Special meetings of unitholders (each, a “Meeting” and collectively, the “Meetings“) of the ETFs will be held at the offices of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, Commerce Court West, 199 Bay Street, Suite 4000, Toronto, Ontario M5L 1A9 on November 26, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time). Unitholders of record of each ETF at the close of business on October 14, 2026, the record date for the Meetings, will be entitled to receive notice of and vote at the applicable Meeting.

Full details regarding the Meetings, the Proposed Changes, and other changes related to the Proposed Changes are included in a management information circular dated October 21, 2026, which will be available to unitholders of the ETFs at www.sedarplus.ca and www.GlobalX.ca. If all required approvals are obtained, the Proposed Changes will be implemented as soon as practicable after the Meetings.

The decision to propose the Proposed Changes follows an extensive review by the Manager of the activities of each ETF. The Manager has determined that it would be in the best interests of the ETFs and their Unitholders to approve the Proposed Changes.

Proposed Changes of Investment Objectives

The current and proposed investment objectives for each ETF are as follows:

As set forth in the above proposed changes to the investment objectives of RBOT, HLIT and COPP, if the Proposed Changes are approved and implemented, RBOT, HLIT and COPP will no longer seek to hedge the U.S. dollar value of their portfolios to the Canadian dollar at all times as part of their fundamental investment objectives.

Changes to ETF Names

If the Proposed Changes are approved and implemented, the Manager intends to change the names of the following ETFs to the names set forth in the following table, or to such other names as the Manager deems appropriate at the time the Proposed Changes are implemented.

The current distribution policy for SAFE will remain unchanged.

Notice and Access

As permitted under Canadian securities legislation, the Manager has opted to use a notice-and-access procedure (the “Notice-and-Access Procedure“) to reduce the volume of paper in the materials distributed for the Meetings and to potentially encourage a higher voting participation rate among unitholders of the ETFs. The Manager is sending proxy-related materials using the Notice-and-Access Procedure directly to unitholders, which includes registered unitholders and beneficial unitholders whose securities are held by an intermediary.
