Expenses are as of the most current prospectus. The difference between the Gross (Total) and Net expense ratios are due to contractual and/or voluntary waivers, if applicable. BlackRock has contractually agreed to waive or reimburse certain fees through June 30, 2026. Contractual waivers are terminable upon 90 days’ notice by a majority of the funds non-interested trustees or by a vote of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of the fund. The investment advisor and/or other service providers may also voluntarily agree to waive or reimburse certain fees and expenses. Such voluntary waivers and reimbursements may be discontinued at any time without notice. When waivers or reimbursements are in place, the operating expenses are reduced and total returns to the shareholder in the fund increase. Please see the prospectus for additional information.

The "Other Instrument – Note" category represents investment grade corporate bonds. The “Other Repurchase Agreement” category represents repurchase agreements backed by non-government securities, and any repurchase agreements not categorized as U.S. Treasury or U.S. Government Agency.
Sector exposure is calculated by aggregating the percent par of individual securities in the portfolio by security type. BlackRock uses a proprietary process to determine the security type of individual securities, by conducting a thorough analysis of the issuer/obligor, including but not limited to any support providers or enhancers. The values reported include cash, accrued income, and/or payables/receivables which may result in negative weightings from specific circumstances (including timing differences between trade and settle dates of securities purchased by the funds). Allocations are subject to change.

Geographic exposure is calculated by aggregating the percent par of holdings of individual securities in the portfolio based on a hierarchy by security type. For repurchase agreements, exposure is rolled-up to the counterparty for Other Repurchase agreements. For US Treasury and US Government Agency repurchase agreements, exposure looks through to the underlying collateral. For Asset Backed Commercial Paper (“ABCP”), exposure looks to the sponsor level of the ABCP conduit. For Variable Rate Demand Notes, exposure rolls up to the credit-enhancer. The Geography report represents BlackRock’s view of each security’s geography risk. The values reported include cash, accrued income, and/or payables/receivables which may result in negative weightings may result from specific circumstances (including timing differences between trade and settle dates of securities purchased by the funds).

This breakdown is provided by BlackRock and takes the median rating of the three agencies when all three agencies rate a security, the lower of the two ratings if only two agencies rate a security and one rating if that is all that is provided. The values reported include cash, accrued income, and/or payables/receivables which may result in negative weightings may result from specific circumstances (including timing differences between trade and settle dates of securities purchased by the funds).
