Bernstein Liebhard LLP has filed cases (the “Complaints”) against ProShares Trust (“ProShares”) concerning ProShares’ SRS, SKF, UYG, DUG, and DXD funds (the “Funds”). These complaints allege that ProShares, as well as others, violated the Securities Act of 1933 by failing to disclose the following risks, inter alia, in the Registration Statement, Prospectuses, and Statements of Additional Information issued in connection with shares of the Funds: (1) if shares of the Funds were held for a time period longer than one day, the likelihood of catastrophic losses was huge; and (2) the extent to which performance of the Funds would inevitably diverge from the performance of its benchmark—i.e., the overwhelming probability, if not certainty, of spectacular divergence.

A case has also been filed concerning ProShares’ Ultra Oil & Gas fund (NYSE: DIG) (the “DIG Fund”). The deadline to move for lead plaintiff in the action concerning the DIG Fund is January 4, 2010.

A “lead plaintiff” is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the court must determine that the class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain Bernstein Liebhard LLP, or other counsel of your choice, to serve as your counsel in this action.

Bernstein Liebhard LLP is also investigating claims on behalf of investors in all other ProShares leveraged funds (see list below).
