Dear Shareholder:

A joint annual meeting of the shareholders of the BlackRock Closed-End Funds listed in Appendix A to the enclosed joint proxy statement (each, a “Fund”) will be held on Thursday, July 29, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time), to consider and vote on the proposal discussed in the enclosed joint proxy statement. Because of our concerns regarding the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. Shareholders will not have to travel to attend the meeting but will be able to view the meeting live and cast their votes by accessing a web link.

The purpose of the meeting is to seek shareholder approval of the nominees named in the enclosed joint proxy statement to the Boards of Directors or Trustees (each, a “Board” and collectively, the “Boards,” the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of each Fund. Each Board has unanimously approved the nominees named in the enclosed joint proxy statement on behalf of its Fund (the “Board Nominees”), subject to approval by the Fund’s shareholders. The Boards have reviewed the qualifications and backgrounds of the Board Nominees and believe that they possess the requisite experience in overseeing investment companies and that their election is in your best interest.

The Board Members responsible for your Fund recommend that you vote “FOR” the Board Nominees for your Fund. In connection with your vote, we urge you to read the full text of the enclosed joint proxy statement.

You have received this joint proxy statement because you were a shareholder of record of at least one of the Funds listed in Appendix A on June 1, 2021 (the “Record Date”). Certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds not listed in Appendix A will also hold annual meetings of shareholders on the date stated above, but at a different time. If you were also a shareholder of record on the Record Date of one or more of such other funds, you will receive a separate proxy statement and proxy card(s) relating to such fund(s). Please be certain to vote by telephone or via the Internet with respect to each fund in which you are a shareholder of record or sign, date and return each proxy card you receive from us.

Your vote is important. Attendance at the annual meeting will be limited to each Fund’s shareholders as of the Record Date.

If you are a beneficial shareholder of a Fund (that is if you hold your shares of a Fund through a bank, broker, financial intermediary or other nominee) and want to attend the meeting you must register in advance of the meeting. To register, you must submit proof of your proxy power (legal proxy) reflecting your Fund holdings along with your name and email address to Georgeson LLC, the Funds’ tabulator. You may email an image of your legal proxy to shareholdermeetings@computershare.com. Requests for registration must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) three business days prior to the meeting date. You will receive a confirmation email from Georgeson LLC (through Computershare) of your registration and a control number and security code that will allow you to vote at the meeting.

Even if you plan to attend the meeting, please promptly follow the enclosed instructions to submit your voting instructions by telephone or via 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.

We encourage you to carefully review the enclosed materials, which explain this proposal in more detail. As a shareholder, your vote is important, and we hope that you will respond today to ensure that your shares will be represented at the meeting. You may vote using one of the methods below by following the instructions on your proxy card or voting instruction form(s):

•

By touch-tone telephone;

•

By Internet;

•

By signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form(s) in the postage-paid envelope; or

•

By participating at the meeting as described above.

If you do not vote using one of these methods, you may be called by Georgeson LLC, the Funds’ proxy solicitor, to vote your shares.

If you have any questions about the proposal to be voted on or the virtual meeting, please call Georgeson LLC, the firm assisting us in the solicitation of proxies, toll free at 1-866-328-5445.

Sincerely,

Janey Ahn

Secretary of the Funds

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

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

Why am I receiving the joint proxy statement?

Each Fund is required to hold an annual meeting of shareholders for the election of Board Members. This joint proxy statement describes a proposal to approve the nominees to the Board of the Fund(s) in which you own shares and provides you with other information relating to the meeting. The enclosed proxy card(s) indicate the Fund(s) in which you own shares. The table starting on page 9 of the joint proxy statement identifies the Board Members, including the Board Nominees, for each Fund.

Will my vote make a difference?

YES. Your vote is very important and can make a difference in the governance and management of your Fund(s), no matter how many shares you own. We encourage all shareholders to participate in the governance of their Fund(s). Your vote can help ensure that the Board Nominees will be elected.

How do the Boards of the Funds recommend that I vote?

The Boards have reviewed the qualifications and backgrounds of the Board Nominees and believe that the Board Nominees possess the requisite experience in overseeing investment companies and are familiar with the Funds and their investment advisers. The Boards have approved the Board Nominees named in the joint proxy statement, believe their election is in your best interest and unanimously recommend that you vote “FOR” each Board Nominee.

When and where will the meeting be held?

The meeting will be held on Thursday, July 29, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time). Because of our concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. Shareholders will not have to travel to attend the meeting but will be able to view the meeting live and cast their votes by accessing a web link.

How do I vote my shares?

You can provide voting instructions by telephone, by calling the toll-free number on the proxy card(s) or on the Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be Held on July 29, 2021 (the “Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials”), or by going to the Internet address provided on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy card(s) and following the instructions. If you vote by telephone or via 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 to the voting website and confirm that your voting instructions are properly recorded. 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 (them) in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

You may also vote at the meeting; however, even if you plan to attend the virtual meeting, we still encourage you to provide voting instructions by one of the methods discussed above. In addition, we ask that you please note the following:

Also, if you are a beneficial shareholder of a Fund, you will not be able to vote at the virtual meeting unless you have registered in advance to attend the meeting. To register, you must submit proof of your proxy power (legal proxy) reflecting your Fund holdings along with your name and email address to Georgeson LLC (“Georgeson”), the Funds’ tabulator.

You will receive a confirmation email from Georgeson (through Computershare) of your registration and a control number and security code that will allow you to vote at the Meeting.

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

The costs associated with the joint proxy statement, including the printing, distribution and proxy solicitation costs, will be borne by the Funds. 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. 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 Funds and BlackRock, Inc. have retained Georgeson, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, 9^th Floor, New York, NY 10104, a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the distribution of proxy materials and the solicitation and tabulation of proxies. It is anticipated that Georgeson will be paid approximately $78,000 for such services (including reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses).

Whom do I call if I have questions?

If you need more information, or have any questions about voting, please call Georgeson, the Funds’ proxy solicitor, toll free at 1-866-328-5445.

Please vote now. Your vote is important.

To avoid the wasteful and unnecessary expense of further solicitation and no matter how large or small your holdings may be, we urge you to indicate your voting instructions on the enclosed proxy card(s), and if received by mail, date and sign it (them) and return it (them) promptly in the postage-paid envelope provided, or record your voting instructions by telephone or via the Internet. If you submit a properly executed proxy card but do not indicate how you wish your shares to be voted, your shares will be voted “FOR” the election of the Board Nominees. If your shares of a Fund 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.

