(a)

Each Trust estimates that it has distributed more than its net income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may

occur, for example, when some or all of the shareholder’s investment in a Trust is returned to the shareholder. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect a Trust’s investment

performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” When distributions exceed total return performance, the difference will reduce a Trust’s net asset value per share.

Section 19(a) notices for the Trusts, as applicable, are available on the BlackRock website at blackrock.com.

Section 19(b) Disclosure

Each Trust, acting pursuant to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) exemptive order and with the approval of each Trust’s Board of Trustees or Board of Directors, as applicable (the “Board”), has adopted a managed distribution plan, consistent with its investment objectives and policies, to support a level distribution of income, capital gains and/or return of capital (the “Plan”). In accordance with the Plans, the Trusts currently distribute the following fixed amounts per share on a monthly basis:

Trust Name	Amount Per Common Share
BGR	$ 0.097300
BDJ	0.061900
BOE	0.082700
BGY	0.042600
CII	0.141000
BMEZ	0.110000
BME	0.262100
BCX	0.069700
BSTZ	0.162500
BST	0.250000
BTX	0.052500
BUI	0.136000

The fixed amounts distributed per share are subject to change at the discretion of each Trust’s Board. Under its Plan, each Trust will distribute all available net income to its shareholders as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If sufficient income (inclusive of net income and short-term capital gains) is not earned on a monthly basis, the Trusts will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital to shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution. Each monthly distribution to shareholders is expected to be at the fixed amount established by the Board; however, each Trust may make additional distributions from time to time, including additional capital gain distributions at the end of the taxable year, if required to meet requirements imposed by the Code and/or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about a Trust’s investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of the Plan. Each Trust’s total return performance is presented in its financial highlights table.

Option Over-Writing Strategy

Overview

In general, the goal of each of BDJ, BOE, BGY and CII (the "Trust") is to provide total return through a combination of current income and realized and unrealized gains (capital appreciation). The Trusts seek to pursue these goals primarily by investing in a portfolio of equity securities and also by employing a strategy of writing (selling) call and put options in an effort to generate current gains from option premiums and to enhance each Trust’s risk-adjusted return. Each Trust’s objectives cannot be achieved in all market conditions.

Each Trust primarily writes single stock covered call options and may also from time to time write single stock put options. When writing (selling) a covered call option, a Trust holds an underlying equity security and enters into an option transaction which allows the counterparty to purchase the equity security at an agreed-upon price (“strike price”) within an agreed-upon time period. The Trust receives cash premiums from the counterparties upon writing (selling) the option, which along with net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are generally available to support current or future distributions paid by the Trust. During the option term, the counterparty may elect to exercise the option if the market value of the equity security rises above the strike price, and the Trust is obligated to sell the equity security to the counterparty at the strike price, realizing a gain or loss. Premiums received increase gains or reduce losses realized on the sale of the equity security. If the option remains unexercised upon its expiration, the Trust realizes gains equal to the premiums received. Alternatively, an option may be closed out by an offsetting purchase or sale of an option prior to expiration. The Trust realizes a capital gain from a closing purchase or sale transaction if the premium paid is less than the premium received from writing the option. The Trust realizes a capital loss from a closing purchase or sale transaction if the premium received is less than the premium paid to purchase the option.

Writing covered call options entails certain risks, which include, but are not limited to, the following: an increase in the value of the underlying equity security above the strike price can result in the exercise of a written option (sale by a Trust to the counterparty) when the Trust might not otherwise have sold the security; exercise of the option by the counterparty may result in a sale below the current market value and a gain or loss being realized by the Trust; and limiting the potential appreciation that could be realized on the underlying equity security to the extent of the strike price of the option. The premium that a Trust receives from writing a covered call option may not be sufficient to offset the potential appreciation on the underlying equity security above the strike price of the option that could have otherwise been realized by the Trust. As such, an option over-writing strategy may outperform the general equity market in flat or falling markets but underperform in rising markets.

Option Over-Writing Strategy Illustration

To illustrate these concepts, assume the following: (1) a common stock purchased at and currently trading at $37.15 per share; (2) a three-month call option is written by a Trust with a strike price of $40 (i.e., 7.7% higher than the current market price); and (3) the Trust receives $2.45, or 6.6% of the common stock’s value, as a premium. If the stock price remains unchanged, the option expires and there would be a 6.6% return for the three-month period. If the stock were to decline in price by 6.6% (i.e., decline to $34.70 per share), the option strategy would “break-even” from an economic perspective resulting in neither a gain nor a loss. If the stock were to climb to a price of $40 or above, the option would be exercised and the stock would return 7.7% coupled with the option premium received of 6.6% for a total return of 14.3%. Under this scenario, the Trust loses the benefit of any appreciation of the stock above $40, and thus is limited to a 14.3% total return. The premium from writing the call option serves to offset some of the unrealized loss on the stock in the event that the price of the stock declines, but if the stock were to decline more than 6.6% under this scenario, the Trust’s downside protection is eliminated and the stock could eventually become worthless.

Each Trust intends to write covered call and other options to varying degrees depending upon market conditions. Please refer to each Trust’s Schedule of Investments and the Notes to Financial Statements for details of written options.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Trusts 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 Trusts 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 Trusts’ 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 Trust can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to shareholders. The Trusts’ investments in these instruments, if any, are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

The following discussion relates to the Trust’s absolute performance based on NAV:

What factors influenced performance?

At the sub-sector level, positions in oil services, exploration & production, distribution and refining & marketing companies contributed to performance.

An overweight position in the refining company Valero Energy Corp. contributed to relative performance, with strength in refining margins underpinning better-than-expected earnings. An overweight in the distribution company Targa Resources Corp. also helped results. The stock was boosted by demand growth and its lower sensitivity to oil price movements. Targa shares further benefited from more constructive guidance from management, which supported confidence in the company’s growth outlook. Overweights in the internationally-focused oilfield services companies Subsea 7 SA and TechnipFMC PLC, both of which benefited from resilient activity levels and favorable pricing trends, were additional contributors of note.

An overweight in the integrated oil company Shell PLC hurt relative performance due to concerns about lower upstream production and weaker liquid natural gas volumes. Zero weightings in the refining & marketing company Philips 66 and the integrated oil producer Cenovus Energy, Inc. detracted, as well.

The following discussion relates to the Trust’s relative performance based on NAV:

What factors influenced performance?

The largest contributor to the Trust’s relative performance was positioning within the financials sector, driven by positive security selection along with an overweight to the capital markets industry. Information technology positioning also proved additive driven by security selection and investment decisions within the technology hardware, storage, and peripherals industry. Additionally, security selection in health care supported relative performance, with an overweight position in health care providers and services acting as a tailwind.

The largest detractor from relative performance was security selection in the consumer staples sector, most notably in the consumer staples distribution and retail industry. Investment decisions in energy also acted as a headwind, particularly within the oil, gas, and consumable fuels industry. Lastly, in communication services security selection and underweight position in interactive media & services weighed on relative return.

2026 BlackRock Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders

Trust Summary as of June 30, 2026(continued)

BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust (BDJ)

The Trust used an options overlay strategy in which calls were written on a portion of the portfolio’s holdings. The options overlay strategy contributed positively to relative performance. The Trust’s practice of maintaining a specified level of monthly distributions to shareholders did not have a material impact on the Trust’s investment strategy. Based on current estimates, distributions pursuant to the managed distribution policy during the period did not result in a return of capital.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

As a result of a combination of portfolio trading activity and market price movements, the Trust’s allocations to the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors increased over the period. Conversely, the Trust’s allocations to the financials and communication services sectors decreased.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

At period end, the Trust’s largest absolute allocations were in information technology, health care and financials. Relative to the benchmark, the Trust’s most significant overweight exposures were in consumer discretionary, health care and materials, while the most significant underweights were to information technology, financials and communication services.

The Trust had in place an option overwriting program under which 44.1% of the underlying equities were overwritten with call options on individual stocks. These call options were typically written at prices above the prevailing market prices (estimated to be 5.8% out of the money).

The following discussion relates to the Trust’s relative performance based on NAV:

What factors influenced performance?

In sector terms, stock selection in communication services, consumer staples and materials led positive contributions to performance over the period.

With respect to individual holdings, leading contributors included U.S. semiconductor equipment supplier Applied Materials, Inc., as investor enthusiasm around the semiconductor space, strong earnings, an upgraded growth outlook and robust order visibility supported the stock. Continued confidence in AI-driven chip demand reinforced expectations for sustained growth across advanced semiconductor manufacturing. MediaTek, Inc., the Taiwanese fabless semiconductor company, outperformed driven by strong market enthusiasm around its positioning in AI infrastructure and custom application-specific integrated circuits, including its role in designing Google’s tensor processing units (“TPUs”) and the associated revenue opportunity. The position was trimmed to manage sizing, given the smartphone market may face headwinds from higher

memory prices and the contribution from TPU-related revenue remains in the early stages with execution risk. The outlook for MediaTek remains constructive given strong momentum, positive regional team feedback, and the company’s expanding role in the AI infrastructure buildout. Shares of contract chip manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. were boosted by continued strong operational and financial performance. The company raised capital expenditure guidance, reinforcing confidence in long-term demand visibility. Sentiment was further supported by the company’s Taiwan Technology Symposium in mid-May, where management highlighted surging demand for AI-related applications, as well as by news that the company’s Arizona operations had reached profitability ahead of expectations.

On the downside, stock selection in industrials and consumer discretionary detracted the most, while overweights to consumer discretionary and energy also weighed on performance.

