Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Note 1Organization
John Hancock Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the Trust) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). It is a series company with multiple investment series, five of which are presented in this report (the funds). 
The investment objective of each fund is to seek to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of their respective Index as listed below:
Fund Index
Multifactor Developed International ETF John Hancock Dimensional Developed International Index
Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF John Hancock Dimensional Emerging Markets Index
Multifactor Large Cap ETF John Hancock Dimensional Large Cap Index
Multifactor Mid Cap ETF John Hancock Dimensional Mid Cap Index
Multifactor Small Cap ETF John Hancock Dimensional Small Cap Index
Note 2Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant. The funds qualify as investment companies under Topic 946 of Accounting Standards Codification of US GAAP.
Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time. In case of emergency or other disruption resulting in the NYSE not opening for trading or the NYSE closing at a time other than the regularly scheduled close, the net asset value (NAV) may be determined as of the regularly scheduled close of the NYSE pursuant to the Valuation Policies and Procedures of the Advisor, John Hancock Investment Management LLC, the funds’ valuation designee.
In order to value the securities, the funds use the following valuation techniques: Equity securities, including exchange-traded and closed-end funds, are typically valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or principal market where the security trades. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Investments by the funds in open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Trust (JHCT), are valued at their respective NAVs each business day. Futures contracts whose settlement prices are determined as of the close of the NYSE are typically valued based on the settlement price while other futures contracts are typically valued at the last traded price on the exchange on which they trade. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor valued at London close.
In certain instances, the Pricing Committee of the Advisor may determine to value equity securities using prices obtained from another exchange or market if trading on the exchange or market on which prices are typically obtained did not open for trading as scheduled, or if trading closed earlier than scheduled, and trading occurred as normal on another exchange or market.
Other portfolio securities and assets, for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. Trading in foreign securities may be completed before the scheduled daily close of trading on the NYSE. Significant events at the issuer or market level may affect the values of securities between the time when the valuation of the securities is generally determined and the close of the NYSE. If a significant event occurs, these securities may be fair valued, as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee, following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted by the Board of Trustees. The Advisor may use fair value adjustment factors provided by an independent pricing vendor to value certain foreign securities in order to adjust for events that may occur between the close of foreign exchanges or markets and the close of the NYSE.
The funds use a three tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, including registered investment companies. Level 2 includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the Advisor’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques and related inputs may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the values by input classification of the funds’ investments as of October 31, 2025, by major security category or type:

Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily NAV calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is recorded on ex-date, except for dividends of certain foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. In those cases, dividend income, net of withholding taxes, is recorded when the fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.
Real estate investment trusts. The funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs). Distributions from REITs may be recorded as income and subsequently characterized by the REIT at the end of their fiscal year as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. As a result, the funds will estimate the components of distributions from these securities. Such estimates are revised when the actual components of the distributions are known.
Securities lending. The funds may lend their securities to earn additional income. The funds receive collateral from the borrower in an amount not less than the market value of the loaned securities. The funds may invest their cash collateral in JHCT, an affiliate of the funds, which has a floating NAV and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment company. JHCT is a government money market fund and invests in U.S. Government securities and/or repurchase agreements. Each fund will receive the benefit of any gains and bear any losses generated by JHCT with respect to the cash collateral.
The funds have the right to recall loaned securities on demand. If a borrower fails to return loaned securities when due, then the lending agent is responsible and indemnifies the funds for the lent securities. The lending agent uses the collateral received from the borrower to purchase replacement securities of the same issue, type, class and series of the loaned securities. If the value of the collateral is less than the purchase cost of replacement securities, the lending agent is responsible for satisfying the shortfall but only to the extent that the shortfall is not due to any decrease in the value of JHCT.
Although the risk of loss on securities lent is mitigated by receiving collateral from the borrower and through lending agent indemnification, the funds could experience a delay in recovering securities or could experience a lower than expected return if the borrower fails to return the securities on a timely basis. During the existence of the loan, the funds will receive from the borrower amounts equivalent to any dividends, interest or other distributions on the loaned securities, as well as interest on such amounts. The funds receive compensation for lending their securities by retaining a portion of the return on the investment of the collateral and compensation from fees earned from borrowers of the securities. Securities lending income received by the funds is net of fees retained by the securities lending agent. Net income received from JHCT is a component of securities lending income as recorded on the Statements of operations.
Obligations to repay collateral received by the funds are shown on the Statements of assets and liabilities as Payable upon return of securities loaned and are secured by the loaned securities. The following table summarizes the values of securities loaned by the funds and the corresponding cash collateral received at October 31, 2025.
In addition, non-cash collateral in the form of U.S. Treasuries was pledged, as indicated below. This non-cash collateral cannot be sold or repledged by the funds, and accordingly, is not reflected in the funds’ net assets.

Foreign investing. Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the value of securities is reflected as a component of the realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Foreign investments are subject to a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.

Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. These risks are heightened for investments in emerging markets. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors.
There may be unexpected restrictions on investments or on exposures to investments in companies located in certain foreign countries, such as China. For example, a government may restrict investment in companies or industries considered important to national interests, or intervene in the financial markets, such as by imposing trading restrictions, or banning or curtailing short selling. As a result of forced sales of a security, or inability to participate in an investment the manager otherwise believes is attractive, a fund may incur losses.
Trading in certain Chinese securities through Hong Kong Stock Connect or Bond Connect, mutual market access programs that enable foreign investment in the People’s Republic of China, is subject to certain restrictions and risks. Securities offered through these programs may lose purchase eligibility and any changes in laws, regulations and policies impacting these programs may affect security prices, which could adversely affect the funds’ performance.
Foreign taxes. The funds may be subject to withholding tax on income, capital gains or repatriations imposed by certain countries, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes are accrued based upon the funds’ understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Taxes are accrued based on gains realized by the funds as a result of certain foreign security sales. In certain circumstances, estimated taxes are accrued based on unrealized appreciation of such securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign withholding taxes.
Overdraft. The funds may have the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the funds’ custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the funds to make properly authorized payments. The funds are obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Line of credit. The funds and other affiliated funds have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. as the administrative agent that enables them to participate in a $1 billion unsecured committed line of credit, which is in effect through July 13, 2026 unless extended or renewed. Excluding commitments designated for certain funds and subject to the needs of all other affiliated funds, a fund can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $750 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement.
A commitment fee payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of each line of credit, is charged to each participating fund based on an asset-based allocation and is reflected in Other expenses on the Statements of operations. For the six months ended October 31, 2025, the funds had no borrowings under the line of credit.
Commitment fees for the six months ended October 31, 2025 were as follows:
Fund Commitment fee
Multifactor Developed International ETF   $1,798
Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF   1,562
Multifactor Large Cap ETF   2,489
Multifactor Mid Cap ETF   10,519
Multifactor Small Cap ETF   1,368
Expenses. Within the John Hancock group of funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and each fund’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Federal income taxes. Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
For federal income tax purposes, as of April 30, 2025, certain funds have short-term and long-term capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains. These carryforwards do not expire. The following table details the capital loss carryforwards available as of April 30, 2025:
  No Expiration Date
Fund Short Term Long Term
Multifactor Developed International ETF   $27,133,868   $62,936,688
Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF   27,814,283   64,733,157

Multifactor Mid Cap ETF   141,249,010   127,699,666
Multifactor Small Cap ETF   102,756,418   39,511,323
Due to certain Internal Revenue Code rules, utilization of the capital loss carryforwards may be limited in future years.
As of April 30, 2025, the funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The funds’ federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The funds generally declare and pay dividends at least semiannually from net investment income, if any. Capital gain distributions, if any, are typically distributed annually.
Such distributions, on a tax basis, if any, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in the funds’ financial statements as a return of capital. The final determination of tax characteristics of the funds’ distribution will occur at the end of the year and will subsequently be reported to shareholders.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences at fiscal year end. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to investments in passive foreign investment companies, wash sale loss deferrals and redemptions in-kind.
Note 3Derivative instruments
The funds may invest in derivatives in order to meet their investment objective. Derivatives include a variety of different instruments that may be traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, on a regulated exchange or through a clearing facility. The risks in using derivatives vary depending upon the structure of the instruments, including the use of leverage, optionality, the liquidity or lack of liquidity of the contract, the creditworthiness of the counterparty or clearing organization and the volatility of the position. Some derivatives involve risks that are potentially greater than the risks associated with investing directly in the referenced securities or other referenced underlying instrument. Specifically, the funds are exposed to the risk that the counterparty to an OTC derivatives contract will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. OTC derivatives transactions typically can only be closed out with the other party to the transaction.
Certain derivatives are traded or cleared on an exchange or central clearinghouse. Exchange-traded or centrally-cleared transactions generally present less counterparty risk to a fund than OTC transactions. The exchange or clearinghouse stands between the funds and the broker to the contract and therefore, credit risk is generally limited to the failure of the exchange or clearinghouse and the clearing member.
Futures. A futures contract is a contractual agreement to buy or sell a particular currency or financial instrument at a pre-determined price in the future. Futures are traded on an exchange and cleared through a central clearinghouse. Risks related to the use of futures contracts include possible illiquidity of the futures markets and contract prices that can be highly volatile and imperfectly correlated to movements in the underlying financial instrument and potential losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of assets and liabilities. Use of long futures contracts subjects the funds to the risk of loss up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the funds to unlimited risk of loss.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the funds are required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities. The amount of required margin is set by the broker and is generally based on a percentage of the contract value. The margin deposit must then be maintained at the established level over the life of the contract. Cash that has been pledged by the funds, if any, is detailed in the Statements of assets and liabilities as Collateral held at broker for futures contracts. Securities pledged by the funds, if any, are identified in the Funds’ investments. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the funds periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and unrealized gain or loss is recorded by the funds. Receivable/Payable for futures variation margin is included in the Statements of assets and liabilities. When the contract is closed, the funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
The following table details how the funds used futures contracts during the six months ended October 31, 2025. In addition, the table summarizes the range of notional contract amounts held by the funds, as measured at each quarter end:

Note 4Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, including the funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 5Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) serves as investment advisor for the funds. The Advisor is an indirect, principally owned subsidiary of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.), which in turn is a subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC).
Management fee.The funds have an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which each fund pays a monthly management fee to the Advisor equivalent on an annual basis as detailed below. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with Dimensional Fund Advisors LP. The funds are not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
The management fee structure is as follows:
Fund Average daily net assets
Multifactor Developed International ETF 0.35%
Fund Average daily net assets
Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF 0.44%

Table of Contents
Fund Average daily net assets
Multifactor Large Cap ETF 0.26%
Multifactor Mid Cap ETF 0.37%
Fund Average daily net assets
Multifactor Small Cap ETF 0.39%
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock group of funds complex, including the funds (the participating portfolios). This waiver is based upon aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated daily and allocated among all the participating portfolios in proportion to the daily net assets of the funds. During the six months ended October 31, 2025, this waiver amounted to 0.01% of the funds’ average daily net assets, on an annualized basis. This agreement expires on July 31, 2027, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the funds and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its management fee or, if necessary, make a payment to each fund, in an amount equal to the amount by which expenses of each fund exceed the following:
Fund Expense

Expenses means all the expenses of the funds, excluding taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the funds’ business, borrowing costs, prime brokerage fees, acquired fund fees and expenses paid indirectly, and short dividend expense. The funds’ expense limitation agreement expires on August 31, 2026, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the funds and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.
The expense reductions described above amount to the following for the six months ended October 31, 2025.
Fund Expense reimbursement
Multifactor Developed International ETF   $127,367
Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF   270,782

Expenses waived or reimbursed in the current fiscal period are not subject to recapture in future fiscal periods.
The investment management fees, including the impact of the waivers and reimbursements as described above, incurred for the six months ended October 31, 2025, were equivalent to a net annual effective rate of the funds’ average daily net assets:
Fund Net Annual Effective Rate
Multifactor Developed International ETF 0.32%
Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF 0.35%
Multifactor Large Cap ETF 0.23%
Fund Net Annual Effective Rate

These accounting and legal services fees incurred, for the six months ended October 31, 2025, amounted to an annual rate of 0.02% of the funds’ average daily net assets.
Trustee expenses. The funds compensate each Trustee who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates. The costs of paying Trustee compensation and expenses are allocated to each fund based on their net assets relative to other funds within the John Hancock group of funds complex.
Note 6Capital share transactions
Each fund will issue and redeem shares only in a large number of specified shares, each called a “creation unit,” or multiples thereof. Multifactor Large Cap ETF, Multifactor Mid Cap ETF, and Multifactor Small Cap ETF issue and redeem shares at NAV in creation units of 25,000 shares. Multifactor Developed International ETF and Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF issue and redeem shares at NAV in creation units of 100,000 shares.
Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the funds. Such transactions generally take place when an authorized participant deposits into a fund a designated portfolio of securities (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted) and a specified amount of cash approximating the holdings of the fund in exchange for a specified number of creation units. Similarly, shares can be redeemed only in creation units, generally
   | JOHN HANCOCK MULTIFACTOR ETFS 60

Table of Contents
for a designated portfolio of securities (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted) held by a fund and a specified amount of cash. For purposes of US GAAP, in-kind redemption transactions are treated as a sale of securities and any resulting gains and losses are recognized based on the market value of the securities on the date of the transfer. Authorized participants pay a transaction fee to the custodian when purchasing and redeeming creation units of the funds. The transaction fee is used to defray the costs associated with the issuance and redemption of creation units. Individual shares of the funds may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Secondary market transactions may be subject to brokerage commissions. Shares of the funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc., trade at market prices rather than NAV, and may trade at a price greater than or less than NAV.
Authorized participants transacting in creation or redemption of units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for the costs associated with purchasing or selling the applicable securities. Fixed transaction fees payable to the custodian may also be incurred on creation and redemption transactions. For the six months ended October 31, 2025, such variable and/or fixed transaction fees were approximately $(20,124), $77,835, $(2,600), $(2,600) and $(2,600) for Multifactor Developed International ETF, Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF, Mulitfactor Large Cap ETF, Multifactor Mid Cap ETF and Multifactor Small Cap ETF, respectively. These charges are included in shares issued or repurchased on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Note 7Purchase and sale of securities
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term investments, are aggregated below for the six months ended October 31, 2025. In addition, purchases and sales of in-kind transactions are aggregated below for the six months ended October 31, 2025:

Note 8Industry or sector risk
The funds may invest a large percentage of their assets in one or more particular industries or sectors of the economy. If a large percentage of a fund’s assets are economically tied to a single or small number of industries or sectors of the economy, the fund will be less diversified than a more broadly diversified fund, and it may cause the fund to underperform if that industry or sector underperforms. In addition, focusing on a particular industry or sector may make the fund’s NAV more volatile. Further, a fund that invests in particular industries or sectors is particularly susceptible to the impact of market, economic, regulatory and other factors affecting those industries or sectors.
Note 9Emerging-market risk
Foreign investing especially in emerging markets, has additional risks, such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability. Funds that invest a significant portion of assets in the securities of issuers based in countries with emerging market economies are subject to greater levels of foreign investment risk than funds investing primarily in more-developed foreign markets, since emerging-market securities may present other risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in developed foreign countries.
Note 10Investment by affiliated funds
Certain investors in the funds are affiliated funds that are managed by the Advisor and its affiliates. The affiliated funds do not invest in the funds for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, this investment may represent a significant portion of the funds’ net assets. At October 31, 2025, funds within the John Hancock group of funds complex had the following affiliate ownership as a percentage of the funds’ net assets (funds with an affiliate ownership of 5% or more are disclosed separately):

Note 12Segment reporting
The management committee of the Advisor acts as the funds’ chief operating decision maker (the CODM), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. Each fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors and assesses the operating results of the fund as a whole, and the fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is managed in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the portfolio management team of the fund’s subadvisor. Segment assets are reflected in the Statements of assets and liabilities as “Total assets”, which consists primarily of total investments at value. The financial information, including the measurement of profit and loss and significant expenses, provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented within the Statements of operations, which includes “Increase (decrease) in net assets from operations”, Statements of changes in net assets, which includes “Increase (decrease) in net assets from fund share transactions”, and Financial highlights, which includes total return and income and expense ratios.

