Item
8.01 Other Events
On
December 21, 2009, a termination trigger occurred under the trust agreement for
the MacroShares Major Metro Housing Up Shares (the "
Up
MacroShares
"). Pursuant to
Section 11.1(a)(xiii)
of the trust agreement for the Up MacroShares, a termination trigger will occur
if the amount of cash and treasuries on deposit in the MacroShares Major Metro
Housing Up Trust (the “
Up Trust
”) or the
MacroShares Major Metro Housing Down Trust (the “
Down
Trust
,” and together
with the Down Trust,” the “
Paired Trusts
”) is
less than fifty (50) million dollars on any business day and MacroShares Housing
Depositor, LLC (the “
Depositor
”) elects,
in its discretion, to terminate the Paired Trusts. The amount of cash
and treasuries on deposit in the Up Trust on December 21, 2009 was
$10,587,338.08 and the amount of cash and treasuries on deposit on that same
date in the Down Trust was $10,587,338.08. The Depositor has elected,
in its discretion, to terminate the Paired Trusts.
The trust
agreement provides that, following the occurrence of a termination trigger, the
next scheduled distribution date will be an "
Early Termination
Date
" on which all outstanding Up MacroShares will be redeemed at their
Per Share Underlying Value (as defined in the trust agreement) as of the last
Index Publication Day preceding such Early Termination Date. An
"
Index Publication
Day
" is the Business Day in each month on which the Index is calculated
and published by the Reference Index Provider.
The next
scheduled distribution date for the Up MacroShares is December 29, 2009, which
will be the Early Termination Date. The last day of trading for the
Up MacroShares on NYSE Arca will be December 28, 2009.
On
January 6, 2010,
a
final distribution will be made on the Up MacroShares to the holders of record
of those shares as of December 31, 2009. This final distribution will
be based on the underlying value of the Up MacroShares Trust. The underlying
value of the trust will be determined based on the November 24, 2009 release of
the Reference Value of the S&P/Case-Shiller Composite-10 Home Price
Index.
Authorized
Participants may continue to direct paired issuances of Up MacroShares until
December 28, 2009. In accordance with the trust agreement, paired
optional redemptions will only be permitted if, after the redemption, the assets
of the Up Trust do not fall below ten (10) million dollars.
From
December 22, 2009 until the last trading date on December 28, 2009, the full
amount of all incremental trust expenses of the Up Trust resulting from the
Early Termination will be allocated to the Up MacroShares. This
action will result in the reduction in the underlying value of each Up
MacroShare of approximately $0.85 to $0.90 per share above the impact on
underlying value of daily expense accruals in effect prior to December 21,
2009.
Attached
here as Appendix A is the press release issued by the Depositor announcing the
occurrence of the termination trigger.

upward or downward trend. There are risks associated with investing in a product
linked to a benchmark. A substitute price may be used as the reference price of
the benchmark asset.
