A Portfolio of Money Market Obligations Trust
Time is of the essence. Voting only takes a few minutes, and your participation is important! Act now to help the fund avoid additional expense.
We recommend that you read the Proxy Statement in its entirety; the explanation will help you decide on the vote.
Thank you in advance for your vote, and for your continued support of the Federated Funds.
Federated Automated Government Cash Reserves (“AGCR” or the “Fund”) will hold a special meeting of shareholders on December 8, 2015.
Shareholders are being asked to approve the Reorganization of AGCR into Federated Government Obligations Tax-Managed Fund (GOTMF), a money market fund with identical investment objectives and strategies that invests exclusively in the highest rated securities and has lower net expenses.
Please refer to the enclosed Prospectus/Proxy Statement as well as the highlighted information below for details on the Reorganization.
Why am I being asked to vote?
Certain mutual funds are required to obtain shareholder approval for Reorganizations, like the one described here and in the accompanying Prospectus/Proxy Statement. As a shareholder of AGCR, you have a right to vote on the Reorganization, and we urge you to do so. Your prompt response will save the Fund the additional expense of follow-up mailings and proxy solicitations.
Why has the Board of Trustees recommended that I vote in favor of the Reorganization?
The Board of Trustees of the Fund, including a majority of the trustees who are “non-interested” trustees (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940), approved the Reorganization because it believes that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders, and that the interests of existing shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.
If approved by shareholders and after the Reorganization, shareholders will be invested in a larger, more viable fund with identical investment objectives, lower net expenses, and the potential for greater fund efficiencies and investment opportunities. Further, the Fund's Adviser believes that AGCR will be receiving shares of a fund that would be better suited to meet investor demands in response to the implementation of the amendments to the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which governs money market funds.
Please see the section entitled “SummaryReasons for the Proposed Reorganization” in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement for more information.
How will the Reorganization affect my investment?
The cash value of your investment will not change as a result of the Reorganization, and you will not have to pay any sales charge in connection with the transfer of your assets.
Following shareholder approval, AGCR will transfer all or substantially all of its assets to GOTMF, in exchange for Automated Shares (AS) of GOTMF. GOTMF's Automated Shares will be distributed pro rata by AGCR to its shareholders in complete liquidation and termination of AGCR.
AGCR shareholders will receive Automated Shares of GOTMF with a total net asset value (NAV) equal to the total NAV of the AGCR Service Shares owned on the date of the Reorganization.

If you own shares In: You will receive shares of:
Federated Automated Government Cash Reserves Federated Government
Obligations Tax-Managed Fund
Service Shares Automated Shares

  
What are the tax consequences of the Reorganization?
The Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The Fund will distribute any undistributed income and realized capital gains accumulated prior to the Reorganization to its shareholders. These distributions, if any, will be taxable.
When will the Reorganization occur?
Assuming shareholder approval is obtained, the Reorganization is expected to occur after the close of business on or about December 18, 2015.
What are the costs associated with the Reorganization?
AGCR will pay the direct proxy expenses associated with the Reorganization which are estimated to be approximately $24,798; provided that GOTMF will pay registration fees with respect to securities issued pursuant to the Reorganization, on an as-incurred basis. Given the waiver positions of AGCR and GOTMF, and the fact that AGCR and GOTMF are being operated at the applicable voluntary expense caps, the Adviser expects that the Adviser and its affiliates will indirectly pay some or all of the expenses that AGCR and GOTMF are being asked to pay.
Can I continue to make purchases into AGCR?
Yes, you can make purchases into AGCR until the close of business on December 18, 2015, at which time the Fund will be closed to investments.
Will my current account options transfer over to my new account?
Yes, these servicing features will transfer automatically to your GOTMF account. However, if you participate in a systematic investment program, you will receive a communication requesting that you confirm your continued participation in such a plan.
What should I do in connection with the Reorganization?
Please vote your shares today. If the Reorganization is approved, at the close of business on or about December 18, 2015, your shares will automatically be exchanged for GOTMF's Automated Shares. Please do not attempt to make the Reorganization exchange into GOTMF yourself.

This Prospectus/Proxy Statement describes the proposal for the reorganization (the “Reorganization”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”), of Federated Automated Government Cash Reserves (AGCR), with and into Federated Government Obligations Tax-Managed Fund (GOTMF). Under the Plan, AGCR would transfer all or substantially all of its assets to GOTMF, in exchange for Shares of GOTMF. GOTMF is expected to be the accounting survivor in the Reorganization. Shares of GOTMF will be distributed pro rata by AGCR to its shareholders in complete liquidation and termination of AGCR. As a result of the Reorganization, each shareholder holding Shares of AGCR will become the shareholder of Shares of GOTMF, having a total net asset value (NAV) equal to the total NAV of the shareholder's holdings in AGCR on the date of the Reorganization (the “Closing Date”). For purposes of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement, AGCR and GOTMF may be referred to individually, as applicable, as a “Fund” and, collectively, as the “Funds.”
The Board of Trustees of AGCR, including a majority of the “non-interested” trustees (as that term is defined under the 1940 Act) (the “Board”) has determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of AGCR, and that interests of the existing shareholders of AGCR will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The Board is recommending that shareholders of AGCR approve the Reorganization. Information on the rationale for the Reorganization is included in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement in the section entitled “SummaryReasons for the Proposed Reorganization.”
The Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). For information on the tax consequences of the Reorganization, see the sections entitled “SummaryTax Consequences” and “Information about the Reorganization—Federal Income Tax Consequences” in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.
The investment objective of AGCR is current income consistent with stability of principal and liquidity. The investment objective of GOTMF is current income with stability of principal and liquidity. For a comparison of the investment objectives, policies, limitations and risks of AGCR with those of GOTMF, see the section entitled “Summary—Comparison of Investment Objectives, Policies and Risks” in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

SUMMARY
This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the additional information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement, or incorporated by reference into this Prospectus/Proxy Statement. A form of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the reorganization (the “Reorganization”) will be conducted is attached to this Prospectus/Proxy Statement as Annex A.
If the proposal is approved, under the Plan, AGCR will transfer all, or substantially all, of its assets (except for deferred or prepaid expenses to the extent that they do not have a continuing value to GOTMF, and which are not expected to be material in amount; and amounts reserved for payments of AGCR's liabilities and any additional cash received by AGCR after the Closing Date in excess of accrued liabilities recorded on the AGCR's books on or before the Closing Date that is retained by AGCR's Adviser) to GOTMF in exchange for Automated Shares of GOTMF. AGCR will be required to discharge all of its respective liabilities and obligations prior to consummation of the Reorganization. GOTMF is expected to be the accounting survivor of the Reorganization. GOTMF's Automated Shares will be distributed pro rata by AGCR to its shareholders in complete liquidation and termination of AGCR. As a result of the Reorganization, each shareholder of AGCR's Service Shares will become the shareholder of Automated Shares of GOTMF having a total NAV equal to the total NAV of the shareholder's holdings in AGCR on the date of the Reorganization.
REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION
The Boards considered the potential benefits and costs of the Reorganization to AGCR and GOTMF and their respective shareholders. In this regard, the Boards reviewed detailed information comparing each Fund, as described herein.
AGCR and GOTMF are each money market funds that seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. Each of the Funds has substantially similar investment objectives and investment strategies. However, GOTMF has lower net expenses on its Automated Shares as compared to the Service Shares of AGCR. Accordingly, it is anticipated that the Reorganization will provide AGCR shareholders with a fund that offers similar investment objectives and strategies with lower net expenses than currently offered by AGCR. The Board of AGCR, including a majority of the trustees who are not “non-interested” trustees” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), has determined, pursuant to Rule 17a-8 of the 1940 Act, that participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of AGCR and that the interests of the existing shareholders of AGCR will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The Board of GOTMF likewise approved the Reorganization on behalf of GOTMF. Pursuant to Rule 17a-8 of the 1940 Act, the Board of GOTMF, including a majority of the trustees who are not “non-interested” trustees within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, determined that the Reorganization is in the best interest of GOTMF and its shareholders, and that the interests of the existing GOTMF shareholders would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.
In considering whether to approve the Reorganization, and reaching the above conclusions, the Board of each Fund took into consideration a number of factors, including:
AGCR and GOTMF have substantially similar investment objectives and primary investment strategies;
A comparison of the expenses of AGCR and GOTMF, including the lower net expenses of GOTMF compared to the expenses of AGCR;
The fact that it is expected that the Reorganization will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes (and that the Funds will receive an opinion of counsel to this effect);
That GOTMF is expected to benefit from the increase in its assets following the Reorganization resulting in a larger, more viable fund with potential for greater efficiencies and investment opportunities;
That there will be no dilution to shareholders in the transaction, because each AGCR shareholder will become the owner of shares of GOTMF having a total net asset value equal to the total net asset value of his or her holdings in AGCR on the date of the Reorganization; and
That GOTMF's performance is generally competitive with that of AGCR, and there is no anticipated decline in services to AGCR shareholders as a result of the Reorganization.
With respect to Reorganization-related expenses, the Board of each Fund considered that:
GOTMF will pay registration fees, with respect to securities issued pursuant to the Reorganization, on an as incurred basis;
1

