Supplement dated March 25, 2022 (the Supplement) to the
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (SAI)
for each of the funds listed in Appendix A (each, a Fund)
The information in this Supplement updates information in, and should be read in conjunction with, each Funds Prospectus and SAI, as applicable, for each Fund.
The following changes are expected to take place on or around April 25, 2022.
Change in each Funds Conflicts of Interest section of the Prospectus
The section of each Prospectus entitled Conflicts of Interest for each Fund is amended to add the following paragraph after the fifth paragraph:
Under an ETF Services Agreement, the Fund has retained BlackRock Investments, LLC (the Distributor or BRIL), an Affiliate of BFA, to perform certain order processing, Authorized Participant communications, and related services in connection with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units of the Fund (ETF Services). BRIL will retain a portion of the standard transaction fee received from Authorized Participants on each creation or redemption order from the Authorized Participant for the ETF Services provided. BlackRock collaborated with, and received payment from, Citibank, N.A. (Citibank) on the design and development of the ETF Services platform. Citibank may have, or from time to time may develop, additional relationships with BlackRock or funds managed by BFA and its affiliates.
Change in Creation and Redemption of Creation Units section of the SAI
The section of the SAI entitled Costs Associated with Creation Transactions for each Fund is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following, although each SAI will reflect a Standard Creation Transaction Fee chart only for the SAIs applicable Funds:
Costs Associated with Creation Transactions. A standard creation transaction fee is imposed to offset the transfer and other transaction
costs associated with the issuance of Creation Units. Under an ETF Services Agreement, the Funds have retained BRIL, an affiliate of BFA, to perform certain order processing, Authorized Participant communications, and related services in connection with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units of the Funds (ETF Services). BRIL will receive from an Authorized Participant a standard transaction fee on each creation order, which consists of (1) a fee for providing the ETF Services (the ETF Servicing Fee) and (2) transfer, processing and other transaction costs charged by a Fund custodian in connection with the issuance of Creation Units for such creation order (Custody Transaction Costs). BRIL is entitled to retain the ETF Servicing Fee pursuant to the ETF Services Agreement, but BRIL will reimburse any Custody Transaction Costs to the applicable Fund custodian according to the amounts invoiced by such custodian.
The ETF Servicing Fee is a flat fee per order regardless of the number of Creation Units being purchased, which amount will vary among different Funds based on a number of factors, including the complexity of the order and the types of securities or instruments included in a Funds Creation Basket, among other variables. The actual Custody Transaction Costs vary per order based on the number of trades, underlying markets and settlement locations associated with the issuance of a Creation Unit. The following table sets forth each applicable Funds standard creation transaction fee that would have been charged as of March 18, 2022, although the actual fee charged to an Authorized Participant in connection with a creation order will vary depending on the factors discussed above, and may be higher than the fee set forth below.
If a purchase consists solely or partially of cash, the Authorized Participant may also be required to cover (up to the maximum amount shown below) certain brokerage, tax, foreign exchange, execution, price movement and other costs and expenses related to the execution of trades resulting from such transaction (which may, in certain instances, be based on a good faith estimate of transaction costs). Authorized Participants will also bear the costs of transferring the Deposit Securities to the Funds. Certain fees/costs associated with creation transactions may be waived in certain circumstances. Investors who use the services of a broker or other financial intermediary to acquire Fund shares may be charged a fee for such services.
The following table sets forth each applicable Funds standard creation transaction fee that would have been charged as of March 18, 2022 and maximum additional charge (as described above):

The section of the SAI entitled Costs Associated with Redemption Transactions for each Fund is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following, although each SAI will reflect a Standard Redemption Transaction Fee chart only for the SAIs applicable Funds:
Costs Associated with Redemption Transactions. A standard redemption transaction fee is imposed to offset transfer and other transaction costs that may be incurred by the relevant Fund. As described above, under an ETF Services Agreement, the Funds have retained BRIL, an affiliate of BFA, to perform certain ETF Services. BRIL will receive from an Authorized Participant a standard transaction fee on each redemption order, which consists of (1) the ETF Servicing Fee and (2) Custody Transaction Costs.

If a redemption consists solely or partially of cash, the Authorized Participant may also be required to cover (up to the maximum amount shown below) certain brokerage, tax, foreign exchange, execution, price movement and other costs and expenses related to the execution of trades resulting from such transaction (which may, in certain instances, be based on a good faith estimate of transaction costs). Authorized Participants will also bear the costs of transferring the Fund Securities from a Fund to their account on their order. Certain fees/costs associated with redemption transactions may be waived in certain circumstances. Investors who use the services of a broker or other financial intermediary to dispose of Fund shares may be charged a fee for such services.

Change in each Funds Potential Conflicts of Interest section of the SAI
After the paragraph stating that BlackRock may not serve as an Authorized Participant in the creation and redemption of iShares ETFs in the section of the SAI entitled Potential Conflicts of Interest, the following paragraph is inserted for each Fund:
Under an ETF Services Agreement, certain Funds have retained BlackRock Investments, LLC, an Affiliate of BFA, to perform certain order processing, Authorized Participant communications, and related services in connection with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units of the Funds (ETF Services). BRIL will retain a portion of the standard transaction fee received from Authorized Participants on each creation or redemption order from the Authorized Participant for the ETF Services provided. BlackRock collaborated with, and received payment from, Citibank, N.A. (Citibank) on the design and development of the ETF Services platform. Citibank may have, or from time to time may develop, additional relationships with BlackRock or funds managed by BFA and its affiliates.
