&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;This supplement provides new and additional
information beyond that contained in the Summary Prospectus, Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information and should be read in
conjunction with those documents.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Effective July 1, 2026, Defiance ETFs, LLC (&#x201c;Defiance&#x201d;)
replaced QRAFT Technologies, Inc. (&#x201c;QRAFT Technologies&#x201d;) as the Fund&#x2019;s sponsor. Accordingly, all references to QRAFT
Technologies, with respect to the Fund, are replaced with Defiance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Effective on 60 days&#x2019; notice from the date
of this Supplement on October 19, 2026 (the &#x201c;Effective Date&#x201d;), the name of the Fund will change to Defiance LLM Catalyst Momentum
ETF to reflect the branding of the new sponsor and the ticker will change to AIED. All references to the Fund&#x2019;s prior name and ticker
are replaced with references to the Fund&#x2019;s new name and ticker on the Effective Date. The Fund&#x2019;s Adviser, portfolio managers
and management fee will remain the same.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;As stated in the Prospectus, the policy of the
Fund to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S. large capitalization
companies may be changed without shareholder approval, upon 60 days&#x2019; notice to shareholders. To correspond with the change in the
Fund&#x2019;s name, the changes described below will go into effect on the Effective Date.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;i&gt;On the Effective Date, the first
paragraph under the &#x201c;Principal Investment Strategies&#x201d; section in the Summary Prospectus and Prospectus is deleted in
its entirety and restated as follows:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded
fund (&#x201c;ETF&#x201d;) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by utilizing an investment strategy enhanced by the use of artificial
intelligence, as described below. The Fund&#x2019;s adviser, Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (the &#x201c;Adviser&#x201d;), uses an investment
process based on a proprietary artificial intelligence security selection program that extracts patterns from analyzing data, as discussed
below, developed by QRAFT Technologies, Inc. (&#x201c;Qraft&#x201d;). Qraft is a South Korea-based provider of artificial intelligence investment
systems and currently offers services to various financial institutions in Korea. Qraft has licensed its proprietary artificial intelligence
security selection process to the Adviser for purposes of managing the Fund. This strategy enhances price momentum investing by combining
it with real-time information extracted using large language models. The portfolio construction process emphasizes the most persistent
and statistically reliable momentum signals, targeting securities that exhibit strong continuation characteristics and high participation
in market trends. This is coupled with an AI-driven scoring framework that reads company-specific news and flags developments that are
unusually positive or negative. By combining a quantitative momentum factor with a qualitative, real-time news signal, the strategy aims
to capture stronger momentum opportunities while staying responsive to changing market narratives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 6pt; border-bottom: Black 1.5pt solid"&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0pt"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="break-before: page; margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt"&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0pt"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Fund generally invests in securities of U.S.-listed
large capitalization companies. The Fund defines large capitalization companies as those that, at the time of investment, have a minimum
market capitalization equal to or greater than the minimum market capitalization of a widely recognized index of large capitalization
companies based upon the composition of the index at the time of investment (the &#x201c;Universe&#x201d;). The Fund invests in equity securities
of such companies, including common stock, American Depositary Receipts (&#x201c;ADRs&#x201d;), and Global Depositary Receipts (&#x201c;GDRs&#x201d;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Effective immediately, the following paragraph
replaces the fifth paragraph under the &#x201c;Fund Management&#x201d; section in the Prospectus and replaces the first paragraph under
the &#x201c;Fund Sponsor&#x201d; sub-section under the &#x201c;INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER SERVICES&#x201d; section in the Statement of
Additional Information:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; "&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; "&gt;Defiance ETFs, LLC (&#x201c;Defiance&#x201d;)
is the QRAFT AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap Momentum ETF&#x2019;s sponsor. In connection with an arrangement between the Adviser and Defiance,
Defiance has agreed to assume the Adviser&#x2019;s obligation to pay all expenses of the Fund (except Excluded Expenses) and, to the extent
applicable, pay the Adviser a minimum fee. Defiance will also provide marketing support for the Fund including, but not limited to, distributing
the Fund&#x2019;s materials and providing the Fund with access to and the use of Defiance&#x2019;s other marketing capabilities, including
communications through print and electronic media. For its services, Defiance is entitled to a fee from the Adviser, which is calculated
daily and paid monthly, based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Defiance does not make investment decisions,
provide investment advice, or otherwise act in the capacity of an investment adviser to the Fund.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
