DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)

For the period from September 1, 2023, through February 29, 2024, as provided by Daniel Rabasco and Thomas Casey, portfolio managers of Insight North America LLC, the fund’s sub-adviser.

Market and Fund Performance Overview

For the six-month period ended February 29, 2024, BNY Mellon AMT-Free Municipal Bond Fund’s (the “fund”) Class A shares achieved a total return of 4.43%, Class C shares returned 4.02%, Class I shares returned 4.55%, Class Y shares returned 4.58% and Class Z shares returned 4.58%.¹ In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), produced a total return of 4.33%.²

Municipal bonds posted modest gains over the reporting period as concerns about inflation and interest-rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) eased. The fund’s Class A, I, Y and Z shares outperformed the Index mainly due to its duration positioning.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital.

To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its net assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax. The fund also seeks to provide income exempt from the federal alternative minimum tax.

The fund invests at least 65% of its assets in municipal bonds with an A or higher credit rating, or the unrated equivalent as determined by the sub-adviser. The fund may invest the remaining 35% of its assets in municipal bonds with a credit rating lower than A, including municipal bonds rated below investment grade (“high yield” or “junk” bonds), or the unrated equivalent as determined by the sub-adviser.

The fund’s portfolio managers focus on identifying undervalued sectors and securities and minimize the use of interest-rate forecasting. The portfolio managers select municipal bonds for the fund’s portfolio by:

 Using fundamental credit analysis to estimate the relative value and attractiveness of various sectors and securities and to exploit pricing inefficiencies in the municipal bond market.

 Actively trading among various sectors, such as pre-refunded, general obligation and revenue, based on their apparent relative values. The fund seeks to invest in several of these sectors.

Market Benefits from Easing Inflation, Anticipated Rate Cuts and Favorable Technicals

The municipal bond market surged late in 2023 as inflation continued to ease, and investors looked increasingly to anticipated interest-rate reductions by the Fed. This resulted in strong inflows to municipal mutual funds beginning in 2024, resulting in favorable technical conditions as demand outpaced supply.

Prior to the reporting period, the Fed’s reiteration of its “higher-for-longer” stance caused some turmoil, but a strong rebound began in mid-October 2023 as investors increasingly felt that inflation would continue to trend downward, and that the Fed was likely to begin cutting interest rates sometime in 2024. Strong fundamentals among municipal bond issuers added to the market’s appeal, as did attractive yields.

The surprisingly strong economy, including a robust labor market, bolstered the case that the Fed would achieve a “soft landing” — taming inflation while avoiding a recession or high unemployment. The U.S. economy surprised investors in 2023, growing by a 4.9% annualized rate in the third quarter, followed by a 3.2% annualized rate in the fourth quarter. But it also pushed the likely timetable for rate cuts further out in 2024.

The Fed refrained from raising the federal funds rates during the period, having hiked seven times in 2022 and four more times in 2023. Although inflation continued to trend downward during the period, it remained above the Fed’s 2% target. The core personal consumption expenditures index, which excludes food and energy prices, fell to a 3.8% annualized rate in the third quarter of 2023, followed by 3.2% in the fourth quarter.

But the relative stubbornness of inflation further raised the odds that rate cuts anticipated to occur in early-to-mid 2024 would be postponed. The Consumer Price Index rose in January and February from levels seen in the fourth quarter of 2023. The Producer Price Index, a measure of inflation at the wholesale level, also rose in January and February, after edging down in December 2023.

This caused the market to move sideways during the first months of 2024. However, this kept valuations at attractive levels, extending the opportunity for interested investors.

Long Duration Helped Performance

The fund outperformed the Index during the reporting period due largely to favorable duration positioning. The fund’s duration was long versus the Index, and this supported returns as interest rates declined. The fund’s performance was also driven by sector positioning. An underweight to local general obligation bonds was beneficial as were overweights to continuing care and retirement centers and to industrial development bonds.

Performance was hampered by certain allocation decisions, with overweights to hospitals, housing and tobacco being especially detrimental. Security selection also detracted, especially in the tobacco, special tax, hospital and airport sectors. The fund did not make use of derivatives during the period.

