The Funds and the series of the Funds are set forth onAppendix A to the enclosed joint proxy statement. You have received this letter and joint proxy statement because you were a shareholder of record of at least one Equity-Liquidity Fund on September 24, 2018 (the “Record Date”). The purpose of the Meeting, as described in the enclosed joint proxy statement, is to seek shareholder approval in connection with a realignment of the boards of directors/trustees overseeing the mutual funds andclosed-end funds advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC or BlackRock Fund Advisors and/or their affiliates (collectively, “BlackRock” and such funds, the “BlackRock-advised Funds”). The current boards of directors/trustees of the BlackRock-advised Funds (the “Existing Boards,” the members of which are referred to as “Existing Board Members”) are proposing this realignment following a comprehensive review in consultation with BlackRock.
Currently, the BlackRock-advised Funds are divided into three different complexes – the Equity-Liquidity Complex, the Equity-Bond Complex and theClosed-End Complex (each, a “Fund Complex” and collectively, the “BlackRock Fund complex”) – and the same individuals comprise the boards of directors/trustees of the BlackRock-advised Funds within a Fund Complex. It is proposed that the three current boards of directors/trustees and the Fund Complexes they oversee be realigned and consolidated into two boards of directors/trustees and two Fund Complexes. Subject to shareholder approval, one board of directors/trustees (referred to in this proxy statement as “Board I”) would focus on the oversight of the BlackRock-advisednon-index fixed-income mutual funds and all of the BlackRock-advisedclosed-end funds within the BlackRock Fund complex, including fixed-income mutual funds that are designed for sale through insurance company separate accounts (collectively, the “Insurance Funds”). Subject to shareholder approval, the second board of directors/trustees (referred to in this proxy statement as “Board II”) would
Table of Contents
focus on the oversight of the BlackRock-advised equity, multi-asset, index and money market funds within the BlackRock Fund complex, including equity, multi-asset, index and money market Insurance Funds. Shareholders of the funds in the Equity-Bond Complex, including the Insurance Funds in the Equity-Bond Complex (collectively, the “Equity-Bond Funds”) are being asked to approve the Board Nominees to Board I and Board II, as applicable, in separate proxy statements. Board I and Board II are referred to together as the “New Boards.”
Following the proposed realignment, certain Equity-Liquidity Funds (referred to in the enclosed joint proxy statement as “Group B Funds”) would be overseen by Board I, and certain Equity-Liquidity Funds (referred to in the enclosed joint proxy statement as “Group A Funds”) would be overseen by Board II. As explained in the enclosed joint proxy statement, shareholders of Group A Funds are being asked to elect fifteen nominees to Board II and shareholders of Group B Funds are being asked to elect eleven nominees to Board I. Such nominees (collectively, the “Board Nominees”) have been reviewed and unanimously approved by your Fund’s Existing Board, subject to approval by the Fund’s shareholders. The Existing Boards have reviewed the qualifications and backgrounds of the applicable Board Nominees and believe that their election is in your best interest.
If you are a shareholder of a Fund or a series of a Fund that is organized as a “feeder” in a “master/feeder” structure where the master fund is a part of the Equity-Liquidity Complex, you will also be asked to provide voting instructions to your feeder Fund as to how, as a beneficial owner of the master fund, your feeder Fund should vote in connection with the election of the Board Nominees for the Board of your feeder Fund’s respective master Fund.
Please note that separate joint proxy statements are being sent to shareholders of the BlackRock-advised Funds in the Equity-Bond Complex, who are also being asked to vote on the election of the applicable Board Nominees to the boards of directors/trustees of their BlackRock-advised Fund in the Equity-Bond Complex. If you were also a shareholder of record on the Record Date of one or more BlackRock-advised Funds in the Equity-Bond Complex, you will receive a separate joint proxy statement(s), proxy card(s) or voting instruction form(s) for such fund(s). Please be certain to vote by telephone or via the Internet with respect to each BlackRock-advised Fund in which you are a shareholder of record or sign, date and return each proxy card and/or voting instruction form you receive. If elected by shareholders of the Funds at the Meeting, the Board Nominees would take office effective onJanuary 1, 2019 or such later date as will be communicated to shareholders if the Meeting is adjourned, postponed or delayed.
The Existing Board responsible for your Fund recommends that you vote, or submit voting instructions, “FOR” the election of each of the applicable Board Nominees. In connection with your vote, we urge you to read the full text of the enclosed joint proxy statement.
Your vote is important. Attendance at the Meeting will be limited to each Fund’s shareholders as of the Record Date. If you are a registered shareholder, to gain admission, you must present valid photographic identification, such as a driver’s license or passport. 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), you will also be required to show satisfactory proof of ownership of shares in a Fund, such as your voting instruction form (or a copy thereof) or a letter from your bank, broker, financial intermediary or other nominee or broker’s statement indicating share ownership as of the Record Date.
If you are a registered shareholder, you may vote your shares in person by ballot at the Meeting. If you hold your shares of a Fund through a bank, broker, financial intermediary or other nominee, you will not be able to vote in person at the Meeting unless you have previously requested and obtained a “legal proxy” from your bank, broker, financial intermediary or other nominee and present it at the Meeting.

We encourage you to carefully review the enclosed materials, which explain the proposals in more detail.

