12 General Description of the Trust and its Funds The Trust currently consists of more than 280 investment series or portfolios. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 1999 and is authorized to have multiple series or portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act. The offering of the Trust s shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act ). This SAI relates to the following Funds: ishares 1-3 Year Credit Bond ETF ishares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF ishares 3-7 Year Treasury Bond ETF ishares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF ishares 10+ Year Credit Bond ETF ishares Year Treasury Bond ETF ishares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF ishares Agency Bond ETF ishares California Muni Bond ETF ishares Core 5-10 Year USD Bond ETF ishares Core 10+ Year USD Bond ETF ishares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF ishares ESG 1-5 Year USD Corporate Bond ETF ishares ESG USD Corporate Bond ETF ishares Government/Credit Bond ETF ishares iboxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF ishares iboxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF ishares Intermediate Credit Bond ETF ishares Intermediate Government/Credit Bond ETF ishares MBS ETF ishares National Muni Bond ETF ishares New York Muni Bond ETF ishares Short-Term National Muni Bond ETF ishares Short Treasury Bond ETF ishares U.S. Credit Bond ETF Each Fund is managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors ( BFA ), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., and generally seeks to track the investment results of the specific benchmark index identified in the applicable Prospectus for that Fund (each, an Underlying Index ). Each Fund offers and issues shares at their net asset value per share ( NAV ) only in aggregations of a specified number of shares (each, a Creation Unit ), generally in exchange for a designated portfolio of securities (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted) included in its Underlying Index (the Deposit Securities ), together with the deposit of a specified cash payment (the Cash Component ). Shares of the Funds are listed for trading on national securities exchanges such as Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. ( Cboe BZX ) (formerly known as BATS Exchange, Inc.), The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC ( NASDAQ ) or NYSE Arca, Inc. ( NYSE Arca ) (each a Listing Exchange ). Shares of each Fund are traded in the secondary market and elsewhere at market prices that may be at, above or below the Fund s NAV. Shares are redeemable only in Creation Units by Authorized Participants (as defined in the Portfolio Holdings Information section of this SAI), and, 1

13 generally, in exchange for portfolio securities and a Cash Amount (as defined in the Redemption of Creation Units section of this SAI) (other than the ishares MBS ETF, which generally redeems Creation Units of its shares solely for cash). Creation Units typically are a specified number of shares, generally ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 shares or multiples thereof. The Trust reserves the right to permit or require that creations and redemptions of shares are effected fully or partially in cash and reserves the right to permit or require the substitution of Deposit Securities in lieu of cash. Shares may be issued in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities, subject to various conditions, including a requirement that the Authorized Participant maintain with the Trust a cash deposit equal to at least 105% and up to 115%, which percentage BFA may change from time to time, of the market value of the omitted Deposit Securities. The Trust may use such cash deposit at any time to purchase Deposit Securities. See the Creation and Redemption of Creation Units section of this SAI. Transaction fees and other costs associated with creations or redemptions that include a cash portion may be higher than the transaction fees and other costs associated with in-kind creations or redemptions. In all cases, conditions with respect to creations and redemptions of shares and fees will be limited in accordance with the requirements of SEC rules and regulations applicable to management investment companies offering redeemable securities. Exchange Listing and Trading A discussion of exchange listing and trading matters associated with an investment in each Fund is contained in the Shareholder Information section of each Fund s Prospectus. The discussion below supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, that section of the applicable Prospectus. Shares of each Fund are listed for trading, and trade throughout the day, on the applicable Listing Exchange and in other secondary markets. Shares of certain Funds may also be listed on certain non-u.s. exchanges. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Listing Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of shares of any Fund will continue to be met. The Listing Exchange may, but is not required to, remove the shares of a Fund from listing if, among other things: (i) following the initial 12-month period beginning upon the commencement of trading of Fund shares, there are fewer than 50 record and/or beneficial owners of shares of a Fund for 30 or more consecutive trading days, (ii) the value of the Underlying Index on which a Fund is based is no longer calculated or available, or (iii) any other event shall occur or condition shall exist that, in the opinion of the Listing Exchange, makes further dealings on the Listing Exchange inadvisable. The Listing Exchange will also remove shares of a Fund from listing and trading upon termination of such Fund or in the event a Fund does not comply with the continuous listing standards of the Listing Exchange, as described in the Fund s Prospectus. As in the case of other publicly-traded securities, when you buy or sell shares of a Fund through a broker, you may incur a brokerage commission determined by that broker, as well as other charges. In order to provide additional information regarding the indicative value of shares of the Funds, the Listing Exchange or a market data vendor disseminates information every 15 seconds through the facilities of the Consolidated Tape Association, or through other widely disseminated means, an updated indicative optimized portfolio value ( IOPV ) for the Funds as calculated by an information provider or market data vendor. The Trust is not involved in or responsible for any aspect of the calculation or dissemination of the IOPV and makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the IOPV. An IOPV has a fixed-income securities component and a cash component. The fixed-income securities values included in an IOPV are the values of the Deposit Securities for a Fund. While the IOPV reflects the current value of the Deposit Securities required to be deposited in connection with the purchase of a Creation Unit, it does not necessarily reflect the precise composition of the current portfolio of securities held by the Fund at a particular point in time because the current portfolio of the Fund may include securities that are not a part of the current Deposit Securities. Therefore, a Fund s IOPV disseminated during the Listing Exchange trading hours should not be viewed as a real-time update of the Fund s NAV, which is calculated only once a day. The cash component included in an IOPV consists of estimated accrued interest, dividends and other income, less expenses. If applicable, each IOPV also reflects changes in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the applicable currency. The Trust reserves the right to adjust the share prices of the Funds in the future to maintain convenient trading ranges for investors. Any adjustments would be accomplished through stock splits or reverse stock splits, which would have no effect on the net assets of the Funds or an investor s equity interest in the Funds. 2

14 Investment Strategies and Risks Each Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in both fixed-income securities that comprise its relevant Underlying Index and through transactions that provide substantially similar exposure to securities in the Underlying Index. Each Fund operates as an index fund and is not actively managed. Adverse performance of a security in a Fund s portfolio will ordinarily not result in the elimination of the security from the Fund s portfolio. Each Fund engages in representative sampling, which is investing in a sample of securities selected by BFA to have a collective investment profile similar to that of the Fund s Underlying Index. Securities selected have aggregate investment characteristics (based on market capitalization and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as yield, credit rating, maturity and duration) and liquidity measures similar to those of the Underlying Index. A fund that uses representative sampling generally does not hold all of the securities that are in its underlying index. Although the Funds do not seek leveraged returns, certain instruments used by the Funds may have a leveraging effect as described below. Each of the ishares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF, ishares 3-7 Year Treasury Bond ETF, ishares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF, ishares Year Treasury Bond ETF, ishares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF and ishares Short Treasury Bond ETF (the Treasury Bond Funds ) generally invests at least 90% of its assets in the bonds of its Underlying Index and at least 95% of its assets in U.S. government bonds. Each Treasury Bond Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in U.S. government bonds not included in its Underlying Index, but which BFA believes will help the Treasury Bond Fund track its Underlying Index. For example, a Treasury Bond Fund may invest in bonds not included in its Underlying Index in order to reflect changes in the relevant Underlying Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions). Each Treasury Bond Fund also may invest up to 5% of its assets in repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government obligations and in cash and cash equivalents, including shares of money market funds advised by BFA or its affiliates ( BlackRock Cash Funds ). Each of the ishares 1-3 Year Credit Bond ETF, ishares Government/Credit Bond ETF, ishares Intermediate Credit Bond ETF, ishares Intermediate Government/Credit Bond ETF and ishares U.S. Credit Bond ETF generally invests at least 90% of its assets in the securities of its Underlying Index. For example, a Fund may invest in bonds not included in its Underlying Index in order to reflect changes in its Underlying Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions). Each of the ishares 1-3 Year Credit Bond ETF, ishares Government/Credit Bond ETF, ishares Intermediate Credit Bond ETF, ishares Intermediate Government/Credit Bond ETF and ishares U.S. Credit Bond ETF may invest the remainder of its assets in certain futures, options and swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents, including shares of BlackRock Cash Funds, as well as in securities not included in its Underlying Index, but which BFA believes will help the Fund track its Underlying Index. Each of the ishares 10+ Year Credit Bond ETF, ishares Core 5-10 Year USD Bond ETF, ishares Core 10+ Year USD Bond