The Trust&#x2019;s policy is to value its investment at fair value.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;">The iShares Silver Trust (the &#x201c;Trust&#x201d;) is a grantor trust formed under the laws of the State of New York. The Trust does not have any officers, directors, or employees, and is administered by The Bank of New York Mellon (the &#x201c;Trustee&#x201d;) acting as trustee pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Depositary Trust Agreement (the &#x201c;Trust Agreement&#x201d;) between the Trustee and iShares Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC, the sponsor of the Trust (the &#x201c;Sponsor&#x201d;). The Trust issues units of beneficial interest (&#x201c;Shares&#x201d;) representing fractional undivided beneficial interests in its net assets. The assets of the Trust consist primarily of silver bullion held by a custodian as an agent of the Trust responsible only to the Trustee.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;">The Trust is a passive investment vehicle and seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of silver. The Trust seeks to reflect such performance before payment of the Trust&#x2019;s expenses and liabilities.

  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;">On each business day, as soon as practicable after 4:00 p.m. (New York time), the Trustee evaluates the silver held by the Trust and determines the net asset value of the Trust and net asset value per Share (&#x201c;NAV&#x201d;). The Trustee values the silver held by the Trust using the price per ounce of silver determined in an electronic auction hosted by ICE Benchmark Administration (&#x201c;IBA&#x201d;) that begins at 12:00 p.m. (London time) and published shortly thereafter, on the day the valuation takes place (such price, the &#x201c;LBMA Silver Price&#x201d;). If there is no announced LBMA Silver Price on any day, the Trustee is authorized to use the most recently announced LBMA Silver Price unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate as a basis for evaluation. The LBMA Silver Price is used by the Trust because it is commonly used by the U.S. silver market as an indicator of the value of silver and is permitted to be used under the Trust Agreement. The use of an indicator of the value of silver bullion other than the LBMA Silver Price could result in materially different fair value pricing of the silver held by the Trust, and as such, could result in different cost or market adjustments or in different redemption value adjustments of the outstanding redeemable capital Shares. Having valued the silver held by the Trust, the Trustee then subtracts all accrued fees, expenses and other liabilities of the Trust from the total value of the silver held by the Trust and other assets of the Trust. The result is the net asset value of the Trust. The Trustee computes NAV by dividing the net asset value of the Trust by the number of Shares outstanding on the date the computation is made.</p>

In exchange for a fee, the Sponsor has agreed to assume most of the expenses incurred by the Trust. As a result, the only ordinary expense of the Trust during the period covered by this report was the Sponsor&#x2019;s fee. The Trust&#x2019;s only source of liquidity is its sales of silver.</p>

The increase in the Trust&#x2019;s net asset value resulted primarily from an increase in the LBMA Silver Price, which rose 32.94% from $17.85 at June 30, 2020 to $23.73 at September 30, 2020. The Trust&#x2019;s net asset value also benefited from an increase in number of outstanding Shares, which rose from 534,350,000 Shares at June 30, 2020 to 589,850,000 Shares at September 30, 2020, a consequence of 139,600,000 Shares (2,792 Baskets) being created and 84,100,000 Shares (1,682 Baskets) being redeemed during the quarter.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;">An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and has now been spread globally. This outbreak has resulted in travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, event cancellations, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumer demand, layoffs, defaults and other significant economic impacts, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of this outbreak has adversely affected the economies of many nations and the entire global economy and may impact individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. Other infectious illness outbreaks that may arise in the future could have similar impacts. Public health crises caused by the outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;">The COVID-19 outbreak may continue to have serious negative effects on social, economic and financial systems, including significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets. For instance, the suspension of operations of mines, refineries and vaults that extract, produce or store silver, restrictions on travel that delay or prevent the transportation of silver, and an increase in demand for silver may disrupt supply chains for silver, which could cause secondary market spreads to widen and compromise our ability to settle transactions on time. Any inability of the Trust to issue or redeem Shares or the Custodian or any sub-custodian to receive or deliver silver as a result of the outbreak will negatively affect the Trust&#x2019;s operations.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;">The duration of the outbreak and its effects cannot be determined with certainty. A prolonged outbreak could result in an increase of the costs of the Trust, affect liquidity in the market for silver as well as the correlation between the price of the Shares and the net asset value of the Trust, any of which could adversely affect the value of your Shares. In addition, the outbreak could also impair the information technology and other operational systems upon which the Trust&#x2019;s service providers, including the Sponsor, the Trustee and the Custodian, rely, and could otherwise disrupt the ability of employees of the Trust&#x2019;s service providers to perform essential tasks on behalf of the Trust. Governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and regulators throughout the world have in the past responded to major economic disruptions with a variety of fiscal and monetary policy changes, including, but not limited to, direct capital infusions into companies, new monetary programs and lower interest rates. An unexpected or quick reversal of these policies, or the ineffectiveness of these policies, is likely to increase volatility in the market for silver, which could adversely affect the price of the Shares.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;">&#xa0;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;">Further, the outbreak could interfere with or prevent the operation of the electronic auction hosted by IBA to determine the LBMA Silver Price, which the Trustee uses to value the silver held by the Trust and calculate the net asset value of the Trust. The outbreak could also cause the closure of futures exchanges, which could eliminate the ability of Authorized Participants to hedge purchases of Baskets, increasing trading costs of Shares and resulting in a sustained premium or discount in the Shares. Each of these outcomes would negatively impact the Trust.</p>

