T. ROWE PRICE DIVIDEND GROWTH ETF

HIGHLIGHTS

■	The Dividend Growth ETF posted a strong return but lagged the S&P 500 Index for the 12 months ended December 31, 2021.
■	An underweight allocation and stock selection in the information technology sector hurt relative returns, as did an overweight to the industrials and business services sector.
■	The fund’s largest sector allocations are in information technology, health care, and financials, where we continue to find compelling risk/reward opportunities.
■	Going forward, we expect growth to normalize and equity markets to generate more modest returns, driven by earnings growth and dividends, with valuation a potential headwind.
■	We continue to seek out attractively valued companies that are well positioned to emerge from the pandemic with lasting competitive advantages, while avoiding firms that face secular challenges.

Market Commentary

Dear Shareholders

Major stock and bond indexes produced mixed results during 2021 as strong corporate earnings growth and a recovering economy contended with worries about inflation, new coronavirus variants, and less accommodative central banks. Most developed market stock benchmarks finished the year with positive returns, although gains slowed in the second half of the year, while fixed income returns faced headwinds from rising interest rates.

Large-cap U.S. growth stocks delivered the strongest returns, but solid results were common in many developed markets. However, emerging markets stock benchmarks struggled amid a significant equity market downturn in China.

The large-cap S&P 500 Index returned almost 29%, marking its third straight year of positive returns. Robust results were widespread across the benchmark—according to Bloomberg data, 2021 marked the first year that all of the S&P 500 sectors recorded double-digit gains. The energy sector, which was the worst performer in 2020, was the leader in 2021 amid a sharp increase in oil prices, and real estate stocks also rebounded from a down year as strong demand led to rising rents. Financial and information technology stocks also produced excellent returns and outperformed the broad market.

In the fixed income market, rising Treasury yields weighed on performance, but below investment-grade corporate bonds delivered solid results as they benefited from improving fundamentals and investor demand for higher-yielding securities. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.)

A robust increase in corporate earnings growth appeared to be a significant performance driver during the year. According to FactSet, overall earnings for the S&P 500 rose 89% in the second quarter of 2021 versus the year before, the fastest pace since 2009, and while third-quarter earnings slowed, they continued to beat expectations at an impressive pace. Despite the significant rally in the S&P 500 during 2021, the index’s price/earnings ratio actually fell over that period as earnings rose faster than stock prices. Although economic growth showed signs of slowing at times, data remained generally positive through the end of the period. The unemployment rate, which started the year at 6.7%, fell to 3.9% by December, and job openings reached a record high.

However, optimism surrounding strong earnings and employment gains was tempered by inflation concerns. Prices surged as the release of pent-up demand and supply chain disruptions contributed to higher inflation around the globe.

T. ROWE PRICE DIVIDEND GROWTH ETF

In the U.S., the 6.8% increase in the consumer price index for the 12-month period ended in November was the highest level since 1982, a factor that may have contributed to a decline in consumer sentiment late in the year.

Meanwhile, central banks began to move away from the extremely accommodative policies they instituted in response to the initial wave of the coronavirus. The Federal Reserve began trimming its purchases of Treasuries and agency mortgage-backed securities in November, and policymakers indicated that they could soon start raising short-term interest rates.

How markets respond to the normalization of monetary policy is an open question. While fading stimulus might pose some challenges for investors, I believe it could contribute to a return of price sensitivity in global markets, which bodes well for selective investors focused on fundamentals.

Elevated valuations, higher inflation, and the continuing struggle to control the pandemic also pose potential challenges for financial markets in 2022. However, on the positive side, household wealth gains, pent-up consumer demand, and a potential boom in capital expenditures could sustain growth even as monetary policy turns less supportive. In this environment, our investment teams will remain focused on using 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

President and CEO

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The fund seeks dividend income and long-term capital growth.

FUND COMMENTARY

How did the fund perform in the past 12 months?

The Dividend Growth ETF’s market price and net asset value returned 26.20% and 26.09%, respectively, for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2021. The portfolio underperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, but performed in line with its peer group, the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index. The fund outperformed its style-specific, dividend-growth-focused benchmark, the NASDAQ US Broad Dividend Achievers Index. (Past performance cannot guarantee future results.)

What factors influenced the fund’s performance?

Stocks posted robust gains through 2021, with the broad market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, recording a 28.71% 12-month return, while the NASDAQ US Broad Dividend Achievers Index, the fund’s style-specific benchmark, gained

PERFORMANCE COMPARISON

T. ROWE PRICE DIVIDEND GROWTH ETF

23.84%. The fund delivered strong absolute performance, but our risk-aware focus on high-quality dividend growers lagged as the broader market withstood periodic volatility and major indexes posted record highs throughout the year. Against a backdrop of a broad rally across market segments, our preference for dividend-paying stocks, which tend to be inherently less volatile, contributed to short-term underperformance, particularly in the information technology and communication services sectors, where non-dividend-paying companies led gains.

Information technology sector holdings hurt our relative performance due to a combination of our underweight allocation and stock selection. Our position in Fidelity National Information Services weighed on returns for the year as the shares declined on concerns over increased competition from fast-growing competitors. In our view, these headwinds appear overstated, and we took advantage of this recent weakness to build our position. We remain constructive on the company for its industry-leading position and defensive earnings growth profile, which stands to benefit from executing deal-related synergies. (Please refer to the fund’s portfolio of investments for a complete list of our holdings and the amount each represents in the portfolio.)

An overweight allocation to the industrials and business services sector also had a modest negative impact. Despite generating strong double-digit returns, the sector lagged in a market that heavily favored sectors more closely levered to the economic recovery such as energy, real estate, and financials.

Stock selection in the communication services sector weighed on relative performance, although this impact was largely offset by our favorable underweight allocation. Several of the benchmark’s top-performing stocks in the communication services sector are names that do not pay dividends and do not intend to initiate them. Not owning Alphabet, the parent company of Google, hurt our relative performance. Shares of the company surged over the year driven by impressive revenue from its advertising business. We don’t own the stock because it does not fit our dividend mandate.

Comcast posted a modest negative return and underperformed sector peers for the year. Shares turned lower late in the period after the company’s CEO indicated expectations for slightly slower growth in the broadband segment. In part, this deceleration is a result of growth in internet services during the prior year when the impact of the pandemic was most pronounced. We continue to like Comcast for the strength in its cable division, consistent cash flow growth, and relatively modest valuation.

The financials sector continues to be one of our largest absolute sector weights, and our choice of stocks in the space added value. Our top holding in the sector is Marsh & McLennan, the world’s largest property and casualty insurance

broker and a leading consultant. The company has benefited throughout the year from momentum in the insurance rate cycle, which has pushed premiums higher and contributed to revenue growth. Shares advanced in the fourth quarter on the heels of particularly strong earnings highlighted by robust organic revenue growth. We also hold a notable position in discount brokerage firm Charles Schwab. Shares of the company delivered robust gains and outpaced sector peers, particularly late in the period, due to strong earnings and revenue growth driven by elevated trading activity.

Stock selection drove strong relative returns in the health care sector. Our position in Danaher was the top contributor in the sector. Danaher designs, manufactures, and markets professional, medical, industrial, and commercial products and services worldwide. Shares continued their recent run of strength and outpaced sector peers as revenue tailwinds from COVID-related demand have proven durable. While we pared our position on strength during the year, we continue to like the company for its highly diversified business model, broad exposure to end markets with secular growth or low cyclicality, and strong management team.

How is the fund positioned?

As shown in the Sector Diversification table, the fund’s largest allocations at the end of the period were in information technology, health care, and financials, which represent a little more than half of the portfolio’s net assets. These are sectors where we believe we can find high-quality companies with sustainable competitive advantages, durable business models, attractive valuations, and potential for strong dividend growth.

The information technology sector is our largest allocation but remains a significant underweight relative to the S&P 500 Index. We reduced our weighting during the period, taking profits from several of our strongest-performing holdings and reallocating the proceeds where we saw better long-term opportunities. Shares of Apple posted strong double-digit growth over the year, and we pared our position on strength. We also trimmed our position in Visa, a global leader in the payments industry. We still like its exposure to the ongoing economic recovery, secular growth prospects in electronic payments, and high margins. While we also value Visa for its pricing power and capacity to generate free cash flow, market concerns over competition, shifting consumer trends, and an above-average valuation contributed to our decision to pare the position size.