In terms of individual detractors, sentiment around Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. has suffered as the Chinese ecommerce company has seen its results pressured by ongoing elevated competition in its on-demand, rapid delivery “quick commerce” segment. In addition, the shares reflected continued weakness in Chinese equities amid a soft domestic economy as well as broader weakness across Chinese hyperscalers, as the group sold off alongside their U.S. peers on market concerns over elevated AI-related capital expenditures. The Trust has maintained the position in Alibaba on the view that the market may be underappreciating Alibaba’s AI cost advantages and future growth potential. A lack of exposure to Micron Technology, Inc., the U.S. memory and storage semiconductor company, detracted as the stock rose sharply on strong demand for memory, an area seen as a key bottleneck in the AI infrastructure buildout, along with positive broker sentiment and upward earnings revisions. The Trust has overweight exposure to the memory segment, reflecting a deliberate positioning towards a critical bottleneck in AI infrastructure, with a preference for market leaders in Asia which also offer the portfolio stronger regional diversification. Shares of U.S. technology services and consulting company Accenture plc declined on market concerns around the potential for AI to displace elements of its business model. In particular, the announcement of Anthropic’s agentic coworker assistant led the market to reassess the value provided by software and specialized data providers. In addition, macro uncertainty and a slower-than-expected cyclical recovery weighed on the stock. While Accenture posted strong results that exceeded expectations on both revenue and earnings, softer bookings in the managed services segment tempered the market’s reaction, despite the company signaling confidence in demand recovery by raising full-year guidance.

The Trust utilized an options overlay strategy in which calls are written on a portion of the portfolio’s holdings. The Trust’s options overlay strategy detracted from relative performance for the period. The Trust’s practice of maintaining a speciﬁed level of monthly distributions to shareholders did not have a material impact on the Trust’s investment strategy. Based on current estimates, distributions pursuant to the managed distribution policy during the period did not result in a return of capital.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

During the period, the Trust added exposure to the information technology, materials and consumer discretionary sectors, and reduced exposure to industrials, healthcare and financials.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

At the end of the period, the Trust’s largest sector overweights were in consumer discretionary, financials and energy, while the largest underweights were in information technology, healthcare and real estate. Regionally, the Trust was overweight emerging markets and underweight the United States.

As of June 30, 2026, the Trust had in place an option overwriting program whereby 39.5% of the underlying equities were overwritten with call options on individual stocks. These call options were typically written at prices above the prevailing market prices (estimated to be 5.4% out of the money) and for maturities averaging 42 days.

The following discussion relates to the Trust’s relative performance based on NAV:

What factors influenced performance?

In sector terms, stock selection in information technology led positive contributions to performance over the period. Underweights to and stock selection within both materials and consumer staples also contributed.

With respect to individual holdings, leading contributors included SK Hynix, Inc., as the South Korean memory semiconductor company has benefited from strong demand for AI-related memory and favorable supply-demand dynamics. The company benefited from robust sentiment around AI data center buildouts, with persistent shortages in server and high-bandwidth memory supporting pricing power and reinforcing the memory upcycle narrative. Strong results posted by SK Hynix during the period helped validate the earnings recovery, while memory peer Micron Technology’s results further reinforced the tight supply backdrop and multi-year demand visibility for memory as a critical bottleneck in AI infrastructure. Investor optimism was also supported by discussions around a potential U.S. ADR listing. MediaTek, Inc., the Taiwanese fabless semiconductor

company, outperformed driven by strong market enthusiasm around its positioning in AI infrastructure and custom application-specific integrated circuits, including its role in designing Google’s tensor processing units (“TPUs”) and the associated revenue opportunity. The position was trimmed to manage sizing, given the smartphone market may face headwinds from higher memory prices and the contribution from TPU-related revenue remains in the early stages with execution risk. The outlook for MediaTek remains constructive given strong momentum, positive regional team feedback, and the company’s expanding role in the AI infrastructure buildout. Shares of ASM International N.V, the European semiconductor equipment manufacturer, were supported by strong demand and positive sentiment across the semiconductor equipment space. The company reported strong results with guidance pointing to continued acceleration, reinforcing confidence in its positioning within the current capital expenditure cycle. The company is well positioned to benefit as growing chip complexity drives demand for its advanced manufacturing solutions.

On the downside, overweights to and stock selection within both the industrials and consumer discretionary sectors detracted over the period, along with stock selection in financials.

In terms of individual detractors, sentiment around Japanese electronics company Sony Group Corp. was negatively impacted by rising memory input costs and concerns around the impact of AI-driven disintermediation on the durability of its intellectual property within the gaming segment. Broader Japanese equity market weakness driven by rising energy prices linked to the Middle East conflict further weighed on the stock. Sony remains well positioned with its strong portfolio of gaming intellectual property and continued momentum across its gaming, music and imaging & sensors businesses. Tencent Holdings Ltd., the Chinese technology company, reported slightly softer-than-expected results with moderating revenue growth, weighing on the stock at a time when Chinese technology stocks broadly were already under pressure. Heavy ongoing investment in new AI products also weighed on near-term profitability, even as the underlying core business continued to grow. The outlook for Tencent remains constructive as the company is well positioned for AI monetization in China, supported by its large user base, strong ecosystem and ability to integrate AI across its core platforms. Shares of EssilorLuxottica SA, the French eyewear company, saw a reversal of prior gains amid intensifying concerns around competition in smart glasses, including Google’s partnership with Warby Parker and Apple’s pending entry. Although the company’s first quarter results reflected healthy top-line growth supported by AI glasses and continued strength in myopia management, the stock fell sharply following their release as investors questioned the durability of that growth. The company’s limited earnings growth in recent years is a concern that bears monitoring.

The Trust’s practice of maintaining a specified level of monthly distributions did not have a material impact on the Trust’s investment strategy. Based on current estimates, distributions pursuant to the managed distribution policy during the period did not result in a return of capital.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

During the period, the Trust moved to overweight the industrials and energy sectors and shifted to an underweight in materials while increasing its information technology underweight. The Trust trimmed its overweight to financials and consumer discretionary while remaining overweight in both.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

At the end of the period, the Trust’s largest sector overweights were to the communication services, industrials and consumer discretionary sectors. Regionally, the majority of the portfolio was listed in Europe, with significant exposure in Europe ex U.K.

As of June 30, 2026, the Trust had in place an option overwriting program whereby 37.5% of the underlying equities were overwritten with call options on individual stocks. These call options were typically written at prices above the prevailing market prices (estimated to be 4.0% out of the money) and for maturities averaging 45.6 days.

The following discussion relates to the Trust’s relative performance based on NAV:

What factors influenced performance?

The largest contributor to the Trust’s relative performance was security selection in the information technology sector, specifically within the semiconductors & semiconductors equipment industry. Stock selection in industrials also had a positive impact on relative performance, notably within the aerospace & defense industry. Finally, security selection in the consumer discretionary and materials sectors benefited relative return as well.

The largest detractor from relative performance was security selection in the financials sector, specifically within the insurance industry. This was followed by selection in communication services, notably within the diversified telecommunication services industry. Lastly, stock selection in the energy and healthcare sectors weighed on relative performance.

What factors influenced performance?

At the industry level, an underweight in medical devices & supplies contributed to relative performance. However, selection in the category detracted.

Among individual holdings, an out-of-benchmark position in the biotechnology firm Revolution Medicines, Inc. was a top contributor to relative performance. The stock rallied on the strength of positive late-stage results for the firm’s experimental pancreatic cancer treatment, which boosted investor confidence in its potential approval and future commercial opportunity. A zero weighting in the life sciences tools & service company Samsung Biologics Co., Ltd. also contributed, as labor unrest raised concerns about potential disruptions to the firm’s operations. The lack of a position in ABL Bio, Inc. was a further contributor. The biotechnology company’s stock lost ground after a major partner slowed the development of a key experimental treatment.

Trust Summary as of June 30, 2026(continued)

BlackRock Health Sciences Term Trust (BMEZ)

A position in the private biotechnology company Abcuro detracted from relative performance. The company’s value was marked down following disappointing results from a late-stage muscle disease study. An underweight in Guardant Health, Inc. was an additional detractor of note. The stock rallied due to strong growth across its oncology and Shield screening businesses, together with increased revenue guidance. Not holding a position in Twist Bioscience Corp. detracted, as well. The company’s shares traded higher behind record revenues, improving profitability, and a higher full-year sales outlook.

The following discussion relates to the Trust’s relative performance based on NAV:

What factors influenced performance?

At the industry level, an underweight in medical devices & supplies contributed to relative performance.

At the individual security level, a zero weighting in the animal health company Zoetis, Inc. made a meaningful contribution to relative performance. The company’s first-quarter revenue and adjusted earnings missed expectations, prompting management to lower its full-year 2026 revenue and earnings guidance. An underweight position in the healthcare equipment company Medtronic, Inc. also contributed. The stock struggled as investors remained concerned that competitive pressure and continued investment across key medical-device franchises could limit profit margins and earnings growth despite solid revenue trends. An out-of-benchmark position in Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. was a further contributor. The stock performed well as strong results reinforced investor confidence in the company’s transition toward higher-growth innovative medicines, supported by disciplined execution and continued momentum in its key branded products.

An underweight position in Pfizer, Inc.—which reported better-than-expected first-quarter results, strong growth across recently launched and acquired products, and improving pipeline momentum—was the largest detractor. An overweight position in Boston Scientific Corp. also detracted as the company faced headwinds due to a

disappointing initial 2026 outlook. The company reduced guidance for earnings and sales growth, reflecting softer trends across key franchises.

The following discussion relates to the Trust’s absolute performance based on NAV:

What factors influenced performance?

The Trust’s overweight positions in the oil services and distribution sub-sectors in energy contributed to performance, as did an underweight in the agriculture sector.

A zero weighting in the Indian refining conglomerate Reliance Industries Ltd., which fell sharply amid uncertainty about U.S. tariffs and weakness in its consumer businesses, was a key contributor to relative performance. The lack of a position in the Swedish forestry company Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget also helped results, as the stock lagged due to weaker prices for pulp and wood products. Overweights in the internationally-focused oilfield services companies Subsea 7 SA and TechnipFMC PLC, both of which benefited from resilient activity levels and favorable pricing trends, were additional contributors of note.

A zero weighting in the diversified miner BHP Group Ltd. hurt relative performance, as resilient first-quarter earnings and the company’s copper-linked growth profile supported its shares. An underweight in the copper producer Freeport McMoRan Inc. detracted, as well. Overweight positions in Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. and Barrick Mining Corp. were additional detractors. Although the companies continued to exhibit strong fundamentals, their stocks were pressured by a downturn in gold and silver prices.

