PIMCO Municipal Income Fund Reports Results for the Fiscal Quarter and Six Months Ended October 31, 2012

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PIMCO Municipal Income Fund (the "Fund") (NYSE: PMF), a non-diversified closed-end management investment company which seeks to provide current income exempt from federal income tax, today announced its results for the fiscal quarter and six months ended October 31, 2012.

(a) Net assets are inclusive of Preferred Shares of $190 million.

(b) Since the Fund's net earning rates fluctuate from month to month, there will be periods when the Fund may over-earn or under-earn its monthly dividend rate. This fluctuation will have the effect of adding to or subtracting from the Fund's undistributed net investment income balance. Fund management analyzes the current and projected net earning rates prior to recommending dividend amounts to the Fund's Board of Trustees for declaration. There can be no assurance that the monthly dividend rate will remain at its current level or that the undistributed net investment income balance will be sufficient to cover any shortfall in earnings to meet the current dividend rate.

Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC ("AGIFM"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Asset Management of America L.P., serves as the Fund's investment manager and is a member of Munich-based Allianz Group. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, an AGIFM affiliate, serves as the Fund's sub-adviser.
