### Alabama Tax-Free Income Series

#### INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The Fund seeks to provide a high and stable level of income exempt from federal and Alabama personal income taxes derived from Alabama municipal securities without incurring undue risk to principal.

#### FEES AND EXPENSES
This 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 table and examples below.**

**Shareholder fees** (fees paid directly from your investment)

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Purchases |  |
|  Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) |  |
|  Maximum Sales Charge (Load) |  |
|  Redemption Fee |  |
|  Redemption Fee if by wire transfer | $15.00 |
|  Exchange Fee |  |
|  Maximum Account Fee |  |

---

#### Annual fund operating expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  Management Fees | 0.50% |
|  Distribution (12b-1) Fees | 0.00% |
|  Other Expenses | 0.36% |
|  Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses\* | 0.86% |

---

\* For the most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the total Annual Fund Operating Expenses were 0.70% after voluntary fee waivers and reductions by the Adviser and Custodian. The Adviser and Custodian have agreed not to seek recovery of these waivers and reductions.

#### Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example 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 these periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **1 year** | **3 years** | **5 years** | **10 years** |
| $88 | $274 | $477 | $1061 |

---

You would pay the same expenses assuming no redemption.

#### Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transactions 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 the annual Fund operating expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 20.09% of the average value of its portfolio.

#### PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE

#### Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide a steady flow of tax-exempt income derived from Alabama municipal securities of investment grade quality (those rated BBB or Baa or higher by U.S. nationally recognized rating services at the time of purchase) with a weighted average nominal maturity normally greater than 10 years. The interest earned on these securities, in the opinion of bond counsel for the issuer, is exempt from federal and state taxation in the state of Alabama. The Fund has a fundamental policy that during periods of normal market conditions either (1) the Fund's assets will be invested so that at least 80% of the income will be exempt from Federal and Alabama income taxes or (2) the Fund will have at least 80% of its net assets invested in securities exempt from Federal and Alabama income taxes. The weighted average nominal maturity of the Fund's portfolio will normally be 10 years or more. Maintaining a steady stream of tax-exempt income is a primary objective of the Fund. The investment adviser selects securities that it believes will provide the best balance between risk and return and typically uses a buy and hold strategy. Securities in the Fund's portfolio are typically held for income purposes, rather than trading them for capital gains. However, the investment adviser may sell a security at any time if it believes it could help the Fund meet its goals.

Principal Risks of Investing

Any investment in the Fund is subject to investment risks. **You may lose money investing in the Fund. Mutual fund shares are <u>not</u> obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government.** Generally, the Fund will be subject to the following risks:

*Credit Risk*. A principal risk of investing in the Fund is the possibility of default on the municipal securities, even though the securities are investment grade; and possible loss of money. The Fund is relying on the ability of the issuer to make interest payments and repay principal when due. This subjects the Fund to credit risk because a municipal issuer may be fiscally unstable or exposed to large liabilities that could impair its ability to honor its obligations. Municipal issuers with significant debt service requirements, in the near-to mid-term;

------

unrated issuers and those with less capital and liquidity to absorb additional expenses may be most at risk. Changes in an issuer's financial strength or in a security's credit rating may affect the security's value and, thus, impact Fund performance. The treatment of municipalities in bankruptcy is more uncertain, and potentially more adverse to debt holders, than for corporate issuers.

*Insurance Risk*. A number of the securities held in the Fund's portfolio may be insured securities. A change in the credit rating of any one or more of the municipal bond insurers that insure securities in the Fund's portfolio may affect the value of such securities, the Fund's share price, and Fund performance. The Fund's performance might also be adversely affected by the inability of an insurer to meet its insurance obligations. It is important to note that insurance does not guarantee the market value of an insured security or the Fund's share price or distributions, and shares of the Fund are not insured.

*State-Specific Concentration Risk*. Investment in the Fund may involve greater risk than an investment in a fund with a portfolio comprised of municipal securities issued by more than one state. This additional risk is due to the possibility of an economic, regulatory or political development unique to a single state or region that may adversely affect the performance of the Fund. Since the Fund invests in Alabama municipal securities, economic, regulatory and political events in Alabama are likely to directly affect the Fund's investments and its performance.

*Municipal Securities Risk*. The value of municipal securities in which the Fund invests may be affected by economic, regulatory, political and social developments. Because many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects (such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities), conditions in those sectors also may affect the overall municipal securities market. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal issuer can affect the overall municipal market. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the supporting taxation or the inability to collect revenues for the specific project or specific assets. Also downgrades or defaults during economic downturns or similar periods of economic stress, could affect the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of issuers in a state, U.S. territory, or possession. For example, a pandemic can significantly stress the financial resources of many municipal issuers, which may impair a municipal issuer's ability to meet its financial obligations when due and may adversely impact the value of its bonds, which could negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Municipal securities may be less liquid than taxable bonds and there may be less publicly available information on the financial condition of municipal securities issuers than for issuers of other securities, and the investment performance of a Fund investing in municipal securities may therefore be more dependent on the analytical abilities of the Adviser than if the Fund held other types of

investments such as stocks or taxable bonds. The secondary market for municipal securities also tends to be less well developed or liquid than many other securities markets, a by-product of lower capital commitments to the asset class by the dealer community, which may adversely affect the Fund's ability to sell municipal securities it holds at attractive prices or value municipal securities. The Fund may also invest in municipal lease obligations which differ from other municipal securities because the lease payments are subject to annual legislative appropriation. If the money is not appropriated, the lease can be cancelled without penalty and investors who own the lease obligations may not be paid.

*Issuer Cybersecurity Risk.* Municipalities issuing securities in which the Fund invests, counterparties with which Fund engages in transactions, exchange and other financial market operators, banks, brokers, dealers and other financial institutions may experience cybersecurity breaches. Cybersecurity breaches can include unauthorized access to systems, networks, or devices; infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code; ransomware; and attacks that shut down, disable, slow, or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes, or website access or functionality. These breaches may result in harmful disruptions to their operations and may negatively impact the financial condition for the municipal issuer, counterparty or other market participant. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.

*Interest Rate Risk*. Typically, as interest rates rise, the price of municipal bonds will fall; conversely, municipal bond prices will rise when interest rates fall. In general, portfolios with longer average maturities are more sensitive to these price changes. . You should expect the Fund's share price and total return to fluctuate.

*Prepayment or Call Risk*. A municipal security may be prepaid (called) before maturity. An issuer is more likely to call its securities when interest rates are falling. If a security is called, the Fund may have to replace it with a lower-yielding security. The Fund may hold a large number of securities that are subject to call risk. A call of some or all of these securities may lower the Fund's income and yield and its distributions to shareholders.

*Market and Geopolitical Risk*. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region, or financial market. Debt markets can be volatile and can decline significantly in response to, or investor perceptions of, issuer, market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, climate change and climate-related events, terrorism, governmental actions, and other conditions. As a result, the market values of municipal securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, as a result of market activity, interest

------

rate fluctuations or as a result of supply and demand factors. When there are more buyers than sellers, prices tend to rise. Conversely, when there are more sellers than buyers, prices tend to fall. Municipal securities may be issued on a when-issued or delayed basis, where payment and delivery take place at a future date. Since the market price of the security may fluctuate during the time before payment and delivery, the Fund assumes the risk that the value of the security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price. Due to these factors, the net asset value (NAV) of the Fund's shares will fluctuate.

*Yield Risk*. The yields of municipal securities are dependent on a variety of factors, including the maturity and quality of the particular obligation, the size of the total offering, prevailing conditions in the municipal securities markets and general monetary and economic conditions. Generally, issues with shorter maturities and/or higher credit quality pay lower yields than issues with longer maturities and/or lower credit quality.

*Rating Agency Risk*. Investment grade debt securities may be downgraded by a major rating agency to below investment grade status, which increases the risk of holding these securities. In addition, a rating may become stale in that it fails to reflect changes to an issuer's financial condition. Rating agencies are subject to an inherent conflict of interest because they are often compensated by the same issuers whose securities they grade.

*Taxability Risk*. The Fund's investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer's bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service may determine that the issuer has not complied with applicable tax requirements and a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable. This may result in a significant decline in the value of the security. In addition, the state may eliminate its income tax or there may be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities.

*Management Risk*. The Fund is also subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Fund's investment adviser will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund's total return may vary considerably from one year to the next. There is no assurance that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved.

*NAV Risk*. The NAV of the Fund is calculated on a daily basis and may fluctuate considerably.

#### Risk/Return Bar Chart and Table

#### FEES AND EXPENSES
This 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 table and examples below.**

**Shareholder fees** (fees paid directly from your investment)

|  Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) |  |
|  Maximum Sales Charge (Load) |  |
|  Redemption Fee |  |
|  Redemption Fee if by wire transfer | $15.00 |

#### Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example 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 these periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **1 year** | **3 years** | **5 years** | **10 years** |
| $62 | $195 | $340 | $762 |

---

You would pay the same expenses assuming no redemption.

#### Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transactions 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 above, affect the Fund's performance. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 18.92% of the average value of its portfolio.

#### PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE

#### Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide a steady flow of tax-exempt income derived from Kentucky municipal securities of investment grade quality (those rated BBB or Baa or higher by U.S. nationally recognized rating services at the time of purchase) with a weighted average nominal maturity normally greater than 10 years. The interest earned on these securities, in the opinion of bond counsel for the issuer, is exempt from federal and state taxation in the state of Kentucky. The Fund has a fundamental policy that during periods of normal market conditions either (1) the Fund's assets will be invested so that at least 80% of the income will be exempt from Federal and Kentucky income taxes or (2) the Fund will have at least 80% of its net assets invested in securities exempt from Federal and Kentucky income taxes. Maintaining a steady stream of tax-exempt income is a primary objective of the Fund. The investment adviser selects securities that it believes will provide the best balance between risk and return and typically uses a buy and hold strategy. Securities in the Fund's portfolio are typically held for income purposes, rather than trading them for capital gains. However, the investment adviser may sell a security at any time if it believes it could help the Fund meet its goals.

#### Principal Risks of Investing
Any investment in the Fund is subject to investment risks. **You may lose money investing in the Fund. Mutual fund shares are <u>not</u> obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government.** Generally, the Fund will be subject to the following risks:

*Credit Risk*. A principal risk of investing in the Fund is the possibility of default on the municipal securities, even though the securities are investment grade; and possible loss of money. The Fund is relying on the ability of the issuer to make interest payments and repay principal when due. This subjects the Fund to credit risk because a municipal issuer may be fiscally unstable or exposed to large liabilities that could impair its ability to honor its obligations. Municipal issuers with significant debt service requirements, in the near-to mid-term; unrated issuers and those with less capital and liquidity to absorb additional expenses may be most at risk. Changes in an issuer's financial strength or in a security's credit rating may affect the security's value and, thus, impact Fund performance. The treatment of municipalities in bankruptcy is more

------

uncertain, and potentially more adverse to debt holders, than for corporate issuers.

*Insurance Risk*. A number of the securities held in the Fund's portfolio may be insured securities. A change in the credit rating of any one or more of the municipal bond insurers that insure securities in the Fund's portfolio may affect the value of such securities, the Fund's share price, and Fund performance. The Fund's performance might also be adversely affected by the inability of an insurer to meet its insurance obligations. It is important to note that insurance does not guarantee the market value of an insured security or the Fund's share price or distributions, and shares of the Fund are not insured.

*State-Specific Concentration Risk*. Investment in the Fund may involve greater risk than an investment in a fund with a portfolio comprised of municipal securities issued by more than one state. This additional risk is due to the possibility of an economic, regulatory or political development unique to a single state or region that may adversely affect the performance of the Fund. Since the Fund invests in Kentucky municipal securities, economic, regulatory and political events in Kentucky are likely to directly affect the Fund's investments and its performance.

*Municipal Securities Risk*. The value of municipal securities in which the Fund invests may be affected by economic, regulatory, political and social developments. Because many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects (such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities), conditions in those sectors also may affect the overall municipal securities market. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal issuer can affect the overall municipal market. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the supporting taxation or the inability to collect revenues for the specific project or specific assets. Also downgrades or defaults during economic downturns or similar periods of economic stress, could affect the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of issuers in a state, U.S. territory, or possession. For example, a pandemic can significantly stress the financial resources of many municipal issuers, which may impair a municipal issuer's ability to meet its financial obligations when due and may adversely impact the value of its bonds, which could negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Municipal securities may be less liquid than taxable bonds and there may be less publicly available information on the financial condition of municipal securities issuers than for issuers of other securities, and the investment performance of a Fund investing in municipal securities may therefore be more dependent on the analytical abilities of the Adviser than if the Fund held other types of investments such as stocks or taxable bonds. The secondary market for municipal securities also tends to be less well developed or liquid than many other securities markets, a by-product of lower capital commitments to the asset class by the dealer community, which may adversely affect the Fund's

ability to sell municipal securities it holds at attractive prices or value municipal securities. The Fund may also invest in municipal lease obligations which differ from other municipal securities because the lease payments are subject to annual legislative appropriation. If the money is not appropriated, the lease can be cancelled without penalty and investors who own the lease obligations may not be paid.

*Issuer Cybersecurity Risk.* Municipalities issuing securities in which the Fund invests, counterparties with which Fund engages in transactions, exchange and other financial market operators, banks, brokers, dealers and other financial institutions may experience cybersecurity breaches. Cybersecurity breaches can include unauthorized access to systems, networks, or devices; infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code; ransomware; and attacks that shut down, disable, slow, or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes, or website access or functionality. These breaches may result in harmful disruptions to their operations and may negatively impact the financial condition for the municipal issuer, counterparty or other market participant. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.

*Interest Rate Risk*. Typically, as interest rates rise, the price of municipal bonds will fall; conversely, municipal bond prices will rise when interest rates fall. In general, portfolios with longer average maturities are more sensitive to these price changes. You should expect the Fund's share price and total return to fluctuate.

