Fees and Expenses of the Fund The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy or hold shares of the Fund. <b>Annual Fund Operating Expenses</b><br/>(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) USD Covered Bond Example: This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.<br/><br/>The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem 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&#146;s operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year.<br/><br/>Although your actual cost may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be: The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with transacting in securities. In addition, investors may pay brokerage commissions on their purchases and sales of the Fund&#146;s shares. These costs are not reflected in the example or the table above. 36 1968 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or &#147;turns over&#148; its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund&#146;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&#146;s performance. During the period from May 21, 2012 (the Fund&#146;s inception date) to May 31, 2012, the Fund&#146;s annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its entire portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instrument transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund&#146;s portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher. Principal Investment Strategies The Fund seeks to meet its investment objective by, under normal circumstances, investing substantially all of its assets in &#147;Covered Bonds.&#148; Covered Bonds are debt instruments, issued by a financial institution and secured by a segregated pool of financial assets (the &#147;cover pool&#148;), typically comprised of mortgages or, in certain cases, public-sector loans. The cover pool, typically maintained by the issuing financial institution, is designed to pay Covered Bondholders in the event that there is a default on the payment obligations of a Covered Bond. To the extent the cover pool assets are insufficient to repay principal and/or interest, Covered Bondholders also have a senior, unsecured claim against the issuing financial institution. Covered Bonds differ from other debt instruments, including asset-backed securities, in that Covered Bondholders have claims against both the cover pool and the issuing financial institution.<br/><br/>The Index, published by BNP Paribas, seeks to track the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated Covered Bonds that are generally rated AAA (or its equivalent). Specifically, the Index aims to include the universe of U.S. dollar-denominated fixed-rate Covered Bonds that conform to the eligibility criteria for the Index. The Covered Bonds must be denominated in USD, have a fixed-rate coupon, have at least 18 months to maturity, have USD 1 billion or more of outstanding face amount and a minimum denomination no greater than $250,000, be either registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or eligible for resale under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, and satisfy the liquidity criteria applicable to the Index. In addition, the Covered Bonds must be rated in the highest category by at least one of the following rating agencies: Fitch Investor Services, Moody&#146;s Investor Services and Standard &amp; Poor&#146;s Rating Group. Where the Covered Bond is rated by all three agencies, two of the agencies must rate the bond AAA (or its equivalent), where the bond is rated by two of such agencies, both agencies must rate the bond AAA (or its equivalent) and where the bond is rated by only one of such rating agency, that agency must rate the bond AAA (or its equivalent). Covered Bonds containing puts or calls and bonds that are convertible or have equity-like features are not eligible for inclusion in the Index. In addition, the following diversification criteria are applied to the Index when it is rebalanced: no single issuer may have a value weight greater than 25% of the value of the Index and issuers with a value weight of 5% or more may not constitute more than 50% of the value of the Index. For the purpose of the diversification criteria, bonds issued by affiliated issuers (i.e., issuers under common control) will be treated as being issued by the same issuer. If a Covered Bond no longer satisfies the eligibility criteria, it will be removed from the Index when the Index is rebalanced. The Index is rebalanced on the last business day of the following months: January, April, July and October. The Index may from time to time include Covered Bonds issued by BNP Paribas or its affiliates.<br/><br/>Currently, the Index is comprised of Covered Bonds issued exclusively by non-U.S. institutions. As of June 30, 2012, the Index consists of 43 Covered Bonds issued by 20 different issuers, all of which are financial institutions. These issuers are primarily Canadian and European and come from: Canada (59.0%); Norway (11.3%); France (6.3%); Sweden (4.9%); England (3.3%); Australia (6.2%); and Switzerland (9.0%). The above weights represent the percentage of dollars invested per country. The Index is published under the Bloomberg ticker symbol &#147;BNIXCOVD&#148;.<br/><br/>The types of securities that the Fund will principally invest in are set forth below.<ul type="square"><li>Debt Securities &#151; The Fund will invest in debt securities, primarily Covered Bonds that are issued by a financial institution and are secured by a pool of financial assets, typically mortgages (e.g., residential, commercial and/or ship mortgages) or, in certain cases, public-sector loans, which are loans made to national, regional and local authorities to fund public-sector lending (e.g., loans that support public investment and infrastructure projects). In addition, the pool of financial assets may include cash or cash equivalents.</li></ul>ProShare Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing. Using this approach, ProShare Advisors determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that the Fund should hold to approximate on a daily basis the performance of the Index. The Fund may gain exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in the Index, which exposure is intended to have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the Index, and may invest in securities not contained in the Index. ProShare Advisors does not invest the assets of the Fund in securities based on ProShare Advisors&#146; view of the investment merit of a particular security or company, other than for cash management purposes, nor does it conduct conventional research or analysis (other than in determining counterparty creditworthiness), or forecast market movement or trends, in managing the assets of the Fund. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities that, in combination, provide exposure to the Index without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. <br/><br/>The Fund will concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as the Index is so concentrated.<br/><br/>Please see &#147;Investment Objective, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus for additional details. Principal Risks Investment Objective ProShares Credit Suisse 130/30 (the &#147;Fund&#148;) seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the Credit Suisse 130/30 Large-Cap Index (the &#147;Index&#148;). Fees and Expenses of the Fund The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy or hold shares of the Fund. <b>Annual Fund Operating Expenses</b><br/>(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b><ul type="square"><li>Risks Specific to Covered Bonds &#151; While Covered Bonds are secured by a pool of assets (the &#147;cover pool&#148;), there is no guarantee that the cover pool will adequately or fully compensate Covered Bond investors in the event that an issuer defaults on its payment obligations. In the event of such default, while the Covered Bond structure is designed to ensure continued timely interest payments to the Covered Bond holders and to avoid acceleration of payment under the Covered Bonds, the Fund could, in certain cases, obtain assets of the cover pool, which may be difficult to liquidate, rather than cash. These assets may be difficult to value. See &#147;Valuation Risk&#148; below for more information. Assets that comprise a cover pool, such as mortgages or public-sector loans, may also decline in value. See &#147;Mortgage and Public-Sector Loan Risk&#148; below for more information. Accordingly, upon an issuer default, a Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any amounts for the cover pool and/or may obtain only limited amounts or no amounts in certain circumstances. Market practice surrounding the maintenance of a cover pool, including custody arrangements, varies based on the jurisdiction in which the Covered Bonds are issued. Certain jurisdictions may afford lesser protections regarding the amount cover pools are required to maintain or the manner in which such assets are held. Investors should be aware that Canadian Covered Bonds (and potentially those of certain other jurisdictions that the Fund may invest in) are governed by contractual arrangements, rather than a specific legislative legal framework. Also, because certain Covered Bonds may benefit from the support of a sovereign government, such Covered Bonds may be negatively affected to the extent that the creditworthiness of the sovereign government is negatively affected. Further, while Covered Bond investors have a preferential claim on cover assets, senior to other creditors, there is no guarantee that such a claim will provide an amount equal to the obligations owed to Covered Bond investors. If the proceeds in a cover pool are not sufficient to cover the obligations owed to investors of a Covered Bond held by the Fund, the Fund may attempt to recover the shortfall as a senior unsecured creditor but may still be prevented from realizing the full amount of principal and interest due. As a result, Fund shareholders may incur losses, which at times may be significant.<br/><br/>Investors should be aware that the rating of the underlying issuer of a Covered Bond may be lower than the rating of the Covered Bond.<br/><br/>Also, due to demand from other investors, certain Covered Bonds may be less accessible to the capital markets and may be difficult for the Fund to acquire. This may cause the Fund, at times, to pay a premium to obtain such securities or may result in the Fund being under-exposed to such securities, in relation to the Index.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Interest Rate Risk &#151; Interest rate risk is the risk that debt securities may fluctuate in value due to changes in interest rates. Commonly, investments subject to interest rate risk will decrease in value when interest rates rise and increase in value when interest rates decline. The value of securities with longer maturities may fluctuate more in response to interest rate changes than securities with shorter maturities.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Private Placement Risk &#151; The Fund will typically invest in privately placed Covered Bonds, including those which may be resold only in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. Privately issued securities are restricted securities that are not publicly traded, and may be less liquid than those that are publicly traded. Accordingly, the Fund may not be able to redeem or resell its interests in a Covered Bond at an advantageous time or at an advantageous price which may result in a loss to the Fund.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Mortgage and Public-Sector Loan Risk &#151; Because the Fund&#146;s investments in Covered Bonds are secured by a pool of financial assets that may include mortgages and, in certain cases, public-sector loans, the Fund may be indirectly exposed to the risks posed by mortgages and/or public-sector loans. These risks include interest rate risk, extension risk and prepayment risk. Because of these risks, any mortgages or public-sector loans may be subject to greater volatility as a result of slight movements in interest rates (either increases or decreases) that may have the effect of quickly increasing or decreasing the value of certain mortgages or public-sector loans that collateralize investments held by the Fund.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Debt Instrument Risk &#151; The Fund may invest in, or seek exposure to, debt instruments. Debt instruments may have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates, issuer credit risk and other factors. In addition, changes in the credit quality of the issuer of a debt instrument can also affect the price of a debt instrument, as can an issuer&#146;s default on its payment obligations. Such factors may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to change. All Covered Bonds held by the Fund are sold prior to maturity, which can result in losses.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Correlation Risk &#151; A number of factors may affect the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The factors that may adversely affect the Fund&#146;s correlation with the Index include fees, expenses, transaction costs, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding index reconstitutions or other index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund&#146;s ability to meet its investment objective.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk &#151; An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities. In such 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. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Exposure to Foreign Investments Risk &#151; Exposure to securities of foreign issuers, such as U.S. dollar-denominated Covered Bonds, may subject the Fund to increased risk. Various factors related to foreign investments may negatively impact the Index&#146;s performance, such as: i) uncertainty associated with evidence of ownership of investments in countries that lack centralized custodial services; ii) possible regulation of, or other limitations on, investments by U.S. investors in foreign investments; iii) the possibility that a foreign government may withhold portions of interest and dividends at the source; iv) taxation of income earned in foreign countries or other foreign taxes imposed; v) less publicly available information about foreign issuers; and vi) less certain legal systems in which the Fund might encounter difficulties or be unable to pursue legal remedies. Foreign investments also may be more susceptible to political, social, economic and regional factors than might 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&#146;s ability to purchase or sell foreign investments at appropriate times.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Geographic Concentration Risk &#151; Because the Fund currently focuses its investments primarily in Covered Bonds issued by European and Canadian financial institutions, it may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund. The performance of the Fund will be affected by the political, social and economic conditions in a particular country or region and subject to the related risks. The Fund may also invest in Covered Bonds issued in other regions.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Exposure to European Investments Risk &#151; The Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union (the &#147;EU&#148;) requires member countries to comply with restrictions on inflation rates, interest rates, deficits, debt levels and fiscal and monetary controls. As a result, each EU member country may be significantly affected by EU policies and may be highly dependent on the economies of its fellow members. The European financial markets have experienced significant volatility recently and several EU member countries have been adversely affected by unemployment, budget deficits and economic downturns. In addition, several EU member countries have experienced credit rating downgrades, rising government debt levels and, for certain EU member countries (including Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy), weakness in sovereign debt. These events, along with decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, the default or threat of default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt and/or an economic recession in an EU member country may have a significant adverse effect on the affected EU member country, issuers in the affected EU member country, the economies of other EU member countries, their trading partners or other European countries. Such events, or even the threat of such events, may cause the value of debt issued by issuers in such European countries to fall, in some cases drastically. These events may also cause continued volatility in the European financial markets. To the extent that the Fund&#146;s assets are exposed to investments from issuers in EU member countries or denominated in Euro, their trading partners, or other European countries, these events may impact the performance of the Fund.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Financial Services Industry Debt Risk &#151; The Fund is subject to risks related to the debt issued by companies in the financial services economic sector to the same extent as the Index is so concentrated, including: extensive governmental regulation and/or nationalization that affects the scope of a financial services company&#146;s activities, the prices that financial services companies can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain; adverse effects from increases in interest rates; effects on profitability by loan losses, which usually increase in economic downturns; the severe competition to which banks, insurance, and other financial services companies may be subject; and increased inter-industry consolidation and competition in the financial sector. Further, such bonds in the Index may underperform fixed income investments that track other markets, segments and sectors.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Liquidity Risk &#151; In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities in which the 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 judgment of ProShare Advisors. Markets for the securities in which the 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. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the Index.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Market Risk &#151; The Fund is subject to market risks that will affect the value of its shares, including adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Market Price Variance Risk &#151; The Fund&#146;s shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in net asset value (&#147;NAV&#148;) and supply and demand for shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, as defined below, ProShare Advisors believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained. The Fund&#146;s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by investors creating and redeeming directly with the Fund.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Portfolio Turnover Risk &#151; Active market trading of the Fund&#146;s shares may cause more frequent creation or redemption activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase fund brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Valuation Risk &#151; In certain circumstances, portfolio securities may be valued using techniques other than market quotations. The value established for a portfolio security may be different from what would be produced through the use of another methodology or if it had been priced using market quotations. Portfolio securities that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including &#147;fair valued&#148; securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that a Fund could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time, and it is possible that a Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio security is sold at a discount to its established value.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Valuation Time Risk &#151; The Fund&#146;s shares trade on the NYSE Arca from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time). The securities held by the Fund, however, may have different fixing or settlement times. Consequently, liquidity in the securities may be reduced after such fixing or settlement times. Accordingly, during the time when the NYSE Arca is open but after the applicable fixing or settlement times, trading spreads and the resulting premium or discount on the Fund&#146;s shares may widen, and, therefore, increase the difference between the market price of the Fund&#146;s shares and the NAV of such shares.</li></ul> German Sovereign / Sub-Sovereign ETF Example: Investment Objective ProShares German Sovereign / Sub-Sovereign ETF (the &#147;Fund&#148;) seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the Markit iBoxx EUR Germany Sovereign &amp; Sub-Sovereign Liquid Index (the &#147;Index&#148;). Fees and Expenses of the Fund This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.<br/><br/>The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem 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&#146;s operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. Although your actual cost may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be: The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy or hold shares of the Fund. 97 333 <b>Annual Fund Operating Expenses</b><br/>(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 587 1316 The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with transacting in securities and derivatives. In addition, investors may pay brokerage commissions on their purchases and sales of the Fund&#146;s shares. These costs are not reflected in the example or the table above. Portfolio Turnover Example: The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or &#147;turns over&#148; its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund&#146;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&#146;s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund&#146;s annual portfolio turnover rate was 73% of the average value of its entire portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instrument or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund&#146;s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

Principal Risks Portfolio Turnover Investment Results The bar chart below shows how the Fund&#146;s investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund&#146;s average annual total returns for various periods compare with a broad measure of market performance. This information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. Past results (before and after taxes) are not predictive of future results. Updated information on the Fund&#146;s results can be obtained by visiting ProShares.com. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or &#147;turns over&#148; its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund&#146;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&#146;s performance. During the period from January 24, 2012 (the Fund&#146;s inception date) to May 31, 2012, the Fund&#146;s annual portfolio turnover rate was 22% of the average value of its entire portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instruments. If such transactions were included, the Fund&#146;s portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher. <b>Annual Returns as of December 31 each year </b> Principal Investment Strategies Investment Results Performance history will be available for the Fund after it has been in operation for a full calendar year. After the Fund has a full calendar year of performance information, performance information will be shown on an annual basis.

