Fractional Shares

As a result of the reverse stock split, a shareholder of the Fund's shares could potentially hold fractional shares. In this case, the Fund will redeem the cash value (at NAV) of any fractional shares resulting from the reverse split. Receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares may result in a taxable event to shareholders, and each shareholder should consult with the shareholder's own tax advisers with respect to the appropriate treatment of the receipt of such cash payment.

Brokerage Charges

Some brokerage charges may apply because of the reverse split. These charges are made directly by the broker and are not charges from Global X Management Company LLC.
