Organization | 1. Organization The abrdn Silver ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is a common law trust formed on July 20, 2009 (the “Date of Inception”) under New York law pursuant to a depositary trust agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) executed by abrdn ETFs Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) and The Bank of New York Mellon as Trustee (the “Trustee”). The Trust holds silver and issues abrdn Physical Silver Shares ETF (“Shares”) in minimum blocks of 50,000 Shares (also referred to as “Baskets”) in exchange for deposits of silver and distributes silver in connection with the redemption of Baskets. Shares represent units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the Trust which are issued by the Trust. The Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of abrdn Inc., which is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of abrdn plc. The Trust is governed by the Trust Agreement. Effective November 12, 2024, Brian Kordeck resigned as Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of the Sponsor. Mr. Kordeck had served as Principal Financial Officer of the Registrant. Effective November 12, 2024, Sharon Ferrari was appointed Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of the Sponsor. Ms. Ferrari serves as Principal Financial Officer of the Registrant. The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the performance of the price of physical silver, less the Trust’s expenses and liabilities. The Trust is designed to provide an individual owner of beneficial interests in the Shares (a “Shareholder”) an opportunity to participate in the silver market through an investment in securities.
