BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 08, 2025-- 

The 19(a) monthly distribution notices for Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust $(PIM)$ and Putnam Premier Income Trust $(PPT)$ are now available. These informational notices provide further details on the sources of the funds' monthly distributions and follow the most recent distribution announcement.

Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust estimates that $0.0180 per share of Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust's dividend is paid from accumulated net investment income and $0.0040 per share represents a return of capital. These estimates and the sources of the fund's dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with accounting principles applicable to the fund. These principles may vary from those applicable to the characterization of distributions under federal tax law and, accordingly, federal tax law treatment will likely vary from the estimated characterization above. In addition, the sources of dividends are estimated at the time of declaration. Actual results will vary from these estimates. A non-taxable return of capital, if any, cannot be determined until after the end of the fund's fiscal year. In January 2026, you will receive final information as to the federal tax status of this and other distributions from the fund in the preceding calendar year.
