Franklin Infrastructure Solutions Fund 2026 Annual Report

Management discussion of fund performance

**Dear Shareholder,**

We are pleased to provide the annual report of Franklin Infrastructure Solutions Fund ("FTINRA" or the "Fund") for the period ended March 31, 2026.

The near-term outlook for FTINFRA's private infrastructure portfolio remains constructive, though the broader macroeconomic backdrop has become more complicated. Middle East tensions have shifted from a primarily macro risk to a more direct input-cost and supply-chain concern, with disruption through the Strait of Hormuz tightening global gas and fertilizer markets while oil and shipping costs have risen sharply. This environment is generally supportive for contracted, inflation-linked and essential infrastructure assets, where revenues are often underpinned by regulated, contracted or mission-critical demand. At the same time, it creates a more challenging backdrop for transport and freight-intensive

supply chains.

The Fund is in its early stages of investing and continues to source new investments with attractive volumes seen across our pipeline. Essential infrastructure continues to benefit from durable usage patterns and a growing need for investment across power and digital infrastructure. Electricity networks and related assets should continue to benefit from the energy transition and rising power demand, while data infrastructure remains supported by hyperscale capacity requirements. More broadly, core infrastructure appears well-positioned in growth economies.

As we look ahead to the rest of 2026, we thank you for your continued partnership and support of the Fund.

**1. Organization and significant accounting policies**

Franklin Infrastructure Solutions Fund (the "Fund") is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Fund commenced operations on January 21, 2026.

The Fund's investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation and, to a lesser extent, current income. In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund intends to invest in a range of infrastructure-related assets, including debt and equity interests through a number of different approaches, including: (i) by making Direct Investments, which are investments not syndicated to other investors although primarily alongside transaction sponsors in the same class of equity or debt securities or other instruments as such transaction sponsors; (ii) by making Co-Investments, which are investments syndicated to other investors primarily alongside transaction sponsors in the same class of equity or debt securities or other instruments as such transaction sponsors; (iii) by acquiring Primary Funds, which are investment vehicles (other than Secondary Funds) acquired by the Fund through commitments to the issuer; and (iv) by acquiring Secondary Funds, which are investment vehicles, the interests in which are acquired by the Fund through purchases from existing investors (together with Primary Funds, "Portfolio Funds") that invest primarily in infrastructure assets. The Fund also may invest in securities, secured or unsecured, listed on an exchange or unlisted used as evidence of a right, claim or otherwise a financial obligation related to infrastructure ("Infrastructure Debt") and infrastructure-related equity securities that can be bought or sold on any number of public exchanges ("Listed Infrastructure") (cumulatively, "Infrastructure Interests"). The Fund's portfolio is expected to consist of private infrastructure investments that vary across industry sectors and geographies including developed and growing economies as well as various investment stages. The Fund intends to make investments focused on the areas of renewables and energy and communications/digital infrastructure in both developed and growing economies across a variety of private infrastructure investments. The Fund may also invest in other areas such as transportation and logistics, utilities, social infrastructure, natural capital and other real assets that provide necessary services to society.

The Fund also intends to invest a portion of its assets in a portfolio of liquid assets, including cash and cash equivalents, liquid fixed income securities and other credit instruments, equity securities, derivatives and other investment companies, including money market funds and exchange-traded funds ("Liquid Assets").

The Fund may make investments directly or indirectly through one or more entities or wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Fund may form a subsidiary in order to pursue its investment objective and strategies in a potentially tax-efficient manner, to facilitate potential future liquidity options or for the purpose of facilitating its use of permitted borrowings. Unless otherwise noted, this Schedule of Investments is the Consolidated Schedule of Investments of the Fund and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation for the Fund.

10\|

Franklin Infrastructure Solutions Fund 2026 Annual Report

------

As of March 31, 2026, the Fund's wholly-owned subsidiaries are FTINFRA Holdings LLC, FTINFRA Subsidiary LLC, and FTINFRA Intermediary LLC (collectively, the "Subsidiaries"). FTINFRA Holdings LLC invests primarily in Direct Investments, Co-Investments, and Portfolio Funds with capital contributed indirectly by the Fund. Each of the Subsidiaries is treated as a disregarded entity of the Fund for tax purposes.

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.** The Fund calculates its net asset value on a monthly basis by subtracting liabilities (including accrued expenses or distributions) from the total assets of the Fund (the value of investments, plus cash or other assets, including interest and distributions accrued but not yet received). The Fund's assets and liabilities are valued in accordance with GAAP using the principles set forth below.

<u>Valuation oversight</u>

Pursuant to policies adopted by the Board of Trustees (the "Board"), Franklin Templeton Private Markets Adviser, LLC ("FTPMA" or "Manager") has been designated as the valuation designee and is responsible for the oversight of the monthly valuation process. The Board has designated FTPMA to perform these fair value determinations relating to the value of such investments, in accordance with such procedures and Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. FTPMA 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 FTPMA and the Board. The Board oversees the Valuation Committee's implementation of the valuation policy and may consult with representatives from the Fund's outside legal counsel or other third-party consultants in their discussions and deliberations. In its fair valuation process of Portfolio Funds, Direct Investments and Co-Investments, the Valuation Committee may consult with the Fund's sub-adviser and sub-sub-advisers. However, the sub-adviser and sub-sub-advisers will not determine the fair values assigned to the Fund's assets. The value of the Fund's assets will be based on information reasonably available at the time the valuation is made, and that the Valuation Committee believes to be reliable.

Notes to consolidated financial statements (cont'd)

<u>Private Assets</u>

The fair values of the Fund's investments in Portfolio Funds and certain Direct Investments and Co-Investments are generally determined monthly using the net asset value ("NAV") as a practical expedient in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement ("ASC 820"). Portfolio Funds are generally valued based on the latest NAV reported by the Portfolio Fund manager or general partner. Similarly, many Direct Investments and Co-Investments are generally valued based on the valuation information provided by the lead or sponsoring private investor. When determining the fair values of Portfolio Funds, the Fund also considers public index returns which may be relevant to individual Portfolio Funds, Direct Investments and Co-Investments for purposes of considering any adjustments to the fair value of each Portfolio Fund, Direct Investment and Co-Investment. In addition, the Fund also assesses any public company exposure held by Portfolio Funds, Direct Investments and Co-Investments, including any material events or price movement, for purposes of determining fair value at the measurement date. The valuation of Portfolio Funds, Direct Investments and Co-Investments may be based on imperfect information and is subject to inherent uncertainties.

To the extent the Valuation Committee is either unable to utilize the practical expedient under ASC 820, or where the Valuation Committee determines that use of the practical expedient is not appropriate as it will not result in a price that represents the fair value of an investment, the Valuation Committee will make a fair value determination.

Investments without a readily determinable fair value are primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Valuation Committee may take into account in fair value pricing the Fund's investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cashflows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors. When available, broker quotations and/or quotations provided by pricing services are considered as an input in the valuation process. With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, a multi-step valuation process is undertaken, as described below:

• Each portfolio company or investment will be valued by FTPMA, with assistance from one

or more independent valuation firms;

12\|

Franklin Infrastructure Solutions Fund 2026 Annual Report

------

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

• The independent valuation firm(s) conduct independent appraisals and make an

independent assessment of the value of each investment; and

• FTPMA, under the supervision of the Board, determines the fair value of each

investment, in good faith, based on the input of independent valuation firm(s) (to the

extent applicable) and FTPMA's own analysis.

<u>Liquid Assets</u>

The valuations for fixed income securities (which may include, but are not limited to, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, and collateralized mortgage obligations) and certain derivative instruments are typically the prices supplied by independent third party pricing services, which may use market prices or broker/dealer quotations or a variety of valuation techniques and methodologies. The independent third party pricing services typically use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar securities. Investments in open-end funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each fund on the day of valuation. Equity securities, including exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. When the Fund holds securities or other assets that are denominated in a foreign currency, the Fund will normally use the currency exchange rates as of 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). If independent third-party pricing services are unable to supply prices for a portfolio investment, or if the prices supplied are deemed by FTPMA to be unreliable, the market price may be determined by FTPMA using quotations from one or more broker/dealers or at the transaction price if the security has recently been purchased and no value has yet been obtained from a pricing service or pricing broker. When reliable prices are not readily available, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Fund calculates its NAV, the Fund values these securities as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Fund's Board.

