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

On August 25, 2016, WisdomTree Coal Services, LLC (the “Sponsor”), the commodity pool operator of WisdomTree Coal Fund (the “Fund”), notified the NYSE Arca stock exchange that the Sponsor has determined to voluntarily close the Fund and delist and liquidate the Fund’s shares (“Shares”) from trading on the NYSE Arca and to withdraw the Shares from registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). It is anticipated that trading of the Shares on the NYSE Arca will cease on or about September 22, 2016. Thereafter, each Share outstanding will be automatically redeemed by the Sponsor on September 29, 2016, in exchange for cash in an amount equal to the net asset value of the Share as of the close of business on that date.

WisdomTree Investments, Inc., and the Sponsor announced the foregoing via a press release dated August 25, 2016. A copy of the press release announcing the intention to delist and deregister the Fund’s Shares is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference.
