How did the Fund perform last year?

-
For the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index (Net) returned 22.11%.
What contributed to performance?
Sezzle, Inc., a U.S.-based provider of buy now, pay later services, was the leading contributor to the Fund’s absolute performance. The company reported strong growth in payment volumes, revenue, and profitability, supported by increased customer engagement and more frequent use of its products. In addition, it raised its full-year guidance. Nu Holdings Ltd., one of the largest digital financial services platforms in Latin America, was also a top contributor. The company continued to add customers across Brazil, Mexico and Colombia, while increasing the number of financial products used by each customer. Investors reacted favorably to the company’s robust revenue growth and improving profitability, as well as the ongoing expansion of its credit portfolio. Affirm Holdings, Inc., a U.S. provider of installment payment solutions, was another key contributor. Affirm reported strong growth in gross merchandise volume and revenue, together with a significant improvement in profitability.
What detracted from performance?
The blockchain infrastructure company Circle Internet Group, Inc. was the largest detractor. The shares declined from the elevated levels they reached following the company’s initial public offering, as investors became more cautious about its valuation and the sensitivity of its earnings interest rate movements. Accelerant Holdings, a specialty insurance marketplace that connects underwriters with providers of risk capital, was an additional detractor due to concerns about the concentration of its third-party insurance relationships. Coinbase Global, Inc., a cryptocurrency exchange and digital asset infrastructure platform, also detracted. The company was affected by weaker cryptocurrency prices and lower spot trading activity, which reduced transaction revenue and weighed on profitability.

| iShares Health Innovation Active ETF | $69 | 0.61% |
How did the Fund perform last year?
-
For the reporting period ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 25.58%.
-
For the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index (Net) returned 22.11%, and the STOXX Global Breakthrough Healthcare Index (Net) returned 26.42%.
What contributed to performance?
Exact Sciences Corp., which was taken over at a premium by Abbott Laboratories in November 2025, was the leading contributor to absolute performance. Johnson & Johnson, which delivered strong results, raised its guidance, and demonstrated a healthy new product pipeline, was also a top contributor. Bruker Corp., a provider of scientific instruments and diagnostics solutions, further contributed to results. The stock advanced on signs of a return to organic revenue growth and profit margin expansion.
What detracted from performance?
Boston Scientific Corp. a leading cardiovascular and medical-surgical technology company, was the Fund’s largest individual detractor. The stock fell sharply in February 2026 after management issued revenue guidance that was well below expectations, and it weakened further in August after again cutting its sales and earnings outlook. Intuitive Surgical, Inc., a maker of robotic surgical systems, also detracted meaningfully. The stock lagged due to tariff headwinds, pricing pressures, and reduced demand for bariatric procedures stemming from rising GLP-1 usage. WuXi Biologics, Inc., which was pressured by changes in U.S. biosecurity policy, was an additional detractor of note.

| Fund name | Costs of a $10,000 investment |
Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
| iShares International Country Rotation Active ETF | $13 | 0.11% |
How did the Fund perform last year?
-
For the reporting period ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 31.73%.
-
For the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex-USA Index (Net) returned 28.46%.
What contributed to performance?
Holdings within South Korea, Japan and Taiwan made the largest contributions to return over the period.
South Korea was the largest contributor to return, driven by strong performance in technology and semiconductors. The robust demand for AI-related hardware, memory chips, and other technology components support South Korea’s exceptional earnings growth. Japan was a positive contributor to performance as improving corporate fundamentals, market reforms, and continued economic normalization helped fuel equity market gains. Taiwan was another positive contributor as companies there benefited from playing a central role in the global semiconductor and AI supply chain. The continued strong chip demand has supported earnings growth in Taiwan.
What detracted from performance?
Holdings within India, Finland and Qatar weighed most heavily on return.
India was the largest detractor from performance as elevated equity valuations, concerns around the pace of economic growth and softer earnings expectations weighed on investor sentiment there and led to foreign investor outflows. Finland’s equity market faced pressure from a challenging economic backdrop and slowing growth across parts of Europe, with particular weakness in several of the country’s industrial and technology-related companies. Qatar was another detractor as energy market disruption and moderation in sentiment toward Gulf markets broadly weighed on returns there. In addition, Qatar’s equity market is concentrated in energy and financial companies which saw their shares negatively impacted as investors rotated toward faster-growing, more technology-oriented markets.

The Fund's net expense ratio decreased from the prior fiscal year primarily due to an increase in the investment advisory fee waiver, which the Manager applies in an amount equal to the acquired fund fees and expenses attributable to the Fund's investments in affiliated funds, reflecting a greater allocation to BlackRock-managed underlying funds during the current fiscal year.

How did the Fund perform during the period?
-
For the abbreviated reporting period beginning August 5, 2025 and ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 23.34%.
-
For the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net) returned 23.73%.
What contributed to performance?
Positive contributions to performance were led by technology and semiconductor-related companies, along with exposure to the broader digital economy and innovation. Select holdings in health care, industrials and financials also contributed positively. ASML Holding N.V. was the top individual contributor. The Dutch provider of photolithography systems used in manufacturing advanced chips has benefited from surging demand driven by the AI data center buildout. Other leading contributors included Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis AG, Japanese semiconductor test equipment manufacturer Advantest Corp., Japanese electrical equipment manufacturer Fujikura Ltd., and Spanish bank Banco Santander S.A.
What detracted from performance?
Detractors from performance were spread across a range of sectors, reflecting increased stock level performance dispersion over the period rather than weakness in a single area of the market. This occurred against a backdrop of shifting market leadership and periods of investor rotation across growth-oriented, cyclical and more defensive areas. The largest individual detractors included German enterprise software company SAP SE, British multinational information and analytics company RELX Plc, Japanese video game manufacturer Nintendo Co., Ltd., Norwegian fertilizer producer Yara International ASA, and German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall AG.

(based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)
| Fund name | Costs of a $10,000 investment |
Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
| iShares Large Cap Core Active ETF | $38 | 0.33% |
How did the Fund perform last year?
-
For the reporting period ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 30.39%.
-
For the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index returned 18.94%.
What contributed to performance?
Positive contributions to performance were led by stock selection within the information technology sector, most notably a position in Micron Technology, Inc. as the memory chip manufacturer has benefited from surging demand for AI-related memory and data center infrastructure. An overweight in Intel Corp. also boosted returns as investors gained confidence in the company's turnaround efforts and ability to participate in the expanding semiconductor and AI ecosystem. Networking company Ciena Corp. and hard disk drive manufacturer Western Digital Corp. were also beneficiaries of enthusiasm around artificial intelligence. Outside of information technology, stock selection within industrials and consumer discretionary contributed meaningfully.
What detracted from performance?
The largest detractor from performance was stock selection in the financials sector, most notably an overweight position in futures and derivatives exchange CME Group, Inc. as reduced market volatility led investors to temper expectations for future trading activity and earnings growth. Holdings of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc., an operator of financial exchanges, clearing businesses and mortgage technology platforms, detracted as investors rotated away from financial infrastructure companies toward higher-growth areas of the market. Positioning in healthcare equipment & supplies also detracted, most notably positions in medical technology companies Medtronic plc and Boston Scientific Corp. as capital flowed toward industries perceived as more direct beneficiaries of artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure, and accelerating technology spending.

