First Trust Entities Disclose Shared Dispositive Power Over 325,054 Invesco High Income Trust II Shares

The total shares held by those unit investment trusts are reported in the shared dispositive power figure of 325,054. The filing states that no individual unit investment trust sponsored by First Trust Portfolios L.P. holds more than 3% of any registered investment company issuer's shares.

First Trust Advisors L.P. is described in the filing as an affiliate of First Trust Portfolios L.P. that acts as portfolio supervisor of the unit investment trusts, certain of which hold shares of the issuer. The Charger Corporation is identified as the general partner of both First Trust Portfolios L.P. and First Trust Advisors L.P.

The filing notes that none of the three reporting persons holds the power to vote the issuer's shares held by the unit investment trusts. Instead, the filing states those shares "are voted by the trustee of such unit investment trusts so as to insure that the shares are ordinarily voted as closely as possible in the same manner and in the same general proportion as are the shares held by owners other than such unit investment trusts." The filing was signed by James M. Dykas, Chief Financial Officer, on behalf of all three entities on October 30, 2026.
