A Summary From Your Funds Portfolio Managers (unaudited)
We are pleased to provide you with this stockholder report for Small Cap Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc. The Fund is advised by IQ Investment Advisors LLC and sub-advised by BlackRock Investment Management, LLC.
The investment objectives of Small Cap Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc. (the Fund) are to provide stockholders with a high level of income, with a secondary goal of capital appreciation. The Fund pursues its investment objectives principally through a two-part strategy. First, the Fund will invest in a statistically selected sample of stocks included in the Russell 2000 ® Index (the Index) and/or other investments that have economic characteristics similar to the securities that comprise the Index, which may include futures, forward, swap and option contracts based on the Index, as well as other investment funds with a composition similar to that of the Index. Second, the Fund will write (sell) call options on the Index or on exchange-traded funds (ETFs) which seek to track the performance of the Index with respect to some or all of the value of its assets. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.
For the annual period ended December 31, 2009, the Fund had a total investment return as set forth in the table below, based on the change per share in net asset value of $9.55 to $9.81.

For more detail with regard to the Funds total investment return based on a change in the per share market value of the Funds Common Stock (as measured by the trading price of the Funds shares on the New York Stock Exchange), please refer to the Financial Highlights section of this report.
As a closed-end fund, the Funds shares may trade in the secondary market at a premium or discount to the Funds net asset value. As a result, total investment returns based on changes in the market value of the Funds Common Stock can vary significantly from total investment returns based on changes in the Funds net asset value.

For Fund portfolio compliance purposes, the Funds industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or
more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.
Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:
|
Level 1 price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities |
|
Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|
Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Funds policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 (a) of the Notes to Financial Statements.

SMALL CAP PREMIUM & DIVIDEND INCOME FUND INC. | DECEMBER 31, 2009 | 13 |
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Significant Accounting Policies:
Small Cap Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc. (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company with a fixed term of approximately five years. The current expected termination date of the Fund is on or about May 21, 2010. The Funds financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which may require the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The Fund determines and makes available for publication the net asset value of its Common Stock on a daily basis. The Funds Common Stock shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol RCC.
In July 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) became the single official source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. These changes and the Codification itself do not change GAAP. Other than the manner in which new accounting guidance is referenced, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Fund´s financial statements.
Investing in the Fund involves certain risks and the Fund may not be able to achieve its intended results for a variety of reasons, including, among others, the possibility that the Fund may not be able to structure derivative investments as defined below as anticipated. Because the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate, there is a risk that you will lose money. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.
(a) Valuation of investments Equity securities that are held by the Fund that are traded on stock exchanges or the NASDAQ Global Market are valued at the last sale price or official close price on the exchange, as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the last available bid price for long positions, and at the last available asked price for short positions. In cases where equity securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by or under the authority of the
Board of Directors of the Fund. Long positions traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, NASDAQ Capital Market or Bulletin Board are valued at the last available bid price or yield equivalent obtained from one or more dealers or pricing services approved by the Board of Directors of the Fund. Short positions traded in the OTC market are valued at the last available asked price. Portfolio securities that are traded both in the OTC market and on an exchange are valued according to the broadest and most representative market.
Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices at the close of the options market in which the options trade. Options traded in the OTC market are valued at the last asked price (options written) or the last bid price (options purchased). The value of swaps, including interest rate swaps, caps and floors, will be determined by reference to the value of the components when such components consist of securities for which market quotations are available. In the absence of obtainable quotations, swaps will be valued by obtaining dealer quotations. Financial futures contracts and options thereon, which are traded on exchanges, are valued at their last sale price as of the close of such exchanges. Obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost unless the investment adviser believes that this method no longer produces fair valuations.
The Fund employs pricing services to provide certain securities prices for the Fund. Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors of the Fund, including valuations furnished by the pricing services retained by the Fund, which may use a matrix system for valuations. The procedures of a pricing service and its valuations are reviewed by the officers of the Fund under the general supervision of the Funds Board of Directors. Such valuations and procedures will be reviewed periodically by the Board of Directors of the Fund.
Generally, trading in U.S. government securities, money market instruments and certain fixed income securities, is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. The values of such securities used in computing the net asset value of the Funds shares are determined as of such times. Overnight Time Deposits are valued at the amount deposited each day. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of the Funds net
14 | SMALL CAP PREMIUM & DIVIDEND INCOME FUND INC. | DECEMBER 31, 2009 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
asset value. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, those securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds Board of Directors or by the investment adviser using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the Funds Board of Directors.
(b) Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) A portion of distributions received from REITs may constitute a return of capital. During the year an amount, based upon prior experience and guidance from the REITs is reclassified from dividend income and recorded as an adjustment to basis of the REIT holdings. The adjustment is a reduction in basis and is reflected in either unrealized appreciation (depreciation) or realized gain (loss).
(c) Derivative financial instruments The Fund may engage in various portfolio investment strategies both to enhance its returns or as a proxy for a direct investment in securities underlying the Funds index. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the contract due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security or index, or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The counterparty, for certain instruments, may pledge cash or securities as collateral.
Derivatives may be volatile and involve significant risk, such as, among other things, credit risk, currency risk, leverage risk and liquidity risk. They also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and correlation risk (i.e., the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly, or to any degree, with the underlying asset, interest rate or index). Using derivatives can disproportionately increase losses and reduce opportunities for gains when security prices, indices, currency rates or interest rates are changing in unexpected ways. The Fund may suffer disproportionately heavy losses relative to the amount of its investments in derivative contracts.
Derivative instruments utilized by the Fund are defined below and delineated in the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Capital and the Statement of Operations of the Fund. As the Fund utilized more than one type of derivative in the period covered by this report, the following table summarizes the use of derivative investments in the current period:

Options The Fund will purchase and write call options. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. When a security is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the security acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the security sold. When an option expires (or the Fund enters into a closing transaction), the Fund realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium paid or received). When cash is received as collateral for purchased options, the Fund may pay interest to the option writer. Alternatively, the counterparty may pledge securities as collateral. Written and purchased options are non-income producing investments. |
Writing (selling) covered call options subjects the Fund to certain additional risks. The Fund, by writing covered call options, will forgo the opportunity to benefit from potential increases in the value of the equity investments above the exercise prices of the options, but will continue to bear the risk of declines in the value of the equity investments. The premiums received from the options may not be sufficient to offset any losses sustained from the volatility of the equity securities over time.
The premium received from writing options and amounts available for distribution from the Funds options may decrease in declining interest rate environments. The value of the equity investments also may be influenced by
SMALL CAP PREMIUM & DIVIDEND INCOME FUND INC. | DECEMBER 31, 2009 | 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
changes in interest rates. Higher yielding equity investments and those issuers whose businesses are substantially affected by changes in interest rates may be particularly sensitive to interest rate risk. A summary of option transactions is found in Note 3, Investments.
|
Financial futures contracts The Fund may purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on such financial futures contracts. Financial futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Upon entering into a contract, the Fund deposits, and maintains as collateral, such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation/depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchanges clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. |
(d) Income taxation It is the Funds policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its stockholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Management has evaluated the tax status of the Fund, and has determined that taxes do not have a material impact on the Funds financial statements. The Fund files U.S. and various state tax returns. To the best of the Funds knowledge, no income tax returns are currently under examination. Tax years of the Fund open at this time are calendar years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
(e) Security transactions and investment income Security transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis.
(f) Dividends and distributions Dividends and distributions paid by the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates.
Portions of the distributions paid by the Fund during the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were characterized as a tax return of capital.
As the Fund is liquidating in 2010, no distributions other than the final liquidating distribution is expected in 2010.
(g) Reclassifications Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The following permanent differences as of December 31, 2009 attributable to non-deductible expenses and the sale of stock of passive foreign investment companies were reclassified to the following accounts:
Accumulated distributions in excess of net investment

4. Common Stock Transactions:
The Fund is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of stock, par value $.001 per share, all of which were initially classified as Common Stock. The Board of Directors is authorized, however, to classify and reclassify any unissued shares of Common Stock without approval of the holders of Common Stock.
Shares issued and outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2009 increased by 142,348 as a result of dividend investments. Shares issued and outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased by 206,725 as a result of a repurchase offer.
Subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, the Fund will make offers to repurchase its shares at annual (approximately 12-month) intervals.

