  • Certain Trusts estimate they have distributed more than the amount of earned income and net realized gains; therefore, a portion of the distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the shareholder’s investment in a Trust is returned to the shareholder. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect a Trust’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income.’

Section 19(a) notices for each Trust, as applicable, are available on the BlackRock website http://www.blackrock.com.

Section 19(b) Disclosure

The Trusts, acting pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) exemptive order and with the approval of each Trust’s Board of Trustees/Directors (the “Board”), each have adopted a plan, consistent with its investment objectives and policies to support a level distribution of income, capital gains and/or return of capital (the “Plan”). In accordance with the Plans, the Trusts currently distribute the following fixed amounts per share on a quarterly basis:

Exchange Symbol Amount Per Common Share
BQY $0.230000
BQR $0.179250
BGR $0.405000
CII $0.300000
BDJ $0.140000
BOE $0.311650
BME $0.384375
BGY $0.167850
BCF $0.221500
BCX $0.290000
BUI $0.362500

The fixed amounts distributed per share are subject to change at the discretion of each Trust’s Board. Under its Plan, each Trust will distribute all available investment income to its shareholders, consistent with its primary investment objectives and as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If sufficient investment income is not available on a quarterly basis, the Trusts will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital to shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution. Each quarterly distribution to shareholders is expected to be at the fixed amount established by the Board, except for extraordinary distributions and potential distribution rate increases or decreases to enable the Trusts to comply with the distribution requirements imposed by the Code.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about each Trust’s investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of the Plan. Each Trust’s total return performance on net asset value is presented in its financial highlights table.

The Board may amend, suspend or terminate a Trust’s Plan without prior notice if it deems such actions to be in the best interests of the Trust or its shareholders. The suspension or termination of the Plan could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if the Trust’s stock is trading at or above net asset value) or widening an existing trading discount. The Trusts are subject to risks that could have an adverse impact on their ability to maintain level distributions. Examples of potential risks include, but are not limited to, economic downturns impacting the markets, decreased market volatility, companies suspending or decreasing corporate dividend distributions and changes in the Code. Please refer to each Trust’s prospectus for a more complete description of its risks.

Dear Shareholder

Financial markets were volatile as 2012 drew to a close, with investors growing increasingly concerned over the possible implementation of pre-mandated tax increases and spending cuts known as the “fiscal cliff.” However, a last-minute tax deal averted the potential crisis and allowed markets to get off to a strong start in 2013. Money that had been pulled to the sidelines amid year-end tax-rate uncertainty poured back into the markets in January. Key indicators signaling modest but broad-based improvements in the world’s major economies, coupled with the absence of negative headlines from Europe, fostered an aura of comfort for investors. Global equities surged, while rising US Treasury yields pressured high quality fixed income assets. (Bond prices fall when yields rise.)

Global economic momentum slowed in February, however, and the pace of the rally moderated. In the months that followed, US stocks outperformed international stocks, as America showed greater stability compared to most other regions. Slow, but positive, growth was sufficient to support corporate earnings, while uncomfortably high unemployment reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve would keep its asset purchase program intact and interest rates low. International markets experienced higher levels of volatility given a resurgence of political instability in Italy, a severe banking crisis in Cyprus and a generally poor outlook for European economies, many of which were mired in recession. Emerging markets significantly lagged the rest of the world as growth in these economies, particularly in China and Brazil, fell short of expectations.

In May, the Fed Chairman commented on the possibility of beginning to gradually reduce – or “taper” — the central bank’s asset purchase program before the end of 2013. Investors around the world retreated from higher risk assets in response. Markets rebounded in late June when the tone of the US central bank turned more dovish, and improving economic indicators and better corporate earnings helped extend gains through July.

Markets slumped again in August as investors became wary of looming macro risks. Mixed economic data stirred worries about global growth and uncertainty about when and how much the Fed would scale back on stimulus. Also weighing on investors’ minds was the escalation of the revolution in Egypt and the civil war in Syria, both of which fueled higher oil prices, an additional headwind for global economic growth.

September was surprisingly positive for investors, thanks to the easing of several key risks. Most important, the Fed defied market expectations with its decision to delay tapering. Additionally, the more hawkish candidate to become the next Fed Chairman, Larry Summers, withdrew from the race. On the geopolitical front, turmoil in Egypt and Syria subsided. In Europe, the re-election of Angela Merkel as Chancellor of Germany was welcomed as a continuation of the status quo. High levels of volatility returned in late September when the Treasury Department warned that the US national debt would breach its statutory maximum soon after Oct. 17. Political brinksmanship led to a partial government shutdown, roiling global financial markets through the first half of October, but the rally quickly resumed with a last-minute compromise to reopen the government and extend the debt ceiling until early 2014.

Though periods of heightened uncertainty drove high levels of market volatility over the past year, riskier asset classes generally outperformed lower-risk investments. Developed market equities generated the highest returns for the 6-and 12-month periods ended Oct. 31, with particular strength coming from US small-cap stocks. Emerging markets posted smaller, albeit positive returns after struggling with slowing growth and weakening currencies in the first half of 2013. Rising interest rates resulted in poor performance for US Treasury bonds and other higher-quality sectors such as tax-exempt municipals and investment grade corporate bonds. High yield bonds, on the other hand, moved higher as income-oriented investors sought meaningful returns in the low-rate environment. Short-term interest rates remained near zero, keeping yields on money market securities near historical lows.

At BlackRock, we believe investors need to think globally and extend their scope across a broader array of asset classes and be prepared to move freely as market conditions change over time. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor and visit www.blackrock.com for further insight about investing in today’s world.

Sincerely,

Rob Kapito

The Benefits and Risks of Option Over-Writing

In general, the goal of each of the Trusts is to provide total return through a combination of current income and realized and unrealized gains (capital appreciation). The Trusts seek to pursue this goal primarily by investing in a portfolio of equity securities and utilizing an option over-writing strategy in an effort to enhance distribution yield and total return performance. However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all market conditions.

The Trusts primarily write single stock covered call options, and may also from time to time write single stock put options. When writing (selling) a covered call option, the Trust holds an underlying equity security and enters into an option transaction which allows the counterparty to purchase the equity security at an agreed-upon price (“strike price”) within an agreed-upon time period. The Trusts receive cash premiums from the counterparties upon writing (selling) the option, which along with net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are generally available to support current or future distributions paid by the Trusts. During the option term, the counterparty will elect to exercise the option if the market value of the equity security rises above the strike price, and the Trust will be obligated to sell the equity security to the counterparty at the strike price, realizing a gain or loss. Premiums received will increase gains or reduce losses realized on the sale of the equity security. If the option remains unexercised upon its expiration, the Trusts will realize gains equal to the premiums received.

Writing covered call options entails certain risks, which include, but are not limited to, the following: an increase in the value of the underlying equity security above the strike price can result in the exercise of a written option (sale by the Trust to the counterparty) when the Trust might not otherwise have sold the security; exercise of the option by the counterparty will result in a sale below the current market value and will result in a gain or loss being realized by the Trust; and writing covered call options limits the potential appreciation that could be realized on the underlying equity security to the extent of the strike price of the option. As such, an option over-writing strategy may outperform the general equity market in flat or falling markets but underperform in rising markets.

Each Trust employs a plan to support a level distribution of income, capital gains and/or return of capital. The goal of the plan is to provide shareholders with consistent and predictable cash flows by setting distribution rates based on expected long-term returns of the Trusts. Such distributions, under certain circumstances, may exceed a Trust’s total return performance. When total distributions exceed total return performance for the period, the difference will reduce the Trust’s total assets and net asset value per share (“NAV”) and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the Trust’s expense ratio and reducing the amount of assets the Trust has available for long term investment. In order to make these distributions, a Trust may have to sell portfolio securities at less than opportune times.

The final tax characterization of distributions is determined after the fiscal year and is reported in the Trust’s annual report to shareholders. Distributions will be characterized as ordinary income, capital gains and/or return of capital. The Trust’s taxable net investment income or net realized capital gains (“taxable income”) may not be sufficient to support the level of distributions paid. To the extent that distributions exceed the Trust’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess may be treated as a non-taxable return of capital. Distributions that exceed a Trust’s taxable income but do not exceed the Trust’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, may be classified as ordinary income which are taxable to shareholders.

A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect a Trust’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income.’ A return of capital is a return of a portion of an investor’s original investment. A return of capital is not taxable, but it reduces a shareholder’s tax basis in his or her shares, thus reducing any loss or increasing any gain on a subsequent disposition by the shareholder of his or her shares. It is possible that a substantial portion of the distributions paid during a calendar year may ultimately be classified as return of capital for income tax purposes when the final determination of the source and character of the distributions is made.

To illustrate these concepts, assume the following: (1) a common stock purchased at and currently trading at $37.15 per share; (2) a three-month call option is written by a Trust with a strike price of $40 (i.e., 7.7% higher than the current market price); and (3) the Trust receives $2.45, or 6.6% of the common stock’s value, as a premium. If the stock price remains unchanged, the option will expire and there would be a 6.6% return for the three-month period. If the stock were to decline in price by 6.6% (i.e., decline to $34.70 per share), the option strategy would “break-even” from an economic perspective resulting in neither a gain nor a loss. If the stock were to climb to a price of $40 or above, the option would be exercised and the stock would return 7.7% coupled with the option premium received of 6.6% for a total return of 14.3%. Under this scenario, the Trust loses the benefit of any appreciation of the stock above $40, and thus is limited to a 14.3% total return. The premium from writing the call option serves to offset some of the unrealized loss on the stock in the event that the price of the stock declines, but if the stock were to decline more than 6.6% under this scenario, the Trust’s downside protection is eliminated and the stock could eventually become worthless.

Each Trust intends to write covered call options to varying degrees depending upon market conditions. Please refer to each Trust’s Schedule of Investments and the Notes to Financial Statements for details of written options.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2013 BlackRock Dividend Income Trust

Trust Overview

BlackRock Dividend Income Trust’s (BQY) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in equity securities of issuers that pay above-average dividends and have the potential for capital appreciation. The Trust invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities that pay dividends. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. The Trust utilizes an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance dividend yield.

