  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes statements which relate to future events or future performance. In some cases, you can identify such forward&#8209;looking statements by terminology such as &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;could,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;predict,&#8221; &#8220;potential&#8221; or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. All statements (other than statements of historical fact) included in this report that address activities, events or developments that may occur in the future, including such matters as changes in commodity prices and market conditions (for silver and the shares), the operations of iShares Silver Trust (the &#8220;Trust&#8221;), the plans of iShares Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC (the &#8220;Sponsor&#8221;), the sponsor of the Trust, and references to the Trust&#8217;s future success and other similar matters are forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. These statements are based upon certain assumptions and analyses made by the Sponsor on the basis of its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Whether or not actual results and developments will conform to the Sponsor&#8217;s expectations and predictions, however, is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the special considerations discussed in this report, general economic, market and business conditions, changes in laws or regulations, including those concerning taxes, made by governmental authorities or regulatory bodies and other world economic and political developments. See Item 1A. &#8220;Risk Factors.&#8221; Consequently, all the forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments the Sponsor anticipates will be realized or, even if substantially realized, will result in the expected consequences to, or have the expected effects on, the Trust&#8217;s operations or the value of the shares issued by the Trust. Although the Sponsor does not make forward&#8209;looking statements unless it believes it has a reasonable basis for doing so, the Sponsor cannot guarantee their accuracy. Neither the Trust nor the Sponsor is under any duty to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform such statements to actual results or to a change in the expectations or predictions.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The purpose of the iShares Silver Trust (the &#8220;Trust&#8221;) is to own silver transferred to the Trust in exchange for shares issued by the Trust (&#8220;Shares&#8221;). Each Share represents a fractional undivided beneficial interest in the net assets of the Trust. The assets of the Trust consist primarily of silver held by the Trust&#8217;s custodian on behalf of the Trust. However, there may be situations where the Trust will unexpectedly hold cash. For example, a claim may arise against a third party, which is settled in cash. In situations where the Trust unexpectedly receives cash or other assets, no new Shares will be issued until after the record date for the distribution of such cash or other property has passed.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Trust was formed on April 21, 2006 when an initial deposit of silver was made in exchange for the issuance of three Baskets (a &#8220;Basket&#8221; consists of 50,000 Shares). The Trust is a grantor trust formed under the laws of the State of New York.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The sponsor of the Trust is iShares Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC (the &#8220;Sponsor&#8221;), a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (&#8220;BlackRock&#8221;). The trustee of the Trust is The Bank of New York Mellon (the &#8220;Trustee&#8221;) and the custodian of the Trust is JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., London branch (the &#8220;Custodian&#8221;). The agreement between the Trust and the Custodian is governed by English law. The Trust does not have any officers, directors or employees.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Trust&#8217;s net asset value decreased from $11,160,084,971 at December 31, 2022 to $10,389,177,775 at December 31, 2023, the Trust&#8217;s fiscal year end. Outstanding Shares of the Trust decreased from 506,550,000 Shares outstanding at December 31, 2022 to 477,000,000 Shares outstanding at December 31, 2023.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The activities of the Trust are limited to (1) issuing Baskets in exchange for the silver deposited with the Custodian as consideration, (2) selling silver as necessary to cover the Sponsor&#8217;s fee, Trust expenses not assumed by the Sponsor and other liabilities, and (3) delivering silver in exchange for Baskets surrendered for redemption. The Trust is not actively managed. It does not engage in any activities designed to obtain a profit from, or to ameliorate losses caused by, changes in the price of silver.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Sponsor of the Trust maintains a website at www.ishares.com, through which the Trust&#8217;s annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (&#8220;Exchange Act&#8221;), are made available free of charge after they have been filed or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;). Additional information regarding the Trust may also be found on the SEC&#8217;s EDGAR database at www.sec.gov.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">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&#8217;s expenses and liabilities. The Shares are intended to constitute a simple and cost-effective means of making an investment similar to an investment in silver. An investment in physical silver requires expensive and sometimes complicated arrangements in connection with the assay, transportation, warehousing and insurance of the metal. Traditionally, such expense and complications have resulted in investments in physical silver being efficient only in amounts beyond the reach of many investors. The Shares have been designed to remove the obstacles represented by the expense and complications involved in an investment in physical silver, while at the same time having an intrinsic value that reflects, at any given time, the price of the silver owned by the Trust at such time, less the Trust&#8217;s expenses and liabilities. Although the Shares are not the exact equivalent of an investment in silver, they provide investors with an alternative that allows a level of participation in the silver market through the securities market.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">An investment in Shares is:</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"><i>Backed by silver held by the Custodian on behalf of the Trust.</i></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Shares are backed by the assets of the Trust. The Trustee&#8217;s arrangements with the Custodian contemplate that at the end of each business day there can be in the Trust account maintained by the Custodian no more than 1,100 ounces of silver in an unallocated form. The bulk of the Trust&#8217;s silver holdings is represented by physical silver, is identified on the Custodian&#8217;s or, if applicable, the sub-custodian&#8217;s books in allocated and unallocated accounts on behalf of the Trust and is held by the Custodian in London, New York and other locations that may be authorized in the future.&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"><i>As accessible and easy to handle as any other investment in shares.</i></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Retail investors may purchase and sell Shares through traditional brokerage accounts. Because the intrinsic value of each Share is a function of the price of the silver held by the Trust, the cash outlay necessary for an investment in Shares should be less than the amount required for currently existing means of investing in physical silver.