This report describes changes to the Fund that occurred during the reporting period.
What were the Fund costs for the last year?
(based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)
| Fund name | Costs of a $10,000 investment |
Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
| iShares Large Cap Value Active ETF | $51 | 0.45% |
How did the Fund perform last year?
-
For the reporting period ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 25.50%.
-
For the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index returned 18.94%, and the Russell 1000 Value Index returned 31.19%.
What contributed to performance?
Positive contributions to the Fund’s performance were led by the information technology sector, most notably holdings within the technology hardware, storage & peripherals industry. In this vein, data storage device manufacturer Western Digital Corp. highlighted contributions as favorable storage supply-demand dynamics and increasing AI-related infrastructure demand supported pricing and profitability expectations. Technology hardware provider Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. also contributed as AI-related infrastructure demand and strength in its networking segment supported business momentum.
Utilities holdings also generated strong returns, supported by growing electricity demand and increased investment in power generation and grid infrastructure. In particular, exposure to a pair of midwestern utilities, Evergy Inc. and DTE Energy Co., drove performance within the sector. Finally, consumer discretionary holdings performed well, led by the automobile industry where General Motors Co. led contributions.
What detracted from performance?
On the downside, financials and real estate were the only sector-level detractors during the period. Within financials, concerns around AI-related business model disruption weighed on shares of banking software and payment processing provider Fidelity National Information Services. Similarly, sentiment around Intercontinental Exchange Inc., operator of the New York Stock Exchange, was impacted by concerns that AI could disrupt its securities exchange and fixed income data businesses. With respect to real estate, continued elevated interest rates have weighed on the sector broadly. The weakest performance was concentrated in the specialized and industrial REIT industries, with cell tower company Crown Castle Inc. the biggest detractor from Fund returns.

Material Fund changes
This is a summary of certain changes to the Fund since July 31, 2025. For more complete information, you may review the Fund’s next prospectus, which we expect to be available approximately 120 days after July 31, 2026 at blackrock.com/fundreports or upon request by contacting us at (800) 474-2737.
On February 27, 2026, the Predecessor Fund and CornerCap Fundametrics® Large-Cap ETF, a series of Advisor Managed Portfolios, were reorganized into the Fund as part of the Reorganization. Prior to the Reorganization, the Fund had not yet commenced operations. Following the Reorganization, as of March 2, 2026, the Fund changed its name from iShares Large Cap Value Active ETF II to iShares Large Cap Value Active ETF.
In connection with the Reorganization, the Fund’s Board approved an investment advisory agreement for the Fund, pursuant to which BlackRock Fund Advisors is paid a management fee from the Fund at an annual rate of 0.45% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Fund's net expense ratio decreased from the prior fiscal year end primarily due to a change in the Fund’s expense structure in connection with the Reorganization.
As of June 2, 2026, the Fund changed its classification from “non-diversified” to “diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. As a result of this change, the Fund removed the risk factor entitled "Non-Diversification Risk" from its prospectus.

Annual Shareholder Report — July 31, 2026

This annual shareholder report contains important information about iShares U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF (the “Fund”) (formerly known as BlackRock U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness ETF) for the period of August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2026. You can find additional information about the Fund at blackrock.com/fundreports. You can also request this information by contacting us at (800) 474‑2737.

What were the Fund costs for the last year?
(based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)
| Fund name | Costs of a $10,000 investment |
Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
| iShares U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF | $15 | 0.14% |
How did the Fund perform last year?
-
For the reporting period ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 17.60%.
-
For the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index returned 18.94%.
What contributed to performance?
At a time of positive returns for the broader market, all eleven sectors contributed to the Fund’s absolute performance. Holdings in information technology made the largest contribution due to the combination of the sector’s sizable portfolio weighting and robust total return. Apple, Inc. was the top contributor in both the sector and the portfolio as a whole. A number of semiconductor stocks further helped results, led by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Micron Technology, Inc., and NVIDIA Corp., among others. Healthcare was the second-largest contributor, highlighted by a strong gain for Eli Lilly & Co., Inc. The Fund’s holdings in industrials and financials also performed very well and had a meaningful influence on results. RTX Corp. and Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. were the leading contributors in the two sectors, respectively.
What detracted from performance?
The strong performance for more carbon-intensive energy and materials stocks was a headwind for the Fund given its emphasis on lower-carbon companies.
Although no sector finished the annual period with a negative return, certain individual holdings—including Meta Platforms, Inc., Microsoft Corp., and Netflix, Inc.—lost ground and hurt the Fund’s performance.

On February 19, 2026, the Fund’s Board approved certain changes to the Fund’s investment strategy and investment process. Effective April 24, 2026, under the Fund’s revised investment strategy, although a majority of the Low Carbon Economy Transition Readiness score will be comprised of environmental considerations, the score will also incorporate social and governance considerations, as well as certain non-sustainability signals, including financial signals. The weighting of these inputs is determined and dynamically adjusted by BlackRock Fund Advisors based on their assessed relative importance and prevailing market conditions.
On February 20, 2025, the Fund’s Board approved a change in the name of BlackRock U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness ETF to iShares U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF. This change became effective on November 21, 2025.
Also on February 20, 2025, the Fund’s Board approved a change in the Fund's principal investment strategies. Under Fund’s revised strategies, investments in derivatives are counted toward the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities of issuers listed in the United States of America to the extent that such derivatives provide investment exposure to the securities included within that policy or to one or more market risk factors associated with such securities. Additionally, under the Fund’s revised strategies, the Fund seeks to maintain a Low Carbon Economy Transition Readiness score that is at least 10% better than that of the Russell 1000 Index.

| Fund name | Costs of a $10,000 investment |
Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
| iShares U.S. Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF | $29 | 0.26% |
How did the Fund perform last year?
-
For the reporting period ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 21.46%.
-
For the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI USA Index returned 19.09%.
What contributed to performance?
Positive contributions to performance were led by holdings of several U.S. mega-cap and technology-related companies which experienced strong earnings supported by ongoing investment in AI and digital infrastructure. Holdings of Apple Inc. highlighted contributions as the iPhone manufacturer benefited from a successful product upgrade and investors rewarded the company’s disciplined approach to spending on AI. Shares of Google parent Alphabet Inc. rose sharply as investors viewed the company’s elevated infrastructure spending as vindicated by its enormous cloud services order backlog. Memory chip manufacturer Micron Technology, Inc., networking equipment provider Cisco Systems, Inc. and semiconductor manufacturing equipment provider Applied Materials, Inc. all saw surging demand driven by the AI infrastructure buildout.
What detracted from performance?
On the downside, the Fund’s largest detractors included social media giant Meta Platforms Inc., hyperscaler and enterprise software provider Microsoft Corp., streaming services company Netflix Inc., data analytics software provider Palantir Technologies Inc., and customer relationship management software firm Salesforce Inc. While AI remained an important driver of broader market performance, returns across growth and technology-related companies became increasingly differentiated as market leadership shifted and investors became more selective. In this vein, perceived risk from AI-related business model disruption weighed on holdings of software companies held in the Fund.

