KEATING ACTIVE ETF

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2026 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
 
Keating Active ETF (the “Fund”) is a series of the EA Series Trust (the “Trust”), which was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on October 11, 2013. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and the offering of the Fund’s shares (“Shares”) is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Fund is considered diversified under the 1940 Act. The Fund commenced operations on March 26, 2024. The Fund qualifies as an investment company as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946-Financial Services- Investment Companies. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return which consists of income and capital appreciation. See the Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information regarding the risks of investing in shares of the Fund.

Shares of the Fund are listed and traded on the The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. Market prices for the shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in blocks of 10,000 shares, called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in share amounts less than a Creation Unit. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is a participant of a clearing agency registered with the SEC, which has a written agreement with the Trust or one of its service providers that allows the authorized participant to place orders for the purchase and redemption of creation units. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Fund. Rather, most retail investors may purchase Shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.
Authorized Participants may be required to pay a transaction fee to compensate the Trust or its custodian for costs incurred in connection with creation and redemption transactions. Certain transactions consisting all or partially of cash may also be subject to a variable charge, which is payable to the relevant Fund, of up to 2.00% of the value of the order in addition to the transaction fee. The Fund may determine to waive the variable charge on certain orders when such waiver is determined to be in the best interests of Fund shareholders. Transaction fees received by the Fund, if any, are displayed in the Capital Share Transactions sections of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The end of the reporting period for the Fund is July 31, 2026, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is from February 1, 2026 to July 31, 2026 (the “Current Fiscal Period”).

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

A.Security Valuation. Equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange, except those listed on the NASDAQ Global Market® (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded or NASDAQ security does not trade, then the most recent quoted bid for exchange-traded or the mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask price for NASDAQ securities will be used. Equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are generally valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used. Prices denominated in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the current exchange rate, which approximates fair value. Redeemable securities issued by open-end investment companies are valued at the investment company’s applicable net asset value, with the exception of exchange-traded open-end investment companies which are priced as equity securities. Fair values for debt securities, including asset-backed securities (“ABS”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”), collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”), corporate obligations, whole loans, and mortgage-backed securities

KEATING ACTIVE ETF

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
July 31, 2026 (Unaudited)
(“MBS”) are normally determined on the basis of valuations provided by independent pricing services. Vendors typically value such securities based on one or more inputs, including but not limited to, benchmark yields, transactions, bids, offers, quotations from dealers and trading systems, new issues, spreads and other relationships observed in the markets among comparable securities; and pricing models such as yield measurers calculated using factors such as cash flows, financial or collateral performance and other reference data. In addition to these inputs, MBS and ABS may utilize cash flows, prepayment information, default rates, delinquency and loss assumptions, collateral characteristics, credit enhancements and specific deal information. Reverse repurchase agreements are priced at their acquisition cost, and assessed for credit adjustments, which represents fair value. Futures contracts are carried at fair value using the primary exchange’s closing (settlement) price.

Subject to its oversight, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has delegated primary responsibility for determining or causing to be determined the value of the Fund’s investments to Empowered Funds, LLC dba EA Advisers (the “Adviser”), pursuant to the Trust’s valuation policy and procedures, which have been adopted by the Trust and approved by the Board. In accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board designated the Adviser as the “valuation designee” of the Fund. If the Adviser, as valuation designee, determines that reliable market quotations are not readily available for an investment, the investment is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with the Trust’s fair valuation policy and procedures. The Adviser will provide the Board with periodic reports, no less frequently than quarterly, that discuss the functioning of the valuation process, if applicable, and that identify issues and valuation problems that have arisen, if any. As appropriate, the Adviser and the Board will review any securities valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Trust’s valuation policies during these periodic reports. The use of fair value pricing by the Fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.

As described above, the Fund may use various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The following is a summary of the fair value classification of the Fund’s investments as of the Current Fiscal Period end:

(a)
Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amount presented in the table is intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts listed in the Schedule of Investments.

