Fellow Shareholders
Tax-free municipal bonds produced moderate gains but outperformed taxable bonds
as Treasury interest rates increased in the 12-month period ended February 28, 2018.
The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index returned 2.50% versus 0.51% for the
Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Throughout most of our fiscal year,
municipal securities were supported by strong demand and limited issuance. However,
there was a surge of new supply in late 2017, as municipalities accelerated issuance
amid uncertainty surrounding tax reform and its possible impact on municipal bonds.
The Virginia Tax-Free Bond Fund outperformed its peer group in the 12-month
period, and the fund’s longer-term relative performance record remains favorable.
ECONOMY AND INTEREST RATES
According to the most recent estimate, the U.S. economy expanded at a solid 2.5% annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2017, in line with the average over the first three quarters of the year. The U.S. labor market has been healthy, with the national unemployment rate holding at a 17-year low of 4.1% in the last few months. Inflation, while still low, is rising from its mid-2017 low and is likely to increase further in 2018 amid rising wages and expectations for stronger economic growth.
Citing the strengthening labor market and expectations that inflation would move higher over the medium term, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates three times over the last year, lifting the federal funds target rate to a range of 1.25% to 1.50% by the end of February 2018. After our reporting period ended, the Fed raised rates again at its March 20–21 monetary policy meeting; the central bank is expected to raise rates at least two more times in 2018. Additionally, in October 2017, the Fed began the process of slowly unwinding its $4.5 trillion balance sheet, a legacy of its massive purchases of Treasury bonds
2
and mortgage-backed securities in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, by slowing reinvestment of principal payments from its holdings.
In the closing months of our reporting period, the 10-year Treasury note yield climbed to a four-year high in anticipation of faster economic growth and higher inflation stemming from tax cuts, increased government spending, and stronger wage growth. Yields on short- and
intermediate-term municipal securities also increased over the last year, as the Fed continued to gradually reverse its highly accommodative monetary policy. Long-term yields rose only slightly as the yields on 30-year municipal bonds rated AAA were virtually unchanged from 12 months ago. The result was a flatter municipal yield curve. At the end of February, high-quality 30-year muni yields were modestly lower than the 30-year Treasury yield but still offer relative value for many fixed income investors on an after-tax basis.
As an illustration of their relative attractiveness, on February 28, 2018, the 3.06% yield offered by a 30-year tax-free general obligation (GO) bond rated AAA was about 98% of the 3.13% pretax yield offered by a 30-year Treasury bond. Including the 3.8% net investment income tax that took effect in 2013 as part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the top marginal federal tax rate (after tax reform) stood at 40.8%. An investor in this tax bracket would need to invest in a taxable bond of similar credit quality and maturity yielding about 5.17% to receive the same after-tax income as that generated by the municipal bond. (To calculate a municipal bond’s taxable-equivalent yield, divide the yield by the quantity of 1.00 minus your federal tax bracket expressed as a decimal—in this case, 1.00–0.408, or 0.592.)

MUNICIPAL MARKET NEWS
According to The Bond Buyer, total municipal bond issuance in 2017 was approximately $436 billion, about 3% lower than 2016’s record total. Supply spiked in the fourth quarter as issuers rushed to bring new deals ahead of any potential tax law changes, but mostly positive fund flows helped absorb the new supply. The quarter was marked by concerns that the new tax law would no longer allow the tax-exempt issuance of private activity bonds (PABs), which can be used to fund projects such as hospitals and airports. Ultimately, the new tax law eliminated advance refundings, which had allowed issuers to refinance existing debt with new bonds, but PAB issuers retained their ability to issue tax-exempt debt. Issuance in the first two months of 2018 was meager because municipalities had accelerated a substantial amount of planned 2018 issuance into late 2017.
Generally, fundamentals for municipal issuers remain solid, and most issuers in the $3.8 trillion municipal bond market have been fiscally responsible. State and local governments, in general, have been cautious about adding to indebtedness since the 2008–2009 financial crisis, and a strengthening economy has helped tax revenues rebound. Over 60% of the market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, is AAA or AA rated.
Although the market is overwhelmingly high quality, many states and municipalities are grappling with underfunded pensions and other post-employment benefit (OPEB) obligations. New reporting rules from the Governmental Accounting Standards Board are bringing greater transparency to state and local governments’ pension funding gaps, long-term risks that investors often overlooked in the past.
