We are asking for your vote on important matters affecting your investment in one or more of the funds in the Putnam family of funds (the “funds”). Special meetings of shareholders of Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust, Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust, Putnam Municipal Opportunities Trust, and Putnam Premier Income Trust (the “Putnam Closed-End Funds”) will be held on October 6, 2023 in Boston, Massachusetts. Special meetings of shareholders of the other funds identified in the Joint Proxy Statement (the “Putnam Open-End Funds and ETFs”) will be held on October 20, 2023 in Boston, Massachusetts. We are asking you — and all shareholders — to consider and vote on the important matters described below.

Of course, you are also welcome to attend your fund’s special shareholder meeting and vote your shares in person.

The Board of Trustees of the Putnam funds unanimously recommend that you vote “FOR” all proposals described below.

On May 31, 2023, Great-West Lifeco Inc., the parent company of Putnam U.S. Holdings I, LLC (“Putnam Holdings”), entered into a definitive purchase agreement with Franklin Resources, Inc. (“FRI” and, together with its subsidiaries, “Franklin Templeton”) and a subsidiary of FRI for such subsidiary to acquire Putnam Holdings from Great-West Lifeco Inc. (the “Transaction”).

Putnam Holdings is the parent company of the investment adviser and subadvisers to the funds. The Transaction will cause the funds’ current management and sub-advisory contracts to terminate in accordance with applicable law and the terms of each contract. The Transaction will not be completed unless certain conditions are met. One of these conditions effectively requires shareholders of a substantial number of the Putnam funds to approve new management contracts to replace those that will terminate automatically upon consummation of the Transaction. We are therefore asking shareholders to approve a new management contract and new sub-advisory contracts, as applicable for each fund. Each fund’s Board of Trustees has approved the new contracts. It is important to note that your fund’s management fee rate under its new contracts will remain the same, and the Transaction is not expected to result in any change in the portfolio managers of your fund.

Detailed information regarding these proposals may be found in the enclosed proxy statement.

We encourage you to sign and return your proxy card today or, alternatively, online or by telephone using the voting control number that appears on your proxy card. Delaying your vote will increase fund expenses if further mailings are required. Your shares will be voted on your behalf exactly as you have instructed. If you sign the proxy card without specifying your vote, your shares will be voted in accordance with the Board of Trustees’ recommendations.

Your vote is extremely important. If you have questions, please call toll-free [___] or contact your financial advisor.

We appreciate your participation and prompt response, and thank you for investing in the Putnam family of funds.

If you have any questions, please call toll-free [____] or call your financial advisor.

Joint Proxy Statement

This document (the “Proxy Statement”) gives you the information you need to vote on the proposals. Much of the information is required under rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); some of it is technical. If there is anything you don’t understand, please call toll-free [1-833-501-4818] or call your financial professional.

2c	Approving a new Subadvisory Agreement between Putnam Investment Management, LLC and PanAgora Asset Management, Inc. for your fund	Putnam PanAgora ESG Emerging Markets Equity ETF and Putnam PanAgora ESG International Equity ETF

Why has a special meeting of shareholders been called?

On May 31, 2023, Great-West Lifeco Inc. (“Great-West Lifeco”), the parent company of Putnam U.S. Holdings I, LLC (“Putnam Holdings”), entered into a definitive purchase agreement with Franklin Resources, Inc. (“FRI” and, together with its subsidiaries, “Franklin Templeton”) and a subsidiary of FRI for such subsidiary to acquire Putnam Holdings from Great-West Lifeco (the “Transaction”). Putnam Holdings is the parent company of Putnam Investment Management, LLC (“Putnam Management”), the investment adviser to the Putnam family of funds (the “funds”), and of Putnam Investments Limited (“PIL”), The Putnam Advisory Company, LLC (“PAC”), and PanAgora Asset Management, Inc. (“PanAgora”), subadvisers to the funds. In this Proxy Statement, we refer to your fund’s contract with Putnam Management as a “management contract” and to each contract with a subadviser as a “sub-advisory contract,” even though certain of these agreements are titled “sub-advisory contract,” “sub-management contract,” or “subadvisory agreement.”

The Transaction will result in what is commonly called a “change of control” of Putnam Holdings and its subsidiaries that are included in the Transaction, including Putnam Management, PIL, and PAC. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), which regulates investment companies such as your fund, requires management contracts to terminate automatically upon an “assignment” of the contract, which includes a “change of control” affecting an investment company’s investment adviser (including any subadviser). PanAgora is not involved in the Transaction, and therefore will remain an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco, although its sub-advisory contract, by its terms, will also terminate.

The Transaction will not be completed unless certain conditions are met. One of these conditions effectively requires shareholders of a substantial number of the Putnam funds to approve new management contracts to replace those that will terminate automatically upon consummation of the Transaction. We are therefore asking shareholders to approve a new management contract and new sub-advisory contracts, as applicable for each fund. The Board of Trustees of the funds, including your fund (the “Board of Trustees”), has approved the new contracts. It is important to note that your fund’s management fee rate under its new contracts will remain the same, and the Transaction is not expected to result in any change in the portfolio managers of your fund.

How will the sale of Putnam Holdings potentially benefit me?

The acquisition of Putnam Holdings by Franklin Templeton will result in one of the world’s largest independent, specialized global investment managers with approximately [$___] trillion in assets under management (based on Franklin Templeton assets under management and assets under management of the Putnam Holdings subsidiaries involved in the Transaction as of [__]). Assets under management are subject to fluctuation based on market conditions and other factors. The combined organization will offer Putnam Management, PIL, and PAC greater scale and resources, broader distribution capabilities, and new opportunities to grow. Approval of the new management contracts and new sub-advisory contracts will provide continuity of the

investment program you selected through your fund investment and will allow the funds’ operations to continue uninterrupted after the Transaction.

Does the proposed new management contract differ from your fund’s current management contract?

The proposed new management contract is identical to your fund’s current management contract except for the effective date, initial term, other non-substantive changes and, for certain funds, an additional update, as described in detail under Proposal 1. There will be no change in the services that your fund will receive under the proposed new management contract.

Do the proposed new sub-advisory contracts differ from your fund’s current sub-advisory contracts?

The proposed new sub-advisory contracts are identical to your fund’s current sub-advisory contracts, except for effective dates, initial terms, and other non-substantive changes. There will be no change in the services that your fund will receive under the applicable proposed new sub-advisory contract(s).

What happens if new management and sub-advisory contracts are not approved for my fund?

If shareholders of your fund do not approve a new management contract and one or more new sub-advisory contracts, as applicable, with respect to the applicable subadvisers of your fund, and the Transaction is consummated, your fund’s current contracts will terminate, and the adviser and/or subadvisers, as applicable, will not be able to provide services to the fund under the new contract unless and until it has been approved. If this should happen, the applicable adviser and/or subadvisers will be able to continue to provide services for your fund for a period of up to 150 days following consummation of the Transaction pursuant to an interim management contract and/or interim sub-advisory contract. During the interim period, the Board of Trustees will consider what additional actions to take, which could include, without limitation, continuing to solicit approval of the new management contract and/or sub-advisory contracts or, in the case of PIL and PAC and to the extent consistent with current law and interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff, determining that shareholder approval is not required with respect to new sub-advisory contracts. The Board of Trustees has approved interim management and sub-advisory contracts to provide for maximum flexibility for your fund’s future. The terms of the interim contracts are identical to those of the current contracts except for term and certain provisions required by 1940 Act rules, including the escrowing of fees paid under the interim management and sub-advisory contracts.

Who is asking for your vote?

The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of Trustees for use at the special meeting of shareholders of each fund, to be held on October 6, 2023 for Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust, Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust, Putnam Municipal Opportunities Trust, and Putnam Premier Income Trust (the “Putnam Closed-End Funds”) and October 20, 2023 for the other funds identified in the Joint Proxy Statement (the “Putnam Open-End Funds

and ETFs”) and, if your fund’s meeting is adjourned, at any later meetings, for the purposes stated in the Notice of a Special Meeting (see previous pages). The Notice of a Special Meeting, the proxy card and this Proxy Statement are being mailed beginning on or about [ ], 2023.

How does the Board of Trustees recommend that shareholders vote on the proposals?

The Board of Trustees unanimously recommend that you vote FOR each proposal.

1. To approve a new management contract with Putnam Management.

2a. To approve a new sub-advisory contract between Putnam Management and PIL.

2b. To approve a new sub-advisory contract among Putnam Management, PIL, and PAC.

2c. To approve a new sub-advisory contract between Putnam Management and PanAgora.

Please see the table beginning on page [ ] for a list of the affected funds for each proposal.

Who is eligible to vote?

For Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust, Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust, Putnam Municipal Opportunities Trust, and Putnam Premier Income Trust, shareholders of record at the close of business on July 10, 2023 (the “Closed-End Fund Record Date”) are entitled to be present and to vote at the special meeting or any adjournment. For all other funds, shareholders of record at the close of business on July 24, 2023 (the “Open-End Fund/ETF Record Date”) are entitled to be present and to vote at the special meeting or any adjournment.

The number of shares of each fund outstanding on the applicable Record Date is shown in Appendix A. Shareholders of each of the Putnam exchange-traded funds (the “Putnam ETFs”) are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value per share of the fund, and shareholders of each of the remaining funds are entitled to one vote per share of the fund, with any fractional dollar amount or fractional share, as applicable, entitled to a proportional fractional vote.

Shares represented by your duly executed proxy card will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If you sign and return the proxy card but don’t fill in a vote, your shares will be voted in accordance with the Board of Trustees’ recommendations. If any other business comes before your fund’s special meeting, your shares will be voted at the discretion of the persons designated on the proxy card.

Shareholders of each fund vote separately with respect to the proposal to approve a new management contract and the proposals to approve each new sub-advisory contract. The outcome of a vote affecting one fund does not affect the outcome of voting for any other fund.

The Proposals

Approving a new Management Contract with Putnam Management for your fund

Background Information

At the special shareholder meeting, you will be asked to approve a new management contract between your fund and its investment adviser, Putnam Management. You are being asked to approve a new management contract for your fund because your fund’s current management contract (its “Current Management Contract” and together with the other funds’ current management contracts with Putnam Management, the “Current Management Contracts”) will terminate upon the consummation of the Transaction. The Transaction is described in more detail below.

The Board of Trustees has concluded that it is in the best interests of your fund’s shareholders to call a special meeting so that shareholders may approve a new management contract with Putnam Management. At an in-person meeting on June 22-23, 2023, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved, and recommend to the shareholders of each fund that they approve, a proposed new management contract with Putnam Management (a “New Management Contract”) for their fund.

If shareholders of your fund approve the New Management Contract for your fund before the consummation of the Transaction, the New Management Contract will become effective upon the consummation of the Transaction. In the event that the Transaction is not consummated, Putnam Management will continue to serve as investment adviser of your fund pursuant to the terms of your fund’s Current Management Contract.

Description of the Transaction

On May 31, 2023, Great-West Lifeco, the parent company of Putnam Holdings, entered into a definitive purchase agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with Franklin Resources, Inc. (“FRI” and, together with its subsidiaries, “Franklin Templeton”) and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of FRI for such subsidiary to acquire Putnam Holdings from Great-West Lifeco. Putnam Holdings is the parent company of Putnam Management, the investment adviser to the funds, and of PIL, PAC, and PanAgora, subadvisers to the funds. Upon consummation of the Transaction, Putnam Management, PIL, and PAC will become indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of FRI. Franklin Templeton is not acquiring PanAgora, which will remain an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco.

Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, subject to certain customary adjustments, Franklin Templeton will pay upfront consideration at closing consisting of 33.33 million shares of Franklin Templeton common stock and $100 million in cash paid six months after closing, and up to $375 million in contingent payments in cash between three and seven years after closing tied to the growth of the Partnership (defined below). Great-West Lifeco has agreed to retain shares of Franklin Templeton common stock representing 4.9% of Franklin Templeton’s total outstanding common stock for a minimum period of five years after closing, and the

remaining shares of Franklin Templeton common stock issued to Great-West Lifeco are subject to a 180-day lock-up.

Certain key employees of Putnam Management and its affiliates that hold vested or unvested class B shares under the Putnam Investments, LLC Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) (which include, among others, Mr. Reynolds, who also serves as President and a Trustee of the funds, and Mses. Malloy and Smith and Messrs. Clark, Lemaire, Tate, and Trenchard, who also serve as officers of the funds), will be entitled to receive certain cash payments in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement and the Plan. Certain key employees that hold class B shares under the Plan have elected (and it is expected that additional employees will elect before the closing) to receive unvested shares of Franklin Templeton’s common stock in lieu of a portion of the cash payments that the employee would have otherwise received at the closing (and the number of shares of Franklin Templeton common stock issued to Great-West Lifeco as described in the paragraph above will be reduced accordingly). As of June 30, 2023, the vested and unvested class B shares held by Mr. Reynolds under the Plan represented approximately 2% of the total outstanding equity interests of Putnam Investments, LLC.

In connection with the Transaction, Great-West Lifeco, Power Corporation of Canada, the parent company of Great-West Lifeco, and Franklin Templeton have entered into a strategic partnership (the “Partnership”) to allocate assets to Franklin Templeton investment products. Great-West Lifeco will provide an initial long-term asset allocation, in the amount of $25 billion in assets under management, to Franklin Templeton’s investment management subsidiaries within 12 months of the Transaction closing, with the potential for that amount to increase over the next several years.

Consummation of the Transaction is subject to certain terms and conditions, including, among others, (i) receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and (ii) consent by advisory clients representing a specified percentage of the revenues of Putnam Management and its affiliates to continue their advisory relationships with Putnam Management (or PIL or PAC) following the consummation of the Transaction. Condition (ii) above effectively requires shareholders of a substantial number of the Putnam funds to approve new management contracts to replace those that will terminate automatically upon consummation of the Transaction, as described below. Subject to satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions, the Transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023.

The Transaction will result in a “change of control” of Putnam Management, PIL, and PAC and will cause the funds’ Current Management Contracts, the sub-advisory contract with PIL, and the sub-advisory contract with PAC to terminate in accordance with the 1940 Act. In addition, although the ultimate parent company of PanAgora will not change as a result of the Transaction, the sub-advisory contract with PanAgora will nonetheless terminate, according to its terms, upon the termination of the management contract with Putnam Management for funds to which PanAgora serves as subadviser.

The Transaction will result in one of the world’s largest independent, specialized global investment managers with approximately [$___] trillion in assets under management (based on Franklin Templeton assets under management and assets under management of the Putnam Holdings subsidiaries involved in the Transaction as of [__]). Assets under management are subject to fluctuation based on market conditions and other factors. The combined organization will offer Putnam Management, PIL, and PAC greater scale and resources, broader distribution capabilities, and new opportunities to grow. Approval of the new management contracts and new sub-advisory contracts will provide continuity of the investment program you selected through your fund investment and will allow the funds’ operations to continue uninterrupted after the Transaction.

Impact on the Investment Advisory Services Provided to Your Fund

The Transaction is not expected to result in any diminution in the nature, extent or quality of the services provided by Putnam Management to your fund and its shareholders. The Transaction also is not expected to result in any diminution in the nature, extent or quality of the services provided by any subadviser to your fund and its shareholders.

While the organizational structure of Putnam Management, PIL, and PAC is not expected to change immediately following the transaction, Franklin Templeton anticipates that Putnam Management’s reporting structure will change. Franklin Templeton currently intends for the equity investment professionals at Putnam Management and its affiliates PIL and PAC to continue to operate largely independently, with the team’s leadership reporting directly to the Head of Public Markets at Franklin Templeton, and Franklin Templeton intends to include the fixed income investment professionals at Putnam Management and its affiliate PIL in Franklin Templeton’s fixed income group and to include Putnam Management’s Global Asset Allocation (“GAA”) investment professionals in Franklin Templeton’s investment solutions group, with both Franklin Templeton groups reporting to Franklin Templeton’s Head of Public Markets.

Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act

Franklin Templeton has agreed to comply with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act. Section 15(f) provides a non-exclusive “safe harbor” for an investment company’s adviser or any affiliated persons of the adviser to receive any amount or benefit in connection with a change of control of the investment adviser as long as two conditions are met. First, for a period of three years after the change of control, at least 75% of the directors of the investment company must not be interested persons of the adviser or the predecessor adviser. Second, there must not be any “unfair burden” imposed on the investment company as a result of the transaction or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings relating to the transaction. Section 15(f) defines “unfair burden” to include any arrangement during the two-year period after the transaction in which the adviser or predecessor adviser, or any interested person of the adviser or predecessor adviser, receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the investment company or its security holders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services) or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the investment company (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter for the investment company).

Putnam Management has advised the funds that neither it, Great-West Lifeco, nor Franklin Templeton, after reasonable inquiry, is aware of any express or implied term, condition, arrangement or understanding that would impose an “unfair burden” on the funds as a result of the Transaction. Moreover, Franklin Templeton has advised the funds that Franklin Templeton will not take, nor cause its affiliates to take, any action that would have the effect of causing the conditions of Section 15(f) not to be met with respect to the Transaction, and Franklin Templeton has advised the funds that Franklin Templeton will not fail to take, and will cause its affiliates not to fail to take, any action if the failure to take such action would have the effect of causing the conditions of Section 15(f) not to be met with respect to the Transaction.

The Interim Management Contracts

Each fund’s Current Management Contract terminates automatically in the event of an “assignment.” If the shareholders of your fund have not approved the New Management Contract for your fund and the Transaction is consummated, an interim management contract between Putnam Management and your fund (an “Interim Management Contract”) will take effect upon the consummation of the Transaction. The Board of Trustees has approved the Interim Management Contract for your fund to allow Putnam Management to continue providing services to your fund for a period of up to 150 days following consummation of the Transaction while shareholder approval of a New Management Contract continues to be sought.

Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act allows an investment company to enter into an interim management contract with a maximum term of 150 days, without first obtaining shareholder approval, so that the investment company may receive investment management services without interruption following the termination by assignment of a previous management contract.