EVALUATION OF ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

This section describes the evaluation by the Board of Trustees (the Board) of John Hancock Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the Trust) of the Advisory Agreement (the Advisory Agreement) with John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) and the Subadvisory Agreement (the Subadvisory Agreement) with Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (the Subadvisor) with respect to each of the portfolios of the Trust included in this report (the Funds). The Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the Agreements. Prior to the June 23-26, 2025 meeting at which the Agreements were approved, the Board also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Agreements at a meeting held on May 27-May 29, 2025. The Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”) also met separately to evaluate and discuss the information presented, including with counsel to the Independent Trustees and a third-party consulting firm.
Approval of Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements
At a meeting held on June 23-26, 2025, the Board, including the Trustees who are not parties to any Agreement or considered to be interested persons of the Trust under the 1940 Act, reapproved for an annual period the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisor and the Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to each of the Funds identified in Appendix A.
In considering the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Board received in advance of the meetings a variety of materials relating to each Fund, the Advisor and the Subadvisor, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for peer groups of similar funds prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data; performance information for the Funds’ benchmark indices; and, with respect to the Subadvisor, comparative performance information for comparably managed accounts, as applicable; and other information provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor under their respective Agreements, as well as information regarding the Advisor’s revenues and costs of providing services to the Funds and any compensation paid to affiliates of the Advisor. At the meetings at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement is considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, comparability of fees and total expenses, and profitability. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Advisor and the Subadvisor is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board also took into account discussions with management and information provided to the Board (including its various committees) at prior meetings with respect to the services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor to the Funds, including quarterly performance reports prepared by management containing reviews of investment results and prior presentations from the Subadvisor with respect to the Funds it manages. The information received and considered by the Board in connection with the May and June meetings and throughout the year was both written and oral. The Board also considered the nature, quality, and extent of the non-advisory services, if any, to be provided to the Funds by the Advisor and/or its affiliates, including administrative services.  The Board considered the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement separately in the course of its review. In doing so, the Board noted the respective roles of the Advisor and Subadvisor in providing services to the Funds. In addition, although the Board approved the renewal of the Agreements for all the Funds at the June meeting, the Board considered each Fund separately.
Throughout the process, the Board asked questions of and requested additional information from management. The Board is assisted by counsel for the Trust and the Independent Trustees are also separately assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the process. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements and discussed the proposed continuation of the Agreements in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
Approval of Advisory Agreement
In approving the Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered a variety of factors, including those discussed below. The Board also considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy, the securities markets and the industry) and did not treat any single factor as determinative, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to different factors. The Board’s conclusions may be based in part on its consideration of the advisory and subadvisory arrangements in prior years and on the Board’s ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year.
Nature, extent and quality of services. Among the information received by the Board from the Advisor relating to the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the Funds, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, descriptions of its organizational and management structure, and information regarding the Advisor’s compliance and regulatory history, including its Form ADV. The Board also noted that on a regular basis it receives and reviews information from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) regarding the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor, and of the undertakings required of the Advisor in connection with those services, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the fund’s compliance programs, risk management programs, liquidity risk management programs, derivatives risk management programs, and cybersecurity programs, had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other developments. The Board considered that the Advisor is responsible for the management of the day-to-day operations of the Funds, including, but not limited to, general supervision of and coordination of the services provided by the Subadvisor, and is also responsible for monitoring and reviewing the activities of the Subadvisor and other third-party service providers, including the Funds’ distributor. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Funds including entrepreneurial risk in sponsoring new Funds and ongoing risks including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks with respect to all Funds.
In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, the Trustees also took into account their knowledge of the Advisor’s management and the quality of the performance of the Advisor’s duties, through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year and through each Trustee’s experience as a Trustee of the Trust and of the other trusts in the John Hancock group of funds complex (the John Hancock Fund Complex).

Table of Contents
In the course of their deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered, among other things:
(a)the skills and competency with which the Advisor has in the past managed the Trust’s affairs and its subadvisory relationships, the Advisor’s oversight and monitoring of the Subadvisor’s investment performance and compliance programs, such as the Subadvisor’s compliance with fund policies and objectives, review of brokerage matters, including with respect to trade allocation and best execution, and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to performance issues;
(b)the background, qualifications and skills of the Advisor’s personnel;
(c)the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures and its responsiveness to regulatory changes and fund industry developments;
(d)the Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Funds, as well as the Advisor’s oversight of any securities lending activity, its monitoring of class action litigation and collection of class action settlements on behalf of the Funds, and bringing loss recovery actions on behalf of the Funds;
(e)the financial condition of the Advisor and whether it has the financial wherewithal to provide a high level and quality of services to the Funds;
(f)the Advisor’s initiatives intended to improve various aspects of the Trust’s operations and investor experience with the Funds; and
(g)the Advisor’s reputation and experience in serving as an investment advisor to the Trust and the benefit to shareholders of investing in funds that are part of a family of funds offering a variety of investments.
The Board concluded that the Advisor may reasonably be expected to continue to provide a high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds.
Investment performance. In considering each Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Funds’ performance results. In connection with the consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board:
(a)reviewed information prepared by management regarding the Funds’ performance;
(b)considered the comparative performance of each Fund’s respective benchmark index;
(c)considered the performance of comparable funds, if any, as included in the report prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data; and
(d)took into account the Advisor’s analysis of each Fund’s performance and its plans and recommendations regarding the Trust’s subadvisory arrangements generally and with respect to particular Funds.
The Board noted that while it found the data provided by the independent third-party generally useful it recognized its limitations, including in particular that the data may vary depending on the end date selected and the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection of the peer group. The Board reviewed Fund performance against each Fund’s respective benchmark and concluded that the performance of certain Funds has generally been in line with or generally outperformed the historical performance of comparable funds based on the median percentile and/or each Fund’s respective benchmark with certain exceptions noted in Appendix A. In such cases, the Board concluded that such performance is being monitored and reasonably addressed, where appropriate.
Fees and expenses. The Board reviewed comparative information prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data, including, among other data, each Fund’s contractual and net management fees (and subadvisory fees, to the extent available) and total expenses as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management and advisory and subadvisory services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. The Board considered each Fund’s ranking within a smaller group of peer funds chosen by the independent third-party provider, as well as the Fund’s ranking within broader groups of funds. In comparing each Fund’s contractual and net management fees to that of comparable funds, the Board noted that such fees include both advisory and administrative costs.
The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Funds’ expenses, including previous actions taken to reduce management fees for certain of the Funds. The Board also took into account management’s discussion with respect to the overall management fee and the fees of the Subadvisor, including the amount of the advisory fee retained by the Advisor after payment of the subadvisory fee, in each case in light of the services rendered for those amounts and the risks undertaken by the Advisor. The Board also noted that the Advisor pays the subadvisory fees of the Funds, and that such fees are negotiated at arm’s length with respect to the Subadvisor. The Board also took into account that management had agreed to implement an overall fee waiver across the complex, including each of the Funds, which is discussed further below. The Board also noted management’s discussion of the Funds’ expenses, as well as any actions taken over the past several years to reduce the Funds’ operating expenses. The Board also noted that, in addition, the Advisor is currently waiving fees and/or reimbursing expenses with respect to each Fund. The Board also took into account that management has approved the implementation of breakpoints in each Fund’s subadvisory fee schedule. The Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor concerning the investment advisory fees charged by the Advisor or one of its advisory affiliates to other clients (including other funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex) having similar investment mandates, if any. The Board considered any differences between the Advisor’s and Subadvisor’s services to a Fund and the services they provide to other comparable clients or funds. The Board concluded that the advisory fee paid with respect to each of the Funds is reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement.
Profitability/Fall out benefits. In considering the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the Advisor’s relationship with the Trust, the Board:
(a)reviewed financial information of the Advisor;
(b)reviewed and considered information presented by the Advisor regarding the net profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates with respect to each Fund;
   | JOHN HANCOCK MULTIFACTOR ETFS 64

Table of Contents
(c)received and reviewed profitability information with respect to the John Hancock Fund Complex as a whole and with respect to each Fund;
(d)received information with respect to the Advisor’s allocation methodologies used in preparing the profitability data and considered that the Advisor hired an independent third-party consultant to provide an analysis of the Advisor’s allocation methodologies;
(e)considered that the John Hancock insurance companies that are affiliates of the Advisor, as shareholders of the Trust directly or through their separate accounts, receive certain tax credits or deductions relating to foreign taxes paid and dividends received by certain Funds of the Trust and noted that these tax benefits, which are not available to participants in qualified retirement plans under applicable income tax law, are reflected in the profitability analysis reviewed by the Board;
(f)considered that the Advisor also provides administrative services to the Funds on a cost basis pursuant to an administrative services agreement;
(g)noted that the Advisor also derives reputational and other indirect benefits from providing advisory services to the Funds;
(h)noted that the subadvisory fees for the Funds are paid by the Advisor and are negotiated at arm’s length;
(i)noted that the Advisor also pays the Subadvisor a license fee in connection with each Fund’s use of its Underlying Index;
(j)considered the Advisor’s ongoing costs and expenditures necessary to improve services, meet new regulatory and compliance requirements, and adapt to other challenges impacting the fund industry; and
(k)considered that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to each Fund and the risks that it assumes as Advisor, including entrepreneurial, operational, reputational, litigation and regulatory risk.
Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the level of profitability, if any, of the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund was reasonable and not excessive.
Economies of scale. In considering the extent to which a Fund may realize any economies of scale and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, the Board:
(a)considered that the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee for certain funds of the John Hancock Fund Complex, including the Funds (the participating portfolios) or otherwise reimburse the expenses of the participating portfolios (the reimbursement). This waiver is based upon aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated daily and allocated among all the participating portfolios in proportion to the daily net assets of each Fund;
(b)the Board also took into account management’s discussion of each Fund’s advisory fee structure; and
(c)considered the effect of the Funds’ growth in size on their performance and fees. The Board also noted that if the Funds’ assets increase over time, the Funds may realize other economies of scale.
Approval of Subadvisory Agreement
In making its determination with respect to approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board reviewed:
(1)information relating to the Subadvisor’s business, including current subadvisory services to the Trust (and other funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex);
(2)the historical and current performance of each Fund and comparative performance information relating to the Fund’s benchmark and comparable funds;
(3)the subadvisory fee for each Fund, including the approved breakpoints for each of the Funds and to the extent available, comparable fee information prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data; and
(4)information relating to the nature and scope of any material relationships and their significance to the Trust’s Advisor and Subadvisor.
Nature, extent, and quality of services. With respect to the services provided by the Subadvisor with respect to each Fund, the Board received information provided to the Board by the Subadvisor, including the Subadvisor’s Form ADV, as well as took into account information presented throughout the past year. The Board considered the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources, as well as received information relating to the Subadvisor’s compensation program. The Board reviewed the Subadvisor’s history and investment experience, as well as information regarding the qualifications, background, and responsibilities of the Subadvisor’s investment and compliance personnel who provide services to the Funds. The Board also considered, among other things, the Subadvisor’s compliance program and any disciplinary history. The Board also considered the Subadvisor’s risk assessment and monitoring process. The Board reviewed the Subadvisor’s regulatory history, including whether it was involved in any regulatory actions or investigations as well as material litigation, and any settlements and amelioratory actions undertaken, as appropriate. The Board noted that the Advisor conducts regular, periodic reviews of the Subadvisor and its operations, including regarding investment processes and organizational and staffing matters. The Board also noted that the Trust’s CCO and his staff conduct regular, periodic compliance reviews with the Subadvisor and present reports to the Independent Trustees regarding the same, which includes evaluating the regulatory compliance systems of the Subadvisor and procedures reasonably designed to assure compliance with the federal securities laws. The Board also took into account the financial condition of the Subadvisor.
The Board considered the Subadvisor’s investment process and philosophy. The Board took into account that the Subadvisor’s responsibilities include the development and maintenance of an investment program for each Fund that is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, the selection of investment securities and the placement of orders for the purchase and sale of such securities, as well as the implementation of compliance controls related to performance of these services. The Board also received information with respect to the Subadvisor’s brokerage policies and practices, including with respect to best execution and soft dollars.

Subadvisor compensation. In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with each Fund, the Board noted that the fees under the Subadvisory Agreement are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds.
The Board also relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate the Subadvisory Agreement with the Subadvisor, which is not affiliated with the Advisor, and the fees thereunder at arm’s length. As a result, the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Subadvisor from its relationship with the Trust were not a material factor in the Board’s consideration of the Subadvisory Agreement.
The Board also received information regarding the nature and scope (including their significance to the Advisor and its affiliates and to the Subadvisor) of any material relationships with respect to the Subadvisor, which include arrangements in which the Subadvisor or its affiliates provide advisory, distribution, or management services in connection with financial products sponsored by the Advisor or its affiliates, and may include other registered investment companies, a 529 education savings plan, managed separate accounts and exempt group annuity contracts sold to qualified plans. The Board also received information and took into account any other potential conflicts of interest the Advisor might have in connection with the Subadvisory Agreement.
In addition, the Board considered other potential indirect benefits that the Subadvisor and its affiliates may receive from the Subadvisor’s relationship with the Funds, such as the opportunity to provide advisory services to additional funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex and reputational benefits.
Subadvisory fees. The Board considered that the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor and that, in turn, the Advisor pays subadvisory fees to the Subadvisor. As noted above, the Board also considered each Fund’s subadvisory fees as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Funds as included in the report prepared by the independent third-party provider of fund data, to the extent available. The Board noted that the limited size of the Lipper peer groups were not sufficient for comparative purposes. The Board also took into account the subadvisory fees paid by the Advisor to the Subadvisor with respect to the Funds to fees charged by each Fund’s Subadvisor to manage other subadvised portfolios and portfolios not subject to regulation under the 1940 Act, as applicable.
Subadvisor performance. As noted above, the Board considered each Fund’s performance as compared to the Fund’s respective peer group median and the benchmark index and noted that the Board reviews information about the Fund’s performance results at its regularly scheduled meetings. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style, and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadvisor. The Board was mindful of the Advisor’s focus on the Subadvisor’s performance. The Board also noted the Subadvisor’s long-term performance record for similar accounts, as applicable.
The Board’s decision to approve the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund was based on a number of determinations, including the following:
(1)the Subadvisor has extensive experience and demonstrated skills as a manager;
(2)although not without variation, the performance of certain Funds have generally been in line with or generally outperformed the historical performance of comparable funds, based on the median percentile, and/or each Fund’s respective benchmark, with certain exceptions noted in Appendix A (with respect to such exceptions, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance is being monitored and reasonably addressed, where appropriate);
(3)the subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to the level and quality of services being provided under the Subadvisory Agreement; and
(4)that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds and the Board has approved the implementation of breakpoints to each of the Fund’s subadvisory fee schedule.
Additional information relating to each Fund’s fees and expenses and performance that the Board considered in approving the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement for a particular Fund is set forth in Appendix A.
***
Based on the Board’s evaluation of all factors that the Board deemed to be material, including those factors described above, and assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that renewal of the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund would be in the best interest of each of the respective Funds and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, and the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund for an additional one-year period.

Note 2Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant. The funds qualify as investment companies under Topic 946 of Accounting Standards Codification of US GAAP.
Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time. In case of emergency or other disruption resulting in the NYSE not opening for trading or the NYSE closing at a time other than the regularly scheduled close, the net asset value (NAV) may be determined as of the regularly scheduled close of the NYSE pursuant to the Valuation Policies and Procedures of the Advisor, John Hancock Investment Management LLC, the funds’ valuation designee.
In order to value the securities, the funds use the following valuation techniques: Debt obligations are typically valued based on evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing vendor. Independent pricing vendors utilize matrix pricing, which takes into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data, as well as broker supplied prices. Equity securities, including exchange-traded or closed-end funds, are typically valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or principal market where the security trades. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Investments by the funds in open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Trust (JHCT), are valued at their respective NAVs each business day. Futures contracts whose settlement prices are determined as of the close of the NYSE are typically valued based on the settlement price while other futures contracts are typically valued at the last traded price on the exchange on which they trade.
In certain instances, the Pricing Committee of the Advisor may determine to value equity securities using prices obtained from another exchange or market if trading on the exchange or market on which prices are typically obtained did not open for trading as scheduled, or if trading closed earlier than scheduled, and trading occurred as normal on another exchange or market.
Other portfolio securities and assets, for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed.
The funds use a three tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, including registered investment companies. Level 2 includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the Advisor’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques and related inputs may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

When-issued/delayed-delivery securities. The funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, or in a “To Be Announced” (TBA) or “forward commitment” transaction, with delivery or payment to occur at a later date beyond the normal settlement period. TBA securities resulting from these transactions are included in the portfolio or in a schedule to the portfolio (Sale Commitments Outstanding). At the time a fund enters into a commitment to purchase or sell a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security is reflected in its NAV. The price of such security and the date that the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. No interest accrues on debt securities until settlement takes place. At the time that the fund enters into this type of transaction, the fund is required to have sufficient cash and/or liquid securities to cover its commitments.
Certain risks may arise upon entering into when-issued or delayed-delivery securities transactions, including the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts, and the issuer’s failure to issue the securities due to political, economic or other factors. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities purchased or sold prior to settlement date.
Stripped securities. Stripped securities are financial instruments structured to separate principal and interest cash flows so that one class receives principal payments from the underlying assets (PO or principal only), while the other class receives the interest cash flows (IO or interest only). Both PO and IO investments represent an interest in the cash flows of an underlying stripped security. If the underlying assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the funds may fail to fully recover its initial investment in an IO security. The market value of these securities can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates or prepayments on the underlying securities. In addition, these securities present additional credit risk such that the funds may not receive all or part of its principal or interest payments because the borrower or issuer has defaulted on its obligation.
Mortgage and asset-backed securities. The funds may invest in mortgage-related securities, such as mortgage-backed securities, and other asset-backed securities, which are debt obligations that represent interests in pools of mortgages or other income-bearing assets, such as consumer loans or receivables. Such securities often involve risks that are different from the risks associated with investing in other types of debt securities. Mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities are subject to changes in the payment patterns of borrowers of the underlying debt. When interest rates fall, borrowers are more likely to refinance or prepay their debt before its stated maturity. This may result in the funds having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities, effectively reducing the funds’ income. Conversely, if interest rates rise and borrowers repay their debt more slowly than expected, the time in which the mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities are paid off could be extended, reducing the funds’ cash available for reinvestment in higher yielding securities.  The timely payment of principal and interest of certain mortgage-related securities is guaranteed with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Pools created and guaranteed by non-governmental issuers, including government-sponsored corporations (e.g., FNMA), may be supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, but there can be no assurance that private insurers or guarantors can meet their obligations under the insurance policies or guarantee arrangements. The funds are also subject to risks associated with securities with contractual cash flows including asset-backed and mortgage related securities such as collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage pass-through securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate value, pre-payments, delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.
Real estate investment trusts. The funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs). Distributions from REITs may be recorded as income and subsequently characterized by the REIT at the end of their fiscal year as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. As a result, the funds will estimate the components of distributions from these securities. Such estimates are revised when the actual components of the distributions are known.
Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily NAV calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization/accretion of premiums/discounts on debt securities. Debt obligations may be placed in a non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by stopping current accruals and writing off interest receivable when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Dividend income is recorded on ex-date, except for dividends of certain foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. In those cases, dividend income, net of withholding taxes, is recorded when the fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.
Securities lending. The funds may lend their securities to earn additional income. The funds receive collateral from the borrower in an amount not less than the market value of the loaned securities. The funds may invest their cash collateral in JHCT, an affiliate of the funds, which has a floating NAV and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment company. JHCT is a government money market fund and invests in U.S. Government securities and/or repurchase agreements. Each fund will receive the benefit of any gains and bear any losses generated by JHCT with respect to the cash collateral.
The funds have the right to recall loaned securities on demand. If a borrower fails to return loaned securities when due, then the lending agent is responsible and indemnifies the funds for the lent securities. The lending agent uses the collateral received from the borrower to purchase replacement securities of the same issue,

type, class and series of the loaned securities. If the value of the collateral is less than the purchase cost of replacement securities, the lending agent is responsible for satisfying the shortfall but only to the extent that the shortfall is not due to any decrease in the value of JHCT.
Although the risk of loss on securities lent is mitigated by receiving collateral from the borrower and through lending agent indemnification, the funds could experience a delay in recovering securities or could experience a lower than expected return if the borrower fails to return the securities on a timely basis. During the existence of the loan, the funds will receive from the borrower amounts equivalent to any dividends, interest or other distributions on the loaned securities, as well as interest on such amounts. The funds receive compensation for lending their securities by retaining a portion of the return on the investment of the collateral and compensation from fees earned from borrowers of the securities. Securities lending income received by the funds is net of fees retained by the securities lending agent. Net income received from JHCT is a component of securities lending income as recorded on the Statements of operations.
Obligations to repay collateral received by the funds are shown on the Statements of assets and liabilities as Payable upon return of securities loaned and are secured by the loaned securities. The following table summarizes the values of securities loaned by the funds and the corresponding cash collateral received at October 31, 2025.
In addition, non-cash collateral in the form of U.S. Treasuries was pledged, as indicated below. This non-cash collateral cannot be sold or repledged by the funds, and accordingly, is not reflected in the funds’ net assets.

Foreign investing. Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the value of securities is reflected as a component of the realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Foreign investments are subject to a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.
Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors.
Foreign taxes. The funds may be subject to withholding tax on income, capital gains or repatriations imposed by certain countries, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes are accrued based upon the funds’ understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Taxes are accrued based on gains realized by the funds as a result of certain foreign security sales. In certain circumstances, estimated taxes are accrued based on unrealized appreciation of such securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign withholding taxes.
Overdraft. The funds may have the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the funds’ custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the funds to make properly authorized payments. The funds are obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and to the maximum extent permitted by law. Overdrafts at period end, if any, are presented under the caption Due to custodian in the Statements of assets and liabilities.
Line of credit. The funds and other affiliated funds have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. as the administrative agent that enables them to participate in a $1 billion unsecured committed line of credit, which is in effect through July 13, 2026 unless extended or renewed. Excluding commitments designated for certain funds and subject to the needs of all other affiliated funds, a fund can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $750 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement.
A commitment fee payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of each line of credit, is charged to each participating fund based on an asset-based allocation and is reflected in Other expenses on the Statements of operations. For the six months ended October 31, 2025, the funds had no borrowings under the line of credit.
Commitment fees for the six months ended October 31, 2025 were as follows:
Fund Commitment fee
Core Bond ETF   $38
Core Plus Bond ETF   130
Corporate Bond ETF   144
Dynamic Municipal Bond ETF   70

Expenses. Within the John Hancock group of funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and each fund’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known. Core Bond ETF and Core Plus Bond ETF incurred offering costs of $52,563 and $48,495, respectively, which are amortized over each fund’s first year of

operations. During the six months ended October 31, 2025, $30,421 and $19,560 of offering costs were expensed by Core Bond ETF and Core Plus Bond ETF, respectively, and are included Offering costs within the Statements of Operations. At October 31, 2025, $2,830 and $1,606 of unamortized offering costs are included in Other assets within the Statements of assets and liabilities for Core Bond ETF and Core Plus Bond ETF, respectively.
Federal income taxes. Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
For federal income tax purposes, as of April 30, 2025, certain funds have short-term and long-term capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains. These carryforwards do not expire. The following table details the capital loss carryforwards available as of April 30, 2025:
  No Expiration Date
Fund Short Term Long Term
Core Bond ETF   $4,729  
Core Plus Bond ETF   30,510  
Corporate Bond ETF   72,864   $2,472,724
Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF   134,220   1,731,271
Preferred Income ETF   1,339,035   763,213
Due to certain Internal Revenue Code rules, utilization of the capital loss carryforwards may be limited in future years.
As of April 30, 2025, the funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The funds’ federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
For federal income tax purposes, the costs of investments owned on October 31, 2025, including short-term investments, were as follows:

Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The funds generally declare and pay dividends from net investment income monthly. All funds generally declare and pay capital gain distributions, if any, annually.
Such distributions, on a tax basis, if any, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in the funds’ financial statements as a return of capital. The final determination of tax characteristics of the funds’ distribution will occur at the end of the year and will subsequently be reported to shareholders.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences at fiscal year end. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to amortization and accretion on debt securities, wash sale loss deferrals and redemptions in-kind.
Note 3Derivative instruments
The funds may invest in derivatives in order to meet their investment objective. Derivatives include a variety of different instruments that may be traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, on a regulated exchange or through a clearing facility. The risks in using derivatives vary depending upon the structure of the instruments, including the use of leverage, optionality, the liquidity or lack of liquidity of the contract, the creditworthiness of the counterparty or clearing organization and the volatility of the position. Some derivatives involve risks that are potentially greater than the risks associated with investing directly in the referenced securities or other referenced underlying instrument. Specifically, the funds are exposed to the risk that the counterparty to an OTC derivatives contract will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. OTC derivatives transactions typically can only be closed out with the other party to the transaction.
Certain derivatives are traded or cleared on an exchange or central clearinghouse. Exchange-traded or centrally-cleared transactions generally present less counterparty risk to a fund than OTC transactions. The exchange or clearinghouse stands between the funds and the broker to the contract and therefore, credit risk is generally limited to the failure of the exchange or clearinghouse and the clearing member.
Futures. A futures contract is a contractual agreement to buy or sell a particular currency or financial instrument at a pre-determined price in the future. Futures are traded on an exchange and cleared through a central clearinghouse. Risks related to the use of futures contracts include possible illiquidity of the futures markets and contract prices that can be highly volatile and imperfectly correlated to movements in the underlying financial instrument and potential losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of assets and liabilities. Use of long futures contracts subjects the funds to the risk of loss up to the notional value of the futures
   | JOHN HANCOCK ACTIVE FIXED INCOME ETFS 74

Table of Contents
contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the funds to unlimited risk of loss.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the funds are required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities. The amount of required margin is set by the broker and is generally based on a percentage of the contract value. The margin deposit must then be maintained at the established level over the life of the contract. Cash that has been pledged by the funds, if any, is detailed in the Statements of assets and liabilities as Collateral held at broker for futures contracts. Securities pledged by the funds, if any, are identified in the Funds’ investments. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the funds periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and unrealized gain or loss is recorded by the funds. Receivable/Payable for futures variation margin is included in the Statements of assets and liabilities. When the contract is closed, the funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
The following table details how the funds used futures contracts during the six months ended October 31, 2025. In addition, the table summarizes the range of notional contract amounts held by the funds, as measured at each quarter end:
Fund Reason USD Notional range
Core Bond ETF The fund used futures contracts to manage against changes in interest rates. As of October 31, 2025, there were no open futures contracts. Up to $112,800 as measured during the period

Note 4Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, including the funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) serves as investment advisor for the funds. The Advisor is an indirect, principally owned subsidiary of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.), which in turn is a subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC).

The funds are not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock group of funds complex, including the funds (the participating portfolios). This waiver is based upon aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated daily and allocated among all the participating portfolios in proportion to the daily net assets of the funds. During the six months ended October 31, 2025, this waiver amounted to 0.01% of the funds’ average daily net assets, on an annualized basis. This agreement expires on July 31, 2027, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the funds and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.
The Advisor contractually agrees to reduce its management fee or, if necessary, make a payment to Core Bond ETF, Core Plus Bond ETF, Corporate Bond ETF, Dynamic Municipal Bond ETF, High Yield ETF, Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF and Preferred Income ETF in an amount equal to the amount by which expenses of the funds exceed 0.29%, 0.36%, 0.29%, 0.39%, 0.52%, 0.39% and 0.54%, respectively, of average daily net assets. Expenses means all the expenses of the funds, excluding (a) taxes, (b) brokerage commissions, (c) interest expense, (d) litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the funds’ business, (e) borrowing costs, (f) prime brokerage fees, (g) acquired fund fees and expenses paid indirectly, and (h) short dividend expense. This agreement expires on August 31, 2026, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the funds and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.
The expense reductions described above amount to the following for the six months ended October 31, 2025.
Fund Expense reimbursement
Core Bond ETF   $84,692
Core Plus Bond ETF   85,964
Corporate Bond ETF   73,245
Dynamic Municipal Bond ETF   57,062
Fund Expense reimbursement
High Yield ETF   $57,491
Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF   70,720
Preferred Income ETF   78,714
Expenses waived or reimbursed in the current fiscal period are not subject to recapture in future fiscal periods.
The investment management fees, including the impact of the waivers and reimbursements as described above, incurred for the six months ended October 31, 2025, were equivalent to a net annual effective rate of the funds’ average daily net assets:
Fund Net Annual Effective Rate
Core Bond ETF 0.00%
Core Plus Bond ETF 0.00%
Corporate Bond ETF 0.01%
Dynamic Municipal Bond ETF 0.00%
Fund Net Annual Effective Rate
High Yield ETF 0.19%
Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF 0.25%
Preferred Income ETF 0.33%
Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the funds reimburse the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, compliance, accounting and recordkeeping services to the funds, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These accounting and legal services fees incurred, for the six months ended October 31, 2025, amounted to an annual rate of 0.02% of the funds’ average daily net assets.
Trustee expenses. The funds compensate each Trustee who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates. The costs of paying Trustee compensation and expenses are allocated to each fund based on their net assets relative to other funds within the John Hancock group of funds complex.
Note 6Capital share transactions
The funds will issue and redeem shares only in a large number of specified shares, each called a “creation unit,” or multiples thereof. The funds issue and redeem shares at NAV in creation units of 50,000 shares for Corporate Bond ETF and 25,000 shares for Core Bond ETF, Core Plus Bond ETF, Dynamic Municipal Bond ETF, High Yield ETF, Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF and Preferred Income ETF, respectively.
Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the funds. Such transactions generally take place when an authorized participant deposits into a fund a designated portfolio of securities and/or cash in exchange for a specified number of creation units. Similarly, shares can be redeemed only in creation units, generally for a designated portfolio of securities and/or cash. For purposes of US GAAP, in-kind redemption transactions are treated as a sale of securities and any resulting gains and losses are recognized based on the market value of the securities on the date of the transfer. Authorized participants pay a
   | JOHN HANCOCK ACTIVE FIXED INCOME ETFS 76

Table of Contents
transaction fee to the custodian when purchasing and redeeming creation units of the funds. The transaction fee is used to defray the costs associated with the issuance and redemption of creation units. Individual shares of the funds may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Secondary market transactions may be subject to brokerage commissions. Shares of the funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc., trade at market prices rather than NAV, and may trade at a price greater than or less than NAV.
Authorized participants transacting in creation or redemption of units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for the costs associated with purchasing or selling the applicable securities. Fixed transaction fees payable to the custodian may also be incurred on creation and redemption transactions. For the six months ended October 31, 2025, such variable and/or fixed transaction fees were approximately $6,527, $1,248, $5,924, $26,758, $37,320 and $93,423 for Core Plus Bond ETF, Corporate Bond ETF, Dynamic Municipal Bond ETF, High Yield ETF, Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF and Preferred Income ETF, respectively. These charges are included in shares issued or repurchased on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Affiliates of Core Bond ETF, Core Plus Bond ETF, Corporate Bond ETF, Dynamic Municipal Bond ETF, High Yield ETF and Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF, owned 59%, 69%, 6%, 53%, 52% and 4%, respectively, of shares of the fund on October 31, 2025. Such concentration of shareholders’ capital could have a material effect on a fund if such shareholders redeem from the fund.
Note 7Purchase and sale of securities
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term investments and in-kind transactions, are aggregated below for the six months ended October 31, 2025. In addition, purchases and sales of in-kind transactions are aggregated below for the six months ended October 31, 2025:

Note 8Industry or sector risk
The funds may invest a large percentage of their assets in one or more particular industries or sectors of the economy. If a large percentage of a fund’s assets are economically tied to a single or small number of industries or sectors of the economy, the fund will be less diversified than a more broadly diversified fund, and it may cause the fund to underperform if that industry or sector underperforms. In addition, focusing on a particular industry or sector may make the fund’s NAV more volatile. Further, a fund that invests in particular industries or sectors is particularly susceptible to the impact of market, economic, regulatory and other factors affecting those industries or sectors. Financial services companies can be hurt by economic declines, changes in interest rates, and regulatory and market impacts.
Note 9Investment in affiliated underlying funds
The funds may invest in affiliated underlying funds that are managed by the Advisor and its affiliates. Information regarding the funds’ fiscal year to date purchases and sales of the affiliated underlying funds as well as income and capital gains earned by the funds, if any, is as follows:

Note 10Segment reporting
The management committee of the Advisor acts as the funds’ chief operating decision maker (the CODM), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. Each fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors and assesses the operating results of the fund as a whole, and the fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is managed in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the portfolio management team of the fund’s subadvisor. Segment assets are reflected in the Statements of assets and liabilities as “Total assets”, which consists primarily of total investments at value. The financial information, including the measurement of profit and loss and significant expenses, provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented within the Statements of operations, which includes “Increase (decrease) in net assets from operations”, Statements of changes in net assets, which includes “Increase (decrease) in net assets from fund share transactions”, and Financial highlights, which includes total return and income and expense ratios.

