What drove fund performance during the past 12 months?

  • The shorter-maturity U.S. investment-grade bond market generated positive returns over the year ended May 31, 2026, as front-end yields ended lower amid elevated rate volatility, driven by moderating inflation expectations and Federal Reserve rate cuts during the second half of 2025.

  • The fund’s out-of-benchmark allocations to mortgage-backed securities (MBS), asset-backed securities (ABS), and commercial mortgage-backed securities aided performance relative to its style-specific benchmark, the Bloomberg Short-Term Government/Corporate Index, as spreads tightened. Similarly, an overweight to investment-grade corporate bonds and corresponding underweight to U.S. Treasuries contributed. Security selection within investment-grade corporate bonds generated positive returns.

  • Key rate management detracted from relative returns over the period, largely due to our two-year key rate positioning.

  • The Ultra Short-Term Bond ETF seeks a high level of income consistent with low volatility of principal value. The fund’s allocation to investment-grade corporate bonds decreased over the period but continues to represent its largest absolute and relative position. The fund’s allocation to U.S. Treasuries and MBS increased slightly while the fund’s allocation to ABS decreased.

  • While we are primarily a cash bond manager, we employ the use of derivatives in our strategy for hedging purposes. The use of derivatives may include futures and options, as well as credit default swaps and interest rate swaps.

The preceding line graph shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds lacking 10-year records). The fund’s performance information included in the line graph and table above is compared with a regulatory required index that represents an overall securities market (Regulatory Benchmark). In addition, the line graph and table may also include one or more indexes that more closely aligns to the fund's investment strategy (Strategy Benchmark(s)). The fund's total return figures reflect the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Neither the fund’s returns nor the index returns reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemptions of fund shares. The fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of the fund’s future performance. Updated performance information can be found at www.troweprice.com

Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. Audit-related fees include amounts reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and specifically include the issuance of a report on internal controls and, if applicable, agreed-upon procedures related to fund acquisitions. Tax fees include amounts related to services for tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.

(h)  All non-audit services rendered in (g) above were pre-approved by the registrant’s audit committee. Accordingly, these services were considered by the registrant’s audit committee in maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
T. Rowe Price Exchange-Traded Funds, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The Ultra Short-Term Bond ETF (the fund) is a diversified, open-end management investment company established by the corporation. The fund seeks a high level of income consistent with low volatility of principal value.
NOTE1SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation
The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 (ASC 946). The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), including, but not limited to, ASC 946. GAAP requires the use of estimates made by management. Management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately realized upon sale or maturity.
Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date basis. Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes. Paydown gains and losses are recorded as an adjustment to interest income. Income tax-related interest and penalties, if incurred, are recorded as income tax expense. Dividends received from other investment companies are reflected as dividend income; capital gain distributions are reflected as realized gain/loss. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the asset received. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared and paid monthly. A capital gain distribution, if any, may also be declared and paid by the fund annually. Dividends and distributions cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund.
45

T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

Currency Translation
Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate, using the mean of the bid and asked prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars as provided by an outside pricing service. Purchases and sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective date of such transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and losses is not bifurcated from the portion attributable to changes in market prices.
Capital Transactions
The fund issues and redeems shares at its net asset value (NAV) only with Authorized Participants and only in large blocks of 25,000 shares (each, a “Creation Unit”). The fund’s NAV per share is computed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4 p.m. Eastern time, each day the NYSE is open for business. However, the NAV per share may be calculated at a time other than the normal close of the NYSE if trading on the NYSE is restricted, if the NYSE closes earlier, or as may be permitted by the SEC. Individual fund shares may not be purchased or redeemed directly with the fund. An Authorized Participant may purchase or redeem a Creation Unit of the fund each business day that the fund is open in exchange for the delivery of a designated portfolio of in-kind securities and/or cash. When purchasing or redeeming Creation Units, Authorized Participants are also required to pay a fixed and/or variable purchase or redemption transaction fee as well as any applicable additional variable charge to defray the transaction cost to a fund.
Individual fund shares may be purchased and sold only on a national securities exchange through brokers. Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. and because the shares will trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at prices greater than NAV (at a premium), at NAV, or less than NAV (at a discount).
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the fund may provide indemnification in connection with its officers and directors, service providers, and/or private company investments. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the risk of material loss is currently considered to be remote.
46

