Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP (http://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases/proshares/) filed the first securities class action on behalf of purchasers of ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (“SVXY” or the “Fund”) (NASDAQ:SVXY) pursuant to the May 15, 2017 Registration Statement and/or between May 15, 2017 and February 5, 2018 (the “Class Period”) in the Southern District of New York, captioned Ford v. ProShares Trust II, et al., No. 19-cv-00886. On February 27, 2019, a second complaint asserting the same claims was also filed in the Southern District of New York, Bittner v. ProShares Trust II, et al., No. 1:19-cv-01840, but this complaint is on behalf of purchasers of SVXY securities, including options.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased SVXY securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and/or during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff. Lead plaintiff motions must be filed with the Court by April 1, 2019. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff’s counsel, Samuel H. Rudman or David A. Rosenfeld of Robbins Geller at 800/449-4900 or 619/231-1058, or via e-mail at djr@rgrdlaw.com.
