 **Western Asset Select Tax Free Reserves**

# Aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes is substantially the same.

<sup>(a)</sup> Variable rate demand obligations ("VRDOs") have a demand feature under which the Fund can tender them back to the issuer or liquidity provider on no more than 7 days notice. The interest rate generally resets on a daily or weekly basis and is determined on the specific interest rate reset date by the remarketing agent, pursuant to a formula specified in official documents for the VRDO, or set at the highest rate allowable as specified in official documents for the VRDO. VRDOs are benchmarked to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association ("SIFMA") Municipal Swap Index. The SIFMA Municipal Swap Index is compiled from weekly interest rate resets of tax-exempt VRDOs reported to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board's Short-term Obligation Rate Transparency System. 

<sup>(b)</sup> Maturity date shown is the final maturity date. The security may be sold back to the issuer before final maturity.

<sup>(c)</sup> Income from this issue is considered a preference item for purposes of calculating the alternative minimum tax ("AMT").

Western Asset Select Tax Free Reserves 2026 Semi-Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**1. Organization and significant accounting policies** 

Western Asset Select Tax Free Reserves (the "Fund") is a separate non-diversified investment series of Legg Mason Partners Institutional Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust, a Maryland statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company.

The Fund is a retail money market fund, meaning that the Fund is only offered to accounts that are beneficially owned solely by natural persons. As a retail money market fund, the Fund tries to maintain a share price of $1.00. Under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, the Fund must follow strict rules as to the credit quality, liquidity, diversification and maturity of its investments.

The Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies ("ASC 946"). The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund and are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including, but not limited to, ASC 946. Estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding assets, liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from operations when financial statements are prepared. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued.

**(a) Investment valuation.** In accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, money market instruments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. This method involves valuing portfolio securities at their cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. The Fund's use of amortized cost is subject to its compliance with certain conditions as specified by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act.

Pursuant to policies adopted by the Board of Trustees (the "Board"), the Fund's manager has been designated as the valuation designee and is responsible for the oversight of the daily valuation process. The Fund's manager is assisted by the Global Fund Valuation Committee (the "Valuation Committee"). The Valuation Committee is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the Fund's pricing policies, and reporting to the Board.

The Fund uses valuation techniques to measure fair value that are consistent with the market approach and/or income approach, depending on the type of security and the particular circumstance. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to discount estimated future cash flows to present value.

------

Western Asset Select Tax Free Reserves 2026 Semi-Annual Report

------

GAAP establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **ASSETS** | **ASSETS** | **ASSETS** | **ASSETS** | **ASSETS** |
| Description | Quoted Prices <br>(Level 1)<br>| Other Significant <br>Observable Inputs <br>(Level 2)<br>| Significant <br>Unobservable <br>Inputs <br>(Level 3)<br>| Total |
| Short-Term Investments† | &nbsp;&nbsp; — | &nbsp;&nbsp; $272015000 | &nbsp;&nbsp; — | &nbsp;&nbsp; $272015000 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

† See
 Schedule of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

**(b) Security transactions and investment income.** Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income (including interest income from payment-in-kind securities) is recorded on the accrual basis. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on debt securities are recorded to interest income over the lives of the respective securities, except for premiums on certain callable debt securities, which are amortized to the earliest call date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method.

**(c) Distributions to shareholders.** Distributions from net investment income of the Fund are declared each business day to shareholders of record and are paid monthly. The Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from federal and certain state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to the shareholders of the Fund. Distributions of net realized gains, if any, are taxable and are declared at least annually. Distributions to shareholders of the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (cont'd)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**(d) Share class accounting.** Investment income, common expenses and realized gains (losses) on investments are allocated to the various classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that share class.

**(e) Federal and other taxes.** It is the Fund's policy to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Fund intends to distribute its taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to shareholders in accordance with timing requirements imposed by the Code. Therefore, no federal or state income tax provision is required in the Fund's financial statements.

Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of August 31, 2025, no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Dividends paid by the Fund from net interest received on tax-exempt money market instruments are not includable by shareholders as gross income for federal tax purposes because the Fund intends to meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, including Subchapter M, which will enable the Fund to pay exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.

**(f) Reclassification.** GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.

**2. Investment management agreement and other transactions with affiliates**

Franklin Templeton Fund Adviser, LLC ("FTFA") is the Fund's investment manager and Western Asset Management Company, LLC ("Western Asset") is the Fund's subadviser. FTFA and Western Asset are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Franklin Resources, Inc. ("Franklin Resources").

------

Western Asset Select Tax Free Reserves 2026 Semi-Annual Report

Under the investment management agreement, the Fund pays an investment management fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, in accordance with the following breakpoint schedule:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Rate |
| First $1 billion | 0.250<br> %<br>|
| Next $1 billion | 0.225 |
| Next $3 billion | 0.200 |
| Next $5 billion | 0.175 |
| Over $10 billion | 0.150 |

---

FTFA provides administrative and certain oversight services to the Fund. FTFA delegates to the subadviser the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. For its services, FTFA pays Western Asset monthly 70% of the net management fee it receives from the Fund.

As a result of expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and FTFA, the ratio of total annual fund operating expenses, other than interest, brokerage, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, to average net assets of Select Shares and Investor Shares did not exceed 0.18% and 0.23%, respectively. These expense limitation arrangements cannot be terminated prior to December 31, 2026 without the Board's consent. Additional amounts may be voluntarily waived and/or reimbursed from time to time.

During the six months ended February 28, 2026, fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed amounted to $226,675.

FTFA is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class during the same fiscal year if the class' total annual fund operating expenses have fallen to a level below the expense limitation ("expense cap") in effect at the time the fees were earned or the expenses incurred. In no case will FTFA recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the Fund, in the class' total annual fund operating expenses exceeding the expense cap or any other lower limit then in effect.

Franklin Distributors, LLC ("Franklin Distributors") serves as the Fund's sole and exclusive distributor. Franklin Distributors is an indirect, wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of Franklin Resources.

Service and/or distribution fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

† Amount
 shown is exclusive of waivers. For the six months ended February 28, 2025, the service and/or distribution
 fees waived amounted to $337 for Investor Shares. The Board has determined that, until December
 31, 2026, service and/or distribution fees shall not exceed 0.05% of average daily net assets attributable
 to Investor Shares. This arrangement cannot be terminated prior to December 31, 2026 without the Board's
 consent. Additional amounts may be voluntarily waived or reduced from time to time.

Because the Fund has maintained a $1.00 net asset value per share from inception, the number of shares sold, shares issued on reinvestment of dividends declared, and shares repurchased is equal to the dollar amount shown in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets for the corresponding fund share transactions.

**6. Deferred capital losses**

As of August 31, 2025, the Fund had deferred capital losses of $18,527, which have no expiration date, that will be available to offset future taxable capital gains.

**7. Operating segments**

The Fund operates as a single operating segment, which is an investment portfolio. A management group assigned to the Fund within the Fund's investment manager serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") and is responsible for evaluating the Fund's operating results and allocating resources in accordance with the Fund's investment strategy.