5. Distributions to Stockholders:

This amount will be available to offset like amounts of any future taxable gains. Please note that the current expected termination of the Fund is on or about May 21, 2010. |
** | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains is attributable primarily to the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain financial futures contracts and options, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain securities that are part of a straddle and other book/tax temporary differences. |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Small Cap Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and capital, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Small Cap Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc. (the Fund) at December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as financial statements) are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the financial highlights for the three years ended December 31, 2008 and the period ended December 31, 2005 were audited by other independent auditors whose report, dated February 27, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
As noted in Footnote 1, the Fund will liquidate on or about May 21, 2010.

Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan
How the Plan Works The Fund offers a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the Plan) under which distributions paid by the Fund are automatically reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock of the Fund. The Plan is administered on behalf of the shareholders by BNY Mellon Shareowner Services (the Plan Agent). Under the Plan, whenever the Fund declares a distribution, participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in shares of Common Stock of the Fund. The Plan Agent will acquire the shares for the participants account either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized shares of the Fund (newly issued shares) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding shares of Common Stock on the open market on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere. If, on the distribution payment date, the Funds net asset value per share is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (a condition often referred to as a market premium), the Plan Agent will invest the distribution amount in newly issued shares. If the Funds net asset value per share is greater than the market price per share (a condition often referred to as a market discount), the Plan Agent will invest the distribution amount by purchasing on the open market additional shares. If the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full distribution amount in open market purchases, or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Agent will invest any uninvested portion in newly issued shares. The shares acquired are credited to each shareholders account. The amount credited is determined by dividing the dollar amount of the distribution by either (i) when the shares are newly issued, the net asset value per share on the date the shares are issued or (ii) when shares are purchased in the open market, the average purchase price per share.
Participation in the Plan Participation in the Plan is automatic, that is, a shareholder is automatically enrolled in the Plan when he or she purchases shares of Common Stock of the Fund unless the shareholder specifically elects not to participate in the Plan. Shareholders who elect not to participate will receive all distributions in cash. Shareholders who do not wish to participate in the Plan must advise the Plan Agent in writing (at the address set forth below) that they elect not to participate in the Plan. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by writing to the Plan Agent.
Benefits of the Plan The Plan provides an easy, convenient way for shareholders to make additional, regular investments in the Fund. The Plan promotes a long-term strategy of investing at a lower cost. All shares acquired pursuant to the Plan receive voting rights. In addition, if the market price plus
commissions of the Funds shares is above the net asset value, participants in the Plan will receive shares of the Fund for less than they could otherwise purchase them and with a cash value greater than the value of any cash distribution they would have received. However, there may not be enough shares available in the market to make distributions in shares at prices below the net asset value. Also, since the Fund does not redeem shares, the price on resale may be more or less than the net asset value.
Plan Fees There are no enrollment fees or brokerage fees for participating in the Plan. The Plan Agents service fees for handling the reinvestment of distributions are paid for by the Fund. However, brokerage commissions may be incurred when the Fund purchases shares on the open market and shareholders will pay a pro rata share of any such commissions.
Tax Implications The automatic reinvestment of distributions will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such distributions. Therefore, income and capital gains may still be realized even though shareholders do not receive cash. If, when the Funds shares are trading at a market premium, the Fund issues shares pursuant to the Plan that have a greater fair market value than the amount of cash reinvested, it is possible that all or a portion of the discount from the market value (which may not exceed 5% of the fair market value of the Funds shares) could be viewed as a taxable distribution. If the discount is viewed as a taxable distribution, it is also possible that the taxable character of this discount would be allocable to all the shareholders, including shareholders who do not participate in the Plan. Thus, shareholders who do not participate in the Plan might be required to report as ordinary income a portion of their distributions equal to their allocable share of the discount.
Contact Information All correspondence concerning the Plan, including any questions about the Plan, should be directed to the Plan Agent at BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, P.O. Box 358035, Pittsburgh, PA 15252-8035, Telephone: 877-296-3711.

Bank of America may share any of the categories of Customer Information among our companies, as permitted by law. For example, sharing information allows us to use information about your ATM, credit card and check card transactions to identify any unusual activity, and then contact you to determine if your card has been lost or stolen.
We occasionally receive medical or health information from a customer if, for example, a customer applies for insurance from us. We do not share medical or health information, including information received from third parties, among our companies, except to maintain or collect on accounts, process transactions, service customer requests or perform insurance functions to the extent permitted by law.
Managing information with companies that work for us
We may share any of the categories of Customer Information with companies that work for us, including companies located outside the United

Privacy Policy (continued)
States. All nonaffiliated companies that act on our behalf and receive Customer Information from us are contractually obligated to keep the information we provide to them confidential, and to use the Customer Information we share only to provide the services we ask them to perform. These companies may include financial service providers, such as payment processing companies, and nonfinancial companies, such as check printing and data processing companies.
In addition, we may share any of the categories of Customer Information with companies that work for us in order to provide marketing support and other services, such as a service provider that distributes marketing materials. These companies may help us to market our own products and services or other products and services that we believe may be of interest to you. Please note that some of our own companies may provide marketing support and other services for us as well.
Sharing information with third parties (for customers with credit cards and Sponsored Accounts)
We may share Identification Information, Transaction and Experience Information, as well as Other General Information we collect about each of your (1) Bank of America credit card account(s) and (2) Sponsored Accounts at Bank of America, with selected third parties.
1. | Credit card account information, whether co-branded or not, may be shared with third parties. |
2. | Sponsored Account information may be shared with third parties. Sponsored Accounts are non-credit card accounts or services provided by Bank of America that are also endorsed, co-branded or sponsored by other organizations. Examples of these organizations include colleges, sporting teams, retailers and other affinity organizations, such as charities. Sponsored Accounts may include deposit accounts or other banking services provided by Bank of America, such as a savings account co-branded with a baseball team. You will know whether an account is a Sponsored Account by the appearance of the name or logo of the sponsoring organization on account materials, such as statements and marketing materials. |
If you are unsure whether any of your accounts are Sponsored Accounts, please contact 1.888.341.5000.
We may share information about credit cards and Sponsored Accounts with selected third parties, including:
|
Financial services companies (such as insurance agencies or companies and mortgage brokers and organizations with whom we have agreements to jointly market financial products); |
|
Nonfinancial companies (such as retailers, travel companies and membership organizations); and |
|
Other companies (such as nonprofit organizations). |
The sharing of information, as described in this section, is limited to credit card and Sponsored Account information. Please see Section 4, Honoring your choices , to learn more about your opt-out choices.
Disclosing information in other situations
We also may disclose any of the categories of Customer Information to the following third parties, including third parties located outside the United States:
|
To government agencies, self-regulatory organizations and regulatory law enforcement authorities as necessary or required; and |
|
As part of the sale, merger or similar change of a Bank of America business; and |
|
To other nonaffiliated third parties as requested by you or your authorized representative, or when required or permitted by law. |
For example, we may disclose information in the context of an investigation of terrorism, money laundering, fraud prevention or investigation, risk management and security, determining your eligibility for an insurance benefit or payment, and recording mortgages in public records.
Where you have a contractual relationship with a third party in connection with a product or service (such as through an outside investment manager or insurance provider), we may share information in accordance with such arrangement and the handling of information by that party will be subject to your agreement(s) with it. If you have a relationship with us through your employer, such as through your stock option or retirement plan, then we will share plan information with your employer and handle such information in accordance with plan agreements.
In addition, Merrill Lynch, a Bank of America affiliated broker-dealer, has entered into a Protocol with certain other brokerage firms under which your Financial Advisor may use your contact information (for example, your name and address) in the event your Financial Advisor joins one of these firms.
4. Honoring your choices
You have choices when it comes to how Bank of America shares and uses information.
Please note, if you choose to limit sharing or restrict marketing, you may not learn about beneficial offers.
Sharing among Bank of America companies
You may request that Application Information, Consumer Report Information and Information from Outside Sources not be shared among Bank of America companies.
For sharing among Bank of America companies, each customer may tell us his or her choice individually, or you may tell us the choice for any other customers who are joint account holders with you.

Privacy Policy (continued)
Direct marketing
You may choose not to receive direct marketing offers sent by postal mail, telephone and/or e-mail from Bank of America. Direct marketing offers from us may include information about products and services we believe may be of interest to you. Your choices apply to all marketing offers from us and from companies working for us. To minimize the amount of telephone solicitation our customers receive, Bank of America does not offer nonfinancial products and services through telephone solicitations.
If you elect not to receive direct marketing offers by postal mail, telephone and/or e-mail, please note that we may continue to contact you as necessary to service your account and for other nonmarketing purposes. You may also be contacted by your assigned account representative (for example, Financial Advisor or relationship manager), if applicable. Bank of America may also continue to provide marketing information in your regular account mailings and statements, including online and ATM communications.
Each customer may opt out of each direct marketing option individually. Since marketing programs may already be in progress, it may take up to 12 weeks for your postal mail opt-out to be fully effective. When you opt out of direct marketing by postal mail or telephone, your opt-out will last for five (5) years. After that, you may choose to renew your opt-out for another five-year period.
Sharing information with third parties
If you have a Bank of America credit card or Sponsored Account, you may request that we not share information about these accounts with third parties. If you request that we not share information with third parties, we may still share information:
|
Where permitted or required by law as discussed in Section 3 under Disclosing information in other situations; |
|
With our service providers as discussed in Section 3 under Managing information with companies that work for us; and |
|
With other financial companies with whom we have joint marketing agreements. |
If you have multiple credit cards or Sponsored Accounts, you will need to express your choice for each account separately. When any customer on a joint account requests that we not share with third parties, that choice is applied to the entire account.

Fundamental Periodic Repurchase Policy
The Board of Directors approved a fundamental policy whereby the Fund would adopt an interval fund structure pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act). As an interval fund, the Fund will make annual repurchase offers at net asset value (less repurchase fee not to exceed 2%) to all Fund shareholders. The percentage of outstanding shares that the Fund can repurchase in each offer will be established by the Funds Board of Directors shortly before the commencement of each offer, and will be between 5% and 25% of the Funds then outstanding shares.
The Fund has adopted the following fundamental policy regarding periodic repurchases:
a) The Fund will make offers to repurchase its shares at annual (approximately 12-month) intervals pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the Investment Company Act (Offers). The Board of Directors may place such conditions and limitations on an Offer, as may be permitted under Rule 23c-3.
b) The repurchase request deadline for each Offer, by which the Fund must receive repurchase requests submitted by shareholders in response to the most recent Offer, will be on approximately the anniversary of the prior years repurchase request deadline; and will be the fourteenth day prior to such exercise date; provided, that in the event that such day is not
a business day, the repurchase request deadline will be the business day subsequent to the fourteenth day prior to the exercise date of the call spreads and written call options (the Repurchase Request Deadline).
c) The maximum number of days between a Repurchase Request Deadline and the next repurchase pricing date will be fourteen days; provided that if the fourteenth day after a Repurchase Request Deadline is not a business day, the repurchase pricing date shall be the next business day (the Repurchase Pricing Date).
d) Offers may be suspended or postponed under certain circumstances, as provided for in Rule 23c-3. (For further details, see Note 4 to the Financial Statements.)
Under the terms of the Offer for the most recent annual period, the Fund offered to purchase up to 676,416 shares from shareholders at an amount per share equal to the Funds net asset value per share calculated as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange on July 17, 2009, nine business days after Monday, July 6, 2009, the Repurchase Request Deadline. As of July 17, 2009, 31,806 shares, or 0.24% of the Funds outstanding shares, were repurchased by the Fund at $9.29 per share (subject to a repurchase fee of up to 2% of the net asset value per share), the Funds net asset value per share was determined as of 4:00 p.m. EST, Friday, July 17, 2009.

1 The nature of the services include assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit of financial statements not included in Audit Fees.
2 The nature of the services include tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.
(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
The registrants audit committee (the Committee) has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the registrants affiliated service providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are a) consistent with the SECs auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (general pre-approval). However, such services will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $5,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 for all of the registrants the Committee oversees. Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting.
(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(h) The registrants audit committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrants investment adviser (not including any non-affiliated sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by the registrants investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountants independence.

Level 1 - price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities |
|
Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|
Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures
These Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (the Policy) for BlackRock Advisors, LLC and its affiliated U.S. registered investment advisers 1 (BlackRock) reflect our duty as a fiduciary under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the Advisers Act) to vote proxies in the best interests of our clients. BlackRock serves as the investment manager for investment companies, other commingled investment vehicles and/or separate accounts of institutional and other clients. The right to vote proxies for securities held in such accounts belongs to BlackRocks clients. Certain clients of BlackRock have retained the right to vote such proxies in general or in specific circumstances. 2 Other clients, however, have delegated to BlackRock the right to vote proxies for securities held in their accounts as part of BlackRocks authority to manage, acquire and dispose of account assets.
When BlackRock votes proxies for a client that has delegated to BlackRock proxy voting authority, BlackRock acts as the clients agent. Under the Advisers Act, an investment adviser is a fiduciary that owes each of its clients a duty of care and loyalty with respect to all services the adviser undertakes on the clients behalf, including proxy voting. BlackRock is therefore subject to a fiduciary duty to vote proxies in a manner BlackRock believes is consistent with the clients best interests, 3 whether or not the clients proxy voting is subject to the fiduciary standards of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). 4 When voting proxies for client accounts (including investment companies), BlackRocks primary objective is to make voting decisions solely in the best interests of clients and ERISA clients plan beneficiaries and participants. In fulfilling its obligations to clients, BlackRock will seek to act in a manner that it believes is most likely to enhance the economic value of the underlying securities held in client accounts. 5 It is imperative that BlackRock considers the interests of its clients, and not the interests of BlackRock, when voting proxies and that real (or perceived) material conflicts that may arise between BlackRocks interest and those of BlackRocks clients are properly addressed and resolved.
Advisers Act Rule 206(4)-6 was adopted by the SEC in 2003 and requires, among other things, that an investment adviser that exercises voting authority over clients proxy voting adopt policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the adviser votes proxies in the best interests of clients, discloses to its clients information about those policies and procedures and also discloses to clients how they may obtain information on how the adviser has voted their proxies.
In light of such fiduciary duties, the requirements of Rule 206(4)-6, and given the complexity of the issues that may be raised in connection with proxy votes, BlackRock has
1 The Policy does not apply to BlackRock Asset Management U.K. Limited and BlackRock Investment Managers International Limited, which are U.S. registered investment advisers based in the United Kingdom.
2 In certain situations, a client may direct BlackRock to vote in accordance with the clients proxy voting policies. In these situations, BlackRock will seek to comply with such policies to the extent it would not be inconsistent with other BlackRock legal responsibilities.
3 Letter from Harvey L. Pitt, Chairman, SEC, to John P.M. Higgins, President, Ram Trust Services (February 12, 2002) (Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act imposes a fiduciary responsibility to vote proxies fairly and in the best interests of clients); SEC Release No. IA-2106 (February 3, 2003).
4 DOL Interpretative Bulletin of Sections 402, 403 and 404 of ERISA at 29 C.F.R. 2509.94-2
5 Other considerations, such as social, labor, environmental or other policies, may be of interest to particular clients. While BlackRock is cognizant of the importance of such considerations, when voting proxies it will generally take such matters into account only to the extent that they have a direct bearing on the economic value of the underlying securities. To the extent that a BlackRock client desires to pursue a particular social, labor, environmental or other agenda through the proxy votes made for its securities held through BlackRock as investment adviser, BlackRock encourages the client to consider retaining direct proxy voting authority or to appoint independently a special proxy voting fiduciary other than BlackRock.

