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

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

Section 19(b) Disclosure

The Trusts, acting pursuant to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) exemptive order and with the approval of each Trust’s Board of Trustees/Directors (the “Board”), each have adopted a plan, consistent with its investment objectives and policies to support a level distribution of income, capital gains and/or return of capital (the “Plan”). In accordance with the Plans, the Trusts currently distribute the following fixed amounts per share on a monthly basis as of December 31, 2014:

Exchange Symbol Amount Per Common Share
BGR $0.1350
CII $0.1000
BDJ $0.0467
BOE $0.0970
BME $0.1650
BGY $0.0490
BCX $0.0771
BST $0.1000
BUI $0.1210

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

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

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

The Markets in Review

Dear Shareholder,

After an extended period of calm, market volatility increased over the course of 2014, driven largely by higher valuations in risk assets (such as equities and high yield bonds), rising geopolitical risks and expectations around global central bank policies. Several key trends drove strong performance in U.S. markets, particularly large-cap stocks, Treasuries and municipal bonds, while markets outside the U.S. were more challenged.

Investors began the year in search of relatively safer assets due to heightened risks in emerging markets, slowing growth in China and weakening U.S. economic data. As a result, equities globally declined in January while bond markets strengthened despite the expectation that interest rates would rise as the U.S. Federal Reserve had begun reducing its asset purchase programs. Strong demand for relatively safer assets pushed U.S. Treasury bond prices higher and thus kept rates low in the United States. This surprising development, as well as increasing evidence that the soft patch in U.S. economic data had been temporary and weather-related, brought equity investors racing back to the market in February.

In the months that followed, interest rates trended lower in a modest growth environment and more investors turned to equities in search of yield. Markets remained relatively calm despite rising tensions in Russia and Ukraine and further signs of decelerating growth in China. Strong corporate earnings, increased merger and acquisition activity and signs of a strengthening recovery in the U.S. and other developed economies kept equity prices moving higher. Not all segments benefited from these trends, however, as investors ultimately became wary of high valuations, resulting in a broad rotation into cheaper assets.

Volatility ticked up in the summer as geopolitical tensions escalated and investors feared that better U.S. economic indicators may compel the Fed to increase short-term interest rates sooner than previously anticipated. Global credit markets tightened as the U.S. dollar strengthened, ultimately putting a strain on investor flows, and financial markets broadly weakened in the third quarter.

Several themes dominated the markets in the fourth quarter, resulting in higher levels of volatility and the outperformance of U.S. markets versus other areas of the world. Economic growth strengthened considerably in the United States while the broader global economy showed signs of slowing. The European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan took aggressive measures to stimulate growth while the Fed moved toward tighter policy. This divergence in central bank policy caused further strengthening in the U.S. dollar versus other currencies. Oil prices, which had been falling gradually since the summer, plummeted in the fourth quarter due to a global supply-and-demand imbalance. Energy stocks sold off sharply and oil-exporting economies suffered, resulting in the poor performance of emerging market stocks.

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

Sincerely,

The Benefits and Risks of Option Over-Writing

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014 5

Trust Summary as of December 31, 2014 BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust

Trust Overview

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

The Board of the Trust approved a change of the fiscal year of the Trust from October 31st to December 31st.

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

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the two-month period ended December 31, 2014, the Trust returned (10.18)% based on market price and (9.06)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Natural Resources Funds category posted an average return of (6.82)% based on market price and (6.75)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or distributions. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ The price of oil fell sharply during the two-month period due to the combination of falling demand, weaker economic growth expectations, continued supply strength and OPEC’s announcement that it would not cut production. The Trust’s holding in Encana Corp. was the largest detractor from returns as the company’s growth rate appeared to be at risk from the lower oil price.

Ÿ The Trust’s investment in the energy distribution company Enbridge, Inc. was the largest contributor to absolute performance. The market reacted favorably to the company’s announcement of a $17 billion restructuring program and a 33% increase in its quarterly dividend.

Ÿ The Trust’s holding in Cairn Energy PLC also benefited absolute returns, as the company announced a second discovery off the coast of Senegal during the period.

Ÿ The Trust made use of options, principally written call options on individual stocks, in order to seek enhanced returns while continuing to

participate in the performance of the underlying equities. The Trust’s option writing strategy did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

Ÿ The Trust held an above-average cash balance at the close of the period in order to manage risk in the weak market. Given the decline in the resources sector during the period, the elevated cash position had a positive impact on absolute performance.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ The Trust initiated a position in the U.S.-focused oil producer Marathon Oil Corp. during the period. The Trust sold its positions in the coal producer Consol Energy, Inc. and the energy distribution company TransCanada Corp. based on valuation. It also exited its position in the offshore oil-service company Cameron International Corp. due to concerns that the company’s business model will be particularly challenged by the environment of lower oil prices.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

Ÿ As of period end, the Trust held its largest allocations in the integrated oil & gas and exploration & production sub-industries, with smaller allocations to oil services, distribution, and refining & marketing stocks. The Trust was underweight in the oil services industry, which stands to suffer from producers’ reduced spending on capital expenditures. The Trust continued to emphasize companies with strong balance sheets, high-quality assets and low costs of production.

Trust Summary as of December 31, 2014 BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc.

Trust Overview

BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc.’s (CII) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide investors with a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a portfolio of equity and debt securities of U.S. and foreign issuers. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. The Trust seeks to pursue this goal primarily by investing in a portfolio of equity securities and utilizing an option over-writing strategy in an effort to seek total return performance and enhance distributions.

The Board of the Trust approved a change of the fiscal year of the Trust from October 31st to December 31st.

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

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the two-month period ended December 31, 2014, the Trust returned (4.88)% based on market price and 2.69% based on NAV. For the same period, the benchmark S&P 500 ® Value Index returned 2.84%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ Stock selection across multiple sectors, including consumer discretionary, information technology (“IT”) and energy, detracted from relative returns. Within the consumer discretionary sector, a position in Sinclair Broadcasting Group, Inc. proved costly as the stock could not keep pace with the broader market during the period. In the IT sector, the strategy’s emphasis on higher-growth technology companies such as Google, Inc. and Apple, Inc. detracted from performance as value-oriented stocks, including Intel Corp. and Cisco Systems, Inc., produced strong relative performance. Lastly, the energy stocks Suncor Energy, Inc., Linn Energy LLC and HollyFrontier Corp. posted declines as falling crude oil prices resulted in significant selling pressure across the sector.

Ÿ The Trust made use of options, principally written call options on individual stocks, in order to seek enhanced returns while continuing to participate in the performance of the underlying equities. The Trust’s option writing strategy detracted from performance during the period.

