Item 8.01. Other Events.

On June 12, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has declared effective a registration statement on Form S-3 (333- 237750) that was filed by the United States Oil Fund, LP (“USO” ), a Delaware limited partnership, on April 20, 2020, which registers an additional 1,000,000,000 shares that are now available for purchase by USO’s Authorized Purchasers. USO previously announced in a current report on Form 8-K that was filed on April 21, 2020 (“April 21 Form 8-K”), that it had suspended the ability of the USO Authorized Purchasers to purchase new creation baskets until such time as the SEC declared the new USO registration statement for the additional shares to be effective. As indicated in the April 21 Form 8-K, USO is issuing this current report on Form 8-K to announce the effectiveness of the above-mentioned registration statement offering the additional, new shares as well as USO’s ability to resume offering Creation Baskets to its Authorized Purchasers as of the date hereof.