The Board approved a change to the Trust’s non-fundamental investment policies on June 4, 2013. Please refer to page 150 in the Additional Information section. In addition, on July 30, 2013, the Board approved a change to the Trust’s name from “BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust” to “BlackRock Dividend Income Trust.” The name change became effective on August 13, 2013.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2013, the Trust returned 12.18% based on market price and 15.50% based on NAV. For the same period, the MSCI World Value Index returned 27.26%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ The Trust underperformed the benchmark index due to its option overwrite strategy, which is utilized to generate income. During the period, the option overwrite limited the Trust’s ability to capture price appreciation on its underlying portfolio holdings in the strong equity market while the benchmark index has no option component. Also detracting from the Trust’s performance was a combination of stock selection and a substantial underweight in the financials sector. Security selection within consumer staples, information technology (“IT”) and consumer discretionary hurt returns as the Trust held a bias toward higher-quality stocks, which did not perform as well as the broader equity market. Security selection within industrials and health care detracted from performance as well. At a broad level, while the Trust’s sector allocations contributed positively to results for the period, security selection hurt relative performance due to owning higher-capitalized, stronger companies which tended to lag their lower-quality counterparts during the period.

Ÿ Contributing positively to relative performance was the Trust’s underweight position in the energy sector and a combination of an underweight and strong stock selection in the materials sector. Overweight allocations to IT, consumer discretionary and industrials also had a positive impact on returns for the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ During the 12-month period, portfolio turnover ultimately remained very low. However, the Trust removed some of its Canadian bank holdings and reduced some of its materials and industrials positions given the prospect of slowing growth in emerging markets, where many of these companies have higher degrees of exposure. The Trust added to other, more attractively valued companies within the consumer discretionary, consumer staples, utilities and health care sectors given a more positive outlook for these stocks in the global economic environment.

Describe Trust positioning at period end.

Ÿ The investment advisor continues to maintain the view that dividend income is essential for total return, and that the prospect for dividend growth among U.S. multinational companies presents a unique investment opportunity in today’s marketplace.

Ÿ As of period end, the Trust was positioned to perform well in a wide range of economic scenarios. The Trust’s holdings emphasized companies that carry a diverse group of assets, have extensive customer bases among both retail and institutional clients, and lower sensitivity to broad changes in macroeconomic variables. By taking less factor-specific risk, the Trust typically maintains a lower volatility than the market, but remains able to capture upside as equity markets and the broader economy gain momentum. Owning companies that can participate in all parts of the economic cycle helps prepare the Trust for less certain times. The Trust continued to search for brand leadership and industry dominance in its investments with a preference for companies with the number one or number two products on the shelf in terms of market share. The Trust was also positioned to benefit from a shift in market leadership from lower-capitalized stocks to larger-capitalized stocks, while continuing to emphasize growth of income, relative protection and long-term total return as the core of its investment process. Overall, the Trust remained well-insulated, but poised to participate should markets continue to experience gains.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2013 BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust

Trust Overview

BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust’s (BQR) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities issued by companies that are engaged in one or more of New Energy (e.g., products, technologies and services connected to the efficient use of energy or the provision or manufacture of alternative forms of energy), Water Resources and Agriculture business segments. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. The Trust utilizes an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance dividend yield.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2013, the Trust returned (0.34)% based on market price and 9.08% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Utility Funds category posted an average return of 10.94% based on market price and 16.90% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ The Trust’s exposure to certain water utilities drove positive returns for the period, with strong performance from Aqua America, Inc., American States Water Co. and Severn Trent Plc. Exposure to industrial machinery stocks also had a positive impact on results as the Trust’s positions in Pentair Ltd. and Xylem, Inc. performed particularly well. The Trust benefited from holding companies with exposure to alternative fuels such as Archer-Daniels Midland Co. and Novozymes A/S as these stocks added significantly to returns for the period. Gains from the Trust’s option writing strategy had a positive impact on performance for the period.

Ÿ Detracting from performance were the Trust’s holdings of fertilizer and diversified chemicals names including Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan, Inc., Agrium, Inc. and K+S AG. The stocks declined on the back of weakness in the potash industry (a fertilizer product) partly driven by the news that the major Russian potash producer Uralkali plans to exit the Belorussian Potash Co. (i.e., the “BPC,” one of the key marketing groups for the commodity), which may potentially result in increased competition and

have an impact on potash prices. Certain water utility positions detracted from performance including Manila Water Co., Inc., Sabesp and Cia de Saneamento de Minas Gerais — COPASA. Sabesp and Cia de Saneamento de Minas Gerais — COPASA, both Brazilian water utilities, have underperformed given the potential negative impact that recent political issues in Brazil may have on near-term earnings growth and cash flow. In addition, the Trust held an elevated cash balance as a means of defensive positioning given near-term uncertainty about the market outlook. The Trust’s cash position had a modestly negative impact on performance as equities generally advanced.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ During the 12-month period, the Trust added a position in Tyson Foods, Inc. and exited a position in CNH Global NV within agriculture. In new energy, the Trust initiated positions in TransCanada Corp. and Chicago Bridge & Iron Co. NV and sold American Superconductor Corp. There were no significant positioning changes in the water space given the long-term nature of the investment advisor’s outlook for this segment.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

Ÿ As of period end, the Trust continued to hold large allocations to both the water and agriculture segments and less emphasis on new energy, which is reflective of the relative outlooks and valuations for each of these segments.

The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2013 BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust

Trust Overview

BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust’s (BGR) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities of energy and natural resources companies and equity derivatives with exposure to the energy and natural resources industry. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. The Trust utilizes an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance dividend yield.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2013, the Trust returned 17.70% based on market price and 23.68% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Natural Resources Funds category posted an average return of 9.25% based on market price and 14.45% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ Exposure to oil & gas exploration & production companies, the Trust’s largest industry allocation, was the primary driver of positive returns for the period. The strong performance of this industry was supported by a series of promising results from drilling in the Utica and Marcellus shale regions as well as the Permian basin. Holdings in U.S.-based companies Gulfport Energy Corp., Pioneer Natural Resources Co. and EQT Corp. were among the Trust’s strongest individual performers. Gains from the Trust’s option writing strategy had a positive impact on performance for the period.

Ÿ Detracting from performance was the Trust’s exposure to precious metal equities. Gold and silver were subjected to heavy selling pressure in

2013 as market participants anticipated a reduction in monetary stimulus from the Federal Reserve. Particularly poor performers amid falling metal prices were the Trust’s positions in Silver Wheaton Corp., a silver streaming company, and Goldcorp, Inc., a major gold producer. Also detracting from results was the Trust’s holding in exploration & production company Energy XXI (Bermuda) Ltd., which encountered operational challenges relating to its deep-water activity in the Gulf of Mexico. The Trust sold this position during the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ During the 12-month period, the Trust reduced exposure to companies involved in the production of non-energy related products, most notably metal and mining shares, in order to maintain a focus on traditional energy companies. The overall number of holdings in the Trust decreased during the period, resulting in fewer, higher-conviction positions.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

Ÿ As of period end, the Trust’s positioning reflected a preference for energy exploration and production companies and integrated oil & gas names, with smaller exposure to oil services.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2013 BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc.

Trust Overview

BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc.’s (CII) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide investors with a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a portfolio of equity and debt securities of US and foreign issuers. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. The Trust utilizes an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance dividend yield.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objectives will be achieved.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2013, the Trust returned 14.11% based on market price and 18.97% based on NAV. For the same period, the benchmark S&P 500 ® Value Index returned 28.36%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ The Trust underperformed the benchmark index due to its option overwrite strategy, which is utilized to generate income. During the period, the option overwrite limited the Trust’s ability to capture price appreciation on its underlying portfolio holdings in the strong equity market while the benchmark index has no option component. Additionally, stock selection hurt results in several sectors including financials, energy and health care. Specifically, within financials, an underweight to money center banks proved costly as this segment continued to recover. Also having a negative impact was exposure to real estate investment trust Annaly Capital Management, Inc., which came under pressure as rising interest rates pressured the book value of the company’s underlying holdings.

Ÿ Conversely, favorable sector positioning aided relative returns. Relative to the S&P 500 ® Value Index, the Trust’s underweight in utilities proved beneficial as the sector lagged the broader equity rally during the period.

Overweight allocations to information technology (“IT”) and health care, leading sectors in the market rally, also had a positive impact on performance. Additionally, several of the Trust’s high-conviction holdings drove positive results, including Google, Inc., which continued to deliver strong growth with no signs of slowing down, as well as Sciences Applications International Corp. and American International Group, Inc., each of which moved higher on investors’ reactions to their shareholder-friendly business restructuring.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ Sector weightings in the Trust are generally a result of individual stock selection. Within that context, the Trust nearly doubled its weighting in IT while nearly eliminating exposure to utilities during the 12-month period. While other sector weightings were relatively unchanged, a number of the stocks held in the Trust were sold and replaced with new positions. Overall, the number of securities held by the Trust decreased, resulting in greater weightings of the Trust’s high-conviction positions.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

Ÿ Relative to the S&P 500 ® Value Index, the Trust ended the period overweight within IT, along with modest overweights in consumer discretionary, health care, materials and telecommunication services. In contrast, the Trust was dramatically underweight in utilities, industrials and financials.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2013 BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust

Trust Overview

BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust’s (BDJ) (the “Trust”) primary investment objective is to provide current income and current gains, with a secondary investment objective of long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing in common stocks that pay dividends and have the potential for capital appreciation and by utilizing an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance distributions paid to the Trust’s shareholders. The Trust invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its total assets in dividend paying equities. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objectives will be achieved.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2013, the Trust returned 12.09% based on market price and 15.11% based on NAV. For the same period, the Russell 1000 ® Value Index returned 28.29%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ The Trust underperformed the benchmark index due to its option overwrite strategy, which is utilized to generate income. During the period, the option overwrite limited the Trust’s ability to capture price appreciation on its underlying portfolio holdings in the strong equity market while the benchmark index has no option component. Also detracting from the Trust’s performance was a combination of an underweight position and stock selection within the financials sector. Stock selection within industrials and consumer discretionary had a negative impact on results as well. An underweight and stock selection in information technology (“IT”) hindered returns, as did an overweight and selection in consumer staples. Thematically, underweight positions at the individual stock level accounted for the majority of relative underperformance during the period. In many cases, the Trust was hurt by not owning lower-capitalized, lower-quality stocks represented in the benchmark index.

Ÿ Contributing positively to relative performance was the Trust’s underweight to the energy sector, specifically with respect to the oil, gas & consumable fuels industry. An overweight in the consumer discretionary sector, which was a strong performer during the period, also had a positive impact on results. An overweight position in industrials, particularly within the aerospace & defense industry, added substantially to relative returns during the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ During the 12-month period, portfolio turnover ultimately remained very low. However, some changes were made in financials, where the Trust

removed some of its Canadian bank holdings and added to other, more attractive industries within the sector, including regional banks and insurance companies. These changes resulted in an increased weighting in financials. Also during the period, the Trust exited some of its positions within materials and industrials given the prospect of slowing growth in emerging markets, where many of these companies have exposure. Lastly, the Trust exited positions in various utilities holdings during the period due to higher than normal valuations and uncertainty around future plans for some of the companies.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

Ÿ The investment advisor continues to maintain the view that dividend income is essential for total return, and that the prospect for dividend growth among U.S. multinational companies presents a unique investment opportunity in today’s marketplace.

