Dear Shareholder:

I am writing to inform you ofThe enclosed Proxy Statement contains information about the upcoming special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the shareholders of WOA All Asset I (the Dynamic International Opportunity Fund and Dynamic U.S. Opportunity Fund (the “Funds”“Fund”), each a series of Northern Lights Fund Trust II (the “Trust”).

The Meeting is scheduled to be held at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time on March 27, 2018,August 3, 2023, at the Winter Park offices of Gemini Fund Services,Pathstone Family Office, LLC, the Trust’s administrator,(the “Adviser” or “Pathstone”) at 80 Arkay Drive, Suite 110, Hauppauge, NY 11788.145 Lincoln Avenue, Winter Park, FL 32789. Please takereview the time to carefully read the enclosed Proxy Statement and cast your vote by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy ballot.proposal. After considering the proposal, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) has unanimously approved the proposal. The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR the proposal.

As described in the attached Notice and Proxy Statement, AFAM Capital, Inc. (“AFAM”), and specifically the Innealta Capital division of AFAM (the “Innealta Division”),Pathstone serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. As the Fund’s investment adviser, to the Funds andAdviser is responsible for the Fund’s overall investment strategy and its implementation.

On May 15, 2023, Kelso & Company (“Kelso”), through various investment vehicles it controls, acquired a minority interest in Pathstone Holdings, LLC, the parent company of the Adviser (the “Transaction”). As a result of the Transaction, Kelso indirectly owns approximately 38% of Pathstone while existing investors Pathstone management, collectively, and Lovell Minnick Partners now own directly or indirectly approximately 24% and 38%, respectively, of the Adviser. The Transaction is not expected to result in any material change in the day-to-day management of the Funds’ assets. Dr. Vito Sciaraffia serves asFund or the Innealta Division’s Chief Investment Officer and portfolio manager for the Funds. AFAM is directly wholly-owned and controlled by AF Holdings, Inc. (“AFHI”). AtAdviser.

As a meeting held on January 23-24, 2018, AFAM advised the Board of Trustees (the “Board”)result of the Trust that it had entered into an agreement pursuant to whichTransaction, the Innealta Division would become its own legal entity and an investment adviser that will soon be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Innealta Capital, LLC (“Innealta”) (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization, which would occur after shareholder approval of the newFund’s investment advisory agreement would resultwith the Adviser (the “Old Advisory Agreement”) was deemed to have been automatically terminated. This is because the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), which regulates investment companies such as the Fund, requires investment advisory agreements to terminate automatically in the following ownership structure for Innealta: Dr. Vito Sciaraffia will indirectly own 88.50%event of Innealta through Riomaggiore Investments, LLC as its sole member, and Dr. Gonzalo Maturana, will indirectly own 11.50% of Innealta through Alsacia Investments, LLC, as its sole member. Because each employee of Innealta has been offered an opportunity to acquire ownership in Innealta throughout 2018, it is expected that other employees of Innealta will purchase equity interest in Innealta, diluting Dr. Sciaraffia’s interest in Innealta, although it is anticipated that Dr. Sciaraffia’s interest in Innealta will remain above 60% at least through the end of 2018. Both the AFAM and Innealta believe that the Funds’ shareholders will benefit from the Reorganization for the following reasons: (i) the reorganizationassignment of the Innealta Division as a separate legal entity will result in a single, unified management body overseeing Innealta rather than management from both AFAM andagreement. Since May 15, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Pathstone has continued to manage the Innealta Division which could potentially improve employee retention and improve marketing efforts and focus and such benefits could leadFund pursuant to increased asset retention and Fund inflows; (ii) as assets under management within each Fund potentially grow, shareholders may realize lower investment management costs; and most importantly, (iii) the Reorganization should result in more efficient portfolio management as the Funds’ research and investment team will be able to focus more resources on the Funds rather than other products advised by AFAM and should be better positioned to meet, and optimally exceed, the stated investment objectives of each Fund.

