PARIS - Amundi Physical Metals plc has announced the issuance of 388,000 new ETC Securities, which marks Tranche 626 under its Secured Precious Metal Linked ETC Securities Programme. This addition brings the total number of ETC Securities within the Amundi Physical Gold ETC series to 49,141,155.
The ETC Securities aim to provide investors with exposure to gold prices without the need for physical delivery. Each ETC Security is linked to a specific weight in gold, known as the Metal Entitlement. The initial Metal Entitlement per ETC Security was set at 0.04 fine troy ounces at the Series Issue Date on May 23, 2019. Over time, the Metal Entitlement decreases to cover operational expenses at an annual rate of 0.12%.
The Issue Date for this tranche is set for Monday, reflecting a scheduled maturity date far into the future, May 23, 2118. The ETC Securities have been designed for investors looking for an alternative to direct investment in gold, allowing participation in the gold market through the securities market.
Applications have been made for these ETC Securities to be admitted to trading on regulated markets including Euronext (EPA:ENX) Paris and Amsterdam, Deutsche Börse, Borsa Italiana, and the London Stock Exchange (LON:LSEG). Additionally, admission to trading on the International Quotation System of the Mexican Stock Exchange has also been sought.
The ETC Securities are secured, limited recourse obligations of the issuer, and the obligations of the issuer in respect of a series are secured by the Secured Property. The security over the Secured Property in respect of a series will become enforceable if payment of the Final Redemption Amount or Early Redemption Amount, as applicable, is not made in full when due.
Investors should note that this information is based on a press release statement and that investing in ETC Securities involves risks, including market price fluctuations of the underlying metal and creditworthiness of transaction parties. The ETC Securities do not entitle investors to ownership of the actual metal, and any early or final redemption will be settled in cash.
