Note 1 – Organization

Invesco Galaxy Ethereum ETF (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust formed on September 27, 2023, pursuant to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (“DSTA”). The Trust continuously issues common shares representing fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the Trust (“Shares”). The Trust operates pursuant to its Second Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement, dated as of June 21, 2024 (the “Trust Agreement”). CSC Delaware Trust Company, a Delaware trust company, is the Delaware trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”). The Trust is managed and controlled by Invesco Capital Management LLC (the “Sponsor”).

The Trust offers Shares only to certain eligible financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”) in one or more blocks of 5,000 Shares (“Creation Baskets”) based on the quantity of ether attributable to each Share of the Trust. The Trust has an unlimited number of shares authorized for issuance.

On June 17, 2024, Invesco Ltd., subject to certain conditions, purchased 4,000 Shares (the “Initial Seed Shares”) in exchange for $100,000, which comprised the initial purchase of the Trust’s Shares. Delivery of the Shares was made on June 17, 2024. On July 8, 2024, Invesco Ltd. redeemed all of its Initial Seed Shares for cash at a per-Share price of $25.00 for a total redemption value of $100,000. At the same time on July 8, 2024, Invesco Ltd. created 3,000 shares at a price of $30.042 per Share based on the Lukka Prime Ethereum Reference Rate (the “Benchmark”) price as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 8, 2024. The Benchmark is designed to provide an estimated fair market value price for ether, based on the execution price of ether on its principal market. The price of the Shares acquired by the Invesco Ltd. was determined based on the price of the Benchmark. On July 24, 2024, Invesco Ltd. sold all of its Shares.

Effective July 22, 2024, the Trust’s registration statement was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Trust commenced trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”) on July 23, 2024.

The Trust’s investment objective is to reflect the performance of the spot price of ether as measured using the Benchmark, less the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Trust will hold ether. Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC (the “Ethereum Custodian”) will hold all of the Trust’s ether on the Trust’s behalf as Ethereum Custodian.

The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), the Trust's “Administrator,” calculates, and the Sponsor publishes, the Trust's Net Asset Value (“NAV”) once each business day. To calculate the NAV, the Administrator totals the current market value of ether in the Trust and any other assets, and subtracts any liabilities including accrued but unpaid expenses. The Trust's NAV is an amount denominated in U.S. dollars.
