The Trust has also filed subsequent 485BXT filings for the sole purpose of extending the original effective date of the initial filings. The most recent 485BXTs were filed on May 28, 2020 and scheduled to become effective on June 26, 2020.

Subsequent to the filings, the Trust decided not to go forward with the offerings of the funds as series of the Trust. No securities were sold in connection with the offerings.

If you have any questions, please call Benjamin Haskin of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP at (202) 303-1124.

Very Truly Yours,

iShares Trust
