(formerly, Smith Barney Funds)

SALOMON BROTHERS FUNDS

125 Broad Street

New York, New York 10004

Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held December 20, 2006

 

November 13, 2006

 

Dear Shareholder:

 

You are being asked to vote on one or more proposed transactions related to the legacy Citigroup Asset Management funds you own. These funds consist of the Legg Mason Partners funds (formerly known as Smith Barney funds), the Salomon Brothers funds and the CitiFunds.

 

A chart summarizing the proposals to reorganize the funds is included on the reverse side of this letter, and detailed information about each of the proposals is contained in the enclosed materials.

 

The Board of Trustees/Directors of each of the funds identified as “your fund” on the reverse side of this letter has called a special meeting of shareholders (“Meeting”) for your fund to be held on December 20, 2006, at the offices of Bingham McCutchen LLP, 399 Park Avenue, 19th floor, New York, New York 10022 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time in order to vote on the proposed transaction regarding your fund(s). Each transaction involves a proposal to reorganize a fund into the corresponding surviving fund (a “Reorganization”). The attached Proxy Statement/Prospectus only asks for your approval of the proposed Reorganization for your fund(s). After careful consideration, the Board(s) of the respective fund(s) recommends that you vote “FOR” each proposed Reorganization.

 

The Reorganizations are part of a larger set of initiatives that Legg Mason has recently undertaken following its acquisition of Citigroup Asset Management in 2005. These initiatives are designed to integrate and streamline many of the company’s mutual fund offerings, including the legacy Citigroup Asset Management funds, in an effort to focus on those funds that Legg Mason believes offer the best prospects for long-term viability, attractive long-term performance and greater asset growth over time. Asset growth over time offers the potential for greater economies of scale, lower expenses and greater portfolio management efficiency. The other initiatives, which are not included in the attached materials, include proposals to reorganize other funds as well as proposed changes in the investment strategies, policies and restrictions of certain funds and changes to the funds’ fee structures and forms of organization. Certain of these initiatives also will require shareholder approval. The Boards of the affected funds have recently approved these initiatives and if the initiatives apply to your fund, they have been presented for your consideration and approval in separate sets of proxy materials that were sent to you earlier in the fall. Legg Mason believes that these initiatives also will create a stronger and more cohesive family of funds.

 

Your vote is very important to us regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting in person, please read the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and cast your vote promptly. To vote, simply complete, sign and return the Proxy Card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope or follow the instructions on the proxy card for voting by touch-tone telephone or on the internet.

 

It is important that your vote be received no later than the time of the Meeting.

 

Sincerely,

IMPORTANT NEWS FOR SHAREHOLDERS

 


 

The enclosed combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus describes a proposal to reorganize your fund into a compatible fund. While we encourage you to read the full text of the enclosed combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus, here is a brief overview of the proposed fund reorganizations. The information in this overview applies generally to all of the funds, except where more specific information about a fund is included. Please refer to the more complete information contained elsewhere in the combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus about the reorganizations.

 


 

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATIONS

 

  Q. WHY IS A SHAREHOLDER MEETING BEING HELD?

 

A. The Board of your fund has approved a reorganization, subject to shareholder approval, under which your fund would be combined with another Legg Mason-affiliated fund that has investment objectives and policies similar to your fund. If shareholders of your fund approve the reorganization, you would become a shareholder of the corresponding surviving fund in the chart below.

  Q. HOW WILL A REORGANIZATION AFFECT ME?

 

A. If the reorganization of your fund is approved, your fund’s assets and liabilities will be combined with the assets and liabilities of the surviving fund and you will become a shareholder of the surviving fund. You will receive shares of the surviving fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of your fund that you own on the date of the reorganization.

 

  Q. WHY ARE THE REORGANIZATIONS BEING RECOMMENDED?

 

A. As you may be aware, on December 1, 2005, Legg Mason acquired substantially all the asset management businesses of Citigroup Asset Management. Since that time, Legg Mason has undertaken a broad set of initiatives, including a comprehensive review of its various products, with the goal of integrating and streamlining the legacy Citigroup Asset Management funds, in an effort to focus on those funds that Legg Mason believes offer the best prospects for long-term viability, attractive long-term performance and greater asset growth over time. Asset growth over time offers the potential for greater economies of scale, lower expenses and greater portfolio management efficiency.


  Q. ARE MY FUND’S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES SIMILAR TO THOSE OF ITS SURVIVING FUND?

 

A. Legg Mason has recommended the surviving fund in each reorganization based on, among other factors, its evaluation of the compatibility of your fund’s investment objectives and policies with those of the surviving fund. There are, however, certain differences in investment objectives, principal investment policies and strategies, and principal risks between your fund(s) and the surviving fund(s). Please see “Comparison of Investment Objectives, Strategies, and Principal Risks of Investing in the Funds” in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The following chart provides a brief summary of some of the more significant of these differences, as considered by your fund’s boards.

 

Reorganization


 

Significant Differences in Objectives and Strategies


Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund into Legg Mason Partners Large Cap Growth Fund   There are no material differences between the investment objectives of the funds. The surviving fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital and your fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks.
   

The principal investment policies of the funds differ as follows:

 

•      Your fund focuses on mid-cap and large-cap companies in the technology sector, while the surviving fund focuses on large-cap companies across business sectors.

 

•      The surviving fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in the securities of foreign issuers directly while your fund has no such restriction.

 

•      The surviving fund is diversified while your fund is non-diversified, which means that your fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer.

Legg Mason Partners National Municipals Fund into Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc.   There are no material differences between the investment objectives of the funds. The surviving fund seeks to maximize current interest income that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes to the extent consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital. Your fund seeks as high a level of income exempt from regular federal income tax as is consistent with prudent investing.
   

The principal investment policies of the funds differ as follows:

 

•      At least two-thirds of the municipal securities held by your fund must be rated, at the time of purchase, within the three highest investment grade rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, while the surviving fund requires that at least 80% of the municipal securities held by the surviving be rated in the four highest long-term rating categories, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the manager.

   

•      Your fund invests exclusively in municipal securities that are rated investment grade at the time of purchase or are of comparable quality if unrated, while the surviving fund requires 80% of its assets to be invested in accordance with such restriction.

Reorganization


 

Significant Differences in Objectives and Strategies


   

•      The surviving fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in junk bonds while your fund may not.

Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund into Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc.   There are material differences between the investment objectives of the funds. The surviving fund seeks to maximize current interest income that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes to the extent consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital. Your fund seeks to maximize total return, consistent with the preservation of capital.
   

Differences between the principal investment policies of the funds include the following:

 

•      Your fund may not invest more than 20% of its assets in securities that pay interest subject to federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”), while the surviving fund has no limitation on the portion of its investments that may be invested in securities that pay interest subject to AMT.

 

•      The surviving fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in junk bonds while your fund may not invest in junk bonds.

 

•      Your fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity is normally expected to be in a long-term range (between 10 and 30 years), while the surviving fund focuses primarily on intermediate-term and long-term municipal securities that have remaining maturities at the time of purchase of between three and 30 years.

 

•      The surviving fund is diversified, while your fund is non-diversified which means that your fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer.

Legg Mason Partners Georgia Municipals Fund into Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc.   There are material differences between the investment objectives of the funds. While the surviving fund seeks to maximize current interest income that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes to the extent consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital, your fund seeks as high a level of income exempt from regular federal income taxes and Georgia personal income taxes as is consistent with prudent investing.
   

The principal investment policies of the funds differ as follows:

 

•      Your fund has an 80% investment policy of investing in Georgia municipal securities while the surviving fund invests in securities issued by various states.

 

•      Most of the surviving fund’s income distributions are subject to Georgia personal income taxes.

   

•      The surviving fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in junk bonds while your fund may not invest in junk bonds.

 

•      The surviving fund is diversified, while your fund is non-diversified which means that your fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer.

Reorganization


 

Significant Differences in Objectives and Strategies


   

•      At least two-thirds of the municipal securities held by your fund must be rated, at the time of purchase, within the three highest investment grade rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, while the surviving fund requires that at least 80% of the municipal securities held by the surviving be rated in the four highest long-term rating categories, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the manager.

Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc. into Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc.   There are material differences between the investment objectives of the funds. While the surviving fund seeks to maximize current interest income that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes to the extent consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital, your fund seeks to provide Arizona investors with the maximum amount of income exempt from federal and Arizona state income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital.
    The major difference between the funds is that your fund must invest at least 80% of its assets in securities paying interest exempt from Arizona income tax, while the surviving fund has no similar restriction and has a nationwide focus. Most of the surviving fund’s income distributions are subject to Arizona state income taxes.
Legg Mason Partners Florida Municipals Fund into Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc.   There are no material differences between the investment objectives of the funds. The surviving fund seeks to maximize current interest income that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes to the extent consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital. Your fund seeks as high a level of income exempt from regular federal income taxes as is consistent with prudent investing.
   

The principal investment policies of the funds differ as follows:

 

•      Your fund must invest at least 80% of its assets in Florida municipal securities while the surviving fund invests in securities issued by various states. Your fund generally favors municipal securities that are exempt from the Florida intangibles tax. The Florida intangibles tax has been repealed effective January 1, 2007.

 

•      The surviving fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in junk bonds while your fund may not.

 

•      At least two-thirds of the municipal securities held by your fund must be rated, at the time of purchase, within the three highest investment grade rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, while the surviving fund requires that at least 80% of the municipal securities held by the surviving be rated in the four highest long-term rating categories, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the manager.

Significant Differences in Objectives and Strategies


   

•      The surviving fund is diversified, while your fund is non-diversified, which means that your fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer.

A. The chart below illustrates the effect of the reorganizations on your fund’s fees and expenses:

Please see “Comparison of Fees and Expenses” in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus for a detailed breakdown of the fees and expenses paid by your fund in comparison with those paid by the surviving fund.

 

  Q. WILL I HAVE TO PAY ANY SALES LOAD, CHARGE OR OTHER COMMISSION IN CONNECTION WITH A REORGANIZATION?

 

A. No. No sales load, deferred sales charge, commission, redemption fee, or other transactional fee will be charged as a result of the reorganizations. You will receive shares of the surviving fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of your fund that you own on the date of the reorganization.

 

  Q. WHAT IF I REDEEM OR EXCHANGE MY SHARES BEFORE THE CLOSING OF THE REORGANIZATION?

 

A. Redemptions or exchanges of fund shares which occur before the closing of the reorganization will be processed according to your fund’s policies and procedures in effect at the time of the redemption or exchange. Shareholders of Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund, Legg Mason Partners Georgia Municipals Fund and Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc. may redeem shares without paying a deferred sales charge for the period from July 12, 2006, the date of the prospectus supplement announcing the reorganizations, until the closing date of the reorganizations. This waiver will permit fund shareholders to redeem their shares and invest the proceeds in another fund without paying any deferred sales charge that would otherwise have applied to the redemption.

 

  Q. WILL MY SHAREHOLDER PRIVILEGES CHANGE AS A RESULT OF THE REORGANIZATION?

 

A. Generally, no. In most instances, shareholders will receive the same class of shares of the surviving fund as they currently hold, except Class O shareholders of Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund will receive Class Y shares of Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc.

 

Please see “Comparison of Sales Loads, Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Arrangements and Purchase, Redemption and Exchange Policies and Procedures” and “Appendix B—Purchases, Redemptions and Exchanges of Fund Shares—Other Shareholder Information” in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus for a description of the differences among fund classes.

 

-7-


As part of the comprehensive review undertaken by Legg Mason, the Boards of your fund(s) have approved changes to the share class pricing structure that are expected to become effective prior to the date of the reorganizations and, therefore, will be applicable to the surviving funds after the reorganizations. You will see information about those changes in a supplement to your fund’s prospectus to be distributed later this year. Please see also “Comparison of Sales Loads, Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Arrangements and Purchase, Redemption and Exchange Policies and Procedures” in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus for more information.

 

  Q. WILL I HAVE TO PAY ANY TAXES AS A RESULT OF THE REORGANIZATIONS?

 

A. Each reorganization is intended to qualify as a tax-free transaction for Federal income tax purposes. Assuming the reorganization of your fund qualifies for such treatment, you will not recognize a gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the reorganization. As a condition to the closing of the reorganization, your fund will receive an opinion of counsel to the effect that the reorganization will qualify for such treatment. Opinions of counsel are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. You should talk to your tax advisor about any state, local and other tax consequences of your fund’s reorganization.

 

  Q. WHAT HAPPENS IF SHAREHOLDERS OF SOME FUNDS APPROVE THEIR REORGANIZATIONS, WHILE SHAREHOLDERS OF OTHER FUNDS DO NOT?

 

A. None of the proposed reorganizations is contingent upon the approval of any other reorganization, including those reorganizations that contemplate the reorganization of more than one fund into a surviving fund. Thus, if shareholders of your fund approve the reorganization of your fund, your fund will be reorganized into the surviving fund even if shareholders of other funds do not approve their reorganizations.

 

  Q. WHO WILL PAY FOR THE REORGANIZATIONS?

 

A. Legg Mason and the funds will share the costs of the Reorganizations involving the Legg Mason Partners and Salomon Brothers funds. Please see “Proxy Solicitation” in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus for a description of the costs to be borne by Legg Mason and those to be borne by the funds.

 

  Q. WHY AM I RECEIVING MULTIPLE PROXY MATERIALS OR OTHER MATERIALS FROM MY FUND?

 

A. Legg Mason has developed a broader set of initiatives designed to integrate and streamline the legacy Citigroup Asset Management funds. The other initiatives, which are not included in the attached materials, include proposals to reorganize other legacy Citigroup Asset Management funds as well as a number of other governance- and investment-related matters. Certain of these initiatives will require shareholder approval. The Boards of the affected funds recently have approved these initiatives and if the initiatives apply to your fund, they were presented for your consideration and approval in separate sets of proxy materials that were sent to you earlier in the fall. For a discussion of certain of these proposals, see “Effect of Proposed ‘Shell’ Reorganizations of the Funds,” “Fundamental Investment Restrictions” and “Form of Organization” in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

 

  Q. ARE THERE ANY PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE SURVIVING FUNDS THAT I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?

 

A. Yes. As part of the initiatives referred to in the previous question, shareholders of the surviving funds will be asked to approve certain proposals, including electing Board members and approving certain other governance- and investment-related proposals. If these proposals are approved by shareholders of the surviving funds, it is currently anticipated that they would take effect no later than the completion date of the proposed reorganization of your fund into the surviving fund.

 

  Q. HOW DOES MY BOARD RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE?

 

A. Your fund’s Board, including all of the independent Board members, unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the reorganization of your fund.

 

  Q. WHAT HAPPENS IF A REORGANIZATION IS NOT APPROVED?

 

A. If the shareholders of your fund do not approve the reorganization of your fund, then you will remain a shareholder of your fund.

 

-8-


  Q. I AM AN INVESTOR WHO HOLDS A SMALL NUMBER OF SHARES. WHY SHOULD I VOTE?

 

A. Your vote makes a difference. If many shareholders just like you fail to vote their proxies, your fund may not receive enough votes to go forward with the shareholder meeting, and additional costs will be incurred to solicit additional proxies.

 

  Q. WHEN IS THE REORGANIZATION OF MY FUND EXPECTED TO HAPPEN?

 

A. If shareholders approve the reorganization of your fund, the reorganization of your fund is expected to occur on February 2, 2007, except for Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund’s reorganization, which is expected to occur on March 2, 2007.

 

  Q. HOW CAN I VOTE?

 

A. In addition to voting by mail by returning the enclosed proxy card, you may also vote by either touch-tone telephone or online via the Internet, as follows:

This combined Proxy Statement and Prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Boards of Trustees/Directors (each a “Board”) of each of the Acquired Funds for a Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Acquired Funds (each, a “Meeting”). Each Meeting will be held on December 20, 2006 at 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, at the offices of Bingham McCutchen LLP, 399 Park Avenue, 19th floor, New York, New York 10022. At the Meeting, shareholders of each Acquired Fund will be asked to consider and act upon the following:

 

PROPOSAL 1: To approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (a “Reorganization Agreement”), providing for (i) the acquisition of all of the assets and the assumption of all of the liabilities of the applicable Acquired Fund, in exchange for shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund listed opposite its name in the following chart to be distributed to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund (each, a “Reorganization” and collectively, the “Reorganizations”) and (ii) the subsequent termination of the Acquired Fund:

; and

 

PROPOSAL 2: To transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

 

Each Reorganization Agreement contemplates the transfer of all of the assets and the assumption of all of the liabilities of an Acquired Fund in exchange for shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Acquired Fund. Each Acquired Fund would then distribute to its shareholders the portion of the shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund to which each such shareholder is entitled, with each shareholder receiving shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of the Acquired Fund held by that shareholder as of the close of business on the day of the closing of the Reorganization. Thereafter, each Acquired Fund would be terminated.

 

You are being asked to approve a Reorganization Agreement pursuant to which a Reorganization would be accomplished. Because shareholders of the Acquired Funds are being asked to approve a transaction that will result in their holding shares of the corresponding Acquiring Funds, this Proxy Statement also serves as a Prospectus for the Acquiring Funds.

If a Reorganization is approved, each shareholder of each class of an Acquired Fund will receive shares of the corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund in the Reorganization, except that Class O shareholders of Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund will receive Class Y shares of Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc.

 

No sales charge will be imposed on the Class A shares of an Acquiring Fund received by the Acquired Fund shareholders. After a Reorganization, any deferred sales charge that applied to a shareholder’s Class A (if applicable), Class B or Class C shares of the Acquired Fund at the time of a Reorganization will continue to apply for the remainder of the applicable holding period at the time of the Reorganization. In calculating any applicable deferred sales charge, the period during which a shareholder held the Class B or Class C shares (and the holding periods applicable to certain purchases of Class A shares) of the Acquired Fund will be included in the holding period of the Acquiring Fund’s shares received as a result of the Reorganization. In addition, the deferred sales charges applicable to redemptions of shares of Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund, Legg Mason Partners Georgia Municipals Fund and Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc. are being waived from July 12, 2006, the dates of the prospectus supplements announcing the potential Reorganizations, until the date of the closing of each Reorganization. Effective as of the close of business on July 12, 2006, Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund, Legg Mason Partners Georgia Municipals Fund and Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc. were closed to all new purchases and incoming exchanges. Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund, Legg Mason Partners Georgia Municipals Fund and Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc. will remain open

Shareholders should be aware that for those Reorganizations that contemplate the reorganization of two Acquired Funds into the same Acquiring Fund, if shareholders of one Acquired Fund approve the Reorganization Agreement for that Fund, the reorganization of that Fund will be effected, even if the shareholders of the other Acquired Fund do not approve its Reorganization Agreement. In addition, no Reorganization proposal is contingent on any other Reorganization proposal being approved by an Acquired Fund’s shareholders.

 

The Reorganizations are being structured as tax-free reorganizations for Federal income tax purposes. See “Information about the Reorganizations—Federal Income Tax Consequences” below. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors to determine the actual impact of the Reorganizations in light of their individual tax circumstances.

 

Each Fund is an open-end management investment company or a series of an open-end management investment company. The investment objectives and principal investment strategies of each Acquired Fund are comparable to those of the corresponding Acquiring Fund. There may be certain differences, however, in investment objectives, policies, strategies and principal risks.

SUMMARY

 

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the additional information contained elsewhere in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and each Reorganization Agreement, the form of which is attached to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus as Appendix A.

 

Proposed Reorganizations

 

At meetings held in June, July and August 2006, the Board of each Acquired Fund and the Board of each Acquiring Fund, including all of the Board members who are not “interested persons” of the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (“Independent Board Members”), unanimously approved the relevant Reorganization Agreement. Each Reorganization Agreement provides for:

 

  1. the transfer of all of the assets and the assumption of all of the liabilities of the applicable Acquired Fund in exchange for shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund listed opposite its name in the following chart having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of the Acquired Fund;

  2. the distribution of shares of the Acquiring Fund to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund; and

 

  3. the termination of the Acquired Fund.

 

Each Reorganization Agreement is subject to approval by the shareholders of the applicable Acquired Fund. The Reorganizations, if approved by shareholders, are scheduled to be effective as of the close of business on February 2, 2007, except for Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund’s Reorganization, which is expected to be effective as of the close of business on March 2, 2007, or, for any Reorganization, on such later date as the parties may agree (“Closing Date”). As a result of the Reorganizations, each shareholder of an Acquired Fund will become the owner of the number of full and fractional shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shareholder’s Acquired Fund shares as of the close of business on the Closing Date. Shareholders of Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares of each Acquired Fund, as applicable, will receive the same class of shares of the applicable Acquiring Fund. Class O shareholders of Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund will receive Class Y shares of Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. See “Information about the Proposed Reorganizations” below. In addition, the deferred sales charges applicable to redemptions of shares of Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund, Legg Mason Partners Georgia Municipals Fund and Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc. are being waived from July 12, 2006, the date of the prospectus supplements announcing the potential Reorganizations, until the date of the closing of each Reorganization. Effective as of the close of business on July 12, 2006, Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund, Legg Mason Partners Georgia Municipals Fund and Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc. were closed to all new purchases and incoming exchanges. Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund, Legg Mason Partners Georgia

Municipals Fund and Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc. will remain open for dividend reinvestment and Class B to Class A conversions. For more information about the classes of shares offered by the Acquired and Acquiring Funds, see “Comparison of Sales Loads, Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Arrangements and Purchase, Redemption and Exchange Policies and Procedures” below and “Purchases, Redemptions and Exchanges of Fund Shares—Other Shareholder Information” in Appendix B.

 

For the reasons set forth below in “Information about the Proposed Reorganizations—Reasons for the Reorganizations and Board Considerations,” the Board of each Acquired Fund, including all of the Independent Board Members, has concluded that the Reorganization of such Acquired Fund would be in the best interests of the Acquired Fund and that the interests of the Acquired Fund’s existing shareholders would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The Boards, therefore, are hereby submitting the Reorganization Agreements to the shareholders of the Acquired Funds and recommend that shareholders of each Acquired Fund vote “FOR” the Reorganization Agreement effecting the Reorganization for that Fund. The Board of each Acquiring Fund has approved the Reorganization on behalf of the corresponding Acquiring Fund.

 

For each Acquired Fund, approval of the relevant Reorganization Agreement will require, if a quorum is present at the Meeting, the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Acquired Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act. A “majority of the outstanding voting securities” is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting securities present at the Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Acquired Fund are present at the Meeting or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Acquired Fund. See “Voting Information” below.

 

Prior to completion of a Reorganization, each Fund will have received an opinion from Dechert LLP to the effect that the Reorganization will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for Federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no gain or loss should be recognized by an Acquired Fund or its shareholders as a result of the Reorganization of such Acquired Fund, and the aggregate tax basis of the Acquiring Fund shares received by each Acquired Fund shareholder will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the shareholder’s Acquired Fund shares. For more information about the Federal income tax consequences of the Reorganizations, see “Information about the Proposed Reorganizations—Federal Income Tax Consequences” below.

 

Some of the portfolio assets of an Acquired Fund may be sold in connection with the Reorganization. The actual tax impact of such sales will depend on the difference between the price at which such portfolio assets are sold and the Acquired Fund’s basis in such assets. Any capital gains recognized in these sales on a net basis, after the application of any available capital loss carryforwards, will be distributed to the Acquired Fund shareholders as capital gain dividends (to the extent of net realized long-term capital gains distributed) and/or ordinary dividends (to the extent of net realized short-term capital gains distributed) during or with respect to the year of sale, and such distributions will be taxable to shareholders.

 

Certain Defined Terms Used in this Proxy Statement and Prospectus

 

All of the Funds are series of Massachusetts business trusts (the “Massachusetts Funds”), except Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund, which is a series of a Maryland corporation, and Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc. and Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc., which are Maryland corporations (the “Maryland Corporations”). For ease of reference and clarity of presentation, shares of common stock of the Maryland Corporations and beneficial interests of the Massachusetts Funds are hereinafter referred to as “shares,” and holders of shares are hereinafter referred to as “shareholders”; the Boards of Trustees overseeing the Massachusetts Funds and the Boards of Directors overseeing the Maryland Corporations are each referred to herein as a “Board” and collectively as the “Boards”; the Declarations of Trust governing the Massachusetts Funds and the charters governing the Maryland Corporations, each as amended and supplemented, are referred to herein as a “declaration of trust”; the term “termination” refers to the termination and redemption for purposes of a portfolio of a Maryland corporation and for the purposes of a series of a Massachusetts business trust refers to the liquidation of the assets and the distribution of the remaining trust property to the shareholders in accordance with their respective rights.

 

Comparison of Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies

 

This section will help you compare the investment objectives and principal investment strategies of the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds. Please be aware that this is only a brief discussion. More detailed comparisons of the Funds, including risks, appear later in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and a chart providing a side-by-side comparison of the Funds and their investment objectives, principal investment strategies and management can be found in Appendix C. These discussions address the Funds’ “fundamental” investment policies, meaning those that can be changed only by shareholder

vote, and any material differences in the Funds’ “non-fundamental” investment policies, meaning those that can be changed by a Fund’s board without a shareholder vote. In each case, the investment objectives and principal investment strategies of the Acquiring Fund will apply following a Reorganization. More information can be found in each Fund’s prospectus and Fund SAI.

 

Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund (Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Large Cap Growth Fund (Acquiring Fund)

 

There are no material differences between the investment objectives of the Funds. The Acquiring Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital and the Acquired Fund’s is long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks.

 

The Acquiring Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities, or other investments with similar economic characteristics, of companies with large market capitalizations. The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in the securities of foreign issuers directly or in the form of depositary receipts representing an interest in those securities, up to 20% of its assets in money market instruments and/or cash to pay expenses and meet redemption requests and up to 20% of its assets in equity securities of companies with total market capitalizations below $5 billion.

 

The Acquired Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of companies principally engaged in offering, using or developing products, processes or services that will provide or will benefit significantly from technological advances and improvements. The Acquired Fund invests primarily in companies with medium and large market capitalizations. To a lesser extent, the Acquired Fund also may invest in common stocks of companies with small market capitalizations. In addition, the Acquired Fund may invest its assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers. The Acquired Fund may use derivatives (1) to hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market value of its securities, because of changes in stock market prices, currency exchange rates or interest rates, (2) to settle transactions in securities quoted in foreign currencies, (3) as a substitute for buying or selling securities and (4) as a cash flow management technique.

 

The primary differences between the Funds are as follows:

 

    The Acquired Fund focuses on mid-cap and large-cap companies in the technology sector, while the Acquiring Fund focuses on large-cap companies across business sectors;

 

    The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in the securities of foreign issuers directly while the Acquired Fund has no such restriction; and

 

    The Acquiring Fund is diversified while the Acquired Fund is non-diversified, which means that the Acquired Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer.

 

The Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund present similar risks. However, as a result of the Reorganization, Acquired Fund shareholders would no longer be subject to small capitalization company risk and non-diversification risk, and would be subject to a lesser extent to sector risk associated with technology companies.

 

Legg Mason Partners National Municipals Fund (Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. (Acquiring Fund)

 

There are no material differences between the investment objectives of the Funds. The Acquiring Fund seeks to maximize current interest income that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes to the extent consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital. The Acquired Fund seeks as high a level of income exempt from regular federal income tax as is consistent with prudent investing.

 

There are no material differences in the Funds’ principal investment policies. Each Fund, as a matter of fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities (or other investments with similar economic characteristics in the case of the Acquiring Fund), the income from which is exempt from regular federal income tax. Each Fund considers any investments in municipal obligations that pay interest subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) as part of the 80% of the Fund’s assets that must be invested in municipal securities. Municipal securities include securities issued by any of the 50 states and certain other municipal issuers, political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities, which pay interest that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes. The Acquired Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in debt securities which are issued or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. The Acquiring Fund may use derivatives to hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes

in the market value of portfolio securities because of changes in interest rates, as a substitute for buying or selling securities and as a cash flow management technique. Both Funds are diversified under the 1940 Act, which means that they are limited as to the percentage of assets that can be invested in the securities of a single issuer.

 

The same team of portfolio managers manages both Funds and employs the same investment strategy for selecting securities of each portfolio.

 

The primary differences between the Funds are as follows:

 

    At least two-thirds of the municipal securities held by the Acquired Fund must be rated, at the time of purchase, within the three highest investment grade rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, while the Acquiring Fund requires that at least 80% of the municipal securities held by the Acquiring Fund be rated in the four highest long-term rating categories, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the manager.

 

    The Acquired Fund invests exclusively in municipal securities that are rated investment grade at the time of purchase or are of comparable quality if unrated, while the Acquiring Fund requires 80% of its assets to be invested in accordance with such restriction.

 

    The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in junk bonds while the Acquired Fund may not.

 

The Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund present similar risks. As a result of the Reorganization, however, a shareholder in the Acquired Fund would also become subject to risks associated with investment in securities rated below investment grade and derivatives.

 

Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund (Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. (Acquiring Fund)

 

There are material differences between the investment objectives of the Funds. The Acquiring Fund seeks to maximize current interest income that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes to the extent consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital. The Acquired Fund seeks to maximize total return, consistent with the preservation of capital. The Acquiring Fund’s investment objective is a fundamental policy while the Acquired Fund’s is not. As a result, the Acquiring Fund may change its investment objective only with shareholder approval.

 

As a matter of fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, each Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities or other investments with similar economic characteristics, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income tax. Municipal securities include securities issued by any of the 50 states and certain other municipal issuers, political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities, which pay interest that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes. In addition, both Funds use derivatives to hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market value of portfolio securities because of changes in interest rates, as a substitute for buying or selling securities and as a cash flow management technique.

 

The primary differences between the Funds are as follows:

 

    The Acquired Fund may not invest more than 20% of its assets in securities that pay interest subject to the AMT, while the Acquiring Fund has no limitation on the portion of its investments that may be invested in securities that pay interest subject to AMT.

 

    The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in junk bonds while the Acquired Fund may not.

 

    The Acquired Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity is normally expected to be in a long-term range (between 10 and 30 years), while the Acquiring Fund focuses primarily on intermediate-term and long-term municipal securities that have remaining maturities at the time of purchase of between three and 30 years.

 

    The Acquiring Fund is diversified while the Acquired Fund is non-diversified, which means that the Acquired Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer.

 

The Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund present similar risks. As a result of the Reorganization, however, a shareholder in the Acquired Fund would also become subject to risks associated with investments in securities rated below investment grade and a greater exposure to AMT-subject paper, but would no longer be subject to non-diversification risk.

 

Legg Mason Partners Georgia Municipals Fund (Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. (Acquiring Fund)

 

There are material differences between the investment objectives of the Funds. While the Acquiring Fund seeks to maximize current interest income that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes to the extent

consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital, the Acquired Fund seeks as high a level of income exempt from regular federal income taxes and Georgia personal income taxes as is consistent with prudent investing.

 

As a matter of fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Acquiring Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities or other investments with similar economic characteristics, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income tax, while the Acquired Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in Georgia municipal securities, the interest from which is exempt from regular federal income tax and Georgia state personal income taxes. Each Fund considers any investments in municipal obligations that pay interest subject to the AMT as part of the 80% of the Fund’s assets that must be invested in municipal securities. In the case of the Acquiring Fund, municipal securities include securities issued by any of the 50 states and certain other municipal issuers, political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities, which pay interest that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes. In the case of the Acquired Fund, Georgia municipal securities include securities issued by the State of Georgia and certain other municipal issuers, political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities that pay interest that is exempt from regular federal income tax and Georgia state personal income taxes. Each Fund focuses primarily on intermediate-term and long-term municipal securities. The Acquired Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in municipal securities of non-Georgia issuers. The Acquired Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in debt securities which are issued or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. In addition, both Funds use derivatives to hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market value of portfolio securities because of changes in interest rates, as a substitute for buying or selling securities and as a cash flow management technique.

 

The same team of portfolio managers manages both Funds and employs the same investment strategy for selecting securities of each portfolio.

 

The primary differences between the Funds are as follows:

 

    The Acquired Fund has an 80% investment policy of investing in Georgia municipal securities while the Acquiring Fund invests in various states. As a result, most of the Acquiring Fund’s income distributions are subject to Georgia personal income taxes.

 

    The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in junk bonds while the Acquired Fund may not invest in junk bonds.

 

    The Acquiring Fund is diversified, while the Acquired Fund is non-diversified which means that the Acquired Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer.

 

    At least two-thirds of the municipal securities held by the Acquired Fund must be rated, at the time of purchase, within the three highest investment grade rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, while the Acquiring Fund requires that at least 80% of the municipal securities held by the Acquiring Fund be rated in the four highest long-term rating categories, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the manager.

 

The Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund present similar risks. As a result of the Reorganization, however, a shareholder in the Acquired Fund would become subject to risks associated with investments in securities rated below investment grade, but would no longer be subject to state-specific risks and non-diversification risk. In addition, the shareholder would be subject to Georgia personal income taxes on more of the dividends paid by the Acquiring Fund.

 

Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc. (Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. (Acquiring Fund)

 

There are material differences between the investment objectives of the Funds. While the Acquiring Fund seeks to maximize current interest income that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes to the extent consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital, the Acquired Fund seeks to provide Arizona investors with the maximum amount of income exempt from federal and Arizona state income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital.

