abrdn Palladium ETF Trust

Under the Custody Agreements, the Trustee, the Sponsor and the Trust’s auditors and inspectors may, only up to twice a year, visit the premises of the Custodian for the purpose of examining the Trust’s palladium and certain related records maintained by the Custodian. The Trustee and the Sponsor have no right to visit the premises of any sub-custodian for the purposes of examining the Trust’s palladium or any records maintained by the sub-custodian, and no sub-custodian is obligated to cooperate in any review the Trustee or the Sponsor may wish to conduct of the facilities, procedures, records or creditworthiness of such sub-custodian.

The Sponsor has exercised its right to visit the Custodian in order to examine the palladium and the records maintained by the Custodian. Inspections were conducted by Bureau Veritas Commodities UK Ltd, a leading commodity inspection and testing company retained by the Sponsor, as of July 26, 2024 and January 4, 2025. The results can be found on www.abrdn.com/usa/etf.

There can be no guarantee that the Sponsor or the Trust’s auditors and inspectors will be able to perform physical inspections of the Trust’s palladium as planned. Local policies, regulations, or ordinances, as well as polices or restrictions adopted by the Custodian or a sub-custodian, may temporarily prevent, or otherwise impair the ability of, the Sponsor or the Trust’s auditors and inspectors, from performing a physical inspection of the Trust’s palladium on a desired date. In those situations, the Sponsor or the Trust’s auditors and inspectors may seek to verify the palladium held by the Trust by alternate means, including through virtual inspections of the Trust’s palladium and/or a review of pertinent records.
