Section 19(b) Disclosure BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust IV (BTZ) and BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. (CII) (collectively, the “Funds”), acting pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) exemptive order and with the approval of each Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees (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 (“Plan”). In accordance with the Plans, the Funds currently distribute the following fixed amounts per share on a monthly basis for BTZ and a quarterly basis for CII:

Exchange Symbol Amount Per Common Share
BTZ $ 0.100
CII $ 0.485

The fixed amounts distributed per share are subject to change at the discretion of each Fund’s Board. Under its Plan, each Fund 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 monthly/quarterly basis, the Funds will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital to shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution. Each monthly/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 Funds to comply with the distribution requirements imposed by the Code. Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Funds’ investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of the Plan. Each Fund’s total return performance on net asset value is presented in its financial highlights table. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate a Fund’s Plan without prior notice if it deems such actions to be in the best interests of the Fund or its share- holders. The suspension or termination of the Plan could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if the Fund’s stock is trading at or above net asset value) or widening an existing trading discount. The Funds are subject to risks that could have an adverse impact on their ability to maintain level distri- butions. Examples of potential risks include, but are not limited to, economic downturns impacting the markets, decreased market volatility, companies sus- pending or decreasing corporate dividend distributions and changes in the Code. Please refer to each Fund’s prospectus for a more complete description of its risks. Please refer to Additional Information for a cumulative summary of the Section 19(a) notices for each Fund’s current fiscal period. Section 19(a) notices for the Funds, as applicable, are available on the BlackRock website www.blackrock.com . 2 ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009

Dear Shareholder Over the past 12 months, we have witnessed a seismic shift in market sentiment — from fear and pessimism during the worst economic decline and crisis of confidence in financial markets since The Great Depression to increasing optimism amid emerging signs of recovery. The period began in the midst of an intense deterioration in global economic activity and financial markets in the final months of 2008 and the early months of 2009. The collapse of confi- dence resulted in massive government policy intervention on a global scale in the financial system and the economy. The tide turned dramatically in March 2009, however, on the back of new US government initiatives, as well as better-than-expected economic data and upside surprises in corporate earnings. Not surprisingly, global equity markets endured extreme volatility over the past 12 months, starting with steep declines and heightened risk aversion in the early part of the reporting period, which eventually gave way to an impressive rally that began in March. Although there have been fits and starts along the way and a few modest corrections, the new bull market has pushed all major US indices well into positive territory for 2009. The experience in international markets was similar to that in the United States. In particular, emerging markets (which were less affected by the global credit crunch and are experiencing faster economic growth rates when compared to the developed world) have posted impressive gains since the rally began. In fixed income markets, the flight-to-safety premium in Treasury securities prevailed during the equity market downturn, which drove yields sharply lower, but concerns about deficit spending, debt issuance, inflation and dollar weakness have kept Treasury yields range bound in recent months. As economic and market conditions began to improve in early 2009, near-zero interest rates on risk-free assets prompted many investors to reallocate money from cash investments into higher-yielding and riskier non-Treasury assets. The high yield sector was the greatest beneficiary of this move, having decisively outpaced all other taxable asset classes since the start of 2009. Similarly, the municipal bond market is on pace for its best performance year ever in 2009, following one of its worst years in 2008. Investor demand remains strong for munis, helping to create a highly favorable technical backdrop. Municipal bond mutual funds are seeing record inflows, reflecting the renewed investor interest in the asset class. As a result of the rebound in sentiment and global market conditions, most major benchmark indexes are now in positive territory for both the 6- and 12-month periods.

Fund Summary as of October 31, 2009 BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust I, Inc. Investment Objective BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust I, Inc. (PSW) (formerly BlackRock Preferred and Corporate Income Strategies Fund, Inc.) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide shareholders with high current income and capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing primarily in credit-related securi- ties, including, but not limited to, investment grade corporate bonds, high yield bonds, bank loans, preferred securities or convertible bonds or derivatives with economic characteristics similar to these credit-related securities. Effective November 13, 2009, BlackRock Preferred and Corporate Income Strategies Fund, Inc. was renamed BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust I, Inc. The Board approved a change to the Fund’s non-fundamental investment policies during the period. Please refer to page 70 in the Additional Information section. No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved. Performance For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the Fund returned 37.59% based on market price and 46.46% based on net asset value (“NAV”). For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Income & Preferred Stock Funds category posted an average return of 39.55% on a market price basis and 40.36% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Strong annual performance has been driven by the Fund’s positioning to fully capture the near-term strength anticipated in the preferred sector during 2009. The Fund benefited from an overweight allocation to institutional hybrids (preferred secu- rities available only over-the-counter to institutional investors) as the sector continued its dramatic outperformance during 2009 relative to retail preferred securities, which are exchange traded. This position also served as a performance detractor when the preferred sector deteriorated during the fourth quarter of 2008. Performance benefited from participation in several additional issuer-related tenders in preferred equity exchanges, along with an overweight in the insurance sector. A generally large position in short-term securities proved beneficial as well — most notably during 2008 and into the first quarter of 2009 — as it preserved NAV better than had the Fund been fully invested. Finally, the Fund notably reduced leverage in response to rating agency methodology changes for preferred securities requiring greater collateral due to increased volatility in the sector, which detracted from performance. 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.

Fund Summary as of October 31, 2009
Investment Objective
BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. (CII) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with a combination of current income and capital
appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks in an attempt to
generate current income and by employing a strategy of writing (selling) call options on equity indexes in an attempt to generate gains from option
premiums primarily on the S&P 500 Index.
The Board approved a change to the Fund’s option writing policy during the period. Please refer to page 70 in the Additional Information section.
No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.
Performance
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the Fund returned 29.88% based on market price and 22.01% based on NAV. For the same period, the
benchmark S&P 500 Citigroup Value Index returned 2.98% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund's discount to NAV, which
narrowed significantly during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The main con-
tributor to Fund performance relative to the S&P 500 Citigroup Value Index was the Option strategy that was implemented by the Fund. The option strategy
contributed almost 75% of the outperformance over the index. From an equity holdings standpoint, the main contributors were an underweight and stock
selection in financials, stock selection in health care and industrials, and overweights in the information technology and energy sectors. The main detractors
from performance for the one-year period included stock selection in materials and consumer staples, as well as an underweight in the consumer
discretionary sector.
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

Fund Summary as of October 31, 2009 BlackRock Floating Rate Income Trust Investment Objective BlackRock Floating Rate Income Trust (BGT) (formerly BlackRock Global Floating Rate Income Trust) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a high level of current income and to seek the preservation of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a global portfolio of primarily floating and variable rate securities. No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved. Performance For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the Fund returned 54.14% based on market price and 39.51% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Loan Participation Funds category posted an average return of 39.76% on a market price basis and 25.60% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. (The performance of the Lipper category does not necessarily correlate to that of the Fund, as the Lipper group comprises both closed-end funds that employ leverage and continuously offered closed-end funds that do not. For this reporting period, those Lipper peers that do not employ leverage were at a disadvantage given the market rally.) The Fund's discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. For the first two months of the reporting period, the high yield loan market was under extreme pressure and lost 10.9%, as measured by the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index. However, this brief period of underperformance was followed by the market’s strongest results ever, as the sector gained more than 40% for the period January 1, 2009 to October 31, 2009. On average, market performance was positive and the Fund’s reduction of leverage in response to higher collateral requirements imposed by the major rating agencies had a negative effect on absolute performance. Relative to its Lipper peers, the Fund gained from both maintaining leverage and focusing on higher-quality sectors and structures, which benefited most during the sharp rally in 2009. Conversely, the Fund’s cash position hurt performance during the period. 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.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and NAV of their Common Shares. However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments. The Funds may utilize leverage through borrowings, the issuance of Preferred Shares or by entering into reverse repurchase agreements. In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the cost of assets to be obtained from leverage will be based on short-term interest rates, which normally will be lower than the income earned by each Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments. To the extent that the total assets of each Fund (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, each Fund’s Common Shareholders will benefit from the incremental net income. The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from lever- age is paid to Common Shareholders in the form of dividends, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected in the per share NAV of each Fund’s Common Shares. However, in order to benefit Common Shareholders, the yield curve must be positively sloped; that is, short-term interest rates must be lower than long-term interest rates. If the yield curve becomes negatively sloped, meaning short-term interest rates exceed long-term interest rates, income to Common Shareholders will be lower than if the Funds had not used leverage. To illustrate these concepts, assume a Fund’s Common Shares capitalization is $100 million and it borrows and/or issues Preferred Shares for an addi- tional $50 million, creating a total value of $150 million available for invest- ment in long-term securities. If prevailing short-term interest rates are 3% and long-term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive slope. In this case, the Fund pays interest expense and/or dividends on the $50 million of Preferred Shares based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the securities purchased by the Fund with assets received from the borrowings and/or issuance of Preferred Shares can earn income based on long-term interest rates. In this case, the interest expense and/or dividends paid to Preferred Shareholders are significantly lower than the income earned on the Fund’s long-term investments, and there- fore the Common Shareholders are the beneficiaries of the incremental net income. If short-term interest rates rise, narrowing the differential between short- term and long-term interest rates, the incremental net income pickup on the Common Shares will be reduced or eliminated completely. Furthermore, if prevailing short-term interest rates rise above long-term interest rates of 6%, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case, the Fund pays divi- dends on the higher short-term interest rates whereas the Fund’s total port- folio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates.

Furthermore, the value of a Fund’s portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can influence the value of portfolio investments. In contrast, the redemption value of the Funds’ borrowings and/or Preferred Shares does not fluctuate in relation to interest rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influ- ence the Funds’ NAV positively or negatively in addition to the impact on Fund performance from leverage from borrowings. The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased income to the Funds and Common Shareholders, but as described above, it also creates risks as short- or long-term interest rates fluctuate. Leverage also will gener- ally cause greater changes to each Fund’s NAV, market price and dividend rates than a comparable portfolio without leverage. If the income derived from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, each Fund’s net income will be greater than if leverage had not been used. Conversely, if the income from the securities purchased is not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, each Fund’s net income will be less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount available for distribution to shareholders will be reduced. Each Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of lever- age or as required by the terms of leverage instruments which may cause a Fund to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit each Fund’s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strate- gies, such as in the case of certain restrictions imposed by ratings agencies that rate Preferred Shares issued by each Fund. Each Fund will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by the Common Shareholders and may reduce income on the Common Shares. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, BGT is permitted to borrow through a credit facility up to 33 1 / 3 % of its total managed assets and the Funds are permitted to issue Preferred Shares in an amount of up to 50% of their total managed assets at the time of issuance. Under normal cir- cumstances, each Fund anticipates that the total economic leverage from Preferred Shares, reverse repurchase agreements and credit facility borrow- ings will not exceed 50% of its total managed assets at the time such lever- age is incurred. As of October 31, 2009, the Funds had economic leverage from Preferred Shares, reverse repurchase agreements and/or credit facility borrowings as a percentage of their total managed assets as follows:

Percent of
Leverage
PSW 32%
PSY 30%
BPP 29%
BTZ 31%
BGT 19%

Derivative Financial Instruments The Funds may invest in various derivative instruments, including financial futures contracts, swaps, foreign currency exchange contracts and options, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which consti- tute forms of economic leverage. Such instruments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical custody of securi- ties or to hedge market, equity, credit, interest rate and/or foreign currency exchange rate risks. Such derivative instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction and illiquidity of the derivative instrument. Each Fund’s ability to success-

fully use a derivative instrument depends on the investment advisor’s ability to accurately predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require the Funds to sell or purchase port- folio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation the Funds can realize on an investment or may cause the Funds to hold a security that they might otherwise sell. The Funds’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies: BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust I, Inc. (formerly BlackRock Preferred and Corporate Income Strategies Fund, Inc.) (“PSW”), BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust II, Inc. (formerly BlackRock Preferred Income Strategies Fund, Inc.) (“PSY”) and BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. (“CII”) are registered as diversified, closed-end manage- ment investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust III (formerly BlackRock Preferred Opportunity Trust) (“BPP”), BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust IV (formerly BlackRock Preferred and Equity Advantage Trust) (“BTZ”) and BlackRock Floating Rate Income Trust (for- merly BlackRock Global Floating Rate Income Trust) (“BGT”) are registered as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the 1940 Act. PSW, PSY and CII are organized as Maryland corporations. BPP, BTZ and BGT are organized as Delaware statutory trusts. PSW, PSY, BPP, BTZ, CII and BGT are collectively referred to as the “Funds” or individu- ally as the “Fund.” The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in con- formity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require the use of management accruals and esti- mates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Board of Directors and Board of Trustees of the Funds, as applicable, are referred to throughout this report as the “Board of Directors” or the “Board.” The Funds determine and make available for publication the net asset value of their Common Shares on a daily basis. CII Reorganization: The Board and the shareholders of each of BlackRock Enhanced Equity Yield Fund, Inc. (“EEF”), BlackRock Enhanced Equity Yield and Premium Fund, Inc. (“ECV”) (the “Target Funds”) and CII approved the reorganization of each Target Fund into CII (the “Reorganizations”). The Reor- ganizations were tax-free events and were effective as of the opening for business of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on November 3, 2008.

Target Funds — EEF Acquiring Fund — CII

Under the agreement and plan of reorganization between each Target
Fund and CII, the shares of each Target Fund (“Target Fund Shares”) were
exchanged for CII shares. The conversion ratios for Target Fund Shares
were as follows:
EEF/CII 0.80653563
ECV/CII 0.81144752
The net assets of CII before and after the Reorganizations and CII shares
issued and Target Fund Shares redeemed in connection with the Reorgani-
zations were as follows:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds:

Valuation: The Funds value their bond investments on the basis of last avail- able bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services selected under the supervision of each Fund’s Board. Floating rate loan interests are valued at the mean of the bid prices from one or more brokers or dealers as obtained from a pricing service. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain informa- tion with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from deal- ers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measures based on valuation technology commonly employed in the market for such investments. Swap agreements are valued utilizing quotes received daily by the Funds’ pricing service or through brokers, which are derived using daily swap curves and trades of underlying securities. Invest- ments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with maturities less than 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Funds value their investments in the Cash Sweep Series of BlackRock Liquidity Series, LLC at fair value, which is ordinarily based upon their pro rata own- ership in the net assets of the underlying fund. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign curren- cies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mid 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 quo- tations are not available. Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System 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 (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 such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the security. 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 such 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 or through brokers using a mathematical model which incorporates a

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 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 which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment or is not available, the investment will be valued by a method approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the invest- ment advisor and/or sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that each Fund 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 investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof. Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. The values of such instruments used in computing the net assets of each Fund are determined as of such times. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such instruments may occur between the times at which they are deter- mined and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of each Fund’s net assets. If events (for example, a com- pany announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such instru- ments, those instruments may be Fair Value Assets and be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board or by the investment advisor using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the Board. Foreign Currency Transactions: Foreign currency amounts are translated into United States dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of invest- ment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange; and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds report foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such compo- nents are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Capital Trusts and Trust Preferreds: These securities are typically issued by corporations, generally in the form of interest-bearing notes with preferred securities characteristics, or by an affiliated business trust of a corporation, generally in the form of beneficial interests in subordinated debentures or similarly structured securities. The securities can be structured as either fixed or adjustable coupon securities that can have either a perpetual or stated maturity date. Dividends can be deferred without creating an event of default or acceleration, although maturity cannot take place unless all cumulative payment obligations have been met. The deferral of payments does not affect the purchase or sale of these securities in the open market. Payments on these securities are treated as interest rather than dividends for Federal income tax purposes. These securities can have a rating that is slightly below that of the issuing company’s senior debt securities. Preferred Stock: Certain Funds may invest in preferred stocks. Preferred stock has a preference over common stock in liquidation (and generally

in receiving dividends as well) but is subordinated to the liabilities of the issuer in all respects. As a general rule, the market value of preferred stock with a fixed dividend rate and no conversion element varies inversely with interest rates and perceived credit risk, while the market price of convert- ible preferred stock generally also reflects some element of conversion value. Because preferred stock is junior to debt securities and other obli- gations of the issuer, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer will cause greater changes in the value of a preferred stock than in a more senior debt security with similar stated yield characteristics. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions. Floating Rate Loan Interests: Certain Funds may invest in floating rate loans, which are generally non-investment grade, made by banks, other financial institutions, and privately and publicly offered corporations. Floating rate loans are senior in the debt structure of a corporation. Floating rate loans generally pay interest at rates that are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks, such as LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate), (ii) the prime rate offered by one or more US banks or (iii) the certificate of deposit rate. The Funds consider these investments to be investments in debt securities for purposes of their investment policies. The Funds earn and/or pay facility and other fees on floating rate loans. Other fees earned/paid include commitment, amendment, consent and prepayment penalty fees. Facility, commitment and amendment fees are typically amortized over the term of the loan. Consent fees and various other fees are recorded as income. Prepayment penalty fees are recorded as realized gains. When a Fund buys a floating rate loan it may receive a facility fee and when it sells a floating rate loan it may pay a facility fee. On an ongoing basis, the Funds may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a floating rate loan. In certain circumstances, the Funds may receive a prepayment penalty fee upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan by a borrower. Other fees received by the Funds may include covenant waiver fees and covenant modification fees. The Funds may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan. A different series or tranche may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. Floating rate loans are usually freely callable at the issuer’s option. The Funds may invest in such loans in the form of participations in loans (“Participations”) and assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. Participations typically will result in the Funds having a contractual relationship only with the lender, not with the borrower. The Funds will have the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the Participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the borrower. In connection with purchasing Participations, the Funds generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) agreement relating to the loans, nor any rights of offset against the borrower, and the Funds may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the Participation. As a result, the Funds will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the Participation. The Funds’ investments in loan participation interests involve the risk of insolvency of the financial interme- diaries who are parties to the transactions. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling the Participation, the Funds may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any offset between the lender and the borrower. Reverse Repurchase Agreements: Certain Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with qualified third party broker-dealers. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Funds sell securities to a bank or bro- ker-dealer and agree to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. Interest on the value of the reverse repurchase agree- ments issued and outstanding is based upon competitive market rates determined at the time of issuance. The Funds may utilize reverse repur- chase agreements when it is anticipated that the interest income to be earned from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction. Reverse repurchase agree- ments involve leverage risk and also the risk that the market value of the securities that the Funds are obligated to repurchase under the agree- ment may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Funds’ use of the proceeds from the agreement may be restricted while the other party, or its trustee or receiver, determines whether or not to enforce the Funds’ obligation to repurchase the securities. Defensive Positions: Each of PSW, PSY, BPP and BTZ may vary its invest- ment policies for temporary defensive purposes during periods in which the investment advisor believes that conditions in the securities markets or other economic, financial or political conditions warrant. Under such condi- tions, the Funds for temporary defensive purposes may invest up to 100% of its total assets in, as applicable and described in each Fund’s prospec- tus, U.S. government securities, certificates of deposit, repurchase agree- ments that involve purchases of debt securities, bankers’ acceptances and other bank obligations, commercial paper, money market funds and/or other debt securities deemed by the investment advisor to be consistent with a defensive posture, or may hold its assets in cash. Zero-Coupon Bonds: Certain Funds may invest in zero-coupon bonds, which are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obligations which provide for regular interest payments. Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that a Fund either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., written options, foreign currency exchange contracts, financial futures contracts and swaps), or certain bor- rowings (e.g., reverse repurchase agreements and loan payable) each Fund

