PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it purchases and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover will cause the Fund to incur additional transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example, may affect the Fund’s performance. Because the Fund has not yet commenced investment operations, no portfolio turnover information is available at this time.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund is an actively managed ETF that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in shares of the Amplify Cash Flow Dividend Leaders ETF (the “COWS ETF”) and in a portfolio that seeks targeted rates of additional income pursuant to a “Call Income Strategy.” As further described below, the Call Income Strategy provides investment exposure to daily sold call option contracts at strike prices above the then-current value

1

of the S&P 500 Index and is designed to supplement the Fund’s investment in the COWS ETF, an exchange-traded fund investing in companies with high cash flows. Amplify Investments LLC (“Amplify Investments” or the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. Kelly Strategic Management, LLC (doing business as Kelly Intelligence) (“Kelly Intelligence”) and Penserra Capital Management LLC (“Penserra,” together with Kelly Intelligence, the “Sub-Advisers”) serve as investment sub-advisers to the Fund (the “Sub-Advisers”).

The Fund’s investment in the COWS ETF

The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in shares of the COWS ETF, a series of the Amplify ETF Trust advised by Amplify Investments, LLC, the investment advisor to the Fund. See below for a summary of the COWS ETF’s principal investment strategies.

The COWS ETF invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S. equity securities that comprise the Kelly US Cash Flow Dividend Leaders Index (the “COWS Index”), which will primarily include common stocks. The Index is based on a proprietary methodology developed and maintained by Kelly Indexes, LLC (the “Index Provider”), an affiliate of Kelly Strategic Management, LLC (doing business as Kelly Intelligence), an investment sub-adviser to the COWS ETF.

COWS Index Methodology. The COWS Index uses an objective, rules-based methodology that is comprised of at least 40 and up to 100 mid- to large-capitalization publicly traded equity securities of US companies exhibiting characteristics of high free cash flow and consistent dividend growth. A company’s “free cash flow” or “FCF” measures its cash flow from operations minus capital expenditures.

The initial index universe is comprised of companies included in the Syntax US 1000 Index. The Syntax US 1000 Index is a broad-based US equity index that tracks the top 1000 companies within the Syntax US 3000 Index, excluding companies in the financials sector as determined by Syntax LLC. The Syntax US 3000 Index is an index of the 3000 largest and most liquid mid-capitalization (generally defined as a company with a market value between $2 billion and $10 billion) and large-capitalization (generally defined as a company with a market value of over $10 billion) US listed publicly traded companies, as ranked by the total market value of each company’s shares that are available for public trading (i.e. its free float-adjusted market capitalization).

To be considered a candidate from the initial universe that is eligible for the Index ranking process, companies must have at least a three-month $3 million average daily trading value (ADTV) based on at least one month of trading history and a positive “Consensus Estimate” (defined as the average consensus forward year FCFs and earnings estimates for such candidate, as determined by an average of publicly available forecasts made by industry analysts). Companies with no forward year estimates available for FCFs or earnings or negative average projected FCFs or earnings are removed from the Index. The remaining securities are ranked in descending order separately by Trailing FCF Yield (defined as trailing 12-month free cash flow divided by enterprise value) and Forward FCF Yield (defined as estimated forward-year free cash flow per share divided by share price).

For each candidate, an “FCF Yield Rank” is created by averaging a candidate’s Trailing FCF Yield rank and Forward FCF Yield rank. From the eligible candidates, the 100 securities with the highest FCF Yield Rank will be selected. A candidate’s Consensus Estimate will be used as a ranking tiebreaker, if necessary. Once selected the securities are then screened for additional cash flow criteria, including screens relating to certain dividend and earnings characteristics.

