    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    

T. Rowe Price Exchange-Traded Funds, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The International Equity Research ETF (the fund) is a diversified, open-end management investment company established by the corporation. The fund incepted on June 25, 2025.  The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
NOTE  1    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation
The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 (ASC 946). The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), including, but not limited to, ASC 946. GAAP requires the use of estimates made by management. Management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately realized upon sale or maturity.
Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date basis. Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Income tax-related interest and penalties, if incurred, are recorded as income tax expense. Dividends received from other investment companies are reflected as dividend income; capital gain distributions are reflected as realized gain/loss. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the asset received. Proceeds from litigation payments, if any, are included in either net realized gain (loss) or change in net unrealized gain/loss from securities. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. A capital gain distribution, if any, may also be declared and paid by the fund annually. Dividends and distributions cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund.
24

T. ROWE PRICE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH ETF

Currency Translation
Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate, using the mean of the bid and asked prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars as provided by an outside pricing service. Purchases and sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective date of such transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and losses is not bifurcated from the portion attributable to changes in market prices.
Capital Transactions
The fund issues and redeems shares at its net asset value (NAV) only with Authorized Participants and only in large blocks of 50,000 shares (each, a “Creation Unit”). The fund’s NAV per share is computed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4 p.m. Eastern time, each day the NYSE is open for business. However, the NAV per share may be calculated at a time other than the normal close of the NYSE if trading on the NYSE is restricted, if the NYSE closes earlier, or as may be permitted by the SEC. Individual fund shares may not be purchased or redeemed directly with the fund. An Authorized Participant may purchase or redeem a Creation Unit of the fund each business day that the fund is open in exchange for the delivery of a designated portfolio of in-kind securities and/or cash. When purchasing or redeeming Creation Units, Authorized Participants are also required to pay a fixed and/or variable purchase or redemption transaction fee as well as any applicable additional variable charge to defray the transaction cost to a fund.
Individual fund shares may be purchased and sold only on a national securities exchange through brokers. Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. and because the shares will trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at prices greater than NAV (at a premium), at NAV, or less than NAV (at a discount).
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the fund may provide indemnification in connection with its officers and directors, service providers, and/or private company investments. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the risk of material loss is currently considered to be remote.

T. ROWE PRICE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH ETF

NOTE  2    VALUATION
Fair Value
The fund’s financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines 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 fund’s Board of Directors (the Board) has designated T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. as the fund’s valuation designee (Valuation Designee). Subject to oversight by the Board, the Valuation Designee performs the following functions in performing fair value determinations: assesses and manages valuation risks; establishes and applies fair value methodologies; tests fair value methodologies; and evaluates pricing vendors and pricing agents. The duties and responsibilities of the Valuation Designee are performed by its Valuation Committee. The Valuation Designee provides periodic reporting to the Board on valuation matters.
Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1  –  quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the fund can access at the reporting date
Level 2  –  inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads)
Level 3  –  unobservable inputs (including the Valuation Designee’s assumptions in determining fair value)
Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial
26

T. ROWE PRICE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH ETF

instrument. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values.
Valuation Techniques
Equity securities, including exchange-traded funds, listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange or in the over-the-counter (OTC) market are valued at the last quoted sale price or, for certain markets, the official closing price at the time the valuations are made. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Listed securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices for domestic securities and the last quoted sale or closing price for international securities.
The last quoted prices of non-U.S. equity securities may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of such securities at the close of the NYSE, if the Valuation Designee determines that developments between the close of a foreign market and the close of the NYSE will affect the value of some or all of the fund's portfolio securities. Each business day, the Valuation Designee uses information from outside pricing services to evaluate the quoted prices of portfolio securities and, if appropriate, decides whether it is necessary to adjust quoted prices to reflect fair value by reviewing a variety of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. The Valuation Designee uses outside pricing services to provide it with quoted prices and information to evaluate or adjust those prices. The Valuation Designee cannot predict how often it will use quoted prices or how often it will determine it necessary to adjust those prices to reflect fair value.
Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund’s closing NAV per share on the day of valuation. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued using the prevailing forward exchange rate. Assets and liabilities other than financial instruments, including short-term receivables and payables, are carried at cost, or estimated realizable value, if less, which approximates fair value.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee. The Valuation Designee has adopted methodologies for determining the fair value of investments for which market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, including the use of other pricing sources. Factors used in determining fair value vary by type of investment and may include market or investment specific considerations. The Valuation Designee typically will afford the
27

T. ROWE PRICE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH ETF

greatest weight to actual prices in arm’s length transactions, to the extent they represent orderly transactions between market participants, transaction information can be reliably obtained, and prices are deemed representative of fair value. However, the Valuation Designee may also consider other valuation methods such as market-based valuation multiples; a discount or premium from market value of a similar, freely traded security of the same issuer; discounted cash flows; yield to maturity; or some combination. Fair value determinations are reviewed on a regular basis. Because any fair value determination involves a significant amount of judgment, there is a degree of subjectivity inherent in such pricing decisions. Fair value prices determined by the Valuation Designee could differ from those of other market participants, and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security.