Ÿ As of period end, the Trust was positioned to perform well in a wide range of economic scenarios. The Trust’s holdings emphasized companies that carry a diverse group of assets, have extensive customer bases among both retail and institutional clients, and lower sensitivity to broad changes in macroeconomic variables. By taking less factor-specific risk, the Trust typically maintains a lower volatility than the market, but remains able to capture upside as equity markets and the broader economy gain momentum. Owning companies that can participate in all parts of the economic cycle helps prepare the Trust for less certain times. The Trust continued to search for brand leadership and industry dominance in its investments with a preference for companies with the number one or number two products on the shelf in terms of market share. The Trust was also positioned to benefit from a shift in market leadership from lower-capitalized stocks to larger-capitalized stocks, while continuing to emphasize growth of income, relative protection and long-term total return as the core of its investment process. Overall, the Trust remained well-insulated, but poised to participate should markets continue to experience gains.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2013 BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust

Trust Overview

BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust’s (BOE) (the “Trust”) primary investment objective is to provide current income and current gains, with a secondary investment objective of long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in equity securities issued by companies located in countries throughout the world and utilizing an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance current gains. The Trust invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities or options on equity securities or indices or sectors of equity securities. Under normal circumstances, the Trust invests a substantial amount of its total assets in foreign issuers, issuers that primarily trade in a market located outside the United States or issuers that do a substantial amount of business outside the United States. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objectives will be achieved.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2013, the Trust returned 21.99% based on market price and 21.93% based on NAV. For the same period, the MSCI All Country World Index posted a return of 23.29%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ The Trust’s allocation to cash during a period of strong, rising equity markets was the largest detractor from performance relative to the benchmark index, which has no cash component. From a sector perspective, positioning within consumer discretionary hindered results as weaker-than-expected store traffic and an increasingly competitive promotional environment impacted some of the Trust’s holdings in apparel retail.

Ÿ Contributing positively to the Trust’s performance was favorable stock selection across nine of the ten sectors in the benchmark index, most notably within information technology (“IT”), industrials and consumer staples. In IT, a position in Facebook, Inc. drove positive results as the stock moved higher due to increased monetization of its mobile platform. Within industrials, positioning in companies such as Hino Motors benefited from Japan’s aggressive reflationary policies. Notable contributors in consumer staples included The Hain Celestial Group, Inc.,

which benefited from increased demand for organic and natural food products, and Smithfield Foods, as the company was acquired for a premium by Shuagnhui International Holdings (which is not owned by the Trust). Gains from the Trust’s option writing strategy had a positive impact on performance for the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ During the 12-month period, the Trust reduced exposure to defensive-oriented areas such as utilities and consumer staples due to concerns about the potential negative impact of rising interest rates on these sectors. These reductions funded increased allocations to the industrials and consumer discretionary sectors, adding particularly to holdings deemed likely to benefit from a recovery in European economic growth. On a regional basis, the Trust reduced exposure to emerging markets and added to developed Europe.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

Ÿ At period end, the Trust’s positioning reflected a positive outlook for the world economy. The Trust’s regional positioning was consistent with the view that Europe and Japan look the most attractive given their improving growth dynamics in addition to the recent outperformance of developed versus emerging markets. However, the Trust continued to explore and identify emerging market opportunities, albeit on tactical basis given the ongoing structural challenges faced by many of these countries.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2013 BlackRock Health Sciences Trust

Trust Overview

BlackRock Health Sciences Trust’s (BME) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies engaged in the health sciences and related industries and equity derivatives with exposure to the health sciences industry. The Trust utilizes an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance dividend yield.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2013, the Trust returned 30.38% based on market price and 33.37% based on NAV. For the same period, the Russell 3000 ® Healthcare Index returned 36.06%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ As the Trust and the benchmark index generated strong positive returns for the period, there were few detractors from relative performance. The Trust’s positioning with the health care providers & services industry hindered results due to an underweight allocation to managed health care companies and stock selection within health care services. The Trust’s option writing strategy had a negative impact on performance for the period.

Ÿ The key contributor to the Trust’s positive relative performance was an overweight allocation and strong stock selection in the biotechnology industry. Several biotechnology holdings generated particularly strong returns driven primarily by clinical developments such as favorable drug trial results, regulatory approvals and the swift adoption of new products in the market place. The Trust also benefited from stock selection within pharmaceuticals, where an underweight to poor-performing

Merck & Co, Inc. aided results, as did overweight positions in strong performers including Roche Holding AG, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. and Shire PLC. Stock selection within the health care equipment & supplies industry contributed positively as well.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ During the 12-month period, the Trust increased its overweight to biotechnology, while reducing its overweight to the health care providers & services industry with a focus on minimizing holdings with greater exposure to potential policy developments such as federal government budget reductions and subsequent health care reimbursement cuts. The Trust’s exposures to the pharmaceuticals and health care equipment & supplies industries remained generally unchanged over the period.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

Ÿ As of period end, the Trust continued to maintain a focus on innovative companies that seek to satisfy an unmet health care need or enhance current products or services. As a result, the Trust’s largest industry allocations continued to be pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. While policy uncertainty has diminished with the expected implementation of Health Care Reform, changes are still taking place due to austerity measures unfolding globally. As such, the Trust remained underweight in companies that would be at risk if government reimbursements were reduced. However, the new legislation is expected to benefit health care companies generally by creating increased consumer demand.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2013 BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust

Trust Overview

BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust’s (BGY) (the “Trust”) primary investment objective is to provide current income and current gains, with a secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in equity securities issued by companies of any market capitalization located in countries throughout the world and utilizing an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance current gains. The Trust invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities issued by non-U.S. companies of any market capitalization located in countries throughout the world. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objectives will be achieved.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2013, the Trust returned 19.86% based on market price and 19.25% based on NAV. For the same period, the MSCI All Country World Index ex-US returned 20.29%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ The Trust’s allocation to cash during a period of strong, rising equity markets was the largest detractor from performance relative to the benchmark index, which has no cash component. From a sector perspective, positioning within materials hindered results due to the Trust’s exposures to gold miners and industrial-related metals as these companies suffered the impact of falling commodities prices during the period.

Ÿ Contributing positively to the Trust’s performance was favorable stock selection across nine of the ten sectors in the benchmark index, most notably within financials, industrials and health care. In financials, the Trust’s holdings in European asset managers benefited from net new investor inflows and the recent positive performance of financial markets. Within industrials, positioning in companies such as Kubota and

Hino Motors benefited from Japan’s aggressive reflationary policies. In health care, notable performance came from Roche Holding AG driven by its robust oncology pipeline. Gains from the Trust’s option writing strategy had a positive impact on performance for the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ During the 12-month period, the Trust reduced exposure to defensive-oriented areas such as utilities and consumer staples due to concerns about the potential negative impact of rising interest rates on these sectors. These reductions funded increased allocations to the industrials and consumer discretionary sectors, adding particularly to holdings deemed likely to benefit from a recovery in European economic growth. On a regional basis, the Trust reduced exposure to emerging markets and added to developed Europe.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

Ÿ At period end, the Trust’s positioning reflected a positive outlook for the world economy. The Trust’s regional positioning was consistent with the view that Europe and Japan look the most attractive given their improving growth dynamics in addition to the recent outperformance of developed versus emerging markets. However, the Trust continued to explore and identify emerging market opportunities, albeit on tactical basis given the ongoing structural challenges faced by many of these countries.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2013 BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust

Trust Overview

BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust’s (BCF) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of energy, natural resources and basic materials companies and equity derivatives with exposure to companies in the energy, natural resources and basic materials industries. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. The Trust utilizes an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance dividend yield.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2013, the Trust returned (3.75)% based on market price and 1.81% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Natural Resources Funds category posted an average return of 9.25% based on market price and 14.45% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ Detracting from performance was the Trust’s exposure to mining, where positions in precious metals stocks particularly hurt results. Investor caution over growth in China and disappointing company earnings results (including asset write downs from a number of major miners) weighed on the mining space. Gold and precious metals producers including Newcrest Mining Ltd., Goldcorp, Inc. and Eldorado Gold Corp. were among the weakest performers. Stock selection within chemicals, specifically fertilizers & agricultural chemicals, also had a negative impact on results with especially poor performance from Potash Corp of Saskatchewan, Inc. and Agrium, Inc.

Ÿ Exposure to oil & gas exploration & production companies, one of the Trust’s largest industry allocations, was the primary driver of positive returns for the period. The strong performance of this industry was supported by a series of promising results from drilling in the Utica and Marcellus shale regions as well as the Permian basin. Holdings in U.S.-

based companies Pioneer Natural Resources Co., Gulfport Energy Corp., and EQT Corp. were among the Trust’s strongest individual performers. Noble Energy, Inc. performed particularly well due to continuous news flow regarding the company’s development project in the United States. The Trust also benefited from its exposure to the diversified chemicals sub-industry, with E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. posting strong gains for the period. The Trust’s high-conviction holdings within the industrial gases, paper products and paper packaging sub-industries generated positive returns. Gains from the Trust’s option writing strategy had a positive impact on performance for the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ During the 12-month period, the Trust initiated metals & mining positions in Nevsun Resources Ltd., Lundin Mining Corp. and New Gold, Inc. and exited a position in Harry Winston Diamond Corp. The Trust reduced the number of stocks held in energy, consolidating around its high-conviction positions while paring down its exposures to coal and oil & gas services. There were no significant positioning changes in basic materials given the long-term nature of the investment advisor’s outlook for this segment.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

Ÿ As of period end, the Trust held its largest exposures in metals & mining and energy stocks, with a smaller allocation to basic materials companies. This positioning reflects the relative outlooks and valuations for each of these segments.