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 other 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, each party has requirements to deliver/deposit secu- rities as collateral for certain investments. Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the trans- actions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Divi- dend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Funds have determined the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. The Funds amortize all premiums and discounts on debt securities. 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. Consent fees are compensation for agreeing to changes in the terms of debt instruments and are included in interest income in the Statements of Operations. Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly (quarterly for CII). Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. If the total dividends and distribu- tions made in any tax year exceeds net investment income and accumu- lated realized capital gains, a portion of the total distribution may be treated as a tax return of capital. Income Taxes: It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates. Each Fund files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on PSW’s and PSY’s US federal tax returns remains open for the four years ended October 31, 2009. The statute of limitations on BPP’s, CII’s and BGT’s US federal tax returns remains open for the two years ended December 31, 2007, the period ended October 31, 2008 and year ended October 31, 2009. The statute of limitations on BTZ’s US Federal tax returns remains open for the two years ended October 31, 2009 and the period ended October 31, 2007. The statutes of limitations on the Funds’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Recent Accounting Standards: In June 2009, amended guidance was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board for transfers of finan- cial assets. This guidance is intended to improve the relevance, representa- tional faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting

ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009 49

$$/page=

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial perform- ance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of this guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, the enhanced disclosure provisions of the amended guidance should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this guidance. The impact of this guidance on the Funds’ financial statements and disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed. Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each Fund’s Board, non-interested Directors or Trustees (“Independent Directors or 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 other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Directors or Trustees. This has approximately the same economic effect for the Independent Directors or Trustees as if the Independent Directors or Trustees had invested the deferred amounts directly in other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds. The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations there- under represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of each Fund. Each Fund may, however, elect to invest in common shares of other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Directors or Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obliga- tions. Investments to cover each Fund’s deferred compensation liability, if any, are included in other assets in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends and distributions from the BlackRock Closed-End Fund investments under the plan are included in income-affiliated in the Statements of Operations. Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Pursuant to the terms of the custody agreement, custodian fees may be reduced by amounts calculated on uninvested cash balances, which are shown in the Statements of Operations as fees paid indirectly. 2. Derivative Financial Instruments: The Funds may engage in various portfolio investment strategies both to increase the returns of the Funds and to economically hedge, or protect, their exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The Funds may mitigate counterparty risk through master net- ting agreements included within an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreement between a Fund and each of its counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement allows each Fund to offset with its counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ pay- ables and/or receivables with collateral held with each counterparty. The

amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is based upon minimum transfer amounts of up to $500,000. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from their counterparties are not fully collateralized con- tractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. See Note 1 “Segregation and Collateralization” for addi- tional information with respect to collateral practices. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over- the-counter derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized gain in excess of any collateral pledged by the counterparty to the Funds. For over-the- counter purchased options, the Funds bear the risk of loss in the amount of the premiums paid and change in market value of the options should the counterparty not perform under the contracts. Options written by the Funds do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as written options obli- gate the Funds to perform and not the counterparty. Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to over-the-counter derivatives to termi- nate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or a Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate pay- ment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts and options is minimal because of the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which they trade. Financial Futures Contracts: Certain Funds may purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain expo- sure to, or economically hedge against, changes in the value of interest rates (interest rate risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). Financial futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Pursuant to the contract, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recognized by the Funds as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Certain Funds may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio positions (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 Fund, help to manage the overall exposure to the currency backing some of the investments held by a Fund. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the con- tract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the differ- ence 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 counterparties may not meet the terms of the agreement or unfavorable movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the US dollar.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) Options: Certain Funds may purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease their exposure to underlying instruments. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller to sell (when the option is exercised), the underly- ing instrument at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time dur- ing 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 price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. When a Fund purchases (writes) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by a Fund 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 instru- ment acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the instru- ment sold. When an option expires (or a Fund enters into a closing transaction), a Fund realizes 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 premium received or paid). When a Fund writes a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that a Fund holds the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counter- party, or cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation. When a Fund writes a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation. In purchasing and writing options, a Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid mar- ket. Exercise of a written option could result in a Fund purchasing or selling a security at a price different from the current market value. The Funds may execute transactions in both listed and OTC options. Swaps: Certain Funds may enter into swap agreements, in which a Fund and a counterparty agree to make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount. These periodic payments received or made by the Funds are recorded in the Statements of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). When the swap is ter- minated, the Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract, if any. Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agree- ments, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its

obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions. • Credit default swaps — Certain Funds may enter into credit default swaps to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce their risk exposure to defaults of corporate and/or sovereign issuers or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed (credit risk). The Funds enter into credit default agreements to provide a measure of protection against the default of an issuer (as buyer of protection) and/or gain credit exposure to an issuer to which it is not otherwise exposed (as seller of protection). The Funds may either buy or sell (write) credit default swaps on single-name issuers (corporate or sovereign) or traded indexes. Credit default swaps on single-name issuers are agree- ments in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific pay- ment should a negative credit event take place (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation accelerators, repudiation, moratorium or restructur- ing). Credit default swaps on traded indexes are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific payment should a write-down, principal or interest shortfall or default of all or individual underlying securities included in the index occurs. As a buyer, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Funds will either receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced security or underlying securities comprising of an index or receive a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securi- ties comprising of an index. As a seller (writer), if an underlying credit event occurs the Funds will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced secu- rity or underlying securities comprising of an index or pay a net settle- ment of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising of an index. • Interest rate swaps — Certain Funds may enter into interest rate swaps to manage duration, the yield curve or interest rate risk by economically hedging the value of the fixed rate bonds which may decrease when interest rates rise (interest rate risk). Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a floating rate of interest on a notional princi- pal amount and receives a fixed rate of interest on the same notional principal amount for a specified period of time. In more complex swaps, the notional principal amount may decline (or amortize) over time.

  1. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates: The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) and Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BAC became a stockholder of BlackRock following its acquisition of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) on January 1, 2009. Prior to that date, both PNC and Merrill Lynch were considered affiliates of the Funds under the 1940 Act. Subsequent to the acquisition, PNC remains an affiliate, but due to the restructuring of Merrill Lynch’s ownership interest of BlackRock, BAC is not deemed to be an affiliate under the 1940 Act. Each Fund entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Funds’ investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain

other services necessary to the operations of the Funds. For such services, each Fund pays the Manager a monthly fee at the following annual rates of each Fund’s average daily (weekly for BPP, BTZ and BGT) net assets (includ- ing any assets attributable to borrowings or the proceeds from the issuance of Preferred Shares) minus the sum of liabilities (other than borrowings representing financial leverage) as follows:

PSW 0.60%
PSY 0.60%
BPP 0.65%
BTZ 0.65%
CII 0.85%
BGT 0.75%

The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fees or other expenses on BGT as a percentage of its average weekly net assets as follows: 0.20% for the first six years of the Fund’s operations (through August 30, 2010), 0.10% in year seven (through August 30, 2011) and 0.05% in year eight (through August 30, 2012). For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Manager waived $706,594, which is included in fees waived by advisor in the Statements of Operations.

5. Commitments:
BGT invests in floating rate loans. In connection with these investments,
the Fund may, with its Manager, also enter into unfunded corporate loans
(“commitments”). Commitments may obligate the Fund to furnish temporary
financing to a borrower until permanent financing can be arranged. In con-
nection with these commitments, the Fund earns a commitment fee, typi-
cally set as a percentage of the commitment amount. Such fee income,
which is classified in the Statements of Operations as facility and other
fees, is recognized ratably over the commitment period. As of October 31,
2009, the Fund had the following unfunded loan commitments:
Value of
Underlying Underlying
Commitment Loan
(000) (000)
Delphi Acquisition Holding IBV $368 $306
NVT Networks LLC Exit Term Loan $ 50 $ 51
Smurfit-Stone Container Enterprises, Inc.,
U.S. Term Loan Debtor in Possession $910 $900
6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
PSY, BPP and BTZ invest a significant portion of their assets in securities
in the financials sector and BGT invests a significant portion of its assets
in securities in the media sector. Please see the Schedules of Investments
for these securities. Changes in economic conditions affecting the finan-
cials and media sectors would have a greater impact on the respective
Funds and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in
such securities.
In the normal course of business, the Funds 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 (credit
risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securi- ties are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or eco- nomic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open trans- actions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds. 7. Capital Share Transactions: PSW, PSY and CII are authorized to issue 200 million of $0.10 par value shares, all of which initially were classified as Common Shares. The Boards of PSW and PSY are authorized to classify and reclassify any unissued shares. In this regard, the Boards of PSW and PSY have reclassified 5,460 and 22,000 shares, respectively, of unissued shares as Preferred Shares. There are an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares authorized for BPP, BTZ and BGT.

Common Shares
At October 31, 2009, the shares owned by an affiliate of the Manager of
the Funds were as follows:
Shares
PSW 7,656
PSY 7,927
BTZ 4,817
CII 23,362
BGT 8,239
Shares issued and outstanding during the years ended October 31, 2009
and October 31, 2008 for PSW and PSY and the year ended October 31,
2009, the period January 1, 2008 to October 31, 2008 and the year ended
December 31, 2007 for BPP, CII and BGT increased by the following
amounts as a result of dividend reinvestment:
October 31, October 31, December 31,

PSW 20,060 — N/A
PSY 200,878 — N/A
BPP 76,154 5,794 30,981
CII 221,870 — —
BGT — — 42,574
Shares issued and outstanding remained constant for BTZ for the years
ended October 31, 2009 and October 31, 2008.

