*In order to comply with the requirements of Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), the Fund noted above posted to the DTC bulletin board and sent to its shareholders of record as of the applicable record date a Section 19 notice with the previous distribution payment. The Section 19 notice was provided for informational purposes only and not for tax reporting purposes. This information can be found in the “Closed-End Funds” section of www.blackrock.com. As applicable, the final determination of the source and tax characteristics of all distributions in 2024 will be made after the end of the year.

Each Fund’s ability to maintain its declared distribution amount will depend on a number of factors, such as the amount and stability of investment income earned by the Fund, its asset mix, portfolio turnover, performance of its investments, level of retained earnings, the amount of leverage utilized by the Fund and the effects thereof, the costs of such leverage, the movement of interest rates for municipal bonds and general market conditions.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about a Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the Fund’s current distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s dividend policy. 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 is paid back to the shareholder. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect a Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income.’ When distributions exceed total return performance, the difference will reduce the Fund’s net asset value.
