Following is the ProShares Semiannual Report for the six months ended November 30, 2021.

U.S. Stocks Rose Despite Continued Worries

U.S. equities posted positive results during the reporting period, as measured by the S&P 500® and the Dow Jones Industrial Average® . Drivers of stock performance included a resilient economic recovery boosted by widespread vaccination, ongoing stimulus from the Federal Reserve and robust corporate earnings. Stocks closed at record highs on multiple days during the six-month period. However, volatility increased later in the period as investors began to worry about inflation, a surge in interest rates and ongoing supply chain challenges.

Inflation climbed to a 6.2% annual rate in October, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The core inflation rate, which many economists prefer because it excludes volatile food and energy prices, climbed 4.6%. Investors were also concerned about the possibility of stocks retreating after the Fed announced plans to begin tapering its $120 billion monthly stimulus. Fed Chairman Powell stated that higher inflation was not "transitory," which many investors interpreted as a signal that the Fed's stimulus may end sooner than expected and interest rates could be hiked early in 2022. Equities managed to record positive returns for the period, despite the S&P 500 retreating 4.8% in September, rebounding in October, and declining sharply again in late November as word of the new omicron variant broke.

Over the six-month reporting period, the S&P 500 climbed 9.4%, the S&P MidCap 400® declined 0.1%, and the small-cap Russell 2000 Index® retreated 2.6%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 Index® rose 18.3%, while the Dow eked out 0.7%. Eight of 11 Dow Jones U.S. Industry Indexes advanced, including technology (23.2%), consumer goods (11.5%), and oil & gas (8.7%). Telecom declined 15.1% and basic materials fell 4.1%.

International Equities Declined

Developed markets outside North America retreated 4.1% during the period, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index® , and the MSCI Europe Index® fell 3.9%. European stocks declined largely as a result of rising COVID-19 numbers and new government measures to stop the spread before the onset of winter. The emergence and spread of omicron also led to an extensive equity selloff toward the end of November.

The MSCI Japan Index® fell 2.4%, while the broad MSCI Emerging Markets Index® retreated 9.8%. The FTSE China 50 Index® fell 16.1%, on concerns that the government could enact new lockdown measures because of the new variant.

U.S. Treasury Results Mixed; Investment Grade Outperformed High Yield

Bonds returned 1.0% overall during the reporting period, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Treasury results were mixed, with the Ryan Labs Treasury 10 Year Index and the Ryan Labs Treasury 30 Year Index climbing 1.5% and 10%, respectively, and the Ryan Labs Treasury 5 Year Index falling by 1.1%. The high yield corporate bond market returned 0.4%, based on the Markit iBoxx $ Liquid High Yield Index, but it was outperformed by its investment-grade counterpart, up 2.1%, as measured by the Markit iBoxx $ Liquid Investment Grade Index. The U.S. dollar rose 6.2%, as measured by the Bloomberg Dollar Index Spot.

ProShares Launches New Funds, Including the Industry's First U.S. Bitcoin-Linked ETF

Interest in the cryptocurrency market has been growing for years, and investors have especially awaited the launch of a bitcoin-linked ETF, as it would provide them a way to gain bitcoin futures exposure that they could buy and sell in their brokerage accounts. Building on our legacy of providing investors convenient, liquid access to asset classes, ProShares introduced the first bitcoin-linked ETF in the United States on October 19, 2021 — the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO).

ProShares also expanded its lineup of thematic ETFs during the period, launching six funds to provide investors with access to companies changing how businesses operate, innovate and compete. The funds are the ProShares On-Demand ETF (OND), ProShares Smart Materials ETF (TINT), ProShares Nanotechnology ETF (TINY), ProShares S&P Kensho Smart Factories ETF (MAKX), ProShares Big Data Refiners ETF (DAT), and ProShares S&P Kensho Cleantech ETF (CTEX).

Over the period, ProShares' assets under management rose 24.2%, from $51.6 billion to $64.0 billion. In these continually evolving times, ProShares offers an array of funds designed to suit investors' wide range of investment objectives and goals. We continue to introduce products as needs evolve, and remain the industry leader in strategies such as dividend growth, interest hedged bond, geared investing and thematics. We thank you for the trust and confidence you have placed in us by choosing ProShares, and we appreciate the opportunity to continue serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Michael L. Sapir
Chairman of the Board of Trustees

ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (Ticker: BITO)

ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (the "Fund") seeks capital appreciation. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Fund does not invest directly in bitcoin. The Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation primarily through managed exposure to bitcoin futures contracts. The Fund expects to gain exposure by investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and advised by ProShare Advisors. Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiary is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund generally expects to invest approximately 25% of its total assets in this subsidiary. The Fund may, however, exceed this amount from time to time if the Advisor believes doing so is in the best interests of the Fund, such as to help the Fund achieve its investment objective or manage tax efficiency of the Fund.

ProShares Decline of the Retail Store ETF (Ticker: EMTY)

ProShares Decline of the Retail Store ETF (the "Fund") seeks capital appreciation from the decline of bricks and mortar retailers through short exposure (-1x) to the Solactive-ProShares Bricks and Mortar Retail Store Index (the "Index"). The Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective over a period of time greater than a single day. The Index is constructed and maintained by Solactive AG. The Index seeks to measure the performance of publicly traded "bricks and mortar" retail companies whose retail revenue is derived principally from in-store sales. Short exposure may be attractive to investors who believe bricks and mortar stores face threats from ongoing trends, such as the growth of online shopping and markets oversaturated with stores. Companies must derive more than 50% of their global revenues from retail operations and more than 75% of their retail revenues from in-store sales to be included in the Index. In addition a company must be domiciled in the US; its securities must be listed on a U.S. stock exchange and must meet certain liquidity and market capitalization requirements. The Index includes only U.S. companies. The Index is rebalanced monthly to equal weight and reconstituted in June each year.

ProShares K-1 Free Crude Oil Strategy ETF (Ticker: OILK)

ProShares K-1 Free Crude Oil Strategy ETF (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the Bloomberg Commodity Balanced WTI Crude Oil IndexSM (the "Index")**. The Fund generally will not invest directly in WTI crude oil futures. The Fund expects to gain exposure to these investments by investing a portion of its assets in the ProShares Cayman Crude Oil Strategy Portfolio, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Subsidiary"). The Subsidiary is advised by the Fund's Advisor and invests directly in WTI crude oil futures. Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiary is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund's investment in the Subsidiary is intended to provide the Fund with exposure to commodity markets in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The Fund will generally limit investments in the Subsidiary to 25% but it may exceed that amount if the Advisor believes doing so is in the best interest of the Fund, such as to help achieve the Fund's investment objective or increase the tax efficiency of the Fund.

ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF (Ticker: FUT)

ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF (the "Fund") seeks to provide positive returns that are not directly correlated to broad equity or fixed income markets. This actively managed Fund uses the S&P® Strategic Futures Index as a performance benchmark (the "Benchmark"). The Benchmark seeks to capture the economic benefit from trends (in either direction) in the physical commodities, interest rates and currencies markets by taking long or short positions in related futures contracts. The Fund will not invest directly in Commodity Futures Contracts. The Fund expects to gain exposure to these investments by investing a portion of its assets in the ProShares Cayman Portfolio I, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Subsidiary"). The Subsidiary is advised by the Fund's Advisor. Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiary is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's investment in the Subsidiary is intended to provide the Fund with exposure to commodity markets in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The Subsidiary has the same investment objective as the Fund. The Fund will generally limit investments in the Subsidiary to 25% but it may exceed that amount if the Advisor believes doing so is in the best interest of the Fund, such as to help achieve the Fund's investment objective or increase the tax efficiency of the Fund.

ProShares RAFITM Long/Short (Ticker: RALS)

ProShares RAFITM Long/Short (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the FTSE RAFITM US 1000 Long/Short Total Return Index (the "Index"). The Index is constructed and maintained by FTSE International Limited. The Index allocates an equal dollar amount to both long and short equity positions each time that the Index rebalances. The long position of the index consists of the equity securities in the FTSE RAFI US 1000 Total Return Index (the "Long Index"), and the short position of the Index consists of short-positions in the securities included in the Russell 1000 Total Return Index. The Long Index is a "fundamental" index which uses non-price measures of company size (such as sales, dividends, cash flow or book value) to select and weight the securities in the Long Index. The Short Index is a capitalization weighted index. Capitalization-weighted indexes weight securities based on the price of the securities in the index and not fundamental factors. The Index leverages a theory that index weighting based on market capitalization (i.e., price) results in overweighting of overpriced securities and underweighting of underpriced securities.

XXVI :: NOVEMBER 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) :: ALLOCATION OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS & INDEX COMPOSITION PROSHARES TRUST


EXPENSE EXAMPLES

PROSHARES TRUST EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UNAUDITED) :: XXVII


As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs for purchasing and selling shares and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and other Fund expenses. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

Actual Expenses

The actual expense examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six-month period and held through the period ended, November 30, 2021.

The first line in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 =8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The hypothetical expense examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six month period and held through the period ended, November 30, 2021.

The second line in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as brokerage charges. Therefore, the second line for each Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

*  Expenses are equal to the average account value multiplied by the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by 183/365 (the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year).

(a)  The Fund commenced operations on September 29, 2021. Actual Expenses Paid During the Period are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 62 divided by 365 (to reflect the actual days in the period). Hypothetical Expenses Paid During the Period are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183 divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

(b)  The Fund commenced operations on October 18, 2021. Actual Expenses Paid During the Period are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 43 divided by 365 (to reflect the actual days in the period). Hypothetical Expenses Paid During the Period are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183 divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

(c)  In addition to the fees and expenses which the Morningstar Alternatives Solution ETF bears directly, the Fund indirectly bears a pro-rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying ProShares ETFs in which the Fund invests. The Fund's Annualized Expense Ratio During the Period disclosed in the table above reflects only the direct expenses of the Fund. If the Fund's Annualized Expense Ratio During the Period included such indirect expenses, known as Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, it would have been 0.95% for both the Actual and Hypothetical Expense Examples.

(d)  The Fund commenced operations on October 26, 2021. Actual Expenses Paid During the Period are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 35 divided by 365 (to reflect the actual days in the period). Hypothetical Expenses Paid During the Period are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183 divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

a  The Fund's Swap Agreements are not accounted for as hedging instruments under ASC 815.

b  Agreements may be terminated at will by either party without penalty. Payment is due at termination/maturity.

c  Reflects the floating financing rate, as of November 30, 2021, on the notional amount of the swap agreement paid to the counterparty or received from the counterparty, excluding any commissions. This amount is included as part of the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

d  The Fund discloses amounts due to the Fund from the counterparty (unrealized appreciation on swap agreements) at period end as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Amounts due to the counterparty from the Fund (unrealized depreciation on swap agreements) are disclosed as a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund presents these amounts on a gross basis and does not offset or "net" these amounts on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

e  Represents the "uncollateralized" amount due from or (to) the counterparty at period end. These amounts could be due to timing differences between the movement of collateral in relation to market movements, or due to agreement provisions allowing minimum "thresholds" that would need to be exceeded prior to the movement of collateral. To the extent that a net amount is due from a counterparty, the Fund would be exposed to the counterparty by such amount and could suffer losses or delays in recovery of that amount in the event of a counterparty default.

a  The Fund's Swap Agreements are not accounted for as hedging instruments under ASC 815.

b  Agreements may be terminated at will by either party without penalty. Payment is due at termination/maturity.

c  Reflects the floating financing rate, as of November 30, 2021, on the notional amount of the swap agreement paid to the counterparty or received from the counterparty, excluding any commissions. This amount is included as part of the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

d  The Fund discloses amounts due to the Fund from the counterparty (unrealized appreciation on swap agreements) at period end as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Amounts due to the counterparty from the Fund (unrealized depreciation on swap agreements) are disclosed as a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund presents these amounts on a gross basis and does not offset or "net" these amounts on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

See accompanying notes to the financial statements.

e  Represents the "uncollateralized" amount due from or (to) the counterparty at period end. These amounts could be due to timing differences between the movement of collateral in relation to market movements, or due to agreement provisions allowing minimum "thresholds" that would need to be exceeded prior to the movement of collateral. To the extent that a net amount is due from a counterparty, the Fund would be exposed to the counterparty by such amount and could suffer losses or delays in recovery of that amount in the event of a counterparty default.

f  In order to facilitate the daily valuation of these swap transactions as of close of business New York time, one or more financial products traded on a U.S. exchange are used as the reference entity as a surrogate for the respective underlying index for the purposes of both daily valuation calculation as well as final settlement of the swap.

a  The Fund's Swap Agreements are not accounted for as hedging instruments under ASC 815.

b  Agreements may be terminated at will by either party without penalty. Payment is due at termination/maturity.

c  Reflects the floating financing rate, as of November 30, 2021, on the notional amount of the swap agreement paid to the counterparty or received from the counterparty, excluding any commissions. This amount is included as part of the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

d  The Fund discloses amounts due to the Fund from the counterparty (unrealized appreciation on swap agreements) at period end as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Amounts due to the counterparty from the Fund (unrealized depreciation on swap agreements) are disclosed as a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund presents these amounts on a gross basis and does not offset or "net" these amounts on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

e  Represents the "uncollateralized" amount due from or (to) the counterparty at period end. These amounts could be due to timing differences between the movement of collateral in relation to market movements, or due to agreement provisions allowing minimum "thresholds" that would need to be exceeded prior to the movement of collateral. To the extent that a net amount is due from a counterparty, the Fund would be exposed to the counterparty by such amount and could suffer losses or delays in recovery of that amount in the event of a counterparty default.

f  See the U.S. Treasury Obligations section of the preceding Schedule of Portfolio Investments for the representative components of the underlying reference instrument and their relative weightings.

