Shares (the Shares) of the SPDR® Gold Trust (the Trust) trade like stocks, are
subject to investment risk and will fluctuate in market value. The value of the Shares relates
directly to the value of the gold held by the Trust (less Trust expenses) and fluctuations in the
price of gold could materially adversely affect an investment in the Shares. Investors should be
aware that there is no assurance that gold will maintain its long-term value in terms of purchasing
power in the future. The Trust does not generate any income and as the Trust regularly sells gold
to pay for its ongoing expenses, the amount of gold represented by each Share will decline over
time.
