NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Murray, Frank & Sailer LLP has filed a class action complaint, in the Southern
District of New York on behalf of all individuals and institutions who purchased
shares in the UltraShort Dow 30 Fund (the "DXD Fund") offered by ProShares Trust
("ProShares"), pursuant or traceable to ProShares`s false and misleading
Registration Statement, Prospectuses, and Statements of Additional Information
(collectively, the "Registration Statement") issued in connection with shares of
the DXD Fund (the "Class"). The Class is seeking to pursue remedies under
Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"). 

The complaint names ProShares, ProShare Advisors LLC, SEI Investments
Distribution Co., Michael L. Sapir, Louis M. Mayberg, Russell S. Reynolds, III,
Michael Wachs, and Simon D. Collier, as defendants (collectively, "Defendants").
The DXD Fund is one of ProShares`s UltraShort ETFs, which ProShares claims are
designed to go up when markets go down. Specifically, the DXD Fund seeks
investment results that correspond to twice the inverse of the daily performance
of the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA"). However, although the DJIA fell
approximately 34 percent from January 2, 2008 through December 31, 2008, the DXD
Fund rose only 7 percent during this period, falling far short of ProShares`s
claims. 

The complaint alleges that Defendants violated the Securities Act by failing to
disclose that if DXD Fund shares are held for a time period longer than one day,
the performance of those shares does not track the performance of the DJIA. In
addition, the complaint alleges that if DXD Fund shares are held for a time
period longer than one day, there is a significant likelihood of catastrophic
losses. 

Murray, Frank & Sailer LLP is also investigating claims on behalf of investors
in all other ProShares leveraged funds (the "Funds"), including:
