Fund Performance Overview

Performance as of April 30, 2012


Cumulative Total Returns
Inception to 4/30/12
NAV	MARKET	INDEX
0.94%	1.18%	0.86%

“Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the period indicated and are calculated from an inception date of 4/17/12.

The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (4/19/12), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by the Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The performance shown above assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The iShares Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Morningstar^® Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Index^SM (the “Index”). The Index measures the performance of the U.S. dollar-denominated emerging market corporate bond market. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the period from April 17, 2012 (inception date of the Fund) through April 30, 2012, the total return for the Fund was 0.94%, net of fees, while the total return for the Index was 0.86%.

Shareholder Expenses (Unaudited)

iSHARES^®, INC.

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The following Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2011 (or commencement of operations, as applicable) to April 30, 2012.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line under each Fund in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second line under each Fund in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line under each Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Actual expenses for the Funds are calculated using each Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (182 days for the iShares Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund, 27 days for the iShares Emerging Markets High Yield, iShares Global ex USD High Yield Corporate and iShares Global High Yield Corporate Bond Funds and 13 days for the iShares Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund) and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days). Hypothetical expenses for all the Funds, which are based on a hypothetical half year, are calculated using each Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (182 days) and divided by the number of days in the year (366 days).

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

iSHARES^®, INC.

iShares, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on September 1, 1994 pursuant to amended and restated Articles of Incorporation.

These financial statements relate only to the following funds (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”):


iShares Bond Fund	Diversification Classification
Emerging Markets Corporate^a		Non-diversified
Emerging Markets High Yield^b		Non-diversified
Emerging Markets Local Currency		Non-diversified
Global ex USD High Yield Corporate^b		Non-diversified
Global High Yield Corporate^b		Non-diversified

Fund commenced operations on April 17, 2012.

Fund commenced operations on April 3, 2012.

Non-diversified funds generally hold securities of fewer issuers than diversified funds and may be more susceptible to the risks associated with these particular issuers, or to a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these issuers.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective.

Each Fund may invest in securities of non-U.S. issuers that may trade in non-U.S. markets. This may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: generally less liquid and less efficient securities markets; generally greater price volatility; exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls; imposition of restrictions on the expatriation of funds or other assets of the Funds; less publicly available information about issuers; the imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs; settlement delays and risk of loss attendant in settlement procedures; difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations; less regulation of securities markets; different accounting, disclosure and reporting requirements; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates; greater social, economic and political uncertainties; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets and the risk of war.

Pursuant to the Company’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

1.	*SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES*

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SECURITY VALUATION

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 securities and other assets of each Fund are valued at fair value pursuant to the policies and procedures approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).

•

Fixed income investments are valued at the last available bid price received from independent pricing services. In determining the value of a fixed income investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measures.

•

Open-end U.S. mutual funds are valued at that day’s published net asset value (NAV).

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued based upon other available factors in accordance with policies approved by the Board. Such valuations are reported to the Board.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s net asset value and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s underlying index.

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

•

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets 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, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means; and

•

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Funds’ assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Funds’ perceived risk of that instrument.

The following table summarizes the value of each of the Funds’ investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of April 30, 2012. The breakdown of each Fund’s investments into major categories is disclosed in its respective Schedule of Investments.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized daily on the accrual basis.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates deemed appropriate by the investment adviser. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

Each Fund does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of securities. Such fluctuations are reflected by the Funds as a component of realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments for financial reporting purposes.

FOREIGN TAXES

The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, capital gains on investments, certain foreign currency transactions or other corporate events. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in their 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 capital gains from sales of investments and foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories, and foreign taxes on other corporate events are reflected in “Other foreign taxes.” Foreign taxes payable as of April 30, 2012, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

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.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Each Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Company’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued amended guidance to improve disclosure about fair value measurements which will require the following disclosures for fair value measurements categorized as Level 3: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement, a description of the valuation policies and procedures and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, the amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 will be required to be disclosed. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Funds’ financial statements and disclosures.

2.	*INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES*

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Company, BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”) manages the investment of each Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Funds, except interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, distribution fees, litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses.

BFA has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock International Limited (the “Sub-Advisor”), an affiliate of BFA, under which BFA pays the Sub-Advisor for services it provides to the iShares Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond Fund, iShares Global ex USD High Yield Corporate Bond Fund and iShares Global High Yield Corporate Bond Fund.

