Upcoming reorganization into an ETF
This fund is scheduled to be reorganized with and into Franklin Pennsylvania Municipal Income ETF, an ETF in the newly-organized series of Putnam ETF Trust. This reorganization will occur on or around November 7, 2025. The investment goal, principal investment strategy, investment adviser and portfolio management team for the new ETF is expected to be the same as that of this mutual fund. Mutual fund shareholders are not required to approve and will not be asked to vote on this reorganization, but mutual fund shareholders will receive a prospectus/information statement describing in detail both the reorganization and the ETF sometime in August 2025. Refer to the prospectus for more information. Dates are subject to change. ETFs trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETFs net asset value. Brokerage commissions and expenses will reduce returns. There is no guarantee that any strategy will achieve its objective.

Performance
Calendar Year Returns
As of 09/30/2025
Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, and investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods. Total returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions and the deduction of all Fund expenses. Returns with sales charge reflect a deduction of the stated maximum sales charge. Returns without sales charge would have been lower had sales charges been reflected. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.
The fund began offering Class Y shares on 1/2/2008. Returns for periods prior to 1/2/2008 are based on the fund's Class A performance, which has not been adjusted for the lower operating expenses; had it been adjusted, performance would be higher. For periods after the share class offering, performance for the specific share class is used, reflecting the applicable expenses and maximum sales charges.

Risks
All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Fixed income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks, and possible loss of principal. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls. Portfolios focused on a single state are subject to greater risk of adverse economic and regulatory changes than a geographically diversified portfolio. Active management does not ensure gains or protect against market declines. An investor may be subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax, and state and local taxes may apply. These and other risks are discussed in the fund's prospectus.
Important Information
Most funds offer multiple share classes. Share classes are subject to different fees and expenses, which will affect their performance.
Certain share classes are only offered to eligible investors as stated in the prospectus. Different minimums may apply to clients of certain service agents. All classes of shares are not available through all distribution channels. See the Fund's prospectus for additional information.