All bonds entering the Index must have a minimum remaining time to maturity of at least 18 months at the time of each re-balancing. Any bond existing in the Index with a time to maturity of less than 15 months is removed from the Index. The Index is based on a market-value weighting methodology, with limits on the overall weight of any single issuer. German Sovereign debt and debt from the Kreditanstalt fuer Wiederaufbau is capped at 24% of the Index. All remaining issuers are capped with an issuer weight of 4.75%, each as calculated at the time of each re-balancing. The Index is re-balanced and reconstituted quarterly on the last business day of January, April, July and October. As of June 30, 2012, the Index was comprised of 34 component securities, representing debt of 14 German Sovereign and Sub-Sovereign issuers. Approximately 74% of the securities in the Index received the highest rating from each of Moody&#146;s, S&amp;P and Fitch.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy or hold shares of the Fund. <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b> <b>Annual Fund Operating Expenses</b><br/>(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities. September 30, 2013 The bar chart below shows how the Fund&#146;s investment results have varied from year to year, and the table shows how the Fund&#146;s average annual total returns for various periods compare with a broad measure of market performance. Example: This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.<br/><br/>The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem 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&#146;s operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. Although your actual cost may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be: 97 422 ProShares.com 771 1754 Past results (before and after taxes) are not predictive of future results. The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with transacting in securities and derivatives. In addition, investors may pay brokerage commissions on their purchases and sales of the Fund&#146;s shares. These costs are not reflected in the example or the table above. Portfolio Turnover Principal Investment Strategies The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or &#147;turns over&#148; its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund&#146;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&#146;s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund&#146;s annual portfolio turnover rate was 56% of the average value of its entire portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instrument or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund&#146;s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b><ul type="square"><li>Debt Instrument Risk &#151; The Fund may invest in, or seek exposure to, debt instruments. Debt instruments may have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates, credit risk and other factors. In addition, changes in the credit quality of the issuer of a debt instrument can affect the price of a debt instrument, as can an issuer&#146;s default on its payment obligations. Such factors may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to change. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Interest Rate Risk &#151; Interest rate risk is the risk that debt securities or certain financial instruments may fluctuate in value due to changes in interest rates. Commonly, investments subject to interest rate risk will decrease in value when interest rates rise and increase in value when interest rates decline. The value of securities with longer maturities may fluctuate more in response to interest rate changes than securities with shorter maturities.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Exposure to Foreign Currency Risk &#151; The securities in which the Fund invests will be generally denominated in the currency of the Federal Republic of Germany, which is currently the euro (&#147;EUR&#148;). Investments denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to risk factors in addition to 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. Risks related to foreign currencies also include those related to economic or political developments, market inefficiencies or a higher risk that essential investment information may be incomplete, unavailable, or inaccurate. A U.S. dollar investment in an investment denominated in a foreign currency, like the investments included in the Index, is subject to foreign currency risk.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Risks Specific to Investing in Germany &#151; The Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union (the &#147;EU&#148;) requires member countries, including Germany, to comply with restrictions on inflation rates, interest rates, deficits, debt levels and fiscal and monetary controls. As a result, each EU member country may be significantly affected by EU policies and may be highly dependent on the economies of its fellow members. The European financial markets and the value of the euro have experienced significant volatility recently and several EU member countries have been adversely affected by unemployment, budget deficits and economic downturns. In addition, several EU member countries have experienced credit rating downgrades, rising government debt levels and, for certain EU member countries (including Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy), weakness in sovereign debt. These events, along with decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, the default or threat of default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt and/or an economic recession in an EU member country may have a significant adverse effect on the affected EU member country, the economies of other EU member countries, including Germany, their trading partners or other European countries. Such events or even the threat of such events, may cause the value of debt issued by such European countries, including Germany, to fall, in some cases drastically. These events may also cause continued volatility in the European financial markets. Because the Fund&#146;s assets are invested in debt issued by German entities , these events may impact the performance of the Fund. <br/><br/>In addition, given recent events, it is possible that the euro could be abandoned in the future by countries that have already adopted its use. If this were to occur, the value of the euro could fluctuate or decline drastically. Because the Fund&#146;s assets may be invested in euro-denominated bonds, the Fund&#146;s exposure to the euro and changes in the value of the euro may result in losses to the Fund. See &#147;Exposure to Foreign Currency Risk&#148;, above.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Exposure to Foreign Investments Risk &#151; Exposure to securities of foreign issuers may subject the Fund to increased risk. Various factors related to foreign investments may negatively impact the Index&#146;s performance, such as: i) fluctuations in the value of the applicable foreign currency; ii) differences in securities settlement practices; iii) uncertainty associated with evidence of ownership of investments in countries that lack centralized custodial services; iv) possible regulation of, or other limitations on, investments by U.S. investors in foreign investments; v) potentially higher brokerage commissions; vi) the possibility that a foreign government may withhold portions of interest and dividends at the source; vii) taxation of income earned in foreign countries or other foreign taxes imposed; viii) foreign exchange controls, which may include suspension of the ability to transfer currency from a foreign country; ix) less publicly available information about foreign issuers; x) changes in the denomination currency of a foreign investment; and xi) less certain legal systems in which the Fund might encounter difficulties or be unable to pursue legal remedies. Foreign investments also may be more susceptible to political, social, economic and regional factors than might 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&#146;s ability to purchase or sell foreign investments at appropriate times.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Foreign Sovereign Risk &#151; The Sovereign securities included in the Index are general obligations of the Federal Republic of Germany and are guaranteed by the German federal government. Despite this guarantee, sovereign nations have in the past and may in the future default on, restructure or otherwise change the terms of their debt to the detriment of security holders. Various factors may affect a sovereign&#146;s willingness or ability to repay principal and/or interest in accordance with the terms of the debt, including: its reserves; the relative size of the debt burden on the sovereign&#146;s economy as a whole; or political constraints. Such an event impacting a security held by the Fund would likely have an adverse impact on the Fund&#146;s returns. In addition, if a sovereign defaults on payments of principal and/or interest, the Fund may have limited legal recourse against the sovereign.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Foreign Sub-Sovereign Risk &#151; Investments in the debt of Sub-Sovereigns (including agency-issued securities) may or may not be issued by or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the German federal government or by the German federal government&#146;s central bank. Certain foreign government securities may be backed by the issuer&#146;s right to borrow from a central bank or other regional banking entity while others may be backed only by the assets and credit of the issuing foreign entity.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Correlation Risk &#151; A number of factors may affect the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The factors that may adversely affect the Fund&#146;s correlation to the Index include fees, expenses, transaction costs, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards, and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions may hinder the Fund&#146;s ability to meet its investment objective.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk &#151; An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities. In such 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. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Geographic Concentration Risk &#151; Because the Fund focuses its investments in Germany, it may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund. The performance of the Fund will be affected by the political, social and economic conditions in Germany and, to a certain extent, the EU and subject to the risks related thereto.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Liquidity Risk &#151; In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities in which the 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 judgment of ProShare Advisors. Markets for the securities in which the 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. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the Index.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Market Risk &#151; The Fund is subject to market risks that will affect the value of its shares, including adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Market Price Variance Risk &#151; The Fund&#146;s shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, as defined below, ProShare Advisors believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained. The Fund&#146;s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by investors creating and redeeming directly with the Fund.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non- diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Portfolio Turnover Risk &#151; Active market trading of the Fund&#146;s shares may cause more frequent creation or redemption activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Valuation Risk &#151; In certain circumstances, portfolio securities may be valued using techniques other than market quotations. The value established for a portfolio security may be different from what would be produced through the use of another methodology if it had been priced using market quotations. Portfolio securities that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including &#147;fair valued&#148; securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that a Fund could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time, and it is possible that a Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio security is sold at a discount to its established value.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Valuation Time Risk &#151; The Fund&#146;s shares trade on the NYSE Arca from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time). The securities held by the Fund, however, may have different fixing or settlement times. Consequently, liquidity in the securities may be reduced after such fixing or settlement times. Accordingly, during the time when the NYSE Arca is open but after the applicable fixing or settlement times, trading spreads and the resulting premium or discount on the Fund&#146;s shares may widen, and, therefore, increase the difference between the market price of the Fund&#146;s shares and the NAV of such shares. </li></ul> Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor&#146;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. <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b> Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non- diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s objective.

Principal Investment Strategies Principal Investment Strategies The Fund invests in a combination of securities and derivatives that ProShare Advisors believes should track the performance of the Benchmark. The Benchmark, established by Merrill Lynch International, seeks to provide the risk and return characteristics of the hedge fund asset class by targeting a high correlation to the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index (the &#147;HFRI&#148;). The HFRI is designed to reflect hedge fund industry performance through an equally weighted composite of over 2000 constituent funds. In seeking to maintain a high correlation with the HFRI, the Benchmark utilizes a systematic model to establish, each month, weighted long or short (or, in certain cases, long or flat) positions in six underlying factors (&#147;Factors&#148;). The Factors that comprise the Benchmark are the (1) S&amp;P 500 Total Return Index, (2) the MSCI EAFE US Dollar Net Total Return Index, (3) the MSCI Emerging Markets US Dollar Net Total Return Index (&#147;MSCI Emerging Markets&#148;), (4) the Russell 2000 Total Return Index (&#147;Russell 2000&#148;), (5) three-month U.S. Treasury Bills, and (6) the ProShares UltraShort Euro ETF. The Benchmark is not comprised of, and the Fund does not invest in, any hedge fund or group of hedge funds. The Benchmark is published under the Bloomberg ticker symbol &#147;MLEIFCTX.&#148; It is expected that, at any given point in time, the Fund will be substantially invested in three-month U.S. Treasury Bills, which is one of the Factors, or other short-term debt instruments that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less and exhibit high quality credit profiles in order to gain exposure to the three-month U.S. Treasury Bill rate.<br/><br/>Because the level of certain Factors of the Benchmark are not determined at the same time that the Fund&#146;s NAV is calculated, correlation to the Benchmark is measured by comparing a combination of the daily total return of: (a) the Factors that are determined at the same time that the Fund&#146;s NAV is determined; and (b) one or more U.S. exchange-traded securities or instruments that reflect the values of the Factors that are not determined at the same time that the Fund&#146;s NAV is determined (as of the Fund&#146;s NAV calculation time), to the daily total return of the NAV per share of the Fund.<br/><br/>The types of securities and derivatives that the Fund will principally invest in are set forth below.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities (including three-month U.S. Treasury Bills and other money market instruments) and/or derivatives that, in combination, provide exposure to the Benchmark without regard to market conditions, trends or direction.<br/><br/>The Fund will concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as the Factors of the Benchmark are so concentrated.<br/><br/>Please see &#147;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus for additional details. The Fund invests in derivatives that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should have similar daily return characteristics as the inverse (-1x) of the daily return of the Index. The Index is a price-weighted index maintained by editors of The Wall Street Journal. The Index includes 30 large-cap, &#147;blue-chip&#148; U.S. stocks, excluding utility and transportation companies. Components are selected through a discretionary process with no predetermined criteria except that components should be established U.S. companies that are leaders in their industries, have an excellent reputation, demonstrate sustained growth, be of interest to a large number of investors and accurately represent the sectors covered by the average. The Index is not limited to traditionally defined industrial stocks; instead, the Index serves as a measure of the entire U.S. market, covering such diverse industries as financial services, technology, retail, entertainment and consumer goods. Composition changes are rare, and generally occur only after corporate acquisitions or other dramatic shifts in a component&#146;s core business. When such an event necessitates, the entire Index is reviewed. As of June 30, 2012, the Index included companies with capitalizations between approximately $9.3 billion and $400.1 billion. The average capitalization of the companies comprising the Index was approximately $131.0 billion. The Index is published under the Bloomberg ticker symbol &#147;INDU.&#148;<br/><br/>The types of derivatives that the Fund will principally invest in are set forth below.

