Investment Objective and Policy

MassMutual Corporate Investors (the “Trust”) is a closed-end management investment company, first offered to the public in 1971, whose shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “MCI”. The Trust’s share price can be found in the financial section of most newspapers as “MassCp” or “MassMuInv” under either the New York Stock Exchange listings or Closed-End Fund Listings.

The Trust’s investment objective is to maintain a portfolio of securities providing a fixed yield and at the same time offering an opportunity for capital gains. The Trust’s principal investments are privately placed, below-investment grade, long-term debt obligations with equity features such as common stock, warrants, conversion rights, or other equity features and, occasionally, preferred stocks. The Trust typically purchases these investments, which are not publicly tradable, directly from their issuers in private placement transactions. These investments are typically mezzanine debt instruments with accompanying private equity securities made to small or middle market companies. In addition, the Trust may temporarily invest, subject to certain limitations, in marketable investment grade debt securities, other marketable debt securities (including high yield securities) and marketable common stocks. Below-investment grade or high yield securities have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the capacity of the issuer to pay interest and repay principal.

Babson Capital Management LLC (“Babson Capital”) manages the Trust on a total return basis. The Trust distributes substantially all of its net income to shareholders each year. Accordingly, the Trust pays dividends to shareholders in January, May, August, and November. The Trust pays dividends to its shareholders in cash, unless the shareholder elects to participate in the Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan.
 
Form N-Q

The Trust files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q.

A description of Babson Capital’s proxy voting policies and procedures is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling, toll-free 866-399-1516; (2) on the Trust’s website: http://www.babsoncapital.com/mci; and (3) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
MassMutual Corporate Investors
 
July 31, 2011

We are pleased to present the June 30, 2011 Quarterly Report of MassMutual Corporate Investors (the “Trust”).

The Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend of 30 cents per share, payable on August 12, 2011 to shareholders of record on August 1, 2011. The Trust paid a 30 cent per share dividend for the preceding quarter. The Trust earned 37 cents per share of net investment income for the second quarter of 2011, of which approximately 7 cents per share represented income due to nonrecurring items, compared to 34 cents per share in the previous quarter, of which approximately 4 cents per share represented income due to nonrecurring items.

During the second quarter, the net assets of the Trust increased to $251,617,177 or $13.25 per share compared to $247,002,115 or $13.03 per share on March 31, 2011. This translates into a 4.1% total return for the quarter, based on the change in the Trust’s net assets assuming the reinvestment of all dividends. Longer term, the Trust returned 20.4%, 9.4%, 8.8%, 12.4%, and 13.2% for the 1-, 3-, 5-, 10-, and 25-year time periods, respectively, based on the change in the Trust’s net assets assuming the reinvestment of all dividends.

The Trust’s share price decreased 0.2% during the quarter, from $16.21 per share as of March 31, 2011 to $16.17 per share as of June 30, 2011. The Trust’s market price of $16.17 per share equates to a 22.0% premium over the June 30, 2011 net asset value per share of $13.25. The Trust’s average quarter-end premium for the 3, 5 and 10-year periods was 7.7%, 10.7% and 9.6%, respectively. U.S. equity markets, as approximated by the Russell 2000 Index, decreased 1.6% for the quarter. U.S. fixed income markets, as approximated by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index, increased 1.1% for the quarter.

The Trust closed three add-on investments during the second quarter. The three add-on investments were in KNB Holdings Corporation, NetShape Technologies, Inc. and NT Holding Company. A brief description of these investments can be found in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. The total amount invested by the Trust in these three transactions was $838,750.

Middle market buyout activity continued at a lackluster pace in the second quarter of 2011. In fact, activity levels in the second quarter were even lower than they were in the first quarter of the year. A real supply/demand imbalance has developed in the market – there is a shortage of quality deal flow, but there is an abundance of equity capital and senior and mezzanine debt looking to be invested. Not surprisingly, the result is that most quality middle market companies being offered for sale are being pursued aggressively at high prices. Many senior and mezzanine debt providers are offering higher leverage and lower pricing levels to finance these higher-priced companies. To us, it seems like the market has once again become overheated. While we are disappointed with the current level of deal flow available to the Trust, we will not compromise our underwriting standards and stray from the investment philosophy that has served us well for so many years just to put new investments into the portfolio. We are hopeful that deal flow will pick up during the remainder of the year and bring the supply/demand imbalance back into line, which should result in increased investment opportunities for the Trust.

