The 30-day median bid/ask spread represents the NBBO (national best bid and best offer) at the end of each 10 second interval of each trading day during the last 30 calendar days (i.e., 9:30:00 to 9:30:09AM EST all the way through 3:59:50 to 3:59:59PM EST) for the ETF. The spread of each NBBO (difference between the bid and ask) is divided by the midpoint of the NBBO (average of the bid and ask). The median of those values over the trailing 30 calendar days is shown as a percentage. Fund shares commenced trading on 07/15/2024. Until the time the Fund has been active for 30 days, Median Bid/Ask Spread will reflect rolling data for the number of days the Fund has been active.
Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and may trade at a discount or premium to NAV. Shares are not individually redeemable from the Fund and may be only be acquired or redeemed from the Fund in creation units. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
Market Price is the official closing price as of the end of the prior business day from the primary listing exchange.

Pricing & Performance
The performance shown represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Portfolio will fluctuate, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance assumes reinvestment of distributions and does not account for taxes.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund/Portfolio carefully before investing. Please read the prospectus and/or summary prospectus carefully before investing.
Market returns are based on the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4 p.m. ET and do not represent the returns an investor would receive if shares were traded at other times.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund/Portfolio carefully before investing.

The net asset value (NAV) price is the value of one share of the Portfolio as of the date listed. The NAV does not take into account any initial sales charges that may apply when shares are purchased or redemption charges when shares are sold; if these sales charges were reflected, the Portfolio’s quoted performance would be lower. The NAV change is the change in value of one share of the Portfolio from the prior day’s value.

Because ETFs trade like stocks at current market prices, shareholders may pay more than a fund’s NAV when purchasing fund shares and may receive less than a fund’s NAV when selling fund shares. Before investing, consider the funds’ investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Review the prospectus or summary prospectus now, or talk to your financial advisor. Read it carefully before investing.
Premium or discount is the positive or negative difference between the market price of an ETF share and the ETF’s current NAV per share, expressed as a percentage of the ETF’s current NAV per share. Fund shares commenced trading on 07/15/2024. Premium/Discount data will be available following the first calendar quarter of the Fund’s initial operations.

© 2023 Morningstar, Inc. All rights reserved. The information contained herein: (1) is proprietary to Morningstar; (2) may not be copied or distributed; and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information.
The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or star rating, is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. The star rating is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10.0% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35.0% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10.0% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating™ for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36–59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60–119 months of total returns and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating perio.

Lipper ratings are based on total returns at net asset value, without the imposition of a sales charge, which would reduce total return figures. Funds in the Lipper category generally have similar investment objectives for the funds, although some may have different investment policies.

The reinvest price is the net asset value (NAV) price. The NAV price is the value of one share of the Fund as of the Ex Date. The NAV does not take into account any sales charges that may apply when shares are purchased or redeemed.
Distribution rate is calculated on a 30-day rolling basis by annualizing the average of the dividends distributed over the most recent 30-day period and dividing that figure by the current NAV. The 30-Day Yield represents net investment income earned by the Fund over the 30-Day period, expressed as an annual percentage rate based on the Fund's share price at the end of the 30-Day period. The 30-Day unsubsidized SEC Yield does not reflect any fee waivers/reimbursements/limits in effect. The distribution yield calculation does not include long-term or short-term capital gains distributions.

Risks To Consider
-
Investing in ETFs involves risk and there is no guarantee of principal.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund/Portfolio carefully before investing. For copies of our prospectus or summary prospectus, which contain this and other information, visit our Literature Center or contact your AB representative. Please read the prospectus and/or summary prospectus carefully before investing.
Shares of the ETF may be bought or sold throughout the day at their market price on the exchange on which they are listed. The market price of an ETF's shares may be at, above or below the ETF’s net asset value ("NAV") and will fluctuate with changes in the NAV as well as supply and demand in the market for the shares. Shares of the ETF may only be redeemed directly with the ETF at NAV by Authorized Participants, in very large creation units. There can be no guarantee that an active trading market for the Fund’s shares will develop or be maintained, or that their listing will continue or remain unchanged. Buying or selling the Fund’s shares on an exchange may require the payment of brokerage commissions and frequent trading may incur brokerage costs that detract significantly from investment returns.
-
Derivatives Risk: Derivatives may be difficult to price or unwind and may be leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate losses for the Fund.
-
Equity Securities Risk: The Fund invests in publicly traded equity securities, and their value may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, which means a security may be worth more or less than when it was purchased.
-
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Investment Risk: Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers may involve more risk than those of U.S. issuers. These securities may fluctuate more widely in price and may be more difficult to trade than domestic securities due to adverse market, economic, political, regulatory, or other factors.
-
Non-Diversification Risk: The Fund may have more risk because it is “non-diversified”, meaning that it can invest more of its assets in a smaller number of issuers. Accordingly, changes in the value of a single security may have a more significant effect, either negative or positive, on the Fund’s net asset value.
-
New Fund Risk: The Fund is a recently organized, giving prospective investors a limited track record on which to base their investment decision.

Prior to close of business on 7/15/2024, the AB International Low Volatility Equity ETF operated as an open-end mutual fund. The Fund has an identical investment objective and substantially similar investment strategies and investment risk profiles as the predecessor mutual fund. The NAV returns include returns of the Advisor Share Class of the predecessor mutual fund prior to the Fund’s commencement of operations. Performance for the Fund’s shares has not been adjusted to reflect the Fund’s shares’ lower expenses than those of the predecessor mutual fund’s Advisor Share Class. Had the predecessor fund been structured as an exchange-traded fund, its performance may have differed. Please refer to the current prospectus for further information. Prior to 7/15/2024, the Fund was called AB International Low Volatility Equity Portfolio. Data prior to 7/15/2024 relate to AB International Low Volatility Equity Portfolio.
