(a)
The Trust estimates that it has distributed more than its net income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may
occur, for example, when some or all of the shareholder’s investment in the Trust is returned to the shareholder. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect the Trust’s investment
performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” When distributions exceed total return performance, the difference will reduce the Trust’s net asset value per share.
Section 19(a) notices for the Trust, as applicable, are available on the BlackRock website at
blackrock.com
.
Managed Distribution Plan
The Trust, with the approval of its Board of Trustees (the “Board”), has adopted a managed distribution plan, consistent with its investment objectives and policies, to support
a level distribution of income, capital gains and/or return of capital (the “Plan”). In accordance with the Plan, the Trust currently distributes a fixed amount of $0.092900 per
share on a monthly basis.
The fixed amount distributed per share is subject to change at the discretion of the Trust
s Board. The Trust is currently not relying on any exemptive relief from Section 19(b)
of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Under its Plan, the Trust will distribute all available investment income to its shareholders as required
by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If sufficient income (inclusive of net investment income and short-term capital gains) is not earned on a
monthly basis, the Trust will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital to shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution. Each monthly distribution to
shareholders is expected to be at the fixed amount established by the Board; however, the Trust may make additional distributions from time to time, including additional capital
gain distributions at the end of the taxable year, if required to meet requirements imposed by the Code and/or the 1940 Act.
Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Trust
s investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of the Plan. The Trust
s total
return performance is presented in its financial highlights table.
The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Trust
s Plan at any time without prior notice to the Trust
s shareholders if it deems such actions to be in the best interests of
the Trust or its shareholders. The suspension or termination of the Plan could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if the Trust
s stock is trading at or above net asset
value) or widening an existing trading discount. The Trust is subject to risks that could have an adverse impact on its ability to maintain level distributions. Examples of potential
risks include, but are not limited to, economic downturns impacting the markets, changes in interest rates, decreased market volatility, companies suspending or decreasing
corporate dividend distributions and changes in the Code.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging
The Trust may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the distribution rate on, and net asset value (“NAV”) of, its common shares (“Common Shares”). However, there is no
guarantee that these objectives can be achieved in all interest rate environments.
In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the financing cost of leverage, which is based on short-term interest rates, is normally lower than the income
earned by the Trust on its longer-term portfolio investments purchased with the proceeds from leverage. To the extent that the total assets of the Trust (including the assets
obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, the Trust
s shareholders benefit from the incremental net income. The interest earned on
securities purchased with the proceeds from leverage (after paying the leverage costs) is paid to shareholders in the form of dividends, and the value of these portfolio holdings
(less the leverage liability) is reflected in the per share NAV.
To illustrate these concepts, assume the Trust’s capitalization is $100 million and it utilizes leverage for an additional $30 million, creating a total value of $130 million available
for investment in longer-term income securities. If prevailing short-term interest rates are 3% and longer-term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive
slope. In this case, the Trust’s financing costs on the $30 million of proceeds obtained from leverage are based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the
securities purchased by the Trust with the proceeds from leverage earn income based on longer-term interest rates. In this case, the Trust’s financing cost of leverage is
significantly lower than the income earned on the Trust’s longer-term investments acquired from such leverage proceeds, and therefore the holders of Common Shares
(“Common Shareholders”) are the beneficiaries of the incremental net income.
However, in order to benefit shareholders, the return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds must exceed the ongoing costs associated with the leverage. If interest and
other costs of leverage exceed the Trust
s return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds, income to shareholders is lower than if the Trust had not used leverage.
Furthermore, the value of the Trust
s portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can influence the value
of portfolio investments. In contrast, the amount of the Trust
s obligations under its leverage arrangement generally does not fluctuate in relation to interest rates. As a result,
changes in interest rates can influence the Trust
s NAV positively or negatively. Changes in the future direction of interest rates are very difficult to predict accurately, and there
is no assurance that the Trust’s intended leveraging strategy will be successful.
The use of leverage also generally causes greater changes in the Trust’s NAV, market price and dividend rates than comparable portfolios without leverage. In a declining
market, leverage is likely to cause a greater decline in the NAV and market price of the Trust’s shares than if the Trust were not leveraged. In addition, the Trust may be required
to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the
terms of leverage instruments, which may cause the Trust to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit the Trust’s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain
types of hedging strategies. The Trust incurs expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by shareholders and may reduce income to the
shareholders. Moreover, to the extent the calculation of the Trust
s investment advisory fees includes assets purchased with the proceeds of leverage, the investment advisory
fees payable to the Trust
s investment adviser will be higher than if the Trust did not use leverage.
The Trust may utilize leverage through reverse repurchase agreements as described in the Notes to Financial Statements, if applicable.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), the Trust is permitted to borrow money (including through the use of TOB Trusts) or issue debt
securities up to 33 1/3% of its total managed assets. The Trust may voluntarily elect to limit its leverage to less than the maximum amount permitted under the 1940 Act.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Trust may invest in various derivative financial instruments. These instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, commodity, index, market, and/or other assets
without owning or taking physical custody of securities, commodities and/or other referenced assets or to manage market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency
exchange rate, commodity and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments may give rise to a form of economic leverage and involve risks, including the imperfect
correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the instrument.
Pursuant to Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, among other things, the Trust must either use derivative financial instruments with embedded leverage in a limited manner or
comply with an outer limit on fund leverage risk based on value-at-risk. The Trust
s successful use of a derivative financial instrument depends on the investment adviser’s
ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of these instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used,
may limit the amount of appreciation the Trust can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to shareholders. The Trust
s investments in these
instruments, if any, are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Trust Summary 
as of June 30, 2024
BlackRock Taxable Municipal Bond Trust (BBN)
Investment Objective
BlackRock Taxable Municipal Bond Trust
s (BBN) (the “Trust”)
primary investment objective is to seek high current income, with a secondary objective of capital
appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in a portfolio of taxable municipal securities, including Build America Bonds (“BABs”),
issued by state and local governments to finance capital projects such as public schools, roads, transportation infrastructure, bridges, ports and public buildings.
The Trust originally sought to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in a portfolio of BABs, which are taxable municipal securities issued pursuant to the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Given the uncertainty around the BABs program at the time of the Trust’s launch in 2010, the Trust’s initial public offering
prospectus included a Contingent Review Provision. For any 24-month period, if there were no new issuances of BABs or other analogous taxable municipal securities, the
Board of Trustees (the “Board”) would undertake an evaluation of potential actions with respect to the Trust. Under the Contingent Review Provision, such potential action may
include changes to the Trust’s non-fundamental investment policies to broaden its primary investment focus to include taxable municipal securities generally. The BABs
program expired on December 31, 2010 and was not renewed. Accordingly, there have been no new issuances of BABs since that date.
Pursuant to the Contingent Review Provision, on June 12, 2015, the Board approved a proposal to amend the Trust’s investment policy from “Under normal market conditions,
the Trust invests at least 80% of its managed assets in BABs” to “Under normal market conditions, the Trust invests at least 80% of its managed assets in taxable municipal
securities, which include BABs”, and to change the name of the Trust from “BlackRock Build America Bond Trust” to “BlackRock Taxable Municipal Bond Trust.” These changes
became effective on August 25, 2015.
The Trust continues to maintain its other investment policies, including its ability to invest up to 20% of its managed assets in securities other than taxable municipal securities.
Such other securities may include tax-exempt securities, U.S. Treasury securities, obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities and corporate bonds
issued by issuers that have, in BlackRock Advisors, LLC
s (the "Manager") view, typically been associated with or sold in the municipal market. Bonds issued by private
universities and hospitals, or bonds sold to finance military housing developments are examples of such securities. The Trust also continues to invest at least 80% of its
managed assets in securities that at the time of purchase are investment grade quality.
As used herein, “managed assets” means the total assets of the Trust (including any assets attributable to money borrowed for investment purposes) minus the sum of the
Trust’s accrued liabilities (other than money borrowed for investment purposes).
As of June 30, 2024, 48% of the Trust’s portfolio is composed of BABs. Like other taxable municipal securities, interest received on BABs is subject to U.S. tax and may be
subject to state income tax. Issuers of direct pay BABs, however, are eligible to receive a subsidy from the U.S. Treasury of up to 35% of the interest paid on the BABs. This
allowed such issuers to issue bonds that pay interest rates that were expected to be competitive with the rates typically paid by private bond issuers in the taxable fixed income
market. While the U.S. Treasury subsidizes the interest paid on BABs, it does not guarantee the principal or interest payments on BABs, and there is no guarantee that the
U.S. Treasury will not reduce or eliminate the subsidy for BABs in the future. Any interruption, delay, reduction and/or offset of the reimbursement from the U.S. Treasury may
reduce the demand for direct pay BABs and/or potentially trigger extraordinary call features of the BABs. As of the date of this report, the subsidy that issuers of direct pay BABs
receive from the U.S. Treasury has been reduced from its original level as the result of budgetary sequestration. The extraordinary call features of some BABs permit early
redemption at par value, and the reduction in the subsidy issuers of direct pay BABs receive from the U.S. Treasury has resulted, and may continue to result, in early
redemptions of some BABs at par value. Such early redemptions at par value may result in a potential loss in value for investors of such BABs, who may have purchased the
securities at prices above par, and may require such investors to reinvest redemption proceeds in lower-yielding securities. As of the date of this report, the Trust did not own
any BABs subject to a par value extraordinary call feature. Additionally, many BABs also have more typical call provisions that permit early redemption at a stated spread to an
applicable prevailing U.S. Treasury rate. Early redemptions in accordance with these call provisions may likewise result in potential losses for the Trust and give rise to
reinvestment risk, which could reduce the Trust’s income and distributions.
No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

Trust Summary

(continued)
BlackRock Taxable Municipal Bond Trust (BBN)
Taxable Municipal Bond Overview
Taxable municipal bonds typically trade at a spread (or additional yield) relative to U.S. Treasury issues with similar maturities. Treasury yields increased meaningfully for
maturities of five years and longer, while two-year yields decreased marginally. These moves caused the yield curve to steepen, but it remained inverted (with longer-term
yields above those on short-term debt). This difficult rate environment contributed to the negative return for the index.
Spreads on taxable municipal bonds ended the period tighter at the broad index level, augmenting the benefit of income. (Prices rise as spreads narrow.) These factors were
insufficient to counter the move higher in yields, resulting in negative returns. Spreads of taxable municipal bonds tend to follow those of investment-grade corporate debt,
although usually with more muted volatility. Spreads on corporates also tightened during the first half of the year. Taxable municipal valuations ended the period within a normal
range when compared to corporates, but the overall level of spreads remained at relatively tight levels.
Demand was strong for fixed-income investments in general, and for taxable municipals in particular. This factor played a key role in the tightening of spreads. The higher
absolute level of interest rates led investors to lock in higher yield levels. There was distinct interest for the longest maturity areas, where yields were at levels that had not been
available for several years. Taxable municipals benefited from this trend since the asset class has a longer duration and maturity structure than other parts of the fixed-income
market. Further, new supply of taxable municipals remained low. Issuers were reluctant to sell debt at the higher yields, and they did not have the budgetary need to do so. The
latter factor can largely be attributed to the lasting impact of federal aid during COVID-19, as well as issuers’ prior efforts to secure funding when interest rates were much
lower. 
Fundamental credit trends in the municipal sector remained sound, with more credit upgrades than downgrades. Previous federal government aid, marginally positive growth
in revenues, and solid budgetary controls all contributed to the favorable trend. The taxable municipal market also benefited from a favorable technical factor whereby issuers
tendered to repurchase debt from investors at above-market prices. The mechanics of the tenders involved the issuers qualifying to issue tax-exempt debt at lower yields to
fund the tender of the taxable municipal debt. This dynamic not only allowed investors to take advantage of attractive tender levels, but it also helped the overall market by
providing capital to be re-invested in the asset class.
There was also a significant development with respect to Build America Bonds (“BAB”s). Most BABs were issued with an Extraordinary Redemption Provision (“ERP”), which
allows the issuers to call bonds for redemption prior to maturity under certain circumstances. Due to very rich valuations of tax-exempt bonds, issuers sought to use the ERP
to call bonds out of the market while issuing new tax-exempt debt to fund the redemptions. Although these types of redemptions were not new to the sector, the amount of ERP
calls increased significantly. This caused the value of some BABs to decline, as they had previously been trading at spreads tighter than where the bonds can be called (or were
called). In addition, it resulted in more cash available to reinvest in the taxable municipal market. BAB redemptions slowed toward the end of the period, as did the previously
described tenders, but both remain factors in the market.
Late in the second quarter, lower realized inflation and softening economic data indicated that the Federal Reserve could begin a rate cutting cycle in the latter half of the year,
helping the market finish off of its previous lows.

