Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present the Cboe Vest US Large Cap 10% Buffer Strategies VI Fund and the Cboe Vest US Large Cap 20% Buffer Strategies VI Fund (“Funds”) Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Below is this year’s performance for our Funds:

For the period from August 25, 2022 (fund inception) through December 31, 2022, the net asset value (“NAV”) per Institutional Class Share of the Cboe Vest U.S. Large Cap 10% Buffer Strategies VI Fund returned -3.20%, compared to -3.55% for the CBOE S&P 500^® Buffer Protect Balanced Series Index (SPRO)¹. The Total Annualized Fund Operating Expenses Gross and Net of waivers and expense reimbursements for this fund were 1.38% and 1.05%, respectively.

For the period from August 25, 2022 (fund inception) through December 31, 2022, the net asset value (“NAV”) per Institutional Class Share of the Cboe Vest U.S. Large Cap 20% Buffer Strategies VI Fund returned 0.05%, compared to -0.36% for the MerQube US 20% Buffer Laddered Index (MQUSLBLR).² The Total Annualized Fund Operating Expenses Gross and Net of waivers and expense reimbursements for this fund were 1.38% and 1.05%, respectively.

For the period from August 25, 2022 through December 31, 2022, the variances between the Funds’ performances and their benchmark indices’ performances are attributed as follows:

*SPRO: Cboe S&P 500 Buffer Protect Index Balanced Series Index

**MQUSLBLR: MerQube US 20% Buffer Laddered Index

***Other sources of variance are primarily due to the effects of non-commission trading costs, basket optimization, imperfect exposure, and differences in valuation methodology between the fund and the index. Basket optimization refers to the fact that the fun may hold different securities than those held in the Benchmark Index. Imperfect exposure refers to the fact that the fund may be overexposed (i.e., hold a larger position than necessary) or underexposed (i.e., hold a smaller position than necessary) due to fact that the fund may increase/decrease exposures the day after purchases/redemptions of fund shares are made.

¹The balanced series is a composite of the 12 monthly series, where each monthly series is allocated on an equal weight basis at each monthly roll date.

²MerQube US 20% Buffer Laddered Index tracks the performance of a basket of twelve U.S. Equity Buffer indices, each tracking the return of the SPY ETF, up to a predetermined cap, while buffering against the first 20% of losses over each outcome period. Each of the twelve indices reset annually at the end of each outcome period, with each resetting at a different month. The index is equal weighted, rebalanced semi-annually.

Stock Market Performance

For the period from the two Funds’ inception dates (August 25, 2022) through December 31, 2022, the S&P 500^® Index³ returned -8.0%. Three of the eleven sectors within the S&P 500^® Index were up during the period. The top three sectors were Energy, Health Care, and Industrials, returning 7.0%, 4.7%, and 0.2%, respectively. The bottom three sectors were Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, and Information Technology, returning -22.7%, -18.0%, and -14.7%, respectively. Across the market capitalization spectrum, large cap stocks, as measured by the S&P 500^® Index, underperformed mid- cap stocks, but overperformed small-cap stocks. For the period from August 25, 2022 through December 31, 2022, the S&P 400^® Midcap Index⁴ returned -5.1%, while the Russell 2000® Small-Cap Index⁵ returned -9.8%.

For the period from August 25, 2022 through December 31, 2022, the S&P 500^® Index produced a dividend yield of 1.6%, which trailed the average 10-Year US Treasury note yield of 3.7% by 2.1%. During the same period, the 10-Year Treasury yield rose from 3.0% at the beginning of the period to 3.9% at the end.

The Cboe Vest U.S. Large Cap 10% Buffer Strategies VI Fund

The Cboe Vest US Large Cap 10% Buffer Strategies VI Fund outperformed the S&P 500^® Index by 4.80% for the period. At any given time, the Fund holds twelve laddered one-year 10% Buffer Strategies, with one commencing every month and resetting twelve months hence. A “laddered” portfolio refers to the Fund’s portfolio being effectively divided into twelve segments (each referred to as a “tranche”), and each tranche being invested in options that have expiration dates which occur on a monthly rolling basis. Each 10% Buffer Strategy seeks to provide investors with returns (before fees, expenses, and taxes) that match the price return of the SPY ETF, up to a predetermined upside cap, while providing a buffer against the first 10% (before fees, expenses, and taxes) of SPY ETF losses, over a defined one-year period.

Over each full fiscal year, Cboe Vest US Large Cap 10% Buffer Strategies VI Fund’s performance is impacted by the performance of each of 24 monthly tranches. Of these, 12 tranches are initiated during the prior fiscal year and terminated during the current fiscal year, and the remaining 12 tranches are initiated during the current fiscal year and are still open as of this fiscal year end.

