What is happening?

A Special Joint Meeting of Shareholders of the Franklin Templeton funds, including their various series, will be held on October 30, 2017, to vote on several important proposals that affect the Funds.

Who will bear the costs associated with the proxy solicitation?

The cost of soliciting proxies, including the fees of a proxy solicitation agent, will be borne by the Funds.

Why is it so important that I vote?

When shareholders return their proxies promptly, the Funds may be able to save money by not having to conduct additional solicitations, including other mailings. If you own shares of more than one Fund, you will receive a proxy card or voting instruction form FOR EACH FUND in which you own shares. PLEASE COMPLETE, SIGN AND RETURN each proxy card or voting instruction form you receive.

Who is AST Fund Solutions?

AST Fund Solutions, LLC (the “Solicitor”) is a company that has been engaged by the Trusts, on behalf of the Funds, to assist in the solicitation of proxies. The Solicitor is not affiliated with the Funds or with Franklin Templeton Investments. In order to hold a shareholder meeting, a certain percentage of a Fund’s shares (often referred to as “quorum”) must be represented at the meeting. If a quorum is not attained, the meeting must adjourn to a future date. The Funds may attempt to reach shareholders through multiple mailings to remind the shareholders to cast their vote. As the meeting approaches, phone calls may be made to shareholders who have not yet voted their shares so that the meeting does not have to be adjourned or postponed. (Mentioned on page Q&A 4 of the proxy statement)

Why did I receive more than one proxy card?

If you own shares of more than one Fund, you will receive a proxy card or voting instruction form FOR EACH FUND in which you own shares. PLEASE COMPLETE, SIGN AND RETURN each proxy card or voting instruction form you receive.

What is a fundamental investment restriction?

The Funds, like all mutual funds, are required by law to adopt fundamental investment restrictions governing certain investment activities. The 1940 Act requires that any modification or elimination of a Fund’s fundamental investment restrictions must be approved by the Fund’s shareholders.

PROPOSAL 1: To Elect a Board of Trustees for the Trust (all Funds)
 
What role does the Board play?

The Board of each Trust has the responsibility for looking after the interests of the shareholders of the Funds comprising that Trust. As such, the Board has an obligation to serve the best interests of shareholders in providing oversight of a Fund, including approving policy changes. In addition, the Board, among other things, reviews a Fund’s performance, oversees a Fund’s activities, and reviews contractual arrangements with a Fund’s service providers.

What is the affiliation of the Board and Franklin Templeton Investments?

Each Board is currently, and is proposed to continue to be, composed of over 75% “independent” trustees and two “interested” trustees. Trustees are determined to be “interested” by virtue of, among other things, their affiliation with the Franklin Templeton funds or with Franklin Templeton Investments as fund management. Independent trustees have no affiliation with Franklin Templeton Investments and are compensated by each individual Trust that they serve.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES TO THE BOARD
 
For Internal Distribution Only
FT.2

PROPOSAL 2: For certain Funds, to approve the use of a “manager of managers” structure whereby the Fund’s investment manager would be able to hire and replace subadvisers without shareholder approval.

(For purposes of Proposal 2, the term “Fund” shall refer to each Fund except Franklin Corefolio Allocation Fund, Franklin Focused Growth Fund, Franklin Flexible Alpha Bond Fund, Franklin Founding Funds Allocation Fund, Franklin Global Listed Infrastructure Fund, Franklin India Growth Fund, Franklin LifeSmartTM Retirement Income Fund, Franklin NextStep Funds, Franklin Payout Funds, Franklin Templeton Money Fund Trust, Franklin U.S. Government Money Fund, Institutional Fiduciary Trust – Money Market Portfolio, Templeton Foreign Smaller Companies Fund, Templeton Global Currency Fund and Templeton Global Smaller Companies Fund.)

What is the purpose of the Manager of Managers Structure?

Shareholders of each Fund are being asked to approve the use of a “manager of managers” structure that would permit the Fund’s investment manager, subject to Board approval, to appoint and replace subadvisers that are affiliated with Franklin Templeton Investments, and subadvisers that are not affiliated with Franklin Templeton Investments, without obtaining prior shareholder approval (the “Manager of Managers Structure”). The Manager of Managers Structure would enable each Fund to operate with greater efficiency in the future by allowing the Fund to use both affiliated and unaffiliated subadvisers best suited to its needs without incurring the expense and potential delays that could be associated with obtaining shareholder approvals.

