MuniMae (NYSE:MMA) announced today that its Board of Directors declared a distribution of $0.5025 per common share payable on August 15, 2006, to shareholders of record as of August 2, 2006. This represents an increase of 4% over the distribution for the comparable period last year. On an annualized basis, the distribution equates to $2.01 per common share and represents a 7.4% yield based on the July 26, 2006 closing price of $27.30 per share. The stated yield does not take into account any higher net return investors may realize as compared with other investments because a portion of the distribution is exempt from Federal income taxes.