T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

NOTE2VALUATION
Fair Value
The fund’s financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fund’s Board of Directors (the Board) has designated T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. as the fund’s valuation designee (Valuation Designee). Subject to oversight by the Board, the Valuation Designee performs the following functions in performing fair value determinations: assesses and manages valuation risks; establishes and applies fair value methodologies; tests fair value methodologies; and evaluates pricing vendors and pricing agents. The duties and responsibilities of the Valuation Designee are performed by its Valuation Committee. The Valuation Designee provides periodic reporting to the Board on valuation matters.
Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the fund can access at the reporting date
Level 2inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads)
Level 3unobservable inputs (including the Valuation Designee’s assumptions in determining fair value)
Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial
47

T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

instrument. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values.
Valuation Techniques
Debt securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market and are valued at prices furnished by independent pricing services or by broker dealers who make markets in such securities. When valuing securities, the independent pricing services consider factors such as, but not limited to, the yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such securities.
Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund’s closing NAV per share on the day of valuation. Listed options, and OTC options with a listed equivalent, are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices and exchange-traded options on futures contracts are valued at closing settlement prices. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued using the prevailing forward exchange rate. Futures contracts are valued at closing settlement prices. Assets and liabilities other than financial instruments, including short-term receivables and payables, are carried at cost, or estimated realizable value, if less, which approximates fair value.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee. The Valuation Designee has adopted methodologies for determining the fair value of investments for which market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, including the use of other pricing sources. Factors used in determining fair value vary by type of investment and may include market or investment specific considerations. The Valuation Designee typically will afford the greatest weight to actual prices in arm’s length transactions, to the extent they represent orderly transactions between market participants, transaction information can be reliably obtained, and prices are deemed representative of fair value. However, the Valuation Designee may also consider other valuation methods such as market-based valuation multiples; a discount or premium from market value of a similar, freely traded security of the same issuer; discounted cash flows; yield to maturity; or some combination. Fair value determinations are reviewed on a regular basis. Because any fair value determination involves a significant amount of judgment, there is a degree of subjectivity inherent in such pricing decisions. Fair value prices determined by the Valuation Designee could
48

T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

differ from those of other market participants, and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security.

NOTE3DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
During the year ended May 31, 2026, the fund invested in derivative instruments. As defined by GAAP, a derivative is a financial instrument whose value is derived from an underlying security price, foreign exchange rate, interest rate, index of prices or rates, or other variable; it requires little or no initial investment and
49

T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

permits or requires net settlement or delivery of cash or other assets. The fund invests in derivatives only if the expected risks and rewards are consistent with its investment objectives, policies, and overall risk profile, as described in its prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The fund may use derivatives for a variety of purposes and may use them to establish both long and short positions within the fund’s portfolio. Potential uses include to hedge against declines in principal value, increase yield, invest in an asset with greater efficiency and at a lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to enhance return, or to adjust portfolio duration and credit exposure. The risks associated with the use of derivatives are different from, and potentially much greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the instruments on which the derivatives are based.
The fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value currently in its results of operations. Accordingly, the fund does not follow hedge accounting, even for derivatives employed as economic hedges. Generally, the fund accounts for its derivatives on a gross basis. It does not offset the fair value of derivative liabilities against the fair value of derivative assets on its financial statements, nor does it offset the fair value of derivative instruments against the right to reclaim or obligation to return collateral. The following table summarizes the fair value of the fund’s derivative instruments held as of May 31, 2026, and the related location on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

Counterparty Risk and Collateral
The fund invests in derivatives in various markets, which expose it to differing levels of counterparty risk. Counterparty risk on exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivative contracts, such as futures, exchange-traded options, and centrally cleared swaps, is minimal because the clearinghouse provides protection against counterparty defaults. For futures and centrally cleared swaps, the fund is required to deposit collateral in an amount specified by the clearinghouse and the
51

