Trust seeks an above-average dividend yield for an equity income strategy and a growing dividend income stream by investing in a diversified
portfolio of common stocks of dividend-paying companies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: bold 11pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 4pt 0 1pt"&gt;Portfolio Selection Process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;The
Sponsor selected the Securities for the Trust from the companies included in the &#x201c;Guided Portfolio: Prime Income&#x201d;
research report as of October 6, 2026 (the &#x201c;Report&#x201d;) by replicating the securities contained in the Report and excluding
any security that is not suitable to be included in a unit investment trust, as described below. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;The
Report includes companies that the Investment Committee of RBC Capital Markets, LLC (the &#x201c;Investment Committee&#x201d;) believes
are well-established companies with durable competitive advantages and which have low business and financial risk, attractive dividend
yields and some measure of capital appreciation potential. The stocks selected for the Report are also those the Investment Committee
believes have the potential to produce consistent dividend payouts and the potential for dividend growth over the two-year life of the
Trust.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;The
Investment Committee selects the securities for the Report by beginning with the universe of companies under fundamental research by RBC
Capital Markets and including companies covered by third-party research groups that RBC Capital Markets collaborates with. The Investment
Committee will also evaluate non-traditional income stocks for inclusion that provide a high current dividend yield relative to the group
and relatively low business risk. The Investment Committee then evaluates these companies seeking those that in its opinion have a robust
cash flow, reasonable leverage, high return on capital, sound business model and skilled management.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;From
this group, the Investment Committee then places an emphasis on the following attributes to select the final securities for Report:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 2pt"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;
&lt;td style="width: 0"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="width: 10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;Balance sheet strength;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 2pt"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;
&lt;td style="width: 0"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="width: 10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;Stability of cash flow; and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 100%; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 2pt"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;
&lt;td style="width: 0"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="width: 10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;Established track record of dividend/distribution payments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;The
Sponsor selected the final portfolio for the Trust by running the securities included in the Report through a series of quality, liquidity
and suitability screens. For the quality screen, the Sponsor screened for companies with market capitalizations of typically $100 million
or greater, analyst stock ratings with an average of hold or higher, investment grade bond credit ratings and stocks that trade on a major
U.S. stock exchange. For the liquidity screen, the Sponsor only selected stocks that have enough daily liquidity to adequately support
the buying and selling of the anticipated number of shares on any given day to meet the Trust&#x2019;s purchases and/or redemption requirements.
Lastly, only those securities that fit within the Trust&#x2019;s investment objective and are suitable to be included in a unit investment
trust are eligible to be included in the Trust&#x2019;s portfolio. Sector concentrations are also limited to a maximum of 35% per sector.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;While not
a part of the Trust&#x2019;s portfolio selection process, the Trust also invests in REITs, &lt;/span&gt;f&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;oreign
securities, depositary receipts and companies&lt;/span&gt; with various market capitalizations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 2pt; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;As
with any similar investments, there can be no assurance that the objectives of the Trust will be achieved. See &#x201c;Risk Factors&#x201d;
for a discussion of the risks of investing in the Trust.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
