EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 240 to the Registration Statement of PIMCO Funds (the “Trust” or the “Registrant”) on Form N-1A (File No. 811-05028) (the “Registration Statement”) is being filed to make non-material changes to the Offering Memoranda and Offering Memorandum Supplements to the Trust’s Private Account Portfolio Series, dated July 31, 2010.

The shares of beneficial interest in the Private Account Portfolio Series are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) because such shares will be issued by the Registrant solely in private placement transactions that do not involve any “public offering” within the meaning of the 1933 Act. Shares of the Private Account Portfolio Series may be purchased only by clients of Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, including separately managed private accounts and investment companies registered under the 1940 Act and other funds, who are “accredited investors,” as defined in Regulation D under the 1933 Act, and either (i) “qualified purchasers,” as defined for purposes of Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act, or (ii) “qualified institutional buyers,” as defined in Rule 144A(a)(1) under the 1933 Act. Shares of the Private Account Portfolio Series may also be purchased by certain investors outside of the United States consistent with applicable regulatory requirements. This Amendment is not an offer to sell, or a solicitation of any offer to buy, any security to the public within the meaning of the 1933 Act.


PIMCO Funds

Private Account Portfolio Series

Supplement Dated February 14, 2011 to the Offering Memoranda (the “Offering Memoranda”)

Item 30. Indemnification

Reference is made to Article IV of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, which was filed with the Registrant’s Post-Effective Amendment No. 128 on December 14, 2007.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the Declaration of Trust or otherwise, the Registrant is aware that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and, therefore, is unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by trustees, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense of any act, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustees, officers or controlling persons in connection with the shares being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issues.