Trust Summary

Trust Summary as of June 30, 2026(continued)

BlackRock Science and Technology Term Trust (BSTZ)

An out-of-benchmark position in Micron Technology Corp. was among the largest contributors to relative performance. The stock benefited from the accelerating AI memory cycle, with record earnings and revenues. An out-of-benchmark private position in SambaNova also contributed. The value of the specialized AI compute hardware company was marked higher as investor interest in alternatives to incumbent GPU platforms accelerated. An out-of-benchmark private position in Anthropic was an additional contributor. The AI safety and research company was marked higher, supported by rapid revenue growth across its Claude model family, expanding enterprise adoption, and new primary funding rounds that materially increased the company’s valuation.

An underweight in SanDisk Corp. was the largest detractor from relative performance. The flash-memory storage company’s stock surged during the first half of 2026, as a supply-and-demand imbalance led to rising memory prices and fueled gains for the related stocks. An overweight in the private company Databricks also detracted. The unified data and AI platform company’s marked value was largely stable as investors concentrated on near-term public beneficiaries of the AI capex cycle over long-duration private data platform holdings. As a result, the position lagged in relation to the strong showing for the index. An overweight in NVIDIA Corp. was an additional detractor amid the rally in stocks benefiting from the constrained parts of the AI supply chain, such as memory.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

The Trust meaningfully increased its allocation to the information technology sector, with a focus on semiconductor, hardware, and software stocks tied to the AI infrastructure buildout. At the same time, it reduced its weightings in the financials and consumer discretionary sectors, as well as in Europe. The shifts reflected a more concentrated focus on beneficiaries of accelerating AI compute and demand for memory and the enabling technologies, where surging workloads and constrained capacity continued to create opportunities in select public and private holdings.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

The Trust held 43% of net asset value in the semiconductor industry, 23% in software, 22% in hardware, 2% in internet, and 4% in IT services. These industry weightings were the result of bottom-up stock selection.

Trust Summary

Trust Summary as of June 30, 2026(continued)

BlackRock Science and Technology Trust (BST)

At the individual security level, an out-of-benchmark position in Anthropic was a key contributor following the company’s $65 billion Series H fundraise at a $965 billion valuation, supported by continued enterprise adoption of Claude, rising revenues, expanded compute capacity, and strategic infrastructure partnerships with major cloud and memory suppliers. An underweight in Microsoft Corp., which lagged higher-beta AI infrastructure beneficiaries, also helped results. In addition, investors were focused on the near-term cost of the company’s AI investments. An overweight in Lam Research Corp. contributed due to stronger expectations for AI-related demand for wafer fabrication equipment, together with better-than-expected earnings and improved guidance.

An underweight in Micron Technology Corp. was a notable detractor. The stock benefited from the accelerating AI memory cycle, with record earnings and revenues. An underweight in Samsung Technology Corp., which rallied on expectations for rising demand stemming from the growth of AI, also detracted. An underweight in Applied Materials, Inc. was an additional detractor of note.

What factors influenced performance?

The Trust’s out-of-benchmark position the American space, telecommunications, and artificial intelligence company Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) was a top contributor to performance. The Trust participated in the company’s initial public offering, and the stock finished the period well above the issue price. An out-of-benchmark holding in the power cable supplier Prysmian SpA also contributed, as increased demand for medium- and high-voltage power cables from data center and power grid investment boosted the company’s earnings outlook. An out-of-benchmark position in the solar technology company Nextpower, Inc., which reported better-than-expected earnings and boosted its guidance, was an additional contributor of note.

Trust Summary

Trust Summary as of June 30, 2026(continued)

A zero weighting in the U.S. railroad operator CSX Corp. detracted from performance. The stock was supported by stronger-than-expected earnings and higher freight volumes. The lack of a position in the satellite communications company Viasat, Inc., which benefited from defense contract wins and progress on its ViaSat-3 satellite program, was an additional detractor. An out-of-benchmark holding in the U.S. solar panel manufacturer First Solar, Inc. detracted, as well.

The Trust’s practice of maintaining a specified level of monthly distributions to shareholders did not have a material impact on the Trust’s investment strategy. Based on current estimates, distributions pursuant to the managed distribution policy during the period did not result in a return of capital.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

The Trust’s new purchases included companies in the space and satellite, nuclear energy, battery technology, and European renewable power generation industries. The Trust exited positions in select North American energy infrastructure companies and a European integrated utility.

The Trust successfully completed a rights offering in April 2026, raising approximately $65 million. The offer was undersubscribed and the full amount of shares subscribed was allocated. BlackRock, not the Trust, covered all expenses of the offering and structured the offering to limit NAV dilution to $(0.10) or (0.36)% of NAV.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

At the end of the period, 53.0% of the portfolio was invested in the utilities sector, with 23.0% in industrials and 13.8% in energy. The remainder was invested in other infrastructure- and power-related sectors.

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 Trust 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:

Notes to Financial Statements

111

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

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. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend dates may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Trusts are informed of the ex-dividend dates. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax at various rates may be imposed on capital gains, dividends and interest. Upon notification from issuers, a portion of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized daily on an accrual basis. For convertible securities, premiums attributable to the debt instrument are amortized, but premiums attributable to the conversion feature are not amortized.

Certain Russian securities held by BCX declared dividends during the period. However, there is no assurance these dividends can be collected by the Fund due to restrictions imposed by the Russian government. As a result, the Fund has not recognized investment income associated with these Russian securities. Any future recognition of these dividend payments, or other dividends of Russian securities declared in prior periods subject to the same or similar restrictions imposed by Russia or other government agencies, could have a material accretive effect on the Fund’s net asset value per share.

Foreign Currency Translation: Each Trust’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Purchases and sales of investments are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the investments denominated in that currency will lose value; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value.

Each Trust does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of investments for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the effects of changes in exchange rates on investments are not segregated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those investments, but are included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments.

Foreign Taxes: The Trusts may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, capital gains on investments, or certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which each Trust invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by each Trust and are reflected in its Statements of Operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a reduction of income, foreign taxes on securities lending income are presented as a reduction of securities lending income, foreign taxes on stock dividends are presented as “Foreign taxes withheld”, and foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign taxes on foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of June 30, 2026, if any, are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Consistent with U.S. GAAP accrual requirements for uncertain tax positions, each Trust recognizes tax reclaims when the Fund determines that it is more likely than not that each Trust will sustain its position that it is due the reclaim.

The Trusts file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Trusts may record a reclaim receivable based on collectability, which includes factors such as the jurisdiction’s applicable laws, payment history and market convention. The Statements of Operations include tax reclaims recorded as well as professional and other fees, if any, associated with recovery of foreign withholding taxes.

Cash: The Trusts may maintain cash at their custodian, which at times may exceed United States federally insured limits. The Trusts may, at times, have outstanding cash disbursements that exceed deposited cash amounts at the custodian during the reporting period. The Trusts are obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses, where applicable. For financial reporting purposes, overdraft fees, if any, are included in interest expense in the Statements of Operations.

Collateralization: If required by an exchange or counterparty agreement, the Trusts 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 paid by the Trusts are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Subject to the Trusts’ managed distribution plan, the Trusts intend to make monthly cash distributions to shareholders, which may consist of net investment income, and net realized and unrealized gains on investments and/or return of capital.

The character of distributions is determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. The portion of distributions that exceeds a Trust’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which are measured on a tax basis, will constitute a non-taxable return of capital.

Net income and realized gains from investments held by the Cayman Subsidiaries are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. If a net loss is realized by the Cayman Subsidiaries in any taxable year, the loss will generally not be available to offset the Trusts’ ordinary income and/or capital gains for that year.

Deferred Compensation Plan: Under the Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) approved by each Trust’s Board, the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trusts, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), 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 Trustees. This has the same economic effect for the Independent Trustees as if the Independent Trustees had invested the deferred amounts directly in certain funds in the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex.

The Plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of each Trust, as applicable. Deferred compensation liabilities, if any, are included in the Trustees’ and Officer’s fees payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will remain as a liability of the Trusts 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 Trustees and Officer expense on the Statements of Operations. The Trustees 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 Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification. A Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against a Trust, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.

Other: Expenses directly related to a Trust are charged to that Trust. 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.

Segment Reporting: The Chief Financial Officer acts as the Trusts’ Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and is responsible for assessing performance and allocating resources with respect to each Trust. The CODM has concluded that each Trust operates as a single operating segment since each Trust has a single investment strategy as disclosed in its prospectus, against which the CODM assesses performance. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is presented within each Trust’ s financial statements.

INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Investment Valuation Policies: Each Trust’ s investments are valued at fair value (also referred to as “market value” within the financial statements) each day that the Trust 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 Trust’s Manager as the valuation designee for each Trust. Each Trust 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 Trust’s assets and liabilities:

•Equity investments (except ETF options, equity index options or those that are customized) 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 or, if a reported closing price is not available, the last traded price on the exchange or market on which the security or instrument is primarily traded at the time of valuation or last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price.

•Fixed-income investments and certain derivative instruments for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued using the last available bid price (including evaluated prices) 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 of securities in certain asset classes may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots, and the value ultimately realized when the securities are sold could differ from the prices used by a fund. 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.

•Investments in open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s NAV.

•Exchange-traded options (except ETF options, equity index options or those that are customized) are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices at the close of the options market in which the options trade. An exchange-traded option for which there is no mean price is valued at the last bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that the prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the option. Customized exchange-traded equity options, ETF options, equity index options and over-the-counter (“OTC”) options and options on swaps (“swaptions”) are valued by an independent pricing service using a mathematical model, which incorporates a number of market data factors, such as the trades and prices of the underlying instruments.

Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of trading on the NYSE. Each business day, the Trusts use current market factors supplied by independent pricing services to value certain foreign instruments (“Systematic Fair Value Price”). The Systematic Fair Value Price is designed to value such foreign securities at fair value as of the close of trading on the NYSE, which occurs after the close of the local markets.

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 Trust 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 as of the measurement date.

