Sprott Physical Copper Trust Announces Amendments to Trust Agreement

Executive Summary

• Sprott Physical Copper Trust announced amendments to its trust agreement that will convert the current semi‑annual redemption feature to a monthly redemption feature and remove the existing cap on units redeemable per period.
• The amendments are contingent upon unitholder approval at an upcoming meeting and are intended to align with a planned registration statement for listing the Trust’s units on NYSE Arca.
• Successful listing would provide greater liquidity and trading flexibility for unit holders, though the Trust cannot guarantee that the listing will be achieved.

Key Details

• Redemption frequency changes from semi‑annual to monthly.
• Removal of the redemption cap (currently 1.5% of outstanding units per period).
• Additional consequential provisions related to the potential NYSE Arca listing.
• Unitholder Approval: Required at a meeting to be announced; timing will be coordinated with filing/effectiveness of the U.S. registration statement.

• Regulatory Filings: Amendment No. 1 to the Trust Agreement will be filed on SEDAR+; further meeting materials will also be posted there.