Most of our portfolio companies reported improved operating results in the second quarter of 2011, and several more of our companies were able to resume paying cash interest on their debt obligations due to their improved financial results and liquidity positions. We are pleased with the continued improving quality of the portfolio. Realization activity for the Trust was strong in the second quarter as we had four companies sold. Directed Electronics, Inc., Justrite Manufacturing Acquisition Company, Safety Speed Cut Manufacturing Company, Inc. and Total E&S, Inc. all turned out to be successful investments for the Trust. We continue to have a healthy backlog of companies that are in various stages of a sale process, so we expect realization activity for the remainder of 2011 to be strong.

Thank you for your continued interest in and support of MassMutual Corporate Investors.


Sincerely,
 
 
Michael L. Klofas,
President

1. History    
  MassMutual Corporate Investors (the “Trust”) commenced operations in 1971 as a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated November 14, 1985, approved by shareholders, the Trust was reorganized as a Massachusetts business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, effective November 28, 1985.

The Trust is a diversified closed-end management investment company. Babson Capital Management LLC (“Babson Capital”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”), acts as its investment adviser. The Trust’s investment objective is to maintain a portfolio of securities providing a fixed yield and at the same time offering an opportunity for capital gains. The Trust’s principal investments are privately placed, below-investment grade, long-term debt obligations with equity features such as common stock, warrants, conversion rights, or other equity features and, occasionally, preferred stocks. The Trust typically purchases these investments, which are not publicly tradable, directly from their issuers in private placement transactions. These investments are typically mezzanine debt instruments with accompanying private equity securities made to small or middle market companies. In addition, the Trust may temporarily invest, subject to certain limitations, in marketable investment grade debt securities, other marketable debt securities (including high yield securities) and marketable common stocks. Below-investment grade or high yield securities have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the capacity of the issuer to pay interest and repay capital.

On January 27,1998, the Board of Trustees authorized the formation of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trust (“MMCI Subsidiary Trust”) for the purpose of holding certain investments. The results of MMCI Subsidiary Trust are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. Footnote 2.D below discusses the Federal tax consequences of the MMCI Subsidiary Trust.
  Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) or pursuant to a transaction that is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act. Restricted securities that are valued using public information, such as observable trades or market quotations, are reflected as restricted securities at market value. Valuation of securities in the Trust’s portfolio is made on the basis of the market price whenever market quotations are readily available.

The value of restricted securities at fair value, and of any other assets for which there are no reliable market quotations, is the fair value as determined in good faith by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”). Each restricted security is valued by the Trustees at the time of its acquisition and at least quarterly thereafter. The Trustees have established guidelines to aid in the valuation of each security. Generally, restricted securities are initially valued at cost at the time of acquisition by the Trust. Values greater or less than cost are used thereafter for restricted securities in appropriate circumstances. Among the factors ordinarily considered in the valuation of debt and equity securities at fair value are the results of various valuation methods, which may include comparable company valuation analyses, discounted future cash flow models and recent private transactions. As part of the valuation process, we may take into account the following types of factors, if relevant, in determining the fair value of our investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company (an estimate of the total fair value of the portfolio company’s debt and equity), the portfolio company’s earnings, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio company’s securities to publicly traded securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future and other relevant factors. Consideration is also given to corporate governance, marketability, company and industry results and outlooks, and general market conditions. The determination of fair value involves subjective judgments. As a result, using fair value to price a security may result in a price materially different from the price used by other investors or the price that may be realized on the actual sale of the security. All of these factors are in accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In making valuations, opinions of counsel may be relied upon as to whether or not securities are restricted securities and as to the legal requirements for public sale.

When market quotations are readily available for unrestricted securities of an issuer, restricted securities of the same class are generally valued at a discount from the market price of such unrestricted securities. The Trustees, however, consider all factors in fixing any discount, including the filing of a registration statement for such securities under the 1933 Act and any other developments which are likely to increase the probability that the securities may be publicly sold by the Trust without restriction.
     
