GLOSSARY OF TERMS Alpha refers to the abnormal rate of return on a security or portfolio in excess of what would be predicted by an equilibrium model like the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). Barclays 1-10 Year Blended Municipal Bond Index is a market index of high quality, domestic fixed income securities with maturities of less than 10 years. Barclays Intermediate U.S. Aggregate Bond Index represents domestic taxable investment-grade bonds with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities and asset-backed securities with average maturities and durations in the intermediate range. This index represents a sector of the Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) U.S. Aggregate Index. Barclays Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index represents intermediate and long-term government and investment grade corporate debt securities having maturities of greater than one year. Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index is a widely-recognized, market value-weighted index which covers the universe of fixed-rate, non-investment grade debt. Barclays U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Index is composed of publicly issued U.S. dollar-denominated, investment grade, SEC-registered corporate bonds issued by industrial, utility, and financial companies. All bonds have at least one year to maturity. Basis point is a unit that is equal to 1/100th of 1%, and is used to denote the change in a financial instrument. The basis point is commonly used for calculating changes in interest rates, equity indexes and the yield of a fixed-income security. 1% is equal to 100 basis points. Beta is a measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market as a whole. Book value is the net asset value of a company, calculated by total assets minus intangible assets (patents, goodwill) and liabilities. Cash flow measures the cash generating capability of a company by adding non-cash charges (e.g. depreciation) and interest expense to pretax income. Correlation is a statistical measurement of how two securities move in relation to each other. Dividend Yield is a financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price. In the absence of any capital gains, the dividend yield is the return on investment for a stock. Downside Capture is a statistical measure of a funds performance in down markets. For example, a fund with downside capture of 90% would only have declined 90% as much as the related index during the same down market period. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of the price of a fixed-income investment to a change in interest rates. Duration is expressed as a number of years. Rising interest rates mean falling bond prices, while declining interest rates mean rising bond prices. Earnings growth is a measure of growth in a companys net income over a specific period, often one year. The term can apply to actual data from previous periods or estimated data for future periods. Earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by taking the total earnings divided by the number of shares outstanding. Earnings Yield is the earnings per share for the most recent 12-month period divided by the current market price per share. The earnings yield shows the percentage of each dollar invested in the stock that was earned by the company. EBITDA is the Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. An approximate measure of a companys operating cash flow based on data from the companys income statement. Enterprise Value (EV) is a measure of a companys value, often used as an alternative to straightforward market capitalization. Enterprise Value is calculated as market capitalization plus debt, minority interest and preferred shares, minus total cash and cash equivalents. Free Cash Flow is the operating cash flows (net income plus amortization and depreciation) minus capital expenditures and dividends. Free cash flow is the amount of cash that a company has left over after it has paid all of its expenses, including investments. G-20 (more formally, the Group of Twenty Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors) is a group of finance ministers and central bank governors from 20 economies: 19 of the worlds largest national economies, plus the European Union. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the monetary value of all the goods and services produced by an economy over a specified period. It includes consumption, government purchases, investments, and exports minus imports. MCSI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S.& Canada.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global emerging markets. MSCI Europe Index is an index that captures large and mid cap representation across 15 developed market countries in Europe. Price to earnings ratio (P/E) is a common tool for comparing the prices of different common stocks and is calculated by dividing the current market price of a stock by the earnings per share. Forward price to earnings ratio uses forecasted earnings, rather than current earnings, to calculate the price to earnings ratio. Return of Capital (ROC) is a return from an investment that is not considered income. The return of capital is when some or all of the money an investor has in an investment is paid back to him or her, thus decreasing the value of the investment. Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is a calculation used to assess a companys efficiency at allocating the capital under its control to profitable investments. ROIC is typically calculated by taking a companys net income, subtracting dividends the company paid out and dividing that amount by the companys total capital. Russell 1000 Growth Index measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book and higher forecasted growth values. Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values. Russell 2000 Growth Index measures the performance of the small-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-value ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index. Russell 2000 Value Index measures the performance of the small-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 2000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. S&P 500 Index (S&P 500) is a market-value weighted index representing the performance of 500 widely held, publicly traded large capitalization stocks. Turnover refers to a fund buying or selling securities. (The fund turns over its portfolio.) A fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities. Additionally, a higher turnover rate may result in higher taxes when the fund shares are held in a taxable account. Yield Curve is a line that plots the yields of securities having equal credit quality but different maturity dates. The broad based market indexes referenced in the following management commentaries are considered representative of their indicated market, the indexes are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of fees, such as, investment management and fund accounting fees, or taxes associated with a mutual fund. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investments in smaller and medium capitalization companies generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies for various reasons such as narrower markets, limited financial resources and less liquid stock. The value of the Funds investments in REITs may change in response to changes in the real estate market such as declines in the value of real estate, lack of available capital or financing opportunities, and increases in property taxes or operating costs. Investments in foreign securities entail certain risks not associated with investments in domestic securities, such as volatility of currency exchange rates, and in some cases, political and economic instability and relatively illiquid markets. The Fund may invest in ETFs, which may trade at a discount to the aggregate value of the underlying securities and although expense ratios for ETFs are generally low, frequent trading of ETFs by the Fund can generate brokerage expenses. Earnings growth is not a measure of the Funds future performance.
Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. For a complete list of fund holdings, please refer to the Schedule of Investments provided in this report.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund is non-diversified which means it may invest a large percentage of its assets in the securities of fewer issuers. Investment in a limited number of issuers exposes the Fund to greater market risk than if its assets were diversified among a greater number of issuers. The Fund is also subject to interest rate risk which is the risk that debt securities in the Funds portfolio will decline in value because of an increase in market interest rates. Municipal securities are subject to adverse political or economic factors, including changes in the tax law. Income from tax-exempt funds may be subject to state and local taxes and a portion of income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for certain investors.
Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. For a complete list of fund holdings, please refer to the Schedule of Investments provided in this report.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk which is the risk that debt securities in the Funds portfolio will decline in value because of increases in market interest rates. Investments in Asset Backed and Mortgage Backed Securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. Inflation-indexed bonds see the principal value of the security increased as the Consumer Price Index increases. Should the Consumer Price Index decline, those securities should be adversely impacted.
Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. For a complete list of fund holdings, please refer to the Schedule of Investments provided in this report.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in lower-rated and nonrated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. Investments in smaller and medium capitalization companies generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies for various reasons such as narrower markets, limited financial resources and less liquid stock. The value of the Funds investments in REITs and Real Estate may change in response to changes in the real estate market such as declines in the value of real estate, lack of available capital or financing opportunities, and increases in property taxes or operating costs. The Fund may invest in ETFs, which may trade at a discount to the aggregate value of the underlying securities and although expense ratios for ETFs are generally low, frequent trading of ETFs by the Fund can generate brokerage expenses. Investments in foreign securities entail certain risks not associated with investments in domestic securities, such as volatility of currency exchange rates, and in some cases, political and economic instability and relatively illiquid markets. Investing in Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) entails risk related to fluctuations in energy prices, decreases in supply of or demand for energy commodities, unique tax consequences due to the partnership structure and various other risks. Privately Placement issued securities are restricted securities that are not publicly traded. Delay or difficulty in selling such securities may result in a loss to the Fund.
Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. For a complete list of fund holdings, please refer to the Schedule of Investments provided in this report.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Funds investment focus on environmental factors could cause it to make or avoid investments that could result in the Fund underperforming similar funds that do not have an environmental focus. Investments in smaller capitalization companies generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies for various reasons such as narrower markets, limited financial resources and less liquid stock. Investments in foreign securities entail certain risks not associated with investments in domestic securities, such as volatility of currency exchange rates, and in some cases, political and economic instability and relatively illiquid markets. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets. Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. For a complete list of fund holdings, please refer to the Schedule of Investments provided in this report. Definitions for terms and indices are provided in the Glossary of Terms.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning it may invest in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Fund is more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in lower-rated and non-rated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. Municipal securities are subject to adverse political or economic factors, including changes in the tax law. Income from tax-exempt funds may be subject to state and local taxes and a portion of income may be subject to the federal and/or state alternative minimum tax for certain investors. Federal income tax rules will apply to any capital gains distribution. Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. For a complete list of fund holdings, please refer to the Schedule of Investments provided in this report. Definitions for terms and indices are provided in the Glossary of Terms.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in Asset-Backed and MortgageBacked securities include additional risks that investor should be aware of including credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. Certain fixed income securities held by the Fund may be difficult (or impossible) to sell at the time and at the price the Adviser would like. As a result, the Fund may have to hold these securities longer than it would like and may forego other investment opportunities. Issuers may experience an acceleration in prepayments of mortgage loans or other receivables backing the issuers fixed income securities when interest rates decline, which can shorten the maturity of the security, force the Fund to invest in securities with lower interest rates, and reduce the Funds return. Issuers may decrease prepayments of principal when interest rates increase, extending the maturity of a fixed income security and causing the value of the security to decline.
Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. For a complete list of fund holdings, please refer to the Schedule of Investments provided in this report.

The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 securities for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.
Small-Cap Growth Fund _____________________
Balance as of June 30, 2013 Purchases Returns of Capital Change in Unrealized Appreciation Balance as of December 31, 2013
The inputs utilized in valuing these securities consist of annual audited financial statements and quarterly capital statements which are provided by the issuer. These valuations are adjusted periodically for certain events (additional contributions of capital made by the Fund, distributions to the Fund made by the issuer, etc) that may occur prior to receipt of the next quarterly capital statement or Annual Report.
www.brownadvisoryfunds.com 109
Balance as of June 30, 2013 Purchases/Sales Accretion of Discount Change in Unrealized Appreciation Transfer out of Level 3 Balance as of December 31, 2013
As of June 30, 2013, the inputs utilized in valuing this security consisted of actual purchases and sales of the security in the open market. The prices of these transactions were then adjusted for current interest rate and market conditions to a benchmark, generally the 10 Year U.S. Treasury Note. At times, open bid and ask prices were utilized as well. This security is no longer being fair valued by the Fund and is now being priced by a third-party pricing service utilized by the Fund. B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practical after a Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Income and capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, which are accrued as applicable. Identified cost of investments sold is used to determine the gain and loss for both financial statement and Federal income tax purposes. Distributions deemed to be a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investments. C. Foreign Currency Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. The Funds report net realized foreign exchange gains and losses that arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gain or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds books and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of the assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. D. Options The Funds may invest in options. When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by a Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by a Fund on the expiration date as realized gain from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency determining whether a Fund has a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchase by a Fund. A Fund, as a writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. When a Fund purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium paid by a Fund is recorded as an investment and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option purchased. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if a Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a call option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If a put option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Written and purchased options are nonincome producing securities. No options were held by the Funds during the six months ended December 31, 2013.

