Item 1.02

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

Termination of Allocated and Unallocated Account Agreements with Prior Custodian

Effective August 8, 2024, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. (“JPMorgan” or the “Former Custodian”) no longer serves as a custodian of the Trust’s platinum.

Pursuant to the notice of termination of the allocated and unallocated account agreements with the Former Custodian (the “Former Custody Agreements”) delivered to the Former Custodian, the termination became effective on August 8, 2024, which was the date on which all platinum held in the allocated and unallocated accounts governed by the Former Custody Agreements had transferred to the allocated and unallocated accounts governed by the allocated and unallocated account agreements with ICBC Standard Bank Plc (the “New Custodian”). Accordingly, custody of all of the Trust’s platinum is now pursuant to the allocated and unallocated account agreements with the New Custodian.

No cost or expense was, or will be, incurred by the Trust or the holders of the abrdn Physical Platinum Shares ETF in connection with the termination of the Former Custody Agreements.