The Reorganization will result in an assignment and termination of the existing advisory agreement, dated October 28, 2011 and most recently renewed at a meeting held on October 24-25, 2017, between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and AFAM (the “Existing Advisory Agreement”). In anticipation of the Reorganization and these related events, the Board approved a newinterim advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds,Fund, and Innealtathe Adviser (the “Interim Advisory Agreement”) that meets the requirements of Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act, including that it will be in effect for no longer than 150 days following the Closing Date. At a meeting held on April 18, 2023, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) unanimously approved the Interim Advisory Agreement and a new investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Trust with respect to the Fund (the “New Advisory Agreement”) at. The New Advisory Agreement must also be approved by shareholders. Therefore, in order to help ensure that the January 23-24, 2018 meeting. Approval ofFund’s investment program continues uninterrupted, we are asking you to approve the New Advisory Agreement will not raiseto allow the fees paid byAdviser to continue to serve as the Funds orFund’s investment adviser following expiration of the Funds’ shareholders. The NewInterim Advisory Agreement is identical to the Existing Advisory Agreement, except for Innealta replacing AFAM as a party toAgreement.

Under the New Advisory Agreement, the date of execution, effectivenessAdviser will provide investment advisory services to the Fund on the same terms and term.conditions and advisory fee rate to those currently in effect.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q.        What is happening?

A. As described in the attached Notice and Proxy Statement, AFAM Capital, Inc. (“AFAM”), and specifically the Innealta Capital division of AFAM (the “Innealta Division”), serves as the investment adviser to the Funds and is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds’ assets. Dr. Vito Sciaraffia serves as the Innealta Division’s Chief Investment Officer and portfolio manager for the Funds. AFAM is directly wholly-owned and controlled by the AF Holdings, Inc. (“AFHI”). At a meeting held on January 23-24, 2018, AFAM advised the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Trust that it had entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Innealta Division would become its own legal entity and an investment adviser that will soon be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Innealta Capital, LLC (“Innealta”) (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization, which would occur after shareholder approval of the new investment advisory agreement, would result in the following ownership structure for Innealta: Dr. Vito Sciaraffia will indirectly own 88.50% of Innealta through Riomaggiore Investments, LLC as its sole member, and Dr. Gonzalo Maturana, will indirectly own 11.50% of Innealta through Alsacia Investments, LLC, as its sole member. Because each employee of Innealta has been offered an opportunity to acquire ownership in Innealta throughout 2018, it is expected that over time, employees of Innealta will purchase equity interest in Innealta, diluting Dr. Sciaraffia’s interest in Innealta, although it is anticipated that Dr. Sciaraffia’s interest in Innealta will remain above 60% at least through the end of 2018. In consideration for the Reorganization, AFAM and Innealta have entered into a four year earn-out agreement based upon Innealta’s revenues. As further discussed in the Proxy Statement, Innealta has agreed that, for a minimum of two years subsequent to the consummation of the Reorganization, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that there is not imposed an “unfair burden,” as defined in Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act, on the Funds. Furthermore, during the three-year period after the closing of the Reorganization, Innealta will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that at least 75% of the Board will be comprised of persons who are not “interested persons” of either Innealta or AFAM. Both AFAM and Innealta believe that the Funds’ shareholders will benefit from the Reorganization for the following reasons: (i) the reorganization of the Innealta Division as a separate legal entity will result in a single, unified management body overseeing Innealta rather than management from both AFAM and the Innealta Division which could potentially improve employee retention and improve marketing efforts and focus and such benefits could lead to increased asset retention and Fund inflows; (ii) as assets under management within each Fund potentially grow, shareholders may realize lower investment management costs; and most importantly, (iii) the Reorganization should result in more efficient portfolio management as the Funds’ research and investment team will be able to focus more resources on the Funds rather than other products advised by AFAM and should be better positioned to meet and optimally exceed the stated investment objectives of each Fund.

