The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate. An investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance current to the most recent month-end can be obtained by calling 844-802-4004. Short term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the fund’s future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns. Standardized performance for each Fund is available at FEPI, AIPI and CEPI.
†OTM-ness. OTM means out-of-the-money. A call option is out-of-the-money when its strike price is above the current market price of the underlying security. OTM-ness is calculated as the percentage difference between the strike price of the call written and the price of the underlying security at the time the option is written: (strike price minus underlying price) divided by underlying price. Higher OTM-ness leaves more room for the underlying security to appreciate before gains are capped, and generally results in a lower premium collected.
*As of 10/31/25. The Distribution Rate is the annual yield an investor would receive if the most recently declared distribution remained the same going forward. The Distribution Rate is calculated by multiplying an ETF’s Distribution per Share by twelve (12), and dividing the resulting amount by the ETF’s most recent NAV. The Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the ETF and does not represent its total return. FEPI’s current distribution consists of 100% return of capital (ROC). AIPI and CEPI’s current distribution consist of 100% estimated return of capital (ROC). For full details on the composition of distributions, please refer to the latest 19a-1 notice.
**As of 10/31/25. The 30-Day SEC Yield represents net investment income, which excludes option income, earned by such ETF over the 30-Day period, expressed as an annual percentage rate based on such ETF’s share price at the end of the 30-Day period. The REX FANG & Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF has a gross expense ratio of 0.65%.

How It Works
Three moves, one strategy
01
Own the underlying stocks
Each fund holds the stocks within a thematic index, offering the potential for NAV appreciation.
02
Write covered calls on each name
Selling out-of-the-money (OTM) calls on every individual stock seeks to harness single name volatility for higher potential premiums.
03
Balance growth and income
The funds seek a balance of NAV appreciation and income, striving for distributing weekly payouts with no K-1 forms.
Illustrative monthly returns assuming a 7% OTM strike and monthly call premium of 2% (100% coverage). Premiums vary based on market and individual stock volatility. Hypothetical example for illustration purposes only. Investing involves risk, including loss of principal.
The Edge
Why stock level changes everything
Most covered call ETFs write one option on a broad index. REX writes calls on every individual stock.
Single name volatility has historically run higher than index volatility, because diversification dampens the index. The strategy seeks to capture that spread as premium income.
Higher Premiums
Writing on individual names seeks to capture the full implied volatility of each position.
Volatility Is the Edge
The link between implied volatility (IV), the market’s expectation of future price movement in a security expressed as an annualized percentage, and option yield is convex. Names with high IV pay disproportionately.
OTM Flexibility
Higher implied volatility (IV) lets the funds write further out-of-the-money while still seeking meaningful premium.
Natural Diversification
A basket of imperfectly correlated names avoids binary, all or nothing option outcomes.
Market Scenarios
How it behaves across regimes
From strong uptrends to downtrends, the covered call profile shifts. The strategy is built for the modest uptrend and sideways middle.
Strong Uptrend: Upside is capped at the call strike level, though income is still earned from premiums collected.
Modest Uptrend (Ideal): Both premium income and stock price appreciation below the strike level are captured.
Sideways Market: Volatility is harvested for income while the underlying position remains roughly flat.
Downtrend: Income from selling calls helps cushion losses, offsetting some or all of the price depreciation.

Single Stock Volatility
FEPI constituents: 5-year average implied volatility
Individual stock volatility has historically exceeded index level volatility. That gap is the advantage the strategy seeks to capture.

Volatility
Volatility is not a linear driver
Yield is convex, not linear
A 50% drop in implied volatility (IV) can drive a 75 to 80% decline in option premium, especially at lower IV levels.
Active strike management matters
Managing strike selection balances income against upside, even at a fixed coverage ratio.
REX targets high IV names
A concentrated approach harnesses the convex relationship between volatility and premium potential.
Why strike flexibility matters
At 25% implied volatility
Writing closer to the money may yield only about 2.5%. Moving to a 105 strike cuts that by more than half, a steep trade.
At 50% implied volatility
The same strike shift costs only about a 25% drop in yield, from roughly 5.4% to 3.9%, freeing upside with minimal income loss.
REX prioritizes high IV names
Greater strike flexibility in elevated volatility regimes seeks to maximize the balance of income and upside.