*Prepayment or Call Risk*. A municipal security may be prepaid (called) before maturity. An issuer is more likely to call its securities when interest rates are falling. If a security is called, the Fund may have to replace it with a lower-yielding security. The Fund may hold a large number of securities that are subject to call risk. A call of some or all of these securities may lower the Fund's income and yield and its distributions to shareholders.

*Market and Geopolitical Risk*. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region, or financial market. Debt markets can be volatile and can decline significantly in response to, or investor perceptions of, issuer, market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, climate change and climate-related events, terrorism, governmental actions, and other conditions. As a result, the market values of municipal securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, as a result of market activity, interest rate fluctuations or as a result of supply and demand factors. When there are more buyers than sellers, prices tend to rise. Conversely, when there are more sellers than buyers, prices tend to fall. Municipal securities may be issued on a when-issued or delayed basis, where payment and delivery take place

------

at a future date. Since the market price of the security may fluctuate during the time before payment and delivery, the Fund assumes the risk that the value of the security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price. Due to these factors, the net asset value (NAV) of the Fund's shares will fluctuate.

*Yield Risk*. The yields of municipal securities are dependent on a variety of factors, including the maturity and quality of the particular obligation, the size of the total offering, prevailing conditions in the municipal securities markets and general monetary and economic conditions. Generally, issues with shorter maturities and/or higher credit quality pay lower yields than issues with longer maturities and/or lower credit quality.

*Rating Agency Risk*. Investment grade debt securities may be downgraded by a major rating agency to below investment grade status, which increases the risk of holding these securities. In addition, a rating may become stale in that it fails to reflect changes to an issuer's financial condition. Rating agencies are subject to an inherent conflict of interest because they are often compensated by the same issuers whose securities they grade.

*Taxability Risk*. The Fund's investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer's bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service may determine that the issuer has not complied with applicable tax requirements and a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable. This may result in a significant decline in the value of the security. In addition, the state may eliminate its income tax or there may be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities.

*Management Risk*. The Fund is also subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Fund's investment adviser will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund's total return may vary considerably from one year to the next. There is no assurance that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved.

*NAV Risk*. The NAV of the Fund is calculated on a daily basis and may fluctuate considerably.

#### Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example 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 these periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **1 year** | **3 years** | **5 years** | **10 years** |
| $76 | $237 | $411 | $918 |

---

You would pay the same expenses assuming no redemption.

#### Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transactions 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 above, affect the Fund's performance. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 23.38% of the average value of its portfolio.

#### PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE

#### Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide a steady flow of tax-exempt income derived from North Carolina municipal securities of investment grade quality (those rated BBB or Baa or higher by U.S. nationally recognized rating services at the time of purchase) with a weighted average nominal maturity normally greater than 10 years. The interest earned on these securities, in the opinion of bond counsel for the issuer, is exempt from federal and state taxation in the state of North Carolina. The Fund has a fundamental policy that during periods of normal market conditions either (1) the Fund's assets will be invested so that at least 80% of the income will be exempt from Federal and North Carolina income taxes or (2) the Fund will have at least 80% of its net assets invested in securities exempt from Federal and North Carolina income taxes. Maintaining a steady stream of tax-exempt income is a primary objective of the Fund. The investment adviser selects securities that it believes will provide the best balance between risk and return and typically uses a buy and hold strategy. Securities in the Fund's portfolio are typically held for income purposes, rather than trading them for capital gains. However, the investment adviser may sell a security at any time if it believes it could help the Fund meet its goals.

#### Principal Risks of Investing
Any investment in the Fund is subject to investment risks. **You may lose money investing in the Fund. Mutual fund shares are <u>not</u> obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government.** Generally, the Fund will be subject to the following risks:

*Credit Risk*. A principal risk of investing in the Fund is the possibility of default on the municipal securities, even though the securities are investment grade; and possible loss of money. The Fund is relying on the ability of the issuer to make interest payments and repay principal when due. This subjects the Fund to credit risk because a municipal issuer may be fiscally unstable or exposed to large liabilities that could impair its ability to honor its obligations. Municipal issuers with significant debt service requirements, in the near-to mid-term; unrated issuers and those with less capital and liquidity to absorb additional expenses may be most at risk. Changes in an

------

issuer's financial strength or in a security's credit rating may affect the security's value and, thus, impact Fund performance. The treatment of municipalities in bankruptcy is more uncertain, and potentially more adverse to debt holders, than for corporate issuers.

*Insurance Risk*. A number of the securities held in the Fund's portfolio may be insured securities. A change in the credit rating of any one or more of the municipal bond insurers that insure securities in the Fund's portfolio may affect the value of such securities, the Fund's share price, and Fund performance. The Fund's performance might also be adversely affected by the inability of an insurer to meet its insurance obligations. It is important to note that insurance does not guarantee the market value of an insured security or the Fund's share price or distributions, and shares of the Fund are not insured.

*State-Specific Concentration Risk*. Investment in the Fund may involve greater risk than an investment in a fund with a portfolio comprised of municipal securities issued by more than one state. This additional risk is due to the possibility of an economic, regulatory or political development unique to a single state or region that may adversely affect the performance of the Fund. Since the Fund invests in North Carolina municipal securities, economic, regulatory and political events in North Carolina are likely to directly affect the Fund's investments and its performance.

*Municipal Securities Risk*. The value of municipal securities in which the Fund invests may be affected by economic, regulatory, political and social developments. Because many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects (such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities), conditions in those sectors also may affect the overall municipal securities market. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal issuer can affect the overall municipal market. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the supporting taxation or the inability to collect revenues for the specific project or specific assets. Also downgrades or defaults during economic downturns or similar periods of economic stress, could affect the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of issuers in a state, U.S. territory, or possession. For example, a pandemic can significantly stress the financial resources of many municipal issuers, which may impair a municipal issuer's ability to meet its financial obligations when due and may adversely impact the value of its bonds, which could negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Municipal securities may be less liquid than taxable bonds and there may be less publicly available information on the financial condition of municipal securities issuers than for issuers of other securities, and the investment performance of a Fund investing in municipal securities may therefore be more dependent on the analytical abilities of the Adviser than if the Fund held other types of investments such as stocks or taxable bonds. The secondary market for municipal securities also tends to be less well

developed or liquid than many other securities markets, a by-product of lower capital commitments to the asset class by the dealer community, which may adversely affect the Fund's ability to sell municipal securities it holds at attractive prices or value municipal securities. The Fund may also invest in municipal lease obligations which differ from other municipal securities because the lease payments are subject to annual legislative appropriation. If the money is not appropriated, the lease can be cancelled without penalty and investors who own the lease obligations may not be paid.

*Issuer Cybersecurity Risk*. Municipalities issuing securities in which the Fund invests, counterparties with which Fund engages in transactions, exchange and other financial market operators, banks, brokers, dealers and other financial institutions may experience cybersecurity breaches. Cybersecurity breaches can include unauthorized access to systems, networks, or devices; infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code; ransomware; and attacks that shut down, disable, slow, or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes, or website access or functionality. These breaches may result in harmful disruptions to their operations and may negatively impact the financial condition for the municipal issuer, counterparty or other market participant. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.

*Interest Rate Risk*. Typically, as interest rates rise, the price of municipal bonds will fall; conversely, municipal bond prices will rise when interest rates fall. In general, portfolios with longer average maturities are more sensitive to these price changes. . You should expect the Fund's share price and total return to fluctuate.

*Prepayment or Call Risk*. A municipal security may be prepaid (called) before maturity. An issuer is more likely to call its securities when interest rates are falling. If a security is called, the Fund may have to replace it with a lower-yielding security. The Fund may hold a large number of securities that are subject to call risk. A call of some or all of these securities may lower the Fund's income and yield and its distributions to shareholders.

*Market and Geopolitical Risk*. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country, region, or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Debt markets can be volatile and can decline significantly in response to, or investor perceptions of, issuer, market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, climate change and climate-related events, terrorism, governmental actions, and other conditions. As a result, the market values of municipal securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, as a result of market activity, interest rate fluctuations or as a result of supply and demand factors. When there are more buyers than sellers, prices tend to rise.

------

Conversely, when there are more sellers than buyers, prices tend to fall. Municipal securities may be issued on a when-issued or delayed basis, where payment and delivery take place at a future date. Since the market price of the security may fluctuate during the time before payment and delivery, the Fund assumes the risk that the value of the security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price. Due to these factors, the net asset value (NAV) of the Fund's shares will fluctuate.

*Yield Risk*. The yields of municipal securities are dependent on a variety of factors, including the maturity and quality of the particular obligation, the size of the total offering, prevailing conditions in the municipal securities markets and general monetary and economic conditions. Generally, issues with shorter maturities and/or higher credit quality pay lower yields than issues with longer maturities and/or lower credit quality.

*Rating Agency Risk*. Investment grade debt securities may be downgraded by a major rating agency to below investment grade status, which increases the risk of holding these securities. In addition, a rating may become stale in that it fails to reflect changes to an issuer's financial condition. Rating agencies are subject to an inherent conflict of interest because they are often compensated by the same issuers whose securities they grade.

*Taxability Risk*. The Fund's investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer's bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service may determine that the issuer has not complied with applicable tax requirements and a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable. This may result in a significant decline in the value of the security. In addition, the state may eliminate its income tax or there may be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities.

*Management Risk*. The Fund is also subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Fund's investment adviser will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund's total return may vary considerably from one year to the next. There is no assurance that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved.

*NAV Risk*. The NAV of the Fund is calculated on a daily basis and may fluctuate considerably.

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 above, affect the Fund's performance. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 12.60% of the average value of its portfolio.

#### PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE

#### Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide a steady flow of taxable income derived from taxable municipal securities of investment grade quality (those rated BBB or Baa or higher by U.S. nationally recognized rating organizations (NRSROs) at the time of purchase) with a weighted average nominal maturity normally greater than 10 years. The Fund generally purchases taxable municipal bonds with nominal maturities typically ranging from 10-30 years. Maintaining a steady stream of taxable income is a primary objective of the Fund. The investment adviser selects securities that it believes will provide the best balance between risk and return and typically uses a buy and hold strategy. Securities in the Fund's portfolio are typically held for income purposes, rather than trading securities for capital gains. However, the investment adviser may sell a security at any time if it believes it could help the Fund meet its goals.

The interest earned on these securities is fully taxable at the federal level and may be subject to tax at the state level. In periods of normal market conditions either (1) the Fund's assets will be invested so that at least 80% of the income will be taxable or (2) the Fund will have at least 80% of its net assets invested in taxable municipal bonds. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in taxable debt obligations other than municipal bonds, including but not limited to, U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies, and instrumentalities. We may purchase bonds subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax for this portfolio.

The Fund may also invest in taxable municipal bonds issued pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the "Act") or other legislation providing for the issuance of taxable municipal debt on which the issuer receives federal support ("Build America Bonds"). Enacted in February 2009, the Act authorized state and local governments to issue taxable bonds for which, provided certain specified conditions are met, issuers may either (i) receive reimbursement from the U.S. Treasury with respect to the interest payments on the bonds ("direct pay" Build America Bonds) or (ii) provide tax credits to investors in bonds ("tax credit" Build America Bonds). The federal interest subsidy on direct pay Build America Bonds

------

continues for the life of the bonds. Build America Bonds provide an alternative form of financing to state and local governments and, in certain cases, may provide a lower net cost of funds to issuers.

Unlike most other municipal bonds, interest received on Build America Bonds is subject to federal income tax and may be subject to state tax. Issuance of Build America Bonds ceased on December 31, 2010, as Congress declined to extend the provisions of the Act. As such, at the present time issuers do not have the ability to issue new Build America Bonds. However, Build America Bonds continue to be actively traded in the secondary market.

The Fund does <u>not</u> invest in any "tax credit" bonds authorized by the Act. As such, the Fund does not receive or pass through to shareholders tax credits as a result of investments.

This Fund is non-diversified.

#### Principal Risks of Investing
Any investment in the Fund is subject to investment risks. **You may lose money investing in the Fund. Mutual fund shares are <u>not</u> obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government.** Generally, the Fund will be subject to the following risks:

*Credit Risk*. A principal risk of investing in the Fund is the possibility of default on the municipal securities, even though the securities are investment grade; and possible loss of money. The Fund is relying on the ability of the issuer to make interest payments and repay principal when due. This subjects the Fund to credit risk because a municipal issuer may be fiscally unstable or exposed to large liabilities that could impair its ability to honor its obligations. Municipal issuers with significant debt service requirements, in the near-to mid-term; unrated issuers and those with less capital and liquidity to absorb additional expenses may be most at risk. Changes in an issuer's financial strength or in a security's credit rating may affect the security's value and, thus, impact Fund performance. The treatment of municipalities in bankruptcy is more uncertain, and potentially more adverse to debt holders, than for corporate issuers.

*Insurance Risk*. A number of the securities held in the Fund's portfolio may be insured securities. A change in the credit rating of any one or more of the municipal bond insurers that insure securities in the Fund's portfolio may affect the value of such securities, the Fund's share price, and Fund performance. The Fund's performance might also be adversely affected by the inability of an insurer to meet its insurance obligations. It is important to note that insurance does not guarantee the market value of an insured security or the Fund's share price or distributions, and shares of the Fund are not insured.

*Municipal Securities Risk*. The value of municipal securities in which the Fund invests may be affected by economic, regulatory, political and social developments. Because many

municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects (such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities), conditions in those sectors also may affect the overall municipal securities market. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal issuer can affect the overall municipal market. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the supporting taxation or the inability to collect revenues for the specific project or specific assets. Also downgrades or defaults during economic downturns or similar periods of economic stress, could affect the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of issuers in a state, U.S. territory, or possession. For example, a pandemic can significantly stress the financial resources of many municipal issuers, which may impair a municipal issuer's ability to meet its financial obligations when due and may adversely impact the value of its bonds, which could negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Municipal securities may be less liquid than taxable bonds and there may be less publicly available information on the financial condition of municipal securities issuers than for issuers of other securities, and the investment performance of a Fund investing in municipal securities may therefore be more dependent on the analytical abilities of the Adviser than if the Fund held other types of investments such as stocks or taxable bonds. The secondary market for municipal securities also tends to be less well developed or liquid than many other securities markets, a by-product of lower capital commitments to the asset class by the dealer community, which may adversely affect the Fund's ability to sell municipal securities it holds at attractive prices or value municipal securities. The Fund may also invest in municipal lease obligations which differ from other municipal securities because the lease payments are subject to annual legislative appropriation. If the money is not appropriated, the lease can be cancelled without penalty and investors who own the lease obligations may not be paid.