g  Certain underlying component disclosures related to this index may be found on the website at www.proshares.com/media/FTSE30-Year_TIPS_November.pdf

d  The Fund discloses amounts due to the Fund from the counterparty (unrealized appreciation on swap agreements) at period end as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Amounts due to the counterparty from the Fund (unrealized depreciation on swap agreements) are disclosed as a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund presents these amounts on a gross basis and does not offset or "net" these amounts on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

e  Represents the "uncollateralized" amount due from or (to) the counterparty at period end. These amounts could be due to timing differences between the movement of collateral in relation to market movements, or due to agreement provisions allowing minimum "thresholds" that would need to be exceeded prior to the movement of collateral. To the extent that a net amount is due from a counterparty, the Fund would be exposed to the counterparty by such amount and could suffer losses or delays in recovery of that amount in the event of a counterparty default.

a  The Fund's Swap Agreements are not accounted for as hedging instruments under ASC 815.

b  Agreements may be terminated at will by either party without penalty. Payment is due at termination/maturity.

c  Reflects the floating financing rate, as of November 30, 2021, on the notional amount of the swap agreement paid to the counterparty or received from the counterparty, excluding any commissions. This amount is included as part of the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

d  The Fund discloses amounts due to the Fund from the counterparty (unrealized appreciation on swap agreements) at period end as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Amounts due to the counterparty from the Fund (unrealized depreciation on swap agreements) are disclosed as a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund presents these amounts on a gross basis and does not offset or "net" these amounts on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

e  Represents the "uncollateralized" amount due from or (to) the counterparty at period end. These amounts could be due to timing differences between the movement of collateral in relation to market movements, or due to agreement provisions allowing minimum "thresholds" that would need to be exceeded prior to the movement of collateral. To the extent that a net amount is due from a counterparty, the Fund would be exposed to the counterparty by such amount and could suffer losses or delays in recovery of that amount in the event of a counterparty default.

f  Certain underlying short component disclosures related to this index may be found on the website at www.proshares.com/media/Merger_Acquirers_November.pdf.

g  See the Common Stocks section of the preceding Schedule of Portfolio Investments for the representative long components of the underlying reference instrument and their relative weightings.

d  The Fund discloses amounts due to the Fund from the counterparty (unrealized appreciation on swap agreements) at period end as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Amounts due to the counterparty from the Fund (unrealized depreciation on swap agreements) are disclosed as a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund presents these amounts on a gross basis and does not offset or "net" these amounts on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

e  Represents the "uncollateralized" amount due from or (to) the counterparty at period end. These amounts could be due to timing differences between the movement of collateral in relation to market movements, or due to agreement provisions allowing minimum "thresholds" that would need to be exceeded prior to the movement of collateral. To the extent that a net amount is due from a counterparty, the Fund would be exposed to the counterparty by such amount and could suffer losses or delays in recovery of that amount in the event of a counterparty default.

154 :: FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS PROSHARES TRUST


ProShares Trust Notes to Financial Highlights:

(a)  Per share net investment income (loss) has been calculated using the average daily shares method.

(b)  Includes transaction fees associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

(c)  Not annualized for periods less than one year.

(d)  Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, if any, and redemption on the last day of the period at net asset value. This percentage is not an indication of the performance of a shareholder's investment in the Fund based on market value due to differences between the market price of the shares and the net asset value per share of the Fund.

(e)  Market value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the market value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, if any, and redemption on the last day of the period at market value. Market value is determined by the composite closing price. Composite closing security price is defined as the last reported sale price from any primary listing market (e.g., NYSE and NASDAQ) or participating regional exchanges or markets. The composite closing price is the last reported sale price from any of the eligible sources, regardless of volume and not an average price and may have occurred on a date prior to the close of the reporting period. Market value may be greater or less than net asset value, depending on the Fund's closing price on the listing market.

(f)  Annualized for periods less than one year.

(g)  Portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to instruments having a maturity of less than one year from acquisition or derivative instruments (including swap agreements and futures contracts). The portfolio turnover rate can be high and volatile due to the sales and purchases of fund shares during the period. In-Kind transactions are not included in the portfolio turnover calculations.

(h)  Per share amount is less than $0.005.

(i)  The amount shown for a share outstanding throughout the period is not in accordance with the aggregate net realized and unrealized gain (loss) for that period because of the timing of sales and repurchases of the Fund shares in relation to fluctuating market value of the investments in the Fund.

(j)  Reflects a special dividend paid out during the period by one of the Fund's holdings. Had the Fund not received the special dividend, the net investment income (loss) per share would have been $1.81 and the net investment income (loss) net of waivers ratio would have been 4.64%.

(k)  Per share amounts have been restated on a retroactive basis to reflect a 1:5 reverse stock split effective April 21, 2020.

(l)  During the year, the Fund invested in certain exchange traded funds for a limited period of time. The portfolio turnover rate shown above reflects the impact of that investment over the period of time during which the Fund held those exchange traded funds. If the calculation of portfolio turnover included periods in which the Fund did not hold these exchange traded funds, the portfolio turnover rate would have been 1,324%.

(m)  Reflects special dividends paid out during the period by one of the Fund's holdings. Had the Fund not received the special dividends, the net investment income (loss) per share would have been $(0.38) and the net investment income (loss) net of waivers ratio would have been (0.45)%.

(n)  Includes net futures account fees amounting to 0.02%. Excluding these fees, the ratio of expenses to average net assets would have been 0.65%.

(o)  Includes net futures account fees amounting to 0.03%. Excluding these fees, the ratio of expenses to average net assets would have been 0.65%.

(p)  Per share amounts have been restated on a retroactive basis to reflect a 2:1 stock split effective January 13, 2022.

#  Amount has been reclassified based on the tax character of the distributions for the tax year ended October 31, 2020.

See accompanying notes to the financial statements.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS PROSHARES TRUST :: 155


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

156 :: NOVEMBER 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) :: NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PROSHARES TRUST


1. Organization

ProShares Trust (the "Trust") is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"). The Trust was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on May 29, 2002, has authorized capital of an unlimited number of shares at no par value and is comprised of 123 operational funds. These accompanying Notes to Financial Statements relate to the portfolios of the Trust included in this report (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund"). Each Fund qualifies as an investment company as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Financial Services — Investment Companies. Each Fund is considered to be "non-diversified" under the 1940 Act, except for ProShares DJ Brookfield Global Infrastructure ETF, ProShares Equities for Rising Rates ETF, ProShares High Yield-Interest Rate Hedged, ProShares Investment Grade-Interest Rate Hedged, ProShares MSCI EAFE Dividend Growers ETF, ProShares MSCI Emerging Markets Dividend Growers ETF, ProShares MSCI Europe Dividend Growers ETF, ProShares MSCI Transformational Changes ETF, ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF, ProShares Russell U.S. Dividend Growers ETF, ProShares S&P 500® Bond ETF, ProShares S&P 500® Dividend Aristocrats ETF, ProShares S&P 500® Ex-Energy ETF, ProShares S&P 500® Ex-Financials ETF, ProShares S&P 500® Ex-Health Care ETF, ProShares S&P 500® Ex-Technology ETF, ProShares S&P MidCap 400® Dividend Aristocrats ETF and ProShares Short Term USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The net asset value per share ("NAV") of each Fund, except as detailed below, is generally determined as of the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on which it is listed (is typically calculated as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each business day. The NAV of ProShares High Yield — Interest Rate Hedged, ProShares Inflation Expectations ETF, ProShares Investment Grade — Interest Rate Hedged, ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF, ProShares S&P 500® Bond ETF and ProShares Short Term USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF is typically calculated as of 3:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on each business day. The NAV of ProShares K-1 Free Crude Oil Strategy ETF is typically calculated as of 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on each business day when the Cboe BZX Exchange Inc. ("BZX Exchange") is open for trading. The NAV of each of ProShares MSCI EAFE Dividend Growers ETF and ProShares MSCI Europe Dividend Growers ETF is typically calculated as of 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time (this time may vary due to differences in when daylight savings time is effective between London and New York. The actual valuation time is 4:30 p.m., London Time).

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. The actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation

The Funds record their investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a

liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The securities in the portfolio of a Fund that are listed or traded on a stock exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market, except as otherwise noted, are generally valued at the closing price, if available, or the last sale price on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, generally using information provided by a third party pricing service, or market quotations. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy described below. If there have been no sales for that day on the exchange or system where the security is principally traded, then fair value may be determined with reference to the mean of the latest bid and asked quotes, if applicable, on the exchange or system. If there have been no sales or quotes of the security for that day on the exchange or system, the security will be valued in accordance with procedures approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board").

Exchange traded funds held by ProShares K-1 Free Crude Oil Strategy ETF are valued at the last traded price at the time the Fund NAV is determined, and will typically be categorized as a Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Exchange traded funds held by ProShares Morningstar Alternatives Solution ETF are valued at the mean of the closing composite bid/ask spread, and will typically be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Exchange traded funds held by other Funds are generally valued at the closing price, if available, or the last sale price as described above, and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Securities regularly traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") markets, including securities listed on an exchange but that are primarily traded OTC, other than those traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, are valued on the basis of the mean between the bid and asked quotes furnished by primary market makers for those instruments. Fixed-income securities are valued according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, generally at the mean of the bid and asked quotes for U.S. Treasury securities and at the bid or evaluated bid price for Sovereign, Sub-Sovereign and Quasi-Sovereign bonds and corporate bonds. Centrally cleared index-based swaps are generally valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices as furnished by an independent pricing service. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Exchange traded bond, commodity and currency futures contracts are generally valued at the official futures settlement price, except for currency futures contracts held by Hedge Replication ETF which are generally valued at their last sale price prior to the time at which the NAV of the Fund is determined. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. If there was no sale on that day, fair valuation procedures as described below may be applied. Non-exchange traded derivatives (e.g. non-exchange traded swap agreements) are generally valued using independent sources and/or agreement with counterparties or other procedures approved by the Board and are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

When ProShare Advisors LLC (the "Advisor") determines that the price of a security is not readily available or deemed unreliable (e.g., an approved pricing service does not provide a price, a furnished price is in error, certain prices become stale, or an event occurs that materially affects the furnished price), the Advisor may, in good faith, establish a fair value for that security in accordance with procedures established

PROSHARES TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS :: NOVEMBER 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) :: 157


by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the Trust's policy is intended to result in a calculation of a Fund's NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Trust cannot ensure that fair values determined by the Advisor or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that a Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by a Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements. Depending on the source and relevant significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions which are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds (observable inputs) and (2) the Funds' own assumptions about market participant assumptions which are developed based on the best information available under the circumstances

(unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:

•  Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

•  Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

•  Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, short-term debt securities maturing in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2. Fair value measurements may also require additional disclosure when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased, as well as when circumstances indicate that a transaction is not orderly.

The following is a summary of the valuations as of November 30, 2021, for each Fund based upon the three levels defined above:

Foreign Currency Translation

Each Fund's accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and commitments under forward foreign currency exchange contracts are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of London world markets except that such translations with respect to the ProShares Big Data Refiners ETF, ProShares DJ Brookfield Global Infrastructure ETF, ProShares Global Listed Private Equity ETF, ProShares Merger ETF, ProShares MSCI Emerging Markets Dividend Growers ETF, ProShares MSCI Transformational Changes ETF, ProShares Nanotechnology ETF, ProShares On-Demand ETF, ProShares Pet Care ETF, ProShares S&P Kensho Cleantech ETF, S&P Kensho Smart Factories ETF and ProShares Smart Materials ETF each utilize the last quoted New York rates prior to 4:00 p.m. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Repurchase Agreements

Each of the Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are primarily used by the Funds as short-term investments for cash positions. Under a repurchase agreement, a Fund purchases one or more debt securities and simultaneously agrees to sell those securities back to the seller at a mutually agreed-upon future price and date, normally one day or a few days later. The resale price is greater than the purchase price, reflecting an agreed-upon market interest rate during the purchaser's holding period. While the maturities of the underlying securities in repurchase transactions may be more than one year, the term of each repurchase agreement will always be less than one year. The Funds follow certain procedures designed to minimize the risks inherent in such agreements. These procedures include effecting repurchase transactions generally with major global financial institutions whose creditworthiness is monitored by the Advisor. In addition, the value of the collateral underlying the repurchase agreement is required to be at least equal to the repurchase price, including any accrued interest income earned on the repurchase agreement. The Funds may invest in repurchase agreements through joint account arrangements; in such cases, each Fund holds a pro rata share of the collateral and interest income based upon the dollar amount of the repurchase agreements entered into by each Fund. The collateral underlying the repurchase agreement is held by the Fund's custodian. A repurchase agreement is subject to the risk that the counterparty to the repurchase agreement that sells the securities may default on its obligation to repurchase them. In this circumstance, a Fund may lose money because it may not be able to sell the securities at the agreed upon time and price, the securities may lose value before they can be sold, the selling institution may declare bankruptcy or the Fund may have difficulty exercising rights to the collateral. During periods of high demand for repurchase agreements, the Funds may be unable to invest available cash in these instruments to the extent desired by the Advisor.

ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF may enter into reverse repurchase agreements as part of its investment strategy, which may be viewed as a form of borrowing. Reverse repurchase agreements involve sales by the Fund of portfolio assets for cash concurrently with an agreement by the Fund to repurchase those same assets at a later date at a fixed price. Generally, the effect of such a transaction is that the Fund can recover all or most of the cash invested in the portfolio securities involved during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement, while the Fund will be able to keep the interest income associated with those portfolio securities. Such transactions are advantageous only if the

interest cost to the Fund of the reverse repurchase transaction is less than the cost of obtaining the cash otherwise. For the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, the interest on reverse repurchase agreements is part of the unitary fee and is not a direct fund expense. Opportunities to achieve this advantage may not always be available, and the Fund intends to use the reverse repurchase technique only when it will be to the Fund's advantage to do so. The Fund will segregate with its custodian bank cash or liquid instruments equal in value to the Fund's obligations with respect to reverse repurchase agreements.

As of November 30, 2021, the Fund's outstanding balances on reverse repurchase agreements were as follows:

Equity Securities

Certain Funds may invest in equity securities, including in shares of foreign or U.S. common stock, Real Estate Investment Trusts, Depositary Receipts, and shares of other Investment Companies, including other exchange traded funds ("ETFs").