The Reorganization will result in an assignment and termination of the existing advisory agreement, dated October 28, 2011 and most recently renewed at a meeting held on October 24-25, 2017, between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and AFAM (the “Existing Advisory Agreement”). In anticipation of the Reorganization and these related events, the Board approved a new advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and Innealta (the “New Advisory Agreement”) at the January 23-24, 2018 meeting. Approval of the New Advisory Agreement will not raise the fees paid by the Funds or the Funds’ shareholders. The New Advisory Agreement is identical to the Existing Advisory Agreement, except for Innealta replacing AFAM as a party to the New Advisory Agreement, the date of execution, effectiveness and term. The effective date of the New Advisory Agreement will be the date shareholders approve the New Advisory Agreement, anticipated to be March 27, 2018, although there is no guarantee that shareholders will approve the proposed New Advisory Agreement. Additionally, the fee waiver/expense reimbursement arrangement in place between AFAM and the Funds will remain unchanged and will extend to March 31, 2019.

The Funds’ investment objective and investment strategies have not changed as a result of the Reorganization, and the investment advisory personnel of AFAM who provide services to the Funds are expected to continue to do so, if approved by shareholders, under the New Advisory Agreement.

The composition ofHas the Board of Trustees of the Trust will not be changed as a direct result ofapproved the New Advisory Agreement, and the Board of Trustees will continue to make decisions regarding the independent accountants, custodian, administrator, distributor and transfer agent of the Funds. No changes are being proposed to these existing service providers at this time.Proposal?

In connection with the Transaction, the existing investors received aggregate closing cash payments of approximately $489,161,000 after taking into account expenses and adjustments. The Transaction is not expected to result in any material change in the day-to-day management of the Fund or the Adviser.

To allow the Adviser to continue serving as the investment adviser to the Fund without any interruption following termination of the Old Advisory Agreement, the Board approved an interim investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Trust on behalf of the Fund (the “Interim Advisory Agreement”) that meets the requirements of Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act, including that the duration of the Interim Advisory Agreement will be no greater than 150 days. The Interim Advisory Agreement took effect following the termination of the Old Advisory Agreement on the Closing Date and will automatically terminate upon the approval of shareholders of the Fund of the New Advisory Agreement.

Under Section 15 of the 1940 Act, the Adviser can continue to serve as the investment adviser to the Fund under the New Advisory Agreement only if the agreement is approved by the Independent Trustees and shareholders of the Fund.

The New Advisory Agreement is identical to the Funds’ existing investment advisory agreement with AFAM, except for Innealta replacing AFAM as a party to the New Advisory Agreement, the date of execution, effectiveness and term. Further, the duties of AFAM are carried out by the Innealta Division portfolio management team and those duties will not change as the exact same portfolio management team will stay in place under the New Advisory Agreement.

AFAM serves as theFund’s investment adviser, to the Funds andAdviser is responsible for the day-to-day managementFund’s overall investment strategy and its implementation.

On May 15, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Kelso & Company (“Kelso”), through various investment vehicles it controls, acquired a minority interest in Pathstone Holdings, LLC, the parent company of the Funds’ assets. AFAM is directly wholly-owned and controlled by AF Holdings, Inc. (“AFHI”Adviser (the “Transaction”). AtAs a meeting held on January 23-24, 2018, AFAM advised the Board of Trustees (the “Board”)result of the Trust that it had entered into an agreement pursuant to whichTransaction, Kelso indirectly owns approximately 38% of Pathstone while existing investors Pathstone management, collectively, and Lovell Minnick Partners now own directly or indirectly approximately 24% and 38%, respectively, of the Innealta Division would become its own legal entity and an investment adviser that will soon be registeredAdviser. In connection with the U.S. SecuritiesTransaction, the existing investors received aggregate closing cash payments of approximately $489,161,000 after taking into account expenses and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Innealta (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization, which would occur after shareholder approval of the new investment advisory agreement, would result in the following ownership structure for Innealta: Dr. Vito Sciaraffia will indirectly own 88.50% of Innealta through Riomaggiore Investments, LLC as its sole member, and Dr. Gonzalo Maturana will indirectly own 11.50% of Innealta through Alsacia Investments, LLC as its sole member. Because each employee of Innealta has been offered an opportunity to acquire ownership in Innealta throughout 2018, it is expected that other employees of Innealta will purchase equity interest in Innealta diluting, Dr. Sciaraffia’s interest in Innealta, although it is anticipated that Dr. Sciaraffia’s interest in Innealta will remain above 60% at least through the end of 2018. In consideration for the Reorganization, AFAM and Innealta have entered into a four year earn-out agreement based upon Innealta’s revenues. As further discussed below, Innealta has agreed that, for a minimum of two years subsequent to the consummation of the Reorganization, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that there is not imposed an “unfair burden,” as defined in Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act, on the Funds. Furthermore, during the three-year period after the closing of the Reorganization, Innealta will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that at least 75% of the Board will be comprised of persons who are not “interested persons” of either Innealta or AFAM. Both AFAM and Innealta believe that the Funds’ shareholders will benefit from the Reorganization for the following reasons: (i) the reorganization of the Innealta Division as a separate legal entity will result in a single, unified management body overseeing Innealta rather than management from both AFAM and the Innealta Division which could potentially improve employee retention and improve marketing efforts and focus and such benefits could lead to increased asset retention and Fund inflows; (ii) as assets under management within each Fund potentially grow, shareholders may realize lower investment management costs; and most importantly, (iii) the Reorganization should result in more efficient portfolio management as the Funds’ research and investment team will be able to focus more resources on the Funds rather than other products advised by AFAM and should be better positioned to meet and optimally exceed the stated investment objectives of each Fund.adjustments.

