NEW YORK -- (Business Wire)

BNY Mellon ETF Investment Adviser, LLC today announced that five of their ETFs will undergo forward share splits at a ratio of 3-for-1. A forward share split increases an ETF's number of shares outstanding while decreasing its Net Asset Value ("NAV") per share accordingly. The total value of a shareholder's investment will remain unchanged.

The share splits will apply to shareholders of record as of the close of US markets on July 16, 2026 ("Record Date") and will be payable after the close of business on July 17, 2026, as follows:

As a result of the share split, shareholders will receive three shares for each ETF share held as indicated in the table above. Shares of each ETF will begin trading at their post-split price on Monday, July 20, 2026 ("Ex-Date"). A shareholder's total investment value will not be affected by the share split. However, on Ex-Date, the per share NAV and opening market price of each ETF will be approximately one-third of its pre-split value.

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of a fund carefully before investing.

Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, including possible loss of principal. The risks of investing in an ETF typically reflect the risks associated with the types of instruments in which the ETF invests. Diversification cannot assure a profit or protect against loss.

ETF shares are listed on an exchange, and shares are generally purchased and sold in the secondary market at market price. At times, the market price may be at a premium or discount to the ETF's per share NAV. In addition, ETFs are subject to the risk that an active trading market for an ETF's shares may not develop or be maintained. Buying or selling ETF shares on an exchange may require the payment of brokerage commissions.

ETFs issue (or redeem) fund shares to certain institutional investors known as "Authorized Participants" (typically market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of fund shares known as "Creation Units." BNY Mellon Securities Corporation ("BNYSC"), a subsidiary of BNY, serves as distributor of the fund. BNYSC does not distribute fund shares in less than Creation Units, nor does it maintain a secondary market in fund shares. BNYSC may enter into selected agreements with Authorized Participants for the sale of Creation Units of fund shares.
