**(800) 462-2392**

[•], 2026

Dear Shareholder:

We have important information concerning your investment in the RMB Small Cap Fund (the "Target Fund"), a series of RMB Investors Trust (the "Trust"). As a shareholder of the Target Fund, we wish to inform you that the Board of Trustees of the Trust has approved the reorganization of the Target Fund into the RMB SMID Cap Fund (the "Acquiring Fund", and together with the Target Fund, the "Funds"), another series of the Trust (the "Reorganization").

The Reorganization has the potential to benefit shareholders of both Funds through increased efficiencies leading to lower Fund operating expenses borne by shareholders.

Following the Reorganization, the same adviser, Curi Capital, LLC ("Curi" or the "Adviser"), and the same portfolio managers, Christopher C. Faber and Jeff Jones, CFA, will manage the Acquiring Fund as managed the Target Fund. The Funds have an identical investment objective, which is to seek capital appreciation, and substantially similar principal investment strategies. The principal difference in investment strategies is target market capitalization of the Funds' portfolio companies. For each Fund, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) are invested in equity instruments of U.S. companies with market capitalization of (i) in the case of the Target Fund, less than or equal to that of the largest company in the Russell 2000® (approximately $25.7 billion as of March 31, 2025), and (ii) in the case of the Acquiring Fund, between $500 million and $40.02 billion at purchase. The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are subject to similar principal risks because the Funds have substantially similar principal investment strategies.

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the Target Fund will transfer all of its assets and liabilities to the Acquiring Fund. As a result of the Reorganization, you will receive shares of the Acquiring Fund that will have a total value equal to the total value of your shares in the Target Fund as of the close of business on the closing date of the Reorganization. Following the Reorganization, the Target Fund will cease operations and liquidate. The Reorganization is expected to be completed on April 24, 2026.

The following table shows the share classes of the Acquiring Fund that will be issued to each corresponding share class of the Target Fund.

Shareholder approval is not required to effect the Reorganization. We have enclosed a Prospectus/Information Statement that describes the Reorganization proposal in greater detail, as well as important information about the Acquiring Fund.

**QUESTIONS & ANSWERS**

We recommend that you read the enclosed Prospectus/Information Statement. In addition to the detailed information in the Prospectus/Information Statement, the following questions and answers provide an overview of key features of the Reorganization.

**Q.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What is the purpose of the Reorganization?**

**A.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The purpose of the Reorganization is to provide shareholders the potential to experience economies of scale and increased efficiencies leading to lower Fund operating expenses borne by shareholders. Further, the Reorganization has the potential to benefit shareholders of the Target Fund by providing a substantially similar investment strategy managed by the same investment adviser and portfolio managers, that invests under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies with small- to mid- market capitalizations.

**Q.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why are we sending you the Prospectus/Information Statement?**

**A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**On December 12, 2025, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board") approved the Reorganization of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund. The Reorganization does not require approval by shareholders. The enclosed Prospectus/Information Statement provides important information regarding the Reorganization and the Acquiring Fund that you should consider carefully.

**Q.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What will happen to my existing shares?**

**A.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Immediately after the Reorganization, you will own shares of the Acquiring Fund that are equal in total value to the shares of the Target Fund that you hold, in each case determined as of the close of business on the date of the Reorganization (although the number of shares and the net asset value per share may be different).

**Q.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How do the fees and expenses of the Funds compare?**

**A.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the total annual operating expenses of each share class of the Acquiring Fund were lower than the total annual operating expenses of the same share class of the Target Fund. The advisory fee for Class I and Investor Class shares of the Acquiring Fund is 0.70% of average daily net assets compared to 0.85% of average daily net assets for the Target Fund. Taking into account the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement for each Fund, Class I shares of the Target Fund have a net operating expense ratio of 0.95%, while Class I shares of the Acquiring Fund have a net operating expense ratio 0.80%. Class I shares of each Fund are not subject to Rule 12b-1 fees or sales charges. Investor Class shares are not currently offered for purchase. However, taking into account the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement for each Fund, Investor Class shares of the Target Fund have a net operating expense ratio of 1.20%, while Investor Class shares of the Acquiring Fund have a net operating expense ratio of 1.05%. Investor Class shares of each Fund are subject to Rule 12b-1 fees of 0.25%. Additional information on the Target Fund's advisory fee is described in the section of the enclosed Prospectus/Information Statement entitled "The Funds' Management."

It is expected that, following the Reorganization, the expenses borne by Target Fund shareholders as shareholders of the Acquiring Fund will be lower than the expenses they currently bear. It is also expected that, following the Reorganization, the expenses borne by Acquiring Fund shareholders as

------

shareholders of the combined Acquiring Fund will generally be at least equal to and potentially lower than the expenses they currently bear.

The section of the enclosed Prospectus/Information Statement entitled "Summary—How do the Funds' fees and expenses compare?" of the enclosed Prospectus/Information Statement contains additional information on each Fund's fees and expenses.

**Q.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How do the Funds' investment objectives and principal investment strategies compare?**

**A.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Funds have an identical investment objective, which is to seek capital appreciation. The Funds have substantially similar principal investment strategies. The Target Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity instruments of U.S. companies with market capitalization less than or equal to that of the largest company in the Russell 2000® (approximately $25.7 billion as of March 31, 2025), while the Acquiring Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity instruments of U.S. companies with market capitalization between $500 million and $40.02 billion at purchase. Additional information is provided in the section of the enclosed Prospectus/Information Statement entitled "Summary—How do the Funds' investment objective and principal investment strategies compare?"

**Q.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How are the Funds managed?**

**A.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Both Funds are managed by the same adviser, Curi Capital, LLC ("Curi" or the "Adviser") and the same portfolio managers, Christopher C. Faber and Jeff Jones, CFA. The Acquiring Fund will continue to be managed in this way following the Reorganization. For more information, please see the sections of the enclosed Prospectus/Information Statement entitled "Summary—Who will be the Adviser and Portfolio Managers of my Fund after the Reorganization?" and "The Funds' Management."

**Q.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Will I have to pay federal income taxes as a result of the Reorganization?**

**A.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You are not expected to recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes on the exchange of your shares of the Target Fund for shares of the Acquiring Fund. The Reorganization is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. Prior to the closing of the Reorganization, however, the Target Fund expects to distribute all of its net investment income and net capital gains, if any, which may include capital gains arising from repositioning of the portfolio in advance of the Reorganization. Such a distribution may be taxable to shareholders of the Target Fund for federal income tax purposes. The sections of the enclosed Prospectus/Information Statement entitled "Information About the Reorganization—Material Federal Income Tax Consequences" and "Federal Income Tax Considerations And Distributions" provide additional information regarding the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization.

**Q.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Will I have to pay any sales load, commission, or other similar fee in connection with the Reorganization?**

**A.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No, you will not pay any sales load, commission, or other similar fee in connection with the shares of the Acquiring Fund you will receive in the Reorganization.

------

**Q.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Who will pay the costs of the Reorganization?**

**A.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Target Fund will pay the expenses incurred in connection with the Reorganization ("Reorganization Expenses") insofar as the Target Fund's projected cost savings during the first year following the Reorganization exceed such Reorganization Expenses. The Reorganization Expenses are estimated to be approximately $75,000 in total and the projected cost savings are estimated to be approximately $200,000. The Adviser will pay the Reorganization Expenses to the extent the Reorganization Expenses exceed the Target Fund's projected cost savings during the first year following the Reorganization. If the Reorganization is not completed, the Adviser will bear full responsibility for payment of the Reorganization Expenses. Please see the section of the enclosed Prospectus/Information Statement entitled "Information About the Reorganization—Costs of the Reorganization" for additional information.

**Q.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What if I redeem my shares before the Reorganization takes place?**

**A.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you choose to redeem your Target Fund shares before the Reorganization takes place, then the redemption will be treated as a normal sale of shares and, generally, will be a taxable transaction.

**Q.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why is no shareholder action necessary?**

**A.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as amended and restated, provides that any series may be reorganized into another series by a vote of a majority of the trustees of the Trust without the approval of shareholders. In addition, the Board determined that the Reorganization of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund satisfies the requisite conditions of Rule 17a-8(a)(3) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), such that the Reorganization does not require shareholder approval because (i) no policy of the Target Fund that may not be changed without a vote of a majority of the Fund's shareholders, is materially different from a policy of the Acquiring Fund, (ii) no advisory contract between the Acquiring Fund and the Adviser is materially different from the advisory contract between the Target Fund and the Adviser, (iii) the trustees of the Board of the Target Fund who are not "interested persons," as such term is defined in the 1940 Act (the "Independent Trustees"), and who were elected by the Target Fund's shareholders will comprise a majority of the Board of the Acquiring Fund, and (iv) the distribution fees paid by the Acquiring Fund pursuant to the plan adopted by the Board in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act are no greater than the distribution fees authorized to be paid by the Target Fund pursuant to such plan. In addition, the Board determined that the Reorganization was in the best interests of each Fund and that the interests of existing shareholders of each Fund would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.

**Q.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When will the Reorganization occur?**

**A.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Reorganization is expected to be completed after the close of business on April 24, 2026.

**Q.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Who should I contact for more information?**

**A.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You can contact (800) 462-2392 for more information.

This Prospectus/Information Statement is being furnished to shareholders of the RMB Small Cap Fund (the "Target Fund"), a series of RMB Investors Trust (the "Trust"), in connection with an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") among the Target Fund and the RMB SMID Cap Fund (the "Acquiring Fund"), a series of the Trust, providing for (i) the transfer of all the assets of the Target Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for Class I shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the Target Fund; and (ii) the pro rata distribution by class of the Acquiring Fund's shares to shareholders of the Target Fund in complete liquidation and termination of the Target Fund (the "Reorganization").

The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board") has approved the proposed Reorganization. In the Reorganization, you will receive shares of the Acquiring Fund in an amount equal in value to the shares of the Target Fund that you hold, in each case determined as of the close of business on the date of the Reorganization (although the number of shares and the net asset value per share may be different). The Reorganization is expected to be completed after the close of business on April 24, 2026.

Each of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund is a series of the Trust, which is a registered open-end investment company (mutual fund).

**SUMMARY**

This section summarizes the primary features of the Reorganization. It may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To understand the Reorganization, you should read this entire Prospectus/Information Statement and the exhibits. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the additional information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus/Information Statement, the SAI, and the Plan, a form of which is attached to this Prospectus/Information Statement as <u>Exhibit A</u>.

***What are the Reasons for the Reorganization?***

The Reorganization has the potential to benefit shareholders of both the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund through increased efficiencies leading to lower Fund operating expenses borne by shareholders. Further, the Reorganization has the potential to benefit shareholders of the Target Fund by providing a substantially similar investment strategy managed by the same investment adviser and portfolio managers, that invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies with small- to mid- market capitalizations. At a meeting on December 12, 2025, the Board, composed entirely of trustees who are not "interested persons," as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (the "Independent Trustees"), determined that the Reorganization was in the best interests of the Funds and that the interests of existing shareholders of the Funds would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The Board approved the Reorganization. In approving the Reorganization, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the investment objective, principal investment strategies and portfolio managers of the Funds; the historical investment performance record of the Funds; the advice and recommendation of Curi Capital, LLC, including its opinion that the Reorganization would be in the best interests of the Funds and that the combined Fund would have a greater opportunity to achieve increased efficiencies leading to lower Fund operating expenses borne by shareholders than either Fund operating individually; and the investment advisory fee and other fees paid by the Funds, the expense ratios of the Funds and the contractual limitations on the Funds' expenses.

For more information, please see the section entitled "Information About the Reorganization—Reasons for the Reorganization."

***What are the key features of the Reorganization?***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Plan sets forth the key features of the Reorganization, comprised of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the transfer of all the assets of the Target Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for Class I shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the Target Fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the pro rata distribution by class of the Acquiring Fund's shares to the Target Fund shareholders in complete liquidation and termination of the Target Fund; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the receipt of an opinion of counsel that the Reorganization qualifies as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes.

The Reorganization is expected to be completed after the close of business on April 24, 2026.

------

***After the Reorganization, what shares will I own?***

In the Reorganization, you will receive the same class of shares in the Acquiring Fund as you currently own in the Target Fund, either Investor Class or Class I. The Acquiring Fund shares you receive will have the same total value as your shares of the Target Fund, in each case measured as of the close of business on the date of the Reorganization.

***How do the Funds' fees and expenses compare?***

**Comparative Fee Tables**. The following tables show the various fees and expenses that you may pay for buying and holding shares of each Fund. Pro forma expenses project anticipated expenses of the Acquiring Fund assuming the Reorganization takes place. Actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown. Shareholders of the Target Fund will not pay any sales load, commission, or other similar fee in connection with the Acquiring Fund shares received in the Reorganization. Expense ratios reflect annual fund operating expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 for the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund. Pro forma numbers are estimated as if the Reorganization had been completed as of the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and do not include the estimated costs of the Reorganization, which will be borne by the Target Fund to the extent the Target Fund's projected cost savings during the first year following the Reorganization exceed such Reorganization Expenses.

1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Investor Class shares of the Funds are not currently offered for purchase. As a result, "Other Expenses" for Investor Class shares have been estimated.

2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its compensation due from and/or assume expenses of the Target Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the Target Fund's operating expenses (excluding, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business) do not exceed 1.20% of the average net assets of the Target Fund's Investor Class (the "Target Fund Expense Cap"). The Target Fund Expense Cap is in effect through April 30, 2026 and cannot be terminated prior thereto without the approval of the Target Fund's Board of Trustees. To the extent the Adviser waives its compensation and/or assumes expenses to satisfy the Target Fund Expense Cap, the Adviser may seek repayment by the Target Fund of a portion or all of such amounts at any time within three years from the date on which such amounts were waived or assumed, provided that the Target Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding the lesser of the expense cap in effect at the time of the waiver/reimbursement or in effect at the time of the repayment.

The Acquiring Fund Expense Cap is in effect through April 30, 2026 and cannot be terminated prior thereto without the approval of the Acquiring Fund's Board of Trustees. To the extent the Adviser waives its compensation and/or assumes expenses to satisfy the Acquiring Fund Expense Cap, the Adviser may seek repayment by the Acquiring Fund of a portion or all of such amounts at any time within three years from the date on which such amounts

*Expense Example*. The example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in each Fund and the Acquiring Fund (pro forma), assuming the Reorganization takes place. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 for the time periods indicated and redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the operating expenses remain as shown above. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

**The information presented above is for informational purposes as of a specific point in time in the past. Actual financial information will depend on market conditions at the time of the Reorganization and may vary significantly from the information shown, particularly in light of uncertainties regarding the current health crisis resulting from the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 and the economic and financial repercussions of such crisis.**

**Portfolio Turnover**. Each Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Funds' performance. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Target Fund's and the Acquiring Fund's portfolio turnover rates were 9% and 12%, respectively, of the average value of their portfolios.

