Corporate Action: Merger

Accession Number: 000089853125000049

Filing Summary: This document serves as an initial registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 for Hennessy Funds Trust, allowing the proposed merger between Listed Funds Trust's Target Funds (STF Tactical Growth & Income ETF and STF Tactical Growth ETF) and Hennessy Funds Trust's newly created funds (Hennessy Tactical Growth and Income ETF and Hennessy Tactical Growth ETF). The purpose is to seek shareholder approval for the reorganization where the Target Funds will transfer their assets to the corresponding Acquiring Funds in exchange for shares that will be distributed to shareholders pro rata. This strategy aims to enhance management quality and investor service through Hennessy Advisors, an established asset management firm. The mergers are designed to be tax-free reorganizations. Shareholder meetings are scheduled to approve the reorganization plan, and a unified management structure will be implemented post-merger. The proposals require majority approval to move forward, and shareholders are encouraged to vote promptly.
