EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 67 to the Registration Statement of Invesco Exchange Fund (the “Registrant”) on Form N-1A incorporates herein Part A and Part B as filed in Post-Effective Amendment No. 65 of the Registrant on April 30, 2019 (Accession No. 0001193125-19-128092) (“Amendment No. 65”) and is being filed to amend and supplement Amendment No. 65.

The audited financial statements of the Registrant for the annual period ended December 31, 2018 (as filed on March 8, 2019 (Accession No. 0001193125-19-068320)) and the unaudited semi-annual financial statements of the Registrant for the semi-annual period ended June 30, 2019 (as filed on September 6, 2019 (Accession No. 0001193125-19-239561)) contained in the Annual and Semi-Annual Reports of the Registrant, respectively, are incorporated herein by reference.


Part A is hereby supplemented as follows:

At meetings held December 9-11, 2019, the Board of Trustees of Invesco Exchange Fund (the “Target Fund”), a Delaware statutory trust, unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Target Fund would transfer all or substantially all of its assets and liabilities to Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund (the” Acquiring Fund”), a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund that would be distributed to Target Fund shareholders.

The Agreement requires approval by the Target Fund shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a special shareholders meeting to be held in or around April 2020. If the Agreement is approved by shareholders of the Target Fund and certain conditions required by the Agreement are satisfied or waived, the reorganization is expected to be consummated in or around May 2020. Upon closing of the reorganization, shareholders of the Target Fund will receive shares of a class of the Acquiring Fund that are equal in value to the shares of the Target Fund that the shareholders held immediately prior to the closing of the reorganization, and the Target Fund will liquidate and cease operations.

A combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be sent to shareholders of the Target Fund requesting their vote on the Agreement, which will include a full discussion of the reorganization and the factors the Board of Trustees considered in approving the Agreement.

If shareholders approve the reorganization, it is currently anticipated that the Target Fund will close to new investors approximately two business days prior to the closing date of the reorganization to facilitate a smooth transition of Target Fund shareholders to the Acquiring Fund. All investors who were invested in the Target Fund as of the date on which the Target Fund closed to new investors and remain invested in the Target Fund would be permitted to continue to make additional investments in their existing accounts and open new accounts in their name. The Acquiring Fund will remain open for purchase during this period.
