NEW YORK, June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GraniteShares has announced it will execute forward shares split for the several funds (the “Funds”). The total market value of the shares outstanding will not be affected as a result of these splits.

After the close of the markets on June 24, 2026 (the “Payable Date”), each Fund will effect a forward split of its issued and outstanding shares as follows:

As a result of the share split, shareholders of each Fund will receive additional shares as indicated in the table above, and the number of each Fund’s issued and outstanding shares will increase by the approximate percentage indicated above.

The ticker and CUSIP will not be affected by the transaction.

The share split will apply to shareholders of record as of the close of the NASDAQ Stock Market. (the “NASDAQ”) on June 24, 2026 (the “Record Date”). Shares of the Funds will begin trading on the NASDAQ on a split-adjusted basis on June 25, 2026 (the “Ex-Date”). On the Ex-Date, the opening market value of the Fund’s issued and outstanding shares, and thus a shareholder’s investment value, will not be affected by the share split. However, the per share net asset value (“NAV”) and opening market price on the Ex-Date will be approximately the inverse ratio of the of forward split. The table below illustrates the effect of hypothetical splits on a shareholder’s investment.

3-for-1 forward split

8-for-1 forward split

25-for-1 forward split

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

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

RISK FACTORS AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The Funds are not suitable for all investors. The investment program of the funds is speculative, entails substantial risks and include asset classes and investment techniques not employed by most ETFs and mutual funds. Investments in the ETFs are not bank deposits and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Funds are designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. For periods longer than a single day, the Funds will lose money if their Underlying Stock’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Funds will lose money even if their Underlying Stock’s performance increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a single day.

The Funds seek daily leveraged investment results and are intended to be used as short-term trading vehicles. The Funds attempt to provide daily investment results that correspond to the respective long leveraged multiple of the performance of their underlying stocks (a Leverage Fund).

Investors should note that such Leverage Long Fund pursues daily leveraged investment objectives, which means that the Fund is riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Fund magnifies the performance of its underlying stock. The volatility of the underlying security may affect a Funds return as much as, or more than, the return of the underlying security.

Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time, the return of each Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from 200% of the return of the Underlying Stock over the same period. Each Fund will lose money if the Underlying Stock’s performance is flat over time, and as a result of daily rebalancing, the Underlying Stock volatility and the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money over time while the Underlying Stock's performance increases over a period longer than a single day.

Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the ETFs. There can be no guarantee that an active trading market for ETF shares will develop or be maintained, or that their listing will continue or remain unchanged. Buying or selling ETF shares on an exchange may require the payment of brokerage commissions and frequent trading may incur brokerage costs that detract significantly from investment returns.

An investment in the Funds involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The Funds are non-diversified and includes risks associated with the Fund concentrating its investments in a particular industry, sector, or geographic region which can result in increased volatility. The use of derivatives such as futures contracts and swaps is subject to market risks that may cause their price to fluctuate over time. Risks of the Fund include effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk, Leverage Risk, Market Risk, Counterparty Risk, Rebalancing Risk, Intra-Day Investment Risk, Other Investment Companies (including ETFs) Risk, and risks specific to the securities of the Underlying Stock and the sector in which it operates. These and other risks can be found in the prospectus.

This information is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy shares of any Funds to any person in any jurisdiction in which an offer, solicitation, purchase or sale would be unlawful under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
