Investment Performance

⁽¹⁾ YOU COULD LOSE MONEY BY INVESTING IN THE FUND. ALTHOUGH THE FUND SEEKS TO PRESERVE THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT AT $1.00 PER SHARE, IT CANNOT GUARANTEE IT WILL DO SO. AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND IS NOT A BANK ACCOUNT AND IS NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY. THE FUND'S SPONSOR IS NOT REQUIRED TO REIMBURSE THE FUND FOR LOSSES, AND YOU SHOULD NOT EXPECT THAT THE SPONSOR WILL PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO THE FUND AT ANY TIME, INCLUDING DURING PERIODS OF MARKET STRESS.

⁽²⁾ Investments in Target Retirement Funds are subject to the risks of their underlying funds. The year in the fund name refers to the approximate year (the target date) when an investor in the fund would retire and leave the work force. The fund will gradually shift its emphasis from more aggressive investments to more conservative ones based on its target date. An investment in the Target Retirement Fund is not guaranteed at any time, including on or after the target date.

⁽³⁾ Vanguard Target Retirement Trusts: Investments in Target Retirement Trusts are subject to the risks of their underlying investments. The year in the fund name refers to the approximate year (the target date) when an investor in the trust would retire and leave the workforce. The trust will gradually shift its emphasis from more aggressive investments to more conservative ones based on its target date. An investment in a Target Retirement Trust is not guaranteed at any time, including on or after the target date. These trust suggestions are based on an estimated retirement age of approximately 65. Should you choose to retire significantly earlier or later, you may want to consider a trust with an asset allocation more appropriate to your particular situation. All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you invest. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss. Investments in bonds are subject to interest rate, credit, and inflation risk.

⁽⁴⁾ Conestoga Small Cap Fund - Institutional Class: The Fund has adopted Shareholder Servicing Plans on behalf of the Investors Class and the Institutional Class that will allow the Fund to pay an annual fee of up to 0.25% (for Investors Class) and 0.10% (for Institutional Class) of its average daily net assets for providing services to the Fund's Investors Class shareholders and Institutional Class shareholders, respectively. The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust will limit the Shareholder Servicing fees charged to Investors Class shares of the Fund to 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to Investors Class shares until at least September 30, 2024. The Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for Investors Class shares reflect the maximum 0.25% in Shareholder Servicing fees authorized under the Shareholder Servicing Plan for Investors Class shares and do not match the ratio of total expenses to average net assets in the financial highlights for Investors Class shares, which reflect the 0.05% in Shareholder Servicing Fees paid by Investors Class shares for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. 2. Conestoga Capital Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser") has contractually agreed to limit the Fund's 'Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses' (excluding taxes, extraordinary expenses, reorganization expenses, brokerage commissions, interest, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business) to 1.10% (for the Investors Class) and 0.90% ( for the Institutional Class) of the Fund's average daily net assets until at least January 31, 2025, subject to termination at any time at the option of the Board . If it becomes unnecessary for the Adviser to waive fees or make reimbursements, the Adviser may recapture any of its prior waivers or reimbursements for a period not to exceed two years from the date the waiver or reimbursement was made to the extent such a recapture does not cause the "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" to exceed the applicable expense limitation that was in effect at the time of the waiver or reimbursement and at the time of recoupment.