AGCR will pay direct proxy expenses associated with the Reorganization estimated at approximately $24,798; and provided that GOTMF will pay registration fees with respect to securities issued pursuant to the Reorganization on an as-incurred basis;
Given the waiver positions of AGCR and GOTMF and the fact that AGCR and GOTMF are being operated at the applicable voluntary expense caps, the Adviser expects that the Adviser and its affiliates will indirectly pay some or all of the expenses that AGCR and GOTMF are being asked to pay.
In sum, AGCR shareholders will be receiving shares in a larger, more viable fund with share class net expense ratios below AGCR's share class net expense ratios. Further, shareholders of AGCR will be receiving shares of a fund which the Adviser believes would be better suited to meet investor demands in response to the implementation of the amendments to the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, which governs money market funds. The Adviser has recommended and the Board has approved certain policies in response to the implementation of the amendments to the requirements of Rule 2a-7. Among other items, this includes approving a non-fundamental investment policy necessary for GOTMF to qualify as a government money market fund. Similar policies have not been adopted on behalf of AGCR. AGCR shareholders also will be receiving shares of GOTMF in a Reorganization transaction that is intended to be tax-free and therefore will experience a more preferable tax result as compared to a liquidation of AGCR.
Given the above factors, the Adviser believes that the bulk of the benefits of the Reorganization favor AGCR and its shareholders, as opposed to the Adviser and its affiliates, and that, in this instance, the proposed allocation of expenses is reasonable and appropriate, and does not result in unfair dilution or AGCR bearing the cost of a transaction where a greater benefit will accrue to another person (such as the Adviser and its affiliates). Based on the information and considerations described above and otherwise in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the Board approved the Reorganization and the Plan on May 14, 2015.
TAX CONSEQUENCES
Tax-Free Reorganization under the Code
As a condition to the Reorganization, each Fund will receive an opinion of counsel that the Reorganization will be considered a tax-free “reorganization” under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), so that no gain or loss will be recognized directly as a result of the Reorganization by either Fund or by AGCR's shareholders. The tax basis of the shares of GOTMF received by the AGCR shareholders will be the same as the tax basis of their shares in AGCR. Prior to the Reorganization, AGCR will distribute to shareholders any previously undistributed ordinary income and net capital gains accumulated prior to the Reorganization. Any such distributions will be taxable to AGCR shareholders. For further discussion, see “Information About the Reorganization—Federal Income Tax Consequences.”
Distributions and the Treatment of Capital Loss Carryforwards and Realized Gains
As noted above, shareholders generally will not incur capital gains or losses on the exchange of shares of AGCR for shares of GOTMF as a result of the Reorganization. However, shareholders may incur capital gains or losses if they sell their shares of AGCR before the Reorganization becomes effective or sell/exchange their shares of GOTMF after the Reorganization becomes effective. Shareholders also will be responsible for tax obligations associated with monthly, periodic, or other dividend or capital gains distributions that occur prior to and after the Reorganization.
For example, shareholders will be responsible for any taxes payable in connection with taxable distributions made, if any, by AGCR immediately prior to the Reorganization. These distributions may include capital gains realized on dispositions of portfolio securities in the ordinary course of business or in connection with the Reorganization. It is anticipated that AGCR will transfer most, if not all, of its portfolio to GOTMF pursuant to the Reorganization. As of the Closing Date, if any such dispositions of portfolio securities from the portfolio of AGCR result in AGCR having a net capital gain, such capital gain will be distributed to shareholders as a taxable distribution prior to the Reorganization being consummated. AGCR does not currently intend to sell any of its portfolio securities, other than in the ordinary course of business, prior to the Reorganization. Consequently, because AGCR anticipates transferring most, if not all, of its securities to GOTMF pursuant to the Reorganization, brokerage costs incurred in connection with the Reorganization and the repositioning of AGCR's portfolio are expected to be minimal.
As of April 30, 2015, its last fiscal year end for which audited financial statements are available, AGCR had no capital loss carryforward. As of July 31, 2015, AGCR had estimated year-to-date realized gains of approximately $970 and no unrealized gains or losses. GOTMF did not have any capital loss carryforwards as of July 31, 2015, its last fiscal year end for which audited financial statements are available. As of July 31, 2015, its most recent fiscal year end, GOTMF had net realized capital
2

gains of $94,223 and no unrealized gains or losses. To the extent that AGCR would be in a realized net capital gain position prior to the Reorganization, AGCR would make distributions of the capital gains (as well as any other required distributions) prior to the Reorganization being consummated. Capital gains distributed by AGCR in connection with the Reorganization are expected to be minimal.
Shareholders of AGCR should consult their tax advisors regarding the federal, state and local tax treatment and implications of the Reorganization in light of their individual circumstances.
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF AGCR UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU
VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE REORGANIZATION.
COMPARISON OF INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND RISKS
This section will help you compare the investment objectives, policies and risks of the Funds. The investment objectives, policies and risks of the Funds are substantially similar. The differences in the Fund's investment objectives, policies and risks are discussed below. AGCR and GOTMF are both government funds, with similar objectives and strategies. Effective September 30, 2015, GOTMF will also invest its assets so that at least 99.5% of its total assets are invested in government securities, whereas ACGR will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowing for investment purposes) in government investments. If ACGR were not reorganizing into GOTMF, it is expected that GOTMF would consider implementing a similar non-fundamental investment policy pursuant to which it would invest its assets so that at least 99.5% of its total assets would be invested in government securities.
The differences in the Funds' investment limitations are also discussed below. Please be aware that the foregoing is only a summary, and this section is only a brief discussion. More complete information may be found in each Fund's prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
AGCR
The investment objective of AGCR is current income with stability of principal and liquidity.
There is no assurance that either Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Fund invests only in a portfolio of U.S. Treasury and government securities maturing in 397 days or less that pay interest exempt from state personal income tax. Accordingly, the Fund will not engage in repurchase agreement transactions, or invest in government securities that pay interest subject to state personal income tax, including those issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, or the Government National Mortgage Association.
The Fund's Adviser targets a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity (DWAM) range based upon its interest rate outlook. The Adviser formulates its interest rate outlook by analyzing a variety of factors, such as:
current U.S. economic activity and the economic outlook;
current short-term interest rates;
the Federal Reserve Board's policies regarding short-term interest rates; and
the potential effects of foreign economic activity on U.S. short-term interest rates.
The Adviser generally shortens the portfolio's DWAM when it expects interest rates to rise and extends the DWAM when it expects interest rates to fall. This strategy seeks to enhance the returns from favorable interest rate changes and reduce the effect of unfavorable changes. The Adviser selects securities used to shorten or extend the portfolio's DWAM by comparing the returns currently offered by different investments to their historical and expected returns.
The Fund will: (1) maintain a DWAM of 60 days or less; and (2) maintain a weighted average life (WAL) of 120 days or less. Certain of the securities in which the Fund invests may pay interest at a rate that is periodically adjusted (“Adjustable Rate Securities”). For purposes of calculating DWAM, the maturity of an Adjustable Rate Security generally will be the period remaining until its next interest rate adjustment. For purposes of calculating WAL, the maturity of an Adjustable Rate Security will be its stated final maturity, without regard to interest rate adjustments; accordingly, the 120-day WAL limitation could serve to limit the Fund's ability to invest in Adjustable Rate Securities.
3

