Derivatives  — The Fund invests in derivatives, which are financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset (including ETFs), interest rate or index. The Fund invests in derivatives as a substitute for directly shorting stocks in order to gain inverse leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:

Swap Agreements  — Contracts entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard “swap” transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties is calculated with respect to a “notional amount,” e.g., the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index.

Money Market Instruments  — The Fund invests in short-term cash instruments that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including:

U.S. Treasury Bills  — U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.

Repurchase Agreements  — Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy them back at a specified time and price. Repurchase agreements are primarily used by the Fund as a short-term investment vehicle for cash positions.

there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund’s net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the transaction with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. This, in turn, may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective, even if the Index reverses all or a portion of its intraday move by the end of the day. Any financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund’s return.

Leverage Risk  — The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its assets in seeking to achieve its investment objective—a form of leverage—and will lose more money in market environments adverse to its daily objective than a similar fund that does not employ such leverage. The use of such leverage could result in the total loss of an investor’s investment. For example, because the Fund includes a multiplier of two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index, a single day movement in the Index approaching 50% at any point in the day could result in the total loss of a shareholder's investment if that movement is contrary to the investment objective of the Fund, even if the Index subsequently moves in an opposite direction, eliminating all or a portion of the earlier movement. This would be the case with any such single day movements in the Index, even if the Index maintains a level greater than zero at all times.

Compounding Risk  — As a result of compounding and because the Fund has a single day investment objective, the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the Index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on an inverse leveraged fund. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a single day to vary from two times the inverse (-2x) of the return of the Index. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Fund performance for periods greater than a single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index performance; b) Index volatility; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors—Index volatility and Index performance—on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain

inverse leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If Fund expenses and/or borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the Fund’s performance would be lower than shown.

Correlation Risk  — A number of factors may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of inverse correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.

Counterparty Risk  — The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline.

Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk  — An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives may be restricted, which may result in the Fund

being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Equity and Market Risk  — The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. As a fund seeking investment results that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index, the Fund’s performance will generally decrease when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise.

Exposure to European Investments Risk  — The Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union (the “EU”) requires member countries to comply with restrictions on inflation rates, interest rates, deficits, debt levels and fiscal and monetary controls. As a result, each EU member country may be significantly affected by EU policies and may be highly dependent on the economies of its fellow members. The European financial markets have experienced significant volatility recently and several EU member countries have been adversely affected by unemployment, budget deficits and economic downturns. In addition, several EU member countries have experienced credit rating downgrades, rising government debt levels and, for certain EU member countries (including Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy), weakness in sovereign debt. These events, along with decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, the default or threat of default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt and/or an economic recession in an EU member country may have a significant adverse effect on the affected EU member country, issuers in the affected EU member country, the economies of other EU member countries, their trading partners or other European countries. Such events, or even the threat of such events, may cause the value of debt issued by issuers in such European countries to fall, in some cases drastically. These events may also cause continued volatility in the European financial markets. To the extent that the Fund’s assets are exposed to investments from issuers in EU member countries or denominated in Euro, their trading partners, or other European countries, these events may impact the performance of the Fund. While the realization of certain of these risks may benefit the Fund because the Fund because the Fund seeks investment results that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index, such occurrences may introduce more volatility to the Fund.

Exposure to Foreign Currency Risk  — Investments denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to risk factors in addition to investments denominated in U.S. dollars. The value of an investment denominated in a foreign currency could change significantly as foreign currencies strengthen or weaken

relative to the U.S. dollar. Risks related to foreign currencies also include those related to economic or political developments, market inefficiencies or a higher risk that essential investment information may be incomplete, unavailable, or inaccurate. While the realization of certain of these risks may benefit the Fund because the Fund seeks investment results that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index, such occurrences may introduce more volatility to the Fund.

Exposure to Foreign Investments Risk  — Exposure to securities of foreign issuers may provide the Fund with increased risk. Various factors related to foreign investments may negatively impact the Index’s performance, such as: i) fluctuations in the value of the applicable foreign currency; ii) differences in securities settlement practices; iii) uncertainty associated with evidence of ownership of investments in countries that lack centralized custodial services; iv) possible regulation of, or other limitations on, investments by U.S. investors in foreign investments; v) potentially higher brokerage commissions; vi) the possibility that a foreign government may withhold portions of interest and dividends at the source; vii) taxation of income earned in foreign countries or other foreign taxes imposed; viii) foreign exchange controls, which may include suspension of the ability to transfer currency from a foreign country; ix) less publicly available information about foreign issuers; x) changes in the denomination currency of a foreign investment; and xi) less certain legal systems in which the Fund might encounter difficulties or be unable to pursue legal remedies. Foreign investments also may be more susceptible to political, social, economic and regional factors than might be the case with U.S. securities.

Geographic Concentration Risk  — Because the Fund focuses its investments in particular foreign countries or geographic regions, it may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund. The performance of the Fund will be affected by the political, social and economic conditions in those foreign countries and geographic regions and subject to the related risks.

Intraday Price Performance Risk  — The Fund is rebalanced at or about the time of its NAV calculation. As such, the intraday position of the Fund will generally be different from the Fund’s stated investment objective of corresponding to two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index. When shares are bought intraday, the performance of the Fund’s shares relative to the Index until the Fund’s next NAV calculation time will generally be greater than or less than the Fund’s stated multiple.

Inverse Correlation Risk  — Shareholders will lose money when the Index rises—a result that is the opposite from traditional funds.

Liquidity Risk  — In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or derivatives in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgment of ProShare Advisors. Markets for the securities or derivatives in which the Fund invests may be disrupted by a number of events, including but

not limited to economic crises, natural disasters, new legislation, or regulatory changes inside or outside of the U.S. For example, regulation limiting the ability of certain financial institutions to invest in certain securities would likely reduce the liquidity of those securities. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high inverse correlation with the Index.

Market Price Variance Risk  — The Fund’s shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, as defined below, ProShare Advisors believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained. The Fund’s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by investors creating and redeeming directly with the Fund.

Non-Diversification Risk  — The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund’s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities.

Portfolio Turnover Risk  — Daily rebalancing of Fund holdings, which is required to keep inverse leverage consistent with a single day investment objective, will cause a higher level of portfolio transactions than compared to most exchange-traded funds. Additionally, active market trading of the Fund’s shares may cause more frequent creation or redemption activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains.

Short Sale Exposure Risk  — The Fund may seek inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, which may cause the Fund to be exposed to certain risks associated with selling securities short. These risks include, under certain market conditions, an increase in the volatility and decrease in the liquidity of securities underlying the short position, which may adversely impact the Fund’s return, result in a loss, have the effect of limiting the Fund’s ability to obtain inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, or require the Fund to seek inverse exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or may be costly to implement. To the extent that, at

any particular point in time, the securities underlying the short position may be thinly traded or have a limited market, including due to regulatory action, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of a counterparty or counterparties. During such periods, the Fund’s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected. Obtaining inverse exposure through these instruments may be considered an aggressive investment technique.

Valuation Risk  — In certain circumstances, portfolio securities may be valued using techniques other than market quotations. The value established for a portfolio security may be different from what would be produced through the use of another methodology or if it had been priced using market quotations. Portfolio securities that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that a Fund could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time, and it is possible that a Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio security is sold at a discount to its established value.

Valuation Time Risk  — The Fund typically values its portfolio at 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). In certain cases, foreign securities markets close before such time or may not be open for business on the same calendar days as the Fund.