***How do the Funds' performance records compare?***

The bar charts and performance tables below illustrate some indication of the risks and volatility of an investment in each Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance from calendar year to calendar year and by showing how each Fund's average annual total returns for 1-, 5- and 10-year periods compared with its respective benchmark index representing a broad measure of market performance. Each Fund's performance figures assume that all distributions were reinvested in the Fund. The Funds' past performance (before and after taxes) does not indicate how the Funds will perform in the future. Updated performance information may be obtained on the Fund's website at www.rmbfunds.com or by calling 1-800-462-2392.

The Fund commenced operations upon completion of the reorganization of the IronBridge Small Cap Fund (the "IronBridge Predecessor Fund"), a series of IronBridge Funds, Inc., into the Fund, which occurred on June 21, 2019 (the "IronBridge Reorganization"). As a result of the IronBridge Reorganization, the performance and accounting history of the IronBridge Predecessor Fund were assumed by the Fund's Class I shares. Prior to June 21, 2019, the Fund's Class I performance shown is that of the IronBridge Predecessor Fund.

<sup>1</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The returns of this additional index provide an additional comparison for the Fund's performance against that of an index that more closely reflects the market segment in which the Fund invests.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-advantaged arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or IRAs. No returns are provided for Investor Class shares, which have not been offered for sale.

------

***Will I be able to purchase, redeem, and exchange shares the same way?***

Yes, after the Reorganization you will be able to purchase, redeem, and exchange shares of the Acquiring Fund the same way that you purchase, redeem, and exchange shares of the Target Fund. For more information, see the sections entitled "Choosing a Share Class—Buying and Selling Fund Shares" and "Choosing a Share Class—Exchange Privileges of the Funds."

***Will I be able to receive distributions the same way?***

Like the Target Fund, the Acquiring Fund intends to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its dividends from net investment income and capital gains annually.

After the Reorganization, any dividends from net income and capital gains paid by the Acquiring Fund to which a former Target Fund shareholder is entitled will be reinvested in the class of shares of the Acquiring Fund the former Target Fund shareholder received in the Reorganization or, if the shareholder so elected, distributed in cash. If you invest in a Fund through a tax-advantaged account, such as an IRA, you will not be subject to tax on dividends and distributions from the Fund or the sale of the Fund shares, if those amounts remain in the tax-advantaged account and the Fund shares were not financed with borrowings. However, withdrawals from a tax-advantaged account may be subject to taxes. For more information, see the section entitled "Distribution and Shareholder Services Fees—Distribution Policy."

***Who will be the Adviser and Portfolio Manager of my Fund after the Reorganization?***

Each Fund is advised by Curi Capital, LLC ("Curi" or the "Adviser").

Christopher C. Faber and Jeff Jones, CFA, are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund's portfolio. Mr. Faber is a Senior Vice President and Portfolio Manager of the Adviser and has served as a portfolio manager of each Fund since inception of its respective predecessor fund in August 2002. Mr. Jones is a Partner and Portfolio Manager of the Adviser and has served as a portfolio manager of each Fund since May 2025.

For additional information regarding Curi and the portfolio managers, please see the section entitled "The Funds' Management."

After the Reorganization, Curi will continue to serve as investment adviser to the Acquiring Fund and both Christopher C. Faber and Jeff Jones, CFA will continue to serve as the Acquiring Fund's portfolio managers.

***What will be the primary federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization?***

The Reorganization is expected to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. If the Reorganization so qualifies, then generally no gain or loss will be recognized for federal income tax purposes by the Funds or their respective shareholders as a direct result of the Reorganization. As a condition to the closing of the Reorganization, the Funds will receive an opinion from the law firm of Perkins Coie LLP that the Reorganization qualifies as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The opinion, however, is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or any court and thus does not preclude the IRS or a court from taking a contrary position. See "Information About the Reorganization—Material Federal Income Tax Consequences" for more information on the material federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization.

------

***Will there be any repositioning costs?***

While there is a high degree of overlap between the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, prior to the Reorganization, the Target Fund may trim certain of its holdings in anticipation of the Reorganization. While any such repositioning is expected to be limited, there may be minimal to modest transaction costs associated with these activities. Such transaction costs will be allocated to the Target Fund, to the extent such costs, together with other expenses connected to the Reorganization, do not exceed expected reductions in expenses to shareholders of the Target Fund.

***How do the Funds' investment objectives, principal investment strategies and principal risks compare?***

*Investment Objectives.* The Funds have an identical investment objective, which is to seek capital appreciation.

*Principal Investment Strategies.* The Funds have substantially similar principal investment strategies. The Target Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity instruments of U.S. companies with market capitalization less than or equal to that of the largest company in the Russell 2000® (approximately $15.2 billion as of March 31, 2025), while the Acquiring Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity instruments of U.S. companies with market capitalization between $500 million and $40.02 billion at purchase. The Adviser actively manages both Funds by applying an economic return framework that seeks to identify attractively-priced companies at all stages of the corporate lifecycle that allocate capital in a way that creates long-term value.

The key difference between the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund is that the Target Fund may solely invest small market capitalization U.S. companies, while the Acquiring Fund may invest in both small and medium capitalization U.S. companies.

*Principal Risks.* The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are subject to similar principal risks because the Funds have substantially similar principal investment strategies. Principal risks of the Target Fund are: ESG Risk, Equity Securities Risk, Growth Investing Risk, Management Risk, Market Risk, REIT Risk, Small-Cap Companies Risk, and Value Investing Risk. The Acquiring Fund is also subject to the same principal risks, with the exception of Small-Cap Companies Risk. The Acquiring Fund is also subject to Large Shareholder Risk and Small-/Mid-Cap Companies Risk. To learn more, see the section below entitled "Principal Risks."

*Comparison of Principal Investment Strategies.* The following table shows key aspects of the Funds' principal investment strategies. To learn more, see the section below entitled "Additional Information About the Funds' Investment Strategies."

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Target Fund** | **Acquiring Fund** | **Differences** |
| **80% Investment Policy** | The Target Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S. companies with market capitalizations less than or equal to the largest company in the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup>, which, as of March 31, 2025, was approximately $15.2 billion. | &nbsp;&nbsp;The Acquiring Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S. companies with market capitalizations between $500 million and $40.02 billion at purchase. | For purposes of the 80% investment policy, the Target Fund is limited to investments in U.S. companies with market capitalizations less than or equal to the largest company in the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> while the Acquiring Fund may invest in U.S. companies with market capitalizations between $500 million and $40.02 billion at purchase. |
| **Investment Policies** | The Target Fund's portfolio blends growth and value and is diversified across sectors and lifecycle stages, typically holding about 40–80 stocks with sector awareness relative to the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup>. | The Acquiring Fund portfolio blends growth and value and is diversified across sectors and lifecycle stages, typically holding about 40–80 stocks, with sector awareness relative to the Russell 2500<sup>®</sup>. | While both Funds' portfolios blend growth and value and are diversified across sectors and lifecycle stages, typically holding about 40–80 stocks each, the Target Fund sector awareness is relative to the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> and the Acquiring Fund sector awareness is relative to the Russell 2500<sup>®</sup>. |
| **Risks and Restrictions** | The Target Fund's main risks include broad market, equity securities, and management risk from active selection. It has dedicated small-cap exposure, with higher volatility and liquidity challenges. Style risks include growth (sensitive to missed expectations and cycles) and value (potential for prolonged undervaluation). ESG factors are considered, introducing ESG risk from data quality and exposure differences. Investments in REITs add real estate and interest rate risk. At least 80% of assets are normally in U.S. small-cap equities (≤ Russell 2000<sup>®</sup>'s largest cap at purchase), with positions held if they drift outside this range. <br>As stated earlier, the portfolio, primarily U.S. common stocks and REITs, typically holds 40–80 positions, trims or sells when targets are met or positions exceed ~5% of assets, and is diversified by sector and lifecycle. Up to 15% may be in illiquid investments, and the fund can temporarily hold up to 100% in high-quality short-term instruments and cash. | The Acquiring Fund's main risks include market, equity securities, management, growth and value style, ESG, and REIT risks. It also covers small- and mid-cap exposure, with higher volatility and liquidity constraints, and uniquely discloses large shareholder risk, noting that significant inflows/outflows may impact trading, costs, or taxes. At least 80% of assets are normally invested in U.S. equities with market caps between $500 million and $40.02 billion at purchase, with positions held if they drift outside this range. <br>As stated earlier, the portfolio, primarily U.S. common stocks and REITs, typically holds 40–80 positions, trims or sells when targets are met or positions exceed ~5% of assets, and is diversified by sector and lifecycle stage, with sector awareness relative to the Russell 2500<sup>®</sup>. ESG factors are integrated into analysis, up to 15% may be in illiquid investments, and the fund can temporarily hold up to 100% in high-quality short-term instruments and cash. | &nbsp;&nbsp;Substantially similar. |

**PRINCIPAL RISKS**

Each Fund's share price will fluctuate. The risks described below should be considered by shareholders of the Target Fund in their evaluation of the Reorganization. Investments in the Funds are not bank guaranteed, are not deposits, and are not insured by the FDIC or any other federal government agency. As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that each Fund will achieve its investment objective. Each Fund's share price fluctuates, which means you could lose money by investing in the Fund. Each Fund is not a complete investment program and should be considered only as part of an investment portfolio.

The following table compares the principal investment risks of the Funds.

**ESG Risk.** Incorporation of ESG factors into a Fund's investment process may cause the Fund to make different investments, and result in different exposures to various issuers, than funds that do not incorporate such considerations into their strategy or investment processes. The Adviser's ESG considerations may also result in a greater emphasis on long-term performance, which may result in the Fund forgoing shorter-term opportunities to buy certain securities when it might otherwise be advantageous to do so, or selling securities for ESG-related reasons when it might not otherwise be advantageous to do so. This may affect the Fund's performance depending on whether certain investments are in or out of favor, and the Fund's investment performance could be different compared to funds that do not incorporate ESG considerations.

There are significant differences in interpretations of what it means for a company to meet ESG criteria. The Adviser's assessment of a company may differ from that of other funds advised by different advisers, and the Adviser's assessment of a company's ESG factors could change over time. As a result, stocks selected by the Adviser may not reflect the beliefs and values of any particular investor. When evaluating an issuer, the Adviser is dependent on information or data obtained through voluntary or third-party reporting that may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unavailable, which could cause the Adviser to incorrectly assess an issuer's ESG practices. Because ESG factor analysis is used as one part of the Adviser's overall investment process, a Fund may still invest in securities of issuers that many or all market participants view as having an unfavorable ESG profile.

**Equity Securities Risk.** The market prices of common stocks and other equity securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. The values of equity securities may decline due to general market conditions that are not necessarily related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. They also may decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. In addition, the values of equity securities may decline for a number of reasons that may relate directly to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage, non-compliance with regulatory requirements, and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than bonds and other debt securities, although under certain market conditions various debt investments may have comparable or greater price volatility. The values of equity securities paying dividends at high rates may be more sensitive to change in interest rates than are other equity securities.

**Growth Investing Risk.** Growth stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform other asset types during given periods. A company may never achieve the earnings growth the team anticipated. Investors often expect growth companies to increase their earnings at a certain rate. Failures by such companies to meet these expectations may result in sharp declines in the prices of these stocks, even if earnings do

------

increase. In addition, growth stocks typically lack the dividend yield that can cushion stock prices in market downturns. This may result in a decline in the value of the Funds' investments.

**Large Shareholder Risk.** From time to time, shareholders of the Acquiring Fund may make relatively large redemptions or purchases of Acquiring Fund shares. These transactions may cause the Acquiring Fund to sell securities or invest additional cash, as the case may be, at disadvantageous prices. Redemptions of a large number of shares also may increase transaction and other costs or have adverse tax consequences for shareholders of the Acquiring Fund by requiring a sale of portfolio securities. Purchases of a large number of shares may adversely affect the Acquiring Fund's performance to the extent that it takes time to invest new cash and the Acquiring Fund maintains a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

**Management Risk.** The Funds are subject to management risk because they are actively managed investment portfolios. The Adviser will apply its investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Funds, but there is no guarantee that its decisions will produce the intended result. Each Fund's management strategy or security selection methods could prove less successful than anticipated or unsuccessful. This risk is common for all actively managed funds.

**Market Risk.** The market price of a security or instrument may decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political or environmental conditions throughout the world or a particular region, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. Adverse environmental conditions include natural and man-made disasters and pandemics. The market value of a security or instrument also may decline because of factors that affect a particular sector, sub-sector, or group of industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry.

**Portfolio Turnover Risk.** Active and frequent trading of the Target Fund's securities may lead to higher transaction costs and may result in a greater number of taxable transactions, which could negatively affect the Target Fund's performance. A high rate of portfolio turnover is 100% or more.

**REIT Risk.** Investments in real estate related securities are subject to the risk that the value of the real estate underlying the securities will decline. Many factors may affect the value of real estate underlying real estate related securities, such as, but not limited to, national, regional and local economies in which the real estate is located, amounts of new construction, consumer demand, laws and regulations (including zoning and tax laws), availability of mortgages and changes in interest rates, and the economy and consumer perception in general.

Investments in REITs involve unique risks. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, and may be more volatile than other securities. In addition, to the extent a Fund holds interests in REITs, investors in the Fund bear two layers of asset-based management fees and expenses (directly at the Fund level and indirectly at the REIT level). The risks of investing in REITs include certain risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate and the real estate industry in general. These include risks related to general, regional and local economic conditions; fluctuations in interest rates and property tax rates; shifts in zoning laws, environmental regulations and other governmental action such as the exercise of eminent domain; cash flow dependency; increased operating expenses; lack of availability of mortgage funds; losses due to natural disasters; overbuilding; costs and availability of construction materials and labor; losses due to casualty or condemnation; changes in property values and rental rates; and other factors.

**Small-Capitalization Companies Risk.** Historically, stocks of small-capitalization companies and recently organized companies have been more volatile in price than those of the larger market capitalization

------

companies. Among the reasons for the greater price volatility is the lower degree of liquidity in the markets for such securities, which may make these securities difficult to value and to sell. As a result, some of the Target Fund's small cap holdings may be considered or become illiquid. Such companies also may have limited product lines and financial resources and may depend upon a limited or less experienced management group.

**Small- and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk.** The Acquiring Fund may invest in the securities of companies with small- and mid-capitalizations, which can involve greater risk and the possibility of greater portfolio volatility than investments in securities of large- capitalization companies. Historically, stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies and recently organized companies have been more volatile in price than those of the larger market capitalization companies. Among the reasons for the greater price volatility is the lower degree of liquidity in the markets for such stocks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies may have limited product lines and financial resources and may depend upon a limited or less experienced management group. The securities of small-capitalization companies may trade in the over-the-counter markets or on regional exchanges and may not be traded daily or in the volume typical of trading on a national securities exchange, which may make these securities more difficult to value and to sell.

