Item 8.01. Other Events
On April 22, 2020, a press release was issued announcing a
one-for-eight reverse split of the shares of the United States Oil Fund, LP (the “Registrant”). The reverse share split
will take place at the close of trading on April 28, 2020 and will be effective on April 29, 2020. The reverse share split will
increase the price per share of the Registrant with a proportionate decrease in the number of shares outstanding. As a result of
the reverse share split, every eight pre-split shares will result in the receipt of one post-split share, which will be priced
eight times higher than the net asset value of a pre-split share. Shareholders of the Registrant otherwise entitled to fractional
shares as a result of the reverse share split will receive cash in lieu of such fractional shares. A copy of the press release
is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits
