**JPMorgan Trust I** 

**JPMorgan Trust II** 

**277 Park Avenue** 

**New York, NY 10172** 

[April] [10], 2023

Dear Shareholder:

You are receiving this Information Statement/Prospectus because you own shares in one or more of the following funds (each, a "Target Fund"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund, a series of JPMorgan Trust I

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• JPMorgan High Yield Municipal Fund, a series of JPMorgan Trust I

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond Fund, a series of JPMorgan Trust II

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund, a series of JPMorgan Trust II

Each Target Fund currently operates as an open-end mutual fund. These Target Funds will be reorganized into exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") though the reorganization of each Target Fund into a newly-created ETF (each an "Acquiring Fund" and together with the Target Funds, the "Funds"). ETFs are structurally different from mutual funds in several important aspects:

• A mutual fund may offer multiple share classes with different sales charges, expenses, and/or minimum
investments. An ETF will not issue multiple classes of shares.

• A mutual fund investor may purchase and redeem shares directly from the mutual fund (through a distributor or
a financial intermediary). Most ETF investors will buy and sell shares in secondary market transactions through brokers.

• A mutual fund will accept purchase and redemption orders from any shareholders, and only on days that the
mutual fund is open for business, and those orders will be effected at that day's net asset value ("NAV"). An ETF will issue or redeem shares at its NAV per share only in one or more groupings of a large specified number of shares
called a "Creation Unit," on days that the ETF is open for business. Only an ETF's "authorized participants" are permitted to engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the ETF. All other shareholders will
buy and sell shares of the ETF on an exchange at market price.

Following the reorganizations, each Target Fund will be liquidated (each such reorganization and liquidation, a "Reorganization"). The Acquiring Funds will continue to be managed by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. ("JPMIM"). Each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund have identical investment objectives and fundamental investment policies and have substantially similar investment strategies and investment risk profiles. The mutual funds and ETFs, however, will have structurally different risk profiles.

The table below sets forth each of the Acquiring Funds and the anticipated schedule for each Reorganization:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Target Fund**<br>| **Acquiring Fund**<br>| **Expected Closing<br>Date** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;JPMorgan High Yield Municipal Fund | JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF | July 14, 2023 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund | JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF | July 14, 2023 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund | JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF | July 28, 2023 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond Fund | JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond ETF | July 28, 2023 |

---

Each Reorganization will be conducted pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Liquidation, a form of which is included as Appendix A to these materials. Each Reorganization is structured to be a tax-free reorganization under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

In connection with a Reorganization, shareholders who hold their shares of a Target Fund through a brokerage account that can accept shares of an ETF will receive ETF shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund equal in value to their investment in the Target Fund, including a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares of the corresponding Acquiring

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Fund, which cash payment may be taxable. As discussed further below, some shareholders may need to take additional action in order to receive shares of an Acquiring Fund in connection with a Reorganization. However, a Reorganization will not dilute the value of your investment.

We believe each Reorganization will provide multiple benefits for investors. These benefits include:

**1)** **Lower Net Expenses:** The total annual fund operating expenses of each Acquiring Fund are expected to be lower, and in many cases significantly lower, than the net expenses of each share class of its corresponding Target Fund after taking into consideration expense limitation agreements JPMIM has entered into with each Acquiring Fund for a term of at least three years from the date of each Reorganization. 

**2)** **Additional Trading Flexibility:** Unlike mutual fund shares of a Target Fund, which can only be purchased or sold once per day based on the Target Fund's NAV, shares of the Acquiring Funds can be purchased or sold throughout a trading day on an exchange based on market prices. This additional flexibility can give Acquiring Fund shareholders a greater ability to adjust their investment allocations based on developments that may occur throughout a trading day. 

**3)** **Increased Transparency:** As a shareholder of an Acquiring Fund, you will gain the benefit of full daily transparency into the underlying portfolio holdings of your Acquiring Fund. The Target Funds do not provide full daily transparency into their underlying portfolio holdings. 

**4)** **Enhanced Tax Efficiency:**Reorganizing the JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund into JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF, which generally expects to effect its creations and redemptions in-kind, has the potential to reduce capital gains distributions and improve tax efficiency. Because the other Acquiring Funds generally expect to effect their creations and redemptions entirely (or, in the case of the JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF and the JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF, in part) on a cash basis, these Acquiring ETFs will not benefit from the enhanced tax efficiency of the ETF structure to the same extent as the JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF. The Reorganizations should still provide some enhanced tax efficiency for these Acquiring Funds, as ETFs generally experience fewer portfolio transactions than mutual funds due to the secondary market liquidity of the ETF structure. 

**5)** **Tax-Free Reorganization:** Shareholders of a Target Fund generally will not recognize a taxable gain (or loss) for U.S. tax purposes as a result of a Reorganization (except with respect to cash received, as explained in later sections of this document). 

We acknowledge, however, that the Reorganizations will subject investors to certain ETF-specific risks, including the risk that shares of an Acquiring Fund will trade at market prices that may be above (premium) or below (discount) the Acquiring Fund's NAV or that the Acquiring Fund's "authorized participants" will not engage in creation or redemption transactions, which could cause the Acquiring Fund's shares to trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.

The Board of Trustees of each Target Fund, including all of the Independent Trustees (i.e., Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Target Funds as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940), approved each Reorganization and determined, with respect to each Reorganization, that participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Target Fund and the interests of existing shareholders of the Target Fund would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. **No shareholder vote is required to complete the Reorganizations**. **We are not asking you for a proxy and you are requested not to send us a proxy.**

Importantly, in order to receive shares of an Acquiring Fund as part of a Reorganization, you must hold your shares of a Target Fund through a brokerage account that can accept shares of an ETF (the corresponding Acquiring Fund). If you do not hold your shares of a Target Fund through that type of brokerage account, you will not receive shares of an Acquiring Fund as part of a Reorganization. Instead, your investment will be liquidated and you will receive cash equal

ii

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
in value to the NAV of your Target Fund shares. The liquidation of your investment and return of cash may be subject to tax. It may take time for you to receive your cash. If you hold shares of a Target Fund through a fund direct individual retirement account and do not take action prior to the Reorganization, your Target Fund shares will be exchanged for Morgan Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund equal in value to the NAV of your Target Fund shares. Alternatively, if you hold your shares of a Target Fund through an account with a financial intermediary that is not able to hold shares of an Acquiring Fund, like many group retirement plans, your financial intermediary may transfer your investment in a Target Fund to a different investment option prior to a Reorganization. In some cases, this transfer may be subject to tax. Please consult with your financial intermediary for more information on the impact that a Reorganization will have on you and your investments.

If you do not currently hold your shares of a Target Fund through a brokerage account that can hold shares of an Acquiring Fund, please review the accompanying materials closely for additional actions that you must take to receive shares of an Acquiring Fund as part of a Reorganization. No further action is required for shareholders that hold shares of a Target Fund through a brokerage account that can hold shares of an Acquiring Fund.

**If you do not wish to participate in a Reorganization, you can exchange your Target Fund shares for shares of another J.P. Morgan mutual fund that is not participating in a Reorganization or redeem your Target Fund shares. Prior to doing so, however, you should consider the tax consequences associated with either action.** 

The accompanying Information Statement/Prospectus provides more information about the Reorganizations. Please carefully review the additional information provided in this document. If you have questions, please call 1-800-480-4111.

**QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS** 

Shareholders should read this entire Information Statement/Prospectus carefully.

The following is a brief Q&A that will help explain the Reorganizations (as defined below), including the reasons for the Reorganizations. A more detailed discussion of the Reorganizations follows this section.

**Q. What is happening to my investment? Why am I receiving an Information Statement/Prospectus?** 

**A.** You are receiving this Information Statement/Prospectus because you own shares in one or more of the following funds: JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund, JPMorgan High Yield Municipal Fund, JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond Fund, and JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund (each, a "Target Fund").

Each Target Fund currently operates as an open-end mutual fund. These Target Funds will be reorganized into exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") though the reorganization of each Target Fund into a newly-created ETF (each an "Acquiring Fund" and together with the Target Funds, the "Funds"). Each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund have identical investment objectives and fundamental investment policies and have substantially similar investment strategies. Following the reorganizations, each Target Fund will be liquidated (each such reorganization and liquidation, a "Reorganization"). The chart below lists the name of each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Target Fund** | **Acquiring Fund** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund | JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; JPMorgan High Yield Municipal Fund | JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond Fund | JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond ETF |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund | JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF |

---

Each Reorganization will be accomplished in accordance with its respective Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Liquidation (each, a "Plan"). Each Plan provides for the transfer of all of the assets and liabilities of a Target Fund to its corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund having an aggregate net asset value ("NAV") equal to the aggregate NAV of the Target Fund followed immediately by the distribution by the Target Fund to its shareholders of the portion of shares of the Acquiring Fund to which the shareholder is entitled, except as noted below.

If you remain a shareholder of a Target Fund on the Closing Date (as defined below) of a Reorganization, you will receive shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund and, in some cases, cash that combined with the shares have the same value as your shares of the Target Fund on that date. Shares of the Acquiring Funds are not issued in fractional shares, so cash will be paid to some shareholders in lieu of fractional shares of the Acquiring Fund, which cash payment may be taxable. If you do not hold your shares of a Target Fund through a brokerage account that can accept shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date of the Reorganization, you will not receive shares of the Acquiring Fund as part of the Reorganization. Instead, your investment will be liquidated and you will receive cash equal in value to the NAV of your Target Fund shares. The liquidation of your investment and return of cash may be taxable. If you hold your shares of a Target Fund through a fund direct individual retirement account ("IRA") and do not take action prior to the Reorganization, your Target Fund shares will be exchanged for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund equal in value to the NAV of your Target Fund shares.

**Q. What are the differences between an ETF and a mutual fund?** 

**A.** ETFs are structurally different from mutual funds in several important aspects:

• A mutual fund may offer multiple share classes with different sales charges, expenses, and/or minimum
investments. An ETF will not issue multiple classes of shares.

i

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
• A mutual fund investor may purchase and redeem shares directly from the mutual fund (through a distributor
or a financial intermediary). Most ETF investors will buy and sell shares in secondary market transactions through brokers.

• A mutual fund will accept purchase and redemption orders from any shareholders, and only on days that the
mutual fund is open for business, and those orders will be effected at that day's NAV. An ETF will issue or redeem shares at its NAV per share only in one or more groupings of a large specified number of shares called a "Creation
Unit," on days that the ETF is open for business. Only an ETF's "authorized participants" are permitted to engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the ETF. All other shareholders will buy and sell shares of
the ETF on an exchange at market price.

As a result of these structural differences, there are certain benefits associated with the ETF structure, such as secondary market liquidity, increased transparency, and the potential for increased tax efficiency. There are, however, certain risks associated with the ETF structure, including the risk that shares of an ETF will trade at market prices that are above (premium) or below (discount) NAV, or that an ETF's "authorized participants" will not engage in creation or redemption transactions which could cause the Acquiring Fund's shares to trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.

**Q. Has the Board of Trustees of each Target Fund approved the Reorganizations?** 

**A.** Yes. The Board of Trustees of each Target Fund (collectively, the "Target Funds Board") approved its applicable Reorganization. The Target Funds Board, including all of the Independent Trustees (i.e., Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Target Funds as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act")), determined that, for each Target Fund, the participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Target Fund and that the interests of existing Target Fund's shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.

**Q. Why are the Reorganizations occurring?** 

**A.** Each Target Fund's investment adviser, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. ("JPMIM"), proposed that the Target Fund be reorganized into its corresponding Acquiring Fund because of certain benefits associated with the ETF structure, which JPMIM believes will better serve the interests of Target Fund shareholders. As discussed in more detail below, these shareholder benefits include lower net expenses, additional trading flexibility, increased transparency and the potential for enhanced tax efficiency.

**Q. How will the Reorganizations affect me as a shareholder?** 

**A.** If your Reorganization is consummated, you will cease to be a shareholder of a Target Fund. In order to receive shares of an Acquiring Fund as part of a Reorganization, you must hold your shares of a Target Fund through a brokerage account that can accept shares of an ETF (the corresponding Acquiring Fund) on the Closing Date of the Reorganization.

• *Brokerage Account*.  **** ** If you hold your shares of a Target Fund through a brokerage account
that can accept shares of an ETF on the Closing Date of the Reorganization, you will automatically become a shareholder of the Acquiring Fund. As described in more detail above, upon completion of your Reorganization, you will receive shares of an
Acquiring Fund and, in some cases, cash having an aggregate NAV equal to the aggregate NAV of the shares of the Target Fund you owned on the Closing Date of the Reorganization. Shares of the Acquiring Funds are not issued in fractional shares. As a
result, cash will be paid to shareholders in lieu of fractional shares, which may be taxable.

• *Non-Accommodating Brokerage Accounts.*  **** ** If you
hold your shares of a Target Fund in a brokerage account with a financial intermediary that only allows you to hold shares of mutual funds in the account, you will need to contact your financial intermediary to set up a brokerage account that
permits investments in ETF shares. If such a change is not made before the Reorganization, you will not receive shares of the Acquiring Fund as part of the Reorganization. Instead, your investment will be liquidated and you will receive cash equal
in value to the NAV of your Target Fund shares.

ii

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
• *Non-Accommodating Retirement Accounts*. If you hold your
shares of a Target Fund through an IRA or group retirement plan whose plan sponsor does not have the ability to hold shares of ETFs on its platform, you may need to redeem your shares prior to the applicable Reorganization or, if applicable, your
financial intermediary may transfer your investment in a Fund to a different investment option prior to the Reorganization.

• *Fund Direct Accounts*. If you hold your shares of a Target Fund in an account directly with the Target
Fund at its transfer agent, DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc. (a "fund direct account"), you should transfer your shares of the Target Fund to a brokerage account that can accept shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund prior to the
Reorganization. If such a change is not made before the Reorganization, you will not receive shares of the Acquiring Fund as part of the Reorganization. Instead, your investment will be liquidated and you will receive cash equal in value to the NAV
of your Target Fund shares.

• *Fund Direct IRA.* If you hold your shares of a Target Fund through a fund direct IRA and do not take
action to transfer your investment in a Target Fund to a different investment option prior to the Reorganization, your Target Fund shares will be exchanged for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund equal in value to the NAV of
your Target Fund shares.

In some cases, the liquidation of your investment and return of cash, or the transfer of your investment, may be subject to fees and expenses and may also be subject to tax. It may take time for you to receive your cash. Please consult with your financial intermediary for more information on the impact that the Reorganization will have on you and your investments.

If you do not currently hold your shares of a Target Fund through a brokerage account that can hold shares of an Acquiring Fund, please see the information below, including the separate Q&A that follows, for additional actions that you must take to receive shares of an Acquiring Fund as part of a Reorganization. No further action is required for shareholders that hold shares of a Target Fund through a brokerage account that can hold shares of an Acquiring Fund.

After the Reorganization, individual shares of the Acquiring Fund may only be purchased and sold in the secondary market. Shares of JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF will be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC<sup>®</sup>. Shares of JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond ETF will be listed for trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. Shares of JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF and JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF will be listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. Shares of the Acquiring Funds may also be traded on other national securities exchanges, electronic crossing networks, and other alternative trading systems. Should you decide to purchase or sell shares of an Acquiring Fund after a Reorganization, you will need to place a trade through a broker who will execute your trade in the secondary market at prevailing market prices. Because each Acquiring Fund's shares trade at market prices rather than at NAV, an Acquiring Fund's shares may trade at a price less than (discount) or greater than (premium) the Acquiring Fund's NAV. As with all transactions for ETFs, your broker may charge a commission for purchase and sale transactions.

**Q. Am I Being Asked to Vote on the Reorganizations?** 

**A.** No. Shareholders of the Target Funds are not required to approve the Reorganizations under state or federal law, the 1940 Act, or the organizational documents governing the Target Funds. We are not asking you for a proxy and you are requested not to send us a proxy.

**Q. Will the Reorganizations affect the way my investments are managed?** 

**A.** No. JPMIM is the investment adviser to each of the Target Funds and will continue to serve as the investment adviser to each of the Acquiring Funds. The same individuals currently responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of a Target Fund will continue to be responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of its corresponding Acquiring Fund. Each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund have identical investment objectives and fundamental investment policies and have substantially similar investment strategies. In the case of the Sustainable Municipal Income Reorganization, the JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF has an additional non-fundamental policy that, under normal circumstances, it will invest at least 80% of its assets in sustainable

iii

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
securities as determined under JPMIM's investment process (as further described herein). A non-fundamental policy may be changed without shareholder approval.

**Q. Will the fees and expenses of the Acquiring Funds be lower than the fees and expenses of the Target Funds?** 

**A.** Yes. Following the Reorganizations, each Acquiring Fund is expected to have a lower net expense ratio than each share class of its corresponding Target Fund after taking into consideration fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed pursuant to expense limitation agreements agreed to by JPMIM. These expense limitation agreements will remain in effect for at least three years from the effective date of each Reorganization. After the initial three-year period following the effective date of each Reorganization, each Acquiring Fund has the potential to benefit from lower gross expenses as compared to its corresponding Target Fund.

More information on the effects of the potential expense reductions is available in the Information Statement/Prospectus.

**Q. Are there other benefits that I will experience as a shareholder of an Acquiring Fund?** 

**A.** Yes. In addition to lower net expenses, as a shareholder of an Acquiring Fund you will also benefit from additional trading flexibility, increased transparency, and the potential for enhanced tax efficiency.

• *Additional Trading Flexibility.* As a shareholder of a Target Fund you can only purchase or redeem
your shares of the Target Fund at a price based on the Target Fund's NAV that is next calculated after your order is received by the Target Fund. This NAV is calculated once per business day. As a shareholder of an Acquiring Fund, however, you
will be able to purchase and sell shares of the Acquiring Fund throughout a trading day on the secondary market. These trades will occur at market prices, which may be higher or lower than the Acquiring Fund's NAV. This intraday liquidity will
give you the opportunity to act on purchase and sale decisions immediately, rather than waiting to transact at the Acquiring Fund's NAV.

• *Increased Transparency*. Currently, the Target Funds only provide periodic disclosure of their
complete portfolio holdings. Following the Reorganizations, however, each Acquiring Fund will make its complete portfolio holdings public each business day. This holdings information, along with other information about the Acquiring Funds, will be
found on each Acquiring Fund's website at jpmorganfunds.com.

• *Enhanced Tax Efficiency.* Shareholders of the JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund also are expected to benefit
from the potential for greater tax efficiency with the ETF structure. While the tax treatment of ETFs and mutual funds is the same, the mechanics of the creation and redemption process for ETFs allows ETFs to acquire securities in-kind and redeem securities in-kind, which generally allows shareholders of an ETF to defer the realization of capital gains as the result of the ETF's portfolio
transactions. In contrast, when portfolio securities are sold within a mutual fund (either to rebalance the mutual fund's holdings or to raise cash for redemptions), the sale can create capital gains within the mutual fund that impact all
taxable shareholders of the mutual fund. The other Acquiring Funds generally expect to effect their creations and redemptions entirely (or, in the case of the JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF and the JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF, in
part) on a cash basis, unlike JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF, which generally expects to effect its creations and redemptions in-kind. Accordingly, these other Acquiring Funds will not benefit from the enhanced tax
efficiency of the ETF structure to the same extent as JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF. The Reorganizations should still provide some enhanced tax efficiency for these Acquiring Funds, as ETFs generally experience fewer portfolio transactions than mutual
funds due to the secondary market liquidity of the ETF structure. Capital gains from securities sales by the Target Funds prior to the Reorganizations may be distributed either (i) by the Target Funds prior to the Reorganizations or
(ii) by the Acquiring Funds after the Reorganizations.

**Q. Will I be subject to comparable investment risks as a shareholder of an Acquiring Fund?** 

**A.** Yes. As noted above, each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund have identical investment objectives and fundamental investment policies and have substantially similar investment strategies. Therefore, the Acquiring Funds will be subject to substantially similar investment risks as their corresponding Target Funds.

For additional discussion of these and other risk factors, please see the section entitled "Description of Investment Risks."

**Q. Will I be subject to additional ETF-specific structural risks as a shareholder of an Acquiring Fund?** 

**A.** As a shareholder of an Acquiring Fund, you will be subject to risks related to the Acquiring Fund's ETF structure. For example, you will be subject to the risk that shares of your Acquiring Fund will trade at market prices that are above (premium) or below (discount) the Acquiring Fund's NAV. You will also be subject to the risk that your Acquiring Fund's "authorized participants," which are the only entities that are permitted to engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with an Acquiring Fund, do not engage in such transactions, which could cause the Acquiring Fund's shares to trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.

For additional discussion of these and other risk factors, please see the section entitled "Description of Structural Risks."

**Q. Is there anything else that will be different once I am a shareholder of an Acquiring Fund?** 

**A.** Yes. As a shareholder of a Target Fund, you can only purchase or redeem your shares of the Target Fund at a price based on the Target Fund's NAV that is next calculated after your order is received by the Target Fund, subject to any applicable sales charges and fees.

Individual Acquiring Fund shares may only be purchased and sold on the secondary market through a broker at market prices. When you buy or sell shares of an Acquiring Fund through a broker, you may incur a brokerage commission or other charges imposed by the broker.

In addition, each of the Target Funds operates in a multiple class structure. A multiple class fund is an open-end investment company that issues two or more classes of shares representing interests in the same investment portfolio, but with different availability and eligibility criteria, sales charges, expenses, dividends and distributions. In contrast, the Acquiring Funds, by virtue of operating in an ETF structure, will not issue multiple classes of shares. Unlike shareholders of a Target Fund, shareholders of an Acquiring Fund will not own a particular class of shares.

**Q. Will the Target Funds or Acquiring Funds charge shareholders any sales charges (loads), commissions, or other similar fees in connection with the Reorganizations?** 

**A.** No. Neither the Target Funds nor the Acquiring Funds will charge shareholders any sales charges (loads), commissions, or other similar fees in connection with the Reorganizations.

**Q. When are the Reorganizations expected to occur?** 

**A.** JPMIM anticipates that the Reorganizations will occur after the close of trading on the following dates (each, a "Closing Date"):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Target Fund**<br>| **Acquiring Fund**<br>| **Expected Closing<br>Date** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; JPMorgan High Yield Municipal Fund | JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF | July 14, 2023 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund | JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF | July 14, 2023 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund | JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF | July 28, 2023 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond Fund | JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond ETF | July 28, 2023 |

---

A Closing Date may be delayed. The Target Fund in which you hold shares will publicly disclose any changes to the applicable Closing Date.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**Q. Who will pay the costs in connection with the Reorganizations?** 

**A.** JPMIM will pay for the costs incurred by the Funds associated with the Reorganizations (including the legal costs associated with the Reorganizations) by waiving fees or reimbursing expenses to offset the costs incurred by the Target Funds and Acquiring Funds associated with the Reorganizations, including any brokerage fees and expenses incurred by the Funds related to the disposition and acquisition of assets as part of a Reorganization. Brokerage fees and expenses related to the disposition and acquisition of assets (including any disposition to raise cash to pay redemption proceeds) that are incurred in the ordinary course of business will not be covered by JPMIM.

**Q. Will the Reorganizations result in any federal tax liability to me?** 

**A.** The Reorganizations are intended to be treated as tax-free reorganizations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the Reorganizations qualify for tax-free treatment, Target Fund shareholders would recognize no gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of Target Fund shares for Acquiring Fund shares pursuant to the Reorganizations (except with respect to cash received). Capital gains from securities sales by the Target Funds prior to the Reorganizations may be distributed by the Acquiring Funds after the Reorganizations.

Different tax considerations apply to you if you hold your shares of a Target Fund through a fund direct IRA and exchange your Target Fund shares for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund. In addition, as described above, you may also experience tax consequences if your investment is liquidated and the cash value of your Target Fund shares is returned to you or if your shares of a Target Fund are transferred by your financial intermediary to a different investment option because you did not hold your shares of a Target Fund through a brokerage account that can accept shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date of the Reorganization.

Shareholders should consult their tax advisors about possible state and local tax consequences of the Reorganizations, if any, because the information about tax consequences in this document relates to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganizations only.

**Q. Can I purchase, redeem, or exchange shares of a Target Fund before the Reorganization takes place?** 

**A.** Yes. Purchase orders, exchange orders, and redemption orders must be received by the Target Funds by the dates indicated below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Target Fund** | **Final Date to Purchase<br>Target Fund Shares or<br>Exchange Shares of<br>Another J.P. Morgan<br>Mutual Fund for Target<br>Fund Shares** | **Final Date to<br>Redeem Target<br>Fund Shares or<br>Exchange Target<br>Fund Shares for<br>Shares of Another<br>J.P. Morgan<br>Mutual Fund** |

**IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT YOUR TARGET FUND ACCOUNT** 

**QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS** 

The following is a brief Q&A that provides information to help you to determine if you need to take action with respect to your shareholder account prior to the Reorganizations in order to receive shares of an Acquiring Fund.

**Q. What types of shareholder accounts can receive shares of an Acquiring Fund as part of a Reorganization?** 

**A.** If you hold your shares of a Target Fund in a brokerage account that permits you to purchase securities traded in the stock market, such as ETFs or other types of stocks, then you will be eligible to receive shares of an Acquiring Fund in a Reorganization. No further action is required.

**Q. What types of shareholder accounts cannot receive shares of an Acquiring Fund as part of a Reorganization?** 

**A.** The following account types cannot hold shares of ETFs:

*Non-Accommodating Brokerage Accounts.* ****If you hold your shares of a Target Fund in a brokerage account with a financial intermediary that only allows you to hold shares of mutual funds in the account, you will need to contact your financial intermediary to set up a brokerage account that permits investments in ETF shares.

*Non-Accommodating Retirement Accounts*. If you hold your shares of a Target Fund through an IRA or group retirement plan whose plan sponsor does not have the ability to hold shares of ETFs on its platform, you may need to redeem your shares prior to the applicable Reorganization or, if applicable, your financial intermediary may transfer your investment in a Fund to a different investment option prior to the Reorganization.

*Fund Direct Accounts*. If you hold your shares of a Target Fund in an account directly with the Target Fund at its transfer agent, DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc. (a "fund direct account"), you should transfer your shares of the Target Fund to a brokerage account that can accept shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund prior to the Reorganization. For this purpose, a fund direct account includes a fund direct IRA. If you hold your shares of a Target Fund through a fund direct IRA and do not take action prior to the Reorganization, your Target Fund shares will be exchanged for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund equal in value to the NAV of your Target Fund shares. You have a fund direct account if you receive quarterly account statements directly from the Target Fund and not from a third-party broker-dealer.

