* In order to comply with the requirements of Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), each of the Funds noted above posted to the DTC bulletin board and sent to its shareholders of record as of the applicable record date a Section 19 notice with the previous distribution payment. The Section 19 notice was provided for informational purposes only and not for tax reporting purposes. This information can be found in the "Closed-End Funds" section of www.blackrock.com.

BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust $(BCX)$, BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust $(BDJ)$, BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust $(BGR)$, BlackRock Enhanced International Dividend Trust $(BGY)$, BlackRock Health Sciences Trust $(BME)$, BlackRock Enhanced Global Dividend Trust $(BOE)$, BlackRock Utilities, Infrastructure & Power Opportunities Trust $(BUI)$, BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. $(CII)$ and BlackRock Science and Technology Trust (NYSE: BST) have adopted a managed distribution plan (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 investment income to its shareholders, consistent with its investment objectives and as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (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 shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution.
The Funds' estimated sources of the distributions paid this month and for their current fiscal year are as follows:
