Item 8.01. Other Events
On December 22, 2017, a press release was issued announcing a one-for-four reverse split of the shares of the United States Natural Gas Fund, LP (the “Registrant”). The reverse share split will take place at the close of trading on January 4, 2018 and will be effective on January 5, 2018. The reverse share split will increase the price per share of the Registrant with a proportionate decrease in the number of shares outstanding. As a result of the reverse share split, every four pre-split shares will result in the receipt of one post-split share, which will be priced four times higher than the net asset value of a pre-split share. Shareholders of the Registrant otherwise entitled to fractional shares as a result of the reverse share split will receive cash in lieu of such fractional shares. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
