IMPORTANT - ACTION REQUIRED: Proxy Vote for Western Asset Institutional U.S. Treasury Reserves - please vote before September 25th 

  

Dear Valued Shareholder:  

You may recall we wrote to you recently concerning a proxy solicitation for the Western Asset Institutional U.S. Treasury Reserves money market mutual fund (the Fund). The Special Meeting (where proxy votes are counted) was adjourned to September 25th as insufficient votes were received for the fund to pass its legal quorum.  

As we have not yet received your vote it would be extremely helpful if you could take action by voting FOR or AGAINST or ABSTAIN.  

It is important that your firm votes, regardless of how you vote, as your vote will help the Fund achieve quorum. 

By way of reminder, your firm held shares in the Fund through Silicon Valley Bank's Sweep Program as of the April 15, 2020 record date, and it is important that we ensure you have the opportunity to vote prior to the Special Meeting to be held on September 25, 2020.

Reason for the Proxy Vote  

On July 31, 2020, Legg Mason, Inc., the parent company of Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC (the Fund's investment manager) and Western Asset Management Company, LLC (the Fund's subadviser) was acquired by Franklin Resources, Inc. Under federal law, this change in ownership requires shareholders of the Fund to approve new investment management and subadvisory agreements. Your vote is very important.  

The Special Meeting of the Fund's shareholders will take place at 4:30 p.m., (Eastern Time), September 25, 2020.  

If you have any questions about the proxy materials or the proposals, please call us at 1-888-916-1719. The Proxy Statement and other pertinent documents can be found at: https://www.proxy-direct.com/lmf-31280.