Emphasizing Longer Duration

We plan to keep the fund’s duration long relative to the Index as we believe this will benefit performance when the Fed cuts the federal funds rate later this year, as is widely expected. Near-term, we expect the normal seasonal weakness to occur when new issue supply increases and when investors could also liquidate some holdings to pay for taxes. We anticipate that we will be able to capitalize on this market weakness to add bonds issued by fundamentally sound issuers which provide incremental yield and the potential for price appreciation or spread tightening.

¹ Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid and does not take into consideration the maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge imposed on redemptions in the case of Class C shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Neither Class I, Class Y nor Class Z shares are subject to any initial or deferred sales charge. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Income may be subject to state and local taxes. Capital gains, if any, are fully taxable. The fund’s returns reflect the absorption of certain fund expenses by BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. pursuant to an agreement in effect through December 29, 2024, at which time it may be extended, terminated or modified. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund’s returns would have been lower.

² Source: Lipper Inc. — The Bloomberg U.S. Municipal Bond Index covers the USD-denominated, long-term, tax-exempt bond market. Investors cannot invest directly in any index.

Bonds are subject generally to interest-rate, credit, liquidity and market risks, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the fund’s prospectus. Generally, all other factors being equal, bond prices are inversely related to interest-rate changes, and rate increases can cause price declines.

High yield bonds involve increased credit and liquidity risks compared with investment-grade bonds and are considered speculative in terms of the issuer’s ability to pay interest and repay principal on a timely basis.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)

As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees and other expenses. Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds. You also may pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.

Review your fund’s expenses

The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in BNY Mellon AMT-Free Municipal Bond Fund from September 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

COMPARING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES WITH THOSE OF OTHER FUNDS (Unaudited)

Using the SEC’s method to compare expenses

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds. All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.


Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment
Assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended February 29, 2024

		Class A	Class C	Class I	Class Y	Class Z
Expenses paid per $1,000^†		$3.42	$7.22	$2.16	$2.01	$2.66
Ending value (after expenses)		$1,021.48	$1,017.70	$1,022.73	$1,022.87	$1,022.23
^†	Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .68% for Class A, 1.44% for Class C, .43% for Class I, .40% for Class Y and .53% for Class Z, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The following tables describe the performance for each share class for the fiscal periods indicated. All information (except portfolio turnover rate) reflects financial results for a single fund share. Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, and redemption at net asset value on the last day of the period. Net asset value total return includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. These figures have been derived from the fund’s financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

BNY Mellon AMT-Free Municipal Bond Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of BNY Mellon Municipal Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering two series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital. BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. Insight North America LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the fund’s sub-adviser.

As of the close of business on January 27, 2023, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Reorganization”) previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), all of the assets, subject to the liabilities, of BNY Mellon Connecticut Fund Class A, Class C, Class I, Class Y and Class Z shares were transferred to the fund in a tax free exchange at cost basis for Class A, Class C, Class I, Class Y and Class Z shares of Common Stock of equal value. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds with comparable investment objectives and strategies. Shareholders of BNY Mellon Connecticut Fund Class A, Class C, Class I, Class Y and Class Z shares received Class A, Class C, Class I, Class Y and Class Z shares, respectively, of the fund, in an amount equal to the aggregate net asset value of their investment in the fund’s Class A, Class C, Class I, Class Y and Class Z shares at the time of the exchange. The net asset value of the fund’s Class A, Class C, Class I, Class Y and Class Z shares on the close of business on January 27, 2023, after the reorganization was $13.33 for Class A, $13.33 for Class C, $13.33 for Class I, $13.33 for Class Y, $13.34 Class Z shares, and a total of 6,295,523 Class A, 53,816 Class C, 1,483,868 Class I, 710 Class Y and 3,882,839 Class Z shares were issued to shareholders of BNY Mellon Connecticut Fund Class A, Class C, Class I, Class Y and Class Z shares in the exchange.

objectives and strategies. Shareholders of BNY Mellon Massachusetts Fund Class A, Class C and Class Z shares received Class A, Class C and Class Z shares, respectively, of the fund, in an amount equal to the aggregate net asset value of their investment in the fund’s Class A, Class C and Class Z shares at the time of the exchange. The net asset value of the fund’s Class A, Class C and Class Z shares on the close of business on January 27, 2023, after the reorganization was $13.33 for Class A, $13.33 for Class C, $13.34 Class Z shares, and a total of 1,304,822 Class A, 673 Class C and 5,315,001 Class Z shares were issued to shareholders of BNY Mellon Massachusetts Fund Class A, Class C and Class Z shares in the exchange.

