Item 1. Report to Stockholders:
The following is a copy of the report transmitted to stockholders pursuant to Rule 30e-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940:
Since 1937, when George Putnam created a prudent mix of stocks and bonds in a single, professionally managed portfolio, we have championed the wisdom of the balanced approach. Today, we offer a world of equity, fixed-income, multi-asset, and absolute-return portfolios so investors can pursue a range of financial goals. Our seasoned portfolio managers seek superior results over time, backed by original, fundamental research on a global scale. We believe in service excellence, in the value of experienced financial advice, and in putting clients first in everything we do.
In 1830, Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Justice Samuel Putnam established The Prudent Man Rule, a legal foundation for responsible money management.
THE PRUDENT MAN RULE
All that can be required of a trustee to invest is that he shall conduct himself faithfully and exercise a sound discretion. He is to observe how men of prudence, discretion, and intelligence manage their own affairs, not in regard to speculation, but in regard to the permanent disposition of their funds, considering the probable income, as well as the probable safety of the capital to be invested.

Message from the Trustees
Dear Fellow Shareholder:
Since the fourth quarter of 2007, investors have endured one of the most difficult downturns in decades, but there now seem to be early signs that the storm clouds may be starting to clear in the stock market. Although this downturn is far from over and we remain cautious, we are encouraged by a number of developments.
Before its climb was interrupted by profit taking in early May, the stock market experienced a two-month run-up from its March lows. Although many analysts agree that the stock market is in the process of bottoming out, they are careful to note that the market is fairly valued today and that it will require positive corporate earnings growth to continue its climb.
The outlook for the fixed-income market is less clear. Hundreds of billions of dollars in economic stimulus spending have increased the U.S. deficit, which may weaken demand for Treasuries. Corporate and municipal debt may fare slightly better.
Under President and CEO Robert L. Reynolds, Putnam Investments has instituted several changes in order to position Putnam mutual funds for a market recovery. In April, Walter C. Donovan, a 25-year investment industry veteran, joined Putnam as Chief Investment Officer. Mr. Donovan will lead a reinvigorated investment organization strengthened by the arrival during the past few months of several well-regarded senior portfolio managers, research analysts, and equity traders.
We also are pleased to announce that Ravi Akhoury has been elected to the Board of Trustees of the Putnam Funds and W. Thomas Stephens has rejoined the Board. From 1992 to 2007, Mr. Akhoury was Chairman and CEO of MacKay Shields, a multi-product investment management firm with over $40 billion in assets under management. He serves as advisor to New York Life Insurance Company, and previously was a member of its Executive Management Committee.
2
Mr. Stephens retired in December 2008 as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Boise Cascade, L.L.C., a paper, forest products, and timberland assets company. He is a Director of TransCanada Pipelines, Ltd., an energy infrastructure company. From 1997 to 2008, Mr. Stephens served on the Board of Trustees of the Putnam Funds. Until 2004, he also was a Director of Xcel Energy Incorporated, Qwest Communications, and Norske Canada, Inc.
An update on the proposed merger of your fund
In early January 2009, Putnam Investments and the Board of Trustees announced that the previously announced merger of Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust (the Fund) into Putnam Tax-Free High Yield Fund, an open-end fund, would be delayed in light of current unsettled market conditions. We would like to take the opportunity of this semiannual report to update Fund shareholders on the status of the merger transaction.
As a result of preferred share remarketing failures that began in February 2008, the Funds preferred shareholders have faced significant liquidity issues, and the Funds common shareholders have been paying preferred shareholders so-called maximum dividend rates required by the terms of the preferred shares. As a result, we have devoted considerable efforts since then to addressing the situation in a manner that takes into account the interests of both common and preferred shareholders.
Our efforts have resulted in several actions to date. In July 2008, we announced the use of tender option bonds as a substitute form of financial leverage that would permit the redemption of 10% of the Funds outstanding preferred shares. In September 2008, we announced a preliminary plan to merge the Fund into the comparable open-end Putnam fund noted above.
3
In approving the proposed merger, the Board of Trustees considered, among other factors, marketplace developments for leveraged closed-end funds, the risks and costs to the Funds common shareholders of maintaining the current preferred share leverage over time, the cost and availability of alternative leverage financing sources for the Fund, the level of discount then prevailing in the trading price of the Funds shares as compared with net asset value, and general conditions in the municipal bond market. A plan of merger was formally approved and announced in October 2008. We noted at the time that completion of the merger would be subject to a number of conditions and other factors and that the expected dates for submission to shareholders and merger completion could be delayed in light of changing market conditions.
Because the open-end fund into which the Fund would merge is not legally permitted to issue preferred shares, the Board of Trustees authorized the Fund to redeem all of its preferred shares through a series of partial redemptions in anticipation of shareholder approval and completion of the merger. In light of unsettled market conditions at the time, the Board granted Putnam Investments discretion with respect to the amount and timing of such redemptions. From November 2008 through January 2009, Putnam Investments carried out preferred share redemptions that significantly reduced the Funds preferred share leverage, though the Fund today remains leveraged in a manner reasonably comparable to its industry peers.
The market events that followed the bankruptcy filing by Lehman Brothers in September 2008 represent the proverbial 100-year flood. Although the Funds portfolio was well positioned to commence preferred share redemptions, liquidity in all major markets declined significantly during this period. As a result, in January 2009 Putnam Investments advised the Board of Trustees that prevailing market conditions made it inadvisable to implement additional redemptions of the preferred shares. In particular, certain credit quality segments (e.g., securities rated BBB and below) of the municipal bond market represented in the Funds portfolio were facing, and continue to face at this time, liquidity challenges.
