January 19, 2024
Dear Shareholder,
The Special Meeting of Shareholders of the IQ Ultra Short Duration ETF (Ticker: ULTR) has been adjourned until February 14, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Historically, ETFs that are primarily owned by retail investors have a slower ascent to reaching the vote requirement threshold making it critical for shareholders with smaller positions to vote. I am pleased to report that we continue to see increasing vote participation and strong support from your fellow shareholders who have voted in favor of the new subadvisor and manager of manager proposals.
As of January 17th, greater than 85% of shares cast by your fellow shareholders have voted FOR the new subadvisor and manager of manager proposals. Please join your fellow investors who have voted and take advantage of your right to vote by supporting the new subadvisor and manager of manager proposals.
Please take a few minutes to sign, date, and mail the enclosed proxy card in the prepaid envelope or follow the instructions below to vote by telephone or internet.