The minimum amount of constituents is 40. The eligible securities that meet the above criteria are selected in order of their FCF Yield Rank until either 40 securities are selected, or all of the isolated securities are selected. Each security selected pursuant to the previous sentence is initially given a 2.5% position weighting in the Index. If less than 40 securities are selected, then the eligible securities within the top 100 by FCF Yield Rank that have grown one or both of their trailing 12-month dividends and indicated dividend yield compared to the previous quarter are selected. If less than 50 securities are selected after completing the foregoing, then securities are selected from the remaining eligible securities in order of their FCF Yield Rank until 50 securities are selected. Each security selected pursuant to the previous two sentences is initially weighted relative to one another by “Composite FCF Yield” (defined as the average of Trailing FCF Yield and Forward FCF Yield), subject to an initial maximum Index weight of 2%. The final Index weight of each industry represented in the Index is capped at 24%, which may modify the final Index weights of the individual constituents. See “Additional Information About the Fund’s Strategies — COWS Index Methodology” below. In addition to its investment in the COWS ETF, the Fund may from time to time invest directly in the individual equity securities that comprise the COWS ETF.

The Call Income Strategy

Pursuant to its investment objective, the Fund will additionally seek to implement the Call Income Strategy for the purposes of providing income to the Fund that supplements the cash flows received through the Fund’s investment in the COWS ETF. The Call Income Strategy is a rules-based strategy that seeks to provide systematic and non-discretionary income by selling, each day, two call option contracts on the S&P 500 Index with targeted expiration dates of approximately two weeks into the future (the “Call Period”). In general, an option contract gives the purchaser of the option contract the right to purchase (for a call option) or sell (for a put option) the underlying asset at a specified price (the “strike price”), or for cash settled options, deliver cash equal to the difference in value of an underlying asset and the strike price. In exchange for selling the right to buy or sell the particular reference asset, the seller of an option contract receives income from the purchaser (i.e., a “premium”). The Call Income Strategy targets strike prices that produce a 10% annualized gross income from option contract premiums (the “Target Call Income”); however, the amount of income generated by the Call Income Strategy’s sale of the call option contracts will be dependent on market prices and the volatility of S&P 500 Index at the time of each sale. As further described below, the Fund will hold certain assets that

2

serve as collateral allocated to the Call Income Strategy, which will decrease the Fund’s investment exposure to the COWS ETF. The Fund’s allocation to the Call Income Strategy is expected to have the following return profile:

      In the event the S&P 500 Index declines in value, the call option may end up worthless and the Fund as the writer (seller) of the call option retains the premium.

      In the event the S&P 500 Index appreciates above the strike price as of the expiration date of the written option, the Fund as the writer (seller) of the call option will have to pay the difference between the value of the S&P 500 Index and the strike price through a reduction in the Fund’s investment in the COWS ETF (with the amount of premium initially received offsetting all or a portion of such loss.)

The Fund intends to implement the Call Income Strategy by entering into one or more swap agreements with financial institutions for a specified period, which is expected to be at least thirteen months. The swap agreements will seek to exchange the Target Call Income (the rate of which is expected to fluctuate) provided by the Call Income Strategy’s daily sold call options for a set percent of call premium over each Call Period. Through each swap agreement, the Fund and the financial institution will agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on the sold call options. The amount to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties is calculated based on a “notional amount,” which is the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount representing the sold call options. In addition to the swap agreements, the Fund may also directly sell call options to execute the Call Income Strategy.

The Fund will hold assets to serve as collateral for its usage of swap agreements. For those collateral holdings, the Fund may invest in (1) U.S. Government securities, such as bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury; (2) money market funds; (3) short term bond exchange traded funds (ETFs); and/or (4) corporate debt securities, such as commercial paper and other short-term unsecured promissory notes issued by businesses that are rated investment grade or of comparable quality.

Diversification Status. The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND

You could lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved. The principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears.

Active Management Risk. The Fund is actively-managed and its performance reflects investment decisions that the Adviser makes for the Fund. Such judgments about the Fund’s investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and the strategies employed by the Fund fail to produce the intended results, the Fund could underperform as compared to other funds with similar investment objectives and/or strategies, or could have negative returns.

Active Market Risk. Although the Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Shares will develop or be maintained. Shares trade on the Exchange at market prices that may be below, at or above the Fund’s net asset value. Securities, including the Shares, are subject to market fluctuations and liquidity constraints that may be caused by such factors as economic, political, or regulatory developments, changes in interest rates, and/or perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of the Fund could decline in value or underperform other investments.