As of the close of business on January 27, 2023, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Reorganization”) previously approved by the Board, all of the assets, subject to the liabilities, of BNY Mellon Pennsylvania Fund Class A, Class C and Class Z shares were transferred to the fund in a tax free exchange at cost basis for Class A, Class C and Class Z shares of Common Stock of equal value. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds with comparable investment objectives and strategies. Shareholders of BNY Mellon Pennsylvania Fund Class A, Class C and Class Z shares received Class A, Class C and Class Z shares, respectively, of the fund, in an amount equal to the aggregate net asset value of their investment in the fund’s Class A, Class C and Class Z shares at the time of the exchange. The net asset value of the fund’s Class A, Class C and Class Z shares on the close of business on January 27, 2023, after the reorganization was $13.33 for Class A, $13.33 for Class C, $13.34 Class Z shares, and a total of 4,858,223 Class A, 17,130 Class C and 1,883,128 Class Z shares were issued to shareholders of BNY Mellon Pennsylvania Fund Class A, Class C and Class Z shares in the exchange.

BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of the fund’s shares. The fund is authorized to issue 1.1 billion shares of $.001 par value Common Stock. The fund currently has authorized five classes of shares: Class A (200 million shares authorized), Class C (200 million shares authorized), Class I (200 million shares authorized), Class Y (100 million shares authorized) and Class Z (400 million shares authorized). Class A and Class C shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear Distribution and/or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class A shares generally are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class A shares bought without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $250,000 or more may be charged a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% if redeemed within one year. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

one year of purchase. Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after the date of purchase, without the imposition of a sales charge. Class I shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including BNY Mellon and its affiliates), acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or an investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value per share generally to institutional investors, and bear no Distribution or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value per share to certain shareholders of the fund. Class Z shares generally are not available for new accounts and bear Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class I, Class Y and Class Z shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or CDSC. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the FASB ASC Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:

The Board has designated the Adviser as the fund’s valuation designee to make all fair value determinations with respect to the fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.

Investments in municipal securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Municipal investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of the following: yields or prices of

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. The Service is engaged under the general oversight of the Board. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to accurately reflect fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.

For securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of February 29, 2024 in valuing the fund’s investments:


	Level 1-Unadjusted Quoted Prices	Level 2- Other Significant Observable Inputs	Level 3-Significant Unobservable Inputs	Total
Assets ($)
Investments in Securities:^†
Collateralized Municipal-Backed Securities	-	2,603,184	-	2,603,184
Municipal Securities	-	1,107,241,424	-	1,107,241,424

^† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations, if any.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized

on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

(c) Market Risk: The value of the securities in which the fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed-income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect the fund. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies world-wide.

Municipal Securities Risk: The amount of public information available about municipal securities is generally less than that for corporate equities or bonds. Special factors, such as legislative changes, and state and local economic and business developments, may adversely affect the yield and/or value of the fund’s investments in municipal securities. Other factors include the general conditions of the municipal securities market, the size of the particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and the rating of the issue. Changes in economic, business or political conditions relating to a particular municipal project, municipality, or state, territory or possession of the United States in which the fund invests may have an impact on the fund’s share price.

(d) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from net investment income. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax-exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)

UPDATES TO SALES CHARGE REDUCTIONS AND WAIVERS AVAILABLE FROM CERTAIN FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES:

The availability of certain sales charge reductions and waivers will depend on whether you purchase fund shares directly from the fund or through a financial intermediary. Financial intermediaries may have different policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load reductions or waivers or CDSC waivers, which are described in the fund’s prospectus. In all instances, it is the investor’s responsibility to notify the fund or the investor’s financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the investor for sales charge reductions or waivers. For reductions or waivers not available through a particular financial intermediary, investors will have to purchase fund shares directly from the fund or through another financial intermediary to receive these reductions or waivers.