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 registrants listed onAppendix A to the enclosed joint proxy statement (each, a “Fund” or an “Equity-Liquidity Fund,” which may also be collectively referred to herein as the “Equity-Liquidity Complex”) are holding joint special meetings of shareholders (the “Meeting”) for the election of nominees (collectively, the “Board Nominees”) to the Board of Directors or Trustees of the applicable Fund (each, a “Board,” the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) in connection with the proposed realignment of the current boards of directors/trustees (the “Existing Boards,” the members of which are referred to as “Existing Board Members”) of the mutual funds andclosed-end funds advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC, BlackRock Fund Advisors and/or their affiliates (collectively, “BlackRock” and such funds, the “BlackRock-advised Funds”). Each Fund is categorized in the enclosed joint proxy statement as a “Group A Fund” or a “Group B Fund” for purposes of electing the applicable Board Nominees in Proposal 1(a) or Proposal 1(b). The enclosed joint proxy statement describes proposals to elect the Board Nominees of the Equity-Liquidity Funds and provides other information relating to the Meeting. The tables starting on page 13 of the joint proxy statement identify the Existing Board Members and the Board Nominees for each Fund. |
Q: | Why are the Funds holding a meeting to elect Board Members at this time? |
A: | Explanation of Board Realignment and Consolidation |
Currently, the BlackRock-advised Funds are divided into three different complexes – the Equity-Liquidity Complex, the Equity-Bond Complex and theClosed-End Complex (each, a “Fund Complex” and collectively, the “BlackRock Fund complex”) – and the same individuals comprise the boards of directors/trustees of the BlackRock-advised Funds within a Fund Complex. It is proposed that the three current boards of directors/trustees and the Fund Complexes they oversee be realigned and consolidated into two boards of directors/trustees and two Fund Complexes. Subject to shareholder approval, one board of directors/trustees (referred to in this proxy statement as “Board I”) would focus on the oversight of the BlackRock-advisednon-index fixed-income mutual funds and all of the BlackRock-advisedclosed-end funds within the BlackRock Fund complex, including fixed-income mutual funds that are designed for sale through insurance company separate accounts (collectively, the “Insurance Funds”). Subject to shareholder approval, the second board of directors/trustees (referred to in this proxy statement as “Board II”) would focus on the oversight of the BlackRock-advised equity, multi-asset, index and money market funds within the BlackRock Fund complex, including equity, multi-asset, index and money market Insurance Funds. Shareholders of the funds in the Equity-Bond Complex, including the Insurance Funds in the Equity-Bond Complex (collectively, the “Equity-Bond Funds”) are being asked to approve the Board Nominees to Board I and Board II, as applicable, in separate proxy statements. |
Board I is expected to be comprised of all of the current directors/trustees who currently serve on the boards of directors/trustees of the BlackRock-advised Funds in theClosed-End Complex, plus an additional director/trustee who currently serves on the boards of directors/ |
(i)
Table of Contents
trustees of the Equity-Bond Funds (collectively, the “Equity-Bond Board”). Board II is expected to be comprised of directors/trustees who currently serve on the boards of directors/trustees of the Equity-Liquidity Funds (collectively, the “Equity-Liquidity Board”) and directors/trustees who currently serve on the Equity-Bond Board, other than (i) the members of the Equity-Liquidity Board and the Equity-Bond Board who are scheduled to retire at the end of 2018, (ii) the current member of the Equity-Bond Board who has been nominated to serve on Board I and (iii) two current members of the Equity-Liquidity Board who are expected to serve as consultants to the board members of each Group A Fund who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act) following the realignment and consolidation. As discussed below, this realignment and consolidation is expected to enable each of Board I and Board II to focus attention on issues of particular relevance to the types of funds that they oversee and to streamline and enhance the effectiveness of board oversight of the applicable Fund Complex. |
If elected by shareholders of the Funds at the Meeting, the Board Nominees would take office effective onJanuary 1, 2019 or such later date as will be communicated to shareholders if the Meeting is adjourned, postponed or delayed. |
Reasons for Board Realignment and Consolidation
At meetings held in July 2018, the Equity-Liquidity Board and the Equity-Bond Board each determined that the board realignment and consolidation could provide benefits to shareholders of the Equity-Liquidity Funds and the Equity-Bond Funds, respectively. Each Board has reviewed the qualifications and backgrounds of the Board Nominees and believes that they are experienced in overseeing investment companies and are familiar with the BlackRock Fund complex and BlackRock. In addition, Board Members have had the opportunity to meet with their counterparts on other boards of directors/trustees in the BlackRock Fund complex. In particular, the Board Members considered: |
1) | that each Fund would benefit from the realignment to Board I or Board II, as applicable, each of which would oversee the business and operations of a number of Funds that have similar investment strategies, which may provide the members of Board I or Board II, as applicable, with the potential to obtain enhanced insights into the Funds’ investment strategies, operations and their associated risks; |
2) | that while each member of Board II would oversee more of theopen-end BlackRock-advised Funds than before, the number of investment strategies used by the Group A Funds will not be significantly different and the division of investment strategies between Board I and Board II upon consolidation is appropriate; |
3) | the potential strength of the bargaining position of each of Board I and Board II upon realignment and consolidation with respect to interfacing with management and other service providers of the BlackRock-advised Funds they oversee; |
4) | that the Board I Nominees and the Board II Nominees have significant professional experience and skills, as well as experience overseeing funds that use similar kinds of investment strategies as used by the Group B Funds and Group A Funds, respectively; |
5) | that the Board Nominees have experience overseeing the nature and quality of investment advisory and other services that BlackRock provides to investment companies; |
6) | that the time spent by portfolio managers and other members of management keeping multiple boards of directors/trustees up to date would be reduced by board consolidation and realignment, resulting in greater efficiencies and potentially enhancing communication; and |
(ii)
Table of Contents
7) | the costs that are associated with the board realignment and consolidation, including the costs related to the proxy and the election of the Board Nominees and costs associated with reorganizations of a number of existing BlackRock-advised Funds into certain newly organized Group B Funds as an initial step toward board realignment and consolidation, and the arrangement between BlackRock and certain Funds to share the costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation, and the potential for future cost savings for Fund shareholders due to the board realignment and consolidation generally. |
Q: | What is a Feeder Fund and what proposals as a shareholder of a Feeder Fund am I being |
asked to vote on? |
A: | Certain Funds and series of Funds (each, a “Feeder Fund” and collectively, the “Feeder Funds”) invest substantially all of their assets in a corresponding Fund or series of a Fund that has an investment objective that is identical to that of the Feeder Fund (each, a “Master Fund” and collectively, the “Master Funds”). A Master Fund, in turn, invests directly in securities and other investments. Each Feeder Fund that invests in a Master Fund is being asked to vote for the Board Nominees of the Master Fund in which the Feeder Fund invests. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, each Feeder Fund’s voting rights with respect to the Master Fund interests that the Feeder Fund holds generally must be passed through to the Feeder Fund’s shareholders. This means that each Feeder Fund must vote its Master Fund interests in accordance with the voting instructions received from the Feeder Fund’s shareholders and will vote interests in the Master Fund with respect to which it has not received voting instructions in the same proportion as the interests for which it has received instructions from other holders (this is called “proportional voting” or “echo voting”). If you are a shareholder of a Feeder Fund that invests in a Master Fund that is an Equity-Liquidity Fund, in addition to seeking your votes on Proposals 1(a) or 1(b), as applicable, relating to the Feeder Fund in which you own shares, you will also be asked to provide your voting instructions to your Feeder Fund as to how, as a beneficial owner of a Master Fund, your Feeder Fund should vote for the election of the Board Nominees of the corresponding Master Fund (or, if the Master Fund is a series of a Fund, for the Fund for which such Master Fund is a series). You will be asked for these voting instructions in Proposals 2(a) or 2(b), as applicable. |
Q: | How do the Boards of the Funds recommend that I vote? |
A: | “FOR” each Board Nominee—the Existing Boards have reviewed the qualifications and backgrounds of the Board Nominees and believe that their election is in your best interest and unanimously recommend that you vote, or submit voting instructions, “FOR” each Board Nominee. |
Q: | Will my vote make a difference? |
A: | 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. |
Q: | How do I vote my shares? |
A: | Voting is quick and easy. Everything you need is enclosed. You can quickly and easily provide voting instructions by telephone by calling the toll-free number on the proxy card(s) or voting instruction form(s), or by Internet by going to the Internet address provided on the proxy |
(iii)
Table of Contents
card(s) or voting instruction form(s) or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials for the Joint Special Meetings of Shareholders to be held on November 21, 2018 (the “Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials”) and following the instructions. Alternatively, if you received your proxy card(s) or voting instruction form(s) by mail, you can vote your shares by completing, signing and dating the proxy card(s) or voting instruction form(s) and mailing it (them) in the enclosed postage-paid return envelope. |
You may also vote by ballot in person at the Meeting; however, even if you plan to attend the 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: |
• | If you are a record holder of your Fund’s shares, in order to gain admission to the Meeting you must show valid photographic identification, such as your driver’s license or passport. If you hold your shares through a bank, broker, financial intermediary or other nominee, you will also be required to show satisfactory proof of ownership of shares of your Fund(s), such as your voting instruction form(s) (or a copy thereof) of a letter from your bank, broker, financial intermediary or other nominee or a broker’s statement indicating share ownership as of the Record Date. |
• | If you are a registered shareholder, you may vote your shares in person by ballot at the Meeting. If you hold your shares of the Fund(s) in a brokerage account or through a bank, financial intermediary or other nominee, you will not be able to vote in person at the Meeting unless you have previously requested and obtained a “legal proxy” from your bank, broker, financial intermediary or other nominee and present it at the Meeting. |
Q: | Are the Funds paying for the costs of the joint proxy statement? |
A: | Each Fund will bear the costs associated with the joint proxy statement, including the preparation, printing, distribution and proxy solicitation costs, and additionalout-of-pocket costs, such as legal expenses and auditor fees, incurred in connection with the preparation of the joint proxy statement, except that BlackRock has agreed to cover a portion or all of such costs for certain 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. |
BlackRock Advisors, LLC and BlackRock Fund Advisors have retained Computershare Fund Services (“Computershare”), 2950 Express Drive South, Suite 210, Islandia, New York 11749, a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the distribution of proxy materials and the solicitation and tabulation of proxies on behalf of the Funds and the Equity-Bond Funds. It is anticipated that Computershare will be paid, in the aggregate, approximately $1,178,000 for such services (including reimbursements ofout-of-pocket expenses), of which approximately $267,000 will be payable by the Funds. |
Q: | Whom do I call if I have questions? |
A: | If you need more information, or have any questions about voting, please call Computershare, the proxy solicitor for the Funds, toll-free at1-866-200-9096. |
Voting your shares immediately will help minimize additional solicitation expenses and prevent the need to call you to solicit your vote. |

