**Risk/Return Summary**

**Investment Objective**

The investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital growth.

**Fees and Expenses**

The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. **You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.**

---

| |
|:---|
| **Shareholder Fees**<br>***(****fees paid directly from your investment)* |
| Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Purchases |
| Deferred Sales Charge (Load) |
| Redemption Fee (as a percentage of the amount redeemed) |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Annual Fund Operating Expenses**<br>***(****expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)* | |
| Management Fees | 1.00% |
| Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees | 0.00%<sup>(1)</sup> |
| Other Expenses | 0.70% |
| Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses | 0.01% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 1.71% |
| Less: Management Fee Reductions | (0.45%)<sup>(2)</sup> |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Management Fee Reductions | 1.26% |

---

(1) The Fund has adopted a plan under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 that authorizes the Fund to pay up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets for certain expenses related to the distribution and servicing of its shares, but only if the Fund's Board of Trustees has specifically authorized the payment of such fees.

(2) Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not correlate to the ratio of expenses to average net assets as reported in the "Financial Highlights" section of the Prospectus, which reflect the operating expenses of the Fund and do not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.

(3) The Adviser has contractually agreed, until at least April 1, 2027, to reduce its management fees and to pay the Fund's operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses to an amount not exceeding 1.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Management fee reductions and operating expenses paid by the Adviser are subject to repayment by the Fund for a period of 3 years after such fees and expenses were incurred, provided that the repayments do not cause Annual Fund Operating Expenses to exceed the foregoing expense limitation. Annual Fund Operating Expenses exclude brokerage costs, taxes, interest, costs to organize the Fund, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses, if any. Prior to April 1, 2027 , the expense limitation agreement may be modified or terminated only with approval of the Board of Trustees.

**Expense Example.** The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. It assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and the Fund's operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the contractual agreement to reduce management fees and pay other Fund expenses for the periods indicated above under "Fees and Expenses"). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **<u>1 Year</u>** | **<u>3 Years</u>** | **<u>5 Years</u>** | **<u>10 Years</u>** |
| $128 | $495 | $886 | $1982 |

---

**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 Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 4% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks of small capitalization ("small-cap") and mid-capitalization ("mid-cap") companies. There is no minimum percentage of assets that must be invested in either small or mid-cap issuers and the Fund may be invested substantially in either small-cap or mid-cap issuers when the Adviser believes such focus is warranted. This investment strategy is a non-fundamental policy of the Fund, and may be changed by the Fund's Board of Trustees at any time. Shareholders of the Fund will be provided with at least 60 days advance written notice of such a change.

The Adviser defines small and mid-cap companies as companies with market capitalizations, at the time of investment, that do not exceed the market capitalization of the median company included in the S&P 500 Index, which was $40.961 billion as of February 28, 2026. The size of the companies included in the S&P 500 Index will change as a result of market conditions and reconstitution of the Index.

In choosing investments, the Adviser looks for equity securities of companies that it regards as having excellent prospects for capital appreciation at a price, relative to the market as a whole, that does not fully reflect the superiority of that particular company. The Adviser measures a company's prospects for capital growth by considering, among other factors, growth over extended periods of time, above-average profitability created through operating efficiency rather than financial leverage, and cash flows that appear to confirm the sustainability of growth. At times the Adviser may emphasize certain industries or sectors.

The Adviser generally follows a "buy and hold" strategy and, once a security has been purchased, the Fund will ordinarily retain it for as long as the Adviser believes the security's prospects for capital growth continue to be favorable and the security is not overvalued in the marketplace. The Adviser may also sell a security if it identifies alternative securities that are more attractive.

**Principal Risks**

As with any mutual fund investment, there is a risk that you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The success of the Fund's investment strategy depends largely upon the Adviser's skill in selecting securities for purchase and sale by the Fund and there is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Because of the types of securities in which the Fund invests and the investment techniques the Adviser uses, the Fund is designed for investors who are investing for the long term. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

**Equity Securities Risk.** The return on and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate in response to stock market movements. Common stocks and other equity securities are subject to market risks, such as a rapid increase or decrease in a security's value or liquidity, and fluctuations in price due to earnings, economic conditions and other factors beyond the control of the Adviser. A company's share price may decline if a company does not perform as expected, if it is not well managed, if there is a decreased demand for its products or services, or during periods of economic uncertainty or stock market turbulence, among other conditions. At times, the stock markets can be volatile and stock prices can change dramatically.

**Small and Mid-Cap Company Risk.** Investing in small and mid-cap companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with larger, more established companies. Historically, smaller and midsize company securities have been more volatile in price than larger company securities, especially over the short term. Small and mid-cap companies frequently have less management depth and experience, narrower market penetrations, less diverse product lines, less competitive strengths and fewer resources than larger companies. Due to these and other factors, stocks of small and mid-cap companies may be more susceptible to market downturns and other events, and their prices may be more volatile than larger capitalization companies. Smaller and midsize companies may be particularly affected by interest rate increases, as they may find it more difficult to borrow money to continue or expand operations, or may have difficulty in repaying loans, particularly those with floating interest rates. In addition, in many instances, the securities of small and mid-cap companies typically are traded only over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange, and the frequency and volume of their trading is substantially less than is typical of larger companies. Therefore, the securities of small and mid-cap companies may be subject to greater price fluctuations. Small and mid-cap companies also may not be widely followed by investors, which can lower the demand for their stock, and they may also suffer from a lack of publicly available information.

**Investment Style and Management Risk.** The Adviser's method of security selection may not be successful and the Fund may underperform relative to other mutual funds that employ similar investment strategies. The Fund's growth style may go out of favor with investors, negatively impacting performance. In addition, the Adviser may select investments that fail to appreciate as anticipated.

**Economic and Market Events Risk.** The value of the Fund's investments may decline and its share value may be reduced due to changes in general economic and market conditions. The value of a security may change in response to developments affecting entire economies, markets or industries, including changes in interest rates, political and legal developments, and general market volatility. Events in the U.S. and global financial markets, including actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve and foreign central banks to stimulate or stabilize economic growth, may at times result in unusually high market volatility, which could negatively impact performance. Reduced liquidity in credit and fixed-income markets could adversely affect issuers worldwide. Banks and financial services companies could suffer losses if interest rates rise or economic conditions deteriorate. There can be no guarantee that economic conditions will be favorable to the Fund, or that the Adviser's response to such market conditions will be effective. Local, regional or global events such as the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues, recessions, natural disasters, political instability, armed conflict, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments. In addition, markets and market participants are increasingly reliant upon information data systems. Data imprecision, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies, unauthorized use or access and similar circumstances may have an adverse impact upon a single issuer, a group of issuers or the market at large.

**Sector Risk.** Investments in particular industries or sectors may be more volatile than the overall stock market. Therefore, if the Fund emphasizes one or more industries or economic sectors, it may be more susceptible to financial, market, or economic events affecting the particular issuers and industries participating in such sectors than funds that do not emphasize particular industries or sectors.

***Consumer discretionary*** – companies engaged in the consumer discretionary sector, including companies in the automobiles and components, consumer durables and apparel, consumer services, and consumer discretionary distribution and retail industry groups, are affected by fluctuations in supply and demand and changes in consumer preferences, social trends and marketing campaigns. Changes in consumer spending as a result of world events, political and economic conditions, commodity price volatility, changes in exchange rates, imposition of import controls, increased competition, depletion of resources and labor relations also may adversely affect companies in the consumer discretionary sector.

***Health care*** – factors such as extensive government regulation, restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products, services and facilities, pricing pressure, an increased emphasis on outpatient services, limited number of products, industry innovation, costs associated with obtaining and protecting patents, product liability and other claims, changes in technologies and other market developments can affect companies in the health care sector. Companies in the health care sector include providers of health care and health care services, companies that manufacture and distribute health care equipment and supplies, health care technology companies, companies involved in the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products, and life sciences tools and services companies.

***Industrials Sector Risk.*** Changes in government regulation, world events and economic conditions may adversely affect companies in the industrials sector. In addition, these companies are at risk for environmental and product liability damage claims. Also, commodity price volatility, changes in exchange rates, imposition of import controls, increased competition, depletion of resources, technological developments and labor relations could adversely affect the companies in this sector.

***Information Technology Sector Risk.*** Information technology sector risk is the risk that securities of technology companies may be subject to greater price volatility than securities of companies in other sectors. These securities may fall in and out of favor with investors rapidly, which may cause sudden selling and dramatically lower market prices. Technology securities also may be affected adversely by changes in technology, consumer and business purchasing patterns, government regulation and/or obsolete products or services.

**Performance Summary**

The bar chart and performance table that follow provide some indication of the risks and variability of investing in the Fund by showing the changes in the Fund's performance for each full calendar year over the life of the Fund, and by showing how the Fund's average annual total returns compare to the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an additional index with characteristics relevant to the Fund. All returns include the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. All performance information shown below reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Adviser; had advisory fees not been waived and/or Fund expenses not reimbursed, returns would be less than those shown. Updated performance information, current through the most recent month end, is available by calling 877-370-7277.

**General Information**

You may purchase or redeem (sell) shares of the Fund on any day that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for business. Transactions may be initiated by written request, by wire transfer or through your financial intermediary.

**Tax Information**

The Fund intends to make distributions that will generally be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an IRA, or you are a tax-exempt investor.

**Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries**

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

**Additional Information About The Investment Objective, Non-Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks of the Fund**

**Investment Objective.** The investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital growth. The Board of Trustees has reserved the right to change the Fund's investment objective without shareholder approval.

**Foreign Securities.** The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in the securities of foreign issuers that trade on U.S. stock exchanges or in the form of American Depositary Shares ("ADSs"). ADSs are securities that are generally issued by a U.S. bank to U.S. buyers as a substitute for direct ownership of a foreign security and are denominated in U.S. dollars and traded on U.S. exchanges. ADSs are subject to risks similar to those associated with direct investment in foreign securities, which involve risks that may be different from those of U.S. securities. Foreign securities may not be subject to uniform audit, financial reporting or disclosure standards, practices or requirements comparable to those found in the United States. Foreign securities are also subject to the risk of adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitations on the removal of funds or other assets, political or social instability, and nationalization of companies or industries. In addition, the dividends payable on certain of the Fund's foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes.

**Exchange Traded Funds ("ETFs") and Other Investment Companies.** The Fund may invest at times in ETFs and other investment companies. ETFs typically hold a portfolio of securities designed to track the performance of a particular index. ETFs are subject to the risk that the market price of an ETF's shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value ("NAV"), or that an active trading market for an ETF's shares may not be developed or maintained. ETFs are also subject to the risks of the underlying securities or sectors that the ETF is designed to track. To the extent that the Fund invests in ETFs and other investment companies, there will be some duplication of expenses because the Fund would bear its pro-rata portion of such ETF's or other investment company's advisory fees and operational expenses. Since many ETFs are a type of investment company, the Fund's purchases of shares of such ETFs are subject to the Fund's investment restrictions regarding investments in other investment companies.

**Temporary Defensive Positions.** The Fund may from time to time take temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with its principal investment strategies to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. If the Adviser believes a temporary defensive position is warranted in view of market conditions, the Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in cash, high-quality short-term government or corporate obligations, money market instruments or shares of money market mutual funds. Taking a temporary defensive position may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Fund may also hold these investments for liquidity purposes.

**Economic and Market Events Risk.** A general decline in economic conditions, in the United States or abroad, or the impacts of government policies or broader financial and market conditions may adversely affect securities valuations of companies in which the Fund has invested, even if the businesses of those companies are not adversely affected. The Adviser may be unable to accurately predict an economic downturn or similar event, and accordingly, may be unable to promptly enter a defensive position designed to lessen the impact of the economic downturn. Even if the Adviser is able to promptly enter a defensive position, there can be no guarantee that such a position will be effective.

Turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in the markets negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect the Fund. These risks will be magnified if certain social, political, economic and other conditions and events (such as natural disasters, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, conflicts and social unrest) adversely interrupt the global economy. In addition, any spread of an infectious illness, public health threat or similar issue could reduce consumer demand or economic output, result in market closures, travel restrictions or quarantines, and generally have a significant impact on the economies of the affected country and other countries with which it does business, which in turn could adversely affect the Fund's investments in that country and other affected countries.

Recently, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised its policy rate, the overnight Federal Funds Rate, after a period of historically low rates. Although the effect that an increase in the Federal Funds Rate or the further elimination or reduction of other monetary policies may have on financial markets is uncertain, those policy changes may lead to higher interest rates, declines in the prices of financial assets, adverse effects on currency exchange rates, changes in inflation rates, increased market volatility, higher levels of redemptions from the Fund, or other consequences which may negatively affect global financial markets and the value of the Fund's investments.

Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers in a different country or region. Both domestic and foreign equity markets have experienced increased volatility and turmoil, with issuers that have exposure to the real estate, mortgage, and credit markets particularly affected, and it is uncertain when these conditions will recur. Banks and financial services companies could suffer losses if interest rates were to rise further or economic conditions deteriorate.

**Fund Management**

**Investment Adviser.** L. Roy Papp & Associates, LLP (the "Adviser"), 2201 E. Camelback Road, Suite 227B, Phoenix, Arizona 85016, serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. The Adviser provides the Fund with a continuous program of investing the Fund's assets and determining the composition of the Fund's portfolio. In addition to serving as the investment adviser to the Fund, the Adviser provides investment advisory services to individuals, trusts, retirement plans, endowments, and foundations.

For its services, the Fund pays the Adviser an investment advisory fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets. During the most recent fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund paid investment advisory fees (after fee reductions) equal to 0.55% of its average daily net assets. The Adviser has agreed until at least April 1, 2027 to reduce its investment advisory fees and to pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to limit annual ordinary operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs, taxes, interest, costs to organize the Fund, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses, if any) to 1.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Any such fee reductions by the Adviser, or payments by the Adviser of expenses which are the Fund's obligation, are subject to repayment by the Fund, provided that the repayment does not cause the Fund's ordinary operating expenses to exceed the expense limit, and provided further that the fees and expenses which are the subject of the repayment were incurred within 3 years of the repayment.

A discussion of the factors considered by the Board of Trustees in approving the Fund's investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, including the Board's conclusions with respect thereto, was included in the Fund's report filed on Form N-CSR for the period ended May 31, 2025.

**Portfolio Managers.** Rosellen C. Papp, CFA, is responsible for managing the Fund's portfolio and has managed the Fund since its inception. Ms. Papp, Partner of the Adviser, has been the Research Director of the Adviser and its predecessor since 1981. Brian M. Riordan, CFA, became portfolio manager of the Fund in 2018. Mr. Riordan was assistant portfolio manager of the Fund from 2012 - 2017 and has been a Partner and Research Analyst of the Adviser since 2004. Greg S. Smith, CFA, became assistant portfolio manager of the Fund in 2018 and has been a Partner and Research Analyst of the Adviser since 2005.

The Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") provides additional information about the portfolio managers, including information about their compensation, other accounts they manage and their ownership of shares of the Fund.

**Prior Performance of the Adviser**

The Adviser previously served as the investment sub-adviser of the Pioneer Small and Mid-Cap Growth Fund and as the investment adviser of the Pioneer Small and Mid-Cap Growth Fund's predecessor, the Papp Small & Mid-Cap Growth Fund, Inc. (the "Predecessor Fund"), from the inception of the Predecessor Fund until September 18, 2009, when the Pioneer Small and Mid-Cap Growth Fund ceased to engage in business. During that time, Rosellen C. Papp and L. Roy Papp were jointly responsible for the day-to-day management of the Pioneer Small and Mid-Cap Growth Fund and the Predecessor Fund and had full discretionary authority over the selection of their investments, and Ms. Papp has the same level of discretion over the selection of investments for the Fund. The Pioneer Small and Mid-Cap Growth Fund and the Predecessor Fund had investment objectives, policies and principal strategies substantially similar to the Fund.

