THE PROPOSAL: ELECTION OF TRUSTEES HOW ARE NOMINEES SELECTED? The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the "Board" or the "Trustees") has a Nominating Committee (the "Committee") consisting of Frank H. Abbott, III, Harris J. Ashton, Robert F. Carlson, S. Joseph Fortunato, Frank W.T. LaHaye and Gordon S. Macklin, Chairman, none of whom is an "interested person" as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund are referred to as "Independent Trustees." The Committee is responsible for the selection and nomination of candidates to serve as Trustee of the Fund. The Committee will review shareholders' nominations to fill vacancies on the Board if these nominations are submitted in writing and addressed to the Committee at the Fund's offices. However, the Committee expects to be able to identify from its own resources an ample number of qualified candidates. WHO ARE THE NOMINEES AND CURRENT MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES? The Board of Trustees (the "Board") is divided into three classes, each class having a term of three years. Each year the term of office of one class expires. This year, the terms of three Trustees expire. Frank H. Abbott, III, Harris J. Ashton, and Gordon S. Macklin have been nominated for three-year terms, set to expire at the 2005 Annual Shareholders' Meeting. These terms continue, however, until successors are duly elected and qualified to serve. All of the nominees are currently members of the Board. In addition, all of the current nominees and the Trustees are also directors and/or trustees of other investment companies in Franklin Templeton Investments. Certain Trustees of the Fund hold director and/or officer positions with Franklin Resources, Inc. ("Resources") and its affiliates. Resources is a publicly owned holding company, the principal shareholders of which are Charles B. Johnson and Rupert H. Johnson, Jr., who own approximately 17.7% and 14.6%, respectively, of its outstanding shares. Resources is primarily engaged, through its various subsidiaries, in providing investment management, share distribution, transfer agent and administrative services to Franklin Templeton Investments. Resources is a New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") listed holding company (NYSE: BEN). Charles B. Johnson, Chairman of the Board and Trustee of the Fund, and Rupert H. Johnson, Jr., Senior Vice President and Trustee of the Fund, who are brothers, are the father and uncle, respectively, of Charles E. Johnson, Vice President of the Fund, and Gregory E. Johnson, Vice President of the Fund. Each nominee is currently eligible and has consented to serve if elected. If any of the nominees should become unavailable, the persons named in the proxy card will vote in their discretion for another person or persons who may be nominated as Trustees. Listed below, for each nominee and Trustee, is a brief description of recent professional experience, ownership of shares of the Fund and shares of all funds in Franklin Templeton Investments.

These portfolios have a common investment adviser or affiliated investment advisers. **Charles B. Johnson and Rupert H. Johnson, Jr. are considered interested persons of the Trust under the federal securities laws due to their positions as officers and directors and major shareholders of Franklin Resources, Inc., which is the parent company of the Trust's adviser and distributor. Edward B. Jamieson is considered an interested person of the Trust under the federal securities laws due to his position as Executive Vice President of Franklin Advisers, Inc., which is the Trust's adviser. Board members historically have followed a policy of having substantial investments in one or more of the funds in Franklin Templeton Investments, as is consistent with their individual financial goals. In February 1998, this policy was formalized through adoption of a requirement that each board member invest one-third of fees received for serving as a director or trustee of a Templeton fund in shares of one or more Templeton funds and one-third of fees received for serving as a director or trustee of a Franklin fund in shares of one or more Franklin funds until the value of such investments equals or exceeds five times the annual fees paid such board member. Investments in the name of family members or entities controlled by a board member constitute fund holdings of such board member for purposes of this policy, and a three year phase-in period applies to such investment requirements for newly elected board members. In implementing such policy, a board member's fund holdings existing on February 27, 1998, were valued as of such date with subsequent investments valued at cost. The following tables provide the dollar range of the equity securities of the Fund and of funds in Franklin Templeton Investments beneficially owned by the Fund's Trustees as of June 30, 2002.