**Value Investing Risk.** Value-style stocks are those that the Adviser believes will increase in value, pay dividends or are undervalued at the time of purchase. Value-style stocks may never increase in price or pay dividends as anticipated by the Adviser, or may decline if the market fails to recognize the company's intrinsic value, if the factors that the Adviser believes will increase the price do not occur or if a stock is appropriately priced.

**INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION**

**Reasons for the Reorganization** 

The Reorganization has the potential to benefit shareholders of the Target Fund by providing a substantially similar investment strategy managed by the same investment adviser and portfolio managers, that invests under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies with small- to mid- market capitalizations. The Reorganization also has the potential to benefit shareholders of both Funds through increased efficiencies leading to lower Fund operating expenses borne by shareholders. The Board has approved the Reorganization.

**Board Consideration of the Reorganization**

At a meeting held on December 12, 2025, the Board, consisting entirely of Independent Trustees, considered the Reorganization as proposed by the Adviser. In evaluating the Reorganization, the Board reviewed materials furnished by the Adviser, and the Adviser responded to questions raised by the Board. The Board also requested additional information from the Adviser regarding the proposed Reorganization and considered the Adviser's response. The materials considered by the Board included information regarding, among other things, the operations and financial condition of the Funds and the principal terms and conditions of the Reorganization.

In its deliberations, the Board considered the following general factors, among others, in no order of priority:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential benefits of the Reorganization to the shareholders of the Target Fund, and to the Adviser and its affiliates;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the current assets of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, the anticipated combined pro forma assets of the Acquiring Fund following the Reorganization and the potential for shareholders to experience immediate economies of scale as well as the greater economies of scale associated with larger mutual funds generally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the identical investment objectives and substantially similar principal investment strategies of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, and that the Funds' fundamental investment policies do not differ materially;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the historical performance of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, and strong risk-adjusted return of the Acquiring Fund, with the understanding that there is no assurance that the Acquiring Fund will achieve any particular level of performance following the Reorganization;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the net operating expenses anticipated to borne by shareholders of each share class of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund after the Reorganization, which are expected to decline relative to current operating expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the likelihood of the Target Fund achieving and/or maintaining sufficient size for long-term operating viability if the Reorganization were not to occur, and the Adviser's recommendation that the Acquiring Fund is better positioned for long-term investment growth, operating viability and marketing opportunities than the Target Fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the other service providers to the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, which provide identical services to shareholders of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund and are not expected to change in connection with the Reorganization;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• representations of the Adviser that the Reorganization is not expected to result in any diminution in the level or quality of services currently provided to shareholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the anticipated federal income tax-free nature of the exchange of Target Fund shares for Acquiring Fund shares in the Reorganization, and other expected federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the anticipated brokerage costs and portfolio turnover of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund in connection with the Reorganization, which are not expected to be significant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the costs of the Reorganization that will be borne by the Target Fund are limited to the amount of estimated cost savings to be realized by the shareholders of the Target Fund in the first year following the Reorganization;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• that the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund share the same investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, as well as the same portfolio managers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• that the distribution fees payable by the Acquiring Fund pursuant to the distribution plan adopted by the Board pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "12b-1 Plan") are less than the distribution fees payable by the Target Fund pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• that the Target Fund's portfolio securities will be exchanged into the Acquiring Fund's portfolio at values determined according to the valuation procedures approved by the Board; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• that Target Fund shareholders may redeem their shares of the Target Fund at any time prior to closing of the Reorganization, or may retain their investment in an alternative mutual fund that invests under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies with small- to mid- market capitalizations, overseen by the Board and advised by the Adviser.

------

The Board did not identify any single factor that was paramount or determinative, and individual Board members may have weighed various factors differently. During their assessment, the Board met and consulted with independent legal counsel regarding the legal issues involved. After consideration of the factors noted above, together with other factors and information considered to be relevant, and recognizing that there can be no assurance that any potential operating efficiencies or other anticipated benefits of the Reorganization will in fact be realized, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Funds and that the interests of existing shareholders of the Funds would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The Board voted unanimously to approve the Reorganization and the related Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.

**Agreement and Plan of Reorganization**

A form of the Plan is set forth in Exhibit A. The Plan provides that all the assets of the Target Fund will be transferred to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the Target Fund as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 24, 2026 or such other date as may be agreed upon by the parties (the "Closing Date"). The class or classes of the Acquiring Fund shares that you will receive in connection with the Reorganization will be the same as the class or classes of the Target Fund shares that you own immediately prior to the closing of the Reorganization.

Prior to the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on the Closing Date, the Target Fund will endeavor to discharge all of its known liabilities and obligations. In addition, prior to the close of business of the NYSE on the Closing Date, for federal income tax reasons, the Target Fund will distribute to its shareholders all of the Target Fund's investment company taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid) for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, all of the Target Fund's net tax-exempt income, if any, for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, and all of its net capital gains realized in all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (after reduction for any available capital loss carryforwards and excluding any net capital gain on which the Target Fund paid federal income tax).

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC ("USBFS"), the administrative and accounting agent for the Funds, will compute the value of each Fund's assets, including portfolio securities, as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange on the Closing Date. The method of valuation employed will be consistent with the Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as amended and restated, and the Trust's valuation procedures approved by the Board and currently in effect with respect to the Funds. The number of Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued in exchange for the Target Fund's net assets shall be determined with respect to each class by dividing the net assets attributable to such class of the Target Fund by the net asset value per share of the corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund.

Immediately after the closing, the Target Fund will distribute pro rata by class to its shareholders of record as of the time of such distribution the full and fractional shares of the Acquiring Fund received by the Target Fund. The liquidation and distribution will be accomplished by the establishment of accounts in the names of the Target Fund's shareholders on the Acquiring Fund's share records of its transfer agent. Each account will receive the respective pro rata number of full and fractional shares of the appropriate class of the Acquiring Fund due a Target Fund shareholder. All issued and outstanding shares of the Target Fund will be cancelled. After these distributions and the winding up of its affairs, the Target Fund will be terminated.

The Reorganization is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Plan. The Plan may be terminated (1) by the mutual agreement of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund; (2) at or prior

------

to the closing by either party (a) because of a breach by any party of any representation, warranty, or agreement contained in the Plan to be performed at or prior to the closing, if not cured within 30 days of notification to the breaching party and prior to the closing, or (b) because a condition in the Plan expressed to be precedent to the obligations of the terminating party has not been met or waived and it reasonably appears that it will not or cannot be met; (3) upon the occurrence of an event which has a material adverse effect upon the Reorganization; or (4) a determination by the Board that the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Plan is not in the best interests of the Target Fund or Acquiring Fund.

In the event of any such termination, in the absence of willful default, there shall be no liability for damages on the part of the Acquiring Fund, the Target Fund, the Trust, or its Trustees or officers to any other party, including, without limitation, consequential damages.

**Description of the Securities to be Issued**

Shareholders of the Target Fund as of the closing will receive full and fractional shares of the Acquiring Fund in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The shares of the Acquiring Fund to be issued in connection with the Reorganization will be duly and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable by the Acquiring Fund. Shares of the Acquiring Fund to be issued in the Reorganization will have no preemptive or conversion rights and no share certificates will be issued.

**Costs of the Reorganization**

The costs of the Reorganization ("Reorganization Expenses") are expected to be approximately $75,000. These costs represent management's estimate of professional services fees, trustees' fees and expenses, and printing costs and mailing charges related to the Reorganization. Because the estimated benefits of the Reorganization, in terms of approximate savings to shareholders of the Target Fund realized during the first year following completion of the Reorganization, which are expected to be approximately $200,000, exceed the expected Reorganization Expenses, the Target Fund will bear the costs of the Reorganization. The Adviser will pay the Reorganization Expenses to the extent such Reorganization Expenses exceed the Target Fund's projected cost savings during the first year following the Reorganization. If the Reorganization is not completed, the Adviser will bear full responsibility for payment of the Reorganization Expenses.

**Material Federal Income Tax Consequences**

The following discussion summarizes the material federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization that are applicable to you as a Target Fund shareholder. It is based on the Code, applicable Treasury regulations, judicial authority, and administrative rulings and practice, all as of the date of this Prospectus/Information Statement and all of which are subject to change, including changes with retroactive effect. The discussion below does not address any state, local, or foreign tax consequences of the Reorganization. Your tax treatment may vary depending upon your particular situation. You also may be subject to special rules not discussed below if you are a certain kind of Target Fund shareholder, including, but not limited to: an insurance company; a tax-exempt organization; a financial institution; broker-dealer; a person who is neither a citizen nor resident of the United States or an entity that is not organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof; a holder of Target Fund shares as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion or other integrated transaction; a person with "applicable financial statements" within the meaning of Section 451(b) of the Code; a person who does not hold Target Fund shares as a capital asset at the time of the Reorganization; or an entity taxable as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.

------

The Reorganization is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. As a condition to the closing of the Reorganization, the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund will receive an opinion from the law firm of Perkins Coie LLP substantially to the effect that, on the basis of the existing provisions of the Code, Treasury regulations issued thereunder, current administrative rules, pronouncements and court decisions, and certain representations, qualifications, and assumptions with respect to the Reorganization, for federal income tax purposes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The transfer by the Target Fund of all its assets to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for Acquiring Fund shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the Target Fund, immediately followed by the pro rata, by class, distribution of all the Acquiring Fund shares so received by the Target Fund to the Target Fund's shareholders of record in complete liquidation of the Target Fund and the termination of the Target Fund promptly thereafter, will constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, and the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund will each be "a party to a reorganization," within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code, with respect to the Reorganization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund upon the receipt of all the assets of the Target Fund solely in exchange for Acquiring Fund shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the Target Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund upon the transfer of all its assets to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for Acquiring Fund shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the Target Fund or upon the distribution (whether actual or constructive) of the Acquiring Fund shares so received to the Target Fund's shareholders solely in exchange for such shareholders' shares of the Target Fund in complete liquidation of the Target Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund's shareholders upon the exchange, pursuant to the Plan, of all their shares of the Target Fund solely for Acquiring Fund shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The aggregate basis of the Acquiring Fund shares received by each Target Fund shareholder pursuant to the Plan will be the same as the aggregate basis of the Target Fund shares exchanged therefor by such shareholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The holding period of the Acquiring Fund shares received by each Target Fund shareholder in the Reorganization will include the period during which the shares of the Target Fund exchanged therefor were held by such shareholder, provided such Target Fund shares were held as capital assets at the effective time of the Reorganization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The basis of the assets of the Target Fund received by the Acquiring Fund will be the same as the basis of such assets in the hands of the Target Fund immediately before the effective time of the Reorganization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The holding period of the assets of the Target Fund received by the Acquiring Fund will include the period during which such assets were held by the Target Fund.

No opinion will be expressed as to (1) the effect of the Reorganization on the Target Fund, the Acquiring Fund or any Target Fund shareholder with respect to any asset (including without limitation any stock held in a passive foreign investment company as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code) as to which any unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized under federal income tax principles (i) at the end of a taxable year or on the termination thereof, or (ii) upon the transfer of such asset regardless of whether such

------

transfer would otherwise be a non-taxable transaction under the Code or (2) any other federal tax issues (except those set forth above) and any state, local or foreign tax issues of any kind.

No ruling will be sought from the IRS with respect to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization. Opinions of counsel are not binding upon the IRS or the courts, are not guarantees of the tax results, and do not preclude the IRS from adopting or taking a contrary position, which may be sustained by a court. If the Reorganization is completed but the IRS or the courts determine, that the Reorganization does not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code and, thus, is taxable, the Target Fund would recognize gain or loss on the transfer of its assets to the Acquiring Fund and each shareholder of the Target Fund would recognize a taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between its tax basis in its Target Fund shares and the fair market value of the shares of the Acquiring Fund it receives.

Prior to the Reorganization, the Target Fund will declare and pay a distribution to its shareholders, which together with all previous distributions, will have the effect of distributing to its shareholders all of the Target Fund's investment company taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), net tax exempt income and realized net capital gain (after reduction for available capital loss carryforwards and excluding certain capital gain on which the Target Fund paid federal income tax), if any, for all periods through the Closing Date. Such distributions will be taxable to shareholders for federal income tax purposes and may include net capital gain from the sale of portfolio assets as discussed below. Even if reinvested in additional shares of the Target Fund, which would be exchanged for shares of the Acquiring Fund in the Reorganization, such distributions will be taxable for federal income tax purposes.

If portfolio assets of the Target Fund are sold prior to the Reorganization, including due to portfolio repositioning prior to the Reorganization, the tax impact of such sales will depend on the holding periods of such assets and the difference between the price at which such portfolio assets are sold and the Target Fund's basis in such assets. Any capital gains recognized in these sales on a net basis (after taking into account any available capital loss carryforwards) will be distributed to the Target Fund's shareholders as capital gains (to the extent of net long-term capital gain over any net short-term capital loss) or ordinary dividends (to the extent of net short-term capital gain over any net long-term capital loss) during or with respect to the year of sale, and such distributions will be taxable to shareholders. Because the Target Fund's investment objectives and policies are substantially similar to those of the Acquiring Fund, it is not expected that repositioning will result in significant portfolio sales or material capital gains.

The Reorganization will cause the tax year of the Target Fund to close. After the Reorganization, the Acquiring Fund's ability to use the Target Fund's or the Acquiring Fund's realized and unrealized pre-Reorganization capital losses, if any, may be limited under certain federal income tax rules applicable to reorganizations of this type. Therefore, in certain circumstances, shareholders may pay federal income tax sooner, or may pay more federal income taxes, than they would have had the Reorganization not occurred. The effect of these potential limitations will depend on a number of factors, including the amount of the losses, the amount of gains to be offset, the exact timing of the Reorganization and the amount of unrealized capital gains in the Funds at the time of the Reorganization.

As of December 31, 2025, for federal income tax purposes, the Target Fund had net unrealized gains of $54,459,157. These figures may change significantly by the date of the Reorganization. As of December 31, 2025, the Target Fund does not have capital loss carryforwards.

In addition, shareholders of the Target Fund will receive a proportionate share of any taxable income and gains realized by the Acquiring Fund and not distributed to its shareholders prior to the Reorganization

------

when such income and gains are eventually distributed by the Acquiring Fund. Furthermore, any gain the Acquiring Fund realizes after the Reorganization, including any built-in gain in the portfolio investments of the Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund that was unrealized at the time of the Reorganization, may result in taxable distributions to shareholders holding shares of the Acquiring Fund (including former shareholders of the Target Fund who hold shares of the Acquiring Fund following the Reorganization). As a result, shareholders of the Target Fund may receive a greater amount of taxable distributions than they would have had the Reorganization not occurred.

The amount of the Acquiring Fund's shareholder distributions may be reduced by any unused capital loss carryforwards available to the Acquiring Fund. After the Reorganization, the Acquiring Fund's ability to use the Target Fund's or Acquiring Fund's pre-Reorganization capital losses, including these carryforwards, may be limited. However, as noted above, the Target Fund does not have capital loss carryforwards. If you invest in a Fund through a tax-advantaged account, such as an IRA, you will generally not be subject to tax on dividends and distributions from the Fund.