In the financials sector, we look to own high-quality companies that have strong balance sheets, diversified revenue streams, and leading industry positions. In the first half of the year, we initiated a position in Bank of America, which is one of the four largest U.S. money center banks. We continued to build this position

T. ROWE PRICE DIVIDEND GROWTH ETF

over the year, and our purchases here represent the largest for the portfolio over the period. The bank is a major player in U.S. retail financial services with a large proportion of its business generated from consumer banking, trading, and global banking. We believe the company’s solid fundamentals and steady revenue generation offer downside protection, while its well-balanced business model can produce steady above-average growth. We also like that Bank of America is heavily exposed to the U.S. consumer, where prospects for economic growth remain above average. The bank appears well positioned to benefit from a rising interest rate environment.

Concurrently, we trimmed our position in JPMorgan Chase. Recent strength created an opportunity to take profits, although our position in the company remains among our largest in the sector. We also exited our position in PNC Financial Services. The stock generated strong longer-term performance for the portfolio, and we reallocated proceeds to other opportunities in the financials sector that offer a more compelling risk/reward opportunity.

The health care sector continues to play a significant role in the portfolio, as we

SECTOR DIVERSIFICATION

T. ROWE PRICE DIVIDEND GROWTH ETF

believe certain industries offer compelling, relatively stable growth potential. Early in the year we initiated a position in AstraZeneca, a global biopharmaceutical company. The firm had continued a run of strong execution, delivering on margin expansion, improving free cash flow, and investing heavily in its research and development pipeline, and we identified compelling opportunities to add to our position throughout the year. The company is also in the early stages of a new product cycle, which we believe can generate above-average growth for several years.

What is portfolio management’s outlook?

The U.S. economy is on solid footing and has been supported by a largely successful COVID-19 vaccine distribution combined with unprecedented monetary and fiscal support. The economic recovery has proven to be resilient, withstanding pressure from inflation, coronavirus variants, and the prospect for higher interest rates as monetary policy tightens. After back-to-back years of remarkable gains, equity markets face more uncertain prospects in 2022.

A protracted period of strong returns has left valuations extended across most market segments, with attractive opportunities harder to come by. Earnings growth appears to have peaked, and we expect growth to normalize, particularly as the tailwind from fiscal stimulus fades. Looking ahead, we would not be surprised to see a choppier environment in the coming quarters with more modest market returns.

We are also closely watching inflation, which seems to be persisting at a relatively high level, despite consensus expectations earlier in the year that it would recede. While debate continues over whether this uptick in inflation is transitory or more durable, we believe it poses a real headwind for companies and consumers alike in the current market. We are spending time with all the companies we own on this topic to better understand their ability to protect income streams through pricing power. Should inflation prove to be a longer-term issue, dividend growth stocks remain an attractive hedge for investors.

As always, our focus is on buying and holding high-quality companies that are expected to grow their dividends. We will continue to look for companies that can control costs effectively but also enjoy solid revenue growth. Stock selection is expected to be our primary relative performance driver over the long term, and we are confident that our in-depth independent research and collaborative investment approach can add value. The Dividend Growth ETF will continue to reflect a collection of high-quality, larger-cap, primarily U.S.-based companies with strong earnings and cash flows that offer a combination of capital appreciation and income growth for our shareholders.

RISKS OF STOCK INVESTING

A fund’s share price can fall because of weakness in the stock or bond 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. Funds investing in stocks with a dividend orientation may have somewhat lower potential for price appreciation than those concentrating on rapidly growing firms. Also, a company may reduce or eliminate its dividend.

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

T. ROWE PRICE DIVIDEND 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 Dividend Growth ETF (the fund) is a diversified, open-end management investment company established by the corporation. The fund incepted on August 4, 2020. The fund seeks dividend income and long-term capital growth.

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. Distributions from REITs are initially recorded as dividend income and, to the extent such represent a return of capital or capital gain for tax purposes, are reclassified when such information becomes

26

T. ROWE PRICE DIVIDEND GROWTH ETF

available. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the asset received. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. 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

27

T. ROWE PRICE DIVIDEND GROWTH ETF

an internal committee that has been delegated certain responsibilities by the fund’s Board 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.

28

T. ROWE PRICE DIVIDEND 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. OTC Bulletin Board securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices. 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.

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 December 31, 2021, all of the fund’s financial instruments were classified as Level 1, based on the inputs used to determine their fair values.

29

T. ROWE PRICE DIVIDEND GROWTH ETF

NOTE  3  –   OTHER INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of portfolio securities excluding in-kind transactions and short-term securities aggregated $8,994,000 and $9,595,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2021. Portfolio securities received or delivered through in-kind transactions aggregated $70,865,000 and $665,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2021.

