AOT Software Platform ETF to Liquidate Following Weak Demand

Trading for the ticker AOTS will officially halt after the market close on August 18, 2026, marking the final opportunity for investors to purchase shares. Those holding positions beyond that date remain able to sell their holdings, though liquidity may tighten as market makers exit. The fund manager cautioned that portfolio composition may deviate from original investment objectives as the liquidation process begins and cash reserves are increased.

Following the final liquidation date, remaining assets will be distributed to shareholders of record on a pro rata basis. These distributions are expected to trigger taxable events, and the firm recommends that investors consult tax professionals regarding capital gains or losses. Once the final payments are issued, the fund will permanently terminate. PINE Distributors, LLC serves as the distributor for the ETF, while AOT Invest, LLC acts as the sub-adviser.