The terms of each fund’s Interim Management Contract are identical to those of its Current Management Contract, except for the term and provisions required under Rule 15a-4, including the escrow provisions described below. If your fund’s Interim Management Contract takes effect upon the consummation of the Transaction, it will continue in effect for a term ending on the earlier of 150 days from the closing of the Transaction (the “150-day period”) or, if shareholders of your fund approve the New Management Contract, the effective date of the New Management Contract. The Board of Trustees or a “majority of the outstanding voting securities,” as defined in the 1940 Act, may terminate the Interim Management Contract on 10 calendar days’ written notice to Putnam Management without the payment of any penalty. Pursuant to Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act, compensation earned by Putnam Management under the Interim Management Contract will be held in an interest-bearing escrow account. If shareholders of your fund approve the New Management Contract before the end of the 150-day period, the amount held in the escrow account under the Interim Management Contract, plus interest earned, will be paid to Putnam Management. If shareholders of your fund do not approve the New Management Contract before the end of the 150-day period, the Board of Trustees will consider what further action to take consistent with their fiduciary duties to the fund, and Putnam Management will be paid the lesser of its costs incurred in performing its services under the Interim Management Contract or the total amount of the escrow account, plus interest earned. The actions considered by the Board of Trustees may include, among other things, negotiating a new management contract with an advisory organization selected by the Board of Trustees, subject to shareholder approval, or taking other appropriate actions.

The New Management Contract; Comparison with your Fund’s Current Management Contract

The terms of the New Management Contracts (described generally below) are identical to those of the current management contracts except for the effective dates, initial term, certain non-substantive changes, and, for certain funds, the addition of a “No Third-Party Beneficiaries” provision. The date of each fund’s Current Management Contract, the date on which it was last submitted to a vote of shareholders, and the purpose of the submission is set forth in Appendix B.

Set forth below is a general description of the New Management Contracts and a comparison of their terms to those of the Current Management Contracts. The complete terms of each New Management Contract are set forth in Appendix C, as follows:

Unless your fund is specifically identified in the “bulleted” paragraphs below, you should refer to Appendix C-1 for a copy of the form of your fund’s New Management Contract.

If you are a shareholder of Putnam Focused International Equity Fund, Putnam Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Putnam International Value Fund, Putnam Small Cap Growth Fund, Putnam International Equity Fund, Putnam Sustainable Leaders Fund, Putnam Large Cap Growth Fund, or Putnam International Capital Opportunities Fund, you should refer to Appendix C-2 for a copy of the form of your fund’s New Management Contract.

If you are a shareholder of Putnam Core Bond Fund or Putnam Short Duration Bond Fund, you should refer to Appendix C-3 for a copy of the form of your fund’s New Management Contract.

If you are a shareholder of Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust or Putnam Municipal Opportunities Trust, you should refer to Appendix C-4 for a copy of the form of your fund’s New Management Contract.

If you are a shareholder of Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust or Putnam Premier Income Trust you should refer to Appendix C-5 for a copy of the form of your fund’s New Management Contract.

If you are a shareholder of the Putnam Retirement Advantage Funds or the Putnam Sustainable Retirement Funds (each a series of Putnam Target Date Funds), you should refer to Appendix C-6 for a copy of the form of your fund’s New Management Contract.

If you are a shareholder of a Putnam ETF (each a series of Putnam ETF Trust), you should refer to Appendix C-7 for a copy of the form of your fund’s New Management Contract.

Fees. There is no change in the rate of the fees that your fund will pay Putnam Management under its New Management Contract. The current fee schedule for investment management services and administrative services for each fund is set forth in Appendix B. The actual fees paid by some funds are subject to expense limitations, which would be unaffected by approval and adoption of a New Management Contract.

Investment Management Services. The New Management Contract for your fund provides that Putnam Management will furnish continuously an investment program for the fund, determining what investments to purchase, hold, sell or exchange and what portion of the fund’s assets will be held uninvested, in compliance with the fund’s governing documents, investment objectives, policies and restrictions, and subject to the oversight and control of the Board of Trustees. As

indicated above, Putnam Management’s responsibilities under the New Management Contracts are identical to those under the Current Management Contracts.

Putnam Management is authorized under your fund’s New Management Contract to place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio investments for your fund with brokers or dealers that Putnam Management selects. Putnam Management must select brokers and dealers, and place orders, using its best efforts to obtain for the funds the most favorable price and execution available, except that Putnam Management may pay higher brokerage commissions if it determines in good faith that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of brokerage and research services provided by the broker or dealer (a practice commonly known as “soft dollars”). Putnam Management may make this determination in terms of either the particular transaction or Putnam Management’s overall responsibilities with respect to your fund and to other clients of Putnam Management for which Putnam Management exercises investment discretion. Putnam Management’s use of soft dollars is subject to policies established by the Board of Trustees from time to time and applicable guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff.

Delegation of Responsibilities. The New Management Contract for your fund expressly provides that Putnam Management may, in its discretion and with the approval of the Board of Trustees (including a majority of the Trustees of the funds who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”)) and, if required, the approval of shareholders, delegate responsibilities under the contract to one or more subadvisers or sub-administrators. The separate costs of employing any subadviser or sub-administrator must be borne by Putnam Management or the subadviser or sub-administrator, not by your fund. Putnam Management is responsible for overseeing the performance of any subadviser or sub-administrator and remains fully responsible to your fund under the New Management Contract regardless of whether it delegates any responsibilities.

At present, Putnam Management has entered into a sub-advisory contract where it may delegate certain responsibilities for the management of each fund, other than Putnam PanAgora ESG Emerging Markets Equity ETF and Putnam PanAgora ESG International Equity ETF, to PIL, an affiliated subadviser. Putnam Management and PIL have further entered into a sub-advisory contract where Putnam Management may delegate certain responsibilities for the management of the funds identified in Appendix D-2 to PAC, an affiliated subadviser. Putnam Management has also entered into a sub-advisory contract delegating certain responsibilities for the management of the funds identified in Appendix D-3 to PanAgora, which is currently an affiliated subadviser. As a result of the Transaction, the sub-advisory contracts with PIL, PAC, and PanAgora will terminate. The Board of Trustees is recommending that shareholders vote to approve new sub-advisory contracts with each fund’s subadviser(s), as is discussed in detail under Proposal 2.

Administrative Services. Like its Current Management Contract, your fund’s New Management Contract provides that Putnam Management will manage, supervise and conduct the other (i.e., non-investment) affairs and business of your fund and incidental matters. These administrative services include providing suitable office space for the fund and administrative facilities, such as bookkeeping, clerical personnel and equipment necessary for the efficient conduct of the fund’s affairs, including determination of the net asset value of the fund, but excluding shareholder accounting services.

Putnam Management has currently delegated certain administrative, pricing and bookkeeping services to State Street Bank and Trust Company.

Expenses. Like its Current Management Contract, your fund’s New Management Contract requires Putnam Management to bear the expenses associated with (i) furnishing all necessary investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel, required for it to execute its duties faithfully, (ii) providing suitable office space for the fund and (iii) providing administrative services.

Like their Current Management Contracts, the New Management Contracts for funds other than those identified in Appendix C-3 and Appendix C-7, also provide that each of these funds will pay the fees of its Trustees and will reimburse Putnam Management for compensation paid to officers and persons assisting officers of the fund, and all or part of the cost of suitable office space, utilities, support services and equipment used by such officers and persons, as the Board of Trustees may determine. Each of these funds will bear the costs of the Board of Trustees’ independent staff, which assists the Board of Trustees in overseeing each of the funds.

Like their Current Management Contracts, the New Management Contracts for those funds identified in Appendix C-3 and Appendix C-7 also require Putnam Management to bear the expenses of all these funds’ organizational and other operating expenses, excluding certain expenses such as 12b-1 fees, brokerage, interest, taxes, investment-related expenses, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses.

Term and Termination. If approved by shareholders before the consummation of the Transaction, your fund’s New Management Contract will go into effect for a two-year period beginning on the date the Transaction is consummated. Thereafter, if not terminated, the New Management Contract will continue in effect from year to year if its continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the Board of Trustees or the shareholders of the fund by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the fund and (ii) a majority of the Independent Trustees, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on approval. The Current Management Contracts have similar provisions for their term and continuance, although the initial term has elapsed in most cases .

Like its Current Management Contract, your fund’s New Management Contract provides that it may be terminated at any time by either Putnam Management or the fund by not less than 60 days’ written notice to the other party and without the payment of any penalty by Putnam Management or the fund. The fund may terminate the contract by vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees or by the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the fund, as defined in the 1940 Act. Your fund’s New Management Contract also will terminate automatically in the event of its “assignment.”

Proxy Voting. Like their Current Management Contracts, the New Management Contracts for certain funds, identified in Appendix C-7, require Putnam Management to vote all proxies solicited by or with respect to issuers of securities in which assets of the fund may be invested in accordance with its proxy voting policy. Putnam Management currently provides this service for all funds, whether or not expressly required by a particular fund’s Current Management Contract.

Limitation of Liability. Like its Current Management Contract, under your fund’s New Management Contract, Putnam Management is not liable to the fund or to any shareholder of the fund for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services under the New Management Contract, unless there is willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of Putnam Management or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the New Management Contract.

As required under the Declaration of Trust for each fund other than the Putnam ETFs, the New Management Contracts, like the Current Management Contracts, contain a notice provision stating that the fund’s Declaration of Trust is on file with the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and that the New Management Contract is executed on behalf of the Trustees as Trustees of the fund and not individually. Also, the fund’s obligations arising out of the New Management Contract are limited only to the assets and property of the fund and are not binding on any of the Trustees, officers or shareholders individually.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Current Management Contracts for certain, more recently established funds include a provision specifying that there are no third-party beneficiaries of the management contracts. This provision states that no shareholder, or any person other than the named funds and Putnam Management, is a party to the management contract or entitled to any right or benefit arising under or in respect of the management contract. The Current Management Contracts for other funds do not include this “no third-party beneficiaries” provision. The proposed New Management Contracts for all funds, except for the Putnam Closed-End Funds, will include the “no third-party beneficiaries” provision, consistent with the Current Management Contracts for more recently established funds. A list of the funds for which this provision will be added is provided in Appendix C-8.

Amendments; Defined Terms. Like your fund’s Current Management Contract, its New Management Contract may only be amended in writing, and any amendment must be approved in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations under the 1940 Act and any applicable guidance or interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff. Similarly, certain terms used in the New Management Contract are used as defined in the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations under the 1940 Act and any applicable guidance or interpretation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff.

What did the Board of Trustees consider in evaluating the New Management Contracts?

The Independent Trustees met with their independent legal counsel and representatives of Putnam Management and its parent company, Power Corporation of Canada, to discuss the potential Transaction, including the timing and structure of the Transaction and its implications for Putnam

Management and the funds, during their regular meeting on November 18, 2022, and the full Board of Trustees further discussed these matters with representatives of Putnam Management at its regular meeting on December 15, 2022. At a special meeting on December 20, 2022, the full Board of Trustees met with representatives of Putnam Management, Power Corporation of Canada, and Franklin Templeton to further discuss the potential Transaction, including Franklin Templeton’s strategic plans for Putnam Management’s asset management business and the funds, potential sources of synergy between Franklin Templeton and Putnam Management, potential areas of partnership between Power Corporation of Canada and Franklin Templeton, Franklin Templeton’s distribution capabilities, Franklin Templeton’s existing service provider relationships, and Franklin Templeton’s recent acquisitions of other asset management firms.

In order to assist the Independent Trustees in their consideration of the New Management Contracts and other anticipated impacts of the Transaction on the funds and their shareholders, independent legal counsel for the Independent Trustees furnished an initial information request to Franklin Templeton (the “Initial Franklin Request”). At a special meeting of the full Board of Trustees held on January 25, 2023, representatives of Franklin Templeton addressed the firm’s responses to the Initial Franklin Request. At the meeting, representatives of Franklin Templeton discussed, among other things, the business and financial condition of Franklin Templeton and its affiliates, Franklin Templeton’s U.S. registered fund operations, its recent acquisition history, Franklin Templeton’s intentions regarding the operation of Putnam Management and the funds following the completion of the potential Transaction, and expected benefits to the funds and Putnam Management that might result from the Transaction.

The Board of Trustees actively monitored developments with respect to the potential Transaction throughout the period leading up to the public announcement of a final sale agreement on May 31, 2023. The Independent Trustees met to discuss these matters at their regular meetings on January 27, April 20, and May 19, 2023. The full Board of Trustees also discussed developments at their regular meeting on February 23, 2023. Following the public announcement of the Transaction on May 31, 2023, independent legal counsel for the Independent Trustees furnished a supplemental information request (the “Supplemental Franklin Request”) to Franklin Templeton. At the Board of Trustees’ regular in-person meeting held on June 22-23, 2023, representatives of Putnam Management and Power Corporation of Canada provided further information regarding, among other matters, the final terms of the Transaction and efforts undertaken to retain Putnam employees. The Contract Committee of the Board of Trustees also met on June 22, 2023 to discuss Franklin Templeton’s responses to the Supplemental Franklin Request. Mr. Reynolds, the only Trustee affiliated with Putnam Management, participated in portions of these meetings to provide the perspective of the Putnam organization, but did not otherwise participate in the deliberations of the Independent Trustees or the Contract Committee regarding the potential Transaction.

After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials provided, the Independent Trustees met at their in-person meeting on June 23, 2023 to consider the New Management Contracts for each fund, proposed to become effective upon the closing of the Transaction, and the filing of a preliminary proxy statement. At this meeting and throughout the process, the Independent Trustees also received advice from their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities in evaluating the potential Transaction and the New Management Contracts. The Independent Trustees reviewed the terms of the proposed New Management Contracts and the differences between the New Management Contracts and the current management contracts. They

noted that the terms of the proposed New Management Contracts were substantially identical to the current management contracts, except for certain changes designed largely to address differences among various of the existing contracts, which had been developed and implemented at different times in the past. (These differences are described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.)

In considering the approval of the proposed New Management Contracts, the Board of Trustees took into account a number of factors, including:⁴

(i)

Franklin Templeton’s and Putnam Management’s belief that the Transaction will not adversely affect the funds or their shareholders and their belief that the Transaction is likely to result in certain benefits (described below) for the funds and their shareholders;

(ii)

That Franklin Templeton did not intend to make any material change in Putnam Management’s senior investment professionals (other than certain changes related to reporting structure and organization of personnel discussed below), including the portfolio managers of the funds, or to the firm’s operating locations as a result of the Transaction;

(iii)

That Franklin Templeton intended for Putnam Management’s equity investment professionals to continue to operate largely independently from Franklin Templeton, reporting to Franklin Templeton’s Head of Public Markets following the Transaction;

(iv)

That, while Putnam Management’s organizational structure is not expected to change immediately following the Transaction, Franklin Templeton intended to revise Putnam Management’s reporting structure in order to include Putnam Management’s fixed income investment professionals in Franklin Templeton’s fixed income group and to include Putnam Management’s GAA investment professionals in Franklin Templeton’s investment solutions group, with both Franklin Templeton groups reporting to Franklin Templeton’s Head of Public Markets;

(v)

Franklin Templeton’s expectation that there would not be any changes in the investment objectives, strategies, or portfolio holdings of the funds as a result of the Transaction;

(vi)

That neither Franklin Templeton nor Putnam Management had any current plans to propose changes to the funds’ existing management fees or expense limitations, or current plans to make changes to the funds’ existing distribution arrangements;

(vii)

Franklin Templeton’s and Putnam Management’s representations that, following the Transaction, there is not expected to be any diminution in the nature, quality, and extent of services provided to the funds and their shareholders by Putnam Management and PIL, PAC, and PanAgora, as applicable, including compliance and other non-advisory services;

⁴ All references to Putnam Management in this section describing the Board of Trustees’ considerations should be deemed to include references to PIL and PAC as necessary or appropriate in the context.

(viii)

That PanAgora was not a part of the Transaction and, therefore, PanAgora would remain an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco, with no expected material changes in PanAgora’s senior investment professionals, including the portfolio managers of the applicable funds;

(ix)

That Franklin Templeton did not currently plan to change the branding of the funds or to change the lineup of funds in connection with the Transaction but will continue to evaluate how best to position the funds in the market;

(x)

The possible benefits accruing to the funds and their shareholders as a result of the Transaction, including:

a. That the scale of Franklin Templeton’s investment operations platform would increase the investment and operational resources available to the funds;

b. That the funds would benefit from Franklin Templeton’s large retail and institutional global distribution capabilities and significant network of intermediary relationships, which may provide additional opportunities for the funds to increase assets and reduce expenses by spreading expenses over a larger asset base; and

c. Potential benefits to shareholders of the funds that could result from the alignment of certain fund features and shareholder benefits with those of other funds sponsored by Franklin Templeton and its affiliates and access to a broader array of investment opportunities;

(xi)

The financial strength, reputation, experience, and resources of Franklin Templeton and its investment advisory subsidiaries;

(xii)

Franklin Templeton’s expectation that the Transaction would not impact the capabilities or responsibilities of Putnam Management’s Investment Division (other than any impact related to reporting structure changes for Putnam Management’s equity, fixed income, and GAA investment groups and to including Putnam Management’s fixed income and GAA investment professionals in existing Franklin Templeton investment groups, as discussed above) and that any changes to the Investment Division over the longer term would be made in order to achieve any perceived operational efficiencies or improvements to the portfolio management process;

(xiii)

Franklin Templeton’s commitment to maintaining competitive compensation arrangements to allow Putnam Management to continue to attract and retain highly qualified personnel and its efforts to retain personnel, including efforts implemented since the Transaction was announced;

(xiv)

That the current senior management teams at Putnam Management and Power Corporation of Canada have indicated their strong support of the Transaction and that Putnam Management has recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the New Management Contracts; and

(xv)

Putnam Management’s and Great-West Lifeco’s commitment to bear all expenses incurred by the funds in connection with the Transaction, including all costs associated with this proxy solicitation.