-
For the reporting period ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 20.90%.
-
For the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI USA Index returned 19.09%.
What contributed to performance?
Positions in the semiconductor industry made the largest contribution to performance, led by Micron Technology, Inc. and NVIDIA Corp. Semiconductor companies continued to deliver strong results, fueled by AI-linked chip demand and investments in AI infrastructure.
Holdings in the technology hardware, storage, & peripherals industry also contributed. Apple, Inc., which continued to demonstrate durable earnings, was the leading individual contributor.
Interactive media & services, where shares of Google parent Alphabet, Inc. rallied on the strength of the AI boom, was a further contributor of note.
What detracted from performance?
Software was the largest detractor, as the industry lagged considerably due to concerns about AI displacement. Microsoft Corp. was the most significant individual detractor in the category.
The entertainment industry also weighed on performance. Changing consumer spending patterns and increased competition for audience engagement caused companies to experience slowing revenue projections.
Professional services, which suffered from concerns about displacement from the rise of AI technology, was an additional detractor.

| Fund name | Costs of a $10,000 investment |
Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
| iShares U.S. Thematic Rotation Active ETF | $60 | 0.55% |
How did the Fund perform last year?
-
For the reporting period ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 18.21%.
-
For the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index returned 19.56%.
What contributed to performance?
Positive contributions to performance were led by holdings of several U.S. mega-cap and technology-related companies which experienced strong earnings supported by ongoing investment in AI and digital infrastructure. Holdings of Apple Inc. highlighted contributions as the iPhone manufacturer benefited from a successful product upgrade and investors rewarded the company’s disciplined approach to spending on AI. Memory chip manufacturer Micron Technology, Inc. saw surging demand driven by the AI infrastructure buildout. Shares of Google parent Alphabet Inc. rose sharply as investors viewed the company’s elevated spending as vindicated by its enormous cloud services order backlog. Semiconductor company Intel Corp. also outperformed on a turnaround story and strong AI-related demand for its chips featuring advanced processing speed.
What detracted from performance?
Detractors were spread across a range of industries, reflecting greater stock-level performance dispersion over the period rather than weakness in a single area of the market. Holdings that had the biggest negative impact on performance included social media giant Meta Platforms Inc., cloud services and enterprise software company Microsoft Corp., medical device manufacturer Boston Scientific Corp., cybersecurity software provider Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., and electronic vehicle and satellite technology provider Tesla Inc. Perceived risk from AI-related business model disruption weighed on software companies held in the Fund. Boston Scientific has faced increasing competitive pressure and lower standalone usage for its industry-leading Watchman heart implant device, leading management to reduce forward guidance and analysts to revise outlooks downward.

Annual Shareholder Report — July 31, 2026

This annual shareholder report contains important information about iShares World ex U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF (the “Fund”) (formerly known as BlackRock World ex U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness ETF) for the period of August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2026. You can find additional information about the Fund at blackrock.com/fundreports. You can also request this information by contacting us at (800) 474‑2737.
This report describes changes to the Fund that occurred during the reporting period.
What were the Fund costs for the last year?
(based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)
| Fund name | Costs of a $10,000 investment |
Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
| iShares World ex U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF | $23 | 0.21% |
How did the Fund perform last year?
-
For the reporting period ended July 31, 2026, the Fund returned 22.03%.
-
For the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI World ex USA Index (Net) returned 25.00%.
What contributed to performance?
At a time of positive returns for the broader market, ten of eleven sectors contributed to the Fund’s absolute performance. Holdings in financials made the largest contribution due to the combination of the sector’s sizable portfolio weighting and robust total return. HSBC Holdings PLC, Royal Bank of Canada, and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce were the leading contributors in the sector. Information technology was the second-largest contributor, highlighted by strong gains for the semiconductor stocks ASML Holding NV and Advantest Corp. The Fund’s holdings in industrials also had a meaningful, positive influence on results, led by the European companies Siemens AG and Schneider Electric SE.
What detracted from performance?
The strong performance for more carbon-intensive energy and materials stocks was a headwind for the Fund given its emphasis on lower-carbon companies.
Communication services was the only sector in which the Fund’s holdings finished the period with a negative absolute return. Autotrader Group PLC was the largest detractor, followed by Telus Corp. and Nintendo Co., Ltd. Outside of communication services, the largest detractors were the German enterprise software provider SAP SE, the Canadian infrastructure firm WSP Global, Inc., and the U.K. IT services company RELX PLC.

1 The nature of the services includes assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements not included in Audit Fees, including accounting consultations, agreed-upon procedure reports, attestation reports, comfort letters, out-of-pocket expenses and internal control reviews not required by regulators.
2 The nature of the services includes tax compliance and/or tax preparation, including services relating to the filing or amendment of federal, state or local income tax returns, regulated investment company qualification reviews, taxable income and tax distribution calculations.
3 Aggregate fees borne by BlackRock in connection with the review of compliance procedures and attestation thereto performed by PwC with respect to all of the registered closed-end funds and some of the registered open-end funds advised by BlackRock.
(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
The Committee has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the Investment Adviser and Affiliated Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are (a) consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s auditor independence rules and (b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.
Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this
meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.
(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not Applicable
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees, defined as the sum of the fees shown under “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees” and “All Other Fees,” paid to the accountant for services rendered by the accountant to the registrant, the Investment Adviser and the Affiliated Service Providers were:

(h) The Committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Investment Adviser and the Affiliated Service Providers that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Funds may invest in various derivative financial instruments. These instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, commodity, index, market, and/or other assets without owning or taking physical custody of securities, commodities and/or other referenced assets or to manage market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments may give rise to a form of economic leverage and involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the instrument. Pursuant to Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, among other things, the Funds must either use derivative financial instruments with embedded leverage in a limited manner or comply with an outer limit on fund leverage risk based on value-at-risk. The Funds' successful use of a derivative financial instrument depends on the investment adviser's ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of these instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may limit the amount of appreciation the Funds can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to shareholders.

The Funds, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA” or the “Manager”) or its affiliates, are included in a complex of open-end equity, multi-asset, index and money market funds referred to as the BlackRock Multi-Asset Complex.
On February 19, 2026, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board") approved certain changes to the iShares U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF's investment strategy and investment process. Effective April 24, 2026, under the Fund's revised investment strategy, although a majority of the Low Carbon Economy Transition Readiness score will be comprised of environmental considerations, the score will also incorporate social and governance considerations, as well as certain non-sustainability signals, including financial signals. The weighting of these inputs is determined and dynamically adjusted by BFA based on their assessed relative importance and prevailing market conditions. On February 20, 2025, the Fund's Board approved a change in the Fund's principal investment strategies. Under Fund's revised strategies, which went into effect on November 21, 2025, investments in derivatives are counted toward the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities of issuers listed in the United States of America to the extent that such derivatives provide investment exposure to the securities included within that policy or to one or more market risk factors associated with such securities. Additionally, under the Fund's revised strategies, the Fund seeks to maintain a Low Carbon Economy Transition Readiness score that is at least 10% better than that of the Russell 1000 Index.

