■	Markets suffered their worst first half in decades as inflation fears drove equities downward with a high degree of correlation, which is an unfavorable environment for us as stock pickers. Many of our high-conviction ideas found themselves down significantly at the midway point of the year as bearish sentiment and indiscriminate selling caused a disconnect between share prices and fundamentals in some cases.

Market Commentary

Dear Shareholder

Major stock and bond indexes produced sharply negative results during the first half of 2022 as investors contended with persistently high inflation, tightening financial conditions, and slowing growth.

After reaching an all-time high on January 3, the S&P 500 Index finished the period down about 20%, the worst first half of a calendar year for the index since 1970. Double-digit losses were common in equity markets around the globe, and bond investors also faced a historically tough environment amid a sharp rise in interest rates.

Value shares outperformed growth stocks as equity investors turned risk averse and rising rates put downward pressure on growth stock valuations. Emerging markets stocks held up somewhat better than shares in developed markets due to the strong performance of some oil-exporting countries. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar strengthened during the period, which weighed on returns for U.S. investors in international securities.

Within the S& P 500, energy was the only bright spot, gaining more than 30% as oil prices jumped in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing commodity supply crunch. Typically defensive shares, such as utilities, consumer staples, and health care, finished in negative territory but held up relatively well. The consumer discretionary, communication services, and information technology sectors were the weakest performers. Shares of some major retailers fell sharply following earnings misses driven in part by overstocked inventories.

Inflation remained the leading concern for investors throughout the period. Despite hopes in 2021 that the problem was transitory, and later expectations that inflation would peak in the spring, headline consumer prices continued to grind higher throughout the first half of 2022. The war in Ukraine exacerbated already existing supply chain problems, and other factors, such as the impact of the fiscal and monetary stimulus enacted during the pandemic and strong consumer demand, also pushed prices higher. The May consumer price index report (the last to be issued during our reporting period) showed prices increasing 8.6% over the 12-month period, the largest jump since late 1981.

In response, the Federal Reserve, which at the end of 2021 had forecast that only three 25-basis-point (0.25 percentage point) rate hikes would be necessary in all of 2022, rapidly shifted in a hawkish direction and executed three rate increases in the first six months of the year. The policy moves included hikes of 25, 50, and 75 basis points—the largest single increase since 1994—increasing the central

bank’s short-term lending benchmark from near zero to a target range of 1.50% to 1.75% by the end of June. In addition, the Fed ended the purchases of Treasuries and agency mortgage-backed securities that it had begun to support the economy early in the pandemic and started reducing its balance sheet in June.

Longer-term bond yields also increased considerably as the Fed tightened monetary policy, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note reaching 3.49% on June 14, its highest level in more than a decade. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.) Higher mortgage rates led to signs of cooling in the housing market.

The economy continued to add jobs during the period, and other indicators pointed to a slowing but still expanding economy. However, the University of Michigan consumer sentiment index dropped in June to its lowest level since records began in 1978 as higher inflation expectations undermined confidence.

Looking ahead, investors are likely to remain focused on whether the Fed can tame inflation without sending the economy into recession, a backdrop that could produce continued volatility. We believe this environment makes skilled active management a critical tool for identifying risks and opportunities, and our investment teams will continue to use fundamental research to identify companies that can add value to your portfolio over the long term.

Thank you for your continued confidence in T. Rowe Price.

Sincerely,

Robert Sharps

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The fund seeks to provide long-term capital growth. Income is a secondary objective.

FUND COMMENTARY

How did the fund perform in the past six months?

The Blue Chip Growth ETF returned -33.69% (based on net asset value) and -33.75% (at market price) in the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. The fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, and also lagged the style-specific Russell 1000 Growth Index. The fund also trailed its peer group, the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index. (Past performance cannot guarantee future results.)

downward with a high degree of correlation, which is an unfavorable environment for us as stock pickers. Many of our high-conviction ideas found themselves down significantly at the midway point of the year as bearish sentiment and indiscriminate selling caused a disconnect between share prices and fundamentals in some cases.