 

As a matter of fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Acquiring Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities or other investments with similar economic characteristics, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income tax, while the Acquired Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in Arizona municipal securities or other investments with similar economic characteristics the interest from which is exempt from income for regular federal income tax and from Arizona state personal income taxes. Each Fund considers any investments in municipal obligations that pay interest subject to the federal AMT as part of the 80% of the Fund’s assets that must be invested in municipal securities. In the case of the Acquiring Fund, municipal securities include securities issued by any of the 50 states and certain other

municipal issuers, political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities, which pay interest that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes. In the case of the Acquired Fund, Arizona municipal securities include securities issued by the State of Arizona and certain other municipal issuers, political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities that pay interest that is exempt from income for regular federal income tax and from Arizona state personal income taxes. Each Fund focuses primarily on intermediate-term and long-term municipal securities. Each Fund can invest up to 20% of its assets in bonds rated below investment grade or in unrated securities determined to be of equivalent quality by the manager (commonly known as “junk bonds”). In addition, both Funds use derivatives to hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market value of portfolio securities because of changes in interest rates, as a substitute for buying or selling securities and as a cash flow management technique.

 

The same team of portfolio managers manages both Funds and employs the same investment strategy for selecting securities of each portfolio.

 

The primary differences between the Funds are as follows:

 

    The Acquired Fund must invest at least 80% of its assets in securities paying interest exempt from Arizona income tax, while the Acquiring Fund has no similar restriction and has a nationwide focus. As a result, most of the Acquiring Fund’s income distributions are subject to Arizona state income taxes.

 

    The Acquiring Fund focuses primarily on intermediate-term and long-term municipal securities that have remaining maturities at the time of purchase of from three to more than 30 years while the Acquired Fund focuses on such securities that have remaining maturities at the time of purchase ranging from three to more than 20 years.

 

The Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund present similar risks. As a result of the Reorganization, however, a shareholder in the Acquired Fund would no longer be subject to state-specific risks. In addition, the shareholder would be subject to Arizona state income taxes on more of the dividends paid by the Acquiring Fund.

 

Legg Mason Partners Florida Municipals Fund (Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. (Acquiring Fund)

 

There are no material differences between the investment objectives of the Funds. The Acquiring Fund seeks to maximize current interest income that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes to the extent consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital. The Acquired Fund seeks as high a level of income exempt from regular federal income taxes as is consistent with prudent investing.

 

As a matter of fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Acquiring Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities or other investments with similar economic characteristics, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income tax, while the Acquired Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in Florida municipal securities, the interest from which is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes and generally exempt for purposes of the Florida intangibles tax. Each Fund considers any investments in municipal obligations that pay interest subject to the federal AMT as part of the 80% of the Fund’s assets that must be invested in municipal securities. In the case of the Acquiring Fund, municipal securities include securities issued by any of the 50 states and certain other municipal issuers, political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities, which pay interest that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes. In the case of the Acquired Fund, Florida municipal securities include securities issued by the State of Florida and certain other municipal issuers, political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities that pay interest that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes. The Acquired Fund generally favors municipal securities that enable its shares to be exempt from the Florida intangibles tax. However, the Florida intangibles tax has been repealed effective January 1, 2007. Each Fund focuses primarily on intermediate-term and long-term municipal securities. The Acquired Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in municipal securities of non-Florida issuers. The Acquired Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in debt securities which are issued or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. In addition, both Funds use derivatives to hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market value of portfolio securities because of changes in interest rates, as a substitute for buying or selling securities and as a cash flow management technique.

 

The same team of portfolio managers manages both Funds and employs the same investment strategy for selecting securities of each portfolio.

 

The primary differences between the Funds are as follows:

 

    The Acquired Fund must invest at least 80% of its assets in Florida municipal securities while the Acquiring Fund invests in municipal securities of various states.

 

6


    The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in junk bonds while the Acquired Fund may not invest in junk bonds.

 

    At least two-thirds of the municipal securities held by the Acquired Fund must be rated, at the time of purchase, within the three highest investment grade rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, while the Acquiring Fund requires that at least 80% of the municipal securities held by the Acquiring Fund be rated in the four highest long-term rating categories, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the manager.

 

    The Acquiring Fund is diversified, while the Acquired Fund is non-diversified, which means that the Acquired Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer.

 

The Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund present similar risks. As a result of the Reorganization, however, a shareholder in the Acquired Fund would become subject to risks associated with investment in securities rated below investment grade, but would no longer be subject to state-specific risks and non-diversification risk.

 

Effect on Expenses

 

This section summarizes the effect on the fees and expenses of the Acquired Funds in each Reorganization. Legg Mason has contractually agreed to cap total operating expenses for all of the Acquiring Funds after the Reorganization such that expenses will not increase above current levels paid by the applicable Acquiring Fund, as set forth below.

 

Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund (Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Large Cap Growth Fund (Acquiring Fund)

 

As a result of the Reorganization, total operating expenses paid by Acquired Fund shareholders are expected to decline for Class A shares from 1.92% (gross) and 1.50% (net of voluntary fee waivers) to 1.11%, for Class B shares from 2.57% (gross) and 2.25% (net of voluntary fee waivers) to 1.88% (net of contractual waivers in effect until at least April 1, 2008) and for Class C shares from 2.39% (gross) and 2.25% (net of voluntary fee waivers) to 1.85% (net of contractual waivers in effect until April 1, 2008).

 

Legg Mason Partners National Municipals Fund (Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. (Acquiring Fund)

 

If the Reorganizations of each Acquired Fund merging into the Acquiring Fund are approved, total operating expenses for Class A shares are expected to increase from 0.65% to 0.67% (net of contractual waivers in effect until at least July 1, 2008). Total operating expenses for Class B shares are expected to increase from 1.16% to 1.18% (net of contractual waivers in effect until at least July 1, 2008). Total operating expenses paid by Acquired Fund shareholders are expected to increase for Class C shares from 1.20% to 1.22%.

 

If only this Reorganization is approved, and not the Reorganizations involving the other Acquired Funds, total operating expenses paid by Acquired Fund shareholders are expected to increase for Class A from 0.65% to 0.68%, for Class B from 1.16% to 1.19% (net of contractual waivers in effect until at least July 1, 2008) and for Class C from 1.20% to 1.22%.

 

Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund (Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. (Acquiring Fund)

 

If the Reorganizations of each Acquired Fund merging into the Acquiring Fund are approved, total operating expenses paid by Acquired Fund shareholders are expected to decline for Class A shares from 1.29% (gross) and 0.75% (net of voluntary fee waivers) to 0.67% (net of contractual fee waivers in effect until at least July 1, 2008), for Class B shares from 2.07% (gross) and 1.50% (net of voluntary fee waivers) to 1.18% (net of contractual waivers in effect until at least July 1, 2008), for Class C shares from 1.77% (gross) and 1.25% (net of voluntary fee waivers) to 1.22% and for Class O shares (which will be exchanged for Class Y shares of the combined fund) from 1.27% (gross) and 0.50% (net of voluntary fee waivers) to 0.50% (net of contractual waivers in effect until at least July 1, 2008).

 

If only this Reorganization is approved, and not the Reorganizations involving the other Acquired Funds, total operating expenses paid by Acquired Fund shareholders are expected to decline for Class A shares from 1.29% (gross) and 0.75% (net of voluntary fee waivers) to 0.70%, for Class B shares from 2.07% (gross) and 1.50% (net of voluntary fee waivers) to 1.22%, for Class C shares from 1.77% (gross) and 1.25% (net of voluntary fee waivers) to 1.24% and for Class O shares (which will be exchanged for Class Y shares of the combined fund) from 1.27% (gross) and 0.50% (net of voluntary fee waivers) to 0.50% (net of contractual waivers in effect until at least July 1, 2008).

Legg Mason Partners Georgia Municipals Fund (Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. (Acquiring Fund)

 

If the Reorganizations of each Acquired Fund merging into the Acquiring Fund are approved, total operating expenses paid by Acquired Fund shareholders are expected to decline for Class A shares from 0.74% to 0.67% (net of contractual fee waivers effective until at least July 1, 2008), for Class B shares from 1.32% (gross) and 1.30% (net of voluntary fee waivers) to 1.18% (net of contractual fee waivers in effect until at least July 1, 2008) and for Class C shares from 1.33% to 1.22%.

 

If only this Reorganization is approved, and not the Reorganizations involving the other Acquired Funds, total operating expenses paid by Acquired Fund shareholders are expected to decline for Class A shares from 0.74% to 0.70%, for Class B shares from 1.32% (gross) and 1.30% (net of voluntary fee waivers) to 1.22% and for Class C shares from 1.33% to 1.24%.

 

Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc. (Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. (Acquiring Fund)

 

If the Reorganizations of each Acquired Fund merging into the Acquiring Fund are approved, total operating expenses paid by Acquired Fund shareholders are expected to decline for Class A shares from 1.03% (gross) and 0.75% (net of voluntary management fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) to 0.67% (net of contractual fee waivers in effect until at least July 1, 2008), for Class B shares from 1.64% (gross) and 1.36% (net of voluntary management fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) to 1.18% (net of contractual fee waivers in effect until at least July 1, 2008) and for Class C shares from 1.61% (gross) and 1.33% (net of voluntary management fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) to 1.22%.

Fee Tables and Expense Examples

 

The tables below (1) compare the estimated fees and expenses of each class of each Fund, as of June 30, 2006, and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses of each class of each combined Fund, on a pro forma basis, as if the Reorganizations occurred on June 30, 2006.

 

The estimates are based on contracts and agreements in effect as of June 30, 2006 and reflect the operating expense accrual rates on that date, which are based on each Fund’s net assets as of June 30, 2006. Accordingly, the actual fees and expenses of each class of each Fund and each combined Fund as of the Closing Date of the Reorganizations may differ from those reflected in the tables below due to changes in net assets from those at June 30, 2006.

 

Changes in net assets may result from purchases and redemptions of Fund shares, market appreciation or depreciation, and other factors occurring between that date and the Closing Date of the Reorganizations. As a general matter, changes (positive or negative) in any Fund’s expense ratios resulting from fluctuations in an Acquired or Acquiring Fund’s net assets will be borne by the shareholders of the Fund and the combined Fund. For information concerning the net assets of each Fund and class as of February 28, 2006, please see “Capitalization.”

Assumes the implementation of new sales charge structure to be effective before the Closing Date of the Reorganization.
(a) You may buy Class A shares in amounts of $1,000,000 or more at net asset value (without an initial sales charge) but if you redeem those shares within 12 months of their purchase, you will pay a deferred sales charge up to 1.00%.
(b) Management has agreed to voluntarily cap expenses at 1.50%, 2.25% and 2.25% for Class A, Class B, and Class C shares, respectively. Voluntary expense caps can be changed or discontinued at any time.
(c) The deferred sales charge on Class B shares declines by 1.00% per year until no deferred sales charge is incurred.
(d) Management has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to limit total annual operating expenses to 1.88% for Class B and 1.85% for Class C until April 1, 2008.

The following examples help you compare the costs of investing in each of the Funds with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you invest $10,000 for the periods shown, that your investment has a 5% return each year, that you reinvest all distributions and dividends, and that the Funds’ operating expenses (before voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any) remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Comparison of Sales Loads, Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Arrangements and Purchase, Redemption and Exchange Policies and Procedures

 

No sales loads or deferred sales charges will be incurred by Acquired Fund shareholders as a result of any of the Reorganizations.

 

The Boards of the Funds have approved changes to the share class pricing structure of the Legg Mason Partners Funds (formerly, the Smith Barney Funds) and Salomon Brothers Funds (“Legacy CAM Funds”) that are expected to become effective prior to the Closing Date of the Reorganization and, therefore, will be applicable to the Acquiring Funds after the Reorganizations. The changes applicable to the Acquiring Funds are as follows:

 

Class A Shares. Each Legg Mason Partners and Salomon Brothers Fund will have the same sales load schedule except that:

 

    For the Legg Mason Partners equity funds, the sales load schedule applicable to purchases of Class A shares will increase for purchases of less than $250,000, decrease for purchases between $250,000 and $500,000 and between $750,000 and $1 million and remain the same for purchases between $500,000 and $750,000.

 

88


    For the Legg Mason Partners tax-exempt fixed income funds, the sales load schedule will increase for all purchase amounts; purchases ranging between $500,000 and $1 million that were previously not subject to a sales load will now be charged a sales load of 2.00% (between $500,000 and $750,000) or 1.50% (between $750,000 and $1,000,000).

 

    For the Salomon Brothers tax-exempt fixed income funds, the sales load schedule will increase for purchases under $100,000.

 

The changes in the sales load schedules will apply only to new purchases (i.e., additional purchases by existing shareholders as well as new purchases by new investors). Where sales loads are decreasing, no discounts for previously purchased shares will be given. In addition, Class A shares generally will be available only to retail accounts, and not to retirement plan investors with omnibus accounts. Existing retirement plan accounts holding Class A shares will be grandfathered and exempt from these new requirements.

 

Class B Shares. Each Legg Mason Partners Fund and Salomon Brothers Fund will have the same deferred sales charge schedule except that:

 

    For Salomon Brothers tax-exempt fixed income funds, the deferred sales load schedule will increase for all sales made in years 1, 2, 3 and 4 and remain the same for year 5.

 

    Class B shares of equity and tax-exempt fixed income funds issued after the effective date of the changes to the share class pricing structure will have a new deferred sales charge schedule and will convert to Class A shares at the end of the eighth year after purchase; however, Class B shares of Salomon Brothers Funds issued before the effective date of the changes will continue to convert to Class A shares at the end of the seventh year.

 

    Class B shares issued by Acquiring Funds to Class B shareholders of Salomon Brothers Funds will retain the Class B deferred sales charge schedule as in effect prior to the Reorganization.

 

Class C Shares. There will be no changes to the pricing structure of Class C shares of the Funds for retail investors. However, Class C shares offered to employee benefit plans having omnibus accounts will no longer be subject to a deferred sales charge if shares are redeemed in the first year after purchase.

 

Salomon Brothers Funds Class C shares purchased prior to September 14, 1998 are subject to the deferred sales charge/conversion schedule in effect at that time.

 

Class O Shares. Class O shares will no longer be offered. Class O shares of Salomon Brothers Funds will be exchanged for Class Y shares in the Reorganizations.

 

Distribution arrangements for the Acquiring and Acquired Funds are substantially similar with respect to purchases, redemptions and exchanges. Please see Appendix B for additional information.

 

More information about the sales load, distribution and shareholder servicing arrangements of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of the Acquiring Funds following the Reorganizations and the procedures for making purchases, redemptions and exchanges of these classes of shares are set forth in “Purchases, Redemptions and Exchanges of Fund Shares—Other Shareholder Information” in Appendix B to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Additional information about each Fund’s investment objectives and principal investment strategies may also be found in Appendix C to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. In each case, the investment objectives and principal investment strategies of the Acquiring Fund will apply following the Reorganization of the Acquired Fund.

 

Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund (Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Large Cap Growth Fund (Acquiring Fund)

 

There are no material differences between the investment objectives of the Funds. The Acquiring Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital and the Acquired Fund’s is long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks.

 

Under normal circumstances, the Acquiring Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities, or other investments with similar economic characteristics, of companies with large market capitalizations. Large capitalization companies are those companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which ranged from $1.226 billion to $406 billion as of September 30, 2006. Securities of companies whose market capitalizations no longer meet this definition after purchase by the Acquiring Fund still will be considered securities of large capitalization companies for purposes of the Acquiring Fund’s 80% investment policy. Equity securities include U.S. exchange traded and over-the-counter common stocks, debt securities convertible into equity securities, and warrants and rights relating to equity securities.

 

The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in the securities of foreign issuers directly or in the form of depositary receipts representing an interest in those securities, up to 20% of its assets in money market instruments and/or cash to pay expenses and meet redemption requests and up to 20% of its assets in equity securities of companies with total market capitalizations below $5 billion.

 

The manager of the Acquiring Fund emphasizes individual security selection while diversifying the Acquiring Fund’s investments across industries, which may help to reduce risk. The manager attempts to identify established large capitalization companies with the highest growth potential. The manager then analyzes each company in detail, ranking its management, strategy and competitive market position. Finally, the manager attempts to identify the best values available among the growth companies identified.

 

In selecting individual companies for investment, the manager considers: favorable earnings prospects; technological innovation; industry dominance; competitive products and services; global scope; long-term operating history; consistent and sustainable long-term growth in dividends and earnings per share; strong cash flow; high return on equity; strong financial condition; and experienced and effective management.

 

Under normal circumstances, the Acquired Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of companies principally engaged in offering, using or developing products, processes or services that will provide or will benefit significantly from technological advances and improvements. These companies may include, for example, companies that develop, produce or distribute products or services in the computer, semi-conductor, software, electronics, media, communications, health care, and biotechnology sectors. The Acquired Fund may

 

90


invest its assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers. The Acquired Fund invests primarily in companies with medium and large market capitalizations. To a lesser extent, the Acquired Fund also may invest in common stocks of companies with small market capitalizations. Medium and large market capitalization companies are those companies with market capitalizations exceeding $5 billion at the time of initial investment by the Acquired Fund.

 

The Acquired Fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in companies doing business in the technology sector. The remainder of the Acquired Fund’s assets are not required to be invested in that sector. To determine whether a company is principally doing business in the sector, it must meet at least one of the following tests:

 

    At least 50% of its gross income or its net sales must come from activities in the sector;

 

    At least 50% of its assets must be devoted to producing revenues from the sector; or

 

    Based on other available information, the manager determines that the company’s primary business is within the sector.

 

In buying and selling securities, the Acquired Fund relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition and its industry position. Factors considered, among other things, include long-term growth potential, earnings estimates and quality of management.

 

Each Fund may lend its securities to earn income.

 

The Acquired Fund may, but need not, use derivative contracts, such as futures and options on securities, securities indices or currencies; options on these futures; forward currency contracts; and interest rate or currency swaps for any of the following purposes: (1) to hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market value of its securities, because of changes in stock market prices, currency exchange rates or interest rates, (2) to settle transactions in securities quoted in foreign currencies, (3) as a substitute for buying or selling securities and (4) as a cash flow management technique.

 

The primary differences between the Funds are as follows:

 

    The Acquired Fund focuses on mid-cap and large-cap companies in the technology sector, while the Acquiring Fund focuses on large-cap companies across business sectors;

 

    The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in the securities of foreign issuers directly while the Acquired Fund has no such restriction; and

 

    The Acquiring Fund is diversified while the Acquired Fund is non-diversified, which means that the Acquired Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer.

 

Risk Factors

 

The following summarizes the risks of investing in the Funds:

 

    U.S. stock markets decline or perform poorly relative to other types of investments;

 

    An adverse company specific event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, negatively affects the stock price of a company in which the Fund invests;

 

    Large capitalization stocks fall out of favor with investors;

 

    The manager’s judgment about the attractiveness, growth prospects or potential appreciation of a particular stock proves to be incorrect;

 

    Investments in securities of foreign issuers involve greater risk than investments in securities of United States issuers. Many foreign countries the Funds invest in have markets that are less liquid and more volatile than markets in the United States. In some foreign countries, less information is available about foreign issuers and markets because of less rigorous accounting and regulatory standards than in the United States. Currency fluctuations could erase investment gains or add to investment losses. The risks of investing in foreign securities are greater for securities of emerging market issuers because political or economic instability, lack of market liquidity, and negative government actions like currency controls or seizure of private businesses or property are more likely; and

 

    Generally, the value of fixed income obligations will decline if interest rates rise, the credit rating of the security is downgraded or the issuer defaults on its obligation to pay principal or interest.

 

91


The Acquired Fund is subject to the following additional risks:

 

    Technology companies can be significantly affected by obsolescence of existing technology, short product cycles, falling prices and profits, and competition from new market entrants. The technology sector may be subject to greater governmental regulation than many other areas, and changes in governmental policies and the need for regulatory approvals may have a material adverse effect on the sector. The performance of technology issuers may differ in direction and degree from that of the overall stock market;

 

    Smaller capitalized companies may involve greater risks such as limited product lines, markets and financial or managerial resources;

 

    The Acquired Fund is “non-diversified,” which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in one issuer than a diversified fund. To the extent the Acquired Fund concentrates its assets in fewer issuers, the Acquired Fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers;

 

    The Acquired Fund’s investments are spread across the sector on which it focuses. However, because those investments are limited to a comparatively narrow segment of the economy, the Acquired Fund’s investments are not as diversified as most mutual funds, and far less diversified than the broad securities markets. This means that the Acquired Fund tends to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the values of its portfolio investments tend to increase and decrease more rapidly. As a result, the value of your investment in the Acquired Fund may rise or fall rapidly; and

 

    Even a small investment in derivative contracts can have a big impact on a fund’s stock market, currency and interest rate exposure. Therefore, using derivatives can disproportionately increase losses and reduce opportunities for gains when stock prices, currency rates or interest rates are changing. The Acquired Fund may not fully benefit from or may lose money on derivatives if changes in their value do not correspond accurately to changes in the value of the Acquired Fund’s holdings. The other parties to certain derivative contracts present the same types of credit risk as issuers of fixed income securities. Derivatives can also make a fund less liquid and harder to value, especially in declining markets.

 

Fundamental Investment Restrictions

 

Shareholders of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds will be asked in a separate proxy statement to approve revised fundamental investment policies for their Funds, which are set forth below. The Boards of the Funds have unanimously adopted, and recommended that shareholders approve, a uniform set of fundamental investment policies that cover certain broad topics as to which mutual funds, such as the Funds, must have policies that may be changed only with shareholder approval. In connection with this proposal, the Boards have also approved the elimination, or the reclassification as non-fundamental, of all other investment policies that are not required to be classified as fundamental, and the redesignation of the investment objectives of certain Funds as non-fundamental, which means they could be changed without shareholder approval.

 

Comparisons between Fundamental Investment Restrictions

 

If shareholders of a Fund approve the proposed changes to the Fund’s fundamental investment restrictions, the Fund’s current fundamental investment restrictions with respect to borrowing, underwriting the securities of other issuers, lending money or other assets, issuing senior securities, purchasing or selling real estate, purchasing or selling commodities or contracts related to commodities and concentrating in a particular industry will be replaced by the new policies. Management of the Funds believes that adoption of the new policies will have no material effect on the manner in which the Funds are managed.

 

The following table lists (1) the current fundamental investment restrictions for the Acquired Fund, (2) the current fundamental investment restrictions for the Acquiring Fund and (3) proposed changes to the fundamental investment restrictions that will be voted on by shareholders of the Funds, but in a separate proxy statement. Identical proposed fundamental investment restrictions are being voted on by shareholders of the Acquiring Fund, so that if (1) shareholders of the Acquired Fund approve the Reorganization and (2) shareholders of the Acquiring Fund approve their proposed fundamental investment restrictions, shareholders of the Acquired Fund will become shareholders of a Fund with the same fundamental investment restrictions as are being proposed for their Fund. Following the table is an explanation of certain differences between (1) the Acquired Fund’s current fundamental investment restrictions and the proposed fundamental investment restrictions and (2) the Acquired Fund’s and the Acquiring Fund’s investment restrictions should shareholders of the Funds not approve the proposed changes to the fundamental investment restrictions.

     The Fund may not:    The Fund may not:     
Diversification:    The Fund is non-diversified.    Invest in a manner that would cause it to fail to be a “diversified company” under the 1940 Act and the rules, regulations and orders thereunder.   

No restriction.

 

If shareholders of the Acquiring Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy requiring diversification will be eliminated. Despite this change, the Acquiring Fund’s status as a diversified fund will continue to be changeable only with the approval of the Fund’s shareholders.

Borrowing:    Borrow money, except that (a) the Fund may borrow from banks for temporary or emergency (not leveraging) purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests which might otherwise require the untimely disposition of securities, and (b) the Fund may, to the extent consistent with its investment policies, enter into reverse repurchase agreements, forward roll transactions and similar investment strategies and techniques. To the extent that it engages in transactions described in (a) and (b), the Fund will be limited so that no more than 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed), valued at the lesser of cost or market, less liabilities (not including the amount borrowed) valued at the time the borrowing is made, is derived from such transactions.    Borrow money, except that (a) the Fund may borrow from banks for temporary or emergency (not leveraging) purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests which might otherwise require the untimely disposition of securities, and (b) the Fund may, to the extent consistent with its investment policies, enter into reverse repurchase agreements, forward roll transactions and similar investment strategies and techniques. To the extent that it engages in transactions described in (a) and (b), the Fund will be limited so that no more than 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed), valued at the lesser of cost or market, less liabilities (not including the amount borrowed), is derived from such transactions.   

The Fund may not borrow money except as permitted by (i) the 1940 Act or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

 

The 1940 Act generally permits a fund to borrow money in amounts of up to one-third of the fund’s total assets from banks for any purpose, and to borrow up to 5% of the fund’s total assets from banks or other lenders for temporary purposes. Certain trading practices and investments, such as reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and certain derivatives, may be considered to be borrowing and thus subject to the 1940 Act restrictions. On the other hand, certain practices and investments may involve leverage but are not considered to be borrowing.

     The Fund may not:    The Fund may not:     
Underwriting:    Engage in the business of underwriting securities issued by other persons, except to the extent that the Fund may technically be deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), in disposing of portfolio securities.    Engage in the business of underwriting securities issued by other persons, except to the extent that the Fund may technically be deemed to be an underwriter under the 1933 Act in disposing of portfolio securities.   

The Fund may not engage in the business of underwriting the securities of other issuers except as permitted by (i) the 1940 Act or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

 

The 1940 Act generally permits a fund to have underwriting commitments of up to 25% of its assets under certain circumstances. Currently, the Funds are not permitted to engage in the business of underwriting.

Lending:    Make loans. This restriction does not apply to: (a) the purchase of debt obligations in which the Fund may invest consistent with its investments objectives and policies; (b) repurchase agreements; and (c) loans of its portfolio securities, to the fullest extent permitted under the 1940 Act.    Make loans. This restriction does not apply to: (a) the purchase of debt obligations in which the Fund may invest consistent with its investments objectives and policies; (b) repurchase agreements; and (c) loans of its portfolio securities, to the fullest extent permitted under the 1940 Act.   

The Fund may lend money or other assets to the extent permitted by (i) the 1940 Act or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

 

The 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from making loans; however, SEC staff interpretations currently prohibit funds from lending more than one-third of their total assets, except through the purchase of debt obligations or the use of repurchase agreements. (A repurchase agreement is an agreement to purchase a security, coupled with an agreement to sell that security back to the original seller on an agreed-upon date at a price that generally depends on current interest rates. The SEC frequently treats repurchase agreements as loans.)

     The Fund may not:    The Fund may not:     
Senior Securities:    Issue “senior securities” as defined in the 1940 Act and the rules, regulations and orders thereunder, except as permitted under the 1940 Act and the rules, regulations and orders thereunder.    Issue “senior securities” as defined in the 1940 Act and the rules, regulations and orders thereunder, except as permitted under the 1940 Act and the rules, regulations and orders thereunder.   

The Fund may not issue senior securities except as permitted by (i) the 1940 Act or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

 

Senior securities are generally defined as fund obligations that have a priority over the fund’s shares with respect to the payment of dividends or distribution of fund assets. The 1940 Act prohibits a fund from issuing senior securities except that it generally permits a fund to borrow from banks for any purpose in amounts up to one-third of the fund’s total assets and to borrow up to 5% of the fund’s total assets from any source for temporary purposes. A fund’s temporary borrowings not exceeding 5% of its total assets are not considered senior securities.

Real Estate:    Purchase or sell real estate or real estate mortgages, but this restriction shall not prevent the portfolio from (a) investing in securities of issuers engaged in the real estate business or the business of investing in real estate and securities which are secured by real estate or interests therein; (b) holding or selling real estate received in connection with securities it holds or held; or (c) investing in real estate investment trust securities.    Purchase or sell real estate or real estate mortgages, but this restriction shall not prevent the portfolio from (a) investing in securities of issuers engaged in the real estate business or the business of investing in real estate and securities which are secured by real estate or interests therein; (b) holding or selling real estate received in connection with securities it holds or held; or (c) investing in real estate investment trust securities.   

The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate except as permitted by (i) the 1940 Act or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

 

The 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from owning real estate; however, a mutual fund is limited in the amount of illiquid assets it may purchase (real estate is generally considered illiquid).

The 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from owning commodities, whether physical commodities and contracts related to physical commodities (such as oil or grains and related futures contracts), or financial commodities and contracts related to financial commodities (such as currencies and, possibly, currency futures). However, a mutual fund is limited in the amount of illiquid assets it may purchase (certain commodities (especially physical commodities) may be considered to be illiquid).

Concentration:    Purchase or sell the securities of any issuer, if, as a result of such purchase or sale, less than 25% of the assets of the Fund would be invested in the securities of issuers principally engaged in business activities having the specific characteristics denoted by the Fund.    Invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities, the issuers of which conduct their business activities in the same industry. For purposes of this limitation, securities of the U.S. government (including its agencies and instrumentalities) and securities of state or municipal governments and their political subdivisions are not considered to be issued by members of any industry.   

Reorganization Approved: Except as permitted by exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, the Fund may not make any investment if, as a result, the Fund’s investments will be concentrated in any one industry.

Reorganization Rejected: Acquired Fund’s investment restriction remains the same.

 

While the 1940 Act does not define what constitutes “concentration” in an industry, the SEC has taken the position that investment of 25% or more of a fund’s total assets in one or more issuers conducting their principal activities in the same industry constitutes concentration. It is possible that interpretations of concentration could change in the future.

Comparison between the Acquired Fund’s Current and Proposed Fundamental Investment Restrictions

 

The actual investment practices of the Acquired Fund would not be expected to change as a result of the revised policies. However, these practices could change in the future and for various reasons (for instance, a change in the 1940 Act could result in an investment practice that would not be permitted under the current investment restrictions to be permitted under the proposed investment restrictions).

 

The primary differences between the Acquired Fund’s current and proposed fundamental investment restrictions are as follows:

 

    The Acquired Fund’s current restriction on borrowing permits the Acquired Fund to borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes. The proposed restriction would allow the Acquired Fund to borrow under other circumstances as permissible under the 1940 Act or pursuant to specific SEC guidance.

 

    The Acquired Fund’s investment objectives are fundamental as defined under the 1940 Act, while under the proposed restrictions the investment objectives would not be fundamental.

 

Comparison between the Acquired Fund’s and the Acquiring Fund’s Current Fundamental Investment Restrictions

 

The primary differences between the two Funds with respect to their fundamental investment restrictions, should shareholders of the Funds not approve the proposed changes to the fundamental investment restrictions, are as follows:

 

    The Acquired Fund must maintain 25% or more of its assets in the technology industry, while the Acquiring Fund may not invest more than 25% of its assets in securities of companies which principally operate within one industry.

 

    The Acquiring Fund requires that it be “diversified” under the 1940 Act, while the Acquired Fund is non-diversified under the 1940 Act, which means that it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in an issuer than the Acquiring Fund.

 

Legg Mason Partners National Municipals Fund (Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. (Acquiring Fund)

 

There are no material differences between the investment objectives of the Funds. The Acquiring Fund seeks to maximize current interest income that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes to the extent consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital. The Acquired Fund seeks as high a level of income exempt from regular federal income tax as is consistent with prudent investing.

 

As a matter of fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, each Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities (or other investments with similar economic characteristics in the case of the Acquiring Fund), the income from which is exempt from regular federal income tax. As a result, the interest rate on these securities normally is lower than it would be if the securities were subject to regular federal income taxation. Each Fund considers any investments in municipal obligations that pay interest subject to the federal AMT as part of the 80% of the Fund’s assets that must be invested in municipal securities. Municipal securities include securities issued by any of the 50 states and certain other municipal issuers, political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities, which pay interest that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes.

 

The Acquiring Fund focuses primarily on intermediate-term and long-term municipal securities that have remaining maturities at the time of purchase of from three to more than 30 years. The Acquiring Fund can invest up to 20% of its assets in bonds rated below investment grade or in unrated securities determined to be of equivalent quality by the manager (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Investment grade bonds are those rated in any of the four highest long-term rating categories, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the manager.

 

The Acquiring Fund may, but need not, use derivative contracts, such as financial futures and options on financial futures, for any of the following purposes:

 

    To hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market value of portfolio securities because of changes in interest rates

 

    As a substitute for buying or selling securities

 

    As a cash flow management technique

 

98


The Acquired Fund may invest in municipal securities of varying maturities, but typically focuses on municipal securities that have remaining maturities at the time of purchase of from five to more than 30 years. The Acquired Fund invests exclusively in municipal securities that are rated investment grade at the time of purchase or are of comparable quality if unrated. At least two-thirds of the municipal securities must be rated, at the time of purchase, within the three highest investment grade rating categories.

 

The Acquired Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in debt securities which are issued or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. These securities will generally be subject to federal taxation and may be subject to state taxation. The Acquired Fund may invest in inverse floating rate securities. These securities pay interest at a rate which moves in the opposite direction from movements in market interest rates.

 

The manager of each Fund selects securities primarily by identifying undervalued sectors and individual securities, while also selecting securities it believes will benefit from changes in market conditions. In selecting individual securities, the manager:

 

    Uses fundamental credit analysis to estimate the relative value and attractiveness of various securities and sectors and to exploit opportunities in the municipal bond market

 

    May trade between general obligation and revenue bonds and among various revenue bond sectors, such as housing, hospital and industrial development, based on their apparent relative values

 

    Considers the yield available for securities with different maturities and a security’s maturity in light of the outlook for the issuer, its sector and interest rates (and in the case of the Acquiring Fund, also measures the potential impact of supply/demand imbalances for obligations of different states) to identify individual securities that balance potential risk and return

 

    Identifies individual securities with the most potential for added value, such as those involving unusual situations, new issuers, the potential for credit upgrades, unique structural characteristics or innovative features

 

The primary differences between the Funds are as follows:

 

    At least two-thirds of the municipal securities held by the Acquired Fund must be rated, at the time of purchase, within the three highest investment grade rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, while the Acquiring Fund requires that at least 80% of the municipal securities held by the Acquiring Fund be rated in the four highest long-term rating categories, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the manager.

