NEOS Enhanced Income Credit Select ETF (HYBI)
A series of NEOS ETF Trust
Supplement dated December 16, 2024, to the Prospectus and Summary Prospectus dated July 22, 2024 (as amended September 20, 2024)
The Board of Trustees of NEOS ETF Trust (the "Trust") has approved a reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares of the NEOS Enhanced Income Credit Select ETF (HYBI). After the close of trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the exchange where HYBI shares trade) on December 26, 2024, HYBI will affect a reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares as follows:
Reverse Split Ratio | Exchange | Approximate decrease in total number of shares outstanding |
1-for-5 | The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC | 80% |
Shares of HYBI will begin trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC exchange on a split-adjusted basis on Friday, December 27, 2024. The Trust's transfer agent will notify the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") of the reverse split and instruct DTC to adjust each shareholder's investment accordingly. DTC is the registered owner of the HYBI's shares and maintains a record of the HYBI's record owners.
As a result of the reverse split, every five shares of HYBI will be exchanged for one share of HYBI. Accordingly, the total number of issued and outstanding shares of HYBI 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 increase by approximately 5 times for HYBI. The reverse split will not change the total value of a shareholder's investment, except with respect to the redemption of fractional shares as described below. The table below provides a simplified illustration of the effect of a hypothetical 1-for-5 reverse split (actual NAV, shares and total market value may vary):
1-for-5 Reverse Split
Period | # of Shares Owned | Hypothetical NAV Per Share |
Total Market Value |
Pre-reverse split | 50 | $0.10 | $5.00 |
Post-reverse split | 10 | $0.50 | $5.00 |
Redemption of Fractional Shares and Tax Consequences for the Reverse Split
As a result of the reverse split, a shareholder potentially could hold a fractional share of HYBI. However, fractional shares cannot trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. A shareholder's proportional fractional shares will be redeemed for cash and paid to the shareholder's brokerage account of record. However, depending on the policies of a shareholder's broker, shareholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares may instead receive an amount of cash equivalent to the value of a fraction of one share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled. Please consult your broker about its policies regarding fractional shares. 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 split will not result in a taxable transaction for HYBI shareholders. No transaction fee will be imposed on shareholders for such redemption.
