NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

 

The Return Stacked Bonds & Futures Yield ETF (the “RSBY ETF”), the Return Stacked Bonds & Managed Futures ETF (the “RSBT ETF”), the Return Stacked Bonds & Merger Arbitrage ETF (the “RSBA ETF”), the Return Stacked Global Stocks & Bonds ETF (the “RSSB ETF”), the Return Stacked International Stocks & Managed Futures ETF (the “RSIT ETF”), the Return Stacked U.S. Stocks & Futures Yield ETF (the “RSSY ETF”), the Return Stacked U.S. Stocks & Gold/Bitcoin ETF (the “RSSX ETF”), and the Return Stacked U.S. Stocks & Managed Futures ETF (the “RSST ETF”) (each a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) are each a non-diversified series of Tidal Trust II (the “Trust”). The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on January 13, 2022. 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 Funds’ shares (“Shares”) is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Trust is governed by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Tidal Investments LLC (“Tidal Investments” or the “Adviser”), a Tidal Financial Group company, serves as investment adviser to the Funds and Newfound Research LLC (“Newfound”) and ReSolve Asset Management Inc. (“RAM”) (each a “Sub- Adviser”) serve as investment sub-adviser to the Funds. ReSolve Asset Management SEZC (Cayman) (“ReSolve” or “Futures Trading Advisor”) serves as futures trading advisor to RSBY ETF, RSBT ETF, RSIT ETF, RSSY ETF, RSSX ETF and RSST ETF and their respective Subsidiaries. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.” The RSBY ETF commenced operations on August 20, 2024, the RSBT ETF commenced operations on February 7, 2023, the RSBA ETF commenced operations on December 17, 2024, the RSSB ETF commenced operations on December 4, 2023, the RSIT ETF commenced operations on May 5, 2026, the RSSY ETF commenced operations on May 28, 2024, the RSSX ETF commenced operations on May 29, 2025, and the RSST ETF commenced operations on September 5, 2023.

 

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

 

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Security Valuation - Equity securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“NASDAQ”)), including securities traded over-the-counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on the valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 p.m. EST if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price or mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask prices for long and short positions, respectively. For a security that trades on multiple exchanges, the primary exchange will generally be considered the exchange on which the security is generally most actively traded. For securities traded on the NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Prices of securities traded on the securities exchange will be obtained from recognized independent pricing agents each day that the Funds are open for business.

 

Investments in money market mutual funds are valued at each underlying fund’s published net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of the valuation time. Each underlying money market fund calculates NAV using the amortized cost method (which approximates fair value) as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act.

Notes to the Financial Statements

 

July 31, 2026 (Unaudited)

 

Futures contracts are priced by an approved independent pricing service. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price on the exchange on which they are principally traded.

 

Swap contract terms are agreed among the counterparty and the Adviser. Total return swap contracts are valued using the closing price of the underlying reference asset, which may include individual stocks, baskets of securities, market indices, exchange-traded funds, or other instruments that the contract is tracking.

 

Under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, a fair value will be determined for securities for which quotations are not readily available by the Valuation Designee (as defined in Rule 2a-5) in accordance with the Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures, as applicable, of the Adviser, subject to oversight by the Board. When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the Adviser’s Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures, as applicable. Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security. The use of fair value pricing by a Fund may cause the NAV of its shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.

 

As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. 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 Funds have 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 Funds’ 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.

Derivative Instruments - The Funds have provided additional disclosures below regarding derivatives and hedging activity intending to improve financial reporting by enabling investors to understand how and why the Funds use futures contracts (a type of derivative), how they are accounted for and how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. The Funds may use derivatives for risk management purposes or as part of their investment strategies. Derivatives are financial contracts whose values depend on, or are derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. A Fund may use derivatives to earn income and enhance returns, to hedge or adjust the risk profile of its portfolio, to replace more traditional direct investments and to obtain exposure to otherwise inaccessible markets.

 

The average notional amount for futures contracts is based on the monthly notional amounts. The notional amount for futures contracts represents the U.S. dollar value of the contract as of the day of opening the transaction or latest contract reset date. Each Fund’s average net notional value of futures contracts outstanding during the period ended July 31, 2026 was:

 

Fund  Instrument  Average Notional Amount 
RSBY ETF  Long Futures Contracts  $  168,404,697 
   Short Futures Contracts   78,959,568 
         
RSBT ETF  Long Futures Contracts   158,254,547 
   Short Futures Contracts   212,432,287

All Funds may enter into total return swap agreements in an attempt to gain exposure to the securities in a market without actually purchasing those securities, or to hedge a position. During the period, only RSBA ETF entered into total return swaps contracts. A total return swap is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in market value of the assets underlying the contract, which may include a specified security, basket of securities, or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the total return from other underlying assets. Swap agreements will usually be done on a net basis, i.e., where the two parties make net payments with a Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. The return on the swap contract should be the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends on the securities less the interest and commission paid by the Fund on the notional amount. Payments may be made at the conclusion of the contract or periodically during its term. In certain instances, market factors such as the interest rate environment and the demand to borrow the securities underlying the swap agreement can cause a scenario in which the counterparty will pay the Fund interest. These swap contracts do not include the delivery of securities by the Fund to the counterparty. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Fund’s obligations owed over its entitlement with respect to each swap is accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash or liquid assets having an aggregate net asset value at least equal to such accrued excess is maintained in a segregated account by the Funds’ custodian. Until a swap contract is settled in cash, the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends on the securities less the interest paid by the Fund on the notional amount are recorded as “unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swaps” and when cash is exchanged, the gain or loss is recorded as “realized gains or losses on swaps”.