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Because the expenses involved in an investment in physical silver are dispersed among all holders of Shares, an investment in Shares may represent a cost-efficient alternative to investments in physical silver for investors not otherwise in a position to participate directly in the market for physical silver.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">While the Trust seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of silver less the Trust&#8217;s expenses and liabilities, Shares may trade at, above or below their net asset value per Share (the &#8220;NAV&#8221;). The NAV of the Shares will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Trust&#8217;s assets. The trading prices of Shares will fluctuate in accordance with changes in their NAV, as well as market supply and demand. The amount of the discount or premium in the trading price relative to the NAV may be influenced by non-concurrent trading hours between the major silver markets and NYSE Arca. While the Shares trade on NYSE Arca until 4:00 p.m. (New York time), liquidity in the market for silver may be reduced after the close of the major world silver markets, including London, Zurich and the Commodity Exchange, Inc. (&#8220;COMEX&#8221;) in Chicago. As a result, during this time, trading spreads, and the resulting premium or discount, on Shares may widen. However, given that Baskets can be created and redeemed in exchange for the underlying amount of silver, the Sponsor believes that the arbitrage opportunities may provide a mechanism to mitigate the effect of such premium or discount.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Trust is not registered as an investment company for purposes of U.S. federal securities laws, and is not subject to regulation by the SEC as an investment company. Consequently, the owners of Shares do not have the regulatory protections provided to investors in registered investment companies. For example, the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the &#8220;Investment Company Act&#8221;), that limit transactions with affiliates, prohibit the suspension of redemptions (except under certain limited circumstances) or limit sales loads, among others, do not apply to the Trust.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Trust does not hold or trade in commodity futures contracts or any other instruments regulated by the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act (the &#8220;CEA&#8221;), as administered by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the &#8220;CFTC&#8221;). Furthermore, the Trust is not a commodity pool for purposes of the CEA. Consequently, the Trustee and the Sponsor are not subject to registration as commodity pool operators with respect to the Trust. The owners of Shares do not receive the CEA disclosure document and certified annual report required to be delivered by the registered commodity pool operator with respect to a commodity pool, and the owners of Shares do not have the regulatory protections provided to investors in commodity pools operated by registered commodity pool operators.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Custodian is responsible for safekeeping the silver owned by the Trust. The Custodian may keep the Trust&#8217;s silver at its vault premises in England or New York, or at the vaults of any sub-custodian in England or New York, unless otherwise agreed between the Custodian and the Trustee (with the Sponsor&#8217;s approval). The Custodian may use sub-custodians to discharge its obligations to the Trust. The Custodian is required to use reasonable care in the appointment of any sub-custodian. Any sub&#8209;custodian must be a member of the London Bullion Market Association (&#8220;LBMA&#8221;). The use of sub&#8209;custodians does not affect the Custodian&#8217;s liability to the Trustee under the custodian agreement between the Trustee and the Custodian (the &#8220;Custodian Agreement&#8221;).</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Custodian has agreed to use reasonable care in the performance of its duties under the Custodian Agreement and will only be responsible for any loss or damage suffered by the Trust as a direct result of any negligence, fraud or willful default on the part of the Custodian. The Custodian&#8217;s liability is limited to the market value of any silver lost and the amount of any balance held on an unallocated basis at the time of the Custodian&#8217;s negligence, fraud or willful default.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">None of the Custodian, or its directors, employees, agents or affiliates will incur any liability to the Trust if, by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation of the United Kingdom or any other country, or of any governmental or regulatory authority or stock exchange, or by reason of any act of God or war, terrorism or other circumstance beyond the Custodian&#8217;s control, the Custodian is prevented or forbidden from, or would be subject to any civil or criminal penalty on account of, or is delayed in, performing its obligations to the Trust. The Custodian has agreed to indemnify the Trustee for any loss or liability directly resulting from a breach of the Custodian&#8217;s representations and warranties in the Custodian Agreement, a failure of the Custodian to act or refrain from acting in accordance with the Trustee&#8217;s instructions or any physical loss, destruction or damage to the silver held for the Trust&#8217;s account, except for losses due to nuclear fission or fusion, radioactivity, war, terrorist event, invasion, insurrection, civil commotion, riot, strike, act of government or public authority, act of God or a similar cause that is beyond the control of the Custodian for which the Custodian will not be responsible to the Trust.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Custodian has agreed to maintain insurance in support of its custodial obligations under the Custodian Agreement, including covering any loss of silver. The Custodian has the right to reduce, cancel or allow to expire without replacement such insurance coverage, provided that it gives prior written notice to the Trustee. In the case of a cancellation or expiration without replacement, the required notice must be at least 30 days prior to the last day of coverage. The Trustee has not received from the Custodian any notice of reduction, cancellation or expiration of its insurance coverage. The insurance is held for the benefit of the Custodian, not for the benefit of the Trust or the Trustee, and the Trustee may not submit a claim under the insurance maintained by the Custodian.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Custodian has agreed to grant to the officers and properly designated representatives of the Trustee and to the independent public accountants for the Trust access to the Custodian&#8217;s records for the purpose of confirming the content of those records. Upon at least ten days&#8217; prior notice, any such officer or properly designated representative, any independent public accountants for the Trust and any person designated by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Trustee or the Trust is entitled to examine on the Custodian&#8217;s premises the silver held by the Custodian and the records regarding the silver held for the account of the Custodian at a sub-custodian. The Custodian has agreed that it will only retain sub-custodians if they agree to grant to the Trustee and the independent registered public accounting firm of the Trust access to records and inspection rights similar to those set forth above. During the period covered by this report, Bureau Veritas Commodities UK Ltd., acting as authorized representative of the Trustee pursuant to the foregoing provisions, inspected the premises where the Trust&#8217;s silver is warehoused and on May 15, 2023 issued their report summarizing their findings. Such report is posted by the Sponsor on the Trust&#8217;s website.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  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 the NAV. For purposes of making these calculations, a business day means any day other than a day when NYSE Arca is closed for regular trading.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">The Trustee values the silver held by the Trust using that day&#8217;s LBMA Silver Price.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">LBMA Silver Price is the price per ounce in U.S. dollars, of unallocated silver delivered in London determined by the ICE Benchmark Administration (&#8220;IBA&#8221;) following an electronic auction consisting of one or more 30-second rounds starting at 12:00 p.m. (London time), on each day that the London silver market is open for business, and published shortly thereafter.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">At the start of each round of auction, IBA publishes a price for that round. Participants then have 30 seconds to enter, change or cancel their orders (i.e., how much silver they want to buy or sell at that price). At the end of each round, order entry is frozen, and the system checks to see if the imbalance (i.e., the difference between buying and selling) is within the threshold (normally 500,000 ounces for silver). If the imbalance is outside the threshold at the end of a round, then the auction is not balanced, the price is adjusted and a new round starts. If the imbalance is within the threshold then the auction is finished, and the price is set as the LBMA Silver Price for that day. Any imbalance is shared equally between all direct participants (even if they did not place orders or did not log in), and the net volume for each participant trades at the final price. The prices during the auction are determined by an algorithm that takes into account current market conditions and activity in the auction. Each auction is actively supervised by IBA staff. As of the date of this report, information publicly available on IBA&#8217;s website indicates that the direct participants currently qualified to submit orders during the electronic auctions used for the daily determination of the LBMA Silver Price are Citibank, N.A. London Branch, Coins &#8217;N Things Inc., DRW Investments, LLC, Goldman Sachs International plc, HSBC Bank USA NA, Jane Street Global Trading, LLC, JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. London Branch, Koch Supply and Trading LP, Marex Financial Limited, Morgan Stanley, Standard Chartered Bank, StoneX Financial Ltd., Toronto-Dominion Bank and Virtu Financial Global Markets, LLC.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Prior to October 2, 2017, the LBMA Silver Price was determined using an electronic auction administered by CME Group and published by Thomson Reuters. Effective as of October 2, 2017, IBA replaced CME Group and Thomson Reuters as the administrator for the LBMA Silver Price and began administering the electronic auction for the LBMA Silver Price.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">If there is no 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. Once the value of the Trust&#8217;s silver has been determined, the Trustee subtracts all accrued fees, expenses and other liabilities of the Trust from the total value of the silver and all other assets of the Trust. The resulting figure is the net asset value of the Trust. The Trustee determines the NAV by dividing the net asset value of the Trust by the number of Shares outstanding on the day the computation is made.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Trust&#8217;s only ordinary recurring expense is expected to be the Sponsor&#8217;s fee. In exchange for the Sponsor&#8217;s fee, the Sponsor has agreed to assume the following administrative and marketing expenses incurred by the Trust: the Trustee&#8217;s fee, the Custodian&#8217;s fee, NYSE Arca listing fees, SEC registration fees, printing and mailing costs, audit fees and expenses, and up to $500,000 per annum in legal fees and expenses. The Sponsor may determine in its sole discretion to assume legal fees and expenses of the Trust in excess of the amount required under the Trust Agreement. To the extent that the Sponsor does not voluntarily assume such fees and expenses, they will be the responsibility of the Trust.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Sponsor&#8217;s fee is accrued daily at an annualized rate equal to 0.50% of the net asset value of the Trust and is payable monthly in arrears. The Trustee will, when directed by the Sponsor, and, in the absence of such direction, may, in its discretion, sell silver in such quantity and at such times as may be necessary to permit payment of the Sponsor&#8217;s fee and of Trust expenses or liabilities not assumed by the Sponsor. The Trustee is authorized to sell silver at such times and in the smallest amounts required to permit such payments as they become due, it being the intention to avoid or minimize the Trust&#8217;s holdings of assets other than silver. Accordingly, the amount of silver to be sold will vary from time to time depending on the level of the Trust&#8217;s expenses and the market price of silver. The Custodian has agreed to purchase from the Trust, at the request of the Trustee, silver needed to cover Trust expenses at a price equal to the price used by the Trustee to determine the value of the silver held by the Trust on the date of the sale. Cash held by the Trustee pending payment of the Trust&#8217;s expenses will not bear any interest.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Sponsor earned $53,561,823 for the year ended December 31, 2023. Each sale of silver by the Trust will be a taxable event to Shareholders. See &#8220;United States Federal Income Tax Consequences &#8211; Taxation of U.S. Shareholders.&#8221;</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Trust issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, but only in Baskets of 50,000 Shares. Only registered broker-dealers who have entered into written agreements with the Sponsor and the Trustee (each, an &#8220;Authorized Participant&#8221;), can deposit silver and receive Baskets in exchange. Upon the deposit of the corresponding amount of silver with the Custodian and the payment of the Trustee&#8217;s applicable fee and of any expenses, taxes or charges (such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees), the Trustee will deliver the appropriate number of Baskets to the Depository Trust Company account of the depositing Authorized Participant. As of the date of this report, ABN AMRO Clearing USA LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., Goldman Sachs &amp; Co. LLC, HSBC Securities (USA), Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., Merrill Lynch Professional Clearing Corp., Morgan Stanley &amp; Co. LLC., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., UBS Securities LLC and Virtu Americas LLC are the only Authorized Participants. The Sponsor and the Trustee maintain a current list of Authorized Participants. Silver deposited with the Custodian must meet the specifications for weight, dimensions, fineness (or purity), identifying marks and appearance of silver bars and as of January 1, 2020, must be produced by refiners that meet certain throughput and tangible net worth requirements as set forth in &#8220;Good Delivery List Rules - Conditions for Listing for Good Delivery Refiners&#8221; published by the LBMA.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Before making a deposit, the Authorized Participant must deliver to the Trustee a written purchase order or submit a purchase order through the Trustee&#8217;s electronic order entry system indicating the number of Baskets it intends to acquire and the location or locations where it expects to make the corresponding deposit of silver with the Custodian. The date the Trustee receives that order determines the amount of silver the Authorized Participant needs to deposit (such amount, the &#8220;Basket Silver Amount&#8221;). However, orders received by the Trustee after 3:59 p.m. (New York time) on a business day will not be accepted and should be resubmitted on the next following business day. The Trustee has entered into an agreement with the Custodian which contains arrangements so that silver can be delivered to the Custodian in London, New York or at other locations that may be authorized in the future.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">If the Trustee accepts the purchase order, it transmits to the Authorized Participant, via facsimile or electronic mail message, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date such purchase order is received, or deemed received, a copy of the purchase order endorsed &#8220;Accepted&#8221; by the Trustee and indicating the Basket Silver Amount that the Authorized Participant must deliver to the Custodian in exchange for each Basket. In the case of purchase orders submitted via the Trustee&#8217;s electronic order system, the Authorized Participant will receive an automated email indicating the acceptance of the purchase order and the purchase order will be marked &#8220;Accepted&#8221; in the Trustee&#8217;s electronic order system. Prior to the Trustee&#8217;s acceptance as specified above, a purchase order only represents the Authorized Participant&#8217;s unilateral offer to deposit silver in exchange for Baskets and has no binding effect upon the Trust, the Trustee, the Custodian or any other party.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Basket Silver Amount necessary for the creation of a Basket changes from day to day. At the time of creation of the Trust, the initial Basket Silver Amount was 500,000 ounces of silver. On each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading, the Trustee adjusts the quantity of silver constituting the Basket Silver Amount as appropriate to reflect sales of silver, any loss of silver that may occur, and accrued expenses. The computation is made by the Trustee as promptly as practicable after 4:00 p.m. (New York time). The Basket Silver Amount so determined is communicated via facsimile or electronic mail message to all Authorized Participants, and made available on the Sponsor&#8217;s website for the Shares. NYSE Arca also publishes the Basket Silver Amount determined by the Trustee as indicated above.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Because the Sponsor has assumed what are expected to be most of the Trust&#8217;s expenses and the Sponsor&#8217;s fee accrues daily at the same rate, in the absence of any extraordinary expenses or liabilities, the amount of silver by which the Basket Silver Amount decreases each day is predictable. The Trustee intends to make available on each business day, through the same channels used to disseminate the actual Basket Silver Amount determined by the Trustee as indicated above, an indicative Basket Silver Amount for the next business day. Authorized Participants may use that indicative Basket Silver Amount as guidance regarding the amount of silver that they may expect to have to deposit with the Custodian in respect of purchase orders placed by them on such next business day and accepted by the Trustee. The agreement entered into with each Authorized Participant provides, however, that once a purchase order has been accepted by the Trustee, the Authorized Participant will be required to deposit with the Custodian the Basket Silver Amount determined by the Trustee on the effective date of the purchase order.</p>