JOINT SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 21, 2018
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” or an “Existing Board” and the members of which are referred to as “Board Members” or “Existing Board Members”) of each of the registrants advised by BlackRock (defined below) listed inAppendix A to this Proxy Statement (each, a “Fund” or an “Equity-Liquidity Fund,” which may also be collectively referred to herein as the “Equity-Liquidity Complex”) for the election of directors or trustees. Each Fund is categorized in this Proxy Statement as a “Group A Fund” or a “Group B Fund” for purposes of electing the applicable Board Nominees (as defined below) in Proposal 1(a) or Proposal 1(b). In addition, if you are a shareholder of a Fund or a series of a Fund organized as a “feeder” in a “master/feeder” structure (each, a “Feeder Fund” and collectively, the “Feeder Funds”) where the master fund (each, a “Master Fund” and collectively, the “Master Funds”) is an Equity-Liquidity Fund (or a series of an Equity-Liquidity Fund), you will also be asked to provide voting instructions to your Feeder Fund as to how, as a beneficial owner of the corresponding Master Fund, your Feeder Fund should vote for the election of the Board Members overseeing such Master Fund (a list of Feeder Funds and their corresponding Master Funds is set forth inAppendix B). The proxies will be voted at the joint special meetings of shareholders of the Funds (the “Meeting”) and at any and all adjournments, postponements or delays thereof. The Meeting will take place at the offices of BlackRock Advisors, LLC, 1 University Square Drive, Princeton, New Jersey 08540-6455, on Wednesday, November 21, 2018, at 10:30 a.m. (Eastern time). The Meeting will be held for the purpose of electing fifteen nominees to the Board of each Group A Fund and eleven nominees to the Board of each Group B Fund (collectively, the “Board Nominees”).
The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Proxy Statement for the Meeting is in the best interests of such Fund and its shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by the shareholders of each Fund. Shareholders will receive either a copy of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy materials, which are expected to be mailed on or about October 9, 2018, or an Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Joint Special Meetings of Shareholders to be held on November 21, 2018 (the “Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials”), which is expected to be mailed on or about October 10, 2018.
Each Fund is organized as 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”), and each is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). A list identifying the form of organization of each Fund is set forth onAppendix A. Certain of the Funds have been structured as series Funds, and the separate series of the Funds are referred to herein as “Portfolios”. References to shareholders of a series Fund include shareholders of all Portfolios of that Fund.

