| II. | The following replaces the third to last paragraph under the “Fund Details – Management” section of the Fund’s Prospectus: |
| Asset Management has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses (excluding Rule 12b‑1 fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense and certain non‑routine expenses or costs, such as those relating to litigation, indemnification, reorganizations and liquidations) for the Fund so that the ratio of total annual fund operating expenses will not exceed 1.13% (0.98% effective July 13, 2026) for each share class except Class R6 and 1.00% (0.85% effective July 13, 2026) for Class R6. Asset Management has also agreed to reduce its fees to reflect reduced services resulting from the Fund’s investments in Franklin Templeton affiliated funds. In addition, transfer agency fees on Class R6 shares of the Fund have been capped so that transfer agency fees for that class do not exceed 0.03%. These contractual arrangements are expected to continue until July 12, 2027. During the terms, the fee waiver and expense reimbursement agreements may not be terminated or amended without approval of the board of trustees except to add series or classes, to reflect the extension of termination dates or to lower the waiver and expense limitation. |
