**HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?**

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500\* Index.

**WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE**

The Fund continued to benefit from its exposure to leading innovators across artificial intelligence, automation, and other enabling technologies, which remained key drivers of equity market returns over the period. Market leadership was again highly concentrated, with the largest platform-scale companies exerting outsized influence on broad index performance. Several of the Fund's top contributors—such as GE Vernova, Applied Materials, and Alphabet—performed well due to strengthening demand for AI-related infrastructure and ongoing recovery in platform ecosystems. Growth-oriented equities generally outperformed Value, though with a narrower margin than in recent years, reflecting shifting macro expectations and sector rotations. The managers maintained a balanced approach by pairing innovation-driven positions with diversified exposures to unrelated opportunities, especially given elevated market concentration and intermittent volatility. The Fund continues to hold a cash reserve to balance risk and serve as dry powder when meaningful market drawdowns present attractive buying opportunities. The Fund held a slight lead over the S&P 500 benchmark through October 31, 2025, but fell behind in the remaining two months of the 2025 calendar year, largely given underperformance of certain Software-related positions (e.g., Microsoft, Amazon, and Palo Alto Networks).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Not applicable.

**<u>Item 2. Code of Ethics.</u>**

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The registrant has not made any substantive amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

*A copy of the registrant's Code of Ethics is filed herewith.*

**<u>Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.</u>**

The registrant's Board of Trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Mr. Joe D.

**<u>Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.</u>**

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. "Audit services" refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. "Audit-related services" refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. "Tax services" refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant including the review of federal income tax returns, review of federal excise tax returns, review of state tax returns, if any, and assistance with calculation of required income, capital gain and excise distributions. There were no "other services" provided by the principal accountant. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

| (a) Audit Fees | $17500 | $17500 |
| (b) Audit-Related Fees | N/A | N/A |
| (c) Tax Fees | $3600 | $3600 |

(e)(1) The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.

(e)(2) The percentage of fees billed by Tait, Weller & Baker LLP applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | FYE 12/31/2025 | FYE 12/31/2024 |
| Audit-Related Fees | 0% | 0% |
| Tax Fees | 0% | 0% |
| All Other Fees | 0% | 0% |

---

(f) During the audit of the registrant's financial statements, 100 percent of the hours were attributed to work performed by persons other than full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

(g) The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant's accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant's investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years.

 

<u>Non-Audit Related Fees</u> <u>FYE 12/31/2025</u> <u>FYE 12/31/2024</u> <br> Registrant N/A N/A <br> <u>Registrant's Investment Adviser</u> <u>N/A</u> <u>N/A</u>

(h) The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant's independence.

(i) The registrant has not been identified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as having filed an annual report issued by a registered public accounting firm branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction where the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board is unable to inspect or completely investigate because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction.

(j) The registrant is not a foreign issuer.

**CAPITAL ADVISORS GROWTH FUND** 

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**at December 31, 2025** 

**NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION** 

The Capital Advisors Growth Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of Advisors Series Trust (the "Trust"), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services – Investment Companies." The Fund began operations on December 31, 1999. The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital growth.

**NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. *Security Valuation*:
 All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. *Federal Income Taxes*: It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
 regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income
 or excise tax provision is required.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The tax returns of the Fund's prior three fiscal years are open for examination. Management has reviewed all open tax years in major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no impact on the Fund's net assets and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax events relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal and the state of Wisconsin. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. *Security Transactions, Income and Distributions*: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold
 are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income, income and capital gain
 distributions from underlying funds, and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign
 dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates.

The Fund distributes substantially all net investment income, if any, and net realized gains, if any, annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes.

The amount of dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To the extent these book/tax differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax treatment.

Common expenses of the Trust are typically allocated among the funds in the Trust based on a fund's respective net assets, or by other equitable means.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. *Reclassification of Capital Accounts:* Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of
 net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect
 on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no reclassifications between paid-in
 capital and distributable earnings.

**CAPITAL ADVISORS GROWTH FUND** 

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**at December 31, 2025(Continued)** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. *Use of Estimates:* The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
 management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
 and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
 estimates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F. *REITs:* The Fund is able to make certain investments in real estate investment trusts ("REITs") which pay dividends to their shareholders
 based upon available funds from operations. It is quite common for these dividends to exceed the REITs' taxable earnings and profits
 resulting in the excess portion being designated as a return of capital. The Fund intends to include the gross dividends from such REITs
 in its annual distributions to its shareholders and, accordingly, a portion of the Fund's distributions may also be designated as
 a return of capital.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;G. *Redemption Fees*: Prior to April 28, 2023, the Fund charged a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders who redeemed shares held 7 days or
 less. Such fees were retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. Effective April 28, 2023, the Fund
 removed redemption fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;H. *Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Year End:* In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2025, management considered the impact of
 subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Management has determined there were no subsequent
 events that would need to be disclosed in the Fund's financial statements.

