How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

Equity market performance early in the period was characterized by a "risk-on" environment, as investor optimism regarding future earnings growth and lower interest rates outweighed concerns about mixed economic data and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties. The latter part of the period was characterized by a material shift into value and small cap styles as investors reevaluated economic growth forecasts, sold winners to move into sectors that had lagged year to date, and positioned in more defensive sectors which presented substantial headwinds to fund performance.

Asset flows to the Fund remained stable during the six months ended February 28, 2026, allowing the managers to focus on executing our strategy. The Fund had steady performance versus its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, slightly beating the Index return with a lower Beta (0.70) and low correlation (0.63) even in a difficult environment for growth style investing. This type of return is in line with our expectations for the Fund's strategy.

Good stock selection, particularly in the Technology and Industrials sectors, positively impacted performance. Communications was the Fund's worst performance sector. Hedging costs were a slight drag on performance but were mostly offset through a productive covered-call writing program.

Fund performance benefited from long positions in Coherent Corp. and Ciena Corp., both direct beneficiaries of AI investment spending. The Fund had some exposure to software during the period which came under significant pressure as concerns of AI driven obsolescence negatively impacted share prices.

The investment team continues to believe that the Fund's unique long/short strategy is tailor made for a sustained period of higher volatility in markets. This combined with movement back toward active equity management including single stock selection, sector and style concentration, and hedging downside market risk should position OHFGX investors for capital preservation combined with higher risk adjusted equity returns in the coming years.

Oak Harvest Long/Short Hedged Equity Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
February 28, 2026 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

The Oak Harvest Long/Short Hedged Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a non-diversified series of Capitol Series Trust (the “Trust”) on October 19, 2023. The Trust is an open-end investment company established under the laws of Ohio by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated September 18, 2013, as amended and restated November 18, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series without par value. The Fund is one of a series of funds currently authorized by the Board. The Fund’s investment adviser is Oak Harvest Investment Services, LLC (the “Adviser”). The investment objective of the Fund is to seek capital appreciation.

The Fund currently offers one class of shares, Institutional Shares. The Fund commenced operations on December 18, 2023. Each share represents an equal proportionate interest in the assets and liabilities belonging to the Fund and is entitled to such dividends and distributions out of income belonging to the Fund as are declared by the Board.

The Fund has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Updated 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosure only and did not affect the Fund’s 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 Fund’s CODM is the President and Principal Executive Officer of the Trust. The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The Fund’s income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of the Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Oak Harvest Long/Short Hedged Equity Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
February 28, 2026 (Unaudited)

Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts 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.

Short Sales - The Fund may make short sales as part of its overall portfolio management strategies or to offset a potential decline in value of a security. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to various types of securities, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs). A short sale involves the sale of a security that is borrowed from a broker or other institution to complete the sale. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to securities it owns, as well as securities that it does not own. Short sales expose the Fund to the risk that it will be required to acquire, convert or exchange securities to replace the borrowed securities (also known as “covering” the short position) at a time when the securities sold short have appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund.

The amount of loss may exceed the proceeds received in a short sale. The Fund’s investment performance may also suffer if the Fund is required to close out a short position earlier than it had intended. The Fund must segregate assets determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures established by the Board, or otherwise cover its position in a permissible manner. The Fund will be required to pledge liquid assets to the broker in order to secure its performance on short sales. As a result, the assets pledged may not be available to meet the Fund’s needs for immediate cash or other liquidity. In addition, the Fund may be subject to expenses related to short sales that are not typically associated with investing in securities directly, such as costs of borrowing and margin account maintenance costs associated with the Fund’s open short positions. These types of short sales expenses are sometimes referred to as the “negative cost of carry,” and will reduce the Fund’s potential return on a short sale. The amount of restricted cash or cash equivalents held at the broker as collateral for securities sold short was $5,457,403 as of February 28, 2026.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Idle cash may be swept into various interest bearing overnight demand deposits and is classified as a cash equivalent on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund maintains cash in the bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limit of $250,000. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.

Federal Income Taxes - The Fund makes no provision for federal income or excise tax. The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of its taxable income. The Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment

11

Oak Harvest Long/Short Hedged Equity Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
February 28, 2026 (Unaudited)

income and net realized capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Fund could incur a tax expense.