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The iShares Silver Trust (the &#x201c;Trust&#x201d;) was organized on &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; April 21, 2006 &lt;/em&gt;as a New York trust. The trustee is The Bank of New York Mellon (the &#x201c;Trustee&#x201d;), which is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Trust. The Trust&#x2019;s sponsor is iShares Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the &#x201c;Sponsor&#x201d;). The Trust is governed by the provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Depositary Trust Agreement (the &#x201c;Trust Agreement&#x201d;) executed by the Trustee and the Sponsor as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; December 22, 2016. &lt;/em&gt;The Trust issues units of beneficial interest (&#x201c;Shares&#x201d;) representing fractional undivided beneficial interests in its net assets.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The Trust seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of silver. The Trust seeks to reflect such performance before payment of the Trust&#x2019;s expenses and liabilities. The Trust is designed to provide a vehicle for investors to make an investment similar to an investment in silver.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The accompanying unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (&#x201c;U.S. GAAP&#x201d;) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;10&lt;/em&gt;-Q and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#x201c;SEC&#x201d;). In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim period financial statements, have been made. Interim period results are &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; necessarily indicative of results for a full-year period. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Trust&#x2019;s financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;10&lt;/em&gt;-K for the year ended &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; December 31, 2019, &lt;/em&gt;as filed with the SEC on &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; February 27, 2020.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The Trust qualifies as an investment company solely for accounting purposes and &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; for any other purpose and follows the accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;946,&lt;/em&gt; &lt;i&gt;Financial&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Services&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;-&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Investment&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Companies,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;but is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; registered, and is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; required to be registered, as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;1940,&lt;/em&gt; as amended.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., London branch (the &#x201c;Custodian&#x201d;), is responsible for the safekeeping of silver bullion owned by the Trust.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;Fair value of the silver bullion held by the Trust is based on the price per ounce of silver determined in an electronic auction consisting of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;one&lt;/em&gt; or more &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;30&#x2011;second&lt;/em&gt; rounds hosted by ICE Benchmark Administration (&#x201c;IBA&#x201d;) that begins at &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;12:00&lt;/em&gt; p.m. (London time) and published shortly thereafter on each day that the London silver market is open for business (such price, the &#x201c;LBMA Silver Price&#x201d;). If there is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; announced LBMA Silver Price on any day, the Trustee is authorized to use the most recently announced LBMA Silver Price unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate as a basis for evaluation.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;Gain or loss on sales of silver bullion is calculated on a trade date basis using the average cost method.&lt;/p&gt;

