Notes to Financial Statements Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 38 (Unaudited) 1. Organization: Victory Portfolios II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and the Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 25 funds, 23 of which are Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”), and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value. The accompanying financial statements are those of the following two Funds (collectively, the “Funds” and individually, a “Fund”). Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act. Funds (Legal Name) Funds (Short Name) Investment Share Classes Offered Victory US 500 Enhance Volatility Wtd Index Fund US 500 Enhance Volatility Wtd Index Fund A, C, and I Victory Market Neutral Income Fund Market Neutral Income Fund A, C, I, and Member Class Each class of shares of a Fund has substantially identical rights and privileges except with respect to sales charges, fees paid under distribution plans, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares, voting rights on matters solely affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares. Victory Capital Management Inc. (“VCM” or the “Adviser”) is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote. 2. Significant Accounting Policies: The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946. Investment Valuation: The Funds record investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds' investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: • Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities • Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, or credit spreads, applicable to those securities, etc.) • Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments. The Adviser, appointed as the valuation designee by the Trust's Board of Trustees' (the “Board”), has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the “Committee”), and subject to Board oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Funds' valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board. Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including ETFs, and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in open-end investment companies, other than ETFs, are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”). These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or an exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund’s NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 39 (Unaudited) In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time the Funds’ NAV is calculated. The Funds use a systematic valuation model, provided daily by an independent third party to fair value their international equity securities. These valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. A summary of the valuations as of December 31, 2022, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments: l Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund Common Stocks............................ $47,632,626 $— $— $47,632,626 Investment Companies ....................... 207,096 — — 207,096 Collateral for Securities Loaned ................ 81,296 — — 81,296 Total .................................... $47,921,018 $— $— $47,921,018 Other Financial Investments* Assets: Futures Contracts........................... 808 — — 808 Total .................................... $808 $— $— $808 Market Neutral Income Fund Common Stocks............................ 1,617,079,140 1,336,094,982 930,876 2,954,104,998 Collateral for Securities Loaned ................ 88,079,696 — — 88,079,696 Total .................................... $1,705,158,836 $1,336,094,982 $930,876 $3,042,184,694 Other Financial Investments* Assets: Futures Contracts........................... 100,460,318 — — 100,460,318 Liabilities: Futures Contracts........................... (87,829,535) — — (87,829,535) Total .................................... $12,630,783 $— $— $12,630,783 * Futures Contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment. As of December 31, 2022, there were no transfers into/out of Level 3. Investment Companies: Open-End Funds: The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds. Derivative Instruments: Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts: The Funds may enter into foreign exchange currency contracts to convert U.S. dollars to and from various foreign currencies. A foreign exchange currency contract is an obligation by a Fund to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price (in U.S. dollars) set at the time of the contract. The Funds do not engage in “cross-currency” foreign exchange contracts (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell one foreign currency in exchange for another foreign currency). The Funds’ foreign exchange currency contracts might be considered spot contracts (typically a contract of one week or less) or forward contracts (typically a contract term over one week). A spot contract is entered into for purposes of hedging against foreign currency fluctuations relating to a specific portfolio transaction, such as the delay between a security transaction trade date and settlement date. Forward contracts are entered into for purposes of hedging portfolio holdings or concentrations of such holdings. The Funds enter into foreign exchange currency contracts solely for spot or forward hedging purposes, and not for speculative purposes (i.e., the Funds do not enter into such contracts solely for the purpose of earning foreign currency gains). Each foreign exchange currency contract is adjusted daily by the prevailing spot or forward rate of the underlying currency, and any appreciation or depreciation is recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, at which time the Funds record realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of a contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Funds could be exposed to risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of a foreign exchange currency contract or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. In addition, the use of foreign exchange currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. As of December 31, 2022, the Funds had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 40 (Unaudited) Futures Contracts: The Funds may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, and purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made. The Funds may enter into futures contracts in an effort to hedge against market risks. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Funds the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Funds to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A good faith margin deposit, known as initial margin, of cash or government securities with a broker or custodian is required to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds based on the change in the market value of the position and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the gain or loss is realized. The Funds may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Funds had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of the Funds' futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting the Funds' ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions. The collateral held by the Funds is reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for futures contracts. Management has determined that no offsetting requirements exist as a result of their conclusion that the Funds are not subject to master netting agreements for futures contracts. During the six months December 31, 2022, the Funds entered into futures contracts primarily for the strategy of hedging or other purposes, including but not limited to, providing liquidity and equitizing cash. Summary of Derivative Instruments: The following table summarizes the fair values of derivative instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of December 31, 2022: Assets Liabilities Variation Margin Receivable on Open Futures Contracts* Variation Margin Payable on Open Futures Contracts* Equity Risk Exposure: 100,460,318 (87,828,727) US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund .................................................. $ – $ (808) Market Neutral Income Fund ............................................................. 100,460,318 87,829,535 * Includes cumulative appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts as reported on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Only current day’s variation margin for futures contracts is reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The following table presents the effect of derivative instruments on the Statements of Operations, categorized by risk exposure, for the period ended December 31, 2022: Net Realized Gains (Losses) on Derivatives Recognized as a Result from Operations Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/ Depreciation on Derivatives Recognized as a Result of Operations Net Realized Gains (Losses) from Futures Contracts Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/ Depreciation on Futures Contracts Equity Risk Exposure: (43,547,727) (178,062,992) US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund .............................................. $ (13,976) $ (7,384) Market Neutral Income Fund ......................................................... (43,533,751) (178,055,608) All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on each respective Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to each Fund’s net assets at period end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the period.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 41 (Unaudited) Investment Transactions and Related Income: Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Withholding taxes on interest, dividends, and gains as a result of certain investments by the Funds have been provided for in accordance with each investment’s applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Securities Lending: The Funds, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”), may lend their securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidelines. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Funds’ Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Funds effectively do not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Funds’ Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Funds' securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, a Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. In addition, there is a risk that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. The Funds' agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Funds may not be sold or repledged, except to satisfy borrower default. The following table is a summary of the Funds' securities lending transactions as of December 31, 2022. Value of Securities on Loan Non-Cash Collateral Cash Collateral US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund ............................. $ 79,023 $— $ 81,296 Market Neutral Income Fund ........................................ 83,279,229 — 88,079,696 Foreign Currency Translations: The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of a Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investment securities and foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations are disclosed as Net realized gains (losses) from investment securities and foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Foreign Taxes: The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. Federal Income Taxes: Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Funds have a tax year end of June 30. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Funds did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 42 (Unaudited) Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken. Allocations: Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or an affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis. Income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses such as transfer agent fees, state registration fees, printing fees, and 12b-1 fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred. 3.Purchases and Sales: Purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the six months ended December 31, 2022, were as follows: Excluding U.S. Government Securities Purchases Sales US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund ............................................... $ 38,935,363 $ 46,532,621 Market Neutral Income Fund .......................................................... 1,836,199,378 3,199,670,055 4.Affiliated Fund Ownership: The Funds offer shares for investment by other funds.

Certain officers and/or interested trustees of the Funds are also officers and/or employees of the Adviser, administrator, fund accountant, sub-administrator, sub-fund accountant, custodian, legal counsel, and Distributor. 6. Risks: The Funds may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks. Equity Risk — The value of the equity securities in which the Funds invest may decline in response to developments affecting individual companies and/or general, economic conditions in the United States or abroad. A company’s earnings or dividends may not increase as expected (or may decline) because of poor management, competitive pressures, reliance on particular suppliers or geographical regions, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures, man-made or natural disasters, military confrontations or wars, terrorism, public health crises, or other events, conditions, and factors. Price changes may be temporary or last for extended periods. Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Funds. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods. Large-Capitalization Stock Risk — The securities of large-capitalization companies may underperform the securities of smaller capitalization companies or the market as a whole. The growth rate of larger, more established companies may lag those of smaller companies, especially during periods of economic expansion. Investment Style Risk — Different types of investment styles, for example growth or value, tend to perform differently and shift into and out of favor with investors depending on changes in market and economic sentiment and conditions. As a result, the Funds' performance may at times be worse than the performance of other mutual funds that invest more broadly or that have different investment styles. 7. Borrowing and Interfund Lending: Line of Credit: The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note “Line of Credit” agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each Fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. Prior to June 28, 2022, interest was based on the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.10 percent. The Funds did not experience a material financial impact transitioning from LIBOR to SOFR. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees. The Funds had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended December 31, 2022. Interfund Lending: The Trust and the Adviser rely on an exemptive order granted by the SEC in March 2017 (the “Order”), permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows each Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 45 (Unaudited) other fund in the Victory Funds Complex that is permitted to participate in the Facility, relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are allowed for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. As a Borrower, interest charged to each Fund, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Interfund lending fees. As a Lender, interest earned by each Fund, if any, during the period, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Interfund lending. The average borrowing or lending for the days outstanding and average interest rate for the Funds that utilized this Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2022, were as follows: Borrower or Lender Amount Outstanding December 31, 2022 Average Borrowing* Days Borrowing Outstanding Average Interest Rate* Maximum Borrowing During the Period Market Neutral Income Fund. . . . . .Borrower $— $30,152,583 12 3.90% $44,148,000 * Based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding for the period ended December 31, 2022. 8. Federal Income Tax Information: Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid as noted in the table below. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually from each Fund. Declared Paid US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Quarterly Quarterly Market Neutral Income Fund. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Annually Annually The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Funds may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year. At the tax year ended June 30, 2022, the Funds had no capital loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes.