Finally, in considering the proposed New Management Contracts, the Board of Trustees also took into account their concurrent deliberations and conclusions in connection with their annual review of the funds’ current management contracts and the approval of their continuance, effective July 1, 2023, and the extensive materials that they had reviewed in connection with that review process. Appendix E contains a summary description of the matters considered by the Board of Trustees in connection with those approvals. The considerations discussed in Appendix E and in this section also apply to the Board of Trustees’ consideration of the Interim Management Contracts discussed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.

Based upon the foregoing considerations, on June 23, 2023 the Board of Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the proposed New Management Contracts and determined to recommend their approval to the shareholders of the funds.

What is the voting requirement for approving the proposal?

Shareholder approval of your fund’s proposed New Management Contract requires the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the fund, which is defined under the 1940 Act to be the lesser of (a) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the fund, or (b) 67% or more of the shares of the fund present (in person or by proxy) at the special meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the fund are present at the meeting in person or by proxy. The Board of Trustees unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the proposed New Management Contracts.

2a.

Approving a new Sub-Management Contract between Putnam Management and PIL for your fund

Background Information

Under each Current Management Contract, Putnam Management may, in its discretion and with the approval of the Board of Trustees (including a majority of the Independent Trustees) and, if required, the approval of shareholders, delegate its advisory responsibilities to one or more subadvisers.

At present, Putnam Management has entered into sub-advisory contracts with PIL, an affiliated subadviser (the “Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contracts”), for each fund, other than Putnam PanAgora ESG Emerging Markets Equity ETF and Putnam PanAgora ESG International Equity ETF. Under the Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contracts, Putnam Management may delegate to PIL certain responsibilities for the management of all or a portion of a fund’s assets as determined by Putnam Management (a “PIL Allocated Sleeve”). PIL, which provides a full range of international investment advisory services to institutional clients, is located at 16 St James’s Street, London, England, SW1A 1ER. Pursuant to the Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contracts, Putnam investment professionals who are based in the United Kingdom may serve as portfolio

managers of or provide other investment services to a fund, consistent with local regulations. Under the Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contracts, Putnam Management (and not the funds) pays a quarterly sub-advisory fee to PIL for its services at the rates set forth in Appendix D-1.

As noted above in Proposal 1, the Transaction will result in an “assignment” of the Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contracts and will cause the Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contracts to terminate in accordance with applicable law.

At an in-person meeting on June 22-23, 2023, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved a proposed new sub-advisory contract between Putnam Management and PIL (the “New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract”) for each applicable fund. Consistent with current law and interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff, it may not be necessary for shareholders to approve the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract. However, notwithstanding that shareholder approval may not be required, the Board of Trustees has determined to seek shareholder approval of the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract and to recommend to the shareholders of each applicable fund that they approve the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract.

If shareholders of your fund approve the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract before the consummation of the Transaction, the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract will become effective with respect to your fund upon the consummation of the Transaction. In the event that the Transaction is not consummated, PIL will continue to serve as a subadviser of your fund pursuant to the terms of the Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund.

* Impact of the Transaction on the Sub-Advisory Services Provided to Your Fund

The Transaction is not expected to result in any diminution in the nature, extent or quality of the services provided by PIL to your fund and its shareholders.

The Interim Sub-Advisory Contract

If the shareholders of your fund do not approve the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract and the Transaction is consummated, an interim sub-advisory contract between Putnam Management and PIL (the “Interim PIL Sub-Advisory Contract”) will take effect for your fund upon the consummation of the Transaction. The Board of Trustees has approved the Interim PIL Sub-Advisory Contract to allow PIL to continue providing services to your fund while shareholder approval of the New PIL Sub-Advisory contract continues to be sought.

The terms of the Interim PIL Sub-Advisory Contract are identical to those of the Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contracts, except for the term and escrow provisions described below. The Interim PIL Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund will continue in effect for a term ending on the earlier of 150 days from the closing of the Transaction (the “150-day period”) or, if shareholders of your fund approve the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract, the effective date of the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract. The Board of Trustees or a “majority of the outstanding voting securities,” as

defined in the 1940 Act, may terminate the Interim PIL Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund on 10 calendar days’ written notice to PIL without the payment of any penalty. Pursuant to Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act, compensation earned by PIL under the Interim PIL Sub-Advisory Contract will be held in an interest-bearing escrow account. (As noted below, the funds, including your fund, do not compensate PIL for its services. That compensation is paid by Putnam Management.) If shareholders of your fund approve the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract before the end of the 150-day period, the amount held in the escrow account under the Interim PIL Sub-Advisory Contract will be paid to PIL. If shareholders of your fund do not approve the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract prior to the end of the 150-day period, the Board of Trustees will consider what further action to take consistent with their fiduciary duties to the fund, and PIL will be paid the lesser of its costs incurred in performing its services under the Interim PIL Sub-Advisory Contract or the total amount of the escrow account, plus interest earned. The actions considered by the Board of Trustees may include, among other things, determining (to the extent consistent with current law and interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff) that shareholder approval is not required with respect to the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract, having the fund managed without a sub-adviser, or making other appropriate arrangements.

The New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract; Comparison with the Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contract

The terms of the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract (described generally below) are identical to those of the Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contracts, except for the effective dates, initial term, and certain non-substantive changes. The start date of each applicable fund’s Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contract, the date on which each applicable fund’s Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contract was last submitted to a vote of shareholders, and the purpose of the submission is set forth in Appendix D-1.

Set forth below is a general description of the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract and a comparison of its terms to those of the Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund. The complete terms of the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract are set forth in Appendix F-1.

Fees. There is no change in the rate of the fees payable to PIL under the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract. The funds, including your fund, do not compensate PIL for its services. That compensation is paid by Putnam Management. The current fee schedule for investment sub-advisory services provided by PIL for each applicable fund is set forth in Appendix D-1.

Investment Sub-Advisory Services. Like the Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund, the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund provides that PIL will furnish continuously an investment program for a PIL Allocated Sleeve, determining what investments to purchase, hold, sell or exchange and what portion of the PIL Allocated Sleeve assets will be held uninvested, in compliance with the fund’s governing documents, investment objectives, policies and restrictions, and subject to the oversight and control of the Board of Trustees and Putnam Management. Putnam Management may also request PIL to assist with purchasing and selling securities for any fund, including the placement of orders with broker-dealers selected in accordance with the sub-advisory contract, even if Putnam Management has not established a PIL Allocated Sleeve for the fund. As indicated above, PIL’s responsibilities under the New PIL

Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund are identical to those under the Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund.

Like the Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund, if requested by Putnam Management, PIL is authorized under the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract to place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio investments for any PIL Allocated Sleeve of your fund with brokers or dealers that PIL selects. PIL must select brokers and dealers, and place orders, using its best efforts to obtain for the funds the most favorable price and execution available, except that PIL may pay higher brokerage commissions if it determines in good faith that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of brokerage and research services provided by the broker or dealer (a practice commonly known as “soft dollars”) and the services qualify as “minor non-monetary benefits” under the rules of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”). PIL may make this determination in terms of either the particular transaction or its overall responsibilities for a fund and to other clients of Putnam Management or PIL for which Putnam Management or PIL exercises investment discretion. Putnam Management’s and PIL’s use of soft dollars is subject to policies established by the Board of Trustees from time to time and applicable guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff and the FCA.

Expenses. Like the Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund, the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract requires PIL to bear the expenses associated with furnishing all necessary investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel, required for it to execute its duties faithfully.

Term and Termination. If approved by shareholders before the consummation of the Transaction, the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund will go into effect for a two-year period beginning on the date the Transaction is consummated. Thereafter, if not terminated, the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract will continue in effect from year to year if its continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) the Board of Trustees or the shareholders of the fund by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the fund and (ii) a majority of the Independent Trustees, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the contract’s approval. The Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contracts have similar provisions for their term and continuance, although the initial term has elapsed in most cases .

Like the Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund, the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund provides that the contract may be terminated at any time by Putnam Management or PIL with not more than 60 days’, nor less than 30 days’, written notice to the other party and without the payment of any penalty. Your fund may also terminate the contract with respect to services provided to your fund by vote of a majority of its Trustees or by the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the fund, as defined in the 1940 Act, with not more than 60 days’, nor less than 30 days’, written notice to Putnam Management and PIL, and without the payment of any penalty. The New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract also will terminate automatically in the event of its “assignment” or upon the termination of Putnam Management’s management contract with a fund.

Limitation of Liability. Like the Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund, under the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund, PIL is not liable to Putnam Management, your fund or to any shareholder of your fund for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services under the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract, unless there is willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of PIL or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the proposed sub-advisory contract.

Amendments; Defined Terms. Like the Current PIL Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund, any amendment to the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract must be approved at a meeting by the vote, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the amendment’s approval, of a majority of the Independent Trustees. Certain terms used in the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract are used as defined in the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations under the 1940 Act and any applicable guidance or interpretation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff.

What did the Board of Trustees consider in evaluating the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract?

At the meetings held on June 22-23, 2023, at which the Board of Trustees approved your fund’s New Management Contract, the Board of Trustees (including a majority of the Independent Trustees), also approved new sub-advisory contracts with each of your fund’s subadvisers, including the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract. The Board of Trustees’ considerations regarding a new sub-advisory contract with respect to PIL are discussed in Proposal 1 above.

What is the voting requirement for approving the proposal?

Shareholder approval of your fund’s New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract will be obtained if the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the fund is received, which is defined under the 1940 Act to be the lesser of (a) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the fund, or (b) 67% or more of the shares of the fund present (in person or by proxy) at the special meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the fund are present at the meeting in person or by proxy. The Board of Trustees unanimously recommend that shareholders vote FOR the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract.

2b.

Approving a new Sub-Advisory Contract among Putnam Management, PIL, and PAC for your fund

Background Information

At present, Putnam Management and PIL have entered into a sub-advisory contract with PAC, an affiliated subadviser (the “Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract”), for each fund included in Appendix D-2 pursuant to which Putnam Management or PIL, as the case may be, may delegate to PAC certain responsibilities for the management of all or a portion of a fund’s assets as determined by Putnam Management or PIL, as the case may be (a “PAC Allocated Sleeve”). PAC, which provides financial services to institutions and individuals through separately managed accounts and pooled investment vehicles, has its headquarters at 100 Federal Street, Boston, MA 02110, with additional investment management personnel located in Singapore. Pursuant to the Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract, Putnam investment professionals who are based in Singapore may serve as portfolio managers of or provide other investment services to a fund, consistent with local regulations. Under the Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract, Putnam Management or PIL, as the case may be (and not the funds), pays a quarterly sub-advisory fee to PAC for its services at the rates set forth in Appendix D-2.

As noted above in Proposal 1, the Transaction will result in an “assignment” of the Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract for each fund and will cause the Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract for each fund to terminate in accordance with applicable law.

At an in-person meeting on June 22-23, 2023, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved, and recommend to the shareholders of each applicable fund that they approve, a proposed new sub-advisory contract between Putnam Management, PIL, and PAC (the “New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract”). Consistent with current law and interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff, it may not be necessary for shareholders to approve the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract. However, notwithstanding that shareholder approval may not be required, the Board of Trustees has determined to seek shareholder approval of the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract and to recommend to the shareholders of each applicable fund that they approve the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract for their fund.

If shareholders of your fund approve the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract before the consummation of the Transaction, the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract will become effective upon the consummation of the Transaction. In the event that the Transaction is not consummated, PAC will continue to serve a subadviser of your fund pursuant to the terms of the Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract.

* Impact of the Transaction on the Sub-Advisory Services Provided to Your Fund

The Transaction is not expected to result in any diminution in the nature, extent or quality of the services provided by PAC to your fund and its shareholders.

The Interim Sub-Advisory Contract

If your fund is included in Appendix D-2, the shareholders of your fund do not approve the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract, and the Transaction is consummated, an interim sub-advisory contract among Putnam Management, PIL, and PAC (the “Interim PAC Sub-Advisory Contract”) for your fund will take effect upon the consummation of the Transaction. The Board of Trustees has approved the Interim PAC Sub-Advisory Contract to allow PAC to continue

providing services to a fund while shareholder approval of the new PAC sub-advisory contract continues to be sought.

The terms of the Interim PAC Sub-Advisory Contract are identical to those of the Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract, except for the term and escrow provisions described below. The Interim PAC Sub-Advisory Contract will continue in effect for a term ending on the earlier of 150 days from the closing of the Transaction (the “150-day period”) or, if shareholders of your fund approve the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract, the effective date of the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract. The Board of Trustees or a “majority of the outstanding voting securities,” as defined in the 1940 Act, may terminate the Interim PAC Sub-Advisory Contract on 10 calendar days’ written notice to PAC without the payment of any penalty. Pursuant to Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act, compensation earned by PAC under the Interim PAC Sub-Advisory Contract will be held in an interest-bearing escrow account. If shareholders of your fund approve the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract prior to the end of the 150-day period, the amount held in the escrow account under the Interim PAC Sub-Advisory Contract will be paid to PAC. If shareholders of your fund do not approve the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract prior to the end of the 150-day period, the Board of Trustees will consider what further action to take consistent with their fiduciary duties to the fund, and PAC will be paid the lesser of its costs incurred in performing its services under the Interim PAC Sub-Advisory Contract or the total amount of the escrow account, plus interest earned. The actions considered by the Board of Trustees may include, among other things, determining (to the extent consistent with current law and interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff) that shareholder approval is not required with respect to the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract, having the fund managed without a sub-adviser, or making other appropriate arrangements.

The New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract; Comparison with the Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract

The terms of the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract (described generally below) are identical to those of the Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract, except for the effective dates, initial term, and certain non-substantive changes. The start date of the Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract for each applicable fund, the date on which the Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract was last submitted to a vote of shareholders of each applicable fund, and the purpose of the submission is set forth in Appendix D-2.

Set forth below is a general description of the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract and a comparison of its terms to those of the Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract. The complete terms of the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract are set forth in Appendix F-2.

Fees. There is no change in the rate of the fees payable to PAC under the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract. The funds, including your fund, do not compensate PAC for its services. That compensation is paid by Putnam Management or PIL, as the case may be. The current fee

schedule for investment sub-advisory services provided by PAC for each fund is set forth in Appendix D-2.

Investment Sub-Advisory Services. Like the Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund, the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund provides that PAC will furnish continuously an investment program for a PAC Allocated Sleeve, determining what investments to purchase, hold, sell or exchange and what portion of the PAC Allocated Sleeve assets will be held uninvested, in compliance with the fund’s governing documents, investment objectives, policies and restrictions, and subject to the oversight and control of the Board of Trustees and Putnam Management. Putnam Management or PIL, as the case may be, may also request PAC to assist with purchasing and selling securities for any fund, including the placement of orders with broker-dealers selected in accordance with the sub-advisory contract, even if Putnam Management has not established a PAC Allocated Sleeve for the fund. As indicated above, PAC’s responsibilities under the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund are identical to those under the Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund.

Like the Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract, if requested by Putnam Management, PAC is authorized under the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract to place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio investments for any PAC Allocated Sleeve of your fund with brokers or dealers that PAC selects. PAC must select brokers and dealers, and place orders, using its best efforts to obtain for the funds the most favorable price and execution available, except that PAC may pay higher brokerage commissions if it determines in good faith that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of brokerage and research services provided by the broker or dealer (a practice commonly known as “soft dollars”). PAC may make this determination in terms of either the particular transaction or its overall responsibilities with respect to a fund and to other clients of Putnam Management, PIL, or PAC for which Putnam Management, PIL, or PAC exercises investment discretion. Putnam Management’s, PIL’s, and PAC’s use of soft dollars is subject to policies established by the Board of Trustees from time to time and applicable guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff and, in the case of PIL, the FCA.

Expenses. Like the Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund, the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract requires PAC to bear the expenses associated with furnishing all necessary investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel, required for it to execute its duties faithfully.

Term and Termination. If approved by shareholders before the consummation of the Transaction, the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund will go into effect for a two-year period beginning on the date the Transaction is consummated. Thereafter, if not terminated, the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract will continue in effect from year to year if its continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) the Board of Trustees or the shareholders of the fund by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the fund and (ii) a majority of the Independent Trustees, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the contract’s approval. The Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract has similar provisions for its term and continuance, although the initial term has elapsed in most cases .

Like the Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund, the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund provides that the contract may be terminated at any time by Putnam Management, PIL, or PAC with not more than 60 days’, nor less than 30 days’, written notice to the other parties and without the payment of any penalty. Your fund may also terminate the contract with respect to services provided to your fund by vote of a majority of its Trustees or by the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the fund, as defined in the 1940 Act, with not more than 60 days’, nor less than 30 days’, written notice to Putnam Management and PIL, and without the payment of any penalty. The New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract also will terminate automatically in the event of its “assignment” or upon the termination of Putnam Management’s management contract with a fund.

Limitation of Liability. Like the Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund, under the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund, PAC is not liable to Putnam Management, PIL, the fund or to any shareholder of the fund for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services under the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract, unless there is willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of PAC or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the proposed sub-advisory contract.

Amendments; Defined Terms. Like the Current PAC Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund, any amendment to the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract must be approved at a meeting by the vote, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the amendment’s approval, of a majority of the Independent Trustees. Certain terms used in the New PIL Sub-Advisory Contract are used as defined in the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations under the 1940 Act and any applicable guidance or interpretation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff.

What did the Board of Trustees consider in evaluating the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract?

At the meetings held on June 22-23, 2023, at which the Board of Trustees approved your fund’s New Management Contract, the Board of Trustees (including a majority of the Independent Trustees), also approved new sub-advisory contracts with each of your fund’s subadvisers, including the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract. The Board of Trustees’ considerations regarding a new sub-advisory contract with respect to PAC are discussed in Proposal 1 above.

What is the voting requirement for approving the proposal?

Shareholder approval of your fund’s New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract will be obtained if the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the fund is received, which is defined under the 1940 Act to be the lesser of (a) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the fund, or (b) 67% or more of the shares of the fund present (in person or by proxy) at the special meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the fund are present at the meeting in person or by proxy. The Board of Trustees unanimously recommend that shareholders vote FOR the New PAC Sub-Advisory Contract.