*Tracking Your Basis and Holding Period*. After the Reorganization, you will continue to be responsible for tracking the adjusted tax basis and holding period of your shares for federal income tax purposes. However, mutual funds must report cost basis information to you and the IRS when a shareholder sells or exchanges shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012, that are held in a tax-advantaged account, such as an IRA ("covered shares"). Shares received in the Reorganization will be treated as covered shares only to the extent that the Target Fund shares exchanged were covered shares. If the basis of the new shares is determined by reference to shares that were not covered shares, the new shares will not be treated as covered shares for cost basis reporting purposes.

*This discussion does not address any state, local or foreign tax issues and is limited to material federal income tax issues. You are urged and advised to consult your own tax advisors as to the federal, state, local, foreign, and other tax consequences of the Reorganization in light of your individual circumstances, including the applicability and effect of possible changes in any applicable tax laws.*

**Pro Forma Capitalization**

The following table sets forth the net assets, number of shares outstanding, and net asset value ("NAV") per share, assuming the Reorganization occurred as of December 31, 2025. This information is generally referred to as the "capitalization" of a Fund. The term "*pro forma* capitalization" means the expected capitalization of the Acquiring Fund after giving effect to the Reorganization and assuming the Reorganization occurred as of December 31, 2025. These numbers may differ as of the closing date of the Reorganization.

**THE FUNDS' MANAGEMENT**

The Funds have the same investment adviser, Curi Capital, LLC (previously defined as "Curi" or the "Adviser"), and the same portfolio managers, both Christopher C. Faber and Jeff Jones, CFA, are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund's portfolio.

**The Investment Adviser**

The Funds' investment adviser is Curi, located at One North Wacker Drive, Suite 3500, Chicago, Illinois, 60606. The Adviser was founded in 2005. Curi is an independent diversified financial services firm with approximately $14.1 billion in assets under management, as of January 31, 2026, that provides advisory and investment services to individuals, institutions and employers, utilizing both internally and externally managed investment products. Curi is managed by its majority owner, Curi Capital Holdings LLC, and Curi Capital Aggregator LLC is a minority partner.

Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement, the Adviser is responsible for managing the investment and reinvestment of each Fund's assets in accordance with the Fund's investment objective and policies, including economic research, industry and company analysis, the purchase and sale of portfolio securities and maintaining books and records of the Fund. The Adviser also has overall responsibility for the general management of the Funds' operations, including arranging for and assisting the Board with oversight of the services provided by third party service providers. In return for its services, the Adviser receives a fee from each Fund.

The Acquiring Fund pays an advisory fee at an annual rate of 0.70% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Target Fund pays an advisory fee consisting of a basic annual fee of 0.85%. Taking the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement into consideration, the Target Fund has a net operating expense of 0.95%, while the Acquiring Fund is 0.80%. Following the Reorganization, Target Fund shareholders, as shareholders of the Acquiring Fund, will be subject to the advisory fee of the Acquiring Fund at an annual rate of 0.70% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

**The Portfolio Managers**

Christopher C. Faber and Jeff Jones, CFA, are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Acquiring Fund's and the Target Fund's portfolios. Mr. Faber is a Senior Vice President and Portfolio Manager of the Adviser and has served as a portfolio manager of the Funds since inception of their respective predecessor funds in August 2002. Mr. Jones is a Partner and Portfolio Manager of the Adviser and has served as a portfolio manager of the Funds since May 2025.

The SAI provides additional information about the portfolio managers, including information relating to each portfolio manager's compensation, other accounts managed by the portfolio managers and each portfolio manager's ownership of securities in each Fund.

**Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement Approval**

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board's approval of the investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds and the Adviser, is available in the Funds' semi-annual report to shareholders for the period ended June 30, 2025.

------

**Expense Limitation Agreement**

From time to time, the Adviser may reduce its fee or make other arrangements to limit a Fund's expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets. For each Fund, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fees and reimburse other expenses to the extent required so that each Fund's Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not exceed amounts specified for each share class. The table below sets forth the expense limits agreed to by the Adviser for each Fund and share class, as a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets. For both Funds, the expense limitation agreement excludes the following expenses for purposes of determining a Fund's expense levels and the Adviser's waiver and reimbursement obligations: interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, acquired fund fees and expenses, short sale dividends and extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business (e.g., litigation). The Adviser and the Board have determined that expenses associated with the Reorganization are extraordinary expenses that are not subject to the Funds' expense limitation agreements.

The table below sets forth the expense limits agreed to by the Adviser for each Fund and share class, as a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Target Fund's Limit on Other Expenses** | **Acquiring Fund's Limit on Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses** |
| Investor Class | 1.20% | 1.05% |
| Class I  | 0.95% | 0.80% |

---

The Adviser's expense waiver and reimbursement obligations under the agreement are determined monthly, based on each Fund's annualized expenses for the month. The Expense Limitation Agreement will remain in effect through April 30, 2026 for each Fund and will automatically renew for successive one-year periods ending April 30, unless either party to the agreement provides 30 days' prior written notice to the other party, and cannot be terminated prior to said date without the approval of the Board. There can be no assurance that the Expense Limitation Agreement will be continued, or that any other similar agreement will be effective, after the date stated above.

The expense limits will not apply to interest charges on borrowings, taxes, brokerage commissions, dealer spreads and other transaction costs, expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, "Acquired Fund" (as defined in Form N-1A under the 1940 Act) fees and expenses, short sale dividends, extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of a Fund's business (e.g., litigation and indemnification), and any other costs and expenses that may be approved by the Board. Extraordinary expenses are expenses that are unusual or are expected to recur infrequently, and may include, but are not limited to: (i) expenses of the reorganization, restructuring or merger of a Fund, including the acquisition of all the assets of a Fund or the acquisition by a Fund of another fund's assets, (ii) expenses of substantially rewriting and reformatting a Fund's disclosure documents, (iii) expenses of holding and soliciting proxies for a shareholder meeting to consider and vote upon changes to a Fund's investment policies and restrictions, charter documents or other fundamental matters, and (iv) expenses of converting to a new custodian, transfer agent or other service provider.

The Adviser may recoup from a Fund fees and expenses waived and reimbursed by the Adviser pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement for a period of three years following the date on which the waiver or reimbursement occurred, provided that such recoupment does not cause the Fund to exceed the expense limits in effect at the time of the waiver/reimbursement or recoupment. The following table shows the Acquiring Fund's previously waived or reimbursed expenses subject to recoupment by the Adviser for the next three years:

------

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Year Incurred** | **Expiration Year** | **RMB SMID Cap Fund** |
| 2023 | 2026 | $213349 |
| 2024 | 2027 | $223165 |
| 2025 | 2028 | $223139 |

---

Any Target Fund expenses that were previously waived or reimbursed by the Adviser and that are subject to recoupment by the Adviser as of the date of the Reorganization are not transferable to the Acquiring Fund and therefore the Adviser will not be able to recoup those amounts from the Funds following completion of the Reorganization.

**Other Service Providers**

The Funds have the same service providers. Upon completion of the Reorganization, the Acquiring Fund will continue to engage its existing service providers, as set forth in the chart below.

**ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT STRATEGIES**

*Target Fund.* The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of U.S. companies with small market capitalizations. For this purpose, the Adviser defines a small-capitalization company as any company with a market capitalization less than or equal to the largest market capitalization (determined at the time of investment) of any company in the Russell 2000® Index, which, as of March 31, 2025, was approximately $15.2 billion. Equity securities in which the Fund invests consist primarily of common stocks, and may include other types of equity securities. The Fund may also invest in REITs.

The Adviser actively manages the Fund by applying an economic return framework that seeks to identify attractively-priced companies at all stages of the corporate lifecycle that allocate capital in a way that creates long-term value. The Adviser's economic return framework analyzes key determinants of success, such as cash flow, capital investments, credit worthiness and sales momentum. Taking into account a company's stage in the corporate lifecycle, the Adviser evaluates the sustainability of the company's economic returns and further evaluates potential investments to determine which stocks are most attractively priced. In managing the Fund, the Adviser seeks to construct a portfolio that is diversified across both economic sectors and corporate lifecycle. As a result of its lifecycle diversification, the Fund invests in both growth- and value-style equity securities.

The first phase in the decision-making process involves screening a broad equity universe of approximately 3,000 small market capitalization issuers to determine which look most promising based on analysis of several key determinants of success, such as capital investments, credit worthiness and sales momentum. From there, the Adviser narrows the list and evaluates approximately 600 companies, with a focus on each company's stage in its life cycle and the level, trend and sustainability of economic returns. This results in a potential "buy" list of 150 companies the Adviser believes are well managed, and which are evaluated further to determine which stocks are most attractively priced. Following additional analysis of accounting numbers, financial statement data and recent corporate news, the Adviser arrives at a target price for each stock and makes risk/reward comparisons among all of the potential investments. The Adviser typically constructs the Target Fund's portfolio of the approximately 40 to 80 holdings that result from this process, with close attention paid to the Russell 2000® Index sector weightings, which may result in a significant portion of the Target Fund's assets being invested in particular sectors, such as the financial services industry. Stocks are typically

------

sold or positions are reduced at a variety of times, including when they reach the target price, when there is a significant change in economic return trend, or when a position reaches 5% of the Target Fund's net assets.

*Acquiring Fund.* The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies with small- to mid- market capitalizations. For this purpose, the Adviser defines a small- to mid- capitalization company as a company that has a market capitalization of between $500 million and $40.02 billion at the time of purchase. Equity securities in which the Fund invests consist primarily of common stocks, and may include other types of equity securities. The Fund may also invest in REITs.

As a result of its lifecycle diversification, the Fund invests in both growth- and value-style equity securities.

The first phase in the decision-making process involves screening a broad equity universe of approximately 2,500 small- to mid- market capitalization issuers to determine which look most promising based on analysis of several key determinants of success, such as capital investments, credit worthiness and sales momentum. From there, the Adviser narrows the list and evaluates approximately 600 companies, with a focus on each company's stage in its life cycle and the level, trend and sustainability of economic returns.

Stocks are typically sold or positions are reduced at a variety of times, including when they reach the target price, when there is a significant change in economic return trend, or when a position reaches 5% of the Acquiring Fund's net assets.

*Target Fund and Acquiring Fund*. As part of the Adviser's investment process for the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, the investment team evaluates the general and industry-specific ESG factors that the Adviser believes to be the most financially material to a company's short-, medium-, and long-term enterprise value at any given time. The Adviser defines materiality in terms of the impact on a company's net income over the long-term. Specific ESG factors the Adviser considers at any given time vary greatly by geography and industry, and may also vary between companies within the same geographic region or industry. The Adviser believes its evaluation of ESG factors contributes to its overall analysis of a company's value creation and future financial performance.

The Adviser primarily utilizes data from company filings and information from engagement with company management, and may also use data from third-party sources, in its proprietary ESG evaluation process. The Adviser's proprietary ESG evaluation process seeks to identify ESG factors that the Adviser

------

believes will materially contribute to or detract from a company's financial performance. The investment team assigns a grade (e.g., A, B, or C) for the company's environmental, social, and governance practices, as well as an overall ESG grade for the company. The weight given to any particular ESG factor may vary depending upon a company's industry and may change over time.

The ESG grades the Adviser assigns to a company are only one of many inputs considered by the investment team in evaluating whether to buy, sell or hold the company for the Fund's portfolio.

Across industries, the investment team evaluates common corporate ESG factors, including but not limited to those listed below.

<u>Environmental</u>: greenhouse gas emissions, energy management, and water management.

<u>Social</u>: recruitment and management of a global, diverse, and skilled workforce, community relations, product safety, and labor practices.

<u>Governance</u>: composition and structure of the board of directors, executive management's compensation level and structure, competitive behavior, systematic risk management, and business ethics.

Industry-specific ESG factors the investment team evaluates include, but are not limited to, those listed below.

<u>Environmental</u>: environmental footprint of hardware infrastructure, hazardous materials management, waste and discharge management, distribution network efficiency, and fleet fuel management.

<u>Social</u>: data security, lending practices, food safety, energy affordability, and advertising integrity.

<u>Governance</u>: intellectual property protection, nuclear safety and emergency management, management of systemic risks from technology disruptions, management of conflicts of interest, and critical incident risk management.

**UNDERSTANDING FUND FEES AND EXPENSES**

**<u>Shareholder Fees</u>**

The following definitions may be helpful in understanding the Funds' shareholder fees:

**"Asked or Offering Price."** The price at which a Fund's shares may be purchased. The asked or offering price includes the current net asset value per share ("NAV") plus any front-end sales charge.

**<u>Fund Expenses</u>**

The following definitions may be helpful in understanding Fund expenses:

**"Management Fees."** Fees paid to the Adviser for the supervision of a Fund's investment program.

**"Distribution and Shareholder Servicing (Rule 12b-1) Fees."** Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, mutual funds may use some of their assets to pay commissions to brokers, other marketing expenses and shareholder service fees. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. You should take Rule 12b-1 fees into account when choosing a Fund and share class.

**"Other Expenses."** Fees paid by the Fund for miscellaneous items such as transfer agency, custodian, administration, professional and registration fees.

------

**CHOOSING A SHARE CLASS**

The information in this section applies to shares of the Acquiring Fund. The Acquiring Fund is offering the following classes of shares pursuant to this Prospectus/Information Statement and the SAI: Class I. Investor Class shares are not available for purchase.

**Class I shares have no sales charges and no Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. You will not pay any sales load, commission, or other similar fee in connection with the shares you will receive in the Reorganization.**

Exhibit D sets forth additional information regarding: How to Buy Shares, How to Exchange and Redeem Shares, and Transaction Policies. Information about the manner in which the Funds offer shares is also set forth below. Information relating to eligibility to invest in a particular share class, minimum investment amounts, and investor services applies if you are transacting directly with the Funds. Shares of the Funds are also available through certain financial intermediaries, such as a bank or broker-dealer. If you invest through an intermediary, you are not transacting directly with a Fund and you must follow that intermediary's transaction procedures which may include different requirements to invest in a particular share class, minimum investment amounts, and investor services. Your intermediary may impose charges for its services in addition to the fees charged by the Funds. You should consult with your intermediary for information regarding its conditions, procedures, and fees for transacting in Fund shares. The Funds are not responsible for the implementation of any intermediary's transaction procedures or sales charge reductions and waivers.

**Class I Shares**

You may buy Class I shares without paying a sales charge. The Class I shares are available to all investors directly from the Trust or through a financial intermediary, including but not limited to, financial advisors, retirement plans, broker-dealers and bank trust departments. To meet the minimum initial investment amount described in Exhibit D, investors may consider aggregating multiple accounts with common ownership and financial advisors may consider aggregating multiple client accounts within the Trust. Class I share accounts offered through a service organization may meet the minimum initial investment amount by aggregating multiple accounts within the Trust. Exceptions to the Class I share investment minimums may apply for qualified retirement plans and other account types with lower or no networking and/or omnibus fees charged to the Trust. The Trust reserves the right to change the amount of minimums through service organizations from time to time or to waive them in whole or in part.

