SUPPLEMENT TO SUMMARY
PROSPECTUS DATED jULY 31, 2012
Beginning on July 31, 2013,
Federated Investment Management Company, the investment adviser to Federated Intermediate Municipal Trust (the “Fund”), may invest the Fund's assets without limitation in investments the interest from
which (while exempt from federal regular income tax) may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations (or the AMT).
Accordingly, under the heading
entitled “
What are the Fund's Main Investment Strategies?
,” please delete the text prior to “
What are the Main Risks of Investing in the Fund?
” in its entirety and replace it with the following:
“The Fund pursues its
objective by investing its assets so that, normally (except as discussed herein), distributions of annual interest income are exempt from federal regular income tax. As described in the Fund's prospectus, income from
certain of the Fund's investments may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations (AMT).
At least 75% of the Fund's
portfolio securities will be investment grade or of comparable quality. Federated Investment Management Company, the Fund's investment adviser (Adviser), expects that normally, up to 15% of the Fund's total assets may
be invested in securities rated below investment grade (or unrated securities of comparable quality), which are also known as junk bonds. The Adviser may opportunistically invest up to 25% of the Fund's total assets
in securities rated below investment grade (or unrated securities of comparable quality), which are also known as junk bonds. Investment-grade securities are securities that receive investment-grade ratings (i.e.,
generally ratings in the first, second, third or fourth highest rating category) by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) or unrated securities of comparable quality. For example, securities
rated “AAA,” “AA,” “A” or “BBB” by Standard & Poor's, an NRSRO, would be rated in the first, second, third or fourth ratings categories, respectively. Securities
rated below investment grade (or noninvestment-grade securities) are securities that do not receive investment-grade ratings (i.e., generally ratings below one of the four highest rating categories) by an NRSRO or
unrated securities of comparable quality. For example, securities rated B or BB by Standard & Poor's, an NRSRO, would be noninvestment-grade securities. The Fund does not have a specific minimum quality rating.
The Fund considers, among other factors, a security's duration (or sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates), credit quality and structural attributes (such as call protection) in seeking to
select securities for the Fund's portfolio that offer, or that are in sectors that offer, enhanced levels of income. The Fund's average weighted maturity is not less than three nor more than ten years.