JOINT PROXY STATEMENT

This joint proxy statement (this “Proxy Statement”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Boards of Directors or Trustees (each, a “Board,” and collectively, the “Boards,” the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of each BlackRock Closed-End Fund listed in Appendix A of this Proxy Statement (each, a “Fund”). The proxies will be voted at the joint annual meeting (the “meeting”) of shareholders of the Funds and at any and all adjournments, postponements or delays thereof. The meeting will be held on Thursday, July 29, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time). The meeting will be held for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be Held on July 29, 2021. Because of our concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only.

The Boards of the Funds have determined that the use of this Proxy Statement for the meeting is in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by the shareholders of each Fund. Distribution to shareholders of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials, or the Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be Held on July 29, 2021 (the “Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials”), will commence on or about June 8, 2021.

Each Fund listed in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement is organized as a Maryland corporation (each, a “Maryland Corporation”), a Maryland statutory trust (a “Maryland Trust”) or a Delaware statutory trust (each, a “Delaware Trust”). The Maryland Corporations, the Maryland Trust and the Delaware Trusts are closed-end management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). A list identifying each Fund as a Maryland Corporation, a Maryland Trust or a Delaware Trust is set forth in Appendix A.

Shareholders of record of a Fund as of the close of business on June 1, 2021 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at that Fund’s annual meeting of shareholders and at any and all adjournments, postponements or delays thereof. Shareholders of the Funds are entitled to one vote for each share held, with no shares having cumulative voting rights. Holders of Preferred Shares (as defined below) will have equal voting rights with the holders of shares of common stock or common shares of beneficial interest (collectively, the “Common Shares”) of the Preferred Funds (as defined below). Holders of Preferred Shares will vote together with the holders of Common Shares as a single class on each nominee to the Board of each Preferred Fund in which they own Preferred Shares, except that holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to vote separately as a class to elect two Board Members for each Preferred Fund in which they own Preferred Shares. With respect to the Preferred Funds (as defined below), the Board Members representing holders of Preferred Shares are Class I and Class II Board Members and only Class II Board Members are standing for election this year. The quorum and voting requirements for each Fund are described in the section herein entitled “Vote Required and Manner of Voting Proxies.”

As used herein, the “Preferred Shares” consist of the variable rate muni term preferred shares (collectively, the “VMTP Shares”) of each of the Funds identified in Appendix A as having

VMTP Shares outstanding (collectively, the “VMTP Funds”), the remarketable variable rate muni term preferred shares (collectively, the “RVMTP Shares”) of the Fund identified in Appendix A as having RVMTP Shares outstanding (the “RVMTP Fund”), and the variable rate demand preferred shares (collectively, the “VRDP Shares”) of each of the Funds identified in Appendix A as having VRDP Shares outstanding (collectively, the “VRDP Funds”). The “Preferred Funds” are collectively defined as the VMTP Funds, the RVMTP Fund and the VRDP Funds.

The number of shares outstanding of each Fund as of the close of business on the Record Date and the managed assets of each Fund on the Record Date are shown in Appendix A. Except as set forth in Appendix H, to the knowledge of each Fund, as of April 30, 2021, no person was the beneficial owner of more than five percent of a class of a Fund’s outstanding shares.

The Fund(s) in which you owned shares on the Record Date is named on the proxy card(s) or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. If you owned shares of more than one Fund on the Record Date, you may receive more than one proxy card or voting instruction form. 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 via the Internet, please vote on the proposal affecting EACH Fund you own. If you vote by telephone or via 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 to the voting website and confirm that your voting instructions are properly recorded.

All properly executed proxies received prior to the meeting will be voted at the meeting and at any and all adjournments, postponements or delays thereof. On any matter coming before the meeting as to which a shareholder has specified a choice on that shareholder’s proxy, the shares will be voted accordingly. If a proxy card 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 via 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 New York address provided herein), by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the virtual meeting and voting at the meeting, 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, broker or other intermediary, please consult your bank, broker or intermediary regarding your ability to revoke voting instructions after such instructions have been provided.

Certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds not listed in Appendix A will also hold their annual meetings of shareholders on the date stated above, but at a different time. If you were also a shareholder of record on the Record Date of one or more of those other funds, you will receive a separate proxy statement and proxy card(s) relating to such fund(s). Please be certain to vote by telephone or via the Internet with respect to each fund in which you are a shareholder of record or sign, date and return each proxy card you receive from us.

If your shares in a Fund are registered in your name, you may attend and participate in the meeting at www.meetingcenter.io/230018140 by entering the control number found in the shaded box on your proxy card and password BLKA2021 on the date and time of the meeting.

To register, you must submit proof of your proxy power (legal proxy)

⁽¹⁾

The Class II Board Nominees for BGIO, HYT, DSU, CII, EGF, FRA, BSTZ, BMEZ and BCAT are R. Glenn Hubbard, W. Carl Kester, John M. Perlowski and Karen P. Robards. For each other Fund, the Class II Board Nominees are Frank J. Fabozzi, J. Phillip Holloman, Catherine A. Lynch and Karen P. Robards. For the Preferred Funds, each of the Class II Board Nominees are voted upon by the holders of Common Shares and Preferred Shares of each respective Preferred Fund voting together as a single class, except for Mr. Fabozzi, who is the Preferred Shares Nominee (as defined below) for each Preferred Fund. For the Preferred Funds, Mr. Fabozzi is voted upon by the holders of Preferred Shares of each respective Preferred Fund voting as a separate class. For Funds other than the Preferred Funds, each nominee is voted upon by the holders of Common Shares of each respective Fund voting as a single class. Please see the description herein under “PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF BOARD NOMINEES.”

⁽²⁾

With respect to the Preferred Funds, Frank J. Fabozzi and W. Carl Kester are currently the Board Members elected solely by the owners of Preferred Shares. Only Frank J. Fabozzi is standing for election this year as a Preferred Shares Nominee. Mr. Fabozzi is voted upon by the holders of Preferred Shares of each respective Preferred Fund voting as a separate class. W. Carl Kester’s term as a Board Member of the Preferred Funds is scheduled to expire in 2023; therefore, he is not standing for election this year as a Preferred Shares Nominee. Please see the description herein under “PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF BOARD NOMINEES” for a more detailed discussion regarding the Preferred Shares Nominee.

