How did the Fund perform in the last year?
The Champlain Small Company Fund (Advisor Shares) returned -5.53% for the year-to-date period ending December 31,2025, which was behind the 12.81% return for the Russell 2000 Index and trailed the 17.15% return for the Russell 3000 Index.
This Fund's relative underperformance compared to the Russell 2000 Index was primarily driven by stock selection in information technology, health care, consumer, and financials sectors. Technology performance was impacted by an overweight in the software industry and selection within the sector. AI is reshaping the software landscape - expanding what products can do and increasing uncertainty around how quickly those capabilities translate into durable monetization. We expect pricing to continue shifting away from fixed, per-seat subscriptions and toward usage-based and agent-driven models, which can make reported metrics and near-term expectations more volatile. For our Fund's technology holdings, we believe this backdrop is ultimately constructive because our core software exposures - spanning data infrastructure and resilience, hybrid cloud platforms, security, and developer workflow - sit in the "plumbing" of modern workloads where AI adoption tends to increase demand over time.
For the year, health care underperformed due to several factors, including an underweight position in biotech, an overweight position in health care equipment & supplies, no exposure to the pharmaceuticals industry, and an overweight allocation in health care technology. The consumer sectors, in aggregate, underperformed for the year, largely due to stock selection. Freshpet's shares have been under pressure as its growth normalizes to a more sustainable rate. As we evaluate this holding, we remain mindful of competition and the consumer's ability/willingness to afford a dog and feed it premium food. Simply Good Foods, a position exited late in the year, was also a significant detractor, as management sought to shift exposure to higher-growth areas of the business.
Stock selection in banks was a key driver of relative underperformance in financials as investors positioned for lower rates, a relaxed M&A environment, and continued to show a bias for lower quality operators (as measured by Return on Assets). Our preference for banks with long histories of industry-leading profitability and limited loan losses was not helpful. In addition, Baldwin Insurance Group shares detracted from performance, with a 38% decline. During the third quarter, management reduced its second-half guidance due to slowing property growth, a new reinsurance arrangement, and disruption in its Medicare business.
Despite headwinds, we remain committed to our investment process and the philosophy that cash earnings, sustainable above average growth of cash flow, attractive returns on capital, and efficient capital allocation drive superior long-term shareholder returns. We do not know when the markets and investors will reward these quality attributes, but we are confident that the sun will shine again on what is currently in the shade.

Householding
Rule 30e-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, permits funds to transmit only one copy of a proxy statement, annual report or semi-annual report to shareholders (who need not be related) with the same residential, commercial or electronic address, provided that the shareholders have consented in writing and the reports are addressed either to each shareholder individually or to the shareholders as a group. This process is known as "householding" and is designed to reduce the duplicate copies of materials that shareholders receive and to lower printing and mailing costs for funds. Once implemented, if you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call toll-free at 1-866-773-3238 to request individual copies of these documents. Once the Fund receives notice to stop householding, we will begin sending individual copies 30 days after receiving your request.

How did the Fund perform in the last year?
The Champlain Mid Cap Fund (Advisor Shares) returned 1.42% for the year-to-date period ending December 31, 2025, which trailed the 10.60% return for Russell Midcap Index and the 17.15% return for the Russell 3000 Index.
This Fund's relative underperformance compared to the Russell Midcap Index was primarily driven by stock selection in the financials, consumer, and information technology sectors. Within financials, our capital markets holdings failed to keep pace with the market, which favored the least profitable and most market-exposed companies. Shares of FactSet Research Systems were particularly weak as investors became increasingly critical of management's ambitious GenAI investment roadmap, potential for growth reacceleration on the other side of that spending, and the evolving competitive landscape. Ongoing and aggressive price competition in the property insurance market, along with our preference for niche-oriented, specialty property & casualty franchises, created a more pronounced relative headwind for the Fund.
