ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

AND RISK CONSIDERATIONS

The Matthew 25 Fund is an open-ended, non-diversified investment company. The Fund's investment objectives are non-fundamental and can be changed without shareholder approval.

There is no guarantee that the adviser's valuations are accurate. Even when a stock is purchased below its perceived fair value, there may be unforeseen changes in the business that may lead to a decline in value for the stock.

Non-Diversification Policy: The Fund is classified as non-diversified, which means that it may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the obligations of a limited number of issues. Non-diversification is a principle strategy of the Fund. The Fund, therefore, may be more susceptible than a more widely diversified fund to any single political, economic, or regulatory occurrence. The policy of the Fund is one of selective investments rather than broad diversification. The Fund seeks only enough diversification for adequate representation among what it considers to be the most attractive securities and to maintain its federal non-taxable status under Sub-Chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (see Tax Status).

OTHER STRATEGIES

Foreign securities: While the Fund normally invests in domestic companies, it may also invest in stock of foreign companies. The Fund will usually limit its foreign investments to foreign companies that trade on U.S. exchanges or over the counter markets.

Such companies will comply and register with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. There may be less public information about a foreign company and the adviser may not be able to understand the company as well as a domestic company due to language and cultural barriers. Foreign investments may have added risks due to currency rates, expropriation, confiscatory taxes, or political instability.

Defensive positions: Occasionally the Fund may take temporary defensive positions that would include all types of U.S. government obligations, and money market funds. Such a strategy would be in response to adverse market conditions or an inability to find securities that satisfy the adviser's price and quality standards. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective of long-term capital appreciation, whenever it is holding such defensive positions. Not only will such investments reduce the appreciation potential of the Fund, it will also increase the Fund's taxable income. These securities are generally not subject to credit risk but may be subject to interest rate and time risk. Medium and long-term bonds that have fixed interest and principal payments will decline in price if interest rates for the same maturities rise.

Exchange-Traded Fund positions: The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in ETFs. If and when the Fund invests in ETFs, the Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any expenses (such as operating expenses and advisory fees) that may be paid by certain of the ETFs in which it invests. These expenses would be in addition to the advisory and other expenses that the Fund bears in connection with its own operations. The Fund will also incur brokerage costs when it purchases ETFs. Investments in certain ETFs also may be subject to substantial regulation, including potential restrictions on liquidity and potential adverse tax consequences if the ETFs do not meet certain requirements. Correlation risk is the risk that the performance of an ETF may not completely replicate the performance of the underlying index or investment benchmark. A number of factors may affect an ETF's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the ETF invests, among other things. There can be no guarantee that an ETF will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. In addition, the underlying assets of an ETF may decline in value which would have an adverse effect on the performance of the Fund.

Special Situation Securities: The Fund may invest in special situations, such as the fixed income securities of a company in default. These securities would include secured or unsecured bonds, and preferred stocks. These defaults occur when a company misses a payment on its fixed income securities and may be under protection of Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. Such investments, when made, are consistent with the Fund's goal of long-term capital appreciation, and satisfy the adviser's criteria of market price sufficiently below estimated fair value. Such investments should be seen as an equity substitute and not as a standard fixed income investment, since the bondholders or preferred stockholders may eventually receive common stock in a reorganization. These securities are considered more risky than investments in companies with higher credit ratings, and may be less liquid.

The adviser will select defaulted stocks and bonds of companies he believes will survive, and successfully restructure its defaulted securities, so that the value of these fixed income securities may increase in price as a result of such restructuring. Further deterioration in the operating business of the company in default or an incorrect valuation by the adviser may lead to a loss of money for these special situation investments.

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

A description of the Fund's policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Fund's portfolio securities is available in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information (SAI). As explained in the SAI, quarterly portfolio holdings of the Fund are released to the public once the information has been filed with the SEC in the Fund's Annual Report, Semi-Annual Report, or Form N-Q filings.

INVESTMENT ADVISER

Matthew 25 Management Corp.

P.O. Box 2479

Jenkintown, PA 19046

The Matthew 25 Management Corp. is the Investment Adviser to the Fund. The current advisory agreement will continue on a year to year basis provided that approval is voted at least annually by the Fund's Board of Trustees or by majority vote of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, but in either event, it must also be approved by a majority of the Fund's Trustees who are neither parties to the agreement nor interested persons as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the Agreement, the Matthew 25 Management Corp., the Adviser, will have full discretion and responsibility for the investment decisions in the Fund. The Agreement may be terminated at any time, without payment of any penalty, by the Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund on not more than 60 days written notice to the Matthew 25 Management Corp. In the event of its assignment, the Agreement will terminate automatically. For these services the Fund has agreed to pay to Matthew 25 Management Corp. a fee of 1% per year on the average net assets of the Fund. All fees are computed and accrued on the daily closing net asset value of the Fund and are payable monthly. The Investment Adviser would forgo sufficient fees to hold the total expenses of the Fund to less than 2% of the first $10 million in averaged assets and 1.5% of the next $20 million.

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of trustee's approval of the Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser is available in the Fund's Annual Report to Shareholders dated December 31, 2023.

Pursuant to its contract with the Fund, the investment adviser is required to pay all costs of travel and materials required in its research; this is so that the adviser may fulfill its duty to buy, sell and hold securities that the adviser deems to best satisfy the Fund's investment objectives. The adviser pays the salaries of the Fund's officers, trustees or employees who are employees of the investment adviser.

