NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

Note 1. Organization & Accounting Policies

BlackRock Broad Investment Grade 2009 Term Trust Inc. (“Broad Investment Grade”), BlackRock Core Bond Trust (“Core Bond”), BlackRock High Yield Trust (“High Yield”), BlackRock Income Opportunity Trust (“Income Opportunity”), BlackRock Income Trust Inc. (“Income Trust”), BlackRock Limited Duration Income Trust (“Limited Duration”) and BlackRock Strategic Bond Trust (“Strategic Bond”) (collectively, the “Trusts”) are registered as diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Broad Investment Grade, Income Opportunity and Income Trust are organized as Maryland corporations. Core Bond, High Yield, Limited Duration and Strategic Bond are organized as Delaware statutory trusts.

On December 3, 1999, Broad Investment Grade transferred a substantial portion of its total assets to a 100% owned regulated investment company subsidiary called BCT Subsidiary, Inc. The financial statements and these notes to the financial statements for Broad Investment Grade are consolidated and include the operations of both Broad Investment Grade and its wholly owned subsidiary after elimination of all intercompany transactions and balances.

Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, their officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trusts. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trusts enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trusts’ maximum exposure under these arrangements are unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trusts. However, based on experience, the Trusts consider the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trusts.

Investment Valuation: The Trusts value most of their investments on the basis of current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services selected under the supervision of each Trust’s Board (the “Board”) of Directors/Trustees (the “Trustees”). In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments, and calculated yield measures based on valuation technology commonly employed in the market for such investments. Exchange-traded options are valued at their last sales price as of the close of options trading on applicable exchanges. In the absence of a last sale, options are valued at the average of the quoted bid and asked prices as of the close of business. A futures contract is valued at the last sale price as of the close of the commodities exchange on which it trades. Swap quotations are provided by dealers selected under the supervision of the Board. Short-term securities may be valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Investments or assets for which such current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value (“Fair Value Assets”) as determined in good faith under procedures established by, and under the general supervision and responsibility of, each Trust’s Board. The investment advisor and/or sub-advisor will submit its recommendations regarding the valuation and/or valuation methodologies for Fair Value Assets to a valuation committee. The valuation committee may accept, modify or reject any recommendations. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets shall be subsequently reported to the Board.

When determining the price for a Fair Value Asset, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor shall seek to determine the price that the Trust might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The cost of investments sold and the related gain or loss is determined by use of the specific identification method, generally first-in, first out, for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. Each Trust records interest income on an accrual basis and amortizes premium and/or accretes discount on securities purchased using the interest method.

Each Trust may from time to time purchase in the secondary market certain mortgage pass-through securities packaged or master serviced by affiliates or mortgage-related securities containing loans or mortgages originated by PNC Bank or its affiliates, including Midland Loan Services, Inc., each of which is an affiliate of BlackRock Advisors, Inc. It is possible under certain circumstances, that PNC Mortgage Securities Corp. or its affiliates, including Midland Loan Services, Inc., could have interests that are in conflict with the holders of these mortgage-backed securities, and such holders could have rights against PNC Mortgage Securities Corp. or its affiliates, including Midland Loan Services, Inc.

Repurchase Agreements: In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, a Trust’s custodian takes possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of which at least equals the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by a Trust may be delayed or limited.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements: The Trusts may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with qualified third-party broker-dealers as determined by and under the direction of the Trusts’ Board. Interest on the value of reverse repurchase agreements issued and outstanding is based upon competitive market rates at the time of issuance. At the time a Trust enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it will establish and maintain a segregated account with the lender, containing liquid investment grade securities having a value not less than the repurchase price, including accrued interest of the reverse repurchase agreement.

Dollar Rolls: The Trusts may enter into dollar rolls in which a Trust sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specified future date. During the roll period the Trusts forgo principal and interest paid on the securities. The Trusts will be compensated by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale and/or by the lower repurchase price at the future date.

Loan Payable: High Yield has a $32 million committed credit facility (the “facility”). Under the terms of the facility, the Trust borrows at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus facility and administrative fees. In addition, the Trust pays a liquidity fee on the unused

portion of the facility. The Trust may borrow up to 33 1/3% of its total assets up to the committed amount. In accordance with the terms of the facility, the Trust has pledged its portfolio assets as collateral for the borrowing.

Bank Loans: In the process of buying, selling and holding bank loans, a Trust may receive and/or pay certain fees. These fees are in addition to interest payments received and may include facility fees, commitment fees, amendment fees, commissions and prepayment penalty fees. When a Trust buys a bank loan it may receive a facility fee and when it sells a bank loan it may pay a facility fee. On an ongoing basis, a Trust may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a bank loan. In certain circumstances, a Trust may receive a prepayment penalty fee upon the prepayment of a bank loan by a borrower. Other fees received by a Trust may include covenant waiver fees and covenant modification fees.

