Item 8.01. Other Events

On April 28, 2020 after the close of trading on NYSE Arca, Inc., the United States Oil Fund, LP (the “Fund”), effected a one-for-eight reverse share split, and post-split shares of the Fund begin trading on April 29, 2020. The Fund previously announced the reverse share split in its press release dated April 22, 2020. As a result of the reverse share split, every eight pre-split shares of the Fund were automatically exchanged for one post-split share. Immediately prior to the reverse share split there were 1,482,900,000 shares of the Fund issued and outstanding, each representing a net asset value (“NAV”) of $2.04. Immediately after the reverse share split and pre-settlement, the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Fund decreased to 185,362,500, not accounting for the treatment of fractional shares, and the net asset value relating to each share increased to $16.35. Shareholders of the Fund otherwise entitled to fractional shares as a result of the reverse share split will receive cash in lieu of such fractional shares. In connection with the reverse share split, the CUSIP number of the Fund shares changed to 91733T505. The Fund’s ticker symbol, “USO”, remains the same.