Ÿ Relative to the S&P 500 Value Index, sector allocation decisions made the largest contribution to performance. Underweights in the energy and telecommunications services sectors, combined with overweights in consumer discretionary and IT, had the largest positive impact on relative performance. While overall stock selection detracted from results, gains in several long-term holdings, including Japan Airlines Co. Ltd., the mortgage title insurer FNF Group, Inc. and the technology company Leidos Holdings, Inc. helped overall returns. Like other transportation stocks, Japan Airlines was a direct beneficiary of the recent oil price decline.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ No new positions were initiated, but the Trust did increase exposure to select high conviction holdings, including Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. and FNF Group, Inc. These additions were funded out of portfolio cash as well as reductions in longer-term fund holdings that were approaching the investment manager’s price targets. Positions in American International Group, Inc. and JP Morgan Chase & Co. within financials and Pfizer, Inc. and Johnson & Johnson in health care were sold during the period. These changes did not have meaningful impact on the Trust’s overall positioning.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

Ÿ Relative to the S&P 500 ® Value Index, the Trust ended the period overweight in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors, reflecting the investment manager’s highest-conviction ideas. The Trust was underweight in the defensive areas of the market, such as the utilities and consumer staples sectors, due to their high valuations.

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.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the two-month period ended December 31, 2014, the Trust returned (1.65)% based on market price and 1.69% based on NAV. For the same period, the Russell 1000 ® Value Index returned 2.67%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ The largest contributor to relative performance for the period was the combination of stock selection in, and an underweight to, the energy sector. Notably, the Trust’s large-cap posture and limited exposure to the exploration & production industry assisted relative returns amid the sharp sell-off in crude oil. Stock selection in the industrials sector also added to relative performance as the Trust’s position in 3M Co., which is not held in the benchmark, outperformed on the strength of an upbeat 2015 outlook and an increase to its dividend. Stock selection in materials and an overweight in the consumer discretionary sector also contributed to relative performance.

Ÿ The largest detractor from relative returns was stock selection in information technology, notably the Trust’s position in the non-benchmark holding QUALCOMM, Inc. and the lack of a position in the benchmark holding Cisco Systems, Inc. Stock selection in the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors also hurt relative returns, as did a combination of stock selection and an underweight in the financials sector. Lastly,

stock selection in health care modestly dampened relative performance for the period.

Ÿ The Trust made use of options, principally written call options on individual stocks, in order to seek enhanced returns while continuing to participate in the performance of the underlying equities. The Trust’s option writing strategy detracted from performance during the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ Portfolio activity was driven by the merger of the BlackRock Dividend Income Trust into the BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust, which took place in December 2014. Relatively few active changes were made to the Trust during the reporting period. Notably, the Trust initiated a position in Kroger Co., the second-largest supermarket chain in the United States. The investment manager believes Kroger stands out from other grocers due to its scale, strong local market positions, broad private brand portfolio and its consistent history of positive same-store sales. Additionally, the Trust initiated a position in Becton, Dickinson & Co. and eliminated its position in Mattel, Inc.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

Ÿ As of the end of the period, the Trust’s largest sector allocations on an absolute basis were in financials, industrials, health care, consumer discretionary and energy. The Trust remained positioned in high-quality stocks with an emphasis on those that provide relative protection and growth of income.

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.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the two-month period ended December 31, 2014, the Trust returned (4.82)% based on market price and (0.27)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. For the same period, the benchmark MSCI All Country World Index posted a return of (0.29)%. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

Ÿ For financial reporting purposes, the values of Palantir Technologies, Inc. and Uber Technologies, Inc. were updated to incorporate information relative to those investments that became available after the report date. Accordingly, the NAV per share and total return performance presented herein are different than the information previously published on December 31, 2014.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ The most notable contributor to relative performance was stock selection in the health care sector, particularly holdings within the biotechnology segment, which outperformed on strong earnings. Stock selection in the telecommunication services (“telecom”) sector also contributed, particularly exposure to integrated telecom firms that benefited from healthy earnings and several upgrades of earnings forecasts by analysts.

Ÿ The primary detractor from relative performance was stock selection in the financials sector, particularly within the diversified real estate activities

sub-industry. Stock selection in the industrials sector also detracted, specifically exposure to the construction & engineering segment, which was negatively impacted by the significant decline in energy prices over the latter part of 2014.

Ÿ Also, during the period, the Trust made use of options, principally written call options on individual stocks, in order to seek enhanced returns while continuing to participate in the performance of the underlying equities. The Trust’s options writing strategy detracted from performance during the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ During the period, the Trust reduced its exposure to the financials and energy sectors due to interest rate trends and continued downward pressure on the price of oil, respectively. The proceeds were used to increase exposure to more tactical opportunities in information technology and telecom. Regionally, the Trust reduced its exposure to the developed Americas and Japan, and added to its holdings in developed Europe and emerging Asia.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

Ÿ Relative to the MSCI All Country World Index, the Trust ended the period overweight in the Europe and emerging Asia, and underweight in developed Americas. From a sector perspective, the Trust was most notably overweight in technology and healthcare, while the most significant underweights were in materials and industrials services.

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

Trust Summary as of December 31, 2014 BlackRock Health Sciences Trust

Trust Overview

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

The Board of the Trust approved a change of the fiscal year of the Trust from October 31st to December 31st.

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

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the two-month period ended December 31, 2014, the Trust returned 10.07% based on market price and 2.38% based on NAV. For the same period, the Russell 3000 ® Healthcare Index returned 2.53%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or distributions. The Trust’s premium to NAV, which widened during the two-month period, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ The Trust benefited from stock selection in the biotechnology industry during the period. Among the top contributors to performance were Alkermes PLC, which reported solid financial results and benefited from improving expectations regarding its new-product pipeline, and Receptos, Inc., which reported positive clinical data for its multiple sclerosis and ulcerative colitis drugs. Positions in Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and BioMarin Pharmaceutical, Inc. also performed well behind positive clinical developments for drugs focused on cancer and rare diseases, respectively. An underweight position in Gilead Sciences, Inc., which was hampered by increased competition for its Hepatitis-C drug, was an additional positive for relative performance.

Ÿ Stock selection in the health care providers & services industry was a modest detractor from relative performance. An underweight position in Express Scripts Holding Company detracted as the stock rebounded after reporting solid third quarter results. The Trust’s positions in the life

sciences tools industry also detracted from performance, as did its stock selection in the pharmaceuticals industry. In the latter group, the Trust was affected by the weakness in several of its non-U.S. positions, such as Roche Holding AG, Chugai Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., AstraZeneca PLC, Bayer AG and Novartis AG.

Ÿ The Trust made use of options, principally written call options on individual stocks, in order to seek enhanced returns while continuing to participate in the performance of the underlying equities. The Trust’s option writing strategy did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ During the two-month period, the Trust’s industry allocations generally stayed in line with their allocations at the prior fiscal year end on October 31, 2014. The Trust slightly increased its weighting in the biotechnology industry, while its weightings in the remaining health care sub-sectors (health care providers & services, health care equipment & supplies and pharmaceuticals) were unchanged. These allocations were the byproduct of the Trust’s bottom-up, fundamental investment process.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

Ÿ The Trust continues to focus on identifying innovative companies. Accordingly, its three largest allocations at period end were to the biotechnology, health care equipment & supplies and pharmaceuticals industries, where favorable trends in the innovation cycle have supported positive secular growth.

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

The Board of the Trust approved a change of the fiscal year of the Trust from October 31st to December 31st.

