Innovator Capital Management, LLC (Innovator) today announced the
new upside caps and return profiles for the May series of the U.S.
Equity Buffer ETFs™ – Innovator U.S. Equity Buffer ETF™ – May
(BMAY), Innovator U.S. Equity Power Buffer ETF™ – May (PMAY) and
Innovator U.S. Equity Ultra Buffer ETF™ – May (UMAY) – which
completed their third annual outcome period and reset at the end of
April. The 36 total ETFs in the flagship U.S. Equity Buffer ETF
lineup seek to provide investors with upside participation, to a
cap, in Large-cap U.S. stocks via options on the SPDR S&P 500
ETF Trust (SPY) with buffers against market losses of 9%, 15% or
30% over one-year periods.
Following the volatile market conditions of 2022
that have extended into 2023, Innovator’s suite of defined-outcome
ETFs have helped to shield investors from market downturns, while
maintaining exposure to the market’s upside potential. By bringing
defined-outcome strategies to the ETF structure, Innovator has
helped to provide advisors and investors of all stripes with
lower-cost, tax-efficient and liquid investment solutions that had
traditionally been unavailable to many. The ETFs are designed to
reset annually or quarterly and can be held indefinitely.

expenses, over the full Outcome Period. Outcome Period is the
intended length of time over which the defined outcomes are sought.

The Funds have characteristics unlike
many other traditional investment products and may not be suitable
for all investors. For more information regarding whether an
investment in the Fund is right for you, please see “Investor
Suitability” in the prospectus.
Although each Fund seeks to achieve the
defined outcomes stated in its investment objective, there is no
guarantee that it will do so. The returns that the Funds seek to
provide do not include the costs associated with purchasing shares
of the Fund and certain expenses incurred by the Fund.
Investing involves risks. Loss of
principal is possible. The Funds face numerous market
trading risks, including active markets risk, authorized
participation concentration risk, buffered loss risk, cap change
risk, capped upside return risk, correlation risk, liquidity risk,
management risk, market maker risk, market risk,
non-diversification risk, operation risk, options risk, trading
issues risk, upside participation risk and valuation risk. For a
detail list of fund risks see the prospectus.
FLEX Options Risk. The Fund
will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by
the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC). In the unlikely event that
the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its
settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.
Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than standard
options. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, the Fund may
have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at
desired times and prices. The values of FLEX Options do not
increase or decrease at the same rate as the reference asset and
may vary due to factors other than the price of reference
asset.
These Funds are designed to provide
point-to-point exposure to the price return of the Reference Asset
via a basket of Flex Options. As a result, the ETFs are not
expected to move directly in line with the Reference Asset during
the interim period.
Investors purchasing shares after an outcome
period has begun may experience very different results than funds'
investment objective. Initial outcome periods are approximately
1-year beginning on the funds' inception date. Following the
initial outcome period, each subsequent outcome period will begin
on the first day of the month the fund was incepted. After the
conclusion of an outcome period, another will begin.
Fund shareholders are subject to an
upside return cap (the "Cap") that represents the maximum
percentage return an investor can achieve from an investment in the
funds' for the Outcome Period, before fees and expenses. If the
Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has increased in value to a
level near to the Cap, an investor purchasing at that price has
little or no ability to achieve gains but remains vulnerable to
downside risks. Additionally, the Cap may rise or fall from one
Outcome Period to the next. The Cap, and the Fund's position
relative to it, should be considered before investing in the Fund.
The Funds' website, www.innovatoretfs.com, provides important Fund
information as well information relating to the potential outcomes
of an investment in a Fund on a daily basis.
The Funds with buffer mechanisms only
seek to provide shareholders that hold shares for the entire
Outcome Period with their respective buffer level against Reference
Asset losses during the Outcome Period. You will bear all Reference
Asset losses exceeding 9, 15 or 30%. Depending upon market
conditions at the time of purchase, a shareholder that purchases
shares after the Outcome Period has begun may also lose their
entire investment. For instance, if the Outcome Period has begun
and the Fund has decreased in value beyond the pre-determined
buffer, an investor purchasing shares at that price may not benefit
from the buffer. Similarly, if the Outcome Period has begun and the
Fund has increased in value, an investor purchasing shares at that
price may not benefit from the buffer until the Fund's value has
decreased to its value at the commencement of the Outcome
Period.