For its investment advisory services to each Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee based on the average daily net assets of each Fund as follows:


iShares Bond Fund	Investment Advisory Fee
Emerging Markets Corporate		0.60	%
Emerging Markets High Yield		0.65
Emerging Markets Local Currency		0.60
Global ex USD High Yield Corporate		0.55
Global High Yield Corporate		0.55

BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees for the iShares Global ex USD High Yield Corporate Bond Fund and the iShares Global High Yield Corporate Bond Fund through December 31, 2014 in order to limit total annual operating expenses to 0.40% of average daily net assets.

At the Special Meeting of the Board of Directors held on January 5, 2012, the Board approved a new distribution agreement with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”). BRIL is an affiliate of BFA.

Emerging Markets High Yield	$	8,639,328	$	—
Global ex USD High Yield Corporate		18,152,280		—
Global High Yield Corporate		13,074,693		—

4.	*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 net asset value. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund in the Company generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities, which constitutes an optimized representation of the securities of that fund’s underlying index, and a specified amount of cash. Certain funds in the Company may be offered in Creation Units solely or partially for cash in U.S. dollars. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Company’s administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. Investors transacting in Creation Units for cash 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.

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 contributions are reflected as “Due from custodian” and securities related to in-kind redemptions are reflected as “Securities related to in-kind transactions” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

5.	*INCOME TAX INFORMATION*

For purposes of U.S. GAAP, 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 values per share.

Board Review and Approval of Investment Advisory

Contracts (Unaudited)

iSHARES^®, INC.

I. iShares Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund and iShares Emerging Markets High Yield Bond Fund

Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), including a majority of Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Directors”), is required to consider and approve the proposed Investment Advisory Contract between the Company and BFA on behalf of the Funds (the “Advisory Contract”). As required by Section 15(c), the Board requested, and BFA provided, such information as the Board, with advice from independent counsel, deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the proposed Advisory Contract.

At a meeting held on March 14-15, 2012, the Board approved the selection of BFA and the Advisory Contract for the Funds, based on its review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by BFA. The Board also considered information previously provided by BFA, BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), and BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”), as applicable, at prior Board meetings. The Independent Directors were advised by their independent counsel throughout the process.

In selecting BFA and approving the Advisory Contract for the Funds, the Board, including the Independent Directors, considered the following factors, no one of which was controlling, and made the following conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided by BFA — The Board reviewed the scope of services to be required of or provided by BFA under the Advisory Contract. In reviewing the scope of these services, the Board considered BFA’s investment philosophy and experience as well as the resources expected to be available from BFA and its affiliates for the support of the Funds and their shareholders. The Board considered in particular that BFA’s services for other iShares funds reflect BFA’s core competencies, including BFA’s effective use of its proprietary investment systems analyzing securities market risk, asset class correlations and expected returns. The Board also considered services provided by BFA and its affiliates to other iShares funds in connection with the review of counterparty and issuer credit risk and securities lending opportunities and the oversight of intermediaries that provide shareholder support and processing functions. The Board considered representations by BFA, BTC, and BlackRock that the scope and quality of services to be provided to the Funds would be similar to the scope and quality of services provided to other iShares funds.

The Board also considered BFA’s compliance program and its compliance record with respect to other iShares funds. The Board noted that BFA reports to the Board about portfolio management and compliance matters on a periodic basis in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board, and on other occasions as necessary and appropriate, and has provided information and made appropriate officers available as needed to provide further assistance with these matters. The Board also reviewed the background and experience of the persons who will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. In addition to the above considerations, the Board reviewed and considered BFA’s investment and risk management processes and strategies, and matters related to BFA’s portfolio compliance policies and procedures.

The Board took into account discussions at prior Board meetings, including representations and information provided by management regarding the resources and strengths of BFA and the financial condition of BFA and BlackRock.

Based on review of this information, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by BFA to the Funds under the Advisory Contract supported the Board’s approval of the Advisory Contract.

as comprising the Funds’ applicable peer group pursuant to Lipper’s proprietary methodology, and any registered funds that would otherwise have been excluded from Lipper’s comparison group because of various factors, but were nonetheless included at the request of BFA (the “Lipper Group”). Because there are few, if any, exchange-traded funds or index funds that track indexes similar to those tracked by the Funds, the Lipper Group included, in part, mutual funds, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, or funds with differing investment objective classifications, investment focuses and other characteristics (e.g., actively managed funds). In support of its review of the statistical information, the Board was provided with a general description of the methodology used by Lipper to determine the applicable Lipper Group and to prepare this information. The Board further noted that due to the limitations in providing comparable funds in the Lipper Group, the statistical information may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds. The Board also noted that the proposed investment advisory fee rate and overall expenses for the Funds compared favorably to the investment advisory fee rate and overall expenses of the funds in the Lipper Group.