 

The RSBA ETF’s average net notional value of total return swap contracts during the period ended July 31, 2026 was $4,881,157.

The total return swap contracts are subject to master netting agreements, which are agreements between RSBA ETF and its swap counterparty that provide for the net settlement of all transactions and collateral with the Fund through a single payment, in the event of default or termination. Amounts presented on the Schedules of Total Return Swap Contracts are gross settlement amounts.

 

Under the master netting agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant master netting agreements with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of master netting agreements.

Federal Income Taxes - Each Fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) and intends to distribute substantially all taxable income to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to RICs. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.

 

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to RICs, the Funds intend to declare as dividends in each calendar year, at least 98% of their net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and at least 98.2% of their net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years. As a RIC, each Fund is subject to a 4% excise tax that is imposed if a Fund does not distribute by the end of any calendar year at least the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gain or loss) for the calendar year and (ii) 98.2% of its capital gain in excess of its capital loss (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one- year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made to use the Funds' fiscal year). The Funds generally intend to distribute income and capital gains in the manner necessary to minimize (but not necessarily eliminate) the imposition of such excise tax. The Funds may retain income or capital gains and pay excise tax when it is determined that doing so is in the best interest of shareholders. Management evaluates the costs of the excise tax relative to the benefits of retaining income and capital gains, including that such undistributed amounts (net of the excise tax paid) remain available for investment by the Funds and are available to supplement future distributions. Tax expense is disclosed in the Statements of Operations, if applicable.

 

As of July 31, 2026, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns filed for the last three years. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Delaware; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations.

 

Securities 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. Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Other non-cash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Futures Contracts - The Funds may purchase futures contracts to gain long exposure to long-term U.S. Treasury bonds, commodities, foreign Government bonds, foreign stock indexes, and U.S. stock indexes. The purchase of futures contracts may be more efficient or cost-effective than buying the underlying securities or assets. A futures contract is an agreement that obligates the buyer to buy and the seller to sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset (or settle for cash the value of a contract based on an underlying asset, rate, or index) at a specific price on the contract maturity date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to pledge to the counterparty an amount of cash, U.S. Government securities or other high-quality debt securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange or the broker. Thereafter, a “variation margin” amount may be required to be paid by the Funds or received by the Funds in accordance with margin controls set for such accounts, depending upon changes in the marked-to-market value of the futures contract. The account is marked-to -market daily and the variation margin is monitored by the Adviser and Custodian (defined below) on a daily basis. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Funds will cover their current obligations under futures contracts by the segregation of liquid assets or by entering into offsetting transactions or owning positions covering their obligations. The Funds’ use of futures contracts may involve risks that are different from, or possibly greater than, the risk associated with investing directly in securities or other more traditional instruments. These risks include the risk that the value of the futures contracts may not correlate perfectly, or at all, with the value of the assets, reference rates, or indices that they are designed to track. Other risks include: an illiquid secondary market for a particular instrument and possible exchange-imposed price fluctuation limits, either of which may make it difficult or impossible to close out a position when desired; the risk that adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a loss substantially greater than a Fund’s initial investment in that instrument (in some cases, the potential loss is unlimited); and the risk that a counterparty will not perform its obligations. The Funds had futures contracts activity during the period ended July 31, 2026. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statements of Operations. The futures contracts held by the Funds are exchange-traded with Phillip Capital, Inc. acting as the futures commission merchant.

 

Foreign Currency - Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts 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 Funds do not isolate that 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. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

 

The Funds report 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 Funds' 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 period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Basis for Consolidation for the Funds - The RSBY ETF, RSBT ETF, RSIT ETF, RSSY ETF, RSSX ETF, and RSST ETF invest in the Return Stacked RSBY Cayman Subsidiary (“RSBY CFC”), Return Stacked Cayman Subsidiary (“RSBT CFC”), Return Stacked RSIT Cayman Subsidiary (“RSIT CFC”), Return Stacked RSSY Cayman Subsidiary (“RSSY CFC”), Return Stacked RSSX Cayman Subsidiary (“RSSX CFC”), and Return Stacked RSST Cayman Subsidiary (“RSST CFC”), respectively (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”). Each Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in its respective Subsidiary. The Subsidiaries will generally invest in futures contracts that do not generate “qualifying income” under the source of income test required to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Unlike the Funds, the Subsidiaries may invest without limitation in futures contracts; however, the Subsidiaries will comply with the same 1940 Act requirements that are applicable to the Funds’ transactions in derivatives. In addition, the Subsidiaries will be subject to the same fundamental investment restrictions and will follow the same compliance policies and procedures as the Funds. Unlike the Funds, the Subsidiaries will not seek to qualify as RICs under the Code. The Funds are the sole investor in their respective Subsidiaries and do not expect the shares of the Subsidiaries to be offered or sold to other investors. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation of the Funds and their Subsidiaries.