 

    The Acquired Fund invests exclusively in municipal securities that are rated investment grade at the time of purchase or are of comparable quality if unrated, while the Acquiring Fund requires 80% of its assets to be invested in accordance with such restriction.

 

    The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in junk bonds while the Acquired Fund may not.

 

Risk Factors

 

The following summarizes the risks of investing in the Funds:

 

    Interest rates rise, causing the value of the Fund’s portfolio to decline;

 

    The issuer of a security owned by the Fund defaults on its obligation to pay principal and/or interest or the security’s credit rating is downgraded;

 

    Municipal securities fall out of favor with investors;

 

    Unfavorable legislation affects the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds;

 

    The manager’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or income potential of a particular security proves to be incorrect;

 

    It is possible that some of the Fund’s income distributions may be, and distributions of the Fund’s gains generally will be, subject to federal income tax. The Fund may realize taxable gains on the sale of its securities or on transactions in derivatives. Some of the Fund’s income may be subject to the AMT. In addition, distributions of the Fund’s income and gains will generally be subject to state and local income and franchise taxes; and

 

99


    The Fund purchases municipal securities the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel, is exempt from federal income tax. Neither the manager nor the Fund guarantees that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with bond counsel’s opinion. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become subject to federal income tax, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued, the value of the security could decline significantly and distributions to Fund shareholders could be recharacterized as taxable.

 

The Acquiring Fund is subject to the following additional risks:

 

    Below investment grade securities, also known as “junk bonds,” are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and/or principal, involve a high risk of loss and are susceptible to default or decline in market value because of adverse economic and business developments. The market value for these securities tends to be very volatile, and many of these securities are less liquid than investment grade debt securities; and

 

    Even a small investment in derivatives can have a big impact on the Acquiring Fund’s interest rate exposure. Therefore, using derivatives can disproportionately increase losses and reduce opportunities for gains when interest rates are changing. The Acquiring Fund may not fully benefit from or may lose money on derivatives if changes in their value do not correspond accurately to changes in the value of the Acquiring Fund’s holdings. The other parties to certain derivatives present the same types of default risk as issuers of fixed income securities. Derivatives can also make the Acquiring Fund less liquid and harder to value, especially in declining markets.

 

The Acquired Fund is subject to the following additional risks:

 

    Inverse floaters and futures are volatile and involve leverage which may expose the Acquired Fund to increased risk of loss. Therefore, using futures or inverse floaters can disproportionately increase losses and reduce opportunities for gains when interest rates are changing. The Acquired Fund may not fully benefit from or may lose money on futures contracts used for hedging purposes if changes in their value do not correspond as anticipated to changes in the value of the Acquired Fund’s holdings. Futures and inverse floaters can also make a fund less liquid and harder to value, especially in declining markets.

 

Comparison between Fundamental Investment Restrictions

 

If shareholders of a Fund approve the proposed changes to the Fund’s fundamental investment restrictions, the Fund’s current fundamental investment restrictions with respect to borrowing, underwriting the securities of other issuers, lending money or other assets, issuing senior securities, purchasing or selling real estate, purchasing or selling commodities or contracts related to commodities and concentrating in a particular industry will be replaced by the new policies. Management of the Fund’s believes that adoption of the new policies will have no material effect on the manner in which the Funds are managed.

 

The following table lists (1) the current fundamental investment restrictions for the Acquired Fund, (2) the current fundamental investment restrictions for the Acquiring Fund and (3) the proposed changes to the fundamental investment restrictions that will be voted on by shareholders of the Fund, but in a separate proxy statement. Identical proposed fundamental investment restrictions are being voted on by shareholders of the Acquiring Fund so that if (1) shareholders of the Acquired Fund approve the Reorganization and (2) shareholders of the Acquiring Fund approve their proposed fundamental investment restrictions, shareholders of the Acquired Fund will become shareholders of a Fund with the same fundamental investment restrictions as are being proposed for their Fund. Following the table is an explanation of certain differences between (1) the Acquired Fund’s current fundamental investment restrictions and the proposed fundamental investment restrictions and (2) the Acquired Fund’s and the Acquiring Fund’s fundamental investment restrictions should shareholders of the Funds not approve the proposed changes to such restrictions.

The 1940 Act generally permits a fund to borrow money in amounts of up to one-third of the fund’s total assets from banks for any purpose, and to borrow up to 5% of the fund’s total assets from banks or other lenders for temporary purposes. Certain trading practices and investments, such as reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and certain derivatives, may be considered to be borrowing and thus subject to the 1940 Act restrictions. On the other hand, certain practices and investments may involve leverage but are not considered to be borrowing.

The 1940 Act generally permits a fund to have underwriting commitments of up to 25% of its assets under certain circumstances. Currently, the Funds are not permitted to engage in the business of underwriting.

Lending:    Make loans.

The 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from making loans; however, SEC staff interpretations currently prohibit funds from lending more than one-third of their total assets, except through the purchase of debt obligations or the use of repurchase agreements. (A repurchase agreement is an agreement to purchase a security, coupled with an agreement to sell that security back to the original seller on an agreed-upon date at a price that generally depends on current interest rates. The SEC frequently treats repurchase agreements as loans.)

Senior securities are generally defined as fund obligations that have a priority over the fund’s shares with respect to the payment of dividends or distribution of fund assets. The 1940 Act prohibits a fund from issuing senior securities except that it generally permits a fund to borrow from banks for any purpose in amounts up to one-third of the fund’s total assets and to borrow up to 5% of the fund’s total assets from any source for temporary purposes. A fund’s temporary borrowings not exceeding 5% of its total assets are not considered senior securities.

Except as permitted by exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, the Fund may not make any investment if, as a result, the Fund’s investments will be concentrated in any one industry.

 

While the 1940 Act does not define what constitutes “concentration” in an industry, the SEC has taken the position that investment of 25% or more of a fund’s total assets in one or more issuers conducting their principal activities in the same industry constitutes concentration.

The actual investment practices of the Acquired Fund would not be expected to change as a result of the revised policies. However, these practices could change in the future and for various reasons (for instance, a change in the 1940 Act could result in an investment practice that would not be permitted under the current investment restrictions to be permitted under the proposed investment restrictions).

 

The primary differences between the Acquired Fund’s current and proposed fundamental investment restrictions are as follows:

 

    The Acquired Fund’s current restriction on borrowing permits the Acquired Fund to borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes. The proposed restriction would allow the Acquired Fund to borrow under other circumstances as permissible under the 1940 Act or pursuant to specific SEC guidance.

 

    If approved by shareholders of the Acquired Fund, these proposals would result in the elimination of the fundamental policy requiring the Fund to operate as a “diversified” company under the 1940 Act. However, this difference has no practical effect because under the 1940 Act a shareholder vote is required to change a Fund’s status from diversified to non-diversified.

 

    The Acquired Fund’s investment objectives are fundamental as defined under the 1940 Act, while under the proposed restrictions the investment objectives would not be fundamental.

 

Comparison between the Acquired Fund’s Current Fundamental Investment Restrictions and the Acquiring Fund’s Current Fundamental Investment Restrictions

 

There are no material differences between each Fund’s current fundamental investment restrictions.

 

Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund (Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. (Acquiring Fund)

 

There are material differences between the investment objectives of the Funds. The Acquiring Fund seeks to maximize current interest income that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes to the extent consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital. The Acquired Fund seeks to maximize total return, consistent with the preservation of capital. The Acquiring Fund’s investment objective is a fundamental policy while the Acquired Fund’s is not. As a result, the Acquiring Fund may change its investment objective only with shareholder approval.

 

As a matter of fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Acquiring Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities or other investments with similar economic characteristics, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income tax. The Acquiring Fund considers any investments in municipal obligations that pay interest subject to the federal AMT as part of the 80% of the Fund’s assets that must be invested in municipal securities. Municipal securities include securities issued by any of the 50 states and certain other municipal issuers, political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities, which pay interest that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes. The Acquiring Fund focuses primarily on intermediate-term and long-term municipal securities that have remaining maturities at the time of purchase of from three to more than 30 years. The Acquiring Fund can invest up to 20% of its assets in bonds rated below investment grade or in unrated securities determined to be of equivalent quality by the manager (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Investment grade bonds are those rated in any of the four highest long-term rating categories, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the manager.

 

The manager of the Acquiring Fund selects securities primarily by identifying undervalued sectors and individual securities, while also selecting securities it believes will benefit from changes in market conditions. In selecting individual securities, the manager:

 

    Uses fundamental credit analysis to estimate the relative value and attractiveness of various securities and sectors and to exploit opportunities in the municipal bond market

 

    May trade between general obligation and revenue bonds and among various revenue bond sectors, such as housing, hospital and industrial development, based on their apparent relative values

 

    Considers the yield available for securities with different maturities and a security’s maturity in light of the outlook for the issuer, its sector and interest rates, and in the case of the Acquiring Fund, also measures the potential impact of supply/demand imbalances for obligations of different states

 

106


    Identifies individual securities with the most potential for added value, such as those involving unusual situations, new issuers, the potential for credit upgrades, unique structural characteristics or innovative features

 

The Acquired Fund invests primarily in investment grade municipal obligations issued by a variety of states and localities that pay interest that is exempt from federal income taxes, including the AMT. These obligations may include obligations of Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories. Under normal market conditions, the Acquired Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal obligations that pay interest that is exempt from federal personal income taxes, including the AMT. The Acquired Fund may invest directly in municipal obligations or in participation or other interests in municipal obligations.

 

Subject to the 80% policy, the Acquired Fund may also invest in municipal obligations that are exempt from federal personal income taxes but that are subject to the AMT. Although the Acquired Fund seeks to minimize risk by investing in municipal securities from a number of different states and localities, the Acquired Fund may, from time to time, invest over 25% of its assets in municipal securities from one state or region. The Acquired Fund may also invest in short-term debt securities that pay interest that is subject to federal personal income taxes.

 

The Acquired Fund may invest in obligations with any maturity. However, the Acquired Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity is normally expected to be in a long-term range (between 10 and 30 years). For strategic purposes, however, the Acquired Fund may invest so that the dollar-weighted average maturity of the securities held by the Acquired Fund is under 10 years.

 

When selecting securities for the Acquired Fund and managing the portfolio, the manager looks for both income and potential for gain. The Acquired Fund is managed using a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis. The manager decides which securities to purchase by first developing an interest rate forecast and analysis of general economic conditions throughout the United States. Then the manager compares specific regions and sectors to identify broad segments of the municipal market poised to benefit in this environment. The manager also closely studies the yields and other characteristics of specific issues to identify attractive opportunities. The manager uses a geographically diversified approach, seeking a portfolio of bonds representing a wide range of sectors, maturities and regions. The manager uses this same approach when deciding which securities to sell. Securities are sold when the Acquired Fund needs cash to meet redemptions, or when the manager believes that better opportunities exist or that the security no longer fits within the manager’s overall strategies for achieving the Acquired Fund’s investment objective.

 

Each Fund may, but need not, use derivative contracts, such as financial futures and options on financial futures, for any of the following purposes:

 

    To hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market value of portfolio securities because of changes in interest rates

 

    As a substitute for buying or selling securities

 

The Acquiring Fund may also use derivative contracts as a cash flow management technique while the Acquired Fund may also use derivative contracts to enhance the Fund’s return as a non-hedging strategy that may be considered speculative.

 

The primary differences between the Funds are as follows:

 

    The Acquired Fund may not invest more than 20% of its assets in securities that pay interest subject to AMT, while the Acquiring Fund has no limitation on the portion of its investments that may be invested in securities that pay interest subject to AMT.

 

    The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in junk bonds while the Acquired Fund may not.

 

    The Acquired Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity is normally expected to be in a long-term range (between ten and thirty years), while the Acquiring Fund focuses primarily on intermediate-term and long-term municipal securities that have remaining maturities at the time of purchase of between three and thirty years.

 

    The Acquiring Fund is diversified, while the Acquired Fund is non-diversified, which means that the Acquired Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer.

 

107


Risk Factors

 

The following summarizes the risks of investing in the Funds:

 

    Interest rates rise, causing the value of the Fund’s portfolio to decline;

 

    The issuer of a security owned by the Fund defaults on its obligation to pay principal and/or interest or the security’s credit rating is downgraded;

 

    Municipal securities fall out of favor with investors;

 

    Unfavorable legislation affects the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds;

 

    The manager’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or income potential of a particular security proves to be incorrect;

 

    It is possible that some of the Fund’s income distributions may be, and distributions of the Fund’s gains generally will be, subject to federal income tax. The Fund may realize taxable gains on the sale of its securities or on transactions in derivatives. Some of the Fund’s income may be subject to the AMT. In addition, distributions of the Fund’s income and gains will generally be subject to state and local income and franchise taxes; and

 

    Even a small investment in derivatives can have a big impact on the Fund’s interest rate exposure. Therefore, using derivatives can disproportionately increase losses and reduce opportunities for gains when interest rates are changing. The Fund may not fully benefit from or may lose money on derivatives if changes in their value do not correspond accurately to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings. The other parties to certain derivatives present the same types of default risk as issuers of fixed income securities. Derivatives can also make the Fund less liquid and harder to value, especially in declining markets.

 

The Acquiring Fund is subject to the following additional risks:

 

    Below investment grade securities, also known as “junk bonds,” are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and/or principal, involve a high risk of loss and are susceptible to default or decline in market value because of adverse economic and business developments. The market value for these securities tends to be very volatile, and many of these securities are less liquid than investment grade debt securities; and

 

    The Acquiring Fund purchases municipal securities the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel, is exempt from federal income tax. Neither the manager nor the Acquiring Fund guarantees that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with bond counsel’s opinion. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become subject to federal income tax, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued, the value of the security could decline significantly and distributions to Acquiring Fund shareholders could be recharacterized as taxable.

 

The Acquired Fund also discloses additional risks in its prospectus to which it is subject; the Acquiring Fund is also subject to these risks. The risks are as follows:

 

    During periods of declining interest rates, the issuer of a security prepays principal earlier than scheduled, forcing the Acquired Fund to reinvest in lower yielding securities. This is known as call or prepayment risk;

 

    During periods of rising interest rates, the average life of certain types of securities is extended because of fewer than expected principal prepayments. This may lock in a below market interest rate, increase the securities’ duration and reduce the value of a security. This is known as extension risk;

 

    The Acquired Fund invests new cash or the proceeds from matured, traded or called bonds at market interest rates that are below the portfolio’s current earnings rate;

 

    The Acquired Fund may invest in certain municipal derivatives that may be subject to unresolved tax, legal, regulatory and accounting issues;

 

    The national economy and the economies of many of the states have experienced downturns with decreasing revenues and budget shortfalls. Local governments are experiencing difficulties as states facing declining revenues and in some cases reduced federal aid have in turn curtailed aid to local governments. These and other factors may affect the market value of municipal obligations held by the Acquired Fund, the marketability of such obligations, and the ability of municipal issuers to make timely payments of interest and principal;

 

108


    Municipal obligations include municipal lease obligations, which may present special risks, because the municipal issuer may not be obligated to appropriate money to make required payments on the obligations. Although such obligations are typically secured by the leased property, the leased property may be hard to sell, or if sold, may not cover fully the Acquired Fund’s exposure;

 

    The secondary market for municipal obligations may be less liquid than for most taxable fixed income securities which may limit the Acquired Fund’s ability to buy and sell these obligations at times and prices the manager believes would be advantageous;

 

    There may be less information available about the financial condition of an issuer of municipal obligations than about issuers of other publicly traded securities;

 

    A significant portion of the Acquired Fund’s assets may be invested, from time to time, in municipal securities of issuers concentrated in a particular region or industry. The Acquired Fund may invest, from time to time, a significant portion of their assets in municipal obligations issued by Puerto Rico or other U.S. territories. Such securities may be adversely affected by factors particular to issuers located in those areas; and

 

    The Acquired Fund may borrow in certain limited circumstances. Certain borrowing may create an opportunity for increased return, but, at the same time, creates special risks. For example, borrowing may exaggerate changes in the net asset value of the Acquired Fund’s shares and in the return on the Acquired Fund’s portfolio. The Acquired Fund may be required to liquidate portfolio securities at a time when it would be disadvantageous to do so in order to make payments with respect to any borrowings. Interest on any borrowings will be a Fund expense and will reduce the value of the Fund’s shares.

 

Comparison between Fundamental Investment Restrictions

 

If shareholders of a Fund approve the proposed changes to the Fund’s fundamental investment restrictions, the Fund’s current fundamental investment restrictions with respect to borrowing, underwriting the securities of other issuers, lending money or other assets, issuing senior securities and purchasing or selling real estate, purchasing or selling commodities or contracts related to commodities will be replaced by the new policies. Management of the Funds believes that adoption of the new policies will have no material effect on the manner in which the Funds are managed.

 

The following table lists (1) the current fundamental investment restrictions for the Acquired Fund, (2) the current fundamental investment restrictions for the Acquiring Fund and (3) the proposed changes to the fundamental investment restrictions that will be voted on by shareholders of the Funds, but in a separate proxy statement. Identical proposed fundamental investment restrictions are being voted on by shareholders of the Acquiring Fund so that if (1) shareholders of the Acquired Fund approve the Reorganization and (2) shareholders of the Acquiring Fund approve their proposed fundamental investment restrictions, shareholders of the Acquired Fund will become shareholders of a Fund with the same fundamental investment restrictions as are being proposed for their Fund. Following the table is an explanation of certain differences between (1) the Acquired Fund’s current fundamental investment restrictions and the proposed fundamental investment restrictions and (2) the Acquired Fund’s and the Acquiring Fund’s fundamental investment restrictions should shareholders of the Funds not approve the proposed changes to such restrictions.

     The Fund may not:    The Fund may not:     
Diversification:    The Fund is non-diversified.    Invest in a manner that would cause it to fail to be a “diversified company” under the 1940 Act and the rules, regulations and orders thereunder.   

No restriction.

 

If shareholders of the Acquiring Fund approve this proposal, the Fund’s current fundamental policy requiring diversification will be eliminated. Despite this change, the Acquiring Fund’s status as a diversified fund will continue to be changeable only with the approval of the Fund’s shareholders.

 

Borrowing:    Borrow money, except that as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes it may borrow in an amount not to exceed 1/3 of the current value of its net assets, including the amount borrowed or purchase any securities at any time at which borrowings exceed 5% of the total assets of the Fund, taken at market value (it is intended that the Fund would borrow money only from banks and only to accommodate requests for the repurchase of shares of the Fund while effecting an orderly liquidation of portfolio securities). For purposes of this restriction, arrangements with respect to securities lending are not treated as borrowing.    Borrow money, except that (a) the Fund may borrow from banks for temporary or emergency (not leveraging) purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests which might otherwise require the untimely disposition of securities, and (b) the Fund may, to the extent consistent with its investment policies, enter into reverse repurchase agreements, forward roll transactions and similar investment strategies and techniques. To the extent that it engages in transactions described in (a) and (b), the Fund will be limited so that no more than 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed), valued at the lesser of cost or market, less liabilities (not including the amount borrowed) is derived from such transactions.   

The Fund may not borrow money except as permitted by (i) the 1940 Act or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

 

The 1940 Act generally permits a fund to borrow money in amounts of up to one-third of the fund’s total assets from banks for any purpose, and to borrow up to 5% of the fund’s total assets from banks or other lenders for temporary purposes. Certain trading practices and investments, such as reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and certain derivatives, may be considered to be borrowing and thus subject to the 1940 Act restrictions. On the other hand, certain practices and investments may involve leverage but are not considered to be borrowing.

Underwriting:   

Underwrite securities issued by other persons except that all or any portion of the assets of the Fund may be invested in one or more investment companies, to the extent not prohibited by the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations thereunder, and exemptive orders granted under such Act, and except insofar as the Fund may technically be deemed an underwriter under the 1933 Act in selling a security.

  

Engage in the business of underwriting securities issued by other persons, except to the extent that the Fund may technically be deemed to be an underwriter under the 1933 Act in disposing of portfolio securities.

  

The Fund may not engage in the business of underwriting the securities of other issuers except as permitted by (i) the 1940 Act or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

 

The 1940 Act generally permits a fund to have underwriting commitments of up to 25% of its assets under certain circumstances. Currently, certain Funds are not permitted to underwrite the securities of others, and certain other Funds are not permitted to engage in the business of underwriting.

Lending:    Make loans to other persons except (a) through the lending of its portfolio securities and provided that any such loans not exceed 30% of the Fund’s total assets (taken at market value), (b) through the use of repurchase agreements or fixed time deposits or the purchase of short-term obligations, or (c) by purchasing all or a portion of an issue of debt securities of types commonly distributed privately to financial institutions (the purchase of short-term commercial paper or a portion of an issue of debt securities which is part of an issue to the public shall not be considered the making of a loan).    Make loans. This restriction does not apply to: (a) the purchase of debt obligations in which the Fund may invest consistent with its investment objectives and policies; (b) repurchase agreements; and (c) loans of its portfolio securities, to the fullest extent permitted under the 1940 Act.   

The Fund may lend money or other assets to the extent permitted by (i) the 1940 Act or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

 

The 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from making loans; however, SEC staff interpretations currently prohibit funds from lending more than one-third of their total assets, except through the purchase of debt obligations or the use of repurchase agreements. (A repurchase agreement is an agreement to purchase a security, coupled with an agreement to sell that security back to the original seller on an agreed-upon date at a price that generally depends on current interest rates. The SEC frequently treats repurchase agreements as loans.)

     The Fund may not:    The Fund may not:     
Senior Securities:   

Issue any senior security (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) if such issuance is specifically prohibited by the 1940 Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

  

Issue “senior securities” as defined in the 1940 Act and the rules, regulations and orders thereunder, except as permitted under the 1940 Act and the rules, regulations and orders thereunder.

  

The Fund may not issue senior securities except as permitted by (i) the 1940 Act or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

 

Senior securities are generally defined as fund obligations that have a priority over the fund’s shares with respect to the payment of dividends or distribution of fund assets. The 1940 Act prohibits a fund from issuing senior securities except that it generally permits a fund to borrow from banks for any purpose in amounts up to one-third of the fund’s total assets and to borrow up to 5% of the fund’s total assets from any source for temporary purposes. A fund’s temporary borrowings not exceeding 5% of its total assets are not considered senior securities.

Real Estate:    Purchase or sell real estate (including limited partnership interests but excluding securities secured by real estate or interests therein) in the ordinary course of business (and the Fund reserves the freedom of action to hold and to sell real estate acquired as a result of the ownership of securities by the Fund). For purposes of this investment restriction, the Fund also may purchase and sell securities issued by companies that invest or deal in real estate or real estate investment trusts.    Purchase or sell real estate or real estate mortgages, but this restriction shall not prevent the portfolio from (a) investing in securities of issuers engaged in the real estate business or the business of investing in real estate and securities which are secured by real estate or interests therein; (b) holding or selling real estate received in connection with securities it holds or held; or (c) investing in real estate investment trust securities.   

The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate except as permitted by (i) the 1940 Act or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

 

The 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from owning real estate; however, a mutual fund is limited in the amount of illiquid assets it may purchase (real estate is generally considered illiquid).

Commodities:    Purchase or sell interests in oil, gas or mineral leases, commodities or commodity contracts in the ordinary course of business (the foregoing shall not be deemed to preclude the Fund from purchasing or selling futures contracts or options thereon).    Purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts, but this restriction shall not prevent the portfolio from trading in futures contracts and options on futures contracts (including options on currencies to the extent consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies).   

The Fund may purchase or sell commodities or contracts related to commodities to the extent permitted by (i) the 1940 Act or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

 

The 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from owning commodities, whether physical commodities and contracts related to physical commodities (such as oil or grains and related futures contracts), or financial commodities and contracts related to financial commodities (such as currencies and, possibly, currency futures). However, a mutual fund is limited in the amount of illiquid assets it may purchase (certain commodities (especially physical commodities) may be considered to be illiquid).

Concentration:    Concentrate its investments in any particular industry, but if it is deemed appropriate for the achievement of the Fund’s investment objective, up to 25% of its assets, at market value at the time of each investment, may be invested in any one industry, except that positions in futures contracts shall not be subject to this restriction.    Invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities, the issuers of which are in the same industry. For purposes of this limitation, U.S. Government Securities and securities of state or municipal governments and their political subdivisions are not considered to be issued by members of any industry. For purposes of this restriction, private activity bonds, where the payment of principal and interest is the ultimate responsibility of companies within the same industry, are grouped together as an “industry.”   

Except as permitted by exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, the Fund may not make any investment if, as a result, the Fund’s investments will be concentrated in any one industry.

 

While the 1940 Act does not define what constitutes “concentration” in an industry, the SEC has taken the position that investment of 25% or more of a fund’s total assets in one or more issuers conducting their principal activities in the same industry constitutes concentration. It is possible that interpretations of concentration could change in the future.

Comparison between the Acquired Fund’s Current and Proposed Fundamental Investment Restrictions

 

The actual investment practices of the Acquired Fund would not be expected to change as a result of the revised policies. However, these practices could change in the future and for various reasons (for instance, a change in the 1940 Act could result in an investment practice that would not be permitted under the current investment restrictions to be permitted under the proposed investment restrictions).

 

The primary difference between the Acquired Fund’s current and proposed fundamental investment restrictions is that the Acquired Fund is only permitted to borrow for temporary or emergency purposes or purchase securities at any time at which borrowings do not exceed 5% of the total assets of the Acquired Fund, taken at market value. The proposed restriction would allow the Acquired Fund to borrow as permitted under the 1940 Act or pursuant to specific SEC guidance.

 

Comparison between the Acquired Fund’s and the Acquiring Fund’s Current Fundamental Investment Restrictions

 

The primary differences between the two Funds with respect to their fundamental investment restrictions, should shareholders of the Funds not approve the proposed changes to the fundamental investment restrictions, are as follows:

 

    Both Funds are only permitted to borrow for temporary or emergency purposes; however, the Acquired Fund has an additional restriction that it may not purchase any securities at any time at which borrowings exceed 5% of the total assets of the Acquired Fund, taken at market value.

 

    The Acquiring Fund requires that it be “diversified” under the 1940 Act, while the Acquired Fund is non-diversified which means that the Acquired Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer.

 

    The Acquiring Fund considers any investments in municipal obligations that pay interest subject to the AMT as part of the 80% of the Fund’s assets to be invested in municipal securities, while the Acquired Fund can invest only up to 20% of its assets in municipal securities that pay interest subject to AMT.

 

    The Acquiring Fund’s investment objectives are fundamental as defined under the 1940 Act, while the Acquired Fund’s investment objectives are not. This means that the Acquired Fund’s investment objective can be changed without shareholder approval.

 

Legg Mason Partners Georgia Municipals Fund (Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. (Acquiring Fund)

 

There are material differences between the investment objectives of the Funds. While the Acquiring Fund seeks to maximize current interest income that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes to the extent consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital, the Acquired Fund seeks as high a level of income exempt from regular federal income taxes and Georgia personal income taxes as is consistent with prudent investing.

 

As a matter of fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Acquiring Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities or other investments with similar economic characteristics, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income tax. Each Fund considers any investments in municipal obligations that pay interest subject to the federal AMT as part of the 80% of the Fund’s assets that must be invested in municipal securities. Municipal securities include securities issued by any of the 50 states and certain other municipal issuers, political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities, which pay interest that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes. The Acquiring Fund focuses primarily on intermediate-term and long-term municipal securities that have remaining maturities at the time of purchase of from three to more than 30 years. The Acquiring Fund can invest up to 20% of its assets in bonds rated below investment grade or in unrated securities determined to be of equivalent quality by the manager (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Investment grade bonds are those rated in any of the four highest long-term rating categories, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the manager.

 

As a matter of fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Acquired Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in Georgia municipal securities. Georgia municipal securities include securities issued by the State of Georgia and certain other municipal issuers, political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities that pay interest that is exempt from regular federal income tax and Georgia state personal income taxes. The Acquired Fund focuses primarily on intermediate-term and long-term municipal securities which have remaining maturities at the time of purchase of from five to more than 30 years. The Acquired Fund invests exclusively in municipal securities that are rated investment grade at the time of purchase or are of

 

115


comparable quality if unrated. At least two-thirds of the municipal securities must be rated, at the time of purchase, within the three highest investment grade rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Acquired Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in municipal securities of non-Georgia issuers. These securities will generally be exempt from regular federal income taxes, but not Georgia income taxes. The Acquired Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in debt securities which are issued or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. These securities will be subject to federal taxation and may be subject to state taxation. The Acquired Fund may also invest in inverse floating rate securities.

 

The managers of the Funds select securities primarily by identifying undervalued sectors and individual securities, while also selecting securities they believe will benefit from changes in market conditions. In selecting individual securities, the manager:

 

    Uses fundamental credit analysis to estimate the relative value and attractiveness of various securities and sectors and to exploit opportunities in the municipal bond market

 

    May trade between general obligation and revenue bonds and among various revenue bond sectors, such as housing, hospital and industrial development, based on their apparent relative values

 

    Considers the yield available for securities with different maturities and a security’s maturity in light of the outlook for the issuer, its sector and interest rates, and in the case of the Acquiring Fund, also measures the potential impact of supply/demand imbalances for obligations of different states

 

    Identifies individual securities with the most potential for added value, such as those involving unusual situations, new issuers, the potential for credit upgrades, unique structural characteristics or innovative features

 

Each Fund may, but need not, use derivative contracts, such as financial futures and options on financial futures, for any of the following purposes:

 

    To hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market value of portfolio securities because of changes in interest rates

 

    As a substitute for buying or selling securities

 

    As a cash flow management technique

 

The primary differences between the Funds are as follows:

 

    The Acquired Fund has an 80% investment policy of investing in Georgia municipal securities while the Acquiring Fund invests in various states. Most of the Acquiring Fund’s income distributions are subject to Georgia income taxes.

 

    The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in junk bonds, while the Acquired Fund may not invest in junk bonds.

 

    The Acquiring Fund is diversified, while the Acquired Fund is non-diversified, which means that the Acquired Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer.

 

    At least two-thirds of the municipal securities held by the Acquired Fund must be rated, at the time of purchase, within the three highest investment grade rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, while the Acquiring Fund requires that at least 80% of the municipal securities held by the Acquiring Fund be rated in the four highest long-term rating categories, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the manager.

 

Risk Factors

 

The following summarizes the risks of investing in the Funds:

 

    Interest rates rise, causing the value of the Fund’s portfolio to decline;

 

    The issuer of a security owned by the Fund defaults on its obligation to pay principal and/or interest or the security’s credit rating is downgraded;

 

    Municipal securities fall out of favor with investors;

 

116


    Unfavorable legislation affects the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds;

 

    The manager’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or income potential of a particular security proves to be incorrect; and

 

    Using derivatives can disproportionately increase losses and reduce opportunities for gains when interest rates are changing. The Fund may not fully benefit from or may lose money on derivatives if changes in their value do not correspond accurately to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings. The other parties to certain derivatives present the same types of default risk as issuers of fixed income securities. Derivatives can also make the Fund less liquid and harder to value, especially in declining markets.

 

The Acquiring Fund is subject to the following additional risks:

 

    Below investment grade securities, also known as “junk bonds,” are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and/or principal, involve a high risk of loss and are susceptible to default or decline in market value because of adverse economic and business developments. The market value for these securities tends to be very volatile, and many of these securities are less liquid than investment grade debt securities;

 

    It is possible that some of the Acquiring Fund’s income distributions may be, and distributions of the Acquiring Fund’s gains generally will be, subject to federal income tax. The Acquiring Fund may realize taxable gains on the sale of its securities or on transactions in derivatives. Some of the Acquiring Fund’s income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. In addition, distributions of the Acquiring Fund’s income and gains will generally be subject to state and local income and franchise taxes; and

 

    The Acquiring Fund purchases municipal securities the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel, is exempt from federal income tax. Neither the manager nor the Acquiring Fund guarantees that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with bond counsel’s opinion. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become subject to federal income tax, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued, the value of the security could decline significantly and distributions to Acquiring Fund shareholders could be recharacterized as taxable.