Supplemental Information Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 46 (Unaudited) Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information Proxy Voting: Information regarding the policies and procedures each Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling 800-539-3863. The information is also included in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. Information relating to how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments: The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. Expense Examples As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022. The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds. Please note the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Victory Portfolios II 47 (Unaudited) Supplemental Information — continued December 31, 2022 Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Agreement”) The Board approved the Agreement on behalf of each of the Funds at a meeting, which was called for that purpose, on December 6, 2022. The Board also considered information relating to the Funds and the Agreement provided throughout the year and, more specifically, at the meetings on October 18, 2022 and December 6, 2022. In considering whether to approve the Agreement, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information that the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusions. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated this information along with other information obtained throughout the year and was advised by legal counsel to the Funds and independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered a past review of their overall process for conducting the annual review of the Funds’ advisory arrangements by a consultant retained through their counsel. The Board considered each Fund’s advisory fee, expense ratio and investment performance as significant factors in determining whether the Agreement should be continued. In considering whether the compensation paid to the Adviser was fair and reasonable, the Board also evaluated, among other things, the following factors: • The requirements of the Funds for the services provided by the Adviser; • The nature, quality and extent of the services provided and expected to be provided; • The performance of the Funds as compared to comparable funds; • The fees payable for the services and whether the fee arrangements provided for economies of scale that would benefit Fund shareholders as the Funds grow (acknowledging that economies of scale can be complex to assess and typically are not directly measurable); • Whether the fee would be sufficient to enable the Adviser to attract and retain experienced personnel and continue to provide quality services to the Funds; • The fees paid by other clients of the Adviser whose accounts are managed in a similar investment style and any differences in the services provided to the other clients compared to those provided to the Funds; • The total expenses of each Fund; • Management’s commitment to operating the Funds at competitive expense levels; • The profitability of the Adviser (as reflected by comparing fees earned against an estimate of the Adviser’s costs) with respect to the Adviser’s relationship with the Funds; • Research and other service benefits received by the Adviser obtained through payment of client commissions for securities transactions; • Other benefits received by the Adviser, and its affiliates, including revenues paid to the Adviser, or its affiliates, by the Funds for administration and fund accounting services, shareholder services and distribution; • The capabilities and financial condition of the Adviser; • Current economic and industry trends; and • The historical relationship between each Fund and the Adviser. The Board reviewed each Fund’s current management fee, comprised of the advisory fee plus the administrative services fee paid to the Adviser, in the context of the Adviser’s profitability with respect to each Fund individually. The Board retained an independent, third-party consultant to provide comparative information about fees, expenses and performance, and to design and maintain a database of relevant information designed to assist the Board in retrieving and analyzing comparative information. The Board met with the consultant to review its inputs and methodologies, among other things. The Board compared each Fund’s gross management fee and total operating expense ratio on a net and gross basis with the median gross management fee and median expense ratio of a universe of comparable mutual funds compiled by the consultant and a peer group of funds with similar investment strategies selected by that consultant from the universe. The Board reviewed the factors and methodology used by the consultant in the selection of each Fund’s peer group, including the consultant’s selection of a broad universe of funds, the more specific universe of comparable funds, and peer groups of funds with comparable investment strategies and asset levels, among other factors. The Board also reviewed any changes to the consultant’s methodology as compared to the prior year, including those resulting from the Adviser’s input, if any. The Board noted that none of the advisory fee arrangements for the Funds included breakpoints, which would be a structure that results in reduced fees as a fund grows. The Board also considered the Adviser’s commitment to limit expenses as discussed in more detail below. For Funds with total net expense ratios that ranked within the fourth quartile (most expensive) in relation to their peers as evaluated by a consultant, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, supplemental information about the level of fees and the nature of the services provided. The Adviser reviewed additional relevant circumstances, which included, among other things, specialized strategies, small or decreasing assets, or rapid or recent changes in peer expense ratios. The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser’s oversight of the Funds’ day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Funds and the Trust. The Board found that the gross annual management fee paid by each Fund was within the range of management fees paid by each Fund’s respective peer group. The Board also found that each Fund’s Class A net annual expense ratio, taking into account any shareholder servicing

Supplemental Information — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 48 (Unaudited) or distribution fees, was reasonable as compared with each Fund’s respective peer group. The Board considered the Adviser’s contractual agreement with each Fund to waive its fees and reimburse expenses of certain classes for a specified period of time, as described in the Fund’s prospectus. The Board reviewed each Fund’s performance over one-, three- and five-year periods against the performance of the Fund’s selected peer group and benchmark index. The Board recognized that the performance of the Funds and the peer group funds are net of expenses, while the performance of the benchmark index is gross returns. The Board reviewed various other specific factors with respect to each Fund, as described below. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not rank the importance of any particular information or factor considered and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd Index Fund: Noting that the Fund commenced operations in 2012, the Board compared the Fund’s Class A performance for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2022, to that of the median performance of the Fund’s peer group for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund underperformed the benchmark index for all of the periods reviewed, outperformed the peer group median for the one- and three-year periods, and underperformed the peer group median for the five-year period. The Board noted that the Fund’s investment objective is to track its benchmark index before fees and expenses. The Board recognized that the performance of the Fund is net of expenses, while the performance of the benchmark index is gross returns and as a result, the Fund generally will underperform its benchmark due to fees and expenses. The Board discussed with the Adviser how market conditions affected the Fund during periods of underperformance given the Fund’s investment strategy and fee and expense profile. Having considered, among other things: (1) the Fund’s management fee compared to comparable mutual funds; (2) the Fund’s total expense ratio compared to comparable mutual funds; (3) that the Adviser’s willingness to limit the expenses of certain classes for a period of time would provide stability to the Fund’s expenses for those share classes during that period; and (4) the Fund’s performance during the periods reviewed, the Board concluded that the Agreement continued to be in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Market Neutral Income Fund: Noting that the Fund commenced operations in 2012, the Board compared the Fund’s Class A performance for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2022, to that of the median performance of the Fund’s peer group and benchmark index for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund outperformed the benchmark for all of the periods reviewed, outperformed the peer group median for the one-and five-year periods, and matched the peer group median for the three-year period. Having considered, among other things: (1) the Fund’s management fee compared to comparable mutual funds; (2) the Fund’s total expense ratio compared to comparable mutual funds; (3) that the Adviser’s willingness to limit the expenses of certain classes for a period of time would provide stability to the Fund’s expenses for those share classes during that period; and (4) the Fund’s performance during the periods reviewed, the Board concluded that the Agreement continued to be in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Conclusion: Based on its review of the information requested and provided, and following extended discussions, the Board determined that the Agreement, on behalf of the Funds discussed above, was consistent with the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders, and the Board unanimously approved the Agreement, on behalf of each Fund, for an additional annual period on the basis of the foregoing review and discussions and the following considerations, among others: • The fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee payable to the Adviser under the Agreement in light of the investment advisory services provided, the costs of these services, the profitability of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund and the comparability of the fee paid to the fees paid by other investment companies; • The nature, quality and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser; • The Adviser’s entrepreneurial commitment to the management of the Funds and the creation of a broad-based family of funds, which entails a substantial commitment of the Adviser’s resources to the successful operation of the Funds; • The Adviser’s representations regarding its staffing and capabilities to manage the Funds, including the retention of personnel with relevant portfolio management experience; • The Adviser’s efforts to enhance investment results by, among other things, developing and supporting quality portfolio management teams; and • The overall high quality of the personnel, operations, financial condition, investment management capabilities, methodologies and perfor-mance of the Adviser.

Notes to Financial Statements Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 171 (Unaudited) 1. Organization: Victory Portfolios II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and the Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 25 funds, 23 of which are Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”), and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value. The accompanying financial statements are those of the following 17 Funds (collectively, the “Funds” and individually, a “Fund”). Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act. Funds (Legal Name) Funds (Short Name) VictoryShares US 500 Volatility Wtd ETF US 500 Volatility Wtd ETF VictoryShares US Small Cap Volatility Wtd ETF US Small Cap Volatility Wtd ETF VictoryShares International Volatility Wtd ETF International Volatility Wtd ETF VictoryShares US Large Cap High Div Volatility Wtd ETF US Large Cap High Div Volatility Wtd ETF VictoryShares US Small Cap High Div Volatility Wtd ETF US Small Cap High Div Volatility Wtd ETF VictoryShares International High Div Volatility Wtd ETF International High Div Volatility Wtd ETF VictoryShares Dividend Accelerator ETF Dividend Accelerator ETF VictoryShares US Multi-Factor Minimum Volatility ETF US Multi-Factor Minimum Volatility ETF VictoryShares US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF VictoryShares US EQ Income Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF US EQ Income Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF VictoryShares US Discovery Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF US Discovery Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF VictoryShares Developed Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF Developed Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF VictoryShares Nasdaq Next 50 ETF Nasdaq Next 50 ETF VictoryShares ESG Core Plus Bond ETF ESG Core Plus Bond ETF VictoryShares ESG Corporate Bond ETF ESG Corporate Bond ETF VictoryShares THB Mid Cap ESG ETF THB Mid Cap ESG ETF VictoryShares WestEnd U.S. Sector ETF WestEnd U.S. Sector ETF*^ * Commenced operations October 12, 2022. ^ Effective December 16, 2022, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) has approved changes to the investment strategy of the West-End U.S. Sector ETF. While the Fund’s principal investment strategy of investing in one or more GICS® Sectors (as defined in the Fund’s prospectus) will not change, the Fund will implement its GICS® Sectors exposure strategy by investing directly in equity securities rather than investing only in ETFs. Victory Capital Management Inc. (“VCM” or the “Adviser”) is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote. 2. Significant Accounting Policies: The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946. Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC. (the “Exchange”). The Funds issue and redeem shares at Net Asset Value ("NAV") only in aggregations of 50,000 shares, or 25,000 shares in the case of THB Mid Cap ESG ETF, ESG Core Plus Bond ETF, ESG Corporate Bond ETF, and Nasdaq Next 50 ETF and 10,000 shares for WestEnd U.S. Sector ETF (each a “Creation Unit”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for a basket of securities included in the respective Fund’s Index (the “Deposit Securities”), and/or with the deposit of a specified cash payment (the “Cash Component”), plus a transaction fee. Shares trade on the Exchange at market prices that may be below, at, or above NAV. Shares of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the distributor. Only Authorized Participants may purchase or redeem the shares directly from a Fund. In addition, shares may be issued in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash equal to up to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In each instance of such cash creations or redemptions, transaction fees may be imposed and may be higher than the transaction fees associated with in-kind creations or redemptions. Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. Shares of each Fund have equal rights and privileges. A purchase (i.e., creation) transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transactional costs associated with the purchase of