Questions
Common questions
What is a covered call ETF?
A covered call ETF holds a portfolio of stocks and sells call options against those holdings. Selling the call generates premium income. In exchange, the fund gives up some of the upside on a holding above the strike price of the option it sold.
How is the REX approach different from index level covered call funds?
Most covered call ETFs write a single option on a broad index. REX Covered Call ETFs write calls on each individual stock in the portfolio. Single name implied volatility (IV) has historically run higher than index level volatility, and the strategy seeks to capture that spread as premium income.
What does OTM-ness mean?
OTM means out-of-the-money. A call option is out-of-the-money when its strike price sits above the current market price of the underlying security. OTM-ness is the percentage difference between the strike price of the call written and the price of the underlying security at the time the option is written. Higher OTM-ness leaves more room for the stock to appreciate before gains are capped, and generally results in a lower premium collected.
How often do the funds distribute?
FEPI, AIPI and CEPI each strive for distributing weekly. There is no assurance that a fund will make a distribution in any given week, and the amounts of any distributions will likely vary from one distribution to the next.
What is return of capital?
Return of capital, or ROC, is a distribution classified as a return of an investor original investment rather than as income. ROC is not immediately taxable. It reduces cost basis, which defers taxes until shares are sold. This information is not intended to be tax advice. Investors should consult with a qualified tax professional about their own circumstances.
What happens when the underlying stocks rally sharply?
Upside participation on a holding is capped at the strike price of the call written against it for that period. The fund still collects the premium, so a strong rally typically means income is earned while price appreciation on that position is limited above the strike.
Do these funds issue a K-1?
No. FEPI, AIPI and CEPI are structured as ETFs and report on Form 1099, so shareholders do not receive a Schedule K-1.

Important Information
The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate. An investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost; current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Returns for performance for one year and under are cumulative, not annualized. Short term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the fund’s future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns. For additional information, see the fund(s) prospectus. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The most recent month-end performance can be obtained by calling 1-844-802-4004. The average annual total return figures reflect the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Standardized performance for each Fund is available at FEPI, AIPI and CEPI.
Shares of the REX Shares ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from a Fund. Market Price returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 pm EST (when NAV is normally calculated) and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Fund returns assume that dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV. Some performance results reflect expense reimbursements or recoupments and fee waivers in effect during certain periods shown. Absent these reimbursements or recoupments and fee waivers, results would have been less favorable.
Investing in the Funds involves a high degree of risk. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Funds. There is no guarantee any investment strategy will be successful. Investing involves risk, including loss of principal.
An investor should carefully consider a Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the REX Shares. To obtain a Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus call 844-802-4004. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing.
THE FUND, TRUST, ADVISER, AND SUB-ADVISER ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE FUND’S UNDERLYING SECURITIES.
The Fund’s investment exposure is concentrated in the same industries as that assigned to the underlying securities. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share, trading price, yield, total return, and/or ability to meet its investment objective.
The value of the Fund, which focuses on underlying securities in the technology sector, may be more volatile than a more diversified pooled investment or the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of a more diversified pooled investment or the market as a whole.
Sector Concentration Risk. The trading prices of the Fund’s underlying securities may be highly volatile and could continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors. The stock market in general, and the market for technology companies in particular, where applicable, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies.
Liquidity Risk. Some securities held by the Fund, including options contracts, may be difficult to sell or be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil.
Options Contracts. The use of options contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility of the underlying reference security, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other ordinary investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect correlation with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions.
Call Writing Strategy Risk. The path dependency (i.e., the continued use) of the Fund’s call writing strategy will impact the extent that the Fund participates in the positive price returns of the underlying reference securities and, in turn, the Fund’s returns, both during the term of the sold call options and over longer time period.
Distribution Risk. As part of the Fund’s investment objective, the Funds seeks to provide current weekly income. There is no assurance that the Funds will make a distribution in any given week. If the Funds does make distributions, the amounts of such distributions will likely vary greatly from one distribution to the next. Additionally, the monthly distributions, if any, may consist of returns of capital, which would decrease the Fund’s NAV and trading price over time. As a result, an investor may suffer significant losses to their investment.
NAV Erosion Risk Due to Distributions. When the Fund makes a distribution, the Fund’s NAV will typically drop by the amount of the distribution on the related ex-dividend date.