Based on this review, the other factors considered at the meeting, and their general knowledge of mutual fund pricing, the Board concluded that the proposed investment advisory fees and expense levels of the Funds, as compared to the investment advisory fees and expense levels of the funds in the Lipper Group, supported the Board’s approval of the Advisory Contract.

Costs of Services to be Provided to the Funds and Profits to be Realized by BFA and Affiliates — The Board did not consider the profitability of the Funds to BFA based on the fees payable under the Advisory Contract or revenue to be received by BFA or its affiliates in connection with services to be provided to the Funds since the proposed relationships had not yet commenced. The Board noted that it expects to receive profitability information from BFA on at least an annual basis and will thus be in a position to evaluate whether, following the expiration of the Advisory Contract’s initial two year term, any adjustments in Funds fees would be appropriate.

Economies of Scale — The Board reviewed information regarding economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result from increases in the Funds’ assets. The Board noted that the Advisory Contract did not provide for any breakpoints in the Funds’ investment advisory rates as the assets of the Funds increase. However, the Board noted that should material economies of scale exist in the future, a breakpoint structure for the Funds may be appropriate. The Board noted information presented at prior Board meetings regarding BFA’s historic profitability as investment adviser to the iShares fund complex and noted that BFA and BlackRock had continued to make significant investments in the iShares fund complex and the infrastructure supporting the iShares funds.

Based on this review, as well as the discussions described above in connection with the Lipper Group comparisons, the Board, recognizing its responsibility to consider this issue at least annually following an initial two-year period, concluded that the structure of the investment advisory fees reflects appropriate sharing of potential economies of scale with the Funds’ shareholders and supported the Board’s approval of the Advisory Contract.

Fees and Services Provided for Other Comparable Funds/Accounts Managed by BFA and its Affiliates — The Board considered certain information regarding the investment advisory/management fee rate for other funds/accounts in the U.S. for which BFA (or its affiliates) provides investment advisory/management services, including open-end and closed-end funds registered under the 1940 Act, collective trust funds, and institutional separate accounts (together, the “Other Accounts”). The Board noted that BFA and its affiliates do not manage Other Accounts that track the same underlying indexes as the Funds. The Board further noted that BFA previously provided the Board with detailed information regarding how Other Accounts (particularly institutional clients) generally differ from the Funds, including in terms of the different services provided as well as other significant differences in the approach of BFA and its affiliates to the Funds, on one hand, and Other Accounts, on the other. In that regard, the Board considered that the pricing of services to institutional clients is typically based on a number of factors beyond the nature and extent of the specific services to be provided and often depends on the overall relationship between the client and its affiliates and the adviser and its affiliates. In addition, the Board considered the relative complexity and inherent

Contracts (Unaudited) (Continued)

iSHARES^®, INC.

risks of managing and providing other services to the Funds, as publicly traded exchange-traded funds, as compared to Other Accounts that are institutional clients in light of differing regulatory requirements and client-imposed mandates. The Board noted that the investment advisory fee rate under the Advisory Contract for the Funds was generally higher than the investment advisory/management fee rates for Other Accounts that are institutional clients of BFA (or its affiliates), and concluded that the differences appeared to be consistent with the factors discussed.

Other Benefits to BFA and/or its Affiliates — Except as noted below, the Board did not consider any ancillary revenue to be received by BFA and/or its affiliates in connection with the services to be provided to the Funds by BFA since the proposed relationship had not yet commenced. However, the Board noted that BFA would not use soft dollars or consider the value of research or other services that may be provided to BFA (including its affiliates) in selecting brokers for portfolio transactions for the Funds. The Board considered the potential payment of advisory fees and/or administration fees to BFA and BTC (or their affiliates) in connection with any investments by the Funds in other funds for which BFA (or its affiliates) provides investment advisory services and/or administration services. The Board also considered the potential for revenue to BTC, the Funds’ securities lending agent, for lending any portfolio securities. The Board further noted that any portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds placed through a BFA affiliate or purchased from an underwriting syndicate in which a BFA affiliate participates, are reported to the Board pursuant to Rule 17e-1 or Rule 10f-3, as applicable, under the 1940 Act. The Board concluded that any such ancillary benefits would not be disadvantageous to the Funds’ shareholders.

