How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

The Running Oak Efficient Growth ETF (the “Fund”) is an actively managed portfolio comprised of large- and mid-capitalization U.S. stocks. It seeks to identify high-quality companies that exhibit the greatest combination of above-average earnings growth, attractive valuations, and lower downside risk, while avoiding stocks that possess characteristics historically associated with greater downside volatility.

Returns for large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks were broadly positive over the reporting period. Key drivers during this time included Federal Reserve interest-rate policy, inflation trends, the resilience of the U.S. economy and labor market, continued strength in corporate earnings and investment related to artificial intelligence, evolving trade and tariff policy, and geopolitical tensions. Markets experienced periods of volatility as expectations surrounding these factors shifted, but U.S. equities remained resilient. While some of the uncertainty surrounding trade policy and interest rates has evolved, these factors, along with corporate earnings and the broader economic and geopolitical environment, continue to shape the investment landscape.

The Fund's disciplined approach emphasizes companies with attractive earnings growth and valuations, while seeking to limit exposure to characteristics historically associated with greater downside volatility. This positioning can result in periods of relative underperformance when market leadership is concentrated among a narrow group of very large companies or when higher-valued growth stocks outperform more broadly across the market. While this positioning was a headwind to relative performance during the reporting period, management believes the Fund's focus on earnings growth, valuation discipline, and downside risk remains appropriate for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation through a disciplined and repeatable investment process.

ORGANIZATION

Running\nOak Efficient Growth ETF (the “Fund”) is a non-diversified series of Strategic Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust, a Delaware\nStatutory Trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management\ninvestment company. Running Oak Capital, LLC (the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. The inception date\nof the Fund was June 7, 2023. The Fund is an actively managed exchanged-traded fund (“ETF”). The offering of the Fund’s\nshares (“Shares”) is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek\nlong-term growth of capital.

\n \n \n \n \n

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The\nfollowing is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies\nare in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of\nfinancial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities\nand disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses\nfor the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is an investment company, and accordingly, follows the investment\ncompany accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification\n(“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

Segment\nReporting – An operating segment is defined as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which\nit may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating\ndecision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has\ndiscrete financial information available. The CODM is comprised of the portfolio manager and Chief Financial Officer of the Trust. The\nFund operates as a single operating segment. The Fund’s income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations\nand performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of the Fund, using the\ninformation presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

Accounting\nPronouncement – The Fund adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to\nIncome Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which establishes new income tax disclosure requirements and modifies or eliminates\ncertain existing disclosure provisions. The amendments in this ASU are intended to address investor requests for more transparency about\nincome tax information and to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The Fund’s adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have\na material impact on the Fund’s financial statements.

Securities\nvaluation – The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Fund is calculated each business day as of the close of regular\ntrading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The Fund’s NAV per share is computed\nby dividing the Fund’s net assets by the number of shares outstanding. When calculating the NAV of the Fund’s shares, securities\nheld by the Fund are valued at market quotations when reliable market quotations are readily available. Exchange traded securities and\ninstruments (including equity securities, depositary receipts, and ETFs) are generally valued at the last reported sale price on the principal\nexchange on which such securities are traded (at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price for NASDAQ listed securities), as of the close of regular\ntrading on the NYSE on the day the securities are being valued, or, if there are no sales, at the mean of the most recent bid and ask\nprices. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) securities and instruments not traded on an exchange are generally valued at the last traded\nprice. In the absence of a recorded transaction sale price or if the last sale price is

\n \n \n \n \n \n \n

Running\n Oak Efficient Growth ETF

NOTES\n TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

August\n 31, 2026

unavailable,\nOTC securities are valued at the mean between last bid and ask, as quoted. If an ask price for an OTC security is unavailable, the last\nbid price is used. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described below.

