Item 8.01

Other Events.

On May 15, 2009, a termination trigger occurred under the trust agreement for the MacroShares $100 Oil Down Shares (the " Down MacroShares "). Pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(xi) of the trust agreement for the Down MacroShares, a termination trigger will occur if the amount of cash and treasuries on deposit in the MacroShares $100 Oil Down Trust (the “ Down Trust ”) or the MacroShares $100 Oil Up Trust (the “ Up Trust ,” and together with the Down Trust,” the “ Paired Trusts ”) is less than fifty (50) million dollars on any business day and Macro Securities Depositor, LLC (the “ Depositor ”) elects, in its discretion, to terminate the Paired Trusts. The amount of cash and treasuries on deposit in the Down Trust on May 15, 2009 was $10,211,708 and the amount of cash and treasuries on deposit on that same date in the Up Trust was $10,211,708. The Depositor has elected, in its discretion, to terminate the Paired Trusts.

The trust agreement provides that, following the occurrence of a termination trigger, the next scheduled distribution date will be an " Early Termination Date " on which all outstanding Down MacroShares will be redeemed at their Per Share Underlying Value (as defined in the trust agreement) on the last Price Determination Day preceding such Early Termination Date. A " Price Determination Day " is any day on which the Applicable Reference Price of Crude Oil (as defined in the trust agreement) is established based upon trading of the NYMEX light sweet crude oil futures contract by open outcry on the facilities of NYMEX.

The next scheduled distribution date for the Down MacroShares is June 26, 2009, which will be the Early Termination Date. The last day of trading for the Down MacroShares on NYSE Arca will be June 25, 2009.

On July 6, 2009, a final distribution will be made on the Down MacroShares to the holders of record of those shares as of June 30, 2009.  This final distribution will be equal to the Per Share Underlying Value of the Down MacroShares as of the last Price Determination Day preceding the Early Termination Date. The last Price Determination Day will be June 25, 2009.

Authorized Participants may continue to direct paired issuances of Down MacroShares until June 25, 2009. In accordance with the trust agreement, paired optional redemptions will only be permitted if, after the redemption, the assets of the Down Trust do not fall below ten (10) million dollars.

From May 15, 2009 until the last trading date on June 25, 2009, the full amount of all incremental trust expenses of the Down Trust resulting from the Early Termination will be allocated to the Down MacroShares. This action will result in the reduction in the underlying value of each Down MacroShare of approximately $0.07 per share above the impact on underlying value of daily expense accruals in effect prior to May 15, 2009.

Attached here as Appendix A is the press release issued by the Depositor announcing the occurrence of the termination trigger.