The Fund pays the expenses to operate as a Registered investment Company, including but not limited to the following:

PORTFOLIO MANAGER

Mark Mulholland is the President of the Matthew 25 Management Corp (the Adviser to the Fund), and the President and Portfolio Manager for the Fund. He has been President and Portfolio Manager of the Fund since 1996. Mr. Mulholland has over 40 years of experience in the securities industry. Mr. Mulholland was previously a stockbroker with Boenning & Scattergood.

The Fund's SAI provides additional information about the Portfolio Manager.

* trustees of the Fund who would be considered "interested persons" as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940. Mark Mulholland is an interested person insofar as he is President and owner of the Fund's Investment Adviser. Mr. Buck is not an independent trustee as long as he or his law firm provide legal advice to the Fund for compensation.

Additionally, Mr. Buck's sister Lesley Buck is the Chief Compliance Officer of the Matthew 25 Fund.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As of the date of this prospectus, there was no pending or threatened litigation involving the Fund in any capacity whatsoever.

PRICING OF SHARES

The Net Asset Value of the Fund's shares is determined as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") for each business day of which the NYSE is open (presently 4:00 PM Monday through Friday). This, of course, is exclusive of any and all legal holidays the NYSE so honors by being closed for the day. The price is determined by dividing the market values of its securities, plus any cash and other assets, less all liabilities excluding par and surplus capital, by the number of shares outstanding. The market values, for securities listed on a national or regional exchange or on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (NASDAQ) market, are determined by the closing prices on the securities' primary market. Exchange or NASDAQ securities that have not recently traded are valued at the last bid price in the securities' primary market. Short-term paper (debt obligations that mature in less than a year) are valued at amortized cost that approximates market value.

FAIR VALUE PRICING

The Fund's Board of trustees has adopted guidelines for Fair Value Pricing, and has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for determining fair value prices, subject to review by the Board of Trustees. Generally, Fair Value Pricing is used only when market prices are unavailable. As an example, if trading is halted on one of the Fund's portfolio holdings while the market remains open for most other securities, the Adviser may use Fair Value Pricing to value that holding in order to calculate the day's NAV.

PURCHASE OF SHARES AND REINVESTMENTS

The offering price of the shares offered by the Fund is at the Net Asset Value per share ("NAV") next determined after receipt of the purchase order, by the Fund. The Fund reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate the offering of its shares made by this Prospectus at any time and to reject purchase applications when, in the judgment of management such termination or rejection is in the best interests of the Fund.

Initial Investments: Initial purchase of shares of the Fund may be made by application submitted to the Fund with a check, money order or transfer wire made payable to the Matthew 25 Fund, or through a brokerage firm or other financial institution that has agreed to sell the Fund's shares. The minimum initial purchase, of shares, is $10,000; less may be accepted under special circumstances. The Fund is eligible for sale in many states. There will be no solicitation of other states' residents as potential shareholders until registration under the Blue Sky or Notification Laws of such states have been met.

In compliance with the USA Patriot Act of 2001, please note that the Fund will verify certain information on your account application as part of the Fund's Anti-Money Laundering Program. As requested on the application, you should supply your full name, date of birth, social security number and permanent street address. Mailing addresses containing a P.O. Box will not be accepted.

Subsequent Purchases: Subsequent purchases may be made by mail or by phone and are due and payable three business days after the purchase date. The minimum is $100, but less may be accepted under special circumstances.

Reinvestments: The Fund will automatically retain and reinvest dividends and capital gain distributions. Reinvestment, for the shareholder, will be at net asset value on the close of business on the distribution date. A Shareholder may at any time, by letter or forms supplied by the Fund, direct the Fund to pay the dividends and/or capital gains distributions to the shareholder in cash.

Fractional Shares: Shares will be issued up to three decimal places.

Investments Made Through Financial Services Agents: If you invest through a financial services agent (rather than directly with the Fund), the policies and fees may be different than those described here. Financial advisers, financial supermarkets and other financial services agents may charge transaction and other fees and may set different minimum investments or limitations on buying or selling shares. Consult a representative of your financial services agent if you have any questions. Your financial services agent is responsible for transmitting your orders in a timely manner.

TAX STATUS

Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended, the Fund, by paying out substantially all of its investment income and realized capital gains, has been and intends to continue to be relieved of federal income tax on the amounts distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under Internal Revenue Code, at least 90% of the Fund's income must be derived from dividends, interest and gains from securities transactions, and no more than 50% of the Fund's assets may be in security holdings that exceed 5% of the total assets of the Fund at the time of purchase.

Distribution of any net, long-term, capital gains realized by the Fund this year will be taxable to the shareholder as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length of time Fund shares have been held. All income realized by the Fund, including short-term capital gains, will be taxable to the shareholder as ordinary income. Dividends received shortly after purchase of shares by an investor will have the effect of reducing the per share net asset value of his shares by the amount of such dividends or distributions and, although in effect a return of capital, are subject to federal income taxes. You can receive distributions of income or capital gains in cash, or you can have them reinvested in more shares of the Fund.