Because the Fund refers to government investments in its name, the SEC requires the Fund to notify shareholders at least 60 days in advance of any change in its investment policies that would enable the Fund to invest less than 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in government investments. If AGCR were not reorganizing in GOTMF, it is expected that AGCR would consider implementing a non-fundamental investment policy pursuant to which it would invest its assets so that at least 99.5% of its total assets would be invested in government securities.
TEMPORARY CASH POSITIONS
The Fund may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategies by holding cash. It may do this in response to unusual circumstances, such as: adverse market, economic or other conditions (for example, during periods when there is a shortage of appropriate securities); to maintain liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions; or to accommodate cash inflows. Such temporary cash positions could affect the Fund's investment returns and/or the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
GOTMF
The investment objective of GOTMF is to provide current income consistent with stability of principal and liquidity.
There is no assurance that either Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Fund invests in a portfolio of U.S. Treasury and government securities maturing in 397 days or less that pay interest exempt from state personal income tax. Accordingly, except for temporary defensive purposes, the Fund will not engage in repurchase agreement transactions, or invest in government securities that pay interest subject to state personal income tax, including those issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, or the Government National Mortgage Association. The Fund may also hold cash.
The Fund's Adviser targets a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity (DWAM) range based upon its interest rate outlook. The Adviser formulates its interest rate outlook by analyzing a variety of factors, such as:
current U.S. economic activity and the economic outlook;
current short-term interest rates;
the Federal Reserve Board's policies regarding short-term interest rates; and
the potential effects of foreign economic activity on U.S. short-term interest rates.
The Adviser generally shortens the portfolio's DWAM when it expects interest rates to rise and extends the DWAM
when it expects interest rates to fall. This strategy seeks to enhance the returns from favorable interest rate changes and
reduce the effect of unfavorable changes. The Adviser selects securities used to shorten or extend the portfolio's DWAM by comparing the returns currently offered by different investments to their historical and expected returns.
The Fund will: (1) maintain a DWAM of 60 days or less; and (2) maintain a weighted average life (WAL) of 120 days or less. Certain of the securities in which the Fund invests may pay interest at a rate that is periodically adjusted (“Adjustable Rate Securities”). For purposes of calculating DWAM, the maturity of an Adjustable Rate Security generally will be the period remaining until its next interest rate adjustment. For purposes of calculating WAL, the maturity of an Adjustable Rate Security will be its stated final maturity, without regard to interest rate adjustments; accordingly, the 120-day WAL limitation could serve to limit the Fund's ability to invest in Adjustable Rate Securities.
Effective September 30, 2015, the Fund will invest its assets so that at least 99.5% of its total assets are invested in government securities.
GOTMF will operate as a “government money market fund,” as such term is defined in or interpreted under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. “Government money market funds” are required to invest at least 99.5% of their total assets in (i) cash, (ii) securities issued or guaranteed by the United States or certain U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities and/or (iii) repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully, and are exempt from requirements that permit money market funds to impose a liquidity fee and/or temporary redemption gates.
GOTMF has not elected to be subject to the liquidity fees and gates requirement at this time.
The Fund will notify shareholders at least 60 days in advance of any change in its investment policy that would enable the Fund to invest, under normal circumstances, less than 99.5% of its total assets in government investments.
4

TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS
The Fund may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategies by holding cash or repurchase agreements collateralized by government securities with The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“NY Fed”). It may do this in response to unusual circumstances, such as: adverse market, economic or other conditions (for example, during periods when there is a shortage of appropriate securities); to maintain liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions; or to accommodate cash inflows. Such temporary cash positions could affect the Fund's investment returns and/or the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective. In order to invest in repurchase agreements with the NY Fed, the Fund may engage in periodic “test” trading in order to assess operational abilities at times when the Fund would otherwise not enter into such a position. These exercises may vary in size and frequency. Repurchase agreements with the NY Fed are considered “government securities” for purposes of Rule 2a-7 and the Fund considers the NY Fed to be an instrumentality of the U.S. government. The use of repurchase agreements will produce taxable income to shareholders.
COMPARISON OF RISKS
Because each Fund has similar investment objectives and policies, their principal risks will be similar. All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in either Fund.
Interest Rate Risk. Prices of fixed-income securities generally fall when interest rates rise. Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of fixed-income securities with longer maturities.
Issuer Credit Risk. It is possible that interest or principal on securities will not be paid when due. Money market funds try to minimize this risk by purchasing higher-quality securities.
Call Risk. The Fund's performance may be adversely affected by the possibility that an issuer of a security held by the Fund may redeem the security prior to maturity at a price below its current market value.
Risk Associated with Investing Share Purchase Proceeds. On days during which there are net purchases of Fund Shares, the Fund must invest the proceeds at prevailing market yields or hold cash. If the Fund holds cash, or if the yield of the securities purchased is less than that of the securities already in the portfolio, the Fund's yield will likely decrease. Conversely, net purchases on days on which short-term yields rise will likely cause the Fund's yield to increase. In the event of significant changes in short-term yields or significant net purchases, the Fund retains the discretion to close to new investments. However, the Fund is not required to close, and no assurance can be given that this will be done in any given circumstance.
Risk Associated with use of Amortized Cost. In the unlikely event that the Fund's Board of Trustees (“Board”) were to determine, pursuant to Rule 2a-7, that the extent of the deviation between the Fund's amortized cost per Share and its market-based NAV per Share may result in material dilution or other unfair results to shareholders, the Board will cause the Fund to take such action as it deems appropriate to eliminate or reduce to the extent practicable such dilution or unfair results.
Additional Factors Affecting Yield. There is no guarantee that the Fund will provide a certain level of income or that any such income will exceed the rate of inflation. Further, the Fund's yield will vary.
Risk Related to the Economy. The value of the Fund's portfolio may decline in tandem with a drop in one or more markets in which the Fund invests. Economic, political and financial conditions may, from time to time, cause the Fund to experience volatility, illiquidity, shareholder redemptions, or other potentially adverse effects.
Regulatory Reform Risk. Changes in the laws and regulations applicable to and governing money market funds, such as Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), can impact the Fund. On July 23, 2014, the SEC voted to amend Rule 2a-7 and other rules and forms related to money market funds. These amendments may affect the manner in which the Fund is structured and operated, as well as the Fund's expenses and returns. Compliance with many of these amendments will be required on October 14, 2016, two years after the effective date for the amendments. U.S. government money market funds are exempt from a number of the changes required by these amendments. As a result of these amendments, the Fund may be required to take certain steps that impact the Fund and the precise nature of such impact has not yet been determined.
Technology Risk. The Adviser uses various technologies in managing the Fund, consistent with its investment objective and strategy described in this Prospectus. For example, proprietary and third-party data and systems are utilized to support decision making for the Fund. Data imprecision, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies and similar circumstances may impair the performance of these systems, which may negatively affect Fund performance.

