2026-10-01 Fund summary Franklin Massachusetts Municipal Income ETF Goal <div style="margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax and Massachusetts personal income tax as the Investment Manager (as defined below) believes is consistent with preservation of capital.</div> Fees and expenses <div style="margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The following tables describe the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the fund. <span style="font-weight: bold;">You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.</span></div> Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 0.0035 0 0.0000 0.0001 0.0036 -0.0001 0.0035 Total annual fund operating expenses do not correlate with the ratios of expenses to average net assets reported in the fund’s financial highlights, which reflect the fund’s operating expenses and do not include acquired fund fees and expenses. September 30, 2027 Example <div style="margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The following hypothetical example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds. It assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. It assumes a 5% return on your investment each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same (except that any applicable fee waiver or expense reimbursement is reflected only through its expiration date). Your actual costs may be higher or lower.</div> 36 115 201 454 Portfolio turnover <div style="margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund pays transaction-related costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or the above example, affect fund performance. The fund’s turnover rate in the most recent fiscal year (including that of the Predecessor Fund (as defined below) for the period of June 1, 2025 to November 7, 2025) was 13%.</div> 0.13 Investments, risks, and performance Principal investment strategies <div style="margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund invests mainly in bonds (including general obligation bonds, revenue obligation bonds, and tender option bonds) that pay interest that is exempt from federal income tax and Massachusetts personal income tax (but that may be subject to federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”)), are investment-grade in quality, and have intermediate- to long-term maturities (i.e., three years or longer). Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of the fund’s net assets in tax-exempt investments. Tax-exempt investments are issued by or for states, territories or possessions of the United States or by their political subdivisions, agencies, authorities or other government entities, and the income from these investments is exempt from both federal and Massachusetts personal income tax. If the interest income on an investment meets these standards, the fund will treat the investment as qualifying for purposes of the fund’s 80% investment policy even if the issuer is located outside of the State of Massachusetts. This investment policy cannot be changed without the approval of the fund’s shareholders. Interest income from private activity bonds may be subject to federal AMT for individuals. As a policy that cannot be changed without the approval of fund shareholders, the fund cannot include these investments for the purpose of complying with the 80% investment policy described above.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in below-investment-grade investments, which are sometimes referred to as “junk bonds.” However, the fund will not invest in investments that are rated lower than BB or its equivalent by each organization rating the investment, or are unrated securities that the Investment Manager believes are of comparable quality. The fund will not necessarily sell an investment if its rating is reduced after purchase.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The Investment Manager may consider, among other factors, credit, interest rate and prepayment risks, as well as general market conditions, when deciding whether to buy or sell investments.</div> <div style="margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund invests mainly in bonds (including general obligation bonds, revenue obligation bonds, and tender option bonds) that pay interest that is exempt from federal income tax and Massachusetts personal income tax (but that may be subject to federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”)), are investment-grade in quality, and have intermediate- to long-term maturities (i.e., three years or longer).

Fixed income investments are also subject to credit risk, which is the risk that issuers of the fund’s investments may default on payment of interest or principal. Fixed income investments may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during economic downturns or other periods of economic stress. Interest rate risk is generally greater for longer-term fixed income securities, and credit risk is generally greater for below-investment-grade fixed income securities, which can be more sensitive to changes in markets, credit conditions, and interest rates, and may be considered speculative. <span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tax-exempt investments risk:</span> Since the fund invests in tax-exempt bonds, which, to be treated as tax-exempt under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, may be issued only by limited types of issuers for limited types of projects, the fund’s investments may be focused in certain market segments. Consequently, the fund may be more vulnerable to fluctuations in the values of the securities it holds than a fund that invests more broadly. The fund’s performance will be closely tied to the economic and political conditions in Massachusetts and can be more volatile than the performance of a more geographically diversified fund. To the extent the fund invests in securities of issuers located outside of Massachusetts, the fund may also be exposed to the risks affecting other states. Interest the fund receives might be taxable.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Prepayment risk:</span> If an issuer calls or redeems an investment during a time of declining interest rates, the fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in an investment offering a lower yield. <span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fluctuation of net asset value and share price risk:</span> Shares may trade at a larger premium or discount to the fund’s net asset value than shares of other ETFs. The net asset value of the fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the fund’s holdings. The fund’s shares can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for the fund’s shares may result in the fund’s shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) net asset value or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. In addition, in stressed market conditions or periods of market disruption or volatility, the market for fund shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the fund’s underlying portfolio holdings.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Trading issues risk:</span> The fund has limited trading history. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be maintained or that the market for fund shares will operate as intended, which could lead to the fund’s shares trading at wider spreads and larger premiums and discounts to net asset value than other actively managed ETFs. As a result, it may cost investors more to trade fund shares than shares of other ETFs. There is no guarantee that the fund will be able to attract market makers and authorized participants. Market makers and authorized participants are not obligated to <span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div><div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">make a market in the fund’s shares or to submit purchase and redemption orders for creation units.</div><div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The market prices of the fund’s shares are expected to fluctuate, in some cases materially, in response to changes in the fund’s net asset value, the intraday value of the fund’s holdings and supply and demand for the fund’s shares. The Investment Manager cannot predict whether the fund’s shares will trade above, below or at their net asset value or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. During periods when the fund is trading below its net asset value, investors may incur significant losses if they sell shares.