BLACKROCK-ADVISED CLOSED-END FUNDS

100 Bellevue Parkway

Wilmington, Delaware 19809

(800) 441-7762

July 2, 2007

Dear Shareholder:

An annual meeting of your BlackRock-advised closed-end fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) will be held at the offices of BlackRock, Inc., Park Avenue Plaza, 55 East 52nd Street, 11^th Floor, New York, New York 10022, on Thursday, August 16, 2007, at 12:00 p.m. (noon) (Eastern time) (the “Meeting”), to vote on the proposals discussed in the enclosed joint proxy statement.

The purpose of the Meeting, and the reason why the dates of certain Funds’ regularly scheduled annual meetings were changed, is to seek shareholder approval of proposals recently approved by your Fund’s board of directors or trustees (each, an “Existing Board” and collectively, the “Existing Boards,” the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”). On September 29, 2006, BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”) consummated a transaction (the “Transaction”) with Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. whereby Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.’s investment management business, including Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P. and certain affiliates (“MLIM”), combined with that of BlackRock to create a new independent company that is one of the world’s largest asset management firms with approximately $1.154 trillion in assets under management as of March 31, 2007. These proposals would implement initiatives resulting from the Transaction.

Following the Transaction, BlackRock, in consultation with all of the boards of directors or trustees of the funds in the BlackRock family of funds, undertook a comprehensive review of all of the funds currently advised by BlackRock affiliates, including the funds formerly advised by MLIM, with a goal of moving the funds to a more cohesive and rational operating platform. (The funds currently advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC, BlackRock Institutional Management Corporation or BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (collectively, “BlackRock Advisors”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, are referred to as the “Fund complex,” and all of the boards of directors or trustees of the funds in the Fund complex, including the Existing Boards, are referred to collectively as the “Boards.”) Subsequent to that review, and following extensive and substantial consultation with the Boards of the funds in the Fund complex, BlackRock recommended proposals designed to streamline and enhance the effectiveness of Board oversight of the Fund complex. At Board meetings held during May 2007, the Board Members approved these proposals on behalf of the Funds, subject to approval by the Funds’ shareholders.

One or more of these proposals require your approval. We are seeking your approval of proposals relating to the following issues through the enclosed joint proxy statement.

1. Elect Nominees (all Funds). As described in the enclosed joint proxy statement, all shareholders are being asked to elect director or trustee nominees of their Funds. Currently, seven different Boards oversee the open-end and closed-end funds in the Fund complex. It is proposed that the Boards be realigned and consolidated so that the open-end funds are overseen by just two new boards (one new board would oversee certain equity funds, all fixed-income funds and all funds designed for sale through insurance company separate accounts, and the other new board would oversee certain other equity funds and all money market funds). It is also proposed that a third new board would oversee the closed-end funds. (Each new board is referred to as a “New Board” and collectively, the “New Boards.”) Each Board has reviewed the qualifications and backgrounds of the nominees and believes that they are experienced in overseeing investment

* The Funds are listed in the Notice of Annual Meeting and in Appendix A to the enclosed joint proxy statement.

companies and are familiar with the Fund complex and with BlackRock Advisors. As discussed in more detail on page 7 of the enclosed joint proxy statement, the Board Members and BlackRock believe that: (i) a single New Board overseeing funds of a specific type may enhance that New Board’s efficiency by enabling Board Members to focus their attention on issues common to many of the funds overseen by the New Boards and to act to resolve these issues in a shorter time frame; (ii) realigning the Boards into three New Boards may reduce certain fund expenses, such as costs associated with holding Board meetings, committee meetings and, to the extent necessary, shareholder meetings; (iii) reducing the administrative costs and burden on fund management that are inherent in reporting to seven Boards may allow fund management to devote more time and resources to providing other services to the funds in the Fund complex, including to facilitate management’s high level planning and strategic initiatives for the entire Fund complex; (iv) having fewer Boards will facilitate more effective communication between fund management and the New Boards; (v) a smaller number of Boards may result in more efficient and effective presentations at New Board meetings; and (vi) a smaller number of Boards may benefit the funds and their shareholders by enhancing the effectiveness of New Board oversight of the funds, their management and their other service providers and may facilitate more uniform oversight of the funds in the Fund complex.

2. Approve Amendment of Declaration of Trust (certain Funds only). As described in the enclosed joint proxy statement, shareholders of certain Funds (each, an “Amending Fund”) are being asked to approve an amendment of that Amending Fund’s Declaration of Trust to increase the maximum number of Board Members to fifteen (15), so that all of the nominees to the New Board of each Amending Fund may be elected to each Amending Fund’s New Board and to allow for two additional Board Members to be elected in the future. Each Amending Fund’s Declaration of Trust currently permits a maximum of eleven (11) Board Members. In order to accomplish the Board consolidation discussed in Proposal 1 and to obtain the benefit of the nominees’ collective knowledge and experience, the Existing Board of each Amending Fund approved amending its Declaration of Trust.

Please note that separate joint proxy statements are being sent to the shareholders of the open-end funds in the Fund complex, who are being asked to vote on the Board consolidation discussed above. Also, shareholders of certain open-end funds are being asked to consider reorganizations involving their funds. Separate proxy materials relating to those proposed fund reorganizations have been, or will be, sent to shareholders of those funds.

The Board Members responsible for your Fund recommend that you vote “FOR” the proposal(s) with respect to your Fund. However, before you vote, please read the full text of the joint proxy statement for an explanation of each proposal.

Your vote is important. Even if you plan to attend and vote in person at the Meeting, please promptly follow the enclosed instructions to submit voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet. Alternatively, you may submit voting instructions by signing and dating each proxy card you receive, and if received by mail, returning it in the accompanying postage-paid return envelope.

If you have any questions about the proposals to be voted on, please call Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. at 1-877-333-2297.

Sincerely,

Alice A. Pellegrino

Secretary of certain Funds

IMPORTANT NEWS

FOR FUND SHAREHOLDERS

While we encourage you to read the full text of the enclosed joint proxy statement, for your convenience we have provided a brief overview of the matters to be voted on.

Questions and Answers

Q. Why am I receiving the joint proxy statement?

A. The purpose of the Meeting, and the reason why the dates of certain funds’ regularly scheduled annual meeting were changed, is to seek shareholder approval of proposals recently approved by your fund’s board of directors or trustees (each, an “Existing Board” and collectively, the “Existing Boards,” the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”). As a shareholder of one or more of the funds (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC, BlackRock Institutional Management Corporation or BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (collectively, “BlackRock Advisors”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”), you are being asked to elect director or trustee nominees of your Fund and, in certain cases, to amend the Declaration of Trust of your Fund. (The funds currently advised by BlackRock Advisors are referred to as the “Fund complex,” and all of the boards of directors or trustees of the funds in the Fund complex, including the Existing Boards, are referred to collectively as the “Boards.”) The table beginning on page 9 of the joint proxy statement identifies the nominees that Fund shareholders are being asked to approve. The enclosed proxy card(s) indicate the Fund(s) in which you hold shares and the proposal(s) on which you are being asked to vote.

Q. Why am I being asked to vote on these proposals?

A. On September 29, 2006, BlackRock consummated a transaction (the “Transaction”) with Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. whereby Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.’s investment management business, including Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P. and certain affiliates (“MLIM”), combined with that of BlackRock to create a new independent company that is one of the world’s largest asset management firms with approximately $1.154 trillion in assets under management as of March 31, 2007. The Transaction resulted in BlackRock having seven Boards that oversee nearly 300 funds. BlackRock and each Board believe that realigning and consolidating the seven Boards into three new boards (each, a “New Board” and collectively, the “New Boards”) would enable the New Boards to focus more attention on issues of particular relevance to the types of funds they oversee and to streamline and enhance the effectiveness of New Board oversight of the funds in the Fund complex. The proposal relating to the amendment of the Declaration of Trust of certain Funds is necessary in order to accomplish the realignment and consolidation of the Existing Boards with respect to those Funds.

The proposals cannot be effected without shareholder approval. Your Fund’s Existing Board has approved the proposals you are being asked to vote on, believes they are in shareholders’ best interests, and recommends that you approve them.

