MATTHEWS EMERGING MARKETS EX CHINA ACTIVE ETF SHAREHOLDERS

YOUR PARTICIPATION IS CRITICAL—PLEASE VOTE TODAY

June 17, 2026

Dear Shareholder:

We are contacting you because we have not yet received your voting instructions for the upcoming Special Meeting of Shareholders, which includes the Matthews Emerging Markets ex China Active ETF.

While most other Matthews Asia Funds have received sufficient shareholder participation to proceed with the important business of the Funds, the Matthews Emerging Markets ex China Active ETF has not yet achieved the required level of voting participation. As a result, the Board may be required to consider liquidation of the Fund if sufficient shareholder responses are not received.

A liquidation of the Fund could result in a taxable event for shareholders.

Your vote is critical. If you do not provide your proxy vote promptly, the Matthews Emerging Markets ex China Active ETF may be unable to continue operating. Importantly, any vote counts, including a vote of “ABSTAIN.”

Please submit your voting instructions using one of the voting methods provided on the enclosed ballot.

Thank you for your prompt attention and participation.

Sincerely,

Mark W. Headley

President of Matthews Asia Funds

Important Reminder—Your Vote is Needed

Dear Valued Shareholder,

This additional communication is being sent to obtain your proxy vote for the Special Meeting of Matthews Asia Funds. As of this mailing, we have not yet received your vote.

To proceed with the meeting, participation from shareholders representing a majority of outstanding shares is required. Your participation is essential.

If shareholders do not approve a New Agreement for each Fund, Matthews will no longer be authorized to serve as the Fund’s investment adviser. In that event, the Board would need to consider alternative arrangements for the Funds.

Shareholders who have already voted have overwhelmingly supported the proposal. However, it is still critical that we achieve sufficient shareholder participation to establish a quorum and conduct the meeting.

Please Provide Your Voting Instructions Today
