Prior to February 27, 2026, you may redeem your shares, including reinvested distributions, in accordance with the “Selling (Redeeming) Your Shares” section in the Prospectus. Unless your investment in the Fund is through a tax-deferred retirement account, a redemption is subject to tax on any taxable gains. Please refer to the “Dividends, Distributions and Taxes” section in the Prospectus for general information. You may wish to consult your tax advisor about your particular situation.
ANY SHAREHOLDERS WHO HAVE NOT REDEEMED THEIR SHARES OF THE FUND PRIOR TO FEBRUARY 27, 2026 WILL HAVE THEIR SHARES AUTOMATICALLY REDEEMED AS OF THAT DATE, AND PROCEEDS WILL BE SENT TO THE ADDRESS OF RECORD.

5, purchases of shares of the Ancora MicroCap Fund must qualify under one of the following exceptions:
Retirement Plans — A defined contribution retirement plan (for example, 401(k) plans, profit sharing plans and money purchase plans), 403(b) plan or 4
57 plan that offers the Fund as of the Close Date may continue to accept additional investments by existing shareholders of the Fund for additional shares of the Fund.

Certain Ancora Affiliates — Current trustees or officers of Ancora Funds, employees of Ancora, or a member of the immediate family of any of these persons may invest in the Fund.
Once an account is closed, additional investments will not be accepted unless you meet one of the specified criteria above. Management reserves the right to: (i) make additional exceptions that, in its judgment, do not adversely affect its ability to manage Fund; (ii) reject any investment or refuse any exception, including those detailed above, that it believes will adversely affect its ability to manage the Fund; and (iii) close or re-open the Fund to new or existing shareholders at any time. An investment is subject to management’s determination of your eligibility to buy shares of the Fund and you may be required to provide additional documentation or otherwise demonstrate eligibility before an investment is accepted.
The closing of the Fund does not restrict you from redeeming or selling shares of the Fund. The other Ancora Funds remain open to all investors.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RETIREMENT PLAN INVESTORS
If you are a retirement plan investor, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the consequences of a redemption of Fund shares. If you receive a distribution from an Individual Retirement Account or a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA, you must roll the proceeds into another Individual Retirement Account within sixty (60) days of the date of the distribution in order to avoid having to include the distribution in your taxable income for the year. If you receive a distribution from a 403(b)(7) Custodian Account (Tax-Sheltered account) or a Keogh Account, you must roll the distribution into a similar type of retirement plan within sixty (60) days in order to avoid disqualification of your plan and the severe tax consequences that it can bring. If you are the trustee of a Qualified Retirement Plan, you may reinvest the money in any way permitted by the plan and trust agreement.
