SHAREHOLDER LETTER
Dear Shareholders,
When we developed the YieldMax™ Option Income Strategy ETFs (the “Funds”) in 2022, our goal was to construct a portfolio that
generates monthly income by selling/writing call options on a single equity - initially, TSLA – This strategy aims to harvest compelling
yields, while retaining capped participation in the price gains of the underlying equity (asset).
Each of the Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek current income. Each of the Fund’s secondary investment objective is to seek
exposure to the share price of the common stock of the underlying stock subject to a limit on potential investment gains. There are three main
steps in the process:
1) Utilizing Synthetic long exposure to the underlying, which allows the Funds to seek to participate in the changes, up or down, in
the price of the underlying’s stock.
2) Covered call writing (where the underlying call options are sold against the synthetic long portion of the strategy), which allows
the Funds to generate income.
3) Purchase of U.S. Treasuries, which are collateral for the options holdings, and which also generate income.
Each of the Funds will seek to provide monthly income in the form of distributions. Each of the Funds will seek to generate such income
in the following ways:
• Writing (selling) call option contracts on the underlying as described above. The income, in the form of option premiums
received from such option sales, will be primarily influenced by the volatility of the underlying stock, although other factors,
including interest rates, will also impact the level of income.
• Investing in short-term U.S. Treasury securities. The income generated by these securities will be influenced by interest rates at
the time of investment.
Performance Update
The YieldMax™ Option Income Strategy ETFs were launched across various dates in 2022 and 2023.
The table illustrates the YieldMax™ ETFs that were active through the year ending 10/31/2023. Returns are total returns of NAV price
including dividends reinvested. Also noted are the inception dates where the earliest ETF tickers are listed first.
Since on the ex-dividend date a security is reduced by the amount of the dividend, the total return is a more complete way to evaluate one’s
holdings. This is especially pertinent with a strategy targeting high current income.
Since reinvesting dividends builds one’s share count, it is an effective approach to potential compounding of dividends.

Tesla, the underlying, saw quite amount of volatility that included several large drawdowns with subsequent fast recoveries.
Since investors cap the upside in exchange for the premium sold, they experienced the drawdown but were limited in how much of the
recovery they captured. This is always a possibility given the price behavior of Tesla. We also saw the implied volatility levels come down
from where they were in late 2022 and early 2023.
The amount of potential option premium received from selling covered calls is largely dependent on the level of implied volatility in the
options market.
The relative implied volatility of TSLA remains high compared to the broad market which the fund captured to maintain a high dividend
consistent with the primary goal of current income. We the opportunity to generate higher monthly dividends to continue.
Nvidia, the underlying, experienced a strong uptrend followed by a wide but range bound price action.
Nvidia’s implied volatility remained robust, especially around several announcement cycles. Due to these factors, the fund was able to not
only realize capital appreciation but also strong option premium capture leading to positive returns since inception.
It was a good example of how the fund can capture some upside up to the cap set by selling covered calls to generate premium capture.
One of the newer funds to the lineup was able to capture a combination of high option premium through covered call selling with some
upside appreciate capture.
Coinbase, the underlying, has been in a strong uptrend combined with very high implied volatility. This combination has proven productive
thus far for the fund in its mandate to generate high current income.
• When the underlying asset moves slightly higher thus presenting the opportunity to capture some price appreciation and
extrinsic premium.
• When the underlying asset moves lower, the Funds intend to lose less due to the offset of the premium received.
• The YieldMax™ Option Income Strategy ETFs will underperform when the underlying equity is making a strong move up. Since
investors in the Funds give up upside in exchange for the premium received to sell a covered call.
• During periods of lower implied volatility where the amount of premium available drops, it leads to potentially lower
monthly dividends.
Looking Ahead
We believe investors in the Funds are well positioned to capitalize on the implied volatility inherent in the underlying security by taking
in premium from the sale of covered calls.
At the same time, investors can participate in some limited upside as usual per a covered call writing strategy.
While covered calls are not intended to provide material hedges on the underlying, the premium received may reduce the downside by
the amount of the option premium sold.

