**Investment Objective**

The Fund's primary investment objective is to seek current income. The Fund's secondary investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund ("Shares"). **You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and the Expense Example below.**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Annual Fund Operating Expenses**<sup>(1)</sup> (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) |  |
| Management Fees | 0.90% |
| Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees | 0.00% |
| Other Expenses (includes interest expense) | 0.01% |
| Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses<sup>(2)</sup> | 0.12% |
| **Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses** | 1.03% |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> The Fund's investment adviser, Tidal Investments LLC ("Tidal" or the "Adviser"), will pay, or require a sub-adviser to pay, all of the Fund's expenses, except for the following: advisory and sub-advisory fees, interest charges on any borrowings made for investment purposes, dividends and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, distribution fees and expenses paid by the Fund under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), litigation expenses, and other non-routine or extraordinary expenses.

<sup>(2)</sup> Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses ("AFFE") are the indirect costs of investing in other investment companies. Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not correlate to the expense ratios in the Fund's Financial Highlights because the Financial Highlights include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund and exclude AFFE.

**Expense Example**

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem or hold all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Example does not take into account brokerage commissions that you may pay on your purchases and sales of Shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** | **5 Years** | **10 Years** |
| $105 | $328 | $569 | $1259 |

---

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in total annual fund operating expenses or in the expense example above, affect the Fund's performance. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 85% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund ("ETF") that primarily seeks to generate current income. The Fund's strategy includes two components: (i) holding shares of unaffiliated passively managed ETFs that seek to provide exposure to a range of global equity securities ("Index ETFs") and (ii) selling daily credit call spreads on equity securities or equity indices ("Call Spreads"). . The Fund may invest in individual securities (as described below) and may also hold U.S. Treasury securities. The Fund's daily credit call spread strategy consists of selling a call option and simultaneously buying another call option at a higher strike price to generate options premiums.

The Fund's investment approach is designed to generate options premiums by selling Call Spreads, which will be the primary driver of the Fund's yield.

● *Global Equity Component*: The Fund will typically invest in broad-based, passively managed Index ETFs that seek to track the performance of particular equity market indices. The indices may consist of U.S. market indices, indices concentrating on one or more developed and emerging markets outside of the U.S., or global indices (individually, an "Index," and collectively, the "Indices"). The Fund may also invest in individual equity securities, including for the purpose of creating a representative sampling of individual securities that comprise a particular Index ETF, rather than investing directly in the Index ETF.

● *Call Spreads Component:* The Fund's Call Spreads will generally be based on U.S.-listed equity securities (including American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs")) and/or U.S. Indices due to the improved liquidity and pricing of these reference assets as compared to equity securities of non-U.S. equity securities and/or non-U.S. Indices.

● *Put Spreads Component:* The Fund's Put Spreads (i.e., selling daily credit put spreads on equity securities or indices) will generally be based on U.S.-listed equity securities (including ADRs) and/or U.S. Indices due to the improved liquidity and pricing of these reference assets as compared to equity securities of non-U.S. equity securities and/or non-U.S. Indices.

**While the Fund seeks to provide current income pursuant to its investment objective, a portion (sometimes significant) of the Fund's distributions may be classified as return of capital ("ROC") for financial or tax reporting purposes. Generally speaking, ROC refers to the portion of a distribution from an investment that represents a return of the original investment (principal) rather than income or profit. Accordingly, such distributions do not necessarily reflect the Fund's income or yield. See the prospectus section titled "Additional Information About the Funds" for more information about option premiums and ROC.**

***Global Equity Component***

The Fund's Index ETF holdings (and representative samplings of individual securities) are designed to generally permit the Fund to participate in upside appreciation in global equity markets. However, this investment strategy also exposes the Fund to potential losses during downward movements in global equity markets.

Generally, the Fund will hold four to six Index ETFs (or representative samplings of four to six Index ETFs), approximately equally weighted. At least two of the Fund's Index ETF holdings (or sets of representative samplings) will predominantly track the performance of foreign securities. If determined to be more cost-effective, rather than invest in one or more particular Index ETFs, the Fund may instead invest in a representative sampling of an Index ETF's holdings (e.g., the top 10 to 15 individual companies then held by the relevant Index ETF).

If there are market or economic factors impacting any of one or more Index ETFs, the Adviser and/or the Fund's sub-adviser, Nicholas Wealth, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser" or "Nicholas Wealth"), may decide to increase or decrease the Fund's allocation to the impacted Index ETFs (or individual securities holdings when applicable). For example, if a particular global market shows strong momentum, the Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser may increase the allocation to that market. If interest rates were spiking, the allocation to another Index ETF might be reduced if it is more sensitive to rate changes. In the case of a geopolitical event, exposure to a certain Index ETF (or representative sampling) may be reduced if it is more sensitive to external factors.

