Delivery of gold

If an investor asserts his/her right to the delivery of the certificated volume of gold from the issuer, the gold will be transported to the respective point of delivery by Umicore AG & Co. KG, which is responsible for all physical delivery processes. The issuer will also have delivery rights of gold from Umicore AG & Co. KG, as the gold leaf debtor. Investors can find information on delivery and the alternative payment claims that are relevant for investment and insurance companies in the PDF document entitled "Information on the process for exercising Xetra-Gold".

Investors should contact their own bank about having gold delivered. For operational reasons, gold can only be delivered to one branch of a bank. The investor's client advisor applies for delivery to the bank maintaining the investor's securities account.

The usual transaction costs are charged when trading securities in the stock exchange. In the relationship between Clearstream Banking AG, the custodian, and the respective custodian bank of the investor, custody fees are charged per calendar month which until further notice amount to 0.025 per cent of the monthly holding of Xetra-Gold, which totals 0.3 per cent annually plus VAT. The end customer only pays the amount of custody fees which he/she has agreed upon with the depository bank. If an investor exercises the right to the delivery of the securitised amount of gold against the issuer, the investor will be charged the cost of the forming, packaging and insured delivery of the gold to the respective place of delivery plus any applicable value-added tax. Investors who demand repayment of Xetra-Gold in euro will receive as repayment amount a sum equivalent to the relevant gold market price less a handling charge of Euro 0.02 per share..