Authorized Participant Concentration Risk. Only an authorized participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that act as authorized participants (“APs”) on an agency basis (i.e. on behalf of other market participants). To the extent that these institutions exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other authorized participant is able to step forward to create or redeem, in either of these cases, Shares may trade at a discount to the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and possibly face delisting.

Collateral Investments Risk. The Fund’s use of Collateral Investments may include obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, including bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, money market funds, short term bond ETFs and corporate debt securities, such as commercial paper.

Some securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies and U.S. Government-sponsored instrumentalities may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, in which case the investor must look principally to the agency or instrumentality issuing or guaranteeing the security for ultimate repayment, and may not be able to assert a claim against the United States itself in the event that the agency or instrumentality does not meet its commitment. The U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities do not guarantee the market value of their securities, and consequently, the value of such securities may fluctuate. Although the Fund may hold securities that carry U.S. Government guarantees, these guarantees do not extend to shares of the Fund.

Money market funds are subject to management fees and other expenses. Therefore, investments in money market funds will cause the Fund to bear indirectly a proportional share of the fees and costs of the money market funds in which it invests. At the same time, the Fund will continue to pay its own management fees

3

and expenses with respect to all of its assets, including any portion invested in the shares of the money market fund. It is possible to lose money by investing in money market funds.

Short term bond ETFs will generally invest in short-term instruments (i.e., duration of less than one year). The amount of time until a fixed-income security matures can lead to various risks, including changes in interest rates over the life of a bond. Short-term fixed income securities generally provide lower returns than longer-term fixed income securities. The average maturity of an ETF’s investments will affect the volatility of the ETF’s share price.

Corporate debt securities such as commercial paper generally are short-term unsecured promissory notes issued by businesses. Corporate debt may be rated investment-grade or below investment-grade and may carry variable or floating rates of interest. Corporate debt securities carry both credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit risk is the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer of a corporate debt security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. Some corporate debt securities that are rated below investment-grade generally are considered speculative because they present a greater risk of loss, including default, than higher quality debt securities.

Counterparty Risk. Investing in derivatives involves entering into contracts with third parties (i.e., counterparties). The use of derivatives involves risks that are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is or is perceived to be unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, or if any collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such collateral, the value of an investment in the Fund may decline.

Cyber Security Risk. The Fund is susceptible to operational risks through breaches in cyber security. A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity. Such events could cause the Fund to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures and/or financial loss. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems through “hacking” or malicious software coding, but may also result from outside attacks such as denial-of-service attacks through efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users. In addition, cyber security breaches of the Fund’s third-party service providers, such as its administrator, transfer agent, custodian, or sub-adviser, as applicable, or issuers in which the Fund invests, can also subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches. While the Fund has established business continuity plans and risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems. Additionally, there is no

guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because the Fund does not directly control the cyber security systems of issuers or third-party service providers.

Derivatives Risk. The Fund’s use of derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks and larger losses or smaller gains than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives. A derivative refers to any financial instrument whose value is derived, at least in part, from the price of an underlying security, asset, rate or index. The use of derivatives presents risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in traditional securities. Changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying security, asset, rate or index. Gains or losses in a derivative may be magnified and may be much greater than the derivative’s original cost.

      Swap Agreement Risk. The Fund expects to use swap agreements as a means to achieve its investment objective. Swap agreements are generally traded in over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets and have only recently become subject to regulation by the CFTC. CFTC rules, however, do not cover all types of swap agreements. Investors, therefore, may not receive the protection of CFTC regulation or the statutory scheme of the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended in connection with the Fund’s swap agreements. The lack of regulation in these markets could expose investors to significant losses under certain circumstances, including in the event of trading abuses or financial failure by participants. Unlike in futures contracts, the counterparty to uncleared OTC swap agreements is generally a single bank or other financial institution, rather than a clearing organization backed by a group of financial institutions. As a result, the Fund is subject to increased counterparty risk with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to uncleared swaps. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Fund could suffer significant losses on these contracts and the value of an investor’s investment in the Fund may decline. OTC swaps of the type that may be utilized by the Fund are less liquid than futures contracts because they are not traded on an exchange, do not have uniform terms and conditions, and are generally entered into based upon the creditworthiness of the parties and the availability of credit support, such as collateral, and in general, are not transferable without the consent of the counterparty. Swaps are also subject to the risk of imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset underlying the swap and the swap. In that event, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. This, in turn, may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.

