Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of interest)

We are offering the PLUS as part of Morgan Stanley’s Series I medium-term notes or MSFL’s Series A medium-term notes, as applicable, on a continuing basis through Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS & Co.”), which we refer to as the “agent.” We may also use other agents that will be named in the applicable pricing supplement. The agent has, or will have, agreed to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers to purchase the PLUS. We will have the sole right to accept offers to purchase the PLUS and may reject any offer in whole or in part. The agent may reject, in whole or in part, any offer it solicited to purchase PLUS. We will pay the agent, in connection with sales of the PLUS resulting from a solicitation the agent made or an offer to purchase the agent received, a commission that will be specified in the applicable pricing supplement.

We may also sell the PLUS to the agent as principal for its own account at discounts to be agreed upon at the time of sale as disclosed in the applicable pricing supplement. The agent may resell the PLUS to investors and other purchasers at a fixed offering price or at prevailing market prices, or prices related thereto at the time of resale or otherwise, as the agent determines and as we will specify in the applicable pricing supplement. The agent may offer the PLUS it has purchased as principal to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley Wealth Management”) as selected dealer, or to other dealers, including Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc (“MSIP”) and Bank Morgan Stanley AG. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, MSIP and Bank Morgan Stanley AG are affiliates of Morgan Stanley and MSFL. The agent may sell the PLUS to any dealer at a discount and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, the discount allowed to any dealer will not be in excess of the discount the agent will receive from us. After the initial public offering of PLUS that the agent is to resell on a fixed public offering price basis, the agent may change the public offering price, concession, discount and other selling terms from time to time.

The agent may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We and the agent have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments made in respect of those liabilities. We have also agreed to reimburse the agent for specified expenses.

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable pricing supplement, we do not intend to apply for the listing of the PLUS on a national securities exchange. The agent may make a market in the PLUS as applicable laws and regulations permit. The agent is not obligated to do so, however, and the agent may discontinue making a market at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of any trading market for the PLUS.

MS & Co. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley and an affiliate of MSFL, and it and other subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley and affiliates of MSFL expect to make a profit by selling, structuring and, when applicable, hedging the PLUS. When MS & Co. prices an offering of PLUS, it will determine the economic terms for such PLUS such that for each PLUS the estimated value on the pricing date will be no lower than the predetermined minimum level set forth and described in the applicable pricing supplement.

The agent will conduct each offering of the PLUS in compliance with the requirements of FINRA Rule 5121 regarding a FINRA member firm’s distribution of the securities of an affiliate and related conflicts of interest. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, no agent or dealer that is an affiliate of ours will make sales in this offering to any discretionary account without the prior written approval of the customer. Following the initial distribution of the PLUS, the agent may offer and sell those PLUS in the course of its business as a broker-dealer. The agent may act as principal or agent in those transactions and will make any sales at varying prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale or otherwise. The agent may use this prospectus supplement in connection with any of those transactions. The agent is not obligated to make a market in any of the PLUS and may cease to make a market at any time without notice.

In order to facilitate the offering of the PLUS, the agent may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the PLUS or of the underlying assets. Specifically, the agent may sell more PLUS than it is obligated to purchase in connection with the offering, creating a naked short position for its own account. The agent must close out any naked short position by purchasing PLUS in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the agent is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the PLUS in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. As an additional

means of facilitating the offering, the agent may bid for, and purchase, the PLUS or the underlying assets in the open market to stabilize the price of the PLUS or of such underlying assets. Finally, in any offering of the PLUS through a syndicate of underwriters or dealer group, the agent acting on behalf of the underwriting syndicate or for itself may also reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the PLUS in the offering, if the agent repurchases previously distributed PLUS to cover syndicate short positions or to stabilize the price of the PLUS. Any of these activities may raise or maintain the market price of the PLUS above independent market levels or prevent or retard a decline in the market price of the PLUS. The agent is not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time.

Concurrently with the offering of the PLUS through the agent, we may issue other debt securities under the applicable indenture referred to in this prospectus supplement similar to those described in this prospectus supplement. In the case of Morgan Stanley, those debt securities may include other Series I medium-term notes and medium-term notes under its Series J and Series K prospectus supplement, which we refer to as “Euro medium-term notes.” The other Series I medium-term notes and the Euro medium-term notes may have terms substantially similar to the terms of the PLUS offered under this prospectus supplement. The Euro medium-term notes may be offered concurrently with the offering of the PLUS, on a continuing basis outside the United States by us, under a distribution agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, as agent for us. The terms of that distribution agreement, which we refer to as the Euro Distribution Agreement, are substantially similar to the terms of the distribution agreement for a U.S. offering, except for selling restrictions specified in the Euro Distribution Agreement. In the case of MSFL, those debt securities may include other Series A medium term-notes. The other Series A medium-term notes may have terms substantially similar to the terms of the PLUS offered under this prospectus supplement.

The agent or an affiliate of the agent will enter into a hedging transaction with us in connection with each offering of PLUS. See “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” above.

With respect to each issuance of PLUS, we expect to deliver the PLUS against payment therefor in New York, New York on the original issue date (settlement date) specified in the applicable pricing supplement. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, if the original issue date for any issuance of PLUS is more than two business days after the pricing date, purchasers who wish to trade PLUS more than two business days prior to the original issue date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

PLUS Offered on a Global Basis

If the applicable pricing supplement indicates that any of our PLUS will be offered on a global basis, those registered global securities will be offered for sale in those jurisdictions outside of the United States where it is legal to make offers for sale of those PLUS.

The agent has represented and agreed, and any other agent through which we may offer any PLUS on a global basis will represent and agree, that it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers the PLUS or possesses or distributes the applicable pricing supplement, this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus and will obtain any consent, approval or permission required by it for the purchase, offer or sale by it of the PLUS under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which it is subject or in which it makes purchases, offers or sales of the PLUS, and we shall not have responsibility for the agent’s compliance with the applicable laws and regulations or obtaining any required consent, approval or permission.

With respect to sales in any jurisdictions outside of the United States of such PLUS offered on a global basis, purchasers of any such PLUS may be required to pay stamp taxes and other charges in accordance with the laws and practices of the country of purchase in addition to the issue price set forth on the cover page of the applicable pricing supplement.

General

No action has been or will be taken by us, the agent or any dealer that would permit a public offering of the PLUS or possession or distribution of any pricing supplement or this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus in any jurisdiction, other than the United States, where action for that purpose is required. No offers, sales or deliveries of the PLUS, or distribution of any pricing supplement or this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or any other offering material relating to the PLUS, may be made in or from any jurisdiction except in circumstances which will result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations and will not impose any obligations on us, any agent or any dealer.

The agent has represented and agreed, and each dealer through which we may offer the PLUS has represented and agreed, that it (i) will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in force in each non-U.S. jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers the PLUS or possesses or distributes any pricing supplement, this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and (ii) will obtain any consent, approval or permission required by it for the purchase, offer or sale by it of the PLUS under the laws and regulations in force in each non-U.S. jurisdiction to which it is subject or in which it makes purchases, offers or sales of the PLUS. We shall not have responsibility for any agent’s or any dealer’s compliance with the applicable laws and regulations or obtaining any required consent, approval or permission.

Canada

With respect to sales of the PLUS in Canada, the PLUS may be sold only to purchasers purchasing, or deemed to be purchasing, as principal that are both accredited investors, as defined in National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions or subsection 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario), and permitted clients, as defined in National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations. Any resale of the PLUS must be made in accordance with an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws.

Securities legislation in certain provinces or territories of Canada may provide a purchaser with remedies for rescission or damages if this document (including any amendment thereto) contains a misrepresentation, provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

Unless otherwise noted in the applicable pricing supplement, pursuant to section 3A.3 (or, in the case of PLUS issued or guaranteed by the government of a non-Canadian jurisdiction, section 3A.4) of National Instrument 33-105 Underwriting Conflicts (“NI 33-105”), the dealers, underwriters or agents, if any, involved in the sale of the PLUS are not required to comply with the disclosure requirements of NI 33-105 regarding underwriter conflicts of interest in connection with this offering.

European Economic Area and United Kingdom

IMPORTANT – EEA AND UNITED KINGDOM RETAIL INVESTORS – The PLUS are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) or in the United Kingdom. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended (“MiFID II”); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the European Union’s Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the “Prospectus Regulation”). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as amended (the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the PLUS or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or in the United Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the PLUS or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or in the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

Neither this prospectus supplement nor the accompanying prospectus is a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus have been prepared on the basis that all offers of the PLUS made to persons in the EEA or in the United Kingdom will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to produce a prospectus in connection with offers of the PLUS.

The agent has represented and agreed, and each further agent, dealer and underwriter appointed under this program will be required to represent and agree, that it has not offered, sold or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available any PLUS to any retail investor in the EEA or in the United Kingdom. For the purposes of this provision:

(a)       the expression “retail investor” means a person who is one (or more) of the following:

(i)       a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or

(ii)       a customer within the meaning of the Insurance Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or

(iii)       not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation; and

(b)       the expression an “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the PLUS to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the PLUS.

United Kingdom

With respect to PLUS to be offered or sold in the United Kingdom, the agent has represented and agreed, and each underwriter, dealer, other agent and remarketing firm participating in the distribution of the PLUS will be required to represent and agree, that (1) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended (the “FSMA”)) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any PLUS in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to us, and (2) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to any PLUS in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

The communication of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any other documents or materials relating to the issue of PLUS is not being made, and such documents and/or materials have not been approved, by an authorised person for the purposes of Section 21 of the FSMA. Accordingly, such documents and/or materials are not being distributed to, and must not be passed on to, the general public in the United Kingdom. The communication of such documents and/or materials as a financial promotion is only being made to those persons in the United Kingdom falling within the definition of investment professionals as defined in Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (the “Financial Promotion Order”) or within Article 49(2)(A) to (D) of the Financial Promotion Order, or to any other persons to whom it may otherwise lawfully be made under the Financial Promotion Order (all such persons together being referred to as “relevant persons”). In the United Kingdom the PLUS are only available to, and any investment or investment activity to which this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus relates will be engaged in only with, relevant persons. Any person in the United Kingdom that is not a relevant person should not act or rely on this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus or any of its or their contents.

Where PLUS have a maturity of less than one year from their date of issue and either (a) the issue proceeds are received by us in the United Kingdom or (b) the activity of issuing the PLUS is carried on from an establishment maintained by us in the United Kingdom, each such PLUS must: (i)(A) have a minimum redemption value of £100,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) (B) no part of any such PLUS may be transferred unless the redemption value of that part is not less than £100,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) and (C) be issued only to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or who it is reasonable to expect will acquire, hold, manage

or dispose of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses; or (ii) be issued in other circumstances which do not constitute a contravention of Section 19 of the FSMA by us.

With respect to such PLUS that have a maturity of less than one year, the agent has represented and agreed, and each underwriter, dealer, other agent and remarketing firm participating in the distribution of the PLUS will be required to represent and agree, that (1) it is a person whose ordinary activities involve it in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of its business, and (2) it has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell any such PLUS other than to persons:

(i)        whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses; or

(ii)       who it is reasonable to expect will acquire, hold, manage or dispose of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses,

where the issue of the PLUS would otherwise constitute a contravention of Section 19 of the FSMA by us.

Japan

No document, invitation or advertisement relating to the PLUS has been issued or will be issued or has been or will be in the possession of any person for the purpose of issue (in each case whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere), which is directed at, or the contents of which are likely to be accessed or read by, the public of Hong Kong (except if permitted under the securities laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to PLUS which are or are intended to be disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to “professional investors” as defined in the SFO and any rules made under that Ordinance. The offer of the PLUS is personal to the person to whom this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus has been delivered by or on behalf of us, and a subscription for PLUS will only be accepted from such person.

Switzerland

The agent has represented and agreed, and each further agent, dealer and underwriter appointed under this program will be required to represent and agree, that, subject to the paragraph immediately below:

(i)       the PLUS may not be publicly offered, directly or indirectly, in Switzerland within the meaning of the Swiss Financial Services Act (the “FinSA”) and will not be admitted to trading on a trading venue (exchange or multilateral trading facility) in Switzerland;

(ii)       none of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any other offering or marketing material relating to any PLUS (x) constitutes a prospectus compliant with the requirements of articles 652a and 1156 of the Swiss Code of Obligations (as such articles were in effect immediately prior to the entry into effect of the FinSA) in accordance with article 109 of the Swiss Financial Services Ordinance (“FinSO”) or pursuant

to articles 35 and 45 of the FinSA for a public offering of the PLUS in Switzerland and no such prospectus has been or will be prepared for or in connection with the offering of the PLUS in Switzerland or (y) has been or will be filed with or approved by a Swiss review body (Prüfstelle) pursuant to article 52 of the FinSA; and

(iii)       none of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or other offering or marketing material relating to any PLUS may be publicly distributed or otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland.

Notwithstanding the paragraph immediately above, in respect of any issuance of PLUS, the issuer of PLUS, the agent and the relevant dealer(s) and underwriter(s) may agree that (x) such PLUS may be publicly offered in Switzerland within the meaning of the FinSA and/or (y) an application will be made by (or on behalf of) the issuer to admit such PLUS to trading on a trading venue (exchange or multilateral trading facility) in Switzerland, provided that:

(i)       the issuer is able to rely, and is relying, on an exemption from the requirement to prepare and publish a prospectus under the FinSA in connection with such public offer and/or application for admission to trading;

(ii)       in the case of any such public offer, the relevant agent, dealer(s) and underwriter(s) have agreed to comply with any restrictions applicable to the offer and sale of such PLUS that must be complied with in order for the issuer to rely on such exemption; and

(i)       no key information document (Basisinformationsblatt) pursuant to article 58 (1) of the FinSA (or any equivalent document under the FinSA) has been or will be prepared in relation to any PLUS; and

(ii)       therefore, any PLUS with a derivative character within the meaning of article 86 (2) of the FinSO may not be offered or recommended to private clients within the meaning of the FinSA in Switzerland.

The CMF nor any other regulatory authority in the Republic of Chile has reviewed or approved the contents of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. This prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus does not constitute an offer or invitation to the public in Chile to acquire PLUS.

According to NCG 336, on or before making any offer of the PLUS in Chile, the person making the offer shall include in all offering materials the following cautionary language in English and in Spanish:

“IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR INVESTORS RESIDENT IN CHILE: (1) The offering of the PLUS will commence in Chile on [dd/mm/yyyy]; (2) the offering will be subject to Norma de Carácter General N° 336 of the CMF; (3) the offered PLUS are not and will not be registered in the Securities Registry (Registro de Valores) or in the Foreign Securities Registry (Registro de Valores Extranjeros) of the CMF and will therefore not be subject to the supervision of the CMF; (4) the offered PLUS are not registered in Chile and the issuer thereof is not required to disclose information to the public in Chile about its PLUS; and (5) the offered PLUS cannot and will not be publicly offered in Chile unless and until the offered PLUS are registered in the corresponding securities registry of the CMF.

Pursuant to NCG 336, the PLUS may be privately offered to certain “qualified investors” as such are defined in NCG 336 and further described in Rules No. 216 of June 12, 2008 and 410 of July 27, 2016 of the CMF. The person making the offer in Chile should consult with local counsel about these definitions.

Brazil

The PLUS have not been, and will not be, issued, placed, distributed, offered or negotiated in the Brazilian capital markets. The issuance of the PLUS has not been nor will the PLUS be registered with the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários), or the CVM. Any public offering or distribution, as defined under Brazilian laws and regulations, of the PLUS in Brazil is not permitted without such registration or an express exemption or registration with the CVM pursuant to Brazilian laws and regulations. Documents relating to the offering of the PLUS, as well as information contained therein, may not be supplied to the public in Brazil (as the offering of the PLUS is not a public offering of securities in Brazil), nor be used in connection with any offer for subscription or sale of the PLUS to the public in Brazil. This prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is not addressed to Brazilian residents and it should not be forwarded or distributed to, nor read or consulted by, acted on or relied upon by Brazilian residents. Any investment to which this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus relates is available only to non-Brazilian residents and will only be made by non- Brazilian residents.

Mexico

The PLUS have not been and will not be registered with the National Securities Registry (Registro Nacional de Valores) maintained by the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores; the “CNBV”) and, therefore, may not be offered or sold publicly in Mexico, except that the PLUS may be sold to Mexican institutional and accredited investors solely pursuant to the private placement exemption set forth in the Mexican Securities Market Law (Ley del Mercado de Valores). Each of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is solely our responsibility and has not been reviewed or authorized by the CNBV. The acquisition of the PLUS by an investor who is a resident of Mexico will be made under its own responsibility.

Annex I

Certain Additional Commodity and Commodity Index Risks

We have derived all information contained in this prospectus supplement and the applicable pricing supplement regarding any specified underlying commodity or underlying commodity index, including, without limitation, changes in the historical values and the method of calculation for any commodity index, from publicly available information. In connection with the offering of PLUS, neither we nor the agent has made any due diligence inquiry with respect to any specified underlying commodity or underlying commodity index or underlying commodity index publisher and neither we nor the agent makes any representation that publicly available information regarding any underlying commodity or underlying commodity index is accurate or complete. Furthermore, we cannot give any assurance that all events occurring prior to the date of any offering of PLUS (including events that would affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available information described in this paragraph or in the applicable pricing supplement) that would affect the value of any underlying commodity or underlying commodity index have been publicly disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events could affect the value received at maturity or on any call date with respect to the PLUS and therefore the trading prices of the PLUS.

In this prospectus supplement and any applicable pricing supplement, unless the context requires otherwise, references to any specific underlying commodity index listed below will include any successor index to such underlying commodity index and references to the underlying commodity index publisher will include any successor thereto.

