A video message with the following script is expected to be used by KraneShares Trust as part of a SMS campaign to solicit votes in connection with its joint special meeting of shareholders.

 

“Hello, I’m Jonathan Krane, CEO of KraneShares. Thank you for your investment and for the trust you’ve placed in our company.

 

Today, I’m asking for your support on an important and straightforward matter. As part of a change in ownership of our firm, shareholders are being asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement.

 

Importantly, nothing about your investment is changing. Your Fund’s investment objectives, fees, and portfolio management team all remain the same. This vote simply allows us to continue managing your investment and delivering the strategies you’ve entrusted us with.

 

Your vote matters. Because approval requires a majority of all outstanding shares as of the record date.

 

The good news is that voting is quick and easy. You can vote online, by phone, or by completing and returning your proxy card. If you have any questions or would like assistance, our proxy solicitor, Alliance Advisors, is ready to help make the process as simple as possible.

 

Thank you again for your continued confidence in KraneShares and for taking a few moments to cast your vote. I really appreciate it.”
