DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDER,

Your Fund’s Managing Owner is asking all shareholders to consider and approve a reorganization of the WisdomTree Continuous Commodity Index Fund (“GCC” or your “Fund”) into and with the WisdomTree Enhanced Commodity Strategy Fund (the “New Fund”) at a Special Shareholder Meeting on November 24, 2020 (the “Shareholder Meeting”).

WE NEED ALL RETAIL SHAREHOLDERS TO PARTICIPATE IN VOTING

Since I last wrote to you, more than 94% of GCC shares voted supported the proposal. GCC also received a FOR recommendation from Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”), the world’s leading provider of corporate governance oversight.

If you would like to participate in the Shareholder Meeting, please follow the registration instructions set forth in the box on the reverse side.

Please continue to stay safe and healthy and thank you in advance for voting.

SINCERELY,

JEREMY SCHWARTZ
