Item 8.01.  Other Events.

On September 29, 2020, Gold Corporation, as the custodial sponsor (the “Custodial Sponsor”) of Perth Mint Physical Gold ETF (the “Trust”), and Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC, as the administrative sponsor of the Trust (the “Adminsitrative Sponsor,” and together with the Custodial Sponsor, the “Current Sponsors”) entered into an agreement to transfer the roles of the Current Sponsors to Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Goldman Sachs Transaction”). Upon closing of the Goldman Sachs Transaction, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. will serve as the new sponsor of the Trust, which will combine the roles of the Custodial Sponsor and the Administrative Sponsor.

At the closing of the Goldman Sachs Transaction, Gold Corporation will resign as the custodian of the Trust’s gold bullion (in its role as custodian of the Trust, the “Custodian”) and a new third-party custodian will be appointed, at which point the payment of the cash equivalent of gold due, payable and deliverable on behalf of the Trust will no longer be guaranteed by the Treasurer of Western Australia, in the name and on behalf of the Crown in right of the State of Western Australia. It is also expected that, immediately after the closing of the Goldman Sachs Transaction, investors will no longer be able to take delivery of the physical gold bullion in exchange for the Perth Mint Physical Gold ETF Shares (the “shares”) such investors own. It is also anticipated that the Trust will be renamed at the closing of the Goldman Sachs Transaction to Goldman Sachs Physical Gold ETF.

Other than the changes outlined above, it is not expected that the Goldman Sachs Transaction will materially affect the Trust, its shareholders or an investment in the Trust’s shares.

In addition to the resignation of Gold Corporation as the Custodian as described above, the Goldman Sachs Transaction is subject to other customary closing conditions, and there is no assurance that such conditions will be met or that the Goldman Sachs Transaction will be consummated within the expected timframe, or at all.

A copy of the press release issued by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