T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

clearing firm (margin requirement), and the margin requirement must be maintained over the life of the contract. Each clearinghouse and clearing firm, in its sole discretion, may adjust the margin requirements applicable to the fund.
Derivatives, such as non-cleared bilateral swaps, forward currency exchange contracts, and OTC options, that are transacted and settle directly with a counterparty (bilateral derivatives) may expose the fund to greater counterparty risk. To mitigate this risk, the fund has entered into master netting arrangements (MNAs) with certain counterparties that permit net settlement under specified conditions and, for certain counterparties, also require the exchange of collateral to cover mark-to-market exposure. MNAs may be in the form of International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements (ISDAs), with a Credit Support Annex (CSA), if any, that governs the collateralization process, or foreign exchange letter agreements (FX letters).
MNAs provide the ability to offset amounts the fund owes a counterparty against amounts the counterparty owes the fund (net settlement). Both ISDAs and FX letters generally allow termination of transactions and net settlement upon the occurrence of contractually specified events, such as failure to pay or bankruptcy. In addition, ISDAs specify other events, such as Additional Termination Events, the occurrence of which would allow one of the parties to terminate. For example, a downgrade in credit rating of a counterparty below a specified rating would allow the fund to terminate, while a decline in the fund’s net assets of more than a specified percentage would allow the counterparty to terminate. Upon termination, all transactions with that counterparty would be liquidated and a net termination amount settled. ISDAs typically include collateral agreements, such as a CSA, whereas FX letters do not. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on all bilateral derivatives with a counterparty, subject to minimum transfer amounts that typically range from $100,000 to $250,000. Any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is typically transferred the next business day.
Collateral may be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies, although other securities may be used depending on the terms outlined in the applicable MNA. Cash posted by the fund is reflected as cash deposits in the accompanying financial statements and generally is restricted from withdrawal by the fund; securities posted by the fund are so noted in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments; both remain in the fund’s assets. Collateral pledged by counterparties is not included in the fund’s assets because the fund does not obtain effective control over those assets. For bilateral derivatives, collateral posted or received by the fund is held in a segregated account at the fund’s custodian. While typically not sold in the same manner as
52

T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

equity or fixed income securities, exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives may be closed out only on the exchange or clearinghouse where the contracts were cleared, and OTC and bilateral derivatives may be unwound with counterparties or transactions assigned to other counterparties to allow the fund to exit the transaction. This ability is subject to the liquidity of underlying positions. As of May 31, 2026, no collateral was pledged by either the fund or counterparties for bilateral derivatives. As of May 31, 2026, securities valued at $1,635,000 had been posted by the fund for exchange-traded and/or centrally cleared derivatives.
Forward Currency Exchange Contracts
The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. It may use forward currency exchange contracts (forwards) primarily to protect its non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities from adverse currency movements or to increase exposure to a particular foreign currency, to shift the fund’s foreign currency exposure from one country to another, or to enhance the fund’s return.  A forward involves an obligation to purchase or sell a fixed amount of a specific currency on a future date at a price set at the time of the contract. Although certain forwards may be settled by exchanging only the net gain or loss on the contract, most forwards are settled with the exchange of the underlying currencies in accordance with the specified terms. Forwards are valued at the unrealized gain or loss on the contract, which reflects the net amount the fund either is entitled to receive or obligated to deliver, as measured by the difference between the forward exchange rates at the date of entry into the contract and the forward rates at the reporting date. Appreciated forwards are reflected as assets and depreciated forwards are reflected as liabilities on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded on the accompanying Statement of Operations. Risks related to the use of forwards include the possible failure of counterparties to meet the terms of the agreements; that anticipated currency movements will not occur, thereby reducing the fund’s total return; and the potential for losses in excess of the fund’s initial investment. During the year ended May 31, 2026, the volume of the fund’s activity in forwards, based on underlying notional amounts, was generally between 0% and 2% of net assets.
Futures Contracts
The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and uses futures contracts to help manage such risk. The fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate and yield curve movements, security prices, foreign currencies, and mortgage prepayments; as an efficient means of adjusting exposure to all or part of a target market; as a cash management tool; or to adjust portfolio duration. A futures contract provides
53