The Fund may gain inverse exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in the Index, which exposure is intended to have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the inverse of the Index, and may invest in securities or financial instruments not contained in the Index. ProShare Advisors does not invest the assets of the Fund in securities or derivatives based on ProShare Advisors&#146; view of the investment merit of a particular security, instrument, or company, other than for cash management purposes, nor does it conduct conventional research or analysis (other than in determining counterparty creditworthiness), or forecast market movement or trends, in managing the assets of the Fund. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities and/or derivatives that, in combination, provide inverse exposure to the Index without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. The Fund seeks investment results for a single day only as calculated from NAV to NAV, not for longer periods.<br/><br/>At the close of the markets each trading day, the Fund will seek to position its portfolio so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Fund&#146;s investment objective. The Index&#146;s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund&#146;s portfolio needs to be repositioned. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall. As a result, the Fund&#146;s inverse exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise. As a result, the Fund&#146;s inverse exposure will need to be increased.<br/><br/><b>Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day&#146;s return over time, the return of the 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 the inverse (-1x) of the return of the Index over the same period. The Fund will lose money if the level of the Index is flat over time, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money over time even if the level of the Index falls, as a result of daily rebalancing, the Index&#146;s volatility and the effects of compounding. See &#147;Principal Risks&#148;, below. </b><br/><br/>The Fund will concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as the Index is so concentrated.<br/><br/>Please see &#147;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus for additional details. Principal Risks <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b><ul type="square"><li>Risks Associated with the Use of Derivatives &#151; The Fund uses investment techniques, such as investing in derivatives, that may be considered aggressive. Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund&#146;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&#146;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 financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund&#146;s return.</li><li>Long/Short Risk &#151; The Fund seeks long exposure to certain Factors and short exposure to certain other Factors. There is no guarantee that the returns on the Fund&#146;s long or short positions will produce high, or even positive, returns and the Fund could lose money if either or both the Fund&#146;s long and short positions produce negative returns. In addition, the Fund may gain enhanced long exposure to certain Factors (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. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount invested in those assets.</li><li>Benchmark Performance Risk &#151; There is no guarantee or assurance that the methodology used to create the Benchmark will result in the Fund achieving high, or even positive, returns. The Benchmark may underperform more traditional indices. In turn, the Fund could lose value while the levels of other indices or measures of market performance increase. In addition, the Benchmark began publication on February 28, 2011 and accordingly the Benchmark has limited historical performance. The Benchmark does not in any way represent a managed hedge fund or group of hedge funds, and there is no guarantee that it will achieve returns correlated with any hedge fund, group of hedge funds, or the HFRI. Neither ProShare Advisors nor Merrill Lynch International has any control over the composition or compilation of the HFRI, and there is no guarantee that the HFRI will continue to be produced.</li><li>Correlation Risk &#151; A number of factors may affect the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Benchmark, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The factors that may adversely affect the Fund&#146;s correlation with the Benchmark include fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities of financial instruments in which the Fund invests. In addition, on each trading day, the closing levels of the Factors that comprise the Benchmark are, in certain cases, calculated earlier or later than the time of valuation for the Fund. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all Factors in the Benchmark or the securities comprising such Factors and its weighting of investment exposure to such may be different from that of the Benchmark. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Benchmark. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Benchmark. Activities surrounding Benchmark reconstitutions or other Benchmark rebalancing events may hinder the Fund&#146;s ability to meet its investment objective.</li><li>Counterparty Risk &#151; The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline.</li><li>Debt Instrument Risk &#151; The Fund may invest in, or seek exposure to, debt instruments. Debt instruments may have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates, credit risk and other factors. Many types of debt instruments are subject to prepayment risk, which is the risk that the issuer of the security will repay principal prior to the maturity date. Debt instruments allowing prepayment may offer less potential for gains during a period of declining interest rates, as the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds received at lower interest rates. In addition, changes in the credit quality of the issuer of a debt instrument can also affect the price of a debt instrument, as can an issuer&#146;s default on its payment obligations. Such factors may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to change. Also, the securities of certain U.S. government agencies, authorities or instrumentalities are neither issued by nor guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government, and may be exposed to more credit risk than securities issued by and guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government. All U.S. government securities are subject to credit risk. Because of the rising U.S. government debt burden, it is possible that the U.S. government may not be able to meet its financial obligations or that securities issued by the U.S. government may experience credit downgrades. Such a credit event may also adversely impact the financial markets.</li><li>Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk &#151; An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such 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.</li><li>Equity and Market Risk &#151; The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease.</li><li>Exposure to European Investments Risk &#151; The Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union (the &#147;EU&#148;) requires member countries to comply with restrictions on inflation rates, interest rates, deficits, debt levels and fiscal and monetary controls. As a result, each EU member country may be significantly affected by EU policies and may be highly dependent on the economies of its fellow members. The European financial markets have experienced significant volatility recently and several EU member countries have been adversely affected by unemployment, budget deficits and economic downturns. In addition, several EU member countries have experienced credit rating downgrades, rising government debt levels and, for certain EU member countries (including Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy), weakness in sovereign debt. These events, along with decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, the default or threat of default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt and/or an economic recession in an EU member country may have a significant adverse effect on the affected EU member country, issuers in the affected EU member country, the economies of other EU member countries, their trading partners or other European countries. Such events, or even the threat of such events, may cause the value of debt issued by issuers in such European countries to fall, in some cases drastically. These events may also cause continued volatility in the European financial markets. To the extent that the Fund&#146;s assets are exposed to investments from issuers in EU member countries or denominated in Euro, their trading partners, or other European countries, these events may impact the performance of the Fund.</li><li>Exposure to Foreign Currency Risk &#151; Investments denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to risk factors in addition to investments denominated in U.S. dollars. The value of an investment linked to or denominated in a foreign currency could change significantly as foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. Risks related to foreign currencies also include those related to economic or political developments, market inefficiencies or a higher risk that essential investment information may be incomplete, unavailable, or inaccurate. A U.S. dollar investment in Depositary Receipts or ordinary shares of foreign issuers traded on U.S. exchanges or an investment in an instrument linked to a foreign currency are subject to foreign currency risk.</li><li>Exposure to Foreign Investments Risk &#151; Exposure to securities of foreign issuers may provide the Fund to increased risk. Various factors related to foreign investments may negatively impact the Benchmark&#146;s performance, such as: i) fluctuations in the value of the applicable foreign currency; ii) differences in securities settlement practices; iii) uncertainty associated with evidence of ownership of investments in countries that lack centralized custodial services; iv) possible regulation of, or other limitations on, investments by U.S. investors in foreign investments; v) potentially higher brokerage commissions; vi) the possibility that a foreign government may withhold portions of interest and dividends at the source; vii) taxation of income earned in foreign countries or other foreign taxes imposed; viii) foreign exchange controls, which may include suspension of the ability to transfer currency from a foreign country; ix) less publicly available information about foreign issuers; x) changes in the denomination currency of a foreign investment; and xi) less certain legal systems in which the Fund might encounter difficulties or be unable to pursue legal remedies.<br/><br/>Foreign investments also may be more susceptible to political, social, economic and regional factors than might 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&#146;s ability to purchase or sell foreign investments at appropriate times.<br/><br/>Because the Fund&#146;s foreign investments may be in developing or &#147;emerging market&#148; countries, all the aforementioned factors may be heightened and foreign investments risk may be higher. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Geographic Concentration Risk &#151; Because the Fund focuses its investments in particular foreign countries or geographic regions, it may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund. The performance of the Fund will be affected by the political, social and economic conditions in those foreign countries and geographic regions and subject to the related risks.</li><li>Interest Rate Risk &#151; Interest rate risk is the risk that debt securities or certain financial instruments may fluctuate in value due to changes in interest rates. Commonly, investments subject to interest rate risk will decrease in value when interest rates rise and increase in value when interest rates decline. The value of securities with longer maturities may fluctuate more in response to interest rate changes than securities with shorter maturities.</li><li>Liquidity Risk &#151; In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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 judgment of ProShare Advisors. Markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the Benchmark.</li><li>Market Price Variance Risk &#151; The Fund&#146;s shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, as defined below, ProShare Advisors believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained. The Fund&#146;s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by investors creating and redeeming directly with the Fund.</li><li>Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities.</li><li>Portfolio Turnover Risk &#151; Active market trading of the Fund&#146;s shares may cause more frequent creation or redemption activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains.</li><li>Short Sale Exposure Risk &#151; The Fund may seek inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, which may cause the Fund to be exposed to certain risks associated with selling securities short. These risks include, under certain market conditions, an increase in the volatility and decrease in the liquidity of securities underlying the short position, which may adversely impact the Fund&#146;s return, result in a loss, have the effect of limiting the Fund&#146;s ability to obtain inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, or require the Fund to seek inverse exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or may be costly to implement. To the extent that, at any particular point in time, the securities underlying the short position may be thinly traded or have a limited market, including due to regulatory action, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of a counterparty or counterparties. During such periods, the Fund&#146;s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected. Obtaining inverse exposure through these instruments may be considered an aggressive investment technique.</li><li>Small- and Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk &#151; The Benchmark and, by extension, the Fund are exposed to stocks of small- and mid-cap companies. The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small- and mid-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Small- and mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small- and mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small- and mid-cap security prices.</li><li>Valuation Risk &#151; In certain circumstances, portfolio securities may be valued using techniques other than market quotations. The value established for a portfolio security may be different from what would be produced through the use of another methodology if it had been priced using market quotations. Portfolio securities that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including &#147;fair valued&#148; securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that a Fund could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time, and it is possible that a Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio security is sold at a discount to its established value.</li><li>Valuation Time Risk &#151; The Fund typically values its portfolio at 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). The closing levels of the Factors that comprise the Benchmark are, in certain cases, calculated earlier or later than the time the Fund typically values its portfolio.<br/><br/>Moreover, the shares of the Fund trade on the NYSE Arca from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). The derivatives (and/or reference assets on which the derivatives are based) held by the Fund, however, may have different fixing or settlement times. Consequently, liquidity in the derivatives (and/or their reference assets) may be reduced after such fixing or settlement time. Accordingly, during the time when the NYSE Arca is open but after the applicable fixing or settlement time, trading spreads and the resulting premium or discount on the Fund shares may widen, and, therefore, increase the difference between the market price of the Fund shares and the NAV of such shares.</li></ul>As a result, the performance of the Fund may vary, perhaps significantly, from the performance of the Benchmark. Principal Risks Investment Results Investment Results Performance history will be available for the Fund after it has been in operation for a full calendar year. After the Fund has a full calendar year of performance information, performance information will be shown on an annual basis. Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for longer periods of time. The Fund may not be suitable for all investors. Performance history will be available for the Fund after it has been in operation for a full calendar year. <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b> Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective.

In such 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. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Equity and Market Risk &#151; The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day.

The Index may underperform more traditional indices. In turn, the Fund could lose value while other indices or measures of market performance increase in value. In addition, the Index was formed in November 2010. Accordingly, the Index has limited historical performance.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Liquidity Risk &#151; In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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 judgment of ProShare Advisors. Markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the Index.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Market Price Variance Risk &#151; The Fund&#146;s shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, as defined below, ProShare Advisors believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained. The Fund&#146;s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by investors creating and redeeming directly with the Fund.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Portfolio Turnover Risk &#151; Active market trading of the Fund&#146;s shares may cause more frequent creation or redemption activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Short Sale Exposure Risk &#151; The Fund may seek inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, which may cause the Fund to be exposed to certain risks associated with selling securities short. These risks include, under certain market conditions, an increase in the volatility and decrease in the liquidity of securities underlying the short position, which may adversely impact the Fund&#146;s return, result in a loss, have the effect of limiting the Fund&#146;s ability to obtain inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, or require the Fund to seek inverse exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or may be costly to implement. To the extent that, at any particular point in time, the securities underlying the short position may be thinly traded or have a limited market, including due to regulatory action, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of a counterparty or counterparties. During such periods, the Fund&#146;s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected. Obtaining inverse exposure through these instruments may be considered an aggressive investment technique.</li></ul> <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b> Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective.

Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund&#146;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&#146;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 financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund&#146;s return. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Long/Short Risk &#151; The Fund seeks long exposure to certain securities and short exposure to certain other securities. There is no guarantee that the returns on the Fund&#146;s long or short positions will produce high, or even positive, returns and the Fund could lose money if either or both the Fund&#146;s long and short positions produce negative returns. In addition, the Fund 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. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount invested in those assets. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Correlation Risk &#151; A number of factors may affect the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. The factors that may adversely affect the Fund&#146;s correlation with the Index include fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund&#146;s ability to meet its investment objective.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Counterparty Risk &#151; The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund.

The Index is designed to replicate an investment strategy that establishes either long or short positions in the stocks of certain of the 500 largest U.S. companies based on market capitalization (the &#147;Universe&#148;) by applying a rules-based ranking and weighting methodology. The Index intends to provide a representation of a quantitatively constructed 130/30 U.S. large cap equity strategy. This results in the Index having total long exposure of 130% and total short exposure of 30% at each monthly reconstitution date. In determining individual constituents and weightings consideration is given to 50 factors including fundamental data from financial statements, consensus earnings forecasts, market pricing and volume data. These 50 factors are grouped into ten equal-weighted factor composites in the following categories: 1) Traditional Value; 2) Relative Value; 3) Historical Growth; 4) Expected Growth; 5) Profit Trends; 6) Accelerating Sales; 7) Earnings Momentum; 8) Price Momentum; 9) Price Reversal; and 10) Small Size. The Index will have risk characteristics similar to the Universe and will generally rise and fall with the Universe, with the goal, but not the guarantee, of incremental risk adjusted out performance as compared to the Universe. As of June 30, 2012, the Index contained 243 long and 112 short positions. The Index is published under the Bloomberg ticker symbol &#147;CS13030.&#148; The long portion (i.e., +130) of the Index is published under the Bloomberg ticker symbol &#147;CS130L&#148; and the short portion (i.e., -30) of the Index is published separately under the Bloomberg ticker symbol &#147;CS130S.&#148;<br/><br/>The types of securities and derivatives that the Fund will principally invest in are set forth below.<ul type="square"><li>Equity Securities &#151; The Fund invests in common stock issued by public companies. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Derivatives &#151; The Fund invests in derivatives, which are financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index.

The gross return to be exchanged or &#147;swapped&#148; between the parties are calculated with respect to a &#147;notional amount,&#148; e.g., the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a &#147;basket&#148; of securities representing a particular index. </li></ul></blockquote>ProShare Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing. Using this approach, ProShare Advisors determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that the Fund should hold to approximate the performance of the Index. The Fund may gain exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in the Index, which exposure is intended to have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the Index, and may invest in securities or financial instruments not contained in the Index. ProShare Advisors does not invest the assets of the Fund in securities or derivatives based on ProShare Advisors&#146; view of the investment merit of a particular security or instrument, other than for cash management purposes, nor does it conduct conventional research or analysis (other than in determining counterparty creditworthiness), or forecast market movement or trends, in managing the assets of the Fund. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities and/or derivatives that, in combination, provide exposure to the Index without regard to market conditions, trends or direction.<br/><br/>The Fund will concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as the Index is so concentrated. As of the close of business on June 30, 2012, the Index was concentrated in the consumer, non-cyclical industry group, which comprised approximately 26% of the market capitalization of the Index&#146;s long exposure.<br/><br/>Please see &#147;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus for additional details.

Short MidCap400<br/><br/>Important Information About the Fund <br/>ProShares Short MidCap400 (the &#147;Fund&#148;) seeks investment results <b>for a single day only,</b> not for longer periods. A &#147;single day&#148; is measured from the time the Fund calculates its net asset value (&#147;NAV&#148;) to the time of the Fund&#146;s next NAV calculation. The return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day&#146;s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from the inverse (-1x) of the return of the S&amp;P MidCap400<sup style="vertical-align:baseline; position:relative; bottom:.8ex">&reg;</sup> (the &#147;Index&#148;) for that period. <b>For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat over time, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money over time even if the level of the Index falls.</b> Longer holding periods, higher index volatility, and inverse exposure each exacerbate the impact of compounding on a fund&#146;s returns. During periods of higher index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund&#146;s return as much as or more than the return of the Index.<br/><br/><b>The Fund is different from most exchange-traded funds in that it seeks returns inverse to the Index and only on a daily basis.