NOTE  3    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
During the six months ended April 30, 2026, the fund invested in derivative instruments. As defined by GAAP, a derivative is a financial instrument whose value is derived from an underlying security price, foreign exchange rate, interest
28

T. ROWE PRICE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH ETF

rate, index of prices or rates, or other variable; it requires little or no initial investment and permits or requires net settlement or delivery of cash or other assets. The fund invests in derivatives only if the expected risks and rewards are consistent with its investment objectives, policies, and overall risk profile, as described in its prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The fund may use derivatives for a variety of purposes and may use them to establish both long and short positions within the fund’s portfolio. Potential uses include to hedge against declines in principal value, increase yield, invest in an asset with greater efficiency and at a lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to enhance return, or to adjust credit exposure. The risks associated with the use of derivatives are different from, and potentially much greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the instruments on which the derivatives are based.
The fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value currently in its results of operations. Accordingly, the fund does not follow hedge accounting, even for derivatives employed as economic hedges. Generally, the fund accounts for its derivatives on a gross basis. It does not offset the fair value of derivative liabilities against the fair value of derivative assets on its financial statements, nor does it offset the fair value of derivative instruments against the right to reclaim or obligation to return collateral. The following table summarizes the fair value of the fund’s derivative instruments held as of April 30, 2026, and the related location on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:
($000s) Location on Statement of

During the six months ended April 30, 2026, the fund recognized no gains or losses on derivative instruments.
Counterparty Risk and Collateral
The fund invests in derivatives, such as non-cleared bilateral swaps, forward currency exchange contracts, and/or OTC options, that are transacted and settle directly with a counterparty (bilateral derivatives), and thereby may expose the fund to counterparty risk. To mitigate this risk, the fund has entered into master
29

T. ROWE PRICE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH ETF

netting arrangements (MNAs) with certain counterparties that permit net settlement under specified conditions and, for certain counterparties, also require the exchange of collateral to cover mark-to-market exposure. MNAs may be in the form of International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements (ISDAs), with a Credit Support Annex (CSA), if any, that governs the collateralization process, or foreign exchange letter agreements (FX letters).
MNAs govern the ability to offset amounts the fund owes a counterparty against amounts the counterparty owes the fund (net settlement). Both ISDAs and FX letters generally allow termination of transactions and net settlement upon the occurrence of contractually specified events, such as failure to pay or bankruptcy. In addition, ISDAs specify other events, such as Additional Termination Events, the occurrence of which would allow one of the parties to terminate. For example, a downgrade in credit rating of a counterparty below a specified rating would allow the fund to terminate, while a decline in the fund’s net assets of more than a specified percentage would allow the counterparty to terminate. Upon termination, all transactions with that counterparty would be liquidated and a net termination amount determined. ISDAs typically include collateral agreements, such as a CSA, whereas FX letters do not. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on all bilateral derivatives with each counterparty, subject to minimum transfer amounts that typically range from $100,000 to $250,000. Any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is typically transferred the next business day.
Collateral may be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies, although other securities may be used depending on the terms outlined in the applicable MNA. Cash posted by the fund is reflected as cash deposits in the accompanying financial statements and generally is restricted from withdrawal by the fund; securities posted by the fund are so noted in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments; both remain in the fund’s assets. Collateral pledged by counterparties is not included in the fund’s assets because the fund does not obtain effective control over those assets. For bilateral derivatives, collateral posted or received by the fund is held in a segregated account at the fund’s custodian. While typically not sold in the same manner as equity or fixed income securities, OTC and bilateral derivatives may be unwound with counterparties or transactions assigned to other counterparties to allow the fund to exit the transaction. This ability is subject to the liquidity of underlying positions. As of April 30, 2026, no collateral was pledged by either the fund or counterparties for bilateral derivatives.