T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

for the future sale by one party and purchase by another of a specified amount of a specific underlying financial instrument at an agreed-upon price, date, time, and place. The fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures, which generally are standardized as to maturity date, underlying financial instrument, and other contract terms. Payments are made or received by the fund each day to settle daily fluctuations in the value of the contract (variation margin), which reflect changes in the value of the underlying financial instrument. Variation margin is recorded as unrealized gain or loss until the contract is closed. The value of a futures contract included in net assets is the amount of unsettled variation margin; net variation margin receivable is reflected as an asset and net variation margin payable is reflected as a liability on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded on the accompanying Statement of Operations. Risks related to the use of futures contracts include possible illiquidity of the futures markets, contract prices that can be highly volatile and imperfectly correlated to movements in hedged security values and/or interest rates, and potential losses in excess of the fund’s initial investment. During the year ended May 31, 2026, the volume of the fund’s activity in futures, based on underlying notional amounts, was generally between 8% and 24% of net assets.
Options
The fund is subject to interest rate risk and credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and uses options to help manage such risks. The fund may use options to manage exposure to security prices, interest rates, foreign currencies, and credit quality; as an efficient means of adjusting exposure to all or a part of a target market; to enhance income; as a cash management tool; or to adjust credit exposure. The fund may buy or sell options that can be settled either directly with the counterparty (OTC options) or through a central clearinghouse (exchange-traded options). Options are included in net assets at fair value, options purchased are included in Investments in Securities, and options written are separately reflected as a liability on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums on unexercised, expired options are recorded as realized gains or losses on the accompanying Statement of Operations; premiums on exercised options are recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or cost of the purchase. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid in a closing transaction is also treated as realized gain or loss on the accompanying Statement of Operations. In return for a premium paid, call and put options on futures give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase or sell, respectively, a position in a particular futures contract at a specified exercise price. In return for a premium paid, options on swaps give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to enter a specified swap
54

T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

contract on predefined terms. The exercise price of an option on a credit default swap is stated in terms of a specified spread that represents the cost of credit protection on the reference asset, including both the upfront premium to open the position and future periodic payments. The exercise price of an interest rate swap is stated in terms of a fixed interest rate; generally, there is no upfront payment to open the position.  Risks related to the use of options include possible illiquidity of the options markets; trading restrictions imposed by an exchange or counterparty; possible failure of counterparties to meet the terms of the agreements; movements in the underlying asset values, interest rates, and credit ratings; and, for options written, the potential for losses to exceed any premium received by the fund. During the year ended May 31, 2026, the volume of the fund’s activity in options, based on underlying notional amounts, was generally between 0% and 40% of net assets.
NOTE4OTHER INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following practices to manage exposure to certain risks and/or to enhance performance. The investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the fund are described more fully in the fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
Restricted Securities
The fund invests in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Prompt sale of such securities at an acceptable price may be difficult and may involve substantial delays and additional costs.
Collateralized Loan Obligations
The fund invests in collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) which are entities backed by a diversified pool of syndicated bank loans. The cash flows of the CLO can be split into multiple segments, called “tranches” or “classes”, which will vary in risk profile and yield. The riskiest segments, which are the subordinate or “equity” tranches, bear the greatest risk of loss from defaults in the underlying assets of the CLO and serve to protect the other, more senior, tranches. Senior tranches will typically have higher credit ratings and lower yields than the securities underlying the CLO. Despite the protection from the more junior tranches, senior tranches can experience substantial losses.
55

