Oct 11, 2019
Bethesda, MD – October 11, 2019 – ProFunds, a leader in leveraged and inverse fund investing, announced today forward and reverse splits on the ProFunds and VP funds listed below. The forward and reverse splits will not change the value of a shareholder’s investment.
ProFunds Mutual Fund Reverse Splits
Two funds will reverse split at the following split ratios:
| ProFund | Investor Class | Service Class | Split Ratio |
| Oil Equipment & Services UltraSector | OEPIX | OEPSX | 1:8 |
| Short Nasdaq-100 | SOPIX | SOPSX | 1:4 |
ProFunds VP Fund Reverse Splits
Four funds will reverse split at the following split ratios:
| ProFund VP | Split Ratio | CUSIP |
| UltraShort Dow 30 | 1:8 | 74318X794 |
| Short Nasdaq-100 | 1:4 | 743185589 |
| Short Dow 30 | 1:4 | 74318X810 |
| Short International | 1:4 | 74318W796 |
All reverse splits will apply to shareholders of record as of the close of the markets on November 15, 2019. The funds will trade at the post-split prices on November 18, 2019. 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 a 1-for-4 reverse split, every four pre-split shares held by a shareholder will result in the receipt of one post-split share, which will be priced at four times the net NAV of a pre-split share.