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") and Business Development Companies ("BDCs")

REITs and BDCs report information on the source of their distributions annually. A portion of distributions received from REITs and BDCs during the period is estimated to be dividend income, realized gain or return of capital. These estimates are adjusted when the actual source of distributions is disclosed by the REITs and BDCs.

Debt Instruments

Certain Funds may invest in debt instruments, including U.S. government securities; foreign sovereign, sub-sovereign, quasi-sovereign and supranational; Foreign and U.S. investment grade corporate debt securities. Additionally, certain Funds may invest in (lower rated) debt instruments (also known as "junk bonds") that are rated below "investment grade" by Moody's, Standard and Poor's and/or Fitch, Inc.

Securities Lending

Each Fund may lend securities to brokers, dealers and financial organizations in exchange for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. dollar-denominated securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities loaned, marked to market daily. Each security loaned will be secured continuously by collateral in the form of cash, Money Market Instruments or U.S. Government securities. When a Fund lends its securities, it continues to receive payments equal to the dividends and interest paid on the securities loaned and simultaneously may earn interest on the reinvestment of the cash collateral. Any cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with these loans may be reinvested in a variety of short-term investments. Any securities collateral received by the Fund in connection with these loans may not be sold or pledged by the Fund and, accordingly, are not reflected in the Fund's assets and liabilities. The Funds may incur fees and expenses in connection with the reinvestment of cash collateral. For security loans collateralized by cash, borrowers may be entitled to receive a fee based on the amount of collateral. The Funds are typically compensated by the difference between the amount earned on the reinvestment of cash collateral and any fees paid to the borrower. Although voting and other rights attendant to securities loaned pass to the borrower, such loans may be recalled so that the securities may be voted on by the Fund if a material event affecting

162 :: NOVEMBER 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) :: NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PROSHARES TRUST


the Fund's investment in the securities on loan is to occur. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time. Not all Funds may participate in securities lending at any given time. No securities loan shall be made on behalf of a Fund if, as a result, the aggregate value of all securities loaned by the particular Fund exceeds one-third of the value of such Fund's total assets (including the value of the collateral received).

Securities lending involves exposure to certain risks, including "gap" risk (i.e., the risk of a mismatch between the return on cash collateral reinvestments and any fees a Fund has agreed to pay a borrower), operational risk (i.e., the risk of losses resulting from problems in the settlement and the accounting process), legal, counterparty and credit risk. If a securities lending counterparty were to default, a Fund would be subject to the risk of a possible delay in receiving collateral or in recovering the loaned securities, or to a possible loss of rights in the collateral. In the event a borrower does not return a Fund's securities as agreed, the Fund may experience losses if the proceeds received from liquidating the collateral do not at least equal the value of the loaned security at the time the collateral is liquidated, plus the transaction costs incurred in purchasing replacement securities. This event could trigger adverse tax consequences for a Fund. The investment of cash collateral deposited by the borrower is subject to inherent market risks such as interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and other risks that are present in the market. A Fund could lose money if its short-term reinvestment of the collateral declines in value over the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund, or excess collateral returned by the Fund, on the next business day.

Sovereign/Sub-Sovereign/Quasi-Sovereign Debt Securities

ProShares Short Term USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF principally invests in USD-denominated Emerging Market bonds that have between zero to five years remaining to maturity that are issued by Emerging Market sovereign governments, non-sovereign government agencies and entities, and corporations with significant government ownership. These types of debt securities are typically general obligations of the issuer and are typically guaranteed by such issuer. Despite this guarantee, such debt securities are subject to default, restructuring or changes to the terms of the debt to the detriment of security holders. Also, due to demand from other investors, certain types of these debt securities may be less accessible to the capital markets and may be difficult for the Fund to source.

U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities

U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPs") are inflation-protected public obligations of the U.S. Treasury. Inflation-protected bonds are fixed-income securities whose interest and principal payments are periodically adjusted for inflation. As the index measuring inflation changes, the interest and principal payments of inflation-protected bonds will be adjusted accordingly. Because of the inflation-adjustment feature, inflation-protected bonds typically have lower yields than conventional fixed rate bonds.

Accounting for Derivatives Instruments

In seeking to achieve the investment objectives of Funds whose objective is tied to an index or benchmark, the Advisor uses a passive approach to investing that is designed to track the performance of the Fund's underlying index or benchmark. Each such Fund attempts to achieve its investment objective by investing all, or substantially all, of its assets in investments that make up its index or in financial instruments that provide similar exposure.

In connection with its management of certain series of the Trust included in this report (i.e. ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, ProShares K-1 Free Crude Oil Strategy ETF and ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF (the "Commodity Pools")), the Advisor has registered as a commodity pool operator (a "CPO") and the Commodity Pools are commodity pools under the Commodity Exchange Act (the "CEA"). Accordingly, the Advisor is subject to registration and regulation as a CPO under the CEA, and must comply with various regulatory requirements under the CEA and the rules and regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") and the National Futures Association ("NFA"), including investor protection requirements, antifraud provisions, disclosure requirements and reporting and record keeping requirements. The Advisor is also subject to periodic inspections and audits by the CFTC and NFA. Compliance with these regulatory requirements could adversely affect the Commodity Pools' total return. In this regard, any further amendment to the CEA or its related regulations that subject the Advisor or the Commodity Pools to additional regulation may have adverse impacts on the Commodity Pools' operations and expenses.

All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on each respective Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Certain Funds utilized a varying level of derivative instruments in conjunction with investment securities in seeking to meet their investment objective during the period. While the volume of open positions may vary on a daily basis as each Fund transacts derivative contracts in order to achieve the appropriate exposure to meet its investment objective, the volume of these open positions relative to the net assets of each respective Fund at the date of this report is generally representative of open positions throughout the reporting period.

For financial reporting purposes, the Trust can offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Funds holding forward currency contracts and/or non-exchange traded swap agreements present the gross amounts of these assets and liabilities on their Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Information concerning the value of and amounts due under Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreement transactions may be found on each Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Information concerning the counterparties to each Repurchase Agreement and levels of collateralization may be found above, under the caption "Repurchase Agreements."

Following is a description of the Funds' use of derivative instruments, the types of derivatives utilized by the Funds during the reporting period, as well as the primary underlying risk exposures related to each instrument type.

PROSHARES TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS :: NOVEMBER 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) :: 163


Futures Contracts

Each Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts and options thereon as a substitute for a comparable market position in the underlying securities or to satisfy regulatory requirements. A physical-settlement futures contract generally obligates the seller to deliver (and the purchaser to take delivery of) the specified asset on the expiration date of the contract. A cash-settled futures contract obligates the seller to deliver (and the purchaser to accept) an amount of cash equal to a specific dollar amount (the contract multiplier) multiplied by the difference between the final settlement price of a specific futures contract and the price at which the agreement is made. No physical delivery of the underlying asset is made.

The Funds generally engage in closing or offsetting transactions before final settlement of a futures contract, wherein a second identical futures contract is sold to offset a long position (or bought to offset a short position). In such cases, the obligation is to deliver (or take delivery of) cash equal to a specific dollar amount (the contract multiplier) multiplied by the difference between the price of the offsetting transaction and the price at which the original contract was entered into. If the original position entered into is a long position (futures contract purchased) there will be a gain (loss) if the offsetting sell transaction is carried out at a higher (lower) price, inclusive of commissions. If the original position entered into is a short position (futures contract sold) there will be a gain (loss) if the offsetting buy transaction is carried out at a lower (higher) price, inclusive of commissions.

Whether a Fund realizes a gain or loss from futures activities depends generally upon movements in the underlying currency, commodity, security or index. The extent of the Fund's loss from an unhedged short position in futures contracts or from writing options on futures contracts is potentially unlimited. Each Fund will engage in transactions in futures contracts and related options that are traded on a U.S. exchange or board of trade or that have been approved for sale in the U.S. by the CFTC.

Upon entering into a futures contract, each Fund will be required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents in the range of approximately 5% to 10% of the contract amount for equity, index and commodity futures and in the range of approximately 1% to 3% of the contract amount for bond and currency futures (these amounts are subject to change by the exchange on which the contract is traded). This amount, known as "initial margin," is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on the contract and is returned to the Fund upon termination of the futures contract, assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied. Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin," to and from the broker will be made as the price of the security, currency, commodity or index underlying the futures contract fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable, a process known as "marking-to-market." At any time prior to expiration of a futures contract, a Fund may elect to close its position by taking an opposite position, which will operate to terminate the Fund's existing position in the contract.

The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the futures and the market value of the underlying assets, and the possibility of an illiquid market for a futures contract. Although each Fund intends to

sell futures contracts only if there is an active market for such contracts, no assurance can be given that a liquid market will exist for any particular contract at any particular time. Many futures exchanges and boards of trade limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in futures contract prices during a single trading day. Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made that day at a price beyond that limit, or trading may be suspended for specified periods during the day. Futures contract prices could move to the limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of futures positions and potentially subjecting a Fund to substantial losses. If trading is not possible, or if a Fund determines not to close a futures position in anticipation of adverse price movements, the Fund will be required to make daily cash payments of variation margin. The risk that the Fund will be unable to close out a futures position will be minimized by entering into such transactions on a national exchange with an active and liquid secondary market. In addition, although the counterparty to a futures contract is often a clearing organization, backed by a group of financial institutions, there may be instances in which the counterparty could fail to perform its obligations, causing significant losses to a Fund.

Forward Currency Contracts

Each Fund may invest in forward currency contracts for investment or risk management purposes. A forward currency contract is an obligation to buy or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are entered into on the interbank market conducted directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers.

At or before the maturity of a forward currency contract, a Fund may either sell a portfolio security and make delivery of the currency, or retain the security and terminate its contractual obligation to deliver the currency by buying an "offsetting" contract obligating it to buy, on the same maturity date, the same amount of the currency. If the Fund engages in an offsetting transaction, it may later enter into a new forward currency contract to sell the currency.

If a Fund engages in offsetting transactions, the Fund will incur a gain or loss, to the extent that there has been movement in forward currency contract prices. If forward prices go down during the period between the date a Fund enters into a forward currency contract for the sale of a currency and the date it enters into an offsetting contract for the purchase of the currency, the Fund will realize a gain to the extent that the price of the currency it has agreed to sell exceeds the price of the currency it has agreed to buy. If forward prices go up, the Fund will suffer a loss to the extent the price of the currency it has agreed to buy exceeds the price of the currency it has agreed to sell.

Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in U.S. dollars without the delivery of foreign currency.

Swap Agreements

Each Fund may enter into swap agreements to gain exposure to an underlying asset without actually purchasing such asset (or shorting such asset), or to hedge a position, including in circumstances in

164 :: NOVEMBER 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) :: NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PROSHARES TRUST


which direct investment is restricted for legal reasons or is otherwise impracticable. Swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods 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 a particular pre-determined investment or instrument. 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 or an ETF representing a particular index or group of securities.

Most swap agreements entered into by a Fund calculate and settle the obligations of the parties to the agreement on a "net basis" with a single payment. Consequently, a Fund's current obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the positions held by each party to the agreement (the "net amount").

When investing in swap agreements, the Funds may hold or gain exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in an index, or to a component of the index.

On a typical long swap, the counterparty will generally agree to pay the Fund the amount, if any, by which the notional amount of the swap agreement would have increased in value had it been invested in the particular underlying assets (e.g., an ETF, or securities comprising an index), plus any dividends or interest that would have been received on those assets. The Fund will agree to pay to the counterparty a floating rate of interest on the notional amount of the swap agreement plus the amount, if any, by which the notional amount would have decreased in value had it been invested in such assets plus, in certain circumstances, commissions or trading spreads on the notional amount. Therefore, the return to the Fund on a long swap should be the gain or loss on the notional amount plus dividends or interest on the assets less the interest paid by the Fund on the notional amount. As a trading technique, the Advisor may substitute physical securities with a swap agreement having investment characteristics substantially similar to the underlying securities.

Some Funds may also enter into swap agreements that provide the opposite return of their index or a security. These swaps are similar to the long swaps disclosed above except that the counterparty pays interest to each Fund on the notional amount outstanding and that dividends or interest on the underlying instruments reduce the value of the swap. In addition, in certain instances, each Fund will agree to pay to the counterparty commissions or trading spreads on the notional amount. These amounts are netted with any unrealized gain or loss to determine the value of the swap.

A Fund's current obligations under most swap agreements (total return swaps, equity/index swaps, interest rate swaps) will be accrued daily (offset against any amounts owed to the Fund) and any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed to a swap counterparty will be covered by segregating or earmarking cash and/or securities determined to be liquid, but typically no payments will be made until the settlement date.

A Fund will not enter into uncleared swap agreements (i.e., not cleared by a central counterparty) unless the Advisor believes that the counterparty to the transaction is creditworthy. The counterparty to an

uncleared swap agreement will typically be a major global financial institution. A Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. If such a default occurs, a Fund will have contractual remedies pursuant to the swap agreements, but such remedies may be subject to bankruptcy and insolvency laws that could affect the Fund's rights as a creditor.

In the normal course of business, a Fund enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") agreements with certain counterparties for derivative transactions. These agreements contain, among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations. Certain of the Fund's ISDA agreements contain provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund's NAV over specific periods of time, which may or may not be exclusive of redemptions. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, counterparties to the ISDA agreements could elect to terminate such ISDA agreements and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any, under the relevant ISDA agreement. Pursuant to the terms of its ISDA agreements, the Fund will have already collateralized its liability under such agreements, in some cases only in excess of certain threshold amounts. The Funds seek to mitigate risks by generally requiring that the counterparties for each Fund agree to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to what the counterparty owes the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds, although the Funds may not always be successful. To the extent any such collateral is insufficient or there are delays in accessing the collateral, the Funds will be exposed to risks, including possible delays in recovering amounts as a result of bankruptcy proceedings.