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 172 (Unaudited) Creation Units. In addition, a variable fee may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units. Variable fees received by each Fund are displayed in the Capital Transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as an increase to Capital. The transaction fees for each Fund are listed below: Fee for In-Kind and Cash Purchases and Redemptions Maximum Additional Variable Charge for Cash Purchases and Redemptions* US 500 Volatility Wtd ETF ............................................... $ 750 2.00% US Small Cap Volatility Wtd ETF .......................................... 750 2.00% International Volatility Wtd ETF ........................................... 6,000 2.00% US Large Cap High Div Volatility Wtd ETF ................................... 250 2.00% US Small Cap High Div Volatility Wtd ETF ................................... 250 2.00% International High Div Volatility Wtd ETF .................................... 1,500 2.00% Dividend Accelerator ETF ............................................... 250 2.00% US Multi-Factor Minimum Volatility ETF .................................... 250 2.00% US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF ....................................... 750 2.00% US EQ Income Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF.................................. 250 2.00% US Discovery Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF................................... 750 2.00% Developed Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF ..................................... 4,500 2.00% Nasdaq Next 50 ETF ................................................... 250 2.00% ESG Core Plus Bond ETF................................................ 100 2.00% ESG Corporate Bond ETF ............................................... 100 2.00% THB Mid Cap ESG ETF................................................. 250 2.00% WestEnd U.S. Sector ETF................................................ 100 2.00% * As a percentage of the amount invested Investment Valuation: The Funds record investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds' investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: • Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities • Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, or credit spreads, applicable to those securities, etc.) • Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments. The Adviser, appointed as the valuation designee by the Trust's Board of Trustees' (the “Board”), has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the “Committee”), and subject to Board oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Funds' valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board. Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including ETFs, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), and Rights, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in open-end investment companies, other than ETFs, are valued at their NAV. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Debt securities are valued each business day by a pricing service approved by the valuation designee and subject to the oversight of the Board. The pricing service uses the evaluated bid or the last sale price to value securities. Debt obligations maturing within 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or an exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund’s NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 176 (Unaudited) Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”): The Funds may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income-producing real estate or real-estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Funds or when such information becomes known. Securities Purchased on a Delayed-Delivery or When-Issued Basis: The Funds may purchase securities on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Funds on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, or for delayed draws on loans can generally take place within 35 days a month or more after the trade date. Securities that require more than 35 days to settle are considered a senior security and subject to Rule 18f-4. At the time the Funds makes the commitment to purchase a security on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, the Funds records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining NAV. No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles and payment takes place. If the Funds owns delayed-delivery or when-issued securities, these values are included in Payables for Investments purchased on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the segregated assets are identified on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Municipal Obligations: The values of municipal obligations can fluctuate and may be affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes, and by financial developments affecting municipal issuers. Payment of municipal obligations may depend on a relatively limited source of revenue, resulting in greater credit risk. Future changes in federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations. Investment Companies: Open-End Funds: The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds. Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities: The values of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Funds to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The values of mortgage- and asset-backed securities depend in part on the credit quality and adequacy of the underlying assets or collateral and may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of these factors as well as current and future repayment rates. Some mortgage-backed securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, commonly known as “Ginnie Mae”), while other mortgage-backed securities (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, commonly known as “Fannie Mae” and “Freddie Mac,” respectively), are backed only by the credit of the government entity issuing them. In addition, some mortgage-backed securities are issued by private entities and, as such, are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government. Loans: Floating rate loans in which a Fund invests are primarily “senior” loans. Senior floating rate loans typically hold a senior position in the capital structures of the borrower, are typically secured by specific collateral, and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the borrower that is senior to that held by subordinated debtholders and stockholders of the borrower. While these protections may reduce risk, these investments still present significant credit risk. A significant portion of a Fund’s floating rate investments may be issued in connection with highly leveraged transactions such as leveraged buyouts, leveraged recapitalization loans, and other types of acquisition financing. Obligations in these types of transactions are subject to greater credit risk (including default and bankruptcy) than many other investments and may be, or become, illiquid. See the note below regarding below investment grade securities. The Funds may purchase second-lien loans (secured loans with a claim on collateral subordinate to a senior lender’s claim on such collateral), fixed rate loans, unsecured loans, and other debt obligations. Transactions in loans often settle on a delayed basis, and a Fund may not receive the proceeds from the sale of a loan or pay for a loan purchase for a substantial period of time after entering into the transactions. Derivative Instruments: Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts: The Funds may enter into foreign exchange currency contracts to convert U.S. dollars to and from various foreign currencies. A foreign exchange currency contract is an obligation by a Fund to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price (in U.S. dollars) set at the time of the contract. The Funds do not engage in “cross-currency” foreign exchange contracts (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell one foreign currency in exchange for another foreign currency). The Funds’ foreign exchange currency contracts might be considered spot contracts (typically a contract

Notes to Financial Statements �� continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 177 (Unaudited) of one week or less) or forward contracts (typically a contract term over one week). A spot contract is entered into for purposes of hedging against foreign currency fluctuations relating to a specific portfolio transaction, such as the delay between a security transaction trade date and settlement date. Forward contracts are entered into for purposes of hedging portfolio holdings or concentrations of such holdings. The Funds enter into foreign exchange currency contracts solely for spot or forward hedging purposes, and not for speculative purposes (i.e., the Funds do not enter into such contracts solely for the purpose of earning foreign currency gains). Each foreign exchange currency contract is adjusted daily by the prevailing spot or forward rate of the underlying currency, and any appreciation or depreciation is recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, at which time the Funds record realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of a contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Funds could be exposed to risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of a foreign exchange currency contract or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. In addition, the use of foreign exchange currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. As of December 31, 2022, the Funds had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts. Futures Contracts: The Funds may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, and purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made. The Funds may enter into futures contracts in an effort to hedge against market risks. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Funds the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Funds to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A good faith margin deposit, known as initial margin, of cash or government securities with a broker or custodian is required to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds based on the change in the market value of the position and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the gain or loss is realized. The Funds may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Funds had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of the Funds' futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting the Funds' ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions. The collateral held by the Funds is reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for futures contracts. Management has determined that no offsetting requirements exist as a result of their conclusion that the Funds are not subject to master netting agreements for futures contracts. During the six months December 31, 2022, the Funds entered into futures contracts primarily for the strategy of hedging or other purposes, including but not limited to, providing liquidity and equitizing cash.

The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to each Fund’s net assets at period end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the period. Investment Transactions and Related Income: Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as components of Interest income on the Statements of Operations.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 179 (Unaudited) The Funds may receive other income from investments in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees, and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received. These amounts, if received, are included in Interest income on the Statements of Operations. Withholding taxes on interest, dividends, and gains as a result of certain investments by the Funds have been provided for in accordance with each investment’s applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Securities Lending: The Funds, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”), may lend their securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidelines. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Funds’ Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Funds effectively do not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Funds’ Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Funds' securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, a Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. In addition, there is a risk that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. The Funds' agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Funds may not be sold or repledged, except to satisfy borrower default. The following table is a summary of the Funds' securities lending transactions as of December 31, 2022.

Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of a Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investment securities and foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations are disclosed as Net realized gains (losses) from investment securities and foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Foreign Taxes: The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 180 (Unaudited) Federal Income Taxes: Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

Risks: The Funds may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks. Equity Risk — The value of the equity securities in which the Funds invest may decline in response to developments affecting individual companies and/or general, economic conditions in the United States or abroad. A company’s earnings or dividends may not increase as expected (or may decline) because of poor management, competitive pressures, reliance on particular suppliers or geographical regions, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures, man-made or natural disasters, military confrontations or wars, terrorism, public health crises, or other events, conditions, and factors. Price changes may be temporary or last for extended periods.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 184 (Unaudited) Foreign Securities Risk — The International Volatility Wtd ETF, International High Div Volatility Wtd ETF and Developed Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF invest in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more of less foreign government regulations, less public information, and less economic, political, and social stability in the countries in which the Funds invest. The imposition of exchange controls, sanctions, confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs), and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments; or problems in shares registration, settlement, or custody also may result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Funds have exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Passive Investment Risk — Certain Funds are designed to track its index and is not actively managed. A Fund will not buy or sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected performance of a security, industry or sector, unless that security is added to or removed, respectively, from its index. A Fund does not, therefore, seek returns in excess of its index, and does not attempt to take defensive positions or hedge against potential risks unless such defensive positions are also taken by its index. Different types of investment styles, for example passively managed or actively managed, or growth or value, tend to perform differently and shift into and out of favor with investors depending on changes in market and economic sentiment and conditions. As a result, a Fund’s performance may at times be worse than the performance of other mutual funds that invest more broadly or that have different investment styles. LIBOR Discontinuation Risk — The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) discontinuation may adversely affect the financial markets generally and the Funds' operations, finances and investments specifically. LIBOR has been the principal floating-rate benchmark in the financial markets. However, LIBOR has been or will be discontinued as a floating rate benchmark. The date of discontinuation depends on the LIBOR currency and tenor. With limited exceptions, no new LIBOR obligations will be entered into after December 31, 2021. Existing LIBOR obligations have transitioned or will transition to another benchmark, depending on the LIBOR currency and tenor. For some existing LIBOR-based obligations, the contractual consequences of the discontinuation of LIBOR may not be clear. Non-LIBOR floating-rate obligations, including Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)-based obligations, may have returns and values that fluctuate more than those of floating-rate debt obligations that are based on LIBOR or other rates. Also, because SOFR and some alternative floating rates are relatively new market indexes, markets for certain non-LIBOR obligations may never develop or may not be liquid. Market terms for non-LIBOR floating rate obligations, such as the spread over the index reflected in interest-rate provisions, may evolve over time, and prices of non-LIBOR floating rate obligations may be different depending on when they are issued and changing views about correct spread levels. Various SOFR-based rates, including SOFR-based term rates, and various non-SOFR-based rates are expected to develop in response to the discontinuation of U.S. dollar LIBOR, which may create various risks for the Funds and the financial markets more generally. There are non-LIBOR forward-looking floating rates that are not based on SOFR and that may be considered by participants in the financial markets as LIBOR alternatives. Such rates include AMERIBOR (American Interbank Offered Rate), BSBY (Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index) and BYI (Bank Yield Index). Unlike forward-looking SOFR-based term rates, such rates are intended to reflect a bank credit spread component. It is not clear how replacement rates for LIBOR — including SOFR-based rates and non-SOFR-based rates — will develop and to what extent they will be used. There is no assurance that these replacement rates will be suitable substitutes for LIBOR, and thus the substitution of such rates for LIBOR could have an adverse effect on the Funds and the financial markets more generally. Concerns about market depth and stability could affect the development of non-SOFR-based term rates, and such rates may create various risks, which may or may not be similar to the risks relating to SOFR. Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Funds. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods. 7. Borrowing: Line of Credit: The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note “Line of Credit” agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each Fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. Prior to June 28, 2022, interest was based on the one-month LIBOR plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, June 27, 2022, interest was based on

