 amount of interest earned by the Trust has not exceeded the Trust’s expenses; accordingly, the Trustee has been required to withdraw Japanese Yen from the Trust to pay these excess expenses. As long as the amount of interest earned does not exceed expenses, the amount of Japanese Yen represented by each Share will gradually decline over time. This is true even if additional Shares are issued in exchange for additional deposits of Japanese Yen into the Trust, as the amount of Japanese Yen required to create Shares will proportionately reflect the amount of Japanese Yen represented by the Shares outstanding at the time of creation. Assuming a constant Japanese Yen price, if expenses exceed interest earned, the trading price of the Shares will gradually decline relative to the price of the Japanese Yen as the amount of Japanese Yen represented by the Shares gradually declines. In this event, the Shares will only maintain their original price if the price of the Japanese Yen increases. There is no guarantee that interest earned by the Trust in the future will exceed the Trust’s expenses. 

Investors should be aware that a gradual decline in the amount of Japanese Yen represented by the Shares may occur regardless of whether the trading price of the Shares rises or falls in response to changes in the price of the Japanese Yen. The estimated ordinary operating expenses of the Trust, which accrue daily, are described in “Business — The Trust —Trust Expenses.” 

The payment of expenses by the Trust will result in a taxable event to Shareholders. To the extent Trust expenses exceed interest paid to the Trust, a gain or loss may be recognized by Shareholders depending on the tax basis of the tendered Japanese Yen. 

The interest rate paid by the Depository, if any, may not be the best rate available. If the Sponsor determines that the interest rate is inadequate, then its sole recourse is to remove the Depository and terminate the Deposit Accounts. 

The Depository is committed to endeavor to pay a competitive interest rate on the balance of Japanese Yen in the primary deposit account of the Trust, but there is no guarantee of the amount of interest that will be paid, if any, on this account. Interest on the primary deposit account, if any, accrues daily and is paid monthly. The Depository may change the rate at which interest accrues, including reducing the interest rate to zero or below zero, based upon changes in market conditions or the Depository’s liquidity needs. The Depository notifies the Sponsor of the interest rate applied each business day after the close of such business day
