Templeton Dragon Fund, Inc. Announces Share Repurchase for the Fourth Quarter of 2025

Templeton Dragon Fund, Inc. announced share repurchase activity for the fourth quarter of 2025.
The fund repurchased 56,000 shares between October 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025.
Total shares repurchased since the inception of the repurchase program reached 9,472,184.
The fund aims to enhance shareholder value by buying shares when trading at a discount to net asset value (NAV).
All repurchased shares were canceled, with the difference between purchase price and NAV resulting in incremental NAV accretion.
The Board of Directors/Trustees authorized repurchases when shares trade at a discount to NAV.
Repurchase activity will be disclosed in the fund's shareholder report for the relevant fiscal period.
The fund's shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange and may fluctuate with market conditions.
Shares of closed-end funds often trade at a discount to NAV, which can increase investment risk.
The press release includes forward-looking statements subject to risks such as economic changes, regulatory updates, and interest rate fluctuations.
Investment products are not FDIC insured, have no bank guarantee, and may lose value.
