Item 1. Security and Issuer

This statement relates to Shares of Beneficial Interest, without par value (the "Shares"), of Templeton Global Income Fund, a Delaware Statutory Trust (the "Issuer"). The Issuer’s principal executive office is located at 300 S.E. 2^nd Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301-1923.

      Item 2.  Identity and Background

(a), (f)  This Schedule 13D is being filed by Charles B. Johnson (“C. Johnson”), Rupert H. Johnson, Jr. (“R. Johnson, Jr.”), and Franklin Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FRI,” and together with C. Johnson and R. Johnson, Jr., the “Reporting Persons”).  C. Johnson and R. Johnson, Jr. are the principal stockholders of FRI. R. Johnson, Jr. is also the Vice Chairman of FRI and serves on the Board of Directors of Franklin Advisers, Inc., a California corporation that is the investment manager of the Issuer and a wholly-owned subsidiary of FRI (“FAV”). C. Johnson is an Executive Consultant to FRI.  C. Johnson and R. Johnson, Jr. are citizens of the United States.

(b)   The address of the principal business office of each of the Reporting Persons is One Franklin Parkway, San Mateo, California 94403-1906.  The directors and principal executive officers of FRI and FAV, their present principal occupations, citizenship and business addresses are listed on Exhibit B.

(c)  The principal business of FRI is to act as a holding company for various subsidiaries engaged in the investment management and related services business. The principal business of FAV is to act as an investment adviser. The principal occupations of C. Johnson and R. Johnson, Jr. are listed on Exhibit B.

(d)  During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, and to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons listed on Exhibit B, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e)  During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, and to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons listed on Exhibit B, was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Reporting Persons have invested in the Issuer as follows:

• FRI has acquired a total of 9,990,587 of the Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $44,786,929.94.  FRI paid for such Shares from its working capital. 

• C. Johnson has acquired a total of 156,928 of the Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $756,290.82.  C. Johnson acquired 31,928 Shares for his personal account and paid for such Shares from his personal funds.  The Johnson Family Trust, of which C. Johnson is a trustee, acquired 125,000 Shares and paid for such Shares from the trust’s funds. 

• R. Johnson, Jr. does not own any Shares directly.  

      Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction

C. Johnson acquired the Shares for investment and to support the re-election of certain incumbent members of the Issuer’s board of trustees (the “Incumbent Nominees”), who would be opposed by the Saba Nominees at any new shareholder meeting.  C. Johnson and the Issuer filed a lawsuit against Saba Capital Management and certain other persons and are parties to a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the putative results of the June 6, 2022 shareholder vote of the Issuer with respect to certain persons nominated for election to its board of trustees by Saba Capital Management (the “Saba Nominees”) and requiring the defendants in the case to distribute corrective disclosures to shareholders prior to a new shareholder meeting. FRI acquired Shares for investment and to support the Incumbent Nominees, who would be opposed by the Saba Nominees at any new shareholder meeting. FRI reserves the right to contact shareholders of the Issuer in connection with any such shareholder meeting or for other reasons. FRI may purchase additional Shares of the Issuer to support the Incumbent Nominees and intends to vote all shares that it is entitled to vote in favor of the Incumbent Nominees at any such shareholder meeting. 

Except as described above, none of the investment management subsidiaries of FRI, and none of any of the other reporting persons covered by this Schedule 13D, currently has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D, or any present plans or intentions to acquire or dispose of any securities of the Issuer.

      Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a-b) The investment adviser to the Issuer is FAV. FAV is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FRI. C. Johnson and the Johnson Family Trust may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares reported herein for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), in C. Johnson's capacity as Executive Consultant to FRI and Trustee of the Johnson Family Trust. CUSIP NO. 880198106                                                                                                                                                                         Page 6 of 13

C. Johnson and R. Johnson, Jr. (the “Principal Shareholders”) each own in excess of 10%of FRI’s outstanding common stock and are the principal stockholders of FRI.  The Principal Shareholders may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule 13d‑3 under the Act, the beneficial owners of securities held by FRI.  The Principal Shareholders disclaim any pecuniary interest in any of the Shares reported herein, except as reported herein.  In addition, the filing of the Schedule 13D on behalf of the Principal Shareholders should not be construed as an admission that any of them is, and each disclaims that he is, the beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d-3, of any of the Shares, except as reported herein.

FRI and the Principal Shareholders believe that they are not a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Act and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the beneficial ownership of the Shares held by any of them.  FRI did not acquire more than 5% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares until September 2, 2022.  However, the Reporting Persons reported the date of the event giving rise to the obligation to file the initial Schedule 13D as August 31, 2022, on a precautionary basis, because on that date they in the aggregate beneficially owned (for purposes of Rule 13d-3) more than 5% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares.

The number of Shares as to which each reporting person on this Schedule 13D has:

(i)Sole power to vote or to direct the vote of the Shares:

      Franklin Resources, Inc.:                                                            9,990,587

      Charles B. Johnson¹:                                                                   156,928

      Rupert H. Johnson, Jr.:                                                                      0

(ii)  Shared power to vote or to direct the vote of the Shares:                                    0

(iii) Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the Shares:

      Franklin Resources, Inc.:                                                            9,990,587

      Charles B. Johnson¹:                                                                   156,928

      Rupert H. Johnson, Jr.:                                                                     0

(iv)  Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the Shares:                         0

      (c)    Other than as listed in Exhibit C, none of the reporting persons have effected any transactions in the Shares, Warrants or Notes since the transactions reported in Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on October 11, 2022.

      (d)    Not Applicable

      (e)     Not Applicable

      Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of

      the Issuer. 

FRI is party to a Securities Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with ICON Advisers, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“ICON”), pursuant to which FRI purchased 1,769,865 Shares (the “ICON Shares”).  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, ICON appointed FRI as ICON’s attorney and proxy with full authorization and power to vote (or abstain from voting) the ICON Shares that ICON is or may be entitled to vote as of any record date designated, set or established as a date prior to the date the ICON Shares were delivered to FRI for the Issuer’s 2022 annual meeting of shareholders, as such meeting may be set, held, adjourned or reconvened pursuant to court order, by the Fund or otherwise.  

 ¹  Includes 125,000 Shares held by the Johnson Family Trust.