Edward Jones

Clients of Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. (Edward Jones) purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible only for the following sales charge reductions and waivers, which can differ from the sales charge reductions and waivers described elsewhere in the fund’s prospectus or the SAI or through another financial intermediary. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase of any relationship, holdings of BNY Mellon Family of Funds, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge reductions or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.

Front-end sales charge reductions on Class A shares purchased on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms

Shareholders purchasing Class A shares of the fund on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms can reduce their initial sales charge in the following ways:

· Transaction size breakpoints, as described in the fund’s prospectus.

· Rights of accumulation (ROA), which entitle shareholders to breakpoint discounts as described in the fund’s prospectus, will be calculated based on the aggregated holdings of shares of funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans) held by the purchaser or in an account grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”) and, if grouping assets as a shareholder, includes all share classes of such funds held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform. Shares of funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds may be included in the ROA calculation only if the shareholder notifies Edward Jones about such shares. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge. The employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level. For purposes of determining the value of a shareholder’s aggregated holdings, eligible shares held will be valued at the higher of their cost minus redemptions or current market value.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (continued)

· Letter of intent (LOI), which allows for breakpoint discounts as described in the fund’s prospectus, based on anticipated purchases of shares of funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds purchased over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. Eligible shares purchased pursuant to a LOI will be valued at the higher of their cost or current market value for purposes of determining the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts with respect to such share purchases. Each purchase a shareholder makes pursuant to a LOI during the 13-month period will receive the front-end sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount indicated in the LOI. Shares of funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds may be included in the LOI calculation only if the shareholder notifies Edward Jones about such shares at the time of calculation. Shares purchased before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid by the shareholder. The sales charge will be adjusted if the shareholder does not meet the goal indicated in the LOI. If the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE RENEWAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AND SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the fund’s Board of Directors (“the Board”) held on October 30-31, 2023, the Board considered the renewal of the fund’s Management Agreement, pursuant to which the Adviser provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services, and the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement (together with the Management Agreement, the “Agreements”), pursuant to which Insight North America LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) provides day-to-day management of the fund’s investments. The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund, were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Board considered several factors that it believed to be relevant, including those discussed below. The Board did not identify any one factor as dispositive, and each Board member may have attributed different weights to the factors considered.

Analysis of Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Board considered information provided to it at the meeting and in previous presentations from representatives of the Adviser regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to funds in the BNY Mellon fund complex, including the fund. The Adviser provided the number of open accounts in the fund, the fund’s asset size and the allocation of fund assets among distribution channels. The Adviser also had previously provided information regarding the diverse intermediary relationships and distribution channels of funds in the BNY Mellon fund complex (such as retail direct or intermediary, in which intermediaries typically are paid by the fund and/or the Adviser) and the Adviser’s corresponding need for broad, deep, and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each intermediary or distribution channel, as applicable to the fund.

The Board also considered research support available to, and portfolio management capabilities of, the fund’s portfolio management personnel and that the Adviser also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements. The Board also considered the Adviser’s extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructures, as well as the Adviser’s supervisory activities over the Sub-Adviser.

Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance and Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board reviewed reports prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data based on classifications provided by Thomson Reuters Lipper (“Lipper”), which included information comparing (1) the performance of the fund’s Class I shares with the performance of a group of institutional general and insured municipal debt funds selected by Broadridge as comparable to the fund (the “Performance Group”) and with a broader group of funds consisting of all retail and institutional general and insured municipal debt funds (the “Performance Universe”), all for various periods ended

INFORMATION ABOUT THE RENEWAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AND SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

August 31, 2023, and (2) the fund’s actual and contractual management fees and total expenses with those of the same group of funds in the Performance Group (the “Expense Group”) and with a broader group of funds consisting of all institutional general and insured municipal debt funds, excluding outliers (the “Expense Universe”), the information for which was derived in part from fund financial statements available to Broadridge as of the date of its analysis. The Adviser previously had furnished the Board with a description of the methodology Broadridge used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe and the Expense Group and Expense Universe.