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts
The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. It may use forward currency exchange contracts (forwards) primarily to protect its non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities from adverse currency movements or to increase exposure to a particular foreign currency, to shift the fund’s foreign currency exposure from one country to another, or to enhance the fund’s return.  A forward involves an obligation to purchase or sell a fixed amount of a specific currency on a future date at a price set at the time of the contract. Although certain forwards may be settled by exchanging only the net gain or loss on the contract, most forwards are settled with the exchange of the underlying currencies in accordance with the specified terms. Forwards are valued at the unrealized gain or loss on the contract, which reflects the net amount the fund either is entitled to receive or obligated to deliver, as measured by the difference between the forward exchange rates at the date of entry into the contract and the forward rates at the reporting date. Appreciated forwards are reflected as assets and depreciated forwards are reflected as liabilities on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded on the accompanying Statement of Operations. Risks related to the use of forwards include the possible failure of counterparties to meet the terms of the agreements; that anticipated currency movements will not occur, thereby reducing the fund’s total return; and the potential for losses in excess of the fund’s initial investment. During the six months ended April 30, 2026, the volume of the fund’s activity in forwards, based on underlying notional amounts, was generally between 0% and 3% of net assets.
NOTE  4    OTHER INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following practices to manage exposure to certain risks and/or to enhance performance. The investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the fund are described more fully in the fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
Emerging and Frontier Markets
The fund invests, either directly or through investments in other T. Rowe Price funds, in securities of companies located in, issued by governments of, or denominated in or linked to the currencies of emerging and frontier market countries. Emerging markets, and to a greater extent frontier markets, tend to have economic structures that are less diverse and mature, less developed legal and regulatory regimes, and political systems that are less stable, than those of
31

T. ROWE PRICE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH ETF

developed countries. These markets may be subject to greater political, economic, and social uncertainty and differing accounting standards and regulatory environments that may potentially impact the fund’s ability to buy or sell certain securities or repatriate proceeds to U.S. dollars. Emerging markets securities exchanges are more likely to experience delays with the clearing and settling of trades, as well as the custody of holdings by local banks, agents, and depositories. Such securities are often subject to greater price volatility, less liquidity, and higher rates of inflation than U.S. securities. Investing in frontier markets is typically significantly riskier than investing in other countries, including emerging markets.
Restricted Securities
The fund invests in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Prompt sale of such securities at an acceptable price may be difficult and may involve substantial delays and additional costs.
Securities Lending
The fund may lend its securities to approved borrowers to earn additional income. Its securities lending activities are administered by a lending agent in accordance with a securities lending agreement. Security loans generally do not have stated maturity dates, and the fund may recall a security at any time. The fund receives collateral in the form of cash or U.S. government securities. Collateral is maintained over the life of the loan in an amount not less than the value of loaned securities; any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is delivered to the fund the next business day. Cash collateral is invested in accordance with investment guidelines approved by fund management. Additionally, the lending agent indemnifies the fund against losses resulting from borrower default. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral and indemnification, the fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and a possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the securities, collateral investments decline in value, and the lending agent fails to perform. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold, re-invested or pledged by the fund, except in the event of borrower default. Securities lending revenue consists of earnings on invested collateral and borrowing fees, net of any rebates to the borrower, compensation to the lending agent, and other administrative costs. In accordance with GAAP, investments made with cash collateral are reflected in the accompanying financial statements, but collateral received in the form of securities is not. At April 30, 2026, the value of loaned securities was $562,000; the aggregate value of collateral was $580,000 and consisted of cash collateral and related investments of $164,000 and U.S. government securities of $416,000.

Other
Purchases and sales of portfolio securities excluding in-kind transactions and short-term securities aggregated $9,470,000 and $6,072,000, respectively, for the six months ended April 30, 2026. Portfolio securities received and delivered through in-kind transactions aggregated $10,444,000 and $2,588,000, respectively, for the six months ended April 30, 2026.
NOTE  5    FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Generally, no provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. Distributions determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are not adjusted for temporary differences. The amount and character of tax-basis distributions and composition of net assets are finalized at fiscal year-end; accordingly, tax-basis balances have not been determined as of the date of this report.
The fund intends to retain realized gains to the extent of available capital loss carryforwards. Net realized capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future realized capital gains. As of October 31, 2025, the fund had $12,000 of available capital loss carryforwards.
At April 30, 2026, the cost of investments (including derivatives, if any) for federal income tax purposes was $24,528,000. Net unrealized gain aggregated $3,243,000 at period-end, of which $4,317,000 related to appreciated investments and $1,074,000 related to depreciated investments.
NOTE  6  –   FOREIGN TAXES
The fund is subject to foreign income taxes imposed by certain countries in which it invests. Additionally, capital gains realized upon disposition of securities issued in or by certain foreign countries are subject to capital gains tax imposed by those countries. All taxes are computed in accordance with the applicable foreign tax law, and, to the extent permitted, capital losses are used to offset capital gains. Taxes attributable to income are accrued by the fund as a reduction of income.
33