The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques and risks in addition to, and in some cases different from, those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The primary risks associated with the use of swap agreements are mispricing or improper valuation, imperfect correlation between movements in the notional amount and the price of the underlying investments, and the inability of counterparties or clearing organizations to perform. A Fund may use a combination of swaps on an underlying index and swaps on an ETF that is designed to track the performance of that index, or it may solely use swaps on an ETF to achieve its desired investment exposure. The performance of an ETF may not track the performance of its underlying index due to embedded costs and other factors. Thus, to the extent a Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, that Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk and may not achieve as high a degree of correlation with its index as it would if the Fund used only swaps on the underlying index. The Advisor, under supervision from the Board, is responsible for determining and monitoring the liquidity of the Funds' transactions in swap agreements.

All of the outstanding swap agreements held by the Funds on November 30, 2021 contractually terminate within 26 months but may be terminated without penalty by either party daily. Upon termination, the Fund is entitled to receive or pay the "unrealized appreciation or depreciation" amount existing at the date of termination.

PROSHARES TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS :: NOVEMBER 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) :: 165


The Financial Accounting Standards Board, pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 815-10 ("ASC 815-10"), requires companies (including the Trust) to disclose information intended to enable financial statement users to understand how derivative instruments affect the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as well as the affect of derivative instruments on the Statements of Operations during the reporting period, in the context of each entity's risk exposure. ASC 815-10 provides examples of risk exposure, including interest rate, foreign exchange, equity, commodity and credit.

As the Funds' investment objective is to provide investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the return of its underlying index on a daily basis (except for the ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF, which seeks to provide positive returns that are not directly correlated to broad equity or fixed income markets), the

derivatives utilized are aligned to the same primary risk. The primary risk exposure for those Funds benchmarked to an equity index is equity risk, for Funds benchmarked to a fixed-income index the primary risk is interest rate risk and for the foreign currency contracts held by ProShares Merger ETF and for the currency futures contracts held by ProShares Hedge Replication ETF and ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF, the primary risk is foreign currency risk. The primary risk for ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, ProShares K-1 Free Crude Oil Strategy ETF and ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF is commodity market risk.

The following tables indicate the location of derivative-related items on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as well as the effect of derivative instruments on the Statements of Operations during the reporting period.

Taxes and Distributions

Each of the Funds intends to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

As of November 30, 2021, management of the Funds has reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions (the last four tax year ends including the interim tax periods since then, as applicable) and concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months.

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net capital gain, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales, 1256 mark-to-market, partnerships, passive foreign investment companies mark-to-market, constructive sales adjustments and qualified late-year loss deferrals) do not require a reclassification. The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. While subject to management's discretion, any available tax equalization is typically applied first to short-term capital gains, next to long-term capital gains and then to ordinary income. To the extent distributions exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes, they are reported as a tax return of capital.

Temporary differences are generally due to differing book and tax treatments for the timing of the recognition of gains and losses on certain investment transactions and the timing and the deductibility of certain expenses. Permanent differences, primarily due to gain (loss) on in-kind redemptions, reclassification on sale of derivatives, designation of taxable distributions in excess, utilization of earnings and profits distributed to the shareholders on redemption of shares and nondeductible expenses, resulted in reclassifications as of October 31, 2021 (the Funds' most recent tax year end), among the Funds' components of net assets.

As of October 31, 2021 (the Funds' most recent tax year end), the Funds had capital loss carry forwards ("CLCFs") available to offset future realized gains, if any, to the extent provided for by regulations and to thereby reduce the amount of future taxable capital gain distributions. Under current tax law, CLCFs retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses, and are not subject to expiration.

At October 31, 2021 (the Funds' most recent tax year end), the following Funds had available CLCFs:

3. Investment Transactions, Income and Expense Allocations

Throughout the reporting period, investment transactions are generally accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions on the last business day of the reporting period are accounted for on the trade date.

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except for certain foreign dividends that may be recorded as soon as such information becomes available. Non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund, while expenses which are attributable to more than one Fund or jointly with an affiliate, are allocated among the respective Funds and/or affiliates based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis.

PROSHARES TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS :: NOVEMBER 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) :: 171


4. Advisory and Management Service Fees and Transactions with Affiliates

The Advisor serves as the investment adviser to each Fund subject to an expense limitation, as outlined in the table below (the "Capped Funds"), pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement. For its investment advisory services, each Capped Fund pays the Advisor a monthly fee, accrued daily at an annualized rate based on its average daily net assets. Pursuant to a separate Management Services Agreement, the Advisor performs certain administrative services on behalf of the Capped Funds, such as negotiating, coordinating and implementing the Trust's contractual obligations with the Funds' service providers; monitoring, overseeing and reviewing the performance of such service providers to ensure adherence to applicable contractual obligations; and preparing or coordinating reports and presentations to the Board of Trustees with respect to such service providers. For these and other services, each Capped Fund pays the Advisor monthly management services fees, accrued daily at an annualized rate based on its average daily net assets.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive advisory and management services fees, and if necessary, reimburse certain other expenses, in order to limit the annual operating expenses of each Capped Fund. These expense limitations remain in effect until the dates specified in the table below, after which they may be terminated or revised.

For the period ended November 30, 2021, advisory and management services fees, waivers, reimbursements, and expense limitations were as follows:

*  In addition to the expense limitations disclosed above, the Advisor has entered into an Advisory Fee Waiver Agreement for each Fund that reduces the annualized advisory fee rate subject to the following breakpoints: 0.75% of the first $4.0 billion of average daily net assets of the Fund, 0.70% of the next $1.5 billion, 0.65% of the next $1.5 billion, 0.60% of the next $1.5 billion and 0.55% of average daily net assets of the Fund over $8.5 billion. To the extent that a Fund achieves an asset breakpoint, the Advisor will waive fees in order to match the corresponding reduction in the tiered advisory fee limit. Any such waivers are reflected as a component of "Expenses waived and/or reimbursed by Advisor" on the Statements of Operations, and are not subject to subsequent recoupment by the Advisor.

(1)  The Advisor has agreed to waive Investment Advisory and Management Services fees for the ProShares Morningstar Alternatives Solution ETF through October 31, 2022. Fees waived under this agreement are not subject to subsequent recoupment by the Advisor. The expense limitation of 0.95% is inclusive of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses ("AFFE") for this Fund. AFFE are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies. Because AFFE are not direct expenses of the Fund, they are not reflected on the Fund's financial statements.

For each Fund, amounts waived or reimbursed by the Advisor may be recouped by the Advisor within five years of the end of the applicable contractual period to the extent that such recoupments would not cause a Fund's annualized operating expenses to exceed the lesser of (1) the expense limitation in effect at the time of waiver, and (2) the expense limitation in effect at the time of recoupment. Any amounts recouped by the Advisor during the period are reflected in the Statements of Operations as "Recoupment of prior expenses waived and/or reimbursed by Advisor". As of November 30, 2021, the amounts eligible for recoupment and the date of expiration are as follows:

The Advisor also serves as the investment adviser to each Fund not subject to an expense limitation as outlined below (the "Unitary Fee Funds") pursuant to an Investment Advisory and Management Agreement. The Unitary Fee Funds pay the Advisor a monthly fee, accrued daily at an annualized rate based on average daily net assets for investment advisory and management services. The Advisor is responsible for substantially all other expenses of the Unitary Fee Funds except, generally, interest expenses (except that the Advisor will pay net expenses incurred in connection with investments in reverse repurchase agreements in ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF), taxes, brokerage and other transaction costs (except that the Advisor will pay account or similar fees charges by futures commission merchants in ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF), legal expenses fees and expenses related to securities lending, compensation and expenses of the Independent Trustees, compensation and expenses of the counsel to the Independent Trustees, compensation and expenses of the Trust's chief compliance officer and his or her staff, legal fees and expenses in connection with litigation, future distribution fees or expenses (if any), and extraordinary expenses.

ProShares Morningstar Alternatives Solution ETF invests exclusively in Underlying ETFs that are affiliated with the Advisor. The Fund's position in an Underlying Fund could be material to the Underlying Fund. At the end of the reporting period, the Fund's investments in Underlying Funds amounted to the following approximate percentages of the Underlying Funds' net assets: ProShares DJ Brookfield Global Infrastructure ETF — 1.5%; ProShares Global Listed Private Equity ETF — 5.3%; ProShares Hedge Replication ETF — 4.1%; ProShares Inflation Expectations ETF — 2.4%; ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF — 12.2%; ProShares Merger ETF — 3.3%; and ProShares RAFITM Long/Short — 17.8%.

Employees of the Advisor serve in the roles of Interested Trustee, President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary of the Trust. These individuals receive no compensation directly from the Trust. Another employee of the Advisor serves as Chief Compliance Officer and Anti-Money Laundering Officer. This individual's related compensation, along with the compensation of staff who administer the Funds' compliance program, and certain other expenses are reimbursed to the Advisor by the Funds and are reflected on the Statements of Operations as "Compliance services fees".

5. Administration Fees

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acts as the Trust's administrator (the "Administrator"). The Administrator provides certain administrative services to the Funds, including fund accounting, fund administration and certain compliance services, pursuant to a Fund Services Agreement. For these services, each Fund shall pay the Administrator monthly, a fee accrued daily and based on average net assets. Each Fund may also reimburse the Administrator for such out-of-pocket expenses as incurred by the Administrator in the performance of its duties. Such fees are reflected on the Statements of Operations as "Administration Fees". Certain employees of the Administrator are also officers of the Trust.

6. Custodian Fees

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acts as custodian for the Funds in accordance with a Custody Agreement. The custodian holds cash, securities and other assets of the Funds as required by the 1940 Act. Custodian fees are payable monthly based on assets held in custody, investment purchases and sales activity and account maintenance fees, plus reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses. Such fees are reflected on the Statements of Operations as "Custodian Fees".

7. Listing, Data and Related Fees

The Funds may incur costs relating to their initial and ongoing listing on an exchange and for the calculation and dissemination of Indicative Optimized Portfolio Values (IOPVs). Additionally, a Fund may enter into a license agreement for the right to use an Index and the related Trade Mark(s) and to receive data related to the index from the index provider. The portion of such costs attributed to each Fund is reflected on the Statements of Operations as "Listing, Data and related fees".

8. Trustees Fees

The Trust, together with other affiliated trusts, pay each Independent Trustee an aggregate fee consisting of a $325,000 annual retainer (paid in quarterly increments) for services provided as a Board member. Prior to July 1, 2021, each Independent trustee was paid a $185,000 annual

PROSHARES TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS :: NOVEMBER 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) :: 173


retainer for services provided as a Board member, plus a quarterly in-person meeting fee of $10,000, an in-person special meeting fee of $3,000 and a telephonic meeting fee of $3,000. Such fees are allocated between the Funds and other affiliated funds. Each Fund's share of these fees, together with reimbursable expenses of the Trustees, is reflected on the Statements of Operations as "Trustees Fees".

9. Distribution and Service Plan

SEI Investments Distribution Co. serves as the Funds' distributor. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Service (12b-1) Plan pursuant to which each Fund may bear a 12b-1 fee not to exceed 0.25% per annum of the Fund's average daily net assets. No 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Funds, and there are currently no plans to impose these fees.

10. Issuance and Redemption of Fund Shares

Each Fund issues and redeems its shares only to Authorized Participants (typically broker-dealers) in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of assets (securities and/or cash), in large blocks known as Creation Units, each of which is comprised of a specified number of shares.

To the extent the Funds permit the contribution of securities in exchange for the purchase of shares (contribution in-kind), shares may be issued in advance of receipt by the Fund of all or a portion of the applicable Deposit Securities. In these circumstances, the Fund may require the Authorized Participant to maintain with the Trust an amount up to 115% and/or 125% of the daily mark-to-market value of the missing Deposit Securities.

Retail investors may only purchase and sell Fund shares on a national securities exchange through a broker-dealer and such transactions may be subject to customary commission rates imposed by the broker-dealer.

Authorized Participants may pay transaction fees to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. Transaction fees related to unsettled Creation Unit transactions are included in the receivable for capital shares issued on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Transaction fees assessed during the period, which are included in the proceeds from shares issued on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, were as follows:

13. Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying Consolidated Schedules of Portfolio Investments, Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets, and Consolidated Financial Highlights of ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, ProShares K-1 Free Crude Oil Strategy ETF and ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF include the accounts of ProShares Cayman Bitcoin Strategy Portfolio, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, ProShares Cayman Crude Oil Strategy Portfolio, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ProShares K-1 Free Crude Oil Strategy ETF and ProShares Cayman Portfolio I, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (together, the "Subsidiaries" and each, a "Subsidiary"), which primarily invest in commodity-related instruments. The Subsidiaries enable the Funds to hold these commodity-related instruments and satisfy regulated investment company tax requirements. Each Fund will invest a significant portion of its total assets in its Subsidiary. As of November 30, 2021, the net assets of ProShares Cayman Bitcoin Strategy Portfolio were 45.0% of the net assets of ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, the net assets of

176 :: NOVEMBER 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) :: NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PROSHARES TRUST


ProShares Cayman Crude Oil Strategy Portfolio were 21.1% of the net assets of ProShares K-1 Free Crude Oil Strategy ETF and the net assets of ProShares Cayman Portfolio I were 4.6% of the net assets of ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF. Intercompany accounts and transactions, if any, have been eliminated. The Subsidiaries are subject to the same investment policies and restrictions that apply to ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, ProShares K-1 Free Crude Oil Strategy ETF and ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF, except that the Subsidiaries may invest without limitation in commodity-related instruments.

14. Risk

Some risks apply to all Funds, while others are specific to the investment strategy of certain Funds. Each Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks. This section discusses certain common principal risks encountered by the Funds.