adopted these policies and procedures. BlackRocks Equity Investment Policy Oversight Committee, or a sub-committee thereof (the Committee), addresses proxy voting issues on behalf of BlackRock and its clients. 6 The Committee is comprised of senior members of BlackRocks Portfolio Management Group and advised by BlackRocks Legal and Compliance Department.
I. | SCOPE OF COMMITTEE RESPONSIBILITIES |
The Committee shall have the responsibility for determining how to address proxy votes made on behalf of all BlackRock clients, except for clients who have retained the right to vote their own proxies, either generally or on any specific matter. In so doing, the Committee shall seek to ensure that proxy votes are made in the best interests of clients, and that proxy votes are determined in a manner free from unwarranted or inappropriate influences. The Committee shall also oversee the overall administration of proxy voting for BlackRock accounts. 7
The Committee shall establish BlackRocks proxy voting guidelines, with such advice, participation and research as the Committee deems appropriate from portfolio managers, proxy voting services or other knowledgeable interested parties. As it is anticipated that there will not necessarily be a right way to vote proxies on any given issue applicable to all facts and circumstances, the Committee shall also be responsible for determining how the proxy voting guidelines will be applied to specific proxy votes, in light of each issuers unique structure, management, strategic options and, in certain circumstances, probable economic and other anticipated consequences of alternative actions. In so doing, the Committee may determine to vote a particular proxy in a manner contrary to its generally stated guidelines.
The Committee may determine that the subject matter of certain proxy issues are not suitable for general voting guidelines and requires a case-by-case determination, in which case the Committee may elect not to adopt a specific voting guideline applicable to such issues. BlackRock believes that certain proxy voting issues such as approval of mergers and other significant corporate transactions require investment analysis akin to investment decisions, and are therefore not suitable for general guidelines. The Committee may elect to adopt a common BlackRock position on certain proxy votes that are akin to investment decisions, or determine to permit portfolio managers to make individual decisions on how best to maximize economic value for the accounts for which they are responsible (similar to normal buy/sell investment decisions made by such portfolio managers). 8
While it is expected that BlackRock, as a fiduciary, will generally seek to vote proxies over which BlackRock exercises voting authority in a uniform manner for all BlackRock clients, the Committee, in conjunction with the portfolio manager of an account, may determine that the specific circumstances of such account require that such accounts proxies be voted differently due to such accounts investment objective or other factors that differentiate it from other accounts. In addition, on proxy votes that are akin to
6 Subject to the Proxy Voting Policies of Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Company FSB, the Committee may also function jointly as the Proxy Voting Committee for Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Company FSB trust accounts managed by personnel dually-employed by BlackRock.
7 The Committee may delegate day-to-day administrative responsibilities to other BlackRock personnel and/or outside service providers, as appropriate.
8 The Committee will normally defer to portfolio managers on proxy votes that are akin to investment decisions except for proxy votes that involve a material conflict of interest, in which case it will determine, in its discretion, the appropriate voting process so as to address such conflict.
2
investment decisions, BlackRock believes portfolio managers may from time to time legitimately reach differing but equally valid views, as fiduciaries for BlackRocks clients, on how best to maximize economic value in respect of a particular investment.
The Committee will also be responsible for ensuring the maintenance of records of each proxy vote, as required by Advisers Act Rule 204-2. 9 All records will be maintained in accordance with applicable law. Except as may be required by applicable legal requirements, or as otherwise set forth herein, the Committees determinations and records shall be treated as proprietary, nonpublic and confidential.
The Committee shall be assisted by other BlackRock personnel, as may be appropriate. In particular, the Committee has delegated to the BlackRock Operations Department responsibility for monitoring corporate actions and ensuring that proxy votes are submitted in a timely fashion. The Operations Department shall ensure that proxy voting issues are promptly brought to the Committees attention and that the Committees proxy voting decisions are appropriately disseminated and implemented.
To assist BlackRock in voting proxies, the Committee may retain the services of a firm providing such services. BlackRock has currently retained Risk Metrics Group, Inc. in that role. Risk Metrics Group, Inc. is an independent adviser that specializes in providing a variety of fiduciary-level proxy-related services to institutional investment managers, plan sponsors, custodians, consultants, and other institutional investors. The services provided to BlackRock may include, but are not limited to, in-depth research, voting recommendations (which the Committee is not obligated to follow), vote execution, and recordkeeping.
II. | SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES |
A. | Routine Consents |
BlackRock may be asked from time to time to consent to an amendment to, or grant a waiver under, a loan agreement, partnership agreement, indenture or other governing document of a specific financial instrument held by BlackRock clients. BlackRock will generally treat such requests for consents not as proxies subject to these Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures but as investment matters to be dealt with by the responsible BlackRock investment professionals, provided that such consents (i) do not relate to the election of a board of directors or appointment of auditors of a public company, and (ii) either (A) would not otherwise materially affect the structure, management or control of a public company, or (B) relate to a company in which BlackRock clients hold only interests in bank loans or debt securities and are consistent with customary standards and practices for such instruments.
B. | Securities on Loan |
Registered investment companies that are advised by BlackRock as well as certain of our advisory clients may participate in securities lending programs. Under most securities lending arrangements, securities on loan may not be voted by the lender (unless the loan is recalled). BlackRock believes that each client has the right to determine whether participating in a securities lending program enhances returns, to contract with the
9 The Committee may delegate the actual maintenance of such records to an outside service provider. Currently, the Committee has delegated the maintenance of such records to Institutional Shareholder Services.
3
securities lending agent of its choice and to structure a securities lending program, through its lending agent, that balances any tension between loaning and voting securities in a matter that satisfies such client. If client has decided to participate in a securities lending program, BlackRock will therefore defer to the clients determination and not attempt to seek recalls solely for the purpose of voting routine proxies as this could impact the returns received from securities lending and make the client a less desirable lender in a marketplace. Where a client retains a lending agent that is unaffiliated with BlackRock, BlackRock will generally not seek to vote proxies relating to securities on loan because BlackRock does not have a contractual right to recall such loaned securities for the purpose of voting proxies. Where BlackRock or an affiliate acts as the lending agent, BlackRock will also generally not seek to recall loaned securities for proxy voting purposes, unless the portfolio manager responsible for the account or the Committee determines that voting the proxy is in the clients best interest and requests that the security be recalled.
C. | Voting Proxies for Non-US Companies |
While the proxy voting process is well established in the United States, voting proxies of non-US companies frequently involves logistical issues which can affect BlackRocks ability to vote such proxies, as well as the desirability of voting such proxies. These issues include (but are not limited to): (i) untimely notice of shareholder meetings; (ii) restrictions on a foreigners ability to exercise votes; (iii) requirements to vote proxies in person; (iv) shareblocking (requirements that investors who exercise their voting rights surrender the right to dispose of their holdings for some specified period in proximity to the shareholder meeting); (v) potential difficulties in translating the proxy; and (vi) requirements to provide local agents with unrestricted powers of attorney to facilitate voting instructions.
As a consequence, BlackRock votes proxies of non-US companies only on a best-efforts basis. In addition, the Committee may determine that it is generally in the best interests of BlackRock clients not to vote proxies of companies in certain countries if the Committee determines that the costs (including but not limited to opportunity costs associated with shareblocking constraints) associated with exercising a vote generally are expected to outweigh the benefit the client will derive by voting on the issuers proposal. If the Committee so determines in the case of a particular country, the Committee (upon advice from BlackRock portfolio managers) may override such determination with respect to a particular issuers shareholder meeting if the Committee believes the benefits of seeking to exercise a vote at such meeting outweighs the costs, in which case BlackRock will seek to vote on a best-efforts basis.
D. | Securities Sold After Record Date |
With respect to votes in connection with securities held on a particular record date but sold from a client account prior to the holding of the related meeting, BlackRock may take no action on proposals to be voted on in such meeting.
4
E. | Conflicts of Interest |
From time to time, BlackRock may be required to vote proxies in respect of an issuer that is an affiliate of BlackRock (a BlackRock Affiliate), or a money management or other client of BlackRock (a BlackRock Client). 10 In such event, provided that the Committee is aware of the real or potential conflict, the following procedures shall apply:
1. | The Committee intends to adhere to the voting guidelines set forth herein for all proxy issues including matters involving BlackRock Affiliates and BlackRock Clients. If, however, the matter to be voted on represents a non-routine matter that is material to a BlackRock Affiliate or a BlackRock Client and the Committee does not reasonably believe it is able to follow its general voting guidelines (or if the particular proxy matter is not addressed in the guidelines) and vote impartially, the Committee may, in its discretion for the purposes of ensuring that an independent determination is reached, retain an independent fiduciary to advise the Committee on how to vote or to cast votes on behalf of BlackRocks clients; and |
2. | if the Committee determines not to retain an independent fiduciary, or does not desire to follow the advice of such independent fiduciary, the Committee shall determine how to vote the proxy after consulting with the BlackRock Portfolio Management Group and/or the BlackRock Legal and Compliance Department and concluding that the vote cast is in the clients best interest notwithstanding the conflict. |
III. | VOTING GUIDELINES |
The Committee has determined that it is appropriate and in the best interests of BlackRocks clients to adopt the following voting guidelines, which represent the Committees usual voting position on certain recurring proxy issues that are not expected to involve unusual circumstances. With respect to any particular proxy issue, however, the Committee may elect to vote differently than a voting guideline if the Committee determines that doing so is, in the Committees judgment, in the best interest of its clients. The guidelines may be reviewed at any time upon the request of any Committee member and may be amended or deleted upon the vote of a majority of voting Committee members present at a Committee meeting for which there is a quorum.
A. | Boards of Directors |
These proposals concern those issues submitted to shareholders relating to the composition of the Board of Directors of companies other than investment companies. As a general matter, the Committee believes that a companys Board of Directors (rather than shareholders) is most likely to have access to important, nonpublic information regarding a companys business and prospects, and is therefore best-positioned to set corporate policy and oversee management. The Committee therefore believes that the foundation of good corporate governance is the election of qualified, independent corporate directors who are likely to diligently represent the interests of shareholders and oversee management of the corporation in a manner that will seek to maximize shareholder value over time. In individual cases, the Committee may look at a Director nominees history of representing shareholder interests as a director of other companies, or other factors to the extent the Committee deems relevant.
10 Such issuers may include investment companies for which BlackRock provides investment advisory, administrative and/or other services.
5
The Committees general policy is to vote:
# | VOTE and DESCRIPTION |
A.1 | FOR nominees for director of United States companies in uncontested elections, except for nominees who |

