Forward Share Split
On September 18, 2026, Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC, the sponsor (the “Sponsor”) of The Zcash ETF (the “Fund”), issued a press release announcing a 3-for-1 forward share split (the “Forward Split”) of the Fund’s shares (the “Shares”).
The Forward Split will apply to shareholders of record as of the close of the market on September 28, 2026 (the “Record Date”) and will be payable after the close of the market on September 29, 2026 (the “Payment Date”). The Forward Split will be effective prior to the market open on September 30, 2026 (the “Effective Date”) when the Shares will begin trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. on a split-adjusted basis. Following the Forward Split, the Shares will continue to trade under the ticker symbol “ZCSH” and the CUSIP number for the Shares will remain unchanged.
The Forward Split is expected to decrease the price per share of the Fund with a proportionate increase in the number of Shares outstanding. As a result of the Forward Split, holders as of the Record Date will receive two additional Shares, to be distributed on the Payment Date. Immediately following the Forward Split, the NAV per Share is expected to be approximately one-third of the NAV per Share immediately before the Forward Split.
A copy of Grayscale’s press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

3-for-1 |
The Forward Split will apply to shareholders of record as of market close on September 28, 2026 (the “Record Date”), payable after market close on September 29, 2026 (the “Payment Date”). The shares are expected to begin trading on a post-split basis prior to market open on September 30, 2026, the effective date. Following the Forward Split, the Fund’s shares will continue to trade on NYSE Arca, Inc. under the symbol “ZCSH” and its CUSIP number will remain unchanged.
The Forward Split is expected to decrease the price per share of the Fund, with a proportionate increase in the number of shares outstanding. As a result of the Forward Split, holders as of the Record Date will receive two additional shares, to be distributed on the Payment Date. As a result, every one pre-split share of ZCSH will result in three post-split shares of ZCSH, each representing ownership in approximately one-third of the NAV per share of a pre-split share.
