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 USA Quality Dividend # Advanced UCITS ETF ## A sub-fund of iShares II plc # Hedged GBP Dist ISIN: IE000PYHMXV4 Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) Manager: BlackRock Asset Management Ireland Limited # Objectives and Investment Policy The Share Class is a share class of a 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 USA Value Advanced Select IndexMSCI USA High Dividend Yield Advanced Select Index, the Fund’s benchmark index (Index). The Share Class, via the Fund is passively managed, and invests in equity securities (e.g. shares) that, so far as possible and practicable, make up the Index. The Index aims to reflect the performance of a sub-set of equity securities within the MSCI USA Index (Parent Index) and applies an optimisation process which seeks to target exposure to companies with higher dividend yield and quality characteristics whilst also seeking to achieve a carbon reduction and environmental, social and governance (ESG) score improvement relative to the Parent Index. Issuers may be excluded if they are involved in controversial, conventional, and nuclear weapons, civilian firearms, tobacco, thermal coal, oil sands and classified as violating the United Nations Global Compact principles. The Index also excludes companies based on their involvement in very severe ESG related controversies. The Fund may obtain limited exposure to securities considered not to satisfy these ESG criteria. The Parent Index measures the performance of large and mid capitalisation stocks of the US equity market which comply with MSCI’s size, liquidity and free-float criteria. Companies are included in the Parent Index based on the portion of their shares in issue that are available for purchase by international investors. The Fund adopts a binding and significant ESG optimisation approach to sustainable investing i.e. the Fund will integrate ESG information into investment processes to optimise exposure to issuers to achieve a higher ESG rating compared to the Parent Index. The Fund intends to replicate the Index by holding the equity securities, which make up the Index, in similar proportions to it. These may also include the use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets). 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 off-set 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 distributing shares (i.e. income will be paid on the shares quarterly). The Fund’s base currency is US Dollar. Shares for this Share Class are denominated in Sterling. 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 five 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. ## - 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. ## - Index Methodology Risk: Although the benchmark index aims to seek exposure to securities with high quality characteristics from within the Parent Index, there is no guarantee that this objective will be achieved. ## - 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 II 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.
