      id="Fact000013">&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Principal Investment Strategy. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The
Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a portfolio of stocks. The Portfolio follows a simple investment strategy: Begin
with the stocks in the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East Index (&#x201c;MSCI EAFE Index&#x201d;) as
detailed below, one of the most widely-used benchmarks for international investing. Eliminate stocks traded in Singapore to help limit
exposure to uncertain political and economic conditions. Screen the remaining stocks to include only those companies with positive one-
and three-year sales and earnings growth and three years of positive dividend growth. Rank the remaining stocks from the previous step
by market capitalization and select the top 75%. From the stocks that remain from the previous step, buy the twenty highest dividend-yielding
stocks and hold them for about one year. A company will be excluded, and its stock will be replaced with the next highest dividend-yielding
stock, in the event that a stock in the initial portfolio would result in you and the Portfolio being direct or indirect shareholders
of any passive foreign investment companies (&#x201c;PFICs&#x201d;), or, if there is any restriction on the Sponsor&#x2019;s ability to
purchase a company&#x2019;s stock. Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., the Sponsor, implemented the strategy using information available June
30, 2026. When the Portfolio terminates, you can elect to follow the strategy by redeeming your Units and reinvesting the proceeds in
a new portfolio, if available. As of the Initial Date of Deposit, all of the Portfolio&#x2019;s investments are in securities of companies
derived from the MSCI EAFE Index.&lt;p style="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;Many consider the MSCI EAFESM Index to
be the premier equity benchmark for global investing. The index represents approximately 673 stocks across 21 developed countries. These
countries include Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands,
New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The final step of the strategy replaces
PFICs because of the negative tax treatment which could result from such ownership. A small percentage of the MSCI EAFESM Index includes
stocks that may be classified as PFICs and from time to time the stocks used to calculate hypothetical performance may include a limited
number of stocks that are PFICs.&lt;/p&gt;</fnd:NmRule35d1TermDfnTextBlock>

Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a portfolio of stocks. Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., the Sponsor, selected
the Portfolio based on information provided by Horizon Investment Services, LLC (the &#x201c;Portfolio Consultant&#x201d;) using its Quadrix
rating system. Beginning with the stocks in the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index, the strategy ranks each company from highest to
lowest based on One-Year Change in Tangible Book Value, Five-Year Expected Profit Growth, Three-Year Dividend Growth and Price to Book
Value. The strategy assigns each company a rank score from 1 to 100 for each of these four categories. A rank score of 100 is given to
the stock with the best rank in each category (highest rank for One-Year Change in Tangible Book Value, Five-Year Expected Profit Growth,
Three-Year Dividend Growth and the lowest rank for Price to Book Value), and a rank score of 1 is given to the stock with the worst rank
in a particular category. The highest possible total rank score is 400 and the lowest possible total rank score is 4. The strategy then
ranks the stocks by total rank score and selects the top 20 stocks, provided that no more than 12 stocks are selected from any single
industry sector (as furnished by S&amp;amp;P Dow Jones Indices). In the event that more than 12 stocks in the initial portfolio are from
a single industry sector, each such additional stock will be replaced with the stock with the next highest total rank score that is not
in that same sector. A company will be excluded and its stock will be replaced with the stock with the next highest total rank score,
if the company is an affiliate of the Sponsor, if there is any restriction on the Sponsor&#x2019;s ability to purchase a company&#x2019;s
stock, or, if based on publicly available information as of June 30, 2026 (the &#x201c;Selection Date&#x201d;), a proposed corporate action
would result in it not being the surviving company following a business combination or in its security being delisted. In addition, if
two stocks are assigned the same total rank score, the stock with the lower Price to Book Value is ranked higher. When the Portfolio
terminates, you can elect to follow the strategy by redeeming your Units and reinvesting the proceeds in a new portfolio, if available.
The strategy was implemented as of the close of business on the Selection Date. As of the Initial Date of Deposit, all of the Portfolio&#x2019;s
investments are in securities of companies derived from the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index.&lt;p style="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;The Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index is
pre-screened subset of stocks selected from all dividend-paying companies in the Dow Jones U.S. Index that have a non-negative historical
five-year dividend-per-share growth rate, a five-year average dividend to earnings per share ratio of less than or equal to 60%, and a
three-month average daily trading volume of at least 200,000 shares. The Dow Jones U.S. Index is a rules-governed, broad-market benchmark
that represents approximately 95% of U.S. market capitalization.&lt;/p&gt;</fnd:NmRule35d1TermDfnTextBlock>

Earnings and Dividend Rankings for Common Stock are selected and then all stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average are removed. The
remaining stocks are ranked by market capitalization and the top 75% are selected. The fifteen highest dividend-yielding stocks from

&#x201c;Data Provider&#x201d;). Beginning with the S&amp;amp;P 500 Index, the stocks are ranked by gross profit margin and the 50 stocks with
the highest gross margin are selected. Any stock from the previous step not ranked either &#x201c;4&#x201d; or &#x201c;5&#x201d; by S&amp;amp;P
Capital IQ&#x2019;s Stock Appreciation Ranking System (&#x201c;STARS&#x201d;) are eliminated. Finally, the remaining stocks are ranked by
price to sales ratio and up to twenty stocks are selected with the lowest price to sales ratios and held for approximately one year.
In addition, a company will be excluded and its stock will be replaced with the stock with the next lowest price to sales ratio, if the
company is an affiliate of the Sponsor, if there is any restriction on the Sponsor&#x2019;s ability to purchase a company&#x2019;s stock,

result in it not being the surviving company following a business combination or in its security being delisted. There is a possibility
that the strategy could produce a portfolio of less than twenty stocks in the current Portfolio or a future trust, if available, due
to a shortfall of stocks which meet all the strategy criteria. When the Portfolio terminates, you can elect to follow the strategy by
redeeming your Units and reinvesting the proceeds in a new portfolio, if available. The strategy was implemented as of the close of business