Q. What am I being asked to vote “FOR” in the joint proxy statement?

A. Shareholders are being asked to elect director or trustee nominees, as described in Proposal 1. Currently, seven different Boards oversee the open-end and closed-end funds in the Fund complex. It is proposed that the Boards be realigned and consolidated so that the open-end funds are overseen by just two New Boards (one New Board would oversee certain equity

funds, fixed-income funds and all funds designed for sale through insurance company separate accounts, and the other New Board would oversee certain other equity funds and money market funds). It is also proposed that a third New Board would oversee the closed-end funds. The proposals for the open-end funds are covered in separate proxy statements. Each Board has reviewed the qualifications and backgrounds of the nominees and believes that they are experienced in overseeing investment companies and are familiar with the Fund complex and with BlackRock Advisors. As discussed in more detail on page 7 of the enclosed joint proxy statement, the Board Members and BlackRock believe that: (i) a single New Board overseeing funds of a specific type may enhance that New Board’s efficiency by enabling Board Members to focus their attention on issues common to many of the funds overseen by the New Boards and to act to resolve these issues in a shorter time frame; (ii) realigning the Boards into three New Boards may reduce certain fund expenses, such as costs associated with holding Board meetings, committee meetings and, to the extent necessary, shareholder meetings; (iii) reducing the administrative costs and burden on fund management that are inherent in reporting to seven Boards may allow fund management to devote more time and resources to providing other services to the funds in the Fund complex, including to facilitate management’s high level planning and strategic initiatives for the entire Fund complex; (iv) having fewer Boards will facilitate more effective communication between fund management and the New Boards; (v) a smaller number of Boards may result in more efficient and effective presentations at New Board meetings; and (vi) a smaller number of Boards may benefit the funds and their shareholders by enhancing the effectiveness of New Board oversight of the funds, their management and their other service providers and may facilitate more uniform oversight of the funds in the Fund complex.

Shareholders of certain Funds (each, an “Amending Fund”) are being asked to approve an amendment of that Amending Fund’s Declaration of Trust to increase the maximum number of Board Members to fifteen (15), so that all of the nominees to the New Board of each Amending Fund may be elected to each Amending Fund’s New Board and to allow for two additional Board Members to be elected in the future. Each Amending Fund’s Declaration of Trust currently permits a maximum of eleven (11) Board Members. In order to accomplish the Board consolidation discussed in Proposal 1 and to obtain the benefit of the nominees’ collective knowledge and experience, the Existing Board of each Amending Fund approved amending its Declaration of Trust.

Q. Will my vote make a difference?

A. Your vote is very important and can make a difference in the governance and management of the Funds, no matter how many shares you own. Your vote can help ensure that the proposal(s) recommended by the Existing Boards can be implemented. We encourage all shareholders to participate in the governance of their Funds.

Q. Am I being asked to approve a reorganization of my fund with another fund?

A. Not as part of the joint proxy statement; however, as part of the Board consolidation initiative discussed above, shareholders of a number of open-end funds are being asked to consider a reorganization of their fund with another open-end fund. If this type of reorganization is proposed for your open-end fund, you will receive (or may have already received) a separate combined proxy statement/prospectus to consider and vote on that proposal.

Q. Are the Funds paying for the cost of the joint proxy statement?

A. The costs associated with the joint proxy statement, including the mailing and the proxy solicitation costs, will be borne by the Funds, except for the Funds described in the paragraph below. Additional out-of-pocket costs, such as legal expenses and auditor fees, incurred in

connection with the preparation of the joint proxy statement, also will be borne by the Funds, except for the Funds described in the paragraph below. Costs that are borne by the Funds collectively will be allocated among the Funds on the basis of a combination of their respective net assets and number of shareholder accounts, except when direct costs can reasonably be attributed to one or more specific Funds.

The portion of the costs associated with the joint proxy statement, including the mailing and the proxy solicitation costs, applicable to each of Master Senior Floating Rate LLC, BlackRock Senior Floating Rate Fund, Inc., BlackRock Senior Floating Rate Fund II, Inc., BlackRock Multi-Strategy Hedge Advantage and BlackRock Multi-Strategy Hedge Opportunities LLC, will be shared equally by BlackRock and each such Fund. Additional out-of-pocket costs, such as legal expenses and auditor fees, incurred in connection with the preparation of the joint proxy statement with respect to those Funds, also will be shared equally by BlackRock and such Funds. These costs are being shared with BlackRock because such Funds do not normally hold annual shareholders’ meetings. Costs that are borne by such Funds collectively will be allocated among the Funds on the basis of a combination of their respective net assets and number of shareholder accounts, except when direct costs can reasonably be attributed to one or more specific Funds.

The Funds and BlackRock have retained Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717, a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the solicitation of proxies. It is anticipated that Broadridge will be paid approximately $669,559 for such solicitation services (including reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses).

Q. Whom do I call if I have questions?

A. If you need more information, or have any questions about voting, please call Broadridge, the Funds’ proxy solicitor, at 1-877-333-2297.

Q. How do I vote my shares?

A. You can provide voting instructions by telephone by calling the toll-free number on the proxy card(s) or by computer by going to the Internet address provided on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy card(s) and following the instructions. Alternatively, if you received your proxy card(s) by mail, you can vote your shares by signing and dating the proxy card(s) and mailing it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. You may also attend the Meeting and vote in person; however, even if you intend to do so, we encourage you to provide voting instructions by one of the methods discussed above.

Please vote now. Your vote is important.

To avoid the wasteful and unnecessary expense of further solicitation, we urge you to indicate your voting instructions on the proxy card, and if received by mail, date and sign it and return it promptly in the envelope provided, or record your voting instructions by telephone or via the Internet, no matter how large or small your holdings may be. If your shares are held through a broker, you must provide voting instructions to your broker about how to vote your shares in order for your broker to vote your shares as you instruct at the Meeting.

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

AUGUST 16, 2007

JOINT PROXY STATEMENT

This joint proxy statement (the “Joint Proxy Statement”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the board of directors or trustees (each, an “Existing Board,” the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of each of the BlackRock-advised funds listed in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders (each, a “Fund”) of proxies to be voted at an annual meeting of shareholders of each such Fund to be held BlackRock, Inc., Park Avenue Plaza, 55 East 52nd Street, 11^th Floor, New York, New York 10022, on Thursday, August 16, 2007, at 12:00 p.m. (noon) (Eastern time) (for each Fund, a “Meeting”), and at any and all adjournments or postponements thereof. A Meeting will be held for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice.

The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint Proxy Statement for such Fund’s Meeting is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by the shareholders of each of the Funds. This Joint Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials, or a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, are being mailed to shareholders on or about July 5, 2007.

Each Fund is organized as either a Massachusetts business trust (each, a “Massachusetts Trust”), a Maryland corporation (each, a “Maryland Corporation”), a Delaware statutory trust (each, a “Delaware Trust”) or a Delaware limited liability company (each, a “Delaware LLC”). The Massachusetts Trusts, Maryland Corporations, Delaware Trusts and Delaware LLCs are investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). A list of each Massachusetts Trust, Maryland Corporation, Delaware Trust and Delaware LLC is set forth in Appendix A.

Shareholders of record of a Fund as of the close of business on June 20, 2007 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to attend and to vote at that Fund’s Meeting. Shareholders of the Funds are entitled to one vote for each share held, with no shares having cumulative voting rights. Holders of the auction market preferred stock or auction market preferred shares of beneficial interest (collectively, “AMPS”) of each of the Funds identified in Appendix A (collectively, the “AMPS Funds”) will have equal voting rights with the shares of common stock or shares of beneficial interest (collectively, “common stock”) of those AMPS Funds and will vote together with the common stock as a single class on the proposal on which they are entitled to vote, and separately on a proposal on which they are entitled to vote separately. The manner in which shareholders of each Fund are entitled to vote is shown in the section below entitled “Vote Required and Manner of Voting Proxies.” The quorum requirement for each Fund, and the vote requirement for Proposal 1, is set forth in Appendix B. The vote requirement for Proposal 2 is set forth under “Vote Required and Manner of Voting Proxies.” If you are a shareholder of a Fund organized in a “master/feeder” structure, you will be asked to vote in connection with matters applicable to your feeder Fund’s respective master Fund (noted in Appendix A).

The number of shares of each Fund outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date and the net assets of each Fund as of that date are shown in Appendix A. Except as set forth in

1

Appendix J, to the knowledge of each Fund, as of the Record Date, no person was the beneficial owner of five percent or more of a class of that Fund’s outstanding shares.

The Fund of which you are a shareholder is named on the proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. If you own shares in more than one Fund as of the Record Date, you may receive more than one proxy card. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, please sign, date and return EACH proxy card you receive, or if you provide voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet, please vote on the proposals affecting EACH Fund you own. If you vote by telephone or over the Internet, you will be asked to enter a unique code that has been assigned to you, which is printed on your proxy card(s) or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as applicable. This code is designed to confirm your identity, provide access into the voting sites and confirm that your instructions are properly recorded.