      Options Risk. Investing in options and other instruments with option-type elements may increase the volatility and/or transaction expenses of the Fund. An option may expire without value, resulting in a loss of the Fund’s

4

initial investment and may be less liquid and more volatile than an investment in the underlying securities. The Fund’s ability to close out its position as a purchaser of a call option is dependent, in part, upon the liquidity of the options market. There are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation among these markets, causing a given transaction not to achieve its objectives. The Fund may also purchase over-the-counter call options, which involves risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with exchange-listed call options. In some instances, over-the-counter call options may expose the Fund to the risk that a counterparty may be unable to perform according to a contract, and that any deterioration in a counterparty’s creditworthiness could adversely affect the instrument. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to a risk that losses may exceed the amount originally invested.

The Fund may sell FLEX Options, which are customizable, exchange-traded option contracts that are issued and guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (‘OCC”). The Fund bears the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities, such as standardized options. In less liquid markets for the FLEX Options, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. In connection with the creation and redemption of Shares, to the extent market participants are not willing or able to enter into FLEX Option transactions with the Fund at prices that reflect the market price of the Shares, the Fund’s net asset value and, in turn the share price of the Fund, could be negatively impacted.

The Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to level of value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivative portfolio. Although the Fund has, among other things, adopted and implemented a written derivatives risk management program to comply with limitations on risks relating to its derivatives transactions, to the extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s investment strategy.

Equity Securities Risk. The Fund invests in the COWS ETF which invests in equity securities. The value of the Shares will fluctuate with changes in the value of the equity securities in which it invests. Equity securities prices fluctuate for several reasons, including changes in investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general condition of the relevant stock market, such as the current market volatility, or when political or economic events affecting the issuers occur.

ETF Risk. The Fund’s investment in shares of the COWS ETF subjects it to the risks of owning the securities underlying the ETF, as well as the same structural risks faced by an investor purchasing shares of the Fund, including premium/discount risk and trading issues risk. As a shareholder in another ETF, the Fund bears its proportionate share of the ETF’s expenses, subjecting Fund shareholders to duplicative expenses.

Inflation Risk. Inflation may reduce the intrinsic value of increases in the value of the Fund. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the value of the Fund’s assets can decline as can the value of the Fund’s distributions.

Large-Capitalization Investing Risk. The Fund invests in the COWS ETF which invests in large capitalization companies. Large-capitalization companies may be less able than smaller-capitalization companies to adapt to changing market conditions. Large-capitalization companies may be more mature and subject to more limited growth potential compared with smaller-capitalization companies. During different market cycles, the performance of large capitalization companies has trailed the overall performance of the broader securities markets.

Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed portfolio. The Sub-Advisers will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that the Fund will meet its investment objectives.

Market Maker Risk. If the Fund has lower average daily trading volumes, it may rely on a small number of third-party market makers to provide a market for the purchase and sale of Shares. Any trading halt or other problem relating to the trading activity of these market makers could result in a dramatic change in the spread between the Fund’s net asset value and the price at which the Shares are trading on the Exchange, which could result in a decrease in value of the Shares. In addition, decisions by market makers or authorized participants to reduce their role or step away from these activities in times of market stress could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying values of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the Fund’s market price. This reduced effectiveness could result in Shares trading at a discount to net asset value and also in greater than normal intra-day bid-ask spreads for Shares.