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:

(i) recent market transactions, including secondary market transactions, merger or acquisition activity and subsequent rounds of financing in the underlying investment or comparable issuers

(ii) recapitalizations and other transactions across the capital structure

(iii) market or relevant indices multiples of comparable issuers

(iv) future cash flows discounted to present and adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, and/or market risks

(v) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets

(vi) other risk factors, such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts and/or default rates

(vii) audited or unaudited financial statements, investor communications and Private Company financial or operational metrics

(viii) relevant market news and other public sources.

Investments in series of preferred stock issued by Private Companies are typically valued utilizing a market approach to determine 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 involves 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.

Private Companies are not subject to public company disclosure, timing, and reporting standards applicable to other investments held by a Trust. Certain information made available by a Private Company is as of a date that is earlier than the date a Trust is calculating its NAV. This factor may result in a difference between the value of the investment and the price a Trust could receive upon the sale of the investment.

Fair Value Hierarchy: Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments at the measurement date. 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 that each Trust has the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

•Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable and significant to the entire fair value measurement for the asset or liability (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 Private Companies 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.

SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

Preferred Stocks: Preferred stock has a preference over common stock in liquidation (and generally in receiving dividends as well), but is subordinated to the liabilities of the issuer in all respects. As a general rule, the market value of preferred stock with a fixed dividend rate and no conversion element varies inversely with interest rates and perceived credit risk, while the market price of convertible preferred stock generally also reflects some element of conversion value. Because preferred stock is junior to debt securities and other obligations of the issuer, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer will cause greater changes in the value of a preferred stock than in a more senior debt security with similar stated yield characteristics. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.

Warrants: Warrants entitle a fund to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock and are non-income producing. The purchase price and number of shares are subject to adjustment under certain conditions until the expiration date of the warrants, if any. If the price of the underlying stock does not rise above the strike price before the warrant expires, the warrant generally expires without any value and a fund will lose any amount it paid for the warrant. Thus, investments in warrants may involve more risk than investments in common stock. Warrants may trade in the same markets as their underlying stock; however, the price of the warrant does not necessarily move with the price of the underlying stock.

Commitments: Commitments are agreements to acquire an investment at a future date (subject to conditions) in connection with a potential public or non-public offering. Such agreements may obligate a fund to make future cash payments. As of June 30, 2026, BDJ had outstanding commitments of 7,271,280. These commitments are not included in the net assets of BDJ as of June 30, 2026.

Securities Lending: Certain Trusts may lend their securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Trusts collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by an approved bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. The initial collateral received by each Trust is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Trust and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Trust, or excess collateral is returned by the Trust, on the next business day. During the term of the loan, the Trusts are entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities, but do not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

As of period end, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. Government obligations. Cash collateral invested by the securities lending agent, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), if any, is disclosed in the Schedules of Investments. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold, re-invested or pledged by the Trust, except in the event of borrower default. The securities on loan, if any, are disclosed in the Trusts’ Schedules of Investments. The market value of any securities on loan and the value of related collateral, if any, are shown separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a component of investments at value – unaffiliated and collateral on securities loaned, respectively.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Trusts under Master Securities Lending Agreements (each, an “MSLA”), which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Trusts, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. When the value of the collateral is greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, the lender is left with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, absent an event of default, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Trusts can reinvest cash collateral received in connection with loaned securities. Upon an event of default, the parties’ obligations to return the securities or collateral to the other party are extinguished, and the parties can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities or the collateral received in connection with the loaned securities in order to satisfy the defaulting party’s net payment obligation for all transactions under the MSLA. The defaulting party remains liable for any deficiency.

As of period end, the following table is a summary of the Trusts’ securities on loan by counterparty which are subject to offset under an MSLA:

(a)	Collateral received, if any, in excess of the market value of securities on loan is not presented in this table. The total cash collateral received by each Trust is disclosed in the Trust’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
(b)	The market value of the loaned securities is determined as of June 30, 2026. Additional collateral is delivered to each Trust subsequent to period end in accordance with the MSLA. The net amount would be subject to the borrower default indemnity in the event of default by the counterparty.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, each Trust benefits from a borrower default indemnity provided by BIM. BIM’s indemnity allows for full replacement of the securities loaned to the extent the collateral received does not cover the value on the securities loaned in the event of borrower default. Each Trust could incur a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of the loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received. Such losses are borne entirely by each Trust.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Trusts engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Trusts 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 OTC.

Options: The Trusts may purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease their exposure to the risks of underlying instruments, including equity risk, interest rate risk and/or commodity price risk and/or, in the case of options written, to generate gains from options premiums.

A call option gives the purchaser (holder) of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller (writer) to sell (when the option is exercised) the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period.

Premiums paid on options purchased and premiums received on options written, as well as the daily fluctuation in market value, are included in investments at value – unaffiliated and options written at value, respectively, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When an instrument is purchased or sold through the exercise of an option, the premium is offset against the cost or proceeds of the underlying instrument. When an option expires, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statements of Operations to the extent of the premiums received or paid. When an option is closed or sold, a gain or loss is recorded in the Statements of Operations to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premiums received or paid. When the Trusts write a call option, such option is typically “covered,” meaning that they hold the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty. When the Trusts write a put option, cash is segregated in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation. These amounts, which are considered restricted, are included in cash pledged as collateral for options written in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

In purchasing and writing options, the Trusts bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that they may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Exercise of a written option could result in the Trusts purchasing or selling a security when they otherwise would not, or at a price different from the current market value.

Master Netting Arrangements: In order to define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help it mitigate its counterparty risk, a Trust may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Trust and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Trust may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

Collateral Requirements: For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Trusts and the counterparty.

2026 BlackRock Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Trusts and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Trusts, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty is subject to a certain minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of business of the Trusts. Any additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Trusts on the next business day. Typically, the counterparty is not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use cash and non-cash collateral it receives. A Trust generally agrees not to use non-cash collateral that it receives but may, absent default or certain other circumstances defined in the underlying ISDA Master Agreement, be permitted to use cash collateral received. In such cases, interest may be paid pursuant to the collateral arrangement with the counterparty. To the extent amounts due to the Trusts from the counterparty are not fully collateralized, each Trust bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. Likewise, to the extent the Trusts have delivered collateral to a counterparty and stand ready to perform under the terms of their agreement with such counterparty, each Trust bears the risk of loss from a counterparty in the amount of the value of the collateral in the event the counterparty fails to return such collateral. Based on the terms of agreements, collateral may not be required for all derivative contracts.

For financial reporting purposes, the Trusts do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Advisory: Each Trust entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Manager, the Trusts’ investment adviser and an indirect, majority-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”), to provide investment advisory and administrative services. The Manager is responsible for the management of each Trust’s portfolio and provides the personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Trust.

For such services, each Trust, except BCX, pays the Manager a monthly fee at the following annual rates:

Average weekly value of each Trust’s net assets:

	BGR	BDJ	BOE	BME
Investment advisory fees	1.00 %	0.80 %	1.00 %	1.00 %

Average daily value of each Trust’s net assets, plus the proceeds of any outstanding debt securities or borrowings for leverage:

	CII
Investment advisory fees	0.85 %

Average daily value of each Trust’s net assets:

	BGY	BUI
Investment advisory fees	1.00 %	1.00 %

Average daily value of each Trust’s managed assets:

	BMEZ	BSTZ	BST	BTX
Investment advisory fees	1.25 %	1.25 %	1.00 %	1.25 %

For such services, BCX pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate of 1.00% of the sum of the average daily value of the net assets of the Trust (excluding the value of the Trust’s interest in the BCX Taxable Subsidiary) and the average daily value of the net assets of its subsidiary, which fee is allocated pro rata between the Trust and the BCX Taxable Subsidiary based on the average daily value of their respective net assets (excluding, in the case of the Trust, the value of the Trust’s interest in the BCX Taxable Subsidiary). The BCX Taxable Subsidiary had no assets or activity during the period ended June 30, 2026.

For purposes of calculating these fees, “net assets” mean the total assets of BGR, BDJ, BOE, BGY, CII, BME, BCX and BUI minus the sum of its accrued liabilities.

For purposes of calculating these fees, “managed assets” are determined as total assets of BMEZ, BTX, BSTZ and BST (including any assets attributable to money borrowed for investment purposes) less the sum of its accrued liabilities (other than money borrowed for investment purposes).

The Manager provides investment management and other services to BDJ Taxable Subsidiary, BSTZ Taxable Subsidiary and BST Taxable Subsidiary. The Manager does not receive separate compensation from the BDJ Taxable Subsidiary, BSTZ Taxable Subsidiary or BST Taxable Subsidiary for providing investment management or administrative services. However, BDJ pays the Manager based on the Trust’s net assets, which includes the assets of the BDJ Taxable Subsidiary, and BSTZ and BST pay the Manager based on the Trust’s managed assets, which includes the assets of the BSTZ Taxable Subsidiary and BST Taxable Subsidiary, respectively.

With respect to BGR, BOE, BGY, BCX and BUI, the Manager entered into separate sub-advisory agreements with BlackRock International Limited (“BIL”), an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays BIL for services it provides for that portion of each Trust for which BIL acts as Sub-Adviser, a monthly fee that is equal to a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by each Trust to the Manager.

Distribution Fees: BST and BUI have each entered into Distribution Agreements with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”), an affiliate of the Manager, to provide for distribution of BST’s and BUI’s common shares on a reasonable best efforts basis through an equity shelf offering (a “Shelf Offering”) (the “Distribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, BRIL will receive commissions with respect to sales of common shares at a commission rate of 1.00% of the gross proceeds of the sale of BST’s and BUI’s common shares and a portion of such commission is re-allowed to broker-dealers engaged by BRIL. The commissions retained by BRIL during the six months ended June 30, 2026 amounted to $0 and $0 for each of BST and BUI, respectively.