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

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the two-month period ended December 31, 2014, the Trust returned (5.77)% based on market price and (2.10)% based on NAV. For the same period, the MSCI All Country World Index ex-US returned (2.91)%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ Stock selection in the life & health insurance segment of the financials sector detracted from performance. In particular, shares of Delta Lloyd Group fell after the Dutch insurance company reported decreased premium income as well as weaker flows into its asset management business. The next largest detractor came from stock selection in the renewable electricity portion of the materials sector, as shares of the Spanish multinational Abengoa Yield plc fell. The Trust sold the position due to management concerns with respect to Abengoa Yield’s parent company.

Ÿ An underweight position in the oil, gas & consumable fuels segment of the energy sector was the primary contributor to relative performance, as these companies were impacted by falling oil prices. Weakness among these stocks may continue for the short term, but a recovery in energy prices over time is likely, and the Trust will consider adding to the segment once the current downward trend shows signs of reversing. Stock

selection in the airlines segment of the industrials sector was the next largest contributor to performance. In particular, shares of Ryanair Holdings plc rallied following a positive earnings revision, an analyst upgrade and a decline in fuel prices that boosted the outlook for the segment.

Ÿ Also, during the period, the Trust made use of options, principally written call options on individual stocks, in order to seek enhanced returns while continuing to participate in the performance of the underlying equities. The Trust’s option writing strategy did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ During the period, the Trust trimmed positions in the consumer discretionary and energy sectors, and used the proceeds to add exposure in the health care and financials sectors. Regionally, the Trust reduced its exposure to Japan, and used the proceeds to add to holdings in developed Europe and emerging Asia.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

Ÿ Relative to the MSCI All Country World Index, the Trust ended the period overweight in the United States and Europe, and underweight in Asia. From a sector perspective, the Trust was most notably overweight in consumer discretionary and staples, while the most significant underweights were in utilities and telecommunication services.

Trust Summary as of December 31, 2014 BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust

Trust Overview

BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust’s (BCX) (the “Trust”) primary investment objective is to seek high current income and current gains, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Trust will seek to achieve its investment objectives, under normal market conditions, by investing at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities issued by commodity or natural resources companies, derivatives with exposure to commodity or natural resources companies or investments in securities and derivatives linked to the underlying price movement of commodities or natural resources. While permitted, the Trust does not currently expect to invest in securities and derivatives linked to the underlying price movement of commodities or natural resources. The Trust seeks to pursue this goal primarily by investing in a portfolio of equity securities and utilizing an option overwriting strategy in an effort to seek total return performance and enhance distributions.

On July 30, 2014, the Boards of each of the Trust, BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust (“BCF”) and BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust (“BQR”) approved the reorganizations of BCF and BQR with and in to the Trust, with the Trust continuing as the surviving fund after the reorganizations. At a special meeting of shareholders on November 10, 2014, the shareholders of the Trust, BCF and BQR approved the reorganizations of BCF and BQR with and in to the Trust. The reorganization was completed on December 8, 2014.

The Board of the Trust approved a change of the fiscal year of the Trust from October 31st to December 31st.

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

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the two-month period ended December 31, 2014, the Trust returned (8.53)% based on market price and (5.20)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Natural Resources Funds category posted an average return of (6.82)% based on market price and (6.75)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or distributions. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ The agribusiness company Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. performed well during the period following the announcement of better-than-expected profits. The company’s earnings were supported by strong margins in its ethanol, seed-crushing and corn sweetener businesses. The company also announced that it expected to repurchase ten million shares on top of its existing 18 million share buyback program. This news was well received by the market, and the stock was a strong contributor to absolute performance during the period.

Ÿ The price of oil declined sharply during the period, weighing on the performance of mining companies with energy components to their businesses, such as BHP Billiton Ltd. and Freeport-McMoRan Inc. Falling oil prices also negatively impacted the Trust’s position in Canadian Oil Sands Ltd. Canadian Oil Sands Ltd. has relatively high operational costs, which meant that the stock was disproportionately impacted by the

weakness in oil. In addition, the market reacted negatively to the company’s release of its 2015 outlook. While the company anticipated increased production growth, its growth estimate was below expectations and it announced a cut to its dividend.

Ÿ The Trust made use of options, principally written call options on individual stocks, in order to seek enhanced returns while continuing to participate in the performance of the underlying equities. The Trust’s option writing strategy did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ Within the mining sector, the Trust reduced its exposure to producers of bulk commodities in favor of base metal companies, which reflected the widening gap between the fundamentals of the two commodity groups. The Trust added to MMC Norilsk Nickel within its base metals allocation. The company has benefited from the weakening Russian ruble given that the majority of its costs are based in the currency.

Ÿ In the agriculture space, the Trust rotated its fertilizer exposure by initiating a position in the nitrogen fertilizer producer Yara International ASA.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

Ÿ The energy sector was the Trust’s largest allocation as of period end, followed by agriculture-related and metals & mining stocks, respectively. This positioning reflects the relative outlooks and valuations for each of these segments.

Trust Summary as of December 31, 2014 BlackRock Utility and Infrastructure Trust

Trust Overview

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

The Board of the Trust approved a change of the fiscal year of the Trust from October 31st to December 31st.

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

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

Ÿ For the two-month period ended December 31, 2014, the Trust returned 4.82% based on market price and 1.50% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Utility Funds category posted an average return of 0.63% based on market price and (0.32)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Ÿ Broadly, U.S. utilities continued to benefit from falling U.S. interest rates, investors’ search for yield and strong power demand. These factors led stocks higher over the two-month period. The Trust’s exposure to master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) within the energy sector was the largest contributor to performance, led by Dominion Midstream Partners LP and Shell Midstream Partners LP. Exposure to the electric utilities and multi- utilities industries also added to absolute returns.

Ÿ Conversely, the largest detractor from performance was the Trust’s exposure to the independent power and renewable energy industry. The industry traded lower given the steep decline in crude oil prices and the potential impact this may have on the cost effectiveness of renewable energy sources. Notable detractors in the space include NRG Energy, Inc., Pattern Energy Group, Inc. and Enel Green Power SpA. Stock selection in both the construction & engineering and diversified telecommunication services industries had a marginally negative impact on returns.

Ÿ Also, during the period, the Trust made use of options, principally written call options on individual stocks, in order to seek enhanced returns while continuing to participate in the performance of the underlying equities. The Trust’s option writing strategy did not have a material impact on performance for the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Ÿ During the two-month period, the Trust increased its electric utilities exposure by adding to existing positions in PPL Corp. and Pinnacle West Capital Corp. Additionally, multi-utilities exposure was increased by initiating a position in Consolidated Edison, Inc. A pair of Japanese transportation infrastructure companies were added to the portfolio, Japan Airport Terminal Co. Ltd. and East Japan Railway Co. Conversely, MLP exposure was selectively reduced during the period, by trimming positions in Enterprise Products Partners LP, Dominion Midstream Partners LP and Magellan Midstream Partners LP.

Describe Trust positioning at period end.

Ÿ At period end, the utilities sector accounted for approximately one-half of the Trust’s assets, with holdings concentrated in the U.S. electric and multi-utilities industries. The Trust’s second largest exposure was to MLPs, based on attractive fundamentals and healthy dividend yields in the space. The managers remained mindful of the risks presented by the potential for rising U.S. interest rates and changes in the local environments in which the companies held by the Trust operate. As a result, the Trust was positioned with an eye towards diversification across multiple geographic and regulatory environments.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Trusts may invest in various derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, index and/or market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to manage market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments may give rise to a form of economic leverage. Derivative financial instruments also involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the derivative

financial instrument. The Trusts’ ability to use a derivative financial instrument successfully depends on the investment advisor’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may limit the amount of appreciation a Trust can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to shareholders. The Trusts’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

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

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

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

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

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

See Notes to Financial Statements.