**If you are unsure about the ability of your account to accept shares of an Acquiring Fund, please call 1-800-480-4111 or contact your financial advisor or other financial intermediary.** 

**Q. How do I transfer my Target Fund shares from a fund direct account to a brokerage account that will accept Acquiring Fund shares?** 

**A.** Transferring your shares from a fund direct account to a brokerage account that can accept shares of an Acquiring Fund should be a simple process. If you have a brokerage account or a relationship with a brokerage firm, please talk to your broker and inform the broker that you would like to transfer a mutual fund position that you hold directly with a Target Fund into your brokerage account. Also inform your broker that such an account will need to be set up to accept shares of an ETF, such as an Acquiring Fund. If you don't have a brokerage account or a relationship with a brokerage firm, you will need to open an account.

We suggest you provide your broker with a copy of your quarterly statement from the Target Fund. Your broker will require your account number with the Target Fund, which can be found on your statement. Your broker will help you complete a form to initiate the transfer. Once you sign that form, your broker will submit the form to the transfer agent

directly, and the shares will be transferred into your brokerage account. ***The sooner you initiate the transfer, the better.***

**Q. How do I transfer my Target Fund shares from a non-accommodating brokerage account to a brokerage account that will accept Acquiring Fund shares?** 

**A.** The broker where you hold your Target Fund shares should be able to assist you in changing the characteristics of your brokerage account to an account that is permitted to invest in ETF shares. Contact your broker right away to make the necessary changes to your account.

**Q. What will happen if I do not have a brokerage account that can accept Acquiring Fund shares at the time of the Reorganizations?** 

**A.** In order to receive shares of an Acquiring Fund as part of a Reorganization, you must hold your shares of a Target Fund through a brokerage account that can accept shares of an ETF (the corresponding Acquiring Fund) on the Closing Date of the Reorganization.

• *Non-Accommodating Brokerage Accounts.*  **** ** If you
hold your shares of a Target Fund in a brokerage account with a financial intermediary that only allows you to hold shares of mutual funds in the account, you will need to contact your financial intermediary to set up a brokerage account that
permits investments in ETF shares. If such a change is not made before the Reorganization, you will not receive shares of the Acquiring Fund as part of the Reorganization. Instead, your investment will be liquidated and you will receive cash equal
in value to the NAV of your Target Fund shares.

• *Non-Accommodating Retirement Accounts*. If you hold your
shares of a Target Fund through an IRA or group retirement plan whose plan sponsor does not have the ability to hold shares of ETFs on its platform, you may need to redeem your shares prior to the applicable Reorganization or, if applicable, your
financial intermediary may transfer your investment in a Fund to a different investment option prior to the Reorganization.

• *Fund Direct Accounts*. If you hold your shares of a Target Fund in a fund direct account, you should
transfer your shares of the Target Fund to a brokerage account that can accept shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund prior to the Reorganization. If such a change is not made before the Reorganization, you will not receive shares of the
Acquiring Fund as part of the Reorganization. Instead, your investment will be liquidated and you will receive cash equal in value to the NAV of your Target Fund shares.

• *Fund Direct IRA.* If you hold your shares of a Target Fund through a fund direct IRA and do not take
action to transfer your investment in a Target Fund to a different investment option prior to the Reorganization, your Target Fund shares will be exchanged for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund equal in value to the NAV of
your Target Fund shares.

In some cases, the liquidation of your investment and return of cash, or the transfer of your investment, may be subject to fees and expenses and may also be subject to tax. It may take time for you to receive your cash. Please consult with your financial intermediary for more information on the impact that the Reorganization will have on you and your investments.

**Q. What if I do not want to own shares of an Acquiring Fund?** 

**A.** If you do not want to receive shares of an Acquiring Fund in connection with a Reorganization, you can exchange your Target Fund shares for shares of another J.P. Morgan mutual fund that is not participating in a Reorganization or redeem your Target Fund shares. Prior to doing so, however, you should consider the tax consequences associated with either action. Redemption of your Target Fund shares will be a taxable event if you hold your shares in a taxable

**INFORMATION STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS** 

**Dated [April] [10], 2023** 

**JPMorgan Trust I** 

**JPMorgan Trust II** 

**277 Park Avenue** 

**New York, NY 10172** 

This Information Statement/Prospectus is being furnished to shareholders of certain series (each, a "Target Fund") of JPMorgan Trust I ("Trust I") and JPMorgan Trust II ("Trust II" and collectively with Trust I, the "Target Fund Trusts") to inform them of a plan to reorganize each Target Fund into an exchange-traded fund ("ETF"), which will continue to be managed by JPMIM.

Each Target Fund will be reorganized into a newly-created ETF (each, an "Acquiring Fund" and together with the Target Funds, the "Funds") that is a series of J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the "ETF Trust" and together with the Target Fund Trusts, the "Trusts"), and each Target Fund will subsequently be liquidated (each such reorganization and liquidation, a "Reorganization"). The Reorganizations are set forth in the table below.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Reorganization** | **Target Fund** | **Acquiring Fund** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Equity Focus Reorganization | JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund | JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;High Yield Municipal Reorganization | JPMorgan High Yield Municipal Fund | JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Limited Duration Bond Reorganization | JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond Fund | JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond ETF |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sustainable Municipal Income Reorganization | JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund | JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF |

---

The Board of Trustees of each Target Fund (collectively, the "Target Funds Board") approved the applicable Reorganization. The Target Funds Board, including all of the Independent Trustees (i.e., Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Target Funds as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act")), determined that, for each Target Fund, participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Target Fund and that the interests of existing Target Fund's shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The Target Funds Board and the Board of Trustees of each Acquiring Fund (the "Acquiring Funds Board") are comprised of the same individuals.

Each Reorganization will be accomplished in accordance with its respective Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Liquidation (each, a "Plan"). Each Plan provides for the transfer of all of the assets and liabilities of a Target Fund to its corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund having an aggregate net asset value ("NAV") equal to the aggregate NAV of the Target Fund followed immediately by the distribution by the Target Fund to its shareholders of the portion of shares of the Acquiring Fund to which the shareholder is entitled (including cash in lieu of fractional shares of the Acquiring Fund) in complete liquidation of the Target Fund, except as noted below. A copy of the form of the Plan pertaining to the Reorganizations is included as Appendix A to this Information Statement/Prospectus.

For federal income tax purposes, each Reorganization is intended to be structured as a tax-free transaction for the Target Fund, the Acquiring Fund, and the shareholders of the Target Fund. If you remain a shareholder of a Target Fund on the Closing Date (as defined below) of a Reorganization, you will receive shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund and, in some cases, cash that combined with the shares have the same value as your shares of the Target Fund on that date. Shares of the Acquiring Funds, however, are not issued in fractional shares. As a result, cash will be paid to shareholders in lieu of fractional shares of an Acquiring Fund, which may be taxable. If you do not hold your shares of a Target Fund through a brokerage account that can accept shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date of the Reorganization, you will not receive shares of the Acquiring Fund as part of the Reorganization. Instead, your investment will be liquidated and you will receive cash equal in value to the NAV of your Target Fund shares. If you hold shares of a Target Fund through a fund direct individual retirement account

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
("IRA") and do not take action prior to the Reorganization, your Target Fund shares will be exchanged for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund equal in value to the NAV of your Target Fund shares. Alternatively, if you hold your shares of a Target Fund through an account with a financial intermediary that is not able to hold shares of an Acquiring Fund, like many group retirement plans, your financial intermediary may transfer your investment in a Target Fund to a different investment option prior to the Reorganization. In some cases, the liquidation of your investment and return of cash, or the transfer of your investment, may be subject to fees and expenses and may also be subject to tax. It may take time for you to receive your cash. Please consult with your financial intermediary for more information on the impact that the Reorganization will have on you and your investments.

**THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS IS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY, AND YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO ANYTHING IN RESPONSE TO RECEIVING IT EXCEPT TO CHECK FOR WHETHER YOU HAVE A BROKERAGE ACCOUNT THAT CAN ACCEPT SHARES OF AN ETF.** 

**WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY, AND YOU ARE NOT REQUESTED TO SEND US A PROXY.** 

Each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund have identical investment objectives and fundamental investment policies and have substantially similar investment strategies. The principal executive offices of each Target Fund Trust and the ETF Trust are located at 277 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10172.

Shares of JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF will be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. Shares of JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond ETF will be listed for trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. Shares of JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF and JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF will be listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc.

The Reorganizations are anticipated to occur after the close of trading on the following dates (each, a "Closing Date"):

**SUMMARY** 

*This is only a summary of certain information contained in this Information Statement/Prospectus. Shareholders should carefully read the more complete information in the rest of this Information Statement/Prospectus, including the Plan relating to the Reorganizations, a form of which is attached to this Information Statement/Prospectus in Appendix A, and the applicable Acquiring Fund prospectus(es), which accompanies this Information Statement/Prospectus. For purposes of this Information Statement/Prospectus, the terms "shareholder", "you", and "your" refer to shareholders of the Target Funds.* 

***What is happening to the Target Funds?***

Each Target Fund currently operates as an open-end mutual fund. These Target Funds will be reorganized into ETFs through the reorganization of each Target Fund into a newly-created corresponding Acquiring Fund. Each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund have identical investment objectives and fundamental investment policies and have substantially similar investment strategies. Each reorganization of a Target Fund into its corresponding Acquiring Fund, along with the subsequent liquidation of each Target Fund, is referred to in this Information Statement/Prospectus as a "Reorganization," and each Reorganization will be accomplished in accordance with an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Liquidation (a "Plan"). For reference purposes, the identification of each Reorganization, Target Fund and corresponding Acquiring Fund is listed in the chart below.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sustainable Municipal Income Reorganization | JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund | JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF |

Shares of JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF will be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC<sup>®</sup> ("Nasdaq"). Shares of JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond ETF will be listed for trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. ("Cboe"). Shares of JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF and JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF will be listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. ("NYSE Arca").

***How will the Reorganizations be implemented?***

Each Plan provides for the transfer of all of the assets and liabilities of a Target Fund to its corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund having an aggregate net asset value ("NAV") equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Target Fund followed immediately by the distribution by the Target Fund to its shareholders of the portion of shares of the Acquiring Fund to which the shareholder is entitled in complete liquidation of the Target Fund, except as noted below.

Shares of the Acquiring Fund will be transferred to each shareholder's brokerage account. If a shareholder does not hold their shares of a Target Fund through a brokerage account that can accept shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date of the Reorganization, the shareholder will not receive shares of the Acquiring Fund as part of the Reorganization. Instead, the shareholder's investment will be liquidated and the shareholder will receive cash equal in value to the NAV of their Target Fund shares. If a shareholder holds shares of a Target Fund through a fund direct IRA, the shareholder's Target Fund shares will be exchanged for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund equal in value to the NAV of the shareholder's Target Fund shares unless the shareholder provides alternative direction prior to the Reorganization. Alternatively, if a shareholder holds their shares of a Target Fund through an account with a financial intermediary that is not able to hold shares of an Acquiring Fund, like many group retirement plans, a financial intermediary may transfer the shareholder's investment in a Target Fund to a different investment option prior to the Reorganization. In some cases, this transfer may be subject to fees and expenses and may also be subject to tax. In some cases, the liquidation of your investment and return of cash, or the transfer of

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
your investment, may be subject to fees and expenses and may also be subject to tax. It may take time for you to receive your cash.

After shares of the Acquiring Fund are distributed to the Target Fund's shareholders, the Target Fund will be completely liquidated and dissolved. As a result of a Reorganization, you will cease to be a shareholder of the Target Fund and will become a shareholder of the Acquiring Fund. This exchange will occur after the close of business on the Closing Date of the Reorganization, which is the specific date on which the Reorganization takes place. The expected Closing Dates of each Reorganization are indicated below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Reorganization** | **Expected Closing<br>Date** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; High Yield Municipal Reorganization | July 14, 2023 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sustainable Municipal Income Reorganization | July 14, 2023 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Equity Focus Reorganization | July 28, 2023 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Limited Duration Bond Reorganization | July 28, 2023 |

---

A Closing Date may be delayed. The Target Fund in which you hold shares will publicly disclose any changes to the applicable Closing Date.

***Why are the Reorganizations happening and did the Board approve the Reorganizations?***

After consideration of all relevant factors, including the potential impact of the Reorganizations on different subsets of the Target Funds' shareholders, each Target Fund's investment adviser, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. ("JPMIM"), proposed that each Target Fund be reorganized into its corresponding Acquiring Fund because of certain benefits associated with the ETF structure, which JPMIM believes will better serve the interests of Target Fund shareholders. As discussed in more detail below, these benefits include lower net expenses, additional trading flexibility, increased transparency, and the potential for enhanced tax efficiency.

Current shareholders of each class of the Target Funds are expected to benefit directly from the reduced net expense ratio of each corresponding Acquiring Fund.

In addition, current shareholders of each class of the JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund also are expected to benefit from the potential for greater cash efficiency with the ETF structure. ETFs typically do not have to maintain as large cash positions or sell as many securities to meet redemption requests. Accordingly, the JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF may operate with less cash and incur lower transaction costs than its corresponding Target Fund. Because it is anticipated that JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF, JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond ETF, and JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF may create and redeem entirely or in part on a cash basis, each of these Acquiring Funds is expected to maintain cash positions similar to its respective corresponding Target Fund.

Current shareholders of each class of the JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund also are expected to benefit from the potential for greater tax efficiency with the ETF structure with respect to the management of capital gains distributions. The other Acquiring Funds will not benefit from the enhanced tax efficiency of the ETF structure to the same extent as JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF, though the Reorganizations should still provide some enhanced tax efficiency for these Acquiring Funds, as ETFs generally experience fewer portfolio transactions than mutual funds due to the secondary market liquidity of the ETF structure. While the tax treatment of ETFs and mutual funds is the same, the mechanics of the creation and redemption process for ETFs allow ETFs to acquire securities in-kind and redeem securities in-kind, which generally allows shareholders of an ETF to defer the realization of capital gains as the result of the ETF's portfolio transactions. The other Acquiring Funds generally expect to effect their creations and redemptions entirely (or, in the case of the JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF and the JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF, in part) on a cash basis, unlike JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF, which generally expects to effect its creations and redemptions in-kind.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund have identical investment objectives and fundamental investment policies and have substantially similar investment strategies. The Acquiring Funds, however, will have the benefits of operating in the ETF structure, in addition to being exposed to certain ETF-specific risks. JPMIM will continue as the investment adviser of each Acquiring Fund after the Reorganization and no change in portfolio managers will result from the Reorganization. As shareholders of ETFs after the Reorganizations, shareholders may bear certain costs with respect to maintaining brokerage accounts and buying and selling Acquiring Fund shares in the secondary market that the shareholders do not experience as shareholders of the Target Funds. However, shareholders of ETFs after the Reorganizations will not bear expenses specific to mutual funds, including sales charges as shareholders of the Target Funds.

The Target Funds Board, including all of the Target Funds Board's Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")) (together, the "Independent Trustees"), determined that, with respect to each Reorganization, participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Target Fund and the interests of the existing shareholders of the Target Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The Target Funds Board made this determination based on various factors that are discussed in this Information Statement/Prospectus, under the discussion of the Reorganization in the section entitled "Reasons for the Reorganizations."

***How will the Reorganizations affect me?***

When your Reorganization is consummated, you will cease to be a shareholder of a Target Fund and will become a shareholder of the Acquiring Fund. As described in more detail above, upon completion of your Reorganization, you will receive shares of an Acquiring Fund and in certain cases, cash, having an aggregate NAV equal to the aggregate NAV of the shares of the Target Fund you owned on the Closing Date of the Reorganization. Shares of the Acquiring Funds are not issued in fractional shares. As a result, cash will be paid to shareholders in lieu of fractional shares, which may be taxable.

However, in order to receive shares of an Acquiring Fund as part of a Reorganization, you must hold your shares of a Target Fund through a brokerage account that can accept shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date of the Reorganization. If you do not currently hold your shares of a Target Fund through a brokerage account that can hold shares of an Acquiring Fund, please see the separate Q&A that accompanies this Information Statement/Prospectus, for additional actions that you must take to receive shares of an Acquiring Fund as part of a Reorganization. No further action is required for shareholders that hold shares of a Target Fund through a brokerage account that can hold shares of an Acquiring Fund.

In addition, after the Reorganization, individual shares of the Acquiring Fund may only be purchased and sold in the secondary market. Should you decide to purchase or sell shares of an Acquiring Fund after a Reorganization, you will need to place a trade through a broker who will execute your trade in the secondary market at prevailing market prices. Because each Acquiring Fund's shares trade at market prices rather than at NAV, an Acquiring Fund's shares may trade at a price less than (discount) or greater than (premium) the Acquiring Fund's NAV. As with all ETFs, your broker may charge a commission for purchase and sales transactions.

In addition, each of the Target Funds operates in a multiple class structure. A multiple class fund is an open-end investment company that issues two or more classes of shares representing interests in the same investment portfolio, but with different availability and eligibility criteria, sales charges, expenses, dividends and distributions. In contrast, the Acquiring Funds, by virtue of operating in an ETF structure, will not issue multiple classes of shares. Unlike shareholders of a Target Fund, shareholders of an Acquiring Fund will not own a particular class of shares.

***Who will bear the costs associated with the Reorganizations?***

JPMIM will pay for the costs incurred by the Funds associated with the Reorganizations (including the legal costs associated with the Reorganizations) by waiving fees or reimbursing expenses to offset the costs incurred by the Target

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Funds and Acquiring Funds associated with the Reorganizations, including any brokerage fees and expenses incurred by the Funds related to the disposition and acquisition of assets as part of a Reorganization. Brokerage fees and expenses related to the disposition and acquisition of assets (including any disposition to raise cash to pay redemption proceeds) that are incurred in the ordinary course of business will be borne by the Funds and not be covered by JPMIM.

***What are the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganizations?***

As a condition to the closing of each Reorganization, the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund must receive an opinion of Dechert LLP ("Dechert") to the effect that the Reorganization will constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Accordingly, it is expected that neither you nor, in general, a Target Fund will recognize gain or loss as a direct result of the Reorganization of a Target Fund (except with respect to cash received by a shareholder, if any), and the holding period and aggregate tax basis for the Acquiring Fund shares that you receive will be the same as the holding period and aggregate tax basis of the Target Fund shares that you surrender in the Reorganization. Capital gains from securities sales by the Target Funds prior to the Reorganizations may be distributed by the Acquiring Funds after the Reorganizations. Prior to the consummation of a Reorganization, you may redeem your Target Fund shares, generally resulting in the recognition of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes based on the difference between your tax basis in the shares and the amount you receive for them. Different tax considerations apply to you if you hold your shares of a Target Fund through a fund direct IRA and exchange your Target Fund shares for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund, or if you do not hold your Target Fund shares via a brokerage account that can accept shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date and therefore have your investment liquidated.

You should consult your tax advisor regarding the effect, if any, of each Reorganization, in light of your individual circumstances. You should also consult your tax advisor about state and local tax consequences. For more information about the tax consequences of the Reorganizations, please see the section entitled "Information About the Plans—What are the tax consequences of the Reorganizations?"

***How do the Funds' investment objectives, investment strategies, and fundamental investment policies compare?***

Each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund have identical investment objectives and fundamental investment policies and have substantially similar investment strategies. Since each of the Acquiring Funds has not yet commenced operations, the information below will be accurate as of the time of this Information Statement/Prospectus. In the case of the Limited Duration Bond Reorganization and the Sustainable Municipal Income Reorganization, each of JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond ETF's and JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF's investment objective is fundamental and cannot be changed without shareholder approval, as in the case with its corresponding Target Fund.

In the case of the Sustainable Municipal Income Reorganization, the JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF has an additional non-fundamental policy that, under normal circumstances, it will invest at least 80% of its assets in sustainable securities as determined under JPMIM's investment process (as described below). A non-fundamental policy may be changed without shareholder approval. For additional discussion regarding structural differences between the Target Funds and their corresponding Acquiring Funds, please see the separate Q&A titled "What are the differences between an ETF and a mutual fund?"

<u>Investment Objectives and Investment Strategies</u> 

*Equity Focus Reorganization* 

JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund and JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF have the same investment objective. Each Fund seeks long term capital appreciation.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Each Fund employs substantially similar investment strategies in seeking to achieve its objective. JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund is normally managed as a core portfolio, but which has the ability to pro-actively invest more heavily in either growth or value securities depending on market conditions and the convictions of JPMIM. By contrast, for JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF, JPMIM chooses both growth and value securities for the Fund so that the Fund generally is managed as a core portfolio and is not normally significantly weighted towards either growth or value securities. The Fund does, however, have the ability to proactively invest more heavily in either growth or value securities depending on market conditions and the convictions of JPMIM. Each Fund invests in a limited number of U.S. equity securities, generally not more than 40. In choosing securities, each Fund seeks to invest in companies with one or more of the following characteristics:

• A durable franchise

• A sustainable competitive position relative to its peers

• A market leader

• A strong management team focused on increasing shareholder value

• A strong balance sheet.

The size of the allocation of each Fund to growth and value securities will vary based on market conditions, and the convictions of JPMIM each ranging from 35% to 65% of the equity investments in each Fund.

Under normal circumstances, each Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities. "Assets" means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Each Fund typically invests in equity securities with market capitalizations of $1 billion or more. In implementing its main strategies, each Fund invests primarily in common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs), but it may also invest up to 20% of its total assets in common stocks of foreign companies, including depositary receipts. Depositary receipts are financial instruments representing a foreign company's publicly traded securities. A depository receipt trades on a stock exchange in a country different from the company's local market.

Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which each Fund can invest. To the extent each Fund uses derivatives each Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.

If each Fund's portfolio managers cannot find attractive investments, each Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in cash and cash equivalents until appropriate investments are identified.

Investment Process: In managing each Fund, the portfolio managers employ a process that combines research, valuation and stock selection.

In selecting growth stocks, JPMIM focuses on durable companies whose growth potential appears to be underappreciated. These companies are generally going after a large addressable market with a sustainable competitive advantage, and have strong management teams. In selecting value stocks, JPMIM seeks to invest in companies which have durable franchises and which appear to be attractively valued and have the ability to grow intrinsic value per share. Companies with durable franchises generally have a sustainable competitive position relative to peers, high returns on capital, a diversified client or asset base and a strong brand. For JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF, JPMIM considers a company to be attractively valued based on characteristics such as the market value that has been added since the company's inception, profitability based on both its core operations and on an after taxes basis, and market expectations of future growth for the company. In considering whether a company has the ability to increase the intrinsic value per share, the adviser looks at whether management has earned an grown economic profits, i.e., generated returns in excess of the cost of capital over time.

As part of its investment process, JPMIM seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in the universe in which each Fund invests. JPMIM's assessment is based on an analysis of key

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to each Fund's investments in securities and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers may be purchased and retained by each Fund for reasons other than material ESG factors while each Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.

JPMIM may sell a security due to a change in the company's fundamentals or a change in the original reason for purchase of an investment, or if JPMIM no longer considers the security to be attractively valued. Investments may also be sold if a portfolio manager identifies a stock that he or she believes offers a better investment opportunity or to reallocate each Fund's assets between growth and value securities.

Each Fund operates as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.

*High Yield Municipal Reorganization* 

JPMorgan High Yield Municipal Fund and JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF have the same investment objective. Each Fund seeks a high level of current income exempt from federal income taxes.

Each Fund employs the same investment strategies in seeking to achieve its objective. Under normal circumstances, each Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in municipal securities, the income from which is exempt from federal income tax. This is a fundamental policy. For purposes of this policy, "Assets" means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Municipal securities are securities issued by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United States, including the District of Columbia, and their respective authorities, political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and other groups with the authority to act for the municipalities, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax. The securities are issued to raise funds for various public and private purposes. Municipal securities may include, but are not limited to, variable rate demand obligations, short-term municipal notes, municipal bonds, tax exempt commercial paper, private activity and industrial development bonds, tax anticipation notes, and participations in pools of municipal securities.

Municipal securities also include instruments evidencing direct ownership of interest payments or principal payments, or both, on municipal securities, such as tender option bonds and participation interests in all or part of specific holdings of municipal obligations, provided that the applicable issuer receives assurances from legal counsel that the interest payable on the securities is exempt from federal income tax. Additionally, municipal securities include all other instruments that directly or indirectly provide economic exposure to income which is derived from municipalities (such as municipal leases). The securities in which each Fund invests may have fixed rates of return or floating or variable rates.

Each Fund will invest in municipal securities of any maturity. A part of its investments in municipal securities, each Fund will also have the ability to invest up to 100% of each Fund's total assets in below investment grade or unrated securities. Such securities are also known as "junk bonds," "high yield bonds" and "non-investment grade bonds." Junk bonds also include unrated securities that each Fund's adviser believes to be of comparable quality to debt securities that are rated below investment grade. These securities generally are rated in the fifth or lower rating categories (for example, BB+ or lower by Standard & Poor's Corporation (S&P) and Ba1 or lower by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's)). These securities generally offer a higher yield than investment grade securities but involve a high degree of risk. A security's quality is determined at the time of purchase and securities that are rated investment grade or the unrated equivalent may be downgraded or decline in credit quality such that subsequently they would be deemed to be below investment grade.

Each Fund will also invest in investment grade securities. Investment grade securities carry a minimum rating of Baa3, BBB–, or BBB– by Moody's, S&P, or Fitch Ratings (Fitch), respectively, or the equivalent by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) or are unrated but deemed by JPMIM to be of comparable quality. Under normal market conditions, the Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its Assets in securities rated BBB/BB by S&P and Fitch, Baa/Ba by Moody's or unrated securities that JPMIM deems to be of equivalent quality.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Each Fund may also invest in common shares or preferred shares of unaffiliated closed-end funds. Each Fund generally will limit its investments in a single closed-end fund to 5% of its total assets and in all registered investment companies including closed-end funds (other than money market funds) to 10% of its total assets.

Each Fund may invest in shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The ETFs in which each Fund may invest include registered investment companies that seek to track the performance of a particular market index or security. These indexes include not only broad-based market indexes but more specific indexes as well, including those relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries. Ordinarily, each Fund must limit its investments in any single ETF to 5% of its total assets and in all ETFs and other investment companies to 10% of its total assets. However, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted an exemptive rule that allows any fund to disregard these 5% and 10% limitations, subject to certain conditions.

Each Fund may invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, including Treasury bills, bonds and notes. These investments carry different interest rates, maturities and issue dates. The interest on these securities may be exempt from state and local income taxes. Up to 100% of each Fund's assets may be invested in municipal securities, the interest on which may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals. Up to 20% of each Fund's net assets may be invested in securities subject to federal income tax.

Each Fund may also invest in zero-coupon securities, Treasury futures and credit default swaps as part of its main investment strategy.

Each Fund also invests in inverse floaters and restricted securities.

