Right of Accumulation (Investor A Shares)

Investors may include the current value of their existing Institutional and Investor A1, B1, B2, C1 and C2 (in addition to existing Investor A, B and C) Shares of most funds in determining whether they qualify for a breakpoint and a reduced front-end sales charge. Service Organizations may value current holdings of their customers differently for purposes of determining whether an investor qualifies for a breakpoint and a reduced front-end sales charge, although customers of the same Service Organization will be treated similarly.

Letter of Intent (Investor A Shares)

This section will be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

An investor may qualify for a reduced front-end sales charge immediately by signing a “Letter of Intent” stating the investor’s intention to buy a specified amount of Investor A, B, C or Institutional Shares in one or more funds within the next 13 months that would, if bought all at once, qualify the investor for a reduced sales charge. The initial investment must meet the minimum initial purchase requirement. The 13-month Letter of Intent period commences on the day that the Letter of Intent is received by PFPC, and the investor must tell PFPC that later purchases are subject to the Letter of Intent. During the term of the Letter of Intent, PFPC will hold Investor A Shares representing up to 5% of the indicated amount in an escrow account for payment of a higher sales load if the full amount indicated in the Letter of Intent is not purchased. If the full amount indicated is not purchased within the 13-month period, and the investor does not pay the higher sales load within 20 days, PFPC will redeem enough of the Investor A Shares held in escrow to pay the difference.

Reinstatement Privilege (Investor Shares)

This section will be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

Upon redemption of Institutional and Investor A, A1, B, B1, B2, C, C1 and C2 Shares, shareholders may reinvest their redemption proceeds (after paying any applicable CDSC or redemption/exchange fee) in Investor A Shares of the SAME fund without paying a front-end sales charge. This right may be exercised once a year and within 60 days of the redemption, provided that the Investor A Share class of that fund is currently open to new investors or the shareholder has a current account in that closed fund. Shares will be purchased at the NAV calculated at the close of trading on the day the request is received. To exercise this privilege, PFPC must receive written notification from the shareholder of record or the registered representative of record, at the time of purchase. Investors should consult a tax adviser concerning the tax consequences of exercising this reinstatement privilege.

Waiving the Sales Charge (Investor A Shares)

This section will be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

The following investors may buy Investor A Shares without paying a front-end sales charge: (a) authorized qualified employee benefit plans or savings plans and rollovers of current investments in the Fund through such plans; (b) persons investing through an authorized payroll deduction plan; (c) persons investing through an authorized investment plan for organizations which operate under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; (d) registered investment advisers, trust companies and bank trust departments exercising discretionary investment authority with respect to amounts to be invested in a fund; (e) persons participating in selected fee-based programs under which they (i) pay advisory fees to a broker-dealer or other financial institution or (ii) pay fees to a broker-dealer or other financial institution for providing transaction processing and other administrative services, but not investment advisory services; and (f) employees of MetLife. Investors who qualify for any of these exemptions from the sales charge must purchase Investor A Shares. Additionally, some people associated with the Fund and its service providers may buy Investor A Shares without paying a sales charge. The front-end sales charge is not applied on Investor A Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends or distributions. There is no initial sales charge on purchases of $1,000,000 or more of Investor A Shares; however, you may pay a CDSC as described in “Purchase of Investor A Shares.” The applicable CDSC on Investor A Shares is not charged in connection with: (a) redemptions of Investor A Shares purchased through authorized qualified employee benefit plans or savings plans and rollovers of current investments in the Fund through such plans; (b) exchanges described in “Exchange Privilege” below; (c) redemptions made in connection with minimum required distributions due to the shareholder reaching age 70¹/2 from IRA and 403(b)(7) accounts; (d) redemptions made with respect to certain retirement plans sponsored by the Fund, BlackRock or its affiliates; (e) redemptions (i) within one year of a shareholder’s death or, if later, the receipt of a certified probate settlement (including in connection with the distribution of account assets to a beneficiary of the decedent) or (ii) in connection with a shareholder’s disability (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) subsequent to the

purchase of Investor A Shares; (f) involuntary redemptions of Investor A Shares in accounts with low balances; (g) certain redemptions made pursuant to the Systematic Withdrawal Plan (described below); (h) redemptions related to the payment of PFPC custodial IRA fees; and (i) redemptions when a shareholder can demonstrate hardship, in the absolute discretion of the Fund. For more information on the waivers, please contact the Fund at (800) 441-7762 or see the SAI.

Waiving the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (Investor B and Investor C Shares)

This section will be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

The CDSC on Investor B and C Shares is not charged in connection with: (a) redemptions of Investor B and C Shares purchased through authorized qualified employee benefit plans or savings plans and rollovers of current investments in the Fund through such plans; (b) exchanges described in “Exchange Privilege” below; (c) redemptions made in connection with minimum required distributions due to the shareholder reaching age 70¹/2 from IRA and 403(b)(7) accounts; (d) redemptions made with respect to certain retirement plans sponsored by the Fund, BlackRock or its affiliates; (e) redemptions (i) within one year of a shareholder’s death or, if later, the receipt of a certified probate settlement (including in connection with the distribution of account assets to a beneficiary of the decedent) or (ii) in connection with a shareholder’s disability (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) subsequent to the purchase of Investor B or C Shares; (f) involuntary redemptions of Investor B and C Shares in accounts with low balances; (g) certain redemptions made pursuant to the Systematic Withdrawal Plan (described below); (h) redemptions related to the payment of PFPC custodial IRA fees; and (i) redemptions when a shareholder can demonstrate hardship, in the absolute discretion of the Fund. No CDSC is charged on Investor B and C Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends or distributions. For more information on these waivers, please contact the Fund at (800) 441-7762 or see the SAI.

