(collectively, the “Funds”)

On December 5, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted judgment in favor of a plaintiff’s claim for rescission of resolutions by sixteen closed-end funds that are Maryland corporations and statutory trusts, including certain BlackRock-sponsored funds domiciled in Maryland, that “opted in” to elect to be subject to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. The district court declared that the funds’ elections violate Section 18(i) of the 1940 Act. The funds have appealed the district court’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In light of the district court’s decision, the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act will not apply to each Fund’s 2024 and 2025 annual shareholder meetings.

* * * * * *

Additional Information

The Funds’ definitive proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders in connection with solicitation of proxies from Fund shareholders has yet to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). After the definitive proxy statement is filed with the SEC, it may be amended or withdrawn.

BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION, SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS, DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS, WHEN THEY ARE AVAILABLE, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND AND THE UPCOMING ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS. Shareholders can obtain additional copies of the notice of annual meeting, the definitive proxy statement and other documents, when they are filed by the Funds with the SEC, by directing a request to the Funds’ proxy solicitor by calling the toll-free number provided in the definitive proxy statement. Copies are also expected to be available at no charge at the website identified in the definitive proxy statement. Additional copies of the proxy materials will be delivered promptly upon request. Free copies of these materials can also be found on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Pursuant to SEC proxy rules, the Funds’ Directors/Trustees, nominees for Director/Trustee and executive officers are “participants” in connection with the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Certain regular employees and officers of the Funds’ investment manager, administrator, or any of their affiliates may become “participants” if any such persons solicit proxies. Shareholders may obtain information regarding the names, affiliations, and interests of these individuals in the Funds’ definitive proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders when it is filed with the SEC.