Concentration of Maryland Bond Fund in securities of a limited amount of issuers exposes the Fund to greater market risk and potential monetary losses than if its assets were invested more heavily in issuers located outside of Maryland and therefore, it is more susceptible to economic, environmental and political factors adversely affecting issuers of Maryland municipal securities than would be comparable tax-exempt mutual funds that invest nationally. These factors may have an adverse affect on the issuers ability to meet their continued obligations to pay interest and principal to investors and therefore impact the value of the Funds investments and NAV. Investors in bond funds should anticipate fluctuations in price, especially for longer-term issues and in environments of rising interest rates. Generally bond prices fall when interest rates rise and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longerterm securities. Note 7. Credit Default Swap Agreements The Tactical Bond Fund may invest in credit default swap agreements. Credit default swap agreements involve one party making a stream of payments (generally referred to as the buyer of protection) to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event in respect of a referenced entity, obligation or index. As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, a Fund will generally receive from the buyer of protection a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap. As the seller, a Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. If a Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If a Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are typically estimated by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default some or all of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a basket of credit instruments or exposures typically designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. Components of the indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset-backed securities, emerging markets, and/or various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are typically traded using credit default swaps with standardized terms including a fixed spread and

Expense Example For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period* (July 1, 2013 December 31, 2013). Actual Expenses The Actual Return row in the following table provides information about actual account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. As a shareholder you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently, the Funds transfer agent charges a $15.00 fee. You will be charged a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the net amount of the redemption if you redeem your shares less than 14 days after you purchase, with certain limited exceptions. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) that are held directly at the Funds will be charged a $15.00 annual maintenance fee. IRAs held by broker-dealers or through other means, may or may not incur an annual maintenance fee. Yet, if IRAs maintenance fees are charged to accounts held elsewhere, the fees charged may be more or may be less than $15.00. To the extent the Funds invest in shares of other investment companies as part of their investment strategy, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Funds invest in addition to the expenses of the Funds. Actual expenses of the underlying funds may vary. These expenses are not included in the example below. The example below includes, but is not limited to, investment advisory, shareholder servicing, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. However, the example below does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses and other extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, 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 in the first line under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During the Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes The Hypothetical Return row in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values based on a hypothetical return and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds actual return. 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 may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the Hypothetical information in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Approval of the Continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Adoption of Investment Advisory Agreements and a Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement for the Funds (Unaudited)
1. Board of Trustees Approval of the Continuation of the Trusts Investment Advisory Agreement (with respect to each of the Funds other than the Brown Advisory Emerging Markets Fund, Strategic European Equity Fund and Mortgage Securities Fund) In accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, the Board of Trustees of the Trust is required, on an annual basis, to consider the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each of the Funds, and Brown Advisory LLC (Brown Advisory or the Adviser), as well as any applicable Sub-Advisory Agreements, and this must take place at an in-person meeting of the Board. The relevant provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 specifically provide that it is the duty of the Board to request and evaluate such information as the Board determines is necessary to allow them to properly consider the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement, and it is the duty of the Adviser to furnish the Trustees with such information that is responsive to their request. (Separate discussions of the Boards consideration of matters with respect to: (1) the approval of the adoption of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Strategic European Equity Fund, and (2) the approval of the adoption of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Securities Fund are set forth immediately following this section). Accordingly, in determining whether to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees requested, and the Adviser provided, information and data relevant to the Boards consideration. This included materials prepared by the Adviser and by the Funds administrator that provided the Board with information regarding the investment performance of the Funds, and information regarding the fees and expenses of the Funds, as compared to other similar mutual funds. As part of its deliberations, the Board also considered and relied upon information about the Funds and Brown Advisory that they had received during the past year in connection with their regular Board meetings at which they engage in the ongoing oversight of the Funds and their operations. The Board most recently considered the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement at an in-person meeting held on October 30, 2013. At this meeting, the Board engaged in a thorough review process in connection with determining whether to continue the Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, the Board also considered the continuation of the currently effective Expense Limitation Agreement with respect to each Fund which would limit the total operating expenses for each class of shares of each of the Funds through October 31, 2015, as well as the Business Management Agreement with Brown Advisory pursuant to which Brown Advisory provides certain business management services to the Funds. Following their review and consideration, the Trustees determined that the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to each of the Funds was advisable and would enable shareholders of the Funds to continue to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including those Trustees who are not considered to be interested persons of the Trust, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the Independent Trustees), unanimously approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from the Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also carefully considered the profitability data and comparative fee, expense and performance information prepared for their use. In considering the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Trustees evaluated a number of factors that they believed, in light of their reasonable business judgment, to be relevant. They based their decision on the following considerations, among others, although they did not identify any one specific consideration or any particular information that was controlling of their decision: The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided. The Trustees concluded that Brown Advisory is capable of providing high quality services to the Funds, as indicated by the nature, extent and quality of the services provided in the past by Brown Advisory to each of the Funds, Brown Advisorys management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the Funds, the professional qualifications and experience of each of the portfolio managers of the Funds, Brown Advisorys investment management and compliance oversight processes, and the competitive investment performance of the Funds. On the basis of the Trustees assessment of the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided by Brown Advisory, the Trustees concluded that Brown Advisory is capable of generating a level of long-term investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Funds investment objectives, policies and strategies and is competitive with many other comparable investment companies. The Board received and reviewed performance information for each of the Funds separately, including performance information, for applicable one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2013, and for shorter periods as applicable with respect to those Funds with shorter operating histories. The Board took into consideration that this information for certain of the Funds www.brownadvisoryfunds.com 122
