Overview

The CurrencyShares^® Chinese Renminbi Trust (the “Trust”) is a grantor trust that was formed on August 16, 2011. The Trust issues shares (the “Shares”) in blocks of 50,000 (a “Basket”) in exchange for deposits of Chinese Renminbi and distributes Chinese Renminbi in connection with the redemption of Baskets.

The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the price in USD of the Chinese Renminbi plus accrued interest, less the expenses of the Trust’s operations. The Shares are intended to provide institutional and retail investors with a simple, cost-effective means of gaining investment benefits similar to those of holding the Chinese Renminbi. The Shares are bought and sold on NYSE Arca like any other exchange-listed security. The Shares are backed by the assets of the Trust, which does not hold or use derivative products. Investing in the Shares will not insulate the investor from certain risks, including price volatility. The value of the holdings of the Trust will be reported on the Trust’s website, www.currencyshares.com, each business day.

The Trust

General

The Trust holds Chinese Renminbi and is expected from time to time to issue Baskets in exchange for deposits of Chinese Renminbi and distribute Chinese Renminbi in connection with redemptions of Baskets. The Chinese Renminbi held by the Trust will be sold only (1) if needed to pay Trust expenses, (2) in the event the Trust terminates and liquidates its assets or (3) as otherwise required by law or regulation.

The Sponsor

The Sponsor of the Trust generally oversees the performance of the Trustee and the Trust’s principal service providers, but does not exercise day-to-day oversight over the Trustee or the Trust’s service providers. The Sponsor is Rydex Specialized Products LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

The Trust’s only ordinary recurring expense is the Sponsor’s fee. The Sponsor is responsible for payment of the following administrative and marketing expenses of the Trust: the Trustee’s monthly fee, typical maintenance and transaction fees of the Depository, NYSE Arca listing fees, printing and mailing costs, audit fees and expenses, up to $100,000 year in legal fees and expenses, and applicable license fees. The Sponsor also paid the costs of the Trust’s organization, including the applicable SEC registration fees. The Sponsor’s fee accrues daily at an annual nominal rate of 0.40% of the Chinese Renminbi in the Trust (including all unpaid interest but excluding unpaid fees, each as accrued through the immediately preceding day). The Sponsor was paid $2,385 for the period ended October 31, 2011.

The Trustee

The Bank of New York Mellon, a banking corporation with trust powers organized under the laws of the State of New York, serves as the Trustee. The Trustee is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Trust, including keeping the Trust’s operational records.

Net Asset Value

The Trustee calculates, and the Sponsor publishes, the Trust’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”) each business day. To calculate the NAV, the Trustee adds to the amount of Chinese Renminbi in the Trust at the end of the preceding day accrued but unpaid interest, Chinese Renminbi receivable under pending purchase orders and the value of other Trust assets, and subtracts the accrued but unpaid Sponsor’s fee, Chinese Renminbi payable under pending redemption orders and other Trust expenses and liabilities, if any. The NAV is expressed in U.S. Dollars (“USD”) based on the “Closing Spot Rate,” which is the USD/ Chinese Renminbi exchange rate as determined by The World Markets Company PLC, a State Street business, as of 4:00 PM (London fixing) on each day that NYSE Arca is open

1

for regular trading. If, on a particular evaluation day, the Closing Spot Rate has not been determined and announced by 6:00 PM (London time), then the most recent Closing Spot Rate is used to determine the NAV of the Trust unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate to use as the basis for the valuation.

The Trustee also determines the NAV per Share, which equals the NAV of the Trust divided by the number of outstanding Shares. The NAV of the Trust and NAV per Share is published by the Sponsor on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading and is posted on the Trust’s website, www.currencyshares.com.

Depository and Deposit Accounts

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, is the Depository. The Depository maintains two deposit accounts for the Trust, a primary deposit account that may earn interest and a secondary deposit account that does not earn interest (collectively, the “Deposit Accounts”). Interest on the primary deposit account, if any, accrues daily and is paid monthly. If the Sponsor believes that the interest rate paid by the Depository is not competitive, the Sponsor’s recourse is to remove the Depository by terminating the Deposit Account Agreement and closing the Deposit Accounts. The Depository is not paid a fee for its services to the Trust. The Depository earns a “spread” or “margin” over the rate of interest it pays to the Trust on the Chinese Renminbi deposit balances.

The secondary deposit account is used to account for any interest that may be received and paid on creations and redemptions of Baskets. The secondary deposit account is also used to account for interest earned on the primary deposit account, if any, pay Trust expenses and distribute any excess interest to Shareholders on a monthly basis. In the event that the interest deposited exceeds the sum of the Sponsor’s fee for the prior month plus other Trust expenses, if any, then the Trustee will direct that the excess be converted into USD at a prevailing market rate and the Trustee will distribute the USD as promptly as practicable to Shareholders on a pro-rata basis (in accordance with the number of Shares that they own).

Trust Expenses

In certain exceptional cases the Trust may pay expenses in addition to the Sponsor’s fee. These exceptions include expenses not assumed by the Sponsor, taxes and governmental charges, expenses and costs of any extraordinary services performed by the Trustee or the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust or action taken by the Trustee or the Sponsor to protect the Trust or the interests of Shareholders, indemnification of the Sponsor under the Depositary Trust Agreement, and legal expenses in excess of $100,000 per year.

Termination

The Trust will terminate upon the occurrence of any of the termination events listed in the Depositary Trust Agreement and will otherwise terminate on August 16, 2051.

The Shares

General

Each Share represents a proportional interest, based on the total number of Shares outstanding, in the Chinese Renminbi owned by the Trust, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, less accrued but unpaid expenses (both asset-based and non-asset based) of the Trust. All Shares are of the same class with equal rights and privileges. Each Share is transferable, is fully paid and non-assessable and entitles the holder to vote on the limited matters upon which Shareholders may vote under the Depositary Trust Agreement.

Limited Rights

The Shares are not a traditional investment. They are dissimilar from the shares of a corporation operating a business enterprise, with management and a board of directors. Trust Shareholders do not have rights normally associated with owning shares of a business corporation, including, for example, the right to bring “oppression” or “derivative” actions. Shareholders have only those rights explicitly set forth in the Depositary Trust Agreement. The Shares do not entitle their holders to any conversion or pre-emptive rights or, except as described herein, any redemption or distribution rights.

2

Voting and Approvals

Shareholders have no voting rights under the Depositary Trust Agreement, except in limited circumstances. If the holders of at least 25% of the Shares outstanding determine that the Trustee is in material breach of its obligations under the Depositary Trust Agreement, they may provide written notice to the Trustee (or require the Sponsor to do so) specifying the default and requiring the Trustee to cure such default. If the Trustee fails to cure such breach within 30 days after receipt of the notice, the Sponsor, acting on behalf of the Shareholders, may remove the Trustee. The holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Shares outstanding may vote to remove the Trustee. The Trustee must terminate the Trust at the request of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding Shares.

Creation and Redemption of Shares

The creation and redemption of Baskets requires the delivery to the Trust or the distribution by the Trust of the amount of Chinese Renminbi represented by the Baskets being created or redeemed. This amount is based on the combined NAV per Share of the number of Shares included in the Baskets being created or redeemed, determined on the day the order to create or redeem Baskets is accepted by the Trustee.

Only Authorized Participants may place orders to create and redeem Baskets. An Authorized Participant is a Depository Trust Company participant that is a registered broker-dealer or other securities market participant such as a bank or other financial institution that is not required to register as a broker-dealer to engage in securities transactions.

Before initiating a creation or redemption order, an Authorized Participant must have entered into a Participant Agreement with the Sponsor and the Trustee. The Participant Agreement provides the procedures for the creation and redemption of Baskets and for the delivery of Chinese Renminbi required for creations and redemptions. The Participant Agreements may be amended by the Trustee and the Sponsor. Authorized Participants pay a transaction fee of $500 to the Trustee for each order that they place to create or redeem one or more Baskets. In addition to the $500 transaction fee paid to the Trustee, Authorized Participants pay a variable fee to the Sponsor for creation orders and redemption orders of two or more Baskets to compensate the Sponsor for costs associated with the registration of Shares. The variable fee paid to the Sponsor by an Authorized Participant will not exceed $2,000 for each creation or redemption order, as set forth in the Participant Agreement. Authorized Participants who make deposits with the Trust in exchange for Baskets receive no fees, commissions or other form of compensation or inducement of any kind from either the Sponsor or the Trust. No Authorized Participant has any obligation or responsibility to the Sponsor or the Trust to effect any sale or resale of Shares.

Availability of SEC Reports and other Information

The Sponsor, on behalf of the Trust, files quarterly and annual reports and other information with the SEC. The reports and other information can be accessed through the Trust’s website at www.currencyshares.com.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should consider carefully the risks described below before making an investment decision. You should also refer to the other information included in this report, including the Trust’s financial statements and the related notes.