Market Risk. Market risk is the risk that a particular security owned by the Fund or the Shares in general may fall in value, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest. Securities are subject to market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic, political, regulatory or market developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in securities prices, and changes in investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general condition of the relevant stock market, such as the current market volatility. Overall security values could decline generally or could underperform other investments. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, acts of

5

terrorism, spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its investments. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to contain its spread resulted in extreme volatility in the financial markets. While the development of vaccines has slowed the spread of the disease, there is no guarantee that the vaccines will be effective against emerging variants of the disease. As the global pandemic illustrated, such events may affect certain regions, sectors and industries more significantly than others. Such events could also adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio securities or other instruments and could result in disruptions to trading markets. Any of such circumstances could materially negatively impact the value of the Fund’s Shares and result in increased market volatility. During any such events, the Fund’s Shares may trade at an increased premium or discount to its NAV.

New Fund Risk. The Fund is new and currently has fewer assets than larger funds, and like other new funds, large inflows and outflows may impact the Fund’s market exposure for limited periods of time. This impact may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of market movement during the period affected. Additionally, because the Fund has fewer assets than larger funds over which to spread its fixed costs, its expense levels on a percentage basis will be higher than that of a larger Fund.

Non-Diversification Risk. Because the Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance. The Fund seeks to achieve a portion of its investment objective by entering into one or more swap agreements. In seeking this objective, the Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in swap agreements with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. As a result, the Fund may experience increased volatility and be more susceptible to a single economic or regulatory occurrence affecting the issuer or one or more of the counterparties.

Operational Risk. The Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Fund’s service providers, counterparties or other third-parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Fund, Adviser and Sub-Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address these risks.

Premium/Discount Risk. The NAV of Shares will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The market prices of Shares will generally fluctuate in accordance with change in NAV as well as the relative supply of and demand for Shares on the Exchange. The Fund cannot

predict whether Shares will trade bellow (discount), at or above (premium) their NAV. Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the holdings of the Fund trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time.

Trading Issues Risk. Although the Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such Shares will develop or be maintained. Shares trade on the Exchange at market prices that may be below, at or above the Fund’s NAV. Trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. Market makers are under no obligation to make a market in the Fund’s Shares, and authorized participants are not obligated to submit purchase or redemption orders for Creation Units. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged. The Fund may have difficulty maintaining its listing on the Exchange in the event the Fund’s assets are small or the Fund does not have enough shareholders. Further, shares of the Fund could decline in value or underperform other investments.

Valuation Risk. During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the ability of the Fund to value its investments will become more difficult. In market environments where there is reduced availability of reliable objective pricing data, the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser in determining the fair value of the security may play a greater role. While such determinations may be made in good faith, it may nevertheless be more difficult for the Fund to accurately assign a daily value.

The Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

PERFORMANCE

As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund has not yet commenced operations and therefore does not have a performance history. Once available, the Fund’s performance information will be accessible on the Fund’s website at www.amplifyetfs.com and will provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND

Investment Adviser. Amplify Investments LLC

Sub-Advisers. Kelly Strategic Management, LLC and Penserra Capital Management LLC

6

Portfolio Managers. The following individuals serve as portfolio managers to the Fund.

      Kevin Kelly, Chief Executive Officer at Kelly Intelligence

      Gerry O’Donnell, Director at Kelly Intelligence

      Dustin Lewellyn, CFA, Chief Investment Officer at Penserra

      Ernesto Tong, CFA, Managing Director at Penserra

      Anand Desai, Senior Vice President at Penserra

The portfolio managers are primarily and jointly responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The portfolio managers have served as part of the portfolio management team of the Fund since its inception in September 2023.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES

The Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only with APs that have entered into agreements with the Fund’s distributor and only in Creation Units (large blocks of 10,000 Shares) or multiples thereof (“Creation Unit Aggregations”), in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities in which the Fund invests and/or cash. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.

Individual Shares may only be bought and sold in the secondary market (i.e., on a national securities exchange) through a broker or dealer at a market price. Because the Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (at a premium), at NAV, or less than NAV (at a discount). An investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase Shares (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for Shares (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the bid-ask spread”).

Recent information, including information on the Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, is available online at www.amplifyetfs.com.

TAX INFORMATION

The Fund’s distributions will generally be taxable as ordinary income or capital gains. A sale of Shares may result in capital gain or loss.

PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES

If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Adviser and Foreside Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s distributor, may pay the intermediary for the sale of Shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