The average annual total returns of the Class A shares of the Pioneer Small and Mid-Cap Growth Fund, compared with the performance of the Russell Midcap Growth Index, is set forth below. The Pioneer Small and Mid-Cap Growth Fund acquired the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund on February 20, 2004 (the "Reorganization"). As a result of the Reorganization, the Pioneer Small and Mid-Cap Growth Fund was the accounting successor of the Predecessor Fund. The performance of Class A shares of the Pioneer Small and Mid-Cap Growth Fund includes the NAV performance of the Predecessor Fund's single class of shares prior to the Reorganization, which has been restated to reflect differences in applicable sales charges and Rule 12b-1 fees (but not other differences in expenses). This adjustment had the effect of reducing the previously reported performance of the Predecessor Fund. Historical performance is not indicative of future performance. The Pioneer Small and Mid-Cap Growth Fund was a separate fund and its historical performance is not indicative of the actual or potential performance of the Fund. Share prices and investment returns will fluctuate reflecting market conditions, as well as changes in company-specific fundamentals of portfolio securities. This performance does not include the performance of other accounts managed by Ms. Papp and Mr. L. Roy Papp, but the exclusion of these accounts does not cause the performance to be misleading.

The SAI has more detailed information about the Adviser and other service providers to the Fund.

**How the Fund Values Its Shares**

The NAV of the Fund's shares is calculated as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on each day that the NYSE is open for business. The Fund is open for business on each day that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for trading. The Fund is closed on weekends and on any day the NYSE is closed for trading, including as a result of a holiday or an unscheduled market closure. The Fund may also close early on days when the NYSE closes early. Any order received when the Fund is closed will be treated as received on, and processed on, the next day the NYSE is open for trading. To calculate NAV, the Fund's assets are valued and totaled, liabilities are subtracted, and the balance is divided by the number of shares then outstanding. The Fund generally values its portfolio securities at their current market values determined on the basis of readily available market quotations. However, if market quotations are not readily available or are considered to be unreliable due to market or other events, portfolio securities will be valued at their fair values, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its NAV are based on the consideration by the Fund of a number of subjective factors and therefore may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

Securities that do not have a readily available current market value are valued in good faith by the Adviser as "valuation designee" under the oversight of the Board. The Adviser has adopted policies and procedures for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser. On a quarterly basis, the Adviser's fair valuation determinations will be reviewed by the Board. The Adviser's policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Fund's NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined pursuant to the Adviser's procedures may not accurately reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing.

Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of the NYSE, that materially affect the values of the Fund's securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, an exchange or market on which a security trades does not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Adviser as valuation designee will monitor for significant events that may materially affect the values of the Fund's securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.

Your order to purchase or redeem Fund shares is priced at the NAV next calculated after your order is received in proper form by the Fund. See "How to Buy Shares" and "How to Redeem Shares" for a description of the "proper form" for purchase and redemption orders, respectively.

**How to Buy Shares**

The Fund is a no-load fund. This means that shares may be purchased without imposition of a sales charge. Shares of the Fund are available for purchase from the Fund every day the NYSE is open for business, at the NAV next calculated after receipt of a purchase order in proper form. In addition, orders will be deemed to have been received by the Fund when such authorized broker, or broker-authorized designee, accepts the purchase order. The Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase request. Investors who purchase and redeem shares through a broker or other financial intermediary may be charged a fee by such broker or intermediary. The Fund mails you confirmations of all purchases or redemptions of Fund shares. Certificates representing shares are not issued.

**Purchase Requests in Good Order**

A purchase request will be considered to be in "good order" only if it includes all of the following:

● A completed and signed account application (for new accounts).

● The exact dollar amount of the investment.

● For existing accounts, the account number and the name(s) exactly as registered on the account.

● Payment in U.S. dollars, payable to the Fund.

● Any documentation reasonably required by the Fund or its transfer agent to verify the identity or authority of the purchaser, if applicable.

Requests that are incomplete, unclear, or submitted without the required documentation may be delayed or rejected. The Fund and its transfer agent are not responsible for delays or losses due to requests that are not received in good order.

**Minimum Initial Investment**

The minimum initial investment in the Fund is $1,000. This minimum investment requirement may be waived or reduced for any reason at the discretion of the Fund.

**Opening an Account**

An account may be opened by mail or bank wire if it is submitted in proper form, as follows:

**By Mail.** To open a new account by mail:

● Complete and sign the account application.

● Enclose a check payable to the Fund.

● Mail the application and the check to the Transfer Agent at the following address:

**Payment for Shares and Good Funds Policy.** The Fund accepts payment for shares by check, Automated Clearing House ("ACH") transfer, or wire transfer. All purchase orders are subject to acceptance by the Fund and will be executed at the next net asset value ("NAV") calculated after the order is received in good order.

Payments made by check or ACH may be subject to a collection period to ensure that funds have cleared and are received in "good funds." The Fund and its Transfer Agent reserve the right to delay the disbursement of redemption or exchange proceeds from shares purchased by check or ACH for up to **10 business days** (or longer, if necessary) to allow the payment to clear.

During this period, the proceeds of newly purchased shares are not available for redemption or exchange. This policy does not apply to purchases made by wire transfer, which are generally considered good funds upon receipt.

If a check or ACH payment does not clear, the purchase order will be cancelled, and the investor will be responsible for any resulting loss incurred by the Fund or its Transfer Agent, as well as any applicable fees.

**Returned Check/ NSF Fee.** If your check or electronic payment does not clear, you will be responsible for any loss or expense incurred by the Fund. A $25 fee will be charged to defray bank charges and processing costs associated with the returned payment. The Fund reserves the right to redeem shares from your account to cover any unpaid amounts.

By sending your check to the Fund, please be aware that you are authorizing the Fund to make a one-time electronic debit from your account at the financial institution indicated on your check. Your bank account will be debited as early as the same day the Fund receives your payment in the amount of your check; no additional amount will be added to the total. The transaction will appear on your bank statement. Your original check will be destroyed once processed, and you will not receive your canceled check back. If the Fund cannot post the transaction electronically, you authorize the Fund to present an image copy of your check for payment.

**Automated Clearing House (ACH) Purchases.** Shareholders may purchase shares of the Fund through the Automated Clearing House ("ACH") network from a U.S. domestic bank or other U.S. domestic financial institution. All payments must be made in U.S. dollars.

**Initial and Subsequent Purchases by ACH.** ACH may be used for both initial and subsequent investments. To establish ACH instructions, shareholders must provide the required banking information on the Account Application (or other documentation acceptable to the Fund or its transfer agent).

**Bank Account Requirements.** The designated bank account must be maintained at a U.S. domestic financial institution. The name(s) and registration on the bank account must exactly match the name(s) and registration on the Fund account. The bank account must be owned and controlled by the shareholder(s). ACH transfers initiated from a third-party bank account will not be accepted.

**Right to Reject / Good Order.** The Fund and its transfer agent reserve the right to reject any ACH purchase request that is not received in "good order." A request is in "good order" when all required information, authorizations, and documentation have been received in proper form and are acceptable to the Fund or its transfer agent.

**Purchase by Wire.** If you wish to invest in the Fund by wire, please call the Fund at 1-877-370-7277 to obtain detailed wiring instructions and to notify the Fund that a wire transfer will be sent. The Fund will generally credit investments made by wire on the business day the funds are received by the Fund's designated bank, provided they are received prior to the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (typically **4:00 p.m. Eastern Time**). Your bank may charge a fee for same-day wire transfers. The Fund is not responsible for any delays in the receipt of wired funds due to the actions of the transmitting or receiving bank, or the Federal Reserve wire system.

The Fund requires advance notification of all wire purchases in order to ensure that the wire is received in proper form and that your account is subsequently credited in a timely fashion for a given trade date. Failure to notify the Transfer Agent prior to the transmittal of the bank wire may result in a delay in purchasing shares of the Fund. An order is considered received when the Fund receives payment by wire in proper form as discussed above. Your financial institution may charge a fee for wiring funds.

**Through Your Broker or Financial Institution.** Shares of the Fund may be purchased through certain brokerage firms and financial institutions that are authorized to accept orders on behalf of the Fund and such organizations may be authorized to designate intermediaries to accept orders on behalf of the Fund. Orders will be priced at the NAV next determined after your order is received by such organization, or its authorized designee, in proper form. Orders will be deemed to have been received by the Fund when such organization, or its authorized designee, accepts the purchase order. These organizations may charge you transaction fees on purchases of Fund shares and may impose other charges or restrictions or account options that differ from those applicable to shareholders who purchase shares directly through the Fund. These organizations may be the shareholders of record of your shares. The Fund is not responsible for ensuring that these organizations or their authorized designees carry out their obligations to their customers. Shareholders investing in this manner should look to the organization through which they invest for specific instructions on how to purchase and redeem shares.

**Subsequent Investments**

Once an account is open, additional purchases of Fund shares may be made at any time with no minimum, or in such amounts as your broker or financial institution permits. Additional purchases must be submitted in proper form as described below. Additional purchases may be made:

● By sending a check, made payable to the Fund:

**Regular/ Express Mail**

Papp Small & Mid-Cap Growth Fund

c/o Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC

P.O. Box 46707

Cincinnati, Ohio 45246-0707

-or-

**Overnight Mail**

Papp Small & Mid-Cap Growth Fund

c/o Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC

225 Pictoria Dr. Suite 450

Cincinnati, OH 45246

Be sure to note your account number on the memo line of your check. The shareholder will be responsible for any fees incurred or losses suffered by the Fund as a result of any check returned for insufficient funds. The Fund does not accept third party checks, cash, drafts, money orders, cashier's checks, traveler's checks, credit card checks, "starter" checks or post-dated checks.

● By wire transfer from your financial institution as described under "Opening an Account – By Wire Transfer." Shareholders should call the Transfer Agent at 1-877-370-7277 before wiring funds.

● Through your brokerage firm or other financial institution.

● By telephone using Automated Clearing House (ACH).

**Automatic Investment Plan ("AIP")**

Shareholders may purchase shares through an Automatic Investment Plan ("AIP"), which provides for regular, periodic purchases in accordance with the shareholder's instructions and the transfer agent's procedures. With the shareholder's authorization, the transfer agent will process AIP purchases in the amount and frequency selected by the shareholder. There is no minimum investment amount required to participate in the AIP. Shareholders may change or terminate AIP instructions at any time by contacting the transfer agent. Only bank accounts maintained at U.S. financial institutions may be used. The Fund and/or the transfer agent may modify, suspend, or terminate the AIP at any time.

**Purchases in Kind**

The Fund may accept securities in lieu of cash in payment for the purchase of shares of the Fund. The acceptance of such securities is at the sole discretion of the Adviser based upon the suitability of the securities as an investment for the Fund, the marketability of such securities, and other factors that the Adviser may deem appropriate. If accepted, the securities will be valued using the same criteria and methods utilized for valuing securities to compute the Fund's NAV.

**Customer Identification and Verification**

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens a new account, and to determine whether such person's name appears on government lists of known or suspected terrorists and terrorist organizations. As a result, the Fund must obtain the following information for each person who opens a new account:

● Name;

● Date of birth (for individuals);

● Residential or business street address (although post office boxes are still permitted for mailing); and

● Social security number, taxpayer identification number, or other identifying number.

You may also be asked for a copy of your driver's license, passport, or other identifying document in order to verify your identity. In addition, it may be necessary to verify your identity by cross-referencing your identification information with a consumer report or other electronic database. Additional information may be required to open accounts for corporations and other entities, such as trusts. Federal law prohibits the Fund and other financial institutions from opening a new account unless they receive the minimum identifying information listed above.

After an account is opened, the Fund may restrict your ability to purchase additional shares until your identity is verified. The Fund also may close your account or take other appropriate action if it is unable to verify your identity within a reasonable time. If your account is closed for this reason, your shares will be redeemed at the NAV next calculated after the account is closed.

**Frequent Trading Policies**

Frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares by a shareholder may harm other Fund shareholders by interfering with the efficient management of the Fund's portfolio, increasing brokerage and administrative costs, and potentially diluting the value of the Fund's shares. The Fund does not accommodate frequent purchases or redemption of Fund shares.

The Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures in an effort to detect and prevent market timing in the Fund. The Fund, through its service providers, monitors shareholder trading activity to ensure that trading activity complies with the Fund's policies. The Fund prepares reports illustrating purchase and redemption activity in order to detect market timing activity. When monitoring shareholder purchases and redemptions, the Fund does not apply a quantitative definition to frequent trading. Instead, the Fund uses a subjective approach that permits it to reject any purchase orders that it believes may be indicative of market timing or disruptive trading. The right to reject a purchase order applies to any purchase order, including a purchase order placed by financial intermediaries. The Fund may also modify any terms or conditions of purchase of Fund shares or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by the Prospectus. The Fund's policies and procedures to prevent market timing are applied uniformly to all shareholders. These actions, in the Board's opinion, should help reduce the risk of abusive trading in the Fund.

When financial intermediaries establish omnibus accounts in the Fund for their clients, the Fund reviews trading activity at the omnibus account level and looks for activity that may indicate potential frequent trading or market timing. If the Fund detects suspicious trading activity, the Fund will seek the assistance of the intermediary to investigate that trading activity and take appropriate action, including prohibiting additional purchases of Fund shares by the intermediary and/or its client. Each intermediary that offers the Fund's shares through an omnibus account has entered into an information sharing agreement with the Fund designed to assist the Fund in stopping future disruptive trading. Intermediaries may apply frequent trading policies that differ from those described in this Prospectus. If you invest in the Fund through an intermediary, please read that firm's program materials carefully to learn of any rules or fees that may apply.

Although the Fund has taken steps to discourage frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares, it cannot guarantee that such trading will not occur.

**How to Redeem Shares**

Shares of the Fund may be redeemed on any day on which the Fund computes its NAV. Shares are redeemed at the NAV next determined after the Transfer Agent receives your redemption request in proper form as described below. Redemption requests may be made by mail or by telephone.

**By Mail.** You may redeem shares by mailing a written request to the Papp Small & Mid-Cap Growth Fund:

**Regular/ Express Mail**

Papp Small & Mid-Cap Growth Fund

c/o Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC

P.O. Box 46707

Cincinnati, Ohio 45246-0707

-or-

**Overnight Mail**

Papp Small & Mid-Cap Growth Fund

c/o Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC

225 Pictoria Dr. Suite 450

Cincinnati, OH 45246

Written requests must state the shareholder's name, the name of the Fund, the account number and the shares or dollar amount to be redeemed, and be signed exactly as the shares are registered.

**Redemption Requests in Good Order.** A redemption request will be considered to be in "good order" only if it includes all of the following:

● The name of the Fund and the account number

● The exact dollar amount or number of shares to be redeemed

● The name(s) of the registered account owner(s), exactly as they appear on the account

● Signature(s) of all registered owner(s)

● Any required signature guarantee or medallion signature guarantee, if applicable

● Any documentation reasonably required by the Fund or its transfer agent to verify the identity or authority of the person(s) requesting the redemption

Redemption requests that are incomplete, unclear, unsigned, or submitted without the required documentation or signature guarantees may be delayed or rejected. The Fund and its transfer agent are not responsible for processing delays or losses resulting from requests not received in good order.