For the four tranches (September, October, November, and December) that closed during the current fiscal year (ending December 31, 2022), the S&P 500^® Index was already down by an average of 8.7% when the fund launched (i.e., from tranche inception through 8/25/22.) This ranged from -6% to -11% across these four tranches. This determines where each of these tranches begin this fiscal year, relative to their caps and buffers. Then, during the current fiscal year (from 8/25/22 to tranche close), on average the S&P 500^® was down 8.8%. This ranged from -6% to -12% across these four tranches. Of these four tranches, none closed out at their caps, none closed out in the upside participation zone (i.e., where the S&P 500^® returned between 0% and the cap), none closed out in the buffer zone (i.e., where the S&P 500^® returned between -10% and 0%), and four closed out below the buffer zone (i.e., where the S&P 500^® returned less than -10%.)

³The S&P 500^® Index is a broad-based unmanaged index of 500 stocks, which is widely recognized as representative of the equity market in general.

⁴The S&P 400^® Midcap Index tracks the performance of companies considered to be in the mid-range of market capitalization of $3.6 billion and $13.1 billion

⁵The Russell 2000^® Small-Cap Index tracks the performance of 2,000 small-capitalization companies and often serves as a measure of the underlying health of the US economy.

For the other twelve tranches, those opened during the current fiscal year, on average the S&P 500^® was down 5.7% from the tranche opening date through the end of this fiscal year (December 31, 2022.) This ranged from -15% to +4% across these 12 tranches. These twelve tranches are still open as of the end of this fiscal year. As of December 31, 2022, none of these tranches are currently at their caps, three are currently in the upside participation zone, four are currently in the buffer zone, and five are below the buffer zone.

The Cboe Vest U.S. Large Cap 20% Buffer Strategies VI Fund

The Cboe Vest U.S. Large Cap 20% Buffer Strategies VI Fund outperformed the S&P 500^® Index by 8.05% for the period. At any given time, the Fund holds twelve laddered one-year 20% Buffer Strategies, with one commencing every month and resetting twelve months hence. A “laddered” portfolio refers to the Fund’s portfolio being effectively divided into twelve segments (each referred to as a “tranche”), and each tranche being invested in options that have expiration dates which occur on a monthly rolling basis. Each 20% Buffer Strategy seeks to provide investors with returns (before fees, expenses, and taxes) that match the price return of the SPY ETF, up to a predetermined upside cap, while providing a buffer against the first 20% (before fees, expenses, and taxes) of SPY ETF losses, over a defined one-year period.

Of these, 12 tranches are initiated during the prior fiscal year and terminated during the current fiscal year, and the remaining 12 tranches are initiated during the current fiscal year and are still open as of this fiscal year end.

For the four tranches (September, October, November, and December) that closed during the current fiscal year (ending December 31, 2022), the S&P 500^® was already down by an average of 8.7% when the fund launched (i.e., from tranche inception through 8/25/22.) This ranged from -6% to -11% across these four tranches. This determines where each of these tranches begin this fiscal year, relative to their caps and buffers. Then, during the current fiscal year (from 8/25/22 to tranche close), on average the S&P 500^® was down 8.8%. This ranged from -6% to -12% across these four tranches. Of these four tranches, none closed out at their caps, none closed out in the upside participation zone (i.e., where the S&P 500^® returned between 0% and the cap), none closed out in the buffer zone (i.e., where the S&P 500 returned between -20% and 0%), and four closed out below the buffer zone (i.e., where the S&P 500^® returned less than -20%.)

For the other twelve tranches, those opened during the current fiscal year, on average the S&P 500^® was down 5.7% from the tranche opening date through the end of this fiscal year (December 31, 2022.) This ranged from -15% to +4% across these 12 tranches. These twelve tranches are still open as of the end of this fiscal year. As of December 31, 2022, none of these tranches are currently at their caps, three are currently in the upside participation zone, nine are currently in the buffer zone, and none are below the buffer zone.

We believe the funds are relatively conservative investments relative to the S&P 500 Index, as they seek to provide a level of protection against declines in the S&P 500 Index, while at the same time seeking to capture a level of upside potential, to a cap, should the S&P 500 Index increase.

ANNUAL REPORT

THE CBOE VEST FAMILY OF FUNDS

Notes to Financial StatementsDecember 31, 2022

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Cboe Vest US Large Cap 10% Buffer Strategies VI Fund (“10% Buffer”), the Cboe Vest US Large Cap 20% Buffer Strategies VI Fund (“20% Buffer”) (each a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”) are each non-diversified series of the World Funds Trust (“WFT” or “Trust”) which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management company. WFT was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 9, 2007 and may issue its shares of beneficial interest in separate series and issue classes of any series or divide shares of any series into two or more classes. 10% Buffer’s and 20% Buffer’s commencement of operations were August 26, 2022.

