The Fund today announced the terms of transferable rights (“Rights”) to be issued to the holders of the Fund’s common shares of beneficial interest (par value $0.001 per share) (“Shares”) as of March 9, 2026 (the “Record Date”). Holders of Rights will be entitled to subscribe for additional Shares (the “Offer”) at a discount to the market price of the Shares.

After considering a number of factors, including potential benefits and costs, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and the Fund’s investment adviser, BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), have determined that it is in the best interests of both the Fund and its shareholders to conduct the Offer and increase the assets of the Fund available to take advantage of existing and future investment opportunities that are consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives to provide total return and income through a combination of current income and long-term capital appreciation.

Materials may contain “forward-looking” information that is not purely historical in nature, such as projections, forecasts, market return estimates, proposed or expected portfolio composition, and other items. Listed closed-end funds and business development companies trade on exchanges at prices that may be above or below their NAVs. There is no guarantee that an investor will be able to sell shares at a price greater than or equal to the purchase price or that a closed-end fund’s discount will narrow. Non-listed closed-end funds and business development companies do not offer investors daily liquidity but rather offer liquidity on a monthly, quarterly or semi-annual basis, often on a small percentage of shares. Closed-end funds often use leverage, which can increase the fund’s volatility (i.e., risk). Actual distribution amounts may vary with fund performance and other conditions. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. This material is not intended to be a recommendation or investment advice, does not constitute a solicitation to buy, sell or hold a security or an investment strategy, and is not provided in a fiduciary capacity. Shares of closed-end funds are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of principal invested. Closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value (NAV).