Distributions are taxable to you for federal income tax purposes whether or not you reinvest these amounts in additional fund shares. A sale of Fund shares is a taxable event, which means that you may have a capital gain to report as income, or a capital loss to report as a deduction, when you complete your federal tax return. Dividend and capital gains distributions that you receive, as well as your gains or losses from any sale of Fund shares, may be subject to state and local taxes.

The Fund is required by federal law to withhold a percentage of reportable payments (which may include dividends, capital gains, distributions and redemptions) paid to shareholders who have not complied with IRS regulations. In order to avoid this withholding requirement, you must certify on tax Form W-9 supplied by the Fund that your Social Security or Taxpayer Identification Number provided is correct and that you are not currently subject to back-up withholding, or that you are exempt from back-up withholding.

Portfolio Turnover Policy: The Fund does not propose to purchase securities for short-term trading in the ordinary course of operations. Accordingly, it is expected that the annual turnover rate will not exceed 50%, wherein turnover is computed by dividing the lesser of the Fund's total purchases or sales of securities within the period by the average monthly portfolio value of the Fund during such period. There may be times when management deems it advisable to substantially alter the composition of the portfolio, in which event, the portfolio turnover rate may substantially exceed 50%; this would only result from special circumstances and not from the Fund's normal operations.

INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS

You may purchase shares for an individual retirement account ("IRA") including Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP IRAs, and Simple IRAs. IRA investments are available for the following:

All assets are automatically invested in Fund shares, including all dividends and distributions paid on Fund shares within an IRA. There is an annual fee of $8.00 charged for IRA reporting costs. The Fund will pay the annual IRA fee for accounts with a value of at least $10,000. Accounts below $10,000 in market value may be charged the $8.00 fee. When the Fund pays the annual IRA fees it will be part of the IRA expenses for the Fund.

PENSION, PROFIT SHARING AND 401-K PLANS

Purchases of Fund shares through a business' retirement plans are available to the owners, officers and employees who participate in the retirement plans. The accounts will be registered under the name and tax identification of the pension, profit sharing and/or 401K plans.

REDEMPTION OF SHARES

The Fund will redeem all, or any part, of the shares for any shareholder who tenders a request for redemption, if the shares are held at the Fund. Proper endorsements guaranteed either by a national bank or a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange will be required, for withdrawals over $25,000, unless the shareholder is known by management. The redemption price is the net asset value per share next determined after the redemption notice is received by the Fund. The proceeds received by the shareholder may be more or less than his cost of such shares, depending upon the net asset value per share at the time of redemption and the difference should be treated by the shareholder as a capital gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

Payment by the Fund will be made within 7 calendar days after tender. The Fund may suspend the right of redemption or postpone the date of payment for the following reasons:

The Fund intends to make payments in cash, however, the Fund reserves the right to make payments in kind. For redemptions paid by wire transfer, the shareholder may be charged a $20.00 wire redemption fee.

Redemption checks may be made payable to (1) the shareholder(s) of record, or (2) a financial intermediary for the benefit of the shareholder(s) of record.

FREQUENT PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF FUND SHARES

The Fund is intended for use as a long-term investment vehicle. Long-term, as defined by management, is at least three years. The Fund is not intended to provide a means of speculating on short-term market movements. Frequent short-term trades by investors have the potential to make the Fund more difficult to manage efficiently, could impose additional brokerage or administrative costs on the Fund, may create unplanned tax burdens for some shareholders, and may dilute the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors. The Fund does not have any arrangements with any person to permit frequent purchases and redemptions of their shares. The Fund encourages long-term investing, and if a shareholder redeems shares for short-term trading, the Fund will take reasonable action in response, up to and including the limitation, suspension, or termination of a shareholder's purchase privileges. This policy is applied uniformly to all shareholders. It may not be feasible for the Fund to prevent or detect every potential instance of short-term trading, and detection may be particularly difficult with brokerage firm omnibus accounts.

The Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures to discourage frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares by Fund shareholders. To discourage short-term trades by investors, and to compensate the Fund for costs that may be imposed by such trades, the Fund will impose a redemption fee of 2.00% of the total redemption amount (calculated at market value) if you sell your shares after holding them for 365 days or less. The redemption fee is paid directly to the Fund and is designed to offset transaction costs and to protect the Fund's long-term shareholders. The Fund will use the "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) method to determine the 365 day holding period. The redemption fee does not apply to shares purchased through reinvested distributions. The Fund reserves the right to waive redemption fees for certain accounts that have proven to be long-term shareholders.

The Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase at any time.

FUND HISTORY

MATTHEW 25 FUND (also referred to as the "Fund") was incorporated in Pennsylvania on August 28, 1995. The initial seed money of $100,000 was invested by Mark and Ann Mulholland on October 16, 1995. The Fund did not accept investments from the public until October 1996 and has operated solely as an Investment Company since inception. In 2012, following a shareholder vote, the Fund changed its structure from a corporation to a Pennsylvania Business Trust. The Fund's registered office is in Dresher, Pennsylvania; mail may be addressed as follows:

Matthew 25 Fund

P.O. Box 2479

Jenkintown, PA 19046

Mr. Mark Mulholland is President of the Fund. He has direct responsibility for the day to day management of the Fund, continued registration, and compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND AND ITS INVESTMENTS AND RISKS

Objective: Matthew 25 Fund ("the Fund") is an open-ended, non-diversified, investment company that seeks long-term capital appreciation, through investments in common stocks and/or securities convertible into common stocks. Income, through dividends or interest, will be a secondary objective. The Fund's investment objective is non-fundamental and can be changed without shareholder approval.