*Holders through Financial Intermediaries:* Investors who hold Class I shares of the Funds through a fee-based program at a financial intermediary but who subsequently become ineligible to participate in the program, withdraw from the program, or change to a non-fee based program, may be subject to conversion of their Class I shares by their financial intermediary to another class of shares of the Funds having expenses (including Rule 12b-1 fees) that may be higher than the expenses of the Class I shares. Investors should contact their program provider to obtain information about their eligibility for the provider's program and the class of shares they would receive upon such a conversion. Investors are not charged a redemption/exchange fee by the Fund.

**Investor Class Shares**

The Investor Class shares are not currently available for purchase. When available, you may buy Investor Class shares without paying a sales charge. The Investor Class shares have lower investment minimums than the Class I shares and are subject to an annual Rule 12b-1 distribution fee of 0.25% (discussed

------

above in the section entitled "Understanding Fund Fees and Expenses – Distribution and Shareholder Servicing (Rule 12b-1) Fees").

**Calculation of Net Asset Value**

Each Fund calculates the NAV of each class as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each business day that the NYSE is open for regular trading. The NYSE is not open, and the Funds will not calculate an NAV or be available for purchase, redemption, or exchange, on certain national holidays. If the NYSE closes early, the time for calculating the NAV and the deadline for share transactions will be accelerated to the earlier closing time. Purchase and redemption orders received by the Trust's transfer agent before the regular close of the NYSE will be executed at the offering price calculated at that day's closing.

The NAV of each class of a Fund is the total value of its assets attributable to a class less its liabilities attributable to that class, divided by the total number of outstanding Fund shares of that class. Each Fund values the securities in its portfolio on the basis of official closing or last reported sale prices on the security's primary exchange, the mean of the closing or last reported bid and ask prices for the security and valuations provided by independent pricing services. In addition, the values of foreign securities denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies will be converted to U.S. dollars utilizing foreign exchange rates in effect as of the time established for determining the respective Fund's NAV. Short-term debt securities are valued at amortized cost, subject to Board oversight. When valuations from such pricing sources are not readily available or determined by the Adviser to be unreliable, a Fund will use a security's fair value as determined pursuant to procedures approved by the Board using the methodology set forth in the procedures and deemed most appropriate under the circumstances. When fair valuation is used to price securities, the values for those securities may be higher or lower than values used by another fund to price the security. Also, the use of fair valuation may cause the Fund's performance to diverge to a greater degree from the performance of various benchmarks used to compare the Fund's performance because benchmarks generally do not use fair valuation techniques. Because of the judgment involved in fair valuation decisions, there can be no assurance that the value ascribed to a particular security is accurate.

The Board has approved the use of a third-party vendor's proprietary fair value pricing model to assist in determining current valuation for foreign securities traded in markets that close prior to the NYSE. When fair value pricing is employed, the value of the portfolio security used to calculate the Funds' NAV may differ from quoted or official closing prices. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, it is possible that the value determined for a particular security may be materially different from the value realized upon its sale. It is possible that market timers may attempt to buy or sell Fund shares to profit from price movements in foreign markets that are not yet reflected in a Fund's NAV. Such trades may have the effect of reducing the value of existing shareholders' investments. The Trust's use of fair value pricing is designed to more accurately reflect the current market value of a portfolio security and to minimize the possibilities for time-zone arbitrage; however, the Trust's process may not be effective in preventing to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading.

**DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICE FEES**

For Investor Class shares of the Funds, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act (previously defined as the "12b-1 Plan"), the maximum annual fee payable to the Distributor for such distribution and/or shareholder services is 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Investor Class shares. Since these fees are paid out of each Fund's assets attributable to the Investor Class shares, these fees will increase the cost of your investment and, over time, may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. The net income attributable to

------

Investor Class shares will be reduced by the amount of distribution and service fees and other expenses of the Fund associated with those shares. The Distributor may pay any or all amounts received under the 12b-1 Plan to other persons for any distribution or services provided by such persons to the Fund. Payments under the 12b-1 Plan are not tied exclusively to expenses actually incurred by the Distributor or others and the payments may exceed or be less than the amount of expenses actually incurred.

**Payments to Financial Intermediaries**

From time to time, the Adviser, the Distributor or an affiliate may enter into arrangements with brokers or other financial intermediaries pursuant to which such parties agree to perform sub-transfer agent, record-keeping, administrative or other services on behalf of their clients who are shareholders of the Funds. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Adviser, the Distributor or an affiliate may make payments to financial intermediaries for services provided to clients who hold shares of the Funds through omnibus accounts. In addition, the Adviser, the Distributor or an affiliate may pay additional compensation to certain financial intermediaries to compensate the intermediary for distribution and marketing services, including the opportunity to distribute the Funds. For example, the Adviser, the Distributor or an affiliate may compensate financial intermediaries for providing the Funds with "shelf space" or access to a third-party platform or fund offering list or other marketing programs, including, without limitation, inclusion of the Funds on preferred or recommended sales lists, mutual fund "supermarket" platforms, other formal sales programs and other forms of marketing support. The amount of these payments may differ among such financial intermediaries based upon one or more of the following factors: gross sales, current assets, the number of accounts of a Fund held by the financial intermediaries or other factors agreed to by the parties. The receipt of (or prospect of receiving) such compensation may provide the intermediary and its salespersons with an incentive to favor sales of Fund shares over other investment alternatives. You may wish to consider whether such arrangements exist when evaluating recommendations from an intermediary.

**FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS**

Each Fund has elected, qualified, and intends to continue to qualify for each taxable year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Code. As such, each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of the Code regarding the sources of its income, the timing of its distributions, and the diversification of its assets. If each Fund meets all such requirements, each Fund will not be subject to federal income tax on its investment company taxable income and net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) that is distributed to shareholders in accordance with the timing and other requirements of the Code. If a Fund does not qualify as a regulated investment company, it will be treated as a corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax, thereby subjecting any income earned by the Fund to tax at the corporate level, in addition to shareholder-level tax when such income is distributed.

Each Fund pays dividends and distributions, if any, as described in the table below. If you own shares on a Fund's distribution record date, you will be entitled to receive the distribution.

Unless you notify your Fund otherwise, your income and capital gains distributions from the Fund will be reinvested in that Fund. However, if you prefer you may:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Receive all distributions in cash or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reinvest capital gains distributions but receive your income distributions in cash

After the Reorganization, shareholders of the Target Fund will continue to receive income and capital gains distributions, if any, from their shares of the Acquiring Fund in the same manner (i.e., in cash or additional Acquiring Fund shares) in which they received distributions from the Target Fund, although they may, after the Reorganization, change their election regarding receipt of distributions from the Acquiring Fund. Target Fund shareholders who wish to change their election before the Reorganization should refer to the Target Fund's prospectus or contact the financial intermediary through which they purchased their shares. After the Reorganization, shareholders of the Target Fund who have their dividends or distributions reinvested will have dividends or distributions received from the Acquiring Fund reinvested in the same class of shares of the Acquiring Fund as they owned in the Target Fund.

Your distributions are generally taxable when they are paid, whether you take them in cash or reinvest them in additional shares. If you invest in a Fund through a tax-advantaged account, such as an IRA, you will not be subject to federal income tax on dividends and distributions from the Fund or the sale of the Fund shares if those amounts remain in the tax-advantaged account and the Fund shares were not financed with borrowings. However, withdrawals from a tax-advantaged account may be subject to taxes.

Distributions from a Fund's investment company taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid) are generally taxable for federal income tax purposes either as ordinary income or, if so reported by a Fund in written statements furnished to its shareholders and certain other conditions are met, as "qualified dividend income" taxable to individual and other non-corporate shareholders at long-term capital gain rates.

Generally, distributions attributable to long-term capital gains will be taxable as long-term capital gain, and distributions attributable to short-term capital gain will be taxable as ordinary income. The maximum individual federal income tax rate applicable to "qualified dividend income" and long-term capital gains is currently 23.8% (which includes a 3.8% net investment income tax discussed below).

A Fund may also pay dividends and distributions at other times if necessary for the Fund to avoid U.S. federal income or excise tax. Distributions generally are taxable in the year you receive them. However, in some cases, distributions you receive in January are taxable as if they were paid during the previous year.

Each Fund issues Form 1099 tax information statements recording all distributions and redemptions for the preceding year. These forms are mailed to shareholders and to the IRS each year. Any shareholder who does not supply a valid taxpayer identification number or make certain required certifications to the Funds may be subject to federal backup withholding.

It is generally a taxable event for federal income tax purposes whenever you redeem shares or exchange shares of a Fund for shares of another Fund. Generally, you will recognize a capital gain or capital loss in an amount equal to the difference between the net amount of the redemption proceeds (or in the case of an exchange, the fair market value of the shares) that you receive and your tax basis for the shares you redeem or exchange. Any gain or loss you realize upon a redemption or exchange of shares of a Fund will generally be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than one year and, if not held for

------

such period, as short-term capital gain or loss. Short-term capital gain is taxable at ordinary income tax rates for federal income tax purposes. Any loss realized on sales or exchanges of Fund shares held six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any long-term capital gain distributions you received with respect to such shares. Your ability to utilize capital losses for federal income tax purposes may be limited.

An additional 3.8% net investment income tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including income dividends and capital gain distributions received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person's "modified adjusted gross income" (in the case of an individual) or "adjusted gross income" (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount.

You should consult your tax adviser about your own particular tax situation. Please refer to the SAI for additional information on the tax implications of your investment in the Fund.

**Buying Shares Before a Distribution**

The money a Fund earns, either as income or as capital gains, is reflected in its share price until the Fund makes a distribution. At that time, the amount of the distribution is deducted from the share price and is either reinvested in additional shares or paid to shareholders in cash. If you buy Fund shares just before a distribution, you will get some of your investment back in the form of a taxable distribution. You can avoid this by waiting to invest until after the Fund makes its distribution. Investments in tax-advantaged accounts are not affected by the timing of distribution payments because generally there are no tax consequences on distributions to these accounts.

**Backup Withholding**

When you fill out your application form, be sure to provide your social security number or taxpayer ID number. Otherwise, the IRS will require each Fund to backup withhold at a rate of 24% on all dividends, distributions, sales proceeds and any other payments to you from the Fund. In certain circumstances, the IRS may also require a Fund to backup withhold even when an appropriate number has been provided by a shareholder.

**Cost Basis Reporting**

A Fund (or its agent) must report to the IRS and furnish to Fund shareholders cost basis information for Fund shares purchased on or after January 1, 2012, and sold or exchanged on or after that date. The Funds have selected average cost as the default cost basis method. Fund shareholders should consult with their tax advisors to determine the best IRS-accepted cost basis method for their tax situation and to obtain more information about how the cost basis reporting law applies to them. If you wish to select another cost basis method, please contact the Funds for further information.

**ADDITIONAL INFORMATION**

The Trust is subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the 1940 Act, and in accordance therewith files reports and other information including proxy materials, information statements and charter documents with the SEC. Reports and other information about the Funds are available on the EDGAR database of the SEC's internet website at http://www.sec.gov. You may obtain copies of these reports and other information, after paying a duplicating fee, by sending an e-mail request to: publicinfo@sec.gov.

**INFORMATION ON SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS**

The following is a summary of the material rights of shareholders of the Funds, but does not purport to be a complete description of these rights. The rights of shareholders of each Fund may be determined in full by reference to the Delaware Code – Treatment of Delaware Statutory Trusts and <u>[the Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as amended and restated (the "Declaration of Trust")](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/30126/000089418917006668/agremntdeclaration.htm)</u> and <u>[Amended and Restated By-Laws](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/30126/000089418917006668/bylaws.htm)</u>, copies of which are available upon request and without charge by contacting the Funds at (800) 462-2392. Further information about the Trust's governance structure is contained in the SAI and the Trust's governing documents, which are on file with the SEC.

The Trustees are responsible for the management and supervision of the Funds. The Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated August 20, 1998, as amended (the "Declaration of Trust") permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest of the Funds, with a par value of $0.10 per share or such other amount as the Trustees may establish. Under the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees have the authority to create and classify shares of beneficial interest in separate series, without further action by shareholders. Additional series may be added in the future. The Declaration of Trust also authorizes the Trustees to classify and reclassify the share of the Funds, or any other series of the Trust, into one or more classes.

Each share of a Fund represents an equal proportionate interest in the assets belonging to that Fund. When issued, shares are fully paid and non- assessable. In the event of liquidation of a Fund, shareholders are entitled to share pro-rata in the net assets of the Fund available for distribution to such shareholders. Shares of a Fund are freely transferable and have no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights.

*Form of Organization.* The Trust is a statutory trust organized on August 20, 1998 under Delaware law.

*Issuance of Shares and Capital Stock.* The Trustees have full power and authority, in their sole discretion and without obtaining shareholder approval unless otherwise required by applicable federal law, to issue original or additional shares at such times and on such terms and conditions as they deem appropriate; to issue fractional shares and shares held in the treasury of the Trust; to establish and to change in any manner shares of any series or classes with such preferences, terms of exchange or conversion, voting powers, rights and privileges as the Trustees may determine (but the Trustees may not change outstanding shares in a manner materially adverse to the shareholders of such shares); to divide or combine the shares of any series or classes into a greater or lesser number; to classify or reclassify any issued or unissued shares of any series or classes into one or more series or classes (whether the shares to be classified or reclassified are issued and outstanding or unissued and whether such shares constitute part or all of the shares of such series or class); to abolish any one or more series or classes of shares; to issue shares to acquire other assets (including assets subject to, and in connection with, the assumption of liabilities) and businesses; and to take such other action with respect to the shares as the Trustees may deem desirable.

*Authorized Capital Shares.* The number of shares of each series and class is unlimited and each share shall have a par value of $0.10 per share or such other amount as the Trustees may establish.

*Preemptive, Subscription and Other Rights.* When issued, shares are fully paid and non- assessable with no preemptive or other right to subscribe to any additional shares or other securities issued by the Trust. There shall be no cumulative voting in the election of Trustees.

*Annual Shareholder Meetings.* Unless otherwise required by the 1940 Act or the Declaration of Trust, the Funds have no intention of holding annual meetings of shareholders.

------

*Calling Shareholder Meetings.* Meetings of shareholders of the Trust or a series or class thereof shall be held as provided in the Declaration of Trust at such place within or without the State of Delaware as the Trustees shall designate, and meetings shall be called and notice thereof shall be given as provided in the Trust's By-Laws.