PROPOSAL 1—ELECTION OF BOARD NOMINEES

The purpose of Proposal 1 is to elect Board Members for each Fund.

Nominees for each Fund. The Board of each Fund consists of ten Board Members, eight of whom are not “interested persons” of the Funds (as defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Board Members”). Effective June 10, 2021, the Board of each Fund will consist of twelve Board Members, ten of whom will be Independent Board Members. The Funds divide their Board Members into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III, and generally only one class of Board Members stands for election each year.

Under this classified board structure, generally only those Board Members in a single class may be replaced in any one year. The Board believes that it is in the best interest of the Funds, as closed-end, exchange traded investment companies subject to extensive regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), to continue to have a classified board structure. The Board believes that a classified board structure provides a Fund and its shareholders with important benefits. The Board believes that a classified board structure promotes continuity of experiences and an orderly succession of Board Members by ensuring that at any given time there are experienced board members serving on the Board who are familiar with such Fund, its business, operations and investment and compliance policies, and its relationships with its services providers. Specifically, the Board believes that a classified board structure: (a) creates a more experienced Board that is better able to identify and accomplish long-term objectives in supervising the management of the Funds; (b) enhances the independence of the Independent Board Members from management and from special interest groups by providing them with a three-year term of office, so they are better positioned to make decisions that are in the best long-term interest of the Funds and their shareholders; (c) strengthens the Funds’ ability to attract and retain qualified individuals who are willing to make multi-year commitments to the Funds and to develop a deep understanding of the Funds; (d) allows new Board Members an opportunity to gain knowledge from experienced Board Members; (e) helps prevent complete changes in control and corresponding changes in fund philosophy or strategies in any one year; and (f) protects against abrupt changes in a Fund based on the short-term objectives of shareholders who may seek to implement an agenda that is contrary to the long-term interest of Fund shareholders.

The Board further believes that the considerations with respect to classified boards in the closed-end, exchange traded investment company context are different than those for traditional operating companies, and in this regard notes that the classified board structure is expressly acknowledged by the 1940 Act, the principal regulatory regime governing the Funds and their operations. The role of a board of a closed-end, exchange traded investment company is different in material respects to the role of a board of directors of a traditional operating company. For example, an investment company’s board has the primary responsibility for oversight of the fund’s service providers and management of conflicts of interest involving the fund, including oversight of the fund’s investment advisory arrangements. A traditional operating company does not have investment advisers and is not subject to the same types of conflicts of interests that an investment company’s board must oversee. Additionally, an investment company registered pursuant to the 1940 Act is subject to extensive regulation with respect to governance and operations that requires independence of its board members and makes them accountable to shareholders. The Board believes that a classified board structure is consistent with good corporate governance, which depends principally on active and independent board members who have extensive business experience and are knowledgeable about critical aspects of the Funds.

The Class II Board Members are standing for election this year. The Class II Board Nominees for BGIO, HYT, DSU, CII, EGF, FRA, BSTZ, BMEZ and BCAT are R. Glenn Hubbard, W. Carl Kester,

John M. Perlowski and Karen P. Robards. For each other Fund, the Class II Board Nominees are Frank J. Fabozzi, J. Phillip Holloman, Catherine A. Lynch and Karen P. Robards. Each Class II Board Member elected at the meeting will serve until the later of the date of the 2024 annual meeting or until his or her successor is elected and qualifies, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal.

With respect to the Preferred Funds, the owners of Preferred Shares are entitled to vote as a separate class to elect two of the Board Members (the “Preferred Shares Nominees”) for the Preferred Fund in which they own Preferred Shares. This means that owners of Common Shares are not entitled to vote in connection with the election of the Preferred Shares Nominees. However, the owners of Common Shares and the owners of Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class, are entitled to elect the remainder of the Board Nominees. Frank J. Fabozzi and W. Carl Kester are currently the Board Members elected solely by the owners of Preferred Shares. Only Frank J. Fabozzi is standing for election this year as a Preferred Shares Nominee. W. Carl Kester’s term as a Board Member of the Preferred Funds is scheduled to expire in 2023. Therefore, he is not standing for election this year as a Preferred Shares Nominee.

With respect to BGIO, HYT, DSU, CII, EGF, FRA, BSTZ, BMEZ and BCAT, the Board recommends a vote “FOR” the election of R. Glenn Hubbard, W. Carl Kester, John M. Perlowski and Karen P. Robards. With respect to all of the other Funds, the Board recommends a vote “FOR” the election of Frank J. Fabozzi, J. Phillip Holloman, Catherine A. Lynch and Karen P. Robards. The aforementioned nominees to the Board of each Fund are collectively referred to herein as the “Board Nominees.” To vote for the Board Nominees, please vote by telephone or via the Internet, as described in the proxy card, or date and sign the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. Each of the Board Nominees has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and to serve as a Board Member if elected.

Board Members’/Nominees’ Biographical Information. Please refer to the below table which identifies the Board Nominees and any Preferred Shares Nominees for election to the Board of each Fund and sets forth certain biographical information about the Board Members, including the Board Nominees, for all of the Funds. Please note that only the Class II Board Members are standing for election this year. Each Board Nominee was reviewed by the Governance and Nominating Committee (the “Governance Committee”) of the Board of each respective Fund and nominated by the full Board. Richard E. Cavanagh and Karen P. Robards were selected to serve as the Co-Chairs of each Board. All of the closed-end investment companies registered under the 1940 Act advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), including the Funds, are referred to collectively as the “BlackRock Closed-End Funds.” The BlackRock Closed-End Funds are part of a complex of investment companies advised by the Advisor or its affiliates that also includes open-end non-index fixed-income funds (the “BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex”).

Date shown is the earliest date a person has served for the Funds covered by this Proxy Statement. Following the combination of Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P. (“MLIM”) and BlackRock, Inc. in September 2006, the various legacy MLIM and legacy BlackRock fund boards were realigned and consolidated into three new fund boards in 2007. As a result, although the chart shows certain Independent Board Members as joining the Funds’ Boards in 2007, those Board Members first became members of the boards of other legacy MLIM or legacy BlackRock funds as follows: Richard E. Cavanagh, 1994; Frank J. Fabozzi, 1988; R. Glenn Hubbard, 2004; W. Carl Kester, 1995; and Karen P. Robards, 1998.