Shares of a Fund may be purchased and sold only through variable contracts offered by insurance companies with which the Trust has entered into a participation agreement (each, a “Participating Insurance Company,” and, collectively, the “Participating Insurance Companies”). These Participating Insurance Companies are the record owners of the separate accounts holding the Fund shares. You do not buy, sell or exchange Fund shares directly; rather, you choose investment options through your variable contract. The Participating Insurance Companies then cause the separate accounts to purchase and redeem Fund shares according to the investment options you previously chose.

The investment objective of the 10% Buffer and 20% Buffer is capital appreciation.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.

Security Valuation

The Funds’ securities are valued at fair value. Investments in securities traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the last reported sale price. For securities traded on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sales are reported on a given date are valued at the last reported bid price. Debt securities are valued by appraising them at prices supplied by a pricing agent approved by the Trust, which prices may reflect broker-dealer supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Short-term debt securities (less than 60 days to maturity) are valued at their fair value using amortized cost. Investments in investment companies and money market funds are valued at net asset value per share. Other assets for which market prices are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures set by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Although the Board is ultimately responsible for fair value determinations under Rule 2a-5, the Board has delegated day-to-day responsibility for oversight of the valuation of each of the Fund’s assets to Cboe Vest^SM Financial, LLC (the “Adviser”) as the Valuation Designee pursuant to the Funds’ policies and procedures. Generally, trading in corporate bonds, US government securities and money market instruments is substantially completed each day at various times before the scheduled close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The value of these securities used in computing the net asset value (“NAV”) is determined at such times.

FLEX Options are valued by a pricing service which utilizes an options pricing model. Factors used by the model may include observable and unobservable inputs, including the strike price and maturity date of the option, implied volatility and the level of the underlying reference entity. FLEX Options are European-style options and can only be exercised on the expiration date.

The Funds have a policy that contemplates the use of fair value pricing to determine the NAV per share of the Funds when market prices are unavailable as well as under special circumstances, such as: (i) if the primary market for a portfolio security suspends or limits trading or price movements of the

ANNUAL REPORT

THE CBOE VEST FAMILY OF FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements - continuedDecember 31, 2022

security; and (ii) when an event occurs after the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security is principally traded that is likely to have changed the value of the security. Since most of the Funds’ investments are traded on US securities exchanges, it is anticipated that the use of fair value pricing will be limited.

When the Funds use fair value pricing to determine the NAV per share of the Funds, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Valuation Designee believes accurately reflects fair value. Any method used will be approved by the Board and results will be monitored to evaluate accuracy. The Funds’ policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Funds’ NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable market-based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the level of inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of December 31, 2022:

Refer to each Fund’s Schedules of Investments for a listing of the securities by security type.

Security Transactions and Income

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount or premiums are accreted or amortized to interest income using the effective interest method. The cost of securities sold is determined generally on a specific identification basis.

Cash

Cash, if any, consist of overnight deposits with the custodian bank which earn interest at the current market rate.

Cash Deposits with Brokers and Due to Broker

Cash deposits with brokers are held as collateral for options written. As of December 31, 2022, $6,164 and $24,237 were the cash deposits with brokers for 10% Buffer and 20% Buffer, respectively. There were no due to broker amounts for the Funds as of December 31, 2022.

Accounting Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

ANNUAL REPORT

THE CBOE VEST FAMILY OF FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements - continuedDecember 31, 2022

Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Each Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.

Management has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions to be taken in the Funds’ tax returns. The Funds have no examinations in progress and management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Interest and penalties, if any, associated with any federal or state income tax obligations are recorded as income tax expense when incurred.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts

Certain components of net assets are reclassified relating to permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expenses or realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes and have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the period ended December 31, 2022, such reclassifications were due to the write off of net operating losses and were as follows:

Class Net Asset Values and Expenses

All income, expenses not attributable to a particular class, and realized and unrealized gains, are allocated to each class proportionately on a daily basis for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. Each class bears different distribution expenses. Ratios are calculated by adjusting the expense and net investment income ratios for the Funds for the entire period for the effect of expenses applicable for each class. Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual funds based on each fund’s relative net assets or another appropriate basis as determined by the Board. The 10% Buffer and 20% Buffer currently offer Class I and Class Y Shares.

Derivatives

The Funds utilize derivatives to achieve their investment strategies. These are financial instruments that derive their performance from the performance of an underlying asset or index. Derivatives can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks, depending upon the characteristics of a particular derivative. Derivatives may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest, meaning that a small investment in a derivative could have a large potential impact on the performance of the Funds. The Funds could experience a loss if derivatives do not perform as anticipated, or are not correlated with the performance of other investments which are used to hedge or if the Funds are unable to liquidate a position because of an illiquid secondary market. The market for many derivatives is, or suddenly can become, illiquid. Changes in liquidity may result in significant, rapid and unpredictable changes in the prices for derivatives. 10% Buffer and 20% Buffer use FLEX Options, whose customized exercise prices and expiration dates allow the Funds to more precisely implement its investment strategy than through what could be achieved through the use of standardized option contracts. Options are subject to equity price risk that arises from the possibility

that equity security prices will fluctuate affecting the value of the options. The Funds are subject to the requirements of Rule 18f-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and have adopted policies and procedures to manage risks concerning their use of derivatives.

