Share Repurchases seek to enhance shareholder value by purchasing the Fund’s common stock when trading at a discount to the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share. All repurchased shares are canceled and the difference between the purchase price and NAV results in incremental accretion to the Fund’s NAV for all shareholders.

The Funds’ Board of Directors has authorized the Funds to repurchase shares of common stock when Fund shares are trading at a discount to net asset value and management reasonably believes the share repurchases will enhance stockholder value. The Funds are under no obligation to purchase shares at any specific discount levels or in any specific amounts. Each Fund's repurchase activity will also be disclosed in its stockholder report for the relevant fiscal period.

Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC, each Fund’s investment manager, is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. (“Franklin Resources”). ClearBridge MLP and Midstream Fund Inc., ClearBridge Energy Midstream Opportunity Fund Inc. and ClearBridge MLP and Midstream Total Return Fund Inc. are subadvised by ClearBridge Investments, LLC (“ClearBridge”). Western Asset Emerging Markets Debt Fund Inc. is subadvised by Western Asset Management Company, LLC (“Western Asset”). ClearBridge and Western Asset are Franklin Templeton affiliated companies.