The value of the Shares relates directly to the value of the Chinese Renminbi held by the Trust. Fluctuations in the price of the Chinese Renminbi could materially and adversely affect the value of the Shares.

The Shares are designed to reflect the price of the Chinese Renminbi, plus accumulated interest, less the Trust’s expenses. Several factors may affect the price of the Chinese Renminbi, including:

• Debt level and trade deficit or surplus of China;

• Inflation rates of the United States and China and investors’ expectations concerning inflation rates;

• Interest rates of the United States and China and investors’ expectations concerning interest rates;

• Investment and trading activities of mutual funds, hedge funds and currency funds; and

• Global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations.

3

In addition, the Chinese Renminbi may not maintain its long-term value in terms of purchasing power in the future. When the price of the Chinese Renminbi declines, the Sponsor expects the price of a Share to decline as well.

There is no assurance that the USD/Chinese Renminbi exchange rate will be stable or that the Chinese Renminbi will maintain its value or increase in value relative to the USD. Volatility is difficult to predict and could materially and adversely affect the performance of the Shares. Devaluation of the Chinese Renminbi relative to the USD would decrease the value of the Shares.

The Chinese government historically pegged the Chinese Renminbi to the USD. Amid international pressure to allow the currency to float freely, subject to market forces, in July 2010 China announced that the Chinese Renminbi would be pegged to a basket of currencies. The Chinese government has not formally stated what currencies are contained in the basket of currencies. Although the USD/Chinese Renminbi exchange rate has been relatively stable since July 2010, there is no assurance that the exchange rate will remain stable. Volatility in the USD/Chinese Renminbi exchange rate could materially and adversely affect the performance of the Shares. Devaluation of the Chinese Renminbi relative to the USD would decrease the value of the Shares.

Foreign exchange rates are influenced by the factors identified in the preceding risk factor and may also be influenced by: changing supply and demand for a particular currency; monetary policies of governments (including exchange control programs, restrictions on local exchanges or markets and limitations on foreign investment in a country or on investment by residents of a country in other countries); changes in balances of payments and trade; trade restrictions; and currency devaluations and revaluations. These events and actions are unpredictable. Also, in the past, the Chinese government has implemented a variety of capital controls in order to influence the price of the Chinese Renminbi relative to the USD. Capital controls include the prohibition of, or restrictions on, the ability to buy, sell or transfer Chinese Renminbi. The exercise of such controls by the Chinese government is unpredictable.

If interest earned by the Trust does not exceed expenses, the Trustee will withdraw Chinese Renminbi from the Trust to pay these excess expenses which will reduce the amount of Chinese Renminbi represented by each Share and potentially result in adverse tax consequences for Shareholders.

Each outstanding Share will represent a fractional, undivided interest in the Chinese Renminbi held by the Trust. Although the Trust will generate interest, it is possible that the amount of interest earned may not exceed expenses, in which case the Trustee will withdraw Chinese Renminbi from the Trust to pay these excess expenses. As a result, the amount of Chinese Renminbi represented by each Share may gradually decline over time. This is true even if additional Shares are issued in exchange for additional deposits of Chinese Renminbi into the Trust, as the amount of Chinese Renminbi required to create Shares will proportionately reflect the amount of Chinese Renminbi represented by the Shares outstanding at the time of creation. Assuming a constant Chinese Renminbi price, if expenses exceed interest earned, the trading price of the Shares will gradually decline relative to the price of the Chinese Renminbi as the amount of Chinese Renminbi represented by the Shares gradually declines. In this event, the Shares will only maintain their original price if the price of the Chinese Renminbi 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 Chinese Renminbi 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 Chinese Renminbi. 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 Chinese Renminbi.

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.

4

The Depository is committed to endeavor to pay a competitive interest rate on the balance of Chinese Renminbi 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, based upon changes in market conditions or the Depository’s liquidity needs. The Depository will notify the Sponsor of the interest rate applied each business day after the close of such business day. The Sponsor will disclose the current interest rate on the Trust’s website. If the Sponsor believes that the interest rate paid by the Depository is not adequate, the Sponsor’s sole recourse is to remove the Depository and terminate the Deposit Accounts. The Depository is not paid a fee for its services to the Trust; rather, it generates income or loss based on its ability to earn a “spread” or “margin” over the interest it pays to the Trust by using the Trust’s Chinese Renminbi to make loans or in other banking operations. For these reasons, you should not expect that the Trust will be paid the best available interest rate at any time or over time.

If the Trust incurs expenses in USD, the Trust would be required to sell Chinese Renminbi to pay these expenses. The sale of the Trust’s Chinese Renminbi to pay expenses in USD at a time of low Chinese Renminbi prices could adversely affect the value of the Shares.

The Trustee will sell Chinese Renminbi held by the Trust to pay Trust expenses, if any, incurred in USD, irrespective of then-current Chinese Renminbi prices. The Trust is not actively managed and no attempt will be made to buy or sell Chinese Renminbi to protect against or to take advantage of fluctuations in the price of the Chinese Renminbi. Consequently, if the Trust incurs expenses in USD, the Trust’s Chinese Renminbi may be sold at a time when the Chinese Renminbi price is low, resulting in a negative effect on the value of the Shares.

The Deposit Accounts are not entitled to payment at any office of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. located in the United States.

The federal laws of the United States prohibit banks located in the United States from paying interest on unrestricted demand deposit accounts. Therefore, payments out of the Deposit Accounts will be payable only at the London branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., located in England. The Trustee will not be entitled to demand payment of these accounts at any office of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. that is located in the United States. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will not be required to repay the deposit if its London branch cannot repay the deposit due to an act of war, insurrection or civil strife or an action by a foreign government or instrumentality (whether de jure or de facto) in England.

Shareholders do not have the protections associated with ownership of a demand deposit account insured in the United States by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation nor the protection provided for bank deposits under English law.

Neither the Shares nor the Deposit Accounts and the Chinese Renminbi deposited in them are deposits insured against loss by the FDIC, any other federal agency of the United States or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme of England.

If the Depository becomes insolvent, its assets might not be adequate to satisfy a claim by the Trust or any Authorized Participant. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of the Depository or the U.S. bank of which it is a branch, there may be a delay and costs incurred in recovering the Chinese Renminbi held in the Deposit Accounts.

Chinese Renminbi deposited in the Deposit Accounts by an Authorized Participant are commingled with Chinese Renminbi deposited by other Authorized Participants and are held by the Depository in either the primary deposit account or the secondary deposit account of the Trust. Chinese Renminbi held in the Deposit Accounts are not segregated from the Depository’s other assets.

The Trust has no proprietary rights in or to any specific Chinese Renminbi held by the Depository and will be an unsecured creditor of the Depository with respect to the Chinese Renminbi held in the Deposit Accounts in the event of the insolvency of the Depository or the U.S. bank of which it is a branch. In the event the Depository or the U.S. bank of which it is a branch becomes insolvent, the Depository’s assets might not be adequate to satisfy a claim by the Trust or any Authorized Participant for the amount of Chinese Renminbi deposited by the Trust or the Authorized Participant and, in such event, the Trust and any Authorized Participant will generally have no right in or to assets other than those of the Depository.

5

In the case of insolvency of the Depository or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the U.S. bank of which the Depository is a branch, a liquidator may seek to freeze access to the Chinese Renminbi held in all accounts by the Depository, including the Deposit Accounts. The Trust and the Authorized Participants could incur expenses and delays in connection with asserting their claims. These problems would be exacerbated by the fact that the Deposit Accounts are not held in the U.S. but instead are held at the London branch of a U.S. national bank, where they are subject to English insolvency law. Further, under U.S. law, in the case of the insolvency of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the claims of creditors in respect of accounts (such as the Trust’s Deposit Accounts) that are maintained with an overseas branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will be subordinate to claims of creditors in respect of accounts maintained with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in the U.S., greatly increasing the risk that the Trust and the Trust’s beneficiaries would suffer a loss.

Shareholders will not have the protections associated with ownership of shares in an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

The Investment Company Act is designed to protect investors by preventing: insiders from managing investment companies to their benefit and to the detriment of public investors; the issuance of securities having inequitable or discriminatory provisions; the management of investment companies by irresponsible persons; the use of unsound or misleading methods of computing earnings and asset value; changes in the character of investment companies without the consent of investors; and investment companies from engaging in excessive leveraging. To accomplish these ends, the Investment Company Act requires the safekeeping and proper valuation of fund assets, restricts greatly transactions with affiliates, limits leveraging, and imposes governance requirements as a check on fund management.

The Trust is not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act and is not required to register under that act. Consequently, Shareholders do not have the regulatory protections afforded to investors in registered investment companies.

Shareholders will not have the rights enjoyed by investors in certain other financial instruments.

