First Trust Advisors L.P. (“FTA”) announced that the special
meeting of shareholders of First Trust Taiwan AlphaDEX® Fund
(NASDAQ: FTW) (the “Fund”), an exchange-traded index fund and a
series of First Trust Exchange-Traded AlphaDEX® Fund II, has been
adjourned in order to allow shareholders additional time to vote on
a new investment objective for the Fund and permit additional
solicitation of shareholders. The shareholder meeting for the Fund
will reconvene on March 19, 2018 at 4:00 pm Central at the offices
of FTA, 120 East Liberty Drive, Wheaton, Illinois 60187. During the
pendency of the adjourned meeting, shareholders holding shares as
of the record date of January 29, 2018, who have not yet voted are
encouraged to vote on the change in investment objective. Because
brokers cannot vote the shares on this non-routine matter,
shareholders holding shares through a brokerage firm must vote
their shares for the purposes of receiving sufficient votes to
decide this issue. Shareholders may also change their vote by
executing a new proxy.
On January 19, 2018, FTA announced that it would seek
shareholder approval for changes to the Fund’s investment
objective. Subject to shareholder approval, the Fund’s new
investment objective will be to seek investment results that
correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Fund’s fees
and expenses) of an equity index called the NIFTY 50 Equal Weight
Index (the “Index”). The Index is compiled, calculated and
maintained by India Index Services & Products Limited (“IISL”),
a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Stock Exchange of
India.
In connection with the solicitation of proxies to approve the
proposal described above, the Fund has filed a proxy statement.
Because the proxy statement contains important information, the
Fund’s shareholders are urged to read the proxy statement and
accompanying materials carefully. The Fund’s shareholders are also
able to obtain copies of these documents by calling FTA toll-free
at 800-621-1675. The proxy statement is also available free of
charge at the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
www.sec.gov. The foregoing is not an offer to sell, nor a
solicitation of an offer to buy, shares of the Fund, nor is it a
solicitation of any proxy. There can be no assurance that the
necessary percentage of the shareholders of the Fund will vote to
approve the proposal.
FTA has served as the Fund’s investment advisor since the Fund’s
inception. FTA, along with its affiliate First Trust Portfolios
L.P., are privately-held companies which provide a variety of
investment services, including asset management and financial
advisory services, with collective assets under management or
supervision of approximately $124 billion as of February 28, 2018,
through unit investment trusts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end
funds, mutual funds and separate managed accounts.
You should consider the Fund’s investment objective, risks,
charges and expenses carefully before investing. You can download a
prospectus or contact FTA to request a prospectus, which contains
other information about the Fund. Read it carefully before you
invest. The risks of investing in the Fund are spelled out in its

obligation to take the needs of the Fund or the owners of the Fund
into consideration in determining, composing or calculating the