BlackRock Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders

Trust Summary 
as of June 30, 2024
(continued)
BlackRock Taxable Municipal Bond Trust (BBN)
The following discussion relates to the Trust’s absolute performance based on NAV:
What factors influenced performance?
The Trust’s use of U.S. Treasury futures to manage interest-rate risk contributed to performance at a time of rising yields. The Trust’s use of leverage allowed it to capitalize on
tightening credit spreads, further helping results. An allocation to lower-rated investment-grade taxable municipals contributed, as spreads tightened in that space to a greater
extent than they did for higher-rated issues. Holdings in the utilities, education and tax-backed local sectors also contributed.
Higher financing costs detracted from performance by increasing the cost of using leverage. The Trust was also negatively impacted by bonds that were called prior to their
maturities.
The Trust’s practice of maintaining a specified level of monthly distributions to shareholders did not have a material impact on its investment strategy.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
The Trust’s duration (interest rate sensitivity) ended June 2024 in line with where it began the year, but it was higher at various points throughout the reporting period. The
Trust’s maturity exposure increased in the 12- to 15-year area, while declining in the 20- to 25-year range. In terms of sector weightings, housing had the largest increase. On
the other hand, the Trust’s weighting in education declined. Its allocation to California taxable municipals fell, as did its position in AA rated securities.
The investment adviser continued to look for opportunities to increase the portfolio’s yield to maturity given elevated levels of interest rates, and it preferred to purchase lower
dollar price securities when available. The adviser was active in the housing sector, where there was a large amount of new issuance relative to the broader market.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
The Trust’s duration was below that of the benchmark. The Trust remained overweight in lower-quality securities (those rated A and lower). It was overweight in bonds with
maturities of 15 years and above, and it was underweight in shorter maturities. The Trust was overweight in the tobacco, housing and utilities sectors underweight in tax-backed
states and school districts. 
The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions.

These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

BlackRock Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders

Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1.
ORGANIZATION
BlackRock Taxable Municipal Bond Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust is registered as a
diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust determines and makes available for publication the
net asset value (“NAV”) of its Common Shares on a daily basis.
The Trust, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) or its affiliates, is included in a complex of funds
referred to as the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex.
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. The Trust is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to
investment companies. Below is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Investment
Transactions and Income Recognition:
For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are executed.
Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.
Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are
recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend dates at fair value.
Interest income, including amortization and accretion of
premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized daily on an accrual basis.
Bank Overdraft:
The
Trust had outstanding cash disbursements exceeding deposited cash amounts at the custodian during the reporting period. The Trust
is obligated to
repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses, where applicable. For financial reporting purposes, overdraft fees, if any, are included in interest
expense in the Statement of Operations.
Collateralization:
If required by an exchange or counterparty agreement, the Trust may be required to deliver/deposit cash and/or securities to/with an exchange, or broker-dealer
or custodian as collateral for certain investments.
Distributions:
Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid monthly.
Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates and made at least
annually.
The portion of distributions, if any, that exceeds a fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, as measured on a tax basis, constitute a non-taxable return
of capital. The character and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Deferred Compensation Plan:
Under the Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), the trustees who are not
“interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), may defer a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation. Deferred amounts earn
an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of certain funds in the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex selected by the
Independent Trustees. This has the same economic effect for the Independent Trustees as if the Independent Trustees had invested the deferred amounts directly in certain
funds in the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex.
The Plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trust, as applicable. Deferred compensation liabilities,
if any, are included in the Trustees
and Officer
s fees payable in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and will remain as a liability of the Trust until such amounts are
distributed in accordance with the Plan. Net appreciation (depreciation) in the value of participants’ deferral accounts is allocated among the participating funds in the
BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex and reflected as Trustees and Officer expense on the Statement of Operations. The Trustees and Officer expense may be negative as a
result of a decrease in value of the deferred accounts.
Indemnifications:
In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification. The Trust
s
maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Trust, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Other:
Expenses directly related to the Trust are charged to the Trust. Other operating expenses shared by several funds, including other funds managed by the Manager, are
prorated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
3.
INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Investment
Valuation Policies:
The
Trust
s investments are valued at fair value (also referred to as “market value” within the
financial statements) each day that the Trust is
open for business and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Board has approved the designation of the
Trust’s Manager as the valuation
designee for the
Trust. The
Trust determines the fair values of its financial instruments using various independent dealers or pricing services under the Manager’s policies. If
a security’s market price is not readily available or does not otherwise accurately represent the fair value of the security, the security will be valued in accordance with the
Manager’s policies and procedures as reflecting fair value. The Manager has formed a committee (the “Valuation Committee”) to develop pricing policies and procedures and
to oversee the pricing function for all financial instruments, with assistance from other BlackRock pricing committees.

Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited) (continued)
Fair Value Inputs and Methodologies:
The following methods and inputs are used to establish the fair value of the Trust
s assets and liabilities:
Fixed-income investments for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued using the last available bid price or current market quotations provided
by independent dealers or third-party pricing services. Floating rate loan interests are valued at the mean of the bid prices from one or more independent brokers or
dealers as obtained from a third-party pricing service. Pricing services generally value fixed-income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot
size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. The pricing services may
use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data (e.g., recent representative bids and
offers), market data, credit quality information, perceived market movements, news, and other relevant information. Certain fixed-income securities, including asset-backed
and mortgage related securities may be valued based on valuation models that consider the estimated cash flows of each tranche of the entity, establish a
benchmark yield and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. The amortized cost method
of valuation may be used with respect to debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining to maturity unless the Manager determines such method does not represent
fair value.
Investments in open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s published NAV.
Futures contracts are valued based on that day’s last reported settlement or trade price on the exchange where the contract is traded.
If events (e.g., market volatility, company announcement or a natural disaster) occur that are expected to materially affect the value of such investment, or in the event that
application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not
available, the investment will be valued by the Valuation Committee in accordance with the Manager’s policies and procedures as reflecting fair value (“Fair Valued
Investments”). The fair valuation approaches that may be used by the Valuation Committee include market approach, income approach and cost approach. Valuation
techniques such as discounted cash flow, use of market comparables and matrix pricing are types of valuation approaches and are typically used in determining fair value.
When determining the price for Fair Valued Investments, the Valuation Committee seeks to determine the price that the Trust might reasonably expect to receive or pay from
the current sale or purchase of that asset or liability in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Valuation
Committee deems relevant and consistent with the principles of fair value measurement.
Fair Value Hierarchy:
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value
hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access;
Level 2 – Other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield
curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market–corroborated inputs); and
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Valuation
Committee
s assumptions used in determining the fair value of financial instruments).
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The
inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is
determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable
inputs used by the Valuation Committee in determining the price for Fair Valued Investments. Level 3 investments include equity or debt issued by privately held companies or
funds that may not have a secondary market and/or may have a limited number of investors.
The categorization of a value determined for financial instruments is based on the
pricing transparency of the financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
4.
SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
Zero-Coupon Bonds:
Zero-coupon bonds are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. These bonds may
experience greater volatility in market value than other debt obligations of similar maturity which provide for regular interest payments.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements:
Reverse repurchase agreements are agreements with qualified third-party broker dealers in which a fund sells securities to a bank or
broker-dealer and agrees to repurchase the same securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. A fund receives cash from the sale to use for other investment purposes.
During the term of the reverse repurchase agreement, a fund continues to receive the principal and interest payments on the securities sold. Certain agreements have no
stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time. Interest on the value of the reverse repurchase agreements issued and outstanding is based upon
competitive market rates determined at the time of issuance. A fund may utilize reverse repurchase agreements when it is anticipated that the interest income to be earned from
the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk. If a fund suffers
a loss on its investment of the transaction proceeds from a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund would still be required to pay the full repurchase price. Further, a fund
remains subject to the risk that the market value of the securities repurchased declines below the repurchase price. In such cases, a fund would be required to return a portion
of the cash received from the transaction or provide additional securities to the counterparty.
Cash received in exchange for securities delivered plus accrued interest due to the counterparty is recorded as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at face value
including accrued interest. Due to the short-term nature of the reverse repurchase agreements, face value approximates fair value.  Interest payments made by a fund to the
22
2024 
BlackRock Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders

Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited) (continued)
counterparties are recorded as a component of interest expense in the Statement of Operations. In periods of increased demand for the security, a fund may receive a fee for
the use of the security by the counterparty, which may result in interest income to a fund.
For the six months
ended
June 30, 2024, the average daily amount of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding and the weighted average interest rate for the Trust were
$510,365,704 and 5.65%, respectively.
Reverse repurchase transactions are entered into by a fund under Master Repurchase Agreements (each, an “MRA”), which permit a fund, under certain circumstances,
including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and
create one single net payment due to or from a fund. With reverse repurchase transactions, typically a fund and counterparty under an MRA are permitted to sell, re-pledge,
or use the collateral associated with the transaction. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of
offset in the event of the MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, a fund receives or posts securities and cash as collateral with a
market value in excess of the repurchase price to be paid or received by a fund upon the maturity of the transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty,
a fund is considered an unsecured creditor to the extent that the aggregate market value of the cash collateral and the purchased securities it holds is less than the repurchase
price. As such, the receipt of any shortfall or any closeout amount owed to a fund upon termination of the MRA could be delayed or not received at all.
As of period end, the following table is a summary of the Trust
s open reverse repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under an MRA on a net basis:

5.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Trust engages in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Trust and/or to manage its exposure to certain risks
such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk or other risks (e.g., inflation risk). Derivative financial instruments
categorized by risk exposure are included in the Schedule of Investments. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (“OTC”).
Futures Contracts:
Futures contracts are purchased or sold to gain exposure to, or manage exposure to, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk) and changes in the value
of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk).
Futures contracts are exchange-traded agreements between the Trust and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and
on a specified date. Depending on the terms of a contract, it is settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a
cash amount on the settlement date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Trust is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an
amount that varies depending on a contract’s size and risk profile. The initial margin deposit must then be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract.
Amounts pledged, which are considered restricted, are included in cash pledged for futures contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited, if any, are shown as cash pledged for futures contracts in the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Pursuant to the contract, the Trust agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in market
value of the contract (“variation margin”).  Variation margin is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable (or payable)
on futures contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statement of Operations equal to the
difference between the notional amount of the contract at the time it was opened and the notional amount at the time it was closed. The use of futures contracts involves the
risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts and interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or underlying assets.
6.
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Investment Advisory:
The Trust entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Manager, the Trust
s investment adviser and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary
of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”), to provide investment advisory and administrative services. The Manager is responsible for the management of the Trust
s portfolio and
provides the personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Trust.
For such services, the
Trust pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate equal to 0.55% of the average daily value of the
Trust’s managed assets.
For purposes of calculating this fee, “managed assets” are determined as total assets of the Trust (including any assets attributable to money borrowed for investment
purposes) less the sum of its accrued liabilities (other than money borrowed for investment purposes).

Distribution Fees:
BBN had entered into a Distribution Agreement with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”), an affiliate of the Manager, to provide for distribution of
BBN
common shares on a reasonable best efforts basis through an equity shelf offering (a “Shelf Offering”) (the “Distribution Agreement”); however, as of February 10,
2024, BBN is no longer actively engaged in a Shelf Offering and has no effective registration statement or current prospectus and the Distribution Agreement with BBN has
been terminated. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, BRIL received commissions with respect to sales of common shares at a commission rate of 1.00% of the gross
proceeds of the sale of BBN’s common shares and a portion of such commission is re-allowed to broker-dealers engaged by BRIL. The commissions retained by BRIL during
the period ended June 30, 2024 amounted to $0 since no sales of BBN
s common shares were made prior to termination of the Distribution Agreement.
Expense Waivers:
The Manager contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees the Trust pays to the Manager indirectly
through its investment in affiliated money market funds (the “affiliated money market fund waiver”) through June 30, 2025. The contractual agreement may be terminated upon
90 days’ notice by a majority of the Independent Trustees, or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Trust. This amount is included in fees waived
and/or reimbursed by the Manager in the Statement
of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the amount waived was $5,413.
The Manager contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee with respect to any portion of the
Trust
s assets invested in affiliated equity and fixed-income mutual
funds and affiliated exchange-traded funds that have a contractual management fee through June 30, 2025. The agreement can be renewed for annual periods thereafter, and
may be terminated on 90 days’ notice, each subject to approval by a majority of the Trust
s Independent Trustees. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no fees
waived by the Manager pursuant to this arrangement.
Trustees and Officers:
Certain trustees and/or officers of the Trust are directors and/or officers of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Trust reimburses the Manager for a portion
of the compensation paid to the Trust
s Chief Compliance Officer, which is included in Trustees and Officer in the Statement of Operations.

