For securities that have been enhanced by a third-party (other than a bond insurer), such as a guarantor, sector classifications are based upon the economic sector and/or revenue source of the third party, as determined by the Fund's Adviser. Securities that are insured by a bond insurer are assigned according to the economic sector and/or revenue source of the underlying obligor. Pre-refunded securities are those whose debt service is paid from escrowed funds, usually U.S. government securities.

1 Sector classifications, and the assignment of holdings to such sectors, are based upon the economic sector and/or revenue source of the underlying borrower, as determined by the Fund's Adviser. For securities that have been enhanced by a third-party (other than a bond insurer), such as a guarantor, sector classifications are based upon the economic sector and/or revenue source of the third party, as determined by the Fund's Adviser. Securities that are insured by a bond insurer are assigned according to the economic sector and/or revenue source of the underlying obligor. Pre-refunded securities are those whose debt service is paid from escrowed funds, usually U.S. government securities.
2 Percentages reflect the fully consolidated asset of any inverse floater trust as presented in the Portfolio of Investments.

Notes to Financial Statements
November 30, 2013
1. Organization
Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund (individually referred to as the “Fund,” or collectively as the “Funds”) are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as diversified, closed-end management investment companies. Each Fund's investment objective is to provide current income exempt from federal income tax, including the federal AMT.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Investment Valuation
In calculating its net asset value (NAV), each Fund generally values investments as follows:
■  Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities greater than 60 days are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Trustees.
■  Fixed-income securities and repurchase agreements acquired with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at their amortized cost (adjusted for the accretion of any discount or amortization of any premium), unless the issuer's creditworthiness is impaired or other factors indicate that amortized cost is not an accurate estimate of the investment's fair value, in which case it would be valued in the same manner as a longer-term security.
■  Shares of other mutual funds or non-exchange-traded investment companies are valued based upon their reported NAVs.
■  Derivative contracts listed on exchanges are valued at their reported settlement or closing price.
■  Over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Trustees.
■  For securities that are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees, certain factors may be considered such as: the purchase price of the security, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysis of the issuer's financial statements or other available documents, fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.
If the Funds cannot obtain a price or price evaluation from a pricing service for an investment, the Funds may attempt to value the investment based upon the mean of bid and asked quotations or fair value the investment based on price evaluations, from one or more dealers. If any price, quotation, price evaluation or other pricing source is not readily available when the NAV is calculated, or if the Funds cannot obtain price evaluations from a pricing service or from more than one dealer for an investment within a reasonable period of time as set forth in the Funds' valuation policies and procedures, the Funds use the fair value of the investment determined in accordance with the procedures described below. There can be no assurance that the Funds could purchase or sell an investment at the price used to calculate each Fund's NAV.
Annual Shareholder Report
31

Table of Contents
Fair Valuation
The Trustees have appointed a Valuation Committee comprised of officers of each Fund, Federated Investment Management Company (“Adviser”) and certain of the Adviser's affiliated companies to determine fair value of securities and in overseeing the calculation of the NAV. The Trustees have also authorized the use of pricing services recommended by the Valuation Committee to provide fair value evaluations of the current value of certain investments for purposes of calculating the NAV. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for reviewing third-party pricing-service evaluations including periodic reviews of third-party pricing services' policies, procedures and valuation methods (including key inputs and assumptions), transactional back-testing, comparisons of evaluations of different pricing services and review of price challenges by the Adviser based on recent market activity. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the Valuation Committee determines the fair value of the investment in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees. The Trustees periodically review and approve the fair valuations made by the Valuation Committee and any changes made to the procedures.
Factors considered by pricing services in evaluating an investment include the yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, call rights and other potential prepayments, terms and type, reported transactions, indications as to values from dealers and general market conditions. Some pricing services provide a single price evaluation reflecting the bid-side of the market for an investment (a “bid” evaluation). Other pricing services offer both bid evaluations and price evaluations indicative of a price between the prices bid and asked for the investment (a “mid” evaluation). The Funds normally use bid evaluations for U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. The Funds normally use mid evaluations for other types of fixed-income securities and OTC derivative contracts. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the fair value of the investment is determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees.
Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified-cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are declared and paid monthly.
Premium and Discount Amortization
All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted using the effective-interest-rate method.
Federal Taxes
It is each Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. As of and during the year ended November 30, 2013, the Funds did not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of November 30, 2013, tax years 2010 through 2013 remain subject to examination by the Funds' major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the state of Delaware.

