The Markets in Review
Dear Shareholder,
Significant economic headwinds emerged during the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2022, as investors navigated changing economic conditions and volatile markets. The U.S. economy shrank in the first half of 2022 before returning to modest growth in the third quarter, marking a shift to a more challenging post-reopening economic environment. Changes in consumer spending patterns and a tight labor market led to elevated inflation, which reached a 40-year high before beginning to moderate. Moreover, while the foremost effect of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been a severe humanitarian crisis, the ongoing war continued to present challenges for both investors and policymakers.
Equity prices fell as interest rates rose, particularly during the first half of the reporting period. Both large- and small-capitalization U.S. stocks fell, although equities began to recover in the second half of the year as inflation eased and economic growth resumed. Emerging market stocks and international equities from developed markets declined overall, pressured by rising interest rates and a strengthening U.S. dollar.
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose notably during the reporting period, driving its price down, as investors reacted to fluctuating inflation data and attempted to anticipate its impact on future interest rate changes. The corporate bond market also faced inflationary headwinds, and heightened uncertainty led to higher corporate bond spreads (the difference in yield between U.S. Treasuries and similarly-dated corporate bonds).
The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), acknowledging that inflation has been more persistent than expected, raised interest rates seven times. Furthermore, the Fed wound down its bond-buying programs and is accelerating the reduction of its balance sheet. While the Fed suggested that additional rate hikes were likely, it also gave indications that the pace of increases would slow if inflation continued to subside.
The pandemic’s restructuring of the economy brought an ongoing mismatch between supply and demand, contributing to the current inflationary regime. While growth slowed in 2022, we believe that taming inflation requires a more dramatic economic decline to bring demand back to a level more in line with the economy’s capacity. The Fed has been raising interest rates at the fastest pace in decades, and seems set to overtighten in its effort to get inflation back to target. With this in mind, we believe the possibility of a U.S. recession in the near-term is high, but this prospect has not yet been fully priced in by markets. Investors should expect a period of higher volatility as markets adjust to the new economic reality and policymakers attempt to adapt to rapidly changing conditions.
In this environment, while we favor an overweight to equities in the long-term, the market’s concerns over excessive rate hikes from central banks moderate our outlook. Rising input costs and a deteriorating economic backdrop are likely to challenge corporate earnings, so we are underweight equities overall in the near term. However, we see better opportunities in credit, where valuations are attractive and higher yields provide income opportunities. We believe that global investment-grade corporates, global inflation-linked bonds, and U.S. mortgage-backed securities offer strong opportunities for a six- to twelve-month horizon.
Overall, our view is that investors need to think globally, position themselves to be prepared for a decarbonizing economy, and be nimble as market conditions change. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor and visit blackrock.com for further insight about investing in today’s markets.
Sincerely,

Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
For the six-month period ended December 31, 2022, all of the Fund’s share classes outperformed its primary benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, with the exception of the Fund’s Investor C shares, which underperformed. For the same period, all of the Fund’s share classes outperformed its secondary benchmark, a customized weighted index comprised of 85% Bloomberg Municipal Bond: New York Exempt Total Return Index Unhedged USD/10% Bloomberg Municipal Bond: New York High Yield (non-Investment Grade) Total Return Index/5% Bloomberg Municipal Index New York Taxable Bonds Total Return Index Value (the “Customized Reference Benchmark”). The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the Customized Reference Benchmark.
What factors influenced performance?
Municipal bonds posted slightly positive returns in the reporting period, as the benefit of income offset the effect of falling prices. Bonds, in general, remained under pressure from the combination of high inflation and continued interest rate increases by the Fed.
The Fund’s use of U.S. Treasury futures to manage interest rate risk was the strongest contributor to performance in the rising rate environment. The Fund also benefited from having a duration lower than that of the benchmark at various points throughout the period. (Duration is a measure of interest rate sensitivity.) The Fund’s yield curve positioning detracted from results due to an underweight in 10-year issues. Security selection in the utility sector also detracted, as did an overweight in lower-rated investment-grade and non-investment grade securities.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
The Fund’s net duration positioning increased over the period. New issuance of New York municipals remained robust, which kept yield spreads wide and presented opportunities to add securities at attractive valuations and higher coupons that are not typically available.
In terms of maturity positioning, the investment adviser made the largest increase in the 15- to 18-year range. It also raised the Fund’s allocation to AA rated bonds. At the sector level, the largest increase occurred in transportation issues. The investment adviser also continued to focus its efforts on diversifying when opportunities became available at favorable valuations. The Fund’s cash weighting was slightly above 5% at the close of the year, which is higher than normal. This positioning was temporary in nature, and it did not have a material impact on performance.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
The Fund’s net duration was marginally below the benchmark but higher than it was at the end of 2021. The Fund was overweight in A rated bonds and lower-quality debt. It was also overweight in the 15- to 25-year maturity range.

Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
For the six-month period ended December 31, 2022, the Fund’s Institutional and Class K Shares outperformed its primary benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal High Yield Bond Index, while Investor A Shares performed in line and the Investor C Shares underperformed. For the same period, all the Fund’s share classes underperformed the secondary benchmark, a customized weighted index comprised of 20% Bloomberg Municipal Bond Rated Baa Index / 60% Bloomberg Municipal Bond: High Yield (non-Investment Grade) Total Return Index / 20% Bloomberg Municipal Investment Grade ex BBB (the “High Yield Customized Reference Benchmark”). The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the High Yield Customized Reference Benchmark.
What factors influenced performance?
High yield municipal bonds posted negative returns in the reporting period, with the effect of falling prices offsetting the benefit from income. Bonds, in general, remained under pressure from the combination of high inflation and continued interest rate increases by the Fed. High yield municipals bonds lagged investment-grade issues at a time of elevated investor risk aversion.
The Fund’s long duration positioning (above-benchmark interest rate sensitivity) detracted from performance. Similarly, holdings in bonds with coupons of less than 5% and maturities of 20 years and longer lagged due to their above-average interest rate sensitivity. The Fund’s use of leverage, though modest, nonetheless detracted at a time in which prices generally moved lower. At the sector level, utilities detracted primarily due to the Fund’s out-of-benchmark position in the bonds of Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority.
Income was a large contributor to performance given the decline in prices across the asset class. The Fund’s use of U.S. Treasury futures to manage interest rate risk also contributed to performance in the rising-rate environment. The Fund’s cash position, while limited, helped results given the negative return for the index.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
The Fund kept duration above that of the benchmark throughout the period, but the investment adviser added to the short Treasury position to limit interest rate sensitivity. The Fund’s tax-loss harvesting picked up in the final months of 2022, as declining prices gave the investment adviser the opportunity to rotate into higher-yielding securities.
At a time of sizable industry outflows, the investment adviser opted to keep ample cash reserves to meet redemptions. When replenishing cash reserves, the investment adviser sold some of the Fund’s holdings in more defensive securities that had outperformed.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
The Fund maintained a long duration versus the benchmark, as valuations had become much more compelling following the market downturn and concurrent widening of yield spreads. The Fund’s yield curve positioning featured overweights in maturities of 20 years and longer on the view that this market segment offered an attractive relative value. The investment adviser maintained a bias toward higher-quality bonds due to their favorable liquidity characteristics. Education (led by charter schools) was the Fund’s leading sector overweight, followed by development districts and corporate-backed securities. State tax-backed, local tax-backed and school districts were the largest underweights, highlighting the investment adviser’s preference for revenue sectors.

