Item 5.03.              Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Changes in Fiscal Year.

Effective July 13, 2011, RJO Global Trust (the “Trust”) will be governed by its Ninth Amended and Restated Declaration and Agreement of Trust (the “Ninth Restatement”), as amended by the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Ninth Restatement, attached hereto as Exhibit 3.01 and incorporated herein by reference.  The managing owner of the Trust, R.J. O’Brien Fund Management, LLC (the “Managing Owner”), determined to amend the Ninth Restatement in accordance with its authority under Section 20(a) of the Ninth Restatement.

The First Amendment revised the Ninth Restatement to reflect the Managing Owner’s determination to terminate the public offering of the units of beneficial interest (the “Units”) in the Trust and begin offering the Units privately.  Specifically, the First Amendment revised the Ninth Restatement to change certain defined terms that were not applicable to the private offering and to remove certain restrictions that apply to public offerings but do not apply to private offerings.

In addition, the Managing Owner further revised the Ninth Restatement in order to update and remove outdated information and clarify certain clerical inaccuracies.