Option Writing/Purchasing: When a Trust writes or purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Trust is recorded as an asset or a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by the Trust on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or the proceeds from the sale in determining whether a Trust has realized a gain or a loss on investment transactions. A Trust, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

Options, when used by the Trusts, help in maintaining a targeted duration. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a security or a portfolio to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of “one” means that a portfolio’s or a security’s price would be expected to change by approximately one percent with a one percent change in interest rates, while a duration of five would imply that the price would move approximately five percent in relation to a one percent change in interest rates.

Option writing and purchasing may be used by the Trusts as an attempt to manage the duration of positions, or collections of positions, so that changes in interest rates do not adversely affect the targeted duration of the portfolio unexpectedly. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying position at the exercise 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 position at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. Put or call options can be purchased or sold to help manage the targeted duration of the portfolio.

The main risk that is associated with purchasing options is that the option expires without being exercised. In this case, the option expires worthless and the premium paid for the option is considered the loss. The risk associated with writing call options is that a Trust may forgo the opportunity for a profit if the market value of the underlying position increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing put options is that a Trust may incur a loss if the market value of the underlying position decreases and the option is exercised. In addition, the Trust risks not being able to enter into a closing transaction for the written option as the result of an illiquid market.

Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities: Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. In certain cases, one class will receive all of the interest (the interest-only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only or “PO” class). The yield to maturity on IOs is sensitive to the rate of principal repayments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and principal payments may have a material effect on yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Trust may not fully recoup its initial investment in IOs. Such securities will be considered liquid only if so determined in accordance with guidelines established by the Trustees.

Credit Default Swaps: Credit default swaps are agreements in which one party pays fixed periodic payments to a counterparty in consideration for a guarantee from the counterparty to make a specific payment should a negative credit event take place. Risks arise from the possible inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking-to-market” to reflect the market value of the swap. When the swap is terminated, a Trust will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Trust’s basis in the contract, if any.

The Trusts are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the swap. However, the Trusts closely monitor swaps and do not anticipate non-performance by any counterparty.

Total Return Swaps: Total return swaps are agreements in which one party commits to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Trust will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.

Interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount and receives a fixed rate of interest on the same notional principal amount for a specified period of time. Alternatively, a party may pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate. Interest rate swaps are efficient as asset/liability management tools. In more complex swaps, the notional principal amount may decline (or amortize) over time.

Swap Options: Swap options are similar to options on securities except that instead of selling or purchasing the right to buy or sell a security, the writer or purchaser of the swap option is granting or buying the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate swap agreement at any time before the expiration of the option. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options are recorded as liabilities or assets and are subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by a Trust on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commission, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or the proceeds from the sale in determining whether a Trust has realized a gain or loss on investment transactions.

The main risk that is associated with purchasing swap options is that the swap option expires without being exercised. In this case, the option expires worthless and the premium paid for the swap option is considered the loss. The main risk that is associated with the writing of a swap option is the market risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the interest rate swap underlying the written swap option.

Swap options may be used by the Trusts to manage the duration of the Trusts’ portfolios in a manner similar to more generic options described above.

Interest Rate Caps: Interest rate caps are similar to interest rate swaps, except that one party agrees to pay a fee, while the other party pays the excess, if any, of a floating rate over a specified fixed or floating rate.

Interest rate caps are intended to both manage the duration of the Trusts’ portfolios and their exposure to changes in short-term interest rates. Owning interest rate caps reduces a portfolio’s duration, making it less sensitive to changes in interest rates from a market value perspective. The effect on income involves protection from rising short-term interest rates, which the Trusts experience primarily in the form of leverage.

The Trusts are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the interest rate cap. However, the Trusts do not anticipate non-performance by any counterparty.

Transaction fees paid or received by the Trusts are recognized as assets or liabilities and amortized or accreted into interest expense or income over the life of the interest rate cap. The asset or liability is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the interest rate cap purchased or sold. Changes in the value of the interest rate cap are recognized as unrealized gains and losses.

Interest Rate Floors: Interest rate floors are similar to interest rate swaps, except that one party agrees to pay a fee, while the other party pays the deficiency, if any, of a floating rate under a specified fixed or floating rate.

Interest rate floors are used by the Trusts to both manage the duration of the portfolios and their exposure to changes in short-term interest rates. Selling interest rate floors reduces a portfolio’s duration, making it less sensitive to changes in interest rates from a market value perspective. The Trusts’ leverage provides extra income in a period of falling rates. Selling floors reduces some of that extra income by partially monetizing it as an up-front payment which the Trusts receive.

