**<u>PROPOSAL I</u>**

**APPROVAL OF A NEW INVESTMENT CO-ADVISORY AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN**

**THE TRUST, PRINCETON FUND ADVISORS, LLC AND EAGLE GLOBAL ADVISORS, LLC**

**<u>Background and Information</u>**

The primary purpose of this proposal is to enable Princeton Fund Advisors, LLC ("Princeton") and Eagle Global Advisors, LLC ("Eagle") to continue to serve as the investment co-advisers to the Fund (the "Co-Advisers"). Princeton and Eagle currently serve as investment co-advisers to the Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the "Current Co-Advisory Agreement"). Princeton and Eagle have served as the Fund's investment co-advisers since the Fund commenced operations.

Princeton is a limited liability company that is governed by a Board of Managers. Currently Princeton's Board of Managers is composed of one Manager, Greg Anderson. All management decisions of Princeton are controlled by Mr. Anderson. Under Princeton's organizational documents, the ability to make management and policy decisions relating to Princeton's business is solely entrusted to its Board of Managers and the Board of Managers, not shareholders, solely has the ability to add Managers. Shareholders of Princeton do not have the ability to vote for Managers or other corporate actions. Mr. Anderson would like to name four additional individuals to Princeton's Board of Managers. These individuals are Mark Penske, Jim Dickson, Eric Clarke and G. Mike Mikan. The addition of four Managers to Princeton's Board of Managers (the "Restructuring") may be deemed to constitute a change in control of Princeton and therefore an "assignment" of the Current Advisory Agreement for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The 1940 Act further states that an assignment of an investment advisory agreement causes the which results in the automatic termination of the investment advisory agreement. As a result, the Current Co-Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate by its terms as required by the 1940 Act when the Restructuring occurs.

At a meeting on June 25-26, 2025 (the "Board Meeting"), the Board approved a new investment advisory agreement with Princeton and Eagle for the Fund (the "New Co-Advisory Agreement"), subject to shareholder approval. The 1940 Act requires that investment advisory agreements such as the New Co-Advisory Agreement be approved by a vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Therefore, shareholders of the Fund are being asked to approve the proposed New Co-Advisory Agreement with Princeton and Eagle.

The terms of the New Co-Advisory Agreement for the Fund are identical in all material respects to those of the Fund's Current Co-Advisory Agreement.

There will be no changes to the Fund's investment objectives, principal strategies or risks, and no changes to the current investment sub-advisory fees or arrangements, as a result of the New Co-Advisory Agreement.

**<u>Information about Co-Advisers</u>**

Princeton located at 1580 Lincoln Street Suite 680, Denver, CO 80203, serves as investment co-adviser to the Fund. Subject to the oversight of the Board, Princeton is responsible for management of the Fund's investment portfolio in cooperation with the other co-adviser. Princeton is jointly responsible for assuring that investments are made according to the Fund's investment objective, policies and restrictions. Princeton was established in 2011. As of March 31, 2025, it had approximately $2.9 billion in total assets under management.

Eagle located at 1330 Post Oak Blvd, Suite 3000, Houston, TX 77056, serves as investment co-adviser to the Fund. Subject to the oversight of the Board, Eagle is responsible for management of the Fund's investment portfolio in cooperation with Princeton. Eagle is responsible for selecting investments and assuring that investments are made according to the Fund's investment objective, policies and restrictions. Eagle was established in 1996 for the purpose of advising individuals and institutions. As of March 31, 2025, it had approximately $2.9 billion total assets under management, including non-discretionary assets.

**<u>The Co-Advisory Agreement</u>**

Under the terms of the Current Co-Advisory Agreement, the Co-Advisers are entitled to receive an annual fee from the Fund equal 1.25% to the Fund's average daily net assets.

For such compensation, the Co-Advisers, at their expense, continuously furnishes an investment program for the Fund, makes investment decisions on behalf of the Fund, and places all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, subject to the Fund's investment objective, policies, and restrictions and such policies as the Trustees may determine. The Board, consisting solely of Independent Trustees (as defined in the 1940 Act), unanimously approved the Current Co-Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, prior to it being amended, at a meeting held on June 25-26, 2025.