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)

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

\* The information summarized in the table above represents the general terms for the specified investment type. Individual Private Asset investments may have terms that are more or less restrictive than those terms indicated for the investment type as a whole. In addition, most Private Asset investments have the flexibility, as provided for in their constituent documents, to modify and waive such terms. 

\*\* Distributions from Private Asset investments occur at irregular intervals, and the exact timing of distributions from Private Asset investments cannot be determined. It is estimated that distributions will generally occur over the life of Private Asset investments. 

**(b) Cash flow information.** The Fund invests in securities and distributes dividends from net investment income and net realized gains, which are paid in cash and may be reinvested at the discretion of shareholders. These activities are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets and additional information on cash receipts and cash payments is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

**(c) Concentration risk.** The Fund will concentrate its investments in the infrastructure industry and may focus its investments in one or more infrastructure market segments (e.g.,

14\|

Franklin Infrastructure Solutions Fund 2026 Annual Report

------

energy, digital, transportation, renewables, social and utilities assets). As a result, the Fund's portfolio is subject to greater risk and volatility than if investments had been made in a broader diversification of asset types and industries.

**(d) Other risks.** The Fund's investments in Portfolio Funds and Co-Investments are subject to a number of risks. These interests are expected to be illiquid, their marketability may be restricted and the realization of investments from them may take considerable time and/or be costly. Although the Fund will seek to receive detailed information from each Portfolio Fund regarding its business strategy and any performance history, in most cases the Fund will have little or no means of independently verifying this information. In addition, Portfolio Funds may have little or no near-term cash flow available to distribute to investors, including the Fund.

**(e) Investment transactions and investment income.** Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Distributions received from Portfolio Funds and Co-Investments occur at irregular intervals and the exact timing of the distribution cannot be determined. The classification of distributions is based on the information received from the investment manager or administrator of the Portfolio Funds and Co-Investments and it can be in cash or in-kind, including interest income and dividend income, realized gains and return of capital. Return of capital or security distributions received from Portfolio Funds and Co-Investments are accounted for as a reduction to cost.

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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method.

**(f) Distributions to shareholders.** Distributions from net investment income and distributions of net realized gains, if any, 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.

**(g) Organization costs.** Organization costs associated with the establishment of the Fund are charged to expense as they are incurred.

**(h) Offering costs.** Costs incurred in connection with the Fund's public offering are deferred until the commencement of the Fund's public offering and then will be amortized on a straight line basis over twelve months.

**(i) Federal and other taxes.** As of March 31, 2026, the Fund is treated as a disregarded entity for tax purposes. Therefore, no federal or state income tax provision is required in the Fund's financial statements.

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

**(j) 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. During the current year, the Fund had no reclassifications.

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

**<u>Management Fee</u>**

In consideration of the advisory services provided by FTPMA, the Fund pays FTPMA a quarterly management fee at an annual rate of 1.25% based on the value of the Fund's net assets calculated and accrued monthly as of the last business day of each month (the "Management Fee"). For purposes of determining the Management Fee payable to FTPMA, the value of the Fund's net assets will be calculated prior to the inclusion of the Management Fee and Incentive Fee (as defined below), if any, payable to FTPMA or to any purchases or repurchases of shares of the Fund or any distributions by the Fund. The Management Fee will be payable in arrears within 5 business days after the completion of

16\|

Franklin Infrastructure Solutions Fund 2026 Annual Report

------

the net asset value computation for the quarter. The Management Fee is paid to FTPMA out of the Fund's assets, and therefore decreases the net profits or increases the net losses of the Fund.

Purchased shares are incorporated into the beginning of month net asset value and included in the computation of the Management Fee payable. For the period ending March 31, 2026, FTPMA waived the Management Fee.

**<u>Incentive Fee</u>**

At the end of each calendar quarter, FTPMA will be entitled to receive an incentive fee equal to 12.50% of the excess, if any, of (i) the Net Profits (as defined below) of the Fund for the relevant period over (ii) the then balance, if any, of the sum of the Hurdle Amount (as defined below) and the Loss Recovery Account (as defined below) (the "Incentive Fee").

FTPMA will be entitled to receive an Incentive Fee in an amount equal to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• First, if the Net Profits for the applicable period exceeds the sum of the Hurdle Amount for that period and the Loss Recovery Account (any such excess, "Excess Profits"), 100% of such Excess Profits until the total amount allocated to FTPMA equals 12.5% of the sum of (x) the Hurdle Amount for that period and (y) any amount allocated to FTPMA pursuant to this clause (any such amount, the "Catch-Up"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Second, to the extent there are remaining Excess Profits, 12.5% of such remaining Excess Profits.

"Net Profits" shall mean the amount by which (i) the sum of (A) the net asset value of the Fund as of the end of such quarter, (B) the aggregate repurchase price of all shares repurchased by the Fund during such quarter and (C) the amount of dividends and other distributions paid in respect of the Fund during such quarter and not reinvested in additional shares through the dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") exceeds (ii) the sum of (X) the net asset value of the Fund as of the beginning of such quarter and (Y) the aggregate issue price of shares of the Fund issued during such quarter (excluding any shares of such class issued in connection with the reinvestment through the DRIP of dividends paid, or other distributions made, by the Fund through the DRIP). FTPMA will pay a portion of the Incentive Fee, if any, to FAV.

"Hurdle Amount" means, for any quarter, that amount that results in a 5% annualized internal rate of return on the net asset value of the Fund as of the beginning of the quarter and the aggregate issue price of shares of the Fund issued during such quarter, taking into account:

(i) the timing and amount of all distributions accrued or paid (without duplication) on all shares of the Fund minus Fund expenses (excluding distribution and servicing fees); and

(ii) all issuances of shares of the Fund over the period.

------

Notes to consolidated financial statements (cont'd)

The ending net asset value of shares of the Fund used in calculating the internal rate of return will be calculated before giving effect to any allocation/accrual to the Incentive Fee and applicable expenses for the distribution and servicing fees. For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of the Hurdle Amount for any period will exclude any shares of the Fund repurchased during such period.

Except as described in Loss Recovery Account below, any amount by which Net Profits falls below the Hurdle Amount will not be carried forward to subsequent periods.

"Loss Recovery Account" means a memorandum account maintained by the Fund, which will have an initial balance of zero and will be (i) increased upon the close of each calendar quarter of the Fund by the amount of the net losses of the Fund for the quarter, before giving effect to any repurchases or distributions for such quarter, and (ii) decreased (but not below zero) upon the close of each calendar quarter by the amount of the net profits of the Fund for the quarter. For purposes of the Loss Recovery Account, the term "net losses" shall mean the amount by which (i) the sum of (A) the net asset value of the Fund as of the beginning of such quarter and (B) the aggregate issue price of shares of the Fund issued during such quarter (excluding any shares of such class issued in connection with the reinvestment of dividends paid, or other distributions made, by the Fund through the DRIP exceeds (ii) the sum of (X) the net asset value of the Fund as of the end of such quarter, (Y) the aggregate repurchase price of all shares repurchased by the Fund during such quarter and (Z) the amount of dividends and other distributions paid in respect of the Fund during such quarter and not reinvested in additional shares through the DRIP. Shareholders will benefit from the Loss Recovery Account in proportion to their holdings of shares. For purposes of the "net losses" calculation, the net asset value shall include unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and realized income and gains or losses and expenses (including offering and organizational expenses). Incentive Fees are accrued monthly and paid quarterly. For purposes of calculating Incentive Fees, such accruals are not deducted from net asset value.

FTPMA does not return to the Fund amounts paid to it on net profits that the Fund has not yet received in cash if such amounts are not ultimately received by the Fund in cash. If the Fund does not ultimately receive amounts in cash, a loss would be recognized, which would increase the amount of the Loss Recovery Account and reduce future Incentive Fee payments.

Any Incentive Fee payable by the Fund that relates to an increase in value of the Fund's investments may be computed and paid on gain or income that is unrealized, and FTPMA is not obligated to reimburse the Fund for any part of an Incentive Fee it previously received. If a Fund investment with an unrealized gain subsequently decreases in value, it is possible that such unrealized gain previously included in the calculation of an Incentive Fee will never become realized. Thus, the Fund could have paid an Incentive Fee on income or gain the Fund never received.

No Incentive Fee will be paid by the Fund directly to the Sub-Advisers, unless the Sub-Advisers elect to receive all or a portion of its Incentive Fee receivable from FTPMA under their sub-advisory agreements in shares, in which case the Fund could issue such shares directly to the sub-advisers.