Bonds from some troubled municipal issuers, such as Illinois and New Jersey, outperformed the broad municipal market over the last 12 months, as their higher yields attracted investors. In October, Illinois issued a total of $6 billion of new bonds to help pay a portion of the backlog of bills it ran up during its multiyear budget standoff that was finally resolved in July 2017. Illinois has the lowest credit rating of any state and was teetering on the verge of a downgrade to the below investment-grade category before passing a budget.
Puerto Rico’s debt remained under pressure, and its long path to recovery was derailed by the catastrophic damage caused by Hurricane Maria last September. Even before the storm, Puerto Rico was in bankruptcy as the financial oversight board had filed petitions with the U.S. District Court seeking help with what could amount to the largest restructuring of municipal debt in U.S. history.
5
Longer-term municipal bonds outperformed shorter-term securities over the year, and lower-quality debt generally outpaced higher-quality issues as investors sought higher yields. Most major segments of the municipal market generated positive returns. Revenue bonds outperformed general obligation debt, but prerefunded bonds were flat as rising short-term yields offset income. All subsectors of investment-grade revenue bonds produced positive returns, led by industrial/pollution control, hospital, and leasing revenue debt, while the special tax and power subsectors lagged the broader index. High yield tobacco debt outperformed other municipal segments, returning more than 7% during our fiscal year.
VIRGINIA MARKET NEWS
Virginia’s economy remains predominantly sound. The common-wealth’s 3.7% unemployment rate in December 2017 was down slightly from 4.1% a year earlier and is lower than the 4.1% national rate. Virginia’s population continues to grow steadily at about 0.5% per year, and Virginians remain relatively wealthy, with per capita income in 2017 that is 108% of the national average and ranks 12th among the states. However, at 0.7%, employment growth in the commonwealth over the past year has been slow, trailing the national growth rate of 1.2%.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, general fund revenues (at $20 billion) grew by 2.6% compared with the prior year and were favorably above final budget expectations. Most of the outperformance was due to higher-than-expected personal income tax collections. Expenditures, however, grew at a higher rate (3.3%), which led to fiscal year 2017 ending with a $252 million, or 1.3%, deficit. The 2017 amended budget bill, which covers fiscal 2018, makes reductions to general fund spending while also increasing revenues.
Despite these measures, a budget shortfall is projected for fiscal 2018, necessitating continued transfers from reserves built up over prior years to offset the gap. Fortunately, state tax revenues have remained strong in fiscal 2018. Collections for the first seven months of fiscal 2018 are up 5.8% from the same period in the prior year and remain above forecast growth of 3.4%. It is important to note, however, that some of this outperformance may be a result of the recent tax reform legislation, as individuals tried to realize discretionary income in 2017.

Virginia has historically enjoyed a favorable reserve profile, although recent budgetary shortfalls have reduced the size of the Revenue Stabilization Fund. This “rainy day” fund held $549 million, or 2.7% of revenues, as of June 30, 2017. Another withdrawal from the fund is budgeted in fiscal year 2018, bringing its expected balance down to $282 million. While the commonwealth’s fiscal position compares favorably with that of other states, we are keeping a close eye on monthly revenue performance versus the budget. Officials have been proactive in managing Virginia’s finances, and we continue to take comfort in their solid record of fiscal stewardship.
Virginia’s debt burden has grown but is still manageable. The commonwealth has $12.5 billion of total net tax-supported debt outstanding, ranking it in the top half among states when measured by debt per capita and debt relative to personal income, according to Moody’s Investors Service. While Virginia does not face as dire a crisis in pension liabilities as some other states, we are concerned at the growth in the unfunded portion of its pension system.
As of June 30, 2017 (the most recent data available), the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) was funded at 77%. The unfunded portion of the VRS was high, at $21 billion, but fell during the most recent fiscal year as pension assets achieved strong returns. Virginia’s unfunded liabilities associated with OPEB are modest in comparison with other states. The state’s credit ratings—AAA at all three major rating agencies—reflect its relatively favorable fiscal position, pension concerns notwithstanding. However, in April 2017, S&P placed Virginia on a negative outlook based on the recent structural imbalance. Government officials appear to be appropriately focused on resolving S&P’s concerns as part of fiscal 2019 budget negotiations.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Virginia Tax-Free Bond Fund returned 2.53% for the 12-month period ended February 28, 2018, outperforming the Lipper Virginia Municipal Debt Funds Average, which returned -0.66%. (Performance varies for the I Class shares, reflecting their different fee structure.) The fund lost ground over the most recent six months but held up better than its peer group average. We outperformed our peers for both periods on the strength of the portfolio’s concentration in revenue bonds and our overall caution on interest rate risk.
