Your investment portfolio Current Market Muni Western Asset Current Market Muni Portfolios Overview The Current Market Muni Portfolios invest in municipal bonds for substantial individual and taxable institutional investors The portfolio benchmarks to the Bloomberg Barclays 5-Year Municipal Bond Index with a typical duration of +/- 20% of the benchmark Key differentiators Team-managed approach Utilize a team of municipal bond sector specialists Leverage Western Asset Management resources Institutional-caliber buying power and trading expertise Access to proprietary municipal bond research team Exclusive focus on fixed-income management Ability to customize the portfolio to meet client needs, including state-specific and state-biased portfolios Philosophy Long-term Seek out the greatest long-term value by thoroughly analyzing a wide range of sectors of the municipal fixed-income market Value oriented We seek to identify and favor sectors and issues that are undervalued or out of favor in the market Diversified strategies Results do not depend on only one or two opportunities; multiple themes are employed in portfolios Diversification seeks to limit the impact of a single adverse market event Strive to add incremental value over time and potentially reduce volatility Sector rotation The Current Market Muni Portfolios solely focus on investment-grade securities within the municipal bond market These securities are similar to those represented within the Bloomberg Barclays 5-Year Municipal Bond Index Objectives The strategy seeks to: provide total return over a market cycle, consisting of capital gain (taxable) and income that is exempt from regular US income tax The Bloomberg Barclays 5-Year Municipal Bond Index is a market-value-weighted index representative of the medium term (4 to 6 years) tax-exempt bond market An investor cannot invest directly in an index The index is not managed and not subject to management or brokerage commission Income from coupon is subject to reinvestment Performance, portfolio characteristics and risk information contained in this material is for the Current Market Muni composite, which includes national, state-specific and state-biased Current Market Muni portfolios Individual client portfolio performance, characteristics and risk may differ, sometimes significantly, from that shown A client who resides or pays taxes in NY, NJ, MA, CA or CT may automatically be given a state-specific portfolio for the corresponding state unless the client specifically selects a national or state-biased portfolio Accordingly, when selecting a Current Market Muni portfolio, such a client should specify whether the portfolio is national, state-specific or state-biased Western Asset may limit the states for which state specific or state biased portfolios are available Because state-specific and state-biased portfolios focus on individual states, they are more vulnerable to losses caused by adverse developments in those states than are national portfolios, which diversify investments across multiple states Risks: All investments involve risk, including the loss of principal, and there is no guarantee that investment objectives will be met Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate and credit risk, which is a possibility that the issuer of a security will be unable to make interest payments and repay the principal on its debt As interest rates rise, the price of fixed income securities falls Fixed income securities are subject to illiquidity risk, which is the risk that securities may be difficult to sell at certain prices when no market participants are willing to purchase the securities at such prices State-specific and state-biased portfolios within this Portfolio focus on individual states and are more vulnerable to losses caused by adverse developments in those states than are national portfolios, which diversify investments across multiple states For tax-exempt securities, certain investors may be subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), and state and local taxes will apply Capital gains, if any, are fully taxable Depends on individual tax situation Please see Disclaimer for important tax information Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against market loss Tapering of the Federal Reserve Board s quantitative easing program and a general rise in interest rates may lead to increased portfolio volatility 6

Your investment portfolio Current Market Muni Western Asset Current Market Muni Portfolios investment process Interest Rate Exposure/ Duration Weighting Western s investment team comprehensively analyzes a variety of domestic and international macroeconomic factors to establish a duration target Term Structure Weighting The Firm carefully employs strategies in an attempt to take advantage of changes in the yield curve s shape and shifts in the relationship between short-, intermediate-, and long-maturity securities Sector Allocation Western Asset believes that the value can be added to a portfolio by actively rotating among, and within, different sectors of the bond market The investment team studies the fundamental factors that influence sector spread relationships Issue Selection Using a bottom-up process, the Firm seeks to identify issuers with changing credit characteristics and securities that are undervalued and out of favor due to unusual circumstances The investment process may change over time The characteristics set forth are intended as a general illustration of some of the criteria the strategy team considers in selecting securities for client portfolios There is no guarantee investment objectives will be achieved 7

Appendix Term Definitions Definitions Term definitions Maturity is the date at which a debt instrument is due and payable A bond due to mature on January 1, 2010, will return the bondholder s principal and final interest payment when it reaches maturity on that date Bond yields are frequently calculated on a yield-to-maturity basis Duration (Modified Duration) is the measure of the price sensitivity of a fixed income security to an interest rate change of 100 basis points Calculation is based on the weighted average of the present values for all cash flows Yield to Worst (YTW) is based on a portfolio s current holdings on one specific day, is gross of all portfolio expenses, and is calculated based on assumptions that prepayment occurs if the bond has call or put provisions and the issuer can offer a lower coupon rate based on current market rates If market rates are higher than the current yield of a bond, the YTW calculation will assume no prepayments are made, and YTW will equal the yield to maturity The YTW will be the lowest of yield to maturity or yield to call (if the bond has prepayment provisions) The YTW of a bond portfolio is the market-weighted average of the YTWs of all the bonds in the portfolio Insured municipal bonds are ones where scheduled interest and principal payments are guaranteed by AAA-rated municipal bond insurers General Obligation municipal bonds are backed by the credit and taxing power of the issuing jurisdiction rather than the revenue of a given project Revenue bonds are municipal bonds supported by the revenue from a specific project Pre-refunded bonds are municipal bonds that are generally backed or secured by US Treasury bonds Effective Duration is a duration calculation for bonds with embedded options Effective duration takes into account that expected cash flows will fluctuate as interest rates change Average Maturity is the average length of maturity for all fixed-rate debt instruments held in a portfolio Average Coupon based on the portfolio s underlying holdings, which may differ and are subject to change Coupon rate is the annual coupon payments paid by the issuer relative to a bond s face or par value Yield to Maturity - The rate of return anticipated on a bond if it is held until the maturity date The calculation of YTM takes into account the current market price, par value, coupon interest rate and time to maturity The Sharpe Ratio is a risk-adjusted measure that is calculated using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk The higher the Sharpe Ratio, the better the portfolio s historical adjusted performance Alpha is a measure of the difference between actual returns and expected performance, given the level of risk as measured by Beta, where Beta measures sensitivity to benchmark movements R-Squared measures the strength of the linear relationship between the portfolio and its benchmark R-squared at 10 implies perfect linear relationship and zero implies no relationship exists Standard deviation is based on quarterly data Standard Deviation is a measure of the variability of returns; the higher the standard deviation, the greater the range of performance (ie, volatility) The Capture Ratios measure a manager s composite performance relative to the benchmark, considering only those quarters that are either positive (Up) or negative (Down) for the benchmark An Up Market Capture Ratio greater than 10 indicates a manager who has outperformed the benchmark in the benchmark s positive quarters A Down Market Capture Ratio of less than 10 indicates a manager who has outperformed the relative benchmark in the benchmark s negative quarters 17
