Investment Objective

ProShares S&P Kensho Smart Factories ETF (the "Fund") seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the S&P Kensho Smart Factories Index (the "Index").

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below. 

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Management Fees	0.58%
Other Expenses	0.00%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	0.58%

Example: This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem or hold all of your shares at the end of each period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be: 

1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
$59	$186	$324	$726

The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities. These costs are not reflected in the table or the example above.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund's shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate was 40% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund invests in financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should track the performance of the Index.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of U.S.-listed companies focused on building technologies or products that enable the digitalization of manufacturing activities The index includes U.S. and non-U.S. companies. The Index

provider uses a natural language processing platform to identify companies that fall into one or more of the following categories: (1) Software and devices enabling connected, integrated digitalization of manufacturing activities, including the industrial internet of things (industrial IoT) and digital twin platforms, (2) Sensors, software, and equipment used for environmental sensing and monitoring, advanced process control, predictive maintenance, and equipment health monitoring, (3) Technology and sensors that enable industrial machine and 3D vision to identify product defects and anomalies, model and predict equipment processes and product results, and (4) Demand response systems and components for conserving and optimizing plant energy consumption.

The index provider determines whether a company falls into those categories by using an automated scan of certain recent company-issued filings with securities regulators to search for terms and phrases that describe a company as producing products or services related to smart factories. The index provider then reviews each company to verify that the rules of the automated scan were implemented correctly.

For purposes of determining Index weight, companies are classified as either "core" or "non-core." Core companies are those where a significant portion of business operations are involved in products and services related to smart factories. All other selected companies are classified as "non-core." The companies in each category are initially equal-weighted, but core companies are then given a higher weighting than non-core companies. The Index's composition and the assigned weights are reevaluated every May, with an additional weight adjustment occurring in November.

The Index is constructed and maintained by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC. More information about the Index can be found using the Bloomberg ticker symbol "KFACTN."

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in components of the Index or in instruments with similar economic characteristics.

The Fund will invest principally in the financial instruments listed below.

●Equity Securities - Common stock issued by public companies.

●Depositary Receipts - The Fund may invest in depositary receipts, which principally include:

○American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), which represent the right to receive securities of foreign issuers deposited in a bank or trust company and are an alternative to purchasing the underlying securities in their national markets and currencies.

ProShare Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing in which it determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that it believes, in combination, the Fund should hold to produce returns consistent with its investment objective. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times

in financial instruments that, in combination, provide exposure consistent with the investment objective, without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. The Fund will generally use a "replication strategy" to achieve its investment objective, meaning that it will invest in all of the components of the Index in approximately the same proportion as the Index. However, the Fund may also use a "representative sampling" strategy to invest in or gain exposure to only a representative sample of the components of the Index or to instruments not contained in the Index or in financial instruments, with the intent of obtaining exposure with aggregate characteristics similar to those of the Index. For example, the Fund may utilize a representative sampling strategy when the Advisor believes a replication strategy might be detrimental or disadvantageous to shareholders, such as when buying each component of the Index is impracticable or inefficient, or when there are practical difficulties or additional costs involved in replicating an Index. The Fund also may use representative sampling if the Advisor believes one or more components of the Index becomes illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations (such as tax diversification requirements) that apply to the Fund.

Principal Risks

You could lose money by investing in the Fund.

●Smart Factory Investing Risk - Smart factory technology is a relatively new form of technology and is subject to risks associated with a developing industry including limited product lines, markets, and financial resources as well as challenges to scalability of production. There is no guarantee that the products or services offered by companies in this business will be successful. Smart factory companies typically face intense competition, rapid changes in technology, loss or impairment of intellectual property rights, and potentially rapid product obsolescence. Smart factory companies typically engage in significant amounts of spending on research and development. Smart factory companies may be susceptible to operational and information security risks including those associated with hardware or software failures, disruptions of access systems or operational systems, or delays in service by third party vendors, and security breaches. The success of certain smart factory companies may depend on businesses being prepared for scaled deployment and integration of smart factory initiatives and the availability of hybrid, soft, and digital skills necessary for smart factory implementation.