The consumer staples sector detracted from performance, as unfavorable stock selection and an overweight allocation weighed on performance. Shares of Freshpet have been under pressure as its growth normalizes to a more sustainable rate. We remain mindful of competition and the consumer's ability/willingness to afford a dog and feed it premium food. Shares of e.l.f. Beauty declined significantly late in the year after initial full-year guidance came in well below expectations. Our research on brand health/relevance suggests the brand momentum with consumers is intact, even if near-term reported growth looks conservative/noisy.
The Fund's technology performance trailed the benchmark sector due to a lack of exposure to Palantir, which was the largest weight in Russell Midcap until it was reconstituted out of the index, and a decline in open-source code repository company GitLab. Shares in GitLab declined in part because of concerns that AI would reduce the number of coders, reducing seat based revenue.
Offsetting the Fund's underperformance somewhat for the year was the health care sector, where positive stock selection in the biotechnology and health care equipment & supply industries provided a tailwind. In December, Exact Sciences agreed to be acquired by Abbott Labs at a premium to our estimate of Fair Value. In addition, the Fund's lack of exposure to the real estate, materials, and energy sectors contributed to relative returns during the year.
Despite headwinds, we remain committed to our investment process and the philosophy that cash earnings, sustainable above average growth of cash flow, attractive returns on capital, and efficient capital allocation drive superior long-term shareholder returns. We do not know when the markets and investors will reward these quality attributes, but we are confident that the sun will shine again on what is currently in the shade.

How did the Fund perform in the last year?
The Champlain Mid Cap Fund (Institutional Shares) returned 1.70% for the year-to-date period ending December 31, 2025, which trailed the 10.60% return for Russell Midcap Index and the 17.15% return for the Russell 3000 Index.
This Fund's relative underperformance compared to the Russell Midcap Index was primarily driven by stock selection in the financials, consumer, and information technology sectors. Within financials, our capital markets holdings failed to keep pace with the market, which favored the least profitable and most market-exposed companies. Shares of FactSet Research Systems were particularly weak as investors became increasingly critical of management's ambitious GenAI investment roadmap, potential for growth reacceleration on the other side of that spending, and the evolving competitive landscape. Ongoing and aggressive price competition in the property insurance market, along with our preference for niche-oriented, specialty property & casualty franchises, created a more pronounced relative headwind for the Fund.
The consumer staples sector detracted from performance, as unfavorable stock selection and an overweight allocation weighed on performance. Shares of Freshpet have been under pressure as its growth normalizes to a more sustainable rate. We remain mindful of competition and the consumer's ability/willingness to afford a dog and feed it premium food. Shares of e.l.f. Beauty declined significantly late in the year after initial full-year guidance came in well below expectations. Our research on brand health/relevance suggests the brand momentum with consumers is intact, even if near-term reported growth looks conservative/noisy.
The Fund's technology performance trailed the benchmark sector due to a lack of exposure to Palantir, which was the largest weight in Russell Midcap until it was reconstituted out of the index, and a decline in open-source code repository company GitLab. Shares in GitLab declined in part because of concerns that AI would reduce the number of coders, reducing seat based revenue.
Offsetting the Fund's underperformance somewhat for the year was the health care sector, where positive stock selection in the biotechnology and health care equipment & supply industries provided a tailwind. In December, Exact Sciences agreed to be acquired by Abbott Labs at a premium to our estimate of Fair Value. In addition, the Fund's lack of exposure to the real estate, materials, and energy sectors contributed to relative returns during the year.
Despite headwinds, we remain committed to our investment process and the philosophy that cash earnings, sustainable above average growth of cash flow, attractive returns on capital, and efficient capital allocation drive superior long-term shareholder returns. We do not know when the markets and investors will reward these quality attributes, but we are confident that the sun will shine again on what is currently in the shade.

How did the Fund perform in the last year?
The Champlain Strategic Focus Fund (Institutional Shares) returned 5.74% for the year-to-date period ending December 31, 2025, which trailed the 8.66% return for Russell Midcap Growth Index and the 17.15% return for the Russell 3000 Index.