 

Each Fund’s investment in its subsidiary as of July 31, 2026 was as follows:

 

Fund Subsidiary Net Assets Percentage of Net Assets
RSBY ETF RSBY CFC $2,462,448 4.0%
RSBT ETF RSBT CFC $1,893,688 1.4%
RSIT ETF RSIT CFC $1,002,704 1.6%
RSSY ETF RSSY CFC $3,756,327 4.1%
RSSX ETF RSSX CFC $10,500,473 17.3%
RSST ETF RSST CFC $6,903,822 1.4%

 

Derivatives Transactions - Pursuant to Rule 18f -4 under the 1940 Act, the SEC imposes limits on the amount of derivatives a fund can enter into, eliminates the asset segregation and cover framework arising from prior SEC guidance for covering derivatives and certain financial instruments currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act and treats derivatives as senior securities. Under Rule 18f- 4, a fund’s derivatives exposure is limited through a value-at-risk test. Funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure amount are required to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program, subject to oversight by a fund’s board of trustees, and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Funds have implemented a Rule 18f-4 Derivative Risk Management Program that complies with Rule 18f-4.

 

Deposits at Broker for Futures - Deposits at broker for futures represent amounts that are held by third parties under certain of the Fund’s derivative transactions. Such cash is excluded from cash and equivalents in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Cash and cash equivalents and deposits at broker are subject to credit risk to the extent those balances exceed applicable Securities Investor Protection Corporations ("SIPC") or Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") limitations.

 

Short Sales – The RSBA ETF may make short sales as part of its overall portfolio management strategy or to offset a potential decline in value of a security. A short sale involves the sale of a security that is borrowed from a broker or other institution to complete the sale. The RSBA ETF may engage in short sales with respect to securities it owns, as well as securities that it does not own. Short sales expose the RSBA ETF to the risk that it will be required to acquire, convert or exchange securities to replace the borrowed security (also known as “covering” the short position) at a time when the security sold short has appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the RSBA ETF. The RSBA ETF’s investment performance may also suffer if the RSBA ETF is required to close out a short position earlier than it had intended. The RSBA ETF must segregate assets determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures established by the Board, or otherwise cover its positions in a permissible manner. The RSBA ETF will be required to pledge its liquid assets to the broker to secure its performance on short sales. As a result, the assets pledged may not be available to meet the RSBA ETFs need for immediate cash or other liquidity. In addition, the RSBA ETF may be subject to expenses related to short sales that are not typically associated with investing in securities directly, such as costs of borrowing and margin account maintenance costs associated with the RSBA ETF’s open short positions. These types of short sale expenses are sometimes referred to as the “negative cost of carry,” and will tend to cause the RSBA ETF to lose money on a short sale even in instances where the price of the security sold short does not change over the duration of the short sale. Dividend expenses on securities sold short will be borne by the shareholders of the RSBA ETF.

Distributions to Shareholders - Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, for the Funds are declared and paid annually. Distributions to shareholders from net realized gains on securities, if any, for the Funds normally are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

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

 

Share Valuation - The NAV per Share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities by the total number of Shares outstanding for each Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. Fund Shares will not be priced on the days on which the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe BZX”) is closed for trading.

 

Guarantees and Indemnifications - In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

 

Illiquid Securities - Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Board-approved Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) that requires, among other things, that each Fund limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of the value of the Fund’s net assets. An illiquid investment is any security that a Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. If a Fund should be in a position where the value of illiquid investments held by a Fund exceeds 15% of the Fund’s net assets, the Fund will take such steps as set forth in the Program.

 

NOTE 3 - PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

 

Bitcoin Investment Risks (RSSX ETF Only). The Fund’s indirect investment in bitcoin, through investment in bitcoin futures, swaps and/or bitcoin Underlying Funds, exposes it to the unique risks of this emerging innovation. Bitcoin’s price is highly volatile, and its market is influenced by the changing bitcoin network, fluctuating acceptance levels, and unpredictable usage trends. Not being a legal tender and operating outside central authority systems like banks, bitcoin faces potential government restrictions. For instance, some countries may limit or ban bitcoin transactions, negatively impacting its market value.

 

The risks associated with bitcoin include the possibility of fraud, theft, market manipulation, and security breaches in trading platforms. A small group of large bitcoin holders, known as “whales,” can significantly influence bitcoin’s price and may have the ability to manipulate the price. The largely unregulated nature of bitcoin and its trading venues heightens risks of fraudulent activities and market manipulation, which could affect bitcoin’s price. For example, if a group of miners gains control over a majority of the bitcoin network, they could manipulate transactions to their advantage. Historical instances have seen bitcoin trading venues shut down due to fraud or security breaches, often leaving investors without recourse and facing significant losses.

Notes to the Financial Statements

 

July 31, 2026 (Unaudited)

 

Updates to bitcoin’s software, proposed by developers, can lead to the creation of new digital assets, or “forks,” if not broadly adopted. This can impact bitcoin’s demand and the Fund’s performance. The extreme volatility of bitcoin’s market price can result in shareholder losses. Furthermore, the operation of bitcoin trading platforms may be disrupted or cease altogether due to various issues, further affecting bitcoin’s price and the Fund’s investments.

 

The value of bitcoin has historically been subject to significant speculation, making trading and investing in bitcoin reliant on market sentiment rather than traditional fundamental analysis.

 

Bitcoin’s price can be influenced by events unrelated to its security or utility, including instability in other speculative areas of the crypto/blockchain space, potentially leading to substantial declines in its value.

 

Risks associated with crypto asset trading platforms include fragmentation, regulatory non-compliance, and the possibility of enforcement actions by regulatory authorities, which could impact the valuation of bitcoin-linked derivatives held by the Fund.

