Supplement to the Summary Prospectus, Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information dated January 28, 2016, as supplemented on May 20, 2016


Based on a recommendation of Poplar Forest Capital, LLC, the Board of Trustees of Advisors Series Trust has approved closing Class A of the Poplar Forest Outliers Fund (the “Fund”) and converting Class A shares to Institutional Class shares.

Effective November 9, 2016, Class A shares will no longer be available for purchase.

After the close of business on December 9, 2016, the Fund will convert Class A shares into Institutional Class shares.  Prior to the conversion, shareholders of Class A shares may redeem their investments as described in the Fund’s Prospectus.

If shares are not redeemed prior to the conversion, each shareholder owning Class A shares of the Fund will own Institutional Class shares of the same Fund equal to the aggregate value of the shareholder’s Class A shares, as the case may be.  Because you will own Institutional Class shares following the conversion, you will no longer be subject to any sales charges (front-end sales charges or CDSC).  Additionally, the Institutional Class shares are not subject to a Distribution and Service (Rule 12b-1) Fee.  The conversion will not be considered a taxable event for federal income tax purposes.

Please see the Prospectus for more information about the fees and expenses associated with Institutional Class shares.