As interests in a grantor trust, the Shares have none of the statutory rights normally associated with the ownership of shares of a business corporation, including, for example, the right to bring “oppression” or “derivative” actions. Apart from the rights afforded to them by federal and state securities laws, Shareholders have only those rights relative to the Trust, the Trust property and the Shares that are set forth in the Depositary Trust Agreement. In this connection, the Shareholders have limited voting and distribution rights. They do not have the right to elect directors. See “Business – The Shares – Limited Rights” for a description of the limited rights of the Shareholders.

The Shares may trade at a price which is at, above, or below the NAV per Share.

The NAV per Share fluctuates with changes in the market value of the Trust’s assets. The market price of Shares can be expected to fluctuate in accordance with changes in the NAV per Share, but also in response to market supply and demand. As a result, the Shares might trade at prices at, above or below the NAV per Share.

The Depository owes no fiduciary duties to the Trust or the Shareholders, is not required to act in their best interest and could resign or be removed by the Sponsor, which would trigger early termination of the Trust.

The Depository is not a trustee for the Trust or the Shareholders. As stated above, the Depository is not obligated to maximize the interest rate paid to the Trust. In addition, the Depository has no duty to continue to act as the depository of the Trust. The Depository can terminate its role as depository for any reason whatsoever upon 150 days’ notice to the Trust. If directed by the Sponsor, the Trustee must terminate the Depository. Such a termination might result, for example, if the Sponsor determines that the interest rate paid by the Depository is inadequate. In the event that the Depository was to resign or be removed, the Trust will be terminated.

Shareholders may incur significant fees upon the termination of the Trust.

The occurrence of any one of several events would either require the Trust to terminate or permit the Sponsor to terminate the Trust. For example, if the Depository were to resign or be removed, then the Sponsor would be required to terminate the Trust. Authorized Participants tendering Baskets within 90 days of the Trust’s termination will receive the amount of Chinese Renminbi represented by their Baskets. Shareholders may incur significant fees if they choose to convert the Chinese Renminbi they receive to USD.

6

Redemption orders are subject to rejection by the Trustee under certain circumstances.

The Trustee will reject a redemption order if the order is not in proper form as described in the Participant Agreement or if the fulfillment of the order, in the opinion of its counsel, might be unlawful. Any such rejection could adversely affect a redeeming Shareholder. For example, the resulting delay would adversely affect the value of the Shareholder’s redemption distribution if the NAV were to decline during the delay. In the Depositary Trust Agreement, the Sponsor and the Trustee disclaim any liability for any loss or damage that may result from any such rejection.

Substantial sales of Chinese Renminbi by the official sector could adversely affect an investment in the Shares.

The official sector consists of central banks, other governmental agencies and multi-lateral institutions that buy, sell and hold Chinese Renminbi as part of their reserve assets. The official sector holds a significant amount of Chinese Renminbi that can be mobilized in the open market. In the event that future economic, political or social conditions or pressures require members of the official sector to sell their Chinese Renminbi simultaneously or in an uncoordinated manner, the demand for Chinese Renminbi might not be sufficient to accommodate the sudden increase in the supply of Chinese Renminbi to the market. Consequently, the price of the Chinese Renminbi could decline, which would adversely affect an investment in the Shares.

Shareholders that are not Authorized Participants may only purchase or sell their Shares in secondary trading markets.

Only Authorized Participants may create or redeem Baskets through the Trust. All other investors that desire to purchase or sell Shares must do so through NYSE Arca or in other markets, if any, in which the Shares are traded.

The liability of the Sponsor and the Trustee under the Depositary Trust Agreement is limited and, except as set forth in the Depositary Trust Agreement, they are not obligated to prosecute any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Trust property.

The Depositary Trust Agreement provides that neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee assumes any obligation or is subject to any liability under the Trust Agreement to any Shareholder, except that they each agree to perform their respective obligations specifically set forth in the Depositary Trust Agreement without negligence or bad faith. Additionally, neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee is obligated to, although each may in its respective discretion, prosecute any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Trust property. The Depositary Trust Agreement does not confer upon Shareholders the right to prosecute any such action, suit or other proceeding.

The Depositary Trust Agreement may be amended to the detriment of Shareholders without their consent.

The Sponsor and the Trustee may amend most provisions (other than those addressing core economic rights) of the Depositary Trust Agreement without the consent of any Shareholder. Such an amendment could impose or increase fees or charges borne by the Shareholders. Any amendment that increases fees or charges (other than taxes and other governmental charges, registration fees or other expenses), or that otherwise prejudices any substantial existing rights of Shareholders, will not become effective until 30 days after written notice is given to Shareholders.

The License Agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon may be terminated by The Bank of New York Mellon in the event of a material breach. Termination of the License Agreement might lead to early termination and liquidation of the Trust.

The Bank of New York Mellon and an affiliate of the Sponsor have entered into a License Agreement granting the Sponsor’s affiliate a license to certain patent applications made by The Bank of New York Mellon covering systems and methods for securitizing a commodity. The Sponsor’s affiliate has sublicensed the license to the Sponsor. The license is limited to a non-exclusive grant for the life of The Bank of New York Mellon’s patents and patent applications. The License Agreement provides that each of the parties may provide notice of intent to terminate the License Agreement in the event the other party commits a material breach. If the License Agreement is terminated and one or more of The Bank of New York Mellon’s patent applications issue as patents, then The Bank of New York Mellon may claim that the operation of the Trust violates its patent or patents and seek an injunction forcing the Trust to cease operation and the Shares to cease trading. In that case, the Trust might be forced to terminate and liquidate, which would adversely affect Shareholders.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “outlook” and “estimate” and other similar words. Forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Various factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. These factors include fluctuations in the price of the Chinese Renminbi, as the value of the Shares relates directly to the value of the Chinese Renminbi held by the Trust and price fluctuations could materially adversely affect an investment in the Shares. Readers are urged to review the “Risk Factors” section in this report for a description of other risks and uncertainties that may affect an investment in the Shares.

Neither Rydex Specialized Products LLC d/b/a Rydex Investments (the “Sponsor”) nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of forward-looking statements contained in this report. The forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this report, and will not be revised or updated to reflect actual results or changes in the Sponsor’s expectations or predictions.

Movements in the Price of Chinese Renminbi

The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the price in USD of the Chinese Renminbi plus accrued interest, less the expenses of the Trust’s operations. The Shares are intended to provide institutional and retail investors with a simple, cost-effective means of gaining investment benefits similar to those of holding Chinese Renminbi. Each outstanding Share represents a proportional interest in the Chinese Renminbi held by the

Trust. The following chart illustrates recent movements in the price of Chinese Renminbi in USD as reported by the Bloomberg Professional service:

NAV per Share; Valuation of the Canadian Dollar

The following chart illustrates the movement in the price of the Shares based on (1) NAV per Share, (2) the “bid” and “ask” midpoint offered on NYSE Arca and (3) the Closing Spot Rate expressed as a multiple of 100 Canadian Dollars:

Liquidity

The Sponsor is not aware of any trends, demands, conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to the Trust’s liquidity needs. The Trust’s Depository, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, maintains two deposit accounts for the Trust, a primary deposit account which is expected to earn interest and a secondary deposit account which does not earn interest. Interest on the primary deposit account, if any, accrues daily and is paid monthly. The interest rate in effect as of October 31, 2011 was an annual nominal rate of 0.10%. The following chart provides the daily rate paid by the Depository since the Shares began trading:

11

In exchange for a fee, the Sponsor bears most of the expenses incurred by the Trust. As a result, the only ordinary expense of the Trust during the period covered by this report was the Sponsor’s fee. Each month the Depository deposits into the secondary deposit account accrued but unpaid interest, if any, and the Trustee withdraws Chinese Renminbi from the secondary deposit account to pay the accrued Sponsor’s fee for the previous month plus other Trust expenses, if any. When the interest deposited, if any, exceeds the sum of the Sponsor’s fee for the prior month plus other Trust expenses, if any, the Trustee converts the excess into USD at a prevailing market rate and distributes the USD as promptly as practicable to Shareholders on a pro-rata basis (in accordance with the number of Shares that they own). The Trust did not make any distributions during the period ended October 31, 2011.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Sponsor’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period covered by this report.

In addition to the description below, please refer to Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of our accounting policies.

The functional currency of the Trust is the Chinese Renminbi in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation.

Results of Operations

The Chinese Yuan is the unit of account for the Chinese Renminbi. The Trust was formed on August 16, 2011 when the Sponsor deposited 500 Chinese Yuan with the Depository in exchange for one Share. The Depository received 50,000,000 Chinese Yuan on behalf of the Trust in exchange for 100,000 Shares on September 29, 2011. Trading in the Shares of the Trust on the NYSE commenced on October 4, 2011. Through the fiscal period ended October 31, 2011 no additional Shares were created and the single seed share was redeemed in exchange for 500 Chinese Yuan.

As of October 31, 2011 the number of Chinese Yuan owned by the Trust was 50,000,000, resulting in a redeemable capital share value of $7,819,874.

Interest income earned for the period ended October 31, 2011 was $605.

