Subject: Shareholder Vote Required

Dear Shareholder,

We are writing to inform you of an upcoming shareholder vote that requires your attention. Your participation is important to ensure that your interests are represented and that the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF (the “EM Equity ETF”) can move forward on key matters. Please note, this meeting is being adjourned to allow additional time to secure the shareholder votes that are required to meet quorum.

The Board of Trustees has approved a change to EM Equity ETF’s sub-classification under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended to a “non-diversified” company and to eliminate any related fundamental investment restriction.

 

  •  

Changing the status to non-diversified would provide Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P., the Fund’s investment adviser, with enhanced flexibility to invest a greater portion of the Fund’s assets in individual issuers.

 

  •  

Shareholders may benefit from the flexibility afforded to non-diversified funds to place additional investments in certain issuers.

 

  •  

More details are included in the Joint Proxy Statement located on www.proxyvote.com.

Meeting Date: Adjourned to November 17, 2026, at 11:00 a.m., ET

Action Needed: Please submit your vote on or before 5 p.m. ET November 16, 2026, by one of the following methods:

 

  •

  •  

Call: 1-833-481-3482 and speak to a live representative. Or call the number located on your ballot (with a touch-tone phone to vote using an automated system)

 

  •  

Mail: Mark, sign and date the enclosed ballot and mail in the envelope provided

Why Your Vote Matters

If shareholders do not vote, we may need to incur additional costs to continue soliciting votes. Your prompt vote helps us avoid these additional expenses and ensures that your views are represented in this important decision.

Thank you for your continued support of the Funds and your participation in this important vote.

Sincerely,

Goldman Sachs
