***************
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“Goldman Sachs”) has entered into an agreement to acquire Neos Investments LLC, the parent company of NEOS Investment Management, LLC (“NEOS”). NEOS serves as investment adviser for the series of NEOS ETF Trust (the “Trust,” and the series thereof, the “Funds”). In connection with the acquisition, shareholders of the Funds will be asked to approve: (1) a new investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, and NEOS; and (2) the election of nominees to the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Proposals”).
The NEOS ETF Trust and its trustees, officers and nominees for trustees, NEOS and its affiliates and their officers and employees, and other persons, including Goldman Sachs and certain of its affiliates, are considered participants in the solicitation of votes (the “Participants”) in the forthcoming proxy statement. More detailed information regarding the Participants, including a description of their direct and indirect interests in the proposed transaction, by security holdings or otherwise, will be included in the proxy statement and other relevant documents to be filed with the SEC.
This communication is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell securities. On or about August 17, 2026, the Trust on behalf of its series (the “Funds”) will file with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A. The information in the preliminary proxy statement will not be complete and may be changed. Investors and security holders are strongly advised to read the proxy statement and the related materials on Schedule 14A that will be filed by the Trust with the SEC because they will contain important information. These documents will be available at no charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the proxy statement (once it becomes available) may be obtained free of charge at www.neosfunds.com.
These materials may contain forward-looking statements relating to the business and financial outlook of the Funds that are based on the Funds' current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections and are not guarantees of future performance. There is no assurance that a Fund will achieve its investment objective. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on any such statements. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in these materials.
