PITTSBURGH, Aug. 9, 2024 ~ Federated Hermes, Inc. (NYSE: FHI), a renowned global leader in active investing, has recently made an important announcement regarding its Federated Hermes ETF Trust. The Board of Trustees of the trust, on behalf of its portfolio, Federated Hermes MDT Large Cap Growth ETF (NYSE: FLCG), has approved a change in the fundamental policy with respect to diversification. This change will see the trust transition from a diversified company to a non-diversified one, subject to shareholder approval.

The Board of Trustees has also set Aug. 19, 2024 as the record date for majority shareholder consent action to be determined on Aug. 23, 2024. As an affiliate of the Fund's adviser currently holds a large majority of the Fund's shares and is expected to continue to hold a majority as of the record date, it is anticipated that the proposed change will be approved by written consent in lieu of a shareholder meeting. This means that no proxy or solicitation will be necessary for this approval process.

If approved in this manner, the change is expected to take effect on Aug. 26, 2024. The Fund's principal investment strategy involves seeking exposure to companies listed in the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the "Index") in relation to their index weightings. However, it is important to note that the Fund is not designed to track the overall composition or returns of the Index and its investment adviser actively manages its investment strategy.

This change in fundamental policy is not expected to significantly impact the Fund's principal investment strategies.