The Sponsor’s fee accrues daily at an annual nominal rate of 0.40% of the Chinese Renminbi in the Trust. The Sponsor’s fee paid for the period ended October 31, 2011 was $2,385. The only expense of the Trust during the period ended October 31, 2011 was the Sponsor’s fee.

12

The Trust’s net loss for the period ended October 31, 2011 was $1,780, due to the Sponsor’s fee of $2,385 exceeding interest income of $605.

No cash dividends per Share were paid for the period ended October 31, 2011 as the Trust’s income did not exceed the Trust’s expenses.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Except as described above with respect to the USD/Chinese Renminbi exchange rate and the nominal annual interest rate to be paid by the Depository on Chinese Renminbi held by the Trust, the Trust is not subject to market risk. The Trust does not hold securities and does not invest in derivative instruments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders of CurrencyShares^® Chinese Renminbi Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of CurrencyShares^® Chinese Renminbi Trust (the “Trust”) as of October 31, 2011, and the related statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the period August 16, 2011 (date of inception) to October 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CurrencyShares^® Chinese Renminbi Trust at October 31, 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period August 16, 2011 (date of inception) to October 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

CurrencyShares^® Chinese Renminbi Trust

Notes to Financial Statements

1.     Organization and Description of the Trust

The CurrencyShares^® Chinese Renminbi Trust (the “Trust”) was formed under the laws of the State of New York on August 16, 2011. On August 16, 2011, Rydex Specialized Products LLC d/b/a “Rydex Investments” (the “Sponsor”) deposited 500 Chinese Yuan in the Trust’s primary deposit account held by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch (the “Depository”). The Sponsor is a Delaware limited liability company whose sole member is Rydex Advisors II, LLC (also d/b/a “Rydex Investments”). The Sponsor is responsible for, among other things, overseeing the performance of The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Trustee”) and the Trust’s principal service providers, including the preparation of financial statements. The Trustee is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Trust.

The investment objective of the Trust is for the Trust’s shares (the “Shares”) to reflect the price of the Chinese Renminbi plus accrued interest, if any, less the Trust’s expenses and liabilities. The Shares are intended to provide investors with a simple, cost-effective means of gaining investment benefits similar to those of holding Chinese Renminbi. The Trust’s assets primarily consist of Chinese Renminbi on demand deposit in two deposit accounts maintained by the Depository: a primary deposit account which earns interest and a secondary deposit account which does not earn interest. The secondary deposit account is used to account for any interest that may be received and paid out on creations and redemptions of blocks of 50,000 Shares (“Baskets”). The secondary account is also used to account for interest earned, if any, on the primary deposit account, pay Trust expenses and distribute any excess interest to holders of Shares (“Shareholders”) on a monthly basis.

The accompanying audited financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

2.     Significant Accounting Policies

A. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the evaluation of subsequent events through the issuance date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

B. Foreign Currency Translation

The Trustee will calculate the Trust’s net asset value (“NAV”) each business day, as described in Note 3 below. For NAV calculation purposes, Chinese Renminbi Deposits (cash) are translated at the Closing Spot Rate, which is the Chinese Renminbi /U.S. Dollar (“USD”) exchange rate as determined and published by The WM Company at 4:00 PM (London time) on each day that NYSE Arca is open for regular trading.

The functional currency of the Trust is the Chinese Renminbi in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards. For financial statement reporting purposes, the USD is the reporting currency. As a result, the financial statement is translated from Chinese Renminbi to USD. The Closing Spot Rate on the last day of the period is used for translation in the statement of financial condition.

C. Federal Income Taxes

The Trust is treated as a “grantor trust” for federal income tax purposes and, therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. Interest, gains and losses are passed through to the Shareholders.

F-7

Shareholders generally will be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as if they directly owned a pro-rata share of the assets held in the Trust. Shareholders also will be treated as if they directly received their respective pro-rata portion of the Trust’s income, if any, and as if they directly incurred their respective pro-rata portion of the Trust’s expenses. The acquisition of Shares by a U.S. Shareholder as part of a creation of a Basket will not be a taxable event to the Shareholder.

The Sponsor’s fee will accrue daily and will be payable monthly. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, an accrual-basis U.S. Shareholder generally will be required to take into account as an expense its allocable portion of the USD-equivalent of the amount of the Sponsor’s fee that will be accrued on each day, with such USD-equivalent being determined by the currency exchange rate that is in effect on the respective day. To the extent that the currency exchange rate on the date of payment of the accrued amount of the Sponsor’s fee differs from the currency exchange rate in effect on the day of accrual, the U.S. Shareholder will recognize a currency gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Trust does not expect to generate taxable income except for interest income (if any) and gain (if any) upon the sale of Chinese Renminbi. A non-U.S. Shareholder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to gain recognized upon the sale or other disposition of Shares, or upon the sale of Chinese Renminbi by the Trust, unless: (1) the non-U.S. Shareholder is an individual and is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the sale or other disposition, and the gain is treated as being from United States sources; or (2) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. Shareholder of a trade or business in the United States.

A non-U.S. Shareholder’s portion of any interest income earned by the Trust generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless the Shares owned by such non-U.S. Shareholder are effectively connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. Shareholder of a trade or business in the United States.

D. Revenue Recognition

Interest on the primary deposit account, if any, accrues daily as earned and is received on a monthly basis.

E. Dividends

To the extent that the interest earned by the Trust exceeds the sum of the Sponsor’s fee for the prior month plus other Trust expenses, if any, the Trust will distribute, as a dividend (herein referred to as dividends or distributions), the excess interest earned in Chinese Renminbi effective on the first business day of the subsequent month. The Trustee will direct that the excess Chinese Renminbi be converted into USD at the prevailing market rate and the Trustee will distribute the USD as promptly as practicable to Shareholders on a pro-rata basis (in accordance with the number of Shares that they own).

3.     Chinese Renminbi Deposits

Chinese Renminbi principal deposits are held in a Chinese Renminbi-denominated, interest-bearing demand account. The Chinese Yuan is the unit of account for the Chinese Renminbi. For the period August 16, 2011 (date of inception) to October 31, 2011, there were Chinese Yuan principal deposits of 50,000,500 and Chinese Yuan principal redemptions of 500, resulting in an ending Chinese Yuan principal balance of 50,000,000. This equates to 7,821,666 USD.

4.     Redeemable Capital Shares

Shares are classified as “redeemable” for financial statement purposes, since they are subject to redemption. Shares are issued and redeemed continuously in Baskets in exchange for Chinese Renminbi. Individual investors cannot purchase or redeem Shares in direct transactions with the Trust. Authorized Participants (as defined below) may place orders to create and redeem Baskets. An Authorized Participant is a Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) participant that is a registered broker-dealer or other institution eligible to settle securities transactions though the book-entry facilities of DTC and which has entered into a contractual arrangement with the Trust and the Sponsor governing, among other matters, the creation and redemption process. Authorized Participants may redeem their Shares at any time in Baskets.

F-8

Due to expected continuing creations and redemptions of Baskets and the three-day period for settlement of each creation or redemption, the Trust reflects Shares created as a receivable on the trade date. Shares redeemed are reflected as a liability on the trade date. Outstanding Shares are reflected at a redemption value, which is the NAV per Share at the period end date. Adjustments to redeemable capital Shares at redemption value are recorded against retained earnings or, in the absence of retained earnings, by charges against the cumulative translation adjustment.

Activity in redeemable capital Shares is as follows:

		$0,000,000			$0,000,000
	August 16, 2011 [Date of Inception] to October 31, 2011
	Shares			U.S. Dollar Amount
Opening balance		—		$	—
Shares issued		100,001			7,773,288
Shares redeemed		(1	)		(77	)
Adjustment to period Shares due to currency movement and other		—			46,663
Ending balance		100,000		$	7,819,874

The Trustee will calculate the Trust’s NAV each business day. To calculate the NAV, the Trustee will subtract the Sponsor’s accrued fee through the previous day from the Chinese Renminbi held by the Trust (including all unpaid interest accrued, if any, through the preceding day) and calculate the value of the Chinese Renminbi in USD based upon the Closing Spot Rate. If, on a particular evaluation day, the Closing Spot Rate has not been determined and announced by 6:00 PM (London time), then the most recent Closing Spot Rate will be used to determine the NAV of the Trust unless the Sponsor determines that such price is inappropriate to use as the basis for the valuation. If the Sponsor determines the most recent Closing Spot Rate is not an appropriate basis for valuation of the Trust’s Chinese Renminbi, the Sponsor will determine an alternative basis for the valuation. The Trustee also determines the NAV per Share, which equals the NAV of the Trust divided by the number of outstanding Shares. Shares deliverable under a purchase order are considered outstanding for purposes of determining NAV per Share; Shares deliverable under a redemption order are not considered outstanding for this purpose.

5.    Sponsor’s Fee

The Sponsor’s fee will accrue daily at an annual nominal rate of 0.40% of the Chinese Renminbi in the Trust (including all unpaid interest but excluding unpaid fees, each as accrued through the immediately preceding day) and will be paid monthly.