BDJ had entered into a Distribution Agreement with BRIL, an affiliate of the Manager, to provide for distribution of BDJ common shares on a reasonable best efforts basis through a Shelf Offering; however, as of May 26, 2026, BDJ is no longer actively engaged in a Shelf Offering and has no effective registration statement or current prospectus and the Distribution Agreement with BDJ has been terminated. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, BRIL will receive commissions with respect to sales of common shares at a commission rate of 1.00% of the gross proceeds of the sale of BDJ’s common shares and a portion of such commission is re-allowed to broker-dealers engaged by BRIL. The commissions retained by BRIL during the period ended June 30, 2026 amounted to $0 since no sales of BDJ’s common shares were made prior to termination of the Distribution Agreement.

Expense Limitations, Waivers and Reimbursements:

The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive investment advisory fees on the following Trusts as a percentage of their average weekly net assets, as follows:

	BOE
	0.175 %

These voluntary waivers may be reduced or discontinued at any time without notice.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the investment advisory fees waived, which are included in fees waived and/or reimbursed by the Manager in the Statements of Operations, were as follows:

Trust Name	Fees Waived and/or Reimbursed by the Manager
BOE	$ 624,542

With respect to each Trust, the Manager contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees each Trust pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds (the “affiliated money market fund waiver") through June 30, 2027. The contractual agreement may be terminated upon 90 days’ notice by a majority of the Independent Trustees, or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of a Trust. These amounts are included in fees waived and/or reimbursed by the Manager in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the amounts waived were as follows:

Trust Name	Fees Waived and/or Reimbursed by the Manager
BGR	$ 1,800
BDJ	7,227
BOE	4,262
BGY	1,893

The Manager contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee with respect to any portion of each Trust’s assets invested in affiliated equity and fixed-income mutual funds and affiliated exchange-traded funds that have a contractual management fee through June 30, 2027. The agreement can be renewed for annual periods thereafter, and may be terminated on 90 days’ notice, each subject to approval by a majority of the Trusts’ Independent Trustees. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no fees waived by the Manager pursuant to this arrangement.

Securities Lending: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has issued an exemptive order which permits BIM, an affiliate of the Manager, to serve as securities lending agent for the Trusts, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BIM bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. The Trusts are responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan (the “collateral investment fees”). The cash collateral is invested in a money market fund, BlackRock Cash Funds: Institutional, managed by the Manager or its affiliates. However, BIM has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees the Trusts bear to an annual rate of 0.04%. The SL Agency Shares of such money market fund will not be subject to a sales load, distribution fee or service fee. The money market fund in which the cash collateral has been reinvested may impose a discretionary liquidity fee of up to 2% on all redemptions. Discretionary liquidity fees may be imposed or terminated at any time at the discretion of the board of directors of the money market fund, or its delegate, if it is determined that such fee would be, or would not be, respectively, in the best interest of the money market fund. Additionally, the money market fund will impose a mandatory liquidity fee if the money market fund’s total net redemptions on a single day exceed 5% of the money market fund’s net assets, unless the amount of the fee is less than 0.01% of the value of the shares redeemed. The money market fund will determine the size of the mandatory liquidity fee by making a good faith estimate of certain costs the money market fund would incur if it were to sell a pro rata amount of each security in the portfolio to satisfy the amount of net redemptions on that day. There is no limit to the size of a mandatory liquidity fee. If the money market fund cannot estimate the costs of selling a pro rata amount of each portfolio security in good faith and supported by data, it is required to apply a default liquidity fee of 1% on the value of shares redeemed on that day.

Securities lending income is generally equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral (and excludes collateral investment fees), and any fees or other payments to and from borrowers of securities. Each Trust retains a portion of the securities lending income and remits the remaining portion to BIM as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.

INCOME TAX INFORMATION

It is each Trust’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, except with respect to any taxes related to the Taxable Subsidiaries.

Each Trust 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 Trust’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 Trust’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 Trusts as of June 30, 2026, 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 Trusts’ financial statements. Management’s analysis is based on the tax laws and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of these financial statements, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, which may impact the Trusts’ NAV.

As of December 31, 2025, the Trusts had non-expiring capital loss carryforwards and qualified late-year losses as follows:

Trust Name	Non-Expiring Capital Loss Carryforwards(a)	Qualified Late-Year Ordinary Losses(b)
BGR	$ (179,186,685 )	$ (4,522 )

BTX	(1,763,849,346 )	(7,949 )

(a)	Amounts available to offset future realized capital gains.
(b)	The Trust has elected to defer these qualified late-year losses and recognize such losses in the next taxable year.

As of June 30, 2026, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on cost of investments (including short positions and derivatives, if any) for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

PRINCIPAL RISKS

In the normal course of business, each Trust invests in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject each Trust 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, tariffs or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate or 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 Trusts and their investments. BDJ’ s, BME’s, BST’s and BUI’s prospectuses provide details of the risks to which each Trust is subject.

The Trusts may be exposed to additional risks when reinvesting cash collateral in money market funds that do not seek to maintain a stable NAV per share of $1.00, which may be subject to mandatory and discretionary liquidity fees under certain circumstances.

Illiquidity Risk: Each Trust may invest without limitation in illiquid or less liquid investments or investments in which no secondary market is readily available or which are otherwise illiquid, including private placement securities. A Trust may not be able to readily dispose of such investments at prices that approximate those at which a Trust could sell such investments if they were more widely traded and, as a result of such illiquidity, a Trust may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions if necessary to raise funds to meet its obligations. Limited liquidity can also affect the market price of investments, thereby adversely affecting a Trust’s NAV and ability to make dividend distributions. Privately issued debt securities are often of below investment grade quality, frequently are unrated and present many of the same risks as investing in below investment grade public debt securities.

2026 BlackRock Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Market Risk: Each Trust 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 Trust to reinvest in lower yielding securities. Each Trust may also be exposed to reinvestment risk, which is the risk that income from each Trust’s portfolio will decline if each Trust invests the proceeds from matured, traded or called fixed-income securities at market interest rates that are below each Trust portfolio’s current earnings rate.

Valuation Risk: The market values of equities, such as common stocks and preferred securities or equity related investments, such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries. A Trust may invest in illiquid investments. An illiquid investment is any investment that a Trust reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. A Trust may experience difficulty in selling illiquid investments in a timely manner at the price that it believes the investments are worth. Prices may fluctuate widely over short or extended periods in response to company, market or economic news. Markets also tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. This volatility may cause each Trust’s NAV to experience significant increases or decreases over short periods of time. If there is a general decline in the securities and other markets, the NAV of a Trust may lose value, regardless of the individual results of the securities and other instruments in which a Trust invests. A Trust’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. The price a Trust could receive upon the sale of any particular portfolio investment may differ from a Trust’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 Trust’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 Trust, and a Trust could realize a greater than expected loss or lesser than expected gain upon the sale of the investment.

Counterparty Credit Risk: The Trusts 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 Trusts 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 Trusts to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Trusts’ 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 Trusts.

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.

For OTC options purchased, each Trust bears the risk of loss in the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by the Trusts should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Trusts do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Trusts, and not the counterparty, to perform. The Trusts may be exposed to counterparty credit risk with respect to options written to the extent each Trust deposits collateral with its counterparty to a written option.

With exchange-traded options purchased, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Trusts 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 Trust 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).

Geographic/Asset Class 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 Trust’s portfolio are disclosed in its Schedule of Investments.

As of period end, the Trusts listed below invested a significant portion of their assets in securities in the following sectors:

Sectors	Trust Name
Energy	BGR, BCX
Financials	BGY
Health Care	BMEZ, BME
Information Technology	BOE, CII, BSTZ, BST, BTX
Materials	BCX
Utilities	BUI

Changes in economic conditions affecting such sectors would have a greater impact on the Trusts and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.

Certain Trusts 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 Trust and could affect the income from, or the value or liquidity of, the Trust’s portfolio. Investment percentages in specific sectors are presented in the Schedules of Investments.

Certain Trusts invest a substantial amount of their assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. When a fund concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, regulatory, political and social conditions in those countries may have a significant impact on their investment performance and could affect the income from, or the value or liquidity of, the Trust’s portfolio. Unanticipated or sudden political or social developments may cause uncertainty in the markets and as a result adversely affect the Trust’s investments. Foreign issuers may not be subject to the same uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices as used in the United States. Foreign securities markets may also be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. securities and may be less subject to governmental supervision not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities. Investment percentages in specific countries are presented in the Schedules of Investments.

Notes to Financial Statements

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Certain Trusts invest a significant portion of their assets in securities of issuers located in the United States. A decrease in imports or exports, changes in trade regulations, inflation and/or an economic recession in the United States may have a material adverse effect on the U.S. economy and the securities listed on U.S. exchanges. Proposed and adopted policy and legislative changes in the United States may also have a significant effect on U.S. markets generally, as well as on the value of certain securities. Governmental agencies project that the United States will continue to maintain elevated public debt levels for the foreseeable future which may constrain future economic growth. Circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal on U.S. government debt, such as reaching the legislative “debt ceiling.” Such non-payment would result in substantial negative consequences for the U.S. economy and the global financial system. If U.S. relations with certain countries deteriorate, it could adversely affect issuers that rely on the United States for trade. The United States has also experienced increased internal unrest and discord. If these trends were to continue, they may have an adverse impact on the U.S. economy and the issuers in which the Trusts invest.

Certain Trusts invest a significant portion of their assets in securities of issuers located in Europe or with significant exposure to European issuers or countries. The European financial markets have recently experienced volatility and adverse trends due to concerns about economic downturns in, or rising government debt levels of, several European countries as well as acts of war in the region. These events may spread to other countries in Europe and may affect the value and liquidity of certain of the Trusts’ investments.

Responses to the financial problems by European governments, central banks and others, including austerity measures and reforms, may not work, may result in social unrest and may limit future growth and economic recovery or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and others of their debt could have additional adverse effects on economies, financial markets and asset valuations around the world. The United Kingdom has withdrawn from the European Union, and one or more other countries may withdraw from the European Union and/or abandon the Euro, the common currency of the European Union. These events and actions have adversely affected, and may in the future adversely affect, the value and exchange rate of the Euro and may continue to significantly affect the economies of every country in Europe, including countries that do not use the Euro and non-European Union member states. The impact of these actions, especially if they occur in a disorderly fashion, is not clear but could be significant and far reaching. In addition, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The extent and duration of the military action, resulting sanctions and resulting future market disruptions in the region are impossible to predict, but have been, and may continue to be, significant and have a severe adverse effect on the region, including significant negative impacts on the economy and the markets for certain securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas, as well as other sectors.

