Dear Aristotle Funds Shareholder:

As a shareholder in one or more of the funds listed above (each, a "Fund," and collectively, the "Funds"), each a series of Aristotle Funds Series Trust (the "Trust"), you are invited to attend a special shareholder meeting (the "Meeting") of the Trust, which will be held at the offices of the Funds' investment adviser, Aristotle Investment Services, LLC, located at 840 Newport Center Drive, 7th Floor, Newport Beach, CA 92660 on May 29, 2026, at 10:00 AM Pacific Time.

The purpose of the Meeting is to seek shareholder approval of the election of six members of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust. As discussed below, three of the individuals currently serve as Trustees of the Trust and have served as such since the Trust's inception and one individual currently serves as a Trustee of the Trust, but has not yet been elected by shareholders. Two additional nominees have been recommended by the Board and its Nominating and Fund Governance Committee to join as Trustees, subject to shareholder approval.

You are being asked to elect each of the following individuals as Trustees of the Trust: Eric Baggesen, Wendy Greuel, Warren A. Henderson (Chair), Alexander B. Potts, Richard Schweitzer and Jeffrey S. Van Harte. Each of these individuals, with the exception of Messrs. Baggesen and Van Harte, currently serves as a Trustee of the Trust and each, with the exception of Mr. Potts, has served as a Trustee since the Trust's inception. Mr. Potts has served as a Trustee since his appointment to the Board on January 1, 2026. The Board's Nominating and Fund Governance Committee, made up of all of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust (an "Independent Trustee") as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), has recommended to the Board, and the Board has unanimously nominated, each of these individuals to serve on the Board as Trustees, subject to shareholder approval.

Two vacancies were recently created on the Board when Dennis R. Sugino retired effective October 31, 2025 and Joseph Chi retired effective March 18, 2026 and the Board further approved an increase in the size of the Board to six. While under applicable state law the Board can ordinarily appoint a new Trustee to fill a vacancy without a shareholder vote, the Board cannot do so under the 1940 Act if, after such appointment, fewer than two-thirds of the Trustees would have been elected by shareholders. Mr. Potts has previously been appointed to the Board without shareholder approval; however, the appointments of Messrs. Baggesen and Van Harte
1

to fill the vacancies on the Board would result in fewer than two-thirds of the members of the Board having been elected by shareholders. Under the 1940 Act, the Trust is required to seek shareholder election of its Trustees at any time when less than a majority of the Board will have been approved by shareholders, regardless of whether or not a vacancy was being filled at that time.

Given these legal requirements, the Board believes it is the appropriate time for the current Trustees, including the Trustee that was previously appointed to the Board (but not elected) and for the new Trustee nominees, to stand for election. The Board believes this action is prudent so that the entire Board will have been elected by shareholders, thereby avoiding the need to incur the expenses of a future shareholder meeting should additional vacancies arise.

The Board of Trustees has unanimously approved these nominations and believes it is in the best interests of the Trust and its shareholders. The Board recommends that you vote in favor of the election of all nominees by voting "FOR" the Proposals.

The attached Proxy Statement describes each nominee's qualifications and the voting process for shareholders. The Board asks that you read it carefully and vote in favor of the Proposals. Please return your proxy card in the postage-paid envelope as soon as possible. You also may vote over the Internet or by telephone. Please follow the instructions on the enclosed proxy card to use these methods of voting.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

