section of the Funds Fund Summary in each Prospectus:
Effective March 1, 2013, the Funds broad-based
securities market index is the Barclays Municipal 20 Year Index (17-22 Year). The Barclays Municipal 20 Year Index (17-22 Year) is the 20 Year (17-22) component of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, which consists of a broad selection of
investment-grade general obligation and revenue bonds of maturities ranging from 17 to 22 years. It is an unmanaged index representative of the tax-exempt bond market. The index is made up of all investment-grade municipal bonds issued after
12/31/90 having a remaining maturity of at least one year. The Funds new broad-based securities market index was selected as its use is more closely aligned with the Funds investment philosophy and the universe of securities in which
PIMCO invests for purposes of the Fund. Prior to March 1, 2013, the Funds primary benchmark was the Barclays Municipal Bond Index.
The following disclosure is added above the row relating to the Barclays Municipal Bond Index in the Average Annual Total Returns table in the Performance Information section of the
