Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On September 4, 2018, USCF Funds Trust (the “Registrant”), and United States 3x Short Oil Fund (“USOD”), a series of the Registrant, received a notice from the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “NYSE”), notifying the Registrant that USOD is not in compliance with the requirement under Rule 8.200E(d)(2)(c) that USOD meet the NYSE’s continued listing standard to maintain a market value of not less than $1,000,000.

The letter also states that USOD is eligible to receive an initial six-month period (the “Cure Period”) to regain compliance with Rule 8.200E(d)(2)(c) if the Registrant provides a written response to the NYSE describing its plan to cure the deficiency during the Cure Period and the NYSE accepts the plan. To regain compliance during the Cure Period, the Registrant will be required to demonstrate that it has a market value of $1,000,000 or more for thirty or more trading days. If there is not a demonstrable increase in USOD’s market value at the end of the Cure Period, the Staff of the NYSE would not be expected to grant any additional time to regain compliance. If USOD is not eligible for a second compliance period, then the NYSE Staff will immediately initiate delisting proceedings under NYSE rules.

The Registrant intends to submit a written response to the NYSE with a plan for USOD to regain compliance with Rule 8.200E(d)(2)(c) during the Cure Period, and, if accepted by the NYSE, implement the plan.

There can be no assurance that USOD will be able to regain compliance with the market value requirement or otherwise maintain compliance with the other NYSE listing requirements. See, Item 1A. Risk Factors - Other Risks - “NYSE may halt trading in the Fund’s shares, which would adversely impact an investor’s ability to sell shares” and “A Fund could terminate at any time and cause the liquidation and potential loss of an investor’s investment and could upset the overall maturity and timing of an investor’s investment portfolio” in the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
