BRIGHT ROCK FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

August 31, 2026 (Unaudited)

(1) ORGANIZATION

Trust for Professional Managers (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated May 29, 2001. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Bright Rock Funds (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) are comprised of the Bright Rock Mid Cap Fund (the “Mid Cap Fund”) and the Bright Rock Large Cap Fund (the “Large Cap Fund”), each representing a distinct diversified series with its own investment objective and policies within the Trust. Prior to June 28, 2026, the Bright Rock Mid Cap Fund was named the Bright Rock Mid Cap Growth Fund and the Bright Rock Large Cap Fund was named the Bright Rock Quality Large Cap Fund. The investment objective of both Funds is long-term capital appreciation. The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $0.001 par value. The assets of the Funds are segregated, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. Each Fund is a series of an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”. Each Fund has registered both Investor Class shares and Institutional Class shares. Each Fund currently offers only Institutional Class shares. The Institutional Class shares of each Fund commenced operations on May 26, 2010. Bright Rock Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) serves as the Funds’ investment adviser.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of the financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

(a)

Investment Valuation. Each equity security owned by a Fund that is listed on a securities exchange, except for securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC (“NASDAQ”), is valued at its last sale price on that exchange on the date as of which assets are valued. Forward currency contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices by an approved independent pricing service (“Pricing Service”). Commodities futures contracts and options thereon traded on a commodities exchange or board of trade are valued at the last sale price at the close of trading. Rights and warrants are valued at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded.

If the security is listed on more than one exchange, a Fund will use the price of the exchange that the Fund generally considers to be the principal exchange on which the security is traded. Portfolio securities listed on NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If there has been no sale on such exchange or on NASDAQ on such day, the security is valued at the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices at the close of the exchange on such day or the security shall be valued at the latest sales price on the “composite market” for the day such security is being valued. The composite market is defined as a consolidation of the trade information provided by national securities and foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets as published by a Pricing Service.

Money market funds, demand notes and repurchase agreements are valued at cost. If cost does not represent current market value the securities will be priced at fair value.

Redeemable securities issued by open-end, registered investment companies are valued at the net asset values (“NAVs”) of such companies for purchase and/or redemption orders placed on that day. If, on a particular day, a share of an investment company is not listed on NASDAQ, such security’s fair value will be determined. All exchange-traded funds are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. In the event market quotations are not readily available, such security will be valued at its fair value.

If market quotations are not readily available, a security or other asset will be valued at its fair value in accordance with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act as determined under the Adviser’s fair value pricing procedures, subject to oversight by the Board of Trustees. These fair value pricing procedures will also be used to price a security when corporate events, events in the securities market and/or world events cause the Adviser to believe that a security’s last sale price may not reflect its actual fair market value. The intended effect of using

12


TABLE OF CONTENTS

BRIGHT ROCK FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

August 31, 2026 (Unaudited)(Continued)

fair value pricing procedures is to ensure that the Funds are accurately priced. The Adviser will regularly evaluate whether the Funds’ fair value pricing procedures continue to be appropriate in light of the specific circumstances of the Funds and the quality of prices obtained through the application of such procedures.

FASB Accounting Standards Codification, “Fair Value Measurement” Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), establishes an authoritative definition of fair value and sets out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. ASC 820 requires an entity to evaluate certain factors to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for the security such that recent transactions and quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value and further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. ASC 820 also requires enhanced disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value in those instances as well as expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 –

Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 –

Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 –

Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments carried at fair value as of August 31, 2026:

For the six months ended August 31, 2026, the Funds did not hold any Level 3 securities. The Funds did not hold financial derivative instruments during the six months ended August 31, 2026.

(b)

Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund complies with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and make the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to its shareholders sufficient to relieve each Fund from all or substantially all federal income taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been provided.

(c)

Distributions to Shareholders. The Mid Cap Fund will make distributions of net investment income and net capital gain, if any, at least annually. The Large Cap Fund will make distributions of net investment income, if any, at least quarterly, and net capital gain, if any, at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for

13


TABLE OF CONTENTS

BRIGHT ROCK FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

August 31, 2026 (Unaudited)(Continued)

book purposes may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds may also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements.

The amount of the dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment.

(d)

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(e)

Share Valuation. The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by each Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for each Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share for each Fund is equal to the Fund’s NAV per share.

(f)

Allocation of Income, Expenses and Gains/Losses. Income, expenses (other than those deemed attributable to a specific share class), and gains and losses of the Funds are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of the net assets of each Fund. Expenses deemed directly attributable to a class of shares are recorded by the specific class. Most Fund expenses are allocated by class based on relative net assets. Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that fund. Common Trust expenses are typically allocated evenly between the funds of the Trust, or by other equitable means.

