Direxion Announces Forward Split of MEXX, GUSH and TMV and Reverse Split of HIBS

NEW YORK — August 4, 2023 — Direxion has announced it will execute forward share splits for three of its ETFs and a reverse share split for one of its ETFs. The total market value of the shares outstanding will not be affected as a result of these splits, except with respect to the redemption of fractional shares for the reverse split, as outlined below.

Forward Splits

Direxion will execute forward splits of the issued and outstanding shares of the Direxion Daily MSCI Mexico Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp. & Prod. Bull 2X Shares, and the Direxion Daily 20+ Year Treasury Bear 3X Shares (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”).

After the close of the markets on August 25, 2023 (the “Payable Date”), each Fund will effect a forward split of its issued and outstanding shares as follows:

As a result of these share splits, shareholders of each Fund will receive five or four, as applicable, shares for each share held of the applicable Fund as indicated in the table above. Accordingly, the number of each Fund’s issued and outstanding shares will increase by the approximate percentage indicated above.

All share splits will apply to shareholders of record as of the close of NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “NYSE Arca”) on August 24, 2023 (the “Record Date”), payable after the close of the NYSE Arca on the Payable Date. Shares of the Funds will begin trading on the NYSE Arca on a split-adjusted basis on August 28, 2023 (the “Ex-Date”). On the Ex-Date, the opening market value of each Fund’s issued and outstanding shares, and thus a shareholder’s investment value, will not be affected by the share split. However, the per share net asset value (“NAV”) and opening market price on the Ex-Date will be approximately one-fifth or one-fourth, as applicable, for the Funds. The table below illustrates the effect of a hypothetical five-for-one or four-for-one split on a shareholder’s investment.

5-for-1 Forward Split

4-for-1 Forward Split

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

Reverse Split

Direxion will execute a reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Direxion Daily S&P 500^® High Beta Bear 3X Shares (“Fund”).

After the close of the markets on August 25, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Fund will effect a reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares as follows:

Please note the CUSIP changes, effective August 28, 2023:

As a result of the reverse split, every ten shares of the Fund will be exchanged for one share as indicated in the table above. Accordingly, the total number of the issued and outstanding shares for the 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-times higher for the Fund. Shares of the Fund will begin trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “NYSE Arca”) on a split-adjusted basis on August 28, 2023.

The next day’s opening market value of the Fund’s issued and outstanding shares, and thus a shareholder’s investment value, will not be affected by the reverse split. The table below illustrates the effect of a hypothetical one-for-ten reverse split anticipated for the Fund:

1-for-10 Reverse Split

Redemption of Fractional Shares and Tax Consequences of the Reverse Split

As a result of the reverse split, a shareholder of the Fund’s shares potentially could hold a fractional share. However, fractional shares cannot trade on the NYSE Arca. Thus, the Fund will redeem for cash a shareholder’s fractional shares at the Fund’s split-adjusted NAV as of the Effective 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 split 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” Unit

Also as a result of the reverse split, the Fund may have outstanding one aggregation of less than 50,000 shares to make a creation unit, or an “odd lot unit.” Thus, the 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.

The Trust’s transfer agent will notify the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) of the splits 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 the Funds’ record owners.
