 S&P 500 ® VIX Short-Term Futures Index (the “Index”). The ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (the “Short Fund”) seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to one-half the inverse (-0.5x) of the performance of the Index for a single day, not for any other period. The ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (the “Ultra Fund”) seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to one and one-half times (1.5x) the performance of the Index for a single day, not for any other period. The Short Fund and the Ultra Fund are sometimes referred to herein as the “Geared Funds.” A “single day” is measured from the time a Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”) to the time of the Fund’s next NAV calculation. The NAV calculation time for the Funds typically is 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). Please see the section entitled “Summary—Creation and Redemption Transactions” for additional details on the NAV calculation time for the Funds. The Funds seek to achieve their respective investment objectives through the appropriate amount of exposure to the VIX futures contracts included in the Index. Each Fund also has the ability to engage in swap transactions, forward contracts, option contracts, and other instruments in order to achieve its investment objective, in the manner and to the extent described herein. The Funds are not benchmarked to the widely referenced Cboe Volatility Index, commonly known as the “VIX.” The Index and the VIX are two separate indices and can be expected to perform very differently. As such, the Funds can be expected to perform very differently from the VIX or one and one-half times (1.5x) or one-half the inverse (-0.5x) of the performance of the VIX. INVESTING IN THE SHARES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISKS. PLEASE REFER TO “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 12 . THE FUNDS PRESENT SIGNIFICANT RISKS NOT APPLICABLE TO OTHER TYPES OF FUNDS, INCLUDING RISKS RELATING TO INVESTING IN AND SEEKING EXPOSURE TO VIX FUTURES CONTRACTS. THE FUNDS ARE NOT APPROPRIATE
