PROSPECTUS SEPTEMBER 28, 1994 COMMON STOCK MANAGED MUNICIPALS PORTFOLIO INC. --------------- Managed Municipals Portfolio Inc. (the "Portfolio") is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of principal. Under normal conditions, the Portfolio will, in seeking its investment objective, invest substantially all of its assets in long-term, investment grade obligations issued by state and local governments, political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities ("Municipal Obligations"). For a discussion of the risks associated with certain of the Portfolio's investments, see "Investment Objective and Policies." The Portfolio's address is Two World Trade Center, New York, New York 10048 and the Portfolio's telephone number is (212) 720-9218. The Portfolio seeks to invest substantially all of its assets in Municipal Obligations and, under normal conditions, at least 80% of the Portfolio's assets will be invested in Municipal Obligations rated investment grade by Moody's Investors Service Inc. ("Moody's"), Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P"), Fitch Investors Service, Inc. ("Fitch") or another nationally-recognized statistical rating agency (that is, no lower than Baa, MIG or Prime-1 by Moody's, BBB, SP-2 or A-1 by S&P or BBB or F-1 by Fitch). The Portfolio is intended to operate in such a manner that dividends paid by the Portfolio may be excluded by the Portfolio's shareholders from their gross incomes for federal income tax purposes. See "Investment Objective and Policies" and "Taxation." This Prospectus is to be used by Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney") in connection with offers and sales of the Portfolio's Common Stock (the "Common Stock") in market-making activities in the over-the-counter market at negotiated prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale. The Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "NYSE") under the symbol "MMU." Smith Barney intends to make a market in the Common Stock, although it is not obligated to conduct market-making activities and any such activities may be discontinued at any time without notice, at the sole discretion of Smith Barney. The shares of Common Stock that may be offered from time to time pursuant to this Prospectus were issued and sold by the Portfolio in a public offering which commenced June 18, 1992, at a price of $12.00 per share. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or the trading market for, the Common Stock as a result of any market-making activities undertaken by Smith Barney. The Portfolio will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any Common Stock offered pursuant to this Prospectus. INVESTORS ARE ADVISED TO READ THIS PROSPECTUS, WHICH SETS FORTH CONCISELY THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PORTFOLIO THAT A PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR OUGHT TO KNOW BEFORE INVESTING, AND TO RETAIN IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS AND IN THE SAI. [Enlarge/Download Table] The Portfolio......... The Portfolio is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. See "The Portfolio." Investment Objective........... The Portfolio seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of principal. See "Investment Objective and Policies." Tax-Exempt Income..... The Portfolio is intended to operate in such a manner that dividends paid by the Portfolio may be excluded by the Portfolio's shareholders from their gross incomes for federal income tax purposes. See "Investment Objective and Policies" and "Taxation." Investments........... The Portfolio will invest substantially all of its assets in long-term investment grade Municipal Obligations. At least 80% of the Portfolio's total assets will be invested in securities rated investment grade by Moody's, S&P, Fitch or another nationally-recognized rating agency (that is, rated no lower than Baa, MIG 3 or Prime-1 by Moody's, BBB, SP-2 or A-1 by S&P or BBB or F-1 by Fitch). Up to 20% of the Portfolio's total assets may be invested in unrated securities that are deemed by the Portfolio's investment adviser to be of a quality comparable to investment grade. See "Investment Objective and Policies." The Offering.......... Smith Barney intends to make a market in the Common Stock in addition to trading of the Common Stock on the NYSE. Smith Barney, however, is not obligated to conduct market-making activities and any such activities may be discontinued at any time without notice, at the sole discretion of Smith Barney. Listing............... NYSE Symbol................ MMU Investment Adviser.... The Greenwich Street Advisors Division of Mutual Management Corp. ("Greenwich Street Advisors") serves as the Portfolio's investment adviser. Greenwich Street Advisors is a division of Mutual Management Corp. ("MMC"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"). Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Travelers Inc. ("Travelers") (formerly known as Primerica Corporation). Greenwich Street Advisors renders investment advice to a wide variety of individual and institutional clients that had aggregate assets under management, as of July 31, 1994, in excess of $47.5 billion. The Portfolio pays Greenwich Street Advisors a fee for services provided to the Portfolio that is computed daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of .70% of the value of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. See "Management of the Portfolio -- Investment Adviser." 3
POS AMI7th “Page” of 33TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
[Enlarge/Download Table] Administrator......... Smith, Barney Advisers, Inc. ("SBA") serves as the Portfolio's administrator. The Portfolio pays SBA a fee for services rendered to the Portfolio that is computed daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of .20% of the value of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. See "Management of the Portfolio -- Administrator." Sub-Administrator..... The Boston Company Advisors, Inc. ("Boston Advisors") serves as the Portfolio's sub-administrator. Boston Advisors is paid a portion of the fee paid by the Fund to SBA at a rate agreed upon from time to time between Boston Advisors and SBA. See "Management of the Portfolio -- Sub-Administrator." Custodian, Transfer Agent and Dividend- Paying Agent and Registrar........... Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company ("Boston Safe") serves as the Portfolio's custodian. The Shareholder Services Group, Inc. ("TSSG"), a subsidiary of First Data Corporation, serves as the Portfolio's transfer agent, dividend-paying agent and registrar. See "Custodian, Transfer Agent and Dividend-Paying Agent and Registrar." Dividends and Distributions; Dividend Reinvestment Plan... The Portfolio expects to pay monthly dividends of net investment income (that is, income other than net realized capital gains) and to distribute net realized capital gains, if any, annually. All dividends or distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares through participation in the Portfolio's Dividend Reinvestment Plan, unless a shareholder elects to receive cash. See "Dividends and Distributions; Dividend Reinvestment Plan." Discount from Net Asset Value......... The shares of closed-end investment companies often, although not always, trade at a discount from their net asset value. Whether investors will realize gains or losses upon the sale of Common Stock will not depend upon the Portfolio's net asset value, but will depend entirely on whether the market price of the Common Stock at the time of sale is above or below the original purchase price of the shares. Since the market price of the Common Stock will be determined by factors such as relative demand for and supply of such shares in the market, general market and economic conditions and other factors beyond the control of the Portfolio, the Portfolio cannot predict whether the Common Stock will continue to trade at, below or above net asset value. For that reason, shares of the Portfolio's Common Stock are designed primarily for long-term investors, and investors in the Portfolio's Common Stock should 4
POS AMI8th “Page” of 33TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
[Enlarge/Download Table] not view the Portfolio as a vehicle for trading purposes. See "Investment Objective and Policies -- Risk Factors and Special Considerations" and "Share Price Data." Risk Factors and Special Considerations...... The Portfolio will not purchase securities that are rated lower than Baa by Moody's, BBB by S&P or BBB by Fitch at the time of purchase. Although obligations rated Baa by Moody's, BBB by S&P or BBB by Fitch are considered to be investment grade, they may be subject to greater risks than other higher rated investment grade securities. See "Investment Objective and Policies." The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of its total assets in unrated securities that Greenwich Street Advisors determines to be of comparable quality to the securities rated investment grade in which the Portfolio may invest. Dealers may not maintain daily markets in unrated securities and retail secondary markets for many of them may not exist; this lack of markets may affect the Portfolio's ability to sell these securities when Greenwich Street Advisors deems it appropriate. The Portfolio has the right to invest without limitation in state and local obligations that are "private activity bonds," the income from which may be taxable as a specific preference item for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax. Thus, the Portfolio may not be a suitable investment for investors who are subject to the alternative minimum tax. See "Investment Objective and Policies" and "Taxation." Certain of the instruments held by the Portfolio, and certain of the investment techniques that the Portfolio may employ, might expose the Portfolio to special risks. The instruments presenting the Portfolio with risks are municipal leases, zero coupon securities, custodial receipts, municipal obligation components, floating and variable rate demand notes and bonds, and participation interests. Entering into securities transactions on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, entering into repurchase agreements, lending portfolio securities, and engaging in financial futures and options transactions, are investment techniques involving risks to the Portfolio. As a non-diversified fund within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the Portfolio may invest a greater proportion of its assets in the obligations of a smaller number of issuers and, as a result, may be subject to greater risk than a diversified fund with respect to its holdings of securities. See "Investment Objective and Policies" and "Risk Factors and Special Considerations." The combined annual rate of fees paid by the Portfolio for advisory and administrative services, .90% of the value of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, is higher than the rates for similar services paid by other 5

[Enlarge/Download Table] publicly offered, closed-end, management investment companies that have investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Portfolio. The Portfolio will bear, in addition to the costs of advisory and administrative services, other expenses and costs in connection with its operation. See "Management of the Portfolio." The Portfolio's Articles of Incorporation include provisions that could have the effect of limiting the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Portfolio and of depriving shareholders of an opportunity to sell their shares of Common Stock at a premium over prevailing market prices. See "Certain Provisions of the Articles of Incorporation." Stock Purchases and Tenders............. The Portfolio's Board of Directors currently contemplates that the Portfolio may from time to time consider the repurchase of its Common Stock on the open market or make tender offers of the Common Stock. See "Stock Purchases and Tenders." 6

