which have a September 2016 maturity date. In addition, each of MFM, CXH, CXE and CMU plan to redeem all of its currently outstanding auction rate municipal preferred shares ("ARPS". The redemption of each fund's respective Series 2016/9 VMTPS and ARPS will be subject to the receipt of financing in the form of new preferred leverage.
