MacroShares Oil (UCR and DCR) Reaches an Early Termination Trigger
The NYMEX light sweet crude oil futures contract for June closed at $114.36 on Wednesday, April 16th at 2:30. This marked the third consecutive business day that the reference price for MacroShares Oil Up and Down (UCR and DCR respectively) closed at or above $111. This triggered an early termination event for the securities.
The last day of trading for UCR and DCR will be June 25, 2008.
On July 3rd, a final distribution payment will be made to the UCR and DCR shareholders of record as of June 30th based on the underlying value of the Up and Down MacroShares Trusts. The underlying value of the trusts will be determined based on the June 25th closing price of the NYMEX light sweet crude oil futures contract for August.
MacroShares Oil was launched on the American Stock Exchange on November 30, 2006, as the first product in a family of new, patented securities. MacroShare Oil’s unique paired structure is comprised of an Up Trust (UCR) and a Down Trust (DCR) that are equally collateralized. As MacroShares Up increases in value, MacroShares Down decreases in value by the same dollar amount.
Sam Masucci, CEO of MacroMarkets, which created and manages the products, commented “UCR and DCR were our first MacroShare products. Since they launched, we’ve been educating investors on this unique structure, and gauging the market’s reaction. Currently, the securities have over $300 Million in assets under management and are trading over 3 Million shares per day, which clearly demonstrate the market’s acceptance and willingness to trade the product.”
Many investors have asked if there will be another MacroShare Oil product. Sam noted, “We recently filed a prospectus with the SEC to offer a new MacroShares Oil product based on a benchmark Crude Oil price of $100. MacroShares $100 Oil, as well as several other new MacroShares products, are currently under development and are in direct response to the market’s interest in applying our unique structure to important asset classes.”