*Notice of Shareholder Meetings.* Notice of all meetings of the shareholders, stating the time, place and purpose(s) of the meeting, given by the Trustees by mail or telegraphic or electronic means to each shareholder at his address as recorded on the register of the Trust mailed at least (10) days and not more than ninety (90) days before the meeting, provided, however, that notice of a meeting need not be given to a shareholder to whom such notice need not be given under the proxy rules of the SEC under the 1940 Act and the Exchange Act.

*Record Date.* The Trustees may fix in advance a date up to 120 days before the date of any Shareholders' meeting as a record date for the determination of the Shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any such meeting.

*Right to Vote.* Shareholders have power to vote only with respect to (a) the election of Trustees as; (b) the removal of Trustees; (c) any investment advisory or management contract entered into, unless a shareholder vote is not required pursuant to the provisions of the 1940 Act or any rule, regulation or order of the SEC thereunder; (d) any termination of the Trust (e) the amendment of the Declaration of Trust; and (f) such additional matters relating to the Trust as may be required or authorized by law, the Declaration of Trust, or the By-Laws or any registration of the Trust with the SEC or as the Trustees may consider desirable.

*Number of Votes.* In accordance with the provisions of the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees have initially determined that shares entitle their holders to one vote per share on any matter on which such shares are entitled to vote. The Trustees may determine in the future, without the vote or consent of shareholders, that each dollar of net asset value (number of shares owned times NAV) will be entitled to one vote on any matter on which such shares are entitled to vote.

*Shareholder Approval.* Except when a larger vote is required by law, the Declaration of Trust or the By-Laws, a majority of the outstanding shares voting at a shareholders' meeting in person or by proxy shall decide any matters to be voted upon with respect to the entire Trust and a plurality of such outstanding shares shall elect a Trustee; provided, that if the Declaration of Trust or applicable law permits or requires that shares be voted on any matter by individual series or classes, then a majority of the outstanding shares of that series or class voting at a shareholders' meeting in person or by proxy on the matter shall decide that matter insofar as that series or class is concerned.

*Shareholder Liability.* The Delaware statute provides that no shareholder shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever to any person in connection with the property, acts, obligations or affairs of the Trust or any series. The Delaware statute also provides for the governing documents of the Trust to be amended to expand or limit shareholder liability. The Declaration of Trust states that no shareholder shall be personally liable for the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by, contracted for, or otherwise existing with respect to, the Trust or any series. The Declaration of Trust further states that shareholders shall have the same limitation of personal liability as is extended to shareholders of a private corporation for profit incorporated in the State of Delaware.

*Trustee and Officer Liability*: Provided they have exercised reasonable care and have acted under the reasonable belief that their actions are in the best interest of the Trust, the Trustees and officers of the Trust

------

shall not be responsible or liable for any act or omission or for neglect or wrongdoing of them or any officer, agent, employee, investment adviser or independent contractor of the Trust, but nothing contained in the Declaration of Trust or in the Delaware Act shall protect any Trustee or officer of the Trust against liability to the Trust or to shareholders to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.

*Indemnification.* Under Delaware law, shareholders of a Delaware statutory trust are protected from liability for acts or obligations of the Trust to the same extent as shareholders of a private, for-profit Delaware corporation.

If any shareholder or former shareholder of any series is personally liable solely by reason of his being or having been a shareholder and not because of his acts or omissions or for some other reason, the shareholder or former shareholder (or his heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives or in the case of any entity, its general successor) shall be entitled out of the assets belonging to the applicable series to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability. The Trust, on behalf of the affected series, shall, upon request by such shareholder, assume the defense of any claim made against such shareholder for any act or obligation of the series and satisfy any judgment thereon from the assets of the series. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss beyond his or her investment because of shareholder liability with respect to a Fund is limited to circumstances in which all of the following factors are present: (1) a court refused to apply Delaware law; (2) the liability arose under tort law or, if not, no contractual limitation of liability was in effect; and (3) the Fund itself would be unable to meet its obligations. In light of Delaware law, the nature of the Trust's business and the nature of its assets, we believe the risk of personal liability to a shareholder is remote.

The Trust will indemnify each of its Trustees and officers against liabilities and expenses reasonably incurred by them, in connection with, or arising out of, any action, suit or proceeding, threatened against or otherwise involving the Trustee or officer, directly or indirectly, by reason of being or having been a Trustee or officer of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust does not authorize the Trust or any Fund to indemnify any Trustee or officer against any liability to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of or for willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of such person's duties.

*Amendments to By-Laws.* The By-Laws may be altered, amended or repealed, or new By-Laws may be adopted by (a) vote of a majority of the outstanding shares voting in person or by proxy at a meeting of shareholders and entitled to vote or (b) by the Trustees; provided, however, that none of the By-Laws may be amended, adopted or repealed by the Trustees if such amendment, adoption or repeal requires, pursuant to law, the Declaration of Trust or the By-Laws, a vote of the shareholders.

*Amendments to Declaration of Trust.* Trustees may, without any shareholder vote, amend or otherwise supplement the Declaration of Trust by making an amendment, a Declaration of Trust supplemental hereto or an amended and restated trust instrument; provided, that shareholders shall have the right to vote on any amendment (a) which would affect the voting rights of shareholders, (b) to Section 7 of the Declaration of Trust, (c) required to be approved by shareholders by law or by the Trust's registration statement(s) filed with the SEC, and (d) submitted to them by the Trustees in their discretion. Any amendment submitted to shareholders which the Trustees determine would affect the shareholders of any series shall be authorized by vote of the shareholders of such series and no vote shall be required of shareholders of a series not affected. Notwithstanding anything else therein, (i) any amendment to Article IV of the Declaration of Trust which would have the effect of reducing the indemnification or other rights provided thereby to Trustees, officers, employees, and agents of the Trust or to shareholders or former shareholders, and any repeal or amendment of this sentence

------

shall each require the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Trust entitled to vote thereon and (ii) no amendment to Article IV of the Declaration of Trust that would have the effect of reducing the indemnification or other rights provided thereby to Trustees, officers, employees, and agents of the Trust or to shareholders or former shareholders shall be effective with respect to any acts or omissions of any such persons occurring or otherwise relating to any time period prior to the adoption of such amendment or shall otherwise have any retroactive effect.

**EXHIBIT A<br>FORM OF AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION**

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the "**Agreement**") is made as of [__], 2026, among RMB SMID Cap Fund (the "**Acquiring Fund**"), a series of RMB Investors Trust (the "**Trust**"), a Delaware statutory trust; RMB Small Cap Fund (the "**Target Fund**," and collectively with the Acquiring Fund, the "**Funds**" and each a "**Fund**"), a series of the Trust; and, for purposes of paragraph 9.1 of this Agreement only, Curi Capital, LLC.

ARTICLE I

TRANSFER OF ASSETS OF THE TARGET FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR ACQUIRING FUND SHARES AND THE ASSUMPTION OF TARGET FUND LIABILITIES AND TERMINATION AND LIQUIDATION OF THE TARGET FUND

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;THE EXCHANGE. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, the Trust, on behalf of the Target Fund, agrees to transfer all of the Target Fund's assets to the Acquiring Fund as set forth in paragraph 1.2, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and claims whatsoever. The Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, agrees in exchange for the Target Fund's assets (i) to deliver to the Target Fund the number of Acquiring Fund Shares, including fractional Acquiring Fund Shares, computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth in paragraphs 2.2 and 2.3; and (ii) to assume all of the liabilities of the Target Fund, as set forth in paragraph 1.3. All Acquiring Fund Shares delivered to the Target Fund shall be delivered at net asset value without a sales charge, commission or other similar fee being imposed. Such transactions shall take place at the Closing (as defined below) provided for in paragraph 3.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ASSETS TO BE ACQUIRED. The assets of the Target Fund to be acquired by the Acquiring Fund shall consist of all property owned by the Target Fund, including, without limitation, all cash, securities, commodities, rights, interests in futures, forwards, swaps and other financial instruments, and claims (whether absolute or contingent, known or unknown), receivables (including dividends or interest receivables) and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Target Fund as of the Closing (as defined below).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LIABILITIES TO BE ASSUMED. The Trust will endeavor to discharge all of the Target Fund's known liabilities and obligations prior to the Valuation Time (as defined below). The Acquiring Fund shall assume all of the Target Fund's liabilities and obligations of any kind whatsoever, whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise in existence as of the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LIQUIDATION AND DISTRIBUTION. On or as soon after the Closing as is practicable, (a) the Target Fund will completely liquidate and distribute pro rata to the Target Fund's shareholders of record of each class, determined as of the time of such distribution (the "**Target Fund Shareholders**"), the Acquiring Fund Shares of the corresponding class (as set forth on <u>Exhibit A</u>) received by the Target Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.1; and (b) the Target Fund will proceed to terminate in accordance with applicable laws of the State of Delaware as set forth in paragraph 1.7 below. Such liquidation and distribution will be accomplished by the transfer of the Acquiring Fund Shares then credited to the account of the Target Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the names of the Target Fund Shareholders and representing the respective pro rata number of the Acquiring Fund Shares, by class, due such shareholders. All issued and outstanding shares of the Target Fund will simultaneously be canceled on the books of the Target Fund and will be null and void, and no sales charges or fees, contingent, deferred or otherwise, will be incurred by shareholders of the Target Fund in connection therewith. The Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing the Acquiring Fund Shares in connection with such exchange; Acquiring Fund Shares distributed to Target Fund Shareholders will be reflected on the books of the Acquiring Fund as uncertificated shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TRANSFER TAXES. Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of the Acquiring Fund Shares in a name other than the registered holder of the Target Fund shares on the books of the Target Fund as of the Closing shall, as a condition of such issuance and transfer, be paid by the person to whom such Acquiring Fund Shares are to be issued and transferred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;REPORTING RESPONSIBILITY. Any reporting responsibility of the Target Fund is and shall remain the responsibility of the Target Fund up to and including the Closing Date (as defined below) and such later date on which the Target Fund is terminated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TERMINATION. The Trust shall take all necessary and appropriate steps under applicable law to terminate the Target Fund promptly following the Closing and the making of all distributions pursuant to paragraph 1.4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WAIVER OF INVESTMENT MINIMUMS AND SALES LOADS.

The value of the Target Fund's assets to be acquired by the Acquiring Fund and the amount of the Target Fund's liabilities to be assumed by the Acquiring Fund shall be computed as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange on the Closing Date (the "**Valuation Time**"), using the valuation procedures of the Funds approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust ("**Valuation Procedures**") or such other valuation procedures as shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;VALUATION OF SHARES.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SHARES TO BE ISSUED.

Holders of each class of shares of the Target Fund will receive full and fractional shares of the corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund, as set forth on <u>Exhibit A</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DETERMINATION OF VALUE.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DELIVERY OF ASSETS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Target Fund is not, and the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement will not result, in violation of any provision of the Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as amended and restated (the "**Declaration of Trust**"), the Trust's Amended and Restated By-Laws, or any material agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease, or other undertaking to which the Target Fund is a party or by which it is bound.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Target Fund has no material contracts or other commitments (other than this Agreement) that will be terminated with liability to it on or prior to the Closing, except for liabilities, if any, to be discharged as provided in paragraph 1.3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as otherwise disclosed in writing to and accepted by the Acquiring Fund, no litigation, administrative proceeding, or investigation of or before any court or

governmental body is presently pending or to its knowledge threatened against the Target Fund or any of its properties or assets or any person whom the Target Fund may be obligated to indemnify in connection with such litigation, proceeding or investigation, which, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect the Target Fund's financial condition, the conduct of its business, or the ability of the Target Fund to carry out the Reorganization. The Target Fund knows of no facts that might form the basis for the institution of such proceedings and is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, decree, or judgment of any court or governmental body that materially and adversely affects its business or its ability to consummate the Reorganization or the transactions contemplated herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The audited financial statements of the Target Fund dated [ ] 2025 and for the period then ended have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and such statements (copies of which have been furnished to the Acquiring Fund) fairly reflect the financial condition of the Target Fund as of such date, and there are no known contingent liabilities of the Target Fund as of such date not disclosed therein.

For the purposes of this subparagraph (h), a decline in the net asset value of the Target Fund shall not constitute a material adverse change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All federal, state, local and other tax returns and reports of the Target Fund required by law to be filed by it (taking into account permitted extensions for filing) have been timely filed and are complete and correct in all material respects.

Fund paid tax under Section 852(b)(3)(A) of the Code) (as such terms are defined in the Code), in each case that has accrued or will accrue on or prior to the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the Closing, the Target Fund will have good and marketable title to the Target Fund's assets to be transferred to the Acquiring Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.2 and full right, power, and authority to sell, assign, transfer, and deliver such assets hereunder, and, upon delivery and payment for such assets, the Acquiring Fund will acquire good and marketable title, subject to no restrictions on the full transfer, including such restrictions as might arise under the 1933 Act, other than as disclosed to the Acquiring Fund and accepted by the Acquiring Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement do not require authorization by the Trust's Board of Trustees on behalf of the Target Fund, and upon execution constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Trust on behalf of the Target Fund, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The information furnished by the Acquiring Fund for use in no-action letters, applications for orders, registration statements, proxy materials, and other documents that may be necessary in connection with the Reorganization is accurate and complete in all material respects and complies in all material respects with applicable federal securities and other laws and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Prospectus/Information Statement included in the Registration Statement (only as it relates to the Acquiring Fund) does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Acquiring Fund agrees to use all reasonable efforts to obtain the approvals and authorizations required by the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act, and such of the state Blue Sky or securities laws as it may deem appropriate in order to continue its operations after the Closing Date.

