Dear Sirs and Madams:

This will confirm the agreement between the undersigned (the “Trust”) and you (the “Distributor”) as follows:

A separate series of shares of beneficial interest in the Trust is offered to investors with respect to each investment portfolio. The PIMCO Multisector Bond Active Exchange-Traded Fund (the “Fund”) is a separate investment portfolio of the Trust.

2.  The Trust and the Distributor have entered into a Distribution Contract (the “Contract”) dated November 9, 2010, pursuant to which the Distributor has agreed to be the distributor of shares of the Trust on the Effective Date as that term is defined in the Contract.

3.   As provided in paragraph 1 of the Contract, the Distributor hereby adopts the Contract with respect to the Fund and the Distributor hereby acknowledges that the Contract, as amended below, shall pertain to the Fund, the terms and conditions of such Contract being hereby incorporated herein by reference.

4. The Trust and the Distributor hereby agree to amend the Contract as of the date hereof to add the Fund to Schedule A, and to make certain changes with respect to the PIMCO Government Limited Maturity Active Exchange-Traded Fund (which has been renamed the PIMCO Ultra Short Government Active Exchange-Traded Fund). Accordingly, the current Schedule A is replaced with the new Schedule A attached hereto.

5.   This Supplement and the Contract shall become effective with respect to the Fund on May 17, 2023 and shall continue in effect for a period not to exceed two years from the effective date of this Supplement and shall continue thereafter on an annual basis with respect to the Fund only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (a) the Trust’s Board of Trustees or, with respect to the Fund, by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, as applicable (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)), and (b) by the vote, cast in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the rules and any applicable Securities and Exchange Commission guidance or relief thereunder at a meeting called for the purpose, of a majority of the Trust’s Trustees who are not parties to this Contract or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any such party. This Contract and Supplement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940


Act). This Contract and Supplement may, in any event, be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty, by the Fund or the Distributor upon not more than 60 days’ and not less than 30 days’ written notice to the other party.
