Portfolio

The attached final prospectus for a prior Advisors Disciplined Trust series is hereby used as a preliminary prospectus for the above stated series. The structure, investment objective, security selection process, portfolio composition and risk considerations for the above series, as described in the referenced final prospectus or prospectuses, will be substantially the same as, and will not materially differ from, that of the final prospectus for the above stated series. Information with respect to portfolio securities, risk disclosures, pricing, the number of units, dates and summary information regarding the characteristics of securities to be deposited in this series is not now available and will be different since each unit investment trust has a unique portfolio and the portfolio for the above stated series may be different than the portfolios for the referenced series. Accordingly, the information contained herein with regard to the previous series should be considered as being included for informational purposes only.

A registration statement relating to the units of this series has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. Information contained herein is subject to completion or amendment. Such units may not be sold nor may an offer to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This prospectus shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the units in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

(Incorporated herein by reference is the final prospectus and information supplement from [Advisors Disciplined Trust 2278](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2040334/000199937125003981/adt2278-487.htm) (Registration No. 333-284733) as filed on April 8, 2025 which shall be used as a preliminary prospectus and information supplement for the current series of the trust.)

**Undertakings**

1. Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") such supplementary and
periodic information, documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or regulation of the Commission heretofore or hereafter
duly adopted pursuant to authority conferred in that section.

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