BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited ("BlackRock Canada"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:BLK), today announced the estimated annual reinvested capital gains distributions for the iShares Funds listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the 2014 tax year. Please note that these are estimated amounts only as of December 15, 2014 and could change if the iShares Funds experience subscriptions or redemptions prior to the ex-dividend date. 

These estimates are for the annual non-cash capital gains distributions, which are typically reinvested in additional units of the respective funds at the year-end, and do not include estimates of ongoing monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or 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 annual reinvested distribution amounts, as well as the monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual cash distribution amounts, as applicable, for 2014, on or about December 24, 2014, for all funds except the iShares Premium Money Market ETF, for which a press release will be issued on December 30, 2014. The record date for the 2014 annual distributions will be December 31, 2014, payable on January 6, 2015. The actual taxable amounts of reinvested and cash distributions for 2014, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or "CDS") in early 2015.

Details regarding the "per unit" distribution amounts are as follows:
