Victory Portfolios II today announced plans to liquidate the VictoryShares Emerging Market High Div Volatility Wtd ETF (CEY). The decision to liquidate the ETF was the result of the Company’s regular review of its product lineup to ensure it is best meeting client needs.

Shareholders of the ETFs may sell their holdings on the Nasdaq Stock Market prior to the close of trading on December 22, 2022, and customary brokerage charges may apply to these transactions. The ETF will cease trading at the end of the trading day on December 22, 2022. It is anticipated that the ETF will liquidate on or about December 28, 2022. Any person holding shares of the ETFs as of the liquidation date will receive a cash distribution equal to the net asset value of their shares as of that date.

Victory Capital Management Inc., the adviser to the VictoryShares ETFs, will bear all fees and expenses that may be incurred in connection with the liquidation of the ETFs and the distribution of the cash proceeds to investors, other than brokerage fees and other related expenses.

For tax purposes, shareholders will generally recognize a capital gain or loss equal to the amount received for their shares over their adjusted basis in such shares.