Under Fund's revised strategies, which went into effect on November 21, 2025, the Fund seeks to maintain a Low Carbon Economy Transition Readiness score that is at least 10% better than that of the MSCI World ex USA Index.
Reorganization: The Board, on behalf of iShares Large Cap Value Active ETF (“Predecessor Fund”), which is a series of the Trust, approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, pursuant to which the Predecessor Fund reorganized into iShares Large Cap Value Active ETF II (the “Acquiring Fund”). The Board, the Board of Trustees of Advisor Managed Portfolios (the “AMP Trust”), and shareholders of CornerCap Fundametrics® Large-Cap ETF (the “Target Fund”), which was a series of the AMP Trust, have approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, pursuant to which the Target Fund reorganized into the Acquiring Fund (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization was completed as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on February 27, 2026.
The Acquiring Fund was a newly-formed “shell” fund that had not commenced operations prior to the Reorganization and therefore did not have performance history prior to the Reorganization. As a result, the Acquiring Fund acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of the Predecessor Fund and the Target Fund. In connection with the Reorganization, shareholders of the Predecessor Fund and the Target Fund received newly-issued shares of the Acquiring Fund, including a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares of the respective fund, which cash payment may be taxable. Following the Reorganization, the Board approved a change in the name of the Acquiring Fund to iShares Large Cap Value Active ETF and the Acquiring Fund assumed the performance and financial history of the Predecessor Fund upon completion of the Reorganization.
The Reorganization of the Predecessor Fund into the Acquiring Fund was accomplished by a 1:1 tax-free exchange of shares of the Acquiring Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The Reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares of the Acquiring Fund in the following amounts and at the following conversion ratio:
| Target Fund |
Shares Prior to Reorganization |
Conversion Ratio |
Shares of Acquiring Fund |
| CornerCap Fundametrics® Large-Cap ETF |
4,290,000 |
1.28457615 |
5,510,831 |
The Target Fund’s net assets and composition of net assets on February 27, 2026, the valuation date of the Reorganization, were as follows:
| Net assets |
$211,628,143 |
| Paid-in-capital |
170,264,861 |
| Accumulated gain |
41,363,282 |
For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Fund were recorded at fair value. However, the cost basis of the investments received from the Target Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquiring Fund had not yet commenced operations and had no assets or liabilities. The Target Fund’s fair value and cost of financial instruments prior to the Reorganization were as follows:
| Target Fund |
Fair Value of Investments |
Cost of Investments |
| CornerCap Fundametrics®Large-Cap ETF |
$210,484,584 |
$161,535,790 |
The Predecessor Fund has identical investment objectives, fundamental investment policies and investment strategies as the Acquiring Fund. The purpose of the Reorganization was to increase the potential of gathering additional assets, achieving greater scale, as well as increasing the liquidity of its shares on the secondary market. The Reorganization was a tax-free event and became effective on February 27, 2026.
Assuming the Reorganization had been completed on August 1, 2025, the beginning of the fiscal reporting period of the Acquiring Fund, the pro forma results of operations for the period ended July 31, 2026, were as follows:
• Net investment income: $5,180,248
• Net realized and change in unrealized gain/loss on investments: $66,620,474
• Net increase in net assets resulting from operations: $71,800,722
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the Reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Target Fund that have been included in the Acquiring Fund’s Statements of Operations since March 2, 2026.
Certain costs incurred in connection with the Reorganization were expensed by the Target Fund.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. Below is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are executed. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date at fair value. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax at various rates may be imposed on capital gains, dividends and interest. Upon notification from issuers or as estimated by management, a portion of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized daily on an accrual basis.
For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions for the International Country Rotation Active ETF are recorded on the dates the transactions are executed. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Dividend income and capital gain distributions from the underlying funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized daily on an accrual basis.
Foreign Currency Translation: Each Fund's books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Purchases and sales of investments
69
2026 BlackRock Annual Financial Statements and Additional Information
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the investments denominated in that currency will lose value; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value.
Each Fund does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of investments for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the effects of changes in exchange rates on investments are not segregated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those investments, but are included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments. Each Fund reports realized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency related transactions as components of net realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are generally treated as ordinary income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, each of the currency hedged funds has elected to treat realized gains (losses) from certain foreign currency contracts as capital gain (loss) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Foreign Taxes: Certain Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, capital gains on investments, or certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which each Fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by each Fund and are reflected in its Statements of Operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a reduction of income, foreign taxes on securities lending income are presented as a reduction of securities lending income, foreign taxes on stock dividends are presented as “Foreign taxes withheld”, and foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign taxes on foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of July 31, 2026, if any, are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Consistent with U.S. GAAP accrual requirements, for uncertain tax positions, each Fund recognizes tax reclaims when the Fund determines that it is more likely than not that the Fund will sustain its position that it is due the reclaim.
Certain Funds file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Funds may record a reclaim receivable based on collectability, which includes factors such as the jurisdiction’s applicable laws, payment history and market convention. The Statements of Operations include tax reclaims recorded as well as professional and other fees, if any, associated with recovery of foreign withholding taxes.
Cash: The Funds may maintain cash at their custodian, which at times may exceed United States federally insured limits. The Funds may, at times, have outstanding cash disbursements that exceed deposited cash amounts at the custodian during the reporting period. The Funds are obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses, where applicable. For financial reporting purposes, overdraft fees, if any, are included in interest expense in the Statements of Operations.
Collateralization: If required by an exchange or counterparty agreement, the Funds may be required to deliver/deposit cash and/or securities to/with an exchange, or broker-dealer or custodian as collateral for certain investments.
In-kind Redemptions: For financial reporting purposes, in-kind redemptions are treated as sales of securities resulting in realized capital gains or losses to the Funds. Because such gains or losses are not taxable to the Funds and are not distributed to existing Fund shareholders, the gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated net realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital at the end of the Funds’ tax year. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value (“NAV”) per share.
Distributions: Dividends and distributions paid by each Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Dividends and distributions are paid in U.S. dollars and cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Funds.
Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Funds, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Segment Reporting: The Chief Financial Officer acts as the Funds’ Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and is responsible for assessing performance and allocating resources with respect to each Fund. The CODM has concluded that each Fund operates as a single operating segment since each Fund has a single investment strategy as disclosed in its prospectus, against which the CODM assesses performance. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is presented within each Fund’s financial statements.
Recent Accounting Standard: The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) during the period. ASU 2023-09 enhances income tax disclosures, including disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The Funds’ adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on financial statement disclosures and did not affect each Fund’s financial position or results of operations.
3. INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Investment Valuation Policies: Each Fund’s investments are valued at fair value (also referred to as “market value” within the financial statements) each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) of each Fund has approved the designation of BFA, the Funds' investment adviser, as the valuation designee for each Fund. Each Fund determines the fair values of its financial instruments using various independent dealers or pricing services under BFA’s policies. If a security’s market price is not readily available or does not otherwise accurately represent the fair value of the security, the security will be valued in accordance with BFA’s policies and procedures as reflecting fair value. BFA has formed a committee (the “Valuation Committee”) to develop pricing policies and procedures and to oversee the pricing function for all financial instruments, with assistance from other BlackRock pricing committees.
Notes to Financial Statements
70
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Fair Value Inputs and Methodologies: The following methods and inputs are used to establish the fair value of each Fund’s assets and liabilities:
• Equity investments (except ETF options, equity index options or those that are customized) traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded or, if a reported closing price is not available, the last traded price on the exchange or market on which the security or instrument is primarily traded at the time of valuation or last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price.
• Shares of underlying exchange-traded closed-end funds or other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) are valued at their most recent closing price. ETFs and closed-end funds traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last trade or last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price.
• Investments in open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s NAV.
• Futures contracts are valued based on that day’s last reported settlement or trade price on the exchange where the contract is traded.
• Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined as of the close of trading on the NYSE based on that day’s prevailing forward exchange rate for the underlying currencies.
Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Each business day, the Funds use current market factors supplied by independent pricing services to value certain foreign instruments (“Systematic Fair Value Price”). The Systematic Fair Value Price is designed to value such foreign securities at fair value as of the close of trading on the NYSE, which occurs after the close of the local markets.
If events (e.g., market volatility, company announcement or a natural disaster) occur that are expected to materially affect the value of such investment, or in the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Valuation Committee in accordance with BFA’s policies and procedures as reflecting fair value (“Fair Valued Investments”). The fair valuation approaches that may be used by the Valuation Committee include market approach, income approach and cost approach. Valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow, use of market comparables and matrix pricing are types of valuation approaches and are typically used in determining fair value. When determining the price for Fair Valued Investments, the Valuation Committee seeks to determine the price that each Fund might reasonably expect to receive or pay from the current sale or purchase of that asset or liability in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Valuation Committee deems relevant and consistent with the principles of fair value measurement as of the measurement date.
For investments in equity or debt issued by privately held companies or funds (“Private Company” or collectively, the “Private Companies”) and other Fair Valued Investments, the fair valuation approaches that are used by the Valuation Committee and third-party pricing services utilized by the Valuation Committee include one or a combination of, but not limited to, the following inputs:
(i) recent market transactions, including secondary market transactions, merger or acquisition activity and subsequent rounds of financing in the underlying investment or comparable issuers
(ii) recapitalizations and other transactions across the capital structure
(iii) market or relevant indices multiples of comparable issuers
(iv) future cash flows discounted to present and adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, and/or market risks
(v) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets
(vi) other risk factors, such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts and/or default rates
(vii) audited or unaudited financial statements, investor communications and Private Company financial or operational metrics
(viii) relevant market news and other public sources.
Investments in series of preferred stock issued by Private Companies are typically valued utilizing a market approach to determine the enterprise value of the company. Such investments often contain rights and preferences that differ from other series of preferred and common stock of the same issuer. Enterprise valuation techniques such as an option pricing model (“OPM”), a probability weighted expected return model (“PWERM”), current value method or a hybrid of those techniques are used as deemed appropriate under the circumstances. The use of these valuation techniques involves a determination of the exit scenarios of the investment in order to appropriately allocate the enterprise value of the company among the various parts of its capital structure.
Private Companies are not subject to public company disclosure, timing, and reporting standards applicable to other investments held by a Fund. Certain information made available by a Private Company is as of a date that is earlier than the date a Fund is calculating its NAV. This factor may result in a difference between the value of the investment and the price a Fund could receive upon the sale of the investment.
Fair Value Hierarchy: Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments at the measurement date. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:
71
2026 BlackRock Annual Financial Statements and Additional Information
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
• Level 1 – Unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges that each Fund has the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities;
• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
• Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable and significant to the entire fair value measurement for the asset or liability (including the Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of financial instruments).
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs used by the Valuation Committee in determining the price for Fair Valued Investments. Level 3 investments include equity or debt issued by Private Companies that may not have a secondary market and/or may have a limited number of investors. The categorization of a value determined for financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
Warrants: Warrants entitle a fund to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock and are non-income producing. The purchase price and number of shares are subject to adjustment under certain conditions until the expiration date of the warrants, if any. If the price of the underlying stock does not rise above the strike price before the warrant expires, the warrant generally expires without any value and a fund will lose any amount it paid for the warrant. Thus, investments in warrants may involve more risk than investments in common stock. Warrants may trade in the same markets as their underlying stock; however, the price of the warrant does not necessarily move with the price of the underlying stock.
Securities Lending: Each Fund may lend its securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by an approved bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. The initial collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund or excess collateral is returned by the Fund, on the next business day. During the term of the loan, each Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities but does not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.
As of period end, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. Government obligations. Cash collateral invested in money market funds managed by BFA, or its affiliates is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold, re-invested or pledged by the Fund, except in the event of borrower default. The securities on loan, if any, are also disclosed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. The market value of any securities on loan and the value of any related cash collateral are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (each, an “MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Funds, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. When the value of the collateral is greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, the lender is left with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, absent an event of default, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Funds can reinvest cash collateral received in connection with loaned securities. Upon an event of default, the parties’ obligations to return the securities or collateral to the other party are extinguished, and the parties can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities or the collateral received in connection with the loaned securities in order to satisfy the defaulting party’s net payment obligation for all transactions under the MSLA. The defaulting party remains liable for any deficiency.
As of period end, the following table is a summary of the securities on loan by counterparty which are subject to offset under an MSLA:

Collateral received, if any, in excess of the market value of securities on loan is not presented in this table. The total cash collateral received by each Fund is disclosed in the Fund’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities. |
The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, each Fund benefits from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock Finance, Inc. BlackRock Finance, Inc.'s indemnity allows for full replacement of the securities loaned to the extent the collateral received does not cover the value of the securities loaned in the event of borrower default. Each Fund could incur a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of the loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received. Such losses are borne entirely by each Fund.
5. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Funds engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts to increase the returns of the Funds and/or to manage their exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk or other risks (e.g., inflation risk). Derivative financial instruments categorized by risk exposure are included in the Schedules of Investments. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (“OTC”).
Futures Contracts: Futures contracts are purchased or sold to gain exposure to, or manage exposure to, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk) and changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk).
Futures contracts are exchange-traded agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and on a specified date. Depending on the terms of a contract, it is settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash amount on the settlement date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on a contract’s size and risk profile. The initial margin deposit must then be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Amounts pledged, which are considered restricted, are included in cash pledged for futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited, if any, are shown as cash pledged for futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Pursuant to the contract, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in market value of the contract (“variation margin”). Variation margin is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable (or payable) on futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statements of Operations equal to the difference between the notional amount of the contract at the time it was opened and the notional amount at the time it was closed. The use of futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts and interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or underlying assets.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are entered into to gain or reduce exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk).
A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a specified date. These contracts help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments held by the Funds are denominated and in some cases, may be used to obtain exposure to a particular market. The contracts are traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) and not on an organized exchange.
The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statements of Operations equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies, and such value may exceed the amount(s) reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Cash amounts pledged for forward foreign currency exchange contracts are considered restricted and are included in cash pledged as collateral for OTC derivatives in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund.
Master Netting Arrangements: In order to define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of
Notes to Financial Statements

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency, or other events.
For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement, and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a fund and the counterparty.
Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Funds, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty is subject to a certain minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of business of the Funds. Any additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Funds on the next business day. Typically, the counterparty is not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use cash and non-cash collateral it receives. A fund generally agrees not to use non-cash collateral that it receives but may, absent default or certain other circumstances defined in the underlying ISDA Master Agreement, be permitted to use cash collateral received. In such cases, interest may be paid pursuant to the collateral arrangement with the counterparty. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from the counterparty are not fully collateralized, each Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. Likewise, to the extent the Funds have delivered collateral to a counterparty and stand ready to perform under the terms of their agreement with such counterparty, each Fund bears the risk of loss from a counterparty in the amount of the value of the collateral in the event the counterparty fails to return such collateral. Based on the terms of agreements, collateral may not be required for all derivative contracts.
For financial reporting purposes, each Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Sub-Adviser: BFA has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock International Limited (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of BFA, under which BFA pays the Sub-Adviser for services it provides to each of the FinTech Active, International Country Rotation Active, U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active and World ex U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active.
Distributor: BlackRock Investments, LLC ("BRIL"), an affiliate of BFA, is the distributor for each Fund. Pursuant to the distribution agreement, BFA is responsible for any fees or expenses for distribution services provided to the Funds.
ETF Servicing Fees: Each Fund has entered into an ETF Services Agreement with BRIL to perform certain order processing, Authorized Participant communications, and related services in connection with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units (“ETF Services”). BRIL is entitled to a transaction fee from Authorized Participants on each creation or redemption order for the ETF Services provided. The Funds do not pay BRIL for ETF Services.
Securities Lending: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending, including any custodial costs. Each Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan (the “collateral investment fees”). The cash collateral is invested in a money market fund, BlackRock Cash Funds: Institutional or BlackRock Cash Funds: Treasury, managed by BFA, or its affiliates. However, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees each Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04%. The SL Agency Shares of such money market fund will not be subject to a sales load, distribution fee or service fee. BlackRock Cash Funds: Institutional may impose a discretionary liquidity fee of up to 2% on all redemptions. Discretionary liquidity fees may be imposed or terminated at any time at the discretion of the board of directors of the money market fund, or its delegate, if it is determined that such fee would be, or would not be, respectively, in the best interest of the money market fund. Additionally, BlackRock Cash Funds: Institutional will impose a mandatory liquidity fee if the money market fund's total net redemptions on a single day exceed 5% of the money market fund's net assets, unless the amount of the fee is less than 0.01% of the value of the shares redeemed. BlackRock Cash Funds: Institutional will determine the size of the mandatory liquidity fee by making a good faith estimate of certain costs the money market fund would incur if it were to sell a pro rata amount of each security in the portfolio to satisfy the amount of net redemptions on that day. There is no limit to the size of a mandatory liquidity fee. If BlackRock Cash Funds: Institutional cannot estimate the costs of selling a pro rata amount of each portfolio security in good faith and supported by data, it is required to apply a default liquidity fee of 1% on the value of shares redeemed on that day.
Securities lending income is generally equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral (and excludes collateral investment fees), and any fees or other payments to and from borrowers of securities. Each Fund retains a portion of the securities lending income and remits the remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.
Pursuant to the securities lending agreement effective as of January 1, 2026, each of FinTech Active, Health Innovation Active, Large Cap Core Active, Large Cap Value Active, U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active, U.S. Equity Factor Rotation Active, U.S. Industry Rotation Active and U.S. Thematic Rotation Active (the “Group 1 Funds”), retains 81% of securities lending income (which excludes collateral investment fees), and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
Pursuant to the securities lending agreement effective as of January 1, 2026, each of International Country Rotation Active, International Equity Factor Rotation Active and World ex U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active (the “Group 2 Funds”), retains 82% of securities lending income (which excludes collateral investment fees), and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.
In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across the BlackRock Multi-Asset Complex in a given calendar year exceeds a specific threshold: (1) each Group 1 Fund, pursuant to the securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of that calendar year 84% of securities lending income (which excludes collateral investment fees), and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees, and (2) each Group 2 Fund will retain for the remainder of that calendar year 85% of securities lending income (which excludes collateral investment fees), and this amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.

