174022 Proof 2 Tuesday, July 14, 2020 12:51
THIS DOCUMENT IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. If you
are in any doubt about what action you should take, you are recommended to consult your independent
financial adviser authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.
If you have sold or transferred all of your WisdomTree WTI Crude Oil Individual Securities (the “Affected
Securities”) of WisdomTree Commodity Securities Limited (the “Issuer”), please send this document,
together with the accompanying form of proxy, at once to the purchaser or transferee or stockbroker, banker
or other agent through whom the sale or transfer was made, for onward transmission to the purchaser or
transferee.
WisdomTree Commodity Securities Limited
WisdomTree WTI Crude Oil Individual Securities
(the Affected Securities)
Adjourned Meeting of the Security Holders
An explanatory letter from the Issuer giving details of the adjourned meeting is set out in this document.
Notice of an adjourned meeting of the holders of the Affected Securities to be held at the offices of R&H
Fund Services (Jersey) Limited, Ordnance House, 31 Pier Road, St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands, JE4
8PW at 10.00 a.m. on Tuesday, 28 July 2020 is set out at the end of this document. A form of proxy for use
by holders of Affected Securities is enclosed. To be valid, the form of proxy should be completed and
returned, in accordance with the instructions printed thereon, so as to be received by the Registrar,
Computershare Investor Services (Jersey) Limited, c/o The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY
as soon as possible but in any event so as to arrive not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the
meeting. Completion and return of a form of proxy will not preclude a holder of Affected Securities from
attending and voting in person at the meeting.
Under current Jersey government guidance, businesses are advised to avoid large gatherings of people and,
if physical meetings are held, businesses must put safeguards in place. The chairman of the meeting therefore
reserves the right to refuse entry to the meeting to any holder of Affected Securities if, in his/her discretion,
he/she considers it necessary to ensure compliance with Jersey government guidance and/or the safety of any
attendees. Accordingly, the Issuer recommends that all holders of Affected Securities exercise their vote by
proxy, rather than attend in person.
The Issuer wishes to ensure that holders of Affected Securities are able to vote and to raise questions on the
business of the meeting. The Issuer strongly encourages holders of Affected Securities to vote on the
resolution by completing the form of proxy appointing the chairman of the meeting as your proxy. Any
questions on the business of the meeting should be submitted in advance of the meeting by writing to
infoeu@wisdomtree.com by no later than 6.00 p.m. on Friday, 24 July 2020 and the Issuer will seek to
provide written answers to them and, where appropriate, will publish answers to frequently asked questions
on the Issuer's website at https://www.wisdomtree.eu/.
If holders of the Affected Securities wish to participate in the Meeting, arrangements will be made for them
to listen to the proceedings of the Meeting through a teleconference facility to be specified by the chairman
ahead of the Meeting. Holders of the Affected Securities should be aware that such holders who listen to the
Meeting via teleconference will not form part of the Meeting and will not be able to vote or ask questions at
the Meeting. Holders of the Affected Securities who wish to participate in the Meeting in this way are
directed to contact the Registrar by email at #JERegistryRMs@computershare.co.je by no later than
6.00 p.m. on Sunday, 26 July 2020, and will be required to provide proof of identity in a form acceptable to
174022 Proof 2 Tuesday, July 14, 2020 12:51
the Registrar (such as a copy passport and evidence to act on behalf of a corporate entity, if applicable).
Holders of the Affected Securities may attend virtually as previously described even if the Issuer gives notice
that holders of Affected Securities may attend the meeting in person.
WisdomTree would like to thank all holders of Affected Securities for their co-operation and understanding
in these challenging times.

PART I
LETTER FROM THE ISSUER
WisdomTree Commodity Securities Limited
(Incorporated and registered in Jersey under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 (as amended)
with registered number 90959. Regulated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission)
Registered office: Ordnance House, 31 Pier Road, St. Helier, Jersey JE4 8PW
15 July 2020
To all Holders of Affected Securities
Dear Security Holder
Adjourned Meeting of the Holders of the Affected Securities
This letter sets out the reasons for and further details of the Meeting.
The Meeting
In accordance with paragraph 4 of the Fourth Schedule to the Trust Instrument the meeting (the “Original
Meeting”) of the Affected Security Holders convened by the Issuer by notice included in the circular (the
“Original Circular”) to the Affected Security Holders dated 19 June 2020 was adjourned through lack of
quorum until 10.00 a.m. on Tuesday, 28 July 2020, being a date that is not less than 13 days nor more than
42 days after the Original Meeting. The Issuer is required to give Affected Security Holders at least seven
days’ notice of the Meeting and such notice can be found at the end of this document.
