Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our consideration of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the PCAOB. However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund's internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls over safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of December 31, 2022. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Trustees of Templeton Global Income Fund and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. /s/PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP San Francisco, California February 17, 2023 EXEMPT ORDER INFO 3 IC-15534.txt SEC Releases, In the Matter of Age High Income Fund, Inc., et al., 777 Mariners Island Boulevard, San Mateo, CA 94404, Securities and Exchange Commission, (Jan. 13, 1987) SEC Releases Click to open document in a browser 37 SEC-DOCKET 569-02 Release No. IC-15534 File No. 812-6505 January 13, 1987 ORDER PERMITTING JOINT TRADING ACCOUNTS AGE High Income Fund, Inc; Birr, Wilson Money Fund; Franklin California Tax-Free Income Fund, Inc.; Franklin New York Tax-Free Income Fund, Inc; Franklin California Tax-Free Trust; Franklin Tax-Free Trust; Franklin Corporate Cash Management Fund; Franklin Custodian Funds, Inc; Franklin Equity Fund; Franklin Federal Money Fund; Franklin Federal Tax-Free Income Fund; Franklin Gold Fund; Franklin Money Fund; Franklin Option Fund; Franklin Tax-Exempt Money Fund; Franklin New York Tax-Exempt Money Fund; Franklin Pennsylvania Investors Fund; and Institutional Fiduciary Trust ("Funds") and Franklin Advisers, Inc., filed an application on October 17, 1986, and an amendment thereto on November 24, 1986, requesting an order of the Commission under Section 17(d) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Act") and Rule 17d-1 thereunder to permit the Funds, as well as future investment companies for which subsidiaries or affiliates of Franklin Resources, Inc. serve as investment managers, to deposit their cash balances remaining uninvested at the end of each trading day into a single joint account whose daily balance would be used to enter into one or more repurchase agreements in a total amount equal to the aggregate daily balance in the account ("Joint Accounts").

Applicants requested an order under section 6(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") for an exemption from sections 18(f) and 21(b) of the Act, under section 12(d)(1)(J) of the Act for an exemption from section 12(d)(1) of the Act, under sections 6(c) and 17(b) of the Act for an exemption from sections 17(a)(1), 17(a)(2), and 17(a)(3) of the Act, and under section 17(d) of the Act and rule 17d-1 under the Act to permit certain joint arrangements and transactions. The order supersedes a prior order1 and permits certain registered management investment companies to participate in a joint lending and borrowing facility. On May 10, 2018, a notice of the filing of the application was issued (Investment Company Act Release No. 33095). The notice gave interested persons an opportunity to request a hearing and stated that an order disposing of the application would be issued unless a hearing was ordered. No request for a hearing has been filed, and the Commission has not ordered a hearing. The matter has been considered and it is found, on the basis of the information set forth in the application, as amended, that granting the requested exemption is consistent with and appropriate in the public interest, and consistent with the protection of investors and the purposes fairly intended by the policy and provisions of the Act. It is also found that the terms of the proposed transactions, including the consideration to be paid or received, are reasonable and fair and do not involve overreaching on the part of any person concerned, and that the proposed transactions are consistent with the policy of each registered investment company concerned and the general purposes of the Act. It is further found that the participation of each registered investment company in the proposed credit facility is consistent with the provisions, policies, and purposes of the Act, and not on a basis different from or less advantageous than that of other participants. Accordingly, in the matter of Franklin Alternative Strategies Funds, et al., (File No. 812-14819), IT IS ORDERED, under section 6(c) of the Act, that the requested exemptions from sections 18(f) and 21(b) of the Act are granted, effective immediately, subject to the conditions in the application, as amended. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, under section 12(d)(1)(J) of the Act, that the requested exemption from section 12(d)(1) of the Act is granted, effective immediately, subject to the conditions in the application, as amended. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, under sections 6(c) and 17(b) of the Act, that the requested exemptions from sections 17(a)(1), 17(a)(2), and 17(a)(3) of the Act are granted, effective immediately, subject to the conditions in the application, as amended. 1 Franklin Gold Fund, et al., Investment Company Act Release Nos. 24016 (Sept. 16, 1999) (notice) and 24080 (Oct. 13, 1999) (order). 4 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, under section 17(d) of the Act and rule 17d-1 under the Act, that the proposed transactions are approved, effective immediately, subject to the conditions in the application, as amended.

Aleman Assistant Secretary LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 6 TGIF_G1_a1_030923.txt NAME OF REGISTRANT: TEMPLETON GLOBAL INCOME FUND File No. 811-05459 EXHIBIT ITEM: Legal Proceedings (Item B.11.a) Case Summary: Following the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Fund held on June 6, 2022, the Fund and a Fund shareholder filed a complaint and temporary restraining order request in United States District Court in the Southern District of New York (the "Court") seeking to prevent the certification of the results of the Annual Meeting. The District Court denied the Fund's requests, enabling the vote certification to proceed and Saba's nominees to be seated. On February 1, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit granted the Fund's motion for an emergency administrative stay of the District Court's orders pending further appeal. On February 13, 2023, the Fund announced that it had taken action to discontinue the litigation. As a result of such withdrawal, upon certification of the Annual Meeting results, Saba's nominees represent a majority of the Fund's trustees. On February 15, 2023, the results of the Annual Meeting were certified. Accordingly, the following persons were elected by the shareholders to serve as Trustees of the Fund: Karen Caldwell, Ketu Desai, Mark Hammitt and Anatoly Nakum.