7
The fund’s longer-term performance is also solid, placing it in the top decile in its peer group over the past 3- and 10-year periods and top quintile for the five-year period. Based on cumulative total returns, Lipper ranked the Virginia Tax-Free Bond Fund 4 of 32, 3 of 30, 3 of 27, and 2 of 23 funds in the Virginia municipal debt funds universe for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods ended February 28, 2018, respectively. (Past performance cannot guarantee future results.)
Our lingering concern about the risk of rising interest rates paid dividends in the second half of our fiscal year as rates rose. While our average maturity extended somewhat to 17.0 years, our duration—a measure of the fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates—fell to 4.4 years, a conservative level compared with a representative sampling of our peers. We added to our longer-maturity holdings during the 12-month period but offset any increase in risk that came from holding these longer positions

with a good concentration of securities on the front end of the yield curve, including a healthy store of high-quality, short-maturity prerefunded securities. While we are not overly bearish on interest rates, we do believe that rates will move higher gradually over time. As such, we expect to maintain our mildly defensive interest rate posture.
At the sector level, our revenue bond overweight and our concentration in transportation and health care bonds, both long-term strategic positions, enhanced our overall absolute and relative returns. Both sectors are excellent sources of above-average yield. In the transportation sector, we added to our existing positions in Metropolitan DC Airport Authority and Interstate 95 Express Lanes, and we initiated new positions in Interstate 66 P3 Project and Hampton Roads Transportation Accountability Commission. The tolls on newly constructed lanes for the I-95 and

I-66 projects provide the financial support for these bonds. Among our top-performing bonds for the year were a number of securities in both health care and transportation. (Please refer to the fund’s portfolio of investments for a complete list of holdings and the amount each represents in the portfolio.)
With regard to the portfolio’s credit quality, our transportation and health care additions tended to be lower quality, though still a good value in our view. Our health care sector additions were mostly securities from continuing care retirement facilities that came to market without published ratings. As with every security we purchase, we rate all new purchases internally and do not rely on the opinions of the rating agencies. Even with these new additions to the portfolio, our overall credit quality weightings did not change significantly during the period as maturing bonds leaving the portfolio canceled out any additions.
OUTLOOK
We believe that the municipal bond market remains a high-quality market that offers good opportunities for long-term investors seeking tax-free income. While the uncertainty around the long-term impacts of tax reform and the increased chance of rising yields represent near-term headwinds for broad muni market performance, we believe fundamentals are sound overall, and global economic uncertainties could spur demand for the asset class. As the Fed continues on the path to interest rate normalization, muni bond yields are likely to rise along with Treasury yields—although probably not to the same extent. While higher yields pressure bond prices, munis should be less susceptible to slowly rising rates than Treasuries given their attractive tax-equivalent yields and the steady demand for tax-exempt income. We expect any potential Fed rate increases to be gradual and believe we could remain in a relatively low rate environment for some time.
While we believe that many states deserve high credit ratings and will be able to continue servicing their debts, we have longer-term concerns about significant funding shortfalls for pensions and OPEB obligations in some jurisdictions. These funding gaps stem from investment losses during the 2008–2009 financial crisis, insufficient plan contributions over time, and unrealistic return assumptions. Although few large plans are at risk of insolvency in the near term, the magnitude of unfunded liabilities is becoming more conspicuous in a few states.
10
Ultimately, we believe independent credit research is our greatest strength and will remain an asset for our investors as we navigate the current market environment. As always, we focus on finding attractively valued bonds issued by municipalities with good long-term fundamentals—an investment strategy that we believe will continue to serve our investors well.

Notes to Financial Statements
T. Rowe Price State Tax-Free Funds, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The Virginia Tax-Free Bond Fund (the fund) is a nondiversified, open-end management investment company established by the corporation. The fund seeks to provide, consistent with prudent portfolio management, the highest level of income exempt from federal and Virginia state income taxes by investing primarily in investment-grade Virginia municipal bonds. The corporation, organized as a Maryland corporation, and the fund are the successors to the T. Rowe Price State Tax-Free Income Trust and its corresponding sub-trust pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization for a change in domicile, effective October 30, 2017. Prior to October 30, 2017, the corporation was organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The reorganization and redomiciliation had no effect on the fund’s investment objective and strategies or on the fund’s net assets. The fund has two classes of shares: the Virginia Tax-Free Bond Fund (Investor Class) and the Virginia Tax-Free Bond Fund–I Class (I Class). I Class shares generally are available only to investors meeting a $1,000,000 minimum investment or certain other criteria. Each class has exclusive voting rights on matters related solely to that class; separate voting rights on matters that relate to both classes; and, in all other respects, the same rights and obligations as the other class.
