NOTIFICATION OF SOURCES OF DISTRIBUTIONS
San
Mateo, CA, March 28, 2025.
Franklin
Universal Trust [NYSE: FT]:
The Fund’s
estimated sources of the distribution to be paid on March 31, 2025 and for the
fiscal year 2025 year-to-date are as follows:
Estimated Allocations for March Monthly
Distribution as of February 28, 2025:
Cumulative Estimated Allocations fiscal
year-to-date as of February 28, 2025, for the fiscal year ending August 31,
2025:
Shareholders should not draw any
conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the
current distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s Distribution Policy. FT
estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital
gains; therefore, a portion of the FT distribution to shareholders may be a
return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all
of the money that a shareholder invested in a Fund is paid back to them. A
return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect FT’s investment
performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’. The amounts
and sources of distributions reported herein 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 the Fund’s investment
experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to
changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send a Form 1099-DIV to
shareholders for the calendar year that will describe how to report the Fund’s
distributions for federal income tax purposes.