EVALUATION OF ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

This section describes the evaluation by the Board of Trustees (the Board) of John Hancock Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the Trust) of the Advisory Agreement (the Advisory Agreement) with John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) and the Subadvisory Agreement with Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC (MIM (US)) with respect to Corporate Bond ETF, Dynamic Municipal Bond ETF, Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF and Preferred Income ETF and the Subadvisory Agreement with Marathon Asset Management LP ("Marathon," together with MIM (US), the Subadvisors) with respect to High Yield ETF (the Funds). The Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements are collectively referred to as the Agreements. Prior to the June 23-26, 2025 meeting at which the Agreements were approved, the Board also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Agreements at a meeting held on May 27 – May 29, 2025. The Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) (the Independent Trustees) also met separately to evaluate and discuss the information presented, including with counsel to the Independent Trustees and a third-party consulting firm.
Approval of Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements
At a meeting held on June 23-26, 2025, the Board, including the Trustees who are not parties to any Agreement or considered to be interested persons of the Trust under the 1940 Act, reapproved for an annual period the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisor and the Subadvisory Agreements between the Advisor and the Subadvisors with respect to each of the Funds identified in Appendix A.
In considering the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements with respect to each Fund, the Board received in advance of the meetings a variety of materials relating to each Fund, the Advisor and the Subadvisors, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for peer groups of similar funds prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data; performance information for the Funds’ benchmark indices; and, with respect to the Subadvisors, comparative performance information for comparably managed accounts, as applicable; and other information provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisors regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisors under their respective Agreements, as well as information regarding the Advisor’s revenues and costs of providing services to the Funds and any compensation paid to affiliates of the Advisor. At the meetings at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements is considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, comparability of fees and total expenses, and profitability. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Advisor and the Subadvisors is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board also took into account discussions with management and information provided to the Board (including its various committees) at prior meetings with respect to the services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisors to the Funds, including quarterly performance reports prepared by management containing reviews of investment results and prior presentations from the Subadvisors with respect to the Funds they manage. The information received and considered by the Board in connection with the May and June meetings and throughout the year was both written and oral. The Board noted the affiliation of MIM (US) with the Advisor, noting any potential conflicts of interest. The Board also considered the nature, quality, and extent of the non-advisory services, if any, to be provided to the Funds by the Advisor and/or its affiliates, including administrative services. The Board considered the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements separately in the course of its review. In doing so, the Board noted the respective roles of the Advisor and Subadvisors in providing services to the Funds. In addition, although the Board approved the renewal of the Agreements for all the Funds at the June meeting, the Board considered each Fund separately.
Throughout the process, the Board asked questions of and requested additional information from management. The Board is assisted by counsel for the Trust and the Independent Trustees are also separately assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the process. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements and discussed the proposed continuation of the Agreements in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
Approval of Advisory Agreement
In approving the Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered a variety of factors, including those discussed below. The Board also considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy, the securities markets and the industry) and did not treat any single factor as determinative, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to different factors. The Board’s conclusions may be based in part on its consideration of the advisory and subadvisory arrangements in prior years and on the Board’s ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year.
Nature, extent and quality of services. Among the information received by the Board from the Advisor relating to the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the Funds, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, descriptions of its organizational and management structure, and information regarding the Advisor’s compliance and regulatory history, including its Form ADV. The Board also noted that on a regular basis it receives and reviews information from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) regarding the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor, and of the undertakings required of the Advisor in connection with those services, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the fund’s compliance programs, risk management programs, liquidity risk management programs, derivatives risk management programs, and cybersecurity programs, had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other developments. The Board considered that the Advisor is responsible for the management of the day-to-day operations of the Funds, including, but not limited to, general supervision of and coordination of the services provided by the Subadvisor, and is also responsible for monitoring and reviewing the activities of the Subadvisor and third-party service providers, including the Funds’ distributor. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Funds including entrepreneurial risk in sponsoring new Funds and ongoing risks including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks with respect to all Funds.
In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, the Trustees also took into account their knowledge of the Advisor’s management and the quality of the performance of the Advisor’s duties, through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year and through each Trustee’s experience as a Trustee of the Trust and of the other trusts in the John Hancock group of funds complex (the John Hancock Fund Complex).

Table of Contents
In the course of their deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered, among other things:
(a)the skills and competency with which the Advisor has in the past managed the Trust’s affairs and its subadvisory relationships, the Advisor’s oversight and monitoring of the Subadvisor’s investment performance and compliance programs, such as the Subadvisor’s compliance with fund policies and objectives, review of brokerage matters, including with respect to trade allocation and best execution, and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to performance issues;
(b)the background, qualifications and skills of the Advisor’s personnel;
(c)the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures and its responsiveness to regulatory changes and fund industry developments;
(d)the Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Funds, as well as the Advisor’s oversight of any securities lending activity, its monitoring of class action litigation and collection of class action settlements on behalf of the Funds, and bringing loss recovery actions on behalf of the Funds;
(e)the financial condition of the Advisor and whether it has the financial wherewithal to provide a high level and quality of services to the Funds;
(f)the Advisor’s initiatives intended to improve various aspects of the Trust’s operations and investor experience with the Funds; and
(g)the Advisor’s reputation and experience in serving as an investment advisor to the Trust and the benefit to shareholders of investing in funds that are part of a family of funds offering a variety of investments.
The Board concluded that the Advisor may reasonably be expected to continue to provide a high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds.
Investment performance. In considering each Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Funds’ performance results. In connection with the consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board:
(a)reviewed information prepared by management regarding the Funds’ performance;
(b)considered the comparative performance of each Fund’s respective benchmark index;
(c)considered the performance of comparable funds, if any, as included in the report prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data; and
(d)took into account the Advisor’s analysis of each Fund’s performance and its plans and recommendations regarding the Trust’s subadvisory arrangements generally and with respect to particular Funds.
The Board noted that while it found the data provided by the independent third-party generally useful it recognized its limitations, including in particular that the data may vary depending on the end date selected and the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection of the peer group. The Board reviewed Fund performance against each Fund’s respective benchmark and concluded that the performance of the Funds has generally been in line with or generally outperformed the historical performance of comparable funds based on the median percentile and/or each Fund’s respective benchmark as noted in Appendix A.
Fees and expenses. The Board reviewed comparative information prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data, including, among other data, each Fund’s contractual and net management fees (and subadvisory fees, to the extent available) and total expenses as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management and advisory and subadvisory services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisors. The Board considered each Fund’s ranking within a smaller group of peer funds chosen by the independent third-party provider, as well as the Fund’s ranking within broader groups of funds. In comparing each Fund’s contractual and net management fees to that of comparable funds, the Board noted that such fees include both advisory and administrative costs.
The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Funds’ expenses, including previous actions taken to reduce management fees for certain of the Funds. The Board also took into account management’s discussion with respect to the overall management fee and the fees of the Subadvisors, including the amount of the advisory fee retained by the Advisor after payment of the subadvisory fee, in each case in light of the services rendered for those amounts and the risks undertaken by the Advisor. The Board also noted that the Advisor pays the subadvisory fees of the Funds. The Board also took into account that management had agreed to implement an overall fee waiver across the complex, including each of the Funds, which is discussed further below. The Board also noted management’s discussion of the Funds’ expenses, as well as any actions taken over the past several years to reduce the Funds’ operating expenses. The Board also noted that, in addition, the Advisor is currently waiving fees and/or reimbursing expenses with respect to each Fund. The Board also took into account that management has approved the implementation of breakpoints in each Fund’s subadvisory fee schedule. The Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor concerning the investment advisory fees charged by the Advisor or one of its advisory affiliates to other clients (including other funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex) having similar investment mandates, if any. The Board considered any differences between the Advisor’s and Subadvisor’s services to a Fund and the services they provide to other comparable clients or funds. The Board concluded that the advisory fee paid with respect to each of the Funds is reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement.
Profitability/Fall out benefits. In considering the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the Advisor’s relationship with the Trust, the Board:
(a)reviewed financial information of the Advisor;
(b)reviewed and considered information presented by the Advisor regarding the net profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates with respect to each Fund;
(c)received and reviewed profitability information with respect to the John Hancock Fund Complex as a whole and with respect to each Fund;
   | JOHN HANCOCK ACTIVE FIXED INCOME ETFS 80

Table of Contents
(d)received information with respect to the Advisor’s allocation methodologies used in preparing the profitability data and considered that the Advisor hired an independent third-party consultant to provide an analysis of the Advisor’s allocation methodologies;
(e)considered that the John Hancock insurance companies that are affiliates of the Advisor, as shareholders of the Trust directly or through their separate accounts, receive certain tax credits or deductions relating to foreign taxes paid and dividends received by certain Funds of the Trust and noted that these tax benefits, which are not available to participants in qualified retirement plans under applicable income tax law, are reflected in the profitability analysis reviewed by the Board;
(f)considered that the Advisor also provides administrative services to the Funds on a cost basis pursuant to an administrative services agreement;
(g)noted that MIM (US) is an affiliate of the Advisor;
(h)noted that the Advisor also derives reputational and other indirect benefits from providing advisory services to the Funds;
(i)noted that the subadvisory fee is paid by the Advisor and are negotiated at arm’s length with respect to Marathon;
(j)noted that the Advisor also pays MIM (US) a license fee in connection with each of the Corporate Bond ETF, Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF and Preferred Income ETF use of their Underlying Index;
(k)considered the Advisor’s ongoing costs and expenditures necessary to improve services, meet new regulatory and compliance requirements, and adapt to other challenges impacting the fund industry; and
(l)considered that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to each Fund and the risks that it assumes as Advisor, including entrepreneurial, operational, reputational, litigation and regulatory risk.
Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the level of profitability, if any, of the Advisor and its affiliates (including the Subadvisor) from their relationship with each Fund was reasonable and not excessive.
Economies of scale. In considering the extent to which a Fund may realize any economies of scale and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, the Board:
(a)considered that the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee for certain funds of the John Hancock Fund Complex, including the Funds (the participating portfolios) or otherwise reimburse the expenses of the participating portfolios (the reimbursement). This waiver is based upon aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated daily and allocated among all the participating portfolios in proportion to the daily net assets of each Fund;
(b)the Board also took into account management’s discussion of each Fund’s advisory fee structure; and
(c)considered the effect of the Funds’ growth in size on their performance and fees. The Board also noted that if the Funds’ assets increase over time, the Funds may realize other economies of scale.
Approval of Subadvisory Agreements
In making its determination with respect to approval of the Subadvisory Agreements, the Board reviewed:
(1)information relating to the Subadvisor’s businesses, including current subadvisory services to the Trust (and other funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex);
(2)the historical and current performance of each Fund and comparative performance information relating to the Fund’s benchmark and comparable funds;
(3)the subadvisory fee for each Fund, including the approved breakpoints for each of the Funds and to the extent available, comparable fee information prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data; and
(4)information relating to the nature and scope of any material relationships and their significance to the Trust’s Advisor and the unafilliated Subadvisor.
Nature, extent, and quality of services. With respect to the services provided by the Subadvisors with respect to each Fund, the Board received information provided to the Board by the Subadvisors, including the Subadvisors’ Form ADVs, as well as took into account information presented throughout the past year. The Board considered the Subadvisors’ current level of staffing and its overall resources, as well as received information relating to the Subadvisors’ compensation programs. The Board reviewed the Subadvisors’ history and investment experience, as well as information regarding the qualifications, background, and responsibilities of the Subadvisors’ investment and compliance personnel who provide services to the Funds. The Board also considered, among other things, the Subadvisors’ compliance programs and any disciplinary history. The Board also considered the Subadvisors’ risk assessment and monitoring processes. The Board reviewed the Subadvisors’ regulatory history, including whether it was involved in any regulatory actions or investigations as well as material litigation, and any settlements and amelioratory actions undertaken, as appropriate. The Board noted that the Advisor conducts regular, periodic reviews of the Subadvisors and their operations, including regarding investment processes and organizational and staffing matters. The Board also noted that the Trust’s CCO and his staff conduct regular, periodic compliance reviews with the Subadvisors and present reports to the Independent Trustees regarding the same, which includes evaluating the regulatory compliance systems of the Subadvisor and procedures reasonably designed to assure compliance with the federal securities laws. The Board also took into account the financial condition of the Subadvisors.
81 JOHN HANCOCK ACTIVE FIXED INCOME ETFS |   

Table of Contents
The Board considered each Subadvisor’s investment process and philosophy. The Board took into account that each Subadvisor’s responsibilities include the development and maintenance of an investment program for each Fund that is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, the selection of investment securities and the placement of orders for the purchase and sale of such securities, as well as the implementation of compliance controls related to performance of these services. The Board also received information with respect to the Subadvisor’s brokerage policies and practices, including with respect to best execution and soft dollars.
Subadvisor compensation. In considering the cost of services to be provided by each Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with each Fund, the Board noted that the fees under the Subadvisory Agreement are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds. The Board also relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate the Subadvisory Agreement with Marathon and the fees thereunder at arm’s length. As a result, the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by Marathon from its relationship with the Trust were not a material factor in the Board’s consideration of the Subadvisory Agreement with Marathon.
The Board also received information regarding the nature and scope (including their significance to the Advisor and its affiliates and to unaffiliated Subadvisors) of any material relationships with respect to the unaffiliated Subadvisors, which include arrangements in which unaffiliated Subadvisors or their affiliates provide advisory, distribution or management services in connection with financial products sponsored by the Trust’s Advisor or its affiliates, and may include shares of the Trust, other registered investment companies, a 529 education savings plan, managed separate accounts and exempt group annuity contracts sold to qualified plans. The Board also received information and took into account any other potential conflicts of interests the Advisor might have in connection with the Subadvisory Agreements.
In addition, the Board considered other potential indirect benefits that the Subadvisors and their affiliates may receive from the Subadvisor’s relationship with the Funds, such as the opportunity to provide advisory services to additional funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex and reputational benefits.
Subadvisory fees. The Board considered that the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor and that, in turn, the Advisor pays subadvisory fees to the Subadvisors. As noted above, the Board also considered each Fund’s subadvisory fees as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Funds as included in the report prepared by the independent third-party provider of fund data, to the extent available. The Board noted that the limited size of the Lipper peer groups were not sufficient for comparative purposes. The Board also took into account the subadvisory fees paid by the Advisor to the Subadvisors with respect to the Funds to fees charged by each Fund’s Subadvisor to manage other subadvised portfolios and portfolios not subject to regulation under the 1940 Act, as applicable.
Subadvisor performance. As noted above, the Board considered each Fund’s performance as compared to the Fund’s respective peer group median and the benchmark index and noted that the Board reviews information about the Fund’s performance results at its regularly scheduled meetings. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style, and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadvisors. The Board was mindful of the Advisor’s focus on each Subadvisor’s performance. The Board also noted each Subadvisor’s long-term performance record for similar accounts, as applicable.
The Board’s decision to approve the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund was based on a number of determinations, including the following:
(1)the Subadvisor has extensive experience and demonstrated skills as a manager;
(2)the performance of the Funds has generally been in line with or generally outperformed the historical performance of comparable funds, based on the median percentile, and/or each Fund’s respective benchmark as noted in Appendix A;
(3)the subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to the level and quality of services being provided under the Subadvisory Agreement; and
(4)that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds and the Board has approved the implementation of breakpoints to each of the Fund’s subadvisory fee schedule.
Additional information relating to each Fund’s fees and expenses and performance that the Board considered in approving the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement for a particular Fund is set forth in Appendix A.
***
Based on the Board’s evaluation of all factors that the Board deemed to be material, including those factors described above, and assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that renewal of the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund would be in the best interest of each of the respective Funds and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, and the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund for an additional one-year period.