*Issuer Cybersecurity Risk*. Municipalities issuing securities in which the Fund invests, counterparties with which Fund engages in transactions, exchange and other financial market operators, banks, brokers, dealers and other financial institutions may experience cybersecurity breaches. Cybersecurity breaches can include unauthorized access to systems, networks, or devices; infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code; ransomware; and attacks that shut down, disable, slow, or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes, or website access or functionality. These breaches may result in harmful disruptions to their operations and may negatively impact the financial condition for the municipal issuer, counterparty or other market participant. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.

*Interest Rate Risk*. Typically, as interest rates rise, the price of municipal bonds will fall; conversely, municipal bond prices will rise when interest rates fall. In general, portfolios with longer average maturities are more sensitive to these price

------

changes. . You should expect the Fund's share price and total return to fluctuate.

*Prepayment or Call Risk.* A municipal security may be prepaid (called) before maturity. An issuer is more likely to call its securities when interest rates are falling. If a security is called, the Fund may have to replace it with a lower-yielding security. The Fund may hold a large number of securities that are subject to call risk. A call of some or all of these securities may lower the Fund's income and yield and its distributions to shareholders.

*Market and Geopolitical Risk*. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country, region, or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Debt markets can be volatile and can decline significantly in response to, or investor perceptions of, issuer, market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, climate change and climate-related events, terrorism, governmental actions, and other conditions. As a result, the market values of municipal securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, as a result of market activity, interest rate fluctuations or as a result of supply and demand factors. When there are more buyers than sellers, prices tend to rise. Conversely, when there are more sellers than buyers, prices tend to fall. Municipal securities may be issued on a when-issued or delayed basis, where payment and delivery take place at a future date. Since the market price of the security may fluctuate during the time before payment and delivery, the Fund assumes the risk that the value of the security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price. Due to these factors, the net asset value (NAV) of the Fund's shares will fluctuate.

*Yield Risk*. The yields of municipal securities are dependent on a variety of factors, including the maturity and quality of the particular obligation, the size of the total offering, prevailing conditions in the municipal securities markets and general monetary and economic conditions. Generally, issues with shorter maturities and/or higher credit quality pay lower yields than issues with longer maturities and/or lower credit quality.

*Rating Agency Risk*. Investment grade debt securities may be downgraded by a major rating agency to below investment grade status, which increases the risk of holding these securities. In addition, a rating may become stale in that it fails to reflect changes to an issuer's financial condition. Rating agencies are subject to an inherent conflict of interest because they are often compensated by the same issuers whose securities they grade.

*Non-Diversification Risk*. Since the Fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. This increased investment in fewer issuers may result in increased volatility in the fund's performance and share price.

*Management Risk*. The Fund is also subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Fund's investment adviser will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund's total return may vary considerably from one year to the next. There is no assurance that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved.

*Liquidity Risk*. Build America Bonds may be less liquid than other types of municipal obligations. Less liquid bonds can become more difficult to value and illiquidity may negatively affect prices of bonds held in the portfolio.

*Regulatory Risk*. Because issuers of direct pay Build America Bonds have to meet certain requirements to receive a reimbursement from the U.S. Treasury, there is always the possibility that such requirements may not be met by the issuer. Under such a scenario, there is a risk that the reimbursement from the U.S. Treasury may be interrupted which may be a problem if the funds are pledged to service the debt of the underlying direct pay Build America Bonds. Additionally, if issuers owe money to the federal government, the reimbursement from the U.S. Treasury may be subject to an "offset" which could potentially reduce the amount of money available to service debt payments on direct pay Build America Bonds. Additionally, under the Budget Control Act of 2011, the Congressionally mandated sequestration process has resulted in a delay or reduction in the payments to some issuers of Build America Bonds. Any interruption, delay, reduction, and/or offset of the reimbursement from the U.S Treasury may reduce the demand for such direct pay Build America Bonds and/or potentially trigger extraordinary call features of the bonds. This may, in turn, reduce market prices and cause the value of Fund shares to fall.

*NAV Risk*. The net asset value (NAV) of the Fund is calculated on a daily basis and may fluctuate considerably.

\* For the most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses were 0.70% after voluntary fee waivers and reductions by the Adviser, Transfer Agent, and Custodian. The Adviser, Transfer Agent, and Custodian have agreed not to seek recovery of these waivers and reductions.

#### Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example 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 these periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **1 year** | **3 years** | **5 years** | **10 years** |
| $87 | $271 | $471 | $1049 |

---

You would pay the same expenses assuming no redemption.

#### Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transactions 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 above, affect the Fund's performance. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 80.78% of the average value of its portfolio.

#### PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE

#### Principal Investment Strategies
At least eighty percent (80%) of the portfolio of the Intermediate Government Bond Series will be invested in securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities, with the remainder of the portfolio invested in bank accounts fully insured by the FDIC or collateralized by bonds issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies or U.S. Treasury or Agency Notes and Bills. This investment policy is non-fundamental and can be changed by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board") upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders. The weighted average nominal maturity of the Fund will normally range between 3-10 years. Maintaining a high level of income is a primary objective of the Fund. The investment adviser selects securities that it believes will provide the best balance between risk and return and typically uses a buy and hold strategy. Securities in the Fund's portfolio are typically held for income purposes, rather than trading them for capital gains. However, the investment adviser may sell a security at any time if it believes it could help the Fund meet its goals.

#### Principal Risks of Investing
Any investment in the Fund is subject to investment risks. **You may lose money investing in the Fund. Mutual fund shares are <u>not</u> obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government.** Generally, the Fund will be subject to the following risks.

*Credit Risk*. A principal risk of investing in the Fund is the possibility of default, even though the bonds are investment grade; and possible loss of money. The Fund is relying on the ability of the government issuer to make interest payments and repay principal when due. Changes in an issuer's financial strength or in a security's credit rating may affect the security's value and, thus, impact Fund performance. Shares of the Fund are <u>not</u> insured by the U.S. government nor are the Fund's share price or distributions.

*Issuer Cybersecurity Risk.* Government agencies issuing securities in which the Fund invests, counterparties with which Fund engages in transactions, exchange and other financial market operators, banks, brokers, dealers and other financial

------

institutions may experience cybersecurity breaches. Cybersecurity breaches can include unauthorized access to systems, networks, or devices; infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code; ransomware; and attacks that shut down, disable, slow, or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes, or website access or functionality. These breaches may result in harmful disruptions to their operations and may negatively impact the financial condition for the municipal issuer, counterparty or other market participant. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.

*Interest Rate Risk.* Typically, as interest rates rise, the price of government bonds will fall; conversely, government bond prices will rise when interest rates fall. In general, portfolios with longer average maturities are more sensitive to these price changes. You should expect the Fund's share price and total return to fluctuate.

*Prepayment or Call Risk*. A U.S. government security may be prepaid (called) before maturity. An issuer is more likely to call its securities when interest rates are falling. If a security is called, the Fund may have to replace it with a lower-yielding security. The Fund may hold a large number of securities subject to call risk. A call of some or all of these securities may lower the Fund's income and yield and its distributions to shareholders.

*Market and Geopolitical Risk*. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region, or financial market. Debt markets can be volatile and can decline significantly in response to, or investor perceptions of, issuer, market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, governmental actions, The value of the securities in which the Fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, economic, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, climate change and climate-related events, terrorism, governmental actions and social developments. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect the Fund. As a result, the market values of U.S. government securities held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, as a result of market activity, interest rate fluctuations or as a result of supply and demand factors. When there are more buyers than sellers, prices tend to rise. Conversely, when there are more sellers than buyers, prices tend to fall. U.S. government securities may be issued on a when-issued or delayed basis, where payment and delivery take place at a future date. Since the market price of the security may fluctuate during the time before payment and delivery, the Fund assumes the risk that the value of the security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price. Due to these factors, the net asset value (NAV) of the Fund's shares will fluctuate.

*Yield Risk*. The yields of government bonds are dependent on a variety of factors, including the maturity and quality of the particular obligation, the size of the total offering, prevailing conditions in the U.S. government bond markets and general monetary and economic conditions. In periods of rising interest rates, the yield of the Fund typically would tend to be somewhat lower. When interest rates are falling, the inflow of net new money to the Fund will likely be invested in portfolio instruments producing lower yields than the balance of the Fund's portfolio, reducing the current yield of the Fund. In periods of rising interest rates, if there is an outflow of money, the yield may rise, although the share price will generally decline.

*U.S. Government Securities Risk*.** The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, such as the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the "full faith and credit" of the U.S. government. Securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies or authorities and U.S. government-sponsored instrumentalities or enterprises may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. No assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if not required to do so by law.

*Management Risk*. The Fund is also subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Fund's investment adviser will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. The Fund's annual total returns may vary considerably from one year to the next. There is no assurance that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved.

*NAV Risk*. The net asset value (NAV) of the Fund is calculated on a daily basis and may fluctuate considerably.

#### SUMMARY OF SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

#### Cybersecurity Risk
The computer systems, networks and devices used by the Funds and their service providers to carry out routine business operations employ a variety of protections designed to prevent damage or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons and security breaches. Despite the various protections utilized by the Funds and their service providers, systems, networks, or devices potentially can be breached. The Funds and their shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result of a cybersecurity breach.

Cybersecurity breaches can include unauthorized access to systems, networks, or devices; infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code; ransomware; and attacks that shut down, disable, slow, or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes, or website access or functionality. Cybersecurity breaches may cause disruptions and impact the Funds' business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses; interference with the Funds' ability to calculate their NAV; impediments to trading; the inability of the Funds, the Adviser, and other service providers to transact business; violations of applicable privacy and other laws; regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, or additional compliance costs; as well as the inadvertent release of confidential information.

Similar adverse consequences could result from cybersecurity breaches affecting issuers of securities in which the Funds invest; counterparties with which the Funds engage 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 the Funds' shareholders); and other parties. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred by these entities in order to prevent any cybersecurity breaches in the future.

#### SELLING SHARES
You may sell all or part of the shares in your account at any time without any penalties or sales commissions. The sale of shares may result in a capital gain or loss depending upon your tax basis in the shares, and losses are subject to potential limitation or disallowance under various tax rules. To sell shares, simply use one of the methods described below. We generally do not require a signature guarantee (but reserve the right to do so); however, on your account application, you will be asked to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, the Transfer Agent and their officers, agents and employees, from losses, claims, expenses and liabilities based on actions taken as the result of your instructions. The Trust will utilize reasonable procedures, such as recording telephone redemption requests or making inquiries of information that should only be known to the shareholder and the Trust, to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone or in writing are genuine. If reasonable procedures are followed by the Trust, it will not be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions.

By Telephone

In Lexington, KY (859) 254-7741

Toll Free National Number (800) 866-0614

All accounts will automatically receive telephone redemption, exchange and transfer privileges unless indicated otherwise on the initial application form. We will mail or wire the money only to the address or bank account previously filed with us. Changes to any redemption instructions must be made in writing and signed by all owners. The telephone cannot be used to redeem shares for which you hold certificates of beneficial interest or until the Transfer Agent has confirmed that funds used to purchase Dupree Shares have cleared your bank, typically 7 business days after receipt of funds. The Trust or the Transfer Agent may terminate telephone, exchange, and transfer privileges at any time.

#### By Mail
You must send us a written request for redemption, signed by each registered holder exactly as the shares are registered along with (if applicable):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Any certificates of beneficial interest

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Documents required by Corporations, Executors, Administrators, Trustees and Guardians.

#### Third-Party Intermediary
If you invest through a third party (rather than directly with the Trust), the third party may charge you fees different from those described here. Banks, brokers, 401(k) plans, financial advisers and financial supermarkets may charge transaction fees and may set different minimum investments or limitations on buying or selling shares. Consult a representative of your plan or financial institution if in doubt. All such transactions

------

through third parties depend upon your contractual relations with the third party and whether there is an arrangement with the third party.

The Funds have authorized one or more financial intermediaries to receive on its behalf purchase and redemption orders. Such financial intermediaries may authorize or designate other intermediaries to receive purchase and redemption orders on the Funds' behalf. The Funds will be deemed to have received a purchase or redemption order when an authorized broker or, if applicable, a financial intermediary's authorized designee, receives the order.

#### Payment of Redemption Proceeds
The Trust typically expects to pay redemption proceeds on the next business day, regardless of whether the payment is made by check, Automated Clearing House (ACH) electronic fund transfer or wire. The Trust typically expects to pay redemptions from cash, cash equivalents, any lines of credit, and then from the sale of portfolio securities. These redemption payment methods will be used in regular and stressed market conditions. The Transfer Agent will normally mail a check, initiate an ACH transfer or wire redemption proceeds the business day following the receipt of all necessary documents in proper form. In order to receive proceeds by check, the redeeming amount must be at least $100.00. In order to receive proceeds by wire the redeeming amount must be at least $500.00. A $15.00 wire charge fee applies to all redemptions processed by wire. The Transfer Agent may deduct the wire charge from the redemption proceeds. Your own bank may also impose a wire charge on your account to which the funds are wired. There is no fee for processing redemption proceeds through the ACH electronic funds transfer system. Electronic transfers processed through the ACH system may take up to 48 hours to clear your bank.

We reserve the right on all redemptions to delay payment seven (7) days if to do otherwise would negatively affect existing shareholders.

Shares redeemed to close an account will earn dividends through the date of redemption. In addition to the redemption proceeds, redeeming shareholders will receive dividends declared but unpaid. If you redeem only a portion of your shares, you will receive all dividends declared and unpaid on all your shares on the next dividend payment date.