 

The security of the Bitcoin Blockchain may be compromised if a single miner or group controls more than 50% of the network’s hashing power, where hashing power refers to the computational capacity used to validate and secure transactions on the blockchain.

 

Proposed changes to the bitcoin protocol may not be universally adopted, leading to the creation of competing blockchains (forks) with different assets and participants, exemplified by past forks like Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV.

 

The Bitcoin Blockchain protocol may contain vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit to disrupt its operation, potentially compromising the security and reliability of the network.

 

Emerging alternative public blockchains, particularly those emphasizing privacy through technologies like zero-knowledge cryptography, pose risks and challenges to the dominance of the Bitcoin Blockchain as a payment system.

 

Common impediments to adopting the Bitcoin Blockchain as a payment network include slow transaction processing, variability in transaction fees, and the volatility of bitcoin’s price, which may deter widespread adoption by businesses and consumers.

 

The development and use of “Layer II solutions” are critical for the scalability and functionality of the Bitcoin Blockchain, but they also introduce risks such as off-chain transaction execution, which could affect transparency and security. Layer II solutions are off -chain protocols that improve scalability and reduce transaction costs by processing transactions outside the main blockchain network.

 

Adoption and use of other blockchains supporting advanced applications like smart contracts present challenges to the dominance of the Bitcoin Blockchain, potentially impacting its long-term relevance and utility in the evolving landscape of blockchain technology.

Notes to the Financial Statements

 

July 31, 2026 (Unaudited)

 

The Fund’s strategy may be harmed to the extent bitcoin is viewed less as a risk asset, and more as, like gold, a safe haven asset, resulting in the two assets having a much higher correlation and a less stable investment trajectory for the Fund.

 

●Digital Assets Risk. Digital assets like bitcoin, designed as mediums of exchange, are still an emerging asset class and are not presently widely used as such. They operate independently of any central authority or government backing and are subject to regulatory changes and extreme price volatility. The trading platforms for digital assets are relatively new, largely unregulated or possibly operating out of compliance with regulations, and thus more vulnerable to fraud and failures compared to traditional, regulated exchanges. Shutdowns of these platforms due to fraud, technical glitches, or security issues can significantly affect digital asset prices and market volatility.

 

●Digital Asset Markets Risk. The digital asset market, particularly bitcoin, has experienced considerable volatility, leading to market disruptions and erosion of confidence among market participants. This instability and the resultant negative publicity could adversely affect the Fund’s reputation and trading prices. Ongoing market turbulence could significantly impact the value of the Fund’s share.

 

●Blockchain Technology Risk. Blockchain technology, which underpins bitcoin and other digital assets, is relatively new, and many of its applications are untested. The adoption of blockchain and the development of competing platforms or technologies could affect its usage. Investments in companies or vehicles that utilize blockchain technology are subject to market volatility and may experience lower trading volumes compared to more established industries. Additionally, regulatory changes, internet disruptions, cybersecurity incidents, and intellectual property disputes could further affect the adoption and functionality of blockchain technology.

 

Bond Risks (All Funds) . The Funds will be subject to bond and fixed income risks through their investments in U.S. Treasury securities, broad- based bond ETFs, U.S. Treasury and fixed income futures contracts, as well as swaps. Changes in interest rates generally will cause the value of fixed- income and bond instruments held by the Funds (or underlying ETFs) to vary inversely to such changes. Prices of longer-term fixed-income instruments generally fluctuate more than the prices of shorter-term fixed income instruments as interest rates change. Fixed-income instruments that are fixed-rate are generally more susceptible than floating rate loans to price volatility related to changes in prevailing interest rates. The prices of floating rate fixed-income instruments tend to have less fluctuation in response to changes in interest rates, but will have some fluctuation, particularly when the next interest rate adjustment on such security is further away in time or adjustments are limited in amount over time. The Funds (or underlying ETFs) may invest in short-term securities that, when interest rates decline, affect the Funds’ (or underlying ETFs’) yields as these securities mature or are sold and the Funds (or underlying ETFs) purchase new short-term securities with lower yields. An obligor’s willingness and ability to pay interest or to repay principal due in a timely manner may be affected by, among other factors, its cash flow.

 

Cayman Subsidiary Risk (RSBY ETF, RSBT ETF, RSIT ETF, RSSY ETF, RSSX ETF and RSST ETF Only). By investing in the Subsidiary, the Funds are indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The futures contracts and other investments held by the Subsidiary are subject to the same economic risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Funds. The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act, and, unless otherwise noted in this Prospectus, is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Funds and/or the Subsidiary to continue their current operations and could adversely affect the Funds. For example, the Cayman Islands does not currently impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax or withholding tax on the Subsidiary. If Cayman Islands law changes such that the Subsidiary must pay Cayman Islands taxes, the Funds’ shareholders would likely suffer decreased investment returns. In addition, the Subsidiary is also subject to many of the risks to which each Fund is subject, such as tax risks, commodity related risks, and market and data risks.

Derivatives Risk (All Funds) . Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. The Funds’ investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other ordinary investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect correlation with underlying investments or the Funds’ other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than directly investing in the underlying reference asset(s). Because derivatives often require only a limited initial investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Funds to losses in excess of those amounts initially invested. In addition, the Funds’ investments in derivatives are subject to the following risks:

 

●Futures Contracts (All Funds). Risks of futures contracts include: (i) an imperfect correlation between the value of the futures contract and the underlying asset; (ii) possible lack of a liquid secondary market; (iii) the inability to close a futures contract when desired; (iv) losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which may be unlimited; (v) an obligation for the Funds to make daily cash payments to maintain their required margins, particularly at times when the Funds may have insufficient cash; and (vi) unfavorable execution prices from rapid selling.