Approval of the Continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Adoption of Investment Advisory Agreements and a Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement for the Funds (Unaudited)
included information from when these Funds were series of another registered investment company for which Brown Advisory had previously provided investment advisory services (the Predecessor Funds), and which were reorganized into the subject Funds as part of a reorganization transaction that was completed in October 2012. The Board also reviewed with the representatives of Brown Advisory other information and data, including each Funds performance against its benchmark and its peers, as follows: Equity Income Fund The Board first reviewed information and materials regarding the performance results for the Equity Income Fund, noting that the Investor Shares of the Fund had underperformed its primary benchmark index, the S&P 500 Index, and its total universe group for the one-year period ended September 30, 2013. The Board also noted that, because the Fund commenced operations in December 2011, the Fund has a relatively short performance history. The Board also took note of the fact that the Board had met with the Funds portfolio managers at its September 6, 2013 meeting, at which time the portfolio managers discussed the Funds strategy to seek to offer higher yield due to its stronger commitment to dividend payout, stronger dividend growth and lower volatility than the S&P 500 Index. Flexible Equity Fund The Board next reviewed information and materials regarding the performance results for the Flexible Equity Fund, noting that the Investor Shares of the Fund had outperformed its primary benchmark index, the S&P 500 Index, and its total universe group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended September 30, 2013. Growth Equity Fund The Board then reviewed information and materials regarding the performance results for the Growth Equity Fund, noting that the Investor Shares of the Fund had underperformed its primary benchmark index, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, and its total universe group for the one- and three-year periods ended September 30, 2013, but had outperformed its primary benchmark index and its total universe group for the five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2013. Opportunity Fund The Board next reviewed information and materials regarding the performance results for the Opportunity Fund, noting that the Investor Shares of the Fund had outperformed its primary benchmark index, the Russell 3000 Index, and its total universe group for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2013, but had underperformed its benchmark index and total universe group for the ten-year period ended September 30, 2013. Small-Cap Fundamental Value Fund The Board then reviewed information and materials regarding the performance results for the Small-Cap Fundamental Value Fund, noting that the Investor Shares of the Fund had outperformed its primary benchmark index, the Russell 2000 Value Index, and its total universe group for the one- and three-year periods ended September 30, 2013. Small-Cap Growth Fund The Board next reviewed information and materials regarding the performance results for the Small-Cap Growth Fund, noting that the Investor Shares of the Fund had outperformed its primary benchmark index, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, and its total universe group for the one-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2013, but had underperformed its primary benchmark index and its total universe group for the three-year period ended September 30, 2013. Value Equity Fund The Board then reviewed information and materials regarding the performance results for the Value Equity Fund, noting that the Investor Shares of the Fund had outperformed its primary benchmark index, the Russell 1000 Value Index, for the one- and fiveyear periods ended September 30, 2013, but had underperformed for the three- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2013. The Board also noted that the Investor Shares of the Fund had outperformed its total universe group for the one- and three-year periods ended September 30, 2013, but underperformed its total universe group for the five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2013.

Sustainable Growth Fund The Board next reviewed information and materials regarding the performance results for the Sustainable Growth Fund, noting that the Investor Shares of the Fund had outperformed its primary benchmark index, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, and its total universe group for the one-year period ended September 30, 2013. Intermediate Income Fund The Board then reviewed information and materials regarding the performance results for the Intermediate Income Fund, noting that the Investor Shares of the Fund had underperformed its primary benchmark index, the Barclays Intermediate Aggregate Bond Index, and its total universe group for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2013. The members of the Board considered and discussed the factors contributing to the Funds underperformance and they reviewed them with the Adviser, and the generally conservative investment approach utilized for the Fund was noted. Maryland Bond Fund The Board next reviewed information and materials regarding the performance results for the Maryland Bond Fund, noting that the Investor Shares of the Fund had underperformed its primary benchmark index, the Barclays 1-10 Year Blended Municipal Bond Index, for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2013. The Board also noted that the Investor Shares of the Fund had outperformed its total universe group for the one-year period ended September 30, 2013, but underperformed its total universe group for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2013. The members of the Board considered and discussed the factors contributing to the Funds underperformance and they reviewed them with the Adviser, and the generally conservative investment approach utilized for the Fund was noted. Tactical Bond Fund The Board then reviewed information and materials regarding the performance results for the Tactical Bond Fund, noting that the Investor Shares of the Fund had outperformed its primary benchmark index, the Barclays Intermediate Aggregate Bond Index, and its total universe group for the one-year period ended September 30, 2013. Tax Exempt Bond Fund The Board next reviewed information and materials regarding the performance results for the Tax Exempt Bond Fund, noting that the Investor Shares of the Fund had underperformed its primary benchmark index, the Barclays 1-10 Year Blended Municipal Bond Index, for the one-year period ended September 30, 2013, but outperformed its total universe group for the same period. The cost of advisory services provided and the level of profitability. The Board also considered the advisory fees and overall expenses of the Funds as compared to the advisory fees and overall expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 fees) of other mutual funds in each Funds peer group, as well as profitability information with respect to Brown Advisorys management and operation of the Funds. On the basis of this comparative information, the Trustees determined that the overall advisory fees and expense ratios of the Funds are competitive with industry averages. The Trustees noted that Brown Advisory had proposed the continuation of their contractual commitment for the benefit of shareholders of the Funds to limit the Funds operating expenses through October 31, 2015, subject to recoupment by the Adviser of certain amounts under specified circumstances. The Board also considered Brown Advisorys level of profitability with respect to each of the Funds, and noted that Brown Advisorys level of profitability was acceptable and not unreasonable. The Board considered information regarding the fees that Brown Advisory charges to its other clients for investment advisory services that are similar to the advisory services provided to the Funds and the Board noted that the fees charged to the Funds by the Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature of the services provided by the Adviser to the other accounts, the types of accounts involved, and the applicable services provided in each case. Accordingly, on the basis of the Boards review of the fees charged by Brown Advisory for investment advisory services, the investment advisory and other services provided to the Funds by Brown Advisory, and the level of profitability from Brown Advisorys relationship with the Funds, the Board concluded that the level of investment advisory fees and Brown Advisorys profitability were appropriate in light of the management fees, overall expense ratios and investment performance of comparable investment companies. The Board reviewed with the representatives of Brown Advisory certain fee and expense information as follows:

Approval of the Continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Adoption of Investment Advisory Agreements and a Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement for the Funds (Unaudited)
Equity Income Fund The Board first reviewed expense information and materials for the Equity Income Fund, noting that the Investment Advisory Agreement provided for a 0.60% investment advisory fee for the Fund, which was below average compared to its peer funds. The Board also noted that the net expense ratio of the Funds Investor Shares was 0.95%, which is lower than the average net expense ratio of its peer funds. Flexible Equity Fund The Board next reviewed expense information and materials for the Flexible Equity Fund, noting that the Investment Advisory Agreement provided for a 0.60% investment advisory fee for the Fund, which was below average compared to its peer funds.