For the year ended October 31, 2009, shares issued and outstanding for CII increased 30,542,706 as a result of a reorganization as discussed in Note 1 “CII Reorganization”. Preferred Shares The Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of each Fund, in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated or unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The Preferred Shares are also subject to mandatory redemption at their liquidation pref-

erence plus any accumulated or unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and liabili- ties of the Fund, as set forth in the Fund’s Statement of Preferences/Articles Supplementary (“Governing Instrument”), as applicable, are not satisfied. From time to time in the future, the Funds that have issued Preferred Shares may effect repurchases of such shares at prices below their liquida- tion preferences as agreed upon by the Funds and seller. The Funds also may redeem such shares from time to time as provided in the applicable Governing Instrument. The Funds intend to effect such redemptions and/or repurchases to the extent necessary to maintain applicable asset coverage requirements or for such other reasons as the Board may determine. The holders of Preferred Shares have voting rights equal to the holders of Common Shares (one vote per share) and will vote together with holders of Common Shares (one vote per share) as a single class. However, holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, are also entitled to elect two Directors/Trustees for each Fund. In addition, the 1940 Act requires that along with approval by shareholders that might otherwise be required, the approval of the holders of a majority of any outstanding Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class would be required to (a) adopt any plan of reorganization that would adversely affect the Preferred Shares, (b) change a Fund’s subclassification as a closed-end investment com- pany or change its fundamental investment restrictions or (c) change its business so as to cease to be an investment company.

PSW, PSY, BPP, BTZ and BGT had the following series of Preferred Shares

Dividends on seven-day and 28-day Preferred Shares are cumulative at a rate that is reset every seven or 28 days, respectively, based on the results of an auction. If the Preferred Shares fail to clear the auction on an auction date, the affected Fund is required to pay the maximum applicable rate on the Preferred Shares to holders of such shares for successive dividend periods until such time as the shares are successfully auctioned. The maxi- mum applicable rate on Preferred Shares are as follows: for PSW, PSY and BGT, the higher of 125% times or 1.25% plus the Telerate/BBA LIBOR rate; for BPP 150% of the interest equivalent of the 30-day commercial paper rate and for BTZ, the higher of 150% times or 1.25% plus the Telerate/BBA

Since February 13, 2008, the Preferred Shares of the Funds failed to clear any of their auctions. As a result, the Preferred Shares dividend rates were reset to the maximum applicable rate, which ranged from 0.20% to 5.76%. A failed auction is not an event of default for the Funds but it has a nega- tive impact on the liquidity of Preferred Shares. A failed auction occurs when there are more sellers of a fund’s auction rate preferred shares than buyers. It is impossible to predict how long this imbalance will last. A suc- cessful auction for the Funds’ Preferred Shares may not occur for some time, if ever, and even if liquidity does resume, Preferred Shareholders may not have the ability to sell the Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference. The Funds may not declare dividends or make other distributions on Common Shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the outstanding Preferred Shares is less than 200%. Prior to December 22, 2008, the Funds paid commissions to certain broker-dealers at the end of each auction at an annual rate of 0.25%, calculated on the aggregate principal amount. On December 22, 2008, commissions paid to broker-dealers on Preferred Shares that experience a failed auction were reduced to 0.15% on the aggregate principal amount. Subsequently, certain broker-dealers have individually agreed to further reduce commissions for failed auctions. The Funds will continue to pay commissions of 0.25% on the aggregate principal amount of all shares that successfully clear their auctions. MLPF&S earned commissions for the period November 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008 (after which time Merrill Lynch was no longer considered an affiliate) as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) All of the Funds, except BGT, financed the Preferred Share redemptions with cash received from reverse repurchase agreements. BGT financed the Preferred Share redemptions with cash received from a loan. Preferred Shares issued and outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2007 for BGT and BPP remained constant. 8. Borrowings: On May 16, 2008, BGT renewed its revolving credit and security Agreement (“Citicorp Agreement”) pursuant to a commercial paper asset securitization program with Citicorp North America, Inc. (“Citicorp”), as Agent, certain sec ondary backstop lenders and certain asset securitization conduits, as lenders (the “Lenders”). The agreement was renewed for one year and at the time of renewal had a maximum limit of $190 million. Under the Citicorp Agreement, the conduits funded advances to the Fund through the issuance of highly rated commercial paper. The Fund had granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets to, and in favor of, the Lenders as security for its obligations to the Lenders. The interest rate on the Fund’s borrowings was based on the interest rate carried by commercial paper plus a program fee. Effective December 5, 2008, the Fund renegotiated certain terms of the Citicorp Agreement and reduced the commitment amount to $134 million. On March 5, 2009, BGT terminated its revolving credit agreement with Citicorp and entered into a senior committed secured, 364-day revolving

line of credit and a separate security agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”). The SSB line of credit provides the Fund with a maximum commitment of $134 million. The Fund has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets to SSB.

As of October 31, 2009, the tax components of accumulated net losses were as follows:
PSW PSY BPP BTZ CII BGT
Capital loss carryforwards $(127,842,748) $(447,757,170) $(185,378,942) $(387,036,152) $(106,212,859) $ (73,270,778)

* The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized losses were attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the amortization methods for
premi-
ums and discounts on fixed income securities, the accrual of income on securities in default, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized
gains/(losses) on certain futures and
foreign currency contracts, the timing and recognition of partnership income, the accounting for swap agreements, the deferral of compensation to trustees and directors, the
classi-
fication of investments and other temporary differences.
As of October 31, 2009, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates:

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trusts’ man- agement. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial high- lights of BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust I, Inc. and BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust II, Inc., for the year ended October 31, 2005 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated December 9, 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights. 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 audit 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 report- ing. 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 signifi- cant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures include confirmation of the securities owned as of October 31, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian and financial intermediaries; where replies were not received from financial intermediaries, 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 Credit Allocation Income Trust I, Inc. and BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust II, Inc., the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Additionally, in our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust III, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for the year then ended, for the period January 1, 2008 to October 31, 2008, and for the year ended December 31, 2007, and the financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2009, for the period January 1, 2008 to October 31, 2008, and for each of the four years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Additionally, in our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust IV, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial high- lights for each of the two years in the period then ended, and for the period

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements

The Board of Directors or the Board of Trustees, as the case may be, (each, a “Board” and, collectively, the “Boards,” and the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of each of BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust I, Inc. (formerly BlackRock Preferred and Corporate Income Strategies Fund, Inc.) (“PSW”), BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust II, Inc. (formerly BlackRock Preferred Income Strategies Fund, Inc.) (“PSY”), BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust III (formerly BlackRock Preferred Opportunity Trust) (“BPP”), BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust IV (for- merly BlackRock Preferred and Equity Advantage Trust) (“BTZ”), BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. (“CII”) and BlackRock Floating Rate Income Trust (“BGT,” and together with PSW, PSY, BPP, BTZ, and CII, each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) met on April 14, 2009, May 28 – 29, 2009 and August 25 – 26, 2009 to consider the approval of its respective Fund’s investment advisory agreement (each, an “Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), each Fund’s investment advisor. The Board of each of PSW, PSY, BPP, BTZ, CII and BGT also considered the approval of a sub-advisory agreement (each, a “Sub- Advisory Agreement”) among its respective Fund, the Manager and one or both of the following sub-advisors, as the case may be: BlackRock Financial Management, Inc.; and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (each, a “Sub-Advisor”). The Manager and the Sub-Advisors are referred to herein as “BlackRock.” The Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to herein as the “Agreements.” Unless otherwise indicated, references to actions taken by the “Board” or the “Boards” shall mean each Board acting independently with respect to its Fund. Activities and Composition of the Boards Each Board consists of twelve individuals, ten of whom are not “interested persons” of the Funds as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board Members of each Fund are responsible for the oversight of the oper- ations of such Fund and perform the various duties imposed on the direc- tors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in con- nection with their duties. The Chairman of each Board is an Independent Board Member. Each Board has established five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight Committee and an Executive Committee, each of which is composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Executive Committee, which has one interested Board Member) and is chaired by an Independent Board Member. In addition, the Boards of certain of the Funds have established an Ad Hoc Committee on Auction Market Preferred Shares. The Agreements Pursuant to the 1940 Act, each Board is required to consider the continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. In connection with this process, each Board assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the services provided to its respective Fund by the personnel of BlackRock and its affiliates, including investment management, administrative and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services and assistance in meeting applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Throughout the year, the Boards, acting directly and through their commit- tees, consider at each of their meetings 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 share- holders. Among the matters the Boards considered were: (a) investment performance for one-, three- and five-year periods, as applicable, against peer funds, and applicable benchmarks, if any, as well as senior manage- ment and portfolio managers’ analysis of the reasons for any out perform- ance or underperformance against its peers; (b) fees, including advisory and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by the Funds for services such as call center and fund accounting; (c) the Funds’ operating expenses; (d) the resources devoted to, and compliance reports relating to, the Funds’ investment objectives, policies and restrictions; (e) the Funds’ compliance with their Code of Ethics and compliance policies and proce- dures; (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; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Board; (i) execution quality of port- folio transactions and, as applicable, the use of brokerage commissions; (j) BlackRock’s implementation of the Funds’ valuation and liquidity proce- dures; and (k) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business. Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements The Approval Process: Prior to the April 14, 2009 meeting, each Board requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. Each Board is engaged in an ongoing process with BlackRock to continu- ously 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 pre- pared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on Fund fees and expenses, and the invest- ment performance of each Fund as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper and, where applicable, a customized peer group selected by BlackRock (collectively, “Peers”); (b) information on the profit- ability of the Agreements to BlackRock and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment advisory fees charged to other clients, such as institutional clients and open-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as well as the performance of such other clients; (d) the impact of economies of scale; (e) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by each Fund to BlackRock; and (f) an internal comparison of management fees classified by Lipper, if applicable. At an in-person meeting held on April 14, 2009, each Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the April 14, 2009 meeting, the Boards presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional informa- tion and BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the May 28 – 29, 2009 Board meeting. At an in-person meeting held on May 28 – 29, 2009, the Boards of each of BGT, BPP, BTZ and CII, including the Independent Board Members, unani- mously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the