Table of Contents
On September 17, 2018, certain newly-formed Portfolios (collectively, the “New Portfolios”) acquired all of the assets, subject to the liabilities, of corresponding funds that were within the Equity-Liquidity Complex (collectively, the “Predecessor Portfolios”) intax-free reorganizations (collectively, the “Reorganizations”). Each New Portfolio has the same investment objectives, strategies and policies, portfolio management team and contractual arrangements, including the same contractual fees and expenses, as the corresponding Predecessor Portfolio. As a result of the applicable Reorganization, each New Portfolio adopted the performance and financial history of the corresponding Predecessor Portfolio. Accordingly, certain information relating to each New Portfolio included in this Proxy Statement is that of the corresponding Predecessor Portfolio.
Each Fund’s fiscal year end can be found onAppendices F and H.
Shareholders of record of a Fund as of the close of business on September 24, 2018 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting and any and all adjournments, postponements or delays thereof. Shareholders of the Funds on the Record Date are entitled to the voting rights set forth onAppendix A, with no shares having cumulative voting rights. The quorum and voting requirements for Proposals 1(a) and 1(b), as applicable, for each Fund are also set forth inAppendix A. For each Fund that is organized as a series Fund, a quorum of the shareholders of such Fund as a whole, inclusive of the shareholders of each Portfolio of such Fund, is required in order to take any action at the Meeting with respect to Proposal 1(a) or 1(b) as applicable to that particular Fund.
The number of outstanding shares of each class of each Fund and Portfolio as of the close of business on the Record Date are shown inAppendix C.

PROPOSALS 1(a), 1(b), 2(a) AND 2(b)—ELECTION OF BOARD NOMINEES
The purpose of Proposal 1(a) is to elect fifteen Board Nominees to the Board of each Group A Fund (Board II).
The purpose of Proposal 1(b) is to elect eleven Board Nominees to the Board of each Group B Fund (Board I).
The purpose of Proposal 2(a) is to provide voting instructions to each Group A Feeder Fund with respect to how the Group A Feeder Fund, as a beneficial owner of the applicable Master Fund, should vote in connection with the election of fifteen Board Nominees to the Board of the applicable Master Fund.
The purpose of Proposal 2(b) is to provide voting instructions to BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund with respect to how BlackRock CoreAlpha Bond Fund, as beneficial owner of CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio, should vote in connection with the election of eleven Board Nominees to the Board of CoreAlpha Bond Master Portfolio.
A list of the Group A Funds and Group B Funds appears on pages4-6 of this Proxy Statement.
The election of the Board Nominees is being proposed as part of a larger initiative to realign and consolidate the Boards overseeing the mutual funds andclosed-end funds advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC or BlackRock Fund Advisors and/or their affiliates (collectively, the “BlackRock-advised Funds”). That initiative is described in more detail below. If elected by shareholders of the Funds at the Meeting, the Board Nominees would take office effective onJanuary 1, 2019 or such later date as will be communicated to shareholders if the Meeting is adjourned, postponed or delayed.
Explanation of Board Realignment and Consolidation
Currently, the BlackRock-advised Funds are divided into three different complexes – the Equity-Liquidity Complex, the Equity-Bond Complex and theClosed-End Complex (each, a “Fund Complex” and collectively, the “BlackRock Fund complex”) – and the same individuals comprise the boards of directors/trustees of the BlackRock-advised Funds within a Fund Complex. It is proposed that the three current boards of directors/trustees and the Fund Complexes they oversee be realigned and consolidated into two boards of directors/trustees and two Fund Complexes. Subject to shareholder approval, one board of directors/trustees (referred to in this Proxy Statement as “Board I”) would focus on the oversight of the BlackRock-advisednon-index fixed-income mutual funds and all of the BlackRock-advisedclosed-end funds within the BlackRock Fund complex, including fixed-income mutual funds that are designed for sale through insurance company separate accounts (collectively, the “Insurance Funds”). Subject to shareholder approval, the second board of directors/trustees (referred to in this Proxy Statement as “Board II”) would focus on the oversight of the BlackRock-advised equity, multi-asset, index and money market funds within the BlackRock Fund complex, including equity, multi-asset, index and money market Insurance Funds. Shareholders of the funds in the Equity-Bond Complex, including the Insurance Funds in the Equity-Bond Complex (collectively, the “Equity-Bond Funds”) are being asked to approve the Board Nominees to Board I and Board II, as applicable, in separate proxy statements.
Board I is expected to be comprised of all of the current directors/trustees who currently serve on the boards of directors/trustees of the BlackRock-advised Funds in theClosed-End Complex (collectively, the“Closed-End Funds”), plus an additional director/trustee who currently