For the period ended March 31, 2026, the Fund did not earn or accrue any Incentive Fees under its incentive fee arrangement.

**<u>Sub-Advisory Fee</u>**

FAV receives an annual Sub-Advisory Fee (the "Sub-Advisory Fee"), payable quarterly, from FTPMA. No Sub-Advisory Fees will be paid by the Fund directly to the Sub-Advisers, unless the Sub-Advisers elects to receive all or a portion of its Sub-Advisory Fee receivable from FTPMA under their sub-advisory agreements in shares, in which case the Fund could issue such shares directly to the Sub-Advisers, as applicable.

**<u>Payment of Management Fee, Sub-Advisory Fee or Incentive Fee in Shares</u>**

The Fund has received an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits the Fund to pay FTPMA and Sub-Advisers all or a portion of its Management Fee, Sub-Advisory Fee and/or Incentive Fee, as applicable, in shares in lieu of paying FTPMA an equivalent amount of such fees in cash. As a condition of this exemptive relief, FTPMA and Sub-Advisers commit not to sell any such shares received in lieu of a cash payment of its Management Fee, Sub-Advisory Fee or Incentive Fee, as applicable, for at least 12 months from the date of issuance, except in exceptional circumstances.

**<u>Expense Limitation</u>**

Pursuant to an expense limitation agreement (the "Expense Limitation Agreement") with the Fund, FTPMA has agreed to waive fees that it would otherwise be paid, and/or to assume expenses of the Fund, if required to ensure certain annual operating expenses (excluding the Management Fee, Incentive Fee, any distribution and servicing fee, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend and interest expenses relating to short sales, borrowing costs, merger or reorganization expenses, shareholder meetings expenses, litigation expenses, expenses associated with the acquisition and disposition of investments (including interest and structuring costs for borrowings and line(s) of credit), valuation service providers and extraordinary expenses, if any; collectively, the "Excluded Expenses") do not exceed 0.65% per annum (excluding Excluded Expenses) of the Fund's average monthly net assets of the class of shares currently offered.

With respect to the class of shares currently offered, the Fund agrees to repay FTPMA any fees waived or expenses assumed under the Expense Limitation Agreement for such class of shares, provided the repayments do not cause the Fund's annual operating expenses (excluding Excluded Expenses) for that class of shares to exceed the expense limitation in place at the time the fees were waived and/or the expenses were reimbursed, or the expense limitation in place at the time the Fund repays FTPMA, whichever is lower. FTPMA is permitted to recapture amounts forgone or reimbursed within thirty-six months after the

Board approval of management and

subadvisory agreements (unaudited)

At an in-person meeting held on February 10-11, 2026 (the "Meeting"), the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Franklin Infrastructure Solutions Fund (the "Fund") approved the investment management agreement (the "Management Agreement") between the Fund and Franklin Templeton Private Markets Adviser, LLC (the "Manager"), pursuant to which the Manager would provide the Fund with investment advisory and administrative services for an initial two-year period. At the Meeting, the Board also approved the sub-advisory agreement (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement") between the Manager and Franklin Advisers, Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser"), and sub-sub-advisory agreements (each, a "Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement" and together, the "Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreements") between the Sub-Adviser and each of Lexington Advisers LLC, ClearBridge Investments (North America) Pty Limited, Franklin Templeton Investments Corp, Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. and Benefit Street Partners Limited (each, a "Sub-Sub-Adviser" and together, the "Sub-Sub-Advisers"), pursuant to which the Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Advisers would provide the Fund with investment sub-advisory services for an initial two-year period. The Adviser, Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Advisers are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Franklin Resources, Inc. ("Franklin Resources").

The Trustees of the Board who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (the "Independent Trustees") of the Fund were assisted in their review of the Management Agreement, the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreements by Fund counsel and independent legal counsel and met with independent legal counsel in executive session at the Meeting separate from representatives of the Manager, Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Advisers. Prior to the Meeting, the Independent Trustees considered information from the Manager, the Sub-Advisers and Sub-Sub-Advisers that they deemed reasonably necessary for their review of the Management Agreement, the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreements. The discussion below reflects all of these reviews.

**Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services to be provided to the Fund under the Management Agreement, the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreements**

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the respective services to be provided to the Fund and its shareholders by the Manager, the Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Sub-Advisers under the Management Agreement, the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreements, respectively. The Board also considered the Manager's supervisory responsibilities with respect to the Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Sub-Advisers. The Board noted that although the Fund is newly-organized and has no operating history, the Board took into consideration its knowledge gained and information received at regular meetings throughout the year related to the services rendered by the Manager in its management of other closed-end funds in the same complex under the

Board's purview, including the Manager's coordination and oversight of the activities of sub-advisers and other service providers to those funds. The Board reviewed information received from the Manager and the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer (the "CCO") regarding the Manager's compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to the 1940 Act. The Board also reviewed information from the CCO regarding the compliance policies and procedures established by the Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Advisers pursuant to the 1940 Act.

As a newly-organized fund, the Fund had no historical performance information available at the time of the Meeting for the Board to consider in its evaluation of the terms and conditions of the Management Agreement, the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Board reviewed the investment objectives and policies of the Fund with representatives from Franklin Templeton. The Board members discussed with representatives of Franklin Templeton the experience and capabilities of the Manager, Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Advisers in the management of funds and investment vehicles comparable to the Fund and also discussed the Manager's, Sub-Adviser's and Sub-Sub-Advisers' compliance capabilities. The Board also considered, based on its knowledge of the Manager and the Manager's affiliates, the financial resources available to be employed by Franklin Resources for the benefit of the Fund.

The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser with respect to making investment decisions for the Fund's investments in infrastructure interests. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by Lexington Advisers LLC with respect to making investment decisions for the Fund's investments in secondary funds and certain co-investments. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by ClearBridge Investments (North America) Pty Limited with respect to making investments in listed infrastructure investments. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by Franklin Templeton Investments Corp. with respect to coordinating with the Sub-Adviser in making investment decisions for the Fund's investments in infrastructure interests. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by each of Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. and Benefit Street Partners Limited with respect to making investment decisions for the Fund's investments in certain infrastructure debt. The Board also reviewed the experience, qualifications, background and responsibilities of the Sub-Adviser's and Sub-Sub-Advisers' personnel who would be primarily responsible for such services, as well as the financial and other resources available to the Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Advisers to support their activities in respect of the Fund.

The Board also considered the division of responsibilities of the Manager, the Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Advisers under the Management Agreement, Sub-Advisory Agreement and Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreements, respectively, including the Manager's coordination and oversight of services to be provided to the Fund by the Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Advisers

and other fund service providers. The Board noted that the Manager does not provide day-to-day portfolio management services to the Fund, and that, under the Sub-Advisory Agreement and Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Advisers will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments, subject to the supervision of the Board and the Manager.

The Board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the respective services expected to be provided by the Manager under the Management Agreement and by the Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreement and Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreements, respectively.

**Management, Sub-Advisory and Sub-Sub-Advisory Fees, Expense Ratios and Manager Profitability**

The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee (the "Contractual Management Fee") and incentive fee (the "Incentive Fee") payable by the Fund to the Manager under the Management Agreement, the contractual sub-advisory fee (the "Contractual Sub-Advisory Fee") payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the contractual sub-sub-advisory fee (the "Contractual Sub-Sub-Advisory Fee") payable by the Sub-Adviser to each Sub-Sub-Adviser, in view of the nature, extent and quality of the management and sub-advisory services expected to be provided by the Manager, the Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Advisers to the Fund. The Contractual Management Fee is an annual fee, payable quarterly, in an amount equal to 1.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Incentive Fee is a quarterly fee equal to 12.50% of the excess of "net profits" as calculated pursuant to the formula described in the Management Agreement. The Board noted that the Manager, and not the Fund, is responsible for payment of the Contractual Sub-Advisory Fee to the Sub-Adviser, and that the Sub-Adviser, and not the Fund, is responsible for payment of the Contractual Sub-Sub-Advisory Fee to each Sub-Sub-Adviser and, accordingly, that the retention of Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Advisers would not increase the fees and expenses to be incurred by the Fund's shareholders. The Board also noted that the Manager will provide the Fund with regulatory compliance and administrative services, office facilities and officers (including the chief financial, chief legal and chief compliance officers), and that the Manager will coordinate and oversee the provision of services to the Fund by other fund service providers, including the Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Advisers.

The Board received and considered information comparing the Contractual Management Fee and total expenses with those of a group of comparable funds provided by an independent third-party provider of investment company data. The Board obtained confirmation from the Manager that the fees and expenses of the Fund are in line with those of comparable funds. The Manager discussed the expected expense ratio of the Fund, including comparisons to the expense ratios of comparable funds. The Board noted that the

Franklin Infrastructure Solutions Fund

subadvisory agreements (unaudited) (cont'd)

expected expense ratio reflects the expense limitation agreement between the Fund and the Manager where the Manager has agreed to waive fees that it would otherwise be paid, and/or to assume expenses of the Fund, if required to ensure certain annual operating expenses, subject to certain exclusions, do not exceed 0.65% per annum (excluding the excluded expenses) of the Fund's average daily net assets of the Fund's shares. The Manager may not terminate the expense limitation agreement prior to one year after the Fund has commenced operations. The Manager is permitted to recapture amounts forgone or reimbursed within thirty-six months after the month in which the Manager earned the fee or incurred the expense if the total annual Fund operating expenses have fallen to a level below the expense limit. In no case will the Manager recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the Fund, in a relevant share class's total annual operating expenses exceeding the applicable limits described above or any other lower limit then in effect.

Taking all of the above into consideration, the Board determined that the Contractual Management Fee, Incentive Fee, Contractual Sub-Advisory Fee and Contractual Sub-Sub-Advisory Fees were reasonable in view of the expense information presented and the nature, extent and quality of the services expected to be provided under the Management Agreement, the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreements, respectively.

As a newly-organized fund, the Board noted that the Fund had no historical profitability information available for the Board to consider at the time of the Meeting, and the Manager explained there was significant uncertainty concerning the components of a profitability analysis for a new fund so pro forma information regarding the projected profitability to the Manager of its services to the Fund was not available. The profitability to the Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Sub-Advisers was not considered to be a material factor in the Board's consideration since such fees are paid by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser and paid by the Sub-Adviser to the Sub-Sub-Advisers. Under the circumstances, the Board concluded that the profitability to the Manager was not expected to be excessive, particularly in view of the Manager's agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses through the first year of the Fund's operations, but did not give such information significant weight in its evaluations.

**Economies of Scale**

The Manager stated that as the Fund's assets increase over time, the Fund and its shareholders might realize economies of scale as certain expenses, such as fixed fund fees, become a smaller percentage of overall assets. The Board took into account the Manager's discussion of the Fund's management fee structure. The Board considered that, as a newly-organized fund, there was uncertainty regarding the ability of the Fund to attract assets and the rate of asset growth that will be achieved. In view of the uncertainty as to

26\|

------

the growth of assets, and taking into account the Manager's agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses through the first year of the Fund's operations, the Board concluded that the Contractual Management Fee, Incentive Fee, Contractual Sub-Advisory Fee and Contractual Sub-Sub-Advisory Fee structures are each appropriate at this time.

**Other Benefits to the Manager**

The Board considered other benefits expected to be received by the Manager and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Advisers, as a result of the Manager's relationship with the Fund. In view of the expected costs of providing investment management and other services to the Fund and the Manager's commitment to the Fund, the other ancillary benefits that the Manager and its affiliates expect to receive were not considered excessive.

In view of all of the foregoing and other relevant factors, the Board determined, under the circumstances, that approval of the Management Agreement, the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreements would be consistent with the interests of the Fund and its shareholders and unanimously voted to approve each Agreement for an initial two-year period. No single factor reviewed by the Board was identified by the Board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Management Agreement, the Sub-Advisory Agreement and Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreements, and each Board member may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process. Prior to the Meeting, the Board received a memorandum prepared by independent legal counsel discussing its responsibilities in connection with the Board's consideration of the Management Agreement, the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreements. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees also discussed the proposed approval of the Management Agreement, the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreements in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Manager, the Sub-Adviser, or the Sub-Sub-Advisers were present.

Dividend reinvestment plan (unaudited)

The Fund will operate under a dividend reinvestment plan (the "DRIP") administered by SS&C Global Investor & Distribution Solutions, Inc. ("SS&C"). Pursuant to the DRIP, the Fund's distributions, net of any applicable U.S. withholding tax, are reinvested in the same class of shares of the Fund (the "Shares"). The Fund expects to coordinate distribution payment dates so that the same net asset value that is used for the monthly closing date immediately preceding such distribution payment date will be used to calculate the purchase net asset value for purchasers under the DRIP. Shares issued pursuant to the DRIP will have the same voting rights as the Fund's Shares acquired by subscription to the Fund.

Shareholders of the Fund (the "Shareholders") automatically participate in the DRIP, unless and until an election is made to withdraw from the plan on behalf of such participating Shareholder. A Shareholder who does not wish to have distributions automatically reinvested may terminate participation in the DRIP at any time by written instructions to that effect to SS&C. Shareholders who elect not to participate in the DRIP will receive all distributions in cash paid to the Shareholder of record (or, if the Shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee). Such written instructions must be received by SS&C 30 days prior to the record date of the distribution or the Shareholder will receive such distribution in Shares through the DRIP. Under the DRIP, the Fund's distributions to Shareholders are automatically reinvested in full and fractional Shares as described below.

When the Fund declares a distribution, SS&C, on the Shareholder's behalf, will receive additional authorized Shares from the Fund either newly issued or repurchased from Shareholders by the Fund and held as treasury stock. The number of Shares to be received when distributions are reinvested will be determined by dividing the amount of the distribution by the Fund's net asset value per Share for the relevant class of Shares.

SS&C will maintain all Shareholder accounts and furnish written confirmations of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by Shareholders for personal and tax records. SS&C will hold Shares in the account of the Shareholders in non-certificated form in the name of the participant, and each shareholder's proxy, if any, will include those Shares purchased pursuant to the DRIP. SS&C will distribute all proxy solicitation materials, if any, to participating Shareholders.

In the case of Shareholders, such as banks, brokers or nominees, that hold Shares for others who are beneficial owners participating under the DRIP, SS&C will administer the DRIP on the basis of the number of Shares certified from time to time by the record Shareholder as representing the total amount of Shares registered in the Shareholder's name and held for the account of beneficial owners participating under the DRIP.

Neither SS&C nor the Fund shall have any responsibility or liability beyond the exercise of ordinary care for any action taken or omitted pursuant to the DRIP, nor shall they have any duties, responsibilities or liabilities except such as expressly set forth herein. Neither shall

they be liable hereunder for any act done in good faith or for any good faith omissions to act, including, without limitation, failure to terminate a participant's account prior to receipt of written notice of his or her death or with respect to prices at which Shares are purchased or sold for the participants account and the terms on which such purchases and sales are made, subject to applicable provisions of the federal securities laws.

The automatic reinvestment of dividends will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such dividends. The Fund may elect to make non-cash distributions to Shareholders. Such distributions are not subject to the DRIP, and all Shareholders, regardless of whether or not they are participants in the DRIP, will receive such distributions in additional Shares of the Fund.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the DRIP. There is no direct service charge to participants with regard to purchases under the DRIP; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the DRIP to include a service charge payable by the participants.

All correspondence concerning the DRIP should be directed to Franklin Infrastructure Solutions Fund c/o SS&C Global Investor & Distribution Solutions, Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) N/A

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Pursuant to Item 19(a) (1), the Registrant is attaching as an exhibit a copy of its code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officers and principal financial and accounting officer.

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The Board of Directors of the Registrant has determined that Eileen A. Kamerick and Nisha Kumar, possesses the technical attributes identified in Item 3 to Form N-CSR to qualify as an "audit committee financial experts," and has designated Eileen A. Kamerick and Nisha Kumar, as the Audit Committee's financial experts. Eileen A. Kamerick and Nisha Kumar are an "independent" Trustee pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of Item 3 to Form N-CSR.

Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an "expert" for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) <u>Audit Fees</u>. The aggregate fees billed in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 (the "Reporting Periods") for professional services rendered by the Registrant's principal accountant (the "Auditor") for the audit of the Registrant's annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided by the Auditor in connection with the statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the Reporting Period, were $29,500 in March 31, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) <u>Audit-Related Fees</u>. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Period for assurance and related services by the Auditor that are reasonably related to the performance of the Registrant's financial statements were $0 in March 31, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Tax Fees</u>. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Period for professional services rendered by the Auditor for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning ("Tax Services") were $0 in March 31, 2026. These services consisted of (i) review or preparation of U.S. federal, state, local and excise tax returns; (ii) U.S. federal, state and local tax planning, advice and assistance regarding statutory, regulatory or administrative developments, and (iii) tax advice regarding tax qualification matters and/or treatment of various financial instruments held or proposed to be acquired or held.

