NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2024 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

Sparkline Intangible Value ETF (“ITAN”) and Sparkline International Intangible Value ETF (“DTAN”) (individually, a “Fund”, or collectively, the “Funds”) are each a series of the EA Series Trust (the “Trust”), which was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on October 11, 2013. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and the offering of the Funds’ shares (“Shares”) is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Each Fund is considered diversified under the 1940 Act. Each Fund qualifies as an investment company as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946-Financial Services-Investment Companies.


Ticker	Commencement of Operations	Creation Unit Size	Listing Exchange
ITAN	June 28, 2021	10,000	NYSE Arca, Inc.
DTAN	September 9, 2024	10,000	NYSE Arca, Inc.

Market prices for the shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). Each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in blocks of shares, called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in share amounts less than a Creation Unit. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund. Shares of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is a participant of a clearing agency registered with the SEC, which has a written agreement with the Trust or one of its service providers that allows the authorized participant to place orders for the purchase and redemption of creation units. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from a Fund. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

Authorized Participants may be required to pay a transaction fee to compensate the Trust or its custodian for costs incurred in connection with creation and redemption transactions. Certain transactions consisting all or partially of cash may also be subject to a variable charge, which is payable to the relevant Fund, of up to 2.00% of the value of the order in addition to the transaction fee. A Fund may determine to waive the variable charge on certain orders when such waiver is determined to be in the best interests of Fund shareholders. Transaction fees received by a Fund, if any, are displayed in the Capital Share Transactions sections of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

The end of the reporting period for each Fund is November 30, 2024, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is from June 1, 2024 to November 30, 2024 for ITAN and September 9, 2024 to November 30, 2024 for DTAN (the “current fiscal period”).

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

A.Security Valuation. Equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange, except those listed on the NASDAQ Global Market® (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded or NASDAQ security does not trade, then the most recent quoted bid for exchange-traded or the mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask price for NASDAQ securities will be used. Equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are generally valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used. Prices denominated in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the current exchange rate, which approximates fair value. Redeemable securities issued by open-end investment companies are valued at the investment company’s applicable net asset

SPARKLINE CAPITAL ETFs

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
November 30, 2024 (Unaudited)

value, with the exception of exchange-traded open-end investment companies which are priced as equity securities. Fair values for long-term debt securities, including asset-backed securities (“ABS”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”), collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”), corporate obligations, whole loans, and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are normally determined on the basis of valuations provided by independent pricing services. Vendors typically value such securities based on one or more inputs, including but not limited to, benchmark yields, transactions, bids, offers, quotations from dealers and trading systems, new issues, spreads and other relationships observed in the markets among comparable securities; and pricing models such as yield measurers calculated using factors such as cash flows, financial or collateral performance and other reference data. In addition to these inputs, MBS and ABS may utilize cash flows, prepayment information, default rates, delinquency and loss assumptions, collateral characteristics, credit enhancements and specific deal information. Reverse repurchase agreements are priced at their acquisition cost, and assessed for credit adjustments, which represents fair value. Futures contracts are carried at fair value using the primary exchange’s closing (settlement) price.

Subject to its oversight, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has delegated primary responsibility for determining or causing to be determined the value of the Fund’s investments to Empowered Funds, LLC dba EA Advisers (the “Adviser”), pursuant to the Trust’s valuation policy and procedures, which have been adopted by the Trust and approved by the Board. In accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board designated the Adviser as the “valuation designee” of each Fund. If the Adviser, as valuation designee, determines that reliable market quotations are not readily available for an investment, the investment is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with the Trust’s fair valuation policy and procedures. The Adviser will provide the Board with periodic reports, no less frequently than quarterly, that discuss the functioning of the valuation process, if applicable, and that identify issues and valuation problems that have arisen, if any. As appropriate, the Adviser and the Board will review any securities valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Trust’s valuation policies during these periodic reports. The use of fair value pricing by the Funds may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations. As of current fiscal period, the Funds did not hold any securities that required fair valuation due to unobservable inputs.

