DWS Municipal Income Trust announced an increase to the Fund?s current monthly distribution rate by approximately 25% from $0.029 to $0.035 per share or approximately a 4.20% annualized distribution rate based on the Fund?s net asset value as of February 26, 2024. This increase is intended to help support secondary market trading in Fund shares and improve the Fund?s discount to net asset value. It is anticipated that to maintain the increased distribution rate, the Fund may ultimately make distributions from sources other than the current net investment income of the Fund, including a return of capital.

The increase in the current distribution rate will be implemented with the Fund?s next monthly dividend scheduled to be announced on or about March 8, 2024.