The Proposal to be voted on at the Meeting is the same as that set out in the Original Circular.
Further information
Set out in Part II of the Original Circular is more information in relation to the Multi-Tenor Index and a
comparison with the Original Index and in Part III of the Original Circular is some background information
on the terms of the Affected Securities and further details of the purpose and effect of the Extraordinary
Resolution to be proposed at the Meeting. The Supplemental Trust Instrument to effect the Proposal will be
substantially in the form set out in Schedule 1 to the Original Circular and the provisions of each of the
Amendment Letters are set out in Schedule 2 to the Original Circular.
Action to be taken
For the Proposal to become effective, it must be sanctioned by an Extraordinary Resolution of the holders
of the Affected Securities. In accordance with paragraph 19 of the Fourth Schedule to the Trust Instrument,
the Security Holders have the power to sanction any modification, abrogation or compromise of, or
arrangement in respect of, the rights of Security Holders against the Issuer and to authorise the Trustee to
concur in and execute any supplemental trust instrument embodying such modification. The Proposal varies
such rights.
The Extraordinary Resolution is an extraordinary resolution under the Trust Instrument which, to be passed,
must (on a poll) be carried by a majority consisting of the holders of not less than 75 per cent. by Price (or,
if no Price is determined on the date of the Meeting, the most recently determined Price) of the Affected
Securities voting on the poll. The quorum for the Meeting, as a meeting adjourned through lack of a quorum,
is one or more persons being holders of Affected Securities present in person or by proxy or (in the case of
a holder of Affected Securities which is a corporation) by its duly authorised representative whatever the
aggregate Price of the Affected Securities (or of the Micro Securities of which they are comprised) held by
them.
Under current Jersey government guidance, businesses are advised to avoid large gatherings of people and,
if physical meetings are held, businesses must put safeguards in place. The chairman of the Meeting
5
174022 Proof 2 Tuesday, July 14, 2020 12:51
therefore reserves the right to refuse entry to the Meeting to any holder of Affected Securities if, in his/her
discretion, he/she considers it necessary to ensure compliance with Jersey government guidance and/or the
safety of any attendees. Accordingly, the Issuer recommends that all holders of Affected Securities exercise
their vote by proxy, in the form of proxy enclosed with this circular, rather than attend in person.
Holders of the Affected Securities will find enclosed with this circular a form of proxy for use at the Meeting.
In order to vote you are urged to complete the form of proxy and return it as soon as possible, and in any
event so as to be received no later than 10.00 a.m. on Sunday, 26 July 2020, in accordance with the
instructions set out in the form. If the form of proxy is returned without any indication as to how the person
appointed proxy shall vote, the proxy, who may be a director of the Issuer, will exercise his discretion as to
how he votes or whether he abstains from voting. Completing and returning a form of proxy will not
preclude you from listening to the Meeting by teleconference (or attending the Meeting and voting in person
if attendance is permitted by the Issuer) if you wish to do so. Security Holders listening to the Meeting by
teleconference will not be able to vote by teleconference and should complete and return a form of proxy in
order to vote.
Affected Security Holders should note that a duly completed form of proxy deposited in respect of the
Original Meeting will continue to be valid for the Meeting unless previously revoked or superseded by a
further form of proxy prior to the Meeting.
Implementation of the Proposal
The proposed amendments to the Trust Instrument to effect the Proposal will take effect, assuming that the
Extraordinary Resolution is passed at the Meeting (or any adjournment thereof), once the Trustee has entered
into the Supplemental Trust Instrument with the Issuer, which is expected to occur shortly after the Meeting
(or any adjournment thereof), and the Issuer has made a further announcement specifying the date on which
the Proposal will take effect, the Effective Date being not earlier than the day following the date of such
notice.
Pursuant to the Amendment Letters entered between the Issuer and each Commodity Contract Counterparty
relating to each Facility Agreement, the Amendment Letters may not become effective without the
agreement thereto of each of the Commodity Contract Counterparties. If the Extraordinary Resolution is
passed at the Meeting (or any adjournment thereof), it is the intention of the Issuer to nominate the Effective
Date shortly thereafter, however Security Holders should note that such nomination will be subject to the
consent of each of the Commodity Contract Counterparties and prevailing market conditions. If the
Amendment Letters do not become effective by 31 December 2020 they will never become effective and the
Proposal will lapse.