In accordance with the procedures that the Custodian has agreed to follow in connection with the creation of Shares, silver received by the Custodian no later than 11:30 a.m. (London time) is required to be allocated to the Trust&#8217;s account no later than 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on the next day that the Custodian is open for business at the place of delivery. All taxes incurred in connection with the delivery of silver to the Custodian in exchange for Baskets (including any applicable value added tax) will be the sole responsibility of the Authorized Participant making such delivery.</p>

Upon the surrender of such Shares and the payment of the Trustee&#8217;s applicable fee and of any expenses, taxes or charges (such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees), the Trustee will deliver to the order of the redeeming Authorized Participant the amount of silver corresponding to the redeemed Baskets. Shares can only be surrendered for redemption in Baskets of 50,000 Shares each.</p>

The date the Trustee receives that order determines the Basket Silver Amount to be received in exchange. However, orders received by the Trustee after 3:59 p.m. (New York time) on a business day will not be accepted and should be resubmitted on the next following business day.</p>

This is based on the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#8220;Code&#8221;), Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and judicial and administrative interpretations of the Code, all as in effect on the date of this report and all of which are subject to change either prospectively or retroactively. The tax treatment of owners of beneficial interests in the Shares (&#8220;Shareholders&#8221;) may vary depending upon their own particular circumstances. Certain Shareholders (including banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, broker dealers, traders, Shareholders that are partnerships for United States federal income tax purposes, persons holding Shares as a position in a &#8220;hedging,&#8221; &#8220;straddle,&#8221; &#8220;conversion,&#8221; or &#8220;constructive sale&#8221; transaction for United States federal income tax purposes, persons whose &#8220;functional currency&#8221; is not the U.S. dollar, or other investors with special circumstances) may be subject to special rules not discussed below. In addition, the following discussion applies only to investors who will hold Shares as &#8220;capital assets&#8221; within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. Moreover, the discussion below does not address the effect of any state, local or foreign tax law on an owner of Shares. Purchasers of Shares are urged to consult their own tax advisers with respect to all federal, state, local and foreign tax law considerations potentially applicable to their investment in Shares.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Sponsor and the Trustee will treat the Trust as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes. In the opinion of Clifford Chance US LLP, special United States federal income tax counsel to the Sponsor, the Trust will be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, the Trust itself will not be subject to United States federal income tax. Instead, the Trust&#8217;s income and expenses will flow through to the Shareholders, and the Trustee will report the Trust&#8217;s income, gains, losses and deductions to the Internal Revenue Service (&#8220;IRS&#8221;) on that basis. The opinion of Clifford Chance US LLP represents only its best legal judgment and is not binding on the IRS or any court. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with the conclusions of counsel&#8217;s opinion and it is possible that the IRS or another tax authority could assert a position contrary to one or all of those conclusions and that a court could sustain that contrary position. Neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee will request a ruling from the IRS with respect to the classification of the Trust for United States federal income tax purposes. If the IRS were to assert successfully that the Trust is not classified as a grantor trust, the Trust would be classified as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes, which may affect timing and other tax consequences to the Shareholders.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Shareholders will be treated, for United States federal income tax purposes, as if they directly owned a pro rata share of the underlying assets held in the Trust. Shareholders also will be treated as if they directly received their respective pro rata shares of the Trust&#8217;s income, if any, and as if they directly incurred their respective pro rata shares of the Trust&#8217;s expenses. In the case of a Shareholder that purchases Shares for cash, its initial tax basis in its pro rata share of the assets held in the Trust at the time it acquires its Shares will be equal to its cost of acquiring the Shares. In the case of a Shareholder that acquires its Shares as part of a creation of a Basket, the delivery of silver to the Trust in exchange for the underlying silver represented by the Shares will not be a taxable event to the Shareholder, and the Shareholder&#8217;s tax basis and holding period for the Shareholder&#8217;s pro rata share of the silver held in the Trust will be the same as its tax basis and holding period for the silver delivered in exchange therefor. For purposes of this discussion, and unless stated otherwise, it is assumed that all of a Shareholder&#8217;s Shares are acquired on the same date and at the same price per Share. Shareholders that hold multiple lots of Shares, or that are contemplating acquiring multiple lots of Shares, should consult their own tax advisers as to the determination of the tax basis and holding period for the underlying silver related to such Shares.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">When the Trust sells silver, for example to pay expenses, a Shareholder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (1) the Shareholder&#8217;s pro rata share of the amount realized by the Trust upon the sale and (2) the Shareholder&#8217;s tax basis for its pro rata share of the silver that was sold. A Shareholder&#8217;s tax basis for its share of any silver sold by the Trust generally will be determined by multiplying the Shareholder&#8217;s total basis for its share of all of the silver held in the Trust immediately prior to the sale, by a fraction the numerator of which is the amount of silver sold, and the denominator of which is the total amount of the silver held in the Trust immediately prior to the sale. After any such sale, a Shareholder&#8217;s tax basis for its pro rata share of the silver remaining in the Trust will be equal to its tax basis for its share of the total amount of the silver held in the Trust immediately prior to the sale, less the portion of such basis allocable to its share of the silver that was sold.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Upon a Shareholder&#8217;s sale of some or all of its Shares, the Shareholder will be treated as having sold the portion of its pro rata share of the silver held in the Trust at the time of the sale that is attributable to the Shares sold. Accordingly, the Shareholder generally will recognize gain or loss on the sale in an amount equal to the difference between (1) the amount realized pursuant to the sale of the Shares and (2) the Shareholder&#8217;s tax basis for the portion of its pro rata share of the silver held in the Trust at the time of sale that is attributable to the Shares sold, as determined in the manner described in the preceding paragraph.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">A redemption of some or all of a Shareholder&#8217;s Shares in exchange for the underlying silver represented by the Shares redeemed generally will not be a taxable event to the Shareholder. The Shareholder&#8217;s tax basis for the silver received in the redemption generally will be the same as the Shareholder&#8217;s tax basis for the portion of its pro rata share of the silver held in the Trust immediately prior to the redemption that is attributable to the Shares redeemed. The Shareholder&#8217;s holding period with respect to the silver received should include the period during which the Shareholder held the Shares redeemed. A subsequent sale of the silver received by the Shareholder will be a taxable event.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Under current law, gains recognized by individuals from the sale of collectibles, including silver, held for more than one year are taxed at a maximum rate of 28%, rather than the current maximum 20% rate applicable to most other long-term capital gains. For these purposes, gain recognized by an individual upon the sale of an interest in a trust that holds collectibles is treated as gain recognized on the sale of collectibles, to the extent that the gain is attributable to unrealized appreciation in value of the collectibles held by the Trust. Therefore, any gain recognized by an individual U.S. Shareholder attributable to a sale of Shares held for more than one year, or attributable to the Trust&#8217;s sale of any silver which the Shareholder is treated (through its ownership of Shares) as having held for more than one year, generally will be taxed at a maximum rate of 28%. The tax rates for capital gains recognized upon the sale of assets held by an individual U.S. Shareholder for one year or less or by a taxpayer other than an individual United States taxpayer are generally the same as those at which ordinary income is taxed.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Certain U.S. Shareholders who are individuals are required to pay a 3.8% tax on the lesser of the excess of their modified adjusted gross income over a threshold amount ($250,000 for married persons filing jointly and $200,000 for single taxpayers) or their net investment income, which generally includes capital gains from the disposition of property. This tax is in addition to any capital gains taxes due on such investment income. A similar tax will apply to estates and trusts. U.S. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the effect, if any, this law may have on their investment in the Shares.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Any brokerage or other transaction fee incurred by a Shareholder in purchasing Shares will be treated as part of the Shareholder&#8217;s tax basis in the underlying assets of the Trust. Similarly, any brokerage fee incurred by a Shareholder in selling Shares will reduce the amount realized by the Shareholder with respect to the sale.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>