All properly executed proxies received prior to a Fund’s Meeting will be voted at that Meeting. On any matter coming before each Meeting as to which a shareholder has specified a choice on that shareholder’s proxy, the shares will be voted accordingly. If a proxy is properly executed and returned and no choice is specified with respect to the proposal, the shares will be voted “FOR” the proposal. Shareholders who execute proxies or provide voting instructions by telephone or the Internet may revoke them with respect to the proposal at any time before a vote is taken on the proposal by filing with the applicable Fund a written notice of revocation (addressed to the Secretary of the Fund at the principal executive offices of the Fund at the address above), by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the Meeting and voting in person, in all cases prior to the exercise of the authority granted in the proxy card. Merely attending the Meeting, however, will not revoke any previously executed proxy. If you hold shares through a bank or other intermediary, please consult your bank or intermediary regarding your ability to revoke voting instructions after such instructions have been provided.

Photographic identification will be required for admission to the Meetings.

Each Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of its annual report and most recent semi-annual report succeeding the annual report, if any, to a shareholder upon request. Such requests should be directed to the Fund at 40 East 52^nd Street, New York, New York 10022-5911, or by calling toll free at 1-800-441-7762. Copies of annual and semi-annual reports of each Fund are also available on the EDGAR Database on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Internet site at www.sec.gov.

Please note that only one annual or semi-annual report or Joint Proxy Statement or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials may be delivered to two or more shareholders of a Fund who share an address, unless the Fund has received instructions to the contrary. To request a separate copy of an annual report or semi-annual report or this Joint Proxy Statement, or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or for instructions as to how to request a separate copy of these documents or as to how to request a single copy if multiple copies of these documents are received, shareholders should contact the applicable Fund at the address and phone number set forth above.

Please also note that, as part of the initiatives that are designed to eliminate overlapping and duplicative product offerings within the BlackRock family of funds, shareholders of certain open-end funds are being asked to consider reorganizations involving their funds. Separate proxy materials relating to those proposed fund reorganizations have been, or will be, sent to applicable shareholders.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT

To avoid the unnecessary expense of further solicitation, we urge you to indicate voting instructions on the enclosed proxy card, and if received by mail, date and sign it and return it promptly in the envelope provided, no matter how large or small your holdings may be. If you submit a properly executed proxy but do not indicate how you wish your shares to be voted, your shares will be voted “FOR” each of the proposals.

PROPOSAL 1—TO ELECT NOMINEES

The purpose of this Proposal 1 is to elect director or trustee nominees (each, a “Nominee”) of each Fund. (The funds currently advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC, BlackRock Institutional Management Corporation or BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (collectively, “BlackRock Advisors”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”), are referred to as the “Fund complex,” and all of the Boards of Directors or Trustees of the funds in the Fund complex, including the Existing Boards, are referred to collectively as the “Boards.”)

Currently, seven different Boards oversee the open-end and closed-end funds in the Fund complex. It is proposed that the Boards be realigned and consolidated so that the open-end funds would be overseen by two new boards. One new board would oversee certain equity funds, all fixed-income funds and all funds in the Fund complex designed for sale through insurance company separate accounts, and the other new board would oversee certain other equity funds and all money market funds in the Fund complex. It is also proposed that a third new board would oversee the closed-end funds. (Each new board is referred to as a “New Board” and collectively as the “New Boards.”) The proposals for the open-end funds are covered in separate proxy statements. As discussed below, this realignment and consolidation is expected to enable the New Boards to focus more attention on issues of particular relevance to the types of funds they oversee and to streamline and enhance the effectiveness of New Board oversight of the Fund complex. Also, it is expected that having fewer Boards will facilitate greater communication between fund management and the New Boards.

It is intended that the proxy card, if properly executed, will be voted for all Nominees for the New Board of each Fund unless a proxy contains specific instructions to the contrary. Each Nominee’s term of office will commence, if such Nominee is properly elected, on or about November 1, 2007. The Nominees of certain Funds identified in Appendix A (each, a “Staggered Board Fund”) are classified into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. The term of office of these Nominees in Class I, Class II and Class III will expire the later of 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, or until his or her successor is elected and qualifies or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal. The term of office of the Nominees for all of the other Funds that are not Staggered Board Funds will expire in 2008 or until his or her successor is elected and qualifies or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal. For the Amending Funds (defined below) discussed in Proposal 2, the election of two of the Nominees (the “Contingent Nominees”) would be contingent upon shareholder approval of Proposal 2. The Nominees who are “interested persons” under the 1940 Act, Richard S. Davis and Henry Gabbay, are the Contingent Nominees. If shareholders of an Amending Fund do not approve Proposal 2, the Contingent Nominees would not serve on that Amending Fund’s New Board regardless of the number of votes each Contingent Nominee receives.

With respect to the AMPS Funds, it is intended that (i) all properly executed proxies of the holders of AMPS, voting separately as a class, will be voted (unless such authority has been withheld in the proxy or revoked as described herein) “FOR” the two (2) Nominees listed in the table below identified as “AMPS Nominees” to be elected by the holders of AMPS; (ii) for AMPS Funds, other than BlackRock MuniVest Fund, Inc., all properly executed proxies of the holders of common stock and AMPS, voting together as a single class, will be voted “FOR” the other Nominees listed in the chart; and (iii) for BlackRock MuniVest Fund, Inc., all properly executed proxies of holders of common stock, voting separately as a class, will be voted “FOR” the other Nominees listed in the chart.

Reasons for Board Realignment and Consolidation

On September 29, 2006, BlackRock consummated a transaction (the “Transaction”) with Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. whereby Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.’s investment management business, including Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P. and certain affiliates (“MLIM”), combined with that of BlackRock to create a new independent company that is one of the world’s largest asset management firms with approximately $1.154 trillion in assets under management as of March 31, 2007. Following the Transaction, BlackRock, in consultation with the Board of each of the funds in the Fund complex, undertook a review of the investment advisory operations it had acquired and the operations of the funds formerly advised by MLIM with the goal of moving the funds to a more cohesive and rational operating platform. BlackRock and the Boards each discussed certain proposals designed to achieve this goal. Specifically, the Boards discussed with BlackRock the possibility of consolidating the Boards. Discussions were held with each of the seven Boards and ideas for consolidation were considered, including the appropriate number of Boards, the appropriate number of Board Members and which Board would be best suited to oversee specific types of funds (open-end equity, open-end fixed-income, open-end money market funds and closed-end funds). These meetings were facilitated by outside counsel and were held among the Board Members who are not “interested persons,” as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Board Members”), as well as with management personnel from BlackRock. Over the course of several months and numerous such meetings, consensus was reached on the appropriate structure for the New Boards, the number of New Boards, and the composition of those New Boards, as well as the funds each New Board would oversee, and these results were proposed for consideration at each Board’s next in person meeting.

Among BlackRock and the Boards’ proposals was a recommendation that the number of Boards overseeing the funds be reduced by the election of a single New Board intended to oversee certain open-end equity funds, all open-end fixed-income funds and all open-end funds in the Fund complex designed for sale through insurance company separate accounts, a second New Board intended to oversee the other open-end equity funds and all money market funds in the Fund complex and a third New Board intended to oversee all closed-end funds. The proposals would result in a Fund complex overseen by three distinct New Boards. BlackRock, in consultation with the Boards, also proposed that the number of Board Members who are “interested persons” of the Funds as defined in the 1940 Act consist of two (2) members of the New Board overseeing the closed-end funds and the New Board overseeing certain open-end equity funds and all money market funds in the Fund complex, and three (3) members of the New Board overseeing certain other open-end equity funds, all open-end fixed-income funds and all open-end funds in the Fund complex designed for sale through insurance company separate accounts.