In recent months, we have continued to monitor prospects for completing the proposed merger in light of evolving market conditions. While liquidity conditions in all markets have generally improved, Putnam Investments has advised the Board of Trustees that prevailing market conditions continue to make it inadvisable to implement the remaining redemptions of the preferred shares. In addition, improved liquidity conditions will be necessary for the open-end funds portfolio managers to be well positioned to respond to potential post-merger redemptions from former Fund common shareholders. At the same time,
4
as a result of recent Federal Reserve actions, which have reduced short-term borrowing costs to historical lows, the current cost of maintaining the Funds preferred share leverage continues to be highly favorable to the common shareholders.
All in all, because of continued liquidity challenges in certain credit quality segments of the municipal bond market, as well as the continuing benefits of preferred share leverage to the Funds common shareholders, Putnam Investments has advised the Trustees that implementation of the merger in the near future would not be in the best interests of the Funds common shareholders. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees has authorized Putnam Investments to suspend further efforts to implement the merger at this time.
We continue to believe that the proposed merger may well represent the best long-term option for the Funds common shareholders, but it is not certain when, or if, conditions may emerge that would make it advisable to renew efforts to complete the merger. We will continue to monitor market conditions in light of the interests of both common and preferred shareholders, and will communicate with the Funds shareholders on a periodic basis regarding these matters.
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome new shareholders to the fund and to thank all of our investors for your continued confidence in Putnam.
About the fund
Potential for income exempt from federal income tax
Municipal bonds finance important public projects such as schools, roads, and hospitals, and they can help investors keep more of the income they receive from their investment. Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust offers an additional advantage the flexibility to invest in municipal bonds issued by any state in the country.
Municipal bonds are typically issued by states and local municipalities to raise funds for building and maintaining public facilities. The income from a municipal bond is generally exempt from federal income tax, and often state and local taxes. The bonds are backed by either the issuing city or town or by revenues collected from usage fees, and have varying degrees of credit risk the risk that the issuer wont be able to repay the bond.
The funds portfolio managers can select bonds from a variety of state and local governments throughout the United States. The fund also combines bonds of differing credit quality. In addition to investing in high-quality bonds, the managers allocate a portion of the portfolio to lower-rated bonds, which may offer higher income in return for more risk.
When deciding whether to invest in a bond, the portfolio managers consider factors such as credit risk, interest-rate risk, and the risk that the bond will be prepaid. The managers are backed by Putnams fixed-income organization, where municipal bond analysts are grouped into sector teams and conduct ongoing research. Once a bond has been purchased, the managers continue to monitor developments that affect the bond market, the sector, and the issuer of the bond. Typically, lower-rated bonds are reviewed more often because of their greater potential risk.
The goal of research and active management is to stay a step ahead of the industry and pinpoint opportunities to adjust the funds holdings either by acquiring more of a particular bond or by selling it for the benefit of the fund and its shareholders.
Capital gains, if any, are taxable for federal and, in most cases, state purposes. For some investors, investment income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Income from federally exempt funds may be subject to state and local taxes. Please consult with your tax advisor for more information.
Mutual funds that invest in bonds are subject to certain risks, including interest-rate risk, credit risk, and inflation risk. As interest rates rise, the prices of bonds fall. Long-term bonds are more exposed to interest-rate risk than short-term bonds. Lower-rated bonds may offer higher yields in return for more risk. Unlike bonds, bond funds have ongoing fees and expenses. The fund uses leverage, which involves risk and may increase the volatility of the funds net asset value. The funds shares trade on a stock exchange at market prices, which may be higher or lower than the funds net asset value.
How do closed-end funds
differ from open-end funds?
More assets at work While open-end funds need to maintain a cash position to meet redemptions, closed-end funds are not subject to redemptions and can keep more of their assets invested in the market.
Traded like stocks Closed-end fund shares are traded on stock exchanges, and their market prices fluctuate in response to supply and demand, among other factors.
Net asset value vs. market price Like an open-end funds net asset value (NAV) per share, the NAV of a closed-end fund share is equal to the current value of the funds assets, minus its liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding. However, when buying or selling closed-end fund shares, the price you pay or receive is the market price. Market price reflects current market supply and demand and may be higher or lower than the NAV.
Municipal bonds may finance a range of community projects
in your community and thus play a key role in its development.

Data is historical. Past performance does not guarantee future results. More recent returns may be less or more than those shown. Investment return and net asset value will fluctuate, and you may have a gain or a loss when you sell your shares. Performance assumes reinvestment of distributions and does not account for taxes. Fund returns in the bar chart are at NAV. See pages 9 and 1314 for additional performance information, including fund returns at market price. Index and Lipper results should be compared to fund performance at NAV. Lipper calculates performance differently than the closed-end funds it ranks due to varying methods for determining a funds monthly reinvestment NAV.