Certain Risks Applicable to Commodities Generally

The price of a given commodity is primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of such commodity, but is also influenced significantly from time to time by speculative actions and by currency exchange rates. There are substitutes for most commodities in various applications, though considerations such as relative cost often limit substitution levels. The price and availability of substitutes for a given commodity will also affect the price by affecting the demand for such commodity. For example, in 2008, when the price of coal and the price of oil reached all-time peaks, the price of natural gas reached an all-time peak.

Demand for most commodities has generally increased with worldwide growth and prosperity and is generally positively correlated with the level of global economic activity. However, certain commodities, in particular, precious metals, are used as hedges against deteriorating economic conditions including the devaluation of currencies, especially the U.S. dollar, and hence there may also be upward pressure on demand for such commodities when worldwide economic conditions worsen.

Commodity prices are volatile and may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. For example, between July 2010 and May 2011 – a period of only ten months – the price of cotton increased by approximately 74%. However, from July 1, 2008 to January 2009, crude oil prices fell by approximately 72%. There is no assurance that commodities that have increased in price will continue to experience similar increases, and you should not take the past performance of any commodity as an indication of its future performance. It is not possible to predict the aggregate effect of all or any combination of the factors described in this general risks section, or the commodity-specific risks described below.

Certain Risks Applicable to Specific Commodities

High Grade Primary Aluminum

Demand for aluminum is significantly influenced by the level of global industrial economic activity. Industrial sectors which are particularly important to demand for aluminum include the automobile, packaging and construction sectors. An additional, but highly volatile, component of demand is adjustments to inventory in response to changes in economic activity and/or pricing levels. The supply of aluminum is widely spread around the world, with the main sources in North America, Europe and China, and the principal factor dictating the smelting of aluminum is the ready availability of inexpensive power. The supply of aluminum is also affected by current and

previous price levels, which will influence investment decisions in new smelters. Other factors influencing supply include droughts, transportation problems, labor strikes and shortages of power and raw materials.

Brent Crude Oil

Brent crude oil (“Brent”) is light sweet crude oil from the North Sea. Most refinement takes place in Northwest Europe. Brent prices are generally more volatile and subject to dislocation than prices of other commodities. Demand for refined petroleum products by consumers, as well as the agricultural, manufacturing and transportation industries, affects the price of crude oil. Crude oil’s end-use as a refined product is often as transport fuel, industrial fuel and in-home heating fuel. Potential for substitution in most areas exists, although considerations including relative cost often limit substitution levels. Because the precursors of demand for petroleum products are linked to economic activity, demand will tend to reflect economic conditions. Demand is also influenced by government regulations, such as environmental or consumption policies. In addition to general economic activity and demand, prices for crude oil are affected by political events, labor activity, developments in production technology such as fracking, and, in particular, direct government intervention (such as embargos) or supply disruptions in major oil producing regions of the world. Such events tend to affect oil prices worldwide, regardless of the location of the event. Supply for crude oil may increase or decrease depending on many factors. These include production decisions by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and other crude oil producers. OPEC has the potential to influence oil prices worldwide because its members possess a significant portion of the world’s oil supply. In the event of sudden disruptions in the supplies of oil, such as those caused by war, natural events, accidents or acts of terrorism, prices of oil futures contracts could become extremely volatile and unpredictable. Also, sudden and dramatic changes in the futures market may occur, for example, upon the commencement or cessation of hostilities that may exist in countries producing oil, the introduction of new or previously withheld supplies into the market or the introduction of substitute products or commodities. Crude oil prices may also be affected by short-term changes in supply and demand because of trading activities in the oil market and seasonality (e.g., weather conditions such as hurricanes).

Coal - API

Due to the importance of coal in the generation of electricity and the production of iron and steel, the electric and steel industries account for a significant percentage of coal demand. Nuclear power, natural gas, hydro-electric power, wind and solar power and crude oil can be used as substitutes for coal, and the availability and price of each of these alternative energy sources also affects demand for coal. Government regulations regarding air pollution affect the demand for coal, and, specifically, the demand for specific types of coal, by limiting the amount of sulfur dioxide which may be emitted during the use of coal. Other factors that affect the price of coal include weather patterns, discoveries of new coal deposits, labor and equipment costs, environmental, health and safety and other government regulations, including the regulation of mines, government subsidies and tax incentives and transportation disruptions.

Cocoa

Cocoa is primarily used by the confectionary industry. The majority of cocoa is produced in West African nations such as Ghana and the Ivory Coast. This region has historically been subject to periods of significant political instability, which could lead to disruptions in production and price volatility. The majority of cocoa consumption is in the European Union member nations and the United States. Any significant changes in demand for cocoa by these nations could result in substantial volatility and a decline in the price of cocoa.

Coffee

The supply of coffee can be affected by weather conditions, the health of coffee trees and harvesting practices. Historically, weather has played a major role in determining world supply. The internal policies of the governments of coffee-producing countries with regard to number of trees planted, price support programs and world export quotas can also impact the amount of coffee available for world trade. The demand for coffee is primarily determined by its price, the price and availability of substitute drinks and consumers’ tastes. The price of coffee has been extraordinarily volatile over the years. It is subject to supply disruptions such as freezing conditions in the major coffee growing regions, such as the Brazilian highlands, and to new exporters buying market share via lower

prices, as was the case for Vietnam in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The intraday volatility of coffee futures is also high.

Copper - Grade A

Demand for copper is significantly influenced by the level of global industrial economic activity. Industrial sectors which are particularly important to demand for copper include the electrical and construction sectors. In recent years demand has been supported by strong consumption from newly industrializing countries due to their copper-intensive economic growth and infrastructure development. An additional, but highly volatile, component of demand is adjustments to inventory in response to changes in economic activity and/or pricing levels. There are substitutes for copper in various applications. Their availability and price will also affect demand for copper. The main sources of copper are mines in Latin America and Eastern Europe and copper is refined mainly in Latin America, Australia and Asia. The supply of copper is also affected by current and previous price levels, which will influence investment decisions in new smelters. In previous years, copper supply has been affected by strikes, financial problems and terrorist activity. It is not possible to predict the aggregate effect of all or any combination of these factors.

Corn - CBOT

The demand for corn is in part linked to the development of industrial and energy uses for corn. This includes the use of corn in the production of ethanol. The demand for corn is also affected by the production and profitability of the pork and poultry sectors, which use corn for feed. Negative developments in those industries may lessen the demand for corn. For example, if avian flu were to have a negative effect on world poultry markets, the demand for corn might decrease. The supply of corn is dependent on many factors including weather patterns, government regulation, the price of fuel and fertilizers and the current and previous price of corn. The United States is the world’s largest supplier of corn, followed by China and Brazil. The supply of corn is particularly sensitive to weather patterns in the United States and China. In addition, technological advances could lead to increases in worldwide production of corn and corresponding decreases in the price of corn.

Cotton No. 2 - NYBOT

The price of cotton is affected by governmental programs and policies regarding agriculture, including cotton, specifically, and trade, fiscal and monetary issues, more generally. Extrinsic factors also affect cotton prices such as weather, crop yields, natural disasters, technological developments, wars and political and civil upheavals.

Gold

The market for gold bullion is global, and gold prices are subject to volatile price movements over short periods of time and are affected by numerous factors, including macroeconomic factors such as, among other things, the structure of and confidence in the global monetary system, expectations regarding the future rate of inflation, the relative strength of, and confidence in, the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of gold is generally quoted), interest rates and gold borrowing and lending rates, and global or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events. Gold prices may also be affected by industry factors such as industrial and jewelry demand as well as lending, sales and purchases of gold by the official governmental sector, including central banks and other governmental agencies and multilateral institutions that hold gold, sales of gold recycled from jewelry, levels of gold production and production costs and short-term changes in supply and demand due to trading activities in the gold market.

Standard Lead

Demand for lead is significantly influenced by the level of global industrial economic activity. Lead is mostly used in batteries, pigments and compounds. The storage battery industrial sector is particularly important to demand for lead given that the use of lead in the manufacture of batteries accounts for approximately two-thirds of worldwide lead demand. The use of lead in the manufacture of power generation units accounts for a significant percentage of worldwide lead demand. Lead is used to house power generation units as it protects against electrical charges and dangerous radiation. Additional applications of lead include gasoline additives, pigments, chemicals

and crystal glass. Use in the manufacture of these products will influence demand for lead as well. An additional, highly volatile component of demand is adjustments to inventory in response to changes in economic activity and/or pricing levels. The supply of lead is widely spread around the world, with the main sources in Australia, North America and Latin America. The supply of lead is also affected by current and previous price levels, which influence investment decisions regarding new mines and smelters. A critical factor influencing supply is the environmental and regulatory regimes of the countries in which lead is mined and processed.