Distribution and Service Plan

The .10% distribution fee on Investor A Shares will be eliminated. Net expenses will remain capped at the levels, and for the time periods, shown in the funds’ expense tables. Because the distribution fee on Investor A Shares currently is being waived, there will be no reduction to net expenses (after waivers and expense reimbursements) due to the elimination of this fee.

In addition, this section is amended to reflect the fact that payments under the Plan may be made to Merrill Lynch and its affiliates.

Market Timing and Redemption/Exchange Fees

The 2% redemption/exchange fee on the Investment Trust, Large Cap Value Equity, Large Cap Growth Equity, Dividend Achievers^™, Legacy, Mid-Cap Value Equity, Mid-Cap Growth Equity, Asset Allocation and Index Equity Portfolios will be eliminated. In addition, the holding period applicable to the redemption/exchange fee for the Aurora, Small/Mid-Cap Growth, Small Cap Value Equity, Small Cap Core Equity, Small Cap Growth Equity, Health Sciences Opportunities, Global Science & Technology Opportunities, Global Resources, All-Cap Global Resources, U.S. Opportunities, Global Opportunities and International Opportunities Portfolios will be reduced from 90 days to 30 days.

In addition to existing exemptions, from time to time, with the approval of the Fund, the redemption/exchange fee will not be assessed on redemptions or exchanges by shareholders redeeming or exchanging shares in connection with distributions from a 529 plan.

The Fund may from time to time use other methods that it believes are appropriate to deter market timing or other trading activity that may be detrimental to a fund or long-term shareholders.

Accounts with Low Balances (Investor Shares)

This section will be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

The Fund may redeem a shareholder’s account in any fund at any time if the net asset value of the account in such fund falls below $500 as the result of a redemption or an exchange request. This minimum does not apply to accounts of authorized qualified employee benefit plans, selected fee-based programs or accounts established under the Uniform Gifts to Minors or Uniform Transfers to Minors Acts. The shareholder will be notified in writing that the value of the account is less than the required amount and the shareholder will be allowed 60 days to make additional investments before the redemption is processed.

Accounts with Low Balances (Service, Institutional and BlackRock Shares)

This section will be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

The Fund may redeem a shareholder’s account in any fund at any time if the net asset value of the account in such fund falls below the required minimum initial investment as the result of a redemption or an exchange request. The shareholder will be notified in writing that the value of the account is less than the required amount and the shareholder will be allowed 60 days to make additional investments before the redemption is processed.

Management

It is expected that not later than the closing of the Transaction, BlackRock Advisors, Inc. will be converted into a Delaware limited liability company and re-named BlackRock Advisors, LLC. Therefore, upon such conversion, all references to BlackRock shall be to BlackRock Advisors, LLC.

Effective upon the closing of the Transaction, BlackRock, Inc. will be an affiliate of Merrill Lynch and The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.

Services for Shareholders

Exchange Privilege (Investor and Institutional Shares)

This section will be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

Once you are a holder of Investor or Institutional Shares, you have the right to exchange Investor A, B, C or Institutional Shares from one fund to Investor A, B, C or Institutional Shares, respectively, of another to meet your changing financial needs. Please note that you can exchange only into a share class and fund that are open to new investors, unless you have a current account in a fund that is closed to new investors.

You can exchange $1,000 or more of Investor A, Investor B or Investor C Shares from one fund into another. (You can exchange less than $1,000 of Investor A, Investor B or Investor C Shares if you already have an account in the fund into which you are exchanging.) There is no required minimum amount with respect to exchanges of Institutional Shares. Investor A, Investor B, Investor C and Institutional Shares of each fund may be exchanged for shares of the same class of other funds which offer that class of shares, based on their respective net asset values. For Federal income tax purposes a share exchange is a taxable event and a capital gain or loss may be realized. Please consult your tax or other financial adviser before making an exchange request.

The exchange of Investor B and Investor C Shares will not be subject to a CDSC although exchanges may be subject to the 2% redemption/exchange fee. See “Market Timing and Redemption/Exchange Fees” above. The CDSC will continue to be measured from the date of the original purchase and will not be affected by the exchange.

Investors who currently own Institutional Shares of a fund may make exchanges into Institutional Shares of other funds except for investors holding shares through certain client accounts at financial intermediaries that are omnibus with the Fund and do not meet applicable minimums.

There are several ways to make an exchange: you may call the Fund at (800) 441-7762 and speak with one of our representatives, make the exchange via the Internet by accessing your account online, or you may send a written request to us at BlackRock Funds c/o PFPC Inc., P.O. Box 9819, Providence, RI 02940-8019. Please note, if you indicated on your New Account Application that you did not want the Telephone Exchange Privilege, you will not be able to place exchanges via the telephone until you update this option either in writing or by calling our Service Center. The Fund has the right to reject any telephone request.

The Fund may suspend or terminate your exchange privilege at any time, including if the Fund believes, in its sole discretion, that you are engaging in market timing activities. See “Market Timing and Redemption/Exchange Fees” above.

The Fund reserves the right to modify, limit the use of, or terminate the exchange privilege at any time for any reason.

Dividend Allocation Plan (Investor Shares)

This section will be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

This plan automatically invests your distributions from one fund into another fund of your choice pursuant to your instructions, without any fees or sales charges. Please call the Fund at (800) 441-7762 for details. The fund into which you request your distributions be invested must be open to new purchases.