The Sponsor assumes and pays the following administrative and marketing expenses incurred by the Trust: the Trustee’s monthly fee, NYSE Arca listing fees, SEC registration fees, typical maintenance and transaction fees of the Depository, printing and mailing costs, audit fees and expenses, up to $100,000 per year in legal fees and expenses, and applicable license fees. The Sponsor has also paid the costs of the Trust’s organization and the initial sales of the Shares, which were approximately $133,235.93 when the Trust was formed.

In certain exceptional cases the Trust will pay for some expenses in addition to the Sponsor’s fee. These exceptions include expenses not assumed by the Sponsor (i.e., expenses identified in the preceding paragraph), taxes and governmental charges, expenses and costs of any extraordinary services performed by the Trustee or the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust or action taken by the Trustee or the Sponsor to protect the Trust or the interests of Shareholders, indemnification of the Sponsor under the Depositary Trust Agreement, audit fees, and legal expenses in excess of $100,000 per year.

6.     Related Parties

The Sponsor is a related party of the Trust. The Sponsor oversees the performance of the Trustee and the Trust’s principal service providers, including the preparation of financial statements, but does not exercise day-to-day oversight over the Trustee or the Trust’s service providers. The Sponsor has also paid the costs of the Trust’s organization and the initial sales of the Shares, as described in Note 5.

7.     Concentration Risk

All of the Trust’s assets are Chinese Renminbi, which creates a concentration risk associated with fluctuations in the price of the Chinese Renminbi. Accordingly, a decline in the Chinese Renminbi to USD exchange rate will have an adverse effect on the value of the Shares. Factors that may have the effect of causing a decline in the price of the Chinese Renminbi include national debt levels and trade deficits, domestic and foreign inflation rates, domestic and foreign interest rates, investment and trading activities of institutions and global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations. Substantial sales of Chinese Renminbi by the official sector (central banks, other governmental agencies and related institutions that buy, sell and hold Chinese Renminbi as part of their reserve assets) could adversely affect an investment in the Shares.

All of the Trust’s Chinese Renminbi are held by the Depository. Accordingly, a risk associated with the concentration of the Trust’s assets in accounts held by a single financial institution exists and increases the potential for loss by the Trust and the Trust’s beneficiaries in the event that the Depository becomes insolvent.

8.     Commitments and Contingencies

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the Sponsor is indemnified against any liability or expense it incurs without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

Exhibit 4.2

CURRENCYSHARES^® CHINESE RENMINBI TRUST

PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT

This Participant Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of September 13, 2011, is entered into by and between Merrill Lynch Professional Clearing Corp. (with respect to this Agreement, the “Authorized Participant”, and with respect to the Trust Agreement referred to below, an “Authorized Participant”), CurrencyShares^® Chinese Renminbi Trust (the “Trust”), The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, not in its individual capacity but solely as trustee (the “Trustee”) of the Trust, and Rydex Specialized Products LLC, d/b/a Rydex Investments, as sponsor (the “Sponsor”) of the Trust.

SUMMARY

The Trustee serves as the trustee of the Trust pursuant to the Depositary Trust Agreement dated as of August 16, 2011 among the Sponsor, the Trustee, and all depositors (the “Trust Agreement”). As provided in the Trust Agreement and described in the Prospectus (defined below), units of fractional undivided beneficial interests in and ownership of the Trust (the “Shares”) may be created or redeemed by the Trustee for an Authorized Participant in aggregations of fifty thousand (50,000) Shares (each aggregation, a “Basket”). Baskets are offered only pursuant to the registration statement of the Trust on Form S-1, as amended (Registration No: 333-174640), as declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and as the same may be amended from time to time thereafter (collectively, the “Registration Statement”), together with the prospectus of the Trust in the form first filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 and as supplemented and amended from time to time thereafter (the “Prospectus”) adopted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Under the Trust Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to issue Baskets to, and redeem Baskets from, Authorized Participants under the Trust Agreement, only through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or a successor depository, and only in exchange for an amount of Chinese Renminbi that is transferred between such Authorized Participant and the Trust. Under the Trust Agreement, the Trustee issues Baskets in exchange for Chinese Renminbi which are transferred by an Authorized Participant to the London Branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Depository”), and when the Trustee redeems Baskets tendered for redemption by an Authorized Participant in exchange for Chinese Renminbi, the Chinese Renminbi held in the Trust Account are transferred to the Authorized Participant by the Depository. The foregoing Chinese Renminbi transfers are also governed by the Deposit Account Agreement the Trust has entered into with the Depository (the “Deposit Account Agreement”). This Agreement sets forth the specific procedures by which an Authorized Participant may create or redeem Baskets.

Because new Shares can be created and issued on an ongoing basis, at any point during the life of the Trust, a “distribution,” as such term is used in the 1933 Act, may be occurring. The Authorized Participant is cautioned that some of its activities, depending on the circumstances and under certain possible interpretations of applicable law, could be interpreted as resulting in its being deemed a participant in a distribution in a manner that could render it a statutory underwriter and subject it to the prospectus-delivery and liability provisions of the 1933 Act. Notwithstanding that the Authorized Participant may not be acting as a statutory underwriter, it should review the “Plan of Distribution” portion of the Prospectus and consult with its own counsel in connection with entering into this Agreement and placing an Order (defined below).

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Trust Agreement. To the extent there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and the provisions of the Trust Agreement, the provisions of the Trust Agreement shall control. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the Authorized Participant to create or redeem one or more Baskets or to sell or offer to sell Shares.

To give effect to the foregoing premises and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Order Placement. To place orders for the Trustee to create or redeem one or more Baskets, Authorized Participants must follow the procedures for creation and redemption referred to in Section 3 of this Agreement and the procedures described in Attachment A hereto (the “Procedures”), as each may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with this Agreement. To the extent that there is a conflict between the terms in the body of this Agreement and the Procedures, the Procedures shall govern.

Section 2. Status, Representations and Warranties of the Parties.

(a) The Authorized Participant represents and warrants and covenants the following on the date hereof and at each time of purchase by the Authorized Participant of a Basket from the Trust (each such time, the “Time of Purchase”), that:

(i) The Authorized Participant is a participant of DTC (as such a participant, a “DTC Participant”). If the Authorized Participant ceases to be a DTC Participant, the Authorized Participant shall give prompt notice to the Trustee of such event, and this Agreement shall terminate immediately as of the date the Authorized Participant ceased to be a DTC Participant.

(ii) Unless Section 2(a)(iii) applies, the Authorized Participant either (A) is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”), and is a member in good standing of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), or (B) is exempt from being, or otherwise is not required to be, licensed as a broker-dealer or a member of FINRA, and in either case is qualified to act as a broker or dealer in the states or other jurisdictions where the nature of its business so requires. In connection with the purchase or redemption of Baskets and any related offers or sales of Shares, the Authorized Participant will maintain any such registrations, qualifications and membership that are necessary for it to carry out its obligations under this Agreement in good standing and in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement. The Authorized Participant will comply with all applicable federal laws, the laws of the states or other jurisdictions concerned, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and with the Constitution, By-Laws and the FINRA/NASD Conduct Rules (if it is a FINRA member) to the extent the foregoing relate to the Authorized Participant’s transactions in and activities with respect to the Baskets, and will not offer or sell Shares in any state or jurisdiction where they may not lawfully be offered and/or sold.

(iii) If the Authorized Participant is offering or selling Shares in jurisdictions outside the several states, territories and possessions of the United States and is not otherwise required to be registered or qualified as a registered broker-dealer with the SEC or a member of FINRA as set forth in Section 2(a)(ii) above, the Authorized Participant will, in connection with such offers and sales, (A) observe the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which such offer and/or sale is made, (B) comply with prospectus delivery and other requirements applicable to it, and (C) conduct its business in accordance with the FINRA/NASD Conduct Rules, in each case to the extent the foregoing relate to the Authorized Participant’s transactions in, and activities with respect to, the Baskets.

(iv) The Authorized Participant has written policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with the anti-money laundering and related provisions of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“USA PATRIOT Act”), if the Authorized Participant is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act.

2

(v) The Authorized Participant has the capability to send and receive communications via authenticated telecommunication facility to and from the Trustee and the other agents of the Trust. The Authorized Participant shall confirm such capability to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee by the end of the Business Day, if so requested, before placing its first order with the Trustee (whether such order is to create or to redeem Baskets).