Fund Summary as of December 31, 2022 | | BlackRock National Municipal Fund |
Investment Objective

Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
For the six-month period ended December 31, 2022, the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, and its secondary benchmark, a customized weighted index comprised of 90% Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index Total Return Index Valued Unhedged / 10% Bloomberg Municipal Bond: High Yield (non-Investment Grade) Total Return Index (the “National Customized Reference Benchmark”). The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the National Customized Reference Benchmark.
What factors influenced performance?
Municipal bonds posted slightly positive returns in the semi-annual period, as the benefit of income offset the effect of falling prices. Bonds, in general, remained under pressure from the combination of high inflation and continued interest rate increases by the Fed.
Given the flat returns for the market and the Fund’s closely in-line performance versus the benchmark, few aspects of portfolio positioning stood out as key drivers of relative performance. With that said, positions in longer-duration, longer-maturity securities were a modest contributor. (Duration is a measure of interest-rate sensitivity). Overweights in the transportation, utilities and corporate-backed sectors were slightly additive to results, as well.
On the negative side, the Fund’s cash position, while limited, was a slight detractor given the narrow gain for the index. Holdings in bonds with short call dates also underperformed due to their lower duration. (A bond is “called” when an issuer redeems it prior to its maturity date.)
The Fund continued to use U.S. Treasury futures to manage interest-rate risk, but this strategy, which helped performance in the first half of 2022, marginally detracted from performance in the ultimately flat market.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
The historic rise in yields over the past year has created valuations that the investment adviser believes should provide an attractive entry point for long-term investors. The increase in yields has occurred in the context of improving municipal credit quality, indicating a potentially favorable risk/return profile in the market. Still, the investment adviser expects Fed policy and mutual fund flows are likely to remain a source of volatility in the near term.
With this as background, the investment adviser increased the Fund’s duration by putting cash to work in longer-term bonds. Additionally, it reduced the extent of its interest rate risk-management program.
The investment adviser also sought to rotate the portfolio’s holdings to take tax losses where appropriate.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
The Fund had an average credit quality of AA-, and it held a 13.8% weighting in bonds subject to the alternative minimum tax (“AMT”). Duration stood at approximately 8.9 years, compared with 7.0 years for the benchmark. The portfolio was overweight in the corporate-backed, transportation and utilities sectors, while its largest underweight was in the school districts category.

Portfolio Management Commentary
How did the Fund perform?
For the six-month period ended December 31, 2022, the Fund’s Institutional, Investor A1 and Class K shares outperformed their primary benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal 1-5 Year Index, while the Investor A Shares performed in line and the Investor C Shares underperformed. For the same period, all the Fund’s share classes outperformed its secondary benchmark, a customized index comprised of the Bloomberg National Short 0-3 Year Maturities, excluding non-investment grade (the “Short-Term Customized Reference Benchmark”), except for the Fund’s Investor C Shares which underperformed. The following discussion of relative performance pertains to the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the Short-Term Customized Reference Benchmark.
What factors influenced performance?
Municipal bonds posted slightly positive returns in the reporting period, as the benefit of income offset the effect of falling prices. Bonds, in general, remained under pressure from the combination of high inflation and continued interest rate increases by the Fed.
The Fund’s underweight to duration contributed to performance at a time of rising rates. (Duration is a measure of interest rate sensitivity.) An overweight in bonds with maturities of one year and less, together with an overweight in those with maturities of three to four years, also helped performance. An overweight in the healthcare sector further contributed, as did an underweight in AAA rated securities.
On the other hand, overweights in the education, housing, corporate-backed and transportation sectors detracted. The Fund was also hurt by its overweights in four- to seven-year maturities, AA rated debt, and lower-quality issues.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
The investment adviser took advantage of market strength in July 2022 by tactically shifting to an underweight duration position. It remained underweight-to-neutral against the benchmark for the remainder of the period.
The investment adviser reduced the Fund’s allocation to bonds subject to the alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) as yield spreads tightened. However, it believed the yields on AMT debt remained attractive relative to other opportunities in short-dated securities. In addition, the pool of investors subject to the AMT has declined considerably following the changes under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
The investment adviser also added to the Fund’s floating rate position, shifting from VRDNs (“variable rate demand notes”) into FRNs (“floating rate notes”). Both VRDN and FRN securities have augmented the Fund’s defensive positioning, and they have benefited from rising rates.
The investment adviser continued to emphasize A and BBB rated debt. It preferred lower-rated investment-grade securities on a longer-term basis given the bonds’ compelling risk-adjusted yields. In addition, the highly diverse market provides a wide range of opportunities to identify undervalued issues.
Finally, the Fund participated in the new issuance of a series of municipal general obligation one-year notes that were priced with attractive yield spreads.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
The Fund had a slightly short duration relative to the benchmark. It was overweight in zero- to two-year and four- to seven-year bonds, and it was underweight in the three- to four-year maturity range. In terms of credit quality, the Fund was overweight in lower-rated investment-grade debt (securities rated A and BBB), and it was underweight in those rated AAA and AA.
The Fund was overweight in the corporate-backed, transportation, housing and sectors, and it was underweight in general obligations, utilities and pre-refunded issues.
Although the Fund was fully invested, it held a meaningful, 14% position in short-term VRDNs. VRDNs allow the investment adviser to maintain positions in the longer-dated portion of the yield curve while also keeping the portfolio’s duration near that of the index. VRDNs have no price volatility, and their yields adjust higher as rates rise.

