Filing Summary: On May 5, 2025, KraneShares Trust announced the liquidation and termination of three funds: KraneShares Dynamic Emerging Markets Strategy ETF, KraneShares Rockefeller Ocean Engagement ETF, and KraneShares MSCI All China Index ETF. This action was approved by the Board of Trustees upon the recommendation of Krane Funds Advisors, LLC. The shares of each Fund will stop trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. at the close of regular trading on May 20, 2025.