**Medallion Signature Guarantee Requirements.** To protect shareholders and the Fund from potential fraud, the Fund and/or its transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent") may require a signature guarantee, including a Medallion Signature Guarantee ("MSG"), in certain circumstances. An MSG is a stamped certification from an eligible guarantor institution that verifies the authenticity of a signature and the authority and capacity of the person signing.

The Fund and/or the Transfer Agent may require an MSG in situations including, but not limited to, the following:

● The redemption amount exceeds $50,000 (or such other threshold as may be established by the Fund and/or the Transfer Agent);

● Proceeds are requested to be mailed to an address or sent to a bank account that was changed or added within the past 30 calendar days;

● Proceeds are requested to be made payable to a person or entity other than the registered account owner;

● Proceeds are requested to be sent to a financial institution account that is not in the shareholder's name;

● The account registration or ownership is being changed;

● Instructions are submitted by mail with alternate delivery instructions, special handling, or other non-standard processing; or

● Any other circumstance in which the Fund or the Transfer Agent reasonably determines that additional documentation or verification is appropriate.

An MSG must be obtained from an eligible guarantor institution that participates in a recognized Medallion Signature Guarantee program (STAMP, SEMP, or MSP). These institutions typically include banks, savings associations, credit unions, and broker-dealers. A notary seal is not an acceptable substitute for an MSG.

Shareholders should contact the Transfer Agent in advance if they are unsure whether an MSG will be required. The Fund and/or the Transfer Agent reserves the right, in its discretion, to waive or require an MSG and to reject any signature guarantee that it deems unacceptable.

Redemption requests by corporate and fiduciary shareholders must be accompanied by appropriate documentation establishing the authority of the person seeking to act on behalf of the account. Forms of resolutions and other documentation to assist in compliance with the Transfer Agent's procedures may be obtained by calling the Transfer Agent.

**Telephone Transactions.** You may purchase, exchange, or redeem Fund shares by calling **1-877-370-7277**. Telephone transaction privileges are automatically available for new accounts unless you decline them on your account application or later revoke them by written instruction to the Fund or its Transfer Agent.

Telephone instructions, if received in good order before the applicable cut-off time, will be processed at the Fund's next determined net asset value ("NAV"). Redemption proceeds will be sent promptly to your address of record by check or to your bank account of record by ACH or wire transfer. Telephone redemptions are generally limited to **$50,000** per account. Requests for amounts above this limit must be submitted in writing and must include a Medallion Signature Guarantee.

During periods of heavy market activity or other unusual conditions, you may experience difficulty reaching the Fund or its Transfer Agent. Please allow additional time to place your transaction. The Fund or its Transfer Agent will not be held liable for any loss if you are unable to reach them to confirm a telephone transaction.

The Fund and its Transfer Agent use reasonable procedures to verify the authenticity of telephone instructions. These may include requiring an account number, a personal identification number (PIN) if applicable, recording of calls, and/or written confirmations. If these procedures are followed, neither the Fund nor its Transfer Agent will be responsible for any loss, liability, cost, or expense arising from unauthorized of fraudulent telephone instructions.

If you own an IRA, you will be asked to make an election regarding federal income tax withholding at the time of a redemption.

For your protection, telephone redemptions may be restricted for **30 days** following a change of address or banking information. The Fund may also require a signature guarantee or other documentation for certain transactions.

The Fund reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the telephone transaction privilege at any time, with or without notice.

**Wire Fee.** A fee of **$15** will be charged for each wire transfer of redemption proceeds. This fee will be deducted directly from your account and is subject to change without notice. Your bank or any intermediary institution may also charge a separate fee for receiving the wire. The Fund and its transfer agent are not responsible for any delays or additional fees imposed by the receiving bank or any intermediary institution.

**Through Your Broker or Financial Institution.** You may also redeem your shares through a brokerage firm or financial institution that has been authorized to accept orders on behalf of the Fund at the NAV next determined after your order is received by such organization in proper form. NAV is normally determined at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. Your brokerage firm or financial institution may require a redemption request to be received at an earlier time during the day in order for your redemption to be effective as of the day the order is received. These organizations may be authorized to designate other intermediaries to act in this capacity. Orders will be deemed to have been received by the Fund when such organization, or its authorized designee, receives the redemption order. Such an organization may charge you transaction fees on redemptions of Fund shares and may impose other charges or restrictions or account options that differ from those applicable to shareholders who redeem shares directly through the Transfer Agent.

**Redemption Proceeds**

Redemption proceeds are typically sent on the next business day after a request is received in good order. As permitted by federal law, the Fund may delay payment for up to seven calendar days. The Fund also reserves the right to delay payment for shares recently purchased by check or via Automated Clearing House (ACH) until the payment has cleared, which may take up to 10 business days (or longer, if necessary). Proceeds are generally paid by check, wire transfer, or ACH, as elected by the shareholder.

**Federal and State Income Tax Withholding (IRAs and Other Retirement Accounts)**

Distributions from IRAs and other retirement accounts may be subject to federal income tax withholding and, where applicable, state income tax withholding. Federal income tax generally will be withheld from IRA distributions unless you elect otherwise on the applicable request form. If you do not make a withholding election, withholding will be applied in accordance with applicable law and IRS rules. State income tax withholding may also apply depending on your state of residence and applicable state law. Withholding is not a determination of your actual tax liability.

**Involuntary Redemptions**

To minimize Fund operating expenses, the Fund reserves the right to redeem your shares and close your account if your account balance falls below the $1,000 minimum for any reason other than a decline in the Fund's net asset value (NAV). If your account falls below this required minimum, the Fund will provide you with 30 days' written notice to increase your account balance. If the balance is not brought up to the required minimum within this notice period, the Fund may, at its sole discretion, redeem all shares and mail a check for the proceeds to your address of record.

All shares of the Fund are also subject to involuntary redemption if the Board of Trustees determines, in its sole discretion, to liquidate the Fund. In such an event, the Fund will provide notice to shareholders, but will not be required to obtain shareholder approval prior to such liquidation. An involuntary liquidation or redemption is generally considered a taxable event and will create a capital gain or a capital loss. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors regarding any potential tax consequences.

**Systematic Withdrawal Plan ("SWP")**

Shareholders may redeem shares through a Systematic Withdrawal Plan ("SWP"), which provides for regular, periodic redemptions in accordance with the shareholder's instructions and the transfer agent's procedures. With the shareholder's authorization, the transfer agent will process SWP redemptions in the amount and frequency selected by the shareholder. Shareholders may change or terminate SWP instructions at any time by contacting the transfer agent. The Fund and/or the transfer agent may modify, suspend, or terminate the SWP at any time.

**Suspension of Redemptions** 

The right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed (a) when trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is restricted, as determined by applicable rules and regulations of the SEC; (b) when the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings; (c) when the SEC has by order permitted such suspension; or (d) during an emergency, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to dispose of securities or to determine the value of its net assets.

**Rights Reserved by the Funds**

Each Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to: (i) reject or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order; (ii) modify any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund; (iii) reject or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan or Systematic Redemption Plan; (iv) modify or terminate any sales charge waivers or exceptions; and (v) suspend, change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.

**Meeting Redemption Requests**

Generally, all redemptions will be paid in cash. The Fund typically expects to satisfy requests by using holdings of cash or cash equivalents or selling portfolio assets. On a less regular basis, and if the adviser believes it is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders not to sell portfolio assets, the Fund may satisfy redemption requests by using short-term borrowing from the Fund's custodian. These methods normally will be used during both regular and stressed market conditions.

**Redemptions in Kind**

In addition to paying redemption proceeds in cash, the Fund reserves the right to make payment for a redemption in securities rather than cash, which is known as a "redemption in kind." This would be done only under extraordinary circumstances, including during stressed market conditions, and if the Fund deems it advisable for the benefit of all shareholders, such as a very large redemption that could affect Fund operations (for example, more than 1% of the Fund's net assets). If the amount you are redeeming is over the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the Fund's net assets, the Fund has the right to redeem your shares by giving you the amount that exceeds the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the Fund's net assets in securities instead of cash. A redemption in kind will consist of securities equal in market value to the Fund shares being redeemed, using the same valuation procedures that the Fund uses to compute its NAV. Redemption in kind transactions will typically be made by delivering readily marketable securities to the redeeming shareholder within 7 days after the Transfer Agent's receipt of the redemption order in proper form. Marketable securities are assets that are regularly traded or where updated price quotations are available. Illiquid securities are investments that a Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. Certain illiquid securities may be valued using estimated prices from one of the Fund's approved pricing agents. If the Fund redeems your shares in kind, it will value the securities pursuant to policies and procedures adopted by the Board. You will bear the market risks associated with maintaining or selling the securities that are transferred as redemption proceeds. In the event that an in-kind distribution is made, a shareholder may incur additional expenses, such as taxes or the payment of brokerage commissions, on the sale or other disposition of the securities received from the Fund.

**Account Statement and Transaction Confirmations** 

You will receive periodic account statements summarizing all account activity, including purchases, redemptions, exchanges, and any reinvested dividends or capital gains. Additionally, a transaction confirmation will be sent for each financial transaction that occurs in your account, except for those taking place on a recurring basis, such as through an automatic investment plan or for dividend and capital gain distributions. For recurring transactions, the details will appear on your periodic account statement, serving as confirmation for such activity.

It is your responsibility to carefully review all transaction confirmations and account statements for accuracy immediately upon receipt. You must contact the Fund or its Transfer Agent in writing or by telephone promptly within 60 days of the date of the statement or confirmation that first reflects the disputed item. If you fail to provide timely notification within this 60-day period, you will be deemed to have ratified all account activity set forth therein, and the Fund and its agents will not be liable for any losses that may result from your failure to report the issue.

**Uncashed Checks and Automatic Dividend and Capital Gain Reinvestment** 

If you elect to receive your dividend and capital gain distributions via check, ACH or wire, and the distribution amount is $50 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested as additional shares into your account.

For non-retirement and non-educational accounts, any dividend and capital gain distributions sent by check which are not cashed within 180 days will be reinvested into your account at the current day's NAV. When reinvested, those amounts are subject to market risk like any other investment. Your distribution option will automatically be converted to having all dividends and capital gain distributions reinvested into your account as additional shares if any of the following occur:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Postal or other delivery service is unable to deliver mail or checks to the address of record thereby designating your account as "lost";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Dividends and capital gain distributions checks are not cashed within 180 days; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Bank account of record is no longer valid.

For non-retirement and non-educational accounts, redemption proceeds sent by check which are not cashed within 180 days will be reinvested into your account at the current day's NAV. When reinvested, redemption proceeds are subject to market risk like any other investment.

**Rights Reserved by the Fund.** The Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to: (i) reject or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order; (ii) modify any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund; (iii) reject or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan or Systematic Redemption Plan; (iv) modify or terminate any sales charge waivers or exceptions; and (v) suspend, change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.

**Lost Shareholders, Inactive Accounts and Unclaimed Property**

Unclaimed property laws may require the Fund or its transfer agent to transfer the assets of accounts that are considered abandoned, inactive, or lost (due to returned mail) to the appropriate state authority. An account may be deemed unclaimed if the shareholder has not initiated any contact or transaction within a time period specified by applicable state law.

Before any transfer to the state is made, the Fund or its transfer agent will send a due diligence notice to the shareholder, if legislatively required.

In some cases, this process is referred to as escheatment, and shareholders may be required to reclaim the assets from the applicable state's unclaimed property office. Some states may also require the liquidation of shares prior to escheatment, and shareholders may only be entitled to receive the cash value at the time of sale.

For retirement accounts, such escheatment may be treated as a taxable distribution, and federal and/or state income tax withholding may apply.

To help avoid escheatment, shareholders should maintain current contact information and periodically initiate contact with the Fund or its transfer agent. Examples of shareholder-initiated contact include written correspondence, telephone inquiries, or initiating a transaction in the account.

In accordance with Texas law, residents of the state of Texas may designate a representative to receive legislatively required unclaimed property due diligence notifications. A Texas Designation of Representative Form is available for making such an election.

**Distribution Plan**

The Fund has adopted a plan of distribution under Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Plan"). The Plan allows the Fund to make payments to securities dealers and other financial organizations (including payments directly to the Adviser and the Distributor) for expenses related to the distribution and servicing of the Fund's shares. The annual fees payable under the Plan may not exceed an amount equal to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an ongoing basis, over time they will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. The Plan is not self-operative, however, and the Board of Trustees must approve the Fund charging and paying any fees that are made pursuant to the Plan. If the Board of Trustees approves such payments, the Fund will notify each shareholder of record by providing that shareholder with a prospectus supplement that discloses the amount of fees that will be charged under the Plan. Expenses related to the distribution and servicing of the Fund's shares may include payments to securities dealers and other persons who are engaged in the sale of shares of the Fund and who may be advising shareholders regarding the sale or retention of such shares; expenses of maintaining personnel who render shareholder support services not otherwise provided by the Transfer Agent or the Fund; expenses of preparing, printing or distributing prospectuses and statements of additional information and reports for recipients other than existing shareholders of the Fund; and any other expenses related to the distribution and servicing of the Fund's shares. The Adviser may make additional payments to financial organizations from its own assets. The payment by the Adviser of any such additional compensation will not affect the expense ratio of the Fund.

**Dividends, Distributions and Taxes**

The following information is meant as a general summary for U.S. taxpayers. Additional information appears in the SAI. Shareholders should rely on their own tax advisors for advice about the particular federal, state and local tax consequences of investing in the Fund.

The Fund has elected to be treated as and has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for federal income tax purposes, and as such, it will not be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income and gains that it distributes to its shareholders. The Fund intends to distribute its income and gains in such a way that it will not be subject to a federal excise tax on certain undistributed amounts.

Income dividends and net capital gain distributions, if any, are normally declared and paid annually in December by the Fund. Your distributions of dividends and capital gains will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund unless you elect to receive them in cash. The Fund's distributions of income and capital gains, whether received in cash or reinvested in additional shares, will be subject to federal income tax.

Distributions attributable to net investment income and short-term capital gains are generally taxed as ordinary income. A portion of the income dividends paid to you may be qualified dividends eligible to be taxed to noncorporate taxpayers at reduced rates or eligible for a 50% dividends-received deduction available to corporations. Distributions of long-term capital gains are generally taxed as long-term capital gains, regardless of how long you have held your Fund shares.

When you redeem your Fund shares, you generally realize a capital gain or loss as long as you hold the shares as capital assets. Generally, except for investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-advantaged arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or IRA accounts, and tax-exempt investors that do not borrow to purchase Fund shares, any gain realized on a redemption of Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax.

You will be notified by February 15<sup>th</sup> of each year about the federal tax status of distributions made by the Fund during the prior year. Depending on your residence for tax purposes, distributions also may be subject to state and local taxes.

Federal law requires the Fund to withhold taxes on distributions paid to shareholders who fail to provide a social security number or taxpayer identification number or fail to certify that such number is correct. Foreign shareholders may be subject to special withholding requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fund reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to redeem a shareholder who the Fund believes has failed to provide it with adequate taxpayer information.

**Cost Basis Reporting.** The Fund is required to report cost basis information to the IRS and to shareholders on Form 1099-B for redemptions of "covered shares," which are generally shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012.

The Fund's default cost basis calculation method is **Average Cost**. This method will be applied to your account unless you affirmatively elect a different IRS-accepted method, such as First-In, First-Out (FIFO) or Specific Share Identification. You may make this election for future transactions by providing written instructions, contacting Shareholder Services at 1-877-370-7277, or through your online account portal, where available.