Growth Equity Fund The Board then reviewed expense information and materials for the Growth Equity Fund, noting that the Investment Advisory Agreement provided for a 0.60% investment advisory fee for the Fund, which was below average compared to its peer funds. The Board also noted that the net expense ratio of the Funds Investor Shares was 0.92%, which was slightly higher than the average net expense ratio of its peer funds. Opportunity Fund The Board next reviewed expense information and materials for the Opportunity Fund, noting that the Investment Advisory Agreement provided for a 0.85% investment advisory fee for the Fund, which was slightly below average compared to its peer funds. The Board also noted that the net expense ratio of the Funds Investor Shares was 1.50%, which was higher than the average net expense ratio of its peer funds.

Small-Cap Growth Fund The Board next reviewed expense information and materials for the Small-Cap Growth Fund, noting that the Investment Advisory Agreement provided for a 0.85% investment advisory fee for the Fund, which was below average compared to its peer funds. The Board also noted that the net expense ratio of the Funds Investor Shares was 1.18%, which was lower than the average net expense ratio of its peer funds. Value Equity Fund The Board then reviewed expense information and materials for the Value Equity Fund, noting that the Investment Advisory Agreement provided for a 0.60% investment advisory fee for the Fund, which was below average compared to its peer funds. The Board also noted that the net expense ratio of the Funds Investor Shares was 0.96%, which was lower than the average net expense ratio of its peer funds. Sustainable Growth Fund The Board next reviewed expense information and materials for the Sustainable Growth Fund, noting that the Investment Advisory Agreement provided for a 0.60% investment advisory fee for the Fund, which was below average compared to its peer funds.

funds. The Board also noted that the net expense ratio of the Funds Investor Shares was 0.53%, which was lower than the average net expense ratio of its peer funds. Maryland Bond Fund The Board next reviewed expense information and materials for the Maryland Bond Fund, noting that the Investment Advisory Agreement provided for a 0.30% investment advisory fee for the Fund, which was below average compared to its peer funds. The Board also noted that the net expense ratio of the Funds Investor Shares was 0.54%, which was lower than the average net expense ratio of its peer funds. Tactical Bond Fund The Board then reviewed expense information and materials for the Tactical Bond Fund, noting that the Investment Advisory Agreement provided for a 0.60% investment advisory fee for the Fund, which was below average compared to its peer funds. The Board also noted that the net expense ratio of the Funds Investor Shares was 1.05%, which was higher than the average net expense ratio of its peer funds. Tax Exempt Bond Fund The Board next reviewed expense information and materials for the Tax Exempt Bond Fund, noting that the Investment Advisory Agreement provided for a 0.30% investment advisory fee for the Fund, which was below average compared to its peer funds. The Board also noted that the net expense ratio of the Funds Investor Shares was 0.55%, which was lower than the average net expense ratio of its peer funds. The extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Funds grow and whether the advisory fees reflect possible economies of scale. While it was noted that the Funds investment advisory fees will not decrease as the Funds assets grow because they are not subject to investment advisory fee breakpoints, the Trustees concluded that the Funds investment advisory fees are appropriate in light of the size of the Funds, and appropriately reflect the current economic environment for Brown Advisory and the competitive nature of the mutual fund market. The Trustees noted that, with the exception of the Brown Advisory Growth Equity Fund, the Funds are not at scale and that profitability is not yet such that a reduction in fees would be appropriate at this time. The Trustees also noted that the Funds advisory fees are competitive against their peers. The Trustees then noted that they will have the opportunity to periodically re-examine whether any of the Funds have achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of investment advisory fees payable to Brown Advisory with respect to the Funds, in the future at which time the implementation of fee breakpoints on applicable Funds could be further considered. Benefits to Brown Advisory from its relationship with the Funds (and any corresponding benefits to the Funds). The Trustees concluded that other benefits that may be derived by Brown Advisory from its relationship with the Funds, including soft dollar benefits in connection with Fund brokerage transactions and use of the Funds performance track record in advertising materials, are reasonable and fair, and consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders. In addition, the Trustees determined that the Funds benefit from their relationship with Brown Advisory by virtue of Brown Advisorys provision of business management and shareholder services, in addition to investment advisory services, at a cost to the Funds that is generally comparable to the costs of an outside service provider, which the Trustees determined to be reasonable, fair and in the best interests of the shareholders of the Funds in light of the nature and quality of the services provided and the necessity of the services for the Funds operations. Other Considerations. In approving the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees determined that Brown Advisory has made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintains the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage the Funds in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders. The Board also acknowledged the experience and expertise of members of the Brown Advisory senior management team and the focus these individuals have on ensuring that the Funds operate successfully. The Trustees also concluded that Brown Advisory has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Funds, which entails a substantial financial and professional commitment, including the Expense Limitation Agreement under which Brown Advisory has undertaken to waive a portion of its fees and to reimburse expenses of the Funds to the benefit of Fund shareholders to the extent necessary in accordance with the terms of the Expense Limitation Agreement. The Board also considered matters with respect to the brokerage practices of Brown Advisory, including its soft dollar arrangements and its best-execution procedures, and noted that these were reasonable and consistent with standard industry practice. www.brownadvisoryfunds.com 126
Approval of the Continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Adoption of Investment Advisory Agreements and a Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement for the Funds (Unaudited)
