Templeton Emerging Markets Fund (NYSE: EMF) has announced a quarterly distribution of $0.22 per share from net investment income, payable on September 30, 2025. The fund's board has authorized a managed distribution plan to provide consistent quarterly distributions derived from ordinary income and short-term capital gains. The plan aims to narrow the discount between the market price and net asset value (NAV) of the fund's common shares.

The managed distribution plan, effective from the current quarter, will distribute $0.22 per share to shareholders of record on September 18, 2025. If 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, and it is important to note that such distributions do not necessarily reflect the fund’s investment performance.

The fund's board may amend or terminate the managed distribution plan at any time without prior notice to shareholders. This could potentially 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 an annual review of the fixed rate to determine if any adjustments should be made.

Shareholders are advised not to draw any conclusions about the fund’s investment performance from the amount of the current distribution or from the terms of the plan. The actual amounts and sources of distributions for tax reporting purposes will depend on 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.