In the communication services sector, several of our ad-dependent media holdings suffered. Shares of Meta Platforms sold off sharply after management revealed that the impact from Apple’s iOS privacy changes was more severe than expected. While we have confidence in the company’s mitigation efforts, Meta’s advanced, hyper-optimized advertising solutions mean that the company faces a deeper reset than others as it designs workarounds to restore the signal loss. Shares of Snap Inc. plunged after management signaled a significant drop in advertising demand with macro headwinds putting downward pressure on advertiser budgets. Idiosyncratic headwinds plagued other holdings within the sector. Shares of Sea traded lower in response to disappointing guidance around the gaming business, which has been impacted by the fading of pandemic tailwinds and India’s prohibition on the company’s most popular title due to Chinese investment. (Please refer to our portfolio of investments for a complete list of holdings and the amount each represents in the portfolio.)

The consumer discretionary sector was another source of weakness. Amazon.com, one of the portfolio’s largest holdings, was a significant detractor. Despite continued strength from the company’s cloud business, shares of Amazon.com traded lower as inflation headwinds to logistics and over-aggressive investments in capacity to meet pandemic-level demand weighed on near-term profitability. Shares of Carvana traded lower amid a challenging backdrop that included affordability concerns for consumers and negative sentiment around a capital raise and cost-cutting measures.

Information technology names were a particular target of investors concerned about an accelerated pace of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, which lessens the value of future cash flows. Shares of Microsoft dropped amid a broader pullback in technology names due to the Fed’s aggressive playbook on interest rates. The stock also suffered after the company cut its fourth-quarter guidance due to the expected impact of a strong U.S. dollar; the company generates a significant share of its revenue from countries that have seen their currency depreciate against the dollar. Shares of Apple tumbled after consumer spending data showed a decline in the sale of its hardware products for the month of May. Investors also feared a potential slowdown in discretionary and luxury spending that would take place during a recessionary environment.

How is the fund positioned?

Information technology remains our largest sector allocation. We were net sellers in the sector during the period, although we did find select pockets of opportunity. We sold out of our position in Fiserv on reduced risk/reward. The stock continued to suffer from negative sentiment regarding the potential disruption of the fintech space by new competitors. We also eliminated our position in Zoom Video Communications due to our diminished conviction in the medium-term growth outlook as lingering effects related to the reopening of the economy have negatively impacted earnings. Most of our significant purchases within the sector were focused on software names. We added to Bill.Com Holdings following a blowout earnings report highlighted by a stunning 197% year-over-year revenue growth figure, which was largely attributed to post-deal synergies in the wake of the company’s acquisition of Divvy in June 2021. We also purchased shares of enterprise software company Atlassian. We like the company’s strong management team, impressive product portfolio, and large opportunity set. We also appreciate the long growth runway Atlassian has as it benefits from emerging software development trends, cloud migration, and a low-cost flywheel sales model.

Consumer discretionary represented our largest source of purchasing activity during the first half of the year. As a result, the sector has grown into the fund’s second-largest weighting. Much of our trading activity within the sector was focused on revamping our exposure to electric vehicles (EVs). We added heavily to our position in Tesla, taking our position to a material overweight, reflecting an incrementally more constructive view as the leader in EVs has demonstrated its ability to ramp up production, even amid global supply chain disruptions, to meet increasing demand. We also purchased shares of Carvana, which continues to grow and take market share, despite near-term headwinds, while at the same time making accretive infrastructure acquisitions that enhance inventory selection, propel faster delivery times, and lower unit costs. We believe that Carvana will leverage its online retail platform and vertically integrated supply chain to disrupt and gain share of a highly fragmented used car market as it provides customers with a superior value proposition based on price and convenience. To fund these purchases, we sold shares of Rivian Automotive. The company’s production expansion proved more challenging than initially anticipated. Given supply constraints, inflationary pressure weighed on unit economics, and elevated cash burn added some risk to the production ramp timeline.

The third-largest sector weight is communication services, where we lean toward leaders in the secular shift to digital advertising, including Meta Platforms and Alphabet. We took down our exposure to these names in light of app tracking

transparency headwinds, which caused a signal loss for advertisers. We also sold shares of Netflix following the release of first-quarter earnings early in the period, which revealed that the streaming service’s global subscribership declined quarter over quarter for the first time in almost a decade. Management’s guidance of 2 million subscriber losses in the second quarter also contributed to the sell-off. Going forward, we will be closely monitoring the company’s trajectory of growth.