At meetings held during May 2007, each Board determined that realigning the Boards into a smaller number of Boards may provide benefits to shareholders of the funds in the Fund complex. Each Board has reviewed the qualifications and backgrounds of the Nominees and believes that they are experienced in overseeing investment companies and are familiar with the Fund complex and with BlackRock Advisors. In addition, the Board Members had the opportunity to meet their counterparts on other Boards in the Fund complex. The Board Members and BlackRock believe that: (i) a single New Board overseeing funds of a specific type may enhance that New Board’s efficiency by enabling Board Members to focus their attention on issues common to many of the funds overseen by the New Boards and to act to resolve these issues in a shorter time frame; (ii) realigning the Boards into three New Boards may reduce certain fund expenses, such as costs associated with holding Board meetings, committee meetings and, to the extent necessary, shareholder meetings; (iii) reducing the administrative costs and burden on fund management that are inherent in reporting to seven Boards may allow fund management to devote more time and resources to providing other services to the funds in the Fund complex, including to facilitate management’s high level planning and strategic initiatives for the entire Fund complex; (iv) having

7

fewer Boards will facilitate more effective communication between fund management and the New Boards; (v) a smaller number of Boards may result in more efficient and effective presentations at New Board meetings; and (vi) a smaller number of Boards may benefit the funds and their shareholders by enhancing the effectiveness of New Board oversight of the funds, their management and their other service providers and may facilitate more uniform oversight of the funds in the Fund complex. The Funds do not expect to realize immediate savings on director compensation in the aggregate across all of the New Boards because the total number of Independent Board Members will not materially change. Board Member compensation costs might increase in the short run because of the larger size of the New Boards, but any such increase is not expected to be material to any Fund. There could be future savings, however, if (as is anticipated) normal retirements reduce Board size. Independent Board Member compensation has not yet been established by the New Boards.

The Boards also reviewed the efficiencies sought to be gained through Board consolidation, focusing on, among other things, the significant reduction in the volume of Board materials required to be prepared by BlackRock Advisors and the funds’ other service providers for each of the seven quarterly Board meetings. Additionally, the Boards focused on ensuring that portfolio management time dedicated to keeping the multiple Boards up to date on performance and portfolio management issues across the seven Boards could be efficiently managed. The Board noted, as an example, that many senior portfolio managers currently attend many Board meetings each quarter and that if the Board consolidation were approved, such portfolio managers would only have to attend at most three Board meetings each quarter. The Boards also considered the benefits from a compliance perspective. In particular, the Boards considered that the seven Board structure resulted in the creation of four separate sets of compliance policies and procedures and compliance manuals, and that while these compliance materials are broadly consistent across the Fund complex, consolidating the Boards into the New Board structure would promote the adoption of uniform compliance policies and procedures for the appropriate funds overseen by each New Board. The Boards and BlackRock concluded that the Board consolidation would result in efficiencies in terms of compliance monitoring and oversight and would streamline New Board reporting and monitoring of fund compliance.

These individual Board meetings were held during May 2007, and the proposals described in this Joint Proxy Statement were considered and approved unanimously by those Board Members present at the May meetings. You are being asked to elect the Nominees of your Fund’s New Board. Each Nominee has consented to serve on the New Board to which he or she has been nominated if elected by shareholders. If, however, before the election, any Nominee refuses or is unable to serve, proxies may be voted for a replacement Nominee, if any, designated by the current Board Members.

The nominations of the Nominees listed below have been approved by the Board Members. Information about the Nominees of your Fund’s New Board is set forth in the section below. Each Existing Board has determined that the number of Board Members shall be fixed at thirteen (13), with the exception that with respect to the Amending Funds such amount will be contingent upon shareholder approval of Proposal 2. If shareholders of an Amending Fund do not approve Proposal 2, the number of Board Members would remain fixed at eleven (11) and the Contingent Nominees would not serve on that Amending Fund’s New Board regardless of the number of votes each Contingent Nominee receives.

Nominees

The Nominees of your Fund’s New Board, including their ages, their current position(s) with the Funds and length of time served, their principal occupations during at least the past five years, the number of funds in the Fund complex the Nominees oversee or would oversee and any public

8

company board memberships they hold are set forth below. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each Nominee is 40 East 52nd Street, New York, New York 10022. Each Nominee was nominated by the nominating committee of the Existing Board of each respective Fund. The Nominees also considered candidates for Chairman and Vice Chairman of your Fund’s New Board, and Richard E. Cavanagh was selected to serve as Chairman and Karen P. Robards was selected to serve as Vice Chair of each New Board.

BlackRock Broad Investment Grade 2009 Term Trust, Inc. (“BCT”) holds substantially all of its assets in its wholly owned subsidiary, BCT Subsidiary, Inc. (“BCTS”). The board of the wholly owned subsidiary is identical to the Existing Board of its parent company. Accordingly, Nominees elected as Board Members of BCT will be appointed by BCT to serve as Board Members of BCTS, which has investment objectives and policies identical to BCT.

Richard S. Davis and Henry Gabbay are “interested persons” of all of the funds in the Fund complex as defined in the 1940 Act by virtue of their positions with BlackRock and its affiliates described in the table below.

General Information Regarding the Boards

Compensation: Information relating to compensation paid to the Independent Board Members of the Existing Boards for each Fund’s most recent fiscal year is set forth in Appendix C. No compensation information is shown for Board Members whose term of office will not continue, for certain Funds identified in Appendix C, after November 1, 2007.

Equity Securities Owned by the Nominees: Information relating to the amount of equity securities owned by the Nominees in the Funds that they are nominated to oversee, as well as other funds in the Fund complex, as of March 31, 2007 is set forth in Appendix D.

Attendance of Board Members at Annual Shareholders’ Meetings: It is the policy of certain Funds, identified in Appendix A, to encourage Board Members to attend the annual shareholders’ meeting; however, certain other Funds, identified in Appendix A, do not have a policy with regard to attendance of Board Members at annual shareholders’ meetings.

Existing Board Meetings: Information relating to the number of times that the Existing Boards on which the Board Members served met during each Fund’s most recent fiscal year is set forth in Appendix E.

14

Standing Committees of the Existing Boards: Information relating to the various standing committees of the Existing Boards is set forth in Appendix F.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”): Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the officers and Board Members of each Fund and persons who own more than ten percent of any class of equity securities of a Fund to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC. Officers, Board Members and greater than ten percent shareholders of each Fund are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Fund with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 they file.

Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms, and amendments thereto, with respect to each Fund, furnished to it during or with respect to its most recent fiscal year, and written representations from certain reporting persons that they were not required to file Form 5 with respect to the most recent fiscal year, each Fund believes that all of its officers, Board Members, greater than ten percent beneficial owners and other persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act due to the requirements of Section 30 of the 1940 Act (i.e., any advisory board member, investment adviser or affiliated person of a Fund’s investment adviser) have complied with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions during each Fund’s most recent fiscal year. Due to administrative oversight three Form 4 reports were filed late on behalf of Mr. Hubbard, with respect to BlackRock Long-Term Municipal Advantage Trust, BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust and BlackRock Preferred and Equity Advantage Trust representing three transactions, and one Form 4 report was filed late on behalf of Mr. Dixon, with respect to BlackRock Enhanced Dividend Achievers^™ Trust representing two transactions. There were no known failures to file a required Form.

Officers of the Funds

Information about the officers of each Fund, including their ages and their principal occupations during the past five years, is set forth in Appendix H.

Indemnification of Board Members and Officers

The governing documents of each Fund generally provide that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Fund will indemnify its Board Members and officers against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices with the Fund unless, as to liability to the Fund or its investors, it is finally adjudicated that they engaged in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in their offices. The Funds organized under Massachusetts law generally prohibit indemnification where it is finally adjudicated that those seeking indemnification did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that their actions were in the best interests of the Massachusetts Trust. For Funds incorporated under Maryland law, indemnification is not permitted in the case of actions or omissions committed in bad faith or as a result of active and deliberate dishonesty, which are material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding, or with respect to which an improper personal benefit in money, property or services was received or, in the case of a criminal proceeding, committed with reasonable cause to believe that the action or omission was unlawful. Indemnification provisions contained in a Fund’s governing documents are subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law.

The funds in the Fund complex have also entered into a separate indemnification agreement with the Board Members of each Board (the “Indemnification Agreement”). The Indemnification Agreement (i) extends the indemnification provisions contained in a fund’s governing documents to Board Members who leave that fund’s Board and serve on an advisory board of a different fund in

15

the Fund complex; (ii) sets in place the terms of the indemnification provisions of a fund’s governing documents once a Board Member retires from a Board and (iii) in the case of Board Members who leave a Board of a fund in connection with the Board consolidation contemplated by this Joint Proxy Statement, clarifies that that fund continues to indemnify the Board Member for claims arising out of his or her past service to that fund.

Your Existing Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of each of the Nominees to the New Board.