This Fund's relative underperformance compared to the Russell Midcap Growth Index was primarily driven by stock selection in health care, financials, and industrials. With the Fund owning positions in twenty-eight companies at the end of the year, one should expect performance to be driven by share price movements rather than views on a specific sector. Health care holding, Bio-Techne, was a top detractor to both absolute and relative returns during the period. In early 2025, funding concerns at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) impacted Bio-Techne after the Administration's budget sought a 40% decrease. Although budget concerns appeared less severe than originally feared, this position was eliminated from the Fund in the third quarter. In the financials sector, shares of wholesale insurance broker Ryan Specialty Holdings were weak, particularly in the third quarter, after the company missed organic growth expectations and reduced guidance for the remainder of 2025. While property-driven growth was weaker than expected, Ryan continues to outpace overall revenue expectations as accretive M&A activity fuels the top line. Within industrials, shares of IDEX were weak following a conservative initial 2025 outlook and a mid-year guidance cut that compounded investor frustration. Concerns centered more on the timing and visibility of a recovery in growth and margins than on any structural demand deterioration. We took advantage of the weakness to add to the position. Elsewhere in the Fund, consumer company e.l.f. Beauty declined significantly late in the year after initial full-year guidance came in well below expectations, although we believe brand momentum with consumers is intact.
The Fund's technology exposure outperformed, despite weak performance from several software holdings. Pure Storage and MongoDB both gained during the year as the companies are viewed as beneficiaries of AI-driven infrastructure investments. Pure Storage is extending its lead in all-flash storage while MongoDB is positioning its database as a mission-critical foundation for AI workloads. The Fund's holdings in Zscaler also returned over 24% for the year, despite shares being weak in the fourth quarter.
Although the types of companies our investment process favors have not been rewarded in recent years, we remain committed to our investment process and the philosophy that cash earnings, sustainable above average growth of cash flow, attractive returns on capital, and efficient capital allocation drive superior long-term shareholder returns. We do not know when the markets and investors will reward these quality attributes, but we are confident that the sun will shine again on what is currently in the shade.

Notes:
| (1) | Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the Trust's annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. |
(e)(1) The Trust's Audit Committee has adopted and the Board of Trustees has ratified an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the "Policy"), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor of the Funds may be pre-approved.
The Policy provides that all requests or applications for proposed services to be provided by the independent auditor must be submitted to the Registrant's Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and must include a detailed description of the services proposed to be rendered. The CFO will determine whether such services:
| (1) | require specific pre-approval; |
| (2) | are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee pursuant to the Policy; or |
| (3) | have been previously pre-approved in connection with the independent auditor's annual engagement letter for the applicable year or otherwise. In any instance where services require pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with SEC's rules and whether the provision of such services would impair the auditor's independence. |
Requests or applications to provide services that require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by the CFO. The Audit Committee will be informed by the CFO on a quarterly basis of all services rendered by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee has delegated specific pre-approval authority to either the Audit Committee Chair or financial expert, provided that the estimated fee for any such proposed pre-approved service does not exceed $100,000 and any pre-approval decisions are reported to the Audit Committee at its next regularly-scheduled meeting.
Services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee are identified and described in the Policy. In addition, the Policy sets forth a maximum fee per engagement with respect to each identified service that has received general pre-approval.
All services to be provided by the independent auditor shall be provided pursuant to a signed written engagement letter with the Registrant, the investment adviser, or applicable control affiliate (except that matters as to which an engagement letter would be impractical because of timing issues or because the matter is small may not be the subject of an engagement letter) that sets forth both the services to be provided by the independent auditor and the total fees to be paid to the independent auditor for those services.
In addition, the Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet the Audit Committee's responsibility to oversee the work of the independent auditor and to assure the auditor's independence from the Registrant, such as (a) reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditor delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Registrant, and (b) discussing with the independent auditor the independent auditor's methods and procedures for ensuring independence.