Approving a new Subadvisory Agreement between Putnam Management and PanAgora for your fund

Background Information

At present, Putnam Management has entered into a sub-advisory contract with PanAgora, an affiliated subadviser (the “Current PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract”), for each fund included in Appendix D-3 – namely Putnam PanAgora ESG International Equity ETF and Putnam PanAgora ESG Emerging Markets Equity ETF – pursuant to which that PanAgora will furnish continuously an investment program for the portion of the fund’s assets determined by Putnam Management (the “Portfolio”). PanAgora, which provides financial services to institutions and individuals through separately managed accounts and pooled investment vehicles, is located at One International Place, 24^th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02110. Under the Current PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract, Putnam Management (and not the funds) pays a quarterly sub-advisory fee to PanAgora for its services at the rates set forth in Appendix D-3.

As noted above in Proposal 1, Franklin Templeton is not acquiring PanAgora in the Transaction, and PanAgora will remain an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco. Although the ultimate parent company of PanAgora is not expected to change as a result of the Transaction, the Current PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract will nonetheless terminate, according to its terms, upon the termination of the Current Management Contract between Putnam Management and each fund listed on Appendix D-3.

At an in-person meeting on June 22-23, 2023, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved, and recommend to the shareholders of each fund included in Appendix D-3 that they approve, a proposed new sub-advisory contract between Putnam Management and PanAgora (the “New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract”).

If shareholders of your fund approve the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract before the consummation of the Transaction, the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract will become effective upon the consummation of the Transaction. In the event that the Transaction is not consummated, PanAgora will continue to serve as subadviser of your fund pursuant to the terms of the Current PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract.

* Impact of the Transaction on the Sub-Advisory Services Provided to Your Fund

The Transaction is not expected to result in any diminution in the nature, extent or quality of the services provided by PanAgora to your fund and its shareholders.

The Interim Sub-Advisory Contract

If the shareholders of your fund do not approve the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract and the Transaction is consummated, an interim management contract between Putnam Management

and PanAgora (the “Interim PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract”) will take effect upon the closing of the Transaction. The Board of Trustees has approved the Interim PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract to allow PanAgora to continue providing services to a fund while shareholder approval of a new sub-advisory contract continues to be sought.

The terms of the Interim PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract are identical to those of the Current PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract, except for the term and escrow provisions described below. The Interim PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract will continue in effect for a term ending on the earlier of 150 days from the closing of the Transaction (the “150-day period”) or, if shareholders of your fund approve the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract, the effective date of the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract. The Board of Trustees or a “majority of the outstanding voting securities,” as defined in the 1940 Act, may terminate the Interim PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract on 10 calendar days’ written notice to PanAgora without the payment of any penalty. Pursuant to Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act, compensation earned by PanAgora under the Interim PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract will be held in an interest-bearing escrow account. If shareholders of your fund approve the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract prior to the end of the 150-day period, the amount held in the escrow account under the Interim PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract will be paid to PanAgora. If shareholders of your fund do not approve the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract prior to the end of the 150-day period, the Board of Trustees will consider what further action to take consistent with their fiduciary duties to the fund, and PanAgora will be paid the lesser of its costs incurred in performing its services under the Interim PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract or the total amount of the escrow account, plus interest earned. These actions may include, among other things, negotiating a new management contract with an advisory organization selected by the Board of Trustees, subject to shareholder approval, or having the fund managed without a sub-adviser.

The New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract; Comparison with the Current PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract

The terms of the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract (described generally below) are identical to those of the Current PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract except for the effective dates, initial term, and certain non-substantive changes. The start date of the Current PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract for each applicable fund, the date on which the Current PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract was last submitted to a vote of shareholders for each applicable fund, and the purpose of the submission is set forth in Appendix D-3.

Set forth below is a general description of the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract and a comparison of its terms to those of the Current PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract. The complete terms of the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract are set forth in Appendix F-3.

Fees. There is no change in the rate of the fees payable to PanAgora under the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract. The funds do not compensate PanAgora for its services. That compensation is paid by Putnam Management. The current fee schedule for investment sub-advisory services provided by PanAgora for each fund is set forth in Appendix D-3.

Investment Sub-Advisory Services. Like the Current PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund, the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract provides that PanAgora will furnish continuously an investment program for a Portfolio, determining what investments to purchase, hold, sell or exchange and what portion of Portfolio assets will be held uninvested, in compliance with the fund’s governing documents, investment objectives, policies and restrictions, and subject to the oversight and control of the Board of Trustees and Putnam Management. As indicated above, PanAgora’s responsibilities under the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract are identical to those under the Current PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract.

PanAgora is authorized under the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract to place orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio investments for each applicable fund with brokers or dealers that PanAgora selects. PanAgora must select brokers and dealers, and place orders, using its best efforts to obtain for the funds the most favorable price and execution available, except that PanAgora may pay higher brokerage commissions if it determines in good faith that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of brokerage and research services provided by the broker or dealer (a practice commonly known as “soft dollars”). PanAgora’s use of soft dollars is subject to its internal policies in effect from time to time and applicable guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff.

Expenses. Like the Current PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund, the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract requires PanAgora to bear the expenses associated with furnishing all necessary investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel, required for it to execute its duties faithfully.

Term and Termination. If approved by shareholders before the consummation of the Transaction, the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund will go into effect for a two-year period beginning on the date the Transaction is consummated. Thereafter, if not terminated, the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract will continue in effect from year to year if its continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) the Board of Trustees or the shareholders of the fund by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the fund and (ii) a majority of the Independent Trustees, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the contract’s approval. The Current PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract has similar provisions for its term and continuance.

Like the Current PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract, the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract provides that the contract may be terminated at any time by Putnam Management or PanAgora with not more than 60 days’, nor less than 30 days’, written notice to the other party and without the payment of any penalty. Your fund may also terminate the contract with respect to services to provided to your fund by vote of a majority of its Trustees or by the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the fund, as defined in the 1940 Act, with not more than 60 days’, nor less than 30 days’, written notice to Putnam Management and PanAgora and without the payment of any penalty. The New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract also will

terminate automatically in the event of its “assignment” or upon the termination of Putnam Management’s management contract with a fund.

Limitation of Liability. Like the Current PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund, under the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract, PanAgora is not liable to Putnam Management, your fund, or to any shareholder of your fund for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services under the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract, unless there is willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of PanAgora or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract.

Amendments; Defined Terms. Like the Current PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract for your fund, any amendment to the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract must be approved at a meeting by the vote, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the amendment’s approval, of a majority of the Independent Trustees. Certain terms used in the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract are used as defined in the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations under the 1940 Act and any applicable guidance or interpretation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff.

What did the Board of Trustees consider in evaluating the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract?

At the meetings held on June 22-23, 2023, at which the Board of Trustees approved your fund’s New Management Contract, the Board of Trustees (including a majority of the Independent Trustees), also approved new sub-advisory contracts with each of your fund’s subadvisers, including the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract. The Board of Trustees’ considerations regarding new sub-advisory contracts with respect to PanAgora are discussed in Proposal 1 above.

What is the voting requirement for approving the proposal?

Shareholder approval of your fund’s New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract requires the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the fund, which is defined under the 1940 Act to be the lesser of (a) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the fund, or (b) 67% or more of the shares of the fund present (in person or by proxy) at the special meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the fund are present at the meeting in person or by proxy. The Board of Trustees unanimously recommend that shareholders vote FOR the New PanAgora Sub-Advisory Contract.

Additional Information Relevant to the Proposals

Potential Conflict of Interest Relating to One of the Independent Trustees. Jennifer Williams Murphy is the founder, controlling member, and Chief Executive Officer of Runa Digital Assets, LLC (“RDA”), the investment manager of Runa Digital Partners, LP (“RDP”), a private investment fund. Ms. Murphy also holds a controlling interest in RDP’s general partner and is a limited partner in RDP. A subsidiary of Franklin Templeton and certain individuals employed by Franklin Templeton or its affiliates have made passive investments as limited partners in RDP (one of whom serves on the advisory board for RDA, which has no governance or oversight authority over RDA), representing in the aggregate approximately 33% of RDP as of May 31, 2023. In addition, if certain conditions are met, Franklin will be entitled to receive a portion of any incentive compensation allocable to RDP’s general partner. For so long as Franklin Templeton maintains its investment in RDP, Ms. Murphy also has agreed to advise and consult with Franklin Templeton and its affiliates on the market for digital assets. Ms. Murphy provides similar service to other limited partners in RDP that request her advice. Ms. Murphy also is entitled to receive deferred cash compensation in connection with her prior employment by an affiliate of Franklin Templeton, which employment ended at the end of 2021. The Independent Trustees met on two occasions, at their regular meetings on January 27, 2023 and June 23, 2023, in the absence of Ms. Murphy, to provide an opportunity for discussion of the Transaction and related matters.

Further Information About Voting and the Special Meeting

Location. As part of our effort to maintain a safe and healthy environment at the special shareholder meeting, each fund and the Trustees are closely monitoring statements issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (cdc.gov) regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. For that reason, the Trustees reserve the right to reconsider the date, time and/or means of convening your fund’s meeting. Subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law, the Trustees may choose to conduct the meeting solely by means of remote communications, or may hold a “hybrid” meeting where some participants attend in person and others attend by means of remote communications. If the Trustees choose to change the date, time and/or means of convening your fund’s meeting, the fund will announce the decision to do so in advance, and details on how to participate will be issued by press release, in the case of the Closed-End Funds, or by press release or other public notice, in the case of the Open-End Funds and ETFs, and filed with the SEC as additional proxy material. Attendees are also encouraged to review guidance from public health authorities on this issue.

Meeting Quorum and Methods of Tabulation. The shareholders of each fund vote separately with respect to the proposals. Shares of all classes of each fund vote together as a single class. Thirty percent of the shares entitled to vote constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business with respect to any proposal at the special meeting for all funds except (i) Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust and Putnam Premier Income Trust, for which a majority of the shares entitled to vote constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business, and (ii) each of the Putnam ETFs, for which shares representing one-third (1/3) or more of the total combined voting power of all shares of a series entitled to vote constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business.

Votes cast by proxy or in person at the special meeting will be counted by persons your fund appoints as tellers for the meeting. The tellers will count the total number of votes cast “for” approval of a proposal for purposes of determining whether sufficient affirmative votes have been cast. Shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or the persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have the discretionary voting power on a particular matter) will be counted as shares that are present and entitled to vote on the matter for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes have the effect of votes against the proposal. Broker non-votes may result in the proposals not being approved, even though the votes cast in favor would have been sufficient to approve the proposal if some or all of the broker non-votes had been withheld.

The documents that authorize Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company, LLC (“PFTC”) or Putnam Investor Services, Inc. (“Putnam Investor Services”) to act as Trustee or servicing agent for certain individual retirement accounts (including traditional, Roth and SEP IRAs, 403(b)(7) accounts and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts) provide that if an account owner does not submit voting instructions for his or her shares, PFTC or Putnam Investor Services will vote such shares in the same proportions as other shareholders with similar accounts have submitted voting instructions

for their shares. Shareholders should be aware that this practice, known as “echo-voting,” may have the effect of increasing the likelihood that a proposal will be acted upon (approved or disapproved) and that PFTC or Putnam Investor Services, each of which is an affiliate of Putnam Management, may benefit indirectly from the approval or disapproval, in accordance with the Trustees’ recommendations, of the proposals.

Shareholders who object to any proposal in this Proxy Statement will not be entitled under Massachusetts law or Delaware law, as applicable, or the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the particular fund to demand payment for, or an appraisal of, their shares.

For the Putnam Closed-End Funds:

Each fund’s Amended and Restated Bylaws include a provision (collectively, the “Control Share Provision”) pursuant to which, in summary, a shareholder who obtains beneficial ownership of fund shares in a “Control Share Acquisition” may exercise voting rights with respect to such shares only to the extent the authorization of such voting rights is approved by other shareholders of the fund. The Control Share Provision is primarily intended to protect the interests of the fund and its shareholders by limiting the risk that the fund will become subject to undue influence by activist investors. As described further below, the Control Share Provision does not eliminate voting rights for shares acquired in Control Share Acquisitions, but rather, it entrusts a fund’s other “non-interested” shareholders with determining whether to approve the authorization of voting rights for such shares.

Subject to various conditions and exceptions, the Amended and Restated Bylaws define a “Control Share Acquisition” to include an acquisition of fund shares (other than remarketed preferred shares of a series existing as of September 18, 2020) that, but for the Control Share Provision, would entitle the beneficial owner, upon the acquisition of such shares, to vote or direct the voting of shares having voting power in the election of Trustees (except for elections of Trustees by preferred shareholders of the fund voting as a separate class) within any of the following ranges: (i) one-tenth or more, but less than one-fifth of all voting power; (ii) one-fifth or more, but less than one-third of all voting power; (iii) one-third or more, but less than a majority of all voting power; or (iv) a majority or more of all voting power.

Shares acquired before September 18, 2020 are excluded from the definition of Control Share Acquisition, though such shares are included in assessing whether any subsequent share acquisition exceeds one of the enumerated thresholds. Subject to various conditions and procedural requirements set forth in the Amended and Restated Bylaws, including the delivery of a “Control Share Acquisition Statement” to the fund’s Clerk setting forth certain required information, a shareholder who obtains beneficial ownership of shares in a Control Share Acquisition generally may request a vote of fund shareholders (excluding such acquiring shareholder and certain other interested shareholders) to approve the authorization of voting rights for such shares at the next annual meeting of fund shareholders, notice of which has not been given before the fund has received the Control Share Acquisition Statement.

On February 23, 2023, the Trustees of each fund determined to exempt all prior, and, until further notice, new purchases of the funds’ shares that might otherwise be deemed Control Share

Acquisitions under the Control Share Provision. Thus, the Control Share Provision currently has no effect, and will not affect voting at the special meeting in any way.

Special Rule for Proportional Voting for Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust and Putnam Municipal Opportunities Trust. For funds listed on the New York Stock Exchange that have outstanding preferred shares, in accordance with the rules of the exchange, brokerage firms may vote for or against a proposal, on behalf of their clients who beneficially own the remarketed or auction rate preferred shares and from whom they have not received voting instructions, in the same proportion as votes for and against the proposal that have been received from other holders of preferred shares if (i) a minimum of 30% of the outstanding preferred shares have been voted by the holders of preferred shares, (ii) less than 10% of the outstanding preferred shares have voted against the proposal, and (iii) for any proposal on which common and preferred shares vote together as a single class, the holders of the common shares have approved the proposal.

Other business. The Trustees know of no matters other than those described in this Proxy Statement to be brought before the special meeting. If, however, any other matters properly come before the special meeting, proxies will be voted on these matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons named in the enclosed proxy card(s).

Simultaneous meetings. The special meeting of shareholders of each Putnam Closed-End Fund is called to be held at the same time as the meetings of shareholders of the other Putnam Closed-End Funds, and the special meeting of shareholders of each Putnam Open-End Fund and ETF is called to be held at the same time as the meetings of shareholders of the other Putnam Open-End Funds and ETF. It is anticipated that all special meetings of the Putnam Closed-End Funds will be held simultaneously and that all special meetings of the Putnam Open-End Funds and ETFs will be held simultaneously. However, if any shareholder at a special meeting objects to the holding of a simultaneous meeting and moves for an adjournment of the meeting to a time promptly after the simultaneous meetings, the persons named as proxies will vote in favor of adjournment.

Information for all Putnam funds except funds that are series of Putnam Variable Trust

Solicitation of proxies. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, the Trustees of your fund and employees of Putnam Management and Putnam Investor Services, as well as their agents, may solicit proxies in person or by telephone. Your fund may arrange to have a proxy solicitation firm call you to record your voting instructions by telephone. The procedures for voting proxies by telephone are designed to authenticate shareholders’ identities, to allow them to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their instructions, and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. Shareholders would be called at the phone number Putnam Management or Putnam Investor Services has in its records for their accounts (or that Putnam Management or Putnam Investor Services obtains from agents acting on behalf of financial intermediaries, in the case of shares held in street name through a bank, broker or other financial intermediary) and would be given an opportunity to authenticate their identities and to authorize the proxies to vote their shares at the special meeting in accordance with their instructions. To ensure that shareholders’ instructions have been recorded correctly, they will also receive a confirmation of their instructions in the mail. A special toll-free number will be available in case

the information contained in the confirmation is incorrect. Your fund has been advised by counsel that these procedures are consistent with the requirements of applicable law. If these procedures were subject to a successful legal challenge, such votes would not be counted at the special meeting. Your fund is unaware of any such challenge at this time.

Shareholders have the opportunity to submit their voting instructions over the Internet by using a program provided by a third-party vendor selected by Putnam Management or by automated telephone service. To vote online using the Internet, please access the Internet address listed on the proxy card and follow the instructions on the Internet site. To record your voting instructions using the automated telephone service, use the toll-free number listed on your proxy card. The Internet and telephone voting procedures are designed to authenticate shareholder identities, to allow shareholders to give their voting instructions, and to confirm that shareholders’ instructions have been recorded properly.

Revocation of proxies. Giving your proxy, whether by returning the proxy card(s) or providing voting instructions over the Internet or by telephone, does not affect your right to attend the special meeting and vote in person. Proxies, including proxies given by telephone or over the Internet, may be revoked at any time before they are voted either (i) by a written revocation received by the Clerk of your fund, (ii) by properly executing and submitting a later-dated proxy, (iii) by recording later-dated voting instructions by telephone or via the Internet, or (iv) by attending the special meeting and voting in person. If your shares are held in street name through a bank, broker or other financial intermediary, please check your voting instruction form or contact your bank, broker or other financial intermediary for instructions on how to change or revoke your vote.