PROPOSAL 2 —TO AMEND THE DECLARATION OF TRUST OF AMENDING FUNDS

The Declaration of Trust of each Fund listed below (each, an “Amending Fund”) currently permits a maximum of eleven (11) Board Members. In order to accomplish the Board consolidation discussed in Proposal 1 and to obtain the benefit of the Nominees’ collective knowledge and experience, the Existing Board of each Amending Fund approved amending its Declaration of Trust to increase the maximum number of Board Members to fifteen (15), so that all of the Nominees to the New Board of each Amending Fund may be elected to each Amending Fund’s Board and to allow for two additional Board Members to be elected in the future. The Boards considered that the maximum number of Board Members set at fifteen would provide each Amending Fund flexibility in the future to add additional Board Members as the New Board may see fit. In connection with the Board consolidation discussed in Proposal 1, the Boards of the Amending Funds noted that based on their evaluation of the Nominees of each Amending Fund and the conclusions made regarding the benefits of the Board consolidation to shareholders, it would be appropriate for each Amending Fund to have a New Board with thirteen Board Members.

This amendment requires the approval of shareholders of the respective Amending Fund, so the Existing Board of each Amending Fund also approved submitting the amendment to shareholders of each Amending Fund. If Proposal 2 is approved by the shareholders of an Amending Fund, the Declaration of Trust of such Amending Fund will be amended to increase the maximum number of Board Members to fifteen (15). Each Nominee, however, will serve as a Board Member of such Amending Fund only if he or she also is elected a Board Member under Proposal 1. In addition, the approval by shareholders of one Amending Fund is not contingent on the approval by shareholders of any other Amending Fund.

16

Proposal 2:

It is proposed that for each Amending Fund, shareholders vote to amend its Declaration of Trust to change the maximum number of permitted Board Members allowed on its respective New Board to fifteen (15).

VOTE REQUIRED AND MANNER OF VOTING PROXIES

A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Meeting. The quorum requirement for each Fund is set forth in Appendix B. A quorum of the shareholders of a Fund is required in order for that Fund to take any action at the Meeting with respect to Proposal 1 and Proposal 2.

The shareholders of BlackRock Senior Floating Rate Fund, Inc. and BlackRock Senior Floating Rate Fund II, Inc., which are organized as feeder funds in a master/feeder structure in which each such Fund (each, a “Feeder Fund”) invests all or substantially all of its assets in Master Senior Floating Rate LLC (the “Master Fund”), will also vote on Proposal 1 with respect to the election of the Nominees to the Board of the Master Fund.

Votes cast by proxy or in person at each Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that Meeting. The inspectors of election, who may be employees of BlackRock, will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the Meeting. The inspectors of election will treat abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name,” as to which proxies have been returned but (a) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (b) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power or elects not to exercise discretion on a particular matter) as present for purposes of determining a quorum. Shares of AMPS of any Fund held in “street name” may be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum of that Fund if no instructions are received one business day before the applicable Meeting or, if adjourned, one business day before the day to which the Meeting is adjourned.

If you hold your shares directly (not through a broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution) and if you return a properly executed proxy card that does not specify how you wish to vote on a proposal, your shares will be voted “FOR” the Nominees in Proposal 1 and “FOR” Proposal 2.

Broker-dealer firms holding shares of a Fund in “street name” for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 before the Meetings. The Funds understand that, under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), such broker-dealer firms may, without instructions from their customers and clients, grant authority to the proxies designated to vote on the election of Nominees in Proposal 1 and the amendment of the Declaration of Trust of the Amending Funds in Proposal 2 if no instructions have been received prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm’s request for voting instructions. A properly executed proxy card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of Fund shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner’s shares should be voted on Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 may be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the proposal. Beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions or who do not return a proxy card may have their shares voted by broker-dealer firms in favor of Proposals 1 and 2.

If you hold shares of a Fund through a bank or other financial institution or intermediary (called a service agent) that has entered into a service agreement with the Fund or a distributor of the Fund, the service agent may be the record holder of your shares. At the Meetings, a service agent will vote shares for which it receives instructions from its customers in accordance with those instructions. A properly executed proxy card or other authorization by a shareholder that does not specify how the shareholder’s shares should be voted on a proposal may be deemed to authorize a service provider to vote such shares in favor of the proposal. Depending on its policies, applicable law or contractual or other restrictions, a service agent may be permitted to vote shares with respect to which it has not received specific voting instructions from its customers. In those

18

cases, the service agent may, but may not be required to, vote such shares in the same proportion as those shares for which the service agent has received voting instructions. This practice is commonly referred to as “echo voting.”

If you beneficially own shares that are held in “street name” through a broker-dealer or that are held of record by a service agent, and if you do not give specific voting instructions for your shares, they may not be voted at all or, as described above, they may be voted in a manner that you may not intend. Therefore, you are strongly encouraged to give your broker-dealer or service agent specific instructions as to how you want your shares to be voted.

Proposal 1:

• The vote requirement for each Fund to elect Nominees is set forth in Appendix B.

• The shareholders of each Feeder Fund will also vote on Proposal 1 with respect to the election of the Nominees to the Board of the Master Fund.

Proposal 2:

• The holders of AMPS, if any, and the holders of the common stock of an Amending Fund are entitled to vote on Proposal 2 as a single class. Approval of Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares present in person or by proxy at the Meeting at which a quorum exists.

Approval of the proposals will occur only if a sufficient number of votes at the Meeting are cast “FOR” the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against Proposal 1 for Funds (identified in Appendix B) which require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares present, in person or by proxy, and a vote against Proposal 2. However, abstentions and broker non-votes will not have an effect on Proposal 1 for Funds that require a plurality or majority of votes cast.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS

The Board Members, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, of each Fund have selected Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds. D&T, in accordance with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (ISB No. 1), has confirmed to each applicable Audit Committee that it is an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to each Fund.

Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) served as the independent registered public accounting firm of certain Funds* for fiscal years prior to June 30, 2006. Each affected Fund’s Audit Committee approved the engagement of D&T as the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, as well as for the current fiscal year. A majority of the Fund’s Board Members, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, approved the appointment of D&T.

The reports of E&Y on each applicable Fund’s financial statements for each of the last two fiscal years audited by E&Y contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except for BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured Fund, Inc., BlackRock Muni Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund II, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings

* E&Y served as the independent registered public accounting firm of various Funds identified in Appendix I.

19

New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniHoldings Insured II, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield Insured Fund, Inc., and BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund, Inc., whose opinions for those Funds were qualified with respect to the accounting for tender option bonds in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, for those Funds’ most recent two fiscal years. There have been no disagreements with E&Y during such fiscal years and any subsequent interim period on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years.

No representatives of D&T or E&Y will be present at the Meetings.

Each Audit Committee has discussed with D&T its independence with respect to the Fund and certain matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standard No. 61. Each Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm is compatible with maintaining the independence of that registered public accounting firm. Each Audit Committee also reviews and discusses the audit of the Fund’s financial statements with Fund management and the independent registered public accounting firm. If any material concerns arise during the course of the audit and the preparation of the audited financial statements mailed to shareholders and included in the Fund’s Annual Report to Shareholders, the Audit Committee would be notified by Fund management or the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committees received no such notifications for any Fund. Following each Audit Committee’s review and discussion of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, each Audit Committee recommended to the Board Members that the Fund’s audited financial statements for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year for which audited financial statements are available be included in each Fund’s Annual Report to Shareholders.

Each Audit Committee also reviews and discusses the audit of the Fund’s financial statements with Fund management and the independent registered public accounting firm. If any material concerns arise during the course of the audit and the preparation of the audited financial statements mailed to shareholders and included in the Fund’s Annual Report to Shareholders, the Audit Committee would be notified by Fund management or the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committees received no such notifications for any Fund. Following each Audit Committee’s review and discussion of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, each Audit Committee recommended to the Board Members that the Fund’s audited financial statements for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year (each Fund’s fiscal year end is set forth in Appendix I) for which audited financial statements are available be included in each Fund’s Annual Report to Shareholders.

Appendix I sets forth for each Fund, for each applicable Fund’s two most recent fiscal years, the fees billed by that Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for all audit and non-audit services provided directly to the Fund. The fee information in Appendix I is presented under the following captions:

(a) Audit Fees—fees related to the audit and review of the financial statements included in annual reports and registration statements, and other services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, including out-of-pocket expenses.

(b) Audit-Related Fees—fees related to assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements, but not reported under “Audit Fees,” including accounting consultations, agreed-upon procedure reports, attestation reports, comfort letters, out-of-pocket expenses and internal control reviews not required by regulators.

20

(c) Tax Fees—fees associated with tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, including services relating to the filing or amendment of federal, state or local income tax returns, regulated investment company qualification reviews, tax distribution and analysis reviews and miscellaneous tax advice.

(d) All Other Fees—fees for products and services provided to the Fund other than those reported under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees.”