About Fund Performance
Institutional and Class K Shares are not subject to any sales charge. These shares bear no ongoing distribution or service fees and are available only to certain eligible investors. BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund’s and BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund’s Class K Share performance shown prior to the Class K shares inception date of January 25, 2018 is that of the respective Fund’s Institutional Shares. The performance of each Fund’s Class K Shares would be substantially similar to Institutional Shares because Class K Shares and Institutional Shares invest in the same portfolio of securities and performance would only differ to the extent that Class K Shares and Institutional Shares have different expenses. The actual returns of Class K Shares would have been higher than those of the Institutional Shares because Class K Shares have lower expenses than the Institutional Shares. On the close of business on August 15, 2016, all of the issued and outstanding BlackRock Shares of BlackRock National Municipal Fund were redesignated as Class K Shares.
Service Shares (available only in BlackRock National Municipal Fund) are not subject to any sales charge. These shares are subject to a service fee of 0.25% per year (but no distribution fee) and are only available to certain eligible investors.
Investor A Shares are subject to a maximum initial sales charge (front-end load) of 4.25% for all Funds except BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund, which incurs a 3.00% maximum initial sales charge, and all Funds incur a service fee of 0.25% per year (but no distribution fee). Certain redemptions of these shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) where no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase. These shares are generally available through financial intermediaries.
Investor A1 Shares (available only in BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund and BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund) are subject to a maximum initial sales charge (front-end load) of 4.00% for BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund and 1.00% for BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund and a service fee of 0.10% per year (but no distribution fee). The maximum initial sales charge does not apply to current eligible investors of Investor A1 Shares of the Funds. These shares are only available for dividend and capital gain reinvestment by existing shareholders and for purchase by certain eligible employer-sponsored retirement plans. Certain redemptions of these shares may be subject to a CDSC where no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase. However, the CDSC does not apply to redemptions by certain employer-sponsored retirement plans or to redemptions of shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains by existing shareholders.
Investor C Shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. In addition, these shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.75% per year and a service fee of 0.25% per year. These shares are generally available through financial intermediaries. These shares automatically convert to Investor A Shares after approximately eight years.
Past performance is not an indication of future results. Financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. These circumstances may continue for an extended period of time and may continue to affect adversely the value and liquidity of each Fund’s investments. As a result, current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Refer to blackrock.com to obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end. Performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Figures shown in the performance table(s) assume reinvestment of all distributions, if any, at net asset value (“NAV”) on the ex-dividend date or payable date, as applicable. Investment return and principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Distributions paid to each class of shares will vary because of the different levels of service, distribution and transfer agency fees applicable to each class, which are deducted from the income available to be paid to shareholders.
BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), each Fund’s investment adviser, has contractually and/or voluntarily agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of each Fund’s expenses. Without such waiver(s) and/or reimbursement(s), each Fund’s performance would have been lower. With respect to each Fund’s voluntary waiver(s), if any, the Manager is under no obligation to waive and/or reimburse or to continue waiving and/or reimbursing its fees and such voluntary waiver(s) may be reduced or discontinued at any time. With respect to each Fund’s contractual waiver(s), if any, the Manager is under no obligation to continue waiving and/or reimbursing its fees after the applicable termination date of such agreement. See the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information on waivers and/or reimbursements.
The standardized 30-day yield includes the effects of any waivers and/or reimbursements. The unsubsidized 30-day yield excludes the effects of any waivers and/or reimbursements.
Disclosure of Expenses
Shareholders of each Fund may incur the following charges: (a) transactional expenses, such as sales charges; and (b) operating expenses, including investment advisory fees, service and distribution fees, including 12b-1 fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, and other fund expenses. The expense examples shown (which are based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the end of the period) are intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on an investment in each Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The expense examples provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 and then multiply the result by the number corresponding to their Fund and share class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”
The expense examples also provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. In order to assist shareholders in comparing the ongoing expenses of investing in these Funds and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
The expenses shown in the expense examples are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect transactional expenses, such as sales charges, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help shareholders determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder expenses would have been higher.