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 185 (Unaudited) the one-month SOFR plus 1.10 percent. The Funds did not experience a material financial impact transitioning from LIBOR to SOFR. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees. The Funds had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the six months ended December 31, 2022. 8.

To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Funds may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year. As of tax year ended June 30, 2022, the Funds had net capital loss carryforwards as shown in the table below. It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a distribution of capital gains realized in the future until the capital loss carryforwards have been used.

The Funds do not invest in affiliated securities for the purpose of exercising management or control. These securities are noted as affiliated on a Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Section 12(d)(3) of the 1940 Act, and Rule 12d3-1(c) under the 1940 Act, generally prohibit a fund from purchasing the securities issued by, among other entities, a fund’s investment adviser. When a fund’s investment objective is to track the performance of an unaffiliated index by investing in the stocks that comprise that index, the staff of the SEC has taken the position that, subject to certain conditions, the fund may establish and maintain a position in the common stock of an affiliate of the fund’s investment adviser in an amount approximately in proportion to the

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 186 (Unaudited) percentage that the stock is represented in the index. In seeking to provide investment results that closely correspond to its respective unaffiliated index, one or more Funds may hold the securities of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., the parent company of VCM and other Fund service providers.

Supplemental Information Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 187 (Unaudited) Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information Proxy Voting: Information regarding the policies and procedures each Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling 800-539-3863. The information is also included in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. Information relating to how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments: The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. Expense Examples As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022 (unless otherwise noted). The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds. Please note the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Victory Portfolios II 189 (Unaudited) Supplemental Information — continued December 31, 2022 Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Agreement”) The Board approved the Agreement on behalf of each of the Funds at a meeting, which was called for that purpose, on December 6, 2022. The Board also considered information relating to the Funds and the Agreement provided throughout the year and, more specifically, at the meetings on October 18, 2022 and December 6, 2022. In considering whether to approve the Agreement, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information that the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusions. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated this information along with other information obtained throughout the year and was advised by legal counsel to the Funds and independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered a past review of their overall process for conducting the annual review of the Funds’ advisory arrangements by a consultant retained through their counsel. The Board considered each Fund’s advisory fee, expense ratio and investment performance as significant factors in determining whether the Agreement should be continued. In considering whether the compensation paid to the Adviser was fair and reasonable, the Board also evaluated, among other things, the following factors: • The requirements of the Funds for the services provided by the Adviser; • The nature, quality and extent of the services provided and expected to be provided; • The performance of the Funds as compared to comparable funds; • The fees payable for the services and whether the fee arrangements provided for economies of scale that would benefit Fund shareholders as the Funds grow (acknowledging that economies of scale can be complex to assess and typically are not directly measurable); • Whether the fee would be sufficient to enable the Adviser to attract and retain experienced personnel and continue to provide quality services to the Funds; • Fees paid by other clients of the Adviser whose accounts are managed in a similar investment style and any differences in the services provided to the other clients compared to those provided to the Funds; • Total expenses of each Fund; • Management’s commitment to operating the Funds at competitive expense levels; • The profitability of the Adviser (as reflected by comparing fees earned against an estimate of the Adviser’s costs) with respect to the Adviser’s relationship with the Funds; • Research and other service benefits received by the Adviser obtained through payment of client commissions for securities transactions; • Other benefits received by the Adviser, and its affiliates, including revenues paid to the Adviser, or its affiliates, by the Funds for administration and fund accounting services, shareholder services and distribution; • The capabilities and financial condition of the Adviser; • Current economic and industry trends; and • The historical relationship between each Fund and the Adviser. The Board reviewed each Fund’s current management fee in the context of the Adviser’s profitability with respect to each Fund. The Board retained an independent, third-party consultant to provide comparative information about fees, expenses and performance, and to design and maintain a database of relevant information designed to assist the Board in retrieving and analyzing comparative information. The Board met with the consultant to review its inputs and methodologies, among other things. The Board compared each Fund’s gross management fee and total expense ratio on a net and gross basis with the median gross management fee and median expense ratio of a universe of comparable exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) compiled by the consultant and a peer group of funds with similar investment strategies selected by that consultant from the universe. The Board reviewed the factors and methodology used by the consultant in the selection of each Fund’s peer group, including the consultant’s selection of a broad universe of funds, the more specific universe of comparable funds, and peer groups of funds with comparable investment strategies and asset levels, among other factors. The Board also reviewed any changes to the consultant’s methodology as compared to the prior year, including those resulting from the Adviser’s input, if any. The Board also reviewed the fee of a comparable mutual fund managed by the Adviser that is comparable to the VictoryShares US 500 Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF and the differences in the services provided to the mutual fund. The Board noted that none of the advisory fee arrangements for the Funds included breakpoints, which would be a structure that results in reduced fees as a fund grows. The Board also considered the Adviser’s commitment to limit expenses as discussed in more detail below. For Funds with total net expense ratios that ranked within the fourth quartile (most expensive) in relation to their peers as evaluated by a consultant, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, supplemental information about the level of fees and the nature of the services provided. The Adviser reviewed additional relevant circumstances, which included, among other things, specialized strategies, small or decreasing assets, or rapid or recent changes in peer expense ratios. The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser’s oversight of the Funds’ day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Funds and the Trust.

Supplemental Information — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 190 (Unaudited) The Board found that the gross annual management fee paid by each Fund was within the range of management fees paid by each Fund’s respective peer group. The Board also found that each Fund’s net annual expense ratio was reasonable as compared with each Fund’s respective peer group. The Board considered the Adviser’s contractual agreement with each Fund to waive its fees and reimburse expenses for a specified period of time, as described in the Fund’s prospectus. The Board reviewed each Fund’s performance against the performance of the Fund’s selected peer group and benchmark index. The Board noted that each Fund’s investment objective is to track an index maintained by an independent third party. The Board recognized that the performance of each Fund is net of expenses, while the performance of each benchmark index reflects gross returns, and as a result, each Fund will generally underperform its benchmark index due to fees and expenses. The Board also considered each Fund’s tracking error as a factor in evaluating performance. The Board reviewed various other specific factors with respect to each Fund, as described below. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not rank the importance of any particular information or factor considered and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.

The Board noted the Fund’s tracking error for the periods relative to its peers.

Conclusion: Based on its review of the information requested and provided, and following extended discussions, the Board determined that the Agreement, on behalf of the Funds discussed above, was consistent with the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders, and the Board unanimously approved the Agreement, on behalf of each Fund, for an additional annual period on the basis of the foregoing review and discussions and the following considerations, among others: • The fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee payable to the Adviser under the Agreement in light of the investment advisory services provided, the costs of these services, the profitability of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund and the comparability of the fee paid to the fees paid by other investment companies, to the extent applicable; • The nature, quality and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser; • The Adviser’s entrepreneurial commitment to the management of the Funds and the creation of a broad-based family of funds, which entails a substantial commitment of the Adviser’s resources to the successful operation of the Funds; • The Adviser’s representations regarding its staffing and capabilities to manage the Funds, including the retention of personnel with relevant portfolio management experience; • The Adviser’s efforts to enhance investment results by, among other things, developing and supporting quality portfolio management teams; and • The overall high quality of the personnel, operations, financial condition, investment management capabilities, methodologies and perfor-mance of the Adviser. Considerations of the Board in Approving the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) The Board approved the Agreement on behalf of the VictoryShares WestEnd U.S. Sector ETF (the “Fund”) at a meeting, which was called for that purpose, on August 30, 2022. In considering whether to approve the Agreement, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information that the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusions. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated the information provided and its extensive experience with the Adviser and was advised by legal counsel to the Fund and independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Board reviewed numerous factors with respect to the Fund. The Board recognized that management was proposing to add the Fund as an investment portfolio of the Trust and that the Fund had not yet commenced operations and thus had no performance record or historical expenses. In considering whether the compensation to be paid to the Adviser was fair and reasonable, the Board also evaluated, among other things, the following factors: • The requirements of the Fund for the services to be provided by the Adviser; • The nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the other exchange-traded funds in the Trust and expected to be provided to the Fund; • The proposed fees to be paid for the services and whether the fee arrangements provide for economies of scale that would benefit Fund shareholders as the Fund grows (acknowledging that economies of scale can be complex to assess and typically are not directly measurable); • Fees paid by other clients of the Adviser whose accounts are managed in a similar investment style and any differences in the services provided to the other clients compared to those provided to the Fund; • The estimated total expenses of the Fund; • Management’s commitment to operating the Fund at competitive expense levels; • The expected profitability of the Adviser with respect to the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund; • Research and other service benefits expected to be received by the Adviser obtained through payment of client commissions for securities transactions; • Other benefits expected to be received by the Adviser, including revenues to be paid to affiliates of the Adviser by the Fund for administration and fund accounting services; • The capabilities and financial condition of the Adviser; • Current economic and industry trends; and • The historical relationship between the Trust and the Adviser. The Board reviewed the Fund’s proposed gross management fee both in the context of the Adviser’s expected profitability from the Fund and the historical costs associated with operating similar funds. The Board acknowledged that the Fund’s profitability is inherently difficult to estimate in a startup phase. In addition, the Board compared the Fund’s expected operating expense ratio, with the understanding that no distribution or shareholder servicing fees were being proposed to be paid at this time, and management fee with comparable exchange-traded funds in a

