This example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain at current levels. This example does not include the brokerage commissions that investors may pay to buy and sell Shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, your costs, based on these assumptions, would be:</p> <table class="NOGUTTER" style="width: 100.0%; border-collapse: collapse; border: 0px solid #000;

To the extent the Underlying ETF decreases in value over the duration of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide shareholders that hold Shares for the entire Outcome Period with a decrease in value that is approximately equal to the share price decrease experienced by the Underlying ETF.

The current Outcome Period is from January<span class="nobreak"> </span>1, 2026 through December<span class="nobreak"> </span>31, 2026. The Fund’s sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes are designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, and are based upon the Fund’s NAV at the outset of the Outcome Period. Each FLEX Option’s value is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF during that time. Because the terms of the FLEX Options don’t change, the Accelerated Return and Cap each relate to the Fund’s NAV on the first day of the Outcome Period. Further, since the Fund’s option contracts are exercisable at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes are only provided at the end of the Outcome Period. Therefore, to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund for the Outcome Period, an investor must hold Shares from the commencement of the Outcome Period through its conclusion.<span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to provide the Outcomes.</span></p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund’s NAV is based upon the value of its portfolio. Although the value of the Underlying ETF’s share price is a significant component of the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options, the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options (and therefore, the Fund’s NAV) will not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a daily basis. The time remaining until those FLEX Options expire, which is at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, also affects their value. The degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF may be higher than if the FLEX Options utilized by the Fund had a shorter term. The Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> generally anticipates that the Fund’s NAV will increase on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price increases and will decrease on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price decreases, but that the rate of such increase or decrease may be less than that experienced by the Underlying ETF. Further, it is unlikely that the Fund’s value will increase at a rate that is the </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">same rate as the Accelerated Return (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, an increase in value that is three times the increase in value experienced by the Underlying ETF) during the Outcome Period. The Fund does not seek to provide the Outcomes on a daily or short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, but instead seeks to provide the Outcomes at the conclusion of the Outcome Period for those investors who have held Shares for the duration of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">For additional information regarding the Outcome Period, including the potential impacts of purchasing and selling intra<span class="nobreak">-Outcome</span> Period, <span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">see</span> “Additional Information Regarding the Fund’s Principal Investment Strategies.”</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="BoldItalic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Potential Upside Accelerated Return Subject to a Cap.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund’s potential upside returns are unlike other investment products.

When the Fund’s annual Fund management fee of 0.79% of the Fund’s average daily net assets is taken into account, the Cap is 18.56%. The Cap will be further reduced by any shareholder transaction fees, any acquired fund fees and expenses, and any extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund. The Cap will change from one Outcome Period to the next based upon prevailing market conditions at the beginning of the Outcome Period.

In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price. FLEX Options are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> option contracts with uniquely customizable terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund seeks to achieve the Outcomes, including the Accelerated Return and Cap, by purchasing and selling call FLEX Options to create layers within the Fund’s portfolio. The customizable nature of FLEX Options allows the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> to select the share price of the Underlying ETF at which the option contract may be exercised. This is commonly known as the “strike price.” At the commencement of the Outcome Period, the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> specifically selects the strike price for each FLEX Option such that when the FLEX Options are exercised on the final day of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes may be obtained, depending on the performance of the Underlying ETF’s share price over the duration of the Outcome Period. Each of the FLEX Options purchased and sold throughout the Outcome Period are expected to have the same or similar terms (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e., </span>strike price and expiration) as the corresponding FLEX Options purchased and sold on the first day of the Outcome Period. The Fund utilizes European style option contracts, which are exercisable only on the expiration date of the option contract.</p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">For a given Outcome Period, the Fund may invest exclusively in FLEX Options or may purchase the Underlying ETF directly (and/or the components thereof) and FLEX Options to produce the Outcomes. To the extent the Fund invests solely in FLEX Options that reference the Underlying ETF, the Cap will be provided on a price return basis (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the Outcomes will be provided based on changes in the share price of the Underlying ETF), and the Fund will not receive the benefit of any dividends. For Outcome Periods in which the Fund directly purchases the Underlying ETF, in addition to FLEX Options, to construct the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund will receive dividends from the Underlying ETF, and the Cap will be provided inclusive of dividends received (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the price returns of the Underlying ETF plus dividends received). If the Fund invests in the Underlying ETF directly (or the components thereof), to calculate the Cap the Adviser will assume an estimated dividend rate for the Underlying ETF (which is based on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF). <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">To the extent the dividends received by the Fund differ from this assumed rate, the Cap may be higher or lower than disclosed herein. </span>If the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, it will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses.

Important information relating to the Fund, including information relating to the Cap, is communicated on the Fund’s website.</p> The Fund has adopted a policy pursuant to Rule 35d<span class="nobreak">-1</span> under the 1940 Act to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that provide exposure to the Invesco QQQ Trust<span class="Superscript" style="vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">SM</span>, Series 1. The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). To the extent the Underlying ETF concentrates (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. You could lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Defined Outcome Strategy Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund, in employing a “defined outcome strategy” is subject to certain unique risks, which are detailed below.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Accelerated Return Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During Outcome Periods in which the Underlying ETF increases in value, there can be no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its strategy to provide the Accelerated Return. In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into or does not stay invested in the Fund for the entirety of the Outcome Period, any Accelerated Return realized by the investor may not match those that the Fund seeks to achieve. Additionally, if an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into and the Fund has risen in value to a level near the Cap, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares, including any available Accelerated Return. The Fund does not seek to provide investment outcomes on a daily or other short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, which is an attribute of other types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> funds that provide a daily, multiple exposure to a reference index (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, a “daily leveraged ETF”). In contrast, the Fund seeks to provide the Outcomes for the entire Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF for the entire Outcome Period. As a result, it is very unlikely that, on any given day during which the Underlying ETF increases in value, the Fund will increase in value at the same rate as the Accelerated Return, which is designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period. Likewise, there are situations during the Outcome Period in which the Fund may decrease in value at a higher rate than an associated decrease in the Underlying ETF. If the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has already experienced an Accelerated Return, an investor purchasing Shares at that price is subject to, and may experience losses at a higher rate than, any losses of the Underlying ETF for the remainder of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cap Change Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>A new Cap is established at the beginning of each Outcome Period and is dependent on prevailing market conditions at the time the Cap is established. As such, the Cap may rise or fall from one Outcome Period to the next and is unlikely to remain the same for consecutive Outcome Periods.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Capped Upside Return Risk.    </span>The Fund’s strategy seeks to provide returns that are subject to the Cap. In the event that the Underlying ETF experiences gains in excess of the Cap for the Outcome Period, the Fund will not participate in, and will underperform the Underlying ETF to the extent of, those gains beyond the Cap. The Fund’s strategy seeks to deliver returns that are three times those of the Underlying ETF (subject to the Cap), if Shares are held at the time at which the Fund enters into the FLEX Options and held until those FLEX Options expire at the end of the Outcome Period. In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares. Further, because the FLEX Options are designed to produce the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> returns on the last day of the Outcome Period, if an investor sells Shares prior to the expiration date of the FLEX Options such investor may sell at a point where the </p><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">Fund’s performance does not match or exceed the performance of the Underlying ETF over the Outcome Period, and therefore may sell at a point where the Fund has underperformed the Underlying ETF, even if such gains do not exceed the Cap. The Fund seeks to actively manage its portfolio such that any transaction fees incurred by the Fund in connection with the management of the Fund’s assets will not impact the Fund’s performance in seeking to provide accelerated exposure to the Underlying ETF or the Fund’s ability to experience returns that match the Cap, to the extent the returns of the Underlying ETF are equal to or greater than the Cap. However, it is not guaranteed that the Fund will be able to successfully manage its assets to contemplate the transaction fees incurred by the Fund to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund. To the extent the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, the Cap will be provided after the consideration of dividends received, whereby the Fund has assumed an anticipated dividend rate, which is on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF. This assumed dividend rate may be less than dividends actually received by the Fund for the Outcome Period, in which case the Cap will be less than disclosed herein.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Investment Objective Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Certain circumstances under which the Fund might not achieve its objective include, but are not limited, to (i) if the Fund disposes of FLEX Options, (ii) if the Fund is unable to maintain the proportional relationship based on the number of FLEX Options in the Fund’s portfolio, (iii) a significant accrual of Fund expenses in connection with effecting the Fund’s principal investment strategy or (iv) adverse tax law changes or interpretations affecting the treatment of FLEX Options. If these factors were to occur, the Fund may be unable to achieve its investment objective, and investors may not receive the Outcomes described herein.

The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include: (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: (i) changing supply and demand relationships; (ii) government programs and policies; (iii) national and international political and economic events; (iv) changes in interest rates; (v) inflation and deflation; and (vi) changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms, which can magnify potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on share price. The Fund has taken the necessary steps to comply with the requirements of Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span> under the 1940 Act (“<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Rule 18f</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">-4</span></span>”) in its usage of FLEX Options. The Fund has adopted and implements a derivatives risk management program that contains policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Fund’s derivatives risks, has appointed a derivatives risk manager who is responsible for administrating the derivatives risk management program, complies with outer limitations on risks relating to its derivatives transactions and carries out enhanced reporting to the Board, the SEC and the public regarding its derivatives activities. To the extent the Fund is noncompliant with Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span>, the Fund may be required to adjust its investment portfolio which may, in turn, negatively impact the Fund’s ability to deliver the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes. In addition to the foregoing, the Fund is subject to the following risks associated with its use of derivative instruments:</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Clearing Member Default Risk.    </span>Transactions in some types of derivatives, including FLEX Options, are required to be centrally cleared (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“cleared derivatives”</span>). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house, such as the OCC, rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“clearing members”</span>) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. In cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to, and receive payments from, a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any option contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member’s individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with any clearing member as margin for its FLEX Options may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund’s clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance of their clients’ obligations to the clearing house, there is a risk that the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member’s bankruptcy. The Fund is also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on </p><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">the Fund’s behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member’s default. If a clearing member defaults the Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction entered into by the Fund with the clearing member. The loss of a clearing member for the Fund to transact with could result in increased transaction costs and other operational issues that could impede the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategy. If the Fund cannot find a clearing member to transact with on the Fund’s behalf, the Fund may be unable to effectively implement its investment strategy.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="-sec-ix-redline:true;margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Correlation Risk.    </span>The FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on their expiration date. As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically will increasingly move with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, the value of the FLEX Options may vary prior to the expiration date because of related factors other than the value of the Underlying ETF. The value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options include interest rate changes and implied volatility levels of the Underlying ETF, among others. The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund typically do not increase or decrease at the same level as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis due to these factors (although they generally move in the same direction). Since the FLEX Options held by the Fund do not expire until one year after the commencement of the Outcome Period, it is possible that the degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF will be higher versus FLEX Options with shorter terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Counterparty Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Counterparty risk is the risk an issuer, guarantor or counterparty of a security in the Fund is unable or unwilling to meet its obligation on the security. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition, market activities, or for other reasons. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited and/or delayed recovery. The OCC acts as guarantor and central counterparty with respect to the FLEX Options. As a result, the ability of the Fund to meet its objective depends on the OCC being able to meet its obligations. In the event an OCC clearing member that is a counterparty of the Fund were to become insolvent, the Fund may have some or all of its FLEX Options closed without its consent or may experience delays or other difficulties in attempting to close or exercise its affected FLEX Options positions, both of which would impair the Fund’s ability to deliver on its investment strategy. The OCC’s rules and procedures are designed to facilitate the prompt settlement of options transactions and exercises, including for clearing member insolvencies. However, there is the risk that the OCC and its backup system will fail if clearing member insolvencies are substantial or widespread. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">FLEX Options Risk.    </span>The Fund will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC. The use of option contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions.

In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities, such as standardized options. In less liquid markets for the FLEX Options, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. In connection with the creation and redemption of Shares, to the extent market participants are not willing or able to enter into FLEX Option transactions with the Fund at prices that reflect the market price of the Shares, the Fund’s NAV and, in turn the share price of the Fund, could be negatively impacted.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless. The FLEX Options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike price on their expiration date. As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically increasingly moves with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, prior to such date, the value of the FLEX Options does not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis (although they generally move in the same direction). The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund will be determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods.

There is no guarantee that a liquid secondary trading market will exist for the FLEX Options. The trading in FLEX Options may be less deep and liquid than the market for certain other securities, including certain non<span class="nobreak">-customized</span> option contracts. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, terminating the FLEX Options may require the payment of a premium or acceptance of a discounted price and may take longer to complete. Additionally, the liquidation of a large number of FLEX Options may more significantly impact the price in a less liquid market. Further, the Fund requires a sufficient number of participants to facilitate the purchase and sale of options on an exchange to provide liquidity to the Fund for its FLEX Option positions. A less liquid trading market may adversely impact the value of the FLEX Options and the value of your investment.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Underlying ETF Risk.    </span>The Fund’s investment performance largely depends on the investment performance and associated risks of the Underlying ETF.

Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Information technology companies are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Large Capitalization Companies Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate and be less able to adapt to changing market conditions than smaller capitalization companies.

A significant exposure makes the Fund more susceptible to any single occurrence and may subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that is more broadly diversified.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Cyber Security Risk.    </span>As the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the investment industry has become more susceptible to potential operational risks through breaches in cyber security.

Such events could cause the Fund to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">and/or financial loss. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems through “hacking” or malicious software coding, but may also result from outside attacks such as denial<span class="nobreak">-of-service</span> attacks through efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users. In addition, cyber security breaches of the Fund’s third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers, such as its administrator, transfer agent, or custodian can also subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches. The Fund has established risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security.

Assets may decline in value due to factors affecting financial markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of FLEX Options or other assets may also decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or due to factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates will not have the same impact on all types of securities. Securities, including the Shares, are subject to market fluctuations and liquidity constraints that may be caused by such factors as economic, political, or regulatory developments, changes in interest rates, and/or perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of the Fund could decline in value or underperform other investments. The value of Shares may also decline as a result of market conditions. Factors such as inflation, changes in interest rates, changes in regulatory requirements, bank failures, political climate deterioration or developments, armed conflicts, natural disasters or future health crises, may negatively impact market conditions, and cause a decrease in the value of Shares. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy. These events, and any other future events, may adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Non</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">-Diversification</span></span><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> Risk.    </span>The Fund is classified as a “non<span class="nobreak">-diversified</span> company” under the 1940 Act.

As a result, an investment in the Fund may be less tax<span class="nobreak">-efficient</span> than an investment in an ETF that effectuates its Creation Units only on an in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> basis. ETFs are able to make in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> redemptions to avoid being taxed on gains on the distributed portfolio securities at the fund level. A fund that effects redemptions for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds and may be forced to recognize gains. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effectuated in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with special tax rules that apply to it. This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise be subject to, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span>, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees.

In addition, decisions by market makers or authorized participants to reduce their role or step away from these activities in times of market stress could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying values of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the Fund’s market price.

The market price of Shares generally corresponds to movements in the Fund’s NAV as well as the relative supply and demand for Shares on the Exchange. The market price may be at, above (a premium) or below (a discount) the Fund’s NAV. Differences in market prices of Shares and the NAV per Share may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. These differences can be especially pronounced during times of market volatility or stress. During these periods, the demand for Shares may decrease considerably and cause the market price of Shares to deviate, and in some cases deviate significantly, from the Fund’s NAV and the bid/ask spread on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Trading Issues Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Although Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained.

In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules.

In order to be treated as a RIC, the Fund must meet certain income, diversification and distribution tests. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. The federal income tax treatment of certain aspects of the proposed operations of the Fund is not entirely clear, which could impact the Fund’s ability to qualify as a RIC. This includes the tax aspects of the Fund’s options strategy, its hedging strategy, the possible application of the “straddle” rules, and various loss limitation provisions of the Code. The Fund’s investments in offsetting positions with respect to the Underlying ETF may affect the character of gains or losses realized by the Fund under the Code’s “straddle” rules and may increase any short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> capital gains realized by the Fund. The Fund intends to treat any income it may derive from the FLEX Options as “qualifying income” under the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs. If the income is not qualifying income or the referenced asset is not appropriately treated as the issuer of the FLEX Options, the Fund could lose its own status as a RIC. To maintain its status as a RIC, the Fund must distribute, on an annual basis, at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for each taxable year. In addition, to avoid a non<span class="nobreak">-deductible</span> excise tax, the Fund must distribute on a calendar year basis 98% of its ordinary taxable income and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each taxable year (plus 100% of any undistributed amounts for prior years). Separately, depending upon the circumstances, sales of its portfolio investments (including FLEX Options) to fund redemptions could cause the Fund to recognize income that the Fund is required to distribute to maintain the Fund’s RIC status and avoid the excise tax. Funding such distributions could require additional sales, which could require more distributions and affect the projected performance of the Fund. Alternatively, if the Fund only makes distributions to maintain its RIC </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">status and becomes subject to the excise tax, that could also affect the projected performance of the Fund. In either case, the assets sold to fund redemptions, distributions or pay the excise tax will not be available to assist the Fund in meeting its target outcome. With respect to the RIC diversification test, identifying the issuer can depend on the terms and conditions of a given investment. There is no published Internal Revenue Service guidance or only limited case law on how to determine the “issuer” of certain derivatives that the Fund will enter into. Based upon language in the legislative history, the Fund intends to treat the issuer of the FLEX Options as the referenced asset, which, assuming the referenced asset qualifies as a RIC, would allow the Fund to qualify for special rules in the RIC diversification requirements. The FLEX Options included in the portfolio are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options. Under Section 1256 of the Code, certain types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options are treated as if they were sold (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, “marked to market”) at the end of each year. The Fund does not believe that the positions held by the Fund will be subject to Section 1256, which means that the positions will not be marked to market. There is a risk that because the offsetting FLEX Options are being held by a single person that the IRS may take the position that the FLEX Options, viewed together, should be treated as a single instrument for federal tax purposes. The result of such a position would be that the Fund would fail the RIC diversification tests causing the RIC to be taxed as an ordinary corporation, unless certain cure rights based upon reasonable cause may apply. The Fund has obtained an opinion of tax counsel that the FLEX Options should not be collapsed into a single instrument. However, such an opinion is not binding upon the IRS or the courts. In the event that a shareholder purchases Shares of the Fund before a distribution by the Fund, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Valuation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the valuation of the Fund’s FLEX Options will become more difficult.

Through its exposure to the Underlying ETF, the Fund has significant exposure to companies in the information technology sector.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="-sec-ix-redline:true;margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="BoldItalic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">The Outcome Period.    </span>The Outcome Period is an approximately one<span class="nobreak">-year</span> period from January 1 through December 31 of each year. The current Outcome Period is from January<span class="nobreak"> </span>1, 2026 through December<span class="nobreak"> </span>31, 2026. The Fund’s sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes are designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, and are based upon the Fund’s NAV at the outset of the Outcome Period. Each FLEX Option’s value is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF during that time. Because the terms of the FLEX Options don’t change, the Accelerated Return, Buffer and Cap each relate to the Fund’s NAV on the first day of the Outcome Period. Further, since the Fund’s option contracts are exercisable at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes are only provided at the end of the Outcome Period. Therefore, to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund for the Outcome Period, an investor must hold Shares from the commencement of the Outcome Period through its conclusion.<span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to provide the Outcomes.</span></p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund’s NAV is based upon the value of its portfolio which consists of FLEX Options, and may also include shares of the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof). Although the value of the Underlying ETF’s share price is a significant component of the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options, the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options (and therefore, the Fund’s NAV) will not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a daily basis. The time remaining until those FLEX Options expire, which is at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, also affects their value. The degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF may be higher than if the FLEX Options utilized by the Fund had a shorter term. The Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> generally anticipates that the Fund’s NAV will increase on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price increases and will decrease on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price decreases, but that the rate of such increase or decrease may be less than that experienced </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">by the Underlying ETF. Further, it is unlikely that the Fund’s value will increase at a rate that is the same rate as the Accelerated Return (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, an increase in value that is two times the increase in value experienced by the Underlying ETF) during the Outcome Period. The Fund does not seek to provide the Outcomes on a daily or short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, but instead seeks to provide the Outcomes at the conclusion of the Outcome Period for those investors who have held Shares for the duration of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">For additional information regarding the Outcome Period, including the potential impacts of purchasing and selling intra<span class="nobreak">-Outcome</span> Period, <span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">see</span> “Additional Information Regarding the Fund’s Principal Investment Strategies.”</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="BoldItalic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Potential Upside Accelerated Return Subject to a Cap.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund’s potential upside returns are unlike other investment products. If the Underlying ETF increases in value over the duration of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide returns that are twice the increase experienced by the Underlying ETF, subject to the Cap. <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">The Cap represents the maximum percentage return an investor can achieve from an investment in the Fund over the duration of the Outcome Period. Therefore, even though the Fund’s returns (and any potential Accelerated Return) are based upon the performance of the Underlying ETF, if the Underlying ETF experiences returns for the Outcome Period in excess of the Cap, the Fund will not participate in such excess returns.</span> The Cap is determined on the first day of the Outcome Period and is 11.94% prior to taking into account any fees or expenses charged to shareholders. When the Fund’s annual Fund management fee of 0.79% of the Fund’s average daily net assets is taken into account, the Cap is 11.15%. The Cap will be further reduced by any shareholder transaction fees, any acquired fund fees and expenses, and any extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund. The Cap will change from one Outcome Period to the next based upon prevailing market conditions at the beginning of the Outcome Period. The Cap is also set forth on the Fund’s website at <span class="nobreak"><span class="underline" style="text-decoration:underline;">www.innovatoretfs.com/xbja</span></span><span class="underline" style="text-decoration:underline;">.</span></p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="BoldItalic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Buffer.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund seeks to provide shareholders who hold Shares for the entire Outcome Period with a Buffer against the first 9% of Underlying ETF losses for the Outcome Period; <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">however, there is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to provide buffered returns.</span> After the Underlying ETF’s share price has decreased by more than 9%, the Fund will experience all subsequent losses on a one<span class="nobreak">-to-one</span> basis. The effect sought to be created by the Buffer is that if the Underlying ETF’s share price has decreased in value over the course of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to be returned the amount of its principal investment (if the Underlying ETF’s share price decreased in value by 9% or less) or experience a loss that is 9% less than the loss experienced by the Underlying ETF (if the Underlying ETF’s share price decreased in value by more than 9%). <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">If the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has experienced any Accelerated Return, an investor purchasing Shares at that price may be subject to losses that exceed any losses of the Underlying ETF for the remainder of the Outcome Period.</span> A shareholder may lose their entire investment. While the Fund seeks to limit losses to 91% for shareholders who hold Shares for the entire Outcome Period, there is no guarantee it will successfully do so. <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">An investment in the Fund is only appropriate for shareholders willing to bear those losses.</span></p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Buffer is provided prior to taking into account annual Fund management fees, transaction fees, any acquired fund fees and expenses, and any extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund. These fees and any expenses will have the effect of reducing the Buffer amount for Fund shareholders for an Outcome Period. When the Fund’s annual management fee equal to 0.79% of the Fund’s daily net assets is taken into account, the net Buffer for an Outcome Period is 8.21%. Since the Fund’s strategy is designed to produce the Outcomes on the last day of the Outcome Period, it should not be expected that the Buffer, including the net effect of the Fund’s annual management fee on the Buffer, will be provided at any point prior to the last day of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="BoldItalic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">The Fund’s Portfolio.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund invests in FLEX Options that reference the Underlying ETF and may also invest directly in shares of the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof). In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price. FLEX Options are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> option contracts with uniquely customizable terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund seeks to achieve the Outcomes, including the Accelerated Return, Buffer and Cap, by purchasing and selling call and put FLEX Options to create layers within the Fund’s portfolio. The customizable nature of FLEX Options allows the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> to select the share price of the Underlying ETF at which the option contract may be exercised. This is commonly known as the “strike price.” At the commencement of the Outcome Period, the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> specifically selects the strike price for each FLEX Option such that when the FLEX Options are exercised on the final day of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes may be obtained, depending on the performance of the Underlying ETF’s share price over the duration of the Outcome Period. Each of the FLEX Options purchased and sold throughout the Outcome Period are expected to have the same or similar terms (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e., </span>strike price and expiration) as the corresponding FLEX Options purchased and sold on the first day of the Outcome Period. The Fund utilizes European style option contracts, which are exercisable only on the expiration date of the option contract.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">For a given Outcome Period, the Fund may invest exclusively in FLEX Options or may purchase the Underlying ETF directly (and/or the components thereof) and FLEX Options to produce the Outcomes. To the extent the Fund invests solely in FLEX Options that reference the Underlying ETF, the Buffer and Cap will be provided on a price return basis (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the Outcomes will be provided based on changes in the share price of the Underlying ETF), and the Fund will not receive the benefit of any dividends. For Outcome Periods in which the Fund directly purchases the Underlying ETF, in addition to FLEX Options, to construct the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund will receive dividends from the Underlying ETF, and the Buffer and Cap will be provided inclusive of dividends received (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the price returns of the Underlying ETF plus dividends received). If the Fund invests in the Underlying ETF directly (or the components thereof), to calculate the Buffer and Cap the Adviser will assume an estimated dividend rate for the Underlying ETF (which is based on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF). <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">To the extent the dividends received by the Fund differ from this assumed historical rate, the Buffer and Cap may be higher or lower than disclosed herein. </span>If the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, it will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses. The Adviser has entered into an agreement to waive its management fee to the extent of the acquired fund fees and expenses incurred in connection with its investment in the Underlying ETF.</p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">Additional information regarding the terms of the FLEX Options, information on the Underlying ETF, and the mechanics of the Fund’s strategy can be found in “Additional Information Regarding the Fund’s Principal Investment Strategies.”</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="BoldItalic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Fund Rebalance.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund is a continuous investment vehicle.

Important information relating to the Fund, including information relating to the Cap, is communicated on the Fund’s website.</p> The Fund has adopted a policy pursuant to Rule 35d<span class="nobreak">-1</span> under the 1940 Act to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that provide exposure to the State Street<span class="Bold-Superscript" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">®</span> SPDR<span class="Bold-Superscript" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">®</span> S&amp;P 500<span class="Bold-Superscript" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">®</span> ETF Trust. The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). To the extent the Underlying ETF concentrates (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. You could lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Defined Outcome Strategy Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund, in employing a “defined outcome strategy” is subject to certain unique risks, which are detailed below.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Accelerated Return Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During Outcome Periods in which the Underlying ETF increases in value, there can be no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its strategy to provide the Accelerated Return. In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into or does not stay invested in the Fund for the entirety of the Outcome Period, any Accelerated Return realized by the investor may not match those that the Fund seeks to achieve. Additionally, if an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into and the Fund has risen in value to a level near the Cap, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares, including any available Accelerated Return. The Fund does not seek to provide investment outcomes on a daily or other short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, which is an attribute of other types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> funds that provide a daily, multiple exposure to a reference index (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, a “daily leveraged ETF”).

As a result, it is very unlikely that, on any given day during which the Underlying ETF increases in value, the Fund will increase in value at the same rate as the Accelerated Return, which is designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period. Likewise, there are situations during the Outcome Period in which the Fund may decrease in value at a higher rate than an associated decrease in the Underlying ETF. If the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has already experienced an Accelerated Return, an investor purchasing Shares at that price is subject to, and may experience losses at a higher rate than, any losses of the Underlying ETF for the remainder of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Buffered Loss Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>There can be no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its strategy to provide buffer protection against Underlying ETF losses if the Underlying ETF’s share price decreases by 9% or less over the duration of the Outcome Period.

The Fund’s strategy seeks to provide the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> protection of the Buffer if Shares are held at the time at which the Fund enters into the FLEX Options and held until those FLEX Options expire at the end of the Outcome Period. In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into or sells Shares prior to the expiration of the FLEX Options, the Buffer that the Fund seeks to provide may not be available. The Fund does not provide principal protection or non<span class="nobreak">-principal</span> protection, and an investor may experience significant losses on its investment, including the loss of its entire investment. To the extent the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, the Buffer will be provided after the consideration of dividends received, whereby the Fund has assumed an anticipated dividend rate, which is on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF. This assumed dividend rate may be less than dividends actually received by the Fund for the Outcome Period, in which case shareholders may not receive the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> downside protection of the Buffer.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cap Change Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>A new Cap is established at the beginning of each Outcome Period and is dependent on prevailing market conditions at the time the Cap is established.

The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include: (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: (i) changing supply and demand relationships; (ii) government programs and policies; (iii) national and international political and economic events; (iv) changes in interest rates; (v) inflation and deflation; and (vi) changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms, which can magnify potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on share price. The Fund has taken the necessary steps to comply with the requirements of Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span> under the 1940 Act (“<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Rule 18f</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">-4</span></span>”) in its usage of FLEX Options. The Fund has adopted and implements a derivatives risk management program that contains policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Fund’s derivatives risks, has appointed a derivatives risk manager who is responsible for administrating the derivatives risk management program, complies with outer limitations on risks relating to its derivatives transactions and carries out enhanced reporting to the Board, the SEC and the public regarding its derivatives activities. To the extent the Fund is noncompliant with Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span>, the Fund may be required to adjust its investment portfolio which may, in turn, negatively impact the Fund’s ability to deliver the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes. In addition to the foregoing, the Fund is subject to the following risks associated with its use of derivative instruments:</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Clearing Member Default Risk.    </span>Transactions in some types of derivatives, including FLEX Options, are required to be centrally cleared (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“cleared derivatives”</span>). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house, such as the OCC, rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“clearing members”</span>) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. In cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to, and receive payments from, a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any option contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member’s individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with any clearing member as margin for its FLEX Options may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund’s clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance of their clients’ obligations to the clearing house, there is a risk that the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member’s bankruptcy. The Fund is also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on the Fund’s behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member’s default. If a clearing member defaults the Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction entered into by the Fund with the clearing member. The loss of a clearing member for the Fund to transact with could result in increased transaction costs and other operational issues </p> </div><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">that could impede the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategy.

As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically will increasingly move with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, the value of the FLEX Options may vary prior to the expiration date because of related factors other than the value of the Underlying ETF. The value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options include interest rate changes and implied volatility levels of the Underlying ETF, among others. The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund typically do not increase or decrease at the same level as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis due to these factors (although they generally move in the same direction). Since the FLEX Options held by the Fund do not expire until one year after the commencement of the Outcome Period, it is possible that the degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF will be higher versus FLEX Options with shorter terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Counterparty Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Counterparty risk is the risk an issuer, guarantor or counterparty of a security in the Fund is unable or unwilling to meet its obligation on the security. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition, market activities, or for other reasons. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited and/or delayed recovery. The OCC acts as guarantor and central counterparty with respect to the FLEX Options. As a result, the ability of the Fund to meet its objective depends on the OCC being able to meet its obligations. In the event an OCC clearing member that is a counterparty of the Fund were to become insolvent, the Fund may have some or all of its FLEX Options closed without its consent or may experience delays or other difficulties in attempting to close or exercise its affected FLEX Options positions, both of which would impair the Fund’s ability to deliver on its investment strategy. The OCC’s rules and procedures are designed to facilitate the prompt settlement of options transactions and exercises, including for clearing member insolvencies. However, there is the risk that the OCC and its backup system will fail if clearing member insolvencies are substantial or widespread. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">FLEX Options Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC. The use of option contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of option contracts are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, changes in interest or currency exchange rates, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events. There may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in values option contracts and the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for certain option contracts.</p> </div><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund bears the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities, such as standardized options. In less liquid markets for the FLEX Options, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. In connection with the creation and redemption of Shares, to the extent market participants are not willing or able to enter into FLEX Option transactions with the Fund at prices that reflect the market price of the Shares, the Fund’s NAV and, in turn the share price of the Fund, could be negatively impacted.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless.

There is no guarantee that a liquid secondary trading market will exist for the FLEX Options. The trading in FLEX Options may be less deep and liquid than the market for certain other securities, including certain non<span class="nobreak">-customized</span> option contracts. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, terminating the FLEX Options may require the payment of a premium or acceptance of a discounted price and may take longer to complete. Additionally, the liquidation of a large number of FLEX Options may more significantly impact the price in a less liquid market. Further, the Fund requires a sufficient number of participants to facilitate the purchase and sale of options on an exchange to provide liquidity to the Fund for its FLEX Option positions. A less liquid trading market may adversely impact the value of the FLEX Options and the value of your investment.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Underlying ETF Risk.    </span>The Fund’s investment performance largely depends on the investment performance and associated risks of the Underlying ETF.

Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Information technology companies are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Large Capitalization Companies Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate and be less able to adapt to changing market conditions than smaller capitalization companies. Thus, the return on investment in securities of large capitalization companies may be less than the return on investment in securities of small and/or mid capitalization companies.

To the extent the Fund has significant exposure in a single asset class or the securities of issuers within the same country, state, region, industry or sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Fund’s investments more than if the Fund were more broadly diversified. A significant exposure makes the Fund more susceptible to any single occurrence and may subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that is more broadly diversified.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Cyber Security Risk.    </span>As the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the investment industry has become more susceptible to potential operational risks through breaches in cyber security. A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity. Such events could cause the Fund to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">and/or financial loss. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems through “hacking” or malicious software coding, but may also result from outside attacks such as denial<span class="nobreak">-of-service</span> attacks through efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users. In addition, cyber security breaches of the Fund’s third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers, such as its administrator, transfer agent, or custodian can also subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches. The Fund has established risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security. However, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because the Fund does not directly control the cyber security systems of issuers or third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Market Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund could lose money over short periods due to short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. Assets may decline in value due to factors affecting financial markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of FLEX Options or other assets may also decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or due to factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates will not have the same impact on all types of securities. Securities, including the Shares, are subject to market fluctuations and liquidity constraints that may be caused by such factors as economic, political, or regulatory developments, changes in interest rates, and/or perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of the Fund could decline in value or underperform other investments. The value of Shares may also decline as a result of market conditions. Factors such as inflation, changes in interest rates, changes in regulatory requirements, bank failures, political climate deterioration or developments, armed conflicts, natural disasters or future health crises, may negatively impact market conditions, and cause a decrease in the value of Shares. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy. These events, and any other future events, may adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Non</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">-Diversification</span></span><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> Risk.    </span>The Fund is classified as a “non<span class="nobreak">-diversified</span> company” under the 1940 Act.

As a result, an investment in the Fund may be less tax<span class="nobreak">-efficient</span> than an investment in an ETF that effectuates its Creation Units only on an in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> basis. ETFs are able to make in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> redemptions to avoid being taxed on gains on the distributed portfolio securities at the fund level. A fund that effects redemptions for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds and may be forced to recognize gains. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effectuated in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with special tax rules that apply to it. This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise be subject to, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span>, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. The Fund’s use of cash for creations and redemptions could also result in dilution to the Fund and increased transaction costs, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Market Maker Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>If the Fund has lower average daily trading volumes, it may rely on a small number of third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> market makers to provide a market for the purchase and sale of Shares.

In addition, decisions by market makers or authorized participants to reduce their role or step away from these activities in times of market stress could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying values of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the Fund’s market price.

The market price of Shares generally corresponds to movements in the Fund’s NAV as well as the relative supply and demand for Shares on the Exchange. The market price may be at, above (a premium) or below (a discount) the Fund’s NAV. Differences in market prices of Shares and the NAV per Share may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. These differences can be especially pronounced during times of market volatility or stress. During these periods, the demand for Shares may decrease considerably and cause the market price of Shares to deviate, and in some cases deviate significantly, from the Fund’s NAV and the bid/ask spread on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Trading Issues Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Although Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained.

In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. Market makers are under no obligation to make a market in the Shares, and authorized participants are not obligated to submit purchase or redemption orders for Creation Units. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="-sec-ix-redline:true;margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Tax Risk.    </span>The Fund has elected to be treated and intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“RIC”</span>) under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to be treated as a RIC, the Fund must meet certain income, diversification and distribution tests. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. The federal income tax treatment of certain aspects of the proposed operations of the Fund is not entirely clear, which could impact the Fund’s ability to qualify as a RIC. This includes the tax aspects of the Fund’s options strategy, its hedging strategy, the possible application of the “straddle” rules, and various loss limitation provisions of the Code. The Fund’s investments in offsetting positions with respect to the Underlying ETF may affect the character of gains or losses realized by the Fund under the Code’s “straddle” rules and may increase any short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> capital gains realized by the Fund. The Fund intends to treat any income it may derive from the FLEX Options as “qualifying income” under the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs. If the income is not qualifying income or the referenced asset is not appropriately treated as the issuer of the FLEX Options, the Fund could lose its own status as a RIC. To maintain its status as a RIC, the Fund must distribute, on an annual basis, at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for each taxable year. In addition, to avoid a non<span class="nobreak">-deductible</span> excise tax, the Fund must distribute on a calendar year basis 98% of its ordinary taxable income and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each taxable year (plus 100% of any undistributed amounts for prior years). Separately, depending upon the circumstances, sales of its portfolio investments (including FLEX Options) to fund redemptions could cause the Fund to recognize income that the Fund is required to distribute to maintain the Fund’s RIC status and avoid the excise tax. Funding such distributions </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">could require additional sales, which could require more distributions and affect the projected performance of the Fund. Alternatively, if the Fund only makes distributions to maintain its RIC status and becomes subject to the excise tax, that could also affect the projected performance of the Fund. In either case, the assets sold to fund redemptions, distributions or pay the excise tax will not be available to assist the Fund in meeting its target outcome. With respect to the RIC diversification test, identifying the issuer can depend on the terms and conditions of a given investment. There is no published Internal Revenue Service guidance or only limited case law on how to determine the “issuer” of certain derivatives that the Fund will enter into. Based upon language in the legislative history, the Fund intends to treat the issuer of the FLEX Options as the referenced asset, which, assuming the referenced asset qualifies as a RIC, would allow the Fund to qualify for special rules in the RIC diversification requirements. The FLEX Options included in the portfolio are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options. Under Section 1256 of the Code, certain types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options are treated as if they were sold (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, “marked to market”) at the end of each year. The Fund does not believe that the positions held by the Fund will be subject to Section 1256, which means that the positions will not be marked to market. There is a risk that because the offsetting FLEX Options are being held by a single person that the IRS may take the position that the FLEX Options, viewed together, should be treated as a single instrument for federal tax purposes. The result of such a position would be that the Fund would fail the RIC diversification tests causing the RIC to be taxed as an ordinary corporation, unless certain cure rights based upon reasonable cause may apply. The Fund has obtained an opinion of tax counsel that the FLEX Options should not be collapsed into a single instrument. However, such an opinion is not binding upon the IRS or the courts. In the event that a shareholder purchases Shares of the Fund before a distribution by the Fund, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Valuation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the valuation of the Fund’s FLEX Options will become more difficult. In market environments where there is reduced availability of reliable objective pricing data, the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser in determining the fair value of the security may play a greater role. While such determinations may be made in good faith, it may nevertheless be more difficult for the Fund to accurately assign a daily value.</p> Performance <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The bar chart and table below illustrate the annual calendar year returns of the Fund based on NAV as well as the average annual Fund returns.

The current Outcome Period is from January<span class="nobreak"> </span>1, 2026 through December<span class="nobreak"> </span>31, 2026. The Fund’s sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes are designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, and are based upon the Fund’s NAV at the outset of the Outcome Period. Each FLEX Option’s value is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF during that time. Because the terms of the FLEX Options don’t change, the Accelerated Return and Cap each relate to the Fund’s NAV on the first day of the Outcome Period. Further, since the Fund’s option contracts are exercisable at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes are only provided at the end of the Outcome Period. Therefore, to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund for the Outcome Period, an investor must hold Shares from the commencement of the Outcome Period through its conclusion.<span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to provide the Outcomes.</span></p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund’s NAV is based upon the value of its portfolio which consists of FLEX Options, and may also include shares of the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof). Although the value of the Underlying ETF’s share price is a significant component of the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options, the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options (and therefore, the Fund’s NAV) will not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a daily basis. The time remaining until those FLEX Options expire, which is at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, also affects their value. The degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF may be higher than if the FLEX Options utilized by the Fund had a shorter term. The Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> generally anticipates that the Fund’s NAV will increase on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price increases and will decrease on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price decreases, but that the rate of such increase or decrease may be less than that experienced by the Underlying ETF.

When the Fund’s annual Fund management fee of 0.79% of the Fund’s average daily net assets is taken into account, the Cap is 14.57%. The Cap will be further reduced by any shareholder transaction fees, any acquired fund fees and expenses, and any extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund. The Cap will change from one Outcome Period to the next based upon prevailing market conditions at the beginning of the Outcome Period.

In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price. FLEX Options are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> option contracts with uniquely customizable terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund seeks to achieve the Outcomes, including the Accelerated Return and Cap, by purchasing and selling call FLEX Options to create layers within the Fund’s portfolio. The customizable nature of FLEX Options allows the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> to select the share price of the Underlying ETF at which the option contract may be exercised. This is commonly known as the “strike price.” At the commencement of the Outcome Period, the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> specifically selects the strike price for each FLEX Option such that when the FLEX Options are exercised on the final day of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes may be obtained, depending on the performance of the Underlying ETF’s share price over the duration of the Outcome Period. Each of the FLEX Options purchased and sold throughout the Outcome Period are expected to have the same or similar terms (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e., </span>strike price and expiration) as the corresponding FLEX Options purchased and sold on the first day of the Outcome Period. The Fund utilizes European style option contracts, which are exercisable only on the expiration date of the option contract.</p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">For a given Outcome Period, the Fund may invest exclusively in FLEX Options or may purchase the Underlying ETF directly (and/or the components thereof) and FLEX Options to produce the Outcomes.

For Outcome Periods in which the Fund directly purchases the Underlying ETF, in addition to FLEX Options, to construct the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund will receive dividends from the Underlying ETF, and the Cap will be provided inclusive of dividends received (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the price returns of the Underlying ETF plus dividends received). If the Fund invests in the Underlying ETF directly (or the components thereof), to calculate the Cap the Adviser will assume an estimated dividend rate for the Underlying ETF (which is based on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF). <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">To the extent the dividends received by the Fund differ from this assumed rate, the Cap may be higher or lower than disclosed herein. </span>If the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, it will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses.

The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). To the extent the Underlying ETF concentrates (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent.

In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into or does not stay invested in the Fund for the entirety of the Outcome Period, any Accelerated Return realized by the investor may not match those that the Fund seeks to achieve. Additionally, if an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into and the Fund has risen in value to a level near the Cap, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares, including any available Accelerated Return. The Fund does not seek to provide investment outcomes on a daily or other short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, which is an attribute of other types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> funds that provide a daily, multiple exposure to a reference index (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, a “daily leveraged ETF”). In contrast, the Fund seeks to provide the Outcomes for the entire Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF for the entire Outcome Period. As a result, it is very unlikely that, on any given day during which the Underlying ETF increases in value, the Fund will increase in value at the same rate as the Accelerated Return, which is designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period. Likewise, there are situations during the Outcome Period in which the Fund may decrease in value at a higher rate than an associated decrease in the Underlying ETF. If the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has already experienced an Accelerated Return, an investor purchasing Shares at that price is subject to, and may experience losses at a higher rate than, any losses of the Underlying ETF for the remainder of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cap Change Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>A new Cap is established at the beginning of each Outcome Period and is dependent on prevailing market conditions at the time the Cap is established.

In the event that the Underlying ETF experiences gains in excess of the Cap for the Outcome Period, the Fund will not participate in, and will underperform the Underlying ETF to the extent of, those gains beyond the Cap. The Fund’s strategy seeks to deliver returns that are three times those of the Underlying ETF (subject to the Cap), if Shares are held at the time at which the Fund enters into the FLEX Options and held until those FLEX Options expire at the end of the Outcome Period. In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares.

The Fund seeks to actively manage its portfolio such that any transaction fees incurred by the Fund in connection with the management of the Fund’s assets will not impact the Fund’s performance in seeking to provide accelerated exposure to the Underlying ETF or the Fund’s ability to experience returns that match the Cap, to the extent the returns of the Underlying ETF are equal to or greater than the Cap. However, it is not guaranteed that the Fund will be able to successfully manage its assets to contemplate the transaction fees incurred by the Fund to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund. To the extent the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, the Cap will be provided after the consideration of dividends received, whereby the Fund has assumed an anticipated dividend rate, which is on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF. This assumed dividend rate may be less than dividends actually received by the Fund for the Outcome Period, in which case the Cap will be less than disclosed herein.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Investment Objective Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Certain circumstances under which the Fund might not achieve its objective include, but are not limited, to (i) if the Fund disposes of FLEX Options, (ii) if the Fund is unable to maintain the proportional relationship based on the number of FLEX Options in the Fund’s portfolio, (iii) a significant accrual of Fund expenses in connection with effecting the Fund’s principal investment strategy or (iv) adverse tax law changes or interpretations affecting the treatment of FLEX Options. If these factors were to occur, the Fund may be unable to achieve its investment objective, and investors may not receive the Outcomes described herein.

The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include: (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: (i) changing supply and demand relationships; (ii) government programs and policies; (iii) national and international political and economic events; (iv) changes in interest rates; (v) inflation and deflation; and (vi) changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms, which can magnify potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on share price. The Fund has taken the necessary steps to comply with the requirements of Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span> under the 1940 Act (“<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Rule 18f</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">-4</span></span>”) in its usage of FLEX Options. The Fund has adopted and implements a derivatives risk management program that contains policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Fund’s derivatives risks, has appointed a derivatives risk manager who is responsible for administrating the derivatives risk management program, complies with outer limitations on risks relating to its derivatives transactions and carries out enhanced reporting to the Board, the SEC and the public regarding its derivatives activities. To the extent the Fund is noncompliant with Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span>, the Fund may be required to adjust its investment portfolio which may, in turn, negatively impact the Fund’s ability to deliver the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes. In addition to the foregoing, the Fund is subject to the following risks associated with its use of derivative instruments:</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Clearing Member Default Risk.    </span>Transactions in some types of derivatives, including FLEX Options, are required to be centrally cleared (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“cleared derivatives”</span>). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house, such as the OCC, rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“clearing members”</span>) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. In cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to, and receive payments from, a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any option contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member’s individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with any clearing member as margin for its FLEX Options may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund’s clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance </p><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">of their clients’ obligations to the clearing house, there is a risk that the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member’s bankruptcy. The Fund is also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on the Fund’s behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member’s default. If a clearing member defaults the Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction entered into by the Fund with the clearing member. The loss of a clearing member for the Fund to transact with could result in increased transaction costs and other operational issues that could impede the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategy. If the Fund cannot find a clearing member to transact with on the Fund’s behalf, the Fund may be unable to effectively implement its investment strategy.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Correlation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on their expiration date. As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically will increasingly move with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, the value of the FLEX Options may vary prior to the expiration date because of related factors other than the value of the Underlying ETF. The value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options include interest rate changes and implied volatility levels of the Underlying ETF, among others. The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund typically do not increase or decrease at the same level as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis due to these factors (although they generally move in the same direction). Since the FLEX Options held by the Fund do not expire until one year after the commencement of the Outcome Period, it is possible that the degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF will be higher versus FLEX Options with shorter terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Counterparty Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Counterparty risk is the risk an issuer, guarantor or counterparty of a security in the Fund is unable or unwilling to meet its obligation on the security. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition, market activities, or for other reasons. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited and/or delayed recovery. The OCC acts as guarantor and central counterparty with respect to the FLEX Options. As a result, the ability of the Fund to meet its objective depends on the OCC being able to meet its obligations. In the event an OCC clearing member that is a counterparty of the Fund were to become insolvent, the Fund may have some or all of its FLEX Options closed without its consent or may experience delays or other difficulties in attempting to close or exercise its affected FLEX Options positions, both of which would impair the Fund’s ability to deliver on its investment strategy. The OCC’s rules and procedures are designed to facilitate the prompt settlement of options transactions and exercises, including for clearing member insolvencies. However, there is the risk that the OCC and its backup system will fail if clearing member insolvencies are substantial or widespread. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">FLEX Options Risk.    </span>The Fund will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC.

There may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in values option contracts and the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for certain option contracts.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund bears the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities, such as standardized options. In less liquid markets for the FLEX Options, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. In connection with the creation and redemption of Shares, to the extent market participants are not willing or able to enter into FLEX Option transactions with the Fund at prices that reflect the market price of the Shares, the Fund’s NAV and, in turn the share price of the Fund, could be negatively impacted.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless. The FLEX Options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike price on their expiration date. As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically increasingly moves with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, prior to such date, the value of the FLEX Options does not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis (although they generally move in the same direction). The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund will be determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. The value of the underlying FLEX Options will be affected by, among others, changes in the Underlying ETF’s share price, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual and implied volatility of the Underlying ETF and the remaining time to until the FLEX Options expire.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Liquidity Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>In the event that trading in the underlying FLEX Options is limited or absent, the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options may decrease. There is no guarantee that a liquid secondary trading market will exist for the FLEX Options. The trading in FLEX Options may be less deep and liquid than the market for certain other securities, including certain non<span class="nobreak">-customized</span> option contracts. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, terminating the FLEX Options may require the payment of a premium or acceptance of a discounted price and may take longer to complete. Additionally, the liquidation of a large number of FLEX Options may more significantly impact the price in a less liquid market. Further, the Fund requires a sufficient number of participants to facilitate the purchase and sale of options on an exchange to provide liquidity to the Fund for its FLEX Option positions. A less liquid trading market may adversely impact the value of the FLEX Options and the value of your investment.</p> </div> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Underlying ETF Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund’s investment performance largely depends on the investment performance and associated risks of the Underlying ETF. The Underlying ETF is subject to many of the same structural risks as the Fund that are described in more detail herein (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">see </span>“Risks Associated with ETFs” below). The Adviser expects to waive a portion of its management fee in an amount that equals to any acquired fund fees and expenses the Fund incurs as a result of any direct investment in the Underlying ETF. However, if the Adviser does not waive such expenses in the future, the Fund will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses, subjecting Fund shareholders to such expenses. Further, the risks of investing in an ETF also include the risks associated with the underlying investments held by the ETF. As such, the Fund may be subject to the following risks as a result of its exposure to the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof):</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Equity Securities Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Equity securities may decline in value because of declines in the price of a particular holding or the broad stock market. Such declines may relate directly to the issuer of a security or broader economic or market events, including changes in interest rates.

Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Information technology companies are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Large Capitalization Companies Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate and be less able to adapt to changing market conditions than smaller capitalization companies. Thus, the return on investment in securities of large capitalization companies may be less than the return on investment in securities of small and/or mid capitalization companies. The performance of large capitalization companies also tends to trail the overall market during different market cycles.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Concentration Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Through its exposure to the Underlying ETF, the Fund will concentrate in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries to the same extent as the Underlying ETF. To the extent the Fund has significant exposure in a single asset class or the securities of issuers within the same country, state, region, industry or sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Fund’s investments more than if the Fund were more broadly diversified. A significant exposure makes the Fund more susceptible to any single occurrence and may subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that is more broadly diversified.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Cyber Security Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>As the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the investment industry has become more susceptible to potential operational risks through breaches in cyber security. A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity. Such events could cause the Fund to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures and/or financial loss. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems through “hacking” or malicious software coding, but may also result from outside attacks such as denial<span class="nobreak">-of-service</span> attacks through efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users. In addition, cyber security breaches of the Fund’s third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers, such as its administrator, transfer agent, or custodian can also subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches. The Fund has established risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security. However, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because the Fund does not directly control the cyber security systems of issuers or third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Market Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund could lose money over short periods due to short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. Assets may decline in value due to factors affecting financial markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of FLEX Options or other assets may also decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or due to factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates will not have the same impact on all types of securities. Securities, including the Shares, are subject to market fluctuations and liquidity constraints that may be caused by such factors as economic, political, or regulatory developments, changes in interest rates, and/or perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of the Fund could decline in value or underperform other investments. The value of Shares may also decline as a result of market conditions. Factors such as inflation, changes in interest rates, changes in regulatory requirements, bank failures, political climate deterioration or developments, armed conflicts, natural disasters or future health crises, may negatively impact market conditions, and cause a decrease in the value of Shares. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy. These events, and any other future events, may adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Non</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">-Diversification</span></span><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> Risk.    </span>The Fund is classified as a “non<span class="nobreak">-diversified</span> company” under the 1940 Act.

The Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, experience increased volatility and be highly invested in certain issuers.</p> <div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Risks Associated with ETFs.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund is an ETF, and therefore, as a result of an ETF’s structure, is subject to the following risks:</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Authorized Participant Concentration Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Only an authorized participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as authorized participants on an agency basis (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, on behalf of other market participants). To the extent that authorized participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with orders for the issuance or redemption of Creation Units and no other authorized participant is able to step forward to fulfill the order, Shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting, and the bid/ask spread (the difference between the price that someone is willing to pay for Shares at a specific point in time versus the price at which someone is willing to sell) on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cash Transactions Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund may effectuate all or a portion of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units for cash, rather than in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> securities. As a result, an investment in the Fund may be less tax<span class="nobreak">-efficient</span> than an investment in an ETF that effectuates its Creation Units only on an in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> basis. ETFs are able to make in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> redemptions to avoid being taxed on gains on the distributed portfolio securities at the fund level. A fund that effects redemptions for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds and may be forced to recognize gains. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effectuated in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with special tax rules that apply to it. This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise be subject to, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span>, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. The Fund’s use of cash for creations and redemptions could also result in dilution to the Fund and increased transaction costs, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Market Maker Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>If the Fund has lower average daily trading volumes, it may rely on a small number of third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> market makers to provide a market for the purchase and sale of Shares. Any trading halt or other problem relating to the trading activity of these market makers could result in a dramatic change in the spread between the Fund’s NAV and the price at which the Shares are trading on the Exchange, which could result in a decrease in the market price of the Shares. In addition, decisions by market makers or authorized participants to reduce their role or step away from these activities in times of market stress could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying values of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the Fund’s market price. This reduced effectiveness could result in Shares trading at a discount to NAV and in greater than normal intra<span class="nobreak">-day</span> bid<span class="nobreak">-ask</span> spreads for Shares.</p> </div><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Operational Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error in the calculation of the Cap, processing and communication errors, errors of the Fund’s service providers, counterparties or other third<span class="nobreak">-parties</span>, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Fund and its Adviser and Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures.

The market price of Shares generally corresponds to movements in the Fund’s NAV as well as the relative supply and demand for Shares on the Exchange. The market price may be at, above (a premium) or below (a discount) the Fund’s NAV. Differences in market prices of Shares and the NAV per Share may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. These differences can be especially pronounced during times of market volatility or stress. During these periods, the demand for Shares may decrease considerably and cause the market price of Shares to deviate, and in some cases deviate significantly, from the Fund’s NAV and the bid/ask spread on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Trading Issues Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Although Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained. Trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. Market makers are under no obligation to make a market in the Shares, and authorized participants are not obligated to submit purchase or redemption orders for Creation Units. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="-sec-ix-redline:true;margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Tax Risk.    </span>The Fund has elected to be treated and intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“RIC”</span>) under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to be treated as a RIC, the Fund must meet certain income, diversification and distribution tests. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. The federal income tax treatment of certain aspects of the proposed operations of the Fund is not entirely clear, which could impact the Fund’s ability to qualify as a RIC. This includes the tax aspects of the Fund’s options strategy, its hedging strategy, the possible application of the “straddle” rules, and various loss limitation provisions of the Code. The Fund’s investments in offsetting positions with respect to the Underlying ETF may affect the character of gains or losses realized by the Fund under the Code’s “straddle” rules and may increase any short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> capital gains realized by the Fund. The Fund intends to treat any income it may derive from the FLEX Options as “qualifying income” under the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs. If the income is not qualifying income or the referenced asset is not appropriately treated as the issuer of the FLEX Options, the Fund could lose its own status as a RIC. To maintain its status as a RIC, the Fund must distribute, on an annual basis, at least 90% of its investment company taxable income </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">for each taxable year. In addition, to avoid a non<span class="nobreak">-deductible</span> excise tax, the Fund must distribute on a calendar year basis 98% of its ordinary taxable income and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each taxable year (plus 100% of any undistributed amounts for prior years). Separately, depending upon the circumstances, sales of its portfolio investments (including FLEX Options) to fund redemptions could cause the Fund to recognize income that the Fund is required to distribute to maintain the Fund’s RIC status and avoid the excise tax. Funding such distributions could require additional sales, which could require more distributions and affect the projected performance of the Fund. Alternatively, if the Fund only makes distributions to maintain its RIC status and becomes subject to the excise tax, that could also affect the projected performance of the Fund. In either case, the assets sold to fund redemptions, distributions or pay the excise tax will not be available to assist the Fund in meeting its target outcome. With respect to the RIC diversification test, identifying the issuer can depend on the terms and conditions of a given investment. There is no published Internal Revenue Service guidance or only limited case law on how to determine the “issuer” of certain derivatives that the Fund will enter into. Based upon language in the legislative history, the Fund intends to treat the issuer of the FLEX Options as the referenced asset, which, assuming the referenced asset qualifies as a RIC, would allow the Fund to qualify for special rules in the RIC diversification requirements. The FLEX Options included in the portfolio are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options. Under Section 1256 of the Code, certain types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options are treated as if they were sold (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, “marked to market”) at the end of each year. The Fund does not believe that the positions held by the Fund will be subject to Section 1256, which means that the positions will not be marked to market. There is a risk that because the offsetting FLEX Options are being held by a single person that the IRS may take the position that the FLEX Options, viewed together, should be treated as a single instrument for federal tax purposes. The result of such a position would be that the Fund would fail the RIC diversification tests causing the RIC to be taxed as an ordinary corporation, unless certain cure rights based upon reasonable cause may apply. The Fund has obtained an opinion of tax counsel that the FLEX Options should not be collapsed into a single instrument. However, such an opinion is not binding upon the IRS or the courts. In the event that a shareholder purchases Shares of the Fund before a distribution by the Fund, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Valuation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the valuation of the Fund’s FLEX Options will become more difficult. In market environments where there is reduced availability of reliable objective pricing data, the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser in determining the fair value of the security may play a greater role. While such determinations may be made in good faith, it may nevertheless be more difficult for the Fund to accurately assign a daily value.</p> Performance <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The bar chart and table below illustrate the annual calendar year returns of the Fund based on NAV as well as the average annual Fund returns.

It is important that an investor understand these characteristics before making an investment in the Fund. The Fund has adopted a policy pursuant to Rule 35d<span class="nobreak">-1</span> under the 1940 Act to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that provide exposure to the Invesco QQQ Trust<span class="Superscript" style="vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">SM</span>, Series 1.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund’s strategy has been specifically designed to produce the “Outcomes” described below based upon the performance of the Underlying ETF over the duration of the Outcome Period.

To the extent the Underlying ETF decreases in value over the duration of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide shareholders that hold Shares for the entire Outcome Period with a decrease in value that is approximately equal to the share price decrease experienced by the Underlying ETF.

The Cap represents the maximum percentage return an investor can achieve from an investment in the Fund over the duration of the Outcome Period. The Cap is set on the first day of the Outcome Period and is 21.15% prior to taking into account any fees or expenses charged to shareholders.

The current Outcome Period is from April<span class="nobreak"> </span>1, 2025 through March<span class="nobreak"> </span>31, 2026. The Fund’s sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes are designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, and are based upon the Fund’s NAV at the outset of the Outcome Period. Each FLEX Option’s value is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF during that time. Because the terms of the FLEX Options don’t change, the Accelerated Return and Cap each relate to the Fund’s NAV on the first day of the Outcome Period. Further, since the Fund’s option contracts are exercisable at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes are only provided at the end of the Outcome Period. Therefore, to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund for the Outcome Period, an investor must hold Shares from the commencement of the Outcome Period through its conclusion.<span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to provide the Outcomes.</span></p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund’s NAV is based upon the value of its portfolio. Although the value of the Underlying ETF’s share price is a significant component of the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options, the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options (and therefore, the Fund’s NAV) will not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a daily basis. The time remaining until those FLEX Options expire, which is at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, also affects their value. The degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF may be higher than if the FLEX Options utilized by the Fund had a shorter term.

Further, it is unlikely that the Fund’s value will increase at a rate that is the same rate as the Accelerated Return (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, an increase in value that is three times the increase in value experienced by the Underlying ETF) during the Outcome Period.

When the Fund’s annual Fund management fee of 0.79% of the Fund’s average daily net assets is taken into account, the Cap is 20.36%. The Cap will be further reduced by any shareholder transaction fees, any acquired fund fees and expenses, and any extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund. The Cap will change from one Outcome Period to the next based upon prevailing market conditions at the beginning of the Outcome Period.

In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price. FLEX Options are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> option contracts with uniquely customizable terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund seeks to achieve the Outcomes, including the Accelerated Return and Cap, by purchasing and selling call FLEX Options to create layers within the Fund’s portfolio. The customizable nature of FLEX Options allows the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> to select the share price of the Underlying ETF at which the option contract may be exercised. This is commonly known as the “strike price.” At the commencement of the Outcome Period, the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> specifically selects the strike price for each FLEX Option such that when the FLEX Options are exercised on the final day of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes may be obtained, depending on the performance of the Underlying ETF’s share price over the duration of the Outcome Period. Each of the FLEX Options purchased and sold throughout the Outcome Period are expected to have the same or similar terms (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e., </span>strike price and expiration) as the corresponding FLEX Options purchased and sold on the first day of the Outcome Period. The Fund utilizes European style option contracts, which are exercisable only on the expiration date of the option contract.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">For a given Outcome Period, the Fund may invest exclusively in FLEX Options or may purchase the Underlying ETF directly (and/or the components thereof) and FLEX Options to produce the Outcomes. To the extent the Fund invests solely in FLEX Options that reference the Underlying ETF, the Cap will be provided on a price return basis (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the Outcomes will be provided based on changes in the share price of the Underlying ETF), and the Fund will not receive the benefit </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">of any dividends. For Outcome Periods in which the Fund directly purchases the Underlying ETF, in addition to FLEX Options, to construct the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund will receive dividends from the Underlying ETF, and the Cap will be provided inclusive of dividends received (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the price returns of the Underlying ETF plus dividends received). If the Fund invests in the Underlying ETF directly (or the components thereof), to calculate the Cap the Adviser will assume an estimated dividend rate for the Underlying ETF (which is based on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF). <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">To the extent the dividends received by the Fund differ from this assumed rate, the Cap may be higher or lower than disclosed herein. </span>If the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, it will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses.

In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into or does not stay invested in the Fund for the entirety of the Outcome Period, any Accelerated Return realized by the investor may not match those that the Fund seeks to achieve. Additionally, if an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into and the Fund has risen in value to a level near the Cap, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares, including any available Accelerated Return. The Fund does not seek to provide investment outcomes on a daily or other short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, which is an attribute of other types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> funds that provide a daily, multiple exposure to a reference index (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, a “daily leveraged ETF”).

As a result, it is very unlikely that, on any given day during which the Underlying ETF increases in value, the Fund will increase in value at the same rate as the Accelerated Return, which is designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period. Likewise, there are situations during the Outcome Period in which the Fund may decrease in value at a higher rate than an associated decrease in the Underlying ETF. If the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has already experienced an Accelerated Return, an investor purchasing Shares at that price is subject to, and may experience losses at a higher rate than, any losses of the Underlying ETF for the remainder of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cap Change Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>A new Cap is established at the beginning of each Outcome Period and is dependent on prevailing market conditions at the time the Cap is established.

In the event that the Underlying ETF experiences gains in excess of the Cap for the Outcome Period, the Fund will not participate in, and will underperform the Underlying ETF to the extent of, those gains beyond the Cap. The Fund’s strategy seeks to deliver returns that are three times those of the Underlying ETF (subject to the Cap), if Shares are held at the time at which the Fund enters into the FLEX Options and held until those FLEX Options expire at the end of the Outcome Period. In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares. Further, because the FLEX Options are designed to produce the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> returns on the last day of the Outcome Period, if an investor sells Shares prior to the expiration date of the FLEX Options such investor may sell at a point where the Fund’s performance does not match or exceed the performance of the Underlying ETF over the Outcome Period, and therefore may sell at a point where the Fund has underperformed the Underlying ETF, even if such gains do not exceed the Cap.

However, it is not guaranteed that the Fund will be able to successfully manage its assets to contemplate the transaction fees incurred by the Fund to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund. To the extent the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, the Cap will be provided after the consideration of dividends received, whereby the Fund has assumed an anticipated dividend rate, which is on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF.