Security Selection Criteria: Criteria used by the Adviser in recommending purchases of securities will be based on the Business Economics, Management Quality, Financial Condition and Security Price of each business.

MORE ON RISKS OF SPECIFIC STRATEGIES OF THE FUND:

(a) U.S. Government and Agency Bonds

The adviser does not intend to invest in U.S. government bonds on a regular basis or for long periods of time. It does wish to have the authority to do so as a defensive strategy. There may be times when the returns on such bonds may be more attractive than the returns on money market or other short-term interest accounts. Also, due to drastic price changes in the stock or bond markets, there may be times the adviser would feel that the U.S. government or agency bonds offer a better return potential and/or lower risk scenario than stocks. Besides increasing the taxable income to the Fund's shareholders, there is historical evidence that bonds provide lower total returns than stocks over the long-term. In addition, there have been periods in the past, and very likely will be in the future, when the U.S. government and its agency's bonds have generated negative total rates of return. Therefore, in the event that the Fund uses such an investment strategy, it will likely be used for a short or intermediate period.

(b) Special Situation Investments

The Fund may invest in special situations, such as the fixed income securities of a company in default. These securities would include secured or unsecured bonds, and preferred stocks. These defaults occur when a company misses a payment on its fixed income securities and may be under protection of Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. Such investments, when made, are consistent with the Fund's goal of long-term capital appreciation, and satisfy the adviser's criteria of market price sufficiently below estimated fair value.

Such investments should be seen as an equity substitute and not as a standard fixed income investment. These securities are considered more risky than investments in companies with higher credit ratings, and may be less liquid. The adviser will select defaulted stocks and bonds of companies he believes will survive, and successfully restructure its defaulted securities, so that the value of these fixed income securities may increase in price as a result of such restructuring. Further deterioration in the operating business of the company in default or an incorrect valuation by the adviser may lead to a loss of money for these special situation investments.

The securities of companies in default appear to be very risky, however, its securities may offer very low long-term price risk, with high reward potential. An example would be a viable operating company, with too much debt so that it is forced to file for Chapter 11 Protection in order to restructure its excessive debt load. Through its research, the adviser feels the debt will only receive 10 cents on the dollar, however, some of its debt, in the form of public bonds, trades at 2-5 cents on the dollar. Depending on the confidence of its analysis and its estimation of the length of time for reorganization, the adviser may wish to invest in the defaulted bonds. Such special situation investments may have large spreads in the buy and sell price of its securities due to low liquidity and thus, may be more expensive to trade than a more liquid security. These investments are made for a specific price target, therefore, if achieved, will be sold, increasing the portfolio turnover. This turnover may increase the fund's costs due to the costs of selling, and potential taxes for the Fund's shareholders. There is greater time risk in these securities because the upside values are usually limited, to face value or less, therefore the rate of return declines the longer it takes for restructuring or receipt of back payments.

(c) Foreign securities

The Fund will usually limit its foreign investments to foreign companies that trade on U.S. exchanges or over the counter markets. Such companies will comply and register with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. There may be less public information about a foreign company and the adviser may not be able to understand the company as well as a domestic company due to language and cultural barriers. Foreign investments may have added risks due to currency rates, expropriation, confiscating taxes, or political instability.

(d) Exchange-Traded Fund positions: The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in ETFs. If and when the Fund invests in ETFs, the Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any expenses (such as operating expenses and advisory fees) that may be paid by certain of the ETFs in which it invests. These expenses would be in addition to the advisory and other expenses that the Fund bears in connection with its own operations. The Fund will also incur brokerage costs when it purchases ETFs. Investments in certain ETFs also may be subject to substantial regulation, including potential restrictions on liquidity and potential adverse tax consequences if the ETFs do not meet certain requirements. Correlation risk is the risk that the performance of an ETF may not completely replicate the performance of the underlying index or investment benchmark. A number of factors may affect an ETF's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the ETF invests, among other things.

There can be no guarantee that an ETF will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. In addition, the underlying assets of an ETF may decline in value which would have an adverse effect on the performance of the Fund.

GENERAL RISKS OF THE FUND:

As stock prices may fluctuate, so may the Fund's share price fluctuate within a wide range, so that an investor could lose money over a period of time. Since the Fund invests a higher percentage of assets in fewer holdings than the average stock fund does, the Fund is subject to the risk of underperformance, due to weakness in one or a few of its stocks.

Risks associated with the Fund's performance will be those due to broad market declines and business risks from difficulties which occur to particular companies while in the Fund's portfolio. It must be realized, as is true of almost all securities, there can be no assurance that the Fund will obtain its ongoing objective of capital appreciation.

Factors such as domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels and political events affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions and depressions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to the Fund’s net asset value, and may impair market liquidity, thereby increasing liquidity risk.