Based on the considerations described above, the Board determined that the investment advisory fee rates under the Advisory Contract do not constitute fees that are so disproportionately large as to bear no reasonable relationship to the services to be rendered and that could not have been the product of arm’s-length bargaining and concluded that it is in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders to approve the Advisory Contract.

II. iShares Global ex USD High Yield Corporate Bond Fund and iShares Global High Yield Corporate Bond Fund

Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), including a majority of Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Directors”), is required to consider and approve the proposed Investment Advisory Contract between the Company and BFA on behalf of the Funds (the “Advisory Contract”), and the proposed sub-advisory agreement between BFA and BlackRock International Limited (“BIL”) (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”), on behalf of the Funds. As required by Section 15(c), the Board requested, and BFA provided, such information as the Board, with advice from independent counsel, deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the proposed Advisory Contract and Sub-Advisory Agreement.

At a meeting held on March 14-15, 2012, the Board approved the selection of BFA and the Advisory Contract for the Funds, based on its review of qualitative and quantitative information provided by BFA. The Board also considered information previously provided by BFA, BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), and BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”), as applicable, at prior Board meetings, including in connection with the use of BIL as a sub-adviser for other iShares Funds. The Advisory Contract and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are referred to hereafter as the “Advisory Agreements”. The Independent Directors were advised by their independent counsel throughout the process.

In selecting BFA and approving the Advisory Agreements for the Funds, the Board, including the Independent Directors, considered the following factors, no one of which was controlling, and made the following conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided by BFA — The Board reviewed the scope of services to be required of or provided by BFA (and any services to be provided by BIL on BFA’s behalf or direction) under the Advisory Agreements. In reviewing the scope of these

services, the Board considered the investment philosophy and experience of BFA and BIL as well as the resources expected to be available from BFA and BIL and their affiliates for the support of the Funds and their shareholders. The Board considered in particular that BFA’s services for other iShares funds reflect BFA’s core competencies, including BFA’s effective use of its proprietary investment systems analyzing securities market risk, asset class correlations and expected returns. The Board also considered services provided by BFA and BIL and their affiliates to other iShares funds in connection with the review of counterparty and issuer credit risk and securities lending opportunities and the oversight of intermediaries that provide shareholder support and processing functions. The Board considered representations by BFA, BTC, and BlackRock that the scope and quality of services to be provided to the Funds would be similar to the scope and quality of services provided to other iShares funds.

The Board also considered the compliance program of BFA and BIL and their compliance record with respect to other iShares funds. The Board noted that BFA reports to the Board about portfolio management and compliance matters on a periodic basis in connection with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board, and on other occasions as necessary and appropriate, and has provided information and made appropriate officers available as needed to provide further assistance with these matters. The Board also reviewed the background and experience of the persons who will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. In addition to the above considerations, the Board reviewed and considered BFA’s investment and risk management processes and strategies, and matters related to BFA’s portfolio compliance policies and procedures.

Based on review of this information, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by BFA and BIL to the Funds under the Advisory Agreements supported the Board’s approval of the Advisory Agreements.

Fund Expenses — The Board reviewed statistical information prepared by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, regarding the expense ratio components, including actual advisory fees, waivers/reimbursements, and gross and net total expenses of the Funds in comparison with the same information for other registered investment companies objectively selected by Lipper as comprising the Funds’ applicable peer group pursuant to Lipper’s proprietary methodology (the “Lipper Group”). Because there are few, if any, exchange-traded funds or index funds that track indexes similar to those tracked by the Funds, the Lipper Group included, in part, mutual funds, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, or funds with differing investment objective classifications, investment focuses and other characteristics (e.g., actively managed funds). In support of its review of the statistical information, the Board was provided with a general description of the methodology used by Lipper to determine the applicable Lipper Group and to prepare this information. The Board further noted that due to the limitations in providing comparable funds in the Lipper Group, the statistical information may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds. The Board also noted that the proposed investment advisory fee rate and overall expenses for the Funds compared favorably to the investment advisory fee rate and overall expenses of the funds in the Lipper Group. The Board noted that there would be no additional fees imposed on the Funds relating to the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

expects to receive profitability information from BFA on at least an annual basis and will thus be in a position to evaluate whether, following the expiration of the Advisory Agreements’ initial two year term, any adjustments in Funds fees would be appropriate.

Other Benefits to BFA and/or its Affiliates — Except as noted below, the Board did not consider any ancillary revenue to be received by BFA and/or its affiliates in connection with the services to be provided to the Funds by BFA since the proposed relationship had not yet commenced.
