Templeton Emerging Markets Fund (NYSE: EMF) today announced a quarterly distribution from net investment income of $0.22 per share, payable on June 30, 2025, to shareholders of record on June 16, 2025 (Ex-Dividend Date: June 16, 2025).

The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has authorized a Managed Distribution Plan (the “Plan”), under which the Fund will make quarterly distributions to shareholders at a fixed rate of $0.22 per share. The Plan aims to provide shareholders with consistent quarterly distributions derived from ordinary income and short-term capital gains generated by the Fund’s investment portfolio. Additionally, the Plan seeks to narrow the discount between the market price and the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Fund’s common shares, although success in this regard cannot be guaranteed.

In the event that sufficient distributable income is not available on a quarterly basis, the Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital to maintain its managed distribution rate. A return of capital may occur when some or all of the invested capital is paid back to shareholders. It is important to note that a return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” Even if the Fund realizes capital gains in the current year, such gains may be offset, in whole or in part, by the Fund’s capital loss carryovers from prior years.

The Board may amend the terms of the Plan or terminate the Plan at any time without prior notice to the Fund’s shareholders. The amendment or termination of the Plan could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund’s common shares. The Plan will be subject to periodic review by the Board, including a yearly review of the fixed rate to determine if an adjustment should be made.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the current distribution or from the terms of the Plan. The amounts and sources of distributions reported herein are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send a Form 1099-DIV to shareholders for the calendar year that will describe how to report the Fund’s distributions for federal income tax purposes.