Interview with your
funds Portfolio Manager
Paul Drury
Thank you, Paul, for talking with us today about what has been a challenging six months for the fixed-income markets. How has this volatility affected the municipal bond market?
The final months of 2008 were dominated by continued turmoil in the credit markets. Forced selling by hedge funds and investment banks, which sought to raise capital and cover losses, put pressure on municipal bonds. This created an environment in which all investment-grade asset classes, including municipal bonds, underperformed U.S. Treasuries.
The economy remained weak in the first quarter of 2009, extending the recession that took hold in 2008, as financial markets, though improved from the fourth quarter, remained in disarray. Consumer confidence was feeble, housing prices continued to retreat, and unemployment rose to levels not seen in decades. The U.S. government, notably the Federal Reserve [the Fed] and the Treasury, implemented several wide-ranging measures to restore market stability and investor confidence, joining policy-makers around the globe in efforts to shore up bank balance sheets and reestablish the flow of credit.
That said, high-grade municipal bonds performed well in January and February. Against this backdrop, municipal bonds posted their best quarterly performance since 2004 in the first quarter of 2009. April

marked a continuation of the municipal bond upswing, buoyed by the introduction of Build America Bonds [BABs], a new form of debt that was unveiled as part of the stimulus bill. Aimed at easier, more affordable access to capital for cash-strapped state and local governments, BABs are issued as taxable securities, with local and state governments receiving a 35% subsidy of the interest directly from the Treasury. The new taxable debt issuance by traditionally tax-exempt issuers created concerns about the future of the tax-exempt bond supply, and continued the municipal bond rally into April.
How did Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust perform?
During the period, the fund outperformed its Lipper peer group, High Yield Municipal Debt Funds (closed-end). For the six months ended April 30, 2009, the fund returned 2.27%, while the Lipper group gained 1.73%. Both the fund and Lipper peer group lagged the national benchmark, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index, which returned 8.20%. The benchmark, which includes only investment-grade municipal bonds, benefited from investors overall flight to quality in the municipal bond market during the period.
What technical factors drove municipal bond performance during the period?
The Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, the exit of UBS from the institutional market, and Bank of Americas purchase of Merrill Lynch were the major issues that drove performance.
We saw a temporary lack of primary market supply, as municipal bond issuers delayed new issuance due to market conditions. Because new issues typically help provide price discovery in the marketplace, as dealers delayed pricing new issues, secondary market liquidity was hurt. These issues put downward pressure on municipal bond prices, hurting the asset classs performance further. Spreads widened to unprecedented levels in mid-December before partially

recovering as the primary market reopened and fund flows turned positive.
With all of these these issues taking place, how did you position the portfolio?
The funds overall credit quality was high during the period, and we remained underweight the long end of the curve. This positioning aided relative performance, as the lower-rated issues underperformed their higher-quality peers. In addition, the portfolios overweight to 15- to 25-year maturities aided relative performance.
Any notable contributors and detractors?
Any high-quality, short-maturity bonds benefited as investors sought out quality during the period. As the yield curve steepened and shorter-maturity issues outperformed their longer-maturity counterparts, the funds positions in high-quality, short-maturity bonds outperformed on a relative basis. Bonds with high coupon rates also helped performance. Prerefunded bonds fit this description because they are generally shorter maturities and are almost always backed by either the U.S. Treasury or other government agencies. Many prerefunded bonds also carry higher coupon rates because they are older bonds. Badger Tobacco Settlement bonds is an example of a holding in our fund that fell into this category. Prerefunding means the bond issuer was able to secure enough in Treasury securities to ensure it would redeem the bond issues on their first call date. This action raised the bonds creditworthiness along with the price.
As for holdings that hurt performance, any bond with a long maturity or lower credit quality suffered as the yield curve steepened. Lower-rated instruments were punished as investors fled from perceived risk. An example of such a fund holding is the Internext Group certificate of participation bond. This particular bond is BBB-rated and

was punished for its lower credit quality as investors migrated to higher-quality debt.
What is your outlook for the municipal bond market?
With the announcement of more well-defined government initiatives, including the U.S. Treasurys plan to handle toxic mortgage assets, there are signs that a degree of confidence is returning to the capital markets. Credit investors are becoming more concerned about what they should buy rather than what they should sell. While risks remain, we may be beginning to see a change in investors risk appetite.
Concerns remain about state budgets, the future of bond insurers, and the potential for regulatory changes, though market sentiment has improved due to the strong response to BABs and the emergence of new buyers of state and local debt.
In this environment, we see two notable reasons why municipal bond funds remain particularly attractive. The first is the probability of higher future tax rates, with income tax rates likely to rise when the Bush tax cuts are scheduled to discontinue in 2010. This has the potential to make municipal bonds an even more attractive asset class relative to taxable fixed-income investments. Second, the overall credit quality of the municipal bond asset class is strong. As I mentioned in the last report, we believe that many areas of the municipal bond market have been oversold, creating the chance for us to add bonds with attractive yields to the portfolio.
Thank you, Paul, for your time and insights.
IN THE NEWS
The Obama administration estimates a record $1.84 trillion budget deficit for 2009. The combination of higher government debt and stimulus spending has cooled investors attitudes toward Treasury bonds, whose prices have fallen more than 20% since the start of 2009, despite their safe-haven status. Historically, Treasury bonds have been among the investments most vulnerable to fears of rising inflation, which can result from increased government spending. Massive government stimulus often leads to higher prices for consumer goods because the Federal Reserve, in effect, prints more money to pay for the additional spending. This, in turn, can diminish the purchasing power of the dollar. Higher interest rates will push down Treasury prices because when interest rates rise, bond prices fall, and vice versa.
The views expressed in this report are exclusively those of Putnam Management. They are not meant as investment advice.
Please note that the holdings discussed in this report may not have been held by the fund for the entire period. Portfolio composition is subject to review in accordance with the funds investment strategy and may vary in the future. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk.

