BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited announces today the final annual reinvested distributions for the iShares exchange traded funds for the 2009 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. The net asset value and the number of units outstanding for each iShares Fund will not change as a result of these reinvested distributions. These reinvested distributions do not include the fourth quarter cash distributions which were reported in a separate press release dated December 17, 2009.
Unitholders of record on December 30, 2009 will receive reinvested distributions payable on December 31, 2009. The ex-dividend date will be December 24, 2009. The actual taxable amounts of reinvested and cash distributions for 2009, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.) early in 2010.
