All the issued shares of the Issuer are directly or indirectly held by Monument Trustees Limited, with its registered office at 57 Herbert Lane, Dublin 2, Ireland and registered number 345558 (the "Share Trustee") under the terms of a declaration of trust dated 20 June 2017 pursuant to which the Share Trustee holds the benefit of the shares on trust for charitable purposes. The Issuer is neither directly nor indirectly owned or controlled by any other party to the Programme.

The Issuer is a special purpose vehicle: The Issuer is a special purpose vehicle with the sole business of issuing ETP Securities. The Issuer's only funds to make payments in respect of a Series of ETP Securities are the amounts received by the Issuer from the realisation of the Collateral Assets (as defined below). For each Series, the Issuer will create security over the Collateral Assets in respect of that Series for the benefit of, amongst others, the ETP Securityholders of that Series. In the event that the security created by the Issuer is enforced, and the proceeds of such enforcement are, after making payment to all senior ranking creditors, insufficient to pay all amounts due to such ETP Securityholders in full, the Issuer shall have no liability, obligation or debt for any shortfall in payment and none of the ETP Securityholders or the Trustee (or any other party acting on their behalf) may take any further action to recover such amounts.
Claims of the Margin Loan Provider: Investors should be aware that the agreements entered into between the Issuer and the Margin Loan Providers (the "LS Margin Account Agreements") do not contain limited recourse provisions with respect to the obligations of the Issuer.
There is a risk therefore that, in respect of a claim against the Issuer by a Margin Loan Provider in relation to an LS Margin Account Agreement, if following realisation in full of the Secured Property (whether by way of liquidation or enforcement) in respect of a Series of ETP Securities and application of available cash in accordance with the applicable orders of priority and the Trust Deed, a claim remains outstanding against the Issuer, such claim may be made against assets attributable to other outstanding Series of ETP Securities on a pro rata basis. GWM Limited, who may act as the broker dealer of record with respect to certain Series of ETP Securities (the "Broker Dealer of Record") however, has agreed to indemnify the Issuer against any loss, cost, claim, action, demand or expense which the Issuer may incur as a result of any such claims by the Margin Loan Provider.
Each Series of ETP Securities will either be linked to an index (the "Index") or will pursue an investment strategy which will describe the manner in which the proceeds of the issuance of the ETP Securities will be invested along with any leverage to be employed in respect of such investment strategy (the "Investment Strategy"). The Index or Investment Strategy will reference one or more assets (the "Reference Assets") which can consist of (i) equity securities, (ii) debt securities, (iii) fixed income securities, (iv) units in exchange traded funds; (v) mutual funds (items (i) to (v), ("Physical Assets") or (vi) futures contracts and (vii) options contracts.
Series of ETP Securities can offer leveraged long exposure ("Leveraged Exposures"), short inversed leveraged exposure ("Short Exposures") or +1x exposure ("Normal Exposures") to the Reference Assets. With respect to Series of ETP Securities offering Leveraged Exposures and Short Exposures, the degree of leverage or inversed leverage will be embedded in either (i) the Index or Investment Strategy; or (ii) directly in the ETP Securities. The degree of leverage which will apply for each Series of ETP Securities will be reflected in the applicable leverage factor (the "Leverage Factor"). Series of ETP Securities may also be issued which have the objective of generating income to fund periodic interest payments (the "Income Series"). The Investment Strategy of an Income Series may also provide for a Leveraged Exposure to the relevant Reference Assets, details of which will be included in the description of the Investment Strategy.
The underlying assets in respect of each Series of ETP Securities are:
in each case as held in the margin account(s) established for that Series (the "Margin Account" and the "Collateral Assets").
Amounts standing to the credit of a Margin Account in respect of a Series of ETP Securities, to the extent not required for investment to replicate the performance of the relevant Index for that Series or for investment in accordance with the Investment Strategy for that Series, may at the direction of the Portfolio Administrator be maintained as cash balances in the Margin Account or invested in sovereign debt in the currency of denomination of the ETP Securities with an original maturity of less than one month which is rated at least A-1 by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, and/or P-1 by Moody's Investors Service Ltd. and/or F1 by Fitch Ratings Limited (the "Ancillary Assets").
Where applicable, each Series of ETP Securities will reference the performance of the related Index or Investment Strategy over a daily, weekly, monthly period or such other period as set out in the Final Terms (the "Rebalance Period"). At the end of each Rebalance Period the Margin Account will be reconstituted in order to track the performance of the Index or pursue the Investment Strategy.