Supplemental Information — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 194 (Unaudited) peer group of funds with similar investment strategies. The Board considered the Adviser’s commitment to competitive total operating expense ratios through its contractual agreement to waive its fees and reimburse expenses for a specified period of time, noting that this could result in substantial initial subsidies by the Adviser. The Trustees noted that no breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule for the Fund were being proposed at this time. The Board reviewed various other factors with respect to the Fund. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not rank the importance of any particular information or factor considered and each Trustee may gave attributed different weights to various factors. Approval of the Agreement on Behalf of the Fund Based on its review of the information requested and provided, and following extended discussions, the Board determined that the Agreement, on behalf of the Fund, were consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its future shareholders, and the Board unanimously approved the Agreement, on behalf of the Fund, for an initial two year period on the basis of the foregoing review and discussions and the following considerations, among others: • The fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee to be paid to the Adviser under the Agreement in light of the investment advisory services to be provided, the costs of these services, the expected profitability of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund and the comparability of the fee to be paid to the fees paid by other investment companies; • The nature, quality and extent of the investment advisory services to be provided by Adviser; • The Adviser’s entrepreneurial commitment to the management of the Fund and their inclusion in a broad-based family of funds, which could entail a substantial commitment of the Adviser’s resources to the successful operation of the Fund; • The Adviser’s representations regarding its staffing and capabilities to manage the Fund, including the retention of personnel with relevant portfolio management experience; • The Adviser’s efforts to enhance investment results by, among other things, developing quality portfolio management teams; and • The overall high quality of the personnel, operations, financial condition, investment management capabilities, methodologies and perfor-mance of the Adviser.

Notes to Financial Statements Victory Portfolios December 31, 2022 42 (Unaudited) 1. Organization: Victory Portfolios II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and the Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 25 funds, 23 of which are Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”), and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value. The accompanying financial statements are those of the following two Funds (collectively, the “Funds” and individually, a “Fund”). Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act. Funds (Legal Name) Funds (Short Name) VictoryShares USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF VictoryShares USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF Victory Capital Management Inc. (“VCM” or the “Adviser”) is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote. 2. Significant Accounting Policies: The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946. Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC. (the “Exchange”). The Funds issue and redeem shares (“Shares”) at net asset value (“NAV”) only in aggregations of 50,000 shares, (each a “Creation Unit”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for a basket of securities included in the respective Fund’s Index (the “Deposit Securities”), and/or with the deposit of a specified cash payment (the “Cash Component”), plus a transaction fee. Shares trade on the Exchange at market prices that may be below, at, or above NAV. Shares of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the distributor. Only Authorized Participants may purchase or redeem the shares directly from a Fund. In addition, shares may be issued in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash equal to up to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In each instance of such cash creations or redemptions, transaction fees may be imposed and may be higher than the transaction fees associated with in-kind creations or redemptions. Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. Shares of each Fund have equal rights and privileges. A purchase (i.e., creation) transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transactional costs associated with the purchase of Creation Units. In addition, a variable fee may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units. Variable fees received by each Fund are displayed in the Capital Transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as an increase to Capital. The transaction fees for each Fund are listed below: Fee for In-Kind and Cash Purchases and Redemptions Maximum Additional Variable Charge for Cash Purchases and Redemptions* USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF ......................................... $ 100 2.00% USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF .................................... 100 2.00% * As a percentage of the amount invested Investment Valuation: The Funds record investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds' investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: • Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities • Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, or credit spreads, applicable to those securities, etc.) • Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios December 31, 2022 43 (Unaudited) Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments. The Adviser, appointed as the valuation designee by the Trust's Board of Trustees' (the “Board”), has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the “Committee”), and subject to Board oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Funds' valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board. Investments in open-end investment companies, other than ETFs, are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”). These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Debt securities are valued each business day by a pricing service approved by the valuation designee and subject to the oversight of the Board. The pricing service uses the evaluated bid or the last sale price to value securities. Debt obligations maturing within 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund’s NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be. A summary of the valuations as of December 31, 2022, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF Asset-Backed Securities ...................... $— $103,508,107 $— $103,508,107 Collateralized Mortgage Obligations ............. — 25,221,936 — 25,221,936 Senior Secured Loans........................ — 421,220 — 421,220 Corporate Bonds ........................... — 150,625,719 — 150,625,719 Yankee Dollars ............................ — 38,473,006 — 38,473,006 Municipal Bonds ........................... — 24,540,612 — 24,540,612 U.S. Treasury Obligations..................... — 12,871,406 — 12,871,406 Commercial Papers ......................... — 82,729,115 — 82,729,115 Collateral for Securities Loaned ................ 2,695,500 — — 2,695,500 Total .................................... $2,695,500 $438,391,121 $— $441,086,621 USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF Asset-Backed Securities ...................... — 120,205,713 — 120,205,713 Collateralized Mortgage Obligations ............. — 58,690,318 — 58,690,318 Corporate Bonds ........................... — 402,759,095 — 402,759,095 Yankee Dollars ............................ — 108,820,873 — 108,820,873 Municipal Bonds ........................... — 32,448,150 — 32,448,150 U.S. Government Agency Mortgages............. — 93,475,426 — 93,475,426 U.S. Treasury Obligations..................... — 487,918,918 — 487,918,918 Commercial Papers ......................... — 9,695,103 — 9,695,103 Collateral for Securities Loaned ................ 5,254,740 — — 5,254,740 Total .................................... $5,254,740 $1,314,013,596 $— $1,319,268,336 As of December 31, 2022, there were no transfers into/out of Level 3. Securities Purchased on a Delayed-Delivery or When-Issued Basis: The Funds may purchase securities on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Funds on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, or for delayed draws on loans can generally take place within 35 days a month or more after the trade date. Securities that require more than 35 days to settle are considered a senior security and subject to Rule 18f-4. At the time the Funds makes the commitment to purchase a security on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, the Funds records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining NAV. No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles and payment takes place. If the Funds owns delayed-delivery or when-issued securities, these values are included in Payables for Investments purchased on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the segregated assets are identified on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios December 31, 2022 44 (Unaudited) Municipal Obligations: The values of municipal obligations can fluctuate and may be affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes, and by financial developments affecting municipal issuers. Payment of municipal obligations may depend on a relatively limited source of revenue, resulting in greater credit risk. Future changes in federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations. Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities: The values of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Funds to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The values of mortgage- and asset-backed securities depend in part on the credit quality and adequacy of the underlying assets or collateral and may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of these factors as well as current and future repayment rates. Some mortgage-backed securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, commonly known as “Ginnie Mae”), while other mortgage-backed securities (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, commonly known as “Fannie Mae” and “Freddie Mac,” respectively), are backed only by the credit of the government entity issuing them. In addition, some mortgage-backed securities are issued by private entities and, as such, are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government. Below-Investment-Grade Securities: Certain Funds may invest in below-investment-grade securities (i.e., lower-quality, “junk” debt), which are subject to various risks. Lower-quality debt is considered to be speculative because it is less certain that the issuer will be able to pay interest or repay the principal than in the case of investment-grade debt. These securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher-rated securities, and their values can decline significantly over short periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about their issuers, the market and the economy in general, than higher-quality debt securities. The market for these securities can be less liquid, especially during periods of recession or general market decline. Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”): CLOs are securities issued by entities that are collateralized by a pool of loans. CLOs are issued in multiple classes (tranches) and can be equity or debt with specific adjustable or fixed interest rates and varying maturities. The cash flow from the underlying loans is used to pay off each tranche separately within the debt, or senior tranches. Equity, or subordinated tranches, typically are not paid a cash flow but do offer ownership in the CLO itself in the event of a sale. Loans: Floating rate loans in which a Fund invests are primarily “senior” loans. Senior floating rate loans typically hold a senior position in the capital structures of the borrower, are typically secured by specific collateral, and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the borrower that is senior to that held by subordinated debtholders and stockholders of the borrower. While these protections may reduce risk, these investments still present significant credit risk. A significant portion of a Fund’s floating rate investments may be issued in connection with highly leveraged transactions such as leveraged buyouts, leveraged recapitalization loans, and other types of acquisition financing. Obligations in these types of transactions are subject to greater credit risk (including default and bankruptcy) than many other investments and may be, or become, illiquid. See the note below regarding below investment grade securities. The Funds may purchase second-lien loans (secured loans with a claim on collateral subordinate to a senior lender’s claim on such collateral), fixed rate loans, unsecured loans, and other debt obligations. Transactions in loans often settle on a delayed basis, and a Fund may not receive the proceeds from the sale of a loan or pay for a loan purchase for a substantial period of time after entering into the transactions. Investment Companies: Open-End Funds: The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds. Investment Transactions and Related Income: Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as components of Interest income on the Statements of Operations.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios December 31, 2022 45 (Unaudited) The Funds may receive other income from investments in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees, and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received. These amounts, if received, are included in Interest income on the Statements of Operations. Securities Lending: The Funds, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”), may lend their securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidelines. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Funds’ Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Funds effectively do not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Funds’ Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Funds' securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, a Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. In addition, there is a risk that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. The Funds' agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Funds may not be sold or repledged, except to satisfy borrower default. The following table is a summary of the Funds' securities lending transactions as of December 31, 2022. Value of Securities on Loan Non-Cash Collateral Cash Collateral USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF .................................... $ 2,614,178 $— $ 2,695,500 USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF ............................... 5,081,159 — 5,254,740 Federal Income Taxes: Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Funds have a tax year end of June 30. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Funds did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions. Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken. Allocations: Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or an affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis. Cross-Trade Transactions: Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Funds may engage in cross-trades, which are securities transactions with affiliated investment companies and advisory accounts managed by the Adviser and any applicable sub-adviser under specified conditions outlined in the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board. In addition, as defined under the valuation policies and procedures, each transaction must be effected at the independent current market price. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Funds below engaged in the following securities transactions with affiliated funds, which resulted in the following net realized gains (losses): Purchases Sales Net Realized Gains (Losses) USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF ......................................... $ 2,737,123 $ – $ –