PURCHASES AND SALES
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, purchases and sales of investments, including paydowns/payups, excluding short-term securities, were $147,505,665 and
$125,579,770, respectively.
8.
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
It is the
Trust
s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute
substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no U.S. federal income tax provision is required.
The
Trust files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the
Trust
s U.S. federal
tax returns generally remains open for a period of three years after they are filed. The statutes of limitations on the
Trust
s state and local tax returns may remain open for an
additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Trust as of June 30, 2024, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe that there
are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Trust
s financial statements.
As of December 31, 2023, the Trust had non-expiring capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains as follows:

PRINCIPAL RISKS
In the normal course of business, the Trust
invests in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject the
Trust to various
risks, including among others, fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations. The value of securities or other instruments may also
be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social instability;
(iii) regulation, taxation or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate and price fluctuations. Local, regional or global events such as war,
acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Trust and its investments.
The Trust may hold a significant amount of bonds subject to calls by the issuers at defined dates and prices. When bonds are called by issuers and the Trust reinvests the
proceeds received, such investments may be in securities with lower yields than the bonds originally held, and correspondingly, could adversely impact the yield and total
return performance of the
Trust.

BlackRock Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders

Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited) (continued)
The Build America Bonds (“BABs”) market is smaller, less diverse and less liquid than other types of municipal securities. Since the BABs program expired on December 31,
2010 and was not extended, BABs may be less actively traded, which may negatively affect the value of BABs held by the Trust.
The Trust may invest in BABs. Issuers of direct pay BABs held in the Trust’s portfolio receive a subsidy from the U.S. Treasury with respect to interest payment on bonds. There
is no assurance that an issuer will comply with the requirements to receive such subsidy or that such subsidy will not be reduced or terminated altogether in the future. As of
period end, the subsidy that issuers of direct payment BABs receive from the U.S. Treasury has been reduced as the result of budgetary sequestration, which has resulted, and
which may continue to result, in early redemptions of BABs at par value. The early redemption of BABs at par value may result in a potential loss in value for investors of such
BABs, including the Trust, who may have purchased the securities at prices above par, and may require the Trust to reinvest redemption proceeds in lower-yielding securities
which could reduce the Trust’s income and distributions. Moreover, the elimination or reduction in subsidy from the federal government may adversely affect an issuer’s ability
to repay or refinance BABs and the BABs’ credit ratings, which, in turn, may adversely affect the value of the BABs held by the Trust and the Trust’s NAV.
Illiquidity Risk:
 The Trust may invest without limitation in illiquid or less liquid investments or investments in which no secondary market is readily available or which are
otherwise illiquid, including private placement securities. The Trust may not be able to readily dispose of such investments at prices that approximate those at which the Trust
could sell such investments if they were more widely traded and, as a result of such illiquidity, the Trust may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions
if necessary to raise funds to meet its obligations. Limited liquidity can also affect the market price of investments, thereby adversely affecting the Trust’s NAV and ability to
make dividend distributions. Privately issued debt securities are often of below investment grade quality, frequently are unrated and present many of the same risks as
investing in below investment grade public debt securities.
Market Risk:
The
Trust may be exposed to prepayment risk, which is the risk that borrowers may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled during periods
of declining interest rates, which would force the
Trust to reinvest in lower yielding securities. The
Trust
may also be exposed to reinvestment risk, which is the risk that income
from the
Trust’s portfolio will decline if the
Trust invests the proceeds from matured, traded or called fixed-income securities at market interest rates that are below the
Trust
portfolio’s current earnings rate.
Municipal securities are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, or the bankruptcy
of the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer’s ability to make payments of principal and/or interest or otherwise affect the value of such securities. Municipal
securities can be significantly affected by political or economic changes, including changes made in the law after issuance of the securities, as well as uncertainties in the
municipal market related to, taxation, legislative changes or the rights of municipal security holders, including in connection with an issuer insolvency. Municipal securities
backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the tax benefits supporting the project
or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets. Municipal securities may be less liquid than taxable bonds, and there may be less publicly
available information on the financial condition of municipal security issuers than for issuers of other securities.
Counterparty Credit Risk:
The Trust may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments related to
unsettled or open transactions, including making timely interest and/or principal payments or otherwise honoring its obligations. The Trust manages counterparty credit risk by
entering into transactions only with counterparties that the Manager believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of
those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Trust to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and
receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Trust
s exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is approximately
their value recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Trust.
A derivative contract may suffer a mark-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying
instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
With exchange-traded futures, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Trust since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against
a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights
may exist under applicable law, the Trust does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy
or insolvency). Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange-traded futures with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While
clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that
time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all
the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Trust.
Geographic/Asset Class Risk:
A diversified portfolio, where this is appropriate and consistent with a fund’s objectives, minimizes the risk that a price change of a particular
investment will have a material impact on the NAV of a fund. The investment concentrations within the
Trust’s portfolio are disclosed in its Schedule of Investments.
The
Trust
invests a significant portion of its assets in securities within a single or limited number of market sectors. When a fund concentrates its investments in this manner,
it assumes the risk that economic, regulatory, political and social conditions affecting such sectors may have a significant impact on the Trust and could affect the income from,
or the value or liquidity of, the Trust’s portfolio. Investment percentages in specific sectors are presented in the Schedule of Investments.
The
Trust invests a significant portion of its assets in fixed-income securities and/or uses derivatives tied to the fixed-income markets. Changes in market interest rates or
economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of such investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease
as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. The Trust may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates during a period of historically low interest rates. The
Federal Reserve has raised the federal funds rate as part of its efforts to address inflation. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in
heightened market volatility, and could negatively impact the Trust
s performance.
The
Trust invests a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers located in the United States.
A decrease in imports or exports, changes in trade regulations, inflation
and/or an economic recession in the United States may have a material adverse effect on the U.S. economy and the securities listed on U.S. exchanges. Proposed and
adopted policy and legislative changes in the United States may also have a significant effect on U.S. markets generally, as well as on the value of certain securities.
Notes to Financial Statements

Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited) (continued)
Governmental agencies project that the United States will continue to maintain elevated public debt levels for the foreseeable future which may constrain future economic
growth. Circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal on U.S. government debt, such as reaching the legislative “debt ceiling.” Such
non-payment would result in substantial negative consequences for the U.S. economy and the global financial system. If U.S. relations with certain countries deteriorate, it
could adversely affect issuers that rely on the United States for trade. The United States has also experienced increased internal unrest and discord. If these trends were to
continue, they may have an adverse impact on the U.S. economy and the issuers in which the Trust invests.

CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS 
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares.
The par value for the Trust’s Common Shares is $0.001.
The Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued Common Shares to Preferred Shares without the approval of Common Shareholders.
Common Shares
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, shares issued and outstanding remained constant. For the year ended December 31, 2023, shares issued and outstanding increased
by 5,932 as a result of Shelf Offering.
The Trust participates in an open market share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”). From December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2024, the Trust may
repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding common shares under the Repurchase Program, based on common shares outstanding as of the close of business on November 30,
2023, subject to certain conditions. The Repurchase Program has an accretive effect as shares are purchased at a discount to the Trust’s NAV. There is no assurance that the
Trust will purchase shares in any particular amounts. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Trust did not repurchase any shares.
BBN filed a prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) allowing it to issue an additional 20,000,000 Common Shares, through an equity Shelf
Offering. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, BBN did not issue any Common Shares through its Shelf Offering. Effective February 10, 2024, BBN is no longer actively
engaged in a Shelf Offering and has no effective registration statement or current prospectus for the sale of Common Shares.
Initial costs incurred by BBN in connection with its Shelf Offering were recorded as “Deferred offering costs” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As shares were sold,
a portion of the costs attributable to the shares sold were charged against paid-in-capital. Any remaining deferred charges at the end of the Shelf Offering period were
charged to expense.