|
voted to implement or renew a dead-hand poison pill |
|

|
are corporate insiders who serve on the audit, compensation or nominating committees or on a full Board that does not have such committees composed exclusively of independent directors |
|
on a case-by-case basis, have served as directors of other companies with allegedly poor corporate governance |
|
sit on more than six boards of public companies |
A.2 | FOR nominees for directors of non-U.S. companies in uncontested elections, except for nominees from whom the Committee determines to withhold votes due to the nominees poor records of representing shareholder interests, on a case-by-case basis |
A.3 | FOR proposals to declassify Boards of Directors, except where there exists a legitimate purpose for classifying boards |
A.4 | AGAINST proposals to classify Boards of Directors, except where there exists a legitimate purpose for classifying boards |
A.5 | AGAINST proposals supporting cumulative voting |
A.6 | FOR proposals eliminating cumulative voting |
A.7 | FOR proposals supporting confidential voting |

A.12 | AGAINST shareholder proposals requiring directors to own a minimum amount of company stock |
A.13 | FOR proposals requiring a majority of independent directors on a Board of Directors |
A.14 | FOR proposals to allow a Board of Directors to delegate powers to a committee or committees |
6
A.15 | FOR proposals to require audit, compensation and/or nominating committees of a Board of Directors to consist exclusively of independent directors |
A.16 | AGAINST shareholder proposals seeking to prohibit a single person from occupying the roles of chairman and chief executive officer or shareholder proposals requiring the position of chair be filled by an independent director |
A.17 | FOR proposals to elect account inspectors |
A.18 | FOR proposals to fix the membership of a Board of Directors at a specified size |
A.19 | FOR proposals permitting shareholder ability to nominate directors directly |
A.20 | AGAINST proposals to eliminate shareholder ability to nominate directors directly |
A.21 | FOR proposals permitting shareholder ability to remove directors directly |
A.22 | AGAINST proposals to eliminate shareholder ability to remove directors directly |
A.23 | FOR precatory and binding resolutions requesting that the board change the companys by-laws to stipulate that directors need to be elected with an affirmative majority of votes cast, provided it does not conflict with the state law where the company is incorporated. Binding resolutions need to allow for a carve-out for a plurality vote standard when there are more nominees than board seats |
A.24 | AGAINST shareholder proposals requiring two candidates per board seat |
A.25 | AGAINST proposals to eliminate entirely directors and officers liability for monetary damages for violating the duty of care |
A.26 | AGAINST indemnification proposals that would expand coverage beyond just legal expenses to liability for acts, such as negligence, that are more serious violations of fiduciary obligation than mere carelessness |
A.27 | AGAINST proposals that would expand the scope of indemnification to provide for mandatory indemnification of company officials in connection with acts that previously the company was permitted to provide indemnification for at the discretion of the company's board (i.e. permissive indemnification), but that previously the company was not required to indemnify |
A.28 | FOR only those proposals providing such expanded coverage in cases when a directors or officers legal defense was unsuccessful if both of the following apply: |
|
If the director was found to have acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed was in the best interests of the company; and |
|
If only the directors legal expenses would be covered |
7
A.29 | AGAINST proposals that provide that directors may be removed only for cause |
A.30 | FOR proposals to restore shareholders ability to remove directors with or without cause |
A.31 | AGAINST proposals that provide that only continuing directors may elect replacements to fill board vacancies |
A.32 | FOR proposals that permit shareholders to elect directors to fill board vacancies, provided that it is understood that investment company directors may fill Board vacancies as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended |
B. | Auditors |
These proposals concern those issues submitted to shareholders related to the selection of auditors. As a general matter, the Committee believes that corporate auditors have a responsibility to represent the interests of shareholders and provide an independent view on the propriety of financial reporting decisions of corporate management. While the Committee will generally defer to a corporations choice of auditor, in individual cases, the Committee may look at an auditors history of representing shareholder interests as auditor of other companies, to the extent the Committee deems relevant.
The Committees general policy is to vote:
B.1 | FOR approval of independent auditors, except for |
|
auditors that have a financial interest in, or material association with, the company they are auditing, and are therefore believed by the Committee not to be independent |
|
auditors who have rendered an opinion to any company which in the Committees opinion is either not consistent with best accounting practices or not indicative of the companys financial situation |
|
on a case-by-case basis, auditors who in the Committees opinion provide a significant amount of non-audit services to the company |
B.2 | FOR proposals seeking authorization to fix the remuneration of auditors |
B.3 | FOR approving internal statutory auditors |
B.4 | FOR proposals for audit firm rotation, except for proposals that would require rotation after a period of less than 5 years |
C. | Compensation and Benefits |
These proposals concern those issues submitted to shareholders related to management compensation and employee benefits. As a general matter, the Committee favors disclosure of a companys compensation and benefit policies and opposes excessive compensation, but believes that compensation matters are normally best determined by a corporations board of directors, rather than shareholders. Proposals to micro-manage a companys compensation practices or to set arbitrary restrictions on compensation or benefits will therefore generally not be supported.
8
The Committees general policy is to vote:
C.1 | IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECOMMENDATION OF ISS on compensation plans if the ISS recommendation is based solely on whether or not the companys plan satisfies the allowable cap as calculated by ISS. If the recommendation of ISS is based on factors other than whether the plan satisfies the allowable cap the Committee will analyze the particular proposed plan. This policy applies to amendments of plans as well as to initial approvals. |
C.2 | FOR proposals to eliminate retirement benefits for outside directors |
C.3 | AGAINST proposals to establish retirement benefits for outside directors |
C.4 | FOR proposals approving the remuneration of directors or of supervisory board members |
C.5 | AGAINST proposals to reprice stock options |
C.6 | FOR proposals to approve employee stock purchase plans that apply to all employees. This policy applies to proposals to amend ESPPs if the plan as amended applies to all employees. |
C.7 | FOR proposals to pay retirement bonuses to directors of Japanese companies unless the directors have served less than three years |
C.8 | AGAINST proposals seeking to pay outside directors only in stock |
C.9 | FOR proposals seeking further disclosure of executive pay or requiring companies to report on their supplemental executive retirement benefits |
C.10 | AGAINST proposals to ban all future stock or stock option grants to executives |
C.11 | AGAINST option plans or grants that apply to directors or employees of related companies without adequate disclosure of the corporate relationship and justification of the option policy |
C.12 | FOR proposals to exclude pension plan income in the calculation of earnings used in determining executive bonuses/compensation |
C.13 | FOR shareholder proposals based on a case-by-case analysis that request the Board to establish a pay-for-superior performance standard in the company's executive compensation plan for senior executives |
C.14 | AGAINST executive compensation plans in which there is a no connection between the CEOs pay and company performance (e.g., the plan calls for an increase in pay and when there has been a decrease in company performance |
C.15 | WITHHOLD votes from the Compensation Committee members when company compensation plan has no connection between executive pay and company performance |
C.16 | FOR shareholder proposals that call for non-binding shareholder ratification of the compensation of the named Executive Officers and the accompanying narrative disclosure of material factors provided to understand the Summary Compensation Table |