THE PORTFOLIO The Portfolio is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of principal. The Portfolio, which was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on April 9, 1992, is registered under the 1940 Act, and has its principal office at Two World Trade Center, New York, New York 10048. The Portfolio's telephone number is (212) 720-9218. THE OFFERING Smith Barney intends to make a market in the Common Stock, although it is not obligated to conduct market-making activities and any such activities may be discontinued at any time without notice at the sole discretion of Smith Barney. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or the trading market for, the Common Stock as a result of any market-making activities undertaken by Smith Barney. This Prospectus is to be used by Smith Barney in connection with offers and sales of the Common Stock in market-making transactions in the over-the-counter market at negotiated prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale. USE OF PROCEEDS The Portfolio will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any Common Stock offered pursuant to this Prospectus. Proceeds received by Smith Barney as a result of its market-making in the Common Stock will be utilized by Smith Barney in connection with its secondary market operations and for general corporate purposes. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES The Portfolio's investment objective is to seek as high a level of current income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of principal. The Portfolio's investment objective may not be changed without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Portfolio's outstanding shares. In seeking its objective, the Portfolio will invest in long-term Municipal Obligations. The Portfolio will operate subject to a fundamental investment policy providing that, under normal conditions, the Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its total assets in investment grade Municipal Obligations. No assurance can be given that the Portfolio's investment objective will be achieved. The Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its total assets in Municipal Obligations rated investment grade, that is, rated no lower than Baa, MIG 3 or Prime-1 by Moody's, BBB, SP-2 or A-1 by S&P or BBB or F-1 by Fitch. Up to 20% of the Portfolio's total assets may be invested in unrated securities that are deemed by Greenwich Street Advisors to be of a quality comparable to investment grade. The Portfolio will not invest in Municipal Obligations that are rated lower than Baa by Moody's, BBB by S&P or BBB by Fitch, at the time of purchase. A description of relevant Moody's, S&P and Fitch ratings is set forth in the Appendix to the SAI. Although Municipal Obligations rated Baa by Moody's, BBB by S&P or BBB by Fitch are considered to be investment grade, they may be subject to greater risks than other higher rated investment grade securities. Municipal Obligations rated Baa by Moody's, for example, are considered medium grade obligations that lack outstanding investment 9
POS AMI13th “Page” of 33TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
characteristics and have speculative characteristics as well. Municipal Obligations rated BBB by S&P are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay principal and interest. Municipal Obligations rated BBB by Fitch are deemed to be subject to a higher likelihood that their rating will fall below investment grade than higher rated bonds. The Portfolio is classified as a non-diversified fund under the 1940 Act, which means that the Portfolio is not limited by the 1940 Act in the proportion of its assets that it may invest in the obligations of a single issuer. The Portfolio intends to conduct its operations, however, so as to qualify as a "regulated investment company" for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), which will relieve the Portfolio of any liability for federal income tax to the extent that its earnings are distributed to shareholders. To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Portfolio will, among other things, limit its investments so that, at the close of each quarter of its taxable year (1) not more than 25% of the market value of the Portfolio's total assets will be invested in the securities of a single issuer and (2) with respect to 50% of the market value of its total assets, not more than 5% of the market value of its total assets will be invested in the securities of a single issuer. See "Taxation." The Portfolio generally will not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any industry. Governmental issuers of Municipal Obligations are not considered part of any "industry." Municipal Obligations backed only by the assets and revenues of non-governmental users may be deemed to be issued by the non-governmental users, and would be subject to the Portfolio's 25% industry limitation. The Portfolio may invest more than 25% of its total assets in a broad segment of the Municipal Obligations market, if Greenwich Street Advisors determines that the yields available from obligations in a particular segment of the market justify the additional risks associated with a large investment in the segment. The Portfolio reserves the right to invest more than 25% of its assets in industrial development bonds or in issuers located in the same state, although it has no current intention of investing more than 25% of its assets in issuers located in the same state. If the Portfolio were to invest more than 25% of its total assets in issuers located in the same state, it would be more susceptible to adverse economic, business or regulatory conditions in that state. Municipal Obligations are classified as general obligation bonds, revenue bonds and notes. General obligation bonds are secured by the issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue bonds are payable from the revenue derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source, but not from the general taxing power. Notes are short-term obligations of issuing municipalities or agencies and are sold in anticipation of a bond sale, collection of taxes or receipt of other revenues. Municipal Obligations bear fixed, floating and variable rates of interest, and variations exist in the security of Municipal Obligations, both within a particular classification and between classifications. The types of Municipal Obligations in which the Portfolio may invest are described in Appendix A to this Prospectus. The yields on, and values of, Municipal Obligations are dependent on a variety of factors, including general economic and monetary conditions, money market factors, conditions in the Municipal Obligation markets, size of a particular offering, maturity of the obligation and rating of the issue. 10
POS AMI14th “Page” of 33TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 14th
Consequently, Municipal Obligations with the same maturity, coupon and rating may have different yields or values, whereas obligations of the same maturity and coupon with different ratings may have the same yield or value. Opinions relating to the validity of Municipal Obligations and to the exemption of interest on them from federal income taxes are rendered by bond counsel to the respective issuers at the time of issuance. Neither the Portfolio nor Greenwich Street Advisors will review the procedures relating to the issuance of Municipal Obligations or the basis for opinions of counsel. Issuers of Municipal Obligations may be subject to the provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws, such as the Federal Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, affecting the rights and remedies of creditors. In addition, the obligations of those issuers may become subject to laws enacted in the future by Congress, state legislatures or referenda extending the time for payment of principal and/or interest, or imposing other constraints upon enforcement of the obligations or upon the ability of municipalities to levy taxes. The possibility also exists that, as a result of litigation or other conditions, the power or ability of any issuer to pay, when due, the principal of, and interest on, its obligations may be materially affected. Under normal conditions, the Portfolio may hold up to 20% of its total assets in cash or money market instruments, including taxable money market instruments (collectively, "Taxable Investments"). In addition, the Portfolio may take a temporary defensive posture and invest without limitation in short-term Municipal Obligations and Taxable Investments, upon a determination by Greenwich Street Advisors that market conditions warrant such a posture. To the extent the Portfolio holds Taxable Investments, the Portfolio may not be fully achieving its investment objective. INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES The Portfolio may employ, among others, the investment techniques described below, which may give rise to taxable income: WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES. The Portfolio may purchase securities on a when-issued basis, or may purchase or sell securities for delayed delivery. In when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, delivery of the securities occurs beyond normal settlement periods, but no payment or delivery will be made by the Portfolio prior to the actual delivery or payment by the other party to the transaction. The Portfolio will not accrue income with respect to a when-issued or delayed delivery security prior to its stated delivery date. The Portfolio will establish with Boston Safe a segregated account consisting of cash, U.S. government securities, or other liquid high grade debt obligations, in an amount equal to the amount of the Portfolio's when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. Placing securities rather than cash in the segregated account may have a leveraging effect on the Portfolio's net asset value per share; that is, to the extent that the Portfolio remains substantially fully invested in securities at the same time that it has committed to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, greater fluctuations in its net asset value per share may occur than if it had set aside cash to satisfy its purchase commitments. STAND-BY COMMITMENTS. The Portfolio may acquire "stand-by commitments" with respect to Municipal Obligations it holds. Under a stand-by commitment, which resembles a put option, a broker, dealer or bank is obligated to repurchase at the Portfolio's option specified securities at a 11
POS AMI15th “Page” of 33TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 15th
specified price. Each exercise of a stand-by commitment, therefore, is subject to the ability of the seller to make payment on demand. The Portfolio will acquire stand-by commitments solely to facilitate liquidity and does not intend to exercise the rights afforded by the commitments for trading purposes. FINANCIAL FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS. To hedge against a decline in the value of Municipal Obligations it owns or an increase in the price of Municipal Obligations it proposes to purchase, the Portfolio may enter into financial futures contracts and invest in options on financial futures contracts that are traded on a U.S. exchange or board of trade. The futures contracts or options on futures contracts that may be entered into by the Portfolio will be restricted to those that are either based on an index of Municipal Obligations or relate to debt securities the prices of which are anticipated by Greenwich Street Advisors to correlate with the prices of the Municipal Obligations owned or to be purchased by the Portfolio. Regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") applicable to the Portfolio require that its transactions in futures and options be engaged in for "bona fide hedging" purposes or other permitted purposes, provided that aggregate initial margin deposits and premiums required to establish positions other than those considered by the CFTC to be "bona fide hedging" will not exceed 5% of the Portfolio's net asset value, after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on such contracts. A financial futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and the purchase by the other party of a certain amount of a specified property at a specified price, date, time and place. Unlike the direct investment in a futures contract, an option on a financial futures contract gives the purchaser the right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a position in the financial futures contract at a specified exercise price at any time prior to the expiration date of the option. Upon exercise of an option, the delivery of the futures position by the writer of the option to the holder of the option will be accompanied by delivery of the accumulated balance in the writer's futures margin account, which represents the amount by which the market price of the futures contract exceeds, in the case of a call, or is less than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the option on the futures contract. The potential loss related to the purchase of an option on financial futures contracts is limited to the premium paid for the option (plus transaction costs). The value of the option may change daily and that change would be reflected in the net asset value of the Portfolio. LENDING SECURITIES. The Portfolio is authorized to lend securities it holds to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations, but it will not lend securities to any affiliate of Greenwich Street Advisors unless the Portfolio applies for and receives specific authority to do so from the SEC. Loans of the Portfolio's securities, if and when made, may not exceed 33 1/3% of the value of the Portfolio's total assets. The Portfolio's loans of securities will be collateralized by cash, letters of credit or U.S. government securities that will be maintained at all times in a segregated account with Boston Safe in an amount equal to the current market value of the loaned securities. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreement transactions with banks which are issuers of instruments acceptable for purchase by the Fund or with certain dealers listed on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's list of reporting dealers. A repurchase agreement is a contract under which the buyer of a security simultaneously commits to resell the security to the seller at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio would acquire an underlying debt obligation for a relatively short period subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price 12
POS AMI16th “Page” of 33TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 16th
and time, thereby determining the yield during the Portfolio's holding period. This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not subject to market fluctuations during the Portfolio's holding period. Under each repurchase agreement, the selling institution will be required to maintain the value of the securities subject to the repurchase agreement at not less than their repurchase price. RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS Investment in the Portfolio involves risk factors and special considerations, such as those described below: MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS. Market rates of interest available with respect to Municipal Obligations generally may be lower than those available with respect to taxable securities, although the differences may be wholly or partially offset by the effects of federal income tax on income derived from taxable securities. The amount of available information about the financial condition of issuers of Municipal Obligations may be less extensive than that for corporate issuers with publicly traded securities, and the market for Municipal Obligations may be less liquid than the market for corporate debt obligations. Although the Portfolio's policy will generally be to hold Municipal Obligations until their maturity, the relative illiquidity of some of the Portfolio's securities may adversely affect the ability of the Portfolio to dispose of the securities in a timely manner and at a fair price. The market for less liquid securities tends to be more volatile than the market for more liquid securities and market values of relatively illiquid securities may be more susceptible to change as a result of adverse publicity and investor perceptions than are the market values of more liquid securities. Although the issuer of certain Municipal Obligations may be obligated to redeem the obligations at face value, redemption could result in capital losses to the Portfolio to the extent that the Municipal Obligations were purchased by the Portfolio at a premium to face value. Although the Municipal Obligations in which the Portfolio may invest will be, at the time of investment, rated investment grade, municipal securities, like other debt obligations, are subject to the risk of non-payment by their issuers. The ability of issuers of Municipal Obligations to make timely payments of interest and principal may be adversely affected in general economic downturns and as relative governmental cost burdens are allocated and reallocated among federal, state and local governmental units. Non-payment by an issuer would result in a reduction of income to the Portfolio, and could result in a reduction in the value of the Municipal Obligations experiencing non-payment and a potential decrease in the net asset value of the Portfolio. UNRATED SECURITIES. The Portfolio may invest in unrated securities that Greenwich Street Advisors determines to be of comparable quality to the rated securities in which the Portfolio may invest. Dealers may not maintain daily markets in unrated securities and retail secondary markets for many of them may not exist. As a result, the Portfolio's ability to sell these securities when Greenwich Street Advisors deems it appropriate may be diminished. MUNICIPAL LEASES. Municipal leases in which the Portfolio may invest have special risks not normally associated with Municipal Obligations. These obligations frequently contain non-appropriation clauses that provide that the governmental issuer of the obligation need not make future payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for that purpose by a legislative 13
POS AMI17th “Page” of 33TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 17th
body annually or on another periodic basis. Moreover, although a municipal lease typically will be secured by financed equipment or facilities, the disposition of the equipment or facilities in the event of foreclosure might prove difficult. NON-PUBLICLY TRADED SECURITIES. As suggested above, the Portfolio may, from time to time, invest a portion of its assets in non-publicly traded Municipal Obligations. Non-publicly traded securities may be less liquid than publicly traded securities. Although non-publicly traded securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Portfolio. WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may expose the Portfolio to risk because the securities may experience fluctuations in value prior to their delivery. Purchasing securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis can involve the additional risk that the yield available in the market when the delivery takes place may be higher than that obtained in the transaction itself. LENDING SECURITIES. The risks associated with lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions of credit, consist of possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. FINANCIAL FUTURES AND OPTIONS. Although the Portfolio intends to enter into financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts that are traded on a U.S. exchange or board of trade only if an active market exists for those instruments, no assurance can be given that an active market will exist for them at any particular time. If closing a futures position in anticipation of adverse price movements is not possible, the Portfolio would be required to make daily cash payments of variation margin. In those circumstances, an increase in the value of the portion of the Portfolio's investments being hedged, if any, may offset partially or completely losses on the futures contract. No assurance can be given, however, that the price of the securities being hedged will correlate with the price movements in a futures contract and, thus, provide an offset to losses on the futures contract or option on the futures contract. In addition, in light of the risk of an imperfect correlation between securities held by the Portfolio that are the subject of a hedging transaction and the futures or options used as a hedging device, the hedge may not be fully effective because, for example, losses on the securities held by the Portfolio may be in excess of gains on the futures contract or losses on the futures contract may be in excess of gains on the securities held by the Portfolio that were the subject of the hedge. If the Portfolio has hedged against the possibility of an increase in interest rates adversely affecting the value of securities it holds and rates decrease instead, the Portfolio will lose part or all of the benefit of the increased value of securities that it has hedged because it will have offsetting losses in its futures or options positions. NON-DIVERSIFIED CLASSIFICATION. Investment in the Portfolio, which is classified as a non-diversified fund under the 1940 Act, may present greater risks to investors than an investment in a diversified fund. The investment return on a non-diversified fund typically is dependent upon the performance of a smaller number of securities relative to the number of securities held in a diversified fund. The Portfolio's assumption of large positions in the obligations of a small number of issuers will affect the value of the securities it holds to a greater extent than that of a diversified fund in the event of changes in the financial condition, or in the market's assessment, of the issuers. 14

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS The Portfolio has adopted certain fundamental investment restrictions that may not be changed without the prior approval of the holders of a majority of the Portfolio's outstanding voting securities. A "majority of the Portfolio's outstanding voting securities" for this purpose means the lesser of (1) 67% or more of the shares of the Portfolio's Common Stock present at a meeting of shareholders, if the holders of 50% of the outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy at the meeting or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding shares. Among the investment restrictions applicable to the Portfolio is that the Portfolio is prohibited from borrowing money, except for temporary or emergency purposes, or for clearance of transactions, in amounts not exceeding 15% of its total assets (not including the amount borrowed) and as otherwise described in this Prospectus -- when the Portfolio's borrowings exceed 5% of the value of its total assets, the Portfolio will not make any additional investments. In addition, the Portfolio will not invest more than 25% of its total assets in the securities of issuers in any single industry, except that this limitation will not be applicable to the purchase of U.S. government securities. Also, the Portfolio may not purchase securities other than Municipal Obligations and Taxable Investments. For a complete listing of the investment restrictions applicable to the Portfolio, see "Investment Restrictions" in the SAI. All percentage limitations included in the investment restrictions apply immediately after a purchase or initial investment, and any subsequent change in any applicable percentage resulting from market fluctuations will not require the Portfolio to dispose of any security that it holds. SHARE PRICE DATA The Common Stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol "MMU." Smith Barney also intends to make a market in the Portfolio's Common Stock. The following table sets forth the high and low sales prices for the Common Stock, the net asset value per share and the discount or premium to net asset value represented by the quotation for each quarterly period since the Portfolio's commencement of operations.

MANAGEMENT OF THE PORTFOLIO BOARD OF DIRECTORS Overall responsibility for management and supervision of the Portfolio rests with the Portfolio's Board of Directors. The Directors approve all significant agreements with the Portfolio's investment adviser, administrator, sub-administrator, custodian and transfer agent. The day-to-day operations of the Portfolio are delegated to the Portfolio's investment adviser, administrator and sub-administrator. The SAI contains background information regarding each Director and executive officer of the Portfolio. INVESTMENT ADVISER Greenwich Street Advisors, located at Two World Trade Center, New York, New York 10048, serves as the Portfolio's investment adviser. Greenwich Street Advisors, through its predecessors, has been in the investment counseling business since 1934 and renders investment advice to a wide variety of individual, institutional and investment company clients with aggregate assets under management as of July 31, 1994 in excess of $50 billion. MMC, located at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105, is controlled by Holdings. Subject to the supervision and direction of the Portfolio's Board of Directors, Greenwich Street Advisors manages the securities held by the Portfolio in accordance with the Portfolio's stated investment objective and policies, makes investment decisions for the Portfolio, places orders to purchase and sell securities on behalf of the Portfolio and employs managers and securities analysts who provide research services to the Portfolio. The Portfolio pays Greenwich Street Advisors a fee for services provided to the Portfolio that is computed daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of .70% of the value of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. Transactions on behalf of the Portfolio are allocated to various dealers by Greenwich Street Advisors in its best judgment. The primary consideration is prompt and effective execution of orders at the most favorable price. Subject to that primary consideration, dealers may be selected for their research, statistical or other services to enable Greenwich Street Advisors to supplement its own research and analysis with the views and information of other securities firms. The Portfolio may use Smith Barney or a Smith Barney-affiliated broker in connection with the purchase or sale of securities when Greenwich Street Advisors believes that the broker's charge for the transaction does not exceed usual and customary levels. The same standard applies to the use of Smith Barney as a broker in connection with entering into options and futures contracts. The Portfolio paid no brokerage commissions in the last fiscal year. PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT Joseph P. Deane, Vice President and Investment Officer of the Portfolio, is primarily responsible for the management of the Portfolio's assets. Mr. Deane has served the Portfolio in this capacity since the Portfolio commenced operations in 1992 and manages the day to day operations of the Portfolio, including making all investment decisions. Mr. Deane is a Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Greenwich Street Advisors and, as such, is the senior asset manager for investment companies and other accounts investing in tax-exempt securities. 16

ADMINISTRATOR SBA, located at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105, serves as the Portfolio's administrator. As administrator, SBA generally assists in all aspects of the Fund's administration and operation. The Fund pays SBA a fee for services provided to the Fund that is accrued daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of .20% of the value of the Fund's average daily net assets. The combined annual rate of fees paid by the Portfolio for advisory and administrative services is higher than the rates for similar services paid by other publicly offered, closed-end management investment companies that have investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Portfolio. SBA is a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings, which is in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers. SBA provides investment management and administrative services to investment companies with total assets, as of July 31, 1994, in excess of $9.2 billion. SUB-ADMINISTRATOR Boston Advisors, located at One Boston Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02108, serves as the Portfolio's sub-administrator. As the Portfolio's sub-administrator, Boston Advisors calculates the net asset value of the Portfolio's shares of Common Stock and generally assists SBA in all aspects of the Portfolio's administration and operation. Boston Advisors is paid a portion of the fee paid by the Fund to SBA at a rate agreed upon from time to time between Boston Advisors and SBA. Boston Advisors is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Boston Company, Inc. ("TBC"), a financial services holding company, which is in turn an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Mellon Bank Corporation ("Mellon"). Boston Advisors provides investment management, investment advisory and/or administrative services to investment companies that had aggregate assets under management as of July 31, 1994, in excess of $88.3 billion. Greenwich Street Advisors, SBA and Boston Advisors each bears all expenses in connection with the performance of the services it provides to the Portfolio. The Portfolio will bear all other expenses to be incurred in its operation, including, but not limited to: the costs incurred in connection with the Portfolio's organization; investment advisory and administration fees; fees for necessary professional and brokerage services; fees for any pricing service; the costs of regulatory compliance; the costs associated with maintaining the Portfolio's corporate existence; and costs of corresponding with the Portfolio's shareholders. Smith Barney is located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013. Smith Barney is also a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings, which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Travelers Inc. (formerly known as Primerica Corporation), a financial services holding company which provides through its subsidiaries investment, consumer finance and insurance services. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS; DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN The Portfolio expects to pay monthly dividends of net investment income (that is, income (including its tax-exempt income and its accrued original issue discount income) other than net realized capital gains) to the holders of the Common Stock. Under the Portfolio's current policy, which may be changed at any time by its Board of Directors, the Portfolio's monthly dividends will be made at a level 17
POS AMI21st “Page” of 33TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 21st
that reflects the past and projected performance of the Portfolio, which policy over time will result in the distribution of all net investment income of the Portfolio. Expenses of the Portfolio are accrued each day. Net realized capital gains, if any, will be distributed to the shareholders at least once a year. Under the Portfolio's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan"), a shareholder whose shares of Common Stock are registered in his own name will have all distributions from the Portfolio reinvested automatically by TSSG as agent under the Plan, unless the shareholder elects to receive cash. Distributions with respect to shares registered in the name of a broker-dealer or other nominee (that is, in "Street Name") will be reinvested by the broker or nominee in additional shares under the Plan, unless the service is not provided by the broker or nominee or the shareholder elects to receive distributions in cash. Investors who own Common Stock registered in Street Name should consult their broker-dealers for details regarding reinvestment. All distributions to Portfolio shareholders who do not participate in the Plan will be paid by check mailed directly to the record holder by or under the direction of TSSG as dividend-paying agent. The number of shares of Common Stock distributed to participants in the Plan in lieu of a cash dividend is determined in the following manner. Whenever the market price of the Common Stock is equal to or exceeds the net asset value per share at the time shares are valued for purposes of determining the number of shares equivalent to the cash dividend or capital gains distribution, Plan participants will be issued shares of Common Stock valued at the greater of (1) the net asset value per share most recently determined as described below under "Net Asset Value" or (2) 95% of the then current market value. To the extent the Portfolio issues shares to participants in the Plan at a discount to net asset value, the remaining shareholders' interests in the Portfolio's net assets will be proportionately diluted. If the net asset value per share of Common Stock at the time of valuation exceeds the market price of the Common Stock or if the Portfolio declares a dividend or capital gains distribution payable only in cash, TSSG will buy Common Stock in the open market, on the NYSE or elsewhere, for the participants' accounts. If, following the commencement of the purchases and before TSSG has completed its purchases, the market price exceeds the net asset value of the Common Stock, TSSG will attempt to terminate purchases in the open market and cause the Portfolio to issue the remaining dividend or distribution in shares at net asset value per share. In this case, the number of shares of Common Stock received by a Plan participant will be based on the weighted average of prices paid for shares purchased in the open market and the price at which the Portfolio issues the remaining shares. To the extent TSSG is unable to stop open market purchases and cause the Portfolio to issue the remaining shares, the average per share purchase price paid by TSSG may exceed the net asset value of the Common Stock, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or capital gains distribution had been paid in Common Stock issued by the Portfolio at net asset value. TSSG will begin to purchase Common Stock on the open market as soon as practicable after the record date of the dividend or capital gains distribution, but in no event later than 30 days after the payment date therefor, except when necessary to comply with applicable provisions of the federal securities laws. TSSG maintains all shareholder accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmations of all transactions in each account, including information needed by a shareholder for personal and tax records. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions will not relieve Plan participants of any income tax that may be payable on the dividends or capital gains distributions. 18
POS AMI22nd “Page” of 33TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 22nd
Common Stock in the account of each Plan participant will be held by TSSG in uncertificated form in the name of the Plan participant, and each shareholder's proxy will include those shares purchased pursuant to the Plan. Plan participants are subject to no charge for reinvesting dividends and capital gains distributions. TSSG's fees for handling the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions will be paid by the Portfolio. No brokerage charges apply with respect to shares of Common Stock issued directly by the Portfolio as a result of dividends or capital gains distributions payable either in Common Stock or in cash. Each Plan participant will, however, bear a proportionate share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to open market purchases made in connection with the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions. Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes to it are desirable. The Portfolio reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan as applied to any dividend or capital gains distribution paid subsequent to written notice of the change sent to participants at least 30 days before the record date for the dividend or capital gains distribution. The Plan also may be amended or terminated by TSSG, with the Portfolio's prior written consent, on at least 30 days' written notice to Plan participants. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed by mail to The Shareholders Services Group, Inc., One Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109 or by telephone at (617) 573-9300. NET ASSET VALUE The net asset value of shares of the Common Stock is calculated as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, currently 4:00 p.m., New York time, on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading. The Portfolio reserves the right to cause its net asset value to be calculated on a less frequent basis as determined by the Portfolio's Board of Directors. For purposes of determining net asset value, futures contracts and options on futures contracts will be valued 15 minutes after the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Net asset value per share of Common Stock is calculated by dividing the value of the Portfolio's total assets less liabilities by the number of outstanding shares. In general, the Portfolio's investments will be valued at market value, or in the absence of market value, at fair value as determined by or under the direction of the Portfolio's Board of Directors. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost (which involves valuing an investment at its cost and, thereafter, assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the effect of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the investment) when the Portfolio's Board of Directors has determined that amortized cost is fair value. The valuation of the Portfolio's assets is made by Boston Advisors after consultation with an independent pricing service (the "Service") approved by the Portfolio's Board of Directors. When, in the judgment of the Service, quoted bid prices for investments are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market, these investments are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices and asked prices. Investments for which, in the judgment of the Service, no readily obtainable market quotation is available are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods that include consideration of: yields or prices of Municipal Obligations of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. The Service 19
POS AMI23rd “Page” of 33TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 23rd
may use electronic data processing techniques and/or a matrix system to determine valuations. The procedures of the Service are reviewed periodically by the officers of the Portfolio under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board of Directors, which may replace the Service at any time if it determines it to be in the best interests of the Portfolio to do so. TAXATION The following is a summary of the material federal tax considerations affecting the Portfolio and its shareholders; see the SAI for a further discussion. In addition to the considerations described below and in the SAI, which are applicable to any investment in the Portfolio, there may be other federal, state, local or foreign tax considerations applicable to particular investors. Prospective shareholders are therefore urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the consequences to them of an investment in the Portfolio. The Portfolio has qualified, and intends to qualify each year, as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Code. In each taxable year that the Portfolio so qualifies, the Portfolio will be relieved of federal income tax on that part of its investment company taxable income (consisting generally of taxable net investment income, net short-term capital gain and net realized gains from certain hedging transactions) and long-term capital gain that is distributed to its shareholders. In addition, the Portfolio intends to satisfy conditions contained in the Code that will enable interest from Municipal Obligations, excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes with respect to the Portfolio, to retain that tax-exempt status when distributed to the shareholders of the Portfolio (that is, to be classified as "exempt-interest" dividends of the Portfolio). Interest on indebtedness incurred by a shareholder to purchase or carry shares of Common Stock is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. Although the Portfolio's exempt-interest dividends may be excluded by shareholders from their gross income for federal income tax purposes (1) some or all of the Portfolio's exempt-interest dividends may be a specific preference item, or a component of an adjustment item, for purposes of the federal individual and corporate alternative minimum taxes and (2) the receipt of dividends and distributions from the Portfolio may affect a corporate shareholder's federal "environmental" tax liability. The receipt of dividends and distributions from the Portfolio may affect a foreign corporate shareholder's federal "branch profits" tax liability and a corporate shareholder's federal "excess net passive income" tax liability. The portion of any exempt-interest dividend paid by the Portfolio that represents income derived from private activity bonds held by the Portfolio may not retain its tax-exempt status in the hands of a shareholder who is a "substantial user" of a facility financed by the bonds, or a "related person" of the substantial user. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors to determine whether they are (1) "substantial users" with respect to a facility or "related" to those users within the meaning of the Code or (2) subject to a federal alternative minimum tax, the federal "environmental" tax, the federal "branch profits" tax, or the federal "excess net passive income" tax. The tables set out in Appendix B to this Prospectus show individual taxpayers how to translate the tax savings from investments such as the Portfolio into an equivalent return from a taxable investment. The yields used in the tables are for illustration only and are not intended to represent current or future yields for the Portfolio, which may be higher or lower than those shown. 20
POS AMI24th “Page” of 33TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 24th
A shareholder of the Portfolio receiving dividends or distributions in additional shares pursuant to the Plan should be treated for federal income tax purposes as receiving a distribution in an amount equal to the amount of money that a shareholder receiving cash dividends or distributions receives, and should have a cost basis in the shares received equal to that amount. The Portfolio will notify its shareholders following the end of each calendar year of the amounts of exempt-interest dividends, taxable dividends and capital gain distributions paid (or deemed paid) that year and of any portion thereof that is subject to the alternative minimum tax for individuals. Upon a sale or exchange of shares of Common Stock, a shareholder will realize a taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between his adjusted basis for the shares and the amount realized. Any such gain or loss will be treated as a capital gain or loss if the shares are capital assets in the shareholder's hands and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than one year. Any loss realized on a sale or exchange of shares of Common Stock that were held for six months or less will be disallowed to the extent of any exempt-interest dividends received on those shares and (to the extent not so allowed) will be treated as a long-term, rather than as a short-term, capital loss to the extent of any capital gain distributions received thereon. A loss realized on a sale or exchange of shares of Common Stock also will be disallowed to the extent those shares are replaced by other shares of Common Stock within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the date of the disposition of shares (which could occur, for example, as a result of participation in the Plan). In that event, the basis for the replacement shares will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss. Investors also should be aware that if shares of Common Stock are purchased shortly before the record date for any distribution, the investor will pay full price for the shares and could receive some portion of the price back as an exempt-interest dividend, a taxable dividend or capital gain distribution. If a shareholder fails to furnish a correct taxpayer identification number, fails to report fully dividend or interest income, or fails to certify that he has provided a correct taxpayer identification number and that he is not subject to "backup withholding," the shareholder may be subject to a 20% "backup withholding" tax with respect to (1) taxable dividends and distributions and (2) the proceeds of any sales or repurchases of shares of Common Stock. An individual's taxpayer identification number is his social security number. 21