T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

Mortgage-Backed Securities
The fund invests in mortgage-backed securities (MBS or pass-through certificates) that represent an interest in a pool of specific underlying mortgage loans and entitle the fund to the periodic payments of principal and interest from those mortgages. MBS may be issued by government agencies or corporations, or private issuers. Most MBS issued by government agencies are guaranteed; however, the degree of protection differs based on the issuer. MBS are sensitive to changes in economic conditions that affect the rate of prepayments and defaults on the underlying mortgages; accordingly, the value, income, and related cash flows from MBS may be more volatile than other debt instruments.
When-Issued Securities
The fund enters into when-issued purchase or sale commitments, pursuant to which it agrees to purchase or sell, respectively, an authorized but not yet issued security for a fixed unit price, with payment and delivery not due until issuance of the security on a scheduled future date. When-issued securities may be new securities or securities issued through a corporate action, such as a reorganization or restructuring. Until settlement, the fund maintains liquid assets sufficient to settle its commitment to purchase a when-issued security. Amounts realized on when-issued transactions are included in realized gain/loss on securities in the accompanying financial statements.
Securities Lending
The fund may lend its securities to approved borrowers to earn additional income. Its securities lending activities are administered by a lending agent in accordance with a securities lending agreement. Security loans generally do not have stated maturity dates, and the fund may recall a security at any time. The fund receives collateral in the form of cash or U.S. government securities. Collateral is maintained over the life of the loan in an amount not less than the value of loaned securities; any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is delivered to the fund the next business day. Cash collateral is invested in accordance with investment guidelines approved by fund management. Additionally, the lending agent indemnifies the fund against losses resulting from borrower default. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral and indemnification, the fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and a possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the securities, collateral investments decline in value, and the lending agent fails to perform. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold, re-invested or pledged by the fund, except in the event of borrower default. Securities lending revenue consists of earnings on invested collateral and borrowing fees, net of any rebates to the borrower, compensation to the lending agent, and other administrative costs. In accordance
56

T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

with GAAP, investments made with cash collateral are reflected in the accompanying financial statements, but collateral received in the form of securities is not. At May 31, 2026, the value of loaned securities was $1,397,000; the value of cash collateral and related investments was 1,424,000.
Other
Purchases and sales of portfolio securities excluding in-kind transactions and short-term and U.S. government securities aggregated $1,003,132,000 and $472,299,000, respectively, for the year ended May 31, 2026. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities, excluding in-kind transactions and short-term securities, aggregated $107,387,000 and $31,523,000, respectively, for the year ended May 31, 2026.
NOTE5FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Generally, no provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. Distributions determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes.
The fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return but which can be extended to six years in certain circumstances. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.
Capital accounts within the financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are not adjusted for temporary differences. The permanent book/tax adjustments, if any, have no impact on results of operations or net assets.
The tax character of distributions paid for the periods presented was as follows:

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement purposes versus for tax purposes; these differences will reverse in a subsequent reporting period. The temporary differences relate primarily to the deferral of losses from wash sales and the realization of gains/losses on certain open derivative contracts. The loss carryforwards and deferrals primarily relate to straddle deferrals.

NOTE7SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments are defined as components of a company that engage in business activities and for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Management Committee of Price Group acts as the fund’s CODM. The fund makes investments in accordance with its investment objective as outlined in the Prospectus and is considered one reportable segment because the CODM allocates resources and assesses the operating results of the fund on the whole.
The fund’s revenue is derived from investments in a portfolio of securities. The CODM allocates resources and assesses performance based on the operating results of the fund, which is consistent with the results presented in the statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights. The CODM compares the fund’s performance to its benchmark index and evaluates the positioning of the fund in relation to its investment objective. The measure of segment assets is net assets of the fund which is disclosed in the statement of assets and liabilities.
The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The financial statements include all details of the segment assets, segment revenue and expenses; and reflect the financial results of the segment.
NOTE8OTHER MATTERS
Unpredictable environmental, political, social and economic events, including but not limited to, environmental or natural disasters, war and conflict, terrorism, geopolitical and regulatory developments (including trading and tariff arrangements), and public health epidemics or threats, may significantly affect the economy and the markets and issuers in which a fund invests. The extent and duration of such events and resulting market disruptions cannot be predicted. These and other similar events may cause instability across global markets, including reduced liquidity and disruptions in trading markets, while some events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors, and industries more significantly than others, and exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, and economic risks. The fund’s performance could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by these or such events.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of T. Rowe Price Ultra Short-Term Bond ETF (one of the funds constituting T.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
Each year, the fund’s Board of Directors (Board) considers the continuation of the investment management agreement (Advisory Contract) between the fund and its investment adviser, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Adviser).  In that regard, at a meeting held on March 11-12, 2026 (Meeting), the Board, including all of the fund’s independent directors who were present in person at the Meeting, approved the continuation of the fund’s Advisory Contract.  At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of the Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Contract.  The independent directors were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Contract by independent legal counsel from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately
In providing information to the Board, the Adviser was guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted by independent legal counsel on behalf of the independent directors. In considering and approving the continuation of the Advisory Contract, the Board considered the information it believed was relevant, including, but not limited to, the information discussed below.  The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with the Adviser about various topics and information provided to it by the Adviser.  The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the T. Rowe Price funds’ advisory contracts, including performance and the services and support provided to the funds and their shareholders
Services Provided by the Adviser
The Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the fund by the Adviser.  These services include, but are not limited to, directing the fund’s investments in accordance with its investment program and the overall management of the fund’s portfolio, as well as a variety of related activities such as financial, investment operations, and administrative services; compliance and infrastructure, as well as compliance with new and evolving regulatory requirements (e.g., derivatives and liquidity risk management); maintaining the fund’s records and registrations; and shareholder communications.  The Board also reviewed the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management team and investment personnel involved in the management of the fund, as well as the Adviser’s compliance record.  The Board concluded that the information it considered with respect to the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided by the Adviser, as well as the other factors considered at the Meeting, supported the Board’s approval of the continuation of the Advisory Contract.
64