    Refer to the Schedule of Investments for further disaggregation of investment categories.

During the Current Fiscal Period, the Fund did not invest in any Level 3 investments and recognized no transfers to/from Level 3. Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

B.Foreign Currency. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts using the spot rate of exchange at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund isolates the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. That portion of gains (losses) attributable to the changes in market prices and the portion of gains (losses) attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, if any, would appear on the “Statement of Operations” under “Net realized gain (loss) – Foreign currency translation” and “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) – Foreign currency translation,” respectively, if applicable.

If applicable, the Fund reports net realized foreign exchange gains or losses that arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at the Current Fiscal Period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

C.Federal Income Taxes. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Fund plans to file U.S. Federal and various state and local tax returns.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expenses in the Statements of Operations. During the Current Fiscal Period, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

D.Foreign Taxes. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, capital gains on investments, or certain foreign currency transactions.  All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests. These foreign taxes, if there are any, are paid by the Fund and are reflected in its Statement of Operations. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of the current period end, if any, are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Consistent with U.S. GAAP accrual requirements, for uncertain tax positions, the Fund recognizes tax reclaims when the Fund determines that it is more likely than not that the Fund will sustain its position that it is due the reclaim.

The Fund files withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Fund may record a reclaim receivable based on collectability, which includes factors such as the jurisdiction’s applicable laws, payment history and market convention. The Statement of Operations includes tax reclaims recorded as well as professional and other fees, if any, associated with recovery of foreign withholding taxes.

E.Security Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations.

Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in REITs and MLPs may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain, or return of capital. The proper characterization of such distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, the Fund must use estimates in reporting the character of their income and distributions for financial statement purposes. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. The actual character of distributions to the Fund’s shareholders will be reflected on the Form 1099 received by shareholders after the end of the calendar year. Due to the nature of such investments, a portion of the distributions received by the Fund’s shareholders may represent a Return of Capital.

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income for the Fund are declared and paid on a quarterly basis and distributions to shareholders from net realized gains on securities normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may distribute more frequently, if necessary, for tax purposes.

F.Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

G.Share Valuation. The NAV per share of the Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash and other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Fund’s shares will not be priced on the

days on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed for regular trading. The offering and redemption price per share for the Fund is equal to the Fund’s net asset value per share.

H.Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. Additionally, as is customary, the Trust’s organizational documents permit the Trust to indemnify its officers and trustees against certain liabilities under certain circumstances. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be against the Fund that have not yet occurred. As of the date of this Report, no claim has been made for indemnification pursuant to any such agreement of the Fund. 

I.Segment Reporting: The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The Fund’s adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund’s financial position or results of operations.

The Treasurer (principal financial officer) acts as the Fund’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and is responsible for assessing performance and allocating resources with respect to the Fund. The CODM has concluded that the Fund operates as a single operating segment since the Fund has a single investment strategy as disclosed in its prospectus, against which the CODM assesses performance. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is presented within the Fund’s financial statements.

J.Reclassification of Capital Accounts. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. The Fund’s realized net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions, in which shareholders exchanged Fund shares for securities held by the Fund rather than for cash, are not taxable to the Fund and are not distributed to shareholders. As such, these reclassifications result in adjustments to distributable earnings and paid-in capital accounts. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, the following table shows the reclassifications made: 
Distributable
Earnings
Paid-in

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“Fund Services” or the “Administrator”), doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, acts as the Fund’s Administrator and, in that capacity, performs various administrative and accounting services for the Fund. The Administrator prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports, and returns for the Fund, including regulatory compliance monitoring and financial reporting; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the trustees; and monitors the activities of the Fund’s Custodian, transfer agent, and fund accountant. Fund Services also serves as the transfer agent and fund accountant to the Fund. U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”), an affiliate of the Administrator, serves as the Fund’s Custodian.
 
The Custodian acts as the securities lending agent (the “Securities Lending Agent”) for the Fund.

