RNS Number : 9082D  iShares II PLC  17 October 2025

RNS ANNOUNCEMENT   

   

iShares II plc (the "Company")   

 

17 October 2025 

 

 

Shareholders of iShares MSCI World Islamic UCITS ETF (ISIN: IE00B27YCN58) (the
"Fund"), a sub-fund of iShares II plc (the "Company")

 

The Directors of iShares II plc (the "Company") wish to inform you of a change
to the dividend purification model applicable to the Fund in order to
integrate dividend purification directly within the Fund, whereby any impure
dividend monies will be donated by the Fund to one or more charities, which
are selected by the Investment Manager and approved by the panel of Islamic
scholars appointed by the Investment Manager.

 

As a result of this change, investors will no longer be responsible for
ensuring purification of dividends as the amount received in dividends will be
purified. The change is being made in order to simplify investment in the Fund
for investors while maintaining the Fund's adherence to Shari'ah principles.

 

Pure and impure dividend amounts will continue to be based on MSCI's
calculation to ensure consistency with the MSCI World Islamic Index, the
Fund's Benchmark Index.

 

The changes to the dividend purification model will apply to dividends issued
from 1 January 2026.
