Strategy and Policies. The investment objective of the Fund is to match the performance of the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index in U.S. dollars with net dividends as closely as possible before the deduction of Fund expenses. The Fund employs a “passive” management approach, attempting to invest in a portfolio of assets whose performance is expected to match approximately the performance of the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index. The Fund will be substantially invested in equity securities in the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index, and will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in securities or other financial instruments that are components of or have economic characteristics similar to the securities included in the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index. Equity securities in which the Fund invests consist primarily of common stock, preferred stock, and securities or other instruments whose price is linked to the value of common stock. The Fund will invest in the common stocks represented in the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index in roughly the same proportions as their weightings in the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index. The MSCI ACWI ex USA Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that captures large and mid-cap representation across developed and emerging market countries, excluding the United States. The component stocks have a market capitalization between $102.5 million and $526.1 billion as of June 30, 2021. The Fund may also engage in futures transactions. At times, the Fund may not invest in all of the common stocks in the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index, or in the same weightings as in the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index. At those times, the Fund chooses investments so that the market capitalizations, industry weightings and other fundamental characteristics of the stocks chosen are similar to the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index as a whole. The Fund may lend securities with a value up to 331⁄3% of its total assets to financial institutions that provide cash or securities issued or guaranteed

Strategy and Policies. The iShares MSCI USA ESG Select ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. companies that have positive environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) characteristics as identified by the index provider. The Fund seeks to track the investment results of the MSCI USA Extended ESG Select Index (the “Underlying Index”), which is an optimized index designed to maximize exposure to positive ESG characteristics, while exhibiting risk and return characteristics similar to the MSCI USA Index. As of April 30, 2022, the Underlying Index consisted of 183 securities included in the MSCI USA Index. MSCI Inc. (the “Index Provider” or “MSCI”) analyzes each eligible company’s ESG performance using proprietary ratings covering ESG and ethics criteria. The index methodology is designed so that companies with relatively high overall ratings have a higher representation in the Underlying Index than in the MSCI USA Index; and companies with relatively low overall ratings have a lower representation in the Underlying Index than in the MSCI USA Index. Exceptions may result from the Underlying Index’s objective of having risk and return characteristics similar to the MSCI USA Index. The Index Provider excludes securities of companies involved in the business of tobacco, alcohol, gambling, nuclear power and weapons, fossil fuel extraction, thermal coal power and unconventional oil and gas businesses (e.g., thermal coal extraction and generation or oil sands extraction), companies involved with conventional and controversial weapons, producers and major retailers of civilian firearms, as well as companies involved in very severe business controversies. The Index Provider defines a controversy as an instance or ongoing situation in which company operations and/or products allegedly have a negative environmental, social and/or governance impact. Each controversy case is assessed for the severity of its impact on society. The Index Provider generally classifies companies as “involved” in a particular business based on revenue or percentage of revenue thresholds (e.g., 10%) for certain products and activities in an excluded industry. The securities of certain companies will be excluded regardless of revenue measures (e.g., all companies involved in the manufacturing of controversial weapons are excluded). The Underlying Index includes large- and mid-capitalization companies and may change over time. As of April 30, 2022, a significant portion of the Underlying...

Strategy and Policies. 11. The provision of a reliable, affordable electricity supply to all is a prerequisite for economic and social development in MP. 100% village electrification by 2010 and 100% household electrification by 2012 are key targets for social development; economic development will be facilitated by a power infrastructure that can deliver reliable and least cost supply to all consumers. This is the strategic imperative underpinning the sector road map. 12. The policy framework is in place to support this strategy. The inefficiencies inherent in MPSEB have largely been eliminated through unbundling, and the new companies are well placed to implement GOMP’s strategy for the sector. Targeted investments, channeled through these companies, will alleviate constraints through system rehabilitation, reinforcement and network reconfiguration. Consequently, quality of supply will improve and electricity consumers will directly benefit, underpinning the expected economic value of the reforms.
