Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Fund has not yet commenced operations and therefore does not have any portfolio turnover information available.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objectives through the use of a call option strategy that combines a long position in SPY, an exchange-traded fund designed to track the performance of the S&P 500® Index, with short positions in certain call options. The strategy is a daily covered call option strategy that sells “out of the money” call options with zero days to expiration each day, known as a “daily call”. Daily call options having zero days to expiration are also known as “0DTE” options. In general, an option is a contract that gives the purchaser of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from the seller (writer) of the option the security underlying the option at a specified exercise price (the “strike price”) at a specified expiration date. Through this call option strategy, the Fund sells or “writes” exchange-traded call options to generate income from option premiums. These may include but are not limited to selling call options on SPY, or selling call options on the S&P 500® Index (“SPX”) or selling Cboe Mini-SPX Index call options (“XSP”). XSP options are designed to track the S&P 500® Index but trade at a smaller size compared to a standard SPX options contract.

The Fund will receive premium income for each call option sold. The expiration dates at the time of purchase for the Fund’s sold call options will range from the same day to one week. While the Fund expects to primarily invest in daily or 0DTE call options, the Fund may use options expiring weekly to accommodate defensive actions, if needed to prevent against a loss of premium or a capital loss. Compared to a similar strategy using monthly call options, a strategy using daily call options provides a higher income potential and a more stable income level in volatile markets. The Fund’s use of daily or 0DTE call options provides a higher likelihood of participating more closely in the capital performance of the underlying security as compared to covered call strategies with longer time horizons. However, it is important to note that the sale of these call options to generate income will limit the Fund’s ability to participate in increases in value of SPY beyond a certain point. If the value of SPY increases, the above-referenced

3

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | AUGUST 13, 2024

TAPPALPHA SPY GROWTH & DAILY INCOME ETF

 

long exposure would allow the Fund to experience similar percentage gains. However, if SPY appreciates in value beyond the strike price of the call option contracts that the Fund has sold to generate income, the Fund will lose money on those short call positions, and the losses will, in turn, limit the upside return of the Fund’s long exposure. As a result, the Fund’s overall strategy (i.e., the combination of the long exposure to SPY and the sold 0DTE call positions) will limit the Fund’s participation in gains of SPY beyond a certain point. This strategy effectively converts a portion of the potential upside price return growth of SPY into current income.

To implement the Fund’s investment strategy, at the beginning of each trading day, the Adviser sells “out-of-the-money” same day call options on SPY, SPX or XSP between 0% and 5% “out of the money” at the time of purchase. The strike price of an option is the price at which the underlying security can be bought or sold. The difference between the option’s strike price and the price of the underlying security determines if an option is “out of the money” or “in the money”. A call option is “out of the money” if the strike price of the option is higher than the current price of the underlying security. A call option is “in the money” if the strike price of the option is lower than the current price of the underlying security. At the expiration date, if the option is “in-the-money”, the buyer will typically exercise the option, benefiting from the ability to purchase the underlying security from the seller at a price lower than the current market price. If the option is “out-of-the-money”, the option likely will not be exercised, benefiting the seller who retains the underlying security. The tradeoff with respect to purchasing same day call options between 0% and 5% “out of the money” is, the closer the option position to the price of the underlying security, the larger the option premium, but the lower the cap is set to participate in the capital appreciation of the underlying security. The higher it is set, the less income is generated from premiums, but the higher the ceiling is to participate in the capital appreciation of the underlying security.

With respect to the Fund’s covered call options, the Adviser covers the entire notional value of the underlying security. However, the Fund’s notional exposure will drift during each trading day. The notional value of the options will not be permitted to deviate with respect to the underlying security by plus or minus more than 5%. The Fund may reallocate its portfolio at the end of each trading day. That is, the Fund may allow each day’s options to expire and then settle them in cash. The Fund may also close an options position before its expiration at the end of a trading day if the Adviser believes the option has yielded a majority of its potential return, and then open another option that expires the same day to generate additional premium, or to roll the option to prevent its expiry in the money.

