On December 1, 2011, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Research Affiliates, LLC, filed a complaint naming the Trust, the Adviser and its affiliates, the Sub-Adviser and the Distributor as defendants. The complaint alleges that the fundamentally weighted index methodology utilized by the WisdomTree Domestic Equity ETFs and Global Equity ETFs (the Funds) infringes three of the plaintiffs patents and seeks both unspecified monetary damages to be determined and an injunction to prevent further infringement. An adverse resolution of this case could have a negative impact on the Funds and could adversely affect Fund performance. At this early stage of the proceedings it is not possible to determine the probability of any outcome or the potential amount of any loss. The Trust believes it has strong defenses and intends to vigorously defend against the plaintiffs claims.