/s/ Richard Schweitzer

PROPOSAL 1 - ELECTION OF TRUSTEES TO THE BOARD

The Board currently has four members: Wendy Greuel, Warren A. Henderson (Chair), Alexander B. Potts and Richard Schweitzer. Ms. Greuel and Messrs. Henderson and Potts currently serve as Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust ("Independent Trustees") as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and Mr. Schweitzer currently serves as Trustee who is an "interested person" of the Trust as defined in the 1940 Act ("Interested Trustee"). Ms. Greuel and Messrs. Henderson and Schweitzer have served as Trustees since November 2022, when each was appointed to his or her position on the Board and approved by the Trust's sole, initial shareholder on April 7, 2023. Mr. Potts, who currently serves as an Independent Trustee of the Trust, was appointed to his position by the Board as of January 1, 2026 to fill a vacancy following the retirement of Dennis R. Sugino, who joined the Board in November 2022 and was previously elected as described above. Under the 1940 Act, Mr. Potts' appointment was not required to be approved by shareholders. Joseph Chi, who joined the Board in November 2022 and was previously elected as described above, retired from his service as an Independent Trustee on March 18, 2026.

At a meeting of the Nominating and Fund Governance Committee (the "Committee") held on March 18, 2026, the Committee, which consists solely of Independent Trustees, recommended increasing the size of the Board from five to six Trustees and filling the vacancy created by Mr. Chi's retirement and the open seat with the nomination of Messrs. Baggesen and Van Harte for election as Trustees of the Trust, subject to shareholder approval. The Committee also recommended that Ms. Greuel and Messrs. Henderson, Potts and Schweitzer be nominated for election by shareholders so that the full Board would be elected by shareholders at the same time. At a Board meeting held the same day, the Trustees approved these recommendations. As indicated below, the Board believes that Messrs. Baggesen and Van Harte would be valuable additions to the Board and they would begin to serve as Independent Trustees immediately following the Special Meeting if elected. The Trustees believe both the existing Trustees and the two nominees would enhance the Board's ability to oversee the operations of the Trust.

The current members of the Board do not have the power to appoint Messrs. Baggesen and Van Harte as additional Trustees of the Trust without the approval of the shareholders of the Trust. Section 16(a) of the 1940 Act provides that a Trustee may be appointed by the Board to fill a vacancy consistent with its charter documents and state law only if, after his or her appointment, at least two-thirds of the Trustees have been elected by the shareholders. Mr. Potts has previously been appointed to the Board without shareholder approval. As the appointment of Messrs. Baggesen and Van Harte would result in less than two-thirds of the Board having been elected by the shareholders of the Trust, they must be elected as Trustees by the shareholders in order to fill the vacancies left following Mr. Chi's retirement and the open Board seat. The Board believes it is prudent and in the best interests of the Trust for the shareholders to now vote to elect the two nominees and the existing Trustees so that all members of the Board will have been elected by the shareholders at the same time, thereby avoiding the need to incur the expenses of a future shareholder meeting should additional vacancies arise.

Required Vote

The election of the nominees will be voted upon by shareholders of the Trust in the aggregate; that is, regardless of the Fund in which you are a shareholder, you have the right to vote for or to withhold your vote for each nominee on a one vote-per-share basis without differentiation between the separate Funds (or classes of shares). The nominees will be elected as Trustees of the Trust if they receive a plurality of the votes cast by all shares of the Trust to be voted in the aggregate, assuming a quorum is present. In essence, this means that the nominees for election receiving the highest number of affirmative votes cast at the Meeting will be elected to the Board of the Trust. Each of the current Trustees and the two nominees have consented to being named in the Proxy Statement and has agreed to serve as Trustees and, if elected, will serve as Trustees until death, resignation, retirement or removal, or, if sooner, the election or appointment and qualification of his/her successor. If, for any reason, the nominees become unable to serve before the Meeting, proxies will be voted for a substitute nominated by the Board unless you instruct otherwise.

The Board recommends that the Trust's shareholders elect the nominees as Trustees of the Trust.

The Board met seven times during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. During the fiscal year, all of the incumbent Trustees attended 100% of the Board meetings and the meetings of the Board Committees on which they served.

Trust Committees

The standing committees of the Board are the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Fund Governance Committee.

