LEGAL 3 legal.txt LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 1 REGULATORY MATTERS Massachusetts Administrative Proceeding On September 20, 2004, Franklin Resources, Inc. (Franklin Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries are referred to collectively as the "Company") announced that an agreement has been reached by two of its subsidiaries, Franklin Advisers, Inc. ("Franklin Advisers") and Franklin Templeton Alternative Strategies, Inc. ("FTAS"), with the Securities Division of the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the "State of Massachusetts") related to an administrative complaint filed on February 4, 2004. The administrative complaint addressed one instance of market timing that was also a subject of the August 2, 2004 settlement that Franklin Advisers reached with the SEC, as described below. Under the terms of the settlement consent order issued by the State of Massachusetts, Franklin Advisers and FTAS have consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order and agreed to pay a $5 million administrative fine to the State of Massachusetts. The consent order has multiple sections, including "Statements of Fact" and "Violations of Massachusetts Securities Laws." The Company admitted the "Statements of Fact." The Company did not admit or deny the "Violations of the Massachusetts Securities Laws." While Franklin Advisers and FTAS did not admit or deny engaging in any wrongdoing, the Company believes that it is in its best interest and the interests of its funds' shareholders to settle this issue now and move forward. On October 25, 2004, the State of Massachusetts filed an administrative complaint against Franklin Resources, Inc. ("FRI") alleging a violation of the Massachusetts Uniform Securities law (the "Act") in connection with having filed on September 20, 2004, an allegedly false and misleading report on Form 8-K with the SEC. The Massachusetts administrative complaint seeks an order calling for FRI to cease and desist from further violations of the Act and to pay an administrative fine in an amount to be determined. FRI's SEC filing of September 20, 2004 described the settlement consent order with the State of Massachusetts and reported while "Franklin Advisers and FTAS did not admit or deny engaging in any wrongdoing, the Company believes that it is in the best interest of the Company and its funds' shareholders to settle this issue now and move forward." The October 25, 2004 State of Massachusetts administrative complaint alleges that this description of the settlement consent order was materially false and misleading under Massachusetts law. FRI's management disagrees with the allegation made in this administrative complaint and continues to believe that the description of the terms of the settlement consent order issued by the State of Massachusetts is neither false nor misleading. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Settlement On August 2, 2004, the Company announced that an agreement has been reached by Franklin Advisers with the SEC that resolves the issues resulting from the SEC's investigation of market timing activity and the SEC issued an "Order instituting administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings pursuant to sections 203(e) and 203(k) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and sections 9(b) and 9(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, making findings and imposing remedial sanctions and a cease-and-desist order" (the "Order"). The SEC's Order concerns the activities of a limited number of third parties that ended in 2000 and those that are the subject of the Massachusetts administrative complaint described above. Under the terms of the SEC's Order, pursuant to which Franklin Advisers neither admits nor denies any wrongdoing, Franklin Advisers has agreed to pay $50 million, of which $20 million is a civil penalty, to be distributed to shareholders of certain funds in accordance with a plan to be developed by an Independent Distribution Consultant. At this time, it is unclear which funds will receive distributions or which shareholders of any particular fund will receive distributions. The SEC Order also requires Franklin Advisers to, among other things, enhance and periodically review compliance policies and procedures. Other Governmental Investigations As part of ongoing investigations by the SEC, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California, the New York Attorney General, the California Attorney General, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, the Florida Department of Financial Services and the Commissioner of Securities, the West Virginia Attorney General, the Vermont Department of Banking, Insurance, Securities, and Health Care Administration and the National Association of Securities Dealers, relating to certain practices in the mutual fund industry, including late trading, market timing and payments to securities dealers who sell fund shares, the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as certain current or former executives and employees of the Company, have received requests for information and/or subpoenas to testify or produce documents. The Company and its current employees have been providing documents and information in response to these requests and subpoenas. In addition, the Company has responded to requests for similar kinds of information from regulatory authorities in some of the foreign countries where the Company conducts its global asset management business. The staff of the SEC has also informed the Company that it is considering recommending a civil action or proceeding against Franklin Advisers and Franklin Templeton Distributors, Inc. ("FTDI") concerning payments to securities dealers who sell fund shares (commonly referred to as "revenue sharing"). The staff of the California Attorney General's Office ("CAGO") also has advised the Company that the California Attorney General is authorized to bring a civil action against the Company and FTDI arising from the same events. Even though the Company currently believes that the charges the SEC staff and CAGO staff are contemplating are unwarranted, it also believes that it is in the best interest of the Company's and funds' shareholders to resolve these issues voluntarily, to the extent the Company can reasonably do so. The Company continues to have discussions towards resolving these governmental investigations. Other Legal Proceedings The Company in addition to other entities within Franklin Templeton Investments, including the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, other funds, and current and former officers, employees, and directors have been named in multiple lawsuits in different federal courts in Nevada, California, Illinois, New York and Florida, alleging violations of various federal securities laws and seeking, among other things, monetary damages and costs. Specifically, the lawsuits claim breach of duty with respect to alleged arrangements to permit market timing and/or late trading activity, or breach of duty with respect to the valuation of the portfolio securities of certain funds managed by Company subsidiaries, resulting in alleged market timing activity. The majority of these lawsuits duplicate, in whole or in part, the allegations asserted in the Massachusetts administrative complaint described above. The lawsuits are styled as class actions or derivative actions on behalf of either the named funds or the Company. Various subsidiaries of the Company have also been named in multiple lawsuits filed in state courts in Illinois alleging breach of duty with respect to valuation of the portfolio securities of certain funds managed by such subsidiaries. In addition, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as well as certain current and former officers, employees, and directors have been named in multiple lawsuits alleging violations of various securities laws and pendent state law claims relating to the disclosure of directed brokerage payments and/or payment of allegedly excessive advisory, commission, and distribution fees. These lawsuits are styled as class actions and derivative actions brought on behalf of certain funds. The Company's management strongly believes that the claims made in each of these lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. The Company cannot predict with certainty the eventual outcome of the foregoing governmental investigations or class actions or other lawsuits. If the Company finds that it bears responsibility for any unlawful or inappropriate conduct that caused losses to the Fund, it is committed to making the Fund or its shareholders whole, as appropriate.