ARTICLE V

COVENANTS OF THE ACQUIRING FUND AND THE TARGET FUND

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OPERATION IN ORDINARY COURSE. The Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund each will operate its business in the ordinary course between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, it being understood that such ordinary course of business will include purchases and redemptions of shares, customary dividends and distributions, and any other distributions necessary or desirable to avoid federal income or excise taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION. The Target Fund covenants that the Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued are not being acquired for the purpose of making any distribution other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, none of the Trust, the Target Fund, or the Acquiring Fund shall take any action or cause any action to be taken (including without limitation the filing of any tax return) that is inconsistent with such treatment or results in the failure of the transaction to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. At or prior to the Closing, the parties to this Agreement will take such reasonable action, or cause such action to be taken, as is reasonably necessary to enable Perkins Coie LLP to render the tax opinion contemplated in this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

FURTHER CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OBLIGATIONS OF THE ACQUIRING FUND AND THE TARGET FUND

If any of the conditions set forth below have not been satisfied at or before the Closing with respect to the Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund, the other Fund shall, at its option, not be required to consummate the Reorganization:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the Closing Date, the Commission shall not have issued an unfavorable report under Section 25(b) of the 1940 Act, or instituted any proceeding seeking to enjoin the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under Section 25(c) of the 1940 Act, and no action, suit, or other proceeding shall be threatened or pending before any court or governmental agency in which it is sought to restrain or prohibit, or obtain damages or other relief in connection with, this Agreement or the Reorganization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All required consents of other parties and all other consents, orders, and permits of federal, state, and local regulatory authorities (including those of the Commission and of state Blue Sky securities authorities, including any necessary "no-action" positions of and exemptive orders from such federal and state authorities) to permit consummation of the Reorganization shall have been obtained, except where failure to obtain any such consent, order, or permit would not involve a risk of a material adverse effect on the assets or properties of the Acquiring Fund or the Target Fund, provided that either party may for itself waive any of such conditions.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registration Statement shall have become effective under the 1933 Act, no stop orders suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and, to the best knowledge of the parties, no investigation or proceeding for that purpose shall have been instituted or be pending, threatened, or contemplated under the 1933 Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior to the Valuation Time, the Trust, with respect to the Target Fund, shall have declared and paid a dividend or dividends which, together with all previous such dividends, shall have the effect of distributing to the Target Fund's shareholders at least all of the Target Fund's investment company taxable income (within the meaning of Section 852(b)(2) of the Code) for all taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid), the excess of the Target Fund's interest income excludable from gross income under Section 103(a) of the Code over its disallowed deductions under Sections 265 and 171(a)(2) of the Code for all taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date, and all of the Target Fund's net capital gain (as defined in Section 1222(11) of the Code) realized in all taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date (after reduction for any available capital loss carryforward and excluding any net capital gain on which the Target Fund paid tax under Section 852(b)(3)(A) of the Code).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each of the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund shall have received an opinion of Perkins Coie LLP substantially to the effect that, for federal income tax purposes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The transfer by the Target Fund of all its assets to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the Target Fund, immediately followed by the pro rata, by class, distribution of all the Acquiring Fund Shares so received by the Target Fund to the Target Fund's shareholders of record in complete liquidation of the Target Fund and the termination of the Target Fund as soon as practicable thereafter, will constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, and the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund will each be "a party to a reorganization," within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code, with respect to the Reorganization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund upon the receipt of all the assets of the Target Fund solely in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the Target Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund upon the transfer of all its assets to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the Target Fund or upon the distribution (whether actual or constructive) of the Acquiring Fund Shares so received to the Target Fund's shareholders solely in exchange for such shareholders' shares of the Target Fund in complete liquidation of the Target Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund's shareholders upon the exchange, pursuant to this Agreement, of all their shares of the Target Fund solely for Acquiring Fund Shares.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The aggregate basis of the Acquiring Fund Shares received by each Target Fund shareholder pursuant to this Agreement will be the same as the aggregate basis of the Target Fund shares exchanged therefor by such shareholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The holding period of the Acquiring Fund Shares received by each Target Fund shareholder in the Reorganization will include the period during which the shares of the Target Fund exchanged therefor were held by such shareholder, provided that such Target Fund shares were held as capital assets at the Effective Time of the Reorganization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The basis of the assets of the Target Fund received by the Acquiring Fund will be the same as the basis of such assets in the hands of the Target Fund immediately before the Effective Time of the Reorganization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The holding period of the assets of the Target Fund received by the Acquiring Fund will include the period during which such assets were held by the Target Fund.

No opinion will be expressed as to (1) the effect of the Reorganization on the Acquiring Fund, the Target Fund, or any Target Fund shareholder with respect to any asset (including without limitation any stock held in a passive foreign investment company as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code) as to which any unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized for federal income tax purposes (i) at the end of a taxable year or upon the termination thereof, or (ii) upon the transfer of such asset regardless of whether such transfer would otherwise be a non-taxable transaction under the Code, or (2) any other federal tax issues (except those set forth above) and all state, local or foreign tax issues of any kind.

Such opinion shall be based on customary assumptions, limitations, and such representations as Perkins Coie LLP may reasonably request. The Target Fund and Acquiring Fund will cooperate to make and certify the accuracy of such representations. Such opinion may contain such assumptions and limitations as shall be in the opinion of such counsel appropriate to render the opinions expressed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Acquiring Fund nor the Target Fund may waive the conditions set forth in this paragraph 8.5.

ARTICLE IX

EXPENSES

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Target Fund will pay the expenses incurred in connection with the Reorganization ("**Reorganization Expenses**") to the extent the Target Fund's projected cost savings during the first year following the Reorganization exceed such Reorganization Expenses. Reorganization Expenses include, without limitation: (a) expenses incurred in connection with the entering into and the carrying out of the provisions of this Agreement; (b) expenses associated with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and any subsequent amendments thereof, filings of the Prospectus/Information Statement therein, and correspondence related to Commission comment thereon; (c) registration or qualification fees and expenses of preparing and filing such forms as are necessary under applicable state securities laws to qualify the Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued in each state in which the Target Fund shareholders are residents as of the date of the mailing of the Prospectus/Information Statement to such shareholders; (d) postage; (e) printing; (f) accounting fees, including any special billings

------

imposed by a Fund's auditor in connection with the Registration Statement; (g) legal fees; and (h) other related administrative or operational costs. Reorganization Expenses shall be deemed "Non-Capped Expenses" as defined in the Expense Limitation Agreement by and between Curi Capital, LLC (the "**Adviser**") and the Trust, on behalf of each Fund. The Adviser will pay the Reorganization Expenses to the extent the Reorganization Expenses exceed the Target Fund's projected cost savings during the first year following the Reorganization. If the Reorganization is not consummated, the Adviser will bear full responsibility for payment of the Reorganization Expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing, Reorganization Expenses will in any event be paid by the party directly incurring such Reorganization Expenses if and to the extent that the payment by another party of such Reorganization Expenses would result in the disqualification of the Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund, as the case may be, as a regulated investment company within the meaning of Section 851 of the Code.

ARTICLE X

ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SURVIVAL OF WARRANTIES

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund agree that neither party has made any representation, warranty, or covenant not set forth in this Agreement and that this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Funds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The representations, warranties, and covenants contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall not survive the consummation of the Reorganization, except for such covenants which, by their terms, are required to be performed following the Closing.

ARTICLE XI

TERMINATION

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Agreement may be terminated by the mutual agreement of the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund. In addition, the Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund or the Target Fund, may at its option terminate this Agreement at or prior to the Closing because:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of a breach by any party of any representation, warranty, or agreement contained in this Agreement to be performed at or prior to the Closing, if not cured within thirty (30) days of notification to the breaching party and prior to the Closing; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a condition in this Agreement expressed to be precedent to the obligations of the terminating party has not been met or waived and it reasonably appears that it will not or cannot be met.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;upon the occurrence of an event which has a material adverse effect upon the Reorganization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[Intentionally omitted].

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event of any such termination, in the absence of willful default, there shall be no liability for damages on the part of the Acquiring Fund, the Target Fund, the Trust, or its Trustees or officers to any other party, including, without limitation, consequential damages.

ARTICLE XII

AMENDMENTS

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Agreement may be amended, modified, or supplemented in such manner as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by the authorized officers of the Trust.

ARTICLE XIII

HEADINGS; COUNTERPARTS; GOVERNING LAW; ASSIGNMENT; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Article and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions of that state; provided that, in the case of any conflict between those laws and the federal securities laws, the latter shall govern.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Funds and their respective successors and assigns, but no assignment, transfer, or any rights or obligations of this Agreement shall be made by any Fund without the written consent of the other Fund. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give any person, firm, or corporation, other than the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With respect to the Trust, the names used in this Agreement refer respectively to the Trust and the Funds and, as the case may be, the Trustees, as trustees but not individually or personally, acting under the Declaration of Trust, which is filed with the Secretary of the State of Delaware and also on file at the principal office of the Trust. The obligations of the Trust entered into in the name or on behalf of any of the Trustees, representatives, or agents of the Trust, are made not individually, but in such capacities, and are not binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, or representatives of the Trust personally, but bind only the property of the applicable Fund, and all persons dealing with the Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund must look solely to property belonging to the Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund, as the case may be, for the enforcement of any claims against the Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust organized in series of which each Fund is one such series, and the Trust is executing this Agreement with respect to each of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund. Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust and Section 3804(a) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, there is a limitation on liabilities of each series such that (a) the

------

debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a Fund are enforceable against the assets of that Fund only, and not against the assets of the Trust generally or the assets of any other series thereof and (b) none of the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to the Trust generally or any other series thereof are enforceable against the assets of the Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund.

ARTICLE XIV

MISCELLANEOUS

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NO BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVAL REQUIRED. For the avoidance of doubt, references in this Agreement to actions or approvals by the "Trust" or "Funds" do not require, and shall not be construed to require, approval by the Board of Trustees of the Trust in connection with the Reorganization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;IMPERMISSIBLE SECURITIES; PRE-CLOSING PORTFOLIO POSITIONING. The Acquiring Fund will advise the Target Fund promptly after the date hereof and up to the Closing if the Target Fund holds any securities or other assets that the Acquiring Fund is not permitted to acquire or to hold immediately after the Closing under its investment policies, investment restrictions, or applicable law. Based on, and contingent upon the accuracy of, such information from the Acquiring Fund, the Target Fund will, prior to the Valuation Time, use commercially reasonable efforts to dispose of any such assets to the extent reasonably necessary so that, after giving effect to the Reorganization, the Acquiring Fund will be in compliance in all material respects with its diversification and other investment restrictions; provided, however, that the Target Fund shall not be required to dispose of any assets if such disposition would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability to obtain the tax opinion contemplated by this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS TAIL COVERAGE. From and after the Closing and for a period of not less than six (6) years thereafter, the Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, shall arrange for the provision of continued liability coverage under the Trust's current directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance policy (or comparable "run-off" or tail coverage) for the benefit of any former and/or current trustees and officers of the Target Fund with respect to actions taken in their capacities as such prior to the Closing. Any related costs and expenses for such coverage shall be borne in accordance with the expense allocation provisions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RIGHTS OF INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. All rights to indemnification and all limitations of liability existing in favor of any current or former trustees and officers of the Target Fund, acting in their capacities as such, shall survive the Reorganization and shall continue in full force and effect, without amendment, and may be asserted against the Acquiring Fund, its successors or assigns.

*\*With respect to the Fundamental Investment Restriction on "Borrowing and Issuing Senior Securities," the 1940 Act currently permits each Fund to borrow from banks in an amount that may not exceed 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund's total assets at the time of borrowing. In the event that a Fund's borrowings exceed 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund's total assets, the Fund will be required to reduce the amount of its borrowings as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than three business days.*

Except with respect to 300% asset coverage for borrowing required by the 1940 Act, whenever any investment restriction states a maximum percentage of a Fund's assets that may be invested in any security, such percentage limitation will be applied only at the time the Fund acquires such security and will not be violated by subsequent increases in value relative to other assets held by the Fund.

A sector of issuers in different industries is not considered to be an industry, except as stated above with respect to the Funds.

**How to Buy Shares**

***Important information about opening a new account with the Funds***

In furtherance of the national effort to stop the funding of terrorism and to curtail money laundering, the USA PATRIOT Act and other Federal regulations require financial institutions, including mutual funds, to adopt certain policies and programs to prevent money laundering activities, including procedures to verify the identity of all investors opening new accounts. Accordingly, when opening a new account you will be required to complete the Trust's new account application and supply the Trust with certain information for all persons owning or permitted to transact in an account. This information includes: name, date of birth, taxpayer identification number and street address. Also, as required by law, the Trust employs various procedures, such as comparing the information you provide against fraud databases or requesting additional information or documentation from you, to ensure that the information supplied by you is correct. Until it has received your new account application and the required verifications are made, the Trust may reject, cancel, suspend, or limit your share purchase orders. In addition, the Trust may close your account if it is unable to verify your identity.

The Trust generally will not accept new account applications to establish an account with a non-U.S. address or for a non-resident alien. Puerto Rico, Guam and U.S. military addresses are accepted.

The table below sets forth the minimum initial and subsequent purchase amounts required for each share class and type of account.

| Automatic Investment Program, IRA and minor custodial account | $2500 | $2500 | $500 | $500 |

\*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Note: Investor Class is not available for purchase.

\*\*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Regular Account shareholders who hold shares issued to them pursuant to the IronBridge Reorganization are subject to a $1,000 minimum for subsequent investments in Class I.

The Funds' minimum investment amounts may be waived or changed at the Trust's discretion. Minimums for Class I shares are waived for automated or pre-established exchanges (including tax-free cross class exchanges); asset allocation models; fee-based wrap programs; systematic purchase exchanges or dollar cost averaging programs.

**Transaction Policies**

184633171.22 ------

*Paying for shares.* All purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and checks must be drawn on U.S. banks. Please note that cash, credit cards, traveler's checks, credit card checks, cashier's checks, starter checks from newly established checking accounts or money orders will not be accepted. For Fund shares purchased by check, if your check does not clear for any reason, your purchase will be canceled. If your purchase is canceled due to insufficient funds, an incomplete, missing or unverified new account application, or for any other reason, you will be liable for any losses or fees imposed by your bank and may be liable for losses to the Trust resulting from your canceled order. If you are a current shareholder, the Trust may redeem some or all of your shares to cover such loss.

*Third party checks.* Third party checks will not be accepted.

*Federal funds wires.* A federal funds wire transaction must total at least $5,000. Your bank may also charge a fee to send or receive wires.

*Telephone transactions.* The Trust has procedures to verify that your telephone instructions are genuine. These may include asking for identifying information and recording the call. As long as the Trust and its representatives take reasonable measures to verify the authenticity of calls, you will be held responsible for any losses caused by unauthorized telephone orders.

*Regular Investing and Dollar-Cost Averaging.* Dollar-cost averaging is the practice of making regular investments over time. When share prices are high, your investment buys fewer shares. When the share price is low, your investment buys more shares. This generally lowers the average price per share that you pay over time.

Dollar-cost averaging cannot guarantee you a profit or prevent losses in a declining market.

*Other Policies.* Under certain circumstances, the Trust reserves the right to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Suspend the offering of shares

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reject any exchange or investment order

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Change, suspend or revoke exchange privileges

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Suspend the telephone order privilege without advance notice to shareholders

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Satisfy a redemption order by paying redemption proceeds with portfolio securities or non-cash assets for certain large orders

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Suspend or postpone your right to sell Fund shares on days when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as otherwise permitted by the SEC

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Change the investment minimums or other requirements for buying or selling shares, or waive minimums and requirements for certain investors

***Redeeming Shares***

You may redeem your shares in the Funds on any business day. The proceeds are generally sent out within three business days after your order is executed. Sale proceeds may be delayed beyond the normal three business days:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In unusual circumstances where the law allows additional time if needed

184633171.22 ------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If a check you wrote to buy shares has not cleared by the time you sell the shares

If you think you will need to redeem shares soon after buying them, you can avoid the check clearing time (which may be up to 15 days) by investing by wire or certified check.

The Funds typically expect to meet redemption requests by paying out proceeds from cash or cash equivalents held in their portfolios, or by selling other portfolio holdings or borrowed under the Funds' line of credit. The Funds reserve the right to redeem "in-kind" as described under "Redemption in Kind," below. The Funds may use any of these methods of satisfying redemption requests under stressed or normal market conditions. During periods of distressed market conditions, when a significant portion of a Fund's portfolio may be comprised of less-liquid investments, a Fund may be more likely to pay proceeds by giving you securities.

