Important Legal Information

Franklin Lexington PE Secondaries Fund is sold pursuant to the Offering Memorandum exemptions to qualified Canadian investors. Each investor must therefore qualify for an Offering Memorandum exemption in their jurisdiction of residence. Generally, this requires that an investor qualify as an “accredited investor” (as defined in securities legislation) and purchase the Fund as principal.

This document does not constitute an offering of any security, product, service or fund, including interests in Frankling Lexington PE Secondaries Fund (the “Fund”), which can only be made to qualified investors through, and in accordance with, the terms of the Fund’s subscription agreement and confidential private offering memorandum (collectively, the “Offering Documents”), and the constating documents of the Fund. The information in this document is for informational purposes only and is not intended to provide legal, accounting, tax, investment or financial advice and should not be relied on in that regard. It is qualified in its entirety by the Offering Documents of the Fund and no offering of interests in the Fund may be made by any literature, advertising, or document in whatever form other than the Fund’s Offering Documents, which supersede and may qualify, and differ from, the information and opinions contained herein.

The Offering Documents of the Fund contain important information regarding the Fund’s and the Initial Underlying Fund’s (as hereinafter defined) investment objective, strategies, restrictions, risks, fees, redemption limitations, liquidity, certain material conflicts of interest and other matters of interest. There are no assurances that the stated investment objective of the Fund or the Initial Underlying Fund will be met. Units of the Fund are only sold to purchasers that qualify as “accredited investors” in reliance on prospectus exemptions in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. As the Fund is a prospectus exempt fund, it is not subject to the same regulatory requirements as publicly offered investment funds offered by way of prospectus.

The Fund is a Canadian access fund established as a trust under the laws of the Province of Ontario that will invest substantially all of its investable assets in shares of Franklin Lexington PE Secondaries Fund (the “Initial Underlying Fund”), a sub-fund of Franklin Lexington Private Markets Fund SICAV SA. The Initial Underlying Fund is part of an umbrella investment program referred to as FLEX. The investment objective of FLEX is to seek long-term capital appreciation and FLEX seeks to achieve this investment objective by investing in a portfolio of private equity and other private assets.

All investments are subject to certain risks. The risks associated with private equity and other private asset investments involve a high degree of risk, may be considered speculative and are suitable only for accredited investors who can afford to risk the loss of all or substantially all of such investment. Less information may be available with respect to private investments and such investments offer limited liquidity. Complete information relating to the Fund, including risk factors, is contained in the Offering Documents. The information in this document is subject to change without notice, as such, only the most recent Offering Documents should be relied upon for information on the Fund.

The returns of the Fund are not guaranteed, the value of units of the Fund may change frequently and past performance may not be repeated and is not indicative of future results.