Please note that, in accordance with IRS regulations, the cost basis method elected for the first redemption of covered shares cannot be changed after the settlement of the redemption. The cost basis method you select may have significant tax implications. The Fund is not authorized to provide tax advice. We strongly recommend you consult your tax advisor to determine which method is most suitable for your individual circumstances.

Because everyone's tax situation is not the same, you should consult your tax professional about federal, state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.

**Financial Highlights**

The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the Fund's financial performance for the period of its operations. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total return in the table represents the rate that an investor would have earned on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). The information from 2023. 2024, and 2025 has been audited by Cohen & Company, Ltd., the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the Fund's financial statements, is included in the Fund's report filed on Form N-CSR, which may be obtained at no charge by calling the Fund at 1-877-370-7277. Information prior to 2023, was audited by the Fund's previous independent registered public accounting firm.

**<u>OVERVIEW OF PAPP INVESTMENT TRUST</u>**

Papp Investment Trust (the "Trust"), organized as an Ohio business trust on November 12, 2009, is an open-end management investment company which currently offers one diversified investment portfolio, the Papp Small & Mid-Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund's investments are managed by L. Roy Papp & Associates, LLP (the "Adviser"). For further information on the Fund, please call 1-877-370-7277.

**ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON INVESTMENTS, STRATEGIES AND RISKS**

Information contained in this Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") expands upon information contained in the Fund's Prospectus. No investment in shares of the Fund should be made without first reading the Prospectus.

**Preferred Stock, Warrants and Rights.** The Fund may invest in preferred stock. Preferred stocks are securities that represent an ownership interest providing the holder with claims on the issuer's earnings and assets before common stock owners but after bond owners. Unlike debt securities, the obligations of an issuer of preferred stock, including dividend and other payment obligations, may not typically be accelerated by the holders of such preferred stock on the occurrence of an event of default or other non-compliance by the issuer of the preferred stock. Preferred stocks may include the obligation to pay a stated dividend. The price of preferred stocks could depend more on the size of the dividend than on the company's performance. If a company fails to pay the dividend, its preferred stock is likely to drop in price. Changes in interest rates can also affect the price of preferred stocks.

Warrants are essentially options to purchase equity securities at specific prices and are valid for a specific period of time. Rights are similar to warrants but generally have a short duration and are distributed directly by the issuer to its shareholders. The holders of warrants and rights have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the issuer. Investments in warrants and rights involve certain risks, including the possible lack of a liquid market for resale, potential price fluctuations as a result of speculation or other factors, and failure of the price of the underlying security to reach or have reasonable prospects of reaching a level at which the warrant or right can be prudently exercised (in which event the warrant or right may expire without being exercised, resulting in a loss of the Fund's entire investment therein).

**Foreign Securities.** Subject to its investment policies and quality standards, the Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers that trade on U.S. stock exchanges or in the form of American Depositary Shares ("ADSs"). ADSs are receipts that evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign issuer. ADSs are generally issued by a U.S. bank or trust company to U.S. buyers as a substitute for direct ownership of a foreign security and are traded on U.S. exchanges. ADSs, in registered form, are designed for use in the U.S. securities markets. ADSs may be purchased through "sponsored" or "unsponsored" facilities. A sponsored facility is established jointly by the issuer of the underlying security and a depositary. A depositary may establish an unsponsored facility without participation by the issuer of the deposited security. The depositary of an unsponsored ADS is under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the issuer of the deposited security or to pass through voting rights with respect to the deposited security.

Investments in ADSs are subject to risks similar to those associated with direct investments in foreign securities. Investing in the securities of foreign issuers involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. The performance of foreign markets does not necessarily track U.S. markets. Foreign investments may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in currency rates and exchange control regulations. There may be less publicly available information about a foreign company than about a U.S. company, and foreign companies may not be subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies. There may be less governmental supervision of securities markets, brokers and issuers of securities than in the U.S. Foreign securities often trade with less frequency and volume than domestic securities and therefore may exhibit less liquidity and greater price volatility than securities of U.S. companies. Investments in foreign securities may also be subject to other risks different from those affecting U.S. investments, including local political or economic developments, expropriation or nationalization of assets, restrictions on foreign investment and repatriation of capital, imposition of withholding taxes on dividend or interest payments, currency blockage (which would prevent cash from being brought back to the U.S.), limits on proxy voting and difficulty in enforcing legal rights outside the U.S. Currency exchange rates and regulations may cause fluctuation in the value of foreign securities. In addition, foreign securities and dividends and interest payable on those securities may be subject to foreign taxes, including taxes withheld from payments on those securities.

**Debt Securities.** The Fund may invest in corporate debt securities and U.S. Government obligations. Corporate securities include, but are not limited to, debt obligations offered by public or private corporations that are either registered or unregistered. The market value of such securities may fluctuate in response to interest rates and the creditworthiness of the issuer. A debt instrument's credit quality depends on the issuer's ability to pay interest on the security and repay the debt; the lower the credit rating, the greater the risk that the security's issuer will default. The credit risk of a security may also depend on the credit quality of any bank or financial institution that provides credit enhancement for the security. In the case of corporate debt, the Fund will normally purchase investment grade securities, meaning securities rated BBB or better by Standard & Poor's or any comparable rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO") or, if unrated, as determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.

"U.S. Government obligations" include securities which are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, by various agencies of the U.S. Government, and by various instrumentalities which have been established or sponsored by the U.S. Government. U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the "full faith and credit" of the U.S. Government. U.S. Treasury obligations include Treasury Bills, Treasury Notes, and Treasury Bonds. Treasury Bills have initial maturities of one year or less; Treasury Notes have initial maturities of one to ten years; and Treasury Bonds generally have initial maturities of greater than ten years.

Agencies and instrumentalities established by the U.S. Government include the Federal Home Loan Banks, the Federal Land Bank, the Government National Mortgage Association, the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Small Business Administration, the Bank for Cooperatives, the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, the Federal Financing Bank, the Federal Farm Credit Banks, the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation, the Resolution Funding Corporation, the Financing Corporation of America and the Tennessee Valley Authority. Some of these securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government while others are supported only by the credit of the agency or instrumentality, which may include the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. In the case of U.S. Government obligations not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the investor must look principally to the agency or instrumentality issuing or guaranteeing the obligation for ultimate repayment, and may not be able to assert a claim against the U.S. Government itself in the event the agency or instrumentality does not meet its commitment. U.S. Government obligations are subject to price fluctuations based upon changes in the level of interest rates, which will generally result in all those securities changing in price in the same way, i.e., all those securities experiencing appreciation when interest rates decline and depreciation when interest rates rise.

Although high debt levels do not necessarily indicate or cause economic problems, they may create certain systemic risks if sound debt management practices are not implemented. A high national debt level may increase market pressures to meet government funding needs, which may drive debt cost higher and cause a country to sell additional debt, thereby increasing refinancing risk. A high national debt also raises concerns that a government will not be able to make principal or interest payments when they are due.

Unsustainable debt levels can cause devaluations of currency, prevent a government from implementing effective counter-cyclical fiscal policy in economic downturns, and contribute to market volatility. In addition, the high and rising national debt may adversely impact the U.S. economy and securities in which the Fund may invest. From time to time, uncertainty regarding the status of negotiations in the U.S. government to increase the statutory debt ceiling could: increase the risk that the U.S. government may default on payments on certain U.S. government securities; cause the credit rating of the U.S. government to be downgraded or increase volatility in both stock and bond markets; result in higher interest rates; reduce prices of U.S. Treasury securities; and/or increase the costs of certain kinds of debt.

**Investment Companies, Exchange Traded Funds and Other Similar Instruments*.*** Shares of exchange traded funds ("ETFs") and other similar instruments may be purchased by the Fund. An ETF is typically an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") that holds a portfolio of common stocks, often designed to track the performance of a particular index or market sector. ETFs sell and redeem their shares at net asset value ("NAV") in large blocks (typically 50,000 of its shares) called "creation units." Shares representing fractional interests in these creation units are listed for trading on national securities exchanges and can be purchased and sold in the secondary market like ordinary stocks in lots of any size at any time during the trading day.

Instruments the Fund may purchase that are similar to ETFs represent beneficial ownership interests in specific "baskets" of stocks of companies within a particular industry sector or group. These securities may also be listed on national securities exchanges and purchased and sold in the secondary market, but unlike ETFs, are not registered as investment companies under the 1940 Act. Such securities may also be exchange traded, but because they are not registered as investment companies, they are not subject to the percentage investment limitations imposed by the 1940 Act.

An investment in an ETF generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional fund (i.e., one that is not exchange traded), including the risk that the general level of stock prices, or that the prices of stocks within a particular sector, may increase or decline, thereby affecting the value of the shares of an ETF. In addition, ETFs are subject to the following risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds: (1) the market price of the ETF's shares may trade at a discount or premium to NAV; (2) an active trading market for an ETF's shares may not develop or be maintained; (3) trading of an ETF's shares may be halted if the listing exchange deems such action appropriate; and (4) ETF shares may be delisted from the exchange on which they trade, or activation of "circuit breakers" (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) may halt trading temporarily. ETFs are also subject to the risks of the underlying securities or sectors the ETF is designed to track.

Because ETFs and pools that issue similar instruments bear various fees and expenses, the Fund will pay a proportionate share of these expenses, as well as transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions. As with traditional mutual funds, ETFs charge asset-based fees, although these fees tend to be relatively low. ETFs do not charge initial sales loads or redemption fees and investors pay only customary brokerage fees to buy and sell ETF shares.

Generally, under the 1940 Act, the Fund may not acquire shares of another investment company (including ETFs) if, immediately after such acquisition, (i) the Fund would hold more than 3% of the other investment company's total outstanding shares, (ii) the Fund's investment in securities of the other investment company would be more than 5% of the value of the total assets of the Fund, or (iii) more than 10% of the Fund's total assets would be invested in investment companies.

Investments by the Fund in other investment companies, including ETFs, are also subject to Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act, which permits the Fund to invest in other investment companies beyond the statutory limits, without obtaining an exemptive order subject to certain conditions. Under Rule 12d1-4, an acquired fund is prohibited from purchasing or otherwise acquiring the securities of another investment company or private fund if, immediately after the purchase, the securities of investment companies and private funds owned by the acquired fund have an aggregate value in excess of 10% of the value of the acquired fund's total assets, subject to certain limited exceptions. Accordingly, to the extent the Fund's shares are sold to other investment companies in reliance on Rule 12d1-4, the Fund will be limited in the amount it could invest in other investment companies and private funds. In addition to Rule 12d1-4, the 1940 Act and related rules provide certain other exemptions from these restrictions.

**Description of Money Market Instruments.** The Fund may invest in money market instruments as part of a temporary defensive position, as described below, or for liquidity purposes. Money market instruments may include U.S. Government obligations or corporate debt obligations (including those subject to repurchase agreements) as described herein, provided that they mature in thirteen months or less from the date of acquisition and are otherwise eligible for purchase by the Fund. Money market instruments also may include Bankers' Acceptances, Certificates of Deposit of domestic branches of U.S. banks, Commercial Paper, Variable Amount Demand Master Notes ("Master Notes") and

shares of money market investment companies. **Bankers' Acceptances** are time drafts drawn on and "accepted" by a bank, which are the customary means of effecting payment for merchandise sold in import-export transactions and are a source of financing used extensively in international trade. When a bank "accepts" such a time draft, it assumes liability for its payment. When the Fund acquires a Bankers' Acceptance, the bank which "accepted" the time draft is liable for payment of interest and principal when due. The Bankers' Acceptance, therefore, carries the full faith and credit of such bank. A **Certificate of Deposit** ("CD") is an unsecured interest-bearing debt obligation of a bank. CDs acquired by the Fund would generally be in amounts of $100,000 or more. **Commercial Paper** is an unsecured, short term debt obligation of a bank, corporation or other borrower. Commercial Paper maturity generally ranges from two to 270 days and is usually sold on a discounted basis rather than as an interest-bearing instrument. The Fund will invest in Commercial Paper only if it is rated in the highest rating category by any NRSRO or, if not rated, if the issuer has an outstanding unsecured debt issue rated in the three highest categories by any NRSRO or, if not so rated, is of equivalent quality in the Adviser's assessment. Commercial Paper may include Master Notes of the same quality. **Master Notes** are unsecured obligations which are redeemable upon demand of the holder and which permit the investment of fluctuating amounts at varying rates of interest. Master Notes are acquired by the Fund only through the Master Note program of the custodian, acting as administrator thereof. The Adviser will monitor, on a continuous basis, the earnings power, cash flow and other liquidity ratios of the issuer of a Master Note held by the Fund. The Fund may invest in shares of **money market investment companies** to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act.

In December 2023, the SEC adopted rule amendments that require any covered clearing agency ("CCA") for U.S. Treasury securities to mandate that each of its direct participants (generally banks and broker-dealers that meet certain membership criteria) submit for clearance and settlement all eligible secondary market U.S. Treasury securities transactions to which they are a counterparty. The clearing requirement extends to all repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements of such direct participants that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities (collectively, "Treasury repo transactions") of a type accepted for clearing by a registered CCA, including both bilateral Treasury repo transactions and triparty Treasury repo transactions for which a bank acts as agent for custody, collateral management, and settlement services. These transactions had not historically been subject to mandatory central clearing, and voluntary central clearing of such transactions has generally been limited.

Treasury repo transactions entered into by a Fund with any direct participant of a CCA will be subject to this mandatory clearing requirement. Compliance with the clearing mandate for Treasury repo transactions will be required by June 30, 2027, at which time a Fund will be obligated to clear all or substantially all of its Treasury repo transactions. There are, at present, significant regulatory and operational uncertainties related to the implementation of these requirements, which may affect the cost, terms, and/or availability of cleared Treasury repo transactions.

**Repurchase Agreements.** The Fund may purchase securities pursuant to repurchase agreements. Under the terms of a repurchase agreement, the Fund acquires securities from a member bank of the Federal Reserve or a registered broker-dealer which the Adviser deems creditworthy, subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase those securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller under a repurchase agreement is obligated to maintain at all times with the custodian or a sub-custodian the underlying securities as collateral in an amount not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). If the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation or becomes insolvent, the Fund has the right to sell the collateral and recover the amount due from the seller. However, the Fund will suffer a loss to the extent that the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities is less than the repurchase price under the agreement, or to the extent that the disposition of the securities by the Fund is delayed pending court action. Repurchase agreements are considered to be loans by the Fund under the 1940 Act.

**Illiquid Securities.** The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, but will limit its investment in illiquid securities to no more than 15% of its net assets. Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Fund assesses, manages, and periodically reviews its liquidity risk. Illiquid securities are securities that cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in 7 calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. The sale of some illiquid and other types of securities may be subject to legal restrictions.

Certain restricted securities are illiquid unless it is determined, based upon a review of the trading markets for a specific restricted security, that such restricted security is liquid because it is so-called "4(2) commercial paper" or is otherwise eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 ("144A Securities"). Investing in 144A Securities may decrease the liquidity of the Fund's portfolio to the extent that Qualified Institutional Buyers become for a time uninterested in purchasing these restricted securities. The purchase price and subsequent valuation of restricted and illiquid securities normally reflect a discount, which may be significant, from the market price of comparable securities for which a liquid market exists.

