to each Fund’s Prospectus and Disclosure Document

dated February 23, 2022

The Prospectus and Disclosure Document for each Fund is hereby revised to reflect that:

Planned liquidation of ProShares UltraShort Australian Dollar and ProShares Short Euro. On March 10, 2022, ProShares Capital Management LLC announced that it plans to close and liquidate ProShares UltraShort Australian Dollar (ticker symbol: CROC) and ProShares Short Euro (ticker symbol: EUFX). Each Fund trades on NYSE Arca.

The last day the Funds will accept creation orders is May 2, 2022. Trading in each Fund will be suspended prior to market open on May 3, 2022. Proceeds of the liquidation are currently scheduled to be sent to shareholders on or about May 17, 2022 (the “Distribution Date”).

Shareholders may sell their shares of a Fund (subject to any applicable brokerage or transaction costs) until the market close on May 2, 2022. From May 3, 2022 through the Distribution Date, shares of the Funds will not be traded on NYSE Arca and there will not be a secondary market for their shares. During this period, each Fund will be in the process of liquidating its portfolio and will not be managed in accordance with its investment objective.

Any shareholders remaining in a Fund on the Distribution Date will automatically have their shares redeemed for cash at the current net asset value. These cash distributions are taxable events. Shareholders should consult their tax advisor about any potential tax consequences.
