MARCH 31, 2009


A Letter to Shareholders

The past 12 months have been a period investors would like to forget, but instead will vividly remember, as the global financial crisis erupted into

the worst recession in decades. Daily headlines recounted the downfalls of storied financial firms, volatile swings in the world’s financial markets and

monumental government actions, including the recent passage of the nearly $800 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

The economic data generally deteriorated throughout the reporting period. US gross domestic product (“GDP”) contracted at an annual rate of 6.3% in

the fourth quarter of 2008, and economic activity appears on pace to be negative in the first quarter of 2009 as well. The Federal Reserve Board (the

“Fed”) took forceful action to revive the global economy and ailing financial system. In addition to slashing the federal funds target rate from 3.0% to a

record low range of 0% to 0.25%, the central bank provided enormous cash infusions and radically expanded its balance sheet through a range of lending

and acquisition programs.

Against this backdrop, US equities contended with high levels of volatility and posted steep losses, notwithstanding a powerful rally in the final month of the

reporting period. International markets also experienced sharp downturns, with some regions declining as much or more than the United States. Risk

aversion remained the dominant theme in fixed income markets, as investors sought out the haven of Treasury issues at the expense of virtually all other

asset classes. High yield issues, in particular, faced unprecedented challenges and posted severe underperformance; that said, the sector pared its losses

in the first quarter of 2009, as both liquidity and investor sentiment toward lower-quality debt improved. At the same time, the start of the new year brought

somewhat of a return to normalcy for the tax-exempt market, which registered one of its worst years on record in 2008.

In all, investors continued to gravitate toward relative safety, as evidenced in the six- and 12-month returns of the major benchmark indexes:

Total Returns as of March 31, 2009  6-month  12-month 
US equities (S&P 500 Index)  (30.54)%  (38.09)% 
Small cap US equities (Russell 2000 Index)  (37.17)  (37.50) 
International equities (MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East Index)  (31.11)  (46.50) 
US Treasury securities (Merrill Lynch 10-Year US Treasury Index)  11.88  10.46 
Taxable fixed income (Barclays Capital US Aggregate Bond Index)  4.70  3.13 
Tax-exempt fixed income (Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index)  5.00  2.27 
High yield bonds (Barclays Capital US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index)  (12.65)  (18.56)

Effective April 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“FAS 157”). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework
for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair
value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of invest-
ments, which are as follows:
Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices
that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield
curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default
rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indica-
tion of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about
the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting
policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of March 31, 2009 in deter-
mining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

Valuation  Investments in 
Inputs  Securities 
  Assets 
Level 1   
Level 2  $163,491,998 
Level 3   
Total  $163,491,998

Effective April 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“FAS 157”). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework
for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair
value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of invest-
ments, which are as follows:
Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices
that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield
curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default
rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indica-
tion of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about
the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting
policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of March 31, 2009 in determin-
ing the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

Valuation  Investments in 
Inputs  Securities 
  Assets 
Level 1   
Level 2  $2,910,757,017 
Level 3

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“FAS 157”). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework
for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair
value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of invest-
ments, which are as follows:
Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices
that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield
curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default
rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indica-
tion of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about
the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting
policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of March 31, 2009 in deter-
mining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair
value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of invest-
ments, which are as follows:
Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices
that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield
curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default
rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indica-
tion of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about
the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting
policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Effective April 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“FAS 157”). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework
for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair
value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of invest-
ments, which are as follows:
Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices
that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield
curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default
rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indica-
tion of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about
the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting
policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of March 31, 2009 in determin-
ing the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

Effective April 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“FAS 157”). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework
for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair
value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of invest-
ments, which are as follows:
Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices
that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield
curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default
rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indica-
tion of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about
the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting
policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of March 31, 2009 in determin-
ing the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

Valuation  Investments in 
Inputs  Securities 
  Assets 
Level 1   
Level 2  $466,785,853 
Level 3   
Total  $466,785,853

Effective April 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“FAS 157”). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework
for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair
value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of invest-
ments, which are as follows:
Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities
Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices
that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield
curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default
rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indica-
tion of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about
the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting
policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of March 31, 2009 in determin-
ing the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

Valuation  Investments in 
Inputs  Securities 
  Assets 
Level 1   
Level 2  $586,898,689 
Level 3   
Total  $586,898,689

CMA MULTI-STATE MUNICIPAL SERIES TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