ABOUT FUND PERFORMANCE / DISCLOSURE OF EXPENSES | | 15 |
The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging
The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance returns and net asset value (“NAV”). However, there is no guarantee that these objectives can be achieved in all interest rate environments.
Each of BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund, BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund and BlackRock National Municipal Fund may leverage its assets through the use of proceeds received in tender option bond (“TOB”) transactions, as described in the Notes to Financial Statements. In a TOB Trust transaction, each Fund transfers municipal bonds or other municipal securities into a special purpose entity (a “TOB Trust”). TOB investments generally provide each Fund with economic benefits in periods of declining short-term interest rates but expose each Fund to risks during periods of rising short-term interest rates. Additionally, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into a TOB Trust may adversely affect each Fund’s NAV per share.
In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the financing cost of leverage, which is based on short-term interest rates, is normally lower than the income earned by each Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments purchased with the proceeds from leverage. To the extent that the total assets of each Fund (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, the Fund’s shareholders benefit from the incremental net income.
The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from leverage is distributed to the Funds’ shareholders, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected in each Fund’s per share NAV. However, in order to benefit shareholders, the return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds must exceed the ongoing costs associated with the leverage. If interest and other ongoing costs of leverage exceed a Fund’s return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds, income to shareholders is lower than if the Fund had not used leverage.
Furthermore, the value of each Fund’s portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can also influence the value of portfolio investments. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence each Fund’s NAV positively or negatively in addition to the impact on each Fund’s performance from leverage. Changes in the direction of interest rates are difficult to predict accurately, and there is no assurance that a Fund’s leveraging strategy will be successful.
The use of leverage also generally causes greater changes in each Fund’s NAV and dividend rates than comparable portfolios without leverage. In a declining market, leverage is likely to cause a greater decline in the NAV of a Fund’s shares than if the Fund was not leveraged. In addition, each Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of the leverage instruments, which may cause the Funds to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit a Fund’s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies. Each Fund incurs expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by each Fund’s shareholders and may reduce income.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Funds may invest in various derivative financial instruments. These instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, commodity, index, market, and/or other assets without owning or taking physical custody of securities, commodities and/or other referenced assets or to manage market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments may give rise to a form of economic leverage and involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the instrument. Pursuant to Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, among other things, the Funds must either use derivative financial instruments with embedded leverage in a limited manner or comply with an outer limit on fund leverage risk based on value-at-risk. The Funds’ successful use of a derivative financial instrument depends on the investment adviser’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of these instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may limit the amount of appreciation a Fund can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to shareholders. The Funds’ investments in these instruments, if any, are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Each Fund offers multiple classes of shares. All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and are subject to the same terms and conditions, except that certain classes bear expenses related to the shareholder servicing and distribution of such shares. Institutional, Service and Class K Shares are sold only to certain eligible investors. Service, Investor A, Investor A1 and Investor C Shares bear certain expenses related to shareholder servicing of such shares, and Investor C Shares also bear certain expenses related to the distribution of such shares. Investor A and Investor C Shares are generally available through financial intermediaries. Investor A1 Shares are only available for dividend and capital gain reinvestment by existing shareholders, and for purchase by certain employer-sponsored retirement plans. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its shareholder servicing and distribution expenditures (except that Investor C shareholders may vote on material changes to the Investor A Shares distribution and service plan).