The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2013 BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust

Trust Overview

BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust’s (BCX) (the “Trust”) primary investment objective is to seek high current income and current gains, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Trust will seek to achieve its investment objectives, under normal market conditions, by investing at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities issued by commodity or natural resources companies, derivatives with exposure to commodity or natural resources companies or investments in securities and derivatives linked to the underlying price movement of commodities or natural resources. The Trust utilizes an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance dividend yield.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objectives will be achieved.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2013, the Trust returned (9.19)% based on market price and (3.61)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Natural Resources Funds category posted an average return of 9.25% based on market price and 14.45% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ Detracting from performance was the Trust’s exposure to mining, where positions in precious metals stocks particularly hurt results. Investor caution over growth in China and disappointing company earnings results, including asset write-downs from a number of major miners, weighed on the mining space. Gold and precious metals producers including Goldcorp, Inc., Silver Wheaton Corp. and Eldorado Gold Corp. were among the weaker performers held in the Trust.

Ÿ Conversely, exposure to US energy stocks proved beneficial as optimism around the economic recovery helped create momentum for the sector. The Trust’s holdings in the integrated oil & gas and oil & gas exploration

& production sub-industries performed especially well, with names including Hess Corp. and ConocoPhillips adding significantly to returns. Additional positive performance came from the Trust’s exposure to agriculture, where Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. posted strong gains driven by expectations for a record-breaking corn crop in 2013. Gains from the Trust’s option writing strategy added to performance for the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ During the 12-month period, the Trust added an allocation to agriculture in order to broaden exposure to the overall natural resources space. In the mining sleeve of the portfolio, the Trust reduced small-cap exposure in order to minimize funding risk. In addition, the Trust reduced its weighting in precious metals while increasing exposure to copper and bulk commodities. Within energy, the Trust reduced the number of holdings, partly through selling some of its exposure to coal, and increased its weighting in large-cap integrated oil & gas companies.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

Ÿ As of period end, the Trust’s largest allocation was the energy sector, while the remaining exposure was divided broadly between metals & mining and agriculture stocks. This positioning reflects the relative outlooks and valuations for each of these segments.

The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2013 BlackRock Utility and Infrastructure Trust

Trust Overview

BlackRock Utility and Infrastructure Trust’s (BUI) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in equity securities issued by companies that are engaged in the Utilities and Infrastructure business segments anywhere in the world and by utilizing an option writing (selling) strategy in an effort to enhance current gains. The Trust considers the “Utilities” business segment to include products, technologies and services connected to the management, ownership, operation, construction, development or financing of facilities used to generate, transmit or distribute electricity, water, natural resources or telecommunications and the “Infrastructure” business segment to include companies that own or operate infrastructure assets or that are involved in the development, construction, distribution or financing of infrastructure assets. Under normal circumstances, the Trust invests a substantial amount of its total assets in foreign issuers, issuers that primarily trade in a market located outside the United States or issuers that do a substantial amount of business outside the United States. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2013, the Trust returned 4.37% based on market price and 11.18% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Utility Funds category posted an average return of 10.94% based on market price and 16.90% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ The Trust benefited from its large allocations to the multi-utilities and electric utilities industries (with each industry representing approximately 20% of the Trust’s net assets). Also contributing positively was a large allocation to the oil, gas & consumable fuels industry, which was comprised largely of master limited partnership (“MLP”) positions. The Trust’s exposure to the diversified telecommunication services industry was another substantial driver of performance during the period. Gains from the Trust’s option writing strategy had a positive impact on performance for the period.

Ÿ Detracting from performance was the Trust’s small exposure to metals & mining, which was among the weaker-performing industries during the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ The Trust is structured around long-term themes and turnover remains low; however, there were some changes during the period. The Trust reduced exposure to Brazil, particularly in electric utilities and toll roads. The investment advisor continues to believe the long-horizon investment theme for Brazil remains intact, however, concerns about near-term political issues potentially having a negative impact on earnings growth

and cash flow was the rationale behind the sale of several Brazilian holdings during the period. In many cases, proceeds from these sales were used to increase existing allocations to higher-quality domestic utilities, such as NextEra Energy, Inc. and Duke Energy Corp., given their financial strength. Within the utilities sector, there has been a widening gap between companies able to confidently present growth and capital expenditure plans for the future and those that cannot. The Trust maintained a preference for the former, which is the structural reason behind many of the portfolio changes during the period.

Describe Trust positioning at period end.

Ÿ Although U.S.-based utilities and MLPs have come under some near-term pressure as a result of rising interest rates, the investment advisor continues to believe that investment fundamentals in both industries remain intact. As of period end, the Trust’s U.S. utilities exposure continued to emphasize companies that demonstrate strong growth in earnings and dividends driven by their investment in core infrastructure projects such as improving electric transmission and distribution. The Trust also continued to identify attractive valuations in Europe. As fiscal policy uncertainty abated, regulated corporations have turned their focus toward cost-cutting and placing their firms in a strong financial position in anticipation of an improving local economy. With respect to construction/infrastructure companies, airports have shown continued signs of traffic growth and traffic volume on toll roads has stabilized. As such, the investment advisor has become more optimistic about finding opportunities in the transportation infrastructure industry, an area in which the Trust has normally limited its exposure. The Trust continued to limit its level of investment in ports given their high correlation with economic growth in both export and import countries.

The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Trusts may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including foreign currency exchange contracts and options, as specified in Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, index and/or market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market, equity, foreign currency exchange rate and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the derivative

financial instrument. The Trusts’ ability to use a derivative financial instrument successfully depends on the investment advisor’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require a Trust to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation a Trust can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders or may cause a Trust to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. The Trusts’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

Ÿ Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access

Ÿ Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

Ÿ Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The following tables summarize the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy as of October 31, 2013:

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

Ÿ Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access

Ÿ Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

Ÿ Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

Ÿ Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access

Ÿ Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

Ÿ Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The following tables summarize the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy as of October 31, 2013:

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

Ÿ Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access

Ÿ Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

Ÿ Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The following tables summarize the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy as of October 31, 2013:

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

Ÿ Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access

Ÿ Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

Ÿ Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

Ÿ Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities or the Trust has the ability to access

Ÿ Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

Ÿ Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

See Notes to Financial Statements.

ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2013 65

Table of Contents

Schedule of Investments (continued) BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust (BOE)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Schedule of Investments (concluded) BlackRock Health Sciences Trust (BME)

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

Ÿ Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access

Ÿ Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

Ÿ Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

Ÿ Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access

Ÿ Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

Ÿ Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The following tables summarize the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy as of October 31, 2013:

Certain foreign securities are fair valued utilizing an external pricing service to reflect any significant market movements between the time the Trust values such foreign securities and the earlier closing of foreign markets. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the disclosure hierarchy. As of October 31, 2012, securities with a value of $9,537,865 were systematically fair valued due to significant market movements, but were not valued using systematic fair values as of October 31, 2013. Therefore, these securities were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 during the period October 31, 2012 to October 31, 2013.

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

Ÿ Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access

Ÿ Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

Ÿ Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

Ÿ Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access

Ÿ Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

Ÿ Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

Ÿ Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access

Ÿ Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

Ÿ Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instrument, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

1. Organization:

BlackRock Dividend Income Trust (formerly BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust) (“BQY”), BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust (“BQR”), BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust (“BGR”), BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. (“CII”), BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust (“BDJ”), BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust (“BOE”), BlackRock Health Sciences Trust (“BME”), BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust (“BGY”), BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust (“BCF”), BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust (“BCX”), and BlackRock Utility and Infrastructure Trust (“BUI”) (each, a “Trust” and collectively, the “Trusts”) are organized as Delaware statutory trusts, except CII which is organized as a Maryland Corporation. BQY, CII, BDJ and BOE are registered as diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). BQR, BGR, BME, BGY, BCF, BCX and BUI are registered as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the 1940 Act. Prior to commencement of operations on November 25, 2011, BUI had no operations other than those relating to organizational matters and the sale of 6,964 Common Shares on August 25, 2011 to BlackRock HoldCo 2, Inc. for $100,012. Investment operations for BUI commenced on November 25, 2011. The Board of Directors and Board of Trustees of the Trusts are collectively referred to throughout this report as the “Board of Trustees” or the “Board”, and the directors/trustees thereof are collectively referred to throughout this report as “Trustees.” The Trusts determine and make available for publication the NAVs of their shares on a daily basis.

Reorganizations: The Board and shareholders of BDJ and the Board of Trustees and shareholders of each of BlackRock Equity Dividend Trust (“BDV”) and BlackRock Strategic Equity Dividend Trust (“BDT”) (individually, a “Target Trust” and collectively the “Target Trusts”) approved the reorganizations of each Target Trust into BDJ pursuant to which BDJ acquired substantially all of the assets and substantially all of the liabilities of each Target Trust in exchange for an equal aggregate value of newly-issued BDJ shares.

Each common shareholder of a Target Trust received common shares of BDJ in an amount equal to the aggregate net asset value of such shareholder’s Target Trust shares, as determined at the close of business on February 24, 2012.

The reorganizations were accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares of BDJ in the following amounts and at the following conversion ratios:

Target Trusts — BDV 54,638,903 1.27840257 69,850,515
BDT 26,908,028 1.41137167 37,977,229

Each Target Trust’s net assets and composition of net assets on February 24, 2012, the date of the reorganization, were as follows:

Target Trusts Net Assets Paid-in Capital Distributions in Excess of Net Investment Income Accumulated Net Realized Loss Net Unrealized Appreciation
BDV $ 590,660,911 $ 647,693,876 $ (173,949 ) $ (92,018,281 ) $ 35,159,265
BDT $ 321,139,863 $ 327,248,656 $ 316,616 $ (29,161,302 ) $ 22,735,893

For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by BDJ were recorded at fair value. However, the cost basis of the investments received from the Target Trusts were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of BDJ’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

The aggregate net assets of BDJ immediately after the acquisition amounted to $1,517,719,362. Each Target Trust’s fair value and cost of investments prior to the reorganization were as follows:

Target Trusts Fair Value of Investments Cost of Investments
BDV $ 588,487,468 $ 553,328,182
BDT $ 318,996,795 $ 296,260,902

The purpose of these transactions was to combine three funds managed by the Manager, the investment advisor to BDJ, BDV and BDT with the same or substantially similar (but not identical) investment objectives, investment policies, strategies, risks and restrictions. Each reorganization was a tax-free event and was effective on February 27, 2012.

Assuming the acquisitions had been completed on November 1, 2011, the beginning of the fiscal reporting period of BDJ, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2012, are as follows:

• Net investment income: $32,331,130

• Net realized and change in unrealized gain/loss on investments: $141,874,756

• Net increase in net assets resulting from operations: $174,205,886

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of BDV and BDT that have been included in BDJ’s Statement of Operations since February 27, 2012.

Reorganization costs incurred by BDJ in connection with the reorganization were paid by BDJ.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Basis of Consolidation: BCX’s accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BlackRock Cayman Resources & Commodities Strategy Fund, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of BCX and primarily invests in commodity-related instruments. The Subsidiary enables BCX to hold these commodity-related instruments and satisfy regulated investment company tax requirements. BCX may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions, if any, have been eliminated. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment policies and restrictions that apply to BCX.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The Trusts’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Trusts.

Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Trusts would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Trusts determine the fair values of their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) is the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of the pricing function for the Trusts for all financial instruments.

The Trusts value their investments in BlackRock Liquidity Series, LLC Money Market Series (the “Money Market Series”) at fair value, which is ordinarily based upon each Trust’s pro rata ownership in the underlying fund’s net assets. The Money Market Series seeks current income consistent with maintaining liquidity and preserving capital. Although the Money Market Series is not registered under the 1940 Act, its investments will follow the parameters of investments by a money market fund that is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The Trusts may withdraw up to 25% of their investment daily, although the manager of the Money Market Series, in its sole discretion, may permit an investor to withdraw more than 25% on any one day.

Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at the NAV each business day.

Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices at the close of the options market in which the options trade. An exchange-traded option for which there is no mean price is valued at the last bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that the prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the option. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options are valued by an independent pricing service using a mathematical model which incorporates a number of market data factors, such as the trades and prices of the underlying instruments.

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that each Trust might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, deem relevant consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, which include the market approach, income approach and/or in the case of recent investments, the cost approach, as appropriate. The market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions. The income approach generally is used to discount future cash flows to present value and adjusted for liquidity as appropriate. These factors include but are not limited to: (i) attributes specific to the investment or asset; (ii) the principal market for the investment or asset; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment or asset; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment or asset, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts and/or default rates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist including regular due diligence of the Trusts’ pricing vendors, regular reviews of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices

and large movements in market values and reviews of any market related activity. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.

Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such instruments may occur between the foreign market close and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of each Trust’s net assets. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to affect the value of such instruments materially, those instruments may be Fair Value Assets and valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Global Valuation Committee, or it’s delegate, using a pricing service and/or policies approved by the Board. Each business day, each Trust uses a pricing service to assist with the valuation of certain foreign exchange-traded equity securities and foreign exchange-traded and OTC options (the “Systematic Fair Value Price”). Using current market factors, the Systematic Fair Value Price is designed to value such foreign securities and foreign options at fair value as of the close of business on the NYSE, which follows the close of the local markets.

Foreign Currency: The Trusts’ books and records are maintained in US dollars. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective date of such transactions. Generally, when the US dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Trusts’ investments denominated in that currency will lose value because that currency is worth fewer US dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the US dollar falls in relative value.

The Trusts do not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of investments held or sold for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those investments but are included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments. The Trusts report realized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency related transactions as components of net realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that each Trust either delivers collateral or segregates assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., foreign currency exchange contracts or options written), each Trust will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, a Trust engaging in such transactions may have

requirements to deliver/deposit securities to/with an exchange or broker-dealer as collateral for certain investments.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when a Trust is informed of the ex-dividend date. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax at various rates may be imposed on capital gains, dividends and interest. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions paid by the Trusts are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Subject to each Trust’s level distribution plan, each Trust intends to make quarterly cash dividends and/or distributions to shareholders, which may consist of net investment income, net options premium, net realized and unrealized gains on investments, and/or return of capital.

Portions of return of capital distributions under US GAAP may be taxed at ordinary income rates.

The character of dividends and distributions is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. The portion of distributions that exceeds a Trust’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which are measured on a tax basis, will constitute a non-taxable return of capital. Realized net capital gains can be offset by capital losses carried forward from prior years. However, certain Trusts have capital loss carry-forwards from pre-2012 tax years that offset realized net capital gains but do not offset current earnings and profits. Consequently, if distributions in any tax year are less than a Trust’s current earnings and profits but greater than net investment income and net realized capital gains (taxable income), distributions in excess of taxable income are not treated as non-taxable return of capital, but rather may be taxable to shareholders at ordinary income rates. Under certain circumstances, taxable excess distributions could be significant. See Note 7, Income Tax Information, for the tax character of each Trust’s distributions paid during the period.

Income Taxes: It is the Trusts’ policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

The Trusts file US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Trusts’ US federal tax returns remains open for each of

the four years ended October 31, 2013 with the exception of BCX and BUI. The statute of limitations on BCX’s US federal tax returns remains open for the two years ended October 31, 2013 and the period ended October 31, 2011. The statute of limitations on BUI’s US federal tax returns remains open for the year ended October 31, 2013 and the period ended October 31, 2012. The statutes of limitations on each Trust’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

Recent Accounting Standards: In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance that will expand current disclosure requirements on the offsetting of certain assets and liabilities. The new disclosures will be required for investments and derivative financial instruments subject to master netting or similar agreements which are eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about such investments and transactions in the financial statements. In January 2013, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies, which investments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements. The scope of the disclosure requirements for offsetting will be limited to derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact, if any, of this guidance on the Trusts’ financial statement disclosures.

Deferred Compensation: Under the Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) approved by each Trust’s Board, except CII, the independent Trustees (“Independent Trustees”) may defer a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Trustees. This has the same economic effect for the Independent Trustees as if the Independent Trustees had invested the deferred amounts directly in certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds.

The plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of each Trust. Prior to March 31, 2012, each Trust elected to invest in common shares of certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations.

S&P Quality Rankings: BQY had been granted a license by Standard & Poor’s ® (“S&P”) to use the S&P Quality Rankings and the S&P International Quality Rankings. Effective September 17, 2013, BQY terminated its license to use either the S&P Quality Rankings or the S&P International Quality Rankings. “Standard & Poor’s,” “S&P,” “Standard & Poor’s Earnings and Dividend Rankings,” “S&P Earnings and Dividend Rankings,” “Standard & Poor’s Quality Rankings,” “Standard & Poor’s International Quality Rankings,” “S&P International Quality Rankings”

and “S&P Quality Rankings” are trademarks of S&P and had been licensed for use by BQY. BQY was not sponsored, endorsed, managed, sold or promoted by S&P and S&P made no representation regarding the advisability of investing in BQY. BQY is required to pay a quarterly licensing fee, which is shown in the Statements of Operations as licensing, for a period of 1 year following the termination date.

Other: Expenses directly related to a Trust are charged to that Trust. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses directly related to the Trusts and other shared expenses pro rated to the Trusts are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets or other appropriate methods.

The Trusts have an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which, if applicable, are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statements of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.

3. Securities and Other Investments:

Securities Lending: The Trusts may lend securities to approved borrowers, such as banks, brokers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges cash, securities issued or guaranteed by the US government or irrevocable letters of credit issued by a bank as collateral. The initial collateral received by the Trusts should have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on US exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Trusts and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Trust on the next business day. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Statements of Operations, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to the securities lending agent. During the term of the loan, the Trusts earn dividends or interest income on the securities loaned but do not receive interest income on the securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral are shown separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a component of investments at value, and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. The cash collateral invested by the securities lending agent, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), if any, is disclosed in the Schedules of Investments.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Trusts under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”), which provide the right,

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Trusts, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Trusts can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or repledge the collateral.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate this risk the Trusts benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent. The Trusts also could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received. During the year ended October 31, 2013, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash.

4. Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Trusts engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Trusts and/or to economically hedge, their exposure to certain risks such as equity risk or foreign currency exchange rate risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Certain Trusts enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to or hedge exposure away from foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by a Trust, help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments held by a Trust are denominated. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Trust as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a Trust record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a foreign currency exchange contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies.

Options: The Trusts purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease their exposure to underlying instruments (including equity risk and/or commodity price risk) and/or, in the case of options written, to generate gains from options premiums. A call option gives the purchaser (holder) of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller (writer) to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. When the Trusts purchase (write) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by the Trusts is reflected as an asset (liability). The amount of the asset (liability) is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased (written). When an instrument is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the instrument acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the instrument sold. When an option expires (or the Trusts enter into a closing transaction), the Trusts realize a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premiums received or paid). When the Trusts write a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that the Trusts hold the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty. When the Trusts write a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation.

In purchasing and writing options, the Trusts bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Trusts may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Exercise of a written option could result in the Trusts purchasing or selling a security when it otherwise would not, or at a price different from the current market value.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Counterparty Credit Risk: A derivative contract may suffer a mark to market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

A Trust’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by such Trust. For OTC options purchased, each Trust bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by such Trust should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Trusts do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Trusts, and not, the counterparty to perform.

With exchange traded purchased options, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Trusts since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Trusts.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Trusts mitigate its counterparty risk, the Trusts may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between each Trust and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, each Trust may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Trust’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Trust fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Trust to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

Collateral Requirements: For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement

and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Trust and the counterparty.

Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Trust and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Trust, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $500,000) before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of business of the Trusts and any additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Trusts on the next business day. Typically, the Trusts and counterparties are not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to a Trust from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, a Trust bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. See Note 1 “Segregation and Collateralization” for information with respect to collateral practices.

8. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:

In the normal course of business, the Trusts invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Trusts may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Trusts; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Trusts may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Trusts have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Trusts manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Trusts to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Trusts’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by

their value recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Trusts.

As of October 31, 2013, the Trusts listed below invested a significant portion of their assets in securities in the following sectors:

Utilities BQR, BUI
Energy BGR, BCF, BCX, BUI
Information Technology CII
Financials BDJ
Health Care BME
Materials BCF, BCX

Changes in economic conditions affecting these sectors would have a greater impact on these Trusts and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.

BOE and BGY invest a substantial amount of their assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. When a Trust concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries may have a significant impact on their investment performance. Foreign issuers may not be subject to the same uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices as used in the

We have also audited the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments of BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust (collectively with BlackRock Dividend Income Trust (formerly known as BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust), BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust, BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust, BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc., BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust, BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust, BlackRock Health Sciences Trust, BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust, BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust, and BlackRock Utility and Infrastructure Trust, the “Trusts”), as of October 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trusts’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards

require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Trusts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trusts’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BlackRock Dividend Income Trust (formerly known as BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust), BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust, BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust, BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc., BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust, BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust, BlackRock Health Sciences Trust, BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust, BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust, and BlackRock Utility and Infrastructure Trust, the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, and the consolidated financial position of BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust, the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the consolidated changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Activities and Composition of the Board

Each Board consists of eleven individuals, nine of whom are not “interested persons” of such Fund as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board Members are responsible for the oversight of the operations of the Funds and perform the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chairman of each Board is an Independent Board Member. Each Board has established six standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight Committee, an Executive Committee, and a Leverage Committee, each of which is chaired by an Independent Board Member and composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Executive Committee and the Leverage Committee, each of which also has one interested Board Member).