 

●Options Contracts (RSBA ETF Only). The use of options contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political and economic events, changes in the actual or implied volatility of the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract.

 

●Swap Agreements (All Funds). Swap agreements involve the risk that the parties with whom the Funds have entered into swaps will default on their obligations to pay the Funds. Additionally, certain unexpected market events or significant adverse market movements could result in the Funds not holding enough assets to be able to meet their obligations under the agreements. Such occurrences may negatively impact the Funds’ ability to implement their principal investment strategies and could result in losses to the Funds.

 

Equity Market Risk (All Funds). By virtue of the Funds’ investments in or exposure to equity securities, the Funds are subject to equity market risk. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from specific issuers. Equity securities may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Funds invest.

 

Gold Investment Risks (RSSX ETF Only). The Fund will not invest directly in gold but will gain exposure through gold futures and/or swap contracts and gold Underlying Funds. These investments are subject to significant risk due to the inherent volatility and unpredictability of the commodities markets. The value of these investments is typically derived from the price movements of physical gold or related economic variables. Price fluctuations in gold linked instruments can be swift and substantial, often showing a low correlation with the returns of traditional equity and bond markets and may not align with trends in other asset classes.

Numerous factors can influence the price of gold, including overall market movements, interest rate changes, and variations in global supply and demand. Additionally, the volume of gold imports and exports, production factors such as weather conditions, and technological advances in gold processing and mining can significantly impact gold prices. Increased hedging activities, economic conditions, regulatory developments, and political stability also play crucial roles. Furthermore, global supply and demand dynamics, political and economic events, inflation expectations, currency exchange rates, and investment activities of hedge funds and commodity funds can all affect gold prices. Sharp fluctuations in gold markets may result in potential losses. In addition, gold markets have experienced extended periods of flat or declining prices. Investors should also be aware that while gold is often used to preserve wealth, there is no assurance that it will maintain its long-term value in terms of purchasing power.

 

Market Capitalization Risk (RSBA ETF, RSIT ETF, RSSY ETF, RSSX ETF and RSST ETF Only).

 

●Large-Capitalization Investing. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. Large-capitalization companies may also be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes.

 

●Mid-Capitalization Investing. The securities of mid-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of large-capitalization companies. The securities of mid-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than large-capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole.

 

●Small-Capitalization Investing. The securities of small-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of large- or mid-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than large- or mid-capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. There is typically less publicly available information concerning smaller-capitalization companies than for larger, more established companies.

 

Underlying Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”) Risks (All Funds). The Funds will incur higher and duplicative expenses because they invest in other ETFs (e.g., Global equity ETFs). There is also the risk that the Funds may suffer losses due to the investment practices of the underlying ETFs. The Funds will be subject to substantially the same risks as those associated with the direct ownership of securities held by the underlying ETFs. Additionally, underlying ETFs are also subject to the “ETF Risks” described in the above Funds’ prospectuses.

 

As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your principal investment in the Funds. The Funds are subject to the above principal risks, as well as other principal risks which may adversely affect each Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and/or ability to meet their objectives. For more information about the risks of investing in the Funds, see the section in each Fund’s Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Fund — Principal Investment Risks.”

(a) Prior to April 27, 2026, the Adviser had contractually agreed to waive its Investment Advisory Fee for the RSSB ETF to 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Effective April 27, 2026, the fee waiver agreement was terminated by the Board and the Fund’s Investment Advisory Fee was reduced to 0.35%. Any Investment Advisory Fees waived with respect to the RSSB ETF are not subject to reimbursement to the Adviser by the Fund.

For assuming the payment obligation, the Adviser has agreed to pay to the Sub-Adviser and ReSolve a corresponding share of the profits, if any, generated by the Funds’ Investment Advisory Fees, less a contractual fee retained by the Adviser. Expenses incurred by the Funds and paid by the Sub-Adviser include fees charged by Tidal ETF Services LLC (“Tidal”), a Tidal Financial Group company and an affiliated of the Adviser.

For its services as investment sub-adviser, RAM is entitled to receive a fee from the Adviser, which the fee is calculated daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.04% (RSBY ETF, RSBT ETF, RSSB ETF, RSIT ETF, RSSY ETF and RSST ETF) and 0.05% (RSBA ETF and RSSX ETF) of each Fund's average daily net assets (the “Sub-Advisory Fee”).

Notes to the Financial Statements

 

July 31, 2026 (Unaudited)

 

Certain officers and a trustee of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser. Neither the affiliated trustee nor the Trust’s officers receive compensation from the Funds.

 

The Board has adopted a Distribution (Rule 12b-1) Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b- 1 under the 1940 Act. In accordance with the Plan, the Funds are authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of their average daily net assets each year to pay distribution fees for the sale and distribution of their Shares. No Rule 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Funds, and there are no plans to impose these fees. However, in the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, because the fees are paid out of each Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than certain other types of sales charges.

 

NOTE 5 - SEGMENT REPORTING

 

In accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023 -07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), each Fund has evaluated its business activities and determined that it operates as a single reportable segment.