Schedule of Investments (continued) BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. (CII)

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

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

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

40 ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014

Schedule of Investments (continued) BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust (BDJ)

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

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

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

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

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

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

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

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

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

1 Increase in unobservable input may result in a significant increase to value, while a decrease in the unobservable input may result in a significant decrease to value.

2 Decrease in unobservable input may result in a significant increase to value, while an increase in the unobservable input may result in a significant decrease to value.

3 For the period ended December 31, 2014, the valuation technique for certain investments classified as preferred stocks changed to a Probability-Weighted Expected Return Model. The investment was previously valued utilizing a market comparable company approach. A Probability-Weighted Expected Return Model was considered to be a more relevant measure of fair value for this investment which leverages the most recent equity raise pre-money valuation.

4 Amount is stated in billions.

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value

measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

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

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

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

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

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

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

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

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

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

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

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

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

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

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

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

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Ÿ Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

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

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

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

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instrument, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

104 ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization:

The following are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as closed-end management investment companies and are referred to herein individually as a “Trust” and collectively as the “Trusts”:

Fund Name — BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust BGR Organized — Delaware Non-diversified
BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. CII Maryland Diversified
BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust BDJ Delaware Diversified
BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust BOE Delaware Diversified
BlackRock Health Sciences Trust BME Delaware Non-diversified
BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust BGY Delaware Non-diversified
BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust BCX Delaware Non-diversified
BlackRock Science and Technology Trust BST Delaware Non-diversified
BlackRock Utility and Infrastructure Trust BUI Delaware Non-diversified

The Board of Directors and Board of Trustees of the Trusts are collectively referred to throughout this report as the “Board of Trustees” or the “Board”, and the directors/trustees thereof are collectively referred to throughout this report as “Trustees.” The Trusts determine and make available for publication the NAVs of their shares on a daily basis.

Prior to commencement of operations on October 30, 2014, BST had no operations other than those relating to organizational matters and the sale of 7,592 Common Shares on October 30, 2014 to BlackRock HoldCo. 2, Inc. for $145,007. Investment operations for BST commenced on October 30, 2014.

The Trusts, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) or its affiliates, is included in a complex of closed-end funds referred to as the Closed-End Complex.

Reorganizations: The Board of BDJ, the Board and shareholders of BCX and the Board and shareholders of each of BlackRock Dividend Income Trust (BQY), BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust (BQR) and BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust (BCF) (individually a “Target Trust” and collectively the “Target Trusts”) approved separate plans of reorganization pursuant to which BDJ would acquire substantially all of the assets and assume substantially all of the liabilities of BQY in exchange for an equal aggregate value of newly issued shares of BDJ and BCX would acquire substantially all of the assets and assume substantially all of the liabilities of BQR and BCF in exchange for an equal aggregate value of newly issued shares of BCX in separate merger transactions.

Each shareholder of BQY received shares of BDJ in an amount equal to the aggregate NAV of such shareholder’s shares, as determined at the close of business on December 5, 2014 less the costs of the Target Trust’s reorganization. Cash was distributed for any fractional shares.

Each shareholder of BQR and BCF received shares of BCX in an amount equal to the aggregate NAV of such shareholder’s shares, as determined at the close of business on December 5, 2014 less the costs of the Target Trust’s reorganization. Cash was distributed for any fractional shares.

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

Target Trust Shares Prior to Reorganizations Conversion Ratio Shares of BDJ
BQY 6,033,028 1.57393059 9,495,566
Target Trusts Shares Prior to Reorganizations Conversion Ratio Shares of BCX
BQR 12,564,457 0.73620796 9,250,050
BCF 57,173,280 0.75619994 43,234,424

ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014 105

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Each Target Trust’s net assets and composition of net assets on December 5, 2014, the date of the reorganization, were as follows:

| Target Trusts | Paid-In Capital | Distributions in Excess of
Net Investment Income | | Realized Loss | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | Net Assets |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| BQY | $ 82,012,845 | $ 74,388 | | $ (4,394,868 | ) | $ 10,788,969 | $ 88,481,334 |
| Target Trusts | Paid-In Capital | Distributions in Excess of Net Investment Income | | Realized Loss | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | Net Assets |
| BQR | $ 163,163,281 | $ — | | $ (64,418,338 | ) | $ 11,883,961 | $ 110,628,904 |
| BCF | $ 581,405,775 | $ (315,467 | ) | $ (112,655,107 | ) | $ 48,639,598 | $ 517,074,799 |

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

The net assets of BDJ and BCX before the acquisitions were $1,672,452,880 and $557,033,644, respectively.

The aggregate net assets of BDJ and BCX immediately after the acquisitions amounted to $1,760,934,213 and $1,184,737,348, respectively. Each Target Trust’s fair value and cost of investments prior to the reorganizations were as follows:

Target Trust Fair Value of Investments Cost of Investments
BQY $ 88,510,430 $ 77,716,510
Target Trust Fair Value of Investments Cost of Investments
BQR $ 110,216,946 $ 98,315,757
BCF $ 517,114,717 $ 468,473,614

The purpose of these transactions was to combine five funds managed by the Manager with the same or substantially similar (but not identical) investment objectives, investment policies, strategies, risks and restrictions into two funds. Each reorganization was a tax-free event and was effective on December 8, 2014.

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on November 1, 2014 the beginning of the fiscal reporting period of BDJ, the pro forma results of operations for the period ended, December 31, 2014, are as follows:

Ÿ Net investment income/loss: $6,739,981

Ÿ Net realized and change in unrealized gain/loss on investments: $20,388,852

Ÿ Net increase in net assets resulting from operations: $27,128,833

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on December 8, 2014 the beginning of the fiscal reporting period of BCX, the pro forma results of operations for the period ended, December 31, 2014, are as follows:

Ÿ Net investment income/loss: $3,796,955

Ÿ Net realized and change in unrealized gain/loss on investments: $(56,054,826)

Ÿ Net increase in net assets resulting from operations: $(52,257,871)

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of BQY, BQR and BCF that have been included in BDJ and BCX Statement of Operations since December 8, 2014.

106 ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Reorganization costs incurred by BDJ and BCX in connection with their respective reorganizations were expensed by BCX and BDJ. The Manager reimbursed BDJ in the amount of $148,630 and BCX in the amount of $522,264, which are shown as reorganization costs reimbursed by Manager in the Statements of Operations.

Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements of BCX include the accounts of BlackRock Cayman Resources & Commodities Strategy Fund, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of BCX and primarily invests in commodity-related instruments. The Subsidiary enables BCX to hold these commodity-related instruments and satisfy regulated investment company tax requirements. BCX may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. As of December 31, 2014, the Subsidiary did not hold any assets. Intercompany accounts and transactions, if any, have been eliminated. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment policies and restrictions that apply to BCX, except that the Subsidiary may invest without limitation in commodity-related instruments.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

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

Valuation: The Trusts’ investments are valued at fair value as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Trusts would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Trusts determine the fair values of their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) is the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of the pricing function for the Trusts for all financial instruments.

Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the official close each day, if available. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the official close 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 may be valued at the last available bid. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at the NAV each business day.

Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available.

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

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

In the event that the application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Investments”). When determining the price for Fair Value Investments, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that each Trust might reasonably expect to receive or pay from the current sale or purchase of that asset or liability in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, deems relevant consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, which include the market approach, income approach and/or in the case of recent investments, the cost approach, as appropriate. The market approach generally

ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014 107

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

consists of using comparable market transactions. The income approach generally is used to discount future cash flows to present value and is adjusted for liquidity as appropriate. These factors include but are not limited to: (i) attributes specific to the investment or asset; (ii) the principal market for the investment or asset; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment or asset; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment or asset, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts and/or default rates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trusts’ pricing vendors, regular reviews of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices and large movements in market values and reviews of any market related activity. The pricing of all Fair Value Investments is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.

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

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

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

Segregation and Collateralization: In cases where a Trust enters into certain investments (e.g., options written and forward foreign currency exchange contracts), that would be “senior securities” for 1940 Act purposes, such Trust may segregate or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount of a Trust’s future obligations under such investments or borrowings. Doing so allows the investment to be excluded from treatment as a “senior security.” Furthermore, if required by an exchange or counterparty agreement, each Trust may be required to deliver/deposit cash and/or securities to/with an exchange, or broker-dealer or custodian as collateral for certain investments or obligations.

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

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

On June 5, 2014, the Board approved a change to the frequency of regular Trust distributions from quarterly to monthly. As a result of the change, beginning in August 2014 (with respect to BOE and BUI) or September 2014 (with respect to BGR, CII, BDJ, BME, BGY, and BCX) shareholders of each Trust began receiving distributions on a monthly basis.

108 ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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

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

Net income and realized gains from investments held by the Subsidiary are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. Accordingly, the net investment income (loss) and realized gains (losses) reported in the Trust’s financial statements presented under U.S. GAAP for such investments held by the Subsidiary may differ significantly from distributions. As such, any net gain will pass through to the Trust as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. If a net loss is realized by the Subsidiary in any taxable year, the loss will generally not be available to offset the Trust’s ordinary income and/or capital gains for that year.

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

The Plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of each Trust. Deferred compensation liabilities are included in officer’s and trustees fees payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will remain as a liability of the Trusts until such amounts are distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Recent Accounting Standard: In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance to improve the financial reporting of reverse repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The guidance will require expanded disclosure for entities that enter into reverse repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. It is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact, if any, of this guidance on the Trusts’ financial statement disclosures.

Other: Expenses directly related to a Trust are charged to that Trust. Other operating expenses shared by several Trusts are prorated among those Trusts on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.

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

3. Securities and Other Investments:

Preferred Stock: The Trusts may invest in preferred stock. 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 convertible preferred stock generally also reflects some element of conversion value. Because preferred stock is junior to debt securities and other obligations 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.

Securities Lending: Each Trust may lend its securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Trusts collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by each Trust is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Trust and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Trust on the next business day. During the term of the loan,

ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014 109

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

the Trust is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral are shown separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a component of investments at value — unaffiliated, and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral invested by the securities lending agent, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), if any, is disclosed in the Schedules of Investments.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Trusts under Master Securities Lending Agreements (each an “MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Trust, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. When the value of the collateral is greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, the lender is left with net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Trusts can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.

As of December 31, 2014, the following table is a summary of the Trusts’ securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under an MSLA:

| CII — Counterparty | Securities Loaned at Value | Cash
Collateral Received 1 | Net Amount | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. | $ 641,550 | $ (641,550 | ) | — |

1 Collateral with a value of $673,750, $1,401,820, 870,139 and $2,373,800 has been received in connection with securities lending agreements for CII, BOE, BGY and BCX, respectively. Excess of collateral received from the individual counterparty is not shown for financial reporting purposes.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Trusts benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BIM. BIM’s indemnity allows for full replacement of the securities lent if the collateral received does not cover the value on the securities loaned in the event of borrower default. The Trusts could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.

4. Derivative Financial Instruments:

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

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

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

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

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

A Trust’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by such Trust.

For OTC options purchased, each Trust bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by such Trust should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Trusts do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Trusts, and not, the counterparty to perform.

With exchange traded options purchased, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Trusts since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, a Trust does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Trusts.

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

Collateral Requirements: For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Trust and the counterparty.

Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Trust and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Trust, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (typically either $250,000 or $500,000) before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of business of the Trusts. Any additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Trusts on the next business day. Typically, the Trusts and counterparties are not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to a Trust from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, a Trust bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. Likewise, to the extent the Trust has delivered collateral to a counterparty and stands ready to perform under the terms of its agreement with such counterparty, the Trust bears the risk of loss from a counterparty in the amount of the value of the collateral in the event the counterparty fails to return such collateral.

5. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder and an affiliate, for 1940 Act purposes, of BlackRock.

Each Trust entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Trusts’ 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 Trust’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services to the operations of each Trust. For such services, each Trust pays the Manager a monthly fee at the following annual rates:

Average weekly value of each Trust’s net assets:
BGR 1.20 %
BDJ 0.80 %
BOE 1.00 %
BME 1.00 %
Average daily value of each Trust’s net assets:
CII 0.85 %
BGY 1.00 %
BCX 1.00 %
BST 1.00 %
BUI 1.00 %

Prior to December 8, 2014, the monthly fee at an annual rate as a percentage of average weekly net assets of BDJ was 0.81% and as a percentage of average daily net assets of BCX was 1.20%.

The Manager has agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fees on BST as a percentage of its average daily net assets as follows:

0.20 % October 31, 2018
0.15 % October 31, 2019
0.10 % October 31, 2020
0.05 % October 31, 2021

The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive 0.05% of the investment advisory fees on BGY as a percentage of its average daily net assets.

Prior to December 8, 2014, the Manager had agreed to waive 0.20% of the investment advisory fees on BCX as a percentage of its average daily net assets. Subsequent to December 8, 2014, the waiver was discontinued.

The Manager provides investment management and other services to the Subsidiary. The Manager does not receive separate compensation from the Subsidiary for providing investment management or administrative services. However, BCX pays the Manager based on the Trust’s net assets which includes the assets of the Subsidiary.

ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014 119

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees each Trust pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds. However, the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid in connection with each Trust’s investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. These amounts are included in fees waived by Manager in the Statements of Operations. For the period ended December 31, 2014, the amounts waived were as follows:

BGR $
CII $ 456
BDJ $ 4,544
BOE $ 1,424
BME $ 510
BGY $ 2,038
BCX $ 2,483
BST $ 11,291
BUI $ 798

The Manager entered into separate sub-advisory agreements with BlackRock International Limited (“BIL”), an affiliate of the Manager, to serve as sub-advisor for BGR and BCX. The Manager pays BIL for services it provides to a Trust, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Trust to the Manager. Prior to July 1, 2014, the Manager entered into separate sub-advisory agreements with BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”) for BGR, CII, BDJ and BUI, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”) for CII and BUI and BlackRock Capital Management, Inc. (“BCM”) for BGY and BCX, each an affiliate of the Manager. Each sub-advisor received for services it provides to a Trust a monthly fee from the Manager at an annual rate equal to a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by the Trust to the Manager. Effective July 1, 2014, each sub-advisory agreement between the Manager and BFM, BIM and BCM, with respect to each Trust, expired.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BIM, an affiliate of the Manager, to serve as securities lending agent for the Trusts, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BIM bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. The Trusts are responsible for expenses in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan (the “collateral investment expenses”). The cash collateral is invested in a private investment company managed by the Manager or its affiliates. However, BIM has agreed to cap the collateral investment expenses of the private investment company to an annual rate of 0.04%. The investment advisor to the private investment company will not charge any advisory fees with respect to shares purchased by the Trusts.

Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment expenses. Each Trust retains a portion of securities lending income and remits a remaining portion to BIM as compensation for its services as securities lending agent. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement effective February 1, 2014, BIM may lend securities only when the difference between the borrower rebate rate and the risk free rate exceeds a certain level (such securities, the “specials only securities”).

Pursuant to such agreement, each Trust retains 80% of securities lending income. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income earned across the Closed-End Complex in a calendar year exceeds the breakpoint dollar threshold applicable in the given year as set forth in the securities lending agreement, each Trust, pursuant to the securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of the calendar year securities lending income in an amount equal to 85% of securities lending income. Prior to February 1, 2014, each Trust retained 65% of securities lending income and paid a fee to BIM equal to 35% of such income.

The share of securities lending income earned by each Trust is shown as securities lending — affiliated — net in the Statements of Operations. For the period ended December 31, 2014, each Trust paid BIM the following amounts for securities lending agent services:

CII $
BOE $ 2,681
BME $ 63
BGY $ 826
BCX $ 8,294

The Manager reimbursed each Trust, with the exception of BST, for a portion of the costs associated with a fiscal year end change. These amounts are shown as expenses reimbursed by Manager in the Statements of Operations.

Certain officers and/or trustees of the Trusts are officers and/or trustees of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Trusts reimburse the Manager for a portion of the compensation paid to the Trusts’ Chief Compliance Officer, which is included in officer and trustees in the Statements of Operations.

120 ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The Trusts may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is due solely to having a common investment advisor, common officers, or common trustees. For the period ended December 31, 2014, the purchase and sale transactions with an affiliated fund in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act were as follows:

BME Purchases — $ 1,813,396 —

6. Purchases and Sales:

For the period ended December 31, 2014, purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, were as follows:

Purchases Sales

BST $ 395,834,367 $ 20,165,463
BUI $ 7,259,725 $ 14,644,234

7. Income Tax Information:

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

The Trusts file U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on each Trust’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the period ended December 31, 2014 and each of the four years ended October 31, 2014 with the exception of BCX, BST and BUI. The statutes of limitations on BCX’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the period ended December 31, 2014, the three years ended October 31, 2014 and the period ended October 31, 2011. The statutes of limitations on BUI’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for period ended December 31, 2014, the two years ended October 31, 2014 and the period ended October 31, 2012. The statutes of limitations on BST’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the period ended December 31, 2014. The statute of limitations on each Trust’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Trusts’ facts and circumstances and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. As of December 31, 2014, the following permanent differences attributable to foreign currency transactions, the sale of stock of passive foreign investment companies, net operating losses, non-deductible expenses, income recognized from investments in partnerships, limitations on the utilization of capital loss carryforwards and the accounting for real estate investment trusts were reclassified to the following accounts:

8. Principal Risks:

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

As of December 31, 2014, the Trusts listed below invested a significant portion of their assets in securities in the following sectors:

Utilities BUI
Energy BGR, BCX, BUI
Health Care BME
Financials CII, BDJ, BGY
Information Technology CII, BST
Materials BCX
Consumer Discretionary CII

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

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

ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014 123

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

reporting standards and practices as used in the U.S. Foreign securities markets may also be less liquid, more volatile, and less subject to governmental supervision not typically associated with investing in United States securities. Please see the Schedule of Investments for concentrations in specific countries.

As of December 31, 2014, the Trusts’ investments listed below had the following industry classifications:

Industry — Banks 9 % 8 %
Pharmaceuticals 8 % 14 %
Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels 7 % 6 %
Software 7 % 1 %
Internet Software & Services 5 % 6 %
Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment 3 % 6 %
Machinery 2 % 6 %
  • All other industries held were each less than 5%.

CII is authorized to issue 200 million shares of $0.10 par value shares, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. The Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued Common Shares to Preferred Shares without approval of Common Shareholders.

Prior to commencement of operations, organization costs associated with the establishment of BST were expensed by BST. Offering costs incurred in connection with the Trust’s offering of Common Shares have been charged against the proceeds from the initial Common Share offering in the amount of $795,000.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments of BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust, BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc., BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust, BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust, BlackRock Health Sciences Trust, BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust, BlackRock Science and Technology Trust, and BlackRock Utility and Infrastructure Trust, as of December 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the period then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the periods presented, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented (as to BlackRock Science and Technology Trust, for the period from commencement of operations through December 31, 2014). We have also audited the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments of BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust (collectively with BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust, BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc., BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust, BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust, BlackRock Health Sciences Trust, BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust, BlackRock Science and Technology Trust, and BlackRock Utility and Infrastructure Trust, the “Trusts”), as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the period then ended, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the periods presented, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trusts’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the 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 reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trusts’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust, BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc., BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust, BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust, BlackRock Health Sciences Trust, BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust, BlackRock Science and Technology Trust, and BlackRock Utility and Infrastructure Trust as of December 31, 2014, the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the periods presented, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, and the consolidated financial position of BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust as of December 31, 2014, the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the period then ended, the consolidated changes in its net assets for each of the periods presented, and its consolidated financial highlights in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Fee Waiver Letter

The Board of Trustees (the “Board,” the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of BlackRock Science and Technology Trust (the “Trust”) met on September 5, 2014 to consider the approval of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and BlackRock Advisors, LLC, the Trust’s investment advisor (the “Manager”). The Board also considered the approval of the Investment Advisory Fee Waiver letter (the “Fee Waiver Letter”) between the Trust and the Manager. The Manager is referred to herein as “BlackRock.” The Advisory Agreement and the Fee Waiver Letter are referred to herein as the “Agreements.”

Activities and Composition of the Board

At the time the Board considered the Agreements on September 5, 2014, the Board consisted of eleven individuals, six of whom were not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”), and an additional three of whom would be Independent Board Members after the completion of the Trust’s initial public offering. The Board Members are responsible for the oversight of the operations of the Trust and perform the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chairman of the Board is an Independent Board Member. The Board has established six standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight Committee, an Executive Committee and a Leverage Committee, each of which is currently chaired by an Independent Board Member and composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Executive Committee and the Leverage Committee, each of which also has one interested Board Member).

