The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this 19(a) Notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon a Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Each Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
The table below provides information regarding distributions and total return performance for various periods. Performance includes the deduction of management fees and administrative expenses, assumes reinvestment of distributions, and does not account for taxes.

You should not draw any conclusions about a Fund’s investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s Distribution Policy.
Each fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’.
The Funds periodically provide fund-related information on their websites. The following information will be available for each Fund at www.franklintempleton.com at the frequencies indicated: (1) Full holdings will be available monthly; (2) Top 10 holdings and additional portfolio statistics will be available monthly.
