The Basket Amount on any trade date is determined by dividing (x) the amount of SUI owned by the Trust at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on such trade date, after deducting the amount of SUI representing the U.S. dollar value of accrued but unpaid fees and expenses of the Trust (converted using the Index Price at such time, and carried to the eighth decimal place), by (y) the number of Shares outstanding at such time (with the quotient so obtained calculated to one one-hundred-millionth of one SUI (i.e., carried to the eighth decimal place)), and multiplying such quotient by 10,000. The Trust will create Baskets of Shares only upon receipt of SUI and will redeem Shares only by distributing SUI or proceeds from the disposition of SUI. Authorized Participants may submit orders to create or redeem Shares under one of two procedures, which are referred to as “In-Kind Orders” and “Cash Orders” in this prospectus. In connection with In-Kind Orders, Authorized Participants, or their AP Designees, deposit SUI directly with the Trust or receive SUI directly from the Trust. Cash Orders are made through the participation of a Liquidity Provider (as defined herein) and facilitated by the Transfer Agent, as described in “Description of Creation and Redemption of Shares.” Authorized Participants must pay a Variable Fee (as defined herein) in connection with certain Cash Orders. The Shares are neither interests in nor obligations of the Sponsor or the Trustee. As provided under the Trust Agreement, the Trust’s assets will not be loaned or pledged, or serve as collateral for any loan, margin, rehypothecation, or other similar activity to which the Sponsor, the Trust or any of their respective affiliates are a party. The Sponsor maintains an Internet website at etfs.grayscale.com/gsui. Additional information regarding the Trust may also be found on the SEC’s EDGAR database at www.sec.gov. The contents of the websites referred to above and any websites referred to herein are not incorporated into this filing or any other report or documents we file with or furnish to the SEC. Further, our references to the URLs for these websites are intended to be inactive textual references only. Investment Objective The Trust’s investment objective is for the value of the Shares (based on SUI per Share) to reflect the value of the SUI held by the Trust, including SUI earned as Staking Consideration (to the extent that the Staking Condition is satisfied and Staking is implemented), determined by reference to the Index Price, less the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities. There can be no assurance that the Trust will be able to achieve its investment objective. Although we expect the arbitrage mechanism to keep the value of the Shares closely linked to the Index Price, the Shares may trade at a premium or discount to the value of the SUI held by the Trust, determined by reference to the Index Price, less the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities, and any such premium or discount may be significant. While an investment in the Shares is not a direct investment in SUI, the Shares are designed to provide investors with a cost- effective and convenient way to gain investment exposure to SUI. A substantial direct investment in SUI may require expensive and sometimes complicated arrangements in connection with the acquisition, security and safekeeping of the SUI and may involve the payment of substantial fees to acquire such SUI from third-party facilitators through cash payments of U.S. dollars. Because the value of the Shares is designed to be correlated with the value of the SUI held by the Trust, it is important to understand the investment attributes of, and the market for, SUI. To date, the Trust has not met its investment objective and the Shares quoted on OTCQB have not reflected the value of the SUI held by the Trust, less the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities, but instead have traded at both premiums and discounts to such value, which at times has been substantial. The Trust’s SUI are carried, for financial statement purposes, at fair value as required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Trust determines the fair value of SUI based on the price provided by the Digital Asset Market (defined below) that the Trust considers its principal market as of 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the valuation date. The net asset value of the Trust determined on a GAAP basis is referred to in this prospectus as “NAV.” “Digital Asset Market” means a “Brokered Market,” “Dealer Market,” “Principal-to-Principal Market” or “Exchange Market,” as each such term is defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Master Glossary. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Principal Market and Fair Value Determination” in this prospectus for more information on the Trust’s principal market selection. The Trust uses the Index Price to calculate its “NAV,” which is the aggregate value, expressed in U.S. dollars, of the Trust’s assets (other than U.S. dollars or other fiat currency), less the U.S. dollar value of the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities calculated in the manner set forth under “—Valuation of SUI and Determination of NAV.” “NAV per Share” is calculated by dividing NAV by the number of Shares then outstanding. NAV and NAV per Share are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. NAV is not intended to be a substitute for the Trust’s Principal Market NAV calculated in accordance with GAAP, and NAV per Share is not intended to be a substitute for the Trust’s Principal Market NAV per Share calculated in accordance with GAAP.
