Reverse splits increase the price per share of each fund with a proportionate decrease in the number of shares outstanding. For example, for a 1-for-5 reverse split, 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 net NAV of a pre-split share. Thus, the total value of a shareholder’s investment is not affected.
