Further information on the composition of the distributions will be made available on the payment date and will be available at www.pioneerinvestments.com. The final determination of tax characteristics of each fund's distributions will occur after the end of the year, at which time it will be reported to shareholders. *T -0- *T Tax-Equivalent Tax-Equivalent Distribution Rate Distribution Rate at Market Price (b) at NAV (b) Pioneer Municipal High Income Trust (NYSE: MHI) 9.49% 9.49% Pioneer Municipal High Income Advantage Trust (NYSE: MAV) 10.15% 10.43% Pioneer Municipal and Equity Income Trust (NYSE: PBF) 16.03% 15.57% (b) Tax-Equivalent Distribution Rate is computed based on the estimated effective tax rate of the fund as of 6/30/2008. *T

Keep in mind, dividends are not guaranteed. Closed end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are bought and sold in the open market through a stock exchange and frequently trade at prices lower than their net asset values. Net Asset Value (NAV) is total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of common shares outstanding. For performance data on Pioneer's closed-end funds, please call 800-225-6292 or visit our closed-end pricing page. (C)2008 Pioneer Investment Management, Inc.