Options

Call options give the owner the right to buy a stock at a specific price (also called the strike price) over a given period of time. Put options give the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell a stock at a specific price over a given period of time. A purchaser (holder) of an option pays a non-refundable premium to the seller (writer) of an option to obtain the right to buy/sell a specified amount of a security at a fixed price (the exercise price) during a specified period (exercise period). Conversely, the seller (writer) of an option, upon payment by the holder of the premium, has the obligation to sell/buy the security from the holder of the option at the exercise price during the exercise period. When an option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the underlying security (or increases the proceeds on the security sold short) and the Funds realize a gain or loss from the sale of the security (or closing of the short sale). Options are not treated as hedging instruments under GAAP.

10% Buffer and 20% Buffer use FLEX Options, which are customized equity or index option contracts that trade on an exchange, but that provide investors with the ability to customize key contract terms like exercise prices, styles and expiration dates. Like standardized exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement by The Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”), a market clearinghouse. The OCC guarantees performance by each of the counterparties to the FLEX Options, becoming the “buyer for every seller and the seller for every buyer,” protecting clearing members and options traders from counterparty risk. FLEX Options provide investors with the ability to customize key terms, while achieving price discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding

Notes to Financial Statements - continuedDecember 31, 2022

the counterparty exposure of Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) options positions. The Funds bear the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities such as standardized options. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, the Funds may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. The value of the FLEX Options may change with the implied volatility of the Reference Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”), the S&P 500^® Index and the securities comprising the S&P 500^® Index. No one can predict whether implied volatility will rise or fall in the future.

10% Buffer aims to achieve its objective by seeking to capture returns, up to a maximum gain, generated by US large cap equity markets in rising markets, while seeking to cushion against losses in declining markets (i.e., a “buffer”). 10% Buffer seeks to accomplish its goals by investing in a portfolio of options-based buffered investment strategies.

10% Buffer attempts to achieve its investment objective through the construction of twelve laddered portfolios of 10% buffer strategies (each a “10% Buffer Strategy”) that invest in exchange-traded FLexible EXchange^® Options (“FLEX Options”) linked to a US large cap equity index (the “Index”), such as the S&P 500^® Index, or to an exchange traded fund (an “ETF”) that tracks the Index. Under normal market conditions, 10% Buffer will invest at least 80% of the value of its net assets (the “80% Test”) in a portfolio, or other investment companies that hold a portfolio, of FLEX Options linked to the Index and that are designed to replicate the returns of the twelve 10% Buffer Strategies. 10% Buffer Strategy seeks to provide investors with returns (before fees, expenses and taxes) that match the price return of the Index, up to a predetermined upside cap, while providing a buffer against the first 10% (before fees, expenses and taxes) of Index losses, over a defined one-year period. FLEX Options are customizable exchange-traded option contracts. For purposes of determining compliance with 10% Buffer’s 80% Test, 10% Buffer will only purchase FLEX Options on an Index, such as the S&P 500^® Index, that is considered to measure the large cap universe of issuers in the United States. For purposes of calculating the valuing the FLEX Options position and assessing compliance with the 80% Test, 10% Buffer will consider the market value of its FLEX Options positions.

ANNUAL REPORT

THE CBOE VEST FAMILY OF FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements - continuedDecember 31, 2022

Purchased option contracts – When the Funds purchase a call or put option, an amount equal to the total premium (the premium plus commission) paid by the Fund is recorded as an asset in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently marked-to-market daily. Premiums paid in the purchase of options that expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid in the purchase of call options that are exercised will increase the cost of the underlying security purchased. Premiums paid in the purchase of put options that are exercised will decrease the proceeds used to calculate the realized capital gain or loss on the sale of the underlying security.

Written option contracts – When the Funds write a call or put option, an amount equal to the net premium (the premium less the commission) received by the Funds are recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently marked-to-market daily. Premiums received from writing call and put options that expire are treated as realized capital gains. Premiums received from writing call options that are exercised will increase the proceeds used to calculate the realized capital gain or loss on the sale of the underlying security. Premiums received from writing put options that are exercised will decrease the basis of the underlying security purchased.

If a closing purchase or sale transaction is used to terminate a Fund’s obligation on an option, a capital gain or loss will be realized, depending upon whether the price of the closing transaction is more or less than the premium previously paid on the option purchased or received on the option written.