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

Manager and such Fund and the Sub-Advisory Agreement among such Fund, the Manager and the Sub-Advisor(s), as applicable, each for a one- year term ending June 30, 2010. The Boards considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to the Funds, including, among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of the Fund and BlackRock portfolio man- agement; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and certain affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; (d) economies of scale; and (e) other factors. Each Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as services related to the valuation and pricing of its respective Fund’s portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders from their relation ship with such Fund and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Board’s 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 controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered. At the in-person meeting held on May 28 – 29, 2009, the Boards of each of PSY and PSW held extended discussions of the long- and short-term performance of PSY and PSW and the future prospects for the investment policies of such Funds with respect to investing in primarily preferred stocks. At such meeting, the Boards of each of PSY and PSW approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and each such Fund and the Sub-Advisory Agreement among such Fund, the Manager and the Sub-Advisor(s) on an interim basis for a three-month period ended September 30, 2009. In taking such action, the Boards of each of PSY and PSW noted that the interim approval of the Agreements was intended to allow and encourage BlackRock to explore various alter- natives for the future management of PSY and PSW, and to report back to the Boards with recommendations at the Boards’ next regularly scheduled in-person meetings. At an in-person meeting of the Boards of each of PSY and PSW on August 25 – 26, 2009, BlackRock recommended changing certain investment policies of PSY and PSW by removing their non-fundamental investment policies requiring that they invest at least 80% of their respec- tive assets in preferred securities and adopting a new non-fundamental policy requiring that PSY and PSW invest at least 80% of their respective total assets in credit-related securities, including, but not limited to, investment grade corporate bonds, high yield bonds, bank loans, preferred securities or convertible bonds or derivatives with economic characteristics similar to these credit-related securities. As a result of these investment policy amendments, PSY and PSW were proposed to be renamed BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust I, Inc. and BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust II, Inc., respectively, to reflect their new portfolio characteristics. After considering BlackRock’s proposed changes for PSY and PSW and recalling their deliberations with respect to PSY and PSW at the April and May Board meetings, the Board of each such Fund, including the

Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and such Fund and the Sub- Advisory Agreement among such Fund, the Manager and the Sub-Advisor(s), each for a nine-month term ending June 30, 2010. A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services: Each Board, including its Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and the resulting performance of its respective Fund. Throughout the year, each Board compared its respective Fund’s performance to the perform- ance of a comparable group of closed-end funds, and the performance of a relevant benchmark, if any. The Boards met with BlackRock’s senior man- agement personnel responsible for investment operations, including the senior investment officers. Each Board also reviewed the materials provided by its respective Fund’s portfolio management team discussing such Fund’s performance and such Fund’s investment objective, strategies and outlook. Each Board considered, among other factors, the number, education and experience of BlackRock’s investment personnel generally and its respective Fund’s portfolio management team, investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage, BlackRock’s portfolio trading capabilities, BlackRock’s use of technology, BlackRock’s commitment to compliance and BlackRock’s approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. Each Board also reviewed a general description of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to its respective Fund’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high-quality talent. In addition to advisory services, each Board considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to its respec- tive Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders provide the Funds with certain administrative and other 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 addition to investment advisory services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Funds with other services, including (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus and the statement of additional information in connection with the initial public offering and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) prepar- ing 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) pro- viding legal and compliance support; and (viii) performing other adminis- trative 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 adminis- tration, accounting, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applica- ble laws and regulations. B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and BlackRock: Each Board, including its Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of its respective Fund. In preparation for the April 14,

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

2009 meeting, the Boards were provided with reports, independently pre- pared 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 its review, each Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment per- formance of its respective Fund as compared to a representative group of similar funds as determined by Lipper and to all funds in such Fund’s applicable Lipper category and, where applicable, a customized peer group selected by BlackRock. Each Board was provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds. Each Board regularly reviews the performance of its respective Fund throughout the year. The Board of BTZ noted that, in general, BTZ performed better than its Peers in that the performance of BTZ was at or above the median of its customized Lipper peer group in both the one-year and since inception periods reported. The Board of CII noted that, in general, CII performed better than its Peers in that the performance of CII was at or above the median of its Lipper Performance Universe in two of the one-year, three-year and since incep- tion periods reported. The Board of BGT noted that, in general, BGT performed better than its Peers in that the performance of BGT was at or above the median of its Lipper Performance Universe in each of the one-year, three-year and since inception periods reported. The Board of each of PSW, PSY, and BPP noted that PSW, PSY, and BPP performed below the median of their respective customized Lipper peer group in the one-, three- and five-year periods reported. The Board of each of PSW, PSY, and BPP, and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for PSW’s, PSY’s, and BPP’s underperformance during these periods compared with their respective Peers. Each Board was informed that, among other things, PSW’s, PSY’s, and BPP’s respective underweight position to retail preferreds negatively impacted each such Fund. For PSW, PSY and BPP, the Board of each respective Fund and BlackRock discussed BlackRock’s commitment to providing the resources necessary to assist the portfolio managers and to improve each such Fund’s per- formance, including the changes to PSW’s and PSY’s non-fundamental investment policies. C. Consideration of the Advisory 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 its Independent Board Members, reviewed its respective Fund’s contractual advisory fee rates compared with the other funds in its respective Lipper category. Each Board also compared its respective Fund’s total expenses, as well as actual management fees, to those of other comparable funds. Each Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, including separately managed institutional accounts. The Boards received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided the Funds. 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 profitabil- ity with respect to the Funds and other funds the Boards currently oversee for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to other fund com- plexes 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 by the Manager, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and busi- ness mix, and therefore comparability of profitability is somewhat limited. The Boards noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. Nevertheless, to the extent such information is available, the Boards considered BlackRock’s overall operat- ing margin, in general, compared to the operating margin for leading invest- ment management firms whose operations include advising closed-end funds, among other product types. The comparison indicated that operating margins for BlackRock with respect to its registered funds are generally consistent with margins earned by similarly situated publicly traded com- petitors. In addition, the Boards considered, among other things, certain third-party data comparing BlackRock’s operating margin with that of other publicly-traded asset management firms, which concluded that larger asset bases do not, in themselves, translate to higher profit margins. 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 and distribution of the Funds and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of their 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 manage- ment personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to con- tinue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Boards. The Boards of each of BGT, BPP, BTZ, CII, PSY and PSW noted that its respective Fund paid contractual management fees, which do not take into account any expense reimbursement or fee waivers, lower than or equal to the median contractual management fees paid by such Fund’s Peers. D. Economies of Scale: Each Board, including its Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of its respective Fund increase and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable such Fund to participate in these economies of scale, for example through the use of breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the assets of such Fund. The Boards considered that the funds in the BlackRock fund complex share some common resources and, as a result, an increase in the overall size of the complex could permit each fund to incur lower expenses than it would otherwise as a stand-alone entity. The Boards also considered BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations.

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

The Boards noted that most closed-end fund complexes do not have fund level breakpoints because closed-end funds generally do not experience substantial growth after the initial public offering and each fund is man- aged independently, consistent with its own investment objectives. The Boards noted that only one closed-end fund in the Fund Complex has breakpoints in its fee structure. Information provided by Lipper also revealed that only one closed-end fund complex used a complex-level breakpoint structure. E. Other Factors: The Boards also took into account other ancillary or “fall- out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates and significant shareholders may derive from their relationship with the Funds, both tangible and intan- gible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affili- ates and significant shareholders as service providers to the Funds, includ- ing for administrative and distribution services. The Boards also noted that BlackRock may use third-party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain mutual fund transactions to assist itself in managing all or a number of its other client accounts. In connection with their consideration of the Agreements, the Boards also received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar prac- tices. The Boards received reports from BlackRock, which included informa- tion on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year.

Conclusion Each Board, including its Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between its respec- tive Fund and the Manager for a one-year term ending June 30, 2010, in the case of BGT, BPP, BTZ and CII, and for a three-month interim period followed by a nine-month term ending June 30, 2010 for each of PSW and PSY, and, where applicable, the Sub-Advisory Agreement among such Fund, the Manager and such Fund’s Sub-Advisor(s) for a one-year term ending June 30, 2010, in the case of BGT, BPP, BTZ and CII, and for a three-month interim period followed by a nine-month term ending June 30, 2010 for each of PSW and PSY. Based upon its evaluation of all these fac- tors in their totality, each Board, including its Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of its respective Fund and its shareholders. In arriving at a decision to approve the Agreements, each Board 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 inde- pendent legal counsel in making this determination. The contractual fee arrangements for each Fund reflects the results of several years of review by such Fund’s Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and BlackRock. Certain aspects of the arrangements may be the subject of more attention in some years than in others, and the Board Members’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.

Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plans For PSW, PSY and CII PSW, PSY and CII offer a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) under which income and capital gains dividends paid by a Fund are automati- cally reinvested in additional Common Shares of the Fund. The Plan is administered on behalf of the shareholders by BNY Mellon Shareowner Services for CII and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. for PSW and PSY (individually, the “Plan Agent” or together, the “Plan Agents”). Under the Plan, whenever a Fund declares a dividend, participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in Common Shares of the Fund. The Plan Agents will acquire the shares for the participant’s account either (i) through receipt of addi- tional unissued but authorized shares of the Funds (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding Common Shares on the open market on the New York Stock Exchange, as applicable, or elsewhere. If, on the divi- dend payment date, the Fund’s net asset value per share is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (a condition often referred to as a “market premium”), the Plan Agents will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares. If the Fund’s net asset value per share is greater than the market price per share (a condition often referred to as a “market discount”), the Plan Agents will invest the dividend amount by purchasing on the open market additional shares. If the Plan Agents are unable to invest the full dividend amount in open market pur- chases, or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Agents will invest any uninvested portion in newly issued shares. The shares acquired are credited to each shareholder’s account. The amount credited is determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by either (i) when the shares are newly issued, the net asset value per share on the date the shares are issued or (ii) when shares are purchased in the open market, the average purchase price per share. Participation in the Plan is automatic, that is, a shareholder is automati- cally enrolled in the Plan when he or she purchases shares of Common Shares of the Funds unless the shareholder specifically elects not to partici- pate in the Plan. Shareholders who elect not to participate will receive all dividend distributions in cash. Shareholders who do not wish to participate in the Plan must advise their Plan Agent in writing (at the address set forth below) that they elect not to participate in the Plan. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by writing to the Plan Agent. The Plan provides an easy, convenient way for shareholders to make addi- tional, regular investments in the Funds. The Plan promotes a long-term strategy of investing at a lower cost. All shares acquired pursuant to the Plan receive voting rights. In addition, if the market price plus commissions of a Fund’s shares is above the net asset value, participants in the Plan will receive shares of the Funds for less than they could otherwise purchase them and with a cash value greater than the value of any cash distribution they would have received. However, there may not be enough shares avail- able in the market to make distributions in shares at prices below the net asset value. Also, since the Funds do not redeem shares, the price on resale may be more or less than the net asset value.

There are no enrollment fees or brokerage fees for participating in the Plan. The Plan Agents’ service fees for handling the reinvestment of distri- butions are paid for by the Funds. However, brokerage commissions may be incurred when the Funds purchase shares on the open market and share- holders will pay a pro rata share of any such commissions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such dividends. Therefore, income and capital gains may still be realized even though shareholders do not receive cash. If, when the Funds’ shares are trading at a market premium, the Funds issue shares pursuant to the Plan that have a greater fair market value than the amount of cash reinvested, it is possible that all or a portion of the discount from the market value (which may not exceed 5% of the fair market value of the Funds’ shares) could be viewed as a taxable distri- bution. If the discount is viewed as a taxable distribution, it is also possible that the taxable character of this discount would be allocable to all the shareholders, including shareholders who do not participate in the Plan. Thus, shareholders who do not participate in the Plan might be required to report as ordinary income a portion of their distributions equal to their allo- cable share of the discount. All correspondence concerning the Plan, including any questions about the Plan, should be directed to the Plan Agent at the following addresses: Shareholders of CII should contact BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, P.O. Box 385035, Pittsburgh, PA 15252-8035 Telephone: (866) 216-0242 and shareholders of PSW and PSY should contact Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078 Telephone: (800) 699-1BFM or overnight correspondence should be directed to the Plan Agent at 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021. For BPP, BTZ and BGT Pursuant to the Plan of BPP, BTZ and BGT (the “Funds”), shareholders are automatically enrolled to have all distributions of dividends and capital gains reinvested by Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Plan Agent”) in the respective Fund’s shares pursuant to the Plan. Shareholders who do not participate in the 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 Plan Agent, which serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Plan. After the Funds declare a dividend or determine to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants’ account, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Funds (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by 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 Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participant’s

64 ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009

$$/page=

Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plans (concluded)

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 payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV is greater than the market value per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market discount”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases. The Plan Agent’s fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be paid by each Fund. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the 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 Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however each Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Participants who request a sale of shares through the Plan Agent are subject to a $2.50 sales fee and a $0.15 per share sold brokerage commission. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at P.O. Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078 or by calling (800) 699-1BFM. All overnight correspondence should be directed to the Plan Agent at 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021.

Additional Information (continued) Dividend Policy Each Fund’s, except CII’s, dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of its net investment income to its shareholders on a monthly (quarterly for CII) basis. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, the Funds may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in any particular month/quarter and may at times in any particular month/quarter pay out such accumu- lated but undistributed income in addition to net investment income

earned in that month/quarter. As a result, the dividends paid by the Funds for any particular month/quarter may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Funds during such month/quarter. The Funds’ current accumulated but undistributed net investment income, if any, is disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, which com- prises part of the financial information included in this report.

General Information The Funds do not make available copies of their Statements of Additional Information because the Funds’ shares are not continuously offered, which means that the Statement of Additional Information of each Fund has not been updated after completion of the respective Fund’s offerings and the information contained in each Fund’s Statement of Additional Information may have become outdated. CII During the period, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of CII approved a change to the Fund’s option writing policy. The Fund has the authority to write ( i.e. , sell) put options on the types of securities or instruments that may be held by the Fund, provided that such put options are covered, meaning that such options are secured by segregated, liquid instruments or cash. Under the original policy, the Fund was limited from selling puts if, as a result, more than 50% of the Fund’s assets would be required to cover its potential obligations under its hedging and other investment transac- tions. The Board approved the elimination of this 50% requirement. When the Fund writes covered put options, it bears the risk of loss if the value of the underlying stock declines below the exercise price minus the put pre- mium. If the option is exercised, the Fund could incur a loss if it is required to purchase the stock underlying the put option at a price greater than the market price of the stock at the time of exercise plus the put premium the Fund received when it wrote the option. While the Fund’s potential gain in writing a covered put option is limited to distributions earned on the liquid assets securing the put option plus the premium received from the pur- chaser of the put option, the Fund risks a loss equal to the entire exercise price of the option minus the put premium. PSW, PSY, BPP and BTZ On August 26, 2009, the Board of PSW, PSY, BPP and BTZ (the “Funds”) approved a change to certain investment policies of the Funds. As a result of these policy changes, PSY and BPP will no longer focus their investments primarily on preferred securities and PSW will no longer focus its invest- ments primarily on preferred securities and corporate bonds. In addition, BTZ will no longer focus its investments primarily on preferred and equity securities, nor will it employ an option-writing strategy in the future. Instead, the Funds will transition to a portfolio investing in a broader spectrum of securities across the capital structure. In addition, the Board approved name changes for the Funds as follows:

Prior Name New Name BlackRock Preferred and Corporate BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Income Strategies Fund, Inc. Trust I, Inc. BlackRock Preferred Income Strategies BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Fund, Inc. Trust II, Inc. BlackRock Preferred Opportunity Trust BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust III BlackRock Preferred and Equity BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust IV Advantage Trust

PSY and BPP each previously employed a non-fundamental investment pol- icy of investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its total assets in preferred securities. PSW previously employed a non-fundamental investment policy of investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its total assets in a portfolio of preferred securities and corporate debt securities. In addition, PSW employed a policy of investing, under normal market conditions, at least 65% of its total assets in preferred securities and up to 35% of its total assets in debt securities. BTZ previ- ously employed a non-fundamental investment policy of investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its total assets in preferred and equity securities and derivatives with economic characteristics similar to individual or groups of equity securities. For each Fund, its non-fundamen- tal policy has been revised to allow the Fund to invest, under normal mar- ket conditions, at least 80% of its total assets in credit-related securities, including, but not limited to, investment grade corporate bonds, high yield bonds, bank loans, preferred securities or convertible bonds or derivatives with economic characteristics similar to these credit-related securities. The Board has taken these actions in response to the current and prospec- tive market environment for preferred securities. BlackRock and the Board believe the amended policies will better position each Fund to achieve its investment objective and are in the best interests of the Funds’ sharehold- ers. The approved changes will not alter the Funds’ investment objectives and each Fund will continue to be managed in accordance with its invest- ment objective of primarily providing shareholders with current income and secondarily providing shareholders with capital appreciation. In addition to the foregoing, the Board also approved changes to each Fund’s restriction on credit quality of eligible investments. Previously, each Fund was restricted to investing, under normal market conditions, no more than 20% of its total assets in securities rated below investment grade at the time of purchase. The amended policy allows each Fund to invest, under normal market conditions, without limitation in securities rated below investment grade at the time of purchase. While this policy affords each Fund additional flexibility to invest in securities rated below investment grade at the time of purchase, it is anticipated, under current market con- ditions, that the Fund will maintain an average credit quality of at least investment grade. BlackRock anticipates that it will gradually reposition each Fund’s portfolio over time and that during such period the Fund may continue to hold a substantial portion of its assets in preferred securities, corporate bonds and/or equity securities, as applicable. At this time, it is uncertain how long the repositioning may take, and the Fund may continue to be subject to

