Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2014 (unaudited)
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 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.
Semi-Annual Shareholder Report

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 six months ended May 31, 2014, 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 Statements of Operations. As of May 31, 2014, 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.
Tender Option Bond Trusts
The Funds may leverage their assets through the use of tender option bond trusts, which are also referred to as TOBs. A tender option bond 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 tender option bond 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 May 31, 2014, for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund, investments with a value of $25,424,172 are held by the tender option bond 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 $29,593,430 are held by the tender option bond 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 $55,655 and $56,921, respectively, for these investments for the six months ended May 31, 2014.
See additional information in Note 9, Subsequent Events.
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.

At November 30, 2013, Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund had capital loss carryforwards of $5,276,419 and $6,212,503, respectively, which will reduce the Funds' taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, thereby reducing the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income tax. Pursuant to the Code, a net capital loss incurred in taxable years beginning on or before December 22, 2010, is characterized as short-term and may be carried forward for a maximum of eight tax years (“Carryforward Limit”), whereas a net capital loss incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, retains its character as either short-term or long-term, does not expire and is required to be utilized prior to the losses which have a Carryforward Limit.

Table of Contents
Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the six months ended May 31, 2014, the Adviser voluntarily waived $134,129 and $134,420 of its fee for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund, respectively.
Administrative Fee
Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Funds with administrative personnel and services.

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. For each Fund for the six months ended May 31, 2014, the annualized fee paid to FAS was 0.078% of average daily net assets of the Fund.
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 six months ended May 31, 2014, 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.

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. Such expenses may be included in Accrued and Miscellaneous Expenses on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Operations, respectively.
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 tender option bond 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 tender option bond 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 tender option bond 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 May 31, 2014, 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 May 31, 2014, was 0.066% and 0.055%, 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 six months ended May 31, 2014, were $22,939 and $18,832, 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 repurchased in an AMPS tender offer. All expenses of
Semi-Annual Shareholder Report

Table of Contents
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.
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 Statements 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 May 31, 2014, 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 six months ended May 31, 2014, were $18,425,000 and 1.26%, respectively, for Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund, and $27,000,000 and 1.26%, respectively, for Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund. Dividends paid to VMTP shares are treated as interest expense and recorded as incurred. For the six months ended May 31, 2014, interest expense on VMTP shares amounted to $115,598 and $169,397 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 May 31, 2014, there were no such restrictions on the Funds.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On June 19, 2014, each Fund extended the term of its existing VMTP shares for an additional three years to June 19, 2017. The original termination date was December 22, 2014. In addition, each Fund issued additional VMTP shares in a private offering. Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund issued 684 new VMTP shares totaling $17.1 million and Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund issued 767 new shares totaling $19.2 million. The new share issuance replaces the tender option bond trusts, another form of leverage within the Funds. The inverse floaters of the tender option bond trusts were sold and the trusts were liquidated. As a result of the additional VMTP share issuance, each Fund's leverage amount remains largely unchanged and each Fund maintains its current leveraged investment strategy. The total number of VMTP shares in the Funds has increased to 1,421 in Federated Premier Municipal Income Fund and 1,847 in Federated Premier Intermediate Municipal Income Fund.
Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued, and determined that no additional events have occurred that require disclosure.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory ContractMay 2014
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 2014 meetings each Fund's investment advisory contract for an additional one-year term. 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 of care, conscientiousness and independence with which the Board members perform their duties and their expertise, including whether they are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant to its consideration of the Adviser's services and fees. The Board noted that SEC disclosure requirements regarding the basis for the Board's approval of the Fund's advisory contract generally track the factors listed above. Consistent with these judicial decisions and SEC disclosure requirements, 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.
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 mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund's relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; 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 mutual 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.
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. In this regard, the Board was presented with, and considered, information regarding the contractual advisory fee rates, net advisory fee rates and total expense ratios relative to a fund's peers. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual 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.
The Board reviewed the contractual advisory fee rate, and other expenses of FMN and noted the position of FMN's fee rates relative to its peers. In this regard, the Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate was above the median of the relevant peer group, but the Board noted the applicable waivers and reimbursements and that the overall expense structure of FMN remained competitive. The Board will continue to monitor advisory fees and other expenses borne by FMN in the context of the other factors considered relevant by the Board.
The Board reviewed the contractual advisory fee rate, and other expenses of FPT and noted the position of FPT's fee rates relative to its peers. In this regard, the Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate was above the median of the relevant peer group, but the Board noted the applicable waivers and reimbursements and that the overall expense structure of FPT remained competitive. The Board will continue to monitor advisory fees and other expenses borne by FPT in the context of the other factors considered relevant by the Board.
By contrast, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated's fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts and sub-adviser services). He concluded that mutual funds 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; and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows and different associated costs; 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 mutual fund advisory fees.
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 was one of the Board's considerations 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 mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups may be helpful, though not conclusive, in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees. The Board considered, in evaluating such comparisons, that in some cases individual funds may exhibit significant and unique differences in their objectives and management techniques when compared to other funds within an industry peer group.
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.
For the periods covered by the Evaluation, FPT's performance for the one-year period was above the median of the relevant peer group, and FPT's performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the three-year and five-year period. 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 in the context of the other factors considered relevant by the Board.
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 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. In addition, following discussions

Table of Contents
regarding the Senior Officer's May 2013 recommendations, Federated made meaningful reductions to gross advisory fees for several funds. At the Board meeting in May 2014, the Senior Officer proposed, and the Board approved, reductions in the contractual advisory fees of certain other funds.
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 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 may dramatically alter the resulting estimate of cost and/or profitability of a fund and may produce unintended consequences. The allocation information, including the Senior Officer's view that fund-by-fund estimations may be unreliable, was considered in the analysis by the Board.
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 concluded that Federated's profit margins did not appear to be excessive.
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.