9
C.17 | FOR shareholder proposals seeking disclosure regarding the company, Board, or Board committees use of compensation consultants, such as company name, business relationship(s) and fees paid |
C.18 | AGAINST shareholder proposals seeking to set absolute levels on compensation or otherwise dictate the amount or form of compensation |
C.19 | FOR shareholder proposals to require golden parachutes or executive severance agreements to be submitted for shareholder ratification, unless the proposal requires shareholder approval prior to entering into employment contracts |
C.20 | FOR shareholder proposals requesting to put extraordinary benefits contained in Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (SERP) agreements to a shareholder vote unless the companys executive pension plans do not contain excessive benefits beyond what is offered under employee-wide plans |
C.21 | FOR shareholder proposals requesting to limit the executive benefits provided under the companys supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) by limiting covered compensation to a senior executives annual salary and excluding all incentive or bonus pay from the SERPs definition of covered compensation used to establish such benefits |
C.22 | AGAINST the equity plan if any of the following factors apply: |
|
The total cost of the companys equity plans is unreasonable; |
|
The plan expressly permits the repricing of stock options without prior shareholder approval; |
|
There is a disconnect between CEO pay and the companys performance; and/or |
|
The plan is a vehicle for poor compensation practices |
C.23 | FOR equity plans for non-employee director on a case-by-case basis based on the structure of the plan |
C.24 | AGAINST plans if the company has a history of repricing options without shareholder approval, and the applicable listing standards would not preclude them from doing so |
C.25 | FOR shareholder proposals to put option repricings to a shareholder vote |
D. | Capital Structure |
These proposals relate to various requests, principally from management, for approval of amendments that would alter the capital structure of a company, such as an increase in authorized shares. As a general matter, the Committee will support requests that it believes enhance the rights of common shareholders and oppose requests that appear to be unreasonably dilutive.
10
The Committees general policy is to vote:
D.1 | AGAINST proposals seeking authorization to issue shares without preemptive rights except for issuances up to 10% of a non-US companys total outstanding capital |
D.2 | FOR management proposals seeking preemptive rights or seeking authorization to issue shares with preemptive rights |
D.3 | FOR management proposals approving share repurchase programs |
D.4 | FOR management proposals to split a companys stock |
D.5 | FOR management proposals to denominate or authorize denomination of securities or other obligations or assets in Euros |
D.6 | FOR proposals requiring a company to expense stock options (unless the company has already publicly committed to do so by a certain date) |
D.7 | AGAINST proposals to create a new class of common stock with superior voting rights |
D.8 | AGAINST proposals at companies with dual-class capital structures to increase the number of authorized shares of the class of stock that has superior voting rights |
D.9 | FOR proposals to create a new class of nonvoting or sub-voting common stock if: |
|
It is intended for financing purposes with minimal or no dilution to current shareholders; and |
|
It is not designed to preserve the voting power of an insider or significant shareholder |
D.10 | AGAINST proposals authorizing the creation of new classes of preferred stock with unspecified voting, conversion, dividend distribution, and other rights (blank check preferred stock) |
D.11 | FOR proposals to authorize preferred stock in cases where the company specifies the voting, dividend, conversion, and other rights of such stock and the terms of the preferred stock appear reasonable |
D.12 | FOR management proposals to implement a reverse stock split when the number of authorized shares will be proportionately reduced |
D.13 | FOR management proposals to implement a reverse stock split to avoid delisting |
D.14 | FOR management proposals to increase the common share authorization for a stock split or share dividend |
D.15 | FOR management proposals to institute open-market share repurchase plans in which all shareholders may participate on equal terms |
E. | Corporate Charter and By-Laws |
These proposals relate to various requests for approval of amendments to a corporations charter or by-laws, principally for the purpose of adopting or redeeming poison pills. As a general matter, the Committee will oppose poison pill provisions unless, after consultation with the portfolio managers, it is determined that supporting the poison pill is in the best interest of the client.
11
The Committees general policy is to vote:
E.1 | AGAINST proposals seeking to adopt a poison pill |
E.2 | FOR proposals seeking to redeem a poison pill |
E.3 | FOR proposals seeking to have poison pills submitted to shareholders for ratification |
E.4 | FOR management proposals to change the companys name |
E.5 | AGAINST proposals to require a supermajority shareholder vote |
E.6 | FOR proposals to lower supermajority vote requirements |
E.7 | AGAINST proposals giving the board exclusive authority to amend the bylaws |
E.8 | FOR proposals giving the board the ability to amend the bylaws in addition to shareholders |
E.9 | CASE-BY-CASE on proposals to change a companys state of incorporation, taking into consideration both financial and corporate governance concerns, including: |
|
The reasons for reincorporating |
|
A comparison of the governance provisions |
|
Comparative economic benefits, and |
|
A comparison of the jurisdiction laws |
E.10 | FOR re-incorporation when the economic factors outweigh any neutral or negative governance changes |
E.11 | FOR proposals to restore, or provide shareholders with rights of appraisal |
F. | Corporate Meetings |
These are routine proposals relating to various requests regarding the formalities of corporate meetings.
The Committees general policy is to vote:
F.1 | AGAINST proposals that seek authority to act on any other business that may arise |
F.2 | FOR proposals designating two shareholders to keep minutes of the meeting |
F.3 | FOR proposals concerning accepting or approving financial statements and statutory reports |
F.4 | FOR proposals approving the discharge of management and the supervisory board |
F.5 | FOR proposals approving the allocation of income and the dividend |
F.6 | FOR proposals seeking authorization to file required documents/other formalities |
F.7 | FOR proposals to authorize the corporate board to ratify and execute approved resolutions |
F.8 | FOR proposals appointing inspectors of elections |
F.9 | FOR proposals electing a chair of the meeting |
12
F.10 | FOR proposals to permit virtual shareholder meetings over the Internet |
F.11 | AGAINST proposals to require rotating sites for shareholder meetings |
F.12 | AGAINST proposals that are substantially duplicative ( i.e. , shareholder proposals that are unnecessary because a management proposal serves the same purpose) |
G. | Investment Companies |
These proposals relate to proxy issues that are associated solely with holdings of shares of investment companies, including, but not limited to, investment companies for which BlackRock provides investment advisory, administrative and/or other services. As with other types of companies, the Committee believes that a funds Board of Directors (rather than its shareholders) is best-positioned to set fund policy and oversee management. However, the Committee opposes granting Boards of Directors authority over certain matters, such as changes to a funds investment objective that the Investment Company Act of 1940 envisions will be approved directly by shareholders.
The Committees general policy is to vote:
G.1 | FOR nominees for director of mutual funds in uncontested elections, except for nominees who |
|
have missed at least two meetings and, as a result, attended less than 75% of meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees the previous year, unless the nominee missed the meeting due to illness or fund business |
|
ignore a shareholder proposal that was approved by either a majority of the shares outstanding in any year or by the majority of votes cast for two consecutive years |
|
are interested directors who serve on the audit or nominating committees or on a full Board that does not have such committees composed exclusively of independent directors |
|
on a case-by-case basis, have served as directors of companies with allegedly poor corporate governance |
G.2 | FOR the establishment of new series or classes of shares |
G.3 | AGAINST proposals to change a funds investment objective to nonfundamental |