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 (ASC 946). The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), including, but not limited to, ASC 946. GAAP requires the use of estimates made by management. Management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately realized upon sale or maturity.
Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date basis. Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes. Dividend income is recorded on
T. Rowe Price Virginia Tax-Free Bond Fund
41
the ex-dividend date. Income tax-related interest and penalties, if incurred, are recorded as income tax expense. Income distributions are declared by each class daily and paid monthly. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. A capital gain distribution may also be declared and paid by the fund annually.
Class Accounting Shareholder servicing, prospectus, and shareholder report expenses incurred by each class are charged directly to the class to which they relate. Expenses common to both classes and investment income are allocated to the classes based upon the relative daily net assets of each class’s settled shares; realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated based upon the relative daily net assets of each class’s outstanding shares. To the extent any expenses are waived or reimbursed in accordance with an expense limitation (see Note 5), the waiver or reimbursement is charged to the applicable class or allocated across the classes in the same manner as the related expense.
New Accounting Guidance In March 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance to shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Adoption will have no effect on the fund’s net assets or results of operations.
On August 1, 2017, the fund implemented amendments to Regulation S-X, issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. Adoption had no effect on the fund’s net assets or results of operations.
Indemnification In the normal course of business, the fund may provide indemnification in connection with its officers and directors, service providers, and/or private company investments. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the risk of material loss is currently considered to be remote.
NOTE 2 - VALUATION
The fund’s financial instruments are valued and each class’s net asset value (NAV) per share is computed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. However, the NAV per share may be calculated at a time other than the normal close of the NYSE if trading on the NYSE is restricted, if the NYSE closes earlier, or as may be permitted by the SEC.
T. Rowe Price Virginia Tax-Free Bond Fund
42
Fair Value The fund’s financial instruments are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee (the Valuation Committee) is an internal committee that has been delegated certain responsibilities by the fund’s Board of Directors (the Board) to ensure that financial instruments are appropriately priced at fair value in accordance with GAAP and the 1940 Act. Subject to oversight by the Board, the Valuation Committee develops and oversees pricing-related policies and procedures and approves all fair value determinations. Specifically, the Valuation Committee establishes procedures to value securities; determines pricing techniques, sources, and persons eligible to effect fair value pricing actions; oversees the selection, services, and performance of pricing vendors; oversees valuation-related business continuity practices; and provides guidance on internal controls and valuation-related matters. The Valuation Committee reports to the Board and has representation from legal, portfolio management and trading, operations, risk management, and the fund’s treasurer.
Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the fund can access at the reporting date
Level 2 – inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads)
Level 3 – unobservable inputs
Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to
T. Rowe Price Virginia Tax-Free Bond Fund
43
derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values.
Valuation Techniques Debt securities generally are traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market. Securities with remaining maturities of one year or more at the time of acquisition are valued at prices furnished by dealers who make markets in such securities or by an independent pricing service, which considers the yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such securities. Securities with remaining maturities of less than one year at the time of acquisition generally use amortized cost in local currency to approximate fair value. However, if amortized cost is deemed not to reflect fair value or the fund holds a significant amount of such securities with remaining maturities of more than 60 days, the securities are valued at prices furnished by dealers who make markets in such securities or by an independent pricing service. Generally, debt securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; however, to the extent the valuations include significant unobservable inputs, the securities would be categorized in Level 3.
Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange or in the OTC market are valued at the last quoted sale price or, for certain markets, the official closing price at the time the valuations are made. OTC Bulletin Board securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Listed securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices. Actively traded equity securities listed on a domestic exchange generally are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. OTC Bulletin Board securities, certain preferred securities, and equity securities traded in inactive markets generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Assets and liabilities other than financial instruments, including short-term receivables and payables, are carried at cost, or estimated realizable value, if less, which approximates fair value.
T. Rowe Price Virginia Tax-Free Bond Fund
44
Thinly traded financial instruments and those for which the above valuation procedures are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee. The objective of any fair value pricing determination is to arrive at a price that could reasonably be expected from a current sale. Financial instruments fair valued by the Valuation Committee are primarily private placements, restricted securities, warrants, rights, and other securities that are not publicly traded.