If the Fund invests in securities for which there is no ready market, it may not be able to readily sell such securities. Such securities are unlike securities that are traded in the open market, and which can be expected to be sold immediately if the market is adequate. The sale price of illiquid securities once realized may be lower or higher than the Adviser's most recent estimate of their fair market value. Generally, less public information is available about the issuers of such securities than about companies whose securities are publicly traded.

**Borrowing Money.** The Fund does not intend to borrow money for the purpose of purchasing securities, but may borrow up to one-third of its total assets, including the amount of such borrowing, to maintain necessary liquidity to make payments for redemptions of Fund shares or for temporary emergency purposes. Borrowing involves the creation of a liability that requires the Fund to pay interest. The risks of borrowing include a higher volatility of the NAV of the Fund's shares and the relatively greater effect on the NAV of the shares caused by declines in the prices of the Fund's investments, adverse market movements and increases in the cost of borrowing. The effect of borrowing in a declining market could be a greater decrease in NAV per share than if the Fund had not borrowed money. In an extreme case, if the Fund's current investment income were not sufficient to meet the interest expense of borrowing, it could be necessary for the Fund to liquidate certain of its investments at an inappropriate time.

**Lending of Portfolio Securities.** In order to generate additional income, the Fund may, from time to time, lend its portfolio securities in an amount up to one-third of its total assets to broker-dealers, banks or institutional borrowers of securities. The Fund must receive collateral, in the form of cash or U.S. government securities, equal to at least 100% of the value of the loaned securities. This collateral must be valued daily and, should the market value of the loaned securities increase, the borrower must furnish additional collateral to the Fund. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower pays the Fund any dividends or interest paid on such securities. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time. While the Fund does not have the right to vote securities on loan, it has the right to terminate the loan and attempt to regain the right to vote if the Adviser believes that voting on a particular proposal is important with respect to the investment. With respect to loans of securities, there is the risk that the borrower may fail to return the loaned securities in a timely manner, or at all, or that the borrower may not be able to provide additional collateral. In the event the borrower defaults in its obligation to the Fund, the Fund bears the risk of delay in the recovery of its portfolio securities and the risk of loss of rights in the collateral. The Fund will only enter into loan arrangements with broker-dealers, banks or other institutions that the Adviser has determined are creditworthy under guidelines established by the Trustees.

**Cyber Security Risk.** With the increased use of technologies, such as the Internet, to conduct business, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Cyber-attacks include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems (e.g., through "hacking" or malicious software coding) for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cyber-attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites (i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users). Cyber incidents affecting the Adviser and other service providers (including, but not limited to, fund accountants, custodians, transfer agents and financial intermediaries) have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Fund's ability to calculate its NAV, impediments to trading, the inability of Fund investors to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs and additional compliance costs. Similar adverse consequences could result from cyber incidents affecting issuers of securities in which the Fund invests, counterparties with which the Fund engages in transactions, governmental and other regulatory authorities, exchange and other financial market operators, banks, brokers, dealers, insurance companies and other financial institutions (including financial intermediaries and service providers for fund shareholders) and other parties. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. Although service providers typically have business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, such cyber incidents, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cyber security plans and systems put in place by its service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect the Fund or its shareholders. The Fund and its investors could be negatively impacted as a result. The rapid development and increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence could increase the effectiveness of cyberattacks and exacerbate the risks.

**Temporary Defensive Positions.** The Fund may from time to time take temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with its principal investment strategies to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. If the Adviser believes a temporary defensive position is warranted in view of market conditions, the Fund may hold cash or invest up to 100% of its assets in high-quality short-term government or corporate obligations, money market instruments or shares of money market mutual funds. Taking a temporary defensive position may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The Fund may also hold these investments for liquidity purposes.

**Portfolio Turnover.** The portfolio turnover rate for the Fund is calculated by dividing the lesser of the Fund's purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the year by the monthly average value of the securities. The Fund's portfolio turnover rate may vary greatly from year to year as well as within a particular year, and may also be affected by cash requirements for redemption of shares. High portfolio turnover rates will generally result in higher transaction costs to the Fund, including brokerage commissions, and may result in additional tax consequences to the Fund's shareholders. During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the portfolio turnover rate of the Fund was 4%, 4% and 6%, respectively.

**Natural Disaster/Epidemic Risk.** Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics, have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely impacting individual companies, sectors, industries, markets, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Fund's investments. Given the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region are increasingly likely to adversely affect markets, issuers, and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. These disruptions could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and negatively impact the Funds' ability to achieve their investment objectives. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund.

**Artificial Intelligence Risk.** The use and development of artificial intelligence ("AI") technologies is rapidly increasing and may be used by issuers in which the Fund invests. It also may be used by service providers that provide services to the Fund. AI technologies are highly reliant on the collection and analysis of large amounts of data and complex algorithms, and it is possible that the information generated from AI technologies could be incomplete, inaccurate or biased, which could lead to adverse effects for the issuers or service providers using such technology. Because of these challenges, the use of AI could result in reputational harm, legal liability, adverse effects on business operations and/or operational errors and investment losses, all of which could impact the Fund. In addition, the increasing development and use of AI technologies could impact the market as a whole and may face regulatory scrutiny in the future, which could limit the development of this technology and impede the growth of companies that develop and use AI. AI technologies continue to rapidly evolve, and it is impossible to predict the full extent of risks that could impact the Fund.

**INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS**

The Fund has adopted certain fundamental investment limitations that may not be changed without the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. As used in the Prospectus and this SAI, the term "majority" of the outstanding shares of the Fund means the lesser of (1) 67% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present or represented at such meeting; or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. See the Prospectus for more information about the Fund's investment objective and investment strategies, each of which are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Borrowing Money</u>. The Fund may not engage in borrowing except as permitted by the 1940 Act, any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or interpretations of the SEC or its staff.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Senior Securities</u>. The Fund will not issue senior securities. This limitation is not applicable to activities that may be deemed to involve the issuance or sale of a senior security by the Fund, provided that the Fund's engagement in such activities is consistent with or permitted by the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or interpretations of the SEC or its staff.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Underwriting</u>. The Fund will not act as underwriter of securities issued by other persons. This limitation is not applicable to the extent that, in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities (including restricted securities), the Fund may be deemed an underwriter under certain federal securities laws or in connection with investments in other investment companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Real Estate</u>. The Fund will not purchase or sell real estate. This limitation is not applicable to investments in marketable securities which are secured by or represent interests in real estate. This limitation does not preclude the Fund from holding or selling real estate acquired as a result of the Fund's ownership of securities or other instruments, investing in mortgage-related securities or investing in companies engaged in the real estate business or that have a significant portion of their assets in real estate (including real estate investment trusts).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Commodities</u>. The Fund will not purchase or sell commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other investments. This limitation does not preclude the Fund from purchasing or selling options or futures contracts, from investing in securities or other instruments backed by commodities or from investing in companies which are engaged in a commodities business or have a significant portion of their assets in commodities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Loans</u>. The Fund will not make loans to other persons, except (a) by loaning portfolio securities, (b) by engaging in repurchase agreements, (c) by purchasing publicly or non-publicly offered debt securities, (d) by purchasing commercial paper, or (e) by entering into any other lending arrangement permitted by the 1940 Act, any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or interpretations of the SEC or its staff. For purposes of this limitation, the term "loans" shall not include the purchase of a portion of an issue of publicly distributed bonds, debentures or other debt securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Concentration</u>. The Fund will not invest more than 25% of its total assets in a particular industry or group of industries. This limitation is not applicable to investments in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities or repurchase agreements with respect thereto, or investments in registered investment companies.

In addition, the Fund has adopted the following non-fundamental restriction that may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval:

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks of small capitalization ("small-cap") and mid-capitalization ("mid-cap") companies, as those terms are defined in the Prospectus (the "80% investment policy"). The Fund will notify Fund shareholders at least 60 days prior to a change in the 80% investment policy.

With respect to any percentages adopted by the Trust as maximum limitations on its investment policies and limitations, an excess above the fixed percentage will not be a violation of the policy or limitation unless the excess results immediately and directly from the acquisition of any security or the action taken. This paragraph does not apply to percentage restrictions relative to the borrowing of money.

**CALCULATION OF SHARE PRICE**

The share price or NAV of shares of the Fund is determined as of the close of the regular session of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") on each day the NYSE is open for trading. Currently, the NYSE is open for trading on every day except Saturdays, Sundays and the following holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

For purposes of computing the Fund's NAV, securities are valued at market value as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each business day the NYSE is open. Securities listed on the NYSE or other exchanges are valued on the basis of their last sale prices on the exchanges on which they are primarily traded. If there are no sales on that day, the securities are valued at the closing bid price on the NYSE or other primary exchange for that day. NASDAQ listed securities are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. If there are no sales on that day, the securities are valued at the last bid price as reported by NASDAQ. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last sale price, if available, otherwise at the most recently quoted bid price. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable due to market or other events, securities and other assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. Securities that do not have a readily available current market value are valued in good faith by the Adviser as "valuation designee" under the oversight of the Board. The Adviser is responsible for periodically assessing any material risks associated with the determination of the fair value of a Fund's investments; establishing and applying fair value methodologies; testing the appropriateness of fair value methodologies; and overseeing and evaluating third-party pricing services. The Adviser has delegated some of its responsibility to a Pricing Committee to assist it with its responsibilities as valuation designee. On a quarterly basis,

the Adviser's fair valuation determinations will be reviewed by the Board. The Fund's policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Fund's NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing. However, fair values determined pursuant to the Fund's procedures may not accurately reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing. Debt and fixed income securities are priced by independent, third-party pricing agents approved by the Adviser. One or more pricing services may be utilized to determine the fair value of securities held by the Fund. The Adviser will review the methods used by such services to assure itself that securities are appropriately valued.

If the Fund has portfolio securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not price it shares, the NAV of the Fund's shares may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem the Fund's shares.

**ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION**

Shares of the Fund are offered for sale on a continuous basis. Shares are sold and redeemed at their NAV, as next determined after receipt of the purchase or redemption order in proper form.

The Fund normally makes payment for Fund shares redeemed within 7 days after receipt by the Fund's transfer agent of a redemption request in proper form. Under unusual circumstances as provided by the rules of the SEC, the Fund may suspend the right of redemption or delay payment of redemption proceeds for more than 7 days. A requested wire of redemption proceeds normally will be sent on the business day following a redemption. However, when shares are purchased by check, the proceeds from the redemption of those shares will not be paid until the purchase check has been converted to federal funds, which could take up to 10 business days.

The Fund may suspend the right of redemption or postpone the date of payment for shares during a period when: (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted by applicable rules and regulations of the SEC; (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings; (c) the SEC has by order permitted these suspensions; or (d) an emergency exists as a result of which: (i) disposal by the Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable, or (ii) it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to determine the value of its assets.

The Fund reserves the right to make payment for a redemption in securities rather than cash, which is known as a "redemption in kind." This would be done only under extraordinary circumstances and if the Fund deems it advisable for the benefit of all shareholders, such as a very large redemption that could affect Fund operations (for example, more than 1% of the Fund's net assets). A redemption in kind will consist of liquid securities equal in market value to your shares. When you convert these securities to cash, you will pay brokerage charges.

**SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER SERVICES**

As noted in the Prospectus, the Fund offers the following shareholder services:

**Regular Account.** The regular account allows for voluntary investments to be made at any time. Available to individuals, custodians, corporations, trusts, estates, corporate retirement plans and others, investors are free to make additions to and withdrawals from their account as often as they wish. When an investor makes an initial investment in the Fund, a shareholder account is opened in accordance with the investor's registration instructions. Each time there is a transaction in a shareholder account, such as an additional investment or a redemption, the shareholder will receive a confirmation statement showing the current transaction.

**Automatic Investment Plan.** The automatic investment plan enables investors to make regular periodic investments in shares through automatic charges to their checking account. With shareholder authorization and bank approval, the Fund's transfer agent will automatically charge the checking account for the amount specified ($100 minimum) which will be automatically invested in shares at the NAV on or about the fifteenth and/or the last business day of the month, or both. The shareholder may change the amount of the investment or discontinue the plan at any time by writing to the Fund.

**Automatic Withdrawal Plan.** Shareholders owning shares with a value of $5,000 or more may establish an Automatic Withdrawal Plan. A shareholder may receive monthly or quarterly payments in amounts of not less than $100 per payment, by authorizing the Fund to redeem the necessary number of shares periodically (each month or quarter as specified). Payments may be made directly to an investor's account with a commercial bank or other depository institution via an Automated Clearing House ("ACH") transaction. Payment may also be made by check made payable to the designated recipient and mailed within 7 days of the redemption date. If the designated recipient is other than the registered shareholder, the signature of each shareholder must be guaranteed on the instructions (see "How to Redeem Shares" in the Prospectus). A corporation (or partnership) must also submit a "Corporate Resolution" (or "Certification of Partnership") indicating the names, titles and required number of signatures authorized to act on its behalf. The application must be signed by a duly authorized officer(s) and the corporate seal affixed.

Costs in conjunction with the administration of the plan are borne by the Fund. Investors should be aware that such systematic withdrawals may deplete or use up entirely their initial investment and that the redemption of shares to make withdrawal payments may result in realized long-term or short-term capital gains or losses. The Automatic Withdrawal Plan may be terminated at any time by the Fund upon thirty days written notice or by a shareholder upon written notice to the Fund. Applications and further details may be obtained by calling the Fund at 1-877-370-7277, or by writing to:

**MANAGEMENT OF THE TRUST**

Overall responsibility for management of the Trust rests with its Trustees, who are elected by the Trust's shareholders or existing members of the Board of Trustees. The Trustees serve for terms of indefinite duration until death, resignation, retirement or removal from office. The Trustees, in turn, elect the officers of the Trust to actively supervise the Trust's day-to-day operations. The officers are elected annually. Certain officers of the Trust also may serve as Trustees.

The Trust will be managed by the Trustees in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio governing business trusts. There are currently five Trustees, three of whom are not "interested persons," as defined by the 1940 Act, of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"). The Independent Trustees receive compensation for their services as Trustees and attendance at meetings of the Board of Trustees. Officers of the Trust receive no compensation from the Trust for performing the duties of their offices.

The Trustees and executive officers of the Trust, their addresses and their principal occupations during the past five (5) years are as follows:

\* Harry A. Papp and Rosellen C. Papp, as partners of the Adviser, are considered "interested persons" of the Trust within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. Harry A. Papp and Rosellen C. Papp are husband and wife.

**Leadership Structure and Qualifications of Trustees**

The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Trust, including overseeing the Trust's relationship with the Adviser and the Trust's relationship with its other service providers in the operations of the Fund in accordance with the 1940 Act, other applicable federal and state laws, and the Declaration of Trust.

The Board met five times during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025. The Board generally meets in person, but may meet by telephone as permitted by the 1940 Act. In addition, the Trustees may meet in person or by telephone at special meetings or on an informal basis at other times. The Independent Trustees also meet at least quarterly without the presence of any representatives of management. The Independent Trustees have engaged independent legal counsel, and may from time to time engage consultants and other advisers to assist them in performing their oversight responsibilities.

The Board of Trustees is led by the Trust's President, Mr. Harry A. Papp. Mr. Papp is an "interested person" of the Trust because he is a Partner of the Adviser. Mr. Papp, with the assistance of the Trust's other officers, oversees the daily operations of the Fund, including monitoring the activities of all of the Fund's service providers.

The Board of Trustees has not appointed a lead Independent Trustee. It was determined by the Board that due to its size, the size of the fund complex and the relatively straightforward investment strategies utilized by the Fund, it is not necessary to appoint a lead Independent Trustee. The Independent Trustees believe that they have consistently worked well together and have demonstrated an ability to provide appropriate oversight to the operations of the Fund.