Table of Contents
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions
The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
Inverse Floater Trusts
The Funds may leverage their assets through the use of inverse floater trusts, which are also referred to as TOBs. An inverse floater trust is established by a third-party sponsor forming a special purpose entity, into which fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds purchased by the Funds are transferred. The inverse floater trust subsequently issues two or more variable rate securities that are collateralized by the cash flows of the fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds. One or more of these variable-rate securities pays interest based on a floating rate set by a remarketing agent at predetermined intervals. A residual-interest tax-exempt security, which is transferred to the Funds, is also created by the trust and pays interest based on the remaining cash flow of the trust, after payment of interest on the other securities and various expenses of the trust.
The Funds account for the transfer of bonds to the trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Funds' Portfolio of Investments and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption, “Payable for floating rate certificate securities” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. At November 30, 2013, for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund, investments with a value of $24,710,231 are held by the inverse floater trusts and serve as collateral for the $17,100,000 in floating rate certificate securities outstanding at that date and for the Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund, investments with a value of $29,102,510 are held by the inverse floater trusts and serve as collateral for the $19,175,000 in floating rate certificate securities outstanding at that date. The Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and the Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund recorded interest and inverse floater trust expenses of $122,878 and $134,331, respectively, for these investments for the year ended November 30, 2013.
Restricted Securities
The Funds may purchase securities which are considered restricted. Restricted securities are securities that either: (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933; or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense, either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Funds will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Funds' restricted securities, like other securities, are priced in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities, defaulted securities, inverse floater trusts, non-deductible offering costs and expiration of capital loss carryforwards.

Table of Contents
Administrative Fee
Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Funds with administrative personnel and services. For purposes of determining the appropriate rate breakpoint, “Investment Complex” is defined as all of the Federated Funds subject to a fee under the Administrative Services Agreement. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average daily net assets of the Investment Complex as specified below, plus certain out-of-pocket expenses:
Administrative Fee Average Daily Net Assets
of the Investment Complex
0.150% on the first $5 billion
0.125% on the next $5 billion
0.100% on the next $10 billion
0.075% on assets in excess of $20 billion
Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The fee paid to FAS was 0.078% and 0.078% for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Fund, respectively.
Expense Limitation
The Adviser and certain of its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) have voluntarily agreed to waive their respective fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual fund operating expenses (as shown in the financial highlights, excluding any interest and trust expenses on inverse floater trusts, interest expense on VMTP shares and commission costs on preferred shareholder dividend payments) paid by each Fund will not exceed 0.99%. While the Adviser and its applicable affiliates currently do not anticipate terminating or increasing these arrangements, no assurance can be given that future total annual operating expenses will not be more or less than 0.99%.
Interfund Transactions
During the year ended November 30, 2013, the Funds engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers.

  Purchases Sales
Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund $21,750,000 $20,500,000
Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund $27,950,000 $27,950,000
General
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Funds are Officers and Directors or Trustees of certain of the above companies. To efficiently facilitate payment, Directors'/Trustees' fees and certain expenses related to conducting meetings of the Directors/Trustees and other miscellaneous expenses are paid by an affiliate of the Adviser which in due course are reimbursed by the Funds.

6. PREFERRED SHARES
Auction Market Preferred Shares
On February 13, 2003, Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund offered 2,147 and 2,441 Auction Market Preferred Shares (AMPS), respectively. The AMPS are redeemable at the option of the Funds at the redemption price of $25,000 per share plus an amount equal to accumulated, but unpaid dividends thereon through the redemption date.
On July 17, 2008, the Funds' Trustees approved a plan to use inverse floater trusts to refinance a portion of the Funds' outstanding AMPS. During the year ended November 30, 2009, Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund redeemed $7,500,000 and $9,000,000, representing 300 and 360 of their outstanding AMPS, respectively, at liquidation value, using proceeds that arose from the use of the inverse floater trusts. During the year ended November 30, 2008, Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund redeemed $9,600,000 and $10,125,000, representing 384 and 405 of their outstanding AMPS, respectively, at liquidation value, using proceeds that arose from the use of the inverse floater trusts. On December 22, 2011, each Fund used the proceeds from its VMTP share private offering, as discussed below, to fund the tender of 737 and 1,080 AMPS for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund, respectively. As of November 30, 2013, Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund currently have outstanding 726 and 596 AMPS, respectively.
Distributions to AMPS are recorded daily and paid weekly at a rate set through auction procedures or under each Fund's Statement of Preferences. The dividend rate to AMPS for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund at November 30, 2013, was 0.055% and 0.066%, respectively.
Each auction requires the participation of one or more Broker-Dealers. The auction agent, currently Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, will enter into agreements with one or more Broker-Dealers selected by the Funds, which provide for the participation of those Broker-Dealers in auctions for AMPS. The auction agent will pay each Broker-Dealer after each auction, from funds provided by the Funds. The trailer commissions for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund for the year ended November 30, 2013, were $46,005 and $37,767, respectively.
Variable Rate Municipal Term Preferred Shares
On December 22, 2011, each Fund issued variable rate municipal term preferred shares (VMTP shares) in a private offering. Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund issued 737 VMTP shares totaling $18.4 million and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund issued 1,080 VMTP shares totaling $27.0 million. Each Fund used the proceeds from its VMTP share offering to pay for the AMPS it accepted in an AMPS tender offer. All expenses of the AMPS tender offer were recorded as incurred. VMTP shares are a floating-rate form of preferred shares with a mandatory term redemption date of December 22, 2014, unless extended, and dividends (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) that are set weekly to a fixed spread of 1.20% against the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index.