•  Risks Associated with the Use of Derivatives

Certain Funds may obtain investment exposure through derivatives (including investing in futures contracts, options on futures contracts, securities and indexes, forward contracts, swap agreements and similar instruments). Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose a Fund to risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities underlying the derivative, including: 1) the risk that there may be imperfect correlation between the price of financial instruments and movements in the prices of the underlying reference asset(s); 2) the risk that an instrument is mispriced; 3) credit or counterparty risk on the amount each Fund expects to receive from a counterparty; 4) the risk that securities prices, interest rates and currency markets will move adversely and a Fund will incur significant losses; 5) the risk that the cost of holding a financial instrument might exceed its total return; and 6) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for a particular instrument and possible exchange-imposed price fluctuation limits, either of which may make it difficult or impossible to adjust a Fund's position in a particular instrument when desired. The occurrence of any of these factors may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Because derivatives often require limited initial investment, the use of derivatives also may expose the Fund to losses in excess of those amounts initially invested.

Certain Funds may use a combination of swaps on an underlying index or swaps on an ETF that is designed to track the performance of that index. The performance of an ETF may not track the performance of its underlying index due to embedded costs and other factors. Thus, to the extent a Fund invests in swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, that Fund may be subject to greater correlation risk and may not achieve as high a degree of correlation with its index as it would if the Fund used only swaps on the underlying index.

Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if an index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in a 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 costs associated with using derivatives will also have the effect of lowering the Fund's return.

The market for Bitcoin futures may be less developed, and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established futures markets. While the Bitcoin futures market has grown substantially since Bitcoin futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue. Bitcoin futures are subject to collateral requirements and daily limits that may limit the Fund's ability to achieve the desired exposure. If the Fund is unable to meet its investment objective, the Fund's returns may be lower than expected. Additionally, these collateral requirements may require the Fund to liquidate its position when it otherwise would not do so.

•  Bitcoin Risk

The Bitcoin Strategy ETF does not invest directly in Bitcoin. The Fund invests primarily in Bitcoin futures.

Bitcoin is a relatively new innovation and the market for Bitcoin is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. The further development of the Bitcoin Network and the acceptance and use of Bitcoin are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the Bitcoin Network or the acceptance of Bitcoin may adversely affect the price of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures, operational or other problems that impact Bitcoin trading venues. Additionally, if one or a coordinated group of miners were to gain control of 51% of the Bitcoin Network, they would have the ability to manipulate transactions, halt payments and fraudulently obtain Bitcoin. A significant portion of Bitcoin is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as "whales". These holders have the ability to manipulate the price of Bitcoin. Unlike the exchanges for more traditional assets, such as equity securities and futures contracts, Bitcoin and Bitcoin trading venues are largely unregulated. As a result of the lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation and investors may be more exposed to the risk of theft, fraud and market manipulation than when investing in more traditional asset classes. Over the past several years, a number of Bitcoin trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure or security breaches. Investors in Bitcoin may have little or no recourse should such theft, fraud or manipulation occur and could suffer significant losses. Legal or regulatory changes may negatively impact the operation of the Bitcoin Network or restrict the use of Bitcoin. The realization of any of these risks could result in a decline in the acceptance of Bitcoin

PROSHARES TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS :: NOVEMBER 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) :: 177


and consequently a reduction in the value of Bitcoin, Bitcoin futures, and the Fund. The Bitcoin Network is collectively maintained by (1) a decentralized group of participants who run computer software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly referred to as "miners"), (2) developers who propose improvements to the Bitcoin Protocol and the software that enforces the protocol and (3) users who choose which version of the bitcoin software to run. From time to time, the developers suggest changes to the bitcoin software. If a sufficient number of users and miners elect not to adopt the changes, a new digital asset, operating on the earlier version of the bitcoin software, may be created. This is often referred to as a "fork." The creation of a "fork" or a substantial giveaway of Bitcoin (sometimes referred to as an "air drop") may result in a significant and unexpected decline in the value of Bitcoin, Bitcoin futures, and the Fund.

•  Bitcoin Futures Risk

The market for Bitcoin futures may be less developed, and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established futures markets. While the Bitcoin futures market has grown substantially since Bitcoin futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue. Bitcoin futures are subject to collateral requirements and daily limits that may limit the Fund's ability to achieve the desired exposure. If the Fund is unable to meet its investment objective, the Fund's returns may be lower than expected. Additionally, these collateral requirements may require the Fund to liquidate its position when it otherwise would not do so.

When a Bitcoin futures contract is nearing expiration, the Fund will generally sell it and use the proceeds to buy a Bitcoin futures contract with a later expiration date. This is commonly referred to as "rolling". The costs associated with rolling Bitcoin futures typically are substantially higher than the costs associated with other futures contracts and may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund.

•  Borrowing Risk

The Bitcoin Strategy ETF may borrow for investment purposes using reverse repurchase agreements. Borrowing may cause a Fund to liquidate positions under adverse market conditions to satisfy its repayment obligations. Borrowing increases the risk of loss and may increase the volatility of the Fund.

•  Long/Short Risk

Certain Funds seek long exposure to certain securities and short exposure to certain other securities. There is no guarantee that the returns on a Fund's long or short positions will produce high, or even positive, returns. In addition, Funds subject to this risk may gain enhanced long exposure to certain securities (i.e., obtain investment exposure that exceeds the amount directly invested in those assets, a form of leverage) and, under such circumstances, will lose more money in market environments that are adverse to its long positions than funds that do not employ such leverage.

•  Concentration Risk

Certain Funds may typically concentrate their investments in issuers of one or more particular industries to the same extent that their underlying indexes are so concentrated and to the extent permitted by applicable regulatory guidance. There is a risk that those issuers (or industry sectors) will perform poorly and negatively impact a Fund. Concentration risk results from maintaining exposure (long or short) to issuers conducting business in a specific industry. The risk of concentrating investments in a limited number of issuers in a particular industry is that a Fund will be more susceptible to the risks associated with that industry than a Fund that does not concentrate its investments.

•  Correlation Risk

There is no guarantee that a Fund (or an Underlying ETF in the case of Morningstar Alternatives Solution ETF) whose investment objective, before fees and expenses, seeks correlation with an index will achieve a high degree of correlation with its index or the inverse thereof. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent a Fund from achieving its investment objective. The percentage change of the Fund's NAV each day may differ, perhaps significantly in amount, and possibly even direction, from the percentage change of the Fund's index on such day. A number of other factors may adversely affect a Fund's correlation with its index, including material over- or under-exposure, fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, infrequent trading in the securities underlying its index, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which a Fund invests. While each Fund generally attempts to track the performance of the Index by investing all, or substantially all, of its assets in the securities that make up the Index in approximately the same proportion as their weighting in the Index, at times a Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in its index, or, with respect to equity funds, its weighting of investment exposure to such securities, financial investments or industries may be different from that of the index. In addition, a Fund may invest in securities or financial investments not included in the index or in financial instruments. Each Fund may take or refrain from taking positions in order to improve tax efficiency or comply with regulatory restrictions, or for other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the Fund's correlation with its index. A Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily performance of the Fund and changes in the level of the Index potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or underexposed to its index and may be impacted by index reconstitutions and index rebalancing events. Additionally, a Fund's underlying investments may trade on markets that may or may not be open on the same day as the Fund. Furthermore, a Fund's currency holdings may be valued at a

178 :: NOVEMBER 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) :: NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PROSHARES TRUST


different time than the level of its index. In addition, the Funds with a foreign currency hedging strategy may also be unable to perfectly match the Index and will introduce additional costs, both sources of additional correlation risk. Any of these factors could decrease correlation between the performance of a Fund and the index and may hinder a Fund's ability to meet its investment objective.

•  Counterparty Risk

A Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments or otherwise meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount the Fund expects to receive from counterparties to financial instruments (including derivatives and repurchase agreements) entered into by the Fund. The Funds generally structure the agreements such that either party can terminate the contract without penalty prior to the termination date. If a counterparty terminates a contract, a Fund may not be able to invest in other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure, or achieving such exposure may be more expensive. A Fund may be negatively impacted if a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations under such an agreement.

At November 30, 2021, none of the Funds had net unrealized appreciation on swaps with a single counterparty which exceeded 5% of the Fund's net assets.

•  Geographic Concentration Risk

Certain Funds that focus their investments in companies economically tied to particular foreign countries or geographic regions may be particularly susceptible to political, social, economic or regulatory events affecting those countries or regions. The performance of such Funds may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund.

•  Foreign Currency Risk

Certain of the Funds' investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to more risk than those 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. Foreign currency losses could offset or exceed any potential gains, or add to losses, in the related investments. Regulatory fees or higher custody fees maybe imposed on foreign currency holdings.

•  LIBOR Risk

The terms of many investments, financings or other transactions to which a Fund may be a party have been historically tied to the London Interbank Offered Rate, or "LIBOR." LIBOR is the offered rate at which major international banks can obtain wholesale, unsecured funding, and LIBOR may be available for different durations (e.g., 1 month or 3 months) and for different currencies. LIBOR may be a significant factor in determining a Fund's payment obligations under a derivative investment, the cost of financing to a Fund or an investment's value or return to a Fund, and may be used in other ways that affect a Fund's investment performance. In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"), the United Kingdom's financial regulatory body, announced that after 2021 it will cease its active encouragement of banks to provide the quotations needed to sustain LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, the FCA and LIBOR's administrator, ICE Benchmark Administration ("IBA"), announced that most LIBOR settings will no longer be published after the end of 2021 and a majority of U.S. dollar LIBOR settings will no longer be published after June 30, 2023. It is possible that the FCA may compel the IBA to publish a subset of LIBOR settings after these dates on a "synthetic" basis, but any such publications would be considered nonrepresentative of the underlying market. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in most major currencies (e.g., the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, which is intended to replace the U.S. dollar LIBOR). Alternative reference rates can differ significantly from LIBOR — both in the actual rate and how it is calculated — and it is unclear whether and when markets will adopt these rates as a widely accepted replacement for LIBOR. Various financial industry groups have begun planning for transition away from LIBOR, but there are also obstacles to converting certain securities and transactions to new reference rates. Markets are developing slowly and questions around liquidity in these rates and how to appropriately adjust these rates to mitigate any economic value transfer at the time of transition remain a significant concern. Neither the effect of the transition process nor its ultimate success can yet be known. The transition process might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for instruments whose terms currently include LIBOR. It could also lead to a reduction in the value of some LIBOR based investments and reduce the effectiveness of new hedges placed against existing LIBOR-based investments. While some LIBOR-based instruments may contemplate a scenario where LIBOR is no longer available by providing for an alternative rate-setting methodology and/or increased costs for certain LIBOR-related instruments or financing transactions, not all may have such provisions and there may be significant uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of any such alternative methodologies, resulting in prolonged adverse market conditions for a Fund. Since the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur prior to the end of 2021. There also remains uncertainty and risk regarding the willingness and ability of issuers to include enhanced provisions in new and existing contracts or instruments. All of the aforementioned may adversely affect a Fund's performance or NAV.

•  Liquidity Risk

In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities and/or financial instruments in which a 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

PROSHARES TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS :: NOVEMBER 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) :: 179


judgment of the Advisor. Markets for the securities and/or financial instruments in which a 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. These situations may prevent a Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with its index.

The market for the Bitcoin futures contracts is still developing and may be subject to periods of illiquidity. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to buy or sell a position at the desired price. Market disruptions or volatility can also make it difficult to find a counterparty willing to transact at a reasonable price and sufficient size. Illiquid markets may cause losses, which could be significant. The large size of the positions which the Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity, may make its positions more difficult to liquidate, and increase the losses incurred while trying to do so.

•  Debt Instrument Risk

Certain Funds invest in, or seek exposure to, debt instruments. Debt instruments may have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates and other factors. In addition, changes in the credit quality of the issuer of a debt instrument (including a default) can also affect the price of a debt instrument, as can an issuer's default on its payment obligations. These factors may cause the value of an investment in a Fund to change.

•  Breakeven Inflation Investing Risk

ProShares Inflation Expectations ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses that track the performance of the FTSE 30-Year TIPS (Treasury Rate-Hedged) Index. The FTSE 30-Year TIPS (Treasury Rate-Hedged) Index tracks the performance of long positions in the most recently issued 30-year Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPS") bond and duration-adjusted short positions in U.S. Treasury bonds of, in aggregate, approximate equivalent duration dollars to the TIPS. The FTSE 30-Year TIPS (Treasury Rate-Hedged) Index seeks to achieve an overall duration dollar amount of zero. The difference in yield (or spread) between these bonds (Treasury yield minus TIPS yield) is commonly referred to as a "breakeven rate of inflation" ("BEI") and is considered to be a measure of the market's expectations for inflation over the relevant period. The level of the FTSE 30-Year TIPS (Treasury Rate-Hedged) Index (and the Fund) will fluctuate based on changes in the value of the underlying bonds, which will likely not be the same on a percentage basis as changes in the BEI. The FTSE 30-Year TIPS (Treasury Rate-Hedged) Index is not designed to measure or predict the realized rate of inflation, nor does it seek to replicate the returns of any price index or measure of actual consumer price levels. Changes in the BEI are based on the TIPS and U.S. Treasury markets, interest rate and inflation expectations, and fiscal and monetary policy. There is no guarantee that these factors will combine to produce any particular directional changes in the FTSE 30-Year TIPS (Treasury Rate-Hedged) Index over time, or that the Fund will retain any appreciation in value over extended periods of time, or that the returns of the FTSE 30-Year TIPS (Treasury Rate-Hedged) Index or the Fund will track or outpace the realized rate of inflation, or any price index or measure of actual consumer price levels. It is possible that the returns of the FTSE 30-Year TIPS (Treasury Rate-Hedged) Index or the Fund will not correlate to (or may be the opposite of) the change in the realized rate of inflation, or any price index, or measure of actual consumer price levels. Furthermore, while the BEI provides exposure to inflation expectations, it may also be influenced by other factors, including premiums related to liquidity for certain bonds as well as premiums surrounding the uncertainty of future inflation. These other factors may impact the level of the FTSE 30-Year TIPS (Treasury Rate-Hedged) Index or the value of the Fund in unexpected ways and may cancel out or even reverse the impact of changes in inflation expectations. As a result, an investment in the Fund may not serve as an effective hedge against inflation.

