The table below provides an estimate of the source of the Funds' distributions on a U.S. GAAP basis. The information is being provided pursuant to Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and should not be used for tax reporting purposes. In early 2024, after definitive information is available, the Funds will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV specifying how the distributions paid by the Funds during calendar year 2023 have been characterized for purposes of reporting the distributions on shareholders' tax returns. The Funds will also post Form(s) 8937 to the Franklin Templeton website† if all or any portion of the distributions are characterized as a tax return of capital after the close of the Funds' fiscal year-end.
