ProShares Announces ETF Share Splits

ProShares, a premier provider of ETFs, announced today forward and reverse share splits on 17 of its ETFs. The splits will not change the total value of a shareholder’s investment.

Forward Split

ProShares will implement a forward split for one ETF at the following split ratio:

This forward split will apply to shareholders of record as of market close on May 26, 2026, payable after market close on May 27, 2026. The forward split will be effective prior to market open on May 28, 2026, when the fund will begin trading at its post-split price. The ticker symbol and CUSIP numbers for the fund will not change.

The forward split will decrease the price per share of the fund, with a proportionate increase in the number of shares outstanding. For example, for a two-for-one split, every pre-split share will result in the receipt of two post-split shares, which will be priced at one-half the net asset value (“NAV”) of a pre-split share.

The following table shows the effect of a hypothetical two-for-one forward split.

Reverse Splits

ProShares will implement reverse splits for 16 of its ETFs at the following split ratios:

ProShares Crypto ETFs invest in cryptocurrency derivatives (swap agreements, futures contracts and similar instruments) and do not invest directly in cryptocurrency.

The reverse splits will be effective prior to market open on May 28, 2026, when the funds will begin trading at their post-split prices. The ticker symbols for the funds will not change. All funds undergoing a reverse split will be issued new CUSIP numbers, listed above.

The reverse splits will increase the price per share of each fund, with a proportionate decrease in the number of shares outstanding. For example, for a one-for-two reverse split, every two pre-split shares will result in the receipt of one post-split share, which will be priced two times higher than the NAV of a pre-split share.

The following table shows the effect of a hypothetical one-for-two reverse split.

Fractional Shares from Reverse Splits

For shareholders who hold quantities of shares that are not an exact multiple of the reverse split ratio (for example, not a multiple of five for a one-for-five reverse split), the reverse split will result in the creation of fractional shares. Post-reverse split fractional shares will be redeemed for cash and sent to your broker of record. This redemption may cause some shareholders to realize gains or losses, which could be a taxable event for those shareholders.

Some ProShares ETFs seek daily investment results that correspond, before fees and expenses, to a multiple (e.g., 2x or -2x) of the daily performance of its underlying benchmark (the “Daily Target”). While the Funds have a daily investment objective, you may hold a Fund’s shares for longer than one day if you believe it is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. For any holding period other than a day, your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target. These differences may be significant. Smaller index gains/losses and higher index volatility contribute to returns worse than the Daily Target. Larger index gains/losses and lower index volatility contribute to returns better than the Daily Target. The more extreme these factors are, the more they occur together, and the longer your holding period while these factors apply, the more your return will tend to deviate. Investors should consider periodically monitoring their geared fund investments in light of their goals and risk tolerance.

ProShares Crypto ETFs invest in cryptocurrency derivatives (swap agreements, futures contracts and similar instruments) and do not invest directly in cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrencies are a relatively new asset class, and the market for these digital assets is subject to rapid changes and uncertainty. Cryptocurrencies are subject to unique and substantial risks, such as rapid price swings and lack of liquidity, including as a result of changes in their supply and demand, statements by influencers and the media, and other factors. Digital assets are largely unregulated and may be more susceptible to fraud and manipulation than more regulated investments. Leveraged exposure to digital assets will increase volatility. The value of an investment in these ETFs could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. These ETFs may not be suitable for all investors.

ProShares Commodity ETFs invest in financial instruments that provide exposure to the underlying commodity, and each ETF does not invest directly in commodities.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. ProShares ETFs are generally non-diversified, and each entails certain risks, which may include risk associated with the use of derivatives (swap agreements, futures contracts and similar instruments), imperfect benchmark correlation, leverage and market price variance, all of which can increase volatility and decrease performance. Short positions lose value as security prices increase. Leveraged single-stock ETF performance depends almost entirely on the performance of a single stock. Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. Investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility. Smaller company stocks also may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than stocks of larger companies. Please see prospectuses for a more complete description of risks. There is no guarantee any ProShares ETF will achieve its investment objective.