The redemption amount of the ETP Securities will be derived from the liquidation of the Collateral Assets, as purchased or sold in accordance with the Leverage Factor of such Series of ETP Securities.
In respect of each Income Series, the Issuer shall make payments of interest amounts in respect of the ETP Securities of that Series on the relevant interest payment date as set out in the Final Terms.
The ETP Securities are freely transferable.
Each Series of ETP Securities will only give rights to ETP Securityholders to participate in the proceeds of the liquidation of a pro rata portion, in respect of such ETP Securityholders, of the Collateral Assets held in the relevant Margin Account with respect to such Series, after the pro rata deduction of all costs and expenses incurred by the Issuer in connection with the liquidation of such Collateral Assets, the pro rata deduction of the Arranger Fee and any applicable margin interest, securities lending fees and brokerage fees ("Funding and Brokerage Fees") accrued thereon and in the case of Income Series, any pro rata adjustments to take account of any interest amounts to be paid with respect to the ETP Securities. Such liquidation will take place on the Final Redemption Date (as specified below) or only in limited circumstances before this date.
On specified valuation days, an "ETP Security Value" shall be calculated by the Determination Agent which shall reflect the value of the Collateral Assets in respect of a Series of ETP Securities as adjusted to take into account all applicable fees and expenses.
For each Series, the Issuer will create security over the Collateral Assets in respect of that Series for the benefit of, amongst others, the ETP Securityholders of that Series. Following the enforcement of the security granted by the Issuer in respect of each Series, the Trustee will apply the proceeds derived from the realisation of the Collateral Assets that are the subject of the security in the applicable order of priority under which amounts due to the ETP Securityholders will be subordinated to all costs, fees, expenses and all other amounts including (without limitation) the costs of enforcing and/or realising any security due to the Trustee itself and any receiver, in each case in relation to the ETP Securityholders.
If, in relation to a Series of ETP Securities, the net proceeds of the realisation of the security created in respect of such Series by the Issuer are insufficient to pay all amounts owed by the Issuer to the secured creditors (other than the Margin Loan Provider(s)) in respect of that Series, no other assets of the Issuer will be available to meet any shortfall and all outstanding claims of such secured creditors will be extinguished. No party (other than the Margin Loan Provider(s)) will be entitled to take any further steps against the Issuer to recover any further sum.
Investment objective: The return on the ETP Securities is linked to the performance of the -3x Short Silver Investment Strategy. Exposure type: The ETP Securities offer a Short Exposure to the Reference Assets. Leverage Factor in respect of the ETP Securities is -3x. Reference Assets: The Reference Asset in respect of the ETP Securities is the following: iShares Silver Trust. Rebalance Period: Daily.

Each ETP Security has a Principal Amount of USD 10.
Where will the Securities be traded?
Application has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") for the ETP Securities to which these Final Terms apply to be admitted to the Official List of the FCA. Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the ETP Securities to which these Final Terms apply to be admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.
Application has been made to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse) for the Series of ETP Securities to which these Final Terms apply to be admitted to listing and trading on Deutsche Börse Xetra.
AN INVESTMENT IN ETP SECURITIES INVOLVES A SIGNIFICANT DEGREE OF RISK. The following are the key risk factors which should be carefully considered by prospective investors before deciding whether to invest in ETP Securities. Investors should consult their own financial, legal, accounting and tax advisors about the risks of an investment in ETP Securities.
Market price of the ETP Securities:The ETP Securities may have a long term and the Final Redemption Date could be up to 50 years from the original Issue Date of the Series.
The only means through which an investor will be able to realise value from an ETP Security prior to their Final Redemption Date will be to sell it at its then market price in a secondary market transaction.
Market-making by Authorised Participants:Investors are dependent on there being one or more Authorised Participants making a market in ETP Securities in order to provide investors with liquidity. Investors should be aware that no Authorised Participant is obliged to make a market for any Series of ETP Securities and in circumstances where an Authorised Participant acts a market maker with respect to any Series of ETP Securities, such Authorised Participant may discontinue making a market at any time. If there are no Authorised Participants, or the Authorised Participant(s) fail to effectively make a market in the ETP Securities of a Series, the investors may not be able to sell any such ETP Securities within a short time period, or at a price close to the ETP Security Value for that Series. If investors are unable to sell the ETP Securities they will be unable to realise their investment until the final redemption date.