In considering information regarding the investment management fees payable by the Funds to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board also took note of the business management fees that are payable by each of the Funds to Brown Advisory under the terms of the Business Management Agreement. In considering the approval of the continuation of the Business Management Agreement, the Board members considered various factors with respect to the business management fees, including the level and amount of these fees and the services that are provided by Brown Advisory in connection with the Business Management Agreement, in determining the reasonableness of the total fees paid by the Funds to Brown Advisory for the overall level of services that Brown Advisory provides to the Funds and their shareholders. In considering the nature and extent of the non-advisory business management services that are provided to the Funds by the Adviser, the Board took into consideration: (1) whether the Business Management Agreement is in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders; (2) whether the services performed under the Business Management Agreement are required for the operation of the Funds; (3) whether the services provided are of a nature and quality at least equal to the same or similar services provided by independent third parties; and (4) whether the fees for the services are fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges made by others for services of the same nature and quality. After reviewing these factors with respect to the Business Management Agreement, the Board of Trustees determined that approval of the continuation of the Business Management Agreement was advisable and in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders and that the fees payable to Brown Advisory under the terms of the Business Management Agreement were fair and reasonable in light of the services provided. The Board also considered various matters with respect to the distribution and shareholder servicing arrangements applicable to the Funds and they considered the distribution fees and the non-distribution shareholder servicing fees payable with respect to certain of the share classes of the Funds, including certain of such fees which are payable to the Adviser for the shareholder administrative services that it provides to shareholders of the Funds. The Board took note of the fact that the non-distribution related shareholder administrative fees payable to the Adviser are intended to compensate the Adviser for providing certain administrative services to those Fund shareholders covered by the applicable servicing arrangements in the relevant share classes. In reaching their conclusion with respect to the approval of the of the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the level of fees paid under the Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any one single factor as being controlling, but rather, the Board took note of a combination of factors that influenced their decision making process. They noted the level and quality of the investment advisory services provided by Brown Advisory to each of the Funds in the Trust, and they found that these services will continue to benefit the Funds and their shareholders and also reflected the Advisers overall commitment to the continued growth and development of the Funds. Based upon their review and consideration of these factors and other matters deemed relevant by the Board in reaching an informed business judgment, a majority of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, were fair and reasonable and the Board voted to renew the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds for an additional one-year period. 2. Board of Trustees Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement With Respect to the Brown Advisory Strategic European Equity Fund The Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Brown Advisory Strategic European Equity Fund (the Fund), and Brown Advisory, LLC (Brown Advisory or the Adviser), was approved by the Board of Trustees at a meeting of the Board held on September 6, 2013. At the same meeting, the Board of Trustees also approved the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund between Brown Advisory and Wellington Management Company, LLP (Wellington or the Sub-Adviser), the sub-investment adviser to the Fund. In accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Board of Trustees was required to consider the approval of both the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, and this was required to take place at an in-person meeting of the Board. The relevant provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 specifically provide that it is the duty of the Board to request and evaluate such information as the Board determines is necessary to allow them to properly consider the approval of each of the Agreements, and it is the duty of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, as applicable, to furnish the Trustees with such information that is responsive to their request.

Approval of the Continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Adoption of Investment Advisory Agreements and a Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement for the Funds (Unaudited)
This included materials prepared by the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser and by the Funds administrator that provided the Board with information regarding the investment performance of the Sub-Advisers similarly managed funds and separate accounts having similar investment objectives and strategies as the Fund, and information regarding the estimated fees and expenses of the Fund, as compared to other similar mutual funds. The Board initially met by means of a telephonic meeting held on July 18, 2013 in order to consider various matters with respect to the proposed approval of each of the Agreements. At this meeting, the Board reviewed with representatives of the Adviser various matters with respect to the proposed establishment and organization of the Fund, the proposed sub-advisory services to be provided to the Fund by the Sub-Adviser, the nature and extent of the duties and responsibilities of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Fund, the compliance oversight process involving the Fund and its operations, and the proposed fees and expenses of the Fund, including the proposed sub-advisory fees applicable to the Fund. During this meeting representatives of the Adviser made a presentation to the Board regarding their recommendation to retain the Sub-Adviser to provide sub-advisory services to the Fund and they reviewed the process that they had followed in determining to select Wellington to serve as Sub-Adviser. The Board then met again at in-person meeting of the Board of Trustees held on September 6, 2013 to consider matters with respect to the Fund and the members of the Board reviewed and considered the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, the Board also considered the adoption of an Expense Limitation Agreement with respect to the Fund which would limit the total operating expenses of the Fund through October 31, 2015, as well as a Business Management Agreement with Brown Advisory pursuant to which Brown Advisory would provide certain business management services to the Fund. At this meeting, representatives of the Sub-Adviser, including the proposed portfolio manager of the Fund, reviewed for the members of the Board Wellingtons experience and background in managing European equity securities, and they also reviewed information regarding the investment advisory process followed by the Sub-Adviser and the compliance program of the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the members of the Board reviewed with the proposed portfolio manager of the Fund various matters with respect to the proposed sub-advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Wellington and the investment strategies that would be employed by the firm in managing the Fund. Following their review and consideration of these matters, the Trustees determined that the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser with respect to the Fund would enable shareholders of the Fund to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, including those Trustees who are not considered to be interested persons of the Trust, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Independent Trustees), unanimously approved the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund. In reaching their decision, the Trustees requested and obtained from the Adviser such information as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also carefully considered the projected profitability data and comparative fee, expense and performance information prepared by Trust management. In considering the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, the Trustees evaluated a number of factors that they believed, in light of their reasonable business judgment, to be relevant. They based their decision on the following considerations, among