Trust NAV vs. Trust Closing Price - December March 1, 20252026 - FebruaryMay 28,31, 2026

During the period of DecemberMarch 1, 20252026 through February 28,May 31, 2026 the market for European Union Allowances (EUA) traded in a range of $78.69$72.34 (FebruaryMarch 16, 19, 2026) to $104.60$92.75 (JanuaryMay 15, 29, 2026) with the closing price on FebruaryMay 27,29, 2026 of $79.96.$92.75. There were a variety of influences on the price in the EUA market. Some of those factors influencing EUA prices during the period were: (i) the ongoing tightening of allowance supply driven by the emissions cap reduction schedule and Market Stability Reserve withdrawals; (ii) record speculative long positioning by investment funds, which amplified price swings in both directions; (iii) the relative mildness of winter and spring temperatures across Northern Europe through January 2026, Europe, which moderated near-term power demand and reduced compliance buying pressure; (iv) ongoing uncertainty regarding economic conditions and industrial activity within the EU; (v) macroeconomic and currency dynamics resulting from trade policy discussions between the United States and the European Union; (vi) continued evolution of the Ukraine-Russia conflict and its impact on natural gas supply and pricing with the additional impact of hostilities in the Middle East compounding these pressures; and (vii) the emergenceongoing implications of politically-driven regulatory risk surrounding the upcoming ETS revision, which intensified materially following the Antwerp Summit. Going forward, the Sponsor expects the primary drivers of EUA price levels to continue to be: (i) overall weather patterns and their impact on European power demand; (ii) aggregate EU industrial activity; (iii) the outcome of the EU ETS legislative revision process, expected to betake formally initiated inplace during Q3 2026; (iv) the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict and its effect on energy prices and EU industrial cost structures; and (v) the continued pace of institutional investor positioning in EUAs and the extent to which speculative long positions are maintained, reduced, or reversed in response to political developments.developments; Itand should(vi) bethe notedlength Inof mid-Januarythe 2026,Middle followingEast conflict and the overall supply of oil. Following ongoing public commentary suggesting possible structural modifications or adjustments to the EU ETS framework, EUA prices experienced significant short-term fluctuations. On January 15, 2026, EUAs traded at an intraday high of approximately $107.57 per EUA,fluctuations and bynow Februaryreact 16, 2026, had declinedswiftly to anany intradayheadline low of approximately $78.49 per EUA, representing a price swing of approximately 27% within a one-month period. Such movements reflect heightened sensitivity of the EUA markets to regulatory signaling andindicating policy uncertainty.movements. Market participants are currently focused on the outcome of the EU’s regularly scheduled comprehensive review of the EU ETS framework, which is expected to conclude inat the end of the third quarter of 2026. Until greater clarity is provided regarding the scope and timing of any potential amendments to the program, we expect elevated price volatility in EUAs to persist. Continued uncertainty surrounding the EU ETS framework may impact trading volumes, pricing stability, and market liquidity.

GenerallyThe ongoing speaking,volatility forcreated by policy uncertainty contributed to a notable shift in how the firstTrust’s twoShares monthstraded ofrelative to NAV over the quarterperiod, moving from a premium to a discount. On February 11, 2026, an industrial competitiveness conference held in Antwerp prompted public comments regarding the future structure of the EU ETS, which contributed to a subsequent decline in EUA prices and, in turn, the Trust’s NAV. Because of the limited number of Shares outstanding and the small public float, the market price of the Shares trackedadjusted to closelythis todecline only gradually. As a result, the NAVShares perinitially Share. On February 11, an industrial competitiveness conference was held in Antwerp where public comments were made about the future structure of the EU ETS. Following these comments, a period of uncertainty and increased volatility caused the market price to decouple from the NAV with the market price tradingtraded at a premium to NAV, as the NAV.market price lagged the decline in NAV, and then, as the market price caught up over the following weeks while NAV recovered, the same limited liquidity carried the Shares to a discount to NAV by the end of the period. Management believes thisthese istrading dynamics are primarily the result of the limited number of sharesShares outstanding and the small public float. Over time, as more Shares are issued, we expect the frequency and magnitude of the trading premiums and discounts to NAV to decline.
