BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:BLK) today announced the dates for the partial redemptions of auction rate preferred shares (ARPS) issued by 49 of the 60 BlackRock tax-exempt fixed income closed-end funds that currently have ARPS outstanding. The announced redemptions total approximately $488 million and, when taken together with BlackRock’s previously announced redemptions of ARPS, represent more than $3.19 billion of BlackRock’s total outstanding ARPS issued across 66 of its taxable and tax-exempt closed-end funds.

Each of the funds will be using tender option bonds (TOBs) to finance the partial redemption of its ARPS. TOBs are floating rate securities issued by trusts into which a fund has deposited municipal securities. The amount of ARPS being redeemed at this time varies by fund and ranges from 0.4% to 35.8% of the ARPS outstanding for each fund. The ability to utilize TOBs in place of ARPS varies by each fund based, in part, on the eligibility of its underlying municipal bonds for TOBs programs. ARPS refinancing utilizing TOBs is not currently feasible for certain BlackRock funds where the availability of a fund’s municipal bonds eligible for creating TOBs is limited. The extent to which a fund is able to use TOBs to redeem ARPS depends on market conditions, the fund’s portfolio composition, the cost of liquidity and the willingness of liquidity providers to support TOBs, among other factors.

Redemptions will be allocated pro rata among the various series of ARPS of each fund. The Depository Trust Company (DTC), the securities’ holder of record, will determine by random lottery how a partial series redemption will be allocated among each participant broker-dealer account and each participant broker-dealer will determine how to allocate each redemption among the holders of the relevant series of ARPS held by it.

For more information on the specific BlackRock tax-exempt fixed income closed-end fund ARPS that are to be redeemed, including CUSIP numbers and redemption dates, please see the redemption schedule included in this press release.

BlackRock will continue to keep market participants and shareholders informed of its closed-end funds’ progress to redeem ARPS via press releases and on BlackRock’s website at www.blackrock.com.