The Agreements

Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Boards are required to consider the continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. The Boards have four quarterly meetings per year, each extending over two days, and a fifth one-day meeting to consider specific information surrounding the consideration of renewing the Agreements. In connection with this process, the Boards assessed, among other things, the nature, scope

and quality of the services provided to the Funds by BlackRock, its personnel and its affiliates, including investment management, administrative and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services, risk oversight, compliance and assistance in meeting applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

The Boards, acting directly and through their respective committees, considered at each of their meetings, and from time to time as appropriate, factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements, including the services and support provided by BlackRock to the Funds and their shareholders. Among the matters the Boards considered were: (a) investment performance for one-year, three-year, five-year and/or since inception periods, as applicable, against peer funds, and applicable benchmarks, if any, as well as senior management’s and portfolio managers’ analysis of the reasons for any over-performance or underperformance against their peers and/or benchmark, as applicable; (b) fees, including advisory, administration, if applicable, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by the Funds for services such as call center; (c) Fund operating expenses and how BlackRock allocates expenses to the Funds; (d) the resources devoted to, risk oversight of, and compliance reports relating to, implementation of the Funds’ investment objectives, policies and restrictions; (e) the Funds’ compliance with their Code of Ethics and other compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates; (g) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls and risk and compliance oversight mechanisms; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Boards; (i) the use of brokerage commissions and execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) BlackRock’s implementation of the Funds’ valuation and liquidity procedures; (k) an analysis of management fees for products with similar investment objectives across the open-end fund, closed-end fund and institutional account product channels, as applicable; (l) BlackRock’s compensation methodology for its investment professionals and the incentives it creates; and (m) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business.

The Boards have engaged in an ongoing strategic review with BlackRock of opportunities to consolidate funds and of BlackRock’s commitment to investment performance. In addition, the Boards requested and BlackRock provided an analysis of fair valuation and stale pricing policies. BlackRock also furnished information to the Boards in response to specific questions. These questions covered issues such as BlackRock’s profitability, investment performance and management fee levels. The Boards further considered the importance of: (i) organizational and structural variables to investment performance; (ii) rates of portfolio turnover; (iii) BlackRock’s performance accountability for portfolio managers; (iv) marketing support for the funds; (v) services provided to the Funds by BlackRock affiliates; and (vi) BlackRock’s oversight of relationships with third party service providers.

Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements

The Approval Process: Prior to the April Meeting, the Boards requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The Boards are engaged in a process with its independent legal counsel and BlackRock to review the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist their deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the April Meeting included (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on Fund fees and expenses as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper (“Expense Peers”) and the investment performance of the Funds as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper1 as well as the investment performance of each of BQY, BGR, CII, BDJ, BOE, BME, BGY and BUI as compared with its custom benchmark; (b) information on the profits realized by BlackRock and its affiliates pursuant to the Agreements and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment management fees charged to other clients, such as institutional clients and open-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as applicable; (d) review of non-management fees; (e) the existence, impact and sharing of potential economies of scale; (f) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by each Fund to BlackRock and (g) if applicable, a comparison of management fees to similar BlackRock closed-end funds, as classified by Lipper.

At the April Meeting, the Boards reviewed materials relating to their consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the April Meeting, and as a culmination of the Boards’ year-long deliberative process, the Boards presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the June Meeting.

At the June Meeting, each Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and its Fund, and the Board, including the Independent Board Members, of each of BQY, BQR, BGR, CII, BDJ, BGY, BCF, BCX and BUI, unanimously approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement among the Manager, the Sub-Advisor, and its Fund, each for a one-year term ending June 30, 2014. In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Boards considered: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of the Funds and BlackRock; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds; (d) the Funds’ costs to investors compared to the costs of Expense Peers and performance compared to the relevant performance comparison as previously discussed; (e) economies of scale; (f) fall-out benefits to BlackRock as a result of its relationship with the Funds; and (g) other factors deemed relevant by the Board Members.

The Boards also considered other matters they deemed important to the approval process, such as payments made to BlackRock or its affiliates relating to securities lending, services related to the valuation and pricing of Fund portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Boards’ review. The Boards noted the willingness of BlackRock personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Boards. The Boards did not identify any particular information as determinative, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered.

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by BlackRock

The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and the resulting performance of the Funds. Throughout the year, the Boards compared Fund performance to the performance of a comparable group of closed-end funds and/or the performance of a relevant benchmark, if any. The Boards met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment operations, including the senior investment officers. Each Board also reviewed the materials provided by its Fund’s portfolio management team discussing the Fund’s performance and the Fund’s investment objective, strategies and outlook.

The Boards considered, among other factors, with respect to BlackRock: the number, education and experience of investment personnel generally and their Funds’ portfolio management teams; investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage; portfolio trading capabilities; use of technology; commitment to compliance; credit analysis capabilities; risk analysis and oversight capabilities; and the approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Boards engaged in a review of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to their Funds’ portfolio management teams and BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high quality talent and create performance incentives.

In addition to advisory services, the Boards considered the quality of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided to the Funds. BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Funds with certain services (in addition to any such services provided to the Funds by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Funds. In particular, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Funds with the following administrative services including, among others: (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus, the summary prospectus (as applicable) and the statement of additional information in connection with the initial public offering and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) preparing communications with analysts to support secondary market trading of the Funds; (iii) assisting with daily accounting and pricing; (iv) preparing periodic filings

with regulators and stock exchanges; (v) overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; (vi) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (vii) providing legal and compliance support; (viii) furnishing analytical and other support to assist the Boards in their consideration of strategic issues such as the merger or consolidation of certain closed-end funds; and (ix) performing other administrative functions necessary for the operation of the Funds, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements and call center services. The Boards reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, shareholder services, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and BlackRock

Each Board, including the Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of its Funds. In preparation for the April Meeting, the Boards worked with its independent legal counsel, BlackRock and Lipper to develop a template for, and were provided with reports independently prepared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of each Fund’s performance. The Boards also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed various factors that affect Lipper’s rankings. In connection with their review, each Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance, based on net asset value (NAV), of its Fund as compared to other funds in its applicable Lipper category, and with respect to BQY, BGR, CII, BDJ, BOE, BME, BGY and BUI, the investment performance of the Fund as compared with its custom benchmark. The Boards were provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds and periodically meets with Lipper representatives to review their methodology. Each Board and its Performance Oversight Committee regularly review, and meet with Fund management to discuss, the performance of its Fund throughout the year.

The Board of BUI noted that BUI’s performance exceeded its customized benchmark during the one-year period reported. BlackRock believes that performance relative to the customized benchmark is an appropriate performance metric for BUI.

The Board of each of BQY, BGR, CII, BDJ, BOE, BME and BGY noted that its respective Fund underperformed its customized benchmark during the one-year period reported. BlackRock believes that performance relative to the customized benchmark is an appropriate performance metric for each of BQY, BGR, CII, BDJ, BOE, BME and BGY. The Board of each of BQY, BGR, CII, BDJ, BOE, BME and BGY and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for its respective Fund’s underperformance during the one-year period compared to the Fund’s customized benchmark.

The Board of BQY was informed that, among other things, an underweight to financials and stock selection within the sector was the largest detractor from relative returns during the period. Also, negative stock selection in healthcare and consumer discretionary and BQY’s cash

position proved detrimental relative to the customized benchmark returns during the period.

The Board of BGR was informed that, among other things, relative underperformance to the customized benchmark occurred in the first half of 2012, at a time in which the energy sector underperformed the market and was one of the weakest performing sectors in the broad equity market. Exposure weighting to oil, gas and especially coal producers within the strategy hindered performance relative to the customized benchmark during this time.

The Board of CII was informed that, among other things, stock selection was the driving factor behind CII’s underperformance. The largest detractor from performance was an underweight exposure to the financial sector as well as stock selection in the group. In addition, stock selection in information technology and healthcare detracted from returns.

The Board of BDJ was informed that, among other things, the largest detractor from relative performance during the past year was a combination of stock selection and an underweight to the financial sector.

The Board of each of BOE and BGY was informed that, among other things, stock selection in industrials and commodities contributed to its respective Fund’s underperformance compared to the Fund’s customized benchmark.

The Board of BME was informed that, among other things, the largest performance detractor, health care providers and services, was hampered by the team’s overweight allocation to the managed care industry, which declined due to the uncertain business impact from healthcare reform. Furthermore, stock selection in the health care services industry hurt relative performance.

The Board of BQR noted that BQR ranked in the second, fourth and fourth quartiles against its Lipper Performance Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, respectively. The Board of BQR noted BQR’s improved performance, relative to its peers, during the one-year period. The Board of BQR and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for the Fund’s underperformance during the three- and five-year periods compared to its Lipper Performance Universe. BQR’s Board was informed that, among other things, over the past three- and five-years on an absolute basis, the new-energy sector was the largest detractor from performance. The new-energy sector underperformed broader markets over this period (as well as the water sector and the agriculture sector). The majority of the underperformance in the new-energy sector was due to exposure to the renewable energy sector.

The Board of BCF noted that BCF ranked in the third, fourth and fourth quartiles against its Lipper Performance Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, respectively. The Board of BCF and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for the Fund’s underperformance during these periods compared to its Lipper Performance Universe. BCF’s Board was informed that, among other things, the energy and materials sectors had underperformed most other broad

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued)

market sectors, causing BCF to underperform its sector equity peer universe. The energy segment was flat on the year in terms of absolute performance, but detracted from performance relative to the peer universe as energy was one of the weakest performing sectors in the broad market. Performance among energy subgroups was mixed. Exposure to coal names and oil service names also hindered performance. Over the longer-term three- and five-year periods, the sector allocations to energy and materials were the primary cause for underperformance versus the Lipper Performance Universe.

The Board of BCX noted that BCX ranked in the fourth and third quartiles against its Lipper Performance Universe for the one-year and since-inception periods reported, respectively. The Board of BCX and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for the Fund’s underperformance during these periods compared to its Lipper Performance Universe. BCX’s Board was informed that, among other things, the energy and materials sectors had underperformed most other broad market sectors, causing BCX to underperform its sector equity Lipper Performance Universe, which includes many funds exposed to stronger-performing sectors. The underperformance of commodity-related sectors has been the key factor in BCX’s underperformance of its peer group since inception. The metals sector had the strongest negative impact on the one-year return. This was largely due to exposure to gold and silver miners, which suffered through much of the year and particularly in the fourth quarter. The energy sleeve was flat on the year in absolute terms, but hindered performance relative to peers as energy was weaker than both the broad market and most other sectors in 2012.

