Dear Fellow Shareholder,
As a shareholder in one or more of the above Cambria Funds (“Funds”), you have received proxy communications via e-mail or a proxy statement and proxy card(s) in the mail in connection with the Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Cambria ETF Trust that is now scheduled for October 19th, 2023.
I am pleased to let you know that initially there were 12 ETFs that held shareholder meetings, with seven passing all meeting agenda items. We are now focused on the remaining five ETFs listed above. You are a shareholder in one or more of these five remaining ETFs and, as of the date of this letter, we have not received your vote(s). As it has been a few months since you’ve received the proxy statement, I feel it’s important to highlight the meeting agenda and how the proposals will affect your investments.
In addition to the Election of Trustee (Proposal 1), shareholders are being asked to consider a proposal to approve Toroso Investments, LLC to provide sub-advisory services (Proposal 2) such as executing trades. This will allow us to focus on managing the Funds’ investment strategies. Lastly, shareholders are being asked to approve a proposal to permit hiring sub-advisors in a cost-effective and timely manner (Proposal 3).
How will the new subadvisory agreements affect my investment?
We believe the subadvisory proposal will be a positive for the Funds and all shareholders. It is important for you to know:
Ø | There will be NO increase in your management fees and expenses. |
Ø | You will have the same Portfolio Manager. |
Ø | Your investment will continue with identical investment objectives and investment strategies. |
Please take the time to support your fellow shareholders who have voted by signing, dating, and returning your proxy card(s) in the pre-paid envelope, or by following the instructions below to vote by internet or phone.

Dear Fellow Shareholder,
The Special Meeting of Shareholders of the above Cambria Funds (the “Funds”) is scheduled to be held on October 19, 2023.
Historically, ETF’s that are primarily owned by retail investors have a slower ascent to reaching the vote requirement threshold, making it critical for shareholders with smaller positions to vote. I am pleased to report that your fellow shareholders have shown strong support for the approval of Toroso Investments, LLC to provide sub-advisory services and a proposal to permit hiring sub-advisors in a cost effective and timely manner.
Please join your fellow shareholders by taking a few minutes to sign, date and mail the enclosed proxy card in the prepaid envelope or follow the instructions below to vote by telephone or internet.