Note 2Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant. The funds qualify as investment companies under Topic 946 of Accounting Standards Codification of US GAAP.
Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time. In case of emergency or other disruption resulting in the NYSE not opening for trading or the NYSE closing at a time other than the regularly scheduled close, the net asset value (NAV) may be determined as of the regularly scheduled close of the NYSE pursuant to the Valuation Policies and Procedures of the Advisor, John Hancock Investment Management LLC, the funds’ valuation designee.
In order to value the securities, the funds use the following valuation techniques: Equity securities, including exchange-traded and closed-end funds, are typically valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or principal market where the security trades. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Investments by the funds in open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Trust (JHCT), are valued at their respective NAVs each business day. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor valued at London close.
In certain instances, the Pricing Committee of the Advisor may determine to value equity securities using prices obtained from another exchange or market if trading on the exchange or market on which prices are typically obtained did not open for trading as scheduled, or if trading closed earlier than scheduled, and trading occurred as normal on another exchange or market.
Other portfolio securities and assets, for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. Trading in foreign securities may be completed before the scheduled daily close of trading on the NYSE. Significant events at the issuer or market level may affect the values of securities between the time when the valuation of the securities is generally determined and the close of the NYSE. If a significant event occurs, these securities may be fair valued, as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee, following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted by the Board of Trustees. The Advisor may use fair value adjustment factors provided by an independent pricing vendor to value certain foreign securities in order to adjust for events that may occur between the close of foreign exchanges or markets and the close of the NYSE.
The funds use a three tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, including registered investment companies. Level 2 includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the Advisor’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques and related inputs may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.
As of October 31, 2025, all investments are categorized as Level 1 under the hierarchy described above.
Real estate investment trusts. The funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs). Distributions from REITs may be recorded as income and subsequently characterized by the REIT at the end of their fiscal year as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. As a result, the funds will estimate the components of distributions from these securities. Such estimates are revised when the actual components of the distributions are known.

Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily NAV calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is recorded on ex-date, except for dividends of certain foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. In those cases, dividend income, net of withholding taxes, is recorded when the fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.
Securities lending. The funds may lend their securities to earn additional income. The funds receive collateral from the borrower in an amount not less than the market value of the loaned securities. The funds may invest their cash collateral in JHCT, an affiliate of the funds, which has a floating NAV and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment company. JHCT is a government money market fund and invests in U.S. Government securities and/or repurchase agreements. Each fund will receive the benefit of any gains and bear any losses generated by JHCT with respect to the cash collateral.
The funds have the right to recall loaned securities on demand. If a borrower fails to return loaned securities when due, then the lending agent is responsible and indemnifies the funds for the lent securities. The lending agent uses the collateral received from the borrower to purchase replacement securities of the same issue, type, class and series of the loaned securities. If the value of the collateral is less than the purchase cost of replacement securities, the lending agent is responsible for satisfying the shortfall but only to the extent that the shortfall is not due to any decrease in the value of JHCT.
Although the risk of loss on securities lent is mitigated by receiving collateral from the borrower and through lending agent indemnification, the funds could experience a delay in recovering securities or could experience a lower than expected return if the borrower fails to return the securities on a timely basis. During the existence of the loan, the funds will receive from the borrower amounts equivalent to any dividends, interest or other distributions on the loaned securities, as well as interest on such amounts. The funds receive compensation for lending their securities by retaining a portion of the return on the investment of the collateral and compensation from fees earned from borrowers of the securities. Securities lending income received by the funds is net of fees retained by the securities lending agent. Net income received from JHCT is a component of securities lending income as recorded on the Statements of operations.
In addition, non-cash collateral in the form of U.S. Treasuries was pledged, as indicated below. This non-cash collateral cannot be sold or repledged by the funds, and accordingly, is not reflected in the funds’ net assets.
Fund Market value of securities on loan Cash collateral received Non-cash collateral
Disciplined Value International Select ETF   $456,779   —   $480,657
International High Dividend ETF   244,684   —   258,016
U.S. High Dividend ETF   56,978   —   58,135
Foreign investing. Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the value of securities is reflected as a component of the realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Foreign investments are subject to a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.
Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors.
Foreign taxes. The funds may be subject to withholding tax on income, capital gains or repatriations imposed by certain countries, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes are accrued based upon the funds’ understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Taxes are accrued based on gains realized by the funds as a result of certain foreign security sales. In certain circumstances, estimated taxes are accrued based on unrealized appreciation of such securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign withholding taxes.
Overdraft. The funds may have the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the funds’ custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the funds to make properly authorized payments. The funds are obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Line of credit. The funds and other affiliated funds have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. as the administrative agent that enables them to participate in a $1 billion unsecured committed line of credit, which is in effect through July 13, 2026 unless extended or renewed. Excluding commitments designated for certain funds and subject to the needs of all other affiliated funds, a fund can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $750 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement.
A commitment fee payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of each line of credit, is charged to each participating fund based on an asset-based allocation and is reflected in Other expenses on the Statements of operations. For the six months ended October 31, 2025, the funds had no borrowings under the line of credit.
Commitment fees for the six months ended October 31, 2025 were as follows:

Expenses. Within the John Hancock group of funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and each fund’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known. The Disciplined Value Select ETF incurred offering costs of $74,950 which are amortized over the fund’s first year of operations. During the period ended October 31, 2025, $17,621 of offering costs were expensed and are included in Offering costs within the Statements of Operations. At October 31, 2025, $57,329 of unamortized offering costs are included in Deferred offering cost within the Statements of assets and liabilities.
Federal income taxes. Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
For federal income tax purposes, as of April 30, 2025, certain funds have short-term and long-term capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains. These carryforwards do not expire. The following table details the capital loss carryforwards available as of April 30, 2025:
  No Expiration Date
Fund Short Term Long Term
Disciplined Value International Select ETF   $441,110   $213,537
Fundamental All Cap Core ETF   901  
International High Dividend ETF   331,158   181,243
U.S. High Dividend ETF   404,293   160,909
Due to certain Internal Revenue Code rules, utilization of the capital loss carryforwards may be limited in future years.
As of April 30, 2025, the funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The funds’ federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
For federal income tax purposes, the costs of investments owned on October 31, 2025, including short-term investments, were as follows:

U.S. High Dividend ETF   6,790,682   2,279,177   (234,505)   2,044,672
Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. International High Dividend ETF and U.S. High Dividend ETF generally declare and pay dividends from net investment income quarterly. All other funds generally declare and pay dividends from net investment income annually. All funds generally declare and pay capital gain distributions, if any, annually.
Such distributions, on a tax basis, if any, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in the funds’ financial statements as a return of capital. The final determination of tax characteristics of the funds’ distribution will occur at the end of the year and will subsequently be reported to shareholders.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences at fiscal year end. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to investments in passive foreign investment companies, partnerships, redemptions-in-kind and wash sale loss deferrals.
Note 3Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, including the funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 4Fees and transactions with affiliates

Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the funds reimburse the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, compliance, accounting and recordkeeping services to the funds, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These accounting and legal services fees incurred, for the six months ended October 31, 2025, amounted to an annual rate of 0.02% of the funds’ average daily net assets.
Trustee expenses. The funds compensate each Trustee who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates. The costs of paying Trustee compensation and expenses are allocated to each fund based on their net assets relative to other funds within the John Hancock group of funds complex.
Note 5Capital share transactions
The funds will issue and redeem shares only in a large number of specified shares, each called a “creation unit,” or multiples thereof. The funds issue and redeem shares at NAV in creation units of 25,000, 25,000, 5,000, 10,000 and 10,000 shares for Disciplined Value International Select ETF, Disciplined Value Select ETF, Fundamental All Cap Core ETF, International High Dividend ETF, and U.S. High Dividend ETF, respectively.
Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the funds. Such transactions generally take place when an authorized participant deposits into a fund a designated portfolio of securities and/or cash in exchange for a specified number of creation units. Similarly, shares can be redeemed only in creation units, generally for a designated portfolio of securities and/or cash. For purposes of US GAAP, in-kind redemption transactions are treated as a sale of securities and any resulting gains and losses are recognized based on the market value of the securities on the date of the transfer. Authorized participants pay a transaction fee to the custodian when purchasing and redeeming creation units of the funds. The transaction fee is used to defray the costs associated with the issuance and redemption of creation units. Individual shares of the funds may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Secondary market transactions may be subject to brokerage commissions. Shares of the funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc., trade at market prices rather than NAV, and may trade at a price greater than or less than NAV.
Authorized participants transacting in creation or redemption of units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for the costs associated with purchasing or selling the applicable securities. Fixed transaction fees payable to the custodian may also be incurred on creation and redemption transactions. For the six months ended October 31, 2025, such variable and/or fixed transaction fees were approximately $311, $21, $300 and $100 for Disciplined Value International Select ETF, Fundamental All Cap Core ETF, International High Dividend ETF and International High Dividend ETF, respectively. These charges are included in shares issued or repurchased on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Affiliates of Disciplined Value International Select ETF, Disciplined Value Select ETF, Fundamental All Cap Core ETF, International High Dividend ETF, and U.S. High Dividend ETF owned 42%, 21%, 67%, 60%, and 86%, respectively, of shares of the fund on October 31, 2025. Such concentration of shareholders’ capital could have a material effect on a fund if such shareholders redeem from the fund.
Note 6Purchase and sale of securities
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term investments and in-kind transactions, amounted to for the six months ended October 31, 2025. In addition, purchases and sales of in-kind transactions are aggregated below for the six months ended October 31, 2025:
  Purchases Sales
Fund In-kind transactions Non in-kind transactions In-kind transactions Non in-kind transactions
Disciplined Value International Select ETF   $6,117,447   $7,837,412   $4,104,982   $2,967,522
Disciplined Value Select ETF   18,284,863   12,206,558   6,713,906
Fundamental All Cap Core ETF   688,114   1,424,880   1,102,885   1,468,534

U.S. High Dividend ETF   1,536,774   1,449,248   1,047,352   1,930,811
Note 7Industry or sector risk
The funds may invest a large percentage of their assets in one or more particular industries or sectors of the economy. If a large percentage of a fund’s assets are economically tied to a single or small number of industries or sectors of the economy, the fund will be less diversified than a more broadly diversified fund, and it may cause the fund to underperform if that industry or sector underperforms. In addition, focusing on a particular industry or sector may make the fund’s NAV more volatile. Further, a fund that invests in particular industries or sectors is particularly susceptible to the impact of market, economic, regulatory and other factors affecting those industries or sectors. Financial services companies can be hurt by economic declines, changes in interest rates, and regulatory and market impacts. Information technology companies can be significantly affected by rapid obsolescence, short product cycles, competition from new market entrants, and heightened cybersecurity risk, among other factors.
Note 8Investment in affiliated underlying funds
The funds may invest in affiliated underlying funds that are managed by the Advisor and its affiliates. Information regarding the funds’ fiscal year to date purchases and sales of the affiliated underlying funds as well as income and capital gains earned by the funds, if any, is as follows:

Note 9Segment reporting
The management committee of the Advisor acts as the funds’ chief operating decision maker (the CODM), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. Each fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors and assesses the operating results of the fund as a whole, and the fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is managed in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the portfolio management team of the fund’s subadvisor. Segment assets are reflected in the Statements of assets and liabilities as “Total assets”, which consists primarily of total investments at value. The financial information, including the measurement of profit and loss and significant expenses, provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented within the Statements of operations, which includes “Increase (decrease) in net assets from operations”, Statements of changes in net assets, which includes “Increase (decrease) in net assets from fund share transactions”, and Financial highlights, which includes total return and income and expense ratios.

EVALUATION OF ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

This section describes the evaluation by the Board of Trustees (the Board) of John Hancock Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the Trust) of the Advisory Agreement (the Advisory Agreement) with John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) and the Subadvisory Agreement with Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC with respect to Fundamental All Cap Core ETF, International High Dividend ETF, and U.S. High Dividend ETF and the Subadvisory Agreement with Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc. ("Boston Partners," together with MIM (US), the Subadvisors) with respect to Disciplined Value International Select ETF (the Funds). The Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the Agreements. Prior to the June 23-26, 2025 meeting at which the Agreements were approved, the Board also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Agreements at a meeting held on May 27-May 29, 2025. The Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) (the Independent Trustees) also met separately to evaluate and discuss the information presented, including with counsel to the Independent Trustees and a third-party consulting firm.
Approval of Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements
At a meeting held on June 23-26, 2025, the Board, including the Trustees who are not parties to any Agreement or considered to be interested persons of the Trust under the 1940 Act, reapproved for an annual period the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisor and the Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to each of the Funds identified in Appendix A.
In considering the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Board received in advance of the meetings a variety of materials relating to each Fund, the Advisor and the Subadvisor, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for peer groups of similar funds prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data; performance information for the Funds’ benchmark indices; and, with respect to the Subadvisor, comparative performance information for comparably managed accounts, as applicable; and other information provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor under their respective Agreements, as well as information regarding the Advisor’s revenues and costs of providing services to the Funds and any compensation paid to affiliates of the Advisor. At the meetings at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement is considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, comparability of fees and total expenses, and profitability. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Advisor and the Subadvisor is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board also took into account discussions with management and information provided to the Board (including its various committees) at prior meetings with respect to the services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor to the Funds, including quarterly performance reports prepared by management containing reviews of investment results and prior presentations from the Subadvisor with respect to the Funds it manages. The information received and considered by the Board in connection with the May and June meetings and throughout the year was both written and oral. The Board noted the affiliation of the Subadvisor with the Advisor, noting any potential conflicts of interest. The Board also considered the nature, quality, and extent of the non-advisory services, if any, to be provided to the Funds by the Advisor and/or its affiliates, including administrative services. The Board considered the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement separately in the course of its review. In doing so, the Board noted the respective roles of the Advisor and Subadvisor in providing services to the Funds. In addition, although the Board approved the renewal of the Agreements for all the Funds at the June meeting, the Board considered each Fund separately.
Throughout the process, the Board asked questions of and requested additional information from management. The Board is assisted by counsel for the Trust and the Independent Trustees are also separately assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the process. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements and discussed the proposed continuation of the Agreements in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
Approval of Advisory Agreement
In approving the Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered a variety of factors, including those discussed below. The Board also considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy, the securities markets and the industry) and did not treat any single factor as determinative, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to different factors. The Board’s conclusions may be based in part on its consideration of the advisory and subadvisory arrangements in prior years and on the Board’s ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year.
Nature, extent and quality of services. Among the information received by the Board from the Advisor relating to the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the Funds, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, descriptions of its organizational and management structure, and information regarding the Advisor’s compliance and regulatory history, including its Form ADV. The Board also noted that on a regular basis it receives and reviews information from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) regarding the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor, and of the undertakings required of the Advisor in connection with those services, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the fund’s compliance programs, risk management programs, liquidity risk management programs, derivatives risk management programs, and cybersecurity programs, had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other developments. The Board considered that the Advisor is responsible for the management of the day-to-day operations of the Funds, including, but not limited to, general supervision of and coordination of the services provided by the Subadvisor, and is also responsible for monitoring and reviewing the activities of the Subadvisor and third-party service providers, including the Funds’ distributor. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Funds including entrepreneurial risk in sponsoring new Funds and ongoing risks including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks with respect to all Funds.
In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, the Trustees also took into account their knowledge of the Advisor’s management and the quality of the performance of the Advisor’s duties, through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year and through each Trustee’s experience as a Trustee of the Trust and of the other trusts in the John Hancock group of funds complex (the John Hancock Fund Complex).

