Last trading and creation orders for these ETFs will end on May 15, 2026, followed by liquidation of the fund portfolios.
Shareholders will automatically receive cash for their holdings post-liquidation; tax implications should be considered.
Sectors impacted include fixed income, particularly high yield corporate bonds; this may affect bond investors and related fixed income markets.

LARKSPUR, Calif., April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BondBloxx Investment Management Corporation today announced plans to close and liquidate the following ETFs based on an ongoing review of its ETF offerings:

After the close of business on May 15, 2026, the funds will no longer accept creation orders.

The last day of trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. for each of the funds will be May 15, 2026. On or about May 15, 2026, the funds will begin the process of liquidating their portfolios and will no longer be managed in accordance with their investment objectives.

Shareholders who do not sell or redeem their shares of any of the above-listed funds before market close on May 15, 2026 will receive cash equal to the amount of the net asset value of their shares in their brokerage accounts on or about the liquidation date of May 29, 2026.

Shareholders should consult their tax advisors about the tax implications of the liquidation of their respective funds. Although the liquidation is not expected to be a taxable event for the funds, for taxable shareholders, the automatic redemption of shares of their respective fund(s) on the liquidation date will generally be treated as a sale that may result in a gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
