    1. Based on most recent fiscal annual or semiannual period reported upon in the applicable Underlying Fund’s most recent financial

    statements that were publicly available by August 31, 2019, and for Investment Options invested in multiple Underlying Funds, based on a weighted average of each Underlying Fund’s expense ratio, in accordance with the Investment Option’s average monthly asset allocation among the applicable Underlying Funds for the 6-month period ended September 30, 2019. Underlying Fund expenses will vary and in some cases have been, and may from time to time be, reduced by fee and expense waivers or reimbursements, which may be ended at any time, increasing future expenses.

    2. This total is assessed against assets over the course of the year and does not include sales charges or account maintenance fees. No account maintenance fee is currently in effect. Refer to the table below that shows the total assumed costs of a $10,000 investment over various periods of time.

    3. See table entitled “Contribution Impact on Initial Sales Charges under Class A” below. 4. For Class A Trust Shares, there is a contingent deferred sales charge that applies to aggregate investments of $1 million or more.

    See “Fees and Expenses – Class A.” The contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Trust Shares applies to Class C Trust Shares redeemed in connection with a withdrawal during the first 12 months after the investment.

    5. The Program Management Fee has been reduced from 0.25% to 0.00% for the Franklin U.S. Government Money 529 Portfolio since its inception date of October 8, 2014; the Program Management Fee may be increased at any time, which would increase future expenses. “Total Annual Asset Based Fees” for the Franklin U.S. Government Money 529 Portfolio reflects the reduced Program Management Fee in effect as of the date of this Investor Handbook. The expenses of the Underlying Fund of the Franklin U.S. Government Money 529 Portfolio were 0.35% for the period from June 30, 2019 to the date of this Investor Handbook; such waivers and reimbursements may be reduced or ended at any time. Although no deferred sales charge is payable with respect to Trust Shares originally purchased in the Franklin U.S. Government Money 529 Portfolio upon a withdrawal from the Franklin U.S. Government Money 529 Portfolio, a deferred sales charge may be payable upon a withdrawal involving a redemption of Trust Shares in the Franklin U.S. Government Money 529 Portfolio acquired through an exchange from another Trust Portfolio, or upon a withdrawal involving a redemption of Trust Shares that were acquired, directly or indirectly, in exchange for Trust Shares originally purchased with contributions to the Franklin U.S. Government Money 529 Portfolio. See the discussion under “Class C” on page 43.

    6. After 10 years from the applicable purchase, these Trust Shares convert to Class A Trust Shares, and the Annual Sales Fee declines accordingly.

    based on a weighted average of each Underlying Fund’s expense ratio, in accordance with the Investment Option’s average monthly asset allocation among the applicable Underlying Funds for the 6-month period ended September 30, 2019. Underlying Fund expenses will vary and in some cases have been, and may from time to time be, reduced by fee and expense waivers or reimbursements, which may be ended at any time, increasing future expenses.

    2. This total is assessed against assets over the course of the year and does not include sales charges or account maintenance fees. No account maintenance fee is currently in effect. Refer to the table below that shows the total assumed costs of a $10,000 investment over various periods of time.

    3. See table entitled “Contribution Impact on Initial Sales Charges under Class A” below. 4. For Class A Trust Shares, there is a contingent deferred sales charge that applies to aggregate investments of $1 million or more.

    See “Fees and Expenses – Class A.” The contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Trust Shares applies to Class C Trust Shares redeemed in connection with a withdrawal during the first 12 months after the investment.

    5. The Program Management Fee has been reduced from 0.25% to 0.00% for the Franklin U.S. Government Money 529 Portfolio since its inception date of October 8, 2014; the Program Management Fee may be increased at any time, which would increase future expenses. “Total Annual Asset Based Fees” for the Franklin U.S. Government Money 529 Portfolio reflects the reduced Program Management Fee in effect as of the date of this Investor Handbook. The expenses of the Underlying Fund of the Franklin U.S. Government Money 529 Portfolio were 0.35% for the period from June 30, 2019 to the date of this Investor Handbook; such waivers and reimbursements may be reduced or ended at any time. Although no deferred sales charge is payable with respect to Trust Shares originally purchased in the Franklin U.S. Government Money 529 Portfolio upon a withdrawal from the Franklin U.S. Government Money 529 Portfolio, a deferred sales charge may be payable upon a withdrawal involving a redemption of Trust Shares in the Franklin U.S. Government Money 529 Portfolio acquired through an exchange from another Trust Portfolio, or upon a withdrawal involving a redemption of Trust Shares that were acquired, directly or indirectly, in exchange for Trust Shares originally purchased with contributions to the Franklin U.S. Government Money 529 Portfolio. See the discussion under “Class C” on page 43.

    6. After 10 years from the applicable purchase, these Trust Shares convert to Class A Trust Shares, and the Annual Sales Fee declines accordingly.

    ________________________________________________________________________

    6. Effective January 1, 2020, the text beginning below the chart on page 48 of the Investor Handbook, and the Approximate Cost of a $10,000 Investment in Dollars for Trust Share Classes and Periods Shown tables on pages 49-52 of the Investor Handbook, are replaced with the following:

    The following table compares the approximate cost of investing in the different classes within the Plan over different periods of time. Your actual cost may be higher or lower. The table is based on the following assumptions:

    A $10,000 investment invested for the time periods shown. A 5% annually compounded rate of return on the net amount invested throughout the period.

    The proceeds of all Trust Shares that are assumed to be redeemed for the purpose of a distribution at the

    end of the period shown are used for qualified higher education expenses (the table does not consider the impact of any potential state or federal taxes on the redemption).

    Total annual asset-based fees remain the same as those shown in the tables above.

    The investor pays the maximum applicable initial sales charge (without regard to possible breakpoints or

    waivers or any contingent deferred sales charges) in Class A, pays the annual sales fee in Class A (without regard to any waiver) and pays any contingent deferred sales charges applicable to Trust Shares invested for the applicable periods in Class C.

    In the case of the Franklin U. S. Government Money 529 Portfolio, the annual costs assume the

    continuation of the reduced Program Management Fee described in footnote 4; however, such Program Management Fee may be increased at any time, which would increase the applicable annual costs.

Type 2 Investment Options: Age-Based Allocations

    The risk and reward profiles of the Age-Based Investment Portfolios vary with the age of the Beneficiary, with the risk and return potential expected to be the highest at the youngest age and the lowest when the Beneficiary's age is 19 and above. The asset allocation in the Age-Based Investment Portfolios is based on the age of the Beneficiary and on the assumption that the assets in the Account will be used to pay for the qualified higher education costs of the Beneficiary during a time period in which individuals of the Beneficiary's age normally attend college. If your Beneficiary attends college during an earlier or later time period than that in which individuals of your Beneficiary's age normally attend college, the asset allocation of amounts invested for your Beneficiary in the Age-Based Investment Portfolios may not be appropriate for your Beneficiary.
