Innovator Capital Management, LLC (Innovator), the Defined Outcome
ETFs™ pioneer, today announced the anticipated upside cap ranges
and return profiles for the December series of the U.S. Equity
Buffer ETFs™ – Innovator U.S. Equity Buffer ETF™ – December
(BDEC), Innovator U.S. Equity Power Buffer ETF™ – December (PDEC)
and Innovator U.S. Equity Ultra Buffer ETF™ – December
(UDEC) – which are scheduled to complete their third annual
outcome period and reset at the end of the month. The 36 total ETFs
in the flagship U.S. Equity Buffer ETF lineup seek to provide
investors with upside participation, to a cap, in Large-cap U.S.
stocks via options on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) with
buffers against market losses of 9%, 15% or 30% over one-year
periods. With the stock market drawdown in 2022, the December
series of Innovator’s U.S. Equity Buffer ETFs have shielded
investors who have held shares since the beginning of the current
outcome period from a portion of SPY losses to date.

* The Estimated Cap Ranges above are based on
the highest and lowest Cap as illustrated by the Funds’ strategy
from 10/25/2022-11/22/2022 and are shown gross of the 0.79%
management fee. The actual Cap for each Fund will be set at the
beginning of the Outcome Period, and is dependent upon market
conditions at that time. Periods of high market volatility could
result in higher caps, and lower volatility could result in lower
caps. As a result, the Cap set by each Fund may be higher or lower
than the Estimated Cap Range. “Cap” refers to the maximum potential
return, before fees and expenses and any shareholder transaction
fees and any extraordinary expenses, if held over the full Outcome
Period. **“Buffer” refers to the amount of downside protection the
fund seeks to provide, before fees and expenses, over the full
Outcome Period. Outcome Period is the intended length of time over
which the defined outcomes are sought. Upon commencement of the
Outcome Period, the Caps can be found on a daily basis via
www.innovatoretfs.com.
The December series of the Innovator U.S. Equity
Buffer ETFs™ (BDEC; PDEC; UDEC) currently have a remaining outcome
period of about one week. Investors who purchase prior to the
rebalance will be fully invested for the next outcome period,
obtaining new upside caps and downside buffers for the 12-month
period commencing December 1, 2022. The ETFs reset annually and can
be held indefinitely. For additional information, visit the
Innovator Defined Outcome ETF Pricing Tool.

About Innovator Defined Outcome
ETFs™ Defined Outcome ETFs™ are the world’s first ETFs
that seek to provide investors with known ranges of future
investment outcomes prior to investing. These outcome ranges
include multiple and single upside exposure, to a cap, with defined
levels of downside risk with buffers and floors over a set amount
of time. The Innovator Defined Outcome ETFs™ cover a large spectrum
of domestic and international equities and bonds. Innovator’s
category-creating Defined Outcome ETF™ family includes Buffer
ETFs™, Stacker ETFs™ and Floor ETFs™.
The Buffer ETFs™ seek to provide the upside
performance of broadly recognized benchmarks (e.g., SPY, QQQ, IWM,
EFA, and EEM, as well as TLT) to a cap, with built-in buffers, over
an outcome period of one year. The ETFs reset annually and can be
held indefinitely.
Each Buffer ETF™ in Innovator’s Defined Outcome
ETF™ suite seeks to provide a defined exposure to a broad market
benchmark where the downside buffer level, upside growth potential
to a cap, and Outcome Period are all known, prior to investing. In
2019, Innovator began expanding its suite of U.S. Equity Buffer
ETFs™ into a monthly series to provide investors more opportunities
to purchase shares as close to the beginning of their respective
Outcome Periods as possible.
Investors can purchase shares of a previously
listed Defined Outcome ETF™ throughout the entire Outcome Period,
obtaining a current set of defined outcome parameters, which are
disclosed daily through a web tool available at:
http://innovatoretfs.com/define.
Innovator is focused on delivering defined
outcome-based solutions inside the benefit-rich ETF wrapper,
retaining many of the features that have contributed to the success
of structured products4 (e.g., downside buffer levels, upside
participation, defined outcome parameters), but with the added
benefits of transparency, liquidity, the elimination of credit
risk5 and lower costs afforded by the ETF structure.