Performance Comparisons. Representatives of the Adviser stated that the usefulness of performance comparisons may be affected by a number of factors, including different investment limitations and policies that may be applicable to the fund and comparison funds and the end date selected. The Board also considered the fund’s performance in light of overall financial market conditions. The Board discussed with representatives of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser the results of the comparisons and considered that the fund’s total return performance was below the Performance Group median for all periods, except the one- and two-year periods when the fund’s total return performance was above the Performance Group median, and was above the Performance Universe median for all periods. The Board also considered that the fund’s yield performance was below the Performance Group median for eight of the ten one-year periods ended August 31^st and at or above the Performance Universe median for eight of the ten one-year periods ended August 31^st. The Board considered the relative proximity of the fund’s performance to the Performance Group and/or Performance Universe medians during certain periods under review. The Adviser also provided a comparison of the fund’s calendar year total returns to the returns of the fund’s benchmark index, and it was noted that the fund’s returns were above the returns of the index in five of the ten calendar years shown. The Board also noted that the fund had a four-star overall rating from Morningstar and a five-star rating for the ten-year period based on Morningstar’s risk-adjusted return measure.

Management Fee and Expense Ratio Comparisons. The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee rate payable by the fund to the Adviser in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management services and the sub-advisory services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, respectively. In addition, the Board reviewed and considered the actual management fee rate paid by the fund over the fund’s last fiscal year, which included reductions for an expense limitation arrangement in place that reduced the management fee paid to the Adviser. The Board also reviewed the range of actual and contractual management fees and total expenses as a percentage of average net assets of the Expense Group and Expense Universe funds and discussed the results of the comparisons.

The Board considered that the fund’s contractual management fee was lower than the Expense Group median contractual management fee, the fund’s actual management fee was lower than the Expense Group median and lower than the Expense Universe median actual management fee, and the fund’s total expenses were lower than the Expense Group median and lower than the Expense Universe median total expenses.

Representatives of the Adviser stated that the Adviser has contractually agreed, until December 31, 2024 to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the direct expenses of the fund so that the direct expenses of none of the fund’s share classes (excluding Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder services fees, taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, commitment fees on borrowings and extraordinary expenses) exceed .45% of the fund’s average daily net assets.

Representatives of the Adviser reviewed with the Board the management or investment advisory fees paid by funds advised by the Adviser that are in the same Lipper category as the fund (the “Similar Funds”), and explained the nature of the Similar Funds. They discussed differences in fees paid and the relationship of the fees paid in light of any differences in the services provided and other relevant factors. The Board considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Funds to evaluate the appropriateness of the fund’s management fee. Representatives of the Adviser noted that there were no separate accounts and/or other types of client portfolios advised by the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser that are considered to have similar investment strategies and policies as the fund.

The Board considered the fee payable to the Sub-Adviser in relation to the fee payable to the Adviser by the fund and the respective services provided by the Sub-Adviser and the Adviser. The Board also took into consideration that the Sub-Adviser’s fee is paid by the Adviser, out of its fee from the fund, and not the fund.

Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. Representatives of the Adviser reviewed the expenses allocated and profit received by the Adviser and its affiliates and the resulting profitability percentage for managing the fund and the aggregate profitability percentage to the Adviser and its affiliates for managing the funds in the BNY Mellon fund complex, and the method used to determine the expenses and profit. The Board concluded that the profitability results were not excessive, given the services rendered and service levels provided by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the expense limitation arrangement and its effect on the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also had been provided with information prepared by an independent consulting firm regarding the Adviser’s approach to allocating costs to, and determining the profitability of, individual funds and the entire BNY Mellon fund complex. The consulting firm also had analyzed where any economies of scale might emerge in connection with the management of a fund.

The Board considered, on the advice of its counsel, the profitability analysis (1) as part of its evaluation of whether the fees under the Agreements, considered in relation to the mix of services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, including the nature, extent and quality of such services, supported the renewal of the Agreements and (2) in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders. Representatives of the Adviser stated that, as a result of shared and allocated costs among funds in the BNY Mellon fund complex, the extent of economies of scale could depend substantially on the level of assets in the complex as a whole, so that increases and decreases in complex-wide assets can affect

INFORMATION ABOUT THE RENEWAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AND SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

potential economies of scale in a manner that is disproportionate to, or even in the opposite direction from, changes in the fund’s asset level. The Board also considered potential benefits to the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser from acting as investment adviser and sub-investment adviser, respectively, and took into consideration that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect for trading the fund’s investments.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to the renewal of the Agreements. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board concluded and determined as follows.

