The Sponsor was notified that certain assets of Friedman LLP (“Friedman”), the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm, were acquired by Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) effective September 1, 2022. On September 27, 2022, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Sponsor approved the dismissal of Friedman and the engagement of Marcum to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Trust. As of September 1, 2022, the services previously provided by Friedman are provided by Marcum.

In the table above, in accordance with the SEC’s definitions and rules, Audit Fees are fees paid to Marcum for professional services for the audit of the Trust’s financial statements included in the annual report on Form 10-K and review of financial statements included in the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and for services that are normally provided by the accountants in connection with regulatory filings or engagements.

Pre-Approved Policies and Procedures

The Trust has no board of directors, and as a result, has no audit committee or pre-approval policy with respect to fees paid to its principal accounting firm. Such determinations, including for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, are made by the Sponsor’s Board of Directors and Audit Committee.