There were no fees billed for tax services by the Auditors to the Registrant's investment manager and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment manager that provides ongoing services to the Registrant ("Service Affiliates") during the Reporting Periods that required pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) <u>All Other Fees</u>. The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Period for products and services provided by the Auditor to the Registrant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this item, were $0 in March 31, 2026.

There were no other non-audit services rendered by the Auditor to the Service Affiliates requiring pre-approval by the Audit Committee in the Reporting Periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Audit Committee's pre–approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c) (7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The Charter for the Audit Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of each registered investment company (the "Fund") advised by the Registrant's investment manager or one of their affiliates (each, an "Adviser") requires that the Committee shall approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund's independent auditors to the Adviser and any service providers controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provide ongoing services to the Fund ("Covered Service Providers") if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. The Committee may implement policies and procedures by which such services are approved other than by the full Committee.

The Committee shall not approve non-audit services that the Committee believes may impair the independence of the auditors. As of the date of the approval of this Audit Committee Charter, permissible non-audit services include any professional services (including tax services), that are not prohibited services as described below, provided to the Fund by the independent auditors, other than those provided to the Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Fund. Permissible non-audit services may not include: (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund; (ii) financial information systems design and implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services; (v) internal audit outsourcing services; (vi) management functions or human resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; (viii) legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and (ix) any other service the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.

Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and the Covered Service Providers constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided to (a) the Fund, (b) the Adviser and (c) any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be approved by the Committee; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to the completion of the audit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) None of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item were performed in reliance on paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Not applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to the Registrant and the Service Affiliates during the reporting period $538,089 in March 31, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Yes. The Registrant's Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates, which were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval), is compatible with maintaining the Auditor's independence. All services provided by the Auditor to the Registrant or to the Service Affiliates, which were required to be pre-approved, were pre-approved as required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Not applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Not applicable.

**PROXY VOTING – FRANKLIN ADVISORS, INC. (and affiliates)**

**PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES OF FRANKLIN ADVISERS, INC. ("FAV")**

**RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INVESTMENT MANAGERS TO VOTE PROXIES**

Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions, a separate investment group within Franklin Templeton, comprised of investment personnel from the SEC-registered investment advisers listed on Appendix A (hereinafter individually an "Investment Manager" and collectively the "Investment Managers") have delegated the administrative duties with respect to voting proxies for securities to the Franklin Templeton Proxy Group. Proxy duties consist of disseminating proxy materials and analyses of issuers whose stock is owned by any client (including both investment companies and any separate accounts managed by the Investment Managers) that has either delegated proxy voting administrative responsibility to the Investment Managers or has asked for information and/or recommendations on the issues to be voted. The Investment Managers will inform advisory clients that have not delegated the voting responsibility but that have requested voting advice about the Investment Managers' views on such proxy votes. The Proxy Group also provides these services to other advisory affiliates of the Investment Managers.

The Proxy Group will process proxy votes on behalf of, and the Investment Managers vote proxies solely in the best interests of, separate account clients, the Investment Managers'-managed investment company shareholders, or shareholders of funds that have appointed Franklin Templeton International Services S.à.r.l. ("FTIS S.à.r.l.") as the Management Company, provided such funds or clients have properly delegated such responsibility in writing, or, where employee benefit plan assets subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, are involved ("ERISA accounts"), in the best interests of the plan participants and beneficiaries (collectively, "Advisory Clients"), unless (i) the power to vote has been specifically retained by the named fiduciary in the documents in which the named fiduciary appointed the Investment Managers or (ii) the documents otherwise expressly prohibit the Investment Managers from voting proxies. The Investment Managers recognize that the exercise of voting rights on securities held by ERISA plans for which the Investment Managers have voting responsibility is a fiduciary duty that must be exercised with care, skill, prudence and diligence.

In certain circumstances, Advisory Clients are permitted to direct their votes in a solicitation pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement. An Advisory Client that wishes to direct its vote shall give reasonable prior written notice to the Investment Managers indicating such intention and provide written instructions directing the Investment Managers or the Proxy Group to vote regarding the solicitation. Where such prior written notice is received, the Proxy Group will vote proxies in accordance with such written notification received from the Advisory Client.

*\** Rule 38a-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") and Rule 206(4)-7 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("Advisers Act") (together the "Compliance Rule") require registered investment companies and registered investment advisers to, among other things, adopt and implement written olicies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws ("Compliance Rule Policies and Procedures").

The Investment Managers have adopted and implemented Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures ("Proxy Policies") that they believe are reasonably designed to ensure that proxies are voted in the best interest of Advisory Clients in accordance with their fiduciary duties and rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. To the extent that the Investment Managers have a subadvisory agreement with an affiliated investment manager (the "Affiliated Subadviser") with respect to a particular Advisory Client, the Investment Managers may delegate proxy voting responsibility to the Affiliated Subadviser. The Investment Managers may also delegate proxy voting responsibility to a subadviser that is not an Affiliated Subadviser in certain limited situations as disclosed to fund shareholders (e.g., where an Investment Manager to a pooled investment vehicle has engaged a subadviser that is not an Affiliated Subadviser to manage all or a portion of the assets).

**HOW THE INVESTMENT MANAGERS VOTE PROXIES**

**Proxy Services**

All proxies received by the Proxy Group will be voted based upon the Investment Managers' instructions and/or policies. To assist it in analyzing proxies of equity securities, the Investment Managers subscribe to Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS"), an unaffiliated third-party corporate governance research service that provides in-depth analyses of shareholder meeting agendas and vote recommendations. In addition, the Investment Managers subscribe to ISS's Proxy Voting Service and Vote Disclosure Service. These services include receipt of proxy ballots, custodian bank relations, account maintenance, vote execution, ballot reconciliation, vote record maintenance, comprehensive reporting capabilities, and vote disclosure services. Also, the Investment Managers subscribe to Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC ("Glass Lewis"), an unaffiliated third-party analytical research firm, to receive analyses and vote recommendations on the shareholder meetings of publicly held U.S. companies, as well as a limited subscription to its international research.

Although analyses provided by ISS, Glass Lewis, and/or another independent third-party proxy service provider (each a "Proxy Service") are thoroughly reviewed and considered in making a final voting decision, the Investment Managers do not consider recommendations from a Proxy Service or any third-party to be determinative of the Investment Managers' ultimate decision. Rather, the Investment Managers exercise their independent judgment in making voting decisions. As a matter of policy, the officers, directors and employees of the Investment Managers and the Proxy Group will not be influenced by outside sources whose interests conflict with the interests of Advisory Clients.

For ease of reference, the Proxy Policies often refer to all Advisory Clients. However, our processes and practices seek to ensure that proxy voting decisions are suitable for individual Advisory Clients. In some cases, the Investment Managers' evaluation may result in an individual Advisory Client or Investment Manager voting differently, depending upon the nature and objective of the fund or account, the composition of its portfolio, whether the Investment Manager has adopted a specialty or custom voting policy, and other factors.

**Conflicts of Interest**

All conflicts of interest will be resolved in the best interests of the Advisory Clients. The Investment Managers are affiliates of a large, diverse financial services firm with many affiliates and make their best efforts to mitigate conflicts of interest. However, as a general matter, the Investment Managers take the position that relationships between certain affiliates that do not use the "Franklin Templeton" name ("Independent Affiliates") and an issuer (e.g., an investment management relationship between an issuer and an Independent Affiliate) do not present a conflict of interest for an Investment Manager in voting proxies with respect to such issuer because: (i) the Investment Managers operate as an independent business unit from the Independent Affiliate business units, and (ii) informational barriers exist between the Investment Managers and the Independent Affiliate business units.

Material conflicts of interest could arise in a variety of situations, including as a result of the Investment Managers' or an affiliate's (other than an Independent Affiliate as described above): (i) material business relationship with an issuer or proponent, (ii) direct or indirect pecuniary interest in an issuer or proponent; or (iii) significant personal or family relationship with an issuer or proponent.

