FAQs about the TSLY Reverse
Split
1. What is a reverse split of
an ETF?
A reverse split of an ETF is a type
of corporate action that reduces the number of outstanding shares
of the ETF while proportionately increasing the ETF’s net asset
value (“NAV”).
2. What is the timing and
effective date of the TSLY reverse split?
The TSLY reverse split will become
effective prior to market open on February 26,
2024. TSLY will begin trading at its post-split price on
such date. The total market value of the TSLY shares outstanding
will not be affected as a result of this reverse split, except with
respect to the redemption of fractional shares, as
discussed below.
3. Will a TSLY reverse split
affect the value of a TSLY shareholder’s investment
portfolio?
No, a TSLY reverse split will not
alter the rights or value of a shareholder’s investment
portfolio.
The table below illustrates, among
other things, how a hypothetical dividend before and after a
1-for-2 reverse split of a hypothetical ETF does not affect such
ETF’s hypothetical dividend yield. This example is provided for
informational purposes only.

* The Hypothetical Dividend Yield above does not represent
actual dividend payment history, and is the yield a shareholder
would receive if the hypothetical Monthly Dividend per Share shown
above is annualized. It is calculated by multiplying such dividend
per share by twelve (12), and dividing the resulting amount by the
ETF NAV.
4. Will a TSLY reverse split
impact TSLY’s performance?
The performance of TSLY is based on
its portfolio holdings. A reverse split of TSLY has no impact on
its portfolio or its performance.
5. What are fractional
shares?
Fractional shares arise when the
number of shares held by a shareholder cannot be evenly divided by
the reverse split factor (see following example).
In that case, the excess, post-split fractional shares are redeemed
for cash that will be sent to the shareholder’s broker of
record.
Example: Say a
shareholder owns 101 shares of an ETF worth $10 each that are
subject to a 1-for-2 reverse split (in such case, the
reverse split factor is 2). Prior to the reverse
split, the value of the shareholder’s investment portfolio is
$1,010 (101 x $10). After the 1-for-2 reverse split, the
shareholder owns 50 shares worth $20 each and one fractional share
(0.5 of a post-split share), which is redeemed for $10 in cash (0.5
x $20). The value of the shareholder’s investment portfolio remains
$1,010 ($1,000 + $10). The reverse split does not
affect the value of the shareholder’s investment
portfolio.
This cash payout on the redeemed
fractional shares, if any, may cause some shareholders to realize a
gain or loss, which could be a taxable event for those
shareholders. Otherwise, the reverse split will not result
in a taxable transaction for shareholders.
6. How many fractional TSLY
shares should a TSLY shareholder expect to receive from this
reverse split?
Given that the TSLY reverse split has
a reverse split ratio of 1:2 (and a reverse split factor of 2), a
TSLY shareholder will only receive fractional shares if the number
of TSLY shares held prior to the reverse split cannot be evenly
divided by 2. In such case, the shareholder will never
receive more than 0.9999 fractional TSLY shares as a result of this
reverse split.* The table below serves as an
illustration.

shares.