COMPARISON OF INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
Each Fund has fundamental investment limitations which cannot be changed without shareholder approval. Each Fund also has non-fundamental investment limitations which may be changed by the relevant Fund's board without shareholder approval.
The fundamental investment limitations of the Funds are substantially the same; however, there are differences in the fundamental limitations regarding Lending Cash or Securities, and GOTMF has Pledging Assets as a non-fundamental investment limitation.
The following chart compares the fundamental and non-fundamental limitations of AGCR and GOTMF.
AGCR GOTMF
Diversification (Fundamental)

Investing in Real Estate (Fundamental)
The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate, provided that this restriction does not prevent the Fund from investing in issuers which invest, deal or otherwise engage in transactions in real estate or interests therein, or investing in securities that are secured by real estate or interests therein. The Fund may exercise its rights under agreements relating to such securities, including the right to enforce security interests and to hold real estate acquired by reason of such enforcement until that real estate can be liquidated in an orderly manner.

Pledging Assets (Non-Fundamental)
The Fund will not mortgage, pledge or hypothecate any of its assets, provided that this shall not apply to the transfer of securities in connection with any permissible borrowing or to collateral arrangements in connection with permissible activities.
Investing in Illiquid Securities (Non-Fundamental)
The Fund will not acquire securities that cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the value ascribed to them by the Fund if, immediately after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 5% of its total assets in such securities.

Names Rule Policy (Non-Fundamental)
Because the Fund refers to government investments in its name, the SEC requires the Fund to notify shareholders at least 60 days in advance of any change in its investment policies that would enable the Fund to normally invest less than 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in government investments.
Additional Non-Fundamental Policy (Non-Fundamental)
The Fund will notify shareholders at least 60 days in advance of any change in its investment policy that would enable the Fund to invest, under normal circumstances, less than 99.5% of its total assets in government securities.
PROCEDURES FOR PURCHASING, REDEEMING AND EXCHANGING SHARES
The procedures for purchasing, redeeming and exchanging shares of AGCR are substantially similar to those for purchasing, redeeming and exchanging shares of GOTMF. See the section entitled “Purchase, Redemption and Exchange Procedures” below for more information regarding these procedures.
COMPARATIVE FEE TABLES
Like all mutual funds, each Fund incurs certain expenses in its operations. These expenses include management fees, as well as the cost of maintaining accounts, administration, providing shareholder liaison and distribution services and other activities.
You will not pay any sales charges in connection with the Reorganization.
Set forth in the tables below is information regarding the fees and expenses incurred by Automated Shares of GOTMF and Service Shares of AGCR, and the anticipated pro forma fees for the Automated Shares of GOTMF after giving effect to the Reorganization.

2 Federated Automated Government Cash Reserves' Adviser and certain of its affiliates on their own initiative have agreed to waive certain amounts of their respective fees and/or reimburse expenses. Total annual fund operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses and proxy-related expenses paid by the Fund, if any) paid by the Fund's SS class (after the voluntary waivers and/or reimbursements) will not exceed 0.59% (the “Fee Limit”) up to but not including the later of (the “Termination Date”): (a) July 1, 2016; 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 Fund's Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”).

Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the indicated funds with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Funds' shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that each Fund's shares operating expenses are 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:
  1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years

Updated performance information for the Fund is available under the “Products” section at FederatedInvestors.com or by calling 1-800-341-7400.
The Fund's SS class total return for the six-month period from January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015, was 0.01%
Within the periods shown in the bar chart, the Fund's SS class highest quarterly return was 1.18% (quarter ended September 30, 2006). Its lowest quarterly return was 0.00% (quarter ended March 31, 2014).

Risk/Return Bar Chart
The total returns shown below are for an existing class of shares, Institutional Shares (IS), offered by Federated Government Obligations Tax-Managed Fund. The total returns for the IS class are disclosed below because the AS Shares did not commence operations until on or about July 20, 2015. The total returns for the AS class would have been substantially similar to the annual returns for the IS class over the same period because the classes are invested in the same portfolio of securities and would differ only to the extent the two classes do not have the same expenses. It is anticipated that the expenses of the AS class will be higher than those of the IS class, accordingly, the performance of the AS class is anticipated to be lower than the performance of the IS class.

INVESTMENT ADVISER
The Board governs the Funds. The Board selects and oversees the Adviser, Federated Investment Management Company. The Adviser manages the Funds' assets, including buying and selling portfolio securities. Federated Advisory Services Company (FASC), an affiliate of the Adviser, provides certain support services to the Adviser. The fee for these services is paid by the Adviser and not by the Funds. The address of the Adviser and FASC is Federated Investors Tower, 1001 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3779.
The Adviser and other subsidiaries of Federated advise approximately 135 equity, fixed-income and money market mutual funds as well as a variety of other pooled investment vehicles, private investment companies and customized separately managed accounts (including non-U.S./offshore funds) which totaled approximately $362.9 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2014. Federated was established in 1955 and is one of the largest investment managers in the United States with approximately 1,400 employees. Federated provides investment products to approximately 7,700 investment professionals and institutions.

The Adviser advises approximately 98 fixed-income and money market mutual funds (including sub-advised funds) and private investment companies, which totaled approximately $244.0 billion in assets as of December 31, 2014.
ADVISORY FEES, SERVICE FEES, SHAREHOLDER FEES AND OTHER EXPENSES
AGCR and GOTMF pay certain affiliated and non-affiliated service providers fees as described below. The Funds and their affiliated service providers may also pay fees as described below to certain affiliates or to financial intermediaries (such as broker-dealers, banks, investment advisers or third-party administrators) whose customers are shareholders of the Funds. For additional information regarding the fees paid by the Funds, please see the section entitled “Summary—Comparative Fee Tables” in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.
Investment Advisory Fees
GOTMF's investment advisory contract provides for payment to the Adviser of an annual investment advisory fee of 0.20% of GOTMF's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily waive a portion of its fee or reimburse GOTMF for certain operating expenses. The Adviser and its affiliates have also agreed to certain “Fee Limits” as described in the footnote to the “Fees and Example” tables found in the “Comparative Fee Tables” section of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement. A discussion of the Board's review of each Fund's investment advisory contract is available in each Fund's shareholder reports as they are produced.
AGCR's investment advisory contract provides for payment to the Adviser of an annual investment advisory fee of 0.50% of AGCR's average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily waive a portion of its fee or reimburse AGCR for certain operating expenses. The Adviser and its affiliates have also agreed to certain “Fee Limits” as described in the footnote to the “Fees and Example” tables found in the “Comparative Fee Tables” section of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement. A discussion of the Board's review of each Fund's investment advisory contract is available in each Fund's shareholder reports as they are produced.
Administrative Fees
Federated Administrative Services (FAS), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as administrator to both AGCR and GOTMF and provides certain administrative personnel and services as necessary. FAS provides these services at an annual rate based on the average aggregate daily net assets of each Fund and most of the other Federated funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. The rate charged by FAS is based on a scale that ranges from 0.150% on the first $5 billion of average aggregate daily nets assets to 0.075% on assets over $20 billion.
Each Fund and its affiliated service providers may pay fees as described below to financial intermediaries (such as broker-dealers, banks, investment advisers or third-party administrators) whose customers are shareholders of the Fund.
Service Fees
Each Fund is a party to a Shareholder Services Agreement under which it may make payments of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of AGCR and of GOTMF's SS and AS Shares to financial intermediaries, or to Federated Shareholder Services Company, a subsidiary of Federated, for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Intermediaries that receive Service Fees may include a company affiliated with management of Federated. If a financial intermediary receives Service Fees on an account it is not eligible to also receive Account Administration Fees on the same account.
Account Administration Fees
Each Fund may pay Account Administration Fees of up to 0.25% of average net assets to banks that are not registered as broker-dealers or investment advisers for providing administrative services to each Fund and its shareholders. If a financial intermediary receives Account Administration Fees on an account, it is not eligible to also receive Service Fees or Recordkeeping Fees on that same account.
Recordkeeping Fees
Each Fund may pay Recordkeeping Fees on an average net assets basis or on a per account per year basis to financial intermediaries for providing recordkeeping services to the Fund's shareholders. If a financial intermediary receives Recordkeeping Fees on an account, it is not eligible to also receive Account Administration Fees or Networking Fees on that same account.
11