ETF, ishares ESG 1-5 Year USD Corporate Bond ETF, ishares ESG USD Corporate Bond ETF and ishares iboxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF generally will invest at least 90% of its assets in the component securities of the Underlying Index and may invest up to 10% of its assets in certain futures, options and swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents, including shares of BlackRock Cash Funds, as well as in securities not included in the Underlying Index, but which BFA believes will help the Fund track the Underlying Index. From time to time when conditions warrant, however, the Fund may invest at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the Underlying Index and may invest up to 20% of its assets in certain futures, options and swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents, including shares of BlackRock Cash Funds, as well as in securities not included in the Underlying Index, but which BFA believes will help the Fund track the Underlying Index. The ishares Agency Bond ETF generally will invest at least 90% of its assets in the component securities of the Underlying Index and may invest up to 10% of its assets in certain futures, options and swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents, including shares of BlackRock Cash Funds, as well as in securities not included in the Underlying Index, but which BFA believes will help the Fund track the Underlying Index. From time to time when conditions warrant, however, the Fund may invest at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the Underlying Index and may invest up to 20% of its assets in certain futures, options and swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents, including shares of BlackRock Cash Funds, as well as in securities not included in the Underlying Index, but which BFA believes will help the Fund track the Underlying Index. For example, the Fund may invest in securities not included in the Underlying Index in order to reflect various corporate actions (such as mergers) and other changes in the Underlying Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions). 3

15 The ishares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF generally seeks to track the performance of its Underlying Index by investing at least 90% of its net assets in component securities of its Underlying Index and in investments that have economic characteristics that are substantially identical to the economic characteristics of the component securities of its Underlying Index (i.e., TBAs). The Fund may invest up to 10% of its portfolio in bonds not included in its Underlying Index, but which BFA believes will help the Fund track its Underlying Index, as well as in certain futures, options and swap contracts, cash and high-quality, liquid short-term instruments, including shares of BlackRock Cash Funds. For example, the Fund may invest in securities not included in the Underlying Index in order to reflect various corporate actions (such as mergers) and other changes in the Underlying Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions). The ishares iboxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF generally invests at least 90% of its assets in component securities of its Underlying Index and at least 95% of its assets in investment-grade corporate bonds. However, the Fund may at times invest up to 20% of its assets in certain futures, options and swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents as well as bonds not included in its relevant Underlying Index but which BFA believes will help the Fund track its Underlying Index and which are either: (i) included in the broader index upon which the Underlying Index is based (i.e., the Markit iboxx USD Index); or (ii) new issues which BFA believes are entering or about to enter the Underlying Index or the Markit iboxx USD Index. The Fund may invest up to 5% of its assets in repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government obligations and in cash and cash equivalents, including shares of BlackRock Cash Funds. The ishares MBS ETF seeks to track the performance of its Underlying Index by investing at least 90% of its assets in the securities of its Underlying Index and in investments that provide substantially similar exposure to securities in the Underlying Index. The Fund may invest the remainder of its assets in certain futures, options and swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents, including shares of BlackRock Cash Funds, as well as in securities not included in the Underlying Index, but which BFA believes will help the Fund track the Underlying Index. Each of the ishares California Muni Bond ETF, ishares National Muni Bond ETF, ishares New York Muni Bond ETF and ishares Short-Term National Muni Bond ETF (the Municipal Bond Funds ) generally will invest at least 90% of its assets in the component securities of the Underlying Index and may invest up to 10% of its assets in certain futures, options and swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents, including shares of BlackRock Cash Funds, as well as in securities not included in the Underlying Index, but which BFA believes will help the Fund track the Underlying Index. From time to time when conditions warrant, however, the Fund may invest at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the Underlying Index and may invest up to 20% of its assets in certain futures, options and swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents, including shares of BlackRock Cash Funds, as well as in securities not included in the Underlying Index, but which BFA believes will help the Fund track the Underlying Index. For example, each Municipal Bond Fund may