Year to date the economy has defied many prognostications by avoiding a recession declared by the NBER (National Bureau of Economic
Research). At the same time the S&P 500 Index has recovered from the late 2022 lows while earnings estimates for fiscal 2024 have risen.
Estimates for potential cuts to interest rates by the Federal Reserve have been forecasted evidenced by the Fed Funds futures markets.
Tailwinds for equity markets might include better than expected earnings, a more dovish Fed, no recession, solid employment situation,
and investors willing to pay more for future growth with a reflating of the forward price to earnings multiple.
Headwinds might include renewed inflation, a Fed that settles on a “higher-for-longer” rate strategy, softer earnings, problems within the
credit markets, or a reduction in the forward price to earnings multiple. Since 2024 is a Presidential election year, this adds an additional
dimension of risk and potential volatility to markets.
For these reasons, we believe that investors should consider holding alternative income strategies within their overall portfolio.
We feel this potentially gives investors the ability to take advantage of higher implied volatility to generate monthly income via dividends
while generating returns during sideways to slight up or down markets over the period each synthetic covered call is established for.
Due to an interest rate environment where US treasuries are paying a more normalized rate of return, these allow for the Fund to generate
additional income in addition to premium generated by the covered call premium selling.
The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment
return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth
more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance
current to the most recent month-end can be obtained by calling 833-415-4006. Short-term performance, in particular, is not a good
indication of the fund’s future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns. Returns beyond 1 year are
annualized. A fund’s NAV is the sum of all its assets less any liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding. The market price is
the most recent price at which the fund was traded. The fund intends to pay out dividends and interest income, if any, monthly. There is
no guarantee these distributions will be made.
Equity Market Risk. The equity securities underlying the Fund’s option investments may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value.
Derivatives Risk. The Fund invests in options, which are a form of derivative investment. Derivatives have risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of
such instruments and the underlying assets or index; the loss of principal, including the potential loss of amounts greater than the initial amount invested in the derivative
instrument; and illiquidity of the derivative investments. The derivatives used by the Fund may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain
and the risk of loss. Fixed Income Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in fixed income securities directly or through ETFs or other investment companies. Fixed income
securities are subject to interest rate risk (discussed further herein), call risk, prepayment and extension risk, credit risk (discussed further herein), and liquidity risk. Interest
rates may go up resulting in a decrease in the value of the fixed income securities held by the Fund. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer will not make timely payments of
principal and interest. Non-Diversification Risk. Because the Fund is “nondiversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or
a smaller number of issuers than if it was a diversified fund. As a result, a decline in the value of an investment in a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers could cause
the Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Fund held a more diversified portfolio. New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management
investment company with no operating history.
As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the
Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and
demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility.

S&P 500® Total Return Index
The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund
shares. The chart assumes reinvestment of capital gains, dividends, and return of capital, if applicable, for a fund and dividends for
an index.
Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value
of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current
performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end
may be obtained by calling (866) 864-3968. The Fund’s expense ratio is 0.99% (as of the Fund’s most recently filed Prospectus).

YieldMax ETFs
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATIONAL
The YieldMax ETFs (defined below) (each a “Fund”, and collectively the “Funds”) are each a series of Tidal Trust II (the “Trust”).
The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on January 13, 2022. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment
company and the offering of the Funds’ shares (“Shares”) is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Tidal Investments
LLC (f/k/a Toroso Investments, LLC) (“Tidal Investments” or the “Adviser”), a Tidal Financial Group company, serves as investment
adviser to the Funds and ZEGA Financial, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) serves as sub-adviser to the Funds. The Funds are considered non-
diversified under the 1940 Act. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and
reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial
Services – Investment Companies” including FASB Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2013-08.
The secondary objective of each Fund is to seek exposure to the share price of their underlying common stock, subject to a limit on
potential investment gains.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
A. Security Valuation. Equity securities that are listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which
quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on the NASDAQ, including securities traded over the counter, are
valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on the
valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 p.m. EST if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is
no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price or mean between the most recent quoted bid and
ask prices for long and short positions. For a security that trades on multiple exchanges, the primary exchange will generally
be considered the exchange on which the security is generally most actively traded. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the
NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Prices of securities traded on the securities exchange will be obtained from
recognized independent pricing agents (“Independent Pricing Agents”) each day that the Funds are open for business.