BlackRock Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement
The Board of Trustees (the “Board,” the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of BlackRock Taxable Municipal Bond Trust (the “Fund”) met on May 3,
2024 (the “May Meeting”) and June 6-7, 2024 (the “June Meeting”) to consider the approval to continue the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement” or the
“Agreement”) between the Fund and BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager” or “BlackRock”), the Fund’s investment advisor.
The Approval Process
Consistent with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board considers the approval of the continuation of the Agreement for the Fund
on an annual basis. The Board members who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act, are considered independent Board members (the
“Independent Board Members”). The Board’s consideration entailed a year-long deliberative process during which the Board and its committees assessed BlackRock’s various
services to the Fund, including through the review of written materials and oral presentations, and the review of additional information provided in response to requests from
the Independent Board Members. The Board had four quarterly meetings per year, each of which extended over a two-day period, as well as additional ad hoc meetings and
executive sessions throughout the year, as needed. The committees of the Board similarly met throughout the year. The Board also had an additional one-day meeting to
consider specific information regarding the renewal of the Agreement. In considering the renewal of the Agreement, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, extent
and quality of the services provided to the Fund by BlackRock, BlackRock’s personnel and affiliates, including (as applicable): investment management services; accounting
oversight; administrative and shareholder services; oversight of the Fund’s service providers; risk management and oversight; and legal, regulatory and compliance services.
Throughout the year, including during the contract renewal process, the Independent Board Members were advised by independent legal counsel, and met with independent
legal counsel in various executive sessions outside of the presence of BlackRock’s management.        
During the year, the Board, acting directly and through its committees, considered information that was relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreement,
including the services and support provided by BlackRock to the Fund and its shareholders. BlackRock also furnished additional information to the Board in response to
specific questions from the Board. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance for one-year, three-year, five-year, and/or since inception
periods, as applicable, against peer funds, relevant benchmarks, and other performance metrics, as applicable, as well as BlackRock senior management’s and portfolio
managers’ investment performance analyses, and the reasons for any outperformance or underperformance relative to its peers, benchmarks, and other performance metrics,
as applicable; (b) leverage management, as applicable; (c) fees, including advisory, administration, if applicable, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by the
Fund for services; (d) Fund operating expenses and how BlackRock allocates expenses to the Fund; (e) the resources devoted to risk oversight of, and compliance reports
relating to, implementation of the Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions, and meeting regulatory requirements; (f) BlackRock’s and the Fund’s adherence to
applicable compliance policies and procedures; (g) the nature, character and scope of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates and the
estimated cost of such services, as available; (h) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls and risk and compliance oversight mechanisms; (i) BlackRock’s
implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Board; (j) execution quality of portfolio transactions; (k) BlackRock’s implementation of the Fund’s valuation and
liquidity procedures; (l) an analysis of management fees paid to BlackRock for products with similar investment mandates across the open-end fund, closed-end fund,
sub-advised mutual fund, collective investment trust and institutional separate account product channels, as applicable, and the similarities and differences between these
products and the services provided as compared to the Fund; (m) BlackRock’s compensation methodology for its investment professionals and the incentives and
accountability it creates, along with investment professionals’ investments in the fund(s) they manage; (n) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business; and (o) the Fund’s
market discount/premium compared to peer funds.     
Prior to and in preparation for the May Meeting, the Board received and reviewed materials specifically relating to the renewal of the Agreement. The Independent Board
Members continuously engaged in a process with their independent legal counsel and BlackRock to review the nature and scope of the information provided to the Board to
better assist its deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the May Meeting included, among other things: (a) information independently compiled and prepared
by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), based on either a Lipper classification or Morningstar category, regarding the Fund’s fees and expenses as compared
with a peer group of funds as determined by Broadridge (“Expense Peers”) and the investment performance of the Fund as compared with a peer group of funds (“Performance
Peers”); (b) information on the composition of the Expense Peers and Performance Peers and a description of Broadridge’s methodology; (c) information on the estimated
profits realized by BlackRock and its affiliates pursuant to the Agreement and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates; (d) a general analysis provided by
BlackRock concerning investment management fees received in connection with other types of investment products, such as institutional accounts, sub-advised mutual funds,
closed-end funds, and open-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as applicable; (e) a review of non-management fees; (f) the existence, impact and sharing of
potential economies of scale, if any, with the Fund; (g) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by the Fund to BlackRock; and (h) various additional information requested by
the Board as appropriate regarding BlackRock’s and the Fund’s operations.
At the May Meeting, the Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreement and the Independent Board Members presented BlackRock with questions and
requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to these questions and requests with additional written information in advance of the June Meeting, and such
responses were reviewed by the Board Members.
At the June Meeting, the Board concluded its assessment of, among other things: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment
performance of the Fund as compared to its Performance Peers and to other metrics, as applicable; (c) the advisory fee and the estimated cost of the services and estimated
profits realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; (d) the Fund’s fees and expenses compared to its Expense Peers; (e) the existence and
sharing of potential economies of scale; (f) any fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates as a result of BlackRock’s relationship with the Fund; and (g) other factors
deemed relevant by the Board Members.
The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as other payments made to BlackRock or its affiliates relating to securities lending
and cash management, and BlackRock’s services related to the valuation and pricing of Fund portfolio holdings. The Board noted the willingness of BlackRock’s personnel to
engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board evaluated the information available to it on a fund-by-fund basis. The following paragraphs provide more
information about some of the primary factors that were relevant to the Board’s decision. The Board Members did not identify any particular information, or any single factor as
determinative, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items and factors considered.
Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement 
(continued)
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services
Provided by BlackRock
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services,
and the resulting performance of the Fund. Throughout the year, the Board compared Fund performance to the performance of a comparable group of closed-end funds,
relevant benchmarks, and performance metrics, as applicable. The Board met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment activities, including
the senior investment officers. The Board also reviewed the materials provided by the Fund’s portfolio management team discussing the Fund’s performance, investment
strategies and outlook.
The Board considered, among other factors, with respect to BlackRock: the experience of the Fund’s portfolio management team; research capabilities; investments by
portfolio managers in the funds they manage; portfolio trading capabilities; use of technology; commitment to compliance; credit analysis capabilities; risk analysis and
oversight capabilities; and the approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Board also considered
BlackRock’s overall risk management program, including the continued efforts of BlackRock and its affiliates to address cybersecurity risks and the role of BlackRock’s Risk &
Quantitative Analysis Group. The Board engaged in a review of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to the Fund’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s
ability to attract and retain high-quality talent and create performance incentives.
In addition to investment advisory services, the Board considered the nature and quality of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided to the Fund.
BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Fund with certain administrative, shareholder and other services (in addition to any such services provided to the Fund by third parties)
and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Fund. In particular, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Fund with administrative services
including, among others: (i) responsibility for disclosure documents and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) preparing communications with analysts to support secondary market
trading of the Fund; (iii) oversight of daily accounting and pricing; (iv) responsibility for periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; (v) overseeing and coordinating the
activities of third-party service providers including, among others, the Fund’s custodian, fund accountant, transfer agent, and auditor; (vi) organizing Board meetings and
preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (vii) providing legal and compliance support; (viii) furnishing analytical and other support to assist the Board in its
consideration of strategic issues such as the merger, consolidation or repurposing of certain closed-end funds; and (ix) performing or managing administrative functions
necessary for the operation of the Fund, such as tax reporting, expense management, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements, and shareholder call center and other services.
The Board reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, shareholder services, and legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s
policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Board considered the operation of BlackRock’s business continuity plans.
B.  The Investment Performance of the Fund
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed and considered the performance history of the Fund throughout the year and at the May Meeting. In
preparation for the May Meeting, the Board was provided with reports independently prepared by Broadridge, which included an analysis of the Fund’s performance as of
December 31, 2023, as compared to its Performance Peers. The performance information is based on net asset value (“NAV”), and utilizes Lipper data. Lipper’s methodology
calculates a fund’s total return assuming distributions are reinvested on the ex-date at a fund’s ex-date NAV.  Broadridge ranks funds in quartiles, ranging from first to fourth,
where first is the most desirable quartile position and fourth is the least desirable. In connection with its review, the Board received and reviewed information regarding the
investment performance of the Fund as compared to its Performance Peers and certain performance metrics (“Performance Metrics”). The Board and its Performance
Oversight Committee regularly review and meet with Fund management to discuss the performance of the Fund throughout the year.         
In evaluating performance, the Board focused particular attention on funds with less favorable performance records. The Board also noted that while it found the data provided
by Broadridge generally useful, it recognized the limitations of such data, including in particular, that notable differences may exist between a fund and its Performance Peers
(for example, the investment objectives and strategies). Further, the Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot of a period as of a particular date and that
selecting a different performance period could produce significantly different results. The Board also acknowledged that long-term performance could be impacted by even one
period of significant outperformance or underperformance, and that a single investment theme could have the ability to disproportionately affect long-term performance.
The Board reviewed and considered the Fund’s performance relative to the Fund’s Performance Metrics. Based on an overall rating relative to the Performance Metrics, the
Fund generally performed in line with expectations. The Board noted that BlackRock believes that the Performance Metrics are an appropriate performance comparison for the
Fund, and that BlackRock has explained its rationale for this belief to the Board.
C.  Consideration of the Advisory/Management Fees and the Estimated Cost of the Services and Estimated Profits Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from
their Relationship with the Fund
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the Fund’s contractual management fee rate compared with those of its Expense Peers. The contractual
management fee rate represents a combination of the advisory fee and any administrative fees, before taking into account any reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board also
compared the Fund’s total expense ratio, as well as its actual management fee rate as a percentage of managed assets, which is the total assets of the Fund (including any
assets attributable to money borrowed for investment purposes) minus the sum of the Fund’s accrued liabilities (other than money borrowed for investment purposes) to those
of its Expense Peers. The total expense ratio represents a fund’s total net operating expenses, excluding any investment related expenses. The total expense ratio gives effect
to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers, and the actual management fee rate gives effect to any management fee reimbursements or waivers. The Board considered
that the fee and expense information in the Broadridge report for the Fund reflected information for a specific period and that historical asset levels and expenses may differ
from current levels, particularly in a period of market volatility. The Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock and its affiliates to other types
of clients with similar investment mandates, as applicable, including institutional accounts and sub-advised mutual funds (including mutual funds sponsored by third parties). 
The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition.  The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability methodology and was also provided
with an estimated profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to the Fund. The Board reviewed
BlackRock’s estimated profitability with respect to the Fund and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to available
aggregate estimated profitability data provided for the prior two years. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s estimated profitability with respect to certain other U.S. fund complexes

