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, Franklin Advisers, Inc. (“Franklin Advisers”) was retained as a sub-adviser by Putnam Management for the Fund pursuant to a new subadvisory agreement between Franklin Advisers and Putnam Management. Both Putnam Management and Franklin Advisers are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Franklin Resources. Putnam Management will continue to serve as the Fund’s investment advisor, and PIL will continue to serve as sub-advisor to the Fund.
Although the Fund is classified as a non-diversified fund, the Fund is currently operating as a diversified fund, and under current law, shareholder approval would be required for the Fund to resume operating as non-diversified.
