LITMAN GREGORY FUNDS TRUST

DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING PLAN

(12b-1 Plan)

The following Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), by Litman Gregory Funds Trust f/k/a The Masters’ Select Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, on behalf of the Funds listed on Appendix B (the “Funds”), each a series of the Trust. The Plan has been approved by a majority of the Trust’s Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Act, and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan or in any Rule 12b-1 Agreement (as defined below) (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such Plan.

In approving the Plan, the Board of Trustees determined that adoption of the Plan would be prudent and in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. Such approval by the Board of Trustees included a determination, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment and in light of its fiduciary duties, that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit each Fund and the shareholders of each class of shares covered by the Plan (the “Covered Shares”).

The provisions of the Plan are as follows:

1. PAYMENTS BY THE FUND TO PROMOTE THE SALE OF FUND SHARES

The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, will pay ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), as principal distributor of the Fund’s shares, a distribution and shareholder servicing fee as shown on Appendix B in connection with the promotion and distribution of Fund shares and the provision of personal services to shareholders, including, but not necessarily limited to, advertising, compensation to underwriters, dealers and selling personnel, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other than current Fund shareholders, and the printing and mailing of sales literature. The Distributor may pay all or a portion of these fees to any registered securities dealer, financial institution or any other person (the “Recipient”) who renders assistance in distributing or promoting the sale of shares, or who provides certain shareholder services, pursuant to a written agreement (the “Rule 12b-1 Agreement”), a form of which is attached hereto as Appendix A with respect to the Fund. To the extent not so paid by the Distributor such amounts may be retained by the Distributor. Payment of these fees shall be made monthly promptly following the close of the month.

2. RULE 12B-1 AGREEMENTS

(a) No Rule 12b-1 Agreement shall be entered into with respect to a Fund and no payments shall be made pursuant to any Rule 12b-1 Agreement, unless such Rule 12b-1 Agreement is in writing and the form of which has first been delivered to and approved by a vote of a majority of the Trust’s Board of Trustees, and of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at

a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such Rule 12b-1 Agreement. The form of Rule 12b-1 Agreement relating to the Fund attached hereto as Appendix A has been approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees as specified above.

(b) Any Rule 12b-1 Agreement shall describe the services to be performed by the Recipient and shall specify the amount of, or the method for determining, the compensation to the Recipient.

(c) No Rule 12b-1 Agreement may be entered into unless it provides (i) that it may be terminated with respect to each Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by vote of a majority of the shareholders of each Fund’s Covered Shares, or by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees, on not more than 60 days’ written notice to the other party to the Rule 12b-1 Agreement, and (ii) that it shall automatically terminate in the event of its assignment (as defined in the Act and related rules and Securities and Exchange Commission interpretations thereof).

(d) Any Rule 12b-1 Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of more than one year from the date of its execution only if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees, and of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such Rule 12b-1 Agreement.

3. QUARTERLY REPORTS

The Distributor shall provide to the Board of Trustees, and the Trustees shall review at least quarterly, a written report of all amounts expended pursuant to the Plan. This report shall include the identity of the Recipient of each payment and the purpose for which the amounts were expended and such other information as the Board of Trustees may reasonably request.

4. EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION OF THE PLAN

The Plan shall become effective immediately upon approval by the vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees, and of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the approval of the Plan. The Plan shall continue in effect with respect to the Fund for a period of one year from its effective date unless terminated pursuant to its terms. Thereafter, the Plan shall continue with respect to the Fund from year to year, provided that such continuance is approved at least annually by a vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees, and of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such continuance. The Plan, or any Rule 12b-1 agreement, may be terminated with respect to the Fund at any time, without penalty, on not more than sixty (60) days’ written notice by a majority vote of the shareholders of each Fund’s Covered Shares, or by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees.

5. SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES

During the period in which the Plan is effective, the selection and nomination of those Trustees who are Independent Trustees of the Trust shall be committed to the discretion of the Independent Trustees.

6. AMENDMENTS

All material amendments of the Plan shall be in writing and shall be approved by a vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees, and of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such amendment. In addition, the Plan may not be amended to increase materially the amount to be expended by each Fund hereunder without the approval by a majority vote of the shareholders of each Fund’s Covered Shares.

7. RECORDKEEPING

The Trust shall preserve copies of the Plan, any Rule 12b-1 Agreement and all reports made pursuant to Section 3 for a period of not less than six years from the date of this Plan, any such Rule 12b-1 Agreement or such reports, as the case may be, the first two years in an easily accessible place.