The Agreements

Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Board is required to consider the initial approval of the Agreements. In connection with this process, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the services to be provided to the Trust by BlackRock, its personnel and its affiliates, including, applicable, investment management, administrative and shareholder services; oversight of fund service providers; marketing services; risk oversight; compliance and assistance in meeting applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements

The Approval Process: Prior to the September 5, 2014 meeting, the Board received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The materials provided in connection with the September 5, 2014 meeting included information regarding (i) the investment objectives and policies of the Trust; (ii) the team of investment advisory personnel assigned to the Trust; (iii) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on the Trust’s management fee and estimated total operating expenses as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper (“Expense Peers”) and a customized peer group selected by BlackRock; and (iv) certain anticipated direct and indirect “fallout” benefits to BlackRock from its relationship with the Trust. Periodically, the Board Members, in connection with their duties as trustees or directors of other funds in the BlackRock family of closed-end funds, have received other information including general information regarding BlackRock’s management of such funds (including the investment performance of BlackRock portfolio management in general), BlackRock’s management of relationships with service providers to such funds, resources devoted to compliance with such funds’ investment objectives and policies, the structure and expertise of BlackRock and BlackRock’s parent companies, information on the profits realized by BlackRock and its affiliates as a result of its relationships with such funds, general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment management fees charged to other clients, such as institutional clients and open-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as applicable, BlackRock’s policies and procedures in respect of execution of portfolio transactions, the existence, impact and sharing of potential economies of scale and other matters.

At the in person meeting held on September 5, 2014, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements and unanimously approved the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Trust and unanimously approved the Fee Waiver Letter between the Manager and the Trust. In approving the Agreements, the Board considered: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of BlackRock portfolio management in general; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Trust; (d) the Trust’s estimated costs to investors compared to the costs of Expense Peers; (e) economies of scale; (f) fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Trust; and (g) other factors deemed relevant by the Board Members.

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

128 ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Fee Waiver Letter (continued)

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by BlackRock: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by BlackRock to the Trust, including investment advisory services. The Board met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment operations, including senior investment officers. The Board also reviewed the materials provided by the Trust’s portfolio management team discussing the Trust’s investment objectives, strategies and outlook.

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

In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the quality of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services to be provided to the Trust. BlackRock and its affiliates will provide the Trust with certain services (in addition to any such services provided to the Trust by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Trust. In particular, BlackRock and its affiliates will provide the Trust with the following administrative services including, among others: (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) preparing communications with analysts to support secondary market trading of the Trust; (iii) oversight of daily accounting and pricing; (iv) preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; (v) overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; (vi) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (vii) providing legal and compliance support; and (viii) performing other administrative functions necessary for the operation of the Trust, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements and call center services. The Board reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, shareholder services, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and BlackRock: In their capacity as members of the boards of directors or trustees of certain other BlackRock-advised funds, the Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, previously received and considered information about BlackRock’s investment performance for other BlackRock-advised funds. The Board, however, could not consider the performance history of the Trust because the Trust was newly organized and had not yet commenced operations as of the meeting.

C. Consideration of the Advisory/Management Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Trust: The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed five sub-categories of fees and expenses for the Trust compared with the other funds in its Lipper expense group: (i) contractual management fees; (ii) total expenses, including investment-related expenses and taxes; (iii) total expenses, excluding investment-related expenses and taxes; (iv) management fees based on common shares; and (v) non-management expenses. The Board also considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock and its affiliates to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, as applicable, including institutional accounts.

The Board discussed that the Trust’s contractual management fee was proposed to be 1% of managed assets. The Board then acknowledged that, pursuant to the Fee Waiver Letter, the Manager had offered to contractually waive a portion of the Trust’s management fee through 2021 as follows: waive 0.20% for 2014 through 2018, 0.15% in 2019, 0.10% in 2020 and 0.05% in 2021, with no waiver beginning in 2022. The Board noted that, relative to the other funds in its Lipper expense group, the Trust fell in the first quartile for all fees where adequate Lipper information was provided. The Board recognized that, within contractual management fees and management fees based on common shares, two Lipper-selected comparison funds did not have a stated contractual management fee and that, in both of these categories, the Trust had the lowest management fee of the funds that have stated management fees. The Board also reviewed a separate peer group of five other funds selected by BlackRock, based on similarity of strategy or sector equity representation. The Board noted that the Trust had the lowest net total expenses and lowest gross total expenses of this peer group, that the Trust’s net management fees would be the lowest or second-lowest of this peer group (depending on the amount of the year’s waiver) and that the Trust’s gross management fee was the second-lowest of this peer group.

The Board Members noted that they had previously received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition in connection with their duties as trustees or directors of other funds in the BlackRock family of closed-end funds. The Board Members also noted that they had previously received information on BlackRock’s costs of services and profitability with respect to the other funds the Board currently oversees, as described above, including funds pursuing equity-based and options strategies similar to those proposed for the Trust, for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the prior two years. The Board acknowledged the Manager’s representation that it expected the Trust’s costs of services and profitability to be broadly in line with those of other similar funds managed by the Manager. The Board Members then noted their previous review of BlackRock’s costs of services and profitability with respect to certain other fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Board Members considered their prior review of BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of

ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014 129

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Fee Waiver Letter (continued)

allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds managed, precision of expense allocations and business mix. The Board noted that, as a result, calculating and comparing profitability at individual fund levels is difficult.

The Board noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. The Board Members then noted their previous review, as described above, of BlackRock’s overall operating margin, in general, compared to that of certain other publicly-traded asset management firms. The Board Members reviewed their previous consideration of the differences between BlackRock and these other firms, including the contribution of technology at BlackRock, BlackRock’s expense management, and the relative product mix.

The Board also considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Advisory Agreement and to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Board. The Board further considered factors including but not limited to BlackRock’s commitment of time, assumption of risk and liability profile in servicing the Trust in contrast to what is required of BlackRock with respect to other products with similar investment objectives across the open-end fund, ETF, closed-end fund and institutional account product channels, as applicable.

Following consideration of this information, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, concluded that the fees to be paid pursuant to the Agreements were fair and reasonable in light of the services to be provided.

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

Based on the Board’s review and consideration of the issue, the Board concluded that most closed-end funds do not have fund level breakpoints because closed-end funds generally do not experience substantial growth after the initial public offering. They are typically priced at scale at a fund’s inception.

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

In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board also received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar practices, including reports from BlackRock, which included information on brokerage commissions, and trade execution practices for BlackRock closed-end funds, throughout the year.

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

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

130 ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Fee Waiver Letter (concluded)

The Board, including all of the Independent Board Members, concluded that the ancillary benefits that BlackRock and its affiliates could receive with regard to providing investment advisory and other services to the Trust were consistent with those generally available to other fund sponsors.

Conclusion

Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Trust and its shareholders. In arriving at its decision to approve the Advisory Agreement, the 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 independent legal counsel in making this determination.

ANNUAL REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2014 131

Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plans

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

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

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

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

Each Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the Reinvestment Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Reinvestment Plan; however, each Trust reserves the right to amend the Reinvestment Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Participants that request a sale of shares are subject to a $0.02 per share sold brokerage commission. All correspondence concerning the Reinvestment Plan should be directed to Computershare Trust Company, N.A. through the internet at http://www.computershare.com/blackrock, or in writing to Computershare, P.O. Box 30170, College Station, TX 77842-3170, Telephone: (800) 699-1236. Overnight correspondence should be directed to the Reinvestment Plan Agent at Computershare, 211 Quality Circle, Suite 210, College Station, TX 77845.