For purposes of this chart, “RICs” refers to investment companies registered under the 1940 Act and “Portfolios” refers to the investment programs of the BlackRock-advised funds. The BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex is comprised of 75 RICs consisting of 101 Portfolios. Messrs. Fairbairn and Perlowski are also board members of a complex of BlackRock registered open-end equity, multi-asset, index and money market funds (the “BlackRock Multi-Asset Complex”).

The Independent Board Members have adopted a statement of policy that describes the experiences, qualifications, skills and attributes that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Board Member candidates (the “Statement of Policy”). The Boards believe that each Independent Board Member satisfied, at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed as a Board Member, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy as well as the standards set forth in each Fund’s By-laws. Furthermore, in determining that a particular Board Member was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Board Member, the Boards have considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Boards believe that, collectively, the Board Members/Nominees have balanced and diverse experiences, skills, attributes and qualifications, which allow the Boards to operate effectively in governing the Funds and protecting the interests of shareholders. Among the attributes common to all Board Members/Nominees is their ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively with the Funds’ investment adviser, sub-advisers, other service providers, counsel and independent auditors, and to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties as Board Members. Each Board Member’s/Nominee’s ability to perform his or her duties effectively is evidenced by his or her educational background or professional training; business, consulting, public service or academic positions; experience from service as a board member of the Funds or the other funds in the BlackRock fund complexes (and any predecessor funds), other investment funds, public companies, or not-for-profit entities or other organizations; ongoing commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and other committees throughout the years; or other relevant life experiences.

Board Leadership Structure and Oversight

The Boards consist of ten Board Members, eight of whom are Independent Board Members. Effective June 10, 2021, the Board will consist of twelve Board Members, ten of whom will be Independent Board Members. The registered investment companies advised by the Advisor are composed of the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex, the BlackRock Multi-Asset Complex and one complex of exchange-traded funds. The Funds are included in the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex. The Board Members also oversee the operations of the other open-end and closed-end registered investment companies included in the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex as directors or trustees.

The Boards have overall responsibility for the oversight of the Funds. The Co-Chairs of the Boards and the Chief Executive Officer are different people. Not only is each Co-Chair an Independent Board Member, but also the Chair of each Board committee (each, a “Committee”) is an Independent Board Member. The Boards have five standing Committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight Committee and an Executive Committee. The Boards have also established an ad hoc Discount Sub-Committee.

The Boards currently oversee the Funds’ usage of leverage, including the Funds’ incurrence, refinancing and maintenance of leverage and, to the extent necessary or appropriate, authorize or approve the execution of documentation in respect thereto. The Executive Committee of each Fund has authority to make any such authorizations or approvals that are required between regular meetings of the Boards.

The Funds do not have a compensation committee because their executive officers, other than the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), do not receive any direct compensation from the Funds and the CCO’s compensation is comprehensively reviewed by the Boards. The role of each Co-Chair of the Boards is to preside over all meetings of the Boards and to act as a liaison with service providers, officers, attorneys, and other Board Members between meetings. The Chair of each Committee performs a similar role with respect to such Committee. The Co-Chairs of the Boards or Chair of a Committee may also perform such other functions as may be delegated by the Boards or the Committees from time to time. The Independent Board Members meet regularly outside the presence of the Funds’ management, in executive sessions or with other service providers to the Funds. The Boards have regular meetings five times a year, including a meeting to consider the approval of the Funds’ investment management agreements and, if necessary, may hold special meetings before their next regular meeting. Each Committee meets regularly to conduct the oversight functions delegated to that Committee by the Boards and reports its findings to the Boards. The Boards and each standing Committee conduct annual assessments of their oversight function and structure. The Boards have determined that the Boards’ leadership structure is appropriate because it allows the Boards to exercise independent judgment over management and to allocate areas of responsibility among Committees and the Boards to enhance oversight.

The Boards decided to separate the roles of Chief Executive Officer from the Co-Chairs because they believe that having independent Co-Chairs:

•

increases the independent oversight of the Funds and enhances the Boards’ objective evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer;

•

allows the Chief Executive Officer to focus on the Funds’ operations instead of Board administration;

•

provides greater opportunities for direct and independent communication between shareholders and the Boards; and

•

provides independent spokespersons for the Funds.

The Boards have engaged the Advisor to manage the Funds on a day-to-day basis. Each Board is responsible for overseeing the Advisor, other service providers, the operations of each Fund and associated risks in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, state law, other applicable laws, each Fund’s charter, and each Fund’s investment objective(s) and strategies. The Boards review, on an ongoing basis, the Funds’ performance, operations, and investment strategies and techniques. The Boards also conduct reviews of the Advisor and its role in running the operations of the Funds.

Day-to-day risk management with respect to the Funds is the responsibility of the Advisor or other service providers (depending on the nature of the risk), subject to the supervision of the Advisor. The Funds are subject to a number of risks, including investment, compliance, operational and valuation risks, among others. While there are a number of risk management functions performed by the Advisor or other service providers, as applicable, it is not possible to eliminate all of the risks applicable to the Funds. Risk oversight is part of the Boards’ general oversight of the Funds and is addressed as part of various Board and Committee activities. The Boards, directly or

through Committees, also review reports from, among others, management, the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds, the Advisor, and internal auditors for the Advisor or its affiliates, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Funds and management’s or the service providers’ risk functions. The Committee system facilitates the timely and efficient consideration of matters by the Board Members and facilitates effective oversight of compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and of the Funds’ activities and associated risks. The Boards have approved the appointment of a Chief Compliance Officer, who oversees the implementation and testing of the Funds’ compliance program and reports regularly to the Boards regarding compliance matters for the Funds and their service providers. The Independent Board Members have engaged independent legal counsel to assist them in performing their oversight responsibilities.

Compensation. Information relating to compensation paid to the Board Members for each Fund’s most recent fiscal year is set forth in Appendix B.

Equity Securities Owned by Board Members and Board Nominees. Information relating to the amount of equity securities owned by Board Members/Nominees in the Funds that they oversee as of April 30, 2021 is set forth in Appendix C.