 

Each Fund's investment activities are managed by the Principal Financial Officer, who serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The Principal Financial Officer is responsible for assessing each Fund’s financial performance and allocating resources. In making these assessments, the Principal Financial Officer evaluates each Fund’s financial results on an aggregated basis, rather than by separate segments. As such, the Funds do not allocate operating expenses or assets to multiple segments, and accordingly, no additional segment disclosures are required.

 

The Funds primarily generate income through dividends, interest, and realized/unrealized gains on their investment portfolios. Expenses incurred, including management fees, Fund operating expenses, and transaction costs, are considered general Fund-level expenses and are not allocated to specific segments or business lines.

 

Management has determined that the Funds do not meet the criteria for disaggregated segment reporting under ASU 2023-07 and will continue to evaluate their reporting requirements in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

NOTE 8 - SHARES TRANSACTIONS

 

Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX. Market prices for the Shares may be different from their NAV. The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV, generally in large blocks of 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. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, Shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Creation Units may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. 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 Funds. 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.

 

Each Fund currently offers one class of Shares, which have no front-end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee. A fixed transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or sale of Creation Units. The standard fixed transaction fee for each Fund is $300, payable to the Custodian. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain orders if the Funds’ Custodian has determined to waive some or all of the costs associated with the order or another party, such as the Adviser, has agreed to pay such fee. In addition, a variable fee may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units and Redemption Units of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation Units and Redemption Units subject to the transaction. Variable fees are imposed to compensate the Funds for transaction costs associated with the cash transactions. Variable fees received by the Funds, if any, are disclosed in the capital shares transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The Funds may issue an unlimited number of Shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All Shares of the Funds have equal rights and privileges.

NOTE 9 - RECENT MARKET EVENTS

 

U.S. and international markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including uncertainty regarding inflation and central banks’ interest rate changes, the possibility of a national or global recession, trade tensions and tariffs, political events, armed conflict, war, and geopolitical conflict. These developments, as well as other events, could result in further market volatility and negatively affect financial asset prices, the liquidity of certain securities and the normal operations of securities exchanges and other markets, despite government efforts to address market disruptions. As a result, the risk environment remains elevated. The Adviser and Sub-Adviser will monitor developments and seek to manage the Funds in a manner consistent with achieving each Fund's investment objective, but there can be no assurance that they will be successful in doing so.

 

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. Management has determined that there are no subsequent events that would need to be recognized or disclosed in the Funds' consolidated financial statements.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract.

 

APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS AND BOARD CONSIDERATIONS

 

Pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), at a meeting held on March 12, 2026, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Tidal Trust II (the “Trust”) considered the approval of:

 

●the Investment Advisory Agreements (each, an “Advisory Agreement”) between Tidal Investments LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust, on behalf of each New Fund;
●the amended Advisory Agreement (the Return Stacked Advisory Agreement”) between the Adviser and the Trust on behalf of the Return Stacked ETFs
●the Amended Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “ReSolve Cayman Sub-Advisory Agreement” between the Adviser and ReSolve Asset Management SEZC (Cayman) on behalf of the Return Stacked ETFs;
●the Amended Futures Trading Agreement (the “Futures Trading Agreement” between the Adviser and ReSolve Asset Management SEZC (Cayman) on behalf of the Return Stacked ETFs
●the Subsidiary Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (the “ReSolve Subsidiary Sub-Advisory Agreements” between the Adviser and ReSolve Asset Management SEZC (Cayman) on behalf of the Return Stacked Subsidiaries;
●the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” between the Adviser and ReSolve Asset Management Inc. (“RAM”) on behalf of the Return Stacked ETFs.

 

 

 

 

●the Subsidiary Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements (the “RAM Subsidiary Sub-Advisory Agreement” between the Adviser and ReSolve Asset Management Inc. (“RAM”) on behalf of the Return Stacked Subsidiaries

 

Pursuant to Section 15 of the 1940 Act, the Agreements must be approved by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Agreements or “interested persons” of any party thereto, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. It was noted that in accordance with the SEC’s temporary exemptive relief for in-person approvals, these approvals shall be ratified at the next in-person Board meeting. In preparation for such meeting, the Board requested and reviewed a wide variety of information from the Adviser.

 

In reaching its decision, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered all factors it believed relevant, including: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to each Fund’s shareholders by the Adviser (and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETFs); (ii) the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser from services to be provided to the Funds (and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETFs), including any fall-out benefits; (iii) comparative fee and expense data for each Fund in relation to other investment companies with similar investment objectives; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each Fund grows and whether the advisory fees for the Fund reflects these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund; and (v) other financial benefits to the Adviser (and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETFs), and their affiliates resulting from services rendered to the Funds. The Board’s review included written and oral information furnished to the Board prior to and at the meeting held on March 12, 2026. Among other things, the Adviser (and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETFs), provided responses to a detailed series of questions, which included information about the Adviser’s, (and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETFs), operations, service offerings, personnel, compliance program and financial condition. The Board then discussed the written and oral information that it received before the meeting, and the Adviser’s, (and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETFs), oral presentations and any other information that the Board received at the meeting and deliberated on the initial approval of the Agreements in light of this information.

 

The Independent Trustees were assisted throughout the contract review process by independent legal counsel. The Independent Trustees relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the approval of the Agreements, and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to the Agreements were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each Fund. The Independent Trustees conferred amongst themselves and independent legal counsel in executive sessions both with and without representatives of management.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided.

