BlackRock Update on the iShares MSCI Russia ETF (ERUS)
03 Agosto 2022 - 05:53PM
Business Wire
Effective August 3, 2022, the iShares MSCI Russia ETF (ERUS) has
suspended the right of redemption of fund shares pursuant to an
exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on
August 3, 2022, in order to permit the fund to liquidate its
portfolio. On August 17, 2022, BlackRock will begin liquidating
ERUS by distributing its current liquid assets to shareholders,
less the amount of a reserve estimated to meet the fund’s expected
transaction costs associated with the liquidation.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted a range of sanctions
and other capital controls that prevent BlackRock and other
non-Russian investors from buying and selling Russian securities.
As a result, ERUS’ current holdings of Russian equity securities
cannot immediately be liquidated. BlackRock cautions investors that
it is expected that the liquidation of the fund will take an
extended period of time if circumstances involving Russian
securities markets do not improve.
BlackRock expects that ERUS will remain in existence until at
least December 31, 2023, to allow the fund to sell the securities
and depositary receipts, if conditions permit; ERUS may be
terminated sooner if all of the Russian securities and depositary
receipts have been sold before that date (or they cease to
represent valid interests in their issuers). After December 31,
2023, the Fund may be terminated at any time, in the discretion of
the Fund’s Board of Directors, even if the Russian securities and
depositary receipts have not been sold. Due to the uncertainty
involved, there can be no assurance that shareholders would receive
any liquidating distribution relating to the Russian securities and
depositary receipts after the initial distribution described
above.
Future updates regarding the status of the fund and its
liquidation will be published on the product’s webpage.