Risks: The Funds may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks. Debt Securities or Bond Risk —The Funds are subject to the risk that the market value of the bonds in the Funds’ portfolios will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates, changes in the supply of and demand for debt securities, and other market factors. Bond prices generally are linked to the prevailing market interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond prices typically fall; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices typically rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration, which is a measure of a bond’s sensitivity to a change in interest rates. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. Should the U.S. Federal Reserve raise interest rates, the Funds may be subject to risks associated with rising interest rates. The fixed-income securities in the Funds’ portfolios also are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that an issuer of a fixed-income security cannot make timely interest and principal payments on its securities or that negative market perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of that security to decline. The Funds accept some credit risk as a recognized means to enhance an investor’s return. High-Yield Bond Risk — Fixed-income securities rated below investment grade, also known as “junk” or high-yield bonds, generally entail greater credit and liquidity risk than investment-grade securities. Their prices also may be more volatile, especially during economic downturns

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios December 31, 2022 48 (Unaudited) and financial setbacks or liquidity events. The Funds’ values could be hurt by price declines due to actual or perceived changes in an issuer’s ability to make such payments. These securities are considered by the major rating agencies to be predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to pay principal and interest, and they carry a greater risk that the issuer of such securities will default on the timely payment of principal and interest. Issuers of securities that are in default or have defaulted may fail to resume principal or interest payments, in which case the Funds may lose their entire investment. The creditworthiness of issuers of these securities may be more complex to analyze than that of issuers of investment-grade debt securities, and the overreliance on credit ratings may present additional risks. Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk—Mortgage- and asset-backed securities (“MBS” or “ABS,” respectively) differ from conventional debt securities because principal is paid back over the life of the security rather than at maturity. MBS and ABS are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that a borrower’s payments may be received earlier than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. As a result, the Funds may reinvest these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Funds' income. These securities also are subject to extension risk, which is the risk that the life of the ABS or MBS may be extended due to higher interest rates and lower prepayments. As a result, the value of the securities will decrease. The value of MBS can be impacted by factors affecting the housing market, and MBS also are subject to the risk of high default rates on the mortgages within the mortgage pool. The liquidity of non-agency or privately issued ABS or MBS securities, in particular those that are rated as non-investment grade, may change dramatically over time. LIBOR Discontinuation Risk — The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) discontinuation may adversely affect the financial markets generally and the Funds' operations, finances and investments specifically. LIBOR has been the principal floating-rate benchmark in the financial markets. However, LIBOR has been or will be discontinued as a floating rate benchmark. The date of discontinuation depends on the LIBOR currency and tenor. With limited exceptions, no new LIBOR obligations will be entered into after December 31, 2021. Existing LIBOR obligations have transitioned or will transition to another benchmark, depending on the LIBOR currency and tenor. For some existing LIBOR-based obligations, the contractual consequences of the discontinuation of LIBOR may not be clear. Non-LIBOR floating-rate obligations, including Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)-based obligations, may have returns and values that fluctuate more than those of floating-rate debt obligations that are based on LIBOR or other rates. Also, because SOFR and some alternative floating rates are relatively new market indexes, markets for certain non-LIBOR obligations may never develop or may not be liquid. Market terms for non-LIBOR floating rate obligations, such as the spread over the index reflected in interest-rate provisions, may evolve over time, and prices of non-LIBOR floating rate obligations may be different depending on when they are issued and changing views about correct spread levels. Various SOFR-based rates, including SOFR-based term rates, and various non-SOFR-based rates are expected to develop in response to the discontinuation of U.S. dollar LIBOR, which may create various risks for the Funds and the financial markets more generally. There are non-LIBOR forward-looking floating rates that are not based on SOFR and that may be considered by participants in the financial markets as LIBOR alternatives. Such rates include AMERIBOR (American Interbank Offered Rate), BSBY (Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index) and BYI (Bank Yield Index). Unlike forward-looking SOFR-based term rates, such rates are intended to reflect a bank credit spread component. It is not clear how replacement rates for LIBOR — including SOFR-based rates and non-SOFR-based rates — will develop and to what extent they will be used. There is no assurance that these replacement rates will be suitable substitutes for LIBOR, and thus the substitution of such rates for LIBOR could have an adverse effect on the Funds and the financial markets more generally. Concerns about market depth and stability could affect the development of non-SOFR-based term rates, and such rates may create various risks, which may or may not be similar to the risks relating to SOFR. Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Funds. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods. 7. Borrowing: Line of Credit: The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note “Line of Credit” agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each Fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. Prior to June 28, 2022, interest was based on the one-month LIBOR plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month SOFR plus 1.10 percent. The Funds did not experience a material financial impact transitioning from LIBOR to SOFR. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.

To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Funds may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year. At the tax year ended June 30, 2022, the Funds had no capital loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes.

Supplemental Information Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 50 (Unaudited) Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information Proxy Voting: Information regarding the policies and procedures each Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling 800-539-3863. The information is also included in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. Information relating to how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments: The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. Expense Examples As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022. The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds. Please note the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Victory Portfolios II 51 (Unaudited) Supplemental Information — continued December 31, 2022 Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Agreement”) The Board approved the Agreement on behalf of each of the Funds at a meeting, which was called for that purpose, on December 6, 2022. The Board also considered information relating to the Funds and the Agreement provided throughout the year and, more specifically, at the meetings on October 18, 2022 and December 6, 2022. In considering whether to approve the Agreement, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information that the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusions. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated this information along with other information obtained throughout the year and was advised by legal counsel to the Funds and independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Board noted that each Fund assumed the performance of its predecessor fund, that the Adviser became the investment adviser to each Fund on February 26, 2019, and that prior to that date each predecessor fund was managed by a different investment adviser. The Board considered each Fund’s advisory fee, expense ratio and investment performance as significant factors in determining whether the Agreement should be continued. In considering whether the compensation paid to the Adviser was fair and reasonable, the Board also evaluated, among other things, the following factors: • The requirements of the Funds for the services provided by the Adviser; • The nature, quality and extent of the services provided and expected to be provided; • The performance of the Funds as compared to comparable funds; • The fees payable for the services and whether the fee arrangements provided for economies of scale that would benefit Fund shareholders as the Funds grow (acknowledging that economies of scale can be complex to assess and typically are not directly measurable); • Whether the fee would be sufficient to enable the Adviser to attract and retain experienced personnel and continue to provide quality services to the Funds; • Fees paid by other clients of the Adviser whose accounts are managed in a similar investment style and any differences in the services provided to the other clients compared to those provided to the Funds; • Total expenses of each Fund; • Management’s commitment to operating the Funds at competitive expense levels; • The profitability of the Adviser (as reflected by comparing fees earned against an estimate of the Adviser’s costs) with respect to the Adviser’s relationship with the Funds; • The fact that the Funds are actively managed exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”); • Research and other service benefits received by the Adviser obtained through payment of client commissions for securities transactions; • Other benefits received by the Adviser, and its affiliates, including revenues paid to the Adviser, or its affiliates, by the Funds for administration and fund accounting services, shareholder services and distribution; • The capabilities and financial condition of the Adviser; • Current economic and industry trends; and • The historical relationship between the Trust and the Adviser. The Board reviewed each Fund’s current management fee in the context of the Adviser’s profitability with respect to each Fund. The Board retained an independent, third-party consultant to provide comparative information about fees, expenses and performance, and to design and maintain a database of relevant information designed to assist the Board in retrieving and analyzing comparative information. The Board met with the consultant to review its inputs and methodologies, among other things. The Board compared each Fund’s gross management fee and total expense ratio on a net and gross basis with the median gross management fee and median expense ratio of a universe of comparable ETFs compiled by the consultant and a peer group of funds with similar investment strategies selected by that consultant from the universe. The Board reviewed the factors and methodology used by the consultant in the selection of each Fund’s peer group, including the consultant’s selection of a broad universe of funds, the more specific universe of comparable funds, and peer groups of funds with comparable investment strategies and asset levels, among other factors. The Board noted that none of the advisory fee arrangements for the Funds included breakpoints, which would be a structure that results in reduced fees as a fund grows. The Board also considered the Adviser’s commitment to limit expenses as discussed in more detail below. The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser’s oversight of the Funds’ day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Funds and the Trust. The Board found that the gross annual management fee paid by each Fund was within the range of management fees paid by each Fund’s respective peer group. The Board also found that each Fund’s net annual expense ratio was reasonable as compared with each Fund’s respective peer group. The Board considered the Adviser’s contractual agreement with each Fund to waive its fees and reimburse expenses for a specified period of time, as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Supplemental Information — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 52 (Unaudited) The Board reviewed each Fund’s performance over the one- and three-year periods against the performance of the Fund’s selected peer group and benchmark index. The Board recognized that the performance of the Funds and the peer group funds are net of expenses, while the performance of the benchmark index is gross returns. The Board reviewed various other specific factors with respect to each Fund, as described below. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not rank the importance of any particular information or factor considered and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. VictoryShares USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF: Noting that the Fund commenced operations in 2017, the Board compared the Fund’s one- and three-year performance for the periods ended June 30, 2022, to that of the median performance of the Fund’s peer group and benchmark index for the same period and considered the fact that the Fund underperformed the benchmark index for the one-year period, outperformed the benchmark index for the three-year period, and outperformed the peer group median for both of the periods reviewed. Having considered, among other things: (1) the Fund’s management fee compared to comparable ETFs; (2) the Fund’s total expense ratio compared to comparable ETFs; (3) that the Adviser’s willingness to limit the expenses for a period of time would provide stability to the Fund’s expenses during that period; and (4) that the Fund’s performance in relation to its benchmark index and peer group was within an acceptable range, the Board concluded that the Agreement continued to be in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. VictoryShares USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF: Noting that the Fund commenced operations in 2017, the Board compared the Fund’s one- and three-year performance for the periods ended June 30, 2022, to that of the median performance of the Fund’s peer group and benchmark index for the same period and considered the fact that the Fund underperformed the benchmark index for the one-year period, outperformed the benchmark index for the three-year period, and outperformed the peer group median for both of the periods reviewed. Having considered, among other things: (1) the Fund’s management fee compared to comparable ETFs; (2) the Fund’s total expense ratio compared to comparable ETFs; (3) that the Adviser’s willingness to limit the expenses for a period of time would provide stability to the Fund’s expenses during that period; and (4) that the Fund’s performance in relation to its benchmark index and peer group was within an acceptable range, the Board concluded that the Agreement continued to be in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Conclusion: Based on its review of the information requested and provided, and following extended discussions, the Board determined that the Agreement, on behalf of the Funds discussed above, was consistent with the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders, and the Board unanimously approved the Agreement, on behalf of each Fund, for an additional annual period on the basis of the foregoing review and discussions and the following considerations, among others: • The fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee payable to the Adviser under the Agreement in light of the investment advisory services provided, the costs of these services, the profitability of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund and the comparability of the fee paid to the fees paid by other investment companies, to the extent applicable; • The nature, quality and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser; • The Adviser’s entrepreneurial commitment to the management of the Funds and the creation of a broad-based family of funds, which entails a substantial commitment of the Adviser’s resources to the successful operation of the Funds; • The Adviser’s representations regarding its staffing and capabilities to manage the Funds, including the retention of personnel with relevant portfolio management experience; • The Adviser’s efforts to enhance investment results by, among other things, developing and supporting quality portfolio management teams; and • The overall high quality of the personnel, operations, financial condition, investment management capabilities, methodologies and perfor-mance of the Adviser.