Certain Trusts invest a significant portion of their assets in securities of issuers located in China or with significant exposure to Chinese issuers. Investments in Chinese securities, including certain Hong Kong-listed securities, involve risks specific to China. China may be subject to considerable degrees of economic, political and social instability and demonstrates significantly higher volatility from time to time in comparison to developed markets. Chinese markets generally continue to experience inefficiency, volatility and pricing anomalies resulting from governmental influence, a lack of publicly available information and/or political and social instability. Internal social unrest or confrontations with other neighboring countries may disrupt economic development in China and result in a greater risk of currency fluctuations, currency non-convertibility, interest rate fluctuations and higher rates of inflation. Incidents involving China’s or the region’s security may cause uncertainty in Chinese markets and may adversely affect the Chinese economy and the Fund’s investments. Reduction in spending on Chinese products and services, supply chain diversification, institution of tariffs, sanctions or other trade barriers, or a downturn in any of the economies of China’s key trading partners may have an adverse impact on the Chinese economy. In addition, measures may be taken to limit the flow of capital and/or sanctions may be imposed, which could prohibit or restrict the ability to own or transfer fund assets and may also include retaliatory actions, such as seizure of fund assets.

CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Each Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, with the exception of CII, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. CII is authorized to issue 200 million Common Shares. The par value for each Trust’s Common Shares is $0.001, except for CII, which is $0.10. The Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued Common Shares to Preferred Shares without the approval of Common Shareholders.

As of the close of business on March 9, 2026, BUI issued transferrable rights to its Common Shareholders of record, entitling the holders of those rights to subscribe for shares of BUI’s common stock (the “Offer”). Shareholders received one right for each outstanding Common Share owned on the record date. The rights entitled their holders to purchase one new Common Share for every four rights held (1-for-4). The Offer expired on April 2, 2026. BUI received from the Offer gross proceeds of $64,744,600 for the issuance of 2,455,237 Common Shares. The rights offering resulted in $(0.10) or (0.36)% NAV dilution since the Common Shares were issued below BUI’s NAV. BUI received the entire proceeds from the shares issued under the Offer since the Manager agreed to pay for all expenses (including sales commissions) related to the Offer.

Common Shares

BST and BUI have filed a prospectus with the SEC allowing them to issue an additional 12,000,000 and 7,500,000 Common Shares, respectively, through an equity Shelf Offering. Under the Shelf Offering, BST and BUI, subject to market conditions, may raise additional equity capital from time to time in varying amounts and utilizing various offering methods at a net price at or above each Trust’s NAV per Common Share (calculated within 48 hours of pricing). As of period end,12,000,000 and 6,256,879 Common Shares, respectively, remain available for issuance under the Shelf Offering. During the period ended June 30, 2026, BST and BUI issued 0 and 0 shares, respectively, under the Trust’s respective current Shelf Offering and the Trust’s prior Shelf Offering. See Additional Information — Shelf Offering Program for additional information.

BDJ filed a prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) allowing it to issue an additional 40,000,000 Common Shares, through an equity Shelf Offering. During the period ended June 30, 2026, BDJ did not issue any Common Shares through its Shelf Offering. Effective May 26, 2026, BDJ is no longer actively engaged in a Shelf Offering and has no effective registration statement or current prospectus for the sale of Common Shares.

Initial costs incurred by each of BST and BUI in connection with their Shelf Offerings are recorded as “Deferred offering costs” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As shares are sold, a portion of the costs attributable to the shares sold will be charged against paid-in-capital. Any remaining deferred charges at the end of the Shelf Offering period will be charged to expense.

Each Trust had previously adopted a one-year discount management program (the “Program”) that was comprised of four 3-month measurement periods, expiring with the measurement period ending March 31, 2025. Under the Program, each Trust offered to repurchase a portion of its common shares via tender offer if the Trust’s common shares traded at an average daily discount to NAV of more than 7.5% during a 3-month measurement period. As a result of the discount trigger being met during the respective measurement periods under the Program, certain Trusts conducted a tender offer for 2.5% of its outstanding common shares, at a price equal to 98% of the NAV per share, determined on the business day after the tender offer expired. The results of the tender offers were as follows:

(a)	Date the tender offer period began.

The Board approved the renewal of each Trust’s Program (excluding BMEZ and BTX), which consisted of one measurement period beginning on January 1, 2025 and ending on September 30, 2025. Under the renewed Program, each Trust intended to offer to repurchase a portion of its common shares via tender offer if the Trust’s common shares traded at an average daily discount to NAV of more than 10% during the 9-month measurement period. The discount trigger was not met and therefore no tender offers were conducted with respect to this measurement period.

Each Trust (excluding BTX), has a renewed Program which consists of one measurement period beginning on January 1, 2026 and ending on September 30, 2026. Under the renewed Program, each Trust intends to offer to repurchase a portion of its common shares via tender offer if the Trust’s common shares trade at an average daily discount to NAV of more than 10% during the 9-month measurement period. If the discount trigger is met and a tender offer is conducted, there is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares that they desire to sell in such tender offer and there can be no assurance as to the effect that the Program will have on the market for a Trust’s shares or the discount at which a Trust’s shares may trade relative to its NAV.

On January 20, 2025, the Board approved tender offers to repurchase 50% of BTX’s outstanding shares and 40% of BMEZ’s outstanding shares, at a price per share equal to 99.5% of the applicable Trust’s net asset value per common share determined following the expiration of the tender offer. In connection with the approval of these tender offers, the discount management program was terminated for each of BTX and BMEZ and the respective tender offers for the quarterly measurement period ended December 31, 2024 were cancelled.

Tender offer results were as follows:

FOREIGN WITHHOLDINGS TAX CLAIMS

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has issued guidance to address U.S. income tax liabilities attributable to fund shareholders resulting from the recovery of foreign taxes withheld in prior calendar years. These withheld foreign taxes were passed through to shareholders in the form of foreign tax credits in the year the taxes were withheld. Assuming there are sufficient foreign taxes paid which BGY is able to pass through to shareholders as a foreign tax credit in the current year, the Trust will be able to offset the prior years’ withholding taxes recovered against the foreign taxes paid in the current year. Accordingly, no federal income tax liability is recorded by the Trust.

Certain of the outstanding foreign tax reclaims are not deemed by the Trust to meet the recognition criteria under U.S. GAAP as of June 30, 2026, and have not been recorded in the applicable Trust’s net asset value. The recognition by the Trust of these amounts would have a positive impact on the applicable Trust’s performance. If a Trust receives a tax refund that has not been previously recorded, investors in the Trust at the time the claim is successful will benefit from any resulting increase in the Trust’s NAV. Investors who sold their shares prior to such time will not benefit from such NAV increase.

BGR, BOE, BGY, BCX and BUI are each seeking a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") to address any prior years’ U.S. income tax liabilities attributable to Trust shareholders resulting from the recovery of foreign taxes. The closing agreement would result in the Trust paying a compliance fee to the IRS, on behalf of its shareholders, representing the estimated tax savings generated from foreign tax credits claimed by Trust shareholders on their tax returns in prior years. The Trust has accrued a liability for the estimated IRS compliance fee related to foreign withholding tax claims, which is disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The actual IRS compliance fee may differ from the estimate and that difference may be material.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements

The Boards of Directors/Trustees, as applicable (collectively, the “Board,” the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust (“BGR”), BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust (“BDJ”), BlackRock Enhanced Global Dividend Trust (“BOE”), BlackRock Enhanced International Dividend Trust (“BGY”), BlackRock Enhanced Large Cap Core Fund, Inc. (“CII”), BlackRock Health Sciences Trust (“BME”), BlackRock Health Sciences Term Trust (“BMEZ”), BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust (“BCX”), BlackRock Science and Technology Trust (“BST”), BlackRock Science and Technology Term Trust (“BSTZ”), BlackRock Technology and Private Equity Term Trust (“BTX”), and BlackRock Utilities, Infrastructure & Power Opportunities Trust (“BUI”) (collectively, the “Funds” and each, a “Fund”) met on May 7, 2026 (the “May Meeting”) and June 4-5, 2026 (the “June Meeting”) to consider the approval to continue the investment advisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) between each Fund and BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), each Fund’s investment advisor. The Board also considered the approval to continue the sub-advisory agreements (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) between the Manager, BlackRock International Limited (the “Sub-Advisor”) and each of BGR, BOE, BGY, BCX and BUI. The Manager and the Sub-Advisor are referred to herein as “BlackRock.” The Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to herein as the “Agreements.”

The Approval Process

Consistent with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board considers the approval of the continuation of the Agreements for each Fund on an annual basis. The Board Members who are not “interested persons” of each Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act, are considered independent Board Members (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board’s consideration entailed a year-long deliberative process during which the Board and its committees assessed BlackRock’s various services to each Fund, including through the review of written materials and oral presentations, and the review of additional information provided in response to requests from the Independent Board Members. The Board had four quarterly meetings during the year, as well as numerous ad hoc meetings and executive sessions throughout the year, as needed. The committees of the Board similarly met throughout the year. The Board also held the May Meeting to consider specific information regarding the renewal of the Agreements. In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund by BlackRock, BlackRock’s personnel and affiliates, including (as applicable): investment management services; accounting oversight; administrative and shareholder services; oversight of each Fund’s service providers; risk management and oversight; and legal, regulatory and compliance services. Throughout the year, including during the contract renewal process, the Independent Board Members were advised by independent legal counsel, and met with independent legal counsel in various executive sessions outside of the presence of BlackRock’s management.

