On May 31, 2023, Franklin Resources and Great-West Lifeco agreed that a Franklin Resources subsidiary will acquire Putnam Holdings in a stock and cash deal. Putnam Investment Management, which manages the Putnam funds including this trust, would become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the deal would end the current management contract, so the fund's board and shareholders would need to approve a new one.
