Company Press Release
New York, May 27, 2009–We are pleased to announce that the final distribution of assets from
the Reserve U.S. Treasury Fund will be on or about May 29, 2009. In preparation for the Fund’s
final reconciliation and distribution, the Fund is suspending all redemptions including checking
and ACH transactions effective the end of business today, May 27, 2009. All redemptions
received in proper form on or prior to the Fund’s closing (2pm ET) May 27, will be honored. Any
checks received by the Fund after that date will not be processed.
ACH transactions received on or prior to May 27 will be honored. If investors have recurring ACH
transactions with the U.S. Treasury Fund applied against their account, they must redirect the
payments from or to a different account, as these transactions will not be processed after May 27. Any ACH Automatic Transfer Plans previously established to transfer funds out of The Reserve will be cancelled as of the close of business on May 27.
Neither the Fund nor its affiliates will be responsible for any penalties or charges resulting
from dishonored checks or from the cancellation and termination of the service

These modifications to the service transactions are being made in order to implement the
reconciliation and liquidation of the U.S. Treasury Fund. Shareholders should direct questions to
their broker or may contact Reserve’s Customer Service at 800-637-1700.