· The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are adequate and appropriate.

· The Board generally was satisfied with the fund’s relative performance.

· The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser continued to be appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the factors and the totality of the services provided as discussed above.

· The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the management of the fund had been adequately considered by the Adviser in connection with the fee rate charged to the fund pursuant to the Management Agreement and that, to the extent in the future it were determined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.

In evaluating the Agreements, the Board considered these conclusions and determinations and also relied on its previous knowledge, gained through meetings and other interactions with the Adviser and its affiliates and the Sub-Adviser, of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and the services provided to the fund by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Board also relied on information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year relating to the operations of the fund and the investment management and other services provided under the Agreements, including information on the investment performance of the fund in comparison to similar mutual funds and benchmark performance indices; general market outlook as applicable to the fund; and compliance reports. In addition, the Board’s consideration of the contractual fee arrangements for the fund had the benefit of a number of years of reviews of the Agreements for the fund, or substantially similar agreements for other BNY Mellon funds that the Board oversees, during which lengthy discussions took place between the Board and representatives of the Adviser. Certain aspects of the arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and the Board’s conclusions may be based, in part, on its consideration of the fund’s arrangements, or substantially similar arrangements for other BNY Mellon funds that the Board oversees, in prior years. The Board determined to renew the Agreements.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)

For the period from September 1, 2023, through February 29, 2024, as provided by Daniel Barton and Jeffrey Burger, Primary Portfolio Managers of Insight North America LLC, sub-adviser.

Market and Fund Performance Overview

For the six-month period ended February 29, 2024, BNY Mellon High Yield Municipal Bond Fund’s (the “fund”) Class A shares achieved a 6.33% total return, Class C shares returned 5.91%, Class I shares returned 6.46%, Class Y shares returned 6.47% and Class Z shares returned 6.40%.¹ The fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), which, unlike the fund, does not include securities rated below investment grade, produced a total return of 4.33%.²

Municipal bonds posted gains as they continued to benefit from easing inflation and investor anticipation of interest-rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). The fund outperformed the Index mainly due to a relatively long duration, an overweight to higher yielding securities and an overweight to revenue bonds.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund primarily seeks high current income exempt from federal income tax. Secondarily, the fund may seek capital appreciation to the extent consistent with its primary goal. To pursue its goals, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax. The fund normally invests at least 50% of its assets in municipal bonds rated BBB/Baa or lower by independent rating agencies or the unrated equivalent as determined by BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. Municipal bonds rated below investment grade (BB/Ba or lower) are commonly known as “high yield” or “junk” bonds. The fund may invest up to 50% of its assets in higher-quality municipal bonds rated AAA/Aaa to A, or the unrated equivalent as determined by BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc.

We focus on identifying undervalued sectors and securities and minimize the use of interest-rate forecasting. The portfolio managers select municipal bonds for the fund’s portfolio by:

· Using fundamental credit analysis to estimate the relative value and attractiveness of various sectors and securities and to exploit pricing inefficiencies in the municipal bond market.

· Actively trading among various sectors, such as pre-refunded, general obligation and revenue, based on their apparent relative values. The fund seeks to invest in several of these sectors.

Market Benefits from Easing Inflation, Anticipated Rate Cuts and Favorable Technicals

The municipal bond market surged late in 2023 as inflation continued to ease, and investors looked increasingly to anticipated interest-rate reductions by the Fed. This resulted in strong inflows to municipal mutual funds, resulting in favorable technical conditions as demand outpaced supply.

Prior to the reporting period, the Fed’s reiteration of its “higher-for-longer” stance caused some turmoil, but a strong rebound began in mid-October 2023 as investors increasingly felt

that inflation would continue to trend downward, and that the Fed was likely to begin cutting interest rates sometime in 2024. Strong fundamentals among municipal bond issuers added to the market’s appeal, as did attractive yields.

This caused the market to move sideways during the first months of 2024. However, this kept valuations at attractive levels, extending the opportunity for interested investors.

