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 ICE BofAML US High Yield Constrained Index, the Fund’s benchmark index (Index).

The Share Class, via the Fund, aims to invest so far as possible and practicable in the fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds) that make up the Index and comply

with its credit rating requirements. If the credit rating of the FI securities are upgraded or become unrated, such that they are no longer eligible for inclusion in the

Index, the Fund may continue to hold these until they cease to form part of the Index and it is practicable to sell the position.

The Index measures the performance of US Dollar denominated, fixed rate sub-investment grade (based on an average rating of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch) (i.e. meet a

specified level of creditworthiness) corporate FI securities publicly issued in the US domestic market. To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, the FI securities must

have risk exposure to countries that are members of the FX-G10, Western Europe or territories of the US and Western Europe, at least 18 months to final maturity at

the time of issuance, at least one year remaining term to final maturity as of the Index’s rebalancing date, a fixed coupon (i.e. interest) schedule and a minimum

amount outstanding of USD 250 million. Zero coupon bonds (i.e. bonds that do not pay interest) are also eligible for inclusion in the Index. The Index is market

capitalisation weighted, rebalances on a monthly basis and individual issuers are capped at 2% of index weight. Market capitalisation is the market value of the

outstanding bond issuance. Issuers that exceed the limit are reduced to 2% and the weighting of each of their FI securities is adjusted on a pro-rata basis. Similarly, the

weighting of FI securities of all other issuers that fall below the 2% cap are increased on a pro-rata basis. If there are fewer than 50 issuers in the Index, each issuer will

be equally weighted and the weighting of their respective bonds will be increased or decreased on pro-rata basis.

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) (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 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

iShares III plc). In addition, the Fund's assets are held separately from the assets of other sub-funds. Assets and liabilities specific to a share class would be

attributable to only that share class, however there is no segregation of liabilities between share classes under Irish law.

may switch shares between share classes of the Fund subject to meeting certain conditions in the Fund's prospectus.
