AccuShares(R) Investment Management, LLC ("AccuShares") Announces Revised Regular and Net Income (If Applicable) Distributions, and a Corrective Distribution for Both AccuShares Spot CBOE(R) VIX(R) Up Shares and Down Shares

STAMFORD, CT --(Marketwired - July 20, 2016) - AccuShares, as sponsor of the AccuShares Trust I (formerly known as the AccuShares Commodity Trust I) (the "Trust"), today announces a Regular Distribution and, if applicable, a Net Income Distribution for AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Up Shares ( NASDAQ : VXUP ) (the "Up Shares") and Spot CBOE VIX Down Shares ( NASDAQ : VXDN ) (the "Down Shares"). AccuShares also announces a Corrective Distribution for Up Shares and Down Shares. The terms Regular Distribution, Corrective Distribution and Net Income Distribution are defined and described in the current prospectus of the AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Fund (the "Fund").

This Press Release supersedes a press release on the same subject that was issued on July 19, 2016, which announcement included incorrect Regular Distribution amount per share, post-distribution Class Value per Share and post-distribution Share Index Factor values. See "Superseded Announcement" below.

The updated, relevant distribution information is provided in the tables below:

Corrective Distribution

The Corrective Distribution will affect the class value per share of both the Up Shares and Down Shares, but it will not impact the value of a shareholder's holdings in the Fund.

More information about the Fund can be found at the Trust's website at www.accushares.com .

Superseded Announcement

On July 19, 2016, the Sponsor issued a press release regarding the Regular Distribution and Corrective Distribution that has been superseded by this Press Release. The information announced on July 19, 2016 included an incorrect calculation of Regular Distribution amount per Share, post-distribution Class Value per Share and post-distribution Share Index Factor for the Up Shares and Down Shares.

On July 20, 2016, the Sponsor identified the incorrect calculation and began measures to correct the applicable information. This included i) contacting NASDAQ to initiate a halt in trading of the Up and Down Shares, pending correction of the information, ii) correcting the information and updating the calculation of the indicative net asset value for the Up and Down Shares, and iii) updating the marketplace through publication of this Press Release.

The Regular Distribution referenced in this Press Release will be distributed on July 26 th to holders of record on July 22 nd . As a result, the incorrect calculation has not resulted in an error in distribution payments.

Although the incorrect calculation of the post-distribution Class Value per Share and the post-distribution Share Index Factor resulted in an inaccurate indicative net asset valuation for the Up Shares and the Down Shares, the end-of-day Net Asset Value publication was accurate and no share creations or redemptions were impacted by the incorrect calculation.

Investor Reassessment:

Investors wishing to maximize exposure to the index tracked by the Fund, the CBOE Volatility Index, in either direction or investors wishing to compound gains over one or more distribution dates must invest any cash distributed, and sell any shares distributed and invest the sale proceeds thereof, in the class of shares aligned with their investment objectives.

The Fund has been designed to be utilized by investors who are prepared to reassess their holding of the Fund's shares at least as frequently as each distribution date. Investors in the Fund who wish to maintain a maximum exposure, a targeted absolute exposure, or a targeted relative exposure to the Underlying Index over multiple distribution dates should reassess their positions following all cash and share distributions, and all Fund resets relating to the Share Index Factors. The Fund will not compound investor gains or otherwise rebalance investor positions to maximize investor exposure. The Fund is designed to make Regular Distributions of cash and in some cases shares to facilitate regular distribution of investor gains and to promote a deliberate and regular reassessment by investors of their investment in the Fund.

Investors who hold shares over one or more consecutive distribution dates without reassessment of their Fund share portfolio may experience decreased exposure to the Underlying Index as well as a reduced opportunity for gain and loss.