The members of the Audit Committee include each Independent Trustee of the Trust. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a separate charter and is responsible for, among other things, reviewing and recommending to the Board the selection of the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm, reviewing the scope of the proposed audits of the Trust and the accounting and financial controls of the Trust and the results of the annual audits of the Trust's financial statements, interacting with the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm on behalf of the full Board, assisting the Board in its oversight of the Trust's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and receiving reports from the CCO. Ms. Greuel serves as Chair of the Audit Committee. The Board has determined that Ms. Greuel is an "audit committee financial expert" as such term is defined in the applicable regulations. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the Audit Committee met four times with respect to the Trust.

The members of the Nominating and Fund Governance Committee include each Independent Trustee of the Trust. The Nominating and Fund Governance Committee operates pursuant to a separate charter and is responsible for, among other things, the
6

Trustees' "self-assessment," making recommendations to the Board concerning the size and composition of the Board and its committees and the effectiveness of the Board's committee structure, determining compensation of the Independent Trustees, establishing an Independent Trustee retirement policy and the screening and nomination of new candidates to serve as Trustees. With respect to new Trustee candidates, the Nominating and Fund Governance Committee may seek referrals from a variety of sources and may engage a search firm to assist it in identifying or evaluating potential candidates. The Nominating and Fund Governance Committee will consider any candidate for Trustee recommended by a current shareholder if such recommendation contains sufficient background information concerning the candidate to enable the Nominating and Fund Governance Committee to make a proper judgment as to the candidate's qualifications. The recommendation must be submitted in writing and addressed to the Nominating and Fund Governance Committee Chair at the Trust's offices: 11100 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 1700, Los Angeles, CA 90025. Mr. Potts serves as Chair of the Nominating and Fund Governance Committee. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the Nominating and Fund Governance Committee met five times with respect to the Trust. A copy of the Nominating and Fund Governance Committee charter is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit A.

Additional Information Concerning The Board of Trustees

The Role of the Board. The Board oversees the management and operations of the Trust. Like most mutual funds, the day-to-day management and operation of the Trust is performed by various service providers to the Trust, such as Aristotle Investment Services, LLC, the Funds' investment adviser ("AIS" or the "Adviser"), the Funds' sub-advisers (the "Sub-Advisers"), the Trust's distributor, administrator, custodian, and transfer agent. The Board has appointed senior employees of certain of these service providers as officers of the Trust, with responsibility to monitor and report to the Board on the Trust's operations. The Board receives regular reports from these officers and service providers regarding the Trust's operations. For example, the Treasurer provides reports as to financial reporting matters and investment personnel report on the performance of the Funds. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") who administers the Trust's compliance program and regularly reports to the Board as to compliance matters. Some of these reports are provided as part of formal Board meetings which are typically held quarterly, in person or virtually, and involve the Board's review of the Trust's operations. From time to time one or more Independent Trustees may also meet with management in less formal settings, between scheduled Board meetings, to discuss various topics. In all cases, however, the role of the Board and of any individual Trustee is one of oversight and not of management of the day-to-day affairs of the Trust and its oversight role does not make the Board a guarantor of the Trust's investments, operations, or activities.
Board Structure, Leadership. The Board has structured itself in a manner that it believes allows it to perform its oversight function effectively. It has established two standing committees, an Audit Committee and a Nominating and Fund Governance Committee, which are discussed in greater detail under "Committees" below. As presently constituted, 75% of the members of the Board are Independent Trustees and each Committee is comprised entirely of Independent Trustees. The Chair of the Board is an Independent Trustee who acts as the primary liaison between the Independent Trustees, the Interested Trustee and management. The Chair of the Board helps identify matters for consideration by the Board and regularly participates in the agenda setting process for Board meetings. The Board reviews its structure annually through the Nominating and Fund Governance Committee. In developing its structure, the Board has considered that the Interested Trustee, as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Aristotle Capital Management, LLC ("Aristotle Capital"), the parent company of the Adviser, provides valuable input as to, among other things, the operation of the Adviser, its financial condition and business plans relating to the Trust. The Board has also determined that having a Chair of the Board who is an Independent Trustee and the function and composition of the Committees are appropriate means to provide effective oversight on behalf of the Trust's shareholders and address any potential conflicts of interest that might arise from an Interested Trustee serving on the Board.
Board Oversight of Risk Management. As part of its oversight function, the Board receives and reviews various risk management reports and assessments and discusses these matters with appropriate management and other personnel. The full Board receives reports from the Adviser and Sub-Advisers as to investment risks as well as other risks that may also be discussed in Audit Committee meetings. In addition, the Board receives reports from the Adviser's risk management personnel regarding their assessments of potential material risks associated with the Trust and the manner in which those risks are addressed. Because risk management is a broad concept comprised of many elements, Board oversight of different types of risks is handled in different ways. The Board and its committees receive periodic reports as to how the Adviser conducts service provider oversight and how it monitors for other risks, such as derivatives risk, business continuity risks and risks that might be present with the Sub-Advisers or specific investment strategies. The Audit Committee meets regularly with the CCO to discuss compliance and operational risks. The Audit Committee also meets regularly with the Treasurer, and the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm and, when appropriate, with other Adviser personnel to discuss, among other things, the internal control structure of the Trust's financial reporting function.
7