Portfolio Turnover Policy: The Fund does not propose to purchase securities for short-term trading in the ordinary course of operations. Accordingly, it is expected that the annual turnover rate will not exceed 50%, wherein turnover is computed by dividing the lesser of the Fund's total purchases or sales of securities within the period of the average monthly portfolio value of the Fund during such period. High portfolio turnover involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Fund, including brokerage commissions and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales also may result in adverse tax consequences to the Fund's shareholders. The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Fund's performance. The portfolio turnover rates for the Matthew 25 Fund for the two years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were 23.38% and 29.02%, respectively. There may be times when management deems it advisable to substantially alter the composition of the portfolio, in this event, the portfolio turnover rate might exceed 50%; this would only result from special circumstances and not from the Fund's normal operations.

Non-diversification Policy: The Fund is classified as non-diversified, which means that it may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the obligations of a limited number of issuers. The Fund, therefore, may be more susceptible than a more widely diversified fund to any single, economic, political, or regulatory occurrence. The policy of the Fund, in the hope of achieving its objective as stated above, is, therefore, one of selective investments rather than broad diversification. The Fund seeks only enough diversification for adequate representation among what it considers to be the best performing securities and to maintain its federal non-taxable status under Sub-Chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.

ADDITIONAL FUND POLICIES

By-laws of the Fund provide the following fundamental investment restrictions; The Fund may not, except by the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares; i.e. a) 67% or more of the voting securities present at a duly called meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy, or b) of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities, whichever is less:

(a) Act as underwriter for securities of other issuers except insofar as the Fund may be deemed an underwriter in selling its own portfolio securities.

(b) Borrow money or purchase securities on margin but may obtain such short term credit as may be necessary for clearance of purchases and sales of securities for temporary or emergency purposes in an amount not exceeding 5% of the value of its total assets.

(c) Sell securities short.

(d) Invest in securities of other investment companies except as part of a merger, consolidation, or purchase of assets approved by the Fund's shareholders. However, the Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) regardless if the ETF is structured as an investment company, trust or partnership.

(e) Invest over 25% of its assets at the time of purchase in any one industry.

(f) Make investments in commodities, commodity contracts or real estate although the Fund may purchase and sell securities of companies that deal in real estate or interests therein.

(g) Make loans. The purchase of a portion of a readily marketable issue of publicly distributed bonds, debentures or other debt securities will not be considered the making of a loan.

(h) Acquire more than 10% of the securities of any class of another issuer, treating all preferred securities of an issuer as a single class and all debt securities as a single class, or acquire more than 10% of the voting securities of another issuer.

(i) Invest in companies for the purpose of acquiring control.

(j) The Fund may not purchase or retain securities of any issuer if those officers and trustees of the Fund or its Investment Adviser owning individually more than 1/2 of 1% of any classes of security or collectively own more than 5% of such class of securities of such issuer.

(k) Pledge, mortgage or hypothecate any of its assets.

(l) Invest in securities, which may be subject to registration under the Securities Act of 1933 prior to sale to the public or which are not at the time of purchase readily salable.

(m) Invest more than 5% of the total Fund assets, taken at market value at the time of purchase, in securities of companies with less than three years' continuous operation, including the operations of any predecessor.

(n) Issue senior securities.

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund is required to include a schedule of portfolio holdings in its annual and semi-annual reports to its shareholders. These reports are sent to shareholders within 60 days of the end of the second and fourth fiscal quarters and are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on Form N-CSR. The Fund is also required to file a schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC on Form NPORT every quarter. The Fund will provide a copy of the complete schedule of portfolio holdings as filed with the SEC, upon request. This policy is applied uniformly to all requesters, without regard to the type of requesting investor (i.e., regardless of whether the requester is an individual or institutional investor).

The portfolio holdings disclosure policy provides that the Fund will periodically disclose non-public portfolio holdings on a confidential basis to various service providers that require such information in order to assist the Fund in its day-to-day operations.

The Fund's President or Chief Compliance Officer are authorized to release the Fund's portfolio according to the schedule above. The Board of Trustees and Management of the Fund have determined that the above portfolio release policy is in the best interest of the Fund's shareholders. Additionally, any conflicts of interest with regards to this policy are appropriately addressed by the Board and Fund management.

PROXY VOTING

The Adviser provides a voice on behalf of shareholders of the Fund. The Adviser views the proxy voting process as an integral part of the relationship with the Fund.

It is the Adviser's policy to vote all proxies received by the Fund within a reasonable amount of time of receipt. Upon receiving each proxy, the Adviser will review the issues presented and make a decision to vote for, against or abstain on each of the issues presented in accordance with the proxy voting guidelines that it has adopted. The Adviser will consider information from a variety of sources in evaluating the issues presented in a proxy. The Adviser will pay particular attention to two primary areas:

(1) Accountability - Suitable procedures implemented to ensure that management of a company is accountable to its board of trustees and its board accountable to shareholders;

(2) Alignment of Management and Shareholder Interests - the management and board of trustees share goals and mutual interest in the benefit of the company's shareholders.

In certain instances, a conflict of interest may exist between the Investment Adviser and the Matthew 25 Fund regarding certain proxy proposals. In such cases, the Adviser is committed to resolving the conflict in the best interest of the Matthew 25 Fund before he votes the proxy in question. Accordingly, if a conflict of interest exists, Mr. Mulholland will consult at least two Matthew 25 Fund Board Members to discuss the voting of the proxy.