Table of Contents
The total liquidation value of the Funds' outstanding preferred shares, comprised of untendered AMPS and VMTP shares, remained unchanged as a result of the AMPS tender and VMTP share issuance. The difference between the liquidation value of the AMPS and actual repurchase price was recognized in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets as an increase in net assets applicable to common shares resulting from the tender and repurchase of AMPS. In the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities, the aggregate liquidation value of the VMTP shares is shown as a liability since the shares have a stated mandatory redemption date. VMTP shares represent preferred shares and rank on parity with the AMPS. VMTP shares are senior in priority to each Fund's outstanding common shares as to payment of dividends. As of November 30, 2013, Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund currently have outstanding 737 and 1,080 VMTP shares, respectively. The average liquidation value outstanding and average annualized dividend rate of VMTP shares for the Funds during the year ended November 30, 2013, were $18,425,000 and 1.30% respectively, for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and $27,000,000 and 1.30%, respectively, for Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund. Dividends paid to VMTP shares are treated as interest expense and recorded as incurred. For the year ended November 30, 2013, interest expense on VMTP shares amounted to $239,260 and $350,613 for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund, respectively,
Whenever preferred shares (including AMPS and VMTP shares) are outstanding, common shareholders will not be entitled to receive any distributions from the Funds unless all accrued dividends on the preferred shares have been paid, the Funds satisfy the 200% asset coverage requirement after giving effect to the distribution, and certain other requirements imposed by any nationally recognized statistical ratings organizations (NRSROs) rating the preferred shares have been met. At November 30, 2013, there were no such restrictions on the Funds.
7. OFFERING COSTS
Costs incurred in connection with each Fund's offering of VMTP shares in the amount of $277,700 per Fund were recorded as a deferred charge which are being amortized over the life of the shares. Each Fund's amortized deferred charges are recognized as a component of the applicable expense on the Statement of Operations.
8. Investment TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, for the year ended November 30, 2013 were as follows:
  Purchases Sales
Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund $22,174,025 $23,449,419
Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund $26,415,727 $27,426,720
9. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013, 100% of distributions from net investment income for each Fund is exempt from federal income tax, other than the federal AMT.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
TO THE BOARD OF Trustees AND SHAREHOLDERS OF Federated premier municipal income fund and federated premier intermediate municipal income fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund (the “Funds”) including the portfolios of investments, as of November 30, 2013, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and others. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund, the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory ContractMay 2013
federated premier municipal income fund (“FMN” or the “Fund”)
Federated premier intermediate municipal income fund (“fpt” or the “fund”) (collectively, “funds”)
Following a review and recommendation of approval by the Funds' independent trustees, the Funds' Board reviewed and approved at its May 2013 meetings each Fund's investment advisory contract for an additional one-year period. The Board's decision regarding these contracts reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.
In this connection, the Federated Funds' Board had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent, written evaluation that covered topics discussed below (the “Evaluation”). The Board considered that Evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contracts.
The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to a fund and its shareholders, including the performance and expenses of the fund and of comparable funds; the Adviser's cost of providing the services, including the profitability to the Adviser of providing advisory services to a fund; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger and, if such economies exist, whether they have been shared with a fund and its shareholders or the family of funds; any “fall-out financial benefits” that accrue to the Adviser because of its relationship with a fund (including research services received from brokers that execute fund trades and any fees paid to affiliates of the Adviser for services rendered to a fund); comparative fee structures, including a comparison of fees paid to the Adviser with those paid by similar funds; and the extent to which the Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant to its consideration of the Adviser's services and fees. Consistent with these judicial decisions, the Board also considered management fees charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of each Fund's advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.
Annual Shareholder Report

