BlackRock Announces Plans to Expand $52 Billion iShares\u00ae<\/sup> iBonds\u00ae<\/sup> ETF Franchise<\/b><\/p>\n

\nBlackRock builds on its leadership with the industry\u2019s broadest range of target maturity fixed income ETFs<\/p>\n

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nBlackRock today announced plans to expand its iShares\u00ae<\/sup> iBonds\u00ae<\/sup> ETF platform with the launch of nine funds, extending the franchise\u2019s maturity range across U.S. Treasuries, TIPS, investment grade corporates, high yield and municipal bonds. BlackRock pioneered defined maturity bond ETFs with the launch of its first iBonds ETFs in 2010.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cDesigned to mature like a bond, trade like a stock, and diversify like a fund, iBonds ETFs can make bond laddering easier and more efficient \u2014 allowing investors to build and manage ladders with just a few ETFs instead of sourcing and monitoring dozens of individual bonds,\u201d said Elise Terry, Head of U.S. iShares at BlackRock<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\nBlackRock manages $52 billion in iBonds ETFs and has launched over 120 funds, with 75 currently active.1<\/sup> iBonds ETFs hold diverse bonds with matching maturity dates. Each ETF intends to provide regular interest payments and distributes a final payout in its stated maturity year.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cA defining feature of today\u2019s market environment is the breadth and durability of income. iBonds have become practical building blocks for investors and advisors seeking to capture that income while planning around specific time horizons,\u201d said Steve Laipply, Global Co\u2011Head of iShares Fixed Income ETFs at BlackRock<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\niShares is a global leader in ETFs, managing more than $5.7 trillion in assets, including over $1.2 trillion in bond ETFs.2<\/sup> Since launching the first bond ETF in 2002, BlackRock has continued to redefine fixed income investing through innovation and scale.<\/p>\n

\nAs of March 5, the registration statements of the Funds are effective but not yet available to trade. BlackRock intends to launch the Funds before the end of April 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

About iShares<\/b><\/p>\n

\niShares unlocks opportunity across markets to meet the evolving needs of investors. With more than twenty years of experience, a global line-up of more than 1,700 exchange traded funds (ETFs) and approximately $5.47 trillion in assets under management as of December 31, 2025, iShares continues to drive progress for the financial industry. iShares funds are powered by the expert portfolio and risk management of BlackRock.<\/p>\n

\nIMPORTANT INFORMATION<\/p>\n

A registration statement has been filed for the Fund and the registration statement has become effective. However, shares of the Fund are not yet available for purchase or sale. Carefully consider the Funds\u2019 investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Funds’ prospectuses or, if available, the summary prospectuses which may be obtained by visiting www.iShares.com<\/a> or <\/b>www.blackrock.com<\/b><\/a>. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.<\/b><\/p>\n

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.<\/b><\/p>\n

\nFixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in the value of debt securities. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the debt issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments.<\/p>\n

\nNon-investment-grade debt securities (high-yield\/junk bonds) may be subject to greater market fluctuations, risk of default or loss of income and principal than higher-rated securities.<\/p>\n

\nThere may be less information on the financial condition of municipal issuers than for public corporations. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds. Some investors may be subject to federal or state income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable.<\/p>\n

\nTIPS can provide investors a hedge against inflation, as the inflation adjustment feature helps preserve the purchasing power of the investment. Because of this inflation adjustment feature, inflation protected bonds typically have lower yields than conventional fixed rate bonds and will likely decline in price during periods of deflation, which could result in losses. Government backing applies only to government issued securities, and does not apply to the funds.<\/p>\n

\nAn investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency and its return and yield will fluctuate with market conditions.<\/p>\n

\nThe iShares\u00ae<\/sup> iBonds\u00ae<\/sup> ETFs will terminate in October or December of the year in the 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. In the final months of the Fund\u2019s operation, as the bonds it holds mature, its portfolio will transition to cash and cash-like instruments. Following the Fund\u2019s 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 do not seek to return any predetermined amount.<\/p>\n

\nDuring the months prior to the Fund\u2019s planned termination date, its yield will generally tend to move toward prevailing money market rates (or, in the case of the Muni iBonds ETFs, tax-exempt money market rates), and may be lower than the yields of the bonds previously held by the Fund and lower than prevailing yields for bonds in the market. The rate of Fund distribution payments may adversely affect the tax characterization of an investor\u2019s 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\u2019s termination is higher or lower than the investor\u2019s cost basis, the investor may experience a gain or loss for tax purposes.<\/p>\n

\nThere is no guarantee that any fund will pay dividends.<\/p>\n

\nBuying and selling shares of ETFs may result in brokerage commissions. Diversification and asset allocation may not protect against market risk or loss of principal.<\/p>\n

\nThe strategies discussed are strictly for illustrative and educational purposes and are not a recommendation, offer or solicitation to buy or sell any securities or to adopt any investment strategy. There is no guarantee that any strategies discussed will be effective.<\/p>\n

\nThe information presented does not take into consideration commissions, tax implications, or other transactions costs, which may significantly affect the economic consequences of a given strategy or investment decision.<\/p>\n

\nThis material is not intended as an offer or solicitation for the purchase or sale of any financial instrument. Similarly, the material does not constitute, and should not be relied on as, legal, regulatory, accounting, tax, investment, trading or other advice. Any financial, tax, or legal information contained herein is included for informational purposes only.<\/p>\n

\nThe Funds are distributed by BlackRock Investments, LLC (together with its affiliates, \u201cBlackRock\u201d).<\/p>\n