The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include: (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: (i) changing supply and demand relationships; (ii) government programs and policies; (iii) national and international political and economic events; (iv) changes in interest rates; (v) inflation and deflation; and (vi) changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms, which can magnify potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on share price. The Fund has taken the necessary steps to comply with the requirements of Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span> under the 1940 Act (“<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Rule 18f</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">-4</span></span>”) in its usage of FLEX Options. The Fund has adopted and implements a derivatives risk management program that contains policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Fund’s derivatives risks, has appointed a derivatives risk manager who is responsible for administrating the derivatives risk management program, complies with outer limitations on risks relating to its derivatives transactions and carries out enhanced reporting to the Board, the SEC and the public regarding its derivatives activities. To the extent the Fund is noncompliant with Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span>, the Fund may be required to adjust its investment portfolio which may, in turn, negatively impact the Fund’s ability to deliver the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes. In addition to the foregoing, the Fund is subject to the following risks associated with its use of derivative instruments:</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Clearing Member Default Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Transactions in some types of derivatives, including FLEX Options, are required to be centrally cleared (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“cleared derivatives”</span>). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house, such as the OCC, rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“clearing members”</span>) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. In cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to, and receive payments from, a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any option contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member’s individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with any clearing member as margin for its FLEX Options may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund’s clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance of their clients’ obligations to the clearing house, there is a risk that the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member’s bankruptcy. The Fund is also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on the Fund’s behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member’s default. If a clearing member defaults the Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction entered into by the Fund with the clearing member. The loss of a clearing member for the Fund to transact with could result in increased transaction costs and other operational issues that could impede the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategy. If the Fund cannot find a clearing member to transact with on the Fund’s behalf, the Fund may be unable to effectively implement its investment strategy.</p> </div><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Correlation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on their expiration date. As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically will increasingly move with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, the value of the FLEX Options may vary prior to the expiration date because of related factors other than the value of the Underlying ETF. The value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options include interest rate changes and implied volatility levels of the Underlying ETF, among others. The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund typically do not increase or decrease at the same level as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis due to these factors (although they generally move in the same direction). Since the FLEX Options held by the Fund do not expire until one year after the commencement of the Outcome Period, it is possible that the degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF will be higher versus FLEX Options with shorter terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Counterparty Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Counterparty risk is the risk an issuer, guarantor or counterparty of a security in the Fund is unable or unwilling to meet its obligation on the security. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition, market activities, or for other reasons. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited and/or delayed recovery. The OCC acts as guarantor and central counterparty with respect to the FLEX Options. As a result, the ability of the Fund to meet its objective depends on the OCC being able to meet its obligations. In the event an OCC clearing member that is a counterparty of the Fund were to become insolvent, the Fund may have some or all of its FLEX Options closed without its consent or may experience delays or other difficulties in attempting to close or exercise its affected FLEX Options positions, both of which would impair the Fund’s ability to deliver on its investment strategy. The OCC’s rules and procedures are designed to facilitate the prompt settlement of options transactions and exercises, including for clearing member insolvencies. However, there is the risk that the OCC and its backup system will fail if clearing member insolvencies are substantial or widespread. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">FLEX Options Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC. The use of option contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of option contracts are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, changes in interest or currency exchange rates, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events.

Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities, such as standardized options. In less liquid markets for the FLEX Options, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. In connection with the creation and redemption of Shares, to the extent market participants are not willing or able to enter into FLEX Option transactions with the Fund at prices that reflect the market price of the Shares, the Fund’s NAV and, in turn the share price of the Fund, could be negatively impacted.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless.

The trading in FLEX Options may be less deep and liquid than the market for certain other securities, including certain non<span class="nobreak">-customized</span> option contracts. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, terminating the FLEX Options may require the payment of a premium or acceptance of a discounted price and may take longer to complete. Additionally, the liquidation of a large number of FLEX Options may more significantly impact the price in a less liquid market. Further, the Fund requires a sufficient number of participants to facilitate the purchase and sale of options on an exchange to provide liquidity to the Fund for its FLEX Option positions.

The Adviser expects to waive a portion of its management fee in an amount that equals to any acquired fund fees and expenses the Fund incurs as a result of any direct investment in the Underlying ETF. However, if the Adviser does not waive such expenses in the future, the Fund will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses, subjecting Fund shareholders to such expenses. Further, the risks of investing in an ETF also include the risks associated with the underlying investments held by the ETF. As such, the Fund may be subject to the following risks as a result of its exposure to the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof):</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Equity Securities Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Equity securities may decline in value because of declines in the price of a particular holding or the broad stock market.

Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Information technology companies are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Large Capitalization Companies Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate and be less able to adapt to changing market conditions than smaller capitalization companies. Thus, the return on investment in securities of large capitalization companies may be less than the return on investment in securities of small and/or mid capitalization companies.

To the extent the Fund has significant exposure in a single asset class or the securities of issuers within the same country, state, region, industry or sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Fund’s investments more than if the Fund were more broadly diversified. A significant exposure makes the Fund more susceptible to any single occurrence and may subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that is more broadly diversified.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Cyber Security Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>As the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the investment industry has become more susceptible to potential operational risks through breaches in cyber security. A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity. Such events could cause the Fund to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures and/or financial loss. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems through “hacking” or malicious software coding, but may also result from outside attacks such as denial<span class="nobreak">-of-service</span> attacks through efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users. In addition, cyber security breaches of the Fund’s third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers, such as its administrator, transfer agent, or custodian can also subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches. The Fund has established risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security. However, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because the Fund does not directly control the cyber security systems of issuers or third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Market Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund could lose money over short periods due to short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. Assets may decline in value due to factors affecting financial markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of FLEX Options or other assets may also decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or due to factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates will not have the same impact on all types of securities. Securities, including the Shares, are subject to market fluctuations and liquidity constraints that may be caused by such factors as economic, political, or regulatory developments, changes in interest rates, and/or perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of the Fund could decline in value or underperform other investments. The value of Shares may also decline as a result of market conditions. Factors such as inflation, changes in interest rates, changes in regulatory requirements, bank failures, political climate deterioration or developments, armed conflicts, natural disasters or future health crises, may negatively impact market conditions, and cause a decrease in the value of Shares. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy. These events, and any other future events, may adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Non</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">-Diversification</span></span><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> Risk.    </span>The Fund is classified as a “non<span class="nobreak">-diversified</span> company” under the 1940 Act.

To the extent that authorized participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with orders for the issuance or redemption of Creation Units and no other authorized participant is able to step forward to fulfill the order, Shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting, and the bid/ask spread (the difference between the price that someone is willing to pay for Shares at a specific point in time versus the price at which someone is willing to sell) on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cash Transactions Risk.    </span>The Fund may effectuate all or a portion of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units for cash, rather than in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> securities.

A fund that effects redemptions for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds and may be forced to recognize gains. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effectuated in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with special tax rules that apply to it. This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise be subject to, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span>, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. The Fund’s use of cash for creations and redemptions could also result in dilution to the Fund and increased transaction costs, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Market Maker Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>If the Fund has lower average daily trading volumes, it may rely on a small number of third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> market makers to provide a market for the purchase and sale of Shares. Any trading halt or other problem relating to the trading activity of these market makers could result in a dramatic change in the spread between the Fund’s NAV and the price at which the Shares are trading on the Exchange, which could result in a decrease in the market price of the Shares. In addition, decisions by market makers or authorized participants to reduce their role or step away from these activities in times of market stress could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying values of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the Fund’s market price. This reduced effectiveness could result in Shares trading at a discount to NAV and in greater than normal intra<span class="nobreak">-day</span> bid<span class="nobreak">-ask</span> spreads for Shares.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Operational Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error in the calculation of the Cap, processing and communication errors, errors of the Fund’s service providers, counterparties or other third<span class="nobreak">-parties</span>, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures.

The market price of Shares generally corresponds to movements in the Fund’s NAV as well as the relative supply and demand for Shares on the Exchange. The market price may be at, above (a premium) or below (a discount) the Fund’s NAV. Differences in market prices of Shares and the NAV per Share may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. These differences can be especially pronounced during times of market volatility or stress. During these periods, the demand for Shares may decrease considerably and cause the market price of Shares to deviate, and in some cases deviate significantly, from the Fund’s NAV and the bid/ask spread on Shares may widen.</p> </div><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Trading Issues Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Although Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained.

In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. Market makers are under no obligation to make a market in the Shares, and authorized participants are not obligated to submit purchase or redemption orders for Creation Units.

In order to be treated as a RIC, the Fund must meet certain income, diversification and distribution tests. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. The federal income tax treatment of certain aspects of the proposed operations of the Fund is not entirely clear, which could impact the Fund’s ability to qualify as a RIC. This includes the tax aspects of the Fund’s options strategy, its hedging strategy, the possible application of the “straddle” rules, and various loss limitation provisions of the Code. The Fund’s investments in offsetting positions with respect to the Underlying ETF may affect the character of gains or losses realized by the Fund under the Code’s “straddle” rules and may increase any short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> capital gains realized by the Fund. The Fund intends to treat any income it may derive from the FLEX Options as “qualifying income” under the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs. If the income is not qualifying income or the referenced asset is not appropriately treated as the issuer of the FLEX Options, the Fund could lose its own status as a RIC. To maintain its status as a RIC, the Fund must distribute, on an annual basis, at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for each taxable year. In addition, to avoid a non<span class="nobreak">-deductible</span> excise tax, the Fund must distribute on a calendar year basis 98% of its ordinary taxable income and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each taxable year (plus 100% of any undistributed amounts for prior years). Separately, depending upon the circumstances, sales of its portfolio investments (including FLEX Options) to fund redemptions could cause the Fund to recognize income that the Fund is required to distribute to maintain the Fund’s RIC status and avoid the excise tax. Funding such distributions could require additional sales, which could require more distributions and affect the projected performance of the Fund. Alternatively, if the Fund only makes distributions to maintain its RIC status and becomes subject to the excise tax, that could also affect the projected performance of the Fund. In either case, the assets sold to fund redemptions, distributions or pay the excise tax will not be available to assist the Fund in meeting its target outcome. With respect to the RIC diversification test, identifying the issuer can depend on the terms and conditions of a given investment. There is no published Internal Revenue Service guidance or only limited case law on how to determine the “issuer” of certain derivatives that the Fund will enter into. Based upon language in the legislative history, the Fund intends to treat the issuer of the FLEX Options as the referenced asset, which, assuming the referenced asset qualifies as a RIC, would allow the Fund to qualify for special rules in the RIC diversification requirements. The FLEX Options included in the portfolio are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options. Under Section 1256 of the Code, certain types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options are treated as if they were sold (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, “marked to market”) at the end of each year. The Fund does not believe that the positions held by the Fund will be subject to Section 1256, which means that the positions will not be marked to market. There is a risk that because the offsetting FLEX Options are being held by a single person that the IRS may take the position that the FLEX Options, viewed together, should be treated as a single instrument </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">for federal tax purposes. The result of such a position would be that the Fund would fail the RIC diversification tests causing the RIC to be taxed as an ordinary corporation, unless certain cure rights based upon reasonable cause may apply. The Fund has obtained an opinion of tax counsel that the FLEX Options should not be collapsed into a single instrument. However, such an opinion is not binding upon the IRS or the courts. In the event that a shareholder purchases Shares of the Fund before a distribution by the Fund, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Valuation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the valuation of the Fund’s FLEX Options will become more difficult. In market environments where there is reduced availability of reliable objective pricing data, the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser in determining the fair value of the security may play a greater role. While such determinations may be made in good faith, it may nevertheless be more difficult for the Fund to accurately assign a daily value.</p> Performance <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The bar chart and table below illustrate the annual calendar year returns of the Fund based on NAV as well as the average annual Fund returns.

The current Outcome Period is from April<span class="nobreak"> </span>1, 2025 through March<span class="nobreak"> </span>31, 2026. The Fund’s sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes are designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, and are based upon the Fund’s NAV at the outset of the Outcome Period. Each FLEX Option’s value is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF during that time. Because the terms of the FLEX Options don’t change, the Accelerated Return, Buffer and Cap each relate to the Fund’s NAV on the first day of the Outcome Period. Further, since the Fund’s option contracts are exercisable at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes are only provided at the end of the Outcome Period. Therefore, to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund for the Outcome Period, an investor must hold Shares from the commencement of the Outcome Period through its conclusion.<span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to provide the Outcomes.</span></p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund’s NAV is based upon the value of its portfolio which consists of FLEX Options, and may also include shares of the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof). Although the value of the Underlying ETF’s share price is a significant component of the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options, the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options (and therefore, the Fund’s NAV) will not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a daily basis. The time remaining until those FLEX Options expire, which is at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, also affects their value. The degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF may be higher than if the FLEX Options utilized by the Fund had a shorter term. The Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> generally anticipates that the Fund’s NAV will increase on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price increases and will decrease on days when the Underlying ETF’s share </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">price decreases, but that the rate of such increase or decrease may be less than that experienced by the Underlying ETF. Further, it is unlikely that the Fund’s value will increase at a rate that is the same rate as the Accelerated Return (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, an increase in value that is two times the increase in value experienced by the Underlying ETF) during the Outcome Period.

When the Fund’s annual Fund management fee of 0.79% of the Fund’s average daily net assets is taken into account, the Cap is 11.99%. The Cap will be further reduced by any shareholder transaction fees, any acquired fund fees and expenses, and any extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund.

The effect sought to be created by the Buffer is that if the Underlying ETF’s share price has decreased in value over the course of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to be returned the amount of its principal investment (if the Underlying ETF’s share price decreased in value by 9% or less) or experience a loss that is 9% less than the loss experienced by the Underlying ETF (if the Underlying ETF’s share price decreased in value by more than 9%). <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">If the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has experienced any Accelerated Return, an investor purchasing Shares at that price may be subject to losses that exceed any losses of the Underlying ETF for the remainder of the Outcome Period.</span> A shareholder may lose their entire investment.

In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price. FLEX Options are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> option contracts with uniquely customizable terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund seeks to achieve the Outcomes, including the Accelerated Return, Buffer and Cap, by purchasing and selling call and put FLEX Options to create layers within the Fund’s portfolio. The customizable nature of FLEX Options allows the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> to select the share price of the Underlying ETF at which the option contract may be exercised. This is commonly known as the “strike price.” At the commencement of the Outcome Period, the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> specifically selects the strike price for each FLEX Option such that when the FLEX Options are exercised on the final day of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes may be obtained, depending on the performance of the Underlying ETF’s share price over the duration of the Outcome Period. Each of the FLEX Options purchased and sold throughout the Outcome Period are expected to have the same or similar terms (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e., </span>strike price and expiration) as the corresponding FLEX Options purchased and sold on the first day of the Outcome Period.

To the extent the Fund invests solely in FLEX Options that reference the Underlying ETF, the Buffer and Cap will be provided on a price return basis (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the Outcomes will be provided based on changes in the share price of the Underlying ETF), and the Fund will not receive the benefit of any dividends. For Outcome Periods in which the Fund directly purchases the Underlying ETF, in addition to FLEX Options, to construct the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund will receive dividends from the Underlying ETF, and the Buffer and Cap will be provided inclusive of dividends received (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the price returns of the Underlying ETF plus dividends received). If the Fund invests in the Underlying ETF directly (or the components thereof), to calculate the Buffer and Cap the Adviser will assume an estimated dividend rate for the Underlying ETF (which is based on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF). <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">To the extent the dividends received by the Fund differ from this assumed historical rate, the Buffer and Cap may be higher or lower than disclosed herein. </span>If the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, it will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses.

To the extent the Underlying ETF concentrates (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent.

Likewise, there are situations during the Outcome Period in which the Fund may decrease in value at a higher rate than an associated decrease in the Underlying ETF.

These risks include: (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: (i) changing supply and demand relationships; (ii) government programs and policies; (iii) national and international political and economic events; (iv) changes in interest rates; (v) inflation and deflation; and (vi) changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms, which can magnify potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on share price. The Fund has taken the necessary steps to comply with the requirements of Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span> under the 1940 Act (“<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Rule 18f</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">-4</span></span>”) in its usage of FLEX Options. The Fund has adopted and implements a derivatives risk management program that contains policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Fund’s derivatives risks, has appointed a derivatives risk manager who is responsible for administrating the derivatives risk management program, complies with outer limitations on risks relating to its derivatives transactions and carries out enhanced reporting to the Board, the SEC and the public regarding its derivatives activities. To the extent the Fund is noncompliant with Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span>, the Fund may be required to adjust its investment portfolio which may, in turn, negatively impact the Fund’s ability to deliver the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes. In addition to the foregoing, the Fund is subject to the following risks associated with its use of derivative instruments:</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Clearing Member Default Risk.    </span>Transactions in some types of derivatives, including FLEX Options, are required to be centrally cleared (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“cleared derivatives”</span>). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house, such as the OCC, rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“clearing members”</span>) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. In cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to, and receive payments from, a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any option contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member’s individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with any clearing member as margin for its FLEX Options may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund’s clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance of their clients’ obligations to the clearing house, there is a risk that the assets of the Fund </p><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member’s bankruptcy. The Fund is also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on the Fund’s behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member’s default. If a clearing member defaults the Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction entered into by the Fund with the clearing member. The loss of a clearing member for the Fund to transact with could result in increased transaction costs and other operational issues that could impede the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategy. If the Fund cannot find a clearing member to transact with on the Fund’s behalf, the Fund may be unable to effectively implement its investment strategy.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Correlation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on their expiration date. As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically will increasingly move with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, the value of the FLEX Options may vary prior to the expiration date because of related factors other than the value of the Underlying ETF. The value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options include interest rate changes and implied volatility levels of the Underlying ETF, among others. The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund typically do not increase or decrease at the same level as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis due to these factors (although they generally move in the same direction). Since the FLEX Options held by the Fund do not expire until one year after the commencement of the Outcome Period, it is possible that the degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF will be higher versus FLEX Options with shorter terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Counterparty Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Counterparty risk is the risk an issuer, guarantor or counterparty of a security in the Fund is unable or unwilling to meet its obligation on the security. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition, market activities, or for other reasons. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited and/or delayed recovery. The OCC acts as guarantor and central counterparty with respect to the FLEX Options. As a result, the ability of the Fund to meet its objective depends on the OCC being able to meet its obligations. In the event an OCC clearing member that is a counterparty of the Fund were to become insolvent, the Fund may have some or all of its FLEX Options closed without its consent or may experience delays or other difficulties in attempting to close or exercise its affected FLEX Options positions, both of which would impair the Fund’s ability to deliver on its investment strategy. The OCC’s rules and procedures are designed to facilitate the prompt settlement of options transactions and exercises, including for clearing member insolvencies. However, there is the risk that the OCC and its backup system will fail if clearing member insolvencies are substantial or widespread. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">FLEX Options Risk.    </span>The Fund will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC.

There may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in values option contracts and the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for certain option contracts.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund bears the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities, such as standardized options. In less liquid markets for the FLEX Options, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. In connection with the creation and redemption of Shares, to the extent market participants are not willing or able to enter into FLEX Option transactions with the Fund at prices that reflect the market price of the Shares, the Fund’s NAV and, in turn the share price of the Fund, could be negatively impacted.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless. The FLEX Options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike price on their expiration date.

However, prior to such date, the value of the FLEX Options does not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis (although they generally move in the same direction). The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund will be determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods.

There is no guarantee that a liquid secondary trading market will exist for the FLEX Options. The trading in FLEX Options may be less deep and liquid than the market for certain other securities, including certain non<span class="nobreak">-customized</span> option contracts. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, terminating the FLEX Options may require the payment of a premium or acceptance of a discounted price and may take longer to complete. Additionally, the liquidation of a large number of FLEX Options may more significantly impact the price in a less liquid market. Further, the Fund requires a sufficient number of participants to facilitate the purchase and sale of options on an exchange to provide liquidity to the Fund for its FLEX Option positions. A less liquid trading market may adversely impact the value of the FLEX Options and the value of your investment.</p> </div> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Underlying ETF Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund’s investment performance largely depends on the investment performance and associated risks of the Underlying ETF. The Underlying ETF is subject to many of the same structural risks as the Fund that are described in more detail herein (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">see </span>“Risks Associated with ETFs” below). The Adviser expects to waive a portion of its management fee in an amount that equals to any acquired fund fees and expenses the Fund incurs as a result of any direct investment in the Underlying ETF. However, if the Adviser does not waive such expenses in the future, the Fund will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses, subjecting Fund shareholders to such expenses. Further, the risks of investing in an ETF also include the risks associated with the underlying investments held by the ETF. As such, the Fund may be subject to the following risks as a result of its exposure to the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof):</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Equity Securities Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Equity securities may decline in value because of declines in the price of a particular holding or the broad stock market.

Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Information technology companies are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Large Capitalization Companies Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate and be less able to adapt to changing market conditions than smaller capitalization companies. Thus, the return on investment in securities of large capitalization companies may be less than the return on investment in securities of small and/or mid capitalization companies.

To the extent the Fund has significant exposure in a single asset class or the securities of issuers within the same country, state, region, industry or sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Fund’s investments more than if the Fund were more broadly diversified. A significant exposure makes the Fund more susceptible to any single occurrence and may subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that is more broadly diversified.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Cyber Security Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>As the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the investment industry has become more susceptible to potential operational risks through breaches in cyber security. A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity. Such events could cause the Fund to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures and/or financial loss. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems through “hacking” or malicious software coding, but may also result from outside attacks such as denial<span class="nobreak">-of-service</span> attacks through efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users. In addition, cyber security breaches of the Fund’s third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers, such as its administrator, transfer agent, or custodian can also subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches. The Fund has established risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security. However, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because the Fund does not directly control the cyber security systems of issuers or third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Market Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund could lose money over short periods due to short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. Assets may decline in value due to factors affecting financial markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of FLEX Options or other assets may also decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or due to factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates will not have the same impact on all types of securities. Securities, including the Shares, are subject to market fluctuations and liquidity constraints that may be caused by such factors as economic, political, or regulatory developments, changes in interest rates, and/or perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of the Fund could decline in value or underperform other investments. The value of Shares may also decline as a result of market conditions. Factors such as inflation, changes in interest rates, changes in regulatory requirements, bank failures, political climate deterioration or developments, armed conflicts, natural disasters or future health crises, may negatively impact market conditions, and cause a decrease in the value of Shares. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy. These events, and any other future events, may adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Non</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">-Diversification</span></span><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> Risk.    </span>The Fund is classified as a “non<span class="nobreak">-diversified</span> company” under the 1940 Act.

To the extent that authorized participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with orders for the issuance or redemption of Creation Units and no other authorized participant is able to step forward to fulfill the order, Shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting, and the bid/ask spread (the difference between the price that someone is willing to pay for Shares at a specific point in time versus the price at which someone is willing to sell) on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cash Transactions Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund may effectuate all or a portion of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units for cash, rather than in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> securities. As a result, an investment in the Fund may be less tax<span class="nobreak">-efficient</span> than an investment in an ETF that effectuates its Creation Units only on an in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> basis. ETFs are able to make in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> redemptions to avoid being taxed on gains on the distributed portfolio securities at the fund level. A fund that effects redemptions for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds and may be forced to recognize gains. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effectuated in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with special tax rules that apply to it. This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise be subject to, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span>, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. The Fund’s use of cash for creations and redemptions could also result in dilution to the Fund and increased transaction costs, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Market Maker Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>If the Fund has lower average daily trading volumes, it may rely on a small number of third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> market makers to provide a market for the purchase and sale of Shares.

In addition, decisions by market makers or authorized participants to reduce their role or step away from these activities in times of market stress could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying values of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the Fund’s market price.

The market price of Shares generally corresponds to movements in the Fund’s NAV as well as the relative supply and demand for Shares on the Exchange. The market price may be at, above (a premium) or below (a discount) the Fund’s NAV. Differences in market prices of Shares and the NAV per Share may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. These differences can be especially pronounced during times of market volatility or stress. During these periods, the demand for Shares may decrease considerably and cause the market price of Shares to deviate, and in some cases deviate significantly, from the Fund’s NAV and the bid/ask spread on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Trading Issues Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Although Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained.

In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules.

In order to be treated as a RIC, the Fund must meet certain income, diversification and distribution tests. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. The federal income tax treatment of certain aspects of the proposed operations of the Fund is not entirely clear, which could impact the Fund’s ability to qualify as a RIC. This includes the tax aspects of the Fund’s options strategy, its hedging strategy, the possible application of the “straddle” rules, and various loss limitation provisions of the Code. The Fund’s investments in offsetting positions with respect to the Underlying ETF may affect the character of gains or losses realized by the Fund under the Code’s “straddle” rules and may increase any short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> capital gains realized by the Fund. The Fund intends to treat any income it may derive from the FLEX Options as “qualifying income” under the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs. If the income is not qualifying income or the referenced asset is not appropriately treated as the issuer of the FLEX Options, the Fund could lose its own status as a RIC. To maintain its status as a </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">RIC, the Fund must distribute, on an annual basis, at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for each taxable year. In addition, to avoid a non<span class="nobreak">-deductible</span> excise tax, the Fund must distribute on a calendar year basis 98% of its ordinary taxable income and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each taxable year (plus 100% of any undistributed amounts for prior years). Separately, depending upon the circumstances, sales of its portfolio investments (including FLEX Options) to fund redemptions could cause the Fund to recognize income that the Fund is required to distribute to maintain the Fund’s RIC status and avoid the excise tax. Funding such distributions could require additional sales, which could require more distributions and affect the projected performance of the Fund. Alternatively, if the Fund only makes distributions to maintain its RIC status and becomes subject to the excise tax, that could also affect the projected performance of the Fund. In either case, the assets sold to fund redemptions, distributions or pay the excise tax will not be available to assist the Fund in meeting its target outcome. With respect to the RIC diversification test, identifying the issuer can depend on the terms and conditions of a given investment. There is no published Internal Revenue Service guidance or only limited case law on how to determine the “issuer” of certain derivatives that the Fund will enter into. Based upon language in the legislative history, the Fund intends to treat the issuer of the FLEX Options as the referenced asset, which, assuming the referenced asset qualifies as a RIC, would allow the Fund to qualify for special rules in the RIC diversification requirements. The FLEX Options included in the portfolio are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options. Under Section 1256 of the Code, certain types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options are treated as if they were sold (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, “marked to market”) at the end of each year. The Fund does not believe that the positions held by the Fund will be subject to Section 1256, which means that the positions will not be marked to market. There is a risk that because the offsetting FLEX Options are being held by a single person that the IRS may take the position that the FLEX Options, viewed together, should be treated as a single instrument for federal tax purposes. The result of such a position would be that the Fund would fail the RIC diversification tests causing the RIC to be taxed as an ordinary corporation, unless certain cure rights based upon reasonable cause may apply. The Fund has obtained an opinion of tax counsel that the FLEX Options should not be collapsed into a single instrument. However, such an opinion is not binding upon the IRS or the courts. In the event that a shareholder purchases Shares of the Fund before a distribution by the Fund, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Valuation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the valuation of the Fund’s FLEX Options will become more difficult.

To the extent the Underlying ETF decreases in value over the duration of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide shareholders that hold Shares for the entire Outcome Period with a decrease in value that is approximately equal to the share price decrease experienced by the Underlying ETF.

The Cap is set on the first day of the Outcome Period and is 16.65% prior to taking into account any fees or expenses charged to shareholders.

Each FLEX Option’s value is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF during that time. Because the terms of the FLEX Options don’t change, the Accelerated Return and Cap each relate to the Fund’s NAV on the first day of the Outcome Period. Further, since the Fund’s option contracts are exercisable at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes are only provided at the end of the Outcome Period. Therefore, to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund for the Outcome Period, an investor must hold Shares from the commencement of the Outcome Period through its conclusion.<span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to provide the Outcomes.</span></p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund’s NAV is based upon the value of its portfolio which consists of FLEX Options, and may also include shares of the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof). Although the value of the Underlying ETF’s share price is a significant component of the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options, the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options (and therefore, the Fund’s NAV) will not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a daily basis. The time remaining until those FLEX Options expire, which is at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, also affects their value. The degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF may be higher than if the FLEX Options utilized by the Fund had a shorter term. The Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> generally anticipates that the Fund’s NAV will increase on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price increases and will decrease on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price decreases, but that the rate of such increase or decrease may be less than that experienced by the Underlying ETF. Further, it is unlikely that the Fund’s value will increase at a rate that is the same rate as the Accelerated Return (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, an increase in value that is three times the increase in value experienced by the Underlying ETF) during the Outcome Period. The Fund does not seek to provide the Outcomes on a daily or short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, but instead seeks to provide the Outcomes at the conclusion of the Outcome Period for those investors who have held Shares for the duration of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">For additional information regarding the Outcome Period, including the potential impacts of purchasing and selling intra<span class="nobreak">-Outcome</span> Period, <span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">see</span> “Additional Information Regarding the Fund’s Principal Investment Strategies.”</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="BoldItalic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Potential Upside Accelerated Return Subject to a Cap.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund’s potential upside returns are unlike other investment products.

Therefore, even though the Fund’s returns (and any potential Accelerated Return) are based upon the performance of the Underlying ETF, if the Underlying ETF experiences returns for the Outcome Period in excess of the Cap, the Fund will not participate in such excess returns.</span> The Cap is determined on the first day of the Outcome Period and is 16.65% prior to taking into account any fees or expenses charged to shareholders. When the Fund’s annual Fund management fee of 0.79% of the Fund’s average daily net assets is taken into account, the Cap is 15.86%. The Cap will be further reduced by any shareholder transaction fees, any acquired fund fees and expenses, and any extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund. The Cap will change from one Outcome Period to the next based upon prevailing market conditions at the beginning of the Outcome Period.

In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price.

The customizable nature of FLEX Options allows the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> to select the share price of the Underlying ETF at which the option contract may be exercised. This is commonly known as the “strike price.” At the commencement of the Outcome Period, the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> specifically selects the strike price for each FLEX Option such that when the FLEX Options are exercised on the final day of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes may be obtained, depending on the performance of the Underlying ETF’s share price over the duration of the Outcome Period. Each of the FLEX Options purchased and sold throughout the Outcome Period are expected to have the same or similar terms (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e., </span>strike price and expiration) as the corresponding FLEX Options purchased and sold on the first day of the Outcome Period. The Fund utilizes European style option contracts, which are exercisable only on the expiration date of the option contract.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">For a given Outcome Period, the Fund may invest exclusively in FLEX Options or may purchase the Underlying ETF directly (and/or the components thereof) and FLEX Options to produce the Outcomes.

For Outcome Periods in which the Fund directly purchases the Underlying ETF, in addition to FLEX Options, to construct the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund will receive dividends from the Underlying ETF, and the Cap will be provided inclusive of dividends received (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the price returns of the Underlying ETF plus dividends received). If the Fund invests in the Underlying ETF directly (or the components thereof), to calculate the Cap the Adviser will assume an estimated dividend rate for the Underlying ETF (which is based on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF). <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">To the extent the dividends received by the Fund differ from this assumed rate, the Cap may be higher or lower than disclosed herein. </span>If the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, it will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses.

The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). To the extent the Underlying ETF concentrates (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent.

In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into or does not stay invested in the Fund for the entirety of the Outcome Period, any Accelerated Return realized by the investor may not match those that the Fund seeks to achieve. Additionally, if an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into and the Fund has risen in value to a level near the Cap, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares, including any available Accelerated Return. The Fund does not seek to provide investment outcomes on a daily or other short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, which is an attribute of other types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> funds that provide a daily, multiple exposure to a reference index (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, a “daily leveraged ETF”).

As a result, it is very unlikely that, on any given day during which the Underlying ETF increases in value, the Fund will increase in value at the same rate as the Accelerated Return, which is designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period. Likewise, there are situations during the Outcome Period in which the Fund may decrease in value at a higher rate than an associated decrease in the Underlying ETF. If the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has already experienced </p><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">an Accelerated Return, an investor purchasing Shares at that price is subject to, and may experience losses at a higher rate than, any losses of the Underlying ETF for the remainder of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cap Change Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>A new Cap is established at the beginning of each Outcome Period and is dependent on prevailing market conditions at the time the Cap is established.