•  Affiliated Fund Risk

ProShares Morningstar Alternatives Solution ETF invests exclusively in Underlying ETFs that are affiliated with the Advisor. The use of affiliated Underlying ETFs may subject the Advisor to potential conflicts of interest; for example, the fees paid to the Advisor or its affiliates by certain Underlying ETFs may be higher than on other Underlying ETFs. In addition, if an Underlying ETF holds interests in another affiliated ETF, the Fund may be prohibited from purchasing shares of that Underlying ETF.

•  Subsidiary Investment Risk

Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, ProShares K-1 Free Crude Oil Strategy ETF and ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF and their Subsidiaries are organized, respectively, could result in the inability of the Funds to operate as intended and could negatively affect the Funds and their shareholders. The Subsidiaries are not registered under the 1940 Act and are not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Thus, the Funds, as an investor in the Subsidiaries, will not have all the protections offered to investors in registered investment companies.

•  Investment in Underlying ETFs Risk

ProShares Morningstar Alternatives Solution ETF expects to invest substantially all of its assets in Underlying ETFs and an investment in the Fund is subject to the risks associated with such Underlying ETFs. An investment in the Fund will entail more direct and indirect costs and expenses than a direct investment in the Underlying ETFs. For example, the Fund indirectly pays not only a portion of the expenses (in-

180 :: NOVEMBER 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) :: NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PROSHARES TRUST


cluding operating expenses and management fees) incurred by the Underlying ETFs, but its own expenses as well. One Underlying ETF may buy the same securities that another Underlying ETF sells. Also, taxable distributions made by the Underlying ETFs could cause the Fund to make a taxable distribution to its shareholders.

•  Risks Associated with the Use of Commodity Futures Contracts

ProShares K-1 Free Crude Oil Strategy ETF and ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF obtain investment exposure through commodity futures and do not invest directly in physical commodities. ProShares K-1 Free Crude Oil Strategy ETF does not invest in nor seek exposure to the current "spot" or cash price of physical crude oil. Crude oil futures contracts typically perform very differently from, and commonly underperform, the spot price of crude oil due to current (and futures expectations of) factors such as storage costs, supply and demand and geopolitical risks. Investing in futures contracts may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in securities or other instruments. These risks include counterparty risk and liquidity risk (each as discussed below). Because futures contracts often require limited initial investment, the use of futures contracts also may expose the Fund to losses in excess of those amounts initially invested.

•  Active Management Risk

The performance of actively managed funds (ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF and ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF) reflect, in part, the ability of the Advisor to select investments and make investment decisions that are suited to achieving a Fund's investment objective. The Advisor's judgments about a Fund's investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and strategies employed by a Fund fail to produce the intended results, the Fund could underperform other funds with a similar investment objective and/or strategies.

•  Commodity Market Risk

The value of Commodity Futures typically is based in great part upon the price movements of a physical commodity and the market's expectations for such moves in the future. The prices of Commodity Futures may fluctuate quickly and dramatically and may not correlate to price movements in other asset classes. Global events such as government interventions, treaties and trading, inter- or intrastate conflict, weather or other natural disasters, changes in supply or production, changes in activity of crude oil commodity producing companies, countries and/or organizations, and changes in speculators' and/or investor's demand can cause extreme levels of volatility. Furthermore, since commodities are generally denominated in USD, a strengthening US dollar can also cause significant declines in commodity prices. An active trading market may not exist for certain commodities. Each of these factors and events could have a significant negative impact on a Fund.

•  Rolling Futures Contract Risk

ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (through its investment in the Subsidiary), ProShares K-1 Free Crude Oil Strategy ETF (through its investment in the Subsidiary) and ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF (directly and through its investment in the Subsidiary) have exposure to futures contracts and are subject to risks related to "rolling" of such contracts. A Fund does not intend to hold futures contracts through their expiration date, but instead intends to "roll" its futures positions. Rolling occurs when a Fund closes out of futures contracts as they near their expiration date and is replaced with contracts that have a later expiration date. When the market for these futures contracts is such that the prices are higher in the more distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months, the sale during the course of the rolling process of the more nearby contract would take place at a price that is lower than the price of the more distant contract. This pattern of higher futures contract prices for longer expiration contracts is often referred to as "contango." Alternatively, when the market for futures contracts is such that the prices are higher in the nearer months than in the more distant months, the sale during the course of the rolling process of the more nearby contract would take place at a price that is higher than the price of the more distant contract. This pattern of higher futures prices for shorter expiration futures contracts is referred to as "backwardation." Extended periods of contango or backwardation have occurred in the past and can in the future cause significant losses for a Fund. The Advisor will utilize active management techniques (with respect to ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF and ProShares Managed Futures Strategy ETF) to seek to mitigate the negative impact or, in certain cases, benefit from the contango or backwardation present in the various futures contract markets, but there can be no guarantee that it will be successful in doing so.

•  Risks Specific to the Crude Oil Markets

Several factors may affect the price of crude oil and, in turn, the WTI crude oil futures contracts and other assets, if any, owned by the Fund. These factors include, but are not limited to, significant increases or decreases in the available supply or demand of crude oil, storage costs, technological factors related to new or improved extraction, refining and processing equipment and/or methods, a significant change in the attitude of speculators and investors towards crude oil, large purchases or sales of crude oil by governments or large institutions, other political factors such as new regulations or political discord in oil producing countries, as well as a significant increase or decrease in crude oil hedging activity by crude oil producers. Contemporaneous with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S., crude oil markets experienced shocks to the supply of and demand for crude oil. This led to an oversupply of crude oil, which impacted the price of crude oil and futures contracts on crude oil and caused historic volatility in the market for crude oil and crude oil futures contracts. In April 2020, these

PROSHARES TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS :: NOVEMBER 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) :: 181


market conditions contributed to a period of "extraordinary contango" that resulted in a negative price in the May 2020 WTI crude oil futures contract. If all or a significant portion of the futures contracts held by the Fund at a future date were to reach a negative price, investors in the Fund could lose their entire investment. The effects of rolling futures contracts under extraordinary contango market conditions generally are more exaggerated than rolling futures contracts under contango market conditions and can result in significant losses.

•  Exposure to Retailing Industry Risk

Retailing Industry Risk is the risk faced by companies in the retailing industry, including: changes in domestic and international economies, consumer confidence, disposable household income and spending, and consumer tastes and preferences; intense competition; changing demographics; marketing and public perception; dependence on third-party suppliers and distribution systems; intellectual property infringement; legislative or regulatory changes and increased government supervision; thin capitalization; dependence on a relatively few number of high volume sales days to achieve overall results; and dependence on outside financing, which may be difficult to obtain.

•  Online Retail Companies Risk

Companies that operate in the online marketplace and retail segments are subject to fluctuating consumer demand. Unlike traditional brick and mortar retailers, online marketplaces and retailers must assume shipping costs or pass such costs to consumers. Consumer access to price information for the same or similar products may cause companies that operate in the online marketplace and retail segments to reduce profit margins in order to compete. Due to the nature of their business models, companies that operate in the online marketplace and retail segments may also be subject to heightened cybersecurity risk, including the risk of theft or damage to vital hardware, software and information systems. The loss or public dissemination of sensitive customer information or other proprietary data may negatively affect the financial performance of such companies to a greater extent than traditional brick and mortar retailers. As a result of such companies being web-based and the fact that they process, store, and transmit large amounts of data, including personal information, for their customers, failure to prevent or mitigate data loss or other security breaches, including breaches of vendors' technology and systems, could expose companies that operate in the online marketplace and retail segments or their customers to a risk of loss or misuse of such information, adversely affect their operating results, result in litigation or potential liability, and otherwise harm their businesses. Investing in Online Retailers may be attractive to investors who believe the trend of rising online sales will continue; however, there is no guarantee this trend will continue. Each of these factors could have a negative impact on the performance of the companies in the Index and the performance of the Fund.

•  Pet Care Industry Risk

The ProShares Pet Care ETF is subject to the risks faced by companies in the pet care industry. Although the pet care industry has historically been resilient to economic downturns, this trend may not continue or may reverse. Future growth of the pet care industry, if any, is largely dependent upon increases in pet ownership and the dollar amount spent on pets and pet-related products and services. Declines in pet ownership or the level of spending on pet related products or services may have a negative impact on the performance of the companies in the Index, and therefore, the performance of the Fund. Levels of disposable household income and spending for pet related products and services will fluctuate due to, among other things, economic conditions, limitations on discretionary spending, and consumer preferences. Some companies in the pet care industry are smaller, independent producers and retailers. Smaller companies face intense competition from larger companies that may have more significant resources and have well established suppliers and distribution channels. A number of companies in the pet care industry are not publicly listed for trading and their performance is not reflected in the Index. Pet care industry manufacturers, such as providers of food, medicine and other products and services, are also facing increased regulatory scrutiny and products liability risk as the U.S. and some international regulatory regimes focus on pet food and product safety. Many well-known pet brands and pet care-related businesses are offered by companies that are owned by, or sub-divisions of, large corporate entities. These companies may be substantially exposed to other industries or sectors of the economy and, therefore, the Index and Fund may be adversely affected by negative developments impacting these companies, industries or sectors. If a company no longer meets the criteria for inclusion in the Index, the Fund may need to reduce or eliminate its holdings of that company and increase its holdings of other companies in the Index. This could have an adverse impact on the liquidity of the Fund's investment portfolio and on Fund performance as there are a limited number of companies that meet the current Index requirements. Each of these factors could have a negative impact on the performance of the companies in the Index and the performance of the Fund.

•  Natural Disaster/Epidemic Risk

Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics (for example, the novel coronavirus COVID-19), have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets and have recently led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and significant market losses. Such natural disaster and health crises could exacerbate political, social, and economic risks, and result in significant breakdowns, delays, shutdowns, social isolation, and other disruptions to important global, local and regional supply chains affected, with potential corresponding results on the operating performance of the Funds and their investments. A climate of uncertainty and panic, including the contagion of infectious viruses or diseases, may adversely affect global, regional, and local economies and reduce the availability of potential

182 :: NOVEMBER 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) :: NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PROSHARES TRUST


investment opportunities, and increases the difficulty of performing due diligence and modeling market conditions, potentially reducing the accuracy of financial projections. Under these circumstances, the Fund may have difficulty achieving its investment objectives which may adversely impact Fund performance. Further, such events can be highly disruptive to economies and markets, significantly disrupt the operations of individual companies (including, but not limited to, the Fund's investment advisor, third party service providers and counterparties), sectors, industries, markets, securities and commodity exchanges, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Funds' investments. These factors can cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, changes in the availability of and the margin requirements for certain instruments, and can impact the ability of the Fund to complete redemptions and otherwise affect Fund performance and Fund trading in the secondary market. A widespread crisis would also affect the global economy in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. How long such events will last and whether they will continue or recur cannot be predicted. Impacts from these could have a significant impact on a Fund's performance, resulting in losses to your investment.

•  Risk that Current Assumptions and Expectations Could Become Outdated As a Result of Global Economic Shock

The onset of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused significant shocks to global financial markets and economies, with many governments taking extreme actions to slow and contain the spread of COVID-19. These actions have had, and likely will continue to have, a severe economic impact on global economies as economic activity in some instances has essentially ceased. Financial markets across the globe are experiencing severe distress at least equal to what was experienced during the global financial crisis in 2008. In March 2020, U.S. equity markets entered a bear market in the fastest such move in the history of U.S. financial markets. During much of 2020, the unemployment rate in the U.S. was extremely high by historical standards. It is not possible to predict when unemployment and market conditions will return to more normal levels. The global economic shocks being experienced as of the date hereof may cause the underlying assumptions and expectations of the Funds to become outdated quickly or inaccurate, resulting in significant losses.

15. Indemnifications

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of general indemnifications. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be known; however, the Trust expects risk of significant loss to be remote.

16. Subsequent Events

Effective January 13, 2022, ProShares Large Cap Core Plus underwent a 2-for-1 share split.

The effect of the share split transactions was to multiply the number of outstanding shares of the Fund by the split factor, with a corresponding decrease in the net asset value per share. These transactions did not change the net assets of the Fund or the value of a shareholder's investment. The historical share transactions presented in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and per share data presented in the Financial Highlights have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to the share splits.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

ProShares Trust (the "Trust") has implemented a liquidity risk management program ("Liquidity Program") to identify illiquid investments pursuant to Rule 22e-4 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Board of Trustees of the Trust ("the Board") has approved the designation of ProShare Advisors LLC (the "Program Administrator") to administer the Trust's Liquidity Program, subject to the oversight of the Board.

On September 13-14, 2021, during a meeting of the Board, the Chief Compliance Officer of the Trust provided to the Board the annual report on the Trust's Liquidity Program (the "Annual Liquidity Report"). The Annual Liquidity Report, which covered the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, addressed the operation of the Trust's Liquidity Program and assessed the adequacy and effectiveness of the Liquidity Program's implementation. The Annual Liquidity Report affirmed that the Program Administrator believes that: (1) the Liquidity Program continues to be reasonably designed to effectively assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk; (2) each Fund's liquidity risk continues to be appropriate in light of the Fund's investment objective and strategies and each Fund's investment strategies continue to be appropriate for an open-end management investment company; and (3) the Liquidity Program has been adequately and effectively implemented with respect to each Fund during the reporting period. The Annual Liquidity Report also affirmed that there have been no material changes to the Liquidity Program since its initial approval and that no material changes were being recommended at that time.

184 :: LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM PROSHARES TRUST


At a meeting held on September 13-14, 2021, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of ProShares Trust (the "Trust") considered the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") and the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (the "Unitary Fee Agreement") (collectively, the "Advisory Agreements"), each for certain series of ProShares Trust (the "Trust"), between the Trust and ProShare Advisors LLC (the "Advisor"), on behalf of each of its operational series (the "Funds"). Certain Funds are designed to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of an underlying index (each a "Matching Fund" and, collectively, the "Matching Funds"). Certain other Funds are actively managed and are designed to meet a specified investment objective (each an "Active Fund" and, collectively, the "Active Funds"). All other Funds are "geared" funds (each, a "Geared Fund" and, collectively, the "Geared Funds") that are designed to seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to a multiple (i.e., 3x or 2x), the inverse (i.e., -1x) or an inverse multiple (i.e., -3x or -2x) of the return of an underlying index for a single day, not for any other period.