Attendance of Board Members at Annual Shareholders’ Meetings. It is the policy of all the Funds to encourage Board Members to attend the annual shareholders’ meeting. All of the Board Members of each Fund in office at the time attended last year’s annual shareholders’ meeting.

Board Meetings. During the calendar year 2020, the Board of each Fund met ten times. Information relating to the number of times that the Boards met during each Fund’s most recent full fiscal year is set forth in Appendix D. No incumbent Board Member attended less than 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of each Board and of each Committee on which the Board Member served during each Fund’s most recently completed full fiscal year.

Committees of the Boards. Information relating to the various standing Committees of the Boards, as well as an ad hoc Sub-Committee, is set forth in Appendix E.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports. Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules thereunder requires the Funds’ Board Members, executive officers, persons who own, either directly or indirectly, more than ten percent of a registered class of a Fund’s equity securities, the Advisor and certain officers of the Advisor (the “Section 16 insiders”), including in some cases former Section 16 insiders for a period of up to 6 months, to file reports on holdings of, and transactions in, Fund shares with the SEC. Based solely on a review of copies of such reports furnished to the relevant Funds during the relevant Funds’ most recent fiscal year and representations from these Section 16 insiders, or former Section 16 insiders, as applicable, with respect to the relevant Funds’ most recent fiscal year, each Fund believes that its Section 16 insiders met all such applicable SEC filing requirements for the Fund’s most recently concluded fiscal year, except for certain inadvertent late filings. For each of the Funds, there was one inadvertent late filing by Trent Walker, the Chief Financial Officer of each Fund, during each Fund’s most recently concluded fiscal year relating to Trent Walker’s initial filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. For BCAT, there was one inadvertent late filing by each of Michael J. Castellano, R. Glenn Hubbard and Catherine A. Lynch, each a Board Member of the Fund, during the Fund’s most recently concluded fiscal year relating to the initial filing for each such Board Member under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Executive Officers of the Funds. Information about the executive officers of each Fund, including their year of birth and their principal occupations during the past five years, is set forth in Appendix F.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of each Board Nominee to the Board of your Fund(s).

VOTE REQUIRED AND MANNER OF VOTING PROXIES

A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at the meeting. For BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust, Inc. (BKN), BlackRock Income Trust, Inc. (BKT), BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. (CII), BlackRock Debt Strategies Fund, Inc. (DSU), BlackRock Enhanced Government Fund, Inc. (EGF), BlackRock Floating Rate Income Strategies Fund, Inc. (FRA), BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund, Inc. (HYT) and BlackRock MuniAssets Fund, Inc. (MUA), the holders of one-third of the shares entitled to vote on any matter at a shareholder meeting, either present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for purposes of conducting business on such matter. For the remainder of the Funds, the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter at a shareholder meeting present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum for purposes of conducting business on such matter. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast with respect to a Board Nominee at a meeting at which a quorum is present is necessary to elect each of the respective Board Nominees under Proposal 1 for each respective Fund. Because each Fund requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of votes to elect each of the Board Nominees, withheld votes and broker non-votes, if any, will not have an effect on the outcome of Proposal 1. A “plurality” vote means that the Board Nominees who receive the largest number of votes cast (even if they receive less than a majority) will be elected as Board Members. Since the Board Nominees are running unopposed, each Board Nominee only needs one vote to be elected if there is a quorum present at the meeting.

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 will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the meeting. The inspectors of election will treat withheld votes and “broker non-votes,” if any, as present for purposes of determining a quorum. Broker non-votes occur when shares are held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name,” for which proxies have been returned but (a) voting instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote, (b) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power or elects not to exercise discretion on a particular matter and (c) the shares are present at the meeting. Preferred Shares of any Fund held in “street name” may be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum of shareholders of that Fund if no instructions are received one business day before the applicable meeting or, if adjourned, postponed, or delayed, one business day before the day to which the meeting is adjourned, postponed, or delayed.

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

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 before the meeting. The Funds understand that, under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, such broker-dealer firms may for certain “routine” matters, without instructions from their customers and clients, grant discretionary authority to the proxies designated by the Board to vote if no instructions have been received prior to the date specified in

the broker-dealer firm’s request for voting instructions. Proposal 1 is a “routine” matter and 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 Proposal 1. 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 may be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of Proposal 1.

If you hold shares of a Fund through a bank, broker, other financial institution or intermediary (called a service agent), the service agent may be the record holder of your shares. At the meeting, 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 cases, the service agent may, but is not 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.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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.

A representative of D&T is expected to be present at the meeting. The representative of D&T will have the opportunity to make a statement at the meeting if he or she desires to do so and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Each Fund’s Audit Committee has discussed with D&T the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC.

Each Fund’s Audit Committee has received from D&T the written disclosures and the letter required by PCAOB Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence, has discussed D&T’s independence with D&T, and has considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm.

Each Fund’s Audit Committee also reviews and discusses 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 during its most

recently completed fiscal year. Following each Fund’s Audit Committee’s review and discussion with the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, pursuant to authority delegated by its respective Board, each Fund’s Audit Committee approved the respective 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 G) for inclusion in the Fund’s annual report to shareholders.

Appendix G sets forth for each Fund the fees billed by that Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the two most recent fiscal years for all audit, non-audit, tax and all other services provided directly to the Fund. The fee information in Appendix G 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 associated with 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 and internal control reviews not required by regulators.

(c) Tax Fees—fees associated with tax compliance and/or tax preparation, as applicable. Tax compliance and preparation include services such as the filing or amendment of federal, state or local income tax returns, and services relating to regulated investment company qualification reviews, taxable income and tax distribution calculations. All of the fees included under “Tax Fees” in Appendix G relate solely to services provided for tax compliance and/or tax preparation, and none of such fees relate to tax advice, tax planning or tax consulting.

(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.”

(e) Aggregate Non-Audit Fees for Services Provided to Each Fund and its Affiliated Service Providers Pre-Approved by the Audit Committee—the sum of the fees shown under “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees,” and “All Other Fees” and fees paid by each Fund’s Affiliated Service Providers to the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Each Fund’s Audit Committee is required to approve all audit engagement fees and terms for the Fund. Each Fund’s Audit Committee also is required to consider and approve (i) the provision by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm of any non-audit services to the Fund, and (ii) the provision by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm of non-audit services to BlackRock and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with BlackRock that provides ongoing services to the Fund (“Affiliated Service Providers”) to the extent that such approval (in the case of this clause (ii)) is required under applicable regulations of the SEC. See Appendix G to this 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 complies with applicable laws and regulations 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, each Fund’s Audit Committee must also approve other non-audit services provided by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund and to the Fund’s Affiliated Service

Providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Each Fund’s Audit Committee has implemented policies and procedures by which such services may be approved other than by the full Audit Committee. Subject to such policies and procedures, including applicable dollar limitations, each Fund’s Audit Committee may pre-approve, without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”), certain permissible non-audit services that the Audit Committee believes are (a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and (b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. Each service approved subject to general pre-approval is presented to each Fund’s Audit Committee for ratification at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting.

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

Fees for non-audit services provided to each Fund’s Affiliated Service Providers for which pre-approval by such Fund’s Audit Committee was required for the calendar years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $1,984,000 and $2,050,500, respectively. These fees were paid in their entirety by BlackRock in connection with services provided to the Affiliated Service Providers of each Fund and of other BlackRock open-end and closed-end funds primarily for a service organization controls review and secondarily, a subscription to the Deloitte Accounting Research Tool.

Each Fund’s Audit Committee has considered the provision of non-audit services that were rendered by D&T to the Fund’s Affiliated Service Providers that were not pre-approved (and did not require pre-approval) in connection with determining such auditor’s independence. All services provided by D&T to each Fund and each Fund’s Affiliated Service Providers that required pre-approval were pre-approved during the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year.

The Audit Committee of each Fund consists of the following Board Members:

Michael J. Castellano (Chair);

Frank J. Fabozzi;

Catherine A. Lynch; and

Karen P. Robards.

Submission of Shareholder Proposals

A shareholder proposal intended to be presented at a future meeting of shareholders of a Fund must be received at the offices of the Fund, 40 East 52^nd Street, New York, NY 10022, in accordance with the timing requirements set forth below. Timely submission of a proposal does not guarantee that such proposal will be included in a proxy statement.

If a Fund shareholder intends to present a proposal at the 2022 annual meeting of the Fund’s shareholders and desires to have the proposal included in such Fund’s proxy statement and form of proxy for that meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, the shareholder must deliver the proposal to the offices of the Fund by Tuesday, February 8, 2022. In the event a Fund moves the date of its 2022 annual shareholder meeting by more than 30 days from the anniversary of its 2021 annual shareholder meeting, shareholder submissions of proposals for inclusion in such Fund’s proxy statement and proxy card for the 2022 annual shareholder meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be delivered to the Fund at a reasonable time before the Fund begins to print and send its proxy materials in connection with the 2022 annual shareholder meeting.

Shareholders who do not wish to submit a proposal for inclusion in a Fund’s proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2022 annual shareholder meeting in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act may submit a proposal for consideration at the 2022 annual shareholder meeting in accordance with the By-laws of the Fund. The By-laws for each Fund require that advance notice be given to the Fund in the event a shareholder desires to transact any business, including business from the floor, at an annual meeting of shareholders, including the nomination of Board

Members. Notice of any such business or nomination for consideration at the 2022 annual shareholder meeting must be in writing, comply with the requirements of the Fund’s By-laws and, assuming that the 2022 annual shareholder meeting is held within 25 days of July 29, 2022, must be received by the Fund between Tuesday, March 1, 2022 and Thursday, March 31, 2022.

In order for a shareholder proposal made outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act to be considered “timely” within the meaning of Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act, such proposal must be received at the Fund’s principal executive offices by Thursday, March 31, 2022. In the event a Fund moves the date of its 2022 annual shareholder meeting by more than 25 days from the anniversary of its 2021 annual shareholder meeting, shareholders who wish to submit a proposal or nomination for consideration at the 2022 annual shareholder meeting in accordance with the advance notice provisions of the By-laws of a Fund must deliver such proposal or nomination not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which the notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the meeting date was made, whichever comes first. If such proposals are not “timely” within the meaning of Rule 14a-4(c), then proxies solicited by the Board for the 2022 annual shareholder meeting may confer discretionary authority to the Board to vote on such proposals.

Copies of the By-laws of each Fund are available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Each Fund will also furnish, without charge, a copy of its By-laws to a shareholder upon request. Such requests should be directed to the appropriate Fund at 100 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington, DE 19809, or by calling toll free at 1-800-882-0052. For further information, please see Appendix E — Committees of the Boards — Governance Committee.

Shareholder Communications

Shareholders who want to communicate with the Boards or any individual Board Member should write to the attention of the Secretary of their Fund, 40 East 52^nd Street, New York, NY 10022. Shareholders may communicate with the Boards electronically by sending an e-mail 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 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 CCO, 40 East 52^nd Street, New York, NY 10022. 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.

Expense of Proxy Solicitation

The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy, accompanying notice and this Proxy Statement, and costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies and hosting the virtual meeting will be borne by the Funds. Additional out-of-pocket costs, such as legal expenses and auditor fees, incurred in connection with the preparation of this Proxy Statement, also will be borne by the Funds. 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 Fund(s).

Solicitation may be made by mail, telephone, fax, e-mail or the Internet by officers or employees of the Advisor, 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 will reimburse brokerage firms, custodians, banks and fiduciaries for their expenses in forwarding this Proxy Statement and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of each Fund’s shares. The Funds and BlackRock have retained Georgeson, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, 9^th Floor, New York, NY 10104, a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the distribution of proxy materials, the solicitation and tabulation of proxies and the hosting of the virtual meeting. It is anticipated that Georgeson will be paid approximately $78,000 for such services (including reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses). Georgeson may solicit proxies personally and by mail, telephone, fax, e-mail or the Internet. 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.

Privacy Principles of the Funds

The Funds are committed to maintaining the privacy of their current and former shareholders and to safeguarding their non-public personal information. The following information is provided to help you understand what personal information the Funds collect, how the Funds protect that information and why, in certain cases, the Funds may share such information with select parties.

If you are located in a jurisdiction where specific laws, rules or regulations require a Fund to provide you with additional or different privacy-related rights beyond what is set forth above, then the Fund will comply with those specific laws, rules or regulations.