(g)

Other. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss from investment transactions using the best tax relief order. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.

(h)

Segment Reporting. Each Fund’s income, expenses, assets, and performance are regularly monitored and assessed by the Director of Research of the Adviser, who serves as the chief operating decision maker, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026, no such reclassifications were required.

The Funds had no material uncertain tax positions and had not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of February 28, 2026. Also, the Funds recognized no interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in fiscal year 2026. At February 28, 2026, the fiscal years 2023 through 2026 remained open to examination in the Funds’ major tax jurisdictions.

(4) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Adviser to furnish investment advisory services to the Funds. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Trust, on behalf of the Mid Cap Fund and the Large Cap Fund, compensated the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 0.45% of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse each Fund’s other expenses at least through June 28, 2028, to the extent necessary to ensure that each Fund’s total operating expenses (exclusive of front-end or contingent deferred sales loads, Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder servicing plan fees, taxes, leverage expenses, interest, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, dividends or interest on short positions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses such as litigation) do not exceed 1.25% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. Any such waiver or reimbursement is subject to later adjustment to allow the Adviser to recoup amounts waived or reimbursed within three years from the date such amount was waived or reimbursed, subject to the operating expense limitation agreement, if such reimbursements will not cause a Fund to exceed the lesser of: (1) the expense limitation in place at the time of the waiver and/or expense payment; or (2) the expense limitation in place at the time of the recoupment. The Funds did not have any previously waived expenses subject to potential recoupment at period end.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services) (“Fund Services”) serves as the Funds’ administrator under a Fund Administration Servicing Agreement. Fund Services prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Funds; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the Trustees; monitors the activities of the Funds’ custodian, transfer agent and accountant; and coordinates the preparation and payment of the Funds’ expenses and reviews the Funds’ expense accruals. Fund Services also serves as the Funds’ accountant under a Fund Accounting Servicing Agreement and transfer agent under a Transfer Agent Servicing Agreement. U.S. Bank, National Association (“U.S. Bank”), an affiliate of Fund Services, serves as each Fund’s custodian. Fees and expenses incurred for the six months ended August 31, 2026, and owed as of August 31, 2026, are included in the Statements of Operations and Statements of Assets and Liabilities, respectively.

The Funds each have a line of credit with U.S. Bank (see Note 6).

(5) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The aggregate purchases and sales of securities, excluding short-term investments, by the Funds during the six months ended August 31, 2026 are summarized below. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. government securities by the Funds during the six months ended August 31, 2026.

(6) LINE OF CREDIT

The Funds each have lines of credit, maturing July 31, 2027, of the lesser of 33.33% of the fair value of unencumbered net assets of a Fund or the amount of $3,500,000 and $25,000,000 for the Mid Cap Fund and Large Cap Fund, respectively. These unsecured lines of credit are intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, and subject to certain restrictions, in connection with shareholder redemptions. The credit facility is with the Funds’ custodian, U.S. Bank. Interest on amounts borrowed under the line of credit will be accrued at the prime rate, which was 6.75% as of August 31, 2026. The Mid Cap Fund and Large Cap Fund did not draw on their respective lines of credit during the six months ended August 31, 2026.

(7) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. At August 31, 2026, SEI Private Trust Company, for benefit of Rockland Trust Company, held 84.50% and 66.36% of shares outstanding for the Mid Cap Fund and the Large Cap Fund, respectively. LPL Financial, for the benefit of its customers, held 32.31% of the Large Cap Fund’s shares outstanding.

(8) SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On September 15, 2026, the Large Cap Fund declared and paid a distribution of $865,559 to the shareholders of record on September 14, 2026.

The Funds have evaluated events and transactions that have occurred subsequent to August 31, 2026 and determined there were no other subsequent events that would require recognition or disclosure in financial statements.

(9) RECENT MARKET EVENTS

U.S. and international markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including uncertainty regarding inflation and central banks’ interest rate changes, the possibility of a national or global recession, trade tensions, and tariffs, political events and geopolitical conflicts. As a result of continuing political tensions and armed conflicts, including the wars in Europe and the Middle East, markets have experienced increased volatility. These developments, as well as other events, could result in further market volatility and negatively affect financial asset prices, the liquidity of certain securities and the normal operations of securities exchanges and other markets, despite government efforts to address market disruptions. Continuing market volatility as a result of recent market conditions or other events may have adverse effects on the performance of the Funds.

