Dear DWS Municipal Income Trust Shareholder:

In order to comply with the requirements of Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 in regard to the distribution on the Fund's common shares of $0.0610 per share declared 4/8/2024 and payable 4/30/2024 to shareholders of record on 4/19/2024, the Fund estimates that approximately $0.0323 and $0.0287 per common share of such distribution represents net investment income and return of capital, respectively. Such source designations and amounts are estimates only and are not provided for tax purposes. The final determination of the sources and tax characteristics of all distributions will be made after the end of the Fund's fiscal year. Shareholders will receive a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year, which will describe how to report distributions for tax purposes. A return of capital is not reflective of the Fund's investment performance.

Important Information

Bond investments are subject to interest-rate, credit, liquidity and market risks to varying degrees. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Municipal securities are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions or the bankruptcy of the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer's ability to make payments of principal and/or interest. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds, and there may be less information available on the financial condition of issuers of municipal securities than for public corporations. Investing in derivatives entails special risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Leverage results in additional risks and can magnify the effect of any gains or losses. Although the Fund seeks income that is exempt from federal income taxes, a portion of the Fund's distributions may be subject to federal, state and local taxes, including the alternative minimum tax.

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. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to the net asset value. The price of a closed-end fund's shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the fund. Therefore, the fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset value.

War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises and related geopolitical events have led, and, in the future, may lead to significant disruptions in US and world economies and markets, which may lead to increased market volatility and may have significant adverse effects on the Fund and its investments.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
