BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:BLK), today announced the estimated annual capital gains distributions for the iShares® Funds listed below for the 2011 tax year. Please note that these are estimated amounts only as of November 4, 2011 and include forward-looking information which may cause the estimates to change before the Funds' December 15, 2011 tax year-end. These estimates are for the year-end capital gains distributions only, which are typically reinvested rather than paid in cash, and do not include estimates of ongoing monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual cash distribution amounts.

We expect to announce the final year-end distribution amounts, as well as the monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual cash distribution amounts, on or about December 16, 2011. The ex-dividend date for the 2011 annual distributions will be December 23, 2011. The record date for the 2011 annual distributions will be December 29, 2011. The actual taxable amounts of reinvested and cash distributions for 2011, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or "CDS") in early 2012.

Reasons for some of the larger estimated capital gains distributions

XCS

The iShares S&P/TSX SmallCap Index Fund ("XCS") experienced capital gains in 2011 due mostly to the disposition of securities that were removed from its underlying index. Large contributors to realized capital gains included Fronteer Gold, Inc. and Western Coal Corporation, which were each acquired during the year. Other significant contributors to realized capital gains were First Majestic Silver Corporation, Celtic Exploration Ltd., Alacer Gold Corporation, and Trilogy Energy Corporation, which were removed from XCS's underlying index (and therefore sold by XCS), as a result of increases in their respective share prices and market capitalizations.

XRE

The iShares S&P/TSX Capped REIT Index Fund ("XRE") experienced capital gains in 2011 due mostly to the increase in value of the securities held in its portfolio. XRE must periodically buy and sell securities as a result of changes to its underlying index and in order to manage cash.

XSP

The iShares S&P 500 Index Fund (CAD-Hedged) ("XSP") experienced capital gains in 2011 due mostly to realized gains on forward contracts used to hedge currency exposure to the U.S. dollar.

Forward-looking information

This notice contains forward-looking statements with respect to the estimated annual distributions for the iShares Funds. By their nature, these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual distributions to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Material factors that could cause the actual distributions to differ from the estimated distributions between now and December 15, 2011 (the iShares Funds' tax year ends)include, but are not limited to: the actual amounts of distributions received by the iShares Funds; the actual amounts of capital gains generated from sales of securities; trading activity within the iShares Funds, including buying and selling of securities; index changes which cause rebalancing within the iShares Funds; and subscription and redemption activity.