#### Redemption Price
The redemption price of shares redeemed will be the net asset value (NAV) per share as calculated in the first determination of the NAV after the Trust has received all necessary documents in proper form.

#### Suspension of Redemption
We may suspend the right of redemption or postpone payment for more than seven days during any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is closed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) determines trading on the NYSE is restricted;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• There is an emergency as determined by the SEC where it is not reasonably practicable for us to dispose of securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Such other period as the SEC may by order permit for the protection of the shareholders.

#### Redemption by Trust
If your account balance falls below $500 as a result of shareholder redemption and not simply market valuation change, we may redeem your shares and close out your account. We will mail you a notice requesting that you bring the account balance back up to the minimum investment amount of $500. If you choose not to do so within thirty (30) days from the date of notice, we will close your account and mail the proceeds to the address of record.

If you should reside in a state or should move to a state where the Trust does not routinely offer its shares for sale or if you should transfer or attempt to transfer any of your shares to another person residing in a state where the Trust does not routinely offer its shares for sale, the Trust reserves the right to involuntarily redeem your shares and close out your account and/or modify your dividend and/or capital gains payment options to receive your dividends and/or capital gains distributions in cash in lieu of reinvestment in the Trust.

The Trust reserves the right to redeem the shares of and close, at any time without notice, any account if it is determined that the account owner is not complying with the Trust's policies and procedures.

#### Redemption In-Kind
The Trust does not reserve the right to redeem in-kind.

#### Transfer and Exchange of Shares
You may transfer your shares to another owner. You may exchange shares between Funds offered in your state of residence without a sales charge at the next determination of net asset value; however, the Trust reserves the right to reject any exchange in excess of $50,000 and to modify or terminate the exchange privilege at any time only upon sixty (60) days written notice. An exchange is treated for federal tax purposes as a redemption and purchase of shares and may result in the realization of a capital gain or loss, depending on the cost or other tax basis of the shares exchanged. No representation is made as to the deductibility of any such loss. The Transfer Agent will provide you with information about the documents required.

#### Withdrawal Plan
You may withdraw fixed or variable amounts from your account at regular intervals. Once started, a withdrawal plan may be discontinued at any time without penalty upon receiving written instructions from you.

#### Inactive Accounts
If your account is inactive (i.e., you do not make any deposits or withdrawals) and you have not otherwise communicated

------

with us about your account during the applicable period provided by law, we may be required to report your account as "abandoned property" to the appropriate state authority under the relevant escheat laws. State unclaimed or abandoned property laws generally apply to both unclaimed securities, including shares in the Funds, and uncashed dividends or other distributions from the Funds. In order to prevent your assets from being deemed abandoned and escheated to a state, we recommend that you maintain contact with the Funds in a manner that demonstrates activity under the relevant state's laws.

#### DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Generally, we declare dividends separately for each Fund each business day. The Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee Income Series pay such dividends as of the last business day of each quarter. , The Taxable Municipal Bond Series and the Intermediate Government Bond Series pay such dividends as of the last business day of each month. If no other business day(s) intervenes between a weekend or holiday on which the Dupree office is closed, then dividends will be paid on the second to last business day of the quarter (Income Series) or month (Taxable Municipal Bond Series and Intermediate Government Bond Series). Each Fund will distribute substantially all of its income and capital gains to its shareholders every year. The Trustees have the authority to change dividend payment dates.

#### Undeliverable Redemption/Distribution Checks
Distributions (dividends) will be paid via ACH electronic funds transfer or automatically reinvested if the amount of the distribution is $10 or less. For any shareholder who chooses to receive distributions in cash: If distribution checks (1) are returned and marked as "undeliverable" or (2) have not been negotiated within six months from the date of issuance, your account will be changed automatically so that all future distributions are reinvested in your account. Redemption and fund distribution checks that have not been negotiated within six months from the date of issuance will be considered void. The checks will be canceled, and the money reinvested in the appropriate Fund on your behalf. We will send out "unresponsive payee" notices in accordance with SEC rules and regulations.

Capital gains, if any, will normally be distributed between October 31 and January 31 in order to comply with federal income tax regulations (See Statement of Additional Information for additional information). Income dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, will be paid in additional shares by credit to the shareholder's account or in cash at the shareholder's election. Any such election remains in effect until the Transfer Agent receives notice terminating the election at least three days before the payment date of a dividend or distribution. The available elections are indicated on the new account application form. Distributions (dividends) will be paid via ACH electronic funds transfer or automatically reinvested if the amount of the distribution is $10 or less.

#### FREQUENT PURCHASES AND REDEMPTION OF FUND SHARES
The Trust discourages and does not accommodate market timing. Frequent purchases and redemptions by a shareholder in any Fund may be disruptive of our efforts to maximize the yield of the Fund because it may mean that cash is not invested or that borrowing to pay redemption proceeds may be necessary. In addition, frequent trading into and out of the Funds can harm all shareholders by disrupting Fund investment strategies, increasing Fund expenses, decreasing tax efficiency and diluting share value. The Trust's management monitors trading practices of shareholders and has not detected patterns of frequent purchases and redemptions. Accordingly, the Trustees have elected not to adopt a policy or procedure to restrict such practices but reserve the right to do so if frequent trading practices are detected. As stated above, we reserve the right to reject any order to purchase shares or to delay payment of redemption proceeds seven (7) days if to do otherwise would negatively affect existing shareholders.

#### TAXES
Each Series of the Trust intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, we must distribute at least 90% of our net income earned in any year. Ordinarily, the dividends we pay our shareholders of the tax-exempt municipal bond funds will be exempt interest dividends that will be excludable from gross income for federal, including the alternative minimum tax (AMT), and state income tax purposes in certain states.

Bond Counsel for the bonds held in the tax-exempt municipal bond funds have not undertaken to advise in the future whether any events after the date of issuance of the bonds may affect the tax-exempt status of interest on the bonds or the tax consequences of ownership of the bonds. No assurance can be given that future legislation, or amendments to the Internal Revenue Code, if enacted into law, will not contain provisions which could directly or indirectly eliminate or reduce the benefit of the exclusion of the interest on the bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactively or prospectively. Because many states adopt the Internal Revenue Code as a part of the state taxation system, any changes to the federal income and/or capital gains laws may result in changes to state tax laws, resulting in a loss of or reduction in the exemption of municipal bond interest for state income tax purposes. Prospective purchasers of the tax-exempt municipal bond funds should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential consequences of any federal budget proposal and/or other legislative proposals to the treatment of interest on the bonds and distributions paid by the tax-exempt municipal bond funds.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) may audit the issuers of municipal bonds and, in rare instances, declare that the interest paid on certain municipal bonds that were originally issued as tax-exempt bonds is not excludable from gross income. Such reclassifications or actions could cause interest from a municipal security to become taxable retroactively thereby

------

increasing your tax liability. Moreover, such reclassifications or actions could cause the value of a security to drop which may result in a decline in the value of a Fund's shares. While the reclassification of income by the IRS is a relatively rare event, it is nonetheless a risk of investing in tax-exempt municipal bonds. Dividends and distributions paid on the Intermediate Government Bond Series and the Taxable Municipal Bond Series generally will be subject to federal income tax and may be subject to state income tax.

Distributions of income from investments in non-municipal securities or net short-term capital gains or net long-term capital gains exceeding our capital loss carry forwards (if any) will be taxable as more fully described in the "Statement of Additional Information." Ad valorem taxes may also be imposed in some states. The sale of shares may result in a capital gain or loss depending upon your tax basis in the shares. An exchange of Fund shares for shares of another Fund will be treated as a sale of the original Fund shares, and any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal and state income taxes.

You must report your total tax-free income on your federal income tax return. The IRS uses this information to help determine the tax status of any social security payments you may receive during the year. Tax-exempt dividends paid to social security recipients may increase the portion of social security benefits that is subject to tax. You should always consult with your tax adviser about the effects of investments in the Trust and recognize that the tax laws of the several states afford different tax treatment to their residents. Under current law, an additional 3.8% Medicare tax may be imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gains distributions received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) for certain individuals, estates, and trusts in the event that certain income thresholds are exceeded.

#### Financial Intermediary Compensation
Financial intermediaries may impose other charges or restrictions different from those applicable to shareholders who invest in the Funds directly. The Funds, Dupree & Company, Inc., and each of their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, and agents are not responsible for the failure of any financial intermediary to carry out its obligations to its customers.

#### FURTHER INFORMATION – TAX-EXEMPT MUNICIPAL BOND SERIES

#### Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies
All of our single state tax-exempt municipal bond Funds, whatever their maturity range, have an investment objective of realizing a high level of tax-exempt income without incurring undue risk to principal by investing in state specific municipal securities. The interest earned on these securities, in the opinion of bond counsel for the issuer, is exempt from federal and state taxation in the state of issuance. In conformity with

regulations adopted by the SEC, each single state tax-exempt municipal bond Fund has a fundamental policy that during periods of normal market conditions either (1) the Fund's assets will be invested so that at least 80% of the income will be tax-exempt or (2) the Fund will have at least 80% of its net assets invested in tax-exempt securities. In addition, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the value of each Fund's assets will be invested in municipal securities of the state identified in the name of the Fund. The investment policies may not be changed without approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of each Fund.

Yield on municipal securities is dependent on a variety of factors, including the maturity and quality of the particular obligation, the size of the total offering, prevailing conditions in the municipal securities markets and general monetary and economic conditions. Generally, issues of shorter maturity and/or higher credit quality pay lower yields than issues of longer maturity and/or lower credit quality. The market values of municipal securities vary depending upon available yields both in the municipal securities markets and in the short-term money markets. Therefore, the net asset value of Fund shares will change as interest rates fluctuate, generally declining as interest rates rise and rising as interest rates fall. The types of municipal securities and the general characteristics of each type are described in the Statement of Additional Information.

All of our single state tax-exempt municipal bond Funds have fundamental policies of investing at least 80% of the value of the assets in securities meeting the following quality standards:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A) Bonds rated at the time of purchase within the four highest grades assigned by U.S. NRSROs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B) Notes rated at the time of purchase within the three highest grades assigned by U.S. NRSROs; and bonds and notes not rated by a recognized rating agency within the grades specified above, but secured by the full faith and credit of the United States government (e.g., refunded or defeased bonds or notes secured by United States Treasury Bills or Notes).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C) No more than 20% of the value of our total assets in any of the Funds will be invested in securities which are not rated. The Trust will not purchase securities which in the opinion of the Adviser would not have been rated in one of the grades specified above. In addition, the Adviser will make its own evaluation of each security it selects for each portfolio and will continue to evaluate each portfolio security so long as we hold it.

As an additional matter of fundamental policy, except as indicated below, the only securities we will purchase for the Funds are those producing income exempt from both federal and state income taxes in the states where the securities were originally issued, though ad valorem taxes may be due in some states**.** The IRS may audit issuers of municipal bonds and, in some cases, may determine that the interest paid on certain municipal bonds that were originally issued as tax-exempt

------

bonds is not excludable from adjusted gross income. We do <u>not</u> purchase securities subject to the AMT for any of our tax-exempt municipal bond Funds.

The only exception to the policies previously described is that the Adviser may temporarily invest up to 50% of the value of our total assets in certain taxable obligations when, in the judgment of our investment adviser, abnormal market conditions make it advantageous to assume a defensive posture in taxable obligations. We also reserve the right to hold such cash reserves as the investment adviser deems necessary for temporary defensive purposes.

The taxable obligations and cash equivalents in which we may invest on a temporary basis include obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies and instrumentalities; certificates of deposit; banker's acceptances and other short-term debt obligations of United States and Canadian banks with total assets of at least $1 billion; commercial paper rated A-2 or better by S&P or Prime-2 or better by Moody's; and repurchase agreements relating to an underlying security in which we are authorized to invest. When investing in taxable obligations and cash equivalents on a short-term basis, our investment objective of producing income exempt from both federal and state income taxes may not be realized.

For the single state tax-exempt municipal bond Funds, we generally purchase municipal securities with maturities that provide the maximum amount of yield to shareholders without incurring undue risk to principal. This strategy generally results in the Income Series Funds having a weighted average nominal maturity of greater than 10 years. Though we typically employ a buy and hold strategy for all of our single state tax-exempt municipal bond funds, bonds are sometimes called by the issuer or sold prior to maturity.

#### Risks
The inherent risk associated with investment in municipal securities is the risk of default. In addition, the net asset value of Fund shares may be impacted by the general economic conditions in the country and/or within the states of Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee, respectively. The limitation of our investments of each Fund to a single state may involve greater risk than if we invested in municipal securities issued by more than one state, due to the possibility of an economic or political development that could uniquely affect the ability of issuers to meet the debt obligations of the securities.

State income is subject to fluctuation on a year-to-year basis and states and issuers within a state may experience significant financial difficulties for various reasons, including adverse tax changes or court rulings, legislative or political changes, market and economic conditions and developments, issuer, industry-specific and the result of events that cannot be reasonably anticipated or controlled such as social conflict or unrest, labor disruption, pandemics, and natural disasters. In addition, state constitutional limits on tax increases, budget

deficits, erosion of the tax base, and other financial difficulties may also pose a risk to timely payment on municipal securities. The value of the Fund's shares will be negatively impacted to the extent it invests in such securities. Municipal securities may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during economic downturns or similar periods of economic stress, which in turn could affect the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of issuers in the state.

For example, a pandemic can significantly stress the financial resources of many municipal issuers, which may impair a municipal issuer's ability to meet its financial obligations when due and may adversely impact the value of its bonds, which could negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Factors contributing to the economic stress on municipal issuers may include an increase in expenses associated with combatting the pandemic and a decrease in revenues supporting the issuer's bonds due to factors such as lower sales tax revenue as a result of decreased consumer spending, lower income tax revenue due to higher unemployment, and a decrease in the value of collateral backing revenue bonds due to closures and/or curtailment of services and/or changes in consumer behavior. In light of the uncertainty surrounding the magnitude, duration, reach, costs and effects of a pandemic, as well as actions that could be taken by governmental authorities or other third parties, it is difficult to predict the level of financial stress and duration of such stress municipal issuers may experience. Changes in an issuer's financial strength or changes in the credit rating assigned to an obligation may affect the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of issuers in that state.

