RESOLVED:That the purchase of the fidelity bond coverage with ICI Mutual Insurance Company (“ICI Mutual”) and other commercial carriers, which coverage is maintained jointly on behalf of the Fund and the other parties named as insureds therein, including certain investment companies in the Franklin Templeton fund complex, which provides coverage in the aggregate amount of $170 million, for the period June 30, 2025, through June 29, 2026, is approved; and be it further

RESOLVED:That it is the finding of the Board that the fidelity bond coverage with ICI Mutual and other commercial carriers in the aggregate amount of $170 million covering among others, officers and employees of the Fund, and the other named insureds, in accordance with the requirements of Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act, is reasonable in form and amount, after having given due consideration to, among other things, the value of the aggregate assets of the Fund to which any person covered under the fidelity bond may have access, the type and terms of the arrangements made for the custody and safekeeping of assets of the Fund and the nature of the securities in the Fund; and be it further

RESOLVED:That the premium to be paid by the Fund under the Bond, as described in the Meeting materials, is hereby approved and ratified by the Board, after having given due consideration to, among other things, the number of other parties insured under the Bond, the nature of business activities of those other parties, the amount of the Bond, the amount of the premium for such bond, the ratable allocation of the premium among all parties named as insureds and the extent to which the share of the premium allocated to the Fund under the Bond is less than the premium that the Fund would have had to pay had it maintained a single insured bond; and be it further

RESOLVED:That the Agreement Concerning Allocation of Fidelity Bond Premiums and Recoveries (“Agreement”) entered into among the Fund and the other named insureds under the foregoing fidelity bond coverage is approved and ratified and that the officers of the Fund, acting singly or jointly, are hereby authorized to execute and deliver such Agreement, with such changes as such officer may by his execution and delivery approve, the execution and delivery of said Agreement to be conclusive evidence of the Trustees
