not correlate with the performance of its Underlying Commodity as well as the net asset value per share of that Fund, which could
materially and adversely affect the value of the notes in the secondary market and/or reduce any payment on the notes.
• THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH GOLD WITH RESPECT TO THE SPDR® GOLD TRUST -
The investment objective of the SPDR® Gold Trust is to reflect the performance of the price of gold bullion, less the expenses of
the SPDR® Gold Trust's operations. The price of gold is primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of gold. The
market for gold bullion is global, and gold prices are subject to volatile price movements over short periods of time and are affected
by numerous factors, including macroeconomic factors, such as the structure of and confidence in the global monetary system,
expectations regarding the future rate of inflation, the relative strength of, and confidence in, the U.S. dollar (the currency in which
the price of gold is usually quoted), interest rates, gold borrowing and lending rates and global or regional economic, financial,
political, regulatory, judicial or other events. Gold prices may be affected by industry factors, such as industrial and jewelry
demand as well as lending, sales and purchases of gold by the official sector, including central banks and other governmental
agencies and multilateral institutions that hold gold. Additionally, gold prices may be affected by levels of gold production,
production costs and short-term changes in supply and demand due to trading activities in the gold market. From time to time,
above-ground inventories of gold may also influence the market. It is not possible to predict the aggregate effect of all or any
combination of these factors. The price of gold has recently been, and may continue to be, extremely volatile.
• THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SILVER WITH RESPECT TO THE iSHARES® SILVER TRUST -
The iShares® Silver Trust seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of silver, less the iShares® Silver Trust's expenses
and liabilities. The price of silver is primarily affected by global demand for and supply of silver. Silver prices can fluctuate widely
and may be affected by numerous factors. These include general economic trends, increases in silver hedging activity by silver
producers, significant changes in attitude by speculators and investors in silver, technical developments, substitution issues and
regulation, as well as specific factors including industrial and jewelry demand, expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, the
relative strength of the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of silver is generally quoted) and other currencies, interest rates,
central bank sales, forward sales by producers, global or regional political or economic events and production costs and disruptions
in major silver-producing countries, such as Mexico, China and Peru. The demand for and supply of silver affect silver prices, but
not necessarily in the same manner as supply and demand affect the prices of other commodities. The supply of silver consists of
a combination of new mine production and existing stocks of bullion and fabricated silver held by governments, public and private
financial institutions, industrial organizations and private individuals. In addition, the price of silver has on occasion been subject to
very rapid short-term changes due to speculative activities. From time to time, above-ground inventories of silver may also
influence the market. The major end uses for silver include industrial applications, jewelry and silverware. It is not possible to
predict the aggregate effect of all or any combination of these factors.
• THERE ARE RISKS RELATING TO COMMODITIES TRADING ON THE LBMA -
The investment objective of the SPDR® Gold Trust is to reflect the performance of the price of gold bullion, less the expenses of
SPDR® Gold Trust's operations, and the iShares® Silver Trust seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of silver, less
the iShares® Silver Trust's expenses and liabilities. The prices of gold and silver are determined by the LBMA or an independent
service provider appointed by the LBMA. The LBMA is a self-regulatory association of bullion market participants. Although all
market-making members of the LBMA are supervised by the Bank of England and are required to satisfy a capital adequacy test,
the LBMA itself is not a regulated entity. If the LBMA should cease operations, or if bullion trading should become subject to a
value added tax or other tax or any other form of regulation currently not in place, the role of the LBMA gold and silver prices as a
global benchmark for the values of gold and silver may be adversely affected. The LBMA is a principals' market, which operates in
a manner more closely analogous to an over-the-counter physical commodity market than regulated futures markets, and certain
features of U.S. futures contracts are not present in the context of LBMA trading. For example, there are no daily price limits on
the LBMA which would otherwise restrict fluctuations in the prices of LBMA contracts. In a declining market, it is possible that
prices would continue to decline without limitation within a trading day or over a period of trading days. The LBMA may alter,
discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the LBMA gold and silver prices, which could adversely affect the value of
the notes. The LBMA, or an independent service provider appointed by the LBMA, will have no obligation to consider your
interests in calculating or revising the LBMA gold and silver prices.
• SINGLE COMMODITY PRICES TEND TO BE MORE VOLATILE THAN, AND MAY NOT CORRELATE WITH, THE PRICES OF
COMMODITIES GENERALLY -
Each Fund is linked to a single commodity and not to a diverse basket of commodities or a broad-based commodity index. Each
Fund's Underlying Commodity may not correlate to the price of commodities generally and may diverge significantly from the prices