Material conflicts of interest are identified by the Proxy Group based upon analyses of client, distributor, broker dealer, and vendor lists, information periodically gathered from directors and officers, and information derived from other sources, including public filings. The Proxy Group gathers and analyzes this information on a best-efforts basis, as much of this information is provided directly by individuals and groups other than the Proxy Group, and the Proxy Group relies on the accuracy of the information it receives from such parties.

Nonetheless, even though a potential conflict of interest between the Investment Managers or an affiliate (other than an Independent Affiliate as described above) and an issuer may exist: (1) the Investment Managers may vote in opposition to the recommendations of an issuer's management even if contrary to the recommendations of a third-party proxy voting research provider; (2) if management has made no recommendations, the Proxy Group may defer to the voting instructions of the Investment Managers; and (3) with respect to shares held by Franklin Resources, Inc. or its affiliates for their own corporate accounts, such shares may be voted without regard to these conflict procedures.

Otherwise, in situations where a material conflict of interest is identified between the Investment Managers or one of its affiliates (other than Independent Affiliates) and an issuer, the Proxy Group may vote consistent with the voting recommendation of a Proxy Service or send the proxy directly to the relevant Advisory Clients with the Investment Managers' recommendation regarding the vote for approval. To address certain affiliate conflict situations, the Investment Managers will employ pass-through voting or mirror voting when required pursuant to a fund's governing documents or applicable law.

Where the Proxy Group refers a matter to an Advisory Client, it may rely upon the instructions of a representative of the Advisory Client, such as the board of directors or trustees, a committee of the board, or an appointed delegate in the case of a U.S. registered investment company, a conducting officer in the case of a fund that has appointed FTIS S.à.r.l as its Management Company, the Independent Review Committee for Canadian investment funds, or a plan administrator in the case of an employee benefit plan. A quorum of the board of directors or trustees or of a committee of the board can be reached by a majority of members, or a majority of non-recused members. The Proxy Group may determine to vote all shares held by Advisory Clients of the Investment Managers and affiliated Investment Managers (other than Independent Affiliates) in accordance with the instructions of one or more of the Advisory Clients.

The Investment Managers may also decide whether to vote proxies for securities deemed to present conflicts of interest that are sold following a record date, but before a shareholder meeting date. The Investment Managers may consider various factors in deciding whether to vote such proxies, including the Investment Managers' long-term view of the issuer's securities for investment, or it may defer the decision to vote to the applicable Advisory Client. The Investment Managers also may be unable to vote, or choose not to vote, a proxy for securities deemed to present a conflict of interest for any of the reasons outlined in the first paragraph of the section of these policies entitled "Proxy Procedures."

**Weight Given Management Recommendations**

One of the primary factors the Investment Managers consider when determining the desirability of investing in a particular company is the quality and depth of that company's management. Accordingly, the recommendation of management on any issue is a factor that the Investment Managers consider in determining how proxies should be voted. However, the Investment Managers do not consider recommendations from management to be determinative of the Investment Managers' ultimate decision. Each issue is considered on its own merits, and the Investment Managers will not support the position of a company's management in any situation where it determines that the ratification of management's position would adversely affect the investment merits of owning that company's shares.

**Engagement with Issuers**

The Investment Managers believe that engagement with issuers is important to good corporate governance and to assist in making proxy voting decisions. The Investment Managers may engage with issuers to discuss specific ballot items to be voted on in advance of an annual or special meeting to obtain further information or clarification on the proposals. The Investment Managers may also engage with management on a range of issues throughout the year.

**THE PROXY GROUP**

The Proxy Group's 'full-time staff members and support staff are devoted to proxy voting administration and oversight and providing support and assistance where needed. On a daily basis, the Proxy Group will review each proxy upon receipt as well as any agendas, materials and recommendations that they receive from a Proxy Service or other sources. The Proxy Group maintains a record of all shareholder meetings that are scheduled for companies whose securities are held by the Investment Managers' managed funds and accounts. For each shareholder meeting, a member of the Proxy Group will consult with the research analyst that follows the security and provide the analyst with the agenda, analyses of one or more Proxy Services, recommendations and any other information provided to the Proxy Group. Except in situations identified as presenting material conflicts of interest, the Investment Managers' research analyst and relevant portfolio manager(s) are responsible for making the final voting decision based on their review of the agenda, analyses of one or more Proxy Services, proxy statements, their knowledge of the company and any other information publicly available.

In situations where the Investment Managers have not responded with vote recommendations to the Proxy Group by the deadline date, the Proxy Group may vote consistent with the vote recommendations of a Proxy Service. Except in cases where the Proxy Group is voting consistent with the voting recommendation of a Proxy Service, the Proxy Group must obtain voting instructions from the Investment Managers' research analysts, relevant portfolio manager(s), legal counsel and/or the Advisory Client prior to submitting the vote. In the event that an account holds a security that an Investment Manager did not purchase on its behalf, and the Investment Manager does not normally consider the security as a potential investment for other accounts, the Proxy Group may vote consistent with the voting recommendations of a Proxy Service or take no action on the meeting.

**PROXY ADMINISTRATION PROCEDURES**

**Situations Where Proxies Are Not Voted**

The Proxy Group is fully cognizant of its responsibility to process proxies and maintain proxy records as may be required by relevant rules and regulations. In addition, the Investment Managers understand their fiduciary duty to vote proxies and that proxy voting decisions may affect the value of shareholdings. Therefore, the Investment Managers will generally attempt to process every proxy they receive for all domestic and foreign securities.

However, there may be situations in which the Investment Managers may be unable to successfully vote a proxy, or may choose not to vote a proxy, such as where: (i) a proxy ballot was not received from the custodian bank; (ii) a meeting notice was received too late; (iii) there are fees imposed upon the exercise of a vote and it is determined that such fees outweigh the benefit of voting; (iv) there are legal encumbrances to voting, including blocking restrictions in certain markets that preclude the ability to dispose of a security if an Investment Manager votes a proxy or where the Investment Manager is prohibited from voting by applicable law, economic or other sanctions, or other regulatory or market requirements, including but not limited to, effective Powers of Attorney;

(v) additional documentation or the disclosure of beneficial owner details is required; (vi) the Investment Managers held shares on the record date but has sold them prior to the meeting date; (vii) the Advisory Client held shares on the record date, but the Advisory Client closed the account prior to the meeting date; (viii) a proxy voting service is not offered by the custodian in the market; (ix) due to either system error or human error, the Investment Managers' intended vote is not correctly submitted; (x) the Investment Managers believe it is not in the best interest of the Advisory Client to vote the proxy for any other reason not enumerated herein; or

(xi) a security is subject to a securities lending or similar program that has transferred legal title to the security to another person.

**Rejected Votes**

Even if the Investment Managers use reasonable efforts to vote a proxy on behalf of their Advisory Clients, such vote or proxy may be rejected because of (a) operational or procedural issues experienced by one or more third parties involved in voting proxies in such jurisdictions; (b) changes in the process or agenda for the meeting by the issuer for which the Investment Managers do not have sufficient notice; or (c) the exercise by the issuer of its discretion to reject the vote of the Investment Managers. In addition, despite the best efforts of the Proxy Group and its agents, there may be situations where the Investment Managers' votes are not received, or properly tabulated, by an issuer or the issuer's agent.

**Securities on Loan**

The Investment Managers or their affiliates may, on behalf of one or more of the proprietary registered investment companies advised by the Investment Managers or their affiliates, make efforts to recall any security on loan where the Investment Manager or its affiliates (a) learn of a vote on an event that may materially affect a security on loan and (b) determine that it is in the best interests of such proprietary registered investment companies to recall the security for voting purposes. The ability to timely recall shares is not entirely within the control of the Investment Managers. Under certain circumstances, the recall of shares in time for such shares to be voted may not be possible due to applicable proxy voting record dates or other administrative considerations.

**Split Voting**

There may be instances in certain non-U.S. markets where split voting is not allowed. Split voting occurs when a position held within an account is voted in accordance with two differing instructions. Some markets and/or issuers only allow voting on an entire position and do not accept split voting. In certain cases, when more than one Franklin Templeton investment manager has accounts holding shares of an issuer that are held in an omnibus structure, the Proxy Group will seek direction from an appropriate representative of the Advisory Client with multiple Investment Managers (such as a conducting officer of the Management Company in the case of a SICAV), or the Proxy Group will submit the vote based on the voting instructions provided by the Investment Manager with accounts holding the greatest number of shares of the security within the omnibus structure.