The Board reviews its structure regularly and believes that its leadership structure, including having a majority of Independent Trustees, is appropriate and in the best interests of the Trust, given its specific characteristics. The Board also believes its leadership structure facilitates the orderly and efficient flow of information to the Independent Trustees from Trust management.

*Board Committee*. The Board has established a Committee of Independent Trustees, the principal functions of which are: (i) to appoint, retain and oversee the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm; (ii) to meet separately with the independent registered public accounting firm and receive and consider a report concerning its conduct of the audit, including any comments or recommendations it deems appropriate; (iii) to select and nominate all persons to serve as Independent Trustees; and (iv) to act as the Trust's qualified legal compliance committee ("QLCC"), as defined in the regulations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Jean C. Bingham, Cynthia P. Hubiak and Jennifer S.E. Carlino are the members of the Committee of Independent Trustees and Ms. Hubiak serves as the Chair of the Committee. The Committee of Independent Trustees met once during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025.

*Qualifications of the Trustees.* The Committee of Independent Trustees reviews the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of potential candidates for nomination or election by the Board. In evaluating a candidate for nomination or election as a Trustee, the Committee takes into account the contribution that the candidate would be expected to make to the diverse mix of experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that the Committee believes contribute to the oversight of the Trust's affairs. The Board has concluded, based on each Trustee's experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination with the other Trustees, that each Trustee is qualified to serve on the Board in light of the Trust's business and structure. The Board believes that the Trustees' ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively with the Adviser, other service providers, legal counsel and the independent registered public accounting firm, and to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties as Trustees support this conclusion. In determining that a particular Trustee is and will continue to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board considers a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, is controlling.

*Risk Oversight*. The operation of a mutual fund, including its investment activities, generally involves a variety of risks. As part of its oversight of the Funds, the Board oversees risk through various regular board and committee activities. The Board, directly or through its Committee of Independent Trustees, reviews reports from, among others, the Adviser, the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer, the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm, and outside legal counsel, regarding risks faced by the Fund and the risk management programs of the Adviser and certain service providers. The actual day-to-day risk management with respect to the Fund resides with the Adviser and other service providers to the Fund. Although the risk management policies of the Adviser and the service providers are designed to be effective, there is no guarantee that they will anticipate or mitigate all risks. Not all risks that may affect the Fund can be identified, eliminated or mitigated and some risks simply may not be anticipated or may be beyond the control of the Board of Trustees or the Adviser or other service providers. The Independent Trustees regularly meet separately with the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer outside the presence of management, typically each quarter, to discuss issues related to compliance. Furthermore, the Board receives an annual written report from the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer regarding the operation of the compliance policies and procedures of the Trust and its primary service providers.

The Board also receives quarterly reports from the Adviser on the investments and securities trading of the Fund, including its investment performance, as well as reports regarding the valuation of the Fund's securities. In addition, in its annual review of the Fund's investment advisory agreement, the Board will review information provided by the Adviser relating to its operational capabilities, financial condition and resources. The Board also conducts an annual self-evaluation that includes a review of its effectiveness in overseeing, among other things, the number of funds in the Trust and the effectiveness of the Board's committee structure.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

The Portfolio Managers' management of other accounts may give rise to potential conflicts of interest in connection with their management of the Fund's investments, on the one hand, and the investments of the other accounts, on the other. A potential conflict of interest may arise where another account has the same investment objective as the Fund, whereby the Portfolio Managers could favor one account over another. Another potential conflict could include the Portfolio Managers' knowledge about the size, timing and possible market impact of Fund trades, whereby the Portfolio Managers could use this information to the advantage of other accounts and to the disadvantage of the Fund. However, the Adviser has established policies and procedures to ensure that allocation of purchase and sale of securities among all accounts it manages is in the best interests of its clients/accounts

Compensation

The Portfolio Managers are partners of the Adviser and their compensation varies with the general success of the Adviser as a firm. The Portfolio Managers each receive a fixed annual salary and may receive a discretionary bonus. The Portfolio Managers' compensation is not directly linked to any specific factors, such as the Fund's performance or asset levels, but these factors may nevertheless affect the performance and profitability of the Adviser and, as a result, indirectly affect the Portfolio Managers' compensation. Discretionary bonuses are determined by the Adviser's management and are not based on any predetermined criteria or formula, but may be based on, among other things, a Portfolio Manager's job performance, performance and growth of the Fund, and overall performance and profits of the Adviser.

Ownership of Fund Shares

The table below shows the amount of Fund shares beneficially owned by the Portfolio Managers as of November 30, 2025, stated as one of the following ranges: A = None; B = $1-$10,000; C = $10,001-$50,000; D = $50,001-$100,000; E = $100,001-$500,000; F = $500,001-$1,000,000; and G = over $1,000,000.

**PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS**

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser determines, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees of the Trust and in accordance with the Fund's investment objective, policies and restrictions, which securities are to be purchased and sold by the Fund and which brokers are eligible to execute the Fund's portfolio transactions.

Purchases and sales of portfolio securities that are debt securities usually are principal transactions in which portfolio securities are normally purchased directly from the issuer or from an underwriter or market maker for the securities. Purchases from underwriters of portfolio securities generally include a commission or concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter, and purchases from dealers serving as market makers may include the spread between the bid and asked prices. Transactions on stock exchanges involve the payment of negotiated brokerage commissions. Transactions in the over-the-counter market are generally principal transactions with dealers. With respect to the over-the-counter market, the Fund, where possible, will deal directly with the dealers who make a market in the securities involved except under those circumstances where better price and execution are available elsewhere. During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Fund paid brokerage commissions of $40, $50, and $89, respectively.

Allocation of transactions, including their frequency, to various brokers and dealers is determined by the Adviser in its best judgment and in a manner deemed fair and reasonable to shareholders. The primary consideration is prompt execution of orders in an effective manner such that the client's total cost or proceeds in each transaction are the most favorable under the circumstances. While the Adviser generally seeks competitive commissions, the Fund may not necessarily pay the lowest commission available on each brokerage transaction.

Subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, the Fund may execute portfolio transactions through any broker or dealer and pay brokerage commissions to a broker (i) which is an affiliated person of the Trust, or (ii) which is an affiliated person of such person, or (iii) an affiliated person of which is an affiliated person of the Trust, the Adviser or the Trust's principal underwriter.

**THE DISTRIBUTOR**

Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC (the "Distributor"), 225 Pictoria Drive, Suite 450, Cincinnati, Ohio 45246, is the exclusive agent for distribution of shares of the Fund. The Distributor is obligated to sell shares of the Fund on a best efforts basis only against purchase orders for the shares. Shares of the Fund are offered to the public on a continuous basis. The Distributor is compensated for its services to the Trust under a written agreement for such services.

The Distributor is an affiliate of Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC.

The Fund may compensate dealers, including the Distributor, based on the average balance of all accounts in the Fund for which the dealer is designated as the party responsible for the account. See "Distribution Plan" below.

Unless sooner terminated, the Distribution Agreement will continue in effect from year to year if such continuance is approved at least annually by (1) the Board of Trustees or (2) a vote of the majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares; provided that in either event continuance is also approved by a majority of the Independent Trustees, by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting such approval. The Distribution Agreement may be terminated at any time, on sixty days written notice, without payment of any penalty, by the Trust or by the Distributor. The Distribution Agreement automatically terminates in the event of its assignment, as defined by the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder.

**Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

The Trust selected Cohen & Company, Ltd., 1835 Market Street, Suite 310, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103, to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Trust and to audit the financial statements of the Fund for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2026.

**Legal Counsel**

Stradley, Ronon, Stevens & Young LLP, 2000 K Street, N.W., Suite 700, Washington, DC 20006, serves as legal counsel to the Trust and the Trust's Independent Trustees.

**DISTRIBUTION PLAN**

The Fund has adopted a plan of distribution with respect to its shares (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act which permits the Fund to pay for expenses incurred in connection with the distribution, promotion and servicing of its shares, including, but not limited to, the printing of prospectuses, statements of additional information and reports used for sales purposes, advertisements, expenses of preparation and printing of sales literature, promotion, marketing and sales expenses, and other distribution-related expenses, including any distribution fees paid to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries who have executed a distribution or service agreement with the Trust or the Distributor. The Plan allows the Fund to make payments to securities dealers and other financial organizations (including payments directly to the Adviser and the Distributor) for expenses related to the distribution and servicing of the Fund's shares. The Plan expressly limits payment of the distribution and servicing expenses listed above in any fiscal year to a maximum of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Unreimbursed expenses will not be carried over from year to year.

Agreements implementing the Plan, including agreements with dealers and other financial intermediaries where such dealers agree for a fee to act as agents for the sale of the Fund's shares, will be in writing and approved by the Board of Trustees. All payments made pursuant to the Plan are made in accordance with written agreements. Some financial intermediaries may charge fees in excess of the amounts available under the Plan, in which case the Adviser pays the additional fees.

The continuance of the Plan must be specifically approved at least annually by a vote of the Board of Trustees and by a vote of the Independent Trustees who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the Plan at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such continuance. The Plan may be terminated at any time by a vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees or by a vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. In the event the Plan is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Fund will not be required to make any payments for expenses incurred after the termination date. The Plan may not be amended to increase materially the amount to be spent under the Plan or in any other material way without approval by a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. All amendments to the Plan must be approved by a vote of the Board of Trustees and by a vote of the Independent Trustees.

In approving the Plan, the Trustees determined, in the exercise of their business judgment and in light of their fiduciary duties as Trustees, that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the Fund and its shareholders. The Board of Trustees believes that expenditure of the Fund's assets for distribution expenses under the Plan should assist in the growth of the Fund which will benefit the Fund and its shareholders through increased economies of scale, greater investment flexibility, greater portfolio diversification and less chance of disruption of planned investment strategies. The Plan will be renewed only if the Trustees make a similar determination for each subsequent year of the Plan. There can be no assurance that the benefits anticipated from the expenditure of the Fund's assets for distribution will be realized. While the Plan is in effect, all amounts spent by the Fund pursuant to the Plan and the purposes for which expenditures were made must be reported quarterly to the Board of Trustees for its review. In addition, the selection and nomination of those Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust are committed to the discretion of the Independent Trustees during such period.

By reason of his or her interest in the Adviser, Rosellen C. Papp, Harry A. Papp, Brian M. Riordan, Greg S. Smith may be deemed to have a financial interest in the operation of the Plan.

**GENERAL INFORMATION**

**Description of Shares**

The Trust is an unincorporated business trust that was organized under Ohio law on November 12, 2009. The Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the "Declaration of Trust") authorizes the Board of Trustees to divide shares into series, each series relating to a separate portfolio of investments, and to further divide shares of a series into separate classes. In the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Trust or an individual series or class, shareholders of a particular series or class would be entitled to receive the assets available for distribution belonging to such series or class. Shareholders of a series or class are entitled to participate equally in the

net distributable assets of the particular series or class involved in liquidation, based on the number of shares of the series or class that are held by each shareholder. If any assets, income, earnings, proceeds, funds or payments are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular series or class, the Trustees shall allocate them among any one or more series or classes as they, in their sole discretion, deem fair and equitable.

Shares of the Fund, when issued, are fully paid and non-assessable. Shares have no subscription, preemptive or conversion rights. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights. Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each full share held and a fractional vote for each fractional share held. Shareholders of all series and classes of the Trust, including the Fund, will vote together and not separately, except as otherwise required by law or when the Board of Trustees determines that the matter to be voted upon affects only the interests of the shareholders of a particular series or class. Rule 18f-2 under the 1940 Act provides, in substance, that any matter required to be submitted to the holders of the outstanding voting securities of an investment company such as the Trust shall not be deemed to have been effectively acted upon unless approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of each series or class affected by the matter. A series or class is affected by a matter unless it is clear that the interests of each series or class in the matter are substantially identical or that the matter does not affect any interest of the series or class. Under Rule 18f-2, the approval of an investment advisory agreement, a distribution plan or any change in a fundamental investment policy would be effectively acted upon with respect to a series or class only if approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of such series or class. However, the Rule also provides that the ratification of the appointment of independent accountants and the election of Trustees may be effectively acted upon by shareholders of the Trust voting together, without regard to a particular series or class.

**Trustee Liability**

The Declaration of Trust provides that the Trustees of the Trust will not be liable in any event in connection with the affairs of the Trust, except as such liability may arise from his or her own bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of their duties to the Trust and its holders of beneficial interest. It also provides that all third parties shall look solely to the Trust's property for satisfaction of claims arising in connection with the affairs of the Trust. With the exceptions stated, the Declaration of Trust provides that a Trustee or officer is entitled to be indemnified against all liability in connection with the affairs of the Trust.

**Code of Ethics**

The Trust, the Adviser and the Distributor have each adopted a Code of Ethics. These Codes of Ethics permit personnel subject to the Codes of Ethics to invest in securities, including securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund, but prohibit such personnel from engaging in personal investment activities which compete with or attempt to take advantage of the Fund's planned portfolio transactions. Each of these parties monitors compliance with its Code of Ethics.

**Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures**

The Trust and the Adviser have adopted Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures that describe how the Fund intends to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities. The Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures of the Trust and the Adviser are attached to this SAI as Appendix A and Appendix B, respectively. No later than August 31<sup>st</sup> of each year, information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the prior twelve-month period ended June 30<sup>th</sup> is available without charge upon request by calling 1-877-370-7277, or on the SEC's website at <u>www.sec.gov</u>.

\* Aggregate of multiple client accounts held for the sole benefit of clients.

**Portfolio Holdings Disclosure Policy**

The Board of Trustees of the Trust has adopted a policy to govern the circumstances under which disclosure regarding securities held by the Fund ("Portfolio Securities"), and disclosure of purchases and sales of such securities, may be made to shareholders of the Fund or other persons. The Trust's Chief Compliance Officer is responsible for monitoring the use and disclosure of information relating to Portfolio Securities. Although no material conflicts of interest are believed to exist that could disadvantage the Fund or its shareholders, various safeguards have been implemented to protect the Fund and its shareholders from conflicts of interest, including: the adoption of Codes of Ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act designed to prevent fraudulent, deceptive or manipulative acts by officers and employees of the Trust, the Adviser and the Distributor in connection with their personal securities transactions; the adoption by the Adviser and the Distributor of insider trading policies and procedures designed to prevent their employees' misuse of material non-public information; and the adoption by the Trust of a Code of Ethics for Officers that requires the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Trust to report to the Board any affiliations or other relationships that could potentially create a conflict of interest with the Fund.

Each fiscal quarter, the Fund will file with the SEC a complete schedule of its monthly portfolio holdings on Form N-PORT (Form N-Q's successor form). The Fund's holdings as of the end of the third month of every fiscal quarter, as reported on Form N-PORT, will be publicly available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov within 60 days of the end of the fiscal quarter upon filing. Except for such reports and as otherwise expressly permitted by the Trust's policy, shareholders and other persons may not be provided with information regarding Portfolio Securities held, purchased or sold by the Fund.

● Information regarding Portfolio Securities as of the end of the most recent month, and other information regarding the investment activities of the Fund during such month, may be disclosed to rating and ranking organizations for use in connection with their rating or ranking of the Fund, but only if such information is at least 30 days old.

● Information regarding the general market exposure of the Fund may be disclosed, provided that such information is also disclosed on the Trust's website and the information does not identify specific Portfolio Securities.

