ETFS Commodity Securities Limited (the "Issuer") gives notice of the following:
With effect from 20 October 2016 the basis of calculation of the rate of the Capital Adjustment will change. The rate of the Capital Adjustment is currently the weekly 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill rate less a spread of 0.45 per cent. per annum in the case of Classic Commodity Contracts, 0.60 per cent. per annum in the case of Longer Dated Commodity Contracts, 0.85 per cent. per annum in respect of the One Times Short Commodity Securities, 1.90 per cent. per annum in respect of the Three Times Short Individual Securities, 1.30 per cent. per annum in respect of the Two Times Long Commodity Securities and 1.60 per cent. in respect of the Three Times Long Individual Securities (reflecting the risk taken by the Commodity Contract Counterparties) and less Management Fee and the Licence Allowance.
As at 19 September 2016, the rate of the Capital Adjustment was as follows:
| Daily | Annual* |
Classic and Longer Dated Commodity Securities |
|