JPMIM buys and sells securities and investments for each Fund based on its view of individual securities and market sectors. Taking a long-term approach, JPMIM primarily looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles. JPMIM is value oriented and makes investment decisions after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity, any security pledge, and a review of the security's attributes, such as the coupon, maturity, and any redemption and tender provisions. JPMIM also factors in the overall investment strategy of each Fund, including its duration and its credit strategy, as well as JPMIM's interest rate outlook. As part of its investment process, JPMIM seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance factors on certain issuers in the universe in which each Fund may invest. JPMIM's assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across sectors to identify financially material issues on each Fund's investments in municipal issues and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with municipal issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by each Fund while each Fund may divest or not invest in securities that may be positively impacted by such factors.

Each Fund operates as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.

*Limited Duration Bond Reorganization* 

JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond Fund and JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond ETF have the same investment objective. Each Fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with low volatility of principal.

Each Fund mainly invests in mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, mortgage-related securities, adjustable-rate mortgages, money market instruments, and structured investments. These investments may be structured as collateralized mortgage obligations (agency and non-agency), stripped mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and mortgage pass-through securities. These securities may be structured such that payments consist of interest-only (IO), principal-only (PO) or principal and interest. Under normal circumstances, each Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets in bonds. For purposes of this policy, "Assets" means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Each Fund seeks to maintain a duration of three years or less, although, under certain market conditions such as in periods of significant volatility in interest rates and spreads, each Fund's duration may be longer than three years. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of "three years" means that a security's or portfolio's price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve).

Each Fund invests in fixed and floating rate debt securities representing an interest in or secured by residential mortgage loans. These securities often are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities such as the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). However, each Fund may also purchase mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities that are issued by non-governmental entities. Such securities may or may not have private insurer guarantees of timely payments.

Securities purchased by each Fund will be rated investment grade (or the unrated equivalent) at the time of purchase. In addition, all securities will be U.S. dollar-denominated although they may be issued by a foreign corporation, or a U.S. affiliate of a foreign corporation or a foreign government or its agencies and instrumentalities. Each Fund may invest a significant portion or all of its assets in mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities at JPMIM's discretion. Each Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in "sub-prime" mortgage-related securities at the time of purchase.

Each Fund has flexibility to invest in derivatives and may use such instruments to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposure, credit and spread volatility and to respond to volatile market conditions. Derivatives, which are instruments which have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may also be used as substitutes for securities in which each Fund can invest. Each Fund may use futures contracts, options, and swaps in connection with its principal strategies in order to hedge various investments, for risk management purposes and/or to increase income or gain to each Fund.

JPMIM buys and sells securities and investments for each Fund based on its view of individual securities and market sectors. Taking a long-term approach, JPMIM looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles. JPMIM is value oriented and makes decisions to purchase and sell individual securities and instruments after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity, legal provisions and the structure of the transaction. As part of its security selection process, JPMIM seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance factors on certain issuers in the universe in which each Fund may invest. JPMIM's assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to identify financially material issues on each Fund's investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by each Fund while each Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.

Each Fund operates as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.

*Sustainable Municipal Income Reorganization* 

JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund and JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF have the same investment objective. Each Fund seeks current income exempt from federal income taxes.

Each Fund invests in a portfolio of municipal bonds, including municipal mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. While current income is each Fund's primary focus, it seeks to produce income in a manner consistent with the preservation of principal.

Under normal circumstances, each Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in municipal bonds, the income from which is exempt from federal income tax. This is a fundamental policy. For the purposes of this policy, "Assets" means net

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Each Fund also invests in municipal mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, as well as restricted securities. Each Fund may invest a significant portion or all of its assets in municipal mortgage-backed securities at JPMIM's discretion. The securities in which each Fund invests may have fixed rates of return or floating or variable rates.

Municipal bonds are debt securities with maturities of 90 days or more at the time of issuance issued by states, territories and possessions of the United States, including the District of Columbia, and their respective authorities, political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax. The securities are issued to raise funds for various public and private purposes. Municipal bonds include private activity and industrial development bonds, tax anticipation notes and participations in pools of municipal securities.

Up to 100% of each Fund's assets may be invested in municipal bonds, the interest on which may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals.

For JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund, "Sustainable" in the Fund's name refers to the Fund's strategy to tilt the Fund's portfolio based on social or environmental benefits as part of its investment strategy. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests the majority of its assets in securities whose use of proceeds, in JPMIM's opinion, provide positive social or environmental benefits ("Sustainable Policy"). By contrast, for JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF, "Sustainable" in the Fund's name refers to the Fund's strategy to invest in sustainable securities. Under normal circumstances, JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF invests at least 80% of its Assets in sustainable municipal securities as determined under JPMIM's investment process (the "Sustainable 80% Policy"). For purposes of the Sustainable 80% Policy, sustainable municipal securities are defined by JPMIM as municipal bonds (as described above) whose use of proceeds, in JPMIM's opinion, provide positive social or environmental benefits. This policy may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval. However, JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF will provide shareholders with written notice at least 60 days prior to a change in its Sustainable 80% Policy.

JPMIM uses the use of proceeds process described below to identify investments for each Fund, other than JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF's investments in derivatives, cash and cash equivalents. For JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund, JPMIM has determined that bonds that finance affordable housing, healthcare, municipal water and sewer, education, mass transit and issuer designated green bonds promote positive social or environmental benefits for purposes of the Sustainable Policy. In addition to the uses of proceeds noted above, JPMIM may identify additional uses of bond proceeds that it believes will provide positive social or environmental benefits for purposes of the Sustainable Policy. In order to identify other types of securities that provide positive social or environmental benefits for purposes of the Sustainable Policy, JPMIM determines and assesses each such security's intended use of proceeds. Compliance with the Fund's 80% Sustainable Policy is determined based on the security's characteristics at the time of purchase. If the use of proceeds of a security changes after the time of purchase so as to no longer provide positive social and/or environmental benefits, the Fund may continue to hold the security. For JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF, JPMIM has determined that bonds that finance affordable housing, healthcare, municipal water and sewer, education, mass transit, and issuer designated green bonds promote positive social or environmental benefits for purposes of the Sustainable 80% Policy. In addition to the types of sustainable municipal securities noted above, JPMIM may identify additional types of bonds and uses of bond proceeds that it believes will provide positive social or environmental benefits for purposes of the Sustainable 80% Policy. In order to identify and invest in other types of securities that provide positive social or environmental benefits for purposes of the Sustainable 80% Policy, the adviser determines and assesses such security's intended use of proceeds. Compliance with the Fund's 80% Sustainable Policy is determined based on the security's characteristics at the time of purchase. If the use of proceeds of a security changes after the time of purchase so as to no longer provide positive social and/or environmental benefits, the Fund may continue to hold the security. Up to 20% of JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF's Assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents, derivatives, and investments that JPMIM has not determined provide social or environmental benefits.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities rated below investment grade. Such securities are known as "junk bonds," "high yield bonds" and "non-investment grade bonds." Junk bonds also include unrated securities that JPMIM believes to be of comparable quality to debt securities that are rated below investment grade. These securities generally are rated in the fifth or lower rating categories (for example, BB+ or lower by S&P and Ba1 or lower by Moody's). These securities generally offer a higher yield than investment grade securities, but involve a high degree of risk. A security's quality is determined at the time of purchase and securities that are rated investment grade or the unrated equivalent may be downgraded or decline in credit quality, such that, following the time of purchase, they would be deemed to be below investment grade. If the quality of an investment grade security is downgraded subsequent to purchase to below investment grade, JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF may continue to hold the security.

As a matter of fundamental policy, JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF will not invest more than 25% of its total assets: (i) in securities within a single industry; or (ii) in securities of governmental units or issuers in the same state, territory or possession. However, from time to time, JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF will invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipal housing authority obligations.

JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF's average weighted maturity will range from three to 15 years, although JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF may shorten its average weighted maturity to as little as two years if appropriate for temporary defensive purposes. Average weighted maturity is the average of all the current maturities (that is, the term of the securities) of the individual bonds in a Fund calculated so as to count most heavily those securities with the highest dollar value. Average weighted maturity is important to investors as an indication of Fund's sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Usually, the longer the average weighted maturity, the more fluctuation in share price you can expect.

Each Fund may also invest in zero-coupon securities.

Investment Process: JPMIM buys and sells securities and investments for each Fund based on its view of individual securities and market sectors. Taking a long-term approach, JPMIM looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles. JPMIM is value oriented and makes investment decisions after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity, any security pledge, and a review of the security's attributes such as the coupon, maturity and any redemption and tender provisions. JPMIM's risk/reward analysis along with its use of proceeds process allows JPMIM to collectively evaluate those criteria when selecting securities for purchase.

JPMIM utilizes a proprietary framework to monitor the portfolio's overall investment in bonds that have been designated as providing positive social or environmental benefits. Through the framework, JPMIM assesses characteristics of bond issuances and their proceeds using third party data and/or internal research. The proprietary framework, as well as JPMIM's views on municipal bond use of proceeds, are periodically reviewed internally.

Generally, JPMIM determines whether or not to sell a security by looking at a number of factors such as the security's attributes (e.g., coupon, maturity and redemption/tender provisions), liquidity, relative value and the credit quality of the security. JPMIM also factors in the overall investment strategy of each Fund, including its positioning relative to the benchmark, its duration and its credit strategy, as well as JPMIM's interest rate outlook.

Each Fund operates as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.

<u>Fundamental Investment Policies</u> 

Each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund have adopted the same fundamental investment policies, which may not be changed without prior shareholder approval. The fundamental investment policies for JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF, JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF, JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond ETF, and JPMorgan

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Sustainable Municipal Income ETF are listed in the Funds' statement of additional information dated March 10, 2023. These materials are incorporated by reference into the Statement of Additional Information, and are available upon request. Each Target Fund's fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies are listed in its respective statement of additional information, each of which is incorporated by reference into the Statement of Additional Information, and is available upon request.

***What are the principal risks of an investment in the Acquiring Funds?***

An investment in each Acquiring Fund involves risks common to most open-end funds. There is no guarantee against losses resulting from investments in the Funds, nor that the Funds will achieve their investment objectives. You may lose money if you invest in the Funds. The risks associated with an investment in the shares of an Acquiring Fund and its corresponding Target Fund are substantially similar, except that each Acquiring Fund is subject to certain risks specific to operating as an ETF. An investment in the shares of an Acquiring Fund is subject to the following ETF-specific risks:

**ETF Shares Trading Risk:** Acquiring Fund shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq, Cboe or NYSE Arca (each, an "Exchange"), and are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of an Acquiring Fund's shares are expected to fluctuate, in some cases materially, in response to changes in an Acquiring Fund's NAV, the intraday value of the Acquiring Fund's holdings and supply and demand for the Acquiring Fund's shares. JPMIM cannot predict whether an Acquiring Fund's shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of significant market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for an Acquiring Fund's shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in the Acquiring Fund's shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) to NAV or to the intraday value of the Acquiring Fund's holdings. During such periods, you may incur significant losses if you sell your Acquiring Fund shares. In addition, in stressed market conditions, the market for an Acquiring Fund's shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Acquiring Fund's underlying portfolio holdings. This adverse effect on liquidity for the Acquiring Fund's shares in turn could lead to wider bid/ask spreads and differences between the market price of the Acquiring Fund's shares and the underlying value of those shares. As a new ETF, there is no assurance that active trading markets for the Acquiring Fund's shares will develop or be maintained.

**Authorized Participant Concentration Risk**. Only an authorized participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with an Acquiring Fund. Each Acquiring Fund has a limited number of intermediaries that act as authorized participants and none of these authorized participants is or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that these intermediaries exit the business or are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to an Acquiring Fund and no other authorized participant creates or redeems, an Acquiring Fund's shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.

For further information about the risks of investments in the Funds, see the section entitled "Comparison of the Funds' Risks" below.

***How will the Reorganizations affect my fees and expenses?***

Following the Reorganizations, each Acquiring Fund is expected to have a lower net expense ratio than each share class of its corresponding Target Fund after taking into consideration fee waivers agreed to by JPMIM. These fee waivers will remain in effect for at least three years from the effective date of each Reorganization. A comparison of the fees and expenses of the Target Funds and Acquiring Funds is provided below under the heading, "What are the fees and expenses of the Funds and what might they be after the Reorganizations?"

***What are the distribution arrangements for the Funds?***

The Target Funds and Acquiring Funds are distributed by JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc., (the "Distributor"), which serves as the principal underwriter for the shares of the Funds. The Distributor is registered with the SEC as a

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
broker-dealer and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The Distributor or its agent distributes Creation Units (as defined below) for the Acquiring Funds on an agency basis. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in shares of the Acquiring Funds. The Distributor has no role in determining the investment policies of the Acquiring Funds or the securities that are purchased or sold by the Funds. The Distributor's principal address is 1111 Polaris Parkway, Columbus, OH 43240.

***What are the Funds' arrangements for purchases, exchanges, and redemptions***

The Target Funds and the Acquiring Funds have different procedures for purchasing, exchanging, and redeeming shares, which are summarized below. You may refer to the applicable Acquiring Fund prospectus accompanying this Information Statement/Prospectus under the section entitled "Purchase and Redemption of Shares" for the procedures applicable to purchases and redemptions of the shares of the Acquiring Funds. The Target Fund prospectuses each provide information under the sections entitled "Purchasing Fund Shares," "Exchanging Fund Shares," and "Redeeming Fund Shares" with respect to the procedures applicable to purchases, exchanges, and sales of the shares of the Target Funds.

*Acquiring Funds* 

Most investors will buy and sell shares of the Acquiring Funds in secondary market transactions through brokers. Shares of the Acquiring Funds are listed and traded on the secondary market on an Exchange. Shares of JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF will be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC<sup>®</sup>. Shares of JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond ETF will be listed for trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. Shares of JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF and JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF will be listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. Shares can be bought and sold throughout the trading day like other publicly traded shares. There is no minimum investment. Although shares of an Acquiring Fund are generally purchased and sold in "round lots" of 100 shares, brokerage firms typically permit investors to purchase or sell shares in smaller "odd lots," at no per-share price differential. When buying or selling shares of an Acquiring Fund through a broker, you may incur customary brokerage commissions and charges, and you may pay some or all of the spread between the bid and the offered price in the secondary market on each leg of a round trip (purchase and sale) transaction. The spread varies over time for shares of an Acquiring Fund based on the Acquiring Fund's trading volume and market liquidity and is generally lower if the Acquiring Fund has a lot of trading volume and market liquidity. Shares of an Acquiring Fund will trade on an exchange at prices that may differ to varying degrees from the daily NAV of the shares.

An Acquiring Fund's shares will be issued or redeemed by the Acquiring Fund at NAV per share only in a large specified number of shares called a "Creation Unit" or multiples thereof. Investors such as market makers, large investors and institutions who wish to deal in Creation Units directly with an Acquiring Fund must have entered into an authorized participant agreement with the Distributor, or purchase through a dealer that has entered into such an agreement. Further information about the procedures applicable to purchases and redemptions of Creation Units for an Acquiring Fund is set forth in the Acquiring Fund's prospectus and statement of additional information.

The Acquiring Funds do not provide for the exchange of shares.

*Target Funds* 

An investor may purchase shares of a Target Fund directly from the Target Funds through the Distributor or through a financial intermediary. Each Target Fund offers multiple share classes, and each share class has different sales charges, expenses, and/or minimum investments. Purchase and redemption orders will be accepted only on days that a Target Fund is open for business. The Target Funds are open for business on each day the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for trading. The NYSE is closed for trading on the following holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. A purchase or redemption order received by the Target Funds prior to the close

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. ET) ("Fund Close"), on a day the Target Funds are open for business, will be effected at that day's NAV. The Target Funds will not treat an intra-day unscheduled disruption or closure in NYSE trading as a closure of the NYSE and will calculate NAV as of 4:00 p.m. ET, if the particular disruption or closure directly affects only the NYSE. An order received after the Fund Close will generally be effected at the NAV determined on the next business day. However, orders received by financial intermediaries on a business day prior to the Fund Close and communicated to the Target Funds prior to such time as agreed upon by the Target Funds and the financial intermediary will be effected at the NAV determined on the business day the order was received by the financial intermediary.

Shareholders of the Target Funds may exchange their shares of a Target Fund for shares of other J.P. Morgan mutual funds, subject to the applicable exchange privileges associated with the share class in which the shareholder is transacting. Following an exchange, the fees and expenses of the new share class may be higher than those of the share class the shareholder previously held.

Shareholders of the Target Funds may redeem some or all of their shares on any day that the Target Funds are open for business. Shareholders will not be permitted to enter a redemption order for shares purchased directly through J.P. Morgan Funds Services by check or, for certain share classes, through an ACH transaction for five business days following the acceptance of a purchase order unless such shareholder provides satisfactory proof that their purchase check or, for certain share classes, ACH transaction has cleared (sometimes referred to as uncollected shares). If a Target Fund or financial intermediary receives a redemption order before the close of the NYSE (normally 4 p.m. ET or before 4:00p.m. ET, if the NYSE closes before 4:00 p.m. ET), the shareholder will receive the NAV per share calculated after the redemption order is received in good order (meaning that it includes the information required by, and complies with security requirements implemented by, the Target Fund's transfer agent or the Target Fund), minus the amount of any applicable charges or fees. A shareholder's financial intermediary may have an earlier cut-off time for redemption orders and may charge a fee to process redemption of shares. A shareholder that redeems out of shares of a Target Fund that accrues a daily dividend will accrue a dividend on the day of the redemption.

***What are the Funds' arrangements for payments to broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries?***

If you purchase shares of a Target Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Target Fund, JPMIM and its related companies may pay the financial intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Target Fund over another investment.

If you purchase shares of an Acquiring Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), JPMIM and its related companies may pay the financial intermediary for the sale of shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment.

Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.

**COMPARISON OF SOME IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THE FUNDS** 

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

Each Acquiring Fund is a newly-formed "shell" fund that has not yet commenced operations, and therefore will have no performance history prior to the Reorganization. Each Acquiring Fund has been organized solely in connection with the Reorganization to acquire all of the assets and liabilities of its corresponding Target Fund and continue the business of the Target Fund. Therefore, after the Reorganization, the Target Fund will be the "accounting survivor." This means that the Acquiring Funds will continue to show the historical investment performance and returns of the Target Funds (even after liquidation of the Target Funds).

The historical performance of each Target Fund, as it is to be adopted by its corresponding Acquiring Fund, is included in the Acquiring Fund prospectus(es) that accompanies this Information Statement/Prospectus.

***What are the fees and expenses of the Funds and what might they be after the Reorganizations?***

Shareholders of the Funds pay various fees and expenses, either directly or indirectly. The tables below show the fees and expenses that you would pay if you were to buy, hold and sell shares of each Fund. The fees and expenses in the tables appearing below are based on the expenses paid by each Target Fund as of December 31, 2022 for JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund (the end of the Fund's most recently completed semi-annual period), and August 31, 2022 for JPMorgan High Yield Municipal Fund, JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond Fund, and JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund (the end of the Funds' most recently completed semi-annual period) and the anticipated expenses of each Acquiring Fund during its first year of operation.

The tables show the pro forma expenses of each combined Acquiring Fund after giving effect to the respective Reorganization, based on pro forma net assets as of December 31, 2022 for the Equity Focus Reorganization and August 31, 2022 for the High Yield Municipal Reorganization, the Limited Duration Bond Reorganization, and the Sustainable Municipal Income Reorganization, as if the Reorganization were in effect for the applicable 12 month period. The fee tables do not reflect the costs associated with the Reorganizations. There is no separate pro forma combined column because the Acquiring Funds pro forma tables shows the fees and expenses that will apply going forward; the Acquiring Funds are not operational and do not currently have investment assets. Pro forma numbers are estimated in good faith and are hypothetical. Pro forma numbers do not reflect any potential liquidation of shareholders associated with the Reorganization or cash paid in lieu of fractional Acquiring Fund shares. Actual expenses may vary significantly.

<sup>\*</sup> In connection with the Reorganizations, beginning on March 1, 2023, no sales charges will be imposed on purchases of Class A shares of the Funds, and no CDSC are imposed on redemptions of Class A or Class C shares of the Funds.

<sup>1</sup> "Remainder of Other Expenses" for JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund is based on those incurred by it for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2022. "Remainder of Other Expenses" for JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF is based on its expected expenses, as if the Reorganization were in effect for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022.

The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund's adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund's investment in such money market funds. These waivers are in effect through 10/31/23, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund's investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.

<u>Expense Examples</u> 

These Examples are meant to help you compare the cost of investing in each Acquiring Fund with the cost of investing in the corresponding Target Fund.

Each Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Funds for the time periods indicated. Each Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that a Fund's operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements that are or will be in effect for the Target Funds and the Acquiring Funds, as described above in the Funds' respective fee tables, and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. There is no separate pro forma combined row because the Acquiring Funds pro forma row shows the estimated costs after giving effect to the respective Reorganization; the Acquiring Funds are not operational and do not currently have investment assets. Pro forma numbers are estimated in good faith and are hypothetical. Pro forma numbers do not reflect any potential liquidation of shareholders associated with the Reorganization or cash paid in lieu of fractional Acquiring Fund shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

***What are the Funds' income and capital gain distribution policies?***

The distribution policies of the Target Funds are the same as their corresponding Acquiring Funds with respect to the timing of distributions. JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund and JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF generally distribute net investment income, if any, at least annually. JPMorgan High Yield Municipal Fund and JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF generally distribute net investment income, if any, at least monthly. JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond Fund and JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond ETF generally distribute net investment income, if any, at least monthly. JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund and JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF generally distribute net investment income, if any, at least monthly. Each Fund will distribute net realized capital gain, if any, at least annually. For each taxable year, each Fund will generally distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gain.

***What are the Funds' pricing and valuation arrangements?***

The Target Funds have the same procedures for valuing their portfolio securities as their corresponding Acquiring Funds.

For both the Acquiring Funds and the Target Funds, NAV is calculated each business day as of the close of the Exchange, depending on which exchange a Fund is listed on, which is typically 4:00 p.m. E.T. On occasion, an Exchange will close before 4:00 p.m. E.T. When that happens, a Fund's NAV will be calculated as of the time the applicable Exchange closes, as applicable. The Funds will not treat an intraday unscheduled disruption or closure in an Exchange's trading as a closure of the Exchange, as applicable and will calculate their NAVs as of 4:00 p.m. E.T. if the particular disruption or closure directly affects only the Exchange. Further information about the Funds' pricing and valuation arrangements is contained in the prospectuses and statements of additional information of the Target Funds and Acquiring Funds.

***Who manages the Funds?***

Each Acquiring Fund is a series of the ETF Trust. The ETF Trust is governed by a Board of Trustees, which is responsible for overseeing all business activities of the Acquiring Funds.

JPMIM is the investment adviser to the Acquiring Funds. JPMIM is located at 383 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10179. JPMIM also serves as the investment adviser to the Target Funds. JPMIM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Asset Management Holdings Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. ("JPMorgan Chase"), a bank holding company. In rendering investment advisory services to the Funds, JPMIM uses the portfolio management, research and other resources of a foreign (non-U.S.) affiliate of JPMIM and may provide services to the Funds through a "participating affiliate" arrangement, as that term is used in relief granted by the staff of the SEC. Under this relief, U.S. registered investment advisers are allowed to use portfolio management or research resources of advisory affiliates subject to the regulatory supervision of the registered investment adviser.

Each Target Fund currently pays JPMIM an advisory fee based on a percentage of average daily net assets. The management fee for each Target Fund is as follows:

The Acquiring Funds have no operational history and therefore no effective annual advisory fees to report.

A discussion of the basis the Target Funds Board used in approving the investment advisory agreement for each of the Target Funds is available in the applicable recent shareholder report for the Funds. A discussion of the basis the Acquiring Funds Board used in approving the investment advisory agreement for each of the Acquiring Funds will be available in the first shareholder report for each of the Acquiring Funds.

The Funds' portfolio management teams are composed as follows:

***Additional Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement***

In addition to the contractual fee waivers described above, service providers to the Acquiring Funds (as is the case for the Target Funds) may, from time to time, voluntarily waive all or a portion of any fees to which they are entitled and/or reimburse certain expenses as they may determine from time to time. The Funds' service providers may discontinue or modify these voluntary actions at any time without notice. Performance for the Acquiring Funds, when available, will reflect (and performance for the Target Funds reflects) the voluntary waiver of fees and/or the reimbursement of expenses, if any. Without these voluntary waivers and/or expense reimbursements, performance would be less favorable.

**INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATIONS** 

***Reasons for the Reorganizations***

After consideration of all relevant factors, including the potential impact of the Reorganizations on different subsets of each Target Fund's shareholders, JPMIM proposed that each Target Fund be reorganized into its corresponding Acquiring Fund because of certain benefits associated with the ETF structure, which JPMIM believes will better serve the interests of shareholders. Each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund have identical investment objectives and investment restrictions and have substantially similar investment strategies. The Acquiring Funds, however, will have the benefits of operating in the ETF structure. JPMIM will continue as the investment adviser of each Acquiring Fund after the Reorganization and no change in portfolio managers will result from the Reorganization.

As shareholders of ETFs after the Reorganizations, shareholders may bear certain costs associated with maintaining brokerage accounts and buying and selling Acquiring Fund shares in the secondary market, including commissions, spreads and other transactions costs, that the shareholders do not experience as shareholders of the Target Funds.

Current shareholders of each class of the Target Funds are expected to benefit directly from the reduced net expense ratio of each corresponding Acquiring Fund. Following the Reorganizations, each Acquiring Fund will have a lower net expense ratio than each share class of its corresponding Target Fund after taking into consideration fee waivers agreed to by JPMIM. These fee waivers will remain in effect for at least three years from the effective date of each Reorganization.

Current shareholders of each class of the JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund also are expected to benefit from the potential for greater tax efficiency with the ETF structure with respect to the management of capital gains distributions. The other Acquiring Funds will not benefit from the enhanced tax efficiency of the ETF structure to the same extent as JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF. While the tax treatment of ETFs and mutual funds is the same, the mechanics of the creation and redemption process for ETFs allow ETFs to acquire securities in-kind and redeem securities in-kind, which generally allows shareholders of an ETF to defer the realization of capital gains as the result of the ETF's portfolio transactions. In contrast, when portfolio securities are sold within a mutual fund (either to rebalance the mutual fund's holdings or to raise cash for redemptions), the sale can create capital gains within the mutual fund that impact all taxable shareholders of the mutual fund. The other Acquiring Funds generally expect to effect their creations and redemptions entirely (or, in the case of the JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF and the JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF, in part) on a cash basis, unlike JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF, which generally expects to effect its creations and redemptions in-kind.