The Trustee computes the net asset value per Share by dividing the net asset value of the Trust by the number of Shares outstanding on the date the computation is made.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;Trust Shares are issued and redeemed continuously in aggregations of 50,000 Shares in exchange for silver bullion rather than cash. Individual investors cannot purchase or redeem Shares in direct transactions with the Trust. The Trust only transacts with registered broker-dealers that are eligible to settle securities transactions through the book-entry facilities of the Depository Trust Company and that have entered into a contractual&#160;arrangement with the Trustee and the Sponsor governing, among other matters, the creation and redemption of Shares (such broker-dealers, the &#x201c;Authorized Participants&#x201d;). Holders of Shares of the Trust &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;redeem their Shares at any time acting through an Authorized Participant and in the prescribed aggregations of 50,000 Shares&#x37e; &lt;i&gt;provided&lt;/i&gt;, that redemptions of Shares &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;be suspended during any period while regular trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (&#x201c;NYSE Arca&#x201d;) is suspended or restricted, or in which an emergency exists as a result of which delivery, disposal or evaluation of silver is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; reasonably practicable.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;


   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The per Share amount of silver exchanged for a purchase or redemption represents the per Share amount of silver held by the Trust, after giving effect to its liabilities.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;When silver bullion is exchanged in settlement of a redemption, it is considered a sale of silver bullion for accounting purposes.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The Trust is treated as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes and, therefore, &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; provision for federal income taxes is required. Any interest, expenses, gains and losses are passed through to the holders of Shares of the Trust.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The Sponsor has analyzed applicable tax laws and regulations and their application to the Trust as of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; September 30, 2020 &lt;/em&gt;and does &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"/&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., London branch (the &#x201c;Custodian&#x201d;), is responsible for the safekeeping of silver bullion owned by the Trust.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;Fair value of the silver bullion held by the Trust is based on the price per ounce of silver determined in an electronic auction consisting of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;one&lt;/em&gt; or more &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;30&#x2011;second&lt;/em&gt; rounds hosted by ICE Benchmark Administration (&#x201c;IBA&#x201d;) that begins at &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;12:00&lt;/em&gt; p.m. (London time) and published shortly thereafter on each day that the London silver market is open for business (such price, the &#x201c;LBMA Silver Price&#x201d;). If there is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;no&lt;/em&gt; announced LBMA Silver Price on any day, the Trustee is authorized to use the most recently announced LBMA Silver Price unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate as a basis for evaluation.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;Gain or loss on sales of silver bullion is calculated on a trade date basis using the average cost method.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;Trust Shares are issued and redeemed continuously in aggregations of 50,000 Shares in exchange for silver bullion rather than cash. Individual investors cannot purchase or redeem Shares in direct transactions with the Trust. The Trust only transacts with registered broker-dealers that are eligible to settle securities transactions through the book-entry facilities of the Depository Trust Company and that have entered into a contractual&#160;arrangement with the Trustee and the Sponsor governing, among other matters, the creation and redemption of Shares (such broker-dealers, the &#x201c;Authorized Participants&#x201d;). Holders of Shares of the Trust &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;redeem their Shares at any time acting through an Authorized Participant and in the prescribed aggregations of 50,000 Shares&#x37e; &lt;i&gt;provided&lt;/i&gt;, that redemptions of Shares &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;be suspended during any period while regular trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (&#x201c;NYSE Arca&#x201d;) is suspended or restricted, or in which an emergency exists as a result of which delivery, disposal or evaluation of silver is &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; reasonably practicable.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;


   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;The per Share amount of silver exchanged for a purchase or redemption represents the per Share amount of silver held by the Trust, after giving effect to its liabilities.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;When silver bullion is exchanged in settlement of a redemption, it is considered a sale of silver bullion for accounting purposes.&lt;/p&gt;

The Trust&#x2019;s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;be made against the Trust that have &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; yet occurred.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;Substantially all of the Trust&#x2019;s assets are holdings of silver bullion, which creates a concentration risk associated with fluctuations in the price of silver. Accordingly, a decline in the price of silver will have an adverse effect on the value of the Shares of the Trust. Factors that &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;have the effect of causing a decline in the price of silver include a change in economic conditions (such as a recession); a significant increase in the hedging activities of silver producers; significant changes in the attitude of speculators, investors and other market participants towards silver; global silver supply and demand; global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations; investors&#x2019; expectations with respect to the rate of inflation; interest rates; investment and trading activities of hedge funds and commodity funds; other economic variables such as income growth, economic output, and monetary policies; and investor confidence.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Trust would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Trust&#x2019;s policy is to value its investment at fair value.&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;"&gt;Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. Inputs &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;be based on independent market data (&#x201c;observable inputs&#x201d;) or they &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt; may &lt;/em&gt;be internally developed (&#x201c;unobservable inputs&#x201d;). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;three&lt;/em&gt; broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;three&lt;/em&gt; levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; text-indent: 0px;"&gt;