Table of Contents
serves on the boards of directors/trustees of the Equity-Bond Funds (collectively, the “Equity-Bond Board”). Board II is expected to be comprised of directors/trustees who currently serve on the boards of directors/trustees of the Equity-Liquidity Funds (collectively, the “Equity-Liquidity Board”) and directors/trustees who currently serve on the Equity-Bond Board, other than (i) the members of the Equity-Liquidity Board and the Equity-Bond Board who are scheduled to retire at the end of 2018, (ii) the current member of the Equity-Bond Board who has been nominated to serve on Board I and (iii) two current members of the Equity-Liquidity Board who are expected to serve as consultants to the Independent Board Members (as defined below) of each Group A Fund following the realignment and consolidation. As discussed below, this realignment and consolidation is expected to enable each of Board I and Board II to focus attention on issues of particular relevance to the types of funds that they oversee and to streamline and enhance the effectiveness of board oversight of the applicable Fund Complex.
Reasons for Board Realignment and Consolidation
At meetings held in July 2018, the Equity-Liquidity Board and the Equity-Bond Board each determined that the board realignment and consolidation could provide benefits to shareholders of the Equity-Liquidity Funds and the Equity-Bond Funds, respectively. Each Board has reviewed the qualifications and backgrounds of the Board Nominees and believes that they are experienced in overseeing investment companies and are familiar with the BlackRock Fund complex and BlackRock. In addition, Board Members have had the opportunity to meet with their counterparts on other boards of directors/trustees in the BlackRock Fund complex. In particular, the Board Members considered:
1) | that each Fund would benefit from the realignment to Board I or Board II, as applicable, each of which would oversee the business and operations of a number of Funds that have similar investment strategies, which may provide the members of Board I or Board II, as applicable, with the potential to obtain enhanced insights into the Funds’ investment strategies, operations and their associated risks; |
2) | that while each member of Board II would oversee more of theopen-end BlackRock-advised Funds than before, the number of investment strategies used by the Group A Funds will not be significantly different and the division of investment strategies between Board I and Board II upon consolidation is appropriate; |
3) | the potential strength of the bargaining position of each of Board I and Board II upon realignment and consolidation with respect to interfacing with management and other service providers of the BlackRock-advised Funds they oversee; |
4) | that the Board I Nominees and the Board II Nominees have significant professional experience and skills, as well as experience overseeing funds that use similar kinds of investment strategies as used by the Group B Funds and Group A Funds, respectively; |
5) | that the Board Nominees have experience overseeing the nature and quality of investment advisory and other services that BlackRock provides to investment companies; |
6) | that the time spent by portfolio managers and other members of management keeping multiple boards of directors/trustees up to date would be reduced by board consolidation and realignment, resulting in greater efficiencies and potentially enhancing communication; and |
7) | the costs that are associated with the board realignment and consolidation, including the costs related to the proxy and the election of the Board Nominees and costs associated with reorganizations of a number of existing BlackRock-advised Funds into certain newly |

Table of Contents
organized Group B Funds as an initial step toward board realignment and consolidation, and the arrangement between BlackRock and certain Funds to share the costs associated with the board realignment and consolidation, and the potential for future cost savings for Fund shareholders due to the board realignment and consolidation generally. |
The Equity-Liquidity Board has concluded that the Board Nominees to Board II have the requisite capacity and expertise to oversee all of the Group A Funds and recommends that shareholders of Group A Funds vote for Proposal 1(a) and, if applicable, provide voting instructions for Proposal 2(a), and has concluded that the Board Nominees to Board I have the requisite capacity and expertise to oversee all of the Group B Funds and recommends that shareholders of Group B Funds vote for Proposal 1(b) and, if applicable, provide voting instructions for Proposal 2(b).
The Proposals described in this Proxy Statement were considered and approved by the Existing Board Members who were present at the July Meetings. You are being asked to elect the Board Nominees to serve as the Board of your Fund(s). Each Board I Nominee has consented to serve on the Boards of the Group B Funds if elected by shareholders. Each Board II Nominee has consented to serve on the Boards of the Group A Funds if elected by shareholders. If, however, before the election, a Nominee is unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, proxies may be voted for a replacement Board Nominee, if any, designated by the current Board Members of your Fund.
The nominations of the Board Nominees have been approved by the Existing Board Members. Information about the Board Nominees for your Fund’s Board is set forth below.
Nominees for Each Fund Board
The Board of each Equity-Liquidity Fund currently consists of 13 Board Members, 11 of whom are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act) (the “Independent Board Members”) of the Funds.

