ProShares, the world's biggest purveyor of inverse and leveraged
ETFs, is planning regular share splits on six of its ETFs as well
as reverse splits on 11 other of its exchange-traded funds, the
company said this week in a press release.
The regular splits will decrease share prices by increasing the
number of outstanding shares. The reverse splits achieve the
opposite effect-namely increase the share price by decreasing the
number of outstanding shares.
With the exception of fractional shares, share splits and
reverse splits don't alter the total value of the shares
outstanding. Any fractional shares will be redeemed for cash and
sent to brokers of record, ProShares said.
Bethesda, Md.-based ProShares said it will conduct four 2-for-1
share splits; two 3-for-1 splits; six 1-for-4 reverse splits; and
five 1-for-5 reverse splits.
All the splits and reverse splits will be effective on May 11,
with the regular splits applying to shareholders of record as of
May 8 and the reverse splits going to shareholders of record as of
May 10.