Trustee approval of management contract
General conclusions
The Board of Trustees of the Putnam funds oversees the management of each fund and, as required by law, determines annually whether to approve the continuance of your funds management contract with Putnam Investment Management (Putnam Management). In this regard, the Board of Trustees, with the assistance of its Contract Committee consisting solely of Trustees who are not interested persons (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Putnam funds (the Independent Trustees), requests and evaluates all information it deems reasonably necessary under the circumstances. Over the course of several months ending in June 2008, the Contract Committee met several times to consider the information provided by Putnam Management and other information developed with the assistance of the Boards independent counsel and independent staff. The Contract Committee reviewed and discussed key aspects of this information with all of the Independent Trustees. The Contract Committee recommended, and the Independent Trustees approved, the continuance of your funds management contract, effective July 1, 2008.
The Independent Trustees approval was based on the following conclusions:
That the fee schedule in effect for your fund represented reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services being provided to the fund, the fees paid by competitive funds and the costs incurred by Putnam Management in providing such services, and
That this fee schedule represented an appropriate sharing between fund shareholders and Putnam Management of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the fund at current asset levels.
These conclusions were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees, were subject to the continued application of certain expense reductions and waivers and other considerations noted below, and were not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees deliberations and how the Trustees considered these factors are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently, giving different weights to various factors. It is also important to recognize that the fee arrangements for your fund and the other Putnam funds are the result of many years of review and discussion between the Independent Trustees and Putnam Management, that certain aspects of such arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than others, and that the Trustees conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of these same arrangements in prior years.
Management fee schedules and
categories; total expenses
The Trustees reviewed the management fee schedules in effect for all Putnam funds, including fee levels and breakpoints, and the assignment of funds to particular fee categories. In reviewing fees and expenses, the Trustees generally focused their attention on material changes in circumstances for example, changes in a funds size or investment style, changes in Putnam Managements operating costs or responsibilities, or changes in competitive practices in the mutual fund industry that suggest that consideration of fee changes might be warranted. The Trustees concluded that the circumstances did not warrant changes to the management fee structure of your fund, which had been carefully developed over the years, re-examined on many occasions and