Table of Contents
The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Funds and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by independent legal counsel. Throughout the year and in connection with its May meetings, the Board requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Funds and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer's Evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional substantial information in connection with the May meeting at which the Board's formal review of the advisory contracts occurred. At this May meeting, senior management of the Adviser also met with the independent trustees and their counsel to discuss the materials presented and any other matters thought relevant by the Adviser or the trustees. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board's consideration of the advisory contracts included review of the Senior Officer's Evaluation, accompanying data and additional information covering such matters as: the Adviser's investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Funds' short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to their particular investment programs and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Funds' investment objectives; the Funds' expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Funds, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Funds' portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders; the entrepreneurial risk assumed by the Adviser in sponsoring the funds; the continuing state of competition in the investment company industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated's responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board's evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the fund marketplace.
Annual Shareholder Report

Table of Contents
While mindful that courts have cautioned against giving such comparisons too much weight, the Board has found the use of comparisons of the Funds' fees and expenses to other closed-end funds with comparable investment programs to be relevant. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar funds more heavily than non-fund products or services because it is believed that they are more relevant. For example, other closed-end funds are the products most like the Funds, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Funds' investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a relevant indicator of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Funds compete.
It was noted in the materials for the Board meeting that for the period covered by the Evaluation, FMN's investment advisory fee, after waivers and expense reimbursements, if any, was above the median of the relevant peer group. The Board reviewed the fees and other expenses of FMN with the Adviser, noting that the overall expense structure of FMN, after waivers and expense reimbursements, was below the median of the relevant peer group, and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of FMN remained competitive. The Board will continue to monitor advisory fees and other expenses borne by FMN.
It was noted in the materials for the Board meeting that for the period covered by the Evaluation, FPT's investment advisory fee, after waivers and expense reimbursements, if any, was above the median of the relevant peer group. The Board reviewed the fees and other expenses of FPT with the Adviser, noting that the overall expense structure of FPT, after waivers and expense reimbursements, was below the median of the relevant peer group, and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of FPT remained competitive. The Board will continue to monitor advisory fees and other expenses borne by FPT.
By contrast, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated's fees for providing advisory services to Federated registered investment companies as well as products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that registered investment companies and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences include, but are not limited to, different types of targeted investors; being subject to different laws and regulations; different legal structures; different average account sizes; different associated costs; portfolio management techniques made necessary by such differences; and the time spent by portfolio managers and their teams, funds financial services, legal, compliance and risk management in reviewing securities pricing, addressing different administrative responsibilities, addressing different degrees of risk associated with management and a variety of different costs. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be determinative in judging the appropriateness of fund advisory fees.