</div><div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The securities held by the fund may be traded in markets that close at a different time than the exchange on which the fund’s shares are listed. Liquidity in those securities may be reduced after the applicable closing times. Accordingly, during the time when the exchange is open but after the applicable market closing, fixing or settlement times, bid-ask spreads on the exchange and the corresponding premium or discount to the shares’ net asset value may widen.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Large shareholder transaction risk: </span>The fund is subject to the risk that shareholders will purchase or redeem large quantities of shares of the fund. The fund may be an investment option for mutual funds that are managed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates as “funds of funds.” Additionally, other investors from time to time may make substantial investments in the fund. Such shareholders may at times be considered to control the fund. In addition, a large number of shareholders may collectively purchase or redeem fund shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly. Large shareholder transactions may adversely affect the fund’s liquidity and net assets. These redemptions may also adversely affect the fund’s performance if the fund is forced to sell securities, which may also increase the fund’s brokerage costs.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Authorized participant concentration risk:</span> Only an authorized participant may engage in creation and redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund may have a limited number of financial institutions that act as authorized participants, none of which are obligated to engage in creation and/or redemption transactions. To the extent that those authorized participants do not engage in creation and redemption orders, there may be a significantly diminished trading market for fund shares or fund shares may trade at a discount (or premium) to net asset value and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cash transactions risk:</span> Unlike certain ETFs, the fund may effect creations and redemptions in cash or partially in cash. Therefore, it may be required to sell portfolio securities and subsequently recognize gains on such sales that the fund might not have recognized if it were to distribute portfolio securities in-kind. As such, investments in the fund’s shares may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that distributes portfolio securities entirely in-kind.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Market risk: </span>The value of investments in the fund’s portfolio may fall or fail to rise over extended periods of time for a variety of reasons, including general economic, political or financial market conditions, investor sentiment and <span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div><div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">market perceptions, government actions, geopolitical events or changes, outbreaks of infectious illnesses or other widespread public health issues, and factors related to a specific issuer, asset class, geography, industry or sector. These and other factors may lead to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in the fund’s portfolio holdings, may negatively impact the fund’s performance, and may exacerbate other risks to which the fund is subject.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Management and operational risk: </span>There is no guarantee that the investment techniques, analyses, or judgments that the Investment Manager applies in making investment decisions for the fund will produce the intended outcome or that the investments selected for the fund will perform as well as other securities that were not selected for the fund. The Investment Manager, or the fund’s other service providers, may experience disruptions or operating errors that could negatively impact the fund.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div><div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund may not achieve its goal, and it is not intended to be a complete investment program. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</div> An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cybersecurity risk:</span> Cybersecurity incidents, both intentional and unintentional, may allow an unauthorized party to gain access to fund assets, fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, cause the fund, the Investment Manager, authorized participants and listing exchanges and/or their service providers (including, but not limited to, fund accountants, custodians, sub-custodians, transfer agents and financial intermediaries) to suffer data breaches, data corruption or loss of operational functionality or prevent fund investors from purchasing or redeeming shares or receiving distributions. The fund and the Investment Manager have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cybersecurity incidents affecting third party service providers, and such third party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the fund and/or the Investment Manager. Cybersecurity incidents may result in financial losses to the fund and its shareholders, and substantial costs may be incurred in an effort to prevent or mitigate future cybersecurity incidents. Issuers of securities in which the fund invests are also subject to cybersecurity risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cybersecurity incidents.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div><div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">Because technology continues to evolve rapidly, including through developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning, new methods of carrying out cyber-attacks continue to emerge. As a result, certain cybersecurity risks may not yet be identified and some cyber-attacks may not be detected promptly, which may limit the fund’s ability to anticipate, prepare for or respond effectively to a cybersecurity incident. Like other funds and business enterprises, the fund, the Investment Manager and their service providers are subject to the risk of cybersecurity incidents from time to time. The rapid development and increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence technologies may increase the sophistication and effectiveness of cyber attacks, which may exacerbate these risks.</div> Performance <div style="margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Putnam Massachusetts Tax Exempt Income Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) in a reorganization that was effective after the market close on November 7, 2025 (the “Reorganization”). As a result of the Reorganization, the fund adopted the performance and financial history of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 shares. Prior to the Reorganization, the fund had not yet commenced operations.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The accompanying bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The returns shown for the periods ended on or prior to November 7, 2025 are those of the Predecessor Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the fund’s (and the Predecessor Fund’s) performance from year to year. The table shows the average annual total returns of the fund (and the Predecessor Fund) and also compares such performance with the average annual total returns of a broad measure of market performance. The Predecessor Fund’s performance is represented by the performance of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 shares. The fund has the same investment goal and substantially similar strategies as the Predecessor Fund. However, the fund has a lower net expense ratio than Class R6 shares of the Predecessor Fund, and the performance of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 shares shown below has not been adjusted to reflect the lower net expense ratio attributable to the fund. As a result, the performance returns of the fund for the periods ended on or prior to November 7, 2025 would have been different than those of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 shares. Had the Predecessor Fund been structured as an ETF, its performance may have differed.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund makes updated performance information, including its current net asset value per share, available at www.franklintempleton.com.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;">The fund’s (and Predecessor Fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the fund will perform in the future. </span></div> Prior to the Reorganization, the fund had not yet commenced operations.