adjusted where appropriate. In this regard, the Trustees also noted that shareholders of your fund voted in 2007 to approve new management contracts containing an identical fee structure. The Trustees focused on two areas of particular interest, as discussed further below:
Competitiveness. The Trustees reviewed comparative fee and expense information for competitive funds, which indicated that, in a custom peer group of competitive funds selected by Lipper Inc., your fund ranked in the 25th percentile in management fees and in the 25th percentile in total expenses as of December 31, 2007 (the first percentile being the least expensive funds and the 100th percentile being the most expensive funds). The Trustees expressed their intention to monitor this information closely to ensure that fees and expenses of your fund continue to meet evolving competitive standards.
Economies of scale. The Trustees considered that most Putnam funds currently have the benefit of breakpoints in their management fees that provide shareholders with significant economies of scale, which means that the effective management fee rate of a fund (as a percentage of fund assets) declines as a fund grows in size and crosses specified asset thresholds. Conversely, as a fund shrinks in size as has been the case for many Putnam funds in recent years these breakpoints result in increasing fee levels. In recent years, the Trustees have examined the operation of the existing breakpoint structure during periods of both growth and decline in asset levels. The Trustees concluded that the fee schedules in effect for the funds represented an appropriate sharing of economies of scale at current asset levels.
In connection with their review of the management fees and total expenses of the Putnam funds, the Trustees also reviewed the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by Putnam Management and its affiliates from the relationship with the funds. This information included trends in revenues, expenses and profitability of Putnam Management and its affiliates relating to the investment management and distribution services provided to the funds. In this regard, the Trustees also reviewed an analysis of Putnam Managements revenues, expenses and profitability with respect to the funds management contracts, allocated on a fund-by-fund basis.
Investment performance
The quality of the investment process provided by Putnam Management represented a major factor in the Trustees evaluation of the quality of services provided by Putnam Management under your funds management contract. The Trustees were assisted in their review of the Putnam funds investment process and performance by the work of the Investment Oversight Coordinating Committee of the Trustees and the Investment Oversight Committees of the Trustees, which had met on a regular monthly basis with the funds portfolio teams throughout the year. The Trustees concluded that Putnam Management generally provides a high-quality investment process as measured by the experience and skills of the individuals assigned to the management of fund portfolios, the resources made available to such personnel, and in general the ability of Putnam Management to attract and retain high-quality personnel but also recognized that this does not guarantee favorable investment results for every fund in every time period. The Trustees considered the investment performance of each fund over multiple time periods and considered information comparing each funds performance with various benchmarks and with the performance of competitive funds.
While the Trustees noted the satisfactory investment performance of certain Putnam funds, they considered the disappointing investment
18
performance of many funds in recent periods, particularly over periods in 2007 and 2008. They discussed with senior management of Putnam Management the factors contributing to such underperformance and actions being taken to improve performance. The Trustees recognized that, in recent years, Putnam Management has taken steps to strengthen its investment personnel and processes to address areas of underperformance, including recent efforts to further centralize Putnam Managements equity research function. In this regard, the Trustees took into consideration efforts by Putnam Management to improve its ability to assess and mitigate investment risk in individual funds, across asset classes, and across the complex as a whole. The Trustees indicated their intention to continue to monitor performance trends to assess the effectiveness of these efforts and to evaluate whether additional changes to address areas of underperformance are warranted.
In the case of your fund, the Trustees considered that your funds common share cumulative total return performance at net asset value was in the following percentiles of its Lipper Inc. peer group (Lipper High Yield Municipal Debt Funds (closed-end)) (compared using tax-adjusted performance to recognize the different federal income tax treatment for capital gains distributions and exempt-interest distributions) for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods ended December 31, 2007 (the first percentile being the best-performing funds and the 100th percentile being the worst-performing funds):
One-year period | 50th | ||
|
|||
Three-year period | 87th | ||
|
|||
Five-year period | 76th | ||
|
(Because of the passage of time, these performance results may differ from the performance results for more recent periods shown elsewhere in this report.) Over the one-year, three-year and five-year periods ended December 31, 2007, there were 15, 15, and 12 funds, respectively, in your funds Lipper peer group.* Past performance is no guarantee of future returns.
The Trustees noted the disappointing performance for your fund for the three-year and five-year periods ended December 31, 2007. In this regard, the Trustees considered Putnam Managements belief that one factor in the funds relative underperformance during these periods was its selection of higher-quality bonds during these periods, when lower-quality bonds had strong relative performance. The Trustees also considered that Putnam Management continues to believe that the funds investment strategy and process are designed to produce attractive relative performance over longer periods, and the funds performance for the one-year period has rebounded.
As a general matter, the Trustees believe that cooperative efforts between the Trustees and Putnam Management represent the most effective way to address investment performance problems. The Trustees noted that investors in the Putnam funds have, in effect, placed their trust in the Putnam organization, under the oversight of the funds Trustees, to make appropriate decisions regarding the management of the funds. Based on the responsiveness of Putnam Management in the recent past to Trustee concerns about investment performance, the Trustees
* The percentile rankings for your funds common share annualized total return performance in the Lipper High Yield Municipal Debt Funds (closed-end) category for the one-year, five-year, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2009, were 32%, 60%, and 75%, respectively. Over the one-year, five-year, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2009, your fund ranked 5th out of 15, 9th out of 14, and 9th out of 11 funds, respectively. Unlike the information above, these rankings reflect performance before taxes. Note that this more recent information was not available when the Trustees approved the continuance of your funds management contract.
19
concluded that it is preferable to seek change within Putnam Management to address performance shortcomings. In the Trustees view, the alternative of engaging a new investment adviser for an underperforming fund would entail significant disruptions and would not provide any greater assurance of improved investment performance.
Brokerage and soft-dollar allocations;
other benefits
The Trustees considered various potential benefits that Putnam Management may receive in connection with the services it provides under the management contract with your fund. These include benefits related to brokerage and soft-dollar allocations, whereby a portion of the commissions paid by a fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research services that may be useful to Putnam Management in managing the assets of the fund and of other clients. The Trustees considered changes made in 2008, at Putnam Managements request, to the Putnam funds brokerage allocation policy, which expanded the permitted categories of brokerage and research services payable with soft dollars and increased the permitted soft dollar allocation to third-party services over what had been authorized in previous years. The Trustees indicated their continued intent to monitor the potential benefits associated with the allocation of fund brokerage and trends in industry practice to ensure that the principle of seeking best price and execution remains paramount in the portfolio trading process.
The Trustees annual review of your funds management contract arrangements also included the review of your funds investor servicing agreement with Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company (PFTC), which provides benefits to affiliates of Putnam Management. In the case of the investor servicing agreement, the Trustees considered that certain shareholder servicing functions were shifted to a third-party service provider by PFTC in 2007.
Comparison of retail and institutional
fee schedules
The information examined by the Trustees as part of their annual contract review has included for many years information regarding fees charged by Putnam Management and its affiliates to institutional clients such as defined benefit pension plans, college endowments, etc. This information included comparisons of such fees with fees charged to the funds, as well as a detailed assessment of the differences in the services provided to these two types of clients. The Trustees observed, in this regard, that the differences in fee rates between institutional clients and mutual funds are by no means uniform when examined by individual asset sectors, suggesting that differences in the pricing of investment management services to these types of clients reflect to a substantial degree historical competitive forces operating in separate market places. The Trustees considered the fact that fee rates across different asset classes are typically higher on average for mutual funds than for institutional clients, as well as the differences between the services that Putnam Management provides to the Putnam funds and those that it provides to institutional clients of the firm, but did not rely on such comparisons to any significant extent in concluding that the management fees paid by your fund are reasonable.

Financial statements
A guide to financial statements
These sections of the report, as well as the accompanying Notes, constitute the funds financial statements.
The funds portfolio lists all the funds investments and their values as of the last day of the reporting period. Holdings are organized by asset type and industry sector, country, or state to show areas of concentration and diversification.
Statement of assets and liabilities shows how the funds net assets and share price are determined. All investment and noninvestment assets are added together. Any unpaid expenses and other liabilities are subtracted from this total. The result is divided by the number of shares to determine the net asset value per share. (For funds with preferred shares, the amount subtracted from total assets includes the liquidation preference of preferred shares.)
Statement of operations shows the funds net investment gain or loss. This is done by first adding up all the funds earnings from dividends and interest income and subtracting its operating expenses to determine net investment income (or loss). Then, any net gain or loss the fund realized on the sales of its holdings as well as any unrealized gains or losses over the period is added to or subtracted from the net investment result to determine the funds net gain or loss for the fiscal period.
Statement of changes in net assets shows how the funds net assets were affected by the funds net investment gain or loss, by distributions to shareholders, and by changes in the number of the funds shares. It lists distributions and their sources (net investment income or realized capital gains) over the current reporting period and the most recent fiscal year-end. The distributions listed here may not match the sources listed in the Statement of operations because the distributions are determined on a tax basis and may be paid in a different period from the one in which they were earned. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. Actual results may vary. Any non-taxable return of capital cannot be determined until final tax calculations are completed after the end of the funds fiscal year.
Financial highlights provide an overview of the funds investment results, per-share distributions, expense ratios, net investment income ratios, and portfolio turnover in one summary table, reflecting the five most recent reporting periods. In a semiannual report, the highlight table also includes the current reporting period.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ( SFAS 157 ). SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have a material effect on the funds net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of the funds investments. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the funds net assets as of April 30, 2009:
Valuation inputs | Investments in securities | Other financial instruments |
| ||
Level 1 | $1,928 | $47,182 |
| ||
Level 2 | 480,310,417 | |
| ||
Level 3 | | |

