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 />