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK [Download Table] AMOUNT OUTSTANDING EXCLUSIVE OF SHARES AMOUNT HELD HELD BY PORTFOLIO FOR AMOUNT BY PORTFOLIO FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT AS OF TITLE OF CLASS AUTHORIZED ITS OWN ACCOUNT AUGUST 31, 1994 -------------- ------------------ ---------------- --------------------- Common Stock 500,000,000 Shares 0 34,498,420 No shares, other than those currently outstanding, are offered for sale pursuant to this Prospectus. All shares of Common Stock have equal non-cumulative voting rights and equal rights with respect to dividends, assets and liquidation. Shares of Common Stock will be fully paid and non-assessable when issued and have no preemptive, conversion or exchange rights. A majority of the votes cast at any meeting of shareholders is sufficient to take or authorize action, except for election of Directors or as otherwise provided in the Portfolio's Articles of Incorporation as described under "Certain Provisions of the Articles of Incorporation." Under the rules of the NYSE applicable to listed companies, the Portfolio will be required to hold an annual meeting of shareholders in each year. If the Portfolio's shares are no longer listed on the NYSE (or any other national securities exchange the rules of which require annual meetings of shareholders), the Portfolio may decide not to hold annual meetings of shareholders. See "Stock Purchases and Tenders." The Portfolio has no current intention of offering additional shares, except that additional shares may be issued under the Plan. See "Dividends and Distributions; Dividend Reinvestment Plan." Other offerings of shares, if made, will require approval of the Portfolio's Board of Directors and will be subject to the requirement of the 1940 Act that shares may not be sold at a price below the then current net asset value (exclusive of underwriting discounts and commissions) except in connection with an offering to existing shareholders or with the consent of a majority of the Portfolio's outstanding shares. STOCK PURCHASES AND TENDERS Although shares of closed-end investment companies sometimes trade at premiums over net asset value, they frequently trade at discounts. Since the Portfolio's commencement of operations, the Common Stock has periodically traded at a slight discount from its net asset value per share. The Portfolio cannot predict whether the Common Stock will continue to trade above, at or below net asset value. The Portfolio believes that, if the Common Stock trades at a discount to net asset value, the share price will not adequately reflect the value of the Portfolio to investors and that investors' financial interests will be furthered if the price of the Common Stock more closely reflects its net asset value. For these reasons, the Portfolio's Board of Directors currently intends to consider from time to time repurchases of Common Stock on the open market or in private transactions or the making of tender offers for Common Stock. The Portfolio may repurchase shares of its Common Stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions when the Portfolio can do so at prices below their then current net asset value per share on terms that the Board of Directors believes represent a favorable investment opportunity. 22

In addition, the Portfolio's Board of Directors currently intends to consider, at least once a year, making an offer to each Common Stock shareholder of record to purchase at net asset value shares of Common Stock owned by the shareholder. Before authorizing any repurchase of Common Stock or tender offer to the Common Stock shareholders, the Portfolio's Board of Directors would consider all relevant factors, including the market price of the Common Stock, its net asset value per share, the liquidity of the Portfolio's securities positions, the effect an offer or repurchase might have on the Portfolio or its shareholders and relevant market conditions. Any offer would be made in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although the matter will be subject to Board of Directors review at the time, a tender offer is not expected to be made if the anticipated benefit to shareholders and the Portfolio would not be commensurate with the anticipated cost to the Portfolio, or if the number of shares expected to be tendered would not be material. CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION The Portfolio's Articles of Incorporation include provisions that could have the effect of limiting the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Portfolio or to change the composition of its Board of Directors and could have the effect of depriving shareholders of an opportunity to sell their shares of Common Stock at a premium over prevailing market prices by discouraging a third party from seeking to obtain control of the Portfolio. The Board of Directors is divided into three classes. At the annual meeting of shareholders in each year following the first annual meeting of the shareholders of the Portfolio, the term of one class expires and each Director elected to the class will hold office for a term of three years. The classification of the Board of Directors in this manner could delay for up to two years the replacement of a majority of the Board. The Articles of Incorporation provide that the maximum number of Directors that may constitute the Portfolio's entire board is 12. A Director may be removed from office, or the maximum number of Directors increased, only by vote of the holders of at least 75% of the shares of Common Stock entitled to be voted on the matter. The Portfolio's Articles of Incorporation require the favorable vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Common Stock then entitled to be voted to authorize the conversion of the Portfolio from a closed-end to an open-end investment company as defined in the 1940 Act, unless two-thirds of the Continuing Directors (as defined below) approve such a conversion. In the later case, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding will be required to approve the amendment to the Portfolio's Articles of Incorporation providing for the conversion of the Portfolio. The affirmative votes of at least 75% of the Directors and the holders of at least 75% of the shares of the Portfolio are required to authorize any of the following transactions (referred to individually as a "Business Combination"): (1) a merger, consolidation or share exchange of the Portfolio with or into any other person (referred to individually as a "Reorganization Transaction"); (2) the issuance or transfer by the Portfolio (in one or a series of transactions in any 12-month period) of any securities of the Portfolio to any other person or entity for cash, securities or other property (or combination thereof) having an aggregate fair market value of $1,000,000 or more, excluding sales of securities of the Portfolio in connection with a public offering, issuances of securities of the Portfolio pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan adopted by the Portfolio and issuances of securities of the Portfolio upon the exercise of any stock subscription rights distributed by the Portfolio; (3) a sale, lease, exchange, 23

mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition by the Portfolio (in one or a series of transactions in any 12-month period) to or with any person of any assets of the Portfolio having an aggregate fair market value of $1,000,000 or more, except for transactions in securities effected by the Portfolio in the ordinary course of its business (each such sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition being referred to individually as a "Transfer Transaction"). The same affirmative votes are required with respect to: any proposal as to the voluntary liquidation or dissolution of the Portfolio or any amendment to the Portfolio's Articles of Incorporation to terminate its existence (referred to individually as a "Termination Transaction"); and any shareholder proposal as to specific investment decisions made or to be made with respect to the Portfolio's assets. A 75% shareholder vote will not be required with respect to a Business Combination if the transaction is approved by a vote of at least 75% of the Continuing Directors (as defined below) or if certain conditions regarding the consideration paid by the person entering into, or proposing to enter into, a Business Combination with the Portfolio and various other requirements are satisfied. In such case, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by shareholders of the Portfolio will be required to approve the transaction if it is a Reorganization Transaction or a Transfer Transaction that involves substantially all of the Portfolio's assets and no shareholder vote will be required to approve the transaction if it is any other Business Combination. In addition, a 75% shareholder vote will not be required with respect to a Termination Transaction if it is approved by a vote of at least 75% of the Continuing Directors, in which case a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by shareholders of the Portfolio will be required to approve the transaction. A "Continuing Director," as used in the discussion above, is any member of the Portfolio's Board of Directors (1) who is not a person or affiliate of a person who enters or proposes to enter into a Business Combination with the Portfolio (such a person or affiliate being referred to individually as an "Interested Party") and (2) who has been a member of the Board of Directors for a period of at least 12 months, or is a successor of a Continuing Director who is unaffiliated with an Interested Party and is recommended to succeed a Continuing Director by a majority of the Continuing Directors then members of the Board of Directors. The Portfolio's Board of Directors has determined that the 75% voting requirements described above, which are generally greater than the minimum requirements under Maryland law and the 1940 Act, are in the best interests of shareholders generally. Reference should be made to the Articles of Incorporation on file with the SEC for the full text of their provisions.

APPENDIX A TYPES OF MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS The Portfolio may invest in the following types of Municipal Obligations and in such other types of Municipal Obligations. MUNICIPAL BONDS Municipal bonds are debt obligations issued to obtain funds for various public purposes. The two principal classifications of municipal bonds are "general obligation" and "revenue" bonds. General obligation bonds are secured by the issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue bonds are payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or from another specific source, such as the user of the facility being financed. Certain municipal bonds are "moral obligation" issues, which normally are issued by special purpose public authorities. In the case of such issues, an express or implied "moral obligation" of a related government unit is pledged to the payment of the debt service but is usually subject to annual budget appropriations. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS AND PRIVATE ACTIVITY BONDS Industrial development bonds ("IDBs") and private activity bonds ("PABs") are municipal bonds issued by or on behalf of public authorities to finance various privately operated facilities, such as airports or pollution control facilities. IDBs and PABs generally do not carry the pledge of the credit of the issuing municipality, but are guaranteed by the corporate entity on whose behalf they are issued. IDBs and PABs are generally revenue bonds and thus are not payable from the unrestricted revenue of the issuer. The credit quality of IDBs and PABs is usually directly related to the credit standing of the user of the facilities being financed. MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS Municipal lease obligations are Municipal Obligations that may take the form of leases, installment purchase contracts or conditional sales contracts, or certificates of participation with respect to such contracts or leases. Municipal lease obligations are issued by state and local governments and authorities to purchase land or various types of equipment and facilities. Although municipal lease obligations do not constitute general obligations of the municipality for which the municipality's taxing authority is pledged, they ordinarily are backed by the municipality's covenant to budget for, appropriate and make the payments due under the lease obligation. The leases underlying certain Municipal Obligations, however, provide that lease payments are subject to partial or full abatement if, because of material damage or destruction of the leased property, there is substantial interference with the lessee's use or occupancy of such property. This "abatement risk" may be reduced by the existence of insurance covering the leased property, the maintenance by the lessee of reserve funds or the provision of credit enhancements such as letters of credit. The liquidity of municipal lease obligations varies. Municipal leases held by the Portfolio will be considered illiquid securities unless the Portfolio's Board of Directors determines on an on-going basis A-1
POS AMI30th “Page” of 33TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 30th
that the leases are readily marketable. Certain municipal lease obligations contain "non-appropriation" clauses which provide that the municipality has no obligation to make lease or installment purchase payments in future years unless money is appropriated for such purpose on a yearly basis. In the case of a "non-appropriation" lease, the Portfolio's ability to recover under the lease in the event of non-appropriation or default will be limited solely to the repossession of the leased property, without recourse to the general credit of the lessee, and disposition of the property in the event of foreclosure might be difficult. The Portfolio will not invest more than 5% of its assets in such "non-appropriation" municipal lease obligations. ZERO COUPON OBLIGATIONS The Portfolio may invest up to 10% of its total assets in zero coupon Municipal Obligations. Such obligations include "pure zero" obligations, which pay no interest for their entire life (either because they bear no stated rate of interest or because their stated rate of interest is not payable until maturity), and "zero/fixed" obligations, which pay no interest for an initial period and thereafter pay interest currently. Zero coupon obligations also include securities representing the principal-only components of Municipal Obligations from which the interest components have been stripped and sold separately by the holders of the underlying Municipal Obligations. Zero coupon securities usually trade at a deep discount from their face or par value and will be subject to greater fluctuations in market value in response to changing rates than obligations of comparable maturity that make current distributions of interest. While zero coupon Municipal Obligations will not contribute to the cash available to the Portfolio, Greenwich Street Advisors believes that limited investments in such securities may facilitate the Portfolio's ability to preserve capital while generating tax-exempt income through the accrual of original interest discount. Zero coupon Municipal Obligations generally are liquid, although such liquidity may be reduced from time to time due to interest rate volatility and other factors. FLOATING RATE OBLIGATIONS The Portfolio may purchase floating and variable rate municipal notes and bonds, which frequently permit the holder to demand payment of principal at any time, or at specified intervals, and permit the issuer to prepay principal, plus accrued interest, at its discretion after a specified notice period. The issuer's obligations under the demand feature of such notes and bonds generally are secured by bank letters of credit or other credit support arrangements. There frequently will be no secondary market for variable and floating rate obligations held by the Portfolio, although the Portfolio may be able to obtain payment of principal at face value by exercising the demand feature of the obligation. PARTICIPATION INTERESTS The Portfolio may invest up to 5% of its total assets in participation interests in municipal bonds, including IDBs, PABs and floating and variable rate securities. A participation interest gives the Portfolio an undivided interest in a municipal bond owned by a bank. The Portfolio has the right to sell the instrument back to the bank. If the participation interest is unrated, it will be backed by an irrevocable letter of credit or guarantee of a bank that the Portfolio's Board of Directors has determined meets certain credit quality standards or the payment obligation will otherwise be collateralized by U.S. government securities. The Portfolio will have the right, with respect to certain A-2
POS AMI31st “Page” of 33TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 31st
participation interests, to draw on the letter of credit on demand, after specified notice for all or any part of the principal amount of the Portfolio's participation interest, plus accrued interest. Generally, the Portfolio intends to exercise the demand under the letters of credit or other guarantees only upon a default under the terms of the underlying bond, or to maintain the Portfolio's assets in accordance with its investment objective and policies. The ability of a bank to fulfill its obligations under a letter of credit or guarantee might be affected by possible financial difficulties of its borrowers, adverse interest rate or economic conditions, regulatory limitations or other factors. Greenwich Street Advisors will monitor the pricing, quality and liquidity of the participation interests held by the Portfolio, and the credit standing of the banks issuing letters of credit or guarantees supporting such participation interests on the basis of published financial information reports of rating services and bank analytical services. CUSTODIAL RECEIPTS The Portfolio may acquire custodial receipts or certificates underwritten by securities dealers or banks that evidence ownership of future interest payments, principal payments or both on certain Municipal Obligations. The underwriter of these certificates or receipts typically purchases Municipal Obligations and deposits the obligations in an irrevocable trust or custodial account with a custodian bank, which then issues receipts or certificates that evidence ownership of the periodic unmatured coupon payments and the final principal payment on the obligations. Custodial receipts evidencing specific coupon or principal payments have the same economic attributes as zero coupon Municipal Obligations described above. Although under the terms of a custodial receipt the Portfolio would be typically authorized to assert its rights directly against the issuer of the underlying obligation, the Portfolio could be required to assert through the custodian bank those rights that may exist against the underlying issuer. Thus, in the event the underlying issuer fails to pay principal or interest when due, the Portfolio may be subject to delays, expenses and risks that are greater than those that would have been involved if the Portfolio had purchased a direct obligation of the issuer. In addition, in the event that the trust or custodial account in which the underlying security has been deposited is determined to be an association taxable as a corporation, instead of a non-taxable entity, the yield on the underlying security would be reduced in recognition of any taxes paid. MUNICIPAL OBLIGATION COMPONENTS The Portfolio may invest in Municipal Obligations, the interest rate on which has been divided by the issuer into two different and variable components, which together result in a fixed interest rate. Typically, the first of the components (the "Auction Component") pays an interest rate that is reset periodically through an auction process, whereas the second of the components (the "Residual Component") pays a residual interest rate based on the difference between the total interest paid by the issuer on the Municipal Obligation and the auction rate paid on the Auction Component. The Portfolio may purchase both Auction and Residual Components. Because the interest rate paid to holders of Residual Components is generally determined by subtracting the interest rate paid to the holders of Auction Components from a fixed amount, the interest rate paid to Residual Component holders will decrease as the Auction Component's rate increases and increase as the Auction Component's rate decreases. Moreover, the extent of the increases and decreases in market value of Residual Components may be larger than comparable changes in the market value of an equal principal amount of a fixed rate Municipal Obligation having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity.

PROSPECTUS September 28, 1994 [LOGO] [LOGO] ------------------------------------------------------- C O M M O N S T O C K Managed Municipals Portfolio Inc. Two World Trade Center New York, New York 10048 (212) 720-9218 STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION September 28, 1994 Managed Municipals Portfolio Inc. (the "Portfolio") is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of principal. Under normal conditions, the Portfolio will, in seeking its investment objective, invest substantially all of its assets in long-term, investment grade obligations issued by state and local governments, political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities ("Municipal Obligations"). No assurance can be given that the Portfolio will be able to achieve its investment objective. This Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") expands upon and supplements the information contained in the current Prospectus of the Portfolio, dated September 28, 1994, as amended or supplemented from time to time (the "Prospectus"), and should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus. The Prospectus may be obtained from any Smith Barney Financial Consultant or by writing or calling the Portfolio at the address or telephone number set forth above. This Statement of Additional Information, although not itself a prospectus, is incorporated by reference into the Prospectus in its entirety. No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations not contained in the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information and, if given or made, such information must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Portfolio or the Portfolio's investment adviser. The Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information do not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of any offer to buy any security other than the shares of Common Stock.