The Adviser's duty is to vote in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders. The actual voting records relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 (starting with the year ending June 30, 2004) are available without charge, upon request by calling toll-free, 1-888-M25-FUND or by accessing the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Procedures to implement the Program include, but are not limited to, determining that the Fund has established proper-anti-money laundering procedures, reporting suspicious and/or fraudulent activity and a complete and thorough review of all new opening account applications. The Fund will not transact business with any person or entity whose identity cannot be adequately verified under the provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act.

PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF SECURITIES

Major Shareholders: As of December 31, 2023, shareholders on record who own 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund are as follows:

INVESTMENT ADVISER

Matthew 25 Management Corporation

P.O. Box 2479

Jenkintown, PA 19046

The Matthew 25 Management Corp. is the Investment Adviser to the Fund and has continued to provide this service since July 8, 1996. Mr. Mark Mulholland is the sole trustee and president of the Investment Adviser as well as serving as president of the Fund. As president of the investment adviser he has direct responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investment portfolio.

The current advisory agreement will continue on a year-to-year basis provided that approval is voted at least annually by the Fund's Board of Trustees or by majority vote of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, but in either event; it must also be approved by a majority of the Fund's Trustees, who are neither parties to the agreement, nor interested persons as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the annual review of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board of Trustees receives information relating to 1) the terms and conditions of the agreement, including the nature of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser, 2) investment performance information 3) cost of services to the Fund and profitability of the Advisor and 4) economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund.

Under the Agreement, the Matthew 25 Management Corp., the Adviser, will have full discretion and responsibility for the investment decisions of the Fund. The Agreement may be terminated at any time, without payment of any penalty, by the Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, on not more than 60 days written notice to the Matthew 25 Management Corp. In the event of its assignment, the Agreement will terminate automatically. For these services the Fund has agreed to pay to Matthew 25 Management Corp. a fee of 1% per year on the average net assets of the Fund.

All fees are computed and accrued on the daily closing net asset value of the Fund and are payable monthly. The Investment Adviser would forgo sufficient fees to hold the total expenses of the Fund to less than 2% of the first $10 million in averaged assets and 1.5% of the next $20 million. The Board of Trustees selected these ratios because they are believed to meet the most restrictive state requirements.

Pursuant to its contract with the Fund, the investment adviser is required to pay all costs of travel and materials required in its research; this is so that the adviser may fulfill its duty to buy, sell and hold securities, that the adviser deems to best satisfy the Fund's investment requirements. The adviser is to pay the salaries of the Fund's officers, trustees or employees who are employees of the investment adviser. The Fund pays the expenses to operate as a Registered Investment Company, including but not limited to the following:

Advisory Fees: The advisory fees to the current adviser, for the last three years, are as follows:

OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS

TRANSFER AGENT

Broadview Heights, OH 44147

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The firm of Sanville & Company, 2617 Huntingdon Pike, Huntingdon Valley, PA 19006, has been selected as Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the Fund for the past twenty four years ended December 31, 2023. Sanville & Company performs an annual audit of the Fund's financial statements and prepares the Fund’s tax returns.

CUSTODIAN

Huntington National Bank, 7 Easton Oval, Columbus, OH 43219 has been selected to act as Custodian of the Fund's investments. The custodian safe keeps the portfolio securities and investments, collects income, disburses funds as instructed, and maintains records in connection with its duties.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER

Matthew 25 Management Corp. is the sole Adviser to the Matthew 25 Fund, and Mark Mulholland is the sole portfolio manager. Mr. Mulholland's compensation is paid by the Management Corp., and is set forth by the owners and directors of the Matthew 25 Management Corp. Because Mr. Mulholland and his wife are the sole owners of the Adviser, his salary is determined by the Adviser's profitability. Mr. Mulholland's income will likely be affected by appreciation and depreciation of the portfolio's securities, as well as the purchase and redemption of shares by the Fund's shareholders. These actions effect the net assets of the Fund and thus the advisory fees paid to the adviser.

Mr. Mulholland is not a portfolio manager for any other accounts. Mr. Mulholland was previously a stockbroker with Boenning & Scattergood, Inc.

As of December 31, 2023 Mark Mulholland (and his wife) beneficially own

955,755 shares or $27,736,016 of the Matthew 25 Fund.

BROKERAGE

The Fund requires all brokers to effect transactions of portfolio securities in such a manner as to get prompt execution of the orders at the most favorable price. The Fund will place all orders for purchases and sales of its portfolio securities through the Fund's President who is answerable to the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees review commission costs every quarter. The Fund's President may select brokers whom in addition to meeting the primary requirements of execution and price, have furnished statistical or other factual information and services, which, in the opinion of management, are helpful or necessary to the Fund's normal operations. No effort will be made in any given circumstances to determine the value of these services or the amount they might have reduced adviser expenses.

Other than as set forth above, the Fund has no fixed policy, formula, method or criteria which it uses in allocating brokerage business to brokers furnishing these materials and services.

The Board of Trustees will evaluate and review the reasonableness of brokerage commissions paid to brokers not affiliated with the President or Adviser at least semiannually.

Mark Mulholland was previously a stockbroker with Boenning & Scattergood, Inc. from July 8, 1996 to January 13, 2023. The following table shows the commissions paid by the Fund, to Boenning & Scattergood for the most recent five fiscal years.

The total brokerage commissions paid in 2023 equaled $ 25,884. The following table details all commissions paid for the most recent five fiscal years.