CMA Arizona Municipal Money Fund (“CMA Arizona”), CMA California
Municipal Money Fund (“CMA California”), CMA Connecticut Municipal
Money Fund (“CMA Connecticut”), CMA Florida Municipal Money Fund
(“CMA Florida”), CMA Massachusetts Municipal Money Fund (“CMA
Massachusetts”), CMA Michigan Municipal Money Fund (“CMA Michigan”),
CMA New Jersey Municipal Money Fund (“CMA New Jersey”), CMA New York
Municipal Money Fund (“CMA New York”), CMA North Carolina Municipal
Money Fund (“CMA North Carolina”), CMA Ohio Municipal Money Fund
(“CMA Ohio”) and CMA Pennsylvania Municipal Money Fund (“CMA
Pennsylvania”) (collectively, the “Funds”) are part of CMA Multi-State
Municipal Series Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Massachusetts
business trust. The Funds are registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as non-diversified, open-end
management investment companies. The Funds’ financial statements are
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America, which may require the use of management
accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds:

Valuation of Investments: The Funds’ securities are valued under the amor-
tized cost method which approximates current market value in accordance
with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Under this method, securities are valued at
cost when purchased and thereafter, a constant proportionate amortization
of any discount or premium is recorded until the maturity of the security. The
Funds seeks to maintain the net asset value per share at $1.00, although
there is no assurance that it will be able to do so on a continuing basis.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions
are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade
dates). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined
on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual
basis. The Funds amortize all premiums and discounts on debt securities.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net invest-
ment income are declared and reinvested daily and paid monthly.
Distributions of realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income Taxes: It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies
and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders.
Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

The Funds file US federal and various state and local tax returns. No
income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limita-
tions on the Funds’ US federal tax returns remains open for the four years
ended March 31, 2009. The statutes of limitations on the Funds’ state and
local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon
the jurisdiction.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement: In March 2008, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133” (“FAS 161”) was issued. FAS 161 is intended to improve financial

reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that
enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives,
how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an
entity’s results of operations and financial position. FAS 161 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning
after November 15, 2008. The impact on the Funds’ financial statement
disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

Other: Expenses directly related to the Funds are charged to that Fund.
Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro-rated among the
funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions
with Affiliates:

The Trust, on behalf of each of the Funds, entered into separate Investment
Advisory Agreements with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), an indi-
rect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., to provide investment
advisory and administration services. The PNC Financial Services Group,
Inc. (“PNC”) and Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) are the largest
stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BAC became a stockholder
of BlackRock following its acquisition of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill
Lynch”) on January 1, 2009. Prior to that date, both PNC and Merrill Lynch
were considered affiliates of the Funds under the 1940 Act. Subsequent to
the acquisition, PNC remains an affiliate, but due to the restructuring of
Merrill Lynch’s ownership interest of BlackRock, BAC is not deemed to be
an affiliate under the 1940 Act.

The Advisor is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio and
provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other
services necessary to the operations of the Funds. For such services, each
Fund pays the Advisor a monthly fee based on the average daily value of
the Fund’s net assets at the following annual rates:

Portion of average daily value of net assets:  Rate 
 
Not exceeding $500 million  0.500% 
In excess of $500 million but not exceeding $1 billion  0.425% 
In excess of $1 billion  0.375% 

The Advisor has entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement with
BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Advisor,
with respect to each Fund under which the Advisor pays BIM for services it
provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fee
paid by each Fund to the Advisor.

For the year ended March 31, 2009, the Funds reimbursed the Advisor the
following amounts for certain accounting services, which are included in
accounting services in the Statements of Operations:

  Accounting 
  Services 
 
CMA Arizona     $  3,320 
CMA California  $62,412 
CMA Connecticut  $11,443 
CMA Florida     $  5,815 
CMA Massachusetts     $  7,737 
CMA Michigan     $  5,356 
CMA New Jersey  $28,125 
CMA New York  $60,060 
CMA North Carolina     $  3,728 
CMA Ohio     $  8,246 
CMA Pennsylvania  $11,536 

50 CMA MULTI-STATE MUNICIPAL SERIES TRUST

MARCH 31, 2009


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Effective October 1, 2008, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered
in a Distribution Agreement and a Shareholder Servicing and Distribution
Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BIL”),
which replaced Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated
(“MLPF&S”) (collectively, the “Distributor”) as the sole distributor of the
Funds. MLPF&S is a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch. BIL is an
affiliate of BlackRock. The distribution fees did not change as a result of
the transaction.

