Direxion Announces Reverse Split of DUST, TECS, WEBS, and YANG

Direxion, a leading provider of tradeable ETFs, has announced it will execute a reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bear 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Technology Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Dow Jones Internet Bear 3X Shares and Direxion Daily FTSE China Bear 3X Shares (the “Funds”). The total market value of the shares outstanding will not be affected as a result of this split, except with respect to the redemption of fractional shares, as outlined below.

After the close of the markets on November 1, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), each Fund will effect a reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares as follows:

Accordingly, the total number of the issued and outstanding shares for a Fund will decrease by the approximate percentage indicated above. In addition, the per share net asset value (“NAV”) and next day’s opening market price will be approximately ten- or twenty-times higher, as applicable, for the Funds. Shares of the Funds will begin trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “NYSE Arca”) on a split-adjusted basis on November 4, 2024.

The next day’s opening market value of the Funds’ issued and outstanding shares, and thus a shareholder’s investment value, will not be affected by the reverse split. The tables below illustrate the effect of a hypothetical one-for-ten or one-for-twenty reverse split anticipated for the Funds, as applicable:1-for-10 Reverse SplitPeriod# of Shares OwnedHypothetical NAVTotal Market ValuePre-Split1000$1$1,000Post-Split100$10$1,0001-for-20 Reverse SplitPeriod# of Shares OwnedHypothetical NAVTotal Market ValuePre-Split1000$1$1,000Post-Split50$20$1,000The Direxion Shares ETF Trust’s transfer agent will notify the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) of the reverse split and instruct DTC to adjust each shareholder’s investment(s) accordingly. DTC is the registered owner of the Funds’ shares and maintains a record of each Fund’s record owners.

Redemption of Fractional Shares and Tax Consequences of the Reverse SplitAs a result of the reverse splits, a shareholder of a Fund’s shares potentially could hold a fractional share. However, fractional shares cannot trade on the NYSE Arca. Thus, a Fund will redeem for cash a shareholder’s fractional shares at the Fund’s split-adjusted NAV as of the Record Date. Such redemption may have tax implications for those shareholders and a shareholder could recognize a gain or loss in connection with the redemption of the shareholder’s fractional shares. Otherwise, the reverse splits will not result in a taxable transaction for holders of Fund shares. No transaction fee will be imposed on shareholders for such redemption.“Odd Lot” UnitAlso as a result of the reverse splits, a Fund may have outstanding one aggregation of less than 50,000 shares to make a creation unit, or an “odd lot unit.” Thus, a Fund will provide one authorized participant with a one-time opportunity to redeem the odd lot unit at the split-adjusted NAV or the NAV on such date the authorized participant seeks to redeem the odd lot unit.All Direxion leveraged and inverse ETFs are intended only for investors with an in-depth understanding of the risks associated with seeking leveraged investment results, and who plan to actively monitor and manage their positions.
