PROSPECTUS OF FRANKLIN <strong>TEMPLETON</strong> <strong>INVESTMENT</strong> <strong>FUNDS</strong><br />

Miscellaneous<br />

The fourth before last paragraph of Section “Valuation” of Appendix D—Determination of the Net Asset<br />

Value of Shares is amended so as to read as follows:<br />

The value of securities not quoted or dealt in on a stock exchange or an organised market and of<br />

securities which are so quoted or dealt in, but in respect of which no price quotation is available or the<br />

price quoted is not representative of the securities’ fair market value shall be determined by or under the<br />

direction of the Board of Directors. Short-dated debt transferable securities and money market<br />

instruments not traded on a regulated exchange are usually valued on an amortised cost basis.<br />

The paragraph on Class Z shares of Sub-section “Share Classes—Sales Charge Structure” of Section<br />

“Investment Management Fees and Sales Charge Structure” is amended so as to read as follows:<br />

Class Z Shares<br />

Class Z Shares may be offered in certain limited circumstances (i) for distribution in certain countries and<br />

through certain sub-distributors and/or dealers having separate fee arrangements with their clients, and/or<br />

(ii) to professional investors at the discretion of the Principal Distributor and/or the Transfer Agent. In these<br />

cases, any local supplement to this Prospectus or marketing material, including that used by the relevant<br />

intermediaries, will refer to the possibility and terms to subscribe for Class Z Shares.<br />

Class Z Shares will be offered at the applicable net asset value per Share next determined after the<br />

purchase order is received. Purchases of Class Z Shares are not subject to an initial sales charge, CDSC<br />

nor any maintenance, distribution or servicing charge.<br />

Further, the Section “Exchange of Shares” is amended to add that the exchange of Class A Shares into<br />

Class Z Shares is only permitted (i) to investors instructing through certain sub-distributors and/or dealers<br />

having separate fee arrangements with their clients, and/or (ii) to professional investors at the discretion<br />

of the Principal Distributor and/or the Transfer Agent.<br />

Benchmark<br />

The first paragraph of Section “Benchmark” of the Simplified prospectus is amended so as to read as<br />

follows:<br />

“The below list of indices and benchmarks is provided to Shareholders for information and indicative<br />

purposes only, as all the Company’s Funds are actively managed and tend to deviate from their respective<br />

index. This list will be updated from time to time by the Board of Directors without prior notice to the<br />

Shareholders, notably in order to provide an index that better reflects the investment objective and<br />

policies to the relevant Funds and the composition of their portfolio. Any such change will be mentioned<br />

on the internet site: www.franklintempleton.lu”.<br />

With effect as from June 30, 2010, the benchmark of the Company’s Fund “Templeton Global Smaller<br />

Companies Fund” will be changed from “S&P Global < 2B Index” to “MSCI ACWI Small Cap”.<br />

April 2010<br />