Table of Contents
In the course of their deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered, among other things:
(a)the skills and competency with which the Advisor has in the past managed the Trust’s affairs and its subadvisory relationships, the Advisor’s oversight and monitoring of the Subadvisor’s investment performance and compliance programs, such as the Subadvisor’s compliance with fund policies and objectives, review of brokerage matters, including with respect to trade allocation and best execution, and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to performance issues;
(b)the background, qualifications and skills of the Advisor’s personnel;
(c)the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures and its responsiveness to regulatory changes and fund industry developments;
(d)the Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Funds, as well as the Advisor’s oversight of any securities lending activity, its monitoring of class action litigation and collection of class action settlements on behalf of the Funds, and bringing loss recovery actions on behalf of the Funds;
(e)the financial condition of the Advisor and whether it has the financial wherewithal to provide a high level and quality of services to the Funds;
(f)the Advisor’s initiatives intended to improve various aspects of the Trust’s operations and investor experience with the Funds; and
(g)the Advisor’s reputation and experience in serving as an investment advisor to the Trust and the benefit to shareholders of investing in funds that are part of a family of funds offering a variety of investments.
The Board concluded that the Advisor may reasonably be expected to continue to provide a high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds.
Investment performance. In considering each Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Funds’ performance results. In connection with the consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board:
(a)reviewed information prepared by management regarding the Funds’ performance;
(b)considered the comparative performance of each Fund’s respective benchmark index;
(c)considered the performance of comparable funds, if any, as included in the report prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data; and
(d)took into account the Advisor’s analysis of each Fund’s performance and its plans and recommendations regarding the Trust’s subadvisory arrangements generally and with respect to particular Funds.
The Board noted that while it found the data provided by the independent third-party generally useful it recognized its limitations, including in particular that the data may vary depending on the end date selected and the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection of the peer group. The Board reviewed Fund performance against each Fund’s respective benchmark and concluded that the performance of the Funds has generally been in line with or generally outperformed the historical performance of comparable funds based on the median percentile and/or each Fund’s respective benchmark as noted in Appendix A.
Fees and expenses. The Board reviewed comparative information prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data, including, among other data, each Fund’s contractual and net management fees (and subadvisory fees, to the extent available) and total expenses as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management and advisory and subadvisory services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. The Board considered each Fund’s ranking within a smaller group of peer funds chosen by the independent third-party provider, as well as the Fund’s ranking within broader groups of funds. In comparing each Fund’s contractual and net management fees to that of comparable funds, the Board noted that such fees include both advisory and administrative costs.
The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Funds’ expenses, including previous actions taken to reduce management fees for certain of the Funds. The Board also took into account management’s discussion with respect to the overall management fee and the fees of the Subadvisor, including the amount of the advisory fee retained by the Advisor after payment of the subadvisory fee, in each case in light of the services rendered for those amounts and the risks undertaken by the Advisor. The Board also noted that the Advisor pays the subadvisory fees of the Funds. The Board also took into account that management had agreed to implement an overall fee waiver across the complex, including each of the Funds, which is discussed further below. The Board also noted management’s discussion of the Funds’ expenses, as well as any actions taken over the past several years to reduce the Funds’ operating expenses. The Board also noted that, in addition, the Advisor is currently waiving fees and/or reimbursing expenses with respect to each Fund. The Board also took into account that management has approved the implementation of breakpoints in each Fund’s subadvisory fee schedule. The Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor concerning the investment advisory fees charged by the Advisor or one of its advisory affiliates to other clients (including other funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex) having similar investment mandates, if any. The Board considered any differences between the Advisor’s and Subadvisor’s services to a Fund and the services they provide to other comparable clients or funds. The Board concluded that the advisory fee paid with respect to each of the Funds is reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement.
Profitability/Fall out benefits. In considering the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the Advisor’s relationship with the Trust, the Board:
(a)reviewed financial information of the Advisor;
(b)reviewed and considered information presented by the Advisor regarding the net profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates with respect to each Fund;
(c)received and reviewed profitability information with respect to the John Hancock Fund Complex as a whole and with respect to each Fund;
27 JOHN HANCOCK ACTIVE EQUITY ETFS |   

Table of Contents
(d)received information with respect to the Advisor’s allocation methodologies used in preparing the profitability data and considered that the Advisor hired an independent third-party consultant to provide an analysis of the Advisor’s allocation methodologies;
(e)considered that the John Hancock insurance companies that are affiliates of the Advisor, as shareholders of the Trust directly or through their separate accounts, receive certain tax credits or deductions relating to foreign taxes paid and dividends received by certain Funds of the Trust and noted that these tax benefits, which are not available to participants in qualified retirement plans under applicable income tax law, are reflected in the profitability analysis reviewed by the Board;
(f)considered that the Advisor also provides administrative services to the Funds on a cost basis pursuant to an administrative services agreement;
(g)noted that the fund’s Subadvisor is an affiliate of the Advisor;
(h)noted that the Advisor also derives reputational and other indirect benefits from providing advisory services to the Funds;
(i)noted that the subadvisory fee is paid by the Advisor;
(j)noted that the Advisor also pays the Subadvisor a license fee in connection with each Fund’s use of its Underlying Index;
(k)considered the Advisor’s ongoing costs and expenditures necessary to improve services, meet new regulatory and compliance requirements, and adapt to other challenges impacting the fund industry; and
(l)considered that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to each Fund and the risks that it assumes as Advisor, including entrepreneurial, operational, reputational, litigation and regulatory risk.
Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the level of profitability, if any, of the Advisor and its affiliates (including the Subadvisor) from their relationship with each Fund was reasonable and not excessive.
Economies of scale. In considering the extent to which a Fund may realize any economies of scale and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, the Board:
(a)considered that the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee for certain funds of the John Hancock Fund Complex, including the Funds (the participating portfolios) or otherwise reimburse the expenses of the participating portfolios (the reimbursement). This waiver is based upon aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated daily and allocated among all the participating portfolios in proportion to the daily net assets of each Fund;
(b)the Board also took into account management’s discussion of each Fund’s advisory fee structure; and
(c)considered the effect of the Funds’ growth in size on their performance and fees. The Board also noted that if the Funds’ assets increase over time, the Funds may realize other economies of scale.
Approval of Subadvisory Agreement
In making its determination with respect to approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board reviewed:
(1)information relating to the Subadvisor’s business, including current subadvisory services to the Trust (and other funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex);
(2)the historical and current performance of each Fund and comparative performance information relating to the Fund’s benchmark and comparable funds; and
(3)the subadvisory fee for each Fund, including the approved breakpoints for each of the Funds and to the extent available, comparable fee information prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data.
Nature, extent, and quality of services. With respect to the services provided by the Subadvisor with respect to each Fund, the Board received information provided to the Board by the Subadvisor, including the Subadvisor’s Form ADV, as well as took into account information presented throughout the past year. The Board considered the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources, as well as received information relating to the Subadvisor’s compensation program. The Board reviewed the Subadvisor’s history and investment experience, as well as information regarding the qualifications, background, and responsibilities of the Subadvisor’s investment and compliance personnel who provide services to the Funds. The Board also considered, among other things, the Subadvisor’s compliance program and any disciplinary history. The Board also considered the Subadvisor’s risk assessment and monitoring process. The Board reviewed the Subadvisor’s regulatory history, including whether it was involved in any regulatory actions or investigations as well as material litigation, and any settlements and amelioratory actions undertaken, as appropriate. The Board noted that the Advisor conducts regular, periodic reviews of the Subadvisor and its operations, including regarding investment processes and organizational and staffing matters. The Board also noted that the Trust’s CCO and his staff conduct regular, periodic compliance reviews with the Subadvisor and present reports to the Independent Trustees regarding the same, which includes evaluating the regulatory compliance systems of the Subadvisor and procedures reasonably designed to assure compliance with the federal securities laws. The Board also took into account the financial condition of the Subadvisor.
The Board considered the Subadvisor’s investment process and philosophy. The Board took into account that the Subadvisor’s responsibilities include the development and maintenance of an investment program for each Fund that is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, the selection of investment securities and the placement of orders for the purchase and sale of such securities, as well as the implementation of compliance controls related to performance of these services. The Board also received information with respect to the Subadvisor’s brokerage policies and practices, including with respect to best execution and soft dollars.
Subadvisor compensation. In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with each Fund, the Board noted that the fees under the Subadvisory Agreement are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds.
   | JOHN HANCOCK ACTIVE EQUITY ETFS 28

Table of Contents
The Board also received information and took into account any other potential conflicts of interest the Advisor might have in connection with the Subadvisory Agreement.
In addition, the Board considered other potential indirect benefits that the Subadvisor and its affiliates may receive from the Subadvisor’s relationship with the Funds, such as the opportunity to provide advisory services to additional funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex and reputational benefits.
Subadvisory fees. The Board considered that the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor and that, in turn, the Advisor pays subadvisory fees to the Subadvisor. As noted above, the Board also considered each Fund’s subadvisory fees as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Funds as included in the report prepared by the independent third-party provider of fund data, to the extent available. The Board noted that the limited size of the Lipper peer groups were not sufficient for comparative purposes. The Board also took into account the subadvisory fees paid by the Advisor to the Subadvisor with respect to the Funds to fees charged by each Fund’s Subadvisor to manage other subadvised portfolios and portfolios not subject to regulation under the 1940 Act, as applicable.
Subadvisor performance. As noted above, the Board considered each Fund’s performance as compared to the Fund’s respective peer group median and the benchmark index and noted that the Board reviews information about the Fund’s performance results at its regularly scheduled meetings. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style, and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadvisor. The Board was mindful of the Advisor’s focus on the Subadvisor’s performance. The Board also noted the Subadvisor’s long-term performance record for similar accounts, as applicable.
The Board’s decision to approve the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund was based on a number of determinations, including the following:
(1)the Subadvisor has extensive experience and demonstrated skills as a manager;
(2)the performance of the Funds have generally been in line with or generally outperformed the historical performance of comparable funds, based on the median percentile, and/or each Fund’s respective benchmark as noted in Appendix A;
(3)the subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to the level and quality of services being provided under the Subadvisory Agreement; and
(4)that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds and the Board has approved the implementation of breakpoints to each of the Fund’s subadvisory fee schedule.
Additional information relating to each Fund’s fees and expenses and performance that the Board considered in approving the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement for a particular Fund is set forth in Appendix A.
***
Based on the Board’s evaluation of all factors that the Board deemed to be material, including those factors described above, and assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that renewal of the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund would be in the best interest of each of the respective Funds and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, and the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund for an additional one-year period.

EVALUATION OF ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Approval of Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements
At meetings held on June 23-26, 2025, the Board of Trustees (the Board) of John Hancock Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the Trust), including the Trustees who are not parties to any Agreement or considered to be interested persons of the Trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) (the Independent Trustees), reviewed and approved the establishment of John Hancock Disciplined Value Select ETF (the New Fund). The Independent Trustees also met separately to evaluate and discuss the information presented, including with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees.
At the June 23-26, 2025 meeting, the Board considered and approved with respect to the New Fund:
(a)an amendment to the advisory agreement between the Trust and John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) (the Advisory Agreement); and
(b)the subadvisory agreement between the Advisor and Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc. (the Subadvisor) (the Subadvisory Agreement).
In considering the amendments to the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the New Fund, the Board received in advance of the meetings a variety of materials relating to the New Fund, the Advisor and the Subadvisor, including comparative fee and expense information for a group of comparable exchange-traded funds, and other information regarding the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor under their respective Agreements, as well as information regarding the Advisor’s anticipated revenues and costs of providing services in connection with its proposed relationship to the New Fund and any compensation paid to affiliates of the Advisor. The Board also took into account discussions with management and information provided to the Board (including its various committees) at prior meetings with respect to the services provided by the Advisor to other John Hancock Funds, including other exchange-traded funds (the Funds), including quarterly performance reports prepared by management containing reviews of investment results. The information received and considered by the Board in connection with the June meetings and throughout the year (with respect to other Funds) was both written and oral. The Board also considered the nature, quality, and extent of the non-advisory services, if any, to be provided to the New Fund by the Advisor and or its affiliates, including administrative services. The Board also took into account information with respect to the New Fund presented at its March 24-27, 2025 meeting. The Board considered the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement separately in the course of its review. In doing so, the Board noted the respective roles of the Advisor and Subadvisor in providing services to the New Fund.
Throughout the process, the Board asked questions of and were afforded the opportunity to request additional information from management. The Board is assisted by counsel for the Trust and the Independent Trustees are also separately assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the process. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement and discussed the proposed Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
Approval of Advisory Agreement
In approving the Advisory Agreement with respect to the New Fund, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered a variety of factors, including those discussed below. The Board also considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy, the securities markets and the industry) and did not treat any single factor as determinative, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to different factors.
The Board’s conclusions may have been based in part on relevant background information obtained in connection with its consideration of the advisory and subadvisory arrangements for other Funds in prior years.
Nature, extent, and quality of services. Among the information received by the Board from the Advisor relating to the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the New Fund, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, descriptions of its organizational and management structure, and information regarding the Advisor’s compliance and regulatory history, including its Form ADV. The Board also noted that on a regular basis it receives and reviews information from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) regarding the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board considered the investment strategy proposed for the New Fund. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor, and of the undertakings required of the Advisor in connection with those services, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the New Fund’s compliance programs, risk management programs, liquidity risk management programs and cybersecurity programs, had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other developments. The Board considered that the Advisor would be responsible for the management of the day-to-day operations of the New Fund, including, but not limited to, general supervision and coordination of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor, and also would be responsible for monitoring and reviewing the activities of the Subadvisor and third-party service providers, including the New Fund’s distributor. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Advisor in connection with the services to be provided to the New Fund, including entrepreneurial risk in sponsoring new funds and ongoing risks including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks with respect to all funds.
In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor, the Trustees also took into account their knowledge of the Advisor’s management of other Funds and the quality of the performance of the Advisor’s duties with respect to other Funds, through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year and through each Trustee’s experience as a Trustee of the Trust and of the other trusts in the John Hancock group of funds complex (the John Hancock Fund Complex).

Table of Contents
In the course of their deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered, among other things:
(a)the skills and competency with which the Advisor has in the past managed the Trust’s affairs and its subadvisory relationships, including with the Subadvisor, the Advisor’s oversight and monitoring of the Subadvisor’s’ investment performance and compliance programs, such as the Subadvisor’s compliance with fund policies and objectives; review of brokerage matters, including with respect to trade allocation and best execution; and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to performance issues;
(b)the background, qualifications, and skills of the Advisor’s personnel;
(c)the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures and its responsiveness to regulatory changes and fund industry developments;
(d)the Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the New Fund, as well as the Advisor’s oversight of any securities lending activity, its monitoring of class action litigation and collection of class action settlements on behalf of the New Fund, and bringing loss recovery actions on behalf of the New Fund;
(e)the financial condition of the Advisor and whether it has the financial wherewithal to provide a high level and quality of services to the New Fund;
(f)the Advisor’s initiatives intended to improve various aspects of the Trust’s operations and investor experience with the New Fund; and
(g)the Advisor’s reputation and experience in serving as an investment advisor to the Trust, and the benefit to shareholders of investing in funds that are part of a family of funds offering a variety of investments.
The Board concluded that the Advisor may reasonably be expected to provide a high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement with respect to the New Fund.
Investment performance. In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the New Fund’s proposed investment strategy and processes, as well as the experience of the portfolio management team at the Subadvisor and composite performance information provided by the Subadvisor relevant to the proposed investment strategy.  The Board also noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the performance of other John Hancock Funds managed by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. 
Fees and expenses. The Board reviewed comparative information including, among other data, the New Fund’s anticipated management fees and net total expenses as compared to similarly situated exchange-traded funds deemed to be comparable to the New Fund in light of the nature, extent, and quality of the investment management and advisory and subadvisory services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the New Fund’s anticipated expenses. The Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor concerning investment advisory fees charged to other clients (including other funds in the complex) having similar investment mandates, if any. The Board considered any differences between the Advisor’s and Subadvisor’s services to the New Fund and the services they provide to other such comparable clients or funds.
The Board also took into account management’s discussion with respect to the proposed management fee and the fees of the Subadvisor, including the amount of the advisory fee to be retained by the Advisor after payment of the subadvisory fee, in each case in light of the services rendered for those amounts and the risks undertaken by the Advisor. The Board also noted that the Advisor, and not the New Fund, would be responsible for paying the subadvisory fees and that such fees were negotiated at arm’s length. The Board also took into account that management has agreed to implement an overall fee waiver across a number of funds in the complex, including the New Fund, which is discussed further below.
The Board concluded that the advisory fees to be paid by the New Fund are reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services expected to be provided to the New Fund under the Advisory Agreement.
Profitability/Fall out benefits. In considering the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the Advisor’s relationship with the New Fund, the Board:
(a)reviewed financial information of the Advisor;
(b)noted that because the New Fund had not yet commenced operations, no actual revenue, cost or profitability data was available, although the Board received information from the Advisor on its projected profitability with respect to the New Fund;
(c)received and reviewed profitability information with respect to the John Hancock Fund Complex as a whole;
(d)received information with respect to the Advisor’s allocation methodologies used in preparing the profitability data;
(e)considered that the John Hancock insurance companies that are affiliates of the Advisor, as shareholders of the Trust directly or through their separate accounts, receive certain tax credits or deductions relating to foreign taxes paid and dividends received by certain funds of the Trust and noted that these tax benefits, which are not available to participants in qualified retirement plans under applicable income tax law, are reflected in the profitability information reviewed by the Board;
(f)considered that the Advisor also provides administrative services to the fund on a cost basis pursuant to an administrative services agreement;
(g)noted that the Advisor will derive reputational and other indirect benefits from providing advisory services to the New Fund;
(h)noted that the subadvisory fee for the New Fund will be paid by Advisor and was negotiated at arm’s length; and
(i)considered that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it will provide to the New Fund and the risks that it assumes as Advisor, including entrepreneurial, operational, reputational, litigation and regulatory risk.