Each Board of the Funds in the Equity-Liquidity Complex currently consists of thirteen Board Members, eleven of whom are Independent Board Members.

The Funds are currently all included in the Equity-Liquidity Complex.
30
Table of Contents
The Boards have overall responsibility for the oversight of the Funds. The Chair of each Board is an Independent Board Member, and the Chair (as set forth below) of each Board committee (each, a “Committee”) is an Independent Board Member. Each Board has five standing Committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee (the “Governance Committee”), a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight Committee and an Executive Committee. The Boards do not have a compensation committee because the executive officers of the Funds, 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 the Chair of the Boards is to preside at 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 the Committee. The Chair of the Boards or the 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 Fund management, in executive session or with other service providers to the Funds. The Boards have regular in person 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 the next regular meeting. Each Committee of a Board meets regularly to conduct the oversight functions delegated to that Committee by the Board and reports its findings to the Board. Each Board and each standing Committee conducts annual assessments of its oversight function and structure. Each Board has determined that the Board’s leadership structure is appropriate because it allows the Board to exercise independent judgment over management and to allocate areas of responsibility among Committees and the full Board to enhance effective oversight.
The Boards have engaged BlackRock to manage the Funds on aday-to-day basis. Each Board is responsible for overseeing BlackRock, other service providers, the operations of each Fund and associated risks in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Company 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 BlackRock and its role in running the operations of the Funds.
Day-to-day risk management with respect to the Funds is the responsibility of BlackRock or other service providers (depending on the nature of the risk), subject to the supervision of BlackRock. 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 BlackRock 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 (the “Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm”) for the Funds, BlackRock, and internal auditors for BlackRock or its affiliates, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Funds and management’s or the service provider’s 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 appointed a Funds’ 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.

The Governance Committee of each Fund, other than BlackRock LifePath Dynamic 2060 Fund and LifePath Dynamic 2060 Master Portfolio (which each had two Governance Committee meetings), met four times (for Funds with fiscal years ending 3/31 and 4/30), five times (for Funds with fiscal years ending 1/31, 5/31, 6/30 and 12/31), six times (for Funds with fiscal years ending 7/31 and 10/31) and seven times (for Funds with fiscal years ending 9/30) during the Fund’s (or for series Funds, each Portfolio’s) most recent fiscal year, which is set forth inAppendix F.
The current members of each Fund’s Governance Committee, all of whom are Independent Board Members, are as follows:
Cynthia A. Montgomery (Chair)
Susan J. Carter
Collette Chilton
Robert C. Robb, Jr.

Effective January 1, 2019, it is anticipated that Cynthia A. Montgomery will serve as Chair of the Governance Committee of each Group A Fund and R. Glenn Hubbard will serve as Chair of the Governance Committee of each Group B Fund, subject to shareholder election of the Board Nominees.
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 each 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 each Fund in determining whether one or more new Board Members should be added to the Board. Each Board as a group strives to achieve diversity in terms of gender, race and geographic location. The Governance Committee of each Board believes that the Board Nominees as a group possess the array of skills, experiences and backgrounds necessary to guide each Fund. The Board Nominees’ biographies included in this Proxy Statement highlight the diversity and breadth of skills, qualifications and expertise that the Board Members bring to the Funds. The Governance Committee may, but is not required to, engage the services of a third-party firm at the relevant Funds’ expense to identify and assist in evaluating potential Board candidates.
Further, each Board has adopted Board Member qualification requirements, including: (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.
Compliance Committee. The Compliance Committee’s purpose is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee regulatory and fiduciary compliance matters involving the Funds, the fund-related activities of BlackRock and anysub-adviser and the Funds’ third-party service providers. The Compliance Committee’s responsibilities include, without limitation, to (1) oversee the compliance policies and procedures of each Fund and its service providers and recommend changes or additions to such policies and procedures; (2) review information on and, where appropriate, recommend policies concerning a Fund’s compliance with applicable law; (3) review reports from, oversee the annual performance review of, and make certain recommendations and determinations regarding each Fund’s CCO, including determining the amount and structure of the CCO’s compensation and recommending such amount and structure to the full Board for approval and ratification; and (4) undertake such other duties and responsibilities as may from time to time be delegated by the Board to the Compliance Committee. The Existing Board of each Fund has adopted a written charter for the Fund’s Compliance Committee.
The Compliance Committee of each Fund, other than BlackRock LifePath Dynamic 2060 Fund and LifePath Dynamic 2060 Master Portfolio (which each had two Compliance Committee meetings), met four times during the Fund’s (or for series Funds, each Portfolio’s) most recent fiscal year, which is set forth inAppendix F.

Performance Oversight Committee. The Performance Oversight Committee’s purpose is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee each Fund’s investment performance relative to its agreed-upon performance objectives and to assist the Independent Board Members in their consideration of investment advisory agreements. The Performance Oversight Committee’s responsibilities include, without limitation, to (1) review information on, and make recommendations to the full Board in respect of a Fund’s investment objective, policies and practices; (2) review information on each Fund’s investment performance; (3) review information on appropriate benchmarks and competitive universes and unusual or exceptional investment matters; (4) review personnel and other resources devoted to management of each Fund and evaluate the nature and quality of information furnished to the Performance Oversight Committee; (5) recommend any required action regarding changes in fundamental andnon-fundamental investment policies and restrictions, fund mergers or liquidations; (6) request and review information on the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the shareholders; (7) make recommendations to the Board concerning the approval or renewal of investment advisory agreements; and (8) undertake such other duties and responsibilities as may from time to time be delegated by the Board to the Performance Oversight Committee.