**NOTE 3 – SECURITIES VALUATION** 

The Fund has adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for a majority of security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

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

---

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

---

---

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

---

Following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The Fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (4:00 pm EST).

Equity Securities: The Fund's investments are carried at fair value. Equity securities, including common stocks and exchange-traded funds, that are primarily traded on a national securities exchange shall be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded on the day of valuation or, if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation, or if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter securities which are not traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System shall be valued at the most recent sales price. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

**CAPITAL ADVISORS GROWTH FUND** 

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**at December 31, 2025(Continued)** 

Investment Companies: Investments in open-end mutual funds, including money market funds, are generally priced at their net asset value per share provided by the service agent of the funds and will be classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Short-Term Securities: Short-term debt securities, including those securities having a maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at the evaluated mean between the bid and asked prices. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, these securities would be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Board of Trustees (the "Board") has adopted a valuation policy for use by the Fund and its Valuation Designee (as defined below) in calculating the Fund's net asset value ("NAV"). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund's investment advisor, Capital Advisors, Inc. ("Advisor"), as the "Valuation Designee" to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5, subject to the Board's oversight. The Advisor, as Valuation Designee, is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair values of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable.

Depending on the relative significance of the valuation inputs, fair valued securities may be classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's securities as of December 31, 2025:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Level 1** | **Level 2** | **Level 3** | **Total**  |
| Common Stocks | $148389778 | $— | $— | $148389778  |
| Money Market Funds | 11781498 |  |  | 11781498  |
| **Total Investments** | $160171276 | $— | $— | $160171276 |

Accounting Pronouncements – In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). Management has evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures with respect to the financial statements and disclosures and determined there is no material impact for the Fund. The Fund operates as a single segment entity. The Fund's income, expenses, assets, and performance are regularly monitored and assessed by the Advisor's Management Committee, consisting of the Chief Compliance Officer and Co-Managers of the Fund, who serve as the Chief Operating Decision Maker, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. Effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, the amendments require greater disaggregation of disclosures related to income taxes paid. The ASU allows for early adoption and amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Management has evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 and determined there is no material impact on the Fund's financial statements.

**NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES** 

The Advisor provides the Fund with investment management services under an investment advisory agreement. The Advisor furnishes all investment advice, office space, facilities, and provides most of the personnel needed by the Fund. As compensation for its services, the Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.75% based upon the Fund's average daily net assets on the first $50 million of assets under management and 0.65% of the Fund's average daily net assets thereafter. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund incurred $1,009,190 in advisory fees.

The Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce fees payable to it by the Fund and to pay Fund operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and other class-specific expense) to the extent necessary to limit the Fund's aggregate annual operating expenses to 1.00% of average daily net assets.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **December 31, 2025** | **December 31, 2024**  |

**NOTE 7 – PRINCIPAL RISKS** 

Below is a summary of some, but not all, of the principal risks of investing in the Fund, each of which may adversely affect the Fund's net asset value and total return. The Fund's most recent prospectus provides further descriptions of the Fund's investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *General Market Risk* – Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the
 likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.
 Securities in the Fund's portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial
 market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including: inflation (or expectations for inflation); interest rates;

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**at December 31, 2025(Continued)** 

global demand for particular products or resources; natural disasters or events; pandemic diseases; terrorism; regulatory events; and government controls. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors, which has resulted in disruptions to business operations and supply chains, stress on the global healthcare system, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, staffing shortages and the inability to meet consumer demand, and widespread concern and uncertainty. Continuing uncertainties regarding interest rates, rising inflation, political events, rising government debt in the U.S. and trade tensions also contribute to market volatility. Conflict, loss of life and disaster connected to ongoing armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia in Europe and Israel and Hamas in the Middle East could have severe adverse effects on the region, including significant adverse effects on the regional or global economies and the markets for certain securities. The U.S. and the European Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may continue to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Grow *th-Style Investing Risk* – Over time, a growth-oriented investing style may go in and out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform
 other equity funds that use different investing styles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Non-U.S. Investment Risk* – Foreign securities can be more volatile than domestic (U.S.) securities. Securities markets of other countries are
 generally smaller than U.S. securities markets. Many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities, which
 could affect the Fund's investments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Depositary Receipt Risk* – The risks of depository receipts include many risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities,
 such as individual country risk and liquidity risk. Unsponsored ADRs, which are issued by a depositary bank without the participation
 or consent of the issuer, involve additional risks because U.S. reporting requirements do not apply, and the issuing bank will recover
 shareholder distribution costs from movement of share prices and payment of dividends.

