EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the Form F-10 Registration Statement (File No. 333-156055), as amended (the “Registration Statement”) of Central GoldTrust (the “Trust”) filed on December 10, 2008.
As previously disclosed, all outstanding units of the Trust (other than a single unit held by Sprott Asset Management Gold Bid LP) were automatically redeemed in exchange for units of Sprott Physical Gold Trust following the Sprott offer and related merger transaction, which closed on January 15, 2016.