2. Significant Accounting Policies  
  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed consistently by the Trust in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

A. Valuation of Investments:
Nearly all securities which are acquired by the Trust directly from the issuers and shares into which such securities may be converted or which may be purchased on the exercise of warrants attached to such securities will be subject to legal or contractual delays in, or restrictions on, resale and will therefore be “restricted securities.” Generally speaking, as contrasted with open-market sales of unrestricted securities (public securities), which may be effected immediately if the market is adequate, restricted securities can be sold only in a public offering for which a registration statement is in effect under the Securities

  The Trustees meet at least once each quarter to approve the value of the Trust’s portfolio securities as of the close of business on the last business day of the preceding quarter. This valuation requires the approval of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or of Babson Capital. In making valuations, the Trustees will consider reports by Babson Capital analyzing each portfolio security in accordance with the relevant factors referred to above. Babson Capital has agreed to provide such reports to the Trust at least quarterly.

The consolidated financial statements include private placement restricted securities valued at $226,888,825 (90.17% of net assets) as of June 30, 2011 whose values have been estimated by the Trustees in the absence of readily ascertainable market values. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material.

The values for Rule 144A restricted securities and corporate public securities are stated at the last reported sales price or at prices based upon quotations obtained from brokers and dealers as of June 30, 2011, subject to discount where appropriate, and are approved by the Trustees.

Short-term securities with more than sixty days to maturity are valued at fair value and short-term securities having a maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
  In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under U.S. GAAP, the Trust discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (level 3 measurements). The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Trust’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs and methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

B. Accounting for Investments:
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis, including the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on bonds held using the yield-to-maturity method. The Trust does not accrue income when payment is delinquent and when management believes payment is questionable.

Realized gains and losses on investment transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are reported for financial statement and Federal income tax purposes on the identified cost method.

C. Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

D. Federal Income Taxes:
The Trust has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” under the Internal Revenue Code, and intends to maintain this qualification and to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income to its shareholders. In any year when net long-term capital gains are realized by the Trust, management, after evaluating the prevailing economic conditions, will recommend that Trustees either designate the net realized long-term gains as undistributed and pay the Federal capital gains taxes thereon or distribute all or a portion of such net gains.
 
The Trust is taxed as a regulated investment company and is therefore limited as to the amount of non-qualified income that it may receive as the result of operating a trade or business, e.g. the Trust’s pro rata share of income allocable to the Trust by a partnership operating company. The Trust’s violation of this limitation could result in the loss of its status as a regulated investment company, thereby subjecting all of its net income and capital gains to corporate taxes prior to distribution to its shareholders. The Trust, from time-to-time, identifies investment opportunities in the securities of entities that could cause such trade or business income to be allocable to the Trust. The MMCI Subsidiary Trust (described in Footnote 1 above) was formed in order to allow investment in such securities without adversely affecting the Trust’s status as a regulated investment company.

The MMCI Subsidiary Trust is not taxed as a regulated investment company. Accordingly, prior to the Trust receiving any distributions from the MMCI Subsidiary Trust, all of the MMCI Subsidiary Trust’s taxable income and realized gains, including non-qualified income and realized gains, is subject to taxation at prevailing corporate tax rates. As of June 30, 2011, the MMCI Subsidiary Trust has incurred income tax expense of $25,426.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of the existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. As of June 30, 2011, the MMCI Subsidiary Trust has a deferred tax liability of $841,985.

Beginning with the 2009 annual financial statements, the Trust recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable, based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority’s widely understood administrative practices and

precedents. If this threshold is met, the Trust measures the tax benefit as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Trust has evaluated and determined that the tax positions did not have a material effect on the Trust’s financial position and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

E. Distributions to Shareholders:
The Trust records distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, on the ex-dividend date. The Trust’s net investment income dividend is declared four times per year, in April, July, October, and December. The Trust’s net realized capital gain distribution, if any, is declared in December.
 
and its personnel; the Trust’s investment performance, including comparative performance information; the nature and quality of the services provided by Babson Capital to the Trust; financial strength of Babson Capital; the fee arrangements between Babson Capital and the Trust; fee and expense information, including comparative fee and expense information; profitability of the advisory arrangement to Babson Capital; and “fallout” benefits to Babson Capital resulting from the Contract.

Among other things, the Trustees discussed and considered with management (i) the aforementioned guidance provided by Ropes & Gray LLP and the information provided by Babson Capital prior to the meeting and (ii) the reasons Babson Capital put forth in support of its recommendation that the Trustees approve the continuance of the Contract. These considerations are summarized below.

NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY BABSON CAPITAL TO THE TRUST

In evaluating the scope and quality of the services provided by Babson Capital to the Trust, the Trustees considered, among other factors: (i) the scope of services required to be provided by Babson Capital under the Contract; (ii) Babson Capital’s ability to find and negotiate private placement securities having equity features that are consistent with the stated investment objectives of the Trust; (iii) the experience and quality of Babson Capital’s staff; (iv) the strength of Babson Capital’s financial condition; (v) the nature of the private placement market compared to public markets (including the fact that finding, analyzing, negotiating and servicing private placement securities is more labor-intensive than buying and selling public securities and the administration of private placement securities is more extensive, expensive, and requires greater time and expertise than a portfolio of only public securities); (vi) the potential advantages afforded to the Trust by its ability to co-invest in negotiated private placements with MassMutual and its affiliates; and (vii) the expansion of the scope of services provided by Babson Capital as a result of recent regulatory and legislative initiatives that have required increased legal, compliance and business attention and diligence. Based on such considerations, the Trustees concluded that, overall, they are satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Babson Capital, and expected to be provided in the future, under the Contract.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

The Trustees also examined the Trust’s short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term performance as compared against various benchmark indices presented at the meeting, which showed that the Trust had outperformed such indices for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. In addition, the Trustees considered comparisons of the Trust’s performance with the performance of (i) selected closed-end investment companies and funds that may invest in private placement securities and/or bank loans;
     
3. Investment Services Contract  
 
A. Services:
Under an Investment Services Contract (the “Contract”) with the Trust, Babson Capital agrees to use its best efforts to present to the Trust a continuing and suitable investment program consistent with the investment objectives and policies of the Trust. Babson Capital represents the Trust in any negotiations with issuers, investment banking firms, securities brokers or dealers and other institutions or investors relating to the Trust’s investments. Under the Contract, Babson Capital also provides administration of the day-to-day operations of the Trust and provides the Trust with office space and office equipment, accounting and bookkeeping services, and necessary executive, clerical and secretarial personnel for the performance of the foregoing services.

B. Fee:
For its services under the Contract, Babson Capital is paid a quarterly investment advisory fee of 0.3125% of the net asset value of the Trust as of the last business day of each fiscal quarter, which is approximately equal to 1.25% annually. A majority of the Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or of Babson Capital, approve the valuation of the Trust’s net assets as of such day.

C. Basis for Board Renewal of Contract:
At a meeting of the Trustees held on April 15, 2011, the Trustees (including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust or Babson Capital) unanimously approved a one year continuance of the Contract.

Prior to the meeting, the Trustees requested and received from Ropes & Gray LLP, counsel to the Trust, a memorandum describing the Trustees’ legal responsibilities in connection with their review and reapproval of the Contract. The Trustees also requested and received from Babson Capital extensive written and oral information regarding other matters including: the principal terms of the Contract; the reasons why Babson Capital was proposing the continuance of the Contract; Babson Capital

  (ii) selected business development companies with comparable types of investments; and (iii) investment companies included in the Lipper closed-end bond universe. It was acknowledged that, while such comparisons are helpful in judging performance, they are not directly comparable in terms of types of investments due to the fact that business development companies often report returns based on market value, which is affected by factors other than the performance of the underlying portfolio investments. Based on these considerations and the detailed performance information provided to the Trustees at the regular Board meetings each quarter, the Trustees concluded that the Trust’s absolute and relative performance over time have been sufficient to warrant renewal of the Contract.

ADVISORY FEE/COST OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND PROFITABILITY/ MANAGER’S “FALL-OUT” BENEFITS
  ECONOMIES OF SCALE

The Trustees considered the concept of economies of scale and possible advisory fee reductions if the Trust were to grow in assets. Given that the Trust is not continuously offering shares, such growth comes principally from retained net realized gain on investments and dividend reinvestment. The Trustees also examined the breakpoint features of selected competitive funds and noted that the minimum starting point for fee reductions in those funds was at least $200 million, close to the value of the Trust’s current net assets. The Trustees concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the fee schedule under the Contract was currently acceptable given the Trust’s current size and closed-end fund structure.
    4.     Senior Indebtedness
 
In connection with the Trustees’ consideration of the advisory fee paid by the Trust to Babson Capital under the Contract. Babson Capital noted that it was unaware of any registered closed-end investment companies that are directly comparable to the Trust in terms of the types of investments and percentages invested in private placement securities (which require more extensive advisory and administrative services than a portfolio of publicly traded securities, as previously discussed) other than MassMutual Participation Investors, which also is advised by Babson Capital. Under the terms of its Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Contract, MassMutual Participation Investors is charged a quarterly investment advisory fee of 0.225% of net asset value as of the end of each quarter, which is approximately equal to 0.90% annually. In considering the fee rate provided in the Contract, the Trustees noted the advisory fee charged by Babson Capital to Tower Square Capital Partners, L.P., and Tower Square Capital Partners II and III, L.P., each a private mezzanine fund also managed by Babson Capital, and that the fee MassMutual Participation Investors is charged compares favorably.