The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund&#146;s operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. Although your actual cost may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be: 97 337 596 1337 The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with transacting in securities and derivatives. In addition, investors may pay brokerage commissions on their purchases and sales of the Fund&#146;s shares. These costs are not reflected in the example or the table above. Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or &#147;turns over&#148; its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund&#146;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&#146;s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund&#146;s annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its entire portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instrument or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund&#146;s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher. Principal Investment Strategies Performance history will be available for the Fund after it has been in operation for a full calendar year. The Fund invests in derivatives that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should have similar daily return characteristics as the inverse (-1x) of the daily return of the Index. The Index is a measure of mid-size company U.S. stock market performance. It is a float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index of 400 U.S. operating companies and real estate investment trusts selected through a process that factors criteria such as liquidity, price, market capitalization and financial viability. As of June 30, 2012, the Index included companies with capitalizations between approximately $113.3 million and $11.8 billion. The average capitalization of the companies comprising the Index was approximately $2.9 billion.

The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities and/or derivatives that, in combination, provide inverse exposure to the Index without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. The Fund seeks investment results for a single day only as calculated from NAV to NAV, not for longer periods.<br/><br/>At the close of the markets each trading day, the Fund will seek to position its portfolio so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Fund&#146;s investment objective. The Index&#146;s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund&#146;s portfolio needs to be repositioned. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall. As a result, the Fund&#146;s inverse exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise. As a result, the Fund&#146;s inverse exposure will need to be increased.<br/><br/><b>Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day&#146;s return over time, the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day&#146;s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from the inverse (-1x) of the return of the Index over the same period. The Fund will lose money if the level of the Index is flat over time, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money over time even if the level of the Index falls, as a result of daily rebalancing, the Index&#146;s volatility and the effects of compounding.

In addition, investors may pay brokerage commissions on their purchases and sales of the Fund&#146;s shares. These costs are not reflected in the example or the table above. Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or &#147;turns over&#148; its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund&#146;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&#146;s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund&#146;s annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its entire portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instrument or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund&#146;s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund&#146;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&#146;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 financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund&#146;s return.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Compounding Risk &#151; As a result of compounding and because the Fund has a single day investment objective, the Fund&#146;s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the Index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on an inverse fund. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a single day to vary from the inverse (-1x) of the return of the Index. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Fund performance for periods greater than a single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index performance; b) Index volatility; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors&#151;Index volatility and Index performance&#151;on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse exposure) of zero percent. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the Fund&#146;s performance would be lower than shown.<br/><br/>Areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the inverse (-1x) of the performance of the Index.<b> For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat and can even lose money when the level of the Index falls.</b></li></ul><div align="center"><img alt="chart" src="g394430n1xefr.jpg"></img></div>The foregoing table is intended to isolate the effect of Index volatility and Index performance on the return of the Fund. For example, the Fund may incorrectly be expected to achieve a -20% return on a yearly basis if the Index return were 20%, absent the effects of compounding. However, as the table shows, with Index volatility of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -35.1% under such a scenario. The Fund&#146;s actual returns may be significantly greater or less than the returns shown above as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in &#147;Principal Risks&#151;Correlation Risk&#148; below.<br/><br/>The Index&#146;s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 30.03%. The Index&#146;s highest June to June volatility rate during the five-year period was 49.45% (June 30, 2009). The Index&#146;s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 2.55%.<br/><br/>Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future.<br/><br/><b>For additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of Index volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see &#147;Principal Risks of Geared Funds and the Impact of Compounding&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus and &#147;Special Note Regarding the Correlation Risks of Geared Funds&#148; in the Fund&#146;s Statement of Additional Information.</b><ul type="square"><li>Correlation Risk &#151; A number of factors may affect the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of inverse correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.</li></ul>In order to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep exposure consistent with its investment objective. Being materially over- or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index. Market disruptions or closure, regulatory restrictions or extreme market volatility will adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to adjust exposure to requisite levels. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted dynamically by the Index&#146;s movements. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will have perfect inverse exposure (i.e., -1x) to the Index at the end of each day and the likelihood of being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index level is volatile near the close of the trading day. <br/><br/>A number of other factors may also adversely affect the Fund&#146;s inverse correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund&#146;s ability to meet its daily investment objective on or around that day.<ul type="square"><li>Counterparty Risk &#151; The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk &#151; An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such 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.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Equity and Market Risk &#151; The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. As a fund seeking investment results that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the Index, the Fund&#146;s performance will generally decrease when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Intraday Price Performance Risk &#151; The Fund is rebalanced at or about the time of its NAV calculation. As such, the intraday position of the Fund will generally be different from the Fund&#146;s stated investment objective of corresponding to the inverse (-1x) of the Index. When shares are bought intraday, the performance of the Fund&#146;s shares relative to the Index until the Fund&#146;s next NAV calculation time will generally be greater than or less than the Fund&#146;s stated multiple.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Inverse Correlation Risk &#151; Shareholders will lose money when the Index rises&#151;a result that is the opposite from traditional funds.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Liquidity Risk &#151; In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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 judgment of ProShare Advisors. Markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high inverse correlation with the Index.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Market Price Variance Risk &#151; The Fund&#146;s shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, as defined below, ProShare Advisors believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained. The Fund&#146;s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by investors creating and redeeming directly with the Fund.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Portfolio Turnover Risk &#151; Daily rebalancing of Fund holdings, which is required to keep inverse exposure consistent with a single day investment objective, will cause a higher level of portfolio transactions than compared to most exchange-traded funds. Additionally, active market trading of the Fund&#146;s shares may cause more frequent creation or redemption activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Short Sale Exposure Risk &#151; The Fund may seek inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, which may cause the Fund to be exposed to certain risks associated with selling securities short. These risks include, under certain market conditions, an increase in the volatility and decrease in the liquidity of securities underlying the short position, which may adversely impact the Fund&#146;s return, result in a loss, have the effect of limiting the Fund&#146;s ability to obtain inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, or require the Fund to seek inverse exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or may be costly to implement. To the extent that, at any particular point in time, the securities underlying the short position may be thinly traded or have a limited market, including due to regulatory action, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of a counterparty or counterparties. During such periods, the Fund&#146;s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected. Obtaining inverse exposure through these instruments may be considered an aggressive investment technique.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Small- and Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk &#151; The Index and, by extension, the Fund are exposed to stocks of small- and mid-cap companies. The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small- and mid-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Small- and mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small- and mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small- and mid-cap security prices. While the realization of certain of these risks may benefit the Fund because the Fund seeks investment results that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the Index, such occurrences may introduce more volatility to the Fund.<br/><br/>Please see &#147;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus for additional details. </li></ul> <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b> Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective.

The gross returns to be exchanged or &#147;swapped&#148; between the parties are calculated with respect to a &#147;notional amount,&#148; e.g., the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a &#147;basket&#148; of securities representing a particular index. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Futures Contracts &#151; A standardized contract traded on, or subject to the rules of, an exchange that calls for the future delivery of a specified quantity and type of asset at a specified time and place or, alternatively, may call for cash settlement. </li></ul></blockquote><ul type="square"><li>Money Market Instruments &#151; The Fund invests in short-term cash instruments that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including: </li></ul><blockquote><ul type="square"><li>U.S. Treasury Bills &#151; U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Repurchase Agreements &#151; Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy them back at a specified time and price.

Using this approach, ProShare Advisors determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that the Fund should hold to approximate on a daily basis the performance of the inverse (-1x) of the Index. The Fund may gain inverse exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in the Index, which exposure is intended to have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the inverse of the Index, and may invest in securities or financial instruments not contained in the Index. ProShare Advisors does not invest the assets of the Fund in securities or derivatives based on ProShare Advisors&#146; view of the investment merit of a particular security, instrument, or company, other than for cash management purposes, nor does it conduct conventional research or analysis (other than in determining counterparty creditworthiness), or forecast market movement or trends, in managing the assets of the Fund. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities and/or derivatives that, in combination, provide inverse exposure to the Index without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. The Fund seeks investment results for a single day only as calculated from NAV to NAV, not for longer periods.<br/><br/>At the close of the markets each trading day, the Fund will seek to position its portfolio so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Fund&#146;s investment objective. The Index&#146;s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund&#146;s portfolio needs to be repositioned. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall. As a result, the Fund&#146;s inverse exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise. As a result, the Fund&#146;s inverse exposure will need to be increased. <br/><br/><b>Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day&#146;s return over time, the return of the 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 the inverse (-1x) of the return of the Index over the same period. The Fund will lose money if the level of the Index is flat over time, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money over time even if the level of the Index falls, as a result of daily rebalancing, the Index&#146;s volatility and the effects of compounding.

The Fund may gain inverse exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in the Index, which exposure is intended to have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the inverse of the Index, and may invest in securities or financial instruments not contained in the Index. ProShare Advisors does not invest the assets of the Fund in securities or derivatives based on ProShare Advisors&#146; view of the investment merit of a particular security, instrument, or company, other than for cash management purposes, nor does it conduct conventional research or analysis (other than in determining counterparty creditworthiness), or forecast market movement or trends, in managing the assets of the Fund. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities and/or derivatives that, in combination, provide inverse exposure to the Index without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. The Fund seeks investment results for a single day only as calculated from NAV to NAV, not for longer periods.<br/><br/>At the close of the markets each trading day, the Fund will seek to position its portfolio so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Fund&#146;s investment objective. The Index&#146;s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund&#146;s portfolio needs to be repositioned. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall. As a result, the Fund&#146;s inverse exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise. As a result, the Fund&#146;s inverse exposure will need to be increased.<br/><br/><b>Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day&#146;s return over time, the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day&#146;s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from the inverse (-1x) of the return of the Index over the same period. The Fund will lose money if the level of the Index is flat over time, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money over time even if the level of the Index falls, as a result of daily rebalancing, the Index&#146;s volatility and the effects of compounding. See &#147;Principal Risks&#148;, below.</b><br/><br/>The Fund will concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as the Index is so concentrated. As of the close of business on June 30, 2012, the Index was concentrated in the technology and communications industry groups, which comprised approximately 53% and 25%, respectively, of the market capitalization of the Index.<br/><br/>The Fund will not directly short the securities of issuers contained in the Index.<br/><br/>Please see &#147;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus for additional details. Principal Risks <div style="display:none">~ http://www.proshares.com/role/ScheduleAnnualFundOperatingExpensesProSharesShortMidCap400 column period compact * ~</div> <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b><ul type="square"><li>Risks Associated with the Use of Derivatives &#151; The Fund uses investment techniques, such as investing in derivatives, that may be considered aggressive. Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund&#146;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&#146;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 financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund&#146;s return.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Compounding Risk &#151; As a result of compounding and because the Fund has a single day investment objective, the Fund&#146;s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the Index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on an inverse fund. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a single day to vary from the inverse (-1x) of the return of the Index. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Fund performance for periods greater than a single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index performance; b) Index volatility; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors&#151;Index volatility and Index performance&#151;on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse exposure) of zero percent. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the Fund&#146;s performance would be lower than shown.</li></ul>Areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the inverse (-1x) of the performance of the Index. <b>For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat and can even lose money when the level of the Index falls.</b> <div align="center"><img alt="chart" src="g394430n1xefr.jpg"></img></div> The foregoing table is intended to isolate the effect of Index volatility and Index performance on the return of the Fund. For example, the Fund may incorrectly be expected to achieve a -20% return on a yearly basis if the Index return were 20%, absent the effects of compounding. However, as the table shows, with Index volatility of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -35.1% under such a scenario. The Fund&#146;s actual returns may be significantly greater or less than the returns shown above as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in &#147;Principal Risks&#151;Correlation Risk&#148; below.<br/><br/>The Index&#146;s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 26.77%. The Index&#146;s highest June to June volatility rate during the five-year period was 45.46% (June 30, 2009). The Index&#146;s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 0.22%.<br/><br/>Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future.<br/><br/><b>For additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of Index volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see &#147;Principal Risks of Geared Funds and the Impact of Compounding&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus and &#147;Special Note Regarding the Correlation Risks of Geared Funds&#148; in the Fund&#146;s Statement of Additional Information.</b><ul type="square"><li>Correlation Risk &#151; A number of factors may affect the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of inverse correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.</li></ul>In order to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep exposure consistent with its investment objective. Being materially over- or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index. Market disruptions or closure, regulatory restrictions or extreme market volatility will adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to adjust exposure to requisite levels. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted dynamically by the Index&#146;s movements. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will have perfect inverse exposure (i.e., -1x) to the Index at the end of each day and the likelihood of being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index level is volatile near the close of the trading day.<br/><br/>A number of other factors may also adversely affect the Fund&#146;s inverse correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund&#146;s ability to meet its daily investment objective on or around that day.<ul type="square"><li>Counterparty Risk &#151; The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counter-parties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk &#151; An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such 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. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Equity and Market Risk &#151; The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. As a fund seeking investment results that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the Index, the Fund&#146;s performance will generally decrease when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Intraday Price Performance Risk &#151; The Fund is rebalanced at or about the time of its NAV calculation. As such, the intraday position of the Fund will generally be different from the Fund&#146;s stated investment objective of corresponding to the inverse (-1x) of the Index. When shares are bought intraday, the performance of the Fund&#146;s shares relative to the Index until the Fund&#146;s next NAV calculation time will generally be greater than or less than the Fund&#146;s stated multiple. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Inverse Correlation Risk &#151; Shareholders will lose money when the Index rises&#151;a result that is the opposite from traditional funds. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Liquidity Risk &#151; In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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 judgment of ProShare Advisors. Markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high inverse correlation with the Index.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Market Price Variance Risk &#151; The Fund&#146;s shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, as defined below, ProShare Advisors believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained. The Fund&#146;s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by investors creating and redeeming directly with the Fund.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Portfolio Turnover Risk &#151; Daily rebalancing of Fund holdings, which is required to keep inverse exposure consistent with a single day investment objective, will cause a higher level of port-folio transactions than compared to most exchange-traded funds. Additionally, active market trading of the Fund&#146;s shares may cause more frequent creation or redemption activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Short Sale Exposure Risk &#151; The Fund may seek inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, which may cause the Fund to be exposed to certain risks associated with selling securities short. These risks include, under certain market conditions, an increase in the volatility and decrease in the liquidity of securities underlying the short position, which may adversely impact the Fund&#146;s return, result in a loss, have the effect of limiting the Fund&#146;s ability to obtain inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, or require the Fund to seek inverse exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or may be costly to implement. To the extent that, at any particular point in time, the securities underlying the short position may be thinly traded or have a limited market, including due to regulatory action, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of a counterparty or counterparties. During such periods, the Fund&#146;s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected. Obtaining inverse exposure through these instruments may be considered an aggressive investment technique. </li></ul>Please see &#147;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus for additional details. <div style="display:none">~ http://www.proshares.com/role/ScheduleExpenseExampleTransposedProSharesShortMidCap400 column period compact * ~</div> <div style="display:none">~ http://www.proshares.com/role/ScheduleAnnualTotalReturnsProSharesShortMidCap400BarChart column period compact * ~</div> <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b> Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective.

