CORRECTING and REPLACING VanEck Announces Stock Split for its Semiconductor ETF

Second paragraph, first sentence of the release, dated April, 14th, 2023, should read: The effective date of the split will be at market open on May 5, 2023 (instead of: The effective date of the split will be at market open on May 4, 2023). In addition, a second table has been added below the first table.

The updated release reads:

VANECK ANNOUNCES STOCK SPLIT FOR ITS SEMICONDUCTOR ETF

VanEck is pleased to announce that the Board of Trustees of VanEck Trust approved a 2-for-1 forward stock split for the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ: SMH) (“the Fund”).

The effective date of the split will be at market open on May 5, 2023. The Fund will retain the same CUSIP and continue to trade on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. under the same ticker symbol as set forth below. All investors owning shares of the Fund as of the close of trading on May 3, 2023 will have their shares included in the stock split. Shares are expected to start trading at the new split-adjusted price beginning May 4. Importantly, forward share splits have no impact on the market value of an investor's holdings of the ETF nor do they trigger any tax consequences. There will be no impact on the overall value of the ETF. The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), the registered owner of all Fund shares, has been notified of the split and has been instructed to adjust each shareholder’s investment accordingly.

About VanEck

VanEck has a history of looking beyond the financial markets to identify trends that are likely to create impactful investment opportunities. We were one of the first U.S. asset managers to offer investors access to international markets. This set the tone for the firm’s drive to identify asset classes and trends – including gold investing in 1968, emerging markets in 1993, and exchange traded funds in 2006 – that subsequently shaped the investment management industry.

Today, VanEck offers active and passive strategies with compelling exposures supported by well-designed investment processes. As of March 31, 2022, VanEck managed approximately $76.4 billion in assets, including mutual funds, ETFs and institutional accounts. The firm’s capabilities range from core investment opportunities to more specialized exposures to enhance portfolio diversification. Our actively managed strategies are fueled by in-depth, bottom-up research and security selection from portfolio managers with direct experience in the sectors and regions in which they invest. Investability, liquidity, diversity, and transparency are key to the experienced decision-making around market and index selection underlying VanEck’s passive strategies.

Since our founding in 1955, putting our clients’ interests first, in all market environments, has been at the heart of the firm’s mission.