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | AUGUST 13, 2024

TAPPALPHA SPY GROWTH & DAILY INCOME ETF

 

The long component of the strategy consists of investments in SPY. SPY is not actively managed and holds a portfolio of common stocks that are included in the S&P 500® Index with the weight of each stock in SPY substantially corresponding to the weight of such stock in the Index. The Fund is designed to provide investors with exposure to the performance associated with SPY, subject to a limit on potential gains, while providing incremental income. The Fund is managed in a way that seeks, under normal circumstances, to provide monthly distributions from a stream of income based on call options premiums received. There is no guarantee, however, that the Fund will make a distribution in any given month, and the amounts of the distribution may vary greatly from one distribution to the next. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments and economic interests that provide exposure to SPY (“80% Investment Policy”). “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.

The Fund will also hold short-term U.S. Treasury securities as collateral in connection with the Fund’s options strategy and to generate income. The income generated by these securities will be influenced by interest rates at the time of investment. Further income, in the form of option premiums received from sales of call options, will be primarily influenced by the volatility of the Index’s value, although other factors, including interest rates, will also impact the level of income.

Investment Process: In managing the equity portion of the Fund’s portfolio, the Adviser has developed a unique approach to daily “out-of-the-money” covered call options strategy, powered by the Adviser’s proprietary research process.

In pursuing the Fund’s investment strategy, the Adviser considers a number of criteria including:

Income Generation: The Adviser’s technology identifies the optimal strike price daily, factoring in market volatility, historical data, planned market events, and other dynamic parameters. This approach not only increases the potential for consistent, additive income generation but also retains the opportunity for capital appreciation.

Maximized Theta Decay: By writing call options at the beginning of each trading day that expire the same day, the Adviser seeks to capitalize on the rapid time decay of the options. This refers to the circumstance in which the extrinsic value of an option (the difference between the market price of an option and its intrinsic value) diminishes as it approaches its expiration date, all else being equal. Out-of-the-money options expiring the same day are less likely to end up in-the-money at expiration than longer-term options. A shift into in-the-money option positions means

5

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | AUGUST 13, 2024

TAPPALPHA SPY GROWTH & DAILY INCOME ETF

 

the strike price of the option is lower than the price of the underlying security in which case the Fund could incur a loss. Options expiring in one week are not designed to maximize theta decay.

Reduced Time Risk: By focusing on options with short-term expirations (that is one day), the Adviser seeks to minimize the chances that the intrinsic value of the option (the difference between an option’s strike price and the underlying asset’s price) adversely affect the option’s value.

Flexibility: As market conditions change, the Adviser will adjust its position daily to re-align with the underlying security’s price trajectory. This approach offers the best chance to participate in both the underlying security’s performance and the simultaneous harvesting of daily options premiums.

The Fund’s investment strategies may involve active and frequent trading resulting in high portfolio turnover.

An investment in the Fund is not an investment in SPY or the S&P 500® Index, nor is the Fund a traditionally passively managed index fund. The Fund does not invest directly in the S&P 500® Index or in any companies that comprise the Index. Neither the Fund nor any of its affiliates makes any representation to you as to the performance of the S&P 500® Index.

The Fund, Trust, Adviser, and Sub-Adviser are not affiliated with nor endorsed by SPY or the S&P 500® Index.

Index Overview: The S&P 500® Index is a widely recognized benchmark index that tracks the performance of 500 of the largest U.S.- based companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq. These companies represent approximately 80% of the total U.S. equities market by capitalization, making it a large-cap index. The S&P 500® Index includes 500 selected companies, all of which are listed on national stock exchanges and spans a broad range of major sectors. The five largest sectors in the Index as of December 29, 2023 were information technology, financials, healthcare, consumer discretionary and industrials. This distribution can vary over time as the market value of these sectors change. Regarding volatility, the S&P 500® Index, like all market indices, has experienced periods of significant daily price movements. However, the specific degree of volatility can vary and is subject to change based on overall market conditions. Despite these periods of volatility, the Index has shown long-term growth over its history.

Principal Risks

The principal risks affecting shareholders’ investments in the Fund including the risks of the investment strategies of the Index are set forth below. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any government agency. The Fund’s Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund may not achieve its investment objectives.

Referenced Index Risk. The Fund invests in options contracts that are based on the value of the Index, including SPX and XSP options. This subjects the Fund to certain of the same risks as if it owned shares of companies that comprised the Index, even though it does not own shares of companies in the Index. The Fund will have exposure to declines in the Index. The Fund is subject to potential losses if the Index loses value, which may not be offset by income received by the Fund. By virtue of the Fund’s investments in options contracts that are based on the value of the Index, the Fund may also be subject to the following risks:

Indirect Investment Risk. The Index is not affiliated with the Trust, the Fund, the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, or their respective affiliates and is not involved with this offering in any way. Investors in the Fund will not have the right to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the companies that comprise the Index but will be subject to declines in the performance of the Index.

Index Trading Risk. The trading price of the Index may be highly volatile and could continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors. The stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies.

S&P 500® Index Risk. The Index, which includes a broad swath of large U.S. companies, is primarily exposed to overall economic and market conditions. Recession, inflation, and changes in interest rates can significantly impact the index’s performance. Furthermore, despite its diverse representation, a downturn in a major sector such as technology or financials could notably affect the Index. Geopolitical risks and unexpected global events, like pandemics, can introduce volatility and uncertainty.

Investment Risks of Investing in SPY

The risks with respect to SPY’s investment strategies are as follows:

Passive Strategy/Index Risk. SPY is not actively managed. Rather, SPY attempts to track the performance of an unmanaged index of securities. This differs from an actively managed fund, which typically seeks to outperform a benchmark index. As a result, SPY will hold constituent securities of the Index regardless of the current or projected performance of a specific security or a particular industry or market sector. Maintaining investments in securities regardless of market conditions or the performance of individual securities could cause SPY’s return to be lower than if SPY employed an active strategy.

Index Tracking Risk. While SPY is intended to track the performance of the S&P 500® Index (the “Index”) as closely as possible (i.e., to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index), SPY’s return may not match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of the Index due to expenses and transaction costs incurred in adjusting the Portfolio. In addition, it is possible that SPY may not always fully replicate the performance of the Index due to the unavailability of certain Index Securities in the secondary market or due to other extraordinary circumstances (e.g., if trading in a security has been halted).

Equity Investing and Market Risk. An investment SPY involves risks similar to those of investing in any fund of equity securities, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates, perceived trends in securities prices, war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious disease or other public health issues. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious disease or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact SPY and its investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to SPYs net asset value.

An investment in SPY is subject to the risks of any investment in a broadly based portfolio of equity securities, including the risk that the general level of stock prices may decline, thereby adversely affecting the value of such investment. The value of SPYs portfolio securities may fluctuate in accordance with changes in the financial condition of the issuers of portfolio securities, the value of equity securities generally and other factors. The identity and weighting of Index Securities and the portfolio securities change from time to time.

The financial condition of issuers of SPYs portfolio securities may become impaired or the general condition of the stock market may deteriorate, either of which may cause a decrease in the value of SPY thus in the value of its

8

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | AUGUST 13, 2024

TAPPALPHA SPY GROWTH & DAILY INCOME ETF

 

shares. Since SPY is not actively managed, the adverse financial condition of an issuer will not result in its elimination from the portfolio unless such issuer is removed from the Index. Equity securities are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change.

There can be no assurance that the issuers of portfolio securities will pay dividends. Distributions generally depend upon the declaration of dividends by the issuers of portfolio securities, and the declaration of such dividends generally depends upon various factors, including the financial condition of the issuers and general economic conditions.

Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.

Covered Call Options Strategy Risk. When the Fund sells call options, it receives cash but limits its opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of the underlying security prior to the expiration of the options. The maximum potential gain on the underlying security will be equal to the difference between the strike price and the purchase price of the underlying security at the time the option is written, plus the premium received. In a rising market, the option may

9

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | AUGUST 13, 2024

TAPPALPHA SPY GROWTH & DAILY INCOME ETF

 

require the underlying security to be sold at an exercise price that is lower than would be received if the underlying security was sold at the market price. The Fund realizes a gain in the amount of the premium received, but because there may have been a decline (unrealized loss) in the market value of the underlying security during the option period, the unrealized loss realized may exceed such gain. If the underlying security declines by more than the option premium the Fund receives, there will be a loss on the overall position. For the Fund in particular, the value of the options contracts in which it invests are substantially influenced by the value of the Index.

Counterparty Risk. The Fund is subject to counterparty risk by virtue of its investments in options contracts. Transactions in some types of derivatives, including options, are required to be centrally cleared (“cleared derivatives”). In cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to and receive payments from a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. The Fund is subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on the Fund’s behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member’s default. This risk is greater for the Fund as it seeks to hold options contracts on a single security, and not a broader range of options contracts, which may limit the number of clearing members that are willing to transact on the Fund’s behalf. If a clearing member defaults the Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction entered into by the Fund with the clearing member. If the Fund cannot find a clearing member to transact with on the Fund’s behalf, the Fund may be unable to effectively implement its investment strategy.

Other Investment Companies Risk: To the extent that the Fund invests in other ETFs or investment companies, the value of an investment in the Fund is based on the performance of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests and the allocation of its assets among those ETFs or investment companies. The underlying ETFs and investment companies may change their investment goals, policies or practices and there can be no assurance that the underlying ETFs or investment companies will achieve their respective investment goals. Because the Fund invests in ETFs and other investment companies, shareholders indirectly bear a proportionate share of the expenses charged by the underlying funds in which it invests which impacts the Fund’s performance. The principal risks of an investment in the Fund include the principal risks of investing in the underlying ETFs and investment companies.

10

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | AUGUST 13, 2024

TAPPALPHA SPY GROWTH & DAILY INCOME ETF

 

The Fund is exposed to the risks of the underlying ETFs and investment companies in which it invests in direct proportion to the amount of assets the Fund allocates to each underlying fund. One underlying fund may buy the same security that another underlying fund is selling. You would indirectly bear the costs of both trades. In addition, you may receive taxable gains from portfolio transactions by the underlying funds, as well as taxable gains from the Fund’s transactions in shares of the underlying funds. The Fund’s ability to achieve its investment goal depends, in part, upon the- Adviser’s skill in selecting an optimal mix of underlying funds.

U.S. Government and U.S. Agency Obligations Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. U.S. Government obligations include securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, such as the U.S. Treasury. Payment of principal and interest on U.S. Government obligations may be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States or may be backed solely by the issuing or guaranteeing agency or instrumentality itself. In the latter case, the investor must look principally to the agency or instrumentality issuing or guaranteeing the obligation for ultimate repayment, which agency or instrumentality may be privately owned. There can be no assurance that the U.S. Government would provide financial support to its agencies or instrumentalities (including government-sponsored enterprises) where it is not obligated to do so.

ETF Risks. The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it is exposed to the following risks:

Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, shares of the Fund (“Shares”) may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.

Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund’s investment strategy may require it to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or

11

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | AUGUST 13, 2024

TAPPALPHA SPY GROWTH & DAILY INCOME ETF

 

unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was used.

Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.

Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any losses caused by a decrease in NAV.

Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Fund Shares.

High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may incur high portfolio turnover to manage the Fund’s investment exposure. Additionally, active market trading of the Fund’s Shares may cause more frequent creation or redemption activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of portfolio transactions increase brokerage and other transaction costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains. Each of these factors could have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund.

12

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS | AUGUST 13, 2024

TAPPALPHA SPY GROWTH & DAILY INCOME ETF

 

New Fund Risk. As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund has no operating history and currently has fewer assets than larger funds. Like other new funds, large inflows and outflows may impact the Fund’s market exposure for limited periods of time. This impact may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of market movement during the period affected.

New Adviser Risk. The Adviser is newly formed and has not previously managed an ETF. Accordingly, investors in the Fund bear the risk that the Adviser’s inexperience may limit its effectiveness.

Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act. As a result, the Fund is only limited as to the percentage of its assets which may be invested in the securities of any one issuer by the diversification requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). A decline in the value of an investment in a single issuer could cause a Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Fund held a more diversified portfolio. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by entering into one or more options contracts. The Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers and/or in options contracts with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. As a result, the Fund may experience increased volatility and be more susceptible to a single economic or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers and/or counterparties.

Performance History

The Fund is new and does not have a full calendar year of performance history. In the future, performance information will be presented in this section of the Prospectus. Performance information will contain a bar chart and table that provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing the Fund’s average annual returns for certain time periods as compared to a broad measure of market performance. Investors should be aware that past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Investment Adviser and Sub-Adviser

Tapp Finance, Inc., d/b/a TappAlpha (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the Fund.

Tuttle Capital Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) is the sub-adviser to the Fund.

Portfolio Manager

Si Katara, Portfolio Manager of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s portfolio manager since its inception.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares

The Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 10,000 shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically conducted in exchange for the deposit or delivery of in-kind securities and/or cash. Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e., NASDAQ Stock Market®). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the Fund’s website at www.tappalphafunds.com.

Tax Information

The Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account in which case withdrawals will be taxed.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (e.g., a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
