**Transcript** 

07:23 – To your point, Q's been around for decades. I understand that there's a special meeting of QQQ shareholders that's scheduled for December 5th, just a few weeks away to vote on a proposed proxy. What does that mean for shareholders of QQQ? Should they vote? Is that going to impact the performance or how it fits within their portfolios?

Yeah. Great question and I'm glad you asked. So that meeting is coming up in the first week of December and it's something that I think is very fitting for QQQ to be doing. It's structured currently as a UIT like many ETFs were that were launched in the 90s. And we're proposing to change the structure to a standard ETF like any ETF that's launched today to a 1940 Act open end fund. And what does that fundamentally mean? It means, really three things. First, the cost the expense ration will drop from 20 basis points down to 18 basis points. Secondly, there's going to be greater transparency with the fund, where there will be semi-annual reports, a summary prospectus and also a greater board oversight on it. And then thirdly, I think probably most important, one of the more common quests we get is that it's not going to create any tax consequences because it's just changing the structure. There aren't going to be any buys or sells related the shift from structure. So at the end of the day, we feel that it aligns with investors long term goals of lowering the expense ratio and, you know, really living up to the themes of what you see with ETFs

May I please speak with (SHAREHOLDER'S FULL NAME)? (Repeat greeting if necessary)

We sincerely apologize for the repeated calls and letters regarding your investment in the Invesco QQQ Trust. Once your vote is recorded, all outreach will stop.

(Proceed to confirming the vote)

<u>If NO or shareholder hasn't received materials:</u> 

Invesco recommends voting in favor because converting QQQ from a Unit Investment Trust to an Open-End Fund will:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reduce the expense ratio from 0.20% to 0.18%, saving shareholders an estimated $70M annually

Invesco believes these changes are in shareholders' best interests. Would you like to vote with their recommendation?