Underlying Investment in Other Investment Companies

10% Buffer and 20% Buffer seek to achieve their investment objectives by investing a portion of their assets in an exchange traded fund (an “ETF”). The Funds may redeem their investments from an ETF at any time if the Adviser determines that it is in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders to do so. As of December 31, 2022, neither of the Funds respective net assets were invested in an ETF.

NOTE 2 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Adviser, the Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Funds for an investment management fee equal to 0.75% of the daily net assets of each Fund.

The Adviser has entered into a written expense limitation agreement under which it has agreed to limit the total expenses of the Funds (exclusive of interest, fees payable pursuant to Rule 12b-1 Plans, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, extraordinary expenses and dividend expense on short sales) to an annual rate of 0.80% of the daily net assets of each class of 10% Buffer and 20% Buffer. The Adviser may not terminate this expense limitation agreement prior to April 30, 2024. Each waiver or reimbursement of an expense by the Adviser is subject to repayment by the Funds within three years following the date such waiver and/or reimbursement was made, provided that the Funds are able to make the repayment without exceeding the expense limitation in place at the time of the waiver or reimbursement and at the time the waiver or reimbursement is recouped.

For the period ended December 31, 2022, the Adviser earned and waived advisory fees and pursuant to the expense limitation arrangements as described below:


Fund	Management Fees Earned	Management Fees Waived	Expenses Reimbursed
10% Buffer	$1,355	$1,355	$9,295
20% Buffer	1,352	1,352	8,920

THE CBOE VEST FAMILY OF FUNDS

The total amount of recoverable reimbursements as of December 31, 2022 and expiration dates are as follows:


	Recoverable Reimbursements and Expiration Dates
Fund	2025	Total
10% Buffer	$10,650	$10,650
20% Buffer	10,272	10,272

The Board has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan for the Funds’ Class I Shares (collectively, the “12b-1 Plans”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan, the Funds may finance from the assets of a particular Class certain activities or expenses that are intended primarily to result in the sale of shares of such class. Each Fund finance these distribution and service activities through payments made to its principal underwriter (“Distributor”). The fee paid to the Distributor by each class is computed on an annualized basis reflecting the average daily net assets of a class, up to a maximum of 0.25% for the Class I Shares. Because these fees are paid out of a class’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost more than paying other types of sales charges.

The Funds have adopted a shareholder services plan with respect to their Class I and Class Y Shares. Under the shareholder services plan, the Funds may pay an authorized firm on an annualized basis, up to 0.25% of average daily net assets attributable to their customers who are shareholders. For this fee, the authorized firms may provide a variety of services, including but not limited to: (i) arranging for bank wires; (ii) responding to inquiries from shareholders concerning their investment in the Funds; (iii) assisting shareholders in changing dividend options, account designations and addresses; (iv) providing information periodically to shareholders showing their position in shares; (v) forwarding shareholder communications from the Funds such as proxies, shareholder reports, annual reports, and dividend distribution and tax notices to shareholders; (vi) processing purchase, exchange and redemption requests from shareholder and placing orders with the Funds or their service providers; (vii) providing subaccounting with respect to shares beneficially owned by shareholders; and (viii) processing dividend payments from the Funds on behalf of shareholders.

Because the Funds have adopted the shareholder services plan to compensate authorized firms for providing the types of services described above, the Funds believe the shareholder services plan is not covered by Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, which relates to payment of distribution fees. The Funds, however, follow the procedural requirements of Rule 12b-1 in connection with the implementation and administration of the shareholder services plan.

For the period ended December 31, 2022, the following expenses were incurred:


Fund	Class	Type of Plan	Fees Incurred
10% Buffer	I	Shareholder servicing	$1
10% Buffer	Y	Shareholder servicing	6
10% Buffer	I	12b-1	44

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

During the period ended December 31, 2022, there were no purchases or sales of long term securities.

NOTE 4 – DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL

Distributions from net investment income and realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. There were no distributions paid by the Funds during the period ended December 31, 2022.

As of December 31, 2022, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated deficits) on a tax basis were as follows:


	10% Buffer		20% Buffer

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)	(13,855	)	1,313
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	—		—
	$(13,855	)	$1,313

As of December 31, 2022, 10% Buffer had a capital loss carryforward of $13,855, of which $5,542 is considered short-term and $8,313 is considered long-term. These losses may be carried forward indefinitely.

Cost of securities for Federal Income tax purposes, inclusive of premiums received from written options, and the related tax-based net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) consists of:


Fund	Cost	Gross Unrealized Appreciation	Gross Unrealized Depreciation	Net Unrealized Appreciation
10% Buffer	$538,027	$—	$—	$—
20% Buffer	499,037	—	—	—

The difference between book basis and tax basis net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the mark-to-market of unrealized gain (loss) on index options.