What is portfolio management’s outlook?

In the near term, we are expecting a bumpy ride until the Federal Reserve gets inflation under control. With interest rates rising, continued earnings gains will be needed to support positive returns, but higher wages and input costs, along with softer demand in some end markets, could pressure margins for many companies in the coming months. If we do find ourselves in a short-lived

recession because of aggressive Fed actions, that would not necessarily be a bad outcome over the long term since it would provide a hard reset and a better setup for many of our holdings with higher torque to subsequently outperform on the way up. In the meantime, we take comfort knowing that we own high-quality businesses—some that should provide defense if markets continue to skid and others that we believe have significant potential to outperform once inflation concerns are in the rear view.

RISKS OF STOCK INVESTING

The fund’s share price can fall because of weakness in the stock markets, a particular industry, or specific holdings. Stock markets can decline for many reasons, including adverse political or economic developments, changes in investor psychology, or heavy institutional selling. The prospects for an industry or company may deteriorate because of a variety of factors, including disappointing earnings or changes in the competitive environment. In addition, the investment manager’s assessment of companies held in a fund may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance, even in rising markets.

RISKS OF GROWTH INVESTING

Growth stocks can be volatile for several reasons. Since these companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their businesses, they may lack the dividends of value stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. Also, earnings disappointments often lead to sharply falling prices because investors buy growth stocks in anticipation of superior earnings growth.

GROWTH OF $10,000

This chart shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds lacking 10-year records). The result is compared with benchmarks, which include a broad-based market index and may also include a peer group average or index. Market indexes do not include expenses, which are deducted from fund returns as well as mutual fund averages and indexes.

EXPENSE RATIO

12

T. ROWE PRICE BLUE CHIP GROWTH ETF

FUND EXPENSE EXAMPLE

As a shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions on purchases and sales, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent six-month period and held for the entire period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the following table (Actual) provides information about actual account values and expenses based on the fund’s actual returns. You may use the information on this line, together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The information on the second line of the table (Hypothetical) is based on hypothetical account values and expenses derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the fund’s actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of shares. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. To the extent a fund charges transaction costs, however, the total cost of owning that fund is higher.

    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    

T. Rowe Price Exchange-Traded Funds, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The Blue Chip Growth ETF (the fund) is a non-diversified, open-end management investment company established by the corporation. The fund seeks to provide long-term capital growth. Income is a secondary objective.

The fund is considered an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that does not disclose its portfolio holdings daily, which is different from a traditional ETF and may create additional risks. In order to provide market participants with information on the fund’s investments, the fund publishes a “Proxy Portfolio” on its website daily. A Proxy Portfolio is a basket of securities that is designed to closely track the daily performance of the fund’s portfolio holdings. While the Proxy Portfolio includes some of the fund’s holdings, it is not the fund’s actual portfolio. The fund does disclose its full portfolio holdings on a quarterly basis, similar to mutual funds.

NOTE  1  –   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 (ASC 946). The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), including, but not limited to, ASC 946. GAAP requires the use of estimates made by management. Management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately realized upon sale or maturity.

Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date basis. Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Income tax-related interest and penalties, if incurred, are recorded as income tax expense. Dividends received from other investment companies are reflected as dividend income; capital gain distributions are reflected as realized gain/loss. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the asset received. Distributions to shareholders are

25

T. ROWE PRICE BLUE CHIP GROWTH ETF

recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. A capital gain distribution may also be declared and paid by the fund annually. Dividends and distributions cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund.

Capital Share Transactions

The fund issues and redeems shares at its net asset value (NAV) only with Authorized Participants and only in large blocks of 5,000 shares (each, a “Creation Unit”). The fund’s NAV per share is computed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). However, the NAV per share may be calculated at a time other than the normal close of the NYSE if trading on the NYSE is restricted, if the NYSE closes earlier, or as may be permitted by the SEC. Individual fund shares may not be purchased or redeemed directly with the fund. An Authorized Participant may purchase or redeem a Creation Unit of the fund each business day that the fund is open in exchange for the delivery of a designated portfolio of in-kind securities and/or cash. When purchasing or redeeming Creation Units, Authorized Participants are also required to pay a fixed and/or variable purchase or redemption transaction fee as well as any applicable additional variable charge to defray the transaction cost to a fund.