Additional Information (continued) General Information (continued) risks associated with investing a substantial portion of its assets in pre- ferred securities until the repositioning is complete. The Fund’s Investments Following the transition, each Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in credit-related securities, including, but not limited to, the follow- ing types of investments: Corporate Bonds — The Funds may invest in corporate bonds. The invest- ment return of corporate bonds reflects interest on the security and changes in the market value of the security. The market value of a corporate bond generally may be expected to rise and fall inversely with interest rates. The market value of a corporate bond also may be affected by the credit rating of the corporation, the corporation’s performance and perceptions of the corporation in the market place. There is a risk that the issuers of the securities may not be able to meet their obligations on interest or principal payments at the time called for by an instrument. Below Investment Grade Securities — Though the Funds’ portfolios are expected to maintain an average credit quality of at least investment grade quality, the Fund may have a portion of its assets invested in securities rated below investment grade, such as those rated Ba or lower by Moody’s and BB or lower by S&P or Fitch or securities comparably rated by other rating agencies, or in unrated securities determined by BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) to be of comparable quality. Securities rated Ba by Moody’s are judged to have speculative elements, their future cannot be considered as well assured and often the protection of interest and princi- pal payments may be very moderate. Securities rated BB by S&P or Fitch are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics and, while such obligations have less near-term vulnerability to default than other speculative grade debt, they face major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial or economic conditions which could lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments. Securities rated C are regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing. Securities rated D are in default and the payment of interest and/or repayment of principal is in arrears. When the Manager believes it to be in the best interests of the Funds’ share- holders, the Funds will reduce their investment in lower grade securities. Bank Loans — The Fund may invest in bank loans denominated in US and foreign currencies that are originated, negotiated and structured by a syn- dicate of lenders (“Co-Lenders”) consisting of commercial banks, thrift institutions, insurance companies, financial companies or other financial institutions one or more of which administers the security on behalf of the syndicate (the “Agent Bank”). Co-Lenders may sell such securities to third parties called “Participants.” The Fund may invest in such securities either by participating as a Co-Lender at origination or by acquiring an interest in the security from a Co-Lender or a Participant (collectively, “Participation Interests”). Co-Lenders and Participants interposed between the Fund and the corporate borrower (the “Borrower”), together with Agent Banks, are referred herein as “Intermediate Participants.” The Fund also may purchase a participation interest in a portion of the rights of an Intermediate Participant, which would not establish any direct relationship between the Fund and the Borrower. In such cases, the Fund would be required to rely on the

Intermediate Participant that sold the participation interest not only for the enforcement of the Fund’s rights against the Borrower but also for the receipt and processing of payments due to the Fund under the security. Because it may be necessary to assert through an Intermediate Participant such rights as may exist against the Borrower, in the event the Borrower fails to pay principal and interest when due, the Fund may be subject to delays, expenses and risks that are greater than those that would be involved if the Fund could enforce its rights directly against the Borrower. Moreover, under the terms of a Participation Interest, the Fund may be regarded as a creditor of the Intermediate Participant (rather than of the Borrower), so that the Fund may also be subject to the risk that the Inter- mediate Participant may become insolvent. Similar risks may arise with respect to the Agent Bank if, for example, assets held by the Agent Bank for the benefit of the Fund were determined by the appropriate regulatory authority or court to be subject to the claims of the Agent Bank’s creditors. In such case, the Fund might incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment in connection with the Participation Interest or suffer a loss of principal and/or interest. Further, in the event of the bankruptcy or insol- vency of the Borrower, the obligation of the Borrower to repay the loan may be subject to certain defenses that can be asserted by such Borrower as a result of improper conduct by the Agent Bank or Intermediate Participant. Convertible Bonds — The Fund may invest in convertible bonds. A convertible bond is a bond that may be converted into or exchanged for a prescribed amount of common stock or other equity security of the same or a different issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or formula. A convertible bond entitles the holder to receive interest paid or accrued on debt until the convertible bond matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged. Before conversion, convertible bonds have characteristics simi- lar to nonconvertible income securities in that they ordinarily provide a sta- ble stream of income with generally higher yields than those of common stocks of the same or similar issuers, but lower yields than comparable nonconvertible bonds. The value of a convertible bond is influenced by changes in interest rates, with investment value declining as interest rates increase and increasing as interest rates decline. The credit standing of the issuer and other factors also may have an effect on the convertible bond’s investment value. Convertible bonds rank senior to common stock in a cor- poration’s capital structure but are usually subordinated to comparable nonconvertible bonds. Convertible bonds may be subject to redemption at the option of the issuer at a price established in the convertible bond’s governing instrument. Credit Derivatives — The Fund may engage in credit derivative transactions. There are two broad categories of credit derivatives: default price risk derivatives and market spread derivatives. Default price risk derivatives are linked to the price of reference securities or loans after a default by the issuer or borrower, respectively. Market spread derivatives are based on the risk that changes in market factors, such as credit spreads, can cause a decline in the value of a security, loan or index. There are three basic trans- actional forms for credit derivatives: swaps, options and structured instru- ments. The Fund may use credit default swaps. A credit default swap is an agreement between two counterparties that allows one counterparty (the “seller”) to purchase or be “long” a third party’s credit risk and the other party (the “buyer”) to sell or be “short” the credit risk. Typically, the seller

ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009 71

$$/page=

Additional Information (continued) General Information (continued) agrees to make regular fixed payments to the buyer with the same fre- quency as the underlying reference bond. In exchange, the seller typically has the right upon default of the underlying bond to put the bond to the buyer in exchange for the bond’s par value plus interest. Credit default swaps can be used as a substitute for purchasing or selling a credit secu- rity and sometimes are preferable to actually purchasing the security. The Fund does not intend to leverage its investments through the use of credit default swaps. A purchaser of a credit default swap is subject to counter- party risk. The Fund will monitor any such swaps or derivatives with a view towards ensuring that the Fund remains in compliance with all applicable regulatory, investment policy and tax requirements. Risks As a result of the Fund’s portfolio restructuring and revisions to certain of its non-fundamental investment policies, your investment in the Fund will be subject to the following additional risks following the transition: Credit Risk — Credit risk is the risk that one or more debt securities in the Fund’s portfolio will decline in price or fail to pay interest or principal when due because the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial status. If the recent adverse conditions in the credit markets adversely affect the broader economy, the credit quality of issuers of credit securities in which the Fund may invest would be more likely to decline, all other things being equal. While a senior position in the capital structure of a bor- rower may provide some protection with respect to the Fund’s investments in senior secured floating rate and fixed rate loans or debt, losses may still occur. To the extent the Fund invests in below investment grade securities, it will be exposed to a greater amount of credit risk than a Fund which invests in investment grade securities. The prices of lower grade securities are more sensitive to negative developments, such as a decline in the issuer’s rev- enues or a general economic downturn, than are the prices of higher grade securities. Securities of below investment grade quality are predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal when due and therefore involve a greater risk of default. In addi- tion, the Fund’s use of credit derivatives will expose it to additional risk in the event that the bonds underlying the derivatives default. Interest Rate Risk — The value of certain debt securities in the Fund’s port- folio could be affected by interest rate fluctuations. When interest rates decline, the value of fixed rate securities can be expected to rise. Con- versely, when interest rates rise, the value of fixed rate securities can be expected to decline. Recent adverse conditions in the credit markets may cause interest rates to rise. Although changes in prevailing interest rates can be expected to cause some fluctuations in the value of floating rate securities (due to the fact that rates only reset periodically), the values of these securities are substantially less sensitive to changes in market inter- est rates than fixed rate instruments. Fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s securities will not affect interest income on existing securities, but will be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. The Fund may utilize certain strate- gies, including taking positions in futures or interest rate swaps, for the pur- pose of reducing the interest rate sensitivity of the portfolio and decreasing the Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk, although there is no assurance that it will do so or that such strategies will be successful.

Prepayment Risk — During periods of declining interest rates, borrowers may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled. For fixed rate securities, such payments often occur during periods of declin- ing interest rates, forcing the Fund to reinvest in lower yielding securities, resulting in a possible decline in the Fund’s income and distributions to shareholders. This is known as prepayment or “call” risk. Below investment grade securities frequently have call features that allow the issuer to redeem the security at dates prior to its stated maturity at a specified price (typi- cally greater than par) only if certain prescribed conditions are met (“call protection”). An issuer may redeem a below investment grade security if, for example, the issuer can refinance the debt at a lower cost due to declin- ing interest rates or an improvement in the credit standing of the issuer. Certain of the Fund’s investments will not have call protection. For premium bonds (bonds acquired at prices that exceed their par or principal value) purchased by the Fund, prepayment risk may be enhanced. Below Investment Grade Risk — The Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in fixed income securities that are rated below investment grade, which are commonly referred to as “junk bonds” and are regarded as predominately speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Lower grade securities may be particularly susceptible to economic down- turns. It is likely that a prolonging of the current economic recession or a future economic recession could disrupt severely the market for such secu- rities and may have an adverse impact on the value of such securities. In addition, it is likely that any such continuing or future economic downturn could adversely affect the ability of the issuers of such securities to repay principal and pay interest thereon and increase the incidence of default for such securities. Lower grade securities, though high yielding, are characterized by high risk. They may be subject to certain risks with respect to the issuing entity and to greater market fluctuations than certain lower yielding, higher rated securities. The retail secondary market for lower grade securities may be less liquid than that for higher rated securities. Adverse conditions could make it difficult at times for the Fund to sell certain securities or could result in lower prices than those used in calculating the Fund’s net asset value. Because of the substantial risks associated with investments in lower grade securities, you could lose money on your investment in common shares of the Fund, both in the short-term and the long-term. Bank Loan Risk — As in the case of junk bonds, bank loans may be rated in lower grade rating categories, or may be unrated but of lower grade qual- ity. As in the case of junk bonds, bank loans can provide higher yields than higher grade income securities, but are subject to greater credit and other risks. Although bank loan obligations often are secured by pledges of assets by the borrower and have other structural aspects intended to pro- vide greater protection to the holders of bank loans than the holders of unsecured and subordinated securities, there are also additional risks in holding bank loans. In particular, the secondary trading market for bank loans is not well developed, and therefore, bank loans present increased market risk relating to liquidity and pricing concerns. In addition, there is