Table of Contents
The Funds' ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to their peer groups was also deemed to be relevant by the Board as a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Funds' investment programs, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser's investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contracts.
The Senior Officer reviewed information compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other regulated investment companies, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are relevant, though not conclusive, in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.
For the one-year, three-year and five-year periods covered by the Evaluation, FMN's performance was above the median of the relevant peer group.
FPT's performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods covered by the Evaluation. The Board discussed FPT's performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of FPT.
The Board also received financial information about Federated, including information regarding the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. This information covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated's subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds' administrator). The information also detailed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board also considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate. Moreover, the Board receives regular reporting as to the institution, adjustment or elimination of these voluntary waivers.
Federated furnished information, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund by fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund-by-fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, while these cost allocation reports apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in arbitrarily allocating costs continues to cause the Senior officer to question the precision of the process and to conclude that such reports may be unreliable, since a single change in an allocation estimate can dramatically alter the resulting estimate of cost and/or profitability of a fund. The allocation information was considered in the analysis by the Board but was determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed information compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated's profit margins did not appear to be excessive. The Board agreed with this assessment.
The Board also considered whether the Funds might benefit from “economies of scale” and noted that, as “closed-end funds,” which have made an offering of a fixed number of common shares and (other than the issuance of preferred shares contemplated at the time of the Funds' initial public offerings) have not made and do not expect to make additional offerings to raise more assets, the Funds are unlikely to grow materially in size and, as a consequence, there are no meaningful “economies of scale” to be realized from internal growth. Accordingly, the Board concluded that this was not a relevant consideration in its overall evaluation.
The Senior Officer noted that, subject to the comments and recommendations made within his Evaluation, his observations and the information accompanying the Evaluation supported a finding by the Board that the management fees for each of the funds were reasonable. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to, the continuation of the Funds' advisory contracts.
In its decision to continue the existing investment advisory contracts, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Funds' operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew the advisory contracts. In particular, the Board recognized that many shareholders have invested in the Funds on the strength of the Adviser's industry standing and reputation and with the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Funds. Thus, the Board's approval of the advisory contracts reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Funds. The Board concluded that, in light of the factors discussed above, including the nature, quality and scope of the services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, continuation of the advisory contracts was appropriate.
The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contracts on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Funds, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board's decision to approve the contracts reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan
The following description of each Fund's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) is furnished to you annually as required by federal securities laws.
Unless the registered owner of a Fund's common shares elects to receive cash by contacting Computershare Trust Co., N.A. (the “Plan Administrator”), all dividends declared on common shares of the Fund will be automatically reinvested by the Plan Administrator, as agent for shareholders in the Plan, in additional common shares of the Fund. Common shareholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all dividends and other distributions in cash. You may elect not to participate in the Plan and to receive all dividends in cash by contacting the Plan Administrator at the address set forth below if your Shares are registered in your name, or by contacting your bank, broker, or other nominee if your Shares are held in street or other nominee name. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by written notice to the Plan Administrator. Such notice will be effective for a dividend if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the dividend record date; otherwise the notice will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution. Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on your behalf and may reinvest that cash in additional common shares of the Fund for you. If you wish for all dividends declared on your common shares to be automatically reinvested pursuant to the Plan, please contact your broker.
The Plan Administrator will open an account for each common shareholder under the Plan in the same name in which the shareholder's common shares are registered. Whenever the Fund declares a dividend or other distribution payable in cash (together, a “dividend”), non-participants in the Plan will receive cash, and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in common shares. The common shares will be acquired by the Plan Administrator for the participants' accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either: (1) through receipt from the Fund of additional authorized but unissued common shares (“newly issued common shares”); or (2) by purchase of outstanding common shares on the open market (“open-market purchases”) on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for a dividend, the closing market price plus estimated brokerage commissions per common share is equal to or greater than the net asset value (NAV) per common share, the Plan Administrator will invest the dividend amount on behalf of the participants in newly issued common shares. The number of newly issued common shares to be credited to each participant's account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV per common share on the payment date; provided that, if the NAV is less than or equal to 95% of the closing market value on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the closing market price per common share on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any dividend,
Annual Shareholder Report
55

Table of Contents
the NAV per common share is greater than the closing market value plus estimated brokerage commissions, the Plan Administrator will invest the dividend amount in common shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases.
In the event of a market discount on the payment date for any dividend, the Plan Administrator will have until the last business day before the next date on which the common shares trade on an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for such dividend, whichever is sooner (the “last purchase date”), to invest the dividend amount in common shares acquired in open-market purchases. It is contemplated that the Funds will pay monthly income dividends. Therefore, the period during which open-market purchases can be made will exist only from the payment date of each dividend through the day before the next “ex-dividend” date, which will be approximately ten days. If, before the Plan Administrator has completed its open-market purchases, the market price per common share exceeds the NAV per common share, the average per share purchase price paid by the Plan Administrator may exceed the NAV of the common shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer common shares than if the dividend had been paid in newly issued common shares on the dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to open-market purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Administrator is unable to invest the full dividend amount in open-market purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Administrator may cease making open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the dividend amount in newly issued common shares at the NAV per common share at the close of business on the last purchase date; provided that, if the NAV is less than or equal to 95% of the then current market price per common share, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date.
The Plan Administrator maintains all shareholders' accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by shareholders for tax records. Common shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Plan participant, and each shareholder proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Administrator will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote proxies for shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instructions of the participants.
In the case of record shareholders such as banks, brokers, or nominees which hold common shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Administrator will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of common shares certified from time to time by the record holder as held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan.

Table of Contents
There will be no brokerage charges with respect to common shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred in connection with open-market purchases. The automatic reinvestment of dividends will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such dividends. Participants that request a sale of shares through the Plan Administrator are subject to a $15.00 sales fee and a $0.12 per share sold brokerage commission.
Each Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate its Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants with regard to purchases in the Plan; however, each Fund reserves the right to amend its Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants.
All correspondence or questions concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Administrator, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43011, Providence, RI 02940-3011 or by telephone at (800) 730-6001.
The address of the principal office of the Funds is 4000 Ericsson Drive, Warrendale, PA 15086-7561.
The Funds' transfer agent is Computershare Trust Company, N.A., 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Policies regarding Pre-approval of Services.