Shareholders may deduct their respective pro rata shares of each expense incurred by the Trust to the same extent as if they directly incurred the expense. Shareholders who are individuals, estates or trusts, or certain closely held corporations, however, may be subject to various limitations on their ability to use their allocable share of the Trust&#8217;s deductions and losses.

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Section 408(m) of the Code provides that the purchase of a &#8220;collectible&#8221; as an investment for an individual retirement account (&#8220;IRA&#8221;), or for a participant&#8209;directed account maintained under any plan that is tax-qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, is treated as a taxable distribution from the account to the owner of the IRA, or to the participant for whom the plan account is maintained, of an amount equal to the cost to the account of acquiring the collectible. The Trust has received a private letter ruling from the IRS which provides that the purchase of Shares by an IRA or a participant-directed account maintained under a plan that is tax-qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, will not constitute the acquisition of a collectible or be treated as resulting in a taxable distribution to the IRA owner or plan participant under Code Section 408(m). However, in the event any redemption of Shares results in the distribution of silver bullion to an IRA or a participant-directed account maintained under a plan that is tax-qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, such distribution would constitute the acquisition of a collectible to the extent provided under Section 408(m) of the Code.

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The LBMA Silver Price is a silver price benchmark mechanism administered by IBA, an independent specialist benchmark administrator appointed by LBMA. Once daily during London business hours, IBA hosts an electronic auction consisting of one or more 30-second rounds.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Investors should keep in mind that electronic markets are not exempt from failures, as the experiences of the initial public offerings of Facebook and BATS Global Markets illustrate.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">As of the date of this filing, the LBMA Silver Price has been subjected to the test of actual trading markets for over eight years. As with any innovation, it is possible that electronic failures or other unanticipated events may occur that could result in delays in the announcement of, or the inability of the system to produce, an LBMA Silver Price on any given day. Furthermore, if a perception were to develop that the LBMA Silver Price is vulnerable to manipulation attempts, or if the administrative proceedings surrounding the determination and publication of the LBMA Silver Price were seen as unfair, biased or otherwise compromised by the markets, the behavior of investors and traders in silver may change, and those changes may have an effect on the price of silver (and, consequently, the value of the Shares). In any of these circumstances, the intervention of extraneous events disruptive of the normal interaction of supply and demand of silver at any given time, may result in distorted prices and losses on an investment in the Shares that, but for such extraneous events, might not have occurred.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Other effects of disruptions in the determination of the LBMA Silver Price or any inaccuracies in setting of the auction prices on the operations of the Trust include the potential for an incorrect valuation of the Trust&#8217;s silver, an inaccurate computation of the Sponsor&#8217;s fee, and the sales of silver to cover Trust expenses at prices that do not accurately reflect the fundamentals of the silver market. Each of these events could have an adverse effect on the value of the Shares. The operation of the auction process which determines the LBMA Silver Price is also dependent on the continued operation of the LBMA and the IBA and their applicable systems.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; ">The LBMA Silver Price is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom (the &#8220;FCA&#8221;).</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">As of the date of this filing, the Sponsor has no reason to believe that the LBMA Silver Price (used by the Trust since August 15, 2014 for the daily valuation of its silver and the determination of the Sponsor&#8217;s fee and the price of silver sold to cover Trust expenses) will not fairly represent the price of the silver held by the Trust. Should this situation change, the Sponsor expects to use the powers granted by the Trust&#8217;s governing documents to seek to replace the LBMA Silver Price with a more reliable indicator of the value of the Trust&#8217;s silver. There is no assurance that such alternative value indicator will be identified, or that the process of changing from the LBMA Silver Price to a new benchmark price will not adversely affect the price of the Shares.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;"><i>Future governmental decisions may have significant impact on the price of silver, which may result in a significant decrease or increase in the value of the net assets and the net asset value of the Trust.</i></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Generally, silver prices reflect the supply and demand of available silver. Governmental decisions, such as the executive order issued by the President of the United States in 1934 requiring all persons in the United States to deliver silver to the Federal Reserve, have been viewed as having significant impact on the supply and demand of silver and the price of silver. Future governmental decisions may have an impact on the price of silver and may result in a significant decrease or increase in the value of the net assets and the net asset value of the Trust. Further regulations applicable to U.S. banks and non U.S. bank entities operating in the United States with respect to their trading in physical commodities, such as precious metals, may further impact the price of silver in the United States.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; "><i>Because the Trust holds only silver, an investment in the Trust may be more volatile than an investment in a more broadly diversified portfolio.</i></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Trust holds only silver. As a result, the Trust&#8217;s holdings are not diversified. Accordingly, the Trust&#8217;s net asset value may be more volatile than another investment vehicle with a more broadly diversified portfolio and may fluctuate substantially over short or long periods of time. Fluctuations in the price of silver are expected to have a direct impact on the value of the Shares.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">An investment in the Trust may be deemed speculative and is not intended as a complete investment program. An investment in Shares should be considered only by persons financially able to maintain their investment and who can bear the risk of loss associated with an investment in the Trust. Investors should review closely the objective and strategy and redemption provisions of the Trust, as discussed herein, and familiarize themselves with the risks associated with an investment in the Trust.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; "><i>The demand for silver may temporarily exceed available supply that is acceptable for delivery to the Trust, which may adversely affect an investment in the Shares.</i></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">To the extent that demand for silver exceeds the available supply at that time, Authorized Participants may not be able to readily acquire sufficient amounts of silver necessary for the creation of a Basket. Silver deposited with the Custodian must meet the specifications described below under &#8220;Deposit of Silver&#894; Issuance of Baskets.&#8221; Baskets may be created only by Authorized Participants, and are only issued in exchange for an amount of silver determined by the Trustee on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading. Market speculation in silver could result in increased requests for the issuance of Baskets. It is possible that Authorized Participants may be unable to acquire sufficient silver that is acceptable for delivery to the Trust for the issuance of new Baskets due to a limited then-available supply coupled with a surge in demand for the Shares. In such circumstances, the demand for creation may outpace Authorized Participants&#8217; ability to obtain silver that is acceptable for delivery to the Trust, and the Trust may suspend or restrict the issuance of Baskets. Such occurrence may lead to further volatility in Share price and deviations, which may be significant, in the market price of the Shares relative to the NAV.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">A significant change in the sentiment of investors towards silver may occur. Investors may purchase Shares to speculate on the price of silver or to hedge existing silver exposure. Speculation on the price of silver may involve long and short exposures. To the extent that the aggregate short exposure exceeds the number of Shares available for purchase, investors with short exposure may have to pay a premium to repurchase Shares for delivery to Share lenders. In turn, those repurchases may dramatically increase the price of the Shares until additional Shares are issued through the creation process. This could lead to volatile price movements in Shares that are not directly correlated to the price of silver.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The trading price of the Shares has been highly volatile and could continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors. The silver market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to factors such as silver&#8217;s uses in jewelry, technology, and industrial applications, or cost and production levels in major silver-producing countries such as China, Mexico, and Peru. In particular, supply chain disruptions and investor speculation have significantly contributed to price and volume fluctuations in recent years, and may contribute in the future.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; "><i>Because the Shares are created to reflect the price of the silver held by the Trust, the market price of the Shares will be as unpredictable as the price of silver has historically been.