Many municipal securities may be called or redeemed before maturity. Each single state tax-exempt municipal bond fund may have a large amount of its assets invested in securities subject to call risk. If securities are called or redeemed, the proceeds may have to be reinvested in lower yielding securities thereby potentially reducing the series' income and any distribution to shareholders. The weighted average nominal maturity takes into consideration the final maturity of a security only. The effective maturity takes into consideration the possibility that the issuer may call the bond before its maturity date.

State legislatures may also propose legislation to restrict or eliminate the state income tax exemption for interest on municipal bonds or eliminate state income tax altogether. If a state restricts or eliminates the exemption for interest on municipal bonds, the Fund may be unable to achieve its goals. If a state eliminates its income tax altogether, it could adversely affect the marketability of a Fund. It is unknown whether any such tax reform may be introduced in the future and, if introduced, the magnitude of any such tax reform. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding potential changes in tax laws. For additional information, see the section entitled "TAXES" on page 33 of this Prospectus.

------

In addition, different municipal sectors may face different risks. The single state tax-exempt municipal bond Funds may invest in municipal lease obligations, including but not limited to certificates of participation, which may involve additional risks since the relevant legislative body must appropriate public funds annually to make the lease payments. If public funds are not appropriated, municipal lease obligations may be canceled without penalty thereby raising the risk that an investor may not be paid. General obligation bonds are secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the municipality issuing the obligation. As such, timely payment depends on the municipality's ability to raise tax revenue and maintain a fiscally sound budget. The timely payments may also be influenced by any unfunded pension liabilities or other post-employee benefit plan (OPEB) liabilities. Revenue bonds are secured by special tax revenues or other revenue sources. If the specified revenues do not materialize, then the bonds may not be repaid. Private activity bonds are yet another type of municipal security. Municipalities use private activity bonds to finance the development of industrial facilities for use by private enterprise. Principal and interest payments are to be made by the private enterprise benefiting from the development, which means that the holder of the bond is exposed to the risk that the private issuer may default on the bond. Moral obligation bonds are usually issued by special purpose public entities. If the public entity defaults, repayment becomes a "moral obligation" instead of a legal one. The lack of a legally enforceable right to payment in the event of default poses a special risk for a holder of the bond because it has little or no ability to seek recourse in the event of default. Municipal notes are similar to general municipal debt obligations, but they generally possess shorter terms. Municipal notes can be used to provide interim financing and may not be repaid if anticipated revenues are not realized.

Some of the Funds are non-diversified. This means they may invest a larger portion of its assets in a limited number of issuers than a diversified fund. Because a relatively high percentage of a non-diversified Fund's assets may be invested in the securities of a limited number of issuers that could be in the same or related economic sectors, the Fund's portfolio may be more susceptible to any single economic, technological or regulatory occurrence than the portfolio of a diversified fund.

#### State Specific Risk Factors
After experiencing the two fastest growing years on record for general fund revenue in fiscal 2021 and 2022, growth in revenue collections continued to slow in FY 2025. This represented the third consecutive year of slowing revenue collections. Despite this, most states ended FY 2025 above their original and revised revenue forecasts. The revenue surpluses in most states were relatively small and were attributable, in part, to a strong stock market performance in calendar year 2024, low unemployment levels, and lower levels of inflation. Similar to recent years, states are anticipating modest revenue gains in FY 2026.

In 2024, Kentucky's real GDP grew 2.4%; the 2023-2024 national change was 2.8%. In 2024, Kentucky's current dollar GDP was $293 billion and ranked 29th in the United States. The state's annual average unemployment rate at the end of July was 4.9%, which was above the national average of 4.2%. In 2024, Kentucky had a per capita personal income of $57,526 which ranked 47<sup>th</sup> in the United States. Kentucky's appropriation supported debt was rated A1 by Moody's and A by Standard & Poor's as of June 30, 2025.

In 2024, Alabama's real GDP grew 3.0%; the 2023-2024 national change was 2.8%. In 2024, Alabama's current dollar GDP was $321 billion and ranked 27<sup>th</sup> in the United States. The state's average annual unemployment rate at the end of July was 2.8% which was below the national average of 4.3% In 2024, Alabama had a per capita personal income of $56,684 which ranked 48<sup>th</sup> in the United States. Alabama's general obligation ("G.O.") bonds were rated Aa1 by Moody's and AA by Standard & Poor's as of June 30, 2025.

In 2024, Mississippi's real GDP grew 2.4%; the 2023-2024 national change was 2.8%. In 2024, Mississippi's current-dollar GDP was $157 billion and ranked 36<sup>th</sup> in the United States. The state's average annual unemployment rate at the end of July was 4.0% which was below the national average of 4.2%. In 2024, Mississippi had a per capita personal income of $52,017 which ranked 50<sup>th</sup> in the United States. Mississippi's G.O. bonds were rated Aa2 by Moody's and AA by Standard & Poor's as of June 30, 2025.

In 2024, North Carolina's real GDP grew 3.7%; the 2023-2024 national change was 2.8% In 2024, North Carolina's current-dollar GDP was $839 billion and ranked 11<sup>th</sup> in the United States. The state's average annual unemployment rate at the end of July was 3.7% which was below the national average of 4.2%. In 2024, North Carolina had a per capita personal income of $64,855 which ranked 33<sup>rd</sup> in the United States. North Carolina's G.O. bonds were rated Aaa by Moody's and AAA by Standard & Poor's as of June 30, 2025.

In 2024, Tennessee's real GDP grew 2.4%; the 2023-2024 national average changes was 2.8% In 2024, Tennessee's current-dollar GDP was $.550 billion which ranked 17<sup>th</sup> in the United States. The state's annual average unemployment rate at the end of July was 3.6% which was below the national average of 4.2% In 2024, the state had a per capita personal income of $64,908 which ranked 32<sup>nd</sup> in the United States. Tennessee's G.O. bonds were rated Aaa by Moody's and AAA by Standard & Poor's as of June 30, 2025.

It is important to note that economic, budgetary, political, and other considerations within any state are unpredictable and subject to change at any time. A number of states continue to be burdened by large unfunded pension and healthcare obligations. Investors in single-state municipal bond funds should be aware that large unfunded pension and healthcare obligations that are not addressed in a satisfactory manner could potentially result in a state or locality having the credit

------

rating of its bonds downgraded and/or the filing of a bankruptcy petition that would lead to a drop in bond prices and a corresponding increase in yields for any affected securities. Additionally, a number of states have recently reduced their state income tax rates, which makes holding state-specific municipal bond funds less attractive.

#### FURTHER INFORMATION – TAXABLE MUNICIPAL BOND SERIES

#### Investment Objectives and Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide a high level of taxable income derived from taxable municipal bonds without incurring undue risk to principal. The interest earned on these bonds is fully taxable at the federal level and may be taxable at the state level.

Yield on municipal bonds is dependent on a variety of factors, including the maturity and quality of the particular obligation, the size of the total offering, prevailing conditions in the municipal securities markets and general monetary and economic conditions. Generally, issues of shorter maturity and/or higher credit quality pay lower yields than issues of longer maturity and/or lower credit quality. The market values of municipal bonds vary depending upon available yields both in the municipal securities markets and in the short-term money markets. Therefore, the net asset value of Fund shares will change as interest rates rise and fall. The types of municipal bonds and the general characteristics of each type are described in the Statement of Additional Information.

The Taxable Municipal Bond Fund has a fundamental policy of investing at least 80% of the value of the assets in taxable municipal bonds meeting the following quality standards:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A) Bonds rated at the time of purchase within the four highest grades assigned by U.S. NRSROs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B) Notes rated at the time of purchase within the three highest grades assigned by U.S. NRSROs; and bonds and notes not recognized by U.S. NRSROs within the grades specified above but secured by the full faith and credit of the United States government (e.g., refunded or defeased bonds or notes secured by United States Treasury bills or Notes).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C) No more than 20% of the value of our total assets in the Fund will be invested in bonds which are not rated. The Trust will not purchase bonds which in the opinion of the investment adviser would not have been rated in one of the grades specified above. In addition, the Adviser will make its own investment evaluation of each bond it purchases for the portfolio of the Fund and will continue to evaluate each portfolio security so long as we hold it.

As an additional matter of fundamental policy, except as indicated below, the only securities we will purchase for the Fund's portfolio are those producing income taxable at the federal level and which may be taxable at the state level.

The investment policies may not be changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The only exception to the policies previously described is that the Adviser may temporarily invest up to 50% of the value of the Fund's total assets in certain non-municipal taxable obligations such as U.S. Treasury securities; certificates of deposit; bankers acceptances and other short-term obligations of the United States and Canadian banks with total assets of at least $1 billion; commercial paper rated A-2 or better by S&P or Prime-2 or better by Moody's; and repurchase agreements relating to an underlying security in which we are authorized to invest. When investing in taxable obligations and cash equivalents on a short-term basis, our investment objective of realizing a high level of current income may not be realized.

The Fund will normally have an average weighted maturity of greater than 10 years. The Fund anticipates purchasing taxable municipal bonds with nominal maturities typically ranging from 10-30 years. Although we generally employ a buy and hold strategy for the Fund, bonds are sometimes called by the issuer or sold prior to maturity. We may purchase bonds subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax for our Taxable Municipal Bond Series.

#### Risks
The inherent risk associated with investment in taxable municipal bonds is the risk of default. In addition, the NAV of Fund shares may be impacted by the general economic conditions in the country and/or within the various states in which we purchase taxable municipal bonds. State income is subject to fluctuation on a year-to-year basis. Changes in an issuer's financial strength on changes in the credit rating assigned to a bond may also affect the value of that bond. Consequently, the downgrading of the credit quality of a bond may result in a decrease in share price. State constitutional limits on tax increases, budget deficits, erosion of the tax base, and other financial difficulties may also pose a risk to timely payment on bonds.

Municipal bonds may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during economic downturns or similar periods of economic stress, which in turn could affect the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of issuers in the state. For example, a pandemic can significantly stress the financial resources of many municipal issuers, which may impair a municipal issuer's ability to meet its financial obligations when due and may adversely impact the value of its bonds, which could negatively impact the performance of the fund. Factors contributing to the economic stress on municipal issuers may include an increase in expenses associated with combatting a pandemic and a decrease in revenues supporting

the issuer's bonds due to factors such as lower sales tax

------

revenue as a result of decreased consumer spending, lower income tax revenue due to higher unemployment, and a decrease in the value of collateral backing revenue bonds due to closures and/or curtailment of services and/or changes in consumer behavior. In light of the uncertainty surrounding the magnitude, duration, reach, costs and effects of a pandemic, as well as actions that could be taken by governmental authorities or other third parties, it is difficult to predict the level of financial stress and duration of such stress municipal issuers may experience. Changes in an issuer's financial strength or changes in the credit rating assigned to an obligation may affect the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of issuers in that state.

Many taxable municipal bonds may be called or redeemed before maturity. The Fund may have a large amount of assets invested in bonds subject to call risk. If bonds are called or redeemed, the proceeds may have to be reinvested in lower yielding bonds thereby potentially reducing the Fund's income and any distribution to shareholders. The weighted average nominal maturity takes into consideration the final maturity of a bond only. The effective maturity takes into consideration the possibility that the issuer may call the bond before its maturity date. The Fund may also invest in taxable municipal lease obligations, including but not limited to certificates of participation, which may involve additional risks since the relevant legislative body must appropriate public funds annually to make the lease payments. If public funds are not appropriated, taxable municipal lease obligations may be canceled without penalty thereby raising the risk that an investor may not be paid.

Build America Bonds may be less liquid than other types of municipal obligations. Less liquid bonds can become more difficult to value and illiquidity may negatively affect prices of bonds held in the portfolio. Because issuers of direct pay Build America Bonds have to meet certain requirements to receive a reimbursement from the U.S. Treasury, there is always the possibility that such requirements may not be met by the issuer and as a result, Build America Bonds may be less liquid than other types of municipal obligations. Under such a scenario, there is a risk that the reimbursement from the U.S. Treasury may be interrupted which may be a problem if the funds are pledged to service the debt of the underlying direct pay Build America Bonds. Additionally, if issuers owe money to the federal government, the reimbursement from the U.S. Treasury may be subject to an "offset" which could potentially reduce the amount of money available to service debt payments on direct pay Build America Bonds. Additionally, under the Budget Control Act of 2011, the Congressionally mandated sequestration process has resulted in a delay or reduction in the payments to some issuers of Build America Bonds. Any interruption, delay, reduction, and/or offset of the reimbursement from the U.S Treasury may reduce the demand for such direct pay Build America Bonds and/or potentially trigger extraordinary call features of the bonds. This may, in turn, reduce market prices and cause the value of Fund shares to fall.

#### FURTHER INFORMATION – INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT BOND SERIES

#### Investment Objectives and Strategies
The Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income without incurring undue risk to principal by investing at least 80% of the value of our total assets in a professionally managed diversified portfolio of bonds: (1) issued by the U.S. Government such as U.S. Treasury Bonds; or (2) issued by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government, such as, but not limited to, obligations of the Federal Farm Credit Banks, the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), and the Federal Home Loan Bank. The remaining assets may be invested in bank accounts fully insured by the FDIC or collateralized by bonds described in 1) and 2); repurchase agreements fully collateralized by bonds described in 1) and 2); and U.S. Treasury or Agency Notes and Bills. The types of bonds the Series invests in and a discussion of their characteristics are described in the Statement of Additional Information.

U.S. Government bonds may be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, the right to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, or the right to borrow from the agency or instrumentality issuing or guaranteeing the security. Certain issuers of U.S. Government bonds, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks, are sponsored or chartered by Congress but their bonds are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Ginnie Mae bonds are U.S. Government bonds which represent interests in pools of mortgage loans. The principal and interest payments on Ginnie Mae bonds are fully guaranteed by the U.S. Government.

