Definitions

Target Outcome Period - The period between when the FLEX Options were purchased and when they will expire.

Gross - Before fees, expenses and taxes.

Net - After fees and expenses, excluding brokerage commissions, trading fees, taxes and extraordinary expenses not included in the Fund's management fee.

Buffer - The amount of downside protection the fund seeks to provide if held for the full Target Outcome Period. For Max Buffer ETFs, if the fund is not able to set the buffer to the percentage indicated, then it would seek the maximum buffer that allows for a cap of 7%. If it can set the buffer to the indicated percentage, it will seek a cap that exceeds 7%. When conditions prevent the MAX buffer ETF from achieving the 7% cap, it will lower the cap range to seek to produce a minimum buffer of 20%.

Cap - Maximum possible return that the fund can provide at the end of the Target Outcome Period.

Distribution Rate - For tax purposes, distributions may consist of ordinary income, capital gains or return of capital. A return of capital will reduce an investor's principle investment.

Cap Range/Distribution Rate Range - Any cap or distribution ranges shown reflect the high and low upside cap or distribution rate based on model pricing for the options package representing a fund’s underlying strategy as of the date shown. The ranges are not actual upside caps or distribution rates but are based on a model that seeks to replicate similar market factors utilized when pricing this option trade for market participants quoting FLEX Options. The actual upside cap or distribution rate for a fund will be determined at the inception date of the Target Outcome Period and may be higher or lower than the ranges shown due to prevailing market conditions at the time of the trade. The cap or distribution rate investors will experience may be different than what is illustrated herein. For tax purposes, distributions from a Buffer & Premium Income ETF may consist of ordinary income, capital gains or return of capital. A return of capital will reduce an investor’s principal investment.

Upside Deductible - Minimum price return the reference asset must achieve for the Fund to participate in positive returns.

Upside Rate of Return after Deductible - The predetermined upside participation rate for the Fund for every 1% price return of the Reference Asset after the Upside Deductible End over the Outcome Period.

Reference Asset - The underlying ETF which the fund provides exposure to, and which the FLEX Options prices are based on.

EFA - The iShares MSCI EAFE ETF is an exchange-traded fund based on the MSCI EAFE Index, which is composed of large- and mid-capitalization developed market equities, excluding the U.S. and Canada.

GLD - The SPDR® Gold Trust is an exchange-traded investment trust that holds physical gold bars and seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the price performance of gold bullion.

QQQ - Invesco QQQ Trust^SM, Series 1 is an exchange-traded fund based on the Nasdaq-100 Index®, which is an unmanaged index that includes 100 of the largest domestic and international nonfinancial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market based on market capitalization.

SPY - SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust is an exchange-traded fund based on the S&P 500 Index, which is an unmanaged index of 500 companies used to measure large-cap U.S. stock market performance.

IWM - IShares Russell 2000 ETF is an exchange-traded fund based on the Russell 2000 Index which is composed of small-capitalization U.S. equities.

RSP - The Invesco S&P 500® Equal Weight ETF (RSP) is an exchange-traded fund that is designed to track the returns of the S&P 500® Equal Weight Index. The S&P 500® Equal Weight Index is designed to be a size neutral version of the S&P 500® Index, an unmanaged index of 500 companies used to measure large-cap U.S. stock market performance.

EEM - iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF is an exchange-traded fund based on the MSCI Emerging Markets Index that seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of large- and mid-capitalization emerging market equities.

Target Outcome Buffer & Premium Income Funds

Seek to provide a level of protection in down markets through a downside buffer while providing monthly income potential.

Target Outcome Enhance & Moderate Funds

Seek to provide returns of approximately twice any positive price return of the underlying reference asset while also providing a downside buffer.

Target Outcome Max Buffer Funds

Seek to maximize the buffer against losses while setting the predetermined upside cap of at least 7%. When conditions prevent them from achieving a 7% cap, the fund will lower the cap range to seek to produce a minimum buffer of at least 20%.

Target Growth

Seek to enhance returns for a targeted upside range.

Target Income Funds

Seek to provide a consistent level of income while maintaining the opportunity for price appreciation.

Fund of Target Outcome Funds

While not themselves Target Outcome Funds, each "Fund of Funds" invests in a portfolio of underlying Target Outcome Buffer ETFs. Any buffer is provided only by the underlying Target Outcome Buffer ETFs in which a Fund of Funds invests. The Funds of Funds themselves do not provide any buffer against losses. Each Fund of Funds simply seeks to provide diversified exposure to all the underlying Target Outcome Buffer ETFs in a single investment.
