“Other Expenses” includes Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, which are indirect fees and expenses that the Fund incurs from investing in the shares of other mutual funds. The Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the Fund in the table above differs from the Ratio of Net Expenses to Average Net Assets in the “Financial Highlights” section of the statutory prospectus because the audited information in the “Financial Highlights” reflects the Fund’s operating expenses and does not include indirect expenses such as Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.

Common Stocks
:
Common stocks occupy the most junior position in a company’s capital structure. Although common stocks have a history of long-term growth in value, their prices fluctuate based on changes in a company’s financial condition and on overall market and economic conditions.
Therefore, the price of common stocks may decline for a number of reasons. The price declines may be steep, sudden and/or prolonged.
|
·
|
Micro-Cap & Small Capitalization Companies
:
Micro-cap and small capitalization companies typically have relatively lower revenues, limited product lines, lack of management depth,
higher risk of insolvency
and a smaller share of the market for their products or services than larger capitalization companies. Generally, the share prices of stocks of micro-cap and small capitalization companies are more volatile than those of larger capitalization companies. Thus, the Fund’s share price may increase and decrease by a greater percentage than the share prices of funds that invest in the stocks of large capitalization companies. Also, the returns of micro-cap and small capitalization company stocks may vary, sometimes significantly, from the returns of the overall market. In addition, m
icro-cap and small capitalization company stocks tend to perform poorly during times of economic stress.
Relative to large capitalization company stocks, the stocks of micro-cap and small capitalization companies are thinly traded, and purchases and sales may result in higher transactions costs. For these reasons, the Fund is a suitable investment for only that part of an investor’s capital that can be exposed to above-average risk.
|
·
|
Market Risk
:
The Fund may be exposed to “market risk.” Market risk is the risk that stocks may decline significantly in price over short or extended periods of time. Price changes may occur in the market as a whole, or they may occur in only a particular company, industry or sector of the market.
|
·
|
Manager Risk
:
The Fund may lose money if the Fund’s investment strategy does not achieve the Fund’s objective or the Fund’s investment adviser does not implement the strategy properly.

|
Early Stage Companies
:
Early stage companies are subject to the same risks as micro-cap companies. In addition, they may not be profitable initially and there is no guarantee that they will become profitable or be able to obtain necessary financing. They may rely on untested business plans. Early stage companies may not be successful in developing markets for their products and services. They may remain an insignificant part of their industry. They may be illiquid or may not be publicly traded. Investments in early stage companies tend to be more volatile and somewhat more speculative than investments in more established companies.

The Funds will not accept payment in cash or money orders. The Funds do not accept payment by cashier’s check in amounts less than $10,000. Also, to prevent check fraud, the Funds will not accept third party checks, U. S. Treasury checks, credit card checks, traveler’s checks or starter checks for the purchase of shares. As applicable, make your check payable to “Perritt MicroCap Opportunities Fund,” “Perritt Emerging Opportunities Fund” or “U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC” as the Funds’ agent. All checks must be drawn on a bank located within the United States and must be payable in U.S. dollars.
The Funds are unable to accept post dated checks, post dated on-line bill pay checks, or any conditional order or payment. U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ transfer agent, will charge a $25 service fee when a check is returned. The shareholder will also be responsible for any losses suffered by the Funds as a result. The Funds may redeem shares you own as reimbursement for any such losses. The Funds reserve the right to reject any purchase order for Fund shares.

|
Become shareholders of record of the Funds. This means all requests to purchase additional shares and all redemption requests must be sent through the Servicing Agent. This also means that purchases made through Servicing Agents are not subject to the Funds’ minimum investment requirements.
|
·
|
Use procedures and impose restrictions that may be in addition to, or different from, those applicable to investors purchasing shares directly from the Funds.
|
·
|
Charge their customers fees for the services they provide. Also, the Funds and/or the Adviser may pay fees to Servicing Agents to compensate the Servicing Agent for the services provided to their customers. Such payments may provide incentives for Servicing Agents to make shares of the Funds available to their customers, and may allow the Funds greater access to such Servicing Agents and their customers than would be the case if no payments were made.
|
·
|
Be allowed to purchase shares by telephone with payment to follow the next day. If the telephone purchase is made prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE, it will receive the same day pricing.
|
·
|
Be authorized to accept purchase orders on behalf of the Funds (and designate other Servicing Agents to accept purchase orders on the Funds’ behalf). If a Fund has entered into an agreement with a Servicing Agent pursuant to which the Servicing Agent (or its designee) has been authorized to accept purchase orders on the Fund’s behalf, then all purchase orders received in good order by the Servicing Agent (or its designee) before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time will receive that day’s NAV, and all purchase orders received in good order by the Servicing Agent (or its designee) after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time will receive the next day’s NAV.

