On May 18, 2026, prior to the open of trading on NYSE Arca, Inc., abrdn Platinum ETF Trust (the “Registrant”) effected a 10-for-1 forward split (the “Split”) of the abrdn Physical Platinum Shares ETF (the “Shares”) issued by the Registrant. The post-Split Shares began trading on May 18, 2026. The Registrant previously announced the Split in its press release dated April 22, 2026. As a result of the Split, every pre-Split Share held of record as of the close of the markets on May 14, 2026 was automatically exchanged for ten post-Split Shares. Immediately prior to the Split, there were 13,700,000 Shares issued and outstanding, each representing a net asset value (“NAV”) of $178.62. Immediately after the Split, the number of issued and outstanding Shares increased to 137,000,000, and the NAV per Share decreased to $17.86. The Split did not affect the Shares’ CUSIP number or ticker symbol (PPLT).
