Exhibit 99.1

ProShares Announces ETF Share Splits

BETHESDA, MD – May 11, 2022 – ProShares, a premier provider of ETFs, announced today forward and reverse share splits on eight of its ETFs. The splits will not change the total value of a shareholder’s investment and will be effective on two separate dates.

Forward Splits – Phase One

ProShares will implement forward splits for four ETFs in two phases, on two separate dates. Two ETFs will forward split shares at the following split ratios:

All forward splits in phase one will apply to shareholders of record as of market close on May 24, 2022, payable after market close on May 25, 2022. All forward splits will be effective prior to market open on May 26, 2022, when the funds will begin trading at their post-split prices. The ticker symbols and CUSIP numbers for the funds will not change.

Forward Splits – Phase Two

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

Forward splits in phase two will apply to shareholders of record as of market close on May 25, 2022, payable after market close on May 26, 2022. All forward splits will be effective prior to market open on May 27, 2022, when the funds will begin trading at their post-split prices. The ticker symbols and CUSIP numbers for the funds will not change.

The forward splits will decrease the price per share of each fund with a proportionate increase in the number of shares outstanding. For example, for a four-for-one split, every pre-split share will result in the receipt of four post-split shares, which will be priced at one-fourth the net asset value (“NAV”) of a pre-split share.

Reverse Splits – Phase One

ProShares will implement reverse splits for four ETFs in two phases, on two separate dates. Two ETFs will reverse split shares at the following split ratios:

All reverse splits for phase one will be effective prior to market open on May 26, 2022, when the funds will begin trading at their post-split prices. The ticker symbols for the funds will not change. All funds undergoing a reverse split will be issued new CUSIP numbers, listed above.

Reverse Splits – Phase Two

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

All reverse splits for phase two will be effective prior to market open on May 27, 2022, when the fund will begin trading at its post-split price. The ticker symbol for the fund will not change. The funds undergoing a reverse split will be issued a new CUSIP number, listed above.

The reverse split will increase the price per share of each fund with a proportionate decrease in the number of shares outstanding. For example, for a one-for-two reverse split, every two pre-split shares will result in the receipt of one post-split share, which will be priced two times higher than the NAV of a pre-split share.

The following table shows the effect of a hypothetical one-for-two reverse split:

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 two for a one-for-two 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.

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. 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.

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. Separate ProShares Trust II prospectuses available for Volatility, Commodity, and Currency ProShares.