Executive Officers of the Funds. Information about the current executive officers of each Fund, including their year of birth and their principal occupations during the past five years, is set forth inAppendix G.
Your Board unanimously recommends that you vote, or provide voting instructions, “FOR” the election of each Board Nominee under each applicable Proposal.
VOTE REQUIRED AND MANNER OF VOTING PROXIES
For each Fund, a quorum of the shareholders of a Fund as a whole, including the shareholders of the Portfolios of the Fund, if any, is required to be present in person or represented by proxy, in order to take any action at the Meeting with respect to Proposals 1(a) and 1(b) as applicable to that particular Fund. The quorum requirement for each Fund is set forth inAppendix A.
The vote requirement for each Fund to elect Board Nominees is set forth inAppendix A. Votes on Proposals 1(a) and 1(b) will be tabulated on a Fund basis, such that the votes of Portfolios that are series of the same Fund will be voted together as a single class with respect to the election of the Board members of that Fund. Approval of Proposals 1(a) and 1(b) will occur only if a sufficient number of votes at the Meeting are cast “FOR” the proposal. Abstentions and “brokernon-votes” will not be counted as votes cast and therefore, abstentions and brokernon-votes will have the same effect as a vote against Proposals 1(a) or 1(b), as applicable, for Funds (identified inAppendixA) which require a majority of the outstanding shares present, in person or by proxy. However, abstentions and brokernon-votes will not have an effect on Proposals 1(a) or 1(b), as applicable, for Funds that require a plurality or a majority of the votes cast. Brokernon-votes occur when shares are held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name,” as to which proxies have been returned but (a) voting 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. A vote requiring a plurality to elect Board Nominees for a Fund means that the Board Nominees receiving the largest number of votes cast will be elected to fill the available positions for that Fund.
The shareholders of each Fund organized as a Feeder Fund in a master/feeder structure (identified inAppendix B) where such Fund invests all or substantially all of its assets in a corresponding Master Fund or series of a corresponding Master Fund are also being asked, in Proposals 2(a) and 2(b), as applicable, to provide voting instructions to such Feeder Fund with respect to the election of the Board Nominees of the corresponding Master Fund contemplated by Proposals 1(a) and 1(b), respectively.
Each Feeder Fund will vote its interests in the Master Fund in which it invests in accordance with the voting instructions received from the shareholders of the Feeder Fund and will vote interests in the Master Fund with respect to which it has not received voting instructions in the same proportion as the interests for which it has received instructions from other shareholders
36
Table of Contents
(this is called “proportional voting” or “echo voting”). The Feeder Funds do not require that a specified number of shareholders submit voting instructions before a Feeder Fund will vote its interests in the applicable Master Fund at the Meeting. Because each Feeder Fund will use proportional voting to vote its interests in its corresponding Master Fund, a small number of shareholders could determine how a Feeder Fund votes if other shareholders fail to vote. Please note that, as the Master Funds may have shareholders besides the Feeder Funds, it is possible that a matter may be approved by the Master Funds, even if it is not approved by Feeder Fund shareholders.
If you hold your shares directly through the Fund (i.e., not through a bank, broker, financial intermediary or other nominee, or variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy), and if you return a properly executed proxy card that does not specify how you wish to vote on Proposals 1(a) or 1(b), as applicable, your shares will be voted and voting instructions will be submitted, as applicable, in accordance with the recommendations of the Boards “FOR” the Board Nominees in Proposals 1(a) and 1(b) and, if applicable, “FOR” the Board Nominees in Proposals 2(a) and 2(b), as applicable.
The Funds expect that 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 Proposals 1(a) and 1(b), and to submit voting instructions for Proposals 2(a) and 2(b), as applicable, before the Meeting. Under New York Stock Exchange rules, broker-dealer firms may, without instructions, give a proxy to vote on routine matters if no instructions have been received prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm’s request for voting instructions. If instructions are not received by the date specified in the broker-dealer firms’ proxy solicitation materials, broker-dealers may vote on Proposals 1(a) and 1(b), and submit voting instructions for Proposals 2(a) and 2(b), as applicable, on behalf of the broker-dealer firms’ customers and beneficial owners. A properly executed proxy card or voting instruction form or other authorization by a beneficial owner of Fund shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner’s shares should be voted on a proposal may be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of such proposal.
Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Meeting. The inspector of election will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the Meeting. The inspector of election will treat withheld votes and brokernon-votes, if any, as present for purposes of determining a quorum.
If you are a beneficial shareholder of a Fund (that is if you hold shares of a Fund through a bank, broker, financial intermediary or other nominee (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 voting instruction form or other authorization by a shareholder that does not specify how the shareholder’s shares should be voted may be deemed to authorize a service provider to vote such shares in favor of Proposals 1(a) and 1(b), as applicable (and to submit voting instructions for Proposals 2(a) and 2(b), as applicable). 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.”

