Ownership or “membership” interests in the Sponsor are owned by persons referred to as “members.” The Sponsor currently has three voting or “Class A” members – Mr. Sal Gilbertie, Mr. Carl N. Miller III, and Van Eck Associates Corporation – and a small number of non-voting or “Class B” members who have provided working capital to the Sponsor.

The following information replaces the first paragraph of the “THE OFFERING – The Sponsor – Management of the Sponsor” section of the prospectus:

 

Management of the Sponsor

 

In general, under the Sponsor’s Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Sponsor (and as a result the Trust and each Fund) is managed by the officers of the Sponsor.  The Chief Executive Officer of the Sponsor is responsible for the overall strategic direction of the Sponsor and has general control of its business. The Chief Investment Officer and President of the Sponsor is primarily responsible for new investment product development with respect to the Funds. The Chief Operating Officer has primary responsibility for trade operations, trade execution, and portfolio activities with respect to the Fund. The Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer and Chief Compliance Officer act as the Sponsor’s principal financial and accounting officers. Furthermore, certain fundamental actions regarding the Sponsor, such as the removal of officers, the addition or substitution of members, or the incurrence of liabilities other than those incurred in the ordinary course of business and de minimis liabilities, may not be taken without the affirmative vote of a majority of the Class A members (which is generally defined as the affirmative vote of each Mr. Gilbertie and Van Eck Associates Corporation). The Sponsor has no board of directors, and the Trust has no board of directors or officers. The three Class A members of the Sponsor are Sal Gilbertie, Carl N. Miller III, and Van Eck Associates Corporation.

 

The following information replaces the fifth paragraph of the “THE OFFERING – The Sponsor – Management of the Sponsor” section of the prospectus:

 

Messrs. Gilbertie and Kahler, Van Eck Associates Corporation, and Ms. Mullen-Rusin are “principals,” as that term is defined in CFTC Rule 3.1, of the Sponsor and Teucrium Investment Advisors, LLC. These persons are principals due to their positions and/or due to their ownership interests in the Sponsor. GFI Group LLC is a principal under CFTC Rules due to its ownership of certain non-voting securities of the Sponsor and Teucrium Investment Advisors, LLC. NMSIC Classic LLC is a principal under CFTC Rules due to its greater than 10% capital contribution to the Sponsor. The Sponsor is a listed principal of Teucrium Investment Advisors, LLC due to its 100% ownership of the entity.
