Hello Mr./Mrs. <Last Name>. My name is <Agent’s Name>. I’m calling on a recorded line regarding the NEOS ETF Trust Special Meeting of Shareholders taking place on November 3, 2026.

 

As of today, we have not received your vote. With only a few days remaining before the meeting, the Board has authorized us to assist shareholders by securely capturing votes by phone to ensure their shares are represented.

 

Shareholders are being asked to vote to approve a new investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, and NEOS Investment Management, LLC, in connection with NEOS Investments joining Goldman Sachs Asset Management, and to elect fourteen nominees to the Board of Trustees of NEOS ETF Trust. The Board of Trustees recommends a “FOR” vote on both proposals. Would you like to vote along with the Board’s recommendation?

 

Our records indicate that you have yet to register a vote for your position. Due to the lack of time between now and the meeting date, the Board has given authorization to register the Shareholder’s vote by phone.
