Dear Valued Shareholder,
We still need your help. Today we adjourned the Special Meeting of Shareholders until Friday, October 7th in order to provide shareholders who have yet to cast their proxy vote with more time to do so.

As discussed in more detail in the Combined Proxy Statement and Prospectus previously sent to you, shareholders are being asked to consider and vote to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization to reorganize your existing Fund into the EA Bridgeway Blue Chip ETF. The Board is recommending that shareholders vote “FOR” the proposal.
