The BlackRock closed-end funds (the “Funds”) listed below

outstanding common shares (the “Shares”).
Each Tender Offer commenced on October 15, 2024 and expired at
5:00 p.m. Eastern time on November 15, 2024.
Based on preliminary information, the number of Shares properly
tendered for each Fund and not withdrawn is noted in the table

Based on the preliminary results shown above, because the Tender
Offer was oversubscribed for each Fund, the relative number of
Shares that will be purchased from each shareholder is expected to
be prorated based on the number of Shares properly tendered for the
Fund. The purchase price of properly tendered and accepted Shares
for each Fund will be 98% of the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) as
of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on
November 18, 2024, the business day immediately following the
expiration date of the Tender Offer. The above-indicated results
are based on preliminary information, are subject to adjustment and
should not be regarded as final. Each Fund expects to announce the
final results of its Tender Offer, including the pro-ration factor,
if applicable, on or about November 18, 2024.
Questions regarding the Tender Offers may be directed to