Short Exposure: Prospective investors should be aware that the ETP Securities provide short exposure to the performance of the Reference Asset, and as a result price rises in the relevant Reference Asset will generally result in a fall in value of the ETP Securities. In addition, leverage may magnify the effect price rises in the relevant Reference Asset have on the value of the ETP Securities.
Rebalancing Risk: An investment in the ETP Securities is suitable only for a sophisticated investor who is able to monitor its position in such ETP Securities on a frequent basis, and who understands the risks of compounded returns over the Rebalance Period and how the returns may be affected by unscheduled rebalancings. ETP Securities give the stated exposure to the relevant Reference Assets over the applicable Rebalance Period and accordingly, over periods of more than the applicable Rebalance Period, their performance can differ significantly from the performance of the relevant Reference Assets multiplied by the applicable Leverage Factor for such longer period.
ETP Securities linked to an Investment Strategy: Each ETP Security will be linked to the performance of the Reference Assets referenced by such Investment Strategy. Investors have no ownership rights in any Reference Assets of an Investment Strategy. The amount payable on redemption of the ETP Securities will depend on the liquidation of the Collateral Assets in relation to that Series.
The ETP Securities are being made available by the Issuer for subscription only to Authorised Participants appointed by the Issuer in relation the Programme who have submitted a valid subscription order to the Issuer. New issuances of ETP Securities will generally be settled on the second London Business Day (a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments in London) following the date on which a valid subscription order is received by the Issuer, together with the applicable fee, provided that such order is received prior to 2.30p.m. London time on such day.
In respect of each Series of ETP Securities, the fees payable by ETP Securityholders comprise the following components: (i) an Arranger fee which is charged at a rate of 0.75% per annum of the ETP Security Value held by an ETP Securityholder; (ii) the relevant Funding and Brokerage Fees which are subject to adjustment; (iii) taxes, fees and other amounts payable to the Irish Revenue Commissioners; (iv) amounts payable to the Margin Loan Provider and the Broker Dealer of Record; and (v) the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the liquidation of the Collateral Assets.
The Issuer will pass these costs on to investors, therefore reducing the value of their investment in the ETP Securities. No other costs will be charged to investors by the Issuer.
An offer of the ETP Securities that is not within an exemption from the requirement to publish a prospectus under the United Kingdom's version of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market, and repealing Directive 2003/71/EC, which is part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, during the relevant period may be made in the United Kingdom.
The reasons for the offer and use of proceeds are profit making and/or hedging.
The estimated net amount of the proceeds of issuance is USD 192989.31.
The proceeds of issuance will, at the discretion of the Portfolio Administrator, be invested in Ancillary Assets or maintained as cash balances and will be held in the Margin Account along with the proceeds of short selling the Physical Assets. Such Physical Assets shall be borrowed from the Margin Loan Provider in order to replicate (to the degree practicable) the return of the Index or to pursue the Investment Strategy referenced by the Series taking into account the applicable Leverage Factor.
The offer of ETP Securities is not subject to an underwriting agreement on a firm commitment basis.
The Authorised Participants and/or their respective affiliates may be active traders in certain markets.
These trading activities may present a conflict between the holders of the ETP Securities and the interests the Authorised Participants and their respective affiliates may have in their proprietary accounts, in facilitating transactions, including options and other derivatives transactions, for their customers and in accounts under their management. These trading activities, if they influence the value of an Index or Investment Strategy to which a Series of ETP Securities is linked, could be adverse to the interests of the ETP Securityholders. The Authorised Participants and their respective affiliates may also issue or underwrite additional securities or trade other products the return on which is linked to the value of an Index or Investment Strategy linked to a Series of ETP Securities or other similar strategies. An increased level of investment in these products may negatively affect the level of an Index or Investment Strategy to which a Series of ETP Securities is linked and therefore the amount payable in respect of such Series of ETP Securities on their stated maturity date or any prior redemption date, as applicable, and the market value of such ETP Securities.
GWM Limited (who may act as the Broker Dealer of Record and/or Portfolio Administrator and/or Authorised Participant in respect of a Series of ETP Securities) and the Determination Agent are under the common ownership of Jose Gonzalez who is also a director and the ultimate majority shareholder of the Arranger. Where such entities are acting, they will have only the duties and responsibilities expressly agreed to by them in the relevant capacity and will not, by virtue of being related to an entity acting in any other capacity, be deemed to have other duties or responsibilities or be deemed to hold a standard of care other than as expressly provided with respect to each such capacity.
