Important Legal Information

• CFA® and Chartered Financial Analyst® are trademarks owned by CFA Institute.
• All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. The fund is intended for long-term investors who are comfortable with fluctuation in the value of their investment, especially over the short term. Smaller, relatively new and/or unseasoned companies can be particularly sensitive to changing economic conditions, and their prospects for growth are less certain than those of larger, more established companies. Foreign investing involves additional risks such as currency and market volatility, as well as political and social instability. Investments in emerging markets involve heightened risks relating to the same factors. These and other risks are described in the fund's prospectus.
• Indexes are unmanaged, and one cannot invest directly in an index. Index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges.
• Total Returns include change in share price, assume reinvestment of all distributions, and reflect the deduction of fund expenses and applicable fees. Total Returns With Sales Charge: returns reflect the deduction of the stated sales charge. Total returns, distribution rate, and yields reflect any applicable expense reductions, without which the results for those impacted funds would have been lower.
• Your clients should carefully consider a fund's investment goals, risks, charges and expenses before investing. Download a prospectus, which contains this and other information. Your clients should read the prospectus carefully before they invest or send money.
• Class R shares do not have sales charges and are only offered to certain eligible investors as stated in the prospectus.

Footnotes

1. A statistical measurement of the range of a fund's total returns. In general, a higher standard deviation means greater volatility. Based on the fund's monthly returns over the 3-year period ended as of the date of the calculation.
2. A statistical measurement of a fund's historical risk-adjusted performance. It is calculated by taking a fund's excess return over that of the three-month Treasury bill divided by its standard deviation. Higher values generally indicate better historical risk-adjusted performance. Based on the 3 years ended as of the date of the calculation.
3. The annualized percentage difference between a fund's actual returns and its expected performance given its level of market risk, as measured by beta. Based on the 3-year period ended as of the date of the calculation.
4. Prior to 5/15/08, the fund offered only a single class of shares, without a sales charge and Rule 12b-1 fees, Advisor Class shares. Performance figures reflect a restatement of the Advisor Class performance to include both the Rule 12b-1 fees and sales charges applicable to each share class as though in effect from the fund's inception. For periods after 5/15/08, actual performance is used, reflecting all charges and fees applicable to that class.
5. Public Offering Price — Purchase price for each share of the fund on a given day. It includes the maximum initial sales charge, if any.
6. Net Asset Value — The amount per share you would receive if you sold shares that day.

The vertical axis shows the market capitalization of the stocks owned and the horizontal axis shows investment style (value, blend, or growth). Placement is determined by fund portfolio holding figures most recently entered into Morningstar's database and corresponding market conditions. Shaded areas show the past 3 years of quarterly data. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
8. Source: Morningstar®. For each mutual fund and exchange traded fund with at least a 3-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on how a fund ranks on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure against other funds in the same category. This measure takes into account variations in a fund's monthly performance, and does not take into account the effects of sales charges and loads, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The weights are: 100% 3-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% 5-year rating/40% 3-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% 5-year rating/20% 3-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent 3-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Morningstar Rating is for the named share class only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. Past performance is not an indicator or a guarantee of future performance.

10. A measure of the fund's volatility relative to the market, as represented by the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index-NR. A beta greater than 1.00 indicates volatility greater than the market. Based on the 3-year period ended as of the date of the calculation.
11. Percentage of the fund's returns explained by movements in the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index. 100 equals perfect correlation to the index. Based on the 3-year period ended as of the date of the calculation.
12. Net Returns (NR) include income net of tax withholding when dividends are paid.
13. The Gross Expense Ratio does not include an expense reduction and fee waiver related to the fund's investment in a Franklin Templeton money fund and/or other Franklin Templeton fund, contractually guaranteed through 11/30/2022. Fund investment results reflect the fee reduction; without this reduction, the results would have been lower. Please see the prospectus for additional information.
14. Indices are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in them. Index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges.
15. For performance reporting purposes, the inception date for Classes A/A1, R, R6, Z, and Advisor Class shares of all Franklin Templeton Funds is the date of effectiveness of the fund's registration statement or the first day the fund commenced operations.

Exceptions: Templeton Global Balanced Fund Classes A and C use the inception date of the old Class A and C shares, renamed Class A1 and Class C1. For Franklin Mutual Series Funds and Franklin International Small Cap Growth Fund, the inception date for Classes A, C, R and R6 shares is the funds' oldest class', Z or Advisor, inception date.