#### Risks
Generally speaking, U.S. Government bonds are high quality securities. However, as with any investment, there are risks associated with investing in U.S. Government bonds. The yield on U.S. Government bonds is dependent on a variety of factors, including the maturity and quality of the particular obligation, the size of the total offering, prevailing conditions in the U.S. Government securities markets and general monetary and economic conditions. Generally, issues of shorter maturity and/or higher quality pay lower yields than issues of longer maturity and/or lower quality. The market values of U.S. Government bonds vary depending upon available yields both in the U.S. Government bond markets and in the short-term money markets. Therefore, the NAV of the Fund's shares will change as interest rates fluctuate, generally declining as interest rates rise and rising as interest rates fall. Typically, the longer the maturity of a bond, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on a bond's price.

------

Changes in an issuer's financial strength or changes in the credit rating assigned to a bond may also affect the value of that bond. Many U.S. Government bonds may be called or redeemed before maturity. The Intermediate Government Bond Series may have a large amount of its assets invested in bonds subject to call risk. If bonds are called or redeemed, the proceeds may have to be reinvested in lower yielding bonds thereby potentially reducing the series' income and any distribution to shareholders. Neither the Fund's share price nor its yield is guaranteed by the U.S. Government.

The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, such as the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the "full faith and credit" of the U.S. government and generally have negligible credit risk. Securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies or authorities and U.S. government-sponsored instrumentalities or enterprises may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Securities issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac are not issued directly by the U.S. government. Ginnie Mae is a wholly owned U.S. corporation that is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, the timely payment of principal and interest of its securities. By contrast, securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. No assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if not required to do so by law.

The value of the securities in which the Fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect the fund. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies world-wide. Recent examples include pandemics and aggressive measures taken world-wide in response by governments, including closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and the imposition of prolonged quarantines of large populations, and by businesses, including changes to operations and reducing staff.

#### ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE TRUST

#### Investment Adviser and Advisory Agreements
The Funds' investment activities are managed by Dupree & Company, Inc. (Dupree or Adviser), P.O. Box 1149, Lexington, Kentucky 40588-1149. Dupree was formed in 1962 to continue a business originally founded in 1941. Dupree also serves as transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent, and fund accountant. Dupree (or its subsidiary) has served as the investment adviser for all Series of the Trust since inception in 1979 as the Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series.

The Adviser serves as the investment adviser for each of the seven Funds pursuant to separate Investment Advisory Agreements with each Fund. Each Investment Advisory Agreement will continue in effect until October 31, 2025, and may be continued thereafter for annual periods if renewed. Subject to the direction of the Board, the Adviser is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The compensation paid to the Adviser is inclusive of certain administrative services and the provision of office space, facilities, equipment, and personnel for management of the Trust and the Funds. The compensation paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreements is a percentage of the daily net assets of each Fund as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  Range of Total Assets (in dollars) | $0-100000000 | 100000001-<br>$150000000 | 150000001-<br>$500000000 | 500000001<br>$750000000 |
|  All Municipal Bond Series | 0.50 of 1% | 0.45 of 1% | 0.40 of 1% | 0.35 of 1% |

Dupree has reserved the right to voluntarily waive management fees or assume and pay other expenses of any Fund at its sole option and will not seek to recover any such amounts. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the aggregate advisory fees paid to the Adviser (after waivers and fee or expense reductions) as a percentage of average net assets was:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  Alabama Tax-Free Income Series | 0.34 of 1% |
|  Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series | 0.40 of 1% |
|  Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series | 0.07 of 1% |
|  North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series | 0.47 of 1% |

------

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board's approval of the Investment Advisory Agreements with Dupree is available in the Semi-Annual Report for the period ended December 31, 2024, which is available free of charge upon request. The Semi-Annual Report is also available on the Trust's website which is located at <u>www.dupree-funds.com</u>.

In addition, the Trust has entered into a Transfer Agent and Dividend Disbursing Agent Service Agreement with Dupree. The Transfer Agent and Dividend Disbursing Agent Service Agreement provides for a fee computed on the average daily net asset value of each Fund at the annual rate of 0.15 of 1% on the first $20,000,000 and 0.12 of 1% of all amounts in excess of $20,000,000. Dupree may, at its sole cost and expense, enter into sub-shareholder servicing agreements with commercial banks, investment advisers, or other entities to provide assistance in maintaining books, accounts and records of shareholders advised by those entities.

#### Fund Portfolio Manager
Vincent Harrison serves as lead portfolio manager for all seven Funds in the Trust. Mr. Harrison has been portfolio manager of the Trust since 2004. The portfolio manager does not manage any other accounts other than the Funds. The Statement of Additional Information provides additional information about the portfolio manager's compensation and ownership in securities of the Funds.

#### DETERMINING NET ASSET VALUE
The price used when you buy or sell shares in a Fund is the next net asset value computed after receipt of your order in proper form. The net asset value per share of each Fund is determined separately at the close of the market, generally 4:00 p.m. ET each weekday the Trust is open for business, by dividing the total value of the assets of a Fund, minus liabilities, by the total number of shares outstanding.

The Trust is closed on the following holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day and Veterans Day. The above listed closing dates correspond with the dates the bond market is closed in the U.S.

On any business day when the markets close early, we will close and calculate each Fund's NAV at the market closing time. On those days when the market has an early close, any purchase and/or redemption orders received after the close will be processed and become effective on the next business day at the then prevailing NAV. We may elect to remain open on those dates which there are an early or full market close.

Purchase and sales orders accepted after the Trust's order cut-off time (market close) will be effective the following business day at the NAV computed on the following day.

Since all of the Funds are no-load, a sales charge or commission does not reduce the value of your investment in

any of the Funds. The securities in which we invest are traded primarily on the over-the-counter market. The Board has appointed Dupree & Company, Inc. as the Trust's "Valuation Designee". The Valuation Designee values in good faith municipal securities (tax-exempt and taxable) in accord with the Board approved Dupree Municipal Valuation System. The Dupree Municipal Valuation System is designed to determine the expected price that would be received for each municipal security held by the Trust if that security were to be sold in an arms-length transaction on each day. The Valuation Designee will value each municipal security based initially on original purchase price. On subsequent days, the municipal security will be assigned the current market value calculated by the Dupree Municipal Valuation System. The prices generated for each municipal security by the Dupree Municipal Valuation System are compared, on a weekly basis, with yields and prices obtained from independent pricing services and other municipal securities valuation services. A municipal security valuation that is not supported by a valuation source requires management to value the municipal security in accordance with procedures approved by the Valuation Committee.

The securities held in the Intermediate Government Bond Series are priced daily utilizing prices from an independent pricing service or other securities valuation services. The prices are examined by the Valuation Designee for accuracy and daily price changes are evaluated, modified, or challenged as appropriate.

Further discussion of "Determining Net Asset Value" may be found in the Trust's Statement of Additional Information.

#### DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS
We do not impose any sales loads, including deferred sales loads, front-end sales loads, loads on reinvestments of dividends or other distributions, redemption fees, exchange fees or account fees. Accordingly, there are no arrangements to offer breakpoints or special arrangements available to any prospective or existing shareholder to reduce or eliminate loads. Fund shares are sold directly by the Trust and there are no distribution plans under Rule 12b-1.

Dupree & Company, Inc. as the shareholder servicing agent may enter into sub-shareholder servicing arrangements with registered investment advisers, trusts and other financial institutions. Shareholders of the Trust are not charged any fees in connection with any sub-shareholder servicing arrangements. Any entity with which Dupree & Company, Inc. enters into a sub-shareholder servicing agreement is required to comply with all provisions of the Trust's Privacy Policy.

#### GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY
Dupree Mutual Funds is an open-end, no-load mutual fund family that offers shares in separate investment Series (hereinafter "Fund" or "Funds") to the public. We have been in continuous operation since 1979, first as the Kentucky Tax-Free Income Fund, Inc. and in our current form since 1987. We were organized as a Kentucky Business Trust on July 1, 1987, as the successor to the trust organized in 1979. We currently offer no-load mutual fund shares in seven Funds that invest in professionally managed bond portfolios. The Alabama Tax-Free Income Series, the Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series, the North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series, the Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series, and the Intermediate Government Bond Series are diversified Funds. The Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series and the Taxable Municipal Bond Series are non-diversified Funds. Our investment adviser for each Fund is Dupree & Company, Inc. Dupree & Company, Inc. is a Lexington, Kentucky firm with more than 60 years of experience in managing, underwriting and trading Kentucky municipal securities.

At the close of business on May 16, 2025, all of the assets of the Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series, the North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series and the Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series (collectively the "Short-to-Medium Series") were transferred to the Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series, the North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series and the Tennessee Tax Free Income Series, respectively. Shareholders of each Short-to-Medium Series received shares of the corresponding Income Series equal in U.S. dollar value. The reorganization was a non-taxable event for shareholders.

#### INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
As stated in our Prospectus, the investment objective for each of our seven Funds is to realize a high and stable level of income without incurring undue risk to principal. Five of the seven Funds we offer invest in bond portfolios consisting of tax-exempt municipal bonds issued in a single state. These Funds (with only minor exceptions) invest in municipal bonds from Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina or Tennessee, respectively, in order to provide interest income exempt from federal income tax, including the alternative minimum tax, and in certain states, from state income tax as well. Investors should consult our Prospectus for a description of the investment objectives of these Funds and the manner in which these Funds seek to achieve their objectives.

Our Taxable Municipal Bond Series seeks to provide a high and stable level of taxable income derived from taxable municipal bonds without incurring undue risk to principal. The interest earned on these bonds is fully taxable at the federal level and may be subject to tax at the state level. Investors should consult our Prospectus for a description of the investment objectives of this Fund and the manner in which this Fund seeks to achieve its objectives.

Our Intermediate Government Bond Series seeks to provide a high and stable level of taxable income derived from bonds issued by the U.S. Government and its agencies and instrumentalities without incurring undue risk to principal. The interest earned on these bonds is fully taxable at the federal level and may be subject to tax at the state level. Investors should consult our Prospectus for a description of the investment objectives of this Fund and the manner in which this Fund seeks to achieve its objectives.

We have established a number of investment policies and restrictions to help ensure that the investments of each Fund are consistent with its investment goals. Certain of these policies are deemed "fundamental," meaning that they are subject to change only upon approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the affected Fund. "Non-fundamental policies" may be changed without a vote of the shareholders. The fundamental policies of each of the Funds are set forth below and in the "Investment Restrictions" section that follows. As used in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information, with respect to any matter requiring shareholder approval, whether it be shareholder approval within an affected Fund or the shareholders of the Trust, the phrase "majority of the outstanding voting securities" means the vote at a meeting of (i) 67% or more of the shares present or represented, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the affected Fund are present in person or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the affected Fund, whichever is less.

------

As stated in our Prospectus, the investment objective for our five single state tax-exempt municipal bond Funds is to realize a high and stable level of tax-exempt income as determined by a shareholder's state of residence without incurring undue risk to principal. In general, interest income derived from municipal bonds is exempt from federal income tax (including alternative minimum tax) and, for residents in certain of the states in which we offer shares, from state income tax as well. Accordingly, as a matter of fundamental policy, these Funds invest in tax-exempt issues from a single state (Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina or Tennessee) in order to maximize the tax exemption available to shareholders in certain states where our shares are offered. The only exception to this policy is that, when abnormal market conditions warrant doing so, we may from time to time invest in taxable securities on a temporary basis. Investors should consult our Prospectus and the "Tax Information" section that follows for a more complete discussion of the tax consequences of these investment policies.

The Alabama Tax-Free Income Series, the Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series, the North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series, the Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series and the Intermediate Government Bond Series maintain diversified portfolios, while the Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series and the Taxable Municipal Bond Series maintain non-diversified portfolios. Compared to a diversified portfolio, a non-diversified portfolio may invest a higher percentage of its assets among fewer issuers of securities. This increases a non-diversified Fund's risk by magnifying the impact (positively or negatively) that any one issuer may have on the Fund's share price and performance.

For each of the single-state tax-exempt municipal bond funds, at least 80% of the Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina or Tennessee municipal securities we purchase must be municipal bonds within the four highest grades (investment grade) assigned by U.S. nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) at the time of purchase; or municipal notes rated at the time of purchase within the three highest grades assigned by U.S. NRSROs, or Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina or Tennessee municipal bonds and notes not rated within the grades specified above, but secured by the full faith and credit of the United States Government (i.e., pre-refunded municipal bonds collateralized by U.S. Government securities). A description of the general characteristics of the municipal securities qualifying for ratings specified above follows.

No more than 20% of the value of our total assets in each of the Alabama Tax-Free Income Series, the Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series, the Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series, the North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series, or the Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series will be invested in securities which are not rated, but which, in the opinion of our investment adviser, would have been rated as investment grade if the issuers had sought a rating at the time of issuance. Issuers may elect not to secure a rating for an issue if it is not needed to effectuate the sale of the issue or for cost reasons.

The ratings described below reflect the opinions of the NRSROs as to the quality of the municipal securities they undertake to rate. As such, the ratings represent broad guidelines rather than absolute standards of quality. You should also bear in mind that credit rating services usually rate an issue of municipal securities at the time it is first offered to the public, and once issued, a rating is seldom updated unless and until the municipal issuer makes a further offering of its securities. Our investment adviser will make its own evaluation of each security it selects for our portfolios and will continue to evaluate each portfolio security so long as we hold it.

#### Ratings of Municipal Notes and Bonds
NRSROs denote quality ratings in descending alphabetic order with the highest quality securities having a rating of "AAA" or "Aaa." Securities rated "AAA" or "Aaa" are considered the highest quality credits and the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is extremely strong. Securities rated "AA" or "Aa" are considered high quality credits with some elements that would make long-term risks appear somewhat larger, but the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong. Securities rated "A" are considered as safe upper medium grade investment grade obligations that are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong. Securities rated "BBB" or "Baa" are considered medium grade**,** neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present, but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over a great length of time. Some credit rating agencies may denote ratings on municipal notes in a numeric order with a one ("1") being the best quality**;** a two ("2") representing high quality with margins of protection ample, although not so large as in the preceding group**;** and a three ("3") representing favorable quality, with all security elements accounted for, but lacking the undeniable strength of the preceding grades. Market access for refinancing, in particular, is likely to be less well established.

