Redemption of Fractional Shares and Tax Consequences for
Each Reverse Split
As a result of the reverse splits, a shareholder of the ETF
could potentially hold a fractional share. However, fractional
shares cannot trade on NYSE Arca. Thus, each ETF will redeem for
cash a shareholders' fractional shares at the Fund's split-adjusted
NAV. Such redemptions could cause a shareholder to realize a gain
or loss. Otherwise, the reverse splits will not result in a taxable
transaction for holders of ETF shares. Global X Management Company
LLC does not impose a transaction fee on shareholders for such
redemptions.
Brokerage Charges
Some brokerage charges may apply as a result of the reverse
split. These charges are made directly by the broker and are not
charges from Global X Management Company LLC.

Disclosures:
Investing involves risk, including the possible
loss of principal. Investments in securities of MLPs involve risk
that differ from investments in common stock including risks
related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters
affecting the MLP. The funds are non-diversified.
International investments may involve risk of
capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from
differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from
economic or political instability in other nations. Securities
focusing on a single country maybe subject to higher volatility.
Investments in small and mid-capitalization companies pose greater
risks than large companies. Certain economies in the Middle East
depend to a significant degree upon exports of primary commodities
such as oil.
Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market
price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund.
Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Global X NAVs are
calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The closing
price is the Mid-Point between the Bid and Ask price as of the
close of exchange. Closing price returns do not represent the
returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.
Carefully consider the Fund’s investment
objectives, risks, and charges and expenses before investing. This