Relatedly, ETFs typically do not have to maintain as large cash positions or sell as many securities to meet redemption requests. Accordingly, the JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF may operate with less cash and incur lower transaction costs than its corresponding Target Fund. Because it is anticipated that JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF, JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond ETF, and JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF may create and redeem entirely or in part on a cash basis, each of these Acquiring Funds is expected to maintain cash positions similar to its respective corresponding Target Fund. The Reorganizations should still provide some enhanced tax efficiency for these Acquiring Funds, as ETFs generally experience fewer portfolio transactions than mutual funds due to the secondary market liquidity of the ETF structure.

Moreover, ETFs that use their creation and redemption process to acquire securities in-kind and redeem securities in-kind are generally able to externalize certain transaction costs (brokerage fees, commissions, spreads) that traditional open-end funds incur in the ordinary course of their investment activities. These transaction costs can impact a fund's performance. Accordingly, shareholders of the Acquiring Funds may also benefit from a reduction in certain transaction costs that are incurred by the Target Funds.

In addition, shareholders are expected to benefit from the secondary market liquidity of the Acquiring Funds. Shareholders of a Target Fund can only purchase or redeem shares of the Target Fund at a price based on the Target

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Fund's NAV that is next calculated after your order is received by the Target Fund. This NAV is calculated once per business day. Shareholders of an Acquiring Fund, however, will be able to purchase and sell shares of the Acquiring Fund throughout a trading day on the secondary market. These trades will occur at market prices, which may be higher or lower than the Acquiring Fund's NAV. This flexibility will give shareholders the opportunity to act on purchase and sale decisions immediately, rather than once a day.

Shareholders will also gain the additional benefit of full daily transparency into the underlying portfolio holdings of the Acquiring Fund. Currently, the Target Funds only provide periodic disclosure of their complete portfolio holdings. Following the Reorganizations, however, each Acquiring Fund will make its complete portfolio holdings public each business day. This holdings information, along with other information about the Acquiring Funds, will be found on each Acquiring Fund's website. The Trustees also considered JPMIM's view that, because of the Funds' trading strategies and portfolio characteristics, there is no material risk that full daily transparency should allow third parties to gain insight into the Funds' trading patterns in a way that would be harmful to the Funds or their shareholders.

In addition, JPMIM believes that the Reorganizations present attractive opportunities for growth for the Acquiring Funds in light of their expected positioning as ETFs within their respective investment categories, and are intended to expand JPMIM's ability to deliver more of its investment capabilities in the ETF vehicle. JPMIM believes that there is the potential for enhanced growth for the Acquiring Funds based on JPMIM's assessment of the ETF market for these strategies, taking into account, among other factors, peers, trends and demands in their respective investment categories, and the benefits of such growth, such as the potential for cost savings from economies of scale.

The Target Funds Board considered the Reorganizations proposed by JPMIM and approved each Plan with respect to each Target Fund. In considering each Plan, the Target Funds Board requested and received detailed information from the officers of the Target Fund Trusts, and representatives of JPMIM regarding the Reorganizations, including: (1) the investment objectives, investment strategies, and fundamental investment policies of each Target Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Fund; (2) a comparison of the fees and expenses of the Funds; (3) the proposed plans for ongoing management, distribution, and operation of the Acquiring Funds; (4) the management and business of JPMIM and its affiliates; (5) the impact of the Reorganizations on the Target Funds and shareholders of the Target Funds, including different subsets of Target Fund shareholders; and (6) the specific terms of the Plan.

In approving each Reorganization with respect to a Target Fund, the Target Funds Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined that (i) participation in the Reorganization is in the best interest of the Target Funds, and (ii) the interests of the existing Target Fund's shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.

In making these determinations, the Target Funds Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, considered a number of factors, including the potential benefits and costs of each Reorganization to the shareholders of each Target Fund. These considerations included the following:

• The investment objectives and fundamental investment policies of each Target Fund and its corresponding
Acquiring Fund are identical and the investment strategies are substantially similar.

• JPMIM is the adviser of both the Target Funds and Acquiring Funds, and there are no material differences in
the contractual terms of a Target Fund's investment management agreement with JPMIM as compared to the corresponding Acquiring Fund's investment management agreement. The Target Funds Board also considered JPMIM's representation that
a Reorganization will not result in any decline in the level of services from the level of services that historically have been provided to a Target Fund.

• A vote of shareholders of the Target Funds is not required under the organizational documents governing the
Target Funds.

• Each Reorganization met the conditions under Rule 17a-8 under the
1940 Act to be consummated without the vote of shareholders of a Target Fund or Acquiring Fund.

• JPMIM will pay the costs of each Reorganization (including the legal costs associated with the
Reorganizations) by waiving fees or reimbursing expenses to offset the costs incurred by the Target Funds and Acquiring Funds

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
associated with the Reorganizations, including any brokerage fees and expenses incurred by the Funds related to the disposition and acquisition of assets as part of a Reorganization. Brokerage fees and expenses related to the disposition and acquisition of assets (including any disposition to raise cash to pay redemption proceeds) that are incurred in the ordinary course of business will not be covered by JPMIM. <br>

• Each Acquiring Fund will have a lower net expense ratio than each share class of its corresponding Target
Fund after taking into consideration fee waivers agreed to by JPMIM and that these expense limitation agreements will remain in effect for at least three years from the effective date of each Reorganization.

• The Distributor's waiver of Distribution (Rule 12b-1) Fees
beginning on March 1, 2023.

• Shareholders of a Target Fund must have a brokerage account that is permitted to hold ETF shares in order to
receive shares of an Acquiring Fund, and if a shareholder does not hold their shares of a Target Fund through that type of brokerage account, the shareholder will not receive shares of the Acquiring Fund as part of the Reorganization. Instead, the
shareholder's investment will be liquidated and the shareholder will receive cash equal in value to the NAV of their Target Fund shares. If a shareholder holds shares of a Target Fund through a fund direct IRA and does not take action prior to
the Reorganization, the shareholder's Target Fund shares will be exchanged for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund equal in value to the NAV of the shareholder's Target Fund shares. Alternatively, if a shareholder
holds their shares of a Target Fund through an account with a financial intermediary that is not able to hold shares of an Acquiring Fund, like many group retirement plans, the financial intermediary may transfer the shareholder's investment in
a Target Fund to a different investment option prior to a Reorganization. In some cases, the liquidation of an investment and return of cash, or the transfer of an investment, may be subject to fees and expenses and may also be subject to tax. The
Trustees also considered that JPMIM has implemented a communications plan intended to provide significant notice to shareholders so that they may enter into appropriate arrangements prior to the Reorganizations. As part of this communications plan,
JPMIM will engage with Target Fund shareholders on the potential implications of the Reorganizations, including the need to have a brokerage account in place prior to the Reorganization.

• Each Reorganization is intended to be a tax-free reorganization.

• Shares of an Acquiring Fund and, in some cases, cash, that would be received by the shareholders of a Target
Fund in the exchange will be equal in aggregate NAV to the aggregate NAV of their shares of the Target Fund as of the Closing Date of the Reorganization

• The Acquiring Funds do not issue fractional shares, so cash will be paid to some shareholders in lieu of
fractional shares of the Acquiring Funds, in which case, the cash payment may be taxable.

• The alternatives available for shareholders of each Target Fund, including the ability to redeem or exchange
their shares of the Target Fund prior to the Reorganization without being subject to any Fund-imposed fees.

• Current shareholders of JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund only are expected to benefit directly from the potential
for greater tax efficiency and trading efficiency with the ETF structure. The other Acquiring Funds will not benefit from the enhanced tax efficiency of the ETF structure to the same extent as JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF. The Reorganizations should
still provide some enhanced tax efficiency for these Acquiring Funds, as ETFs generally experience fewer portfolio transactions than mutual funds due to the secondary market liquidity of the ETF structure.

• Potential benefits to JPMIM in expanding its ETF line-up and
potential conflicts of interest around such benefits.

Based upon their evaluation of the relevant information presented to it, the Target Funds Board, including all of the Independent Trustees approved each Reorganization. In connection with its approval the Target Funds Board determined with respect to each Reorganization that participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Target Fund and that the interests of existing Target Fund Shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.

**INFORMATION ABOUT THE PLANS** 

This is only a summary of the Plans. You should read the form of the Plan, which is attached as Appendix A to this Information Statement/Prospectus, for complete information about the Reorganizations.

***How will the Reorganizations be implemented?***

Each Reorganization will take place after various conditions are satisfied, including the preparation of certain documents. The ETF Trust and each Target Fund Trust will determine a specific Closing Date on which each Reorganization will take place.

Each Plan provides for the transfer of all of the assets and liabilities of a Target Fund to its corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund having an aggregate net asset value ("NAV") equal to the aggregate NAV of the Target Fund followed immediately by the distribution by the Target Fund to its shareholders of the portion of shares of the Acquiring Fund to which the shareholder is entitled in complete liquidation of the Target Fund except as noted below.

Shares of the Acquiring Fund will be transferred to each shareholder's brokerage account. If a shareholder does not hold their shares of a Target Fund through a brokerage account that can accept shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date of the Reorganization, the shareholder will not receive shares of the Acquiring Fund as part of the Reorganization. Instead, the shareholder's investment will be liquidated and the shareholder will receive cash equal in value to the NAV of their Target Fund shares. If a shareholder holds shares of a Target Fund through a fund direct IRA, the shareholder's Target Fund shares will be exchanged for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund equal in value to the NAV of the shareholder's Target Fund shares unless the shareholder provides alternative direction prior to the Reorganization. Alternatively, if a shareholder holds their shares of a Target Fund through an account with a financial intermediary that is not able to hold shares of an Acquiring Fund, like many group retirement plans, a financial intermediary may transfer the shareholder's investment in a Target Fund to a different investment option prior to the Reorganization. In some cases, the liquidation of your investment and return of cash, or the transfer of your investment, may be subject to fees and expenses and may also be subject to tax. It may take time for you to receive your cash.

After shares of the Acquiring Fund are distributed to the Target Fund's shareholders, the Target Fund will be completely liquidated and dissolved. As a result of a Reorganization, you will cease to be a shareholder of the Target Fund and will become a shareholder of the Acquiring Fund. This exchange will occur on the Closing Date of the Reorganization, which is the specific date on which the Reorganization takes place. The expected Closing Date of each Reorganization is indicated below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Reorganization** | **Expected Closing<br>Date** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; High Yield Municipal Reorganization | July 14, 2023 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sustainable Municipal Income Reorganization | July 14, 2023 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Equity Focus Reorganization | July 28, 2023 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Limited Duration Bond Reorganization | July 28, 2023 |

---

A Closing Date may be delayed. The Target Fund in which you hold shares will publicly disclose any changes to the applicable Closing Date.

The parties may agree to amend the Plan to the extent permitted by law. If the ETF Trust and a Target Fund Trust so agree, a Plan may be terminated or abandoned for one or more Reorganizations at any time before the Reorganizations.

The ETF Trust and each Target Fund Trust have made representations and warranties in their respective Plans that are customary in matters such as the Reorganizations. The Plan contains a number of conditions precedent that must occur

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
before a Target Fund or Acquiring Fund is obligated to proceed with a Reorganization. One of these conditions requires that the ETF Trust and each Target Fund Trust shall have received a tax opinion from Dechert as described below that the consummation of a Reorganization will not result in the recognition of gain (other than gain from cash received in lieu of fractional Acquiring Fund shares or cash received for certain Target Funds' shareholders whose investment is liquidated) or loss for federal income tax purposes for the Target Fund, the Acquiring Fund or their shareholders. Different tax considerations apply to you if you hold your shares of a Target Fund through a fund direct IRA and exchange your Target Fund shares for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund, or if you do not hold your shares of a Target Fund via a brokerage account that can accept shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date and will therefore have your investment liquidated.

Although shareholder approval of the Reorganizations is not required and JPMIM does not anticipate that a Reorganization will be terminated, if a Reorganization is terminated, shareholders of the Target Fund would be notified of the change and the Target Fund would continue to operate as a mutual fund as a series of the respective Target Fund Trust. No Reorganization will be contingent on the occurrence of any other Reorganization.

***Who will pay the expenses of the Reorganizations?***

JPMIM will pay for the costs incurred by the Funds associated with the Reorganizations (including the legal costs associated with the Reorganizations) by waiving fees or reimbursing expenses to offset the costs incurred by the Target Funds and Acquiring Funds associated with the Reorganizations, including any brokerage fees and expenses incurred by the Funds related to the disposition and acquisition of assets as part of a Reorganization.

The costs of the Reorganization shall include, but not be limited to, costs associated with obtaining any necessary order of exemption from the 1940 Act, preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and printing and distribution of the Information Statement/Prospectus, legal fees, accounting fees, and securities registration fees. Brokerage fees and expenses related to the disposition and acquisition of assets (including any disposition to raise cash to pay redemption proceeds) that are incurred in the ordinary course of business will not be covered by JPMIM. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, expenses will in any event be paid by the party directly incurring such expenses if and to the extent that the payment by another person of such expenses would result in the disqualification of such party as a "regulated investment company" within the meaning of Section 851 of the Code.

The following estimated expenses represent management's estimate of the professional fees, charges by service providers, and any costs related to the printing and mailing of this Information Statement/Prospectus, as measured in terms total expenses and as a percentage of a Target Fund's average net assets as of January 31, 2023.

These expenses associated with the Equity Focus Reorganization are estimated to equal $188,150. The expenses associated with the High Yield Municipal Reorganization are estimated to equal $200,750. The expenses associated with the Limited Duration Bond Reorganization are estimated to equal $218,250. The expenses associated with the Sustainable Municipal Income Reorganization are estimated to equal $194,150. The estimated expenses for each Reorganization are expected to equal, respectively, 0.09%, 0.06%, 0.02%, and 0.07% of the average net assets of the applicable Target Fund as of January 31, 2023.

In addition to the foregoing, management estimates that the Funds will incur de minimis<sup>1</sup> transaction costs associated with each Reorganization.

***What are the tax consequences of the Reorganizations?***

The following is a general summary of some of the important U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reorganizations, and is based upon the current provisions of the Code, the existing U.S. Treasury Regulations thereunder, current administrative rulings of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and published judicial

------

<sup>1</sup> Estimated expenses equals approximately $500 for each Reorganization. 

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
decisions, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. These considerations are general in nature and apply with respect to Target Fund shareholders that have their Target Fund shares exchanged for Acquiring Fund Shares. Individual shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the federal, state, local, and foreign tax considerations applicable to them and their individual circumstances. These same considerations generally do not apply to shareholders who hold their shares in a tax-advantaged account, such as an individual retirement account ("IRA") or qualified retirement plan and to the IRA shareholders whose Target Fund Shares are exchanged for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund, or shareholders who do not hold their shares of a Target Fund via a brokerage account that can accept shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date and will therefore have their investment liquidated.

Each Reorganization is intended to be a tax-free "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code for federal income tax purposes. As a condition to the consummation of the Reorganizations, Dechert will deliver an opinion ("Tax Opinion") to the ETF Trust and each Target Fund Trust to the effect that, based on the facts and assumptions stated therein (as well as certain representations made on behalf of the Target Funds and Acquiring Funds) and the existing federal income tax law, and conditioned on the Reorganizations being completed in accordance with their respective Plans, for federal income tax purposes:

• Each Reorganization will qualify as a "reorganization" (as defined in Section 368(a)(1) of
the Code), and each Fund will be a "party to a reorganization" (within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code);

• No Fund will recognize any gain or loss as a direct result of the Reorganization;

• The Target Funds' shareholders will not recognize any gain or loss on the exchange of their Target Fund
shares for corresponding Acquiring Fund shares, except with respect to cash received, if any;

• The aggregate tax basis in Acquiring Fund shares that a Target Fund shareholder receives pursuant to the
Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate tax basis in the Target Fund shares the shareholder holds immediately before the Reorganization (reduced by the amount of any tax basis allocable to a fractional share for which cash is received, if
any). The holding period for Acquiring Fund shares that a Target Fund shareholder receives pursuant to the Reorganization will include the holding period for the Target Fund shares the shareholder holds immediately before the Reorganization,
provided that the shareholder holds the shares as capital assets at the time of the Reorganization;

• An Acquiring Fund's tax basis in each asset the corresponding Target Fund transfers to it will be the
same as the Target Fund's tax basis therein immediately before the Reorganization, and the Acquiring Fund's holding period for each such asset will include the Target Fund's holding period therefore immediately after the
Reorganization; and

• Each Target Fund's tax attributes enumerated in Section 381(c) of the Code will be taken into
account by the corresponding Acquiring Fund without limitation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no opinion will be expressed as to the tax consequences of the Reorganizations on contracts or securities on which gain or loss is recognized upon the transfer of an asset regardless of whether such transfer would otherwise be a nonrecognition transaction under the Code, as to the IRA shareholders exchanging their Target Fund Shares for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund, and as to the shareholders who do not hold their Target Fund Shares via a brokerage account that can accept shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date. None of the Funds have requested or will request an advance ruling from the IRS as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reorganizations.

The Tax Opinion is not binding on the IRS or the courts and is not a guarantee that the tax consequences of the Reorganizations will be as described above. If a Reorganization were consummated but the IRS or the courts were to determine that the Reorganization did not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code, and thus was taxable, the applicable Target Fund would recognize gain or loss on the transfer of its assets to the corresponding Acquiring Fund, and each shareholder of the applicable Target Fund that held shares in a taxable account would recognize a taxable gain

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
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 received.

The tax year of a Target Fund is expected to continue with its Acquiring Fund, and the capital gains, if any, resulting from portfolio turnover prior to the Reorganization will be carried over to the Acquiring Fund. If a Reorganization were to end the tax year of a Target Fund (which is not the intended or expected plan as of the date of this Information Statement/Prospectus), it would accelerate distributions to shareholders from the Target Fund for its short tax year ending on the Closing Date. Such distributions may be taxable and would include any capital gains resulting from portfolio turnover prior to the Reorganization. If determined necessary by the Funds, such a Target Fund will declare a distribution to shareholders, which together with all previous distributions, will have the effect of distributing to shareholders all of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), net tax-exempt income, if any, and net realized capital gains, if any, through the closing of the Reorganization. In addition, even if its tax year is expected to continue with its Acquiring Fund, a Target Fund, if determined to be preferable, may declare a distribution to shareholders prior to Reorganization. Capital gains from securities sales by the Target Funds prior to the Reorganizations may be distributed by the Acquiring Funds after the Reorganizations.

*General Limitation on Losses.* Assuming the Reorganizations qualify as tax-free reorganizations, as expected, each Acquiring Fund will succeed to the tax attributes of the corresponding Target Fund upon the closing of each Reorganization, including any capital loss carryovers that could have been used by each Target Fund to offset its future realized capital gains, if any, for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers of each Target Fund will be available to offset future gains recognized by the combined Acquiring Fund. Capital losses of a Target Fund may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future capital gains.

If, as is anticipated, at the time of the closing of the Reorganizations, an Acquiring Fund has either no assets or de minimis assets incident to its organization, there will be no change of ownership of the corresponding Target Fund as a result of the Reorganizations.

Thus, a reorganization of a Target Fund into an Acquiring Fund is not expected to result in any limitation on the use by the Acquiring Fund of the Target Fund's capital loss carryovers, if any. However, the capital losses of an Acquiring Fund, as the successor in interest to a Target Fund, may subsequently become subject to an annual limitation as a result of sales of the Acquiring Fund shares or other reorganization transactions in which the Acquiring Fund might engage post-Reorganization.

The foregoing description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reorganizations applies generally to shareholders who are not tax-exempt investors and does not take into account your particular facts and circumstances. Consult your own tax advisor about the effect of state, local, foreign, and other tax laws because this discussion only relates to U.S. federal income tax laws.

**CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS** 

JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund and JPMorgan High Yield Municipal Fund are each a series of Trust I. JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond Fund and JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund are each a series of Trust II. Trust I and Trust II were each formed on November 12, 2004 under the laws of the State of Delaware, as Delaware statutory trusts, pursuant to Declarations of Trust dated November 5, 2004. Each Target Fund Trust is registered under the 1940 Act as an open-end management investment company. The operations of each Target Fund Trust are governed by its respective Charter, Bylaws, and state law. The Target Fund Trusts also must adhere to the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder, and any applicable state securities laws. Each Acquiring Fund is a series of the ETF Trust. The ETF Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on February 25, 2010. The operations of the ETF Trust are governed by its Charter, Bylaws, and Delaware law. The ETF Trust also must adhere to the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder, and any applicable state securities laws. Comparisons of the organizational documents governing the ETF Trust and Target Fund Trusts are provided in Appendix B to this Information Statement/Prospectus.

***What are the capitalizations of the Funds?***

The following tables set forth the unaudited capitalization of each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund as of December 31, 2022 for the Equity Focus Reorganization, and as of August 31, 2022 for the High Yield Municipal Reorganization, the Limited Duration Bond Reorganization and the Sustainable Municipal Income Reorganization, and the unaudited pro forma combined capitalization of each Acquiring Fund as adjusted to give effect to the proposed Reorganization. The following are examples of the number of shares of each Acquiring Fund that would have been exchanged for the shares of the corresponding Target Fund if the Reorganization had been consummated, and do not reflect the number of shares or value of shares that would actually be received if each Reorganization, as described, occurs. Pro forma numbers are estimated in good faith and are hypothetical. Pro forma numbers do not reflect any potential liquidation of shareholders associated with the Reorganization or cash paid in lieu of fractional Acquiring Fund shares.

The costs of the Reorganization shall include, but not be limited to, costs associated with obtaining any necessary order of exemption from the 1940 Act, preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and printing and distribution of the Information Statement/Prospectus, legal fees, accounting fees, and securities registration fees. Brokerage fees and expenses related to the disposition and acquisition of assets (including any disposition to raise cash to pay redemption proceeds) that are incurred in the ordinary course of business will not be covered by JPMIM.

**ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ACQUIRING FUNDS** 

**AND THE TARGET FUNDS** 

***Comparison of the Funds' Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies***

The following summarizes the investment objectives and principal investment strategies of each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund. Further information about each Target Fund's and Acquiring Fund's investment objectives and strategies are contained in prospectuses and statements of additional information of the Target Funds and Acquiring Funds,<u> </u>which are on file with the SEC. The prospectuses of the Target Funds and Acquiring Funds are also incorporated herein by reference.

*Equity Focus Reorganization* 

JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund and JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF have the same investment objective. Each Fund seeks long term capital appreciation.

Each Fund employs substantially similar investment strategies in seeking to achieve its objective. JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund is normally managed as a core portfolio, but which has the ability to pro-actively invest more heavily in either growth or value securities depending on market conditions and the convictions of JPMIM. By contrast, for JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF, JPMIM chooses both growth and value securities for the Fund so that the Fund generally is managed as a core portfolio and is not normally significantly weighted towards either growth or value securities. The Fund does, however, have the ability to proactively invest more heavily in either growth or value securities depending on market conditions and the convictions of JPMIM. Each Fund invests in a limited number of U.S. equity securities, generally not more than 40. In choosing securities, each Fund seeks to invest in companies with one or more of the following characteristics:

• A durable franchise

• A sustainable competitive position relative to its peers

• A market leader

• A strong management team focused on increasing shareholder value

• A strong balance sheet.

The size of the allocation of each Fund to growth and value securities will vary based on market conditions, and the convictions of JPMIM each ranging from 35% to 65% of the equity investments in each Fund.

Under normal circumstances, each Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities. "Assets" means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Each Fund typically invests in equity securities with market capitalizations of $1 billion or more. In implementing its main strategies, each Fund invests primarily in common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs), but it may also invest up to 20% of its total assets in common stocks of foreign companies, including depositary receipts. Depositary receipts are financial instruments representing a foreign company's publicly traded securities. A depository receipt trades on a stock exchange in a country different from the company's local market.

Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which each Fund can invest. To the extent each Fund uses derivatives each Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.

If each Fund's portfolio managers cannot find attractive investments, each Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in cash and cash equivalents until appropriate investments are identified.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Investment Process: In managing each Fund, the portfolio managers employ a process that combines research, valuation and stock selection.

In selecting growth stocks, JPMIM focuses on durable companies whose growth potential appears to be underappreciated. These companies are generally going after a large addressable market with a sustainable competitive advantage, and have strong management teams. In selecting value stocks, JPMIM seeks to invest in companies which have durable franchises and which appear to be attractively valued and have the ability to grow intrinsic value per share. Companies with durable franchises generally have a sustainable competitive position relative to peers, high returns on capital, a diversified client or asset base and a strong brand. For JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF, JPMIM considers a company to be attractively valued based on characteristics such as the market value that has been added since the company's inception, profitability based on both its core operations and on an after taxes basis, and market expectations of future growth for the company. In considering whether a company has the ability to increase the intrinsic value per share, the adviser looks at whether management has earned an grown economic profits, i.e., generated returns in excess of the cost of capital over time.

As part of its investment process, JPMIM seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in the universe in which each Fund invests. JPMIM's assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to each Fund's investments in securities and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers may be purchased and retained by each Fund for reasons other than material ESG factors while each Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.

JPMIM may sell a security due to a change in the company's fundamentals or a change in the original reason for purchase of an investment, or if JPMIM no longer considers the security to be attractively valued. Investments may also be sold if a portfolio manager identifies a stock that he or she believes offers a better investment opportunity or to reallocate each Fund's assets between growth and value securities.

Each Fund operates as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.

*High Yield Municipal Reorganization* 

JPMorgan High Yield Municipal Fund and JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF have the same investment objective. Each Fund seeks a high level of current income exempt from federal income taxes.

Each Fund employs the same investment strategies in seeking to achieve its objective. Under normal circumstances, each Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in municipal securities, the income from which is exempt from federal income tax. This is a fundamental policy. For purposes of this policy, "Assets" means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Municipal securities are securities issued by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United States, including the District of Columbia, and their respective authorities, political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and other groups with the authority to act for the municipalities, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax. The securities are issued to raise funds for various public and private purposes. Municipal securities may include, but are not limited to, variable rate demand obligations, short-term municipal notes, municipal bonds, tax exempt commercial paper, private activity and industrial development bonds, tax anticipation notes, and participations in pools of municipal securities.

Municipal securities also include instruments evidencing direct ownership of interest payments or principal payments, or both, on municipal securities, such as tender option bonds and participation interests in all or part of specific holdings of municipal obligations, provided that the applicable issuer receives assurances from legal counsel that the interest payable on the securities is exempt from federal income tax. Additionally, municipal securities include all other instruments that directly or indirectly provide economic exposure to income which is derived from municipalities (such as municipal leases). The securities in which each Fund invests may have fixed rates of return or floating or variable rates.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Each Fund will invest in municipal securities of any maturity. A part of its investments in municipal securities, each Fund will also have the ability to invest up to 100% of each Fund's total assets in below investment grade or unrated securities. Such securities are also known as "junk bonds," "high yield bonds" and "non-investment grade bonds." Junk bonds also include unrated securities that each Fund's adviser believes to be of comparable quality to debt securities that are rated below investment grade. These securities generally are rated in the fifth or lower rating categories (for example, BB+ or lower by Standard & Poor's Corporation (S&P) and Ba1 or lower by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's)). These securities generally offer a higher yield than investment grade securities but involve a high degree of risk. A security's quality is determined at the time of purchase and securities that are rated investment grade or the unrated equivalent may be downgraded or decline in credit quality such that subsequently they would be deemed to be below investment grade.