The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that the provision of such services do not impair the auditor’s independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent auditor has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

Certain services have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of the general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The Audit Committee will annually review the services that may be provided by the independent auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee and may grant general pre-approval for such services. The Audit Committee will revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. The Audit Committee will not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management.

The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its Chairman. The Chairman will report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee will designate another member with such pre-approval authority when the Chairman is unavailable.

AUDIT SERVICES

The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee must approve any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, registered investment company (RIC) structure or other matters.

In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval for other Audit Services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide. The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Audit services, all other Audit services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor, and has pre-approved certain Audit-related services, all other Audit-related services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

TAX SERVICES

The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide Tax services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Tax services, all Tax services involving large and complex transactions must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

ALL OTHER SERVICES

With respect to the provision of services other than audit, review or attest services the pre-approval requirement is waived if:

(1)The aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the registrant, the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided;

 

(2)Such services were not recognized by the registrant, the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and

 

(3)Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee of the issuer and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee who are members of the board of directors to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee.

 

The Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine and recurring services, and would not impair the independence of the auditor.

The SEC’s rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of prohibited non-audit services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.

PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS

Pre-approval fee levels for all services to be provided by the independent auditor will be established annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

PROCEDURES

Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditor and the Principal Accounting Officer and/or Internal Auditor, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

(h) The registrant’s Audit Committee has considered that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies

 

VOTING PROXIES ON FUND PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

The Board has delegated to the Adviser authority to vote proxies on the securities held in the Fund’s portfolio. The Board has also approved the Adviser’s policies and procedures for voting the proxies, which are described below.

Proxy Voting Policies

The Adviser’s general policy is to cast proxy votes in favor of proposals that the Adviser anticipates will enhance the long-term value of the securities being voted. Generally, this will mean voting for proposals that the Adviser believes will: improve the management of a company; increase the rights or preferences of the voted securities; and/or increase the chance that a premium offer would be made for the company or for the voted securities.

The following examples illustrate how these general policies may apply to proposals submitted by a company’s board of directors. However, whether the Adviser supports or opposes a proposal will always depend on the specific circumstances described in the proxy statement and other available information.

 

On matters of corporate governance, generally the Adviser will vote for the full slate of directors nominated in an uncontested election; and for proposals to: require a company’s audit committee to be comprised entirely of independent directors; require independent tabulation of proxies and/or confidential voting by shareholders; reorganize in another jurisdiction (unless it would reduce the rights or preferences of the securities being voted); ratify the board’s selection of auditors (unless compensation for non-audit services exceeded 50% of the total compensation received from the company, or the previous auditor was dismissed because of a disagreement with the company); and repeal a shareholder rights plan (also known as a “poison pill”). The Adviser will generally vote against the adoption of such a plan (unless the plan is designed to facilitate, rather than prevent, unsolicited offers for the company).

 

On matters of capital structure, generally the Adviser will vote: against proposals to authorize or issue shares that are senior in priority or voting rights to the securities being voted; and for proposals to: reduce the amount of shares authorized for issuance; authorize a stock repurchase program; and grant preemptive rights to the securities being voted. The Adviser will generally vote against proposals to eliminate such preemptive rights.

 

On matters relating to management compensation, generally the Adviser will vote: for stock incentive plans that align the recipients’ interests with the interests of shareholders without creating undue dilution; against proposals that would permit the amendment or replacement of outstanding stock incentives with new stock incentives having more favorable terms; and against executive compensation plans that do not disclose the maximum amounts of compensation that may be awarded or the criteria for determining awards.

 

On matters relating to corporate transactions, the Adviser will vote proxies relating to proposed mergers, capital reorganizations, and similar transactions in accordance with the general policy, based upon its analysis of the proposed transaction. The Adviser will vote proxies in contested elections of directors in accordance with the general policy, based upon its analysis of the opposing slates and their respective proposed business strategies. Some transactions may also involve proposed changes to the company’s corporate governance, capital structure or management compensation. The Adviser will vote on such changes based on its evaluation of the proposed transaction or contested election. In these circumstances, the Adviser may vote in a manner contrary to the general practice for similar proposals made outside the context of such a proposed transaction or change in the board. For example, if the Adviser decides to vote against a proposed transaction, it may vote for anti-takeover measures reasonably designed to prevent the transaction, even though the Adviser typically votes against such measures in other contexts.

