Bullion Redemption Process
Please read the prospectus carefully for definitive redemption details and instructions via the links provided above.
Generally speaking, if a unitholder desires to redeem trust units for bullion, and such unitholder holds his, her or its units through the direct registration system ("DRS"), the holder first has to request and then receive a trust unit certificate before engaging in the redemption process. A Redemption Notice must be received by the transfer agent (TSX Trust Company) no later than 4:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the 15th day of the month in which the Redemption Notice will be processed or, if such day is not a business day, then on the immediately following day that is a business day. Any Redemption Notice received after such time will be processed in the next month. Any Redemption Notice must include a valid signature guarantee to be deemed valid by the Trust.