Total | $480,312,345 | $47,182 |
Other financial instruments include futures contracts which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on the instrument.

Notes to financial statements 4/30/09 (Unaudited)
Note 1: Significant accounting policies
Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust (the fund), a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The funds investment objective is to seek a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax. The fund intends to achieve its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of tax-exempt municipal securities which Putnam Investment Management, LLC (Putnam Management), the funds manager, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam Investments, LLC, believes does not involve undue risk to income or principal. Up to 60% of the funds assets may consist of high-yield tax-exempt municipal securities that are below investment grade and involve special risk considerations. The fund also uses leverage by issuing preferred shares in an effort to increase the income to the common shares.
In the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that may include agreements to indemnify another party under given circumstances. The funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be, but have not yet been, made against the fund. However, the funds management team expects the risk of material loss to be remote.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A) Security valuation: Tax-exempt bonds and notes are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. Such services use information with respect to transactions in bonds, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between securities in determining value. Certain investments, including certain restricted and illiquid securities and derivatives are also valued at fair value following procedures approved by the Trustees. Such valuations and procedures are reviewed periodically by the Trustees. The fair value of securities is generally determined as the amount that the fund could reasonably expect to realize from an orderly disposition of such securities over a reasonable period of time. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the value of a security at a given point in time and does not reflect an actual market price, which may be different by a material amount.
B) Security transactions and related investment income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Gains or losses on securities sold are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All premiums/discounts are amortized/ accreted on a yield-to-maturity basis. The premium in excess of the call price, if any, is amortized to the call date; thereafter, any remaining premium is amortized to maturity.
C) Futures and options contracts: The fund may use futures and options contracts to hedge against changes in the values of securities the fund owns, owned or expects to purchase, or for other investment purposes. The fund may also write options on swaps or securities it owns or in which it may invest to increase its current returns.
The potential risk to the fund is that the change in value of futures and options contracts may not correspond to the change in value of the hedged instruments. In addition, losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, interest or exchange rates moving unexpectedly or if the counterparty to the contract is unable to perform. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on investment securities. If a written call option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as an addition to sales proceeds. If a written put option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as a reduction to the cost of investments.
Futures contracts are valued at the quoted daily settlement prices established by the exchange on which they trade. The fund and the broker agree to exchange an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the futures contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin. Exchange traded options are valued at the last sale price or, if no sales are reported, the last bid price for purchased options and the last ask price for written options. Options traded over-the-counter are valued using prices supplied by dealers. Futures and written option
47
contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after the funds portfolio.
D) Tender option bond transactions: The fund may participate in transactions whereby a fixed-rate bond is transferred to a tender option bond trust (TOB trust) sponsored by a broker. The TOB trust funds the purchase of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating-rate bonds to third parties and allowing the fund to retain the residual interest in the TOB trusts assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate bonds. The inverse floating rate bonds held by the fund give the fund the right to (1) cause the holders of the floating rate bonds to tender their notes at par, and (2) to have the fixed-rate bond held by the TOB trust transferred to the fund, causing the TOB trust to collapse. The fund accounts for the transfer of the fixed-rate bond to the TOB trust as a secured borrowing by including the fixed-rate bond in the funds portfolio and including the floating rate bond as a liability in the Statement of assets and liabilities. At April 30, 2009, the funds investments with a value of $30,548,633 were held by the TOB trust and served as collateral for $15,001,333 in floating-rate bonds outstanding. During the period ended April 30, 2009, the fund incurred interest expense of $87,618 for these investments based on an average interest rate of 1.16%.
E) Federal taxes: It is the policy of the fund to distribute all of its income within the prescribed time and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), applicable to regulated investment companies. It is also the intention of the fund to distribute an amount sufficient to avoid imposition of any excise tax under Section 4982 of the Code. The fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. No provision has been made for federal taxes on income, capital gains or unrealized appreciation on securities held nor for excise tax on income and capital gains. Each of the funds federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
At October 31, 2008, the fund had a capital loss carryover of $73,799,429 available to the extent allowed by the Code to offset future net capital gain, if any. The amounts of the carryovers and the expiration dates are:

As a result of the February 15, 2008 merger of Putnam High Yield Municipal Trust into the fund, the fund acquired $21,435,672 in capital loss carryovers of which $19,692,721 remain and are subject to limitations imposed by the Code. The acquired capital loss carryover and the expiration dates are:

The aggregate identified cost on a tax basis is $560,341,700, resulting in gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of $9,794,717 and $89,824,072, respectively, or net unrealized depreciation of $80,029,355.
F) Distributions to shareholders: Distributions to common and preferred shareholders from net investment income are recorded by the fund on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. Dividends on remarketed preferred shares become payable when, as and if declared by the Trustees. Each dividend period for the remarketed preferred shares is generally a 28 day period for Series A shares and a 7 day period for Series C shares. The applicable dividend rate for the remarketed preferred shares on April 30, 2009 was 0.33 % for Series A and 0.33% for Series C.
From February 2008 through April 30, 2009, the fund has experienced unsuccessful remarketings of its remarketed preferred shares. As a result, the dividends paid on the remarketed preferred shares has been at the maximum dividend rate, pursuant to the funds by-laws, which, based on the current credit quality of
48
remarketed preferred shares, equals 110% of the 60-day AA composite commercial paper rate.
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. Actual results may vary. Any non-taxable return of capital cannot be determined until final tax calculations are completed after the end of the funds fiscal year. Reclassifications are made to the funds capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations.
G) Determination of net asset value: Net asset value of the common shares is determined by dividing the value of all assets of the fund, less all liabilities and the liquidation preference of any outstanding remarketed preferred shares, by the total number of common shares outstanding as of period end.
Note 2: Management fee, administrative
services and other transactions
The fund pays Putnam Management for management and investment advisory services quarterly based on the average net assets of the fund, including assets attributable to preferred shares. Such fee is based on the lesser of (i) an annual rate of 0.55% of the average weekly net assets attributable to common and preferred shares outstanding or (ii) the following annual rates expressed as a percentage of the funds average weekly net assets attributable to common and preferred shares outstanding: 0.65% of the first $500 million and 0.55% of the next $500 million, with additional breakpoints at higher asset levels.
If dividends payable on remarketed preferred shares during any dividend payment period plus any expenses attributable to remarketed preferred shares for that period exceed the funds gross income attributable to the proceeds of the remarketed preferred shares during that period, then the fee payable to Putnam Management for that period will be reduced by the amount of the excess (but not more than the effective management and administrative service fees rate under the contracts multiplied by the liquidation preference of the remarketed preferred shares outstanding during the period).
The fund reimburses Putnam Management an allocated amount for the compensation and related expenses of certain officers of the fund and their staff who provide administrative services to the fund. The aggregate amount of all such reimbursements is determined annually by the Trustees.
Custodial functions for the funds assets are provided by State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street). Custody fees are based on the funds asset level, the number of its security holdings and transaction volumes.
Putnam Investor Services, a division of Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company (PFTC), which is an affiliate of Putnam Management, provided investor servicing agent functions to the fund. Putnam Investor Services was paid a monthly fee for investor servicing at an annual rate of 0.05% of the funds average net assets. The amounts incurred for investor servicing agent functions provided by PFTC during the six months ended April 30, 2009 are included in Investor servicing fees in the Statement of operations.
The fund has entered into expense offset arrangements with PFTC and State Street whereby PFTCs and State Streets fees are reduced by credits allowed on cash balances. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, the funds expenses were reduced by $6,154 under the expense offset arrangements.
Each independent Trustee of the fund receives an annual Trustee fee, of which $431, as a quarterly retainer, has been allocated to the fund, and an additional fee for each Trustees meeting attended. Trustees receive additional fees for attendance at certain committee meetings and industry seminars and for certain compliance-related matters. Trustees also are reimbursed for expenses they incur relating to their services as Trustees.
The fund has adopted a Trustee Fee Deferral Plan (the Deferral Plan) which allows the Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of Trustees fees payable on or after July 1, 1995. The deferred fees remain invested in certain Putnam funds until distribution in accordance with the Deferral Plan.
The fund has adopted an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the Pension Plan) covering all Trustees of the fund who have served as a Trustee for at least five years and were first elected prior to 2004. Benefits under the Pension Plan are equal to 50% of the Trustees average annual attendance and retainer fees for the three years ended December 31, 2005. The retirement benefit is payable during a Trustees lifetime, beginning the year following retirement, for the number of years of service through December 31, 2006. Pension expense for the fund is included in Trustee compensation and expenses in the Statement of operations. Accrued pension liability is included in Payable for Trustee compensation and expenses in the Statement of assets and liabilities. The Trustees have terminated the Pension Plan with respect to any Trustee first elected after 2003.

