****

The board of directors of United States Commodity Funds LLC, the sponsor of the Trust and its series, including USAG, has determined that USAG could not continue its business and operations in an economically efficient manner due to USAG’s inability to attract sufficient assets, thereby hindering its ability to operate efficiently.

As a result, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”), on September 6, 2018, USAG will cease accepting orders for Creation Baskets and Redemption Baskets from authorized participants. Trading in the shares of USAG on the NYSE Arca will be suspended prior to the open of the market on September 7, 2018, and beginning on that date, there can be no assurance that there will be a market for the shares. Shareholders may sell their holdings before September 7, 2018 and customary brokerage charges may apply to such transactions.

On or about September 6, 2018, USAG will begin the process of liquidating its portfolio. As a result, USAG will increase its cash holdings and will no longer be managed in accordance with its investment objective.

The liquidation date for USAG will be September 12, 2018 and the proceeds of the liquidation are scheduled to be sent to all remaining shareholders on or about September 13, 2018. The Trust will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement on behalf of USAG to terminate the offering of registered and unsold shares of USAG.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, these distributions to shareholders will be treated as liquidating distributions and shareholders will recognize gain or loss based on the difference between the amount of cash received as part of the liquidating distribution and their adjusted basis in their shares (taking into account all allocations of income, gain, loss, or deduction for the year of liquidation). Items of income, gain, loss, or deduction recognized as a result of the liquidation of USAG’s portfolio will be allocated for U.S. federal tax purposes to the shareholders. Any other items of income, gain, loss, or deduction not attributable to the liquidation of USAG’s portfolio will be allocated for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with USAG’s general allocation conventions. For further information concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of acquiring, holding, and disposing of shares, please review the section titled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the Prospectus. In addition, shareholders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the impact of the liquidation of USAG in light of their own unique circumstances.