The charter of each Audit Committee requires that the Audit Committee approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided to each Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditors to the investment adviser and any service providers controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provide ongoing services to the Fund (“Affiliated Service Providers”) if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. The Audit Committee has implemented policies and procedures by which such services may be approved other than by the full Committee. See Appendix I to this Joint Proxy Statement for information about the fees paid by the Funds, their investment advisers, and Affiliated Service Providers to each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee of each Fund has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to a Fund on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Fund’s Audit Committee. As noted above, the Audit Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to a Fund and those non-audit services provided to the Fund’s Affiliated Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Certain of these non-audit services that the Audit Committee believes are (a) consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s auditor independence rules and (b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm may be approved by the Audit Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). However, for certain Funds such services will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $5,000 attributable to the Fund or $50,000 for the project as a whole. Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels for those Funds will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee of those Funds, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Audit Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting.

For each Fund’s two most recent fiscal years, there were no services rendered by D&T or E&Y to the Funds for which the pre-approval requirement was waived.

Each Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered by D&T or E&Y to BlackRock Advisors and Affiliated Service Providers that were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with maintaining such auditor’s independence. All services provided by D&T or E&Y to each Fund, BlackRock Advisors or Affiliated Service Providers that were required to be pre-approved were pre-approved as required.

Shareholders may communicate with the Boards electronically by sending an email to closedendfundsbod@blackrock.com. The communication should indicate that you are a Fund shareholder. If the communication is intended for a specific Board Member and so indicates, it will be sent only to that Board Member. If a communication does not indicate a specific Board Member, it will be sent to the chair of the nominating and governance committee and the outside counsel to the Independent Board Members for further distribution as deemed appropriate by such persons.

Additionally, shareholders with complaints or concerns regarding accounting matters may address letters to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), 40 East 52^nd Street, New York, New York 10022-5911. Shareholders who are uncomfortable submitting complaints to the CCO may address letters directly to the Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board that oversees the Fund. Such letters may be submitted on an anonymous basis.

Expense of Proxy Solicitation

The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy, accompanying notice and this Joint Proxy Statement and costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Funds, except for the Funds described in the paragraph below. Additional out-of-pocket costs, such as legal expenses and auditor fees, incurred in connection with the preparation of this Joint Proxy Statement, also will be borne by the Funds except for the Funds described in the paragraph below. Costs that are borne by the Funds collectively will be allocated among the Funds on the basis of a combination of their respective net assets and number of shareholder accounts, except when direct costs can be reasonably attributed to one or more specific Funds.

The portion of the costs associated with this Joint Proxy Statement, including the mailing and the proxy solicitation costs, applicable to each of Master Senior Floating Rate LLC, BlackRock Senior Floating Rate Fund, Inc., BlackRock Senior Floating Rate Fund II, Inc., BlackRock Multi-Strategy Hedge Advantage and BlackRock Multi-Strategy Hedge Opportunities LLC, will be shared equally by BlackRock and each such Fund. Additional out-of-pocket costs, such as legal expenses and auditor fees, incurred in connection with the preparation of this Joint Proxy Statement with respect to those Funds, also will be shared equally by BlackRock and such Funds. These costs are being shared by BlackRock because such Funds do not normally hold annual shareholders’ meetings. Costs that are borne by such Funds collectively will be allocated among the Funds on the basis of a combination of their respective net assets and number of shareholder accounts, except when direct costs can be reasonably attributed to one or more specific Funds.

24

Solicitation may be made by letter or telephone by officers or employees of BlackRock Advisors, or by dealers and their representatives. Brokerage houses, banks and other fiduciaries may be requested to forward proxy solicitation material to their principals to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies. The Funds and BlackRock will reimburse brokerage firms, custodians, banks and fiduciaries for their expenses in forwarding this Joint Proxy Statement and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of each Fund’s shares. The Funds and BlackRock have retained Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717, a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the solicitation of proxies. It is anticipated that Broadridge will be paid approximately $669,559 for such solicitation services (including reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses). Broadridge may solicit proxies personally and by telephone. Each Fund’s portion of the foregoing expenses is not subject to any cap or voluntary agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses that may otherwise apply to that Fund.

General

Management does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that any other items of business will be presented at the Meetings. However, if other matters are properly

25

presented to the Meetings for a vote, the proxies will be voted by the persons acting under the proxies upon such matters in accordance with their judgment of the best interests of the Fund.

A list of shareholders entitled to be present and to vote at the Meeting will be available at the offices of the Funds, 40 East 52^nd Street, New York, New York 10022-5911, for inspection by any shareholder during regular business hours beginning ten days prior to the date of the Meeting.

Failure of a quorum to be present at any Meeting will necessitate adjournment. The persons named in the enclosed proxy may also move for an adjournment of any Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to the proposals if they determine that adjournment and further solicitation are reasonable and in the best interests of shareholders. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Fund present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the time of the Meeting to be adjourned. Any adjourned Meeting or Meetings may be held without the necessity of another notice. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of any such adjournment if they believe the adjournment and additional proxy solicitation are reasonable and in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares that are present at the Meeting.

Please vote promptly by signing and dating each enclosed proxy card, and if received by mail, returning it in the accompanying postage-paid return envelope OR by following the enclosed instructions to provide voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet.

The Board Members who are not “interested persons,” as defined in the 1940 Act, receive a fee for each meeting of the Board and each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at such meetings. The Funds do not provide compensation to any Board Member who is an “interested person,” as defined in the 1940 Act. Information regarding compensation, including amounts deferred, paid to the non-interested Board Members of Board 5 for each Fund’s most recent fiscal year is set forth below.

Each Fund pays a pro rata portion (based on relative net assets) of the following Board Member fees paid by the Funds in the Fund complex for which they serve: (i) $190,000 per annum for each Independent Board Member as a retainer and (ii) $3,000 per day for each Independent Board Member for each special meeting of each Board in the Fund complex for which they serve (i.e., any meeting, whether telephonic or in person, other than one of the six regularly scheduled meetings of each board per year) attended. Each Independent Board Member is also entitled to reimbursement for all of his or her out-of-pocket expenses in attending each meeting of each Board and any committee thereof. Mr. Cavanagh receives an additional $60,000 per annum from the Funds in the Fund complex for which he serves for acting as the lead trustee for each Board plus an additional $60,000 per annum for his service as chairman of the Audit Committee. Messrs. Dixon and Fabozzi receive an additional $30,000 per annum from the Funds in the Fund complex for which they serve for their service on the Audit Committee of such Funds. This additional compensation to Messrs. Cavanagh, Dixon and Fabozzi will be allocated among the Funds in the Fund complex for which they serve based on their relative net assets. Certain of the above fees paid to the Independent Board Members will be subject to mandatory deferrals pursuant to such Funds’ deferred compensation plan. The Independent Board Members have agreed that at least $30,000 of their $190,000 retainer will be mandatorily deferred pursuant to such deferred compensation plan. Also, members of the Audit Committee of the Funds in the Fund complex for which they serve will be required to defer $20,000 of the per annum fee they will receive for their services on the Audit Committee pursuant to the deferred compensation plan. Under the deferred compensation plan, deferred amounts earn a return for the Independent Board Members as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of certain other Funds in the Fund complex for which they serve selected by the Independent Board Members. This has approximately the same economic effect for the Independent Board Members as if they had invested the deferred amounts in such other Funds in the Fund complex for which they serve. The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of a Fund. A Fund may, however, elect to invest in common shares of those Funds selected by the Independent Board Members in order to match its deferred compensation obligations. For the year ended December 31, 2006, all Funds supervised by Board 5 reimbursed Board Member expenses in an aggregate amount of $41,757.69.

Appendix F

Standing Committees of the Boards

The business and affairs of each Fund are managed by or under the direction of its Board.

Audit Committee. Each Board has a standing Audit Committee comprised of all Independent Board Members (except, in the case of Board 5, comprised of Messrs. Cavanagh, Dixon and Fabozzi). The primary purposes of each Board’s Audit Committee are to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the integrity of the accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices of the Funds, the qualifications and independence of the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm, and the Funds’ compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committees review the scope of the Funds’ audit, accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and internal controls. The Audit Committees approve, and recommend to the Independent Board Members for their ratification, the selection, appointment, retention or termination of the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firms. The Audit Committees also approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firms to its manager or adviser and any affiliated service providers if the engagement relates directly to the Fund’s operations and financial reporting of the Fund.

Governance or Nominating Committee. Each Board has a standing Governance Committee or Nominating Committee. All Board Members who are not “interested persons,” within the meaning of the 1940 Act, are members of the Governance or Nominating Committee.