Each Fund will also invest in investment grade securities. Investment grade securities carry a minimum rating of Baa3, BBB–, or BBB– by Moody's, S&P, or Fitch Ratings (Fitch), respectively, or the equivalent by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) or are unrated but deemed by JPMIM to be of comparable quality. Under normal market conditions, the Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its Assets in securities rated BBB/BB by S&P and Fitch, Baa/Ba by Moody's or unrated securities that JPMIM deems to be of equivalent quality.

Each Fund may also invest in common shares or preferred shares of unaffiliated closed-end funds. Each Fund generally will limit its investments in a single closed-end fund to 5% of its total assets and in all registered investment companies including closed-end funds (other than money market funds) to 10% of its total assets.

Each Fund may invest in shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The ETFs in which each Fund may invest include registered investment companies that seek to track the performance of a particular market index or security. These indexes include not only broad-based market indexes but more specific indexes as well, including those relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries. Ordinarily, each Fund must limit its investments in any single ETF to 5% of its total assets and in all ETFs and other investment companies to 10% of its total assets. However, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted an exemptive rule that allows any fund to disregard these 5% and 10% limitations, subject to certain conditions.

Each Fund may invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, including Treasury bills, bonds and notes. These investments carry different interest rates, maturities and issue dates. The interest on these securities may be exempt from state and local income taxes. Up to 100% of each Fund's assets may be invested in municipal securities, the interest on which may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals. Up to 20% of each Fund's net assets may be invested in securities subject to federal income tax.

Each Fund may also invest in zero-coupon securities, Treasury futures and credit default swaps as part of its main investment strategy.

Each Fund also invests in inverse floaters and restricted securities.

JPMIM buys and sells securities and investments for each Fund based on its view of individual securities and market sectors. Taking a long-term approach, JPMIM primarily looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles. JPMIM is value oriented and makes investment decisions after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity, any security pledge, and a review of the security's attributes, such as the coupon, maturity, and any redemption and tender provisions. JPMIM also factors in the overall investment strategy of each Fund, including its duration and its credit strategy, as well as JPMIM's interest rate outlook. As part of its investment process, JPMIM seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance factors on certain issuers in the universe in which each Fund may invest. JPMIM's assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across sectors to identify financially material issues on each Fund's investments in municipal issues and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with municipal issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased

and retained by each Fund while each Fund may divest or not invest in securities that may be positively impacted by such factors.

Each Fund operates as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.

*Limited Duration Bond Reorganization* 

JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond Fund and JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond ETF have the same investment objective. Each Fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with low volatility of principal.

Each Fund mainly invests in mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, mortgage-related securities, adjustable-rate mortgages, money market instruments, and structured investments. These investments may be structured as collateralized mortgage obligations (agency and non-agency), stripped mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and mortgage pass-through securities. These securities may be structured such that payments consist of interest-only (IO), principal-only (PO) or principal and interest. Under normal circumstances, each Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets in bonds. For purposes of this policy, "Assets" means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.

Each Fund seeks to maintain a duration of three years or less, although, under certain market conditions such as in periods of significant volatility in interest rates and spreads, each Fund's duration may be longer than three years. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of "three years" means that a security's or portfolio's price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve).

Each Fund invests in fixed and floating rate debt securities representing an interest in or secured by residential mortgage loans. These securities often are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities such as the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). However, each Fund may also purchase mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities that are issued by non-governmental entities. Such securities may or may not have private insurer guarantees of timely payments.

Securities purchased by each Fund will be rated investment grade (or the unrated equivalent) at the time of purchase. In addition, all securities will be U.S. dollar-denominated although they may be issued by a foreign corporation, or a U.S. affiliate of a foreign corporation or a foreign government or its agencies and instrumentalities. Each Fund may invest a significant portion or all of its assets in mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities at JPMIM's discretion. Each Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in "sub-prime" mortgage-related securities at the time of purchase.

Each Fund has flexibility to invest in derivatives and may use such instruments to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposure, credit and spread volatility and to respond to volatile market conditions. Derivatives, which are instruments which have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may also be used as substitutes for securities in which each Fund can invest. Each Fund may use futures contracts, options, and swaps in connection with its principal strategies in order to hedge various investments, for risk management purposes and/or to increase income or gain to each Fund.

JPMIM buys and sells securities and investments for each Fund based on its view of individual securities and market sectors. Taking a long-term approach, JPMIM looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles. JPMIM is value oriented and makes decisions to purchase and sell individual securities and instruments after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity, legal provisions and the structure of the transaction. As part of its security selection process, JPMIM seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance factors on certain issuers in the universe in which each Fund may invest. JPMIM's assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across

industries to identify financially material issues on each Fund's investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by each Fund while each Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.

Each Fund operates as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.

*Sustainable Municipal Income Reorganization* 

JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund and JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF have the same investment objective. Each Fund seeks current income exempt from federal income taxes.

Each Fund invests in a portfolio of municipal bonds, including municipal mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. While current income is each Fund's primary focus, it seeks to produce income in a manner consistent with the preservation of principal.

Under normal circumstances, each Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in municipal bonds, the income from which is exempt from federal income tax. This is a fundamental policy. For the purposes of this policy, "Assets" means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Each Fund also invests in municipal mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, as well as restricted securities. Each Fund may invest a significant portion or all of its assets in municipal mortgage-backed securities at JPMIM's discretion. The securities in which each Fund invests may have fixed rates of return or floating or variable rates.

Municipal bonds are debt securities with maturities of 90 days or more at the time of issuance issued by states, territories and possessions of the United States, including the District of Columbia, and their respective authorities, political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax. The securities are issued to raise funds for various public and private purposes. Municipal bonds include private activity and industrial development bonds, tax anticipation notes and participations in pools of municipal securities.

Up to 100% of each Fund's assets may be invested in municipal bonds, the interest on which may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals.

For JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund, "Sustainable" in the Fund's name refers to the Fund's strategy to tilt the Fund's portfolio based on social or environmental benefits as part of its investment strategy. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests the majority of its assets in securities whose use of proceeds, in JPMIM's opinion, provide positive social or environmental benefits ("Sustainable Policy"). By contrast, for JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF, "Sustainable" in the Fund's name refers to the Fund's strategy to invest in sustainable securities. Under normal circumstances, JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF invests at least 80% of its Assets in sustainable municipal securities as determined under JPMIM's investment process (the "Sustainable 80% Policy"). For purposes of the Sustainable 80% Policy, sustainable municipal securities are defined by JPMIM as municipal bonds (as described above) whose use of proceeds, in JPMIM's opinion, provide positive social or environmental benefits. This policy may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval. However, JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF will provide shareholders with written notice at least 60 days prior to a change in its Sustainable 80% Policy.

JPMIM uses the use of proceeds process described below to identify investments for each Fund, other than JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF's investments in derivatives, cash and cash equivalents. For JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund, JPMIM has determined that bonds that finance affordable housing, healthcare, municipal water and sewer, education, mass transit and issuer designated green bonds promote positive social or environmental benefits for purposes of the Sustainable Policy. In addition to the uses of proceeds noted above, JPMIM may identify additional uses of bond proceeds that it believes will provide positive social or environmental benefits for purposes of

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
the Sustainable Policy. In order to identify other types of securities that provide positive social or environmental benefits for purposes of the Sustainable Policy, JPMIM determines and assesses each such security's intended use of proceeds. Compliance with the Fund's 80% Sustainable Policy is determined based on the security's characteristics at the time of purchase. If the use of proceeds of a security changes after the time of purchase so as to no longer provide positive social and/or environmental benefits, the Fund may continue to hold the security. For JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF, JPMIM has determined that bonds that finance affordable housing, healthcare, municipal water and sewer, education, mass transit, and issuer designated green bonds promote positive social or environmental benefits for purposes of the Sustainable 80% Policy. In addition to the types of sustainable municipal securities noted above, JPMIM may identify additional types of bonds and uses of bond proceeds that it believes will provide positive social or environmental benefits for purposes of the Sustainable 80% Policy. In order to identify and invest in other types of securities that provide positive social or environmental benefits for purposes of the Sustainable 80% Policy, the adviser determines and assesses such security's intended use of proceeds. Compliance with the Fund's 80% Sustainable Policy is determined based on the security's characteristics at the time of purchase. If the use of proceeds of a security changes after the time of purchase so as to no longer provide positive social and/or environmental benefits, the Fund may continue to hold the security. Up to 20% of JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF's Assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents, derivatives, and investments that JPMIM has not determined provide social or environmental benefits.

JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities rated below investment grade. Such securities are known as "junk bonds," "high yield bonds" and "non-investment grade bonds." Junk bonds also include unrated securities that JPMIM believes to be of comparable quality to debt securities that are rated below investment grade. These securities generally are rated in the fifth or lower rating categories (for example, BB+ or lower by S&P and Ba1 or lower by Moody's). These securities generally offer a higher yield than investment grade securities, but involve a high degree of risk. A security's quality is determined at the time of purchase and securities that are rated investment grade or the unrated equivalent may be downgraded or decline in credit quality, such that, following the time of purchase, they would be deemed to be below investment grade. If the quality of an investment grade security is downgraded subsequent to purchase to below investment grade, JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF may continue to hold the security.

As a matter of fundamental policy, JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF will not invest more than 25% of its total assets: (i) in securities within a single industry; or (ii) in securities of governmental units or issuers in the same state, territory or possession. However, from time to time, JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF will invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipal housing authority obligations.

JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF's average weighted maturity will range from three to 15 years, although JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF may shorten its average weighted maturity to as little as two years if appropriate for temporary defensive purposes. Average weighted maturity is the average of all the current maturities (that is, the term of the securities) of the individual bonds in a Fund calculated so as to count most heavily those securities with the highest dollar value. Average weighted maturity is important to investors as an indication of Fund's sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Usually, the longer the average weighted maturity, the more fluctuation in share price you can expect.

Each Fund may also invest in zero-coupon securities.

Investment Process: JPMIM buys and sells securities and investments for each Fund based on its view of individual securities and market sectors. Taking a long-term approach, JPMIM looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles. JPMIM is value oriented and makes investment decisions after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity, any security pledge, and a review of the security's attributes such as the coupon, maturity and any redemption and tender provisions. JPMIM's risk/reward analysis along with its use of proceeds process allows JPMIM to collectively evaluate those criteria when selecting securities for purchase.

JPMIM utilizes a proprietary framework to monitor the portfolio's overall investment in bonds that have been designated as providing positive social or environmental benefits. Through the framework, JPMIM assesses characteristics of bond issuances and their proceeds using third party data and/or internal research. The proprietary framework, as well as JPMIM's views on municipal bond use of proceeds, are periodically reviewed internally.

Generally, JPMIM determines whether or not to sell a security by looking at a number of factors such as the security's attributes (e.g., coupon, maturity and redemption/tender provisions), liquidity, relative value and the credit quality of the security. JPMIM also factors in the overall investment strategy of each Fund, including its positioning relative to the benchmark, its duration and its credit strategy, as well as JPMIM's interest rate outlook.

Each Fund operates as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.

***Comparison of the Funds' Risks***

The risks associated with an investment in each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund are substantially similar, except that, as a shareholder of an Acquiring Fund you will be subject to risks related to the Acquiring Fund's ETF structure; all other differences between the risks of the Acquiring Funds and those of the Target Funds, as described below, reflect only a tailoring or clarification of the risks of the Target Funds, and such differences do not reflect (and should not be interpreted to reflect) any difference in the way the Acquiring Funds will be managed as compared to the Target Funds. In the below discussion, the risks for each Target Fund and Acquiring Fund are identified, followed by a description of each risk.

***Description of Investment Risks***

***Alternative Minimum Tax Risk.*** A Fund may invest all of its assets in municipal bonds, the interest on which may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Shareholders who are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax may have all or a portion of their income from the Fund subject to federal income tax. In addition, corporate shareholders subject to the corporate minimum tax on book income will, with limited exceptions, be required to take the interest on municipal bonds into account in determining their alternative minimum taxable income. Any capital gain distributed by a Fund may be taxable.

***Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk*.** The Fund may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities including so-called "sub-prime" mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities. Collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured as interest-only ("IOs") and principal-only ("Pos"), are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayment than other mortgage-related securities. The risk of default, as described under "Credit Risk," for "sub-prime" mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities.

***Auction Rate Securities Risk.*** The auction rate municipal securities the Fund will purchase will typically have a long-term nominal maturity for which the interest rate is regularly reset through a "Dutch" auction. The interest rate set by the auction is the lowest interest rate that covers all securities offered for sale. While this process is designed to permit

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
auction rate securities to be traded at par value, there is a risk that an auction will fail due to insufficient demand for the securities, which may adversely affect the liquidity and price of auction rate securities. Moreover, between auctions, there may be no secondary market for these securities, and sales conducted on a secondary market may not be on terms favorable to the seller. Thus, with respect to liquidity and price stability, auction rate securities may differ substantially from cash equivalents, notwithstanding the frequency of auctions and the credit quality of the security.

***Cash Transactions Risk.*** Unlike certain ETFs, the Fund expects to generally effect its creations and redemptions entirely (or, in the case of JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF and JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF, in part) for cash, rather than for in-kind securities. Therefore, it may be required to sell portfolio securities and subsequently recognize gains on such sales that the Fund might not have recognized if it were to distribute portfolio securities in-kind. As such, investments in Shares may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that effects its creations and redemptions for in-kind securities.

***Convertible Securities Risk.*** A convertible security generally entitles the holder to receive interest paid or accrued on debt securities or the dividend paid on preferred stock until the convertible security matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged. Before conversion, convertible securities generally have characteristics similar to both debt and equity securities. The value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities. Convertible securities ordinarily provide a stream of income with generally higher yields than those of common stock of the same or similar issuers. Convertible securities generally rank senior to common stock in a corporation's capital structure but are usually subordinated to comparable non-convertible securities. Convertible securities generally do not participate directly in any dividend increases or decreases of the underlying securities, although the market prices of convertible securities may be affected by any dividend changes or other changes in the underlying securities. Contingent convertible securities are subject to additional risk factors. A contingent convertible security is a hybrid debt security typically issued by a non-U.S. bank that may be convertible into equity or may be written down if a pre-specified trigger event such as a decline in capital ratio below a prescribed threshold occurs. If such a trigger event occurs, the Fund may lose the principal amount invested on a permanent or temporary basis or the contingent convertible security may be converted to equity. In addition to being subject to a possible write-down upon the occurrence of a trigger event, contingent convertible securities may also be subject to a permanent write-down or conversion into equity (in whole or in part), if the applicable bank regulator or other public administrative authority having responsibility for managing the orderly dissolution of an institution (the "resolution authority") has determined that the issuer is not viable. Coupon payments on contingent convertible securities may be discretionary and may be cancelled by the issuer. Holders of contingent convertible securities may suffer a loss of capital when comparable equity holders do not. As contingent convertible securities may be perpetual or have long-dated maturities, they may face greater interest rate sensitivity and may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than securities with shorter maturity dates. Such securities also may be subject to prepayment risk due to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.

***Credit Risk*.** The Fund's investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund's investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund's securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer's securities.

***Covenant Lite Loan Risk.*** A Fund may invest in Loans that are "covenant lite" or obtain exposure to such Loans through structured investments. Covenants contained in loan documentation are intended to protect lenders by imposing certain restrictions and other limitations on a borrower's operations or assets and by providing certain information and consent rights to lenders. Covenant lite loans may lack financial maintenance covenants that in certain situations can allow lenders to claim a default on the loan to seek to protect the interests of the lenders. The absence of financial maintenance covenants in a covenant lite loan might result in a lower recovery in the event of a default by the borrower. Covenant lite loans have become much more prevalent in recent years.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
In recent years, there has been a broad trend of weaker or less restrictive covenant protections in both the Loan market. Among other things, under such weaker or less restrictive covenants, borrowers might be able to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities than borrowers who are subject to stronger or more protective covenants. For example, borrowers might be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, return more capital to shareholders, remove or reduce assets that are designated as collateral securing Loans, increase the claims against assets that are permitted against collateral securing Loans or otherwise manage their business in ways that could impact creditors negatively. In addition, certain privately held borrowers might be permitted to file less frequent, less detailed or less timely financial reporting or other information, which could negatively impact the value of the Loans issued by such borrowers. Each of these factors might negatively impact the Loans held by the Fund.

***Currency Risk.*** Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund's securities and may affect the price of the Fund's shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment in that country loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates. Devaluation of a currency by a country's government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. The Fund may engage in various strategies to hedge against currency risk. These strategies may consist of use of forward currency contracts including non-deliverable forward contracts and foreign currency futures contracts. To the extent the Fund enters into such transactions in markets other than in the United States, the Fund may be subject to certain currency, settlement, liquidity, trading and other risks similar to those described in the Fund's prospectus with respect to the Fund's investments in foreign securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund's hedging activities will be effective, and the Fund will incur costs in connection with the hedging. Currency hedging may limit the Fund's return if the relative values of currencies change. Furthermore, the Fund may only engage in hedging activities from time to time and may not necessarily be engaging in hedging activities when movements in currency exchange rates occur.

***Cyber Security Risk.*** As the use of technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the Fund has become more susceptible to operational and financial risks associated with cyber security, including: theft, loss, misuse, improper release, corruption and destruction of, or unauthorized access to, confidential or highly restricted data relating to the Fund and its shareholders; and compromises or failures to systems, networks, devices and applications relating to the operations of the Fund and its service providers. Cyber security risks may result in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders; the inability of the Fund to transact business with its shareholders; delays or mistakes in the calculation of the Fund's NAV or other materials provided to shareholders; the inability to process transactions with shareholders or other parties; violations of privacy and other laws; regulatory fines, penalties and reputational damage; and compliance and remediation costs, legal fees and other expenses. The Fund's service providers (including, but not limited to, the adviser, any sub-advisers, administrator, transfer agent, and custodian or their agents), financial intermediaries, companies in which the Fund invests and parties with which the Fund engages in portfolio or other transactions also may be adversely impacted by cyber security risks in their own businesses, which could result in losses to the Fund or its shareholders. While measures have been developed which are designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security, there is no guarantee that those measures will be effective, particularly since the Fund does not directly control the cyber security defenses or plans of its service providers, financial intermediaries and companies in which it invests or with which it does business.

***Debt Securities and Other Callable Securities Risk.*** As part of its main investment strategy, each Fund invests in debt securities. The issuers of these securities and other callable securities may be able to repay principal in advance, especially when interest rates fall. Changes in prepayment rates can affect the return on investment and yield of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, a Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. A Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.

***Derivatives Risk*.** The Fund may use derivatives in connection with its investment strategies. Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund's original investment. Derivatives are subject to the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. The use of derivatives may not be successful, resulting in losses to the Fund and the cost of such strategies may reduce the Fund's returns. Certain derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including credit risk of the derivative counterparty. In addition, the Fund may use derivatives for non-hedging purposes, which increases the Fund's potential for loss. Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Investing in derivatives will result in a form of leverage. Leverage involves special risks. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund's portfolio securities. Registered investment companies are limited in their ability to engage in derivative transactions and required to identify and earmark assets to provide asset coverage for derivative transactions.

The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the Fund to value accurately.

The Fund's transactions in futures contracts, swaps and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more short-term capital gain and ordinary income subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund's after-tax return.

***Equity Market Risk*.** The price of equity securities may rise or fall, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company's financial condition. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund's portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund's securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.

***Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) and/or Other Investment Company Risk.*** A Fund may invest in shares of other investment companies and ETFs. Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of a Fund's expenses and similar expenses of the underlying investment company or ETF when the Fund invests in shares of another investment company or ETF. A Fund is subject to the risks associated with the ETF's or investment company's investments. ETFs and companies that invest in commodities or currencies are subject to the risks associated with direct investments in commodities or currencies. The price and movement of an ETF or closed-end fund designed to track an index may not track the index and may result in a loss. In addition, closed-end funds that trade on an exchange often trade at a price below their net asset value (also known as a discount). Certain ETFs or closed-end funds traded on exchanges may be thinly traded and experience large spreads between the "ask" price quoted by a seller and the "bid" price offered by a buyer.

***Floating and Variable Rate Securities Risk.*** Floating and variable rate securities provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the securities. The rate adjustment intervals may be regular and range from daily up to annually, or may be based on an event, such as a change in the prime rate. Floating and variable rate securities may be subject to greater liquidity risk than other debt securities, meaning that there may be limitations on the Fund's ability to sell the securities at any given time. Such securities also may lose value.

***Foreign Issuer Risk*.** U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such foreign countries. Events and evolving conditions in

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

***Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk*.** Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded "delivery versus payment," the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely.

Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Emerging market countries typically have less established market economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. In addition, the Fund is limited in its ability to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty's legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries.

***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), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund's investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.

For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of this pandemic to public health and business and market conditions, including, among other things, reduced consumer demand and economic output, supply chain disruptions and increased government spending, may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund's investments, increase the Fund's volatility, negatively impact the Fund's arbitrage and pricing mechanisms, exacerbate preexisting political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund's investment performance. The duration and extent of COVID-19 and associated economic and market conditions and uncertainty over the long-term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which the associated conditions impact a Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.

***Geographic Focus Risk*.** The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund's performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund and may be subject to the risks facing certain regions.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
***Government Securities Risk*.** The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac")). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.

***High Yield Securities Risk*.** The Fund may invest in securities that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity.

In recent years, there has been a broad trend of weaker or less restrictive covenant protections in the high yield market. Among other things, under such weaker or less restrictive covenants, borrowers might be able to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities than borrowers who are subject to stronger or more protective covenants. For example, borrowers might be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, return more capital to shareholders, remove or reduce assets that are designated as collateral securing high yield securities, increase the claims against assets that are permitted against collateral securing high yield securities or otherwise manage their business in ways that could impact creditors negatively. In addition, certain privately held borrowers might be permitted to file less frequent, less detailed or less timely financial reporting or other information, which could negatively impact the value of the high yield securities issued by such borrowers. Each of these factors might negatively impact the high yield instruments held by the Fund.

No active trading market may exist for some instruments and certain investments may be subject to restrictions on resale. The inability to dispose of the Fund's securities and other investments in a timely fashion could result in losses to the Fund. Because some instruments may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk may be more pronounced for the Fund. When instruments are prepaid, the Fund may have to reinvest in instruments with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for these instruments, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/ or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield.

***Industry and Sector Focus Risk*.** At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund's shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.

***Initial Public Offering (IPO) Risk.*** IPO securities have no trading history, and information about the companies may be available for very limited periods. The prices of securities sold in IPOs may be highly volatile and their purchase may involve high transaction costs. At any particular time or from time to time, the Fund may not be able to invest in securities issued in IPOs, or invest to the extent desired, because, for example, only a small portion (if any) of the securities being offered in an IPO may be made available to the Fund. In addition, under certain market conditions, a relatively small number of companies may issue securities in IPOs. Similarly, as the number of purchasers to which IPO securities are allocated increases, the number of securities issued to the Fund may decrease. The performance of the Fund during periods when it is unable to invest significantly or at all in IPOs may be lower than during periods

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
when the Fund is able to do so. In addition, as the Fund increases in size, the impact of IPOs on the Fund's performance will generally decrease.

***Interest Rate Risk*.** The Fund invests in debt securities that change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. On the other hand, if rates fall, the value of these investments generally increases. Your investment will decline in value if the value of these investments decreases. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly or as much as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy.

Debt market conditions are highly unpredictable and some parts of the market are subject to dislocations. Beginning in March 2022, the Federal Reserve Board began increasing interest rates and has signaled the possibility of further increases. It is difficult to accurately predict the pace at which the Federal Reserve Board will increase interest rates any further, or the timing, frequency or magnitude of any such increases, and the evaluation of macro-economic and other conditions could cause a change in approach in the future. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.

***Inverse Floater Risk.*** Inverse floaters and inverse IOs are debt securities structured with interest rates that reset in the opposite direction from the market rate to which the security is indexed. Generally, interest rates on these securities vary inversely with a short-term floating rate (which may be reset periodically). They are more volatile and more sensitive to interest rate changes than other types of debt securities. Interest rates on inverse floaters and inverse IOs will decrease when the rate to which they are indexed increases, and will increase when the rate to which they are indexed decreases. In response to changes in market interest rates or other market conditions, the value of an inverse floater or inverse IO may increase or decrease at a multiple of the increase or decrease in the value of the underlying securities. If interest rates move in a manner not anticipated by the adviser, the Fund could lose all or substantially all of its investment in inverse IOs.

***Large Cap Company Risk.*** If a Fund invests in large cap company securities, it may underperform other funds during periods when a Fund's large cap securities are out of favor.

***LIBOR Discontinuance or Unavailability Risk.*** The London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA's consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published, and we recommend that you consult your advisors to stay informed of any such developments. In addition, certain regulated entities ceased entering into most new LIBOR contracts in connection with regulatory guidance or prohibitions. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance, unavailability or replacement, all of which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of a Fund's loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund's investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
used for positions, closing out positions and entering into new trades. Certain of the Fund's investments may transition from LIBOR prior to the dates announced by the FCA. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for the Fund or its investments. No assurances can be given as to the impact of the LIBOR transition (and the timing of any such impact) on the Fund and its investments.

***Loan Risk.*** The Fund may invest in loan assignments and participations ("Loans"),<sup>2</sup> including Loans that are rated below investment grade or the unrated equivalent. Like other high yield, corporate debt instruments, such Loans are subject to an increased risk of default in the payment of principal and interest as well as the other risks described under "Interest Rate Risk," "Credit Risk," "High Yield Securities Risk," and "Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk." Although certain Loans are secured by collateral, the Fund could experience delays or limitations in realizing on such collateral or have its interest subordinated to other indebtedness of the obligor. Loans are vulnerable to market sentiment such that economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for Loans and cause their value to decline rapidly and unpredictably. Although the Fund limits its investments in illiquid securities to no more than 15% of the Fund's net assets at the time of purchase, Loans that are deemed to be liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid.

