IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING YOUR INVESTMENT

ADJOURNED SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
We are almost there, but we need your help. FormulaFolios U.S. Equity Fund (the “Fund”) adjourned its special meeting of shareholders that was scheduled to take place October 9, 2020, due to a lack of quorum. The proposal being considered at the Special Meeting is the approval of a new investment advisory agreement by and between Northern Lights Fund Trust II (the “Trust”), on behalf of the Fund, and FormulaFolio Investments LLC (the “Adviser”), the current investment adviser to the Fund (the “New Advisory Agreement”). No fee increase is proposed.
The Board unanimously approved the New Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on April 22, 2020. However, the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires that Fund shareholders approve the New Advisory Agreement before it can become effective. The approval of the New Advisory Agreement will not result in any change in advisory fees or any other fees or expenses paid by the Fund. The Special Meeting has been adjourned once again until Wednesday, November 6, 2020, at 1:00 pm Eastern time to afford additional time to solicit shareholder votes in order to achieve quorum and hold the Meeting. The current interim advisory agreement in place between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Adviser will expire in November.
Our records indicate your shares of the Fund have yet to be voted. We apologize for the continued follow-up regarding this matter. HOWEVER, IT IS CRITICAL THAT WE RECEIVE YOUR PROXY VOTE BY NOVEMBER 6, 2020. Please help us to avoid further delay and costs by taking a moment to cast your vote today.
We value your time and have set up convenient voting options. Should you have any questions about the proposals, or about how to vote, please call (800) 659-6590.
Thank you in advance to your attention to this important matter.
Best regards,