Duration Positioning and Revenue Bonds Bolstered Returns

The fund outperformed the Index during the reporting period, due mostly to its comparatively long duration positioning. The fund’s focus on high yield bonds was also beneficial, as these outperformed the investment grade market. Overweight exposure to certain segments of revenue bonds was a particular benefit. Segments that helped most included hospitals, continuing care and retirement centers, transportation, high yield tobacco and high yield Puerto Rico bonds.

The fund’s performance was hindered by two primary detractors. Investment grade tobacco bonds and investment grade Puerto Rico bonds both detracted somewhat. The fund did not make use of derivatives during the period.

A Sanguine Outlook

We believe that further rate hikes by the Fed are unlikely, and we anticipate that stable or declining rates will provide support to the municipal bond market in 2024. Also, the market’s credit fundamentals remain strong, and valuations continue to be attractive. Technical factors provided support late in 2023, and we believe that will continue in 2024 as supply is likely to remain manageable, and strong flows into mutual funds are likely to continue.

Historically, the municipal bond market has performed well when the Fed has ended a tightening cycle, and an end to tightening remains a likely scenario as 2024 progresses. The presidential election in November 2024 adds some uncertainty to this outlook and is likely to result in issuance earlier in the year than would otherwise be the case. Nevertheless, we will continue to monitor the likely effects of the election and adjust the portfolio as necessary.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (continued)

March 15, 2024

¹ Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. It does not include the maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares, and the applicable contingent deferred sales charge imposed on redemptions in the case of Class C shares. Class I, Class Y and Class Z shares are not subject to any initial or deferred sales charge. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Income may be subject to state and local taxes, and some income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are fully taxable. Return figures provided reflect an undertaking for the absorption of certain fund expenses by BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. through December 29, 2024, at which time it may be extended, terminated or modified. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund’s returns would have been lower.

² Source: Lipper Inc. — The Bloomberg U.S. Municipal Bond Index covers the USD-denominated, long-term, tax-exempt bond market. Investors cannot invest directly in any index.

High yield bonds are subject to increased credit risk and are considered speculative in terms of the issuer’s perceived ability to continue making interest payments on a timely basis and to repay principal upon maturity.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

BNY Mellon High Yield Municipal Bond Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of BNY Mellon Municipal Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering two series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high current income exempt from federal income tax. As a secondary goal, the fund may seek capital appreciation to the extent consistent with its primary goal. BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. Insight North America LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the fund’s sub-adviser.

BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of the fund’s shares. The fund is authorized to issue 600 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock. The fund currently has authorized five classes of shares: Class A (100 million shares authorized), Class C (100 million shares authorized), Class I (150 million shares authorized), Class Y (150 million shares authorized) and Class Z (100 million shares authorized). Class A and Class C shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear Distribution and/or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class A shares generally are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class A shares bought without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $250,000 or more may be charged a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% if redeemed within one year. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after the date of purchase, without the imposition of a sales charge. Class I shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including BNY Mellon and its affiliates), acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or an investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value per share generally to institutional investors, and bear no Distribution or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class Z shares are sold at net asset value per share to certain shareholders of the fund. Class Z shares generally are not available for new accounts and bear Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class I, Class Y and Class Z shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or CDSC. Other differences between the classes include

the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has designated the Adviser as the fund’s valuation designee to make all fair value determinations with respect to the fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.

duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.

For securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of February 29, 2024 in valuing the fund’s investments:


	Level 1-Unadjusted Quoted Prices	Level 2- Other Significant Observable Inputs	Level 3-Significant Unobservable Inputs	Total
Assets ($)
Investments in Securities:^†
Collateralized Municipal-Backed Securities	-	867,728	-	867,728

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies world-wide.

High Yield Securities Risk: High yield (“junk”) securities involve greater credit risk, including the risk of default, than investment grade securities, and are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to make principal and interest payments. These securities are especially sensitive to adverse changes in general economic conditions, to changes in the financial condition of their issuers and to price fluctuation in response to changes in interest rates. During periods of economic downturn or rising interest rates, issuers of below investment grade securities may experience financial stress that could adversely affect their ability to make payments of principal and interest and increase the possibility of default.

