8 Reverse Splits
Direxion will execute a 1-for-10 reverse split of the shares of the Direxion Daily Brazil Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily FTSE China Bear 3X Shares, and Direxion Daily Natural Gas Related Bull 3X Shares, effective at the open of the market on May 20, 2015. The firm will also execute a 1-for-4 reverse split of the Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Latin America Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Russia Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares, and Direxion Daily Technology Bear 3X Shares, effective at the open of the market on May 20, 2015.

A summary of the eight ETFs undergoing reverse splits is as follows (please note the CUSIP changes, effective May 20, 2015):

As a result of this reverse split, every 10 or four shares of a Fund will be exchanged for one share as indicated in the table above. Accordingly, the total number of the issued and outstanding shares for the Funds will decrease by the approximate percentage indicated above.  In addition, the per-share net asset value ("NAV") and next day's opening market price will be approximately 10- or four-times higher for the Funds. Shares of the Funds will begin trading on 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 outstanding shares, and thus a shareholder's investment value, will not be affected by the reverse split. The tables below illustrate the effect of a hypothetical 1-for-10 and 1-for-4 reverse split anticipated for the Funds, as applicable and described above:

11 Forward Splits
Additionally, Direxion will execute forward splits of the shares of the Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily India Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Healthcare Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Retail Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Financial Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Technology Bull 3X Shares, Direxion Daily S&P 500® Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Mid Cap Bull 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Small Cap Bull 2X Shares, and Direxion Daily 7-10 Year Treasury Bull 2X Shares.

After the close of the markets on May 19, 2015 (the "Payable Date"), each Fund will affect a split of each Fund's issued and outstanding shares as follows:

As a result of these share splits, shareholders of each Fund will receive an additional four or two shares for each share held of the applicable Fund as indicated in the table above.  Accordingly, the number of each Fund's issued and outstanding shares will increase by approximately 400% or 200% as indicated above. 

All forward share splits will apply to shareholders of record as of the close of the NYSE Arca on May 18, 2015 (the "Record Date"), payable after the close of the NYSE Arca on May 19, 2015 (the "Payable Date").  Shares of the Funds will 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's issued and outstanding shares, and thus a shareholder's investment value, will not be affected by the share split. However, the per-share NAV and opening market price on the Ex-Date will be approximately one-fourth and one-half for the Funds. The tables below illustrate the effect of a hypothetical four-for-one and two-for-one share split on a shareholder's investment.

The Trust's transfer agent will notify the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") of the reverse and forward splits and instruct the DTC to adjust each shareholder's investment(s) accordingly.  DTC is the registered owner of the Funds' shares and maintains a record of the Funds' record owners.

Redemption of Fractional Shares and Tax Consequences for Each Reverse and Forward Split
As a result of the reverse or forward split, a shareholder of a Fund's shares could potentially hold a fractional share. However, fractional shares cannot trade on the NYSE Arca. Thus, a Fund will redeem for cash a shareholder's fractional shares at the Fund's split-adjusted NAV as of the Record Date. Such redemption may have tax implications for those shareholders and a shareholder could recognize a gain or loss in connection with the redemption of the shareholder's fractional shares. Otherwise, the reverse or forward split will not result in a taxable transaction for holders of Fund shares. No transaction fee will be imposed on shareholders for such redemption.

"Odd Lot" Unit
Also as a result of the reverse or forward split, the Funds will have outstanding one aggregation of less than 50,000 shares to make a creation unit, or an "odd lot unit." Thus, the Funds will provide one authorized participant with a one-time opportunity to redeem the odd lot unit at the split-adjusted NAV or the NAV on such date the authorized participant seeks to redeem the odd lot unit.

The use of derivatives such as futures contracts, forward contracts, options and swaps are subject to market risks that may cause their price to fluctuate over time. The Fund does not attempt to, and should not be expected to; provide returns which are a multiple of the return of the Index for periods other than a single day. For other risks including leverage, correlation, compounding, market volatility and specific risks regarding each sector, please read the prospectus.