Fund summary Franklin Minnesota Municipal Income ETF Goal <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax and Minnesota personal income tax as the Investment Manager (as defined below) believes is consistent with preservation of capital.</div> Fees and expenses <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The following tables describe the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the fund. <span style="font-weight: bold;">You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.</span></div> Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 0.0035 0 0.0000 0.0001 0.0036 -0.0001 0.0035 Total annual fund operating expenses do not correlate with the ratios of expenses to average net assets reported in the fund’s financial highlights, which reflect the fund’s operating expenses and do not include acquired fund fees and expenses. September 30, 2027 Example <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The following hypothetical example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds. It assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. It assumes a 5% return on your investment each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same (except that any applicable fee waiver or expense reimbursement is reflected only through its expiration date). Your actual costs may be higher or lower.</div> 36 115 201 454 Portfolio turnover <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund pays transaction-related costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or the above example, affect fund performance. The fund’s turnover rate in the most recent fiscal year (including that of the Predecessor Fund (as defined below) for the period of June 1, 2025 to November 7, 2025) was 15%.</div> 0.15 Investments, risks, and performance Principal investment strategies <div style="margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund invests mainly in bonds (including general obligation bonds, revenue obligation bonds, and tender option bonds) that pay interest that is exempt from federal income tax and Minnesota personal income tax (but that may be subject to federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”)), are investment-grade in quality, and have intermediate- to long-term maturities (i.e., three years or longer). Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of the fund’s net assets in tax-exempt investments. Tax-exempt investments are issued by or for states, territories or possessions of the United States or by their political subdivisions, agencies, authorities or other government entities, and the income from these investments is exempt from both federal and Minnesota personal income tax. If the interest income on an investment meets these standards, the fund will treat the investment as qualifying for purposes of the fund’s 80% investment policy even if the issuer is located outside of the State of Minnesota. This investment policy cannot be changed without the approval of the fund’s shareholders. Interest income from private activity bonds may be subject to federal AMT for individuals. As a policy that cannot be changed without the approval of fund shareholders, the fund cannot include these investments for the purpose of complying with the 80% investment policy described above.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in below-investment-grade investments, which are sometimes referred to as “junk bonds.” However, the fund will not invest in investments that are rated lower than BB or its equivalent by each organization rating the investment, or are unrated securities that the Investment Manager believes are of comparable quality. The fund will not necessarily sell an investment if its rating is reduced after purchase.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The Investment Manager may consider, among other factors, credit, interest rate and prepayment risks, as well as general market conditions, when deciding whether to buy or sell investments.</div> <div style="margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund invests mainly in bonds (including general obligation bonds, revenue obligation bonds, and tender option bonds) that pay interest that is exempt from federal income tax and Minnesota personal income tax (but that may be subject to federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”)), are investment-grade in quality, and have intermediate- to long-term maturities (i.e., three years or longer). Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of the fund’s net assets in tax-exempt investments. Tax-exempt investments are issued by or for states, territories or possessions of the United States or by their political subdivisions, agencies, authorities or other government entities, and the income from these investments is exempt from both federal and Minnesota personal income tax.

Fixed income investments are also subject to credit risk, which is the risk that issuers of the fund’s investments may default on payment of interest or principal. Fixed income investments may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during economic downturns or other periods of economic stress. Interest rate risk is generally greater for longer-term fixed income securities, and credit risk is generally greater for below-investment-grade fixed income securities, which can be more sensitive to changes in markets, credit conditions, and interest rates, and may be considered speculative.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tax-exempt investments risk:</span> Since the fund invests in tax-exempt bonds, which, to be treated as tax-exempt under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, may be issued only by limited types of issuers for limited types of projects, the fund’s investments may be focused in certain market segments. Consequently, the fund may be more vulnerable to fluctuations in the values of the securities it holds than a fund that invests more broadly. The fund’s performance will be closely tied to the economic and political conditions in Minnesota and can be more volatile than the performance of a more geographically diversified fund. To the extent the fund invests in securities of issuers located outside of Minnesota, the fund may also be exposed to the risks affecting other states. Interest the fund receives might be taxable.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Prepayment risk:</span> If an issuer calls or redeems an investment during a time of declining interest rates, the fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in an investment offering a lower yield.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fluctuation of net asset value and share price risk:</span> Shares may trade at a larger premium or discount to the fund’s net asset value than shares of other ETFs. The net asset value of the fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the fund’s holdings. The fund’s shares can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for the fund’s shares may result in the fund’s shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) net asset value or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. In addition, in stressed market conditions or periods of market disruption or volatility, the market for fund shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the fund’s underlying portfolio holdings.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Trading issues risk:</span> The fund has limited trading history. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be maintained or that the market for fund shares will operate as intended, which could lead to the fund’s shares trading at wider spreads and larger premiums and discounts to net asset value than other actively managed ETFs. As a result, it may cost investors more to trade fund shares than shares of other ETFs. There is no guarantee that the fund will be able to attract market makers and authorized participants. Market makers and authorized participants are not obligated to</div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">make a market in the fund’s shares or to submit purchase and redemption orders for creation units.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The market prices of the fund’s shares are expected to fluctuate, in some cases materially, in response to changes in the fund’s net asset value, the intraday value of the fund’s holdings and supply and demand for the fund’s shares. The Investment Manager cannot predict whether the fund’s shares will trade above, below or at their net asset value or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. During periods when the fund is trading below its net asset value, investors may incur significant losses if they sell shares.