Sample language from fund company communications with brokers when exploring uninstructed votes

[Salutation/Name],

BlackRock Funds^SM has scheduled the shareholder meeting for BlackRock Investment Trust, a portfolio of BlackRock Funds^SM, for September 7, 2007, and we are contacting various brokers regarding their uninstructed shares. We would like to know if you will instruct Broadridge to issue all of your uninstructed shares (unvoted shares) as a broker non-vote for the below CUSIPs. The uninstructed shares will be used for quorum purposes only.

The process is simple. Within the next few days we’ll provide a list of your holdings in the fund and the number of unvoted shares for each CUSIP. You will need to forward that CUSIP list, with the specific language shown below, to Damian Rodriguez at Broadridge. His email isDamian.Rodriguez@broadridge.com, please copy me on the email.

“For the below fund and CUSIPs, please accept this as instruction that [insert the Broker Name] has not received instructions on how to vote at the upcoming shareholder meeting on the proposal(s) reflected on the below CUSIPs. We understand that the uninstructed shares will be used for quorum purposes only.”
