| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Element | Description of Element | Disclosure requirement |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
D.2 | Key risks specific to the Issuer | The Issuer has been established as a special purpose vehicle for the purpose of establishing the Programme and issuing multiple series of asset backed securities, holding the Underlying Precious Metal for each Series, through the Custodian, and entering into, and performing its obligations under, agreements related to the foregoing. The Issuer has, and will have, no assets other than its issued and paid-up share capital, such fees (as agreed) payable to it in connection with the issue of Certificates or entry into other obligations from time to time and any Secured Property and any other assets on which Certificates or other obligations are secured. |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Issuer is an Irish company. Under Irish law, upon an insolvency of an Irish company, when applying the proceeds of assets subject to fixed security which may have been realised in the course of a liquidation or receivership, the claims of a limited category of preferential creditors will take priority over the claims of creditors holding the relevant fixed security. |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Section E - Offer |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Element | Description of Element | Disclosure requirement |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
E.2b | Reasons for the offer and use of proceeds | Not applicable - the reasons for the offer and use of proceeds are not different from making profit and/or hedging. |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
E.3 | Terms and conditions of the offer | Offers and sales of the Certificates to an investor by an Authorised Participant will be made, in accordance with any terms and other arrangements in place between such Authorised Participant and such investor including as to price, allocations and settlement arrangements. Neither the Issuer nor the Arranger will be a party to any such arrangements with investors (except where the Arranger itself offers Certificates to an investor) and, accordingly, this Base Prospectus and any Final Terms may not contain such information and, in such case, an investor must obtain such information from the relevant Authorised Participant or the Arranger, as applicable. Investors should however note the following: Amount of the offer: The number of Certificates subject to the offer will be determined on the basis of the demand for the Certificates and prevailing market conditions and be published, provided that the aggregate number of all Certificates of any and all Series outstanding from time to time shall not in any event exceed 1,000,000,000 (the "Programme Limit"). Offer Price: The offer price per Certificate will be equal to the Issue Price, subject to any applicable fees and commissions of the person offering such Certificate.

Issue Date: 20/02/2015 |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
E.4 | Material interests in the offer | Source UK Services Limited which is acting as Portfolio Adviser and Arranger in respect of the Programme has a relationship with certain Authorised Participants under the Programme and may have a relationship with future Authorised Participants appointed to the Programme. Such relationships may therefore potentially give rise to conflicts of interest which are adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders. The Authorised Participants and/or their affiliates actively trade in commodities markets. These activities could give rise to conflicts of interest which are adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders and could adversely affect the market value of the Certificates. |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
E.7 | Expenses chargeable to Investors | In connection with the redemption of any Certificate at the option of a Certificateholder, a redemption notice fee of up to US$500.00 will be payable by the relevant Certificateholder.