YieldMax ETFs
Debt securities are valued by using an evaluated mean of the bid and asked prices provided by Independent Pricing Agents. The
Independent Pricing Agents may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions (if the security is actively traded),
broker dealer supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. In arriving
at valuations, such methodologies generally consider factors such as security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and
developments relating to specific securities.
Options are valued at the last quoted sales price. If there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, both long and short
positions are valued at the mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask prices.
FLexible EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) listed on an exchange will typically be valued at a model-based price provided
by the exchange at the official close of that exchange’s trading day. However, when the Fund’s option has a same-day market
trade price, this same-day market trade price will be used for FLEX Option values instead of the exchange’s model-based
price. If the exchange on which the option is traded is unable to provide a model price, model-based FLEX Options prices will
additionally be provided by a backup third-party pricing provider. In selecting the model prices, the Sub-Adviser may provide
a review of the calculation of model prices provided by each vendor, and may note to such vendors of any data errors observed,
or where an underlying component value of the model pricing package may be missing or incorrect, prior to publication by
the vendor of the model pricing to the Fund Accounting Agent for purposes of that day’s NAV. If either pricing vendor is not
available to provide a model price for that day, the value of a FLEX Option will be determined by the Pricing Committee in
accordance with the Valuation Procedures (as defined below). In instances where in the same trading day a particular FLEX
Option is both represented in an all-cash basket (either a creation unit or redemption unit), as well as in an in-kind basket (either
a creation unit or redemption unit), for valuation purposes that trading day the Fund will default to use the trade price for both
instances, rather than using the model price otherwise available for the in-kind transaction.
Under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, a fair value will be determined for securities for which quotations are not readily available by
the Valuation Designee (as defined in Rule 2a-5) in accordance with the Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures,
as applicable, of the Adviser, subject to oversight by the Board. When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given to the
facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the Adviser’s Pricing
and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures, as applicable. Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no
single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security.
The use of fair value pricing by a Fund may cause the net asset value (“NAV”) of its shares to differ significantly from the NAV
that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.
As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis. U.S.
GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices
for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing
the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability and
would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for
example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and
other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable
or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment
exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure
purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based
on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

B. Derivative Instruments. As the buyer of a call option, each Fund has a right to buy the underlying reference instrument (e.g., a
currency or security) at the exercise price at any time during the option period (for American style options). The Funds may enter
into closing sale transactions with respect to call options, exercise them, or permit them to expire. For example, each Fund may
buy call options on underlying reference instruments that they intends to buy with the goal of limiting the risk of a substantial
increase in their market price before the purchase is effected. Unless the price of the underlying reference instrument changes
sufficiently, a call option purchased by each Fund may expire without any value to the Funds, in which case such Funds would
experience a loss to the extent of the premium paid for the option plus related transaction costs.
As the buyer of a put option, each Fund has the right to sell the underlying reference instrument at the exercise price at any
time during the option period (for American style options). Like a call option, the Funds may enter into closing sale transactions
with respect to put options, exercise them or permit them to expire. Each Fund may buy a put option on an underlying reference
instrument owned by the Funds (a protective put) as a hedging technique in an attempt to protect against an anticipated decline in
the market value of the underlying reference instrument. Such hedge protection is provided only during the life of the put option
when the Funds, as the buyer of the put option, are able to sell the underlying reference instrument at the put exercise price,
regardless of any decline in the underlying instrument’s market price. The Funds may also seek to offset a decline in the value of
the underlying reference instrument through appreciation in the value of the put option. A put option may also be purchased with
the intent of protecting unrealized appreciation of an instrument when the Sub-Adviser deems it desirable to continue to hold the
instrument because of tax or other considerations. The premium paid for the put option and any transaction costs would reduce
any short-term capital gain that may be available for distribution when the instrument is eventually sold. Buying put options at a
time when the buyer does not own the underlying reference instrument allows the buyer to benefit from a decline in the market
price of the underlying reference instrument, which generally increases the value of the put option.
If a put option was not terminated in a closing sale transaction when it has remaining value, and if the market price of the
underlying reference instrument remains equal to or greater than the exercise price during the life of the put option, the buyer
would not make any gain upon exercise of the option and would experience a loss to the extent of the premium paid for the
option plus related transaction costs. In order for the purchase of a put option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying
reference instrument must decline sufficiently below the exercise price to cover the premium and transaction costs.
By virtue of the Funds’ investments in option contracts equity ETFs and equity indices, the Funds are exposed to common stocks
indirectly which subjects the Funds to equity market risk. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types
of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive
payment from specific issuers. Equity securities may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline
in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries,
or sectors in which the Funds invest.
The Funds have adopted financial reporting rules and regulations that require enhanced disclosure regarding derivatives and
hedging activity intending to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how an
entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations
and financial position.

