**QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:** 

**Invesco QQQ Trust<sup>SM</sup>, Series 1 (the "Trust")** 

We encourage you to read the proxy statement in full; however, the following represent some typical questions that shareholders may have regarding the proxy statement.

**HOW DO I VOTE?** 

Voting may take place in the following ways:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You may vote your shares on the voting website listed on your proxy card and/or voting instruction card. You will need
the control number from your proxy card and/or voting instruction card to vote on the Internet. Because Internet voting is the most economical way to vote your proxy, we encourage all shareholders to use this method.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You may call in your vote to a 24-hour automated system or a live proxy
representative by calling the phone number(s) listed on your proxy card and/or voting instruction card. You will need the control number from your proxy card and/or voting instruction card to vote by telephone.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You may indicate your vote on the proxy card and/or voting instruction card and return it in the postage-paid envelope
mailed to you with your proxy statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If you do attend the meeting, you may vote your shares in person. Please notify us by calling 1-800-952-3502 if you plan to attend the meeting.

**WHAT ARE THE PROPOSALS BEING PRESENTED AT THE SHAREHOLDER MEETING AND WHAT AM I BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON?** 

You are being asked to approve three proposals. The proposals are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Proposal 1: To approve amendments to the Trust's Trust Indenture and Agreement and Standard Terms and Conditions
of Trust (the "Governing Instruments") that are intended to change the Trust's classification under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, from a unit investment trust to an open-end management investment company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Proposal 2: To approve the election of nine (9) trustees to serve on the Board of Trustees of the Trust following
the amendment of the Governing Instruments (Proposal 1) replacing the existing Trustee (a bank) with a slate of individual trustees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Proposal 3: To approve an investment advisory agreement between the Trust and Invesco Capital Management LLC
("Invesco" or the "Sponsor").

The proposed changes will only take effect if <u>all</u> three proposals are approved by the Trust's shareholders.

**HOW DOES INVESCO RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE?** 

Invesco recommends that you vote FOR all three of the proposals.

------

**WHY SHOULD I VOTE?** 

Every vote is important – ***this means your vote too***. If shareholders fail to vote their proxies, the Trust may not receive enough votes to go forward with the October 24, 2025 shareholder meeting. If this happens, additional solicitations may have to be made to obtain a quorum, or proxies may have to be resent to shareholders.

**WHO HAVE WE CONTRACTED FOR THE SERVICES OF A PROXY SOLICITOR?** 

We have hired Sodali & Co. Fund Solutions as the Trust's proxy solicitor. If we do not receive your vote after a reasonable amount of time, you may receive a telephone call and other solicitations from them reminding you to vote your shares.

**WILL MY VOTE BE CONFIDENTIAL USING THE ONLINE PROXY VOTING SYSTEM?** 

The Web proxy voting system offered by <u>www.proxyvote.com</u> maintains security features designed to protect the confidentiality of your vote. These security features include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **HTTP Secure (HTTPS)** – A security measure that encrypts all information that travels between the <u>www.proxyvote.com</u> Web server and a shareholder's computer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Control Number** – Each shareholder is required to enter his or her control number. <u>www.proxyvote.com</u> verifies the number and presents the shareholder with the proxy card.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Firewall** – To protect the confidentiality of your account records, <u>www.proxyvote.com</u> uses only control numbers to register votes.

**HOW DO I SIGN THE PROXY CARD AND/OR VOTING INSTRUCTION CARD?** 

The following general rules for signing proxy cards and/or voting instruction cards could help you avoid the time and expense involved in validating your vote if you fail to sign your proxy card and/or voting instruction card properly.

*Individual and Joint Accounts:* Shareholders and joint owners should sign exactly as their name appears in the account registration shown on the proxy card and/or voting instruction card. If shares are held jointly, one or more owners should sign personally.

*All Other Accounts:* The capacity of the individual signing the proxy card and/or voting instruction card (for example, "trustee") should be indicated, along with the individual's signature and full title. If a corporation, limited liability company, or partnership is signing the proxy card and/or voting instruction card, please sign the full entity name and indicate the signer's position with the entity.