Networking Fees
Each Fund may reimburse Networking Fees on a per account per year basis to financial intermediaries for providing administrative services to the Fund and shareholders on certain non-omnibus accounts. If a financial intermediary receives Networking Fees on an account, it is not eligible to also receive Recordkeeping Fees on that same account.
Additional Payments To Financial Intermediaries
The Distributor may pay, out of its own resources, amounts to certain financial intermediaries, including broker-dealers, banks, registered investment advisers, independent financial planners and retirement plan administrators, that support the sale of Shares or provide services to Fund shareholders. The amounts of these payments could be significant, and may create an incentive for the financial intermediary or its employees or associated persons to recommend or sell Shares of the Fund to you. Not all financial intermediaries receive such payments and the amount of compensation may vary by intermediary. In some cases, such payments may be made by or funded from the resources of companies affiliated with the Distributor (including the Adviser). These payments are not reflected in the fees and expenses listed in the fee table section of the Fund's Prospectus and described above because they are not paid by the Fund.
These payments are negotiated and may be based on such factors as: the number or value of Shares that the financial intermediary sells or may sell; the value of client assets invested; the level and types of services or support furnished by the financial intermediary; or the Fund's and/or other Federated funds' relationship with the financial intermediary. These payments may be in addition to payments, as described above, made by the Fund to the financial intermediary. In connection with these payments, the financial intermediary may elevate the prominence or profile of the Fund and/or other Federated funds, within the financial intermediary's organization by, for example, placement on a list of preferred or recommended funds and/or granting the Distributor preferential or enhanced opportunities to promote the funds in various ways within the financial intermediary's organization. You can ask your financial intermediary for information about any payments it receives from the Distributor or the Fund and any services provided, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
PURCHASE, REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE PROCEDURES; DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS; TAX INFORMATION; FREQUENT TRADING; PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DISCLOSURE POLICIES
The transfer agent and dividend-disbursing agent for each Fund is State Street Bank and Trust Company. Procedures for the purchase, redemption and exchange of AGCR's Service Shares are the same as those applicable to the purchase, redemption and exchange of GOTMF's Automated Shares. Please see the respective Fund prospectus for a complete description of the purchase, redemption and exchange procedures applicable to purchases, redemptions and exchanges of AGCR's Service Shares and GOTMF's Automated Shares, respectively. Set forth below is a brief description of the significant purchase, redemption and exchange procedures applicable to purchases, redemptions and exchanges of the Funds' shares.
Purchases
Both AGCR and GOTMF attempt to stabilize the NAV of their Shares at $1.00 by valuing the portfolio securities using the amortized cost method. In addition, for regulatory purposes, the Funds calculate a market-based NAV per Share on a periodic basis. The Funds cannot guarantee that their respective NAVs will always remain at $1.00 per Share. The Funds do not charge a front-end sales charge.
You can purchase, redeem or exchange Shares any day the NYSE is open (a “Regular Business Day”). You may also be able to purchase and redeem (but not exchange) Shares on certain days that the NYSE is closed on an unscheduled basis due to unforeseen or emergency circumstances, if a Fund's Board determines to allow Fund Share transactions on such days (a “Special Trading Day”). If a Fund declares a Special Trading Day, information regarding shareholder trading activities for the Special Trading Day (such as when NAV, and entitlement to that day's dividend, will be determined) will be available by calling a Fund at 1-800-341-7400 and will be posted on Federated's website at FederatedInvestors.com. The information set forth in each Fund's Prospectus regarding times relevant to NAV determination and dividend entitlement applies only to Regular Business Days. Please note that the times that might be specified for NAV determination and dividend entitlement on a Special Trading Day would not necessarily be the same as set forth in each Fund's Prospectus with respect to Regular Business Days. Although Federated will attempt to make such information available in advance of a particular Special Trading Day, given the nature of Special Trading Days, it may not be able to do so until the morning of the Special Trading Day.
12

When a Fund receives your transaction request in proper form (as described in each Prospectus), it is processed at the next determined NAV. NAV for AGCR and GOTMF is determined at 8:00 a.m., 9:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 1:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m. and as of the end of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m.) Eastern Time each day the NYSE is open. The times as of when NAV is determined, and when orders must be placed, may be changed as permitted by the SEC.
Purchases of AGCR and GOTMF may be made through a financial intermediary, directly from the Fund or through an exchange from another Federated Fund. Each Fund reserves the right to reject any request to purchase or exchange shares.
The required minimum investment amount for AGCR Service Shares is generally $25,000 for initial investments and there is no minimum subsequent investment amount. There is no minimum initial or subsequent investment amount for employer-sponsored retirement plans.
The required minimum investment amount for GOTMF Automated Shares is generally $25,000 for initial investments and there is no required subsequent investment amount. The minimum initial and subsequent amounts for Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are $250 and $100, respectively. There is no minimum initial or subsequent investment amount required for employer sponsored retirement plans.
Federated reserves the right to close AGCR Service Shares accounts if redemptions or exchanges cause the account balances to fall below $25,000. Before an account is closed, you will be notified and allowed at least 30 days to purchase additional Shares to meet the minimum.
Federated reserves the right to close GOTMF Automated Shares accounts if redemptions or exchanges cause the account balance to fall below $500,000 (or in the case of IRAs $250). Before an account is closed, you will be notified and allowed at least 30 days to purchase additional Shares to meet the minimum.
You may establish Payroll Deduction/Direct Deposit arrangements for investments into the Funds by either calling a Client Service Representative at 1-800-341-7400 or by completing the appropriate form, which is available on FederatedInvestors.com under Customer Service/Account Management Help/Change Account Information. You will receive a confirmation when this service is available.
AGCR and GOTMF offer the following purchase options: (i) Shareholders may exchange shares of a Fund for shares of any Federated fund or share class that does not have a stated sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge, except Liberty U.S. Government Money Market Trust and Class R Shares. Shareholders must meet the minimum initial investment requirement for purchasing shares and both accounts must have identical registrations; (ii) shareholders may automatically purchase additional shares on a regular basis through the Systematic Investment Program; (iii) shareholders may purchase additional shares through a depository institution that is an Automated Clearing House member.
Redemptions and Exchanges
Redemptions and exchanges of each Fund may be made through a financial intermediary or directly from the Fund by telephone or by mailing a written request. Shares of both Funds may be redeemed for cash or exchanged for shares of the same class of other Federated funds on days on which the Fund computes its NAV. Each Fund has an exchange privilege that allows shareholders to exchange shares of the Fund into shares of the same class of another Federated fund.
Shares of each Fund also may be redeemed or exchanged on a regular basis using a systematic withdrawal/exchange program. The minimum amount for all new or revised systematic redemptions or exchanges of Shares is $50 per transaction per fund. Complete the appropriate section of the New Account Form or an Account Service Options Form or contact your financial intermediary or the Fund. The account value must meet the minimum initial investment amount at the time the program is established. This program may reduce, and eventually deplete, your account. Payments should not be considered yield or income.
Distributions
GOTMF and AGCR declare any dividends daily and pay them monthly to its shareholders. Distributions are paid to all shareholders invested in the respective Fund on the record date. The record date is the date on which a shareholder must officially own Shares in order to receive the distribution.
In addition, the Funds distribute any net capital gains at least annually, and may make special distributions of ordinary income and capital gains as may be necessary to meet applicable regulatory requirements. Ordinary income and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Shares without a sales charge, unless a cash payment is elected. Distributions may also be reinvested without sales charges in shares of any class of any other Federated fund of which you are already a shareholder.
13

