A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the shareholder’s investment is paid back to the shareholder. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’. When distributions exceed total return performance, the difference will reduce the Fund’s net asset value per share.\nThe amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates and are being provided to you pursuant to regulatory requirements and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon each Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.\n\n\n\nFund Performance and Distribution Rate Information:\n\n\nFund\nAverage annual total return (in relation to NAV) for the 5-year period ending on 1/31/2024\nAnnualized current distribution rate expressed as a percentage of NAV as of 1/31/2024\nCumulative total return (in relation to NAV) for the fiscal year through 1/31/2024\nCumulative fiscal year distributions as a percentage of NAV as of 1/31/2024\n\n\nBCX\n8.79%\n6.21%\n(4.73)%\n0.52%\n\n\nBDJ\n8.63%\n7.62%\n1.05%\n0.64%\n\n\nBGR\n8.01%\n5.66%\n(0.89)%\n0.47%\n\n\nBGY\n7.89%\n6.67%\n(1.48)%\n0.56%\n\n\nBME\n8.96%\n5.92%\n2.79%\n0.49%\n\n\nBMEZ*\n5.08%\n6.05%\n0.70%\n0.51%\n\n\nBOE\n7.90%\n6.45%\n(0.06)%\n0.54%\n\n\nBUI\n8.52%\n6.77%\n(4.30)%\n0.56%\n\n\nCII\n12.25%\n5.94%\n1.99%\n0.50%\n\n\nBST\n13.01%\n8.50%\n2.42%\n0.71%\n\n\nBSTZ*\n9.87%\n5.83%\n(0.11)%\n0.48%\n\n\nBIGZ*\n(17.89)%\n6.06%\n(1.54)%\n0.51%\n\n\nBCAT*\n3.20%\n8.89%\n0.71%\n0.74%\n\n\nECAT*\n4.09%\n9.92%\n1.47%\n0.83%\n\n\n\n* Portfolio launched within the past 5 years; the performance and distribution rate information presented for this Fund reflects data from inception to 1/31/2024.\nShareholders should not draw any conclusions about a Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the Fund’s current distributions or from the terms of the Fund’s Plan.\nBlackRock Enhanced Government Fund, Inc. (NYSE: EGF), BlackRock Debt Strategies Fund, Inc. (NYSE: DSU), BlackRock Floating Rate Income Strategies Fund, Inc. (NYSE: FRA), BlackRock Floating Rate Income Trust (NYSE: BGT), BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund, Inc. (NYSE: HYT), BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust (NYSE: BTZ), BlackRock Limited Duration Income Trust (NYSE: BLW), BlackRock Core Bond Trust (NYSE: BHK), BlackRock Multi-Sector Income Trust (NYSE: BIT), BlackRock Income Trust, Inc. (NYSE: BKT) and BlackRock Taxable Municipal Bond Trust (NYSE: BBN) have adopted a Plan to support a level monthly distribution of income, capital gains and/or return of capital. The fixed amounts distributed per share are subject to change at the discretion of each Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees. Under its Plan, each Fund will distribute all available net income to its shareholders, consistent with its investment objectives and as required by the Code. If sufficient income (inclusive of net investment income and short-term capital gains) is not available on a monthly basis, a Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return capital to its stockholders in order to maintain a level distribution. Each of the above-listed Funds is currently not relying on any exemptive relief from Section 19(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the \"1940 Act\"). Each Fund expects that distributions under the Plan will exceed current income and capital gains and therefore will likely include a return of capital. Each Fund may make additional distributions from time to time, including additional capital gain distributions at the end of the taxable year, if required to meet requirements imposed by the Code and/or the 1940 Act.\nEach Fund’s estimated sources of the distributions paid as of February 29, 2024 and for its current fiscal year are as follows:\n\n\n\nEstimated Allocations as of February 29, 2024\n\n\nFund\nDistribution\nNet Income\nNet Realized Short-Term Gains\nNet Realized Long-Term Gains\nReturn of Capital\n\n\nEGF2\n$0.041000\n$0.030498 (74%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.010502 (26%)\n\n\nBKT2\n$0.088200\n$0.033026 (37%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.055174 (63%)\n\n\nDSU2\n$0.098730\n$0.084114 (85%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.014616 (15%)\n\n\nFRA2\n$0.123840\n$0.100296 (81%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.023544 (19%)\n\n\nBBN2\n$0.092900\n$0.074952 (81%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.017948 (19%)\n\n\nBGT2\n$0.120280\n$0.101521 (84%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.018759 (16%)\n\n\nHYT2\n$0.077900\n$0.059595 (77%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.018305 (23%)\n\n\nBTZ2\n$0.083900\n$0.052528 (63%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.031372 (37%)\n\n\nBLW2\n$0.107900\n$0.093068 (86%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.014832 (14%)\n\n\nBHK2\n$0.074600\n$0.046743 (63%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.027857 (37%)\n\n\nBIT2\n$0.123700\n$0.073022 (59%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.050678 (41%)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEstimated Allocations for the Fiscal Year through February 29, 2024\n\n\nFund\nDistribution\nNet Income\nNet Realized Short-Term Gains\nNet Realized Long-Term Gains\nReturn of Capital\n\n\nEGF2\n$0.082000\n$0.060302 (74%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.021698 (26%)\n\n\nBKT2\n$0.176400\n$0.066922 (38%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.109478 (62%)\n\n\nDSU2\n$0.197460\n$0.163354 (83%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.034106 (17%)\n\n\nFRA2\n$0.247680\n$0.203125 (82%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.044555 (18%)\n\n\nBBN2\n$0.185800\n$0.154371 (83%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.031429 (17%)\n\n\nBGT2\n$0.240560\n$0.202201 (84%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.038359 (16%)\n\n\nHYT2\n$0.155800\n$0.124454 (80%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.031346 (20%)\n\n\nBTZ2\n$0.167800\n$0.109733 (65%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.058067 (35%)\n\n\nBLW2\n$0.215800\n$0.191647 (89%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.024153 (11%)\n\n\nBHK2\n$0.149200\n$0.095863 (64%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.053337 (36%)\n\n\nBIT2\n$0.247400\n$0.159635 (65%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0 (0%)\n$0.087765 (35%)\n\n\n\n2The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net-realized capital gains in the current fiscal year; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the shareholder’s investment is paid back to the shareholder. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’. When distributions exceed total return performance, the difference will reduce the Fund’s net asset value per share.\nThe amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates and are being provided to you pursuant to regulatory requirements and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon each Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Each Fund will send its stockholders a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will illustrate how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.\n\n\n\nFund Performance and Distribution Rate Information:\n\n\nFund\nAverage annual total return (in relation to NAV) for the 5-year period ending on 1/31/2024\nAnnualized current distribution rate expressed as a percentage of NAV as of 1/31/2024\nCumulative total return (in relation to NAV) for the fiscal year through 1/31/2024\nCumulative fiscal year distributions as a percentage of NAV as 1/31/2024\n\n\nEGF\n(1.37)%\n4.79%\n(0.17)%\n0.40%\n\n\nBKT\n(0.54)%\n8.38%\n(0.16)%\n0.70%\n\n\nDSU\n6.45%\n10.93%\n0.45%\n0.91%\n\n\nFRA\n6.37%\n11.26%\n0.53%\n0.94%\n\n\nBBN\n1.73%\n6.20%\n0.10%\n0.52%\n\n\nBGT\n6.40%\n11.24%\n0.50%\n0.94%\n\n\nHYT\n5.89%\n9.68%\n0.08%\n0.81%\n\n\nBTZ\n4.49%\n8.71%\n0.41%\n0.73%\n\n\nBLW\n5.04%\n9.21%\n0.41%\n0.77%\n\n\nBHK\n1.89%\n8.20%\n(0.23)%\n0.68%\n\n\nBIT\n5.20%\n10.08%\n0.57%\n0.84%\n\n\n\nNo conclusions should be drawn about a Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the Fund’s distributions or from the terms of the Fund’s Plan.\nThe amount distributed per share under a Plan is subject to change at the discretion of the applicable Fund’s Board. Each Plan will be subject to ongoing review by the Board to determine whether the Plan should be continued, modified or terminated. The Board may amend the terms of a Plan or suspend or terminate a Plan at any time without prior notice to the Fund’s shareholders if it deems such actions to be in the best interest of the Fund or its shareholders. The amendment or termination of a Plan could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund's shares.\nAbout BlackRock\nBlackRock’s purpose is to help more and more people experience financial well-being.
