NEW
YORK, April 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Roundhill
Investments has announced it will execute a reverse split of
the issued and outstanding shares of the Roundhill Cannabis ETF
(Cboe BZX: WEED) and the Roundhill MEME ETF (NYSE Arca:
MEME). The total market value of the shares outstanding will
not be affected because of this split, except with respect to the
redemption of fractional shares, as outlined below.
After the close of the markets on April
28, 2023, the Funds will affect a reverse split of their
issued and outstanding shares as follows:

As a result of the reverse split, every five shares of the Fund
will be exchanged for one share as indicated in the table above. In
addition, the per share net asset value ("NAV") and next day's
opening market price will be approximately five times higher for
the Funds. Shares of the Funds will begin trading on their
respective exchanges on a split-adjusted basis on May 1, 2023.
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 table below illustrates
the effect of a hypothetical one-for-five reverse split anticipated
for the Funds as described above:

Redemption of Fractional Shares and Tax Consequences of the
Reverse Split
As a result of the reverse split, a shareholder of the Funds'
shares potentially could hold a fractional share. However,
fractional shares cannot trade on the Funds' respective exchanges.
Thus, the Fund will redeem for cash a shareholder's fractional
shares at the Fund's split-adjusted NAV after the close of the
markets on April 28, 2023. 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 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 split, the Funds may have
outstanding one aggregation of less shares required 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. An
authorized participant is a capital market's facilitator of the ETF
creation and redemption process.
The Listed Funds Trust's transfer agent will notify the
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") of the reverse split and instruct
DTC to adjust each shareholder's investment(s) accordingly. DTC is
the registered owner of the Fund's shares and maintains a record of
the Fund's record owners.