In the event that the Underlying ETF experiences gains in excess of the Cap for the Outcome Period, the Fund will not participate in, and will underperform the Underlying ETF to the extent of, those gains beyond the Cap. The Fund’s strategy seeks to deliver returns that are three times those of the Underlying ETF (subject to the Cap), if Shares are held at the time at which the Fund enters into the FLEX Options and held until those FLEX Options expire at the end of the Outcome Period. In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares. Further, because the FLEX Options are designed to produce the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> returns on the last day of the Outcome Period, if an investor sells Shares prior to the expiration date of the FLEX Options such investor may sell at a point where the Fund’s performance does not match or exceed the performance of the Underlying ETF over the Outcome Period, and therefore may sell at a point where the Fund has underperformed the Underlying ETF, even if such gains do not exceed the Cap. The Fund seeks to actively manage its portfolio such that any transaction fees incurred by the Fund in connection with the management of the Fund’s assets will not impact the Fund’s performance in seeking to provide accelerated exposure to the Underlying ETF or the Fund’s ability to experience returns that match the Cap, to the extent the returns of the Underlying ETF are equal to or greater than the Cap. However, it is not guaranteed that the Fund will be able to successfully manage its assets to contemplate the transaction fees incurred by the Fund to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund. To the extent the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, the Cap will be provided after the consideration of dividends received, whereby the Fund has assumed an anticipated dividend rate, which is on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF. This assumed dividend rate may be less than dividends actually received by the Fund for the Outcome Period, in which case the Cap will be less than disclosed herein.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Investment Objective Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Certain circumstances under which the Fund might not achieve its objective include, but are not limited, to (i) if the Fund disposes of FLEX Options, (ii) if the Fund is unable to maintain the proportional relationship based on the number of FLEX Options in the Fund’s portfolio, (iii) a significant accrual of Fund expenses in connection with effecting the Fund’s principal investment strategy or (iv) adverse tax law changes or interpretations affecting the treatment of FLEX Options. If these factors were to occur, the Fund may be unable to achieve its investment objective, and investors may not receive the Outcomes described herein.

The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include: (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: (i) changing supply and demand relationships; (ii) government programs and policies; (iii) national and international political and economic events; (iv) changes in interest rates; (v) inflation and deflation; and (vi) changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms, which can magnify potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on share price. The Fund has taken the necessary steps to comply with the requirements of Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span> under the 1940 Act (“<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Rule 18f</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">-4</span></span>”) in its usage of FLEX Options. The Fund has adopted and implements a derivatives risk management program that contains policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Fund’s derivatives risks, has appointed a derivatives risk manager who is responsible for administrating the derivatives risk management program, complies with outer limitations on risks relating to its derivatives transactions and carries out enhanced reporting to the Board, the SEC and the public regarding its derivatives activities. To the extent the Fund is noncompliant with Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span>, the Fund may be required to adjust its investment </p><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">portfolio which may, in turn, negatively impact the Fund’s ability to deliver the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes. In addition to the foregoing, the Fund is subject to the following risks associated with its use of derivative instruments:</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Clearing Member Default Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Transactions in some types of derivatives, including FLEX Options, are required to be centrally cleared (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“cleared derivatives”</span>). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house, such as the OCC, rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“clearing members”</span>) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. In cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to, and receive payments from, a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any option contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member’s individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with any clearing member as margin for its FLEX Options may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund’s clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance of their clients’ obligations to the clearing house, there is a risk that the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member’s bankruptcy. The Fund is also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on the Fund’s behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member’s default. If a clearing member defaults the Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction entered into by the Fund with the clearing member. The loss of a clearing member for the Fund to transact with could result in increased transaction costs and other operational issues that could impede the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategy. If the Fund cannot find a clearing member to transact with on the Fund’s behalf, the Fund may be unable to effectively implement its investment strategy.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Correlation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on their expiration date. As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically will increasingly move with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, the value of the FLEX Options may vary prior to the expiration date because of related factors other than the value of the Underlying ETF. The value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options include interest rate changes and implied volatility levels of the Underlying ETF, among others. The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund typically do not increase or decrease at the same level as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis due to these factors (although they generally move in the same direction). Since the FLEX Options held by the Fund do not expire until one year after the commencement of the Outcome Period, it is possible that the degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF will be higher versus FLEX Options with shorter terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Counterparty Risk.    </span>Counterparty risk is the risk an issuer, guarantor or counterparty of a security in the Fund is unable or unwilling to meet its obligation on the security.

The OCC acts as guarantor and central counterparty with respect to the FLEX Options. As a result, the ability of the Fund to meet its objective depends on the OCC being able to meet its obligations. In the event an OCC clearing member that is a counterparty of the Fund were to become insolvent, the Fund may have some or all of its FLEX Options closed without its consent or may experience delays or other difficulties in attempting to close or exercise its affected FLEX Options positions, both of which would impair the Fund’s ability to deliver on its investment strategy. The OCC’s rules and procedures are designed to facilitate the prompt settlement of options transactions and exercises, including for clearing member insolvencies. However, there is the risk that the OCC and its backup system will fail if clearing member insolvencies are substantial or widespread. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">FLEX Options Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC. The use of option contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of option contracts are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, changes in interest or currency exchange rates, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events.

In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities, such as standardized options. In less liquid markets for the FLEX Options, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. In connection with the creation and redemption of Shares, to the extent market participants are not willing or able to enter into FLEX Option transactions with the Fund at prices that reflect the market price of the Shares, the Fund’s NAV and, in turn the share price of the Fund, could be negatively impacted.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless.

The trading in FLEX Options may be less deep and liquid than the market for certain other securities, including certain non<span class="nobreak">-customized</span> option contracts. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, terminating the FLEX Options may require the payment of a premium or acceptance of a discounted price and may take longer to complete. Additionally, the liquidation of a large number of FLEX Options may more significantly impact the price in a less liquid market. Further, the Fund requires a sufficient number of participants to facilitate the purchase and sale of options on an exchange to provide liquidity to the Fund for its FLEX Option positions.

The Underlying ETF is subject to many of the same structural risks as the Fund that are described in more detail herein (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">see </span>“Risks Associated with ETFs” below). The Adviser expects to waive a portion of its management fee in an amount that equals to any acquired fund fees and expenses the Fund incurs as a result of any direct investment in the Underlying ETF. However, if the Adviser does not waive such expenses in the future, the Fund will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses, subjecting Fund shareholders to such expenses. Further, the risks of investing in an ETF also include the risks associated with the underlying investments held by the ETF. As such, the Fund may be subject to the following risks as a result of its exposure to the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof):</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Equity Securities Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Equity securities may decline in value because of declines in the price of a particular holding or the broad stock market.

Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Information technology companies are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Large Capitalization Companies Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate and be less able to adapt to changing market conditions than smaller capitalization companies. Thus, the return on investment in securities of large capitalization companies may be less than the return on investment in securities of small and/or mid capitalization companies.

To the extent the Fund has significant exposure in a single asset class or the securities of issuers within the same country, state, region, industry or sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Fund’s investments more than if the Fund were more broadly diversified. A significant exposure makes the Fund more susceptible to any single occurrence and may subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that is more broadly diversified.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Cyber Security Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>As the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the investment industry has become more susceptible to potential operational risks through breaches in cyber security. A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity. Such events could cause the Fund to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures and/or financial loss. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems through “hacking” or malicious software coding, but may also result from outside attacks such as denial<span class="nobreak">-of-service</span> attacks through efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users. In addition, cyber security breaches of the Fund’s third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers, such as its administrator, transfer agent, or custodian can also subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches. The Fund has established risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security. However, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because the Fund does not directly control the cyber security systems of issuers or third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Market Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund could lose money over short periods due to short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. Assets may decline in value due to factors affecting financial markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of FLEX Options or other assets may also decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or due to factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates will not have the same impact on all types of securities. Securities, including the Shares, are subject to market fluctuations and liquidity constraints that may be caused by such factors as economic, political, or regulatory developments, changes in interest rates, and/or perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of the Fund could decline in value or underperform other investments. The value of Shares may also decline as a result of market conditions. Factors such as inflation, changes in interest rates, changes in regulatory requirements, bank failures, political climate deterioration or developments, armed conflicts, natural disasters or future health crises, may negatively impact market conditions, and cause a decrease in the value of Shares. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy. These events, and any other future events, may adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Non</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">-Diversification</span></span><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> Risk.    </span>The Fund is classified as a “non<span class="nobreak">-diversified</span> company” under the 1940 Act.

The Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, experience increased volatility and be highly invested in certain issuers.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Risks Associated with ETFs.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund is an ETF, and therefore, as a result of an ETF’s structure, is subject to the following risks:</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Authorized Participant Concentration Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Only an authorized participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund.

To the extent that authorized participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with orders for the issuance or redemption of Creation Units and no other authorized participant is able to step forward to fulfill the order, Shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting, and the bid/ask spread (the difference between the price that someone is willing to pay for Shares at a specific point in time versus the price at which someone is willing to sell) on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cash Transactions Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund may effectuate all or a portion of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units for cash, rather than in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> securities. As a result, an investment in the Fund may be less tax<span class="nobreak">-efficient</span> than an investment in an ETF that effectuates its Creation Units only on an in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> basis. ETFs are able to make in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> redemptions to avoid being taxed on gains on the distributed portfolio securities at the fund level. A fund that effects redemptions for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds and may be forced to recognize gains. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effectuated in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with special tax rules that apply to it. This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise be subject to, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span>, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. The Fund’s use of cash for creations and redemptions could also result in dilution to the Fund and increased transaction costs, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Market Maker Risk.    </span>If the Fund has lower average daily trading volumes, it may rely on a small number of third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> market makers to provide a market for the purchase and sale of Shares.

In addition, decisions by market makers or authorized participants to reduce their role or step away from these activities in times of market stress could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying values of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the Fund’s market price.

The market price of Shares generally corresponds to movements in the Fund’s NAV as well as the relative supply and demand for Shares on the Exchange. The market price may be at, above (a premium) or below (a discount) the Fund’s NAV. Differences in market prices of Shares and the NAV per Share may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. These differences can be especially pronounced during times of market volatility or stress. During these periods, the demand for Shares may decrease considerably and cause the market price of Shares to deviate, and in some cases deviate significantly, from the Fund’s NAV and the bid/ask spread on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Trading Issues Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Although Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained.

In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. Market makers are under no obligation to make a market in the Shares, and authorized participants are not obligated to submit purchase or redemption orders for Creation Units.

In order to be treated as a RIC, the Fund must meet certain income, diversification and distribution tests. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. The federal income tax treatment of certain aspects of the proposed operations of the Fund is not entirely clear, which could impact the Fund’s ability to qualify as a RIC. This includes the tax aspects of the Fund’s options strategy, its hedging strategy, the possible application of the “straddle” rules, and various loss limitation provisions of the Code. The Fund’s investments in offsetting positions with respect to the Underlying ETF may affect the character of gains or </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">losses realized by the Fund under the Code’s “straddle” rules and may increase any short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> capital gains realized by the Fund. The Fund intends to treat any income it may derive from the FLEX Options as “qualifying income” under the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs. If the income is not qualifying income or the referenced asset is not appropriately treated as the issuer of the FLEX Options, the Fund could lose its own status as a RIC. To maintain its status as a RIC, the Fund must distribute, on an annual basis, at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for each taxable year. In addition, to avoid a non<span class="nobreak">-deductible</span> excise tax, the Fund must distribute on a calendar year basis 98% of its ordinary taxable income and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each taxable year (plus 100% of any undistributed amounts for prior years). Separately, depending upon the circumstances, sales of its portfolio investments (including FLEX Options) to fund redemptions could cause the Fund to recognize income that the Fund is required to distribute to maintain the Fund’s RIC status and avoid the excise tax. Funding such distributions could require additional sales, which could require more distributions and affect the projected performance of the Fund. Alternatively, if the Fund only makes distributions to maintain its RIC status and becomes subject to the excise tax, that could also affect the projected performance of the Fund. In either case, the assets sold to fund redemptions, distributions or pay the excise tax will not be available to assist the Fund in meeting its target outcome. With respect to the RIC diversification test, identifying the issuer can depend on the terms and conditions of a given investment. There is no published Internal Revenue Service guidance or only limited case law on how to determine the “issuer” of certain derivatives that the Fund will enter into. Based upon language in the legislative history, the Fund intends to treat the issuer of the FLEX Options as the referenced asset, which, assuming the referenced asset qualifies as a RIC, would allow the Fund to qualify for special rules in the RIC diversification requirements. The FLEX Options included in the portfolio are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options. Under Section 1256 of the Code, certain types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options are treated as if they were sold (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, “marked to market”) at the end of each year. The Fund does not believe that the positions held by the Fund will be subject to Section 1256, which means that the positions will not be marked to market. There is a risk that because the offsetting FLEX Options are being held by a single person that the IRS may take the position that the FLEX Options, viewed together, should be treated as a single instrument for federal tax purposes. The result of such a position would be that the Fund would fail the RIC diversification tests causing the RIC to be taxed as an ordinary corporation, unless certain cure rights based upon reasonable cause may apply. The Fund has obtained an opinion of tax counsel that the FLEX Options should not be collapsed into a single instrument. However, such an opinion is not binding upon the IRS or the courts. In the event that a shareholder purchases Shares of the Fund before a distribution by the Fund, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Valuation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the valuation of the Fund’s FLEX Options will become more difficult. In market environments where there is reduced availability of reliable objective pricing data, the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser in determining the fair value of the security may play a greater role.

It is important that an investor understand these characteristics before making an investment in the Fund. The Fund has adopted a policy pursuant to Rule 35d<span class="nobreak">-1</span> under the 1940 Act to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that provide exposure to the Invesco QQQ Trust<span class="Superscript" style="vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">SM</span>, Series 1.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund’s strategy has been specifically designed to produce the “Outcomes” described below based upon the performance of the Underlying ETF over the duration of the Outcome Period.

To the extent the Underlying ETF decreases in value over the duration of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide shareholders that hold Shares for the entire Outcome Period with a decrease in value that is approximately equal to the share price decrease experienced by the Underlying ETF. Unlike other ETFs that utilize defined outcome investing strategies, the Fund does not provide a buffer (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, protection against a specified percentage amount of Underlying ETF losses over a period of time) against Underlying ETF losses.</p> <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:36pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="bullet" style="font-family:Symbol, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">•</span><span style="width: 18px;display: inline-block;">   </span><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Upside Accelerated Returns Subject to a Cap.    </span>The Fund seeks to provide shareholders that hold Shares for the entire Outcome Period with the Accelerated Return, if the Underlying ETF appreciates in value, subject to the Cap. The Cap represents the maximum percentage return an investor can achieve from an investment in the Fund over the duration of the Outcome Period. The Cap is set on the first day of the Outcome Period and is 18.99% prior to taking into account any fees or expenses charged to shareholders. When the Fund’s annual Fund management fee of 0.79% of the Fund’s average daily net assets is taken into account, the Cap is 18.20%.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">To produce the Outcomes, the Fund invests in FLEX Options that reference the Underlying ETF and may also invest in the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof) directly.

To the extent the Underlying ETF concentrates (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent.

The current Outcome Period is from July<span class="nobreak"> </span>1, 2025 through June<span class="nobreak"> </span>30, 2026. The Fund’s sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes are designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, and are based upon the Fund’s NAV at the outset of the Outcome Period. Each FLEX Option’s value is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF during that time. Because the terms of the FLEX Options don’t change, the Accelerated Return and Cap each relate to the Fund’s NAV on the first day of the Outcome Period. Further, since the Fund’s option contracts are exercisable at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes are only provided at the end of the Outcome Period. Therefore, to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund for the Outcome Period, an investor must hold Shares from the commencement of the Outcome Period through its conclusion.<span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to provide the Outcomes.</span></p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund’s NAV is based upon the value of its portfolio. Although the value of the Underlying ETF’s share price is a significant component of the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options, the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options (and therefore, the Fund’s NAV) will not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a daily basis. The time remaining until those FLEX Options expire, which is at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, also affects their value. The degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF may be higher than if the FLEX Options utilized by the Fund had a shorter term. The Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> generally anticipates that the Fund’s NAV will increase on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price increases and will decrease on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price decreases, but that the rate of such increase or decrease may be less than that experienced by the Underlying ETF. Further, it is unlikely that the Fund’s value will increase at a rate that is the same rate as the Accelerated Return (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, an increase in value that is three times the increase in value experienced by the Underlying ETF) during the Outcome Period.

If the Underlying ETF increases in value over the duration of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide returns that are three times the increase experienced by the Underlying ETF, subject to the Cap. <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">The Cap represents the maximum percentage return an investor can achieve from an investment in the Fund over the duration of the Outcome Period. Therefore, even though the Fund’s returns (and any potential Accelerated Return) are based upon the performance of the Underlying ETF, if the Underlying ETF experiences returns for the Outcome Period in excess of the Cap, the Fund will not participate in such excess returns.</span> The Cap is determined on the first day of the Outcome Period and is 18.99% prior to taking into account any fees or expenses charged to shareholders. When the Fund’s annual Fund management fee of 0.79% of the Fund’s average daily net assets is taken into account, the Cap is 18.20%. The Cap will be further reduced by any shareholder transaction fees, any acquired fund fees and expenses, and any extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund. The Cap will change from one Outcome Period to the next based upon prevailing market conditions at the beginning of the Outcome Period.

In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price. FLEX Options are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> option contracts with uniquely customizable terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund seeks to achieve the Outcomes, including the Accelerated Return and Cap, by purchasing and selling call FLEX Options to create layers within the Fund’s portfolio. The customizable nature of FLEX Options allows the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> to select the share price of the Underlying ETF at which the option contract may be exercised. This is commonly known as the “strike price.” At the commencement of the Outcome Period, the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> specifically selects the strike price for each FLEX Option such that when the FLEX Options are exercised on the final day of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes may be obtained, depending on the performance of the Underlying ETF’s share price over the duration of the Outcome Period. Each of the FLEX Options purchased and sold throughout the Outcome Period are expected to have the same or similar terms (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e., </span>strike price and expiration) as the corresponding FLEX Options purchased and sold on the first day of the Outcome Period. The Fund utilizes European style option contracts, which are exercisable only on the expiration date of the option contract.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">For a given Outcome Period, the Fund may invest exclusively in FLEX Options or may purchase the Underlying ETF directly (and/or the components thereof) and FLEX Options to produce the Outcomes.

For Outcome Periods in which the Fund directly purchases the Underlying ETF, in addition to FLEX Options, to construct the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund will receive dividends from the Underlying ETF, and the Cap will be provided inclusive of dividends received (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the price returns of the Underlying ETF plus dividends received). If the Fund invests in the Underlying ETF directly (or the components thereof), to calculate the Cap the Adviser will assume an estimated dividend rate for the Underlying ETF (which is based on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF). <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">To the extent the dividends received by the Fund differ from this assumed rate, the Cap may be higher or lower than disclosed herein. </span>If the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, it will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses.

In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into or does not stay invested in the Fund for the entirety of the Outcome Period, any Accelerated Return realized by the investor may not match those that the Fund seeks to achieve. Additionally, if an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into and the Fund has risen in value to a level near the Cap, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares, including any available Accelerated Return. The Fund does not seek to provide investment outcomes on a daily or other short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, which is an attribute of other types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> funds that provide a daily, multiple exposure to a reference index (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, a “daily leveraged ETF”).

Likewise, there are situations during the Outcome Period in which the Fund may decrease in value at a higher rate than an associated decrease in the Underlying ETF. If the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has already experienced an Accelerated Return, an investor purchasing Shares at that price is subject to, and may experience losses at a higher rate than, any losses of the Underlying ETF for the remainder of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cap Change Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>A new Cap is established at the beginning of each Outcome Period and is dependent on prevailing market conditions at the time the Cap is established.

However, it is not guaranteed that the Fund will be able to successfully manage its assets to contemplate the transaction fees incurred by the Fund to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund.

The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include: (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: (i) changing supply and demand relationships; (ii) government programs and policies; (iii) national and international political and economic events; (iv) changes in interest rates; (v) inflation and deflation; and (vi) changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms, which can magnify potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on share price. The Fund has taken the necessary steps to comply with the requirements of Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span> under the 1940 Act (“<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Rule 18f</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">-4</span></span>”) in its usage of FLEX Options. The Fund has adopted and implements a derivatives risk management program that contains policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Fund’s derivatives risks, has appointed a derivatives risk manager who is responsible for administrating the derivatives risk management program, complies with outer limitations on risks relating to its derivatives transactions and carries out enhanced reporting to the Board, the SEC and the public regarding its derivatives activities. To the extent the Fund is noncompliant with Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span>, the Fund may be required to adjust its investment portfolio which may, in turn, negatively impact the Fund’s ability to deliver the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes. In addition to the foregoing, the Fund is subject to the following risks associated with its use of derivative instruments:</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Clearing Member Default Risk.    </span>Transactions in some types of derivatives, including FLEX Options, are required to be centrally cleared (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“cleared derivatives”</span>). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house, such as the OCC, rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“clearing members”</span>) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. In cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to, and receive payments from, a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any option contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member’s individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with any clearing member as margin for its FLEX Options may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund’s clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance of their clients’ obligations to the clearing house, there is a risk that the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member’s bankruptcy. The Fund is also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on the Fund’s behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member’s default. If a clearing member defaults the Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction </p> </div><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">entered into by the Fund with the clearing member. The loss of a clearing member for the Fund to transact with could result in increased transaction costs and other operational issues that could impede the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategy. If the Fund cannot find a clearing member to transact with on the Fund’s behalf, the Fund may be unable to effectively implement its investment strategy.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Correlation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on their expiration date. As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically will increasingly move with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, the value of the FLEX Options may vary prior to the expiration date because of related factors other than the value of the Underlying ETF. The value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options include interest rate changes and implied volatility levels of the Underlying ETF, among others. The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund typically do not increase or decrease at the same level as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis due to these factors (although they generally move in the same direction). Since the FLEX Options held by the Fund do not expire until one year after the commencement of the Outcome Period, it is possible that the degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF will be higher versus FLEX Options with shorter terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Counterparty Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Counterparty risk is the risk an issuer, guarantor or counterparty of a security in the Fund is unable or unwilling to meet its obligation on the security. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition, market activities, or for other reasons. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited and/or delayed recovery. The OCC acts as guarantor and central counterparty with respect to the FLEX Options. As a result, the ability of the Fund to meet its objective depends on the OCC being able to meet its obligations. In the event an OCC clearing member that is a counterparty of the Fund were to become insolvent, the Fund may have some or all of its FLEX Options closed without its consent or may experience delays or other difficulties in attempting to close or exercise its affected FLEX Options positions, both of which would impair the Fund’s ability to deliver on its investment strategy. The OCC’s rules and procedures are designed to facilitate the prompt settlement of options transactions and exercises, including for clearing member insolvencies. However, there is the risk that the OCC and its backup system will fail if clearing member insolvencies are substantial or widespread. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">FLEX Options Risk.    </span>The Fund will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC. The use of option contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of option contracts are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, changes in interest or currency exchange rates, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time </p> </div><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events.

In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities, such as standardized options. In less liquid markets for the FLEX Options, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. In connection with the creation and redemption of Shares, to the extent market participants are not willing or able to enter into FLEX Option transactions with the Fund at prices that reflect the market price of the Shares, the Fund’s NAV and, in turn the share price of the Fund, could be negatively impacted.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless.

In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, terminating the FLEX Options may require the payment of a premium or acceptance of a discounted price and may take longer to complete. Additionally, the liquidation of a large number of FLEX Options may more significantly impact the price in a less liquid market. Further, the Fund requires a sufficient number of participants to facilitate the purchase and sale of options on an exchange to provide liquidity to the Fund for its FLEX Option positions. A less liquid trading market may adversely impact the value of the FLEX Options and the value of your investment.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Underlying ETF Risk.    </span>The Fund’s investment performance largely depends on the investment performance and associated risks of the Underlying ETF.

During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates will not have the same impact on all types of securities. Securities, including the Shares, are subject to market fluctuations and liquidity constraints that may be caused by such factors as economic, political, or regulatory developments, changes in interest rates, and/or perceived trends in securities prices.

To the extent that authorized participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with orders for the issuance or redemption of Creation Units and no other authorized participant is able to step forward to fulfill the order, Shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting, and the bid/ask spread (the difference between the price that someone is willing to pay for Shares at a specific point in time versus the price at which someone is willing to sell) on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cash Transactions Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund may effectuate all or a portion of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units for cash, rather than in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> securities. As a result, an investment in the Fund may be less tax<span class="nobreak">-efficient</span> than an investment in an ETF that effectuates its Creation Units only on an in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> basis. ETFs are able to make in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> redemptions to avoid being taxed on gains on the distributed portfolio securities at the fund level. A fund that effects redemptions for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds and may be forced to recognize gains. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effectuated in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with special tax rules that apply to it. This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise be subject to, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span>, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. The Fund’s use of cash for creations and redemptions could also result in dilution to the Fund and increased transaction costs, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Market Maker Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>If the Fund has lower average daily trading volumes, it may rely on a small number of third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> market makers to provide a market for the purchase and sale of Shares.

In addition, decisions by market makers or authorized participants to reduce their role or step away from these activities in times of market stress could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying values of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the Fund’s market price.

The market price of Shares generally corresponds to movements in the Fund’s NAV as well as the relative supply and demand for Shares on the Exchange. The market price may be at, above (a premium) or below (a discount) the Fund’s NAV. Differences in market prices of Shares and the NAV per Share may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. These differences can be especially pronounced during times of market volatility or stress. During these periods, the demand for Shares may decrease considerably and cause the market price of Shares to deviate, and in some cases deviate significantly, from the Fund’s NAV and the bid/ask spread on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Trading Issues Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Although Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained.

In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. Market makers are under no obligation to make a market in the Shares, and authorized participants are not obligated to submit purchase or redemption orders for Creation Units.

In order to be treated as a RIC, the Fund must meet certain income, diversification and distribution tests. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. The federal income tax treatment of certain aspects of the proposed operations of the Fund is not entirely clear, which could impact the Fund’s ability to qualify as a RIC. This includes the tax aspects of the Fund’s options strategy, its hedging strategy, the possible application of the “straddle” rules, and various loss limitation provisions of the Code. The Fund’s investments in offsetting positions with respect to the Underlying ETF may affect the character of gains or losses realized by the Fund under the Code’s “straddle” rules and may increase any short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> capital gains realized by the Fund. The Fund intends to treat any income it may derive from the FLEX Options as “qualifying income” under the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs. If the income is not qualifying income or the referenced asset is not appropriately treated as the issuer of the FLEX Options, the Fund could lose its own status as a RIC. To maintain its status as a RIC, the Fund must distribute, on an annual basis, at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for each taxable year. In addition, to avoid a non<span class="nobreak">-deductible</span> excise tax, the Fund must </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">distribute on a calendar year basis 98% of its ordinary taxable income and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each taxable year (plus 100% of any undistributed amounts for prior years). Separately, depending upon the circumstances, sales of its portfolio investments (including FLEX Options) to fund redemptions could cause the Fund to recognize income that the Fund is required to distribute to maintain the Fund’s RIC status and avoid the excise tax. Funding such distributions could require additional sales, which could require more distributions and affect the projected performance of the Fund. Alternatively, if the Fund only makes distributions to maintain its RIC status and becomes subject to the excise tax, that could also affect the projected performance of the Fund. In either case, the assets sold to fund redemptions, distributions or pay the excise tax will not be available to assist the Fund in meeting its target outcome. With respect to the RIC diversification test, identifying the issuer can depend on the terms and conditions of a given investment. There is no published Internal Revenue Service guidance or only limited case law on how to determine the “issuer” of certain derivatives that the Fund will enter into. Based upon language in the legislative history, the Fund intends to treat the issuer of the FLEX Options as the referenced asset, which, assuming the referenced asset qualifies as a RIC, would allow the Fund to qualify for special rules in the RIC diversification requirements. The FLEX Options included in the portfolio are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options. Under Section 1256 of the Code, certain types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options are treated as if they were sold (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, “marked to market”) at the end of each year. The Fund does not believe that the positions held by the Fund will be subject to Section 1256, which means that the positions will not be marked to market. There is a risk that because the offsetting FLEX Options are being held by a single person that the IRS may take the position that the FLEX Options, viewed together, should be treated as a single instrument for federal tax purposes. The result of such a position would be that the Fund would fail the RIC diversification tests causing the RIC to be taxed as an ordinary corporation, unless certain cure rights based upon reasonable cause may apply. The Fund has obtained an opinion of tax counsel that the FLEX Options should not be collapsed into a single instrument. However, such an opinion is not binding upon the IRS or the courts. In the event that a shareholder purchases Shares of the Fund before a distribution by the Fund, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Valuation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the valuation of the Fund’s FLEX Options will become more difficult.

While such determinations may be made in good faith, it may nevertheless be more difficult for the Fund to accurately assign a daily value.</p> Performance <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The bar chart and table below illustrate the annual calendar year returns of the Fund based on NAV as well as the average annual Fund returns.

The current Outcome Period is from July<span class="nobreak"> </span>1, 2025 through June<span class="nobreak"> </span>30, 2026. The Fund’s sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes are designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, and are based upon the Fund’s NAV at the outset of the Outcome Period. Each FLEX Option’s value is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF during that time. Because the terms of the FLEX Options don’t change, the Accelerated Return, Buffer and Cap each relate to the Fund’s NAV on the first day of the Outcome Period. Further, since the Fund’s option contracts are exercisable at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes are only provided at the end of the Outcome Period. Therefore, to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund for the Outcome Period, an investor must hold Shares from the commencement of the Outcome Period through its conclusion.<span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to provide the Outcomes.</span></p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund’s NAV is based upon the value of its portfolio which consists of FLEX Options, and may also include shares of the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof). Although the value of the Underlying ETF’s share price is a significant component of the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options, the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options (and therefore, the Fund’s NAV) will not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a daily basis. The time remaining until those FLEX Options expire, which is at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, also affects their value. The degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF may be higher than if the FLEX Options utilized by the Fund had a shorter term. The Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> generally anticipates that the Fund’s NAV will increase on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price increases and will decrease on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price decreases, but that the rate of such increase or decrease may be less than that experienced by the Underlying ETF. Further, it is unlikely that the Fund’s value will increase at a rate that is </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">the same rate as the Accelerated Return (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, an increase in value that is two times the increase in value experienced by the Underlying ETF) during the Outcome Period.

If the Underlying ETF increases in value over the duration of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide returns that are twice the increase experienced by the Underlying ETF, subject to the Cap. <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">The Cap represents the maximum percentage return an investor can achieve from an investment in the Fund over the duration of the Outcome Period. Therefore, even though the Fund’s returns (and any potential Accelerated Return) are based upon the performance of the Underlying ETF, if the Underlying ETF experiences returns for the Outcome Period in excess of the Cap, the Fund will not participate in such excess returns.</span> The Cap is determined on the first day of the Outcome Period and is 11.88% prior to taking into account any fees or expenses charged to shareholders. When the Fund’s annual Fund management fee of 0.79% of the Fund’s average daily net assets is taken into account, the Cap is 11.09%. The Cap will be further reduced by any shareholder transaction fees, any acquired fund fees and expenses, and any extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund.

In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price. FLEX Options are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> option contracts with uniquely customizable terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund seeks to achieve the Outcomes, including the Accelerated Return, Buffer and Cap, by purchasing and selling call and put FLEX Options to create layers within the Fund’s portfolio. The customizable nature of FLEX Options allows the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> to select the share price of the Underlying ETF at which the option contract may be exercised. This is commonly known as the “strike price.” At the commencement of the Outcome Period, the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> specifically selects the strike price for each FLEX Option such that when the FLEX Options are exercised on the final day of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes may be obtained, depending on the performance of the Underlying ETF’s share price over the duration of the Outcome Period. Each of the FLEX Options purchased and sold throughout the Outcome Period are expected to have the same or similar terms (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e., </span>strike price and expiration) as the corresponding FLEX Options purchased and sold on the first day of the Outcome Period. The Fund utilizes European style option contracts, which are exercisable only on the expiration date of the option contract.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">For a given Outcome Period, the Fund may invest exclusively in FLEX Options or may purchase the Underlying ETF directly (and/or the components thereof) and FLEX Options to produce the Outcomes. To the extent the Fund invests solely in FLEX Options that reference the Underlying ETF, the Buffer and Cap will be provided on a price return basis (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the Outcomes will be provided based on changes in the share price of the Underlying ETF), and the Fund will not receive the benefit of any dividends. For Outcome Periods in which the Fund directly purchases the Underlying ETF, in addition to FLEX Options, to construct the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund will receive dividends from the Underlying ETF, and the Buffer and Cap will be provided inclusive of dividends received (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the price returns of the Underlying ETF plus dividends received). If the Fund invests in the Underlying ETF directly (or the components thereof), to calculate the Buffer and Cap the Adviser will assume an estimated dividend rate for the Underlying ETF (which is based on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF). <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">To the extent the dividends received by the Fund differ from this assumed historical rate, the Buffer and Cap may be higher or lower than disclosed herein. </span>If the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, it will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses.

