ETF Shareholders to Receive Payout in
April
BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:BLK) announced today that two iShares
iBonds® ETFs Mar 2016 Corporate ex-Financials ETF (NYSE:IBCB) and
Mar 2016 Corporate ETF (NYSE:IBDA) will, by design, cease trading
at the closure of U.S. market hours on March 29, 2016.
Leading up to the final distribution date, the individual bonds
in the ETFs mature and the funds transition into short-term taxable
instruments and cash. Remaining shareholders can expect to receive
the entire amount of their proceeds in cash on or after April 4,
2016, subject to their brokerage processes.
IBCB and IBDA will be the fifth and sixth of the iShares iBonds®
series to have their underlying holdings mature, and will also be
the first and second corporate iBonds ETFs maturing. The first in
the series, the iShares 2012 S&P AMT-Free Municipal Series ETF
closed in August 2012. There are seven additional iShares ETFs in
the Municipal series with end dates ranging from 2016 to 2022.
There are 16 additional iShares ETFs in the Corporate series with
end dates ranging from 2016 to 2025.
iShares iBonds® Corporate Bond ETFs are designed to offer
investors exposure to investment grade corporate bonds with
potential benefits of both ETFs and bonds. Each fund contains a
diversified set of securities and seeks to track a Barclays
Maturity Corporate Index, and can be bought and sold daily on an
exchange. Like a bond, each fund has periodic distributions of
income and a pre-determined date when the fund will close and
distribute proceeds to shareholders.

Carefully consider the iShares Funds’ investment objectives,
risk factors, and charges and expenses before investing. This and
other information can be found in the Funds’ prospectuses and, if
available, summary prospectuses, which may be obtained by calling
1-800-iShares (1-800-474-2737) or by visiting
www.iShares.com. Read the prospectus carefully before
investing.
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of
principal.
Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk.
Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding
decline in bond values. Credit risk refers to the possibility that
the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest
payments.
The iShares® iBonds® ETFs (“Funds”) will terminate on or about
March 31 or December 31 of the year in each Fund’s name. An
investment in the Fund(s) is not guaranteed, and an investor may
experience losses, including near or at the termination date.
Unlike a direct investment in a bond that has a level coupon
payment and a fixed payment at maturity, the Fund(s) will make
distributions of income that vary over time. In the final months of
each Fund’s operation, as the bonds it holds mature, its portfolio
will transition to cash and cash-like instruments. As a result, its
yield will tend to move toward prevailing money market rates, and
may be lower than the yields of the bonds previously held by the
Fund and lower than prevailing yields in the bond market.
Following the Fund’s termination date, the Fund will distribute
substantially all of its net assets, after deduction of any
liabilities, to then-current investors without further notice and
will no longer be listed or traded. The Funds’ distributions and
liquidation proceeds are not predictable at the time of investment
and the Funds do not seek to return any predetermined amount.
The rate of Fund distribution payments may adversely affect the
tax characterization of an investor’s returns from an investment in
the Fund relative to a direct investment in bonds. If the amount an
investor receives as liquidation proceeds upon the Fund’s
termination is higher or lower than the investor’s cost basis, the
investor may experience a gain or loss for tax purposes.
The iShares Funds are distributed by BlackRock Investments, LLC
(together with its affiliates, “BlackRock”).
The iShares Funds are not sponsored, endorsed, issued, sold or
promoted by MSCI Inc., nor does this company make any
representation regarding the advisability of investing in the
Funds. BlackRock is not affiliated with MSCI Inc.
