to changing the Funds\u2019 respective investment objectives, each Board also approved changing the Funds\u2019 principal investment strategies to remove the options writing strategy. BlackRock Advisors, LLC (\u201cBlackRock\u201d), each Fund\u2019s investment advisor, believes the removal of such strategy will better align the Funds\u2019 principal investment strategies with shareholder interests and expectations for equity closed-end funds. In addition, BlackRock believes that removing the options writing strategy has the potential to allow each fund to capture more capital appreciation, with the goal of outperforming broad equity indices over a full cycle using the benefits of the closed-end fund structure. The Funds\u2019 updated strategies could also potentially lead to greater distribution stability, improved trading and lower discounts.<\/p>\n<p><b>About BlackRock<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nBlackRock\u2019s purpose is to help more and more people experience financial well-being.