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Shares are created to reflect, at any given time, the market price of silver owned by the Trust at that time less the Trust&#8217;s expenses and liabilities. Because the value of Shares depends on the price of silver, it is subject to fluctuations similar to those affecting silver prices. The price of silver has fluctuated widely over the past several years. If silver markets continue to be characterized by the wide fluctuations that they have shown in the past several years, the price of the Shares will change widely and in an unpredictable manner. This exposes your investment in Shares to potential losses if you need to sell your Shares at a time when the price of silver is lower than it was when you made your investment in Shares. Even if you are able to hold Shares for the mid- or long-term, you may never realize a profit, because silver markets have historically experienced extended periods of flat or declining prices.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The extent and duration of the military action, resulting sanctions and economic impacts are impossible to predict. These and any related events could cause volatility in precious metals prices and have significant impact on Trust performance and the value of an investment in the Shares. Russia is a significant producer of silver. On March 7, 2022, the LBMA suspended six Russian gold and silver refiners from its Good Delivery List. As a result, while existing silver bars from these refiners are considered acceptable, new silver bars are not.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Investors should be aware that while silver is used to preserve wealth by investors around the world, there is no assurance that silver will maintain its long&#8209;term value in terms of future purchasing power. In the event the price of silver declines, the Sponsor expects the value of an investment in the Shares to decline proportionately.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Furthermore, although silver has been used as a portfolio diversifier due to its historically low-to-negative correlation with stocks and bonds, diversification does not ensure against, nor can it prevent against, risk of loss.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; "><i>The amount of silver represented by each Share will decrease over the life of the Trust due to the sales of silver necessary to pay the Sponsor</i>&#8217;<i>s fee and other Trust expenses. Without increases in the price of silver sufficient to compensate for that decrease, the price of the Shares will also decline and you will lose money on your investment in Shares.</i></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Although the Sponsor has agreed to assume all organizational and certain ordinary administrative and marketing expenses incurred by the Trust, not all Trust expenses have been assumed by the Sponsor. For example, any taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed on the Trust&#8217;s property will not be paid by the Sponsor. As part of its agreement to assume some of the Trust&#8217;s ordinary administrative expenses, the Sponsor has agreed to pay legal fees and expenses of the Trust not in excess of $500,000 per annum. Any legal fees and expenses in excess of the amount required under the Trust Agreement will be the responsibility of the Trust.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Because the Trust does not have any income, it needs to sell silver to cover the Sponsor&#8217;s fee and expenses not assumed by the Sponsor. The Trust may also be subject to other liabilities (for example, as a result of litigation) that have also not been assumed by the Sponsor. The only source of funds to cover those liabilities will be sales of silver held by the Trust. Even if there are no expenses other than those assumed by the Sponsor, and there are no other liabilities of the Trust, the Trustee will still need to sell silver to pay the Sponsor&#8217;s fee. The result of these sales is a decrease in the amount of silver represented by each Share. New deposits of silver, received in exchange for new Shares issued by the Trust, do not reverse this trend.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">A decrease in the amount of silver represented by each Share results in a decrease in its price even if the price of silver has not changed. To retain the Share&#8217;s original price, the price of silver has to increase. Without that increase, the lesser amount of silver represented by the Share will have a correspondingly lower price. If these increases do not occur, or are not sufficient to counter the lesser amount of silver represented by each Share, you will sustain losses on your investment in Shares.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">An increase in the Trust expenses not assumed by the Sponsor, or the existence of unexpected liabilities affecting the Trust, will force the Trustee to sell larger amounts of silver, and will result in a more rapid decrease of the amount of silver represented by each Share and a corresponding decrease in its value.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; "><i>The Trust is a passive investment vehicle. The Trust is not actively managed and will be affected by a general decline in the price of silver.</i></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Trustee does not actively manage the silver held by the Trust. This means that the Trustee does not sell silver at times when its price is high, or acquire silver at low prices in the expectation of future price increases. It also means that the Trustee does not make use of any of the hedging techniques available to professional silver investors to attempt to reduce the risks of losses resulting from price decreases. Any losses sustained by the Trust will adversely affect the value of your Shares.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; "><i>The price received upon the sale of Shares may be less than the value of the silver represented by them.</i></p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The result obtained by subtracting the Trust&#8217;s expenses and liabilities on any day from the price of the silver owned by the Trust on that day is the net asset value of the Trust which, when divided by the number of Shares outstanding on that day, results in the NAV.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Shares may trade at, above or below their NAV. The NAV will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Trust&#8217;s assets. The trading prices of Shares will fluctuate in accordance with changes in their NAVs as well as market supply and demand. The amount of the discount or premium in the trading price relative to the NAV may be influenced by non-concurrent trading hours between the major silver markets and NYSE Arca. While the Shares will trade on NYSE Arca until 4:00 p.m. (New York time), liquidity in the market for silver will be reduced after the close of the major world silver markets, including London, Zurich and the COMEX in Chicago. As a result, during this time, trading spreads, and the resulting premium or discount on Shares, may widen.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; "><i>The costs inherent in buying or selling the Shares may detract significantly from investment results.</i></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Buying or selling the Shares on an exchange involves two types of costs that apply to all securities transactions effectuated on an exchange. When buying or selling Shares through a broker or other intermediary, you will likely incur a brokerage commission or other charges imposed by that broker or intermediary. In addition, you may incur the cost of the &#8220;spread,&#8221; that is, the difference between what investors or market makers are willing to pay for the Shares (the &#8220;bid&#8221; price) and the price at which they are willing to sell the Shares (the &#8220;ask&#8221; price). Because of the costs inherent in buying or selling the Shares, frequent trading may detract significantly from investment results and an investment in the Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Trust competes with other financial vehicles, including traditional debt and equity securities issued by companies in the silver industry and other securities backed by or linked to silver (including exchange-traded products), direct investments in silver and investment vehicles similar to the Trust. Market and financial conditions, and other conditions beyond the Sponsor&#8217;s control, may make it more attractive to invest in other financial vehicles or to invest in silver directly, which could limit the market for the Shares and reduce the liquidity of the Shares.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"><i>The liquidation of the Trust may occur at a time when the disposition of the Trust</i>&#8217;<i>s silver will result in losses to investors in Shares.</i></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Trust is designed to have a perpetual existence; however, if certain events occur, at any time, the Trustee will have to terminate the Trust. See &#8220;Description of the Shares and the Trust Agreement&#8212;Amendment and Termination&#8221; for more information about the termination of the Trust, including when events outside the control of the Sponsor, the Trustee or the Shareholders may prompt the Trust&#8217;s termination.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Upon termination of the Trust, the Trustee will sell silver in the amount necessary to cover all expenses of liquidation, and to pay any outstanding liabilities of the Trust. The remaining silver will be distributed among investors surrendering Shares. Any silver remaining in the possession of the Trustee after 90 days may be sold by the Trustee and the proceeds of the sale will be held by the Trustee until claimed by any remaining holders of Shares. Sales of silver in connection with the liquidation of the Trust at a time of low prices will likely result in losses, or adversely affect your gains, on your investment in Shares.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; "><i>The liquidity of the Shares may also be affected by the withdrawal from participation of Authorized Participants.</i></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">In the event that one or more Authorized Participants that have substantial interests in Shares withdraw from participation, the liquidity of the Shares will likely decrease, which could adversely affect the market price of the Shares and result in your incurring a loss on your investment in Shares.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; "><i>There may be situations where an Authorized Participant is unable to redeem a Basket.