Notes to Financial Statements Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 43 (Unaudited) 1. Organization: Victory Portfolios II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and the Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 25 funds, 23 of which are Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”), and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value. The accompanying financial statements are those of the following four Funds (collectively, the “Funds” and individually, a “Fund”). Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act. Funds (Legal Name) Funds (Short Name) VictoryShares US Value Momentum ETF (Formerly VictoryShares USAA MSCI USA Value Momentum ETF) US Value Momentum ETF VictoryShares US Small Mid Cap Value Momentum ETF (Formerly VictoryShares USAA MSCI USA Small Cap Value Momentum ETF) US Small Mid Cap Value Momentum ETF VictoryShares International Value Momentum ETF (Formerly Victory-Shares USAA MSCI International Value Momentum ETF) International Value Momentum ETF VictoryShares Emerging Markets Value Momentum ETF (Formerly VictoryShares USAA MSCI Emerging Markets Value Momentum ETF) Emerging Markets Value Momentum ETF Victory Capital Management Inc. (“VCM” or the “Adviser”) is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Victory Capital Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded Delaware corporation, and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Victory Capital Operating, LLC. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote. 2. Significant Accounting Policies: The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946. Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC. (the “Exchange”). The Funds issue and redeem shares (“Shares”) at net asset value (“NAV”) only in aggregations of 50,000 shares, (each a “Creation Unit”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for a basket of securities included in the respective Fund’s Index (the “Deposit Securities”), and/or with the deposit of a specified cash payment (the “Cash Component”), plus a transaction fee. Shares trade on the Exchange at market prices that may be below, at, or above NAV. Shares of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the distributor. Only Authorized Participants may purchase or redeem the shares directly from a Fund. In addition, shares may be issued in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash equal to up to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In each instance of such cash creations or redemptions, transaction fees may be imposed and may be higher than the transaction fees associated with in-kind creations or redemptions. Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. Shares of each Fund have equal rights and privileges. A purchase (i.e., creation) transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transactional costs associated with the purchase of Creation Units. In addition, a variable fee may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units. Variable fees received by each Fund are displayed in the Capital Transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as an increase to Capital. The transaction fees for each Fund are listed below: Fee for In-Kind and Cash Purchases and Redemptions Maximum Additional Variable Charge for Cash Purchases and Redemptions* US Value Momentum ETF ............................................... $ 500 2.00% US Small Mid Cap Value Momentum ETF .................................... 750 2.00% International Value Momentum ETF ........................................ 3,000 2.00% Emerging Markets Value Momentum ETF .................................... 5,500 2.00% * As a percentage of the amount invested Investment Valuation: The Funds record investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 44 (Unaudited) The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds' investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: • Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical securities • Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, or credit spreads, applicable to those securities, etc.) • Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments. The Adviser, appointed as the valuation designee by the Trust's Board of Trustees' (the “Board”), has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the “Committee”), and subject to Board oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Funds' valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board. Portfolio securities listed or traded on securities exchanges, including ETFs, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), and Rights, are valued at the closing price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, if available, or at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system, then a security is valued at the last available bid quotation on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in open-end investment companies, other than ETFs, are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”). These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or an exchange on which they are traded. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund’s NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be. In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time the Funds’ NAV is calculated. The Funds use a systematic valuation model, provided daily by an independent third party to fair value their international equity securities. These valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. A summary of the valuations as of December 31, 2022, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total US Value Momentum ETF Common Stocks............................ $245,618,937 $— $— $245,618,937 Collateral for Securities Loaned ................ 270,000 — — 270,000 Total .................................... $245,888,937 $— $— $245,888,937 Other Financial Investments* Liabilities: Futures Contracts...........................

As of December 31, 2022, there were no transfers into/out of Level 3. Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”): The Funds may invest in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. REITs are pooled investment vehicles that invest primarily in income-producing real estate or real-estate related loans or interests (such as mortgages). Certain distributions received from REITs during the year are recorded as realized gains or return of capital as estimated by the Funds or when such information becomes known. Investment Companies: Open-End Funds: The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds. Derivative Instruments: Foreign Exchange Currency Contracts: The Funds may enter into foreign exchange currency contracts to convert U.S. dollars to and from various foreign currencies. A foreign exchange currency contract is an obligation by a Fund to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price (in U.S. dollars) set at the time of the contract. The Funds do not engage in “cross-currency” foreign exchange contracts (i.e., contracts to purchase or sell one foreign currency in exchange for another foreign currency). The Funds’ foreign exchange currency contracts might be considered spot contracts (typically a contract of one week or less) or forward contracts (typically a contract term over one week). A spot contract is entered into for purposes of hedging against foreign currency fluctuations relating to a specific portfolio transaction, such as the delay between a security transaction trade date and settlement date. Forward contracts are entered into for purposes of hedging portfolio holdings or concentrations of such holdings. The Funds enter into foreign exchange currency contracts solely for spot or forward hedging purposes, and not for speculative purposes (i.e., the Funds do not enter into such contracts solely for the purpose of earning foreign currency gains). Each foreign exchange currency contract is adjusted daily by the prevailing spot or forward rate of the underlying currency, and any appreciation or depreciation is recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, at which time the Funds record realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of a contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Funds could be exposed to risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of a foreign exchange currency contract or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. In addition, the use of foreign exchange currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. As of December 31, 2022, the Funds had no open forward foreign exchange currency contracts. Futures Contracts: The Funds may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, and purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts. A futures contract on a securities

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 46 (Unaudited) index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made. The Funds may enter into futures contracts in an effort to hedge against market risks. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Funds the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Funds to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A good faith margin deposit, known as initial margin, of cash or government securities with a broker or custodian is required to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds based on the change in the market value of the position and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the gain or loss is realized. The Funds may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Funds had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of the Funds' futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting the Funds' ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions. The collateral held by the Funds is reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under Deposit with broker for futures contracts. Management has determined that no offsetting requirements exist as a result of their conclusion that the Funds are not subject to master netting agreements for futures contracts. During the six months December 31, 2022, the Funds entered into futures contracts primarily for the strategy of hedging or other purposes, including but not limited to, providing liquidity and equitizing cash. Summary of Derivative Instruments: The following table summarizes the fair values of derivative instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, categorized by risk exposure, as of December 31, 2022: Liabilities Variation Margin Payable on Open Futures Contracts* Equity Risk Exposure: (55,448) US Value Momentum ETF ............................................................................. $ 19,311 US Small Mid Cap Value Momentum ETF .................................................................. 15,527 International Value Momentum ETF ...................................................................... 14,297 Emerging Markets Value Momentum ETF .................................................................. 6,313 * Includes cumulative appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts as reported on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments.