T. ROWE PRICE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH ETF

Current and deferred tax expense attributable to capital gains is reflected as a component of realized or change in unrealized gain/loss on securities in the accompanying financial statements. To the extent that the fund has country specific capital loss carryforwards, such carryforwards are applied against net unrealized gains when determining the deferred tax liability. Any deferred tax liability incurred by the fund is included in either Other liabilities or Deferred tax liability on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
NOTE  7  –   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (Price Group). Price Associates has entered into a sub-advisory agreement(s) with one or more of its wholly owned subsidiaries, to provide investment advisory services to the fund. The investment management agreement between the fund and Price Associates provides for an annual all-inclusive fee equal to 0.38% of the fund’s average daily net assets. The fee is computed daily and paid monthly. The all-inclusive fee covers investment management services and ordinary, recurring operating expenses but does not cover interest and borrowing expenses; taxes; brokerage commissions and other transaction costs; fund proxy expenses; and nonrecurring and extraordinary expenses. All costs related to organization and offering of the fund are borne by Price Associates.
T. Rowe Price Investment Services, Inc. (Investment Services) serves as distributor to the fund. Pursuant to an underwriting agreement, no compensation for any distribution services provided is paid to Investment Services by the fund.
Effective November 12, 2025, cash collateral from securities lending, if any, is invested in the T. Rowe Price Treasury Reserve Fund (the Price Reserve Fund), a money market fund offered as a short-term investment option to mutual funds, trusts, and other accounts managed by Price Associates or its affiliates and is not available for direct purchase by members of the public. Prior to November 12, 2025, cash collateral from securities lending, if any, was invested in the T. Rowe Price Government Reserve Fund. The Price Reserve Fund does not pay investment management fees.
As of April 30, 2026, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., or its wholly owned subsidiaries, owned 550,000 shares of the fund, representing 61% of the fund’s net assets.
34

T. ROWE PRICE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH ETF

The fund may participate in securities purchase and sale transactions with other funds or accounts advised by Price Associates (cross trades), in accordance with procedures adopted by the fund’s Board and Securities and Exchange Commission rules, which require, among other things, that such purchase and sale cross trades be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the six months ended April 30, 2026, the fund had no purchases or sales cross trades with other funds or accounts advised by Price Associates.
NOTE  8  –   SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments are defined as components of a company that engage in business activities and for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Management Committee of Price Group acts as the fund’s CODM. The fund makes investments in accordance with its investment objective as outlined in the Prospectus and is considered one reportable segment because the CODM allocates resources and assesses the operating results of the fund on the whole.
The fund’s revenue is derived from investments in a portfolio of securities. The CODM allocates resources and assesses performance based on the operating results of the fund, which is consistent with the results presented in the statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights. The CODM compares the fund’s performance to its benchmark index and evaluates the positioning of the fund in relation to its investment objective. The measure of segment assets is net assets of the fund which is disclosed in the statement of assets and liabilities.
The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The financial statements include all details of the segment assets, segment revenue and expenses; and reflect the financial results of the segment.
NOTE  9  –   OTHER MATTERS
Unpredictable environmental, political, social and economic events, including but not limited to, environmental or natural disasters, war and conflict, terrorism, geopolitical and regulatory developments (including trading and tariff arrangements), and public health epidemics or threats, may significantly affect the
35

