| Item 3.01. | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On January 30, 2015, United States Commodity Funds LLC (“USCF”), the Sponsor of United States Commodity Index Funds Trust (the “Trust”) and its series United States Metals Index Fund (“USMI”) announced that its officers and members had authorized a plan to (i) liquidate USMI, (ii) terminate the continuous offering of USMI, and (iii) deregister USMI under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and therefore, terminate the Trust’s obligation to include USMI on its periodic and current reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Sponsor has submitted written notice to the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) of its decision to liquidate USMI, terminate the offering and to terminate USMI’s obligations under the Exchange Act.
USCF intends to file a post-effective amendment on behalf of the Trust and USMI to terminate the offering of the registered and unsold shares of USMI. The NYSE Arca will file a Form 25 with the SEC to effect the withdrawal of the listing of USMI from the NYSE Arca. Delisting from the NYSE Arca will become effective 10 days after the filing date of the Form 25. Provided that USMI continues to meet the applicable legal requirements, USCF intends to file a Form 15 on behalf of the Trust and USMI with the SEC in early April 2015 to suspend the Trust’s duty to include USMI on its reports under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. USCF expects the termination of registration will become effective 90 days after the date of the filing of the Form 15 with the SEC.
