Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the Boards of the Predecessor Fund and the ETF, the reorganization of the Predecessor Fund consisted of (1) the transfer of substantially all of the Predecessor Fund’s assets, subject to its liabilities, to the ETF in return for shares of the ETF; and (2) the distribution of the ETF shares to the Predecessor Fund’s shareholders in complete liquidation of the Predecessor Fund. The ETF began trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. on November 10, 2025.
