<P align=center><B><FONT face=serif>PUTNAM ANNOUNCES UPCOMING TENDER OFFER FOR PUTNAM MASTER </FONT></B><BR>
<B><FONT face=serif>INTERMEDIATE INCOME TRUST</FONT></B></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif>BOSTON, Massachusetts (November 16, 2007) -- Putnam Investments and the Board of Trustees of the Putnam Funds announced today that the Trustees have authorized Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust (NYSE: PIM) to conduct a tender offer, to be commenced in the first quarter of 2008, for 15% of the fund&#146;s outstanding shares, with a purchase price set at 99% of the per-share net asset value (NAV) calculated as of the expiration date of the offer. Putnam and the Trustees also announced details of the fund&#146;s upcoming annual shareholder meeting.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif>The Trustees considered that the tender offer would give shareholders an opportunity to sell at least some of their shares at a price close to NAV, and that the tender offer price of 99% of NAV would help offset the costs of the offer that would be borne by remaining shareholders. The tender offer will be subject to the exercise by the Trustees of their fiduciary duties in the event of a material change in circumstances. The Trustees approved the tender offer on the basis of Putnam&#146;s recommendation following discussions between Putnam and a significant shareholder of the fund. </FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif>The fund will hold its annual shareholder meeting at 11:00 a.m. on January 31, 2008 at the offices of the fund. The agenda for the meeting will include the election of nominees for </FONT></P>

<P align=left><FONT face=serif>Trustees of the fund and a required proposal to convert the fund to an open-end investment company, which the Trustees are recommending that shareholders vote against. A proxy statement containing more detailed information about the annual meeting, the fund&#146;s nominees for election as Trustees and the Trustees&#146; recommendations will be mailed to fund shareholders in advance of the annual meeting and filed with the SEC. </FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif>In recommending against the conversion of the fund to an open-end fund, the Trustees considered, among other factors, their belief that the closed-end structure affords the fund and its investors potential investment advantages not available to open-end funds, as well as their authorization of tender offers by the fund. Shareholders of the fund and other Putnam closed-end funds have consistently rejected conversion proposals in recent years by substantial margins.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif>Pursuant to the fund&#146;s Agreement and Declaration of Trust, a conversion proposal is submitted to fund shareholders when the fund&#146;s shares trade at average discounts of 10% or more from net asset value over the last 12 weeks of the fund&#146;s fiscal year. This provision was triggered for the fund&#146;s fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. Approval of a conversion proposal requires the vote of a majority of the fund&#146;s outstanding shares. </FONT></P>