Individual fund shares may be purchased and sold only on a national securities exchange through brokers. Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (NYSE Arca) and because the shares will trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at prices greater than NAV (at a premium), at NAV, or less than NAV (at a discount). The fund’s shares are ordinarily valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day that the NYSE Arca is open.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the fund may provide indemnification in connection with its officers and directors, service providers, and/or private company investments. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the risk of material loss is currently considered to be remote.

NOTE  2  –   VALUATION

Security Valuation

The fund’s financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee (the Valuation Committee) is an internal committee that has been delegated certain responsibilities by the fund’s Board

26

T. ROWE PRICE BLUE CHIP GROWTH ETF

of Directors (the Board) to ensure that financial instruments are appropriately priced at fair value in accordance with GAAP and the 1940 Act. Subject to oversight by the Board, the Valuation Committee develops and oversees pricing-related policies and procedures and approves all fair value determinations. Specifically, the Valuation Committee establishes policies and procedures used in valuing financial instruments, including those which cannot be valued in accordance with normal procedures or using pricing vendors; determines pricing techniques, sources, and persons eligible to effect fair value pricing actions; evaluates the services and performance of the pricing vendors; oversees the pricing process to ensure policies and procedures are being followed; and provides guidance on internal controls and valuation-related matters. The Valuation Committee provides periodic reporting to the Board on valuation matters.

Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1  –  quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the fund can access at the reporting date

Level 2  –  inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads)

Level 3  –  unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value)

Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values.

27

T. ROWE PRICE BLUE CHIP GROWTH ETF

Valuation Techniques

Equity securities, including exchange-traded funds, listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange or in the over-the-counter (OTC) market are valued at the last quoted sale price or, for certain markets, the official closing price at the time the valuations are made. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Listed securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices for domestic securities and the last quoted sale or closing price for international securities.

Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund’s closing NAV per share on the day of valuation. Assets and liabilities other than financial instruments, including short-term receivables and payables, are carried at cost, or estimated realizable value, if less, which approximates fair value.

Investments for which market quotations or market-based valuations are not readily available or deemed unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee, in accordance with fair valuation policies and procedures. The objective of any fair value pricing determination is to arrive at a price that could reasonably be expected from a current sale. Financial instruments fair valued by the Valuation Committee are primarily private placements, restricted securities, warrants, rights, and other securities that are not publicly traded. Factors used in determining fair value vary by type of investment and may include market or investment specific considerations. The Valuation Committee typically will afford greatest weight to actual prices in arm’s length transactions, to the extent they represent orderly transactions between market participants, transaction information can be reliably obtained, and prices are deemed representative of fair value. However, the Valuation Committee may also consider other valuation methods such as market-based valuation multiples; a discount or premium from market value of a similar, freely traded security of the same issuer; discounted cash flows; yield to maturity; or some combination. Fair value determinations are reviewed on a regular basis and updated as information becomes available, including actual purchase and sale transactions of the investment. Because any fair value determination involves a significant amount of judgment, there is a degree of subjectivity inherent in such pricing decisions, and fair value prices determined by the Valuation Committee could differ from those of other market participants.

Valuation Inputs

On June 30, 2022, all of the fund’s financial instruments were classified as Level 1, based on the inputs used to determine their fair values.

NOTE  3  –   OTHER INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of portfolio securities excluding in-kind transactions and short-term securities aggregated $18,471,000 and $18,501,000, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Portfolio securities received or delivered through in-kind transactions aggregated $103,551,000 and $52,030,900, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

NOTE  4  –   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. Distributions determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are not adjusted for temporary differences. The amount and character of tax-basis distributions and composition of net assets are finalized at fiscal year-end; accordingly, tax-basis balances have not been determined as of the date of this report.

At June 30, 2022, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $283,556,000. Net unrealized loss aggregated $61,597,000 at period-end, of which $2,904,000 related to appreciated investments and $64,500,000 related to depreciated investments.

NOTE  5  –   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (Price Group). The investment management and administrative agreement between the fund and Price Associates provides for an all-inclusive annual fee equal to 0.57% of the fund’s average daily net assets. The fee is computed daily and paid monthly. The all-inclusive fee covers investment management services and ordinary, recurring operating expenses, but does not cover interest and borrowing expenses; taxes; brokerage commissions and other transaction costs; fund proxy expenses; and nonrecurring expenses.