How will the Manager of Managers Structure affect my Fund?

If the proposal is approved for a Fund, and the Trust’s Board and the Fund’s investment manager believe that the use of one or more subadvisers would be in the best interests of the Fund, the Fund’s shareholders generally would not be asked to approve hiring a subadviser for the Fund, assuming the conditions of the Manager of Managers Order are met. Rather, a Fund’s investment manager, with the approval of the Fund’s Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, would be able to appoint subadvisers and make appropriate changes to the subadvisory agreements without seeking shareholder approval. The Fund would, however, inform shareholders of the hiring of any new subadviser within 90 days after the hiring of the subadviser.

Will the Manager of Managers Structure change the fees paid by the Fund?

The use of the Manager of Managers Structure will not change the fees paid to the investment manager by a Fund or fees paid by the Fund’s shareholders.

Do the Funds currently intend to use the Manager of Managers Structure?

The Funds currently do not intend to use the Manager of Managers Structure. The Board of each Trust determined to seek shareholder approval of the Manager of Managers Structure for each Fund in connection with this joint special shareholder meeting, which was otherwise called for purposes of voting on other matters described in the proxy statement, to avoid additional meeting and proxy solicitation costs in the future.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 2
 
For Internal Distribution Only
FT.3

PROPOSAL 3: For all Funds, to approve an amended fundamental investment restriction regarding investments in commodities.

What is the fundamental investment restriction regarding investments in commodities?

The 1940 Act requires every investment company to adopt a fundamental investment restriction governing investments in commodities. A “fundamental” investment restriction may be modified only by a vote of a majority of the investment company’s outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act). The Funds’ current fundamental investment restrictions regarding investments in commodities are substantially similar, though not identical, and they are detailed in Exhibit F to the proxy statement.

What will be the effect of the amended fundamental investment restriction regarding investments in commodities?

Since the initial adoption of this restriction for the Funds, the financial markets and regulatory requirements regarding commodities and commodity interests have evolved. New types of financial instruments have become available as potential investment opportunities, including commodity-linked instruments. The Funds’ investment managers believe that it is in the Funds’ best interests to amend the current fundamental investment restrictions in order to provide the Funds with the flexibility to adapt to continuously changing regulation and to react to changes in the financial markets and the development of new investment opportunities and instruments, in accordance with each Fund’s investment goal and subject to oversight by the Fund’s Board. Under the proposed restriction, if current applicable law were to change, the Funds would be able to conform to any such new law without shareholders taking further action.

Is the proposed amended fundamental investment restriction expected to affect the way the Fund is currently managed?

The Boards and the Funds’ investment managers do not anticipate that the proposed amended fundamental investment restriction regarding investments in commodities would involve additional material risk to any Fund or affect the way any Fund is currently managed or operated. The Board of each Trust determined to seek shareholder approval of the amended fundamental restriction regarding investments in commodities for each Fund in connection with this joint special shareholder meeting, which was otherwise called for purposes of voting on other matters described in the proxy statement, to avoid additional meeting and proxy solicitation costs in the future.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 3

PROPOSAL 4: For Franklin Small-Mid Cap Growth Fund, Templeton Global Balanced Fund and Templeton Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund, to approve an amended fundamental investment restriction regarding lending.

What is the fundamental investment restriction regarding lending?

The 1940 Act requires every investment company to adopt a fundamental policy regarding lending. Each of the Small-Mid Cap Fund, Templeton Global Balanced Fund and Templeton Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund is currently subject to an investment restriction that prohibits the Fund from making loans, except for certain activities that are specifically excluded from the restriction.
 
For Internal Distribution Only
FT.4

What will be the effect of the amendment to my fund’s current fundamental investment restriction?

