Departure of Heather Bonner
Effective February 2, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), Heather Bonner, having provided notice of her resignation, shall cease serving as Treasurer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) of FD Funds Management LLC (the “Sponsor”). Heather Bonner’s decision to resign was not the result of any disagreement relating to the Sponsor or the Fund’s operations, policies or practices.
Appointment of Craig S. Brown
In connection with Heather Bonner’s resignation as Treasurer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) of the Sponsor, on the Effective Date, Craig S. Brown will serve as Treasurer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) of the Sponsor.
Craig S. Brown, Treasurer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer)
Mr. Brown is a Vice President (2015-present) and is an employee of Fidelity Investments. Mr. Brown serves as Assistant Treasurer of FIMM, LLC (2021-present). Previously, Mr. Brown served as Assistant Treasurer of certain Fidelity funds (2019-2022).
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Fidelity Solana Fund (the “Trust”) intends to make quarterly cash distributions of income generated from its staking activities to holders of the Trust’s shares of beneficial interest. The distributions will consist of net staking income after deduction of any Trust expenses. To fund the cash distributions, the Trust may sell staking rewards and/or a portion of its SOL, which may affect the Trust’s exposure to SOL and the market price and/or net asset value of the Shares.
The Trust intends to make cash distributions at least quarterly in order to rely on the safe harbor conditions established by IRS Revenue Procedure 2025‑31 applicable to grantor trusts that stake digital assets. The IRS may modify, clarify, or withdraw such guidance, and there can be no assurance as to the tax treatment of any distributions to shareholders. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers about the U.S. federal, state, local, and non‑U.S. tax consequences of holding Shares and receiving distributions.
The Sponsor expects to declare distributions on a quarterly basis, with record and payment dates set by the Sponsor and/or in accordance with the rules of the Trust’s listing exchange. The Trust’s initial distribution is expected to be made on or about February 17, 2026, to shareholders of record as of February 13, 2026. The amount and timing of any future distributions will depend on, among other things, network staking yields, validator performance, protocol rules (including any lock‑up or unbonding periods), slashing or downtime events, operational considerations, fees and expenses, and market conditions. Distributions are not guaranteed, and the Sponsor may modify, suspend, or terminate distributions at any time, in its sole discretion.
Staking involves operational and protocol risks, including slashing, changes to network reward rates, and periods during which staked assets may be illiquid. These factors could reduce or eliminate distributable income and may affect the timing of distributions. Additional information regarding the Trust’s staking practices, service providers, fees, and risks is described in the Trust’s SEC filings.