Each Governance or Nominating Committee is responsible for, among other things, recommending candidates to fill vacancies on the Board. The Governance Committee also is responsible for, among other things, the scheduling and organization of Board meetings, evaluating the structure and composition of the board and determining compensation of the Fund’s non-interested Board Members. The Governance Committee may also take into consideration the number of shares held by the recommending shareholder and the length of time that such shares have been held. To have a candidate considered by the Governance Committee, a shareholder must submit the recommendation in writing and must include:

• The name of the shareholder and evidence of the person’s ownership of shares of the Fund, including the number of shares owned and the length of time of ownership; and

• The name of the candidate, the candidate’s resume or a listing of his or her qualifications to be a Board Member of the Fund and the person’s consent to be named as a Board Member if selected by the Governance Committee and nominated by the Board.

Appendix G

Audit Committee Charters

Audit Committee Charter

(Boards 1, 2, 3 and 4)

This document serves as the Charter for the Audit Committee for the registered investment companies (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) listed on Appendix A hereto (each such Charter being a separate Charter). The Board of Directors/Trustees of each Fund (the “Board”) has adopted the following Audit Committee Charter (the “Charter”).

I. Composition of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee shall be composed of at least three Directors/Trustees:

(a) each of whom shall not be an “interested person” of the Fund, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) (each, an “Independent Director”);

(b) each of whom shall not accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the Fund (other than fees for serving on the Board or any committee thereof and fixed amounts of compensation under a retirement plan for prior service with a Fund listed or quoted on a stock exchange or market quotation system (“Listed Fund”)); and

(c) each of whom shall satisfy the independence and experience requirements for any stock exchange or market quotation system on which Fund shares are or become listed or quoted.

The Board shall use its best efforts to ensure that at least one of the members of the Audit Committee is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. For those Funds listed on the New York Stock Exchange, no member of the Audit Committee may serve on more than three public company audit committees unless the Board determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such member to serve effectively on the Audit Committee.

II. Purposes of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee shall be responsible for:

(1) assisting Board oversight of the

(a) integrity of the Fund’s financial statements;

(b) Fund’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

(c) independent accountants’ qualifications and independence; and

(d) performance of the Fund’s internal audit function and the Fund’s independent accountants; and

(2) [for Listed Funds] preparation, or overseeing the preparation of, any audit committee report required by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission to be included in the Fund’s proxy statement for its annual meeting of shareholders.

G-1

III. Responsibilities and Duties of the Audit Committee

The Fund’s independent accountants shall report directly to the Audit Committee.

As may be necessary or appropriate to carry out its purposes, or to comply with applicable law or the requirements of any securities exchange or market quotation system on which Fund shares are or may become listed or quoted, the Audit Committee shall have the following responsibilities and duties:

(a) the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the Fund’s independent accountants, including the resolution of disagreements between management and the independent accountants regarding financial reporting;

(b) to (i) select an accounting firm to (1) serve as the Fund’s independent accountants, (2) audit the Fund’s financial statements on an annual basis, and (3) provide an opinion on an annual basis with respect to the Fund’s financial statements, and (ii) recommend that the Independent Directors ratify such selection;

(c) to pre-approve (i) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Fund by the Fund’s independent accountants and (ii) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund’s independent accountants to the Fund’s investment adviser or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser (“adviser affiliate”) that provides ongoing services to the Fund, if the engagement by the adviser affiliate relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund;

(d) if determined to be advisable, to develop policies and procedures for pre-approval of the engagement of the Fund’s independent accountants to provide any of the audit or non-audit services described in Section III(c) above;

(e) to consider whether each non-audit service provided by the Fund’s independent accountants to the Fund and to the Fund’s investment adviser or any adviser affiliate that provides ongoing services to the Fund is compatible with maintaining the independence of such independent accountants;

(f) to ensure that the Fund’s independent accountants submit on a periodic basis to the Audit Committee a formal written statement delineating all relationships between such independent accountants and the Fund, consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, and to actively engage in a dialogue with, and receive and consider specific representations from, the Fund’s independent accountants with respect to any disclosed relationships or services that may affect the objectivity and independence of such independent accountants;

(g) to review the arrangements for annual and special audits and the scope of such audits with the Fund’s independent accountants;

(h) [for Listed Funds] to meet to review and discuss the Fund’s audited financial statements and, to the extent required by applicable law or regulations, the Fund’s semi-annual financial statements with Fund management and the Fund’s independent accountants, including the Fund’s disclosure of management’s discussion of Fund performance;

(i) to review with the Fund’s independent accountants any audit problems or difficulties the accountants may have encountered during or relating to the conduct of the audit, including any matters required to be discussed pursuant to Statement of Accounting Standards No. 61, or any subsequent Statement, and management’s response;

(j) to establish and administer policies and procedures relating to the hiring by the Fund, its investment adviser, or any administrator that is an adviser affiliate of employees or former employees of the Fund’s independent accountants;

G-2

(k) to consider information and comments from the Fund’s independent accountants with respect to the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies, procedures and internal control over financial reporting (including the Fund’s critical accounting policies and practices) and management’s responses to any such comments;

(l) to request, receive and/or review from the Fund’s independent accountants such other materials as may be deemed necessary or advisable in the discretion of the Committee in the exercise of its duties under this Charter; such materials may (but are not required to) include, without limitation, any other material written communications bearing on the Fund’s financial statements, or internal or disclosure controls, between the independent accountants and the Fund, the investment adviser, the Fund’s sub-adviser(s), if any, or other Fund service providers, such as any management letter or schedule of unadjusted differences;

(m) at least annually, to obtain and review a report by the Fund’s independent accountants describing: (i) such independent accountants’ internal quality-control procedures; (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of such independent accountants, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years, respecting one or more independent audits carried out by such firm, and any steps taken to deal with any such issues; and (iii) all relationships between the Fund’s independent accountants and the Fund, the investment adviser and adviser affiliates (to assess the independence of the Fund’s independent accountants);

(n) [for Listed Funds] to discuss in general the Fund’s earnings press releases, as well as any financial information and earnings guidance provided to analysts and rating agencies, if any (e.g., the types of information to be disclosed and the type of presentation to be made);

(o) to establish procedures for: (i) the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by the Fund regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters; and (ii) the confidential, anonymous submission of concerns by employees of the Fund’s investment adviser, manager, administrator, principal underwriter, or any other provider of accounting related services for the Fund regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters;

(p) to address reports received from attorneys in accordance with procedures adopted by the Fund’s investment adviser relating to the possible violation of federal or state law or fiduciary duty;

(q) [for Listed Funds] to discuss with Fund management and the Fund’s independent accountants policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management;

(r) [for Listed Funds] to assist the Fund, if necessary, in preparing any written affirmation or written certification required to be filed with any stock exchange or market quotation system on which Fund shares are or become listed or quoted;

(s) on an annual basis, to review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter, recommend any changes to the Board, and evaluate the performance of the Audit Committee; and

(t) to perform such other functions and to have such other powers consistent with this Charter, the Fund’s Articles of Incorporation or Declaration of Trust, as amended and supplemented, the Fund’s By-laws, as amended, and applicable law, as the Audit Committee or the Board deems necessary or appropriate.

G-3

The Audit Committee may delegate any portion of its authority, including the authority to grant preapprovals of audit related services and permitted non-audit services, to a subcomittee of one or more members of the Audit Committee pursuant to preapproval policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee; provided, however, that the Audit Committee may not delegate preapproval of the audit required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Any decision of such subcommittee of the Audit Committee to grant preapprovals shall be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

The function of the Audit Committee is oversight; it is the responsibility of Fund management to maintain appropriate systems for accounting and internal control over financial reporting, and the responsibility of the Fund’s independent accountants to plan and carry out a proper audit. Specifically, Fund management is responsible for: (1) the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Fund’s financial statements; (2) the maintenance of appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies; and (3) the maintenance of internal control over financial reporting and other procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and related laws and regulations. The Fund’s independent accountants are responsible for planning and carrying out an audit consistent with applicable legal and professional standards and the terms of their engagement letter. Nothing in this Charter shall be construed to reduce the responsibilities or liabilities of the Fund’s service providers, including the Fund’s independent accountants.

Although the Audit Committee is expected to review appropriately the matters that come before it, such review of a Fund’s financial statements by the Audit Committee is not an audit, nor does the Committee’s review substitute for the responsibilities of the Fund’s management for preparing, or the Fund’s independent accountants for auditing, the financial statements. Members of the Audit Committee are not full-time employees of the Fund and, in serving on the Audit Committee, are not, and do not hold themselves out to be, acting as accountants or auditors. As such, it is not the duty or responsibility of the Audit Committee or its members to conduct “field work” or other types of auditing or accounting reviews or procedures.

