Item 1.02 Termination of Material Definitive Agreement
On August 30, 2004, the Advisory Agreement, dated as of March 21, 2000 (the “Agreement”), by and among World Monitor Trust – Series A (the “Trust”), Prudential Securities Futures Management Inc. (the “Managing Owner”) and Eagle Trading Systems, Inc. (the “Advisor”), was terminated in accordance with its terms.
Under the Agreement, the Advisor provides commodity advisory services to the Trust. The Agreement provides that it will terminate automatically in the event that the total assets of the Trust allocated to the Advisor decline by 33 1/3% from the first day of any calendar year, as adjusted on an ongoing basis by (a) any decline in the assets caused by distributions, redemptions, permitted reallocations, and withdrawals, and (b) additions to the assets caused by additional allocations to the Advisor’s management. As of the close of business on August 27, 2004, the Trust’s net asset value declined by 33 1/3% since the beginning of the calendar year. Accordingly, the Agreement was automatically terminated and the Advisor was immediately directed to cancel all open orders and to close out all of its market positions on behalf of the Trust.
As noted in the attached letter to Interest Holders in the Trust, the Managing Owner is soliciting proxies for a proposal that, if approved, would result in the Managing Owner being replaced by another commodity pool operator.