Interim Period Shareholders
Unlike structured notes, which offer limited
liquidity, Innovator Defined Outcome ETFs™ trade throughout the day
on an exchange, like a stock. As a result, investors purchasing
shares of a Fund after its launch date may achieve a different
payoff profile than those who entered the Fund on day one.
Innovator recognizes this as a benefit of the Funds and provides a
web-based tool that allows investors to know, in real-time
throughout the trading day, their potential defined outcome return
profile before they invest, based on the current ETF price and the
Outcome Period remaining. Innovator’s web tool can be accessed at
http://www.innovatoretfs.com/define.
Although each Fund seeks to achieve the
defined outcomes stated in its investment objective, there is no
guarantee that it will do so. The returns that the Funds seek to
provide do not include the costs associated with purchasing shares
of the Fund and certain expenses incurred by the Fund.
Investing involves risks. Loss of
principal is possible. The Funds face numerous market
trading risks, including active markets risk, authorized
participation concentration risk, buffered loss risk, cap change
risk, capped upside return risk, correlation risk, liquidity risk,
management risk, market maker risk, market risk,
non-diversification risk, operation risk, options risk, trading
issues risk, upside participation risk and valuation risk. For a
detail list of fund risks see the prospectus.
Foreign and Emerging Markets
Risk. Non-U.S. securities and Emerging Markets are subject
to higher volatility than securities of domestic issuers due to
possible adverse political, social or economic developments,
restrictions on foreign investment or exchange of securities, lack
of liquidity, currency exchange rates, excessive taxation,
government seizure of assets, different legal or accounting
standards, and less government supervision and regulation of
securities exchanges in foreign countries.
Technology Sector Risk.
Companies in the technology sector are often smaller and can be
characterized by relatively higher volatility in price performance
when compared to other economic sectors. They can face intense
competition, which may have an adverse effect on profit
margins.
Small-Cap Risk. Small-cap
companies may be more volatile and susceptible to adverse
developments than their mid- and large-cap counterpart. In
addition, the small-cap companies may be less liquid than larger
companies.
FLEX Options Risk. The Fund
will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by
the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC). In the unlikely event that
the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its
settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.
Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than standard
options. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, the Fund may
have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at
desired times and prices. The values of FLEX Options do not
increase or decrease at the same rate as the reference asset and
may vary due to factors other than the price of reference
asset.
These Funds are designed to provide
point-to-point exposure to the price return of the Reference Asset
via a basket of Flex Options. As a result, the ETFs are not
expected to move directly in line with the Reference Asset during
the interim period.
Investors purchasing shares after an outcome
period has begun may experience very different results than funds'
investment objective. Initial outcome periods are approximately
1-year beginning on the funds' inception date. Following the
initial outcome period, each subsequent outcome period will begin
on the first day of the month the fund was incepted. After the
conclusion of an outcome period, another will begin.
Fund shareholders are subject to an
upside return cap (the "Cap") that represents the maximum
percentage return an investor can achieve from an investment in the
funds' for the Outcome Period, before fees and expenses. If the
Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has increased in value to a
level near to the Cap, an investor purchasing at that price has
little or no ability to achieve gains but remains vulnerable to
downside risks. Additionally, the Cap may rise or fall from one
Outcome Period to the next. The Cap, and the Fund's position
relative to it, should be considered before investing in the Fund.
The Funds' website, www.innovatoretfs.com, provides important Fund
information as well information relating to the potential outcomes
of an investment in a Fund on a daily basis.
The Funds with buffer mechanisms only
seek to provide shareholders that hold shares for the entire
Outcome Period with their respective buffer level against Reference
Asset losses during the Outcome Period. You will bear all Reference
Asset losses exceeding 9, 15 or 30%. Depending upon market
conditions at the time of purchase, a shareholder that purchases
shares after the Outcome Period has begun may also lose their
entire investment. For instance, if the Outcome Period has begun
and the Fund has decreased in value beyond the pre-determined
buffer, an investor purchasing shares at that price may not benefit
from the buffer. Similarly, if the Outcome Period has begun and the
Fund has increased in value, an investor purchasing shares at that
price may not benefit from the buffer until the Fund's value has
decreased to its value at the commencement of the Outcome
Period.

2 ETFs use creation units, which allow for the
purchase and sale of assets in the fund collectively. Consequently,
ETFs usually generate fewer capital gain distributions overall,
which can make them somewhat more tax-efficient than mutual
funds.

financial instruments designed and created to afford investors

an Issuing institution, so they are not exposed to credit risk.