Credit Suisse 130/30 <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b><ul type = "square"><li>Risks Associated with the Use of Derivatives &#151; The Fund uses investment techniques, such as investing in derivatives, that may be considered aggressive. Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund&#146;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&#146;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 financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund&#146;s return.</li></ul><ul type = "square"><li>Compounding Risk &#151; As a result of compounding and because the Fund has a single day investment objective, the Fund&#146;s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the Index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on an inverse fund. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a single day to vary from the inverse (-1x) of the return of the Index. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Fund performance for periods greater than a single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index performance; b) Index volatility; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors&#151;Index volatility and Index performance&#151;on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse exposure) of zero percent. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the Fund&#146;s performance would be lower than shown.</li></ul>Areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than the inverse (-1x) of the performance of the Index.<b> For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat and can even lose money when the level of the Index falls.</b><div align="center"><img src="g394430n1xefr.jpg"></img></div>The foregoing table is intended to isolate the effect of Index volatility and Index performance on the return of the Fund. For example, the Fund may incorrectly be expected to achieve a -20% return on a yearly basis if the Index return were 20%, absent the effects of compounding. However, as the table shows, with Index volatility of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -35.1% under such a scenario. The Fund&#146;s actual returns may be significantly greater or less than the returns shown above as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in &#147;Principal Risks&#151;Correlation Risk&#148; below.<br/><br/>The Index&#146;s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 27.67%. The Index&#146;s highest June to June volatility rate during the five-year period was 44.81% (June 30, 2009). The Index&#146;s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 7.01%.<br/><br/>Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future.<br/><br/><b>For additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of Index volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see &#147;Principal Risks of Geared Funds and the Impact of Compounding&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus and &#147;Special Note Regarding the Correlation Risks of Geared Funds&#148; in the Fund&#146;s Statement of Additional Information.</b><ul type = "square"><li>Correlation Risk &#151; A number of factors may affect the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of inverse correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.</li></ul>In order to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep exposure consistent with its investment objective. Being materially over- or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index. Market disruptions or closure, regulatory restrictions or extreme market volatility will adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to adjust exposure to requisite levels. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted dynamically by the Index&#146;s movements. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will have perfect inverse exposure (i.e., -1x) to the Index at the end of each day and the likelihood of being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index level is volatile near the close of the trading day.<br/><br/>A number of other factors may also adversely affect the Fund&#146;s inverse correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund&#146;s ability to meet its daily investment objective on or around that day. <ul type = "square"><li>Counterparty Risk &#151; The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline.</li></ul><ul type = "square"><li>Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk &#151; An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such 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.</li></ul><ul type = "square"><li>Equity and Market Risk &#151; The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. As a fund seeking investment results that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the Index, the Fund&#146;s performance will generally decrease when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise.</li></ul><ul type = "square"><li>Intraday Price Performance Risk &#151; The Fund is rebalanced at or about the time of its NAV calculation. As such, the intraday position of the Fund will generally be different from the Fund&#146;s stated investment objective of corresponding to the inverse (-1x) of the Index. When shares are bought intraday, the performance of the Fund&#146;s shares relative to the Index until the Fund&#146;s next NAV calculation time will generally be greater than or less than the Fund&#146;s stated multiple.</li></ul><ul type = "square"><li>Inverse Correlation Risk &#151; Shareholders will lose money when the Index rises&#151;a result that is the opposite from traditional funds. </li></ul><ul type = "square"><li>Liquidity Risk &#151; In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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 judgment of ProShare Advisors. Markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high inverse correlation with the Index. </li></ul><ul type = "square"><li>Market Price Variance Risk &#151; The Fund&#146;s shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, as defined below, ProShare Advisors believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained. The Fund&#146;s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by investors creating and redeeming directly with the Fund. </li></ul><ul type = "square"><li>Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities. </li></ul><ul type = "square"><li>Portfolio Turnover Risk &#151; Daily rebalancing of Fund holdings, which is required to keep inverse exposure consistent with a single day investment objective, will cause a higher level of portfolio transactions than compared to most exchange-traded funds. Additionally, active market trading of the Fund&#146;s shares may cause more frequent creation or redemption activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains.</li></ul><ul type = "square"><li>Short Sale Exposure Risk &#151; The Fund may seek inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, which may cause the Fund to be exposed to certain risks associated with selling securities short. These risks include, under certain market conditions, an increase in the volatility and decrease in the liquidity of securities underlying the short position, which may adversely impact the Fund&#146;s return, result in a loss, have the effect of limiting the Fund&#146;s ability to obtain inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, or require the Fund to seek inverse exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or may be costly to implement. To the extent that, at any particular point in time, the securities underlying the short position may be thinly traded or have a limited market, including due to regulatory action, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of a counterparty or counterparties. During such periods, the Fund&#146;s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected. Obtaining inverse exposure through these instruments may be considered an aggressive investment technique. </li></ul><ul type = "square"><li>Technology Industry Risk &#151; The Fund is subject to risks faced by companies in the technology industry to the same extent as the Index is so concentrated. Securities of technology companies may be subject to greater volatility than stocks of companies in other market sectors. Technology companies may be affected by intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, general economic conditions and government regulation and may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Technology companies may experience dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel. These companies also are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. A small number of companies represent a large portion of the technology industries as a whole. Further, such stocks in the Index may underperform fixed income investments and stock market indexes that track other markets, segments and sectors. While the realization of certain of the risks faced by these companies may benefit the Fund because the Fund seeks investment results that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the Index, such occurrences may introduce more volatility to the Fund. </li></ul><ul type = "square"><li>Telecommunications Industry Risk &#151; The Fund is subject to risks faced by companies in the telecommunications economic sector to the same extent as the Index is so concentrated, including: a telecommunications market characterized by increasing competition and regulation by the Federal Communications Commission and various state regulatory authorities; the need to commit substantial capital to meet increasing competition, particularly in formulating new products and services using new technology; and technological innovations that may make various products and services obsolete. Further, such stocks in the Index may underperform fixed income investments and stock market indexes that track other markets, segments and sectors. While the realization of certain of the risks faced by these companies may benefit the Fund because the Fund seeks investment results that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the Index, such occurrences may introduce more volatility to the Fund.</li></ul>Please see &#147;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus for additional details.

Principal Risks <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b><ul type="square"><li>Risks Associated with the Use of Derivatives &#151; The Fund uses investment techniques, such as investing in derivatives, that may be considered aggressive. Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund&#146;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&#146;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 financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund&#146;s return.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Leverage Risk&#151; The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its assets in seeking to achieve its investment objective&#151;a form of leverage&#151;and will lose more money in market environments adverse to its daily objective than a similar fund that does not employ such leverage. The use of such leverage could result in the total loss of an investor&#146;s investment. For example, because the Fund includes a multiplier of two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index, a single day movement in the Index approaching 50% at any point in the day could result in the total loss of a shareholder&#146;s investment if that movement is contrary to the investment objective of the Fund, even if the Index subsequently moves in an opposite direction, eliminating all or a portion of the earlier movement. This would be the case with any such single day movements in the Index, even if the Index maintains a level greater than zero at all times.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Compounding Risk&#151; As a result of compounding and because the Fund has a single day investment objective, the Fund&#146;s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the Index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on an inverse leveraged fund. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a single day to vary from two times the inverse (-2x) of the return of the Index. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Fund performance for periods greater than a single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index performance; b) Index volatility; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors&#151;Index volatility and Index performance&#151;on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the Fund&#146;s performance would be lower than shown.</li></ul>Areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than two times the inverse (-2x) of the performance of the Index. <b>For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat and can even lose money when the level of the Index falls.</b><div align="center"><img src="g394430n2xefr.jpg"></img></div>The foregoing table is intended to isolate the effect of Index volatility and Index performance on the return of the Fund. For example, the Fund may incorrectly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the Index return were 20%, absent the effects of compounding. However, as the table shows, with Index volatility of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -67.2% under such a scenario. The Fund&#146;s actual returns may be significantly greater or less than the returns shown above as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in &#147;Principal Risks&#151;Correlation Risk&#148; below.<br/><br/>The Index&#146;s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 27.34%.

The Index&#146;s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 0.39%.<br/><br/>Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future.<br/><br/><b>For additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of Index volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see &#147;Principal Risks of Geared Funds and the Impact of Compounding&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus and &#147;Special Note Regarding the Correlation Risks of Geared Funds&#148; in the Fund&#146;s Statement of Additional Information.</b><ul type="square"><li>Correlation Risk &#151; A number of factors may affect the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of inverse correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.</li></ul>In order to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep exposure consistent with its investment objective. Being materially over- or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index. Market disruptions or closure, regulatory restrictions or extreme market volatility will adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to adjust exposure to requisite levels. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted dynamically by the Index&#146;s movements. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will have perfect inverse exposure (i.e., -2x) to the Index at the end of each day and the likelihood of being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index level is volatile near the close of the trading day.<br/><br/>A number of other factors may also adversely affect the Fund&#146;s inverse correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund&#146;s ability to meet its daily investment objective on or around that day.<ul type="square"><li>Counterparty Risk &#151; The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk &#151; An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such 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.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Equity and Market Risk &#151; The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. As a fund seeking investment results that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index, the Fund&#146;s performance will generally decrease when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Intraday Price Performance Risk &#151; The Fund is rebalanced at or about the time of its NAV calculation. As such, the intraday position of the Fund will generally be different from the Fund&#146;s stated investment objective of corresponding to two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index. When shares are bought intraday, the performance of the Fund&#146;s shares relative to the Index until the Fund&#146;s next NAV calculation time will generally be greater than or less than the Fund&#146;s stated multiple.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Inverse Correlation Risk &#151; Shareholders will lose money when the Index rises&#151;a result that is the opposite from traditional funds.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Liquidity Risk &#151; In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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 judgment of ProShare Advisors. Markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high inverse correlation with the Index.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Market Price Variance Risk &#151; The Fund&#146;s shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, as defined below, ProShare Advisors believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained. The Fund&#146;s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by investors creating and redeeming directly with the Fund.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li> Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Portfolio Turnover Risk &#151; Daily rebalancing of Fund holdings, which is required to keep inverse leverage consistent with a single day investment objective, will cause a higher level of portfolio transactions than compared to most exchange-traded funds. Additionally, active market trading of the Fund&#146;s shares may cause more frequent creation or redemption activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Short Sale Exposure Risk &#151; The Fund may seek inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, which may cause the Fund to be exposed to certain risks associated with selling securities short. These risks include, under certain market conditions, an increase in the volatility and decrease in the liquidity of securities underlying the short position, which may adversely impact the Fund&#146;s return, result in a loss, have the effect of limiting the Fund&#146;s ability to obtain inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, or require the Fund to seek inverse exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or may be costly to implement. To the extent that, at any particular point in time, the securities underlying the short position may be thinly traded or have a limited market, including due to regulatory action, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of a counterparty or counterparties. During such periods, the Fund&#146;s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected. Obtaining inverse exposure through these instruments may be considered an aggressive investment technique.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Small- and Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk &#151; The Index and, by extension, the Fund are exposed to stocks of small- and mid-cap companies. The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small- and mid-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Small- and mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small- and mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small- and mid-cap security prices. While the realization of certain of these risks may benefit the Fund because the Fund seeks investment results that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index, such occurrences may introduce more volatility to the Fund.</li></ul>Please see &#147;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus for additional details. UltraShort MidCap400<br/><br/>Important Information About the Fund<br/>ProShares UltraShort MidCap400 (the &#147;Fund&#148;) seeks investment results <b>for a single day only, </b>not for longer periods. A &#147;single day&#148; is measured from the time the Fund calculates its net asset value (&#147;NAV&#148;) to the time of the Fund&#146;s next NAV calculation. The return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day&#146;s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from two times the inverse (-2x) of the return of the S&amp;P MidCap400<font style="font-family:ARIAL" size="1"><sup style="vertical-align:baseline; position:relative; bottom:.8ex">&reg;</sup></font> (the &#147;Index&#148;) for that period. <b>For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat over time, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money over time even if the level of the Index falls. </b>Longer holding periods, higher index volatility, inverse multiples and greater leverage each exacerbate the impact of compounding on a fund&#146;s returns. During periods of higher index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund&#146;s return as much as or more than the return of the Index. <br/><br/><b>The Fund is different from most exchange-traded funds in that it seeks inverse leveraged returns relative to the Index and only on a daily basis. The Fund also is riskier than similarly benchmarked exchange-traded funds that do not use leverage. Accordingly, the Fund may not be suitable for all investors and should be used only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily inverse leveraged investment results. Shareholders should actively monitor their investments. </b> <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b><ul type="square"><li>Risks Associated with the Use of Derivatives &#151; The Fund uses investment techniques, such as investing in derivatives, that may be considered aggressive. Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund&#146;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&#146;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 financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund&#146;s return.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Leverage Risk &#151; The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its assets in seeking to achieve its investment objective&#151;a form of leverage&#151;and will lose more money in market environments adverse to its daily objective than a similar fund that does not employ such leverage. The use of such leverage could result in the total loss of an investor&#146;s investment. For example, because the Fund includes a multiplier of two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index, a single day movement in the Index approaching 50% at any point in the day could result in the total loss of a shareholder&#146;s investment if that movement is contrary to the investment objective of the Fund, even if the Index subsequently moves in an opposite direction, eliminating all or a portion of the earlier movement. This would be the case with any such single day movements in the Index, even if the Index maintains a level greater than zero at all times.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Compounding Risk &#151; As a result of compounding and because the Fund has a single day investment objective, the Fund&#146;s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the Index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on an inverse leveraged fund. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a single day to vary from two times the inverse (-2x) of the return of the Index. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Fund performance for periods greater than a single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index performance; b) Index volatility; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors&#151;Index volatility and Index performance&#151;on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the Fund&#146;s performance would be lower than shown.<br/><br/> Areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than two times the inverse (-2x) of the performance of the Index.<b> For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat and can even lose money when the level of the Index falls.</b></li></ul><div align="center"><img alt="chart" src="g394430n2xefr.jpg"></img></div>The foregoing table is intended to isolate the effect of Index volatility and Index performance on the return of the Fund. For example, the Fund may incorrectly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the Index return were 20%, absent the effects of compounding. However, as the table shows, with Index volatility of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -67.2% under such a scenario. The Fund&#146;s actual returns may be significantly greater or less than the returns shown above as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in &#147;Principal Risks&#151;Correlation Risk&#148; below.<br/><br/>The Index&#146;s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 23.98%. The Index&#146;s highest June to June volatility rate during the five-year period was 40.56% (June 30, 2009). The Index&#146;s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 2.00%.<br/><br/>Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future.<br/><br/><b>For additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of Index volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see &#147;Principal Risks of Geared Funds and the Impact of Compounding&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus and &#147;Special Note Regarding the Correlation Risks of Geared Funds&#148; in the Fund&#146;s Statement of Additional Information.</b><ul type="square"><li>Correlation Risk &#151; A number of factors may affect the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of inverse correlation.