The Fund may also invest in the equity securities of individual companies. The Sub-Adviser selects these investments based on its outlook of the broader economic and market environments and how it expects those conditions will impact earnings and revenue growth for a particular company, sector, or region. The Sub-Adviser considers a broad global investment universe, including domestic U.S. and non-U.S. equity securities, including common stocks and depositary receipts (including American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs")). Each company is evaluated for valuation, growth, quality and sentiment, including, among other factors, price momentum and trading volume. The Fund may invest across all market capitalizations and may invest in emerging markets companies.

The Fund's overall portfolio allocation will include an allocation to one or more Index ETFs and/or individual securities holdings that, in the aggregate, hold both U.S. and foreign securities.

Dividends paid by the Fund's Index ETF holdings (and any individual security holdings) will contribute to the Fund's income generation.

***Call Spreads Component***

The Fund will sell Call Spreads on one or more Indices and/or equity securities of individual companies to generate options premiums. The Fund expects to primarily sell Call Spreads on U.S. Indices and/or U.S. listed equity securities (including ADRs).

The Fund will focus on options with expirations of one month or less. This involves selling call options at a strike price at or near the money and buying call options above that strike price.

The Fund's options contracts will:

● Generate options premiums.

● Limit the Fund's indirect participation in gains, if any, of the Indices' or equity securities' value. That is, if a particular Index's or equity security's value increases, the Fund will miss out on the portion of the gain up to the strike price of the purchased call option; however, the Fund will participate in gains beyond the strike price of the purchased call option.

Note that a missed gain on an Index or equity security increasing in value may exceed the value of options premiums received on the spread transaction. The Fund's Call Spreads strategy is most likely to generate net options premiums when the reference Index or equity security is flat or decreasing.

***Put Spreads Component***

The Fund will sell Put Spreads one or more Indices and/or equity securities of individual companies to generate options premiums. The Fund expects to primarily sell Put Spreads on U.S. Indices and/or U.S. listed stocks (including ADRs).

The Fund will focus on options with expirations of one month or less. This involves selling put options at a strike price at or near the money and buying put options below that strike price. The Fund's Put Spreads strategy is most likely to generate net options premiums when the reference Index or equity security is flat or increasing.

***Treasuries***

The Fund will also hold cash or short-term U.S. Treasury securities. These securities serve a dual purpose: providing collateral for the Call Spreads Component and contributing to the Fund's income generation.

**Why invest in the Fund?**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● The Fund seeks to generate weekly distributions, which is not dependent on the value of a particular Index, Indices or individual securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● The Fund seeks to participate in some of the potential gains experienced by increases in the value of (i) the Indices in which it then-currently invests via Index ETFs, and/or (ii) individual securities held by the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Due to the nature of the Fund's Call Spreads Component, the Fund will often not participate in a portion of the gains of an Index or individual security holdings and will instead generate options premiums.

That is, although the Fund will not fully participate in gains in the value of an Index or individual security, the Fund's portfolio is designed to generate options premiums and benefit if its Index ETF holdings (and any individual security holdings) appreciate in value.

**An investment in the Fund is not an investment in any Index, nor is the Fund an investment in a traditional passively managed index fund.**

**The Fund's strategy is subject to all potential losses if an Index or security in which it then-invests loses value, which may not be offset by the options premiums received by the Fund.**

**<u>The Fund's Use of Option Contracts</u>**

The Fund's approach to option contracts entails selling daily Call Spreads. The Fund will earn net options premiums, with an opportunity to gain from the time decay of options.

**<u>Fund Portfolio</u>**

The Fund's portfolio is comprised mainly of:

● Shares of four to six passively-managed equity ETFs (or representative samplings of such ETFs) that track an Index.

● Individual equity securities.

● Sold call option contracts on U.S. Indices and/or individual equity securities, in each case, generally at or near the money.

● Bought call options contracts, on U.S. Indices and/or individual equity securities, in each case, with strike prices above the strike prices of the sold options.

● Limited holdings of U.S. Treasury Securities and Cash (typically, less than 10% of Fund assets) for collateral and income generation.

---

The Fund intends to invest in cash-settled options, which means the holder of the option doesn't receive securities when the option is exercised or expires. Instead, any payments are made in cash.

The Fund is classified as "non-diversified" under the 1940 Act. The Fund's investment strategy may result in high portfolio turnover.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of the value of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in securities and financial instruments that provide exposure to global equity securities and/or that generate income.