 

The Adviser generally votes against proposals submitted by shareholders without the favorable recommendation of a company’s board. The Adviser believes that a company’s board should manage its business and policies, and that shareholders who seek specific changes should strive to convince the board of their merits or seek direct representation on the board.

 

In addition, the Adviser will not vote if it determines that the consequences or costs outweigh the potential benefit of voting. For example, if a foreign market requires shareholders casting proxies to retain the voted shares until the meeting date (thereby rendering the shares “illiquid” for some period of time), the Adviser will not vote proxies for such shares.

Proxy Voting Procedures

The Adviser has established a Proxy Voting Committee (Proxy Committee), to exercise all voting discretion granted to the Adviser by the Board in accordance with the proxy voting policies. The Adviser has hired Glass Lewis & Co. (GL) to obtain, vote, and record proxies in accordance with the Proxy Committee’s directions. The Proxy Committee has supplied GL with general voting instructions that represent decisions made by the Proxy Committee in order to vote common proxy proposals; however, the Proxy Committee retains the right to modify these voting instructions at any time or to vote contrary to the voting instructions at any time in order to cast proxy votes in a manner that the Proxy Committee believes is consistent with the Adviser’s general policy. GL may vote any proxy as directed in the voting instructions without further direction from the Proxy Committee and may make any determinations required to implement the voting instructions. However, if the voting instructions require case-by-case direction for a proposal, GL shall provide the Proxy Committee with all information that it has obtained regarding the proposal and the Proxy Committee will provide specific direction to GL.

Conflicts of Interest

The Adviser has adopted procedures to address situations where a matter on which a proxy is sought may present a potential conflict between the interests of the Fund (and its shareholders) and those of the Adviser or Distributor. This may occur where a significant business relationship exists between the Adviser (or its affiliates) and a company involved with a proxy vote. A company that is a proponent, opponent, or the subject of a proxy vote, and which to the knowledge of the Proxy Committee has this type of significant business relationship, is referred to as an “Interested Company.”

 

The Adviser has implemented the following procedures in order to avoid concerns that the conflicting interests of the Adviser have influenced proxy votes. Any employee of the Adviser who is contacted by an Interested Company regarding proxies to be voted by the Adviser must refer the Interested Company to a member of the Proxy Committee, and must inform the Interested Company that the Proxy Committee has exclusive authority to determine how the Adviser will vote. Any Proxy Committee member contacted by an Interested Company must report it to the full Proxy Committee and provide a written summary of the communication. Under no circumstances will the Proxy Committee or any member of the Proxy Committee make a commitment to an Interested Company regarding the voting of proxies or disclose to an Interested Company how the Proxy Committee has directed such proxies to be voted. If the voting instructions already provide specific direction on the proposal in question, the Proxy Committee shall not alter or amend such directions. If the voting instructions require the Proxy Committee to provide further direction, the Proxy Committee shall do so in accordance with the proxy voting policies, without regard for the interests of the Adviser with respect to the Interested Company. If the Proxy Committee provides any direction as to the voting of proxies relating to a proposal affecting an Interested Company, it must disclose to the Fund’s Board information regarding: the significant business relationship; any material communication with the Interested Company; the matter(s) voted on; and how, and why, the Adviser voted as it did. Alternatively, the Proxy Committee may seek direction from the Fund’s Board on how a proposal concerning an Interested Company shall be voted, and shall follow any such direction provided by the Board. In seeking such direction, the Proxy Committee will disclose the reason such company is considered an Interested Company and may provide a recommendation on how such proposal should be voted and the basis for such recommendation.

 

If the Fund holds shares of another investment company for which the Adviser (or an affiliate) acts as an investment adviser, the Proxy Committee will vote the Fund’s proxies in the same proportion as the votes cast by shareholders who are not clients of the Adviser at any shareholders’ meeting called by such investment company, unless otherwise directed by the Board.

 

Proxy Voting Report

A report on "Form N-PX" of how the Fund voted any proxies during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available via the Proxy Voting Record (Form N-PX) link associated with the Fund and share class name at www.FederatedInvestors.com/FundInformation. Form N-PX filings are also available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

 

 

 

 

Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies

 

 

As of the date of filing of the report, the Portfolio Managers listed below are jointly and primarily responsible for managing the Fund’s assets.

 

Lee R. Cunningham II

Lee R. Cunningham II has been a Portfolio Manager of the Fund since the Fund’s inception in December 2002. Mr. Cunningham joined Federated in 1995 as an Investment Analyst, became a Portfolio Manager in 1998 and a Senior Portfolio Manager in 2007. He was named an Assistant Vice President of the Fund’s Adviser in January 1998 and became a Vice President of the Fund’s Adviser in July 2000. From 1986 through 1994, Mr. Cunningham was a Project Engineer with Pennsylvania Power and Light Company. Mr. Cunningham received his M.B.A. with concentrations in Finance and Operations from the University of Pittsburgh.