Table of Contents
Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the anticipated level of profitability, if any, of the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the New Fund is reasonable and not excessive.
Economies of scale. In considering the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the New Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders, the Board:
(a)considered that the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee for certain funds of the John Hancock Fund Complex, including the New Fund (the participating portfolios) or otherwise reimburse the expenses of the participating portfolios (the reimbursement). This waiver is based upon aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated daily and allocated among all the participating portfolios in proportion to the daily net assets of each fund;
(b)the Board also took into account management’s discussion of the New Fund’s advisory fee structure;
(c)the Board also considered the potential effect of the New Fund’s future growth in size on its performance and fees; and
(d)the Board also noted that if the New Fund’s assets increase over time, the New Fund may realize other economies of scale.
Approval of Subadvisory Agreement
In making its determination with respect to approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board reviewed:
(1)information relating to the Subadvisor’s business, including current subadvisory services to other funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex; and
(2)the proposed subadvisory fee for the New Fund, including any breakpoints.
Nature, extent, and quality of services. With respect to the services to be provided by the Subadvisor, the Board received and reviewed information provided to the Board by the Subadvisor with respect to the New Fund and took into account information presented throughout the past year with respect to Funds in the complex managed by the Advisor and subadvised by the Subadvisor. The Board considered the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources, as well as considered information relating to the Subadvisor’s compensation program. The Board reviewed the Subadvisor’s history and investment experience, as well as information regarding the qualifications, background, and responsibilities of the Subadvisor’s investment and compliance personnel who will provide services to the New Fund. The Board considered, among other things, the Subadvisor’s compliance program and any disciplinary history. The Board also considered the Subadvisor’s risk assessment and monitoring process. The Board reviewed the Subadvisor’s regulatory history, including whether it was involved in any regulatory actions or investigations as well as material litigation, and any settlements and amelioratory actions undertaken, as appropriate. The Board noted that the Advisor conducts regular periodic reviews of the Subadvisor and its operations in regard to the Funds, including regarding investment processes and organizational and staffing matters. The Board also noted that the Trust’s CCO and his staff conduct regular, periodic compliance reviews with the Subadvisor and present reports to the Independent Trustees regarding the same, which includes evaluating the regulatory compliance systems of the Subadvisor and procedures reasonably designed to assure compliance with the federal securities laws. The Board also took into account the financial condition of the Subadvisor.
The Board considered the Subadvisor’s investment process and philosophy. The Board also considered the experience of the portfolio management team that would be responsible for managing the New Fund’s assets.
Subadvisor compensation. In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the New Fund, the Board noted that the fees under the Subadvisory Agreement will be paid by the Advisor and not the New Fund. The Board also received information and took into account any other potential conflicts of interest the Advisor might have in connection with the Subadvisory Agreement.
The Board also relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate the Subadvisory Agreement with the Subadvisor, which is not affiliated with the Advisor, and the fees thereunder at arm’s length. As a result, the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Subadvisor from its relationship with the Trust were not a material factor in the Board’s consideration of the Subadvisory Agreement.
The Board also considered the nature and scope (including their significance to the Advisor and its affiliates and to the Subadvisor) of any material relationships with respect to the Subadvisor, which include arrangements in which the Subadvisor or its affiliates provide advisory, distribution, or management services in connection with financial products sponsored by the Advisor or its affiliates, and may include other registered investment companies, a 529 education savings plan, managed separate accounts and exempt group annuity contracts sold to qualified plans. The Board also received information and took into account any other potential conflicts of interest the Advisor might have in connection with the Subadvisory Agreement.
In addition, the Board considered other potential indirect benefits that the Subadvisor and its affiliates may receive from the Subadvisor’s relationship with the New Fund, such as the opportunity to provide advisory services to additional funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex and reputational benefits.
Subadvisory fees. The Board considered that the New Fund will pay an advisory fee to the Advisor and that, in turn, the Advisor will pay a subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor.
Subadvisor performance. As noted above, the Board considered the New Fund’s investment strategies and processes. The Board also reviewed performance information of a similar strategy managed by the Subadvisor over various time periods. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadvisor. The Board was mindful of the Advisor’s focus on the Subadvisor’s performance. The Board also noted the Subadvisor’s long-term performance record for similar accounts, as applicable.

The Board’s decision to approve the Subadvisory Agreement was based on a number of determinations, including the following:
(1)the Subadvisor has extensive experience and demonstrated skills as a manager, and currently subadvises other Funds in the complex, and may reasonably be expected to provide a high quality of investment management services to the New Fund;
(2)the Subadvisor provided performance information for a composite of comparable accounts over various time periods;
(3)the proposed subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to the level and quality of services to be provided under the Subadvisory Agreement; and
(4)that the subadvisory fees will be paid by the Advisor not the New Fund.
***
Based on the Board’s evaluation of all factors that the Board deemed to be material, including those factors described above, and assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that approval of the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interest of the New Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, and the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the amendment to the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement.

Note 1Organization
John Hancock Global Senior Loan ETF (the fund) is a series of John Hancock Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The investment objective of the fund is to seek to provide a high level of current income.
The fund commenced operations on August 19, 2025.
Basis of consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of John Hancock GSL ETF Cayman Subsidiary Fund (the subsidiary), which was incorporated on July 8, 2025, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the fund. The fund and its subsidiary are advised by John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor). As of October 31, 2025, the net assets of the subsidiary were $50,408 representing 0.03% of the fund’s consolidated net assets. Intercompany accounts and transactions, if any, have been eliminated. The consolidated fund’s investments include positions of the fund and the subsidiary.
Note 2Significant accounting policies
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant. The fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of Accounting Standards Codification of US GAAP.
Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time. In case of emergency or other disruption resulting in the NYSE not opening for trading or the NYSE closing at a time other than the regularly scheduled close, the net asset value (NAV) may be determined as of the regularly scheduled close of the NYSE pursuant to the Valuation Policies and Procedures of the Advisor, John Hancock Investment Management LLC, the fund’s valuation designee.
In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Debt obligations are typically valued based on evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing vendor. Independent pricing vendors utilize matrix pricing, which takes into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data, as well as broker supplied prices. Investments by the fund in open-end mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs each business day. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward rates which are based on foreign currency exchange spot rates and forward points supplied by an independent pricing vendor.  Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor.
Other portfolio securities and assets, for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. Trading in foreign securities may be completed before the scheduled daily close of trading on the NYSE. Significant events at the issuer or market level may affect the values of securities between the time when the valuation of the securities is generally determined and the close of the NYSE. If a significant event occurs, these securities may be fair valued, as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee, following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted by the Board of Trustees. The Advisor uses fair value adjustment factors provided by an independent pricing vendor to value certain foreign securities in order to adjust for events that may occur between the close of foreign exchanges or markets and the close of the NYSE.

Table of Contents
The fund uses a three tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, including registered investment companies. Level 2 includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the Advisor’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques and related inputs may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

Senior loans. The fund invests in senior loans. Senior loans include first and second lien term loans, delayed draw term loans, and revolving credit facilities, and club deals, and will include but not limited to, senior secured floating rate bank loans. These type of investments are called senior loans because they are generally secured by a borrower’s assets pursuant to a first or second priority or senior lien, ranking above unsecured an subordinated bonds. Such loans pay a coupon and repay the bulk of principle at maturity. This means that the asset class has little or no interest rate duration. Senior loans do not include commercial mortgage loans. The fund may invest in loans either by transacting directly at the initial funding date or acquiring loans in secondary market transactions. The fund’s commitments in connection with a portion of loans in which it invests may be unfunded.
The fund may be subject to greater levels of credit risk, call (or prepayment) risk, settlement risk and liquidity risk than funds that do not invest in senior loans. Senior loans are considered predominantly speculative with respect to an issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments, and may be more volatile than other types of securities. An economic downturn or individual corporate developments could adversely affect the market for these instruments and reduce the fund’s ability to sell these instruments at an advantageous time or price. An economic downturn would generally lead to a higher non-payment rate and a senior loan may lose significant value before a default occurs. The fund may also be subject to greater levels of liquidity risk than funds that do not invest in senior loans. In addition, the senior loans in which the fund invests may not be listed on any exchange and a secondary market for such loans may be comparatively less liquid relative to markets for other more liquid fixed income securities. Consequently, transactions in senior loans may involve greater costs than transactions in more actively traded securities. Restrictions on transfers in loan agreements, a lack of publicly-available information, irregular trading activity and wide bid/ask spreads among other factors, may, in certain circumstances,
   | JOHN HANCOCK Global Senior Loan ETF 22

Table of Contents
make senior loans difficult to value accurately or sell at an advantageous time or price than other types of securities or instruments. These factors may result in the fund being unable to realize full value for the senior loans and/or may result in the fund not receiving the proceeds from a sale of a senior loan for an extended period after such sale, each of which could result in losses to the fund. Senior loans may have extended trade settlement periods which may result in cash not being immediately available to the fund. If an issuer of a senior loan prepays or redeems the loan prior to maturity, the fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in other senior loans or similar instruments that may pay lower interest rates. Senior loans in which the fund invests may or may not be collateralized, although the loans may not be fully collateralized and the collateral may be unavailable or insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower. The fund may have limited rights to exercise remedies against such collateral or a borrower, and loan agreements may impose certain procedures that delay receipt of the proceeds of collateral or require the fund to act collectively with other creditors to exercise its rights with respect to a senior loan. Because of the risks involved in investing in senior loans, an investment in the fund should be considered speculative. Junior loans, which are secured and unsecured subordinated loans, second lien loans and subordinate bridge loans, involve a higher degree of overall risk than senior loans of the same borrower due to the junior loan’s lower place in the borrower’s capital structure and, in some cases, their unsecured status.
At October 31, 2025, the fund had $106,817 in unfunded loan commitments outstanding.
Mortgage and asset-backed securities. The fund may invest in mortgage-related securities, such as mortgage-backed securities, and other asset-backed securities, which are debt obligations that represent interests in pools of mortgages or other income-bearing assets, such as consumer loans or receivables. Such securities often involve risks that are different from the risks associated with investing in other types of debt securities. Mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities are subject to changes in the payment patterns of borrowers of the underlying debt. When interest rates fall, borrowers are more likely to refinance or prepay their debt before its stated maturity. This may result in the fund having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities, effectively reducing the fund’s income. Conversely, if interest rates rise and borrowers repay their debt more slowly than expected, the time in which the mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities are paid off could be extended, reducing the fund’s cash available for reinvestment in higher yielding securities.  The timely payment of principal and interest of certain mortgage-related securities is guaranteed with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Pools created and guaranteed by non-governmental issuers, including government-sponsored corporations (e.g., FNMA), may be supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, but there can be no assurance that private insurers or guarantors can meet their obligations under the insurance policies or guarantee arrangements. The fund is also subject to risks associated with securities with contractual cash flows including asset-backed and mortgage related securities such as collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage pass-through securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate value, pre-payments, delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.
Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily NAV calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization/accretion of premiums/discounts on debt securities. Debt obligations may be placed in a non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by stopping current accruals and writing off interest receivable when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Dividend income is recorded on ex-date, except for dividends of certain foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. In those cases, dividend income, net of withholding taxes, is recorded when the fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.

Foreign investing. Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the value of securities is reflected as a component of the realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Foreign investments are subject to a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.
Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors.
Overdraft. The fund may have the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund’s custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Line of credit. The fund and other affiliated funds have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. as the administrative agent that enables them to participate in a $1 billion unsecured committed line of credit, which is in effect through July 13, 2026 unless extended or renewed. Excluding commitments designated for certain funds and subject to the needs of all other affiliated funds, the fund can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $750 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement.
A commitment fee payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is charged to each participating fund based on an asset-based allocation and is reflected in Other expenses on the Consolidated statement of operations. For the period ended October 31, 2025, the fund had no borrowings under the line of credit. Commitment fees for the period ended October 31, 2025 were $22.
Expenses. Within the John Hancock group of funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.The fund incurred offering costs of $75,000 which are amortized over the fund’s first year of operations. During the period ended October 31, 2025, $14,795 of offering costs were expensed and are included in Offering costs within the Consolidated statement of Operations. At October 31, 2025, $60,205 of unamortized offering costs are included in Deferred offering cost within the Consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.
Federal income taxes. The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares and pays dividends monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are typically distributed annually.
Such distributions, on a tax basis, if any, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in the fund’s consolidated financial statements as a return of capital. The final determination of tax characteristics of the fund’s distribution will occur at the end of the year and will subsequently be reported to shareholders.

Capital accounts within the consolidated financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period.
Note 3Derivative instruments
The fund or its subsidiary may invest in derivatives in order to meet its investment objective. Derivatives include a variety of different instruments that may be traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, on a regulated exchange or through a clearing facility. The risks in using derivatives vary depending upon the structure of the instruments, including the use of leverage, optionality, the liquidity or lack of liquidity of the contract, the creditworthiness of the counterparty or clearing organization and the volatility of the position. Some derivatives involve risks that are potentially greater than the risks associated with investing directly in the referenced securities or other referenced underlying instrument. Specifically, the fund is exposed to the risk that the counterparty to an OTC derivatives contract will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. OTC derivatives transactions typically can only be closed out with the other party to the transaction.
Derivatives which are typically traded through the OTC market are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC). Derivative counterparty risk is managed through an ongoing evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties and, if applicable, designated clearing organizations. The fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty risk for derivatives traded in the OTC market, whenever possible, by entering into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement with each of its OTC counterparties. The ISDA gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under the agreement if there is certain deterioration in the credit quality or contractual default of the other party, as defined in the ISDA. Upon an event of default or a termination of the ISDA, the non-defaulting party has the right to close out all transactions and to net amounts owed.
As defined by the ISDA, the fund or its subsidiary may have collateral agreements with certain counterparties to mitigate counterparty risk on OTC derivatives. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral for OTC transactions is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a particular counterparty. Collateral pledged to the fund, if any, is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent or held by the custodian bank for the benefit of the fund and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies; collateral posted by the fund, if any, for OTC transactions is held in a segregated account at the fund’s custodian and is noted in the accompanying Consolidated Fund’s investments, or if cash is posted, on the Consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. The fund’s risk of loss due to counterparty risk is equal to the asset value of outstanding contracts offset by collateral received.
Certain derivatives are traded or cleared on an exchange or central clearinghouse. Exchange-traded or centrally-cleared transactions generally present less counterparty risk to a fund than OTC transactions. The exchange or clearinghouse stands between the fund and the broker to the contract and therefore, credit risk is generally limited to the failure of the exchange or clearinghouse and the clearing member.
Forward foreign currency contracts. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell specific currencies at a price that is set on the date of the contract. The forward contract calls for delivery of the currencies on a future date that is specified in the contract. Forwards are typically traded OTC. Risks related to the use of forwards include the possible failure of counterparties to meet the terms of the forward agreement, the failure of the counterparties to timely post collateral if applicable, and the risk that currency movements will not favor the fund thereby reducing the fund’s total return, and the potential for losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.
The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are recorded upon delivery or receipt of

the currency or settlement with the counterparty.
During the period ended October 31, 2025, the fund used forward foreign currency contracts to manage against changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The fund held forward foreign currency contracts with USD notional values ranging up to $26.7 million, as measured at period end.

For financial reporting purposes, the fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements, as defined by the ISDAs, in the Consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. In the event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the ISDA allows an offset of amounts across the various transactions between the fund and the applicable counterparty.