#### Description of Municipal Bonds
Municipal bonds are obligations issued by a state, its political subdivisions, and the districts, authorities, agencies and instrumentalities of the state and its political subdivisions, the interest of which is generally exempt from federal and state income taxes, for residents of the states which issue the securities.

Municipal bonds are issued for various public purposes including the construction of airports, highways, housing, hospitals, pollution abatement facilities, schools, streets, water and sewer works, gas and electric utilities and university buildings. Municipal issuers can issue bonds for the purposes of refunding outstanding obligations, obtaining funds to finance other public institutions and meeting general operating expenses. Industrial building revenue bonds, which are considered municipal bonds if the interest paid thereon is exempt from federal and state income taxes, are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to finance construction of privately operated facilities such as manufacturing plants, housing, sports arenas and pollution control installations. Our investments in industrial building revenue bonds are subject to the restrictions set forth in Paragraph 10 of the "Investment Restrictions."

There are different types of municipal bonds. "General obligation" bonds are secured by the issuer's pledge of its full faith, honor, credit and/or taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. "Revenue" bonds are payable from and secured by a particular revenue stream, such as lease rentals, utility usage and connection charges, student registration or housing fees, bridge or highway tolls, parking fees, sports event gate receipts, etc. Although municipal authorities issue industrial building revenue bonds, revenues derived from a lease rental contract with a non-governmental user typically secure them. Some revenue bonds, including industrial building revenue bonds, are secured by a mortgage on the rental property. Improvement assessment bonds are obligations secured by a special assessment (e.g., a sewer charge) that the governmental issuer imposes on each owner of property benefited by the improvement (e.g., a sanitary sewer project). The assessments are similar to taxes and have a priority that is similar to a tax lien. "Refunded" or "defeased" bonds are secured by an escrow fund which, usually, is invested in United States Government securities and occasionally in bank certificates of deposit or similar instruments. Housing bonds are usually secured by mortgages that the issuer acquires and pledges for the payment of the bonds. Local housing authorities sometimes issue bonds that are secured by rentals from the operation of a housing project. Housing bonds may also have additional security in the form of federal guarantees of the mortgages or rentals constituting the primary security.

Because of constitutional limitations, the Commonwealth of Kentucky cannot enter into a financial obligation of more than two years' duration. Municipal issuers within the Commonwealth cannot enter into a financial obligation of more than one year's duration. As a consequence, the payment and security arrangements applicable to Kentucky revenue bonds differ significantly from those generally applicable to municipal revenue bonds in other states. Many city and county construction projects are financed through bonds that are nominally issued in the name of a public corporation that holds title to the project and leases the project back to the city or county on a year-to-year renewable basis. In this situation, the rent that the nominal issuer receives from the actual user of the property financed by the bonds is the only source of any security for the payment of the bonds, so that a failure by the user to renew the lease in any year will put the bonds into default. Revenue bonds issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky are not a direct obligation of the state.

At times, we may purchase municipal bonds when a new issue is being offered in an underwriting, at which time the securities are offered on a "when-issued" basis, meaning that the delivery date is unknown. This means we would commit to purchase the securities at an agreed price to be paid at the time of delivery, usually in 30 to 45 days. During the period prior to delivery, we will not have paid for the securities and will not receive interest on them. There is a slight risk that such securities will not be delivered. It is also possible that by the delivery date, due to changing market conditions, the market value of the securities will be higher or lower than the price we have committed to pay. We do not intend to make when-issued purchase commitments for speculative purposes, but only to accomplish our investment objectives. During any such period in which assets are identified to meet a "when-issued" purchase commitment, we will ordinarily sell other assets not so identified if sales are necessary to meet shareholder redemption requests. In the unlikely event that it becomes necessary for us to sell when-issued securities before delivery, any resulting gain or loss would not be tax-exempt.

Unlike other types of investments, municipal bonds traditionally have not been subject to registration and/or regulation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). However, there have been proposals that could lead to future regulation of municipal securities by the SEC. The amount of information available about municipal bonds is generally less than that for corporate bonds or equities and the investment performance of our Funds that invest in municipal bonds may be more dependent on the analytical abilities of the investment adviser than would be the case for a stock fund or corporate bond fund. The investment adviser will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making

------

investment decisions for the Funds, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. The secondary market for municipal bonds also tends to be less well developed and less liquid than many other securities markets.

#### Taxable Municipal Bond Series
The Fund seeks to provide a high and stable level of taxable income derived from taxable municipal bonds without incurring undue risk to principal. The taxable municipal bonds held in this portfolio will be of investment grade quality (those rated "BBB" or "Baa" or higher by U.S. NRSROs at the time of purchase) with a weighted average nominal maturity normally ranging from 10-30 years. The interest earned on these securities is fully taxable at the federal level and may be subject to tax at the state level.

The Fund may also invest in taxable municipal bonds issued pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the "Act") or other legislation providing for the issuance of taxable municipal debt on which the issuer receives federal support ("Build America Bonds"). Enacted in February 2009, the Act authorized state and local governments to issue taxable bonds for which, provided certain specified conditions are met, issuers may either (i) receive reimbursement from the U.S. Treasury with respect to the interest payments on the bonds ("direct pay" Build America Bonds) or (ii) provide tax credits to investors in bonds ("tax credit" Build America Bonds). The federal interest subsidy on direct pay Build America Bonds continues for the life of the bonds. Build America Bonds provide an alternative form of financing to state and local governments and, in certain cases, may provide a lower net cost of funds to issuers.

The Taxable Municipal Bond Series will maintain a non-diversified portfolio. In periods of normal market conditions either (1) the Fund's assets will be invested so that at least 80% of the income will be taxable or (2) the Fund will have at least 80% of its net assets invested in taxable municipal bonds. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in bonds other than taxable municipal bonds, including but not limited to: U.S. Treasury securities, and securities and obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities.

Unlike most other municipal bonds, interest received on Build America Bonds is subject to federal income tax and may be subject to state tax. Issuance of Build America Bonds ceased on December 31, 2010, as Congress declined to extend the provisions of the Act. As such, at the present time issuers are <u>not</u> able to issue additional Build America Bonds. However, Build America Bonds continue to be actively traded in the secondary market.

The Fund does not invest in any "tax credit" bonds authorized by the Act. As such, the Fund does not expect to receive or pass through to shareholders tax credits as a result of investments.

#### Intermediate Government Bond Series
As stated in our Prospectus, the Fund seeks to provide a high and stable level of income without incurring undue risk to principal by investing in a portfolio consisting of: 1) bonds issued by the U.S. Government such as U.S. Treasury Notes and Bills; 2) bonds issued by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government such as obligations of the Federal Farm Credit Banks, the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Government National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Bank; 3) bank accounts fully insured by the FDIC or collateralized by federal government or federal agency bonds; and 4) repurchase agreements fully collateralized by issues of the U.S. Government or its agencies. The Intermediate Government Bond Series will maintain a diversified portfolio as described in our Prospectus and in the "Investment Restrictions" section below.

#### INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
We have adopted certain investment restrictions that may not be changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the affected Fund. Under these restrictions, we may **not** take any of the following actions with respect to each fund:

With respect to 75% of the value of our total assets as of the close of each fiscal quarter, purchase the securities of any single issuer (except the United States Government, its agencies and instrumentalities), if, as a result, more than 5% of the value of our total assets would be invested in securities of such issuer (including repurchase agreements with any one bank). For this purpose, the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and <u>North Carolina</u> each political subdivision of each state, and each district, authority, agency or instrumentality of each state or any of either state's political subdivisions, will be deemed to be a separate issuer.

------

2. Borrow money, except from banks as a temporary measure for purposes of meeting redemption requests and then only in an amount not exceeding 5% of the value of our total assets.

3. Pledge or hypothecate any of our assets, except as security for a permissible temporary bank borrowing (see Restriction 2), and then only in an amount not exceeding 15% of the value of our total assets.

#### NON-FUNDAMENTAL RESTRICTIONS
None of the single state tax-exempt municipal bond Funds will invest in certificates of deposit or banker's acceptances.

These restrictions are "non-fundamental" investment policies of the affected Funds. As such, they may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the **"Board")** without a vote of shareholders of the affected Series.

#### Borrowing of Money
Each Fund permits borrowing money from banks as a temporary measure in order to pay redeeming shareholders. Such borrowings may not be in excess of 5% of the value of the assets of the affected fund.

#### DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The Trust regularly discloses its portfolio securities in its Semi-Annual and Annual Reports, which are available on our website at <u>www.dupree-funds.com</u> and in its semi-annual filings on Form N-CSR filed with the SEC. The Statement of Additional Information and the Form N-CSR may be accessed on the EDGAR database through the SEC website at <u>http://www.sec.gov</u>. The Trust is also required to disclose in filings with the SEC each Fund's complete portfolio holdings within 60 days after the end of the first and third fiscal quarters. Such quarterly holdings reports filed with the SEC are not distributed to fund shareholders but are available, free of charge, on the EDGAR database on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The Trust's portfolio securities are not listed separately on the Trust's website. When and if requested by various publications or evaluation services such as *Standard & Poor's*, *Thomson Financial Services, Morningstar<sup>®</sup>,* or *Lipper* or upon request of a shareholder or prospective shareholder, the Trust will disclose a then current listing of portfolio securities. The Trust does not differentiate among categories of persons who may wish to receive a listing of portfolio securities, and imposes no conditions upon use of the information. The Trust's President or a Vice President is authorized to provide a listing of portfolio securities as of dates which differ from the dates utilized to prepare routine reports and filings. The Trust has no ongoing arrangements with any person or entity to make available information about the Trust's portfolio securities. The Officers of the Trust report to the Board any requests for portfolio securities listings that are not already publicly available. Neither the Trust nor the investment adviser receives compensation for providing the listings of portfolio securities.

#### INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
Dupree & Company, Inc. serves as the investment adviser for each of our ten Funds pursuant to separate Investment Advisory Agreements with each Fund. The Investment Advisory Agreements for the Funds are each dated November 1, 2014, and have been renewed annually thereafter. Each Advisory Agreement may be continued from year to year if such continuation is specifically approved, at least annually, by our Board at a meeting called for that purpose, or by a separate vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the respective Fund, and, in either case, also by vote of a majority of our Trustees. The Advisory Agreements are subject to termination by either party without penalty on 60 days written notice to the other and terminate automatically in the event of assignment. Dupree & Company, Inc. served as the investment adviser to Kentucky Tax-Free Income Fund, Inc. from inception through October 31, 1986, when Dupree Investment Advisers, Inc., a subsidiary of Dupree & Company, Inc., began serving as the investment adviser. In 1997**,** the two Dupree firms reorganized and the parent firm, Dupree & Company, Inc. once again became the investment adviser without any change in personnel or services.

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreements, Dupree & Company, Inc. provides us with investment supervisory services, office space and facilities, and corporate administration. Specifically, Dupree & Company, Inc. has undertaken to obtain and evaluate relevant information regarding the economy, industries, businesses, municipal issuers, securities markets and securities; to formulate a continuing program for the management of our assets in a manner consistent with our investment objectives; and to implement this program by selecting the securities to be purchased or sold by us and placing orders for such purchases and sales. In addition, Dupree & Company, Inc. provides for our office needs, maintains our books and records, assumes and pays all sales and promotional expenses incurred in the distribution of our shares out of its own resources without reimbursement from the Trust, staffs us with persons competent to perform all of our executive and administrative functions, supervises and coordinates the activities of our institutional and other agents (e.g., custodian, independent accountants, outside legal counsel), and permits its officers and employees to serve us as officers to the Trust, all without additional cost to us.

#### OFFICERS AND TRUSTEES
The Board is comprised of three persons, James C. Baughman, Jr., and Marc A. Mathews who are independent Trustees (that is, they are not "interested persons" as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act.), and Allen E. Grimes, III, who is an "interested person" because he is employed by Dupree & Company, Inc.

The Board meets on a quarterly basis to discuss, review and act upon business matters of the Trust. On a quarterly basis the Trustees review financial statements, dividends declared, portfolio pricing and variances, compliance subjects, brokerage allocations and selections, and adopt, ratify or amend policies. On a weekly basis the Trustees are apprised of the total investments in each portfolio and yield information. As set forth in the Declaration of Trust filed pursuant to the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the Trustees manage the business of the Trust: appointing and removing officers, agents, consultants and employees; selecting advisers, depositories, custodians, distributors, underwriters and others; and delegating responsibilities to officers and/or committees of the Trust or employees, advisers, agents or others. The Board adopts general policy and charges Dupree & Company, Inc. with responsibility for daily investment, shareholder servicing and management decisions. The Board oversees risks to the Trust through the services of the independent auditors of the Trust and the Trust's Compliance Officer. The Trustees have engaged the independent auditors to conduct agreed upon review of management practices. In addition, the Trustees receive quarterly reports of compliance risks from both management and the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer.

------

The Board has three standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Nominating and Governance Committee, and a Valuation Committee. All independent Trustees are members of the Audit Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee and Valuation Committee. The Audit Committee of the Board meets semi-annually, or more often if needed to oversee the Trust's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements related to its accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and its internal control over financial reporting, and to select and oversee the work of any independent registered public accounting firm employed by the Trust for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report. During the most recently completed fiscal year the Audit Committee met twice. The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Trust meets annually to determine Trustee compensation and as needed to nominate persons to serve on the Board. During the most recently completed fiscal year, the Nominating Committee met once. The Nominating Committee reviews Trustee compensation and nominates individuals to serve as both independent and interested Trustees of the Trust. The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by security holders when a vacancy occurs. Any security holder may write to the Trust, identifying a nominee and describing the nominee's qualifications. In addition, the Trustees meet quarterly without management to discuss Trust business and the oversight responsibilities of the Trustees, including compliance matters. The Valuation Committee's purpose is to review and approve the Trust's Valuation Policies and Procedures and to review any securities that are fair valued by the Valuation Designee. The Valuation Designee makes fair value determinations in good faith and in accordance with the Trust's Valuation Policies and Procedures and reports to the Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee met once during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

Set forth below is certain biographical information about the Trustees including a description of the specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led to the conclusion that the person should serve as a member of the Board in light of the Trust's business and structure.