As described above, the Funds may use various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Refer to the Schedule of Investments for further disaggregation of investment categories.

During the current fiscal period, the Funds did not invest in any Level 3 investments and recognized no transfers to/from Level 3. Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

B.Foreign Currency. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts using the spot rate of exchange at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Funds isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. That portion of gains (losses) attributable to the changes in market prices and the portion of gains (losses) attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates are included on the “Statement of Operations” under “Net realized gain (loss) – Foreign currency.”

Each Fund reports net realized foreign exchange gains or losses that arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal year-end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

C.Federal Income Taxes. The Funds’ policy is to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Each Fund plans to file U.S. Federal and various state and local tax returns.

Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal

SPARKLINE CAPITAL ETFs

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
November 30, 2024 (Unaudited)

income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expenses in the Statements of Operations. During the current fiscal period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

D.Security Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations.

Distributions received from a Funds’ investments in REITs and MLPs may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain, or return of capital. The proper characterization of such distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, the Funds must use estimates in reporting the character of their income and distributions for financial statement purposes. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. The actual character of distributions to each Fund’s shareholders will be reflected on the Form 1099 received by shareholders after the end of the calendar year. Due to the nature of such investments, a portion of the distributions received by each Fund’s shareholders may represent a return of capital.

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income for each Fund are declared and paid on a quarterly basis and distributions to shareholders from net realized gains on securities normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Each Fund may distribute more frequently, if necessary, for tax purposes.

E.Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F.Share Valuation. The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash and other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed for regular trading. The offering and redemption price per share for each Fund is equal to the Fund’s net asset value per share.

G.Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. Additionally, as is customary, the Trust’s organizational documents permit the Trust to indemnify its officers and trustees against certain liabilities under certain circumstances. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be against the Funds that have not yet occurred. As of the date of this Report, no claim has been made for indemnification pursuant to any such agreement of the Funds.

H.Reclassification of Capital Accounts. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. In addition, the Funds realized net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions, in which shareholders exchanged Fund shares for securities held by the Funds rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the Funds, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from distributable earnings to paid-in capital. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, the following table shows the reclassifications made in ITAN.


	Distributable Earnings		Paid-in Capital
ITAN	$	(2,736,168)	$	2,736,168

DTAN commenced operations on September 9, 2024; therefore, no reclassifications have been made yet.

NOTE 3 – COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS.

Empowered Funds, LLC dba EA Advisers (the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. Pursuant to investment advisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the Adviser, the Adviser provides investment advice to the Funds and oversees the day-to-day operations of the Funds, subject to the direction and control of the Board and the officers of the Trust. Under the Advisory Agreements, the Adviser is also responsible for arranging transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting, and other non-distribution related services necessary for the Funds to operate. The Adviser administers the Funds’ business affairs, provides office facilities and equipment and certain clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services. The Adviser agrees to pay all expenses incurred by the Funds except for the fee paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, payments under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1, brokerage expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest (including borrowing costs), litigation expense (including class action-related services) and other non-routine or extraordinary expenses. The table below represents the annual rate based on average daily net assets that each Fund pays the Adviser monthly:


ITAN						0.50%
DTAN						0.55%

Sparkline Capital LP (the “Sub-Adviser”) serves as a non-discretionary investment sub-adviser to the Funds. Pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) among the Trust, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for determining the investment exposures for the Funds, subject to the overall supervision and oversight of the Adviser and the Board.

At a Board meeting held September 5-6, 2024, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Trustees”), including each Trustee who is not an “interested person” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act, approved the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements for DTAN.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“Fund Services” or “Administrator”), doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, acts as the Fund’s Administrator and, in that capacity, performs various administrative and accounting services for the Fund. The Administrator prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Fund, including regulatory compliance monitoring and financial reporting; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the trustees; monitors the activities of the Fund’s Custodian, transfer agent and fund accountant. Fund Services also serves as the transfer agent and fund accountant to the Fund. U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”), an affiliate of the Administrator, serves as the Fund’s Custodian.