Prepare a letter of instruction containing:
|
·
|
The name of the Fund or Funds;
|
·
|
Account number(s);
|
·
|
The amount of money or number of shares being redeemed;
|
·
|
The names on the account;
|
·
|
Daytime telephone number; and
|
·
|
Additional information the Funds may require for redemptions by corporations, executors, administrators, trustees, guardians, or others who hold shares in a fiduciary or representative capacity. Please contact the Funds’ Transfer Agent in advance at 1-800-332-3133, if you have any questions.
|
2.
|
Sign the letter of instruction exactly as the shares are registered. Joint ownership accounts must be signed by all owners.
|
3.
|
A signature guarantee is required to redeem shares in the following situations:
|
·
|
The redemption request exceeds $10,000;
|
·
|
The redemption proceeds are payable or sent to any person, address or bank account not on record;
|
·
|
The redemption request is received within fifteen (15) business days of an address change; or
|
·
|
You are changing ownership on an account.
|
4.
|
Redemption requests from shareholders in an IRA or defined contribution retirement plan must include instructions regarding federal income tax withholding. Redemption requests will be subject to withholding unless the shareholder makes an election not to have federal income tax withheld.
|
5.
|
Send the letter containing redemption instructions to:
|
Perritt MicroCap Opportunities Fund
c/o U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC
P.O. Box 701

|
·
|
The redemption price per share you receive for redemption requests is the next determined NAV after U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS”) receives your written request in good order with all required information; or
|
·
|
If a Fund has entered into an agreement with a Servicing Agent pursuant to which the Servicing Agent (or its designee) has been authorized to accept redemption requests on behalf of the Fund, then all redemption requests received in good order by the Servicing Agent (or its designee) before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time will receive that day’s NAV, and all redemption requests received in good order by the Servicing Agent (or its designee) after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time will receive the next day’s NAV.
|
·
|
If you redeem shares by mail, USBFS will normally mail a check in the amount of the redemption proceeds no later than the seventh day after it receives the written request in good order with all required information, or transfer the redemption proceeds to your designated bank account if you have elected to receive redemption proceeds by either Electronic Funds Transfer or wire. An Electronic Funds Transfer generally takes two (2) to three (3) business days to reach the shareholder’s account whereas USBFS generally wires redemption proceeds on the business day following the calculation of the redemption price.
If any portion of the shares to be redeemed represents an investment made by check, a Fund may delay the payment of the redemption proceeds until the transfer agent is reasonably satisfied that the check has been collected. This may take up to twelve (12) calendar days from the purchase date.
|
·
|
If you redeem shares through a Servicing Agent, you will receive the redemption proceeds in accordance with the procedures established by the Servicing Agent.
|
·
|
The redemption may result in a taxable gain.
|
·
|
As permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, a Fund may delay the payment of redemption proceeds for up to seven (7) days in all cases. In addition, the Funds can suspend redemptions and/or postpone payments of redemption proceeds beyond seven days at times when the NYSE is closed or during emergency circumstances, as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
|
·
|
If any portion of the shares to be redeemed represents an investment made by check, a Fund may delay the payment of the redemption proceeds until the transfer agent is reasonably satisfied that the check has been collected. This may take up to twelve (12) calendar days from the purchase date.
|
·
|
The transfer agent currently charges $15 for each wire redemption but does not charge a fee for Electronic Funds Transfers.
|
·
|
A Fund may pay redemption requests “in kind.” This means that a Fund may pay redemption requests entirely or partially with liquid securities rather than cash. Shareholders who receive a redemption “in kind” may incur costs upon the subsequent disposition of such securities.
