iShares® iBonds® ETFs Near Final Distribution Date

NEW YORK, October 15, 2026--BlackRock today announced the planned termination of three 2026 iShares iBonds ETFs which possess the following timelines for trading, net-asset value (NAV) calculation and expected liquidation:
| Ticker | Fund Name | Exchange | Last day of trading | Final NAV calculation date | Liquidation date |
| IBHF | iShares® iBonds® 2026 Term High Yield and Income ETF | Cboe BZX | 12/15/26 | 12/15/26 | 12/18/26 |
| IBDR | iShares® iBonds® Dec 2026 Term Corporate ETF | NYSE Arca | 12/15/26 | 12/15/26 | 12/18/26 |
| IBTG | iShares® iBonds® Dec 2026 Term Treasury ETF | Nasdaq | 12/15/26 | 12/15/26 | 12/18/26 |
iBonds ETFs are designed to cease trading and mature during a specific maturity window like an individual bond. Leading up to the ETF's final distribution date, the bonds held by the iBonds ETF mature, and the ETF transitions into short-term instruments and cash. Shareholders will receive their proceeds from the liquidation on or around the listed liquidation date, based on their brokerage's processes.
iBonds ETFs remain available offering exposure to treasuries, municipals, investment grade and high yield corporates. iShares iBonds ETFs can help market participants build bond ladders and enhance diversification in their portfolios.