Information for funds that are series of Putnam Variable Trust

Voting process. With respect to funds that are series of Putnam Variable Trust only, as of the Open-End Fund/ETF Record Date, certain insurance companies (each an “Insurance Company”) were shareholders of record of funds that are series of Putnam Variable Trust. Each Insurance Company will vote shares of the fund or funds held by it in accordance with voting instructions received from variable annuity contract and variable life insurance policy owners (collectively, the “Contract Owners”) for whose accounts the shares are held. Accordingly, with respect to funds that are series of Putnam Variable Trust, this Proxy Statement is also intended to be used by each Insurance Company in obtaining these voting instructions from Contract Owners.

Solicitation of proxies. In addition to soliciting proxies and voting instructions by mail, the Trustees of your fund and employees of Putnam Management, Putnam Investor Services, Putnam Retail Management Limited Partnership and the Insurance Companies may solicit voting instructions from Contract Owners in person or by telephone. Your fund may arrange to have a proxy solicitation firm call you to record your voting instructions by telephone. The procedures for solicitation of proxies and voting instructions by telephone are designed to authenticate Contract Owners’ identities, to allow them to authorize the voting of their units in accordance with their instructions, and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. Your fund has been advised by counsel that these procedures are consistent with the requirements of applicable law. Contract Owners would be called at the phone number Putnam Management or Putnam Investor Services has in its records for their accounts (or that Putnam Management or Putnam Investor Services obtains from the Insurance

Companies) and would be given an opportunity to give their instructions. To ensure that the Contract Owners’ instructions have been recorded correctly, they will also receive a confirmation of their instructions in the mail. A special toll-free number will be available in case the information contained in the confirmation is incorrect. If these procedures were subject to a successful legal challenge, such votes would not be counted at the special meeting. Your fund is unaware of any such challenge at this time.

Contract Owner instructions. Each Contract Owner is entitled to instruct his or her Insurance Company as to how to vote its shares and can do so by marking voting instructions on the ballot enclosed with this Proxy Statement and then signing, dating and mailing the ballot in the envelope provided. If a ballot is not marked to indicate voting instructions, but is signed, dated and returned, it will be treated as an instruction to vote the shares in accordance with the Trustees’ recommendations. Each Insurance Company will vote the shares for which it receives timely voting instructions from Contract Owners in accordance with those instructions and will vote those shares for which it receives no timely voting instructions for and against approval of a proposal, and as an abstention, in the same proportion as the shares for which it receives voting instructions. Shares attributable to accounts retained by each Insurance Company will be voted in the same proportion as votes cast by Contract Owners. Accordingly, there are not expected to be any “broker non-votes.” One effect of this system of proportional voting is that, if only a small number of Contract Owners provide voting instructions, this small number of Contract Owners may determine the outcome of the vote for the fund.

Contract Owners have the opportunity to submit their voting instructions via the Internet by utilizing a program provided by a third-party vendor selected by Putnam Management or by automated telephone service. To give voting instructions online using the Internet, please access the Internet address listed on the proxy card and follow the instructions on the Internet site. To record your voting instructions via automated telephone service, use the toll-free number listed on your proxy card. The Internet and telephone voting procedures are designed to authenticate Contract Owners’ identities, to allow Contract Owners to give their voting instructions, and to confirm that their instructions have been recorded properly.

Revocation of instructions. Any Contract Owner giving instructions to an Insurance Company has the power to revoke such instructions by mail by providing superseding instructions. All properly executed instructions received in time for the special meeting will be voted as specified in the instructions.

Revocation of proxies. Proxies, including proxies given by telephone or over the Internet, may be revoked by an Insurance Company at any time before they are voted either (i) by a written revocation received by the Clerk of your fund, (ii) by properly executing a later-dated proxy, (iii) by recording later-dated voting instructions by telephone or via the Internet, or (iv) by attending the special meeting and voting in person.

Information for the Putnam Closed-End Funds

Date for receipt of shareholders’ proposals for subsequent meetings of shareholders. It is currently anticipated that your fund’s next annual meeting of shareholders will be held on April 26, 2024, although the Trustees of your fund reserve the right to set an earlier or later date for the

annual meeting for the next fiscal year. Shareholder proposals that are intended to be included in the proxy statement for that meeting and presented at the 2024 annual meeting must have been received by your fund on or before November 27, 2023. In order for a shareholder proposal to be included in the proxy statement, both the submitting shareholder and the proposal itself must satisfy the requirements set forth in Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The fund may exclude from the proxy materials and consideration at a meeting certain proposals as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission rules and state law. Shareholders who wish to make a proposal at the 2024 annual meeting without including the proposal in the fund’s proxy statement must ensure that the proposal was received by your fund in good order and in compliance with all applicable legal requirements, including the requirements set forth in your fund’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, between January 22, 2024 and February 21, 2024. You may obtain a copy of your fund’s Amended and Restated Bylaws by submitting a request in writing to The Putnam Funds, 100 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110.

Postponement and Adjournment. To the extent permitted by each fund’s Declaration of Trust and Amended and Restated Bylaws, any meeting of shareholders may be postponed or cancelled by the Trustees upon public notice before the time scheduled for such meeting.

In addition to any ability that the persons named as proxies may have to propose and/or vote on an adjournment of any meeting of shareholders as described below, to the extent permitted by each fund’s Declaration of Trust and Amended and Restated Bylaws, any meeting of shareholders may, by action of the chair of the meeting, be adjourned from time to time without notice (other than announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken) with respect to one or more matters to be considered at the meeting to a designated date (which may be more than 120 days after the date initially set for the meeting), time and place, whether or not a quorum is present with respect to the matter. Upon motion of the chair of the meeting, the question of adjournment may (but need not) be submitted to a vote of the shareholders, and in that case, any adjournment with respect to one or more matters must be approved by the vote of holders of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote with respect to the matter or matters to be adjourned and, if approved, such adjournment shall take place without further notice (other than announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken). If the quorum required for the meeting has not been met, the persons named as proxies may propose adjournment of the meeting and vote all shares that they are entitled to vote in favor of such adjournment. If the quorum required for the meeting has been met, but sufficient votes in accordance with the Trustees’ recommendations are not received by the time scheduled for the meeting, the persons named as proxies may also propose adjournment of the meeting with respect to any or all proposals in order to permit solicitation of additional proxies. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of adjournment those proxies that they are entitled to vote in accordance with the Trustees’ recommendation. They will vote against adjournment those proxies required to be voted contrary to the Trustees’ recommendation. Unless a proxy is otherwise limited in this regard, any shares present and entitled to vote at a meeting that are represented by broker non-votes, may, at the discretion of the proxies named therein, be voted in favor of such an adjournment. Adjournments may be proposed for a reasonable period or periods to permit further solicitation of proxies or for any other reason. Putnam Investments (or an affiliate) will bear the costs of any additional solicitation and of any adjourned session. Any proposal for which sufficient votes consistent with the Trustees’ recommendation have been received may be acted upon and considered final regardless of whether the meeting is adjourned

to permit additional solicitation with respect to any other proposal that may properly come before the meeting.

The record date initially set for a meeting will continue to apply to any adjourned or postponed session of that meeting, unless the Trustees fix a new record date for the meeting. If a new record date is fixed for a meeting, any proxy received by a fund from a shareholder who was a shareholder of record on both the record date originally set for the meeting and the new record date for the meeting will remain in full force and effect unless explicitly revoked by the shareholder.

Information for the Putnam Open-End Funds and ETFs

Date for receipt of shareholders’ proposals for subsequent meetings of shareholders.

Your fund does not regularly hold an annual shareholder meeting, but may from time to time schedule a special meeting. Each of the Putnam ETFs held a special meeting on January 11, 2023, and Putnam Core Bond Fund held a special meeting on October 19, 2022. For each other fund, the last special meeting was held on June 29, 2022 (and, for a limited number of funds, was adjourned to a later date), except that funds that commenced operations after June 29, 2022 have not yet held any shareholder meeting. In accordance with the regulations of the SEC and the funds’ governing documents, in order to be eligible for inclusion in a fund’s proxy statement for a meeting, a Contract Owner proposal (to the extent Contract Owners have the right to submit proposals under applicable law or a fund’s Declaration of Trust or Amended and Restated Bylaws) or shareholder proposal must be received a reasonable time before the fund prints and mails its proxy statement.

The Board Policy and Nominating Committee of the Board of Trustees, which consists only of Independent Trustees, will consider nominees recommended by shareholders of the fund to serve as Trustees. A Contract Owner (to the extent Contract Owners have the right to submit nominees under applicable law or a fund’s Declaration of Trust or Amended and Restated Bylaws) or shareholder must submit the names of any such nominees in writing to the fund, to the attention of the Clerk, at the address of the principal offices of the fund.

If a shareholder who wishes to present a proposal at a special shareholder meeting fails to notify the fund within a reasonable time before the fund mails its proxy statement, the persons named as proxies will have discretionary authority to vote on the shareholder’s proposal if it is properly brought before the meeting. If a shareholder makes a timely notification, the proxies may still exercise discretionary voting authority under circumstances consistent with the SEC’s proxy rules. All shareholder proposals must also comply with other requirements of the SEC’s rules and the funds’ Declaration of Trust and Amended and Restated Bylaws.

Postponement and adjournment. To the extent permitted by each fund’s Declaration of Trust and Bylaws, any meeting of shareholders may be postponed or cancelled by the Trustees upon public notice prior to the time scheduled for such meeting.

In addition to any ability that the persons named as proxy may have to propose and/or vote on an adjournment of any meeting of shareholders as described below, to the extent permitted by your fund’s Declaration of Trust and Bylaws, any meeting of shareholders may, by action of the chair

of the meeting, be adjourned from time to time without further notice (other than announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken) with respect to one or more matters to be considered at the meeting to a designated date (which may be more than 120 days after the date initially set for the meeting), time and place, whether or not a quorum is present with respect to the matter. Upon motion of the chair of the meeting, the question of adjournment may, but need not, be submitted to a vote of the shareholders, and in that case, any adjournment with respect to one or more matters must be approved by the vote of holders of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote with respect to the matter or matters to be adjourned and, if approved, such adjournment shall take place without further notice (other than announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken). If the quorum required for the meeting has not been met, the persons named as proxies may propose adjournment of the meeting and vote all shares that they are entitled to vote in favor of such adjournment. If the quorum required for the meeting has been met, but sufficient votes in accordance with the Trustees’ recommendation are not received by the time scheduled for the meeting, the persons named as proxies may also propose adjournment of the meeting with respect to any or all proposals in order to permit solicitation of additional proxies. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of adjournment those proxies that they are entitled to vote in accordance with the Trustees’ recommendation. “They will vote against adjournment those proxies required to be voted contrary to the Trustees’ recommendation. Unless a proxy is otherwise limited in this regard, any shares present and entitled to vote at a meeting that are represented by broker non-votes, if any, may, at the discretion of the proxies named therein, be voted in favor of such an adjournment. Adjournments may be proposed for a reasonable period or periods to permit further solicitation of proxies or for any other reason. Putnam Investments (or an affiliate) will bear the costs of any additional solicitation and of any adjourned sessions. Any proposal for which sufficient votes consistent with the Trustees’ recommendation have been received may be acted upon and considered final regardless of whether the special meeting is adjourned to permit additional solicitation with respect to any other proposal that may properly come before the meeting.

Information for all funds

Expense of the solicitation. [For managing the Putnam Open-End Funds’ and ETFs’ overall proxy campaign, Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Broadridge”) will receive a proxy management fee of $20,000 plus reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses. For managing the Putnam Closed-End Funds’ overall proxy campaign, EQ Fund Solutions (“EQ”) will receive a proxy management fee of $50,000 plus reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses. Broadridge and EQ will also receive fees in connection with assembling, mailing, and transmitting the notice of meeting, proxy statement and related materials on behalf of your fund, tabulating those votes that are received, and any solicitation of additional votes. While the fees received by Broadridge and EQ will vary based on the level of additional solicitation necessary to achieve quorum and shareholder approval, the fees paid to Broadridge are estimated to be approximately $4,080,316 and fees paid to EQ are estimated to be approximately $246,177. In addition, banks, brokers, or other financial intermediaries holding shares as nominees will be reimbursed, upon request, for their reasonable expenses in sending solicitation materials to the principals of the accounts and tabulating those instructions that are received. While fees paid to banks, brokers, or other financial intermediaries will vary based on the level of additional solicitation necessary to achieve quorum and shareholder approval of the Trustees’ recommendations, the aggregate fees across all funds are estimated to be approximately $4,794,725. Other costs associated with the proxy campaign, which are estimated to be approximately $700,000, include the expenses of the preparation and printing proxy materials. All proxy campaign costs are being borne by Putnam Investments (or an affiliate) because the funds are holding a special meeting only to approve new management contracts and sub-advisory contracts in connection with the Transaction.]

Duplicate mailings. As permitted by SEC rules, the funds’ practice is to send a single copy of the proxy statement to shareholders who share the same last name and address, unless a shareholder previously has requested otherwise. Separate proxy cards will be included with the proxy statement for each account registered at that address. If you would prefer to receive your own copy of the proxy statement, please contact Putnam Investor Services by phone at 1-800-225-1581 or by mail at P.O. Box 219697, Kansas City, MO 64121-9697.

Financial information. Your fund’s Clerk will furnish to you, upon request and without charge, a copy of the fund’s annual report for its most recent fiscal year, and a copy of its semiannual report for any subsequent semiannual period. You may direct these requests to Putnam Investor Services, P.O. Box 219697, Kansas City, MO 64121-9697 or by phone at 1-800-225-1581. You may also access copies of these reports by visiting Putnam’s website at putnam.com/individual.

* MSCI publishes two versions of this index reflecting the reinvestment of dividends using two different methodologies: gross dividends and net dividends. While both versions reflect reinvested dividends, they differ with respect to the manner in which taxes associated with dividend payments are treated. In calculating the net dividends version, MSCI incorporates reinvested dividends applying the withholding tax rate applicable to foreign non-resident institutional investors that do not benefit from double taxation treaties. Putnam Management believes that the net dividends version better reflects the returns U.S. investors might expect were they to invest directly in the component securities of the index.

Form of New MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

This Management Contract is dated as of [·] between [NAME OF TRUST/FUND], a Massachusetts business trust (the “Fund”), and PUTNAM INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”).

In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

SERVICES TO BE RENDERED BY MANAGER TO FUND.

(a) The Manager, at its expense, will furnish continuously an investment program for the Fund or, in the case of a Fund that has divided its shares into two or more series under Section 18(f)(2) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), each series of the Fund identified from time to time on Schedule A to this Contract (each reference in this Contract to “a Fund” or to “the Fund” is also deemed to be a reference to any existing series of the Fund, as appropriate in the particular context), will determine what investments will be purchased, held, sold or exchanged by the Fund and what portion, if any, of the assets of the Fund will be held uninvested and will, on behalf of the Fund, make changes in such investments. Subject always to the control of the Trustees of the Fund and except for the functions carried out by the officers and personnel referred to in Section 1(d), the Manager will also manage, supervise and conduct the other affairs and business of the Fund and matters incidental thereto. In the performance of its duties, the Manager will comply with the provisions of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws of the Fund and the stated investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund, will use its best efforts to safeguard and promote the welfare of the Fund and to comply with other policies which the Trustees may from time to time determine and will exercise the same care and diligence expected of the Trustees.

(b) The Manager, at its expense, except as such expense is paid by the Fund as provided in Section 1(d), will furnish (1) all necessary investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel, required for it to execute its duties faithfully; (2) suitable office space for the Fund; and (3) administrative facilities, including bookkeeping, clerical personnel and equipment necessary for the efficient conduct of the affairs of the Fund, including determination of the net asset value of the Fund, but excluding shareholder accounting services. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1(d), the Manager will pay the compensation, if any, of the officers of the Fund.

(c) The Manager, at its expense, will place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio investments for the Fund’s account with brokers or dealers selected by the Manager. In the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, the Manager will use its best efforts to obtain for the Fund the most favorable price and execution available, except to the extent it may be permitted to pay higher brokerage commissions for brokerage and research services as described below. In using its best efforts to obtain for the Fund the most favorable price and execution available, the Manager, bearing in mind the Fund’s best interests at all times, will consider all factors it deems relevant, including by way of illustration, price, the size of the transaction, the nature of the market for the security, the amount of the commission, the timing of the transaction taking into account market prices and trends, the reputation, experience and financial stability of the broker or dealer involved and the quality of service rendered by the

C-2

broker or dealer in other transactions. Subject to such policies as the Trustees of the Fund may determine, the Manager will not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Contract or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused the Fund to pay a broker or dealer that provides brokerage and research services to the Manager an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Manager determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and to other clients of the Manager as to which the Manager exercises investment discretion. The Manager agrees that in connection with purchases or sales of portfolio investments for the Fund’s account, neither the Manager nor any officer, director, employee or agent of the Manager shall act as a principal or receive any commission other than as provided in Section 3.

(d) The Fund will pay or reimburse the Manager for the compensation in whole or in part of such officers of the Fund and persons assisting them as may be determined from time to time by the Trustees of the Fund. The Fund will also pay or reimburse the Manager for all or part of the cost of suitable office space, utilities, support services and equipment attributable to such officers and persons as may be determined in each case by the Trustees of the Fund. The Fund will pay the fees, if any, of the Trustees of the Fund.

(e) The Manager will not be obligated to pay any expenses of or for the Fund not expressly assumed by the Manager pursuant to this Section 1 other than as provided in Section 3.

(f) Subject to the prior approval of a majority of the Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” and, to the extent required by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations under the 1940 Act, subject to any applicable guidance or interpretation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff, by the shareholders of the Fund, the Manager may, from time to time, delegate to a sub-adviser or sub-administrator any of the Manager’s duties under this Contract, including the management of all or a portion of the assets being managed. In all instances, however, the Manager must oversee the provision of delegated services, the Manager must bear the separate costs of employing any sub-adviser or sub-administrator, and no delegation will relieve the Manager of any of its obligations under this Contract.

OTHER AGREEMENTS, ETC.

It is understood that any of the shareholders, Trustees, officers and employees of the Fund may be a shareholder, director, officer or employee of, or be otherwise interested in, the Manager, and in any person controlled by or under common control with the Manager, and that the Manager and any person controlled by or under common control with the Manager may have an interest in the Fund. It is also understood that the Manager and any person controlled by or under common control with the Manager may have advisory, management, service or other contracts with other organizations and persons and may have other interests and business.

C-3

COMPENSATION TO BE PAID BY THE FUND TO THE MANAGER.

The Fund will pay to the Manager as compensation for the Manager’s services rendered, for the facilities furnished and for the expenses borne by the Manager pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of Section 1, a fee, based on the Fund’s Average Net Assets, computed and paid monthly at the annual rates set forth on Schedule B attached to this Contract, as from time to time amended. The Fund’s “Average Net Assets” means the average of all of the determinations of the Fund’s net asset value at the close of business on each business day during each month while this Contract is in effect. The fee is payable for each month within 15 days after the close of the month.

The fees payable by the Fund to the Manager pursuant to this Section 3 will be reduced by any commissions, fees, brokerage or similar payments received by the Manager or any affiliated person of the Manager in connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio investments of the Fund, less any direct expenses approved by the Trustees incurred by the Manager or any affiliated person of the Manager in connection with obtaining such payments.

In the event that expenses of the Fund for any fiscal year exceed the expense limitation on investment company expenses imposed by any statute or regulatory authority of any jurisdiction in which shares of the Fund are qualified for offer or sale, the compensation due the Manager for such fiscal year will be reduced by the amount of excess by a reduction or refund thereof. In the event that the expenses of the Fund exceed any expense limitation which the Manager may, by written notice to the Fund, voluntarily declare to be effective subject to such terms and conditions as the Manager may prescribe in such notice, the compensation due the Manager will be reduced, and if necessary, the Manager will assume expenses of the Fund, to the extent required by the terms and conditions of such expense limitation.

If the Manager serves for less than the whole of a month, the foregoing compensation will be prorated.

ASSIGNMENT TERMINATES THIS CONTRACT; AMENDMENTS OF THIS CONTRACT.

This Contract will automatically terminate, without the payment of any penalty, in the event of its assignment, provided that no delegation of responsibilities by the Manager pursuant to Section 1(f) will be deemed to constitute an assignment.

Schedule B

Schedule C

Putnam Sustainable Leaders Fund

Performance Period. The Performance Period is equal to the thirty-six month period ending at the end of the month for which the fee adjustment is being computed.

Performance Adjustment Rate. The Performance Adjustment Rate is equal to the product of 0.03 multiplied by the difference, positive or negative, obtained by subtracting (i) the Investment Record of the Benchmark for the Performance Period from (ii) the Investment Performance of the Measuring Class for the Performance Period; provided that the Performance Adjustment Rate for the Fund may not exceed the Maximum Performance Adjustment Rate set forth on Schedule B or be less than the Minimum Performance Adjustment Rate set forth on Schedule B.

Investment Performance and Investment Record. These terms are used as defined in Rule 205-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and shall each be computed on an annualized basis for any Performance Period greater than one year.

Benchmark. The Fund’s initial Benchmark is set forth in Schedule B. If the Trustees determine that another appropriate index of securities prices should be substituted as the Benchmark, the Trustees may determine, with the consent of the Manager, to use such other appropriate index of securities prices for purposes of this Schedule C (the “Replacement Benchmark”) without shareholder approval, unless shareholder approval of the change is otherwise required by applicable law. Any Replacement Benchmark will be applied prospectively to determine the amount of the Performance Adjustment. The Benchmark will continue to be used to determine the amount of the Performance Adjustment for that part of the Performance Period prior to the effective date of the Replacement Benchmark. The Fund’s initial Replacement Benchmark is set forth in Schedule B, together with its effective date of incorporation into the calculation of any adjustment to the Fund’s Base Fee. Any further Replacement Benchmark, and its effective date of incorporation into the calculation of any adjustment to the Fund’s Base Fee, will also be identified on Schedule B.

C-17

the Manager, the class of shares used as the Measuring Class without shareholder approval, unless shareholder approval of such change is otherwise required by applicable law. If a different class of shares (“Replacement Measuring Class”) is substituted in calculating the Performance Adjustment, the use of that Replacement Measuring Class of shares for purposes of calculating the Performance Adjustment may apply to the entire Performance Period so long as the Replacement Measuring Class was outstanding at the beginning of such period. If the Replacement Measuring Class of shares was not outstanding for all or a portion of the Performance Period, it may only be used in calculating that portion of the Performance Adjustment attributable to the period during which the Replacement Measuring Class was outstanding and any previous portion of the Performance Period will be calculated using the Measuring Class.

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Schedule C, the computation of the Performance Adjustment Rate, the Investment Performance of the Measuring Class and the Investment Record of the Benchmark will be made in accordance with the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and any applicable rules thereunder.

Putnam Focused International Equity Fund

The Fund’s Base Fee computed in accordance with Schedule B will be adjusted, on a monthly basis, upward or downward, as the case may be, by an amount computed by applying the Performance Adjustment Rate to the Average Net Assets of the Fund for the Performance Period and dividing the result by twelve. Effective upon the closing of the merger of Putnam Global Consumer Fund, Putnam Global Financials Fund, Putnam Global Sector Fund and Putnam Global Utilities Fund (collectively, the “Target Funds”) into the Fund (the “Merger Closing Date”), the Fund’s Base Fee computed in accordance with Schedule B will be adjusted, on a monthly basis, upward or downward, as the case may be, by an amount computed by applying the Performance Adjustment Rate to the Combined Average Net Assets of the Fund for the Performance Period and dividing the result by twelve (such adjusted fee, the “Current Management Fee”); provided, however, that if the use of the Combined Average Net Assets in calculating the Current Management Fee results in the Fund paying a higher management fee than would have been paid using the Average Net Assets of the Fund for periods prior to the Merger Closing Date, Average Net Assets shall be used for purposes of this calculation.

Combined Average Net Assets. Combined Average Net Assets means the average of all of the determinations of (i) the sum of the net asset value of the Target Funds and the Fund at the close of business on each business day during any portion of a Performance Period prior to the Merger Closing Date; and (ii) the Fund’s net asset value at the close of business on each business day during any portion of a Performance Period on or after the Merger Closing Date.

Performance Period. The Performance Period is equal to the thirty-six month period ending at the end of the month for which the fee adjustment is being computed.

C-18

for the Fund may not exceed the Maximum Performance Adjustment Rate set forth on Schedule B or be less than the Minimum Performance Adjustment Rate set forth on Schedule B.

Measuring Class. The “Measuring Class” of shares of the Fund initially is Class A shares of the Fund. If the Trustees determine that a different class of shares of the Fund is the most appropriate for use in calculating the Performance Adjustment, the Trustees may change, with the consent of the Manager, the class of shares used as the Measuring Class without shareholder approval, unless shareholder approval of such change is otherwise required by applicable law. If a different class of shares (“Replacement Measuring Class”) is substituted in calculating the Performance Adjustment, the use of that Replacement Measuring Class of shares for purposes of calculating the Performance Adjustment may apply to the entire Performance Period so long as the Replacement Measuring Class was outstanding at the beginning of such period. If the Replacement Measuring Class of shares was not outstanding for all or a portion of the Performance Period, it may only be used in calculating that portion of the Performance Adjustment attributable to the period during which the Replacement Measuring Class was outstanding and any previous portion of the Performance Period will be calculated using the Measuring Class.

transaction taking into account market prices and trends, the reputation, experience and financial stability of the broker or dealer involved and the quality of service rendered by the broker or dealer in other transactions. Subject to such policies as the Trustees of the Fund may determine, the Manager will not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Contract or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused the Fund to pay a broker or dealer that provides brokerage and research services to the Manager an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Manager determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and to other clients of the Manager as to which the Manager exercises investment discretion.

COMPENSATION TO BE PAID BY THE FUND TO THE MANAGER.

“Average Net Assets” means the average of the weekly determinations of the difference between the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to leverage for investment purposes) and the total liabilities of the Fund (excluding liabilities incurred in connection with leverage for investment purposes), determined at the close of the last business day of each week, for each week which ends during the quarter. The fee is payable for each quarter within 30 days after the close of the quarter. As used in this Section 3, “leverage for investment purposes” means any incurrence of indebtedness the proceeds of which are to be invested in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective. For purposes of calculating Average Net Assets, liabilities associated with any instruments or transactions used to leverage the Fund’s portfolio for investment purposes (whether or not such instruments or transactions are “covered” within the meaning of the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, giving effect to any interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff) are not considered liabilities. For purposes of calculating Average Net Assets, the total assets of the Fund will be deemed to include (a) any proceeds from the sale or transfer of an asset (the “Underlying Asset”) of the Fund to a counterparty in a reverse repurchase or dollar roll transaction and (b) the value of such Underlying Asset as of the relevant measuring date.

In the event that, during any period for which payments of interest or fees (whether designated as such or implied) are payable in connection with any indebtedness or other obligation of the Fund incurred for investment purposes (a “Measurement Period”), the amount of interest payments and fees with respect to such indebtedness or other obligation, plus additional expenses attributable to any such leverage for investment purposes for such Measurement Period, exceeds the portion of the Fund’s net income and net short-term capital gains (but not long-term capital gains) accruing during such Measurement Period as a result of the fact that such indebtedness or other obligation was outstanding during the Measurement Period, then the fee payable to the Manager pursuant to this Section 3 shall be reduced by the amount of such excess; provided, however, that the amount of such reduction for any such Period shall not exceed the amount determined by multiplying (i) the aggregate value of all assets representing leverage for investment purposes by (ii) the percentage of the Average Net Assets of the Fund which the fee payable to the Manager during such Measurement Period pursuant to this Section 3 would constitute without giving effect to such reduction.

FORM OF NEW MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

This Management Contract (the “Contract”) is dated as of [•] between [NAME OF TRUST/FUND], a Delaware statutory trust (the “Fund”), and PUTNAM INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”).

In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

SERVICES TO BE RENDERED BY MANAGER TO FUND.

(a) The Manager, at its expense, will furnish continuously an investment program for the Fund or, in the case of a Fund that has divided its shares into two or more series under Section 18(f)(2) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), each series of the Fund identified from time to time on Schedule A to this Contract (each reference in this Contract to “a Fund” or to “the Fund” is also deemed to be a reference to any existing series of the Fund, as appropriate in the particular context), will determine what investments will be purchased, held, sold or exchanged by the Fund and what portion, if any, of the assets of the Fund will be held uninvested and will, on behalf of the Fund, make changes in such investments. Subject always to the control of the Trustees of the Fund [and except for the functions carried out by such officers of the Fund and persons assisting them as may be determined from time to time by the Trustees,]² the Manager will also manage, supervise and conduct the other affairs and business of the Fund and matters incidental thereto. In the performance of its duties, the Manager will comply with the provisions of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws of the Fund and the stated investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund, will use its best efforts to safeguard and promote the welfare of the Fund and to comply with other policies which the Trustees may from time to time determine.

(b) The Manager, at its expense, except as such expense is paid by the Fund as provided in Section 1(e), will furnish (1) all necessary investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel, required for it to execute its duties faithfully; (2) suitable office space for the Fund; and (3) administrative facilities, including bookkeeping, clerical personnel and equipment necessary for the efficient conduct of the affairs of the Fund, including determination of the net asset value of the Fund, but excluding shareholder accounting services. The Manager will pay the compensation, if any, of the officers of the Fund.

² Bracketed language only for Putnam BDC Income ETF, Putnam BioRevolution ETF, Putnam Emerging Markets ex-China ETF, Putnam ESG Core Bond ETF, Putnam ESG High Yield ETF, Putnam ESG Ultra Short ETF, Putnam PanAgora ESG International Equity ETF, and Putnam PanAgora ESG Emerging Markets Equity ETF.

will consider all factors it deems relevant, including by way of illustration, price, the size of the transaction, the nature of the market for the security, the amount of the commission, the timing of the transaction taking into account market prices and trends, the reputation, experience and financial stability of the broker or dealer involved and the quality of service rendered by the broker or dealer in other transactions. Subject to such policies as the Trustees of the Fund may determine, the Manager will not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Contract or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused the Fund to pay a broker or dealer that provides brokerage and research services to the Manager an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Manager determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and to other clients of the Manager as to which the Manager exercises investment discretion. The Manager agrees that in connection with purchases or sales of portfolio investments for the Fund’s account, neither the Manager nor any officer, director, employee or agent of the Manager shall act as a principal or receive any commission other than as permitted by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations under the 1940 Act and any applicable guidance or interpretation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff.

(d) The Manager will vote all proxies solicited by or with respect to issuers of securities in which assets of a Fund may be invested from time to time in accordance with its proxy voting policy in effect from time to time.

(e) In consideration of the fees payable by the Fund to the Manager pursuant to Section 3, the Manager will also pay all expenses incurred by the Fund, or reimburse the Fund for, all of the Fund’s organizational and other operating expenses, excluding only (i) interest and taxes (including, but not limited to, income, excise, transfer and withholding taxes); (ii) expenses of the Fund incurred with respect to the acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities, commodities or other financial instruments and the execution of portfolio transactions, including brokerage commissions; (iii) expenses incurred in connection with any distribution plan adopted by the Fund in compliance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, including distribution fees; (iv) expenses of printing and mailing proxy materials to shareholders of the Fund; (v) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings of the Fund’s shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefor; (vi) litigation expenses (including, but not limited to, any indemnification obligation, attorneys’ fees, expenses, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, penalties, fees of expert witnesses, document production fees, and all other liabilities whatsoever incurred or paid by the Fund or a person indemnified by the Fund); (vii) the fee payable to the Manager hereunder; (viii) any extraordinary expenses (which, for the avoidance of doubt, do not include expenses related to the organization of any subsidiary for a Fund or the ongoing corporate expenses of maintaining such subsidiary) and (ix) acquired fund fees and expenses. The Manager shall promptly inform the Trustees of any expenses, or category of expenses, determined to be “extraordinary expenses” for purposes of this Section 1(e).

C-61

the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff, by the shareholders of the Fund, the Manager may, from time to time, delegate to a sub-adviser or sub-administrator any of the Manager’s duties under this Contract, including the management of all or a portion of the assets being managed. In all instances, however, the Manager must oversee the provision of delegated services, the Manager must bear the separate costs of employing any sub-adviser or sub-administrator, and no delegation will relieve the Manager of any of its obligations under this Contract.

OTHER AGREEMENTS, ETC.

COMPENSATION TO BE PAID BY THE FUND TO THE MANAGER.

The Fund will pay to the Manager as compensation for the Manager’s services rendered, for the facilities furnished and for the expenses borne by the Manager pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of Section 1, a fee, based on the Fund’s Average Net Assets, computed and paid monthly at the annual rates set forth on Schedule B attached to this Contract, as from time to time amended. The Fund’s “Average Net Assets” means the average of all of the determinations of the Fund’s net asset value at the close of business on each business day during each period for which such computation is made. The fee is payable for each month within 15 days after the close of the month.

If the Manager serves for less than the whole of a month, the foregoing compensation will be prorated.

ASSIGNMENT TERMINATES THIS CONTRACT; AMENDMENTS OF THIS CONTRACT.

EFFECTIVE PERIOD AND TERMINATION OF THIS CONTRACT.

This Contract is effective upon its execution and will remain in full force and effect as to a Fund continuously thereafter (unless terminated automatically as set forth in Section 4 or

Appendix E — Description of Contract Approval Process

The discussion below summarizes the principal factors considered by the Trustees in approving the continuance of the current management contracts (the “Current Management Contracts”) in June 2023.

General conclusions

The Board of Trustees of The Putnam Funds (the “funds”) oversees the management of each fund and, as required by law, determines annually whether to approve the continuance of your fund’s management contract with Putnam Investment Management, LLC (“Putnam Management”) and, as applicable, the sub-management contract with respect to your fund between Putnam Management and its affiliate, Putnam Investments Limited (“PIL”), the sub-advisory contract among Putnam Management, PIL, and another affiliate, The Putnam Advisory Company (“PAC”), and the sub-advisory contract between Putnam Management and its affiliate, PanAgora Asset Management, Inc. (“PanAgora”). The Board, with the assistance of its Contract Committee, requests and evaluates all information it deems reasonably necessary under the circumstances in connection with its annual contract review. The Contract Committee consists solely of Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as this term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) of the funds (“Independent Trustees”).

At the outset of the review process, members of the Board’s independent staff and independent legal counsel considered any possible changes to the annual contract review materials furnished to the Contract Committee during the course of the previous year’s review and, as applicable, identified those changes to Putnam Management. Following these discussions and in consultation with the Contract Committee, the Independent Trustees’ independent legal counsel requested that Putnam Management and its affiliates, including PanAgora, furnish specified information, together with any additional information that Putnam Management and PanAgora considered relevant, to the Contract Committee. Over the course of several months ending in June 2023, the Contract Committee met on a number of occasions with representatives of Putnam Management, and separately in executive session, to consider the information that Putnam Management and PanAgora provided. Throughout this process, the Contract Committee was assisted by the members of the Board’s independent staff and by independent legal counsel for the funds and the Independent Trustees.

At the Trustees’ June 2023 meeting, the Contract Committee met in executive session to discuss and consider its recommendations with respect to the continuance of the contracts. At that meeting, the Contract Committee also met in executive session with the other Independent Trustees to review a summary of the key financial, performance and other data that the Contract Committee considered in the course of its review. The Contract Committee recommended, and the Independent Trustees approved, the continuance of your fund’s management, sub-management and sub-advisory contracts, as applicable, effective July 1, 2023. (Because PIL and PAC are affiliates of Putnam Management and Putnam Management remains fully responsible for all services provided by PIL and PAC, the Trustees have not attempted to evaluate PIL or PAC as separate entities, and all subsequent references to Putnam Management below should be deemed to include reference to PIL and PAC as necessary or appropriate in the context.)

