Accordingly, thetotal number of the issued and outstanding shares for the Funds will decreaseby the approximate percentage indicated above. In addition, the per-share netasset value ("NAV") and next day's opening market price will be approximately10- or four-times higher for the Funds. Shares of the Funds will begin tradingon NYSE Arca, Inc. ("NYSE Arca") on a split-adjusted basis on May 20, 2015(the "Effective Date").The next day's opening market value of the Funds' issued and outstandingshares, and thus a shareholder's investment value, will not be affected by thereverse split. The tables below illustrate the effect of a hypothetical1-for-10 and 1-for-4 reverse split anticipated for the Funds, as applicableand described above:Hypothetical example of 1-for-10 Reverse SplitPeriod # of Shares Owned Hypothetical NAV Total Market ValuePre-Split 120 $10 $1,200Post-Split 12 $100 $1,200Hypothetical example of 1-for-4 Reverse SplitPeriod # of Shares Owned Hypothetical NAV Total Market ValuePre-Split 120 $10 $1,200Post-Split 30 $40 $1,20011 Forward SplitsAdditionally, Direxion will execute forward splits of the shares of theDirexion Daily Mid Cap Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily India Bull 3X Shares,Direxion Daily Healthcare Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Retail Bull 3XShares, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily FinancialBull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Technology Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily S&P500^® Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bull 2X Shares, Direxion DailySmall Cap Bull 2X Shares, and Direxion Daily 7-10 Year Treasury Bull 2XShares.After the close of the markets on May 19, 2015 (the "Payable Date"), each Fundwill affect a split of each Fund's issued and outstanding shares as follows: ApproximateETF Forward Split Ratio increase in total number of outstanding sharesDirexion Daily Mid Cap Bull 3X Shares 4 for 1 400%(MIDU)Direxion Daily India Bull 3X Shares 4 for 1 400%(INDL)Direxion Daily Healthcare Bull 3X 4 for 1 400%Shares (CURE)Direxion Daily Retail Bull 3X Shares 4 for 1 400%(RETL)Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X 4 for 1 400%Shares (SOXL)Direxion Daily Financial Bull 3X Shares 4 for 1 400%(FAS)Direxion Daily Technology Bull 3X 4 for 1 400%Shares (TECL)Direxion Daily S&P 500^® Bull 2X Shares 4 for 1 400%(SPUU)Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bull 2X Shares 4 for 1 400%(MDLL)Direxion Daily Small Cap Bull 2X Shares 4 for 1 400%(SMLL)Direxion Daily 7-10 Year Treasury Bull2X Shares 2 for 1 200%(SYTL)As a result of these share splits, shareholders of each Fund will receive anadditional four or two shares for each share held of the applicable Fund asindicated in the table above. Accordingly, the number of each Fund's issuedand outstanding shares will increase by approximately 400% or 200% asindicated above. All forward share splits will apply to shareholders of record as of the closeof the NYSE Arca on May 18, 2015 (the "Record Date"), payable after the closeof the NYSE Arca on May 19, 2015 (the "Payable Date"). Shares of the Fundswill begin trading on the NYSE Arca on a split-adjusted basis on May 20, 2015(the "Ex-Date"). On the Ex-Date, the opening market value of each Fund'sissued and outstanding shares, and thus a shareholder's investment value, willnot be affected by the share split. However, the per-share NAV and openingmarket price on the Ex-Date will be approximately one-fourth and one-half forthe Funds. The tables below illustrate the effect of a hypotheticalfour-for-one and two-for-one share split on a shareholder's investment.Hypothetical Example of 4-for-1 Forward Share SplitPeriod # of Shares Owned Hypothetical NAV Total Market ValuePre-Split 100 $40 $4,000Post-Split 400 $10 $4,000Hypothetical Example of 2-for-1 Forward Share SplitPeriod # of Shares Owned Hypothetical NAV Total Market ValuePre-Split 100 $40 $4,000Post-Split 200 $20 $4,000The Trust's transfer agent will notify the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") ofthe reverse and forward splits and instruct the DTC to adjust eachshareholder's investment(s) accordingly. DTC is the registered owner of theFunds' shares and maintains a record of the Funds' record owners.Redemption of Fractional Shares and Tax Consequences for Each Reverse andForward SplitAs a result of the reverse or forward split, a shareholder of a Fund's sharescould potentially hold a fractional share. However, fractional shares cannottrade on the NYSE Arca. Thus, a Fund will redeem for cash a shareholder'sfractional shares at the Fund's split-adjusted NAV as of the Record Date. Suchredemption may have tax implications for those shareholders and a shareholdercould recognize a gain or loss in connection with the redemption of theshareholder's fractional shares. Otherwise, the reverse or forward split willnot result in a taxable transaction for holders of Fund shares. No transactionfee will be imposed on shareholders for such redemption.
