The distributions are for the reinvested distributions, which are typically reinvested in additional units of the respective funds, and do not include ongoing semi-annual cash distribution amounts.

Partial Waiver of Annual Management Fee Payable by iShares MSCI Min Vol Emerging Markets Index ETF (XMM)

BlackRock Canada today also announces that it has agreed to extend a partial waiver of the annual management fee that would otherwise be payable by iShares MSCI Min Vol Emerging Markets Index ETF (the Waiver). After giving effect to the Waiver, BlackRock Canada is entitled to receive an annual management fee from XMM equal to 0.40% of the net asset value of XMM. The Waiver will expire on December 20, 2024. BlackRock Canada may discontinue, amend or extend the Waiver at any time without giving notice to (other than by press release) or seeking approval from unitholders of XMM.

Without the Waiver, XMM's annual management fee would be 0.79% of the fund's net asset value. Further information relating to XMM is included in the prospectus for XMM dated June 29, 2023, and will be available at http://www.blackrock.com/ca.
