The sponsor approved a one-for-three reverse split of the Trust's shares, effective at the open on October 6, 2026, with shares trading split-adjusted on Nasdaq. The filing states the split does not change the total value of a shareholder's investment or the aggregate value of the Trust's assets, but reduces the number of shares outstanding and increases net asset value per share.
Reverse split ratio is one-for-three: every three Shares outstanding as of the October 5, 2026 record date will combine into one Share.
Split-adjusted trading begins at the open of business on October 6, 2026, on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
