DGJL Investment Objective and Strategy

FT Vest U.S. Equity Buffer & Digital Return ETF - July describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund VIII.

Investment objective

The investment objective of the FT Vest U.S. Equity Buffer & Digital Return ETF – July (the “ Fund ”) is to seek to provide investors with a buffer against the first 10% of losses on the price returns of the State Street ® SPDR ® S&P 500 ® ETF Trust (the “Underlying ETF” ) while also providing a predetermined return level ( “digital return” ) that is [___]% (before fees and expenses) if the Underlying ETF appreciates in price, remains unchanged or decreases in price by 10% or less, over the period from July 20, 2026 through July 16, 2027.

Principal investment strategy

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest substantially all of its assets in FLexible EXchange ® Options ( “FLEX Options” ) that reference the price performance of the Underlying ETF . The Fund uses FLEX Options to employ a “target outcome strategy.” Target outcome strategies seek to produce pre-determined investment outcomes based upon the performance of an underlying security or index. The pre-determined outcomes sought by the Fund include a buffer against the first 10% of Underlying ETF losses and a digital return if the Underlying ETF appreciates in price, remains unchanged or decreases in price by 10% or less over an approximate one-year period (the “Target Outcome Period” ) that is [___]% (before fees and expenses). Investors that hold shares for the entire Target Outcome Period will not receive any positive price returns of the Underlying ETF above the digital return, however, investors will be subject to losses of the Underlying ETF below the buffer level.

The Fund's performance will not reflect the payment of dividends by the Underlying ETF. When the Fund's fees and expenses are taken into account, the digital return is [___]%. The digital return will be further reduced by any brokerage commissions, trading fees, taxes and extraordinary expenses not included in the Fund's management fee. The target outcomes the Fund seeks for investors that hold Fund shares for an entire Target Outcome Period are as follows, though there can be no guarantee these results will be achieved: ● If the Underlying ETF appreciates in price, remains unchanged or decreases in price by 10% or less over the Target Outcome Period, the combination of FLEX Options held by the Fund seeks to provide a digital return that is [___]% (before fees and expenses), over the Target Outcome Period.

● If the Underlying ETF decreases in price by more than 10% over the Target Outcome Period, investors will not receive the digital return and the Fund will experience all subsequent losses on
