DATED MAY 1, 2020
The Board of Trustees of First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund (the
“Trust”) has approved a transaction to combine the First Trust Mega Cap AlphaDEX® Fund (“FMK”),
an exchange-traded index fund that seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before fees and expenses)
of an equity index called the Nasdaq AlphaDEX® Mega Cap Index with the Fund. Pursuant to this transaction, FMK shareholders
will become shareholders of the Fund.
In order for the transaction to occur, the shareholders of
the Fund and shareholders of FMK must approve the transaction. If approved, shares of FMK would be exchanged, on a tax-free basis
for federal income tax purposes, for shares of the Fund with an equal aggregate net asset value, and FMK shareholders will become
shareholders of the Fund.
A special meeting of shareholders of the Fund for the purpose
of voting on the transaction will be held. If the required approval is obtained, it is anticipated that the transaction will be
consummated shortly after the special shareholder meeting.
The Fund will continue sales and redemptions of shares as described
in the Fund’s prospectus. Holders of shares of the Fund purchased after the record date set for the special meeting of shareholders
will not be entitled to vote those shares at the special meeting.