E-1

The Independent Trustees’ approvals were based on the following conclusions:

•

That the fee schedule in effect for your fund represented reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services being provided to the fund, the fees paid by competitive funds, the costs incurred by Putnam Management and PanAgora, as applicable, in providing services to the fund and the application of certain reductions and waivers noted below; and

•

That the fee schedule in effect for your fund represented an appropriate sharing between fund shareholders and Putnam Management and PanAgora, as applicable, of any economies of scale as may exist in the management of the fund at current asset levels.

These conclusions were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and were not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations and how the Trustees considered these factors are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently, giving different weights to various factors. It is also important to recognize that the management arrangements for the Putnam mutual funds and closed-end funds are the result of many years of review and discussion between the Independent Trustees and Putnam Management, that some aspects of the arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than others and that the Trustees’ conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of fee arrangements in previous years. For example, with certain exceptions primarily involving newer funds (including the exchange-traded funds) or repositioned funds, the current fee arrangements under the vast majority of the funds’ management contracts were first implemented at the beginning of 2010 following extensive review by the Contract Committee and discussions with representatives of Putnam Management, as well as approval by shareholders. The Board of Trustees also took into account their concurrent deliberations and conclusions, and the materials that they had reviewed, in connection with their approval on June 23, 2023 of interim and new management, sub-management, and sub-advisory contracts for the funds, which had been proposed in light of the transaction announced on May 31, 2023 and described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, which will cause the funds’ current management and sub-advisory contracts to terminate in accordance with applicable law or the terms of each contract.

Management fee schedules and total expenses

The Trustees reviewed the management fee schedules in effect for all funds, including fee levels and breakpoints. Under their management contracts, the vast majority of mutual funds have the benefit of breakpoints in their management fee schedules that provide shareholders with reduced fee levels as assets under management in the Putnam family of funds increase, and the closed-end funds each have the benefit of breakpoints in their management fee schedules that provide shareholders with economies of scale in the form of reduced fee levels as the fund’s assets increase. The Trustees also reviewed the total expenses of each Putnam fund, recognizing that in most cases management fees represented the major, but not the sole, determinant of total costs to fund shareholders. (Two mutual funds and each of the exchange-traded funds have implemented so-called “all-in” or unitary management fees covering substantially all routine fund operating costs.)

E-2

In reviewing fees and expenses, the Trustees generally focus their attention on material changes in circumstances – for example, changes in assets under management, changes in a fund’s investment strategy, changes in Putnam Management’s operating costs or profitability, or changes in competitive practices in the mutual fund industry – that suggest that consideration of fee changes might be warranted. The Trustees concluded that the circumstances did not indicate that changes to the management fee schedule for any fund would be appropriate at this time.

In addition, certain funds’ management contracts provide that a fund’s management fees will be adjusted up or down depending upon whether the fund’s performance is better or worse than the performance of an appropriate index of securities prices specified in the management contract. In the course of reviewing investment performance, the Trustees examined the operation of those funds’ performance fees and concluded that these fees were operating effectively to align further Putnam Management’s economic interests with those of each fund’s shareholders.

As in the past, the Trustees also focused on the competitiveness of each fund’s total expense ratio. The Trustees noted that two mutual funds and the exchange-traded funds are subject to unitary management fees, as noted above, and that none of the exchange-traded funds have a contractual expense limitation at present. The Trustees, Putnam Management and the funds’ investor servicing agent, Putnam Investor Services, Inc. (“PSERV”), have implemented certain expense limitations for the mutual funds. These expense limitations were: (i) a contractual expense limitation applicable to specified mutual funds of 25 basis points on investor servicing fees and expenses and (ii) a contractual expense limitation applicable to specified mutual funds of 20 basis points on so-called “other expenses” (i.e., all expenses exclusive of management fees, distribution fees, investor servicing fees, investment-related expenses, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses). These expense limitations attempt to maintain competitive expense levels for the funds. Most funds had sufficiently low expenses that these expense limitations were not operative during their fiscal years ending in 2022. Putnam Management and PSERV’s commitment to these expense limitation arrangements, which were intended to support an effort to have the mutual fund expenses meet competitive standards, was an important factor in the Trustees’ decision to approve the continuance of the mutual funds’ management, sub-management and sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.

The Trustees reviewed comparative fee and expense information for competitive funds, which indicated that, in a custom group of competitive funds selected by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), each Putnam fund ranked in particular percentiles in management fees and total expenses (excluding any applicable 12b-1 fees) as of December 31, 2022. The fee and expense data reported by Broadridge as of December 31, 2022 reflected the most recent fiscal year-end data available in Broadridge’s database at that time.

In connection with their review of fund management fees and total expenses, the Trustees also reviewed the costs of the services provided and the profits realized by Putnam Management and its affiliates, including PanAgora, from their contractual relationships with the funds. This information included trends in revenues, expenses and profitability of Putnam Management and its affiliates relating to the investment management, investor servicing and distribution services

E-3

provided to the funds. In this regard, the Trustees also reviewed an analysis of the revenues, expenses and profitability of Putnam Management and its affiliates, allocated on a fund-by-fund basis, with respect to the funds’ management, distribution and investor servicing contracts. For each fund, the analysis presented information about revenues, expenses and profitability in 2022 for each of the agreements separately and for the agreements taken together on a combined basis. The Trustees concluded that, at current asset levels, the fee schedules in place for each of the funds, including the fee schedule for your fund, represented reasonable compensation for the services being provided and represented an appropriate sharing between fund shareholders, Putnam Management and PanAgora, as applicable, of any economies of scale as may exist in the management of the funds at that time.

The information examined by the Trustees in connection with their annual contract review for the funds included information regarding services provided and fees charged by Putnam Management and its affiliates to other clients, including collective investment trusts offered in the defined contribution and defined benefit retirement plan markets, sub-advised mutual funds, private funds sponsored by affiliates of Putnam Management, model-only separately managed accounts and Putnam Management’s manager-traded separately managed account programs. This information included, in cases where a product’s investment strategy corresponds with a fund’s strategy, comparisons of those fees with fees charged to the funds, as well as an assessment of the differences in the services provided to these clients as compared to the services provided to the funds. The Trustees observed that the differences in fee rates between these clients and the funds are by no means uniform when examined by individual asset sectors, suggesting that differences in the pricing of investment management services to these types of clients may reflect, among other things, historical competitive forces operating in separate marketplaces. The Trustees considered the fact that in many cases fee rates across different asset classes are higher on average for 1940 Act-registered funds than for other clients, and the Trustees also considered the differences between the services that Putnam Management provides to the funds and those that it provides to its other clients. The Trustees did not rely on these comparisons to any significant extent in concluding that the management fees paid by your fund are reasonable.

Investment performance

The quality of the investment process provided by Putnam Management represented a major factor in the Trustees’ evaluation of the quality of services provided by Putnam Management under your fund’s management contract. The Trustees were assisted in their review of Putnam Management’s investment process and performance by the work of the investment oversight committees of the Trustees and the full Board of Trustees, which meet on a regular basis with individual portfolio managers and with senior management of Putnam Management’s Investment Division throughout the year. The Trustees concluded that Putnam Management generally provides a high-quality investment process — based on the experience and skills of the individuals assigned to the management of fund portfolios, the resources made available to them and in general Putnam Management’s ability to attract and retain high-quality personnel — but also recognized that this does not guarantee favorable investment results for every fund in every time period.

E-4

The Trustees considered that, in the aggregate, peer-relative and benchmark-relative fund performance was generally encouraging in 2022 against a backdrop of volatile equity and fixed income markets, driven by factors such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, increased tensions with China, disruptions in energy markets and broader supply chains, rising inflation and the significant tightening of monetary policy by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve in an effort to combat inflation. The Trustees further noted that, in the face of these numerous economic headwinds, corporate earnings and employment data had been generally robust throughout 2022. For the one-year period ended December 31, 2022, the Trustees noted that the funds, on an asset-weighted basis, ranked in the 41^st percentile of their peers as determined by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) and, on an asset-weighted-basis, outperformed their benchmarks by 1.3% gross of fees over the one-year period. The Committee also noted that the funds’ aggregate performance over longer-term periods continued to be strong, with the funds, on an asset-weighted basis, ranking in the 34^th, 27^th and 22^nd percentiles of their Lipper peers over the three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees further noted that the funds, in the aggregate, outperformed their benchmarks on a gross basis for each of the three-year, five-year and ten-year periods. The Trustees also considered the Morningstar Inc. ratings assigned to the funds and that 40 funds were rated four or five stars at the end of 2022, which represented an increase of 15 funds year-over-year. The Trustees also considered that seven funds were five-star rated at the end of 2022, which was a year-over-year decrease of two funds, and that 83% of the funds’ aggregate assets were in four- or five-star rated funds at year end.

In addition to the performance of the individual Putnam funds, the Trustees considered, as they had in prior years, the performance of The Putnam Fund complex versus competitor fund complexes, as reported in the Barron’s/Lipper Fund Families survey (the “Survey”). The Trustees noted that the Survey ranks mutual fund companies based on their performance across a variety of asset types, and that The Putnam Fund complex had performed exceptionally well in 2022. In this regard, the Trustees considered that the funds had ranked 9^th out of 49 fund companies, 3^rd out of 49 fund companies and 2^nd out of 47 fund companies for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods, respectively. The Trustees also noted that The Putnam Fund complex had been the only fund family to rank in the top ten in all three time periods. They also noted, however, the disappointing investment performance of some Putnam funds for periods ended December 31, 2022 and considered information provided by Putnam Management regarding the factors contributing to the underperformance and, where relevant, actions being taken to improve the performance of these particular funds. The Trustees indicated their intention to continue to monitor the performance of those funds.

For purposes of the Trustees’ evaluation of the funds’ investment performance, the Trustees generally focus on a competitive industry ranking of each fund’s total net return over a one-year, three-year and five-year period. For a number of Putnam funds with relatively unique investment mandates for which Putnam Management informed the Trustees that meaningful competitive performance rankings are not considered to be available, the Trustees evaluated performance based on their total gross and net returns and comparisons of those returns to the returns of selected investment benchmarks.

E-5

The Trustees also considered Putnam Management’s continued efforts to support fund performance through certain initiatives, including structuring compensation for portfolio managers to enhance accountability for fund performance, emphasizing accountability in the portfolio management process and affirming its commitment to a fundamental-driven approach to investing. The Trustees noted further that Putnam Management had made selective hires and internal promotions in 2022 to strengthen its investment team.

Brokerage and soft-dollar allocations; distribution and investor servicing

The Trustees considered various potential benefits that Putnam Management and PanAgora, as applicable, may receive in connection with the services they provide under the management and sub-advisory contracts, as applicable, with your fund. These include benefits related to brokerage allocation and the use of soft dollars, whereby a portion of the commissions paid by a fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research services that are expected to be useful to Putnam Management or PanAgora, as applicable, in managing the assets of the fund and of other clients. Subject to policies established by the Trustees, soft dollars generated by these means are used predominantly to acquire brokerage and research services (including third-party research and market data) that enhance the investment capabilities and supplement the internal research efforts of Putnam Management or PanAgora, as applicable. The Trustees indicated their continued intent to monitor regulatory and industry developments in this area with the assistance of their Brokerage Committee. In addition, with the assistance of their Brokerage Committee, the Trustees indicated their continued intent to monitor the allocation of the funds’ brokerage in order to ensure that the principle of seeking best price and execution remains paramount in the portfolio trading process.

Putnam Management may also receive benefits from payments made to Putnam Management’s affiliates by the mutual funds for distribution services and by the mutual funds and closed-end funds for investor services. In conjunction with the review of the funds’ management, sub-management and sub-advisory contracts, the Trustees reviewed the mutual funds’ and closed-end funds’ investor servicing agreement with PSERV and the mutual funds’ distributor’s contract and distribution plans with Putnam Retail Management Limited Partnership (“PRM”), both of which are affiliates of Putnam Management. The Trustees concluded that the fees payable by the mutual funds and closed-end funds to PSERV and PRM, as applicable, for such services were fair and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of such services, the fees paid by competitive funds and the costs incurred by PSERV and PRM, as applicable, in providing such services. Furthermore, the Trustees were of the view that the investor services provided by PSERV were required for the operation of the mutual funds and closed-end funds, and that they were of a quality at least equal to those provided by other providers.

F-1

Form of SUB-MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

This Sub-Management Contract is dated as of [·] between PUTNAM INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”) and PUTNAM INVESTMENTS LIMITED, a company organized under the laws of England and Wales (the “Sub-Manager”).

WHEREAS, the Manager is the investment manager of each of the investment companies registered under the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that are identified on Schedule A hereto, as it may from time to time be amended by the Manager (the “Funds”), and a registered investment adviser under the United States Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended;

WHEREAS, the Sub-Manager is licensed as an investment manager by the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom (the “FCA”); and

WHEREAS, the Manager desires to engage the Sub-Manager from time to time to manage all or a portion of certain of the Funds:

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

SERVICES TO BE RENDERED BY SUB-MANAGER.

(a) The Sub-Manager, at its expense, will furnish continuously an investment program for all or a portion of any Fund the management of which is allocated from time to time by the Manager to the Sub-Manager (an “Allocated Sleeve”). The Manager shall, in its sole discretion, determine which Funds will have an Allocated Sleeve and the amount of assets allocated from time to time to each such Allocated Sleeve; provided that, with respect to any Fund, the Trustees of such Fund must have approved the use of the Sub-Manager prior to the creation of an Allocated Sleeve for such Fund. The Sub-Manager will determine what investments shall be purchased, held, sold or exchanged by any Allocated Sleeve and what portion, if any, of the assets of the Allocated Sleeve shall be held uninvested and shall, on behalf of the Fund, make changes in the Fund’s investments held in such Allocated Sleeve.

(b) The Manager may also, at its discretion, request the Sub-Manager to provide assistance with purchasing and selling securities for any Fund, including the placement of orders with broker-dealers selected in accordance with Section 1(d), even if the Manager has not established an Allocated Sleeve for such Fund.

(c) The Sub-Manager at its expense will furnish all necessary investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel, required for it to execute its duties faithfully.

(d) If requested by the Manager, the Sub-Manager shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio investments for any Allocated Sleeve with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Manager. In the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, the Sub-Manager shall use its best efforts to obtain for the related Fund the most favorable price and execution available, except to the extent it may be permitted to pay higher brokerage commissions

F-2

for brokerage and research services as described below. In using its best efforts to obtain for the Fund the most favorable price and execution available, the Sub-Manager, bearing in mind the Fund’s best interests at all times, shall consider all factors it deems relevant, including by way of illustration, price, the size of the transaction, the nature of the market for the security, the amount of the commission, the timing of the transaction taking into account market prices and trends, the reputation, experience and financial stability of the broker or dealer involved and the quality of service rendered by the broker or dealer in other transactions. To the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to such policies as the Trustees of the Funds may determine, the Sub-Manager shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Contract or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused a Fund to pay a broker or dealer that provides brokerage and research services to the Manager or the Sub-Manager an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Sub-Manager determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or its overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and to other clients of the Manager or the Sub-Manager as to which the Manager or the Sub-Manager exercises investment discretion. The Sub-Manager agrees that in connection with purchases or sales of portfolio investments for any Fund, neither the Sub-Manager nor any officer, director, employee or agent of the Sub-Manager shall act as a principal or receive any commission other than as provided in Section 3.

(e) The Sub-Manager shall not be obligated to pay any expenses of or for the Manager or any Fund not expressly assumed by the Sub-Manager pursuant to this Section 1.

(f) In the performance of its duties, the Sub-Manager will comply with the provisions of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws of each applicable Fund and such Fund’s stated investment objectives, policies and restrictions, and will use its best efforts to safeguard and promote the welfare of such Fund and to comply with other policies which the Manager or the Trustees may from time to time determine and shall exercise the same care and diligence expected of the Manager.

OTHER AGREEMENTS, ETC.

It is understood that any of the shareholders, Trustees, officers and employees of a Fund may be a shareholder, director, officer or employee of, or be otherwise interested in, the Sub-Manager, and in any person controlled by or under common control with the Sub-Manager, and that the Sub-Manager and any person controlled by or under common control with the Sub-Manager may have an interest in such Fund. It is also understood that the Sub-Manager and any person controlled by or under common control with the Sub-Manager have and may have advisory, management, service or other contracts with other organizations and persons, and may have other interests and business.

COMPENSATION.

Except as provided below, the Manager will pay to the Sub-Manager as compensation for the Sub-Manager’s services rendered, a fee, computed and paid quarterly at the annual rate of 0.25% per annum of average aggregate net asset value of the assets in equity and asset allocation

F-3

Allocated Sleeves and 0.20% per annum of average aggregate net asset value of the assets in fixed income Allocated Sleeves of Funds identified on Schedule A.

Such average net asset value shall be determined by taking an average of all of the determinations of such net asset value during a quarter at the close of business on each business day during such quarter while this Contract is in effect. Such fee shall be payable for each quarter within 30 days after the close of such quarter. The Sub-Manager shall look only to the Manager for payment of its fees. No Fund shall have any responsibility for paying any fees due the Sub-Manager.

With respect to each of Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust and Putnam Premier Income Trust, the Manager will pay to the Sub-Manager as compensation for the Sub-Manager’s services rendered, a fee, computed and paid quarterly at the annual rate of 0.20% of Average Weekly Assets in Allocated Sleeves. “Average Weekly Assets” means the average of the weekly determinations of the difference between the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to leverage for investment purposes) attributable to an Allocated Sleeve and the total liabilities of the Fund (excluding liabilities incurred in connection with leverage for investment purposes) attributable to such Allocated Sleeve, determined at the close of the last business day of each week, for each week which ends during the quarter. Such fee shall be payable for each quarter within 30 days after the close of such quarter. As used in this Section 3, “leverage for investment purposes” means any incurrence of indebtedness the proceeds of which are to be invested in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective. For purposes of calculating Average Weekly Assets, liabilities associated with any instruments or transactions used to leverage the Fund’s portfolio for investment purposes (whether or not such instruments or transactions are “covered” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations thereunder, giving effect to any interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff) are not considered liabilities. For purposes of calculating Average Weekly Assets, the total assets of the Fund will be deemed to include (a) any proceeds from the sale or transfer of an asset (the “Underlying Asset”) of the Fund to a counterparty in a reverse repurchase or dollar roll transaction and (b) the value of such Underlying Asset as of the relevant measuring date.

