YOUR VOTE IS NEEDED The Special Meeting has been adjourned to March 27, 2026 because the required vote has not yet been obtained. Every vote counts, even if you own just a few shares.

 

WHAT’S HAPPENING

Goldman Sachs has agreed to acquire Innovator Capital Management, the investment adviser to your fund. Under federal securities law, this requires shareholder approval of a new advisory agreement. The approval of the new advisory agreement is a necessary step to ensure uninterrupted management of your fund. Additionally, fourteen highly qualified Trustees have been nominated for election to the Boad of Trustees of the Trust.

NOTHING CHANGES ABOUT YOUR FUND ✓ Same investment strategy and objectives ✓ Same portfolio managers and advisory team ✓ Same management fees ✓ Same shares. Your holdings are not affected. The Board of Trustees unanimously recommends you vote FOR both proposals.

WHY YOUR VOTE MATTERS

Without enough votes, the meeting must continue to be adjourned, delaying the closing of the transaction and the additional resources Goldman Sachs intends to devote to your fund. A quick vote today helps move things forward for all shareholders.

Thank you for your investment in the Innovator ETFs.

Sincerely,

 

 

H. Bruce Bond

Chief Executive Officer, Innovator Capital Management, LLC