The Custodian acts as the securities lending agent (the “Securities Lending Agent”) for the Fund.

NOTE 4 – SECURITIES LENDING

Each Fund may lend up to 331/3% of the value of the securities in their portfolios to brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals) under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by the Securities Lending Agent. The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least 102% of the value of any domestic loaned securities at the time of the loan, plus accrued interest. The use of loans of foreign securities, which are denominated and payable in U.S. dollars, shall be collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan plus accrued interest. The Funds receive compensation in the form of fees and earn interest on the cash collateral. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. The Funds continue to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing period. Gain or loss on the value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of the Funds. The Funds have the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recall the securities from the borrower on demand.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
November 30, 2024 (Unaudited)

The securities lending agreement provides that, in the event of a borrower’s material default, the Securities Lending Agent shall take all actions the Securities Lending Agent deems appropriate to liquidate the collateral, purchase replacement securities at the Securities Lending Agent’s expense, or pay the Fund an amount equal to the market value of the loaned securities, subject to certain limitations which are set forth in detail in the securities lending agreement between the Fund and the Securities Lending Agent.

During the current fiscal period, only ITAN had loaned securities and received cash collateral for the loans. The cash collateral was invested by the Securities Lending Agent in accordance with the Trust approved investment guidelines. Those guidelines require the cash collateral to be invested in readily marketable, high quality, short-term obligations; however, such investments are subject to risk of payment delays or default on the part of the issuer or counterparty or otherwise may not generate sufficient interest to support the costs associated with securities lending. Each Fund could also experience delays in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities, although the Fund is indemnified from this risk by contract with the Securities Lending Agent.

As of the end of the current fiscal period, there were no securities on loan for the Funds.

The interest income earned by ITAN on the investment of cash collateral received from borrowers for the securities loaned to them (“Securities Lending Income, Net") is reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. Net securities lending income earned on collateral investments and recognized by the Fund during the current fiscal period was $25 for ITAN.

Due to the absence of a master netting agreement related to the Funds’ participation in securities lending, no additional offsetting disclosures have been made on behalf of the Funds for the total borrowings listed above.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts.

The Board (the members of which are referred to as “Trustees”) of the EA Series Trust (the “Trust”) met in-person on September 5-6, 2024 to consider the approval of the Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Sparkline International Intangible Value ETF (the “Fund”), and Empowered Funds, LLC dba EA Advisers (the “Adviser”), as well as to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and Sparkline Capital LP (the “Sub-Adviser”), each for an initial two-year term. In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, reviewed and considered materials furnished by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement. In connection with considering the approval of both the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), met in executive session with counsel to the Trust, who provided assistance and advice. In reaching the decision to approve both the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered and reviewed information provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, including among other things information about their respective personnel, operations, financial condition, and compliance and risk management. The Board discussed the Sub-Adviser’s ability to manage three additional funds, noting that the Sub-Adviser confirmed that due to the similarities of the investment selection process for the Fund, this addition will not overextend the firm’s resources. The Board also reviewed the proposed Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement. During its review and consideration, the Board focused on and reviewed the factors it deemed relevant, including:

Nature, Quality, and Extent of Services. The Board was presented with and considered information concerning the nature, quality, and extent of the overall services expected to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund. In this connection, the Board considered the responsibilities of the Adviser, recognizing that the Adviser had invested significant time and effort in structuring the Trust and the Fund, and arranging service providers for the Fund. In addition, the Board considered that the Adviser is responsible for providing investment advisory oversight services to the Fund, executing all Fund transactions, monitoring compliance with the Fund’s objectives, policies and restrictions, and carrying out directives of the Board. The Board also considered the services expected to be provided by the Adviser in the oversight of the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent and custodian. In addition, the Board evaluated the integrity of each of the Adviser’s and the Sub-Adviser’s personnel, the experience of the portfolio manager in managing assets and the adequacy of each of the Adviser’s and the Sub-Adviser’s resources to perform the services provided under the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board also considered the Adviser’s ongoing oversight responsibilities vis-à-vis the Sub-Adviser.