The Reorganization willTransaction did result in an assignment and terminationindirect change of control of the existing advisory agreement, dated October 28, 2011, and most recently renewed at a meeting held on October 24-25, 2017, between the Trust, on behalfAdviser (the “Change of the Funds, and AFAM (the “Existing Advisory Agreement”Control”). The Existing Advisory Agreement was last approved that may be deemed an “assignment” as defined by the sole shareholder of each Fund on December 30, 2011. In anticipation of the Reorganization and these related

events, and in order to provide for the uninterrupted management of the Funds, the Board, at their meeting on January 23-24, 2018, (i) approved the New Advisory Agreement1940 Act. Consistent with Innealta, subject to shareholder approval, and (ii) voted to recommend that shareholders approve the New Advisory Agreement for the Funds. The New Advisory Agreement is identical to the Existing Advisory Agreement, except for Innealta replacing AFAM as a party to the New Advisory Agreement, the date of execution, effectiveness and term. The effective date of the New Advisory Agreement will be the date shareholders approve the New Advisory Agreement, anticipated to be March 27, 2018, although there is no guarantee that shareholders will approve the proposed New Advisory Agreement. Additionally, the fee waiver/expense reimbursement arrangement in place between AFAM and the Funds will remain unchanged and will extend to March 31, 2019.

Becauseapplicable requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires thatthe investment advisory agreements be approved by a vote of a majorityagreement between the Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of the outstanding sharesFund, prior to the Closing Date contained a provision that the agreement would automatically terminate in the event of a fund,its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act). The Change of Control was deemed an assignment of the Old Advisory Agreement, triggering its automatic termination.

To allow the Adviser to continue serving as the investment adviser to the Fund without any interruption following termination of the Old Advisory Agreement, the Board approved the Interim Advisory Agreement which meets the requirements of Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act. The Interim Advisory Agreement took effect upon the termination of the Old Advisory Agreement on the Closing Date and will automatically terminate upon the approval of shareholders of the Fund of the New Advisory Agreement. Under the Interim Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is permitted to provide investment advisory services to the Fund under the Interim Advisory Agreement for up to 150 days following the Closing Date, and may do so without having received the prior approval of shareholders of the Fund. The terms and conditions of the Interim Advisory Agreement are identical to the terms of the Old Advisory Agreement, except for dates of execution and effectiveness, the term and certain escrow provisions. Fees payable under the Interim Advisory Agreement are no greater than would have been paid under the Old Advisory Agreement. The Interim Advisory Agreement may be terminated prior to the completion of its 150 day term, including in the event that shareholders of the Fund approve the New Advisory Agreement, which would become effective and replace the Interim Advisory Agreement.

To continue to provide for continuity in the operation of the Fund, you are being asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement between the proposedAdviser and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund (the “New Advisory Agreement”).

Under the New Advisory Agreement, the Adviser will provide investment advisory services to the Fund on the same terms and for the same fees as the Old Advisory Agreement and, except for the escrow provisions, the Interim Advisory Agreement.

