Current report
The United States, under the Trump administration has implemented significant tariff increases on imports from a large number of countries, affecting a broad array of goods, and signaled that additional tariffs might be imposed. These actions were part of a broader shift in trade policy that has at times been difficult to predict. The potential for further escalation, including the imposition of new or higher tariffs with limited notice, has contributed to increased uncertainty in global markets. In response, other countries, including the European Union and China, have announced retaliatory measures. While some tariff reductions have been implemented pursuant to temporary arrangements between the United States and various trading partners, such measures remain subject to reversal. These developments have contributed to increased volatility in foreign exchange markets, including fluctuations in the USD/euro exchange rate. Sustained or increased volatility could materially and adversely affect the performance of the Shares.
Current report
Cyber attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites. Cyber security failures or breaches of the Trust’s third party service providers (including, but not limited to, the Trustee and the Sponsor) have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of Shareholders or Authorized Participants to transact business in Shares and Baskets respectively, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. Compromises in the software supply chain or incidents at critical third-party vendors could magnify the operational impact of a cyber event and impair the Trust’s ability to process Shareholder or Basket transactions. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. The Trust and its Shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.
Current report
While the Sponsor has established business continuity plans and systems reasonably designed to detect and prevent such cyber attacks from being effective, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems. For instance, it is possible that certain existing risks have not been identified or that new risks will emerge before countervailing measures can be implemented. Furthermore, the Trust cannot control, or even necessarily influence, the cyber security plans and systems put in place by the Trust’s third party service providers. Since the Trust is dependent upon third party service providers (including the Sponsor and Trustee) for substantially all of its operational needs, the Trust is subject to the risk that a cyber attack on a service provider will materially impair its normal operations even if the Trust itself is not subject to such an attack. In addition, a service provider that has experienced a cyber security incident may divert resources normally devoted to servicing the Trust to addressing the incident, which would be likely to have an adverse effect on the Trust’s operations.

Previous report
There have been ongoing discussions and commentary regarding potential significant changes to United States trade policies, treaties and tariffs. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may increase the volatility of foreign exchange rates, including the USD/euro exchange rate. The resulting volatility could materially and adversely affect the performance of the Shares.

Previous wording
The European Union frequently faces issues involving its membership, structure, procedures and policies. For example, the United Kingdom, a former European Union member that had not adopted the euro as its currency, voted to leave the European Union in 2020. The United Kingdom is one of Europe’s largest economies and its withdrawal from the European Union had wide ranging political and economic implications in the region. If other member states withdraw from the European Union, this may result in increased volatility and uncertainty, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the region, which could increase volatility in the market prices of the euro and the Shares. Increased volatility could, in itself, decrease the value of the Shares.
Current wording
The European Union frequently faces issues involving its membership, structure, procedures and policies. Although the euro is established as the common currency of the European Union, a member state’s exit from the European Union may materially impact the euro’s value.

The United Kingdom is one of Europe’s largest economies and its withdrawal from the European Union had wide ranging political and economic implications in the region. If other member states withdraw from the European Union, this may result in increased volatility and uncertainty, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the region, which could increase volatility in the market prices of the euro and the Shares. Increased volatility could, in itself, decrease the value of the Shares.
Previous wording
Each outstanding Share represents a fractional, undivided interest in the euro held by the Trust. Recently, the amount of interest earned by the Trust has not exceeded the Trust’s expenses; accordingly, the Trustee has been required to withdraw euro from the Trust to pay these excess expenses. As long as the amount of interest earned does not exceed expenses, the amount of euro represented by each Share will gradually decline over time. This is true even if additional Shares are issued in exchange for additional deposits of euro into the Trust, as the amount of euro required to create Shares will proportionately reflect the amount of euro represented by the Shares outstanding at the time of creation. Assuming a constant euro price, if expenses exceed interest earned, the trading price of the Shares will gradually decline relative to the price of the euro as the amount of euro represented by the Shares gradually declines. In this event, the Shares will only maintain their original price if the price of the euro increases. There is no guarantee that interest earned by the Trust in the future will exceed the Trust’s expenses.
Current wording
Each outstanding Share represents a fractional, undivided interest in the euro held by the Trust. The amount of interest earned by the Trust has not always exceeded expenses. That was not the case in 2025, when interest income exceeded expenses by a significant margin; but, when expenses exceed interest income, the Trustee needs to withdraw euro from the Trust to pay the excess expenses. As long as the amount of interest earned does not exceed expenses, the amount of euro represented by each Share will gradually decline over time. This is true even if additional Shares are issued in exchange for additional deposits of euro into the Trust, as the amount of euro required to create Shares will proportionately reflect the amount of euro represented by the Shares outstanding at the time of creation. Assuming a constant euro price, if expenses exceed interest earned, the trading price of the Shares will gradually decline relative to the price of the euro as the amount of euro represented by the Shares gradually declines. In this event, the Shares will only maintain their original price if the price of the euro increases. There is no guarantee that interest earned by the Trust in the future will exceed the Trust’s expenses.
Previous wording
The Trust has no proprietary rights in or to any specific euro held by the Depository and will be an unsecured creditor of the Depository with respect to the euro held in the Deposit Accounts in the event of the insolvency of the Depository or the U.S. bank of which it is a branch. In the event the Depository or the U.S. bank of which it is a branch becomes insolvent, the Depository’s assets may not be adequate to satisfy a claim by the Trust or any Authorized Participant for the amount of euro deposited by the Trust or the Authorized Participant and, in such event, the Trust and any Authorized Participant will generally have no right in or to assets other than those of the Depository.
