Oct 30, 2026 at 8:00 AM EDT · Issued by Templeton Emerging Markets Income Fund via Business Wire

Summary by 6ix AI

Franklin Templeton published the 19(a) notice, an informational notice on the estimated sources of monthly distributions, for Templeton Emerging Markets Income Fund (New York Stock Exchange: TEI). The fund estimates its October 2026 distribution of $0.0540 per share comes 100.0% from net investment income.

Key details

For the fiscal year to date (fiscal year ending December 31), distributions total an estimated $0.5010 per share: $0.4614 (92.1%) net investment income, $0.0155 (3.1%) net realized short-term capital gains and $0.0241 (4.8%) return of capital.
The fund estimates it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains, so part of a distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money invested in the fund is paid back to investors.
At net asset value (NAV), as of September 30, 2026: 5-year average annual total return 7.73%, current distribution rate 9.43% and fiscal year-to-date total return 8.20%. Performance deducts management fees and administrative expenses, assumes reinvested distributions and does not account for taxes.
The fiscal year-to-date distribution rate at NAV, measured through the fund's most recent distribution record date, is 7.29%.

What’s still pending

The amounts and sources are estimates only and are not for tax reporting; actual amounts depend on the fund's investment experience for the rest of its fiscal year and may change based on tax regulations.
Shareholders will receive a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year showing how to report the distributions for federal income tax purposes.

You should not draw any conclusions about a Fund’s investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s Distribution Policy.

Each fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’.

The Funds periodically provide fund-related information on their websites. The following information will be available for each Fund at www.franklintempleton.com at the frequencies indicated: (1) Full holdings will be available monthly; (2) Top 10 holdings and additional portfolio statistics will be available monthly.