The purpose of the amendment is to update the fundamental lending investment restriction to place an overall limit on such lending and to provide that the Fund may not make loans if, as a result, more than 33⅓% of its total assets would be lent to other persons (including other investment companies as permitted by the 1940 Act and any exemptions therefrom). Under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission staff interpretations, lending by an investment company, under certain circumstances, may also give rise to issues relating to the issuance of senior securities. To the extent a Fund enters into lending transactions under these limited circumstances, such Fund will continue to be subject to the limitations imposed under the 1940 Act regarding the issuance of senior securities and the Fund’s fundamental investment restriction regarding issuing senior securities. In addition, such Fund will disclose to shareholders any additional risks associated with such transactions.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 4

PROPOSAL 5: For Franklin Small-Mid Cap Growth Fund, to approve amendments to certain fundamental investment restrictions of such Fund (includes six (6) Sub-Proposals):

5a.
To amend the fundamental investment restriction regarding borrowing;
5b.
To amend the fundamental investment restriction regarding underwriting;
5c.
To amend the fundamental investment restriction regarding investments in real estate;
5d.
To amend the fundamental investment restriction regarding issuing senior securities;
5e.
To amend the fundamental investment restriction regarding industry concentration;
5f.
To amend the fundamental investment restriction regarding diversification of investments.

What are these fundamental investment restrictions?

The Small-Mid Cap Fund is subject to certain investment restrictions (for example, relating to borrowing or investing in real estate) that are considered “fundamental” because the restrictions may only be changed with shareholder approval. There generally are eight fundamental investment restrictions that each Fund is required to have under the 1940 Act.

What will be the effect of the amendments to the Small-Mid Cap Fund’s current fundamental investment restrictions?

The purpose of the amendments is to update those restrictions that are more restrictive than is currently required and to standardize, to the extent practicable, all required fundamental investment restrictions across the Franklin Templeton funds. To the extent that the Small-Mid Cap Fund uses this flexibility in the future, the Fund may be subject to some additional costs and risks. However, the Fund does not currently anticipate materially changing its investment strategies if the proposed amendments to its fundamental investment restrictions are approved.

PROPOSAL 6: For Franklin Small-Mid Cap Growth Fund, to approve the elimination of certain fundamental investment restrictions (includes eight (8) Sub-Proposals):

6a.
To eliminate the fundamental investment restriction regarding engaging in short sales and use of margin
6b.
To eliminate the fundamental investment restriction regarding investments in oil, gas and other mineral programs
6c.
To eliminate the fundamental investment restriction regarding use of options
6d.
To eliminate the fundamental investment restriction regarding investment in restricted securities
6e.
To eliminate the fundamental investment restriction regarding investment in unseasoned issuers
6f.
To eliminate the fundamental investment restriction regarding investing for purposes of exercising control
6g.
To eliminate the fundamental investment restriction regarding investing in other investment companies
6h.
To eliminate the fundamental investment restriction regarding management ownership of securities and principal transactions with management

What are these fundamental investment restrictions?

The Small-Mid Cap Fund is also subject to fundamental investment restrictions that were once imposed by state securities laws or other regulatory authorities that are now outdated or are no longer effective.

What will be the effect of the elimination of such investment restrictions on the Fund?

If the proposed eliminations are approved, it may be easier for the Small-Mid Cap Fund to adapt to market or industry changes in the future because these restrictions would be eliminated. To the extent that the Fund uses this flexibility in the future, the Fund may be subject to some additional costs and risks. However, the Fund does not currently anticipate materially changing its investment strategies if the proposed eliminations are approved.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” SUB-PROPOSALS 6a-6h

PROPOSALS 7a-7c: If properly presented, for Franklin High Yield Tax-Free Income Fund, Templeton Global Bond Fund and Franklin High Income Fund, a shareholder proposal that such Funds’ Boards institute procedures to prevent holding investments in companies that, in the judgment of each Board, substantially contribute to genocide or crimes against humanity.
 
Why are the Boards recommending a vote against proposals 7a-7c?
 
As discussed more completely in the proxy statement, the Boards believe that Franklin Templeton’s investment approach, which considers these issues on a company-by-company basis, is preferable to that recommended by the shareholder proposals.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “AGAINST” PROPOSALS 7a-7c

PROPOSAL 8a-8d: If properly presented, for Franklin Federal Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Income Fund, Franklin Income Fund, Franklin High Income Fund, and Franklin California Tax-Free Income Fund, a shareholder proposal that such Funds’ Boards institute transparent procedures to prevent holding investments in companies that, in the judgment of management, substantially contribute to genocide or crimes against humanity.

Why are the Boards recommending a vote against proposals 8a-8d?
