Dear Investor:
You can STOP further solicitation mailings and phone calls. We recently sent you proxy materials regarding the upcoming reconvened Special Meeting of Shareholders of BlackRock Small Cap Growth Fund II (the Fund), scheduled to be held on November 27, 2017 (the Meeting). Our records indicate that we have not received your voting instructions on the important proposal to be presented at this Meeting. Please take a moment now to cast your vote so that your shares may be represented. For your convenience, another copy of your proxy card/voting instruction form has been enclosed.
Your vote participation is critical to the outcome of this Meeting. Mutual fund regulations require a certain level of shareholder participation and, as one of our valued shareholders, your participation in the voting process to approve the proposed reorganization is still needed. After careful review, the Funds Board approved the proposal detailed in your proxy materials and is recommending that shareholders vote FOR the proposal.
We greatly appreciate your time and your investment in the BlackRock Mutual Funds.
Sincerely,
/s/ John Perlowski
John Perlowski
President and CEO of the BlackRock Mutual Funds
