Item 5.  Other Events and Required FD Disclosure

As of the close of business on November 14, 2003, Putnam Investments had
$256 billion in assets under management. Mutual fund assets were
$168 billion. Institutional assets were $88 billion.

To date, Putnam has found that there has been sufficient liquidity in the
market to manage the client withdrawals and redemptions without any
increase in portfolio transactions costs.

There can be no assurance about future market conditions.  Asset balances
do not reflect pending redemptions or investments based on client decisions
communicated to Putnam but not yet implemented.