| (e)(2) | Percentage of fees billed applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows (E&Y): |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| 1. | ORGANIZATION: |
The Advisors' Inner Circle Fund II (the "Trust") is organized as a Massachusetts business trust under an Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated July 24, 1992. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company with twenty four funds. The financial statements herein are those of the Champlain Small Company Fund (the "Small Company Fund"), Champlain Mid Cap Fund (the "Mid Cap Fund"), and Champlain Strategic Focus Fund (the "Strategic Focus Fund") (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"). The investment objective of the Funds is capital appreciation. Each of the Champlain Funds is classified as a "diversified" investment company under the 1940 Act. The Small Company Fund invests in small companies with market capitalization of less than $2.5 billion, Mid Cap Fund invests primarily (at least 80% of its net assets) in medium-sized companies with market capitalization of less than $15 billion, and the Strategic Focus Fund primarily in securities of medium - to large-sized companies. The financial statements of the remaining funds within the Trust are presented separately. The assets of each Fund of the Trust are segregated, and a shareholder's interest is limited to the fund in which shares are held. The Funds currently offer Advisor Shares and Institutional Shares. The Small Company Fund, Mid Cap Fund, and Strategic Focus Fund, commenced operations on August 31, 2016, January 3, 2011, and October 16, 2023, respectively.
| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and are presented in U.S. dollars which is the functional currency of the Funds. The Funds are an investment company and therefore applies the accounting and reporting guidance issued by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. The following are significant accounting policies which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
Security Valuation - Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded, or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Investment companies are valued at Net Asset Value.
| 21 | CHAMPLAIN INVESTMENT PARTNERS |
| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND II |
CHAMPLAIN FUNDS DECEMBER 31, 2025 |
Securities for which market prices are not "readily available" are valued in accordance with fair value procedures (the "Fair Value Procedures") established by the Adviser and approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated Champlain Investment Partners, LLC (the "Adviser") as the "valuation designee" to determine the fair value of securities and other instruments for which no readily available market quotations are available. The Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the "Committee") of the Adviser.
Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using fair value procedures include: the security's trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security's primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government imposed restrictions. When a security is valued in accordance with the fair value procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
•Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date;
•Level 2 - Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and other significant observable inputs (includes quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment spreads, credit risk, referenced indices, quoted prices in inactive markets, adjusted quoted prices in active markets, etc.); and
•Level 3 - Prices, inputs or proprietary modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
| 22 | CHAMPLAIN INVESTMENT PARTNERS |
| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND II |
CHAMPLAIN FUNDS DECEMBER 31, 2025 |
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.
For details of investment classifications, reference the Schedules of Investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Federal Income Taxes - It is each Fund's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of their taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements.
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether it is "more-likely-than-not" (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management's conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last 3 tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
As of and during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Funds did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. Each Fund or its agent files withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover certain amounts previously withheld. The Funds may record a reclaim receivable based on collectability, which includes factors such as the jurisdiction's applicable laws, payment history and market convention. Professional fees paid to those that provide assistance in receiving the tax reclaims, which generally are contingent upon successful receipt of reclaimed amounts, are recorded in Professional Fees on the Statements of Operations, if applicable, once the amounts are due. The professional fees related to pursuing these tax reclaims are not subject to the Adviser's expense limitation agreement.
Security Transactions and Investment Income - Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.
| 23 | CHAMPLAIN INVESTMENT PARTNERS |
| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND II |
CHAMPLAIN FUNDS DECEMBER 31, 2025 |
Classes - Class specific expenses, such as distribution fees, are borne by that class of shares. Income, realized and change in unrealized gains/losses and non-class specific expenses are allocated to the respective class on the basis of relative net assets.
Expenses - Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a particular fund. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a particular fund are apportioned among the funds of the Trust based on the number of funds and/or relative net assets.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually by the Funds. Any net realized capital gains are distributed to shareholders at least annually.
Segment Reporting - The Funds adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). Adoption of this new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Funds' financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The management of the Funds' Adviser acts as the Funds' CODM. The Funds represent a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of each Fund as a whole and the Funds' long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the Funds' single investment objective which is executed by the Funds' portfolio manager. The financial information in the form of the Funds' schedule of investments, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment's performance versus the Funds' comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Funds' single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Funds' financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities as "Total Assets" and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Statements of Operations.
| 3. | TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES: |
Certain officers and a trustee of the Trust are also officers of the Administrator, a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company, and/or SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the "Distributor"). Such officers and the trustee are paid no fees by the Trust for serving as officers and trustee of the Trust.
| 24 | CHAMPLAIN INVESTMENT PARTNERS |
| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND II |
CHAMPLAIN FUNDS DECEMBER 31, 2025 |
The services provided by the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") and his staff, who are the employees of the Administrator, are paid for by the Trust as incurred. The services include regulatory oversight of the Trust's advisers and service providers as required by SEC regulations. The CCO's services and fees have been approved by and are reviewed by the Board.