CAPITALIZATION

Description of Common Stock: The authorized capitalization of the Fund consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock. The par value per share is set at $0.01 and each share has equal dividend, distribution and liquidation rights. There are no conversion or pre-emptive rights applicable to any shares of the Fund. All shares issued are fully paid and non-accessible.

Voting Rights: Each holder of the Fund's common stock has one vote for each share held and fractional shares will have an equivalent fractional vote. Voting rights are non-cumulative, which means that the holders of a majority of shares of common stock can elect all trustees of the Fund if they so choose, and the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any person as a trustee.

PURCHASE OF SHARES AND REINVESTMENTS

The offering price of the shares offered by the Fund is at the Net Asset Value per share ("NAV") next determined after receipt of the purchase order, by the Fund. The Fund reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate the offering of its shares made by this Prospectus at any time and to reject purchase applications when, in the judgment of management such termination or rejection is in the best interests of the Fund.

Initial Investments: Initial purchase of shares of the Fund may be made only by application submitted to the Fund with a check, money order or transfer wire made payable to the Matthew 25 Fund, or through a brokerage firm or other financial institution that has agreed to sell the Fund's shares. The minimum initial purchase, of shares, is $10,000; less may be accepted under special circumstances. The Fund is eligible for sale in most states. There will be no solicitation of other states' residents as potential shareholders until registration under the Blue Sky or Notification Laws of such states have been met.

In compliance with the USA Patriot Act of 2001, please note that the Transfer Agent will verify certain information on your account application as part of the Fund's Anti-Money Laundering Program. As requested on the application, you should supply your full name, date of birth, social security number and permanent street address. Mailing addresses containing a P.O. Box will not be accepted.

Subsequent Purchases: Subsequent purchases may be made by mail or by phone and are due and payable three business days after the purchase date. The minimum is $100, but less may be accepted under special circumstances.

Automatic Investment Plan: The Automatic Investment Plan allows shareholders to purchase Fund shares on at least a monthly basis. Investments are made by authorizing the Fund to automatically deduct a dollar amount from the shareholders bank or money market account and invest that dollar amount in Fund shares. To participate in this program, an Automatic Investing Form (which is available by contacting the Fund) must be completed and signed.

Reinvestments: The Fund will automatically retain and reinvest dividends and capital gain distributions. Reinvestment, for the shareholder, will be at net asset value on the close of business on the distribution date. A Shareholder may at any time, by letter or forms supplied by the Fund, direct the Fund to pay the dividends and/or capital gains distributions to the shareholder in cash.

Fractional Shares: Shares will be issued up to three decimal places.

Investments Made Through Financial Services Agents:

If you invest through a financial services agent (rather than directly with the Fund), the policies and fees may be different than those described here. Financial advisers, financial supermarkets and other financial services agents may charge transaction and other fees and may set different minimum investments or limitations on buying or selling shares. Consult a representative of your financial services agent if you have any questions. Your financial services agent is responsible for transmitting your orders in a timely manner.

Purchases and Sales Through Broker Dealers:

The Fund has authorized one or more brokers to accept on its behalf purchase and redemption orders. Such brokers are authorized to designate other intermediaries to accept purchase and redemption orders on the Fund's behalf. The Fund will be deemed to have received a purchase or redemption order when an authorized broker or, if applicable, a broker's authorized designee, accepts the order. Customer orders will be priced at the Fund's NAV next computed after an authorized broker accepts them, or the broker's authorized designee.

OFFERING PRICE

NET ASSET VALUE CALCULATION

The Net Asset Value (NAV) of the Fund's shares is determined as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") for each business day of which the NYSE is open (presently 4:00 PM Monday through Friday). This, of course, is exclusive of any and all legal holidays the NYSE so honors by being closed for the day. The NAV of the Fund is determined by dividing the market values of its securities, plus any cash and other assets, less all liabilities excluding par and surplus capital, by the number of shares outstanding. The market values, for securities listed on a national or regional exchange or on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (NASDAQ) market, are determined by the closing prices on the securities' primary market. Exchange or NASDAQ securities that have not recently traded are valued at the last bid price in the securities' primary market. Short-term paper (debt obligations that mature in less than a year) are valued at amortized cost that approximates market value. The Fund may use fair value pricing only when market prices are unavailable.

An example of how the Fund calculated its offering price per share as of December 31, 2023 is as follows:

Net Assets

--------------------------- = Net Asset Value (NAV) per share

Shares Outstanding

288,317,609

--------------------------- = 29.02

9,936,475

REDEMPTION IN KIND

The Fund intends to make payments for redemptions in cash, however, the Fund reserves the right to make payments in kind.

FREQUENT PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF FUND SHARES

The Fund is intended for use as a long-term investment vehicle. Long-term, as defined by management, is at least three years. The Fund is not intended to provide a means of speculating on short-term market movements. Frequent short-term trades by investors have the potential to make the Fund more difficult to manage efficiently, could impose additional brokerage or administrative costs on the Fund, may create unplanned tax burdens for some shareholders, and may dilute the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors. The Fund does not have any arrangements with any person to permit frequent purchases and redemptions of their shares. The Fund encourages long-term investing, and if a shareholder redeems shares, the Fund may take reasonable action in response, up to and including the limitation, suspension, or termination of a shareholder's purchase privileges. It may not be feasible for the Fund to prevent or detect every potential instance of short-term trading.