**Principal Investment Risks**

The principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") per share, trading price, yield, total return, and/or ability to meet its objective. For more information about the risks of investing in the Fund, see the section in the Fund's Prospectus titled "Additional Information About the Funds—Principal Risks of Investing in the Funds."

An investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective and there is a risk that you could lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is not a complete investment program. It is important that investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them before making an investment in the Fund.

**Index ETF Risks.** The Fund invests in Index ETFs, which subjects the Fund to the following risks in addition to ETF Risks (described below):

*Indirect Investment Risk.* The Fund's exposure to various Indices involves indirect investment risk. None of the Indices are affiliated with the Trust, the Fund, the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, or their respective affiliates, and are not associated with this offering. Investors in the Fund are susceptible to declines in the performance of the Indices in which the Fund invests.

*Index Trading Risk.* The price of an Index may be highly volatile and could continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors. Market volatility, unrelated to company performance, has been observed in response to economic conditions and geopolitical events.

*Index Risks:* The Fund will be subject to varying risks depending on its then-current holdings. Differing risks may apply depending on the relevant Index's composition. For U.S. Indices, economic and market conditions primarily drive performance, while sector-specific downturns can impact an Index. Global Indices are subject to geopolitical risks and unexpected events like pandemics, introducing volatility. Foreign Indices may be influenced by economic factors specific to those countries or regions.

**Equity Market Risk.** The equity securities held in the Fund's portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fund invests. Common stocks, such as those held by the Fund, are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers. Securities in the Fund's portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in the general financial markets, a particular financial market, or other asset classes, due to a number of factors. Factors that could impact the market value of an equity security include a company's business performance, investor perceptions, stock market trends and general economic conditions.

**Derivatives Risk.** Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indices. The Fund's investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other ordinary investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect correlation with underlying investments, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than directly investing in securities. When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be an imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of those amounts initially invested. In addition, the Fund's investments in derivatives are subject to the following risks:

*Options Contracts.* The use of options contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events. For the Fund in particular, the value of the options contracts in which it invests are substantially influenced by the value of the reference asset. The Fund may experience substantial downside from specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument. However, prior to such date, the value of an option generally does not increase or decrease at the same rate at the underlying instrument. There may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in values options contracts and the underlying instrument, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods.

**Counterparty Risk.** The Fund is subject to counterparty risk by virtue of its investments in options contracts. Transactions in some types of derivatives, including options, are required to be centrally cleared ("cleared derivatives"). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund's counterparty is a clearing house rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house ("clearing members") can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. In cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to and receive payments from a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any options contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member's individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with any clearing member as margin for options may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund's clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance of their clients' obligations to the clearing house, there is a risk that the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member's bankruptcy, as the Fund would be limited to recovering only a pro rata share of all available funds segregated on behalf of the clearing member's customers for the relevant account class. The Fund is also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on the Fund's behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member's default. If a clearing member defaults the Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction entered into by the Fund with the clearing member. If the Fund cannot find a clearing member to transact with on the Fund's behalf, the Fund may be unable to effectively implement its investment strategy.

**Correlation Risks.** The Fund's portfolio will be comprised substantially of various Index ETFs (or representative samplings of such Index ETFs), some of which will be tied to Indices different from those used for the Fund's Index Covered Call Spreads. As a result, correlation between the performance of the Index ETFs (and representative samplings) and the targeted Indices for Fund's Covered Call Spread strategies will likely deviate. That is the movements of the Index ETFs (and representative samplings) may not consistently align with those of the Indices targeted for Covered Call Spreads. This means that the Fund may not fully capture the gains from the underlying Indices targeted for Covered Call Spread strategies. For example, assume a specific Index is used for the Fund's Covered Call Spreads, but the Fund does not hold a corresponding Index ETF for that particular Index. In this scenario, if the value of that Index increases, the Fund's potential gains will be limited, and the performance of its other Index ETF holdings may not align with the appreciation of that specific Index.