During the year, the Board, acting directly and through its committees, considered information that was relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements, including the services and support provided by BlackRock to each Fund and its shareholders. BlackRock also provided additional information to the Board in response to specific questions and requests from the Board. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance for one-year, three-year, five-year, and/or since inception periods, as applicable, against peer funds, relevant benchmarks, and other performance metrics, as applicable, as well as BlackRock senior management’s and portfolio managers’ investment performance analyses, and the reasons for any material outperformance or underperformance relative to its peers, benchmarks, and other performance metrics, as applicable; (b) leverage management, as applicable; (c) fees, including advisory, administration, if applicable, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by each Fund for applicable services; (d) Fund operating expenses and how BlackRock allocates expenses to each Fund; (e) the resources devoted to risk oversight of, and compliance reports relating to, implementation of each Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions, and meeting regulatory requirements; (f) BlackRock’s and each Fund’s development and application of applicable compliance policies and procedures; (g) the nature, character and scope of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates and the estimated cost of such services, as applicable; (h) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls and risk and compliance oversight mechanisms; (i) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Board; (j) execution quality of portfolio transactions; (k) BlackRock’s implementation of each Fund’s valuation and liquidity procedures; (l) an analysis of management fees paid to BlackRock for products with similar investment mandates across the open-end fund, closed-end fund, sub-advised mutual fund, collective investment trust and institutional separate account product channels, as applicable, and the similarities and differences between these products and the services provided as compared to each Fund; (m) BlackRock’s compensation methodology for its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, along with investment professionals’ investments in the fund(s) they manage; (n) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business; (o) each Fund’s market discount/premium compared to peer funds; and (p) distributions.

Prior to and in preparation for the May Meeting, the Board prepared and submitted questions, requested specific materials, and received and reviewed materials specifically relating to the renewal of the Agreements. The Independent Board Members engaged in a process with their independent legal counsel and BlackRock to review the nature and scope of the information provided to the Board to better assist its deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the May Meeting included, among other things: (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), based on either a Lipper classification or Morningstar category, regarding each Fund’s fees and expenses as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Broadridge (“Expense Peers”) and the investment performance of each Fund as compared with a peer group of funds (“Performance Peers”); (b) information on the composition of the Expense Peers and Performance Peers and a description of Broadridge’s methodology; (c) information on the estimated profits realized by BlackRock and its affiliates pursuant to the Agreements and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates; (d) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment management fees received in connection with other types of investment products, such as institutional accounts, sub-advised mutual funds, closed-end funds, and open-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as applicable; (e) a review of non-management fees, as applicable; (f) the existence, impact and sharing of potential economies of scale, if any, with each Fund; (g) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by each Fund to BlackRock; and (h) various additional information requested by the Board as appropriate regarding BlackRock’s and each Fund’s operations.

At the May Meeting, the Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements and the Independent Board Members presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to these questions and requests with additional written information in advance of the June Meeting, and such responses were reviewed by the Board Members.

At the June Meeting, the Board concluded its assessment of, among other things: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of each Fund as compared to its Performance Peers and to other metrics, as applicable; (c) the advisory fee and the estimated cost of the services and estimated profits realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund; (d) each Fund’s fees and expenses compared to its Expense Peers; (e) the existence and sharing of potential economies of scale; (f) any fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates as a result of BlackRock’s relationship with each Fund; and (g) other factors deemed relevant by the Board Members.

The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as other payments made or benefits that inure to BlackRock or its affiliates, including relating to, as applicable, securities lending and cash management activities of a Fund. The Board noted the willingness of BlackRock’s personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board evaluated the information available to it on a fund-by-fund basis. The following paragraphs provide more information about some of the primary factors that were relevant to the Board’s decision. The Board Members did not identify any particular information, or any single factor as determinative, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items and factors considered.

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by BlackRock

The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services, and the resulting performance of each Fund. Throughout the year, the Board compared Fund performance to the performance of a comparable group of closed-end funds, relevant benchmarks, and performance metrics, as applicable. Throughout the year, the Board met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment activities, including the senior investment officers. The Board also reviewed the materials provided by each Fund’s portfolio management team discussing each Fund’s performance, investment strategies and outlook.

The Board considered, among other factors, with respect to BlackRock: the experience of each Fund’s portfolio management team (including the tenure of or changes in the portfolio management team); research capabilities; investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage; portfolio trading capabilities; use of certain trading, portfolio management, operations and/or information systems owned by BlackRock; commitment to compliance; credit analysis capabilities; risk analysis and oversight capabilities; and the approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Board also considered BlackRock’s overall risk management program, including the continued efforts of BlackRock and its affiliates to address cybersecurity risks, the role of BlackRock’s Risk & Quantitative Analysis Group, and BlackRock’s policies and procedures for third-party vendor oversight. The Board engaged in a review of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to each Fund’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high-quality talent and create performance incentives.

In addition to investment advisory services, the Board considered the nature and quality of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided to each Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Fund with certain administrative, shareholder and other services (in addition to any such services provided to a Fund by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of each Fund. In particular, BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Fund with administrative services including, among others: (i) responsibility for disclosure documents, registration statements in connection with BDJ’s, CII’s, BME’s, BCX’s, BST’s and BUI’s equity shelf program, and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) preparing communications with analysts to support secondary market trading of the Fund; (iii) oversight of daily accounting and net asset value; and services related to the valuation and pricing of the Fund’s portfolio holdings; (iv) responsibility for periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; (v) overseeing and coordinating the activities of third-party service providers including, among others, the Fund’s custodian, fund accountant, transfer agent, and auditor; (vi) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (vii) providing legal and compliance support; (viii) furnishing analytical and other support to assist the Board in its consideration of strategic issues such as the merger, consolidation or repurposing of certain closed-end funds; and (ix) performing or managing administrative functions necessary for the operation of the Fund, such as tax reporting, expense management, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements, and shareholder call center and other services. The Board reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, shareholder services, and legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Board also considered the operation of BlackRock’s business continuity plans.

The Board noted that the engagement of the Sub-Advisor with respect to BGR, BOE, BGY, BCX and BUI facilitates the provision of investment advice and trading by investment personnel located outside of the United States. The Board considered that this arrangement provides additional flexibility to the portfolio management team, which may benefit each such Fund and its shareholders.

B. The Investment Performance of each Fund

The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed and considered the performance history of each Fund throughout the year and at the May Meeting. The Board was provided with Fund performance reporting and analysis, relative to applicable performance metrics, by BlackRock throughout the year and at the May Meeting. In preparation for the May Meeting, the Board was also provided with reports independently prepared by Broadridge, which included an analysis of each Fund’s performance as of December 31, 2025, as compared to its Performance Peers. Broadridge ranks funds in quartiles, ranging from first to fourth, where first is the most desirable quartile position and fourth is the least desirable. In connection with its review, the Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance of each Fund as compared to its Performance Peers and certain performance metrics (“Performance Metrics”). The Board and its Performance Oversight Committee regularly review and meet with Fund management to discuss the performance of each Fund throughout the year.

The Board noted that while it found the data provided by Broadridge generally useful, it recognized the limitations of such data, including in particular, that notable differences may exist between a fund and its Performance Peers (for example, the investment objectives and strategies). Further, the Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot of a period as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce significantly different results. The Board also acknowledged that long-term performance could be impacted by even one period of significant outperformance or underperformance, and that a single investment theme could have the ability to disproportionately affect long-term performance.

The Board reviewed and considered BGR’s performance relative to BGR’s Performance Metrics. Based on an overall rating relative to the Performance Metrics, BGR generally performed in line with expectations. The Board noted that BlackRock believes that the Performance Metrics are an appropriate performance comparison for BGR, and that BlackRock has explained its rationale for this belief to the Board.

The Board reviewed and considered BDJ’s performance relative to BDJ’s Performance Metrics. Based on an overall rating relative to the Performance Metrics, BDJ generally performed above expectations. The Board noted that BlackRock believes that the Performance Metrics are an appropriate performance comparison for BDJ, and that BlackRock has explained its rationale for this belief to the Board.

The Board reviewed and considered CII’s performance relative to CII’s Performance Metrics. Based on an overall rating relative to the Performance Metrics, CII generally performed above expectations. The Board noted that BlackRock believes that the Performance Metrics are an appropriate performance comparison for CII, and that BlackRock has explained its rationale for this belief to the Board.

The Board reviewed and considered BME’s performance relative to BME’s Performance Metrics. Based on an overall rating relative to the Performance Metrics, BME generally performed in line with expectations. The Board noted that BlackRock believes that the Performance Metrics are an appropriate performance comparison for BME, and that BlackRock has explained its rationale for this belief to the Board.

The Board reviewed and considered BMEZ’s performance relative to BMEZ’s Performance Metrics. Based on an overall rating relative to the Performance Metrics, BMEZ generally performed below expectations. The Board noted that BlackRock believes that the Performance Metrics are an appropriate performance comparison for BMEZ, and that BlackRock has explained its rationale for this belief to the Board. BlackRock and the Board discussed factors driving BMEZ’s underperformance, and noted the long-term structural drivers supporting BMEZ’s strategy and future performance.

The Board reviewed and considered BCX’s performance relative to BCX’s Performance Metrics. Based on an overall rating relative to the Performance Metrics, BCX generally performed above expectations. The Board noted that BlackRock believes that the Performance Metrics are an appropriate performance comparison for BCX, and that BlackRock has explained its rationale for this belief to the Board.

The Board reviewed and considered BST’s performance relative to BST’s Performance Metrics. Based on an overall rating relative to the Performance Metrics, BST generally performed below expectations. The Board noted that BlackRock believes that the Performance Metrics are an appropriate performance comparison for BST, and that BlackRock has explained its rationale for this belief to the Board. The Board and BlackRock reviewed BST’s underperformance relative to the Performance Metrics.

The Board reviewed and considered BSTZ’s performance relative to BSTZ’s Performance Metrics. Based on an overall rating relative to the Performance Metrics, BSTZ generally performed in line with expectations. The Board noted that BlackRock believes that the Performance Metrics are an appropriate performance comparison for BSTZ, and that BlackRock has explained its rationale for this belief to the Board.

The Board reviewed and considered BTX’s performance relative to BTX’s Performance Metrics. Based on an overall rating relative to the Performance Metrics, BTX generally performed below expectations. The Board noted that BlackRock believes that the Performance Metrics are an appropriate performance comparison for BTX, and that BlackRock has explained its rationale for this belief to the Board. The Board and BlackRock reviewed BTX’s underperformance relative to the Performance Metrics.

The Board reviewed and considered BUI’s performance relative to BUI’s Performance Metrics. Based on an overall rating relative to the Performance Metrics, BUI generally performed in line with expectations. The Board noted that BlackRock believes that the Performance Metrics are an appropriate performance comparison for BUI, and that BlackRock has explained its rationale for this belief to the Board.

C. Consideration of the Advisory/Management Fees and the Estimated Costs of the Services and Estimated Profits Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with each Fund

The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed each Fund’s contractual management fee rate compared with those of its Expense Peers. The contractual management fee rate represents a combination of the advisory fee and any administrative fees, before taking into account any reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board also compared each Fund’s total expense ratio, as well as its actual management fee rate as a percentage of managed assets, which is the total assets of each Fund (including any assets attributable to money borrowed for investment purposes) minus the sum of each Fund’s accrued liabilities (other than money borrowed for investment purposes) to those of its Expense Peers. The total expense ratio represents a fund’s total net operating expenses, excluding any investment related expenses. The total expense ratio gives effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers, and the actual management fee rate gives effect to any management fee reimbursements or waivers. The Board considered that the fee and expense information in the Broadridge report for each Fund reflected information for a specific period and that historical asset levels and expenses may differ from current levels, particularly in a period of market volatility. The Board also noted that while it found the expense comparison provided by Broadridge generally useful, it recognized that the comparison is subject to Broadridge’s defined peer selection criteria and methodology. The Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock and its affiliates to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, as applicable, including institutional accounts and sub-advised mutual funds (including mutual funds sponsored by third parties).

The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability methodology and was also provided with an estimated profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to each Fund. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s estimated profitability with respect to each Fund and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to available aggregate estimated profitability data provided for the prior two years. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s estimated profitability with respect to certain other U.S. fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the estimated profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds managed, precision of expense allocations and business mix. The Board thus recognized the limitations of calculating and comparing profitability at the individual fund level.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (continued)

The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s overall operating margin, in general, compared to that of certain other publicly traded asset management firms. The Board considered the differences between BlackRock and these other firms, including the contribution of BlackRock’s technology business, BlackRock’s expense management, and the relative product mix. The Board noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability information for other advisors is not publicly available.

The Board considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Board. The Board further considered factors including but not limited to BlackRock’s commitment of time and resources, assumption of risk, and liability profile in servicing each Fund, including in contrast to what is required of BlackRock with respect to other products with similar investment mandates across the open-end fund, closed-end fund, sub-advised mutual fund, collective investment trust, and institutional separate account product channels, as applicable.

The Board noted that BGR’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the first quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio ranked in the second and first quartiles, respectively, relative to the Expense Peers.

The Board noted that BDJ’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the first quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked in the first quartile relative to the Expense Peers.

The Board noted that BOE’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the second quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio ranked in the first and second quartiles, respectively, relative to the Expense Peers. In addition, the Board noted that BlackRock had agreed to voluntarily waive a portion of the advisory fee payable by BOE. After discussion between the Board, including the Independent Board Members, and BlackRock, the Board and BlackRock agreed to a continuation of the current 17.5 basis points voluntary advisory fee waiver.

The Board noted that BGY’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the second quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio ranked in the second and fourth quartiles, respectively, relative to the Expense Peers.

The Board noted that CII’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the first quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked in the first quartile relative to the Expense Peers.

The Board noted that BUI’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the second quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked in the second quartile relative to the Expense Peers.

D. Economies of Scale

The Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which any economies of scale might benefit each Fund in a variety of ways as the assets of each Fund increase. The Board considered multiple factors, including the advisory fee rate and breakpoints, and fee waivers, as applicable. The Board considered each Fund’s asset levels and whether the current fee was appropriate.

Based on the Board’s review and consideration of the issue, the Board concluded that most closed-end funds do not have fund level breakpoints because closed-end funds generally do not experience substantial growth after the initial public offering. Closed-end funds are typically priced at scale at a fund’s inception. The Board noted that although each of BDJ, CII, BME, BCX, BST and BUI may from time-to-time make additional share offerings pursuant to its equity shelf program, the growth of each of BDJ’s, CII’s, BME’s, BCX’s, BST’s and BUI’s assets will occur primarily through the appreciation of its investment portfolio.

E. Other Factors Deemed Relevant by the Board Members

The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also took into account other ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates may derive from BlackRock’s respective relationships with each Fund, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios and its risk management personnel, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates as service providers to each Fund, including for administrative, securities lending and cash management services. The Board also noted the revenue received by BlackRock and/or its affiliates pursuant to an agreement that permits a service provider to use certain portions of BlackRock’s technology platform to service accounts managed by BlackRock and/or its

affiliates. With respect to securities lending, during the year the Board also considered information provided by independent third-party consultants related to the performance of each BlackRock affiliate as securities lending agent. The Board considered BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Board noted that, subject to applicable law, BlackRock may use and benefit from third-party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain registered fund transactions to assist in managing all or a number of its other client accounts. Throughout the year, the Board also received information and reporting, as applicable, regarding BlackRock’s soft dollar, brokerage, and trade execution practices.

The Board also considered the various notable initiatives and projects BlackRock performed in connection with its closed-end fund product line. These initiatives included developing equity shelf programs; efforts to eliminate product overlap with fund mergers; ongoing services to manage leverage that has become increasingly complex; periodic evaluation of share repurchases and other support initiatives for certain BlackRock-advised funds; and efforts to reduce fund discounts, including continued communication efforts with shareholders, fund analysts and financial advisers. With respect to the latter, the Independent Board Members noted BlackRock’s continued commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds through a comprehensive secondary market communication program designed to raise investor and analyst awareness and understanding of closed-end funds. BlackRock’s support services included, among other things: sponsoring and participating in conferences; communicating with closed-end fund analysts covering the BlackRock funds throughout the year; providing marketing and product updates for the closed-end funds; and maintaining and enhancing its closed-end fund website.

Conclusion

At the June Meeting, in a continuation of the discussions that occurred during the May Meeting, and as a culmination of the Board’s year-long deliberative process, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements between the Manager and each Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2027, and the Sub-Advisory Agreements among the Manager, the Sub-Advisor and each of BGR, BOE, BGY, BCX and BUI for a one-year term ending June 30, 2027. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, as well as other information, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders. In arriving at its decision to approve the Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the deliberative process.

Additional Information

Trust Certification

The Trusts are listed for trading on the NYSE and have filed with the NYSE their annual chief executive officer certification regarding compliance with the NYSE’s listing standards. The Trusts filed with the SEC the certification of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Integration

Although the Trusts do not seek to implement a specific sustainability objective, strategy or process unless otherwise disclosed, Trust management will consider ESG factors as part of the investment process for the Trusts. Trust management views ESG integration as the practice of incorporating financially material ESG data or information into investment processes with the objective of enhancing risk-adjusted returns. These ESG considerations will vary depending on the Trusts’ particular investment strategies and may include consideration of third-party research as well as consideration of proprietary BlackRock research across the ESG risks and opportunities regarding an issuer. The ESG characteristics utilized in the Trusts’ investment process are anticipated to evolve over time and one or more characteristics may not be relevant with respect to all issuers that are eligible for investment. Certain of these considerations may affect the Trusts’ exposure to certain companies or industries. While Trust management views ESG considerations as having the potential to contribute to the Trusts’ long-term performance, there is no guarantee that such results will be achieved.

Dividend Policy

Each Trust’s policy is to make monthly distributions to shareholders. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, each Trust employs a managed distribution plan (the "Plan"), the goal of which is to provide shareholders with consistent and predictable cash flows by setting distribution rates based on expected long-term returns of each Trust.

The distributions paid by each Trust for any particular month may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by each Trust during such month. Furthermore, the final tax characterization of distributions is determined after the year-end of a Trust and is reported in each Trust’s annual report to shareholders. Distributions can be characterized as ordinary income, capital gains and/or return of capital. Each Trust’s taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains (“taxable income”) may not be sufficient to support the level of distributions paid. To the extent that distributions exceed the Trust’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess may be treated as a non-taxable return of capital.

A return of capital is a return of a portion of an investor’s original investment. A return of capital is not expected to be taxable, but it reduces a shareholder’s tax basis in his or her shares, thus reducing any loss or increasing any gain on a subsequent disposition by the shareholder of his or her shares. It is possible that a substantial portion of the distributions paid during a calendar year may ultimately be classified as return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes when the final determination of the source and character of the distributions is made.

Such distributions, under certain circumstances, may exceed a Trust’s total return performance. When total distributions exceed total return performance for the period, the difference reduces the Trust’s total assets and net asset value (“NAV”) per share and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the Trust’s expense ratio and reducing the amount of assets the Trust has available for long term investment.

Shelf Offering Program

From time to time, BST and BUI may seek to raise additional equity capital through a Shelf Offering. In a Shelf Offering, BST and BUI may, subject to market conditions, raise additional equity capital by issuing new Common Shares from time to time in varying amounts at a net price at or above BST’s and BUI’s net asset value (“NAV”) per Common Share (calculated within 48 hours of pricing). While any such Shelf Offering may allow BST and BUI to pursue additional investment opportunities without the need to sell existing portfolio investments, it could also entail risks – including that the issuance of additional Common Shares may limit the extent to which the Common Shares are able to trade at a premium to NAV in the secondary market.

BST (effective on April 23, 2026) and BUI have each filed a prospectus with the SEC in connection with its Shelf Offering. This report and the prospectuses of BUI is not offer to sell BUI Common Shares or solicitations of an offer to buy BUI Common Shares in any jurisdiction where such offers or sales are not permitted. The prospectuses of BUI contains important information about BUI, including it’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Investors are urged to read the prospectuses of BUI carefully and in it’s entirety before investing. Copies of the final prospectuses for BUI can be obtained from BlackRock at blackrock.com.