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Although Shares surrendered by Authorized Participants in Basket-size aggregations are redeemable in exchange for the underlying amount of silver, redemptions may be suspended during any period while regular trading on NYSE Arca is suspended or restricted, or in which an emergency exists that makes it reasonably impracticable to deliver, dispose of, or evaluate silver. If any of these events occurs at a time when an Authorized Participant intends to redeem Shares, and the price of silver decreases before such Authorized Participant is able again to surrender Baskets for redemption, such Authorized Participant will sustain a loss with respect to the amount that it would have been able to obtain in exchange for the silver received from the Trust upon the redemption of its Shares, had the redemption taken place when such Authorized Participant originally intended it to occur. As a consequence, Authorized Participants may reduce their trading in Shares during periods of suspension, decreasing the number of potential buyers of Shares in the secondary market and, therefore, decreasing the price a Shareholder may receive upon sale.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; "><i>Authorized Participants with large holdings may choose to terminate the Trust.</i></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Holders of 75% of the Shares have the power to terminate the Trust. This power may be exercised by a relatively small number of holders. If it is so exercised, investors who wished to continue to invest in silver through the vehicle of the Trust will have to find another vehicle, and may not be able to find another vehicle that offers the same features as the Trust.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; "><i>The lack of an active trading market for the Shares may result in losses on your investment at the time of disposition of your Shares.</i></p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Although Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, you should not assume that an active trading market for the Shares will be maintained. If you need to sell your Shares at a time when no active market for them exists, such lack of an active market will most likely adversely affect the price you receive for your Shares (assuming you are able to sell them).</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">If the processes of creation and redemption of Shares (which depend on timely transfers of silver to and by the Custodian) encounter any unanticipated difficulties, potential market participants, such as the Authorized Participants and their customers, who would otherwise be willing to purchase or redeem Baskets to take advantage of any arbitrage opportunity arising from discrepancies between the price of the Shares and the price of the underlying silver may not take the risk that, as a result of those difficulties, they may not be able to realize the profit they expect. If this is the case, the liquidity of the Shares may decline and the price of the Shares may fluctuate independently of the price of silver and may fall or otherwise diverge from NAV. Furthermore, in the event that the London market for physical silver should become relatively illiquid and thereby materially restrict opportunities for arbitraging by delivering silver in return for Baskets, the price of Shares may diverge from the value of physical silver.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Shares are not entitled to the same rights as shares issued by a corporation.

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Trust is not registered as an investment company and is not required to be registered under the Investment Company Act. Consequently, the owners of Shares do not have the protections under the Investment Company Act provided to investors in registered investment companies. For example, the provisions of the Investment Company Act that limit transactions with affiliates, prohibit the suspension of redemptions (except under certain limited circumstances) or limit sales loads, among others, do not apply to the Trust.</p>

Furthermore, the Trust is not a commodity pool for purposes of the CEA. Consequently, the Trustee and the Sponsor are not subject to registration as commodity pool operators with respect to the Trust. The owners of Shares do not receive the CEA disclosure document and certified annual report required to be delivered by the registered commodity pool operator with respect to a commodity pool, and the owners of Shares do not have the regulatory protections provided to investors in commodity pools operated by registered commodity pool operators.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Under the Trust Agreement, the Sponsor has a right to be indemnified from the Trust for any liability or expense it incurs without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part. Similarly, the Custodian Agreement provides for indemnification of the Custodian by the Trust under certain circumstances. This means that it may be necessary to sell assets of the Trust in order to cover losses or liability suffered by the Sponsor or the Custodian. Any sale of that kind would reduce the net asset value of the Trust and the value of the Shares.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"><i>The Trust is exposed to various operational risks.</i></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Trust is exposed to various operational risks, including human error, information technology failures and failure to comply with formal procedures intended to mitigate these risks, and is particularly dependent on electronic means of communicating, record-keeping and otherwise conducting business. In addition, the Trust generally exculpates, and in some cases indemnifies, its service providers and agents with respect to losses arising from unforeseen circumstances and events, which may include the interruption, suspension or restriction of trading on or the closure of NYSE Arca, power or other mechanical or technological failures or interruptions, computer viruses, communications disruptions, work stoppages, natural disasters, fire, war, terrorism, riots, rebellions or other circumstances beyond the control of the Trust or its service providers and agents. Accordingly, the Trust generally bears the risk of loss with respect to these unforeseen circumstances and events to the extent relating to the Trust or the Shares, which may limit or prevent the Trust from generating returns corresponding to those of the Index or otherwise expose it to loss.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Although it is generally expected that the Trust&#8217;s direct service providers and agents will have disaster recovery or similar programs or safeguards in place to mitigate the effect of such unforeseen circumstances and events, there can be no assurance that these safeguards are in place for all parties whose activities may affect the performance of the Trust, or that these safeguards, even if implemented, will be successful in preventing losses associated with such unforeseen circumstances and events. Nor can there be any assurance that the systems and applications on which the Trust relies will continue to operate as intended. In addition to potentially causing performance failures at, or direct losses to, the Trust, any such unforeseen circumstances and events or operational failures may further distract the service providers, agents or personnel on which the Trust relies, reducing their ability to conduct the activities on which the Trust is dependent. These risks cannot be fully mitigated or prevented, and further efforts or expenditures to do so may not be cost effective, whether due to reduced benefits from implementing additional or redundant safeguards or due to increases in associated maintenance requirements and other expenses that may make it more costly for the Trust to operate in more typical circumstances.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"><i>The Trust may be negatively impacted by the effects of the spread of illnesses or other public health emergencies on the global economy and the markets and service providers relevant to the performance of the Trust.</i></p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">A public health emergency, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, could adversely affect the economies of many nations and the entire global economy as well as individual issuers, assets and capital markets and could 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&#8217;s operations. Future infectious illness outbreaks or other public health emergencies could have similar or other unforeseen impacts and may exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally, which could adversely affect the value of the Shares.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">A public health emergency could result in an increase of the costs of the Trust and 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 the Shares. In addition, a public health emergency could impair the information technology and other operational systems upon which the Trust&#8217;s service providers, including the Sponsor, the Trustee and the Custodian, rely, and could otherwise disrupt the ability of employees of the Trust&#8217;s service providers to perform essential tasks on behalf of the Trust. Governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and regulators throughout the world have at times responded to major economic disruptions with a variety of fiscal and monetary policy changes, including, but not limited to, direct capital infusions into companies and other issuers, new monetary tools and lower interest rates. An unexpected or sudden 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, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"><i>The Trust relies on the information and technology systems of the Custodian, the Trustee, the Sponsor, the Authorized Participants, the listing exchange, and the Trust</i>&#8217;<i>s other service providers and counterparties (referred to herein as the </i>&#8220;<i>Service Providers</i>&#8221;<i>), each of which could be directly or indirectly adversely affected by information systems interruptions, cybersecurity incidents or other disruptions, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the Trust.</i></p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">The Trust and the Service Providers are susceptible to operational, information security and related cybersecurity risks both directly and through their own service providers. Cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. They include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to systems, corrupting or destroying data, and causing operational disruption. Geopolitical tensions may increase the scale and sophistication of deliberate attacks, particularly those from nation-states or from entities with nation-state backing.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">Cybersecurity incidents may cause disruptions and impact business operations. They may result in any of the following: financial losses (including loss or theft of Trust assets), interference with the Trust&#8217;s ability to calculate its NAV, disclosure of confidential information, impediments to trading, submission of erroneous trades or erroneous creation or redemption orders, the inability of the Trust or the Service Providers to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and other legal and compliance costs. In addition, cyber incidents may render records of Trust assets and transactions, Shareholder ownership of the Shares, and other data integral to the functioning of the Trust inaccessible, inaccurate or incomplete. The Trust may incur substantial costs in order to resolve or prevent cyber incidents.</p>

