Certain BlackRock Funds Announce Expiration and Preliminary Results of Tender Offers

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The BlackRock closed-end funds (the 鈥淔unds鈥�) listed below announced today the expiration and preliminary results of each Fund鈥檚 tender offer (each, a 鈥淭ender Offer鈥�) for up to 2.5% of its outstanding common shares (the 鈥淪hares鈥�).

Each Tender Offer commenced on July 22, 2024 and expired at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on August 21, 2024.

Based on preliminary information, the number of Shares properly tendered for each Fund and not withdrawn is noted in the table below.

The purchase price of properly tendered and accepted Shares for each Fund will be 98% of the Fund's net asset value (鈥淣AV鈥�) as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on August 22, 2024, the business day immediately following the expiration date of the Tender Offer. The above-indicated results are based on preliminary information, are subject to adjustment and should not be regarded as final.
