International Multi-Asset Diversified Income Index Fund Changes Name, Investment Objective, Ticker Symbol and Management Fee Effective August 30, 2018

On August 30, 2018, International Multi-Asset Diversified Income Index Fund YDIV (the "Fund"), an exchange-traded index fund and a series of First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund VI (the "Trust"), will change its investment objective to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Fund's fees and expenses) of an index called the S&P International Dividend Aristocrats Index (the "New Index"). In connection with that change, under normal conditions, the Fund will invest at least 90% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in the equity securities that comprise the New Index. The New Index measures the performance of high dividend yielding companies that have followed a managed-dividends policy of increasing or maintaining dividends for at least ten consecutive years. The New Index is owned and was developed by S&P Dow Jones Indices, LLC, a division of S&P Global.

Effective August 30, 2018, the Fund's name will change to First Trust S&P International Dividend Aristocrats ETF, and the Fund will reduce its annual management fee payable to First Trust Advisors L.P. ("FTA"), the Fund's investment adviser, from 0.70% of the Fund's average daily net assets to 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets. FTA will manage the investment of the Fund's assets and will be responsible for the Fund's expenses, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, license fees, legal, audit and other services, but excluding fee payments under the Investment Management Agreement, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution and service fees related to a Rule 12b-1 plan, if any, and extraordinary expenses, which are paid by the Fund. The reduction in the management fee will have no effect on the services provided to the Fund by FTA. The Fund will list and trade its shares on Nasdaq under a different ticker symbol: "FID" and the Fund's new CUSIP will be 33738R688.

FTA is a federally registered investment advisor and serves as the Fund's investment advisor. FTA and its affiliate First Trust Portfolios L.P. ("FTP"), a FINRA registered broker-dealer, are privately-held companies that provide a variety of investment services. FTA has collective assets under management or supervision of approximately $130 billion as of July 31, 2018 through unit investment trusts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, mutual funds and separate managed accounts. FTA is the supervisor of the First Trust unit investment trusts, while FTP is the sponsor. FTP is also a distributor of mutual fund shares and exchange-traded fund creation units.
