&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 40.5pt"&gt;On August 28, 2026, the shareholders
of the Wellington Shields All-Cap Fund, a series of Capital Management Investment Trust (the &#x201c;Trust&#x201d;), approved a new investment
advisory agreement (the &#x201c;New Advisory Agreement&#x201d;) between the Trust and Wellington Shields Capital Management, LLC (&#x201c;WSCM&#x201d;),
the proposed new investment adviser, on behalf of the Fund.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 40.5pt"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 40.5pt"&gt;The &#x201c;New Advisory Agreement&#x201d;
has a lower advisory fee than the current investment advisory agreement (&#x201c;Current Agreement&#x201d;), but otherwise there are no
material differences between the agreements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 40.5pt"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 40.5pt"&gt;In connection with the execution
of the New Advisory Agreement between the Trust and WSCM, a new Expense Limitation Agreement was executed by WSCM on behalf of the Fund,
whereby WSCM has contractually agreed, until March 31, 2028, to continue reducing its management fees and to pay the Fund&#x2019;s ordinary
operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit Annual Fund Operating Expenses to an amount not exceeding 1.25% of the Fund&#x2019;s
average daily net assets.&lt;/p&gt;
