On April 21, 2026, Vanguard will execute forward share splits for five of its equity index ETFs. These splits are designed to keep share prices accessible and support efficient trading for all investors. 

This action is part of Vanguard’s ongoing review of its ETF lineup to ensure optimal investor outcomes. Share splits do not impact the overall market value of your investment and do not trigger any tax consequences. Your economic position will remain unchanged—only the number of shares you own and the price per share will be adjusted.

The following ETFs are included in this split:

  • Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG) – 6:1 split
  • Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF (MGK) – 5:1 split
  • Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF (VOOG– 6:1 split
  • Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF (VO) – 4:1 split
  • Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) – 8:1 split

 Key Dates to Note:

  • Record Date: April 17, 2026
  • Payable Date: April 20, 2026 (after market close)
  • Effective Date (new price begins trading): April 21, 2026

If you hold any of these ETFs, your shares will automatically be adjusted based on the split ratio. No action is required on your part.

As always, Vanguard remains committed to putting investors first—ensuring fairness, transparency, and long-term success.

Notes: The sale of the VUG, MGK, VOOG, VO, and VGT qualifies as a private placement pursuant to section 2 of Uruguayan law 18.627. Vanguard represents and agrees that it has not offered or sold, and will not offer or sell, any VUG, MGK, VOOG, VO, and VGT to the public in Uruguay, except in circumstances which do not constitute a public offering or distribution under Uruguayan laws and regulations. Neither the VUG, MGK, VOOG, VO, and VGT nor issuer are or will be registered with the Super intendency of Financial Services of the Central Bank of Uruguay to be publicly offered in Uruguay.

The VUG, MGK, VOOG, VO, and VGT correspond to investment funds that are not investment funds regulated by Uruguayan law 16,774 dated 27 September 1996, as amended.