Subject to oversight by the Board, the Valuation Committee regularly makes good faith judgments to establish and adjust the fair valuations of certain securities as events occur and circumstances warrant. For instance, in determining the fair value of troubled or thinly traded debt instruments, the Valuation Committee considers a variety of factors, which may include, but are not limited to, the issuer’s business prospects, its financial standing and performance, recent investment transactions in the issuer, strategic events affecting the company, market liquidity for the issuer, and general economic conditions and events. In consultation with the investment and pricing teams, the Valuation Committee will determine an appropriate valuation technique based on available information, which may include both observable and unobservable inputs. The Valuation Committee typically will afford greatest weight to actual prices in arm’s length transactions, to the extent they represent orderly transactions between market participants, transaction information can be reliably obtained, and prices are deemed representative of fair value. However, the Valuation Committee may also consider other valuation methods such as a discount or premium from market value of a similar, freely traded security of the same issuer; discounted cash flows; yield to maturity; or some combination. Fair value determinations are reviewed on a regular basis and updated as information becomes available, including actual purchase and sale transactions of the issue. Because any fair value determination involves a significant amount of judgment, there is a degree of subjectivity inherent in such pricing decisions, and fair value prices determined by the Valuation Committee could differ from those of other market participants. Depending on the relative significance of unobservable inputs, including the valuation technique(s) used, fair valued securities may be categorized in Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 3 - OTHER INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following practices to manage exposure to certain risks and/or to enhance performance. The investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the fund are described more fully in the fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
Restricted Securities The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Prompt sale of such securities at an acceptable price may be difficult and may involve substantial delays and additional costs.
Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities other than short-term securities aggregated $189,650,000 and $107,760,000, respectively, for the year ended February 28, 2018.

NOTE 4 - FEDERAL INCOME TAxES
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its income and gains. Distributions determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are not adjusted for temporary differences.
The fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return but which can be extended to six years in certain circumstances. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.
Reclassifications to paid-in capital relate primarily to expiring capital loss carryforwards. Reclassifications between income and gain relate primarily to differences between book/tax amortization policies. For the year ended February 28, 2018, the following reclassifications were recorded to reflect tax character (there was no impact on results of operations or net assets):

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (Price Group). The investment management agreement between the fund and Price Associates provides for an annual investment management fee, which is computed daily and paid monthly. The fee consists of an individual fund fee, equal to 0.10% of the fund’s average daily net assets, and a group fee. The group fee rate is calculated based on the combined net assets of certain mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates (the group) applied to a graduated fee schedule, with rates ranging from 0.48% for the first $1 billion of assets to 0.265% for assets in excess of $650 billion. The fund’s group fee is determined by applying the group fee rate to the fund’s average daily net assets. At February 28, 2018, the effective annual group fee rate was 0.29%.
The I Class is subject to an operating expense limitation (I Class limit) pursuant to which Price Associates is contractually required to pay all operating expenses of the I Class, excluding management fees, interest, expenses related to borrowings, taxes, brokerage, and other non-recurring expenses permitted by the investment management agreement, to the extent such operating expenses,
T. Rowe Price Virginia Tax-Free Bond Fund
48
on an annualized basis, exceed 0.05% of average net assets. This agreement will continue until June 30, 2019, and may be renewed, revised, or revoked only with approval of the fund’s Board. The I Class is required to repay Price Associates for expenses previously paid to the extent the class’s net assets grow or expenses decline sufficiently to allow repayment without causing the class’s operating expenses (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed both: (1) the expense limitation in place at the time such amounts were paid; and (2) the class’s current expense limitation. However, no repayment will be made more than three years after the date of a payment or waiver.
In addition, the fund has entered into service agreements with Price Associates and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Price Associates, each an affiliate of the fund (collectively, Price). Price Associates provides certain accounting and administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc. provides shareholder and administrative services in its capacity as the fund’s transfer and dividend-disbursing agent. T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. provides subaccounting and recordkeeping services for certain retirement accounts invested in the Investor Class and I Class. For the year ended February 28, 2018, expenses incurred pursuant to these service agreements were $86,000 for Price Associates; $206,000 for T. Rowe Price Services, Inc.; and less than $1,000 for T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. The total amount payable at period-end pursuant to these service agreements is reflected as Due to Affiliates on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of February 28, 2018, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., or its wholly owned subsidiaries owned 20,868 shares of the I Class, representing 1% of the I Class’s net assets.
The fund may participate in securities purchase and sale transactions with other funds or accounts advised by Price Associates (cross trades), in accordance with procedures adopted by the fund’s Board and Securities and Exchange Commission rules, which require, among other things, that such purchase and sale cross trades be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the year ended February 28, 2018, the aggregate value of purchases and sales cross trades with other funds or accounts advised by Price Associates was less than 1% of the fund’s net assets as of February 28, 2018.