**Foreign Investment Risk.** The Fund will invest in foreign securities, including non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities traded outside of the United States and U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers traded in the United States. Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Investments in foreign securities, including investments in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), are subject to special risks, including the following:

● *Foreign Securities Risk*. Investments in non-U.S. securities involve risks that may not be present with investments in U.S. securities. For example, investments in non-U.S. securities may be subject to risk of loss due to foreign currency fluctuations or to political or economic instability. There may be less information publicly available about a non-U.S. issuer than a U.S. issuer. Non-U.S. issuers may be subject to different accounting, auditing, financial reporting and investor protection standards than U.S. issuers. Changes to the financial condition or credit rating of foreign issuers may also adversely affect the value of the Fund's securities. Investments in non-U.S. securities may be subject to withholding or other taxes and may be subject to additional trading, settlement, custodial, and operational risks. Because legal systems differ, there is also the possibility that it will be difficult to obtain or enforce legal judgments in some countries. Since foreign exchanges may be open on days when the Fund does not price its Shares, the value of the securities in the Fund's portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or sell the Fund's Shares. Conversely, Shares may trade on days when foreign exchanges are closed. Investment in foreign securities may involve higher costs than investment in U.S. securities, including higher transaction and custody costs as well as the imposition of additional taxes by foreign governments. Each of these factors can make investments in the Fund more volatile and potentially less liquid than other types of investments.

● *Depositary Receipt Risk.* Depositary receipts involve risks similar to those associated with investments in foreign securities and certain additional risks. Depositary receipts listed on U.S. exchanges are issued by banks or trust companies and entitle the holder to all dividends and capital gains that are paid out on the underlying foreign shares ("Underlying Shares"). When the Fund invests in depositary receipts as a substitute for an investment directly in the Underlying Shares, the Fund is exposed to the risk that the depositary receipts may not provide a return that corresponds precisely with that of the Underlying Shares. The Fund may invest in unsponsored depositary receipts. The issuers of unsponsored depositary receipts are not obligated to disclose material information in the United States and, therefore, there may be less information available regarding such issuers and there may not be a correlation between such information and the value of the depositary receipts *.* 

**Emerging Markets Risk**. The Fund may invest in companies in emerging markets. Emerging market countries generally have less established economies, smaller capital markets and greater social, economic, regulatory or political risks. These factors could contribute to increased volatility, liquidity risks and valuation risks. These risks apply to direct holdings in foreign companies and holdings in depository receipts for foreign companies.

**Market Capitalization Risk.**

○ *Large-Capitalization Investing.* The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. Large-capitalization companies may also be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes.

○ *Mid-Capitalization Investing.* The securities of mid-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of large-capitalization companies. The securities of mid-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than large-capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole.

○ *Small-Capitalization Investing*. The securities of small-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of large- or mid-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than large- or mid-capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. There is typically less publicly available information concerning smaller-capitalization companies than for larger, more established companies.

**Distribution Risk.** As part of the Fund's investment objective, the Fund seeks to provide weekly distributions. There is no assurance that the Fund will make a distribution in any given week. If the Fund does make distributions, the amounts of such distributions will likely vary greatly from one distribution to the next. Additionally, the weekly distributions, if any, may consist of returns of capital, which would decrease the Fund's NAV and trading price over time. As a result, an investor may suffer significant losses to their investment.

**NAV Erosion Risk Due to Distributions.** When the Fund makes a distribution, the Fund's NAV will typically drop by the amount of the distribution on the related ex-dividend date. (i.e., the date by which you need to own a dividend-paying stock in order to receive the upcoming dividend payment). The repeated payment of distributions by the Fund, if any, may significantly erode the Fund's NAV and trading price over time. As a result, an investor may suffer significant losses to their investment.

**Economic and 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 the 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, financial system 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. The imposition by the U.S. of tariffs on goods imported from foreign countries and reciprocal tariffs levied on U.S. goods by those countries also may lead to volatility and instability in domestic and foreign markets.

**ETF Risks.**

*Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.* The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are authorized to purchase and redeem Shares directly from the Fund (known as "Authorized Participants" or "APs"). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services; or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.

*Cash Redemption Risk.* The Fund's investment strategy may require it to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds. For example, the Fund may not be able to redeem in-kind certain securities held by the Fund (e.g., derivative instruments). In such a case, the Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was used. By paying out higher annual capital gain distributions, investors may be subjected to increased capital gains taxes. Additionally, there may be brokerage costs or taxable gains or losses that may be imposed on the Fund in connection with a cash redemption that may not have occurred if the Fund had made a redemption in-kind. These costs could decrease the value of the Fund to the extent they are not offset by a transaction fee payable by an AP.

*Costs of Buying or Selling Shares.* Buying or selling Shares involves certain costs, including brokerage commissions, other charges imposed by brokers, and bid-ask spreads. The bid-ask spread represents the difference between the price at which an investor is willing to buy Shares and the price at which an investor is willing to sell Shares. The spread varies over time based on the Shares' trading volume and market liquidity. The spread is generally lower if Shares have more trading volume and market liquidity and higher if Shares have little trading volume and market liquidity. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, frequent trading of Shares may reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.

*Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV.* As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant.

*Trading.* Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, such as NYSE Arca, Inc. (the "Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Shares will develop or be maintained or that the Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund's underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares. Shares trade on the Exchange at a market price that may be below, at or above the Fund's NAV. 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. 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.