Pursuant to the Distribution Plan adopted by the Trust on behalf of the
Funds in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, each Fund pays
the Distributor a distribution fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly
at an annual rate of 0.125% of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Advisor and the Distributor voluntarily agreed to waive their respective
advisory and distribution fees and reimburse operating expenses to enable
the Funds to maintain a minimum daily net investment income dividend.
These amounts are shown as fees waived by advisor and distribution fees
waived in the Statements of Operations. The Advisor and the Distributor
may discontinue the waiver or reimbursement at any time.

Financial Data Services, Inc. (“FDS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Merrill Lynch, serves as transfer agent. Interest is earned by the Funds
from FDS based on the difference, if any, between estimated and actual
daily share activity, which results in uninvested net proceeds from sales
of the Funds’ shares.

Pursuant to the terms of the custody agreement, custodian fees may be
reduced by amounts calculated on uninvested cash balances, which are
shown on the Statements of Operations as fees paid indirectly.

Certain officers and/or trustees of the Trust are officers and/or directors
of BlackRock, Inc. or its affiliates. The Funds reimburse the Advisor for
compensation paid to the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer.

3. Market and Credit Risk:

In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and
enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market
(market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations
(credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in
response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers
whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general
economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social
or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctua-
tions. Similar to credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk,
or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open
transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the
Funds to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments
and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to
credit and counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets is
approximated by their value recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets
and Liabilities.

4. Capital Share Transactions:

The number of shares sold, reinvested and redeemed during the periods
corresponds to the amounts included in the Statements of Changes in
Net Assets with respect to net proceeds from sale of shares, reinvestment
of dividends and cost of shares redeemed, respectively, since shares are
recorded at $1.00 per share.

5. Income Tax Information:

Reclassifications: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America require that certain components of net assets be ad-
justed to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting.
The following permanent differences as of March 31, 2009 attributable to
the expiration of capital loss carryforwards, the use of equalization and
non-deductible expenses were reclassified to the following accounts:

    CMA    CMA    CMA

6. Federal Insurance:         

The Funds participate in the US Treasury Department’s Temporary
Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”). As a result
of the Funds’ participation in the Program, in the event a Fund’s net
asset value falls below $0.995 per share, shareholders in that Fund will
have federal insurance of $1.00 per share up to the lesser of shareholders’
balances in the Fund as of the close of business on September 19, 2008,
or the remaining balances of such shareholder accounts as of the date
the guarantee is triggered. Any increase in the number of shares in a
shareholder’s balance after the close of business on September 19, 2008
and any future investments after a shareholder has closed their account
will not be guaranteed. As a participant of the Program, which expires
September 18, 2009, each Fund paid a participation fee of 0.01% for
the period September 19, 2008 through December 18, 2008 and 0.03%
for the period December 19, 2008 through September 18, 2009 of the
Funds’ shares outstanding value as of September 19, 2008. The participa-
tion fee for the period September 19, 2008 to March 31, 2009 is included
in federal insurance on the Statements of Operations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
CMA Multi-State Municipal Series Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments, of CMA Multi-State Municipal
Series Trust (the “Trust”) comprising of CMA Arizona Municipal Money Fund,
CMA California Municipal Money Fund, CMA Connecticut Municipal Money
Fund, CMA Florida Municipal Money Fund, CMA Massachusetts Municipal
Money Fund, CMA Michigan Municipal Money Fund, CMA New Jersey
Municipal Money Fund, CMA New York Municipal Money Fund, CMA North
Carolina Municipal Money Fund, CMA Ohio Municipal Money Fund and
CMA Pennsylvania Municipal Money Fund (collectively, the “Funds”) as of
March 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations 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 the periods
presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Trust’s 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 the 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. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial report-

ing 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 Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accord-
ingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the finan-
cial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned as of March 31, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other
auditing procedures. 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
each of the Funds constituting CMA Multi-State Municipal Series Trust
as of March 31, 2009, the results of their operations 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 the periods presented,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

1 The nature of the services include assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit of
financial statements not included in Audit Fees.
2 The nature of the services include tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.
3 The nature of the services include a review of compliance procedures and attestation thereto.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
The registrant’s audit committee (the “Committee”) has adopted policies and
procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax


compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-
approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services
provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the registrant’s affiliated
service providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the
registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are a) consistent
with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services that will
not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the
Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”).
The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless
the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to
the registrant which have a direct impact on the operation or financial reporting of the
registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not
exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 for all of the registrants the
Committee oversees. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if
they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.
Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific
pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-
approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each
service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person
board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee
for ratification. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to
approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit
services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.

(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by
the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered and determined that the provision of
non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including
any non-affiliated sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is
subcontracted with or overseen by the registrant’s 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.
