There can be no assurances as to the effect that a Program will have on the market for a Fund’s shares or the discount at which a Fund’s shares may trade relative to its NAV.\nAs previously announced, under the Programs, each Fund intends to offer to repurchase a portion of its outstanding common shares based on 3-month measurement periods (each a \"Measurement Period\") if the Fund's common shares trade at an average daily discount to net asset value (\"NAV\") of greater than 7.50% during a Measurement Period (a \"Trigger Event\"). The Funds’ Measurement Period commenced on July 1, 2024 and ended on September 30, 2024 (the \"Quarterly Measurement Period\").

As a result of the occurrence of a Trigger Event during the Quarterly Measurement Period with respect to each of the following Funds, the Board of each such Fund has authorized the Fund’s tender offer with the anticipated commencement and expiration dates outlined below.\n\n\n\nAnticipated Tender Offer Dates for the Funds\n\n\nEvent\nCII, BDJ, BGR\nBMEZ, BME, BGY\nBSTZ, BCX, BOE\nMVF, BIGZ\n\n\nTender Offer Commencement Date\nTuesday, October 15, 2024\nWednesday, October 16, 2024\nThursday, October 17, 2024\nFriday, October 18, 2024\n\n\nTender Offer Expiration Date and Time\nFriday, November 15, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, unless otherwise extended\nMonday, November 18, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, unless otherwise extended\nTuesday, November 19, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, unless otherwise extended\nWednesday, November 20, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, unless otherwise extended\n\n\n\nIf more than 2.5% of a Fund's outstanding common shares are tendered, the Fund will purchase its shares from tendering shareholders on a pro rata basis at a price equal to 98% of the Fund's NAV per share as determined as of the close of the regular trading session of the NYSE on the next day the NAV is calculated after the expiration date of the tender offer (or, if the offer is extended, on the next day the NAV is calculated after the day to which the offer is extended). Accordingly, there is no assurance that a Fund will purchase all of a shareholder’s common shares tendered in the tender offer. Payments for shares tendered and accepted are expected to be made within approximately five business days after the expiration date.\nThe terms and conditions of each Fund’s tender offer will be set forth in an Offer to Purchase, a related Letter of Transmittal, and related documents, which will be distributed to the respective Fund's common shareholders. As soon as its tender offer commences, each Fund will file a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the \"SEC\"), which will include an Offer to Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal.\nIMPORTANT NOTICE\nThis press release is for informational purposes only and is not a recommendation, an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities of the Funds and the above statements are not intended to constitute an offer to participate in any tender offer. Any offer to purchase Fund common shares will be made pursuant to an offer on Schedule TO. COMMON SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE TENDER OFFER MATERIALS, INCLUDING THE OFFER TO PURCHASE AND ANY SOLICITATION/RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT REGARDING THE TENDER OFFER, AS THEY MAY BE AMENDED OR SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME, WHEN THEY ARE FILED AND BECOME AVAILABLE, BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISION REGARDING TENDERING THEIR SHARES.