The Board of each of BQY, BQR, BGR, CII, BDJ, BOE, BME, BGY, BCF and BCX and BlackRock also discussed BlackRock’s strategy for improving its respective Fund’s performance and BlackRock’s commitment to providing the resources necessary to assist its respective Fund’s portfolio managers and to improve its respective Fund’s performance.

BlackRock and the Board of each of BGR, CII, BOE, BGY, BCF and BCX previously had concurred, given each Fund’s poor historical performance, in making certain changes within the Fund’s portfolio management team. Both BlackRock and the Board of each of BGR, CII, BOE, BGY, BCF and BCX are hopeful that the change in portfolio management will result in improved performance going forward, although there can be no assurance that will be the case. The Board of each of BGR, CII, BOE, BGY, BCF and BCX will continue to monitor its respective Fund’s performance.

The Board of BQY also noted that BQY will undergo a change in its investment strategy, and in connection with that, changed its name from BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust to BlackRock Dividend Income Trust, effective as of August 13, 2013.

The Boards noted that BlackRock has recently made, and continues to make, changes to the organization of BlackRock’s overall portfolio management structure designed to result in strengthened leadership teams.

C. Consideration of the Advisory/Management Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Funds

Each Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed its Fund’s contractual management fee rate compared with the other funds in its Lipper category. The contractual management fee rate represents a combination of the advisory fee and any administrative fees, before taking into account any reimbursements or fee waivers. Each Board also compared its Fund’s total net operating expense ratio, as well as actual management fee rate, to those of other funds in its Lipper category. The total net operating expense ratio and actual management fee rate both give effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers that benefit the funds. The Boards considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, including institutional accounts.

The Boards received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition. The Boards were also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to the Funds. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to the Funds and other funds the Boards currently oversee for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the prior two years. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to certain other fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Boards recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds managed, precision of expense allocations and business mix. As a result, comparing profitability is difficult.

The Boards noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s overall operating margin, in general, compared to that of certain other publicly-traded asset management firms. The Boards considered the differences between BlackRock and these other firms, including the contribution of technology at BlackRock, BlackRock’s expense management, and the relative product mix.

In addition, the Boards considered the cost of the services provided to the Funds by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating to the management of the Funds and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of its analysis, the Boards reviewed BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Funds. The Boards also considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Boards.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued)

The Board of each of BQY, CII, BDJ, BME and BUI noted that its respective Fund’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the first quartile relative to the Fund’s Expense Peers.

The Board of each of BGR, BCF, BOE and BCX noted that its respective Fund’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the second quartile relative to the Fund’s Expense Peers.

The Board of each of BQR and BGY noted that its respective Fund’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the second quartile relative to the Fund’s Expense Peers. After discussions between the Board of each of BQR and BGY, including the Independent Board Members, and BlackRock, the Board of BQR and the Board of BGY and BlackRock agreed to a voluntary advisory fee reduction for each Fund, which results in savings to shareholders, effective June 6, 2013.

D. Economies of Scale

Each Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of its Fund increase. Each Board also considered the extent to which its Fund benefits from such economies and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or breakpoint structure in order to enable the Fund to participate in these economies of scale, for example through the use of breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the asset level of the Fund.

Based on the Boards’ review and consideration of the issue, the Boards concluded that most closed-end funds do not have fund level breakpoints because closed-end funds generally do not experience substantial growth after the initial public offering. They are typically priced at scale at a fund’s inception. The Boards noted that only one closed-end fund in the Fund Complex has breakpoints in its advisory fee structure.

E. Other Factors Deemed Relevant by the Board Members

The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, also took into account other ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates may derive from their respective relationships with the Funds, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios and risk management personnel, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates as service providers to the Funds, including securities lending and cash management services. The Boards also considered BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Boards also noted that BlackRock may use and benefit from third party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain registered fund transactions to assist in managing all or a number of its other client accounts. The Boards further noted that they had considered the investment by BlackRock’s funds in exchange traded funds (i.e., ETFs) without any offset against the management fees payable by the funds to BlackRock.

In connection with its consideration of the Agreements, the Boards also received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Boards received reports from BlackRock which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year.

The Boards noted the competitive nature of the closed-end fund marketplace, and that shareholders are able to sell their Fund shares in the secondary market if they believe that the Fund’s fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.

The Boards also considered the various notable initiatives and projects BlackRock performed in connection with its closed-end fund product line. These initiatives included completion of the refinancing of auction rate preferred securities; efforts to eliminate product overlap with fund mergers; ongoing services to manage leverage that has become increasingly complex; share repurchases and other support initiatives for certain BlackRock funds; and continued communications efforts with shareholders, fund analysts and financial advisers. With respect to the latter, the Independent Board Members noted BlackRock’s continued commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds through a comprehensive secondary market communication program designed to raise investor and analyst awareness and understanding of closed-end funds. BlackRock’s support services included, among other things: continuing communications concerning the refinancing efforts related to auction rate preferred securities; sponsoring and participating in conferences; communicating with closed-end fund analysts covering the BlackRock funds throughout the year; providing marketing and product updates for the closed-end funds; and maintaining and enhancing its closed-end fund website.

Conclusion

Each Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and its Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2014, and the Board, including the Independent Board Members, of each of BQY, BQR, BGR, CII, BDJ, BGY, BCF, BCX and BUI, unanimously approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement among the Manager, the Sub-Advisor, and its Fund, each for a one-year term ending June 30, 2014. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, the Boards, including the Independent Board Members, were satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders. In arriving at their decision to approve the Agreements, the Boards did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making these determinations. The contractual fee arrangements for the Funds reflect the results of several

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (concluded)

years of review by the Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and BlackRock. As a result, the Board

Members’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.

Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plans

Pursuant to each Trust’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Reinvestment Plan”), Common Shareholders are automatically enrolled, to have all distributions of dividends and capital gains reinvested by Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Reinvestment Plan Agent”) in the respective Trust’s shares pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan. Shareholders who do not participate in the Reinvestment Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check and mailed directly to the shareholders of record (or if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Reinvestment Plan Agent, which serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Reinvestment Plan.

After the Trusts declare a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Reinvestment Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants’ account, depending upon the following circumstances, either (i) through receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Trust (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding shares on the open market, on a Trust’s primary exchange (“open market purchases”). If, on the dividend payment date, the net asset value per share (“NAV”) is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market premium”), the Reinvestment Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares acquired on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV on the date the shares are issued. However, if the NAV is less than 95% of the market price on the dividend payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the dividend payment date. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV is greater than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market discount”), the Reinvestment Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases. If the Reinvestment Plan Agent is unable to invest the full dividend amount in open market purchases, or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Reinvestment Plan Agent will invest any un-invested portion in newly issued shares. Investments in

newly issued shares made in this manner would be made pursuant to the same process described above and the date of issue for such newly issued shares will substitute for the dividend payment date.

Participation in the Reinvestment Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Reinvestment Plan Agent prior to the dividend record date. Additionally, the Reinvestment Plan Agent seeks to process notices received after the record date but prior to the payable date and such notices often will become effective by the payable date. Where late notices are not processed by the applicable payable date, such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution.

The Reinvestment Plan Agent’s fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be paid by each Trust. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Reinvestment Plan Agent’s open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any federal income tax that may be payable on such dividends or distributions.

Each Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the Reinvestment Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Reinvestment Plan; however, each Trust reserves the right to amend the Reinvestment Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Participants that request a sale of shares are subject to a $0.02 per share sold brokerage commission. All correspondence concerning the Reinvestment Plan should be directed to the Reinvestment Plan Agent: Computershare Trust Company, N.A. through the internet at www.computershare.com/blackrock.com, or in writing to Computershare, P.O. Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078, Telephone: (800) 699-1236. Overnight correspondence should be directed to the Reinvestment Plan Agent at 250 Royall Street, Canton MA 02021.

Additional Information (continued)

General Information

The Trusts do not make available copies of their Statements of Additional Information because the Trusts’ shares are not continuously offered, which means that the Statement of Additional Information of each Trust has not been updated after completion of the respective Trust’s offerings and the information contained in each Trust’s Statement of Additional Information may have become outdated.

On June 4, 2013, the Board of BQY approved changes to certain non-fundamental investment policies of the Trust.

The Board of BQY approved changes to the Trust’s investment policy of investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities that are included in the Standard & Poor’s Earnings and Dividend Quality Ranking System (“S&P U.S. Quality Rankings”) or the Standard and Poor’s International Quality Rankings System (“S&P International Quality Rankings”) (together, “S&P Quality Rankings”) that are rated at least B+ by Standard & Poor’s ® , a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. at time of investment. This investment policy has been revised to allow BQY to invest, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its total assets in dividend paying equity securities. Under BQY’s new investment policy, the Trust is particularly dependent on the analytical abilities of BlackRock.

In addition, the Board of BQY also approved the removal of the Trust’s investment policy of investing, under normal market conditions, at least 40% of its assets in equity securities of non-U.S. issuers. This investment policy has been removed to permit BQY to invest more broadly across both U.S. and non-U.S. issuers.

The Board of BQY has approved the foregoing changes to the investment policies as a consequence of the fundamental analysis-based investment process utilized by BQY’s portfolio managers, under which the application of either (i) the S&P Quality Rankings as an investable universe or (ii) a policy requiring a significant portion of total assets to be invested in non-U.S. equity securities is unduly restrictive in the current market environment. While the proposed changes will no longer reflect the use of a third party “quality-based” rankings system, the BQY’s portfolio management team emphasizes an evaluation of both franchise and management quality as inputs to their fundamental analysis-based investment process. The approved changes will not alter BQY’s investment objective.

BQY was required to provide shareholders 60 days’ notice of the change to the investment policies described above. Accordingly, a notice describing the changes discussed above were mailed to shareholders of record as of June 7, 2013. No action was required by shareholders of BQY in connection with this change. Upon the completion of the 60-day notice period, the changes to BQY’s investment policies became effective and BQY’s name was changed on August 13, 2013 to reflect such changes in the investment policies. BQY continues to trade on the NYSE MKT under its current ticker symbol.

During the period, other than the changes noted above, there were no material changes in the Trusts’ investment objectives or policies or to the Trusts’ charters or by-laws that would delay or prevent a change of control of the Trusts that were not approved by the shareholders or in the principal risk factors associated with investment in the Trusts. There have been no changes in the persons who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Trusts’ portfolios.