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.

The fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return but which can be extended to six years in certain circumstances. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.

Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are not adjusted for temporary differences. The permanent book/tax adjustments have no impact on results of operations or net assets and relate primarily to redemptions in kind and the character of dividends received from real estate investment trusts (REITs). For the year ended December 31, 2021, the following reclassification was recorded:

($000s)
Total distributable earnings (loss)	$(209)
Paid-in capital	209

Distributions during the year and period ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, totaled $762,000 and $118,000, respectively, and were characterized as ordinary income for tax purposes. At December 31, 2021, the tax-basis cost of investments and components of net assets were as follows:

30

T. ROWE PRICE DIVIDEND GROWTH ETF

($000s)
Cost of investments	$106,561
Unrealized appreciation	$20,849
Unrealized depreciation	(707)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	20,142
Undistributed ordinary income	18
Capital loss carryforwards	(114)
Paid-in capital	106,765
Net assets	$126,811

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable to the deferral of losses from wash sales and/or treatment of non-taxable distributions from REITs for tax purposes. The fund intends to retain realized gains to the extent of available capital loss carryforwards. Net realized capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future realized capital gains.

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 0.50% 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 December 31, 2021, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., or its wholly owned subsidiaries, owned 600,000 shares of the fund, representing 17% of the fund’s net assets.

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 year ended December 31, 2021, fund had no purchases or sales cross trades with other funds or accounts advised by Price Associates.

31

T. ROWE PRICE DIVIDEND GROWTH ETF

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 year ended December 31, 2021, this reimbursement amounted to less than $1,000.

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. The fund’s performance could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by such events. 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. The duration of this outbreak or others and their effects cannot be determined with certainty.

35

T. ROWE PRICE DIVIDEND GROWTH ETF

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

In accordance with Rule 22e-4 (Liquidity Rule) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the fund has established a liquidity risk management program (Liquidity Program) reasonably designed to assess and manage the fund’s liquidity risk, which generally represents the risk that the fund would not be able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The fund’s Board of Directors (Board) has appointed the fund’s investment advisor, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), as the administrator of the Liquidity Program. As administrator, Price Associates is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Liquidity Program and, among other things, is responsible for assessing, managing, and reviewing with the Board at least annually the liquidity risk of each T. Rowe Price fund. Price Associates has delegated oversight of the Liquidity Program to a Liquidity Risk Committee (LRC), which is a cross-functional committee composed of personnel from multiple departments within Price Associates.

The Liquidity Program’s principal objectives include supporting the T. Rowe Price funds’ compliance with limits on investments in illiquid assets and mitigating the risk that the fund will be unable to timely meet its redemption obligations. The Liquidity Program also includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including an annual assessment of factors that influence the fund’s liquidity and the periodic classification and reclassification of a fund’s investments into categories that reflect the LRC’s assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. Under the Liquidity Program, every investment held by the fund is classified at least monthly into one of four liquidity categories based on estimations of the investment’s ability to be sold during designated time frames in current market conditions without significantly changing the investment’s market value.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, at a meeting held on July 27, 2021, the Board was presented with an annual assessment prepared by the LRC, on behalf of Price Associates, that addressed the operation of the Liquidity Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including any material changes to the Liquidity Program and the determination of each fund’s Highly Liquid Investment Minimum (HLIM). The annual assessment included consideration of the following factors, as applicable: the fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, including whether the investment strategy is appropriate for an open-end fund, the extent to which the strategy involves a relatively concentrated portfolio or large positions in particular issuers, and the use of borrowings for investment purposes and derivatives; short-term and long-term cash flow projections covering both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as available borrowing arrangements.

For the fund and other T. Rowe Price funds, the annual assessment incorporated a report related to a fund’s holdings, shareholder and portfolio concentration, any borrowings during the period, cash flow projections, and other relevant data for the period of April 1, 2020, through March 31, 2021. The report described the methodology for classifying a

36

T. ROWE PRICE DIVIDEND GROWTH ETF

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (continued)

fund’s investments (including derivative transactions) into one of four liquidity categories, as well as the percentage of a fund’s investments assigned to each category. It also explained the methodology for establishing a fund’s HLIM and noted that the LRC reviews the HLIM assigned to each fund no less frequently than annually.

During the period covered by the annual assessment, the LRC has concluded, and reported to the Board, that the Liquidity Program continues to operate adequately and effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the fund’s liquidity risk.
