Item 3.	SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
	Funds for the purchase of the Common Shares were derived from the subscription proceeds from investors and the capital appreciation thereon and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business.  In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time.  Since other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Shares reported herein. A total of approximately $190,332,528 was paid to acquire the Common Shares reported herein.
Item 4.	PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION
	Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: On December 29, 2022, Saba Capital Master Fund, Ltd., a private fund advised by Saba Capital, submitted to the Issuer a notice informing the Issuer of its intention to (i) nominate a slate of three independent trustee candidates-, Stephen G. Flanagan, Garry Khasidy and Andrew Kellerman (the "2023 Nominees"), for election to the Board at the Issuer's 2023 annual meeting of shareholders (the "2023 Annual Meeting") and (ii) submit a proposal to terminate the investment management agreement between the Issuer and its investment manager, Franklin Advisers, Inc. Certain of the 2023 Nominees have entered into a nomination agreement (collectively, the "Nominee Agreement") with Saba Capital substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 4 to this Schedule 13D whereby such nominees agreed to become members of a slate of nominees and stand for election as directors of the Issuer in connection with a proxy solicitation which may be conducted in respect of the 2023 Annual Meeting.  The foregoing summary of the Nominee Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Nominee Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4 and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.	INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a)	See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D/A for the aggregate number of Common Shares and percentages of the Common Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons.  The percentages used herein are calculated based upon 102,721,927 shares of common stock outstanding as of 6/30/22, as disclosed in the company's N-CSRS filed 8/29/2022.
