iShares Trust
Supplement dated April 2, 2026
to the currently effective Summary Prospectus, Prospectus
and Statement of Additional Information (the "SAI"),
for the iShares S&P 500 3% Capped ETF (TOPC) (the "Fund")
Change in the Fund's "Fees and Expenses"
1. The disclosure under the section of the Summary Prospectus and Prospectus entitled "Fees and Expenses," excluding the disclosure under "Portfolio Turnover," is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
The following table describes the fees and expenses that you will incur if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. Amounts in the table are rounded to the nearest basis point, which in some cases may be "0.00." The investment advisory agreement between iShares Trust (the "Trust") and BlackRock Fund Advisors ("BFA") (the "Investment Advisory Agreement") provides that BFA will pay all operating expenses of the Fund, except: (i) the management fees, (ii) interest expenses, (iii) taxes, (iv) expenses incurred with respect to the acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities and the execution of portfolio transactions, including brokerage commissions, (v) distribution fees or expenses, and (vi) litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses.
The Fund may incur "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses." Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses reflect the Fund'spro ratashare of the fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund as a result of investing in other investment companies. The impact of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses is included in the Fund's total return but is not included in the Fund's ratio of expenses to average net assets. Both figures are shown in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund's prospectus (the "Prospectus"). BFA, the investment adviser to the Fund, has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee such that the Fund's total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver will not exceed 0.09% through July 31, 2031. This contractual waiver may be terminated prior to July 31, 2031 only upon written agreement of the Trust and BFA.
You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
