If it is estimated that the source of a monthly distribution includes anything other than net investment income, each Fund will provide notice to shareholders containing the estimated sources of the distribution. These notices can be found on each Fund\u2019s website. In early 2027, after definitive information is available, each Fund will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV, if applicable, specifying how the distributions paid by each Fund during the prior calendar year should be characterized for purposes of reporting the distributions on a shareholder\u2019s tax return (e.g., ordinary income, long-term capital gain or return of capital).<\/p><p>\nFor more information about the Funds, please call 1-888-777-0102 or consult the Funds\u2019 website at <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.franklintempleton.com%2Finvestments%2Foptions%2Fclosed-end-funds&amp;esheet=54539962&amp;newsitemid=20260521280035&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=www.franklintempleton.com%2Finvestments%2Foptions%2Fclosed-end-funds&amp;index=1&amp;md5=20d8b80cedbad8472e18f8964bb819ca\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">www.franklintempleton.com\/investments\/options\/closed-end-funds<\/a>.

Similar to stocks, Fund share price will fluctuate with market conditions and, at the time of sale, may be worth more or less than the original investment.