The Fund recognizes tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the previous three tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements and does not expect this to change over the next twelve months. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Expenses - Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual funds of the Trust based on each fund’s relative net assets or another appropriate basis (as determined by the Board).

Security Transactions and Related Income - Throughout the reporting period, security transactions are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, security transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

Dividends and Distributions - The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income, if any, at least quarterly. The Fund intends to distribute its net realized capital gains, if any, annually. Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Fund.

February 28, 2026 (Unaudited)

Derivatives - The Fund may invest in various types of derivative instruments (such as options, futures contracts, and forward contracts) to gain or hedge exposure to certain types of securities as an alternative to investing directly in or selling such securities. The Fund may use derivatives for hedging purposes, including to attempt to protect against possible changes in the market value of securities held or to be purchased for the Fund’s portfolio resulting from securities markets, currency exchange rate or interest rate fluctuations (i.e., to hedge); protect the Fund’s unrealized gains reflected in the value of its portfolio securities; facilitate the sale of such securities for investment purposes; and as a substitute for buying or selling securities, securities indices or currencies. The Fund may also use derivatives for nonhedging (speculative) purposes including to enhance a Fund’s returns. The Fund may use any or all of these investment techniques and different types of derivative securities may be purchased at any time and in any combination. There is no particular strategy that dictates the use of one technique rather than another, as use of derivatives is a function of numerous variables, including market conditions.

Options and Futures Transactions - The Fund may purchase and sell exchange traded and OTC put and call options on securities, on indexes of securities and other types of instruments. The Fund may also purchase and sell futures contracts on securities and indexes of securities and other instruments such as interest rate futures and global interest rate futures. Each of these instruments is a derivative instrument as its value derives from the underlying asset or index.

The following tables identify the location and fair value of derivative instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of February 28, 2026, and the effect of derivative instruments on the Statements of Operations for the six months ended February 28, 2026.

NOTE 3. NON-DIVERSIFICATION RISK

The Fund is non-diversified, which means it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers as compared to other mutual funds that are more broadly diversified. As a result, the Fund’s share price may be more volatile than the share price of

14

Oak Harvest Long/Short Hedged Equity Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
February 28, 2026 (Unaudited)

some other mutual funds, and the poor performance of an individual holding in the Fund’s portfolio may have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s performance.

NOTE 4. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Fund values its portfolio securities at fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each business day the NYSE is open for business. Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.

Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk (the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained and available from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments and/or registered investment companies where the value per share is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions for identical assets or liabilities at the valuation date
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for an identical security in an inactive market, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments based on the best information available)

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy which

15

Oak Harvest Long/Short Hedged Equity Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
February 28, 2026 (Unaudited)

is reported is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

In computing the NAV of the Fund, fair value is based on market valuations with respect to portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available. Pursuant to Board approved policies, the Fund relies on independent third-party pricing services to provide the current market value of securities. Those pricing services value equity securities, including exchange-traded funds, exchange-traded notes, closed-end funds and preferred stocks, traded on a securities exchange at the last reported sales price on the principal exchange. Equity securities quoted by Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. If there is no reported sale on the principal exchange, equity securities are valued at the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked price. When using market quotations or close prices provided by the pricing service and when the market is considered active, the security will be classified as a Level 1 security. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including money market mutual funds, are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the pricing service of the funds and are generally categorized as Level 1 securities.

In the event that market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable due to market or other events, securities are valued in good faith by the Adviser as “valuation designee” under the oversight of the Board. The Adviser has adopted written policies and procedures for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser pursuant to its policies and procedures. On a quarterly basis, the Adviser’s fair valuation determinations will be reviewed by the Board. Under these policies, the securities will be classified as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy, depending on the inputs used.

In accordance with the Trust’s Portfolio Valuation Procedures, the Adviser, as Valuation Designee, is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above. No single standard exists for determining fair value, because fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of an issue of securities being valued pursuant to the Trust’s Fair Value Guidelines would be the amount which the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accordance with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) a discount from market prices of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (iii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods. Fair value pricing is permitted

16

Oak Harvest Long/Short Hedged Equity Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
February 28, 2026 (Unaudited)

if, in accordance with the Trust’s Portfolio Valuation Procedures, the validity of market quotations appears to be questionable based on factors such as evidence of a thin market in the security based on a small number of quotations, a significant event occurs after the close of a market but before the Fund’s NAV calculation that may affect a security’s value, or other data calls into question the reliability of market quotations.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of February 28, 2026:

Assets Valuation Inputs
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Common Stocks (a) $ 97,847,662 $ - $ - $ 97,847,662

The Fund did not hold any investments during or at the end of the reporting period for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value; therefore, no reconciliation of Level 3 securities is included for this reporting period.

NOTE 5. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS

Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”), the Adviser manages the Fund’s investments subject to approval of the Board. As compensation for its management services, the Fund is obligated to pay the Adviser a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 1.95% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the six months ended February 28, 2026, the Adviser earned fees of $873,225 from the Fund. At February 28, 2026, the Fund owed the Adviser $119,051.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses so that total annual operating expenses (excluding (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions; (iv) other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business; (v) dividend expenses on short sales; and (vi) indirect expenses such as acquired fund fees and expenses) and expenses) do not exceed 1.95% of the Fund’s average daily net assets through February 28, 2025 (“Expense

February 28, 2029 144,861

The Trust retains Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (the “Administrator”) to provide the Fund with administration, fund accounting, and transfer agent services, including all regulatory reporting. Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC (“NLCS”), an affiliate of the Administrator, provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust, as well as related compliance services, pursuant to a consulting agreement between NLCS and the Trust.

The Board supervises the business activities of the Trust. Each Trustee serves as a Trustee for the lifetime of the Trust or until the earlier of his or her required retirement as a Trustee at age 78 (which may be extended for up to two years in an emeritus capacity at the pleasure and request of the Board), or until he/she dies, resigns, or is removed, whichever is sooner. “Independent Trustees”, meaning those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act, as amended, have each received an annual retainer of $2,000 per Fund and $500 per Fund for each quarterly Board meeting. The Trust also reimburses Trustees for out-of-pocket expense incurred in conjunction with attendance at Board meetings.

Officers of the Trust are employees of the Administrator or NLCS and such persons are not paid by the Fund for serving in such capacities.

Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the principal distributor of the Fund’s shares. The Distributor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Administrator. The Distributor is compensated by the Adviser (not the Fund) for acting as principal underwriter.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement

At a quarterly meeting of the Board of Trustees of Capitol Series Trust (the “Trust”) on September 11, 2025, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including all of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) as that term is defined in Section 2(a) (19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), considered and approved the continuation for an additional one-year period the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Oak Harvest Investment Services, LLC (“Oak Harvest” or “Adviser”) (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with respect to the Oak Harvest Long/Short Hedged Equity Fund (the “Oak Harvest Fund” or the “Fund”), a series of the Trust.

Prior to the meeting, the Trustees received and considered information from Oak Harvest and the Trust’s administrator designed to provide the Trustees with the information necessary to evaluate the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Such information included, but was not limited to: Oak Harvest’s response to counsel’s due diligence letter requesting information relevant to the approval of the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the operating expense limitation agreement between the Trust and Oak Harvest with respect to the Oak Harvest Fund (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) and peer group expense data provided by Broadridge for comparative purposes (collectively, the “Support Materials”). At various times, the Trustees reviewed the Support Materials with Oak Harvest, with Trust management, and with counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Trustees noted the completeness of the Support Materials provided by Oak Harvest, which included both responses and materials provided in response to initial and supplemental due diligence requests. Representatives from Oak Harvest met with the Trustees and provided further information, including but not limited to: details of the services that Oak Harvest provides to the Fund and the management fee paid for those services; fund performance, the business strategy for the Fund; the ownership and financial condition of the Adviser and its controlling affiliates; Oak Harvest’s resources available to service the Fund, including compliance resources; the portfolio management, research and other resources of Oak Harvest that are utilized in the management of the Oak Harvest Fund; Oak Harvest’s business continuity and succession planning; other investment strategies managed by Oak Harvest; and the profitability of the Fund to Oak Harvest. This information formed the primary, but not exclusive, basis for the Board’s determinations.

Before voting to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Support Materials with Trust management and with counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Trustees also received a

21

Additional Information (Unaudited) (continued)

memorandum from counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement, which memorandum described the various factors that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and U.S. Courts over the years have suggested would be appropriate for trustee consideration in the advisory agreement approval process, including the factors outlined in the case of Gartenberg v. Merrill Lynch Asset Management Inc., 694 F.2d 923, 928 (2d Cir. 1982); cert. denied sub. nom. and Andre v. Merrill Lynch Ready Assets Trust, Inc., 461 U.S. 906 (1983).

In determining whether to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered all factors they believed to be relevant with respect to the Fund, including the following: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Oak Harvest; (2) the cost of the services provided and the profits realized by Oak Harvest from services rendered to the Trust with respect to the Fund; (3) comparative fee and expense data for the Fund and other investment companies with similar investment objectives; (4) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows and whether the advisory fee for the Fund reflects these economies of scale for the Fund’s benefit; and (5) other financial benefits to Oak Harvest resulting from services rendered to the Fund. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling.

After having received and reviewed the Support Materials, as well as quarterly investment performance, compliance, operating, and distribution reports on the Fund since its inception, and noting additional discussions with representatives of Oak Harvest that had occurred at various times, the Trustees determined that they had all of the information they deemed reasonably necessary to make an informed decision concerning the approval of the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees discussed the facts and factors relevant to the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement, which incorporated and reflected their knowledge of Oak Harvest’s services provided to the Fund, which included, but was not limited to: (i) the services provided by Oak Harvest to the Fund and the resources available to support the Fund; (ii) asset growth in the Fund; (iii) the Fund’s performance compared to its benchmark index, the Equity Hedged Morningstar peer group category and the custom peer group presented in the report provided by Broadridge; (iv) the Fund’s fees compared to the Equity Hedged Morningstar peer group category and the custom peer group presented in the report provided by Broadridge; and (v) the overall fiscal health of the firm, among other topics. With regard to Broadridge’s custom peer group comparison, the Trustees noted that the peer funds included for comparison were drawn from the Morningstar Equity Hedged category with adjustments to exclude fund of funds, retirement share classes and funds charging a Rule 12b-1 fee. With regard to profitability overall, the Trustees reviewed the financial statements provided by Oak Harvest, as contained in the Support Materials. The Trustees discussed the fee structure of the Oak Harvest Fund, including the management fee of 1.95% and expense limitation arrangement in place limiting the average daily net assets of the Fund to 1.95%. In that regard, the Trustees also noted that Oak Harvest was continuing the Expense Limitation Agreement through December 31, 2026. The Trustees discussed the peer group comparisons presented in the Support Materials and the appropriateness of fee breakpoints as the Fund’s net assets increase. At the conclusion of the discussion, it was determined by the Board that fee breakpoints are not necessary at this time. The Trustees noted that the overall profitability of Oak Harvest was good and discussed Oak Harvest’s commitment to the Fund. The Trustees noted that Oak Harvest realized a modest profit at an asset level of $67.5 million and would continue to be profitable with respect to the Oak

Harvest Fund as assets levels grow. The Trustees also considered the insurance policies in place on behalf of Oak Harvest, including errors and omissions insurance and cybersecurity insurance, to address unforeseen contingencies. The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis of the Trustees’ determination to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement are summarized below.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided. The Trustees considered the scope of services that Oak Harvest provides under the Investment Advisory Agreement, noting that such services include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) investing the Oak Harvest Fund’s assets consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and investment policies; (2) determining the portfolio securities to be purchased, sold or otherwise disposed of and the timing of such transactions; (3) voting all proxies with respect to the Oak Harvest Fund’s portfolio securities; (4) maintaining the required books and records for transactions that Oak Harvest effects on behalf of the Oak Harvest Fund; (5) selecting broker-dealers to execute orders on behalf of the Oak Harvest Fund; and (6) performing compliance services on behalf of the Oak Harvest Fund. They also noted that from its own resources, Oak Harvest provides marketing support services to the Oak Harvest Fund and its intermediary partners. The Trustees considered Oak Harvest’s capitalization and its assets under management and the support and commitment of Oak Harvest to the Oak Harvest Fund. The Trustees further considered the investment philosophy and investment industry experience of the portfolio managers. The Trustees also noted the research methodology utilized by Oak Harvest to manage the Oak Harvest Fund’s portfolio in accordance with its investment strategy. The Trustees also considered information regarding Oak Harvest’s succession planning, insurance coverage, disaster recovery and contingency plans and data protection safeguards, among other things.