NOTE 6 – RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND

As with all funds, a shareholder is subject to the risk that his or her investment could lose money. The principal risks affecting shareholders’ investments in the Funds are set forth below. An investment in the Funds is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any government agency. The principal risks described herein pertain to direct risks of making an investment in the Funds.

Derivative Securities Risk. The Funds may invest in derivative securities. These are financial instruments that derive their performance from the performance of an underlying asset or index. Derivatives can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks, depending upon the characteristics of a particular derivative. Derivatives may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest, meaning that a small investment in a derivative could have a large potential impact on the performance of the Funds. The Funds could experience a loss if derivatives do not perform as anticipated, or are not correlated with the performance of other investments which are used to hedge or if the Funds are unable to liquidate a position because of an illiquid secondary market. The market for many derivatives is, or suddenly can become, illiquid. Changes in liquidity may result in significant, rapid and unpredictable changes in the prices for derivatives.

FLEX Options Risk. The Funds expect to utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC. The Funds bear the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities such as standardized options. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, the Funds may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. FLEX Options are also subject to the Derivative Securities Risk described above.

Options Risk. The price of an option, which is a function of interest rates, volatility, dividends, the exercise price, Index changes, and other market factors, may change rapidly over time. Options may expire unexercised, causing the Funds to lose the premium paid for the options. The Funds could experience a loss if securities underlying the options do not perform as anticipated. There may be an imperfect correlation between the prices of options and movements in the price of the securities or stock indexes on which the options are based.

THE CBOE VEST FAMILY OF FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements - continuedDecember 31, 2022

Indexed Securities and Derivatives Risk. If a security or derivative is linked to the performance of an index, it may be subject to the risks associated with changes in that index.

NOTE 7 – CONTROL PERSONS AND PRINCIPAL SECURITIES HOLDERS

A principal shareholder is any person who owns (either of record or beneficially) 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund. A control person is one who owns, (either directly or indirectly), more than 25% of the voting securities of the Fund or acknowledges the existence of such control. As a controlling shareholder, each of these persons could control the outcome of any proposal submitted to the shareholders for approval, including changes to the Fund’s fundamental policies or the terms of the management agreements with the Adviser. At December 31, 2022, the Adviser owned 99% of 10% Buffer’s and 99% of 20% Buffer’s outstanding shares, respectively.

NOTE 8 – RECENT MARKET EVENTS

Market Disruption and Geopolitical Events. Geopolitical and other events, such as war, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics could result in unplanned or significant securities market closures, volatility or declines. Russia’s recent military invasion of Ukraine and the resulting broad-ranging economic sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries, as well as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, may continue to disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and companies, thereby decreasing the value of the Funds’ investments. Additionally, sudden or significant changes in the supply or prices of commodities or other economic inputs may have material and unexpected effects on both global securities markets and individual countries, regions, industries, or companies, which could reduce the value of the Funds’ investments.

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated all transactions and events subsequent to the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities through the date on which these financial statements were issued and, except as noted above, has noted no additional items require disclosure.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments and options written, of Cboe Vest US Large Cap 10% Buffer Strategies VI Fund and Cboe Vest US Large Cap 20% Buffer Strategies VI Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of World Funds Trust, as of December 31, 2022, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, the related notes, and the financial highlights for the period August 26, 2022 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2022 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of December 31, 2022, the results of their operations, the changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the period August 26, 2022 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies advised by Cboe Vest Financial, LLC since 2016.

APPROVAL OF NEW INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

At a meeting held on February 23, 2022 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of World Funds Trust (the “Trust”) considered and discussed the approval of a new Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Cboe Vest VI Advisory Agreement”) with respect to the Cboe Vest US Large Cap 10% Buffer Strategies VI Fund and the Cboe Vest US Large Cap 20% Buffer Strategies VI Fund (the “Cboe Vest VI Funds”). The Board discussed the arrangements between Cboe Vest and the Trust with respect to the Cboe VI Funds. The Board reflected on its discussions regarding the proposed Cboe VI Advisory Agreement and the manner in which the Cboe VI Funds were to be managed with representatives of the Cboe Vest VI Funds adviser, Cboe Vest Financial LLC (“Cboe Vest”), during the Meeting. At the Meeting, the Board reviewed, among other things, a memorandum from Trust Counsel that addressed the duties of Trustees regarding the approval of the proposed Cboe VI Advisory Agreement, a letter from Trust Counsel to Cboe Vest and Cboe Vest’s responses to that letter, financial information for Cboe Vest, a copy of Cboe Vest’s Form ADV, and fee comparison analyses for the Cboe VI Funds and comparable mutual funds.

