• provide more than two years of audited financial statements and related management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations; • comply with any new requirements that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer; • provide certain disclosure regarding executive compensation required of larger public companies; or • obtain shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. The Trust will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of: • the last day of the fiscal year in which the Trust has $1.235 billion or more in annual revenues; • the date on which the Trust becomes a “large accelerated filer” under Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act; • the date on which the Trust issues more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period; or • the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the Trust’s initial public offering. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. The Trust intends to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until it is no longer an emerging growth company. The Trust’s election to use the phase-in periods permitted by this election may make it difficult to compare its financial statements to those of non- emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the longer phase-in periods under Section 107 of the JOBS Act and who will comply with new or revised financial accounting standards. If the Trust were to subsequently elect instead to comply with these public company effective dates, such election would be irrevocable pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act.