In discharging their duties, the members of the Audit Committee are entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, if prepared or presented by: (1) one or more officers of the Fund whom the Board reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented; (2) legal counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters the Board reasonably believes are within the person’s professional or expert competence; or (3) a committee of the Board.

IV. Meetings

The Audit Committee shall meet on a regular basis but no less frequently than annually. The Audit Committee periodically shall meet separately with the Fund’s independent accountants, Fund management, and representatives of Fund management responsible for the financial and accounting operations of the Fund. The Audit Committee may hold special meetings at such times as the Audit Committee believes necessary or appropriate. Members of the Audit Committee may participate in a meeting of the Audit Committee by means of conference call or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in such meeting can hear each other.

V. Assistance from Fund Management; Authority to Engage Advisers; Funding

The appropriate officers of the Fund shall provide or arrange to provide such information, data and services as the Audit Committee may request. The Audit Committee shall have the power and

G-4

authority to take all action it believes necessary or appropriate to discharge its responsibilities, including the power and authority to retain independent counsel and other advisers. The Fund shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the Audit Committee as a committee of the Board, for payment of: (i) compensation to the Fund’s independent accountants or any other accounting firm engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review, or attest services for the Fund, (ii) compensation to any advisers employed by the Audit Committee under this Section V, and (iii) ordinary administrative expenses of the Audit Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its responsibilities.

VI. Reporting

The Chairman or Chairwoman of the Audit Committee shall report to the Board on the results of its deliberations and make such recommendations as deemed necessary or appropriate.

VII. Amendments

This Charter may be amended or modified from time to time by vote of the Board.

Audit Committee Charter

(Board 5)

JOINT AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

OF

THE BLACKROCK CLOSED-END FUNDS

(the “Fund” or “Funds”)

AS APPROVED BY THE BOARDS OF TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS

FEBRUARY, 2007(1)

I. THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE

Each Fund shall have an audit committee (the “Committee”) of its Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”). The Committee will be composed of at least three members of the Board, each of whom is independent (i.e. not an “interested person” of the Fund, as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940). No member of the Committee shall directly or indirectly receive any compensation from the Fund, or any subsidiary thereof, if applicable, except compensation for services as a member of the Fund’s Board or a committee of the Board.(2) Members shall have no relationships with the Fund or its investment adviser, administrator or custodian that may interfere with the exercise of their independence from management of the Fund. The members and the Committee chair shall be elected by the full Board.

Each member shall be “financially literate” as the Board interprets such qualification in its business judgment. At least one member shall have accounting or related financial management expertise, as the Board interprets such qualification in its business judgment. The Board shall determine annually whether any member of the Committee is an “audit committee financial expert” (“ACFE”) as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. The Board may presume that an ACFE has the requisite accounting or related financial management expertise. The designation of a person as an ACFE shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on that person than the responsibility or liability imposed on such person as a member of the Committee.

In the event a member simultaneously serves on the audit committees of more than three public companies, the Board shall determine whether such simultaneous service would impair the ability of such member to effectively serve on the Fund’s audit committee. The Board has determined that simultaneous service on the Committee of each Fund shall be deemed to be equivalent to service on the audit committee of a single public company for purposes of this requirement and that such service does not impair the ability of a member to effectively serve on the Committee of any single Fund.

(1) This Joint Audit Committee Charter, if adopted, supercedes and replaces all prior versions that may have been adopted from time to time. Solely for the sake of clarity and simplicity, this Joint Audit Committee Charter has been drafted as if there is a single Fund, a single Audit Committee, a single Governance Committee and a single Board. The terms "Audit Committee," "Independent Trustees" and "Board" mean the Audit Committee, Independent Trustees and Board of each Fund, respectively, unless the context otherwise requires. The Audit Committee, and members of the Board of each Fund, however, shall act separately and in the best interests of each respective Fund.

(2) For this purpose, compensation includes any compensation paid by a Fund or a subsidiary for services to a law firm, accounting firm, consulting firm, investment bank or financial advisory firm in which the Committee member is a partner, member, executive officer or holds a similar position.

G-10

Fund stockholders or by management in the same manner as it deems appropriate.

(Board 5)

JOINT GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE CHARTER

OF THE

BOARDS OF TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS OF

THE BLACKROCK CLOSED-END FUNDS

AS APPROVED BY THE BOARDS OF TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS

February 2007(3)

I. PURPOSE OF THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

The purposes of the Governance Committee (the "Governance Committee") of the Board of Trustees/Directors (the "Board") of each BlackRock Closed-End Fund (each a "Trust")(4) are to (1) identify individuals qualified to serve on the Board as trustees/directors that are "independent" as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (the "Independent Trustees"), and to select, or to recommend that the Board select, the Board nominees for the next annual meeting of shareholders, (2) advise the Board with respect to Board composition, procedures and committees (other than the Audit Committee), (3) oversee periodic evaluations of the Board and any committees of the Board (other than the Audit Committee), (4) monitor corporate governance matters and make recommendations to the Board, and (5) act as the administrative committee with respect to Board policies and procedures, committee policies and procedures (other than the Audit Committee) and codes of ethics.

II. COMPOSITION OF THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

The Governance Committee shall be comprised of all the Independent Trustees of the Trust, and the chairperson of the Governance Committee will be the lead trustee/director of the Independent Trustees. The chairperson of the Governance Committee shall have the following responsibilities:

(1) preside over Board meetings in the absence of the chairperson of the Board;

(2) preside over Governance Committee meetings and executive sessions of the Independent Trustees;

(3) serve as the principal liaison between the Independent Trustees and management;

(4) participate in the preparation of the Board meeting agenda; and

(5) participate in setting meeting schedules.

(3) This Joint Governance Committee Charter, if adopted, will supercede and replaces all prior versions that may have been adopted from time to time.

(4) Solely for the sake of clarity and simplicity, this Joint Governance Committee Charter has been drafted as if there is a single Trust, a single Governance Committee, a single Audit Committee and a single Board. The terms "Governance Committee," "Audit Committee" and "Board" mean each "Governance Committee," Audit Committee" and "Board" as it relates to its respective Trust, unless the context otherwise requires. The Governance Committee, Audit Committee and Board of each Trust, however, shall act separately and in the best interests of its respective Trust.

G-12

III. MEETINGS AND PROCEDURES OF THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

The Governance Committee shall fix its own rules of procedure, which shall be consistent with the Declaration of Trust of the Trust (or other charter document of the Trust), the Bylaws of the Trust and this Joint Governance Committee Charter. The Committee shall meet as provided by its rules, which shall be at least quarterly in a session at which no trustees/directors who are interested persons of the Trust are present, or more frequently as circumstances require. The chairperson of the Governance Committee or a majority of the members of the Governance Committee may also call a special meeting of the Governance Committee.

A majority of the members of the Governance Committee present in person or by means of a conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other shall constitute a quorum. The Governance Committee may also take action by the written consent, if the number of trustees required for approval of such action at a meeting of Trustees consent to the action in writing and the written consents are filed with the records of meetings of the Governance Committee, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

The Governance Committee may form subcommittees for any purpose that the Governance Committee deems appropriate and may delegate to such subcommittees such power and authority as the Governance Committee deems appropriate; provided, however, that no subcommittee shall consist of fewer than two members; and provided further that the Governance Committee shall not delegate to a subcommittee any power or authority required by any law, regulation or listing standard to be exercised by the Governance Committee or the Independent Trustees as a whole.

The Governance Committee may request that any trustees/directors, officers or employees of the Trust, or other persons whose advice and counsel are sought by the Governance Committee, attend any meeting of the Governance Committee to provide such pertinent information as the Governance Committee requests.

For the sake of increased efficiency and for the dissemination of knowledge throughout the closed-end fund complex, each Governance Committee may meet jointly with any other Governance Committee in the closed-end fund complex.

The Governance Committee shall keep written minutes of its meetings, which minutes shall be maintained with the books and records of the Trust and delivered to the Board, including a description of all actions taken by the Governance Committee at the meeting.

IV. AUTHORITY

The Governance Committee shall have the authority to carry out its duties and responsibilities as set forth in this Joint Governance Committee Charter. The Governance Committee shall have sole authority to retain and terminate any search firm to be used to identify Independent Trustee candidates, including sole authority to approve the search firm’s fees and other retention terms.