The Sponsor relies on BlackRock&#8217;s enterprise risk management (&#8220;ERM&#8221;) framework for the Trust&#8217;s cybersecurity risk management and strategy. Although BlackRock has implemented policies and controls, and takes protective measures involving significant expense, to prevent and address potential data breaches, inadvertent disclosures, increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks and cyber-related fraud, there can be no assurance that any of these measures proves fully effective. In addition, a successful cyber-attack may persist for an extended period of time before being detected, and it may take a considerable amount of time for an investigation to be completed and the severity and potential impact to be known. Furthermore, the Trust cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems of its Service Providers. The Trust and its Shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.</p>

Although officers and professional staff of the Sponsor&#8217;s management intend to devote as much time to the Trust as is deemed appropriate to perform their duties, the Sponsor&#8217;s management may allocate their time and services among the Trust and the other accounts, funds or trusts. The Sponsor will provide any such services to the Trust on terms not less favorable to the Trust than would be available from a non-affiliated party.</p>

The Sponsor shall determine the contents and manner of delivery of any notice of any Trust Agreement amendment. If an amendment imposes new fees and charges or increases existing fees or charges, including the Sponsor&#8217;s fee (except for taxes and other governmental charges, registration fees or other such expenses), or prejudices a substantial right of Shareholders, it will become effective for outstanding Shares 30 days after notice of such amendment is given to registered owners. Shareholders that are not registered owners (which most shareholders will not be) may not receive specific notice of a fee increase other than through an amendment to the prospectus. Moreover, at the time an amendment becomes effective, by continuing to hold Shares, Shareholders are deemed to agree to the amendment and to be bound by the Trust Agreement as amended without specific agreement to such increase (other than through the &#8220;negative consent&#8221; procedure described above).</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of the Trust&#8217;s silver bullion and also facilitates the transfer of silver bullion into and out of the Trust. Although the Custodian is a market maker, clearer and approved weigher under the rules of the LBMA (which sets out good practices for participants in the bullion market), the LBMA is not an official or governmental regulatory body. Furthermore, although the Custodian is generally regulated in the UK by the Prudential Regulation Authority and the FCA, such regulations do not directly cover the Custodian&#8217;s silver bullion custody operations in the UK. Accordingly, the Trust is dependent on the Custodian to comply with the best practices of the LBMA and to implement satisfactory internal controls for its silver bullion custody operations in order to keep the Trust&#8217;s silver bullion secure.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Custodian is responsible to the Trust for loss or damage to the Trust&#8217;s silver only under limited circumstances. The Custodian Agreement contemplates that the Custodian will be responsible to the Trust only if it acts with negligence, fraud or in willful default of its obligations under the Custodian Agreement. In addition, the Custodian has agreed to indemnify the Trust for any loss or liability directly resulting from a breach of the Custodian&#8217;s representations and warranties in the Custodian Agreement, a failure of the Custodian to act in accordance with the Trustee&#8217;s instructions or any physical loss, destruction or damage to the silver held for the Trust&#8217;s account, except for losses due to nuclear fission or fusion, radioactivity, war, terrorist event, invasion, insurrection, civil commotion, riot, strike, act of government or public authority, act of God or a similar cause that is beyond the control of the Custodian for which the Custodian will not be responsible to the Trust.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Custodian has no obligation to replace any silver lost under circumstances for which the Custodian is liable to the Trust. The Custodian&#8217;s liability to the Trust, if any, will be limited to the value of any silver lost, or the amount of any balance held on an unallocated basis, at the time of the Custodian&#8217;s negligence, fraud, or willful default, or at the time of the act or omission giving rise to the claim for indemnification.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">In addition, because the Custodian Agreement is governed by English law, any rights which the holders of the Shares may have against the Custodian will be different from, and may be more limited than, those that could have been available to them under the laws of a different jurisdiction. The choice of English law to govern the Custodian Agreement, however, is not expected to affect any rights that the holders of the Shares may have against the Trust or the Trustee.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Any loss of silver owned by the Trust will result in a corresponding loss in the NAV and it is reasonable to expect that such loss will also result in a decrease in the value at which the Shares are traded on NYSE Arca.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; "><i>Although the relationship between the Custodian and the Trustee concerning the Trust</i>&#8217;<i>s allocated silver is expressly governed by English law, a court hearing any legal dispute concerning that arrangement may disregard that choice of law and apply U.S. law, in which case the ability of the Trust to seek legal redress against the Custodian may be limited.</i></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The obligations of the Custodian under the Custody Agreements are governed by English law. The Trust is a New York common law trust. Any U.S., New York or other court situated in the United States may have difficulty interpreting English law (which, insofar as it relates to custody arrangements, is largely derived from court rulings rather than statute), LBMA rules or the customs and practices in the London custody market. It may be difficult or impossible for the Trust to sue the Custodian in a U.S., New York or other court situated in the United States. In addition, it may be difficult, time consuming and/or expensive for the Trust to enforce in a foreign court a judgment rendered by a U.S., New York or other court situated in the United States.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The procedures agreed to with the Custodian contemplate that the Custodian must undertake certain tasks in connection with the inspection of silver delivered by Authorized Participants in exchange for Baskets. The Custodian&#8217;s inspection includes review of the corresponding bar list to ensure that it accurately describes the weight, fineness, refiner marks and bar numbers appearing on the silver bars, but does not include any chemical or other tests designed to verify that the silver received does, in fact, meet the purity requirements referred to in the Trust Agreement. Accordingly, such inspection procedures may not prevent the deposit of silver that fails to meet these purity standards. Each Authorized Participant that deposits silver in the Trust is liable to the Trust if that silver does not meet the requirements of the Trust Agreement. The Custodian will not be responsible or liable to the Trust or to any investor in the event any silver otherwise properly inspected by it does not meet the purity requirements contained in the Trust Agreement. To the extent that Baskets are issued in exchange for silver of inferior quality and the Trust is not able to recover damages from the Authorized Participant that deposited that silver, the total value of the assets of the Trust will be adversely affected and, with it, the NAV. In these circumstances, it is reasonable to expect that the value at which the Shares trade on NYSE Arca will also be adversely affected.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Trust does not insure its silver. The Custodian maintains insurance on such terms and conditions as it considers appropriate in connection with its custodial obligations under the Custodian Agreement and is responsible for all costs, fees and expenses arising from the insurance policy or policies. The Trust is not a beneficiary of any such insurance and does not have the ability to dictate the existence, nature or amount of coverage. Therefore, Shareholders cannot be assured that the Custodian maintains adequate insurance or any insurance with respect to the silver held by the Custodian on behalf of the Trust. In addition, the Custodian Agreement does not require any direct or indirect sub-custodians to be insured or bonded with respect to their custodial activities or in respect of the silver held by them on behalf of the Trust. Further, Shareholders&#8217; legal recourse against the Trust, the Trustee, the Sponsor, the Custodian, and any sub-custodians is limited. Consequently, a loss may be suffered with respect to the Trust&#8217;s silver which is not covered by insurance and for which no person is liable in damages.</p>