● Information regarding Portfolio Securities as of the end of the most recent calendar quarter may be disclosed to any other person or organization at the request of such person or organization, but only if such information is at least 30 days old.

● The Trust's Chief Compliance Officer may approve the disclosure of holdings of or transactions in Portfolio Securities that is made on the same basis to all shareholders of the Fund.

● The Fund's policy relating to disclosure of holdings of Portfolio Securities does not prohibit disclosure of information to the Adviser or to other Trust service providers, including the Trust's administrator, distributor, custodian, legal counsel, accountants and printers/typesetters, or to brokers and dealers through which the Fund purchases and sells Portfolio Securities. Below is a table that lists each service provider that may receive non-public portfolio information along with information regarding the frequency of access to, and limitations on use of, portfolio information.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Type of Service Provider** | **Typical Frequency of Access to**<br> **Portfolio Information** | **Restrictions on Use** |
| Adviser | Daily | Contractual and Ethical |
| Administrator and Distributor | Daily | Contractual and Ethical |
| Custodian | Daily | Ethical |
| Accountants | During annual audit | Ethical |
| Legal counsel | Regulatory filings, board meetings, and if a legal issue regarding the portfolio requires counsel's review | Ethical |
| Printers/Typesetters | As Regulatory filings come due Form N-PORT | No formal restrictions in place – typesetter/printer would not receive portfolio information until at least 30 days old |
| Broker/dealers through which the Fund purchases and sells portfolio securities | Daily access to the relevant purchase and/or sale – no broker/dealer has access to the Fund's entire portfolio | Contractual and Ethical |

---

Such disclosures may be made without approval of the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer because the Board of Trustees has determined that the Fund and its shareholders are adequately protected by the restrictions on use in those instances listed above.

● The Trust's Chief Compliance Officer may approve other arrangements under which information relating to Portfolio Securities held by the Fund, or purchased or sold by the Fund (other than information contained in Official Reports), may be disclosed. The Chief Compliance Officer shall approve such an arrangement only if he or she concludes (based on a consideration of the information to be disclosed, the timing of the disclosure, the intended use of the information and other relevant factors) that the arrangement is reasonably necessary to aid in conducting the ongoing business of the Trust and is unlikely to affect adversely the Fund or any shareholder of the Fund. The Chief Compliance Officer must inform the Board of Trustees of any such arrangements that are approved by the Chief Compliance Officer, and the rationale supporting approval, at the next regular quarterly meeting of the Board of Trustees following such approval.

● Neither the Adviser nor the Trust (or any affiliated person, employee, officer, trustee or director of the Adviser or the Trust) may receive any direct or indirect compensation in consideration of the disclosure of information relating to Portfolio Securities held, purchased or sold by the Fund.

**ADDITIONAL TAX INFORMATION**

The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, or "RIC," under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Qualification generally will relieve the Fund of liability for federal income taxes to the extent its net investment income and net realized capital gains are distributed to shareholders in accordance with the Code. Depending on the extent of the Fund's activities in states and localities in which its offices are maintained, in which its agents or independent contractors are located, or in which it is otherwise deemed to be conducting business, the Fund may be subject to the tax laws of individual states or localities. If for any taxable year the Fund does not qualify for the special tax treatment afforded to RICs, all of its taxable income will be subject to federal tax at the corporate income tax rate (without any deduction for distributions to its shareholders). In such event, dividend distributions would be taxable to shareholders to the extent of the Fund's earnings and profits, and, subject to certain limitations under the Code, would be eligible for the dividends-received deduction for corporations and reduced tax rates applicable to "Qualified Dividends" for individuals.

Among the requirements to qualify as a RIC, the Fund must distribute annually no less than the sum of 90% of its "investment company taxable income" and 90% of its net tax-exempt income. In addition to this distribution requirement, the Fund must (1) derive at least 90% of its gross income in each taxable year from dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currency, certain other income (including but not limited to gains from options, futures and forward contracts) derived with respect to its business of investing in stock, securities or currencies, or from net income derived from an interest in a qualified publicly traded partnership ("QPTP"); and (2) diversify its holdings so that at the end of each quarter of its taxable year the following two conditions are met: (a) at least 50% of the value of the Fund's total assets is represented by cash, U.S. Government securities, securities of other RICs and other securities (for this purpose such other securities will qualify only if the Fund's investment is limited in respect to any issuer to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets and not greater than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer) and (b) not more than 25% of the value of the Fund's total assets is invested in the securities (other than U.S. Government securities or securities of other RICs) of any one issuer, the securities of any two or more issuers that the Fund controls and which are determined to be engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses or related trades or businesses, or the securities of one or more qualified QPTPs. For these purposes, a qualified QPTP is generally a publicly traded partnership other than one where at least 90% of its gross income is gross income that would otherwise be qualifying gross income for a RIC.

The Fund's net realized capital gains will be distributed only after reducing such gains by the amount of any available capital loss carryforwards. There is no limitation on the number of years to which capital losses may be carried forward.

A federal excise tax at the rate of 4% will be imposed on the excess, if any, of the Fund's "required distribution" over actual distributions in any calendar year. Generally, the "required distribution" is 98% of the Fund's ordinary income for the calendar year plus 98.2% of its net capital gains recognized during the one year period ending on October 31 of that calendar year plus undistributed amounts from prior years. The Fund intends to make distributions sufficient to avoid imposition of the excise tax.

If for any taxable year the Fund does not qualify as a regulated investment company, all of its taxable income (including its net capital gain) would be subject to tax at the corporate income tax rate without any deduction for dividends paid to shareholders, and the dividends would be taxable to the shareholders as ordinary income (or possibly as qualified dividend income) to the extent of the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits. Failure to qualify as a regulated investment company would thus have a negative impact on the Fund's income and performance. Subject to savings provisions for certain failures, which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, it is possible that the Fund will not qualify as a regulated investment company in any given tax year. Even if such savings provisions apply, the Fund may be subject to a monetary sanction of $50,000 or more.

For investors that hold their Fund shares in a taxable account, a high portfolio turnover rate may result in higher taxes. This is because a fund with a high turnover rate is likely to accelerate the recognition of capital gains and more of such gains are likely to be taxable as short-term rather than long-term capital gains in contrast to a comparable fund with a low turnover rate. Any such higher taxes would reduce the Fund's after-tax performance.

The Fund anticipates distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and net capital gain for each taxable year. Distributions by the Fund will be treated in the manner described below regardless of whether such distributions are paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the Fund (or of another fund). The Fund will send you information annually as to the federal income tax consequences of distributions made (or deemed made) during the year. The Fund receives ordinary income generally in the form of dividends and/or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of the Fund, constitutes the Fund's net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment income generally are taxable as ordinary income to the extent of the Fund's earnings and profits. The Fund may derive capital gain and loss in connection with sales or other dispositions of its portfolio securities. Distributions derived from the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss will be taxable to you as ordinary income. Distributions paid from the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss will be taxable to you as long-term capital gain, regardless of how long you have held your shares in the Fund. Any net short-term or long-term capital gain realized by the Fund (net of any capital loss carryovers) generally will be distributed once each year and may be distributed more frequently, if necessary, in order to reduce or eliminate federal excise or income taxes on the Fund.

Distributions by the Fund that are not paid from earnings and profits will be treated as a return of capital in reduction of the shareholder's tax basis in his shares (but not below zero); any excess will be treated as gain from the sale of his shares. Thus, the portion of a distribution that constitutes a return of capital will decrease the shareholder's tax basis in his Fund shares (but not below zero), and will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.

Distributions of investment income reported by the Fund as "qualified dividend income" ("Qualified Dividends") and received by an individual will be taxed at the rates applicable to long-term capital gains. In order for some portion of the dividends received by a Fund shareholder to be Qualified Dividends, the Fund must meet holding period and other requirements with respect to some portion of the dividend paying stocks in its portfolio and the shareholder must meet

holding period and other requirements with respect to the Fund's shares. A dividend will not be treated as a Qualified Dividend (at either the Fund or shareholder level) (1) if the dividend is received with respect to any share of stock held for fewer than 61 days during the 121-day period beginning on the date which is 60 days before the date on which such share becomes ex-dividend with respect to such dividend (or, in the case of certain preferred stock, 91 days during the 181-day period beginning 90 days before such date), (2) to the extent that the recipient is under an obligation (whether pursuant to a short sale or otherwise) to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property, (3) if the recipient elects to have the dividend income treated as investment income for purposes of the limitation on deductibility of investment interest, or (4) if the dividend is received from a foreign corporation that is (a) not eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States (with the exception of dividends paid on stock of such a foreign corporation readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States) or (b) treated as a passive foreign investment company.

It is anticipated that amounts distributed by the Fund that are attributable to certain dividends received from domestic corporations will qualify for the 50% dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders. A corporate shareholder's dividends-received deduction will be disallowed unless it holds shares in the Fund, and the Fund holds shares in the dividend-paying corporation, at least 46 days during the 91-day period beginning 45 days before the date on which the shareholder or the Fund, as the case may be, becomes entitled to receive the dividend. In determining the holding period for this purpose, any period during which the recipient's risk of loss is offset by means of options, short sales or similar transactions is not counted. Furthermore, the dividends-received deduction will be disallowed to the extent a corporate shareholder's investment in shares of the Fund, or the Fund's investment in the shares of the dividend-paying corporation, is financed with indebtedness. Additionally, a corporate shareholder would not be eligible to claim the dividends-received deduction to the extent it or the Fund is obligated (e.g., pursuant to a short sale) to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property.

Any loss arising from the sale or redemption of shares of the Fund held for six months or less will be treated for federal income tax purposes as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any amount of capital gain dividends received by the shareholder with respect to such Fund shares. For purposes of determining whether shares of the Fund have been held for six months or less, a shareholder's holding period is suspended for any periods during which the shareholder's risk of loss is diminished as a result of holding one or more other positions in substantially similar or related property or through certain options or short sales.

Certain U.S. shareholders, including individuals and estates and trusts, will be subject to an additional 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their "net investment income," which should include dividends from the Fund and net gains from their disposition of shares of the Fund. U.S. shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the implications of this additional tax resulting from an investment in the Fund.

Under Treasury regulations, if a shareholder recognizes a loss with respect to the Fund's shares of $2 million or more for an individual shareholder or $10 million or more for a corporate shareholder (or certain greater amounts over a combination of years), the shareholder must file

with the IRS a disclosure statement on Form 8886. The fact that a loss is reportable under these regulations does not affect the legal determination of whether the taxpayer's treatment of the loss is proper. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors to determine the applicability of these regulations in light of their individual circumstances.

Non-U.S. investors may be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a 30% or lower treaty rate and U.S. estate tax and are subject to special U.S. tax certification requirements to avoid backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits. Exemptions from U.S. withholding tax are provided for certain capital gain dividends paid by a Fund from net long-term capital gains, interest-related dividends and short-term capital gain dividends, if such amounts are reported by a Fund. However, notwithstanding such exemptions from U.S. withholding at the source, any such dividends and distributions of income and capital gains will be subject to backup withholding at a rate of 24% if you fail to properly certify that you are not a U.S. person.

Information set forth in the Prospectus and this SAI which relates to federal taxation is only a summary of some of the important federal tax considerations generally affecting shareholders. No attempt has been made to present a detailed explanation of the federal income tax treatment of the Fund or its shareholders and this description is not intended as a substitute for federal tax planning. This discussion does not address the state, local or foreign tax consequences of an investment in the Fund. In addition, the discussion does not address the state, local or foreign tax consequences of an investment in the Fund. Accordingly, potential shareholders of the Fund are urged to consult their tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax situation. The tax discussion in the Prospectus and this SAI is based on tax laws and regulations which are in effect on the date of the Prospectus and this SAI; these laws and regulations may be changed by legislative or administrative action.

**APPENDIX A**

**PAPP INVESTMENT TRUST**

**Policies and procedures for voting proxies**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Purpose</u>. The purpose of this memorandum is to describe the policies and procedures for voting proxies received from issuers whose securities are held by each series (individually, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") of Papp Investment Trust (the "Trust"). These policies and procedures incorporate the proxy policies and procedures adopted by L. Roy Papp & Associates, LLP (the "Adviser"), the investment adviser to the Trust. The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust has delegated proxy voting authority to the Adviser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Definitions</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Proxy</u>. A proxy permits a shareholder to vote without being present at annual or special meetings. A proxy is the form whereby a person who is eligible to vote on corporate matters transmits written instructions for voting or transfers the right to vote to another person in place of the eligible voter. Proxies are generally solicited by management, but may be solicited by dissident shareholders opposed to management's policies or strategies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Proxy Manager</u>. Proxy manager, as used herein, refers to the individual, individuals or committee of individuals appointed by the Adviser as being responsible for supervising and implementing these Policies and Procedures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Policy for Voting Proxies Related to Exchange Traded Funds and other Investment Companies</u>. Pursuant to Section 12(d)(1)(E)(iii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, all proxies from Exchange Traded Funds ("ETFs") or other Investment Companies voted by a Fund, registered in the name of the Fund, will have the following voting instructions typed on the proxy form: "Vote these shares in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders of such shares. Each Fund is a "registered investment company."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Policy for Voting Proxies Related to Other Portfolio Securities</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Fiduciary Considerations</u>. Proxies with respect to securities other than ETFs or other investment companies are voted solely in the best interests of the shareholders of the Fund. Any conflict of interest must be resolved in the way that will most benefit the shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Management Recommendations</u>. Since the quality and depth of management is a primary factor considered when investing in a company, the recommendation of management on any issue should be given substantial weight. The vote with respect to most issues presented in proxy statements should be cast in accordance with the position of the company's management on routine matters, unless it is determined that supporting management's position would adversely affect the investment merits of owning the stock. However, each issue should be considered on its own merits, and the position of the company's management should not be supported in any situation where it is found not to be in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Conflicts of Interest</u>. The Funds and the Adviser recognize that under certain circumstances the Adviser may have a conflict of interest in voting proxies on behalf of a Fund. Such circumstances may include, but are not limited to, situations where the Adviser or one or more of its affiliates, including officers, directors or employees, has or is seeking a client relationship with the issuer of the security that is the subject of the proxy vote. The Adviser shall periodically inform its employees that they are under an obligation to be aware of the potential for conflicts of interest on the part of the Adviser with respect to voting proxies on behalf of a Fund, both as a result of the employee's personal relationships and due to circumstances that may arise during the conduct of the Adviser's business, and to bring conflicts of interest of which they become aware to the attention of the proxy manager. With respect to securities other than ETFs or other investment companies, the Adviser shall not vote proxies relating to such issuers on behalf of a Fund until it has determined that the conflict of interest is not material or a method of resolving such conflict of interest has been determined in the manner described below. A conflict of interest will be considered material to the extent that it is determined that such conflict has the potential to influence the Adviser's decision-making in voting a proxy. Materiality determinations will be based upon an assessment of the particular facts and circumstances. If the proxy manager determines that a conflict of interest is not material, the Adviser may vote proxies notwithstanding the existence of a conflict. If the conflict of interest is determined to be material, either (i) the conflict shall be disclosed to the Committee of Independent Trustees of the Trust and the Adviser shall follow the instructions of the Committee of Independent Trustees or (ii) the Adviser shall vote the issue in question based upon the recommendation of an independent third party under a contractual arrangement approved by the Committee of Independent Trustees. The proxy manager shall document the manner in which proxies involving a material conflict of interest have been voted as well as the basis for any determination that the Adviser does not have a material conflict of interest and report them to the Committee of Independent Trustees on a quarterly basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Routine Proposals</u>. Proxies for routine proposals (such as uncontested election of directors, selection of independent public accountants, stock splits and increases in capital stock) with respect to securities other than ETFs or other investment companies should generally be voted in favor of management absent a reason to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Proxy Manager Approval</u>. Votes on non-routine matters and votes against a management's recommendations with respect to securities other than ETFs or other investment companies are subject to approval by the proxy manager.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Proxy Voting Procedures</u>. Proxy voting will be conducted in compliance with the policies and practices described in this memorandum and is subject to the proxy manager's supervision. A reasonable effort should be made to obtain proxy material and to vote in a timely fashion. Records should be maintained regarding the voting of proxies under these Policies and Procedures. The policies and procedures are reviewed annually by the Board to ensure that they are reasonably designed to ensure that proxies are voted in the best interests of shareholder of the Fund.

