The information is required by law to help you understand the nature and risks of investing in this Fund. You are advised to read it so you can make an informed decision about whether to invest. # iShares MSCI Japan CTB Enhanced ESG # UCITS ETF ## A sub-fund of iShares IV plc # EUR Hedged (Acc) Share Class ISIN: IE0002SCQ8X0 Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) Manager: BlackRock Asset Management Ireland Limited # Objectives and Investment Policy The Share Class is a share class of the Fund which aims to achieve a return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund's assets, which reflects the return of the MSCI Japan ESG Enhanced CTB Index, the Fund’s benchmark index ("Index"). The Share Class, via the Fund, is passively managed, and aims to invest so far as possible and practicable in equity securities (e.g. shares) that make up the Index. The Index measures the performance of a sub-set of Japanese equity securities which are part of the MSCI Japan Index (the “Parent Index”) and excludes companies from the Parent Index based on the index provider’s environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) exclusionary criteria. The remaining companies are then weighted by the index provider using an optimisation process which aims to meet the decarbonisation targets and other minimum standards for an EU Climate Transition Benchmark (as further described in the Fund’s prospectus), whilst targeting a similar risk and return profile, and maintaining a better ESG score, each in relation to the Parent Index. Companies are excluded from the Index if they are involved with controversial and nuclear weapons, production of civilian firearms (relating to automatic and semi- automatic civilian firearms and small arms ammunition), distribution of civilian firearms or small arms ammunition, tobacco, thermal coal, or unconventional oil and gas. Companies that are classified as violating the United Nations Global Compact principles, are involved in serious ESG controversies, as determined by the index provider, or have not been assessed by the index provider for an ESG controversy score or an ESG rating, are also excluded from the Index. The Fund may obtain limited exposure to securities considered not to satisfy these ESG criteria. The Fund adopts a binding and significant ESG optimisation approach to sustainable investing. This means that the Fund will integrate ESG information into its investment process to optimise exposure to issuers to achieve a higher ESG rating and reduce exposure to carbon emissions compared to the Parent Index while meeting optimisation constraints. The Fund uses optimising techniques to achieve a similar return to its Index. These techniques may include the strategic selection of certain securities that make up the Index or other securities which provide similar performance to certain constituent securities. These may also include the use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs). FDIs may be used for direct investment purposes. The Fund may also engage in short-term secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties to generate additional income to offset the costs of the Fund. Recommendation: This Fund is suitable for medium to long term investment, though the Fund may also be suitable for shorter term exposure to the Index. Your shares will be accumulating shares (i.e. income will be included in their value). The Fund’s base currency is US Dollar. Shares for this Share Class are denominated in Euro. The performance of your shares may be affected by this currency difference. Your shares will be “hedged” with the aim of reducing the effect of exchange rate fluctuations between their denominated currency and the Fund’s underlying portfolio currencies. FDIs, including FX forward contracts, will be used for currency hedging purposes. The hedging strategy may not completely eliminate currency risk and, therefore, may affect the performance of your shares. The shares are listed on one or more stock exchanges and may be traded in currencies other than their base currency. The performance of your shares may be affected by this currency difference. In normal circumstances, only authorised participants (e.g. select financial institutions) may deal in shares (or interests in shares) directly with the Fund. Other investors can deal in shares (or interests in shares) daily through an intermediary on stock exchange (s) on which the shares are traded. Indicative net asset value is published on relevant stock exchanges websites. For more information on the Fund, Share Class, risks and charges, please see the Fund's prospectus, available on the product pages at www.blackrock.com # Risk and Reward Profile Lower risk Higher risk > Typically lower rewards Typically higher rewards The risk indicator was calculated incorporating simulated historical data and may not be a reliable indication of the future risk profile of the Share Class. The risk category shown is not guaranteed and may change over time. The lowest category does not mean risk free. The Share Class is rated six due to the nature of its investments which include the risks listed below. These factors may impact the value of the Share Class or expose the Share Class to losses. ## - Investment risk is concentrated in specific sectors, countries, currencies or companies. This means the Fund is more sensitive to any localised economic, market, political, sustainability-related or regulatory events. ## - The value of equities and equity-related securities can be affected by daily stock market movements. Other influential factors include political, economic news, company earnings and significant corporate events. ## - The benchmark index only excludes companies engaging in certain activities inconsistent with ESG criteria if such activities exceed the thresholds determined by the index provider. Such ESG screening may reduce the potential investment universe and this may adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments compared to a fund without such screening. Particular risks not adequately captured by the risk indicator include: ## - Counterparty Risk: The insolvency of any institutions providing services such as safekeeping of assets or acting as counterparty to derivatives or other instruments, may expose the Share Class to financial loss.

The Fund is a sub-fund of iShares IV plc, an umbrella structure comprising different sub-funds. The Fund has one or more share classes. This document is specific to the Fund and Share Class stated at the beginning of this document.

Under Irish law, iShares IV plc has segregated liability between its sub-funds (i.e. the Fund’s assets will not be used to discharge the liabilities of other sub-funds within iShares IV plc). In addition, the Fund's assets are held separately from the assets of other sub-funds.
