Franklin California Ultra-Short Tax-Free Income Fund

Important Legal Information

• For investors subject to the alternative minimum tax, a small portion of fund dividends may be taxable. Distributions of capital gains are generally taxable. To avoid the imposition of 28% backup withholding on all fund distributions and redemption proceeds, U.S. investors must be properly certified on Form W-9 and non-U.S. investors on Form W-8BEN.
• Most Franklin Templeton funds offer multiple share classes. Share classes are subject to different fees and expenses, which will affect their performance. In general, Class A/A1 have a maximum initial sales charge; Class C/C1 shares have a 1% contingent deferred sales charge; Class Z, Advisor Class and Class R6 shares have no sales charges nor Rule 12b-1 fees; Class R shares have no sales charges, but do have a Rule 12b-1 fee.
• 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.
• All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Because municipal bonds are sensitive to interest rate movements, the fund's yield and share price will fluctuate with market conditions. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as prices of bonds in the fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the fund's share price may decline. Because the fund invests principally in a single state, it is subject to greater risk of adverse economic and regulatory changes in that state than a geographically diversified fund. Changes in the credit rating of a bond, or in the credit rating or financial strength of a bond's issuer, insurer or guarantor, may affect the bond's value. The fund may invest a significant part of its assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of projects, such as utilities, hospitals, higher education and transportation. A change that affects one project would likely affect all similar projects, thereby increasing market risk.
• For more information on any of our funds, contact your financial advisor or download a prospectus. Investors should carefully consider a fund's investment goals, risks, sales charges and expenses before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing or sending money.
• Performance data represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Current performance may differ from figures shown. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate with market conditions, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares.

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. The fund's 30-day standardized yield is calculated over a trailing 30-day period using the yield to maturity on bonds and/or the dividends accrued on stocks. It may not equal the fund's actual income distribution rate, which reflects the fund's past dividends paid to shareholders.
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.
7. On 3/18/2016 the fund, having no assets of its own acquired all of the assets and liabilities of Franklin California Tax-Exempt Money Fund ("the CA Money Fund") through a reorganization and as a result has adopted the CA Money Fund's historical performance record. For periods after the date of reorganization, actual Class A1 and Advisor Class performance is reported, reflecting all charges and fees applicable to each share class. Given the significant differences between a money fund (CA Money Fund) and this fund (a non-money fund), including with the investment objective and strategies as well as the fee/expense structure, performance prior to 3/18/2016 may not be representative of this fund's future performance.
8. The Gross Expense Ratio does not include an expense reduction contractually guaranteed through 10/31/19. Fund investment results reflect the fee reduction; without this reduction, the results would have been lower. Please see the prospectus for additional information.
9. A measure of the fund's volatility relative to the market, as represented by the Barclays 1-Year CA Municipal Bond Index. 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.
10. Percentage of the fund's returns explained by movements in the Barclays 1-Year CA Municipal Bond Index. 100 equals perfect correlation to the index. Based on the 3-year period ended as of the date of the calculation.
11. Taxable Equivalent Yield: The Taxable Equivalent Yield assumes the maximum regular federal income tax rate, maximum state personal income tax rate, and the Medicare tax in effect on June 2017. This combined rate does not consider the impact of California's surcharge on taxable incomes in excess of $1 million. For investors subject to the alternative minimum tax, a small portion of fund dividends may be taxable. Distributions of capital gains may be taxable.
12. Indices are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in them. Index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges.

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, Franklin International Small Cap Growth Fund and Franklin Pelagos Commodities Strategy Fund, the inception date for Classes A, C, R and R6 shares is the funds' oldest class', Z or Advisor, inception date. Franklin U.S. Government Money Fund Class R6 inception date is the first day it commenced offering such shares.