4. ADMINISTRATION, DISTRIBUTION, TRANSFER AGENT AND CUSTODIAN AGREEMENTS:
The Funds and the Administrator are parties to an Administration Agreement, under which the Administrator provides administrative services to the Fund. For these services, the Administrator is paid an asset-based fee, which will vary depending on the number of share classes and the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Small Company Fund, Mid Cap Fund and Strategic Focus Fund were charged $1,059,937, $2,410,871, and $1,715 for these services, respectively.
The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") for the Advisor Shares. Under the Plan, the Distributor, or third parties that enter into agreements with the Distributor, may receive up to 0.25% of the Funds' average net assets attributable to the Advisor Shares as compensation for distribution services.
SS&C Global Investor & Distribution Solutions, Inc. serves as the Transfer Agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds under a transfer agency agreement with the Trust. The Funds may earn cash management credits which can be used to offset transfer agent expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Small Company Fund, Mid Cap Fund and the Strategic Focus Fund earned credits of $13,795, $101,229 and $943, respectively, which were used to offset transfer agent expenses. These amounts are listed as "Fees Paid Indirectly" on the Statements of Operations.
U.S. Bank, N.A. acts as custodian (the "Custodian") for the Funds. The Custodian plays no role in determining the investment policies of the Funds or which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Funds.
5. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT:
The Adviser serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. For its services, the Adviser is entitled to a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at the following annual rates base on the average daily net assets of each fund:
| Fund | Advisory Fee |
| Small Company Fund | 0.90% on the first $250 million in assets; 0.80% on assets over $250 million |
| Mid Cap Fund | 0.80% on the first $250 million in assets; 0.70% on assets over $250 million |
| Strategic Focus Fund | 0.80% on the first $250 million in assets; 0.70% on assets over $250 million |
The Adviser has contractually agreed to limit the total expenses of the Small Company Fund - Advisor Shares, Small Company Fund - Institutional Shares, Mid Cap Fund - Advisor Shares, Mid Cap Fund - Institutional Shares, Strategic Focus Fund Advisor Shares, and Strategic Focus Fund - Institutional Shares (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and extraordinary expenses) to 1.30%, 1.05%, 1.20%, 0.95%, 1.10%, and 0.85% of the Funds' respective average daily net assets through April 30, 2026, respectively. To maintain these expense limitations, the Adviser may waive a portion of its advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Funds. If at any point it becomes unnecessary for the Adviser, Administrator, or shareholder service agent to make expense limitation reimbursements, the Adviser may retain the difference between the "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" and the aforementioned expense limitations to recapture all or a portion of its prior expense limitation reimbursements made during the preceding three year period. As of December 31, 2025, the Funds did not recapture previously waived fees.

8. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION:
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions, if any, to be paid, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to distributable earnings or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
The permanent differences primarily consist of net investment losses offset to short term gains, deemed distributions due to shareholder redemptions, tax treatment of gains/(losses) from securities redeemed in-kind, net operating loss, and distribution reclassifications. The permanent difference that is credited or charged to Paid-in Capital and Distributable Earnings as of December 31, 2025 is primarily related to deemed distribution due to Shareholder redemptions and, tax treatment of gains/(losses) from securities redeemed in-kind and net operating losses:

9. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS:
As with investing in all mutual funds, investing in the Funds involves risk, and there is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve their investment goals. You could lose money on your investment in a Fund, just as you could with other investments. As described in each Fund's Prospectus, the Funds are subject to the following risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund's net asset value and ability to meet its investment objective:
MARKET RISK (Each Fund) - The prices of and the income generated by the Fund's securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment, general economic and market conditions, regional or global instability, and currency and interest rate fluctuations. In addition, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests, which in turn could negatively impact the Fund's performance and cause losses on your investment in the Fund.