Lean Hogs

Lean hogs refers to industrially-raised pigs or hogs that have reached the requisite weight for slaughter in the United States. Futures and options contracts on hog (barrow and gilt) carcasses (in each case, with a contract size of 40,000 pounds) are traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Lean hogs are a “non-storable” commodity, which means that the hogs can be kept in their “finished condition” (that is, ready for slaughter) for only a limited period of time. As lean hogs reach market weights, they must be sold or suffer discounts. As a result, lean hogs may experience greater price volatility than “storable” commodities. Lean hogs prices are primarily affected by the U.S. domestic demand for and supply of lean hogs, but are also influenced by speculative actions and by currency exchange rates. Lean hogs are sourced from within the United States and the United States is the largest consumer of the lean hogs. In addition, prices for lean hogs are affected by governmental programs and policies regarding livestock, as well as general trade, fiscal and exchange control policies. Extrinsic factors such as drought, floods, general weather conditions, disease, availability of and prices for livestock feed, availability of grazing land and natural disasters will also affect live lean hog prices. Demand for livestock commodities such as lean hogs has generally increased with worldwide growth and prosperity and global or U.S.-specific recessions will likely adversely affect demand for, and consequently the prices of, lean hogs.

Live Cattle

Live cattle refers to cattle that have reached the requisite weight for slaughter in the United States. Futures and options contracts on live cattle (in each case, with a contract size of 40,000 pounds) are traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Live cattle is a “non-storable” commodity, which means that the cattle can be kept in their “finished condition” ( that is, ready for slaughter) for only a limited period of time. As live cattle reach market weights, they must be sold or suffer discounts. As a result, live cattle may experience greater price volatility than “storable” commodities. Live cattle prices are primarily affected by the U.S. domestic demand for and supply of live cattle, but are also influenced by speculative actions and by currency exchange rates. Live cattle are primarily sourced from within the United States, but some live cattle are transported from Mexico and Canada and the United States is the largest consumer of the live cattle. In addition, prices for live cattle are affected by governmental programs and policies regarding livestock, as well as general trade, fiscal and exchange control policies. Extrinsic factors such as drought, floods, general weather conditions, disease (e.g., Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, or Mad Cow Disease), availability of and prices for livestock feed, availability of grazing land and natural disasters will also affect live cattle prices. Demand for livestock commodities such as live cattle has generally increased with worldwide growth and prosperity and global or U.S.-specific recessions will likely adversely affect demand for, and consequently the prices of, live cattle.

Milk

Class III milk is used primarily for the production of hard cheeses and cream cheese and, accordingly, prices of Class III milk are chiefly affected by the supply of Class III milk and the demand for hard cheeses and cream cheese, which are the principal uses of Class III milk. The European Union and the United States are two of the largest producers of dairy products in the world. These regions also have very large domestic markets for dairy products, which account for the consumption of the majority of the dairy products they produce. The dairy industry is heavily regulated and that regulation changes from time-to-time, often with effects on the price of Class III milk that are not immediately ascertainable. For example, In the United States, legislation enacted on February 7, 2014 repealed the existing price support system that was designed to act as a floor on dairy prices when supplies increased and instituted a new system intended to preserve margins for dairy producers and to stimulate demand when margins decrease below a predetermined level. The impact this legislation may have on dairy prices, including Class III milk prices, is uncertain. The availability of imports also tends to act as a practical ceiling on dairy prices in the United

States. Tariff-rate quotas are in place to prevent imports from flooding the market in the United States, but when United States prices relative to world prices are too high, imports of milk can lower prices, especially when supplies are limited. In the European Union, the dairy industry is governed by EU regulations, which currently provide for a milk quota system and direct payments to dairy farmers. The European Union has announced the abolition of the European milk quota system on April 1, 2015 and the impact that this change may have on milk prices is uncertain. The supply of milk may also be impacted by the attrition of lower-producing herds, disease, weather conditions and changes in feed and forage quality due to price or availability.

Natural Gas

Natural gas is used primarily for residential and commercial heating and in the production of electricity. Natural gas has also become an increasingly popular source of energy in the United States, both for consumers and industry. However, because natural gas can be used as a substitute for coal and oil in certain circumstances, the price of coal and oil influence the price of natural gas. The level of global industrial activity influences the demand for natural gas. The demand for natural gas has traditionally been cyclical, with higher demand during the winter months and lower demand during relatively warmer summer months. Seasonal temperatures in countries throughout the world can also heavily influence the demand for natural gas. The world’s supply of natural gas is concentrated in the former Soviet Union, the Middle East, Europe and Africa. In general, the supply of natural gas is based on competitive market forces. Inadequate supply at any one time leads to price increases, which signal to production companies the need to increase the supply of natural gas to the market. The ability of production companies to supply natural gas, however, is dependent on a number of factors. Factors that affect the short term supply of natural gas include the availability of skilled workers and equipment, permitting and well development, as well as weather and delivery disruptions (e.g., hurricanes, labor strikes and wars). In addition, production companies face more general barriers to their ability to increase the supply of natural gas, including access to land, the expansion of pipelines and the financial environment. These factors, which are not exhaustive, are interrelated and can have complex and unpredictable effects on the supply for, and the price of, natural gas.

New York Harbor No. 2 Heating Oil

The level of global industrial activity influences the demand for heating oil. In addition, the seasonal temperatures in countries throughout the world can heavily influence the demand for heating oil. Heating oil is generally used to fuel heat furnaces for commercial and residential buildings. Heating oil is derived from crude oil and as such, any factors that influence the supply of crude oil may also influence the supply of heating oil.

Palladium

The price of palladium has fluctuated widely over the past several years. Because the palladium supply is both limited and concentrated, any disruptions in the supply of palladium tend to have a disproportionate effect on the price of palladium. Key factors that may influence prices are the mining policies and production costs in the most important palladium-producing countries, in particular, Russia, South Africa, the United States and Canada (which together account for over 90% of production), the size and availability of palladium stockpiles, global supply and demand as well as the level of economic activity of the main consuming countries. Investments in exchange-traded notes and funds linked to the price of palladium may also have an impact on palladium prices. The possibility of large-scale distress sales of palladium in times of crisis may also have a short-term negative impact on the price of palladium. For example, the 2008 financial crisis resulted in significantly depressed prices of palladium largely due to sales from institutional investors such as hedge funds and pension funds. Palladium is used in a variety of industries, in particular the automotive industry. Demand for palladium from the automotive industry, which uses palladium in catalytic converters, accounts for more than 50% of the industrial use of palladium, and a decline in the global automotive industry may impact the price of palladium. Palladium is also used in the electronics, dental and jewelry industries.

Palm Oil

Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil used primarily in cooking, margarine production and as a component of processed foods. It is also increasingly used in biodiesel production. Palm oil is produced from the fruit of the oil palm by a process of fractionation. The price of palm oil is primarily affected by the global demand for and supply

of palm oil, but is also influenced from time to time by speculative actions and by currency exchange rates. In addition, prices for palm oil are affected by governmental programs and policies regarding agriculture, including cultivation of the oil palm, specifically, and trade, fiscal and monetary issues, more generally. Extrinsic factors also affect palm oil prices such as weather, crop yields, natural disasters, pestilence, technological developments in agriculture and palm oil refining, wars and political and civil upheavals. Substitution of other edible oils and other sources of biodiesel for palm oil could also adversely impact the price of palm oil. Malaysia is the world’s largest supplier of palm oil and several other Asian, Latin American and African countries are major producers.

Primary Nickel

Demand for nickel is significantly influenced by the level of global industrial economic activity. The stainless steel industrial sector is particularly important to demand for nickel given that the use of nickel in the manufacture of stainless steel accounts for a significant percentage of worldwide nickel demand. Growth in the production of stainless steel will therefore drive nickel demand. An additional, but highly volatile, component of demand is adjustments to inventory in response to changes in economic activity and/or pricing levels. There are substitutes for nickel in various applications. Their availability and price will also affect demand for nickel. Nickel supply is dominated by Canada and the Commonwealth of Independent States (the “CIS”). Exports from the CIS have increased in recent years. The supply of nickel is also affected by current and previous price levels, which will influence investment decisions in new mines and smelters.

Platinum

Since the platinum supply is very limited, any disruptions in platinum supply tend to have an exaggerated effect on the price of platinum. Key factors that may influence prices are the policies in or political stability of the most important producing countries, in particular, the Russian Federation and South Africa (which together account for over 90% of production), the size and availability of the Russian platinum stockpiles, as well as the economic situation of the main consuming countries. Platinum is used in a variety of industries and the automotive industry. Demand for platinum from the automotive industry, which uses platinum as a catalytic converter, accounts for approximately 80% of the industrial use of platinum. Platinum is also used in the chemical industry, the electronics industry and the dental industry. The primary non-industrial use of platinum is jewelry, which accounts for approximately 40% of the overall demand for platinum.

RBOB Gasoline

RBOB gasoline is the first nearby New York harbor reformulated gasoline blendstock for oxygen blending (“RBOB”) futures contract traded on the NYMEX in units of 42,000 gallons. The contract is based on delivery at petroleum products terminals in New York harbor. RBOB is a wholesale non-oxygenated blendstock traded in the New York Harbor barge market that is ready for the addition of 10% ethanol at the truck rack.

The level of demand for non-oxygenated gasoline is primarily influenced by the level of global industrial activity. In addition, the demand has seasonal variations, which occur during the “driving seasons” usually considered the summer months in North America and Europe. Further, as RBOB is derived from crude oil, the price of crude oil also influences the price of RBOB.