T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT(continued)
Investment Performance of the Fund
The Board took into account discussions with the Adviser and detailed reports that it regularly receives throughout the year on relative and absolute performance for the T. Rowe Price funds.  In connection with the Meeting, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser that compared the fund’s total returns, as well as a wide variety of other previously agreed-upon performance measures and market data, against relevant benchmark indexes and (as applicable) peer groups of funds with similar investment programs for various periods through December 31, 2025.  Additionally, the Board reviewed the fund’s relative performance information as of September 30, 2025, which ranked the fund’s returns for various periods against a universe of funds with similar investment programs selected by Broadridge, an independent provider of investment company data.
In the course of its deliberations, the Board considered performance information provided throughout the year and in connection with the Advisory Contract review at the Meeting, as well as information provided during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio managers and senior investment personnel during the course of the year regarding the fund’s performance.  The Board also considered relevant factors, such as overall market conditions and trends that could adversely impact the fund’s performance, length of the fund’s performance track record, and how closely the fund’s strategies align with its benchmarks and peer groups.  The Board concluded that the information it considered with respect to the fund’s performance, as well as the other factors considered at the Meeting, supported the Board’s approval of the continuation of the Advisory Contract.  
Costs, Benefits, Profits, and Economies of Scale
The Board reviewed detailed information regarding the revenues received by the Adviser under the Advisory Contract and other direct and indirect benefits that the Adviser (and its affiliates) may have realized from its relationship with the fund.  In considering soft-dollar arrangements, the Board noted that the Adviser may use brokerage commissions in connection with certain T. Rowe Price funds’ securities transactions to pay for research when permissible, and the Board considered that the Adviser may receive some benefit from soft-dollar arrangements pursuant to which research is received from broker-dealers that execute the applicable fund’s portfolio transactions.   
The Board received information on the estimated costs incurred and profits realized by the Adviser from managing the T. Rowe Price funds. The Board also reviewed estimates of the profits realized from managing the fund in particular, and the Board concluded that the Adviser’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the fund.  
65