Tax Information
Each Fund sends an IRS Form 1099 and an annual statement of account activity to assist in completing federal, state and local tax returns. Each Fund's distributions of dividends and capital gains are taxable whether paid in cash or reinvested in the applicable Fund. Dividends are taxable at different rates depending on the source of dividend income. Distributions of net short-term capital gains are taxable as ordinary income. Distributions of net long-term capital gains are taxable as long-term capital gains regardless of how long you have owned your shares of the applicable Fund. Fund distributions are expected to be primarily dividends. Redemptions and exchanges are taxable sales.
Frequent Trading
Given the short-term nature of the Fund's investments and its use of the amortized cost method for calculating the NAV of Fund Shares, the Fund does not anticipate that in the normal case frequent or short-term trading into and out of the Fund will have significant adverse consequences for the Fund and its shareholders. For this reason and because the Fund is intended to be used as a liquid short-term investment, the Fund's Board has not adopted policies or procedures to monitor or discourage frequent or short-term trading of the Fund's Shares. Regardless of their frequency or short-term nature, purchases and redemptions of Fund Shares can have adverse effects on the management of the Fund's portfolio and its performance.
Other funds in the Federated family of funds may impose monitoring policies. Under normal market conditions, such monitoring policies are designed to protect the funds being monitored and their shareholders, and the operation of such policies and shareholder investments under such monitoring are not expected to have a materially adverse impact on the Federated funds or their shareholders.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION
DESCRIPTION OF THE AGREEMENT AND THE PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
The Plan provides for the Reorganization to occur on the Closing Date, which is expected to be on or about December 18, 2015. On the Closing Date, all, or substantially all, of the assets of AGCR (except for deferred or prepaid expenses, amounts reserved for payment of AGCR's liabilities, and any additional cash received by AGCR after the Closing Date in excess of accrued liabilities recorded on the AGCR's books on or before the Closing Date that is retained by AGCR's Adviser) of AGCR will be transferred to GOTMF. In exchange for the transfer of these assets, GOTMF will simultaneously issue to AGCR a number of full and fractional Automated Shares of GOTMF equal in value to the Shares of AGCR calculated as of 4:00 p.m. on the Closing Date.
The value of AGCR's assets to be acquired by GOTMF shall be the value of such assets at the closing on the Closing Date of the Reorganization, after the declaration and payment of any dividends and/or other distributions on that date, using available market quotations (or an appropriate substitute that reflects current market conditions) in accordance with Rule 2a-7(c)7(ii)(A)(1) and in accordance with the valuation procedures established under such rule by the Board of Trustees of GOTMF or such other valuation procedures as shall be mutually agreed upon by each Fund (and approved by the Board of Trustees of GOTMF and AGCR).
AGCR will discharge all of its liabilities and obligations prior to consummation of the Reorganization. Following the transfer of its assets in exchange for Automated Shares of GOTMF, AGCR will distribute Shares of GOTMF pro rata to AGCR shareholders of record of Shares in complete liquidation of AGCR. Shareholders of AGCR owning shares on the Closing Date of the Reorganization will receive that number of Shares of GOTMF which have the same aggregate value as the shareholder had in AGCR immediately before the Reorganization. This distribution will be accomplished by the establishment of accounts in the names of AGCR's shareholders on the share records of GOTMF's transfer agent. GOTMF does not issue share certificates to shareholders. Following the consummation of the Reorganization, AGCR will then be dissolved.
The transfer of shareholder accounts from AGCR to GOTMF will occur automatically. It is not necessary for AGCR shareholders to take any action to effect the transfer. Please do not attempt to make the transfer yourself. If you do so, you may disrupt the management of the Funds' portfolios.
14

The Plan contains customary representations, warranties and conditions. The Plan provides that the consummation of the Reorganization is conditioned upon, among other things: (i) approval of the Reorganization by AGCR's shareholders; and (ii) the receipt by AGCR and GOTMF of an opinion to the effect that the Reorganization will be tax-free to AGCR, its shareholders and GOTMF. The Plan may be terminated if, before the Closing Date, any of the required conditions have not been met, the representations and warranties are not true, or the Board of Trustees of AGCR and GOTMF determines that the Reorganization is not in the best interests of the shareholders of AGCR or GOTMF, respectively.
Background and Board Considerations Relating to the Reorganization
The Board considered the potential benefits and costs of the Reorganization to AGCR and GOTMF and their respective shareholders. In this regard, the Board reviewed detailed information comparing each Fund, as described herein, and as required by Rule 17a-8 under the 1940 Act. In determining to recommend that participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of AGCR and its shareholders, and in approving the Plan, the Board considered a number of factors, including the following:
GOTMF has gross advisory fees lower than those of AGCR.
The Adviser believes GOTMF's performance is generally competitive with that of AGCR, and there is no anticipated decline in services to AGCR shareholders as a result of the Reorganization. The range and quality of the services that AGCR shareholders will receive as shareholders of GOTMF will be comparable to the range and quality of services that they currently receive both Funds are managed by the Adviser.
The Funds will pay the direct and indirect expenses of the Reorganization (consisting primarily of legal and accounting fees but excluding brokerage fees), except that AGCR is being asked to pay the direct proxy expenses (e.g., mailing, processing, tabulation, printing and solicitation costs and expenses) associated with the Reorganization estimated at approximately $24,798 provided that GOTMF will pay registration fees with respect to securities issued pursuant to the Reorganization on an incurred basis.
Given the large waiver position of AGCR, and the fact that AGCR is being operated at its applicable voluntary expense cap, Federated will indirectly pay some or all of the expenses that Federated is asking AGCR to pay.
There will be no dilution to shareholders in the transaction, because each AGCR shareholder will become the owner of shares of GOTMF having a total net asset value equal to the total net asset value of his or her holdings in AGCR on the date of the Reorganization.
In sum, AGCR shareholders will be receiving shares in a competitive and viable fund with share class expense ratios ultimately below what the expense ratios of AGCR's share classes would be if the Adviser and its affiliates were to eliminate or substantially reduce the current voluntary waivers on AGCR's share classes. The AGCR shareholders also will be receiving shares of GOTMF in a reorganization transaction that is intended to be tax-free and provide a more preferable tax result for shareholders as compared to a liquidation of AGCR.
GOTMF shareholders will benefit from the increase in its assets (and thus greater purchasing power in the marketplace) resulting from the Reorganization and the pro forma total expenses of GOTMF are expected to decrease slightly after the Reorganization.
The Adviser and its affiliates will benefit from the Reorganization as a result of the dissolution of AGCR (which would eliminate the need to continue to “subsidize” AGCR, as well as certain expenses the Adviser incurs in managing two portfolios) and, following the proposed reorganization, the Adviser will retain AGCR's assets under its management. Except for this benefit, the Adviser and its affiliates would not receive a monetary benefit from the Reorganization. In considering this benefit to the Adviser, the Adviser believes consideration should be given to the fact that, instead of reorganizing AGCR in the Reorganization, which the Adviser believes will be beneficial to AGCR shareholders, the Adviser and its affiliates could either (A) reduce their voluntary waivers on AGCR's share classes or (B) propose to liquidate AGCR.
Given the above factors, the Adviser believes that the bulk of the benefits of the Reorganization favor AGCR, GOTMF, and their respective shareholders, as opposed to the Adviser and its affiliates, and that, in this instance, the proposed allocation of expenses is reasonable and appropriate, and does not result in unfair dilution or AGCR and GOTMF bearing the cost of a transaction where a greater benefit will accrue to another person (such as the Adviser and its affiliates).
15