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The securities held by the fund may be traded in markets that close at a different time than the exchange on which the fund’s shares are listed. Liquidity in those securities may be reduced after the applicable closing times. Accordingly, during the time when the exchange is open but after the applicable market closing, fixing or settlement times, bid-ask spreads on the exchange and the corresponding premium or discount to the shares’ net asset value may widen.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Large shareholder transaction risk:</span> The fund is subject to the risk that shareholders will purchase or redeem large quantities of shares of the fund. The fund may be an investment option for mutual funds that are managed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates as “funds of funds.” Additionally, other investors from time to time may make substantial investments in the fund. Such shareholders may at times be considered to control the fund. In addition, a large number of shareholders may collectively purchase or redeem fund shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly. Large shareholder transactions may adversely affect the fund’s liquidity and net assets. These redemptions may also adversely affect the fund’s performance if the fund is forced to sell securities, which may also increase the fund’s brokerage costs.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Authorized participant concentration risk:</span> Only an authorized participant may engage in creation and redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund may have a limited number of financial institutions that act as authorized participants, none of which are obligated to engage in creation and/or redemption transactions. To the extent that those authorized participants do not engage in creation and redemption orders, there may be a significantly diminished trading market for fund shares or fund shares may trade at a discount (or premium) to net asset value and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cash transactions risk:</span> Unlike certain ETFs, the fund may effect creations and redemptions in cash or partially in cash. Therefore, it may be required to sell portfolio securities and subsequently recognize gains on such sales that the fund might not have recognized if it were to distribute portfolio securities in-kind. As such, investments in the fund’s shares may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that distributes portfolio securities entirely in-kind.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Market risk:</span> The value of investments in the fund’s portfolio may fall or fail to rise over extended periods of time for a variety of reasons, including general economic, political or financial market conditions, investor sentiment and</div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">market perceptions, government actions, geopolitical events or changes, outbreaks of infectious illnesses or other widespread public health issues, and factors related to a specific issuer, asset class, geography, industry or sector. These and other factors may lead to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in the fund’s portfolio holdings, may negatively impact the fund’s performance, and may exacerbate other risks to which the fund is subject.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Management and operational risk:</span> There is no guarantee that the investment techniques, analyses, or judgments that the Investment Manager applies in making investment decisions for the fund will produce the intended outcome or that the investments selected for the fund will perform as well as other securities that were not selected for the fund. The Investment Manager, or the fund’s other service providers, may experience disruptions or operating errors that could negatively impact the fund.</div><div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund may not achieve its goal, and it is not intended to be a complete investment program. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</div> An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cybersecurity risk:</span> Cybersecurity incidents, both intentional and unintentional, may allow an unauthorized party to gain access to fund assets, fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, cause the fund, the Investment Manager, authorized participants and listing exchanges and/or their service providers (including, but not limited to, fund accountants, custodians, sub-custodians, transfer agents and financial intermediaries) to suffer data breaches, data corruption or loss of operational functionality or prevent fund investors from purchasing or redeeming shares or receiving distributions. The fund and the Investment Manager have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cybersecurity incidents affecting third party service providers, and such third party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the fund and/or the Investment Manager. Cybersecurity incidents may result in financial losses to the fund and its shareholders, and substantial costs may be incurred in an effort to prevent or mitigate future cybersecurity incidents. Issuers of securities in which the fund invests are also subject to cybersecurity risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cybersecurity incidents.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">Because technology continues to evolve rapidly, including through developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning, new methods of carrying out cyber-attacks continue to emerge. As a result, certain cybersecurity risks may not yet be identified and some cyber-attacks may not be detected promptly, which may limit the fund’s ability to anticipate, prepare for or respond effectively to a cybersecurity incident. Like other funds and business enterprises, the fund, the Investment Manager and their service providers are subject to the risk of cybersecurity incidents from time to time. The rapid development and increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence technologies may increase the sophistication and effectiveness of cyber attacks, which may exacerbate these risks.</div> Performance <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Putnam Minnesota Tax Exempt Income Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) in a reorganization that was effective after the market close on November 7, 2025 (the “Reorganization”). As a result of the Reorganization, the fund adopted the performance and financial history of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 shares. Prior to the Reorganization, the fund had not yet commenced operations.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The accompanying bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The returns shown for the periods ended on or prior to November 7, 2025 are those of the Predecessor Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the fund’s (and the Predecessor Fund’s) performance from year to year. The table shows the average annual total returns of the fund (and the Predecessor Fund) and also compares such performance with the average annual total returns of a broad measure of market performance. The Predecessor Fund’s performance is represented by the performance of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 shares. The fund has the same investment goal and substantially similar strategies as the Predecessor Fund. However, the fund has a lower net expense ratio than Class R6 shares of the Predecessor Fund, and the performance of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 shares shown below has not been adjusted to reflect the lower net expense ratio attributable to the fund. As a result, the performance returns of the fund for the periods ended on or prior to November 7, 2025 would have been different than those of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 shares. Had the Predecessor Fund been structured as an ETF, its performance may have differed.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund makes updated performance information, including its current net asset value per share, available at www.franklintempleton.com.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;">The fund’s (and Predecessor Fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the fund will perform in the future. </span></div> Prior to the Reorganization, the fund had not yet commenced operations.

