SPROTT PHYSICAL GOLD TRUST UPDATES ITS "AT-THE-MARKET" EQUITY PROGRAM

Sprott Physical Gold Trust has updated its at-the-market (ATM) equity program to issue an additional $1-billion (U.S.) of units of the trust in the United States and Canada pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated April 11, 2025, to the short form base shelf prospectus dated Sept. 6, 2024. Copies of the prospectus supplement and the base shelf prospectus are available on EDGAR at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's website and on SEDAR+ maintained by the Canadian Securities Administrators. Distributions will no longer be made under previous ATM program prospectus supplements, including the amended and restated prospectus supplement dated Dec. 6, 2024.

Distributions under the ATM program will be completed in accordance with the terms of an amended and restated sales agreement dated Dec. 6, 2024, between Sprott Asset Management LP (as the manager of the trust), the trust, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Virtu Americas LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp., and Canaccord Genuity LLC (the U.S. agents), and Virtu Canada Corp., Cantor Fitzgerald Canada Corp. BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. and Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the Canadian agents). The sales agreement is available on EDGAR at the SEC's website and on SEDAR+.

Sales of units through the agents, acting as agent, will be made through at-the-market issuances on the NYSE Arca and the Toronto Stock Exchange or other existing trading markets in the United States and Canada at the market price prevailing at the time of each sale, and, as a result, sale prices may vary. None of the U.S. agents are registered as a dealer in any Canadian jurisdiction and, accordingly, the U.S. agents will only sell units on marketplaces in the United States and are not permitted to and will not, directly or indirectly, advertise or solicit offers to purchase any units in Canada. The Canadian agents may only sell units on marketplaces in Canada.

The volume and timing of distributions under the ATM program, if any, will be determined in the trust's sole discretion. The trust intends to use the proceeds from the ATM program, if any, to acquire physical gold bullion in accordance with the trust's objective and subject to the trust's investment and operating restrictions.

The offering under the ATM program is being made pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated April 11, 2025, to the trust's U.S. base prospectus included in its registration statement on Form F-10 (file No. 333-281989) filed with the SEC on Sept. 6, 2024, and pursuant to the prospectus supplement and the base shelf prospectus. The U.S. prospectus supplement, the U.S. base prospectus and the registration statement are available on EDGAR at the SEC's website, and the prospectus supplement and the base shelf prospectus are available on SEDAR+.

Before you invest, you should read the offering documents and other documents that the trust has filed for more complete information about the trust, the sales agreement and the ATM program.

Listing of the units sold pursuant to the ATM program on the New York Stock Exchange and the TSX will be subject to fulfilling all applicable listing requirements.

We seek Safe Harbor.
