The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to pay weekly distributions by selling put options on the Underlying Leveraged ETF, which provides exposure to 2 times the daily performance of the Underlying Asset. It is expected that the implied volatility on the Underlying Leveraged ETF to be twice the level of the Underlying Asset’s implied volatility and selling options on the Underlying Leveraged ETF to generate, over the same time horizon and for the same strike levels, twice the premium generated by selling options on the Underlying Asset. The premium received by the Fund from selling options will be distributed at least partially before the maturity of the options. This allows the Fund to make distributions on a weekly basis even if the options sold have longer maturity (such as monthly maturity for instance). This approach may result in the distributions being treated fiscally as return of capital (see “Distribution Risk” under the section “Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund”). There is no guarantee that the Fund will generate twice the level of premium that would be generated by selling options on the Underlying Asset.

The Fund is subject to the losses from the Underlying Leveraged ETF, which would likely be 2 times the losses compared to the Underlying Asset. In case a Put Spread Strategy (as defined under the section “The Fund’s Use of the Underlying Leveraged ETF Derivatives Contracts”) is implemented, the Fund may benefit from a limited downside protection against a negative price variation in the Underlying Leveraged ETF. Such protection will negatively affect the Fund’s overall income level. A put spread strategy with a narrow spread (the difference between the strikes of the put option sold and put option bought) may provide better protection but will have a higher negative impact on the Fund’s income level. A put spread strategy with a large spread will provide a lower protection but may have less negative impact on the Fund’s income level.

The Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in derivatives contracts that utilize the Underlying Leveraged ETF as their reference asset. For purposes of compliance with this investment policy, derivative contracts will be valued at their notional value.

For more information, see section “The Fund’s Use of the Underlying Leveraged ETF Derivatives Contracts” below.

The Fund’s cash balance may be invested in the following instruments: (1) U.S. Government securities, such as bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury; (2) money market funds; (3) short term bond ETFs; (4) corporate debt securities, such as commercial paper and other short-term unsecured promissory notes issued by businesses that are rated investment grade or of comparable quality as collateral for the Fund’s swap agreements; (5) repurchase transactions, which are transactions under which the purchaser (i.e., the Fund) acquires securities and the seller agrees, at the time of the sale, to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed-upon time and price, thereby determining the yield during the purchaser’s holding period, and/or; (6) US large cap equities listed on a national security exchange, sovereign fixed income securities with a credit rating at least equal to the United States Federal Government, or corporate debt securities, such as commercial paper and other short-term unsecured promissory notes issued by businesses that are rated investment grade for the purposes of entering into swap agreements with the Fund’s swap counterparties. The Fund may enter into such swap agreements to improve its operational efficiency.

The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”).

The Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

No Fund’s investment objective has been adopted as a fundamental investment policy and therefore each Fund’s investment objective along with its respective 80% investment policy may be changed without the consent of that Fund’s shareholders upon approval by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of GraniteShares ETF Trust (the “Trust”) and 60 days’ written notice to shareholders.

There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investment strategy will be properly implemented or will pay weekly distributions, and an investor may lose some or all of its investment. Even when the Fund makes a distribution it could be fiscally treated as return of capital (see “Distribution Risk” under the section “Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund”).

An Investment in the Fund is not an investment in the Underlying Leveraged ETF.

Additional information regarding the Underlying Leveraged ETF is set forth below.

The Fund’s Use of the Underlying Leveraged ETF Derivatives Contracts

Example 1 – Put Write Strategy - Selling In-the-money Put Option Contract with a One-month Maturity

Assume for simplicity that the Underlying Leveraged ETF’s shares are trading at $100.00 at the time the Fund sells an in-the-money put option contract with a strike price of $105.00 and a one-month maturity. The Fund receives a $5.50 premium for selling the put option contract.

Example 2 – Put Write Strategy - Selling Out-of-the-money Put Options Contracts with a One-week Maturity

Assume for simplicity that the Underlying Leveraged ETF’s shares are trading at $100.00 at the time the Fund sells an out-of-the-money put option contract with a strike price of $95.00 and a one-week maturity. The Fund receives a $0.50 premium for selling the put option contract.

Example 3 – Put Spread Strategy - Selling At-the-money Put Options Contracts and buy an Out-of-the-money Put Options Contracts with both with a One-month Maturity

Assume for simplicity that the Underlying Leveraged ETF’s shares are trading at $100.00 at the time the Fund sells an in-the-money put option contract with a strike price of $105.00 and buy an out-of-the-money put option contract with a strike price of $95.00 both with a one-month maturity. The Fund receives a $5.50 premium for selling the put option contract and pays $0.50 premium for buying the put option contract. Hence the Fund receives a $5.00 net premium.

The comparison between the Put Write Strategy in Example 1 and the Put Spread Strategy in Example 3, shows that the Put Spread Strategy has a narrower range of outcomes. It has limited participation in a potential increase or decrease in the Underlying Leveraged ETF’s share price.

In all examples 1 and 2, if the Underlying Leveraged ETF’s price were to drop to zero, the Fund’s NAV would be equal, before fees and costs, to the value of premium received.

