Direxion to Split Nine ETFs

New York, New York, June 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Forward Splits of Two ETFs, Reverse Splits of Seven ETFs

Direxion has announced it will execute forward share splits for two of its exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), as well as reverse share splits for an additional seven ETFs. The total market value of the shares outstanding will not be affected as a result of these splits, except with respect to the redemption of fractional shares, as outlined below.

Forward Splits

After the close of the markets on July 14, 2026 (the “Payable Date”), each Fund noted in the table below will effect a forward split of its issued and outstanding shares as follows:

As a result of these share splits, shareholders of each Fund will receive twenty shares for each share held of the applicable Fund as indicated in the table above. Accordingly, the number of each Fund’s issued and outstanding shares will increase by the approximate percentage indicated above.

All share splits will apply to shareholders of record as of the close of their respective listing exchange (the “Exchange”) on July 13, 2026 (the “Record Date”), payable after the close of the Exchange on the Payable Date. Shares of the Funds will begin trading on the Exchange on a split-adjusted basis on July 15, 2026 (the “Ex-Date”). On the Ex-Date, the opening market value of each Fund’s issued and outstanding shares, and thus a shareholder’s investment value, will not be affected by the share split. However, the per share net asset value (“NAV”) and opening market price on the Ex-Date will be approximately one-twentieth for the Funds. The table below illustrates the effect of a hypothetical twenty-for-one split on a shareholder’s investment.

The forward share splits will not result in a taxable transaction for holders of the Funds’ shares. No transaction fees will be imposed on shareholders in connection with the share splits.

Reverse Splits

After the close of the markets on July 14, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), each Fund noted in the table below will effect a reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares as follows:

Please note the CUSIP changes, effective July 15, 2026:

As a result of these reverse splits, every ten shares of a Fund will be exchanged for one share as indicated in the table above. Accordingly, the total number of the issued and outstanding shares for a Fund will decrease by the approximate percentage indicated above. In addition, the per share NAV and next day’s opening market price will be approximately ten-times higher for the Funds. Shares of the Funds will begin trading on the Exchange on a split-adjusted basis on July 15, 2026.

The next day’s opening market value of the Funds’ issued and outstanding shares, and thus a shareholder’s investment value, will not be affected by the reverse splits. The table below illustrates the effect of a hypothetical one-for-ten reverse split anticipated for the Funds:

The Direxion Shares ETF Trust’s transfer agent will notify the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) of the reverse split and instruct DTC to adjust each shareholder’s investment(s) accordingly. DTC is the registered owner of the Funds’ shares and maintains a record of each Fund’s record owners.

Redemption of Fractional Shares and Tax Consequences of the Reverse Split

As a result of the reverse splits, a shareholder of a Fund’s shares potentially could hold a fractional share. However, fractional shares cannot trade on the Exchange. Thus, a Fund will redeem for cash a shareholder’s fractional shares at the Fund’s split-adjusted NAV as of the Effective Date. Such redemption may have tax implications for those shareholders and a shareholder could recognize a gain or loss in connection with the redemption of the shareholder’s fractional shares. Otherwise, the reverse splits will not result in a taxable transaction for holders of Fund shares. No transaction fee will be imposed on shareholders for such redemption.

“Odd Lot” Unit

Also as a result of the reverse splits, a Fund may have outstanding one aggregation of less than 50,000 or 25,000, as applicable, shares to make a creation unit, or an “odd lot unit.” Thus, a Fund will provide one authorized participant with a one-time opportunity to redeem the odd lot unit at the split-adjusted NAV or the NAV on such date the authorized participant seeks to redeem the odd lot unit.

All Direxion Leveraged and Inverse ETFs are intended only for investors with an in-depth understanding of the risks associated with seeking leveraged investment results, and who plan to actively monitor and manage their positions. There is no guarantee these ETFs will meet their objective.

The ETFs do not attempt to, and should not be expected to, provide returns which are a multiple of the return of their respective index or underlying security for periods other than a single day. For other risks including leverage, correlation, daily compounding, market volatility and risks specific to an industry, sector or company, please read the prospectus.

Forward Splits of Two ETFs, Reverse Splits of Seven ETFs

Direxion has announced it will execute forward share splits for two of its exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), as well as reverse share splits for an additional seven ETFs. The total market value of the shares outstanding will not be affected as a result of these splits, except with respect to the redemption of fractional shares, as outlined below.

Forward Splits

After the close of the markets on July 14, 2026 (the “Payable Date”), each Fund noted in the table below will effect a forward split of its issued and outstanding shares as follows:

As a result of these share splits, shareholders of each Fund will receive twenty shares for each share held of the applicable Fund as indicated in the table above. Accordingly, the number of each Fund’s issued and outstanding shares will increase by the approximate percentage indicated above.

All share splits will apply to shareholders of record as of the close of their respective listing exchange (the “Exchange”) on July 13, 2026 (the “Record Date”), payable after the close of the Exchange on the Payable Date.

The table below illustrates the effect of a hypothetical twenty-for-one split on a shareholder’s investment.

The forward share splits will not result in a taxable transaction for holders of the Funds’ shares. No transaction fees will be imposed on shareholders in connection with the share splits.

Reverse Splits

After the close of the markets on July 14, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), each Fund noted in the table below will effect a reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares as follows:

Please note the CUSIP changes, effective July 15, 2026:

As a result of these reverse splits, every ten shares of a Fund will be exchanged for one share as indicated in the table above. Accordingly, the total number of the issued and outstanding shares for a Fund will decrease by the approximate percentage indicated above. In addition, the per share NAV and next day’s opening market price will be approximately ten-times higher for the Funds. Shares of the Funds will begin trading on the Exchange on a split-adjusted basis on July 15, 2026.

The next day’s opening market value of the Funds’ issued and outstanding shares, and thus a shareholder’s investment value, will not be affected by the reverse splits. The table below illustrates the effect of a hypothetical one-for-ten reverse split anticipated for the Funds:

The Direxion Shares ETF Trust’s transfer agent will notify the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) of the reverse split and instruct DTC to adjust each shareholder’s investment(s) accordingly. DTC is the registered owner of the Funds’ shares and maintains a record of each Fund’s record owners.

Redemption of Fractional Shares and Tax Consequences of the Reverse Split

As a result of the reverse splits, a shareholder of a Fund’s shares potentially could hold a fractional share. However, fractional shares cannot trade on the Exchange. Thus, a Fund will redeem for cash a shareholder’s fractional shares at the Fund’s split-adjusted NAV as of the Effective Date. Such redemption may have tax implications for those shareholders and a shareholder could recognize a gain or loss in connection with the redemption of the shareholder’s fractional shares. Otherwise, the reverse splits will not result in a taxable transaction for holders of Fund shares. No transaction fee will be imposed on shareholders for such redemption.

“Odd Lot” Unit

Also as a result of the reverse splits, a Fund may have outstanding one aggregation of less than 50,000 or 25,000, as applicable, shares to make a creation unit, or an “odd lot unit.” Thus, a Fund will provide one authorized participant with a one-time opportunity to redeem the odd lot unit at the split-adjusted NAV or the NAV on such date the authorized participant seeks to redeem the odd lot unit.