 

The Acquired Fund is subject to the following additional risks:

 

    Georgia municipal securities may fall out of favor with investors. The Acquired Fund will suffer more than a national municipal fund from adverse events affecting Georgia municipal issuers;

 

    Georgia’s economy tends to have concentrations in the insurance and defense industries, and therefore, the Acquired Fund may be more exposed to events affecting these industries than funds with more geographically diverse investments. Additionally, though 2005 represented the highest one-year revenue collection by the state, a portion of those revenues were attributed to enforcement initiatives that may not be repeated successfully in future periods. Also, natural disasters are not uncommon in Georgia and their effect on Georgia’s economy is unpredictable. These and other factors may affect the market value of municipal obligations held by the Acquired Fund, the marketability of such obligations, and the ability of the issuers to make the required payments of interest and principal resulting in losses to the Fund. In addition, if the Acquired Fund has difficulty finding high quality Georgia municipal obligations to purchase, the amount of the Fund’s income that is subject to Georgia taxes could increase;

 

    It is possible that some of the Acquired Fund’s income distributions may be, and distributions of the Acquired Fund’s capital gains generally will be, subject to regular federal and Georgia state tax. The Acquired Fund may realize capital gains on the sale of its securities or on transactions in futures contracts or other derivative instruments. Some of the Acquired Fund’s interest income that is exempt from regular federal income tax may be subject to the AMT. In addition, distributions of the Acquired Fund’s income and capital gains will generally be subject to state and local income taxes for investors that reside in states other than Georgia;

 

    The Acquired Fund is classified as “non-diversified,” which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in one issuer than a diversified fund. To the extent the Acquired Fund invests its assets in fewer issuers, the Acquired Fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers; and

 

   

Inverse floaters and futures are volatile and involve leverage which may expose the Acquired Fund to increased risk of loss. Therefore, using futures or inverse floaters can disproportionately increase losses and reduce opportunities for gains when interest rates are changing. The Acquired Fund may not fully benefit from or may lose money on

 

117


 

futures contracts used for hedging purposes if changes in their value do not correspond as anticipated to changes in the value of the Acquired Fund’s holdings. Futures and inverse floaters can also make a fund less liquid and harder to value, especially in declining markets.

 

Comparison between Fundamental Investment Restrictions

 

If shareholders of a Fund approve the new fundamental investment restrictions, the Fund’s current fundamental restrictions with respect to borrowing, underwriting the securities of other issuers, lending money or other assets, issuing senior securities, purchasing or selling real estate, purchasing or selling commodities or contracts related to commodities and concentrating in a particular industry will be replaced by the new policies. Adoption of the new policies will have no material effect on the manner in which the Funds are managed.

 

The following table lists (1) the current fundamental investment restrictions for the Acquired Fund, (2) the current fundamental investment restrictions for the Acquiring Fund and (3) the proposed changes to the fundamental investment restrictions that will be voted on by shareholders of the Acquired Fund, but in a separate proxy statement. Identical proposed fundamental investment restrictions are being voted on by shareholders of the Funds so that if (1) shareholders of the Acquired Fund approve the Reorganization and (2) shareholders of the Acquiring Fund approve their proposed fundamental investment restrictions, shareholders of the Acquired Fund will become shareholders of a Fund with the same fundamental investment restrictions as are being proposed for their Fund.

The 1940 Act generally permits a fund to have underwriting commitments of up to 25% of its assets under certain circumstances. Currently, the Funds are not permitted to engage in the business of underwriting.

Lending:    Make loans.

The 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from making loans; however, SEC staff interpretations currently prohibit funds from lending more than one-third of their total assets, except through the purchase of debt obligations or the use of repurchase agreements. (A repurchase agreement is an agreement to purchase a security, coupled with an agreement to sell that security back to the original seller on an agreed-upon date at a price that generally depends on current interest rates. The SEC frequently treats repurchase agreements as loans.)

The Fund may not issue senior securities except as permitted by (i) the 1940 Act or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

 

Senior securities are generally defined as fund obligations that have a priority over the fund’s shares with respect to the payment of dividends or distribution of fund assets. The 1940 Act prohibits a fund from issuing senior securities except that it generally permits a fund to borrow from banks for any purpose in amounts up to one-third of the fund’s total assets and to borrow up to 5% of the fund’s total assets from any source for temporary purposes. A fund’s temporary borrowings not exceeding 5% of its total assets are not considered senior securities.

Real Estate:    Purchase or sell real estate, real estate mortgages or real estate investment trust securities, but this restriction shall not prevent the Fund from (a) investing in securities of issuers engaged in the real estate business or the business of investing in real estate (including interests in limited partnerships owning or otherwise engaging in the real estate business or the business of investing in real estate) and securities which are secured by real estate or interests therein; or (b) holding or selling real estate received in connection with securities it holds or held.    Purchase or sell real estate or real estate mortgages, but this restriction shall not prevent the portfolio from (a) investing in securities of issuers engaged in the real estate business or the business of investing in real estate and securities which are secured by real estate or interests therein; (b) holding or selling real estate received in connection with securities it holds or held; or (c) investing in real estate investment trust securities.   

The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate except as permitted by (i) the 1940 Act or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

 

The 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from owning real estate; however, a mutual fund is limited in the amount of illiquid assets it may purchase (real estate is generally considered illiquid).

The 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from owning commodities, whether physical commodities and contracts related to physical commodities (such as oil or grains and related futures contracts), or financial commodities and contracts related to financial commodities (such as currencies and, possibly, currency futures). However, a mutual fund is limited in the amount of illiquid assets it may purchase (certain commodities (especially physical commodities) may be considered to be illiquid).

Concentration:    Invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities, the issuers of which conduct their principal business activities in the same industry. For purposes of this limitation, securities of the U.S. government (including its agencies and instrumentalities) and securities of state or municipal governments and their political subdivisions are not considered to be issued by members of any industry.    Invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities, the issuers of which are in the same industry. For purposes of this limitation, U.S. Government Securities and securities of state or municipal governments and their political subdivisions are not considered to be issued by members of any industry. For purposes of this restriction, private activity bonds, where the payment of principal and interest is the ultimate responsibility of companies within the same industry, are grouped together as an “industry.”   

Except as permitted by exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, the Fund may not make any investment if, as a result, the Fund’s investments will be concentrated in any one industry.

 

While the 1940 Act does not define what constitutes “concentration” in an industry, the SEC has taken the position that investment of 25% or more of a fund’s total assets in one or more issuers conducting their principal activities in the same industry constitutes concentration. It is possible that interpretations of concentration could change in the future.

Comparison between the Acquired Fund’s Current and Proposed Fundamental Investment Restrictions

 

The actual investment practices of the Acquired Fund would not be expected to change as a result of the revised policies. However, these practices could change in the future and for various reasons (for instance, a change in the 1940 Act could result in an investment practice that would not be permitted under the current investment restrictions to be permitted under the proposed investment restrictions).

 

The primary differences between the Acquired Fund’s current and proposed fundamental investment restrictions are that:

 

    The Acquired Fund’s current restriction on borrowing permits the Acquired Fund to borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes, while the proposed restriction would allow the Acquired Fund to borrow under other circumstances as permissible under the 1940 Act or pursuant to specific SEC guidance.

 

    The Acquired Fund’s investment objectives are fundamental as defined under the 1940 Act, while under the proposed restrictions the investment objectives would not be fundamental.

 

Comparison between the Acquired Fund’s and the Acquiring Fund’s Current Fundamental Investment Restrictions

 

The primary differences between the two Funds with respect to their fundamental investment restrictions, should shareholders of the Funds not approve the proposed changes to the fundamental investment restrictions, are as follows:

 

    The Acquiring Fund requires that it be “diversified” under the 1940 Act while the Acquired Fund is non-diversified, which means that the Acquired Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer.

 

    The Acquiring Fund has a fundamental restriction requiring it to invest at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities or other investments with similar economic characteristics, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income taxes, while the Acquired Fund has a fundamental restriction requiring it to invest at least 80% of its assets specifically in Georgia municipal securities.

 

Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc. (Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. (Acquiring Fund)

 

There are material differences between the investment objectives of the Funds. While the Acquiring Fund seeks to maximize current interest income that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes to the extent consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital, the Acquired Fund seeks to provide Arizona investors with the maximum amount of income exempt from federal and Arizona state income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital.

 

As a matter of fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Acquiring Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities or other investments with similar economic characteristics, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income tax. Each Fund considers any investments in municipal obligations that pay interest subject to the federal AMT as part of the 80% of the Fund’s assets that must be invested in municipal securities. Municipal securities include securities issued by any of the 50 states and certain other municipal issuers, political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities, which pay interest that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes. The Acquiring Fund focuses primarily on intermediate-term and long-term municipal securities that have remaining maturities at the time of purchase of from three to more than 30 years. The Acquiring Fund can invest up to 20% of its assets in bonds rated below investment grade or in unrated securities determined to be of equivalent quality by the manager (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Investment grade bonds are those rated in any of the four highest long-term rating categories, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the manager.

 

As a matter of fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Acquired Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in Arizona municipal securities or other investments with similar economic characteristics. Arizona municipal securities include securities issued by the State of Arizona and certain other municipal issuers, political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities that pay interest that is exempt from income for regular federal income tax and from Arizona state personal income taxes.

 

The Acquired Fund invests primarily in intermediate-term and long-term investment grade municipal securities that have remaining maturities at the time of purchase ranging from three to more than 20 years. Investment grade securities are

 

124


rated in any of the four highest long-term rating categories or, if unrated, are determined by the manager to be of comparable quality. The Acquired Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in junk bonds.

 

The managers of the Funds select securities primarily by identifying undervalued sectors and individual securities, while also selecting securities they believe will benefit from changes in market conditions. In selecting individual securities, the manager:

 

    Uses fundamental credit analysis to estimate the relative value and attractiveness of various securities and sectors and to exploit opportunities in the municipal bond market

 

    Considers the yield available for securities with different maturities and a security’s maturity in light of the outlook for the issuer, its sector and interest rates, and in the case of the Acquiring Fund, also measures the potential impact of supply/demand imbalances for obligations of different states

 

    May trade between general obligation and revenue bonds and among various revenue bond sectors, such as housing, hospital and industrial development, based on their apparent relative values

 

    Identifies individual securities with the most potential for added value, such as those involving unusual situations, new issuers, the potential for credit upgrades, unique structural characteristics or innovative features

 

Each Fund may, but need not, use derivative contracts, such as financial futures and options on financial futures, for any of the following purposes:

 

    To hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market value of portfolio securities because of changes in interest rates

 

    As a substitute for buying or selling securities

 

    As a cash flow management technique

 

The primary differences between the Funds are as follows:

 

    The Acquired Fund must invest at least 80% of its assets in securities paying interest exempt from Arizona income tax, while the Acquiring Fund has no similar restriction and has a nationwide focus. Most of the Acquiring Fund’s income distributions are subject to Arizona state income taxes.

 

    The Acquiring Fund focuses primarily on intermediate-term and long-term municipal securities that have remaining maturities at the time of purchase of from three to more than 30 years while the Acquired Fund focuses on such securities that have remaining maturities at the time of purchase ranging from three to more than 20 years.

 

Risk Factors

 

The following summarizes the risks of investing in the Funds:

 

    Interest rates rise, causing the value of the Fund’s portfolio to decline;

 

    The issuer of a security owned by the Fund defaults on its obligation to pay principal and/or interest or the security’s credit rating is downgraded;

 

    Municipal securities fall out of favor with investors;

 

    Unfavorable legislation affects the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds;

 

    The manager’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or income potential of a particular security proves to be incorrect;

 

    Using derivatives can disproportionately increase losses and reduce opportunities for gains when interest rates are changing. The Fund may not fully benefit from or may lose money on derivatives if changes in their value do not correspond accurately to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings. The other parties to certain derivatives present the same types of default risk as issuers of fixed income securities. Derivatives can also make the Fund less liquid and harder to value, especially in declining markets; and

 

    Below investment grade securities, also known as “junk bonds,” are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and/or principal, involve a high risk of loss and are susceptible to default or decline in market value because of adverse economic and business developments. The market value for these securities tends to be very volatile, and many of these securities are less liquid than investment grade debt securities.

 

125


The Acquiring Fund is subject to the following additional risks:

 

    It is possible that some of the Acquiring Fund’s income distributions may be, and distributions of the Acquiring Fund’s gains generally will be, subject to federal income tax. The Acquiring Fund may realize taxable gains on the sale of its securities or on transactions in derivatives. Some of the Acquiring Fund’s income may be subject to the AMT. In addition, distributions of the Acquiring Fund’s income and gains will generally be subject to state and local income and franchise taxes; and

 

    The Acquiring Fund purchases municipal securities the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel, is exempt from federal income tax. Neither the manager nor the Acquiring Fund guarantees that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with bond counsel’s opinion. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become subject to federal income tax, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued, the value of the security could decline significantly and distributions to Acquiring Fund shareholders could be recharacterized as taxable.

 

The Acquired Fund is subject to the following additional risks:

 

    Arizona municipal securities may fall out of favor with investors. The Acquired Fund will suffer more than a national municipal fund from adverse events affecting Arizona municipal issuers;

 

    Arizona experienced declining revenues in fiscal years 2002 and 2003. Though the state has witnessed recent economic growth and anticipates continued growth, expenditures are also expected to increase, due in part to spending associated with the state’s growing population and other obligations. The state predicts general fund shortfalls to increase in the coming years, more so if revenue growth is less than anticipated or if spending exceeds expectations. These and other factors may affect the market value of municipal obligations held by the Acquired Fund, the marketability of such obligations, and the ability of the issuers to make the required payments of interest and principal resulting in losses to the Acquired Fund. In addition, if the Acquired Fund has difficulty finding high quality Arizona municipal obligations to purchase, the amount of the Acquired Fund’s income that is subject to Arizona taxes could increase; and

 

    It is possible that some of the Acquired Fund’s income distributions may be, and distributions of the Acquired Fund’s capital gains generally will be, subject to federal personal income and Arizona state personal income taxes. The Acquired Fund may realize capital gains subject to regular federal and Arizona state personal income taxes on the sale of its securities or on transactions in derivatives. The Acquired Fund may realize ordinary income subject to regular federal and Arizona state personal income taxes to the extent of any market discount on securities purchased at a discount. Distributions of the Acquired Fund’s income may be subject to the AMT. In addition, distributions of the Acquired Fund’s income and capital gains generally will be subject to state and local income taxes for investors residing in states other than Arizona.

 

Comparison between Fundamental Investment Restrictions

 

If shareholders of a Fund approve the proposed changes to the Fund’s fundamental investment restrictions, the Fund’s current fundamental investment restrictions with respect to borrowing, underwriting the securities of other issuers, lending money or other assets, issuing senior securities, purchasing or selling real estate, purchasing or selling commodities or contracts related to commodities and concentrating in a particular industry will be replaced by the new policies. Management of the Funds believes that adoption of the new policies will have no material effect on the manner in which the Funds are managed.

 

The following table lists (1) the current fundamental investment restrictions for the Acquired Fund, (2) the current fundamental investment restrictions for the Acquiring Fund and (3) the proposed changes to the fundamental investment restrictions that will be voted on by shareholders of the Funds, but in a separate proxy statement.

The 1940 Act generally permits a fund to have underwriting commitments of up to 25% of its assets under certain circumstances. Currently, the Funds are not permitted to engage in the business of underwriting.

Lending:    Make loans.

The 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from making loans; however, SEC staff interpretations currently prohibit funds from lending more than one-third of their total assets, except through the purchase of debt obligations or the use of repurchase agreements. (A repurchase agreement is an agreement to purchase a security, coupled with an agreement to sell that security back to the original seller on an agreed-upon date at a price that generally depends on current interest rates. The SEC frequently treats repurchase agreements as loans.)

Senior securities are generally defined as fund obligations that have a priority over the fund’s shares with respect to the payment of dividends or distribution of fund assets. The 1940 Act prohibits a fund from issuing senior securities except that it generally permits a fund to borrow from banks for any purpose in amounts up to one-third of the fund’s total assets and to borrow up to 5% of the fund’s total assets from any source for temporary purposes. A fund’s temporary borrowings not exceeding 5% of its total assets are not considered senior securities.

Real Estate:    Purchase or sell real estate or real estate mortgages, but this restriction shall not prevent the Fund from (a) investing in securities of issuers engaged in the real estate business or the business of investing in real estate (including interests in limited partnerships owning or otherwise engaging in the real estate business or the business of investing in real estate) and securities which are secured by real estate or interests therein; (b) holding or selling real estate received in connection with securities it holds or held; or (c) investing in real estate investment trust securities.    Purchase or sell real estate or real estate mortgages, but this restriction shall not prevent the portfolio from (a) investing in securities of issuers engaged in the real estate business or the business of investing in real estate and securities which are secured by real estate or interests therein; (b) holding or selling real estate received in connection with securities it holds or held; or (c) investing in real estate investment trust securities.   

The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate except as permitted by (i) the 1940 Act or interpretations or modifications by the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (ii) exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority.

 

The 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from owning real estate; however, a mutual fund is limited in the amount of illiquid assets it may purchase (real estate is generally considered illiquid).

The 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from owning commodities, whether physical commodities and contracts related to physical commodities (such as oil or grains and related futures contracts), or financial commodities and contracts related to financial commodities (such as currencies and, possibly, currency futures). However, a mutual fund is limited in the amount of illiquid assets it may purchase (certain commodities (especially physical commodities) may be considered to be illiquid).

Concentration:    Invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities, the issuers of which are in the same industry. For purposes of this limitation, U.S. government securities and securities of state or municipal governments and their political subdivisions are not considered to be issued by members of any industry.    Invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities, the issuers of which are in the same industry. For purposes of this limitation, U.S. Government Securities and securities of state or municipal governments and their political subdivisions are not considered to be issued by members of any industry. For purposes of this restriction, private activity bonds, where the payment of principal and interest is the ultimate responsibility of companies within the same industry, are grouped together as an “industry.”   

Except as permitted by exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, the Fund may not make any investment if, as a result, the Fund’s investments will be concentrated in any one industry.

 

While the 1940 Act does not define what constitutes “concentration” in an industry, the SEC has taken the position that investment of 25% or more of a fund’s total assets in one or more issuers conducting their principal activities in the same industry constitutes concentration. It is possible that interpretations of concentration could change in the future.

Comparison between the Acquired Fund’s Current and Proposed Fundamental Investment Restrictions

 

The actual investment practices of the Acquired Fund would not be expected to change as a result of the revised policies. However, these practices could change in the future and for various reasons (for instance, a change in the 1940 Act could result in an investment practice that would not be permitted under the current investment restrictions to be permitted under the proposed investment restrictions).

 

The primary differences between the Acquired Fund’s current and proposed fundamental investment restrictions are as follows:

 

    The Acquired Fund’s current restriction on borrowing permits the Acquired Fund to borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes. The proposed restriction would allow the Acquired Fund to borrow under other circumstances as permissible under the 1940 Act or pursuant to specific SEC guidance.

 

    If approved by shareholders of the Acquired Fund, these proposals would result in the elimination of the fundamental policy requiring the Acquired Fund to operate as a “diversified” company under the 1940 Act. However, this difference has no practical effect because under the 1940 Act a shareholder vote is required to change a fund’s status from diversified to non-diversified.

 

    The Acquired Fund’s investment objectives are fundamental as defined under the 1940 Act, while under the proposed restrictions the investment objectives would not be fundamental.

 

Comparison between the Acquired Fund’s and the Acquiring Fund’s Current Fundamental Investment Restrictions

 

The primary difference between the two Funds with respect to their fundamental investment restrictions, is that the Acquiring Fund has a fundamental restriction requiring it to invest at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities or other investments with similar economic characteristics, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income taxes, while the Acquired Fund has a fundamental restriction requiring it to invest at least 80% of its assets specifically in Arizona municipal securities.

 

Legg Mason Partners Florida Municipals Fund (Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. (Acquiring Fund)

 

There are no material differences between the investment objectives of the Funds. The Acquiring Fund seeks to maximize current interest income that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes to the extent consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital. The Acquired Fund seeks as high a level of income exempt from regular federal income taxes as is consistent with prudent investing.

 

As a matter of fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Acquiring Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities or other investments with similar economic characteristics, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income tax. Each Fund considers any investments in municipal obligations that pay interest subject to the federal AMT as part of the 80% of the Fund’s assets that must be invested in municipal securities. Municipal securities include securities issued by any of the 50 states and certain other municipal issuers, political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities, which pay interest that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes. The Acquiring Fund focuses primarily on intermediate-term and long-term municipal securities that have remaining maturities at the time of purchase of from three to more than 30 years. The Acquiring Fund can invest up to 20% of its assets in bonds rated below investment grade or in unrated securities determined to be of equivalent quality by the manager (commonly known as “junk bonds”). Investment grade bonds are those rated in any of the four highest long-term rating categories, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the manager.

 

As a matter of fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Acquired Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in Florida municipal securities. Florida municipal securities include securities issued by the State of Florida and certain other municipal issuers, political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities that pay interest that is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes. The Acquired Fund generally favors municipal securities that enable its shares to be exempt from the Florida intangibles tax. (Earlier this year, Florida legislation authorized the repeal of the tax. The legislation will become effective on January 1, 2007.) The Acquired Fund focuses primarily on intermediate-term and long-term municipal securities which have remaining maturities at the time of purchase of from three to more than 30 years. The Acquired Fund invests exclusively in municipal securities that are rated investment grade at the time of purchase or are of

 

132


comparable quality if unrated. Investment grade bonds are those rated in any of the four highest long-term rating categories or, if unrated, of comparable quality. At least two-thirds of the municipal securities must be rated, at the time of purchase, within the three highest investment grade rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Acquired Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in municipal securities of non-Florida issuers. These securities will generally be exempt from regular federal income taxation but not from the Florida intangibles tax. The Acquired Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in debt securities which are issued or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. These securities will generally be subject to federal and state taxation. The Acquired Fund may also invest in inverse floating rate securities.

 

The managers of the Funds select securities primarily by identifying undervalued sectors and individual securities, while also selecting securities they believe will benefit from changes in market conditions. In selecting individual securities, the manager:

 

    Uses fundamental credit analysis to estimate the relative value and attractiveness of various securities and sectors and to exploit opportunities in the municipal bond market

 

    Considers the yield available for securities with different maturities and a security’s maturity in light of the outlook for the issuer, its sector and interest rates, and in the case of the Acquiring Fund, also measures the potential impact of supply/demand imbalances for obligations of different states

 

    May trade between general obligation and revenue bonds and among various revenue bond sectors, such as housing, hospital and industrial development, based on their apparent relative values

 

    Identifies individual securities with the most potential for added value, such as those involving unusual situations, new issuers, the potential for credit upgrades, unique structural characteristics or innovative features

 

Each Fund may, but need not, use derivative contracts, such as financial futures and options on financial futures, for any of the following purposes:

 

    To hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market value of portfolio securities because of changes in interest rates

 

    As a substitute for buying or selling securities

 

    As a cash flow management technique

 

The primary differences between the Funds are as follows:

 

    The Acquired Fund must invest at least 80% of its assets in Florida municipal securities while the Acquiring Fund invests in municipal securities of various states.

 

    The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in junk bonds while the Acquired Fund may not invest in junk bonds.

 

    At least two-thirds of the municipal securities held by the Acquired Fund must be rated, at the time of purchase, within the three highest investment grade rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, while the Acquiring Fund requires that at least 80% of the municipal securities held by the Acquiring Fund be rated in the four highest long-term rating categories, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the manager.

 

    The Acquiring Fund is diversified, while the Acquired Fund is non-diversified.

 

Risk Factors

 

The following summarizes the risks of investing in the Funds:

 

    Interest rates rise, causing the value of the Fund’s portfolio to decline;

 

    The issuer of a security owned by the Fund defaults on its obligation to pay principal and/or interest or the security’s credit rating is downgraded;

 

    Municipal securities fall out of favor with investors;

 

133


    Unfavorable legislation affects the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds;

 

    The manager’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or income potential of a particular security proves to be incorrect; and

 

    Using derivatives can disproportionately increase losses and reduce opportunities for gains when interest rates are changing. The Fund may not fully benefit from or may lose money on derivatives if changes in their value do not correspond accurately to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings. The other parties to certain derivatives present the same types of default risk as issuers of fixed income securities. Derivatives can also make the Fund less liquid and harder to value, especially in declining markets.

 

The Acquiring Fund is subject to the following additional risks:

 

    Below investment grade securities, also known as “junk bonds,” are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and/or principal, involve a high risk of loss and are susceptible to default or decline in market value because of adverse economic and business developments. The market value for these securities tends to be very volatile, and many of these securities are less liquid than investment grade debt securities;

 

    It is possible that some of the Acquiring Fund’s income distributions may be, and distributions of the Acquiring Fund’s gains generally will be, subject to federal income tax. The Acquiring Fund may realize taxable gains on the sale of its securities or on transactions in derivatives. Some of the Acquiring Fund’s income may be subject to the AMT. In addition, distributions of the Acquiring Fund’s income and gains will generally be subject to state and local income and franchise taxes; and

 

    The Acquiring Fund purchases municipal securities the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel, is exempt from federal income tax. Neither the manager nor the Acquiring Fund guarantees that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with bond counsel’s opinion. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become subject to federal income tax, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued, and the value of the security could decline significantly and distributions to Acquiring Fund shareholders could be recharacterized as taxable.

 

The Acquired Fund is subject to the following additional risks:

 

    Florida municipal securities may fall out of favor with investors. The Acquired Fund will suffer more than a national municipal fund from adverse events affecting Florida municipal issuers;

 

    Natural disasters are not uncommon in Florida and the state’s economy is subject to the unpredictable costs resulting therefrom. Such events can also have a negative impact on the state’s tourism industry, which can adversely affect sales tax revenue, the state’s largest source of income. These and other factors may affect the market value of municipal obligations held by the Acquired Fund, the marketability of such obligations, and the ability of the issuers to make the required payments of interest and principal resulting in losses to the Acquired Fund. In addition, if the Acquired Fund has difficulty finding high quality Florida municipal obligations to purchase, the amount of the Acquired Fund’s income that is subject to Florida taxes could increase;

 

    It is possible that some of the Acquired Fund’s income distributions may be, and distributions of the Acquired Fund’s capital gains generally will be, subject to regular federal income tax. Depending upon the composition of the Acquired Fund’s portfolio, shares of the Acquired Fund may be subject to the Florida intangibles tax (which, as noted above, has been repealed effective January 1, 2007). The Acquired Fund may realize capital gains on the sale of its securities or on transactions in futures contracts or other derivative instruments. Some of the Acquired Fund’s income that is exempt from regular federal income taxation may be subject to the federal AMT. In addition, distributions of the Acquired Fund’s interest income and capital gains will generally be subject to state and local income taxes for investors that reside in states other than Florida;

 

    The Acquired Fund is classified as “non-diversified,” which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in one issuer than a diversified fund. To the extent the Acquired Fund invests its assets in fewer issuers, the Acquired Fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers; and

 

   

Inverse floaters and futures are volatile and involve leverage which may expose the Acquired Fund to increased risk of loss. Therefore, using futures or inverse floaters can disproportionately increase losses and reduce opportunities for gains when interest rates are changing. The Acquired Fund may not fully benefit from or may lose money on

 

134


 

futures contracts used for hedging purposes if changes in their value do not correspond as anticipated to changes in the value of the Acquired Fund’s holdings. Futures and inverse floaters can also make a fund less liquid and harder to value, especially in declining markets.

 

Comparison between Fundamental Investment Restrictions

 

If shareholders of a Fund approve the proposed changes to the Fund’s fundamental investment restrictions, the Fund’s current fundamental investment restrictions with respect to borrowing, underwriting the securities of other issuers, lending money or other assets, issuing senior securities, purchasing or selling real estate, purchasing or selling commodities or contracts related to commodities and concentrating in a particular industry will be replaced by the new policies. Management of the Funds believes that adoption of the new policies will have no material effect on the manner in which the Funds are managed.

 

The following table lists (1) the current fundamental investment restrictions for the Acquired Fund, (2) the current fundamental investment restrictions for the Acquiring Fund and (3) the proposed changes to the fundamental investment restrictions that will be voted on by shareholders of the Funds, but in a separate proxy statement. Identical proposed fundamental investment restrictions are being voted on by shareholders of the Acquiring Fund so that if (1) shareholders of the Acquired Fund approve the Reorganization and (2) shareholders of the Acquiring Fund approve their proposed fundamental investment restrictions, shareholders of the Acquired Fund will become shareholders of a Fund with the same fundamental investment restrictions as are being proposed for their Fund. Following the table is an explanation of certain differences between (1) the Acquired Fund’s current fundamental investment restrictions and the proposed fundamental investment restrictions and (2) the Acquired Fund’s and the Acquiring Fund’s fundamental investment restrictions should shareholders of the Funds not approve the proposed changes to such restrictions.

Borrowing:    Borrow money, except that (a) the Fund may borrow from banks for temporary or emergency (not leveraging) purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests which might otherwise require the untimely disposition of securities, and (b) the Fund may, to the extent consistent with its investment policies, enter into reverse repurchase agreements, forward roll transactions and similar investment strategies and techniques.

The 1940 Act generally permits a fund to borrow money in amounts of up to one-third of the fund’s total assets from banks for any purpose, and to borrow up to 5% of the fund’s total assets from banks or other lenders for temporary purposes. Certain trading practices and investments, such as reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls and certain derivatives, may be considered to be borrowing and thus subject to the 1940 Act restrictions. On the other hand, certain practices and investments may involve leverage but are not considered to be borrowing.

Concentration:    Invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities, the issuers of which conduct their principal business activities in the same industry. For purposes of this limitation, securities of the U.S. government (including its agencies and instrumentalities) and securities of state or municipal governments and their political subdivisions are not considered to be issued by members of any industry.    Invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities, the issuers of which are in the same industry. For purposes of this limitation, U.S. Government Securities and securities of state or municipal governments and their political subdivisions are not considered to be issued by members of any industry. For purposes of this restriction, private activity bonds, where the payment of principal and interest is the ultimate responsibility of companies within the same industry, are grouped together as an “industry.”   

Except as permitted by exemptive or other relief or permission from the SEC, SEC staff or other authority with appropriate jurisdiction, the Fund may not make any investment if, as a result, the Fund’s investments will be concentrated in any one industry.

 

While the 1940 Act does not define what constitutes “concentration” in an industry, the SEC has taken the position that investment of 25% or more of a fund’s total assets in one or more issuers conducting their principal activities in the same industry constitutes concentration. It is possible that interpretations of concentration could change in the future.

Legg Mason Partners Florida Municipals Fund’s
(Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Managed

Restrictions and Brief Discussion


     The Fund may not:    The Fund may not:     
Other:   

Under normal circumstances, invest less than 80% of its assets in Florida municipal securities.

 

The Fund has a fundamental policy that, under normal market conditions, it will seek to invest 100% of its assets and the Fund will invest not less than 80% of its assets (net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal obligations the interest on which is exempt from regular federal income taxes (but which nevertheless be subject to the AMT) and from the Florida intangibles tax in the opinion of bond counsel for the various issuers. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in taxable fixed income securities issued or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States.

   Under normal circumstances, invest less than 80% of its assets (net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal securities or other investments with similar economic characteristics, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income taxes. The Fund considers any investments in municipal obligations that pay interest subject to the AMT as part of the 80% of the Fund’s assets to be invested in municipal securities.    Each Fund retains its current policy.
     The Fund’s investment objectives are “fundamental,” and therefore may only be changed by the “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” as defined under the 1940 Act.    The Fund’s investment objectives are “fundamental,” and therefore may only be changed by the “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” as defined under the 1940 Act.    No restriction.

Comparison between the Acquired Fund’s Current and Proposed Fundamental Investment Restrictions

 

The actual investment practices of the Acquired Fund would not be expected to change as a result of the revised policies. However, these practices could change in the future and for various reasons (for instance, a change in the 1940 Act could result in an investment practice that would not be permitted under the current investment restrictions to be permitted under the proposed investment restrictions).

 

The primary differences between the Acquired Fund’s current and proposed fundamental investment restrictions are that:

 

    The Acquired Fund’s current restriction on borrowing permits the Acquired Fund to borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes, while the proposed restriction would allow the Acquired Fund to borrow under other circumstances as permissible under the 1940 Act or pursuant to specific SEC guidance.

 

    The Acquired Fund’s investment objectives are fundamental as defined under the 1940 Act, while under the proposed restrictions the investment objectives would not be fundamental.

 

Comparison between the Acquired Fund’s and the Acquiring Fund’s Current Fundamental Investment Restrictions

 

The primary differences between the two Funds with respect to their fundamental investment restrictions, should shareholders of the Funds not approve the proposed changes to the fundamental investment restrictions, are as follows:

 

    The Acquiring Fund requires that it be “diversified” under the 1940 Act, while the Acquired Fund is non-diversified which means that the Acquired Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer.

 

    The Acquiring Fund has a fundamental restriction requiring it to invest at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities or other investments with similar economic characteristics, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income taxes, while the Acquired Fund has a fundamental restriction requiring it to invest at least 80% of its assets specifically in Florida municipal securities.

 

INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATIONS

 

The Reorganization Agreements

 

The following summary of each Reorganization Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Reorganization Agreement attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Each Reorganization Agreement provides for (1) the transfer of all of the assets and the assumption of all of the liabilities of the applicable Acquired Fund in exchange for shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund, having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of the Acquired Fund, (2) the distribution of shares of the Acquiring Fund to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund and (3) the termination of the Acquired Fund. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described below, the Reorganizations are scheduled to occur as of the close of business on February 2, 2007, except for Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund’s Reorganization, which is expected to occur as of the close of business on March 2, 2007, or, in the case of any Reorganization, on such later date as the parties may agree (“Closing Date”). The net asset value of each Acquired Fund shall be computed using the valuation procedures established by the Acquired Fund’s Board. The net asset value per share of each class of the Acquiring Fund shall be determined using the valuation procedures established by the Acquiring Fund’s Board. The number of shares of each class of the Acquiring Fund to be issued in exchange for the Acquired Fund’s assets shall be determined with respect to each such class by dividing the net asset value of each class of the Acquired Fund by the net asset value per share of the corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund. Each Acquired Fund’s Board will adopt the valuation procedures of the corresponding Acquiring Fund’s Board before the Reorganizations.