The Board of Trustees of BlackRock Multi-State Municipal Series Trust and Board of Directors of BlackRock Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. are collectively referred to throughout this report as the “Board,” and the directors/trustees thereof are collectively referred to throughout this report as “Directors”.
The Funds, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) or its affiliates, are included in a complex of funds referred to as the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. Below is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are executed. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend dates at fair value. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized daily on an accrual basis. Income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets.
Collateralization: If required by an exchange or counterparty agreement, the Funds may be required to deliver/deposit cash and/or securities to/with an exchange, or broker-dealer or custodian as collateral for certain investments.
Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates and made at least annually. The character and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Deferred Compensation Plan: Under the Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) approved by each Fund’s Board, the directors who are not “interested persons” of the Funds, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Directors”), may defer a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of certain funds in the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex selected by the Independent Directors. This has the same economic effect for the Independent Directors as if the Independent Directors had invested the deferred amounts directly in certain funds in the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex.
| | |
82 | | 2 0 2 2 BLACK ROCK SEMI - ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
The Plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of each Fund, as applicable. Deferred compensation liabilities, if any, are included in the Directors’ and Officer’s fees payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will remain as a liability of the Funds until such amounts are distributed in accordance with the Plan. Net appreciation (depreciation) in the value of participants’ deferral accounts is allocated among the participating funds in the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex and reflected as Directors and Officer expense on the Statements of Operations. The Directors and Officer expense may be negative as a result of a decrease in value of the deferred accounts.
Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, a Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against a Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund or its classes are charged to that Fund or the applicable class. Expenses directly related to the Funds and other shared expenses prorated to the Funds are allocated daily to each class based on their relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Other operating expenses shared by several funds, including other funds managed by the Manager, are prorated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
3. | INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Investment Valuation Policies: Each Fund’s investments are valued at fair value (also referred to as “market value” within the financial statements) each day that the Fund is open for business and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Board has approved the designation of each Fund’s Manager as the valuation designee for each Fund. Each Fund determines the fair values of its financial instruments using various independent dealers or pricing services under the Manager’s policies. If a security’s market price is not readily available or does not otherwise accurately represent the fair value of the security, the security will be valued in accordance with the Manager’s policies and procedures as reflecting fair value. The Manager has formed a committee (the “Valuation Committee”) to develop pricing policies and procedures and to oversee the pricing function for all financial instruments, with assistance from other BlackRock pricing committees.
Fair Value Inputs and Methodologies: The following methods and inputs are used to establish the fair value of each Fund’s assets and liabilities:
| • | | Fixed-income investments for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued using the last available bid price or current market quotations provided by independent dealers or third-party pricing services. Pricing services generally value fixed-income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. The pricing services may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data (e.g., recent representative bids and offers), market data, credit quality information, perceived market movements, news, and other relevant information. Certain fixed-income securities, including asset-backed and mortgage related securities may be valued based on valuation models that consider the estimated cash flows of each tranche of the entity, establish a benchmark yield and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. The amortized cost method of valuation may be used with respect to debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining to maturity unless the Manager determines such method does not represent fair value. |
| • | | Exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and closed-end funds traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded. ETFs and closed-end funds traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. |
| • | | Investments in open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”). |
| • | | Futures contracts are valued based on that day’s last reported settlement or trade price on the exchange where the contract is traded. |
If events (e.g., market volatility, company announcement or a natural disaster) occur that are expected to materially affect the value of such investment, or in the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Valuation Committee in accordance with the Manager’s policies and procedures as reflecting fair value (“Fair Valued Investments”). The fair valuation approaches that may be used by the Valuation Committee include market approach, income approach and cost approach. Valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow, use of market comparables and matrix pricing are types of valuation approaches and are typically used in determining fair value. When determining the price for Fair Valued Investments, the Valuation Committee seeks to determine the price that each Fund might reasonably expect to receive or pay from the current sale or purchase of that asset or liability in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Valuation Committee deems relevant and consistent with the principles of fair value measurement.
For investments in equity or debt issued by privately held companies or funds (“Private Company” or collectively, the “Private Companies”) and other Fair Valued Investments, the fair valuation approaches that are used by the Valuation Committee and third-party pricing services utilized by the Valuation Committee include one or a combination of, but not limited to, the following inputs.
| | |
| | Standard Inputs Generally Considered By The Valuation Committee And Third-Party Pricing Services |
Market approach | | (i) recent market transactions, including subsequent rounds of financing, in the underlying investment or comparable issuers; (ii) recapitalizations and other transactions across the capital structure; and (iii) market multiples of comparable issuers. |
Income approach | | (i) future cash flows discounted to present and adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, and/or market risks; (ii) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and (iii) other risk factors, such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts and/or default rates. |
Cost approach | | (i) audited or unaudited financial statements, investor communications and financial or operational metrics issued by the Private Company; (ii) changes in the valuation of relevant indices or publicly traded companies comparable to the Private Company; (iii) relevant news and other public sources; and (iv) known secondary market transactions in the Private Company’s interests and merger or acquisition activity in companies comparable to the Private Company. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | | 83 |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Investments in series of preferred stock issued by Private Companies are typically valued utilizing market approach in determining the enterprise value of the company. Such investments often contain rights and preferences that differ from other series of preferred and common stock of the same issuer. Enterprise valuation techniques such as an option pricing model (“OPM”), a probability weighted expected return model (“PWERM”), current value method or a hybrid of those techniques are used as deemed appropriate under the circumstances. The use of these valuation techniques involve a determination of the exit scenarios of the investment in order to appropriately allocate the enterprise value of the company among the various parts of its capital structure.
The Private Companies are not subject to the public company disclosure, timing, and reporting standards applicable to other investments held by a Fund. Typically, the most recently available information by a Private Company is as of a date that is earlier than the date a Fund is calculating its NAV. This factor may result in a difference between the value of the investment and the price a Fund could receive upon the sale of the investment.
Fair Value Hierarchy: Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:
| • | | Level 1 – Unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that each Fund has the ability to access; |
| • | | Level 2 – Other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market–corroborated inputs); and |
| • | | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of financial instruments). |
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs used by the Valuation Committee in determining the price for Fair Valued Investments. Level 3 investments include equity or debt issued by privately held companies or funds that may not have a secondary market and/or may have a limited number of investors. The categorization of a value determined for financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
4. | SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS |
Zero-Coupon Bonds: Zero-coupon bonds are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. These bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than other debt obligations of similar maturity which provide for regular interest payments.
Municipal Bonds Transferred to TOB Trusts: Certain Funds leverage their assets through the use of “TOB Trust” transactions. The funds transfer municipal bonds into a special purpose trust (a “TOB Trust”). A TOB Trust issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests (“TOB Trust Certificates”), which are sold to third-party investors, and residual inverse floating rate interests (“TOB Residuals”), which are issued to the participating funds that contributed the municipal bonds to the TOB Trust. The TOB Trust Certificates have interest rates that reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender such certificates to the TOB Trust for redemption at par and any accrued interest at each reset date. The TOB Residuals held by a fund provide the fund with the right to cause the holders of a proportional share of the TOB Trust Certificates to tender their certificates to the TOB Trust at par plus accrued interest. The funds may withdraw a corresponding share of the municipal bonds from the TOB Trust. Other funds managed by the investment adviser may also contribute municipal bonds to a TOB Trust into which a fund has contributed bonds. If multiple BlackRock-advised funds participate in the same TOB Trust, the economic rights and obligations under the TOB Residuals will be shared among the funds ratably in proportion to their participation in the TOB Trust.