Subject to shareholder approval and completion of the Restructuring, the Trust will enter into the New Co-Advisory Agreement, on behalf of the Fund, with the Co-Advisers. The terms and conditions of the New Advisory Agreement are identical in all material respects to those of the Current Co-Advisory Agreement. The dates of its execution, effectiveness, and termination are changed. If the New Co-Advisory Agreement with Princeton and Eagle was not approved by the shareholders of the Fund or the other mutual funds managed by Princeton, the Board, Princeton and Eagle will consider other options, including a new or modified request for shareholder approval of a new co-advisory agreement.

The effective date of the New Co-Advisory Agreement for the Fund will be the date of the Restructuring. The New Co-Advisory Agreement provides that it will continue in force for an initial period of two years, and from year to year thereafter, but only so long as its continuance is approved at least annually by the Trustees at a meeting called for that purpose or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Trust. The New Co-Advisory Agreement automatically terminates on assignment and is terminable upon notice by the Fund. In addition, the New Co-Advisory Agreement may be terminated upon 60 days' notice by the Advisers given the Fund. In the event the Advisers cease to manage the Fund, the right of those Fund to use the identifying name of "Princeton" or "Eagle" may be withdrawn.

The New Co-Advisory Agreement, like the Current Co-Advisory Agreement, provides that the Co-Advisers shall not be subject to any liability in connection with the performance of its services thereunder in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties.

The New Co-Advisory Agreement is attached as <u>Appendix A</u>. You should read the New Co-Advisory Agreement. The description in this Proxy Statement of the New Co-Advisory Agreement is only a summary.

**<u>Evaluation by the Board of Trustees</u>**

At the Board Meeting, the Board deliberated whether to approve the New Co-Advisory Agreement with the Advisers. The Trustees relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel, and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the New Co-Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Trustees' conclusions were based on an evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the Agreements. The following summarizes the Trustees' review process and the information on which their conclusions were based:

*Nature, Extent and Quality of Service.* The Trustees observed that Princeton was founded in 2011 with approximately $854 million in assets under management ("AUM"). The Trustees acknowledged that Princeton researches and evaluates liquid alternative strategies and managers whose strategy can meet the requirements of a mutual fund or be modified to meet the requirements of a mutual fund to be made available for investors looking for non-traditional investment options. They noted that Princeton develops its own alternative strategies to meet mutual fund standards when it determines there is a demand for such strategy. The Trustees reviewed the education and financial industry experience of the investment personnel responsible for servicing the Fund. They noted that Princeton's Chief Executive Officer had retired in the prior year and one of the compliance officers had been replaced with an experienced financial professional. The Trustees stated that they believed these changes did not have any negative effect on Princeton's services. The Trustees expressed their satisfaction with Princeton's intention to continue its current focus on risk management. They discussed Princeton's process for monitoring compliance with each Fund's investment limitations, by reviewing diversification and liquidity requirements, and maintaining and reviewing a compliance tracking system of items. The Trustees noted that Princeton selected broker-dealers based on its best execution policy with a focus on certain factors including, but not limited to, execution efficiency and timing, the viability of the broker-dealer and responsiveness. They considered Princeton's cyber-security protocols and its use of a third-party service provider to monitor its technology infrastructure. They noted that Princeton reported no cyber security incidents in the past year, or any material enhances in its program, but Princeton carries cybersecurity insurances and has policies to cover protocols for employee cyber training, dual authentication, frequent password changes, incoming and outgoing email, and anti-virus software. The Trustees noted that Princeton does not utilize artificial intelligence in its investment process. The Trustees acknowledged that the Securities and Exchange Commission had issued a deficiency letter to Princeton in September 2024 related to a private fund it manages and unrelated to its mutual funds, which was addressed by Princeton. They further noted Princeton had no material compliance issues or litigation issues since the previous advisory agreement approval. The Trustees concluded that they expect Princeton to continue providing high quality services to the Fund and their shareholders.

*Performance.* The Trustees noted that the Fund has approximately $242 million in AUM and had raised $138 million from the prior year. They further noted the Fund received a four-start fund rating in the energy limited partner area by Morningstar. The Trustees acknowledged the Fund had generated 4% income. The Trustees noted the Sortino ratios and standard deviation indicated that the Fund has performed well. The Trustees concluded that Princeton should be retained for the Fund.