The Trustees considered the scope of services to be provided under the Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements with respect to the Return Stacked ETFs. In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser, and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETFs, the Board reviewed the Adviser’s and Sub-Advisers’ compliance infrastructure and its financial strength and resources. The Board also considered the experience of the personnel of the Adviser, and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETFs, working with ETFs. The Board also considered other services to be provided to the Funds by the Adviser, and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETFs such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio transactions, monitoring adherence to each Fund’s investment restrictions, and monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities regulations. Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to each Fund by the Adviser, and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETFs, based on their experience, personnel, operations and resources.

 

 

 

 

Historical Performance. The Board noted that the New Funds had not yet commenced operations and that therefore there was no prior performance to review. The Board considered that the Return Stacked ETFs were relatively new and had not been in operation for a sufficient time period to establish a meaningful track record.

 

Cost of Services Provided, Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed advisory fees for each Fund and compared them to the management fees and total operating expenses of its Peer Group. The Board noted that the comparisons to the total expense ratios were the most relevant comparisons, given the fact that the advisory fee for each Fund is a “unified fee.”

 

The Board noted the importance of the fact that the proposed advisory fee for each Fund is a “unified fee,” meaning that the shareholders of the Fund pay no expenses except for interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, distribution fees and expenses paid by the Fund under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, as amended (the “1940 Act”), litigation expenses, non-routine or extraordinary expenses, and the unitary management fee payable to the Adviser.

 

The Board also noted that the Adviser was responsible for compensating the Trust’s other service providers and paying the Fund’s other expenses (except as noted above) out of its own fees and resources. The Board further noted that because the New Funds are new, it was difficult to estimate the profitability of each New Fund to the Adviser. The Board, however, considered collateral or “fall-out” benefits that the Adviser and its affiliates may derive as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Board did note that neither the Adviser nor the Sub-Advisers receive any additional compensation for serving as investment adviser and sub-adviser, respectively, to the Return Staked Cayman Subsidiaries with respect to the Return Stacked ETFs.

 

The Board noted that because the New Funds are new, it also was difficult to estimate whether the New Funds would experience economies of scale. The Board noted that the Adviser will review expenses as each Fund’s assets grow. The Board determined to evaluate economies of scale on an ongoing basis if the Funds achieved asset growth.

 

The Board also reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fees paid to the Sub-Advisers for their services, with respect to the Return Stacked ETFs. The Board considered each of these fees in light of the services being provided. The Board determined that the proposed fees reflected an appropriate allocation of the advisory fee paid to the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser given the work performed by each firm. The Board also considered that Newfound Research LLC and ReSolve Asset Management SEZC (Cayman),were acting as sponsors to the Return Stacked Funds and each had agreed to assume the payment of any fund expenses above the level of the unitary fee. The Board considered that pursuant to these arrangements, if fund expenses, including a payment to the Adviser of a certain amount, fall below the level of the unitary fee, the Adviser would pay any remaining portion of the unitary fee to the respective sponsor out of its profits. The Board concluded that the proposed fees for each Fund were reasonable in light of the services rendered.

 

 

 

 

The Board also considered that the sub-advisory fees paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid out of the Adviser’s unified fee and represents an arm’s-length negotiation between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, with respect to the Return Stacked ETFs. For these reasons, the Trustees determined that the profitability to the Sub-Adviser from relationships with the Funds was not a material factor in their deliberations with respect to consideration of approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Board considered that, because these fees are paid by the Adviser out of its unified fee, any economies of scale would not benefit shareholders and, thus, were not relevant for the consideration of the approval of the sub-advisory fee.

 

Conclusion. No single factor was determinative to the decision of the Board. Based on the Board’s deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above and such other matters as were deemed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously: (a) concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement, and the Sub-Advisory Agreements with respect to the Return Stacked ETF, is fair and reasonable; (b) concluded that each of the Adviser’s, (and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETF), fees are reasonable in light of the services that the Adviser, (and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETF), will provide to each Fund; and (c) agreed to approve each Agreement for an initial term of two years.

 

For the below Fund:

 

Return Stacked® International Stocks & Managed Futures ETF

 

Pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), at a meeting held on April 15, 2026, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Tidal Trust II (the “Trust”) considered the approval of:

 

  ● the Investment Advisory Agreements (each, an “Advisory Agreement”) between Tidal Investments LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust, on behalf of each New Fund;
     
  ● the Investment Advisory Cayman Subsidiary Agreement (the “Advisory cayman Subsidiary Agreement”) between the Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of the Return Stacked RSIT Cayman Subsidiary;
     
  ● the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” between the Adviser and Newfound Research LLC (“Newfound”) on behalf of the Return Stacked ETF.
     
  ● the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” between the Adviser and ReSolve Asset Management Inc. (“RAM”) on behalf of the Return Stacked ETF.
     

 

 

 

 

  ● the Subsidiary Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Adviser and ReSolve Asset Management Inc. (“RAM”) on behalf of the Return Stacked ETF.
     
  ● The Futures Subsidiary Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Adviser and ReSolve Asset Management SEZC (Cayman) (“ReSolve”) on behalf of the Return Stacked ETF.
     
  ● the Futures Trading Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” between the Adviser and ReSolve Asset Management SEZC (Cayman) (“ReSolve”) on behalf of the Return Stacked ETF.