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board Members, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, of each Fund and Portfolio have selected Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T”) or PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), as applicable, as the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for each Fund and, if applicable, its Portfolios, as indicated onAppendix H.
No representatives of D&T or PwC will be present at the Meeting.
Appendix H 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 inAppendix H 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, includingout-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 and internal control reviews not required by regulators.
(c) Tax Fees—fees associated with tax compliance and/or tax preparation, tax advice and tax planning, 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” inAppendix H relate solely to services provided for tax compliance and/or tax preparation, and none of such fees relates 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.”
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 act upon (i) the provision by the Fund’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm of anynon-audit services to the Fund, and (ii) the provision by the Fund’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm ofnon-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. SeeAppendix H 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 thepre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to a Fund on an annual basis require specificpre-approval by the Fund’s Audit Committee. As noted above, each Fund’s Audit Committee must also approve othernon-audit services provided by the Fund’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to the Fund and to the Fund’s investment advisers and Affiliated Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the
38
Table of Contents
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 maypre-approve, without consideration on a specificcase-by-case basis (“generalpre-approval”), certain permissiblenon-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 generalpre-approval is presented to each Fund’s Audit Committee for ratification at the next regularly scheduledin-person Board meeting.
For each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years, there were no services rendered by D&T or PwC, as applicable, to the Funds for which the generalpre-approval requirement was waived.
Each Fund’s Audit Committee has considered the provision ofnon-audit services that were rendered by D&T or PwC, as applicable, to the Fund’s Affiliated Service Providers in connection with determining such auditor’s independence. All services provided by D&T or PWC, as applicable, to each Fund and each Fund’s Affiliated Service Providers that requiredpre-approval werepre-approved during the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year.
The Audit Committee of each Fund currently consists of the following Board Members, all of whom are Independent Board Members:
Kenneth L. Urish (Chair)
Neil A. Cotty
Claire A. Walton
Frederick W. Winter
Investment Manager,Sub-Advisers and Administrators
The investment manager,sub-adviser(s), if any, and administrator(s), if any, of each Fund are identified inAppendix I.
5% Share Ownership
As of September 24, 2018, to the best of each Fund’s knowledge, the persons listed inAppendix J owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the class of such Fund indicated.
Submission of Shareholder Proposals
The Funds do not hold annual meetings of shareholders. A shareholder proposal intended to be included in a proxy statement for a future meeting of shareholders of a Fund must be received at the offices of the Fund, 40 East 52nd Street, New York, New York 10022, a reasonable time before the Fund begins to print and mail its proxy materials. Timely submission of a proposal does not guarantee that such proposal will be included in a proxy statement or presented at the meeting. A shareholder proposal may be presented at a meeting of shareholders only if such proposal concerns a matter that may be properly brought before the meeting under applicable federal proxy rules, state law and the applicable Fund’s governing instruments. The persons named as proxies in future proxy materials of a Fund may exercise discretionary authority with
39
Table of Contents
respect to any shareholder proposal presented at any subsequent shareholder meeting if written notice of such proposal has not been received by that Fund a reasonable period of time before the Board Members’ solicitation relating to such meeting is made.
Shareholder Communications
Shareholders who want to communicate with the Board or any individual Board Member should write their Fund to the attention of the Secretary of the Fund, 40 East 52nd Street, New York, New York 10022. 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 Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer, 40 East 52nd Street, New York, New York 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. Such letters may be submitted on an anonymous basis.
Expense of Proxy Solicitation
Each Fund will bear the costs associated with the joint proxy statement, including the preparation, printing, distribution and proxy solicitation costs, and additionalout-of-pocket costs, such as legal expenses and auditor fees, incurred in connection with the preparation of the joint proxy statement, except that BlackRock has agreed to cover a portion or all of such costs for certain 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 be reasonably attributed to one or more specific Fund(s).
Voting your shares immediately will help minimize additional solicitation expenses and prevent the need to call you to solicit your vote.
Solicitation may be made by mail, telephone, fax,e-mail or the Internet by officers or employees of BlackRock, 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. BlackRock Advisors, LLC and BlackRock Fund Advisors have retained Computershare, located at 2950 Express Drive South, Suite 210, Islandia, New York 11749, a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the distribution of proxy materials and the solicitation and tabulation of proxies on behalf of the Funds and the Equity-Bond Funds. It is anticipated that Computershare will be paid, in the aggregate, approximately $1,178,000 for such services (including reimbursements ofout-of-pocket expenses), of which approximately $267,000 will be payable by the Funds. Computershare 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.

Common Questions about Notice and Access
Why am I receiving a Notice of Internet Availability instead of a Proxy Card and Proxy Statement?
The Funds have elected to utilize a distribution model authorized by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in 2007. This model, known as Notice and Access, allows mutual funds and public companies to send you a Notice instead of a full set of printed proxy materials. As a shareholder, you can select the means by which you access those proxy materials. You can view the materials online, or request a full set of printed materials for this shareholder meeting and all future shareholder meetings, or you can make that choice on acase-by-case basis.
How do I access the materials, set my preference for future shareholder meeting materials, and record my vote?
On the front side of this Notice areeasy-to-follow instructions on how to access proxy materials electronically or request a full set of printed materials.
When you are ready to vote, electronic voting is available by Internet or Touch-Tone Phone by using the Control Number and Security Code on the front of this Notice. The Touch-Tone voting phone number is different from the ordering phone number and is displayed on the website. If you want to vote via U.S. Mail, you will need to request a paper copy of the materials to receive a Proxy Card and Return Envelope.
You can set your delivery preferences for future shareholder meetings by recording your vote electronically and following the instructions on the confirmation screen.
If I request printed proxy materials, how long will it take for me to receive them?
The SEC rule requires that the materials be sent via first class mail within three business days of receipt of your request.
