I. | INTRODUCTION |
A. Summary of Application
On June 22, 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) issued an order under Sections 17(d) and 57(i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act),1 and Rule 17d-1 thereunder, permitting certain joint transactions otherwise prohibited by Sections 17(d) and 57(a)(4) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17d-1 thereunder, as described more fully therein (the Prior Order).2 The Prior Order permits certain business development companies and closed-end management investment companies to co-invest in portfolio companies with each other and with affiliated investment entities.
The Applicants (defined below) hereby seek an amended order (the Amended Order) from the Commission under Sections 17(d) and 57(i) of the 1940 Act, and Rule 17d-1 thereunder to amend the term Follow-On Investment to mean (i) with respect to a Regulated Fund, an additional investment in the same issuer in which the Regulated Fund is currently invested; or (ii) with respect to an Affiliated Fund, (X) an additional investment in the same issuer in which the Affiliated Fund and at least one Regulated Fund are currently invested; or (Y) an investment in an issuer in which at least one Regulated Fund is currently invested but in which the Affiliated Fund does not currently have an investment.
B. Applicants
The following Applicant qualifies as a Regulated Fund under the Prior Order:

FTFA (defined below) serves as investment manager to the Franklin Lexington Fund. Lexington Advisors (defined below) and FAV (defined below) serve as sub-advisers to the Franklin Lexington Fund. |
The following Applicants each qualify as an Adviser under the Prior Order:
| Franklin Advisers, Inc. (FAV), is a California corporation registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the Advisers Act), and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc.

Each Existing Affiliated Fund qualifies as an Affiliated Fund under the Prior Order.
All Applicants are eligible to rely on the Prior Order.3
C. Defined Terms
Except as stated herein, defined terms used in this application (the Application) have the same meanings provided in the application for the Prior Order, as amended and restated (the Prior Application).4
Follow-On Investment means (i) with respect to a Regulated Fund, an additional investment in the same issuer in which the Regulated Fund is currently invested; or (ii) with respect to an Affiliated Fund, (X) an additional investment in the same issuer in which the Affiliated Fund and at least one Regulated Fund are currently invested; or (Y) an investment in an issuer in which at least one Regulated Fund is currently invested but in which the Affiliated Fund does not currently have an investment. An investment in an issuer includes, but is not limited to, the exercise of warrants, conversion privileges or other rights to purchase securities of the issuer.
II. APPLICANTS PROPOSAL
The Amended Order, if granted, would expand the relief provided in the Prior Order to permit Affiliated Funds to participate in Follow-On Investments in issuers in which at least one Regulated Fund is invested, but such Affiliated Funds are not invested. This relief would not permit Follow-On Investments by Regulated Funds that are not invested in the issuer. The requested relief is based on the temporary relief granted by the Commission on April 8, 2020.5