The Trustees discussed the types of information and factors that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision regarding the approval of the Cboe VI Advisory Agreement, including the following material factors: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by Cboe Vest; (ii) the investment performance of the Cboe VI Funds and Cboe Vest; (iii) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by Cboe Vest from the relationship with the Cboe VI Funds; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the Cboe VI Funds grow and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds’ investors; and (v) the practices of Cboe Vest regarding possible conflicts of interest.

In assessing these factors and reaching its decisions, the Board took into consideration information specifically prepared or presented at the Meeting. The Board requested or was provided with information and reports relevant to the approval of the Cboe VI Advisory Agreement, including: (i) information regarding the services and support to be provided by Cboe Vest to the Cboe VI Funds and their shareholders; (ii) the presentation by management of Cboe Vest addressing the investment philosophy, investment strategy, personnel and operations to be utilized in managing the Cboe VI Funds; (iii) information pertaining to the compliance structure of Cboe Vest; (iv) disclosure information contained in the Funds’ registration statement and the Form ADV and/or policies and procedures of Cboe Vest; and (v) the memorandum from Trust Counsel that summarized the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the Board in reviewing and approving the Cboe VI Advisory Agreement, including the material factors set forth above and the types of information included in each factor that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision.

The Board also requested and received various informational materials including, without limitation: (i) documents containing information about Cboe Vest, including financial information, a description of personnel and the services to be provided by Cboe Vest to the Cboe VI Funds, information on investments, performance, expenses of the Funds, Cboe Vest’s compliance program, current legal matters, and other general information; and (ii) comparative expense and performance information for other funds with strategies similar to each Cboe VI Fund prepared by an independent third party. The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration of whether to approve the continuation of the Cboe VI Advisory Agreement and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors. In deciding whether to approve the Cboe VI Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:

1.The nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by Cboe Vest.

In this regard, the Board considered the responsibilities of Cboe Vest under the Cboe VI Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by Cboe Vest to the Cboe VI Funds including, without limitation, the process for formulating investment recommendations and assuring compliance with each Fund’s investment objectives and limitations; the coordination of services for

World Funds Trust (the “Trust”)

Supplemental Information (unaudited) - continued

the Funds among the service providers, and the anticipated efforts of Cboe Vest to promote the Funds and grow assets. The Board considered: Cboe Vest’s staffing, personnel, and methods of operating; the education and experience of its personnel; and its compliance programs, policies and procedures. After reviewing the foregoing and further information from Cboe Vest, the Board concluded that the quality, extent, and nature of the services to be provided by Cboe Vest was satisfactory and adequate for the Cboe VI Funds.

2.Investment Performance of the Cboe VI Funds and Cboe Vest.

The Board noted that the Cboe VI Funds had not yet commenced operations in the Trust. The Trustees considered that Cboe Vest does not currently manage a strategy similar to that of the Cboe 20% VI Fund but does manage one other actively managed strategy for an investment company client (the “Comparable Fund”) with an investment objective and strategy similar to that of the Cboe 10% VI Fund. The Trustees reviewed the performance of the Comparable Fund and the differences identified by Cboe Vest between the Comparable Fund and the Cboe 10% VI Fund that impacted such performance – notably, that the Comparable Fund invested in ETFs that hold options while the Cboe 10% VI Fund will invest in tranches that hold options directly, which requires a more complex trading and operational structure.

3.The costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by Cboe Vest from the relationship with the Cboe VI Funds.

In this regard, the Board considered: the financial condition of Cboe Vest and the level of commitment to the Cboe VI Funds by Cboe Vest; the projected profitability of the Cboe VI Funds to Cboe Vest; and the proposed expenses of the Cboe VI Funds, including the nature and frequency of advisory fee payments. The Board compared the proposed fees and expenses of the Cboe VI Funds (including the advisory fee) to other funds comparable to it in terms of the type of fund, the style of investment management, and the nature of the investment strategy and markets invested in, among other factors. The Board noted that Cboe Vest has contractually agreed to limit each Fund’s annual operating expenses to an annual rate of 0.80% of its average daily net assets until April 30, 2024, excluding certain expenses such as 12b-1 Fees. The Trustees considered that this projected net expense ratio of 0.80% for each Fund was lower than the median net expense ratio of the category and peer group of funds selected by Broadridge from Morningstar’s Options Trading category. The Board also noted that the Fund’s projected gross and net advisory fee payable to Cboe Vest under the Cboe VI Advisory Agreement was higher than the median of its peer group and category but within the range of the advisory fees presented. The Trustees considered the fees and expenses of the Comparable Fund to those of the Cboe 10% VI Fund and the reasons for the differences as represented by Cboe Vest and determined them to be reasonable. The Board determined that the advisory fees were within an acceptable range in light of the services to be rendered by Cboe Vest. Following this comparison and upon further consideration and discussion of the foregoing, the Board concluded that the projected profitability and fees to be paid to Cboe Vest were fair and reasonable.