The following discussion supplements the description of the Portfolio's investment policies in the Prospectus. The Portfolio's investment objective is high tax- exempt current income by investing substantially all of its assets in a variety of obligations issued by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities or multistate agencies or authorities ("Municipal Obligations"). The Portfolio's investment objective may not be changed without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")) of the Portfolio's outstanding voting shares. No assurance can be given that the Portfolio's investment objective will be achieved. Use of Ratings as Investment Criteria In general, the ratings of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") and Fitch Investors Service, Inc. ("Fitch") represent the opinions of those agencies as to the quality of the Municipal Obligations and long-term investments which they rate. It should be emphasized, however, that such ratings are relative and subjective, are not absolute standards of quality and do not evaluate the market risk of securities. These ratings will be used as initial criteria for the selection of securities, but the Portfolio also will rely upon the independent advice of its investment adviser, The Greenwich Street Advisors Division of Mutual Management Corp. ("Greenwich Street Advisors"). Among the factors that will also be considered by Greenwich Street Advisors in evaluating potential Municipal Obligations to be held by the Portfolio are the price, coupon and yield to maturity of the obligations, Greenwich Street Advisors' assessment of the credit quality of the issuer of the obligations, the issuer's available cash flow and the related coverage ratios, the property, if any, securing the obligations, and the terms of the obligations, including subordination, default, sinking fund and early redemption provisions. To the extent the Portfolio invests in lower-rated and comparable unrated securities, the Portfolio's achievement of its investment objective may be more dependent on Greenwich Street Advisors' credit analysis of such securities than would be the case for a portfolio consisting entirely of higher-rated securities. The Appendix to this SAI contains information concerning the ratings of Moody's, S&P and Fitch and their significance. Subsequent to its purchase by the Portfolio, an issue of Municipal Obligations may cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced below the rating given at the time the securities were acquired by the Portfolio. Neither event will require the sale of such Municipal Obligations by the Portfolio, but Greenwich Street Advisors will consider such event in its determination of whether the Portfolio should continue to hold the Municipal Obligations. In addition, to the extent the ratings change as a result of changes in the rating systems or due to a corporate restructuring of Moody's, S&P or Fitch, the Portfolio will attempt to use comparable ratings as standards for its investments in accordance with its investment objective and policies. The Portfolio will seek to invest substantially all of its assets in Municipal Obligations, and under normal conditions, at least 80% of the Portfolio's total assets will be invested in investment grade Municipal Obligations. The Portfolio may invest in Municipal Obligations rated as low as Baa by Moody's, BBB by S&P or BBB by Fitch or in unrated Municipal Obligations deemed to be of comparable quality. Although such securities are considered investment grade, they may be subject to greater risks than other higher-rated investment grade securities. While the market for Municipal Obligations is considered to be generally adequate, the existence of limited markets for particular lower-rated and comparable unrated securities may diminish the Portfolio's ability to (1) obtain accurate market quotations for purposes of valuing such securities and calculating its net asset value and (2) sell the securities at fair value to respond to changes in the economy or in the financial markets. The market for certain lower-rated and comparable unrated securities is relatively new and has not fully weathered a major economic recession. Any such economic downturn could adversely affect the ability of the issuers of such securities to repay principal and pay interest thereon. Taxable Investments Under normal conditions, the Portfolio may hold up to 20% of its assets in cash or money market instruments, including taxable money market instruments (collectively, "Taxable Investments"). Money market instruments in which the Portfolio may invest include: U.S. government securities; tax-exempt notes of municipal issuers rated, at the time of purchase, no lower than MIG1 by Moody's, SP-1 by S&P or F-1 by Fitch or, if not rated, by issuers having outstanding unsecured debt then rated within the three highest rating categories; bank obligations (including certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers' acceptances of domestic banks, domestic savings and loan associations and similar institutions); commercial paper rated no lower than P-1 by Moody's, A-1 by S&P or F-1 by Fitch or the equivalent from another nationally recognized rating service or, if unrated, of an issuer having an outstanding, unsecured debt issue then rated within the three highest rating categories; and repurchase agreements At no time will the Portfolio's investments in bank obligations, including time deposits, exceed 25% of the value of its assets. U.S. government securities in which the Portfolio may invest include direct obligations of the United States and obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities. Included among direct obligations of the United States are Treasury bills, Treasury notes and Treasury bonds, which differ principally in terms of their maturities. Included among the securities issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities are: securities that are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States (such as Government National Mortgage Association certificates); securities that are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury (such as securities of Federal Home Loan Banks); and securities that are supported by the credit of the instrumentality (such as Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation bonds). Lending Securities By lending its securities, the Portfolio can increase its income by continuing to receive interest on the loaned securities, by investing the cash collateral in short-term instruments or by obtaining yield in the form of interest paid by the borrower when U.S. government securities are used as collateral. The Portfolio will adhere to the following conditions whenever it lends its securities: (1) the Portfolio must receive at least 100% cash collateral or equivalent securities from the borrower, which will be maintained by daily marking-to-market; (2) the borrower must increase the collateral whenever the market value of the securities loaned rises above the level of the collateral; (3) the Portfolio must be able to terminate the loan at any time; (4) the Portfolio must receive reasonable interest on the loan, as well as any dividends, interest or other distributions on the loaned securities, and any increase in market value; (5) the Portfolio may pay only reasonable custodian fees in connection with the loan; and (6) voting rights on the loaned securities may pass to the borrower, except that, if a material event adversely affecting the investment in the loaned securities occurs, the Portfolio's Board of Directors must terminate the loan and retain the Portfolio's right to vote the securities. From time to time, the Portfolio may pay a part of the interest earned from the investment of collateral received for securities loaned to the borrower and/or a third party that is unaffiliated with the Portfolio and that is acting as a "finder." Repurchase Agreements The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with certain member banks of the Federal Reserve System and certain dealers on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's list of reporting dealers. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio would acquire an underlying debt obligation for a relatively short period (usually not more than one week) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time, thereby determining the yield during the Portfolio's holding period. Under each repurchase agreement, the selling institution will be required to maintain the value of the securities subject to the repurchase agreement at not less than their repurchase price. Greenwich Street Advisors, acting under the supervision of the Portfolio's Board of Directors, reviews on an ongoing basis the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the Portfolio enters into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks. In entering into a repurchase agreement, the Portfolio will bear a risk of loss in the event that the other party to the transaction defaults on its obligations and the Portfolio is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the underlying securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period in which the Portfolio seeks to assert its rights to them, the risk of incurring expenses associated with asserting those rights and the risk of losing all or a part of the income from the agreement. Investments in Municipal Obligation Index and Interest Rate Futures Contracts and Options on Interest Rate Futures Contracts The Portfolio may invest in Municipal Obligation index and interest rate futures contracts and options on interest rate futures contracts that are traded on a domestic exchange or board of trade. Such investments may be made by the Portfolio solely for the purpose of hedging against changes in the value of its portfolio securities due to anticipated changes in interest rates and market conditions, and not for purposes of speculation. Further, such investments will be made only in unusual circumstances, such as when Greenwich Street Advisors anticipates an extreme change in interest rates or market conditions. Municipal Obligation Index and Interest Rate Futures Contracts. A Municipal Obligation index futures contract is an agreement to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to a specific dollar amount times the difference between the value of the index at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the index contract is originally written. No physical delivery of the underlying Municipal Obligations in the index is made. Interest rate futures contracts are contracts for the future purchase or sale of specified interest rate sensitive debt securities of the U.S. Treasury, such as U.S. Treasury bills, bonds and notes, obligations of the Government National Mortgage Association and bank certificates of deposit. Although most interest rate futures contracts require the delivery of the underlying securities, some settle in cash. Each contract designates the price, date, time and place of delivery. The purpose of the Portfolio's entering into a Municipal Obligation index or interest rate futures contract, as the holder of long-term Municipal Obligations, is to protect the Portfolio from fluctuation in interest rates on tax-exempt securities without actually buying or selling Municipal Obligations. The Portfolio will, with respect to its purchases of financial futures contracts, establish a segregated account consisting of cash or cash equivalents in an amount equal to the total market value of the futures contracts, less the amount of initial margin on deposit for the contracts. Unlike the purchase or sale of a Municipal Obligation, no consideration is paid or received by the Portfolio upon the purchase or sale of a futures contract. Initially, the Portfolio will be required to deposit with the futures commission merchant an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to approximately 5% of the contract amount (this amount is subject to change by the board of trade on which the contract is traded and members of such board of trade may charge a higher amount). This amount is known as "initial margin" and is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on the contract which is returned to the Portfolio upon termination of the futures contract, assuming that all contractual obligations have been satisfied. Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin", to and from the futures commission merchant, will be made on a daily basis as the price of the index or securities fluctuates making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable, a process known as marking-to-market. At any time prior to the expiration of the contract, the Portfolio may elect to close the position by taking an opposite position, which will operate to terminate the Portfolio's existing position in the futures contract. There are several risks in connection with the use of Municipal Obligation index and interest rate futures contracts as a hedging device. Successful use of these futures contracts by the Portfolio is subject to Greenwich Street Advisors' ability to predict correctly movements in the direction of interest rates. Such predictions involve skills and techniques which may be different from those involved in the management of a long-term Municipal Obligation portfolio. In addition, there can be no assurance that a correlation would exist between movements in the price of the Municipal Obligation index or the debt security underlying the futures contract and movement in the price of the Municipal Obligations which are the subject of the hedge. The degree of imperfection of correlation depends upon various circumstances, such as variations in speculative market demand for futures contracts and Municipal Obligations and technical influences on futures trading. The Portfolio's Municipal Obligations and the Municipal Obligations in the index may also differ in such respects as interest rate levels, maturities and creditworthiness of issuers. A decision of whether, when and how to hedge involves the exercise of skill and judgment and even a well-conceived hedge may be unsuccessful to some degree because of market behavior or unexpected trends in interest rates. Although the Portfolio intends to enter into futures contracts only if an active market exists for such contracts, there can be no assurance that an active market will exist for a contract at any particular time. Most domestic futures exchanges and boards of trade limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in futures contract prices during a single trading day. The daily limit establishes the maximum amount the price of a futures contract may vary either up or down from the previous day's settlement price at the end of a trading session. Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made that day at a price beyond that limit. The daily limit governs only price movement during a particular trading day and therefore does not limit potential losses because the limit may prevent the liquidation of unfavorable positions. It is possible that futures contract prices could move to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of futures positions and subjecting some futures traders to substantial losses. In such event, it will not be possible to close a futures position and, in the event of adverse price movements, the Portfolio would be required to make daily cash payments of variation margin. In such circumstances, an increase in the value of the portion of the portfolio being hedged, if any, may partially or completely offset losses on the futures contract. As described above, however, there is no guarantee the price of Municipal Obligations will, in fact, correlate with the price movements in a futures contract and thus provide an offset to losses on a futures contract. If the Portfolio has hedged against the possibility of an increase in interest rates adversely affecting the value of Municipal Obligations it holds and rates decrease instead, the Portfolio will lose part or all of the benefit of the increased value of the Municipal Obligations it has hedged because it will have offsetting losses in its futures positions. In addition, in such situations, if the Portfolio has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities to meet daily variation margin requirements. Such sales of securities may, but will not necessarily, be at increased prices which reflect the decline in interest rates. The Portfolio may have to sell securities at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so. Options on Interest Rate Futures Contracts. The Portfolio may purchase put and call options on interest rate futures contracts which are traded on a domestic exchange or board of trade as a hedge against changes in interest rates, and may enter into closing transactions with respect to such options to terminate existing positions. The Portfolio will sell put and call options on interest rate futures contracts only as part of closing sale transactions to terminate its options positions. There is no guarantee such closing transactions can be effected. Options on interest rate futures contracts, as contrasted with the direct investment in such contracts, give the purchaser the right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a position in interest rate futures contracts at a specified exercise price at any time prior to the expiration date of the options. Upon exercise of an option, the delivery of the futures position by the writer of the option to the holder of the option will be accompanied by delivery of the accumulated balance in the writer's futures margin account, which represents the amount by which the market price of the futures contract exceeds, in the case of a call, or is less than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the option on the futures contract. The potential loss related to the purchase of an option on interest rate futures contracts is limited to the premium paid for the option (plus transaction costs). Because the value of the option is fixed at the point of sale, there are no daily cash payments to reflect changes in the value of the underlying contract; however, the value of the option does change daily and that change would be reflected in the net asset value of the Portfolio. There are several risks relating to options on interest rate futures contracts. The ability to establish and close out positions on such options will be subject to the existence of a liquid market. In addition, the Portfolio's purchase of put or call options will be based upon predictions as to anticipated interest rate trends by Greenwich Street Advisors, which could prove to be inaccurate. Even if Greenwich Street Advisors' expectations are correct, there may be an imperfect correlation between the change in the value of the options and of the Portfolio's securities. Municipal Obligations General Information. Municipal Obligations generally are understood to include debt obligations issued to obtain funds for various public purposes, including the construction of a wide range of public facilities, refunding of outstanding obligations, payment of general operating expenses and extensions of loans to public institutions and facilities. Private activity bonds that are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to obtain funds to provide privately operated facilities are included within the term Municipal Obligations if the interest paid thereon qualifies as excludable from gross income (but not necessarily from alternative minimum taxable income) for federal income tax purposes in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer. The yields on Municipal Obligations are dependent upon a variety of factors, including general economic and monetary conditions, general money market conditions, general conditions of the Municipal Obligations market, the financial condition of the issuer, the size of a particular offering, the maturity of the obligation offered and the rating of the issue. Municipal Obligations are also subject to the provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, such as the Federal Bankruptcy Code, and laws, if any, that may be enacted by Congress or state legislatures extending the time for payment of principal or interest, or both, or imposing other constraints upon enforcement of the obligations or upon the ability of municipalities to levy taxes. There is also the possibility that as a result of litigation or other conditions, the power or ability of any one or more issuer to pay, when due, principal of and interest on its, or their, Municipal Obligations may be materially affected. The net asset value of the Common Stock will change with changes in the value of the Portfolio's securities. Because the Portfolio will invest primarily in fixed-income securities, the net asset value of the Common Stock can be expected to change as levels of interest rates fluctuate; generally, when prevailing interest rates increase, the value of fixed-income securities held by the Portfolio can be expected to decrease and when prevailing interest rates decrease, the value of the fixed-income securities held by the Portfolio can be expected to increase. The value of the fixed-income securities held by the Portfolio, and thus the Portfolio's net asset value, may also be affected by other economic, market and credit factors. From time to time, the Portfolio's investments may include securities as to which the Portfolio, by itself or together with other funds or accounts managed by Greenwich Street Advisors, holds a major portion or all of an issue of Municipal Obligations. Because relatively few potential purchasers may be available for these investments and, in some cases, contractual restrictions may apply on resales, the Portfolio may find it more difficult to sell these securities at a time when Greenwich Street Advisors believes it is advisable to do so. When-Issued Securities. The Portfolio may purchase Municipal Obligations on a "when-issued" basis (i.e., for delivery beyond the normal settlement date at a stated price and yield). The payment obligation and the interest rate that will be received on the Municipal Obligations purchased on a when-issued basis are each fixed at the time the buyer enters into the commitment. Although the Portfolio will purchase Municipal Obligations on a when-issued basis only with the intention of actually acquiring the securities, the Portfolio may sell these securities before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable as a matter of investment strategy. Municipal Obligations are subject to changes in value based upon the public's perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers and changes, real or anticipated, in the level of interest rates. In general, Municipal Obligations tend to appreciate when interest rates decline and depreciate when interest rates rise. Purchasing Municipal Obligations on a when-issued basis, therefore, can involve the risk that the yields available in the market when the delivery takes place actually may be higher than those obtained in the transaction itself. To account for this risk, a separate account of the Portfolio consisting of cash or liquid debt securities equal to the amount of the when-issued commitments will be established at the Portfolio's custodian bank. For the purpose of determining the adequacy of the securities in the account, the deposited securities will be valued at market or fair value. If the market or fair value of such securities declines, additional cash or securities will be placed in the account on a daily basis so that the value of the account will equal the amount of such commitments by the Portfolio. Placing securities rather than cash in the segregated account may have a leveraging effect on the Portfolio's net assets. That is, to the extent the Portfolio remains substantially fully invested in securities at the same time it has committed to purchase securities on a when-issued basis, there will be greater fluctuations in its net assets than if it had set aside cash to satisfy its purchase commitment. Upon the settlement date of the when-issued securities, the Portfolio will meet its obligations from then-available cash flow, sale of securities held in the segregated account, sale of other securities or, although it would not normally expect to do so, from the sale of the when-issued securities themselves (which may have a value greater or less than the Portfolio's payment obligations). Sales of securities to meet such obligations may involve the realization of capital gains, which are not exempt from federal income taxes. When the Portfolio engages in when-issued transactions, it relies on the seller to consummate the trade. Failure of the seller to do so may result in the Portfolio's incurring a loss or missing an opportunity to obtain a price considered to be advantageous. Municipal Leases. Municipal leases may take the form of a lease or an installment purchase contract issued by state and local government authorities to obtain funds to acquire a wide variety of equipment and facilities such as fire and sanitation vehicles, computer equipment and other capital assets. These obligations have evolved to make it possible for state and local government authorities to acquire property and equipment without meeting constitutional and statutory requirements for the issuance of debt. Thus, municipal leases have special risks not normally associated with Municipal Obligations. These obligations frequently contain "non- appropriation" clauses providing that the governmental issuer of the obligation has no obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for such purposes by the legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis. In addition to the "non-appropriation" risk, municipal leases represent a type of financing that has not yet developed the depth of marketability associated with Municipal Obligations; moreover, although the obligations will be secured by the leased equipment, the disposition of the equipment in the event of foreclosure might prove difficult. To limit the risks associated with municipal leases, the Portfolio will invest no more than 5% of its total assets in lease obligations that contain non-appropriation clauses and will only purchase a non-appropriation lease obligation with respect to which (1) the nature of the leased equipment or other property is such that its ownership or use is reasonably essential to a governmental function of the issuing municipality, (2) the lease payments will begin to amortize the principal balance due at an early date, resulting in an average life of five years or less for the lease obligation, (3) appropriate covenants will be obtained from the municipal obligor prohibiting the substitution or purchase of similar equipment or other property if lease payments are not appropriated, (4) the lease obligor has maintained good market acceptability in the past, (5) the investment is of a size that will be attractive to institutional investors and (6) the underlying leased equipment or other property has elements of portability and/or use that enhance its marketability in the event that foreclosure on the underlying equipment or other property were ever required. Municipal leases that the Portfolio may acquire will be both rated and unrated. Rated leases that may be held by the Portfolio include those rated investment grade at the time of investment (that is, rated no lower than Baa by Moody's, BBB by S&P or BBB by Fitch). The Portfolio may acquire unrated issues that Greenwich Street Advisors deems to be comparable in quality to rated issues in which the Portfolio is authorized to invest. A determination by Greenwich Street Advisors that an unrated lease obligation is comparable in quality to a rated lease obligation will be made on the basis of, among other things, a consideration of whether the nature of the leased equipment or other property is such that its ownership or use is reasonably essential to a governmental function of the issuing municipality. In addition, all such determinations made by Greenwich Street Advisors will be subject to oversight and approval by the Portfolio's Board of Directors. Municipal leases held by the Portfolio will be considered illiquid securities unless the Portfolio's Board of Directors determines on an ongoing basis that the leases are readily marketable. An unrated municipal lease with a non- appropriation risk that is backed by an irrevocable bank letter of credit or an insurance policy issued by a bank or insurer deemed by Greenwich Street Advisors to be of high quality and minimal credit risk will not be deemed to be illiquid solely because the underlying municipal lease is unrated, if Greenwich Street Advisors determines that the lease is readily marketable because it is backed by the letter of credit or insurance policy. Investment Restrictions The Portfolio has adopted certain fundamental investment restrictions that may not be changed without the prior approval of the holders of a majority of the Portfolio's outstanding voting securities. A "majority of the Portfolio's outstanding voting securities" for this purpose means the lesser of (1) 67% or more of the shares of the Portfolio's Common Stock present at a meeting of shareholders, if the holders of 50% of the outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy at the meeting or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding shares. For purposes of the restrictions listed below, all percentage limitations apply immediately after a purchase or initial investment, and any subsequent change in applicable percentage resulting from market fluctuations will not require elimination of any security from the portfolio. Under its fundamental restrictions, the Portfolio may not: 1. Purchase securities other than Municipal Obligations and Taxable Investments as those terms are described in the Prospectus and this SAI. 2. Borrow money, except for temporary or emergency purposes, or for clearance of transactions, and then only in amounts not exceeding 15% of its total assets (not including the amount borrowed) and as otherwise described in the Prospectus and this SAI. When the Portfolio's borrowings exceed 5% of the value of its total assets, the Portfolio will not make any additional investments. 3. Sell securities short or purchase securities on margin, except for such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions, but the Portfolio may make margin deposits in connection with transactions in options, futures and options on futures. 4. Underwrite any issue of securities, except to the extent that the purchase of Municipal Obligations may be deemed to be an underwriting. 5. Purchase, hold or deal in real estate or oil and gas interests, except that the Portfolio may invest in Municipal Obligations secured by real estate or interests in real estate. 6. Invest in commodities, except that the Portfolio may enter into futures contracts, including those relating to indexes, and options on futures contracts or indexes, as described in the Prospectus and this SAI. 7. Lend any funds or other assets except through purchasing Municipal Obligations or Taxable Investments, lending portfolio securities and entering into repurchase agreements consistent with the Portfolio's investment objective. 8. Issue senior securities. 9. Invest more than 25% of its total assets in the securities of issuers in any single industry, except that this limitation will not be applicable to the purchase of Municipal Obligations and U.S. government securities. 10. Make any investments for the purpose of exercising control or management of any company. Portfolio Transactions Newly issued securities normally are purchased directly from the issuer or from an underwriter acting as principal. Other purchases and sales usually are placed with those dealers from which it appears the best price or execution will be obtained; those dealers may be acting as either agents or principals. The purchase price paid by the Portfolio to underwriters of newly issued securities usually includes a concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter, and purchases of after-market securities from dealers normally are executed at a price between the bid and asked prices. The Portfolio has paid no brokerage commissions since its commencement of operations. Allocation of transactions, including their frequency, to various dealers is determined by Greenwich Street Advisors in its best judgment and in a manner deemed fair and reasonable to shareholders. The primary considerations are availability of the desired security and the prompt execution of orders in an effective manner at the most favorable prices. Subject to these considerations, dealers that provide supplemental investment research and statistical or other services to Greenwich Street Advisors may receive orders for portfolio transactions by the Portfolio. Information so received is in addition to, and not in lieu of, services required to be performed by Greenwich Street Advisors, and the fees of Greenwich Street Advisors are not reduced as a consequence of their receipt of such supplemental information. Such information may be useful to Greenwich Street Advisors in serving both the Portfolio and other clients and, conversely, supplemental information obtained by the placement of business of other clients may be useful to Greenwich Street Advisors in carrying out its obligations to the Portfolio. The Portfolio will not purchase Municipal Obligations during the existence of any underwriting or selling group relating thereto of which Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney") or its affiliates are members except to the extent permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Under certain circumstances, the Portfolio may be at a disadvantage because of this limitation in comparison with other investment companies which have a similar investment objective but which are not subject to such limitation. While investment decisions for the Portfolio are made independently from those of the other accounts managed by Greenwich Street Advisors, investments of the type the Portfolio may make also may be made by those other accounts. When the Portfolio and one or more other accounts managed by Greenwich Street Advisors are prepared to invest in, or desire to dispose of, the same security, available investments or opportunities for sales will be allocated in a manner believed by Greenwich Street Advisors to be equitable to each. In some cases, this procedure may adversely affect the price paid or received by the Portfolio or the size of the position obtained or disposed of by the Portfolio. The Portfolio's Board of Directors will review periodically the commissions paid by the Portfolio to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were reasonable in relation to the benefits inuring to the Portfolio. Portfolio Turnover The Portfolio's portfolio turnover rate (the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio securities during the last fiscal year, excluding purchases or sales of short-term securities, divided by the monthly average value of portfolio securities) generally is not expected to exceed 100%, but the portfolio turnover rate will not be a limiting factor whenever the Portfolio deems it desirable to sell or purchase securities. Securities may be sold in anticipation of a rise in interest rates (market decline) or purchased in anticipation of a decline in interest rates (market rise) and later sold. In addition, a security may be sold and another security of comparable quality may be purchased at approximately the same time in order to take advantage of what the Portfolio believes to be a temporary disparity in the normal yield relationship between the two securities. These yield disparities may occur for reasons not directly related to the investment quality of particular issues or the general movement of interest rates, such as changes in the overall demand for or supply of various types of tax-exempt securities. For the fiscal years ended May 31, 1994 and 1993, the Portfolio's portfolio turnover rate was 72% and 169%, respectively.

