NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events existing in the Trust’s and the Funds’ financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued. The subsequent events were as follows:

On May 1, 2015, the Trust announced a 1-for-4 reverse split of the Shares of beneficial interest of ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Commodity, ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas and ProShares Ultra Yen.

On May 1, 2015, the Trust announced a 1-for-5 reverse split of the Shares of beneficial interest of ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF and ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Crude Oil.

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.

The reverse splits will be effective for shareholders of record after the close of the markets on May 19, 2015. All reverse splits will be effective at the market open on May 20, 2015, when the Funds will begin trading at their post-split price. The ticker symbol for the Funds will not change. Each of the Funds undergoing a reverse split will be issued a new CUSIP number, listed below.