Information About Each Trustee's Qualification, Experience, Attributes or Skills. The Board believes that each of the Trustees has the qualifications, experience, attributes and skills ("Trustee Attributes") appropriate to their continued service as a Trustee of the Trust in light of the Trust's business and structure. Each Trustee has a demonstrated record of business and/or professional accomplishment. The Trust's Nominating and Fund Governance Committee annually conducts a "self-assessment" wherein the effectiveness of the Board and its committees is reviewed. The Nominating and Fund Governance Committee has determined that the Trustees have the appropriate attributes and experience to continue to serve effectively as Trustees of the Trust.
In addition to the information provided in the charts above, including in particular the years of mutual fund experience on the Board of the Trust, certain additional information regarding the Trustees and their Trustee Attributes is provided below. The information is not all-inclusive. Many Trustee Attributes involve intangible elements, such as intelligence, integrity and work ethic, along with the ability to work together, to communicate effectively, to exercise judgment and ask incisive questions, and commitment to shareholder interests.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Solicitation of Proxies

In addition to solicitation of proxies by mail, certain officers of the Trust, officers and employees of the Adviser, or other representatives of the Trust, who will not be paid for their services, may also solicit proxies by telephone or in person. The Trust has engaged the proxy firm of EQ Fund Solutions who will be paid approximately $446,000, plus out-of-pocket expenses, for their services, which includes the fees and expenses of tabulating the results of the proxy solicitation and the fees and expenses of printing and mailing the Proxy Statement to the shareholders of the Funds. The expenses incurred in connection with preparing the proxy statement and its enclosures and all related legal expenses will be paid by the Adviser.

Householding

If possible, depending on shareholder registration and address information, and unless you have otherwise opted out, only one copy of this Proxy Statement will be sent to shareholders at the same address. However, each shareholder will receive separate proxy cards. If you would like to receive a separate copy of the Proxy Statement, please call 844-ARISTTL (844-274-7885). If you currently receive multiple copies of Proxy Statements or Shareholder Reports and would like to request to receive a single copy of documents in the future, please call 844-ARISTTL (844-274-7885) or write to Fund Services at c/o U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, P.O. Box 219231, Kansas City, MO 64121-9231.

Voting Procedures

You can vote by mail, on the Internet or by phone by following the instructions on your proxy card, or in person at the Meeting. To vote by mail, sign and send the enclosed proxy voting card in the envelope provided.

Shares represented by timely and properly executed proxies will be voted as specified. If you do not specify your vote with respect to a particular matter, the proxy holder will vote your shares in accordance with the recommendation of the Trustees. You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by sending a written revocation addressed to Joseph Lallande, Secretary, Aristotle Funds Series Trust, c/o Aristotle Investment Services, 840 Newport Center Drive, 7th Floor, Newport Beach, CA 92660, by properly executing and delivering a later-dated proxy, or by attending the Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Meeting alone, however, will not revoke the proxy.

