AB Active ETFs, Inc. has made a notable update regarding its investment advisory agreements. The company filed a supplement to its Statement of Additional Information on October 30, 2026, which outlines critical changes related to an upcoming transaction. This filing is essential as it indicates preparations for a significant shift in the company's advisory structure.

AB Active ETFs, Inc. is an investment firm incorporated in Maryland. The firm operates under the Central Index Key (CIK) number 0001496608. The company has been active in the investment sector, and its recent filings include a series of NPORT-P forms, indicating ongoing regulatory compliance. The firm has a dedicated business address in New York, New York, where it operates as a subsidiary of AllianceBernstein L.P.

The recent filing states, "Under the 1940 Act, an investment advisory agreement between a registered investment company, such as the Fund, and its investment adviser must include a provision providing for its automatic termination upon its 'assignment.'" This indicates that the closing of the upcoming transaction may lead to the automatic termination of the existing investment advisory agreement, necessitating the approval of a new agreement.

This update may affect various stakeholders, including the Fund's Board and its sole shareholder, who have already approved the new investment advisory agreements. The completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and shareholder votes from both Corebridge and EQH.

The filing does not say what happens next, but it highlights the importance of these advisory agreements in maintaining the operational integrity of the Fund amidst significant changes.