The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). To the extent the Underlying ETF concentrates (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent You could lose money by investing in the Fund.

In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into or does not stay invested in the Fund for the entirety of the Outcome Period, any Accelerated Return realized by the investor may not match those that the Fund seeks to achieve. Additionally, if an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into and the Fund has risen in value to a level near the Cap, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares, including any available Accelerated Return. The Fund does not seek to provide investment outcomes on a daily or other short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, which is an attribute of other types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> funds that provide a daily, multiple exposure to a reference index (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, a “daily leveraged ETF”).

As a result, it is very unlikely that, on any given day during which the Underlying ETF increases in value, the Fund will increase in value at the same rate as the Accelerated Return, which is designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period. Likewise, there are situations during the Outcome Period in which the Fund may decrease in value at a higher rate than an associated decrease in the Underlying ETF. If the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has already experienced an Accelerated Return, an investor purchasing Shares at that price is subject to, and may experience losses at a higher rate than, any losses of the Underlying ETF for the remainder of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Buffered Loss Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>There can be no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its strategy to provide buffer protection against Underlying ETF losses if the Underlying ETF’s share price decreases by 9% or less over the duration of the Outcome Period.

The Fund does not provide principal protection or non<span class="nobreak">-principal</span> protection, and an investor may experience significant losses on its investment, including the loss of its entire investment. To the extent the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, the Buffer will be provided after the consideration of dividends received, whereby the Fund has assumed an anticipated dividend rate, which is on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF.

The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include: (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: (i) changing supply and demand relationships; (ii) government programs and policies; (iii) national and international political and economic events; (iv) changes in interest rates; (v) inflation and deflation; and (vi) changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms, which can magnify potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on share price. The Fund has taken the necessary steps to comply with the requirements of Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span> under the 1940 Act (“<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Rule 18f</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">-4</span></span>”) in its usage of FLEX Options. The Fund has adopted and implements a derivatives risk management program that contains policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Fund’s derivatives risks, has appointed a derivatives risk manager who is responsible for administrating the derivatives risk management program, complies with outer limitations on risks relating to its derivatives transactions and carries out enhanced reporting to the Board, the SEC and the public regarding its derivatives activities. To the extent the Fund is noncompliant with Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span>, the Fund may be required to adjust its investment portfolio which may, in turn, negatively impact the Fund’s ability to deliver the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes. In addition to the foregoing, the Fund is subject to the following risks associated with its use of derivative instruments:</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Clearing Member Default Risk.    </span>Transactions in some types of derivatives, including FLEX Options, are required to be centrally cleared (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“cleared derivatives”</span>). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house, such as the OCC, rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“clearing members”</span>) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. In cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to, and receive payments from, a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any option contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member’s individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with any clearing member as margin for its FLEX Options may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund’s clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance of their clients’ obligations to the clearing house, there is a risk that the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member’s bankruptcy. The Fund is also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on the Fund’s behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member’s default.

As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically will increasingly move with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, the value of the FLEX Options may vary prior to the expiration date because of related factors other than the value of the Underlying ETF. The value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options include interest rate changes and implied volatility levels of the Underlying ETF, among others. The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund typically do not increase or decrease at the same level as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis due to these factors (although they generally move in the same direction). Since the FLEX Options held by the Fund do not expire until one year after the commencement of the Outcome Period, it is possible that the degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF will be higher versus FLEX Options with shorter terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Counterparty Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Counterparty risk is the risk an issuer, guarantor or counterparty of a security in the Fund is unable or unwilling to meet its obligation on the security. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition, market activities, or for other reasons. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited and/or delayed recovery. The OCC acts as guarantor and central counterparty with respect to the FLEX Options. As a result, the ability of the Fund to meet its objective depends on the OCC being able to meet its obligations. In the event an OCC clearing member that is a counterparty of the Fund were to become insolvent, the Fund may have some or all of its FLEX Options closed without its consent or may experience delays or other difficulties in attempting to close or exercise its affected FLEX Options positions, both of which would impair the Fund’s ability to deliver on its investment strategy. The OCC’s rules and procedures are designed to facilitate the prompt settlement of options transactions and exercises, including for clearing member insolvencies. However, there is the risk that the OCC and its backup system will fail if clearing member insolvencies are substantial or widespread. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">FLEX Options Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC. The use of option contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of option contracts are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, changes in interest or currency exchange rates, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events.

In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities, such as standardized options. In less liquid markets for the FLEX Options, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. In connection with the creation and redemption of Shares, to the extent market participants are not willing or able to enter into FLEX Option transactions with the Fund at prices that reflect the market price of the Shares, the Fund’s NAV and, in turn the share price of the Fund, could be negatively impacted.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless.

Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Information technology companies are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Large Capitalization Companies Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate and be less able to adapt to changing market conditions than smaller capitalization companies.

Such events could cause the Fund to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures and/or financial loss. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems through “hacking” or malicious software coding, but may also result from outside attacks such as denial<span class="nobreak">-of-service</span> attacks through efforts to make network services </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">unavailable to intended users.

During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates will not have the same impact on all types of securities. Securities, including the Shares, are subject to market fluctuations and liquidity constraints that may be caused by such factors as economic, political, or regulatory developments, changes in interest rates, and/or perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of the Fund could decline in value or underperform other investments. The value of Shares may also decline as a result of market conditions. Factors such as inflation, changes in interest rates, changes in regulatory requirements, bank failures, political climate deterioration or developments, armed conflicts, natural disasters or future health crises, may negatively impact market conditions, and cause a decrease in the value of Shares. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy.

As a result, an investment in the Fund may be less tax<span class="nobreak">-efficient</span> than an investment in an ETF that effectuates its Creation Units only on an in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> basis. ETFs are able to make in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> redemptions to avoid being taxed on gains on the distributed portfolio securities at the fund level. A fund that effects redemptions for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds and may be forced to recognize gains. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effectuated in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with special tax rules that apply to it. This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise be subject to, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes.

The market price of Shares generally corresponds to movements in the Fund’s NAV as well as the relative supply and demand for Shares on the Exchange. The market price may be at, above (a premium) or below (a discount) the Fund’s NAV. Differences in market prices of Shares and the NAV per Share may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. These differences can be especially pronounced during times of market volatility or stress. During these periods, the demand for Shares may decrease considerably and cause the market price of Shares to deviate, and in some cases deviate significantly, from the Fund’s NAV and the bid/ask spread on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Trading Issues Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Although Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained. Trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules.

In order to be treated as a RIC, the Fund must meet certain income, diversification and distribution tests. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. The federal income tax treatment of certain aspects of the proposed operations of the Fund is not entirely clear, which could impact the Fund’s ability to qualify as a RIC. This includes the tax aspects of the Fund’s options strategy, its hedging strategy, the possible application of the “straddle” rules, and various loss limitation provisions of the Code. The Fund’s investments in offsetting positions with respect to the Underlying ETF may affect the character of gains or losses realized by the Fund under the Code’s “straddle” rules and may increase any short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> capital gains realized by the Fund. The Fund intends to treat any income it may derive from the FLEX Options as “qualifying income” under the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs. If the income is not qualifying income or the referenced asset is not appropriately treated as the issuer of the FLEX Options, the Fund could lose its own status as a RIC. To maintain its status as a RIC, the Fund must distribute, on an annual basis, at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for each taxable year. In addition, to avoid a non<span class="nobreak">-deductible</span> excise tax, the Fund must distribute on a calendar year basis 98% of its ordinary taxable income and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each taxable year (plus 100% of any undistributed amounts for prior years). Separately, depending upon the circumstances, sales of its portfolio investments (including FLEX Options) to fund redemptions could cause the Fund to recognize income that the Fund is required to distribute to maintain the Fund’s RIC status and avoid the excise tax. Funding such distributions could require additional sales, which could require more distributions and affect the projected performance of the Fund. Alternatively, if the Fund only makes distributions to maintain its RIC status and becomes </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">subject to the excise tax, that could also affect the projected performance of the Fund. In either case, the assets sold to fund redemptions, distributions or pay the excise tax will not be available to assist the Fund in meeting its target outcome. With respect to the RIC diversification test, identifying the issuer can depend on the terms and conditions of a given investment. There is no published Internal Revenue Service guidance or only limited case law on how to determine the “issuer” of certain derivatives that the Fund will enter into. Based upon language in the legislative history, the Fund intends to treat the issuer of the FLEX Options as the referenced asset, which, assuming the referenced asset qualifies as a RIC, would allow the Fund to qualify for special rules in the RIC diversification requirements. The FLEX Options included in the portfolio are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options. Under Section 1256 of the Code, certain types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options are treated as if they were sold (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, “marked to market”) at the end of each year. The Fund does not believe that the positions held by the Fund will be subject to Section 1256, which means that the positions will not be marked to market. There is a risk that because the offsetting FLEX Options are being held by a single person that the IRS may take the position that the FLEX Options, viewed together, should be treated as a single instrument for federal tax purposes. The result of such a position would be that the Fund would fail the RIC diversification tests causing the RIC to be taxed as an ordinary corporation, unless certain cure rights based upon reasonable cause may apply. The Fund has obtained an opinion of tax counsel that the FLEX Options should not be collapsed into a single instrument. However, such an opinion is not binding upon the IRS or the courts. In the event that a shareholder purchases Shares of the Fund before a distribution by the Fund, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Valuation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the valuation of the Fund’s FLEX Options will become more difficult. In market environments where there is reduced availability of reliable objective pricing data, the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser in determining the fair value of the security may play a greater role. While such determinations may be made in good faith, it may nevertheless be more difficult for the Fund to accurately assign a daily value.</p> Performance <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The bar chart and table below illustrate the annual calendar year returns of the Fund based on NAV as well as the average annual Fund returns.

It is important that an investor understand these characteristics before making an investment in the Fund. The Fund has adopted a policy pursuant to Rule 35d<span class="nobreak">-1</span> under the 1940 Act to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that provide exposure to the State Street<span class="Bold-Superscript" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">®</span> SPDR<span class="Bold-Superscript" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">®</span> S&amp;P 500<span class="Bold-Superscript" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">®</span> ETF Trust.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund’s strategy has been specifically designed to produce the “Outcomes” described below based upon the performance of the Underlying ETF over the duration of the Outcome Period.

To the extent the Underlying ETF decreases in value over the duration of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide shareholders that hold Shares for the entire Outcome Period with a decrease in value that is approximately equal to the share price decrease experienced by the Underlying ETF.

The Cap is set on the first day of the Outcome Period and is 15.15% prior to taking into account any fees or expenses charged to shareholders.

The Fund’s sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes are designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, and are based upon the Fund’s NAV at the outset of the Outcome Period. Each FLEX Option’s value is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF during that time. Because the terms of the FLEX Options don’t change, the Accelerated Return and Cap each relate to the Fund’s NAV on the first day of the Outcome Period. Further, since the Fund’s option contracts are exercisable at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes are only provided at the end of the Outcome Period. Therefore, to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund for the Outcome Period, an investor must hold Shares from the commencement of the Outcome Period through its conclusion.<span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to provide the Outcomes.</span></p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund’s NAV is based upon the value of its portfolio which consists of FLEX Options, and may also include shares of the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof). Although the value of the Underlying ETF’s share price is a significant component of the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options, the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options (and therefore, the Fund’s NAV) will not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a daily basis. The time remaining until those FLEX Options expire, which is at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, also affects their value. The degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF may be higher than if the FLEX Options utilized by the Fund had a shorter term. The Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> generally anticipates that the Fund’s NAV will increase on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price increases and will decrease on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price decreases, but that the rate of such increase or decrease may be less than that experienced by the Underlying ETF.

When the Fund’s annual Fund management fee of 0.79% of the Fund’s average daily net assets is taken into account, the Cap is 14.36%. The Cap will be further reduced by any shareholder transaction fees, any acquired fund fees and expenses, and any extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund.

In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price. FLEX Options are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> option contracts with uniquely customizable terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund seeks to achieve the Outcomes, including the Accelerated Return and Cap, by purchasing and selling call FLEX Options to create layers within the Fund’s portfolio. The customizable nature of FLEX Options allows the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> to select the share price of the Underlying ETF at which the option contract may be exercised. This is commonly known as the “strike price.” At the commencement of the Outcome Period, the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> specifically selects the strike price for each FLEX Option such that when the FLEX Options are exercised on the final day of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes may be obtained, depending on the performance of the Underlying ETF’s share price over the duration of the Outcome Period. Each of the FLEX Options purchased and sold throughout the Outcome Period are expected to have the same or similar terms (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e., </span>strike price and expiration) as the corresponding FLEX Options purchased and sold on the first day of the Outcome Period. The Fund utilizes European style option contracts, which are exercisable only on the expiration date of the option contract.</p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">For a given Outcome Period, the Fund may invest exclusively in FLEX Options or may purchase the Underlying ETF directly (and/or the components thereof) and FLEX Options to produce the Outcomes. To the extent the Fund invests solely in FLEX Options that reference the Underlying ETF, the Cap will be provided on a price return basis (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the Outcomes will be provided based on changes in the share price of the Underlying ETF), and the Fund will not receive the benefit of any dividends. For Outcome Periods in which the Fund directly purchases the Underlying ETF, in addition to FLEX Options, to construct the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund will receive dividends from the Underlying ETF, and the Cap will be provided inclusive of dividends received (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the price returns of the Underlying ETF plus dividends received). If the Fund invests in the Underlying ETF directly (or the components thereof), to calculate the Cap the Adviser will assume an estimated dividend rate for the Underlying ETF (which is based on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF). <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">To the extent the dividends received by the Fund differ from this assumed rate, the Cap may be higher or lower than disclosed herein. </span>If the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, it will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses.

Additionally, if an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into and the Fund has risen in value to a level near the Cap, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares, including any available Accelerated Return. The Fund does not seek to provide investment outcomes on a daily or other short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, which is an attribute of other types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> funds that provide a daily, multiple exposure to a reference index (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, a “daily leveraged ETF”).

As a result, it is very unlikely that, on any given day during which the Underlying ETF increases in value, the Fund will increase in value at the same rate as the Accelerated Return, which is designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period. Likewise, there are situations during the Outcome Period in which the Fund may decrease in value at a higher rate than an associated decrease in the Underlying ETF. If the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has already experienced an Accelerated Return, an investor purchasing Shares at that price is subject to, and may experience losses at a higher rate than, any losses of the Underlying ETF for the remainder of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cap Change Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>A new Cap is established at the beginning of each Outcome Period and is dependent on prevailing market conditions at the time the Cap is established.

In the event that the Underlying ETF experiences gains in excess of the Cap for the Outcome Period, the Fund will not participate in, and will underperform the Underlying ETF to the extent of, those gains beyond the Cap. The Fund’s strategy seeks to deliver returns that are three times those of the Underlying ETF (subject to the Cap), if Shares are held at the time at which the Fund enters into the FLEX Options and held until those FLEX Options expire at the end of the Outcome Period. In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares. Further, because the FLEX Options are designed to produce the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> returns on the last day of the Outcome Period, if an investor sells Shares prior to the expiration date of the FLEX Options such investor may sell at a point where the </p><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">Fund’s performance does not match or exceed the performance of the Underlying ETF over the Outcome Period, and therefore may sell at a point where the Fund has underperformed the Underlying ETF, even if such gains do not exceed the Cap. The Fund seeks to actively manage its portfolio such that any transaction fees incurred by the Fund in connection with the management of the Fund’s assets will not impact the Fund’s performance in seeking to provide accelerated exposure to the Underlying ETF or the Fund’s ability to experience returns that match the Cap, to the extent the returns of the Underlying ETF are equal to or greater than the Cap. However, it is not guaranteed that the Fund will be able to successfully manage its assets to contemplate the transaction fees incurred by the Fund to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund. To the extent the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, the Cap will be provided after the consideration of dividends received, whereby the Fund has assumed an anticipated dividend rate, which is on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF. This assumed dividend rate may be less than dividends actually received by the Fund for the Outcome Period, in which case the Cap will be less than disclosed herein.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Investment Objective Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Certain circumstances under which the Fund might not achieve its objective include, but are not limited, to (i) if the Fund disposes of FLEX Options, (ii) if the Fund is unable to maintain the proportional relationship based on the number of FLEX Options in the Fund’s portfolio, (iii) a significant accrual of Fund expenses in connection with effecting the Fund’s principal investment strategy or (iv) adverse tax law changes or interpretations affecting the treatment of FLEX Options.

The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include: (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: (i) changing supply and demand relationships; (ii) government programs and policies; (iii) national and international political and economic events; (iv) changes in interest rates; (v) inflation and deflation; and (vi) changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms, which can magnify potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on share price. The Fund has taken the necessary steps to comply with the requirements of Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span> under the 1940 Act (“<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Rule 18f</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">-4</span></span>”) in its usage of FLEX Options. The Fund has adopted and implements a derivatives risk management program that contains policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Fund’s derivatives risks, has appointed a derivatives risk manager who is responsible for administrating the derivatives risk management program, complies with outer limitations on risks relating to its derivatives transactions and carries out enhanced reporting to the Board, the SEC and the public regarding its derivatives activities. To the extent the Fund is noncompliant with Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span>, the Fund may be required to adjust its investment portfolio which may, in turn, negatively impact the Fund’s ability to deliver the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes. In addition to the foregoing, the Fund is subject to the following risks associated with its use of derivative instruments:</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Clearing Member Default Risk.    </span>Transactions in some types of derivatives, including FLEX Options, are required to be centrally cleared (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“cleared derivatives”</span>). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house, such as the OCC, rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“clearing members”</span>) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. In cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to, and receive payments from, a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any option contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member’s individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with any clearing member as margin for its FLEX Options may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund’s clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance of their clients’ obligations to the clearing house, there is a risk that the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member’s bankruptcy. The Fund is also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on the Fund’s behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member’s default. If </p><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">a clearing member defaults the Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction entered into by the Fund with the clearing member. The loss of a clearing member for the Fund to transact with could result in increased transaction costs and other operational issues that could impede the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategy. If the Fund cannot find a clearing member to transact with on the Fund’s behalf, the Fund may be unable to effectively implement its investment strategy.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Correlation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on their expiration date. As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically will increasingly move with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, the value of the FLEX Options may vary prior to the expiration date because of related factors other than the value of the Underlying ETF. The value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options include interest rate changes and implied volatility levels of the Underlying ETF, among others. The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund typically do not increase or decrease at the same level as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis due to these factors (although they generally move in the same direction). Since the FLEX Options held by the Fund do not expire until one year after the commencement of the Outcome Period, it is possible that the degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF will be higher versus FLEX Options with shorter terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Counterparty Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Counterparty risk is the risk an issuer, guarantor or counterparty of a security in the Fund is unable or unwilling to meet its obligation on the security. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition, market activities, or for other reasons. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited and/or delayed recovery. The OCC acts as guarantor and central counterparty with respect to the FLEX Options. As a result, the ability of the Fund to meet its objective depends on the OCC being able to meet its obligations. In the event an OCC clearing member that is a counterparty of the Fund were to become insolvent, the Fund may have some or all of its FLEX Options closed without its consent or may experience delays or other difficulties in attempting to close or exercise its affected FLEX Options positions, both of which would impair the Fund’s ability to deliver on its investment strategy. The OCC’s rules and procedures are designed to facilitate the prompt settlement of options transactions and exercises, including for clearing member insolvencies. However, there is the risk that the OCC and its backup system will fail if clearing member insolvencies are substantial or widespread. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">FLEX Options Risk.    </span>The Fund will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC. The use of option contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions.

In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities, such as standardized options. In less liquid markets for the FLEX Options, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. In connection with the creation and redemption of Shares, to the extent market participants are not willing or able to enter into FLEX Option transactions with the Fund at prices that reflect the market price of the Shares, the Fund’s NAV and, in turn the share price of the Fund, could be negatively impacted.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless.

In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, terminating the FLEX Options may require the payment of a premium or acceptance of a discounted price and may take longer to complete. Additionally, the liquidation of a large number of FLEX Options may more significantly impact the price in a less liquid market. Further, the Fund requires a sufficient number of participants to facilitate the purchase and sale of options on an exchange to provide liquidity to the Fund for its FLEX Option positions.

Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Information technology companies are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Large Capitalization Companies Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate and be less able to adapt to changing market conditions than smaller capitalization companies.

A significant exposure makes the Fund more susceptible to any single occurrence and may subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that is more broadly diversified.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Cyber Security Risk.    </span>As the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the investment industry has become more susceptible to potential operational risks through breaches in cyber security.

Assets may decline in value due to factors affecting financial markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of FLEX Options or other assets may also decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or due to factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates will not have the same impact on all types of securities. Securities, including the Shares, are subject to market fluctuations and liquidity constraints that may be caused by such factors as economic, political, or regulatory developments, changes in interest rates, and/or perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of the Fund could decline in value or underperform other investments. The value of Shares may also decline as a result of market conditions. Factors such as inflation, changes in interest rates, changes in regulatory requirements, bank failures, political climate deterioration or developments, armed conflicts, natural disasters or future health crises, may negatively impact market conditions, and cause a decrease in the value of Shares. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy.

As a result, an investment in the Fund may be less tax<span class="nobreak">-efficient</span> than an investment in an ETF that effectuates its Creation Units only on an in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> basis. ETFs are able to make in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> redemptions to avoid being taxed on gains on the distributed portfolio securities at the fund level. A fund that effects redemptions for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds and may be forced to recognize gains. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effectuated in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with special tax rules that apply to it. This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise be subject to, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span>, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees.

In addition, decisions by market makers or authorized participants to reduce their role or step away from these activities in times of market stress could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying values of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the Fund’s market price.

The market price of Shares generally corresponds to movements in the Fund’s NAV as well as the relative supply and demand for Shares on the Exchange. The market price may be at, above (a premium) or below (a discount) the Fund’s NAV. Differences in market prices of Shares and the NAV per Share may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. These differences can be especially pronounced during times of market volatility or stress. During these periods, the demand for Shares may decrease considerably and cause the market price of Shares to deviate, and in some cases deviate significantly, from the Fund’s NAV and the bid/ask spread on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Trading Issues Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Although Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained.

In order to be treated as a RIC, the Fund must meet certain income, diversification and distribution tests. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. The federal income tax treatment of certain aspects of the proposed operations of the Fund is not entirely clear, which could impact the Fund’s ability to qualify as a RIC. This includes the tax aspects of the Fund’s options strategy, its hedging strategy, the possible application of the “straddle” rules, and various loss limitation provisions of the Code. The Fund’s investments in offsetting positions with respect to the Underlying ETF may affect the character of gains or losses realized by the Fund under the Code’s “straddle” rules and may increase any short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> capital gains realized by the Fund. The Fund intends to treat any income it may derive from the FLEX Options as “qualifying income” under the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs. If the income is not qualifying income or the referenced asset is not appropriately treated as the issuer of the FLEX Options, the Fund could lose its own status as a RIC. To maintain its status as a RIC, the Fund must distribute, on an annual basis, at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for each taxable year. In addition, to avoid a non<span class="nobreak">-deductible</span> excise tax, the Fund must distribute on a calendar year basis 98% of its ordinary taxable income and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each taxable year (plus 100% of any undistributed amounts for prior years). Separately, depending upon the circumstances, sales of its portfolio investments (including FLEX Options) to fund redemptions could cause the Fund to recognize income that the Fund is required to distribute to maintain the Fund’s RIC status and avoid the excise tax. Funding such distributions could require additional sales, which could require more distributions and affect the projected performance of the Fund. Alternatively, if the Fund only makes distributions to maintain its RIC </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">status and becomes subject to the excise tax, that could also affect the projected performance of the Fund. In either case, the assets sold to fund redemptions, distributions or pay the excise tax will not be available to assist the Fund in meeting its target outcome. With respect to the RIC diversification test, identifying the issuer can depend on the terms and conditions of a given investment. There is no published Internal Revenue Service guidance or only limited case law on how to determine the “issuer” of certain derivatives that the Fund will enter into. Based upon language in the legislative history, the Fund intends to treat the issuer of the FLEX Options as the referenced asset, which, assuming the referenced asset qualifies as a RIC, would allow the Fund to qualify for special rules in the RIC diversification requirements. The FLEX Options included in the portfolio are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options. Under Section 1256 of the Code, certain types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options are treated as if they were sold (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, “marked to market”) at the end of each year. The Fund does not believe that the positions held by the Fund will be subject to Section 1256, which means that the positions will not be marked to market. There is a risk that because the offsetting FLEX Options are being held by a single person that the IRS may take the position that the FLEX Options, viewed together, should be treated as a single instrument for federal tax purposes. The result of such a position would be that the Fund would fail the RIC diversification tests causing the RIC to be taxed as an ordinary corporation, unless certain cure rights based upon reasonable cause may apply. The Fund has obtained an opinion of tax counsel that the FLEX Options should not be collapsed into a single instrument. However, such an opinion is not binding upon the IRS or the courts. In the event that a shareholder purchases Shares of the Fund before a distribution by the Fund, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Valuation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the valuation of the Fund’s FLEX Options will become more difficult.

The Fund’s sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes are designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, and are based upon the Fund’s NAV at the outset of the Outcome Period. Each FLEX Option’s value is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF during that time. Because the terms of the FLEX Options don’t change, the Accelerated Return and Cap each relate to the Fund’s NAV on the first day of the Outcome Period. Further, since the Fund’s option contracts are exercisable at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes are only provided at the end of the Outcome Period. Therefore, to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund for the Outcome Period, an investor must hold Shares from the commencement of the Outcome Period through its conclusion.<span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to provide the Outcomes.</span></p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund’s NAV is based upon the value of its portfolio. Although the value of the Underlying ETF’s share price is a significant component of the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options, the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options (and therefore, the Fund’s NAV) will not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a daily basis. The time remaining until those FLEX Options expire, which is at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, also affects their value. The degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF may be higher than if the FLEX Options utilized by the Fund had a shorter term. The Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> generally anticipates that the Fund’s NAV will increase on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price increases and will decrease on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price decreases, but that the rate of such increase or decrease may be less than that experienced by the Underlying ETF. Further, it is unlikely that the Fund’s value will increase at a rate that is the same rate as the Accelerated Return (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, an increase in value that is three times the increase in value experienced by the Underlying ETF) during the Outcome Period.

If the Underlying ETF increases in value over the duration of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide returns that are three times the increase experienced by the Underlying ETF, subject to the Cap. <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">The Cap represents the maximum percentage return an investor can achieve from an investment in the Fund over the duration of the Outcome Period. Therefore, even though the Fund’s returns (and any potential Accelerated Return) are based upon the performance of the Underlying ETF, if the Underlying ETF experiences returns for the Outcome Period in excess of the Cap, the Fund will not participate in such excess returns.</span> The Cap is determined on the first day of the Outcome Period and is 18.84% prior to taking into account any fees or expenses charged to shareholders. When the Fund’s annual Fund management fee of 0.79% of the Fund’s average daily net assets is taken into account, the Cap is 18.05%. The Cap will be further reduced by any shareholder transaction fees, any acquired fund fees and expenses, and any extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund. The Cap will change from one Outcome Period to the next based upon prevailing market conditions at the beginning of the Outcome Period. The Cap is also set forth on the Fund’s website at <span class="CharOverride-8" style="text-decoration:underline;">www.innovatoretfs.com/qtoc.</span></p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="BoldItalic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">The Fund’s Portfolio.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund invests in FLEX Options that reference the Underlying ETF. In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price. FLEX Options are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> option contracts with uniquely customizable terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund seeks to achieve the Outcomes, including the Accelerated Return and Cap, by purchasing and selling call FLEX Options to create layers within the Fund’s portfolio. The customizable nature of FLEX Options allows the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> to select the share price of the Underlying ETF at which the option contract may be exercised. This is commonly known as the “strike price.” At the commencement of the Outcome Period, the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> specifically selects the strike price for each FLEX Option such that when the FLEX Options are exercised on the final day of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes may be obtained, depending on the performance of the Underlying ETF’s share price over the duration of the Outcome Period. Each of the FLEX Options purchased and sold throughout the Outcome Period are expected to have the same or similar terms (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e., </span>strike price and expiration) as the corresponding FLEX Options purchased and sold on the first day of the Outcome Period. The Fund utilizes European style option contracts, which are exercisable only on the expiration date of the option contract.</p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">For a given Outcome Period, the Fund may invest exclusively in FLEX Options or may purchase the Underlying ETF directly (and/or the components thereof) and FLEX Options to produce the Outcomes. To the extent the Fund invests solely in FLEX Options that reference the Underlying ETF, the Cap will be provided on a price return basis (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the Outcomes will be provided based on changes in the share price of the Underlying ETF), and the Fund will not receive the benefit of any dividends. For Outcome Periods in which the Fund directly purchases the Underlying ETF, in addition to FLEX Options, to construct the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund will receive dividends from the Underlying ETF, and the Cap will be provided inclusive of dividends received (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the price returns of the Underlying ETF plus dividends received). If the Fund invests in the Underlying ETF directly (or the components thereof), to calculate the Cap the Adviser will assume an estimated dividend rate for the Underlying ETF (which is based on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF). <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">To the extent the dividends received by the Fund differ from this assumed rate, the Cap may be higher or lower than disclosed herein. </span>If the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, it will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses.

Important information relating to the Fund, including information relating to the Cap, is communicated on the Fund’s website.</p> The Fund has adopted a policy pursuant to Rule 35d<span class="nobreak">-1</span> under the 1940 Act to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that provide exposure to the Invesco QQQ Trust<span class="Superscript" style="vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">SM</span>, Series 1. The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). To the extent the Underlying ETF concentrates (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. You could lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Defined Outcome Strategy Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund, in employing a “defined outcome strategy” is subject to certain unique risks, which are detailed below.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Accelerated Return Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During Outcome Periods in which the Underlying ETF increases in value, there can be no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its strategy to provide the Accelerated Return. In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into or does not stay invested in the Fund for the entirety of the Outcome Period, any Accelerated Return realized by the investor may not match those that the Fund seeks to achieve. Additionally, if an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into and the Fund has risen in value to a level near the Cap, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares, including any available Accelerated Return. The Fund does not seek to provide investment outcomes on a daily or other short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, which is an attribute of other types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> funds that provide a daily, multiple exposure to a reference index (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, a “daily leveraged ETF”). In contrast, the Fund seeks to provide the Outcomes for the entire Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF for the entire Outcome Period. As a result, it is very unlikely that, on any given day during which the Underlying ETF increases in value, the Fund will increase in value at the same rate as the Accelerated Return, which is designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period. Likewise, there are situations during the Outcome Period in which the Fund may decrease in value at a higher rate than an associated decrease in the Underlying ETF. If the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has already experienced an Accelerated Return, an investor purchasing Shares at that price is subject to, and may experience losses at a higher rate than, any losses of the Underlying ETF for the remainder of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cap Change Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>A new Cap is established at the beginning of each Outcome Period and is dependent on prevailing market conditions at the time the Cap is established.

Further, because the FLEX Options are designed to produce the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> returns on the last day of the Outcome Period, if an investor sells Shares prior to the expiration date of the FLEX Options such investor may sell at a point where the Fund’s performance does not match or exceed the performance of the Underlying ETF over the Outcome Period, and therefore may sell at a point where the Fund has underperformed the Underlying ETF, even if such gains do not exceed the Cap. The Fund seeks to actively manage its portfolio such that any transaction fees incurred by the Fund in connection with the management of the Fund’s assets will not impact the Fund’s performance in seeking to provide accelerated exposure to the Underlying ETF or the Fund’s ability to experience returns that match the Cap, to the extent the returns of the Underlying ETF are equal to or greater than the Cap. However, it is not guaranteed that the Fund will be able to successfully manage its assets to contemplate the transaction fees incurred by the Fund to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund. To the extent the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, the Cap will be provided after the consideration of dividends received, whereby the Fund has assumed an anticipated dividend rate, which is on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF.