(10) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. Effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, the amendments require greater disaggregation of disclosures related to income taxes paid. The Funds have adopted ASU 2023-09, with no material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) of Trust for Professional Managers (the “Trust”) met on August 19, 2026 to consider the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the Bright Rock Mid Cap Fund and the Bright Rock Large Cap Fund (each, a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”), each a series of the Trust, and Bright Rock Capital Management, LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The Trustees also met at a prior meeting held on June 17, 2026 (the “June 17, 2026 meeting”) to review materials related to the renewal of the Agreement. Prior to these meetings, the Trustees requested and received materials to assist them in considering the renewal of the Agreement. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including a copy of the Agreement, a memorandum prepared by the Trust’s outside legal counsel discussing in detail the Trustees’ fiduciary obligations and the factors they should assess in considering the renewal of the Agreement, detailed comparative information relating to the Funds’ performance, as well as the management fees and other expenses of the Funds, due diligence materials relating to the Adviser (including a due diligence questionnaire completed on behalf of the Funds by the Adviser, the Adviser’s Form ADV, select financial statements of the Adviser, biographical information of the Adviser’s key management and compliance personnel, comparative fee information for the Funds and the separately-managed accounts of the Adviser’s parent company, and a summary detailing key provisions of the Adviser’s written compliance program, including its code of ethics) and other pertinent information. The Trustees also received information periodically throughout the year that was relevant to the Agreement renewal process, including performance, management fee and other expense information. Based on their evaluation of the information provided by the Adviser, in conjunction with the Funds’ other service providers, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”)), approved the continuation of the Agreement for an additional one-year term ending August 31, 2027.

DISCUSSION OF FACTORS CONSIDERED

In considering the renewal of the Agreement and reaching their conclusions, the Trustees reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors enumerated below.

1. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE FUNDS

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds and the amount of time devoted to the Funds’ operations by the Adviser’s staff. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day management of the Funds, including the investment strategies implemented by the Adviser, as well as the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of Douglas S. Butler and David B. Smith, the Funds’ portfolio managers, and other key personnel at the Adviser involved in the day-to-day activities of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser in a due diligence questionnaire, including the structure of the Adviser’s compliance program and its continuing commitment to the Funds. The Trustees noted that during the course of the prior year the Adviser had participated in a Trust board meeting to discuss the Funds’ performance and outlook, along with the compliance efforts made by the Adviser, including reports provided by the Adviser in its role as the Funds’ valuation designee. The Trustees also noted any services that extended beyond portfolio management, and they considered the brokerage practices of the Adviser. The Trustees discussed the Adviser’s handling of compliance matters, including the reports of the Trust’s chief compliance officer to the Trustees on the effectiveness of the Adviser’s compliance program. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s overall financial condition, as well as the

implementation and operational effectiveness of the Adviser’s business continuity plan. The Trustees concluded that the Adviser had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services provided to the Funds, as well as the Adviser’s compliance program, were satisfactory and reliable.

2. INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS AND THE ADVISER

The Trustees discussed the performance of the Institutional Class shares of the Bright Rock Mid Cap Fund and Bright Rock Large Cap Fund for the quarter, one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2026. In assessing the quality of the portfolio management services delivered by the Adviser, the Trustees also compared the short-term and longer-term performance of the Institutional Class shares of the Funds on both an absolute basis and in comparison to a benchmark index (the Russell Midcap Growth Total Return Index for the Bright Rock Mid Cap Fund and the S&P 500 Total Return Index for the Bright Rock Large Cap Fund) and in comparison to a peer group of funds as constructed using publicly-available data provided by Morningstar, Inc. and presented by Barrington Financial Group, LLC d/b/a Barrington Partners, an independent third-party benchmarking firm, through its cohort selection process (a peer group of U.S. mid-cap growth and mid-cap blend mutual funds for the Bright Rock Mid Cap Fund and a peer group of U.S. large-cap blend, large-cap value and large-cap growth mutual funds for the Bright Rock Large Cap Fund) (each, a “Barrington Cohort”). The Trustees noted that the Adviser did not manage any other accounts with the same or similar investment strategies as the Bright Rock Mid Cap Fund, but considered the comparison to an applicable composite for the Bright Rock Large Cap Fund.

The Trustees noted the Bright Rock Mid Cap Fund’s performance for Institutional Class shares for each of the one-year, three-year and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2026 was below the Barrington Cohort average. The Trustees also noted that the Bright Rock Mid Cap Fund’s performance for the five-year period ended March 31, 2026 was above the Barrington Cohort average. The Trustees noted that for the one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2026, the Bright Rock Mid Cap Fund’s performance for Institutional Class shares had underperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Total Return Index. The Trustees noted that for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Institutional Class shares of the Bright Rock Mid Cap Fund had outperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Total Return Index.