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement 
(continued)
managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the estimated profitability analysis,
noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including,
among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds managed, precision of expense allocations and business mix. The Board
thus recognized that calculating and comparing profitability at the individual fund level is difficult. 
The Board noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s overall operating
margin, in general, compared to that of certain other publicly traded asset management firms. The Board considered the differences between BlackRock and these other firms,
including the contribution of technology at BlackRock, BlackRock’s expense management, and the relative product mix.
The Board considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations
under the Agreement and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Board. The Board further considered factors including but not limited to
BlackRock’s commitment of time and resources, assumption of risk, and liability profile in servicing the Fund, including in contrast to what is required of BlackRock with respect
to other products with similar investment mandates across the open-end fund, closed-end fund, sub-advised mutual fund, collective investment trust, and institutional separate
account product channels, as applicable.
The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the first quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked in
the first quartile relative to the Expense Peers.
D.  Economies of Scale
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which any economies of scale might benefit the Fund in a variety of ways as the assets of the
Fund increase.  The Board considered multiple factors, including the advisory fee rate and breakpoints, and fee waivers, as applicable. The Board considered the Fund’s asset
levels and whether the current fee was appropriate.    
Based on the Board’s review and consideration of the issue, the Board concluded that most closed-end funds do not have fund level breakpoints because closed-end funds
generally do not experience substantial growth after the initial public offering. Closed-end funds are typically priced at scale at a fund’s inception.
E.  Other Factors Deemed Relevant by the Board Members
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also took into account other ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates may derive from BlackRock’s
respective relationships with the Fund, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios and its
risk management personnel, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates as service providers to the
Fund, including for administrative, securities lending and cash management services. With respect to securities lending, during the year the Board also considered information
provided by independent third-party consultants related to the performance of each BlackRock affiliate as securities lending agent. The Board also considered BlackRock’s
overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Board also noted that, subject to applicable law, BlackRock may use and
benefit from third-party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain registered fund transactions to assist in managing all or a number of its other client accounts.
In connection with its consideration of the Agreement, the Board also received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Board received
reports from BlackRock which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year.
The Board also considered the various notable initiatives and projects BlackRock performed in connection with its closed-end fund product line. These initiatives included
developing equity shelf programs; efforts to eliminate product overlap with fund mergers; ongoing services to manage leverage that has become increasingly complex; periodic
evaluation of share repurchases and other support initiatives for certain BlackRock funds; and efforts to reduce fund discounts, including continued communication efforts with
shareholders, fund analysts and financial advisers. With respect to the latter, the Independent Board Members noted BlackRock’s continued commitment to supporting the
secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds through a comprehensive secondary market communication program designed to raise investor and analyst
awareness and understanding of closed-end funds. BlackRock’s support services included, among other things: sponsoring and participating in conferences; communicating
with closed-end fund analysts covering the BlackRock funds throughout the year; providing marketing and product updates for the closed-end funds; and maintaining and
enhancing its closed-end fund website.
Conclusion
At the June Meeting, in a continuation of the discussions that occurred during the May Meeting, and as a culmination of the Board’s year-long deliberative process, the Board,
including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Fund for a one-year term ending
June 30, 2025. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, as well as other information, the Board, including the Independent Board
Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreement were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. In arriving at its decision to approve
the Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members
may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the
deliberative process.

Additional Information
Trust Certification
The Trust
is listed for trading on the NYSE and has filed with the NYSE its annual chief executive officer certification regarding compliance with the NYSE’s listing standards.
The Trust filed with the SEC the certification of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Integration
Although the Trust does not seek to implement a specific sustainability objective, strategy or process unless otherwise disclosed, Trust management will consider ESG factors
as part of the investment process for the Trust. Trust management views ESG integration as the practice of incorporating financially material ESG data or information into
investment processes with the objective of enhancing risk-adjusted returns. These ESG considerations will vary depending on the Trust
s particular investment strategies and
may include consideration of third-party research as well as consideration of proprietary BlackRock research across the ESG risks and opportunities regarding an issuer. The
ESG characteristics utilized in the Trust
s investment process are anticipated to evolve over time and one or more characteristics may not be relevant with respect to all issuers
that are eligible for investment. Certain of these considerations may affect the Trust
s exposure to certain companies or industries. While Trust management views ESG
considerations as having the potential to contribute to the Trust
s long-term performance, there is no guarantee that such results will be achieved.
Dividend Policy
The Trust’s policy is to make monthly distributions to shareholders. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, the Trust employs a
managed distribution plan (the "Plan"), the goal of which is to provide shareholders with consistent and predictable cash flows by setting distribution rates based on expected
long-term returns of the Trust.

The distributions paid by the Trust for any particular month may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Trust during such month. Furthermore,
the final tax characterization of distributions is determined after the year-end of the Trust and is reported in the Trust’s annual report to shareholders. Distributions can be
characterized as ordinary income, capital gains and/or return of capital.  The Trust’s taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains (“taxable income”) may not
be sufficient to support the level of distributions paid. To the extent that distributions exceed the Trust’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess may be
treated as a non-taxable return of capital.

A return of capital is a return of a portion of an investor’s original investment. A return of capital is not expected to be taxable, but it reduces a shareholder’s tax basis in his or
her shares, thus reducing any loss or increasing any gain on a subsequent disposition by the shareholder of his or her shares. It is possible that a substantial portion of the
distributions paid during a calendar year may ultimately be classified as return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes when the final determination of the source and
character of the distributions is made.

Such distributions, under certain circumstances, may exceed the Trust’s total return performance. When total distributions exceed total return performance for the period, the
difference reduces the  Trust’s total assets and net asset value (“NAV”) per share and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the Trust’s expense ratio and reducing the
amount of assets the Trust has available for long term investment.