TOB Trusts are supported by a liquidity facility provided by a third-party bank or other financial institution (the “Liquidity Provider”) that allows the holders of the TOB Trust Certificates to tender their certificates in exchange for payment of par plus accrued interest on any business day. The tendered TOB Trust Certificates are remarketed by a Remarketing Agent. In the event of a failed remarketing, the TOB Trust may draw upon a loan from the Liquidity Provider to purchase the tendered TOB Trust Certificates. Any loans made by the Liquidity Provider will be secured by the purchased TOB Trust Certificates held by the TOB Trust and will be subject to an increased interest rate based on number of days the loan is outstanding.
The TOB Trust may be collapsed without the consent of a fund, upon the occurrence of a termination event as defined in the TOB Trust agreement. Upon the occurrence of a termination event, a TOB Trust would be liquidated with the proceeds applied first to any accrued fees owed to the trustee of the TOB Trust, the Remarketing Agent and the Liquidity Provider. Upon certain termination events, TOB Trust Certificates holders will be paid before the TOB Residuals holders (i.e., the Funds) whereas in other termination events, TOB Trust Certificates holders and TOB Residuals holders will be paid pro rata.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
While a fund’s investment policies and restrictions expressly permit investments in inverse floating rate securities, such as TOB Residuals, they restrict the ability of a fund to borrow money for purposes of making investments. Each Fund’s transfer of the municipal bonds to a TOB Trust is considered a secured borrowing for financial reporting purposes. The cash received by the TOB Trust from the sale of the TOB Trust Certificates, less certain transaction expenses, is paid to a Fund. A Fund typically invests the cash received in additional municipal bonds.
Accounting for TOB Trusts: The municipal bonds deposited into a TOB Trust are presented in a Fund’s Schedule of Investments and the TOB Trust Certificates are shown in Other Liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Any loans drawn by the TOB Trust pursuant to the liquidity facility to purchase tendered TOB Trust Certificates are shown as Loan for TOB Trust Certificates. The carrying amount of a Fund’s payable to the holder of the TOB Trust Certificates, as reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as TOB Trust Certificates, approximates its fair value.
Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts, from the underlying municipal bonds is recorded by a Fund on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the TOB Trust transaction and other expenses related to remarketing, administration, trustee, liquidity and other services to a TOB Trust are shown as interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations. Fees paid upon creation of the TOB Trust are recorded as debt issuance costs and are amortized to interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations to the expected maturity of the TOB Trust. In connection with the restructurings of the TOB Trusts to non-bank sponsored TOB Trusts, a Fund incurred non-recurring, legal and restructuring fees, which are recorded as interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations. Amounts recorded within interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations are:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| (a) | The municipal bonds transferred to a TOB Trust are generally high grade municipal bonds. In certain cases, when municipal bonds transferred are lower grade municipal bonds, the TOB Trust transaction may include a credit enhancement feature that provides for the timely payment of principal and interest on the bonds to the TOB Trust by a credit enhancement provider in the event of default of the municipal bond. The TOB Trust would be responsible for the payment of the credit enhancement fee and the Funds, as TOB Residuals holders, would be responsible for reimbursement of any payments of principal and interest made by the credit enhancement provider. The maximum potential amounts owed by the Funds, for such reimbursements, as applicable, are included in the maximum potential amounts disclosed for recourse TOB Trusts in the Schedules of Investments. | |
| (b) | TOB Trusts may be structured on a non-recourse or recourse basis. When a Fund invests in TOB Trusts on a non-recourse basis, the Liquidity Provider may be required to make a payment under the liquidity facility to allow the TOB Trust to repurchase TOB Trust Certificates. The Liquidity Provider will be reimbursed from the liquidation of bonds held in the TOB Trust. If a Fund invests in a TOB Trust on a recourse basis, a Fund enters into a reimbursement agreement with the Liquidity Provider where a Fund is required to reimburse the Liquidity Provider for any shortfall between the amount paid by the Liquidity Provider and proceeds received from liquidation of municipal bonds held in the TOB Trust (the “Liquidation Shortfall”). As a result, if a Fund invests in a recourse TOB Trust, a Fund will bear the risk of loss with respect to any Liquidation Shortfall. If multiple funds participate in any such TOB Trust, these losses will be shared ratably, including the maximum potential amounts owed by a Fund at December 31, 2022, in proportion to their participation in the TOB Trust. The recourse TOB Trusts are identified in the Schedules of Investments including the maximum potential amounts owed by a Fund at December 31, 2022. | |
For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the following table is a summary of each Fund’s Loan for TOB Trust Certificates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund Name | | Loans Outstanding at Period End | | | Range of Interest Rates on Loans at Period End | | | Average Loans Outstanding | | | Daily Weighted Average Rate of Interest and Other Expenses on Loans | |
New York Municipal | | $ | — | | | | — | % | | $ | 478,285 | | | | 1.69 | % |
5. | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The Funds engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Funds and/or to manage their exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk or other risks (e.g., inflation risk). Derivative financial instruments categorized by risk exposure are included in the Schedules of Investments. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (“OTC”).
Futures Contracts: Futures contracts are purchased or sold to gain exposure to, or manage exposure to, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk) and changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk).
Futures contracts are exchange-traded agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and on a specified date. Depending on the terms of a contract, it is settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash amount on the settlement date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in
| | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | | 85 |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
an amount that varies depending on a contract’s size and risk profile. The initial margin deposit must then be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Amounts pledged, which are considered restricted, are included in cash pledged for futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited, if any, are shown as cash pledged for futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Pursuant to the contract, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in market value of the contract (“variation margin”). Variation margin is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable (or payable) on futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statements of Operations equal to the difference between the notional amount of the contract at the time it was opened and the notional amount at the time it was closed. The use of futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts and interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or underlying assets.
6. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Investment Advisory: The Corporation and the Trust, on behalf of the applicable Funds, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Manager, the Funds’ investment adviser and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”), to provide investment advisory and administrative services. The Manager is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio and provides the personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Fund.
For such services, each Fund pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate equal to the following percentages of the average daily value of each Fund’s net assets:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Investment Advisory Fees | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | New York Municipal | | | High Yield Municipal | |
First $1 billion | | | 0.47 | % | | | 0.47 | % |
$1 billion — $3 billion | | | 0.44 | | | | 0.44 | |
$3 billion — $5 billion | | | 0.42 | | | | 0.42 | |
$5 billion — $10 billion | | | 0.41 | | | | 0.41 | |
Greater than $10 billion | | | 0.40 | | | | 0.40 | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | Investment Advisory Fees | |
Aggregate of Average Daily Net Assets of the Two Combined Funds(a) | | National Municipal | | | Short-Term Municipal | |
First $250 Million | | | 0.410 | % | | | 0.360 | % |
$250 Million — $400 Million | | | 0.385 | | | | 0.340 | |
$400 Million — $550 Million | | | 0.385 | | | | 0.320 | |
Greater than $550 Million | | | 0.385 | | | | 0.290 | |
| (a) | The portion of the assets of a Fund to which the rate of each breakpoint level applies will be determined on a “uniform percentage” basis. The uniform percentage applicable to a breakpoint level is determined by dividing the amount of the aggregate average daily net assets of National Municipal and Short-Term Municipal (the “two combined Funds”) that falls within that breakpoint level by the aggregate average daily net assets of the two combined Funds. The amount of the fee for a Fund at each breakpoint level is determined by multiplying the average daily net assets of that Fund by the uniform percentage applicable to that breakpoint level and multiplying the product by the advisory fee rate. | |
Service and Distribution Fees: The Corporation and the Trust, on behalf of the applicable Funds, entered into a Distribution Agreement and a Distribution and Service Plan with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”), an affiliate of the Manager. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plan and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, each Fund pays BRIL ongoing service and distribution fees. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates based upon the average daily net assets of the relevant share class of the Fund as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

