| NOTICE OF MEETING ADJOURNMENT |
August 22, 2019
Dear Valued Shareholder,
We apologize for contacting you once again. Today, we adjourned the scheduled special meeting of shareholders of your Fund(s) to allow shareholders who have yet to cast their proxy vote with additional time to do so.Our records indicate that we have yet to receive your important proxy voting instructions.
Please help us to avoid the additional expense of additional communications by taking just a moment to cast your proxy vote now. We’ve set up several voting methods. The adjourned special meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 17, 2019.
Thank you in advance for your assistance with this important matter.
Sincerely,
Joanna Gallegos
President, J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Fund Trust
How do I vote?There are three convenient methods for casting your important proxy vote:
| 1. | Vote by touch-tone phone: You may cast your vote by telephone using an automated system by calling thetoll-free number found on the enclosed proxy card(s). |
| 2. | Vote online: You may cast your vote by visiting the web address located on the enclosed proxy card(s) and following the instructions on the website. |
| 3. | Vote by mail: You may cast your vote by signing, dating and mailing the enclosed proxy card(s) in thepostage-prepaid return envelope provided. |
We would be very grateful if you would use any one of the three voting methods listed aboveto ensure that your vote is recorded by, or before, September 17, 2019.
The purpose of the Meeting is to ask shareholders of the Funds to vote to approve a new management agreement with J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc., the Funds’ investment adviser (“JPMIM”), which will implement a unitary fee structure. If approved,this proposal will NOT result in an increase in a Fund’s current net expense ratio or change the level of services providedby JPMIM. This change is intended to benefit shareholders by eliminating the downside risk that Fund fees might increase during periods when Fund expenses increase or when Fund assets decline (making such expenses a larger percentage of Fund assets), particularly if current expense caps were changed or allowed to expire in the future. The Board of Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Fund Trust recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal.
Details of the special meeting are described in the proxy statement that has been sent to all shareholders.If you have any proxy related questions, please call1-800-848-3374 for assistance. Representatives are available Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern Time.