At the request of the Trustees, Babson Capital provided information concerning the profitability of Babson Capital’s advisory relationship with the Trust. The Trustees also considered the non-economic benefits Babson Capital and its affiliates derived from its relationship with the Trust, including the reputational benefits derived from having the Trust listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and the de minimis amount of commissions resulting from the Trust’s portfolio transactions used by Babson Capital for third-party soft dollar arrangements. The Trustees recognized that Babson Capital should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profit for services provided to the Trust and, based on their review, concluded that they were satisfied that Babson Capital’s historical level of profitability from its relationship with the Trust was not excessive and that the advisory fee under the Contract is reasonable.
  MassMutual holds the Trust’s $30,000,000 Senior Fixed Rate Convertible Note (the “Note”) issued by the Trust on November 15, 2007. The Note is due November 15, 2017 and accrues interest at 5.28% per annum. MassMutual, at its option, can convert the principal amount of the Note into common shares. The dollar amount of principal would be converted into an equivalent dollar amount of common shares based upon the average price of the common shares for ten business days prior to the notice of conversion. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Trust incurred total interest expense on the Note of $792,000.

The Trust may redeem the Note, in whole or in part, at the principal amount proposed to be redeemed together with the accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the redemption date plus a Make Whole Premium. The Make Whole Premium equals the excess of (i) the present value of the scheduled payments of principal and interest which the Trust would have paid but for the proposed redemption, discounted at the rate of interest of U.S. Treasury obligations whose maturity approximates that of the Note plus 0.50% over (ii) the principal of the Note proposed to be redeemed.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
 
MassMutual Corporate Investors offers a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides a simple way for shareholders to add to their holdings in the Trust through the receipt of dividend shares issued by the Trust or through the investment of cash dividends in Trust shares purchased in the open market. A shareholder may join the Plan by filling out and mailing an authorization card to Shareholder Financial Services, Inc., the Transfer Agent.

Participating shareholders will continue to participate until they notify the Transfer Agent, in writing, of their desire to terminate participation. Unless a shareholder elects to participate in the Plan, he or she will, in effect, have elected to receive dividends and distributions in cash. Participating shareholders may also make additional contributions to the Plan from their own funds. Such contributions may be made by personal check or other means in an amount not less than $10 nor more than $5,000 per quarter. Cash contributions must be received by the Transfer Agent at least five days (but no more then 30 days) before the payment date of a dividend or distributions.

Whenever the Trust declares a dividend payable in cash or shares, the Transfer Agent, acting on behalf of each participating shareholder, will take the dividend in shares only if the net asset value is lower than the market price plus an estimated brokerage commission as of the close of business on the valuation day. The valuation day is the last day preceding the day of dividend payment.

When the dividend is to be taken in shares, the number of shares to be received is determined by dividing the cash dividend by the net asset value as of the close of business on the valuation date or, if greater than net asset value, 95% of the closing share price. If the net asset value of the shares is higher than the market value plus an estimated commission, the Transfer Agent, consistent with obtaining the best price and execution, will buy shares on the open market at current prices promptly after the dividend payment date.

The reinvestment of dividends does not, in anyway, relieve participating shareholders of any Federal, state or local tax. For Federal income tax purposes, the amount reportable in respect of a dividend received in newly-issued shares of the Trust will be the fair market value of the shares received, which will be reportable as ordinary income and/or capital gains.

As compensation for its services, the Transfer Agent receives a fee of 5% of any dividend and cash contribution (in no event in excess of $2.50 per distribution per shareholder.)

Any questions regarding the Plan should be addressed to Shareholder Financial Services, Inc., Transfer Agent for MassMutual Corporate Investors’ Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan, P.O. Box 173673, Denver, CO 80217-3673.