Fund summary Franklin New Jersey Municipal Income ETF Goal <div style="margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax and New Jersey personal income tax as the Investment Manager (as defined below) believes is consistent with preservation of capital.</div> Fees and expenses <div style="margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The following tables describe the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the fund. <span style="font-weight: bold;">You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below</span>.</div> Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 0.0035 0 0.0000 0.0001 0.0036 -0.0001 0.0035 Total annual fund operating expenses do not correlate with the ratios of expenses to average net assets reported in the fund’s financial highlights, which reflect the fund’s operating expenses and do not include acquired fund fees and expenses. September 30, 2027 Example <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The following hypothetical example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds. It assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. It assumes a 5% return on your investment each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same (except that any applicable fee waiver or expense reimbursement is reflected only through its expiration date). Your actual costs may be higher or lower.</div> 36 115 201 454 Portfolio turnover <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund pays transaction-related costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or the above example, affect fund performance. The fund’s turnover rate in the most recent fiscal year (including that of the Predecessor Fund (as defined below) for the period of June 1, 2025 to November 7, 2025) was 16%.</div> 0.16 Investments, risks, and performance Principal investment strategies <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund invests mainly in bonds (including general obligation bonds, revenue obligation bonds, and tender option bonds) that pay interest that is exempt from federal income tax and New Jersey personal income tax (but that may be subject to federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”)), are investment-grade in quality, and have intermediate- to long-term maturities (i.e., three years or longer). Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of the fund’s net assets in tax-exempt investments. Tax-exempt investments are issued by or for states, territories or possessions of the United States or by their political subdivisions, agencies, authorities or other government entities, and the income from these investments is exempt from both federal and New Jersey personal income tax. If the interest income on an investment meets these standards, the fund will treat the investment as qualifying for purposes of the fund’s 80% investment policy even if the issuer is located outside of the State of New Jersey. This investment policy cannot be changed without the approval of the fund’s shareholders. Interest income from private activity bonds may be subject to federal AMT for individuals. As a policy that cannot be changed without the approval of fund shareholders, the fund cannot include these investments for the purpose of complying with the 80% investment policy described above.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in below-investment-grade investments, which are sometimes referred to as “junk bonds.” However, the fund will not invest in investments that are rated lower than BB or its equivalent by each organization rating the investment, or are unrated securities that the Investment Manager believes are of comparable quality. The fund will not necessarily sell an investment if its rating is reduced after purchase.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The Investment Manager may consider, among other factors, credit, interest rate and prepayment risks, as well as general market conditions, when deciding whether to buy or sell investments.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund invests mainly in bonds (including general obligation bonds, revenue obligation bonds, and tender option bonds) that pay interest that is exempt from federal income tax and New Jersey personal income tax (but that may be subject to federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”)), are investment-grade in quality, and have intermediate- to long-term maturities (i.e., three years or longer). Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of the fund’s net assets in tax-exempt investments. Tax-exempt investments are issued by or for states, territories or possessions of the United States or by their political subdivisions, agencies, authorities or other government entities, and the income from these investments is exempt from both federal and New Jersey personal income tax.

Fixed income investments are also subject to credit risk, which is the risk that issuers of the fund’s investments may default on payment of interest or principal. Fixed income investments may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during economic downturns or other periods of economic stress. Interest rate risk is generally greater for longer-term fixed income securities, and credit risk is generally greater for below-investment-grade fixed income securities, which can be more sensitive to changes in markets, credit conditions, and interest rates, and may be considered speculative.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tax-exempt investments risk:</span> Since the fund invests in tax-exempt bonds, which, to be treated as tax-exempt under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, may be issued only by limited types of issuers for limited types of projects, the fund’s investments may be focused in certain market segments. Consequently, the fund may be more vulnerable to fluctuations in the values of the securities it holds than a fund that invests more broadly. The fund’s performance will be closely tied to the economic and political conditions in New Jersey and can be more volatile than the performance of a more geographically diversified fund. To the extent the fund invests in securities of issuers located outside of New Jersey, the fund may also be exposed to the risks affecting other states. Interest the fund receives might be taxable.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Prepayment risk:</span> If an issuer calls or redeems an investment during a time of declining interest rates, the fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in an investment offering a lower yield.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fluctuation of net asset value and share price risk:</span> Shares may trade at a larger premium or discount to the fund’s net asset value than shares of other ETFs. The net asset value of the fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the fund’s holdings. The fund’s shares can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for the fund’s shares may result in the fund’s shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) net asset value or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. In addition, in stressed market conditions or periods of market disruption or volatility, the market for fund shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the fund’s underlying portfolio holdings.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Trading issues risk:</span> The fund has limited trading history. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be maintained or that the market for fund shares will operate as intended, which could lead to the fund’s shares trading at wider spreads and larger premiums and discounts to net asset value than other actively managed ETFs. As a result, it may cost investors more to trade fund shares than shares of other ETFs. There is no guarantee that the fund will be able to attract market makers and authorized participants. Market makers and authorized participants are not obligated to</div><div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">make a market in the fund’s shares or to submit purchase and redemption orders for creation units.</div><div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The market prices of the fund’s shares are expected to fluctuate, in some cases materially, in response to changes in the fund’s net asset value, the intraday value of the fund’s holdings and supply and demand for the fund’s shares. The Investment Manager cannot predict whether the fund’s shares will trade above, below or at their net asset value or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. During periods when the fund is trading below its net asset value, investors may incur significant losses if they sell shares.</div><div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The securities held by the fund may be traded in markets that close at a different time than the exchange on which the fund’s shares are listed. Liquidity in those securities may be reduced after the applicable closing times. Accordingly, during the time when the exchange is open but after the applicable market closing, fixing or settlement times, bid-ask spreads on the exchange and the corresponding premium or discount to the shares’ net asset value may widen.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Large shareholder transaction risk:</span> The fund is subject to the risk that shareholders will purchase or redeem large quantities of shares of the fund. The fund may be an investment option for mutual funds that are managed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates as “funds of funds.” Additionally, other investors from time to time may make substantial investments in the fund. Such shareholders may at times be considered to control the fund. In addition, a large number of shareholders may collectively purchase or redeem fund shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly. Large shareholder transactions may adversely affect the fund’s liquidity and net assets. These redemptions may also adversely affect the fund’s performance if the fund is forced to sell securities, which may also increase the fund’s brokerage costs.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Authorized participant concentration risk:</span> Only an authorized participant may engage in creation and redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund may have a limited number of financial institutions that act as authorized participants, none of which are obligated to engage in creation and/or redemption transactions. To the extent that those authorized participants do not engage in creation and redemption orders, there may be a significantly diminished trading market for fund shares or fund shares may trade at a discount (or premium) to net asset value and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cash transactions risk:</span> Unlike certain ETFs, the fund may effect creations and redemptions in cash or partially in cash. Therefore, it may be required to sell portfolio securities and subsequently recognize gains on such sales that the fund might not have recognized if it were to distribute portfolio securities in-kind. As such, investments in the fund’s shares may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that distributes portfolio securities entirely in-kind.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Market risk:</span> The value of investments in the fund’s portfolio may fall or fail to rise over extended periods of time for a variety of reasons, including general economic, political or financial market conditions, investor sentiment and</div><div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">market perceptions, government actions, geopolitical events or changes, outbreaks of infectious illnesses or other widespread public health issues, and factors related to a specific issuer, asset class, geography, industry or sector. These and other factors may lead to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in the fund’s portfolio holdings, may negatively impact the fund’s performance, and may exacerbate other risks to which the fund is subject.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Management and operational risk:</span> There is no guarantee that the investment techniques, analyses, or judgments that the Investment Manager applies in making investment decisions for the fund will produce the intended outcome or that the investments selected for the fund will perform as well as other securities that were not selected for the fund. The Investment Manager, or the fund’s other service providers, may experience disruptions or operating errors that could negatively impact the fund.</div><div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund may not achieve its goal, and it is not intended to be a complete investment program. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</div> An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cybersecurity risk:</span> Cybersecurity incidents, both intentional and unintentional, may allow an unauthorized party to gain access to fund assets, fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, cause the fund, the Investment Manager, authorized participants and listing exchanges and/or their service providers (including, but not limited to, fund accountants, custodians, sub-custodians, transfer agents and financial intermediaries) to suffer data breaches, data corruption or loss of operational functionality or prevent fund investors from purchasing or redeeming shares or receiving distributions. The fund and the Investment Manager have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cybersecurity incidents affecting third party service providers, and such third party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the fund and/or the Investment Manager. Cybersecurity incidents may result in financial losses to the fund and its shareholders, and substantial costs may be incurred in an effort to prevent or mitigate future cybersecurity incidents. Issuers of securities in which the fund invests are also subject to cybersecurity risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cybersecurity incidents.</div><div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">Because technology continues to evolve rapidly, including through developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning, new methods of carrying out cyber-attacks continue to emerge. As a result, certain cybersecurity risks may not yet be identified and some cyber-attacks may not be detected promptly, which may limit the fund’s ability to anticipate, prepare for or respond effectively to a cybersecurity incident. Like other funds and business enterprises, the fund, the Investment Manager and their service providers are subject to the risk of cybersecurity incidents from time to time. The rapid development and increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence technologies may increase the sophistication and effectiveness of cyber attacks, which may exacerbate these risks.</div> Performance <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Putnam New Jersey Tax Exempt Income Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) in a reorganization that was effective after the market close on November 7, 2025 (the “Reorganization”). As a result of the Reorganization, the fund adopted the performance and financial history of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 shares. Prior to the Reorganization, the fund had not yet commenced operations.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The accompanying bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The returns shown for the periods ended on or prior to November 7, 2025 are those of the Predecessor Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the fund’s (and the Predecessor Fund’s) performance from year to year. The table shows the average annual total returns of the fund (and the Predecessor Fund) and also compares such performance with the average annual total returns of a broad measure of market performance. The Predecessor Fund’s performance is represented by the performance of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 shares. The fund has the same investment goal and substantially similar strategies as the Predecessor Fund. However, the fund has a lower net expense ratio than Class R6 shares of the Predecessor Fund, and the performance of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 shares shown below has not been adjusted to reflect the lower net expense ratio attributable to the fund. As a result, the performance returns of the fund for the periods ended on or prior to November 7, 2025 would have been different than those of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 shares. Had the Predecessor Fund been structured as an ETF, its performance may have differed.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund makes updated performance information, including its current net asset value per share, available at www.franklintempleton.com.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;">The fund’s (and Predecessor Fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the fund will perform in the future. </span></div> Prior to the Reorganization, the fund had not yet commenced operations.