The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreements and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors.

The Board received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees regarding the Board's responsibilities under state and federal law with respect to the Board's consideration of the renewal or approval of investment advisory agreements. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel throughout the process, including about the legal standards applicable to their review.

In response to a request from Independent Legal Counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees, the Advisor provided information for the Board to consider relating to the continuation of the Advisory Agreements, including information that addressed, among other things:

(i)  the nature, extent and quality of the services that were provided or proposed to be provided by the Advisor;

(ii)  the costs of the services to be provided and the profits realized by the Advisor;

(iii)  the investment performance of the Funds and the Advisor;

(iv)  the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of Fund shareholders; and

(v)  other benefits to the Advisor and/or its affiliates from the relationship to the Funds.

It was noted that the Independent Trustees requested, and received, information from the Advisor concerning the Funds. In response to the request from the Independent Trustees, the Advisor provided information and reports relevant to the continuation of the Advisory Agreements, including, among other things:

(i)  information about the advisory services that were being provided by the Advisor with respect to the Funds;

(ii)  the Advisor's Form ADV;

(iii)  biographies of the employees of the Advisor who are primarily responsible for providing investment advisory services to the Funds;

(iv)  information regarding each component of the contractual fee rates and actual fee rates for the prior fiscal year;

(v)  information regarding advisory fees earned versus advisory fees waived for previous periods;

(vi)  performance information for prior periods;

(vii)  comparative industry fee data;

(viii)  information about fees and other amounts that were received by the Advisor and its affiliates for non-advisory services with respect to the Funds;

(ix)  information regarding the Advisor's trade allocation and best execution policies and procedures;

(x)  information about the financial condition of the Advisor;

(xi)  information regarding how the Advisor monitors each Fund's compliance with regulatory requirements and Trust procedures; and

(xii)  the Advisor's reputation, expertise and resources.

The Independent Trustees retained the services of an independent consultant to assist in selecting a universe of peer group funds (the "Peer Group") with similar investment strategies, as well as to help them in evaluating information with respect to certain aspects of their review, including the reasonableness of fees paid by the Funds. The Board evaluated all information available to it on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and their determinations were made separately with respect to each Fund.

In addition to the information provided and discussions that occurred at the meeting, at which the Board took action regarding the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Board also considered information they received throughout the year as part of their regular oversight of the Funds.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Advisor's Services

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services performed by the Advisor with respect to the Funds. The Board noted there would be no significant differences between the scope of services provided by the Advisor in the past year and those to be

PROSHARES TRUST BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT :: 185


provided in the upcoming year. The Board focused on the quality of the personnel and operations at the Advisor and the systems and processes required to manage the Funds effectively. In particular, the Board considered the following:

(i)  the investment objective of each Fund, the Advisor's description of the skills needed to manage each Fund and the Advisor's success in achieving the investment objectives of each Fund;

(ii)  the unique features of the Funds, including the unique asset classes and investment strategies of certain Funds, as well as the employment of optimization/sampling techniques necessary to manage certain Funds and develop creation and redemption baskets for certain Funds, and the actively managed strategies utilized by certain Funds;

(iii)  with respect to the Geared Funds, the fact that to maintain exposure consistent with each Geared Fund's daily investment objective, each Geared Fund needs to be rebalanced each day, an activity not typical of traditional ETFs or index funds;

(iv)  the size and experience of the Advisor's portfolio staff and the Advisor's ability to recruit, train and retain personnel with relevant experience and the specific expertise necessary to manage the Funds;

(v)  the structure of the portfolio staff compensation program and the incentives it is intended to provide;

(vi)  the collateral, credit and cash management functions at the Advisor and the enhancements made in these areas;

(vii)  the Advisor's development of investment strategies, including those involving the use of complex financial instruments and processes that maximize the Funds' ability to meet their stated investment objectives and minimize counterparty risk;

(viii)  a significant investment in personnel and state-of-the-art technology that the Advisor has made over the course of several years and, recently, instituting certain technological upgrades that would generally improve capacity and document production capabilities as well as technological upgrades that have continued to contribute to successful remote working conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic;

(ix)  information regarding allocation of Fund brokerage and the selection of counterparties for Fund portfolio transactions, as well as favorable terms of derivatives transactions the Advisor was able to negotiate with swap counterparties on behalf of various Funds; and

(x)  the Advisor's ability to manage the Funds in a tax efficient manner, which is more challenging for Geared ETFs than for traditional ETFs.

The Board considered that the Advisor oversees the operations of the Funds and provides compliance services to the Funds. The Board also reviewed the Advisor's compliance program, including specific activities associated with the Funds. The Board discussed the compliance program with the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer (the "CCO"). The Board and the CCO discussed the CCO's evaluation of the operation of the Advisor's compliance program and efforts with respect to the Funds, changes made to the Advisor's compliance program since the CCO's last annual report to the Board, and whether the CCO believed additional enhancements to the compliance program were warranted. The Board discussed compliance issues reported to the Board during the prior years and the remediation of such issues. The Board discussed key risk areas identified by the CCO and how such risks are addressed by the compliance program.

Based upon its review, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that (i) the investment advisory services provided by the Advisor with respect to each Fund were of high quality, (ii) the Advisor achieved the investment goals of the Funds, (iii) the Advisor's services benefited the Funds' shareholders, particularly in light of the nature of the Funds and the services required to support each such Fund and (iv) it was generally satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Advisor to the Funds.

Comparison of Services and Fees

The Advisor presented information about the fairness and reasonableness of the investment advisory fees payable to the Advisor in light of the investment advisory services provided to the Funds at the expense of the Advisor, the costs of these services and the comparability to the fees paid by other investment companies, including ETFs and in certain cases mutual funds, offering strategies similar in nature and extent to the Funds. The Board discussed the methodology used to prepare the comparative fee data for each Fund and the potential limitations of such data. The Board discussed the difficulty in compiling the comparative data and Peer Group information because, by design, many of the Funds are unique, because they are geared funds or because they are based on "thematic" strategies or newer indices, and few, if any, fund complexes with funds offering substantially similar investment objectives and strategies exist. The Board considered the Advisor's representation that it found the Peer Group compiled by the independent consultant to be appropriate but acknowledged the existence of certain differences between the Funds and their peers that limited the usefulness of comparisons. The Board noted that the methodology used to compile the Peer Group and comparative data was identical to that used in prior years. Notwithstanding the challenge associated with Peer Group and data compilation, the Board found the comparative information it received to be useful in its evaluation of the reasonableness of the Advisor's fee. The Advisor presented information about the significant drivers of cost and also examined the costs to investors to achieve the objectives of the Funds on their own and noted that it would be more expensive or impractical to do so.

The Board reviewed information prepared by the independent consultant comparing management and expense information for each Fund to that of its Peer Group. The Board reviewed Peer Group information prepared by the consultant comparing the contractual advisory fee rate to be paid by the Funds to other funds with investment objectives most similar to the Funds. The Board also considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for each Fund covered under the Advisory Agreement and the net advisory fees paid by each such Fund after taking waivers and reimbursements into account.

186 :: BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT PROSHARES TRUST


The Board considered and discussed the sub-advisory fees charged and the services provided by the Advisor to the five mutual funds it serves as sub-adviser. The Board recognized that the scope of services provided by the Advisor as sub-adviser to the mutual funds is narrower than the services provided to the Funds for several reasons, including that the Advisor performs only services delegated to it by the investment adviser to the mutual funds and does not provide other services like daily cash management, collateral management and counterparty management. The Board noted that for these reasons it is difficult to make comparisons of fees charged to the sub-advised mutual funds and the Funds.

The Board also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of fees across fund complexes because there may be variations in services that are included in the fees paid by other ETFs.

The Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that, with respect to the Funds, the investment advisory fees and any other compensation payable to the Advisor were reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided and that the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and the Unitary Fee Agreement was in the best interests of the shareholders of the Funds.

Investment Performance of the Funds and the Advisor

The Board considered total return information for each operational Fund and focused on the correlation of returns to benchmark information for each Geared Fund for the 3-month, 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, 10-year and since inception periods ended June 30, 2021, as applicable. The Board also considered performance information provided at regular Board meetings throughout the year. The Board noted that correlation of returns for each Geared Fund remained strong during the applicable periods and that Geared Fund performance versus target performance was generally within expected ranges. The Board further noted that Matching Fund and Active Fund performance versus benchmark index performance was also generally within expected ranges during the applicable periods.

The Board also noted that given the nature of the Matching Funds and the Geared Funds, the correlation of performance versus the benchmark (or relevant inverse or multiple thereof) was more meaningful than a Fund's total return.

With regard to ProShares Managed Futures Strategy, the Board noted that for the one- and three- year periods ended June 30, 2021, the Fund underperformed its Peer Group average and universe average and underperformed its benchmark index, and for the five-year period ended June 30, 2021, slightly outperformed its Peer Group average and universe average and underperformed its benchmark index. The Board noted that the ProShares K-1 Crude Oil Strategy is no longer an Active Fund but became a Matching Fund in March of 2021. The Board noted that for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Fund closely tracked its benchmark index. The Board further noted that for the one-year period ended June 30, 2021, the Fund outperformed its universe average and slightly outperformed its benchmark index, and for the three-year period ended June 30, 2021, the Fund underperformed its universe average and underperformed its benchmark index.

After reviewing the performance of the Funds, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded, in light of the foregoing factors, that the performance of the Funds was satisfactory.

Profitability

The Board considered and discussed the significant drivers of cost incurred by or expected to be incurred by the Advisor in managing the Funds, including, but not limited to, intellectual capital, regulatory compliance, daily portfolio rebalancing of the Geared Funds, and entrepreneurial risk, and considered the costs that investors likely would incur if they independently sought to achieve the objectives of the Funds. The Board considered and discussed with representatives of the Advisor the profitability to the Advisor of its management of each of the Funds. The Board also discussed the Advisor's profit margin, including the expense allocation methodology used in the Advisor's profitability analysis. It was noted that the methodology for determining profitability was conducted in a similar fashion as the prior year.

The Independent Trustees met in executive session to discuss and evaluate the information provided by the Advisor and the independent consultant, as well as of the information provided by a separate independent consultant retained to review profitability and the Advisor's methodology to calculate profitability. Among other things, the Independent Trustees reviewed information regarding the financial condition and profitability of the Advisor, including the methodologies involved in calculating profitability. The Independent Trustees also met with the independent consultant in executive session to discuss the profitability analysis

Based on its review, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the profitability to the Advisor of the Advisory Agreement and the Unitary Fee Agreement was reasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

Economies of Scale

The Board discussed with representatives of the Advisor potential economies of scale in connection with the management and operation of each Fund as well as the effect of the contractual expense limitations undertaken by the Advisor. The Board considered that each Fund covered by the Advisory Agreement pays the Advisor an annual investment advisory fee of 0.75% of average daily net assets (other than the ProShares Morningstar Alternatives Solution ETF, which pays 0.07%, the ProShares Global Listed Private Equity ETF, and the ProShares Short Term USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF, each of which pays 0.50%, and the ProShares Inflation Expectations ETF, which pays 0.55%), and that, pursuant to a contractual three year waiver, the Advisor has agreed to reduce each such Fund's annual investment advisory fee by 0.05% on assets in excess of $4.0 billion up to $5.5 billion, 0.10% on assets in excess of $5.5 billion up to $7.0 billion, 0.15% on assets in excess of $7.0 billion up to

PROSHARES TRUST BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT :: 187


$8.5 billion, and 0.20% on assets in excess of $8.5 billion, through at least September 30, 2022. The Board considered that ProShares UltraPro QQQ was the only Fund subject to investment advisory fee reductions as a result of breakpoint fee reductions, reaching asset levels above $4 billion but less than $5.5 billion at various dates during the fiscal period.

The Board considered that the Funds covered by the Unitary Fee Agreement pay an advisory fee that remains the same (as a percentage of such a Fund's net assets) as asset levels increase. The Board also noted that under the Unitary Fee Agreement the Advisor was contractually obligated to pay actual costs above the Unitary Fee (other than excluded costs) and that the Unitary Fee Agreement provides an effective cap on each subject Fund's normal operating expenses, which otherwise would be higher if a Fund does not achieve sufficient size. The Board also noted the Advisor's representation that such an arrangement provides important distribution benefits for the Funds and addresses competitive pressures within the ETF industry, particularly with "strategic" or "matching" funds.

The Board also considered the asset levels of the other Funds that have no breakpoints in their contractual advisory fees and determined that it would not be necessary to implement breakpoints at this time. The Board noted that the asset levels of some Funds increase and decrease sometimes significantly and, therefore, economies of scale may be elusive.

The Board considered that certain Funds may benefit from the expense limitation arrangements in place for certain of the Funds.

The Board indicated to the Advisor that it will continue to consider and evaluate on an ongoing basis potential economies of scale and how Fund shareholders might benefit from those economies of scale.

Other Benefits

The Board also considered the Advisor's non-advisory services, including those performed under a separate Management Services Agreement for Funds covered under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the fact that the Geared Funds' shareholders, and the shareholders of certain Matching Funds, tend to be active traders, which adds a level of complexity to the management of those Funds as the Advisor needs to account for significant flows in and out of the Funds. The Board also considered any indirect, or "fall-out," benefits that the Advisor or its affiliates derived from their relationship to the Funds but concluded that such benefits were relatively insignificant.

Conclusions

Based on, but not limited to, the above considerations and determinations, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined that the Agreements for the Funds are fair and reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be performed, the fee rates to be paid, the Advisor's expenses and such other matters as the Board considered relevant in the exercise of its business judgement. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the continuation of the Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of the shareholders of the Funds. On this basis, the Board unanimously voted in favor of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements.

