BlackRock Provides Update on Closed-End Fund Discount Management Programs<\/b><\/p>\n

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nBlackRock today updated shareholders on the progress of its discount management programs (the \u201cPrograms\u201d) for certain BlackRock closed-end funds, part of a proactive effort to address trading discounts, support shareholder alignment and provide a potential liquidity mechanism when program conditions are met.<\/p>\n

\nThe Programs, which began on January 1, 2026, and are scheduled to run through September 30, 2026 (the \u201cMeasurement Period\u201d), are part of BlackRock\u2019s broader closed-end fund discount-management toolkit designed to provide a disciplined, transparent framework for addressing trading discounts while aligning with shareholder interests.<\/p>\n

\nUnder the Programs, if a Fund\u2019s common shares trade at an average daily discount to net asset value (\u201cNAV\u201d) greater than 10% during the Measurement Period, the Fund intends to conduct a tender offer to repurchase a minimum of 5% of its outstanding shares at a price equal to 98% of the Fund\u2019s NAV, as determined on the trading day after the tender offer expires.<\/p>\n

Mid-Year Progress Snapshot<\/b><\/p>\n

\nBased on average daily discounts from January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026, most Funds in the Programs were trading below the 10% threshold that would trigger a tender offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
