* The table above provides a hyperlink to the relevant prospectus and supplements thereto for each of our ETRACS ETNs, which are identified by their names. For more information on each ETRACS ETN, see "List of ETNs”.
** "Current Yield (annualized)” equals the current Coupon Amount and the two immediately preceding Coupon Amounts, multiplied by four (to annualize such coupons), divided by the closing Current Indicative Value of the ETN on its current Coupon Valuation Date rounded to two decimal places for ease of analysis. The Current Yield is not indicative of future coupon payments, if any, on the ETN. You are not guaranteed any coupon or distribution amount under the ETN.
Note: SDYL, LMLB, HDLB, SMHB and PFFL pay a variable monthly coupon linked to 2 times the cash distributions, if any, on the respective underlying index constituents, less withholding taxes, if any. CEFD and MVRL pay a variable monthly coupon linked to 1.5 times the cash distributions, if any, on the respective underlying index constituents, less withholding taxes, if any. Variations in the amount of monthly distributions will lead to large variations in the Current Yield as calculated above. As such, the Current Yield for each is not indicative of future coupon payments, if any, on these ETNs.

Granite (NYSE:GVA) announced today that it has begun work for a $13 million task order at the Homewood, Illinois Station as part of a Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Stations Program by The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak). The project contract will be included in Granite’s third quarter 2020 backlog.
Granite was one of eight contractors selected in 2019 to participate in Amtrak’s ADA Stations Program MACC. The $100 million indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) competitive MACC is comprised of task orders ranging from $25 thousand to $25 million, for five base years ending in 2023, plus five, one-year options through 2028. Granite is currently completing four ADA compliance upgrade projects that were previously awarded by Amtrak under this MACC Program, two in Montana and two in New York.
Amtrak’s ADA Stations Program is a comprehensive program to make the Amtrak-served stations for which Amtrak has ADA responsibility, ADA compliant and accessible. In this task order, Granite will be responsible for the renovation of a portion of the existing Homewood station's building and surrounding site. Scope of work will include modifications to the sidewalks and parking lot, restrooms, existing waiting room seating and wall mounted accessories; and replacement of station entry doors, and ramps at both station entrances and landings. Additional renovations include interior and exterior signage, and the replacement of the existing track level asphalt platform with a new 650-foot boarding platform; the construction of a weather protected ramp from the station level to the existing tunnel; and modernization of platform elevator.
"Given that this project includes multiple stakeholders and a fast-paced schedule, Granite's team has provided and will maintain a detailed phasing plan to ensure this project is safe, high-quality and is completed on-time,” said Granite Regional Vice President Benj Harding. "The robust phasing plan has been developed to minimize disruption to the traveling public.”
Construction is underway and expected to conclude in December 2021.