Quarterly performance, semi-annual and annual reports and other information regarding the Trusts may be found on BlackRock’s website, which can be accessed at http://www.blackrock.com. This reference to BlackRock’s website is intended to allow investors public access to information regarding the Trusts and does not, and is not intended to, incorporate BlackRock’s website in this report.

Electronic Delivery

Electronic copies of most financial reports are available on the Trusts’ websites or shareholders can sign up for e-mail notifications of quarterly statements, annual and semi-annual reports by enrolling in the Trusts’ electronic delivery program.

Shareholders Who Hold Accounts with Investment Advisors, Banks or Brokerages:

Please contact your financial advisor. Please note that not all investment advisors, banks or brokerages may offer this service.

Householding

The Trusts will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including annual and semi-annual reports and proxy statements, to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly called “householding” and is intended to reduce expenses and eliminate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please call the Trusts at (800) 882-0052.

Availability of Quarterly Schedule of Investments

The Trusts file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Trusts’ Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at http:// www.sec.gov. and may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on how to access documents on the SEC’s website without charge may be obtained by calling (800) SEC-0330.

Dividend Policy

Each Trust’s dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of its net investment income to its shareholders on a quarterly basis. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, the dividends paid by the Trusts for any particular quarter may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Trusts during such quarter. The portion of dividend distributions that exceeds a Trust’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which are measured on a tax basis, will constitute a nontaxable return of capital.

Dividend distributions in excess of a Trust’s taxable income and net capital gains, but not in excess of a Trust’s earnings and profits, will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income and will not constitute a non-taxable return of capital. The Trusts’ current accumulated but undistributed net investment income, if any, is disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, which comprises part of the financial information included in this report.

principles, financial statements and internal control over financial reporting as well as audit committee functions. Ms. Robards has been President of Robards & Company, a financial advisory firm, since 1987. Ms. Robards was

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:

The Committee has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the Investment Adviser and Fund Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are (a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and (b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.

Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g.,

3

Table of Contents

unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.

(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not Applicable

(g) The aggregate non-audit fees paid to the accountant for services rendered by the accountant to the registrant, the Investment Adviser and the Fund Service Providers were:

| Entity Name | Current Fiscal Year End | Previous Fiscal
Year End |
| --- | --- | --- |
| BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust | $6,600 | $6,600 |

Additionally, SSAE 16 Review (Formerly, SAS No. 70) fees for the current and previous fiscal years of $2,865,000 and $2,970,000, respectively, were billed by D&T to the Investment Adviser.

(h) The Committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Investment Adviser, and the Fund Service Providers that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 5 – Audit Committee of Listed Registrants

(a) The following individuals are members of the registrant’s separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)):

(b) Not Applicable due to no such divestments during the semi-annual period covered since the previous Form N-CSR filing.
Item 7 – Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies – The board of directors has delegated the voting of proxies for the Fund’s
portfolio securities to the Investment Adviser pursuant to the Investment Adviser’s proxy voting guidelines. Under these guidelines, the Investment Adviser will vote proxies related to Fund securities in the best interests of the Fund and its
stockholders. From time to time, a vote may present a conflict between the interests of the Fund’s stockholders, on the one hand, and those of the Investment Adviser, or any affiliated person of the Fund or the Investment Adviser, on the other.
In such event, provided that the Investment Adviser’s Equity Investment Policy Oversight Committee, or a sub-committee thereof (the “Oversight Committee”) is aware of the real or potential conflict or material non-routine matter and
if the Oversight Committee does not reasonably believe it is able to follow its general voting guidelines (or if the particular proxy matter is not addressed in the guidelines) and vote impartially, the Oversight Committee may retain an independent
fiduciary to advise the Oversight Committee on how to vote or to cast votes on behalf of the Investment Adviser’s clients. If the Investment Adviser determines not to retain an independent fiduciary, or does not desire to follow the advice of
such independent fiduciary, the Oversight Committee shall determine how to vote the proxy after consulting with the Investment Adviser’s Portfolio Management Group and/or the Investment Adviser’s Legal and Compliance Department and
concluding that the vote cast is in its client’s best interest notwithstanding the conflict. A copy of the Fund’s Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures are attached as Exhibit 99.PROXYPOL. Information on how the Fund voted proxies relating to
portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge, (i) at www.blackrock.com and (ii) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov .

(iv) Potential Material Conflicts of Interest

BlackRock has built a professional working environment, firm-wide compliance culture and compliance procedures and systems designed to protect against potential incentives that may favor one account over another. BlackRock has adopted policies and procedures that address the allocation of investment opportunities, execution of portfolio transactions, personal trading by employees and other potential conflicts of interest that are designed to ensure that all client accounts are treated equitably over time. Nevertheless, BlackRock furnishes investment management and advisory services to numerous clients in addition to the Fund, and BlackRock may, consistent with applicable law, make investment recommendations to other clients or accounts (including accounts which are hedge funds or have performance or higher fees paid to BlackRock, or in which portfolio managers have a personal interest in the receipt of such fees), which may be the same as or different from those made to the Fund. In addition, BlackRock, Inc., its affiliates and significant shareholders and any officer, director, shareholder or employee may or may not have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale BlackRock recommends to the Fund. BlackRock, Inc., or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders, or any officer, director, shareholder, employee or any member of their families may take different actions than those recommended to the Fund by BlackRock with

6

Table of Contents

respect to the same securities. Moreover, BlackRock may refrain from rendering any advice or services concerning securities of companies of which any of BlackRock, Inc.’s (or its affiliates’ or significant shareholders’) officers, directors or employees are directors or officers, or companies as to which BlackRock, Inc. or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders or the officers, directors and employees of any of them has any substantial economic interest or possesses material non-public information. Certain portfolio managers also may manage accounts whose investment strategies may at times be opposed to the strategy utilized for a fund. It should also be noted that Messrs. Callan, Hart and Jamieson and Ms. Xie may be managing certain hedge fund and/or long only accounts, or may be part of a team managing certain hedge fund and/or long only accounts, subject to incentive fees. Messrs. Callan, Hart and Jamieson and Ms. Xie may therefore be entitled to receive a portion of any incentive fees earned on such accounts.

As a fiduciary, BlackRock owes a duty of loyalty to its clients and must treat each client fairly. When BlackRock purchases or sells securities for more than one account, the trades must be allocated in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties. BlackRock attempts to allocate investments in a fair and equitable manner among client accounts, with no account receiving preferential treatment. To this end, BlackRock, Inc. has adopted policies that are intended to ensure reasonable efficiency in client transactions and provide BlackRock with sufficient flexibility to allocate investments in a manner that is consistent with the particular investment discipline and client base, as appropriate.

(a)(3) As of October 31, 2013:

Portfolio Manager Compensation Overview

BlackRock’s financial arrangements with its portfolio managers, its competitive compensation and its career path emphasis at all levels reflect the value senior management places on key resources. Compensation may include a variety of components and may vary from year to year based on a number of factors. The principal components of compensation include a base salary, a performance-based discretionary bonus, participation in various benefits programs and one or more of the incentive compensation programs established by BlackRock.

Base Compensation.

Generally, portfolio managers receive base compensation based on their position with BlackRock, Inc.

Discretionary Incentive Compensation.

Generally, discretionary incentive compensation for Active Equity portfolio managers is based on a formulaic compensation program. BlackRock’s formulaic portfolio manager compensation program is based on team revenue and pre-tax investment performance relative to appropriate competitors or benchmarks over 1-, 3- and 5-year performance periods, as applicable. In most cases, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Funds or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers determine the benchmarks or rankings against which the performance of funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio management team is compared

7

Table of Contents

and the period of time over which performance is evaluated. With respect to these portfolio managers, such benchmarks for the Fund and other accounts are:

Portfolio Manager Benchmark
Thomas Callan Nigel Hart Ian Jamieson Erin Xie Lipper Mid-Cap Core Fund classification; Lipper International
Multi-Cap Core fund classification; Lipper Global/Health/Biotechnology Fund classification
Kyle McClements Christopher Accettella No Benchmarks

A smaller element of portfolio manager discretionary compensation may include consideration of: financial results, expense control, profit margins, strategic planning and implementation, quality of client service, market share, corporate reputation, capital allocation, compliance and risk control, leadership, technology and innovation. These factors are considered collectively by BlackRock management and the relevant Chief Investment Officers.

Distribution of Discretionary Incentive Compensation

Discretionary incentive compensation is distributed to portfolio managers in a combination of cash and BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units which vest ratably over a number of years. For some portfolio managers, discretionary incentive compensation is also distributed in deferred cash awards that notionally track the returns of select BlackRock investment products they manage and that vest ratably over a number of years. The BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units, upon vesting, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Typically, the cash portion of the discretionary incentive compensation, when combined with base salary, represents more than 60% of total compensation for the portfolio managers. Paying a portion of discretionary incentive compensation in BlackRock stock puts compensation earned by a portfolio manager for a given year “at risk” based on BlackRock’s ability to sustain and improve its performance over future periods. Providing a portion of discretionary incentive compensation in deferred cash awards that notionally track the BlackRock investment products they manage provides direct alignment with investment product results.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards — From time to time long-term incentive equity awards are granted to certain key employees to aid in retention, align their interests with long-term shareholder interests and motivate performance. Equity awards are generally granted in the form of BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units that, once vested, settle in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Mr. Hart has unvested long-term incentive awards.

Deferred Compensation Program — A portion of the compensation paid to eligible United States-based BlackRock employees may be voluntarily deferred at their election for defined periods of time into an account that tracks the performance of certain of the firm’s investment products.

Incentive Savings Plans — BlackRock, Inc. has created a variety of incentive savings plans in which BlackRock, Inc. employees are eligible to participate, including a 401(k) plan, the BlackRock Retirement Savings Plan (RSP), and the BlackRock Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The employer contribution components of the RSP include a company match equal to 50% of the first 8% of eligible pay contributed to the plan capped at $5,000 per year, and a company retirement contribution equal to 3-5% of eligible compensation up to the Internal Revenue Service limit ($255,000 for 2013). The RSP offers a range of investment options, including registered investment companies and collective investment funds managed by the firm. BlackRock, Inc. contributions follow the investment direction set by participants for their own contributions or, absent participant investment direction, are invested into a target date fund that corresponds to, or is closest to, the year in which the participant attains age 65. The ESPP allows for investment in BlackRock, Inc. common stock at a 5% discount on the fair market value of the stock on the purchase date. Annual participation in the ESPP is limited to the purchase of 1,000 shares of common stock or a dollar value of $25,000 based on its fair market value on the purchase date. All of the eligible portfolio managers are eligible to participate in these plans.