(b) The Sponsor represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that:

(i) (A) on the effective date of the Registration Statement and at each Time of Purchase, the Trust’s Registration Statement shall be effective and no stop order of the SEC with respect thereto shall have been issued and no proceedings for such purpose shall have been instituted or, to the Sponsor’s knowledge, will then be contemplated by the SEC; (B) the Registration Statement complies in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act, and the Prospectus complied as of its date, and complies at the Time of Purchase, in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the conditions to the Trust’s use of Form S-1 have been satisfied; (C) the Registration Statement does not, as of its effective date, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (D) the Prospectus will not, as of its date and at the Time of Purchase, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and, (E) as of 4:00 p.m. on the date of this Agreement (the “Time of Sale”), the documents comprising the Disclosure Package (as defined below) did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Sponsor makes no warranty or representation with respect to any statement contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package in reliance upon and in conformity with information concerning the Authorized Participant and furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Authorized Participant to the Sponsor expressly for use therein. The “Disclosure Package” is the Prospectus and any amendments and supplements thereto at the Time of Sale and any free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act (a “FWP”) prepared by, for or on behalf of the Sponsor before the Time of Sale and intended for general distribution;

(ii) the Shares, when issued and delivered against payment of consideration therefor, as provided in this Agreement, will be duly and validly authorized, issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of statutory and contractual preemptive rights, rights of first refusal and similar rights;

(iii) the Sponsor has been duly organized and, on the effective date of the Registration Statement and at each Time of Purchase, will be validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full power and authority to act as the sponsor of the Trust as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein, and has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement;

3

(iv) at the time the Sponsor makes an offer of Shares following the filing of the Registration Statement, neither the Trust nor the Sponsor will be an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act; and

(v) it will provide the Authorized Participant and its agents with reasonable access, through teleconference and at no cost to the Authorized Participant, during regular business hours to its personnel, and, if applicable, to use reasonable commercial efforts to provide access to the personnel of its counsel, sufficient, in the reasonable judgment of the Authorized Participant, for it to carry out due diligence with respect to this Agreement, as amended from time to time. The foregoing access through teleconference shall be limited to (i) once annually upon request from the Authorized Participant, and (ii) upon amendment, modification or supplementation to the Agreement, for any reason other than to comply with applicable law, rule or regulation. For any additional due diligence efforts, conducted through teleconference or otherwise, the Authorized Participant shall bear all reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith, including the reasonable costs of the Sponsor’s counsel.

Section 3. Orders.

(a) All orders to create or redeem Baskets shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, the Deposit Account Agreement, this Agreement and the Procedures. Each party will comply with such foregoing terms and procedures to the extent applicable to it. The Authorized Participant hereby consents to the use of recorded telephone lines whether or not such use is reflected in the Procedures, provided that the Trustee shall promptly provide copies of recordings of any such calls to the Authorized Participant upon reasonable request by the Authorized Participant unless such recordings have been erased or destroyed prior to receipt of such request in the normal course of business in accordance with the recording party’s general recordkeeping policies and procedures. The Trustee and Sponsor may issue additional or other procedures from time to time relating to the manner of creating or redeeming Baskets, and the Authorized Participant will comply with such procedures of which it has received notice in accordance with Section 18(c), provided that any revised procedures shall not apply retroactively to orders submitted prior to such change in procedures or prior to the time at which the Authorized Participant receives notice of any such change.

(b) The Authorized Participant acknowledges and agrees that each order to create a Basket (a “Purchase Order”) and each order to redeem a Basket (a “Redemption Order”, and each Purchase Order and Redemption Order, an “Order”) may not be revoked by the Authorized Participant upon its delivery to the Trustee. A form of Purchase Order is attached hereto as Exhibit B and a form of Redemption Order is attached hereto as Exhibit C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee agrees to use reasonable efforts to facilitate cancellation of an Order upon prompt inquiry from the Authorized Participant after placing such Order and only where the written cancellation of the Order has been delivered to the Trustee (by the method permitted for delivery of the Order to the Trustee) not later than the Order Cut-Off Time, or Early Order Cut-Off Time, as applicable.

(c) The delivery of the Shares to the Authorized Participant against deposits of Chinese Renminbi in connection with a Purchase Order may be suspended generally, or refused with respect to particular requested deliveries, during any period when the transfer books of the Trustee are closed or if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Trustee or the

4

Sponsor for any reason at any time or from time to time. Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement, the surrender of Shares to the Trustee for purposes of withdrawing Chinese Renminbi in connection with a Redemption Order may not be suspended.

Section 4. Chinese Renminbi Transfers. Any Chinese Renminbi to be transferred in connection with any Order shall be transferred between the Authorized Participant’s account and the Trust’s deposit accounts established for such transfers pursuant to the Deposit Account Agreement (the “Deposit Accounts”) in accordance with the Procedures. The Authorized Participant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses relating to or connected with any transfer of Chinese Renminbi between its account and the Deposit Accounts, including any late fees and other charges, if any, caused by the Authorized Participant and for which the Trustee becomes responsible in the event that Chinese Renminbi are not transferred from the Authorized Participant’s account in accordance with the Procedures.

Section 5. Fees.

(a) In connection with each Order by the Authorized Participant to create or redeem one or more Baskets, the Trustee shall charge, and the Authorized Participant shall pay to the Trustee, the transaction fee prescribed in the Trust Agreement applicable to such creation or redemption. The initial transaction fee shall be five hundred dollars ($500). The transaction fee may be waived or otherwise adjusted from time to time as set forth in the Prospectus.

(b) In addition to the fee described in Section 5(a), in connection with each Order by the Authorized Participant to create or redeem two or more Baskets, the Sponsor shall charge, and the Authorized Participant shall pay to the Sponsor, an additional transaction fee applicable to such creation or redemption. The additional transaction fee shall range from five hundred dollars ($500) to two thousand dollars ($2,000), based on the number of Baskets created or redeemed per Order. The additional transaction fee may be waived or otherwise adjusted from time to time as set forth in the Prospectus or the Procedures.

(c) Remittance of payment for the transaction fees set forth in Sections 5(a) and 5(b) shall be made in accordance with the Procedures.

Section 6. Authorized Persons. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time thereafter, the Authorized Participant shall deliver to the Trustee notarized and duly certified as appropriate by its secretary or other duly authorized official, a certificate in the form of Exhibit A setting forth the names and signatures of all persons authorized to give instructions relating to activity contemplated hereby or by any other notice, request or instruction given on behalf of the Authorized Participant (each, an “Authorized Person”). The Trustee may accept and rely upon such certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts set forth therein and shall consider such certificate to be in full force and effect until the Trustee receives a superseding certificate bearing a subsequent date, which shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 18(c), but which also may be delivered in PDF format via e-mail with the original concurrently sent to the Trustee by regular mail, postage prepaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, upon the termination or revocation of authority of any Authorized Person by the Authorized Participant, the Authorized Participant shall give written notice, including, but not limited to, electronic mail, of such fact to the Trustee and such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Trustee. The Trustee shall issue to each Authorized Person a unique personal identification number (the “PIN”) by which such Authorized Person shall be identified and by which instructions issued by the Authorized Participant hereunder shall be authenticated. The PIN shall be kept confidential by the Authorized Participant and shall only be provided to the Authorized Person. If, after issuance, the Authorized Person’s PIN is changed, the new PIN shall become effective on a date mutually agreed upon by the Authorized Participant and the Trustee. Upon receipt of notice of revocation of authority of an Authorized Person by the Authorized Participant, the Trustee shall revoke access of such Authorized Person to the electronic entry systems through which Order are submitted and, from that time, no longer accept Orders submitted by such person on behalf of the Authorized Participant.

5

Section 7. Redemption. To facilitate orderly delivery of Chinese Renminbi to the Authorized Participant’s Account on T+3, the Authorized Participant shall place with the Trustee on T+1 redemption Shares or collateral in the form of U.S. Dollars having a value at least equal to 105% of the NAV per Share of the redemption Shares to be delivered, which collateral shall be marked to market daily by the Trustee and the Authorized Participant until the delivery of the redemption Shares or the exercise of a buy-in by the Trust, as further described below. The Trustee shall return such collateral in its entirety upon delivery of all redemption Shares. The parties hereto further agree that the Trust, acting in good faith, may apply the collateral to purchase the undelivered Shares at any time after T+3 and the Authorized Participant agrees to accept liability for any shortfall between the cost to the Trust of purchasing such Shares and the value of the collateral. Neither the Sponsor nor the Trustee shall have any liability to the Authorized Participant for any application of the collateral or other action taken as provided in this paragraph.

The Authorized Participant further represents and warrants that it will not obtain an Order Number (as described in the Procedures) from the Trustee for the purpose of redeeming a Basket unless it first ascertains that (i) it owns outright or has full legal authority and legal and beneficial right to tender for redemption the Baskets to be redeemed and to receive the entire proceeds of the redemption, and (ii) such Baskets have not been loaned or pledged to another party, borrowed or temporarily obtained from another party and are not the subject of any agreement, including any repurchase agreement or securities lending agreement or any other arrangement, which, under the circumstances, would preclude the delivery of such Baskets to the Trustee on the third Business Day following the date of the Redemption Order.

Section 8. Role of Authorized Participant.

