Please note that some of the funds listed below were impacted by Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) tax adjustments. PFICs are generally defined as non-U.S. corporations with 50% or more of their assets invested in cash or securities, or 75% or more of their gross income originating from passive sources. Passive sources include, but are not limited to rents, interest and dividends. As such, these foreign companies primarily generate their revenue from investments versus operations. The approximate percentage of the total distribution that resulted from the fund holding PFICs was as follows: EEB (1.3%), EEN (23.8%), XGC (6.9%), FAA (100%) and CQQQ (2.9%).

¹The name of the Fund will be changing to the Guggenheim Enhanced Core Bond ETF and the Fund’s ticker symbol will change to GIY, anticipated to occur on January 24, 2011 (or as soon as possible thereafter upon receipt of necessary regulatory approvals from the Securities and Exchange Commission). At that time, the Fund’s investment objective will change. The Guggenheim Enhanced Core Bond ETF’s investment objective will be to seek total return, comprised of income and capital appreciation. At that time, the Fund will cease to operate as an index-based ETF, and will begin to operate as an actively managed ETF. ²The name of the Fund will be changing to the Guggenheim Enhanced Ultra-Short Bond ETF and the Fund’s ticker symbol will change to GSY, anticipated to occur on January 24, 2011 (or as soon as possible thereafter upon receipt of necessary regulatory approvals from the Securities and Exchange Commission). At that time, the Fund’s investment objective will change. The Guggenheim Enhanced Ultra-Short Bond ETF’s investment objective will be to seek maximum current income, consistent with preservation of capital and daily liquidity. At that time, the Fund will cease to operate as an index-based ETF, and will begin to operate as an actively managed ETF. ³Prior to August 20, 2010, the Fund’s name was Claymore/Sabrient Stealth ETF and the Fund sought to replicate an index called the Sabrient Stealth Index.

Past performance is not indicative of future performance. To the extent any portion of the distribution is estimated to be sourced from something other than income, such as return of capital, the source would be disclosed on a Section 19(a)-1 letter located on the Fund’s website under the “Literature” tab. A distribution rate that is largely comprised of sources other than income may not be reflective of the Fund’s performance.
