Exhibit 99.1

ProShares Announces ETF Share Splits

May 28, 2025

BETHESDA, Md.—ProShares, a premier provider of ETFs, announced today forward and reverse share splits on seven 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

ProShares will implement forward splits for one ETF at the following split ratio:

Ticker ProShares ETF Split Ratio
UGL ProShares Ultra Gold 4:1

This forward split will apply to shareholders of record as of market close on June 11, 2025, payable after market close on June 12, 2025. The forward split will be effective prior to market open on June 13, 2025, when the fund will begin trading at its post-split price. The ticker symbol and CUSIP numbers for the fund will not change.

The forward split will decrease the price per share of the 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-quarter the net asset value (“NAV”) of a pre-split share.

Illustration of a Forward Split

The following table shows the effect of a hypothetical four-for-one forward split.

Period # of Shares Owned Hypothetical NAV Value of Shares
Pre-Split 100 $ 120.00 $ 12,000.00
Post-Split 400 $ 30.00 $ 12,000.00

Reverse Splits – Phase One

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

Ticker ProShares ETF Split Ratio Old CUSIP New CUSIP
ETHT ProShares Ultra Ether ETF 1:5 74349Y811 74349Y571
SBIT ProShares UltraShort Bitcoin ETF 1:5 74349Y803 74349Y563
SIJ ProShares UltraShort Industrials 1:2 74347G598 74349Y555
SMDD ProShares UltraPro Short MidCap400 1:2 74347G663 74349Y548
SCC ProShares UltraShort Consumer Discretionary 1:2 74347G275 74349Y530

All reverse splits for phase one will be effective prior to market open on June 12, 2025, 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

Ticker ProShares ETF Split Ratio Old CUSIP New CUSIP
GLL ProShares UltraShort Gold 1:2 74347W395 74347Y714

The reverse split for phase two will be effective prior to market open on June 13, 2025, when the fund will begin trading at its post-split price. The ticker symbol for the fund will not change. The fund undergoing a reverse split will be issued a new CUSIP number, listed above.

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 one-for-five reverse split, every five pre-split shares will result in the receipt of one post-split share, which will be priced five times higher than the NAV of a pre-split share.

Illustration of a Reverse Split

The following table shows the effect of a hypothetical one-for-five reverse split.

Period # of Shares Owned Hypothetical NAV Value of Shares
Pre-Split 1,000 $ 10.00 $ 10,000.00
Post-Split 200 $ 50.00 $ 10,000.00

Fractional Shares from Reverse Splits

For shareholders who hold quantities of shares that are not an exact multiple of the reverse split ratios (for example, not a multiple of five for a one-for-five reverse split), the reverse splits will result in the creation of fractional shares. 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.

Some ProShares ETFs seek daily investment results that correspond, before fees and expenses, to a multiple (e.g., 2x or -2x) of the daily performance of its underlying benchmark (the “Daily Target”). While the Funds have a daily investment objective, you may hold a Fund’s shares for longer than one day if you believe it is consistent with your goals and risk tolerance. For any holding period other than a day, your return may be higher or lower than the Daily Target. These differences may be significant. Smaller index gains/losses and higher index volatility contribute to returns worse than the Daily Target. Larger index gains/losses and lower index volatility contribute to returns better than the Daily Target. The more extreme these factors are, the more they occur together, and the longer your holding period while these factors apply, the more your return will tend to deviate. Investors should consider periodically monitoring their geared fund investments in light of their goals and risk tolerance.

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 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 are available for Volatility, Commodity, and Currency ProShares.
