The following subheading and disclosure is added at the end of “United States Federal Tax Consequences” on page 36 of the Prospectus:

“FBAR Reporting Obligations

Each U.S. Shareholder should consult with its tax advisor as to the tax filing and reporting obligations that may arise in connection with an investment in a Share, including whether the Shares need to be reported on Treasury Form TD F 90-22.1 (Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts, the FBAR form). A Shareholder that is obligated and fails to file the FBAR form may be subject to civil penalties in an amount equal to the greater of (1) $100,000 or (2) 50 percent of the value of the unreported “foreign account,” and may face possible criminal penalties as well. The Sponsor is presently seeking relief from these reporting requirements for Shareholders; however, there is no assurance that such relief will be forthcoming.”

All other portions of the Prospectus, as amended by the Prospectus Supplements, shall remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Prospectus.