Performance. Performance information was not available for the Fund as it had not yet commenced investment operations.

Comparative Fees and Expenses. In considering the advisory fees and sub-advisory fees, the Board reviewed and considered the fees in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services expected to be provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, respectively. With respect to the advisory fees and expense ratio for the Fund, the Board also considered the fees and expense ratio versus the fees and expenses charged to other comparable ETFs. The Board also considered the allocation of fees between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser.

The Board compared the Fund’s gross total expense ratio, net total expense ratio, and management fee to those of its respective peer group, as shown in the third-party report.

Sparkline International Intangible Value ETF (DTAN) – The Fund’s gross total expense ratio (0.55%) was slightly higher than the peer group average (0.52%); the Fund’s net total expense ratio (0.55%) was higher than the peer group average (0.39%); and the Fund’s management fee (0.55%) was higher than the peer group average (0.36%).

The Board considered that the Fund’s fee arrangement in which the Adviser is responsible for paying most of the Fund’s operating expenses out of its resources, noting that comparisons with the Fund’s overall expense ratio may be more relevant than comparisons to management fees only. They stated that such a comparison demonstrates the Fund’s overall cost structure is within the range of expense ratios of its respective peers.

The Board considered, among other information, the data provided in a third-party report comparing the Fund’s proposed fees to those of other ETFs that the third-party deemed to be comparable to the Fund. Fee information was provided in quartiles, ranging from quartile one (the least expensive) to quartile four (the most expensive). This data included a comparison of the Fund’s anticipated expense ratio against its respective peers. The Fund’s total expense ratio (for both gross and net) and management fee were in the following quartiles:


Fund	Total Expense Ratio	Net Expense Ratio	Management Fee Only
DTAN	Quartile 4	Quartile 4	Quartile 4

With respect to the sub-advisory fee, the Board noted that it was payable solely out of the unitary management fee payable to the Adviser. The Board considered the representations from the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser that neither firm manages any other accounts that follow a similar strategy as the Fund. The Board was agreeable to the fee levels.

Costs and Profitability. The Board further considered information regarding the potential profits, if any, that may be realized by each of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser in connection with providing their respective services to the Fund. The Board reviewed estimated profit and loss information provided by each of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Fund and estimated data regarding the proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees. The Board also reviewed the costs associated with the personnel, systems and equipment necessary to manage the Fund and to meet the regulatory and compliance requirements adopted by the SEC and other regulatory bodies. The Board also considered other expenses of the Fund that the Adviser would pay in accordance with the Advisory Agreement. The Board took into consideration that, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser agreed to pay all expenses incurred by the Fund except for the fees paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, payments under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1, brokerage expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest (including borrowing costs), the fees and expenses associated with the Fund’s securities lending program, litigation expenses and other non-routine or extraordinary expenses. The Board also considered the respective financial obligations of the Adviser, as well as the Sub-Adviser, who serves as the sponsor of the Fund. The Board also considered the Fund’s projected asset totals over the first year of operations, noting that based on the projected asset totals the Adviser and Sub-Adviser will not be profitable as it relates to their respective advisory fee arrangements. The Board discussed the financial condition of the Sub-Adviser, noting that the Sub-Adviser has sufficient capital to maintain its commitment to the Fund.

Other Benefits. The Board further considered the extent to which the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser might derive ancillary benefits from the Fund’s operations. For example, the Adviser may engage in soft dollar transactions in the future, although it did not currently plan to do so. In addition, the Adviser may benefit from continued growth in the Trust by potentially negotiating better fee arrangements with key vendors serving the Fund and other series in the Trust.

Economies of Scale. The Board also considered whether economies of scale would be realized by the Fund as the Fund’s assets grow larger, including the extent to which this is reflected in the level of fees to be charged. The Board also noted that the proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees do not include breakpoints but concluded that it was premature to meaningfully evaluate potential economies of scale given that the Fund is new.

Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement; rather, the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined that the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the compensation payable under each Agreement, were fair and reasonable to the Fund. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined that the approval of each of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