 

The number of full and fractional shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund to be received by each Acquired Fund shareholder in the Reorganization will be equal in aggregate net asset value to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of the Acquired Fund held by such shareholder as of the close of regularly scheduled trading on The New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”) on the Closing Date or such later time as the Acquired Fund’s net asset value is calculated. As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, each Acquired Fund will terminate and distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record, as of the close of regularly scheduled trading on the NYSE on the Closing Date, the shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund received by the Acquired Fund in the Reorganization. The distribution with respect to each class of each Acquired Fund’s shares will be accomplished by the transfer of the corresponding Acquiring Fund shares then 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 names of the Acquired Fund’s shareholders.

 

141


The aggregate net asset value of Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Acquiring Fund, as applicable, to be credited to Class A, Class B and Class C Acquired Fund shareholders, respectively, will, with respect to each class, be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of the Acquired Funds of the corresponding class owned by Acquired Fund shareholders on the Closing Date. The Class O shareholders of Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund will receive Class Y shares of Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc.

 

All issued and outstanding shares of the Acquired Funds will simultaneously be canceled or redeemed, as the case may be under the law of the applicable jurisdiction, on the books of the Acquired Funds, and any share certificates representing shares of the Acquired Funds will be null and void. This Proxy Statement/Prospectus constitutes notice of any such redemption. The Acquiring Funds will not issue certificates representing the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares issued in connection with such Reorganization.

 

After such distribution, each Acquired Fund will take all necessary steps under Maryland law or Massachusetts law, as applicable, its respective declaration of trust and any other applicable law to effect its termination.

 

The Board of each Acquired Fund and the Board of each Acquiring Fund has determined with respect to its Fund that the interests of the Fund’s shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization and that participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of each Fund. In making these determinations, the Board of each Fund took into account that management has agreed to pay all the printing, proxy solicitation, mailing and postage costs of each Reorganization, 75% of the costs attributable to the other proxy materials being sent to shareholders of all the Legacy CAM Funds and 50% of the additional out-of-pocket costs, such as legal fees, expenses relating to the preparation and filing of various regulatory documents, expenses of preparing and distributing prospectus and SAI supplements, and auditor fees. The transaction costs associated with repositioning the Funds’ portfolios in connection with the Reorganization will be borne by the Funds, as is consistent with industry practice.

 

Each Reorganization Agreement may be terminated and the Reorganization abandoned at any time prior to the Closing Date, if circumstances should develop that, in the opinion of either Fund’s Board, make proceeding with that Reorganization inadvisable. Each Reorganization Agreement provides that the Acquired Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Fund may waive compliance with any of the covenants or conditions made therein for the benefit of either Fund, other than the requirements that: (a) a Reorganization Agreement be approved by shareholders of the Acquired Fund; and (b) the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund receive the opinion of Dechert LLP that the transaction contemplated by a Reorganization Agreement will constitute a tax-free reorganization for Federal income tax purposes. A Board may waive such compliance only if it finds such waiver to be in the best interest of its respective Fund.

 

Approval of each Reorganization Agreement will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Acquired Fund as defined in the 1940 Act, with all classes voting together as a single class. See “Voting Information” below.

 

Description of the Acquiring Funds’ Shares

 

Acquired Fund shareholders of record as of the Closing Date will receive full and fractional shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund in accordance with the procedures provided for in the applicable Reorganization Agreement, as described above. Each such share will be fully paid and non-assessable when issued and will have no pre-emptive or conversion rights, except for Class B shares, as more fully described in “Purchases, Redemptions and Exchanges of Fund Shares—Other Shareholder Information” attached as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The Acquiring Funds will not issue share certificates.

 

Reasons for the Reorganizations and Board Considerations

 

The Reorganizations are among a series of initiatives that the Boards of the respective Acquired Funds unanimously approved following the December 2005 acquisition by Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”) of Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”), which included the Funds’ investment managers. The Reorganizations are part of a broad set of initiatives, including a comprehensive review of Legg Mason’s various products, undertaken by Legg Mason with the goal of integrating and streamlining the Legacy CAM Funds.

 

At meetings held in June, July and August, 2006, the Board of each Acquired Fund unanimously approved a series of initiatives proposed by Legg Mason that are designed to: (1) integrate the operations of the Legacy CAM Funds;

 

142


(2) streamline the operations and product offerings of the Legacy CAM Funds; (3) take advantage of potential economies of scale; and (4) leverage Legg Mason’s broad investment management capabilities and expertise by, for a limited number of Legacy CAM Funds, appointing new portfolio managers from different Legg Mason advisory subsidiaries whose core competency, in the opinion of Legg Mason, is better suited to manage those Legacy CAM Funds. The integration of the Legacy CAM Funds proposed by Legg Mason will include, among other things: (1) eliminating overlapping or duplicative funds; (2) reducing the number of registrants and changing the form of organization of all the Funds such that all Funds within the same complex are organized within a single jurisdiction and have a single form of declaration of trust; (3) electing Boards so that each Board oversees Funds generally of a single asset class; (4) proposing a standardized set of fundamental investment policies for the Funds; (5) changing investment strategies of certain Acquiring Funds; (6) rationalizing share classes; and (7) shifting to a new manager/sub-adviser structure.

 

These initiatives, certain of which require additional shareholder approval, are being implemented over a period of time. If approved by shareholders, the “shell” reorganizations, as discussed below, and other proposed changes to investment strategies and share classes are expected to be effective by the end of the first half of 2007.

 

The proposed Reorganizations were presented to the Boards for consideration with supporting information prepared by Legg Mason and Lipper Inc., an independent provider of investment company data, at Board meetings held in June, July and August 2006, and were unanimously approved at those meetings. Each Acquired Fund Board, including all of its Independent Board Members, following discussion of the advantages and any disadvantages to each Acquired Fund under its supervision, determined that: (1) the proposed Reorganization would be in the best interests of such Fund; and (2) the proposed Reorganization would not result in the dilution of the interests of such Fund or its shareholders.

 

In approving the Reorganizations of the Funds under their supervision, the respective Boards, based on the information provided by Legg Mason and Lipper, considered a number of factors, including the following:

 

    the benefits to the Funds that are expected to be derived from the integration of the Funds, as described below;

 

    the objective of management to eliminate comparable or duplicative product offerings among the Legacy CAM Funds to reduce the potential for investor confusion;

 

    the compatibility of the investment objectives, strategies, policies and risks of the Acquired Funds in the Reorganizations with those of the Acquiring Funds;

 

    the portfolio managers of the Acquiring Funds as compared to those of the Acquired Funds;

 

    greater marketing and distribution focus on a smaller number of funds, which may promote asset growth over time;

 

    the relative size of the Acquiring and Acquired Funds;

 

    the expense ratios of the Funds and information as to specific fees and expenses of each Acquiring Fund and each Acquired Fund, including management’s commitments to contractually maintain the net expense level for certain Acquired Funds as low as the net expense level currently in effect, if not lower, for one year after the date of the next annual prospectus update of the Acquiring Fund following the Reorganization;

 

    the absence of a dilutive effect on interests of current shareholders of the Acquired Funds;

 

    the Federal tax consequences of each Reorganization to the Acquired Fund and its shareholders, including that each Reorganization has been structured to qualify as a Federal tax-free transaction;

 

    benefits that may be derived by Legg Mason and its affiliates as a result of the Reorganizations as well as from various relationships with the Acquired Funds or Acquiring Funds;

 

    the allocation of expenses associated with the Reorganizations among the Funds and Legg Mason (as noted above, management will pay all the printing, proxy solicitation, mailing and postage costs of each Reorganization, 75% of the costs attributable to the other proxy materials being sent to shareholders of all the Legacy CAM Funds and 50% of the additional out-of-pocket costs, such as legal fees, expenses relating to the preparation and filing of various regulatory documents, expenses of preparing and distributing prospectus and SAI supplements, and auditor fees); and

 

    the potential for greater economies of scale and lower expenses, resulting from greater asset growth over time.

 

If the Reorganizations are approved by shareholders and are consummated, Legg Mason is expected to achieve higher profitability due to decreased costs and increased revenue including from a potential increase in assets under management.

 

143


Legg Mason is expected to reduce the level of its operational expenses for administrative, compliance and portfolio management services as the number of separate funds declines. In addition, to the extent that the reorganizations help to streamline the fund family, encourage a more focused marketing and distribution effort, reduce investor confusion, produce better performance, and generally make the funds more attractive investment vehicles to the investing public, Legg Mason will benefit from the increased revenues of rising asset levels. Furthermore, certain Acquired Funds currently have fees waived under voluntary expense caps. Legg Mason will benefit from no longer having to waive such fees. (On the other hand, Legg Mason has agreed to an expense cap for the Acquiring Funds that will require it to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses for one year from the date of the next annual prospectus update after the Reorganizations.)

 

More specifically, with respect to the Reorganizations proposed in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Boards of the respective Acquired Funds made the following determinations, among others:

 

Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund: The Board noted that the Acquired Fund is a niche product that has not been able to achieve sufficient asset size and is not expected to grow substantially in the future and that the Acquired Fund has experienced net redemptions for the past two years. The Board also acknowledged that the Reorganization is expected to streamline the investment products available to the distribution force and will thereby encourage a more focused marketing and distribution effort so as to promote asset growth and reduce the likelihood of asset shrinkage. This, in turn, may provide enhanced opportunities for realizing greater economies of scale in the form of lower expenses over time and/or reduce the difficulties in managing a fund with shrinking assets. The Board also noted that the Acquiring Fund outperformed the Acquired Fund on a one- and five-year basis through March 31, 2006. Finally, the Board noted that any applicable deferred sales charge will be waived on redemptions of Acquired Fund shares until the Closing Date of the Reorganization due to the unavailability of a similar fund in the fund family.

 

The Board recognized that Acquired Fund shareholders would no longer have a concentrated portfolio of technology securities. Although as of March 31, 2006 the Acquiring Fund had 36% of its assets invested in the technology sector, the Board noted the allocation to the technology sector could be changed at any time in the discretion of the portfolio manager and that shareholders who purchased the Acquired Fund to fulfill a specific portfolio requirement would no longer have this option. In addition, the Board noted that approximately $147 million (92%) of the Acquired Fund’s tax capital loss carry forwards will expire unutilized due to the tax limitations imposed by the Reorganization. However, as a result of the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund’s shareholders will benefit from the capital loss carry forward of the Acquiring Fund. The Board also recognized that the Acquired Fund’s net unrealized gain as a percentage of net assets would increase from approximately 4% to 22% as a result of the Reorganization. Finally, the Board noted that the Acquired Fund out-performed the Acquiring Fund on a three-year annualized basis through March 31, 2006.

 

Legg Mason Partners National Municipals Fund: The Board noted that the Reorganization is being proposed in order to streamline the investment products lineup, eliminate product duplication, improve marketing focus and reduce investor confusion. The proposal is to consolidate two national municipal funds with similar investment strategies and the same portfolio managers. Combining the funds will allow for sales and marketing focus on one larger fund, improving the long-term viability of the combined fund and the potential for attracting increased assets.

 

The Reorganization is expected to streamline the investment products available to the distribution force and will thereby encourage a more focused marketing and distribution effort so as to promote asset growth and reduce the likelihood of asset shrinkage. This, in turn, may provide enhanced opportunities for realizing greater economies of scale in the form of lower expenses over time and/or reduce the difficulties in managing a shrinking fund. The elimination of duplicative funds should reduce the potential for investor confusion about similar funds.

 

The Board recognized that the Acquired Fund has outperformed the Acquiring Fund for all time periods, but noted that in June 2006 the management team of the Acquiring Fund took over management of the Acquired Fund.

 

The Board also recognized that the Acquired Fund has a contractual management fee of 0.45%, which is below industry averages and lower than that of the Acquiring Fund. The Board took into account that the Acquiring Fund’s effective management fee of 0.49% is competitive with fund peers of comparable size. Management will revise the Acquiring Fund’s management fee schedule to add an additional breakpoint of 0.40% at asset levels over $2.5 billion, which is expected to reduce the Acquiring Fund’s management fees to 0.47% after the assets of the Acquired Fund(s) are added in the Reorganization. As a result, the Board recognized that management fees will increase by 0.02% (rather than 0.04%) on all

 

144


shares classes. Further, the Board recognized that total operating expenses will increase by 0.03% (and 0.02% net of the contractual expense cap) on Class A shares, 0.04% (and 0.02% net of the contractual expense cap) on Class B shares and 0.02% on Class C shares.

 

The Board also noted that the Acquiring Fund will enter into an agreement to cap the total operating expenses of Class A and Class B shares for at least one year from the date of the next annual prospectus update of the Acquiring Fund following the Reorganization. At the end of this period management will review expenses to determine whether the cap should be extended.

 

Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund: The Board noted that the Reorganization is being proposed in order to streamline the investment products lineup, eliminate product duplication, improve marketing focus and reduce investor confusion by combining two funds with similar investment strategies (and certain other state-specific municipal bond funds) into a larger fund.

 

The Reorganization is expected to streamline the investment products available to the distribution force and will thereby encourage a more focused marketing and distribution effort so as to promote asset growth and reduce the likelihood of asset shrinkage. This, in turn, may provide enhanced opportunities for realizing greater economies of scale in the form of lower expenses over time and/or reduce the difficulties in managing a shrinking fund. The elimination of duplicative funds should reduce the potential for investor confusion about similar funds.

 

The Board recognized that shareholders of the Acquiring Fund would benefit from lower contractual management fees (but higher management fees taking into account the elimination of a current management fee waiver on the Acquired Fund) and lower expected operating expenses for all share classes (with the exception of Class O shares, which will be converted to Class Y shares of the Acquiring Fund, for which total operating expenses are expected to remain the same). In addition, management will revise the Acquiring Fund’s management fee schedule to add an additional breakpoint of 0.40% at asset levels over $2.5 billion, which is expected to reduce the Acquiring Fund’s management fees to 0.47% (from 0.49% without the addition of such breakpoint) after the assets of the Acquired Fund(s) are added in the Reorganization. The Board also noted that the Acquiring Fund will enter into an agreement to cap the total operating expenses of Class A and Class B shares for at least one year from the date of the next annual prospectus update of the Acquiring Fund following the Reorganization. At the end of this period management will review expenses to determine whether the cap should be extended.

 

The Board also noted that the Acquired Fund may not invest more than 20% of its assets in securities that pay interest subject to the AMT, while the Acquiring Fund has no such limit. In 2005, 11.69% of the Acquiring Fund’s dividends were subject to the AMT, while 10.50% of the Acquired Fund’s dividends were subject to the AMT. It is not advantageous to have exposure to AMT paper when the spread between the yield on AMT paper and non-AMT paper is insufficient to compensate for the tax consequences of having such exposure. Each shareholder’s tax consequences are different, so the exposure to AMT paper may not be a disadvantage to all shareholders of the Fund at the same time. In addition, the Board noted that approximately $2.6 million (62%) of the Acquired Fund’s tax capital loss carry forwards will expire unutilized due to the tax limitations imposed by the Reorganization. Further, the Acquired Fund’s net unrealized gain as a percentage of net assets would increase from approximately 0% to 6% as a result of the Reorganization.

 

Legg Mason Partners Georgia Municipals Fund: The Board recognized the Acquired Fund has a small asset base and limited market growth potential. Reorganizing into a larger national municipal bond fund will provide shareholders with an ongoing federal tax benefit, although these shareholders will no longer receive the dedicated state tax benefit. The Board also recognized that while the Acquired Fund’s management fees would be 0.02% higher than those of the Acquired Fund, total operating expenses for the Acquired Fund will decline for all share classes on a gross and net basis. In addition, management will revise the Acquiring Fund management fee schedule to add an additional breakpoint of 0.40% at asset levels over $2.5 billion, which is expected to reduce the Acquiring Fund’s management fees to 0.47% (from 0.49% without the addition of such breakpoint) after the assets of the Acquired Fund(s) are added in the Reorganization. In addition, the Acquiring Fund has a better performance track record for the 1-, 3- and 5-years ended March 31, 2006. Any applicable deferred sales charge will be waived on redemptions of Acquired Fund shares until the Closing Date of the Reorganization due to the unavailability of a similar fund in the fund family. The Board also noted that the Acquiring Fund will enter into an agreement to cap the total operating expenses of Class A and Class B shares for at least one year from the date of the next annual prospectus update of the Acquiring Fund following the Reorganization. At the end of this period management will review expenses to determine whether the cap should be extended.

 

145


The Board next noted that a combination of the Acquired Fund into one larger fund is expected to reduce the likelihood of asset shrinkage and provide for better marketing and sales focus and improved long-term viability of the investment strategy for shareholders, and may result in economies of scale in the form of lower expenses over time and/or reduce the difficulties in managing a fund with shrinking assets.

 

The Board also recognized that shareholders lose the benefit of a fund that concentrates on paying dividends exempt from Georgia income taxes. In 2005, 0.81% of the Acquiring Fund’s dividends were exempt from Georgia income taxes, while 100% of the Acquired Fund’s dividends were exempt from Georgia income taxes.

 

Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc.: The Board noted that the Acquired Fund has a small asset base and limited market growth potential. Reorganizing into a larger national municipal bond fund will provide shareholders with an ongoing federal tax benefit, although these shareholders will no longer receive the dedicated state tax benefit. The Board also recognized the lower management fees and operating expenses for all share classes as a result of the Reorganization. In addition, management will revise the Acquiring Fund’s management fee schedule to add an additional breakpoint of 0.40% at asset levels over $2.5 billion, which is expected to reduce the Acquiring Fund’s management fees to 0.47% (from 0.49% without the addition of such breakpoint) after the assets of the Acquired Fund(s) are added in the Reorganization. In addition, the Acquiring Fund also has a better performance record based on 1-, 3- and 5-year average annualized total returns for the periods ended March 31, 2006. Any applicable deferred sales charge will be waived on redemptions of Acquired Fund shares until the Closing Date of the Reorganization due to the unavailability of a similar fund in the fund family. The Board also noted that the Acquiring Fund will enter into an agreement to cap the total operating expenses of Class A and Class B shares for at least one year from the date of the next annual prospectus update of the Acquiring Fund following the Reorganization. At the end of this period management will review expenses to determine whether the cap should be extended.

 

The Board noted that a combination of the Acquired Fund into a larger fund is expected to reduce the likelihood of asset shrinkage and provide for better marketing and sales focus and improved long-term viability of the investment strategy for shareholders. It also may result in economies of scale in the form of lower expenses over time and/or reduce the difficulties in managing a fund with shrinking assets.

 

The Board also recognized that shareholders would lose the benefit of a fund that concentrates on paying dividends exempt from Arizona income taxes. In 2005 1.83% of the Acquiring Fund’s dividends were exempt from Arizona income taxes, while 100% of the Acquired Fund’s were exempt from Arizona income taxes. Additionally, the Acquired Fund’s net unrealized gain as a percentage of net assets would increase from approximately 0% to 6% as a result of the Reorganization.

 

Legg Mason Partners Florida Municipals Fund: The Board noted that the primary reason for maintaining the Acquired Fund was to provide Florida taxpayers with a tax-advantaged municipal fund with income exempt from federal income tax and principal exempt from the Florida intangibles personal property tax. Over the last several years, the Florida intangibles personal property tax has decreased from a rate of 0.20% to 0.05%. Florida has repealed the intangibles tax effective on January 1, 2007. Because the tax benefit for Florida residents of owning Florida municipal securities will be eliminated, the benefit of owning a fund that invests substantially in Florida municipal securities is greatly diminished.

 

The Board recognized that the combined Fund will provide Florida investors with the ability to invest in a national portfolio whose income is excluded from gross income for federal income tax. In addition, the Acquired Fund will benefit from lower management fees and total operating expenses across all share classes. Further, management will revise the Acquiring Fund management fee schedule to add an additional breakpoint of 0.40% at asset levels over $2.5 billion, which is expected to reduce the Acquiring Fund’s management fees to 0.47% (from 0.49% without the addition of such breakpoint) after the assets of the Acquired Fund(s) are added in the Reorganization. The Board also noted that the Acquired Fund outperformed the Acquiring Fund for the one-year period ended March 31, 2006. The Board also noted that the Acquiring Fund will enter into an agreement to cap the total operating expenses of Class A and Class B shares for at least one year from the date of the next annual prospectus update of the Acquiring Fund following the Reorganization. At the end of this period management will review expenses to determine whether the cap should be extended.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

 

Each of the Reorganizations is conditioned upon the receipt by each of the Acquired Funds of an opinion from Dechert LLP, substantially to the effect that, based upon certain facts, assumptions and representations of the parties, for federal income tax purposes:

 

(i) The acquisition by each of the Acquiring Funds of all of the assets of each of the Acquired Funds solely in exchange for shares of each of the respective Acquiring Funds and the assumption by the each of the Acquiring Funds of all of the liabilities of each of the respective Acquired Funds, followed by the distribution by each of the Acquired Funds to its shareholders of shares of each of the respective Acquiring Funds and termination of each of the Acquired Funds, all pursuant to each of the Plans, each constitutes a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code;

 

(ii) Each of the Acquired Funds will not recognize gain or loss upon the transfer of its assets to each of the Acquiring Funds in exchange for shares of each of the Acquiring Funds and the assumption of all of the liabilities of each of the Acquired Funds by each of the Acquiring Funds; and each of the Acquired Funds will not recognize gain or loss upon the distribution to its shareholders of shares of each of the Acquiring Funds and termination of each of the Acquired Funds;

 

(iii) Shareholders will not recognize gain or loss on the receipt of shares of each of Acquiring Funds solely in exchange for shares of each of the Acquired Funds pursuant to each of the Reorganizations;

 

(iv) The aggregate basis of the shares of each of the Acquiring Funds received by each Shareholder pursuant to the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate basis of the shares of each of the Acquired Funds exchanged therefor;

 

(v) The holding period of the shares of each of the Acquiring Funds received by each Shareholder pursuant to each of the Reorganizations will include the holding period of the shares of each of the Acquired Funds exchanged therefor, provided that the Shareholder held the shares of each of the Acquired Funds as a capital asset at the time of the Reorganization;

 

(vi) Each of the Acquiring Funds will not recognize gain or loss upon the receipt of the assets of each of the Acquired Funds in exchange for shares of each of the Acquiring Funds and the assumption by each of the Acquiring Funds of all of the liabilities of each of the Acquired Funds;

 

(vii) The basis of the assets of each of the Acquired Funds transferred to each of the Acquiring Funds in each of the Reorganizations will be the same in the hands of each of the Acquiring Funds as the basis of such assets in the hands of each of the Acquired Funds immediately prior to the transfer; and

 

(viii) The holding periods of the assets of each of the Acquired Funds transferred to each of the Acquiring Funds in the reorganization in the hands of each of the Acquiring Funds will include the periods during which such assets were held by each of the Acquired Funds (except to the extent that the investment activities of each of the Acquiring Funds acts to reduce or eliminate such holding period).

 

While neither the Acquired Funds nor the Acquiring Funds are aware of any adverse state or local tax consequences of the proposed Reorganization, they have not requested any ruling or opinion with respect to such consequences and shareholders should consult their own tax adviser with respect to such matters.

 

Immediately prior to the Reorganization, each of the Acquired Funds, to the extent necessary, will pay a dividend or dividends, which together with all previous dividends, are intended to have the effect of distributing to its shareholders all of its investment company taxable income for taxable years ending on or prior to the Closing Date (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) and all of its net capital gain, if any, realized in taxable years ending on or prior to the Closing Date (after reduction for any available capital loss carryover). Such dividends will be included in the taxable income of each of the respective Acquired Fund’s shareholders.

The Reorganization would impact the use of these loss carryforwards in the following manner: (1) the expiration dates of the loss carryforwards would move up by approximately one year and realign themselves with the fiscal year end of Legg Mason Partners Large Cap Growth Fund; for example, the losses due to expire on October 31, 2008 would expire on November 30, 2007; (2) the loss carryforwards will benefit the shareholders of the combined fund, rather than only the shareholders of Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund; (3) the loss carryforwards may not be available to offset any capital gains recognized after the Reorganization that are attributable to appreciation in Legg Mason Partners Large Cap Growth Fund’s portfolio at the time of the Reorganization; and (4) the amount of losses that can be utilized in any taxable year is equal to the long-term tax-exempt rate at the time of the Reorganization multiplied by the aggregate net asset value of the Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund at the time of Reorganization (approximately $2,900,000 per year based on data as of August 2006).

 

The combination of these limitations on the use of loss carryforwards are expected to result in a significant portion (approximately $146,800,000 based on data as of August 2006) of Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund’s loss carryforwards expiring unused. It should be noted that there would be no assurances that Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund would be able to use such losses in the absence of the Reorganization.

Information Applicable to All Funds with Capital Loss Carryovers

 

Since the Reorganizations are not expected to close until February or March 2007, the capital loss carryforwards and limitations described above may change significantly between now and the completion of the Reorganizations. Further, the ability of each of the Acquired and Acquiring Funds to use these losses (even in the absence of a Reorganization) depends on factors other than loss limitations, such as the future realization of capital gains or losses. The combination of these factors

 

151


on the use of loss carryforwards may result in some portion of the loss carryforwards of each of the Acquired or Acquiring Funds, or both, expiring unused.

 

Effect of Proposed “Shell” Reorganizations of the Funds

 

In a separate proxy statement, shareholders of each Acquired and Acquiring Fund are being asked to approve a number of governance-related matters, including the consolidation of the Boards, so that each of the Funds would be overseen by one of two boards, with one board focusing on equity funds and the other board focusing on fixed income funds. Most funds in the fund complex will participate in a restructuring initiative. The first step of this initiative will be a number of reorganizations that will group equity funds together and fixed income funds together, while also reducing the number of separate legal entities in the fund complex. The approval of shareholders of many funds in the fund complex, including Legg Mason Partners Florida Municipals Fund, Legg Mason Partners Georgia Municipals Fund, Legg Mason Partners National Municipals Fund and Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund, is required for the reorganization of their funds. Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund, Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc., Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. and Legg Mason Partners Large Cap Growth Fund will participate in such a reorganization, but the approval of shareholders is not required. As a second step in the restructuring initiative, it is proposed that the funds in the fund complex adopt the Maryland business trust form of organization. Shareholders of certain existing trusts in the fund complex, including Legg Mason Partners Large Cap Growth Fund, are being asked to approve the reorganization of their trusts into Maryland business trusts. If these shareholders approve the reorganizations, all of the series of the existing trusts, including the new series that result from the first step reorganizations of the funds described above, will become series of the new Maryland business trusts.

 

If shareholders of an Acquired Fund approve the Reorganization Agreement for that Fund, it is intended that the Reorganization be effective before these restructurings. In such event, the Acquired Fund would not go through the two-step restructuring mentioned above.

 

As noted in Appendix K, each Acquiring Fund is organized as a Maryland corporation or a series of a Massachusetts business trust. Assuming all required approvals with regard to the restructurings are obtained and the shareholders of an Acquired Fund approve the Reorganization Agreement, then the corresponding Acquiring Fund would become a series of a Maryland business trust and the Acquired Fund’s shareholders would become shareholders of that series of a Maryland business trust following the closing of the Reorganization and restructurings. On the other hand, if shareholders of an Acquired Fund approve the Reorganization Agreement but all required approvals with regard to the restructurings applicable to the corresponding Acquiring Fund are not obtained, then the Acquiring Fund will remain a Maryland corporation, a series of a Maryland corporation or a series of a Massachusetts business trust, as the case may be, if the first step is not approved, or will become or will remain a series of a Massachusetts business trust, as the case may be, if the second step is not approved, and the shareholders of the Acquired Fund would become shareholders of that entity as a result of the Reorganization and restructurings.

 

A comparison of Maryland corporations, Massachusetts business trusts and Maryland business trusts is attached to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus as Appendix G.

 

TERMINATION OF THE ACQUIRED FUNDS

 

If the Reorganizations are effected, each of the Acquired Funds will be terminated, and each of the Acquired Fund’s issued and outstanding shares will be redeemed or canceled, as the case may be.

 

PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

 

If each of the Reorganizations is effected, management will analyze and evaluate the portfolio securities of each of the Acquired Funds being transferred to each of the Acquiring Funds. Consistent with each of the Acquiring Fund’s investment objectives and policies, any restrictions imposed by the Code and in the best interests of each of the Acquiring Fund’s shareholders (including former shareholders of each of the Acquired Funds), management will influence the extent and duration to which the portfolio securities of each of the Acquired Funds will be maintained by each of the Acquiring Funds. It is possible that there may be some dispositions of the portfolio securities of each of the Acquired Funds in connection with

 

152


the Reorganizations. Subject to market conditions at the time of any such disposition, the disposition of the portfolio securities of each of the Acquired Funds may result in a capital gain or loss. The actual tax consequences of any disposition of portfolio securities will vary depending upon the specific security(ies) being sold and each Acquiring Fund’s ability to use any available loss carryforwards.

 

No securities of any Acquired Fund need to be sold in order for the corresponding Acquiring Fund to comply with its investment restrictions or policies. The Funds may buy and sell securities in the normal course of their operations.

 

INFORMATION ABOUT MANAGEMENT OF THE ACQUIRING FUNDS

 

Investment Manager and Sub-Advisers

Certain Legal Proceedings

 

Beginning in June 2004, class action lawsuits alleging violations of the federal securities laws were filed against Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”) and a number of its then affiliates, including Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (“SBFM”), which were then investment adviser or manager to certain of the Funds (the “Managers”), substantially all of the mutual funds then managed by the Managers (the “Defendant Funds”), and Board Members of the Defendant Funds (collectively, the “Defendants”). The complaints alleged, among other things, that CGMI created various undisclosed incentives for its brokers to sell Smith Barney and Salomon Brothers funds. In addition, according to the complaints, the Managers caused the Defendant Funds to pay excessive brokerage commissions to CGMI for steering clients towards proprietary funds. The complaints also alleged that the defendants breached their fiduciary duty to the Defendant Funds by improperly charging Rule 12b-1 fees and by drawing on fund assets to make undisclosed payments of soft dollars and excessive brokerage commissions. The complaints also alleged that the Defendant Funds failed to adequately disclose certain of the allegedly wrongful conduct. The complaints sought injunctive relief and compensatory and punitive damages, rescission of the Defendant Funds’ contracts with the Managers, recovery of all fees paid to the Managers pursuant to such contracts and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.

 

On December 15, 2004, a consolidated amended complaint (the “Complaint”) was filed alleging substantially similar causes of action. On May 27, 2005, all of the Defendants filed motions to dismiss the Complaint. On July 26, 2006, the court issued a decision and order (1) finding that plaintiffs lacked standing to sue on behalf of the shareholders of the Defendant Funds in which none of the plaintiffs had invested (including all Funds in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus except Legg Mason Partners Large Cap Growth Fund) and dismissing those Defendant Funds from the case (although stating that they could be brought back into the case if standing as to them could be established), and (2) other than one stayed claim, dismissing all of the causes of action against the remaining Defendants, with prejudice, except for the cause of action under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act, which the court granted plaintiffs leave to replead as a derivative claim.

 

On October 16, 2006, plaintiffs filed their Second Consolidated Amended Complaint (“Second Amended Complaint”) which alleges derivative claims on behalf of nine funds identified in the Second Amended Complaint, including Legg Mason Partners Large Cap Growth Fund and Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund, under Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act, against Citigroup Asset Management, Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc, SBFM and CGMI as investment advisers to the identified funds, as well as CGMI as a distributor for the identified funds (collectively, the “Second Amended Complaint Defendants”). The remaining Funds in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus were not identified in the Second Amended Complaint. The Second Amended Complaint alleges no claims against any of the Funds or any of their Board Members. Under Section 36(b), the Second Amended Complaint alleges similar facts and seeks similar relief against the Second Amended Complaint Defendants as the Complaint.

 

Additional lawsuits arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed in the future.

 

On May 31, 2005, the SEC issued an order in connection with the settlement of an administrative proceeding against SBFM, the then-investment adviser or manager to certain of the Funds, and CGMI, relating to the appointment of an affiliated transfer agent for the Smith Barney family of mutual funds (the “Affected Funds”).

 

The SEC order found that SBFM and CGMI willfully violated Section 206(1) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Advisers Act”). Specifically, the order found that SBFM and CGMI knowingly or recklessly failed to disclose to the boards of the Affected Funds in 1999 when proposing a new transfer agent arrangement with an affiliated transfer agent that: First Data Investors Services Group (“First Data”), the Affected Funds’ then-existing transfer agent, had offered to continue as transfer agent and do the same work for substantially less money than before; and that Citigroup Asset

 

154


Management (“CAM”), the Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”) business unit that, at the time, included the Affected Funds’ investment manager and other investment advisory companies, had entered into a side letter with First Data under which CAM agreed to recommend the appointment of First Data as sub-transfer agent to the affiliated transfer agent in exchange, among other things, for a guarantee by First Data of specified amounts of asset management and investment banking fees to CAM and CGMI. The order also finds that SBFM and CGMI willfully violated Section 206(2) of the Advisers Act by virtue of the omissions discussed above and other misrepresentations and omissions in the materials provided to the Affected Funds’ boards, including the failure to make clear that the affiliated transfer agent would earn a high profit for performing limited functions while First Data continued to perform almost all of the transfer agent functions, and the suggestion that the proposed arrangement was in the Affected Funds’ best interests and that no viable alternatives existed. SBFM and CGMI do not admit or deny any wrongdoing or liability. The settlement does not establish wrongdoing or liability for purposes of any other proceeding.