     &lt;tr style="vertical-align: top;"&gt;
      &lt;td style="width: 36pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td style="width: 45pt;"&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: left; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Level &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;1&lt;/em&gt; &#x2013;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: left; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities&#x37e;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/td&gt;
     &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;/tbody&gt;
   &lt;/table&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

      &lt;td&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0pt; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;1&lt;/em&gt; 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 &lt;em style="font: inherit;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means&#x37e; and&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/td&gt;
     &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;/tbody&gt;

     &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;/tbody&gt;
   &lt;/table&gt;

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.</p>

   <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;">Fair value of the silver bullion held by the Trust is based on the price per ounce of silver determined in an electronic auction consisting of <em style="font: inherit;">one</em> or more <em style="font: inherit;">30&#8209;second</em> rounds hosted by ICE Benchmark Administration (&#8220;IBA&#8221;) that begins at <em style="font: inherit;">12:00</em> p.m. (London time) and published shortly thereafter on each day that the London silver market is open for business (such price, the &#8220;LBMA Silver Price&#8221;). If there is <em style="font: inherit;">no</em> announced LBMA Silver Price on any day, the Trustee is authorized to use the most recently announced LBMA Silver Price unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate as a basis for evaluation.</p>
   <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;">Gain or loss on sales of silver bullion is calculated on a trade date basis using the average cost method.</p>

Individual investors cannot purchase or redeem Shares in direct transactions with the Trust. The Trust only transacts with registered broker-dealers that are eligible to settle securities transactions through the book-entry facilities of the Depository Trust Company and that have entered into a contractual&#160;arrangement with the Trustee and the Sponsor governing, among other matters, the creation and redemption of Shares (such broker-dealers, the &#8220;Authorized Participants&#8221;). Holders of Shares of the Trust <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em>redeem their Shares at any time acting through an Authorized Participant and in the prescribed aggregations of 50,000 Shares&#894; <i>provided</i>, that redemptions of Shares <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em>be suspended during any period while regular trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (&#8220;NYSE Arca&#8221;) is suspended or restricted, or in which an emergency exists as a result of which delivery, disposal or evaluation of silver is <em style="font: inherit;">not</em> reasonably practicable.</p>

   <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;">Substantially all of the Trust&#8217;s assets are holdings of silver bullion, which creates a concentration risk associated with fluctuations in the price of silver. Accordingly, a decline in the price of silver will have an adverse effect on the value of the Shares of the Trust. Factors that <em style="font: inherit;"> may </em>have the effect of causing a decline in the price of silver include a change in economic conditions (such as a recession); a significant increase in the hedging activities of silver producers; significant changes in the attitude of speculators, investors and other market participants towards silver; global silver supply and demand; global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations; investors&#8217; expectations with respect to the rate of inflation; interest rates; investment and trading activities of hedge funds and commodity funds; other economic variables such as income growth, economic output, and monetary policies; and investor confidence.</p>

   <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;">U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Trust would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Trust&#8217;s policy is to value its investment at fair value.</p>
   <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left;">&#160;</p>
   <p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt;">Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.</p>

Temporary equity is a security with redemption features that are outside the control of the issuer, is not classified as an asset or liability in conformity with GAAP, and is not mandatorily redeemable. Includes any type of security that is redeemable at a fixed or determinable price or on a fixed or determinable date or dates, is redeemable at the option of the holder, or has conditions for redemption which are not solely within the control of the issuer. If convertible, the issuer does not control the actions or events necessary to issue the maximum number of shares that could be required to be delivered under the conversion option if the holder exercises the option to convert the stock to another class of equity. If the security is a warrant or a rights issue, the warrant or rights issue is considered to be temporary equity if the issuer cannot demonstrate that it would be able to deliver upon the exercise of the option by the holder in all cases. Includes stock with put option held by ESOP and stock redeemable by holder only in the event of a change in control of the issuer.</p></div>
