Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned hereby tenders to BlackRock Private Investments Fund, a diversified, closed-end management investment company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Fund”), the shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) in the Fund or portion thereof held by the undersigned, described and specified below, on the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated June 27, 2024 (“Offer to Purchase”), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in this Letter of Transmittal (which together constitute the “Offer”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meaning as defined in the Fund’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust. The tender and this Letter of Transmittal are subject to all the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including, but not limited to, the absolute right of the Fund to reject any and all tenders determined by it, in its sole discretion, not to be received timely and in the appropriate form.

The undersigned hereby sells to the Fund the Shares of the Fund tendered hereby pursuant to the Offer. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer Shares tendered hereby and all dividends, distributions (including, without limitation, distributions of additional Shares) and rights declared, paid or distributed in respect of such Shares that are declared, paid or distributed in respect of a record date occurring on or after the date on which the Shares are accepted for repurchase by the Fund (collectively, “Distributions”), that when such Shares are accepted for repurchase by the Fund, the Fund will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title thereto and to all Distributions, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances, and that none of such Shares and Distributions will be subject to any adverse claim. The undersigned, upon request, shall execute and deliver all additional documents deemed by the Transfer Agent or the Fund to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of Shares tendered hereby and all Distributions.

The undersigned recognizes that under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer, the Fund may not be required to purchase any of the Shares of the Fund or portion thereof tendered hereby. The undersigned recognizes that, if the Offer is oversubscribed, not all the undersigned’s Shares of the Fund may be purchased.

A non-transferable, non-interest bearing promissory note for the purchase price will be issued to the undersigned if the Fund accepts for purchase the Shares tendered hereby. The undersigned acknowledges that the promissory note will be held for the undersigned by State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund’s transfer agent. The cash payment(s) of the purchase price for the Shares tendered by the undersigned and accepted for purchase by the Fund will be made by wire transfer of the proceeds to the undersigned’s account at the financial intermediary from which the undersigned’s subscription funds were debited, or, for direct investments without a financial intermediary, to the account designated by the undersigned in this Letter of Transmittal. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned understands that upon a withdrawal of such cash payment from the account, the institution at which the account is held may subject such withdrawal to any fees that it would customarily assess upon the withdrawal of cash from such account. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned understands that any payment in the form of marketable securities would be made by means of special arrangement with the tendering shareholder in the sole discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

If the undersigned’s Shares are tendered and accepted for purchase, the promissory note will provide for payment of the purchase price in two or more installments, except that if the undersigned is tendering only a portion, but not all, of the undersigned’s Shares, such payment generally will be made in a single installment, as described in Section 7 “Payment for Shares” of the Offer to Purchase. The undersigned recognizes that the amount of the purchase price for Shares will be based on the unaudited net asset value of the Fund as of September 30, 2024 (the “Valuation Date”), subject to an extension of the Offer as described in Section 15 “Amendments; Extensions of Purchase Period; Termination” of the Offer to Purchase.

All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and the obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding on the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned. Except as stated in Section 6 “Withdrawal Rights” of the Offer to Purchase, this tender is irrevocable.