Cost of the Reorganization
AGCR will pay the direct proxy expenses associated with the Reorganization, which are estimated to be approximately $24,798; provided that GOTMF will pay registration fees with respect to securities issued pursuant to the Reorganization, on an as-incurred basis. Given the waiver positions of AGCR and GOTMF, and the fact that AGCR and GOTMF are being operated at the applicable voluntary expense caps, the Adviser expects that the Adviser and its affiliates will indirectly pay some or all of the expenses that AGCR and GOTMF are being asked to bear.
The foregoing brief summary of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by the terms and provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex A and incorporated herein by reference.
DESCRIPTION OF GOTMF's SHARE CLASSES AND CAPITALIZATION
The Automated Shares of GOTMF to be issued to the shareholders of AGCR's Service Shares under the Plan will be fully paid and non-assessable when issued, transferable without restriction and will have no preemptive or conversion rights. Please see the Prospectus of GOTMF Automated Shares for additional information about the Automated Shares of GOTMF.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
As a condition to the Reorganization, each Fund will receive an opinion of counsel to the effect that, on the basis of the existing provisions of the Code, current administrative rules and court decisions, for federal income tax purposes:
the Reorganization as set forth in the Plan will constitute a tax-free reorganization under section 368(a) of the Code, and AGCR and GOTMF each will be a “party to a reorganization” within the meaning of section 368(b) of the Code;
no gain or loss will be recognized by GOTMF upon its receipt of AGCR's assets in exchange for Automated Shares of GOTMF;
no gain or loss will be recognized by AGCR upon transfer of its assets to GOTMF solely in exchange for the Automated Shares of GOTMF or upon the distribution of GOTMF Automated Shares to AGCR's shareholders in exchange for their AGCR Service Shares;
no gain or loss will be recognized by shareholders of AGCR upon exchange of their AGCR Service Shares for GOTMF Automated Shares;
the tax basis of the assets of AGCR in the hands of GOTMF will be the same as the tax basis of such assets to AGCR immediately prior to the Reorganization;
the tax basis of GOTMF Automated Shares received by each shareholder of AGCR pursuant to the Reorganization will be the same as the tax basis of the Shares of AGCR held by such shareholder immediately prior to the Reorganization;
the holding period of GOTMF's Automated Shares received by each shareholder of AGCR will include the period during which AGCR's Service Shares exchanged therefore were held by such shareholder, provided the Shares of AGCR were held as capital assets on the date of the Reorganization; and
the holding period of the assets of AGCR in the hands of GOTMF will include the period during which those assets were held by AGCR.
16

The opinion provided in connection with the Reorganization shall be based on customary assumptions and such representations as tax counsel may reasonably request and each Fund will cooperate to make and certify the accuracy of such representations. The opinion may state that no opinion is expressed as to the effect of the Reorganization on AGCR, GOTMF or any shareholder of AGCR with respect to any asset as to which unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized for federal income tax purposes at the end of a taxable year (or on the termination or transfer thereof) under a mark-to-market system of accounting. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the requirement that the above-described opinion be provided in connection with the Reorganization cannot be waived by either Fund.
Opinions of counsel are not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. If the Reorganization is consummated but does not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code, a shareholder of AGCR would recognize a taxable gain or loss to the extent that there is a difference between his or her tax basis in his or her AGCR shares and the fair market value of GOTMF Automated Shares received in exchange therefore.
AGCR may dispose of portfolio securities in the ordinary course of business, prior to the Reorganization (which may result in the realization of capital gains). Before the Reorganization, AGCR will distribute any undistributed income and net realized capital gains to shareholders. Any such distributions will be taxable to shareholders.
See the discussion entitled “Summary—Tax Consequences” in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement for further information regarding the tax consequences of the Reorganization. Shareholders of AGCR should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of the Reorganization in light of their individual circumstances. In addition, because the foregoing discussion only relates to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, those shareholders also should consult their tax advisors about state and local tax consequences, if any, of the Reorganization.

ABOUT THE PROXY SOLICITATION AND THE SPECIAL MEETING
Proxies are being solicited by the Board of AGCR. The proxies will be voted at the special meeting of shareholders of AGCR to be held at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on December 8, 2015, at 4000 Ericsson Drive, Warrendale, PA 15086-7561 (such special meeting and any adjournment or postponement hereof are referred to as the “Special Meeting”). Proxy materials including this Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders and the form of proxy are available online at the website listed on your proxy card(s).
The cost of the solicitation, including the printing and mailing of proxy materials, will be borne by AGCR or its affiliates. In addition to solicitations through the mail, proxies may be solicited by officers, employees and agents of the Adviser or its affiliates, or, if necessary, the communications firm Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), retained for this purpose, at an anticipated cost of approximately $24,798. Such solicitations may be by telephone, through the Internet or otherwise. Any telephonic solicitations will follow procedures designed to ensure accuracy and prevent fraud, including requiring identifying shareholder information, recording the shareholder's instructions and confirming to the shareholders after the fact. Shareholders who communicate proxies by telephone or by other electronic means have the same power and authority to issue, revoke, or otherwise change their voting instructions as shareholders submitting proxies in written form. The Adviser may reimburse custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the reasonable costs incurred by them in connection with forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons.
The purpose of the Special Meeting is set forth in the accompanying Notice. The Board knows of no business other than that mentioned in the Notice that will be presented for consideration at the Special Meeting. Should other business properly be brought before the Special Meeting, proxies will be voted in accordance with the best judgment of the persons named as proxies. This Prospectus/Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card are expected to be mailed on or about October 29, 2015, to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 19, 2015 (the “Record Date”).

GOTMF's Annual Report, which includes audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2015, was previously mailed to shareholders of GOTMF. AGCR and GOTMF will promptly provide, without charge and upon request, to each person to whom this Prospectus/Proxy Statement is delivered a copy of their Annual Report, which may be requested by writing to the Funds' principal executive officers or by calling the Fund. The principal executive office of each Fund is located at 4000 Ericsson Drive, Warrendale, PA 15086-7561. This document, as well as additional information about the Funds (including portfolio holdings, performance, and distributions), is also available on the website for each Fund. The website for each Fund is www.FederatedInvestors.com. The toll-free telephone number for both Funds is 1-800-341-7400. You may obtain directions on how to attend the special meeting of shareholders by calling 1-800-341-7400.
PROXIES, QUORUM AND VOTING AT THE SPECIAL MEETING
Only shareholders of record on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Each Share of AGCR is entitled to one vote. Fractional shares are entitled to proportionate shares of one vote. The votes of shareholders of GOTMF are not being solicited since their approval is not required in order to effect the Reorganization.
Any person giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time prior to its exercise by executing a superseding proxy or by submitting a written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Trust. In addition, although mere attendance at the Special Meeting will not revoke a proxy, a shareholder present at the Special Meeting may withdraw his or her proxy by voting in person. All properly executed and unrevoked proxies received in time for the Special Meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained in the proxies. If no instruction is given on the submitted proxy, the persons named as proxies will vote the shares represented thereby in favor of approval of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.
In order to hold the Special Meeting, a “quorum” of shareholders of AGCR must be present. Holders of one-fourth of the total number of shares entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, shall be required to constitute a quorum for the purpose of voting on the proposal to approve the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and for the purpose of transacting any other business which may come before the meeting. Approval of the Reorganization requires the affirmative vote of “a majority of the outstanding securities” as defined in the 1940 Act. This vote requires the lesser of: (a) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of AGCR; or (b) 67% or more of the voting securities of AGCR present at the Special Meeting if the shareholders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy;
Shares represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted in accordance with the instructions on the proxy, or, if no instructions are provided, the shares will be voted in FAVOR of the approval of the Reorganization. For purposes of determining a quorum for transacting business at the Special Meeting, abstentions and broker “non-votes” (that is, proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power) will be treated as shares that are present but which have not been voted. For this reason, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a “no” vote for the purposes of obtaining the requisite approval of the proposal.
If a quorum is not present, the persons named as proxies may vote those proxies that have been received to adjourn the Special Meeting from time to time to be held at the same place without further notice than by announcement to be given at the special meeting until a quorum shall be present. In the event that a quorum is present but sufficient votes in favor of the proposal have not been received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting to permit further solicitations of proxies with respect to the proposal. If a quorum is achieved and a majority of shareholders vote against the proposal, the Reorganization will not occur, at this time, and the Board will consider alternatives such as liquidating AGCR. All such adjournments will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the session of the Special Meeting to be adjourned. The persons named as proxies will vote AGAINST an adjournment those proxies that they are required to vote against the proposal, and will vote in FAVOR of such an adjournment all other proxies that they are authorized to vote. A shareholder vote may be taken on the proposal in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement prior to any such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received for approval.
Any such vote in FAVOR or AGAINST the proposal will also authorize the persons named as proxies to vote accordingly in FAVOR or AGAINST any such adjournment of the Special Meeting.