NOTE 4 – SECURITIES LENDING
 
The Fund may lend up to 331/3% of the value of the securities in its portfolio to brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals) under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by the Securities Lending Agent. The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least 102% of the value of any domestic loaned securities at the time of the loan, plus accrued interest. The use of loans of foreign securities, which are denominated and payable in U.S. dollars, shall be collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan plus accrued interest. The Fund receives compensation in the form of fees and earns interest on the cash collateral. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. The Fund continues to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing period. Gain or loss on the value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of the Fund. The Fund has the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recall the securities from the borrower on demand.

The securities lending agreement provides that, in the event of a borrower’s material default, the Securities Lending Agent shall take all actions the Securities Lending Agent deems appropriate to liquidate the collateral, purchase replacement securities at the Securities Lending Agent’s expense or pay the Fund an amount equal to the market value of the loaned securities, subject to certain limitations which are set forth in detail in the securities lending agreement between the Fund and the Securities Lending Agent.
  
During the Current Fiscal Period, the Fund had loaned securities and received cash collateral for the loans. The cash collateral was invested by the Securities Lending Agent in accordance with the Trust approved investment guidelines. Those guidelines require the cash collateral to be invested in readily marketable, high quality, short-term obligations; however, such investments are subject to risk of payment delays or default on the part of the issuer or counterparty or otherwise may not generate sufficient interest to support the costs associated with securities lending. The Fund could also experience delays in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities, although the Fund is indemnified from this risk by contract with the Securities Lending Agent.

For the Current Fiscal Period, the value of the securities on loan and payable for collateral due to broker were as follows:
 
Value of Securities
on Loan
Payable for
Collateral Received*
$14,006,581 $14,460,215 
 
*
The cash collateral received was invested in the Mount Vernon Liquid Assets Portfolio, LLC as shown on the Schedule of Investments. The investment objective is to seek maximum current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity.

The interest income earned by the Fund on the investment of cash collateral received from borrowers for the securities loaned to them ("Securities Lending Income") is reflected in the Fund's Statement of Operations. Net securities lending income earned on collateral investments and recognized by the Fund during the Current Fiscal Period was $54,351.

The Board (the members of which are referred to as “Trustees”) of the EA Series Trust (the “Trust”) met in-person on the date below to consider the approval of the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund (defined below), and Empowered Funds, LLC dba EA Advisers (the “Adviser”), as well as to consider the approval of the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement (together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) among the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, the Adviser, and the Sub-Adviser (defined below), each for an additional one-year term.
Board Meeting DateFundSub-AdviserReporting Period
3/6/2026Keating Active ETF Keating Investment Counselors, Inc.12/31/2025
In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, reviewed and considered materials furnished by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements. In connection with considering the approval of the Agreements, the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), met in executive session with counsel to the Trust and counsel to the Independent Trustees, who provided assistance and advice. In reaching the decision to approve the continuation of the Agreements, the Board considered and reviewed information provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser at this meeting and throughout the year, including among other things information about their respective personnel, operations, financial condition, and compliance programs. The Board also reviewed the Agreements. During its review and consideration, the Board focused on and reviewed the factors it deemed relevant, including:
Nature, Quality, and Extent of Services. The Board was presented with and considered information concerning the nature, quality, and extent of the overall services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser to the Fund. In this context, the Board considered the responsibilities of the Adviser, recognizing that the Adviser had invested significant time and effort in structuring the Trust and the Fund, and arranging service providers for the Fund. In addition, the Board considered that the Adviser is responsible for providing investment advisory oversight services to the Fund, executing all Fund transactions, monitoring compliance with the Fund’s objectives, policies, and restrictions, and carrying out directives of the Board. The Board also considered the services provided by the Adviser in the oversight of the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and custodian. In addition, the Board evaluated the integrity of each of the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s personnel, the experience of the portfolio management personnel responsible for managing the Fund's assets, and the adequacy of each of the Adviser’s and the Sub-Adviser’s resources to perform the services provided under the Agreements. The Board also considered the Adviser’s ongoing oversight responsibilities vis-à-vis the Sub-Adviser.
Performance. The Board compared the Fund’s performance for periods ended on the Reporting Period End date to that of a peer group of ETFs determined by an independent consultant to the Trust to be highly suitable peers based on factors such as a fund’s strategy, geographic focus, portfolio concentration, and factor analyses. It was noted that the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser have consistently managed the Fund’s portfolio in accordance with its stated investment objective and strategies. The Board noted that, for the one-year and since inception periods, the Fund outperformed the average of its peer group.
Comparative Fees and Expenses. In considering the advisory fees and sub-advisory fees, the Board reviewed and considered the fees in light of the nature, quality, and extent of the services being provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser,



