Such distributions are subject to the Sponsor's approval and its continuing determination that such distributions are in the best interests of the Trust and its Shareholders. The amount of any distribution will depend on the amount of premium or other income received by the Trust, applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and the Trust's operational and liquidity needs.