The Trusts are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the interest rate floor. However, the Trusts do not anticipate non-performance by any counterparty.

Transaction fees paid or received by the Trusts are recognized as assets or liabilities and amortized or accreted into interest expense or income over the life of the interest rate floor. The asset or liability is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the interest rate floor purchased or sold. Changes in the value of the interest rate floor are recognized as unrealized gains and losses.

Financial Futures Contracts: A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument for a set price on a future date. Initial margin deposits are made upon entering into futures contracts and can be either cash or securities. During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by marking-to-market on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are made or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, a Trust records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Trust’s basis in the contract.

Financial futures contracts, when used by the Trusts, help in maintaining a targeted duration. Futures contracts can be sold to effectively shorten an otherwise longer duration portfolio. In the same sense, futures contracts can be purchased to lengthen a portfolio that is shorter than its duration target. Thus, by buying or selling futures contracts, the Trusts may attempt to manage the duration of positions so that changes in interest rates do not change the duration of the portfolio unexpectedly.

Forward Currency Contracts: The Trusts enter into forward currency contracts primarily to facilitate settlement of purchases and sales of foreign securities and to help manage the overall exposure to foreign currency. A forward contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date (usually the security transaction settlement date) at a negotiated forward rate. In the event that a security fails to settle within the normal settlement period, the forward currency contract is renegotiated at a new rate. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the settlement value of the original and renegotiated forward contracts is isolated and is included in net realized gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions. Risks may arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contract.

Forward currency contracts, when used by the Trusts, help to manage the overall exposure to the foreign currency backing some of the investments held by the Trusts. Forward currency contracts are not meant to be used to eliminate all of the exposure to the foreign currency, rather they allow the Trusts to limit their exposure to foreign currency within a narrow band consistent with the objectives of the Trusts.

Foreign Currency Translation: Foreign currency amounts are translated into United States dollars on the following basis:


	(i)	market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange.

	(ii)	purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Trusts isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held at period end. Similarly, the Trusts isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of portfolio securities sold during the period.

Net realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses includes realized foreign exchange gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign portfolio securities, maturities of foreign reverse repurchase agreements, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of interest and discount recorded on the Trusts’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid and changes in unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses in the value of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin, including unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

Short Sales: The Trusts may make short sales of securities as a method of managing potential price declines in similar securities owned. When a Trust makes a short sale, it may borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale as collateral for its obligation to deliver the security upon conclusion of the sale. The Trusts may have to pay a fee to borrow the particular securities and may be obligated to pay over any payments received on such borrowed securities. A gain, limited to the price at which a Trust sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited as to dollar amount, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the market price is greater or less than the proceeds originally received.

Bonds Borrowed Agreements: In a bonds borrowed agreement, the Trust borrows securities from a third party, with the commitment that they will be returned to the lender on an agreed-upon date. Bonds borrowed agreements are primarily entered into to settle short positions. In a bonds borrowed agreement, the Trust’s prime broker or third party broker takes possession of the underlying collateral securities or cash to settle such short positions. The value of the underlying collateral securities or cash approximates the principal amount of the bonds borrowed transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that bonds borrowed transactions exceed one business day, the value of the collateral with any counterparty is marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. If the lender defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the lender of the security, realization of the collateral by the Trust may be delayed or limited.

Segregation: In cases in which the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) require a Trust to segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., when-issued securities, reverse repurchase agreements or futures contracts), each Trust will, consistent with certain interpretive letters issued by the Commission, designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated.

Federal Income Taxes: It is each Trust’s intention to continue to be treated as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute sufficient amounts of their taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provisions have been recorded. As part of a tax planning strategy, Broad Investment Grade has retained a portion of its taxable income and will pay excise tax on the undistributed amounts.

Dividends and Distributions: Each Trust declares and pays dividends and distributions to common shareholders monthly from net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains and if necessary other sources. Net long-term capital gains, if any, in excess of loss carry-forwards may be distributed in accordance with the 1940 Act. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences may be material.

Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each Trust’s Board, non-interested Trustees are required to 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 other BlackRock closed-end funds selected by the Trustees. These amounts are shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “Investments in affiliates”. This has the same economic effect for the Trustees as if the Trustees had invested the deferred amounts in such Trusts.

The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trust. Each Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of those Trusts selected by the Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations.

Other: Expenses that are directly related to one of the Trusts are charged directly to that Trust. Other operating expenses are generally prorated to the Trusts on the basis of relative net assets of all of the BlackRock Closed-End Trusts.

Note 2. Agreements

Each Trust has an Investment Management Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., serves as sub-advisor to the Trusts. BlackRock, Inc. is an indirect, majority owned subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.