Investment Adviser -- Greenwich Street Advisors Administrator -- SBA Sub-Administrator -- Boston Advisors Greenwich Street Advisors serves as investment adviser to the Portfolio pursuant to a written agreement dated July 30, 1993 (the "Advisory Agreement"), a form of which was most recently approved by the Board of Directors, including a majority of those Directors who are not "interested persons" of the Portfolio or Greenwich Street Advisors ("Non-Interested Directors") on September 7, 1994 and by the shareholders at an Annual Meeting of the Portfolio on June 9, 1993. Unless terminated sooner, the Advisory Agreement will continue for successive annual periods thereafter provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually: (1) by a majority vote of the Non-Interested Directors cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval; and (2) by the Board of Directors or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Greenwich Street Advisors is a division of Mutual Management Corp., which is in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"), which is in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of The Travelers Inc. Greenwich Street Advisors pays the salary of any officer or employee who is employed by both it and the Portfolio. Greenwich Street Advisors bears all expenses in connection with the performance of its services as investment adviser. For services rendered to the Portfolio, Greenwich Street Advisors receives from the Portfolio a fee, computed and paid monthly at the annual rate of .70% of the value of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the fiscal years ended May 31, 1994 and 1993, such fees amounted to $3,122,879 and $2,752,164, respectively. Under the Advisory Agreement, Greenwich Street Advisors will not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Portfolio in connection with the Advisory Agreement, except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of Greenwich Street Advisors in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard of its duties and obligations under the Advisory Agreement. The Advisory Agreement is terminable by vote of the Board of Directors or by the holders of a majority of Common Stock, at any time without penalty, on 60 days' written notice to Greenwich Street Advisors. The Advisory Agreement may also be terminated by Greenwich Street Advisors on 90 days' written notice to the Portfolio. The Advisory Agreement terminates automatically upon its assignment. SBA serves as administrator to the Portfolio pursuant to a written agreement dated June 1, 1994 (the "Administration Agreement").

Each of the Administration and Sub- Administration Agreements (the "Agreements") will continue automatically for successive annual periods provided that such continuance is approved at least annually by the Board of Directors of the Portfolio including a majority of the Non- Interested Directors, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting such approval. The Agreements are terminable, without penalty, upon 60 days' written notice, by the Board of Directors of the Portfolio or by vote of holders of a majority of the Portfolio's shares of Common Stock, or upon 90 days' written notice, by SBA and Boston Advisors, respectively. The Portfolio bears expenses incurred in its operation including: fees of the investment adviser and administrator; taxes, interest, brokerage fees and commissions, if any; fees of Directors who are not officers, directors, shareholders or employees of Smith Barney ; SEC fees and state blue sky qualification fees; charges of the custodian; transfer and dividend disbursing agent's fees; certain insurance premiums; outside auditing and legal expenses; costs of any independent pricing service; costs of maintaining corporate existence; costs attributable to investor services (including allocated telephone and personnel expenses); costs of preparation and printing of prospectuses and statements of additional information for regulatory purposes and for distribution to shareholders; shareholders' reports and corporate meetings of the officers, Board of Directors and shareholders of the Portfolio. TAXES As described above and in the Prospectus, the Portfolio is designed to provide investors with current income which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The Portfolio is not intended to constitute a balanced investment program and is not designed for investors seeking capital gains or maximum tax-exempt income irrespective of fluctuations in principal. Investment in the Portfolio would not be suitable for tax-exempt institutions, qualified retirement plans, H.R. 10 plans and individual retirement accounts because such investors would not gain any additional tax benefit from the receipt of tax-exempt income. The following is a summary of selected federal income tax considerations that may affect the Portfolio and its shareholders. The summary is not intended as a substitute for individual tax advice and investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of an investment in the Portfolio. Taxation of the Portfolio and its Investments The Portfolio has qualified and intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). In addition, the Portfolio intends to satisfy conditions contained in the Code that will enable interest from Municipal Obligations, excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes with respect to the Portfolio, to retain that tax- exempt status when distributed to the shareholders of the Portfolio (that is, to be classified as "exempt-interest" dividends of the Portfolio). If it qualifies as a regulated investment company, the Portfolio will pay no federal income taxes on its taxable net investment income (that is, taxable income other than net realized capital gains) and its net realized capital gains that are distributed to shareholders. To qualify under Subchapter M of the Code, the Portfolio must, among other things: (1) distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of its taxable net investment income (for this purpose consisting of taxable net investment income and net realized short-term capital gains) and 90% of its tax-exempt net investment income (reduced by certain expenses); (2) derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, payments with respect to loans of securities, gains from the sale or other disposition of securities, or other income (including, but not limited to, gains from options, futures, and forward contracts) derived with respect to the Portfolio's business of investing in securities; (3) derive less than 30% of its annual gross income from the sale or other disposition of securities, options, futures or forward contracts held for less than three months; and (4) diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each fiscal quarter of the Portfolio (a) at least 50% of the market value of the Portfolio's assets is represented by cash, U.S. government securities and other securities, with those other securities limited, with respect to any one issuer, to an amount no greater than 5% of the Portfolio's assets and (b) not more than 25% of the market value of the Portfolio's assets is invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. government securities or securities of other regulated investment companies) or of two or more issuers that the Portfolio controls and that are determined to be in the same or similar trades or businesses or related trades or businesses. In meeting these requirements, the Portfolio may be restricted in the selling of securities held by the Portfolio for less than three months and in the utilization of certain of the investment techniques described above under "Investment Objective and Policies". As a regulated investment company, the Portfolio will be subject to a 4% non-deductible excise tax measured with respect to certain undistributed amounts of ordinary income and capital gain. The Portfolio expects to pay dividends and distributions necessary to avoid the application of this excise tax. As described above in this Statement of Additional Information and in the Prospectus, the Portfolio may invest in financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts that are traded on a U.S. exchange or board of trade. The Portfolio anticipates that these investment activities will not prevent the Portfolio from qualifying as a regulated investment company. As a general rule, these investment activities will increase or decrease the amount of long-term and short-term capital gains or losses realized by the Portfolio and thus will affect the amount of capital gains distributed to the Portfolio's shareholders. For federal income tax purposes, gain or loss on the futures and options described above (collectively referred to as "Section 1256 Contracts") would, as a general rule, be taxed pursuant to a special "mark-to-market system." Under the mark- to-market system, the Portfolio may be treated as realizing a greater or lesser amount of gains or losses than actually realized. As a general rule, gain or loss on Section 1256 Contracts is treated as 60% long-term capital gain or loss and 40% short-term capital gain or loss, and as a result, the mark- to-market system will generally affect the amount of capital gains or losses taxable to the Portfolio and the amount of distributions taxable to a shareholder. Moreover, if the Portfolio invests in both Section 1256 Contracts and offsetting positions in those contracts, then the Portfolio might not be able to receive the benefit of certain realized losses for an indeterminate period of time. The Portfolio expects that its activities with respect to Section 1256 Contracts and offsetting positions in those Contracts (1) will not cause it or its shareholders to be treated as receiving a materially greater amount of capital gains or distributions than actually realized or received and (2) will permit it to use substantially all of its losses for the fiscal years in which the losses actually occur. Taxation of the Portfolio's Shareholders The Portfolio anticipates that all dividends it pays, other than dividends from Taxable Investments and from income or gain derived from securities transactions and from the use of certain of the investment techniques described under "Investment Objective and Policies" will be derived from interest on Municipal Obligations and thus will be exempt- interest dividends that may be excluded by shareholders from their gross income for federal income tax purposes if the Portfolio satisfies certain asset percentage requirements. Dividends paid from the Portfolio's net investment income and distributions of the Portfolio's net realized short-term capital gains are taxable to shareholders of the Portfolio as ordinary income, regardless of the length of time shareholders have held shares of Common Stock and whether the dividends or distributions are received in cash or reinvested in additional shares. As a general rule, a shareholder's gain or loss on a sale of his or her shares of Common Stock will be a long-term gain or loss if he or she has held his or her shares for more than one year and will be a short-term capital gain or loss if he or she has held his or her shares for one year or less. Dividends and distributions paid by the Portfolio will not qualify for the federal dividends-received deduction for corporations. Exempt-Interest Dividends Interest on indebtedness incurred by a shareholder to purchase or carry shares of Common Stock is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. If a shareholder receives exempt- interest dividends with respect to any share of Common Stock and if the share is held by the shareholder for six months or less, then any loss on the sale of the share may, to the extent of the exempt-interest dividends, be disallowed. The code may also require a shareholder if he or she receives exempt- interest dividends to treat as taxable income a portion of certain otherwise non-taxable social security and railroad retirement benefit payments. In addition, the portion of any exempt-interest dividend paid by the Portfolio that represents income derived from private activity bonds held by the Portfolio may not retain its tax-exempt status in the hands of a shareholder who is a "substantial user" of a facility financed by the bonds, or a "related person" of the substantial user. Although the Portfolio's exempt-interest dividends may be excluded by shareholders from their gross income for federal income tax purposes (1) some or all of the Portfolio's exempt- interest dividends may be a specific preference item, or a component of an adjustment item, for purposes of the federal individual and corporate alternative minimum taxes and (2) the receipt of dividends and distributions from the Portfolio may affect a corporate shareholder's federal "environmental" tax liability. The receipt of dividends and distributions from the Portfolio may affect a foreign corporate shareholder's federal "branch profits" tax liability and a corporate shareholder's federal "excess net passive income" tax liability. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors to determine whether they are (1) "substantial users" with respect to a facility or "related" to those users within the meaning of the Code or (2) subject to a federal alternative minimum tax, the federal "environmental" tax, the federal "branch profits" tax, or the federal "excess net passive income" tax. Dividend Reinvestment Plan A shareholder of the Portfolio receiving dividends or distributions in additional shares pursuant to the Plan should be treated for federal income tax purposes as receiving a distribution in an amount equal to the amount of money that a shareholder receiving cash dividends or distributions receives, and should have a cost basis in the shares received equal to that amount. Statements and Notices Statements as to the tax status of the dividends and distributions received by shareholders of the Portfolio are mailed annually. These statements show the dollar amount of income excluded from federal income taxes and the dollar amount, if any, subject to federal income taxes. The statements will also designate the amount of exempt-interest dividends that are a specific preference item for purposes of the federal individual and corporate alternative minimum taxes and will indicate the shareholder's share of the investment expenses of the Portfolio. The Portfolio will notify shareholders annually as to the interest excluded from federal income taxes earned by the Portfolio with respect to those states and possessions in which the Portfolio has or had investments. The dollar amount of dividends paid by the Portfolio that is excluded from federal income taxation and the dollar amount of dividends paid by the Portfolio that is subject to federal income taxation, if any, will vary for each shareholder depending upon the size and duration of the shareholder's investment in the Portfolio. To the extent that the Portfolio earns taxable net investment income, it intends to designate as taxable dividends the same percentage of each day's dividend as its taxable net investment income bears to its total net investment income earned on that day. Therefore, the percentage of each day's dividend designated as taxable, if any, may vary from day to day. Backup Withholding If a shareholder fails to furnish a correct taxpayer identification number, fails to report fully dividend or interest income, or fails to certify that he has provided a correct taxpayer identification number and that he is not subject to "backup withholding," the shareholder may be subject to a 20% "backup withholding" tax with respect to (1) taxable dividends and distributions and (2) the proceeds of any sales or repurchases of shares of Common Stock. An individual's taxpayer identification number is his social security number. The 20% backup withholding tax is not an additional tax and may be credited against a taxpayer's federal income tax liability. STOCK PURCHASES AND TENDERS The Portfolio may repurchase shares of its Common Stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions when the Portfolio can do so at prices below their then current net asset value per share on terms that the Portfolio's Board of Directors believes represent a favorable investment opportunity. In addition, the Board of Directors currently intends to consider, at least once a year, making an offer to each shareholder of record to purchase at net asset value shares of Common Stock owned by the shareholder. No assurance can be given that repurchases and/or tenders will result in the Portfolio's shares trading at a price that is equal to their net asset value. The market prices of the Portfolio shares will, among other things, be determined by the relative demand for and supply of the shares in the market, the Portfolio's investment performance, the Portfolio's dividends and yield and investor perception of the Portfolio's overall attractiveness as an investment as compared with other investment alternatives. The Portfolio's acquisition of Common Stock will decrease the total assets of the Portfolio and therefore have the effect of increasing the Portfolio's expense ratio. The Portfolio may borrow money to finance the repurchase of shares subject to the limitations described in the Prospectus. Any interest on the borrowings will reduce the Portfolio's net income. Because of the nature of the Portfolio's investment objective, policies and securities holdings, Greenwich Street Advisors does not anticipate that repurchases and tenders will have an adverse effect on the Portfolio's investment performance and does not anticipate any material difficulty in disposing of securities to consummate Common Stock repurchases and tenders. When a tender offer is authorized to be made by the Portfolio's Board of Directors, it will be an offer to purchase at a price equal to the net asset value of all (but not less than all) of the shares owned by the shareholder (or attributed to him for federal income tax purposes under Section 38 of the Code). A shareholder who tenders all shares owned or considered owned by him or her, as required, will realize a taxable gain or loss depending upon his or her basis in his or her shares. If the Portfolio liquidates securities in order to repurchase shares of Common Stock, the Portfolio may realize gains and losses. These gains, if any, may be realized on securities held for less than three months. Because the Portfolio must derive less that 30% of its gross income for any taxable year from the sale or disposition of stock and securities held less than three months (in order to retain the Portfolio's regulated investment company status under the Code), gains realized by the Portfolio due to a liquidation of securities held for less than three months would reduce the amount of gain on sale of other securities held for less than three months that the Portfolio could realize in the ordinary course of its portfolio management, which may adversely affect the Portfolio's performance. The portfolio turnover rate of the Portfolio may or may not be affected by the Portfolio's repurchases of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Legal Matters Willkie Farr & Gallagher serves as legal counsel to the Portfolio.