The Index is a measure of small-cap company U.S. stock market performance. It is a float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index of 600 U.S. operating companies selected through a process that factors criteria such as liquidity, price, market capitalization, financial viability and public float. As of June 30, 2012, the Index included companies with capitalizations between approximately $39.0 million and $3.3 billion. The average capitalization of the companies comprising the Index was approximately $870.4 million. The Index is published under the Bloomberg ticker symbol &#147;SML.&#148;<br/><br/>The types of derivatives that the Fund will principally invest in are set forth below. Cash balances arising from the use of derivatives will typically be held in money market instruments.<ul type="square"><li>Derivatives &#151; The Fund invests in derivatives, which are financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index. The Fund invests in derivatives as a substitute for directly shorting stocks in order to gain inverse exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:</li></ul><blockquote><ul type="square"><li>Swap Agreements &#151; Contracts entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard &#147;swap&#148; transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or &#147;swapped&#148; between the parties are calculated with respect to a &#147;notional amount,&#148; e.g., the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a &#147;basket&#148; of securities representing a particular index.</li></ul></blockquote><ul type="square"><li>Money Market Instruments &#151; The Fund invests in short-term cash instruments that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including:</li></ul><blockquote><ul type="square"><li>U.S. Treasury Bills &#151; U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Repurchase Agreements &#151; Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy them back at a specified time and price. Repurchase agreements are primarily used by the Fund as a short-term investment vehicle for cash positions.</li></ul></blockquote>ProShare Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing. Using this approach, ProShare Advisors determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that the Fund should hold to approximate on a daily basis the performance of the inverse (-1x) of the Index. The Fund may gain inverse exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in the Index, which exposure is intended to have aggregate characteristics similar to those of the inverse of the Index, and may invest in securities or financial instruments not contained in the Index. ProShare Advisors does not invest the assets of the Fund in securities or derivatives based on ProShare Advisors&#146; view of the investment merit of a particular security, instrument, or company, other than for cash management purposes, nor does it conduct conventional research or analysis (other than in determining counterparty creditworthiness), or forecast market movement or trends, in managing the assets of the Fund. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities and/or derivatives that, in combination, provide inverse exposure to the Index without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. The Fund seeks investment results for a single day only as calculated from NAV to NAV, not for longer periods.<br/><br/>At the close of the markets each trading day, the Fund will seek to position its portfolio so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Fund&#146;s investment objective. The Index&#146;s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund&#146;s portfolio needs to be repositioned. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall. As a result, the Fund&#146;s inverse exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise. As a result, the Fund&#146;s inverse exposure will need to be increased.<br/><br/><b>Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day&#146;s return over time, the return of the 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 the inverse (-1x) of the return of the Index over the same period. The Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat over time, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money over time even if the level of the Index falls, as a result of daily rebalancing, the Index&#146;s volatility and the effects of compounding. See &#147;Principal Risks&#148;, below.</b><br/><br/>The Fund will concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as the Index is so concentrated.<br/><br/>Please see &#147;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus for additional details. Principal Risks The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with transacting in securities and derivatives. In addition, investors may pay brokerage commissions on their purchases and sales of the Fund&#146;s shares. These costs are not reflected in the example or the table above. Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or &#147;turns over&#148; its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund&#146;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&#146;s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund&#146;s annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its entire portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instrument or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund&#146;s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher. Principal Investment Strategies Principal Risks UltraShort Russell2000<br/><br/>Important Information About the Fund<br/>ProShares UltraShort Russell2000 (the &#147;Fund&#148;) seeks investment results <b>for a single day only,</b> not for longer periods. A &#147;single day&#148; is measured from the time the Fund calculates its net asset value (&#147;NAV&#148;) to the time of the Fund&#146;s next NAV calculation. The return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day&#146;s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from two times the inverse (-2x) of the return of the Russell 2000<sup style="vertical-align:baseline; position:relative; bottom:.8ex">&reg;</sup> Index (the &#147;Index&#148;) for that period. <b>For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat over time, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money over time even if the level of the Index falls. </b> Longer holding periods, higher index volatility, inverse multiples and greater leverage each exacerbate the impact of compounding on a fund&#146;s returns. During periods of higher index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the Fund&#146;s return as much as or more than the return of the Index.<br/><br/><b>The Fund is different from most exchange-traded funds in that it seeks inverse leveraged returns relative to the Index and only on a daily basis. The Fund also is riskier than similarly benchmarked exchange-traded funds that do not use leverage. Accordingly, the Fund may not be suitable for all investors and should be used only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily inverse leveraged investment results. Shareholders should actively monitor their investments. </b> 2009-06-30 Investment Objective Investment Results <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b><ul type="square"><li>Risks Associated with the Use of Derivatives &#151; The Fund uses investment techniques, such as investing in derivatives, that may be considered aggressive. Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund&#146;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&#146;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 financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund&#146;s return.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Leverage Risk &#151; The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its assets in seeking to achieve its investment objective&#151;a form of leverage&#151;and will lose more money in market environments adverse to its daily objective than a similar fund that does not employ such leverage. The use of such leverage could result in the total loss of an investor&#146;s investment. For example, because the Fund includes a multiplier of two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index, a single day movement in the Index approaching 50% at any point in the day could result in the total loss of a shareholder&#146;s investment if that movement is contrary to the investment objective of the Fund, even if the Index subsequently moves in an opposite direction, eliminating all or a portion of the earlier movement. This would be the case with any such single day movements in the Index, even if the Index maintains a level greater than zero at all times.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Compounding Risk &#151; As a result of compounding and because the Fund has a single day investment objective, the Fund&#146;s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the Index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on an inverse leveraged fund. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a single day to vary from two times the inverse (-2x) of the return of the Index. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Fund performance for periods greater than a single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index performance; b) Index volatility; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors&#151;Index volatility and Index performance&#151;on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the Fund&#146;s performance would be lower than shown.</li></ul>Areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than two times the inverse (-2x) of the performance of the Index. <b>For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat and can even lose money when the level of the Index falls.</b><div align="center"><img alt="chart" src="g394430n2xefr.jpg"></img></div>The foregoing table is intended to isolate the effect of Index volatility and Index performance on the return of the Fund. For example, the Fund may incorrectly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the Index return were 20%, absent the effects of compounding. However, as the table shows, with Index volatility of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return <br/>-67.2% under such a scenario. The Fund&#146;s actual returns may be significantly greater or less than the returns shown above as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in &#147;Principal Risks&#151;Correlation Risk&#148; below. <br/><br/>The Index&#146;s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 27.67%. The Index&#146;s highest June to June volatility rate during the five-year period was 44.81% (June 30, 2009). The Index&#146;s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 7.01%. <br/><br/>Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future.<br/><br/><b>For additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of Index volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see &#147;Principal Risks of Geared Funds and the Impact of Compounding&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus and &#147;Special Note Regarding the Correlation Risks of Geared Funds&#148; in the Fund&#146;s Statement of Additional Information.</b><ul type="square"><li>Correlation Risk &#151; A number of factors may affect the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of inverse correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. </li></ul>In order to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep exposure consistent with its investment objective. Being materially over- or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index. Market disruptions or closure, regulatory restrictions or extreme market volatility will adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to adjust exposure to requisite levels. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted dynamically by the Index&#146;s movements. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will have perfect inverse exposure (i.e., -2x) to the Index at the end of each day and the likelihood of being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index level is volatile near the close of the trading day.<br/><br/>A number of other factors may also adversely affect the Fund&#146;s inverse correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund&#146;s ability to meet its daily investment objective on or around that day.<ul type="square"><li>Counterparty Risk &#151; The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk &#151; An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such 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.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Equity and Market Risk &#151; The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. As a fund seeking investment results that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index, the Fund&#146;s performance will generally decrease when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Intraday Price Performance Risk &#151; The Fund is rebalanced at or about the time of its NAV calculation. As such, the intraday position of the Fund will generally be different from the Fund&#146;s stated investment objective of corresponding to two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index. When shares are bought intraday, the performance of the Fund&#146;s shares relative to the Index until the Fund&#146;s next NAV calculation time will generally be greater than or less than the Fund&#146;s stated multiple.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Inverse Correlation Risk &#151; Shareholders will lose money when the Index rises&#151;a result that is the opposite from traditional funds.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Liquidity Risk &#151; In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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 judgment of ProShare Advisors. Markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high inverse correlation with the Index.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Market Price Variance Risk &#151; The Fund&#146;s shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, as defined below, ProShare Advisors believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained. The Fund&#146;s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by investors creating and redeeming directly with the Fund.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Portfolio Turnover Risk &#151; Daily rebalancing of Fund holdings, which is required to keep inverse leverage consistent with a single day investment objective, will cause a higher level of portfolio transactions than compared to most exchange-traded funds. Additionally, active market trading of the Fund&#146;s shares may cause more frequent creation or redemption activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Short Sale Exposure Risk &#151; The Fund may seek inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, which may cause the Fund to be exposed to certain risks associated with selling securities short. These risks include, under certain market conditions, an increase in the volatility and decrease in the liquidity of securities underlying the short position, which may adversely impact the Fund&#146;s return, result in a loss, have the effect of limiting the Fund&#146;s ability to obtain inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, or require the Fund to seek inverse exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or may be costly to implement. To the extent that, at any particular point in time, the securities underlying the short position may be thinly traded or have a limited market, including due to regulatory action, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of a counterparty or counterparties. During such periods, the Fund&#146;s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected. Obtaining inverse exposure through these instruments may be considered an aggressive investment technique.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Technology Industry Risk &#151; The Fund is subject to risks faced by companies in the technology industry to the same extent as the Index is so concentrated. Securities of technology companies may be subject to greater volatility than stocks of companies in other market sectors. Technology companies may be affected by intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, general economic conditions and government regulation and may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Technology companies may experience dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel. These companies also are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. A small number of companies represent a large portion of the technology industries as a whole. Further, such stocks in the Index may underperform fixed income investments and stock market indexes that track other markets, segments and sectors. While the realization of certain of the risks faced by these companies may benefit the Fund because the Fund seeks investment results that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index, such occurrences may introduce more volatility to the Fund.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Telecommunications Industry Risk &#151; The Fund is subject to risks faced by companies in the telecommunications economic sector to the same extent as the Index is so concentrated, including: a telecommunications market characterized by increasing competition and regulation by the Federal Communications Commission and various state regulatory authorities; the need to commit substantial capital to meet increasing competition, particularly in formulating new products and services using new technology; and technological innovations that may make various products and services obsolete. Further, such stocks in the Index may underperform fixed income investments and stock market indexes that track other markets, segments and sectors. While the realization of certain of the risks faced by these companies may benefit the Fund because the Fund seeks investment results that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index, such occurrences may introduce more volatility to the Fund.</li></ul>Please see &#147;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus for additional details.

Failure to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.</li></ul>In order to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep exposure consistent with its investment objective. Being materially over- or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index. Market disruptions or closure, regulatory restrictions or extreme market volatility will adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to adjust exposure to requisite levels. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted dynamically by the Index&#146;s movements. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will have perfect inverse exposure (i.e., -1x) to the Index at the end of each day and the likelihood of being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index level is volatile near the close of the trading day.<br/><br/>A number of other factors may also adversely affect the Fund&#146;s inverse correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund&#146;s ability to meet its daily investment objective on or around that day.<br/><br/><ul type="square"><li>Counterparty Risk &#151; The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk &#151; An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such 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.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Equity and Market Risk &#151; The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. As a fund seeking investment results that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the Index, the Fund&#146;s performance will generally decrease when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Intraday Price Performance Risk &#151; The Fund is rebalanced at or about the time of its NAV calculation. As such, the intraday position of the Fund will generally be different from the Fund&#146;s stated investment objective of corresponding to the inverse (-1x) of the Index. When shares are bought intraday, the performance of the Fund&#146;s shares relative to the Index until the Fund&#146;s next NAV calculation time will generally be greater than or less than the Fund&#146;s stated multiple.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Inverse Correlation Risk &#151; Shareholders will lose money when the Index rises&#151;a result that is the opposite from traditional funds. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Liquidity Risk &#151; In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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 judgment of ProShare Advisors. Markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high inverse correlation with the Index.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Market Price Variance Risk &#151; The Fund&#146;s shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, as defined below, ProShare Advisors believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained. The Fund&#146;s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by investors creating and redeeming directly with the Fund. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Portfolio Turnover Risk &#151; Daily rebalancing of Fund holdings, which is required to keep inverse exposure consistent with a single day investment objective, will cause a higher level of portfolio transactions than compared to most exchange-traded funds. Additionally, active market trading of the Fund&#146;s shares may cause more frequent creation or redemption activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Short Sale Exposure Risk &#151; The Fund may seek inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, which may cause the Fund to be exposed to certain risks associated with selling securities short. These risks include, under certain market conditions, an increase in the volatility and decrease in the liquidity of securities underlying the short position, which may adversely impact the Fund&#146;s return, result in a loss, have the effect of limiting the Fund&#146;s ability to obtain inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, or require the Fund to seek inverse exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or may be costly to implement. To the extent that, at any particular point in time, the securities underlying the short position may be thinly traded or have a limited market, including due to regulatory action, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of a counterparty or counterparties. During such periods, the Fund&#146;s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected. Obtaining inverse exposure through these instruments may be considered an aggressive investment technique.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Small- and Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk &#151; The Index and, by extension, the Fund are exposed to stocks of small- and mid-cap companies. The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small- and mid-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Small- and mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small- and mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small- and mid-cap security prices. While the realization of certain of these risks may benefit the Fund because the Fund seeks investment results that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the Index, such occurrences may introduce more volatility to the Fund. </li></ul>Please see &#147;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus for additional details.

Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund&#146;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&#146;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 financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund&#146;s return.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Leverage Risk &#151; The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its assets in seeking to achieve its investment objective&#151;a form of leverage&#151;and will lose more money in market environments adverse to its daily objective than a similar fund that does not employ such leverage. The use of such leverage could result in the total loss of an investor&#146;s investment. For example, because the Fund includes a multiplier of two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index, a single day movement in the Index approaching 50% at any point in the day could result in the total loss of a shareholder&#146;s investment if that movement is contrary to the investment objective of the Fund, even if the Index subsequently moves in an opposite direction, eliminating all or a portion of the earlier movement. This would be the case with any such single day movements in the Index, even if the Index maintains a level greater than zero at all times. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Compounding Risk &#151; As a result of compounding and because the Fund has a single day investment objective, the Fund&#146;s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the Index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on an inverse leveraged fund. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a single day to vary from two times the inverse (-2x) of the return of the Index. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Fund performance for periods greater than a single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index performance; b) Index volatility; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors&#151;Index volatility and Index performance&#151;on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the Fund&#146;s performance would be lower than shown. </li></ul>Areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than two times the inverse (-2x) of the performance of the Index. <b>For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat and can even lose money when the level of the Index falls.</b><div align="center"><img src="g394430n2xefr.jpg"></img></div>The foregoing table is intended to isolate the effect of Index volatility and Index performance on the return of the Fund. For example, the Fund may incorrectly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the Index return were 20%, absent the effects of compounding. However, as the table shows, with Index volatility of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -67.2% under such a scenario. The Fund&#146;s actual returns may be significantly greater or less than the returns shown above as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in &#147;Principal Risks&#151;Correlation Risk&#148; below.<br/><br/>The Index&#146;s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 30.03%.

Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high inverse correlation with the Index. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Market Price Variance Risk &#151; The Fund&#146;s shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, as defined below, ProShare Advisors believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained. The Fund&#146;s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by investors creating and redeeming directly with the Fund. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Portfolio Turnover Risk &#151; Daily rebalancing of Fund holdings, which is required to keep inverse leverage consistent with a single day investment objective, will cause a higher level of portfolio transactions than compared to most exchange-traded funds. Additionally, active market trading of the Fund&#146;s shares may cause more frequent creation or redemption activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Short Sale Exposure Risk &#151; The Fund may seek inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, which may cause the Fund to be exposed to certain risks associated with selling securities short. These risks include, under certain market conditions, an increase in the volatility and decrease in the liquidity of securities underlying the short position, which may adversely impact the Fund&#146;s return, result in a loss, have the effect of limiting the Fund&#146;s ability to obtain inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, or require the Fund to seek inverse exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or may be costly to implement. To the extent that, at any particular point in time, the securities underlying the short position may be thinly traded or have a limited market, including due to regulatory action, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of a counterparty or counterparties. During such periods, the Fund&#146;s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected. Obtaining inverse exposure through these instruments may be considered an aggressive investment technique. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Small- and Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk &#151; The Index and, by extension, the Fund are exposed to stocks of small- and mid-cap companies. The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small- and mid-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Small- and mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small- and mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small- and mid-cap security prices. While the realization of certain of these risks may benefit the Fund because the Fund seeks investment results that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index, such occurrences may introduce more volatility to the Fund. </li></ul>Please see &#147;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus for additional details. <div style="display:none">~ http://www.proshares.com/role/ScheduleAnnualFundOperatingExpensesProSharesShortSmallCap600 column period compact * ~</div> <div style="display:none">~ http://www.proshares.com/role/ScheduleExpenseExampleTransposedProSharesShortSmallCap600 column period compact * ~</div> The Fund invests in derivatives that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should have similar daily return characteristics as two times the inverse (-2x) of the daily return of the Index.

Example: Principal Risks This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.<br/><br/>The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem 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&#146;s operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. Although your actual cost may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be: The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with transacting in securities and derivatives. In addition, investors may pay brokerage commissions on their purchases and sales of the Fund&#146;s shares. These costs are not reflected in the example or the table above. <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b><ul type="square"><li>Risks Associated with the Use of Derivatives &#151; The Fund uses investment techniques, such as investing in derivatives, that may be considered aggressive. Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund&#146;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&#146;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 financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund&#146;s return.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Leverage Risk &#151; The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its assets in seeking to achieve its investment objective&#151;a form of leverage&#151;and will lose more money in market environments adverse to its daily objective than a similar fund that does not employ such leverage. The use of such leverage could result in the total loss of an investor&#146;s investment. For example, because the Fund includes a multiplier of two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index, a single day movement in the Index approaching 50% at any point in the day could result in the total loss of a shareholder&#146;s investment if that movement is contrary to the investment objective of the Fund, even if the Index subsequently moves in an opposite direction, eliminating all or a portion of the earlier movement. This would be the case with any such single day movements in the Index, even if the Index maintains a level greater than zero at all times.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Compounding Risk &#151; As a result of compounding and because the Fund has a single day investment objective, the Fund&#146;s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the Index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on an inverse leveraged fund. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a single day to vary from two times the inverse (-2x) of the return of the Index. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Fund performance for periods greater than a single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index performance; b) Index volatility; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors&#151;Index volatility and Index performance&#151;on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the Fund&#146;s performance would be lower than shown.</li></ul>Areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than two times the inverse (-2x) of the performance of the Index. <b>For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat and can even lose money when the level of the Index falls.</b><div align="center"><img alt="chart" src="g394430n2xefr.jpg"></img></div>The foregoing table is intended to isolate the effect of Index volatility and Index performance on the return of the Fund. For example, the Fund may incorrectly be expected to achieve a -40% return on a yearly basis if the Index return were 20%, absent the effects of compounding. However, as the table shows, with Index volatility of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return <br/>-67.2% under such a scenario. The Fund&#146;s actual returns may be significantly greater or less than the returns shown above as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in &#147;Principal Risks&#151;Correlation Risk&#148; below. <br/><br/>The Index&#146;s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 33.73%. The Index&#146;s highest June to June volatility rate during the five-year period was 53.68% (June 30, 2009). The Index&#146;s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 0.54%. <br/><br/>Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future.<br/><br/><b>For additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of Index volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see &#147;Principal Risks of Geared Funds and the Impact of Compounding&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus and &#147;Special Note Regarding the Correlation Risks of Geared Funds&#148; in the Fund&#146;s Statement of Additional Information.</b><ul type="square"><li>Correlation Risk &#151; A number of factors may affect the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of inverse correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. </li></ul>In order to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep exposure consistent with its investment objective. Being materially over- or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index. Market disruptions or closure, regulatory restrictions or extreme market volatility will adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to adjust exposure to requisite levels. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted dynamically by the Index&#146;s movements. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will have perfect inverse exposure (i.e., -2x) to the Index at the end of each day and the likelihood of being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index level is volatile near the close of the trading day.<br/><br/>A number of other factors may also adversely affect the Fund&#146;s inverse correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund&#146;s ability to meet its daily investment objective on or around that day.<ul type="square"><li>Counterparty Risk &#151; The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk &#151; An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such 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.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Equity and Market Risk &#151; The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. As a fund seeking investment results that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index, the Fund&#146;s performance will generally decrease when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Intraday Price Performance Risk &#151; The Fund is rebalanced at or about the time of its NAV calculation. As such, the intraday position of the Fund will generally be different from the Fund&#146;s stated investment objective of corresponding to two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index. When shares are bought intraday, the performance of the Fund&#146;s shares relative to the Index until the Fund&#146;s next NAV calculation time will generally be greater than or less than the Fund&#146;s stated multiple.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Inverse Correlation Risk &#151; Shareholders will lose money when the Index rises&#151;a result that is the opposite from traditional funds.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Liquidity Risk &#151; In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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 judgment of ProShare Advisors. Markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high inverse correlation with the Index.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Market Price Variance Risk &#151; The Fund&#146;s shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, as defined below, ProShare Advisors believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained. The Fund&#146;s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by investors creating and redeeming directly with the Fund.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Portfolio Turnover Risk &#151; Daily rebalancing of Fund holdings, which is required to keep inverse leverage consistent with a single day investment objective, will cause a higher level of portfolio transactions than compared to most exchange-traded funds. Additionally, active market trading of the Fund&#146;s shares may cause more frequent creation or redemption activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Short Sale Exposure Risk &#151; The Fund may seek inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, which may cause the Fund to be exposed to certain risks associated with selling securities short. These risks include, under certain market conditions, an increase in the volatility and decrease in the liquidity of securities underlying the short position, which may adversely impact the Fund&#146;s return, result in a loss, have the effect of limiting the Fund&#146;s ability to obtain inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, or require the Fund to seek inverse exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or may be costly to implement. To the extent that, at any particular point in time, the securities underlying the short position may be thinly traded or have a limited market, including due to regulatory action, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of a counterparty or counterparties. During such periods, the Fund&#146;s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected. Obtaining inverse exposure through these instruments may be considered an aggressive investment technique.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Small- and Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk &#151; The Index and, by extension, the Fund are exposed to stocks of small- and mid-cap companies. The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small- and mid-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Small- and mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small- and mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small- and mid-cap security prices. While the realization of certain of these risks may benefit the Fund because the Fund seeks investment results that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the Index, such occurrences may introduce more volatility to the Fund.</li></ul>Please see &#147;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus for additional details. 97 465 857 1956 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or &#147;turns over&#148; its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund&#146;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&#146;s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund&#146;s annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its entire portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instrument or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund&#146;s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

Cash balances arising from the use of derivatives will typically be held in money market instruments. <ul type="square"><li>Derivatives &#151; The Fund invests in derivatives, which are financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index. The Fund invests in derivatives as a substitute for directly shorting stocks in order to gain inverse leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include:</li></ul><blockquote><ul type="square"><li>Swap Agreements &#151; Contracts entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard &#147;swap&#148; transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or &#147;swapped&#148; between the parties are calculated with respect to a &#147;notional amount,&#148; e.g., the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a &#147;basket&#148; of securities representing a particular index.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Futures Contracts &#151; A standardized contract traded on, or subject to the rules of, an exchange that calls for the future delivery of a specified quantity and type of asset at a specified time and place or, alternatively, may call for cash settlement.</li></ul></blockquote><ul type="square"><li>Money Market Instruments &#151; The Fund invests in short-term cash instruments that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including: </li></ul><blockquote><ul type="square"><li>U.S. Treasury Bills &#151; U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. </li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Repurchase Agreements &#151; Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy them back at a specified time and price. Repurchase agreements are primarily used by the Fund as a short-term investment vehicle for cash positions.</li></ul></blockquote>ProShare Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing. Using this approach, ProShare Advisors determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that the Fund should hold to approximate on a daily basis the performance of three times the inverse (-3x) of the Index. The Fund may gain inverse exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in the Index, which exposure is intended to have aggregate characteristics similar to those of a multiple of the inverse of the Index, and may invest in securities or financial instruments not contained in the Index. ProShare Advisors does not invest the assets of the Fund in securities or derivatives based on ProShare Advisors&#146; view of the investment merit of a particular security, instrument, or company, other than for cash management purposes, nor does it conduct conventional research or analysis (other than in determining counterparty creditworthiness), or forecast market movement or trends, in managing the assets of the Fund. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities and/or derivatives that, in combination, provide inverse leveraged exposure to the Index without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. The Fund seeks investment results for a single day only as calculated from NAV to NAV, not for longer periods.<br/><br/>At the close of the markets each trading day, the Fund will seek to position its portfolio so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with the Fund&#146;s investment objective. The Index&#146;s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund&#146;s portfolio needs to be repositioned. For example, if the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall. As a result, the Fund&#146;s inverse exposure will need to be decreased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise. As a result, the Fund&#146;s inverse exposure will need to be increased.<br/><br/><b>Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day&#146;s return over time, the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day&#146;s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from three times the inverse (-3x) of the return of the Index over the same period. The Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat over time, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money over time even if the level of the Index falls, as a result of daily rebalancing, the Index&#146;s volatility and the effects of compounding. See &#147;Principal Risks&#148;, below. </b><br/><br/>The Fund will concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as the Index is so concentrated.<br/><br/>Please see &#147;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus for additional details. Principal Risks 97 331 583 1305 <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b><ul type="square"><li>Risks Associated with the Use of Derivatives &#151; The Fund uses investment techniques, such as investing in derivatives, that may be considered aggressive. Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund&#146;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&#146;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 financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund&#146;s return.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Leverage Risk &#151; The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its assets in seeking to achieve its investment objective&#151;a form of leverage&#151;and will lose more money in market environments adverse to its daily objective than a similar fund that does not employ such leverage. The use of such leverage could result in the total loss of an investor&#146;s investment. For example, because the Fund includes a multiplier of three times the inverse (-3x) of the Index, a single day movement in the Index approaching 33% at any point in the day could result in the total loss of a shareholder&#146;s investment if that movement is contrary to the investment objective of the Fund, even if the Index subsequently moves in an opposite direction, eliminating all or a portion of the earlier movement. This would be the case with any such single day movements in the Index, even if the Index maintains a level greater than zero at all times.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Compounding Risk &#151; As a result of compounding and because the Fund has a single day investment objective, the Fund&#146;s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the Index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on an inverse leveraged fund. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a single day to vary from three times the inverse (-3x) of the return of the Index. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Fund performance for periods greater than a single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index performance; b) Index volatility; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors&#151;Index volatility and Index performance&#151;on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the Fund&#146;s performance would be lower than shown.</li></ul>Areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than three times the inverse (-3x) of the performance of the Index. <b>For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat and can even lose money when the level of the Index falls.</b><div align="center"><img src="g394430n3xefr.jpg"></img></div>The foregoing table is intended to isolate the effect of Index volatility and Index performance on the return of the Fund. For example, the Fund may incorrectly be expected to achieve a -60% return on a yearly basis if the Index return were 20%, absent the effects of compounding. However, as the table shows, with Index volatility of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -87.1% under such a scenario. The Fund&#146;s actual returns may be significantly greater or less than the returns shown above as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in &#147;Principal Risks&#151;Correlation Risk&#148; below.<br/><br/>The Index&#146;s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 26.77%. The Index&#146;s highest June to June volatility rate during the five-year period was 45.46% (June 30, 2009). The Index&#146;s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 0.22%.<br/><br/>Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future.<br/><br/><b>For additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of Index volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see &#147;Principal Risks of Geared Funds and the Impact of Compounding&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus and &#147;Special Note Regarding the Correlation Risks of Geared Funds&#148; in the Fund&#146;s Statement of Additional Information.</b><ul type="square"><li>Correlation Risk &#151; A number of factors may affect the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of inverse correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.</li></ul>In order to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep exposure consistent with its investment objective. Being materially over- or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index. Market disruptions or closure, regulatory restrictions or extreme market volatility will adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to adjust exposure to requisite levels. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted dynamically by the Index&#146;s movements. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will have perfect inverse exposure (i.e., -3x) to the Index at the end of each day and the likelihood of being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index level is volatile near the close of the trading day.<br/><br/>A number of other factors may also adversely affect the Fund&#146;s inverse correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund&#146;s ability to meet its daily investment objective on or around that day.<ul type="square"><li>Counterparty Risk &#151; The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk &#151; An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such 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.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Equity and Market Risk &#151; The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. As a fund seeking investment results that correspond to three times the inverse (-3x) of the Index, the Fund&#146;s performance will generally decrease when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Intraday Price Performance Risk &#151; The Fund is rebalanced at or about the time of its NAV calculation. As such, the intraday position of the Fund will generally be different from the Fund&#146;s stated investment objective of corresponding to three times the inverse (-3x) of the Index. When shares are bought intraday, the performance of the Fund&#146;s shares relative to the Index until the Fund&#146;s next NAV calculation time will generally be greater than or less than the Fund&#146;s stated multiple.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Inverse Correlation Risk &#151; Shareholders will lose money when the Index rises&#151;a result that is the opposite from traditional funds.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Liquidity Risk &#151; In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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 judgment of ProShare Advisors. Markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high inverse correlation with the Index.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Market Price Variance Risk &#151; The Fund&#146;s shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, as defined below, ProShare Advisors believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained. The Fund&#146;s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by investors creating and redeeming directly with the Fund.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective. This makes the performance of the Fund more susceptible to adverse impact to an issuer or counterparty than a diversified fund might be. This risk may be particularly acute when the Index is comprised of a small number of securities.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Portfolio Turnover Risk &#151; Daily rebalancing of Fund holdings, which is required to keep inverse leverage consistent with a single day investment objective, will cause a higher level of portfolio transactions than compared to most exchange-traded funds. Additionally, active market trading of the Fund&#146;s shares may cause more frequent creation or redemption activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Short Sale Exposure Risk &#151; The Fund may seek inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, which may cause the Fund to be exposed to certain risks associated with selling securities short. These risks include, under certain market conditions, an increase in the volatility and decrease in the liquidity of securities underlying the short position, which may adversely impact the Fund&#146;s return, result in a loss, have the effect of limiting the Fund&#146;s ability to obtain inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, or require the Fund to seek inverse exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or may be costly to implement. To the extent that, at any particular point in time, the securities underlying the short position may be thinly traded or have a limited market, including due to regulatory action, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of a counterparty or counterparties. During such periods, the Fund&#146;s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected. Obtaining inverse exposure through these instruments may be considered an aggressive investment technique.</li></ul>Please see &#147;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus for additional details. <b>You could lose money by investing in the Fund. </b> Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective.