(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute

tax-exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

Each tax year in the three-year period ended August 31, 2023 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

The fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Furthermore, capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $31,799,346 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, if any, realized subsequent to August 31, 2023. The fund has $13,401,155 of short-term capital losses and $18,398,191 of long-term capital losses which can be carried forward for an unlimited period.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023 was as follows: tax-exempt income $10,028,024. The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

Facility and the BNYM Credit Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended February 29, 2024, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.

NOTE 3—Management Fee, Sub-Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Adviser, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .45% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. The Adviser has contractually agreed, from September 1, 2023 through December 29, 2024, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the direct expenses of the fund so that the direct expenses of Class A, Class C, Class I, Class Y and Class Z shares of the fund (including Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan fees, Shareholder Services Plan fees, taxes, interest expense, brokerage commissions, commitment fees on borrowings and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed an annual rate of .95%, 1.68%, .68%, .67% and .76%, respectively, of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. On or after December 29, 2024, the Adviser may terminate this expense limitation at any time. During the period ended February 29, 2024, there was no expense reimbursement pursuant to the Agreement.

Pursuant to a sub-investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser a monthly fee at an annual rate of .216% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.

During the period ended February 29, 2024, the Distributor retained $243 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $9,826 and $313 from CDSC fees on redemptions of the fund’s Class A and Class C shares, respectively.

Under the Service Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class Z shares reimburse the Distributor for distributing its shares and servicing shareholder accounts at an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class Z shares.

During the period ended February 29, 2024, Class Z shares were charged $19,392 pursuant to the Service Plan.

The fund compensates the Transfer Agent, under a transfer agency agreement, for providing transfer agency and cash management services for the fund. The majority of Transfer Agent fees are comprised of amounts paid on a per account basis, while cash management fees are related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. During the period ended February 29, 2024, the fund was charged $9,454 for transfer agency services. These fees are included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations. These fees were partially offset by earnings credits of $3,169.

The fund compensates the Custodian, under a custody agreement, for providing custodial services for the fund.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

Inverse Floater Securities: The fund participates in secondary inverse floater structures in which fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds are transferred to a trust (the “Inverse Floater Trust”). The Inverse Floater Trust typically issues two variable rate securities that are collateralized by the cash flows of the fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds. One of these variable rate securities pays interest based on a short-term floating rate set by a remarketing agent at predetermined intervals (“Trust Certificates”). A residual interest tax-exempt security is also created by the Inverse Floater Trust, which is transferred to the fund, and is paid interest based on the remaining cash flows of the Inverse Floater Trust, after payment of interest on the other securities and various expenses of the Inverse Floater Trust. An Inverse Floater Trust may be collapsed without the consent of the fund due to certain termination events such as bankruptcy, default or other credit event.

The fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the Inverse Floater Trust as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the fund’s investments, and the Trust Certificates reflected as fund liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The fund may invest in inverse floater securities on either a non-recourse or recourse basis. These securities are typically supported by a liquidity

facility provided by a bank or other financial institution (the “Liquidity Provider”) that allows the holders of the Trust Certificates to tender their certificates in exchange for payment from the Liquidity Provider of par plus accrued interest on any business day prior to a termination event. When the fund invests in inverse floater securities on a non-recourse basis, the Liquidity Provider is required to make a payment under the liquidity facility due to a termination event to the holders of the Trust Certificates. When this occurs, the Liquidity Provider typically liquidates all or a portion of the municipal securities held in the Inverse Floater Trust. A liquidation shortfall occurs if the Trust Certificates exceed the proceeds of the sale of the bonds in the Inverse Floater Trust (“Liquidation Shortfall”). When a fund invests in inverse floater securities on a recourse basis, the fund typically enters into a reimbursement agreement with the Liquidity Provider where the fund is required to repay the Liquidity Provider the amount of any Liquidation Shortfall. As a result, a fund investing in a recourse inverse floater security bears the risk of loss with respect to any Liquidation Shortfall.

The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the inverse floater structure during the period ended February 29, 2024 was approximately $13,163,022, with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 3.87%.

At February 29, 2024, accumulated net unrealized deppreciation on investments was $21,504,108, consisting of $5,387,243 gross unrealized appreciation and $26,891,351 gross unrealized depreciation.