72 ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009

Additional Information (continued) General Information (concluded) no assurance that the liquidation of the collateral would satisfy the claims of the borrower’s obligations in the event of the nonpayment of scheduled interest or principal, or that the collateral could be readily liquidated. As a result, the Fund might not receive payments to which it is entitled and thereby may experience a decline in the value of its investment and its net asset value. Convertible Bonds Risk — Although to a lesser extent than with fixed-income securities, the market value of convertible bonds tends to decline as inter- est rates increase and, conversely, tends to increase as interest rates decline. In addition, because of the conversion feature, the market value of convertible bonds tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying common stock. A unique feature of convertible bonds is that as the market price of the underlying common stock declines, convertible bonds tend to trade increasingly on a yield basis, and so may not experi- ence market value declines to the same extent as the underlying common stock. When the market price of the underlying common stock increases, the prices of the convertible bonds tend to rise as a reflection of the value of the underlying common stock. While no securities investments are with- out risk, investments in convertible bonds generally entail less risk than investments in common stock of the same issuer. Credit Derivatives Risk — The use of credit derivatives is a highly specialized activity which involves strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. If the Manager is incorrect in its forecasts of default risks, market spreads or other applicable factors, the investment performance of the Fund would diminish compared with what it would have been if these techniques were not used. Moreover, even if the Manager is correct in its forecasts, there is a risk that a credit derivative posi- tion may correlate imperfectly with the price of the asset or liability being protected. The Fund’s risk of loss in a credit derivative transaction varies with the form of the transaction. For example, if the Fund purchases a default option on a security, and if no default occurs with respect to the security, the Fund’s loss is limited to the premium it paid for the default option. In con- trast, if there is a default by the grantor of a default option, the Fund’s loss will include both the premium that it paid for the option and the decline in value of the underlying security that the default option protected. Other than the revisions discussed above, there were no material changes in the Funds’ investment objectives or policies or to the Funds’ charters or by-laws that were not approved by the shareholders or in the principal risk factors associated with investment in the Funds. There have been no changes in the persons who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds’ portfolios. BGT During the period, the Board of BGT approved a change to the Fund’s name from “BlackRock Global Floating Rate Income Trust” to “BlackRock Floating Rate Income Trust.”

Item 2 – Code of Ethics – The registrant (or the “Fund”) has adopted a code of ethics, as of the end of the period covered by this report, applicable to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions. During the period covered by this report, there have been no amendments to or waivers granted under the code of ethics. A copy of the code of ethics is available without charge at www.blackrock.com. Item 3 – Audit Committee Financial Expert – The registrant’s board of directors or trustees, as applicable (the “board of directors”) has determined that (i) the registrant has the following audit committee financial experts serving on its audit committee and (ii) each audit committee financial expert is independent: Kent Dixon Frank J.

The registrant’s board of directors has determined that W. Carl Kester and Karen P. Robards qualify as financial experts pursuant to Item 3(c)(4) of Form N-CSR. Prof. Kester has a thorough understanding of generally accepted accounting principles, financial statements and internal control over financial reporting as well as audit committee functions. Prof. Kester has been involved in providing valuation and other financial consulting services to corporate clients since 1978. Prof. Kester’s financial consulting services present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the registrant’s financial statements. Ms. Robards has a thorough understanding of generally accepted accounting 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 formerly an investment banker for more than 10 years where she was responsible for evaluating and assessing the performance of companies based on their financial results. Ms. Robards has over 30 years of experience analyzing financial statements. She also is a member of the audit committee of one publicly held company and a non-profit organization. Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: The registrant’s audit committee (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 registrant’s affiliated 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 operation 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 for all of the registrants the Committee oversees. 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., 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 one or more of its members 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 audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any non-affiliated sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by the registrant’s investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant 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.

Regulation S-X Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) – $407,500, 0% Item 5 – Audit Committee of Listed Registrants – 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)): Kent Dixon Frank J. Fabozzi James T. Flynn W. Carl Kester Karen P. Robards Robert S. Salomon, Jr. (retired effective December 31, 2008) Item 6 – Investments (a) The registrant’s Schedule of Investments is included as part of the Report to Stockholders filed under Item 1 of this form. (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 securities to the Fund’s investment adviser (“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

(iv) Potential Material Conflicts of Interest

$$/page=

BlackRock and its affiliates (collectively, herein “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, its affiliates and significant shareholders and any officer, director, stockholder or employee may or may not have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale BlackRock recommends to the Fund. BlackRock, or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders, or any officer, director, stockholder, employee or any member of their families may take different actions than those recommended to the Fund by BlackRock with respect to the same securities. Moreover, BlackRock may refrain from rendering any advice or services concerning securities of companies of which any of BlackRock’s (or its affiliates’ or significant shareholders’) officers, directors or employees are directors or officers, or companies as to which BlackRock 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. Each portfolio manager also may manage accounts whose investment strategies may at times be opposed to the strategy utilized for a fund. In this connection, it should be noted that a portfolio manager may currently manage certain accounts that are subject to performance fees. In addition, a portfolio manager may assist in managing certain hedge funds and may be entitled to receive a portion of any incentive fees earned on such funds and a portion of such incentive fees may be voluntarily or involuntarily deferred. Additional portfolio managers may in the future manage other such accounts or funds and may be entitled to receive incentive fees. 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 has adopted a policy that is intended to ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably among client accounts over time. This policy also seeks to achieve 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. (a)(3) As of October 31, 2009: 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

$$/page=

benefits programs and one or more of the incentive compensation programs established by BlackRock such as its Long-Term Retention and Incentive Plan. Base compensation. Generally, portfolio managers receive base compensation based on their seniority and/or their position with the firm. Senior portfolio managers who perform additional management functions within the portfolio management group or within BlackRock may receive additional compensation for serving in these other capacities. Discretionary Incentive Compensation for Messrs. Rendino and Schansinger and Ms. King Discretionary incentive compensation is based on a formulaic compensation program. BlackRock’s formulaic portfolio manager compensation program includes: pre-tax investment performance relative to appropriate competitors or benchmarks over 1-, 3- and 5-year performance periods and a measure of operational efficiency. If a portfolio manager’s tenure is less than five years, performance periods will reflect time in position. In most cases, including for the portfolio managers of the Fund, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Fund or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers determine the benchmarks against which the performance of funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager is compared and the period of time over which performance is evaluated. With respect to the portfolio managers, such benchmarks for the equity component of the Fund include the Lipper Large Cap Value Funds classification. Portfolio managers who meet relative investment performance and financial management objectives during a specified performance time period are eligible to receive an additional bonus which may or may not be a large part of their overall compensation. 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, workforce diversity, supervision, technology and innovation. All factors are considered collectively by BlackRock management. Discretionary Incentive Compensation for Mr. McClements Discretionary incentive compensation is a function of several components: the performance of BlackRock, Inc., the performance of the portfolio manager’s group within BlackRock, the investment performance, including risk-adjusted returns, of the firm’s assets under management or supervision by that portfolio manager relative to predetermined benchmarks, and the individual’s seniority, role within the portfolio management team, teamwork and contribution to the overall performance of these portfolios and BlackRock. In most cases, including for the portfolio managers of the Fund, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Fund or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers determine the benchmarks against which the performance of funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager is compared and the period of time over which performance is evaluated. With respect to Mr. McClements, such benchmarks include a combination of Lipper peer groups and a subset of other closed-end funds. BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers make a subjective determination with respect to the portfolio manager’s compensation based on the performance of the funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager relative to the various benchmarks noted above.

$$/page=

Performance is measured on a pre-tax basis over various time periods including 1, 3 and 5- year periods, as applicable. 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. The BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units, if properly vested, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Typically, the cash bonus, when combined with base salary, represents more than 60% of total compensation for the portfolio managers. Paying a portion of annual bonuses in 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. Long-Term Retention and Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) — The LTIP is a long-term incentive plan that seeks to reward certain key employees. Prior to 2006, the plan provided for the grant of awards that were expressed as an amount of cash that, if properly vested and subject to the attainment of certain performance goals, will be settled in cash and/or in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Beginning in 2006, awards are granted under the LTIP in the form of BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units that, if properly vested and subject to the attainment of certain performance goals, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Messrs. Rendino, Schansinger and McClements and Ms. King have each received awards under the LTIP. Deferred Compensation Program — A portion of the compensation paid to eligible BlackRock employees may be voluntarily deferred into an account that tracks the performance of certain of the firm’s investment products. Each participant in the deferred compensation program is permitted to allocate his deferred amounts among the various investment options. Messrs. Rendino, Schansinger and McClements and Ms. King have each participated in the deferred compensation program. Other compensation benefits. In addition to base compensation and discretionary incentive compensation, portfolio managers may be eligible to receive or participate in one or more of the following: Incentive Savings Plans — BlackRock, Inc. has created a variety of incentive savings plans in which BlackRock 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 6% of eligible pay contributed to the plan capped at $4,000 per year, and a company retirement contribution equal to 3-5% of eligible compensation. The RSP offers a range of investment options, including registered investment companies managed by the firm. BlackRock contributions follow the investment direction set by participants for their own contributions or, absent employee investment direction, are invested into a balanced portfolio. The ESPP allows for investment in BlackRock 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 or a dollar value of $25,000. Each portfolio manager is eligible to participate in these plans.
