NOTICE OF ADJOURNMENT
WE NEED YOUR HELP
Dear Valued Shareholder,
We need your help. The Special Meeting of Shareholders of your Fund, Centerstone Investors Fund, was adjourned to November 5, 2025, to provide shareholders who have not yet cast their proxy vote more time to do so. Our records indicate that you have not yet voted.
The Board of Trustees recommends that shareholders vote FOR
the approval of the reorganization. PLEASE take a moment to cast your vote TODAY.
As discussed in more detail in the proxy statement sent to you via hard copy or e-delivery, shareholders are being asked to vote on an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization whereby the Fund would be reorganized into a corresponding newly created shell series of Investment Managers Series Trust III. The Board of Trustees of the Northern Lights Fund Trust III – the Fund’s current Trust - has approved the proposal and recommends that shareholders vote FOR the approval of the Reorganization. Following the Reorganization, the net annual operating expenses are expected to be lower, and the transaction is generally expected to be tax-free to the shareholders of the Centerstone Investors Fund for federal income tax purposes.
For more information on the proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization of Centerstone Investors Fund into the FPA Crescent Fund, please refer to the proxy statement, which can be found at vote.proxyonline.com/centerstone/docs/2025mtg.pdf. If you have any proxy related questions or would like to cast your proxy vote by phone, please call 1-800-859-8508 for assistance.
