Note 3: Related Party Agreements and Transactions

Administrator

Fidelity Service Company, Inc., an affiliate of the Sponsor, serves as the Trust’s administrator (the “Administrator”). Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides necessary administrative, tax and accounting services and financial reporting for the maintenance and operations of the Trust, including valuing the Trust’s SOL and calculating the net asset value (“NAV”) per Share of the Trust (“Trust’s NAV”) and supplying pricing information to the Sponsor for the relevant website. In addition, the Administrator makes available the office space, equipment, personnel and facilities required to provide such services. All fees and expenses incurred by the Trust related to services performed by the Administrator are borne by the Sponsor.

Distributor

Fidelity Distributors Company LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, (“FDC” or the “Distributor”) is responsible for reviewing and approving the marketing materials prepared by the Sponsor for compliance with applicable SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) advertising laws, rules, and regulations pursuant to a marketing agreement with the Trust. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) and a member of FINRA. All fees and expenses incurred by the Trust related to services performed by the Distributor are borne by the Sponsor.

Index Services

Fidelity Product Services LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, (the “Index Provider”) is responsible for the methodology and oversight of the Index. Coin Metrics, Inc. is the third-party, independent calculation agent for the Index. All fees and expenses incurred by the Trust related to services performed by the Index Provider are borne by the Sponsor.

Sponsor Fee

On October 27, 2025, the Trust contractually agreed to pay the Sponsor a unified fee of 0.25% of the Trust’s SOL Holdings (the “Sponsor Fee”), effective as of the date of the registration statement. The Trust’s “SOL Holdings” is the quantity of the Trust’s SOL plus any cash or other assets held by the Trust represented in SOL as calculated using the Index price, less its liabilities (which include estimated accrued but unpaid fees and expenses) represented in SOL as calculated using the Index price. The Sponsor Fee is paid by the Trust to the Sponsor as compensation for services performed under the Trust Agreement. The Sponsor is obligated to assume and pay all fees and other expenses incurred by the Trust in the ordinary course of its affairs, excluding taxes and the Staking Fees, but including: (i) the fees of the Trust’s third-party service providers including, but not limited to, the Distributor, the Administrator, any custodian, the Transfer Agent, the Index Provider and the Trustee, (ii) the fees and expenses related to the listing, quotation or trading of the Shares on the Exchange (including customary legal, marketing and audit fees and expenses), (iii) legal fees and expenses incurred in the ordinary course, (iv) audit fees, (v) regulatory fees, including, if applicable, any fees relating to the registration of the Trust and Shares, including any ongoing filings related to the offering of Shares, under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) or the 1934 Act, (vi) printing and mailing costs, (vii) costs of maintaining the Trust’s website and (viii) applicable license fees (each, a “Sponsor-paid Expense” and collectively, the “Sponsor-paid Expenses”), provided that any expense that qualifies as an Extraordinary Expense will not be deemed to be a Sponsor-paid Expense. There is no cap on the amount of Sponsor-paid Expenses. The Sponsor has also assumed all fees and expenses related to the organization and offering of the Trust and the Shares.

On October 29, 2025, the Trust and the Sponsor entered into a Fee Waiver Agreement in which the Sponsor agreed to waive the Sponsor Fee in its entirety for the duration of the waiver period. The waiver period began on the date the Trust first issued Shares, which commenced trading on the Exchange November 18, 2025, following the effectiveness of the registration statement, and ends after a period of six months, unless extended by the Sponsor in its sole discretion.

The Trust may incur certain extraordinary, nonrecurring expenses that are not Sponsor-paid Expenses, including, but not limited to, brokerage and transactions costs associated with the sale or transfer of SOL, taxes and governmental charges, expenses and costs of any extraordinary services performed by the Sponsor (or any other service provider) on behalf of the Trust to protect the Trust, the Trust’s assets, or the interests of Shareholders, any indemnification of the custodians or other agents, service providers or counterparties of the Trust, extraordinary legal fees and expenses, including any legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with litigation, regulatory enforcement or investigation matters (collectively, “Extraordinary Expenses”). To the extent on-chain transaction fees are incurred in connection with transfers or sales of SOL to pay Extraordinary Expenses, the Trust will bear such fees.

The Administrator calculates the Sponsor Fee in respect of each day based on the prior day’s SOL Holdings. The Sponsor Fee accrues daily in SOL and is payable monthly in SOL or cash. To the extent the Trust does not have cash readily available, the Sponsor will cause the transfer or sale of SOL in such quantity as may be necessary to permit the payment of Trust expenses and liabilities not assumed by the Sponsor. The amount of SOL transferred or sold may vary from time to time depending on the actual sales price of SOL relative to the Trust’s expenses and liabilities.

Staking Fees

The node operators, the custodians and the Sponsor are each entitled to receive a portion of the staking rewards generated by the node operators’ staking activities (the “Staking Fees”), allocated from the staking rewards that the Trust receives from the Solana network. The Trust allocates to the Sponsor, as partial consideration for the Sponsor arranging for the staking of the Trust’s SOL, a staking fee equal to 15% of the amount of staking rewards received by the Trust from the Solana network. The staking fee allocated to the Sponsor is subsequently shared amongst the Sponsor, custodian(s), node operator(s) or other third-parties engaged by the Sponsor or the Trust to stake the Trust’s SOL.

On November 17, 2025, the Fee Waiver Agreement was amended and restated and the Sponsor agreed to waive the Staking Fees in their entirety on the staking rewards received by the Trust generated from the first $1 billion of Trust assets for the duration of the waiver period. Income from staking rewards would have been lower during the period if the staking fee had not been waived.