(a) The Authorized Participant acknowledges that, for all purposes of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement, the Authorized Participant is and shall be deemed to be an independent contractor and has and shall have no authority to act as agent for the Trust, the Sponsor, the Trustee or the Depository, in any matter or in any respect.

(b) The Authorized Participant will, to the extent reasonably practicable, make itself and its employees available, upon request, during normal business hours to consult with the Trustee, the Depository or their designees concerning the performance of the Authorized Participant’s responsibilities under this Agreement, provided that the Authorized Participant shall be under no obligation to divulge or otherwise discuss any information that the Authorized Participant believes is confidential or proprietary in nature.

(c) The Authorized Participant will maintain records of all sales of Shares made by or through it as required by law and will furnish copies of such records to the Sponsor upon the reasonable request of the Sponsor, subject to any privacy or confidentiality obligations it may have to its customers or other obligations arising under federal or state securities laws or the applicable rules of any self regulatory organization. The Sponsor will not use any information provided by the Authorized Participant pursuant to this paragraph or disclose such information to others except in connection with the performance of its duties and responsibilities hereunder, including making servicing and informational mailings related to the Trust, or except as may be required by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, all such information provided by the Authorized Participant shall be confidential and shall not be provided to any third parties or employees of the Trust or the Trustee other than those with a need to know or used for any purpose other than to satisfy regulatory requests.

Section 9. Indemnification.

(a) The Authorized Participant hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Trustee, the Depository, the Trust, the Sponsor, their respective direct or indirect affiliates (as defined below) and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an “AP Indemnified Party”) from and against any losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and the reasonable cost of investigation, including reasonable costs involved in defending itself in

6

connection with an investigation or proceeding) incurred by such AP Indemnified Party as a result of or in connection with: (i) any breach by the Authorized Participant of any provision of this Agreement, including any of its representations, warranties or covenants; (ii) any failure on the part of the Authorized Participant to perform any of its other obligations set forth in this Agreement; (iii) any failure by the Authorized Participant to comply with applicable laws and the rules and regulations of any governmental entity, any self-regulatory organization or futures exchange to the extent the foregoing relates to offers or sales of, transaction in, and activities with respect to Baskets; (iv) any actions of such AP Indemnified Party in reliance upon any instructions issued in accordance with the Procedures reasonably believed by the AP Indemnified Party to be genuine and to have been given by the Authorized Participant; or (v) (A) any representation by the Authorized Participant, its employees or its agents or other representatives about the Shares, any AP Indemnified Party or the Trust that is not consistent with the Trust’s Prospectus as then-supplemented made in connection with the offer or the solicitation of an offer to buy or sell Shares and (B) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact (1) contained in any research report, marketing material or sales literature described in Section 13(b) or in any FWP prepared by the Authorized Participant or (2) furnished by the Authorized Participant for use in a FWP prepared by, for or on behalf of the Sponsor, or any alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent that such statement or omission relates to the Shares, any AP Indemnified Party or the Trust, unless, in either case, such representation, statement or omission was made or included by the Authorized Participant at the written direction of the Sponsor or is based upon any omission or alleged omission by the Sponsor to state a material fact in connection with such representation, statement or omission necessary in order to make such representation, statement or omission not misleading.

(b) The Sponsor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Authorized Participant, its respective subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls such persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (each, a “Sponsor Indemnified Party”) from and against any losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the reasonable cost of investigation, including reasonable costs involved in defending itself in connection with an investigation or proceeding) incurred by such Sponsor Indemnified Party as a result of (i) any breach by the Sponsor of any provision of this Agreement that relates to the Sponsor, including its representations, warranties and covenants; (ii) any failure on the part of the Sponsor to perform any other obligation of the Sponsor set forth in this Agreement; (iii) any failure by the Sponsor to comply with applicable laws and the rules and regulations of any governmental entity, any self-regulatory organization or futures exchange to the extent the foregoing relates to offers or sales of, transaction in, and activities with respect to Baskets; or (iv) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or in any amendment thereof, or in the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in any FWP prepared by, for or on behalf of the Sponsor, or arising out of or based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, except those statements based on information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Authorized Participant expressly for use in the Registration Statement, amendment thereof, Prospectus, amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or FWP.

(c) (i) This Section 9 shall not apply to any AP Indemnified Party or any Sponsor Indemnified Party (each, an “Indemnified Party”) to the extent any such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses are incurred as a result of, or in connection with, any action or failure to act that constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the such Indemnified Party. (ii) The term “affiliate” in this Section 9 shall include, with respect to any person, entity or organization, any other person, entity or organization which directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such person, entity or organization.

7

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to an indemnified party under Sections 9(a) or 9(b) or insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Sponsor and the Trust, on the one hand, and by the Authorized Participant, on the other hand, from the services provided hereunder or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Sponsor and the Trust, on the one hand, and of the Authorized Participant, on the other hand, in connection with, to the extent applicable, the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Sponsor and the Trust, on the one hand, and the Authorized Participant, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the amount of Chinese Renminbi transferred to the Trust under this Agreement on the one hand (expressed in dollars) bears to the amount of economic benefit received by the Authorized Participant in connection with this Agreement on the other hand. To the extent applicable, the relative fault of the Sponsor on the one hand and of the Authorized Participant on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Sponsor or by the Authorized Participant and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses referred to in this Section 9(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any action, suit or proceeding (each a “Proceeding”) related to such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses.

(e) The Sponsor and the Authorized Participant agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 9(d) above. The Authorized Participant shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares created by the Authorized Participant and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damage which the Authorized Participant has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Authorized Participant, its partners, stockholders, members, directors, officers, employees and or any person (including each partner, stockholder, member, director, officer or employee of such person) who controls the Authorized Participant within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, or by or on behalf of the Sponsor, its partners, stockholders, members, directors, officers, employees or any person who controls the Sponsor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement. The Sponsor and the Authorized Participant agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any Proceeding against it and, in the case of the Sponsor, against any of the Sponsor’s officers or directors, in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares or in connection with the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

(g) The indemnifying party in each of the Sections 9(a) and 9(b) shall be entitled, at its option, to exercise sole control and authority over the defense and settlement of such action. The indemnifying party is not authorized to accept any settlement that does not provide the applicable Indemnified Party with a complete release or that imposes liability not covered by these indemnifications or places restrictions on the Indemnified Party, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. Each Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of any claim through its own counsel and at its own expense.

8

Section 10. Liability.

(a) Limitation of Liability. None of the Sponsor, the Trustee, the Authorized Participant, and the Depository shall be liable to each other or to any other person, including any party claiming by, through or on behalf of the Authorized Participant, for any losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses arising out of any mistake or error in data or other information provided to any of them by each other or any other person or out of any interruption or delay in the electronic means of communications used by them.

(b) Tax Liability. The Authorized Participant shall be responsible for the payment of any transfer tax, sales or use tax, stamp tax, recording tax, value added tax and any other similar tax or government charge applicable to the creation or redemption of any Basket made pursuant to this Agreement, regardless of whether or not such tax or charge is imposed directly on the Authorized Participant. To the extent the Trustee, the Sponsor or the Trust is required by law to pay any such tax or charge, the Authorized Participant agrees to promptly indemnify such party for any such payment, together with any applicable penalties, additions to tax or interest thereon.

Section 15. Third Party Beneficiaries. Each Indemnified Party, to the extent it is not a party to this Agreement, is a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Beneficiary”) and may proceed directly against the Authorized Participant or the Sponsor, as applicable (including by bringing proceedings against the Authorized Participant or the Sponsor, as applicable, in its own name) to enforce any obligation of the Authorized Participant or the Sponsor, as applicable, under this Agreement which directly or indirectly benefits such Third Party Beneficiary.

Section 16. Force Majeure. No party to this Agreement shall incur any liability for any delay in performance, or for the non-performance, of any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of any act of God or war or terrorism, acts and regulations and rules of any governmental or supra national bodies or authorities or regulatory or self-regulatory organization or failure of any such body, authority or organization for any reason, to perform its obligations, or any cause beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, any breakdown, malfunction or failure of transmission in connection with or other unavailability of any wire, communication or computer facilities, any transport, port or airport disruption, or any industrial action.

Section 17. Ambiguous Instructions. If a Purchase Order Form or a Redemption Order Form otherwise in good form contains order terms that differ from the information provided in the telephone call at the time of issuance of the applicable order number, the Trustee will attempt to contact one of the Authorized Persons of the Authorized Participant to request confirmation of the terms of the Order. If an Authorized Person confirms the terms as they appear in the Order, then the Order will be accepted and processed. If an Authorized Person contradicts the Order terms, the Order will be deemed invalid, and a corrected Order must be received by the Trustee. If the Trustee is not able to contact an Authorized Person, then the Order shall be accepted and processed in accordance with its terms notwithstanding any inconsistency from the terms of the telephone information. In the event that an Order contains terms that are not complete or are illegible, the Order will be deemed invalid and the Trustee will attempt to contact one of the Authorized Persons of the Authorized Participant to request retransmission of the Order.