The Sponsor, a subsidiary of BlackRock, is responsible for the oversight and overall management of the Trust. The Sponsor relies on BlackRock&#8217;s ERM framework for the Trust&#8217;s cybersecurity risk management and strategy. Key aspects of the ERM framework are summarized below. The board of directors of the Sponsor (the &#8220;Board of Directors&#8221;) periodically receives reports from BlackRock regarding BlackRock&#8217;s cybersecurity program.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">BlackRock recognizes the importance of identifying, assessing, and managing material risks associated with cybersecurity threats. Cybersecurity represents an important component of BlackRock&#8217;s approach to ERM. BlackRock leverages a multi-lines-of-defense model with cybersecurity operational processes executed by global information security and other teams and dedicated internal audit technology and technology risk management (&#8220;TRM&#8221;) teams that independently review technology risks. BlackRock&#8217;s cybersecurity program is fully integrated into its ERM framework and is aligned with recognized frameworks, including NIST CSF, FFIEC CAT, FedRAMP, SOC 1/2, ISO 27001/2 and others. BlackRock aims to inform and continuously improve its cybersecurity program through engagement with regulatory, client, insurer, vendor, partner, peer, government and industry organizations and associations, as well as external audit, technology risk, information security and other assessments.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">BlackRock seeks to address cybersecurity risks through a global, multilayered strategy of control programs that is designed to preserve the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information that BlackRock collects and stores by identifying, preventing and mitigating cybersecurity threats and incidents. As one of the critical elements of BlackRock&#8217;s overall ERM framework, BlackRock&#8217;s cybersecurity program is focused on the following key areas:</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Trust 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 Trustee acting as trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement between the Trustee and the Sponsor. The Trust issues Shares 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, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  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&#8217;s expenses and liabilities. The Trust does not engage in any activities designed to obtain a profit from, or ameliorate losses caused by, changes in the price of silver.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Trust issues and redeems Shares only in exchange for silver, only in Baskets or integral multiples thereof, and only in transactions with Authorized Participants. A list of the current Authorized Participants is available from the Sponsor or the Trustee.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"><b>Valuation of Silver Bullion</b>&#894;<b> Computation of Net Asset Value</b></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  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 the NAV. The Trustee values the silver held by the Trust using the LBMA Silver Price. 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 held by 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>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"><b>Liquidity</b></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Trust is not aware of any trends, demands, conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to its liquidity needs. 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&#8217;s fee. The Trust&#8217;s only source of liquidity is its sales of silver.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"><b>Critical Accounting Policies</b></p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements relies on estimates and assumptions that impact the Trust&#8217;s financial position and results of operations. These estimates and assumptions affect the Trust&#8217;s application of accounting policies. A description of the valuation of silver bullion, a critical accounting policy that the Trust believes is important to understanding its results of operations and financial position, is provided in the section entitled &#8220;Valuation of Silver Bullion&#894; Computation of Net Asset Value&#8221; above. In addition, please refer to Note 2 to the financial statements included in this report for further discussion of the Trust&#8217;s accounting policies.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">Fair value of the silver bullion is based on the LBMA Silver Price.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">There are other indicators of the value of silver bullion that are available that could be different than that chosen by the Trust. 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 in 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.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Trust&#8217;s net asset value decreased from $11,160,084,971 at December 31, 2022 to $10,389,177,775 at December 31, 2023, a 6.91% decrease for the year. The decrease in the Trust&#8217;s net asset value resulted primarily from a decrease in the number of outstanding Shares which fell from 506,550,000 Shares at December 31, 2022 to 477,000,000 Shares at December 31, 2023, a consequence of 167,250,000 Shares (3,345 Baskets) being created and 196,800,000 Shares (3,936 Baskets) being redeemed during the year. The decrease in the Trust&#8217;s net asset value was also affected by a decrease in the price of silver, which fell 0.67% from $23.95 at December 31, 2022 to $23.79 at December 31, 2023.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The 1.13% decrease in the NAV from $22.03 at December 31, 2022 to $21.78 at December 31, 2023 was directly related to the 0.67% decrease in the price of silver.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The NAV decreased slightly more than the price of silver on a percentage basis due to the Sponsor&#8217;s fees, which were $53,561,823 for the year, or 0.50% of the Trust&#8217;s average weighted assets of $10,709,743,724 during the year. The NAV of $23.91 on April 14, 2023 was the highest during the year, compared with a low during the year of $18.47 on March 10, 2023.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The 13.25% decrease in the NAV from $24.61 at December 31, 2020 to $21.35 at December 31, 2021 was directly related to the 12.84% decrease in the price of silver.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The NAV decreased slightly more than the price of silver on a percentage basis due to the Sponsor&#8217;s fees, which were $71,208,965 for the year, or 0.50% of the Trust&#8217;s average weighted assets of $14,234,642,101 during the year. The NAV of $27.48 on February 1, 2021 was the highest during the year, compared with a low during the year of $19.93 on September 30, 2021.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Net decrease in net assets resulting from operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $2,110,330,231, resulting from an unrealized loss on investment in silver bullion of $3,401,406,431, and a net investment loss of $71,208,965, partially offset by a net realized gain of $1,349,023,048 on silver bullion distributed for the redemption of Shares and a net realized gain of $13,262,117 from investment in silver bullion sold to pay expenses. Other than the Sponsor&#8217;s fees of $71,208,965, the Trust had no expenses during the year ended December 31, 2021.</p>

  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The Sponsor&#8217;s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). The Trust&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Trust&#8217;s assets&#894; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that the Trust&#8217;s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with appropriate authorizations and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Trust&#8217;s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
  <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become ineffective because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.</p>

<p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments,<b> </b>of iShares Silver Trust (the &#8220;Trust&#8221;) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022,<b> </b>and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows<b> </b>for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the &#8220;financial statements&#8221;).<b> </b>We also have audited the Trust&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in <i>Internal Control - Integrated Framework</i> (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).&#160;</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">In our opinion, the<b> </b>financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trust as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023<b> </b>in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Trust maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in <i>Internal Control - Integrated Framework</i> (2013) issued by the COSO.</p>

<p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">The Sponsor&#8217;s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management&#8217;s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Trust&#8217;s financial statements and on the Trust&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.&#160;</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">Our audits of the<b> </b>financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the<b> </b>financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the<b> </b>financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.</p>

<p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">A trust&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A trust&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i)&#160;pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the trust; (ii)&#160;provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the trust are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Sponsor&#8217;s management and the Sponsor of the trust; and (iii)&#160;provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the trust&#8217;s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.</p>

<p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">&#160;</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined there are no critical audit matters.</p>

   <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;">The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (&#8220;U.S. GAAP&#8221;). 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>

The Committee must pursue (and shall not have the discretion to waive) the forfeiture and/or repayment of such Erroneously Awarded Compensation in accordance with Section 3 of this Policy, except as provided below. Recovery of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation under the Policy shall not be dependent on fraud or misconduct by any person in connection with the Accounting Restatement.</p>

If the Committee does not specify a repayment timing in the written notice described above, the applicable person shall be required to repay the Erroneously Awarded Compensation to the Trust by wire, cash or cashier&#8217;s check no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice.</p>

For this purpose, &#8220;indemnification&#8221; includes any modification to current compensation arrangements or other means that would amount to de facto indemnification (for example, providing the person a new cash award which would be cancelled to effect the recovery of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation). In no event shall the Trust be required to award any person an additional payment if any Accounting Restatement would result in a higher incentive compensation payment.</p>

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 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, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;">When silver bullion is exchanged in settlement of a redemption, it is considered a sale of silver bullion for accounting purposes.</p>

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>

Individual investors cannot purchase or redeem Shares in direct transactions with the Trust.

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>

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 Third 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; January 31, 2022. &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;

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, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;"&gt;The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (&#x201c;U.S. GAAP&#x201d;). 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, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;"&gt;Certain statements and captions in the financial statements for the prior periods have been changed to conform to the current financial statement presentation.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&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, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  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, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&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, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  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 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;).

(&#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, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  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.

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;"&gt;The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (&#x201c;U.S. GAAP&#x201d;). 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, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  margin: 0pt;"&gt;Certain statements and captions in the financial statements for the prior periods have been changed to conform to the current financial statement presentation.&lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  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, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&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, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  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 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, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  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, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; 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, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  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, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal;  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, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;