As of June 30, 2022, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., or its wholly owned subsidiaries, owned 600,000 shares of the fund, representing 6% of the fund’s net assets.

29

T. ROWE PRICE BLUE CHIP GROWTH ETF

The fund may participate in securities purchase and sale transactions with other funds or accounts advised by Price Associates (cross trades), in accordance with procedures adopted by the fund’s Board and Securities and Exchange Commission rules, which require, among other things, that such purchase and sale cross trades be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the fund had no purchases or sales cross trades with other funds or acccounts advised by Price Associates.

Price Associates has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the fund from its own resources on a monthly basis for the cost of investment research embedded in the cost of the fund’s securities trades. This agreement may be rescinded at any time. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, this reimbursement amounted to $1,000, which is included in Net realized gain (loss) on Securities in the Statement of Operations.

NOTE  6  –   OTHER MATTERS

Unpredictable events such as environmental or natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases, and similar public health threats may significantly affect the economy and the markets and issuers in which a fund invests. Certain events may cause instability across global markets, including reduced liquidity and disruptions in trading markets, while some events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors, and industries more significantly than others, and exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, and economic risks. Since 2020, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) has resulted in disruptions to global business activity and caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets. In February 2022, Russian forces entered Ukraine and commenced an armed conflict leading to economic sanctions being imposed on Russia and certain of its citizens, creating impacts on Russian-related stocks and debt and greater volatility in global markets. These are recent examples of global events which may have an impact on the fund’s performance, which could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by these and such other events. Management is actively monitoring the risks and financial impacts arising from these events.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

Each year, the fund’s Board of Directors (Board) considers the continuation of the investment management agreement (Advisory Contract) between the fund and its investment adviser, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Adviser). In that regard, at a meeting held on March 7–8, 2022 (Meeting), the Board, including all of the fund’s independent directors, approved the continuation of the fund’s Advisory Contract. At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of the Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Contract. The independent directors were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Contract by independent legal counsel from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.

In providing information to the Board, the Adviser was guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted by independent legal counsel on behalf of the independent directors. In considering and approving the Advisory Contract, the Board considered the information it believed was relevant, including, but not limited to, the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with the Adviser about various topics. The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the T. Rowe Price funds’ advisory contracts, including performance and the services and support provided to the funds and their shareholders.

Services Provided by the Adviser

The Board considered the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the fund by the Adviser. These services included, but were not limited to, directing the fund’s investments in accordance with its investment program and the overall management of the fund’s portfolio, as well as a variety of related activities such as financial, investment operations, and administrative services; compliance; maintaining the fund’s records and registrations; and shareholder communications. The Board also reviewed the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management team and investment personnel involved in the management of the fund, as well as the Adviser’s compliance record. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided by the Adviser.

Investment Performance of the Fund

The Board took into account discussions with the Adviser and reports that it receives throughout the year relating to fund performance. In connection with the Meeting, the Board reviewed the fund’s total returns for various periods through June 30, 2022, and compared these returns with the performance of a peer group of funds with similar

32

T. ROWE PRICE BLUE CHIP GROWTH ETF

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (continued)

investment programs and a wide variety of other previously agreed-upon comparable performance measures and market data, including relative performance information as of September 30, 2021, supplied by Broadridge, which is an independent provider of mutual fund data.

On the basis of this evaluation and the Board’s ongoing review of investment results, and factoring in the relative market conditions during certain of the performance periods, the Board concluded that the fund’s performance was satisfactory.

Costs, Benefits, Profits, and Economies of Scale

The Board reviewed detailed information regarding the revenues received by the Adviser under the Advisory Contract and other direct and indirect benefits that the Adviser (and its affiliates) may have realized from its relationship with the fund. In considering soft-dollar arrangements pursuant to which research may be received from broker-dealers that execute the fund’s portfolio transactions, the Board noted that the Adviser bears the cost of research services for all client accounts that it advises, including the T. Rowe Price funds. The Board received information on the estimated costs incurred and profits realized by the Adviser from managing the T. Rowe Price mutual funds and ETFs. The Board also reviewed estimates of the profits realized from managing the fund in particular, and the Board concluded that the Adviser’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the fund.