**NOTE 8 – CONTROL OWNERSHIP** 

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly of more than 25% of the voting securities of the Fund creates a presumption of control of the Fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of December 31, 2025, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. and National Financial Services LLC, for the benefit of their customers, owned 70.08% and 25.95%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

**NOTE 9 – TRUSTEES**

Effective December 31, 2025, Joe Redwine retired from the Board.

**To the Board of Trustees Advisors Series Trust and** 

**Shareholders of Capital Advisors Growth Fund** 

**Opinion on the Financial Statements** 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Capital Advisors Growth Fund (the "Fund"), a series of Advisors Series Trust (the "Trust"), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2025, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2025, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion** 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 2003.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2025 by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

At meetings held on October 22, 2025 and December 11-12, 2025, the Board (which is comprised of five persons, all of whom are Independent Trustees as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), considered and approved, for another annual term, the continuance of the investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between Advisors Series Trust (the "Trust") and Capital Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") on behalf of the Capital Advisors Growth Fund (the "Fund"). At both meetings, the Board received and reviewed substantial information regarding the Fund, the Advisor and the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. This information, together with the information provided to the Board throughout the course of the year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board's determinations. Below is a summary of the factors considered by the Board and the conclusions that formed the basis for the Board's approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. T he
 nature, extent and quality of the services provided and to be provided by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered
 the nature, extent and quality of the Advisor's overall services provided to the Fund, as well as its specific responsibilities
 in all aspects of day-to-day investment management of the Fund. The Board considered the qualifications, experience and responsibilities
 of the portfolio managers, as well as the responsibilities of other key personnel of the Advisor involved in the day-to-day activities
 of the Fund. The Board also considered the resources and compliance structure of the Advisor, including information regarding its compliance
 program, its chief compliance officer and the Advisor's compliance record, as well as the Advisor's cybersecurity program,
 AI use policy, liquidity risk management program, valuation procedures, business continuity plan, and risk management process. The Board
 further considered the prior relationship between the Advisor and the Trust, as well as the Board's knowledge of the Advisor's
 operations, and noted that during the course of the prior year they had met with certain personnel of the Advisor to discuss the Fund's
 performance and investment outlook as well as various compliance topics and fund marketing/distribution. The Board concluded that the
 Advisor had the quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment processes and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing
 its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that they were satisfied with the nature, overall quality and extent of such management services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. T he
 Fund's historical performance and the overall performance of the Advisor. In assessing the quality of the portfolio management
 delivered by the Advisor, the Board reviewed the short-term and long-term performance of the Fund as of June 30, 2025, on both an absolute
 basis and a relative basis in comparison to its peer funds utilizing a Morningstar classification, an appropriate securities market benchmark,
 a cohort that is comprised of similarly managed funds selected by an independent third-party consulting firm engaged by the Board to assist
 it in its 15(c) review (the "Cohort"), and the Advisor's similarly managed accounts. While the Board considered both
 short-term and long-term performance, it placed greater emphasis on longer term performance. When reviewing performance against the comparative
 Morningstar peer group universe, the Board took into account that the investment objective and strategies of the Fund, as well as its
 level of risk tolerance, may differ significantly from funds in the peer universe. When reviewing the Fund's performance against
 a broad market benchmark, the Board took into account the differences in portfolio construction between the Fund and such benchmark as
 well as other differences between actively managed funds and passive benchmarks, such as objectives and risks. In assessing periods of
 relative underperformance or

**Additional Information(Continued)** 

outperformance, the Board took into account that relative performance can be significantly impacted by performance measurement periods and that some periods of underperformance may be transitory in nature while others may reflect more significant underlying issues.

The Board noted that the Fund outperformed the average of the Morningstar peer group for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2025. The Board noted that the Fund outperformed the average of the Cohort for the one- and three-year periods and underperformed the average for the five- and ten-year periods, all periods ended June 30, 2025. The Board reviewed the performance of the Fund against a broad-based securities market benchmark, noting that it had underperformed its benchmark for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2025.

The Board also considered any differences in performance between the similarly managed accounts of the Advisor and the performance of the Fund, noting that the Fund underperformed for the one- three-, five- and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2025, but the differences were not significant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. T he
 costs of the services to be provided by the Advisor and the structure of the Advisor's fee under the Advisory Agreement. In
 considering the advisory fee and total fees and expenses of the Fund, the Board reviewed comparisons to the Morningstar peer group, the
 Cohort, and the Advisor's similarly managed separate accounts for other types of clients, as well as all expense waivers and reimbursements.
 When reviewing fees charged to other similarly managed accounts for the Fund, the Board took into account the type of account and the
 differences in the management of that account that might be germane to the difference, if any, in the fees charged to such accounts.

The Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio for the Fund of 1.00%, excluding certain operating expenses and class-level expenses (the "Expense Cap"). The Board noted that the Fund's contractual management fee and net expense ratio were above its Cohort average and median. The Board also took into consideration the services the Advisor provides to its separately managed account clients, comparing the fees charged for those management services to the fees charged to the Fund. The Board found that the management fees charged to the Fund were generally below the management fees charged to the Advisor's separately managed account clients.

The Board determined that it would continue to monitor the appropriateness of the advisory fee for the Fund and concluded that, at this time, the fee to be paid to the Advisor was fair and reasonable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Economies
 of Scale. The Board also considered whether economies of scale were being realized by the Advisor that should be shared with shareholders.
 The Board noted that the Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its advisory fees or reimburse Fund expenses so that the Fund does
 not exceed its specified Expense Cap. The Board also noted that the advisory fee schedule has breakpoints at higher asset levels which
 is currently in effect. The Board determined that it would continue to monitor economies of scale in the future as circumstances changed
 and assuming asset levels continued to increase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. T he
 profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed the Advisor's
 financial information and took into account both the direct benefits and the indirect benefits to the Advisor from advising the Fund.
 The Board considered the profitability to the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund and considered any additional material derived
 by the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund does not have a Rule 12b-1 fee or utilize
 "soft dollars." After such review, the Board determined that the profitability to the Advisor with respect to the Advisory
 Agreement was not excessive, and that the Advisor had maintained adequate profit levels to support the services it provides to the Fund.

No single factor was determinative of the Board's decision to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for the Fund, but rather the Trustees based their determination on the total mix of information available to them. Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Trustees determined that the advisory arrangement with the Advisor, including the advisory fee, was fair and reasonable to the Fund. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, therefore determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for the Fund would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

**<u>Exhibit A</u>**

**ADVISORS SERIES TRUST**

**Code of Ethics**

**For Principal Executive Officer & Principal Financial Officer**

This Code of Ethics is designed to comply with Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") thereunder. This Code of Ethics is in addition to, not in replacement of, the Advisors Series Trust (the "Trust") Code of Ethics for access persons (the "Investment Company Code of Ethics"), adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"). The persons covered by this Code of Ethics may also be subject to the Investment Company Code of Ethics.

The Trust requires its Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, or other Trust officers performing similar functions (the "Principal Officers"), to maintain the highest ethical and legal standards while performing their duties and responsibilities to the Trust and each of its series (each a "Fund," collectively the "Funds"), with particular emphasis on those duties that relate to the preparation and reporting of the financial information of the Funds. The following principles and responsibilities shall govern the professional conduct of the Principal Officers:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. HONEST AND ETHICAL CONDUCT

The Principal Officers shall act with honesty and integrity, avoiding actual or apparent conflicts of interest in personal and professional relationships, and shall report any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such conflict between their interests and those of a Fund to the Audit Committee, the full Board of Trustees of the Trust, and, in addition, to any other appropriate person or entity that may reasonably be expected to deal with any conflict of interest in timely and expeditious manner.

The Principal Officers shall act in good faith, responsibly, with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing their independent judgment to be subordinated or compromised.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. FINANCIAL RECORDS AND REPORTING

The Principal Officers shall provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and/or other documents to be filed with or submitted to the SEC or other applicable body by a Fund, or that is otherwise publicly disclosed or communicated. The Principal Officers shall comply with applicable rules and regulations of federal, state, and local governments, and other appropriate private and public regulatory agencies.

The Principal Officers shall respect the confidentiality of information acquired in the course of their work and shall not disclose such information except when authorized or legally obligated to disclose. The Principal Officers will not use confidential information acquired in the course of their duties as Principal Officers.

The Principal Officers shall share knowledge and maintain skills important and relevant to the Trust's needs; shall proactively promote ethical behavior of the Trust's employees and as a partner with industry peers and associates; and shall maintain control over and responsibly manage assets and resources employed or entrusted to them by the Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS

The Principal Officers shall establish and maintain mechanisms to oversee the compliance of the Funds with applicable federal, state or local law, regulation or administrative rule, and to identify, report and correct in a swift and certain manner, any detected deviations from applicable federal, state or local law regulation or rule.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. COMPLIANCE WITH THIS CODE OF ETHICS

The Principal Officers shall promptly report any violations of this Code of Ethics to the Audit Committee as well as the full Board of Trustees of the Trust and shall be held accountable for strict adherence to this Code of Ethics. A proven failure to uphold the standards stated herein shall be grounds for such sanctions as shall be reasonably imposed by the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

This Code of Ethics may only be amended or modified by approval of the Board of Trustees. Any substantive amendment that is not technical or administrative in nature or any material waiver, implicit or otherwise, of any provision of this Code of Ethics, shall be communicated publicly in accordance with Item 2 of Form N-CSR under the Investment Company Act.