**Bundled Items**

If several issues are bundled together in a single voting item, the Investment Managers will assess the total benefit to shareholders and the extent that such issues should be subject to separate voting proposals.

**PROCEDURES FOR MEETINGS INVOLVING FIXED INCOME SECURITIES & PRIVATELY HELD ISSUERS**

From time to time, certain custodians may process events for fixed income securities through their proxy voting channels rather than corporate action channels for administrative convenience. In such cases, the Proxy Group will receive ballots for such events on the ISS voting platform. The Proxy Group will solicit voting instructions from the Investment Managers for each account or fund involved. If the Proxy Group does not receive voting instructions from the Investment Managers, the Proxy Group will take no action on the event. The Investment Managers may be unable to vote a proxy for a fixed income security, or may choose not to vote a proxy, for the reasons described under the section entitled "Proxy Procedures."

In the rare instance where there is a vote for a privately held issuer, the decision will generally be made by the relevant portfolio managers or research analysts.

The Proxy Group will monitor such meetings involving fixed income securities or privately held issuers for conflicts of interest in accordance with these procedures. If a fixed income or privately held issuer is flagged as a potential conflict of interest, the Investment Managers may nonetheless vote as it deems in the best interests of its Advisory Clients. The Investment Managers will report such decisions on an annual basis to Advisory Clients as may be required.

**Appendix A**

These Proxy Policies apply to accounts managed by personnel within Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions, which includes the following Investment Managers:

Franklin Advisers, Inc. (FAV)

Franklin Advisory Services, LLC (FASL)

Franklin Mutual Advisers LLC (FMA)

Franklin Templeton Investments Corp. (FTIC)

Franklin Templeton Investment Management Limited (FTIML)

Templeton Asset Management Ltd. (TAML)

The following Proxy Policies apply to FAV, FMA, FTIC, FTIML, and TAML only:

**HOW THE INVESTMENT MANAGERS VOTE PROXIES**

**Proxy Services**

Certain of the Investment Managers' separate accounts or funds (or a portion thereof) are included under Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions ("FTIS"), a separate investment group within Franklin Templeton, and employ a quantitative strategy.

For such accounts, FTIS's proprietary methodologies rely on a combination of quantitative, qualitative, and behavioral analysis rather than fundamental security research and analyst coverage that an actively managed portfolio would ordinarily employ.

Accordingly, absent client direction, in light of the high number of positions held by such accounts and the considerable time and effort that would be required to review proxy statements and ISS or Glass Lewis recommendations, the Investment Manager may review ISS's guidelines'' or Glass Lewis's US guidelines (the "ISS and Glass Lewis Proxy Voting Guidelines") and determine, consistent with the best interest of its clients, to provide standing instructions to the Proxy Group to vote proxies according to the recommendations of ISS or Glass Lewis.

In addition, the Investment Managers may request in-house voting research from Franklin Templeton's Stewardship Team (FT Stewardship). FT Stewardship provides customized research on specific corporate governance issues that is tailored to the investment manager and corporate engagement undertaken. This research may include opinions on voting decisions; however, there is no obligation or inference for the investment manager to formally vote in line with these opinions. This research supports the independent vote decision making process, and may reduce reliance on third-party advice for certain votes.

The Investment Manager, however, retains the ability to vote a proxy differently than ISS or Glass Lewis recommends if the Investment Manager determines that it would be in the best interests of Advisory Clients.

The following Proxy Policies apply to FASL only:

**HOW THE INVESTMENT MANAGERS VOTE PROXIES**

Proxy Services

Passively managed exchange traded funds (collectively, "ETFs"), seek to track a particular securities index. As a result, each ETF may hold the securities of hundreds of issuers. Because the primary criteria for determining whether a security should be included (or continued to be included) in an ETF's investment portfolio is whether such security is a representative component of the securities index that the ETF is seeking to track, the ETFs do not require the fundamental security research and analyst coverage that an actively managed portfolio would require. Accordingly, in light of the high number of positions held by an ETF and the considerable time and effort that would be required to review proxy statements and ISS or Glass Lewis recommendations, the Investment Manager may review ISS's guidelines'' or Glass Lewis's US guidelines (the "ISS and Glass Lewis Proxy Voting Guidelines") and determine, consistent with the best interest of its clients, to provide standing instructions to the Proxy Group to vote. proxies according to the recommendations of ISS or Glass Lewis rather than analyze each individual proxy vote. Permitting the Investment Manager of the ETFs to defer its judgment for voting on a proxy to the recommendations of ISS or Glass Lewis may result in a proxy related to the securities of a particular issuer held by an ETF being voted differently from the same proxy that is voted on by other funds managed by the Investment Managers.

In addition, the investment managers may request in-house voting research from Franklin Templeton's Stewardship Team (FT Stewardship). FT Stewardship provides customized research on specific corporate governance issues that is tailored to the investment manager and corporate engagement undertaken. This research may include opinions on voting decisions; however, there is no obligation or inference for the investment manager to formally vote in line with these opinions. This research supports the independent vote decision making process, and may reduce reliance on third-party advice for certain votes.

For accounts managed by the Templeton Global Equity Group ("TGEG"), in making voting decisions, the Investment Manager may consider Glass Lewis's Proxy Voting Guidelines, ISS's Policies' and TGEG's custom sustainability guidelines, where appropriate.

The following Proxy Policies apply to FTIC only:

**RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INVESTMENT MANAGERS TO VOTE PROXIES**

To the extent that the Investment Manager has a subadvisory agreement with an affiliated investment manager (the "Affiliated Subadviser") with respect to a particular Advisory Client or the Investment Manager chooses securities for an Advisory Client's portfolios that are recommended by an Affiliated Subadviser, the Investment Manager may delegate proxy voting responsibility to the Affiliated Subadviser or vote proxies in accordance with the Affiliated Subadviser's recommendations.

**(a)(3): Portfolio Manager Compensation (As of March 31, 2026):**

**Conflicts**

The management of multiple funds, including the Fund, and accounts may also give rise to potential conflicts of interest if the funds and other accounts have different objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees as the portfolio manager must allocate his or her time and investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts. The investment manager seeks to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of portfolio managers by having portfolio managers focus on a particular investment discipline. Most other accounts managed by a portfolio manager are managed using the same investment strategies that are used in connection with the management of the Fund. Accordingly, portfolio holdings, position sizes, and industry and sector exposures tend to be similar across similar portfolios, which may minimize the potential for conflicts of interest. As noted above, the separate management of the trade execution and valuation functions from the portfolio management process also helps to reduce potential conflicts of interest. However, securities selected for funds or accounts other than the Fund may outperform the securities selected for the Fund. Moreover, if a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity that may be suitable for more than one fund or other account, the Fund may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of that opportunity across all eligible funds and other accounts. The investment manager seeks to manage such potential conflicts by using procedures intended to provide a fair allocation of buy and sell opportunities among funds and other accounts.

The structure of a portfolio manager's compensation may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. A portfolio manager's base pay and bonus tend to increase with additional and more complex responsibilities that include increased assets under management. As such, there may be a relationship between a portfolio manager's marketing or sales efforts and his or her bonus.

Finally, the management of personal accounts by a portfolio manager may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. While the funds and the investment manager have adopted a code of ethics which they believe contains provisions designed to prevent a wide range of prohibited activities by portfolio managers and others with respect to their personal trading activities, there can be no assurance that the code of ethics addresses all individual conduct that could result in conflicts of interest.

The investment manager and the Fund have adopted certain compliance procedures that are designed to address these, and other, types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation where a conflict arises.

