Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned hereby tenders to Franklin Lexington Private Markets Fund, a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Fund”), the beneficial interests in the Fund or portion thereof (the “Shares”) held by the undersigned, described and specified below, on the terms and conditions set out in the Offer to Purchase, dated August 15, 2025 (the “Offer”), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in this Letter of Transmittal. THE OFFER AND THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL ARE SUBJECT TO ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT IN THE OFFER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT OF THE FUND TO REJECT ANY AND ALL TENDERS DETERMINED BY IT, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, NOT TO BE IN THE APPROPRIATE FORM.
The undersigned hereby sells to the Fund the Shares tendered pursuant to this Letter of Transmittal. The undersigned warrants that it has full authority to sell the Shares tendered hereby and that the Fund will acquire good title to the Shares, free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales agreements or other obligations relating to this sale, and not subject to any adverse claim, when and to the extent the Shares are repurchased by the Fund. Upon request, the undersigned will execute and deliver any additional documents necessary to complete the sale in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
The undersigned recognizes that under certain circumstances set out in the Offer, the Fund may not be required to repurchase the Shares tendered hereby. The undersigned further understands and agrees that if the undersigned tenders some but not all of its Shares for repurchase, the undersigned will be required to maintain a minimum account balance of $10,000. Such minimum ownership requirement may be waived by the Board, in its sole discretion. If such requirement is not waived by the Board, the Fund may redeem all of the undersigned’s Shares. To the extent the undersigned seeks to tender all of the Shares it owns and the Fund repurchases less than the full amount of Shares that the undersigned requests to have repurchased, the undersigned may maintain a balance of Shares of less than $10,000 following such Share repurchase.
The Fund will provide payment to the undersigned whose Shares have been accepted for repurchase an amount equal to at least 95% of the value of the repurchased Shares, based on the unaudited value of the Fund as of September 30, 2025, subject to an extension of the Offer as described in Section 8 of the Offer. The payment of the repurchase amount for the Shares tendered by the undersigned will be made by wire transfer of the funds to an account designated by the undersigned in this Letter of Transmittal. The Fund may hold back a portion of the amount due to the undersigned, which shall not exceed 5% of the total amount due to the undersigned. If there is such a holdback, the second and final payment for the balance due shall be paid no later than 5 business days after the completion of the annual audit of the Fund’s financial statements for the fiscal year in which the applicable repurchase is effected, with such balance being subject to adjustment as a result of the Fund’s annual audit or as a result of any other corrections to the Fund’s net asset value as of September 30, 2025.
All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter of Transmittal will survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and the obligation of the undersigned hereunder will be binding on the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned. Except as stated in Section 6 of the Offer, this tender is irrevocable.

If the owner(s) does not provide this information, the Fund will use its chosen default method, First-In, First-Out (FIFO). Note that the Funds default method may not be the most tax advantageous method. The owner(s) may want to consult their financial advisor or tax professional before completing this section. Select one option then complete the additional information requested, if applicable: First-In, First-Out (FIFO) First-In, First-Out uses the first lots purchased into the account to determine the cost basis of the Shares and to calculate the gain or loss. Specific Share Identification Specific Share Identification allows the owner(s) to select the Shares from any purchase or reinvested lot that has not previously been sold. Indicate in the table below the number and class of Shares and date of purchase for each lot to be repurchased in this transaction. To the extent all Shares tendered are not accepted by the Fund, the Fund will use the Shares listed in the first row of the table and proceed to the next row(s) as necessary until all Shares accepted by the Fund are accounted.

In addition, if no withholding election is indicated below, IRS regulations require that 10% Federal income tax withholding be taken from your IRA distributions. We encourage you to consult your accountant or tax advisor regarding your IRA distributions. Even if you elect not to have Federal income tax withheld, you are liable for payment of Federal income tax on the taxable portion of your distribution. You may be subject to tax penalties under the estimated tax payment rules if your payments of estimated tax and withholdings are not adequate. Federal Income Tax Withholding is to be withheld at % (If a percentage is not specified, 10% will automatically be withheld). I elect NOT to have Federal Income Tax withheld. page 2 of 4 (continued)