In the event that the Manager’s management fee from either of Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust or Putnam Premier Income Trust is reduced pursuant to the investment management contract between such Fund and the Manager because during any Measurement Period (as defined below) the amount of interest payments and fees with respect to indebtedness or other obligation of the Fund incurred for investment leverage purposes, plus additional expenses attributable to any such leverage for investment purposes, exceeds the portion of the Fund’s net income and net short-term capital gains (but not long-term capital gains) accruing during such Measurement Period as a result of the fact that such indebtedness or other obligation was outstanding during the Measurement Period, the fee payable to the Sub-Manager with respect to such Fund shall be reduced in the same proportion as the fee paid to the Manager with respect to such Fund is so reduced. “Measurement Period” shall be any period for which payments of interest or fees (whether designated as such or implied) are payable in connection with any indebtedness or other obligation of the Fund incurred for investment purposes.

If the Sub-Manager shall serve for less than the whole of a quarter, the foregoing compensation shall be prorated.

F-4

ASSIGNMENT TERMINATES THIS CONTRACT; AMENDMENTS OF THIS CONTRACT.

This Contract shall automatically terminate without the payment of any penalty, in the event of its assignment; and this Contract shall not be amended with respect to any Allocated Sleeve unless such amendment be approved at a meeting by the vote, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, of a majority of the Trustees of the related Fund who are not interested persons of such Fund or of the Manager.

EFFECTIVE PERIOD AND TERMINATION OF THIS CONTRACT.

This Contract shall become effective upon its execution, and shall remain in full force and effect continuously thereafter (unless terminated automatically as set forth in Section 4) for an initial period of two years from the date of this Contract, and will continue in effect from year to year thereafter until terminated as follows:

(a) Either party hereto or, with respect to any Allocated Sleeve, the related Fund may at any time terminate this Contract by not more than sixty days’ nor less than thirty days’ written notice delivered or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the other party, or

(b) With respect to any Allocated Sleeve, if (i) the Trustees of the related Fund or the shareholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of such Fund, and (ii) a majority of the Trustees of such Fund who are not interested persons of such Fund or of the Manager, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, do not specifically approve at least annually the continuance of this Contract, then this Contract shall automatically terminate at the close of business on the anniversary of its execution, or upon the expiration of one year from the effective date of the last such continuance, whichever is later, or

(c) With respect to any Allocated Sleeve, automatically upon termination of the Manager’s investment management contract with the related Fund.

Action by a Fund under (a) above may be taken either (i) by vote of a majority of its Trustees, or (ii) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of such Fund.

Termination of this Contract pursuant to this Section 5 will be without the payment of any penalty.

CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.

For the purposes of this Contract, the “affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of a Fund” means the affirmative vote, at a duly called and held meeting of shareholders of such Fund, (a) of the holders of 67% or more of the shares of such Fund present (in person or by proxy) and entitled to vote at such meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of such Fund entitled to vote at such meeting are present in person or by proxy, or (b) of the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of such Fund entitled to vote at such meeting, whichever is less.

F-5

For the purposes of this Contract, the terms “affiliated person,” “control,” “interested person” and “assignment” shall have their respective meanings defined in the United States Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Rules and Regulations thereunder (the “1940 Act”), subject, however, to such exemptions as may be granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under said Act; the term “specifically approve at least annually” shall be construed in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act, and the Rules and Regulations thereunder; and the term “brokerage and research services” shall have the meaning given in the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Rules and Regulations thereunder.

NON-LIABILITY OF SUB-MANAGER.

In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Sub-Manager, or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder, the Sub-Manager shall not be subject to any liability to the Manager, any Fund or to any shareholder of any Fund, for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder.

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS.

(a) The Sub-Manager represents that it is regulated by the FCA in the conduct of its investment business. The Sub-Manager has in operation a written procedure in accordance with FCA rules for the effective consideration and proper handling of complaints from customers. Any complaint by the Manager or any Fund should be sent to the Compliance Officer of the Sub-Manager. The Manager and any Fund is also entitled to make any complaints about the Sub-Manager to the Financial Ombudsman Service established by the FCA. The Manager and any Fund may also request a statement describing its rights to compensation in the event of the Sub-Manager’s inability to meet its liabilities.

(b) The Manager represents that it and each Fund are “Professional Customers” in the meaning of the FCA’s rules.

(c) Although each Fund is not a party hereto and shall have no responsibility for the Manager’s or the Sub-Manager’s obligations hereunder, each Fund is named as explicit third party beneficiary of the parties’ agreements hereunder.

Appendix F-3 – Form of New Sub-Advisory Contract with PanAgora

F-17

Form of New SUBADVISORY Agreement

This Subadvisory Agreement between PUTNAM INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Adviser”) and PANAGORA ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Subadviser”) is dated as of [·].

WHEREAS, the Adviser is the investment adviser of each of the investment companies registered under the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), that are identified on Schedule A hereto, as it may from time to time be amended by written agreement of the Adviser and the Subadviser (the “Funds”), and a registered investment adviser under the United States Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”);

WHEREAS, the Subadviser is a registered investment adviser under the Advisers Act; and

WHEREAS, the Adviser desires to engage the Subadviser to act as investment subadviser to the Funds:

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

SERVICES TO BE RENDERED BY SUBADVISER.

(a) The Subadviser, at its expense, will furnish continuously an investment program for that portion of each Fund (a “Portfolio”), subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board of Trustees of the Funds (the “Board of Trustees”) and the terms of this Agreement. The Adviser shall, in its sole discretion, determine the amount of Fund assets allocated from time to time to each such Portfolio and the Subadviser acknowledges that there is no guarantee that any Portfolio will be of any particular size and that a Portfolio may be sized at zero in the Adviser’s sole discretion; provided that, with respect to each Fund, the Board of Trustees must have approved the use of the Subadviser prior to the creation of a Portfolio for such Fund. The Subadviser will determine what investments shall be purchased, held, sold or exchanged by any Portfolio and what portion, if any, of the assets of the Portfolio shall be held uninvested and shall, on behalf of the Fund, make changes in the Fund’s investments held in such Portfolio.

(b) The Subadviser, at its expense, will furnish all necessary investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel, required for it to execute its duties faithfully.

(c) The Subadviser will make its officers and employees available to the Adviser and the Board of Trustees from time to time at reasonable times to review and consult with the Adviser and the Board of Trustees regarding the investment program of each Portfolio. The Subadviser will furnish to the Board of Trustees and the Adviser such reports and records regarding the Portfolio and the Subadviser as the Adviser or the Board of Trustees may reasonably request from time to time. The Subadviser (i) will make recommendations when reasonably requested, in accordance with procedures established by the Adviser and the Board of Trustees, for the fair value of securities held by the Portfolio for which market quotations are not readily available for purposes of enabling the Fund’s custodian to calculate the Fund’s net asset value; (ii) will provide such information regarding the Subadviser’s evaluation of the liquidity of portfolio securities in the Portfolio as the Adviser and the Board of Trustees may reasonably request to address the requirements of the

F-18

Fund’s liquidity risk management program; (iii) will provide such information regarding derivatives transactions engaged in by the Portfolio as the Adviser and the Board of Trustees may reasonably request to address the requirements of the Fund’s derivatives risk management program; and (iv) will, upon reasonable notice, review written references to the Subadviser, its investment program for the Portfolios, and the Portfolios, whether in a prospectus, statement of additional information, shareholder report, sales material or otherwise.

(d) The Subadviser shall provide the Adviser with the Subadviser’s written policies and procedures (“Compliance Policies”) as required by Rule 206(4)-7 under the Advisers Act. The Subadviser shall promptly submit to the Adviser: (i) any material changes to the Compliance Policies related to the services provided by the Subadviser to the Portfolios, (ii) notification of the commencement of a regulatory examination of the Subadviser by any relevant regulatory authority and documentation describing the results of any such examination and of any periodic testing of the Compliance Policies, (iii) documentation of a formal review of the Subadviser’s Compliance Policies and (iv) notification of any material compliance matter that relates to the services provided by the Subadviser to the Portfolios including, but not limited to, any material violation of the Compliance Policies relating to the services provided by the Subadviser to the Portfolios or of the Subadviser’s Code of Ethics, and (v) any breach of fiduciary duty or violation of the federal securities laws relating to the services provided by the Subadviser to the Portfolios. The Subadviser shall provide the Adviser with any certifications, information and access to personnel and resources (including those resources that will permit testing of the Compliance Policies by the Adviser) that the Adviser may reasonably request to enable the Portfolios to comply with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Subadviser also agrees to provide such other information relating to the Subadviser’s compliance program as may be reasonably requested by the Portfolios, the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer, or his or her authorized representative.

(e) The Subadviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio investments for any Portfolio with brokers or dealers selected by the Subadviser. In the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, the Subadviser shall use its best efforts to obtain for the related Fund the most favorable price and execution available, except to the extent it may be permitted to pay higher brokerage commissions for brokerage and research services as described below. In using its best efforts to obtain for the Fund the most favorable price and execution available, the Subadviser, bearing in mind the Fund’s best interests at all times, shall consider all factors it deems relevant, including by way of illustration, price, the size of the transaction, the nature of the market for the security, the amount of the commission, the timing of the transaction taking into account market prices and trends, the reputation, experience and financial stability of the broker or dealer involved and the quality of service rendered by the broker or dealer in other transactions. Subject to such policies as the Trustees of the Funds may determine, the Subadviser shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused a Fund to pay a broker or dealer that provides brokerage and research services to the Adviser or the Subadviser an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Subadviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or its overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and to other clients of the Subadviser as to which the Subadviser exercises investment discretion. The Subadviser

F-19

agrees that in connection with purchases or sales of portfolio investments for any Fund, neither the Subadviser nor any officer, director, employee or agent of the Subadviser shall act as a principal or receive any commission other than as provided in Section 3.

(f) In the performance of its duties, the Subadviser will comply with the provisions of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws of each applicable Fund, the Fund’s stated investment objectives, policies and restrictions, any additional operating policies or procedures that the Adviser communicates to the Subadviser in writing, and applicable law, and will use its best efforts to safeguard and promote the welfare of the Fund and to comply with other policies which the Adviser or the Trustees may from time to time determine and communicate to the Subadviser, and shall exercise the same care and diligence expected of the Adviser.

(g) The Subadviser will maintain all accounts, books and records with respect to the Portfolios as are required: (i) by subparagraphs (b)(5), (6), (7), (9), (10) and (11) and paragraph (f) of Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act; and (ii) of an investment adviser of a registered investment company pursuant to the Advisers Act and the rules thereunder. The Subadviser will keep the books and records relating to the Portfolios required to be maintained by the Subadviser under this Agreement and shall timely furnish to the Adviser all information related to the Subadviser’s services under this Agreement needed by the Adviser to keep the other books and records of a Fund required by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Subadviser agrees that all records it maintains on behalf of a Fund are property of the Fund and the Subadviser will surrender promptly to a fund any such records upon the Fund’s request.

(h) The Subadviser shall not be obligated to pay any expenses of or for the Adviser or any Fund not expressly assumed by the Subadviser pursuant to this Section 1.

(i) The Subadviser acknowledges that the Adviser will vote the shares of all securities that are held in a Portfolio.

(j) The Subadviser shall not be responsible for the preparation or filing of any other reports required of a Portfolio or a Fund by any governmental or regulatory agency, except as expressly agreed to in writing.

(k) The Adviser will be primarily responsible for taking action on behalf of the Trust in any contemplated or actual legal proceedings, including, but not limited to, bankruptcies, tax reclaims or class actions, involving the issuers of securities held or formerly held as part or all of the Portfolios. The Subadviser agrees to provide reasonable assistance when requested by the Trust or the Adviser with respect to any such contemplated or actual legal proceedings, including, but not limited to, bankruptcies, tax reclaims or class actions, involving the issuers of securities held or formerly held as part or all of the Portfolio.

OTHER AGREEMENTS, ETC.

F-20

Subadviser and any person controlled by or under common control with the Subadviser may have an interest in such Fund. It is also understood that the Subadviser and any person controlled by or under common control with the Subadviser have and may have advisory, management, service or other contracts with other organizations and persons, and may have other interests and business, including proprietary interests in managed accounts and/or in Portfolio investments. It is further understood that the Subadviser shall have no obligation to acquire for a Portfolio a position in any investment which a proprietary or affiliated account may acquire if, due to the timing of cash flows or other externalities, or in the reasonable determination of the Subadviser and consistent with its internal policies, such investment is not advisable for the Portfolio.

COMPENSATION.

The Adviser will pay to the Subadviser, as compensation for the Subadviser’s services rendered, a fee, at the annual rate set forth in Schedule B of average aggregate net asset value of the assets in a Portfolio; provided, however, that the Subadviser may voluntarily waive all or a portion of such fees by written notice to the Adviser.

Such average net asset value shall be determined by taking an average of all of the determinations of such net asset value during a quarter at the close of business on each business day of a Fund during such quarter while this Agreement is in effect. Such fee shall be payable for each quarter within 30 days after the close of such quarter. The Subadviser shall look only to the Adviser for payment of its fees. No Fund shall have any responsibility for paying any fees due the Subadviser.

If the Subadviser shall serve for less than the whole of a quarter, the foregoing compensation shall be prorated.

ASSIGNMENT TERMINATES THIS agreement; AMENDMENTS OF THIS agreement.

This Agreement shall automatically terminate without the payment of any penalty, in the event of its assignment, as that term is used in the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder; and this Agreement shall not be amended with respect to any Fund unless such amendment be approved (a) at a meeting by the vote, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, of a majority of the Trustees of the Fund who are not interested persons of the Fund or of the Adviser or Subadviser; and (b) to the extent required by the 1940 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and any applicable guidance or interpretation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff, by the affirmative vote of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

EFFECTIVE PERIOD AND TERMINATION OF THIS agreement.

This Agreement shall become effective upon its execution, and shall remain in full force and effect continuously thereafter (unless terminated automatically as set forth in Section 4) for an initial period of two years from the date of this Contract, and will continue in effect from year to year thereafter until terminated as follows:

(a) Either party or, with respect to any Portfolio, the related Fund may at any time terminate this Agreement by not more than sixty days’ nor less than thirty days’ written notice delivered or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the other party, or

F-21

(b) With respect to any Portfolio, if (i) the Trustees of the related Fund or the shareholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of such Fund, and (ii) a majority of the Trustees of such Fund who are not interested persons of such Fund or of the Adviser, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, do not specifically approve at least annually the continuance of this Agreement, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the close of business on the anniversary of its execution, or upon the expiration of one year from the effective date of the last such continuance, whichever is later, or

(c) With respect to any Fund, automatically upon termination of the Adviser’s investment management contract with the Fund.

Action by a Fund under (a) above may be taken either (i) by vote of a majority of its Trustees, or (ii) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of such Fund.

Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5 will be without the payment of any penalty.

CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.

For the purposes of this Agreement, the “affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of a Fund” means the affirmative vote, at a duly called and held meeting of shareholders of such Fund, (a) of the holders of 67% or more of the shares of such Fund present (in person or by proxy) and entitled to vote at such meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of such Fund entitled to vote at such meeting are present in person or by proxy, or (b) of the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of such Fund entitled to vote at such meeting, whichever is less.

For the purposes of this Agreement, the terms “affiliated person,” “control,” “interested person” and “assignment” shall have their respective meanings defined in the 1940 Act, subject, however, to such exemptions as may be granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1940 Act; the term “specifically approve at least annually” shall be construed in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act, and the Rules and Regulations thereunder; and the term “brokerage and research services” shall have the meaning given in the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Rules and Regulations thereunder.

NON-LIABILITY OF SUBADVISER.

In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Subadviser, or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder, the Subadviser shall not be subject to any liability to the Adviser, any Fund or to any shareholder of any Fund, for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder.

F-22

USE OF NAME

The Subadviser consents to and grants a non-exclusive license for the use by the Funds, in their names or otherwise, of the name “PanAgora” (the “PanAgora Name”) and any derivatives thereof, as well as any logos that are now or shall hereafter be associated with the PanAgora Name, which are the valuable property of the Subadviser. In the event that this Agreement is terminated and the Subadviser no longer acts as subadviser to the Funds, the Subadviser reserves the right to withdraw such license from the Funds, the uses of the PanAgora Name and logos or any such name or logo misleadingly implying a continuing relationship between a Fund and the Adviser or any of its affiliates.

APPLICABLE LAW

This Agreement is made in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and it is to be governed by and construed and administered according to the laws of said Commonwealth. Should any part of this Agreement be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

F-23

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be read, (i) to create in any shareholder or person other than the Fund in question (including without limitation any shareholder in any Fund) any direct, indirect, derivative, or other rights against the Adviser or Subadviser, or (ii) to create or give rise to any duty or obligation on the part of the Adviser or Subadviser (including without limitation any fiduciary duty) to any shareholder or person other than the Fund, and all of the rights, duties, and obligations referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) are hereby expressly excluded from this Agreement.

(d) The Subadviser represents and warrants that it is either registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a commodity trading advisor and is a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”), or is not required to be registered with the CFTC or to be a member of the NFA.

* Management fee is not annualized, but instead represents the actual fees paid from the Fund’s commencement on January 19, 2023 through its fiscal year end on April 30, 2023.

# In return for the management fee, Putnam Management provides the fund with investment management and bears the fund’s organizational and operating expenses, excluding performance fee adjustments, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage, interest, taxes, investment-related expenses, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses. This fee structure is sometimes referred to as an “all in” or “unitary” management fee.

† Management fees reflect the management fee rate under the fund’s prior management contract. The Fund’s current management contract took effect after the conclusion of the October 31, 2022 fiscal year.

± Management fees reflect the management fee rate under the fund’s prior management contract (for the period from September 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022) and the fund’s current management contract (for the period from July 1, 2022 through August 31, 2022).