The Transaction is not expected to result in any material change in the day-to-day management of the Fund or the Adviser and the portfolio managers and key investment personnel who manage the Fund are expected to continue to do so after the Transaction. Additionally, there will be no changes to the Fund’s investment strategies or the investment processes used by the portfolio managers as a result of the Transaction. The composition of the Board will not be changed as a result of the New Advisory Agreement, and the Board will continue to make decisions regarding the independent accountants, custodian, administrator, distributor and transfer agent of the Fund. No changes are being proposed to these existing service providers at this time.

If the New Advisory Agreement is not approved by shareholders, the Board will consider what additional actions to take, which could include continuing to solicit approval of a new investment advisory agreement.

Please see the section below entitled “Evaluation by the Board of Trustees” for a detailed discussion of the material factors and the conclusions with respect thereto that form the basis for the recommendation of the Board that the shareholders approve the New Advisory Agreement.

The Independent Trustees were advised by

counsel that is experienced in 1940 Act matters and that is independent of fund management andmanagement. The Independent Trustees met with such counsel separately from fund management.

In considering the approval of the New Advisory AgreementAgreements and reaching theirits conclusions, the TrusteesBoard reviewed and analyzed various factors that theyit determined were relevant, including the factors enumerated below. In their deliberations,The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and its own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreements and the weight to be given to each such factor.

Moreover, each Trustee may have attributedafforded different weightsweight to the various factors.factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreements. The following summarizes the Trustees’Board’s review process and the information on which theirits conclusions were based:

Nature, Extent and Quality ofQuality of the Services. The Board thenconsidered the Adviser’s favorable attributes, including its investment philosophy, investment management capabilities, experienced leadership and reputation. The Board also considered: the capabilities, resources, and personnel of the Adviser, in order to determine whether the Adviser is capable of continuing to provide at least an equivalent level of investment management services currently provided to the Fund. The Board also reviewed materialsinformation provided by InnealtaPathstone related to its business, legal and regulatory affairs. This review considered the approval ofresources available to the Adviser to provide the services specified under the New Advisory Agreement in connection withAgreement.

Based on its review of materials prepared for the Reorganization with respect to each ofMeeting, the Funds, including Innealta’s Form ADVBoard considered the experience and related schedules, a description of the manner in which investment decisions will be made and executed, a reviewqualifications of the personnel performing services for each of the Funds, includingAdviser who will be responsible for continuing to provide services to the team of individuals that will primarily monitor and execute the investment process. The Board discussed the extent of Innealta’s research capabilities, the quality of Innealta’s compliance infrastructure and the experience of its fund management personnel.Fund. The Board noted that a principal owner of Innealta was the current portfolio manager for eachnone of the Funds, that he would remainportfolio managers and other key investment personnel managing the portfolio manager of eachFund are expected to change as a result of the Funds following the Reorganization,Transaction, and that the investment process and day-to-day operations of each of the Funds would remain unchanged. Additionally, the Board received satisfactory responses from the representatives of Innealta with respectFund were not expected to a series of important questions, including: whether Innealta was involved in any lawsuits or pending regulatory actions; whether thechange.

management of other accounts would conflict with its management of the Funds; whether there were procedures in place to adequately allocate trades among its respective clients; and whether Innealta’s CCO would routinely review the portfolio managers’ performance of their duties to ensure compliance under Innealta’s compliance program. The Board also reviewed the information provided on the practices for monitoring compliance with each of the Funds’ investment limitations. The Board then reviewed the capitalization of Innealta based on financial information provided by and representations made by Innealta and its principals and concluded that Innealta was sufficiently well-capitalized, or Innealta’s owners had the ability to make additional contributions in order to meet its obligations to each of the Funds. The Board also discussed details of Innealta’s compliance program with the CCO of the Trust. The Board also noted that the change in portfolio management for the Funds in 2016 helped to improve performance and enhanced risk management and again noted that such portfolio management would continue with Innealta following the Reorganization. The Board concluded that Innealta had sufficientthe Adviser will be capable of continuing to provide investment advisory services at least equivalent to the same high quality and depth of personnel, resources,as the investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essentialadvisory services currently provided to performing its duties under the New Advisory Agreement andFund.

