PLEASE VOTE NOW Special Meeting adjourned to June 5, 2026 If you don’t vote, the fund may not reach quorum and could be forced to liquidate.

GOLDMAN ACQUIRED INNOVATOR

Goldman Sachs has acquired Innovator Capital Management, the investment adviser to your ETF. Your ETF still needs to approve a new advisory agreement as part of this change. Your vote is a simple way to help us keep your funds management in place without interruption.

 

YOUR VOTE MATTERS AND WILL HELP AVOID FUND LIQUIDATIONS

Your vote is essential—the Special Meeting for your ETF has adjourned, which delays completion of the process and the additional resources Goldman Sachs intends to devote to your fund. Unfortunately, if the proposal is not approved, the Fund may be required to liquidate. If the Fund liquidates, it may result in a taxable event for shareholders which we are working to avoid.

 

VOTE NOW. IT TAKES LESS THAN 1 MINUTE.