 

The SEC censured SBFM and CGMI and ordered them to cease and desist from violations of Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Advisers Act. The order required Citigroup to pay $208.1 million, including $109 million in disgorgement of profits, $19.1 million in interest, and a civil money penalty of $80 million. Approximately $24.4 million has already been paid to the Affected Funds, primarily through fee waivers. The remaining $183.7 million, including the penalty, has been paid to the U.S. Treasury and will be distributed pursuant to a plan submitted for the approval of the SEC. At this time, there is no certainty as to how the above-described proceeds of the settlement will be distributed, to whom such distributions will be made, the methodology by which such distributions will be allocated, and when such distributions will be made. The order also required that transfer agency fees received from the Affected Funds since December 1, 2004, less certain expenses, be placed in escrow and provided that a portion of such fees might be subsequently distributed in accordance with the terms of the order. On April 3, 2006, an aggregate amount of approximately $9 million held in escrow was distributed to the Affected Funds.

 

The order required SBFM to recommend a new transfer agent contract to the Fund boards within 180 days of the entry of the order; if a Citigroup affiliate submitted a proposal to serve as transfer agent or sub-transfer agent, SBFM and CGMI would have been required, at their expense, to engage an independent monitor to oversee a competitive bidding process. On November 21, 2005, and within the specified timeframe, the Affected Funds’ Boards selected a new transfer agent for the Affected Fund. No Citigroup affiliate submitted a proposal to serve as transfer agent. Under the order, SBFM also must comply with an amended version of a vendor policy that Citigroup instituted in August 2004.

 

Although there can be no assurance, SBFM does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Affected Funds.

 

On December 1, 2005, Citigroup completed the sale of substantially all of its global asset management business, including SBFM, to Legg Mason.

 

Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund is not an Affected Fund, and therefore did not implement the transfer agent arrangements described above. It has not received any portion of the distributions made as of the date of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and will not receive such distribution.

 

On or about May 30, 2006, John Halebian, a purported shareholder of Citi New York Tax Free Reserves, a series of CitiFunds Trust III (the “Trust”), filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the independent trustees (the “Independent Trustees”) of the Trust (Elliott J. Berv, Donald M. Carlton, A. Benton Cocanougher, Mark T. Finn, Stephen Randolph Gross, Diana R. Harrington, Susan B. Kerley, Alan G. Merten and R. Richardson Pettit). The Independent Trustees serve on the Board of Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund, and most of such Independent Trustees have been nominated to serve on the Board of Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. The Trust is also named in the complaint as a nominal defendant.

 

The complaint alleges both derivative claims on behalf of the Trust and class claims on behalf of a putative class of shareholders of the Trust in connection with the 2005 sale of Citigroup’s asset management business to Legg Mason and the related approval of new investment advisory agreements by the trustees and shareholders. In the derivative claim, the plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the Independent Trustees breached their fiduciary duty to the Trust and its shareholders by failing to negotiate lower fees or seek competing bids from other qualified investment advisers in connection with Citigroup’s sale to Legg Mason. In the claims brought on behalf of the putative class of shareholders, the plaintiff alleges that the Independent Trustees violated the proxy solicitation requirements of the 1940 Act, and breached their fiduciary duty to shareholders, by virtue of the voting procedures, including “echo voting,” used to obtain approval of the

 

155


new investment advisory agreements and statements made in a proxy statement regarding those voting procedures. The plaintiff alleges that the proxy statement was misleading because it failed to disclose that the voting procedures violated the 1940 Act. The relief sought includes an award of damages, rescission of the advisory agreements, and an award of costs and attorney fees.

 

In advance of filing the complaint, Mr. Halebian’s lawyers made written demand for relief on the Board of the Trust, and the Independent Trustees formed a demand review committee to investigate the matters raised in the demand, and subsequently in the complaint, and recommend a course of action to the Board. The committee, after a thorough review, has determined that the Independent Trustees did not breach their fiduciary duties as alleged by Mr. Halebian, and that the action demanded by Mr. Halebian would not be in the best interests of the Trust. The Board of the Trust (the trustee who is an “interested person” of the Trust, within the meaning of the 1940 Act, having recused himself from the matter), after receiving and considering the committee’s report and based upon the findings of the committee, subsequently also has so determined and, adopting the recommendation of the committee, has directed counsel to move to dismiss Mr. Halebian’s complaint. A motion to dismiss was filed on October 23, 2006. No assurance can be given as to the outcome of this matter.

 

The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Additional lawsuits presenting allegations and requests for relief arising out of or in connection with any of the foregoing matters may be filed against these and related parties in the future.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ACQUIRED FUNDS AND THE ACQUIRING FUNDS

 

Legg Mason and certain of the Acquiring Funds’ service providers, which include Legg Mason-affiliated service providers, have a financial interest in the Reorganizations because their respective fees under agreements with the Acquiring

Funds generally increase as the amount of the assets of the Acquiring Funds increase, and the amount of those assets will increase as a result of the Reorganizations (although this increase in assets is expected to be offset by the concomitant loss of the Acquired Fund’s assets).

 

Information about the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds is included in the Prospectuses and Fund SAIs, annual reports and semi-annual reports filed with the SEC and dated as listed in Appendix L. Copies of these documents, the SAI

Distributors

 

Legg Mason Investor Services, LLC (“LMIS”), located at 100 Light Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202, CGMI, located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013, and PFS Investments Inc. (“PFS”), located at 3100 Breckenridge Boulevard, Bldg. 200, Duluth, Georgia 30199, serve as each Acquiring Fund’s co-distributors. LMIS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Legg Mason.

 

A distributor may make payments for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities out of its past profits and other available sources. A distributor may also make payments to dealers for marketing, promotional or related expenses. The amount of these payments is determined by the distributor and may be substantial. Legg Mason or an affiliate may make similar payments under similar arrangements.

 

The payments described above are often referred to as “revenue sharing payments.” The recipients of such payments may include the Funds’ distributors, affiliates of Legg Mason, broker-dealers, financial institutions and other financial intermediaries through which investors may purchase shares of the Funds. In some circumstances, such payments may create

 

157


an incentive for an intermediary or its employees or associated persons to recommend or sell shares of a Fund to you. Please contact your financial intermediary for details about revenue sharing payments it may receive.

 

FORM OF ORGANIZATION

 

As discussed above under “Information about the Proposed Reorganizations—Effect of Proposed “Shell” Reorganizations of the Funds,” it is proposed that the Funds be reorganized as series of Massachusetts business trusts aligned by asset class in order to reduce the number of registrants and that the surviving Massachusetts business trusts be reorganized as Maryland business trusts. A comparison of Maryland corporations, Massachusetts business trusts and Maryland business trusts is attached to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus as Appendix G. In addition, each Fund’s current form of organization is set out in Appendix K.

 

It is being proposed, in separate proxy materials, that shareholders of each Fund approve the consolidation of the Funds’ current boards into one of two boards, one for equity funds and one for fixed income funds. If the consolidated Boards are elected by Fund shareholders and the transactions described in the preceding paragraph are consummated, the Equity Board will oversee Legg Mason Partners Large Cap Growth Fund and the Fixed Income Board will oversee Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc.

 

A comparison of the current composition of the Funds’ Boards and their proposed composition is attached to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus as Appendix I.

A shareholder may revoke a proxy at any time on or before the Meeting by either (1) submitting to the applicable Acquired Fund a subsequently dated proxy, (2) delivering to the applicable Acquired Fund a written notice of revocation (addressed to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Acquired Fund at the address shown at the beginning of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus) or (3) otherwise giving notice of revocation at the Meeting, at all times prior to the exercise of the authority granted in the proxy card. Merely attending the Meeting, however, will not revoke any previously executed proxy. Unless revoked, all valid and executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the specifications thereon or, in the absence of such specifications, for approval of the Reorganization Agreement and the Reorganization contemplated thereby.

 

Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, we ask that you sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card or vote by telephone or through the Internet. This will help us ensure that an adequate number of shares are present for the Meeting to be held.

 

Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for the Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the Meeting. The inspectors of election will treat abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name,” as to which proxies have been returned but (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as present for purposes of determining a quorum.

 

Broker-dealer firms holding shares of a Fund in “street name” for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares with respect to approval of the Reorganization Agreement before the Meeting. The NYSE may take the position that a broker-dealer that is a member of the NYSE and that has not received instructions from a customer or client prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm’s request for

 

161


voting instructions may not vote such customer or client’s shares with respect to approval of the Reorganization Agreement. A signed proxy card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of Fund shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner’s shares should be voted on the proposal may be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the proposal.

 

If you hold shares of an Acquired Fund through a bank or other financial institution or intermediary (called a service agent) that has entered into a service agreement with the Acquired Fund or a distributor of the Acquired Fund, the service agent may be the record holder of your shares. At the Meeting, a service agent will vote shares for which it receives instructions from its customers in accordance with those instructions. A signed proxy card or other authorization by a shareholder that does not specify how the shareholder’s shares should be voted on the proposal may be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the proposal. Depending on its policies, applicable law or contractual or other restrictions, a service agent may be permitted to vote shares with respect to which it has not received specific voting instructions from its customers. In those cases, the service agent may, but may not be required to, vote such shares in the same proportion as those shares for which the service agent has received voting instructions. This practice is commonly referred to as “echo voting.”

 

If you beneficially own shares that are held in “street name” through a broker-dealer or that are held of record by a service agent, and if you do not give specific voting instructions for your shares, they may not be voted at all or, as described above, they may be voted in a manner that you may not intend. Therefore, you are strongly encouraged to give your broker-dealer or service agent specific instructions as to how you want your shares to be voted.

 

Photographic identification will be required for admission to the Meeting.

 

Proxy Solicitation

 

Management will pay all the printing, proxy solicitation, mailing and postage costs of each Reorganization, 75% of the costs attributable to the other proxy materials being sent to shareholders of all the Legacy CAM Funds and 50% of the additional out-of-pocket costs, such as legal fees, expenses relating to the preparation and filing of various regulatory documents, expenses of preparing and distributing prospectus and SAI supplements, and auditor fees. Solicitation may be made by letter or telephone by officers or employees of Legg Mason, or by dealers and their representatives. Brokerage houses, banks and other fiduciaries may be requested to forward proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owner of shares of the applicable Fund to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies. Legg Mason will reimburse brokerage firms, custodians, banks and fiduciaries for their expenses in forwarding the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of each Acquired Fund’s shares. In addition, Legg Mason, on behalf of each Fund, has retained Computershare Fund Services, Inc. (“Computershare”), a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the solicitation of proxies. It is anticipated that Computershare will be paid approximately $302,000 for such solicitation services, to be borne by Legg Mason. Computershare may solicit proxies personally and by telephone. Each Fund’s portion of the foregoing expenses is not subject to any contractual cap or voluntary agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses that may otherwise apply to that Fund.

 

Quorum

 

The quorum requirement for each Acquired Fund is a majority of shares entitled to vote. A Fund’s shareholders may hold a Meeting for that Fund if the quorum requirement for that Fund is met, regardless of whether any other Fund’s quorum requirement is met.

 

Vote Required

 

For each Acquired Fund, approval of a Reorganization Agreement will require, if a quorum is present at the Meeting, the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Acquired Fund, which under applicable law means as the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting power of the voting securities present at the Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Acquired Fund are present at the Meeting or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Acquired Fund. Shareholders each of the Acquired Funds are entitled to one vote for each share and fractional shares are entitled to proportional voting rights.

 

Effect of Abstentions and Broker “Non-Votes”

 

For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Meeting, executed proxies marked as abstentions and broker “non-votes” (i.e., proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received

 

162


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 for quorum purposes but which have not been voted. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against adjournment and against Proposal 1, except with respect to Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund, for which abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on a vote to adjourn and will have the effect of a vote against Proposal 1, and with respect to Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc., for which abstentions and broker non-votes (1) will have no effect on an adjournment to solicit additional votes and (2) will have the effect of a vote against an adjournment to attain a quorum and Proposal 1. Accordingly, shareholders are urged to sign and date their proxy card and forward their voting instructions promptly.

 

Adjournments

 

If the necessary quorum to transact business or the vote required to approve a proposal is not obtained at the Meeting, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting in accordance with applicable law to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment due to insufficient votes will require an affirmative vote by the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, except with respect to Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund, for which any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast, and except with respect to Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc., for which an adjournment (1) to attain a quorum will require the affirmative vote of a majority of votes present at the Meeting and entitled to vote thereon and (2) to solicit additional votes will require a majority of votes cast. If in the judgment of persons named as proxies, it is advisable to defer action on one or more proposals, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting with respect to such proposal or proposals for a reasonable period or periods. With respect to the Acquired Funds that are Massachusetts Funds, in the event of an adjournment, no further notice is needed other than an announcement at the Meeting to be adjourned. With respect to the Acquired Funds that are Maryland Corporations, the Meeting may be adjourned up to 120 days after the original record date for the Meeting without further notice other than announcement at the Meeting.

 

Future Shareholder Proposals

 

The Acquired Funds do not hold annual meetings of shareholders. A shareholder proposal intended to be presented at a future special meeting of shareholders of an Acquired Fund must be received at the offices of the Fund, 125 Broad Street, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10004, in accordance with the time periods set forth in any advance notice bylaws applicable to the Acquired Fund or, if no such time period is specified, at a reasonable time before the Fund begins to print and mail its proxy materials. Timely submission of a proposal does not guarantee that such proposal will be included in a proxy statement.

Only shareholders of record of each Acquired Fund at the close of business on November 3, 2006 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting and at any postponement or adjournment thereof.

FORM OF

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

 

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (“Agreement”) is made as of this      day of                  , 2006, by and among [                    ], a [Massachusetts business trust/Maryland corporation] (the “Acquiring Entity”), with its principal place of business at [125 Broad Street, New York, New York 10004/100 Light Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202], on behalf of its series [name of series] (the “Acquiring Fund”), [                    ], a [Massachusetts business trust/Maryland corporation] (the “Acquired Entity”), with its principal place of business at [125 Broad Street, New York, New York 10004/100 Light Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202], [on behalf of its series [name of series]] (the “Acquired Fund”), and, solely for purposes of paragraph 10.2 hereof, Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC.

 

WHEREAS, each of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund is a series or the sole series of an open-end management investment company registered pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”);

 

WHEREAS, it is intended that, for United States federal income tax purposes (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g);

 

WHEREAS, the reorganization will consist of (1) the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of all of the property and assets of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for classes of shares of [beneficial interest/common stock] of the Acquiring Fund (the “Acquiring Fund Shares”) corresponding to the classes of outstanding shares of [beneficial interest/common stock] of the Acquired Fund (the “Acquired Fund Shares”), as described herein, (2) the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all liabilities of the Acquired Fund, and [(3) the distribution of the Acquiring Fund Shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund and termination of the Acquired Fund] [(3) the subsequent distribution of the Acquiring Fund Shares and any of the remaining properties and assets to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund and the termination of the Acquired Fund], as provided herein (the “Reorganization”), all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement;

 

[Include if Acquired Entity will have no remaining series after the Reorganization:] WHEREAS, following the Reorganization, the Acquired Entity will deregister as an investment company in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”);]

 

[Include if Acquired Entity is organized in Massachusetts and will have no remaining series after the Reorganization: WHEREAS, following the effective date of its deregistration, the Acquired Entity shall voluntarily dissolve in accordance with Massachusetts law;]

 

WHEREAS, the Acquired Fund currently owns securities that are generally assets of the character in which the Acquiring Fund is permitted to invest;

 

WHEREAS, the Board of [Trustees/Directors] of the Acquiring Entity (the “Acquiring Entity Board”) has determined, with respect to the Acquiring Fund, that the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of all of the property and assets of the Acquired Fund for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption of all liabilities of the Acquired Fund by the Acquiring Fund is in the best interests of the Acquiring Fund and its shareholders and that the interests of the existing shareholders of the Acquiring Fund will not be diluted as a result of this transaction;

A-1


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

 

1. [FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS BUSINESS TRUSTS: TRANSFER OF ASSETS OF THE ACQUIRED FUND TO THE ACQUIRING FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR ACQUIRING FUND SHARES, THE ASSUMPTION OF ALL ACQUIRED FUND LIABILITIES AND THE LIQUIDATION OF THE ACQUIRED FUND] [FOR THE MARYLAND CORPORATIONS: TRANSFER OF THE ASSETS OF THE ACQUIRED FUND TO THE ACQUIRING FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR ACQUIRING FUND SHARES, THE ASSUMPTION OF ALL ACQUIRED FUND LIABILITIES, THE SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTION OF ACQUIRING FUND SHARES AND THE TERMINATION OF THE ACQUIRED FUND]

 

1.1 Subject to requisite approvals and the other terms and conditions herein set forth and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, the Acquired Entity, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, agrees to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver all of its property and assets, as set forth in paragraph 1.2, to the Acquiring Fund, and the Acquiring Entity, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, agrees in exchange therefor: (a) to deliver to the Acquired Fund the number of full and fractional Acquiring Fund Shares corresponding to each class of the Acquired Fund Shares as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 3.1, determined by dividing the value of the Acquired Fund’s net assets with respect to each class of the Acquired Fund (computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 2.1) by the net asset value of one 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); and (b) to assume all liabilities of the Acquired Fund. Such transactions shall take place on a closing date as provided for in paragraph 3.1 (the “Closing Date”). [Add as appropriate: For purposes of this Agreement, the Class [    ] shares of the Acquired Fund correspond to the Class [    ] shares of the Acquiring Fund, and the term “Acquiring Fund Shares” should be read to include each such class of shares of the Acquiring Fund.]

 

1.2 The property and assets of the Acquired Entity, attributable to the Acquired Fund, to be sold, assigned, conveyed, transferred and delivered to and acquired by the Acquiring Entity, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, shall consist of all assets and property of every kind and nature of the Acquired Fund, including, without limitation, all rights, receivables (including dividend, interest and other receivables), cash, cash equivalents, claims (whether absolute or contingent, known or unknown), securities, commodities and futures interests, good will and other intangible property, any deferred or prepaid expenses and all interests, rights, privileges and powers, the Acquired Fund owns at the Valuation Date (as defined in paragraph 2.1) (collectively, “Assets”). The Acquiring Entity, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, shall assume all of the liabilities and obligations of the Acquired Fund, including, without limitation, all indemnification obligations of the Acquired Fund with respect to the current and former members of the Acquired Entity Board and officers of the Acquired Entity, whether accrued or contingent, known or unknown, existing at the Valuation Date (collectively, “Liabilities”). The Acquired Fund will sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver to the Acquiring Entity, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, any rights, stock dividends, or other securities received by the Acquired Fund after the Closing Date as stock dividends or other distributions on or with respect to the property and assets transferred, which rights, stock dividends, and other securities shall be deemed included in the property and assets transferred to the Acquiring Entity, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, at the Closing Date and shall not be separately valued, in which case any such distribution that remains unpaid as of the Closing Date shall be included in the determination of the value of the assets of the Acquired Fund acquired by the Acquiring Entity on behalf of the Acquiring Fund.

 

1.3 The Acquired Fund will make reasonable efforts to discharge all of its known Liabilities prior to the Valuation Date.

 

1.4 On or as soon as practicable prior to the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund will declare and pay to its shareholders of record one or more dividends and/or other distributions so that it will have distributed substantially all of its investment company taxable income as defined in the Code (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) and realized net capital gain as defined in the Code (after deduction for any available capital loss carryover), if any, for all tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date (and treating the current taxable year as ending on the Closing Date) such that the Acquired Fund will have no tax liability under Section 852 or Section 4982 for the current and any prior tax periods.

 

1.5 Immediately following the actions contemplated by paragraph 1.1, the Acquired Entity shall [take such actions necessary to complete the reorganization of the Acquired Fund. To complete the reorganization, the Acquired Entity, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, shall] (a) distribute to the latter’s shareholders of record with respect to each class of Acquired Fund Shares as of the Closing Date (“Acquired Fund Shareholders”), on a pro rata basis within that class, the Acquiring Fund Shares of the corresponding class received by the Acquired Entity, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, pursuant to paragraph 1.1 [and (b) completely liquidate and dissolve in accordance with Massachusetts law] [and (b) thereafter, redeem

 

A-2


or cancel, as the case may be, shares of the Acquired Fund in accordance with Maryland law and (c) terminate the Acquired Fund]. Such distribution [and liquidation] shall be accomplished, with respect to each class of Acquired Fund Shares, by the transfer of the corresponding Acquiring Fund Shares then 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 names of the Acquired Fund Shareholders. The aggregate net asset value of each class of Acquiring Fund Shares to be so credited to each corresponding class of Acquired Fund Shareholders shall, with respect to each class, be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Acquired Fund Shares of each corresponding class owned by Acquired Fund Shareholders on the Closing Date. [All issued and outstanding Acquired Fund Shares will be redeemed or canceled, as the case may be, on the books of the Acquired Fund.] The Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing any class of Acquiring Fund Shares in connection with such exchange.

 

1.6 Ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares will be shown on the books of the Acquiring Fund’s transfer agent.

 

1.7 Any reporting responsibility of the Acquired Fund, including, but not limited to, the responsibility for filing regulatory reports, tax returns, or other documents with the [Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”)] [if already defined: Commission], any state securities commission, and any federal, state or local tax authorities or any other relevant regulatory authority, is and shall remain the responsibility of the Acquired Entity, on behalf of the Acquired Fund. [The Acquiring Entity shall fully cooperate to the extent necessary or desirable for these responsibilities to be discharged.]

 

[Include if the Acquired Entity is organized in Massachusetts and has no remaining series following the Reorganization: 1.8 As promptly as practicable following the Reorganization, the Acquired Entity will take all necessary action to effect its deregistration as an investment company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission and shall subsequently voluntarily dissolve in accordance with the requirements of Massachusetts law.]

 

2. VALUATION

 

2.1 The value of the Assets and the amount of the Liabilities shall be determined as of the time for calculation of net asset value as set forth in the then-current prospectus for the Acquired Fund, and after the declaration of any dividends by the Acquired Fund, on the Closing Date (such time and date being hereinafter called the “Valuation Date”), computed using the valuation procedures established by the Acquired Entity Board. All computations of value and amounts shall be made by (a) State Street Bank and Trust Company, in its capacity as accounting agent for the Acquired Fund, or (b) in the case of securities subject to fair valuation, in accordance with the valuation procedures of the Acquired Entity adopted in good faith by the Acquired Entity Board. All computations of value and amounts pursuant to this paragraph 2.1 shall be subject to confirmation by the Acquiring Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

2.2. The net asset value per share of each class of Acquiring Fund Shares shall be determined to the nearest full cent on the Valuation Date, using the valuation procedures established by the Acquiring Entity Board. All computations of value shall be made by (a) State Street Bank and Trust Company, in its capacity as accounting agent for the Acquiring Fund, or (b) in the case of securities subject to fair valuation, in accordance with the valuation procedures of the Acquiring Entity adopted in good faith by the Acquiring Entity Board. All computations of value pursuant to this paragraph 2.2 shall be subject to confirmation by the Acquired Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

2.3 The number of Acquiring Fund Shares of each class to be issued in exchange for the Assets shall be determined with respect to each such class by dividing the value of the net assets with respect to each class of Acquired Fund Shares, determined using the same valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1, by the net asset value of an Acquiring Fund Share of the corresponding class, determined using the same valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.2.

 

3. CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE

 

3.1 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Closing Date shall be [                ], 2007, or such other date as the parties may agree. All acts taking place at the closing of the transactions provided for in this Agreement (“Closing”) shall be deemed to take place simultaneously as of the “close of business” on the Closing Date unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. The close of business on the Closing Date shall be as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time or such later time on that date as the Acquired Fund’s net asset value and/or the net asset value per share of each class of shares of the Acquiring Fund is calculated in accordance with paragraph 2.2 and after the declaration of any dividends. The Closing shall be held at the offices of [ ] or at such other time and/or place as the parties may agree.

 

A-3


3.2 The Acquired Entity shall direct State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Custodian”) to transfer ownership of the Assets from the accounts of the Acquired Fund that the Custodian maintains as custodian for the Acquired Fund to the accounts of the Acquiring Fund that the Custodian maintains as custodian for the Acquiring Fund and to deliver to the Acquiring Entity, at the Closing, a certificate of an authorized officer stating that (i) the Assets of the Acquired Fund have been so transferred as of the Closing Date, and (ii) all necessary taxes in connection with the delivery of the Assets of the Acquired Fund, including all applicable federal and state stock transfer stamps, if any, have been paid or provision for payment has been made.

 

3.3 The Acquired Entity shall direct [                    ], in its capacity as transfer agent for the Acquired Fund (“Transfer Agent”), to deliver to the Acquiring Entity at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that its records contain the name and address of each Acquired Fund Shareholder and the number and percentage ownership of each outstanding class of Acquired Fund Shares owned by each such shareholder immediately prior to the Closing. The Acquiring Fund shall deliver to the Secretary of the Acquired Fund a confirmation evidencing that (a) the appropriate number of Acquiring Fund Shares have been credited to the Acquired Fund’s account on the books of the Acquiring Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.1 prior to the actions contemplated by paragraph 1.4 and (b) the appropriate number of Acquiring Fund Shares have been credited to the accounts of the Acquired Fund Shareholders on the books of the Acquiring Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.4. At the Closing, each party shall deliver to the other party such bills of sale, checks, assignments, share certificates, if any, receipts or other documents as the other party or its counsel may reasonably request.

 

3.4 In the event that on the Valuation Date (a) the New York Stock Exchange or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of the Acquiring Fund or the Acquired Fund (each, an “Exchange”) shall be closed to trading or trading thereupon shall be restricted, or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on such Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of the Acquired Fund or the Acquiring Fund is impracticable (in the judgment of the Acquiring Entity Board with respect to the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Entity Board with respect to the Acquired Fund), the Closing Date shall be postponed until the first Friday (that is also a business day) after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.

 

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

4.1 Except as has been fully disclosed to the Acquiring Entity in Schedule 4.1 of this Agreement, the Acquired Entity, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, represents and warrants to the Acquiring Entity and the Acquiring Fund as follows:

 

(a) The Acquired Fund is duly established as a series of the Acquired Entity, which is a [business trust/corporation] duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the [Commonwealth of Massachusetts/State of Maryland], with power under its [Declaration of Trust/Articles of Incorporation], as amended and/or supplemented (the “Acquired Entity Charter”), to own all of its assets and to carry on its business as it is being conducted as of the date hereof. The Acquired Entity is duly qualified to do business as a foreign [trust/corporation] in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business makes such qualification necessary except where the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), business, properties, net assets or results of operations of the Acquired Entity. The Acquired Entity has all necessary federal, state and local authorization to carry on its business as now being conducted and to fulfill the terms of this Agreement, except as set forth in paragraph 4.1(c).

 

(b) The Acquired Entity is a registered open-end management investment company, and its registration with the Commission as an investment company under the 1940 Act, and the registration of each class of Acquired Fund Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”), is in full force and effect.

 

(c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any court or governmental authority is required for the consummation by the Acquired Fund of the transactions contemplated herein, except such as may be required under the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the 1940 Act, state securities laws and the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act.

 

(d) The current prospectus and statement of additional information of the Acquired Fund (true and correct copies of which have been delivered to the Acquiring Entity) and each prospectus and statement of additional information of the Acquired Fund used during the three (3) years prior to the date of this Agreement conforms or conformed at the time of its use in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and does not or did not at the time of its use include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading.

 

A-4


(e) On the Closing Date, the Acquired Entity, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, will have good and marketable title to the Assets and full right, power and authority to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver such Assets hereunder free of any liens or other encumbrances, and upon delivery and payment for the Assets, the Acquiring Entity, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, will acquire good and marketable title thereto, subject to no restrictions on the full transfer thereof, excluding such restrictions as might arise under the 1933 Act.

 

(f) The Acquired Fund is not engaged currently, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Acquired Entity, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, will not result, in a material violation of [Massachusetts/Maryland] law or of the Acquired Entity Charter or the by-laws of the Acquired Entity, or of any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease or other undertaking to which the Acquired Entity, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, is a party or by which it is bound, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Acquired Entity, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, will not result in the acceleration of any material obligation, or the imposition of any material penalty, under any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease, judgment or decree to which the Acquired Entity, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, is a party or by which it is bound.

For the purposes of this subparagraph (j), a decline in net asset value per share of Acquired Fund Shares due to declines in market values of securities held by the Acquired Fund, the discharge of Acquired Fund liabilities, or the redemption of Acquired Fund Shares by shareholders of the Acquired Fund shall not constitute a material adverse change.

APPENDIX B

 

Purchases, Redemptions and Exchanges of Fund Shares—

Other Shareholder Information

 

This section describes the classes of shares that the Acquiring Funds will make available after the Reorganizations are effected and how shareholders may buy and sell Fund shares. It also describes how the Funds value their securities and the Funds’ policies on frequent trading of Fund shares.

 

Choosing a class of shares to buy

 

Individual investors can choose among three classes of shares: Classes A, B, and C. Retirement Plans with omnibus accounts held on the books of the Funds can generally choose among three classes of shares: Class A, Class C and Class I shares. Other Retirement Plan investors investing through brokerage accounts can choose among three classes of shares: Class A, Class B and Class C. Individual retirement vehicles, such as IRAs, may also choose among these share classes. Clients of Eligible Financial Intermediaries may generally choose among two classes of shares: Class A and Class I. Institutional Investors may invest in Class I shares if the $1,000,000 minimum initial investment requirement is met. Institutional Investors may also invest in other share classes offered by a fund to individual investors (generally, Class A, B and C shares), which have different investment minimums and fees and expenses. Each class has different sales charges and expenses, allowing you to choose the class that best meets your needs. Not all Funds offer all classes.

 

When choosing which class of shares to buy, you should consider:

 

    How much you plan to invest;

 

    How long you expect to own the shares;

 

    The expenses paid by each class detailed in the Fee Table and Example at the front of the Prospectus; and

 

    Whether you qualify for any reduction or waiver of sales charges.

 

If you are choosing between Class A and Class B shares, it will in almost all cases be the more economical choice for you to purchase Class A shares if you plan to purchase shares of an equity or fixed income fund of $100,000 or more (whether in a single purchase or through aggregation of eligible holdings). This is because of the reduced sales charge available on larger investments of Class A shares and the lower ongoing expenses of Class A shares compared to Class B shares.

 

You may buy shares from:

 

    Certain broker/dealers, financial intermediaries, financial institutions, Smith Barney Financial Advisors or PFS Registered Representatives (each called a “Service Agent”).

 

    The Fund, but only if you are investing through certain qualified plans or Service Agents.

 

Different types of shareholder services may be available to you under arrangements offered by different Service Agents. In addition, these services may vary depending on the share class in which you choose to invest. In making your decision regarding which share class may be best for you, please keep in mind that your Service Agent may receive different compensation depending on the share class in which you invest. Investors should consult with their Service Agent about comparative pricing of shareholder services available to them under each available share class, the compensation that will be received by their Service Agent in connection with each available share class, and other factors that may be relevant to the investor’s decision as to the best share class in which to invest.

 

Not all classes of shares are available through all Service Agents. You should contact your Service Agent for further information.

 

Retirement plan investors generally should not invest in Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. because such shareholders will not benefit from the tax-free nature of the Fund’s income distributions.

(2) Retirement plans include 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit-sharing plans, non-qualified deferred compensation plans and other similar employer-sponsored retirement plans. Retirement Plans do not include individual retirement vehicles, such as traditional and Roth individual retirement accounts, Coverdell education savings accounts, individual 403(b)(7) custodial accounts, Keogh plans, SEPs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE IRAs or Section 529 savings accounts.
(3) Clients of Eligible Financial Intermediaries are investors who invest in the Fund through financial intermediaries that offer Class A or I shares through investment programs as authorized by LMIS. Such investment programs may include fee-based advisory or brokerage account programs, and college savings vehicles such as Section 529 plans. The financial intermediary may impose separate investment minimums.
(4) As of November 20, 2006, Class A and Class B shares are no longer offered through Service Agents to Retirement Plans with omnibus accounts held on the books of the Fund. However, Retirement Plans that hold Class A or Class B shares prior to that date will continue to be permitted to make additional investments in that Class. Certain existing programs for current or prospective Retirement Plan investors sponsored by financial intermediaries will also remain eligible for Class A shares. Under these programs, the initial sales charge and deferred sales charge for Class A shares is waived where: such Retirement Plan’s record keeper offers only load-waived shares, Fund shares are held on the books of the Fund through an omnibus account, and the Retirement Plan has more than 100 participants, or has total assets exceeding $1 million.
(5) Minimums may be imposed by a financial intermediary.
(6) Institutional Investors generally include corporations, banks, insurance companies, foundations, retirement plans and other similar entities with direct relationships to the Fund. As of November 20, 2006, Class I shares are generally offered only to Institutional Investors (unless a client of a financial intermediary).
(7) The $1 million investment amount does not apply to investors who invest in the Fund through financial intermediaries that offer their clients Class I shares through investment programs, although certain investment minimums may be imposed by a financial intermediary.
(8) With respect to Class A and Class C shares, as applicable, a Fund may pay a recordkeeping fee which is used to compensate Service Agents for recordkeeping services associated with the applicable share class.

