GREENWICH, Conn., Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Due to their inability to attract sufficient investment assets, the Board of Trustees of the Themes ETF Trust (the “Board”) has decided to liquidate and close thirteen ETFs (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Board concluded that liquidating and closing the Funds would be in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders. The Funds closing are as follows:

The Funds closing are as follows:

The Funds will cease trading on Nasdaq and Cboe as of the close of regular trading on October 19, 2026 (the “Closing Date”) and will be closed to purchases by investors at that time. The Funds will not accept creation orders after October 16, 2026.

Shareholders may sell their holdings in any Fund prior to the Closing Date, and customary brokerage charges may apply to these transactions. However, from the Closing Date through October 22, 2026 (the “Liquidation Date”), shareholders may only be able to sell their shares to certain broker-dealers, and there is no assurance that there will be a market for a Fund’s shares during this period.

As the Funds prepare for liquidation, they will increase their cash holdings and reduce exposure to their underlying investments. Consequently, each Fund will no longer pursue its stated investment objective, which is inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategy.

On or about the Liquidation Date, each Fund will liquidate its assets and distribute cash on a pro-rate basis to shareholders who have not previously redeemed or sold their shares. The amount of the liquidating distribution per share will be announced when it becomes available. These distributions are taxable events and may include accrued capital gains and dividends. As calculated on the Liquidation Date, each Fund’s net asset value will reflect the costs associated with closing the Fund. Once the distributions have been completed, the Funds will terminate.

No dividend will be paid by the Funds prior to liquidation.

DISCLOSURES

INVESTING INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK. The Funds do not invest directly in their respective underlying assets. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in a Fund.

An investor should carefully consider a Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Fund. To obtain a Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus, call 866-584-3637. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing.

Newly launched Funds have risks associated with a limited operating history.

Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time, the return of a Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from 200% of the return of the applicable underlying asset over the same period. A Fund will lose money if its underlying asset’s performance is flat over time, and because of daily rebalancing, the underlying asset’s volatility, and the effects of compounding, it is even possible that a Fund will lose money over time while its underlying asset’s performance increases over a period longer than a single day.

The Funds are not suitable for all investors. The Funds are designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The Funds are not intended to be used by, and are not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer than a single day, a Fund will lose money if its underlying asset’s performance is flat, and it is possible that a Fund will lose money even if its underlying asset’s performance increases over a period longer than a single day.

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of each Fund (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses of the Funds, except for the fee paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, interest charges on any borrowings, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, and distribution (12b-1) fees and expenses.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Investment in leveraged products may be subject to higher volatility. The Funds do not directly invest in their respective underlying assets. An investment in a Fund involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Each Fund is non-diversified and includes risks associated with concentrating its investments in a particular industry, sector, or geographic region, which can result in increased volatility. The use of derivatives such as futures contracts and swaps is subject to market risks that may cause their price to fluctuate over time. Risks of the Funds include effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk, Market Risk, Counterparty Risk, Rebalancing Risk, Intraday Investment Risk, Daily Index Correlation Risk, Other Investment Companies (including ETFs) Risk, and risks specific to each Fund’s underlying asset and the industries to which it is exposed. These and other risks can be found in the prospectus.

For periods longer than a single day, the applicable Fund will lose money if GLXY, BLSH, GEMI, NU, NEM, OPEN, PBR, VALE, ALB, UEC, FCX, CRML, or HON, as applicable, has flat performance, and it is possible that the applicable Fund will lose money even if its underlying asset increases over a period longer than a single day.

Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from a Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Market price returns are based on the official closing price of an ETF share or, if the official closing price is not available, the midpoint between the national best bid and national best offer (“NBBO”) as of the time the ETF calculates current NAV per share, and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time. Indices are unmanaged and do not include the effect of fees, expenses, or sales charges. One cannot invest directly in an index.

This information is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy shares of any Fund to any person in any jurisdiction in which an offer, solicitation, purchase, or sale would be unlawful under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
