ProShares Announces ETF Share Splits

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

Reverse Splits

Two ETFs will reverse split shares at the following split ratios:

TickerProShares ETFSplit RatioOld CUSIPNew CUSIP
BOIL ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas 1:5 74347W296 74347Y706
OILD ProShares UltraPro 3x Short Crude Oil ETF 1:4 74347W213 74347Y805

All reverse splits will be effective prior to market open on March 20, 2018, when the funds will begin trading at their post-split price. 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 1-for-4 reverse split, every four pre-split shares will result in the receipt of one post-split share, which will be priced four times higher than the NAV of a pre-split share.

Illustration of a Reverse Split

The following table shows the effect of a hypothetical 1-for-4 reverse split:

Period# of Shares OwnedHypothetical NAVValue of Shares
Pre-Split 1,000 $10.00 $10,000.00
Post-Split 250 $40.00 $10,000.00

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 4 for a 1-for-4 reverse split), the reverse split will result in the creation of a fractional share. 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.

ProShares is the leader in dividend growth, alternative and geared (leveraged and inverse) strategies. Source: ProShares, Strategic Insight and Lipper, based on number of funds and/or assets, as of 12/31/16.

Geared (leveraged or short) ProShares ETFs seek returns that are a multiple of (e.g., 2x or -2x) the return of an index or other benchmark (target) for a single day, as measured from one NAV calculation to the next. Due to the compounding of daily returns, ProShares' returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the target return for the same period. These effects may be more pronounced in funds with larger or inverse multiples and in funds with volatile benchmarks. Investors should monitor their ProShares holdings consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily. For more on correlation, leverage and other risks, please read the prospectus.

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. 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. There are additional risks related to commodity investments due to large institutional purchases or sales, and natural and technological factors such as severe weather, unusual climate change, and development and depletions of alternative resources. Certain derivative instruments will subject the fund to counterparty risk and credit risk, which could result in significant losses for the fund. Please see summary and full prospectuses for a more complete description of risks. There is no guarantee any ProShares ETF will achieve its investment objective.

Investing in ETFs involves a substantial risk of loss. BOIL and OILD are not investment companies regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and are not afforded its protections. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of ProShares before investing. This and other information can be found in their summary and full prospectuses. Read them carefully before investing.