BRIL and broker-dealers, pursuant to sub-agreements with BRIL, provide shareholder servicing and distribution services to the Funds. The ongoing service and/or distribution fee compensates BRIL and each broker-dealer for providing shareholder servicing and/or distribution related services to shareholders.
For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the following table shows the class specific service and distribution fees borne directly by each share class of each Fund:

Transfer Agent: Pursuant to written agreements, certain financial intermediaries, some of which may be affiliates, provide the Funds with sub-accounting, recordkeeping, sub-transfer agency and other administrative services with respect to servicing of underlying investor accounts. For these services, these entities receive an asset-based fee

Interfund Lending: In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), each Fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing facility for temporary purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by each Fund’s investment policies and restrictions. New York Municipal, National Municipal and Short-Term Municipal are currently permitted to borrow under the Interfund Lending Program. High Yield Municipal is currently permitted to borrow and lend under the Interfund Lending Program.
A lending BlackRock fund may lend in aggregate up to 15% of its net assets but may not lend more than 5% of its net assets to any one borrowing fund through the Interfund Lending Program. A borrowing BlackRock fund may not borrow through the Interfund Lending Program or from any other source more than 33 1/3% of its total assets (or any lower threshold provided for by the fund’s investment restrictions). If a borrowing BlackRock fund’s total outstanding borrowings exceed 10% of its total assets, each of its outstanding interfund loans will be subject to collateralization of at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. All interfund loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the highest current overnight repurchase agreement rate available to a lending fund and the bank loan rate, as calculated according to a formula established by the Board.
During the period ended December 31, 2022, the Funds did not participate in the Interfund Lending Program.
Directors and Officers: Certain directors and/or officers of the Trust and the Corporation are directors and/or officers of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Funds reimburse the Manager for a portion of the compensation paid to the Trust’s and the Corporation’s Chief Compliance Officer, which is included in Directors and Officer in the Statements of Operations.
Other Transactions: The Funds may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is due solely to having a common investment adviser, common officers, or common directors. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the purchase and sale transactions and any net realized gains (losses) with affiliated funds in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act were as follows:

It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no U.S. federal income tax provision is required.
Each Fund files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on each Fund’s U.S. federal tax returns generally remains open for a period of three years after they are filed. The statutes of limitations on each Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Funds as of December 31, 2022, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Funds’ financial statements.
As of June 30, 2022, the Funds had non-expiring capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains as follows:

The Trust and the Corporation, on behalf of the Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Manager and its affiliates (“Participating Funds”), are a party to a 364-day, $2.50 billion credit agreement with a group of lenders. Under this agreement, the Funds may borrow to fund shareholder redemptions. Excluding commitments designated for certain individual funds, the Participating Funds, including the Funds, can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $1.75 billion at any time outstanding, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. The credit agreement has the following terms: a fee of 0.10% per annum on unused commitment amounts and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) Overnight Bank Funding Rate (“OBFR”) (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) on the date the loan is made plus 0.80% per annum, (b) the Fed Funds rate (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) in effect from time to time plus 0.80% per annum on amounts borrowed or (c) the sum of (x) Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (but, in any event, not less than 0.00%) on the date the loan is made plus 0.10% and (y) 0.80% per annum. The agreement expires in April 2023 unless extended or renewed. These fees were allocated among such funds based upon portions of the aggregate commitment available to them and relative net assets of Participating Funds. During the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Funds did not borrow under the credit agreement.
In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject each Fund to various risks, including among others, fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations. The value of securities or other instruments may also be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social instability; (iii) regulation, taxation or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate and price fluctuations. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Funds and their investments. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of the risks to which each Fund is subject.
A Fund structures and “sponsors” the TOB Trusts in which it holds TOB Residuals and has certain duties and responsibilities, which may give rise to certain additional risks including, but not limited to, compliance, securities law and operational risks.
As short-term interest rates rise, the Funds’ investments in the TOB Trusts may adversely affect the Funds’ net investment income and dividends to shareholders. Also, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB Trust may adversely affect the Funds’ NAVs per share.
The SEC and various federal banking and housing agencies have adopted credit risk retention rules for securitizations (the “Risk Retention Rules”). The Risk Retention Rules would require the sponsor of a TOB Trust to retain at least 5% of the credit risk of the underlying assets supporting the TOB Trust’s municipal bonds. The Risk Retention Rules may adversely affect the Funds’ ability to engage in TOB Trust transactions or increase the costs of such transactions in certain circumstances.

TOB Trusts constitute an important component of the municipal bond market. Any modifications or changes to rules governing TOB Trusts may adversely impact the municipal market and the Funds, including through reduced demand for and liquidity of municipal bonds and increased financing costs for municipal issuers. The ultimate impact of any potential modifications on the TOB Trust market and the overall municipal market is not yet certain.
Market Risk: Each Fund may be exposed to prepayment risk, which is the risk that borrowers may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled during periods of declining interest rates, which would force each Fund to reinvest in lower yielding securities. Each Fund may also be exposed to reinvestment risk, which is the risk that income from each Fund’s portfolio will decline if each Fund invests the proceeds from matured, traded or called fixed-income securities at market interest rates that are below each Fund portfolio’s current earnings rate.
Municipal securities are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, or the bankruptcy of the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer’s ability to make payments of principal and/or interest or otherwise affect the value of such securities. Municipal securities can be significantly affected by political or economic changes, including changes made in the law after issuance of the securities, as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to, taxation, legislative changes or the rights of municipal security holders, including in connection with an issuer insolvency. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the tax benefits supporting the project or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets. Municipal securities may be less liquid than taxable bonds, and there may be less publicly available information on the financial condition of municipal security issuers than for issuers of other securities.
Infectious Illness Risk: An outbreak of an infectious illness, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may adversely impact the economies of many nations and the global economy, and may impact individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot be foreseen. An infectious illness outbreak may result in, among other things, closed international borders, prolonged quarantines, supply chain disruptions, market volatility or disruptions and other significant economic, social and political impacts.
Valuation Risk: The price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any particular portfolio investment may differ from a Fund’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair valuation technique or a price provided by an independent pricing service. Changes to significant unobservable inputs and assumptions (i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit) due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore a Fund’s results of operations. As a result, the price received upon the sale of an investment may be less than the value ascribed by a Fund, and a Fund could realize a greater than expected loss or lesser than expected gain upon the sale of the investment. A Fund’s ability to value its investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third-party service providers.
Counterparty Credit Risk: The Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments related to unsettled or open transactions, including making timely interest and/or principal payments or otherwise honoring its obligations. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that the Manager believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is approximately their value recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.
A derivative contract may suffer a mark-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
With exchange-traded futures, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Funds since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, a Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency). Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange-traded futures with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Funds.
Concentration Risk: A diversified portfolio, where this is appropriate and consistent with a fund’s objectives, minimizes the risk that a price change of a particular investment will have a material impact on the NAV of a fund. The investment concentrations within each Fund’s portfolio are disclosed in its Schedule of Investments.
Certain Funds invest a significant amount of their assets in issuers located in a single state or limited number of states. When a Fund concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, regulatory, political or social conditions affecting that state or group of states could have a significant impact on the fund and could affect the income from, or the value or liquidity of, the fund’s portfolio. Investment percentages in specific states or U.S. territories are presented in the Schedules of Investments.
Certain Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in securities within a single or limited number of market sectors. When a fund concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, regulatory, political and social conditions affecting such sectors may have a significant impact on the Fund and could affect the income from, or the value or liquidity of, the Fund’s portfolio. Investment percentages in specific sectors are presented in the Schedules of Investments.
Certain Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in high yield securities. High yield securities that are rated below investment-grade (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) or are unrated may be deemed speculative, involve greater levels of risk than higher-rated securities of similar maturity and are more likely to default. High yield securities may be issued by less creditworthy issuers, and issuers of high yield securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations. High yield securities are subject to extreme price fluctuations, may be less liquid than higher rated fixed-income securities, even under normal economic conditions, and frequently have redemption features.