**Portfolio Manager Compensation FAV**

Investment personnel compensation consists of the following three elements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Base salary: All investment personnel are paid a base salary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Annual bonus: Annual bonuses are structured to align the interests of the investment personnel with those of our clients. Investment personnel are eligible to receive an annual bonus. Bonuses generally are split between cash, restricted shares of Franklin Resources, Inc. stock, and / or mutual fund units. The deferred equity-based compensation is structured to create a vested interest of the investment personnel in the financial performance of both Franklin Resources, Inc. and the mutual funds they advise, if applicable. The bonus plan seeks to provide a competitive level of annual bonus compensation, commensurate with the investment personnel's consistently strong investment performance. In accordance with Franklin Templeton guidelines, the Chief Investment Officer and/or other officers of the investment personnel who also bear responsibility for the account, have discretion in the granting of annual bonuses. The following factors are generally considered when determining bonuses:

o Investment performance. Primary consideration is given to historical investment performance over the one, three, and five preceding years of all accounts managed by the investment personnel, if applicable. The pre-tax performance of each fund managed is measured relative to a relevant peer group and/or applicable benchmark, as appropriate.

o Non-investment performance. The more qualitative contributions of an investment professional to the company's business and the investment management team, including professional knowledge, productivity, responsiveness to client needs, and communication, are evaluated in determining the amount of any bonus award.

o Responsibilities. The characteristics and complexity of accounts managed by the investment personnel are factored in the manager's appraisal.

o Research. Where the portfolio management team also has research responsibilities, each is evaluated on productivity and quality of recommendations over time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Additional long-term, equity-based compensation: Investment personnel may also be awarded restricted shares or units of Franklin Resources stock or restricted shares or units of one or more mutual funds. Vesting of such deferred equity-based compensation awards is time-based over three years.

Additionally, in some instances as applicable to specific fund types and asset classes, we offer investment professionals (employees that can affect investment performance) the opportunity to share in the carried interest/ performance fee revenues earned by the firm in the form of carried interest or performance fee sharing plans/agreements.

Investment personnel also participate in benefit plans and programs available generally to all employees of the investment manager.

**FRANKLIN TEMPLETON AFFILIATED FUNDS**

**CODE OF ETHICS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVES AND**

**SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I. Covered Officers
 and Purpose of the Code

This code of ethics (the "Code") applies to the Principal Executive Officers, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer (the "Covered Officers") of each investment company advised by a Franklin Resources subsidiary and that is registered with the United States Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC") (collectively, "FT Funds") for the purpose of promoting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Honest
 and ethical conduct, including the ethical resolution of actual or apparent conflicts of
 interest between personal and professional relationships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Full,
 fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant
 files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by or on behalf
 of the FT Funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Compliance
 with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The
 prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified
 in the Code; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Accountability
 for adherence to the Code.

Each Covered Officer will be expected to adhere to a high standard of business ethics and must be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

*\** Rule 38a-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") and Rule 206(4)-7 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("Advisers Act") (together the "Compliance Rule") require registered investment companies and registered investment advisers to, among other things, adopt and implement written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws ("Compliance Rule Policies and Procedures").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;II. Other Policies
 and Procedures

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder.

Franklin Resources, Inc. has separately adopted the <u>Code of Ethics and Business Conduct</u> ("Business Conduct"), which is applicable to all officers, directors and employees of Franklin Resources, Inc., including Covered Officers. It summarizes the values, principles and business practices that guide the employee's business conduct and also provides a set of basic principles to guide officers, directors and employees regarding the minimum ethical requirements expected of them. It supplements the values, principles and business conduct identified in the Code and other existing employee policies.

Additionally, the Franklin Templeton Funds have separately adopted the <u>FTI Personal Investments and Insider Trading Policy</u> governing personal securities trading and other related matters. The Code for Insider Trading provides for separate requirements that apply to the Covered Officers and others, and therefore is not part of this Code.

Insofar as other policies or procedures of Franklin Resources, Inc., the Funds, the Funds' adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. Please review these other documents or consult with the Legal Department if have questions regarding the applicability of these policies to you.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;III. Covered
 Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

**Overview.** A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's private interest interferes with the interests of, or his or her service to, the FT Funds. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of a position with the FT Funds.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the FT Funds and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Investment Company Act") and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("Investment Advisers Act"). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the FT Funds because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the FT Funds. The FT Funds' and the investment advisers' compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the FT Funds, the investment advisers and the fund administrator of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the FT Funds, for the adviser, the administrator, or for all three), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the

adviser, administrator and the FT Funds. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the FT Funds, the adviser, and the administrator and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the FT Funds. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the FT Funds' Boards of Directors ("Boards") that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the FT Funds.

Each Covered Officer must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Not
 use his or her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment
 decisions or financial reporting by the FT Funds whereby the Covered Officer would benefit
 personally to the detriment of the FT Funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Not
 cause the FT Funds to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit
 of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the FT Funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Not
 retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the FT Funds or their affiliated
 persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Report
 at least annually the following affiliations or other relationships:<sup>1</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all
 directorships for public companies and all companies that are required to file reports with
 the SEC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any
 direct or indirect business relationship with any independent directors of the FT Funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any
 direct or indirect business relationship with any independent public accounting firm (which
 are not related to the routine issues related to the firm's service as the Covered
 Persons accountant); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any
 direct or indirect interest in any transaction with any FT Fund that will benefit the officer
 (not including benefits derived from the advisory, sub-advisory, distribution or service
 agreements with affiliates of Franklin Resources).

These reports will be reviewed by the Legal Department for compliance with the Code.

There are some conflict of interest situations that should always be approved in writing by Franklin Resources General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel, if material. Examples of these include<sup>2</sup>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Service
 as a director on the board of any public or private Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The
 receipt of any gifts in excess of $100 from any person, from any corporation or association.

<sup>1</sup> Reporting of these affiliations or other relationships shall be made by completing the annual Directors and Officers Questionnaire and returning the questionnaire to Franklin Resources Inc, General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel.

<sup>2</sup> Any activity or relationship that would present a conflict for a Covered Officer may also present a conflict for the Covered Officer if a member of the Covered Officer's immediate family engages in such an activity or has such a relationship. The Covered Person should also obtain written approval by FT's General Counsel in such situations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The
 receipt of any entertainment from any Company with which the FT Funds has current or prospective
 business dealings unless such entertainment is business related, reasonable in cost, appropriate
 as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety. Notwithstanding
 the foregoing, the Covered Officers must obtain prior approval from the Franklin Resources
 General Counsel for any entertainment with a value in excess of $1000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Any
 ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the FT Fund's
 service providers, other than an investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator
 or any affiliated person thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A
 direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid
 by the FT Funds for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other
 than an interest arising from the Covered Officer's employment, such as compensation
 or equity ownership.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Franklin
 Resources General Counsel or Deputy General Counsel, or the Chief Compliance Officer, will
 provide a report to the FT Funds Audit Committee of any approvals granted at the next regularly
 scheduled meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;IV. Disclosure
 and Compliance

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Each
 Covered Officer should familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable
 to the FT Funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Each
 Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts
 about the FT Funds to others, whether within or outside the FT Funds, including to the FT
 Funds' directors and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory
 organizations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Each
 Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility,
 consult with other officers and employees of the FT Funds, the FT Fund's adviser and
 the administrator with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable
 disclosure in the reports and documents the FT Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and
 in other public communications made by the FT Funds; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• It
 is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and
 restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;V. Reporting
 and Accountability

Each Covered Officer must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Upon
 becoming a covered officer affirm in writing to the Board that he or she has received, read,
 and understands the Code (see Exhibit A);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Annually
 thereafter affirm to the Board that he has complied with the requirements of the Code; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Notify

Item 2 of Form N-CSR requires a registered management investment company to disclose annually whether, as of the end of the period covered by the report, it has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these officers are employed by the registrant or a third party. If the registrant has not adopted such a code of ethics, it must explain why it has not done so.

The registrant must also: (1) file with the SEC a copy of the code as an exhibit to its annual report; (2) post the text of the code on its Internet website and disclose, in its most recent report on Form N-CSR, its Internet address and the fact that it has posted the code on its Internet website; or (3) undertake in its most recent report on Form N-CSR to provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of the code and explain the manner in which such request may be made. Disclosure is also required of amendments to, or waivers (including implicit waivers) from, a provision of the code in the registrant's annual report on Form N-CSR or on its website. If the registrant intends to satisfy the requirement to disclose amendments and waivers by posting such information on its website, it will be required to disclose its Internet address and this intention.

The Legal Department shall be responsible for ensuring that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a
 copy of the Code is filed with the SEC as an exhibit to each Fund's annual report;
 and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any
 amendments to, or waivers (including implicit waivers) from, a provision of the Code is disclosed
 in the registrant's annual report on Form N-CSR.

In the event that the foregoing disclosure is omitted or is determined to be incorrect, the Legal Department shall promptly file such information with the SEC as an amendment to Form N-CSR.

In such an event, the Fund Chief Compliance Officer shall review the Code and propose such changes to the Code as are necessary or appropriate to prevent reoccurrences.