T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT(continued)
The Board also considered whether the fund benefits under the fee levels set forth in the Advisory Contract or otherwise from any economies of scale potentially realized by the Adviser.  Under the Advisory Contract, the fund pays the Adviser an all-inclusive fee, which is based on the fund’s average daily net assets. The all-inclusive fee includes investment management services and provides for the Adviser to pay all of the fund’s ordinary, recurring operating expenses except for interest and borrowing expenses, taxes, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, fund proxy expenses, and any nonrecurring extraordinary expenses that may arise. The Adviser has generally implemented an all-inclusive fee structure in situations where a fixed total expense ratio is useful for purposes of providing certainty of fees and expenses for the fund’s investors and such a fee structure is typically used by other ETFs offered by competitors. The all-inclusive fee rate is determined based upon an evaluation of the particular strategy and a competitive analysis of the actively managed ETF industry. In addition, the assets of the fund are included in the calculation of the group fee rate, which serves as a component of the management fee rate for many T. Rowe Price mutual funds and declines at certain asset levels based on the combined average net assets of most of the T. Rowe Price mutual funds and ETFs (including the fund).  Although the fund does not have a group fee rate component to its all-inclusive fee, its assets are included in the calculation because certain resources utilized to operate the fund are shared with other T. Rowe Price funds.
In addition, the Board noted that the fund potentially shares in potential economies of scale through the Adviser’s ongoing investments in its business in support of the T. Rowe Price funds, including investments in trading systems, technology, and regulatory support enhancements, and the ability to possibly negotiate lower fee arrangements with third-party service providers.  The Board concluded that the all-inclusive fee structure for the fund provides for a reasonable sharing of benefits from potential economies of scale with the fund and its investors.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT(continued)
Fees and Expenses
The Board was provided with information regarding industry trends in exchange-traded fund fees.  The Board reviewed and considered information regarding the fund’s actual total expense ratio, noting that the fund pays an all-inclusive fee. Among other things, the Board reviewed data for peer groups that were compiled by Broadridge, which compared: (i) actual management fees and total expenses of the fund with a group of competitor funds selected by Broadridge (Expense Group); and (ii) actual management fees and total expenses of the fund with a broader set of funds within the Lipper investment classification (Expense Universe). The Board considered the fund’s actual management fee rate and total expenses (each of which generally reflect the fund’s all-inclusive fee rate) in comparison with the information for the Broadridge peer groups. Broadridge generally constructed the peer groups by seeking the most comparable actively managed exchange-traded funds based on similar investment classifications and objectives, expense structure, asset size, and operating components and attributes and ranked funds into quintiles, with the first quintile representing the funds with the lowest relative expenses and the fifth quintile representing the funds with the highest relative expenses.  The information provided to the Board indicated that the actual management fee rate ranked in the second quintile (Expense Group and Expense Universe) and the total expenses ranked in the second quintile (Expense Group and Expense Universe).
The Board was provided the fee schedules and other account fee information for certain comparable investment portfolios that are advised or subadvised by the Adviser and its affiliates, including separately managed accounts for institutional investors; subadvised funds; and other sponsored investment portfolios that are not registered investment companies, including collective investment trusts and pooled vehicles organized and offered to investors outside the United States. The fee schedules and account fee information, which are subject to change, may be negotiated under certain circumstances and may differ across regions. Management provided the Board with information about the Adviser’s responsibilities and services provided to subadvisory clients and other types of clients, including information about how the requirements, economics and risks of the domestic and international businesses may differ from those of the proprietary mutual fund and ETF (“registered fund”) business.  The Board considered information showing that the Adviser’s proprietary registered fund business is generally more complex from a business and regulatory perspective than its other domestic and international businesses and considered various relevant factors, such as the broader scope of operations and oversight, more extensive shareholder communication infrastructure, heightened business risks, and differences in applicable laws and regulations associated with the Adviser’s proprietary registered fund business.  In assessing the reasonableness of the fund’s management fee rate, the Board considered the differences in the nature of

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT(continued)
the services required for the Adviser to manage its registered fund business versus managing a discrete pool of assets as a subadviser to another institution’s mutual fund or for an institutional account and that the Adviser generally performs significant additional services and assumes greater risk in managing the fund and other T. Rowe Price funds than it does for institutional account clients, including subadvised funds.
On the basis of the information provided and the factors considered, the Board concluded that the fees paid by the fund under the Advisory Contract are reasonable.
Approval of the Advisory Contract
As noted, the Board approved the continuation of the Advisory Contract.  No single factor was considered in isolation or to be determinative to the decision.  Rather, the Board concluded, in light of a weighting and balancing of all factors considered, that it was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders for the Board to approve the continuation of the Advisory Contract (including the fees to be charged for services thereunder).