**Policy**

**Proxy Voting** 

**Introduction**

Rule 206(4)-6 under the Advisers Act requires every investment adviser to adopt and implement written policies and procedures, reasonably designed to ensure that the adviser votes proxies in the best interest of its clients and address how the adviser mitigates material conflicts of interest that may arise between the adviser and its clients. The Rule further requires the adviser to provide a concise summary of the adviser's proxy voting process and offer to provide copies of the complete proxy voting policy and procedures to clients upon request. Lastly, the Rule requires that the adviser disclose to clients how they may obtain information on how the adviser voted their proxies and maintain certain records related to proxy voting.

**Policy**

LRP does not vote proxies for most of its clients. Clients are informed of this policy and all proxy materials are forwarded directly to the clients. In the instances when LRP is responsible for voting proxies, it is the policy of LRP to vote client proxies in the best interest of shareholders. To that end, LRP will vote in a way that it believes, consistent with its fiduciary duty, will cause the value of the issue to increase the most or decline the least. Consideration will be given to both the short and long term implications of the proposal to be voted on when considering the optimal vote.

LRP utilizes general guidelines to vote proxies (See Attachment A). Any general or specific proxy voting guidelines or instructions provided by an advisory client or its designated agent in writing will supersede LRP's voting guidelines. Clients may wish to have their proxies voted by an independent third party or other named fiduciary or agent, at the client's cost.

**Procedures for Identification and Voting of Proxies**

These proxy voting procedures are designed to enable LRP to resolve material conflicts of interest with clients before voting their proxies in what LRP believes, based on its good faith judgment, is in the best interest of shareholders. LRP will only vote proxies upon negotiation with clients. For those clients that LRP agrees to vote proxies for, the following procedures will apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. LRP shall maintain a list of all clients for which it votes proxies. The list will be maintained either in hard copy or electronically.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. LRP shall work with the client and their custodian to ensure that LRP is the designated party to receive proxy voting materials from companies or intermediaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. LRP shall receive all proxy voting materials and will ensure that proxies are voted and submitted in a timely manner.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. The CCO will review the list of clients and compare the record date of the proxies with a security holdings list for the security or company soliciting the proxy vote.

For any client who has provided specific voting instructions, the Research Director shall vote that client's proxy in accordance with the client's written instructions.

Proxies of clients who have selected a third party to vote proxies, and whose proxies were received by LRP, shall be forwarded to the designee for voting and submission.

Proxies received after the termination date of a client relationship will not be voted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. The Research Director will reasonably try to assess any material conflicts between LRP's interests and those of its clients with respect to proxy voting by considering the situations identified in the *Conflicts of Interest* section of this document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. So long as there are no material conflicts of interest identified, LRP will vote proxies according to the policy set forth above. LRP may also elect to abstain from voting if it deems such abstinence in its clients' best interests. The rationale for "abstain" votes will be documented and the documentation will be maintained in the permanent file.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. LRP is not required to vote every client proxy and such should not necessarily be construed as a violation of LRP's fiduciary obligations. LRP shall at no time ignore or neglect its proxy voting responsibilities. However, there may be times when refraining from voting is in the client's best interest, such as when an adviser's analysis of a particular client proxy reveals that the cost of voting the proxy may exceed the expected benefit to the client (i.e., casting a vote on a foreign security may require that the adviser engage a translator or travel to a foreign country to vote in person) or where LRP determines that casting a vote would not reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the value of the investment. Such position also complies with Interpretive Bulletin 94-2 of the DOL.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. The CCO shall be responsible for conducting the proxy voting cost-benefit analysis in those certain situations in which LRP believes it may be in its clients' best interest for LRP not to vote a particular proxy. The CCO shall maintain documentation of any cost/benefit analysis with respect to client proxies that were <u>not</u> voted by LRP.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. Due to the size and nature of LRP's operations and LRP's limited affiliations in the securities industry, LRP does not expect that material conflicts of interest will arise between LRP and a Discretionary Account over proxy voting.

LRP recognizes, however, that such conflicts may arise from time to time, such as, for example, when LRP or one of its affiliates has a business arrangement that could be affected by the outcome of a proxy vote or has a personal or business relationship with a person seeking appointment or re-appointment as a director of a company. Under no circumstances will LRP place its own interests ahead of the interests of its Discretionary Accounts in voting proxies.

If the Research Director detects a conflict of interest, LRP will escalate the matter to a committee consisting of LRP's Managing Partner, Research Director and CCO and vote the matter, as a majority of the committee shall determine, in the best interest of all affected LRP clients and unaffected by the conflict. LRP will preserve, as a book and record of the firm, all materials reflecting the reasons and bases upon which the committee determined to vote proxies referred for its attention.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. The Research Director shall collect and submit the proxy votes in a timely manner.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. The CCO will report any attempts by LRP's personnel or outside parties to influence the voting of client proxies in a manner that is inconsistent with LRP's Policy. Such report shall be made to LRP's Managing Partner, or if the Managing Partner is the person attempting to influence the voting, then to LRP's outside counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. All proxy votes will be recorded and the following information will be maintained:

● The name of the issuer of the portfolio security;

● The exchange ticker symbol of the portfolio security;

● The Council on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures ("CUSIP") number for the portfolio security;

● The shareholder meeting date;

● The number of shares LRP is voting on firm-wide;

● A brief identification of the matter voted on;

● Whether the matter was proposed by the issuer or by a security holder;

● Whether or not LRP cast its vote on the matter;

● How LRP cast its vote (e.g., for or against proposal, or abstain; for or withhold regarding election of directors);

● Whether LRP cast its vote with or against management; and

● Whether any client requested an alternative vote of its proxy.

In the event that LRP votes the same proxy in two directions, it shall maintain documentation to support its voting (this may occur if a client requires LRP to vote a certain way on an issue, while LRP deems it beneficial to vote in the opposite direction for its other clients) in the permanent file.

**Conflicts of Interest**

Although LRP has not currently identified any material conflicts of interest that would affect its proxy voting decisions, it is aware of the following potential conflicts that could exist in the future:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***■***  ***<u>Conflict</u>:*** LRP retains an institutional client, or is in the process of retaining an institutional client that is affiliated with an issuer that is held in LRP's client portfolios. For example, hypothetically LRP may be retained to manage XYZ's pension fund. XYZ is a public company and LRP client accounts hold shares of XYZ. This type of relationship may influence LRP to vote with management on proxies to gain favor with management. Such favor may influence XYZ's decision to continue its advisory relationship with LRP.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***■***  ***<u>Conflict</u>:*** LRP retains a client, or is in the process of retaining a client that is an officer or director of an issuer that is held in LRP's client portfolios. The similar conflicts of interest exist in this relationship as discussed above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***■***  ***<u>Conflict</u>:*** LRP's employees maintain a personal and/or business relationship (not an advisory relationship) with issuers or individuals that serve as officers or directors of issuers. For example, the spouse of an LRP employee may be a high-level executive of an issuer that is held in LRP's client portfolios. The spouse could attempt to influence LRP to vote in favor of management.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***■***  ***<u>Conflict</u>:*** LRP or an employee(s) personally owns a significant number of an issuer's securities that are also held in LRP's client portfolios. For any number of reasons, an employee(s) may seek to vote proxies in a different direction for his/her personal holdings than would otherwise be warranted by the proxy voting policy. The employee(s) could oppose voting the proxies according to the policy and successfully influence LRP to vote proxies in contradiction to the policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***■***  ***<u>Conflict</u>:*** LRP or its affiliate has a financial interest in the outcome of a vote, such as when LRP receives distribution fees (i.e., Rule 12b-1 fees) from mutual funds that are maintained in client accounts and the proxy relates to an increase in 12b-1 fees.

LRP realizes that due to the difficulty of predicting and identifying all material conflicts, it must rely on its employees to notify the Research Director of any material conflict that may impair LRP's ability to vote proxies in an objective manner.

**Recordkeeping** 

LRP must maintain the documentation described in the following section for a period of not less than five (5) years, the first two (2) years at its principal place of business. The CCO will be responsible for the following procedures and for ensuring that the required documentation is retained.

*<u>Client request to review proxy votes</u>*:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Any request, whether written (including e-mail) or oral, received by any employee of LRP, must be promptly reported to the CCO. All written requests must be retained in the permanent file.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ The CCO will record the identity of the client, the date of the request, and the disposition (e.g., provided a written or oral response to client's request, referred to third party, not a proxy voting client, other dispositions, etc.) in a suitable place.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ In order to facilitate the management of proxy voting record keeping process, and to facilitate dissemination of such proxy voting records to clients, the CCO will distribute to any client requesting proxy voting information the complete proxy voting record of LRP for the period requested.

Any report disseminated to a client(s) will contain the following legend:

*"This report contains the full proxy voting record of LRP. If securities of a particular issuer were held in your account on the date of the shareholder meeting indicated, your proxy was voted in the direction indicated (absent your expressed written direction otherwise)."*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Furnish the information requested, free of charge, to the client within a reasonable time period (within 10 business days). Maintain a copy of the written record provided in response to client's written (including e-mail) or oral request. A copy of the written response should be attached and maintained with the client's written request, if applicable and maintained in the permanent file.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Clients are permitted to request the proxy voting record for the 5 year period prior to their request.

*<u>Proxy statements received regarding client securities</u>:*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Upon receipt of a proxy, copy or print a sample of the proxy statement or card and maintain the copy in a central file along with a sample of the proxy solicitation instructions.

**Note:** LRP is permitted to rely on proxy statements filed on the SEC's EDGAR system instead of keeping its own copies.

*<u>Proxy voting records</u>:*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ LRP Proxy Voting Record.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Documentation or notes or any communications received from third parties, other industry analysts, third party service providers, company's management discussions, etc. that were material in the basis for the decision.

**Disclosure**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ LRP will ensure that Part 2A of Form ADV is updated as necessary to reflect: (i) all material changes to the Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures; and (ii) regulatory requirements.

**Proxy Solicitation**

As a matter of practice, it is LRP's policy to not reveal or disclose to any client how LRP may have voted (or intends to vote) on a particular proxy until after such proxies have been counted at a shareholder's meeting. LRP will never disclose such information to unrelated third parties.

**Attachment A**

Proxy Voting Guidelines

The goal of the guidelines is to assist the Research Director to vote proxies in a manner that is in the best interests of clients as shareholders of the companies in which they invest. The guidelines are not exhaustive and do not include all potential voting issues. There may be instances when proxies are not voted in strict adherence to these guidelines because proxy issuers and circumstances of individual companies are so varied. Accordingly, proxy-voting decisions may be handled on a case-by-case basis. However, if the Research Director believes that a company's management and board have interests sufficiently aligned with shareholders' interest of seeking higher security value, the Research Director will generally vote in favor of management.

A. Social Issues

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Equal Employment Opportunity

Papp typically will vote for equal employment opportunity proposals (but against resolutions requiring reports beyond standard practice).

<u>Item 29</u>. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with Registrant

No person is directly or indirectly controlled by or under common control with the Registrant.

<u>Item 30</u>. Indemnification

Article VI of the Registrant's Agreement and Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification of officers and Trustees as follows:

"<u>Section 6.4 Indemnification of Trustees, Officers, etc.</u>

Subject to and except as otherwise provided in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1940 Act, the Trust shall indemnify each of its Trustees and officers, including persons who serve at the Trust's request as directors, officers or trustees of another organization in which the Trust has any interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise (hereinafter referred to as a "Covered Person") against all liabilities, including but not limited to amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and expenses, including reasonable accountants' and counsel fees, incurred by any Covered Person in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or legislative body, in which such Covered Person may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise or with which such person may be or may have been threatened, while in office or thereafter, by reason of being or having been such a Trustee or officer, director or trustee, and except that no Covered Person shall be indemnified against any liability to the Trust or its Shareholders to which such Covered Person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person's office.

<u>Section 6.5 Advances of Expenses</u>. The Trust shall advance attorneys' fees or other expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defending a proceeding to the full extent permitted by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the 1940 Act, and Ohio Revised Code Chapter 1707, as amended. In the event any of these laws conflict with Ohio Revised Code Section 1701.13(E), as amended, these laws, and not Ohio Revised Code Section 1701.13(E), shall govern.

<u>Section 6.6 Indemnification Not Exclusive, etc.</u> The right of indemnification provided by this Article VI shall not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any such Covered Person may be entitled. As used in this Article VI, "Covered Person" shall include such person's heirs, executors and administrators. Nothing contained in this article shall affect any rights to indemnification to which personnel of the Trust, other than Trustees and officers, and other persons may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law, nor the power of the Trust to purchase and maintain liability insurance on behalf of any such person."

The Investment Advisory Agreement with L. Roy Papp & Associates, LLP (the "Adviser") provides that the Adviser shall not be liable for any mistake of judgment or in any event whatsoever, except for lack of good faith, provided that nothing therein shall be deemed to protect, or purport to protect, the Adviser against any liability to the Fund or to its security holders to which the Adviser would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties thereunder, or by reason of the Adviser's reckless disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder.

The Distribution Agreement with Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC (the "Distributor") provides that the Distributor and each person who has been, is, or may hereafter be a director, officer, employee, shareholder and control person of the Distributor shall not be liable for any loss, damage or expense (including the reasonable costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with the matters to which the Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from the failure of Distributor or any such other person to comply with applicable law or the terms of the Agreement, or from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence, including clerical errors and mechanical failures, on the part of any of such persons in the performance of Distributor's duties or from the reckless disregard by any of such persons of Distributor's obligations and duties under the Agreement.

The Distribution Agreement with the Distributor further also provides that the Distributor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust and each person who has been, is, or may hereafter be a Trustee, officer, employee, shareholder or control person of the Trust against any loss, damage or expense (including the reasonable costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with any claim or in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which any of them may be a party, which arises out of or is alleged to arise out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary to make the statements not misleading, on the part of Distributor or any agent or employee of Distributor or any other person for whose acts Distributor is responsible, unless such statement or omission was made in reliance upon written information furnished by the Trust; (ii) Distributor's failure to exercise reasonable care and diligence with respect to its services, if any, rendered in connection with investment, reinvestment, automatic withdrawal and other plans for Shares; and (iii) Distributor's failure to comply with applicable laws and the Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA").

The Registrant maintains a standard mutual fund and investment advisory professional and directors and officers liability policy. The policy provides coverage to the Registrant and its Trustees and officers. Coverage under the policy will include losses by reason of any act, error, omission, misstatement, misleading statement, neglect or breach of duty.

The directors and officers of the Adviser have not been engaged as directors, officers, employees, partners, or trustees within the last two fiscal years in any other business ventures of a substantial nature (other than those resulting from their roles as officers and directors of the Adviser).
