ProFunds Announces Mutual Fund Share Splits
Bethesda, MD, February 7, 2014 — ProFunds, a premier provider of alternative mutual funds, announced today share splits and reverse share splits on the mutual funds listed below. The splits and reverse splits will not change the value of a shareholder's investment.
Splits
One fund will split shares 4-for-1:
| Fund | Investor Class | Service Class | Split Ratio |
| Biotechnology | BIPIX | BIPSX | 4:1 |
The split will apply to shareholders of record as of the close of the markets on February 21, 2014. The fund will trade at its
post-split price on February 24, 2014. The ticker symbol and CUSIP number for the fund will not change.
The split will decrease the price per share of the fund with a proportionate increase in the number of shares outstanding. For example, for a 4-for-1 split, every pre-split share held by a shareholder will result in the receipt of four post-split shares, which will be priced at one-fourth of the net asset value ("NAV") of a pre-split share.

The following table shows the effect of a hypothetical 4-for-1 split:
| Period | # of Shares Owned | Hypothetical NAV | Value of Shares |
| Pre-Split | 100 | $40.00 | $4,000.00 |
| Post-Split | 400 | $10.00 | $4,000.00 |
Reverse Splits
Five funds will reverse split shares 1-for-5:
| Fund | Investor Class | Service Class | Split Ratio |
| Short Real Estate | SRPIX | SRPSX | 1:5 |
| UltraShort Japan | UKPIX | UKPSX | 1:5 |
| Short NASDAQ-100 | SOPIX | SOPSX | 1:5 |
| Short SmallCap | SHPIX | SHPSX | 1:5 |
| UltraShort NASDAQ-100 | USPIX | USPSX | 1:5 |
Two funds will reverse split shares 1-for-8:
| Fund | Investor Class | Service Class | Split Ratio |
| UltraShort SmallCap | UCPIX | UCPSX | 1:8 |
| UltraShort International | UXPIX | UXPSX | 1:8 |
One fund will reverse split shares 1-for-10:
| Fund | Investor Class | Service Class | Split Ratio |
| UltraShort China | UHPIX | UHPSX | 1:10 |
All reverse splits will apply to shareholders of record as of the close of the markets on February 21, 2014. The funds will trade at the post-split prices on February 24, 2014. The ticker symbols and CUSIP numbers for the funds will not change.
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 the 1-for-5 reverse splits, every five pre-split shares held by a shareholder will result in the receipt of one post-split share, which will be priced at five times the NAV of a pre-split share.
Illustration of a Reverse Split
The following table shows the effect of a hypothetical 1-for-5 reverse split:
| # of Shares Owned | Hypothetical NAV | Value of Shares | |
| Pre-Split | 1,000 | $6.00 | $6,000.00 |
| Post-Split | 200 | $30.00 | $6,000.00 |
