On September 30, 2026, prior to the open of trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”), Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC, the sponsor of The Zcash ETF (the “Fund”), effected a 3-for-1 forward share split (the “Forward Split”) of the Fund’s shares (the “Shares”). The Shares began trading on a split-adjusted basis at market open on September 30, 2026.
As a result of the Forward Split, each shareholder of record as of the close of market on September 28, 2026 received two additional Shares for each Share held pre-split after the close of market on September 29, 2026. The Forward Split did not change the total value of a shareholder's investment. Immediately prior to the Forward Split, there were 7,989,300 Shares issued and outstanding, each representing a net asset value (“NAV”) of $111.41. Immediately after the Forward Split, the number of issued and outstanding Shares increased to 23,967,900, and the NAV per Share decreased to $37.14.
Following the Forward Split, the Shares continue to trade on NYSE Arca under the symbol “ZCSH” and the Fund’s CUSIP number remains unchanged.

The Zcash ETF (Ticker: ZCSH), Built By Grayscale, Announces Completion of 3-for-1 Share Split
Shareholders of record received three post-split shares for every one pre-split share of ZCSH they owned
STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Zcash ETF (Ticker: ZCSH) (the “Fund”), built by Grayscale, today announced the completion of its previously announced 3-for-1 forward share split (the "Forward Split"). The Forward Split became effective prior to market open today, September 30, 2026 (the "Effective Date"), and the Fund's shares began trading on a post-split basis on the Effective Date.
Shareholders of record as of market close on September 28, 2026 received two additional shares for every one pre-split share of ZCSH held, distributed after market close on September 29, 2026. As a result, every one pre-split share of ZCSH became three post-split shares, each representing ownership of approximately one-third of the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of a pre-split share. The Forward Split did not change the total value of a shareholder's investment.
Following the Forward Split, the Fund's shares continue to trade on NYSE Arca, Inc. under the symbol “ZCSH,” and the Fund's CUSIP number remains unchanged.

The Zcash ETF (the "Fund"), an ETP is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("40 Act"), and therefore is not subject to the same regulations and protections as 40 Act registered ETFs and mutual funds. An investment in ZCSH is subject to significant risk, heightened volatility, and is not suitable for an investor that cannot afford the loss of the entire investment. An investment in the Fund is not a direct investment in ZEC.