invest in municipal bonds not included in its Underlying Index in order to reflect prospective changes in its Underlying Index (such as index reconstitutions, additions and deletions). Each of the ishares California Muni Bond ETF and ishares New York Muni Bond ETF generally holds municipal bond securities issued by its respective state and local municipalities whose interest payments are exempt from U.S. federal and state income tax, the federal alternative minimum tax ( AMT ), and the federal Medicare contribution tax of 3.8% on net investment income. Each of the ishares National Muni Bond ETF and ishares Short-Term National Muni Bond ETF will generally hold municipal bond securities issued by state and local municipalities whose interest payments are exempt from U.S. federal income tax, the federal AMT, and the federal Medicare contribution tax of 3.8% on net investment income. In addition, each Municipal Bond Fund intends to invest any cash assets in one or more affiliated municipal money market funds, which may be advised by BFA or its affiliates. Asset-Backed and Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities. Certain of the Funds may invest in asset-backed securities ( ABS ) and commercial mortgage-backed securities ( CMBS ). ABS are securities backed by installment contracts, creditcard receivables or other assets. CMBS are securities backed by commercial real estate properties. Both ABS and CMBS represent interests in pools of assets in which payments of both interest and principal on the securities are made on a regular basis. The payments are, in effect, passed through to the holder of the securities (net of any fees paid to the issuer or guarantor of the securities). The average life of ABS and CMBS varies with the maturities of the underlying instruments and, as a result of prepayments, can often be less than the original maturity of the assets underlying the securities. For this and other reasons, the stated maturity of an ABS or CMBS may be shortened, and the security s total return may be difficult to predict precisely. Beginning in the second half of 2007 through 2009, the market for ABS and mortgage-backed pass-through securities ( MBS ) experienced substantially, often dramatically, lower valuations and reduced liquidity. These instruments continue to 4

16 be subject to liquidity constraints, price volatility, credit downgrades and increases in default rates and, therefore, may be more difficult to value and more difficult to dispose of than previously. Bonds. Each Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in U.S. dollar-denominated bonds. A bond is an interest-bearing security issued by a U.S. or non-u.s. company, or U.S. or non-u.s. governmental unit. The issuer of a bond has a contractual obligation to pay interest at a stated rate on specific dates and to repay principal (the bond s face value) periodically or on a specified maturity date. Bonds generally are used by corporations and governments to borrow money from investors. An issuer may have the right to redeem or call a bond before maturity, in which case a fund may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower market rates. Similarly, a fund may have to reinvest interest income or payments received when bonds mature, sometimes at lower market rates. Most bonds bear interest income at a coupon rate that is fixed for the life of the bond. The value of a fixed-rate bond usually rises when market interest rates fall, and falls when market interest rates rise. Accordingly, a fixed-rate bond s yield (income as a percent of the bond s current value) may differ from its coupon rate as its value rises or falls. When an investor purchases a fixed-rate bond at a price that is greater than its face value, the investor is purchasing the bond at a premium. Conversely, when an investor purchases a fixed-rate bond at a price that is less than its face value, the investor is purchasing the bond at a discount. Fixed-rate bonds that are purchased at a discount pay less current income than securities with comparable yields that are purchased at face value, with the result that prices for such fixed-rate securities can be more volatile than prices for such securities that are purchased at face value. Other types of bonds bear interest at an interest rate that is adjusted periodically. Interest rates on floating rate or variable rate bonds may be higher or lower than current market rates for fixed-rate bonds of comparable quality with similar final maturities. Because of their adjustable interest rates, the value of floating rate or variable rate bonds fluctuates much less in response to market interest rate movements than the value of fixed-rate bonds, but their value may decline if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as interest rates in general. Each Fund may treat some of these bonds as having a shorter maturity for purposes of calculating the weighted average maturity of its investment portfolio. Generally, prices of higher quality issues tend to fluctuate less with changes in market interest rates than prices of lower quality issues and prices of longer maturity issues tend to fluctuate more than prices of shorter maturity issues. Bonds may be senior or subordinated obligations. Senior obligations generally have the first claim on a corporation s earnings and assets and, in the event of liquidation, are paid before subordinated obligations. Bonds may be unsecured (backed only by the issuer s general creditworthiness) or secured (backed by specified collateral). Borrowing. Each Fund may borrow for temporary or emergency purposes, including to meet payments due from redemptions or to facilitate the settlement of securities or other transactions. Under