Grail Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) has entered into a letter of intent concerning a transaction involving its ownership interests in order to enable it to continue its operations, including paying its future obligations under its fee waiver and expense reimbursement agreements.  A sale of the Manager’s interests, if consummated, may result in the assignment of its existing advisory agreements with the ETFs, requiring shareholder approval in order for the Manager to continue as an ETF’s investment adviser. A sale of the Manager’s interests, if consummated, may, depending upon a buyer’s future plans, result in the liquidation of certain ETFs.  If the Manager is unsuccessful in its efforts to consummate a transaction or to recapitalize, all of the ETFs may be liquidated.  The Board of Trustees of the Trust has the authority to approve the liquidation of each ETF, without shareholder approval.