The Funds obtain or verify personal non-public information from and about you from different sources, including the following: (i) information the Funds receive from you or, if applicable, your financial intermediary, on applications, forms or other documents; (ii) information about your transactions with the Funds, their affiliates or others; (iii) information the Funds receive from a consumer reporting agency; and (iv) information the Funds receive from visits to the Funds’ or their affiliates’ websites.

The Funds do not sell or disclose to non-affiliated third parties any non-public personal information about their current and former shareholders, except as permitted by law or as is necessary to respond to regulatory requests or to service shareholder accounts. These non-affiliated third parties are required to protect the confidentiality and security of this information and to use it only for its intended purpose.

The Funds may share information with their affiliates to service your account or to provide you with information about other BlackRock products or services that may be of interest to you. In addition, the Funds restrict access to non-public personal information about their current and former shareholders to those BlackRock employees with a legitimate business need for the information. The Funds maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that are designed to protect the non-public personal information of their current and former shareholders, including procedures relating to the proper storage and disposal of such information.

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 2021 annual shareholder meeting. However, if other matters are properly presented to the meeting for a vote, the proxies will be voted by the persons named in the enclosed proxy upon such matters in accordance with their judgment of what is in the best interests of the Funds.

A list of each Fund’s shareholders of record as of the Record Date will be available for inspection at the shareholder meeting. For each Delaware Trust, a list of shareholders of record as of the Record Date will be available at the offices of the Funds, 100 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington, DE 19809, for inspection by such Fund’s shareholders during regular business hours beginning ten days prior to the date of the meeting.

Failure of a quorum to be present at any meeting may necessitate adjournment. The Board of each Fund, prior to any shareholder meeting being convened, may postpone such meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date. The chair of any shareholder meeting may also adjourn such meeting from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice of any such adjourned meeting need not be given if the time and place by which shareholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. The chair of any shareholder meeting may adjourn such meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to a proposal if they determine that adjournment and further solicitation is reasonable and in the best interests of shareholders. At the adjourned shareholder meeting, the Fund may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. Any adjourned shareholder meeting may be held as adjourned one or more times without further notice not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the original record date.

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

By Order of the Boards,

Janey Ahn

Appendix B – Compensation of the Board Members

Effective January 1, 2021, each Independent Board Member is paid an annual retainer of $370,000 per year for his or her services as a Board Member of the BlackRock-advised funds, including the Funds, and each Independent Board Member may also receive a $10,000 board meeting fee for special unscheduled meetings or meetings in excess of six Board meetings held in a calendar year, together with out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with a Board policy on travel and other business expenses relating to attendance at meetings. In addition, each Co-Chair of the Boards is paid an additional annual retainer of $100,000. The Chairs of the Audit Committee, Performance Oversight Committee, Compliance Committee, and Governance Committee are paid an additional annual retainer of $45,000, $37,500, $45,000 and $37,500, respectively. Each of the members of the Audit Committee and Compliance Committee is paid an additional annual retainer of $30,000 and $25,000, respectively, for his or her service on such committee. The Funds will pay a pro rata portion quarterly (based on relative net assets) of the foregoing Board Member fees paid by the funds in the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex.

The Independent Board Members have agreed that a maximum of 50% of each Independent Board Member’s total compensation paid by funds in the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex may be deferred pursuant to the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex’s 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 shares of certain funds in the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex 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 funds in the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex. The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of a fund and are recorded as a liability for accounting purposes.

Prior to January 1, 2021, each Board Member who was an Independent Board Member was paid an annual retainer of $330,000 per year for his or her services as a Board member of the BlackRock-advised Funds, including the Funds. The Chairs of the Performance Oversight Committee and Governance and Nominating Committee were paid an additional annual retainer of $30,000 and $20,000, respectively.

The following table sets forth the aggregate compensation, including deferred compensation amounts, paid to each Independent Board Member by each Fund during its most recently completed fiscal year and by all BlackRock-advised funds for the most recently completed calendar year. Messrs. Perlowski and Fairbairn serve without compensation from the Funds because of their affiliation with BlackRock, Inc. and the Advisor.

Robards, all of whom are Independent Board Members and all of whom have been determined by the Audit Committee and the Board to be Audit Committee Financial Experts. It is anticipated that J. Phillip Holloman will become a member of the Audit Committee following the effectiveness of his appointment as a Board Member. The principal responsibilities of the Audit Committee are to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to the accounting and financial reporting policies and practices of the Fund. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities include, without limitation: (i) approving and recommending to the full Board for approval the selection, retention, termination and compensation of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm”) and evaluating the independence and objectivity of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm; (ii) approving all audit engagement terms and fees for the Fund; (iii) reviewing the conduct and results of each audit; (iv) reviewing any issues raised by the Fund’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm or management regarding the accounting or financial reporting policies and practices of the Fund, its internal controls, and, as appropriate, the internal controls of certain service providers and management’s response to any such issues; (v) reviewing and discussing the Fund’s audited and unaudited financial statements and disclosure in the Fund’s shareholder reports relating to the Fund’s performance; (vi) assisting the Board’s responsibilities with respect to the internal controls of the Fund and its service providers with respect to accounting and financial matters; and (vii) resolving any disagreements between the Fund’s management and the Fund’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm regarding financial reporting.

A copy of the Audit Committee Charter for each Fund can be found in the “Corporate Governance” section of the BlackRock Closed-End Fund website at www.blackrock.com.

Governance Committee. Each Board has a standing Governance Committee composed of R. Glenn Hubbard (Chair), Michael J. Castellano, Richard E. Cavanagh, Cynthia L. Egan and Karen P. Robards, all of whom are Independent Board Members.

The principal responsibilities of the Governance Committee are: (i) identifying individuals qualified to serve as Independent Board Members and recommending Board Nominees that are not “interested persons” of the Funds (as defined in the 1940 Act) for election by shareholders or appointment by the Board; (ii) advising the Board with respect to Board composition, procedures and Committees of the Board (other than the Audit Committee); (iii) overseeing periodic self-assessments of the Board and Committees of the Board (other than the Audit Committee); (iv) reviewing and making recommendations with respect to Independent Board Member compensation; (v) monitoring corporate governance matters and making recommendations in respect thereof to the Board; (vi) acting as the administrative committee with respect to Board policies and procedures, committee policies and procedures (other than the Audit Committee) and codes of ethics as they relate to the Independent Board Members; and (vii) reviewing and making recommendations to the Board in respect of Fund share ownership by the Independent Board Members.