G.4 | FOR proposals to establish a master-feeder structure or authorizing the Board to approve a master-feeder structure without a further shareholder vote |
G.5 | AGAINST a shareholder proposal for the establishment of a director ownership requirement |
G.6 | FOR classified boards of closed-end investment companies |
G.6 | AGAINST removal of shareholder approval requirement to reorganize or terminate the trust or any of its series |
H. | Environmental and Social Issues |
These are shareholder proposals to limit corporate conduct in some manner that relates to the shareholders environmental or social concerns. The Committee generally believes that
13
annual shareholder meetings are inappropriate forums for the discussion of larger social issues, and opposes shareholder resolutions micromanaging corporate conduct or requesting release of information that would not help a shareholder evaluate an investment in the corporation as an economic matter. While the Committee is generally supportive of proposals to require corporate disclosure of matters that seem relevant and material to the economic interests of shareholders, the Committee is generally not supportive of proposals to require disclosure of corporate matters for other purposes.
The Committees general policy is to vote:
H.1 | AGAINST proposals seeking to have companies adopt international codes of conduct |
H.2 | AGAINST proposals seeking to have companies provide non- required analyses, information statements or reports in the following areas unless there are compelling investment reasons to request such reports: |
|
environmental liabilities; |
|
bank lending policies; |
|
corporate political contributions or activities; |
|
alcohol and tobacco advertising and efforts to discourage use of such products by minors or other groups; |
|
costs and risk of doing business in any individual country or the standards of operations in such country; |
|
involvement in nuclear defense systems or other military products; |
|
animal welfare standards; |
|
pricing policies; |
|
the use of certain commodities, genetically modified materials or chemicals; |
|
sustainability and other perceived political, environmental or social issues that do not directly relate to the economic operations of the company; |
|
charitable contributions made by the company |
H.3 | AGAINST proposals requesting reports on Maquiladora operations or on CERES principles |
H.4 | AGAINST proposals seeking implementation of the CERES principles |
H.5 | FOR resolutions requesting that a company disclose information on the impact of climate change on the companys operations unless: |
|
The company already provides current, publicly available information on the perceived impact that climate change may have on the company as well as associated policies and procedures to address such risks and/or opportunities; |
|
The companys level of disclosure is comparable to or better than information provided by industry peers; and |
|
There are no significant fines, penalties, or litigation associated with the companys environmental performance |
14
H.6 | AGAINST proposals that call for reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by specified amounts or within a restrictive time frame unless the company lags industry standards and has been the subject of recent, significant fines or litigation resulting from greenhouse gas emissions |
H.7 | FOR resolutions requesting that companies outline their preparations to comply with standards established by Kyoto Protocol signatory markets unless: |
|
The company does not maintain operations in Kyoto signatory markets; |
|
The company already evaluates and substantially discloses such information; |
|
Greenhouse gas emissions do not significantly impact the companys core businesses; or |
|
The company is not required to comply with the Kyoto Protocol standards |
H.8 | AGAINST resolutions that request the disclosure of detailed information on a companys policies related to land use or development unless the company has been the subject of recent, significant fines or litigation stemming from its land use |
H.9 | AGAINST proposals to publish in newspapers and public media the company's political contributions as such publications could present significant cost to the company without providing commensurate value to shareholders |
H.10 | AGAINST proposals barring the company from making political contributions. Businesses are affected by legislation at the federal, state, and local level and barring contributions can put the company at a competitive disadvantage |
H.11 | AGAINST proposals restricting the company from making charitable contributions. Charitable contributions are generally useful for assisting worthwhile causes and for creating goodwill in the community. In the absence of bad faith, self-dealing, or gross negligence, management should determine which contributions are in the best interests of the company |
H.12 | AGAINST proposals asking for a list of company executives, directors, consultants, legal counsels, lobbyists, or investment bankers that have prior government service and whether such service had a bearing on the business of the company. Such a list would be burdensome to prepare without providing any meaningful information to shareholders |
H.13 | AGAINST proposals that would call for the adoption of specific committee charter language regarding diversity initiatives unless the company fails to publicly disclose existing equal opportunity or non-discrimination policies |
H.14 | AGAINST proposals seeking information on the diversity efforts of suppliers and service providers, which can pose a significant cost and administrative burden on the company |
H.15 | FOR proposals seeking to amend a companys EEO statement in order to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, unless the change would result in excessive costs for the company |
15
H.16 | AGAINST proposals to exclude references to sexual orientation, interests, or activities from a companys EEO statement |
H.17 | AGAINST proposals to extend company benefits to, or eliminate benefits from domestic partners. Benefits decisions should be left to the discretion of the company |
H.18 | AGAINST proposals to take specific actions or adopt policies that require the company to support legislation to: |
|
label or identify products in a certain manner; |
|
study or evaluate the use of certain company products; |
|
increase animal welfare standards to above those required by law; or |
|
engage in political, environmental or social activities that do not directly relate to the economic operations of the company |
H.19 | CASE-BY-CASE on proposals requesting an economic risk assessment of environmental performance, considering: |
|
The feasibility of financially quantifying environmental risk factors; |
|
The companys compliance with applicable legislation and/or regulations regarding environmental performance; |
|
The costs associated with implementing improved standards; |
|
The potential costs associated with remediation resulting from poor environmental performance; and |
|
The current level of disclosure on environmental policies and initiatives |
H.20 | FOR requests for reports disclosing the companys environmental policies unless it already has well-documented environmental management systems that are available to the public |
H.21 | CASE-BY-CASE on proposals calling for companies to report on the risks associated with outsourcing, considering: |
|
Risks associated with certain international markets; |
|
The utility of such a report to shareholders; and |
|
The existence of a publicly available code of corporate conduct that applies to international operations |
H.22 | CASE-BY-CASE on requests for reports detailing the companys operations in a particular country and steps to protect human rights, based on: |
|
The nature and amount of company business in that country; |
|
The companys workplace code of conduct; |
|
Proprietary and confidential information involved; |
|
Company compliance with U.S. regulations on investing in the country; and/or |
|
Level of peer company involvement in the country |
16
H.23 | CASE-BY-CASE on proposals to implement certain human rights standards at company facilities or those of its suppliers and to commit to outside, independent monitoring. In evaluating these proposals, the following should be considered: |
|
The companys current workplace code of conduct or adherence to other global standards and the degree they meet the standards promulgated by the proponent; |
|
Agreements with foreign suppliers to meet certain workplace standards; |
|
Whether company and vendor facilities are monitored and how; |
|
Company participation in fair labor organizations; |
|
Type of business; |
|
Proportion of business conducted overseas; |
|
Countries of operation with known human rights abuses; |
|
Whether the company has been recently involved in significant labor and human rights controversies or violations; |
|
Peer company standards and practices; and |
|
Union presence in companys international factories |