The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include: (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: (i) changing supply and demand relationships; (ii) government programs and policies; (iii) national and international political and economic events; (iv) changes in interest rates; (v) inflation and deflation; and (vi) changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms, which can magnify potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on share price. The Fund has taken the necessary steps to comply with the requirements of Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span> under the 1940 Act (“<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Rule 18f</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">-4</span></span>”) in its usage of FLEX Options. The Fund has adopted and implements a derivatives risk management program that contains policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Fund’s derivatives risks, has appointed a derivatives risk manager who is responsible for administrating the derivatives risk management program, complies with outer limitations on risks relating to its derivatives transactions and carries out enhanced reporting to the Board, the SEC and the public regarding its derivatives activities. To the extent the Fund is noncompliant with Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span>, the Fund may be required to adjust its investment portfolio which may, in turn, negatively impact the Fund’s ability to deliver the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes. In addition to the foregoing, the Fund is subject to the following risks associated with its use of derivative instruments:</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Clearing Member Default Risk.    </span>Transactions in some types of derivatives, including FLEX Options, are required to be centrally cleared (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“cleared derivatives”</span>). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house, such as the OCC, rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“clearing members”</span>) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. In cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to, and receive payments from, a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any option contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member’s individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with any clearing member as margin for its FLEX Options may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund’s clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance of their clients’ obligations to the clearing house, there is a risk that the assets of the Fund </p><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member’s bankruptcy. The Fund is also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on the Fund’s behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member’s default. If a clearing member defaults the Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction entered into by the Fund with the clearing member. The loss of a clearing member for the Fund to transact with could result in increased transaction costs and other operational issues that could impede the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategy. If the Fund cannot find a clearing member to transact with on the Fund’s behalf, the Fund may be unable to effectively implement its investment strategy.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Correlation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on their expiration date. As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically will increasingly move with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, the value of the FLEX Options may vary prior to the expiration date because of related factors other than the value of the Underlying ETF. The value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options include interest rate changes and implied volatility levels of the Underlying ETF, among others. The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund typically do not increase or decrease at the same level as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis due to these factors (although they generally move in the same direction). Since the FLEX Options held by the Fund do not expire until one year after the commencement of the Outcome Period, it is possible that the degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF will be higher versus FLEX Options with shorter terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Counterparty Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Counterparty risk is the risk an issuer, guarantor or counterparty of a security in the Fund is unable or unwilling to meet its obligation on the security. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition, market activities, or for other reasons. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited and/or delayed recovery. The OCC acts as guarantor and central counterparty with respect to the FLEX Options. As a result, the ability of the Fund to meet its objective depends on the OCC being able to meet its obligations. In the event an OCC clearing member that is a counterparty of the Fund were to become insolvent, the Fund may have some or all of its FLEX Options closed without its consent or may experience delays or other difficulties in attempting to close or exercise its affected FLEX Options positions, both of which would impair the Fund’s ability to deliver on its investment strategy. The OCC’s rules and procedures are designed to facilitate the prompt settlement of options transactions and exercises, including for clearing member insolvencies. However, there is the risk that the OCC and its backup system will fail if clearing member insolvencies are substantial or widespread. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">FLEX Options Risk.    </span>The Fund will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC.

In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities, such as standardized options. In less liquid markets for the FLEX Options, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. In connection with the creation and redemption of Shares, to the extent market participants are not willing or able to enter into FLEX Option transactions with the Fund at prices that reflect the market price of the Shares, the Fund’s NAV and, in turn the share price of the Fund, could be negatively impacted.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless.

Additionally, the liquidation of a large number of FLEX Options may more significantly impact the price in a less liquid market.

The Underlying ETF is subject to many of the same structural risks as the Fund that are described in more detail herein (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">see </span>“Risks Associated with ETFs” below). The Adviser expects to waive a portion of its management fee in an amount that equals to any acquired fund fees and expenses the Fund incurs as a result of any direct investment in the Underlying ETF. However, if the Adviser does not waive such expenses in the future, the Fund will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses, subjecting Fund shareholders to such expenses. Further, the risks of investing in an ETF also include the risks associated with the underlying investments held by the ETF. As such, the Fund may be subject to the following risks as a result of its exposure to the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof):</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Equity Securities Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Equity securities may decline in value because of declines in the price of a particular holding or the broad stock market.

Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Information technology companies are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Large Capitalization Companies Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate and be less able to adapt to changing market conditions than smaller capitalization companies. Thus, the return on investment in securities of large capitalization companies may be less than the return on investment in securities of small and/or mid capitalization companies.

To the extent the Fund has significant exposure in a single asset class or the securities of issuers within the same country, state, region, industry or sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Fund’s investments more than if the Fund were more broadly diversified. A significant exposure makes the Fund more susceptible to any single occurrence and may subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that is more broadly diversified.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Cyber Security Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>As the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the investment industry has become more susceptible to potential operational risks through breaches in cyber security. A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity. Such events could cause the Fund to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures and/or financial loss. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems through “hacking” or malicious software coding, but may also result from outside attacks such as denial<span class="nobreak">-of-service</span> attacks through efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users. In addition, cyber security breaches of the Fund’s third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers, such as its administrator, transfer agent, or custodian can also subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches. The Fund has established risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security. However, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because the Fund does not directly control the cyber security systems of issuers or third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Market Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund could lose money over short periods due to short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. Assets may decline in value due to factors affecting financial markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of FLEX Options or other assets may also decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or due to factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates will not have the same impact on all types of securities. Securities, including the Shares, are subject to market fluctuations and liquidity constraints that may be caused by such factors as economic, political, or regulatory developments, changes in interest rates, and/or perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of the Fund could decline in value or underperform other investments. The value of Shares may also decline as a result of market conditions. Factors such as inflation, changes in interest rates, changes in regulatory requirements, bank failures, political climate deterioration or developments, armed conflicts, natural disasters or future health crises, may negatively impact market conditions, and cause a decrease in the value of Shares. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy. These events, and any other future events, may adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Non</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">-Diversification</span></span><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> Risk.    </span>The Fund is classified as a “non<span class="nobreak">-diversified</span> company” under the 1940 Act.

To the extent that authorized participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with orders for the issuance or redemption of Creation Units and no other authorized participant is able to step forward to fulfill the order, Shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting, and the bid/ask spread (the difference between the price that someone is willing to pay for Shares at a specific point in time versus the price at which someone is willing to sell) on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cash Transactions Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund may effectuate all or a portion of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units for cash, rather than in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> securities. As a result, an investment in the Fund may be less tax<span class="nobreak">-efficient</span> than an investment in an ETF that effectuates its Creation Units only on an in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> basis. ETFs are able to make in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> redemptions to avoid being taxed on gains on the distributed portfolio securities at the fund level. A fund that effects redemptions for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds and may be forced to recognize gains. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effectuated in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with special tax rules that apply to it. This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise be subject to, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span>, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees.

In addition, decisions by market makers or authorized participants to reduce their role or step away from these activities in times of market stress could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying values of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the Fund’s market price.

The market price of Shares generally corresponds to movements in the Fund’s NAV as well as the relative supply and demand for Shares on the Exchange. The market price may be at, above (a premium) or below (a discount) the Fund’s NAV. Differences in market prices of Shares and the NAV per Share may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. These differences can be especially pronounced during times of market volatility or stress. During these periods, the demand for Shares may decrease considerably and cause the market price of Shares to deviate, and in some cases deviate significantly, from the Fund’s NAV and the bid/ask spread on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Trading Issues Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Although Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained. Trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. Market makers are under no obligation to make a market in the Shares, and authorized participants are not obligated to submit purchase or redemption orders for Creation Units. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="-sec-ix-redline:true;margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Tax Risk.    </span>The Fund has elected to be treated and intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“RIC”</span>) under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to be treated as a RIC, the Fund must meet certain income, diversification and distribution tests. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. The federal income tax treatment of certain aspects of the proposed operations of the Fund is not entirely clear, which could impact the Fund’s ability to qualify as a RIC. This includes the tax aspects of the Fund’s options strategy, its hedging strategy, the possible application of the “straddle” rules, and various loss limitation provisions of the Code. The Fund’s investments in offsetting positions with respect to the Underlying ETF may affect the character of gains or losses realized by the Fund under the Code’s “straddle” rules and may increase any short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> capital gains realized by the Fund. The Fund intends to treat any income it may derive from the FLEX Options as “qualifying income” under the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs. If the income is not qualifying income or the referenced asset is not appropriately treated as the issuer of the FLEX Options, the Fund could lose its own status as a RIC. To maintain its status as a RIC, the Fund </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">must distribute, on an annual basis, at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for each taxable year. In addition, to avoid a non<span class="nobreak">-deductible</span> excise tax, the Fund must distribute on a calendar year basis 98% of its ordinary taxable income and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each taxable year (plus 100% of any undistributed amounts for prior years). Separately, depending upon the circumstances, sales of its portfolio investments (including FLEX Options) to fund redemptions could cause the Fund to recognize income that the Fund is required to distribute to maintain the Fund’s RIC status and avoid the excise tax. Funding such distributions could require additional sales, which could require more distributions and affect the projected performance of the Fund. Alternatively, if the Fund only makes distributions to maintain its RIC status and becomes subject to the excise tax, that could also affect the projected performance of the Fund. In either case, the assets sold to fund redemptions, distributions or pay the excise tax will not be available to assist the Fund in meeting its target outcome. With respect to the RIC diversification test, identifying the issuer can depend on the terms and conditions of a given investment. There is no published Internal Revenue Service guidance or only limited case law on how to determine the “issuer” of certain derivatives that the Fund will enter into. Based upon language in the legislative history, the Fund intends to treat the issuer of the FLEX Options as the referenced asset, which, assuming the referenced asset qualifies as a RIC, would allow the Fund to qualify for special rules in the RIC diversification requirements. The FLEX Options included in the portfolio are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options. Under Section 1256 of the Code, certain types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options are treated as if they were sold (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, “marked to market”) at the end of each year. The Fund does not believe that the positions held by the Fund will be subject to Section 1256, which means that the positions will not be marked to market. There is a risk that because the offsetting FLEX Options are being held by a single person that the IRS may take the position that the FLEX Options, viewed together, should be treated as a single instrument for federal tax purposes. The result of such a position would be that the Fund would fail the RIC diversification tests causing the RIC to be taxed as an ordinary corporation, unless certain cure rights based upon reasonable cause may apply. The Fund has obtained an opinion of tax counsel that the FLEX Options should not be collapsed into a single instrument. However, such an opinion is not binding upon the IRS or the courts. In the event that a shareholder purchases Shares of the Fund before a distribution by the Fund, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Valuation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the valuation of the Fund’s FLEX Options will become more difficult. In market environments where there is reduced availability of reliable objective pricing data, the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser in determining the fair value of the security may play a greater role. While such determinations may be made in good faith, it may nevertheless be more difficult for the Fund to accurately assign a daily value.</p> Performance <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The bar chart and table below illustrate the annual calendar year returns of the Fund based on NAV as well as the average annual Fund returns.

It is important that an investor understand these characteristics before making an investment in the Fund. The Fund has adopted a policy pursuant to Rule 35d<span class="nobreak">-1</span> under the 1940 Act to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that provide exposure to the State Street<span class="Bold-Superscript" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">®</span> SPDR<span class="Bold-Superscript" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">®</span> S&amp;P 500<span class="Bold-Superscript" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">®</span> ETF Trust.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund’s strategy has been specifically designed to produce the “Outcomes” described below based upon the performance of the Underlying ETF over the duration of the Outcome Period.

The current Outcome Period is from October<span class="nobreak"> </span>1, 2025 through September<span class="nobreak"> </span>30, 2026. The Fund’s sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes are designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, and are based upon the Fund’s NAV at the outset of the Outcome Period. Each FLEX Option’s value is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF during that time. Because the terms of the FLEX Options don’t change, the Accelerated Return, Buffer and Cap each relate to the Fund’s NAV on the first day of the Outcome Period. Further, since the Fund’s option contracts are exercisable at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes are only provided at the end of the Outcome Period. Therefore, to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund for the Outcome Period, an investor must hold Shares from the commencement of the Outcome Period through its conclusion.<span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to provide the Outcomes.</span></p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund’s NAV is based upon the value of its portfolio which consists of FLEX Options, and may also include shares of the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof). Although the value of the Underlying ETF’s share price is a significant component of the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options, the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options (and therefore, the Fund’s NAV) will not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a daily basis. The time remaining until those FLEX Options expire, which is at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, also affects their value. The degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF may be higher than if the FLEX Options utilized by the Fund had a shorter term. The Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> generally anticipates that the Fund’s NAV will increase on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price increases and will decrease on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price decreases, but that the rate of such increase or decrease may be less than that experienced by the Underlying ETF.

If the Underlying ETF increases in value over the duration of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide returns that are twice the increase experienced by the Underlying ETF, subject to the Cap. <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">The Cap represents the maximum percentage return an investor can achieve from an investment in the Fund over the duration of the Outcome Period.

When the Fund’s annual Fund management fee of 0.79% of the Fund’s average daily net assets is taken into account, the Cap is 10.91%. The Cap will be further reduced by any shareholder transaction fees, any acquired fund fees and expenses, and any extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund. The Cap will change from one Outcome Period to the next based upon prevailing market conditions at the beginning of the Outcome Period.

The effect sought to be created by the Buffer is that if the Underlying ETF’s share price has decreased in value over the course of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to be returned the amount of its principal investment (if the Underlying ETF’s share price decreased in value by 9% or less) or experience a loss that is 9% less than the loss experienced by the Underlying ETF (if the Underlying ETF’s share price decreased in value by more than 9%). <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">If the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has experienced any Accelerated Return, an investor purchasing Shares at that price may be subject to losses that exceed any losses of the Underlying ETF for the remainder of the Outcome Period.</span> A shareholder may lose their entire investment.

In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price. FLEX Options are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> option contracts with uniquely customizable terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund seeks to achieve the Outcomes, including the Accelerated Return, Buffer and Cap, by purchasing and selling call and put FLEX Options to create layers within the Fund’s portfolio. The customizable nature of FLEX Options allows the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> to select the share price of the Underlying ETF at which the option contract may be exercised. This is commonly known as the “strike price.” At the commencement of the Outcome Period, the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> specifically selects the strike price for each FLEX Option such that when the FLEX Options are exercised on the final day of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes may be obtained, depending on the performance of the Underlying ETF’s share price over the duration of the Outcome Period. Each of the FLEX Options purchased and sold throughout the Outcome Period are expected to have the same or similar terms (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e., </span>strike price and expiration) as the corresponding FLEX Options purchased and sold on the first day of the Outcome Period.

For Outcome Periods in which the Fund directly purchases the Underlying ETF, in addition to FLEX Options, to construct the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund will receive dividends from the Underlying ETF, and the Buffer and Cap will be provided inclusive of dividends received (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the price returns of the Underlying ETF plus dividends received). If the Fund invests in the Underlying ETF directly (or the components thereof), to calculate the Buffer and Cap the Adviser will assume an estimated dividend rate for the Underlying ETF (which is based on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF). <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">To the extent the dividends received by the Fund differ from this assumed historical rate, the Buffer and Cap may be higher or lower than disclosed herein. </span>If the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, it will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses.

Following the close of business on the last day of the Outcome Period, the Fund will file a prospectus supplement that discloses the Fund’s final Cap (both gross and net of the unitary management fee) for the next Outcome Period. This information is available on the Fund’s website, <span class="nobreak"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">www.innovatoretfs.com/xboc</span></span>, which also provides information regarding, among other items, the start date and end date of the Outcome Period, the Accelerated Return, Buffer and Cap, the Underlying ETF, the Fund’s portfolio holdings for the Outcome Period, whether the Outcomes are based on the price return of the Underlying ETF or price return of the Underlying ETF plus dividends received, and information relating to the potential outcomes of an investment in the Fund on a daily basis. Important information relating to the Fund, including information relating to the Cap, is communicated on the Fund’s website.</p> The Fund has adopted a policy pursuant to Rule 35d<span class="nobreak">-1</span> under the 1940 Act to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that provide exposure to the State Street<span class="Bold-Superscript" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">®</span> SPDR<span class="Bold-Superscript" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">®</span> S&amp;P 500<span class="Bold-Superscript" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">®</span> ETF Trust. The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). To the extent the Underlying ETF concentrates (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. You could lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Defined Outcome Strategy Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund, in employing a “defined outcome strategy” is subject to certain unique risks, which are detailed below.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Accelerated Return Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During Outcome Periods in which the Underlying ETF increases in value, there can be no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its strategy to provide the Accelerated Return. In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into or does not stay invested in the Fund for the entirety of the Outcome Period, any Accelerated Return realized by the investor may not match those that the Fund seeks to achieve. Additionally, if an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into and the Fund has risen in value to a level near the Cap, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares, including any available Accelerated Return. The Fund does not seek to provide investment outcomes on a daily or other short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, which is an attribute of other types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> funds that provide a daily, multiple exposure to a reference index (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, a “daily leveraged ETF”).

As a result, it is very unlikely that, on any given day during which the Underlying ETF increases in value, the Fund will increase in value at the same rate as the Accelerated Return, which is designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period. Likewise, there are situations during the Outcome Period in which the Fund may decrease in value at a higher rate than an associated decrease in the Underlying ETF. If the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has already experienced an Accelerated Return, an investor purchasing Shares at that price is subject to, and may experience losses at a higher rate than, any losses of the Underlying ETF for the remainder of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Buffered Loss Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>There can be no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its strategy to provide buffer protection against Underlying ETF losses if the Underlying ETF’s share price decreases by 9% or less over the duration of the Outcome Period.

The Fund’s strategy seeks to provide the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> protection of the Buffer if Shares are held at the time at which the Fund enters into the FLEX Options and held until those FLEX Options expire at the end of the Outcome Period. In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into or sells Shares prior to the expiration of the FLEX Options, the Buffer that the Fund seeks to provide may not be available. The Fund does not provide principal protection or non<span class="nobreak">-principal</span> protection, and an investor may experience significant losses on its investment, including the loss of its entire investment. To the extent the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, the Buffer will be provided after the consideration of dividends received, whereby the Fund has assumed an anticipated dividend rate, which is on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF. This assumed dividend rate may be less than dividends actually received by the Fund for the Outcome Period, in which case shareholders may not receive the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> downside protection of the Buffer.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cap Change Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>A new Cap is established at the beginning of each Outcome Period and is dependent on prevailing market conditions at the time the Cap is established.

The Fund’s strategy seeks to deliver returns that are twice those of the Underlying ETF (subject to the Cap), if Shares are held at the time at which the Fund enters into the FLEX Options and held until those FLEX Options expire at the end of the Outcome Period. In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares. Further, because the FLEX Options are designed to produce the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> returns on the last day of the Outcome Period, if an investor sells Shares prior to the expiration date of the FLEX Options such investor may sell at a point where the Fund’s performance does not match or exceed the performance of the Underlying ETF over the Outcome Period, and therefore may sell at a point where the Fund has underperformed the Underlying ETF, even if such gains do not exceed the Cap.

However, it is not guaranteed that the Fund will be able to successfully manage its assets to contemplate the transaction fees incurred by the Fund to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund.

The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include: (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: (i) changing supply and demand relationships; (ii) government programs and policies; (iii) national and international political and economic events; (iv) changes in interest rates; (v) inflation and deflation; and (vi) changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms, which can magnify potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on share price. The Fund has taken the necessary steps to comply with the requirements of Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span> under the 1940 Act (“<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Rule 18f</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">-4</span></span>”) in its usage of FLEX Options. The Fund has adopted and implements a derivatives risk management program that contains policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Fund’s derivatives risks, has appointed a derivatives risk manager who is responsible for administrating the derivatives risk management program, complies with outer limitations on risks relating to its derivatives transactions and carries out enhanced reporting to the Board, the SEC and the public regarding its derivatives activities. To the extent the Fund is noncompliant with Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span>, the Fund may be required to adjust its investment portfolio which may, in turn, negatively impact the Fund’s ability to deliver the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes. In addition to the foregoing, the Fund is subject to the following risks associated with its use of derivative instruments:</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Clearing Member Default Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Transactions in some types of derivatives, including FLEX Options, are required to be centrally cleared (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“cleared derivatives”</span>). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house, such as the OCC, rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“clearing members”</span>) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. In cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to, and receive payments from, a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any option contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member’s individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with any clearing member as margin for its FLEX Options may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund’s clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance of their clients’ obligations to the clearing house, there is a risk that the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member’s bankruptcy. The Fund is also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on the Fund’s behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member’s default. If a clearing member defaults the Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction entered into by the Fund with the clearing member. The loss of a clearing member for the Fund to transact with could result in increased transaction costs and other operational issues that could impede the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategy. If the Fund cannot find a clearing member to transact with on the Fund’s behalf, the Fund may be unable to effectively implement its investment strategy.</p> </div><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Correlation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on their expiration date. As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically will increasingly move with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, the value of the FLEX Options may vary prior to the expiration date because of related factors other than the value of the Underlying ETF. The value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options include interest rate changes and implied volatility levels of the Underlying ETF, among others. The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund typically do not increase or decrease at the same level as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis due to these factors (although they generally move in the same direction). Since the FLEX Options held by the Fund do not expire until one year after the commencement of the Outcome Period, it is possible that the degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF will be higher versus FLEX Options with shorter terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Counterparty Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Counterparty risk is the risk an issuer, guarantor or counterparty of a security in the Fund is unable or unwilling to meet its obligation on the security. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition, market activities, or for other reasons. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited and/or delayed recovery. The OCC acts as guarantor and central counterparty with respect to the FLEX Options. As a result, the ability of the Fund to meet its objective depends on the OCC being able to meet its obligations. In the event an OCC clearing member that is a counterparty of the Fund were to become insolvent, the Fund may have some or all of its FLEX Options closed without its consent or may experience delays or other difficulties in attempting to close or exercise its affected FLEX Options positions, both of which would impair the Fund’s ability to deliver on its investment strategy. The OCC’s rules and procedures are designed to facilitate the prompt settlement of options transactions and exercises, including for clearing member insolvencies. However, there is the risk that the OCC and its backup system will fail if clearing member insolvencies are substantial or widespread. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">FLEX Options Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC. The use of option contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of option contracts are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, changes in interest or currency exchange rates, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events.

There is no guarantee that a liquid secondary trading market will exist for the FLEX Options. The trading in FLEX Options may be less deep and liquid than the market for certain other securities, including certain non<span class="nobreak">-customized</span> option contracts. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, terminating the FLEX Options may require the payment of a premium or acceptance of a discounted price and may take longer to complete. Additionally, the liquidation of a large number of FLEX Options may more significantly impact the price in a less liquid market. Further, the Fund requires a sufficient number of participants to facilitate the purchase and sale of options on an exchange to provide liquidity to the Fund for its FLEX Option positions. A less liquid trading market may adversely impact the value of the FLEX Options and the value of your investment.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Underlying ETF Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund’s investment performance largely depends on the investment performance and associated risks of the Underlying ETF. The Underlying ETF is subject to many of the same structural risks as the Fund that are described in more detail herein (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">see </span>“Risks Associated with ETFs” below). The Adviser expects to waive a portion of its management fee in an amount that equals to any acquired fund fees and expenses the Fund incurs as a result of any direct investment in the Underlying ETF. However, if the Adviser does not waive such expenses in the future, the Fund will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses, subjecting Fund shareholders to such expenses. Further, the risks of investing in an ETF also include the risks associated with the underlying investments held by the ETF. As such, the Fund may be subject to the following risks as a result of its exposure to the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof):</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Equity Securities Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Equity securities may decline in value because of declines in the price of a particular holding or the broad stock market.

Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Information technology companies are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Large Capitalization Companies Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate and be less able to adapt to changing market conditions than smaller capitalization companies.

To the extent the Fund has significant exposure in a single asset class or the securities of issuers within the same country, state, region, industry or sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Fund’s investments more than if the Fund were more broadly diversified. A significant exposure makes the Fund more susceptible to any single occurrence and may subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that is more broadly diversified.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Cyber Security Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>As the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the investment industry has become more susceptible to potential operational risks through breaches in cyber security. A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity. Such events could cause the Fund to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures and/or financial loss. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems through “hacking” or malicious software coding, but may also result from outside attacks such as denial<span class="nobreak">-of-service</span> attacks through efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users. In addition, cyber security breaches of the Fund’s third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers, such as its administrator, transfer agent, or custodian can also subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches. The Fund has established risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security. However, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because the Fund does not directly control the cyber security systems of issuers or third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Market Risk.    </span>The Fund could lose money over short periods due to short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns.

During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates will not have the same impact on all types of securities. Securities, including the Shares, are subject to market fluctuations and liquidity constraints that may be caused by such factors as economic, political, or regulatory developments, changes in interest rates, and/or perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of the Fund could decline in value or underperform other investments. The value of Shares may also decline as a result of market conditions. Factors such as inflation, changes in interest rates, changes in regulatory requirements, bank failures, political climate deterioration or developments, armed conflicts, natural disasters or future health crises, may negatively impact market conditions, and cause a decrease in the value of Shares. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy. These events, and any other future events, may adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Non</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">-Diversification</span></span><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> Risk.    </span>The Fund is classified as a “non<span class="nobreak">-diversified</span> company” under the 1940 Act.

This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise be subject to, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span>, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees.

Any trading halt or other problem relating to the trading activity of these market makers could result in a dramatic change in the spread between the Fund’s NAV and the price at which the Shares are trading on the Exchange, which could result in a decrease in the market price of the Shares. In addition, decisions by market makers or authorized participants to reduce their role or step away from these activities in times of market stress could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying values of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the Fund’s market price.

The market price of Shares generally corresponds to movements in the Fund’s NAV as well as the relative supply and demand for Shares on the Exchange. The market price may be at, above (a premium) or below (a discount) the Fund’s NAV. Differences in market prices of Shares and the NAV per Share may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. These differences can be especially pronounced during times of market volatility or stress. During these periods, the demand for Shares may decrease considerably and cause the market price of Shares to deviate, and in some cases deviate significantly, from the Fund’s NAV and the bid/ask spread on Shares may widen.</p> </div><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Trading Issues Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Although Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained.

In order to be treated as a RIC, the Fund must meet certain income, diversification and distribution tests. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. The federal income tax treatment of certain aspects of the proposed operations of the Fund is not entirely clear, which could impact the Fund’s ability to qualify as a RIC. This includes the tax aspects of the Fund’s options strategy, its hedging strategy, the possible application of the “straddle” rules, and various loss limitation provisions of the Code. The Fund’s investments in offsetting positions with respect to the Underlying ETF may affect the character of gains or losses realized by the Fund under the Code’s “straddle” rules and may increase any short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> capital gains realized by the Fund. The Fund intends to treat any income it may derive from the FLEX Options as “qualifying income” under the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs. If the income is not qualifying income or the referenced asset is not appropriately treated as the issuer of the FLEX Options, the Fund could lose its own status as a RIC. To maintain its status as a RIC, the Fund must distribute, on an annual basis, at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for each taxable year. In addition, to avoid a non<span class="nobreak">-deductible</span> excise tax, the Fund must distribute on a calendar year basis 98% of its ordinary taxable income and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each taxable year (plus 100% of any undistributed amounts for prior years). Separately, depending upon the circumstances, sales of its portfolio investments (including FLEX Options) to fund redemptions could cause the Fund to recognize income that the Fund is required to distribute to maintain the Fund’s RIC status and avoid the excise tax. Funding such distributions could require additional sales, which could require more distributions and affect the projected performance of the Fund. Alternatively, if the Fund only makes distributions to maintain its RIC status and becomes subject to the excise tax, that could also affect the projected performance of the Fund. In either case, the assets sold to fund redemptions, distributions or pay the excise tax will not be available to assist the Fund in meeting its target outcome. With respect to the RIC diversification test, identifying the issuer can depend on the terms and conditions of a given investment. There is no published Internal Revenue Service guidance or only limited case law on how to determine the “issuer” of certain derivatives that the Fund will enter into. Based upon language in the legislative history, the Fund intends to treat the issuer of the FLEX Options as the referenced asset, which, assuming the referenced asset qualifies as a RIC, would allow the Fund to qualify for special rules in the RIC diversification requirements. The FLEX Options included in the portfolio are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options. Under Section 1256 of the Code, certain types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options are treated as if they were sold (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, “marked to market”) at the end of each year. The Fund does not believe that the positions held by the Fund will be subject to Section 1256, which means that the positions will not be marked to market. There is a risk that because </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">the offsetting FLEX Options are being held by a single person that the IRS may take the position that the FLEX Options, viewed together, should be treated as a single instrument for federal tax purposes. The result of such a position would be that the Fund would fail the RIC diversification tests causing the RIC to be taxed as an ordinary corporation, unless certain cure rights based upon reasonable cause may apply. The Fund has obtained an opinion of tax counsel that the FLEX Options should not be collapsed into a single instrument. However, such an opinion is not binding upon the IRS or the courts. In the event that a shareholder purchases Shares of the Fund before a distribution by the Fund, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Valuation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the valuation of the Fund’s FLEX Options will become more difficult.

It is important that an investor understand these characteristics before making an investment in the Fund. The Fund has adopted a policy pursuant to Rule 35d<span class="nobreak">-1</span> under the 1940 Act to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that provide exposure to the State Street<span class="Bold-Superscript" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">®</span><span class="Superscript" style="vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;"> </span>SPDR<span class="Bold-Superscript" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">®</span> S&amp;P 500<span class="Bold-Superscript" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">®</span> ETF Trust.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;margin-top:11.7pt;">The Fund’s strategy has been specifically designed to produce the “Outcomes” described below based upon the performance of the Underlying ETF over the duration of the Outcome Period.

To the extent the Underlying ETF decreases in value over the duration of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide shareholders that hold Shares for the entire Outcome Period with a decrease in value that is approximately equal to the share price decrease experienced by the Underlying ETF. Unlike other ETFs that utilize defined outcome investing strategies, the Fund does not provide a buffer (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, protection against a specified percentage amount of Underlying ETF losses over a period of time) against Underlying ETF losses.</p> <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:36pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;margin-top:11.7pt;"><span class="bullet" style="font-family:Symbol, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;">•</span><span style="width: 18px;display: inline-block;">   </span><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Upside Accelerated Returns Subject to a Cap.    </span>The Fund seeks to provide shareholders that hold Shares for the entire Outcome Period with the Accelerated Return, if the Underlying ETF appreciates in value, subject to the Cap.

The Cap is set on the first day of the Outcome Period and is 14.91% prior to taking into account any fees or expenses charged to shareholders. When the Fund’s annual Fund management fee of 0.79% of the Fund’s average daily net assets is taken into account, the Cap is 14.12%.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;margin-top:11.7pt;">To produce the Outcomes, the Fund invests in FLEX Options that reference the Underlying ETF and may also invest in the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof) directly.

The Fund’s sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes are designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, and are based upon the Fund’s NAV at the outset of the Outcome Period. Each FLEX Option’s value is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF during that time. Because the terms of the FLEX Options don’t change, the Accelerated Return and Cap each relate to the Fund’s NAV on the first day of the Outcome Period. Further, since the Fund’s option contracts are exercisable at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes are only provided at the end of the Outcome Period. Therefore, to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund for the Outcome Period, an investor must hold Shares from the commencement of the Outcome Period through its conclusion.<span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to provide the Outcomes.</span></p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund’s NAV is based upon the value of its portfolio which consists of FLEX Options, and may also include shares of the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof).

In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price. FLEX Options are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> option contracts with uniquely customizable terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund seeks to achieve the Outcomes, including the Accelerated Return and Cap, by purchasing and selling call FLEX Options to create layers within the Fund’s portfolio. The customizable nature of FLEX Options allows the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> to select the share price of the Underlying ETF at which the option contract may be exercised. This is commonly known as the “strike price.” At the commencement of the Outcome Period, the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> specifically selects the strike price for each FLEX Option such that when the FLEX Options are exercised on the final day of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes may be obtained, depending on the performance of the Underlying ETF’s share price over the duration of the Outcome Period. Each of the FLEX Options purchased and sold throughout the Outcome Period are expected to have the same or similar terms (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e., </span>strike price and expiration) as the corresponding FLEX Options purchased and sold on the first day of the Outcome Period. The Fund utilizes European style option contracts, which are exercisable only on the expiration date of the option contract.</p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">For a given Outcome Period, the Fund may invest exclusively in FLEX Options or may purchase the Underlying ETF directly (and/or the components thereof) and FLEX Options to produce the Outcomes.