The Funds are not subject to master netting agreements; therefore, no additional disclosures regarding netting arrangements
are required.
C. Federal Income Taxes. Each of the Funds has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intends to distribute
substantially all taxable income to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, the Funds intend to declare as
dividends in each calendar year at least 98.0% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and at least 98.2%
of its net realized capital gains (earned during the period ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years.
Tax expense is disclosed in the Statement of Operations, if applicable.
As of October 31, 2023, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the threshold of being sustained by the
applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns filed for the last three years. The Funds identify
its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Delaware; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax
positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially. The Funds
recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in
the Statement of Operations.

D. Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains
and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Discounts and premiums on debt
securities purchased are accreted and amortized over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Debt income is recorded on an accrual basis. Other non-cash dividends are
recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received.
E. Distributions to Shareholders. The Funds intend to pay out dividends and interest income, if any, monthly, and distribute any
net realized capital gains to its shareholders at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. If a Fund’s
distributions exceed its earnings and profits, all or a portion of the distributions made for a taxable year may be re-characterized
as a return of capital to shareholders.
F. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G. Share Valuation. The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by each
Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities by the total number of shares outstanding for the Funds, rounded to the
nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed
for trading.
H. Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that
contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would
involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds
expect the risk of loss to be remote.
I. Illiquid Securities. Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Board-approved Liquidity Risk
Management Program (the “Program”) that requires, among other things, that the Funds limit their illiquid investments that are
assets to no more than 15% of the value of the Funds’ net assets. An illiquid investment is any security that the Funds reasonably
expect cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition
significantly changing the market value of the investment. If the Funds should be in a position where the value of illiquid
investments held by each Fund exceeds 15% of each Fund’s net assets, the Funds will take such steps as set forth in the Program.
J. Derivatives Transactions. Pursuant to Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, the SEC imposes limits on the amount of derivatives a fund
can enter into, eliminates the asset segregation and cover framework arising from prior SEC guidance for covering derivatives
and certain financial instruments currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act and treats derivatives as
senior securities. Under Rule 18f-4, a fund’s derivatives exposure is limited through a value-at-risk test. Funds whose use of
derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure amount are required to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives
risk management program, subject to oversight by a fund’s board of trustees, and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Funds
implemented a Rule 18f-4 Derivative Risk Management Program that complies with Rule 18f-4.
• In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-03, which amends Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820):
Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03
clarifies guidance for fair value measurement of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction and establishes
new disclosure requirements for such equity securities. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2023 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating
the impact of these amendments on the financial statements.
L. Reclassification of Capital Accounts. U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences
be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. For the
periods ended October 31, 2023, there were no reclassifications for any of the Funds.

M. Other Regulatory Matters. In October 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted a final rule relating
to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds; Fee information in Investment Company Advertisements.
The rule and form amendments will, among other things, require the funds to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports
that highlight key information. The amendments will require that funds tag information in a structured data format and that certain more
in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments became
effective January 24, 2023.There is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment.

though it does not. The value of ARKK will fluctuate over time based on fluctuations in the values of the securities held by ARKK, which
may be affected by changes in general economic conditions, expectations for future growth and profits, interest rates and the supply and
demand for those securities. Brokerage, tax and other expenses may negatively impact the performance of ARKK and, in turn, the value
of the OARK ETF’s shares. Since ARKK is an ETF, it is also subject to the same structural risks as the OARK ETF, which is an ETF.