Note 3: Purchases and sales of securities
During the six months ended April 30, 2009, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities other than short-term investments aggregated $25,940,929 and $91,045,125, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. government securities.
Note 4: Preferred shares
On February 19, 2008, Putnam High Yield Municipal Trust merged with and into the fund. A related two-for-one stock split of Series C remarketed preferred shares of Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust reduced the liquidation preference of these shares from $100,000 to $50,000 per share. The stock split was necessary to accommodate the different per-share liquidation preferences of preferred shares of the merging series, and did not affect the aggregate liquidation preference of preferred shares held by any shareholder.
The Series A (245), and Series C (1,980) Remarketed Preferred shares are redeemable at the option of the fund on any dividend payment date at a redemption price of $100,000 per share for Series A, and at $50,000 per share for Series C, plus an amount equal to any dividends accumulated on a daily basis but unpaid through the redemption date (whether or not such dividends have been declared) and, in certain circumstances, a call premium.
In August and September 2008, the fund redeemed 55 Series A, 55 Series B and 220 Series C Remarketed Preferred shares. The redemption price was equal to the liquidation preference per share ($100,000 for Series A and B: $50,000 Series C) of each series of preferred shares, plus accumulated but unpaid dividends as of the following redemption dates: September 3, 2008 for Series A, September 17, 2008 for Series B and August 20, 2008 for Series C Remarketed Preferred shares. The August and September 2008 preferred share redemptions represented 10% of the funds $220,000,000 in outstanding preferred shares.
On December 10, 2008 the fund redeemed the remaining 495 Series B Remarketed Preferred shares; this redemption represented approximately 25% of the funds $198,000,000 in outstanding preferred shares.
On January 21, 2009 the fund redeemed an additional 250 Series A Remarketed Preferred shares; this redemption represented approximately 17% of the funds $148,500,000 in outstanding preferred shares.
It is anticipated that dividends paid to holders of remarketed preferred shares will be considered tax-exempt dividends under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. To the extent that the fund earns taxable income and capital gains by the conclusion of a fiscal year, it may be required to apportion to the holders of the remarketed preferred shares throughout that year additional dividends as necessary to result in an after-tax equivalent to the applicable dividend rate for the period.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the fund is required to maintain asset coverage of at least 200% with respect to the remarketed preferred shares. Additionally, the funds bylaws impose more stringent asset coverage requirements and restrictions relating to the rating of the remarketed preferred shares by the shares rating agencies. Should these requirements not be met, or should dividends accrued on the remarketed preferred shares not be paid, the fund may be restricted in its ability to declare dividends to common shareholders or may be required to redeem certain of the remarketed preferred shares. At October 31, 2008, no such restrictions have been placed on the fund.
Note 5: Share repurchase program
In September 2008, the Trustees approved the renewal of the repurchase program to allow the fund to repurchase up to 10% of its outstanding common shares over the 12 month period ending October 7, 2009 (based on shares outstanding as of October 7, 2008). Prior to this renewal, the Trustees had approved a repurchase program to allow the fund to repurchase up to 10% of its outstanding common shares over the 12 month period ending October 7, 2008 (based on shares outstanding as of October 5, 2007). Repurchases are made when the funds shares are trading at less than net asset value and in accordance with procedures approved by the funds Trustees.
For the six months ended April 30, 2009, the fund has not repurchased any common shares.
Note 6: Acquisition of Putnam High Yield
Municipal Trust
On February 19, 2008, the fund issued 18,007,034 common shares, in exchange for common shares of Putnam High Yield Municipal Trust to acquire that funds net assets in a tax-free exchange approved by the shareholders. The common net assets of the fund and Putnam High Yield Municipal Trust on February 15, 2008, were $310,693,597 and $141,608,656 respectively. On February 15, 2008, Putnam High Yield Municipal Trust had distributions in excess of net investment income of $181,134, accumulated net realized loss of $24,733,409 and unrealized appreciation of $3,004,507. The aggregate common net assets of the fund immediately following the acquisition were $452,302,253.
On February 19, 2008, the fund also issued 900 Series C remarketed preferred shares in exchange for
50
900 Series A remarketed preferred shares of Putnam High Yield Municipal Trust. The liquidation preference of these shares was $45,000,000.
Information presented in the Statement of changes in net assets reflects only the operations of Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust.
Note 7: Regulatory matters and litigation
In late 2003 and 2004, Putnam Management settled charges brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and the Massachusetts Securities Division in connection with excessive short-term trading in Putnam funds. Distribution of payments from Putnam Management to certain open-end Putnam funds and their shareholders is expected to be completed in the next several months. These allegations and related matters have served as the general basis for certain lawsuits, including purported class action lawsuits against Putnam Management and, in a limited number of cases, some Putnam funds. Putnam Management believes that these lawsuits will have no material adverse effect on the funds or on Putnam Managements ability to provide investment management services. In addition, Putnam Management has agreed to bear any costs incurred by the Putnam funds as a result of these matters.
Note 8: New accounting pronouncements
In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161) an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, was issued and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments and how derivative instruments affect an entitys financial position. Putnam Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the funds financial statement disclosures.
In April 2009, FASB issued a new FASB Staff Position FSP FAS 157-4 which amends FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability measured at fair value has significantly decreased. Additionally, FSP FAS 157-4 expands disclosure by reporting entities with respect to categories of assets and liabilities carried at fair value. Putnam Management believes applying the provisions of FSP FAS 157-4 will not have a material impact on the funds financial statements.
Note 9: Actions by Trustees
In September and October 2008, the Board of Trustees approved a plan to merge the fund into Putnam Tax-Free High Yield Fund, an open-end fund, subject to a number of conditions including shareholder approval. In June 2009, following significant changes in market conditions, the Trustees authorized Putnam Investments to suspend further efforts to implement the merger. The Trustees and Putnam Investments announced that it is not certain when, or if, conditions may emerge that would make it advisable to renew efforts to complete the merger.
Note 10: Market conditions
In the normal course of business, the fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the contracting party to the transaction to perform (credit risk). The fund may be exposed to additional credit risk that an institution or other entity with which the fund has unsettled or open transactions will default.

Dollar cost averaging When youre investing for long-term goals, its time, not timing, that counts. Investing on a systematic basis is a better strategy than trying to figure out when the markets will go up or down. This means investing the same amount of money regularly over a long period. This method of investing is called dollar cost averaging. When a funds share price declines, your investment dollars buy more shares at lower prices. When it increases, they buy fewer shares. Over time, you will pay a lower average price per share.