others, although they did not identify any one specific consideration or any particular information that was controlling of their decision: The nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided. The Trustees concluded that Brown Advisory is capable of providing high quality services to the Fund, as indicated by the nature, extent and quality of services provided in the past to the other Funds in the Trust, Brown Advisorys management capabilities demonstrated with respect to the other Funds in the Trust, the professional qualifications and experience of the members of Brown Advisorys investment management oversight team who will be responsible for the ongoing supervision and oversight of Wellingtons investment activities with respect to the Fund, Brown Advisorys investment and compliance oversight processes, and the competitive investment performance of the other Funds in the Trust. The Trustees also determined that Brown Advisory proposed to provide investment advisory services that were of the same quality as services provided to the other Funds in the Trust, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Funds proposed operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs. On the basis of the Trustees assessment of the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided by Brown Advisory, the Trustees concluded that Brown Advisory is capable of generating a level of long-term investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Funds investment objectives, policies and strategies and competitive with many other comparable investment companies. The cost of advisory services to be provided and the expected level of profitability. On the basis of comparative information derived from the data that was provided to the Board, the Trustees determined that the overall projected expense ratios for each respective class of shares of the Fund were competitive with industry averages. The Trustees also noted that Brown Advisory had www.brownadvisoryfunds.com 128
Approval of the Continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Adoption of Investment Advisory Agreements and a Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement for the Funds (Unaudited)
proposed a contractual commitment for the benefit of shareholders of the Fund to limit the Funds operating expenses through October 31, 2015. The Board also focused on Brown Advisorys projected level of profitability with respect to the Fund, and noted that Brown Advisorys expected level of profitability was acceptable and not unreasonable. Accordingly, on the basis of the Boards review of the fees to be charged by Brown Advisory for investment advisory services, the investment advisory services and sub-advisory oversight services to be provided to the Fund by Brown Advisory, and the estimated level of profitability from Brown Advisorys relationship with the Fund, the Board concluded that the level of investment advisory fees, the level of the subinvestment advisory fees and Brown Advisorys projected profitability are appropriate in light of the management fees, overall expense ratios and investment performance of comparable investment companies. The extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows and whether the advisory fees reflect possible economies of scale. While it was noted that the Funds investment advisory fees will not decrease as the Funds assets grow because they will not be subject to investment advisory fee breakpoints, the Trustees concluded that the Funds investment advisory fees are appropriate in light of the projected size of the Fund, and appropriately reflect the current economic environment for Brown Advisory and the competitive nature of the mutual fund market. The Trustees then noted that they will have the opportunity to periodically re-examine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale, and the appropriateness of the investment advisory fees payable to Brown Advisory with respect to the Fund, in the future at which time the implementation of fee breakpoints on the Fund could further be considered. Benefits to Brown Advisory from its relationship with the Fund (and any corresponding benefits to the Fund). The Trustees concluded that other benefits that may be derived by Brown Advisory from its relationship with the Fund, including any potential soft dollar benefits in connection with the Funds brokerage transactions and use of the Funds performance track record in advertising materials, are reasonable and fair, and consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In addition, the Trustees determined that the Fund will benefit from its relationship with Brown Advisory by virtue of Brown Advisorys provision of business management and shareholder services, in addition to investment advisory services, at a cost to the Fund that is generally comparable to the costs of an outside service provider, which the Trustees determined to be reasonable, fair and in the best interests of the shareholders of the Fund in light of the nature and quality of the services to be provided and the necessity of the services for the Funds operations. Other Considerations. In approving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees determined that Brown Advisory has made a substantial commitment to the recruitment and retention of high quality personnel, and maintains the financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage the Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the nature of the oversight duties to be performed by Brown Advisory which include extensive investment management and compliance due diligence with respect to the operations of the Sub-Adviser, and the Board determined that the investment advisory fee fairly compensated Brown Advisory for the services that it is to perform pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also concluded that Brown Advisory has made a significant entrepreneurial commitment to the management and success of the Fund, which entails a substantial financial and professional commitment, including the Expense Limitation Agreement under which Brown Advisory has undertaken to waive a portion of its fees to the benefit of the Funds shareholders to the extent necessary in accordance with the terms of the Expense Limitation Agreement. The Board also considered matters with respect to the brokerage practices of Brown Advisory, including its soft dollar arrangements and its best-execution procedures, and noted that these were reasonable and consistent with standard industry practice. In considering information regarding the investment management fees payable by the Fund to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board also took note of the business management fees that are payable by the Fund to Brown Advisory under the terms of the Business Management Agreement. In considering the approval of the Business Management Agreement with respect to the Fund, the Board members considered various factors with respect to the business management fees, including the level and amount of these fees and the services to be provided by Brown Advisory in connection with the Business Management Agreement, in determining the reasonableness of the total fees to be paid by the Fund to Brown Advisory for the overall level of services that Brown Advisory is to provide to the Fund and its shareholders. In considering the nature and extent of the non-advisory business management services to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser, the Board took into consideration: (1) whether the Business Management Agreement is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders; (2) whether the services to be performed under the Business Management Agreement are required for the operation of the Fund; (3) whether the services to be provided are of a nature and quality at least equal to the same or similar services provided by independent third parties; and (4) whether the fees for the services are fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges made by others for services www.brownadvisoryfunds.com 129

of the same nature and quality.