The Board of Trustees has adopted these policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares by Fund shareholders.

To discourage short-term trades by investors, and to compensate the Fund for costs that may be imposed by such trades, the Fund will impose a redemption fee of 2.00% of the total redemption amount (calculated at market value) if you sell your shares after holding them for 365 days or less. The redemption fee is paid directly to the Fund and is designed to offset transaction costs and to protect the Fund's long-term shareholders. The Fund will use the "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) method to determine the 365 day holding period. The redemption fee does not apply to shares purchased through reinvested distributions. The Fund reserves the right to waive redemption fees for certain accounts that have proven to be long-term shareholders.

The Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase at any time.

TAX STATUS

Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended, the Fund, by paying out substantially all of its investment income and realized capital gains, has been and intends to continue to be relieved of federal income tax on the amounts distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under Internal Revenue Code, at least 90% of the Fund's income must be derived from dividends, interest and gains from securities transactions and no more than 50% of the Fund's assets may be in security holdings that exceed 5% of the total assets of the Fund at the time of purchase.

Distributions properly designated by the Fund as representing the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital loss are taxable to the shareholder as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length of time Fund shares have been held. Dividends received shortly after purchase of shares by an investor will have the effect of reducing the per share net asset value of his shares by the amount of such dividends or distributions and, although in effect a return of capital, are subject to federal income taxes.

The Fund is required by federal law to withhold a percentage of reportable payments (which may include dividends, capital gains, distributions and redemptions) paid to shareholders who have not complied with IRS regulations. In order to avoid this withholding requirement, you must certify on tax Form W-9 supplied by the Fund that your Social Security or Taxpayer Identification Number provided is correct and that you are not currently subject to back-up withholding, or that you are exempt from back-up withholding.

Individual Retirement Account: Persons who earn compensation and their spouses may establish Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) using Fund shares. Annual contributions may or may not be tax deductible from gross income. Qualification and deduction of contributions should be determined after consulting a tax adviser. Earnings within the IRA are reinvested and are tax-deferred until withdrawals begin. You may begin to make non-penalty withdrawals as early as age 59 1/2. Individuals may use the Fund for contributions to a traditional IRA, Roth IRA, Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA, or Simple IRA.

U.S. Treasury Regulations require a Disclosure Statement. This Statement describes the general provisions of the IRA and is forwarded to all prospective IRA shareholders.

There is an annual fee of $8.00 charged for each IRA account. The Fund will pay the annual fee for accounts with a value of at least $10,000. Accounts below $10,000 in market value may be charged the $8.00 fee. This will be decided on an annual basis by the Fund's Management or Trustees. When the Fund pays the annual IRA fees it will be part of the IRA expenses for the Fund.

PERFORMANCE DATA

The Fund's total returns are based on the overall dollar or percentage change in value of a hypothetical investment in the Fund, assuming all dividends and distributions are reinvested. Average annual total return reflects the hypothetical annually compounded return that would have produced the same cumulative total return if the Fund's performance had been constant over the entire period presented. Because average annual total returns tend to smooth out variations in a Fund's returns, investors should recognize that they are not the same as actual year-by-year returns. Average annual return is based on historical earnings and is not intended to indicate future performance.

For the purpose of quoting and comparing the performance of a Fund to that of other mutual funds and to other relevant market indices in advertisements, performance will be stated in terms of average annual total return. Under regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund's average annual total return quotations are calculated according to the formula below.

In calculating the ending redeemable value, all dividends and distributions by the Fund are assumed to have been reinvested at net asset value as described in the Prospectus on the reinvestment dates during the period. Additionally, redemption of shares is assumed to occur at the end of each applicable time period.

P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000

T = average annual total return

n = number of years

ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000

payment made at the beginning of the 1-, 5-, or

10-year periods at the end of the 1-, 5-, or 10-

year periods (or fractional portion). We have additionally included data for the 15 Year period and the 25 year period.

After tax returns are calculated using historical highest federal tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an individual investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or IRA's. As with all mutual funds, past results are not an indication of future performance.

Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions)

The average annual total return (after taxes on distributions) is computed by finding the average annual compounded rates of return over the periods that would equate the initial amount invested to the ending value, according to the following formula:

From time to time, quotations of the Fund's performance may be included in advertisements, sales literature or reports to shareholders or prospective investors. The Fund may also compare its performance figures to the performance of unmanaged indices which may assume reinvestment of dividends or interest but generally do not reflect deductions for administrative and management costs. Examples include, but are not limited to, the Value Line Index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Consumer Price Index, Standard & Poor's 500 Composite

Price Index (the "S&P 500"), the various NASDAQ indices, and the Russell 3000.

In addition, the Fund may compare its performance to the performance of broad groups of mutual funds with similar investment goals, as tracked by independent organizations such as Investment Company Data, Inc., Lipper Analytical Services, Inc, CDA Investment Technologies, Inc., Morningstar, Inc., Ibbotsen Associates, Value Line Mutual Fund Survey, and other independent organizations. Also, the Fund may refer to its ratings and related analysis supporting the ratings from these or other independent organizations.

Item 30. Indemnification.

The registrant provides $1,000,000 of Errors and Omissions Liability coverage for the officers and trustees of the registrant. Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the registrant, the registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
