HOW HAS THE FUND CHANGED?
On May 31, 2023, Franklin Resources, Inc. (“Franklin Templeton”) 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 Templeton 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 then-current sub-advisor, Putnam Investments Limited (“PIL”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam Holdings, became indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Franklin Templeton. 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 were 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 Templeton. In addition, effective July 15, 2024, Franklin Advisers retained Putnam Management as a sub-advisor to your Fund pursuant to a new sub-advisory agreement.
Effective November 1, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), PIL, a sub-advisor of the Fund prior to the Effective Date, merged with and into Franklin Templeton Investment Management Limited (“FTIML”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Templeton (the “Merger”). As of the Effective Date, PIL investment professionals became employees of FTIML, and the sub-advisory agreement between Franklin Advisers and PIL with respect to the Fund was terminated. In connection with the Merger, the Fund’s Trustees approved a new sub-advisory agreement between Franklin Advisers and FTIML, pursuant to which FTIML became a sub-advisor of the Fund on the Effective Date.
Effective September 30, 2024, the portfolio managers for the Fund are Scott D’Orsi, Reema Agarwal, Margaret Chiu and Justin Ma.

HOW HAS THE FUND CHANGED?
On May 31, 2023, Franklin Resources, Inc. (“Franklin Templeton”) 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 Templeton 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 then-current sub-advisor, Putnam Investments Limited (“PIL”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam Holdings, became indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Franklin Templeton. 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 were 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 Templeton. In addition, effective July 15, 2024, Franklin Advisers retained Putnam Management as a sub-advisor to your Fund pursuant to a new sub-advisory agreement.
Effective November 1, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), PIL, a sub-advisor of the Fund prior to the Effective Date, merged with and into Franklin Templeton Investment Management Limited (“FTIML”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Templeton (the “Merger”). As of the Effective Date, PIL investment professionals became employees of FTIML, and the sub-advisory agreement between Franklin Advisers and PIL with respect to the Fund was terminated. In connection with the Merger, the Fund’s Trustees approved a new sub-advisory agreement between Franklin Advisers and FTIML, pursuant to which FTIML became a sub-advisor of the Fund on the Effective Date.
Effective September 30, 2024, the portfolio managers for the Fund are Scott D’Orsi, Reema Agarwal, Margaret Chiu and Justin Ma.