For Outcome Periods in which the Fund directly purchases the Underlying ETF, in addition to FLEX Options, to construct the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund will receive dividends from the Underlying ETF, and the Cap will be provided inclusive of dividends received (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the price returns of the Underlying ETF plus dividends received). If the Fund invests in the Underlying ETF directly (or the components thereof), to calculate the Cap the Adviser will assume an estimated dividend rate for the Underlying ETF (which is based on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF). <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">To the extent the dividends received by the Fund differ from this assumed rate, the Cap may be higher or lower than disclosed herein. </span>If the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, it will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses.

In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into or does not stay invested in the Fund for the entirety of the Outcome Period, any Accelerated Return realized by the investor may not match those that the Fund seeks to achieve. Additionally, if an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into and the Fund has risen in value to a level near the Cap, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares, including any available Accelerated Return. The Fund does not seek to provide investment outcomes on a daily or other short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, which is an attribute of other types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> funds that provide a daily, multiple exposure to a reference index (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, a “daily leveraged ETF”).

As a result, it is very unlikely that, on any given day during which the Underlying ETF increases in value, the Fund will increase in value at the same rate as the Accelerated Return, which is designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period. Likewise, there are situations during the Outcome Period in which the Fund may decrease in value at a higher rate than an associated decrease in the Underlying ETF. If the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has already experienced an Accelerated Return, an investor purchasing Shares at that price is subject to, and may experience losses at a higher rate than, any losses of the Underlying ETF for the remainder of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cap Change Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>A new Cap is established at the beginning of each Outcome Period and is dependent on prevailing market conditions at the time the Cap is established.

The Fund’s strategy seeks to deliver returns that are three times those of the Underlying ETF (subject to the Cap), if Shares are held at the time at which the Fund enters into the FLEX Options and held until those FLEX Options expire at the end of the Outcome Period.

The Fund seeks to actively manage its portfolio such that any transaction fees incurred by the Fund in connection with the management of the Fund’s assets will not impact the Fund’s performance in seeking to provide accelerated exposure to the Underlying ETF or the Fund’s ability to experience returns that match the Cap, to the extent the returns of the Underlying ETF are equal to or greater than the Cap. However, it is not guaranteed that the Fund will be able to successfully manage its assets to contemplate the transaction fees incurred by the Fund to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund. To the extent the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, the Cap will be provided after the consideration of dividends received, whereby the Fund has assumed an anticipated dividend rate, which is on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF.

The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include: (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: (i) changing supply and demand relationships; (ii) government programs and policies; (iii) national and international political and economic events; (iv) changes in interest rates; (v) inflation and deflation; and (vi) changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms, which can magnify potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on share price. The Fund has taken the necessary steps to comply with the requirements of Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span> under the 1940 Act (“<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Rule 18f</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">-4</span></span>”) in its usage of FLEX Options. The Fund has adopted and implements a derivatives risk management program that contains policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Fund’s derivatives risks, has appointed a derivatives risk manager who is responsible for administrating the derivatives risk management program, complies with outer limitations on risks relating to its derivatives transactions and carries out enhanced reporting to the Board, the SEC and the public regarding its derivatives activities. To the extent the Fund is noncompliant with Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span>, the Fund may be required to adjust its investment portfolio which may, in turn, negatively impact the Fund’s ability to deliver the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes. In addition to the foregoing, the Fund is subject to the following risks associated with its use of derivative instruments:</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Clearing Member Default Risk.    </span>Transactions in some types of derivatives, including FLEX Options, are required to be centrally cleared (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“cleared derivatives”</span>). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house, such as the OCC, rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“clearing members”</span>) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. In cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to, and receive payments from, a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any option contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member’s individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with any clearing member as margin for </p><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">its FLEX Options may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund’s clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance of their clients’ obligations to the clearing house, there is a risk that the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member’s bankruptcy. The Fund is also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on the Fund’s behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member’s default. If a clearing member defaults the Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction entered into by the Fund with the clearing member. The loss of a clearing member for the Fund to transact with could result in increased transaction costs and other operational issues that could impede the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategy. If the Fund cannot find a clearing member to transact with on the Fund’s behalf, the Fund may be unable to effectively implement its investment strategy.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Correlation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on their expiration date. As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically will increasingly move with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, the value of the FLEX Options may vary prior to the expiration date because of related factors other than the value of the Underlying ETF. The value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options include interest rate changes and implied volatility levels of the Underlying ETF, among others. The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund typically do not increase or decrease at the same level as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis due to these factors (although they generally move in the same direction). Since the FLEX Options held by the Fund do not expire until one year after the commencement of the Outcome Period, it is possible that the degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF will be higher versus FLEX Options with shorter terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Counterparty Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Counterparty risk is the risk an issuer, guarantor or counterparty of a security in the Fund is unable or unwilling to meet its obligation on the security. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition, market activities, or for other reasons. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited and/or delayed recovery. The OCC acts as guarantor and central counterparty with respect to the FLEX Options. As a result, the ability of the Fund to meet its objective depends on the OCC being able to meet its obligations. In the event an OCC clearing member that is a counterparty of the Fund were to become insolvent, the Fund may have some or all of its FLEX Options closed without its consent or may experience delays or other difficulties in attempting to close or exercise its affected FLEX Options positions, both of which would impair the Fund’s ability to deliver on its investment strategy. The OCC’s rules and procedures are designed to facilitate the prompt settlement of options transactions and exercises, including for clearing member insolvencies. However, there is the risk that the OCC and its backup system will fail if clearing member insolvencies are substantial or widespread. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.</p> </div><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">FLEX Options Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC. The use of option contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of option contracts are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, changes in interest or currency exchange rates, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events. There may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in values option contracts and the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for certain option contracts.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund bears the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities, such as standardized options. In less liquid markets for the FLEX Options, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. In connection with the creation and redemption of Shares, to the extent market participants are not willing or able to enter into FLEX Option transactions with the Fund at prices that reflect the market price of the Shares, the Fund’s NAV and, in turn the share price of the Fund, could be negatively impacted.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless.

In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, terminating the FLEX Options may require the payment of a premium or acceptance of a discounted price and may take longer to complete. Additionally, the liquidation of a large number of FLEX Options may more significantly impact the price in a less liquid market. Further, the Fund requires a sufficient number of participants to facilitate the purchase and sale of options on an exchange to provide liquidity to the Fund for its FLEX Option positions.

The Underlying ETF is subject to many of the same structural risks as the Fund that are described in more detail herein (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">see </span>“Risks Associated with ETFs” below). The Adviser expects to waive a portion of its management fee in an amount that equals to any acquired fund fees and expenses the Fund incurs as a result of any direct investment in the Underlying ETF. However, if the Adviser does not waive such expenses in the future, the Fund will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses, subjecting Fund shareholders to such expenses. Further, the risks of investing in an ETF also include the risks associated with the underlying investments held by the ETF. As such, the Fund may be subject to the following risks as a result of its exposure to the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof):</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Equity Securities Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Equity securities may decline in value because of declines in the price of a particular holding or the broad stock market.

Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Information technology companies are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Large Capitalization Companies Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate and be less able to adapt to changing market conditions than smaller capitalization companies. Thus, the return on investment in securities of large capitalization companies may be less than the return on investment in securities of small and/or mid capitalization companies.

To the extent the Fund has significant exposure in a single asset class or the securities of issuers within the same country, state, region, industry or sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Fund’s investments more than if the Fund were more broadly diversified. A significant exposure makes the Fund more susceptible to any single occurrence and may subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that is more broadly diversified.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Cyber Security Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>As the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the investment industry has become more susceptible to potential operational risks through breaches in cyber security. A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity. Such events could cause the Fund to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures and/or financial loss. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems through “hacking” or malicious software coding, but may also result from outside attacks such as denial<span class="nobreak">-of-service</span> attacks through efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users. In addition, cyber security breaches of the Fund’s third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers, such as its administrator, transfer agent, or custodian can also subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches. The Fund has established risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security. However, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because the Fund does not directly control the cyber security systems of issuers or third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Market Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund could lose money over short periods due to short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. Assets may decline in value due to factors affecting financial markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of FLEX Options or other assets may also decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or due to factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates will not have the same impact on all types of securities. Securities, including the Shares, are subject to market fluctuations and liquidity constraints that may be caused by such factors as economic, political, or regulatory developments, changes in interest rates, and/or perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of the Fund could decline in value or underperform other investments. The value of Shares may also decline as a result of market conditions. Factors such as inflation, changes in interest rates, changes in regulatory requirements, bank failures, political climate deterioration or developments, armed conflicts, natural disasters or future health crises, may negatively impact market conditions, and cause a decrease in the value of Shares. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy.

To the extent that authorized participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with orders for the issuance or redemption of Creation Units and no other authorized participant is able to step forward to fulfill the order, Shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting, and the bid/ask spread (the difference between the price that someone is willing to pay for Shares at a specific point in time versus the price at which someone is willing to sell) on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cash Transactions Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund may effectuate all or a portion of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units for cash, rather than in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> securities. As a result, an investment in the Fund may be less tax<span class="nobreak">-efficient</span> than an investment in an ETF that effectuates its Creation Units only on an in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> basis. ETFs are able to make in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> redemptions to avoid being taxed on gains on the distributed portfolio securities at the fund level. A fund that effects redemptions for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds and may be forced to recognize gains. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effectuated in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with special tax rules that apply to it. This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise be subject to, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span>, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. The Fund’s use of cash for creations and redemptions could also result in dilution to the Fund and increased transaction costs, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Market Maker Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>If the Fund has lower average daily trading volumes, it may rely on a small number of third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> market makers to provide a market for the purchase and sale of Shares.

In addition, decisions by market makers or authorized participants to reduce their role or step away from these activities in times of market stress could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying values of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the Fund’s market price.

The market price of Shares generally corresponds to movements in the Fund’s NAV as well as the relative supply and demand for Shares on the Exchange. The market price may be at, above (a premium) or below (a discount) the Fund’s NAV. Differences in market prices of Shares and the NAV per Share may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. These differences can be especially pronounced during times of market volatility or stress. During these periods, the demand for Shares may decrease considerably and cause the market price of Shares to deviate, and in some cases deviate significantly, from the Fund’s NAV and the bid/ask spread on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Trading Issues Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Although Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained.

In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. Market makers are under no obligation to make a market in the Shares, and authorized participants are not obligated to submit purchase or redemption orders for Creation Units. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="-sec-ix-redline:true;margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Tax Risk.    </span>The Fund has elected to be treated and intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“RIC”</span>) under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to be treated as a RIC, the Fund must meet certain income, diversification and distribution tests. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. The federal income tax treatment of certain aspects of the proposed operations of the Fund is not entirely clear, which could impact the Fund’s ability to qualify as a RIC. This includes the tax aspects of the Fund’s options strategy, its hedging strategy, the possible application of the “straddle” rules, and various loss limitation provisions of the Code. The Fund’s investments in offsetting positions with respect to the Underlying ETF may affect the character of gains or losses realized by the Fund under the Code’s “straddle” rules and may increase any short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> capital gains realized by the Fund. The Fund intends to treat any income it may derive from the FLEX Options as “qualifying income” under the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs. If the income is not qualifying income or the referenced asset is not appropriately treated as the issuer of the </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">FLEX Options, the Fund could lose its own status as a RIC. To maintain its status as a RIC, the Fund must distribute, on an annual basis, at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for each taxable year. In addition, to avoid a non<span class="nobreak">-deductible</span> excise tax, the Fund must distribute on a calendar year basis 98% of its ordinary taxable income and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each taxable year (plus 100% of any undistributed amounts for prior years). Separately, depending upon the circumstances, sales of its portfolio investments (including FLEX Options) to fund redemptions could cause the Fund to recognize income that the Fund is required to distribute to maintain the Fund’s RIC status and avoid the excise tax. Funding such distributions could require additional sales, which could require more distributions and affect the projected performance of the Fund. Alternatively, if the Fund only makes distributions to maintain its RIC status and becomes subject to the excise tax, that could also affect the projected performance of the Fund. In either case, the assets sold to fund redemptions, distributions or pay the excise tax will not be available to assist the Fund in meeting its target outcome. With respect to the RIC diversification test, identifying the issuer can depend on the terms and conditions of a given investment. There is no published Internal Revenue Service guidance or only limited case law on how to determine the “issuer” of certain derivatives that the Fund will enter into. Based upon language in the legislative history, the Fund intends to treat the issuer of the FLEX Options as the referenced asset, which, assuming the referenced asset qualifies as a RIC, would allow the Fund to qualify for special rules in the RIC diversification requirements. The FLEX Options included in the portfolio are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options. Under Section 1256 of the Code, certain types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options are treated as if they were sold (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, “marked to market”) at the end of each year. The Fund does not believe that the positions held by the Fund will be subject to Section 1256, which means that the positions will not be marked to market. There is a risk that because the offsetting FLEX Options are being held by a single person that the IRS may take the position that the FLEX Options, viewed together, should be treated as a single instrument for federal tax purposes. The result of such a position would be that the Fund would fail the RIC diversification tests causing the RIC to be taxed as an ordinary corporation, unless certain cure rights based upon reasonable cause may apply. The Fund has obtained an opinion of tax counsel that the FLEX Options should not be collapsed into a single instrument. However, such an opinion is not binding upon the IRS or the courts. In the event that a shareholder purchases Shares of the Fund before a distribution by the Fund, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Valuation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the valuation of the Fund’s FLEX Options will become more difficult. In market environments where there is reduced availability of reliable objective pricing data, the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser in determining the fair value of the security may play a greater role. While such determinations may be made in good faith, it may nevertheless be more difficult for the Fund to accurately assign a daily value.</p> Performance <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The bar chart and table below illustrate the annual calendar year returns of the Fund based on NAV as well as the average annual Fund returns.

The current Outcome Period is from January<span class="nobreak"> </span>1, 2026 through March<span class="nobreak"> </span>31, 2026. The Fund’s sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes are designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, and are based upon the Fund’s NAV at the outset of the Outcome Period. Each FLEX Option’s value is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF during that time. Because the terms of the FLEX Options don’t change, the Accelerated Return and Cap each relate to the Fund’s NAV on the first day of the Outcome Period. Further, since the Fund’s option contracts are exercisable at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes are only provided at the end of the Outcome Period. Therefore, to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund for the Outcome Period, an investor must hold Shares from the commencement of the Outcome Period through its conclusion.<span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to provide the Outcomes.</span></p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund’s NAV is based upon the value of its portfolio which consists of FLEX Options, and may also include shares of the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof). Although the value of the Underlying ETF’s share price is a significant component of the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options, the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options (and therefore, the Fund’s NAV) will not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a daily basis. The time remaining until those FLEX Options expire, which is at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, also affects their value. The degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF may be higher than if the FLEX Options utilized by the Fund had a shorter </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">term. The Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> generally anticipates that the Fund’s NAV will increase on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price increases and will decrease on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price decreases, but that the rate of such increase or decrease may be less than that experienced by the Underlying ETF. Further, it is unlikely that the Fund’s value will increase at a rate that is the same rate as the Accelerated Return (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, an increase in value that is two times the increase in value experienced by the Underlying ETF) during the Outcome Period. The Fund does not seek to provide the Outcomes on a daily or short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, but instead seeks to provide the Outcomes at the conclusion of the Outcome Period for those investors who have held Shares for the duration of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">For additional information regarding the Outcome Period, including the potential impacts of purchasing and selling intra<span class="nobreak">-Outcome</span> Period, <span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">see</span> “Additional Information Regarding the Fund’s Principal Investment Strategies.”</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="BoldItalic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Potential Upside Accelerated Return Subject to a Cap.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund’s potential upside returns are unlike other investment products. If the Underlying ETF increases in value over the duration of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide returns that are two times the increase experienced by the Underlying ETF, subject to the Cap. <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">The Cap represents the maximum percentage return an investor can achieve from an investment in the Fund over the duration of the Outcome Period. Therefore, even though the Fund’s returns (and any potential Accelerated Return) are based upon the performance of the Underlying ETF, if the Underlying ETF experiences returns for the Outcome Period in excess of the Cap, the Fund will not participate in such excess returns.</span> The Cap is determined on the first day of the Outcome Period and is 8.08% prior to taking into account any fees or expenses charged to shareholders. When the Fund’s annual Fund management fee of 0.79% of the Fund’s average daily net assets is taken into account for the Outcome Period, the Cap is 7.88%. The Cap will be further reduced by any shareholder transaction fees, any acquired fund fees and expenses, and any extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund. The Cap will change from one Outcome Period to the next based upon prevailing market conditions at the beginning of the Outcome Period. The Cap is also set forth on the Fund’s website at <span class="CharOverride-6" style="text-decoration:underline;">www.innovatoretfs.com/xdqq.</span></p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="BoldItalic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">The Fund’s Portfolio.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund invests in FLEX Options that reference the Underlying ETF and may also invest directly in shares of the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof). In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price. FLEX Options are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> option contracts with uniquely customizable terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund seeks to achieve the Outcomes, including the Accelerated Return and Cap, by purchasing and selling call FLEX Options to create layers within the Fund’s portfolio. The customizable nature of FLEX Options allows the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> to select the share price of the Underlying ETF at which the option contract may be exercised. This is commonly known as the “strike price.” At the commencement of the Outcome Period, the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> specifically selects the strike price for each FLEX Option such that when the FLEX Options are exercised on the final day of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes may be obtained, depending on the performance of the Underlying ETF’s share price over the duration of the Outcome Period. Each of the FLEX Options purchased and sold throughout the Outcome Period are expected to have </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">the same or similar terms (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e., </span>strike price and expiration) as the corresponding FLEX Options purchased and sold on the first day of the Outcome Period.

For Outcome Periods in which the Fund directly purchases the Underlying ETF, in addition to FLEX Options, to construct the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund will receive dividends from the Underlying ETF, and the Cap will be provided inclusive of dividends received (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the price returns of the Underlying ETF plus dividends received). If the Fund invests in the Underlying ETF directly (or the components thereof), to calculate the Cap the Adviser will assume an estimated dividend rate for the Underlying ETF (which is based on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF). <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">To the extent the dividends received by the Fund differ from this assumed rate, the Cap may be higher or lower than disclosed herein. </span>If the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, it will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses.

Important information relating to the Fund, including information relating to the Cap, is communicated on the Fund’s website.</p> The Fund has adopted a policy pursuant to Rule 35d<span class="nobreak">-1</span> under the 1940 Act to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that provide exposure to the Invesco QQQ Trust<span class="Superscript" style="vertical-align:super;font-size:58%;">SM</span>, Series 1. The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). To the extent the Underlying ETF concentrates (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. You could lose money by investing in the Fund.

In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into or does not stay invested in the Fund for the entirety of the Outcome Period, any Accelerated Return realized by the investor may not match those that the Fund seeks to achieve. Additionally, if an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into and the Fund has risen in value to a level near the Cap, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares, including any available Accelerated Return. The Fund does not seek to provide investment outcomes on a daily or other short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, which is an attribute of other types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> funds that provide a daily, multiple exposure to a reference index (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, a “daily leveraged ETF”). In contrast, the Fund seeks to provide the Outcomes for the entire Outcome Period. In addition, because the Fund is designed to achieve Outcomes that change for each three<span class="nobreak">-month</span> Outcome Period, the Outcomes that are achieved by the Fund for a three<span class="nobreak">-month</span> Outcome Period will be different than the outcomes achieved by the Fund over multiple Outcome Periods or on an annualized basis. Similarly, investors holding Shares over multiple Outcome Periods will experience different investment results than holding a fund that has a longer Outcome Period (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">e.g.</span>, one year).</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF for the entire Outcome Period. As a result, it is very unlikely that, on any given day during which the Underlying ETF increases in value, the Fund will increase in value at the same rate as the Accelerated Return, which is designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period. Likewise, there are situations during the Outcome Period in which the Fund may decrease in value at a higher rate than an associated decrease in the Underlying ETF. If the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has already experienced an Accelerated Return, an investor purchasing Shares at that price is subject to, and may experience losses at a higher rate than, any losses of the Underlying ETF for the remainder of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cap Change Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>A new Cap is established at the beginning of each Outcome Period and is dependent on prevailing market conditions at the time the Cap is established. As such, the Cap may rise or fall from one Outcome Period to the next and is unlikely to remain the same for consecutive Outcome Periods.</p><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Capped Upside Return Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund’s strategy seeks to provide returns that are subject to the Cap. In the event that the Underlying ETF experiences gains in excess of the Cap for the Outcome Period, the Fund will not participate in, and will underperform the Underlying ETF to the extent of, those gains beyond the Cap. The Fund’s strategy seeks to deliver returns that are two times those of the Underlying ETF (subject to the Cap), if Shares are held at the time at which the Fund enters into the FLEX Options and held until those FLEX Options expire at the end of the Outcome Period. In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares. Further, because the FLEX Options are designed to produce the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> returns on the last day of the Outcome Period, if an investor sells Shares prior to the expiration date of the FLEX Options such investor may sell at a point where the Fund’s performance does not match or exceed the performance of the Underlying ETF over the Outcome Period, and therefore may sell at a point where the Fund has underperformed the Underlying ETF, even if such gains do not exceed the Cap. The Fund seeks to actively manage its portfolio such that any transaction fees incurred by the Fund in connection with the management of the Fund’s assets will not impact the Fund’s performance in seeking to provide accelerated exposure to the Underlying ETF or the Fund’s ability to experience returns that match the Cap, to the extent the returns of the Underlying ETF are equal to or greater than the Cap. However, it is not guaranteed that the Fund will be able to successfully manage its assets to contemplate the transaction fees incurred by the Fund to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund. To the extent the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, the Cap will be provided after the consideration of dividends received, whereby the Fund has assumed an anticipated dividend rate, which is on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF. This assumed dividend rate may be less than dividends actually received by the Fund for the Outcome Period, in which case the Cap will be less than disclosed herein.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Investment Objective Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Certain circumstances under which the Fund might not achieve its objective include, but are not limited, to (i) if the Fund disposes of FLEX Options, (ii) if the Fund is unable to maintain the proportional relationship based on the number of FLEX Options in the Fund’s portfolio, (iii) a significant accrual of Fund expenses in connection with effecting the Fund’s principal investment strategy or (iv) adverse tax law changes or interpretations affecting the treatment of FLEX Options. If these factors were to occur, the Fund may be unable to achieve its investment objective, and investors may not receive the Outcomes described herein. Finally, the Fund is also subject to management risk as an actively<span class="nobreak">-managed</span> fund, which may cause it not to achieve its investment objective.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Management Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Defined outcome strategies are actively<span class="nobreak">-managed</span> and accordingly, the Fund is subject to management risk.

The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include: (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: (i) changing supply and demand relationships; (ii) government programs and policies; (iii) national and international political and economic events; (iv) changes in interest rates; (v) inflation and deflation; and (vi) changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms, which can magnify potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on share price. The Fund has taken the necessary steps to comply with the requirements of Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span> under the 1940 Act (“<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Rule 18f</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">-4</span></span>”) in its usage of FLEX Options. The Fund has adopted and implements a derivatives risk management program that contains policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Fund’s derivatives risks, has appointed a derivatives risk manager who is responsible for administrating the derivatives risk management program, complies with outer limitations on risks relating to its derivatives transactions and carries out enhanced reporting to the Board, the SEC and the public regarding its derivatives activities. To the extent the Fund is noncompliant with Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span>, the Fund may </p><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">be required to adjust its investment portfolio which may, in turn, negatively impact the Fund’s ability to deliver the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes. In addition to the foregoing, the Fund is subject to the following risks associated with its use of derivative instruments:</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Clearing Member Default Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Transactions in some types of derivatives, including FLEX Options, are required to be centrally cleared (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“cleared derivatives”</span>). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house, such as the OCC, rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“clearing members”</span>) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. In cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to, and receive payments from, a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any option contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member’s individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with any clearing member as margin for its FLEX Options may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund’s clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance of their clients’ obligations to the clearing house, there is a risk that the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member’s bankruptcy. The Fund is also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on the Fund’s behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member’s default. If a clearing member defaults the Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction entered into by the Fund with the clearing member. The loss of a clearing member for the Fund to transact with could result in increased transaction costs and other operational issues that could impede the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategy. If the Fund cannot find a clearing member to transact with on the Fund’s behalf, the Fund may be unable to effectively implement its investment strategy.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Correlation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on their expiration date. As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically will increasingly move with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, the value of the FLEX Options may vary prior to the expiration date because of related factors other than the value of the Underlying ETF. The value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options include interest rate changes and implied volatility levels of the Underlying ETF, among others. The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund typically do not increase or decrease at the same level as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis due to these factors (although they generally move in the same direction).</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Counterparty Risk.    </span>Counterparty risk is the risk an issuer, guarantor or counterparty of a security in the Fund is unable or unwilling to meet its obligation on the security. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition, market activities, or for other reasons. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited and/or delayed recovery. The OCC acts as guarantor and central counterparty with respect to the FLEX Options. As a result, the ability of the Fund to meet its objective depends on the OCC being able to meet its obligations. In the event an OCC clearing member that is a counterparty of the Fund were to become insolvent, the Fund may have some or all </p> </div><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">of its FLEX Options closed without its consent or may experience delays or other difficulties in attempting to close or exercise its affected FLEX Options positions, both of which would impair the Fund’s ability to deliver on its investment strategy. The OCC’s rules and procedures are designed to facilitate the prompt settlement of options transactions and exercises, including for clearing member insolvencies. However, there is the risk that the OCC and its backup system will fail if clearing member insolvencies are substantial or widespread. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">FLEX Options Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC. The use of option contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of option contracts are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, changes in interest or currency exchange rates, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events. There may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in values option contracts and the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for certain option contracts.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund bears the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities, such as standardized options. In less liquid markets for the FLEX Options, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. In connection with the creation and redemption of Shares, to the extent market participants are not willing or able to enter into FLEX Option transactions with the Fund at prices that reflect the market price of the Shares, the Fund’s NAV and, in turn the share price of the Fund, could be negatively impacted.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless. The FLEX Options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike price on their expiration date. As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically increasingly moves with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, prior to such date, the value of the FLEX Options does not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis (although they generally move in the same direction). The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund will be determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. The value of the underlying FLEX Options will be affected by, among others, changes in the Underlying ETF’s share price, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual and implied volatility of the Underlying ETF and the remaining time to until the FLEX Options expire.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Liquidity Risk.    </span>In the event that trading in the underlying FLEX Options is limited or absent, the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options may decrease.

In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, terminating the FLEX Options may require the payment of a premium or acceptance of a discounted price and may take longer to complete. Additionally, the liquidation of a large number of FLEX Options may more significantly impact the price in a less liquid market. Further, the Fund requires a sufficient number of participants to facilitate the purchase and sale of options on an exchange to provide liquidity to the Fund for its FLEX Option positions. A less liquid trading market may adversely impact the value of the FLEX Options and the value of your investment.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Underlying ETF Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund’s investment performance largely depends on the investment performance and associated risks of the Underlying ETF. The Underlying ETF is subject to many of the same structural risks as the Fund that are described in more detail herein (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">see </span>“Risks Associated with ETFs” below). The Adviser expects to waive a portion of its management fee in an amount that equals to any acquired fund fees and expenses the Fund incurs as a result of any direct investment in the Underlying ETF. However, if the Adviser does not waive such expenses in the future, the Fund will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses, subjecting Fund shareholders to such expenses. Further, the risks of investing in an ETF also include the risks associated with the underlying investments held by the ETF. As such, the Fund may be subject to the following risks as a result of its exposure to the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Equity Securities Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Equity securities may decline in value because of declines in the price of a particular holding or the broad stock market.

Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Information technology companies are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Large Capitalization Companies Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate and be less able to adapt to changing market conditions than smaller capitalization companies. Thus, the return on investment in securities of large capitalization companies may be less than the return on investment in securities of small and/or mid capitalization companies.

To the extent the Fund has significant exposure in a single asset class or the securities of issuers within the same country, state, region, industry or sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Fund’s investments more than if the Fund were more broadly diversified. A significant exposure makes the Fund more susceptible to any single occurrence and may subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that is more broadly diversified.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Cyber Security Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>As the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the investment industry has become more susceptible to potential operational risks through breaches in cyber security. A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity. Such events could cause the Fund to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures and/or financial loss. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems through “hacking” or malicious software coding, but may also result from outside attacks such as denial<span class="nobreak">-of-service</span> attacks through efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users. In addition, cyber security breaches of the Fund’s third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers, such as its administrator, transfer agent, or custodian can also subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches. The Fund has established risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security. However, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because the Fund does not directly control the cyber security systems of issuers or third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Market Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund could lose money over short periods due to short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. Assets may decline in value due to factors affecting financial markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of FLEX Options or other assets may also decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or due to factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates will not have the same impact on all types of securities. Securities, including the Shares, are subject to market fluctuations and liquidity constraints that may be caused by such factors as economic, political, or regulatory developments, changes in interest rates, and/or perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of the Fund could decline in value or underperform other investments. The value of Shares may also decline as a result of market conditions. Factors such as inflation, changes in interest rates, changes in regulatory requirements, bank failures, political climate deterioration or developments, armed conflicts, natural disasters or future health crises, may negatively impact market conditions, and cause a decrease in the value of Shares. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy. These events, and any other future events, may adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Non</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">-Diversification</span></span><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> Risk.    </span>The Fund is classified as a “non<span class="nobreak">-diversified</span> company” under the 1940 Act.

The Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, experience increased volatility and be highly invested in certain issuers.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Risks Associated with ETFs.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund is an ETF, and therefore, as a result of an ETF’s structure, is subject to the following risks:</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Authorized Participant Concentration Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Only an authorized participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund.

To the extent that authorized participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with orders for the issuance or redemption of Creation Units and no other authorized participant is able to step forward to fulfill the order, Shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting, and the bid/ask spread (the difference between the price that someone is willing to pay for Shares at a specific point in time versus the price at which someone is willing to sell) on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cash Transactions Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund may effectuate all or a portion of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units for cash, rather than in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> securities. As a result, an investment in the Fund may be less tax<span class="nobreak">-efficient</span> than an investment in an ETF that effectuates its Creation Units only on an in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> basis. ETFs are able to make in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> redemptions to avoid being taxed on gains on the distributed portfolio securities at the fund level. A fund that effects redemptions for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds and may be forced to recognize gains. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effectuated in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with special tax rules that apply to it. This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise be subject to, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span>, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. The Fund’s use of cash for creations and redemptions could also result in dilution to the Fund and increased transaction costs, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Market Maker Risk.    </span>If the Fund has lower average daily trading volumes, it may rely on a small number of third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> market makers to provide a market for the purchase and sale of Shares.

In addition, decisions by market makers or authorized participants to reduce their role or step away from these activities in times of market stress could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying values of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the Fund’s market price.

The market price may be at, above (a premium) or below (a discount) the Fund’s NAV. Differences in market prices of Shares and the NAV per Share may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. These differences can be especially pronounced during times of market volatility or stress. During these periods, the demand for Shares may decrease considerably and cause the market price of Shares to deviate, and in some cases deviate significantly, from the Fund’s NAV and the bid/ask spread on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Trading Issues Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Although Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained.