In recent years, there has been a broad trend of weaker or less restrictive covenant protections in the Loan market. Among other things, under such weaker or less restrictive covenants, borrowers might be able to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities than borrowers who are subject to stronger or more protective covenants. For example, borrowers might be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, return more capital to shareholders, remove or reduce assets that are designated as collateral securing Loans, increase the claims against assets that are permitted against collateral securing Loans or otherwise manage their business in ways that could impact creditors negatively. In addition, certain privately held borrowers might be permitted to file less frequent, less detailed or less timely financial reporting or other information, which could negatively impact the value of the Loans issued by such borrowers. Each of these factors might negatively impact the Loans held by the Fund.

No active trading market may exist for some of the Loans and certain Loans may be subject to restrictions on resale. The inability to dispose of Loans in a timely fashion could result in losses to the Fund. In addition, the settlement period for Loans is uncertain as there is no standardized settlement schedule applicable to such investments. Certain Loans may take more than seven days to settle. Because some Loans that the Fund invests in may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk is more pronounced for the Fund than for funds that invest primarily in other types of fixed income instruments or equity securities. Typically, Loans are not registered securities and are not listed on any national securities exchange. Consequently, there may be less public information available about the Fund's investments and the market for certain Loans may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods. As a result, the Fund may be more dependent upon the analytical ability of its adviser.

When the Fund acquires a loan participation, the Fund typically enters into a contractual relationship with the lender or third party selling such participations, but not the borrower. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the seller of the loan participation and any other parties inter-positioned between the Fund and the borrower. Under a loan participation, the Fund may have no direct rights to enforce the terms of the loan against the borrower. The Fund may not benefit directly from the collateral supporting the load in which it has purchased the loan participations or assignments.

Affiliates of the adviser may participate in the primary and secondary market for Loans. Because of limitations imposed by applicable law, the presence of the adviser's affiliates in the Loan market may restrict the Fund's ability to acquire some Loans, affect the timing of such acquisition or affect the price at which the Loan is acquired. Also, because the adviser may wish to invest in the publicly traded securities of an obligor, it may not have access to material non-public information regarding the obligor to which other investors have access. The Fund will not have direct recourse against the issuer of a loan participation.

------

<sup>2</sup> Loans will typically consist of senior floating rate loans, but may also include secured and unsecured loans, second lien loans or more junior and bridge loans.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Loans are subject to prepayment risks. Gains and losses associated with prepayments will increase or decrease the Fund's yield and the income available for distribution by the Fund. When Loans are prepaid, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for Loans, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield.

***Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) Risk.*** The Fund may invest in MLPs whose ownership interests are publicly traded and that primarily derive their income from, among other industries, the mining, production, transportation or processing of minerals or natural resources, although they may also finance entertainment, research and development, real estate and other projects. Investments held by an MLP may be relatively illiquid, limiting the MLP's ability to vary its portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, MLPs may have limited financial resources, their securities may trade infrequently and in limited volume and they may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than securities of larger or more broadly-based companies. The risks of investing in an MLP are generally those inherent in investing in a partnership as opposed to a corporation. For example, state law governing partnerships is often less restrictive than state law governing corporations. Accordingly, there may be fewer protections afforded investors in an MLP than investors in a corporation. Additional risks involved with investing in an MLP are risks associated with the specific industry or industries in which the partnership invests, such as the risks of investing in real estate, or oil and gas industries.

***Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk.*** Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities, including certain municipal housing authority obligations, differ from conventional debt securities and are subject to certain additional risks because principal is paid back over the life of the security rather than at maturity. The value of these securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. These securities are also subject to prepayment and call risk. Gains and losses associated with prepayments will increase/decrease the income available for distribution by the Fund and the Fund's yield. In periods of declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to contraction risk which is the risk that borrowers will increase the rate at which they prepay the maturity value of mortgages and other obligations. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk which is the risk that the expected maturity of an obligation will lengthen in duration due to a decrease in prepayments. As a result, in certain interest rate environments, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than for other types of debt securities. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities.

The mortgage loans underlying privately issued mortgage-related securities may not be subject to the same underwriting requirements for the underlying mortgages that are applicable to those mortgage-related securities that have government or government-sponsored entity guarantees. As a result, the mortgage loans underlying privately issued mortgage-related securities may have less favorable collateral, credit risk or other underwriting characteristics than government or government-sponsored mortgage-related securities and have wider variances in a number of terms including interest rate, term, size, purpose and borrower characteristics. In addition, certain mortgage-related securities which may include loans that originally qualified under standards established by government-sponsored entities (for example, certain REMICs that include Fannie Mae mortgages) are not considered as government securities for purposes of a Fund's investment strategies or policies. There is no government or government-sponsored guarantee for such privately issued investments.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
A Fund may invest in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs are debt obligations collateralized by mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities. CMOs are issued in multiple classes, and each class may have its own interest rate and/or final payment date. A class with an earlier final payment date may have certain preferences in receiving principal payments or earning interest. As a result, the value of some classes in which the Fund invests may be more volatile and may be subject to higher risk of non-payment.

The values of interest-only (IO) and principal-only (PO) mortgage-backed securities are more volatile than other types of mortgage-related securities. They are very sensitive not only to changes in interest rates, but also to the rate of prepayments. A rapid or unexpected increase in prepayments can significantly depress the price of interest-only securities, while a rapid or unexpected decrease could have the same effect on principal-only securities. In addition, because there may be a drop in trading volume, an inability to find a ready buyer, or the imposition of legal restrictions on the resale of securities, these instruments may be illiquid.

***Municipal Housing Authority Obligations Risk.*** The Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipal housing authority obligations. As a result, the Fund could be more susceptible to developments which affect those obligations.

***Municipal Obligations Risk.*** The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Changes in the financial health of a municipal issuer may make it difficult for the issuer to make interest and principal payments when due. A number of municipalities have had significant financial problems recently, and these and other municipalities could, potentially, continue to experience significant financial problems resulting from lower tax revenues and/or decreased aid from state and local governments in the event of an economic downturn. This could decrease the Funds' income or hurt its ability to preserve capital and liquidity.

Under some circumstances, municipal obligations might not pay interest unless the state legislature or municipality authorizes money for that purpose. Some securities, including municipal lease obligations, carry additional risks. For example, they may be difficult to trade or interest payments may be tied only to a specific stream of revenue.

Municipal bonds may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. Factors contributing to the economic stress on municipalities may include lower property tax collections as a result of lower home values, lower sales tax revenue as a result of consumers cutting back spending and lower income tax revenue as a result of a higher unemployment rate. In addition, since some municipal obligations may be secured or guaranteed by banks and other institutions, the risk to a Fund could increase if the banking or financial sector suffers an economic downturn and/or if the credit ratings of the institutions issuing the guarantee are downgraded or at risk of being downgraded by a national rating organization. If such events were to occur, the value of the security could decrease or the value could be lost entirely, and it may be difficult or impossible for a Fund to sell the security at the time and the price that normally prevails in the market.

In addition to being downgraded, an insolvent municipality may file for bankruptcy. For example, Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code provides a financially distressed municipality protection from its creditors while it develops and negotiates a plan for reorganizing its debts. "Municipality" is defined broadly by the Bankruptcy Code as a "political subdivision or public agency or instrumentality of a state" and may include various issuers of securities in which a Fund invests. The reorganization of a municipality's debts may include extending debt maturities, reducing the amount of principal or interest, refinancing the debt or taking other measures, which may significantly affect the rights of creditors and the value of the securities issued by the municipality and the value of a Fund's investments. Interest on municipal obligations, while generally exempt from federal income tax, may not be exempt from federal alternative minimum tax.

***Preferred Securities Risk.*** Preferred securities generally have a preference as to dividends and liquidation over an issuer's common stock but ranks junior to debt securities in an issuer's capital structure. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, dividends on preferred securities are payable only if declared by the issuer's board of directors. As a

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
consequence, if the board of directors of an issuer does not declare dividends or distributions for the relevant dividend or distribution periods, the issuer will not be obligated to pay dividends or distributions on the relevant payment date, and such dividends and distributions may be forfeited. Holders of preferred securities typically do not have voting rights except in certain circumstances where they may be given only limited voting rights. Preferred securities also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions. Preferred shares may carry different rights or obligations in jurisdictions outside of the United States.

***Preferred Stock Risk.*** Preferred stock generally has a preference as to dividends and liquidation over an issuer's common stock but ranks junior to debt securities in an issuer's capital structure. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer's board of directors. Because preferred stocks generally pay dividends only after the issuing company makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt, the value of preferred stocks generally is more sensitive than bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company's financial condition or prospects. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.

***Prepayment Risk*.** The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.

***Privately Placed Securities Risk.*** Privately placed securities generally are less liquid than publicly traded securities and the Fund may not always be able to sell such securities without experiencing delays in finding buyers or reducing the sale price for such securities. The disposition of some of the securities held by the Fund may be restricted under federal securities laws or by the relevant exchange by a governmental or supervisory authority. As a result, the Fund may not be able to dispose of such investments at a time when, or at a price at which, it desires to do so and may have to bear expenses of registering these securities, if necessary. These securities may also be difficult to value.

***Real Estate Securities Risk.*** The value of real estate securities in general, and REITs in particular, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy and environmental factors. Furthermore, a REIT could fail to qualify for tax free pass-through of its income under the Code or fail to maintain its exemption from registration under the 1940 Act, which could produce adverse economic consequences for the REIT and its investors, including the Fund.

The underlying mortgage loans may be subject to the risks of default or of prepayments that occur earlier or later than expected, and such loans may also include so-called "sub-prime" mortgages. The value of REITs will also rise and fall in response to the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. In particular, the value of these securities may decline when interest rates rise and will also be affected by the real estate market and by the management of the underlying properties. REITs may be more volatile and/or more illiquid than other types of equity securities. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund.

In addition, certain of the companies in which the Fund intends to invest may have developed or commenced development on properties and may develop additional properties in the future. Real estate development involves significant risks in addition to those involved in the ownership and operation of established properties, including the risks that financing, if needed, may not be available on favorable terms for development projects, that construction may not be completed on schedule (resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs), that estimates of the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
costs of construction may prove to be inaccurate and that properties may not be leased, rented or operated on profitable terms and therefore will fail to perform in accordance with expectations. As a result, the value of the Fund's investment may decrease in value. Real estate securities have limited diversification and are, therefore, subject to risks inherent in operating and financing a limited number of projects. Real estate securities are also subject to heavy cash

flow dependency and defaults by borrowers or tenants.

***Regulatory and Legal Risk.*** U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by the Fund, the strategies used by the Fund or the level of regulation or taxation applying to the Fund (such as regulations related to investments in derivatives and other transactions). These regulations and laws may adversely impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of the Fund or taxation of shareholders.

***Restricted Securities Risk.*** Restricted securities are securities that cannot be offered for public resale unless registered under the applicable securities laws or that have a contractual restriction that prohibits or limits their resale. Restricted securities include private placement securities that have not been registered under the applicable securities laws, such as Rule 144A securities, and securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued pursuant to Regulation S. Private placements are generally subject to strict restrictions on resale. Restricted securities may not be listed on an exchange and may have no active trading market. Restricted securities may be illiquid. The Fund may be unable to sell a restricted security on short notice or may be able to sell them only at a price below current value. It may be more difficult to determine a market value for a restricted security. Also, the Fund may get only limited information about the issuer of a restricted security, so it may be less able to predict a loss. In addition, if Fund management receives material non-public information about the issuer, the Fund may as a result be unable to sell the securities. Certain restricted securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses.

***Securities Lending Risk.*** The Fund may engage in securities lending. Securities lending involves counterparty risk, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned or returned in a timely manner and/or a loss of rights in the collateral if the borrower or the lending agent defaults. This risk is increased when the Fund's loans are concentrated with a single or limited number of borrowers. In addition, the Fund bears the risk of loss in connection with its investments of the cash collateral it receives from the borrower. To the extent that the value or return of the Fund's investments of the cash collateral declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Fund may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. In situations where the adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the cash collateral investments in the market, the Fund may borrow money to repay the borrower the amount of cash collateral owed to the borrower upon return of the loaned securities. This will result in financial leverage, which may cause the Fund to be more volatile because financial leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund's portfolio securities.

***Smaller Company Risk.*** Investments in smaller companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than investments in larger, more established companies. The securities of smaller companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. As a result, changes in the price of debt or equity issued by such companies may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other securities, especially over the short term. Because smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or may depend on a few key employees, they may be more susceptible to particular economic events or competitive factors than large capitalization companies. This may cause unexpected and frequent decreases in the value of the Fund's investments.

***Smaller and/or Mid-Sized Company Risk.*** Investments in smaller and mid-sized companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than investments in larger, more-established companies. The securities of smaller companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. In addition, smaller companies may be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes. As a result, share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of large capitalization companies, especially over the short term. Because smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
financial resources or may depend on a few key employees, they may be more susceptible to particular economic events or competitive factors than large capitalization companies. This may cause unexpected and frequent decreases in the value of the Fund's investments. These risks are higher for small cap companies.

***Social or Environmental Investing Risk.*** The JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund's investment in securities whose use of proceeds, in the Adviser's opinion, provide positive social or environmental benefits could cause it to perform differently compared to funds that do not have such a policy. Investing in securities whose use of proceeds, in the Adviser's opinion, provide positive social or environmental benefits may result in the Fund forgoing opportunities to buy certain securities when it might otherwise be advantageous to do so, or selling securities when it might be otherwise disadvantageous for it to do so. In addition, there is a risk that the municipal bonds identified by the Adviser's use of proceeds determination do not operate as expected when addressing positive social or environmental benefits. The Adviser's assessment of the positive social or environmental impact of a municipal bond's proceeds is made at the time of purchase and the actual use of proceeds by the issuer could vary over time, which could cause the Fund to be invested in bonds that do not comply with the Fund's approach towards considering social or environmental characteristics. The factors that the Adviser considers in evaluating whether a security has positive social or environmental benefits may change over time. There are significant differences in interpretations of what it means to promote positive social or environmental benefits. While the Adviser believes its definitions are reasonable, the portfolio decisions it makes may differ with other's views. In making investment decisions, the Adviser relies on information and third-party data that could be incomplete or erroneous, which could cause the Adviser to incorrectly assess a municipal bond's positive social or environmental impact.

***Strategy Risk.*** The Fund's investment strategies may not work to generate inflation-protected return. There is no guarantee that the use of derivatives and debt securities will mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds.

***Structured Instrument Risk.*** The Fund may invest in instruments that have similar economic characteristics to equity securities, such as participation notes or other structured instruments that may be developed from time to time ("structured instruments"). Structured instruments are notes that are issued by banks, broker-dealers or their affiliates and are designed to offer a return linked to a particular underlying equity or market.

If the structured instrument were held to maturity, the issuer would pay to the purchaser the underlying instrument's value at maturity with any necessary adjustments. The holder of a structured instrument that is linked to a particular underlying security or instrument may be entitled to receive dividends paid in connection with that underlying security or instrument, but typically does not receive voting rights as it would if it directly owned the underlying security or instrument. Structured instruments have transaction costs. In addition, there can be no assurance that there will be a trading market for a structured instrument or that the trading price of a structured instrument will equal the underlying value of the security, instrument or market that it seeks to replicate. Unlike a direct investment in equity securities, structured instruments typically involve a term or expiration date, potentially increasing the Fund's turnover rate, transaction costs and tax liability.

Due to transfer restrictions, the secondary markets on which a structured instrument is traded may be less liquid than the market for other securities, or may be completely illiquid, which may expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Structured instruments typically constitute general unsecured contractual obligations of the banks, broker-dealers or their relevant affiliates that issue them, which subjects the Fund's to counterparty risk (and this risk may be amplified if the Fund purchase structured instruments from only a small number of issuers). Structured instruments also have the same risks associated with a direct investment in the underlying securities, instruments or markets that they seek to replicate.

***Taxability Risk.*** The Fund's investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer's bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund's dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to federal income tax.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
***Transactions and Liquidity Risk.*** The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests and its liquidity may be negatively impacted. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are large or frequent, occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices for the securities sold, or when the securities the Fund wishes to or is required to sell are illiquid. To the extent a large proportion of Shares are held by a small number of shareholders (or a single shareholder) including funds or accounts over which the adviser or its affiliates have investment discretion, the Fund is subject to the risk that these shareholders will purchase or redeem Shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly, including as a result of an asset allocation decision made by the adviser or its affiliates. To the extent these larger shareholders transact in the secondary market, such transactions may account for a large percentage of the Fund's trading volume on the Exchange, which may have a material effect (upward or downward) on the market price of Shares. In addition to the other risks described in this section, these transactions could adversely affect the ability of the Fund to conduct its investment program. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at its desired time or price or the price at which the securities have been valued for purposes of the Fund's NAV. Illiquidity can be caused by a drop in overall market trading volume, an inability to find a ready buyer, or legal restrictions on the securities' resale. Certain securities that were liquid when purchased may later become illiquid, particularly in times of overall economic distress.

Similarly, large purchases of Shares may adversely affect the Fund's performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. Large redemptions also could accelerate the realization of capital gains, increase the Fund's transaction costs and impact the Fund's performance. To the extent redemptions are effected in cash, an investment in the Fund may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that distributes portfolio securities entirely in-kind.

***Volcker Rule Risk.*** Pursuant to Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and certain rules promulgated thereunder known as the Volcker Rule, if the adviser and/or its affiliates own 25% or more of the outstanding ownership interests of the Fund after the permitted seeding period from the implementation of the Fund's investment strategy, the Fund could be subject to restrictions on trading that would adversely impact the Fund's ability to execute its investment strategy. Generally, the permitted seeding period is three years from the implementation of the Fund's investment strategy. As a result, the adviser and/or its affiliates may be required to reduce their ownership interests in the Fund at a time that is sooner than would otherwise be desirable, which may result in the Fund's liquidation or, if the Fund is able to continue operating, may result in losses, increased transaction costs and adverse tax consequences as a result of the sale of portfolio securities.

***Zero-Coupon, Pay-In-Kind and Deferred Payment Securities Risk.*** The market value of a zero-coupon bond is generally more volatile than the market value of other fixed income securities with similar maturities that pay interest periodically. In addition, federal income tax law requires that the holder of a zero-coupon bond accrue a portion of the discount at which the bond was purchased as taxable income each year, even though the holder receives no interest payments on the bond during the year. The Fund must distribute substantially all of its net income (including non-cash income attributable to zero-coupon bonds) to its shareholders each year to maintain its status as a regulated investment company and to eliminate tax at the Fund level. Accordingly, such accrued discount must be taken into account in determining the amount of taxable distributions to shareholders. The Fund may consequently have to dispose of portfolio securities under disadvantageous circumstances to generate cash to satisfy such distribution requirements. These actions may reduce the assets to which the Fund's expenses could otherwise be allocated and may reduce the Fund's rate of return.

The market value of a zero-coupon, pay-in-kind or deferred payment security is generally more volatile than the market value of interest-paying securities, and is more likely to respond to a greater degree to changes in interest rates and credit quality than other fixed income securities with similar maturities that pay interest periodically. In addition, federal income tax law requires that the holder of a zero-coupon bond accrue a portion of the discount at which the bond was purchased as taxable income each year, even though the holder receives no interest payment on the bond during the year. Each Fund must distribute substantially all of its net income (including non-cash income attributable to zero-coupon bonds) to its shareholders each year to maintain its status as a regulated investment company and to

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
eliminate tax at the Fund level. Accordingly, such accrued discount must be taken into account in determining the amount of taxable distributions to shareholders. A Fund may consequently have to dispose of portfolio securities under disadvantageous circumstances to generate cash to satisfy such distribution requirements. These actions may reduce the assets to which the Fund's expenses could otherwise be allocated and may reduce the Fund's rate of return.

In addition, (1) the higher yields and interest rates on certain pay-in-kind securities (PIK) reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with such instruments and such investments may represent a significantly higher credit risk than coupon loans; (2) PIK securities may have higher price volatility because their continuing accruals require continuing judgments about the collect- ability of the deferred payments and the value of any associated collateral; (3) PIK interest has the effect of generating investment income and (4) the deferral of PIK interest may also reduce the loan-to-value ratio at a compounding rate.

***Description of Structural Risks***

***Authorized Participant Concentration Risk (Acquiring Funds only)*.** Only an authorized participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of intermediaries that act as authorized participants and none of these authorized participants is or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that these intermediaries exit the business or are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other authorized participant creates or redeems, Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.

***Market Trading Risk (Acquiring Funds only)*.** *Risk that Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV.* Shares of the Fund may trade on the Exchange at prices above, below or at their most recent NAV. The NAV of the Fund's Shares, which is calculated at the end of each business day, will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund's holdings. The market prices of the Shares will also fluctuate, in some cases materially, in accordance with changes in NAV and the intraday value of the Fund's holdings, as well as the relative supply of and demand for the Shares on the Exchange. Differences between secondary market prices of Shares and the intraday value of the Fund's holdings may be due largely to supply and demand forces in the secondary market, which may not be the same forces as those influencing prices for securities held by the Fund at a particular time.

Given the fact that Shares can be created and redeemed by authorized participants in Creation Units, JPMIM believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of Shares should not be sustained in the long-term. While the creation/redemption feature is designed to make it likely that Shares normally will trade close to the value of the Fund's holdings, market prices are not expected to correlate exactly to the Fund's NAV due to timing reasons, supply and demand imbalances and other factors. In addition, disruptions to creations and redemptions, adverse developments impacting market makers, authorized participants or other market participants, or high market volatility may result in market prices for Shares of the Fund that differ significantly from its NAV or to the intraday value of the Fund's holdings. **As a result of these factors, among others, the Fund's Shares may trade at a premium or discount to NAV, especially during periods of significant market volatility.**

Given the global nature of the relevant markets for certain of the securities for the Fund, Shares may trade at a larger premium or discount to NAV than shares of other kinds of ETFs.

*Cost of Buying or Selling Shares.* When you buy or sell Shares of the Fund through a broker, you will likely incur a brokerage commission or other charges imposed by brokers. In addition, the market price of Shares, like the price of any exchange-traded security, includes a "bid-ask spread" charged by the market makers or other participants that trade the particular security. The spread of the Fund's Shares varies over time based on the Fund's trading volume and market liquidity and may increase if the Fund's trading volume, the spread of the Fund's underlying securities, or market liquidity decrease. In times of severe market disruption, including when trading of the Fund's holdings may be halted, the bid-ask spread may increase significantly. This means that Shares may trade at a discount to the Fund's NAV, and the discount is likely to be greatest during significant market volatility. In addition, in stressed market

conditions, the market for an Acquiring Fund's shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Acquiring Fund's underlying portfolio holdings. This adverse effect on liquidity for the Acquiring Fund's shares in turn could lead to wider bid/ask spreads and differences between the market price of the Acquiring Fund's shares and the underlying value of those shares. As a new ETF, there is no assurance that active trading markets for the Acquiring Fund's shares will develop or be maintained.

*Short Selling Risk.* Shares of the Fund, similar to shares of other issuers listed on a stock exchange, may be sold short and are therefore subject to the risk of increased volatility and price decreases associated with being sold short.

*No Guarantee of Active Trading Market Risk.* While Shares are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that active trading markets for the Shares will be maintained by market makers or by authorized participants. The distributor of the Fund's Shares does not maintain a secondary market in the Shares.

*Trading Issues Risk.* Trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange "circuit breaker" rules. If a trading halt or unanticipated early closing of the Exchange occurs, a shareholder may be unable to purchase or sell Shares of the Fund.

There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.

**APPENDIX A** 

**FORM OF AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND LIQUIDATION** 

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND LIQUIDATION ("Agreement") is made as of this [ ] day of [ ], 2023, by J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, a Delaware statutory trust ("ETF Trust"), on behalf of its series [ ] ETF (the "Acquiring Fund"), and [ ], ("Target Trust"), on behalf of its series [ ] (the "Target Fund"), and, with respect to paragraph 10.2 of this Agreement, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. ("JPMIM").