Each whole share will be entitled to one vote as to any matter on which it is entitled to vote, and each fractional share will be entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. There is no cumulative voting in the election of Trustees.

Quorum, Required Vote and Methods of Tabulation

One-third of the shares of the Trust entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business for the Trust at the Meeting. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be counted by persons appointed by the Board as inspectors for the Meeting.

For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for the Meeting, the inspectors will count as present the total number of shares voted "for" or "against" approval of any proposal, as well as shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions and "broker non-votes" (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees as to which instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or the persons entitled to vote and the broker or nominee does not have the discretionary voting power on a particular matter). However, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of Trustees because of the Trust's plurality voting requirements.

All Trustees and nominees receiving a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting will be elected as Trustees of the Trust, provided that the quorum is obtained. With a plurality vote, the Trustees and nominees who receive the highest number of votes will be elected, even if they receive votes from less than a majority of the votes cast. Because the Trustees and nominees are running unopposed, assuming a quorum is present, all Trustees and nominees are expected to be elected as Trustees, as all who receive a single vote in his or her favor will be elected.

10

Adjournment

If a quorum is not present or sufficient votes in favor of the Proposal are not received by the time scheduled for the Meeting, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to a date within a reasonable time after the Record Date to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to the Proposal. In addition, if the persons named as proxies determine it is advisable to defer action on the Proposal the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to a date within a reasonable time after the Record Date in order to defer action on the Proposal as they deem advisable. Any such adjournments will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the question in person or by proxy at the session of the Meeting to be adjourned. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment those proxies that they are entitled to vote in favor of the Proposal. They will vote against any such adjournment those proxies required to be voted against any of the Proposal. They will vote in their discretion shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions and "broker non-votes". A Proposal for which sufficient affirmative votes have been received by the time of the Meeting will be acted upon and such action will be final regardless of whether the Meeting is adjourned to permit additional solicitation with respect to any other Proposal.

All Other Fees

Tait neither performed services for the Trust nor delivered any products to the Trust for the two most recent fiscal years ended in 2024 and 2025, other than as set forth above.

Pre-Approval of Certain Services

The Audit Committee Charter and related policies of the Trust require pre-approval by the Audit Committee (subject to certain de minimis thresholds) of all auditing and permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Trust by Tait, including fees. Accordingly, all of these non-audit services were required to be pre-approved, and all of these non-audit services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Non-Audit Fees Paid by Investment Advisers and Their Affiliates

The Trust is not aware of any other matters that are expected to arise at the Meeting. If any other matter should arise, however, the persons named in properly executed proxies have discretionary authority to vote such proxies as they decide.

The Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Trust and the By-laws of the Trust do not provide for annual meetings of shareholders and the Trust does not currently intend to hold such meeting in the future. Shareholder proposals for inclusion in a proxy statement for any subsequent meeting of the Trust's shareholders must be received by the Trust in a reasonable period of time prior to any such meeting.

Exhibit A

Aristotle Funds Series Trust
(the "Trust")
NOMINATING AND FUND GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE CHARTER