Performance. The Board considered that the nature, overall quality and extentall of the management servicesportfolio managers and other key investment personnel currently managing the Fund are expected to be provided by Innealtacontinue to each of the Funds were satisfactory.

Performance.  As to performance, the Board considered each of the Funds’ past performance as well as other factors relating to Innealta and the portfolio manager’s track record.  The Board noted that, although Innealta was not the Funds’ current adviser,do so following the Reorganization, Innealta would be comprised of the same personnel at AFAM who are currently responsible for managing the Funds.Transaction. The Board then discussed the reports prepared by MorningstarBroadridge Report and reviewed the performance of each of the FundsFund as compared to its peer group, Morningstar category and benchmark for the one year, three year,three-year, five year and since inception periods ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2023. The Board noted that Dynamic International Opportunity Fund underperformed the peer group and its benchmark (the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (USD)) but outperformed its Morningstar category (the World Allocation category) for the one year period, outperformed its peer group, Morningstar category and benchmark for the three year period and underperformed the peer group, Morningstar category and benchmark for the five year period and since Dynamic International Opportunity Fund’s inception. The Board noted that the benchmark as well as many of Dynamic International Opportunity Fund’s peers and the Morningstar category were generally fully invested or represented full investment in non-U.S. equities while Dynamic International Opportunity Fund had periods of significant allocations to fixed income securities which hurt the relative performance when global bond markets were underperforming global stock markets. In addition, the Board noted Dynamic International Opportunity Fund’s tactical approach and lower risk profile. The Board noted that although Dynamic International Opportunity Fund had experienced improved performance over the last year, it continued to lag its benchmark and peer group for the one year period. Regarding Dynamic U.S. Opportunity Fund, the Board noted that Dynamic U.S. Opportunity Fund outperformed its peer group and Morningstar category (the Tactical Allocation category) for the one year and three year periods but underperformed its Morningstar category and peer group for thethree-year, five year and since inception periods, andthe Fund had underperformed its peer group median, Morningstar category median and benchmark (the S&P 500 Total Return Index) during all periods.although in each case the Fund had positive performance. The Board noted eachthat for the one-year period the Fund had outperformed its peer group median, slightly outperformed its Morningstar category median but underperformed its benchmark. The Board then discussed the underperformance of the Fund’s improved performance sinceFund versus its benchmark, the change in portfolio management at AFAM in 2016 as wellBlended 60/40 Index which is an unmanaged, blended index composed of the following weights: 60% MSCI All Country World Index Net (USD) and 40% Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, for all periods noting that effective March 1, 2019, the Fund had changed its primary benchmark to the Blended 60/40 Index which replaced the MSCI All Country World Index as the portfolio managers’ excellent job of managing riskFund’s primary broad-based index. While the Fund underperformed its peer group median, Morningstar category median and that the portfolio management team currently at AFAM would continue to manage each of the Funds at Innealta following the Reorganization. After further discussion,benchmark for longer periods ended March 31, 2023, the Board concluded that each of the Funds’ pastrecent performance was acceptable and generallythat the current strategy was expected to benefit the Fund and its shareholders in line with its risk level.the long-term.

Fees and Expenses. AsThe Board considered that the New Advisory Agreement is the same as the Old Advisory Agreement and Interim Advisory Agreement, except for dates of execution and effectiveness and the term and, in the case of the Interim Advisory Agreement, certain escrow provisions, and that the Fund’s contractual fee rate will be identical for the Fund. The Board also noted that the Adviser has contractually agreed to maintain the current operating expense limit pursuant to a new operating expense limitation agreement (with identical terms to the costscurrent interim operating expense limitation agreement but for term), which will remain in effect until June 30, 2025, whereby it will waive a portion of its advisory fees or reimburse expenses so that the services to be provided by Innealta,Fund does not exceed its operating expense limitation. The Board noted, however, that the Fund is currently operating below the 1.50% expense limit. The Board also reviewed and discussed each of the Funds’ advisory fee and total operating expenses of the Fund as

