SPDR SERIES TRUST
STATE STREET SPDR BLOOMBERG ENHANCED ROLL YIELD COMMODITY STRATEGY NO K-1 ETF
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2026 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
SPDR Series Trust (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company.
As of April 30, 2026, the Trust consists of eighty-five (85) series, each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $0.01 par value. The financial statements herein relate to the State Street SPDR Bloomberg Enhanced Roll Yield Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (formerly SPDR Bloomberg Enhanced Roll Yield Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF) (the "Fund"), a non-diversified investment company under the 1940 Act, formed on September 4, 2024 and commenced operations on September 5, 2024, and the State Street Enhanced Roll Yield Commodity Cayman Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund that is an exempted limited company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Subsidiary").
The Fund is classified as a non-diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
The Fund has one reportable segment. Business activities are managed on a consolidated basis and revenues are derived primarily through the Fund's investments in accordance with its investment objective. The Fund's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the President of the Trust. The CODM assesses performance based on the Fund's Total Return as reported in the Financial Highlights, and the same accounting policies are applied as described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Fund's Total Return is utilized by the CODM to compare results, including the impact of the Fund's costs, to the Fund's competitors and to the Trust's benchmark index.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
The Fund consolidates its investments in the Subsidiary. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The Fund's investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of the Fund are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board. The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Fund. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
• Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) or other unitized pooled investment vehicles that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that day’s published net asset value
SPDR SERIES TRUST
STATE STREET SPDR BLOOMBERG ENHANCED ROLL YIELD COMMODITY STRATEGY NO K-1 ETF
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
April 30, 2026 (Unaudited)
(“NAV”) per share or unit.
• Fixed income assets are generally valued at the mean of the bid and ask prices for bank loans and inflation protected securities, and at the bid price for all other fixed income assets as provided by independent pricing services or brokers.
• Swap agreements are valued daily based upon prices supplied by Board approved pricing vendors or through brokers. Depending on the product and terms of the transaction, the value of agreements is determined using a series of techniques including valuation models that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, yields, curves, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments. In the event the advisor is unable to obtain an independent, third–party valuation the agreements will be fair valued.
In the event prices or quotations are not readily available or that the application of these valuation methods results in a price for an investment that is deemed to be not representative of the fair value of such investment, fair value will be determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.
The Fund values its assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;
• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and
• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.
The value of the Fund's investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of April 30, 2026 is disclosed in the Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments and foreign exchange transactions, if any, are determined using the identified cost method.
Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, or when the information becomes available, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes.
Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Fund may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains.

Expenses
Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Fund within the Trust. Class specific expenses are borne by each class.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollars using exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, realized and unrealized capital gains on investments or certain foreign currency transactions. Foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with SSGA Funds Management, Inc.'s (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) understanding of the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Fund and are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of April 30, 2026, if any, are disclosed in the Fund's Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund follows the accounting practice known as “Equalization” by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of reacquiring the Fund shares, equivalent on a per share basis to the amount of distributable net investment income on the date of the transaction, is credited or charged to undistributed net investment income. As a result, undistributed net investment income per share is unaffected by sales or reacquisitions of the Fund shares. Amounts related to Equalization can be found on the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually, unless additional distributions are required for compliance with applicable tax regulations. The amount and character of income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with applicable tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes.
4. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Fund may enter into swap agreements, in which the Fund and counterparty agree either to make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount or a net payment upon termination. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract (“BL OTC”) or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”). Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation).
A BL OTC swap is a transaction between a fund and dealer counterparty where cash flows are exchanged between the two parties for the life of the swap. For BL OTC swaps, any upfront premiums paid are recorded as assets and any upfront fees received are recorded as liabilities and are shown as credit default swap contracts premiums paid and credit default swap contracts premiums received, respectively, in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and amortized to realized gain/loss ratably over the term of the BL OTC swap. Payments received or made by the Fund for BL OTC swaps are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses,respectively. When a BL OTC swap is terminated, the Fund will record a realized gain or

loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract, if any. Generally, the basis of the contracts is the premium received or paid.
A centrally cleared OTC swap is a transaction executed between the Fund and a dealer counterparty, then cleared by a futures commission merchant (FCM) through a clearinghouse. Once cleared, the clearinghouse serves as a central counterparty (“CCP”), with whom a exchanges cash flows for the life of the transaction, similar to transactions in futures contracts.
The Fund is required to interface with the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited as initial margin if any, are designated on the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is segregated and recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Net Cash at Broker. The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For both bi-lateral and centrally cleared OTC swaps, payments are exchanged at specified intervals, accrued daily commencing with the effective date of the contract and recorded as realized gain or (loss). Some swaps may be terminated prior to the effective date and realize a gain or loss upon termination.
Total return swaps are agreements in which there is an exchange of cash flows whereby one party commits to make payments on the total return (coupon plus capital gains/losses) of an underlying instrument in exchange for fixed or floating rate interest payments. To the extent the total return of the instrument or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment or make a payment to the counterparty.
Risks associated with Derivatives
Derivative financial instruments involve to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and/or interest rate risk in excess of the amounts reported in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions.
Derivative transactions can create investment leverage and may be highly volatile. Use of derivatives other than for hedging purposes may be considered speculative. When a Fund invests in a derivative instrument, the future exposure is potentially unlimited. The value of a derivative instrument will depend on the ability and the willingness of a Fund’s derivative counterparty to perform its obligations under the transaction. A liquid secondary market may not always exist for a Fund's derivative positions at any time and may impact the Fund's ability to establish fair market value of a derivative transaction and close out derivative positions. Although the use of derivatives is intended to complement a Fund's performance, it may instead reduce returns and increase volatility. The measurement of the risks associated with derivative instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. A Fund must set aside liquid assets or engage in other appropriate measures to cover its obligations under these derivative instruments.
Certain derivatives, including forward foreign currency contracts and some swap contracts, as applicable, are entered into under the terms and conditions of an ISDA Master Agreement, which are separately negotiated with each counterparty. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may restrict or prohibit the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements. The result would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and Deposit from broker, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged or received by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Notional principal amounts are one component used to calculate the amount of exposure to the underlying instrument, but is not the amount delivered under the contract. Accordingly, credit risk is limited to any amounts receivable from the counterparty. To reduce credit risk from potential counterparty default, a Fund enters into swap contracts with counterparties whose creditworthiness have has been recommended by SSGA FM approved by the Board. The Fund bears the market risk arising from any change in index or security values or interest rates.
The following tables summarize the value of the Fund's derivative instruments as of April 30, 2026, and the related location in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Consolidated Statement of Operations, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

For its advisory services, the Fund pays the Adviser a management fee at an annual rate of 0.28% of its average daily net assets. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. The fees were reduced for the Fund by the acquired fund fees and expenses for the period ended April 30, 2026, the net annualized advisory fee was 0.22%.
With respect to the Fund, the advisory fee is reduced by the acquired fund fees and expenses attributable to the Fund's investments in other investment companies (except acquired fund fees and expenses associated with holdings of acquired funds for cash management purposes).
From time to time, the Adviser may waive all or a portion of its management fee. The Adviser pays all of the expenses of each Fund below except for the advisory fee, amounts payable pursuant to any plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1, fees and expenses associated with holdings of acquired funds for cash management purposes, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees (including any Trustee’s counsel fees), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.
For the period ended April 30, 2026, the Adviser waived fees in the amount of $212,698.
Administrator, Custodian, Sub-Administrator and Transfer Agent

State Street Global Advisors Funds Distributors, LLC (“SSGA FD” or the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the distributor of the Trust.
Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Fund may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street Corporation, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Fund owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the period ended April 30, 2026 are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.
The fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees are paid directly by the Funds. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.
7. Income Tax Information
The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent it distributes its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.
The Fund files federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. As of October 31, 2025, SSGA FM has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on tax returns for all open years and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that would require recognition of a tax liability.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Income dividends and gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax rules and regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

The Fund gains exposure to commodity-linked derivative instruments by investing in its wholly-owned Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. As a U.S. shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation, the Fund will include in its taxable income its share of the wholly-owned Subsidiary’s income and capital gains, to the extent of its earnings and profits. Net investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
As of April 30, 2026, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments and other financial instruments based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

The Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness, such as COVID-19, or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments.
New or escalation of hostilities in the Middle East region could disrupt energy production or transportation, including through key shipping routes, which may lead to increased volatility in energy and other commodity prices. The extent and duration of these conflicts, and others around the world, are impossible to predict but could continue to be significant. Market disruption caused by these conflicts, and any countermeasures or responses thereto (including international sanctions, a downgrade in a country's credit rating, purchasing and financing restrictions, boycotts, tariffs, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences, cyberattacks and espionage) could continue to have severe adverse impacts on regional and/or global securities and commodities markets, including markets for oil and natural gas. These impacts may include reduced market liquidity, distress in credit markets, further disruption of global supply chains, increased risk of inflation, and limited access to investments in certain international markets and/or issuers. These developments and other related events could negatively impact a Fund's performance.
Commodities and Commodity-Linked Derivatives Risk
Commodity prices can have significant volatility, and exposure to commodities can cause the net asset value of Fund shares to decline or fluctuate in a rapid and unpredictable manner. A liquid secondary market may not exist for certain commodity investments, which may make it difficult for the Fund to sell them at a desirable price or at the price at which it is carrying them. The value of commodities and commodity-linked derivative instruments typically is based upon the price movements of a physical commodity or an economic variable linked to such price movements. Therefore, the value of commodities and commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by, for example, changes in overall market movements, economic conditions, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular commodity or industry,such as production, supply, demand, drought, floods, weather, political, economic and regulatory developments. These factors may impair the ability of the Fund to sell its portfolio holdings quickly or for full value. Commodity-linked derivatives are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the transaction may default or otherwise fail to perform.
The Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties with which the Fund enters into derivatives instruments, as well as other transactions. If a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations, the Fund may be unable to terminate or realize any gain on the investment or transaction, or to recover collateral posted to the counterparty, resulting in a loss to the Fund. If the Fund holds collateral posted by its counterparty, it may be