●Unrelated Business Lines Risk - Companies in the Index may have significant business lines that are not smart factory related. These unrelated business lines may be a meaningful portion of a company's current business, in terms of profit or revenue, for example, than the portion represented by the Index theme. Consequently, these unrelated business lines may have a significant impact on the perfor

mance of the company, the Index and the Fund. In particular, these unrelated business lines may cause the Fund to underperform investments that do not have exposure to unrelated business lines. For example, if an unrelated business line of a company underperforms its smart factory related business line, it may negatively affect the performance of the company, the Index and the Fund.

●Equity and Market Risk - Equity markets are volatile, and the value of equity securities and other instruments correlated with equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. Equity markets are subject to corporate, political, regulatory, market, social, geopolitical and economic developments, including changes in interest and currency rates, inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory or governmental trade or market control programs, recessions, supply chain disruptions, labor disturbances, environmental or man-made disasters, war, terrorism, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics), social unrest and other unforeseeable events.

●Foreign Investments Risk/Emerging Markets Risk - Exposure to securities of foreign issuers may provide the Fund with increased risk. Foreign investments may be more susceptible to political, social, economic and regional factors than may be the case with U.S. securities. In addition, markets for foreign investments are usually less liquid, more volatile and significantly smaller than markets for U.S. securities, which may affect, among other things, the Fund's ability to purchase or sell foreign investments at appropriate times and prices. Because of differences in settlement times and/or foreign market holidays, transactions in a foreign market may take place one or more days after the necessary exposure to these investments is determined.

Because the Fund's foreign investment exposure may include issuers domiciled in developing or "emerging market" countries, all the aforementioned factors are heightened. Investments in emerging markets are considered speculative.

●Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index. Fees, expenses, transaction costs, among other factors, will adversely impact the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. In addition, the Fund's exposure may not be consistent with the Index. For example, the Fund may not have exposure to all of the securities in the Index, its weighting of securities may be different from that of the Index, and it may invest in instruments not included in the Index.

●Industry Concentration Risk - The Index may have a significant portion of its value in issuers in an industry or group of industries. The Fund will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As a result, the

Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuations than a fund that is more broadly invested across industries. As of May 31, 2025, the Index had a significant portion of its value in issuers in the industrials and information technology industry groups.

○Industrials Industry Risk - Companies in this industry may experience: adverse effects on stock prices by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials industry products in general; declining demand; and changing government regulation.

○Information Technology Industry Risk - Companies in this industry may experience: intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, and changing economic conditions and government regulation.

●Non-Diversification Risk - The Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer.

●Index Performance Risk - The Index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. The Index is maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or ProShare Advisors. There can be no guarantee that the methodology used by the third-party provider to identify companies whose business is smart factory related will achieve its intended result. Further, there can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the Index or the daily calculation of the Index will be free from error.

●Market Price Variance Risk - Investors buy and sell Fund shares in the secondary market at market prices. Market prices may be different from the NAV per share of the Fund (i.e., the secondary market price may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount)). The market price of the Fund's shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund's holdings, supply and demand for shares and other market factors.

●Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk - An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a retirement account. After-tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to a tax benefit from realizing a capital loss on a sale of shares.

Management

The Fund is advised by ProShare Advisors. Alexander Ilyasov, Senior Portfolio Manager, and Eric Silverthorne, Portfolio Manager, have jointly and primarily managed the Fund since September 2021 and March 2023, respectively.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares

The Fund will issue and redeem 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. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold by retail investors in secondary market transactions through broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange and because shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). In addition to brokerage commissions, inves

tors incur the costs of the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Fund (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). The bid-ask spread varies over time for Fund shares based on trading volume and market liquidity. Recent information, including information about the Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, is included on the Fund's website (www.proshares.com).

Tax Information

Income and capital gains distributions you receive from the Fund generally are subject to federal income taxes and may also be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund intends to distribute income, if any, quarterly, and capital gains, if any, at least annually.