T. ROWE PRICE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH ETF

economy and the markets and issuers in which a fund invests. The extent and duration of such events and resulting market disruptions cannot be predicted. These and other similar events may cause instability across global markets, including reduced liquidity and disruptions in trading markets, while some events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors, and industries more significantly than others, and exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, and economic risks. The fund’s performance could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by these or such events.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS
Each year, the fund’s Board of Directors (Board) considers the continuation of the investment management agreement (Advisory Contract) between the fund and its investment adviser, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Adviser), as well as the investment subadvisory agreements (Subadvisory Contracts) that the Adviser has entered into with T. Rowe Price International Ltd, T. Rowe Price Hong Kong Limited, and T. Rowe Price Singapore Private Ltd. (Subadvisers) on behalf of the fund.  In that regard, at a meeting held on March 11-12, 2026 (Meeting), the Board, including all of the fund’s independent directors who were present in person at the Meeting, approved the continuation of the fund’s Advisory Contract and Subadvisory Contracts.  At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of the Adviser and Subadvisers and the approval of the Advisory Contract and Subadvisory Contracts.  The independent directors were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Contract and Subadvisory Contracts by independent legal counsel from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, the Adviser was guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted by independent legal counsel on behalf of the independent directors. In considering and approving the continuation of the Advisory Contract and Subadvisory Contracts, the Board considered the information it believed was relevant, including, but not limited to, the information discussed below.  The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with the Adviser and Subadvisers about various topics and information provided to it by the Adviser. The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the T. Rowe Price funds’ advisory contracts, including performance and the services and support provided to the funds and their shareholders.
Services Provided by the Adviser and Subadvisers
The Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the fund by the Adviser and Subadvisers.  These services include, but are not limited to, directing the fund’s investments in accordance with its investment program and the overall management of the fund’s portfolio, as well as a variety of related activities such as financial, investment operations, and administrative services; compliance and infrastructure, as well as compliance with new and evolving regulatory requirements (e.g., derivatives and liquidity risk management); maintaining the fund’s records and registrations; and shareholder communications. The Board also reviewed the background and experience of the Adviser’s and Subadvisers’ senior management teams and investment personnel involved in the management of the fund, as well as the Adviser’s compliance record. The Board concluded that the information it
37

T. ROWE PRICE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH ETF

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS (continued)
considered with respect to the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided by the Adviser and Subadvisers, as well as the other factors considered at the Meeting, supported the Board’s approval of the continuation of the Advisory Contract and Subadvisory Contracts.
Investment Performance of the Fund
The Board took into account discussions with the Adviser and detailed reports that it regularly receives throughout the year on relative and absolute performance for the T. Rowe Price funds.  In connection with the Meeting, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser that compared the fund’s total returns, as well as a wide variety of other previously agreed-upon performance measures and market data, against relevant benchmark indexes and (as applicable) peer groups of funds with similar investment programs for various periods through December 31, 2025, although the Board noted that the fund only recently incepted in June 2025. Given the fund’s limited operating history, the Board concluded that the information it considered with respect to the fund’s performance, as well as the other factors considered at the Meeting, supported the Board’s approval of the continuation of the Advisory Contract and Subadvisory Contracts.
In the course of its deliberations, the Board considered performance information provided throughout the year and in connection with the Advisory Contract review at the Meeting, as well as information provided during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio managers and senior investment personnel during the course of the year regarding the fund’s performance.  The Board also considered relevant factors, such as overall market conditions and trends that could adversely impact the fund’s performance, length of the fund’s performance track record, and how closely the fund’s strategies align with its benchmarks and peer groups.  The Board concluded that the information it considered with respect to the fund’s performance, as well as the other factors considered at the Meeting, supported the Board’s approval of the continuation of the Advisory Contract.
Costs, Benefits, Profits and Economies of Scale
The Board reviewed detailed information regarding the revenues received by the Adviser under the Advisory Contract and other direct and indirect benefits that the Adviser (and its affiliates, including the Subadvisers) may have realized from its relationship with the fund.  In considering soft-dollar arrangements, the Board noted that the Adviser may use brokerage commissions in connection with certain T. Rowe Price funds’ securities transactions to pay for research when permissible, and the Board considered that the Adviser may receive some benefit from soft-dollar arrangements pursuant to which research is received from broker-dealers that execute the applicable fund’s portfolio transactions.
38