***Redemption in Kind***

The Funds reserve the right to pay redeeming shareholders with large accounts securities instead of cash in certain circumstances. The Funds have elected under Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act to pay all redemptions of Fund shares by a single shareholder during any 90-day period in cash, up to the lesser of (i) $250,000 or (ii) 1% of the Fund's net assets measured as of the beginning of such 90-day period. If your shares are redeemed in kind, then you will incur transaction costs when you subsequently sell the securities distributed to you. Redemptions in kind are taxable for federal income tax purposes in the same manner as redemptions for cash.

*What is a medallion signature guarantee?* A medallion signature guarantee verifies that your signature is authentic. Most banks and financial institutions can provide you with a medallion signature guarantee, provided that the financial institution participates in the Medallion Program. Some financial institutions charge a fee, but it is usually waived if you are a customer of the financial institution. The three recognized medallion programs are Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, Stock Exchanges Medallion Program and New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program.

A notary public cannot provide a medallion signature guarantee.

You will need a medallion signature guarantee on a written request to sell shares in certain cases, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• When selling more than $50,000 worth of shares

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• When you want your check to be payable to someone other than the owner of record, or sent somewhere other than the address of record

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• When you want the proceeds sent by wire or electronic transfer to a bank account you have not designated in advance

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• When you would like a check mailed to an address that has been changed within 30 days of your redemption request

***Exchange Privilege***

You may exchange shares of your Fund at NAV for shares of the same class of another Fund in the Trust based on the Funds' respective NAVs, provided you meet the investment requirements of the Fund for which you wish to exchange your shares as described in that Fund's Prospectus under "How to Buy Shares." An exchange of shares of a fund for shares of another fund is a taxable event and has the same tax consequences as a sale or redemption. The Trust's general policy is that sales charges on investments entering the Trust should

184633171.22 ------

be applied only once. Therefore, you may exchange shares freely between Funds within the same share class without paying additional sales charges. Special tax rules may apply. See the "Federal Income Taxes" section of the SAI.

In limited circumstances, the Trust may permit beneficial holders with financial intermediary sponsored fee-based programs to exchange their shares in a particular share class of a Fund for shares in a different share class of the same Fund if the shareholder meets the eligibility requirements for that class of shares or the shareholder is otherwise eligible to purchase that class of shares. Such an exchange is generally a non-taxable exchange for federal income tax purposes. Except as noted above, exchanges must meet the investment requirements of the applicable Fund.

*Each Fund reserves the right to modify this policy in the future. The Funds may restrict or cancel the exchange privilege of any person that, in the opinion of the Funds, is using market timing strategies.*

***Excessive Trading Policy***

Frequent trades in your account or accounts controlled by you can disrupt portfolio investment strategies and increase Fund expenses, including brokerage and administrative costs, and may also dilute the value of the holdings of other shareholders of the Fund. The Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage short-term trading of Fund shares. Fund shares are not intended for market timing or excessive trading and no Fund accommodates short-term trading. The Trust or its agents reserve the right to restrict, reject, or cancel (with respect to cancellation, on the next business day after the receipt of the order), without any prior notice, any purchase orders (including exchange purchases) by any investor or group of investors indefinitely for any reason, including in particular, purchase orders that they believe are attributable to market timers or are otherwise excessive or potentially disruptive to the Funds.

This policy applies to transactions accepted by any investor's financial intermediary. In the event that an exchange request is rejected or cancelled, neither the redemption nor the purchase side of the exchange will be processed. The Trust reserves the right to delay for one business day the processing of exchange requests in the event that, in the Trust or its agents' judgment, such delay would be in a Fund's best interest, in which case both the redemption and the purchase side of the exchange will receive the Fund's NAV at the conclusion of the delay period.

Specifically, to deter market timing and excessive trading, the Trust or its agents undertake to temporarily or permanently restrict, reject, or cancel, without any prior notice, purchase and exchange orders of any investor who makes more than two exchanges (each exceeding $10,000 in value) out of a Fund within 30 days of each other.

Certain automated or pre-established exchange, asset allocation, systematic purchase, exchange or redemption, or dollar cost average programs are exempt from this policy. This policy may be modified for accounts held by certain retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits or Department of Labor regulations. These exchange limits are subject to the Trust's ability to monitor exchange activity, as discussed under "Limitations on the Ability to Detect and Curtail Excessive Trading Practices" below. In applying this policy, the Trust considers the information available to it at the time and may consider trading done in multiple accounts known to be under common ownership, control or influence.

*Limitations on the Ability to Detect and Curtail Excessive Trading Practices.* Shareholders seeking to engage in excessive trading practices may deploy a variety of strategies to avoid detection and, despite the best efforts of the Trust to prevent excessive trading, there is no guarantee that the Trust or its agents will be able to

184633171.22 ------

identify such shareholders or curtail their trading practices. The Trust receives Fund purchase, exchange and redemption orders through financial intermediaries and cannot always know or reasonably detect excessive trading that may be facilitated by these intermediaries or by the use of omnibus account arrangements offered by these intermediaries to investors. Omnibus account arrangements are common forms of holding shares of a Fund, particularly among financial intermediaries such as brokers, retirement plans and variable insurance products. These arrangements often permit financial intermediaries to aggregate their clients' share ownership positions and to purchase, redeem and exchange Fund shares where the identity of the particular shareholder(s) is not known to a Fund.

***Small Account Balances***

The Trust reserves the right to close your account upon 60 days' notice if, due to redemptions and not as a result of a decline in market value, your balance is less than the minimum initial investment amount applicable to such share class and account type. If the Trust redeems your shares and closes your account, you may recognize a gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

***Escheatment of Shares to States***

If no account activity occurs in your account within the time period specified by applicable state law, the assets in your account may be considered abandoned and transferred (also known as "escheated") to the appropriate state. The escheatment time period varies by state. The Trust is not responsible for notifying shareholders if or when a state may escheat an investor's shares of a Fund.

To help protect their accounts, shareholders should keep their accounts up-to-date and active, which may include calling the Fund at 1-800-462-2392 to generate shareholder initiated activity such as completing an account transaction. Investors who are residents of the state of Texas may designate a representative to receive legislatively required unclaimed property due diligence notifications. Please contact the Fund to complete a Texas Designation of Representative form.

***Systematic Withdrawal Plan***

A systematic withdrawal plan ("SWP") is available for shareholders who maintain an account balance at least equal to the greater of: (i) the minimum initial investment amount applicable to your share class and account type or (ii) $5,000, and who want to receive a specific amount of cash in amounts not less than $50 either monthly, quarterly, or annually. You may subscribe to this service by contacting your account executive, or by contacting the shareholder service agent at 1-800-462-2392.

The Trust's transfer agent will redeem a sufficient number of your shares, held in book-entry form, at the NAV at the close of business of the NYSE on or about the 20th day of each payment month. A check will be mailed to you no later than three business days following the date on which the shares are redeemed. SWPs are taxable transactions that have the same tax consequences as other redemptions.

***Household Delivery of Fund Documents***

With your consent, the Trust may send a single prospectus and shareholder report to your residence for you and any other member of your household who has an account with the Trust. If you want to revoke your consent to this practice, you may do so by notifying the Trust, by phone or in writing as set forth below. The Trust will begin mailing separate prospectuses and shareholder reports to you within 30 days after receiving your notice.

***Distribution Arrangements***

If you want to revoke your consent to this practice, you may do so by notifying the Trust, by phone or in writing as set forth below. The Trust will begin mailing separate prospectuses and shareholder reports to you within 30 days after receiving your notice.

*Payments to Financial Intermediaries.* From time to time, the Adviser, the Distributor or an affiliate may enter into arrangements with brokers or other financial intermediaries pursuant to which such parties agree to perform sub-transfer agent, record-keeping, administrative or other services on behalf of their clients who are shareholders of the Funds. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Adviser, the Distributor or an affiliate may make payments to financial intermediaries for services provided to clients who hold shares of the Funds through omnibus accounts. In addition, the Adviser, the Distributor or an affiliate may pay additional compensation to certain financial intermediaries to compensate the intermediary for distribution and marketing services, including the opportunity to distribute the Funds. For example, the Adviser, the Distributor or an affiliate may compensate financial intermediaries for providing the Funds with "shelf space" or access to a third-party platform or fund offering list or other marketing programs, including, without limitation, inclusion of the Funds on preferred or recommended sales lists, mutual fund "supermarket" platforms, other formal sales programs and other forms of marketing support. The amount of these payments may differ among such financial intermediaries based upon one or more of the following factors: gross sales, current assets, the number of accounts of a Fund held by the financial intermediaries or other factors agreed to by the parties. The receipt of (or prospect of receiving) such compensation may provide the intermediary and its salespersons with an incentive to favor sales of Fund shares over other investment alternatives. You may wish to consider whether such arrangements exist when evaluating recommendations from an intermediary.

**A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;General Information**

This SAI relates to the (i) transfer of all the assets of the RMB Small Cap Fund (the "Target Fund") to the RMB SMID Cap Fund (the "Acquiring Fund") in exchange solely for Class I shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the Target Fund; and (ii) the pro rata distribution by class of the Acquiring Fund's shares to the Target Fund's shareholders in complete liquidation and termination of the Target Fund. The Reorganization is expected to be completed on April 24, 2026.

Further information is included in the Prospectus/Information Statement and in the documents listed below, which are incorporated by reference into this SAI. Copies of the Prospectus/Information Statement and the documents listed below may be obtained upon request, and without charge, by writing to RMB Investors Trust at P.O.

**C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)**

The unaudited *pro forma* financial information set forth below is for informational purposes only as of a specific point in time in the past, and does not purport to represent the financial condition as a result of the completion of the Reorganization. Actual financial information will depend on market conditions at the time of the Reorganization and may vary significantly from the information shown, particularly in light of uncertainties regarding the current health crisis resulting from the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 and the economic and financial repercussions of such crisis. These *pro forma* numbers have been estimated in good faith based on information regarding the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund as of December 31, 2025.

**Narrative Description of the Pro Forma Effects of the Reorganization**

**Note 1-Reorganization**

The unaudited *pro forma* information has been prepared to give effect to the proposed reorganization of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") as if the Reorganization had occurred as of the beginning of the 12-month period ended December 31, 2025.

**Note 2-Basis of Pro Forma**

The Reorganization will be accounted for as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes; therefore, no gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund or its shareholders as a direct result of the Reorganization. The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are both series of the same registered open-end management investment company. The Reorganization will be accomplished by the transfer of all the shares.

184633171.22 ------

The table below shows the number of shares of each class of the Acquiring Fund that Target Fund shareholders would have received had the Reorganization occurred on December 31, 2025.

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Target Fund Share Class** | **Acquiring Fund Shares Issued** | **Acquiring Fund Share Class** |
| Investor Class | N/A | Investor Class |
| Class I | 12,166,534 | Class I |

---

In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, for financial reporting purposes, the historical cost basis of the investments received from the Target Fund will be carried forward to the surviving fund (which will be the Acquiring Fund). The table below sets forth the net assets of each Fund and the *pro forma* net assets of the combined Fund as of December 31, 2025.

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Fund** | **Net Assets** | **As of Date** |
| RMB Small Cap Fund (Target Fund) | $129330260 | December 31, 2025 |
| RMB SMID Cap Fund (Acquiring Fund) | $70183080 | December 31, 2025 |
| RMB SMID Cap Fund (Pro Forma Combined Fund) | $199513340 | December 31, 2025 |

**Note 3-Pro Forma Expense Adjustments**

The table below reflects adjustments to annual expenses made to the *pro forma* Fund financial information as if the Reorganization had been in effect on the first day of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 using the fees and expenses information shown in the Prospectus/Information Statement. The *pro forma* information has been derived from the books and records used in calculating daily net asset values of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund and has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect this information. Percentages presented below are the increase (decrease) in expenses divided by the average net assets for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Actual results could differ from those estimates. No other significant *pro forma* effects are expected to result from the Reorganization.

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Average net assets are for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Average net assets are for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

------

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Investment Advisory fee rate of the Acquiring Fund is fixed at 0.70% of average daily net assets and is lower than the Investment Advisory fee rate of the Target Fund, which is fixed at 0.85% of average daily net assets.

(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reflects elimination of certain duplicative fixed costs incurred at the fund level resulting in an anticipated (reduction) of expenses as a result of the Reorganization.

No significant accounting policies will change as a result of the Reorganization, specifically policies regarding security valuation or compliance with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. No significant changes to any existing contracts of the Acquiring Fund are expected as a result of the Reorganization.

**Note 4-Portfolio Repositioning**

While there is a high degree of overlap between the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, prior to the Reorganization, the Target Fund may trim certain of its holdings in anticipation of the Reorganization. While any such repositioning is expected to be limited, there may be minimal to modest transaction costs associated with these activities. Such transaction costs will be allocated to the Target Fund, to the extent such costs, together with other expenses connected to the Reorganization, do not exceed expected reductions in expenses to shareholders of the Target Fund.

**Note 5-Reorganization Costs**

The Target Fund will pay the expenses incurred in connection with the Reorganization ("Reorganization Expenses") to the extent the Target Fund's projected cost savings during the first year following the Reorganization exceed such Reorganization Expenses. Curi Capital, LLC estimates that expenses for the Reorganization will be approximately $75,000 in total. These costs represent management's estimate of professional services fees, trustees' fees and expenses, and printing costs and mailing charges related to the Reorganization. The Adviser will pay the Reorganization Expenses allocated to a Fund to the extent such allocated Reorganization Expenses exceed the Fund's projected cost savings during the first year following the Reorganization. If the Reorganization is not consummated, the Adviser will bear full responsibility for payment of the Reorganization Expenses.

**Note 6-Accounting Survivor**

The Acquiring Fund will be the accounting survivor.

**Note 7-Capital Loss Carryforwards**

As of December 31, 2025, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, neither the Target Fund nor the Acquiring Fund had capital loss carryforwards.

**PART C.**

**OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 28. Exhibits**

Reference is made to Article IV of the Registrant's Declaration of Trust (previously filed with the Registration Statement on Form N-1A (File No. 002-17226) on December 19, 2017), and Item 7 of the Distribution Agreement (previously filed with the Registration Statement on Form N-1A) (File No. 002-17226) on December 19, 2017. With respect to the Registrant, the general effect of these provisions is to indemnify any person (Trustee, director, officer, employee or agent, among others) who was or is a party to any proceeding by reason of their actions performed in their official or duly authorized capacity on behalf of the Trust. With respect to the distributor, the general effect of the relevant provisions is to indemnify those entities for claims arising out of any untrue statement or material fact contained in the Funds' Registration Statement, reports to shareholders or advertising and sales literature.

Pursuant to Rule 484 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "1933 Act") the Registrant furnishes the following undertaking: "Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue."