 

 

Portfolio Manager Information

The following information about the Fund’s portfolio manager is provided as of the end of the fund's most recently completed fiscal year.

 

 

Other Accounts Managed by Lee Cunningham Total Number of Additional Accounts Managed / Total Assets*
Registered Investment Companies 3  /  $712.5 Million
Other Pooled Investment Vehicles 0  /  $0
Other Accounts 0  /  $0

* None of the Accounts has an advisory fee that is based on the performance of the account.

 

Dollar value range of shares owned in the Fund: None.

 

Lee Cunningham is paid a fixed base salary and a variable annual incentive. Base salary is determined within a market competitive position-specific salary range, based on the portfolio manager’s experience and performance. The annual incentive amount is determined based primarily on Investment Product Performance (IPP) and, to a lesser extent, Financial Success, and may be paid entirely in cash, or in a combination of cash and restricted stock of Federated Investors, Inc. (Federated). The total combined annual incentive opportunity is intended to be competitive in the market for this portfolio manager role.

 

 

IPP is calculated based on a mix of rolling one, three and five year total returns and income performance relative to peers and benchmark (i.e. S&P, custom 70% A & up / 20% BBB / 10% HY / 3yr+ / Non AMT). Total return receives greater weighting in calculating the IPP compared to income. The weighting on total return is higher than the income weighting for the trailing one and three year periods. The weighting on income is higher for the five year period. Going forward, the weighting on income will continue to decline, reflecting the group’s emphasis on total return. Performance periods are adjusted if a portfolio manager has been managing an account for less than five years; accounts with less than one-year of performance history under a portfolio manager may be excluded. As noted above, Lee Cunningham is also the portfolio manager for other accounts in addition to the Fund. Such other accounts may have different benchmarks. Within each performance measurement period, IPP is calculated with an equal weighting of each included account managed by the portfolio manager. In this regard, any account for which the total return target is not met with respect to a three or five year period will receive a score of zero for that period. Additionally, a portion of Mr. Cunningham’s IPP score is based on the performance for which he provides research and analytic support. A portion of the bonus tied to the IPP score may be adjusted based on management's assessment of overall contributions to fund performance and any other factors as deemed relevant.

 

The Financial Success category is designed to tie the portfolio manager’s bonus, in part, to Federated’s overall financial results. Funding for the Financial Success category may be determined on a product or asset class basis, as well as on corporate financial results. Senior Management determines individual Financial Success bonuses on a discretionary basis, considering overall contributions and any other factors deemed relevant.

 

In addition, Lee Cunningham was awarded a grant of restricted Federated stock. Awards of restricted stock are discretionary and are made in variable amounts based on the subjective judgment of Federated's senior management.

 

As a general matter, certain conflicts of interest may arise in connection with a portfolio manager’s management of a fund’s investments, on the one hand, and the investments of other accounts for which the portfolio manager is responsible, on the other. For example, it is possible that the various accounts managed could have different investment strategies that, at times, might conflict with one another to the possible detriment of the Fund. Alternatively, to the extent that the same investment opportunities might be desirable for more than one account, possible conflicts could arise in determining how to allocate them. Other potential conflicts might include conflicts created by specific portfolio manager compensation arrangements, and conflicts relating to selection of brokers or dealers to execute fund portfolio trades and/or specific uses of commissions from Fund portfolio trades (for example, research, or “soft dollars”). The Adviser has adopted policies and procedures and has structured the portfolio managers’ compensation in a manner reasonably designed to safeguard the Fund from being negatively affected as a result of any such potential conflicts.

Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

The Fund’s Board of Trustees approved an amendment to the By-Laws of the Fund, effective November 30, 2013, that added advance notice provisions to clarify the requirements for shareholder nominations and proposals, to afford the Board sufficient information in order to access, respond to and, if necessary, present alternatives to any shareholder nominations and proposals, to seek to constrain any potential disruption to the Fund that could hurt long term shareholders and to bring the Fund’s By-Laws more in line with the By-Laws of many other closed-end funds.

Such shareholder’s notice must set forth: (A) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a Trustee, detailed information regarding the Trustee and his or her share ownership; (B) as to any other business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such shareholder and of each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the shareholder giving the notice and each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, detailed information regarding the shareholder and his or her share ownership.