Trustee
In accordance with its normal practice, The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c., as trustee, expresses no
opinion as to the merits of the Proposal, the terms of which were not negotiated by it. It has however
authorised it to be stated that, on the basis of the information contained in this document (which it advises
holders of Affected Securities to read carefully), it has no objection to the form in which the Proposal and
Notice of the Meeting are presented to holders of Affected Securities for their consideration.
Recommendation
The Issuer considers the passing of the Extraordinary Resolution to be in the best interests of the holders of
the Affected Securities as a whole and therefore recommends that such holders of Affected Securities vote
in favour of the Extraordinary Resolution.
Yours sincerely
Steven Ross
Director
for and on behalf of
WisdomTree Commodity Securities Limited

NOTES
1. A white form of proxy is enclosed with this notice for use by holders of Affected Securities. An Affected Security Holder entitled
to attend and vote at the Meeting is also entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote instead of him or her. The
proxy need not be an Affected Security Holder.
2. Under current Jersey government guidance, businesses are advised to avoid large gatherings of people and, if physical meetings
are held, businesses must put safeguards in place. The chairman of the Meeting therefore reserves the right to refuse entry to the
Meeting to any holder of Affected Securities if, in his/her discretion, he/she considers it necessary to ensure compliance with
Jersey government guidance and/or the safety of any attendees. Any questions on the business of the meeting should be submitted
in advance of the meeting by writing to infoeu@wisdomtree.com by no later than 6.00 p.m. on Friday, 24 July 2020 and the
Issuer will seek to provide written answers to them and, where appropriate, will publish answers to frequently asked questions
on the Issuer's website at https://www.wisdomtree.eu/.
3. To be effective, the instrument appointing a proxy and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed
or a certified copy of such power or authority must be either sent by email to
#UKCSBRS.ExternalProxyQueries@computershare.co.uk or deposited at the office of the Registrar, Computershare Investor
Services (Jersey) Limited, c/o The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY, not later than 10.00 a.m. on Sunday, 26 July
2020. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude an Affected Security Holder from listening to the Meeting
by teleconference (or attending the Meeting and voting in person if attendance is permitted by the Issuer) if the Affected Security
Holder wishes to do so. Security Holders attending the Meeting by teleconference will not be able to vote by teleconference and
should complete and return a form of proxy in order to vote.
4. One or more persons being Affected Security Holders present in person or by proxy (or, in the case of a corporation, by its duly
authorised representative) at the adjourned Meeting, whatever the aggregate Price of the Affected Securities held by them, will
form a quorum.
5. On a show of hands every Security Holder who is present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a Security Holder which is a
corporation) by its duly authorised representative shall have one vote. On a poll every Security Holder who is so present will
have one vote in respect of every US$1.00 of Price (as at the date of the Meeting or if no Price was determined on that date, the
most recently determined Price) attributable to the Affected Securities of which it is the holder or in respect of which it is the
proxy or duly authorised representative. The Extraordinary Resolution is an extraordinary resolution under the Trust Instrument
which, to be passed, must (on a poll) be passed by a majority consisting of the holders of not less than 75 per cent. by Price (or
if no Price is determined on the date of the Meeting, the most recently determined Price) of the Affected Securities voting on the
poll. For these purposes holders of the WisdomTree WTI Crude Oil Individual Securities will be treated as though they were
holders of the Micro Securities by reference to which the amount payable on Redemption of their Individual Securities is
calculated and not as though they were holders of the Individual Securities.
6. The Issuer, pursuant to article 40 of the Companies (Uncertificated Securities) (Jersey) Order 1999, specifies that only those
Affected Security Holders registered in the register of a type of Affected Security Holders as at 6.00 p.m. on Sunday, 26 July
2020 (or, in the event that the Meeting is adjourned, on the register of Affected Security Holders at 6.00 p.m. on the second day
prior to the date of the adjourned meeting) shall be entitled to attend or vote at the Meeting in respect of the Affected Securities
registered in their name at that time. Changes to entries on the registers of types of Affected Security Holders after 6.00 p.m. on
Sunday, 26 July 2020 (or, in the event that the Meeting is adjourned, on the registers of types of Affected Security Holders after
6.00 p.m. on the second day prior to the date of the adjourned meeting) shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any
person to attend or vote at the Meeting (or adjourned meeting).