Crude oil in turn is influenced by global demand for and supply of crude oil, but is also influenced significantly from time to time by speculative actions. Demand for refined petroleum products by consumers, as well as the agricultural, manufacturing and transportation industries, affects the price of crude oil. Crude oil’s end-use as a refined product is often as transport fuel, industrial fuel and in-home heating fuel. Potential for substitution in most areas exists, although considerations including relative cost often limit substitution levels. Because the precursors of demand for petroleum products are linked to economic activity, demand will tend to reflect economic conditions. Demand is also influenced by government regulations, such as environmental or consumption policies. In addition to general economic activity and demand, prices for crude oil are affected by political events, labor activity and, in particular, direct government intervention (such as embargos) or supply disruptions in major oil producing regions of the world. Such events tend to affect oil prices worldwide, regardless of the location of the event. Supply for crude oil may increase or decrease depending on many factors. These include production decisions by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other crude oil producers. In the event of sudden

disruptions in the supplies of oil, such as those caused by war, natural events, accidents or acts of terrorism, prices of oil futures contracts could become extremely volatile and unpredictable. Also, sudden and dramatic changes in the futures market may occur, for example, upon a cessation of hostilities that may exist in countries producing oil, the introduction of new or previously withheld supplies into the market or the introduction of substitute products or commodities.

Rough Rice

Rough rice is the primary food staple for much of the world’s population and an important ingredient in many processed foods and beverages. Rice prices are primarily affected by weather and crop growing conditions generally and the global demand for, and supply of, rough rice, which is driven by global rice production, population growth and economic activity. In addition, prices for rice are affected by governmental and intergovernmental programs and policies regarding trade, agriculture and energy and, more generally, regarding fiscal and monetary issues. Global demand for by-products of rice, which are used for fuel, fertilizers and packing materials, also influences the price of rough rice.

Silver

Silver prices can fluctuate widely and may be affected by numerous factors. These include general economic trends, technical developments, substitution issues and regulation, as well as specific factors including industrial and jewelry demand, expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, the relative strength of the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of silver is generally quoted) and other currencies, interest rates, central bank sales, forward sales by producers, global or regional political or economic events, and production costs and disruptions in major silver producing countries such as the United Mexican States and the Republic of Peru, Australia and Canada. The supply of silver consists of a combination of new mine production and existing stocks of bullion and fabricated silver held by governments, public and private financial institutions, industrial organizations and private individuals. In addition, the price of silver has on occasion been subject to very rapid short-term changes due to speculative activities. From time-to-time, above-ground inventories of silver may also influence the market. The major end-uses for silver include industrial applications, jewelry, coins and medals, photography and silverware.

Soybeans - CBOT

Demand for soybeans is in part linked to the development of agricultural, industrial and energy uses for soybeans. In addition, prices for soybeans are affected by governmental programs and policies regarding agriculture and trade specifically, and trade, fiscal and monetary issues, more generally. Soybean prices are also affected by extrinsic factors such as weather, crop yields, natural disasters, pestilence, technological developments, wars and political and civil upheavals. Soy biodiesel, animal agriculture, vegetable oil, edible soybean oil and new industrial uses are examples of major areas that may impact worldwide soybean demand. In addition, substitution of other commodities for soybeans could also impact the price of soybeans. The supply of soybeans is particularly sensitive to weather patterns such as floods, drought and freezing conditions, planting decisions and the price of fuel, seeds and fertilizers. In addition, technological advances and scientific developments could lead to increases in worldwide production of soybeans and corresponding decreases in the price of soybeans. The United States, Argentina and Brazil are the three largest suppliers of soybean crops.

Soybean Meal - CBOT

Soybean meal (“soymeal”) is used primarily as an animal feed ingredient and therefore demand for soymeal is significantly influenced by the level of global livestock production. Soymeal production is dominated by the United States, China, Brazil, Argentina and India. Governmental programs and policies regarding agriculture, specifically, and trade, fiscal and monetary issues, more generally, in these countries could affect the supply and price of soymeal. Soymeal prices are also affected by factors such as weather, crop yields, natural disasters, pestilence, technological developments, wars and political and civil upheavals.

Sugar #11 (World) - NYBOT

Global prices for sugar are primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of sugar, but are also significantly influenced by governmental policy and international trade agreements, by speculative actions and by currency exchange rates. Sugar is used primarily as a human food sweetener, but is also used in the production of fuel ethanol. Global demand for sugar is influenced by the level of human consumption of sweetened food-stuffs and beverages and, to a lesser extent, by the level of demand for sugar as the basis for fuel ethanol. The world export supply of sugar is dominated by the European Union, Brazil, Guatemala, Cuba, Thailand and Australia, while other countries, including India, the United States, Canada and Russia produce significant amounts of sugar for domestic consumption. Governmental programs and policies regarding agriculture and energy, specifically, and trade, fiscal and monetary issues, more generally, in these countries and at a multinational level could affect the supply and price of sugar. Sugar prices are also affected by factors such as weather, disease and natural disasters.

Tin

Demand for tin is significantly influenced by the level of economic activity in the electrical and electronic industries. The solder market is particularly important given that the use of tin as a solder accounts for over half of worldwide tin demand. Tin is also used in tin-plates for food preservation and for making windows. The vast majority of tin production occurs in China, Indonesia and Peru. The supply of tin is affected by political events, including illegal production in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and by current and previous price levels which may influence important decisions about new mines.

Wheat - CBOT

Wheat prices are primarily affected by weather and crop growing conditions generally and the global demand for and supply of grain, which are driven by global grain production, population growth and economic activity. Demand for wheat is in part linked to the development of agricultural, industrial and energy uses for wheat including the use of wheat for the production of animal feed and bioethanol, which may have a major impact on worldwide demand for wheat. In addition, prices for wheat are affected by governmental and intergovernmental programs and policies regarding trade, agriculture, and energy and, more generally, regarding fiscal and monetary issues. Wheat prices may also be influenced by or dependent on retail prices, social trends, lifestyle changes and market power. Substitution of other commodities for wheat could also impact the price of wheat. The supply of wheat is particularly sensitive to weather patterns such as floods, drought and freezing conditions, planting decisions, the price of fuel, seeds and fertilizers and the current and previous price of wheat. In addition, technological advances and scientific developments could lead to increases in worldwide production of wheat and corresponding decreases in the price of wheat. Extrinsic factors affecting wheat prices include natural disasters, pestilence, wars and political and civil upheavals. China, India and the United States are the three largest suppliers of wheat crops.

West Texas Intermediate Light Sweet Crude Oil

Demand for refined petroleum products by consumers, as well as by the agricultural, manufacturing and transportation industries, affects the price of crude oil. Crude oil’s end-use as a refined product is often as transport fuel, industrial fuel and in-home heating fuel. Potential for substitution in most areas exists, although considerations including relative cost often limit substitution levels. Because the precursors of demand for petroleum products are linked to economic activity, demand will tend to reflect economic conditions. Demand is also influenced by government regulations, such as environmental or consumption policies. In addition to general economic activity and demand, prices for crude oil are affected by political events, labor activity and, in particular, direct government intervention (such as embargos) or supply disruptions in major oil producing regions of the world. Such events tend to affect oil prices worldwide, regardless of the location of the event. Supply for crude oil may increase or decrease depending on many factors. These include production decisions by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other crude oil producers. In the event of sudden disruptions in the supplies of oil, such as those caused by war, natural events, accidents or acts of terrorism, prices of oil futures contracts could become extremely volatile and unpredictable. Also, sudden and dramatic changes in the futures market may occur, for example, upon a cessation of hostilities that may exist in countries producing oil, the introduction of new or previously withheld supplies into the market or the introduction of substitute products or commodities. West Texas Intermediate light

sweet crude oil is also subject to the risk that it has demonstrated a lack of correlation with world crude oil prices due to structural differences between the U.S. market for crude oil and the international market for crude oil. As a result, the price of West Texas Intermediate light sweet crude oil may be more volatile than world crude oil prices generally.

Special High-Grade Zinc

Demand for zinc is significantly influenced by the level of global industrial economic activity. The galvanized steel industrial sector is particularly important to demand for zinc given that the use of zinc in the manufacture of galvanized steel accounts for a significant percentage of worldwide zinc demand. The galvanized steel sector is in turn heavily dependent on the automobile and construction sectors. Growth in the production of galvanized steel will drive zinc demand. An additional, but highly volatile, component of demand is adjustments to inventory in response to changes in economic activity and/or pricing levels. The supply of zinc concentrate (the raw material) is dominated by Australia, North America and Latin America. The supply of zinc is also affected by current and previous price levels, which will influence investment decisions in new mines and smelters.