The\nBoard of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved valuation procedures for the Fund (the “Valuation Procedures”), which\nwill be used for determining fair value of any Fund investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The valuation of\nthe Fund’s investments is performed in accordance with the principles found in Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act and in conjunction with\nFASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The Board has designated the Adviser as the valuation designee of\nthe Fund. As valuation designee, the Adviser performs the fair value determination relating to any and all Fund investments, subject to\nthe conditions and oversight requirements described in the Valuation Procedures. The Adviser may consult with representatives from outside\nlegal counsel or other third-party consultants in their discussions and deliberations. Fair valuations may be used in a variety of circumstances,\nincluding, but not limited to, situations when the value of a security has been materially affected by events occurring after the close\nof the market on which such security is principally traded (such as a corporate action or other news that may materially affect the price\nof such security) or trading in such security has been suspended or halted. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 2\nor Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy described below. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments, and it is possible that a fair\nvalue determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of such security.

The\nFund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed\nbased on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund (observable inputs) and (2) the Fund’s own assumptions about market\nparticipant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels\ndefined by the hierarchy are as follows:

Level\n1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

Level\n2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit\nrisk, etc.).

Level\n3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The\ninputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The\nfollowing is a summary of inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of August 31, 2026:

Assets	Level 1		Level 2			Level 3		Total
Investments
Common\n Stocks *	$	407,088,263		$	—		$	—	$	407,088,263

Total\n Investments	$	415,562,569		$	—		$	—	$	415,562,569

The\nFund did not hold any Level 2 or Level 3 securities during the year.

Dividends\nand Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Distributable\nnet realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from\nnet realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax”\ndifferences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent\nin nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences\ndo not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Security\nTransactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recognized on\nan accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined\nby comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

Federal\nIncome Taxes – The Fund complies with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies,\nincluding the requirement to distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax has\nbeen provided.

The\nFund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained\nassuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax position and has concluded that no liability for\nunrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years ended August\n31, 2024 to August 31, 2025, or expected to be taken in the Fund’s August 31, 2026, year-end tax returns. The Fund identified its\nmajor tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal and foreign jurisdictions where the Fund makes significant investments. The Fund recognizes interest\nand penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses, in the Statement of Operations. The Fund is not aware\nof any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in\nthe next twelve months.

Foreign\nTaxes – The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable),\ncapital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with\nthe applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests.

Foreign\nCurrency – The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities, other assets and liabilities\ndenominated in a foreign currency, and income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange\nrate at the London market close. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency rates\nestablished at the approximate time of the trade. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes\nin foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations\nare included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments shown in the Statement of Operations. For securities\nwhich are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, realized and unrealized gain or loss on such securities are recorded net\nof foreign withholding tax.

The\nFund reports net realized foreign exchange gains or losses that arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized\nbetween the trade and settlement dates on foreign currency transactions, and the differences between the amounts of dividends, interest\nand foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or

\n \n \n \n \n \n \n

NOTES\n TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

paid.\nNet unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in\nsecurities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Expenses\n– Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses, which are not readily\nidentifiable to a specific Fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of\nexpense and the relative sizes of the Fund in the Trust.

Indemnification\n– The Trust indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to\nthe Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and\nwarranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would\ninvolve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss due\nto these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

\n \n \n \n \n

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

For\nthe year ended August 31, 2026, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities amounted to $79,896,467 and $76,080,033,\nrespectively, for the Fund.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT\n AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

The\nbusiness activities of the Fund are overseen by the Board, which is responsible for the overall management of the Fund. The Adviser serves\nas the Fund’s investment advisor pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund (the “Advisory\nAgreement”).

Pursuant\nto the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser, under the oversight of the Board, directs the daily operations of the Fund and supervises the\nperformance of administrative and professional services provided by others. As compensation for its services and the related expenses\nborne by the Adviser, the Fund pays the Adviser a unitary advisory fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate\nof 0.58% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. During the year ended August 31, 2026, the Fund paid $2,151,202 in advisory fees.

Advisory\nfees are accrued daily and paid monthly. The advisory fee is a unitary fee, whereby the Adviser has agreed to pay substantially all expenses\nof the Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, sub-fund administration, legal, audit and other services.\nThe Adviser is not responsible for, and the Fund will bear the cost of the fees paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement,\ninterest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses\nincurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses,\naccrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, and distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan\nadopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

In accordance with\nthe Plan, the Fund is authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets each year for certain distribution-related\nactivities and shareholder services. No Rule 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Fund, and there are no plans to impose these fees. However,\nin the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, because the fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets, over time these fees\nwill increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than certain other types of sales charges.

