BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited announces today the
revised estimated annual reinvested distributions for the iShares
exchange-traded funds for the 2010 tax year. These annual
reinvested distributions generally represent realized capital gains
within the funds. The reinvested distributions are not paid in cash
but will be reported as taxable distributions and can be used to
increase the investor's adjusted cost base of the fund. These
estimated reinvested distributions do not include the fourth
quarter cash distributions which are reported in a separate press
release. These estimates replace the previous estimates issued in a
press release dated November 18, 2010.
Unitholders of record on December 30, 2010 will receive
reinvested distributions payable on December 31, 2010. The
ex-dividend date will be December 24, 2010. The actual taxable
amounts of reinvested and cash distributions for 2010, including
the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to
brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.) early
in 2011.
The following chart shows the estimated annual reinvested
distributions per unit for each of the iShares funds.