The Trustees noted that the Bright Rock Large Cap Fund’s performance for Institutional Class shares for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2026 was below the Barrington Cohort average. The Trustees noted that for the one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2026, the Bright Rock Large Cap Fund’s performance for Institutional Class shares had underperformed the S&P 500 Total Return Index. The Trustees noted that for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Institutional Class shares of the Bright Rock Large Cap Fund had outperformed the S&P 500 Total Return Index.

After considering all of the information, the Trustees concluded that the performance obtained by the Adviser for each Fund was satisfactory under current market conditions. Although past performance is not a guarantee or indication of future results, the Trustees determined that each Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from the Adviser’s continued management.

3. COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND PROFITS REALIZED BY THE ADVISER

The Trustees considered the cost of services and the structure of the Adviser’s fees, including a review of the expense analyses and other pertinent material with respect to the Funds. The Trustees reviewed the related statistical information and other materials provided, including the comparative expenses and Barrington Cohort comparisons. The Trustees considered the cost structure of each Fund relative to its Barrington Cohort and the separately-managed accounts of the Adviser’s parent company.

The Trustees also considered the overall profitability of the Adviser and reviewed the Adviser’s financial information. The Trustees also examined the level of profits that could be expected to accrue to the Adviser from the fees payable under the Advisory Agreement, as well as the Funds’ brokerage practices and use of soft dollars by the Adviser. These considerations were based on materials requested by the Trustees and the Funds’ administrator specifically for the June 17, 2026 meeting and the August 19, 2026 meeting at which the Advisory Agreement was formally considered, as well as the reports prepared by the Adviser over the course of the year.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)(Continued)

The Trustees noted that the Bright Rock Mid Cap Fund’s contractual management fee of 0.45% was below the Barrington Cohort average of 0.72%. The Trustees noted that the Bright Rock Mid Cap Fund was operating below its expense cap of 1.25% for Institutional Class shares. The Trustees observed that the Bright Rock Mid Cap Fund’s total expense ratio of 0.90% for Institutional Class shares was below the Barrington Cohort average of 0.96%. The Trustees also compared the fees paid by the Bright Rock Mid Cap Fund to the fees paid by separately-managed accounts of the Adviser’s parent company that are managed by the same portfolio management team as the Fund. 

The Trustees noted that the Bright Rock Large Cap Fund’s contractual management fee of 0.45% was below the Barrington Cohort average of 0.60%. The Trustees noted that the Bright Rock Large Cap Fund was operating below its expense cap of 1.25% for Institutional Class shares. The Trustees observed that the Bright Rock Large Cap Fund’s total expense ratio of 0.71% for Institutional Class shares was below the Barrington Cohort average of 0.84%. The Trustees also compared the fees paid by the Bright Rock Large Cap Fund to the fees paid by separately-managed accounts of the Adviser’s parent company that are managed by the same portfolio management team as the Fund.

The Trustees concluded that each Fund’s expenses and the management fees paid to the Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance, expense and management fee information. The Trustees noted, based on a profitability analysis prepared by the Adviser, that the Adviser was not realizing profits in connection with its management of each Fund, after rebating fees to its parent company and reflecting marketing and distribution expenses, and the Trustees further concluded that the Adviser’s parent company maintained adequate profit levels to support the services to each Fund from the revenues of its overall investment advisory business.

4. EXTENT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE AS THE FUNDS GROW

The Trustees compared each Fund’s expenses relative to its peer group and discussed realized and potential economies of scale. The Trustees also reviewed the structure of each Fund’s management fee and whether each Fund was large enough to generate economies of scale for shareholders or whether economies of scale would be expected to be realized as Fund assets grow (and if so, how those economies of scale were being or would be shared with shareholders). The Trustees noted that the Funds’ management fee structures did not contain any breakpoint reductions as each Fund’s assets grow in size, but that the feasibility of incorporating breakpoints would continue to be reviewed on a regular basis. With respect to the Adviser’s fee structures, the Trustees concluded that the current fee structures were reasonable and reflected a sharing of economies of scale between the Adviser and each Fund at the Fund’s current asset level.

5. BENEFITS DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUNDS

The Trustees considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be received by the Adviser from its association with the Funds. The Trustees examined the brokerage practices of the Adviser with respect to the Funds. The Trustees concluded that the benefits the Adviser may receive, such as greater name recognition and increased ability to obtain research or brokerage services or attract additional investor assets, appear to be reasonable, and in many cases may benefit the Funds.

CONCLUSIONS

The Trustees considered all of the foregoing factors. In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any one factor as all-important, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of each Fund’s surrounding circumstances. Based on this review, the Trustees, all of whom are Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term ending August 31, 2027 as being in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