ACTIVE MANAGEMENT RISK (Each Fund) - The Fund is subject to the risk that the Adviser's judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the Fund's investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and strategies employed by the Fund fail to produce the intended results, the Fund could underperform in comparison to other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.
| 30 | CHAMPLAIN INVESTMENT PARTNERS |
| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND II | CHAMPLAIN FUNDS |
| DECEMBER 31, 2025 |
EQUITY RISK (Each Fund) - Since it purchases equity securities, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles, and the value of the Fund's equity securities may fluctuate drastically from day to day. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may suffer a decline in response. These factors contribute to price volatility, which is the principal risk of investing in the Fund.
SMALL-CAPITALIZATION COMPANY RISK (Small Company Fund & Strategic Focus Fund) - The Fund is also subject to the risk that small-capitalization stocks may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. The small-capitalization companies that the Fund invests in may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, investments in these small-sized companies may pose additional risks, including liquidity risk, because these companies tend to have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small-cap stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. These securities may be traded over-the-counter or listed on an exchange.
MID-CAPITALIZATION COMPANY RISK (Mid Cap Fund and Strategic Focus Fund) - The Fund is also subject to the risk that medium-capitalization stocks may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. The medium-sized companies the Fund invests in may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, investments in these medium-sized companies may pose additional risks, including liquidity risk, because these companies tend to have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, mid-capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. These securities may be traded over-the-counter or listed on an exchange.
LARGE-CAPITALIZATION COMPANY RISK (Strategic Focus Fund) - The large-capitalization companies in which the Fund invests may not respond as quickly as smaller companies to competitive challenges, the growth rates of investments in these large-sized companies may lag the growth rates of well-managed smaller companies during strong economic periods.
GROWTH INVESTMENT STYLE RISK (Strategic Focus Fund) - An investment in growth stocks may be susceptible to rapid price swings, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. Growth stocks typically have little or no dividend income to cushion the effect of adverse market conditions. In addition, growth stocks may be particularly volatile in the event of earnings disappointments or other financial difficulties experienced by the issuer.
NON-DIVERSIFICATION RISK (Strategic Focus Fund) - The Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it may invest a large percentage of its assets in a single issuer or a relatively small number of issuers. Because the Fund is non-diversified, it may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or political occurrence affecting one or more of the issuers, and may experience increased volatility due to its investments in those securities. However, the Fund intends to satisfy the diversification requirements for classification as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

10. CONCENTRATION OF SHAREHOLDERS:
At December 31, 2025, 88% of the total shares outstanding of the Small Company Fund Advisor Shares were held by two shareholders; 47% of the total shares outstanding of the Small Company Fund Institutional Shares were held by three shareholders; 72% of the total shares outstanding of the Mid Cap Fund Advisor Shares were held by two shareholders, 48% of the total shares outstanding of the Mid Cap Fund Institutional Shares were held by two shareholders; 84% of the total shares outstanding of Strategic Focus Fund Institutional Shares were held by three shareholders.
11. INDEMNIFICATIONS:
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claim is considered remote.
12. LINE OF CREDIT:
The Small Company Fund and Mid Cap Fund have entered into an umbrella loan agreement with the Custodian which enables the Funds to participate in a single $250 million uncommitted, senior secured line of credit, with an expiration date of March 10, 2026. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Strategic Focus Fund did not participate in any borrowing.
The proceeds from the borrowings shall be used to provide temporary liquidity to the Funds as necessary in order to meet redemption needs. Interest is charged to the Funds based on the outstanding principal balance of the borrowings at an annual rate equal to the Custodian's then current prime-lending rate. These fees are included as "Line of Credit" on the Statements of Operations. On December 17, 2025, the Small Company Fund borrowed an average of $11,000,000 at an interest rate of 6.75% and Mid Cap Fund borrowed $8,962,000 at an interest rate of 6.75%. As of the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no borrowings outstanding.
13. REFLOW LIQUIDITY PROGRAM
The Funds may participate in the ReFlow Redemption Service. The ReFlow Redemption Service provides participating funds with a source of cash to meet net shareholder redemptions by standing ready each business day to purchase fund shares up to the value of the net shares redeemed from the fund, subject to certain limitations. Following purchases of fund shares, ReFlow then generally redeems those shares when the fund experiences net sales, at the end of a maximum holding period determined by ReFlow (currently at 7 days), or at other times at ReFlow's discretion. In the event a Fund uses the ReFlow Redemption Service, the Fund will pay a fee to ReFlow each time ReFlow purchases Fund shares, calculated by multiplying the value of shares ReFlow purchases by a rate determined through an automated daily auction. The current minimum fee rate is 0.14% of the value of the Fund shares purchased by ReFlow, although a Fund may submit a bid at a higher fee rate if it determines that doing so is in the best interest of Fund shareholders. ReFlow's purchases of a Fund's shares through the liquidity program are made on an investment-blind basis without regard to a Fund's objective, policies or anticipated performance. In accordance with federal securities laws, ReFlow is prohibited from acquiring more than 3% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. ReFlow fees that were incurred by the Funds during the year ended December 31, 2025 are recorded within the Statement of Operations, if applicable.

14. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT:
The Fund adopted FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 ("ASU 2023-09"), Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosure requirements in order to increase disclosure consistency, bifurcate income tax information by jurisdiction and remove information that is no longer beneficial. Adoption of this standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect any Fund's financial position or the results of its operations.
15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events. Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosures and/or adjustments were required to the financial statements.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

| DECEMBER 31, 2025 |
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Champlain Investment Partners, LLC investment companies since 2005.

Champlain Mid Cap Fund
Champlain Small Company Fund
Champlain Strategic Focus Fund
Pursuant to Section 15 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), the Funds' advisory agreement (the "Agreement") must be renewed at least annually after its initial two-year term: (i) by the vote of the Board of Trustees (the "Board" or the "Trustees") of The Advisors' Inner Circle Fund II (the "Trust") or by a vote of a majority of the shareholders of the Funds; and (ii) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Agreement or "interested persons" of any party thereto, as defined in the 1940 Act (the "Independent Trustees"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such renewal.
A Board meeting was held on November 18-19, 2025 to decide whether to renew the Agreement for an additional one-year term. In preparation for the meeting, the Trustees requested that the Adviser furnish information necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. Prior to the meeting, the Independent Trustees of the Funds met to review and discuss the information provided and submitted a request for additional information to the Adviser, and information was provided in response to this request. The Trustees used this information, as well as other information that the Adviser and other service providers of the Funds presented or submitted to the Board at the meeting and other meetings held during the prior year, to help them decide whether to renew the Agreement for an additional year.
Specifically, the Board requested and received written materials from the Adviser and other service providers of the Funds regarding: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services; (ii) the Adviser's investment management personnel; (iii) the Adviser's operations and financial condition; (iv) the Adviser's brokerage practices (including any soft dollar arrangements) and investment strategies; (v) the Funds' advisory fees paid to the Adviser and overall fees and operating expenses compared with peer groups of mutual funds; (vi) the level of the Adviser's profitability from its relationship with the Funds, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to the Adviser and its affiliates; (vii) the Adviser's potential economies of scale; (viii) the Adviser's compliance program, including a description of material compliance matters and material compliance violations; (ix) the Adviser's policies on and compliance procedures for personal securities transactions; and (x) the Funds' performance compared with peer groups of mutual funds and the Funds' benchmark indices.
| 37 | CHAMPLAIN INVESTMENT PARTNERS |
| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND II | CHAMPLAIN FUNDS |
| DECEMBER 31, 2025 |
Representatives from the Adviser, along with other Fund service providers, presented additional information and participated in question and answer sessions at the Board meeting to help the Trustees evaluate the Adviser's services, fees and other aspects of the Agreement. The Independent Trustees received advice from independent counsel and met in executive sessions outside the presence of Fund management and the Adviser.