The Trustees also noted the Oak Harvest Fund’s performance compared to its prospectus benchmark, the S&P 500 TR Index. The Trustees considered that the Oak Harvest Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the quarter-ended June 30, 2025, was in line with the benchmark index for the one-year period, and underperformed compared to the index for the since inception period. The Trustees also considered the Oak Harvest Fund’s performance compared to the Morningstar Equity Hedged category and those of other funds in the custom peer group analysis provided by Broadridge. The Trustees noted that the custom peer group category analysis of Broadridge was drawn from the Morningstar category with exclusions for retirement share classes, funds charging a Rule 12b-1 fee and fund of funds. The appropriateness of Broadridge’s peer group analysis was discussed. The Trustees noted that the Oak Harvest Fund outperformed both the Morningstar category median and the Broadridge custom peer group median for the one-year and since inception periods ended June 30, 2025. The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of services that Oak Harvest provides to the Oak Harvest Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Cost of Advisory Services and Profitability. The Trustees considered the annual management fee that the Oak Harvest Fund pays to Oak Harvest under the Investment Advisory Agreement, as well as the profitability analysis provided by Oak Harvest resulting from the services that it renders to the Oak Harvest Fund, noting that the profitability was modest at assets under management in the Fund of $67.5 million. The Trustees noted that profitability to Oak Harvest would increase as Fund assets grow. The Trustees considered that Oak Harvest contractually agreed to reduce its management fees and, if necessary, reimburse the Oak Harvest Fund for operating expenses, as specified in the

Additional Information (Unaudited) (continued)

Fund’s prospectus and the Expense Limitation Agreement through December 31, 2026. The Trustees considered Oak Harvest’s profitability with respect to its advisory relationship with the Oak Harvest Fund and concluded that it was reasonable.

Comparative Fee and Expense Data. The Trustees noted that the Oak Harvest Fund’s management fee, and expense ratios, both gross and net of expenses, were higher than both the Morningstar category and Broadridge custom peer group average and median. The Trustees further considered the fees paid by Oak Harvest’s separately managed accounts and other investment advisory relationships to other accounts with similar investment objectives and strategies to that of the Oak Harvest Fund, noting the differences in the services provided to these accounts compared to the services provided to the Oak Harvest Fund. In particular, they noted that Oak Harvest has different responsibilities with respect to the Oak Harvest Fund, including compliance, reporting and operational responsibilities. While recognizing that it is difficult to compare advisory fees because the scope of advisory services provided may vary from one investment adviser to another, or from one investment product to another, the Trustees concluded that Oak Harvest’s advisory fee was reasonable.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered whether the Oak Harvest Fund may benefit from any economies of scale. The Trustees did not find that any material economies of scale exist at this time and determined that fee breakpoints are not currently necessary or appropriate.

Other Benefits. The Trustees noted that Oak Harvest does not utilize soft dollar arrangements with respect to portfolio transactions and does not use affiliated brokers to execute the Oak Harvest Fund’s portfolio transactions. The Trustees noted that Oak Harvest had confirmed that there were no economic or other benefits to Oak Harvest associated with the selection or use of any particular providers for the Oak Harvest Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees noted the benefit to the Oak Harvest Fund of the cross-selling of the Fund’s shares to Oak Harvest’s clients. The Trustees concluded that, all things considered, Oak Harvest will not receive material additional financial benefits from services rendered to the Oak Harvest Fund.

Other Considerations. The Trustees also considered potential conflicts for Oak Harvest. Based on the assurances and representations from Oak Harvest, the Trustees concluded that no conflict of interest currently exists that could adversely impact the Oak Harvest Fund.

Conclusions. Based upon Oak Harvest’s presentation to the Board and the Support Materials considered in connection with the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as well as information provided during prior discussions with Oak Harvest management, the Board concluded that the overall arrangements between the Trust and Oak Harvest as set forth in the Investment Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable in light of the services that Oak Harvest performs, the investment advisory fees that the Oak Harvest Fund pays, and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment.