In order to be treated as a RIC, the Fund must meet certain income, diversification and distribution tests. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. The federal income tax treatment of certain aspects of the proposed operations of the Fund is not entirely clear, which could impact the Fund’s ability to qualify as a RIC. This includes the tax aspects of the Fund’s options strategy, its hedging strategy, the possible application of the “straddle” rules, and various loss limitation provisions of the Code. The Fund’s investments in </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">offsetting positions with respect to the Underlying ETF may affect the character of gains or losses realized by the Fund under the Code’s “straddle” rules and may increase any short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> capital gains realized by the Fund. The Fund intends to treat any income it may derive from the FLEX Options as “qualifying income” under the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs. If the income is not qualifying income or the referenced asset is not appropriately treated as the issuer of the FLEX Options, the Fund could lose its own status as a RIC. To maintain its status as a RIC, the Fund must distribute, on an annual basis, at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for each taxable year. In addition, to avoid a non<span class="nobreak">-deductible</span> excise tax, the Fund must distribute on a calendar year basis 98% of its ordinary taxable income and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each taxable year (plus 100% of any undistributed amounts for prior years). Separately, depending upon the circumstances, sales of its portfolio investments (including FLEX Options) to fund redemptions could cause the Fund to recognize income that the Fund is required to distribute to maintain the Fund’s RIC status and avoid the excise tax. Funding such distributions could require additional sales, which could require more distributions and affect the projected performance of the Fund. Alternatively, if the Fund only makes distributions to maintain its RIC status and becomes subject to the excise tax, that could also affect the projected performance of the Fund. In either case, the assets sold to fund redemptions, distributions or pay the excise tax will not be available to assist the Fund in meeting its target outcome. With respect to the RIC diversification test, identifying the issuer can depend on the terms and conditions of a given investment. There is no published Internal Revenue Service guidance or only limited case law on how to determine the “issuer” of certain derivatives that the Fund will enter into. Based upon language in the legislative history, the Fund intends to treat the issuer of the FLEX Options as the referenced asset, which, assuming the referenced asset qualifies as a RIC, would allow the Fund to qualify for special rules in the RIC diversification requirements. The FLEX Options included in the portfolio are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options. Under Section 1256 of the Code, certain types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options are treated as if they were sold (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, “marked to market”) at the end of each year. The Fund does not believe that the positions held by the Fund will be subject to Section 1256, which means that the positions will not be marked to market. There is a risk that because the offsetting FLEX Options are being held by a single person that the IRS may take the position that the FLEX Options, viewed together, should be treated as a single instrument for federal tax purposes. The result of such a position would be that the Fund would fail the RIC diversification tests causing the RIC to be taxed as an ordinary corporation, unless certain cure rights based upon reasonable cause may apply. The Fund has obtained an opinion of tax counsel that the FLEX Options should not be collapsed into a single instrument. However, such an opinion is not binding upon the IRS or the courts. In the event that a shareholder purchases Shares of the Fund before a distribution by the Fund, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Valuation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the valuation of the Fund’s FLEX Options will become more difficult. In market environments where there is reduced availability of reliable objective pricing data, the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser in determining the fair value of the security may play a greater role. While such determinations may be made in good faith, it may nevertheless be more difficult for the Fund to accurately assign a daily value.</p> Performance <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The bar chart and table below illustrate the annual calendar year returns of the Fund based on NAV as well as the average annual Fund returns.

To the extent the Underlying ETF decreases in value over the duration of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide shareholders that hold Shares for the entire Outcome Period with a decrease in value that is approximately equal to the share price decrease experienced by the Underlying ETF.

The current Outcome Period is from January<span class="nobreak"> </span>1, 2026 through March<span class="nobreak"> </span>31, 2026. The Fund’s sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes are designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, and are based upon the Fund’s NAV at the outset of the Outcome Period. Each FLEX Option’s value is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF during that time. Because the terms of the FLEX Options don’t change, the Accelerated Return and Cap each relate to the Fund’s NAV on the first day of the Outcome Period. Further, since the Fund’s option contracts are exercisable at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes are only provided at the end of the Outcome Period. Therefore, to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund for the Outcome Period, an investor must hold Shares from the commencement of the Outcome Period through its conclusion.<span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to provide the Outcomes.</span></p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund’s NAV is based upon the value of its portfolio which consists of FLEX Options, and may also include shares of the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof). Although the value of the Underlying ETF’s share price is a significant component of the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options, the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options (and therefore, the Fund’s NAV) will not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a daily basis. The time remaining until those FLEX Options expire, which is at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, also affects their value. The degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF may be higher than if the FLEX Options utilized by the Fund had a shorter term. The Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> generally anticipates that the Fund’s NAV will increase on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price increases and will decrease on days when the Underlying ETF’s share price decreases, but that the rate of such increase or decrease may be less than that experienced by the Underlying ETF. Further, it is unlikely that the Fund’s value will increase at a rate that is the same rate as the Accelerated Return (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, an increase in value that is two times the increase in value experienced by the Underlying ETF) during the Outcome Period. The Fund does not seek to provide the Outcomes on a daily or short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, but instead seeks to provide the Outcomes at the conclusion of the Outcome Period for those investors who have held Shares for the duration of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">For additional information regarding the Outcome Period, including the potential impacts of purchasing and selling intra<span class="nobreak">-Outcome</span> Period, <span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">see</span> “Additional Information Regarding the Fund’s Principal Investment Strategies.”</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="BoldItalic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Potential Upside Accelerated Return Subject to a Cap.    </span>The Fund’s potential upside returns are unlike other investment products. If the Underlying ETF increases in value over the duration of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide returns that are two times the increase experienced by the Underlying ETF, subject to the Cap. <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">The Cap represents the maximum percentage return an investor can achieve from an investment in the Fund over the duration of the Outcome Period.

In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price. FLEX Options are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> option contracts with uniquely customizable terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund seeks to achieve the Outcomes, including the Accelerated Return and Cap, by purchasing and selling call FLEX Options to create layers within the Fund’s portfolio. The customizable nature of FLEX Options allows the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> to select the share price of the Underlying ETF at which the option contract may be exercised. This is commonly known as the “strike price.” At the commencement of the Outcome Period, the Sub<span class="nobreak">-Adviser</span> specifically selects the strike price for each FLEX Option such that when the FLEX Options are exercised on the final day of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes may be obtained, depending on the performance of the Underlying ETF’s share price over the duration of the Outcome Period. Each of the FLEX Options purchased and sold throughout the Outcome Period are expected to have the same or similar terms (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e., </span>strike price and expiration) as the corresponding FLEX Options purchased and sold on the first day of the Outcome Period. The Fund utilizes European style option contracts, which are exercisable only on the expiration date of the option contract.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">For a given Outcome Period, the Fund may invest exclusively in FLEX Options or may purchase the Underlying ETF directly (and/or the components thereof) and FLEX Options to produce the Outcomes. To the extent the Fund invests solely in FLEX Options that reference the Underlying ETF, the Cap will be provided on a price return basis (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the Outcomes will be provided based on changes in the share price of the Underlying ETF), and the Fund will not receive the benefit of any dividends. For Outcome Periods in which the Fund directly purchases the Underlying ETF, in addition to FLEX Options, to construct the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund will receive dividends from the Underlying ETF, and the Cap will be provided inclusive of dividends received (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, the price returns of the Underlying ETF plus dividends received). If the Fund invests in the Underlying ETF directly (or the components thereof), to calculate the Cap the Adviser will assume an estimated dividend rate for the Underlying ETF (which is based on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF). <span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">To the extent the dividends received by the Fund differ from this assumed rate, the Cap may be higher or lower than disclosed herein. </span>If the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, it will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses.

The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). To the extent the Underlying ETF concentrates (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent.

In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into or does not stay invested in the Fund for the entirety of the Outcome Period, any Accelerated Return realized by the investor may not match those that the Fund seeks to achieve. Additionally, if an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into and the Fund has risen in value to a level near the Cap, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares, including any available Accelerated Return. The Fund does not seek to provide investment outcomes on a daily or other short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, which is an attribute of other types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> funds that provide a daily, multiple exposure to a reference index (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, a “daily leveraged ETF”). In contrast, the Fund seeks to provide the Outcomes for the entire Outcome Period. In addition, because the Fund is designed to achieve Outcomes that change for each three<span class="nobreak">-month</span> Outcome Period, the Outcomes that are achieved by the Fund for a three<span class="nobreak">-month</span> Outcome Period will be different than the outcomes achieved by the Fund over multiple Outcome Periods or on </p><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">an annualized basis.

As a result, it is very unlikely that, on any given day during which the Underlying ETF increases in value, the Fund will increase in value at the same rate as the Accelerated Return, which is designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period. Likewise, there are situations during the Outcome Period in which the Fund may decrease in value at a higher rate than an associated decrease in the Underlying ETF. If the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has already experienced an Accelerated Return, an investor purchasing Shares at that price is subject to, and may experience losses at a higher rate than, any losses of the Underlying ETF for the remainder of the Outcome Period.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Cap Change Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>A new Cap is established at the beginning of each Outcome Period and is dependent on prevailing market conditions at the time the Cap is established.

In the event that the Underlying ETF experiences gains in excess of the Cap for the Outcome Period, the Fund will not participate in, and will underperform the Underlying ETF to the extent of, those gains beyond the Cap. The Fund’s strategy seeks to deliver returns that are two times those of the Underlying ETF (subject to the Cap), if Shares are held at the time at which the Fund enters into the FLEX Options and held until those FLEX Options expire at the end of the Outcome Period. In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares. Further, because the FLEX Options are designed to produce the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> returns on the last day of the Outcome Period, if an investor sells Shares prior to the expiration date of the FLEX Options such investor may sell at a point where the Fund’s performance does not match or exceed the performance of the Underlying ETF over the Outcome Period, and therefore may sell at a point where the Fund has underperformed the Underlying ETF, even if such gains do not exceed the Cap. The Fund seeks to actively manage its portfolio such that any transaction fees incurred by the Fund in connection with the management of the Fund’s assets will not impact the Fund’s performance in seeking to provide accelerated exposure to the Underlying ETF or the Fund’s ability to experience returns that match the Cap, to the extent the returns of the Underlying ETF are equal to or greater than the Cap. However, it is not guaranteed that the Fund will be able to successfully manage its assets to contemplate the transaction fees incurred by the Fund to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund. To the extent the Fund invests directly in the Underlying ETF, the Cap will be provided after the consideration of dividends received, whereby the Fund has assumed an anticipated dividend rate, which is on the historical dividend rate of the Underlying ETF. This assumed dividend rate may be less than dividends actually received by the Fund for the Outcome Period, in which case the Cap will be less than disclosed herein.</p> </div><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Investment Objective Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Certain circumstances under which the Fund might not achieve its objective include, but are not limited, to (i) if the Fund disposes of FLEX Options, (ii) if the Fund is unable to maintain the proportional relationship based on the number of FLEX Options in the Fund’s portfolio, (iii) a significant accrual of Fund expenses in connection with effecting the Fund’s principal investment strategy or (iv) adverse tax law changes or interpretations affecting the treatment of FLEX Options.

In addition, because the Fund is designed to achieve Outcomes that change for each three<span class="nobreak">-month</span> Outcome Period, the Outcomes that are achieved by the Fund for a three<span class="nobreak">-month</span> Outcome Period will be different than the Outcomes achieved by the Fund over multiple Outcome Periods, or on an annualized basis.

The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include: (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or </p><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: (i) changing supply and demand relationships; (ii) government programs and policies; (iii) national and international political and economic events; (iv) changes in interest rates; (v) inflation and deflation; and (vi) changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms, which can magnify potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on share price. The Fund has taken the necessary steps to comply with the requirements of Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span> under the 1940 Act (“<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Rule 18f</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">-4</span></span>”) in its usage of FLEX Options. The Fund has adopted and implements a derivatives risk management program that contains policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Fund’s derivatives risks, has appointed a derivatives risk manager who is responsible for administrating the derivatives risk management program, complies with outer limitations on risks relating to its derivatives transactions and carries out enhanced reporting to the Board, the SEC and the public regarding its derivatives activities. To the extent the Fund is noncompliant with Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span>, the Fund may be required to adjust its investment portfolio which may, in turn, negatively impact the Fund’s ability to deliver the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Outcomes. In addition to the foregoing, the Fund is subject to the following risks associated with its use of derivative instruments:</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Clearing Member Default Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Transactions in some types of derivatives, including FLEX Options, are required to be centrally cleared (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“cleared derivatives”</span>). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house, such as the OCC, rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“clearing members”</span>) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. In cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to, and receive payments from, a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any option contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member’s individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with any clearing member as margin for its FLEX Options may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund’s clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance of their clients’ obligations to the clearing house, there is a risk that the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member’s bankruptcy. The Fund is also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on the Fund’s behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member’s default. If a clearing member defaults the Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction entered into by the Fund with the clearing member. The loss of a clearing member for the Fund to transact with could result in increased transaction costs and other operational issues that could impede the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategy. If the Fund cannot find a clearing member to transact with on the Fund’s behalf, the Fund may be unable to effectively implement its investment strategy.</p> </div><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Correlation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on their expiration date. As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically will increasingly move with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, the value of the FLEX Options may vary prior to the expiration date because of related factors other than the value of the Underlying ETF. The value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options include interest rate changes and implied volatility levels of the Underlying ETF, among others. The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund typically do not increase or decrease at the same level as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis due to these factors (although they generally move in the same direction).</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:10pt;margin-top:10pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Counterparty Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Counterparty risk is the risk an issuer, guarantor or counterparty of a security in the Fund is unable or unwilling to meet its obligation on the security. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition, market activities, or for other reasons. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited and/or delayed recovery. The OCC acts as guarantor and central counterparty with respect to the FLEX Options. As a result, the ability of the Fund to meet its objective depends on the OCC being able to meet its obligations. In the event an OCC clearing member that is a counterparty of the Fund were to become insolvent, the Fund may have some or all of its FLEX Options closed without its consent or may experience delays or other difficulties in attempting to close or exercise its affected FLEX Options positions, both of which would impair the Fund’s ability to deliver on its investment strategy. The OCC’s rules and procedures are designed to facilitate the prompt settlement of options transactions and exercises, including for clearing member insolvencies. However, there is the risk that the OCC and its backup system will fail if clearing member insolvencies are substantial or widespread. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:10pt;margin-top:10pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">FLEX Options Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC.

Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities, such as standardized options. In less liquid markets for the FLEX Options, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. In connection with the creation and redemption of Shares, to the extent market participants are not willing or able to enter into FLEX Option transactions with the Fund at prices that reflect the market price of the Shares, the Fund’s NAV and, in turn the share price of the Fund, could be negatively impacted.</p> </div><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless.

A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity. Such events could cause the Fund to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures and/or financial loss. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems through “hacking” or malicious software coding, but may also result from outside attacks such as denial<span class="nobreak">-of-service</span> attacks through efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users. In addition, cyber security breaches of the Fund’s third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers, such as its administrator, transfer agent, or custodian can also subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches. The Fund has established risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security. However, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because the Fund does not directly control the cyber security systems of issuers or third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Market Risk.    </span>The Fund could lose money over short periods due to short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns.

Factors such as inflation, changes in interest rates, changes in regulatory requirements, bank failures, political climate deterioration or developments, armed conflicts, natural disasters or future health crises, may negatively impact market conditions, and cause a decrease in the value of Shares. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy.

In addition, decisions by market makers or authorized participants to reduce their role or step away from these activities in times of market stress could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying values of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the Fund’s market price.

The market price of Shares generally corresponds to movements in the Fund’s NAV as well as the relative supply and demand for Shares on the Exchange. The market price may be at, above (a premium) or below (a discount) the Fund’s NAV. Differences in market prices of Shares and the NAV per Share may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. These differences can be especially pronounced during times of market volatility or stress. During these periods, the demand for Shares may decrease considerably and cause the market price of Shares to deviate, and in some cases deviate significantly, from the Fund’s NAV and the bid/ask spread on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Trading Issues Risk.    </span>Although Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained.

In order to be treated as a RIC, the Fund must meet certain income, diversification and distribution tests. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. The federal income tax treatment of certain aspects of the proposed operations of the Fund is not entirely clear, which could impact the Fund’s ability to qualify as a RIC. This includes the tax aspects of the Fund’s options strategy, its hedging strategy, the possible application of the “straddle” rules, and various loss limitation provisions of the Code. The Fund’s investments in offsetting positions with respect to the Underlying ETF may affect the character of gains or losses realized by the Fund under the Code’s “straddle” rules and may increase any short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> capital gains realized by the Fund. The Fund intends to treat any income it may derive from the FLEX Options as “qualifying income” under the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs. If the income is not qualifying income or the referenced asset is not appropriately treated as the issuer of the FLEX Options, the Fund could lose its own status as a RIC. To maintain its status as a RIC, the Fund must distribute, on an annual basis, at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for each taxable year. In addition, to avoid a non<span class="nobreak">-deductible</span> excise tax, the Fund must distribute on a calendar year basis 98% of its ordinary taxable income and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each taxable year (plus 100% of any undistributed amounts for prior years). Separately, depending upon the circumstances, sales of its portfolio investments (including FLEX Options) to fund redemptions could cause the Fund to recognize income that the Fund is required to distribute to maintain the Fund’s RIC status and avoid the excise tax. Funding such distributions could require additional sales, which could require more distributions and affect the projected performance of the Fund. Alternatively, if the Fund only makes distributions to maintain its RIC status and becomes subject to the excise tax, that could also affect the projected performance of the Fund. In either case, the assets sold to fund redemptions, distributions or pay the excise tax will not be available to assist the Fund in meeting its target outcome. With respect to the RIC diversification test, identifying the issuer can depend on the terms and conditions of a given investment. There is no published Internal Revenue Service guidance or only limited case law on how to determine the “issuer” of certain derivatives that the Fund will enter into. Based upon language in the legislative history, the Fund intends to treat the issuer of the FLEX Options as the referenced asset, which, assuming the referenced asset qualifies as a RIC, would allow the Fund to qualify for special rules in the RIC diversification requirements. The FLEX Options included in the portfolio are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options. Under Section 1256 of the Code, certain types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options are treated as if they were sold (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, “marked to market”) at the end of each year. The Fund does not believe that the positions held by the Fund will be subject to Section 1256, which means that the positions will not be marked to market. There is a risk that because the offsetting FLEX Options are being held by a single person that the IRS may take the position that the FLEX Options, viewed together, should be treated as a single instrument for federal tax purposes. The result of such a position would be that the Fund would fail the RIC diversification </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">tests causing the RIC to be taxed as an ordinary corporation, unless certain cure rights based upon reasonable cause may apply. The Fund has obtained an opinion of tax counsel that the FLEX Options should not be collapsed into a single instrument. However, such an opinion is not binding upon the IRS or the courts. In the event that a shareholder purchases Shares of the Fund before a distribution by the Fund, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Valuation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the valuation of the Fund’s FLEX Options will become more difficult.

The degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF may be higher than if the FLEX Options utilized by the Fund had a shorter term.

To the extent the Underlying ETF is considered to be concentrated (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund will concentrate to approximately the same extent. As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund has significant exposure to the information technology sector. The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). You could lose money by investing in the Fund.

Additionally, if an Investment Package held by the Fund does not increase in value above the Accelerated Threshold, the Investment Package will not provide the Fund, and therefore its investors, with positive returns. In the event an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into or does not stay invested in the Fund for the entirety of the duration of an Investment Package, an investor may not participate in some of the Fund’s sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Accelerated Return Rate. Further, because the Fund ladders its Investment Packages, the Fund’s returns are likely to be different than the returns the Fund would produce if a single Investment Package were used. The Accelerated Return Rate may only be realized if the Underlying ETF increases in value above the Accelerated Threshold at the conclusion of an Option Package’s one<span class="nobreak">-year</span> expiration term. If the Underlying ETF increases above the Accelerated Threshold during the one<span class="nobreak">-year</span> period but fails to remain above the Accelerated Threshold at the conclusion of such term, the Investment Package will not deliver, and therefore the Fund will not experience, in any positive returns with respect to that Investment Package. Because the positive returns with respect to an Option Package does not commence until the Accelerated Threshold is achieved, the Accelerated Return Rate that an investor may receive above the Accelerated Threshold with respect to an Investment Package may be less than an investment in a fund that does not have an Accelerated Threshold or Accelerated Return Rate. If an investor purchases Shares after the FLEX Options were entered into and the Fund has risen in value to a level above the Accelerated Threshold, such investor may experience more losses than the Underlying ETF experiences.</p><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund does not seek to provide investment outcomes on a daily or other short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> basis, which is an attribute of other types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> funds that provide a daily, multiple exposure to a reference index (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, a “daily leveraged ETF”). In contrast, the Fund only seeks to provide investment returns that will increase at a greater rate of change than the Underlying ETF, after an initial level of no participation. The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF’s share price. However, it is very unlikely that on any given day during which the Underlying ETF share price increases in value, the Fund’s share price will increase at the same rate as the Underlying ETF, since the sought<span class="nobreak">-after</span> Accelerated Return Rate is designed to be delivered on the expiration of each Investment Package.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">If the Underlying ETF’s share price increases in value above the Accelerated Threshold over the duration of the Option Package, the Fund seeks to provide for an increase in value at a higher rate than the share price increase experienced by the Underlying ETF. Likewise, there are situations during the Option Package in which the Fund may decrease in value at a higher rate than an associated decrease in the Underlying ETF. If an Investment Package has experienced any Accelerated Return Rate, the Investment Package may be subject to the possibility of losses that exceed the losses of the Underlying ETF for the remainder of its one<span class="nobreak">-year</span> term of the Investment Package.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Concentration Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund will concentrate in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries to the same extent as the Underlying ETF.

The Accelerated Return Rate provided by a particular Investment Package, and therefore the Fund, is dependent upon market conditions, such as volatility, at the time of execution of the Investment Package. Therefore, the Accelerated Return Rate provided will vary between specific Investment Packages. When a particular Investment Package is rolled, there is no guarantee that as favorable of market conditions will exist as originally executed and the Accelerated Return Rate provided by such Investment Package may change for the subsequent year, though such Accelerated Return Rate remains constant once the Investment Package is executed. Further, an Investment Package will underperform the returns of the Underlying ETF to the extent that the Accelerated Threshold is not exceeded. If an Investment Package has not increased to a level above the Accelerated Threshold at the end of its term, the Fund will not experience any increase in value with respect to such Investment Package, even if the share price of the Underlying ETF surpassed the Accelerated Threshold at a point during such term. Additionally, an Investment Package may underperform the price return of the Underlying ETF even if the Accelerated Threshold has been surpassed at the expiration of the Investment Package because the Fund will forgo any positive returns with respect to an Investment Package until the Accelerated Threshold is surpassed. In this regard, the price return of the Underlying ETF may need to materially exceed the Accelerated Threshold before an Investment Package recoups these foregone returns by virtue of the Accelerated Return Rate. An investors returns with respect to an Investment Package may therefore be less than the price return of the Underlying ETF even if the Accelerated Threshold is exceeded at the expiration of the Investment Package.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Derivatives Risk.    </span>To employ the Fund’s investment strategy, the Fund utilizes derivative instruments. The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include: (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: (i) changing supply and demand relationships; (ii) government programs and policies; (iii) national and international political and economic events; (iv) changes in interest rates; (v) inflation and deflation; and (vi) changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms, which can magnify potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on share price. The Fund has taken the necessary steps to comply with the requirements of Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span> under the 1940 Act (“<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Rule 18f</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">-4</span></span>”) in its usage of FLEX Options. The Fund has adopted and implements a derivatives risk management program that contains policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Fund’s derivatives risks, has appointed a derivatives risk manager who is responsible for administrating the derivatives risk management program, complies with outer limitations on risks relating to its derivatives transactions and carries out enhanced reporting to the Board, the SEC and the public regarding its derivatives activities. To the extent the Fund is noncompliant </p><div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">with Rule 18f<span class="nobreak">-4</span>, the Fund may be required to adjust its investment portfolio which may, in turn, negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. In addition to the foregoing, the Fund is subject to the following risks associated with its use of derivative instruments:</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Clearing Member Default Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Transactions in some types of derivatives, including FLEX Options, are required to be centrally cleared (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“cleared derivatives”</span>). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house, such as the OCC, rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">“clearing members”</span>) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. In cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to, and receive payments from, a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any option contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member’s individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with any clearing member as margin for its FLEX Options may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund’s clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance of their clients’ obligations to the clearing house, there is a risk that the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member’s bankruptcy. The Fund is also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on the Fund’s behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member’s default. If a clearing member defaults the Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction entered into by the Fund with the clearing member. The loss of a clearing member for the Fund to transact with could result in increased transaction costs and other operational issues that could impede the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategy. If the Fund cannot find a clearing member to transact with on the Fund’s behalf, the Fund may be unable to effectively implement its investment strategy.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Correlation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on their expiration date. As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically will increasingly move with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, the value of the FLEX Options may vary prior to the expiration date because of related factors other than the value of the Underlying ETF. The value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options include interest rate changes and implied volatility levels of the Underlying ETF, among others. The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund typically do not increase or decrease at the same level as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis due to these factors (although they generally move in the same direction). Since the FLEX Options held by the Fund do not expire until one year after the commencement of the Outcome Period, it is possible that the degree of non<span class="nobreak">-correlation</span> between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF will be higher versus FLEX Options with shorter terms.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Counterparty Risk.    </span>Counterparty risk is the risk an issuer, guarantor or counterparty of a security in the Fund is unable or unwilling to meet its obligation on the security.

The OCC acts as guarantor and central counterparty with respect to the FLEX Options. As a result, the ability of the Fund to meet its objective depends on the OCC being able to meet its obligations. In the event an OCC clearing member that is a counterparty of the Fund were to become insolvent, the Fund may have some or all of its FLEX Options closed without its consent or may experience delays or other difficulties in attempting to close or exercise its affected FLEX Options positions, both of which would impair the Fund’s ability to deliver on its investment strategy. The OCC’s rules and procedures are designed to facilitate the prompt settlement of options transactions and exercises, including for clearing member insolvencies. However, there is the risk that the OCC and its backup system will fail if clearing member insolvencies are substantial or widespread. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">FLEX Options Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC. The use of option contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of option contracts are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, changes in interest or currency exchange rates, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events. There may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in values option contracts and the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for certain option contracts.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund bears the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities, such as standardized options. In less liquid markets for the FLEX Options, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. In connection with the creation and redemption of Shares, to the extent market participants are not willing or able to enter into FLEX Option transactions with the Fund at prices that reflect the market price of the Shares, the Fund’s NAV and, in turn the share price of the Fund, could be negatively impacted.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;">The Fund may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless. The FLEX Options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike price on their expiration date. As a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically increasingly moves with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, prior to such date, the value of the FLEX Options does not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day<span class="nobreak">-to-day</span> basis (although they generally move in the same direction). The value of the FLEX Options held by the Fund will be determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. The value of the underlying FLEX Options will be affected by, among others, changes in the Underlying ETF’s share price, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual and implied volatility of the Underlying ETF and the remaining time to until the FLEX Options expire.</p> </div><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Liquidity Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>In the event that trading in the underlying FLEX Options is limited or absent, the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options may decrease. There is no guarantee that a liquid secondary trading market will exist for the FLEX Options. The trading in FLEX Options may be less deep and liquid than the market for certain other securities, including certain non<span class="nobreak">-customized</span> option contracts. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, terminating the FLEX Options may require the payment of a premium or acceptance of a discounted price and may take longer to complete. Additionally, the liquidation of a large number of FLEX Options may more significantly impact the price in a less liquid market. Further, the Fund requires a sufficient number of participants to facilitate the purchase and sale of options on an exchange to provide liquidity to the Fund for its FLEX Option positions. A less liquid trading market may adversely impact the value of the FLEX Options and the value of your investment.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Underlying ETF Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund’s investment performance largely depends on the investment performance and associated risks of the Underlying ETF. The Underlying ETF is subject to many of the same structural risks as the Fund that are described in more detail herein (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">see </span>“Risks Associated with ETFs” below). The Adviser expects to waive a portion of its management fee in an amount that equals to any acquired fund fees and expenses the Fund incurs as a result of any direct investment in the Underlying ETF. However, if the Adviser does not waive such expenses in the future, the Fund will bear its proportionate share of the Underlying ETF’s expenses, subjecting Fund shareholders to such expenses. Further, the risks of investing in an ETF also include the risks associated with the underlying investments held by the ETF. As such, the Fund may be subject to the following risks as a result of its exposure to the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof):</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Equity Securities Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Equity securities may decline in value because of declines in the price of a particular holding or the broad stock market.

Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Information technology companies are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Large Capitalization Companies Risk.    </span>Large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate and be less able to adapt to changing market conditions than smaller capitalization companies.

A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity. Such events could cause the Fund to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures and/or financial loss. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems through “hacking” or malicious software coding but may also result from outside attacks such as denial<span class="nobreak">-of-service</span> attacks through efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users. In addition, cyber security breaches of the Fund’s third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers, such as its administrator, transfer agent, or custodian, can also subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches. The Fund has established risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security. However, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because the Fund does not directly control the cyber security systems of issuers or third<span class="nobreak">-party</span> service providers.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Market Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>The Fund could lose money over short periods due to short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. Assets may decline in value due to factors affecting financial markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of FLEX Options or other assets may also decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or due to factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates will not have the same impact on all types of securities. Securities, including the Shares, are subject to market fluctuations and liquidity constraints that may be caused by such factors as economic, political, or regulatory developments, changes in interest rates, and/or perceived trends in securities prices. Shares could decline in value or underperform other investments. The value of Shares may also decline as a result of market conditions. Factors such as inflation, changes in interest rates, changes in regulatory requirements, bank failures, political climate deterioration or developments, armed conflicts, natural disasters or future health crises, may negatively impact market conditions, and cause a decrease in the value of Shares. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy. These events, and any other future events, may adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Non</span><span class="nobreak"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">-Diversification</span></span><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;"> Risk.    </span>The Fund is classified as a “non<span class="nobreak">-diversified</span> company” under the 1940 Act.

As a result, an investment in the Fund may be less tax<span class="nobreak">-efficient</span> than an investment in an ETF that effectuates its Creation Units only on an in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> basis. ETFs are able to make in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span> redemptions to avoid being taxed on gains on the distributed portfolio securities at the fund level. A fund that effects redemptions for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds and may be forced to recognize gains. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effectuated in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with special tax rules that apply to it. This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise be subject to, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in<span class="nobreak">-kind</span>, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees.

The market price may be at, above (a premium) or below (a discount) the Fund’s NAV. Differences in market prices of Shares and the NAV per Share may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. These differences can be especially pronounced during times of market volatility or stress. During these periods, the demand for Shares may decrease considerably and cause the market price of Shares to deviate, and in some cases deviate significantly, from the Fund’s NAV and the bid/ask spread on Shares may widen.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-left:24pt;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">Trading Issues Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>Although Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained.

The Fund’s investments in offsetting positions with respect to the Underlying ETF may affect the character of gains or losses realized by the Fund under the Code’s “straddle” rules and may increase any short<span class="nobreak">-term</span> </p><p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;">capital gains realized by the Fund. The Fund intends to treat any income it may derive from the FLEX Options as “qualifying income” under the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs. If the income is not qualifying income or the referenced asset is not appropriately treated as the issuer of the FLEX Options, the Fund could lose its own status as a RIC. To maintain its status as a RIC, the Fund must distribute, on an annual basis, at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for each taxable year. In addition, to avoid a non<span class="nobreak">-deductible</span> excise tax, the Fund must distribute on a calendar year basis 98% of its ordinary taxable income and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each taxable year (plus 100% of any undistributed amounts for prior years). Separately, depending upon the circumstances, sales of its portfolio investments (including FLEX Options) to fund redemptions could cause the Fund to recognize income that the Fund is required to distribute to maintain the Fund’s RIC status and avoid the excise tax. Funding such distributions could require additional sales, which could require more distributions and affect the projected performance of the Fund. Alternatively, if the Fund only makes distributions to maintain its RIC status and becomes subject to the excise tax, that could also affect the projected performance of the Fund. In either case, the assets sold to fund redemptions, distributions or pay the excise tax will not be available to assist the Fund in meeting its target outcome. With respect to the RIC diversification test, identifying the issuer can depend on the terms and conditions of a given investment. There is no published Internal Revenue Service guidance or only limited case law on how to determine the “issuer” of certain derivatives that the Fund will enter into. Based upon language in the legislative history, the Fund intends to treat the issuer of the FLEX Options as the referenced asset, which, assuming the referenced asset qualifies as a RIC, would allow the Fund to qualify for special rules in the RIC diversification requirements. The FLEX Options included in the portfolio are exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options. Under Section 1256 of the Code, certain types of exchange<span class="nobreak">-traded</span> options are treated as if they were sold (<span class="Italic" style="font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;">i.e.</span>, “marked to market”) at the end of each year. The Fund does not believe that the positions held by the Fund will be subject to Section 1256, which means that the positions will not be marked to market. There is a risk that because the offsetting FLEX Options are being held by a single person that the IRS may take the position that the FLEX Options, viewed together, should be treated as a single instrument for federal tax purposes. The result of such a position would be that the Fund would fail the RIC diversification tests causing the RIC to be taxed as an ordinary corporation, unless certain cure rights based upon reasonable cause may apply. The Fund has obtained an opinion of tax counsel that the FLEX Options should not be collapsed into a single instrument. However, such an opinion is not binding upon the IRS or the courts. In the event that a shareholder purchases Shares of the Fund before a distribution by the Fund, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.</p> <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:12pt;"><span class="Bold" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;">Valuation Risk.<span style="width: 16px;display: inline-block;">    </span></span>During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the valuation of the Fund’s FLEX Options will become more difficult.
