Closure of the WisdomTree WTI Crude Oil 3x Daily Leveraged ETP

Between December 2020 and December 2024, WMAI, WTMAML, WTUK and/or WT Ireland were served with eight separate writs of summons to appear before the Courts of Milan, Udine or Turin, Italy by investors seeking damages resulting from the closure of the WisdomTree WTI Crude Oil 3x Daily Leveraged ETP (“3OIL”) in March 2020. The product was dependent on the receipt of payments from a swap provider to satisfy payment obligations to the investors. Due to an extreme adverse move in oil futures relative to the oil futures’ closing price, the swap contract underlying 3OIL was terminated by the swap provider, which resulted in the compulsory redemption of 3OIL, all in accordance with the prospectus.

Since February 2022, seven of the eight actions have been resolved in the Company’s favor, of which two have been appealed. Total damages sought by all investors related to the remaining open and appealed claims were approximately €15,270 ($17,900) at June 30, 2025.

Additionally, in July 2023, WT Ireland received a letter from counsel on behalf of additional investors seeking damages of up to approximately €8,350 ($9,790) resulting from the closure of 3OIL. A writ of summons has not been served.

The Company continues to assess the open and appealed claims with its external counsel. The Company expects that losses, if any, arising from these claims will be covered under its insurance policies, less a $500 deductible. An accrual has not been made with respect to these matters at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
