Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 25, 2026, The Marygold Companies, Inc. (“TMC”) publicly announced its entry into a definitive agreement with Madison Dearborn Partners (“MDP”), a leading private equity firm based in Chicago, for TMC to become a privately held company in an all-cash transaction (the “Transaction”). TMC is the sole shareholder of USCF Investments, Inc., which is the holding company and sole member of United States Commodity Funds LLC (“USCF”), the general partner of United States 12 Month Oil Fund, LP.
The Transaction is expected to close during the first half of 2027 or earlier upon satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the approval of TMC stockholders, regulatory approvals, and certain change-of-control approvals. Upon completion of the Transaction, TMC will become a privately held company and its common stock will no longer be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. TMC and MDP have indicated that, after the close of the Transaction and at the appropriate time, MDP and TMC’s leaders will execute on TMC’s previously announced transformation strategy to refocus USCF’s business. There is no guarantee that the Transaction will be completed within the expected time frame, or at all.
