Post-Effective Amendments 182, 183, 184 and 185 were each filed for the purpose of registering the Funds as new series of the Trust. The Trust is filing this application for withdrawal because the Trust has determined not to continue with the establishments of the Funds as series of the Trust. No securities were sold in connection with Post-Effective Amendments 182, 183, 184 and 185. Based on the foregoing, the Trust believes that the withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendments 182, 183, 184 and 185 is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors.
Sincerely,
Innovator ETFs Trust