Certain Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in fixed-income securities and/or use derivatives tied to the fixed-income markets. Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of such investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. The Funds may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the recent period of historically low interest rates. The Federal Reserve has recently begun to raise the federal funds rate as part of its efforts to address inflation. There is a risk that interest rates will continue to rise, which will likely drive down the prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities, and could negatively impact the Funds’ performance.
Significant Shareholder Redemption Risk: Certain shareholders may own or manage a substantial amount of fund shares and/or hold their fund investments for a limited period of time. Large redemptions of fund shares by these shareholders may force a fund to sell portfolio securities, which may negatively impact the fund’s NAV, increase the fund’s brokerage costs, and/or accelerate the realization of taxable income/gains and cause the fund to make additional taxable distributions to shareholders.
LIBOR Transition Risk: The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced a phase out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Although many LIBOR rates ceased to be published or no longer are representative of the underlying market they seek to measure after December 31, 2021, a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates will continue to be published through June 2023 in order to assist with the transition. The Funds may be exposed to financial instruments tied to LIBOR to determine payment obligations, financing terms, hedging strategies or investment value. The transition process away from LIBOR might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for, and reduce the effectiveness of new hedges placed against instruments whose terms currently include LIBOR. The ultimate effect of the LIBOR transition process on the Funds is uncertain.

Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program
In compliance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”), BlackRock Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (the “Corporation”) and BlackRock Multi-State Municipal Series Trust (the “Trust”) have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) for BlackRock High Yield Municipal Fund, BlackRock National Municipal Fund, BlackRock Short-Term Municipal Fund and BlackRock New York Municipal Opportunities Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of the Corporation or the Trust, which is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk.
The Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), on behalf of the Funds, met on November 10-11, 2022 (the “Meeting”) to review the Program. The Board previously appointed BlackRock Advisors, LLC, the investment adviser to each Fund, as the program administrator for each Fund’s Program. BlackRock also previously delegated oversight of the Program to the 40 Act Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”). At the Meeting, the Committee, on behalf of BlackRock, provided the Board with a report that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including the management of each Fund’s Highly Liquid Investment Minimum (“HLIM”) where applicable, and any material changes to the Program (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022 (the “Program Reporting Period”).
The Report described the Program’s liquidity classification methodology for categorizing each Fund’s investments (including derivative transactions) into one of four liquidity buckets. It also referenced the methodology used by BlackRock to establish each Fund’s HLIM and noted that the Committee reviews and ratifies the HLIM assigned to each Fund no less frequently than annually. The Report also discussed notable events affecting liquidity over the Program Reporting Period, including the imposition of capital controls in certain countries.
The Report noted that the Program complied with the key factors for consideration under the Liquidity Rule for assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Fund’s liquidity risk, as follows:
| a) | The Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions. During the Program Reporting Period, the Committee reviewed whether each Fund’s strategy is appropriate for an open-end fund structure with a focus on funds with more significant and consistent holdings of less liquid and illiquid assets. The Committee also factored a fund’s concentration in an issuer into the liquidity classification methodology by taking issuer position sizes into account. Where a fund participated in borrowings for investment purposes (such as tender option bonds or reverse repurchase agreements), such borrowings were factored into the Program’s calculation of a fund’s liquidity bucketing. A fund’s derivative exposure was also considered in such calculation. |
| b) | Short-term and long-term cash flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions. During the Program Reporting Period, the Committee reviewed historical redemption activity and used this information as a component to establish each Fund’s reasonably anticipated trading size utilized for liquidity classifications. Each Fund has adopted an in-kind redemption policy which may be utilized to meet larger redemption requests. The Committee may also take into consideration a fund’s shareholder ownership concentration (which, depending on product type and distribution channel, may or may not be available), a fund’s distribution channels, and the degree of certainty associated with a fund’s short-term and long-term cash flow projections. |
| c) | Holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements. The Committee considered the terms of the credit facility committed to each Fund, the financial health of the institution providing the facility and the fact that the credit facility is shared among multiple funds (including that a portion of the aggregate commitment amount is specifically designated for BlackRock Floating Rate Income Portfolio, a series of BlackRock Funds V, and BlackRock Floating Rate Loan ETF, a series of BlackRock ETF Trust II). The Committee also considered other types of borrowing available to the Funds, such as the ability to use reverse repurchase agreements and interfund lending, as applicable. |
There were no material changes to the Program during the Program Reporting Period other than the enhancement of certain model components in the Program’s classification methodology. The Report provided to the Board stated that the Committee concluded that based on the operation of the functions, as described in the Report, the Program is operating as intended and is effective in implementing the requirements of the Liquidity Rule.

Additional Information
Dividend Policy
Each Fund’s dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of its net investment income to its shareholders on a monthly basis. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of distributions, the Funds may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in any particular month and may at times in any particular month pay out such accumulated but undistributed income in addition to net investment income earned in that month. As a result, the distributions paid by the Funds for any particular month may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Funds during such month. The Funds’ current accumulated but undistributed net investment income, if any, is disclosed as accumulated earnings (loss) in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, which comprises part of the financial information included in this report.
General Information
Quarterly performance, semi-annual and annual reports, current net asset value and other information regarding the Funds may be found on BlackRock’s website, which can be accessed at blackrock.com.

Householding
The Funds will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, annual and semi-annual reports, Rule 30e-3 notices and proxy statements, to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly called “householding” and is intended to reduce expenses and eliminate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please call the Funds at (800) 441-7762.

The Funds file their complete schedules of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to their reports on Form N-PORT.

Additionally, each Fund makes its portfolio holdings for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year available at blackrock.com/fundreports.