The S&P GSCI™ Gold Index - Excess Return is composed entirely of gold futures contracts included in the S&P GSCI™-ER. The commodity markets, including the gold markets, are generally subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including the lack of liquidity in the markets, the participation of speculators, and government regulation and intervention. Gold prices are subject to volatile price movements over short periods of time and are affected by numerous factors. These include economic factors, including, among other things, the structure of and confidence in the global monetary system, expectations of the future rate of inflation, the relative strength of, and confidence in, the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of gold is generally quoted), interest rates and gold borrowing and lending rates, and global or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events. Gold prices may also be affected by industry factors such as industrial and jewelry demand, lending, sales and purchases of gold by the official sector, including central banks and other governmental agencies and multilateral institutions which hold gold, levels of gold production and production costs and short-term changes in supply and demand because of trading activities in the gold market.

The S&P GSCI™ Grains Index - Excess Return

The S&P GSCI™ Grains Index - Excess Return is composed entirely of futures contracts included in the S&P GSCI™-ER, on four different grain commodities; corn, soybeans, Chicago wheat and Kansas wheat. Chicago wheat and Kansas wheat are each wheat futures contracts traded on the Chicago Board of Trade and the Kansas City Board of Trade respectively. Grain prices are primarily affected by weather and crop growing conditions generally and the global demand for and supply of grain, which are driven by global grain production, population growth and economic activity. In addition, prices for grain are affected by governmental and intergovernmental programs and policies regarding trade, agriculture, and energy, specifically and fiscal and monetary issues, more generally. Alternative uses for grains such as energy sources or in manufacturing also drive the prices for grains. Such

alternative uses may be dependent on governmental action, such as subsidies or tariffs and technological innovation. Grain prices are also affected by natural disasters, pestilence, scientific developments, wars and political and civil upheavals. Substitution of other commodities for grain could also impact the price of grain and therefore the performance of the S&P GSCI™ Grains Index - Excess Return.

The S&P GSCI™ Industrial Metals Index - Excess Return

The S&P GSCI™ Industrial Metals Index - Excess Return is a production weighted index of principal industrial metal physical commodities and currently includes aluminum, copper, lead, nickel and zinc. It is designed to be a measure of the performance over time of the markets for these commodities and is composed of industrial metals futures contracts traded on regulated futures exchanges. Industrial metals commodity prices are primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of these metals, but are also influenced significantly from time to time by speculative actions and by currency exchange rates. Demand for industrial metals is significantly influenced by the level of global industrial economic activity, by adjustments to inventory in response to changes in economic activity and/or pricing levels, and by the availability of substitutes in various applications. In recent years, industrialization in the developing world has driven up demand of industrial metals and their prices reached record levels in 2006. Depending on the application, there may be substitutes for the industrial metals. Low prices for metals such as nickel and zinc in the early 1990s tended to discourage such investments.

The S&P GSCI™ Light Energy Index - Excess Return

The S&P GSCI™-ER is a world production-weighted index that is designed to reflect the relative significance of each of its underlying commodities in the world economy. This feature of the S&P GSCI™-ER facilitates the use of the S&P GSCI™-ER as a benchmark for changes in certain economic factors, such as inflation. The S&P GSCI™ Light Energy Index - Excess Return, in contrast, is calculated by reducing the weight of each energy-related commodity included in the S&P GSCI™-ER to a level that is 1/4 of its weight in the S&P GSCI™-ER, with the remaining portion of each commodity’s weight allocated to the other commodities in the S&P GSCI™-ER on a pro rata basis. As a result, the S&P GSCI™ Light Energy Index - Excess Return is not based on the relative world production levels of each of these commodities and might not serve as a benchmark for changes in inflation or other economic factor. In particular, because of the significance of energy-related commodities to the world economy, a significant reduction in the weights of these commodities in the S&P GSCI™ Light Energy Index - Excess Return will substantially limit the effect of changes in energy prices on the S&P GSCI™ Light Energy Index - Excess Return. Increases in the prices of energy commodities, therefore, will not increase the level of the S&P GSCI™ Light Energy Index - Excess Return to the same extent as the S&P GSCI™-ER.

The S&P GSCI™ Livestock Index - Excess Return

The S&P GSCI™ Livestock Index - Excess Return is a sub-index of the S&P GSCI™-ER and represents only the livestock components of the S&P GSCI™-ER. The S&P GSCI™ Livestock Index - Excess Return is a global production weighted index of certain livestock commodities in the world economy and currently include live cattle, feeder cattle and lean hogs. Global livestock commodity prices are primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of those commodities, but is also significantly influenced by speculative actions and by currency exchange rates. In addition, prices for livestock commodities are affected by governmental programs and policies regarding food safety and livestock, specifically, and trade, fiscal and monetary issues, more generally. Extrinsic factors also affect livestock commodity prices such as weather, disease and natural disasters. Demand for livestock commodities has generally increased with worldwide growth and prosperity.

The S&P GSCI™ Precious Metals Index - Excess Return

The S&P GSCI™ Precious Metals Index - Excess Return is a sub-index of the S&P GSCI™-ER and represents only the gold and silver components of the S&P GSCI™-ER. The S&P GSCI™ Precious Metals Index - Excess Return is an index of principal precious metal physical commodities and currently includes gold and silver. Global precious metals commodity prices are primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of those commodities, but are also significantly influenced by speculative actions and by currency exchange rates. Gold and silver prices can fluctuate widely. Gold prices are affected by numerous factors, including macroeconomic factors, industry

factors and by levels of gold production, production costs and short-term changes in supply and demand due to trading activities in the gold market. Silver prices also may be affected by numerous factors including general economic trends, technical developments, substitution issues and regulation, as well as other factors.

The S&P GSCI™ Sugar Index - Excess Return

The S&P GSCI™ Sugar Index - Excess Return is composed entirely of sugar futures contracts included in the S&P GSCI™-ER. The commodity markets, including the sugar markets, are generally subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including the lack of liquidity in the markets, the participation of speculators and government regulation and intervention. Global prices for sugar are primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of sugar, but are also significantly influenced by governmental policy and international trade agreements, by speculative actions and by currency exchange rates. Sugar is used primarily as a human food sweetener, but is also used in the production of fuel ethanol. Global demand for sugar is influenced by level of human consumption of sweetened food-stuffs and beverages and to a lesser extent, by the level of demand for sugar as the basis for fuel ethanol. The world export supply of sugar is dominated by the European Union, Brazil, Guatemala, Cuba, Thailand and Australia, while other countries, including India, the United States, Canada and Russia produce significant amounts of sugar for domestic consumption. Governmental programs and policies regarding agriculture and energy, specifically, and trade, fiscal and monetary issues, more generally, in these countries and at a multinational level could affect the supply and price of sugar. Extrinsic factors also affect sugar prices such as weather, disease and natural disasters.

The S&P GSCI™ Wheat Index - Excess Return

The S&P GSCI™ Wheat Index–Excess Return is composed of CBOT wheat futures contracts included in the S&P GSCI™–ER. Factors relating to the value of the wheat futures contracts and the underlying price of wheat will affect the level of the wheat index. Wheat is a grain commodity and grain prices are primarily affected by weather and crop growing conditions generally and the global demand for and supply of grain, which are driven by global grain production, population growth and economic activity. In addition, prices for grain are affected by governmental and intergovernmental programs and policies regarding trade, agriculture, including grains, and energy specifically and fiscal and monetary issues, more generally. Alternative uses for grains such as energy sources or in manufacturing also drive the prices for grains. Such alternative uses may be dependent on governmental action, such as subsidies or tariffs and technological innovation. Extrinsic factors also affect grain prices such as natural disasters, pestilence, scientific developments, wars and political and civil upheavals. Substitution of other commodities for grain could also impact the price of grain. In addition, changes to the terms of the wheat futures contracts may affect the level of the wheat index and there have been recent reports that these futures contract may be modified in an attempt to narrow the observed divergence between the value of the futures contract nearing expiration and the then-current spot cash price for wheat at that time. Any changes to the terms of the wheat futures contract could have a negative effect on the value of the wheat index.

The S&P GSCI™ - ER may in the future include contracts that are not traded on regulated futures exchanges

The S&P GSCI™-ER, from which the other indexes described above are derived, was originally based solely on futures contracts traded on regulated futures exchanges (referred to in the United States as “designated contract markets”). At present, the S&P GSCI™-ER continues to be comprised exclusively of regulated futures contracts. As described below, however, the S&P GSCI™-ER may in the future include over-the-counter contracts (such as swaps and forward contracts) traded on trading facilities that are subject to lesser degrees of regulation or, in some cases, no substantive regulation. As a result, trading in such contracts, and the manner in which prices and volumes are reported by the relevant trading facilities, may not be subject to the same provisions of, and the protections afforded by, the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended, or other applicable statutes and related regulations, that govern trading on regulated futures exchanges. In addition, many electronic trading facilities have only recently initiated trading and do not have significant trading histories. As a result, the trading of contracts on such facilities and the inclusion of such contracts in the S&P GSCI™-ER may be subject to certain risks not presented by most exchange-traded futures contracts, including risks related to the liquidity and price histories of the relevant contracts.