respectively. The Board compared the Fund’s management fee and net expense ratio to those of a peer group of ETFs determined by an independent consultant to the Trust to be highly suitable peers based on factors such as a fund’s strategy, geographic focus, portfolio concentration, and factor analyses. The Board also considered the allocation of fees between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser.
The Board noted that the Fund’s management fee and net expense ratio are above the average for its peer group, but within the range of fees and expenses for the peer group. The Board considered that the Fund’s fees are supported by the Fund holding more concentrated exposure in fewer holdings than any of the funds in the peer group. The Board considered the Fund’s fee arrangement in which the Adviser is responsible for paying most of the Fund’s operating expenses out of its resources, noting that comparisons with the Fund’s overall expense ratio may be more relevant than comparisons to management fees only.
With respect to the sub-advisory fee, the Board noted that it was payable solely by the Adviser. The Board considered the representations from the Adviser that it does not manage any other accounts that follow a strategy similar to that of the Fund. As it relates to the Sub-Adviser, the Board noted that the Sub-Adviser charges its separately managed account clients a higher fee for a strategy similar to that of the Fund’s.
Costs and Profitability. The Board further considered information regarding the potential profits, if any, that may be realized by each of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser in connection with providing their respective services to the Fund. The Board reviewed the profit and loss information provided by the Adviser with respect to the Fund and considered the Adviser’s profitability with respect to providing investment advisory services as well as non-advisory services. The Board also reviewed the same type of information provided by the Sub-Adviser. The Board discussed the financial condition of the Sub-Adviser, noting that the Sub-Adviser has sufficient capital to perform its obligations to the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional annual period. The Board also reviewed the Sub-Adviser's costs associated with the personnel, systems, and equipment necessary to manage the Fund and to meet the regulatory and compliance requirements adopted by the SEC and other regulatory bodies.
The Board also considered other expenses of the Fund the Adviser would pay in accordance with the Advisory Agreement. The Board took into consideration that, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser agreed to pay all expenses incurred by the Fund except for the fees paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, payments under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1, brokerage expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest (including borrowing costs), the fees and expenses associated with the Fund’s securities lending program, litigation expenses and other non-routine or extraordinary expenses. The Board also considered the respective financial obligations of the Adviser, as well as the Sub-Adviser, which serves as the sponsor of the Fund. The Board concluded that the methodologies used by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser to determine their profitability were reasonable, and the Board was satisfied that any profits realized by each firm in connection with the operation of the Fund were not excessive.
Other Benefits. The Board further considered the extent to which the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser might derive ancillary benefits from the Fund’s operations. In addition, the Adviser may benefit from continued growth in the Trust by potentially negotiating better fee arrangements with key vendors serving the Fund and other series in the Trust.
Economies of Scale. The Board also considered whether economies of scale would be realized by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser as the Fund’s assets increase, including the extent to which this is reflected in the level of fees to be charged. The Board also noted that the advisory and sub-advisory fees do not include breakpoints but concluded that it was premature to meaningfully evaluate potential economies of scale given the Fund’s current level of assets.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the continuation of the Agreements for an additional annual term; rather, the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined that the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the compensation payable under each Agreement, were fair and reasonable to the Fund. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined that the approval of the continuation of each of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