Strategic\nServices LLC (“Strategic Services”), serves as administrator for the Fund pursuant to a Fund Administration agreement between\nthe Trust and Strategic Services. Fees for these services are paid by the Adviser under the terms of the Advisory Agreement.

Ultimus\nFund Solutions, LLC (“Ultimus”) serves as sub-administrator to the Fund pursuant to an ETF Sub-Administration Agreement between\nStrategic Services and Ultimus on behalf of the Trust. Strategic Services pays the sub-administration fees pursuant to the terms of this\nagreement.

CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Shares\nare not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the Fund at NAV only in large blocks known as “Creation Units.” Shares\nare created and redeemed by the Fund only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 25,000 shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted\nto purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Fund. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the\nclearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust\nCompany participant and, in each case, must have executed an Authorized Participant Agreement with the distributor.

The\ndifference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net investment income/(loss), accumulated net realized gain/(loss), and unrealized\nappreciation/(depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, tax adjustments for\nrealized gain/loss on in-kind redemptions and C-Corporation return of capital distributions.

Capital\nlosses incurred after October 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for\ntax purposes. The Fund incurred and elected to defer such capital losses of $15,332,551.

At\nAugust 31, 2026, the Fund had capital loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains as\nfollows:

Statement\nRegarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement

APPROVAL\nOF ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND BOARD CONSIDERATIONS

For\nthe Period Ended August 31, 2026 (Unaudited)

Pursuant\nto Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), at a meeting held on April 20, 2026, the Board of Trustees\n(the “Board”) of Strategic Trust (the “Trust”) considered the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory\nAgreement”) between Running Oak Capital, LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Running Oak Efficient Growth\nETF (the “Fund”).

Pursuant\nto Section 15 of the 1940 Act, the Advisory Agreement must be approved by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to\nthe Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” of any party thereto, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”),\ncast at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In preparation for such meeting, the Board requests and reviews a\nwide variety of information from the Adviser.

In\nreaching its decision, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered all factors it believed relevant, including but not limited\nto: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund’s shareholders by the Adviser; (ii) the investment performance\nof the Fund; (iii) the costs of the services provided and the profits realized by the Adviser from services provided to the Fund, including\nany fall-out benefits; (iv) comparative fee and expense data for the Fund in relation to other investment companies with similar investment\nobjectives and other accounts managed by the Adviser, if any; (v) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows\nand whether the advisory fees for the Fund reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund; and (vi) other financial benefits\nto the Adviser and its affiliates resulting from services rendered to the Fund. The Board’s review included written and oral information\nfurnished to the Board prior to and at the meeting held on April 20, 2026, and throughout the prior year. Among other things, the Adviser\nprovided responses to a detailed series of questions, which included information about the Adviser’s operations, service offerings,\npersonnel, compliance program and financial condition. The Board then discussed the written and oral information

\n \n \n \n \n \n \n

Running\n Oak Efficient Growth ETF

ADDITIONAL\n INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)

August\n 31, 2026

that\nit received before the meeting, including a memorandum from legal counsel to the Independent Trustees regarding the responsibilities of\ntrustees in approving advisory agreements, and the Adviser’s oral presentations and any other information that the Board received,\nand deliberated on the renewal of the Advisory Agreement in light of this information.

The\nIndependent Trustees were assisted throughout the contract review process by independent legal counsel. The Independent Trustees relied\nupon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the\nrenewal of the Advisory Agreement, and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to the Advisory\nAgreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each Trustee may\nhave placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to the Fund. Throughout the process, the Independent\nTrustees were afforded the opportunity to ask questions of, and request additional materials from, the Adviser. The Independent Trustees\nalso met in executive sessions with their independent counsel without representatives of management to further discuss the Advisory Agreement\nand the Independent Trustees’ responsibilities relating thereto. The information received and considered by the Board in connection\nwith the Board’s determination to approve the Advisory Agreement was both written and oral. The factors considered and the deliberations\nby the Board in connection with the approval of the Advisory Agreement are set forth below but are not exhaustive of all matters that\nwere discussed by the Board. The Board also considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy\nand the securities markets).