WHEREAS, each of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund is a series of an open-end, investment company of the management type registered pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act");

WHEREAS, the contemplated reorganization and liquidation will consist of (1) the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, and delivery of all of the property and assets ("Assets") of the Target Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of beneficial interest of the Acquiring Fund ("Acquiring Fund Shares") equal in aggregate net asset value to the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of the Target Fund ("Target Fund Shares"), as described herein, (2) the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all liabilities ("Liabilities") of the Target Fund, (3) the distribution of the Acquiring Fund Shares to the shareholders of the Target Fund ("Target Fund Shareholders") who hold Target Fund Shares through a brokerage account that can accept Acquiring Fund Shares, (4) the distribution of cash to Target Fund Shareholders in lieu of fractional Acquiring Fund Shares, (5) with respect to Target Fund Shareholders who do not hold Target Fund Shares through a brokerage account that can accept Acquiring Fund Shares, the distribution of cash equal to the net asset value of the Target Fund Shares held by such Target Fund Shareholders, and (6) with respect to Target Fund Shareholders who hold Target Fund Shares through a fund direct individual retirement account ("IRA"), the exchange of Target Fund Shares for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund, equal in value to the net asset value of such Target Fund Shares held by such Target Fund Shareholders, in complete liquidation of the Target Fund, as provided herein ("Reorganization"), all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement. The Acquiring Fund is, and will be immediately prior to Closing (defined in paragraph 3.1), a shell series, without Assets or Liabilities, created for the purpose of acquiring the Assets and Liabilities of the Target Fund;

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of ETF Trust has determined, with respect to the Acquiring Fund, that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Acquiring Fund; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of Target Trust has determined, with respect to the Target Fund, that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Target Fund and that the interests of the existing Target Fund Shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

**1.** **REORGANIZATION** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1. Subject to the requisite approvals and the other terms and conditions herein set forth and on the basis of
the representations and warranties contained herein, Target Trust, on behalf of the Target Fund, agrees to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver all of its Assets, as set forth in paragraph 1.2, to the Acquiring Fund, and ETF Trust, on behalf
of the Acquiring Fund, agrees in exchange therefor:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) to deliver to the Target Fund a number of full shares of beneficial interest of the Acquiring Fund having
an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the Assets of the Target Fund attributable to the Target Fund Shares on such date, less:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. the value of cash to be distributed to Target Fund Shareholders in lieu of fractional Acquiring Fund
Shares;

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. the value of cash to be distributed to Target Fund Shareholders who do not hold Target Fund Shares through
a brokerage account that can accept Acquiring Fund Shares ("Cash-Out Shareholders"), who shall not receive a distribution of such Acquiring Fund Shares and in lieu thereof shall receive a distribution of cash equal to the net asset value
of their Target Fund Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii. the value of the Target Fund Shares of Target Fund Shareholders whose Target Fund Shares are held through
a fund direct IRA ("IRA Shareholders"), which shall be exchanged for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund equal in value to the net asset value of such Target Fund Shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iv. the value of the Liabilities of the Target Fund attributable to those Target Fund Shares as of the time
and date set forth in paragraph 3.1;

with the number of full shares to be delivered determined by dividing the value of such Target Fund's net Assets (computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 2.1), except for the sum of the values in subparagraph (a)(i)-(iv) of this paragraph 1.1, by the net asset value of one share of Acquiring Fund Shares (as computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 2.2); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to assume all Liabilities of the Target Fund, as set forth in paragraph 1.3. Such transactions shall take
place on the date of the closing provided for in paragraph 3.1 ("Closing Date").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2. The Assets of Target Trust attributable to the Target Fund to be sold, assigned, conveyed, transferred and
delivered to ETF Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, shall consist of all assets of the Target Fund, including, without limitation, all rights, cash, securities, commodities and futures interests and dividends or interests receivable that are
owned by the Target Fund and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Target Fund on the Valuation Date as defined in paragraph 2.1, except for assets having a value equal to the sum of the values in subparagraph
(a)(i)-(iv) of paragraph 1.1. The Target Fund will sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver to the Acquiring Fund any rights, stock dividends, or other securities received by the Target Fund after the Closing Date as stock dividends or other
distributions on or with respect to the Assets transferred, which rights, stock dividends, and other securities shall be deemed included in the Assets transferred to the Acquiring Fund at the Closing Date and shall not be separately valued, in which
case any such distribution that remains unpaid as of the Closing Date shall be included in the determination of the value of the Assets of the Target Fund acquired by the Acquiring Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3. ETF Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, shall assume all of the Liabilities of the Target Fund,
whether accrued or contingent, known or unknown, existing at the Valuation Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.4. Immediately following the actions contemplated by paragraph 1.1, Target Trust shall take such actions
necessary to complete the liquidation of the Target Fund. To complete the liquidation, Target Trust, on behalf of the Target Fund, shall (a) distribute to the Target Fund Shareholders of record (other than Cash-Out Shareholders and IRA Shareholders) as of the Closing Date, as defined in paragraph 3.1, on a pro rata basis, the Acquiring Fund Shares received by Target Trust, on behalf of the Target Fund, pursuant
to paragraph 1.1, (b) distribute cash, as provided in paragraph 1.1 to the Cash-Out Shareholders, and, with respect to IRA Shareholders, initiate the exchange of Target Fund shares for Morgan Shares of
JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund, equal in value to the net asset value of such Target Fund shares held by such Target Fund Shareholders, and (c) completely liquidate. Such liquidation shall be accomplished, with respect to the Target
Fund Shares, by the transfer of the corresponding 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. The

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
aggregate net asset value of Acquiring Fund Shares to be so credited to Target Fund Shareholders shall be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Target Fund Shares owned by Target Fund Shareholders on the Closing Date less: (i) the value of cash to be distributed to Target Fund Shareholders in lieu of fractional Acquiring Fund Shares; (ii) the value of cash to be distributed to Cash-Out Shareholders, who shall not receive a distribution of such Acquiring Fund Shares and in lieu thereof shall receive a distribution of cash equal to the net asset value of their Target Fund Shares; and (iii) the value of the Target Fund Shares of IRA Shareholders whose Target Fund Shares are held through a fund direct IRA, which shall be exchanged for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund equal in value to the net asset value of such Target Fund Shares. All issued and outstanding Target Fund Shares will be canceled on the books of the Target Fund. The Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing Acquiring Fund Shares in connection with such exchange. For the avoidance of doubt: (1) in connection with the above-provided liquidation and distribution of Acquiring Fund Shares, if a Target Fund Shareholder does not hold their Target Fund Shares in a brokerage account that can accept the Acquiring Fund Shares being distributed, then such Target Fund Shareholder shall not receive a distribution of such Acquiring Fund Shares and in lieu thereof shall receive a distribution of cash equal to the net asset value of their Target Fund Shares; and (2) Target Fund Shareholders who hold Target Fund Shares through a fund direct IRA will have their shares exchanged for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund equal in value to the NAV of their Target Fund shares, unless such a Target Fund Shareholder provides alternative direction prior to the Reorganization. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5. Ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares will be shown on the books of the Acquiring Fund's transfer agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.6. Any reporting responsibility of the Target Fund, including, but not limited to, the responsibility for
filing regulatory reports, tax returns, or other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"), any state securities commission, and any federal, state or local tax authorities or any other relevant regulatory
authority, is and shall remain the responsibility of the Target Fund.

**2.** **VALUATION** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. The value of the Assets of the Target Fund shall be determined as of the close of business of the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and after the declaration of any dividends by the Target Fund, on the Closing Date (such time and date being hereinafter called the "Valuation Date"), computed using the
valuation procedures which the Acquiring Fund would use in determining the fair market value of its Assets and Liabilities. The Target Fund will not treat an intraday unscheduled disruption or closure in NYSE trading on the Valuation Date as a
closure of the NYSE and will calculate net asset value as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, if the particular disruption or closure directly affects only the NYSE.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2. The aggregate net asset value of the Acquiring Fund's Acquiring Fund Shares shall be determined to
four decimal places on the Valuation Date, using the valuation procedures established by the Board of Trustees of ETF Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3. The number of Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued in exchange for the Assets shall be determined with
respect to the Target Fund by dividing the value of the net assets with respect to the Target Fund Shares, determined as set forth in paragraph 2.1, except for the sum of the values in subparagraph (a)(i)-(iv) of paragraph 1.1, by the net asset
value per share of the Acquiring Fund Shares, determined as set forth in paragraph 2.2. For the avoidance of doubt, the Acquiring Fund shall not issue fractional shares.

**3.** **CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. The Closing Date shall be [ ], 2023, or such other date as the parties may agree.
All acts taking place at the closing of the transactions provided for in this Agreement ("Closing") shall be deemed to take place

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
simultaneously as of the close of business on the Closing Date unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. The "close of business" on the Closing Date shall be as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The Closing shall be held at the offices of JPMIM or at such other time and/or place, including by virtual means, as the parties may agree. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. Target Trust shall direct JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMCB"), as custodian for the Target Fund
("Target Fund Custodian"), to deliver to ETF Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, at the Settlement Date, as defined below, a certificate of an authorized officer stating that (i) all Assets, cash and other financial interests of
the Target Fund held by the Target Fund Custodian on behalf of the Target Fund pursuant to the Target Fund's custody agreement with the Target Fund Custodian have been delivered to the Acquiring Fund, as of the settlement date of
[ ], 2023 (the "Settlement Date"), (ii) the Target Fund Custodian has paid any and all taxes with respect to the Target Fund that the
Target Fund has specifically and properly instructed the Target Fund Custodian to pay, and agrees to notify the Acquiring Fund in the event it receives notification of any additional taxes that would be due with respect to the Target Fund, and
(iii) all income that is received by the Target Fund Custodian after the Settlement Date for the account of the Target Fund will be credited to the Acquiring Fund in accordance with Section 2.7 of the September 1, 2010 Amended and
Restated Global Custody and Fund Accounting Agreement between the Target Fund and the Target Fund Custodian, as amended from time to time. The Target Fund Custodian shall deliver to JPMCB, as the custodian for the Acquiring Fund (the "Acquiring
Fund Custodian"), as of the Settlement Date by book entry, in accordance with the customary practices of the Target Fund Custodian and of each securities depository, as defined in Rule 17f-4 under the
1940 Act, the Assets of the Target Fund deposited with such depositories. The cash to be transferred by the Target Fund shall be delivered to the Acquiring Fund Custodian on the Settlement Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3. Target Trust shall direct DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc., in its capacity as transfer agent for the
Target Fund ("Transfer Agent"), to deliver to ETF Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that its records contain the name and address of each Target Fund Shareholder and the
number and percentage ownership of Target Fund Shares owned by each such Shareholder immediately prior to the Closing. The Acquiring Fund shall deliver to the Secretary of the Target Fund a confirmation evidencing that (a) the appropriate
number of Acquiring Fund Shares have been credited to the Target Fund's account on the books of the Acquiring Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.1 prior to the actions contemplated by paragraph 1.4 and (b) the appropriate number of Acquiring
Fund Shares have been credited to the accounts of the Target Fund Shareholders on the books of the Acquiring Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.4. At the Closing each party shall deliver to the other party such bills of sale, checks, assignments, share
certificates, if any, receipts or other documents as the other party or its counsel may reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4. In the event that at the Valuation Date (a) the NYSE or another primary trading market for portfolio
securities of the Acquiring Fund or the Target Fund (each an "Exchange") shall be closed to trading or trading thereupon shall be restricted, or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on such Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted
so that accurate appraisal of the value of the net Assets of the Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund is impracticable (in the judgment of the Trustees of Target Trust, with respect to the Target Fund and of the Trustees of ETF Trust with respect to
the Acquiring Fund), the Closing Date shall be postponed until the first Friday (that is also a business day) after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.

**4.** **REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. Except as has been fully disclosed in Schedule 4.1 to this Agreement, Target Trust, on behalf of the
Target Fund, represents and warrants as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Target Fund is duly established as a series of Target Trust, which is a statutory trust duly
organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power under

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
its Certificate of Trust and Agreement and Declaration of Trust (collectively, the "Charter"), as amended, to own all of its Assets and to carry on its business as it is being conducted as of the date hereof. Target Trust is not required to qualify as a foreign trust or association in any jurisdiction, except for any jurisdiction in which it has so qualified or in which a failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect. Target Trust has all necessary federal, state and local authorization to carry on its business as now being conducted and to fulfill the terms of this Agreement, except as set forth in Schedule 4.1. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Target Trust is a registered investment company classified as a management company of the open-end type, and its registration with the Commission as an investment company under the 1940 Act, and the registration of the Target Fund Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933
Act"), is in full force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any court or governmental authority is required for the
consummation by the Target Fund of the transactions contemplated herein, except such as may be required under the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("1934 Act"), the 1940 Act, state securities laws and the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the "Hart-Scott-Rodino Act").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The current prospectuses and statement of additional information of the Target Fund conform in all
material respects to the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and does not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) On the Closing Date, Target Trust, on behalf of the Target Fund, will have good and marketable title to
the Assets and full right, power, and authority to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver such Assets hereunder free of any liens or other encumbrances, and upon delivery and payment for the Assets, ETF Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund,
will acquire good and marketable title thereto, subject to no restrictions on the full transfer thereof, including such restrictions as might arise under the 1933 Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Target Fund is not engaged currently, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
will not result in, (i) a material violation of the Charter or by-laws of Target Trust, as applicable, or of any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease or other undertaking to which Target
Trust, on behalf of the Target Fund, is a party or by which it is bound, or (ii) the acceleration of any material obligation, or the imposition of any material penalty, under any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease, judgment or
decree to which Target Trust, on behalf of the Target Fund, is a party or by which it is bound.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) All material contracts or other commitments of the Target Fund (other than this Agreement, contracts
listed in Schedule 4.1 and certain investment contracts, including options, futures, and forward contracts) will terminate without liability to the Target Fund on or prior to the Closing Date. Each contract listed in Schedule 4.1 is a valid, binding
and enforceable obligation of each party thereto (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other party thereto) and the assignment by the Target Fund to the Acquiring Fund of each such contract will not result in the termination of
such contract, any breach or default thereunder or the imposition of any penalty thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) No litigation or administrative proceeding or investigation of or before any court or governmental body is
presently pending or, to Target Trust's knowledge, threatened against Target Trust, with

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
respect to the Target Fund or any of the Target Fund's properties or assets, that, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect its financial condition or the conduct of its business. Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.1, Target Trust, on behalf of the Target Fund, knows of no facts which 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 which materially and adversely affects its business or its ability to consummate the transactions herein contemplated. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets, and Schedule
of Investments of the Target Fund at [[ ], 2022] have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America ("GAAP") consistently applied. Such statements (true and correct copies of which have been furnished to Target Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of
the Target Fund as of such date in accordance with GAAP, and there are no known contingent, accrued or other Liabilities of the Target Fund required to be reflected on a balance sheet (including the notes thereto) in accordance with GAAP as of such
date that are not disclosed therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Since [ ], there has not been any material adverse change in the Target Fund's
financial condition, Assets, Liabilities or business, other than changes occurring in the ordinary course of business, or any incurrence by the Target Fund of indebtedness, other than the incurrence of indebtedness in the ordinary course of business
in accordance with the Target Fund's investment policies. For the purposes of this subparagraph (j), a decline in net asset value per share of Target Fund Shares due to declines in market values of securities held by the Target Fund, the
discharge of Target Fund Liabilities, or the redemption of Target Fund Shares by Target Fund Shareholders shall not constitute a material adverse change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) On the Closing Date, all federal and other tax returns, dividend reporting forms, and other tax-related reports of the Target Fund required by law to have been filed by such date (including any extensions) shall have been filed and are or will be correct in all material respects, and all federal and other
taxes shown as due or required to be shown as due on said returns and reports shall have been paid or provision shall have been made for the payment thereof and, to the best of Target Trust's knowledge, no such return is currently under audit
and no assessment has been asserted with respect to such returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) For each taxable year of its operation (including with respect to the taxable year that includes the
Closing Date the portion of such taxable year up to the Closing date), the Target Fund has met or meets the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), for qualification as a regulated
investment company, and has been or is eligible to and has computed or will compute its federal income tax under Section 852 of the Code. In that regard, the Target Fund has declared and distributed as of the Closing Date substantially all
amounts required to have been declared and distributed by such Closing Date of (i) its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid), (ii) the excess, if any, of (x) its investment
income excludible from gross income under Section 103 of the Code over (y) its deductions disallowed under Sections 265 and 171 of the Code ("net tax-exempt income"), and (iii) any net
capital gain (after reduction for any capital loss carryforward) (as defined in the Code).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) All issued and outstanding Target Fund Shares are, and on the Closing Date will be, duly authorized and
validly and legally issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable by Target Trust, on behalf of the Target Fund, and will have been offered and sold in every state, territory and the District of
Columbia in compliance in all material respects with applicable registration requirements

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
of all applicable federal and state securities laws. All of the issued and outstanding Target Fund Shares will, at the time of Closing, be held by the persons and in the amounts set forth in the records of the Transfer Agent, on behalf of the Target Fund, as provided in paragraph 3.3. The Target Fund does not have outstanding any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any of the Target Fund Shares, nor is there outstanding any security convertible into any of the Target Fund Shares. The Target Fund will review its Assets to ensure that at any time prior to the Closing Date its Assets do not include any assets that the Acquiring Fund is not permitted, or reasonably believes to be unsuitable for it, to acquire, including without limitation any security that, prior to its acquisition by the Target Fund, is unsuitable for the Acquiring Fund to acquire. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated herein, have
been duly authorized by all necessary trust action on the part of the Board of Trustees of Target Trust, on behalf of the Target Fund, as described in paragraph 8.1, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Target 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;(o) The combined information statement and prospectus ("Information Statement/Prospectus") to be
included in the Registration Statement (as defined in paragraph 5.5), insofar as it relates to the Target Fund and Target Trust, will from the effective date of the Registration Statement through the Closing Date (i) not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not materially misleading (provided that
this representation and warranty shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Information Statement/Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information that was furnished by the Acquiring Fund for use therein) and
(ii) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. The information to be furnished by the Target Fund for use in supplements to registration
statements and other documents filed or to be filed with any federal, state or local regulatory authority (including the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA")), which may be necessary in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, shall be accurate and complete in all material respects and shall comply in all material respects with federal securities and other laws and regulations thereunder applicable thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2. Except as has been fully disclosed to Target Trust in Schedule 4.2 to this Agreement, ETF Trust, on behalf
of the Acquiring Fund, represents and warrants as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Acquiring Fund is duly established as a series of ETF Trust, which is a statutory trust duly
organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power under its Charter, to own all of its Assets and to carry on its business as it is being conducted as of the date hereof. ETF Trust is not required to
qualify as a foreign trust or association in any jurisdiction, except for any jurisdiction in which it has so qualified or in which a failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect. ETF Trust has all necessary federal, state and
local authorization to carry on its business as now being conducted and to fulfill the terms of this Agreement, except as set forth in Schedule 4.2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) ETF Trust is a registered investment company classified as a management company of the open-end type, and its registration with the Commission as an investment company under the 1940 Act and the registration of the Acquiring Fund Shares under the 1933 Act will be in full force and effect as of the
Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any court or governmental authority is required for the
consummation by the Acquiring Fund of the transactions contemplated herein, except such as

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The current prospectus and statement of additional information of the Acquiring Fund conforms in all
material respects to the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and does not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Acquiring Fund is not engaged currently, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
will not result, in (i) a material violation of the Charter or by-laws of ETF Trust, as applicable, or of any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease or other undertaking to which ETF Trust, on
behalf of the Acquiring Fund, is a party or by which it is bound, or (ii) the acceleration of any material obligation, or the imposition of any material penalty, under any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease, judgment or decree to
which ETF Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, is a party or by which it is bound.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) No litigation or administrative proceeding or investigation of or before any court or governmental body is
presently pending or, to ETF Trust's knowledge, threatened against ETF Trust, with respect to the Acquiring Fund or any of the Acquiring Fund's Assets, that, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect the Acquiring
Fund's financial condition or the conduct of its business. Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.2 to this Agreement, ETF Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, knows of no facts which 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 which materially and adversely affects the Acquiring Fund's business or its ability to consummate the transactions herein
contemplated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) As the Acquiring Fund has not yet commenced operations, there has not been any material adverse change in
the Acquiring Fund's financial condition, Assets, Liabilities or business, other than changes occurring in the ordinary course of business, or any incurrence by the Acquiring Fund of indebtedness, other than the incurrence of indebtedness in
the ordinary course of business in accordance with the Acquiring Fund's investment policies. For the purposes of this subparagraph (h), a decline in net asset value per share of Acquiring Fund Shares due to declines in market values of
securities held by the Acquiring Fund, the discharge of Acquiring Fund Liabilities, or the redemption of Acquiring Fund Shares by shareholders of the Acquiring Fund shall not constitute a material adverse change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) On the Closing Date, all federal and other tax returns, dividend reporting forms, and other tax-related reports of the Acquiring Fund required by law to have been filed by such date (including any extensions), if any, shall have been filed and are or will be correct in all material respects, and all
federal and other taxes shown as due or required to be shown as due, if any, on said returns and reports shall have been paid or provision shall have been made for the payment thereof and, to the best of ETF Trust's knowledge, no such return is
currently under audit and no assessment has been asserted with respect to such returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Acquiring Fund intends to meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code for qualification as a
regulated investment company and to be eligible to and will intend to compute its federal income tax under Section 852 of the Code for each taxable year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) All of the issued and outstanding Acquiring Fund Shares are, and on the Closing Date will be, duly
authorized and validly and legally issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable by ETF

been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Trustees of ETF Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of ETF Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring 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;(l) The Information Statement/Prospectus to be included in the Registration Statement, insofar as it relates
to the Acquiring Fund, ETF Trust and the Acquiring Fund Shares, will from the effective date of the Registration Statement through the Closing Date (i) not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact

in or omissions from the Information Statement/Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information that was furnished by the Target Fund for use therein) and (ii) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the 1933
Act, the 1934 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. The information to be furnished by the Acquiring Fund for use in supplements to registration statements and other documents filed or to be filed with any federal, state or

This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned by resolution of the Trustees of ETF Trust with respect to the Acquiring Fund or Target Trust with respect to the Target Fund at any time prior to the Closing Date, if circumstances should develop that, in the opinion of that Board, make proceeding with the Agreement inadvisable with respect to the Acquiring Fund or the Target Fund, respectively.

Because each Acquiring Fund was newly-created for the purposes of its respective Reorganization, the Acquiring Funds have not published annual or semi-annual shareholder reports. *Pro forma* financial statements are not presented for the Reorganization of each Target Fund into the corresponding Acquiring Fund because each Acquiring Fund is a newly-created shell series of ETF Trust with no assets or liabilities that will commence operations upon consummation of the respective Reorganization and continue the operations of the corresponding Target Fund. Each Target Fund shall

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
be the accounting and performance survivor in its respective Reorganization, and each corresponding Acquiring Fund, as the corporate survivor in the Reorganization, shall adopt the accounting and performance history of the corresponding Target Fund.

This SAI is not a prospectus, and should be read in conjunction with the Information Statement/Prospectus, dated [April] [10], 2023, relating to the Reorganizations.

The Information Statement/Prospectus and any of the materials incorporated by reference into this SAI are available upon request, without charge, by calling collect at 1-800-480-4111, by writing to J.P. Morgan Funds Services, P.O. Box 219143, Kansas City, MO 64121-9143, or by accessing documents relating to the Target Funds at the Funds' website at www.jpmorganfunds.com.

**Supplemental Financial Information**

Tables showing the fees and expenses of each Acquiring Fund and its corresponding Target Fund, and the fees and expenses of the Acquiring Funds on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the proposed Reorganizations, are included in the section entitled "What are the fees and expenses of the Funds and what might they be after the Reorganizations?" in the Information Statement/Prospectus. The fee tables do not include separate pro forma tables representing the combined Funds following the Reorganization because the Acquiring Funds pro forma tables show the fees and expenses that will apply going forward; the Acquiring Funds are not operational and do not currently have investment assets. The Reorganizations will not result in a material change to any of the Target Funds' portfolio holdings, as each Acquiring Fund has the same or substantially similar investment objectives, investment strategies, and investment restrictions as its corresponding Target Fund (except as otherwise noted in the Information Statement/Prospectus). Accordingly, a schedule of investments of each Target Portfolio modified to show the effects of such change is not required and is not included. There are no material differences in the accounting policies of each Target Fund as compared to those of its corresponding Acquiring Fund.

**Part C** 

**Item 15.** **Indemnification** <br>

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification provisions for Trustees, Shareholders, officers, employees and agents of Registrant are set forth in Article VII, Sections 2, 4 and 6 of the Declaration of Trust.

**Declaration of Trust:** 

Section 2. <u>Limitation of Liability</u>.

(a) A Trustee, when acting in such capacity, shall not be personally liable to any person other than the Trust or a beneficial owner for any act, omission or obligation of the Trust or any Trustee all as contemplated by Section 3803(b) of the Delaware Act. A Trustee shall not be liable for any act or omission or any conduct whatsoever in his capacity as Trustee, provided that nothing contained herein or in the Delaware Act shall protect any Trustee against any 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 the office of Trustee hereunder. The appointment, designation or identification of a Trustee as the chairperson of the Trustees, the lead or assistant lead independent Trustee, a member or chairperson of a committee of the Trustees, an expert on any topic or in any area (including "audit committee financial expert" as determined for purposes of Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or any successor provision thereto) or having any other special appointment, designation or identification, shall not (a) impose on that person any duty, obligation or liability that is greater than the duties, obligations and liabilities imposed on that person as a Trustee in the absence of the appointment, designation or identification or (b) affect in any way such Trustee's rights or entitlement to indemnification, and no Trustee who has special skills or expertise, or is appointed, designated or identified as aforesaid, shall be held to a higher standard of care by virtue thereof or be limited with respect to any indemnification to which such Trustee would otherwise be entitled.

(b) The officers, employees, Advisory Board Members and agents of the Trust shall be entitled to the protection against personal liability for the obligations of the Trust under Section 3803(c) of the Act. No officer, employee, Advisory Board Member or agent of the Trust shall be liable to the Trust, its Shareholders, or to any Trustee, officer, employee, or agent thereof for any action or failure to act (including, without limitation, the failure to compel in any way any former or acting Trustee to redress any breach of trust) except for his own bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his duties.

Section 4. <u>Indemnification</u>.

(a) <u>General</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Subject to the exceptions and limitations contained in this Section 4, the Trust shall indemnify every Person who is, has been, or becomes a Trustee or officer of the Trust (hereinafter referred to as a "Covered Person") to the fullest extent consistent with Delaware law and the 1940 Act. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Trust shall indemnify each Person who was or is (or is threatened to be made) a party to or otherwise involved in any proceeding, by reason of being or having been a Trustee or officer of the Trust, against attorneys' fees, expenses, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, penalties, fees of expert witnesses, document production fees, and all other liabilities whatsoever actually incurred by him, her or it in connection with such proceeding to the maximum extent consistent with Delaware law and the 1940 Act. The indemnification and other rights provided by this Section 4 shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a Trustee or officer of the Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Subject to the exceptions and limitations contained in this Section 4, the Trust may indemnify every Person who is, has been, or becomes an agent of the Trust to the fullest extent consistent with Delaware law and the 1940 Act. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Trust may indemnify each Person who was or is a party to or otherwise involved in any proceeding, by reason of being or having been an agent of the Trust, against attorneys' fees, expenses, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, penalties and all other liabilities whatsoever actually incurred by him, her or it in connection with such proceeding to the maximum extent consistent with Delaware law and the 1940 Act. The indemnification and other provisions of this Section 4 may be continued as to a Person who has ceased to be an agent of the Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Expenses incurred by a Trustee or officer in connection with the defense of any proceeding of the character described in clause (i) above shall be advanced by the Trust within 90 days of submission of such expenses to the Trust and expenses incurred by an agent in connection with the defense of any proceeding may be advanced by the Trust from

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
time to time prior to final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by, or on behalf of, such Trustee, officer or agent that such amount will be paid over by him, her or it to the Trust if it is ultimately determined that he, she or it is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 4; provided, however, that (a) such Person shall have provided appropriate security for such undertaking, (b) the Trust is insured against losses arising out of any such advance payments, or (c) either a majority of the Trustees who are neither Interested Persons of the Trust nor parties to the proceeding ("Disinterested Trustees"), or independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall have determined, based upon a review of the readily available facts (as opposed to a trial-type inquiry or full investigation), that there is reason to believe that such Trustee, officer or agent will be found entitled to indemnification under this Section 4.

(b) <u>Limitations, Settlements</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Trust shall not indemnify a Trustee, officer or agent who shall have been adjudicated by a court or body before which the proceeding was brought to be liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office (collectively, "disabling conduct").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The Trust shall not indemnify a Trustee, officer or agent unless (i) the court or other body before which the proceeding was brought determines that such Trustee, officer or agent did not engage in disabling conduct or (ii) in the absence of such

Section 6. <u>Insurance</u>.

The Trustees shall be entitled and empowered to the fullest extent permitted by law to purchase with Trust assets insurance for liability and for all expenses reasonably incurred or paid or expected to be paid by a Trustee, officer or agent of the Trust in connection with any proceeding in which he or she may become involved by virtue of his or her capacity or former capacity as a Trustee, officer or agent of the Trust. For purposes of this Section 6, "agent" means any Person who is, was or becomes an employee or other agent of the Trust who is not a Covered Person.

**APPENDIX A** 

**FORM OF AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND LIQUIDATION** 

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND LIQUIDATION ("Agreement") is made as of this [ ] day of [ ], 2023, by J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, a Delaware statutory trust ("ETF Trust"), on behalf of its series [ ] ETF (the "Acquiring Fund"), and [ ], ("Target Trust"), on behalf of its series [ ] (the "Target Fund"), and, with respect to paragraph 10.2 of this Agreement, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. ("JPMIM").

