QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:
Invesco QQQ TrustSM, Series 1 (the “Trust”)
We encourage you to read the proxy statement in full; however, the following represent some typical questions that shareholders may have regarding the proxy statement.
HOW DO I VOTE?
Voting may take place in the following ways:
| | You may vote your shares on the voting website listed on your proxy card and/or voting instruction card. You will need the control number from your proxy card and/or voting instruction card to vote on the Internet. Because Internet voting is the most economical way to vote your proxy, we encourage all shareholders to use this method. |
| | You may call in your vote to a 24-hour automated system or a live proxy representative by calling the phone number(s) listed on your proxy card and/or voting instruction card. You will need the control number from your proxy card and/or voting instruction card to vote by telephone. |
| | You may indicate your vote on the proxy card and/or voting instruction card and return it in the postage-paid envelope mailed to you with your proxy statement. |
| | If you do attend the meeting, you may vote your shares in person. Please notify us by calling 1-800-952-3502 if you plan to attend the meeting. |
WHAT ARE THE PROPOSALS BEING PRESENTED AT THE SHAREHOLDER MEETING AND WHAT AM I BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON?
You are being asked to approve three proposals. The proposals are:
| | Proposal 1: To approve amendments to the Trust’s Trust Indenture and Agreement and Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust (the “Governing Instruments”) that are intended to change the Trust’s classification under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, from a unit investment trust to an open-end management investment company. |
| | Proposal 2: To approve the election of nine (9) trustees to serve on the Board of Trustees of the Trust following the amendment of the Governing Instruments (Proposal 1) replacing the existing Trustee (a bank) with a slate of individual trustees. |
| | Proposal 3: To approve an investment advisory agreement between the Trust and Invesco Capital Management LLC (“Invesco” or the “Sponsor”). |
The proposed changes will only take effect if all three proposals are approved by the Trust’s shareholders.
HOW DOES INVESCO RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE?
Invesco recommends that you vote FOR all three of the proposals.
WHY SHOULD I VOTE?
Every vote is important – this means your vote too. If shareholders fail to vote their proxies, the Trust may not receive enough votes to go forward with the December 19, 2025 shareholder meeting. If this happens, additional solicitations may have to be made to obtain a quorum, or proxies may have to be resent to shareholders.
WHO HAVE WE CONTRACTED FOR THE SERVICES OF A PROXY SOLICITOR?
We have hired Sodali & Co. Fund Solutions as the Trust’s proxy solicitor. If we do not receive your vote after a reasonable amount of time, you may receive a telephone call and other solicitations from them reminding you to vote your shares.
WILL MY VOTE BE CONFIDENTIAL USING THE ONLINE PROXY VOTING SYSTEM?
The Web proxy voting system offered by www.proxyvote.com maintains security features designed to protect the confidentiality of your vote. These security features include:
| | HTTP Secure (HTTPS) – A security measure that encrypts all information that travels between the www.proxyvote.com Web server and a shareholder’s computer. |
| | Control Number – Each shareholder is required to enter his or her control number. www.proxyvote.com verifies the number and presents the shareholder with the proxy card. |
| | Firewall – To protect the confidentiality of your account records, www.proxyvote.com uses only control numbers to register votes. |
HOW DO I SIGN THE PROXY CARD AND/OR VOTING INSTRUCTION CARD?
The following general rules for signing proxy cards and/or voting instruction cards could help you avoid the time and expense involved in validating your vote if you fail to sign your proxy card and/or voting instruction card properly.
Individual and Joint Accounts: Shareholders and joint owners should sign exactly as their name appears in the account registration shown on the proxy card and/or voting instruction card. If shares are held jointly, one or more owners should sign personally.
All Other Accounts: The capacity of the individual signing the proxy card and/or voting instruction card (for example, “trustee”) should be indicated, along with the individual’s signature and full title. If a corporation, limited liability company, or partnership is signing the proxy card and/or voting instruction card, please sign the full entity name and indicate the signer’s position with the entity.
WHAT IS THE DEADLINE FOR VOTING?
All votes must be received before or at the shareholder meeting, which will be held on December 19, 2025 at 7:00 a.m. Central Time.
As a general matter, a vote submitted by mail must generally be sent 10 days in advance of the meeting to be received and processed, while a vote submitted via phone or the Internet must generally be submitted by 12 a.m. Eastern Time the day before the meeting to be deemed received.
To ensure we receive your vote in time, we urge you to mail your proxy card or record your voting instructions by telephone or via the Internet today.
WHERE CAN I FIND MORE INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PROPOSALS?
