ALPS Advisors, Inc. to Close an Exchange Traded Fund

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ALPS Advisors, Inc., acquired by SS&C, providing products and services
to the financial services industry, today announced The Fund – BUZZ
US Sentiment Leaders ETF (NYSE ARCA: BUZ) — will close to new
investors on February 28, 2019 and liquidate on March 4, 2019.

The decision to close the Fund was made by the ALPS ETF Trust’s Board of
Trustees after consultation with ALPS Advisors, Inc., the investment
adviser to the Fund. On consideration of the Fund’s inability to attract
significant market interest since the Fund’s inception, its future
viability as well as prospects for growth of the Fund’s assets in the
foreseeable future, the Board determined that it was in the best
interests of the Fund and its shareholders to liquidate the Fund’s
shares, which are listed on the NYSE ARCA. The last day of trading for
the Fund is scheduled to be Friday March 1, 2019.

The Fund will immediately begin the process of closing down and
liquidating its portfolio, which will increase the Fund’s cash holdings
notwithstanding the Fund’s investment objective and strategies. From February
5, 2019 to March 1, 2019, shareholders may be able to sell their
shares to certain broker-dealers, but there can be no assurance that
there will be a market for the Fund’s shares.

Any person holding shares in the Fund as of the liquidation date will
receive a cash distribution equal to the net asset value of their
shares. Shareholders receiving this cash distribution will not incur
transaction fees in connection with this distribution or the liquidation
of their shares in the Fund. A portion of the distribution may represent
an ordinary income dividend or a capital gain distribution.

For additional information about the liquidation, shareholders of the
Fund may call ALPS at 866.759.5679 or visit www.alpsfunds.com.

Important Disclosures

An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks,
charges and expenses carefully before investing. To obtain a prospectus,

before investing.

BUZZ US Sentiment Leaders ETF shares are not individually
redeemable. Investors buy and sell shares of the BUZZ US Sentiment
Leaders ETF on a secondary market. Only market makers or “authorized
participants” may trade directly with the Fund, typically in blocks of
50,000 shares.

The ability to invest based on artificial intelligence analytics is
relatively new and untested. The Fund may invest a significant portion
of its assets in securities issued by companies in the information
technology sector in order to track the Underlying index’s allocation to
that sector.

These types of funds typically have a high portfolio turnover that could
increase transaction costs and cause short-term capital gains to be
realized.

The Fund is not suitable for all investors. There are risks involved
with investing in ETFs including the loss of money. The Fund is
considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in
securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result,
changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater
fluctuations in share price than would occur in a diversified fund.
Funds that emphasize investment in small/mid cap companies will
generally experience grater price volatility. Diversification does not
eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. ETFs are
considered to have continuous liquidity because they allow for an
individual to trade throughout the day.

Investing in companies based on artificial intelligence analytics
involves the potential for market manipulation because online posts may
be made with an intent to inflate, or otherwise manipulate, the public
perception of a stock or other investment.
