Redemption of Fractional Shares and Tax Consequences for Each Reverse Split
As a result of the reverse splits, a shareholder of each ETF could potentially hold a fractional share. However, fractional shares cannot trade on NYSE Arca. Thus, each ETF will redeem for cash a shareholder's fractional shares at the Fund's split-adjusted NAV. Such redemptions could cause a shareholder to realize a gain or loss. Otherwise, the reverse splits will not result in a taxable transaction for holders of ETF shares. No transaction fee will be imposed on shareholders for such redemptions.
"Odd Lot" Unit
As a result of the reverse splits, the ETFs will have outstanding one aggregation of less than 50,000 shares to make a creation unit, or an "odd lot unit." Thus, each ETF will provide one authorized participant with a one-time opportunity to redeem the respective odd lot unit at its split-adjusted NAV, or at the NAV on such date the authorized participant seeks to redeem the odd lot unit.