Updated information on the Fund&#146;s results can be obtained by visiting ProShares.com. <b>Annual Returns as of December 31 each year </b> This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.<br/><br/>The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem 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&#146;s operating expenses remain the same, except that the fee waiver/expense reimbursement is assumed only to pertain to the first year. Although your actual cost may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your approximate costs would be: The Fund pays transaction and financing costs associated with transacting in securities and derivatives. In addition, investors may pay brokerage commissions on their purchases and sales of the Fund&#146;s shares. These costs are not reflected in the example or the table above. Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or &#147;turns over&#148; its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund&#146;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&#146;s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund&#146;s annual portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its entire portfolio. This portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to cash instrument or derivatives transactions. If such transactions were included, the Fund&#146;s portfolio turnover rate would be significantly higher.

Investment Results Investment Results Average annual total returns are shown on a before- and after-tax basis for the Fund. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor&#146;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.<br/><br/>Annual returns are required to be shown and should not be interpreted as suggesting that the Fund should or should not be held for longer periods of time. The Fund may not be suitable for all investors and should only be used by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily inverse leveraged results (i.e., -3x). Shareholders should actively monitor their investments.

Investing in derivatives may expose the Fund to greater risks than investing directly in the reference asset(s) underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased correlation risk (each as discussed below). When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the reference asset(s) and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Moreover, with respect to the use of swap agreements, if the Index has a dramatic intraday move that causes a material decline in the Fund&#146;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&#146;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 financing, borrowing and other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund&#146;s return.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Leverage Risk &#151; The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its assets in seeking to achieve its investment objective&#151;a form of leverage&#151;and will lose more money in market environments adverse to its daily objective than a similar fund that does not employ such leverage. The use of such leverage could result in the total loss of an investor&#146;s investment. For example, because the Fund includes a multiplier of three times the inverse (-3x) of the Index, a single day movement in the Index approaching 33% at any point in the day could result in the total loss of a shareholder&#146;s investment if that movement is contrary to the investment objective of the Fund, even if the Index subsequently moves in an opposite direction, eliminating all or a portion of the earlier movement. This would be the case with any such single day movements in the Index, even if the Index maintains a level greater than zero at all times.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Compounding Risk &#151; As a result of compounding and because the Fund has a single day investment objective, the Fund&#146;s performance for periods greater than a single day is likely to be either greater than or less than the Index performance times the stated multiple in the Fund objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on an inverse leveraged fund. Particularly during periods of higher Index volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a single day to vary from three times the inverse (-3x) of the return of the Index. This effect becomes more pronounced as volatility increases. Fund performance for periods greater than a single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) Index performance; b) Index volatility; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in the Index. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors&#151;Index volatility and Index performance&#151;on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Index volatility and Index performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes: (a) no dividends paid with respect to securities included in the Index; (b) no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse leveraged exposure) of zero percent. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the Fund&#146;s performance would be lower than shown.</li></ul>Areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than three times the inverse (-3x) of the performance of the Index. <b>For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat and can even lose money when the level of the Index falls.</b><div align="center"><img src="g394430n3xefr.jpg"></img></div>The foregoing table is intended to isolate the effect of Index volatility and Index performance on the return of the Fund. For example, the Fund may incorrectly be expected to achieve a -60% return on a yearly basis if the Index return were 20%, absent the effects of compounding. However, as the table shows, with Index volatility of 50%, the Fund could be expected to return -87.1% under such a scenario. The Fund&#146;s actual returns may be significantly greater or less than the returns shown above as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in &#147;Principal Risks&#151;Correlation Risk&#148; below.<br/><br/>The Index&#146;s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 30.03%. The Index&#146;s highest June to June volatility rate during the five-year period was 49.45% (June 30, 2009). The Index&#146;s annualized performance for the five-year period ended June 30, 2012 was 2.55%.<br/><br/>Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future.<br/><br/><b>For additional graphs and charts demonstrating the effects of Index volatility and Index performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see &#147;Principal Risks of Geared Funds and the Impact of Compounding&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus and &#147;Special Note Regarding the Correlation Risks of Geared Funds&#148; in the Fund&#146;s Statement of Additional Information.</b><ul type="square"><li>Correlation Risk &#151; A number of factors may affect the Fund&#146;s ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of inverse correlation. Failure to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.</li></ul>In order to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep exposure consistent with its investment objective. Being materially over- or under-exposed to the Index may prevent the Fund from achieving a high degree of inverse correlation with the Index. Market disruptions or closure, regulatory restrictions or extreme market volatility will adversely affect the Fund&#146;s ability to adjust exposure to requisite levels. The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted dynamically by the Index&#146;s movements. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will have perfect inverse exposure (i.e., -3x) to the Index at the end of each day and the likelihood of being materially over- or under-exposed is higher on days when the Index level is volatile near the close of the trading day. <br/><br/>A number of other factors may also adversely affect the Fund&#146;s inverse correlation with the Index, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs associated with the use of derivatives, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may not have investment exposure to all securities in the Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may be different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities or financial instruments not included in the Index. The Fund may also be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Index. Activities surrounding Index reconstitutions or other Index rebalancing events may hinder the Fund&#146;s ability to meet its daily investment objective on or around that day.<ul type="square"><li>Counterparty Risk &#151; The Fund will be subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations) with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to derivatives and repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or fails to perform its obligations, the value of your investment in the Fund may decline.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk &#151; An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives may be restricted, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or derivatives. In such 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.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Equity and Market Risk &#151; The equity markets are volatile, and the value of securities, swaps, futures, options contracts and other instruments correlated with the equity markets may fluctuate dramatically from day-to-day. Equity markets are subject to political, regulatory, market and economic developments, as well as developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. Volatility in the markets and/or market developments may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to decrease. As a fund seeking investment results that correspond to three times the inverse (-3x) of the Index, the Fund&#146;s performance will generally decrease when market conditions cause the level of the Index to rise.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Intraday Price Performance Risk &#151; The Fund is rebalanced at or about the time of its NAV calculation. As such, the intraday position of the Fund will generally be different from the Fund&#146;s stated investment objective of corresponding to three times the inverse (-3x) of the Index. When shares are bought intraday, the performance of the Fund&#146;s shares relative to the Index until the Fund&#146;s next NAV calculation time will generally be greater than or less than the Fund&#146;s stated multiple.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Inverse Correlation Risk &#151; Shareholders will lose money when the Index rises&#151;a result that is the opposite from traditional funds.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Liquidity Risk &#151; In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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 judgment of ProShare Advisors. Markets for the securities or derivatives in which the 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. Such situations may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high inverse correlation with the Index.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Market Price Variance Risk &#151; The Fund&#146;s shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for shares. ProShare Advisors cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, as defined below, ProShare Advisors believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained. The Fund&#146;s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by investors creating and redeeming directly with the Fund.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Non-Diversification Risk &#151; The Fund is classified as &#147;non-diversified&#148; under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers susceptible to a single economic, political or regulatory event, or in derivative instruments with a single counterparty if ProShare Advisors determines that doing so is the most efficient means of meeting the Fund&#146;s investment objective.

During such periods, the Fund&#146;s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected. Obtaining inverse exposure through these instruments may be considered an aggressive investment technique.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Small- and Mid-Cap Company Investment Risk &#151; The Index and, by extension, the Fund are exposed to stocks of small- and mid-cap companies. The risk of equity investing may be particularly acute for securities of issuers with smaller market capitalizations. Small- and mid-cap company stocks may trade at greater spreads or lower trading volumes, and may be less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Small- and mid-cap companies may have limited product lines or resources, may be dependent upon a particular market niche and may have greater fluctuations in price than the stocks of larger companies. Further, stocks of small- and mid-sized companies could be more difficult to liquidate during market downturns compared to larger, more widely traded companies. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies may lack the financial and personnel resources to handle economic or industry-wide setbacks and, as a result, such setbacks could have a greater effect on small- and mid-cap security prices. While the realization of certain of these risks may benefit the Fund because the Fund seeks investment results that correspond to three times the inverse (-3x) of the Index, such occurrences may introduce more volatility to the Fund.

Additionally, active market trading of the Fund&#146;s shares may cause more frequent creation or redemption activities that could, in certain circumstances, increase the number of portfolio transactions. High levels of transactions increase brokerage costs and may result in increased taxable capital gains.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Short Sale Exposure Risk &#151; The Fund may seek inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, which may cause the Fund to be exposed to certain risks associated with selling securities short. These risks include, under certain market conditions, an increase in the volatility and decrease in the liquidity of securities underlying the short position, which may adversely impact the Fund&#146;s return, result in a loss, have the effect of limiting the Fund&#146;s ability to obtain inverse exposure through financial instruments such as swap agreements, or require the Fund to seek inverse exposure through alternative investment strategies that may be less desirable or may be costly to implement. To the extent that, at any particular point in time, the securities underlying the short position may be thinly traded or have a limited market, including due to regulatory action, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of a counterparty or counterparties. During such periods, the Fund&#146;s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected. Obtaining inverse exposure through these instruments may be considered an aggressive investment technique.</li></ul>Please see &#147;Investment Objectives, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks&#148; in the Fund&#146;s full Prospectus for additional details.

The Index, a modified market capitalization-weighted index, includes 100 of the largest non-financial domestic and international issues listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market. As of June 30, 2012, the Index included companies with capitalizations between approximately $2.4 billion and $546.0 billion. The average capitalization of the companies comprising the Index was approximately $31.3 billion. The Index is published under the Bloomberg ticker symbol &#147;NDX.&#148;<br/><br/>The types of derivatives that the Fund will principally invest in are set forth below. Cash balances arising from the use of derivatives will typically be held in money market instruments.<ul type="square"><li>Derivatives &#151; The Fund invests in derivatives, which are financial instruments whose value is derived from the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index. The Fund invests in derivatives as a substitute for directly shorting stocks in order to gain inverse leveraged exposure to the Index. These derivatives principally include: </li></ul><blockquote><ul type="square"><li>Swap Agreements &#151; Contracts entered into primarily with major global financial institutions for a specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard &#147;swap&#148; transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or &#147;swapped&#148; between the parties are calculated with respect to a &#147;notional amount,&#148; e.g., the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a &#147;basket&#148; of securities representing a particular index.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Futures Contracts &#151; A standardized contract traded on, or subject to the rules of, an exchange that calls for the future delivery of a specified quantity and type of asset at a specified time and place or, alternatively, may call for cash settlement.</li></ul></blockquote><ul type="square"><li>Money Market Instruments &#151; The Fund invests in short-term cash instruments that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including:</li></ul><blockquote><ul type="square"><li> U.S. Treasury Bills &#151; U.S. government securities that have initial maturities of one year or less, and are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.</li></ul><ul type="square"><li>Repurchase Agreements &#151; Contracts in which a seller of securities, usually U.S. government securities or other money market instruments, agrees to buy them back at a specified time and price. Repurchase agreements are primarily used by the Fund as a short-term investment vehicle for cash positions.</li></ul></blockquote>ProShare Advisors uses a mathematical approach to investing. Using this approach, ProShare Advisors determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that the Fund should hold to approximate on a daily basis the performance of three times the inverse (-3x) of the Index. The Fund may gain inverse exposure to only a representative sample of the securities in the Index, which exposure is intended to have aggregate characteristics similar to those of a multiple of the inverse of the Index, and may invest in securities or financial instruments not contained in the Index. ProShare Advisors does not invest the assets of the Fund in securities or derivatives based on ProShare Advisors&#146; view of the investment merit of a particular security, instrument, or company, other than for cash management purposes, nor does it conduct conventional research or analysis (other than in determining counterparty creditworthiness), or forecast market movement or trends, in managing the assets of the Fund. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times in securities and/or derivatives that, in combination, provide inverse leveraged exposure to the Index without regard to market conditions, trends or direction. The Fund seeks investment results for a single day only as calculated from NAV to NAV, not for longer periods.<br/><br/>At the close of the markets each trading day, the Fund will seek to position its portfolio so that its exposure to the Index is consiste