Consequently, the fund may be more vulnerable to fluctuations in the values of the securities it holds than a fund that invests more broadly. The fund’s performance will be closely tied to the economic and political conditions in Ohio and can be more volatile than the performance of a more geographically diversified fund. To the extent the fund invests in securities of issuers located outside of Ohio, the fund may also be exposed to the risks affecting other states.

The net asset value of the fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the fund’s holdings. The fund’s shares can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for the fund’s shares may result in the fund’s shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) net asset value or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. In addition, in stressed market conditions or periods of market disruption or volatility, the market for fund shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the fund’s underlying portfolio holdings.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Trading issues risk:</span> The fund has limited trading history. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be maintained or that the market for fund shares will operate as intended, which could lead to the fund’s shares trading at wider spreads and larger premiums and discounts to net asset value than other actively managed ETFs. As a result, it may cost investors more to trade fund shares than shares of other ETFs. There is no guarantee that the fund will be able to attract market makers and authorized participants. Market makers and authorized participants are not obligated to make a market in the fund’s shares or to submit purchase and redemption orders for creation units. <span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The market prices of the fund’s shares are expected to fluctuate, in some cases materially, in response to changes in the fund’s net asset value, the intraday value of the fund’s holdings and supply and demand for the fund’s shares. The Investment Manager cannot predict whether the fund’s shares will trade above, below or at their net asset value or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings.

Liquidity in those securities may be reduced after the applicable closing times. Accordingly, during the time when the exchange is open but after the applicable market closing, fixing or settlement times, bid-ask spreads on the exchange and the corresponding premium or discount to the shares’ net asset value may widen.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Large shareholder transaction risk: </span>The fund is subject to the risk that shareholders will purchase or redeem large quantities of shares of the fund. The fund may be an investment option for mutual funds that are managed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates as “funds of funds.” Additionally, other investors from time to time may make substantial investments in the fund. Such shareholders may at times be considered to control the fund. In addition, a large number of shareholders may collectively purchase or redeem fund shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly. Large shareholder transactions may adversely affect the fund’s liquidity and net assets. These redemptions may also adversely affect the fund’s performance if the fund is forced to sell securities, which may also increase the fund’s brokerage costs.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Authorized participant concentration risk:</span> Only an authorized participant may engage in creation and redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund may have a limited number of financial institutions that act as authorized participants, none of which are obligated to engage in creation and/or redemption transactions. To the extent that those authorized participants do not engage in creation and redemption orders, there may be a significantly diminished trading market for fund shares or fund shares may trade at a discount (or premium) to net asset value and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cash transactions risk:</span> Unlike certain ETFs, the fund may effect creations and redemptions in cash or partially in cash. Therefore, it may be required to sell portfolio securities and subsequently recognize gains on such sales that the fund might not have recognized if it were to distribute portfolio securities in-kind. As such, investments in the fund’s shares may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that distributes portfolio securities entirely in-kind.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Market risk: </span>The value of investments in the fund’s portfolio may fall or fail to rise over extended periods of time for a variety of reasons, including general economic, political or financial market conditions, investor sentiment and market perceptions, government actions, geopolitical events or changes, outbreaks of infectious illnesses or other widespread public health issues, and <span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">factors related to a specific issuer, asset class, geography, industry or sector.

The fund and the Investment Manager have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cybersecurity incidents affecting third party service providers, and such third party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the fund and/or the Investment Manager. Cybersecurity incidents may result in financial losses to the fund and its shareholders, and substantial costs may be incurred in an effort to prevent or mitigate future cybersecurity incidents. Issuers of securities in which the fund invests are also subject to cybersecurity risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cybersecurity incidents.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">Because technology continues to evolve rapidly, including through developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning, new methods of carrying out cyber-attacks continue to emerge. As a result, certain cybersecurity risks may not yet be identified and some cyber-attacks may not be detected promptly, which may limit the fund’s ability to anticipate, prepare for or respond effectively to a cybersecurity incident. Like other funds and business enterprises, the fund, the Investment Manager and their service providers are subject to the risk of cybersecurity incidents from time to time. The rapid development and increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence technologies may increase the sophistication and effectiveness of cyber attacks, which may exacerbate these risks.</div> Performance <div style="margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Putnam Ohio Tax Exempt Income Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) in a reorganization that was effective after the market close on November 7, 2025 (the “Reorganization”).