*Fees and Expenses.* The Trustees noted that the advisory fee of 1.25% with respect to the Fund ranked in the 79<sup>th</sup> percentile in its Broadridge generated peer group. They further noted that the advisory fee was higher than the Fund's peer group and Morningstar category medians and averages but there were three funds in the peer group that maintained the same advisory fee of 1.25%. The Trustees acknowledged that Princeton agreed that it would continue to have an expense limitation in place for the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the Fund's advisory fee was not unreasonable.

*Economies of Scale.* The Trustees considered whether economies of scale will be reached with respect to the management of the Fund.

 

*Profitability.* The Trustees considered the anticipated profits Princeton and Eagle would realize in connection with managing the Fund and whether the estimated amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit with respect to the services to be provided to the Fund.

*Conclusion.* Having requested and received such information from the Advisers as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Co-Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of Counsel, the Board concluded that the advisory fee structure is reasonable, and that approval of the Co-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Fund.

As a result of their considerations, the Board of Trustees, determined that the proposed New Co-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved the New Co-Advisory Agreement and voted to recommend it to shareholders for approval.

**Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act**

Because the Closing may be considered to result in a change in control of the Co-Adviser under the 1940 Act resulting in the termination (due to a deemed assignment) of the Former Co-Advisory Agreement, the Adviser intends for the Closing to come within the safe harbor provided by Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act, which permits an investment adviser of a registered investment company (or any affiliated persons of the investment adviser) to receive any amount or benefit in connection with a sale of an interest in the investment adviser that results in an assignment of an investment advisory contract, provided that the following two conditions are satisfied.

First, an "unfair burden" may not be imposed on the investment company as a result of the sale of the interest, or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable to the sale of the interest. The term "unfair burden," as defined in the 1940 Act, includes any arrangement during the two-year period following the transaction whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor adviser), or any "interested person" of the adviser (as defined in the 1940 Act), receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the investment company or its security holders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services), or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the investment company (other than ordinary fees for bona fide principal underwriting services). The Adviser has confirmed for the Board that the Closing will not impose an unfair burden on the Funds within the meaning of Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act.

Second, during the three-year period following the Closing, at least 75% of the members of the investment company's board of trustees cannot be "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment adviser (or predecessor adviser). At the present time, 66.7% of the Trustees are classified as Independent Trustees, i.e., not interested persons of the Trust. The Board has committed to ensuring that at least 75% of the Trustees would not be "interested persons" of the Adviser for a period of three years after the Closing.

 **

***Accordingly, the Board of Trustees of the Trust recommends that shareholders of each Fund vote "<u>FOR</u>" approval of the New Co-Advisory Agreement.***

 

**<u>OTHER INFORMATION</u>**

**OPERATION OF THE FUND**

The Fund is a non-diversified series of the Northern Lights Fund Trust, an open-end investment management company organized as a Delaware statutory trust and formed by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust on January 19, 2005. The Trust's principal executive offices are located at 225 Pictoria Drive, Suite 450, Cincinnati, OH 45246. The Board of Trustees supervises the business activities of the Fund. Like other mutual funds, the Fund retains various organizations to perform specialized services. The Fund currently retains Princeton and Eagle as Fund managers and investment co-advisers. Northern Lights Distributors, LLC, located at 4221 North 203<sup>rd</sup> Street, Suite 100, Elkhorn, Nebraska 68022, serves as principal underwriter and distributor of the Fund. Ultimus Fund Services, LLC provides the Fund with transfer agent, accounting, and administrative services. Northern Lights Compliance Services, located at 225 Pictoria Drive, Suite 450, Cincinnati, OH 45246, provides the Fund with the services of a chief compliance officer and supporting compliance services.

**THE PROXY**

The Board of Trustees solicits proxies so that each shareholder has the opportunity to vote on the proposals to be considered at the Meeting. A proxy for voting your shares at the Meeting is enclosed. The shares represented by each valid proxy received in time will be voted at the Meeting as specified. If no specification is made, the shares represented by a duly executed proxy will be voted: for approval of the proposed New Co-Advisory Agreement and, at the discretion of the holders of the proxy, on any other matter that may come before the meeting that the Trust did not have notice of a reasonable time prior to the mailing of this Proxy Statement. You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by (1) submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, (2) submitting a written notice to the President of the Trust revoking the proxy, or (3) attending and voting in person at the Meeting.