 

Plan sponsors, plan fiduciaries and other financial intermediaries may choose to impose qualification requirements for plans that differ from the Fund’s share class eligibility standards. In certain cases this could result in the selection of a share class with higher service and distribution related fees than would otherwise have been charged. The Fund is not responsible for, and has no control over, the decision of any plan sponsor, plan fiduciary or financial intermediary to impose such differing requirements. Please consult with your plan sponsor, plan fiduciary or financial intermediary for more information about available share classes.

Sales charge

 

Class A shares

 

You buy Class A shares at the offering price, which is the net asset value plus a sales charge. You pay a lower sales charge as the size of your investment increases to certain levels called breakpoints. You do not pay a sales charge on the Funds’ distributions or dividends you reinvest in additional Class A shares.

 

The table below shows the rate of sales charge you pay on Class A shares, depending on the amount you purchase.

 

The table below also shows the amount of broker/dealer compensation that is paid out of the sales charge. This compensation includes commissions received by Service Agents that sell shares of the Fund. For Class A shares sold by LMIS, LMIS will receive the sales charge imposed on purchases of Class A shares (or any deferred sales charge paid on redemptions) and will retain the full amount of such sales charge. For Class A shares sold by CGMI, CGMI will receive the sales charge imposed on purchases of Class A shares and will retain an amount equal to the broker-dealer commission paid out of the sales charge. LMIS will receive any portion not retained by CGMI. For shares sold by PFS, PFS will receive the sales charge imposed on purchases of Class A shares (or any deferred sales charge paid on redemptions) and will retain the full amount of such sales charge. Service Agents (including CGMI and PFS) also will receive a fee payable on Class A shares at an annual rate of up to 0.25% for equity Funds and 0.15% for long-term fixed income Funds of the average daily net assets represented by the Class A shares serviced by them.

* A distributor may pay up to 1.00% to a Service Agent for purchase amounts of $1 million or more. In such cases, starting in the thirteenth month after purchase, the Service Agent will also receive an annual fee of up to 0.25% for equity Funds of the average daily net assets represented by the Class A shares held by its clients. Prior to the thirteenth month, the distributor will retain this fee. Where the Service Agent does not receive the payment of this commission, the Service Agent will instead receive the annual fee starting immediately after purchase. In certain cases, the Service Agent may receive both a payment of the commission and the annual fee immediately after purchase. As of November 20, 2006, the commission of up to 1.00% will no longer be paid to Service Agents for purchases by retirement plans with a direct omnibus relationship with the Fund. However, for certain retirement plans that are permitted to purchase shares at net asset value on or after this date, LMIS may continue to pay Service Agents commissions of up to 1.00% of the purchase price of the additional Class A shares that are purchased with regular ongoing plan contributions. Please contact your Service Agent for more information.

* A distributor may pay a commission of up to 1.00% to a Service Agent for purchase amounts of $1 million or more. In such cases, starting in the thirteenth month after purchase, the Service Agent will also receive an annual fee of up to 0.15% for long-term fixed income Funds of the average daily net assets represented by the Class A shares held by its clients. Prior to the thirteenth month, the distributor will retain this fee. Where the Service Agent does not receive the payment of this commission, the Service Agent will instead receive the annual fee starting immediately after purchase. In certain cases, the Service Agent may receive both a payment of the commission and the annual fee immediately after purchase. As of November 20, 2006, the commission of up to 1.00% will no longer be paid to Service Agents for purchases by retirement plans with a direct omnibus relationship with the fund. However, for certain retirement plans that are permitted to purchase shares at net asset value on or after this date, LMIS may continue to pay Service Agents commissions of up to 1.00% of the purchase price of the additional Class A shares that are purchased with regular ongoing plan contributions. Please contact your Service Agent for more information.

 

Investments at net asset value

 

You do not pay an initial sales charge when you buy $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of an equity or long-term fixed income fund. However, if you redeem these Class A shares within one year of purchase, you will pay a deferred sales charge of 1.00%.

 

Qualifying for a reduced Class A sales charge

 

There are several ways you can combine multiple purchases of Legg Mason Partners Funds to take advantage of the breakpoints in the Class A sales charge schedule. In order to take advantage of reductions in sales charges that may be available to you when you purchase fund shares, you must inform your Service Agent or the transfer agent if you have entered into a letter of intent or a right of accumulation and if there are other accounts in which there are holdings eligible to be aggregated with your purchases. Certain records, such as account statements, may be necessary in order to verify your eligibility for reduced sales charges.

 

B-5


Accumulation Privilege—lets you combine the current value of Class A shares of the Fund with all other shares of Legg Mason Partners Funds that are owned by:

 

    you; or

 

    your spouse and children under the age of 21;

 

with the dollar amount of your next purchase of Class A shares for purposes of calculating the initial sales charge.

 

Shares of certain money market funds advised by the manager or its affiliates (other than money market fund shares acquired by exchange from other Legg Mason Partners Funds), Legg Mason Partners S&P 500 Index Fund and Class O shares of Legg Mason Partners Equity Fund, Inc. may not be combined.

 

If you hold shares of Legg Mason Partners Funds in accounts at two or more different Service Agents, please contact your Service Agents to determine which shares may be combined.

 

Certain trustees and fiduciaries may be entitled to combine accounts in determining their sales charge.

 

Letter of Intent—lets you purchase Class A shares of Legg Mason Partners Funds over a 13-month period and pay the same sales charge on Class A shares, if any, as if all shares had been purchased at once. At the time you enter into the letter of intent, you select your asset goal amount. Generally, purchases of any Legg Mason Partners Fund shares that are purchased during the 13-month period by:

 

    you; or

 

    your spouse and children under the age of 21

 

are eligible for inclusion under the letter, based on the public offering price at the time of the purchase, and any capital appreciation on those shares. You may also backdate your letter up to 90 days in which case eligible purchases made during that period will be treated as purchases made under the letter. In addition, you can include towards your asset goal amount the current value of any eligible purchases that were made prior to the date of entering into the letter of intent and are still held.

 

If you hold shares of Legg Mason Partners Funds in accounts at two or more different Service Agents, please contact your Service Agents to determine which shares may be combined.

 

Shares of certain money market funds advised by the manager or its affiliates (other than money market fund shares acquired by exchange from other Legg Mason Partners funds), Legg Mason Partners S&P 500 Index Fund and Class O Shares of Legg Mason Partners Equity Fund, Inc. may not be combined.

 

If you do not meet your asset goal amount, shares in the amount of any sales charges due, based on the amount of your actual purchases, will be redeemed from your account.

 

Waivers for certain Class A investors

 

Class A initial sales charges are waived for certain types of investors, including:

 

    Employees of Service Agents having dealer, service or other selling agreements with the Fund’s distributors

 

    Investors who redeemed Class A shares of a Legg Mason Partners fund in the past 60 days, if the investor’s Service Agent is notified

 

    Directors and officers of any Legg Mason-sponsored fund

 

    Employees of Legg Mason, Inc. and its subsidiaries

 

Existing retirement plans (including plans with an omnibus relationship with a Fund) holding Class A shares will continue to be eligible to purchase Class A shares on a load-waived basis.

 

If you qualify for a waiver of the Class A initial sales charge, you must provide sufficient information to your Service Agent or the Transfer Agent at the time of purchase to permit verification that your purchase qualifies for such waiver.

Class B shares

 

You buy Class B shares at net asset value without paying an initial sales charge. However, if you redeem your Class B shares within five years of your purchase payment, you will pay a deferred sales charge. The deferred sales charge decreases as the number of years since your purchase payment increases.

LMIS will pay Service Agents other than PFS, including CGMI, selling Class B shares a commission of up to 4.00% of the purchase price of the Class B shares they sell and LMIS will retain the deferred sales charges. For Class B shares sold by PFS, PFS will pay the commission of up to 4.00% of the purchase price of the Class B shares sold by its Service Agents and will retain the deferred sales charges paid upon certain redemptions. Service Agents also receive a service fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% for equity and 0.15% for long-term fixed income Funds of the average daily net assets represented by the Class B shares serviced by them.

 

Shares of the former Salomon Brothers funds issued before the date of platform consolidation will maintain their current deferred sales charge schedule but shares issued on or after the date of platform consolidation will be subject to the above deferred sales charge schedule.

 

Class B conversion

 

After approximately 8 years, Class B shares automatically convert into Class A shares; however, Class B shares of Salomon Brothers Funds issued before the effective date of the changes will continue to convert to Class A shares at the end of the seventh year. This helps you because Class A shares have lower annual expenses. Your Class B shares will convert to Class A shares as follows:

 

Shares issued: At initial purchase    Shares issued: On reinvestment of dividends and distributions    Shares issued: Upon exchange from another Legg Mason Partners fund
Eight years after the date of purchase payment (Salomon Brothers Funds issued before the effective date of the changes will continue to convert to Class A shares at the end of the seventh year)    In the same proportion as the number of Class B shares converting is to total Class B shares you own (excluding shares issued as dividends)    On the date the shares originally acquired would have converted into Class A shares

 

Shares of the former Salomon Brothers funds issued before the date of platform consolidation will convert to Class A shares at the end of the seventh year but shares issued on or after the date of platform consolidation will convert to Class A shares at the end of the eighth year.

 

Class C shares

 

As of November 20, 2006, retirement plans with omnibus accounts held on the books of the Funds will not be subject to a deferred sales charge on shares redeemed within one year of purchase.

 

B-7


You buy Class C shares at net asset value without paying an initial sales charge. However, if you redeem your Class C shares within one year of purchase, you will pay a deferred sales charge as follows:

LMIS will pay Service Agents selling Class C shares (other than on shares sold to omnibus accounts of Retirement Plans held on the books of the Funds) a commission of up to 1.00% (for equity funds) or 0.75% (for long-term fixed income funds) of the purchase price of the Class C shares they sell and will retain the deferred sales charges and the distribution and service fee until the thirteenth month after purchase. Starting in the thirteenth month after purchase, Service Agents will receive an annual fee of up to 1.00% (for equity funds) or up to 0.70% (for long-term fixed income funds) of the average daily net assets represented by the Class C shares serviced by them.

 

As of November 20, 2006, starting immediately after purchase LMIS will pay Service Agents selling Class C shares to Retirement Plans with omnibus accounts held on the books of the Funds an annual fee of up to 1.00% for equity Funds of the average daily net assets represented by the Class C shares serviced by them.

 

Purchases prior to September 14, 1998. Class C shares of a Salomon Brothers Fund purchased prior to September 14, 1998 will continue to be subject to the deferred sales charge schedules in effect at the time such purchase was made. Shares purchased with reinvested dividend or capital gain distributions relating to shares purchased prior to September 14, 1998 will be subject to the deferred sales charge schedules in effect at the time the original shares were purchased. Shares of a Salomon Brothers Fund acquired as a result of an exchange of shares purchased prior to September 14, 1998 will also be subject to the deferred sales charge schedules in effect at the time the original shares were purchased.

 

More about deferred sales charges

 

The deferred sales charge is based on the net asset value at the time of purchase or redemption, whichever is less. Therefore, your sales charge will not take into account any subsequent appreciation or depreciation.

 

In addition, you do not pay a deferred sales charge on:

 

    Shares exchanged for shares of another Legg Mason Partners Fund;

 

    Shares representing reinvested distributions and dividends; or

 

    Shares no longer subject to the deferred sales charge.

 

Each time you place a request to redeem shares, the Funds will first redeem any shares in your account that are not subject to a deferred sales charge and then the shares in your account that have been held the longest.

 

If you redeemed shares of a Legg Mason Partners Fund and paid a deferred sales charge, you may, under certain circumstances, reinvest at NAV all or part of the redemption proceeds within 60 days and receive pro rata credit for any deferred sales charge imposed on the prior redemption. Please contact your Service Agent for additional information.

 

LMIS receives deferred sales charges as partial compensation for its expenses in selling shares, including the payment of compensation to your Service Agent.

 

Deferred sales charge waivers

 

The deferred sales charge for each share class will generally be waived:

 

    On payments made through certain systematic withdrawal plans

 

    On certain distributions from a retirement plan

 

    For involuntary redemptions of small account balances

 

    For 12 months following the death or disability of a shareholder

Class I shares

 

As of November 20, 2006, Class Y shares were renamed Class I shares. You buy Class I shares at net asset value with no initial sales charge and no deferred sales charge when you redeem. Class I shares are offered to institutional investors, including corporations, banks, insurance companies, foundations, retirement plans and other similar entities, and may be offered to other investors in the discretion of a distributor. Class I shares are also offered to investors who invest in the Funds through financial intermediaries that offer their clients Class I shares through investment programs as authorized by LMIS, such as (i) fee-based advisory or brokerage account programs, (ii) employee benefit plans such as 401(k), 457 or 403(b) retirement plans or (iii) college savings vehicles such as 529 plans. Investors who held Class I shares prior to November 20, 2006 will continue to be permitted to make additional investments in Class I shares.

 

Investors in Class I shares must generally meet the $1,000,000 minimum initial investment requirement. The $1,000,000 minimum investment amount does not apply to investors who invest in the Funds through financial intermediaries that offer their clients Class I shares through investment programs, although certain investment minimums may be imposed by a financial intermediary.

Small account balances/Mandatory redemptions

 

If at any time the aggregate value of the Fund shares in your account is less than $500 for any reason (including solely due to declines in net asset value and/or failure to invest at least $500 within a reasonable period), the Funds reserve the right to ask you to bring your account up to the applicable minimum investment amount as determined by your Service Agent. In such case you shall be notified in writing and will have 60 days to make an additional investment to bring your account value up to the required level. If you choose not to do so within this 60-day period, the Funds may close your account and send you the redemption proceeds. In the event your account is closed due to a failure to increase your balance to the minimum required amount, you will not be eligible to have your account subsequently reinstated without imposition of any sales charges that may apply to your new purchase. The Funds may, with prior notice, change the minimum size of accounts subject to the mandatory redemption, which may vary by class, or implement fees for small accounts.

 

Subject to applicable law, the Funds may, with prior notice, adopt other policies from time to time requiring mandatory redemption of shares in certain circumstances.

 

For more information contact your Service Agent or the transfer agent.

 

Frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares

 

Frequent purchases and redemptions of mutual fund shares may interfere with the efficient management of a Fund’s portfolio by its portfolio managers, increase portfolio transaction costs, and have a negative effect on a Fund’s long-term shareholders. For example, in order to handle large flows of cash into and out of a fund, the portfolio managers may need to allocate more assets to cash or other short-term investments or sell securities, rather than maintaining full investment in securities selected to achieve the fund’s investment objective. Frequent trading may cause a Fund to sell securities at less favorable prices. Transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions and market spreads, can detract from the Fund’s performance. In addition, the return received by long-term shareholders may be reduced when trades by other shareholders are made in an effort to take advantage of certain pricing discrepancies, when, for example, it is believed that the Fund’s share price, which is determined at the close of the NYSE on each trading day, does not accurately reflect the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Funds investing in foreign securities have been particularly susceptible to this form of arbitrage, but other funds could also be affected.

 

Because of the potential harm to the fund and its long-term shareholders, the Funds’ Boards have approved policies and procedures that are intended to discourage and prevent excessive trading and market timing abuses through the use of various surveillance techniques. Under these policies and procedures, the Funds may limit additional exchanges or purchases of Fund shares by shareholders who are believed by the manager to be engaged in these abusive trading activities. The intent of the policies and procedures is not to inhibit legitimate strategies, such as asset allocation, dollar cost averaging, or similar activities that may nonetheless result in frequent trading of Fund shares. For this reason, the Boards have not adopted any specific restrictions on purchases and sales of Fund shares, but the Funds reserve the right to reject any exchange or purchase of Fund shares with or without prior notice to the account holder. In cases where surveillance of a particular account establishes what the manager believes to be obvious market timing, the manager will seek to block future purchases and exchanges of Fund shares by that account. Where surveillance of a particular account indicates activity that the manager believes could be either abusive or for legitimate purposes, the Fund may permit the account holder to justify the activity.

 

The policies apply to any account, whether an individual account or accounts with financial intermediaries such as investment advisers, broker dealers or retirement plan administrators, commonly called omnibus accounts, or retirement plan accounts where the intermediary holds Fund shares for a number of its customers in one account. The Funds’ distributors have entered into agreements with intermediaries requiring the intermediaries to provide certain information to help identify frequent trading activity and to prohibit further purchases or exchanges by a shareholder identified as having engaged in frequent trading.

 

The Funds’ policies also require personnel such as portfolio managers and investment staff to report any abnormal or otherwise suspicious investment activity, and prohibits short-term trades by such personnel for their own account in mutual

 

B-13


funds managed by the manager and its affiliates, other than money market funds. Additionally, the Funds have adopted policies and procedures to prevent the selective release of information about the Funds’ portfolio holdings, as such information may be used for market-timing and similar abusive practices.

 

The Funds’ policies provide for ongoing assessment of the effectiveness of current policies and surveillance tools, and the Funds’ Boards reserve the right to modify these or adopt additional policies and restrictions in the future. Shareholders should be aware, however, that any surveillance techniques currently employed by the Funds or other techniques that may be adopted in the future, may not be effective. As noted above, if the Funds are unable to detect and deter trading abuses, the Funds’ performance, and their long-term shareholders, may be harmed. In addition, because the Funds have not adopted any specific limitations or restrictions on the trading of Fund shares, shareholders may be harmed by the extra costs and portfolio management inefficiencies that result from frequent trading of Fund shares, even when the trading is not for abusive purposes. The Funds will provide advance notice to shareholders and prospective investors of any specific restrictions on the trading of fund shares that the Boards may adopt in the future.

 

Share certificates

 

The Acquiring Funds will not issue share certificates for shares to be issued in the Reorganization. Share certificates of the Acquired Funds will be null and void.

 

Record ownership

 

If you hold shares through a Service Agent, your Service Agent may establish and maintain your account and be the shareholder of record. In the event that the Fund holds a shareholder meeting, your Service Agent, as record holder, will vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. If you do not give your Service Agent voting instructions, your Service Agent may nonetheless, under certain circumstances, be entitled to vote your shares.

 

Share price

 

You may buy, exchange or redeem shares at their net asset value next determined after receipt of your request in good order plus any applicable sales charge. Each Fund’s net asset value per share is the value of its assets minus its liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding. Net asset value is calculated separately for each class of shares. The Funds calculate their net asset values every day the NYSE is open. This calculation is done when regular trading closes on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). The NYSE is closed on certain holidays listed in each Fund’s SAI. If the NYSE does close early, the Fund accelerates calculation of NAV and transaction deadlines to the actual closing time.

 

The Boards have approved procedures to be used to value the Funds’ securities for the purposes of determining the Funds’ net asset value. The valuation of the securities of the Funds is determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Boards. The Boards have delegated certain valuation functions for the Funds to the manager.

 

The Funds generally values their securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the NYSE. The Funds’ currency valuations, if any, are done as of when the London stock exchange closes, which is usually at 12 noon Eastern time. For equity securities that are traded on an exchange, the market price is usually the closing sale or official closing price on that exchange. In the case of securities not traded on an exchange, or if such closing prices are not otherwise available, the market price is typically determined by independent third party pricing vendors approved by the Funds’ Boards using a variety of pricing techniques and methodologies. The market price for debt obligations is generally the price supplied by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Boards, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Short-term debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, unless it is determined that using this method would not reflect an investment’s fair value. If vendors are unable to supply a price, or if the price supplied is deemed by the manager to be unreliable, the market price may be determined using quotations received from one or more brokers/dealers that make a market in the security. When such prices or quotations are not available, or when the manager believes that they are unreliable, the manager may price securities using fair value procedures approved by the Boards. Certain Funds may invest in securities of small capitalization companies or high yield debt securities, some of which may be thinly traded, for which market quotations may not be readily available or may be unreliable. Those Funds may use fair valuation procedures more frequently than Funds that invest primarily in securities that are more liquid, such as securities of large capitalization domestic issuers. The Funds may also use fair value procedures if the manager determines that a significant event has occurred between the time at which a market price is determined and the time at which a Fund’s net asset value is calculated.

In particular, the value of foreign securities may be materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market on which they are valued, but before the fund prices its shares. The fund uses a fair value model developed by an independent third party pricing service to price foreign equity securities on days when there is a certain percentage change in the value of a domestic equity security index, as such percentage may be determined by the manager from time to time.

 

Valuing securities at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuation of securities based on readily available market quotations. A Fund that uses fair value to price securities may value those securities higher or lower than another fund using market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same securities. There can be no assurance that the Funds could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the time at which a Fund determines its net asset value.

 

In order to buy, redeem or exchange shares at that day’s price, you must place your order with your Service Agent or the transfer agent before the NYSE closes. If the NYSE closes early, you must place your order prior to the actual closing time. Otherwise, you will receive the next business day’s price.

 

Service Agents must transmit all properly received orders to buy, exchange or redeem shares to the transfer agent before the transfer agent’s close of business.

 

It is the responsibility of the Service Agents to transmit all orders to buy, exchange or redeem shares to the transfer agent on a timely basis.

 

Taxes

 

The following discussion is very general. Because each shareholder’s circumstances are different and special tax rules may apply, you should consult your tax adviser about your investment in the Funds

 

In general, you will have to pay Federal income taxes, as well as any state and local taxes, when you redeem shares, exchange shares or receive a distribution (whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares). Any tax liability that you owe as a result of any of these taxable events is your responsibility. The Federal income tax treatment of redemptions, exchanges and distributions is summarized in t he following table:

 

Transaction


  

Federal tax status


Redemption or exchange of shares    Usually capital gain or loss; long-term only if shares owned more than one year
Distributions of net capital gain (excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss)   

Long-term capital gain
Distributions of qualified dividend income    Qualified dividend income
Ordinary dividends (including distributions of net short-term capital gain)   

Excluded from gross income if from interest on tax-exempt securities, otherwise, ordinary income

 

Distributions of net capital gain (i.e., the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) are taxable to you as long-term capital gain regardless of how long you have owned your shares. Distributions of qualified dividend income received by a non-corporate shareholder may qualify for a reduced tax rate, provided that the shareholder satisfies certain holding period requirements. Qualified dividend income generally is income derived from dividends from a U.S. corporation. Dividends from certain foreign corporations will also qualify. You may want to avoid buying shares when a Fund is about to declare a dividend or a capital gain distribution, because it will be taxable to you even though it may effectively be a return of a portion of your investment.

 

Some of a Fund’s income that is exempt from regular federal income taxation may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. In addition, a Fund’s dividends and capital gains distributions generally will be subject to state and local income taxes.

 

A Fund may at times buy tax-exempt investments at a discount from the price at which they were originally issued, especially during periods of rising interest rates. For federal income tax purposes, some or all of this market discount will be

 

B-15


included in a Fund’s ordinary income and will be ordinary income when it is paid to you. A Fund’s investments in these and certain other debt obligations may cause the Fund to recognize taxable income in excess of the cash received from such obligations. If this happens, the Fund may be required to sell other investments in order to satisfy its distribution requirements.

 

After the end of each year, the Funds will provide you with information about the distributions and dividends you received and any redemptions of shares during the previous year. The Funds will not withhold with respect to dividends designated as interest-related dividends or short-term capital gain dividends. If you do not provide the Funds with your correct taxpayer identification number and any required certifications, you will be subject to back-up withholding at the rate of 28% on your distributions, dividends, and redemption proceeds. Backup withholding will not, however, be applied to payments that have been subject to the 30% withholding tax on shareholders who are neither citizens nor residents of the United States.

 

If you do not provide the fund with your correct taxpayer identification number and any required certifications, you may be subject to back-up withholding on your distributions, dividends and redemption proceeds. Because each shareholder’s circumstances are different and special tax rules may apply, you should consult your tax adviser about your investment in the fund.

 

The above discussion is applicable to shareholders who are U.S. persons. If you are a non-U.S. person, please consult your own tax adviser with respect to the U.S. tax consequences to you of an investment in the fund.

Comparison of Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Management

 

Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund (Acquired Fund) and Legg Mason Partners Large Cap Growth Fund (Acquiring Fund)

 

    

Legg Mason Large Cap Growth Fund
(Acquiring Fund)


  

Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund
(Acquired Fund)


Investment Objective(s)    Long-term growth of capital.    Long-term capital gain by investing primarily in common stocks.
Principal Investment Policies   

The Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in equity securities of U.S. companies with large market capitalizations (i.e., those companies with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell 1000 Index).

 

Up to 20% of the value of the Fund’s net assets may be invested in companies with smaller market capitalizations.

 

The Fund may invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers in the form of ADRs, EDRs or similar securities, subject to a limit of 10% of the Fund’s net assets.

 

The Fund may enter into certain derivatives contracts.

 

The Fund is diversified.

  

The Fund invests 80% of the value of its net assets in securities of companies principally engaged in offering, using or developing products, processes or services that will provide or will benefit significantly from technological advances and improvements. These companies include, without limitation, companies that develop, produce or distribute products or services in the computer, semi-conductor, software, electronics, media, communications, health care, and biotechnology sectors.

 

To be considered to be principally doing business in the technology sector, a company must:

 

•      Generate at least 50% of gross income or net sales from activities in the sector;

 

•      Devote at least 50% of its assets to producing revenues from the sector; or

 

•      Be deemed by the manager to have its primary business within the sector based on other available information.

 

The Fund invests primarily in mid-cap and large-cap companies (i.e., companies with market capitalizations exceeding $5 billion), but may, to a lesser extent, invest in the common stock of small cap companies.

 

The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers.

 

The Fund may use derivatives.

 

The Fund is non-diversified.

Principal Investment Strategies    The manager emphasizes individual security selection while diversifying the Fund’s investments across industries which may help to reduce risk. The manager attempts to identify established large capitalization companies with the highest growth potential. The manager then analyzes each company in detail, ranking its management, strategy and competitive market position (as well as earnings prospects, cash flow, financial condition, and return on equity).   

The Fund relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition and its industry position.

 

Factors considered by the manager include, among other things, long-term growth potential, earnings estimates and quality of management.

(Acquiring Fund)


  

Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund
(Acquired Fund)


    

Finally, the manager attempts to identify the best values available among the growth companies identified.

 

The core holdings of the Fund will be large capitalization companies that are dominant in their industries, global in scope and have a long-term history of performance.

(Acquiring Fund)


  

Legg Mason Partners National Municipals Fund
(Acquired Fund)


Investment Objective(s)    Maximize current interest income which is excluded from gross income for regular federal income tax purposes to the extent consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital.    As high a level of income exempt from regular federal income tax as is consistent with prudent investing.
Principal Investment Policies   

Invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities or other investments with similar economic characteristics, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income tax. The Fund considers any investments in municipal obligations that pay interest subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) as part of the 80% of the Fund’s assets that must be invested in municipal securities.

 

The Fund focuses primarily on intermediate-term and long-term municipal securities that have remaining maturities at the time of purchase of between three and thirty years.

 

The Fund generally will invest at least 80% of its total assets in investment grade debt obligations. The balance of the Fund’s assets may be invested in securities rated as low as C by Moody’s or D by S&P or have the equivalent rating by any NRSRO, or comparable unrated securities, which are sometimes referred to as “junk bonds.”

 

The Fund may use derivative contracts, such as financial futures and options, for any of the following purposes: to hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market value of its securities, because of changes in interest rates; as a substitute for buying or selling securities; or as a cash flow management technique.

  

Invests at least 100% of its assets under normal market conditions, but no less than 80% of its assets in municipal securities.

 

The Fund may invest in municipal securities of varying maturities, but typically focuses on municipal securities that have remaining maturities at the time of purchase of from five to more than thirty years.

 

The Fund invests exclusively in municipal securities that are rated investment grade at the time of purchase or are of comparable quality if unrated. At least two-thirds of the municipal securities must be rated, at the time of purchase, within the three highest investment grade rating categories. Up to one-third of a fund’s assets may be invested in municipal bonds rated in the fourth highest category.

 

The Fund’s short-term municipal obligations will be limited to high-grade obligations.

 

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in debt securities which are issued or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

 

The Fund may use derivative contracts, such as financial futures and options, for any of the following purposes: to hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market value of its securities, because of

The Fund may invest in municipal bond index futures contracts and may invest without limit in municipal leases.

 

The Fund is a diversified fund.

Principal Investment Strategies    The manager selects securities primarily by identifying undervalued sectors and individual securities, while also selecting securities it believes will benefit from changes in market conditions. In selecting individual securities, the manager: uses fundamental credit analysis to estimate the relative value and attractiveness of various securities and sectors and to exploit opportunities in the municipal bond market, measures the potential impact of supply/demand imbalances for obligations of different states, the yields available for securities with different maturities and a security’s maturity in light of the outlook for interest rates to identify individual securities that balance potential return and risk, may trade between general obligation and revenue bonds and among various revenue bond sectors, such as housing, hospital and industrial development, based on their apparent relative values, and identifies individual securities with the most potential for added value, such as those involving unusual situations, new issuers, the potential for credit upgrades, unique structural characteristics or innovative features.    The manager selects securities primarily by identifying undervalued sectors and individual securities, while also selecting securities it believes will benefit from changes in market conditions.

from federal personal income taxes, including the federal alternative minimum tax.

 

The Fund may also invest (up to 20%) in municipal obligations that are exempt from federal personal income taxes but that are subject to the AMT and in other short-term debt securities such as commercial paper. Although the Fund seeks to minimize risk by investing in municipal securities from a number of different states and localities, the Fund may, from time to time, invest over 25% of its assets in municipal securities from one state or region. The Fund may also invest in short-term debt securities that pay interest that is subject to federal personal income taxes.

 

The Fund may use futures contracts, in order to protect (or “hedge”) against changes in interest rates or to manage the maturity or duration of fixed income securities.

 

The Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity is normally expected to be in a long-term range (between 10 and 30 years).

 

The Fund may purchase securities rated as low as Baa by Moody’s or BBB by S&P or Fitch and securities of comparable quality.

 

The Fund is a non-diversified fund.

When selecting securities for the Fund and managing the portfolio, the manager looks for both income and potential for gain.

 

The Fund is managed using a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis. The manager decides which securities to purchase by first developing an interest rate forecast and analysis of general economic conditions throughout the United States. Then the manager compares specific regions and sectors to identify broad segments of the municipal market poised to benefit in this environment. The manager also closely studies the yields and other characteristics of specific issues to identify attractive opportunities. The manager uses a geographically diversified approach, seeking a portfolio of bonds representing a wide range of sectors, maturities and regions. The manager uses this same approach when deciding which securities to sell. Securities are sold when the Fund needs cash to meet redemptions, or when the manager believes that better opportunities exist or that the security no longer fits within the manager’s overall strategies for achieving the Fund’s investment objective.

Certain information reflects financial results for a single share. Total return represents the rate that a shareholder would have earned (or lost) on a fund share assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The information in the following tables has been derived from each Acquiring Fund’s financial statements which have been audited by KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the Fund’s financial statements, is included in the annual report (available upon request).

Manager’s Overview

 

LOGO

ALAN J. BLAKE

Portfolio Manager

 

  

Q.     What were the overall market conditions during the Fund’s reporting period?

 

A. Despite a number of setbacks and obstacles, the domestic economy continued to expand during the 12-month reporting period. The major challenges were the same for much of the past year: the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”)i continued to raise interest rates; oil and energy prices reached new record highs; and the effects of the hurricanes on the Gulf Coast. The price of oil skyrocketed during the year, from $43 per barrel at the start of 2005 to a high of just under $70 at the end of August, as a result of tension in the Middle East, increased demand from China, labor strikes in Venezuela, and weather-related supply interruptions. The housing market continued at a torrid pace throughout the year, showing signs of cooling only in the last few months, despite increasing short-term interest rates throughout the year. The war in Iraq continued to put a strain on international relations anddomestic spending and the continued dual deficits (both trade and budget deficits) became a concern to the market with regard to their effect on long-term growth.

 

While the market experienced some short-term volatility during the period, the domestic stock market in general registered gains over the past twelve months. However, most of the gains occurred at the start and end of the period. In late 2004, following the Presidential election (and with the uncertainty from the election removed), the market rallied strongly through the end of the year. But for most of 2005, the equity market stayed within a narrow range, with several major indexes ending the third quarter virtually flat for the year. Another rally at the end of the fiscal year in November of 2005, driven in part by strong third quarter corporate earnings news, accounted for much of the market’s gains during the period.

 

In general, market leadership over the period came from the mid-cap stocks, as both small- and large-caps had positive returns but lagged their mid-cap counterparts, while value-oriented stocks continued to outperform growth-oriented stocks.

  Q. What were the most significant factors affecting Fund performance?

 

A. The Fund’s outperformance over the past fiscal year was due primarily to the strongly positive effects of stock selection, while the effect of sector allocation over the period was negative. Specifically, stock selection in the overweighted information technology and consumer discretionary sectors, the underweighted consumer staples sector, and the nearly market-weight health care sector contributed significantly to the Fund’s performance over the period. The Fund did not hold any energy and utilities sector stocks during the period, which had a slightly negative impact on performance. While these two industries represent only a small fraction of the assets in the benchmark index, they saw the greatest returns of any sector over the period due largely to the record-setting high prices for oil and gas.

 

  Q. What were the leading contributors to performance?

 

A. Taking into account both price change and portfolio weighting, the leading contributors to performance included positions in Genentech Inc. and Amgen Inc. in health care, Gillette in consumer staples (which was acquired by Procter & Gamble Co. during the period) and information technology (IT) holdings including Texas Instruments Inc. and Motorola Inc.

