URGENT NOTICE
2nd ADJOURNED SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING AUGUST 3, 2018
Dear Shareholder:
The Special Meeting of Shareholders that was held had to be adjourned for a second time as the fund did not have the required vote to pass the proposals. The special meeting is in regards to important proposals that were outlined in the proxy materials that were mailed to you several times. As of the date of this letter, the fund does not have your vote.
The Board of Trustees urges you to vote without delay in order to avoid potential disruption to your Fund. This could occur if Shareholder approval is not obtained and will result in ALPS Advisors no longer being able to continue to provide advisory services to your Fund as well as the potential for your fund to close if the proposal doesn’t pass!
Your vote is very important. By taking a moment to vote, all future mail and phone calls to you regarding this matter will be stopped.
• | For personal assistance, call 1-866-875-8613 (toll free) between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday and between 12:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday. |
By calling the toll-free number, you will be speaking with a representative of Computershare Fund Services, the firm assisting the funds in the effort of gathering votes.
At the time of the call, you will be asked for the reference number above in order to locate your voting record for the fund(s) that you own. The representative will not have access to your confidential information and the telephone line is also recorded for your protection. After the call, you will receive a confirmation of your vote by mail.
After careful consideration, the Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the proposals.
We appreciate your voting. Thank you for investing with ALPS ETF Trust.
Sincerely,
ALPS ETF Trust