188 :: BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT PROSHARES TRUST


At a meeting held on October 12, 2021, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of ProShares Trust (the "Trust") considered the initial approval of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (the "Unitary Fee Agreement") between the Trust and ProShare Advisors LLC (the "Advisor") with respect to the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (the "New ETF").

In response to a request from the Independent Trustees, the Advisor provided information for the Board to consider relating to the approval of the Unitary Fee Agreement, including information that addressed, among other things: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services that were provided or proposed to be provided by the Advisor; (ii) the costs of the services to be provided and the profits realized by the Advisor; (iii) the investment performance of the Advisor; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the New ETF grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of New ETF shareholders; and (v) other benefits to the Advisor and/or its affiliates from the relationship to the New ETF. It was noted that certain of this information had previously been provided as part of the Annual 15c Response.

The Independent Trustees consulted with Independent Trustee Counsel concerning their responsibilities under state and federal law with respect to their consideration of the approval of the Unitary Fee Agreement and other agreements with respect to the New ETF. It was noted that the Independent Trustees requested, and received, information from the Advisor concerning the New ETF.

In response to the request from the Independent Trustees, the Advisor provided information and reports relevant to the approval of the Unitary Fee Agreement, including, among other things: (i) information about the advisory services to be provided by the Advisor with respect to the New ETF; (ii) the Advisor's Form ADV; (iii) biographies of the employees of the Advisor who are primarily responsible for providing investment advisory services to the New ETF; (iv) information regarding the proposed contractual fees with respect to the New ETF; (v) comparative industry fee data; (vi) information regarding the Advisor's trade allocation and best execution policies and procedures; (vii) information about the financial condition of the Advisor; (viii) information regarding how the Advisor expects to monitor the New ETF's compliance with regulatory requirements and Trust procedures; and (ix) the Advisor's reputation, expertise and resources.

The Trustees retained the services of an independent consultant to assist in selecting a universe of peer group funds with similar investment strategies, as well as to help them in evaluating information with respect to certain aspects of their review, including their review of the reasonableness of fees proposed to be paid by the New ETF.

In considering the Unitary Fee Agreement for the New ETF, the Board did not identify any particular factor that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the Unitary Fee Agreement and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Advisor's Services

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the services to be performed by the Advisor with respect to the New ETF. The Board focused on the quality of the personnel and operations at the Advisor and the systems and processes required to manage the New ETF effectively. In particular, the Board considered the following:

  the investment objective of the New ETF and the Advisor's description of the skills needed to manage the New ETF;

  the key features of the New ETF, including the investment strategies of the New ETF;

  the structure of the portfolio staff compensation program and the incentives it is intended to provide;

  the collateral, credit and cash management functions at the Advisor;

  the Advisor's familiarity with digital assets and Bitcoin in particular, as well as processes related to assessing risk and liquidity with respect to investments in Bitcoin futures;

  the Advisor's familiarity with the market for Bitcoin futures and its ability to manage the New ETF in that market;

  the appropriateness of investing in Bitcoin-related instruments by the New ETF as an open-end investment company;

  the Advisor's ability to monitor compliance with the SEC's liquidity rule, derivatives rule and valuation requirements, among other things;

  significant investment in personnel and state-of-the-art technology that the Advisor has made over the course of several years and recently, instituting certain technological upgrades that would generally improve capacity and document production capabilities as well as the technological upgrades that have continued to contribute to successful remote working conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic;

  the Advisor's ability to monitor and avoid potential fraud or manipulation of the underlying Bitcoin markets and its potential influence on the market for Bitcoin futures, and

  information regarding allocation of brokerage on behalf of other ETFs managed by the Advisor and the Advisor's practices regarding the selection of counterparties for the New ETF's portfolio transactions.

The Board considered that the Advisor will oversee the operations of the New ETF, including oversight of the New ETF's service providers, and will provide compliance services to the New ETF.

Based upon its review, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that (i) the investment advisory services to be provided by the Advisor with respect to the New ETF were expected to be of high quality, (ii) the Advisor has successfully achieved the investment goals of the existing operational Funds in the Trust, and (iii) it was generally satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services expected to be provided to the New ETF.

PROSHARES TRUST BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT :: 189


Comparison of Services and Fees

At the request of the Independent Trustees, the Advisor presented information about the fairness and reasonableness of the fees payable to the Advisor in light of the services to be provided to the New ETF by or at the expense of the Advisor, the costs of these services and the comparability to the fees paid by other investment companies that gain portfolio exposure by investing a portion of their respective assets in wholly-owned subsidiaries organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and share similar pricing characteristics to the New ETF. This information included comparative fee information prepared by an independent consultant. The Board discussed the methodology used to prepare the comparative fee data for the New ETF and the potential limitations of such data, noting that the New ETF is unique, making comparisons difficult. The Advisor also presented information about the significant drivers of cost, as well as the impact of certain costs on fees and expenses directly related to the investment strategy of the New ETF.

The Board reviewed information prepared by the independent consultant comparing management fee and expense information for the New ETF to that of peer groups of funds, including a supplemental comparison of the New ETF to a wide range of pooled vehicles with Bitcoin strategies (the "Peer Group") determined by the consultant as well as to the relevant fund category determined by the consultant. The Board noted the difficulty in compiling the Peer Group because the New ETF is the first U.S. exchange-traded fund to invest in Bitcoin futures contracts, with no operational ETFs using substantially similar objectives and strategies available for comparison. Notwithstanding this difficulty, the Board found the comparative information it received to be useful in its evaluation of the reasonableness of the Advisor's proposed fees. The Board recognized that under the Unitary Fee Agreement, the Advisor would pay certain operating expenses for the New ETF including expenses charged by futures commission merchants in connection with portfolio transactions for the New ETF and interest expenses incurred with investments in reverse repurchase agreements or futures contracts, which may not be included for Peer Group funds.

The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of fees across fund complexes because there may be variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Board concluded that the New ETF's fee rate was reasonable given the services proposed to be provided and the fees charged by other funds in the Peer Group.

Profitability

The Board noted that the New ETF had not yet started operations, so that it could not yet evaluate the Advisor's profitability related to the New ETF. It was noted that each year, as part of its annual contract renewal process, the Trustees discuss the Advisor's profit margin, including the methodology used in the Advisor's profitability analysis, and receive information provided by the Advisor relating to its financial condition and overall profitability related to its management of the funds in the fund complex.

The Independent Trustees met in Executive Session with Independent Trustee Counsel to discuss and evaluate the information provided by the Advisor and the independent consultant.

The Board considered and discussed with representatives of the Advisor the significant drivers of cost incurred by or expected to be incurred by the Advisor in managing the New ETF, including, but not limited to, intellectual capital, regulatory compliance and entrepreneurial risk, and considered the costs that investors likely would incur if they independently sought to achieve the objectives of the New ETF.

Investment Performance of the Fund and the Advisor

The Trustees noted that the New ETF had not yet commenced operations and, as such, there was no performance information for the New ETF to consider.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered the New ETF's fee arrangements with the Advisor and noted that under the Unitary Fee Agreement the fee would stay the same as asset levels increased. The Board also noted that the Advisor was obligated to pay certain of the New ETF's operating expenses and that the Advisor would be contractually obligated to pay actual costs above the Unitary Fee (other than excluded costs) and that the Unitary Fee Agreement will provide an effective cap on the New ETF's normal operating expenses. The Board also noted the Advisor's representation that such an arrangement provided important distribution benefits for the New ETF and addressed competitive pressures within the ETF industry.

Other Benefits

The Board also considered any indirect, or "fall-out," benefits of the Advisor or its affiliates to be derived from the relationship to the New ETF but concluded that such benefits were not material to their considerations.

Conclusions

The Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that it was in the best interests of the New ETF and its prospective shareholders to approve the Unitary Fee Agreement and that the terms of the Unitary Fee Agreement for the New ETF were fair and reasonable.

190 :: BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT PROSHARES TRUST


At a meeting held on July 15-16, 2021, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of ProShares Trust (the "Trust") considered the initial approval of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (the "Unitary Fee Agreement") between the Trust and ProShare Advisors LLC (the "Advisor") with respect to the ProShares S&P Kensho Smart Factories ETF, ProShares S&P Kensho Cleantech ETF, ProShares Big Data Refiners ETF, ProShares Smart Materials ETF, ProShares On-Demand ETF and ProShares Nanotechnology ETF (the "New ETFs").

In considering the Unitary Fee Agreement for the New ETFs, the Board did not identify any particular factor that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the Unitary Fee Agreement and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Advisor's Services

In response to a request of the members of the Board who are not "interested persons" of the New ETFs (the "Independent Trustees", the Advisor presented information about the services to be provided by the Advisor and its affiliates and the proposed contractual arrangements relating to those services.

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the services to be performed by the Advisor with respect to the New ETFs. The Board focused on the quality of the personnel and operations at the Advisor and the systems and processes required to manage the New ETFs effectively. In particular, the Board considered the following:

  the investment objective of the New ETFs and the Advisor's description of the skills needed to manage the New ETFs;

  the key features of the New ETFs, including the investment strategies of the New ETFs, as well as the possible employment of optimization/sampling techniques necessary to manage the New ETFs and develop creation and redemption baskets;

  the size and experience of the Advisor's portfolio staff and the Advisor's ability to recruit, train and retain personnel with relevant experience and the specific expertise necessary to manage the New ETFs;

  the structure of the portfolio staff compensation program and the incentives it is intended to provide;

  the collateral, credit and cash management functions at the Advisor;

  significant investment in personnel and state-of-the-art technology that the Advisor has made over the course of several years; and

  information regarding allocation of brokerage on behalf of other Funds managed by the Advisor and the Advisor's practices regarding the selection of counterparties for the New ETFs' portfolio transactions.

The Board considered that the Advisor will oversee the operations of the New ETFs, including oversight of the New ETFs' service providers, and will provide compliance services to the New ETFs.

Based upon its review, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that (i) the investment advisory services to be provided by the Advisor with respect to the New ETFs were expected to be of high quality, (ii) the Advisor has successfully achieved the investment goals of the existing operational Funds in the Trust, and (iii) it was generally satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services expected to be provided to the New ETFs.

PROSHARES TRUST BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT :: 191


Comparison of Services and Fees

In response to a request of the Independent Trustees, the Advisor presented information about the fairness and reasonableness of the fees payable to the Advisor in light of the services to be provided to the New ETFs by or at the expense of the Advisor, the costs of these services and the comparability to the fees paid by other investment companies, including ETFs, offering strategies similar to the New ETFs. This information included comparative fee information prepared by an independent consultant. The Board discussed the methodology used to prepare the comparative fee data for the New ETFs and the potential limitations of such data. The Advisor also presented information about the significant drivers of cost.

The Board reviewed information prepared by the independent consultant comparing management fee and expense information for the New ETFs to that of peer groups of funds (the "Peer Groups") determined by the consultant as well as to the relevant fund category determined by the consultant. The Board reviewed Peer Groups and category information prepared by the consultant comparing the contractual advisory fee rate to be paid by the New ETFs to other funds with investment objectives most similar to the New ETFs. The Board noted the difficulty in compiling the Peer Groups because, by design, the New ETFs are unique and, therefore, few (if any) funds with substantially similar objectives and strategies may be available. It was noted that the indices that the New ETFs will track are also new. Notwithstanding this difficulty, the Board found the comparative information it received to be useful in its evaluation of the reasonableness of the Advisor's proposed fees.

The Board recognized the challenges in comparing fees across fund complexes because there may be variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other ETFs. The Board concluded that the New ETFs' advisory fee rates were reasonable given the services proposed to be provided and the fees charged by other funds in the Peer Groups.

Profitability

The Board noted that the New ETFs had not yet started operations, so that it could not yet evaluate the Advisor's profitability related to the New ETFs. It was noted that each year, as part of its annual contract renewal process, the Trustees discuss the Advisor's profit margin, including the methodology used in the Advisor's profitability analysis, and receive information provided by the Advisor relating to its financial condition and overall profitability related to its management of the funds in the fund complex.

The Independent Trustees met in Executive Session with Independent Trustee Counsel to discuss and evaluate the information provided by the Advisor and the independent consultant.

The Board considered and discussed with representatives of the Advisor the significant drivers of cost incurred by or expected to be incurred by the Advisor in managing the New ETFs, including, but not limited to, intellectual capital, regulatory compliance and entrepreneurial risk, and considered the costs that investors likely would incur if they independently sought to achieve the objectives of the New ETFs.

Investment Performance of the Fund and the Advisor

The Trustees noted that the New ETFs had not yet commenced operations and, as such, there was no performance information for the New ETFs to consider. The Trustees noted however, the Advisor's performance record in managing other ETFs that seek to track the performance of a securities index.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered the New ETFs' fee arrangements with the Advisor and noted that under the Unitary Fee Agreement the fee would stay the same as asset levels increased. The Board also noted that the Advisor was obligated to pay certain of the New ETFs' operating expenses and that the Advisor would be contractually obligated to pay actual costs above the Unitary Fee (other than excluded costs) and that the Unitary Fee Agreement will provide an effective cap on the New ETFs' normal operating expenses. The Board also noted the Advisor's representation that such an arrangement provided important distribution benefits for the New ETFs and addressed competitive pressures within the ETF industry.

Other Benefits

The Board also considered any indirect, or "fall-out," benefits of the Advisor or its affiliates to be derived from the relationship to the New ETFs but concluded that such benefits were not material to their considerations.

Conclusions

The Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that it was in the best interests of each New ETF and its prospective shareholders to approve the Unitary Fee Agreement and that the terms of the Unitary Fee Agreement for each New ETF were fair and reasonable.

Certain Strategic ETFs seek returns that are 1x the return of an index or other benchmark (target) for a single day and over time. Other Strategic ETFs seek returns that are -1x the return of an index or other benchmark (target) for a single day, as measured from one NAV calculation to the next. Due to the compounding of daily returns, those ETFs' returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the target return for the same period. These effects may be more pronounced in funds with inverse multiple and in funds with volatile benchmarks. Investors should monitor their holdings consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily. For more on correlation, leverage and other risks, please read the prospectus.
