Supplement dated February 18, 2026
to each Fund’s Prospectus and Disclosure Document
dated March 28, 2025
ProShare Capital Management LLC (the “Sponsor”) has approved the use of an affiliated money market ETF as the primary cash management vehicle for each Fund. The money market ETF invests in U.S. Treasury bills, notes or bonds with remaining maturities of 93 days or less, and is managed by an affiliate of the Sponsor, ProShare Advisors LLC. Currently, each Fund invests available cash in a variety of money market instruments, including U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements, and interest-bearing accounts. Each Fund’s cash holdings are managed separately and primarily provide liquidity or serve as collateral in futures margin accounts and, from time to time, in swap collateral accounts. The Sponsor believes pooling the cash investments for each Fund in a single centralized vehicle should help each Fund achieve greater operational efficiency, scale, and consistency. The Funds expect to continue to use other money market instruments as necessary and appropriate to meet their investment objectives, but expect to use the affiliated money market ETF as their primary cash management vehicle.
The Sponsor has agreed to assume all the management fees associated with investments in this affiliated money market ETF. The Sponsor believes the Funds will complete the initial transition of the current money market investments to this affiliated money market ETF without paying brokerage fees. However, after the initial transition, the Funds may pay brokerage fees to unaffiliated brokers in connection with the purchase and sale of the affiliated money market ETF’s shares. The Sponsor does not expect these brokerage fees to materially differ from the costs the Funds currently incur when transacting in U.S. Treasuries and other money market instruments.
The Funds’ investment objectives and principal investment strategies will not change.
Effective immediately, the following is added to the cover page:
For margin and/or cash management purposes, each Fund may invest in money market instruments, including U.S. Treasury securities, money market mutual funds and exchange-traded funds that seek to operate as money market funds (“Money Market ETFs”), including any managed by an affiliate of the Sponsor (collectively, “Money Market Instruments”).
Effective immediately, all references to “Financial Instruments and money market instruments” are replaced with “Financial Instruments and Money Market Instruments” and all references to “(such as shares of money market funds)” are replaced with “(such as shares of an affiliated Money Market ETF)”.
Effective immediately, the following is added to the section titled “Risk Factor Summary - Risks Related to All Funds”:
•Investments in Money Market Instruments may be adversely affected by economic, political or market events affecting issuers of money market instruments, defaults by counterparties or changes in government regulations and adverse events in the U.S. Treasury markets, which may have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s investments in money market instruments through an affiliated ETF are subject to the additional risks that the ETF’s share price may fluctuate,
including deviating from its net asset value during illiquid markets or during periods of high redemption activity, and that the ETF does not seek to maintain a stable net asset value. In addition, the actions of a few large investors in the affiliated money market ETF could significantly influence its share price.
•Investments in an affiliated Money Market ETF may present potential conflicts of interest, such as decisions that could favor the Sponsor, the affiliated Money Market ETF or its advisor over the Funds. Fee waiver arrangements may not eliminate all such conflicts. However, the Sponsor believes that the benefits and efficiencies of making investments in affiliated Money Market ETFs outweigh resulting conflicts of interest.
Effective immediately, the “Money Market Instruments” description is deleted and replaced as follows:
Money market instruments are short-term debt instruments that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less and exhibit high quality credit profiles. Money market instruments may include U.S. government securities, securities issued by governments of other developed countries, repurchase agreements, and shares of money market mutual funds and/or Money Market ETFs, including those managed by affiliates of the Sponsor.
Effective immediately, the following is added to footnote #2 to the Breakeven Tables:
For margin and/or cash management purposes, the Funds may invest in money market mutual funds and/or Money Market ETFs, including those advised by ProShare Advisors LLC (“ProShare Advisors”) or another affiliate of the Sponsor. The Sponsor has agreed to assume all the management fees associated with each Fund’s investment in the affiliated Money Market ETF.
Effective immediately, the following is added to the section titled “Net Asset Value (“NAV”)”:
The Funds may use a variety of money market instruments to invest excess cash, including affiliated Money Market Mutual Funds and/or Money Market ETFs. Money market instruments used in this capacity generally will be valued using market prices or at amortized cost.
Effective immediately, the following is added to the section titled “Risk Factors”:
Conflicts of Interest – Sponsor. Investing in affiliated money market funds may present potential conflicts of interest, such as decisions that could favor the Sponsor, the affiliated Money Market ETF or its advisor over the Funds. Although the Sponsor has agreed to assume the management fees associated with each Fund’s investment in the affiliated Money Market ETF this may not eliminate all such conflicts. However, the Sponsor believes that the benefits and efficiencies of making investments in affiliated Money Market ETFs outweigh resulting conflicts of interest.
