SINGAPORE,April 29,2020 --Jim Rogers and Beeland Interests,Inc. announce that effective with the Rogers International Commodity Index® (RICI®)April 2020 roll period,which roll period begins on April 29,2020,the RICI and RICI Energy sub-index Crude Oil (CL) contract will roll from the September (U) contract to the October (V) contract. This decision is taken in light of recent Crude Oil price volatility in an effort to help reduce or avoid unintended effects of very small or negative Crude Oil contract pricing on RICI and RICI Energy sub-index calculations. Other than as stated above,the RICI and RICI Energy sub-index rolls will proceed as the RICI Handbook methodology provides for an ordinary roll. In advance of the RICI and RICI Energy sub-index May 2020 roll period,Beeland Interests will evaluate and announce whether and to what month the Crude Oil October (V) contract will roll during such roll period.