**VOTING SECURITIES AND VOTING**

As of the Record Date, there were the number of shares of beneficial interest of the Fund issued and outstanding as set forth below:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Voting Securities Outstanding** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Voting Securities Outstanding** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Voting Securities Outstanding** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Voting Securities Outstanding** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Class A** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Class C** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Class I** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Class N** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;1,382,424 | &nbsp;&nbsp;773,278 | &nbsp;&nbsp;14,366,274 | &nbsp;&nbsp;4,471,764 |

---

All shareholders of record of the Fund on the Record Date are entitled to vote at the Meeting on Proposal 1. Each shareholder is entitled to one (1) vote per share held, and fractional votes for fractional shares held, on any matter submitted to a vote at the Meeting.

An affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund is required for the approval of the proposed New Co-Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. As defined in the 1940 Act, a vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund means the vote of (1) 67% or more of the voting shares of the Fund present at the meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund are present in person or represented by proxy, or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares of the Fund, whichever is less.

Broker non-votes and abstentions will be considered present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum and the number of shares of the Fund represented at the Meeting, but they are not affirmative votes for any proposal. As a result, with respect to approval of the proposed New Co-Advisory Agreement, non-votes and abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal because the required vote is a percentage of the shares present or outstanding.

**Security Ownership of Management AND Certain Beneficial Owners**

To the best knowledge of the Trust, except as listed below, there were no Trustees or officers of the Trust or other shareholders who were the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund on the Record Date. As of the Record Date, the Trust knows of no other person (including any "group" as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that beneficially owns more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any Fund.

The record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of each Fund on the Record Date are listed in the following table.

Shareholders owning more than 25% of the shares of the Fund are considered to "control" the Fund, as that term is defined under the 1940 Act. Persons controlling the Fund can determine the outcome of any proposal submitted to the shareholders for approval. As a group, the Trustees and officers of the Trust owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund as of the Record Date. As a result, the Trustees and officers as a group are not deemed to control the Fund.

**SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS**

The Trust has not received any shareholder proposals to be considered for presentation at the Meeting. Under the proxy rules of the SEC, shareholder proposals may, under certain conditions, be included in the Trust's Proxy Statement and proxy for a particular meeting. Under these rules, proposals submitted for inclusion in the Trust's proxy materials must be received by the Trust within a reasonable time before the solicitation is made. The fact that the Trust receives a shareholder proposal in a timely manner does not ensure its inclusion in its proxy materials, because there are other requirements in the proxy rules relating to such inclusion. You should be aware that annual meetings of shareholders are not required. Any shareholder proposal should be sent to Stephanie Shearer Secretary, Northern Lights Fund Trust, 225 Pictoria Drive, Suite 450, Cincinnati, OH 45246.

**COST OF SOLICITATION**

The Board of Trustees of the Trust is making this solicitation of proxies. The Trust has engaged EQ, a proxy solicitation firm (the "Proxy Solicitor"), to assist in the solicitation. The estimated fees anticipated to be paid to the Proxy Solicitor for solicitation services are approximately $10,000. The cost of preparing and mailing this Proxy Statement, the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting and proxy and any additional materials relating to the meeting and the cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by Princeton and Eagle. In addition to solicitation by mail, the Trust will request banks, brokers and other custodial nominees and fiduciaries, to supply proxy materials to the respective beneficial owners of shares of the Fund of whom they have knowledge, and Princeton and Eagle will reimburse them for their expenses in so doing. Certain officers, employees and agents of the Trust and Princeton and Eagle may solicit proxies in person or by telephone, facsimile transmission, or mail, for which they will not receive any special compensation.

**OTHER MATTERS**

The Trust's Board of Trustees knows of no other matters to be presented at the Meeting other than as set forth above. If any other matters properly come before the Meeting that the Trust did not have notice of a reasonable time prior to the mailing of this Proxy Statement, the holders of the proxy will vote the shares represented by the proxy on such matters in accordance with their best judgment, and discretionary authority to do so is included in the proxy.

**PROXY DELIVERY**

If you and another shareholder share the same address, the Trust may only send one Proxy Statement unless you or the other shareholder(s) request otherwise. Call or write to the Trust if you wish to receive a separate copy of the Proxy Statement, and the Trust will promptly mail a copy to you. You may also call or write to the Trust if you wish to receive a separate proxy in the future or if you are receiving multiple copies now and wish to receive a single copy in the future. For such requests, call the Trust at (631) 470-2600, or write the Trust at 225 Pictoria Drive, Suite 450, Cincinnati, OH 45246.
