Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 20, 2026) - Evolve Funds Group Inc. (TSX: EASY) ("Evolve" or the "Manager") is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary prospectus with the Canadian securities regulators for plans to list the Evolve All-in-One UltraYield ETF ("EASY" or the "Evolve Fund") on the Toronto Stock Exchange. EASY aims to offer investors modestly levered exposure to a portfolio of leading global companies with a covered call strategy and cash distributions paid twice per month.

"We are pleased to announce the filing of a preliminary prospectus for EASY, our All-In-One UltraYield ETF," said Raj Lala, President and CEO at Evolve. "This one-ticket solution provides exposure to a portfolio of our UltraYield ETFs, initially investing in BIGY, CANY, and INTY."

EASY seeks to provide attractive income and long-term capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of leading global equity securities that have the potential to generate significant option premiums. To enhance yield, as well as to mitigate risk and reduce volatility, EASY will employ a covered call option writing program at the discretion of the Manager. The level of covered call option writing may vary based on market volatility and other factors.

EASY will use modest leverage in order to seek to achieve its investment objective. Leverage will be created through the use of cash borrowings and/or Derivatives, or as otherwise permitted under applicable securities legislation.

Cash distributions, if any, on EASY will be paid at least twice per month, with the possibility of more frequent distributions at the Manager's discretion.

EASY's management fee is 0%. The underlying funds in which the Evolve Fund invests will pay applicable management fees. The management fees on Evolve US Equity UltraYield ETF ("BIGY"), Evolve Canadian Equity UltraYield ETF ("CANY") are 0.40% of net asset values, plus applicable sales taxes, and Evolve International Equity UltraYield ETF ("INTY") is 0.60% of net asset values, plus applicable sales taxes.