The role of the Trustees is to provide general oversight of the Fund's business, and to ensure that the Fund is operated for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees anticipate meeting at least 11 times during the current fiscal year to review the operations of the Fund and the Fund's investment performance. The Trustees also oversee the services furnished to the Fund by Franklin Advisers, Inc., the Fund's investment manager (the "Investment Manager"), and various other service providers. The Fund pays the Independent Trustees $60 per month plus $40 per meeting attended. Board members who serve on the Audit Committee of the Fund and other funds in Franklin Templeton Investments receive a flat fee of $2,000 per committee meeting attended, a portion of which is allocated to the Fund. Members of a committee are not separately compensated for any committee meeting held on the day of a Board meeting. Fees payable by the Fund to certain Trustees are subject to reduction resulting from fee caps adopted by the boards in Franklin Templeton Investments limiting the total amount of fees payable to trustees who serve on other boards within Franklin Templeton Investments. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, there were 10 meetings of the Board, three meetings of the Audit Committee, and one meeting of the Nominating Committee. Each of the Trustees attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board. There was 100% attendance at two of the meetings of the Audit Committee and a quorum was present at the third meeting of the Audit Committee. There was 100% attendance at the meeting of the Nominating Committee. Certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund are shareholders of Resources and may be deemed to receive indirect remuneration due to their participation in the management fees and other fees received from Franklin Templeton Investments by the Investment Manager and its affiliates. The Investment Manager or its affiliates pay the salaries and expenses of the Officers. No pension or retirement benefits are accrued as part of Fund expenses.

This number does not include the total number of series or funds within each investment company for which the Board members are responsible. The table above indicates the total fees paid to Independent Trustees by the Fund individually and then by all of the funds in Franklin Templeton Investments. These Trustees also serve as directors or trustees of other investment companies in Franklin Templeton Investments, many of which hold meetings at different dates and times. The Trustees and the Fund's management believe that having the same individuals serving on the boards of many of the funds in Franklin Templeton Investments enhances the ability of each fund to obtain, at a relatively modest cost to each separate fund, the services of high caliber, experienced and knowledgeable Independent Trustees who can more effectively oversee the management of the funds.

PwC did not render any services with respect to financial information systems design and implementation during the calendar year ended December 3l, 2002 to the Fund or entities affiliated with the Fund that provide services to the Fund. ALL OTHER FEES.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT. The Fund's Board of Trustees has adopted and approved a formal written charter for the Audit Committee, which sets forth the Audit Committee's responsibilities. A copy of the charter is attached as "Appendix A" to this proxy statement. As required by the charter, the Audit Committee reviewed the Fund's audited financial statements and met with management, as well as with PwC, the Fund's independent auditors, to discuss the financial statements. The Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from PwC required by Independence Standards Board No. 1. The Audit Committee also received the report of PwC regarding the results of their audit. In connection with their review of the financial statements and the auditors' report, the members of the Audit Committee discussed with a representative of PWC, the independence of PwC, as well as the following: the auditors' responsibilities in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; the auditors' responsibilities for information prepared by management that accompanies the Fund's audited financial statements and any procedures performed and the results; the initial selection of, and whether there were any changes in, significant accounting policies or their application; management's judgments and accounting estimates; whether there were any significant audit adjustments; whether there were any disagreements with management; whether there was any consultation with other accountants; whether there were any major issues discussed with management prior to the auditors' retention; whether the auditors encountered any difficulties in dealing with management in performing the audit; and the auditors' judgments about the quality of the company's accounting principles. Based on its discussions with management and the Fund's auditors, the Audit Committee did not become aware of any material misstatements or omissions in the financial statements. Accordingly, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Trustees that the audited financial statements be included in the Fund's Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 for filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. AUDIT COMMITTEE Frank W.T. LaHaye (Chairman) Frank H. Abbott, III Robert F. Carlson FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING AND THE MEETING SOLICITATION OF PROXIES. Your vote is being solicited by the Board. The cost of soliciting these proxies will be borne by the Fund. The Fund reimburses brokerage firms and others for their expenses in forwarding proxy material to the beneficial owners and soliciting them to execute their proxies. The Fund expects that the solicitation will be primarily by mail, but also may include telephone, telecopy or oral solicitations. The Fund does not reimburse Trustees and Officers of the Fund, or regular employees and agents of the Investment Manager involved in the solicitation of proxies. The Fund intends to pay all costs associated with the solicitation and the Meeting. VOTING BY BROKER-DEALERS. The Fund expects that, before the Meeting, broker-dealer firms holding shares of the Fund in "street name" for their customers will request voting instructions from their customers and beneficial owners. If these instructions are not received by the date specified in the broker-dealer