Incorporation: The ETF is an open-end mutual fund trust established under the laws of Ontario. The ETF was created pursuant to an amended and restated master declaration of trust made as of June 17, 2009 as amended August 25, 2009 and January 28, 2010.

Manager and Trustee: BetaPro Management Inc.

Investment Manager: JovInvestment Management Inc.

Portfolio Manager: ProShares Advisors LLC

Custodian: State Street Trust Company Canada.

Fiscal Year End: December 31

Nature of Business: The ETF is designed to provide daily investment results, before fees, expenses, distributions, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs that endeavour to correspond to one times (100%) the inverse (opposite) of the daily performance of the S&P 500®. Any U.S. dollar gains or losses as a result of the ETF's investement will be hedged back to the Canadian dollar to be best of its ability.

If the ETF is successful in meeting its investment objective, its net asset value should gain approximately as much, on a percentage basis, as the S&P 500® when the index declines on a given day. Conversely, the HBP S&P 500® Inverse ETF's net asset value should lose approximately as much, on a percentage basis, as the S&P 500® when the index rises on a given day.

Transfer Agent & Registrar: Computershare Investor Services Inc. at its principal office in Toronto.

Distributions and Automatic Reinvestment: Distributions on Units of the ETF, which will automatically be reinvested in additional Units of the ETF, are expected to be made annually at the end of the year, and are expected to consist primarily of returns of capital and capital gains for income tax purposes. On an annual basis, the ETF will ensure that all of its income (including net realized capital gains) have been distributed to Unitholders of the ETF in additional Units of the ETF to such an extent that the ETF will not be liable for ordinary income tax thereon.

Distributions of the ETF are intended to benefit Unitholders since returns of capital are generally not subject to tax (but reduce the adjusted cost base of the Units) and distributions of capital gains will generally be taxed at a lower rate than distributions of interest and other ordinary income. The ETF does not have a targeted amount for any distributions and no amount of distributions is guaranteed.

As long as the Initial Forward Documents are in effect, the level of distributions paid by the ETF to its Unitholders will depend upon payments received by the ETF thereunder. If the Initial Forward Documents are terminated, the level and characterization of distributions paid by the ETF to its Unitholders will depend on the replacement investment strategy adopted by the ETF.

Initial Issuance of Units: Pursuant to the terms of the Prospectus, Units will be issued and sold on a continuous basis and there will be no minimum number of Units that may be issued. Units sold in connection with the initial public offering for the ETF will amount to 505,000 Units at a price of $10 per Unit.
