Note 1 – Securities Valuation

The Kellner Merger Fund’s (the “Fund”) investments in securities are carried at their fair value. The Fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (4:00 pm EST).

Equity securities, including common stocks, exchange-traded funds and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), that are traded on a national securities exchange shall be valued at the last sales price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded on the day of valuation or, if there has been no sale price on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation, or if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter securities which are not traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System shall be valued at the most recent sales price. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their net asset value per share. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Fund may invest without limitation in securities of foreign companies. Foreign economies may differ from the U.S. economy and individual foreign companies may differ from domestic companies in the same industry. Foreign companies or entities are frequently not subject to accounting and financial reporting standards applicable to domestic companies, and there may be less information available about foreign issuers. Securities of foreign issuers are generally less liquid and more volatile than those of comparable domestic issuers. There is frequently less government regulation of broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States. In addition, investments in foreign countries are subject to the possibility of expropriation, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability or diplomatic developments that could adversely affect the value of those investments.

Debt securities, such as corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, municipal bonds, and U.S. government agency issues are valued at market on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service which utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and formula-based techniques. The pricing service may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, and fundamental data relating to the issuer. In addition, the model may incorporate market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. These securities will generally be classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Options are valued using the composite pricing via the National Best Bid and Offer quotes. Composite pricing looks at the last trade on the exchange where the option is traded. If there are no trades for an option on a given business day, as of closing, the Fund will value the option at the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded. Options that are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Options that are valued at the mean of the highest bid price and lowest asked price are categorized in level 2.

Total return swap contracts are valued based on the valuation furnished by the independent pricing service and are generally classified in level 2.

Short-term debt securities, including those securities having a maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at the evaluated mean between the bid and asked prices. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, these securities would be classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Board of Trustees (“Board”) has delegated day-to-day valuation issues to a Valuation Committee of Advisors Series Trust which is comprised of representatives from U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s administrator. The function of the Valuation Committee is to value securities where current and reliable market quotations are not readily available or the closing price does not represent fair value by following procedures approved by the Board. These procedures consider many factors, including the type of security, size of holding, trading volume and news events. All actions taken by the Valuation Committee are subsequently reviewed and ratified by the Board.

Depending on the relative significance of the valuation inputs, fair valued securities may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Fund has adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for majority security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

·	Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

·	Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s securities as of March 31, 2019:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Refer to the Fund’s schedule of investments for a detailed break-out of securities by industry classification. Transfers between levels are recognized at March 31, 2019, the end of the reporting period. During the period ended March 31, 2019, the Fund recognized no transfers between levels.

Note 2 – Derivative Transactions

The Fund has adopted the financial accounting reporting rules as required by the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Fund is required to include enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

The Fund may utilize options for hedging purposes as well as direct investment. Some options strategies, including buying puts, tend to hedge the Fund’s investments against price fluctuations. Other strategies, such as writing puts and calls and buying calls, tend to increase market exposure. Options contracts may be combined with each other in order to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the Fund’s overall strategy in a manner deemed appropriate to the Advisor and consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies.

When a call or put option is written, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability. The liability is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current fair value of the written option. When a written option expires, a gain is realized in the amount of the premium originally received. If a closing purchase contract is entered into, a gain or loss is realized in the amount of the original premium less the cost of the closing transaction. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security which is purchased upon the exercise of the option.

With options, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the options are covered or secured, which means that the Fund will own the underlying security or, to the extent it does not hold the security, will maintain a segregated account with the Fund’s custodian consisting of cash or high-grade securities equal to the market value of the option, marked to market daily. In lieu of maintaining cash or high-grade securities in a segregated account, the Fund may earmark cash or high-grade securities on the Fund’s records or hold offsetting positions.

Options purchased are recorded as investments and marked-to-market daily to reflect the current fair value of the option contract. If an option purchased expires, a loss is realized in the amount of the cost of the option contract. If a closing transaction is entered into, a gain or loss is realized to the extent that the proceeds from the sale are greater or less than the cost of the option. If a purchase put option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security by adjusting the proceeds from such sale by the amount of the premium originally paid. If a purchased call option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased upon exercise is increased by the premium originally paid.

The Fund may enter into total return swap agreements. A total return swap entered into by the Fund is a derivative contract that transfers the market risk of underlying assets. The notional amount of each total return swap agreement is the agreed upon amount or value of the index used for calculating the returns that the parties to a swap agreement have agreed to exchange. The total return swaps are marked-to- market daily and any change is recorded in unrealized gains/(loss) on the statement of operations. A gain or loss will be realized when the total return swap contracts are liquidated and will be presented as net realized gain or loss on swap contracts on the statement of operations.

The Fund may invest in total return swaps to obtain exposure to the underlying referenced instrument, obtain leverage or attain the returns from ownership without actually owning the underlying position. Total return swaps are two-party contracts that generally obligate one party to pay the positive return and the other party to pay the negative return on a specified reference security, security index or index component during the period of the swap. Total return swap contracts are marked-to-market daily based on the value of the underlying reference entity and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Total return swaps normally do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. If the counterparty to a total return swaps defaults, the Fund’s risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive, if any. Total return swaps are derivatives and their value can be volatile. To the extent that an advisor does not accurately analyze and predict future market trends, the values of assets or economic factors, the Fund may suffer a loss, which may exceed the related amounts shown in the statement of assets and liabilities. Periodic payments received or paid by the Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses. Total return swap contracts outstanding at period end are listed after the Fund’s schedule of investments.