The two independent Trustees were paid $10,000 for the first, second and third quarters and $11,000 for the fourth quarter. Mr. Grimes does not receive any compensation from the Trust for serving as Trustee.

#### CODE OF ETHICS
Dupree Mutual Funds and Dupree & Company, Inc. have adopted Codes of Ethics applicable to all Trustees, Officers and access persons. Personnel subject to the Codes of Ethics are permitted to invest in securities that may be purchased or held by the Trust; however, such securities transactions must be disclosed on a quarterly basis. Personnel are permitted to invest in the Trust.

#### PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Ordinarily, portfolio securities for each Fund are purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting fees or from primary market makers acting as principals and selling to us at net prices. In either case, we would not pay any brokerage commission. Transactions placed with dealers serving as primary market makers are executed at prices within the spread between the bid and asked prices for the securities.

Decisions with respect to the purchase and sale of our portfolio securities, including the allocation of principal business and portfolio brokerage, are made by our investment adviser, Dupree & Company, Inc. Our investment adviser has discretionary authority to implement these decisions by placing orders for the purchase or sale of securities for our account with underwriters, dealers or brokers selected by it for that purpose. However, Dupree & Company, Inc. will not deal with us as principal, or as our agent, in purchasing and selling securities for our accounts. Sales of securities for the Trust's portfolios, as well as allocation of brokerage, are reviewed quarterly by the Board. Each of these sale trades are either an exclusive offering or the high bid on bonds for sale. Each is reviewed by the Board on an individual basis.

Dupree & Company, Inc. has advised us that, in placing orders for the purchase and sale of our portfolio transactions, it will seek execution at the most favorable prices through responsible brokers consistent with Dupree & Company, Inc.'s best execution obligations. In selecting brokers to execute portfolio transactions Dupree & Company, Inc. will give consideration to such factors as the price of the security, the rate of commission, if any, and the size and difficulty of the order. The reliability, integrity, financial conditions, general execution and operating capabilities of competing brokers will also be taken into consideration when placing purchase and sale orders.

Dupree & Company, Inc. has further advised us that it does not presently intend to award brokerage on our portfolios to brokers who charge higher commissions because of research services they provide. However, under our Investment Advisory Agreements with it, we have authorized the investment adviser to adopt a brokerage allocation policy embodying the concepts of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under such a policy, a broker furnishing research services could be paid a higher commission than the commission that would be paid to another broker which either does not furnish research services or furnishes research services deemed to be of lesser value, if such higher commission is deemed to be reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by the broker charging it, either in terms of that particular transaction or in terms of the overall responsibilities of the Investment Adviser with respect to the accounts as to which it exercises investment discretion. Research services furnished by a broker can include valuation of the market prices of securities in the Trust's portfolios, evaluation of potential additions to the Trust's portfolios and credit analysis of particular issuers of securities.

------

Whether and to what extent net prices or commissions charged by brokers selected by Dupree & Company, Inc., reflect an element of value for research services cannot presently be determined. To the extent that research services of value are provided by brokers with or through which the investment adviser places our portfolio transactions, the investment adviser may be relieved of expenses it might otherwise bear.

It is not the practice of Dupree & Company, Inc., to allocate principal business or portfolio brokerage on the basis of share sales. However, brokers effecting purchases of our shares for their customers may participate in principal transactions of brokerage allocated as described in the preceding paragraphs. Dupree & Company, Inc. has advised us that, when it purchases municipal securities for our portfolios in underwriting, it will seek to negotiate a purchase price reflecting a reduction from the initial public offering price by an amount equal to some or all of the applicable selling group concessions.

No brokerage commissions have been paid by the Trust during the three most recent fiscal years.

#### SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
Dupree Mutual Funds is a Kentucky Business Trust organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky on July 1, 1987. The Business Trust is the successor to the Kentucky Tax-Free Income Fund, Inc. The Trust offers shares of beneficial interest of separate Series or funds without par value. The Trust is authorized to create an unlimited number of new Series or Funds, but at this time the Trust is offering shares in ten Funds as described in the Prospectus: Alabama Tax-Free Income Series, Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series, Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series, North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series, Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series, Taxable Municipal Bond Series and Intermediate Government Bond Series.

Each share has one vote. Fractional shares have proportionate voting rights and participate pro rata in dividends and distributions. Our shareholders have cumulative voting rights for the election of Trustees. This means that, in each election of Trustees, each shareholder has the right to cast a number of votes equal to the number of Trustees to be elected and to cast all of such votes for one candidate or distribute such votes among two or more candidates, as the shareholder sees fit. In the event of liquidation of any Fund, net assets would be distributed among shareholders of the fund pro-rata after payment of all expenses. Shareholders have no pre-emptive rights. Shareholders may convert their shares in a Fund into shares of other Funds offered by the Trust; however, this conversion will be treated as a redemption and purchase and may have tax consequences for the shareholder. When issued, our shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Shareholders rights to redeem shares and receive dividends are set forth in the Prospectus dated November 1, 2025.

A principal shareholder is any person who owns of record or beneficially, 5.0% or more of the outstanding shares of a fund. A control person is one who owns beneficially or through controlled companies more than 25.0% of the voting securities of a company or acknowledges the existence of control. Shareholders with a controlling interest could affect the outcome of voting or the direction of management of a fund.

#### Management Ownership
Officers and Trustees owned less than 1% of the shares of the Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series and the Intermediate Government Bond Series.

#### HOW TO PURCHASE SHARES
Shares of our Trust that are offered for sale are offered directly by the Trust. Since we do not charge any sales commissions, every dollar you invest in us is applied to the purchase of our shares.

The price of your shares will be their net asset value per share, as calculated in the first determination of net asset value after your order has become effective. Your order will be priced and executed at the net asset value next determined after the order is received. There is no sales charge or load.

#### FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
If you purchase shares through a financial intermediary, that party is responsible for transmitting orders in accord with contractual arrangements between the Trust and your representative. There may be different cut-off times for purchase and sale requests. Consult your investment representative for specific information.

If you invest through a financial intermediary (rather than directly with the Trust), the financial intermediary may charge you fees different from those described. Banks, brokers, 401(k) plans, financial advisers and financial supermarkets may charge transaction fees and may set different minimum investments or limitations on buying or selling shares. Consult a representative of your plan or financial institution if you have any questions about fees that you may be charged by them. Transactions processed through financial intermediaries may depend upon your contractual relations with the financial intermediary and whether the Trust has an arrangement with the financial intermediary.

The Funds have authorized one or more financial intermediaries to receive on its behalf purchase and redemption orders. Such financial intermediaries may be authorized to designate other intermediaries to receive purchase and redemption orders on the Funds' behalf. The Funds will be deemed to have received a purchase or redemption order when an authorized financial intermediary or, if applicable, a financial intermediary's authorized designee, receives the order.

------

The Prospectus describes the procedures to be utilized by an investor desiring to purchase our shares.

#### DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
The price used when you buy or sell shares in a Fund is the next net asset value computed after we receive your order in proper form. The net asset value per share of each Fund is determined separately at the close of the market, generally 4:00 p.m. ET each weekday the Trust is open by dividing the total value of the assets of a Fund, minus liabilities, by the total number of shares outstanding.

The Trust is closed on the following holidays: Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Columbus Day. The above listed closing dates correspond with the dates the bond market is closed in the U.S.

On any business day when the markets close early we will close and calculate each Fund's NAV at the market closing time. On those days when the market has an early close, any purchase and/or redemption orders received after the close will be processed and become effective on the next business day at the then prevailing NAV. We may elect to remain open on those dates which there are an early or full market close.

Purchase and sales orders accepted after the Trust's order cut-off time (4:00 p.m. EST) will be effective the following business day at the NAV computed on the following day.

#### Valuation Methodology – Tax-Exempt and Taxable Municipal Bond Series
In general, securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value, as provided by independent third-party pricing agents. All other securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trust's "Valuation Designee". The Valuation Designee is responsible for, among other things, monitoring the value of the Funds' securities. These procedures involve the use of matrix pricing models which take into consideration, among other factors, years to maturity, call date, coupon rate, trading patterns, creditworthiness, supply and demand dynamics, trading characteristics, special circumstances of a security or trading market, and any other factors or market data considered relevant in determining the value for securities. The procedures also include weekly verification of market quotations provided by two independent pricing services. A bond valuation that is not supported by the matrix pricing model requires

the Valuation Designee to fair value the security in accordance with Board approved policies and procedures (the "Valuation Procedures"). Pursuant to the Valuation Procedures, the Valuation Designee has the day-to-day responsibility for fair valuing the Trust's securities or other assets. Securities valued by the Valuation Designee are reviewed by the Valuation Committee, which consists of all the Independent Trustees. Shares of open-end mutual funds in which the Funds invest, if any, are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by the underlying funds.

#### Valuation Methodology – Intermediate Government Bond Series
The securities held in the Intermediate Government Bond Series are priced daily utilizing prices obtained from ICE. The prices are examined by Dupree for accuracy and daily price changes are evaluated, modified, or challenged as appropriate.

#### HOW TO REDEEM SHARES
The Prospectus describes the procedures to be utilized by a shareholder desiring to redeem our shares. A $15.00 wire fee applies to all redemptions processed by wire. The transfer agent may deduct the wire charge from the redemption proceeds. There is no fee for processing redemption proceeds through the Automated Clearing House electronic funds transfer system.

#### REDEMPTION BY TRUST
If your account balance falls below $500 as a result of shareholder redemption and not simply market valuation change, we may redeem your shares and close out your account. We will mail you a notice requesting that you bring the account balance back up to the minimum investment amount of $500. If you choose not to do so within thirty (30) days from the date of notice, we will close your account and mail the proceeds to the address of record.

------

If you reside in a state or should move to a state where the Trust does not routinely offer its shares for sale or if you should transfer or attempt to transfer any of your shares to another person residing in a state where the Trust does not routinely offer its shares for sale, the Trust reserves the right to involuntarily redeem your shares and close out your account and/or modify your dividend and/or capital gains distribution options to receive your dividends and/or capital gains in cash in lieu of reinvestment of said dividends and/or capital gains distributions in the Trust.

The Trust reserves the right to redeem, at any time without notice, any account if it is determined that the account owner is not complying with the Trust's policies and procedures.

#### FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Bond Counsel for the bonds held in the tax-exempt municipal bond Funds have not undertaken to advise in the future whether any events after the date of issuance of the bonds may affect the tax-exempt status of interest on the bonds or the tax consequences of ownership of the bonds. No assurance can be given that future legislation, or amendments to the tax code, if enacted into law, will not contain provisions which could directly or indirectly reduce the benefit of the exclusion of the interest on the bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes. This would prevent such holders from realizing the full current benefit of the federal tax status of such interest. Several bills have been introduced in Congress in the past that, if enacted, would curtail or eliminate the tax-exemption retroactively or prospectively. Because many states adopt the Internal Revenue Code as a part of the state taxation system, any changes to the federal income and/or capital gains laws may result in changes to state tax laws, resulting in a loss of or reduction in the exemption of municipal bond interest for state income tax purposes. Prospective purchasers of the tax-exempt municipal bond funds should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential consequences of any federal budget proposal and/or other legislative proposals to the treatment of interest on the bonds and distributions paid by the tax-exempt municipal bond Funds.

Effective for the taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, each Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period, and those capital loss carry forwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as provided under prior law.

**No mutual fund is a complete investment program and you may lose money by investing in the Funds. Mutual fund shares are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by the U.S. government. More detailed information about the Trust, its investment policies, restrictions and risks can be found in the Trust's Prospectus dated November 1, 2025.** 

#### TAX INFORMATION (updated to reflect post-merger)

|  | Cost | Appreciation | Depreciation | Net unrealized<br>depreciation |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Alabama Tax-Free Income Series | $20685303 | $4203 | $(1422041) | $(1417838) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series | 734970223 | 380721 | (32547970) | (32167249) |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Taxable Municipal Bond Series | 3435535 | 35757 | (251853) | (216096) |

At June 30, 2025, the Funds' non-expiring capital loss carry-forwards available to offset future capital gains, were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Short-term | Long-term | Total |
|  Alabama Tax-Free Income Series | $- | $611518 | $611518 |
|  Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series | 1482387 | 23760036 | 25242423 |
|  Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series | 126287 | 453903 | 580190 |
|  North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series | 1332168 | 5472827 | 6804995 |
|  Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series | 176447 | 2203660 | 2380107 |
|  Intermediate Government Bond Series | 51994 | 151599 | 203593 |
|  Taxable Municipal Bond Series | 174265 | 1814185 | 1988450 |

---

As a result of the mergers of the Short-to-Medium Series into the respective Income Series after the close of business on May 16, 2025, the Income Series acquired the following capital loss carry forward balances.

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Short-Term | Long-Term | Total | Annual Limitation |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series | $86274 | $200077 | $286351 | $-0- |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series | 54832 | 163327 | 218159 | -0- |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series | 2216 | 281735 | 283951 | 85500 |

---

The Income Series are eligible to utilize these amounts to offset future capital gains subject to annual limitations under IRC Section 382.

The distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are caused primarily due to the recognition of certain components of realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Funds.

For the year ended June 30, 2025, the following reclassifications were made as a result of permanent differences between the financial statement and income tax reporting requirements primarily attributable to merger adjustments:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Paid-in Capital | Total accumulated loss |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series | $286351 | $(286351) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series | 218159 | (218159) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series | 283951 | (283951) |