In addition, in stressed market conditions or periods of market disruption or volatility, the market for fund shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the fund’s underlying portfolio holdings.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Trading issues risk:</span> The fund has limited trading history. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be maintained or that the market for fund shares will operate as intended, which could lead to the fund’s shares trading at wider spreads and larger premiums and discounts to net asset value than other actively managed ETFs. As a result, it may cost investors more to trade fund shares than shares of other ETFs. There is no guarantee that the fund will be able to attract market makers and authorized participants. Market makers and authorized participants are not obligated to</div><div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">make a market in the fund’s shares or to submit purchase and redemption orders for creation units.</div><div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The market prices of the fund’s shares are expected to fluctuate, in some cases materially, in response to changes in the fund’s net asset value, the intraday value of the fund’s holdings and supply and demand for the fund’s shares. The Investment Manager cannot predict whether the fund’s shares will trade above, below or at their net asset value or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. During periods when the fund is trading below its net asset value, investors may incur significant losses if they sell shares.</div><div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The securities held by the fund may be traded in markets that close at a different time than the exchange on which the fund’s shares are listed. Liquidity in those securities may be reduced after the applicable closing times. Accordingly, during the time when the exchange is open but after the applicable market closing, fixing or settlement times, bid-ask spreads on the exchange and the corresponding premium or discount to the shares’ net asset value may widen.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Large shareholder transaction risk:</span> The fund is subject to the risk that shareholders will purchase or redeem large quantities of shares of the fund. The fund may be an investment option for mutual funds that are managed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates as “funds of funds.” Additionally, other investors from time to time may make substantial investments in the fund. Such shareholders may at times be considered to control the fund. In addition, a large number of shareholders may collectively purchase or redeem fund shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly. Large shareholder transactions may adversely affect the fund’s liquidity and net assets. These redemptions may also adversely affect the fund’s performance if the fund is forced to sell securities, which may also increase the fund’s brokerage costs.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Authorized participant concentration risk:</span> Only an authorized participant may engage in creation and redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund may have a limited number of financial institutions that act as authorized participants, none of which are obligated to engage in creation and/or redemption transactions. To the extent that those authorized participants do not engage in creation and redemption orders, there may be a significantly diminished trading market for fund shares or fund shares may trade at a discount (or premium) to net asset value and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cash transactions risk:</span> Unlike certain ETFs, the fund may effect creations and redemptions in cash or partially in cash. Therefore, it may be required to sell portfolio securities and subsequently recognize gains on such sales that the fund might not have recognized if it were to distribute portfolio securities in-kind. As such, investments in the fund’s shares may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that distributes portfolio securities entirely in-kind.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Market risk:</span> The value of investments in the fund’s portfolio may fall or fail to rise over extended periods of time for a variety of reasons, including general economic, political or financial market conditions, investor sentiment and</div><div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">market perceptions, government actions, geopolitical events or changes, outbreaks of infectious illnesses or other widespread public health issues, and factors related to a specific issuer, asset class, geography, industry or sector. These and other factors may lead to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in the fund’s portfolio holdings, may negatively impact the fund’s performance, and may exacerbate other risks to which the fund is subject.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Management and operational risk: </span>There is no guarantee that the investment techniques, analyses, or judgments that the Investment Manager applies in making investment decisions for the fund will produce the intended outcome or that the investments selected for the fund will perform as well as other securities that were not selected for the fund. The Investment Manager, or the fund’s other service providers, may experience disruptions or operating errors that could negatively impact the fund.</div><div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund may not achieve its goal, and it is not intended to be a complete investment program. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</div> An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cybersecurity risk:</span> Cybersecurity incidents, both intentional and unintentional, may allow an unauthorized party to gain access to fund assets, fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, cause the fund, the Investment Manager, authorized participants and listing exchanges and/or their service providers (including, but not limited to, fund accountants, custodians, sub-custodians, transfer agents and financial intermediaries) to suffer data breaches, data corruption or loss of operational functionality or prevent fund investors from purchasing or redeeming shares or receiving distributions. The fund and the Investment Manager have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cybersecurity incidents affecting third party service providers, and such third party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the fund and/or the Investment Manager. Cybersecurity incidents may result in financial losses to the fund and its shareholders, and substantial costs may be incurred in an effort to prevent or mitigate future cybersecurity incidents. Issuers of securities in which the fund invests are also subject to cybersecurity risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cybersecurity incidents.</div><div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">Because technology continues to evolve rapidly, including through developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning, new methods of carrying out cyber-attacks continue to emerge. As a result, certain cybersecurity risks may not yet be identified and some cyber-attacks may not be detected promptly, which may limit the fund’s ability to anticipate, prepare for or respond effectively to a cybersecurity incident. Like other funds and business enterprises, the fund, the Investment Manager and their service providers are subject to the risk of cybersecurity incidents from time to time. The rapid development and increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence technologies may increase the sophistication and effectiveness of cyber attacks, which may exacerbate these risks.</div> Performance <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Putnam Pennsylvania Tax Exempt Income Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) in a reorganization that was effective after the market close on November 7, 2025 (the “Reorganization”). As a result of the Reorganization, the fund adopted the performance and financial history of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 shares. Prior to the Reorganization, the fund had not yet commenced operations.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The accompanying bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The returns shown for the periods ended on or prior to November 7, 2025 are those of the Predecessor Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the fund’s (and the Predecessor Fund’s) performance from year to year. The table shows the average annual total returns of the fund (and the Predecessor Fund) and also compares such performance with the average annual total returns of a broad measure of market performance. The Predecessor Fund’s performance is represented by the performance of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 shares. The fund has the same investment goal and substantially similar strategies as the Predecessor Fund. However, the fund has a lower net expense ratio than Class R6 shares of the Predecessor Fund, and the performance of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 shares shown below has not been adjusted to reflect the lower net expense ratio attributable to the fund. As a result, the performance returns of the fund for the periods ended on or prior to November 7, 2025 would have been different than those of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 shares. Had the Predecessor Fund been structured as an ETF, its performance may have differed.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The fund makes updated performance information, including its current net asset value per share, available at www.franklintempleton.com.</div> <div style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-style: italic;">The fund’s (and Predecessor Fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the fund will perform in the future. </span></div> Prior to the Reorganization, the fund had not yet commenced operations.
