HOW HAS THE FUND CHANGED?
On May 31, 2023, Franklin Resources, Inc. (“Franklin Resources”) and Great-West Lifeco Inc., the parent company of Putnam U.S. Holdings I, LLC (“Putnam Holdings”), announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement for a subsidiary of Franklin Resources to acquire Putnam Holdings in a stock and cash transaction (the “Transaction”). The Transaction was completed on January 1, 2024. As part of the Transaction, your Fund’s then-current investment advisor, Putnam Investment Management, LLC (“Putnam Management”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam Holdings, and your Fund’s sub-advisor, Putnam Investments Limited (“PIL”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam Holdings, became indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Franklin Resources. In connection with the Transaction, shareholders of your Fund approved a new management contract with Putnam Management and a new sub-advisory contract with PIL. The new contracts are identical to the previous contracts, except for the effective dates, initial terms, updates to fund names as necessary to reflect previous name changes, and certain non-substantive changes.
Effective July 15, 2024, Putnam Management transferred its management contract for your Fund to Franklin Advisers, Inc. (“Franklin Advisers”), and Franklin Advisers replaced Putnam Management as the investment advisor to your Fund. In connection with the transfer, your Fund’s portfolio managers, along with supporting research analysts and certain other investment staff of Putnam Management, also became employees of Franklin Advisers. Putnam Management also transferred to Franklin Advisers its sub-management agreement with PIL in respect of your Fund. Franklin Advisers is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources. In addition, effective July 15, 2024, Franklin Advisers retained Putnam Management as a sub-advisor to your Fund pursuant to a new subadvisory agreement.