Types of Options Contracts Used by the Fund

As part of the Fund’s strategy, the Fund may sell Flexible Exchange® (“FLEX”) put options contracts that are based on the value of the price returns of the Underlying Leveraged ETF. The Fund will only sell options contracts that are listed for trading on regulated U.S. exchanges. Traditional exchange-traded options contracts have standardized terms, such as the type (call or put), the reference asset, the strike price and expiration date. Exchange-listed options contracts are guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”). FLEX Options are a type of exchange-listed options contract with uniquely customizable terms that allow investors to customize key terms like type, strike price and expiration date that are standardized in a typical options contract. FLEX Options are also guaranteed for settlement by the OCC.

In general, an option is a contract that gives the purchaser (holder) of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from (call) or sell to (put) the seller (writer) of the option the security or currency underlying (in this case, the Underlying Leveraged ETF) the option at a specified exercise price. The writer of an option has the obligation upon exercise of the option to deliver the underlying security or currency upon payment of the exercise price (call) or to pay the exercise price upon delivery of the underlying security or currency (put). An option is said to be “European Style” when it can be exercised only at expiration whereas an “American Style” option can be exercised at any time prior to expiration. The Fund might use either European or American style options. The Fund intends to primarily utilize European style options.

Swap agreements Used by the Fund

As part of the Fund’s strategy, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with major financial institutions that provide the same exposure as to selling put options contracts on the Underlying Leveraged ETF. The swap agreements may reference standardized exchange-traded, FLEX, European Style or American Style put options contracts that are based on the values of the price returns of the Underlying Leveraged ETF. All put options contracts referenced in a swap agreement will be listed for trading on regulated U.S. exchanges.

The swap performance will settle in cash only irrespective of the types of the put options contracts referenced in the swap agreement.

Underlying Leveraged ETF

The Underlying Leveraged ETF seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2x) the return of ether (the “Underlying Asset”) for a single day, not for any other period.

The Underlying Leveraged ETF will not invest directly in ether. The Underlying Leveraged ETF will generally achieve their investment strategy by investing in ether futures or in swap contracts that provide exposure to ether futures. Ether futures held or referenced by the Underlying Leveraged ETF are standardized, cash-settled ether futures contracts traded on commodity exchanges registered with the CFTC. To maintain its exposure to ether futures, the Underlying Leveraged ETF must roll over its position before expiration. Futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced higher than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “contango.” When rolling futures contracts that are in contango, the Underlying Leveraged ETF will sell the expiring contract at a relatively lower price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively higher price. Conversely, futures contracts with a longer term to expiration may be priced lower than futures contracts with a shorter term to expiration, a relationship called “backwardation.” When rolling futures contracts that are in backwardation, the Underlying Leveraged ETF will sell the expiring contract at a relatively higher price and buy a longer-dated contract at a relatively lower price.

The Underlying Leveraged ETF may also invest in money market instruments and U.S. government to provide liquidity, serve as margin or collateralize the Underlying Leveraged ETF’s investments in ether futures contracts or in swap contracts.

The Underlying Leveraged ETF expects to gain exposure to ether by investing in ether futures contracts or swaps through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Because the Underlying Leveraged ETF intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), the Underlying Leveraged ETF intends to invest no more than 25% of its total assets in the subsidiary at each quarter end of the fund’s tax year.

Due to the high margin requirements that are unique to ether futures contracts and certain tests that must be met in order to qualify as a RIC, the Underlying Leveraged ETF may also utilize reverse repurchase agreements during certain times of the year to help maintain the desired level of exposure to ether futures contracts.

The Underlying Leveraged ETF may not always achieve its intended investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2x) the daily performance of the ether and may return substantially less than that on days at or around quarter end when the Underlying Leveraged ETF must reduce its exposure to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC.

The Underlying Leveraged ETFs are subject to the information requirements of the federal securities laws, and in accordance therewith, file reports and other information with the SEC. The SEC maintains an internet website, www.sec.gov, that contains reports and other info regarding the Underlying Leveraged ETFs that are filed electronically with SEC.

Additional Information on Ether

Ether is a digital asset. The ownership and operation of ether is determined by participants in an online, peer-to-peer network sometimes referred to as the “Ethereum Network.” The Ethereum Network connects computers that run publicly accessible, or “open source,” software that follows the rules and procedures governing the Ethereum Network. This is commonly referred to as the Ethereum Protocol.

The value of ether is not backed by any government, corporation, or other identified body. Instead, its value is determined in part by the supply and demand in markets created to facilitate the trading of ether. Ownership and transaction records for ether are protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of ether is determined by the Ethereum Protocol. No single entity owns or operates the Ethereum Network. The Ethereum Network is collectively maintained by (1) a decentralized group of participants who run computer software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly referred to as “validators”), (2) developers who propose improvements to the Ethereum Protocol and the software that enforces the Protocol and (3) users who choose which version of the Ethereum software to run. From time to time, the developers suggest changes to the Ethereum software. If a sufficient number of users and validators elect not to adopt the changes, a new digital asset, operating on the earlier version of the Ethereum software, may be created. This is often referred to as a “fork.” The price of the ether futures contracts in which the Fund invests may reflect the impact of these forks.
