<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Under normal market circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80%
of its net assets in equity securities of small-cap companies. Equity securities include American depositary receipts ("ADRs"),
convertible securities, foreign and domestic common and preferred stocks, rights and warrants. While there is no limit on investing
in foreign securities, the Fund does not expect investments in foreign securities to exceed 20% of the Fund's total assets. The
Fund's adviser considers small market capitalization ("small-cap") companies for this purpose to be those companies that,
at the time of initial purchase (including the existing portfolio), have market capitalizations generally within the range of companies
included in the Russell 2000® Index on a rolling three-year basis. The Fund will not change this policy unless it notifies
shareholders at least 60 days in advance. For purposes of this policy, "net assets" includes any borrowings for investment
purposes. The Adviser follows an investment style sometimes called "GARP" or "Growth At a Reasonable Price."
The Adviser generally invests the Fund's assets in small-cap companies with expected earnings growth that exceed that of the average
of all U.S. publicly traded companies, where valuations seem reasonable compared to the expected earnings growth, where fundamental
financial characteristics appear to be strong, where (in the Adviser's opinion) the business model offers sustainable competitive
advantage, and where management has an important ownership stake in the company. The Adviser uses a bottom-up approach in selecting
securities. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.</p>
<p style="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Under normal market circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80%
of its net assets in equity securities of small-to-mid ("smid") capitalization companies. Equity securities include American
depositary receipts ("ADRs"), convertible securities, foreign and domestic common and preferred stocks, rights and warrants.
While there is no limit on investing in foreign securities, the Fund does not expect investment in foreign securities to exceed
20% of the Fund's total assets. From the date of this Prospectus until April 1, 2018, "Small and Mid-cap companies" are
deemed to be companies that, at the time of initial purchase, have market capitalizations between $250 million and $12 billion.
Effective April 1, 2018, The Fund's adviser will consider smid capitalization companies to be those companies that, at the time

The Board of Trustees of the Trust will limit the Distribution (12b-1) Fees charged to Investors Class shares of the Fund to 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to Investors Class shares until at least September 30, 2018. The Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for Investors Class Shares reflect the maximum 0.25% in Distribution (12b-1) fees authorized under the Distribution Plan for Investors Class Shares and do not match the ratio of total expenses to average net assets in the financial highlights for Investors Class Shares, which reflect the 0.05% in Distribution (12b-1) Fees paid by Investors Class Shares for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017.
The Fund has adopted Shareholder Servicing Plans on behalf of the Investors Class and the Institutional Class that will allow the Fund to pay an annual fee of up to 0.25% (for Investors Class) and 0.10% (for Institutional Class) of its average daily net assets for providing services to the Fund's Investors Class shareholders and Institutional Class shareholders, respectively.
Conestoga Capital Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser") has contractually agreed to limit the Fund's 'Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses' (excluding taxes, extraordinary expenses, reorganization expenses, brokerage commissions, interest, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of such Fund's business) to 0.90% (for the Institutional Class) and 1.10% (for the Investors Class) of the Fund's average daily net assets until at least January 31, 2019, subject to termination at any time at the option of the Board of Trustees (the "Board"). If it becomes unnecessary for the Adviser to waive fees or make reimbursements, the Adviser may recapture any of its prior waivers or reimbursements for a period not to exceed two fiscal years after the fiscal year in which the waiver or reimbursement was made to the extent such a recapture does not cause the "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" to exceed the applicable expense limitation that was in effect at the time of the waiver or reimbursement.