ANNEX A AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the “Agreement”) is made as of this _____day ______, by and between Federated Government Obligations Tax-Managed Fund, a Massachusetts business trust, with its principal place of business at 4000 Ericsson Drive, Warrendale, PA 15086-7561 (the “Acquiring Fund”), and Federated Automated Government Cash Reserves, a Massachusetts business trust, with its principal place of business at 4000 Ericsson Drive, Warrendale, PA 15086-7561 (“Acquired Fund” and, collectively with the Acquiring Fund, the “Funds”).
This Agreement is intended to be, and is adopted as, a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The reorganization will consist of: (i) the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Acquired Fund (which offers Service Shares) (the “Acquired Fund Shares”) in exchange solely for shares (Automated Shares), no par value per share, of the Acquiring Fund (“Acquiring Fund Shares”); (ii) the distribution of the Acquiring Fund Shares (Automated Shares, to the holders of the outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund (Service Shares), and (iii) the liquidation and dissolution of the Acquired Fund as provided herein, all upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Reorganization”).
WHEREAS, the Acquiring Fund and Acquired Fund are open-end, registered management investment companies, and the Acquired Fund owns securities that generally are assets of the character in which the Acquiring Fund is permitted to invest;
WHEREAS, the Funds are authorized to issue their shares of beneficial interests;
WHEREAS, the Trustees of the Acquired Fund Registrant have determined that the Reorganization, with respect to the Acquiring Fund, is in the best interests of the Acquiring Fund and that the interests of the existing shareholders of the Acquiring Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization;
WHEREAS, the Trustees of the Acquiring Fund Registrant have determined that the Reorganization, with respect to the Acquired Fund, is in the best interests of the Acquired Fund and that the interests of the existing shareholders of the Acquired Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
TRANSFER OF ASSETS OF THE ACQUIRED FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR ACQUIRING FUND
SHARES AND LIQUIDATION AND DISSOLUTION OF THE ACQUIRED FUND
1.1 THE EXCHANGE. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, the Acquired Fund agrees to transfer all or substantially all of its assets, as set forth in paragraph 1.2, to the Acquiring Fund. In exchange, the Acquiring Fund agrees to deliver to the Acquired Fund the number of full and fractional shares of each class of Acquiring Fund Shares determined by multiplying (a) the outstanding shares of each class of the Acquired Fund Shares by (b) the ratio computed by dividing (x) the net asset value per share of such class of the Acquired Fund Shares by (y) the net asset value per share of the corresponding class of Acquiring Fund Shares computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 2.2. Holders of the Acquired Fund Shares will receive the corresponding class of Acquiring Fund Shares in exchange for their Acquired Fund Shares. Such transactions shall take place at the closing on the Closing Date provided for in paragraph 3.1.
1.2 ASSETS TO BE ACQUIRED. The assets of the Acquired Fund to be acquired by the Acquiring Fund shall consist of property having a value equal to the total net assets of the Acquired Fund, including, without limitation, cash, securities, commodities, interests in futures and dividends or interest receivable, owned by the Acquired Fund.

The Acquired Fund is to satisfy its liabilities prior to the Closing Date. Accordingly, the Acquired Fund may set aside cash to satisfy its liabilities, which (along with deferred or prepaid expenses) would not be transferred to the Acquiring Fund. Following the Closing Date, if additional cash in excess of accrued expenses recorded on the Acquired Fund's books on or before the Closing Date are received by or returned to the Acquired Fund, the Acquired Fund's Adviser and its affiliates may retain such excess funds in accordance with applicable procedures; any amounts received or returned that are not retained by the Acquired Fund's Adviser would be remitted to the Acquiring Fund.

Such distribution will be accomplished by the transfer of Acquiring Fund Shares credited to the account of the Acquired Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the name of the Acquired Fund Shareholders, and representing the respective pro rata number of Acquiring Fund Shares due such shareholders. All issued and outstanding Acquired Fund Shares will simultaneously be canceled on the books of the Acquired Fund. The Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing Acquiring Fund Shares in connection with such transfer. After the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund shall not conduct any business except in connection with its dissolution and termination.
1.5 OWNERSHIP OF SHARES. Ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares will be shown on the books of the Acquiring Fund's transfer agent. Acquiring Fund Shares will be issued simultaneously to the Acquired Fund, in an amount equal in value to the aggregate net asset value of the Acquired Fund Shares, to be distributed to Acquired Fund Shareholders.
1.6 TRANSFER TAXES. Any transfer taxes payable upon the issuance of Acquiring Fund Shares in a name other than the registered holder of the Acquired Fund Shares on the books of the Acquired Fund as of that time shall, as a condition of such issuance and transfer, be paid by the person to whom such Acquiring Fund Shares are to be issued and transferred.
1.7 REPORTING RESPONSIBILITY. Any reporting responsibility of the Acquired Fund is and shall remain the responsibility of the Acquired Fund.
1.8 TERMINATION. The Acquired Fund shall be dissolved and terminated promptly following the Closing Date and the making of all distributions pursuant to paragraph 1.4.
1.9 BOOKS AND RECORDS. All books and records of the Acquired Fund, including all books and records required to be maintained under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder, shall be available to the Acquiring Fund from and after the Closing Date and shall be turned over to the Acquiring Fund as soon as practicable following the Closing Date.

A-9

Such opinion shall be based on customary assumptions and such representations as K&L Gates may reasonably request, and the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund will cooperate to make and certify the accuracy of such representations. The foregoing opinion may state that no opinion is expressed as to the effect of the Reorganization on the Acquiring Fund, the Acquired Fund or any Acquired Fund Shareholder with respect to any asset as to which unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized for federal income tax purposes at the end of a taxable year (or on the termination or transfer thereof) under a mark-to-market system of accounting. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Acquiring Fund nor the Acquired Fund may waive the conditions set forth in this paragraph 8.5.
ARTICLE IX
EXPENSES
The Acquired Fund will pay the following direct proxy expenses relating to its participation in the Reorganization: (a) cost of processing, printing and mailing the Proxy Materials and (b) the cost of soliciting and tabulating the vote of its shareholders in connection with the special meeting of shareholders. In addition, to the extent that any transition of portfolio securities is required in connection with the Reorganization, the Funds may incur transaction expenses associated with the sale and purchase of portfolio securities. The Funds will pay all remaining direct and indirect expenses associated with the Acquired Fund's and Acquiring Fund's participation in the Reorganization. Such other expenses include, without limitation: (a) expenses associated with the preparation and filing of the Proxy Materials; (b) accounting fees; (c) legal fees; and (d) other related administrative or operational costs.

10.2 Except as specified in the next sentence set forth in this paragraph 10.2, the representations, warranties, and covenants contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, shall not survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder.

ARTICLE XI
TERMINATION

This Agreement may be terminated by the mutual agreement of the Acquiring Fund Registrant and the Acquired Fund Registrant. In addition, either the Acquiring Fund Registrant or the Acquired Fund Registrant may at its option terminate this Agreement at or before the Closing Date due to:
a breach by the other of any representation, warranty, or agreement contained herein to be performed at or before the Closing Date, if not cured within 30 days;
a condition herein expressed to be precedent to the obligations of the terminating party that has not been met and it reasonably appears that it will not or cannot be met; or
a determination by a party's Board, as appropriate, that the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein is not in the best interest of the Acquired Fund Registrant or the Acquiring Fund Registrant, respectively, and notice given to the other party hereto.