The difference between book and tax-basis unrealized appreciation was attributable primarily to the treatment of wash sales and a change in each Fund’s neutral
options strategy.
Net investment losses incurred after December 31 (late-year losses), and within the taxable year, may be elected to be deferred to the
first business day of each Fund’s next taxable year. As of the most recent fiscal period ended October 31, 2023, the Funds have not elected
to defer late year losses. As of the most recent fiscal period ended October 31, 2023, the following Funds had long-term and short-term
capital loss carryovers, which do not expire:
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The
Funds issue and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV generally in large blocks of shares, called “Creation Units.” Creation Units
are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, shares generally trade in the
secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable
securities of the Funds. Creation Units may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either
(i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities
Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with
the Distributor. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units.
Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in
the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.
125
YieldMax ETFs
The Funds currently offer one class of shares, which has no front-end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee.
A fixed transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or sale of Creation Units. The
standard fixed transaction fee for the Fund is $300, payable to the Custodian. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain orders
if the Funds’ Custodian has determined to waive some or all of the costs associated with the order or another party, such as the Adviser,
has agreed to pay such fee. In addition, a variable fee may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units of up to a
maximum of 2% and for Redemption Units of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation Units and Redemption Units subject
to the transaction. Variable fees are imposed to compensate the Fund for transaction costs associated with the cash transactions. Variable
fees received by the Funds, if any, are disclosed in the capital shares transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The Funds may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All shares of the Funds have equal rights
and privileges.
U.S. and international markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant periods of volatility in recent years and
months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including rising inflation, uncertainty regarding central banks’
interest rate increases, the possibility of a national or global recession, trade tensions, political events, the war between Russia and Ukraine,
significant conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Middle East, and the impact of COVID-19. The global recovery from COVID-19 may
last for an extended period of time. As a result of continuing political tensions and armed conflicts, including the war between Ukraine
and Russia, the U.S. and the European Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain financial
institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may
continue to do so. The Middle East conflict has led to significant loss of life, damaged infrastructure and escalated tensions both in the
region and globally. These developments, as well as other events, could result in further market volatility and negatively affect financial
asset prices, the liquidity of certain securities and the normal operations of securities exchanges and other markets, despite government
efforts to address market disruptions. As a result, the risk environment remains elevated. The Adviser and Sub-Adviser will monitor
developments and seek to manage the Funds in a manner consistent with achieving the Funds’ investment objective, but there can be no
assurance that they will be successful in doing so.
In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure
through the date the financial statements were issued. The Funds have determined that there are no subsequent events that would need to
be recorded or disclosed in the Funds’ financial statements.

YieldMax ETFs
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments and options written, of
YieldMax ETFs comprising the funds listed below (the “Funds”), each a series of Tidal Trust II, as of October 31, 2023, the related
statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets, the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods
indicated below (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2023, the results of their operations, the changes in net
assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated below, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
127
YieldMax ETFs
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023,
by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more of Tidal Investment LLC’s investment companies since 2020.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES For the Period Ended October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases
and sales of Funds’ shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees of the Funds. The examples are intended to help you
understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other
funds. The actual examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period
indicated, which is from May 1, 2023 to October 31, 2023 for the OARK ETF, TSLY ETF, APLY ETF, and the from the commencement
of operations for the rest of the Funds (see below) to October 31, 2023. The hypothetical example is based on an investment of $1,000
invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from May 1, 2023 to October 31, 2023.

Actual Expenses
The first line of the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. The examples include, but
are not limited to, unitary fees. However, the examples do not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses. You may use
the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide
your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then, multiply the result by the number
in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period’’ to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during
this period.
The second line of the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on
the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The
hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the
period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5%
hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the
expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage
commissions paid on purchases and sales of the Funds’ shares. Therefore, the second line of the following tables is useful in comparing
ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs were
included, your costs would have been higher.

In accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Rule 22e-4”), Tidal Trust II (the “Trust”),
on behalf of its following series (the “Funds”):
The Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”). The Program seeks to promote
effective liquidity risk management for the Fund and to protect the Funds shareholders from dilution of their interests. The Trust’s Board
of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved the designation of Tidal Investments LLC, each Fund’s investment adviser, as the program
administrator (the “Program Administrator”). The Program Administrator has further delegated administration of the Program to a member
of its compliance team. The Program Administrator has also delegated certain responsibilities under the Program to the investment
sub-adviser of the Funds; however, the Program Administrator remains responsible for the overall administration and operation of the
Program. The Program Administrator is required to provide a written annual report to the Board regarding the adequacy and effectiveness
of the Program, including the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum, if applicable, and any material changes to the Program.
On August 15, 2023, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator’s written annual report for the period July 1, 2022 through June
30, 2023 (the “Report”). The Program assesses liquidity risk under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions.
The risk is managed by monitoring the degree of liquidity of a fund’s investments, limiting the amount of illiquid investments and utilizing
various risk management tools and facilities available to a fund, among other means. The Trust has engaged the services of ICE Data
Services, Inc., a third-party vendor, to provide daily portfolio investment classification services to assist in the Program Administrator’s
assessment. The Report noted that no highly liquid investment minimum is required for the Funds because the Funds qualify as primarily
highly liquid funds (as defined under Rule 22e-4). The Report noted that there were no breaches of the restrictions on acquiring or holding
greater than 15% illiquid investments of the Fund during the review period. The Report confirmed that each Fund’s investment strategies
remained appropriate for an open-end fund and that the Funds were able to meet requests for redemptions without significant dilution of
remaining investors’ interests in the Funds. The Report noted that no material changes had been made to the Program during the review
period. The Program Administrator determined that the Program complies with the requirements of Rule 22e-4 and is reasonably designed
and operating effectively.
All of the Funds, with the exception of the YieldMax Innovation Option Income Strategy ETF, YieldMax TSLA Option Income
Strategy ETF, YieldMax AAPL Option Income Strategy ETF, and YieldMax NVDA Option Income Strategy ETF, commenced operations
after June 30, 2023 and were not a part of the Report but have adopted the Program upon commencement of operations.

BASIS FOR TRUSTEES’ APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited)
Pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), at a meeting held on July 17, 2023, the Board of
Trustees (the “Board”) of Tidal Trust II (the “Trust”) considered the approval of:
• the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Tidal investments LLC (f/k/a Toroso Investments,
LLC) or (the “Adviser”) and the Trust, on behalf of:
(the “YieldMax ETFs”, each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”); and
• an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (a “Sub-Advisory Agreement) between the Adviser and ZEGA Financial, LLC
(“ZEGA” or the “Sub-Adviser”) with respect to the YieldMax ETFs (the Sub-Advisory Agreements together with the Advisory
Agreements, referred to as the “Agreements”).
Pursuant to Section 15 of the 1940 Act, the Agreements must be approved by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties
to the Agreements or “interested persons” of any party thereto, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at
a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In preparation for such meeting, the Board requested and reviewed a wide
variety of information from the Adviser and Sub-Advisers.
In reaching its decision, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered all factors it believed relevant, including: (i) the
nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to each Fund’s shareholders by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser (with respect to the
YieldMax ETFs); (ii) the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser (with respect
to the YieldMax ETFs) from services to be provided to the Funds, including any fall-out benefits; (iv) comparative fee and expense data
for each Fund in relation to other investment companies with similar investment objectives; (v) the extent to which economies of scale
would be realized as each Fund grows and whether the advisory fees for the Fund reflects these economies of scale for the benefit of the
Fund; and (vi) other financial benefits to the Adviser or Sub-Adviser (with respect to the YieldMax ETFs) and their affiliates resulting
from services rendered to the Funds. The Board’s review included written and oral information furnished to the Board prior to and at
the meeting held on July 17, 2023. Among other things, each of the Adviser and Sub-Advisers provided responses to a detailed series
of questions, which included information about the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s operations, service offerings, personnel, compliance
program and financial condition. The Board then discussed the written and oral information that it received before the meeting, and the
Adviser’s oral presentations and any other information that the Board received at the meeting, and deliberated on the renewal of the
Agreements in light of this information.
The Independent Trustees were assisted throughout the contract review process by independent legal counsel. The Independent
Trustees relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in
evaluating the renewal of the Agreements, and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to the
Agreements were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each Trustee
may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each Fund. The Independent Trustees
conferred amongst themselves and independent legal counsel in executive sessions both with and without representatives of management.

