Notice of Amendment to Prohibited Transaction Exemption (PTE) 2010-08 Involving Ford Motor Company (Ford)

Permits, effective December 31, 2009, the following transactions: (1) the acquisition, holding, and disposition of certain securities (which include two Ford Notes, Warrants to acquire Ford Common Stock, such Stock that may be acquired pursuant to the Warrants, and, at Ford's discretion, interests in the wholly-owned LLC holding the Notes and Warrants) by the Ford VEBA that are either not “qualifying employer securities” under ERISA or account for more than 10% of the Ford VEBA’s assets at the time of the transfer; (2) certain transactions resulting from the exercise by Ford or the Ford VEBA of certain rights and obligations under the Securityholder and Registration Rights Agreement (e.g., a Right of First Offer or self-tender by Ford); and (3) certain transactions between Ford and the Ford VEBA that may occur as a result of the transition of responsibility to provide benefits from Ford to the Ford VEBA under the 2009 Settlement Agreement (e.g., possible extensions of credit, reimbursement of expenses, or mistaken deposits of assets into the Ford VEBA).

This amendment modifies PTE 2010-08 to permit certain transactions by and between the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust (the VEBA Trust), Independent Fiduciary Services (IFS), the independent fiduciary for the VEBA Trust, the Ford Motor Company (Ford) and Ford Motor Credit Company LLC (Ford Credit). These transactions relate to the amendment of a debt security (Note B) which was contributed to the VEBA Trust pursuant to PTE 2010-08.

As a result of an agreement (the Note Agreement) by and among Ford, Ford Credit, the VEBA Trust, and IFS, acting on behalf of the VEBA Trust, Ford is granted prepayment rights under Note B, which allows Ford to prepay all or a portion of Note B at a discounted price over the next three years. In exchange for the prepayment rights, Ford agreed to prepay Note A (the other debt security which was the subject of PTE 2010-08) in its entirety in cash, and to pay Note B’s June 30, 2010 scheduled principal payment to the VEBA Trust in cash (as opposed to making such payment in Payment Shares, as is otherwise permitted by the terms of Note B). But for the Note Agreement, the value formula contained in Note B allows Ford, in a declining market for its equity, to pay its annual principal payments on Note B at a discount if the payments are made in Payment Shares. By guaranteeing that the June 30, 2010, payment on Note B was made in cash, the VEBA Trust effectively saved $79 million.

The Department took the position that the modification of Note B to allow the prepayment rights would constitute a material modification of PTE 2010-08, thus requiring an amendment.

BlackRock, Inc. (BlackRock) and Its Investment Advisory, Investment Management and Broker-Dealer Affiliates and Their Successors (the Applicants)

Provides exemptive relief to BlackRock as a result of its acquisition of BGI, N.A. (BGI) from Barclays PLC on December 1, 2009. At that time, BGI became a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock. The BlackRock/BGI entity presently manages approximately $500 billion in ERISA/FERSA assets. The post-acquisition shareholders of BlackRock are Bank of America/Merrill Lynch, The PNC Financial Services Group, and Barclays PLC (the Passive Shareholders).

None of the Passive Shareholders control BlackRock/BGI or otherwise are deemed BlackRock affiliates. Thus, none of the statutory or administrative class exemptions that are applicable to affiliates remedy potential prohibited transactions. Despite the Passive Shareholders not being affiliates or being deemed to control BlackRock/BGI, potential prohibited transactions may still result from the collective economic and ownership interests of the Passive Shareholders.

The exemption relies upon a previously agreed upon overarching structure. The overarching structure of the exemption is founded upon compliance with five sets of general conditions: (a) modified conditions derived from PTE 84-14 (sometimes referred to as the QPAM Exemption); (b) restrictions on the compensation of BlackRock managers; (c) the establishment and implementation of policies and procedures; (d) the appointment by BlackRock of an Exemption Compliance Officer; and (e) the retention by BlackRock of an Independent Monitor. This unique overarching structure constitutes a comprehensive compliance function and an independent monitor, each of which work together for the benefit of plans and their participants and beneficiaries.

The overarching structure sits on top of an agreed upon twenty five specific transaction types (each a Covered Transaction). Each Covered Transaction has its own set of additional conditions deemed suitable for it in light of the nature of the transaction. Many of the conditions for individual Covered Transactions are derived from statutory exemptions, administrative class exemptions or administrative individual exemptions frequently relied upon by fiduciaries and parties in interest (sometimes affiliated and sometimes not) to exempt similar transactions. The Covered Transactions range from relatively mechanical transactions such as securities lending to more complex transactions such as OTC derivative trades.