 

  Q. What were the leading detractors from performance?

 

A. In terms of individual stock holdings, the leading detractors from performance included positions in Dell Inc., Lucent Technologies Inc. and Juniper Networks Inc., all in IT, as well as Biogen Idec Inc. and Pfizer Inc. in health care.

 

  Q. Were there any significant changes to the Fund during the reporting period?

 

A. New positions established during the period included Bed Bath & Beyond Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and a new spin-off from existing Fund holding IAC/Interactive Corp., Expedia Inc. in consumer discretionary, as well as Yahoo! Inc., Akami Technologies Inc., and Electronic Arts Inc. in IT. Procter & Gamble became a Fund holding late in the period when its acquisition of existing top-10 Fund holding Gillette closed at the start of October of 2005.

 

Several positions were eliminated during the period including holdings in Veritas Software, Lucent Technologies Inc. and Freescale Semiconductor Inc. in IT, Viacom Inc. in consumer discretionary and Cendant Corp. in industrials. At the close of the period, the Fund remained overweight in consumer discretionary, financials, IT and health care, underweight in industrials and consumer staples, and did not have significant holdings in energy, materials, telecommunication services or utilities.

  Q. What were the overall market conditions during the Fund’s reporting period?

 

A. The overall fixed income market, as well as the municipal bond market, generated positive, but modest returns during the one-year period ended February 28, 2006. During the reporting period, the fixed income yield curve flattened and eventually inverted as the spread, or difference, between short- and long-term bond yields narrowed and, by the end of the period, two-year yields surpassed their 10-year counterparts. Looking at the period as a whole, short-term yields, as measured by two-year Treasuries, rose from 3.59% to 4.69%—a total of 110 basis pointsi. In contrast, long-term yields, as measured by 10-year Treasuries, rose from 4.38% to 4.55%—17 basis points. Short-term yields moved higher on the back of eight Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”)ii rate hikes during the period. Longer-term yields did not rise as much, due, in part, to strong demand by foreign investors. The municipal bond yield curve also flattened during the reporting period but did not invert.

 

Performance Review

 

For the 12 months ended February 28, 2006, Class A shares of the Smith Barney Managed Municipals Fund Inc., excluding sales charges, returned 3.22%. These shares underperformed the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Category Average1, which increased 3.36% over the period. The Fund’s unmanaged benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index,iii returned 3.87% for the same time frame.

  Q. What were the most significant factors affecting Fund performance?

 

What were the leading contributors to performance?

 

A. During the fiscal year we maintained a defensive posture in terms of overall duration, or price sensitivity to interest rate movements. Rising interest rates are generally troublesome for longer-term fixed income securities, since bond prices decline as rates are expected to rise. However, our low-duration approach to managing interest rate risk limited the Fund’s ability to completely participate in upside market movements during intervals when bond prices did rise.

 

What were the leading detractors from performance?

 

A. On balance, our hedging strategies appear to have detracted slightly from performance. Our short positioning strategy in long-term Treasury futures enhanced results when longer-term rates rose, particularly in the last few months of the period. However, while this strategy reduced the portfolio’s volatility, overall it was detrimental as long-term yields declined over much of the fiscal year, even though the Fed continued to raise short-term rates.

 

  Q. Were there any significant changes to the Fund during the reporting period?

 

A. Given the market and rate environment during the period, we believe that a cautious approach to managing interest rate risk was more prudent than a longer-duration strategy. During the period, we maintained a defensive posture for the Fund, with an emphasis on capital preservation. We focused on issues with competitive coupons in a diverse cross-section of market segments that we believed would continue to offer favorable prospects on a risk/reward basis.

RISKS: Keep in mind, the Fund’s investments are subject to interest rate and credit risks. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, reducing the value of the Fund’s share price. Lower-rated, higher yielding bonds known as “junk bonds” are subject to greater credit risk, including the risk of default, than higher-rated obligations. The Fund may use derivatives, such as options and futures, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on Fund performance. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

APPENDIX F

 

Historical Performance of Each Fund

 

The following shows summary performance information for each Acquiring Fund and each Acquired Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides an indication of the risks of investing in each Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund’s average annual total returns compare with the returns of a broad-based unmanaged securities market index and, in the case of Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund, a sector index. The bar charts and quarterly returns show performance of each Fund’s Class A shares, but do not reflect the impact of any applicable sales charges (loads). If they did, the returns would be lower than those shown. The other share classes offered by the Funds would have had different performance because of their different expenses. Unlike the bar charts, the performance for Class A, B, C, O and Y shares (as applicable) in the Average Annual Total Returns tables reflects the impact of the maximum sales charge (load) applicable to the respective classes, and the performance for Class A shares reflects the impact of taxes paid on distributions and the redemption of shares at the end of the period. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

This table compares the before- and after-tax average annual total returns of the Fund’s Class A shares, and the before-tax average annual total returns of the Fund’s other classes, for the periods shown with that of a broad based securities market index. Unlike the bar chart, the returns in the table assume the imposition of the maximum sales charge applicable to the class. After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend upon an individual investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

APPENDIX G

 

Similarities and Differences in the Forms of Organization of the Acquired Funds and the

Acquiring Funds

 

Comparison of Maryland Corporations and Massachusetts Trusts

 

In General

 

A fund organized as a Massachusetts Trust (a “Massachusetts Trust”) is governed by its declaration of trust or similar instrument. Massachusetts law allows the trustees of a business trust to set the terms of a fund’s governance in its declaration. All power and authority to manage the fund and its affairs generally reside with the trustees, and shareholder voting and other rights are limited to those provided to the shareholders in the declaration. Because Massachusetts law governing business trusts provides so much flexibility compared to typical state corporate statutes, the Massachusetts Trust has become a common form of organization for mutual funds. However, some consider it less desirable than other entities because it relies on the terms of the applicable declaration and judicial interpretations rather than statutory provisions for substantive issues, such as the personal liability of shareholders and trustees, and does not provide the level of certitude that corporate laws like those of Maryland, or newer statutory trust laws, provide.

 

A fund organized as a Maryland Corporation (a “Maryland Corporation”), on the other hand, is governed both by Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) and the Maryland Corporation’s charter. For a Maryland Corporation, unlike a Massachusetts Trust, the MGCL prescribes many aspects of Corporate governance.

 

Shareholders of a Maryland Corporation are generally shielded from personal liability for the corporation’s debts or obligations. Shareholders of a Massachusetts Trust, on the other hand, are not shielded by form of organization from the trust’s liabilities. Instead, a fund’s declaration of trust typically provides that a shareholder will not be liable, and further provides for indemnification to the extent that a shareholder is found personally liable, for the fund’s acts or obligations. The declaration of each Fund organized as a Massachusetts Trust (a “Massachusetts Fund”) contains such provisions.

 

Similarly, the trustees of a Massachusetts Trust are not shielded from personal liability for the obligations of the trust by form of organization. The directors of a Maryland Corporation, on the other hand, are generally shielded from personal liability for the corporation’s acts or obligations under the corporate form of organization. Courts in Massachusetts have, however, recognized limitations of a trustee’s liability in contract actions for the obligations of a trust contained in the trust’s declaration, and declarations may also provide that trustees may be indemnified out of the assets of the trust to the extent held personally liable. The declarations for each of the Massachusetts Funds contain such provisions.

 

Maryland Corporations

 

Each Maryland corporation is governed by the MGCL, its charter and Bylaws. Some of the key provisions of the MGCL, the charters and Bylaws are summarized below. Although the Maryland corporations’ charters and Bylaws contain some very similar provisions, there are differences in a number of provisions. The following is a summary of the MGCL, the charter and Bylaws of each Maryland Corporation and is qualified in its entirety for each Maryland Corporation by reference to the MGCL and its charter and Bylaws.

 

Shareholder Voting

 

Under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, or engage in a statutory share exchange, merger or consolidation unless approved by a vote of shareholders. Depending on the circumstances and the charter of the corporation, there may be various exceptions to these votes. Shareholders of Maryland corporations are generally entitled to one vote per share and fractional votes for fractional shares held. For each of the Maryland Corporations, shareholders of all series and classes vote together as a single class, except as otherwise required by the 1940 Act or required or permitted by their charters.

 

Election and Removal of Trustees

 

Shareholders of a Maryland corporation may vote on the election and removal of directors. Maryland law does not require a corporation registered as an open-end investment company to hold annual meetings in any year that the election of

 

G-1


directors is not required under the 1940 Act. Each Maryland corporation will call a meeting of shareholders whenever required by the 1940 Act to elect directors.

 

The charter of each Maryland Corporation generally provides that its Board has the power to set the number of directors and, in most circumstances, to fill vacancies except when the 1940 Act requires that a vacancy be filled by the shareholders. Directors are elected by a plurality vote and serve until their successors are elected and qualify.

 

Amendments to the Charter

 

Under the MGCL, shareholders of corporations registered as open-end investment companies are entitled to vote on amendments to the charter. However, the board of directors of an open-end investment company is authorized, without a vote of the shareholders, to amend the charter to change the name of the corporation, to change the name or designation of any class or series of stock and to change the par value of the authorized shares. The board of directors is also authorized to supplement the charter to increase the number of authorized shares or the number of shares in any class or series.

 

Issuance and Redemption of Shares

 

The board of directors of each Maryland Corporation has the power to authorize the issuance of stock and, prior to issuance of shares of each class or series, the board of directors of each Maryland Corporation is required by Maryland law to set the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for each class or series. A Maryland corporation registered an open-end investment company may involuntarily redeem a shareholder’s shares under certain circumstances, unless prohibited by the charter.

 

Series and Classes

 

The 1940 Act provides that an investment company may have multiple series and classes, and provides rules for the equitable treatment of holders and series and classes, including for the separate voting rights of series and classes, and for the differential fees that may be charged to different classes. The charters of the Maryland corporations generally do not restrict the authority to directors within this statutory framework to establish series and classes in addition to those currently established and to determined the rights and preferences of the shares of the series and classes.

 

Shareholder, Trustee and Officer Liability

 

Under Maryland law, shareholders generally are not personally liable for debts or obligations of a corporation. With respect to directors, the MGCL provides that a director who has met his or her statutory standard of conduct has no liability for reason of having been a director. Additionally, the MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its shareholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of action. The charter of Legg Mason Partners Technology Fund does not contain such a provision which eliminates such liability to the maximum extent permitted by the MGCL. The charter of Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc. does not contain such a provision which eliminates such liability to the maximum extent permitted by the MGCL. The Bylaws of each of the Maryland Corporations generally provide for mandatory indemnification of directors and officers (including the advance of expenses) to the extent required by Maryland law. The indemnification provisions and the limitation on liability are both subject to any limitations of the 1940 Act, which generally provides that no director or officer shall be protected from liability to the corporation or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office. The provisions governing the advance of expenses are subject to applicable requirements of the 1940 Act or rules thereunder.

 

Derivative Actions

 

There are no provisions relating to shareholder derivative actions in the charters of any of the Maryland Corporations. Under Maryland law, applicable case law at the time of a particular derivative action will establish any requirements or limitations with respect to shareholder derivative actions.

 

Massachusetts Funds

 

Each Massachusetts Fund is governed by its own declaration of trust (each, a “Massachusetts Fund Declaration”). Although the Massachusetts Fund Declarations contain some very similar provisions, there are differences in a number of

 

G-2


provisions. Some of the key provisions of the Massachusetts Fund Declarations are summarized below. Each is qualified in its entirety for each Massachusetts Trust by reference to its Declaration.

 

Shareholder Voting

 

The 1940 Act requires a vote of shareholders on matters that Congress has determined might have a material effect on shareholders and their investments. For example, shareholder consent is required under the 1940 Act to approve new investment advisory agreements in many cases, an increase in an advisory fee or a 12b-1 fee, changes to fundamental policies, the election of directors or trustees in certain circumstances, and the merger or reorganization of a fund in certain circumstances, particularly where the merger or consolidation involves an affiliated party. Shareholders of the Massachusetts Funds are generally entitled to vote only on matters required by the 1940 Act or other applicable laws and certain other matters, including (i) the election and removal of trustees, (ii) with respect to certain amendments to the Massachusetts Fund Declaration; and (iii) in connection with certain mergers, consolidations or sales of assets.

 

The 1940 Act does not require funds to hold an annual meeting of shareholders and none of the Massachusetts Funds are required to hold such meetings. Each Massachusetts Fund will call a special meeting of shareholders whenever required by the 1940 Act or by the terms of the Massachusetts Fund Declaration. Shareholders are each entitled to one vote for each share held and fractional shares held. Shareholders vote separately by series (with respect to Salomon Funds Trust (“SFT”)) or class (with respect to Legg Mason Partners Municipal Funds (“Municipal Funds”)), except where required by the 1940 Act to vote together, or when the trustees have determined that the matter affects only the interests of shareholders of a limited number of series or classes, then only shareholders of such series shall be entitled to vote.

 

Election and Removal of Trustees

 

The Massachusetts Fund Declarations provide that the trustees determine the size of the board of trustees. Each also provides that vacancies on the board of trustees may be filled by the remaining trustees, except when election by the shareholders is required under the 1940 Act. Trustees are then elected by a plurality vote of the shareholders. The Declaration for Investment Series provides that trustees may be removed by vote of shareholders holding two-thirds of the voting power of the trust, or by vote of two-thirds of the remaining trustees. The trustees of Municipal Funds may be removed by vote of two-thirds of the remaining trustees. The trustees of SFT may be removed, for cause, by vote of two-thirds of the remaining trustees, or by a vote of shareholders holding two-thirds of the outstanding shares of each series.

 

Amendments to the Declaration

 

Shareholders of the Massachusetts Funds are entitled to vote only on amendments that would adversely affect the rights of shareholders to whom the amendment is applicable. The Declarations of Municipal Funds and SFT may be amended by the trustees without the vote of shareholders only in limited circumstances.

 

Each Massachusetts Fund Declaration places restrictions on amendments that may impair the exemption from personal liability granted in the Massachusetts Fund Declaration to the shareholders, trustees, officers, employees and agents of the Massachusetts Fund or that permit assessments upon shareholders or former shareholders.

 

Issuance and Redemption of Shares

 

The trustees of each Massachusetts Fund are permitted to issue an unlimited number of shares for such consideration and on such terms as the trustees may determine. Shareholders are not entitled to any preference, preemptive, conversion, exchange or similar rights, expect as the trustees may determine. The Massachusetts Fund Declarations provide that a shareholder may redeem his or her shares at the price determined in accordance with the Massachusetts Fund Declaration. The Declaration for Municipals Fund provides that the Fund may involuntarily redeem a shareholder’s shares upon such conditions as may be determined by the trustees. The Declaration for SFT provides for involuntary redemptions in limited circumstances.

 

G-3


Series and Classes

 

The 1940 Act provides that an investment company may have multiple series and classes, and provides rules for the fair and equitable treatment of holders of series and classes, including for the separate voting rights of series and classes, and for the differential fees that may be charged to different classes. The Massachusetts Fund Declarations give broad authority to the trustees within this statutory framework to establish series and classes in addition to those currently established and to determine the rights and preferences of the shares of the series and classes. The trustees of Municipal Funds and SFT are also authorized to terminate a series at any time without a vote of shareholders. Each Massachusetts Fund Declaration provides that shares of a series represent an interest in that series only, and not in the assets of any other series or the Massachusetts Fund generally.

 

Shareholder, Trustee and Officer Liability

 

The Massachusetts Fund Declarations provide that shareholders have no personal liability for the obligations of the Massachusetts Fund and require the Massachusetts Fund to indemnify a shareholder from any loss or expense arising from any such liability. In addition, the Declaration of Municipal Funds provides that the Massachusetts Fund will assume the defense of any claim against a shareholder for personal liability at the request of the shareholder. Similarly, the Massachusetts Fund Declarations provide that any person who is or has been a trustee, officer or employee of the Massachusetts Fund is not personally liable to any person in connection with the affairs of the Massachusetts Fund, other than the Massachusetts Fund and its shareholders. The Massachusetts Fund Declarations further provide that a trustee or officer is not liable to the Massachusetts Fund or to any shareholder for any actions or failure to act, and require the Massachusetts Fund to indemnify such persons for any liability and expenses incurred by such person, except in the case of his or her own bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties involved in the conduct of the individual’s office with the Massachusetts Fund. The Massachusetts Fund Declaration for SFT specifically provides that the Massachusetts Fund may advance to a trustee or officer the expenses of preparation and presentation of a defense to any claims brought, under certain circumstances. The Declaration for SFT also clarifies that any trustee who serves as chair of the board or of a committee of the board, lead independent trustee, or audit committee financial expert, or in any other similar capacity will not be subject to any greater standard of care or liability because of such liability.

 

Derivative Actions

 

The Massachusetts Fund Declarations provide that shareholders have the right to vote to the same extent as the stockholders of a Massachusetts business corporation as to whether or not a court action, proceeding or claim should or should not be brought or maintained derivatively or as a class action on behalf of the trust or the shareholders.

 

Discussion of Maryland Trusts

 

Shareholder Voting

 

The 1940 Act requires a vote of shareholders on matters that Congress has determined might have a material effect on Shareholders and their investments. For example, shareholder consent is required under the 1940 Act to approve new investment advisory agreements in most cases, an increase in an advisory fee or a 12b-1 fee, changes to fundamental policies, the election of directors or trustees in certain circumstances, and the merger or reorganization of a fund in certain circumstances, particularly where the merger or consolidation involves an affiliated party. Each Declaration of a Maryland Trust provides for shareholder voting as required by the 1940 Act or other applicable laws but otherwise permits, consistent with Maryland law, actions by the trustees without seeking the consent of shareholders. For example, the trustees may amend the Declaration in any respect without shareholder approval. This provision permits the trustees to act quickly in response to competitive or regulatory conditions without the cost and delay of a shareholder meeting when the trustees believe that the amendment is in the interests of shareholders. Similarly, the trustees have broad authority to provide for the merger or consolidation of the trust into another trust or entity, to reorganize the trust, or any series or class into another trust or entity or a series or class of another entity, to sell all or substantially all of the assets of the trust or any series or class to another entity, or a series or class of another entity, or to terminate the trust or any series or class.

 

The 1940 Act does not require funds to hold an annual meeting of shareholders, and the Maryland Trusts do not require such meetings. Each Maryland Trust will call special meetings of shareholders whenever required by the 1940 Act or by the

 

G-4


terms of the declaration. The Declarations provide for “dollar-weighted voting” which means that a shareholder’s voting power is determined, not by the number of shares he or she owns, but by the dollar value of those shares determined on the Record Date. The Declarations provide that shareholders of all series and classes vote together, except where required by the 1940 Act to vote separately by series or by class, or when the trustees have determined that a matter affects only the interests of one or more series or classes of shares.

 

Election and Removal of Trustees

 

The Declarations provide that the trustees establish the number of trustees. The Declarations also provide that vacancies on the Board may be filled by the remaining trustees, except when election of trustees by the shareholders is required under the 1940 Act. Trustees are then elected by a plurality of votes cast of the shareholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present. The Declarations also provide that a mandatory retirement age may be set by action of two-thirds of the trustees and that trustees may be removed, with or without cause, by vote of shareholders holding two-thirds of the voting power of the trust, or by vote of two-thirds of the remaining trustees. The provisions of the Declarations relating to the election and removal of trustees may not be amended without the approval of two-thirds of the trustees.

 

Amendments to the Declaration

 

The trustees of each Maryland Trust are authorized to amend the Declarations in any respect without the vote of shareholders except in certain circumstances. Each Declaration prohibits amendments that impair the exemption from personal liability granted in the Declaration to persons who are or have been shareholders, trustees, officers or, employees of the Maryland Trust or that limit the rights to indemnification or insurance provided in the Declaration with respect to actions or omissions of persons entitled to indemnification under the Declaration prior to the amendment.

 

Issuance and Redemption of Shares

 

The trustees of each Maryland Trust are permitted to cause the Maryland Trust issue an unlimited number of shares for such consideration and on such terms as the trustees may determine. Shareholders are not entitled to any appraisal, preemptive, conversion, exchange or similar rights, expect as the trustees may determine. The Declarations provide that a shareholder may redeem his or her shares at the price determined in accordance with the Declaration. The Declarations also provide that a Maryland Trust may involuntarily redeem a shareholder’s shares upon such conditions as may be determined by the trustees, giving the Maryland Trust the flexibility that may be needed to comply with recently enacted legislation such as the USA PATRIOT Act. For example, a shareholder’s shares may be redeemed if the shareholder fails to provide the Maryland Trust with identification required by that Act, or if the Maryland Trust is unable to verify the information received from the shareholder.

 

Disclosure of Shareholder Holdings

 

The Declarations specifically require shareholders, upon demand, to disclose to the Maryland Trust information with respect to the direct and indirect ownership of shares in order to comply with various laws or regulations, and the Maryland Trust may disclose such ownership if required by law or regulation.

 

Small Accounts

 

Small accounts can be very costly to a fund and all of its shareholders and the Declaration gives the trustees the authority to deal with small accounts in a number of ways. Typically, the only way a fund has been able to deal with these accounts has been to close out the shareholder’s account by redeeming all of the shares in the account, even if the shareholder would like to continue his or her investment in the fund. Under the Declarations, the Maryland Trust would be permitted to assess a fee for small accounts and redeem shares in the account to cover such fees, or convert the shares into another share class that is geared to smaller accounts.

 

Series and Classes

 

The 1940 Act provides that an investment company may have multiple series and classes, and provides rules for the fair and equitable treatment of holders of series and classes, including for the separate voting rights of series and classes, and for the differential fees that may be charged to different classes. Each of the Maryland Trusts has been established as a series of a

 

G-5


Maryland trust. The Declarations give broad authority to the trustees within this statutory framework, and consistent with Maryland law, to establish series and classes in addition to those currently established and to determine the rights and preferences, limitations and restrictions, including qualifications for ownership, conversion and exchange features, minimum purchase and account size, expenses and charges, and other features of the series and classes. The Declarations also give authority to the trustees to change any of those features, to terminate any series or class, and to combine series with other series in the trust, or to combine one of more classes of a series with another class in that series. For example, if a Fund has one or more classes with few shares outstanding, the Fund may combine one or more of its classes with another of its classes, or convert shares of one class into shares of another class, thus permitting the closure of small classes, and decreasing both costs and administrative burdens.

 

Each share of a Fund represents an interest in that Fund only, and not in the assets of any other Fund generally.

 

Shareholder, Trustee and Officer Liability

 

The Declarations provide that shareholders are not personally liable for the obligations of a Maryland Trust and require the Maryland Trust to indemnify a shareholder from any loss or expense arising from any such liability. In addition, the Maryland Trust will assume the defense of any claim against a shareholder for personal liability at the request of the shareholder. Similarly, the Declarations provide that a trustee acting in his or her capacity of trustee is not personally liable to any person other than the Maryland Trust or theirs shareholders, for any act, omission, or obligation of the trust. Further, a trustee is held to the same standard of conduct as a director of a Maryland corporation. This requires that a trustee perform his or her duties in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Maryland Trust, and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. Each Declaration also permits the limitation of a trustee’s liability to the full extent provided under Maryland law. Under Maryland law, a trustee is liable to the Maryland Trust or its shareholders for monetary damages only (i) to the extent that it is proved that he or she actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property, or services or (ii) to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the trustee is entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the trustee’s action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. The Declarations require the Maryland Trust to indemnify any persons who are or who have been trustees, officers or employees of the trust for any liability for actions or failure to act except to the extent prohibited by applicable federal law. Under the 1940 Act, a trustee or officer may not be indemnified by the Trust for his or her own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties. In making any determination as to whether any person is entitled to the advancement of expenses in connection with a claim for which indemnification is sought, such person is entitled to a rebuttable presumption that he or she did not engage in conduct for which indemnification is not available.

 

The Declarations also clarify that any trustee who serves as chair of the board or of a committee of the board, lead independent trustee, or audit committee financial expert, or in any other similar capacity will not be subject to any greater standard of care or liability because of such position.

 

Derivative Actions

 

The Declaration provides a detailed process for the bringing of derivative actions by shareholders in order to permit legitimate inquiries and claims while avoiding the time, expense, distraction, and other harm that can be caused to a Maryland Trust or its shareholders as a result of spurious shareholder demands and derivative actions. Prior to bringing a derivative action, a demand by three unrelated shareholders must first be made on the Maryland Trust’s trustees. The Declaration details various information, certifications, undertakings and acknowledgements that must be included in the demand. Following receipt of the demand, the trustees have a period of 90 days, which may be extended by an additional 60 days, to consider the demand. If a majority of the trustees who are considered independent for the purposes of considering the demand determine that maintaining the suit would not be in the best interests of the Maryland Trust, the trustees are required to reject the demand and the complaining shareholders may not proceed with the derivative action unless the shareholders are able to sustain the burden of proof to a court that the decision of the trustees not to pursue the requested action was not a good faith exercise of their business judgment on behalf of the Maryland Trust. The Declaration further provides that shareholders owning shares representing at least 5% of the voting power of the affected Maryland Trust must join in bringing the derivative action. If a demand is rejected, the complaining shareholders will be responsible for the costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Maryland Trust in connection with the consideration of the demand, if in the judgment of the independent trustees, the demand was made without reasonable cause or for an improper purpose. If

 

G-6


a derivative action is brought in violation of the Declaration, the shareholders bringing the action may be responsible for the Maryland Trust’s costs, including attorneys’ fees.

 

The Declarations also require that actions by shareholders against a Maryland Trust be brought only in federal court in Baltimore, Maryland, or if not permitted to be brought in federal court, then in state court in Baltimore, Maryland, and that the right to jury trial be waived to the full extent permitted by law.

 

Each of the Funds is currently a Maryland Corporation or a Massachusetts Trust, and each operates under charter documents that cover many of the same provisions discussed above. However, in most cases it is expected that the Declarations for the Maryland Trusts will provide broader authority to the trustees than the existing charters.

Portfolio Manager Compensation

 

Western Asset.    With respect to the compensation of the portfolio managers employed by Western Asset, the manager’s compensation system assigns each employee a total compensation “target” and a respective cap, which are derived from annual market surveys that benchmark each role with their job function and peer universe. This method is designed to reward employees with total compensation reflective of the external market value of their skills, experience, and ability to produce desired results. Standard compensation includes competitive base salaries, generous employee benefits, and a retirement plan. In addition, employees are eligible for bonuses. These are structured to closely align the interests of employees with those of Legg Mason, and are determined by the professional’s job function and performance as measured by a formal review process. All bonuses are completely discretionary. One of the principal factors considered is a portfolio manager’s investment performance versus appropriate peer groups and benchmarks. Because portfolio managers are generally responsible for multiple accounts (including the Funds) with similar investment strategies, they are compensated on the performance of the aggregate group of similar accounts, rather than a specific account. A smaller portion of a bonus payment is derived from factors that include client service, business development, length of service to Legg Mason, management or supervisory responsibilities, contributions to developing business strategy and overall contributions to the manager’s business.

 

Finally, in order to attract and retain top talent, all professionals are eligible for additional incentives in recognition of outstanding performance. These are determined based upon the factors described above and include Legg Mason stock options and long-term incentives that vest over a set period of time past the award date.

 

ClearBridge.    ClearBridge Advisors, LLC (“ClearBridge”) investment professionals receive base salary and other employee benefits and are eligible to receive incentive compensation. Base salary is fixed and typically determined based on market factors and the skill and experience of individual investment personnel.

 

ClearBridge has implemented an investment management incentive and deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) for its investment professionals, including the fund’s portfolio manager(s). Each investment professional works as a part of an investment team. The Plan is designed to align the objectives of ClearBridge investment professionals with those of fund shareholders and other ClearBridge clients. Under the Plan a “base incentive pool” is established for each team each year as a percentage of ClearBridge’s revenue attributable to the team (largely management and related fees generated by funds and other accounts). A team’s revenues are typically expected to increase or decrease depending on the effect that the team’s investment performance as well as inflows and outflows have on the level of assets in the investment products managed by the team. The “base incentive pool” of a team is reduced by base salaries paid to members of the team and other employee expenses attributable to the team.

 

The investment team’s incentive pool is then adjusted to reflect its ranking among a “peer group” of non-ClearBridge investment managers and the team’s pre-tax investment performance against the applicable product benchmark (e.g. a securities index and, with respect to a fund, the benchmark set forth in the fund’s prospectus to which the fund’s average annual total returns are compared or, if none, the benchmark set forth in the fund’s annual report). Longer-term (5- year) performance will be more heavily weighted than shorter-term (1- year) performance in the calculation of the performance adjustment factor. The incentive pool for a team may also be adjusted based on other qualitative factors by the applicable ClearBridge Chief Investment Officer.). The incentive pool will be allocated by the applicable ClearBridge chief investment officer to the team leader and, based on the recommendations of the team leader, to the other members of the team.

 

Up to 20% of an investment professional’s annual incentive compensation is subject to deferral. Of that principal deferred award amount, 25% will accrue a return based on the hypothetical returns of the investment fund or product that is the primary focus of the investment professional’s business activities with the Firm, 25% will accrue a return based on the hypothetical returns of an employee chosen composite fund, and 50% may be received in the form of Legg Mason restricted stock shares.

 

A list of fund holdings for each portfolio manager may be found in the SAI for each Acquiring Fund. See Appendix L for the date of each Acquiring Fund’s current SAI.

Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund, Legg Mason Partners Georgia Municipals Fund, Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc., Legg Mason Partners Florida Municipals Fund and Legg Mason Partners National Municipals Fund Reorganization Into Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Combination:

 

The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Assets and Liabilities, including the Pro Forma Combined Schedule of Investments at February 28, 2006 and the related Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations (“Pro Forma Statements”) for the twelve months ended February 28, 2006, reflect the accounts of Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund, Legg Mason Partners Georgia Municipals Fund, Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc., Legg Mason Partners Florida Municipals Fund and Legg Mason Partners National Municipals Fund (“Acquired Funds”) and Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. (“Acquiring Fund”), each a “Fund.” Following the combination, Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc. will be the accounting survivor.

 

Under the terms of each Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the exchange of assets of the Acquired Fund for shares of the Acquiring Fund will be treated as a tax-free reorganization and accordingly, the tax-free reorganization will be accounted for in an “as-if” pooling of interests. The combination would be accomplished by an acquisition of the net assets of the Acquired Funds in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund at net asset value. The unaudited Pro Forma Combined Schedule of Investments and the unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Assets and Liabilities have been prepared as though the combination had been effective on February 28, 2006. The unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations reflects the results of the Funds for the twelve months ended February 28, 2006 as if the merger occurred on March 1, 2005. These pro forma statements have been derived from the books and records of the Funds utilized in calculating daily net asset values at the dates indicated above in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity. The fiscal year-ends are: February 28 for Legg Mason Partners Managed Municipals Fund, Inc., March 31 for Legg Mason Partners Georgia Municipals Fund, Legg Mason Partners Florida Municipals Fund, and Legg Mason Partners National Municipals Fund, May 31 for Legg Mason Partners Arizona Municipals Fund, Inc. and December 31 for Salomon Brothers National Tax Free Bond Fund.

 

The unaudited Pro Forma Combined Schedule of Investments does not reflect any adjustment for portfolio transactions because, upon consummation of the reorganization, no securities of the Acquired Fund would need to be sold in order for the Acquiring Fund to comply with its investment restrictions or policies. Because the Funds may buy and sell securities in the normal course of their operations, the schedule of investments at the time of reorganization may differ from that shown in the Pro Forma Combined Schedule of Investments.

 

The Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of each Fund, which are incorporated by reference in the Statement of Additional Information.

 

2. Use of Estimates:

 

Management has made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses to prepare these Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

3. Investment Valuation:

 

Securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service that are based on transactions in municipal obligations, quotations from municipal bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various other relationships between securities. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined not to reflect fair value, will be valued in good faith by or under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued an amortized cost, which approximates market value.

 

S-143


 

4. Shares of Beneficial Interest:

 

The unaudited pro forma net asset values per share assumes additional shares of beneficial interest of the Acquiring Fund were issued in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Acquired Fund as of February 28, 2006. The number of additional shares issued was calculated by dividing the net asset value of each class of the Acquired Funds by the respective class net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund.

 

Estimated reorganization expenses of $168,000 have been reflected in the Pro Forma Combined Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Pro Forma Combined Capitalization Tables.

 

5. Pro Forma Operations:

 

In the Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations certain expenses have been adjusted to reflect the expected expenses of the combined entity. The pro forma investment management fees, administration fees and plan of distribution fees of the combined entity are based on the fee schedules in effect for the Acquiring Fund’s combined level of average net assets for the twelve months ended February 28, 2006. Effective January 1, 2006, new custody contracts and transfer agency contracts were implemented for the Funds. The effects of these new contracts have been reflected in the accompanying Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations for the period that the contracts were in effect.

 

6. Federal Income Taxes:

 

It is the policy of the Funds to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Funds intend to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized gains on investments, if any, to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

The Acquiring Fund’s ability to carry forward the pre-Reorganization losses of the Acquired Funds to offset post-Reorganization gains of the Combined Fund is expected to be limited as a result of the Reorganization due to application of loss limitation rules under federal law. The effect of this limitation will depend on the gains and losses in each Fund at the time of the Reorganization. As a result, some portion of a Fund’s loss carryforward may expire unused.

 

As of the dates indicated below, the Funds had the following unused capital loss carryforwards:
