Effective July 4, 2018, the ETF’s underlying index changed to become the Indxx Global Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Thematic Index (the “IGRAIT Index”). Had RBOT continued to track the ROBO Index, its performance would have likely varied from its current performance, either positively or negatively (possibly significantly), consistent with the performance of the ROBO Index versus the IGRAIT Index.
