The Claymore ETF is a trust established by Claymore Investments, Inc. ("Claymore" or the “Manager”). The investment objective of the Claymore ETF is to maximize current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity by investing in high-quality, short-term (generally less than 90 days) debt securities, including treasury bills and promissory notes issued or guaranteed by Canadian governments or their agencies, bankers acceptances, and commercial paper (excluding asset-backed commercial paper) issued by Canadian chartered banks, loan companies, trust companies and corporations.

Chief Financial Officer & Director: Bruce Albelda

Secretary & Director: Nicholas Dalmaso

Fiscal Year End: December 31

Incorporation: The Claymore ETF was established under the laws of the Province of Ontario pursuant to a master declaration of trust dated February 15, 2006 as amended and restated from time to time.

Nature of Business: The Claymore ETF’s investment objective is to maximize current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity by investing in high-quality, short-term (generally less than 90 days) debt securities, including treasury bills and promissory notes issued or guaranteed by Canadian governments or their agencies, bankers acceptances, and commercial paper (excluding asset-backed commercial paper) issued by Canadian chartered banks, loan companies, trust companies and corporations.

Common and Advisor Class: The only difference between Common Units (CMR) and Advisor Class Units (CMR.A) is the service fee component of the management fees payable by the Claymore ETF in respect of the Units of each class. The Claymore ETF will pay the Manager a monthly management fee based on one-twelfth of the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Claymore ETF at month end plus, in respect of the Advisor Class Units, an additional amount based on one quarter of the NAV per Advisor Class Unit of the Claymore ETF at the end of each calendar quarter, plus applicable taxes. The monthly management fee will be paid monthly in arrears and the additional amount will be paid quarterly at the end of each calendar quarter. The annual management fee is 0.25% of NAV of the Claymore ETF and the additional amount applicable to Advisor Class Units is 0.25% of NAV per Advisor Class Unit (total 0.50%).

Distributions: Cash distributions on Units of the Claymore ETF are expected to be made paid at least quarterly (if the Claymore ETF pays a regular distribution). As a result of the higher management fees on the Advisor Class Units, any such cash distributions on the Advisor Class Units are expected to be less than the distributions payable on the Common Units.

On an annual basis, the Claymore ETF will ensure that the net income and net realized capital gains of the Claymore ETF have been distributed to Unitholders to such an extent that the Claymore ETF will not be liable for ordinary income tax thereon. To the extent that the Claymore ETF has not distributed the full amount of its net income or capital gains in any year, the difference between such amount and the amount actually distributed by the Claymore ETF will be paid as a “reinvested distribution.” Reinvested distributions, net of any required withholding tax, will be reinvested automatically in additional Units at a price equal to the NAV per Unit of the Claymore ETF and the Units will be immediately consolidated such that the number of outstanding Units following the distribution will equal the number of Units outstanding prior to the distribution.

Initial Issuance of Units: Pursuant to the Prospectus, 100,000 Common Units and 50,000 Advisor Class Units of the Claymore ETF will be issued at a subscription price of $50.00 per Unit. Units of the Claymore ETF are being issued and sold on a continuous distribution basis.
