Distribution Timetable and Key Dates

The filing outlines the distribution timetable applicable to all six funds. The estimated distribution was first announced on 25 September 2026, with the ex-date set for 28 September 2026. The confirmed distribution announcement is expected on 30 September 2026, which also serves as the record date. Unitholders must be registered holders of an Australian iShares ETF to which a distribution is payable as of the record date in order to receive a distribution. The payment date is confirmed as 9 October 2026, with unitholders required to have provided bank account details to the share registrar before the record date to ensure prompt receipt.

Unitholder Requirements for Distribution Receipt

The filing states that investors holding units as of the record date must have provided their bank account details to the share registrar before that date to ensure prompt receipt of the distribution payment. The filing also notes that the Australian Government participates in an automatic exchange of information protocol under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and the Common Reporting Standard (CRS), requiring BlackRock to source details of US person status and tax residency from investors. The filing advises that failure to complete tax residency certification may result in investor information being reported to the Australian Taxation Office and potentially shared with foreign tax authorities.