APPENDIX DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S, S&P AND FITCH RATINGS Description of Moody's Municipal Bond Ratings: Aaa - Bonds that are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality, carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as "gilt edge." Interest payments with respect to these bonds are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin, and principal is secure. Although the various protective elements applicable to these bonds are likely to change, those changes are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of these bonds. Aa - Bonds that are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards and together with the Aaa group comprise what are generally known as high grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities, or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude, or other elements may be present that make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities. A - Bonds that are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to principal and interest with respect to these bonds are considered adequate, but elements may be present that suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future. Baa - Bonds rated Baa are considered to be medium grade obligations, that is they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payment and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. These bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and may have speculative characteristics as well. Moody's applies the numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 in each generic rating classification from Aa through B. The modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of its generic rating category. Description of Moody's Municipal Note Ratings: Moody's ratings for state and municipal notes and other short-term loans are designated Moody's Investment Grade (MIG) and for variable demand obligations are designated Variable Moody's Investment Grade (VMIG). This distinction recognizes the differences between short- and long-term credit risk. Loans bearing the designation MIG 1/VMIG 1 are of the best quality, enjoying strong protection from established cash flows of funds for their servicing or from established and broad- based access to the market for refinancing, or both. Loans bearing the designation MIG 2/VMIG 2 are of high quality, with margins of protection ample, although not as large as the preceding group. Loans bearing the designation MIG3/VMIG 3 are of favorable quality, with all security elements accounted for but lacking the undeniable strength of the preceding grades. Market access for refinancing, in particular, is likely to be less well established. Description of Moody's Commercial Paper Ratings: The rating Prime-1 is the highest commercial paper rating assigned by Moody's. Issuers rated Prime-1 (or related supporting institutions) are considered to have a superior capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. Issuers rated Prime-2 (or related supporting institutions) are considered to have a strong capacity for repayment of short- term promissory obligations, normally evidenced by many of the characteristics of issuers rated Prime-1 but to a lesser degree. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternative liquidity is maintained. Description of S&P Municipal Bond Ratings: AAA - These bonds are the obligations of the highest quality and have the strongest capacity for timely payment of debt service. General Obligation Bonds Rated AAA - In a period of economic stress, the issuers of these bonds will suffer the smallest declines in income and will be least susceptible to autonomous decline. Debt burden is moderate. A strong revenue structure appears more than adequate to meet future expenditure requirements. Quality of management appears superior. Revenue Bonds Rated A - Debt service coverage with respect to these bonds has been, and is expected to remain, substantial. Stability of the pledged revenues is also exceptionally strong due to the competitive position of the municipal enterprise or to the nature of the revenues. Basic security provisions (including rate covenant, earnings test for issuance of additional bonds, debt service reserve requirements) are rigorous. There is evidence of superior management. AA - The investment characteristics of bonds in this group are only slightly less marked than those of the prime quality issues. Bonds rated AA have the second strongest capacity for payment of debt service. A - Principal and interest payments on bonds in this category are regarded as safe although the bonds are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than bonds in high rated categories. This rating describes the third strongest capacity for payment of debt service. General Obligation Bonds Rated A - There is some weakness, either in the local economic base, in debt burden, in the balance between revenues and expenditures, or in quality of management. Under certain adverse circumstances, any one such weakness might impair the ability of the issuer to meet debt obligations at some future date. Revenue Bonds Rated A - Debt service coverage is good, but not exceptional. Stability of the pledged revenues could show some variations because of increased competition or economic influences on revenues. Basic security provisions, while satisfactory, are less stringent. Management performance appears adequate. BBB - The bonds in this group are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Whereas bonds in this group normally exhibit adequate protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in higher rated categories. Bonds rated BBB have the fourth strongest capacity for payment of debt service. S&P's letter ratings may be modified by the addition of a plus or a minus sign, which is used to show relative standing within the major rating categories, except in the AAA category. Description of S&P Municipal Note Ratings: Municipal notes with maturities of three years or less are usually given note ratings (designated SP-1, -2 or -3) to distinguish more clearly the credit quality of notes as compared to bonds. Notes rated SP-1 have a very strong or strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Those issues determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics are given the designation of SP-1+. Notes rated SP-2 have a satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest. Description of S&P Commercial Paper Ratings: Commercial paper rated A-1 by S&P indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is either overwhelming or very strong. Those issues determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics are denoted A-1+. Capacity for timely payment on commercial paper rated A-2 is strong, but the relative degree of safety is not as high as issues designated A-1. Description of Fitch Municipal Bond Ratings: AAA - Bonds rated AAA by Fitch are considered to be investment grade and of the highest credit quality. The obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay interest and repay principal, which is unlikely to be affected by reasonably foreseeable events. AA - Bonds rated AA by Fitch are considered to be investment grade and of very high credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is very strong, although not quite as strong as bonds rated AAA. Because bonds rated in the AAA and AA categories are not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable future developments, short-term debt of these issues is generally rated F1+ by Fitch. A - Bonds rated A by Fitch are considered to be investment grade and of high credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be strong, but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances than bonds with higher ratings. BBB - Bonds rated BBB by Fitch are considered to be investment grade and of satisfactory credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances, however, are more likely to have adverse consequences on these bonds, and therefore impair timely payment. The likelihood that the ratings of these bonds will fall below investment grade is higher than for bonds with higher ratings. Plus and minus signs are used by Fitch to indicate the relative position of a credit within a rating category. Plus and minus signs, however, are not used in the AAA category. Description of Fitch Short-Term Ratings Fitch's short-term ratings apply to debt obligations that are payable on demand or have original maturities of generally up to three years, including commercial paper, certificates of deposit, medium-term notes, and municipal and investment notes. The short-term rating places greater emphasis than a long- term rating on the existence of liquidity necessary to meet the issuer's obligations in a timely manner. Fitch's short-term ratings are as follows: F-1+ - Issues assigned this rating are regarded as having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment. F-1 - Issues assigned this rating reflect an assurance of timely payment only slightly less in degree than issues rated F-1+. F-2 - Issues assigned this rating have a satisfactory degree of assurance for timely payment but the margin of safety is not as great as for issues assigned F-1+ and F-1 ratings. F-3 - Issues assigned this rating have characteristics suggesting that the degree of assurance for timely payment is adequate, although near-term adverse changes could cause these securities to be rated below investment grade. LOC - The symbol LOC indicates that the rating is based on a letter of credit issued by a commercial bank. PART C - OTHER INFORMATION Item 24.

Indemnification Under Article VII of Registrant's Articles of Incorporation, any past or present director or officer of Registrant is indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability and all expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he may be a party or otherwise involved by reason or his being or having been a director or officer of Registrant. This provision does not authorize indemnification when it is determined that the director or officer would otherwise be liable to Registrant or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his duties. Expenses may be paid by Registrant in advance of the final disposition of any action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by a director or officer to repay those expenses to Registrant in the event that it is ultimately determined that indemnification of the expenses is not authorized under Registrant's Articles of Incorporation. Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