normal market conditions, any borrowing by a Fund will not exceed 10% of the Fund s net assets; however, each Fund generally does not intend to borrow money. The purchase of securities while borrowings are outstanding may have the effect of leveraging a Fund. The incurrence of leverage increases a Fund s exposure to risk, and borrowed funds are subject to interest costs that will reduce net income. Purchasing securities while borrowings are outstanding creates special risks, such as the potential for greater volatility in the net asset value of Fund shares and in the yield on a Fund s portfolio. In addition, the interest expenses from borrowings may exceed the income generated by a Fund s portfolio and, therefore, the amount available (if any) for distribution to shareholders as dividends may be reduced. BFA may determine to maintain outstanding borrowings if it expects that the benefits to a Fund s shareholders will outweigh the current reduced return. Certain types of borrowings by a Fund must be made from a bank or may result in a Fund being subject to covenants in credit agreements relating to asset coverage, portfolio composition requirements and other matters. It is not anticipated that observance of such covenants would impede BFA s management of a Fund s portfolio in accordance with a Fund s investment objectives and policies. However, a breach of any such covenants not cured within the specified cure period may result in acceleration of outstanding indebtedness and require a Fund to dispose of portfolio investments at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so. Brady Bonds. Certain of the Funds may invest in Brady bonds. Brady bonds are securities created through the exchange of existing commercial bank loans to public and private entities in certain emerging markets for new bonds in connection with debt restructurings. Brady bonds have been issued since In light of the history of defaults of countries issuing Brady bonds on their commercial bank loans, investments in Brady bonds may be viewed as speculative and subject to the same risks as emerging market securities. Brady bonds may be fully or partially collateralized or uncollateralized, are issued in U.S. 5

17 dollars and are actively traded in over-the-counter ( OTC ) secondary markets. Incomplete collateralization of interest or principal payment obligations results in increased credit risk. U.S. dollar-denominated collateralized Brady bonds, which may be either fixed-rate or floating rate bonds, are generally collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities. Corporate Bonds. Each Fund (other than the Treasury Bond Funds and the Municipal Bond Funds) may invest in investment-grade and/or high yield corporate bonds. High yield corporate bonds may be deemed speculative and more volatile than higher rated securities of similar maturity. The investment return of corporate bonds reflects interest earned on the security and changes in the market value of the security. The market value of a corporate bond may be affected by changes in the market rate of interest, the credit rating of the corporation, the corporation s performance and perceptions of the corporation in the marketplace. There is a risk that the issuers of the securities may not be able to meet their obligations on interest or principal payments at the time called for by an instrument. Diversification Status. The following table sets forth the diversification status of each Fund: Diversified Funds ishares 1-3 Year Credit Bond ETF ishares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF ishares 3-7 Year Treasury Bond ETF ishares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF ishares 10+ Year Credit Bond ETF ishares Year Treasury Bond ETF ishares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF ishares Agency Bond ETF ishares Core 10+ Year USD Bond ETF ishares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF ishares Government/Credit Bond ETF ishares iboxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF ishares iboxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF ishares Intermediate Credit Bond ETF ishares Intermediate Government/Credit Bond ETF ishares MBS ETF ishares National Muni Bond ETF ishares Short-Term National Muni Bond ETF ishares Short Treasury Bond ETF ishares U.S. Credit Bond ETF Non-Diversified Funds ishares California Muni Bond ETF ishares Core 5-10 Year USD Bond ETF ishares ESG 1-5 Year USD Corporate Bond ETF ishares ESG USD Corporate Bond ETF ishares New York Muni Bond ETF A fund classified as diversified under the 1940 Act may not purchase securities of an issuer (other than (i) obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities and (ii) securities of other investment companies) if, with respect to 75% of its total assets, (a) more than 5% of the fund s total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer or (b) the fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer. With respect to the remaining 25% of its total assets, the fund may invest more than 5% of its assets in one issuer. Under the 1940 Act, a fund cannot change its classification from diversified to non-diversified without shareholder approval. A non-diversified fund is a fund that is not limited by the 1940 Act with regard to the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer. The securities of a particular issuer (or securities of issuers in particular industries) may constitute a significant percentage of the underlying index of such a fund and, consequently, the fund s investment portfolio. This may adversely affect a fund s performance or subject the fund s shares to greater price volatility than that experienced by more diversified investment companies. 6