8. INCOME TAX INFORMATION
Each Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no U.S. federal income tax provision is required.
Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Funds as of July 31, 2026, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Funds’ financial statements. Management’s analysis is based on the tax laws and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of these financial statements, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, which may impact the Funds’ NAV.
U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. As of July 31, 2026, permanent differences attributable to nondeductible expenses, distributions in connection with fund share redemptions and realized gains (losses) from in-kind redemptions were reclassified to the following accounts:
| Fund Name |
Paid-in Capital |
Accumulated Earnings (Loss) |
| FinTech Active |

9. LINE OF CREDIT
The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), is party to a 364-day, $2.40 billion credit agreement with a group of lenders. Under this agreement, the Funds may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. Excluding commitments designated for certain individual funds, the Participating Funds, including the Funds, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $1.75 billion at any time outstanding, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.10% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) one-month Overnight Bank Funding Rate (“OBFR”) (but in any event, not less than 0.00%) on the date the loan is made plus 0.80% per annum, (b) the Fed Funds rate (but in any event, not less than 0.00%) in effect from time to time plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed or (c) the sum of (x) Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (but in any event, not less than 0.00%) on the date the loan is made plus 0.10% and (y) 0.80% per annum. The agreement expires in April 2027 unless extended or renewed. These fees were allocated among such funds based upon portions of the aggregate commitment available to them and relative net assets of Participating Funds. During the year ended July 31, 2026, the Funds did not borrow under the credit agreement.
10. PRINCIPAL RISKS
In the normal course of business, each Fund invests in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject each Fund to various risks, including, among others, fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations. The value of securities or other instruments may also be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social instability; (iii) regulation, taxation, tariffs or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate or price fluctuations. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Funds and their investments. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of the risks to which the Fund is subject.
The Funds may be exposed to additional risks when reinvesting cash collateral in money market funds that do not seek to maintain a stable NAV per share of $1.00, which may be subject to mandatory and discretionary liquidity fees under certain circumstances.
Valuation Risk: The market values of equities, such as common stocks and preferred securities or equity related investments, such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries. A Fund may invest in illiquid investments. An illiquid investment is any investment that a Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. A Fund may experience difficulty in selling illiquid investments in a timely manner at the price that it believes the investments are worth. Prices may fluctuate widely over short or extended periods in response to company, market or economic news. Markets also tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. This volatility may cause each Fund’s NAV to experience significant increases or decreases over short periods of time. If there is a general decline in the securities and other markets, the NAV of a Fund may lose value, regardless of the individual results of the securities and other instruments in which a Fund invests. A Fund’s ability to value its investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third-party service providers.
The price each Fund could receive upon the sale of any particular portfolio investment may differ from each Fund’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair valuation technique or a price provided by an independent pricing service. Changes to significant unobservable inputs and assumptions (i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit) due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore each Fund’s results of operations. As a result, the price received upon the sale of an investment may be less than the value ascribed by each Fund, and each Fund could realize a greater than expected loss or lesser than expected gain upon the sale of the investment.
Counterparty Credit Risk: The Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments related to unsettled or open transactions, including making timely interest and/or principal payments or otherwise honoring its obligations. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that BFA believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and
83
2026 BlackRock Annual Financial Statements and Additional Information
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is approximately their value recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.
A derivative contract may suffer a mark-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
With exchange-traded futures, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Funds since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, a Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency). Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange-traded futures with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Funds.
Geographic/Asset Class Risk: A diversified portfolio, where this is appropriate and consistent with a fund’s objectives, minimizes the risk that a price change of a particular investment will have a material impact on the NAV of a fund. The investment concentrations within each Fund’s portfolio are disclosed in its Schedule of Investments.
Certain Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in securities of issuers located in Europe or with significant exposure to European issuers or countries. The European financial markets have recently experienced volatility and adverse trends due to concerns about economic downturns in, or rising government debt levels of, several European countries as well as acts of war in the region. These events may spread to other countries in Europe and may affect the value and liquidity of certain of the Funds’ investments.
Responses to the financial problems by European governments, central banks and others, including austerity measures and reforms, may not work, may result in social unrest and may limit future growth and economic recovery or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and others of their debt could have additional adverse effects on economies, financial markets and asset valuations around the world. The United Kingdom has withdrawn from the European Union, and one or more other countries may withdraw from the European Union and/or abandon the Euro, the common currency of the European Union. These events and actions have adversely affected, and may in the future adversely affect, the value and exchange rate of the Euro and may continue to significantly affect the economies of every country in Europe, including countries that do not use the Euro and non-European Union member states. The impact of these actions, especially if they occur in a disorderly fashion, is not clear but could be significant and far reaching. In addition, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The extent and duration of the military action, resulting sanctions and resulting future market disruptions in the region are impossible to predict, but have been, and may continue to be, significant and have a severe adverse effect on the region, including significant negative impacts on the economy and the markets for certain securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas, as well as other sectors.
Certain Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in securities within a single or limited number of market sectors. When a fund concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, regulatory, political and social conditions affecting such sectors may have a significant impact on the Fund and could affect the income from, or the value or liquidity of, the Fund’s portfolio. Investment percentages in specific sectors are presented in the Schedule of Investments.
Significant Shareholder Redemption Risk: Certain shareholders may own or manage a substantial amount of fund shares and/or hold their fund investments for a limited period of time. Large redemptions of fund shares by these shareholders may force a fund to sell portfolio securities, which may negatively impact the fund’s NAV, increase the fund’s brokerage costs, and/or accelerate the realization of taxable income/gains and cause the fund to make additional taxable distributions to shareholders.
11. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS
Capital shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”) at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable.

Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator or BRIL, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. Authorized Participants transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for certain transaction costs (i.e., stamp taxes, taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in shares sold in the table above.
To the extent applicable, to facilitate the timely settlement of orders for the Funds using a clearing facility outside of the continuous net settlement process, the Funds, at their sole discretion, may permit an Authorized Participant to post cash as collateral in anticipation of the delivery of all or a portion of the applicable Deposit Securities or Fund Securities, as further described in the applicable Authorized Participant Agreement. The collateral process is subject to a Control Agreement among the Authorized Participant, each Fund’s custodian, and the Funds. In the event that the Authorized Participant fails to deliver all or a portion of the applicable Deposit Securities or Fund Securities, the Fund may exercise control over such collateral pursuant to the terms of the Control Agreement in order to purchase the applicable Deposit Securities or Fund Securities.
From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind transactions are reflected as a receivable or a payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
12. FOREIGN WITHHOLDING TAX CLAIMS
The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has issued guidance to address U.S. income tax liabilities attributable to fund shareholders resulting from the recovery of foreign taxes withheld in prior calendar years. These withheld foreign taxes were passed through to shareholders in the form of foreign tax credits in the year the taxes were withheld. Assuming there are sufficient foreign taxes paid which World ex U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active is able to pass through to shareholders as a foreign tax credit in the current year, the Fund, will be able to offset the prior years’ withholding taxes recovered against the foreign taxes paid in the current year. Accordingly, no federal income tax liability is recorded by the Fund.
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or additional disclosure in the financial statements.

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”, the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of BlackRock ETF Trust (the “Trust”) met on April 22, 2026 (the “April Meeting”) and May 19-20, 2026 (the “May Meeting”) to consider the approval to continue the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of iShares U.S. Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (“U.S. Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF”), iShares U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF (“U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF”), iShares World ex U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF (“World ex U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF”), iShares FinTech Active ETF (“FinTech Active ETF”), iShares Health Innovation Active ETF (“Health Innovation Active ETF”), iShares Large Cap Core Active ETF (“Large Cap Core Active ETF”), iShares Large Cap Value Active ETF (“Large Cap Value Active ETF”), iShares U.S. Industry Rotation Active ETF (“U.S. Industry Rotation Active ETF”), iShares U.S. Thematic Rotation Active ETF (“U.S. Thematic Rotation Active ETF”) and iShares International Country Rotation Active ETF (“International Country Rotation Active ETF” and, together with U.S. Thematic Rotation Active ETF, U.S. Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF, U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF, World ex U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF, FinTech Active ETF, Health Innovation Active ETF, Large Cap Core Active ETF, Large Cap Value Active ETF and U.S. Industry Rotation Active ETF, the “Funds” and each, a “Fund”), and BlackRock Fund Advisors (the “Manager”), each Fund’s investment advisor. The Board also considered the approval to continue (i) the sub-advisory agreement between the Manager and BlackRock International Limited (the “Sub-Advisor”) with respect to U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF (the “U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF Sub-Advisory Agreement”); (ii) the sub-advisory agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor with respect to World ex U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF (the “World ex U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF Sub-Advisory Agreement”); (iii) the sub-advisory agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor with respect to FinTech Active ETF (the “FinTech Active ETF Sub-Advisory Agreement”); and (iv) the sub-advisory agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor with respect to International Country Rotation Active ETF (the “International Country Rotation Active ETF Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF Sub-Advisory Agreement, the World ex U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF Sub-Advisory Agreement and the FinTech Active ETF Sub-Advisory Agreement, the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”). The Manager and the Sub-Advisor are referred to herein as “BlackRock”. The Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to herein as the “Agreements”.
The Approval Process
Consistent with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board considers the approval of the continuation of the Agreements for each Fund on an annual basis. The Board Members who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act, are considered independent Board Members (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board’s consideration entailed a year-long deliberative process during which the Board and its committees assessed BlackRock’s various services to each Fund, including through the review of written materials and oral presentations, and the review of additional information provided in response to requests from the Independent Board Members. The Board had four quarterly meetings during the year, as well as numerous ad hoc meetings and executive sessions throughout the year, as needed. The committees of the Board similarly met throughout the year. The Board also held the April Meeting to consider specific information regarding the renewal of the Agreements. In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund by BlackRock, BlackRock’s personnel and affiliates, including (as applicable): investment management services; accounting oversight; administrative and shareholder services; oversight of each Fund’s service providers; risk management and oversight; and legal, regulatory and compliance services. Throughout the year, including during the contract renewal process, the Independent Board Members were advised by independent legal counsel, and met with independent legal counsel in various executive sessions outside of the presence of BlackRock’s management.
During the year, the Board, acting directly and through its committees, considered information that was relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements, including the services and support provided by BlackRock to each Fund and its shareholders. BlackRock also provided additional information to the Board in response to specific questions and requests from the Board. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance for one-year, three-year, five-year, and/or since inception periods, as applicable, against peer funds, relevant benchmarks, and other performance metrics, as applicable, as well as BlackRock senior management’s and portfolio managers’ investment performance analyses, and the reasons for any material outperformance or underperformance relative to its peers, benchmarks, and other performance metrics, as applicable; (b) fees, including advisory, administration, if applicable, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by each Fund for applicable services; (c) Fund operating expenses and how BlackRock allocates expenses to each Fund; (d) the resources devoted to, risk oversight of, and compliance reports relating to, implementation of each Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions, and meeting regulatory requirements; (e) BlackRock’s and each Fund’s development and application of applicable compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, character and scope of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates and the estimated cost of such services, as applicable; (g) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls and risk and compliance oversight mechanisms; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Board; (i) execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) BlackRock’s implementation of each Fund’s valuation and liquidity procedures; (k) an analysis of management fees paid to BlackRock for products with similar investment mandates across the open-end fund, exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), closed-end fund, sub-advised mutual fund, separately managed account, collective investment trust, and institutional separate account product channels, as applicable, and the similarities and differences between these products and the services provided as compared to each Fund; (l) BlackRock’s compensation methodology for its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, along with investment professionals’ investments in the fund(s) they manage; and (m) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business.
Prior to and in preparation for the April Meeting, the Board received and reviewed materials specifically relating to the renewal of the Agreements. The Independent Board Members engaged in a process with their independent legal counsel and BlackRock to review the nature and scope of the information provided to the Board to better assist its deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the April Meeting included, among other things: (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), based on either a Lipper classification or Morningstar category, regarding each Fund’s fees and expenses as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Broadridge (“Expense Peers”) and the investment performance of each Fund as compared with a peer group of funds (“Performance Peers”); (b) information on the composition of the Expense Peers and Performance Peers and a description of Broadridge’s methodology; (c) information on the estimated profits realized by BlackRock and its affiliates pursuant to the Agreements and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates; (d) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment management fees received in connection with other types of investment products, such as institutional accounts, sub-advised mutual funds, ETFs, closed-end funds, open-end funds, and separately managed accounts, under similar investment mandates, as well as the performance of such other products, as applicable; (e) a review of non-management fees, as applicable; (f) the existence, impact and sharing of potential economies of scale, if any, with

