PITTSBURGH, Aug. 30, 2024 ~ Federated Hermes Premier Municipal Income Fund (NYSE: FMN) has announced its plans to launch a cash tender offer for up to 32% of its outstanding common shares, subject to certain conditions. The fund, which provides tax-exempt income within a leveraged structure, aims to give all shareholders the opportunity to tender some or all of their common shares at a price per share of 99% of the fund's net asset value (NAV).

The tender offer is set to commence on September 13, 2024 and end on October 11, 2024. Shareholders who choose to participate in the offer may potentially receive a better share price than what is currently available in the market. However, there is no guarantee that the fund will purchase all tendered shares as it will be done on a pro rata basis.

The fund's investment advisor has recommended this tender offer as part of an agreement with Saba Capital Management, L.P. During this period, Saba has agreed to comply with certain standstill covenants and vote its shares in accordance with the recommendations of the fund's Board of Trustees.

In addition, shareholders who do not participate in the tender offer will still benefit from an anticipated increase in NAV due to the lower tender price.

According to the fund's investment advisor, barring any unforeseen material events, this tender offer will not affect the fund's ability to maintain its total annual operating expenses at or below 0.99%, consistent with its Expense Limitation note included in its Annual Shareholder Report dated November 30, 2023.

The details and terms of the tender offer will be provided through public announcements and notifications in accordance with securities laws. Shareholders can access additional information about the fund's portfolio and products on FederatedHermes.com/us.