The Trusts’ current accumulated but undistributed net investment income, if any, is disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, which comprises part of the financial information included in this report.

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. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors. |

4 The registrant changed its fiscal year end from October to December in 2014 so this fiscal year consists of the two months ended December 31, 2014.

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

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

3

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 the Committee Chairman the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.

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

(f) Not Applicable

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

Entity Name Current Fiscal Year End 12/31/2014 1 Previous Fiscal Year End 10/31/2014
BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. $4,000 $14,850

1 The registrant changed its fiscal year end from October to December in 2014 so this fiscal year consists of two months ended December 31, 2014.

Additionally, SSAE 16 Review (Formerly, SAS No. 70) fees for the current and previous fiscal years of $2,555,000 and $2,555,000, respectively, were billed by D&T to the Investment Adviser.

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

Item 5 – Audit Committee of Listed Registrants

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

(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’s portfolio securities to the Investment Adviser pursuant to the Investment Adviser’s proxy voting guidelines. Under these guidelines, the Investment Adviser will vote proxies related to Fund securities in the best interests of the Fund and its stockholders. From time to time, a vote may present a conflict between the interests of the Fund’s stockholders, on the one hand, and those of the Investment Adviser, or any affiliated person of the Fund or the Investment Adviser, on the other. In such event, provided that the Investment Adviser’s Equity Investment Policy Oversight Committee, or a sub-committee thereof (the “Oversight Committee”) is aware of the real or potential conflict or material non-routine matter and if the Oversight Committee does not reasonably believe it is able to follow its general voting guidelines (or if the particular proxy matter is not addressed in the guidelines) and vote impartially, the Oversight Committee may retain an independent fiduciary to advise the Oversight Committee on how to vote or to cast votes on behalf of the Investment Adviser’s clients. If the Investment Adviser determines not to retain an independent fiduciary, or does not desire to follow the advice of such independent fiduciary, the Oversight Committee shall determine how to vote the proxy after consulting with the Investment Adviser’s Portfolio Management Group and/or the Investment Adviser’s Legal and Compliance Department and concluding that the vote cast is in its client’s best interest notwithstanding the conflict. A copy of the Fund’s Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures are attached as Exhibit 99.PROXYPOL. Information on how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge, (i) at www.blackrock.com and (ii) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov .

BlackRock has adopted policies and procedures that address the allocation of investment opportunities, execution of portfolio transactions, personal trading by employees and other potential conflicts of interest that are designed to ensure that all client accounts are treated equitably over time. Nevertheless, BlackRock furnishes investment management and advisory services to numerous clients in addition to the Fund, and BlackRock may, consistent with applicable law, make investment recommendations to other clients or accounts (including accounts which are hedge funds or have performance or higher fees paid to BlackRock, or in which portfolio managers have a personal interest in the receipt of such fees), which may be the same as or different from those made to the Fund. In addition, BlackRock, Inc., its affiliates and significant shareholders and any officer, director, shareholder or employee may or may not have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale BlackRock recommends to the Fund. BlackRock, Inc., or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders, or any officer, director, shareholder, employee or any member of their families may take different actions than those recommended to the Fund by BlackRock with respect to the same securities. Moreover, BlackRock may refrain from rendering any advice or services concerning securities of companies of which any of BlackRock, Inc.’s (or its affiliates’ or significant shareholders’) officers, directors or employees are directors or officers, or companies as to which BlackRock, Inc. or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders or the officers, directors and employees of any of them has any substantial economic interest or possesses material non-public information. Certain portfolio managers also may manage accounts whose investment strategies may at times be opposed to the strategy utilized for a fund. It should also be noted that a portfolio manager may be managing hedge fund and/or long only accounts, or may be part of a team managing hedge fund and/or long only accounts, subject to incentive fees. Such portfolio manager may therefore be entitled to receive a portion of any incentive fees earned on such accounts. Currently, the portfolio managers on this Fund are not entitled to receive a portion of incentive fees of other accounts.

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

Portfolio Manager Compensation Overview

The discussion below describes the portfolio managers’ compensation as of December 31, 2014.

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

Base compensation. Generally, portfolio managers receive base compensation based on their position with the firm.

Discretionary Incentive Compensation

Mr. Stournaras

Generally, discretionary incentive compensation for Fundamental Equity portfolio managers is based on a formulaic compensation program. BlackRock’s formulaic portfolio manager compensation program is based on team revenue and pre-tax investment performance relative to appropriate competitors or benchmarks over 1-, 3- and 5-year performance periods, as applicable. In most cases, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Funds or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. BlackRock’s Head of Alpha Strategies determine the benchmarks or rankings against which the performance of funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio management team is compared and the period of time over which performance is evaluated. With respect to the portfolio manager, such benchmarks for the Fund and other accounts are: Lipper Large-Cap Core, Lipper Large-Cap Growth and Lipper Large-Cap Value Fund Classifications.

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

Discretionary Incentive Compensation

7

Messrs. Accettella and 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 or strategies under management or supervision by that portfolio manager, and/or the individual’s performance and contribution to the overall performance of these portfolios and BlackRock. Among other things, BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers make a subjective determination with respect to each portfolio manager’s compensation based on the performance of the Funds, other accounts or strategies managed by each portfolio manager. Performance is generally measured on a pre-tax basis over various time periods including 1-, 3- and 5- year periods, as applicable. The performance of some Funds, other accounts or strategies may not be measured against a specific benchmark.

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

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards — From time to time long-term incentive equity awards are granted to certain key employees to aid in retention, align their interests with long-term shareholder interests and motivate performance. Equity awards are generally granted in the form of BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units that, once vested, settle in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Messrs. Stournaras, McClements and Accettella do not have unvested long-term incentive awards.

Deferred Compensation Program — A portion of the compensation paid to eligible United States-based BlackRock employees may be voluntarily deferred at their election for defined periods of time into an account that tracks the performance of certain of the firm’s investment products. Any portfolio manager who is either a managing director or director at BlackRock with compensation above a specified threshold is eligible to participate in the deferred compensation program.

Other Compensation Benefits. In addition to base salary 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, Inc. employees are eligible to participate, including a 401(k) plan, the BlackRock Retirement Savings Plan (RSP), and the BlackRock Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The employer contribution components of the RSP include a company match equal to 50% of the first 8% of eligible pay contributed to the plan capped at $5,000 per year, and a company retirement contribution

8

equal to 3-5% of eligible compensation up to the Internal Revenue Service limit ($260,000 for 2014). The RSP offers a range of investment options, including registered investment companies and collective investment funds managed by the firm. BlackRock, Inc. contributions follow the investment direction set by participants for their own contributions or, absent participant investment direction, are invested into a target date fund that corresponds to, or is closest to, the year in which the participant attains age 65. The ESPP allows for investment in BlackRock, Inc. common stock at a 5% discount on the fair market value of the stock on the purchase date. Annual participation in the ESPP is limited to the purchase of 1,000 shares of common stock or a dollar value of $25,000 based on its fair market value on the purchase date. All of the eligible portfolio managers are eligible to participate in these plans.