Higher future prices of S&P GSCI™ - ER commodities relative to their current prices may decrease the amount payable at maturity

The S&P GSCI™-ER is composed of futures contracts on physical commodities. Unlike equities, which typically entitle the holder to a continuing stake in a corporation, commodity futures contracts normally specify a certain date for delivery of the underlying physical commodity. As the futures contracts that comprise the S&P GSCI™-ER approach expiration, they are replaced by contracts that have a later expiration. Thus, for example, a contract purchased and held in August may specify an October expiration. As time passes, the contract expiring in October is replaced by a contract for delivery in November. This process is referred to as “rolling.” If the market for these contracts is (putting aside other considerations) in “backwardation,” where the prices are lower in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months, the sale of the October contract would take place at a price that is higher than the price of the November contract, thereby creating a “roll yield.” While many of the contracts included in the S&P GSCI™-ER have historically exhibited consistent periods of backwardation, backwardation will most likely not exist at all times. Moreover certain of the commodities included in the index have historically traded in “contango” markets. Contango markets are those in which the prices of contracts are higher in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months. The absence of backwardation in the commodity markets could result in negative “roll yields,” which could adversely affect the value of the indexes described above and, accordingly, decrease the payment you receive at maturity, if any.

Annex II

Certain Additional Commodity Index Information

The Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM

The Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM is currently composed of 23 exchange-traded futures contracts on 21 physical commodities, and reflects the return of underlying commodity futures price movements only. It is quoted in U.S. dollars and appears on Reuters Page “BCOM.”

We have derived all information contained in this prospectus supplement regarding the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, Bloomberg Finance L.P. (“Bloomberg”) and UBS Securities LLC (“UBS”).

The Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM reflects the returns that are potentially available through an unleveraged investment in the futures contracts on physical commodities comprising the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM. The value of the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM is computed on the basis of hypothetical investments in the basket of commodities that make up the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM.

Overview

The Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM was introduced in July 1998 to provide a unique, diversified and liquid benchmark for commodities as an asset class. The Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM currently is composed of the prices of 23 exchange-traded futures contracts on 21 physical commodities. An exchange-traded futures contract is a bilateral agreement providing for the purchase and sale of a specified type and quantity of a commodity or financial instrument during a stated delivery month for a fixed price. The commodities included in the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM for 2020 are: aluminum, coffee, copper, corn, cotton, crude oil (WTI and Brent), gold, lean hogs, live cattle, low sulphur gas oil, natural gas, nickel, RBOB gasoline, silver, soybean meal, soybean oil, soybeans, sugar, wheat (Chicago and KC HRW), ULS diesel and zinc. Futures contracts on the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM are currently listed for trading on the Chicago Board of Trade (“CBOT”).

The Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM is a proprietary index that Bloomberg calculates. The methodology for determining the composition and weighting of the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM and for calculating its value is subject to modification by Bloomberg at any time.

On July 1, 2014, Bloomberg became responsible for the governance, calculation, distribution and licensing of the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM. The Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM was renamed from the Dow Jones–UBS Commodity Index^SM to the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM and the ticker changed from “DJUBS” to “BCOM.” UBS has maintained its ownership, but will have no role in any aspect of index governance or calculation. Currently, Bloomberg does not expect to make any material alteration to the calculation methodology of the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM.

The Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM Oversight Committee

The Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) assists Bloomberg in connection with the operation of the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM. The Committee includes senior representatives from various Bloomberg business units. Questions and issues relating to the application and interpretation of the index methodology and calculations during periods of extraordinary circumstances in particular will be resolved or determined by the Committee, unless circumstances do not permit convening of a meeting of the Committee for its decision. In such circumstances, any such questions and calculations will be resolved or determined by Bloomberg in consultation, if practicable, with UBS.

Additionally, an external index advisory committee will convene to provide Blomberg with guidance and feedback from the investment community on index products and processes.

As described in more detail below, the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM is reweighted and rebalanced each year in January on a price-percentage basis. The annual weightings for the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM are determined each year in June by Bloomberg. Following the Committee’s annual meeting in June or July, the annual weightings are publicly announced in July.

Composition of the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM

Commodities Available For Inclusion in the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM

With the exception of several metals contracts (aluminum, lead, tin, nickel and zinc) that trade on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”), each of the commodities with the potential for inclusion in the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM is the subject of a futures contract that trades on a U.S. exchange.

The 25 potential commodities currently are aluminum, cocoa, coffee, copper, corn, cotton, crude oil (WTI and Brent), gold, lead, lean hogs, live cattle, low sulphur gas oil, natural gas, nickel, platinum, RBOB gasoline, silver, soybean meal, soybean oil, soybeans, sugar, tin, ULS diesel, wheat (Chicago and KC HRW) and zinc.

The 21 commodities underlying the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM selected for 2020 are as follows: aluminum, coffee, copper, corn, cotton, crude oil (WTI and Brent), gold, lean hogs, live cattle, low sulphur gas oil, natural gas, nickel, RBOB gasoline, silver, soybean meal, soybean oil, soybeans, sugar, wheat (Chicago and KC HRW), ULS diesel and zinc.

Designated Contracts for Each Commodity

A futures contract known as a Designated Contract is selected for each commodity. With the exception of several LME contracts, where the Committee believes that there exists more than one futures contract with sufficient liquidity to be chosen as a Designated Contract for a commodity, the Committee selects the futures contract that is traded in North America and denominated in dollars. If more than one such contract exists, the Committee selects the most actively traded contract. Data concerning this Designated Contract will be used to calculate the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM. The termination or replacement of a futures contract on an established exchange occurs infrequently; if a Designated Contract were to be terminated or replaced, a comparable futures contract would be selected, if available, to replace that Designated Contract.

The composition of the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM is recalculated by Bloomberg in June of each year, under the supervision of the Committee, taking in account the relative liquidity and production percentages for each commodity designated for potential inclusion in the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM.

Commodity Groups

For purposes of applying the diversification rules discussed above and below, the commodities available for inclusion in the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM are assigned to “Commodity Groups.” The Commodity Groups, and the commodities currently included in each Commodity Group, are as follows:

Annual Reweightings and Rebalancings of the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM

The Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM is reweighted and rebalanced each year in January on a price-percentage basis. The annual weightings for the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM are determined each year in June by AIG-FP under the supervision of the Committee, announced in July and implemented the following January.

Determination of Relative Weightings

The relative weightings of the component commodities included in the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM are determined annually according to both liquidity and dollar-adjusted production data in 2/3 and 1/3 shares, respectively. Each June, for each commodity designated for potential inclusion in the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM, liquidity is measured by the Commodity Liquidity Percentage (“CLP”) and production by the Commodity Production Percentage (“CPP”). The CLP for each commodity is determined by taking a five-year average of the product of trading volume and the historic dollar value of the Designated Contract for that commodity, and dividing the result by the sum of such products for all commodities which were designated for potential inclusion in the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM. The CPP is determined for each commodity by taking a five-year average of annual world production figures, adjusted by the historic dollar value of the Designated Contract, and dividing the result by the sum of such production figures for all the commodities which were designated for potential inclusion in the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM. The CLP and the CPP are then combined (using a ratio of 2:1) to establish the Commodity Index Percentage (“CIP”) for each commodity. This CIP is then adjusted in accordance with certain diversification rules in order to determine the commodities which will be included in the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM (the “Index Commodities”) and their respective percentage weights.

The Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM is designed to provide diversified exposure to commodities as an asset class. To ensure that no single commodity or commodity sector dominates the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM, the following diversification rules are applied to the annual reweighting and rebalancing of the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM as of January of the applicable year:

Following the annual reweighting and rebalancing of the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM in January, the percentage of any single commodity or group of commodities at any time prior to the next reweighting or rebalancing will fluctuate and may exceed or be less than the percentages set forth above.

Commodity Index Multipliers

Following application of the diversification rules discussed above, CIPs are incorporated into the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM by calculating the new unit weights for each Index Commodity. Towards the beginning of each new calendar year (the “CIM Determination Date”), the CIPs, along with the settlement values on that date for Designated Contracts included in the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM, are used to determine a “Commodity Index Multiplier” or “CIM” for each Index Commodity. This CIM is used to achieve the percentage weightings of the Index Commodities, in dollar terms, indicated by their respective CIPs. After the CIMs are calculated, they remain fixed throughout the year. As a result, the observed price percentage of each Index Commodity will float throughout the year, until the CIMs are reset the following year based on new CIPs.

Calculations

The Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM is calculated by Bloomberg by applying the impact of the changes to the futures prices of commodities included in the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM (based on their relative weightings). Once the CIMs are determined as discussed above, the calculation of the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM is a mathematical process whereby the CIMs for the Index Commodities are multiplied by the prices in U.S. dollars for the applicable Designated Contracts. These products are then summed. The percentage change in this sum is then applied to the prior Index value to calculate the current Index value.

The Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM is a Rolling Index

The Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM is composed of futures contracts on physical commodities. Unlike equities, which typically entitle the holder to a continuing stake in a corporation, commodity futures contracts normally specify a certain date for the delivery of the underlying physical commodity. In order to avoid delivering the underlying physical commodities and to maintain exposure to the underlying physical commodities, periodically futures contracts on physical commodities specifying delivery on a nearby date must be sold and futures contracts on physical commodities that have not yet reached the delivery period must be purchased. The rollover for each contract occurs over a period of five Index Business Days each month according to a pre-determined schedule. This process is known as “rolling” a futures position. The Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM is, therefore, a “rolling index.”

