emerging growth company regulatory

"Emerging growth company"

An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.

On May 19, 2026, CoinDesk Indices, Inc. (the “Index Provider”) announced a change to the Digital Asset Trading Platforms used to calculate the Index Price (the “Constituent Trading Platforms”) for Grayscale Litecoin Trust (LTC) (the “Trust”).

Effective May 19, 2026, the Index Provider added OSL (LTC-U.S. Dollar (“USD”) trading pair), to the CoinDesk Litecoin Benchmark Rate (the “Index”) due to the trading platform meeting the Index Provider’s conditions for inclusion, and did not remove any Constituent Trading Platforms as part of its scheduled monthly review. As of the date of this current report, the Constituent Trading Platforms included in the Index Price are as follows:

•

LTC-USD Trading Pairs: Bitstamp by Robinhood, Crypto.com, Gemini, HashKey, Kraken, LMAX Digital, OKX, and OSL.

•

LTC-U.S. Dollar Coin Trading Pairs: Binance, Bullish, Bybit, Gate, Kraken, and OKX.

The Index Provider may change the trading venues that are used to calculate an Index Price, or otherwise change the way in which an Index Price is calculated, at any time. For example, the Index Provider has scheduled monthly reviews, in which it may add or remove Constituent Trading Platforms that satisfy or fail the criteria described in “Item 1. Business—Overview of the LTC Industry and Market—The Index and the Index Price” in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 5, 2025.
