Sequoia ETF

After careful deliberation, we are evolving Sequoia Fund Inc., our registered mutual fund, into an active exchange traded fund (“Sequoia ETF”). This new Sequoia ETF has been established to receive the portfolio assets of Sequoia Fund, Inc., our registered mutual fund.

At a special meeting of stockholders of Sequoia Fund, Inc. (“Sequoia Fund”) held on July 27, 2026, the stockholders approved the reorganization of Sequoia Fund into a newly-established exchange-traded fund, Sequoia ETF (the “ETF”) (Ticker: SEQ), which is a series of the Northern Lights Fund Trust II (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization is expected to close after the close of trading on or about October 16, 2026 (the “Closing Date”).

In preparation for the Closing Date, the last day to purchase shares of Sequoia Fund will be October 2, 2026. Redemption orders for Sequoia Fund shares must be placed by October 15, 2026, or Sequoia Fund shares will, subject to the exceptions set forth in the Combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus, be converted to ETF shares. Shares of the ETF are expected to begin trading on October 19, 2026 on the NYSE Arca, Inc.