Index Calculation Events

From time to time, disruptions can occur in trading futures contracts on various commodity exchanges. The daily calculation of the Bloomberg Commodity Index^SM will be adjusted in the event that Bloomberg determines that any of the following index calculation exists:

The S&P GSCI™ - ER

We have derived all information regarding the S&P GSCI™-ER contained in this prospectus supplement, including, without limitation, its make-up and method of calculation from publicly available information. The S&P GSCI™-ER is calculated, maintained and published daily, by Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill

Companies, Inc., which we refer to as “S&P.” The S&P GSCI™-ER is a world production-weighted index that is designed to reflect the relative significance of each of its underlying commodities in the world economy. The S&P GSCI™-ER was established in May 1991 and represents the return of a portfolio of commodity futures contracts included in the S&P GSCI™, the composition of which, on any given day, reflects the contract production weights (referred to as “CPWs”) and “roll weights” of the contracts included in the S&P GSCI™ (discussed below).

On July 2, 2012, The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“McGraw-Hill”), the owner of the S&P Indices business, and CME Group Inc. (“CME Group”), the 90% owner of the CME Group and Dow Jones & Company, Inc. joint venture that owns the Dow Jones Indexes business, launched a new joint venture, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC, which owns the S&P Indices business and the Dow Jones Indexes business, including the S&P GSCI™ Indices.

Value of the S&P GSCI™ - ER

The value of the S&P GSCI™-ER on any given day is equal to the product of (i) the value of the S&P GSCI™-ER on the immediately preceding day multiplied by (ii) one plus the contract daily return on the day on which the calculation is made. The value of the S&P GSCI™-ER is indexed to a normalized value of 100 on January 2, 1970.

Contract Daily Return

The contract daily return on any given day is equal to the sum, for each of the commodities included in the S&P GSCI™, of the applicable daily contract reference price on the relevant contract multiplied by the appropriate CPW and the appropriate “roll weight,” divided by the total dollar weight of the S&P GSCI™ on the preceding day, minus one.

The total dollar weight of the S&P GSCI™ is the sum of the dollar weight of each of its underlying commodities. The dollar weight of each such commodity on any given day is equal to (i) the daily contract reference price, (ii) multiplied by the appropriate CPWs and (iii) during a roll period, the appropriate “roll weights” (discussed below).

The daily contract reference price used in calculating the dollar weight of each commodity on any given day is the most recent daily contract reference price made available by the relevant trading facility, except that the daily contract reference price for the most recent prior day will be used if the exchange is closed or otherwise fails to publish a daily contract reference price on that day. In addition, if the trading facility fails to make a daily contract reference price available or publishes a daily contract reference price that, in the reasonable judgment of S&P, reflects manifest error, the relevant calculation will be delayed until the price is made available or corrected; provided that, if the price is not made available or corrected by 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, S&P may, if it deems such action to be appropriate under the circumstances, determine the appropriate daily contract reference price for the applicable futures contract in its reasonable judgment for purposes of the relevant S&P GSCI™ calculation.

The “roll weight” of each commodity reflects the fact that the positions in contracts must be liquidated or rolled forward into more distant contract expirations as they approach expiration. Since the S&P GSCI™ is designed to replicate the performance of actual investments in the underlying contracts, the rolling process incorporated in the S&P GSCI™ also takes place over a period of days at the beginning of each month (referred to as the “roll period”). On each day of the roll period, the “roll weights” of the first nearby contract expirations on a particular commodity and the more distant contract expiration into which it is rolled are adjusted, so that the hypothetical position in the contract on the commodity that is included in the S&P GSCI™ is gradually shifted from the first nearby contract expiration to the more distant contract expiration.

If any of the following conditions exists on any day during a roll period, the portion of the roll that would have taken place on that day is deferred until the next day on which such conditions do not exist: (i) no daily contract reference price is available for a given contract expiration; (ii) any such price represents the maximum or minimum price for such contract month, based on exchange price limits; (iii) the daily contract reference price published by the relevant trading facility reflects manifest error, or such price is not published by 4:00 P.M., Eastern time (in such event, S&P may determine a daily contract reference price and complete the relevant portion of the roll based on such price, but must revise the portion of the roll if the trading facility publishes a price before the opening of trading on the next day); or (iv) trading in the relevant contract terminates prior to its scheduled closing time.

If any of these conditions exist throughout the roll period, the roll will be effected in its entirety on the next day on which such conditions no longer exist.

The S&P GSCI™

We have derived all information regarding the S&P GSCI™ contained in this prospectus supplement, including, without limitation, its make-up and method of calculation from publicly available information. The S&P GSCI™ is calculated, maintained and published daily by S&P. The S&P GSCI™ is an index on a production-weighted basket of principal non-financial commodities (i.e., physical commodities) that satisfy specified criteria. The S&P GSCI™ is designed to be a measure of the performance over time of the markets for these commodities. The only commodities represented in the S&P GSCI™ are those physical commodities on which active and liquid contracts are traded on trading facilities in major industrialized countries. The commodities included in the S&P GSCI™ are weighted, on a production basis, to reflect the relative significance (in the view of S&P, in consultation with the Index Committee and the Commodity Index Advisory Panel, as described below) of such commodities to the world economy. The fluctuations in the value of the S&P GSCI™ are intended generally to correlate with changes in the prices of such physical commodities in global markets. The S&P GSCI™ was established in 1991 and has been normalized such that its hypothetical level on January 2, 1970 was 100. Futures contracts on the S&P GSCI™, and options on such futures contracts, are currently listed for trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

Set forth below is a summary of the composition of and the methodology currently used to calculate the S&P GSCI™. The methodology for determining the composition and weighting of the S&P GSCI™ and for calculating its value is subject to modification in a manner consistent with the purposes of the S&P GSCI™, as described below. S&P makes the official calculations of the S&P GSCI™.

The Index Committee established by S&P to assist it in connection with the operation of the S&P GSCI™ generally meets once each year to discuss the composition of the S&P GSCI™. The Commodity Index Advisory Panel has an advisory role and cannot bind the Index Committee to any changes. The Commodity Index Advisory Panel meets at least annually to discuss market developments and potential changes to the S&P GSCI™.

On July 2, 2012, The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“McGraw-Hill”), the owner of the S&P Indices business, and CME Group Inc. (“CME Group”), the 90% owner of the CME Group and Dow Jones & Company, Inc. joint venture that owns the Dow Jones Indexes business, launched a new joint venture, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC, which owns the S&P Indices business and the Dow Jones Indexes business, including the S&P GSCI™ Indices.

Composition of the S&P GSCI™

In order to be included in the S&P GSCI™ a contract must satisfy the following eligibility criteria:

The contracts currently included in the S&P GSCI™ are all futures contracts traded on the NYMEX, the ICE Futures, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the Chicago Board of Trade, the Coffee, Sugar & Cocoa Exchange, Inc., the New York Cotton Exchange, the Kansas City Board of Trade, the Commodities Exchange, Inc. and the LME.

Calculation of the S&P GSCI™

The value of the S&P GSCI™ on any given day is equal to the total dollar weight of the S&P GSCI™ divided by a normalizing constant that assures the continuity of the S&P GSCI™ over time.

Real-time Calculation of the S&P GSCI™

S&P generally calculates intraday index calculations using real-time exchange traded prices. S&P does not calculate with each traded price, but rather calculates on a pre-determined fixed interval (e.g. every 5 seconds). At each fixed interval, the S&P GSCI™ is computed with the latest real-time pricing for each component included in the S&P GSCI™. If a new price is not available since the last real-time calculation, the calculation will use the last available traded price provided by the exchange. In the absence of a real-time traded price for a given component, the calculation will use the prior day’s closing price.

S&P also maintains price thresholds for real-time components and indices to prevent unusually large price movements or incorrect price adjustments from adversely impacting index calculations.

In the event there is a disruption in intraday calculations, S&P will not recalculate the impacted period.

Contract Expirations

Because the S&P GSCI™ is composed of actively traded contracts with scheduled expirations, it can only be calculated by reference to the prices of contracts for specified expiration, delivery or settlement periods, referred to as “contract expirations.” The contract expirations included in the S&P GSCI™ for each commodity during a given year are designated by S&P, provided that each such contract must be an “active contract.” An “active contract” for this purpose is a liquid, actively traded contract expiration, as defined or identified by the relevant trading facility or,

if no such definition or identification is provided by the relevant trading facility, as defined by standard custom and practice in the industry.

If a trading facility deletes one or more contract expirations, the S&P GSCI™ will be calculated during the remainder of the year in which such deletion occurs on the basis of the remaining contract expirations designated by S&P. If a trading facility ceases trading in all contract expirations relating to a particular contract, S&P may designate a replacement contract on the commodity. The replacement contract must satisfy the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the S&P GSCI™. To the extent practicable, the replacement will be effected during the next monthly review of the composition of the S&P GSCI™.