WHEREAS, each of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund is a series of an open-end, investment company of the management type registered pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act");

WHEREAS, the contemplated reorganization and liquidation will consist of (1) the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, and delivery of all of the property and assets ("Assets") of the Target Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of beneficial interest of the Acquiring Fund ("Acquiring Fund Shares") equal in aggregate net asset value to the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of the Target Fund ("Target Fund Shares"), as described herein, (2) the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all liabilities ("Liabilities") of the Target Fund, (3) the distribution of the Acquiring Fund Shares to the shareholders of the Target Fund ("Target Fund Shareholders") who hold Target Fund Shares through a brokerage account that can accept Acquiring Fund Shares, (4) the distribution of cash to Target Fund Shareholders in lieu of fractional Acquiring Fund Shares, (5) with respect to Target Fund Shareholders who do not hold Target Fund Shares through a brokerage account that can accept Acquiring Fund Shares, the distribution of cash equal to the net asset value of the Target Fund Shares held by such Target Fund Shareholders, and (6) with respect to Target Fund Shareholders who hold Target Fund Shares through a fund direct individual retirement account ("IRA"), the exchange of Target Fund Shares for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund, equal in value to the net asset value of such Target Fund Shares held by such Target Fund Shareholders, in complete liquidation of the Target Fund, as provided herein ("Reorganization"), all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement. The Acquiring Fund is, and will be immediately prior to Closing (defined in paragraph 3.1), a shell series, without Assets or Liabilities, created for the purpose of acquiring the Assets and Liabilities of the Target Fund;

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of ETF Trust has determined, with respect to the Acquiring Fund, that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Acquiring Fund; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of Target Trust has determined, with respect to the Target Fund, that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Target Fund and that the interests of the existing Target Fund Shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

**1.** **REORGANIZATION** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1. Subject to the requisite approvals and the other terms and conditions herein set forth and on the basis of the
representations and warranties contained herein, Target Trust, on behalf of the Target Fund, agrees to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver all of its Assets, as set forth in paragraph 1.2, to the Acquiring Fund, and ETF Trust, on behalf of
the Acquiring Fund, agrees in exchange therefor:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) to deliver to the Target Fund a number of full shares of beneficial interest of the Acquiring Fund having an
aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the Assets of the Target Fund attributable to the Target Fund Shares on such date, less:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. the value of cash to be distributed to Target Fund Shareholders in lieu of fractional Acquiring Fund Shares;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. the value of cash to be distributed to Target Fund Shareholders who do not hold Target Fund Shares through a
brokerage account that can accept Acquiring Fund Shares ("Cash-Out Shareholders"), who shall not receive a distribution of such Acquiring Fund Shares and in lieu thereof shall receive a distribution
of cash equal to the net asset value of their Target Fund Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii. the value of the Target Fund Shares of Target Fund Shareholders whose Target Fund Shares are held through a
fund direct IRA ("IRA Shareholders"), which shall be exchanged for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund equal in value to the net asset value of such Target Fund Shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iv. the value of the Liabilities of the Target Fund attributable to those Target Fund Shares as of the time and
date set forth in paragraph 3.1;

with the number of full shares to be delivered determined by dividing the value of such Target Fund's net Assets (computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 2.1), except for the sum of the values in subparagraph (a)(i)-(iv) of this paragraph 1.1, by the net asset value of one share of Acquiring Fund Shares (as computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 2.2); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to assume all Liabilities of the Target Fund, as set forth in paragraph 1.3. Such transactions shall take place
on the date of the closing provided for in paragraph 3.1 ("Closing Date").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2. The Assets of Target Trust attributable to the Target Fund to be sold, assigned, conveyed, transferred and
delivered to ETF Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, shall consist of all assets of the Target Fund, including, without limitation, all rights, cash, securities, commodities and futures interests and dividends or interests receivable that are
owned by the Target Fund and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Target Fund on the Valuation Date as defined in paragraph 2.1, except for assets having a value equal to the sum of the values in subparagraph
(a)(i)-(iv) of paragraph 1.1. The Target Fund will sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver to the Acquiring Fund any rights, stock dividends, or other securities received by the Target Fund after the Closing Date as stock dividends or other
distributions on or with respect to the Assets transferred, which rights, stock dividends, and other securities shall be deemed included in the Assets transferred to the Acquiring Fund at the Closing Date and shall not be separately valued, in which
case any such distribution that remains unpaid as of the Closing Date shall be included in the determination of the value of the Assets of the Target Fund acquired by the Acquiring Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3. ETF Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, shall assume all of the Liabilities of the Target Fund, whether
accrued or contingent, known or unknown, existing at the Valuation Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.4. Immediately following the actions contemplated by paragraph 1.1, Target Trust shall take such actions necessary
to complete the liquidation of the Target Fund. To complete the liquidation, Target Trust, on behalf of the Target Fund, shall (a) distribute to the Target Fund Shareholders of record (other than Cash-Out Shareholders and IRA Shareholders) as of the Closing Date, as defined in paragraph 3.1, on a pro rata basis, the Acquiring Fund Shares received by Target Trust, on behalf of the Target Fund, pursuant to paragraph 1.1, (b) distribute cash, as
provided in paragraph 1.1 to the Cash-Out Shareholders, and, with respect to IRA Shareholders, initiate the exchange of Target Fund shares for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund, equal
in value to the net asset value of such Target Fund shares held by such Target Fund Shareholders, and (c) completely liquidate. Such liquidation shall be accomplished, with respect to the Target Fund Shares, by the transfer of the corresponding
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. The aggregate net asset value of
Acquiring Fund Shares to be so credited to Target Fund Shareholders shall be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Target Fund Shares owned by Target Fund Shareholders on the Closing Date less: (i) the value of cash to be distributed to
Target Fund Shareholders in lieu of fractional Acquiring Fund Shares; (ii) the value of cash to be distributed to Cash-Out Shareholders, who shall not receive a distribution of such Acquiring Fund Shares
and in lieu thereof shall receive a distribution of cash equal to the net asset value of their Target Fund Shares; and (iii) the value of the Target Fund Shares of IRA

------

Shareholders whose Target Fund Shares are held through a fund direct IRA, which shall be exchanged for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund equal in value to the net asset value of such Target Fund Shares. All issued and outstanding Target Fund Shares will be canceled on the books of the Target Fund. The Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing Acquiring Fund Shares in connection with such exchange. For the avoidance of doubt: (1) in connection with the above-provided liquidation and distribution of Acquiring Fund Shares, if a Target Fund Shareholder does not hold their Target Fund Shares in a brokerage account that can accept the Acquiring Fund Shares being distributed, then such Target Fund Shareholder shall not receive a distribution of such Acquiring Fund Shares and in lieu thereof shall receive a distribution of cash equal to the net asset value of their Target Fund Shares; and (2) Target Fund Shareholders who hold Target Fund Shares through a fund direct IRA will have their shares exchanged for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund equal in value to the NAV of their Target Fund shares, unless such a Target Fund Shareholder provides alternative direction prior to the Reorganization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5. Ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares will be shown on the books of the Acquiring Fund's transfer agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.6. Any reporting responsibility of the Target Fund, including, but not limited to, the responsibility for filing
regulatory reports, tax returns, or other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"), any state securities commission, and any federal, state or local tax authorities or any other relevant regulatory authority, is
and shall remain the responsibility of the Target Fund.

**2.** **VALUATION** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. The value of the Assets of the Target Fund shall be determined as of the close of business of the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and after the declaration of any dividends by the Target Fund, on the Closing Date (such time and date being hereinafter called the "Valuation Date"), computed using the
valuation procedures which the Acquiring Fund would use in determining the fair market value of its Assets and Liabilities. The Target Fund will not treat an intraday unscheduled disruption or closure in NYSE trading on the Valuation Date as a
closure of the NYSE and will calculate net asset value as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, if the particular disruption or closure directly affects only the NYSE.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2. The aggregate net asset value of the Acquiring Fund's Acquiring Fund Shares shall be determined to four
decimal places on the Valuation Date, using the valuation procedures established by the Board of Trustees of ETF Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3. The number of Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued in exchange for the Assets shall be determined with respect to
the Target Fund by dividing the value of the net assets with respect to the Target Fund Shares, determined as set forth in paragraph 2.1, except for the sum of the values in subparagraph (a)(i)-(iv) of paragraph 1.1, by the net asset value per share
of the Acquiring Fund Shares, determined as set forth in paragraph 2.2. For the avoidance of doubt, the Acquiring Fund shall not issue fractional shares.

**3.** **CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. The Closing Date shall be [ ], 2023, or such other date as the parties may agree. All
acts taking place at the closing of the transactions provided for in this Agreement ("Closing") shall be deemed to take place simultaneously as of the close of business on the Closing Date unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. The
"close of business" on the Closing Date shall be as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The Closing shall be held at the offices of JPMIM or at such other time and/or place, including by virtual means, as the parties may agree.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. Target Trust shall direct JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMCB"), as custodian for the Target Fund
("Target Fund Custodian"), to deliver to ETF Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, at the Settlement Date, as defined below, a certificate of an authorized officer stating that (i) all Assets, cash and other financial interests of
the Target Fund held by the Target Fund Custodian on behalf of the Target Fund pursuant to the Target Fund's custody agreement with the Target Fund Custodian have been delivered to the Acquiring Fund, as of the settlement date of
[ ], 2023 (the "Settlement Date"), (ii) the Target Fund Custodian has paid any and all taxes with respect to the Target Fund that the Target
Fund has specifically and properly instructed the Target Fund Custodian to pay, and agrees to notify the Acquiring Fund in the event it receives notification of any additional taxes that would be due with respect to the Target Fund, and
(iii) all income that is received by the Target Fund Custodian after the Settlement Date for the account of the Target Fund will be credited to the Acquiring Fund in accordance with Section 2.7 of the September 1, 2010 Amended and
Restated Global Custody and Fund Accounting Agreement between the Target Fund and the Target Fund Custodian, as amended from time to time. The Target Fund Custodian shall deliver to JPMCB, as the custodian for the Acquiring Fund (the "Acquiring
Fund Custodian"), as of the Settlement Date by book entry, in accordance with the customary practices of the Target Fund Custodian and of each securities depository, as defined in Rule 17f-4 under the
1940 Act, the Assets of the Target Fund deposited with such depositories. The cash to be transferred by the Target Fund shall be delivered to the Acquiring Fund Custodian on the Settlement Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3. Target Trust shall direct DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc., in its capacity as transfer agent for the Target
Fund ("Transfer Agent"), to deliver to ETF Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that its records contain the name and address of each Target Fund Shareholder and the number
and percentage ownership of Target Fund Shares owned by each such Shareholder immediately prior to the Closing. The Acquiring Fund shall deliver to the Secretary of the Target Fund a confirmation evidencing that (a) the appropriate number of
Acquiring Fund Shares have been credited to the Target Fund's account on the books of the Acquiring Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.1 prior to the actions contemplated by paragraph 1.4 and (b) the appropriate number of Acquiring Fund Shares
have been credited to the accounts of the Target Fund Shareholders on the books of the Acquiring Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.4. At the Closing each party shall deliver to the other party such bills of sale, checks, assignments, share certificates,
if any, receipts or other documents as the other party or its counsel may reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4. In the event that at the Valuation Date (a) the NYSE or another primary trading market for portfolio
securities of the Acquiring Fund or the Target Fund (each an "Exchange") shall be closed to trading or trading thereupon shall be restricted, or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on such Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted
so that accurate appraisal of the value of the net Assets of the Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund is impracticable (in the judgment of the Trustees of Target Trust, with respect to the Target Fund and of the Trustees of ETF Trust with respect to
the Acquiring Fund), the Closing Date shall be postponed until the first Friday (that is also a business day) after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.

**4.** **REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. Except as has been fully disclosed in Schedule 4.1 to this Agreement, Target Trust, on behalf of the Target
Fund, represents and warrants as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Target Fund is duly established as a series of Target Trust, which is a statutory trust duly organized,
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power under its Certificate of Trust and Agreement and Declaration of Trust (collectively, the "Charter"), as amended, to own all of its Assets and to carry on its
business as it is being conducted as of the date hereof. Target Trust is not required to qualify as a foreign trust or association in any jurisdiction, except for any jurisdiction in which it has so qualified or in which a failure to so qualify
would not have a material adverse effect. Target Trust has all necessary federal, state and local authorization to carry on its business as now being conducted and to fulfill the terms of this Agreement, except as set forth in Schedule 4.1.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Target Trust is a registered investment company classified as a management company of the open-end type, and its registration with the Commission as an investment company under the 1940 Act, and the registration of the Target Fund Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933
Act"), is in full force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any court or governmental authority is required for the
consummation by the Target Fund of the transactions contemplated herein, except such as may be required under the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("1934 Act"), the 1940 Act, state securities laws and the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the "Hart-Scott-Rodino Act").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The current prospectuses and statement of additional information of the Target Fund conform in all material
respects to the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and does not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) On the Closing Date, Target Trust, on behalf of the Target Fund, will have good and marketable title to the
Assets and full right, power, and authority to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver such Assets hereunder free of any liens or other encumbrances, and upon delivery and payment for the Assets, ETF Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, will
acquire good and marketable title thereto, subject to no restrictions on the full transfer thereof, including such restrictions as might arise under the 1933 Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Target Fund is not engaged currently, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will
not result in, (i) a material violation of the Charter or by-laws of Target Trust, as applicable, or of any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease or other undertaking to which Target Trust, on
behalf of the Target Fund, is a party or by which it is bound, or (ii) the acceleration of any material obligation, or the imposition of any material penalty, under any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease, judgment or decree to
which Target Trust, on behalf of the Target Fund, is a party or by which it is bound.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) All material contracts or other commitments of the Target Fund (other than this Agreement, contracts listed in
Schedule 4.1 and certain investment contracts, including options, futures, and forward contracts) will terminate without liability to the Target Fund on or prior to the Closing Date. Each contract listed in Schedule 4.1 is a valid, binding and
enforceable obligation of each party thereto (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other party thereto) and the assignment by the Target Fund to the Acquiring Fund of each such contract will not result in the termination of such
contract, any breach or default thereunder or the imposition of any penalty thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) No litigation or administrative proceeding or investigation of or before any court or governmental body is
presently pending or, to Target Trust's knowledge, threatened against Target Trust, with respect to the Target Fund or any of the Target Fund's properties or assets, that, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect its
financial condition or the conduct of its business. Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.1, Target Trust, on behalf of the Target Fund, knows of no facts which 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 which materially and adversely affects its business or its ability to consummate the transactions herein contemplated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets, and Schedule of
Investments of the Target Fund at [[ ], 2022] have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America ("GAAP") consistently applied. Such statements (true and correct copies of which have been furnished to Target Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of
the Target Fund as of such date in accordance with GAAP, and there are no known contingent, accrued or other Liabilities of the Target Fund required to be reflected on a balance sheet (including the notes thereto) in accordance with GAAP as of such
date that are not disclosed therein.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Since [ ], there has not been any material adverse change in the Target Fund's
financial condition, Assets, Liabilities or business, other than changes occurring in the ordinary course of business, or any incurrence by the Target Fund of indebtedness, other than the incurrence of indebtedness in the ordinary course of business
in accordance with the Target Fund's investment policies. For the purposes of this subparagraph (j), a decline in net asset value per share of Target Fund Shares due to declines in market values of securities held by the Target Fund, the
discharge of Target Fund Liabilities, or the redemption of Target Fund Shares by Target Fund Shareholders shall not constitute a material adverse change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) On the Closing Date, all federal and other tax returns, dividend reporting forms, and other tax-related reports of the Target Fund required by law to have been filed by such date (including any extensions) shall have been filed and are or will be correct in all material respects, and all federal and other
taxes shown as due or required to be shown as due on said returns and reports shall have been paid or provision shall have been made for the payment thereof and, to the best of Target Trust's knowledge, no such return is currently under audit
and no assessment has been asserted with respect to such returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) For each taxable year of its operation (including with respect to the taxable year that includes the Closing
Date the portion of such taxable year up to the Closing date), the Target Fund has met or meets the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), for qualification as a regulated investment
company, and has been or is eligible to and has computed or will compute its federal income tax under Section 852 of the Code. In that regard, the Target Fund has declared and distributed as of the Closing Date substantially all amounts
required to have been declared and distributed by such Closing Date of (i) its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid), (ii) the excess, if any, of (x) its investment income
excludible from gross income under Section 103 of the Code over (y) its deductions disallowed under Sections 265 and 171 of the Code ("net tax-exempt income"), and (iii) any net
capital gain (after reduction for any capital loss carryforward) (as defined in the Code).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) All issued and outstanding Target Fund Shares are, and on the Closing Date will be, duly authorized and validly
and legally issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable by Target Trust, on behalf of the Target Fund, and will have been offered and sold in every state, territory and the District of Columbia in
compliance in all material respects with applicable registration requirements of all applicable federal and state securities laws. All of the issued and outstanding Target Fund Shares will, at the time of Closing, be held by the persons and in the
amounts set forth in the records of the Transfer Agent, on behalf of the Target Fund, as provided in paragraph 3.3. The Target Fund does not have outstanding any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any of the Target Fund
Shares, nor is there outstanding any security convertible into any of the Target Fund Shares. The Target Fund will review its Assets to ensure that at any time prior to the Closing Date its Assets do not include any assets that the Acquiring Fund is
not permitted, or reasonably believes to be unsuitable for it, to acquire, including without limitation any security that, prior to its acquisition by the Target Fund, is unsuitable for the Acquiring Fund to acquire.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated herein, have been
duly authorized by all necessary trust action on the part of the Board of Trustees of Target Trust, on behalf of the Target Fund, as described in paragraph 8.1, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Target 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;(o) The combined information statement and prospectus ("Information Statement/Prospectus") to be included
in the Registration Statement (as defined in paragraph 5.5), insofar as it relates to the Target Fund and Target Trust, will from the effective date of the Registration Statement through the Closing Date (i) not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not materially misleading (provided that this
representation and warranty shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Information Statement/Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information that was furnished by the Acquiring Fund for use therein) and
(ii) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. The information to be furnished by the Target Fund for use in supplements to registration
statements and other documents filed or to be filed with any federal, state or local regulatory authority (including the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA")), which may be necessary in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, shall be accurate and complete in all material respects and shall comply in all material respects with federal securities and other laws and regulations thereunder applicable thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2. Except as has been fully disclosed to Target Trust in Schedule 4.2 to this Agreement, ETF Trust, on behalf of
the Acquiring Fund, represents and warrants as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Acquiring Fund is duly established as a series of ETF Trust, which is a statutory trust duly organized,
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power under its Charter, to own all of its Assets and to carry on its business as it is being conducted as of the date hereof. ETF Trust is not required to qualify as a
foreign trust or association in any jurisdiction, except for any jurisdiction in which it has so qualified or in which a failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect. ETF Trust has all necessary federal, state and local
authorization to carry on its business as now being conducted and to fulfill the terms of this Agreement, except as set forth in Schedule 4.2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) ETF Trust is a registered investment company classified as a management company of the open-end type, and its registration with the Commission as an investment company under the 1940 Act and the registration of the Acquiring Fund Shares under the 1933 Act will be in full force and effect as of the
Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any court or governmental authority is required for the
consummation by the Acquiring Fund of the transactions contemplated herein, except such as may be required under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the 1940 Act, state securities laws and the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The current prospectus and statement of additional information of the Acquiring Fund conforms in all material
respects to the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and does not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Acquiring Fund is not engaged currently, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will
not result, in (i) a material violation of the Charter or by-laws of ETF Trust, as applicable, or of any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease or other undertaking to which ETF Trust, on
behalf of the Acquiring Fund, is a party or by which it is bound, or (ii) the acceleration of any material obligation, or the imposition of any material penalty, under any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease, judgment or decree to
which ETF Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, is a party or by which it is bound.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) No litigation or administrative proceeding or investigation of or before any court or governmental body is
presently pending or, to ETF Trust's knowledge, threatened against ETF Trust, with respect to the Acquiring Fund or any of the Acquiring Fund's Assets, that, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect the Acquiring
Fund's financial condition or the conduct of its business. Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.2 to this Agreement, ETF Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, knows of no facts which 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 which materially and adversely affects the Acquiring Fund's business or its ability to consummate the transactions herein
contemplated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) As the Acquiring Fund has not yet commenced operations, there has not been any material adverse change in the
Acquiring Fund's financial condition, Assets, Liabilities or business, other than changes occurring in the ordinary course of business, or any incurrence by the Acquiring Fund of indebtedness, other than the incurrence of indebtedness in the
ordinary course of business in accordance with the Acquiring Fund's investment policies. For the purposes of this subparagraph (h), a decline in net asset value per share of Acquiring Fund Shares due to declines in market values of securities
held by the Acquiring Fund, the discharge of Acquiring Fund Liabilities, or the redemption of Acquiring Fund Shares by shareholders of the Acquiring Fund shall not constitute a material adverse change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) On the Closing Date, all federal and other tax returns, dividend reporting forms, and other tax-related reports of the Acquiring Fund required by law to have been filed by such date (including any extensions), if any, shall have been filed and are or will be correct in all material respects, and all

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.4. The Registration Statement shall have become effective under the 1933 Act, and no stop orders suspending the
effectiveness thereof shall have been issued and, to the best knowledge of the parties hereto, 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;8.5. With respect to the Reorganization, the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund shall have received an opinion of
Dechert LLP, substantially to the effect that for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Reorganization will constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)
(1)(F) of the Code, and the Acquiring Fund and Target Fund each will be "a party to a reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Under Section 1032 of the Code, no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund upon the receipt

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Under Sections 361 and 357(a) of the Code, no gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund upon the
transfer of the Assets of the Target Fund to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the Target Fund's Liabilities and the Acquiring Fund Shares or upon the distribution (whether actual or constructive)
of the Acquiring Fund Shares to Target Fund Shareholders in exchange for their Target Fund Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Under Section 354 of the Code, no gain or loss will be recognized by any Target Fund Shareholder upon the

Target Fund Shareholder pursuant to the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the Target Fund Shares exchanged in the Reorganization (reduced by any amount of tax basis allocable to fractional shares for which cash is
received);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Under Section 1223(1) of the Code, the holding period of the Acquiring Fund Shares received by each Target
Fund Shareholder will include the period during which the Target Fund Shares exchanged therefor were held by such shareholder, provided the Target Fund Shares are held as capital assets at the time of the Reorganization;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Under Section 362(b) of the Code, the tax basis of the Assets of the Target Fund acquired by the Acquiring

by the Acquiring Fund without limitation.

The opinion will be subject to receipt of and based on certain factual certifications made by officers of the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund and will also be based on customary assumptions.

**<u>Registration Statement on Form N-14</u>** <br>

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We hereby submit for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") the Trust's Registration Statement on Form N-14 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement includes an Information Statement/Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information relating to the conversion of the following four mutual funds (each, a "Target Fund") into exchange-traded funds, which would be effected through the reorganization of each Target Fund into the corresponding Fund (each such reorganization, a "Reorganization"). The table below sets forth each of the Target Funds and the anticipated schedule for each Reorganization:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Target Fund** | **Fund** | **Expected**<br> **Closing Date** |
| JPMorgan High Yield Municipal Fund, a series of JPMorgan Trust I | JPMorgan High Yield Municipal ETF | July 14, 2023 |
| JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund, a series of JPMorgan Trust II | JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income ETF | July 14, 2023 |
| JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund, a series of JPMorgan Trust I | JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF | July 28, 2023 |
| JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond Fund, a series of JPMorgan Trust II | JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond ETF | July 28, 2023 |

---

No shareholder vote is required to complete the Reorganizations. Each Fund is a newly-formed "shell" fund that has not yet commenced operations, and therefore, will have no performance history prior to the Reorganization. Each Fund has been organized solely in connection with the Reorganization to acquire the assets and liabilities of its corresponding Target Fund and continue the business of the Target Fund. Therefore, after each Reorganization, the Target Fund will be the accounting and performance survivor. An analysis supporting this determination, which was made in accordance with the position of the SEC staff (the "Staff") in the *North American Security Trust* no-action letter (Aug. 5, 1994) ("NAST Letter"), is attached as Appendix A hereto.

Pursuant to Rule 488 under the Securities Act of 1933, the Trust proposes that the Registration Statement shall become effective on April 10, 2023.

Please contact Allison M. Fumai (allison.fumai@dechert.com; 212.698.3526) of Dechert LLP, counsel to the Trust, if you have any questions.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Max Vogel<br> Max Vogel<br> Assistant Secretary<br>

**APPENDIX A** 

The following analysis applies to each Reorganization:

In the NAST Letter, the Staff indicated that to determine the accounting survivor in a fund reorganization, the attributes of the participating funds should be compared with those of the surviving fund to determine which of the participants the surviving fund will most closely resemble. The Staff articulated five key factors that should be considered when making this comparison: (1) investment advisers; (2) investment objectives, policies and restrictions; (3) expense structures and expense ratios; (4) asset size; and (5) portfolio composition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Investment Advisers*. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. ("JPMIM") is the investment adviser
to each Fund and Target Fund. The portfolio management team of each Target Fund also will serve as the portfolio management team of the corresponding Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Investment Objectives, Policies and Restrictions*. Each Target Fund and its corresponding Fund have
identical investment objectives and fundamental investment policies and have substantially similar investment strategies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Expense Structures and Expense Ratios*. Each Target Fund and its corresponding Fund have the same expense
structures, except that, unlike certain share classes of the Target Funds, the Funds (which offer only a single class of shares) do not charge distribution (Rule 12b-1) fees or service fees. The total annual
fund operating expenses of each Fund are expected to be lower, and in many cases significantly lower, than the net expenses of each share class of its corresponding Target Fund after taking into consideration expense limitation agreements JPMIM has
entered into with each Fund for a term of at least three years from the date of each Reorganization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Asset Size*. Each Fund has not commenced investment operations and therefore has no assets. Immediately
following the consummation of each Reorganization, the Fund's assets will be comprised solely of the assets of its corresponding Target Fund that were transferred to the Fund in the Reorganization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Portfolio Composition*. Because each Fund and its corresponding Target Fund have identical investment
objectives and fundamental investment policies and have substantially similar investment strategies, the composition of the Fund's portfolio is expected to be substantially similar to that of its corresponding Target Fund.

Because each Fund has been organized solely in connection with the Reorganization to acquire the assets and liabilities of its corresponding Target Fund and continue the business of the Target Fund, in analyzing each of the foregoing factors, the Trust believes that the Target Fund should be the accounting and performance survivor in accordance with the Staff's guidance in the NAST Letter. The Trust believes that each of the foregoing factors either (1) clearly favors the selection of the Target Fund as the accounting and performance survivor, or (2) is not enough to lead to a conclusion that selection of the Fund as the accounting and performance survivor would be appropriate under the circumstances.