The Board also considered various matters with respect to the proposed distribution and shareholder servicing arrangements applicable to the Fund and they considered the distribution fees and the non-distribution shareholder servicing fees payable with respect to certain of the share classes of the Fund, including certain of such fees which may be payable to the Adviser for the shareholder administrative services that it provides to shareholders of the Fund. The Board took note of the fact that the non-distribution related shareholder administrative fees payable to the Adviser are intended to compensate the Adviser for providing certain administrative services to those Fund shareholders covered by the applicable servicing arrangements in the relevant share classes. It was noted that in making their determinations, the Trustees had considered and relied upon the materials provided to them with respect to the proposed contracts and the presentation of the representatives of Brown Advisory and Wellington, as well as the information and materials that they had been provided with in connection with their July 18, 2013 and September 6, 2013 meetings at which they had considered various matters with respect to the proposed establishment and operation of the Fund, and during which meetings they had reviewed matters with respect to the Fund with representatives of the Adviser and Wellington. In reaching their conclusion with respect to the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the level of fees to be paid under the Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any one single factor as being controlling, rather, the Trustees took note of a combination of factors that had influenced their decision making process. They noted the level and quality of investment advisory services provided by Brown Advisory to each of the other Funds in the Trust, and they found that these services will benefit the Fund and its shareholders and also reflected managements overall commitment to the growth and development of the Fund. The Board then undertook the consideration of various matters with respect to the proposed approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between Brown Advisory and Wellington. They considered various matters involving the respective services to be provided by each of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser in connection with the management and operation of the Fund and they took note of the extensive oversight duties to be performed by the Adviser including investment management and compliance oversight of the operations of the Sub-Adviser. The Board reviewed and evaluated the information that the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser had presented for the Boards review. The Board particularly noted, among other considerations, that the Funds proposed investment advisory fees and overall operating expenses were competitive with comparable mutual funds, and that Wellington has successfully managed other accounts with similar investment objectives and strategies. Based on its review of all of the information, the Board determined that the SubInvestment Advisory Agreement was consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and would enable the Fund to receive high quality sub-advisory services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In reaching these conclusions, the Board considered the following: The nature, extent and quality of the sub-investment advisory services to be provided. The Trustees concluded that Wellington is capable of providing high quality sub-advisory services to the Fund, as indicated by the nature and quality of services provided to its other managed accounts, the professional qualifications and experience of the Wellington employee who will be serving as the portfolio manager of the Fund, and Wellingtons investment management processes. On the basis of the Trustees assessment of the nature, extent and quality of the sub-advisory services to be provided by Wellington, the Trustees concluded that Wellington is capable of generating a level of long-term investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Funds investment objectives, policies and strategies and competitive with many other comparable investment companies. The cost of advisory services to be provided and the expected level of profitability.

The Trustees also noted that the Fund will be subject to a contractual expense limitation agreement for the benefit of shareholders of the Fund to limit the Funds operating expenses through October 31, 2015. The Board took note of the fact that the sub-advisory fee had been separately negotiated by Brown Advisory and Wellington and was consistent with fee arrangements for sub-advisory services in connection with other sub-advised mutual funds. Accordingly, on the basis of the Boards review of the fees to be charged by Wellington for sub-investment advisory services to be provided to the Fund, the Board concluded that the level of sub-investment advisory fees are appropriate in light of the management fees, overall expense ratios and investment performance of comparable investment companies, and that the sub-advisory fee had been separately negotiated at arms-length by independent third parties. www.brownadvisoryfunds.com 130

We obtain non-public financial and other personal information (Personal Information) about you directly (e.g., information on account applications and other forms, such as your name, address, and social security number, and information provided to access account information or conduct account transactions online, such as password, account number, e-mail address, and alternate telephone number), and indirectly (e.g., information about your transactions with us, such as transaction amounts, account balance and account holdings). We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with applicable laws and regulations to protect your Personal Information, and we continually assess new technology with the aim of adding new safeguards to those we have in place. For example, we take many measures to protect your Personal Information while it is stored electronically. In the normal conduct of our business, it may become necessary for us to share your Personal Information with companies who are under contract to perform services on behalf of Brown Advisory Funds. For example, those who may receive this information include the companies that provide Brown Advisory Funds with transfer agent, technology and administrative services, as well as the investment adviser, Brown Investment Advisory Incorporated, who is an affiliate of Brown Advisory Funds. If you maintain a retirement/educational custodial account directly with Brown Advisory Funds, we may also disclose your Personal Information to the custodian for that account for shareholder servicing purposes. We limit access to your Personal Information to only those employees of Brown Advisory Funds service providers with a business reason to know such information. We do not sell Personal Information about current or former shareholders or their accounts to any third parties, and we have policies and procedures intended to prevent the disclosure of such Personal Information to third parties unless necessary to support the operations and administration of the Brown Advisory Funds, the Brown Advisory Funds compliance with applicable laws and regulations, or as otherwise permitted by law. We strive to keep our records of your information accurate, and we take immediate steps to correct errors. If there are any inaccuracies in your statements or in any other communications from us, please contact us or contact your investment professional. This is our policy as of June 2012. This privacy policy applies to individuals, and we reserve the right to change any or all of the principles, along with related provisions, at any time.