The party resulting from any such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession shall notify the other parties hereto of the change. Any purported assignment in violation of the provisions hereof shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be automatically assigned to any successor Trustee or Sponsor at such time such successor qualifies as a successor Trustee or Sponsor under the terms of the Trust Agreement.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable New York conflict of laws principles) as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and of any federal court located in the Borough of Manhattan in such State in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any action taken or omitted hereunder, and waives any claim of forum non convenient and any objections as to laying of venue.

(j) Severance. If any provision of this Agreement is held by any court or any act, regulation, rule or decision of any other governmental or supra national body or authority or regulatory or self-regulatory organization to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, it shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable only to the extent so held and shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement and this Agreement will be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein, unless the Sponsor determines in its discretion, after consulting with the Trustee, that the provision of this Agreement that was held invalid, illegal or unenforceable does affect the validity, legality or enforceability of one or more other provisions of this Agreement, and that this Agreement should not be continued without the provision that was held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, and in that case, upon the Sponsor’s notification of the Trustee of such a determination, this Agreement shall immediately terminate and the Trustee will so notify the Authorized Participant immediately.

ATTACHMENT A

CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CHINESE RENMINBI SHARES AND

RELATED CHINESE RENMINBI TRANSACTIONS

Scope of Procedures and Overview

These procedures (the “Procedures”) describe the processes by which one or more Baskets of Chinese Renminbi Trust shares (the “Shares”) issuable by The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”) of the CurrencyShares^® Chinese Renminbi Trust (the “Trust”), may be purchased or, once Shares have been issued, redeemed by an Authorized Participant. Shares may be created or redeemed only in blocks of 50,000 Shares (each such block, a “Basket”). Because the issuance and redemption of Baskets also involve the transfer of Chinese Renminbi between the Authorized Participant and the Trust, certain processes relating to the underlying transfers of Chinese Renminbi also are described.

Under these Procedures, Baskets may be issued only in consideration for Chinese Renminbi transferred to and held in the Trust’s accounts maintained in London, England by London Branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depository (the “Depository”). Capitalized terms used in these Procedures without further definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Depositary Trust Agreement, dated as of [                    ], 2011, between Rydex Specialized Products LLC (the “Sponsor”), the Trustee, the registered owners and beneficial owners from time to time of Shares issued thereunder and all depositors (the “Trust Agreement”), or the Participant Agreement entered into by each Authorized Participant with the Sponsor and the Trustee.

For purposes of these Procedures, a “NY Business Day” is defined as any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day on which the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) is not open for regular trading at noon New York City time and a “Local Business Day” is defined as any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday or (ii) a day which has been designated a bank holiday in China.

Baskets are issued pursuant to the Prospectus, which will be delivered by the Sponsor to each Authorized Participant prior to its execution of the Participant Agreement, and are issued and redeemed in accordance with the Trust Agreement and the Participant Agreement. Baskets may be issued and redeemed on any Business Day by the Trustee in exchange for euro, which the Trustee receives from Authorized Participants or transfers to Authorized Participants, in each case on behalf of the Trust. Authorized Participants will be required to pay a nonrefundable per order transaction fee of $500 to the Trustee. Also, in connection with each Purchase Order and Redemption Order (each as defined below) for two or more Baskets, the Authorized Participant shall pay an additional transaction fee, as follows:

Baskets Created or Redeemed Per Order	Additional Transaction Fee
2	$	500
3	$	1,000
4	$	1,500
5 or more	$	2,000

The additional transaction fee described above shall be remitted to the Authorized Participant to the Trustee in accordance with these Procedures. The Trustee shall then remit payment of the additional transaction fee to the Sponsor. The fees described above shall collectively be referred to herein as “Transaction Fees”.

Authorized Participants and the Trust Transfer Chinese Renminbi and Baskets of Shares

Upon acceptance of the Participant Agreement by the Sponsor and the Trustee, the Trustee will assign a personal identification number (a “PIN”) to each person authorized to act for the Authorized Participant (an “Authorized Person”). This will allow the Authorized Participant through its Authorized Person(s) to place Purchase Order(s) or Redemption Order(s) (each as defined herein and, together, “Orders”) for Baskets.

Important Notes:

• Any Order is subject to rejection by the Trustee for the reasons set forth in the Trust Agreement.

• All Orders are subject to the provisions of the Participant Agreement relating to unclear or ambiguous instructions.

CREATION PROCESS

OVERVIEW

The following describes the process by which Baskets are created. In summary, an order to purchase one or more Baskets of Shares is placed by an Authorized Participant with the Trustee by 4:00 p.m. New York City (“NYC”) time on the NY Business Day that is the Order Date under the Trust Agreement (“CREATION T”), and a Basket is created on the third NY Business Day following CREATION T, unless that day is not a Local Business Day, in which case creation of the Basket shall be the next following day that is both a New York Business Day and a Local Business Day (“CREATION T+3”). In order for the creation of a Basket to occur, the Authorized Participant must transfer to the Trust Chinese Renminbi and the Trustee will transfer to the Authorized Participant’s account at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Baskets corresponding to the Chinese Renminbi the Participant has transferred to the Trust.

C1 CREATION T (PURCHASE ORDER TRADE DATE)

C1.1 By the 4:00 p.m. NYC time (the “Order Cut-Off Time”), or by 12:00 p.m. NYC time on the monthly dividend declaration date (the “Early Order Cut-Off Time”), the Authorized Participant submits to the Trustee the Authorized Participant’s order to create one or more Baskets of Shares (a “Purchase Order”) in accordance with the following process.

C1.1.1 By the Order Cut-Off Time or the Early Order Cut-Off Time, as applicable, an Authorized Person of the Authorized Participant calls the Trustee at 718-315-4970 or 4967, notifying the Trustee that the Authorized Participant wishes to place a Purchase Order for the Trustee to create an identified number of Baskets of Shares and requesting that the Trustee provide an order number. The Authorized Person provides a PIN as identification to the Trustee.

C1.1.2 Incoming telephone calls are queued and will be handled in the sequence received. The Trustee will process Purchase Orders if the phone call initiated by the Authorized Person is placed before the Order Cut-Off Time or the Early Order Cut-Off Time, as applicable, even though the remainder of the order process is not completed until after the Order Cut-Off Time or the Early Order Cut-Off Time. Accordingly, do not hang up and redial.

C1.1.3 Purchase Orders initiated after the Order Cut-Off Time or the Early Order Cut-Off Time , as applicable will be rejected.

C1.1.4 During the phone call from the Authorized Person of the Authorized Participant to initiate a Purchase Order, the Trustee will give an order number for the Authorized Participant’s Purchase Order.

C1.1.5 Within 15 minutes after receiving the order number from the Trustee, the Authorized Participant will fax the Purchase Order to the Trustee using the Purchase Order Form included as part of the Participant Agreement.

A-2

C1.1.6 The Purchase Order Form provides, among other things, for the number of Baskets that the Authorized Participant is ordering and the condition that the Purchase Order is subject to the Trustee’s receipt of the Transaction Fees (by DTC SPO Charge) prior to delivery of the Baskets on CREATION T+3.

C1.1.7 If the Trustee has not received the Purchase Order Form from the Authorized Participant within 15 minutes after the Authorized Person placed the phone call to the Trustee, the Trustee places a phone call to the Authorized Participant to inquire about the status of the order. If the Authorized Participant does not fax the Purchase Order Form to the Trustee within 15 minutes after the Trustee’s phone call, the Authorized Participant’s order is cancelled, but the Authorized Participant will remain liable to the Trustee for the Transaction Fees.

C1.2 If the Trustee has received the Authorized Participant’s Purchase Order Form on time in accordance with the preceding timing rules, then by 4:15 p.m. NYC time on CREATION T, the Trustee will return to the Participant a copy of the Purchase Order Form submitted, marking it “Affirmed subject to receipt of the Transaction Fees prior to delivery of Baskets on CREATION T+3” (Current process is to simply approve the order in the appropriate section of the form) and indicating, on a preliminary basis subject to confirmation, the number of Chinese Renminbi the Participant must transfer in exchange for the Basket(s).

C1.3 The Participant ensures that by 3:00 p.m. Hong Kong time (usually 2:00 a.m NYC EST time) on CREATION T+3 that sufficient Chinese Renminbi are wire transferred to the Depository.

C1.4 NOTES FOR AUTHORIZED PARTICIPANT (CREATION T)

C1.4.1 The Authorized Participant must be a participating member of DTC.

C1.4.2 The Authorized Participant must be able to transfer Chinese Renminbi via (RTGSplus, EBA EURO1 or TARGET). SWIFT BIC – CHASGB2L.

C1.4.3 The Authorized Participant must have signed and delivered the Participant Agreement to the Trustee. The Trustee will accept an Authorized Participant based on the representations made by the Authorized Participant in the Participant Agreement.