firms' proxy solicitation materials, the Fund understands that NYSE Rules permit the broker-dealers to vote on the Proposal to be considered at the Meeting on behalf of their customers and beneficial owners. Certain broker-dealers may exercise discretion over shares held in their name for which no instructions are received by voting those shares in the same proportion as they vote shares for which they received instructions. QUORUM. Forty percent of the shares entitled to vote - present in person or represented by proxy - constitutes a quorum at the Meeting. The shares over which broker-dealers have discretionary voting power, the shares that represent "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 persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter), and the shares whose proxies reflect an abstention on any item are all counted as shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether the required quorum of shares exists. REQUIRED VOTE. Provided that a quorum is present, the Proposal to elect Trustees requires that the three nominees receiving the greatest number of votes be elected. All voting rights are non-cumulative, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of Trustees can elect 100% of such Trustees if they choose to do so, and in such event, the holders of the remaining shares voting will not be able to elect any Trustees. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as votes present at the meeting, but will not be treated as votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes, therefore, will not be counted for purposes of obtaining approval of the Proposal. ADJOURNMENT. In the event that a quorum is not present at the Meeting, the Meeting may be adjourned to permit further solicitation of proxies. In the event that a quorum is present, but sufficient votes have not been received to elect three trustees, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit the further solicitation of proxies for a period or periods of not more than 60 days in the aggregate. The persons named as proxies will vote in their discretion on questions of adjournment those shares for which proxies have been received that grant discretionary authority to vote on matters that may properly come before the Meeting. SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS. The Fund anticipates that its next annual meeting will be held in September, 2003. Shareholder proposals to be presented at the next annual meeting must be received at the Fund's offices, One Franklin Parkway, San Mateo, California 94403, Attention: Secretary no later than April 2, 2003, in order to be included in the Fund's proxy statement and proxy card relating to that meeting and presented at that meeting. Submission of a proposal by a shareholder does not guarantee that the proposal will be included in the proxy statement. A shareholder who wishes to make a proposal at the 2003 Annual Shareholders' Meeting without including the proposal in the Fund's proxy statement should notify the Fund at the Fund's offices, of such proposal by June 16, 2003. If a shareholder fails to give notice by this date, then the persons named as proxies in the proxies solicited by the Board for the 2003 Annual Shareholders' Meeting may exercise discretionary voting power with respect to any such proposal. No business other than the matters described above is expected to come before the Meeting, but should any other matter requiring a vote of shareholders arise, including any question as to an adjournment or postponement of the Meeting, the persons named on the enclosed proxy card will vote on such matters in accordance with the views of management. By order of the Board of Trustees, Murray L. Simpson SECRETARY Dated: July 31, 2002 San Mateo, California APPENDIX A AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER FOR FRANKLIN UNIVERSAL TRUST AND FRANKLIN MULTI-INCOME TRUST 1. The Audit Committee for Franklin Multi-Income Trust and Franklin Universal Trust (the "Funds") shall be composed entirely of independent directors and shall consist of not less than three such directors. Independent Directors shall mean non-interested directors/trustees as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") and who meet the requirements of Independence provided in Section 303 of Section 3 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, as set forth in greater detail in Exhibit A hereto. Audit Committee members for each Fund shall be selected by a majority of the Independent Directors of such Fund. It shall be a premise of this Charter that the outside auditor for the Fund is ultimately accountable to the Board of Trustees and the audit committee of the Fund. 2. The purposes of the Audit Committee are: (a) to assure that outside auditors have been engaged to review such annual and interim financial statements of the Fund as may from time to time be required to be reviewed by outside auditors by rule of the SEC or of the NYSE; (b) to oversee the Funds' accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, its internal controls and, as appropriate, the internal controls of certain service providers; (c) to oversee the quality and objectivity of the Funds' financial statements and the independent audit thereof; (d) to act as a liaison between the Funds' independent auditors and the full Board of Directors; and (e) to consider such other matters as may be appropriate in carrying out the above responsibilities and other matters that may be assigned it by the Board. The function of the Audit Committee is oversight; it is management's responsibility to maintain appropriate systems for accounting and internal control, and the auditor's responsibility to plan and carry out a proper audit. It is also recognized that the Boards of the Funds normally meet on a monthly basis and that actions, including those required of independent directors under the Act, which impact on the integrity of the Funds financial and other operations, may be effected at such Board meetings rather than at meetings of the Audit Committee. 