SUPPLEMENT TO PROSPECTUS AND STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DATED AUGUST 31, 2019
On November 14, 2019, the Board of Trustees of Federated Short-Intermediate Duration Municipal Trust (the “Fund”) approved the following changes to the Fund's Class A Shares and Service Shares: adjustment to the Class A Shares' sales load and breakpoint discount schedule so that the current 1.00% sales charge is applied only to Class A Share purchases of less than $100,000; reduction of the Class A Shares' distribution (Rule 12b-1) fee from an active 0.25% fee to a dormant 0.05% fee; and elimination of the Service Shares' distribution (Rule 12b-1) fee. These changes will be effective December 1, 2019.
1. Under the Prospectus section “Risk/Return Summary: Fees and Expenses,” please delete the fee table and example in their entirety and replace them with the following:
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold Class A Shares (A), Institutional Shares (IS) or Service Shares (SS) of the Fund. You may qualify for certain sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $100,000 in certain classes (e.g., A class) of Federated funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional, in the “What Do Shares Cost?” section of the Prospectus on page 17 and in “Appendix B” to this Prospectus. If you purchase the Fund's IS Shares through a broker acting as an agent on behalf of its customers, you may be required to pay a commission to such broker; such commissions, if any, are not reflected in the Example below.

1 The Distribution (12b-1) Fee, Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses, Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements and Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements have been restated to reflect current fees due to a reduction in and elimination of the stated Distribution (12b-1) Fee for the Fund's Class A Shares and Service Shares, respectively.
2 The Fund has adopted a Distribution (12b-1) Plan for its Class A Shares pursuant to which the A class of the Fund may incur or charge a Distribution (12b-1) Fee of up to a maximum amount of 0.05%. No such fee is currently incurred or charged by the A class of the Fund. The A class of the Fund will not incur or charge such a Distribution (12b-1) Fee until such time as approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”).
3 Under the investment advisory contract, the Adviser is required to reimburse/waive the amount, limited to the amount of the management fee, by which the Fund's aggregate annual operating expenses, including the management fee, but excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, expenses of registering and qualifying the Fund and its shares under federal and state laws, expenses of withholding taxes and extraordinary expenses exceed (after voluntary waivers and reimbursements) 0.45% of the Fund's IS class average daily net assets. Acquired fund fees and expenses are not direct obligations of the Fund and are not contractual reimbursements under the investment advisory contract. In addition, the Adviser and certain of its affiliates on their own initiative have agreed to waive certain amounts of their respective fees and/or reimburse expenses. Effective December 1, 2019, the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, extraordinary expenses and proxy-related expenses paid by the Fund, if any) paid by the Fund's A, IS and SS classes (after the voluntary waivers and/or reimbursements) will not exceed 0.71%, 0.47% and 0.71% (the “Fee Limit”), respectively, up to but not including the later of (the “Termination Date”): (a) September 1, 2020; or (b) the date of the Fund's next effective Prospectus. While the Adviser and its affiliates currently do not anticipate terminating or increasing these arrangements prior to the Termination Date, these arrangements may only be terminated or the Fee Limit increased prior to the Termination Date with the agreement of the Trustees.

Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that operating expenses for the A and SS classes are as shown in the table above and remain the same. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that operating expenses for the IS class are based on the contractual expense limitation as shown in the table above and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
Share Class 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
A $182 $356 $545 $1,092
IS $47 $148 $258 $579
SS $83 $259 $450 $1,002
2. Under the Prospectus section “What Do Shares Cost?,” please replace the chart under “Sales Charge When You Purchase” with the following:
SALES CHARGE WHEN YOU PURCHASE
The following table lists the sales charges which will be applied to your Share purchase, subject to the breakpoint discounts indicated in the table and described below.
Purchase Amount Sales Charge
as a Percentage
of Public
Offering Price
Sales Charge
as a Percentage
of NAV
Less than $100,000 1.00% 1.01%
$100,000 or greater 0.00% 0.00%
3. Under the Prospectus section “Payments to Financial Intermediaries,” please replace the sub-section “Front-End Sales Charge Reallowances” with the following:
FRONT-END SALES CHARGE REALLOWANCES
The Distributor receives a front-end sales charge on certain Share sales. The Distributor pays a portion of this charge to financial intermediaries that are eligible to receive it (the “Dealer Reallowance”) and retains any remaining portion of the front-end sales charge.
When a financial intermediary's customer purchases Shares, the financial intermediary may receive a Dealer Reallowance as follows:
A Class:  
Purchase Amount Dealer Reallowance
as a Percentage of
Public Offering Price
Less than $100,000 1.00%
$100,000 or greater 0.00%
4. Under the Prospectus section “Payments to Financial Intermediaries,” please replace the disclosure under the section “Rule 12b-1 Fees” with the following:
“RULE 12b-1 FEES
A Class
The Board has adopted a Rule 12b-1 Plan, which allows payment of marketing fees of up to 0.05% of average net assets to the Distributor for the sale, distribution, administration and customer servicing of the Fund's A class. When the Distributor receives Rule 12b-1 Fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase Shares. The A class of the Fund has no present intention of paying, accruing or incurring any Rule 12b-1 Fees until such time as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. Because these Shares pay marketing fees on an ongoing basis, your investment cost may be higher over time than other shares with different sales charges and marketing fees.”

5. Under “Appendix A: Hypothetical Investment Expense Information” to the Prospectus, please replace the A Class and SS Class charts in their entirety with the following:

6. In the Statement of Additional Information section “How is the Fund Sold?,” please replace the section “Rule 12b-1 Plan” with the following:
“Rule 12b-1 Plan (CLASS A SHARES ONLY)
As a compensation-type plan, the Rule 12b-1 Plan is designed to pay the Distributor for activities principally intended to result in the sale of Shares such as advertising and marketing of Shares (including printing and distributing prospectuses and sales literature to prospective shareholders and financial intermediaries) and providing incentives to financial intermediaries to sell Shares. The Plan is also designed to cover the cost of administrative services performed in conjunction with the sale of Shares, including, but not limited to, shareholder services, recordkeeping services and educational services, as well as the costs of implementing and operating the Plan. The Rule 12b-1 Plan allows the Distributor to contract with financial intermediaries to perform activities covered by the Plan. The Rule 12b-1 Plan is expected to benefit the Fund in a number of ways. For example, it is anticipated that the Plan will help the Fund attract and retain assets, thus providing cash for orderly portfolio management and Share redemptions and possibly helping to stabilize or reduce other operating expenses.
In addition, the Plan is integral to the multiple class structure of the Fund, which promotes the sale of Shares by providing a range of options to investors. The Fund's service providers that receive asset-based fees also benefit from stable or increasing Fund assets.
The Fund may compensate the Distributor more or less than its actual marketing expenses. In no event will the Fund pay for any expenses of the Distributor that exceed the maximum Rule 12b-1 Plan fee.
The maximum Rule 12b-1 Plan fee that can be paid in any one year may not be sufficient to cover the marketing-related expenses the Distributor has incurred. Therefore, it may take the Distributor a number of years to recoup these expenses.
The Class A Shares of the Fund currently do not accrue, pay or incur any Rule 12b-1 Plan fee, although the Board of Trustees has adopted a Plan that permits the Class A Shares of the Fund to accrue, pay and incur a Rule 12b-1 Plan fee of up to a maximum amount of 0.05% of average net assets, or some lesser amount as the Board of Trustees shall approve from time to time. The Class A Shares of the Fund will not incur or charge such Rule 12b-1 Plan fees until such time as approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees.”