BASIS FOR TRUSTEES’ APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided. The Trustees considered the scope of services to be provided under the
Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements. In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by
the Adviser and Sub-Adviser (with respect to the YieldMax ETFs), the Board reviewed the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s compliance
infrastructure and its financial strength and resources. The Board also considered the experience of the personnel of the Adviser and
Sub-Adviser working with ETFs. The Board also considered other services to be provided to the Funds by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser,
such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio transactions, monitoring adherence to each Fund’s investment restrictions, and
monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities regulations. Based on the factors above,
as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided
to each Fund by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser (with respect to the YieldMax ETFs) based on their experience, personnel, operations
and resources.
Historical Performance. The Board noted that the Funds had not yet commenced operations and that therefore there was no prior
performance to review.
Cost of Services Provided, Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed advisory fees for each Fund
and compared them to the management fees and total operating expenses of its Peer Group. The Board noted that the comparisons to the
total expense ratios were the most relevant comparisons, given the fact that the advisory fee for each Fund is a “unified fee.”
The Board noted the importance of the fact that the proposed advisory fee for each Fund is a “unified fee,” meaning that the
shareholders of the Fund pay no expenses except for interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses on securities
sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other
investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, distribution fees and expenses paid by the Fund
under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, as amended (the “1940 Act”),
litigation expenses, non-routine or extraordinary expenses, and the unitary management fee payable to the Adviser. The Board also noted
that the Adviser was responsible for compensating the Trust’s other service providers and paying the Fund’s other expenses (except as
noted above) out of its own fees and resources. The Board further noted that because the Funds are new, it was difficult to estimate the
profitability of each Fund to the Adviser. The Board, however, considered collateral or “fall-out” benefits that the Adviser and its affiliates
may derive as a result of their relationship with the Funds.
The Board noted that because the Funds are new, it also was difficult to estimate whether the Fund would experience economies of
scale. The Board noted that the Adviser will review expenses as each Fund’s assets grow. The Board determined to evaluate economies
of scale on an ongoing basis if the Funds achieved asset growth.
The Board also reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee paid to the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the YieldMax ETFs) for its services
under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered this fee in light of the services the Sub-Adviser provides as investment sub-
adviser to the Funds. The Board determined that the proposed fee reflected an appropriate allocation of the advisory fee paid to the Adviser
and Sub-Adviser given the work performed by each firm. The Board also considered that Validus NA, Inc. was acting as sponsor for
the Validus ETF and had agreed to assume the payment of any fund expenses above the level of the unitary fee. The Board considered
that pursuant to these arrangements, if fund expenses, including a payment to the Adviser of a certain amount, fall below the level of the
unitary fee, the Adviser would pay any remaining portion of the unitary fee to the sponsor out of its profits. The Board concluded that the
proposed sub-advisory fee for each Fund was reasonable in light of the services rendered.
The Board also considered that the sub-advisory fee paid to the Sub-Adviser (with respect to the YieldMax ETFs) is paid out of the
Adviser’s unified fee and represents an arm’s-length negotiation between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. For these reasons, the Trustees
determined that the profitability to the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the Fund was not a material factor in their deliberations with
respect to consideration of approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that, because the sub-advisory fee was paid by
the Adviser out of its unified fee, any economies of scale would not benefit shareholders and, thus, were not relevant for the consideration
of the approval of the sub-advisory fee.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative to the decision of the Board. Based on the Board’s deliberations and its evaluation
of the information described above and such other matters as were deemed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees,
unanimously: (a) concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable; (b)
concluded that each of the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s fees are reasonable in light of the services that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser will
provide to each Fund; and (c) agreed to approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial term of two years.