E-1

The Governance Committee of each Board seeks to identify individuals to serve on the Board who have a diverse range of viewpoints, qualifications, experiences, backgrounds and skill sets so that the Board will be better suited to fulfill its responsibility of overseeing the Fund’s activities. In so doing, the Governance Committee reviews the size of the Board, the ages of the current Board Members and their tenure on the Board, and the skills, background and experiences of the Board Members in light of the issues facing the Fund in determining whether one or more new Board Members should be added to the Board. The Board as a group strives to achieve diversity in terms of gender, race and geographic location. The Governance Committee believes that the Board Members as a group possess the array of skills, experiences and backgrounds necessary to guide the Fund. The Board Members’ biographies included in the Proxy Statement highlight the diversity and breadth of skills, qualifications and expertise that the Board Members bring to the Fund.

Each Governance Committee may consider nominations for Board Members made by the Fund’s shareholders as it deems appropriate. Under each Fund’s By-laws, shareholders must follow certain procedures to nominate a person for election as a Board Member at an annual or special meeting, or to introduce an item of business at an annual meeting. Under these advance notice procedures, shareholders must submit the proposed nominee or item of business by delivering a notice to the Secretary of the Fund at its principal executive offices. Each Fund must receive notice of a shareholder’s intention to introduce a nomination or proposed item of business for an annual shareholder meeting not less than 120 days nor more than 150 days before the anniversary of the prior year’s annual shareholder meeting. Assuming that the 2022 annual shareholder meeting of a Fund is held within 25 days of July 29, 2022, the Fund must receive notice pertaining to the 2022 annual meeting of shareholders no earlier than Tuesday, March 1, 2022 and no later than Thursday, March 31, 2022. However, if a Fund holds its 2022 annual shareholder meeting on a date that is not within 25 days before or after July 29, 2022, such Fund must receive the notice of a shareholder’s intention to introduce a nomination or proposed item of business not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which the notice of the date of the shareholder meeting was mailed or the public disclosure of the date of the shareholder meeting was made, whichever comes first.

Each Fund’s By-laws provide that notice of a proposed nomination must include certain information about the shareholder and the nominee, as well as a written consent of the proposed nominee to serve if elected. A notice of a proposed item of business must include a description of and the reasons for bringing the proposed business to the meeting, any material interest of the shareholder in the business, and certain other information about the shareholder.

Further, each Fund has adopted Board Member qualification requirements which can be found in each Fund’s By-laws and are applicable to all Board Members that may be nominated, elected, appointed, qualified or seated to serve as Board Members. The qualification requirements may include: (i) age limits; (ii) limits on service on other boards; (iii) restrictions on relationships with investment advisers other than BlackRock; and (iv) character and fitness requirements. In addition to not being an “interested person” of the Fund as defined under Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, each Independent Board Member may not be or have certain relationships with a shareholder owning five percent or more of the Fund’s voting securities or owning other percentage ownership interests in investment companies registered under the 1940 Act. Reference is made to each Fund’s By-laws for more details.

A copy of the Governance Committee Charter for each Fund can be found in the “Corporate Governance” section of the BlackRock Closed-End Fund website at www.blackrock.com.

The Compliance Committee’s purpose is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility with respect to the oversight of regulatory and fiduciary compliance matters involving the Fund, the fund-related activities of BlackRock, and any sub-advisers and the Fund’s other third party service providers. The Compliance Committee’s responsibilities include, without limitation: (i) overseeing the compliance policies and procedures of the Fund and its service providers and recommending changes or additions to such policies and procedures; (ii) reviewing information on and, where appropriate, recommending policies concerning the Fund’s compliance with applicable law; (iii) reviewing information on any significant correspondence with or other actions by regulators or governmental agencies with respect to the Fund and any employee complaints or published reports that raise concerns regarding compliance matters; and (iv) reviewing reports from, overseeing the annual performance review of, and making certain recommendations in respect of the CCO, including, without limitation, determining the amount and structure of the CCO’s compensation. Each Board has adopted a written charter for the Board’s Compliance Committee.

Performance Oversight Committee. Each Fund has a Performance Oversight Committee composed of Frank J. Fabozzi (Chair), Michael J. Castellano, Richard E. Cavanagh, Cynthia L. Egan, R. Glenn Hubbard, W. Carl Kester, Catherine A. Lynch and Karen P. Robards, all of whom are Independent Board Members. The Performance Oversight Committee’s purpose is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee the Fund’s investment performance relative to the Fund’s investment objective(s), policies and practices. The Performance Oversight Committee’s responsibilities include, without limitation: (i) reviewing the Fund’s investment objective(s), policies and practices; (ii) recommending to the Board any required action in respect of changes in fundamental and non-fundamental investment restrictions; (iii) reviewing information on appropriate benchmarks and competitive universes; (iv) reviewing the Fund’s investment performance relative to such benchmarks; (v) reviewing information on unusual or exceptional investment matters; (vi) reviewing whether the Fund has complied with its investment policies and restrictions; and (vii) overseeing policies, procedures and controls regarding valuation of the Fund’s investments. Each Board has adopted a written charter for the Board’s Performance Oversight Committee.

Executive Committee. Each Fund has an Executive Committee composed of Richard E. Cavanagh (Chair) and Karen P. Robards, both of whom are Independent Board Members, and John M. Perlowski, who serves as an interested Board Member. The principal responsibilities of the Executive Committee include, without limitation: (i) acting on routine matters between meetings of the Board; (ii) acting on such matters as may require urgent action between meetings of the Board; and (iii) exercising such other authority as may from time to time be delegated to the Executive Committee by the Board. Each Board has adopted a written charter for the Board’s Executive Committee.

The Boards currently oversee the Funds’ usage of leverage, including the Funds’ incurrence, refinancing and maintenance of leverage and, to the extent necessary or appropriate, authorize or approve the execution of documentation in respect thereto. The Executive Committee has authority to make any such authorizations or approvals that are required between regular meetings of the Boards.

Ad Hoc Committee. In addition to the standing committees, the Board of each Fund has established the following ad hoc committee:

Discount Sub-Committee. Each Board has an ad hoc Discount Sub-Committee composed of Catherine A. Lynch (Chair), Cynthia L. Egan, Frank J. Fabozzi and W. Carl Kester, all of whom are