(25,944) (2,104) Emerging Markets Value Momentum ETF ................................................ (88,456) 9,690 All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on each respective Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The underlying face value of open derivative positions relative to each Fund’s net assets at period end is generally representative of the notional amount of open positions to net assets throughout the period.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 47 (Unaudited) Investment Transactions and Related Income: Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Withholding taxes on interest, dividends, and gains as a result of certain investments by the Funds have been provided for in accordance with each investment’s applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Securities Lending: The Funds, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”), may lend their securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidelines. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Funds’ Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Funds effectively do not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Funds’ Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Funds' securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, a Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. In addition, there is a risk that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. The Funds' agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Funds may not be sold or repledged, except to satisfy borrower default. The following table is a summary of the Funds' securities lending transactions as of December 31, 2022. Value of Securities on Loan Non-Cash Collateral Cash Collateral US Value Momentum ETF .......................................... $ 253,200 $— $ 270,000 US Small Mid Cap Value Momentum ETF ............................... 57,242 — 58,212 International Value Momentum ETF ................................... 1,767,922 — 1,835,252 Emerging Markets Value Momentum ETF ............................... 1,838,888 — 1,928,580 Foreign Currency Translations: The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities of a Fund denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are disclosed as Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investment securities and foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations. Any realized gains or losses from these fluctuations are disclosed as Net realized gains (losses) from investment securities and foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Foreign Taxes: The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. Federal Income Taxes: Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Funds have a tax year end of June 30.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 48 (Unaudited) For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Funds did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions. Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken. Allocations: Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust, or jointly with an affiliated trust, are allocated among the respective funds in the Trust and/or an affiliated trust based upon net assets or another appropriate basis. 3.Purchases and Sales: Purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) and purchases and sales associated with in-kind transactions for the six months ended December 31, 2022, are included in the table below. Any realized gains or losses from in-kind redemptions are reflected on the Statements of Operations as net realized gains (losses) from in kind redemptions.

Risks: The Funds may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks. Equity Risk — The value of the equity securities in which the Funds invest may decline in response to developments affecting individual companies and/or general, economic conditions in the United States or abroad. A company’s earnings or dividends may not increase as expected (or may decline) because of poor management, competitive pressures, reliance on particular suppliers or geographical regions, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures, man-made or natural disasters, military confrontations or wars, terrorism, public health crises, or other events, conditions, and factors. Price changes may be temporary or last for extended periods. Foreign Securities Risk — The Emerging Markets Value Momentum ETF invests in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more of less foreign government regulations, less public information, and less economic, political, and social stability in the countries in which the Funds invest. The imposition of exchange controls, sanctions, confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs), and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments; or problems in shares registration, settlement, or custody also may result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Funds have exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Passive Investment Risk — Each Fund is designed to track its index and is not actively managed. A Fund will not buy or sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected performance of a security, industry or sector, unless that security is added to or removed, respectively, from its index. A Fund does not, therefore, seek returns in excess of its index, and does not attempt to take defensive positions or hedge against potential risks unless such defensive positions are also taken by its index. Different types of investment styles, for example passively managed or actively managed, or growth or value, tend to perform differently and shift into and out of favor with investors depending on changes in market and economic sentiment and conditions. As a result, a Fund’s performance may at times be worse than the performance of other mutual funds that invest more broadly or that have different investment styles. Market Risk — Overall market risks may affect the value of the Funds. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which

Notes to Financial Statements — continued Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 51 (Unaudited) increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods. 7. Borrowing: Line of Credit: The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note “Line of Credit” agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each Fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. Prior to June 28, 2022, interest was based on the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.10 percent. The Funds did not experience a material financial impact transitioning from LIBOR to SOFR. Interest charged to each Fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees. The average borrowing for the days outstanding and average interest rate for each Fund during the six months ended December 31, 2022, were as follows: Amount Outstanding December 31, 2022 Average Borrowing* Days Borrowing Outstanding Average Interest Rate* Maximum Borrowing During the Period Emerging Markets Value Momentum ETF. . . . . . . . . .$— $4,811,871 31 4.79% $20,700,000 * Based on the number of days borrowings were outstanding for the period ended December 31, 2022. 8. Federal Income Tax Information: Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid as noted in the table below. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually from each Fund.

To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Funds may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings (loss) will be determined at the end of the current tax year. As of tax year ended June 30, 2022, the Funds had net capital loss carryforwards as shown in the table below. It is unlikely that the Board will authorize a distribution of capital gains realized in the future until the capital loss carryforwards have been used.

Supplemental Information Victory Portfolios II December 31, 2022 52 (Unaudited) Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information Proxy Voting: Information regarding the policies and procedures each Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling 800-539-3863. The information is also included in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. Information relating to how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments: The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. Expense Examples As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022. The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds. Please note the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Victory Portfolios II 53 (Unaudited) Supplemental Information — continued December 31, 2022 Considerations of the Board in Continuing the Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Agreement”) The Board approved the Agreement on behalf of each of the Funds at a meeting, which was called for that purpose, on December 6, 2022. The Board also considered information relating to the Funds and the Agreement provided throughout the year and, more specifically, at the meetings on October 18, 2022 and December 6, 2022. In considering whether to approve the Agreement, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, information that the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusions. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated this information along with other information obtained throughout the year and was advised by legal counsel to the Funds and independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Board noted that each Fund assumed the performance of its predecessor fund, that the Adviser became the investment adviser to each Fund on February 26, 2019, and that prior to that date each predecessor fund was managed by a different investment adviser. The Board considered each Fund’s advisory fee, expense ratio and investment performance as significant factors in determining whether the Agreement should be continued. In considering whether the compensation paid to the Adviser was fair and reasonable, the Board also evaluated, among other things, the following factors: • The requirements of the Funds for the services provided by the Adviser; • The nature, quality and extent of the services provided and expected to be provided; • The performance of the Funds as compared to comparable funds; • The fees payable for the services and whether the fee arrangements provided for economies of scale that would benefit Fund shareholders as the Funds grow (acknowledging that economies of scale can be complex to assess and typically are not directly measurable); • Whether the fee would be sufficient to enable the Adviser to attract and retain experienced personnel and continue to provide quality services to the Funds; • Fees paid by other clients of the Adviser whose accounts are managed in a similar investment style and any differences in the services provided to the other clients compared to those provided to the Funds; • The total expenses of each Fund; • Management’s commitment to operating the Funds at competitive expense levels; • The profitability of the Adviser (as reflected by comparing fees earned against an estimate of the Adviser’s costs) with respect to the Adviser’s relationship with the Funds; • Research and other service benefits received by the Adviser obtained through payment of client commissions for securities transactions; • Other benefits received by the Adviser, and its affiliates, including revenues paid to the Adviser, or its affiliates, by the Funds for administration and fund accounting services, shareholder services and distribution; • The capabilities and financial condition of the Adviser; • Current economic and industry trends; and • The historical relationship between the Trust and the Adviser. The Board reviewed each Fund’s current management fee in the context of the Adviser’s profitability with respect to each Fund. The Board retained an independent, third-party consultant to provide comparative information about fees, expenses and performance, and to design and maintain a database of relevant information designed to assist the Board in retrieving and analyzing comparative information. The Board met with the consultant to review its inputs and methodologies, among other things. The Board compared each Fund’s gross management fee and total expense ratio on a net and gross basis with the median gross management fee and median expense ratio of a universe of comparable exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) compiled by the consultant and a peer group of funds with similar investment strategies selected by that consultant from the universe. The Board reviewed the factors and methodology used by the consultant in the selection of each Fund’s peer group, including the consultant’s selection of a broad universe of funds, the more specific universe of comparable funds, and peer groups of funds with comparable investment strategies and asset levels, among other factors. The Board noted that none of the advisory fee arrangements for the Funds included breakpoints, which would be a structure that results in reduced fees as a fund grows. The Board also considered the Adviser’s commitment to limit expenses as discussed in more detail below. The Board also reviewed the compliance and administrative services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Adviser’s oversight of the Funds’ day-to-day operations and oversight of Fund accounting, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, and other services necessary for the operation of the Funds and the Trust. The Board found that the gross annual management fee paid by each Fund was within the range of management fees paid by each Fund’s respective peer group. The Board also found that each Fund’s net annual expense ratio was reasonable as compared with each Fund’s respective peer group. The Board considered the Adviser’s contractual agreement with each Fund to waive its fees and reimburse expenses for a specified period of time, as described in the Fund’s prospectus. The Board reviewed each Fund’s performance over the one- and three-year periods against the performance of the Fund’s selected peer group and benchmark index, noting that each Fund’s investment objective is to track its benchmark index before fees and expenses. The Board recognized that the performance of each Fund is net of expenses, while the performance of each benchmark index reflects gross returns, and as

The Board also considered each Fund’s tracking error as a factor in evaluating performance. The Board reviewed various other specific factors with respect to each Fund, as described below. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not rank the importance of any particular information or factor considered and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors. > VictoryShares US Value Momentum ETF Noting that the Fund commenced operations in 2017, the Board compared the Fund’s one-year and three-year performance for the periods ended June 30, 2022, to that of the median performance of the Fund’s peer group and benchmark index for the same periods and considered the fact that the Fund outperformed the benchmark index for the one-year period, underperformed the benchmark index for the three-year period, and underperformed the peer group median for both of the periods reviewed. The Board noted the Fund’s tracking error for the periods relative to its peers. Having considered, among other things: (1) the Fund’s management fee compared to comparable ETFs; (2) the Fund’s total expense ratio compared to comparable ETFs; (3) that the Adviser’s willingness to limit the expenses for a period of time would provide stability to the Fund’s expenses during that period; and (4) that the Fund’s performance in relation to its benchmark index and peer group was within an acceptable range, the Board concluded that the Agreement continued to be in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders.

Conclusion: Based on its review of the information requested and provided, and following extended discussions, the Board determined that the Agreement, on behalf of the Funds discussed above, was consistent with the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders, and the Board unanimously approved the Agreement, on behalf of each Fund, for an additional annual period on the basis of the foregoing review and discussions and the following considerations, among others: • The fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fee payable to the Adviser under the Agreement in light of the investment advisory services provided, the costs of these services, the profitability of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund and the comparability of the fee paid to the fees paid by other investment companies, to the extent applicable; • The nature, quality and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser;