At the Board meeting, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, based on their evaluation of the information provided by the Adviser and other service providers of the Funds, renewed the Agreement. In considering the renewal of the Agreement, the Board considered various factors that they determined were relevant, including: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser; (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser; (iii) the costs of the services provided and profits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to the Adviser and its affiliates; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are being realized by the Adviser; and (v) whether fee levels reflect such economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors, as discussed in further detail below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the portfolio management services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, including the quality and continuity of the Adviser's portfolio management personnel, the resources of the Adviser, and the Adviser's compliance history and compliance program. The Trustees reviewed the terms of the Agreement. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser's investment and risk management approaches for the Funds. The most recent investment adviser registration form ("Form ADV") for the Adviser was available to the Board, as was the response of the Adviser to a detailed series of questions which included, among other things, information about the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser to the Funds.
The Trustees also considered other services provided to the Funds by the Adviser such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio transactions, monitoring adherence to the Funds' investment restrictions, and monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities laws and regulations. Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Adviser were sufficient to support renewal of the Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Funds and the Adviser
The Board was provided with regular reports regarding the Funds' performance over various time periods. The Trustees also reviewed reports prepared by the Funds' administrator comparing the Funds' performance to their benchmark indices and peer groups of mutual funds as classified by Lipper, an independent provider of investment company data, over various periods of time. Representatives from the Adviser provided information regarding and led discussions of factors impacting the performance of the Funds, outlining current market conditions and explaining their expectations and strategies for the future. The Trustees determined that the Funds' performance was satisfactory, or, where the Funds' performance was materially below their benchmarks and/or peer groups, the Trustees were satisfied by the reasons for the underperformance and/or the steps taken by the Adviser in an effort to improve the performance of the Funds. Based on this information, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations ,that the investment results that the Adviser had been able to achieve for the Funds were sufficient to support renewal of the Agreement.

Costs of Advisory Services, Profitability and Economies of Scale
In considering the advisory fees payable by the Funds to the Adviser, the Trustees reviewed, among other things, a report of the advisory fees paid to the Adviser. The Trustees also reviewed reports prepared by the Funds' administrator comparing the Funds' net and gross expense ratios and advisory fees to those paid by peer groups of mutual funds as classified by Lipper. The Trustees reviewed the management fees charged by the Adviser to other clients with comparable mandates. The Trustees considered any differences in management fees and took into account the respective demands, resources and complexity associated with the Funds and other client accounts as well as the extensive regulatory, compliance and tax regimes to which the Funds are subject. The Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the advisory fees were reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services rendered by the Adviser.
The Trustees reviewed the costs of services provided by and the profits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds, including both direct benefits and indirect benefits, such as research and brokerage services received under soft dollar arrangements, accruing to the Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees considered how the Adviser's profitability was affected by factors such as its organizational structure and method for allocating expenses. The Trustees concluded that the profit margins of the Adviser with respect to the management of the Funds were not unreasonable. The Board also considered the Adviser's commitment to managing the Funds and its willingness to continue its expense limitation and fee waiver arrangements with the Funds.
The Trustees considered the Adviser's views relating to economies of scale in connection with the Funds as Fund assets grow and the extent to which the benefits of any such economies of scale are shared with the Funds and Fund shareholders. The Board considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those were passed along to the Funds' shareholders through a graduated advisory fee schedule or other means, including fee waivers. The Trustees recognized that economies of scale are difficult to identify and quantify and are rarely identifiable on a fund-by-fund basis. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the information that was provided to the Trustees by the Adviser with respect to economies of scale.
Renewal of the Agreement
Based on the Board's deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above and other factors and information it believed relevant in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of Fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, unanimously concluded that the terms of the Agreement, including the fees payable thereunder, were fair and reasonable and agreed to renew the Agreement for another year. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any absence of information as material to its decision, or any particular factor (or conclusion with respect thereto) or single piece of information that was all-important, controlling or determinative of its decision, but considered all of the factors together, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors (and conclusions with respect thereto) and information.
