U.S. VALUE ETF

TICKER SYMBOL: USVT

 

A Series of Ultimus Managers Trust

 

Supplement to the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information,

both dated March 29, 2024

 

The Board of Trustees of Ultimus Managers Trust (the “Trust”) has concluded, based upon the recommendation of Lyrical Asset Management LP, that it is in the best interests of the U.S. Value ETF (the “Fund”) and its shareholders that the Fund be liquidated. Pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation (the “Plan”) approved by the Board of Trustees, the Fund will be liquidated and dissolved on or about May 24, 2024 (the “Liquidation Date”).

 

The last day of trading of the Fund’s shares on NYSE Arca (“NYSE”) will be May 14, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), which will also be the last day the Fund will accept orders for new creation units or redemption orders from authorized participants (as defined in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information). Shareholders may sell their holdings in the Fund in the secondary market until the end of the trading day on the Closing Date and customary brokerage charges may apply to these transactions. On or around the Closing Date, the Fund is expected to deviate from its stated investment strategies and will no longer be managed to meet its investment objective. From the Closing Date, through the Liquidation Date, shareholders may only be able to sell their shares to certain broker-dealers and there is no assurance that there will be a market for the Fund's shares during this time period. The Fund is expected to cease operations, liquidate its assets, and distribute the liquidation proceeds to shareholders of record on the Liquidation Date.

 

Any person holding shares in the Fund on the Liquidation Date will receive a cash redemption amount representing his or her proportionate interest in the net assets of the Fund as of the Liquidation Date, subject to any required withholdings such as charges, taxes, expenses and liabilities (“Liquidating Distribution”). Such Liquidating Distribution received by a shareholder of record may be in an amount that is greater or less than the amount a shareholder might receive if they dispose of their shares on the NYSE prior to market close on May 24, 2024. Additionally, the Fund must declare and distribute to shareholders any realized capital gains and all net investment income. Shareholders remaining in the Fund on the Liquidation Date will not be charged any transaction fees by the Fund. Once the distribution is complete, the Fund will terminate. Unless your investment in the Fund is through a tax-deferred retirement account, you will recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes (and for most state and local income tax purposes) on a redemption of your shares, upon the final Liquidating Distribution by the Fund, based on the difference between the amount you receive and your tax basis in your shares. The Fund may make one or more distributions of income and/or net capital gains on or prior to the Liquidation Date, in order to eliminate Fund-level taxes. Please refer to the “Dividends, Distributions and Taxes” section in the Prospectus for general information. You may wish to consult your tax advisor about your particular situation. Plan sponsors or plan administrative agents should notify participants that the Fund is liquidating and should provide information about alternative investment options.

 

 
 

ANY SHAREHOLDERS WHO HAVE NOT SOLD THEIR SHARES OF THE FUND IN THE SECONDARY MARKET PRIOR TO THE CLOSING DATE WILL HAVE THEIR SHARES AUTOMATICALLY REDEEMED AS OF THE LIQUIDATION DATE.