**High Portfolio Turnover Risk.** The Fund may actively and frequently trade all or a significant portion of the Fund's holdings. A high portfolio turnover rate increases transaction costs, which may increase the Fund's expenses. Frequent trading may also cause adverse tax consequences for investors in the Fund due to an increase in short-term capital gains.

**Inflation Risk.** Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund's assets and distributions, if any, may decline.

**Liquidity Risk.** Some securities held by the Fund, including options contracts, may be difficult to sell or be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Markets for securities or financial instruments could be disrupted by a number of events, including, but not limited to, an economic crisis, natural disasters, epidemics/pandemics, new legislation or regulatory changes inside or outside the United States. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is forced to sell an illiquid security at an unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. There is no assurance that a security that is deemed liquid when purchased will continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund.

**Management Risk.** The Fund is actively-managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the Adviser's or Sub-Adviser's success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund.

**Market Events Risk.** The Fund's investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities and other financial instruments. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, inflation, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities and other financial markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflicts, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments. Continuing uncertainties regarding interest rates, rising inflation, political events, rising government debt in the U.S. and trade tensions also contribute to market volatility. Conflict, loss of life and disaster connected to ongoing armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia in Europe and between Israel and Hamas in the Middle East could have severe adverse effects on the related region, including significant adverse effects on the regional or global economies and the markets for certain securities. The U.S. and the European Union have imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to and from Russia. These conflicts have contributed to recent market volatility and may continue to do so.

**Newer Fund Risk.** The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with limited operating history. As a result, prospective investors have a limited track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.

**Non-Diversification Risk.** Because the Fund is "non-diversified," it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it was a diversified fund. As a result, a decline in the value of an investment in a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers could cause the Fund's overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Fund held a more diversified portfolio. This may increase the Fund's volatility and cause the performance of a relatively smaller number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Fund's performance.

**Operational Risk.** The Fund is subject to risks arising from various operational factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Fund's service providers, counterparties or other third-parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Fund relies on third-parties for a range of services, including custody. Any delay or failure relating to engaging or maintaining such service providers may affect the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. Although the Fund, Adviser, and Sub-Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures, there is no way to completely protect against such risks.

**Tax Risk.** The Fund intends to elect and to qualify each year to be treated as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). As a RIC, the Fund will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of its net investment income and net capital gain that it distributes to Shareholders, provided that it satisfies certain requirements of the Code. If the Fund does not qualify as a RIC for any taxable year and certain relief provisions are not available, the Fund's taxable income will be subject to tax at the Fund level and to a further tax at the shareholder level when such income is distributed. To comply with the asset diversification test applicable to a RIC, the Fund will attempt to ensure that the value of shares it holds in a single issuer and options it holds on that issuer is never 25% of the total value of Fund assets at the close of any quarter. If the Fund's holdings in a single issuer were to exceed 25% of the Fund's total assets at the end of a tax quarter, the Fund, generally, has a grace period to cure such lack of compliance. If the Fund fails to timely cure, it may no longer be eligible to be treated as a RIC.

**U.S. Government and U.S. Agency Obligations Risk.** The Fund may invest in securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. U.S. Government obligations include securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, such as the U.S. Treasury. Payment of principal and interest on U.S. Government obligations may be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States or may be backed solely by the issuing or guaranteeing agency or instrumentality itself. In the latter case, the investor must look principally to the agency or instrumentality issuing or guaranteeing the obligation for ultimate repayment, which agency or instrumentality may be privately owned. There can be no assurance that the U.S. Government would provide financial support to its agencies or instrumentalities (including government-sponsored enterprises) where it is not obligated to do so.

**Purchase and Sale of Shares**

The Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only in large blocks known as "Creation Units," which only Authorized Participants (APs) (typically, broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. The Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities (the "Deposit Securities") and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash.

Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, such as the Exchange, and individual Shares may only be bought and sold in the secondary market through brokers at market prices, rather than NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).

An investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase Shares (the "bid" price) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for Shares (the "ask" price) when buying or selling Shares in the secondary market. This difference in bid and ask prices is often referred to as the "bid-ask spread."

Information regarding the Fund's NAV, market price, how often Shares traded on the Exchange at a premium or discount, and bid-ask spreads can be found on the Fund's website at https://www.nicholasx.com/giax.

**Tax Information**

Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination), unless an investment is in an individual retirement account ("IRA") or other tax-advantaged account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.

**Financial Intermediary Compensation**

If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser or their affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange-traded products, including the Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training, or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.