compared to its peer group and its Morningstar category as presented in the Morningstar Reports. The Board reviewed the contractual arrangements for each of the Funds, noting that Innealta proposed to charge each an advisory fee at an annual rate of 1.00% based on the average net assets of the respective Fund under the New Advisory Agreement, which is the same fee as is currently charged by AFAM under the Existing Advisory Agreement.Broadridge Report. The Board noted that the 1.00% advisory fee for each ofis the Funds was abovesame as the peer group median and slightly above the Morningstar category averages. The Board also reviewedmedian. In light of these comparisons, the net expenses for each of the Funds as compared to its peer group and Morningstar category noting that higher acquired fund fees and expenses and Fund assets under management well below the peer group and Morningstar category medians likely contributed to higher net expenses for each of the Funds. The Board noted that each of the Funds was likely not benefiting from economies of scale like some of its peers. The Board then reviewed the New Expense Limitation Agreement noting that Innealta

had agreed to waive or limit its advisory fee and/or reimburse expenses at least until March 31, 2019, in order to limit net annual operating expenses, exclusive of certain fees, so as not to exceed 1.49% and 1.24% of each Fund’s average net assets for, Class N and Class I Shares, respectively, and found such arrangements to be beneficial to shareholders. The Board noted that the New Expense Limitation Agreement provided for the same expense limitations currently in place with AFAM although the New Expense Limitation Agreement would extend each Fund’s current expense limitation by a year. The Board concluded that, based on Innealta’sthe Adviser’s experience, expertise and services to be provided to each of the Funds,Fund, the advisory fee charged by Innealta for each of the FundsAdviser was not unreasonable and while higher than its peer group or Morningstar category averages, each was generally in line with somethat the extension of the funds in its peer group and Morningstar category that were of similar size.

Fund’s current expense limitation under the new operating expense limitation agreement would be beneficial to shareholders.

Profitability.Profitability. The Board also considered the level of profits that could be expected to accrue to Innealtathe Adviser with respect to each of the FundsFund based on profitability reports and profitability analyses reviewedprovided by the Adviser. The Board andalso reviewed the selected financial information of Innealtathe Adviser as provided by Innealta.the Adviser. After review and discussion, the Board concluded that the anticipated profit from Innealta’sthe Adviser’s relationship with eachthe Fund was not excessive relative to the experience of the Funds was not excessive.

Adviser and the nature and quality of the services performed by the Adviser. The Board considered the Adviser’s representation that it anticipates profitability for the Adviser under the New Advisory Agreement to be similar to profitability for the Adviser during recent periods. The Board noted that it would have the opportunity to give further consideration to the Adviser’s profitability with respect to the Fund at the end of the initial two-year term of the New Advisory Agreement.

Economies of of Scale. As to the extent to which each of the FundsFund would realize economies of scale as it grew,grows, and whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of investors, the Board discussed the current size of each of the Funds, Innealta’sFund and the Adviser’s expectations for growth, of each of the Funds, and concluded that any material economies of scale would likely not be achieved in the near term.

Other Considerations. In approving the Advisory Agreements, the Board considered that the Adviser will be making a commitment to the retention and recruitment of high quality personnel, and has undertaken to maintain the same level of financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage the Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that has previously been provided to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Adviser has undertaken to make a commitment to the management and success of the Fund, and to employ its resources in an effort to both maintain and grow the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund will continue to receive the benefit of the strong compliance culture and financial resources of Pathstone following the Transaction.

ConclusionConclusions. HavingThe Board relied upon the advice of counsel, and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreements and the weight to be given to each such factor. Accordingly, having requested and received such information from Innealtathe Adviser as the BoardTrustees believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of each of the New Advisory Agreement,Agreements, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees voting separately, determined that (a) the terms of the New Advisory AgreementAgreements are reasonable with respect to each of the Funds;not unreasonable; (b) the investment advisory fee payable for each of the Funds pursuant to the New Advisory AgreementAgreements is reasonable;not unreasonable; and (c) the New Advisory Agreement isAgreements are each in the best interests of the FundsFund and its shareholders.

Accordingly, Moreover, the Board by separate vote ofnoted that each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreements.