**WHAT IS THE DEADLINE FOR VOTING?** 

All votes must be received before or at the shareholder meeting, which will be held on October 24, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Central Time.

As a general matter, a vote submitted by mail must generally be sent 10 days in advance of the meeting to be received and processed, while a vote submitted via phone or the Internet must generally be submitted by 12 a.m. Eastern Time the day before the meeting to be deemed received.

To ensure we receive your vote in time, we urge you to mail your proxy card or record your voting instructions by telephone or via the Internet today.

Outbound Call Script May I please speak with (SHAREHOLDER'S FULL NAME)? (Repeat the greeting if necessary) I am calling on a recorded line regarding your current investment in the Invesco QQQ Trust, otherwise known as "QQQ." Materials were sent to you for the upcoming Special Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for October 24th, 2025. We have not yet received your vote. Invesco Capital Management, the sponsor of QQQ, recommends a vote IN FAVOR of the proposals. Would you like to vote along with their recommendation? (Pause for response) If YES: If we identify any additional accounts before the meeting, would you like to vote them the same way as today? (Proceed to confirming the vote) If NO or the shareholder hasn't received the info: Invesco Capital Management is recommending a vote in favor of all three proposals because they believe the changes will modernize QQQ's structure, enhance operational efficiency, and reduce shareholder costs. By converting QQQ from a Unit Investment Trust (UIT) to an Open-End Fund, shareholders will benefit from increased regulatory certainty, expanded investment flexibility, and access to practices such as securities lending and dividend reinvestment that can improve returns. Most importantly, the conversion will lower QQQ's total expense ratio from 0.20% to 0.18%, resulting in an estimated annual savings of over $70 million for shareholders. Invesco believes these changes are in the best interests of QQQ and its investors. Would you like to vote along with their recommendation?

[Client]: hope you are doing well.

You may have seen that on 7/17/25, QQQ filed a preliminary **proxy statement** proposing certain changes to the structure and operation of **QQQ**. Such changes, if approved by QQQ shareholders, would reduce the cost of QQQ and have it be reclassified from a unit investment trust to an open-end ETF. That proxy statement has since become definitive (with a second filing on 8/18/25), meaning that **the process of soliciting proxies to get the vote needed to approve the proposals is about to begin.**

We recognize that proxy voting can be a cumbersome experience for investors. We want to work closely with you and the proxy solicitor that will be working to acquire the needed vote to provide ample resources and transparency to financial advisors and investors during this process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Proxy voting will commence next week and take place in the coming months, supported by an industry-standard,
third-party proxy-voting solicitor, Sodali Fund Solutions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• During the proxy voting period, **our goal is to be a resource to you with information on the QQQ proxy voting process, with prioritization of your questions and feedback.** 

As such, this email summarizes the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Recap of the proxy statement and QQQ proposals proposed therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Overview of key proxy dates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Proxy voting solicitor information and outreach plans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Resources available to you to inform your teams and financial advisors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Recap of Invesco's outreach to your financial advisors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Q&A readiness ideas for platforms and where Invesco stands ready to help you.

**<u>Recap of proxy statement and QQQ changes proposed</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If approved,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o QQQ's legal structure would change from a Unit Investment Trust (UIT) to an Open-End Fund under the 1940 Act, consistent with the structure of the vast majority of other current ETFs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o QQQ's TER would decrease from 0.20% to 0.18%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o *QQQ would still operate as an ETF, track the Nasdaq-100 Index <sup>®</sup> , and function in the same way it has in its 25-year plus history. Performance history, the process of buying/selling shares of QQQ, and investment exposures and investment risks would be unchanged. This is neither a special rebalance nor taxable event.* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Please note, no changes to QQQ will occur until/unless QQQ shareholder vote is achieved. QQQ structure and TER
remain unchanged until potential shareholder approval.

not contacting individual shareholders directly.
