Unlike traditional dividend strategies that rely primarily on historical dividend payments, DRVR incorporates forecasted dividend data and quality metrics in an effort to target companies positioned to drive future income growth. DRVR seeks to provide investment results (before fees and expenses) that generally correlate to the total return performance of the S&amp;P 500 Dividend Drivers Index (the “Index”). The Index selects companies within the S&amp;P 500 that have increased total dividends per share every calendar year for at least 10 consecutive years and are forecasted to continue increasing dividends over the following year, based on data from S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence. Eligible companies are ranked using a composite score that incorporates five-year dividend growth, forecasted dividend yield, and return on invested capital (ROIC). The top 50 companies are selected and weighted by forecasted dividend yield, subject to a 4.5% cap on individual holdings and a 30% sector cap. Companies with long records of dividend growth often demonstrate strong earnings power, disciplined capital allocation, and durable business models. By combining a history of dividend increases with forward-looking dividend expectations and diversification controls, DRVR is designed to serve as a core equity income allocation that can perform across a variety of market environments. “We believe dividend investing should be as much about where payouts are headed as where they've been,” said Christian Magoon, CEO of Amplify ETFs. “DRVR’s strategy takes this holistic perspective, offering investors the opportunity to invest in companies with the financial strength to continue delivering attractive income as markets evolve.” “We’re delighted to collaborate with Amplify ETFs on the launch of DRVR by licensing the S&amp;P 500 Dividend Drivers Index - bringing a transparent, rules-based approach to dividend growth and financial quality at a time when investor demand for durable income strategies is rising. We look forward to continuing our work with Amplify as they bring innovative investment solutions to market,” said Robert Ross, Chief Commercial Officer at S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices. <table style="border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; border-collapse: collapse; width:100%; border-collapse:collapse ;"><tr><td style="border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: middle ; ">Feature</td><td style="border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: middle ; ">Amplify S&amp;P 500 Dividend Drivers ETF (DRVR)</td></tr><tr><td style="border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: middle ; ">Index</td><td style="border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: middle ; ">S&amp;P 500 Dividend Drivers Index</td></tr><tr><td style="border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: middle ; ">Strategy</td><td style="border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: middle ; ">Rules-based index tracking dividend growth companies within the S&amp;P 500</td></tr><tr><td style="border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: middle ; ">Portfolio size</td><td style="border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: middle ; ">50 companies</td></tr><tr><td style="border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: middle ; ">Weighting </td><td style="border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: middle ; ">Forecasted dividend yield, subject to 4.5% single-stock and 30% sector caps</td></tr><tr><td style="border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: middle ; ">Distribution Frequency</td><td style="border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: middle ; ">Monthly</td></tr><tr><td style="border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: middle ; ">Expense Ratio</td><td style="border-top: solid black 1pt ; border-right: solid black 1pt ; border-bottom: solid black 1pt ; border-left: solid black 1pt ; vertical-align: middle ; ">0.39%*</td></tr></table> Learn more: <ul type="disc"><li><a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=nTJNwRPl3Sz5p67OfI-s6cXJ40DrnQgmEWLttWWq2naCzi5LxAN6WqAV0-mQHGCkAy0tOUAAR-Y4qtSAHcjQ7g1YfMTtR2bL4puuUxzlI0ivFLenMKN0wm_NKZ41_Ma6rty6ON1kFTX64PfsOAYwYsoAIp0p7HdwQhf9LR8mpnFsFC1ZnPCEyazVMWk5jCgExTQ87SuC_lu4kZrf1Ah8-g==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">Amplify S&amp;P 500 Dividend Drivers ETF (DRVR)</a> </li></ul> About Amplify ETFs Amplify ETFs, sponsored by Amplify Investments, has more than $20 billion in assets under management (as of 6/30/2026).