Note 4Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, including the fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 5Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) serves as investment advisor for the fund. The Advisor is an indirect, principally owned subsidiary of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.), which in turn is a subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC).
   | JOHN HANCOCK Global Senior Loan ETF 26

Table of Contents
Management fee. The fund has an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the fund pays an annual fee rate of 0.54% of the fund’s average daily net assets. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with CQS (US) LLC, an indirectly owned subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation and an affiliate of the Advisor. The fund is not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock group of funds complex, including the fund (the participating portfolios). This waiver is based upon aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated daily and allocated among all the participating portfolios in proportion to the daily net assets of each fund. During the period ended October 31, 2025, this waiver amounted to 0.01% of the fund’s average daily net assets, on an annualized basis. This agreement expires on July 31, 2027, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its management fee or, if necessary, make payment to the fund in an amount by which expenses of the fund exceed 0.59% of average daily net assets. For purposes of this agreement, “expenses of the fund” means all fund expenses, excluding (a) taxes, (b) brokerage commissions, (c) interest expense, (d) litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business, (e) borrowing costs, (f) prime brokerage fees, (g) acquired fund fees and expenses paid indirectly, and (h) short dividend expense. This agreement expires on August 31, 2026, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.
The expense reductions described above amounted to $32,918 for the period ended October 31, 2025.
Expenses waived or reimbursed in the current fiscal period are not subject to recapture in future fiscal periods.
The investment management fees, including the impact of the waivers and reimbursements as described above, incurred for the period ended October 31, 2025, were equivalent to a net annual effective 0.43% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the fund reimburses the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, compliance, accounting and recordkeeping services to the fund, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These accounting and legal services fees incurred, for the period ended October 31, 2025, amounted to an annual rate of 0.02% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Trustee expenses. The fund compensates each Trustee who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates. The costs of paying Trustee compensation and expenses are allocated to the fund based on its net assets relative to other funds within the John Hancock group of funds complex.
Note 6Fund share transactions
The fund will issue and redeem shares only in a large number of specified shares, each called a “creation unit,” or multiples thereof. The fund issues and redeems shares at NAV in creation units of 25,000. Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. Such transactions generally take place when an authorized participant deposits into a fund a designated portfolio of securities and/or cash in exchange for a specified number of creation units. Similarly, shares can be redeemed only in creation units, generally for a designated portfolio of securities and/or cash. For purposes of US GAAP, in-kind redemption transactions are treated as a sale of securities and any resulting gains and losses are recognized based on the market value of the securities on the date of the transfer. Authorized participants pay a transaction fee to the custodian when purchasing and redeeming creation units of the fund. The transaction fee is used to defray the costs associated with the issuance and redemption of creation units. Individual shares of the fund may only be

purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Secondary market transactions may be subject to brokerage commissions. Shares of the fund are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc., trade at market prices rather than NAV, and may trade at a price greater than or less than NAV.
Authorized participants transacting in creation or redemption of units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for the costs associated with purchasing or selling the applicable securities. Fixed transaction fees payable to the custodian may also be incurred on creation and redemption transactions. For the period ended October 31, 2025, such variable and/or fixed transaction fees were approximately $308,565. These charges are included in shares issued or repurchased on the Consolidated statement of changes in net assets.
Note 7Purchase and sale of securities
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term investments, amounted to $144,446,963 and $4,672,877, respectively, for the period ended October 31, 2025.
Note 8Investment by affiliated funds
Certain investors in the fund are affiliated funds that are managed by the Advisor and its affiliates. The affiliated funds do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, this investment may represent a significant portion of the fund’s net assets. At October 31, 2025, funds within the John Hancock group of funds complex held 98.4% of the fund’s net assets. The following fund(s) had an affiliate ownership of 5% or more of the fund’s net assets: At October 31, 2025, funds within the John Hancock group of funds complex had the following affiliate ownership as a percentage of the funds’ net assets (funds with an affiliate ownership of 5% or more are disclosed separately):
Portfolio Affiliated Concentration
John Hancock Funds II Lifestyle Blend Balanced Portfolio 26.8%
John Hancock Funds II Lifestyle Blend Conservative Portfolio 14.1%
John Hancock Funds II Lifestyle Blend Moderate Portfolio 13.8%
John Hancock Funds II Lifestyle Blend Growth Portfolio 13.2%
John Hancock Funds II 2025 Lifetime Blend Portfolio 10.1%
John Hancock Funds II 2030 Lifetime Blend Portfolio 8.5%
John Hancock Funds II 2020 Lifetime Blend Portfolio 5.8%
Note 9Segment reporting
The management committee of the Advisor acts as the fund’s chief operating decision maker (the CODM), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors and assesses the operating results of the fund as a whole, and the fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is managed in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the portfolio management team of the fund’s subadvisor. Segment assets are reflected in the Consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as “Total assets”, which consists primarily of total investments at value. The financial information, including the measurement of profit and loss and significant expenses, provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented within the Consolidated statement of operations, which includes “Increase (decrease) in net assets from operations”, Consolidated statement of changes in net assets, which includes “Increase (decrease) in net assets from fund share transactions”, and Consolidated financial highlights, which includes total return and income and expense ratios.

EVALUATION OF ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Approval of Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements
At meetings held on June 23-26, 2025, the Board of Trustees (the Board) of John Hancock Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the Trust), including all of the Trustees who are not parties to any Agreement or considered to be interested persons of the Trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) (the Independent Trustees), reviewed and approved the establishment of John Hancock Global Senior Loan ETF (the New Fund). The Independent Trustees also met separately to evaluate and discuss the information presented, including with independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees.
At the June 23-26, 2025 meeting, the Board considered and approved with respect to the New Fund:
(a) an amendment to the advisory agreement between the Trust and John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) (the Advisory Agreement); and
(b) the subadvisory agreement between the Advisor and CQS (US), LLC (the Subadvisor) (the Subadvisory Agreement).
In considering the amendment to the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the New Fund, the Board received in advance of the meetings a variety of materials relating to the New Fund, the Advisor and the Subadvisor, including comparative fee and expense information for a group of comparable exchange-traded funds, and other information regarding the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor under their respective Agreements, as well as information regarding the Advisor’s anticipated revenues and costs of providing services in connection with its proposed relationship to the New Fund and any compensation paid to affiliates of the Advisor. The Board also took into account discussions with management and information provided to the Board (including its various committees) at prior meetings with respect to the services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor to other John Hancock Funds (the Funds), including quarterly performance reports prepared by management containing reviews of investment results and periodic presentations from the Subadvisor with respect to the other Funds that it manages. The information received and considered by the Board in connection with the June meetings and throughout the year (with respect to other Funds) was both written and oral. The Board took into account a presentation provided at the June meetings from the Subadvisor’s portfolio management team who would be responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the New Fund’s assets.  The Board noted the affiliation of the Subadvisor with the Advisor, noting any potential conflicts of interest. The Board also considered the nature, quality, and extent of the non-advisory services, if any, to be provided to the New Fund by the Advisor and or its affiliates, including administrative services. The Board also took into account information with respect to the New Fund presented at its March 24-27, 2025 meeting. The Board considered the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement separately in the course of its review. In doing so, the Board noted the respective roles of the Advisor and Subadvisor in providing services to the New Fund.
Throughout the process, the Board asked questions of and were afforded the opportunity to request additional information from management. The Board is assisted by counsel for the Trust and the Independent Trustees are also separately assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the process. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement and discussed the proposed Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of management were present.

Approval of Advisory Agreement
In approving the Advisory Agreement with respect to the New Fund, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered a variety of factors, including those discussed below. The Board also considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy, the securities markets and the industry) and did not treat any single factor as determinative, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to different factors.
The Board’s conclusions may have been based in part on relevant background information obtained in connection with its consideration of the advisory and subadvisory arrangements for other Funds in prior years.
Nature, extent, and quality of services. Among the information received by the Board from the Advisor relating to the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the New Fund, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, descriptions of its organizational and management structure, and information regarding the Advisor’s compliance and regulatory history, including its Form ADV. The Board also noted that on a regular basis it receives and reviews information from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) regarding the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board considered the investment strategy proposed for the New Fund. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor, and of the undertakings required of the Advisor in connection with those services, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the New Fund’s compliance programs, risk management programs, liquidity risk management programs, derivatives risk management programs, and cybersecurity programs, had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other developments. The Board considered that the Advisor would be responsible for the management of the day-to-day operations of the New Fund, including, but not limited to, general supervision and coordination of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor, and also would be responsible for monitoring and reviewing the activities of the Subadvisor and third-party service providers, including the New Fund’s distributor. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Advisor in connection with the services to be provided to the New Fund, including entrepreneurial risk in sponsoring new funds and ongoing risks including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks with respect to all funds.
In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor, the Trustees also took into account their knowledge of the Advisor’s management of other Funds and the quality of the performance of the Advisor’s duties with respect to other Funds, through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year and through each Trustee’s experience as a Trustee of the Trust and of the other trusts in the John Hancock group of funds complex (the John Hancock Fund Complex).
In the course of their deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered, among other things:
(a) the skills and competency with which the Advisor has in the past managed the Trust’s affairs and its subadvisory relationships, including with the Subadvisor, the Advisor’s oversight and monitoring of the Subadvisor’s investment performance and compliance program, such as the Subadvisor’s compliance with fund policies and objectives; review of brokerage matters, including with respect to trade allocation and best execution; and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to performance issues;
(b) the background, qualifications, and skills of the Advisor’s personnel;
(c) the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures and its responsiveness to regulatory changes and fund industry developments;
(d) the Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the New Fund, as well as the Advisor’s oversight of any securities lending activity, its monitoring of class action litigation and collection of class action settlements on behalf of the New Fund, and bringing loss recovery actions on behalf of the New Fund;

(e) the financial condition of the Advisor and whether it has the financial wherewithal to provide a high level and quality of services to the New Fund;
(f) the Advisor’s initiatives intended to improve various aspects of the Trust’s operations and investor experience with the New Fund; and
(g) the Advisor’s reputation and experience in serving as an investment advisor to the Trust, and the benefit to shareholders of investing in funds that are part of a family of funds offering a variety of investments.
The Board concluded that the Advisor may reasonably be expected to provide a high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement with respect to the New Fund.
Investment performance. In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the New Fund’s proposed investment strategy and processes, as well as the experience of the portfolio management team at the Subadvisor in managing a similar strategy as proposed to be used for the New Fund.  The Board also reviewed performance information of a similar strategy managed by the Subadvisor over various time periods. The Board also noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the performance of other John Hancock Funds managed by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. 
Fees and expenses. The Board reviewed comparative information including, among other data, the New Fund’s anticipated management fees and net total expenses as compared to similarly situated exchange-traded funds deemed to be comparable to the New Fund in light of the nature, extent, and quality of the investment management and advisory and subadvisory services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the New Fund’s anticipated expenses. The Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor concerning investment advisory fees charged to other clients (including other funds in the complex) having similar investment mandates, if any. The Board considered any differences between the Advisor’s and Subadvisor’s services to the New Fund and the services they provide to other such comparable clients or funds.
The Board also took into account management’s discussion with respect to the proposed management fee and the fees of the Subadvisor, including the amount of the advisory fee to be retained by the Advisor after payment of the subadvisory fee, in each case in light of the services rendered for those amounts and the risks undertaken by the Advisor. The Board also noted that the Advisor, and not the New Fund, would be responsible for paying the subadvisory fees. The Board also took into account that management has agreed to implement an overall fee waiver across a number of funds in the complex, including the New Fund, which is discussed further below.
The Board concluded that the advisory fees to be paid by the New Fund are reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services expected to be provided to the New Fund under the Advisory Agreement.
Profitability/Fall out benefits. In considering the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the Advisor’s relationship with the New Fund, the Board:
(a) reviewed financial information of the Advisor;
(b) noted that because the New Fund had not yet commenced operations, no actual revenue, cost or profitability data was available, although the Board received information from the Advisor on its projected profitability with respect to the New Fund;
(c) received and reviewed profitability information with respect to the John Hancock Fund Complex as a whole;
(d) received information with respect to the Advisor’s allocation methodologies used in preparing the profitability data;

(e) considered that the John Hancock insurance companies that are affiliates of the Advisor, as shareholders of the Trust directly or through their separate accounts, receive certain tax credits or deductions relating to foreign taxes paid and dividends received by certain funds of the Trust and noted that these tax benefits, which are not available to participants in qualified retirement plans under applicable income tax law, are reflected in the profitability information reviewed by the Board;
(f) considered that the Advisor also provides administrative services to the fund on a cost basis pursuant to an administrative services agreement;
(g) noted that the New Fund’s Subadvisor is an affiliate of the Advisor;
(h) noted that the Advisor will derive reputational and other indirect benefits from providing advisory services to the New Fund;
(i) noted that the subadvisory fee for the New Fund will be paid by Advisor; and
(j) considered that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it will provide to the New Fund and the risks that it assumes as Advisor, including entrepreneurial, operational, reputational, litigation and regulatory risk.
Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the anticipated level of profitability, if any, of the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the New Fund is reasonable and not excessive.
Economies of scale. In considering the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the New Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders, the Board:
(a) considered that the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee for certain funds of the John Hancock Fund Complex, including the New Fund (the participating portfolios) or otherwise reimburse the expenses of the participating portfolios (the reimbursement). This waiver is based upon aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated daily and allocated among all the participating portfolios in proportion to the daily net assets of each fund;
(b) the Board also took into account management’s discussion of the New Fund’s advisory fee structure;
(c) the Board also considered the potential effect of the New Fund’s future growth in size on its performance and fees; and
(d) the Board also noted that if the New Fund’s assets increase over time, the New Fund may realize other economies of scale.
Approval of Subadvisory Agreement
In making its determination with respect to approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board reviewed:
(1) information relating to the Subadvisor’s business, including current subadvisory services to the Trust (and other funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex); and
(2) the proposed subadvisory fee for the New Fund, including any breakpoints.
Nature, extent, and quality of services. With respect to the services to be provided by the Subadvisor, the Board received and reviewed information provided to the Board by the Subadvisor with respect to the New Fund and took into account information presented throughout the past year with respect to Funds in the complex managed by the Advisor and subadvised by the Subadvisor. The Board took into account a presentation provided at the June meetings from the Subadvisor’s portfolio management team who would be responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the New Fund’s assets.  The Board considered the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources, as well as considered information relating to the Subadvisor’s compensation program.

The Board reviewed the Subadvisor’s history and investment experience, as well as information regarding the qualifications, background, and responsibilities of the Subadvisor’s investment and compliance personnel who will provide services to the New Fund. The Board considered, among other things, the Subadvisor’s compliance program and any disciplinary history. The Board also considered the Subadvisor’s risk assessment and monitoring process. The Board reviewed the Subadvisor’s regulatory history, including whether it was involved in any regulatory actions or investigations as well as material litigation, and any settlements and amelioratory actions undertaken, as appropriate. The Board noted that the Advisor conducts regular periodic reviews of the Subadvisor and its operations in regard to the Funds, including regarding investment processes and organizational and staffing matters. The Board also noted that the Trust’s CCO and his staff conduct regular, periodic compliance reviews with the Subadvisor and present reports to the Independent Trustees regarding the same, which includes evaluating the regulatory compliance systems of the Subadvisor and procedures reasonably designed to assure compliance with the federal securities laws. The Board also took into account the financial condition of the Subadvisor.
The Board considered the Subadvisor’s investment process and philosophy. The Board also considered the experience of the portfolio management team that would be responsible for managing the New Fund’s assets.
Subadvisor compensation. In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the New Fund, the Board noted that the fees under the Subadvisory Agreement will be paid by the Advisor and not the New Fund. The Board also considered any other potential conflicts of interest the Advisor might have in connection with the Subadvisory Agreement.
In addition, the Board considered other potential indirect benefits that the Subadvisor and its affiliates may receive from the Subadvisor’s relationship with the New Fund, such as the opportunity to provide advisory services to additional funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex and reputational benefits.
Subadvisory fees. The Board considered that the New Fund will pay an advisory fee to the Advisor and that, in turn, the Advisor will pay a subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor.
Subadvisor performance. As noted above, the Board considered the New Fund’s investment strategies and processes. The Board also reviewed performance information of a similar strategy managed by the Subadvisor over various time periods. The Board also noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the performance of other John Hancock Funds, including other funds, managed by the Subadvisor. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadvisor. The Board was mindful of the Advisor’s focus on the Subadvisor’s performance. The Board also noted the Subadvisor’s long-term performance record for similar accounts, as applicable.
The Board’s decision to approve the Subadvisory Agreement was based on a number of determinations, including the following:
(1) the Subadvisor has extensive experience and demonstrated skills as a manager, and currently subadvises other Funds in the complex and the Board is generally satisfied with the Subadvisor’s management of these Funds, and may reasonably be expected to provide a high quality of investment management services to the New Fund;
(2) the proposed subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to the level and quality of services to be provided under the Subadvisory Agreement; and
(3) that the subadvisory fees will be paid by the Advisor not the New Fund.