each Fund; (g) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by each Fund to BlackRock; (h) sales and redemption data regarding each Fund’s shares; and (i) various additional information requested by the Board as appropriate regarding BlackRock's and each Fund's operations.
At the April Meeting, the Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements and the Independent Board Members presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to these questions and requests with additional written information in advance of the May Meeting, and such responses were reviewed by the Board Members.
At the May Meeting, the Board concluded its assessment of, among other things: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of each Fund as compared to its Performance Peers and to other metrics, as applicable; (c) the advisory fee and the estimated cost of the services and estimated profits realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund; (d) each Fund’s fees and expenses compared to its Expense Peers; (e) the existence and sharing of potential economies of scale; (f) any fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates as a result of BlackRock’s relationship with each Fund; and (g) other factors deemed relevant by the Board Members.
The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as other payments made or benefits that inure to BlackRock or its affiliates including relating to, as applicable, securities lending and cash management activities of each Fund. The Board noted the willingness of BlackRock’s personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board evaluated the information available to it on a fund-by-fund basis. The following paragraphs provide more information about some of the primary factors that were relevant to the Board’s decision. The Board Members did not identify any particular information, or any single factor as determinative, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items and factors considered.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by BlackRock
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services, and the resulting performance of each Fund. Throughout the year, the Board compared Fund performance to the performance of a comparable group of funds, relevant benchmarks, and performance metrics, as applicable. Throughout the year, the Board met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment activities, including the senior investment officers. The Board also reviewed the materials provided by each Fund’s portfolio management team discussing each Fund’s performance, investment strategies and outlook.
The Board considered, among other factors, with respect to BlackRock: the experience of each Fund’s portfolio management team (including the tenure of or changes in the portfolio management team); research capabilities; investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage; portfolio trading capabilities; use of certain trading, portfolio management, operations and/or information systems owned by BlackRock; commitment to compliance; credit analysis capabilities; risk analysis and oversight capabilities; and the approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Board also considered BlackRock’s overall risk management program, including the continued efforts of BlackRock and its affiliates to address cybersecurity risks, the role of BlackRock’s Risk & Quantitative Analysis Group, and BlackRock’s policies and procedures for third-party vendor oversight. The Board engaged in a review of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to each Fund’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high-quality talent and create performance incentives.
In addition to investment advisory services, the Board considered the nature and quality of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided to each Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Fund with certain administrative, shareholder and other services (in addition to any such services provided to each Fund by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of each Fund. In particular, BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Fund with administrative services including, among others: (i) responsibility for disclosure documents, such as the prospectus, the summary prospectus (as applicable), the statement of additional information, and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) oversight of daily accounting and net asset value; and services related to the valuation and pricing of each Fund’s portfolio holdings; (iii) responsibility for periodic filings with regulators; (iv) overseeing and coordinating the activities of third-party service providers including, among others, each Fund's custodian, fund accountant, transfer agent, and auditor; (v) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (vi) providing legal and compliance support; (vii) furnishing analytical and other support to assist the Board in its consideration of strategic issues such as the merger, consolidation or repurposing of certain open-end funds; and (viii) performing or managing administrative functions necessary for the operation of each Fund, such as tax reporting, expense management, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements, overseeing each Fund’s distribution partners, and shareholder call center and other services. The Board reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, shareholder services, and legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Board also considered the operation of BlackRock’s business continuity plans.
The Board noted that the engagement of the Sub-Advisor with respect to U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF, World ex U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF, FinTech Active ETF and International Country Rotation Active ETF facilitates the provision of investment advice and trading by investment personnel located outside of the United States. The Board considered that this arrangement provides additional flexibility to each portfolio management team, which may benefit the applicable Fund and its shareholders.
B. The Investment Performance of the Funds
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed and considered the performance history of each Fund throughout the year and at the April Meeting. The Board was provided with Fund performance reporting and analysis, relative to applicable performance metrics, by BlackRock throughout the year and at the April Meeting. In preparation for the April Meeting, the Board was also provided with reports independently prepared by Broadridge, which included an analysis of each Fund’s performance as of December 31, 2025, as compared to its Performance Peers. Broadridge ranks funds in quartiles, ranging from first to fourth, where first is the most desirable quartile position and fourth is the least desirable. In connection with its review, the Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance of each Fund as compared to its Performance Peers. The Board and its Performance Oversight Committee regularly review and meet with each Fund’s management to discuss the performance of the Fund throughout the year.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement (continued)
The Board noted that while it found the data provided by Broadridge generally useful, it recognized the limitations of such data, including in particular, that notable differences may exist between a fund and its Performance Peers (for example, the investment objectives and strategies). Further, the Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot of a period as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce significantly different results. The Board also acknowledged that long-term performance could be impacted by even one period of significant outperformance or underperformance, and that a single investment theme could have the ability to disproportionately affect long-term performance.
The Board noted that for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, U.S. Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF ranked in the first quartile against its Performance Peers.
The Board noted that for each of the one-year, three-year and since-inception periods reported, U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF ranked in the second quartile against its Performance Peers.
The Board noted that for each of the one-year, three-year and since-inception periods reported, World ex U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness Aware Active ETF ranked in the third quartile against its Performance Peers. The Board and BlackRock reviewed the Fund’s underperformance relative to its Performance Peers during the applicable periods.
The Board noted that for the one-year, three-year and since-inception periods reported, FinTech Active ETF ranked in the third, third, and fourth quartiles, respectively, against its Performance Peers. The Board and BlackRock reviewed the Fund’s underperformance relative to its Performance Peers during the applicable periods.
The Board noted that for the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, Health Innovation Active ETF ranked in the second, second and fourth quartiles, respectively, against its Performance Peers. The Board and BlackRock reviewed the Fund’s underperformance relative to its Performance Peers during the applicable period.
The Board noted that for each of the one-year and since-inception periods reported, Large Cap Core Active ETF ranked in the first quartile against its Performance Peers.
The Board noted that for each of the one-year and since-inception periods reported, Large Cap Value Active ETF ranked in the first quartile against its Performance Peers.
The Board noted that for each of the one-year and since-inception periods reported, U.S. Industry Rotation Active ETF ranked in the second quartile against its Performance Peers.
The Board noted that for the one-year, three-year and since-inception periods reported, U.S. Thematic Rotation Active ETF ranked in the third, first and first quartiles, respectively, against its Performance Peers. The Board and BlackRock reviewed the Fund’s underperformance relative to its Performance Peers during the applicable period.
The Board noted that for the one-year period reported, International Country Rotation Active ETF ranked in the first quartile against its Performance Peers.
C. Consideration of the Advisory/Management Fees and the Estimated Costs of the Services and Estimated Profits Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Funds
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed each Fund’s contractual management fee rate compared with those of its Expense Peers. The contractual management fee rate represents a combination of the advisory fee and any administrative fees, before taking into account any reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board also compared each Fund’s total expense ratio, as well as its actual management fee rate, to those of its Expense Peers. The total expense ratio represents a fund’s total net operating expenses, including any 12b-1 or non-12b-1 service fees. The total expense ratio gives effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers, and the actual management fee rate gives effect to any management fee reimbursements or waivers. The Board considered that the fee and expense information in the Broadridge report for each Fund reflected information for a specific period and that historical asset levels and expenses may differ from current levels, particularly in a period of market volatility. The Board also noted that while it found the expense comparison provided by Broadridge generally useful, it recognized that the comparison is subject to Broadridge’s defined peer selection criteria and methodology. The Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock and its affiliates to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, as applicable, including institutional accounts and sub-advised mutual funds (including mutual funds sponsored by third parties).
The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability methodology and was also provided with an estimated profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to each Fund. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s estimated profitability with respect to each Fund and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to available aggregate estimated profitability data provided for the prior two years. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s estimated profitability with respect to certain other U.S. fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the estimated profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds managed, precision of expense allocations and business mix. The Board thus recognized the limitations of calculating and comparing profitability at the individual fund level.
The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s overall operating margin, in general, compared to that of certain other publicly traded asset management firms. The Board considered the differences between BlackRock and these other firms, including the contribution of BlackRock’s technology business, BlackRock’s expense management, and the relative product mix. The Board noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability information for other advisors is not publicly available.
The Board considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Board. The Board further considered factors including but

E. Other Factors Deemed Relevant by the Board Members
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also took into account other ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates may derive from BlackRock’s respective relationships with each Fund, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios and its risk management personnel, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates as service providers to each Fund, including for administrative, distribution, securities lending, participation in the ETF Servicing Platform and cash management services.

In arriving at its decision to approve the Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the deliberative process.