Nature,\nExtent and Quality of Services. In considering the continuance of the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the nature, extent\nand quality of services that the Adviser provided to the Fund, including the Adviser’s personnel and resources and the manner in\nwhich investment decisions are made and executed. The Board reviewed the services the Adviser provides in serving as investment adviser\nand the backgrounds of the personnel providing services to the Fund, including portfolio management. The Board also considered the experience\nof the personnel of the Adviser managing accounts using the Fund’s strategy. The Board also considered other services provided to\nthe Fund by the Adviser, such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio transactions, monitoring adherence to the Fund’s\ninvestment restrictions, and monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities regulations.\nThey also reviewed information provided regarding risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. In considering the nature, extent,\nand quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board considered the quality of the Adviser’s compliance program. The Board\nalso considered the Adviser’s financial position. The Board concluded that the Adviser had sufficient quality and depth of personnel,\nresources, investment methodologies and compliance policies and procedures to perform its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that\nthe nature, overall quality and extent of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund were satisfactory.

Performance.\nThe Board considered the Fund’s performance. Among other data, the Board reviewed performance information that the Adviser provided\nfor the Fund compared to its benchmark indexes and a “Peer Group” that is comprised of the funds the Adviser considered reasonably\ncomparable to the Fund for certain periods ended December 31, 2025. The Board also received information on the construction

\n \n \n \n \n \n \n

Running\n Oak Efficient Growth ETF

ADDITIONAL\n INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)

August\n 31, 2026

of\nthe Fund’s Peer Group. The Board reviewed the Fund’s total returns compared to the total returns of its Peer Group and Benchmark\nIndexes (S&P 500 Total Return Index and S&P 500 Equal Weight Index). The Board noted that the Fund only had a limited track record.\nThe Board further noted that the Fund underperformed the S&P 500 Total Return Index, S&P 500 Equal Weight Index, and Peer Group\nmedian for the one year period ended December 31, 2025. The Board also took into account the Adviser’s discussion of the Fund’s\nperformance, including with respect to current market conditions. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.

Cost\nof Services Provided, Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the advisory fee for the Fund and compared it to the\ntotal operating expenses of the Peer Group and to the management fee of other accounts managed by the Adviser. The Board noted that the\ncomparisons to the total expense ratios were the most relevant comparisons, given the fact that the advisory fee for the Fund is a “unified\nfee.” Among other information, the Board noted that the advisory fee for the Fund is in line with the average expense ratios for\nits Peer Group. The Board also took into account the different levels of services provided to other accounts the Adviser manages, as compared\nto the services provided to a 1940 Act registered investment company.

The\nBoard noted the importance of the fact that the proposed advisory fee is a “unified fee,” meaning that the shareholders of the\nFund pay no expenses other than the advisory fee paid to the Adviser, interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses\non securities sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities\nand other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, and distribution\nfees and expenses paid under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board also noted that the Adviser\nwas responsible for compensating the Trust’s other service providers and paying the Fund’s other expenses (except as noted above)\nout of its own fees and resources.

The\nBoard reviewed the profitability of the Adviser with respect to the Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser accrued a profit from Fund\noperations. The Board concluded that based on the services provided, the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund was not excessive and\nnot unreasonable to the Fund. The Board, however, considered collateral or “fall-out” benefits that the Adviser and its affiliates\nmay derive as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that any potential benefits to be derived by the Adviser\nincluded increased assets under management and reputational benefits, which were consistent with those generally derived by investment\nadvisers offering similar services to investment companies.

In\naddition, the Board considered whether economies of scale may be realized for the Fund. The Board noted that a unitary fee provides a\nlevel of certainty in expenses for the Fund and effectively acts as a cap on the fees and expenses (except as noted above) that are borne\nby the Fund. The Board also considered that the Adviser may share potential economies of scale from its advisory business in a variety\nof ways, including through investments in the business intended to enhance services available to the Fund. The Board concluded that no\nchanges to the advisory fee structure of the Fund were necessary. The Board determined to evaluate economies of scale on an ongoing basis\nas the Fund’s assets continued to grow.