The Board also considered whether the fund benefits under the fee levels set forth in the Advisory Contract or otherwise from any economies of scale realized by the Adviser. Under the Advisory Contract, the fund pays the Adviser an all-inclusive management fee based on the fund’s average daily net assets. The all-inclusive management fee includes investment management services and provides for the Adviser to pay all of the fund’s ordinary, recurring operating expenses except for interest and borrowing expenses, taxes, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, fund proxy expenses, and any nonrecurring extraordinary expenses that may arise. The Adviser has generally implemented an all-inclusive management fee structure in situations where a fixed total expense ratio is useful for purposes of providing certainty of fees and expenses for investors, and such a fee structure is typically used by other ETFs offered by competitors. The Adviser has historically sought to set the initial all-inclusive management fee rate at levels below the expense ratios of comparable funds to take into account potential future economies of scale. In addition, the assets of the fund are included in the calculation of the group fee rate, which serves as a component of the management fee for many T. Rowe Price funds and declines at certain asset levels based on the combined average net assets of most of the T. Rowe Price funds. Although the fund does not have a group fee component to its management fee, its assets are included in the calculation because certain resources utilized to operate the fund are shared with other T. Rowe Price funds. The Board concluded that the advisory fee structure for the fund continued to be appropriate.

33

T. ROWE PRICE BLUE CHIP GROWTH ETF

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (continued)

Fees and Expenses

The Board was provided with information regarding industry trends in management fees and expenses. Among other things, the Board reviewed data for peer groups that were compiled by Broadridge, which compared: (i) actual management fees, nonmanagement expenses, and total expenses of the fund with a group of competitor funds selected by Broadridge (Expense Group) and (ii) actual management fees, nonmanagement expenses, and total expenses of the fund with a broader set of funds within the Lipper investment classification (Expense Universe). The Board considered the fund’s actual management fee rate and total expenses in comparison with the information for the Broadridge peer groups. Broadridge generally constructed the peer groups by seeking the most comparable funds based on similar investment classifications and objectives, expense structure, asset size, and operating components and attributes and ranked funds into quintiles, with the first quintile representing the funds with the lowest relative expenses and the fifth quintile representing the funds with the highest relative expenses. The information provided to the Board indicated that the fund’s actual management fee rate ranked in the second quintile (Expense Group and Expense Universe), and the fund’s total expenses ranked in the second quintile (Expense Group and Expense Universe).

The Board also reviewed the fee schedules for other investment portfolios with similar mandates that are advised or subadvised by the Adviser and its affiliates, including separately managed accounts for institutional and individual investors; subadvised funds; and other sponsored investment portfolios, including collective investment trusts and pooled vehicles organized and offered to investors outside the United States. Management provided the Board with information about the Adviser’s responsibilities and services provided to subadvisory and other institutional account clients, including information about how the requirements and economics of the institutional business are fundamentally different from those of the proprietary mutual fund business. The Board considered information showing that the Adviser’s mutual fund business is generally more complex from a business and compliance perspective than its institutional account business and considered various relevant factors, such as the broader scope of operations and oversight, more extensive shareholder communication infrastructure, greater asset flows, heightened business risks, and differences in applicable laws and regulations associated with the Adviser’s proprietary mutual fund business. In assessing the reasonableness of the fund’s management fee rate, the Board considered the differences in the nature of the services required for the Adviser to manage its mutual fund business versus managing a discrete pool of assets as a subadviser to another institution’s mutual fund or for an institutional account and that the Adviser generally performs significant additional services and assumes greater risk in managing the fund and other T. Rowe Price funds than it does for institutional account clients, including subadvised funds.

On the basis of the information provided and the factors considered, the Board concluded that the fees paid by the fund under the Advisory Contract are reasonable.

34

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (continued)

Approval of the Advisory Contract

As noted, the Board approved the continuation of the Advisory Contract. No single factor was considered in isolation or to be determinative to the decision. Rather, the Board concluded, in light of a weighting and balancing of all factors considered, that it was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders for the Board to approve the continuation of the Advisory Contract (including the fees to be charged for services thereunder).
