EX-99.77Q1 OTHR EXHB 5 RBB77q12.txt AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the "Agreement") is made as of September 27, 2016, by and between The RBB Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "RBB Fund"), on behalf of its separate investment series listed on Schedule A (the "Acquiring Funds") and The Motley Fool Funds Trust, a Delaware statutory trust ("MFFT"), on behalf of its separate investment series listed on Schedule A (the "Acquired Funds" and, together with the Acquiring Funds, the "Funds"). Motley Fool Asset management, LLC, the investment adviser to the Acquiring Funds and the Acquired Funds, is a party to this Agreement solely for purposes of paragraph 8.2. All agreements, representations, actions and obligations described herein made or to be taken or undertaken by the Acquiring Funds are made and shall be taken or undertaken by the RBB Fund on behalf of the Acquiring Funds and all agreements, representations, actions and obligations described herein made or to be taken or undertaken by the Acquired Funds are made and shall be taken or undertaken by MFFT on behalf of the Acquired Funds. This Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The reorganization will consist of the transfer of all of the assets of each of the Acquired Funds to its corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for shares of beneficial interest of the corresponding Acquiring Fund (the "Acquiring Fund Shares"), the assumption by each Acquiring Fund of all liabilities of the corresponding Acquired Fund, and the distribution of the Acquiring Fund Shares to the shareholders of each corresponding Acquired Fund in redemption of all outstanding Acquired Fund Shares (as defined below) and in complete liquidation of each of the Acquired Funds, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement (the "Reorganization"). WHEREAS, the Acquiring Funds and the Acquired Funds are (or will by the Effective Time, as defined in paragraph 3.1) each separate investment series of registered open-end management investment companies, and the Acquired Funds own securities which are assets of the character in which the Acquiring Funds are permitted to invest; and WHEREAS, the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds are each authorized to issue their shares of beneficial interest; and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the RBB Fund has determined, with respect to each of the Acquiring Funds, that: (1) participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of each of the Acquiring Funds and their shareholders, and (2) the interests of the existing shareholders of each of the Acquiring Funds would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization; and WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of MFFT has determined, with respect to each of the Acquired Funds, that: (1) participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of each of the Acquired Funds and their shareholders, and (2) the interests of the existing shareholders of each of the Acquired Funds would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows: THE REORGANIZATION AND FUND TRANSACTIONS The Reorganization. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, at the Effective Time (as defined in paragraph 3.1), MFFT shall assign, deliver and otherwise transfer the Assets (as defined in paragraph 1.2) of each of the Acquired Funds to the corresponding Acquiring Fund, and RBB Fund shall assume the Liabilities (as defined in paragraph 1.3) of each of the Acquired Funds on behalf of the Acquiring Funds. In consideration of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, each of the Acquiring Funds shall deliver to the corresponding Acquired Fund full and fractional Acquiring Fund Shares (to the third decimal place). Holders of Investor Shares of each Acquired Fund will receive Investor Shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund and holders of Institutional Shares of each Acquired Fund will receive Institutional Shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund. The number of Acquiring Fund Shares to be delivered shall be determined as set forth in paragraph 2.3. Assets of the Acquired Funds. The assets of each Acquired Fund to be acquired by the corresponding Acquiring Fund shall consist of all assets and property, including, without limitation, all cash, cash equivalents, securities, receivables (including securities, interests and dividends receivable), commodities and futures interests, rights to register shares under applicable securities laws, any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of each respective Acquired Fund at the Valuation Time, books and records of each Acquired Fund, and any other property owned by the Acquired Funds at the Valuation Time (collectively, the "Assets"). Liabilities of the Acquired Funds. Each Acquired Fund will use commercially reasonable efforts to discharge all of its known liabilities and obligations prior to the Valuation Time consistent with its obligation to continue to pursue its investment objective and strategies in accordance with the terms of its prospectus. Each Acquiring Fund will assume all of its corresponding Acquired Fund's liabilities and obligations of any kind whatsoever, whether known or unknown, absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise, in existence on the Closing Date (collectively, the "Liabilities"). Distribution of Acquiring Fund Shares. At the Effective Time (or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable), each Acquired Fund will distribute the Acquiring Fund Shares received from its corresponding Acquiring Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.1, pro rata to the record holders of the shares of the Acquired Fund determined as of the Effective Time (the "Acquired Fund Shareholders") in complete liquidation of each Acquired Fund. Such distribution and liquidation will be accomplished by the transfer of the Acquiring Fund Shares then credited to the account of each Acquired Fund on the books of the corresponding Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the names of the Acquired Fund Shareholders. The aggregate net asset value of the Acquiring Fund Shares to be so credited to the respective Acquired Fund Shareholders shall be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the then outstanding shares of beneficial interest of each respective Acquired Fund (the "Acquired Fund Shares") owned by Acquired Fund Shareholders at the Effective Time. All issued and outstanding shares of each Acquired Fund will simultaneously be redeemed and canceled on the books of the Acquired Funds. The Acquiring Funds shall not issue share certificates representing the Acquiring Fund Shares in connection with such exchange. Recorded Ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares. Ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares will be shown on the books of the Acquiring Funds' Transfer Agent (as defined in paragraph 3.3). Filing Responsibilities of the Acquired Funds. Any reporting responsibility of the Acquired Funds, including, but not limited to, the responsibility for filing regulatory reports, tax returns, or other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), any state securities commission, and any Federal, state or local tax authorities or any other relevant regulatory authority, is and shall remain the responsibility of the Acquired Funds up to and including the Closing Date and such later date as the Acquired Funds' existence is terminated. VALUATION Net Asset Value of the Acquired Funds. The net asset value of the Acquired Fund Shares shall be the net asset value computed as of the Valuation Time, after the declaration and payment of any dividends and/or other distributions on that date, using the valuation procedures of the Acquired Funds. Net Asset Value of the Acquiring Funds. The net asset value of the Acquiring Fund Shares shall be the net asset value computed as of the Valuation Time, after the declaration and payment of any dividends and/or other distributions on that date, using the valuation procedures of the Acquiring Funds. Calculation of Number of Acquiring Fund Shares. The number of Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued (including fractional shares (to the third decimal place), if any) in connection with the Reorganization shall be determined by dividing the value of: (i) the per share net asset value of the Acquired Fund Shares participating therein attributable to Investor Shares, determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1 by the net asset value per Investor Shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.2; (ii) the per share net asset value of the Acquired Fund Shares participating therein attributable to Institutional Shares, determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1 by the net asset value per Institutional Share of the corresponding Acquiring Fund, determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.2. The parties agree that the intent of this calculation is to ensure that the aggregate net asset value of the Acquiring Fund Shares to be so credited to Acquired Fund Shareholders shall be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the then outstanding shares of beneficial interest of the Acquired Fund Shares owned by Acquired Fund Shareholders at the Effective Time. Determination of Value. All computations of value hereunder shall be made in accordance with each Fund's regular practice and the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and shall be subject to confirmation by each Fund's respective independent registered public accounting firm upon reasonable request of the other Fund. MFFT and RBB Fund agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts to resolve prior to the Valuation Time any material pricing differences for prices of portfolio securities of any Acquired Fund which are also held by a corresponding Acquiring Fund. Valuation Time. The Valuation Time shall be the time at which the Funds calculate their net asset values as set forth in their respective prospectuses (normally the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE")) on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date (as defined in paragraph 3.1) (the "Valuation Time"). CLOSING Closing. The Reorganization, together with related acts necessary to consummate the same ("Closing"), shall occur at the principal office of MFFT on or about December [ ], 2016, or at such other place and/or on such other date as to which the parties may agree (the "Closing Date"). All acts taking place at the Closing shall be deemed to take place immediately prior to the opening of business on the Closing Date unless otherwise provided herein (the "Effective Time"). Transfer and Delivery of Assets. MFFT shall direct Bank of New York Mellon ("BNY"), as custodian for the Acquired Funds, to deliver, at the Closing, a certificate of an authorized officer stating that: (i) the Assets were delivered in proper form to the Acquiring Funds at the Effective Time, and (ii) all necessary taxes in connection with the delivery of the Assets, including all applicable Federal and state stock transfer stamps, if any, have been paid or provision for payment has been made. Each Acquired Fund's portfolio securities represented by a certificate or other written instrument shall be presented by BNY, on behalf of each respective Acquired Fund, to BNY, as custodian for the corresponding Acquiring Fund. Such presentation shall be made for examination no later than five (5) business days preceding the Effective Time and shall be transferred and delivered by each Acquired Fund as of the Effective Time for the account of the corresponding Acquiring Fund duly endorsed in proper form for transfer in such condition as to constitute good delivery thereof. BNY, on behalf of each of the Acquired Funds, shall deliver to BNY, as custodian of each corresponding Acquiring Fund, as of the Effective Time by book entry, in accordance with the customary practices of BNY and of each securities depository, as defined in Rule 17f-4 under the 1940 Act, in which each Acquired Fund's Assets are deposited, each Acquired Fund's Assets deposited with such depositories. The cash to be transferred by each Acquired Fund shall be delivered by wire transfer of Federal funds at the Effective Time. Share Records. MFFT shall direct BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc., in its capacity as transfer agent for each of the Acquired Funds (the "Transfer Agent"), to deliver at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that its records contain the names and addresses of the Acquired Fund Shareholders and the number and percentage ownership of outstanding Acquired Fund Shares owned by each such Acquired Fund Shareholder immediately prior to the Closing. Each Acquiring Fund shall issue and deliver to the Secretary of the corresponding Acquired Fund prior to the Effective Time a confirmation evidencing that the appropriate number of Acquiring Fund Shares will be credited to each respective Acquired Fund at the Effective Time, or provide other evidence satisfactory to the Acquired Funds as of the Effective Time that such Acquiring Fund Shares have been credited to each Acquired Fund's accounts on the books of the corresponding Acquiring Fund. Postponement of Valuation Time. In the event that at the Valuation Time the NYSE or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of the Acquiring Funds or the Acquired Funds (each, an "Exchange") shall be closed to trading or trading thereupon shall be restricted, or trading or the reporting of trading on such Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that, in the mutual judgment of the Board of Trustees of MFFT and the Board of Directors of RBB Fund, accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of the Acquired Funds or the Acquiring Funds, respectively, is impracticable, the Valuation Time shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES Representations and Warranties of the Acquired Funds. Except as has been fully disclosed to the Acquiring Funds in a written instrument executed by an officer of MFFT, MFFT represents and warrants to RBB Fund as follows: Each Acquired Fund is a duly established series of MFFT, which is a statutory trust duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of State of Delaware, with power under its Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, each as amended from time to time, to own all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is presently conducted. MFFT is registered with the Commission as an open-end management investment company under the 1940 Act, and the registration of the Acquired Fund Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), is in full force and effect. No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any court or governmental authority is required for the consummation by the Acquired Funds of the transactions contemplated herein, except such as have been obtained under the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), and the 1940 Act, and such as may be required under state securities laws. The current prospectus, statement of additional information, shareholder reports, marketing and other related materials of the Acquired Funds and each prospectus and statement of additional information of the Acquired Funds used at all times prior to the date of this Agreement conform or conformed at the time of their use in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and do not or did not at the time of their use include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. At the Effective Time, each Acquired Fund will have good and marketable title to the Assets and full right, power, and authority to sell, assign, transfer and deliver such Assets hereunder free of any liens or other encumbrances, and upon delivery and payment for such Assets, each corresponding Acquiring Fund will acquire good and marketable title thereto, subject to no restrictions on the full transfer thereof other than such restrictions as might arise under the 1933 Act. MFFT is not engaged currently, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not result, in: (i) a violation of federal securities laws (including the 1940 Act) or of Delaware law or a material violation of its Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, or of any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease or other undertaking to which any Acquired Fund is a party or by which it is bound, or (ii) the acceleration of any obligation, or the imposition of any penalty, under any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease, judgment or decree to which any Acquired Fund is a party or by which it is bound. All material contracts or other commitments of each Acquired Fund (other than this Agreement and certain investment contracts, including options, futures, forward contracts and other similar instruments) will terminate without liability or obligation to each such Acquired Fund on or prior to the Effective Time. Except as otherwise disclosed to and accepted by the Acquiring Funds in writing, no litigation or administrative proceeding or investigation of or before any court or governmental body is presently pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against any Acquired Funds or any of its properties or assets that, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect its financial condition or the conduct of its business. The Acquired Funds know of no facts which might form the basis for the institution of such proceedings and are not a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, decree or judgment of any court or governmental body that materially and adversely affects their business or their ability to consummate the transactions herein contemplated. The Statements of Assets and Liabilities, Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets, and Schedules of Investments of the Acquired Funds at October 31, 2015 have been audited by Tait, Weller & Baker LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") consistently applied, and such statements (copies of which have been furnished to the Acquiring Fund) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Acquired Fund as of such date in accordance with GAAP, and there are no known contingent liabilities of the Acquired Fund required to be reflected on a balance sheet (including the notes thereto) in accordance with GAAP as of such date not disclosed therein. Since October 31, 2015, there has not been any material adverse change in any Acquired Fund's financial condition, assets, liabilities or business, other than changes occurring in the ordinary course of business, or any incurrence by any Acquired Fund of indebtedness maturing more than one year from the date such indebtedness was incurred, except as otherwise disclosed to and accepted by the Acquiring Funds in writing. For the purposes of this subparagraph (j), a decline in net asset value per share of Acquired Fund Shares due to declines in market values of securities held by an Acquired Fund, the discharge of an Acquired Fund's liabilities, or the redemption of an Acquired Fund's shares by shareholders of the Acquired Fund shall not constitute a material adverse change.

Except as otherwise disclosed to and accepted by the Acquired Funds in writing, no litigation or administrative proceeding or investigation of or before any court or governmental body is presently pending or, to each Acquiring Fund's knowledge, threatened against an Acquiring Fund, or any Acquiring Fund's properties or assets that, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect an Acquiring Fund's financial condition or the conduct of its business. The Acquiring Funds know of no facts which might form the basis for the institution of such proceedings and are not a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, decree or judgment of any court or governmental body that materially and adversely affects their business or their ability to consummate the transactions herein contemplated. Prior to the Effective Time, none of the Acquiring Funds will have carried on any business activity and none will have any assets or liabilities.

Each Acquiring Fund will meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code for qualification as a regulated investment company, will elect to be treated as such, and will compute its federal income tax under Section 852 of the Code for the period beginning on the Closing Date. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will have been duly authorized prior to the Effective Time by all necessary action, if any, on the part of the Directors of the RBB Fund, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, and this Agreement will constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Acquiring Fund, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles. The Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued and delivered to the Acquired Fund, for the account of the Acquired Fund Shareholders, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, will at the Effective Time have been duly authorized and, when so issued and delivered, will be duly and validly issued Acquiring Fund Shares, will be fully paid and non-assessable by the RBB Fund and will have been issued in every jurisdiction in compliance in all material respects with applicable registration requirements and applicable securities laws.