 

Pursuant to Section 15 of the 1940 Act, the Agreements must be approved by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Agreements or “interested persons” of any party thereto, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. It was noted that in accordance with the SEC’s temporary exemptive relief for in-person approvals, these approvals shall be ratified at the next in-person Board meeting. In preparation for such meeting, the Board requested and reviewed a wide variety of information from the Adviser.

 

In reaching its decision, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered all factors it believed relevant, including: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to each Fund’s shareholders by the Adviser (and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETF); (ii) the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser from services to be provided to the Funds (and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETF), including any fall-out benefits; (iii) comparative fee and expense data for each Fund in relation to other investment companies with similar investment objectives; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each Fund grows and whether the advisory fees for the Fund reflects these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund; and (v) other financial benefits to the Adviser (and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETF), and its affiliates resulting from services rendered to the Funds. The Board’s review included written and oral information furnished to the Board prior to and at the meeting held on April 15, 2026. Among other things, the Adviser (and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETF), provided responses to a detailed series of questions, which included information about the Adviser’s, (and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETF), operations, service offerings, personnel, compliance program and financial condition. The Board then discussed the written and oral information that it received before the meeting, and the Adviser’s, (and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETF), oral presentations and any other information that the Board received at the meeting and deliberated on the initial approval of the Agreements in light of this information.

 

The Independent Trustees were assisted throughout the contract review process by independent legal counsel. The Independent Trustees relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the approval of the Agreements, and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to the Agreements were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each Fund. The Independent Trustees conferred amongst themselves and independent legal counsel in executive sessions both with and without representatives of management.

 

 

 

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided. The Trustees considered the scope of services to be provided under the Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements with respect to the Return Stacked ETF. In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser, and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETF, the Board reviewed the Adviser’s and Sub-Advisers’ compliance infrastructure and its financial strength and resources. The Board also considered the experience of the personnel of the Adviser, and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETF, working with ETFs. The Board also considered other services to be provided to the Funds by the Adviser, and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETF such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio transactions, monitoring adherence to each Fund’s investment restrictions, and monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities regulations. Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to each Fund by the Adviser, and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETF, based on their experience, personnel, operations and resources.

 

Historical Performance. The Board noted that the New Funds had not yet commenced operations and that therefore there was no prior performance to review.

 

Cost of Services Provided, Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed advisory fees for each Fund and compared them to the management fees and total operating expenses of its Peer Group. The Board noted that the comparisons to the total expense ratios were the most relevant comparisons, given the fact that the advisory fee for each Fund is a “unified fee.”

 

The Board noted the importance of the fact that the proposed advisory fee for each Fund is a “unified fee,” meaning that the shareholders of the Fund pay no expenses except for interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, distribution fees and expenses paid by the Fund under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, as amended (the “1940 Act”), litigation expenses, non-routine or extraordinary expenses, and the unitary management fee payable to the Adviser. The Board also noted that the Adviser was responsible for compensating the Trust’s other service providers and paying the Fund’s other expenses (except as noted above) out of its own fees and resources. The Board further noted that because the New Funds are new, it was difficult to estimate the profitability of each New Fund to the Adviser. The Board, however, considered collateral or “fall-out” benefits that the Adviser and its affiliates may derive as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Board did note that neither the Adviser nor the Sub-Advisers receive any additional compensation for serving as investment adviser and sub-adviser, respectively, to the Return Stacked Cayman Subsidiaries with respect to the Return Stacked ETFs.

 

The Board noted that because the New Funds are new, it also was difficult to estimate whether the New Funds would experience economies of scale. The Board noted that the Adviser will review expenses as each Fund’s assets grow. The Board determined to evaluate economies of scale on an ongoing basis if the Funds achieved asset growth.

 

 

 

 

The Board also reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fees paid to the Sub-Advisers for their services, with respect to the Return Stacked ETF. The Board considered each of these fees in light of the services being provided. The Board determined that the proposed fees reflected an appropriate allocation of the advisory fee paid to the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser given the work performed by each firm. The Board also considered that the Adviser, Newfound Research LLC and ReSolve Asset Management SEZC (Cayman),were acting as sponsors to the Return Stacked Fund. The Board considered that pursuant to these arrangements, if fund expenses, including a payment to the Adviser of a certain amount, fall below the level of the unitary fee, the Adviser would pay any remaining portion of the unitary fee to the respective sponsor out of its profits. The Board concluded that the proposed fees for each Fund were reasonable in light of the services rendered. The Board also considered that the sub-advisory fees paid to the Sub-Advisers (with respect to the Return Stacked ETF) are paid out of the Adviser’s unified fee and represents an arm’s-length negotiation between the Adviser and the applicable Sub-Adviser (with respect to the Return Stacked ETF). For these reasons, the Trustees determined that the profitability to the Sub-Advisers from relationships with the Funds was not a material factor in their deliberations with respect to consideration of approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Board considered that, because these fees are paid by the Adviser out of its unified fee, any economies of scale would not benefit shareholders and, thus, were not relevant for the consideration of the approval of the sub-advisory fee.

 

Conclusion. No single factor was determinative to the decision of the Board. Based on the Board’s deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above and such other matters as were deemed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously: (a) concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement, and the Sub-Advisory Agreements with respect to the Return Stacked ETF, is fair and reasonable; (b) concluded that each of the Adviser’s, (and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETF), fees are reasonable in light of the services that the Adviser, (and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Return Stacked ETF), will provide to each Fund; and (c) agreed to approve each Agreement for an initial term of two years.