Item 8 |
Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies | |

(iv) Potential Material Conflicts of Interest
Real, potential or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day portfolio management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund or account, including the following:
BlackRock has built a professional working environment, firm-wide compliance culture and compliance procedures and systems designed to protect against potential incentives that may favor one account over another. BlackRock has adopted policies and procedures that address the allocation of investment opportunities, execution of portfolio transactions, personal trading by employees and other potential conflicts of interest that are designed to ensure that all client accounts are treated equitably over time. Nevertheless, BlackRock furnishes investment management and
advisory services to numerous clients in addition to the Fund, and BlackRock may, consistent with applicable law, make investment recommendations to other clients or accounts (including accounts which are hedge funds or have performance or higher fees paid to BlackRock, or in which portfolio managers have a personal interest in the receipt of such fees), which may be the same as or different from those made to the Fund. In addition, BlackRock, its affiliates and significant shareholders and any officer, director, stockholder or employee may or may not have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale BlackRock recommends to the Fund. BlackRock, or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders, or any officer, director, stockholder, employee or any member of their families may take different actions than those recommended to the Fund by BlackRock with respect to the same securities. Moreover, BlackRock may refrain from rendering any advice or services concerning securities of companies of which any of BlackRocks (or its affiliates or significant shareholders) officers, directors or employees are directors or officers, or companies as to which BlackRock or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders or the officers, directors and employees of any of them has any substantial economic interest or possesses material non-public information. Each portfolio manager also may manage accounts whose investment strategies may at times be opposed to the strategy utilized for a fund. In this connection, it should be noted that Ms. Jelilian currently manages certain accounts that are subject to performance fees. In addition, a portfolio manager may assist in managing certain hedge funds and may be entitled to receive a portion of any incentive fees earned on such funds and a portion of such incentive fees may be voluntarily or involuntarily deferred. Additional portfolio managers may in the future manage other such accounts or funds and may be entitled to receive incentive fees.
As a fiduciary, BlackRock owes a duty of loyalty to its clients and must treat each client fairly. When BlackRock purchases or sells securities for more than one account, the trades must be allocated in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties. BlackRock attempts to allocate investments in a fair and equitable manner among client accounts, with no account receiving preferential treatment. To this end, BlackRock has adopted a policy that is intended to ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably among client accounts over time. This policy also seeks to achieve reasonable efficiency in client transactions and provide BlackRock with sufficient flexibility to allocate investments in a manner that is consistent with the particular investment discipline and client base.
(a)(3) As of December 31, 2009:
Portfolio Manager Compensation Overview
BlackRocks financial arrangements with its portfolio managers, its competitive compensation and its career path emphasis at all levels reflect the value senior management places on key resources. Compensation may include a variety of components and may vary from year to year based on a number of factors. The principal components of compensation include a base salary, a performance-based discretionary bonus, participation in various benefits programs and one or more of the incentive compensation programs established by BlackRock such as its Long-Term Retention and Incentive Plan and Restricted Stock Program.
Base compensation. Generally, portfolio managers receive base compensation based on their seniority and/or their position with the firm. Senior portfolio managers who perform additional
management functions within the portfolio management group or within BlackRock may receive additional compensation for serving in these other capacities.
Discretionary Incentive Compensation
Discretionary incentive compensation is a function of several components: the performance of BlackRock, Inc., the performance of the portfolio managers group within BlackRock, the investment performance, including risk-adjusted returns, of the firms assets under management or supervision by that portfolio manager relative to predetermined benchmarks, and the individuals seniority, role within the portfolio management team, teamwork and contribution to the overall performance of these portfolios and BlackRock. In most cases, including for the portfolio managers of the Fund, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Fund or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. BlackRocks Chief Investment Officers determine the benchmarks against which the performance of funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager is compared and the period of time over which performance is evaluated. With respect to the portfolio managers, such benchmarks for the Funds include the following:
Portfolio Manager |
Benchmarks Applicable to Each Manager |
|
Debra L. Jelilian | A combination of market-based indices (e.g., The S&P 400 Index, Russell 2000 Index), certain customized indices and certain fund industry peer groups. | |
Kyle G. McClements | A combination of Lipper peer groups and a subset of other closed-end funds. |
BlackRocks Chief Investment Officers make a subjective determination with respect to the portfolio manager s compensation based on the performance of the funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager relative to the various benchmarks noted above. Performance is measured on a pre-tax basis over various time periods including 1, 3 and 5-year periods, as applicable.
Distribution of Discretionary Incentive Compensation
Discretionary incentive compensation is distributed to portfolio managers in a combination of cash and BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units which vest ratably over a number of years. The BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units, if properly vested, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Typically, the cash bonus, when combined with base salary, represents more than 60% of total compensation for the portfolio managers. Paying a portion of annual bonuses in stock puts compensation earned by a portfolio manager for a given year at risk based on BlackRocks ability to sustain and improve its performance over future periods.
Long-Term Retention and Incentive Plan (LTIP) The LTIP is a long-term incentive plan that seeks to reward certain key employees. Prior to 2006, the plan provided for the grant of awards that were expressed as an amount of cash that, if properly vested and subject to the attainment of certain performance goals, will be settled in cash and/or in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Beginning in 2006, awards are granted under the LTIP in the form of BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units that, if properly vested and subject to the attainment of certain performance goals, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Ms. Jelilian and Mr. McClements have each received awards under the LTIP.
Deferred Compensation Program A portion of the compensation paid to eligible BlackRock employees may be voluntarily deferred into an account that tracks the performance of certain of the firms investment products. Each participant in the deferred compensation program is permitted to allocate his deferred amounts among the various investment options. Ms. Jelilian and Mr. McClements have each participated in the deferred compensation program.
Other compensation benefits . In addition to base compensation and discretionary incentive compensation, portfolio managers may be eligible to receive or participate in one or more of the following:
Incentive Savings Plans BlackRock, Inc. has created a variety of incentive savings plans in which BlackRock employees are eligible to participate, including a 401(k) plan, the BlackRock Retirement Savings Plan (RSP), and the BlackRock Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The employer contribution components of the RSP include a company match equal to 50% of the first 6% of eligible pay contributed to the plan capped at $4,000 per year, and a company retirement contribution equal to 3-5% of eligible compensation. The RSP offers a range of investment options, including registered investment companies managed by the firm. BlackRock contributions follow the investment direction set by participants for their own contributions or, absent employee investment direction, are invested into a balanced portfolio. The ESPP allows for investment in BlackRock common stock at a 5% discount on the fair market value of the stock on the purchase date. Annual participation in the ESPP is limited to the purchase of 1,000 shares or a dollar value of $25,000. Each portfolio manager is eligible to participate in these plans.
(a)(4) Beneficial Ownership of Securities. As of December 31, 2009, neither Ms. Jelilian or Mr. McClements beneficially owned any stock issued by the Fund.