A. Nominating and Fund Governance Committee Membership
The Nominating and Fund Governance Committee ("Committee") shall be composed entirely of Trustees of the Trust who are not "interested persons" of the Trust ("Independent Trustees"), as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"). Members of the Committee may designate one member to serve as Chair. Members of the Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the full Board of Trustees (the "Board").
B. Nominating and Fund Governance Committee Purposes
The purposes of the Committee are:
1.to assist the Board in its review and oversight of governance matters;
2.to assist the Board with the selection and nomination of candidates to serve on the Board; and
3.to undertake such other responsibilities as may be delegated to the Committee by the Board.
C. Nominating and Fund Governance Committee Functions
The function of the Committee is oversight. To carry out its purposes, the functions of the Committee shall include:
1.To select and nominate all persons for election or appointment as Trustees of the Trust, which selection and nomination shall be based on such criteria as the Committee determines are appropriate; provided, that nominees for Independent Trustee shall be recommended for selection and approval by all of the incumbent Independent Trustees then serving on the Board. The Committee shall evaluate candidates' qualifications for Board membership and, in connection with Independent Trustee candidates, their independence from the Trust's investment advisers1 and other principal service providers. Persons selected as Independent Trustee candidates must be independent for purposes of the 1940 Act. The Committee shall also consider the effect of any relationships beyond those delineated in the 1940 Act that might impair independence (e.g., business, financial or family relationships with investment advisers and other service providers).
2.To consider Trustee candidates recommended by shareholders of the Trusts in accordance with any Trust policy addressing the shareholder submission of candidates. Any such candidates shall be considered and evaluated based upon such criteria as the Committee determines are appropriate.
3.To review information provided to the Committee regarding the implementation of any applicable Trust policy dealing with shareholder and Board communications, and any shareholder communications to the Board.
4.To periodically review the composition of the Board to determine whether it may be appropriate to add individuals with specific backgrounds, diversity or skill sets.
5.To make nominations to the Board for the position of Chair of the Board at least annually.
1 As used herein, the terms "investment advisers" include sub-advisers.
Exhibit A - Page 1

6.To periodically review Board governance procedures.
7.To recommend to the Board the removal, replacement, or retirement of an incumbent Trustee.
8.To periodically review Independent Trustee compensation and recommend any appropriate changes to the Independent Trustees as a group.
9.To periodically review and make recommendations to the Board of Trustees regarding fund governance, board oversight, independence and board effectiveness.
10.To evaluate and supervise legal counsel employed by the Independent Trustees, and to monitor the independence of legal counsel employed by the Independent Trustees in accordance with requirements of rules promulgated under the 1940 Act.
11.To periodically review orientation and training materials for new trustees and continuing education criteria for current Trustees.
12.To review its Charter and the charters of each of the other Board committees at least annually and recommend any changes thereto to the Board. The Board shall review and approve, if appropriate, any changes to this Charter and the charters of each of the other Board committees recommended by the Committee.
13.To perform such other functions as the Board may delegate from time to time.
D. Other Powers and Responsibilities
1.The Committee typically shall meet at least quarterly and is empowered to hold special meetings as circumstances require. In addition, the Committee may from time to time delegate certain of its functions to an ad hoc committee comprised of members of the Board that will report to the Committee or the Board with its recommendations, as determined at the time of such delegation.
2.The Committee shall meet and may consult with management of the Trust and officers, employees, and other representatives of service providers as the Committee deems appropriate.
3.The Committee shall report its activities to the Board on a regular basis and make such recommendations with respect to the above and other matters as the Committee may deem necessary and appropriate.
4.The Committee shall have the resources and authority appropriate to discharge its responsibilities, including authority to retain special counsel and other experts or consultants (including any search firm used to identify Independent Trustee candidates). Any expenses incurred in discharging the Committee's responsibilities shall be borne by the Trust.
The matters to be considered by the Committee, at any meeting or in general, shall be in the sole discretion of the Committee. Membership of the Committee shall not be deemed to impose on any Trustee an obligation or duty, or to imply any experience, expertise, or knowledge, different from or greater than that of any other Trustee.
It is the responsibility of each investment adviser, sub-adviser, and the funds' other service providers to ensure that their activities in respect of the funds comply with applicable law and regulation and with the policies and procedures of the funds. Nothing in this Charter shall be construed to limit or reduce the responsibilities or liabilities of any adviser, sub-adviser, the funds' distributor, or any other service provider of the funds.
Original date of adoption: December 16, 2022
