BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited ("BlackRock Canada"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:BLK), today announced the estimated annual capital gains distributions for the iShares® Funds listed below for the 2013 tax year. Please note that these are estimated amounts only as of November 6, 2013 and reflect forward-looking information which may cause the estimates to change before the Funds' December 15, 2013 tax year-end.
These estimates are for the year-end capital gains distributions only, which are typically reinvested in additional units of the respective funds rather than paid in cash, and do not include estimates of ongoing monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual cash distribution amounts. The additional units will be immediately consolidated with the previously outstanding units such that the number of outstanding units following the distribution will equal the number of units outstanding prior to the distribution.
We expect to announce the final year-end distribution amounts, as well as the monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual cash distribution amounts, on or about December 18, 2013. The ex-dividend date for the 2013 annual distributions will be December 27, 2013. The record date for the 2013 annual distributions will be December 31, 2013, payable on January 6, 2014. The actual taxable amounts of reinvested and cash distributions for 2013, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or "CDS") in early 2014.

*Additional capital gains distributions will be made on the CAB, CAB.A, CYH and CYH.A units, as discussed below.
Reasons for some of the larger estimated capital gains distributions are as follows:
XRE
The iShares S&P/TSX Capped REIT Index Fund's ("XRE") capital gains are largely the result of the acquisition of Primaris Real Estate Investment Trust by H&R Real Estate Investment Trust during the year, which led to the realization of capital gains embedded in the Primaris position held by the fund.
XEI
The iShares S&P/TSX Equity Income Index Fund ("XEI") experienced capital gains in 2013 primarily due to the appreciation of securities held in its portfolio, and realized on the sale of securities in connection with the quarterly index rebalances. Some of the larger contributors to the gain were realized on the disposition of shares in Thomson Reuters Corp., Shaw Communications Inc. B, Husky Energy Inc., Cineplex Inc., and Bank of Nova Scotia.
CBD
The iShares Balanced Income CorePortfolio™ Fund ("CBD") experienced capital gains in 2013 in part due to the appreciation of securities held in its portfolio. Gains were also realized on the fund's holding of the iShares Global Monthly Advantaged Dividend Index Fund ("CYH"). See below for further details on CYH's distributions.
XRB
The iShares DEX Real Return Bond Index Fund ("XRB") realized capital gains in 2013 on the disposition of securities held as part of the normal course of operations for which there were embedded gains based on strong past performance.
Forward-using iShares ETFs:
CYH, CAB, CBR, CHB, CMF, CSD and CVD
On September 17, 2013, BlackRock Canada announced changes to seven forward-using iShares Funds in response to proposed new federal taxation rules that would deem gains on the settlement of certain forward agreements to be included in ordinary income rather than treated as capital gains.
As disclosed in a press release issued earlier today, each of the iShares Global Monthly Advantaged Dividend Index Fund ("CYH") and the iShares Advantaged Canadian Bond Index Fund ("CAB") experienced significant capital gains in 2013 due primarily to the appreciation in value of their respective reference portfolios that were realized upon the termination of the respective funds' forward agreements, which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2013 as part of the changes to the funds. As a result, CYH and CAB will make special capital gains distributions to unitholders on record as-of November 28, 2013.
BlackRock Canada does not expect that there will be year-end capital gain distributions for iShares Broad Commodity Index Fund (CAD-Hedged) ("CBR"), iShares Advantaged U.S. High Yield Bond Index Fund ("CHB"), iShares Managed Futures Index Fund ("CMF"), iShares Advantaged Short Duration High Income ETF ("CSD") and iShares Advantaged Convertible Bond Index Fund ("CVD") as a result of the changes to the funds. BlackRock Canada does expect, however, that for the forward-using iShares ETFs, regular cash distributions made during 2013 will be characterized as capital gains.
Certain considerations pertaining to the tax treatment of each of the forward-using iShares ETFs and its forward agreement(s) are set out in the fund's prospectus. As described above, the termination of a fund's forward agreement, will have the effect of realizing certain of these tax consequences. Unitholders should consult their own tax advisors about the consequences in their particular circumstances.
Forward-looking information
This notice contains forward-looking statements with respect to the annual distributions for the iShares Funds. By their nature, these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual distributions to differ materially from the estimated annual distributions set forth in this notice. Factors that could cause the actual distributions to differ from the estimated distributions between now and December 15, 2013 (the iShares Funds' tax year end) include, but are not limited to: the actual amounts of distributions received by the iShares Funds; the actual amounts of capital gains generated from sales of securities; trading activity within the iShares Funds, including buying and selling of securities; index changes which cause rebalancing within the iShares Funds; and subscription and redemption activity.
