    Preliminary Allegations

    The complaint alleges that the ProShares’ Defendants filed numerous financial reports and draft prospectuses and/or registration statements with the SEC during the Class Period that contained misstatements. Specifically, the Class Period filings failed to disclose that the Fund was certain to suffer catastrophic losses when faced with significant market turbulence as a result of the Funds flawed design and the low-volatility environment and acute liquidity risks that existed during the Class Period.
