Unless otherwise specified, all information contained in this document is sourced by BlackRock and is current as at 31 May IMPEG-0633 Sector breakdown (%)Country breakdown (%) In principle, all funds may participate in securities lending. BlackRock, acting as an agent, currently lends securities on behalf of funds with the objective of generating incremental returns for the funds while maintaining a low level of risk. Should a particular Fund undertake securities lending, it will receive 62.5% of the income generated by this activity and the remaining 37.5% will be received by BlackRock as the securities lending agent. The fact that BlackRock receives a portion of the fee generated from the overall securities lending income does not increase the costs of running the Fund. Securities lending involves risk such as that of counterparty default. As an additional safeguard in the event of a counterparty default, BlackRock, Inc. provides the Fund with an indemnity to cover losses associated with borrower default — in the event of a default, if a shortfall exists between the proceeds of the sale of the collateral and the cost to repurchase loaned securities, BlackRock reimburses the Fund in full under the terms of the indemnity.