4.The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Cboe VI Funds grow and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds’ investors.

In this regard, the Board considered the Cboe VI Funds’ fee arrangements with Cboe Vest. The Board noted that the advisory fee would stay the same as asset levels increased, although it noted that Cboe Vest had entered into an expense limitation arrangement pursuant to which it has agreed to limit each Cboe VI Fund’s expenses, until April 30, 2024, to an annual rate of 0.80% of average daily net assets, excluding certain expenses such as 12b-1 Fees. The Board considered the Adviser’s representation that this arrangement is effectively better for shareholders of the Cboe VI Funds than breakpoints in that it allows shareholders to immediately benefit without having to have assets grow significantly. The Trustees further considered that, though the Buffer Funds have substantially similar investment strategies and objectives as the Cboe VI Funds and utilize breakpoints in their advisory

World Funds Trust (the “Trust”)

Supplemental Information (unaudited) - continued

fees, Cboe Vest represented that it does not believe that breakpoints are currently appropriate for the Cboe VI Funds. The Board noted Cboe Vest’s representations that, based on Cboe Vest’s experience with the existing Buffer strategy funds it advises in the Trust, it is difficult to forecast the Cboe VI Funds’ anticipated expenses in order to establish the appropriate breakpoints. The Board further noted Cboe Vest’s representations that, additionally, as variable insurance trusts funds, the Cboe VI Funds will operate differently than the standard open-end management investment companies (such as the Buffer strategy funds) that typically utilize fee breakpoints, and that it is difficult to estimate the added costs, if any, of operating funds that will be utilized by the separate accounts of variable annuities managed by third party insurance companies that will enter into participation agreements with the Cboe VI Funds. The Board noted that Cboe Vest indicated that it will reconsider the usage of breakpoints after time has passed such that expenses can be effectively modeled if assets managed in the Cboe VI Funds have increased to a point where economies of scale may be achieved. Following further discussion of the Cboe VI Funds’ projected asset levels and expectations for growth, the Board determined that the Cboe VI Funds’ fee arrangements with Cboe Vest were fair and reasonable and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services to be provided by Cboe Vest and that the expense limitation arrangements provided potential savings or protection for the benefit of the Fund’s shareholders.

5.Possible conflicts of interest and other benefits.

In evaluating the possibility for conflicts of interest, the Board considered such matters as: the experience and ability of the advisory personnel assigned to the Cboe VI Funds; the basis of decisions to buy or sell securities for the Funds; the method for allocating purchases and sales of portfolio securities; the substance and administration of Cboe Vest’s Code of Ethics and other relevant policies described in Cboe Vest’s Form ADV. The Board considered that Cboe Vest indicated that it did not anticipate any indirect benefits from the Cboe VI Funds. The Trustees also considered that, though Cboe Vest does not have any revenue sharing or other financial arrangements with a broker-dealer related to the distribution, marketing or shareholders servicing of the Cboe VI Funds, it intends to enter into a consulting arrangement, at its expense and from its legitimate profits, to assist in introductions to insurance companies. The Trustees further considered that Cboe Vest may, from time to time, also at its expense and from its legitimate profits, make cash payments to insurance companies with which the Trust has entered into a participation agreement on behalf of the Cboe VI Funds. Following further consideration and discussion, the Board indicated that Cboe Vest’s standards and practices relating to the identification and mitigation of potential conflicts of interest, as well as the benefits to be derived by Cboe Vest from managing the Cboe VI Funds were satisfactory.

After additional consideration of the factors delineated in the memorandum provided by Trust Counsel and further discussion and careful review by the Board, the Trustees determined that the compensation payable under the Cboe Vest VI Advisory Agreement was fair, reasonable and within a range of what could have been negotiated at arms-length in light of all the surrounding circumstances, and they approved the new Cboe Vest VI Advisory Agreement.

Fund Expenses (unaudited)

Fund Expenses Example

As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Cboe Vest Family of Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period, August 26, 2022, and held for the period ended December 31, 2022.

Actual Expenses Example

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000= 8.6), then multiply the result by the under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Six months” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on of the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as contingent deferred sales charges on certain redemptions. Therefore, the hypothetical account values are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class Y Hypothetical⁽³⁾	$1,000.00	$1,021.17	0.80%	$4.08

⁽¹⁾Beginning account value date for 10% Buffer and 20% Buffer is its date of commencement of operations, August 26, 2022. Beginning account value date for the Hypothetical Example is the six months period beginning July 1, 2022.

⁽²⁾Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by number of days in the most recent fiscal period (128) days for 10% Buffer and 20% Buffer, 184 days for the Hypothetical Example) divided by 365 days in the current year.

⁽³⁾5% return before expenses.