3. To carry out its purposes, the Audit Committee shall have the following duties and powers; (a) to recommend to the Board of Trustees, the selection, retention or termination of auditors (or to nominate the outside auditor to be proposed for shareholder approval in any proxy statement) and, in connection therewith, (b) to evaluate the independence of the auditors, by assuring receipt and review on a periodic basis, of a formal written statement from the outside auditor, delineating all relationships between the auditor and the Fund and its management; by actively engaging in a dialogue with the outside auditor with respect to any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the outside auditor. If necessary, by recommending that the Board of Trustees take appropriate action in response to the outside auditors' report to satisfy itself of the outside auditor's independence, (c) to meet with the Funds' independent auditors, including private meetings, as necessary (i) to review the arrangements for and scope of the annual audit and any special audits; (ii) to discuss any matters of concern relating to the Funds' financial statements, including any adjustments to such statements recommended by the auditors, or other results of said audit(s); (iii) to consider the auditors' comments with respect to the Funds' financial policies, procedures and internal accounting controls and management's responses thereto; and (iv) to review the form of opinion the auditors propose to render to the Board and shareholders; (d) to consider the effect upon the Funds of any changes in accounting principles or practices proposed by management or the auditors; (e) to review the fee arrangements of the independent auditors as negotiated by management; (f) to investigate improprieties or suspected improprieties in fund operations; and (g) to report its activities to the full Board and make such recommendations with respect to the above and other matters as the Committee may deem necessary or appropriate. 4. The Committee shall have unrestricted access to the Funds' independent accountants as well as the Funds' treasurer and other financial and executive officers of the Funds and management. 5. The Committee shall meet as frequently as circumstances require with at least one meeting being held with the Funds' independent auditors absent the presence of management. 6. The Committee shall have the resources and authority appropriate to discharge its responsibilities, including the authority to retain special counsel and other experts or consultants at the expense of the appropriate Funds. 7. The Committee shall review this Charter at least annually and recommend any changes to the full Board of Directors. EXHIBIT A REQUIREMENTS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEE MEMBERS FINANCIAL LITERACY - Each member of the audit committee shall be financially literate (or become so within a reasonable period time after appointment) as determined by the Fund's Board of Trustees in its business judgment. At least one member of the audit committee must have accounting or related financial management expertise, as the Board of Trustees interprets such qualification in its business judgment. INDEPENDENCE. The following restrictions shall apply to every audit committee member: (A) Employees. A director who is an employee (including non-employee executive officers) of the company or any of its affiliates may not serve on the audit committee until three years following the termination of his or her employment. In the event the employment relationship is with a former parent or predecessor of the company, the director could serve on the audit committee after three years following the termination of the relationship between the company and the former parent or predecessor. (B) Business Relationship. A director (i) who is a partner, controlling shareholder, or executive officer of an organization that has a business relationship with the company, or (ii) who has a direct business relationship with the company (e.g., a consultant) may serve on the audit committee only if the company's Board of Directors determines in its business judgment that the relationship does not interfere with the director's exercise of independent judgment. In making a determination regarding the independence of a director pursuant to this paragraph, the Board of Directors should consider, among other things, the materiality of the relationship to the company, to the director, and, if applicable, to the organization with which the director is affiliated. "Business relationships" can include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting and other relationships. A director can have this relationship directly with the company, or the director can be a partner, officer or employee of an organization that has such a relationship. The director may serve on the audit committee without the above-referenced Board of Directors' determination after three years following the termination of, as applicable, either (1) the relationship between the organization with which the director is affiliated and the company, (2) the relationship between the director and his or her partnership status, shareholder interest or executive officer position, or (3) the direct business relationship between the director and the company. (C) Cross Compensation Committee Link. A director who is employed as an executive of another corporation where any of the company's executives serves on that corporation's compensation committee may not serve on the audit committee. (D) Immediate Family. A director who is an Immediate Family member of an individual who is an executive officer of the company or any of its affiliates cannot serve on the audit committee until three years following the termination of such employment relationship. (E) Notwithstanding the requirements set forth above, one director who is no longer an employee or who is an Immediate Family member of a former executive officer of the company or its affiliates, but is not considered independent pursuant to these provisions due to the three-year restriction period, may be appointed, under exceptional and limited circumstances, to the audit committee if the company's board of directors determines in its business judgment that membership on the committee by the individual is required by the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders, and the company discloses, in the next annual proxy statement subsequent to such determination, the nature of the relationship and the reasons for that determination. DEFINITIONS (A) "Immediate Family" includes a person's spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers-in-law and fathers-in-law, sons and daughters-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-law, and anyone (other than employees) who shares such person's home. (B) "Affiliate" includes a subsidiary, sibling company, predecessor, parent company, or former parent company. (C) "Officer" shall have the meaning specified in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or any successor rule.