Broad Investment Grade, High Yield, Income Opportunity and Income Trust each have an Administration Agreement with the Advisor. The Investment Management Agreement for Core Bond, Limited Duration and Strategic Bond covers both investment advisory and administration services.

Each Trust’s investment advisory fee paid to the Advisor is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate, 0.55% for Broad Investment Grade, 0.60% for Income Opportunity and 0.65% for Income Trust, of each Trust’s average net assets and 0.55% for Core Bond and Limited Duration, 1.05% for High Yield and 0.75% for Strategic Bond, of each Trust’s average weekly managed assets. “Managed assets” means the total assets of a Trust (including any assets attributable to any borrowing that may be outstanding) minus the sum of accrued liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage). The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fees or other expenses on Strategic Bond as a percentage of its average weekly managed assets as follows: 0.20% for the first five years of the Trust’s operations, 0.15% in year six, 0.10% in year seven and 0.05% in year eight.

The Advisor pays BFM fees for its sub-advisory services.

The administration fee paid to the Advisor by Broad Investment Grade, High Yield, Income Opportunity and Income Trust is computed weekly and payable monthly based on an annual rate of 0.15%, 0.10%, 0.10%, and 0.15%, respectively of the Trusts’ average weekly managed assets.

Pursuant to the Investment Management and Administration agreements, the Advisor provides continuous supervision of the investment portfolio and pays the compensation of officers of each Trust who are affiliated persons of the Advisor, as well as occupancy and certain clerical and accounting costs of each Trust. Each Trust bears all other costs and expenses, which include reimbursements to the Advisor for cost of employees that provide pricing, secondary market support, and compliance services to each Trust. For the six months ended April 30, 2006, the Trusts reimbursed the Advisor the following amounts:


Trust	Amount		Trust	Amount

Broad Investment Grade	$	1,810	Income Trust	$	15,416
Core Bond		12,308	Limited Duration		12,308
High Yield		1,240	Strategic Bond		3,074
Income Opportunity		12,721

Pursuant to the terms of each Trust’s custody agreement, each Trust may receive earnings credits from its custodian for positive cash balances maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. These credits are shown on the Statements of Operations as “fees paid indirectly”.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLANS

Pursuant to each Trust’s respective Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), shareholders of Broad Investment Grade, Income Opportunity and Income Trust may elect, while shareholders of Core Bond, High Yield, Limited Duration and Strategic Bond are automatically enrolled, to have all distributions of dividends and capital gains reinvested by Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Plan Agent”) in the respective Trust’s shares pursuant to the Plan. Shareholders who do not participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check and mailed directly to the shareholders of record (or if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Plan Agent, which serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Plan.

After Broad Investment Grade and/or Income Opportunity Trust declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants’ account, by the purchase of outstanding shares on the open market, on the Trust’s primary exchange or elsewhere (“open market purchases”). The Trust will not issue any new shares under the Plan.

After Core Bond, High Yield, Income Trust, Limited Duration and/or Strategic Bond declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants’ account, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Trust (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by open market purchases. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market premium”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV on the date the shares are issued. However, if the NAV is less than 95% of the market price on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV is greater than the market value per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market discount”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases.

The Plan Agent’s fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be paid by each Trust. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any Federal income tax that may be payable on such dividends or distributions.

Each Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, each Trust reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Participants who request a sale of shares through the Plan Agent are subject to a $2.50 sales fee and a $0.15 per share sold brokerage commisson. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021 or (800) 699-1BFM.

Based in New York, BlackRock currently manages assets for institutional and individual investors worldwide through a variety of equity, fixed income, cash management and alternative investment products. The new company will operate under the BlackRock name and be governed by a board of directors with a majority of independent members. The new company will offer a full range of equity, fixed income, cash management and alternative investment products with strong representation in both retail and institutional channels, in the U.S. and in non-U.S. markets. It will have over 4,500 employees in 18 countries and a major presence in most key markets, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Asia, Australia, the Middle East and Europe. Merrill Lynch will own no more than 49.8% of the total issued and outstanding capital stock of the new company and it will own no more than 45% of the new company’s common stock, and The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.

Completion of the transaction is subject to various regulatory approvals, client consents, approval by BlackRock shareholders and customary conditions.

The Trusts will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including annual and semi-annual reports and proxy statements, to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly called “householding” and is intended to reduce expenses and eliminate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Trusts at (800) 699-1BFM.

The Trusts have delegated to the Advisor the voting of proxies relating to their voting securities pursuant to the Advisor’s proxy voting policies and procedures. You may obtain a copy of these proxy voting policies and procedures, without charge, by calling (800) 699-1BFM. These policies and procedures are also available on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) at http://www.sec.gov.
