ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY.Cyber threats are considered one of the most significant risks facing financial institutions.  Because the Trust has no directors, principal officers or employees, the Sponsor is responsible for managing cybersecurity risks to the Fund.  To mitigate risk from cyber threats, Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”), the Sponsor’s parent company, has a designated Global Chief Security Officer (GCSO) who leads the global security department that is responsible for identifying, assessing, and managing cybersecurity threats across the Invesco organization. The GCSO has over 28 years of experience in the public and private sectors, specializing in security, investigations, and incident response. The global security department oversees the following groups across Invesco: Information Security, Global Privacy, Business Continuity & Crisis Management, Resilience, Corporate Security, Business Security Officers and Strategy and Projects & Governance. This converged security structure supports a more comprehensive, holistic approach to keeping our and Invesco clients, employees, and critical assets safe, upholding their privacy rights, while enabling a secure and resilient business.  Invesco’s information security program is led by its Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) who reports directly to the GCSO and has over 25 years of experience, specializing in information security and risk management.