T. ROWE PRICE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH ETF

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS (continued)
The Board received information on the estimated costs incurred and profits realized by the Adviser from managing the T. Rowe Price funds. While the Board did not review information regarding profits realized from managing the fund in particular because the fund had either not achieved sufficient portfolio asset size or the Adviser had not recognized sufficient revenues to produce meaningful profit margin percentages, the Board concluded that the Adviser’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the T. Rowe Price mutual funds and ETFs.
The Board also considered whether the fund benefits under the fee levels set forth in the Advisory Contract or otherwise from any economies of scale potentially realized by the Adviser.  Under the Advisory Contract, the fund pays the Adviser an all-inclusive fee, which is based on the fund’s average daily net assets. The all-inclusive fee includes investment management services and provides for the Adviser to pay all of the fund’s ordinary, recurring operating expenses except for interest and borrowing expenses, taxes, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, fund proxy expenses, and any nonrecurring extraordinary expenses that may arise. Under each Subadvisory Contract, the Adviser may pay the Subadviser up to 60% of the advisory fees that the Adviser receives from the fund. The Adviser has generally implemented an all-inclusive fee structure in situations where a fixed total expense ratio is useful for purposes of providing certainty of fees and expenses for the fund’s investors and such a fee structure is typically used by other ETFs offered by competitors. The all-inclusive fee rate is determined based upon an evaluation of the particular strategy and a competitive analysis of the actively managed ETF industry. In addition, the assets of the fund are included in the calculation of the group fee rate, which serves as a component of the management fee rate for many T. Rowe Price mutual funds and declines at certain asset levels based on the combined average net assets of most of the T. Rowe Price mutual funds and ETFs (including the fund).  Although the fund does not have a group fee rate component to its all-inclusive fee, its assets are included in the calculation because certain resources utilized to operate the fund are shared with other T. Rowe Price funds.
In addition, the Board noted that the fund potentially shares in potential economies of scale through the Adviser’s ongoing investments in its business in support of the T. Rowe Price funds, including investments in trading systems, technology, and regulatory support enhancements, and the ability to possibly negotiate lower fee arrangements with third-party service providers.  The Board concluded that the all-inclusive fee structure for the fund provides for a reasonable sharing of benefits from potential economies of scale with the fund and its investors.
Fees and Expenses
39

T. ROWE PRICE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH ETF

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS (continued)
The Board was provided with information regarding industry trends in exchange-traded fund fees.  The Board reviewed and considered information regarding the fund’s actual total expense ratio, noting that the fund pays an all-inclusive fee. Among other things, the Board reviewed data for peer groups that were compiled by Broadridge, which compared: (i) actual management fees and total expenses of the fund with a group of competitor funds selected by Broadridge (Expense Group); and (ii) actual management fees and total expenses of the fund with a broader set of funds within the Lipper investment classification (Expense Universe). The Board considered the fund’s actual management fee rate and total expenses (each of which generally reflect the fund’s all-inclusive fee rate) in comparison with the information for the Broadridge peer groups. Broadridge generally constructed the peer groups by seeking the most comparable actively managed exchange-traded funds based on similar investment classifications and objectives, expense structure, asset size, and operating components and attributes and ranked funds into quintiles, with the first quintile representing the funds with the lowest relative expenses and the fifth quintile representing the funds with the highest relative expenses.  The information provided to the Board indicated that the actual management fee rate ranked in the first quintile (Expense Group and Expense Universe) and the total expenses ranked in the first quintile (Expense Group) and second quintile (Expense Universe).
The Board was provided the fee schedules and other account fee information for certain comparable investment portfolios that are advised or subadvised by the Adviser and its affiliates, including separately managed accounts for institutional investors; subadvised funds; and other sponsored investment portfolios that are not registered investment companies, including collective investment trusts and pooled vehicles organized and offered to investors outside the United States. The fee schedules and account fee information, which are subject to change, may be negotiated under certain circumstances and may differ across regions. Management provided the Board with information about the Adviser’s responsibilities and services provided to subadvisory clients and other types of clients, including information about how the requirements, economics and risks of the domestic and international businesses may differ from those of the proprietary mutual fund and ETF (“registered fund”) business.  The Board considered information showing that the Adviser’s proprietary registered fund business is generally more complex from a business and regulatory perspective than its other domestic and international businesses and considered various relevant factors, such as the broader scope of operations and oversight, more extensive shareholder communication infrastructure, heightened business risks, and differences in applicable laws and regulations associated with the Adviser’s proprietary registered fund business.  In assessing the reasonableness of the fund’s management fee rate, the Board considered the differences in the nature of the services required for the Adviser to manage its registered fund business versus
40

T. ROWE PRICE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH ETF

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS (continued)
managing a discrete pool of assets as a subadviser to another institution’s mutual fund or for an institutional account and that the Adviser generally performs significant additional services and assumes greater risk in managing the fund and other T. Rowe Price funds than it does for institutional account clients, including subadvised funds.
On the basis of the information provided and the factors considered, the Board concluded that the fees paid by the fund under the Advisory Contract are reasonable.
Approval of the Advisory Contract and Subadvisory Contracts
As noted, the Board approved the continuation of the Advisory Contract and Subadvisory Contracts.  No single factor was considered in isolation or to be determinative to the decision.  Rather, the Board concluded, in light of a weighting and balancing of all factors considered, that it was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders for the Board to approve the continuation of the Advisory Contract and Subadvisory Contracts (including the fees to be charged for services thereunder).
