$$/page=

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

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2009 BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc.

Investment Objective BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (BKN) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide high current income which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from regular federal income tax consistent with the preservation of capital. No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved. Performance For the six months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned 23.85% based on market price and 15.88% based on net asset value (“NAV”). For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 16.28% on a market price basis and 14.93% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. During the period, the Trust moved from a discount to a premium to NAV, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. During the period, the Trust maintained heavy exposure to A– and BBB-rated credits. Additionally, the Trust was positioned with a longer duration relative to its Lipper peers, and its holdings primarily comprised longer-dated bonds. These factors benefited total return as credit spreads narrowed and there was a combined curve flattening with an overall rally in prices. On a sector basis, the Trust’s significant holdings in housing and health contributed positively as these sectors outperformed. Lastly, fund manage- ment was active in the new-issue market, adding attractively-structured bonds at a discount to where similar credits were trading in the secondary market. Conversely, the Trust held fewer discount-coupon bonds, which saw the most price appreciation as municipal yields fell during the period; this detracted from results. Moreover, the Trust’s dividend to the shareholder was below the average of its Lipper peers. The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2009 BlackRock Long-Term Municipal Advantage Trust

Investment Objective BlackRock Long-Term Municipal Advantage Trust (BTA) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide current income which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from regular federal income tax. No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved. Performance For the six months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned 16.37% based on market price and 16.69% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 16.28% on a market price basis and 14.93% on a NAV basis. 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. Positive performance factors included concentrations in education, health, tobacco and corporate-related debt. Renewed risk appetite was also beneficial, given the Trust’s focus on lower-rated credits. In addition, the Trust’s long duration stance and emphasis on longer-dated bonds were significant positive contributors as yields on the long end of the curve fell substantially. Negative factors included less exposure to the tax-backed and essential services sectors. 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.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2009 BlackRock Municipal 2020 Term Trust

Investment Objective BlackRock Municipal 2020 Term Trust (BKK) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax and to return $15 per share (the initial public offering price) on or about December 31, 2020. No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved. Performance For the six months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned 17.06% based on market price and 17.08% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 16.28% on a market price basis and 14.93% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s premium to NAV, which remained substantially unchanged during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The Trust’s allocation to lower-rated issues with longer maturities bene- fited performance as the high yield sector outperformed, with credit spreads contracting as the overall market improved and yields declined. Conversely, the Trust’s short-duration bias detracted from performance in an environment where yields fell. The Trust is managed to meet a 2020 termination date, and as such, maintains a generally shorter duration than that of its Lipper category, which comprises longer-duration funds. Accordingly, the Trust did not fully bene- fit from the price appreciation that occurred amongst longer-dated securities. The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2009 BlackRock Pennsylvania Strategic Municipal Trust

Investment Objective BlackRock Pennsylvania Strategic Municipal Trust (BPS) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide monthly income which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from regular federal and Pennsylvania income taxes. No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved. Performance For the six months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned 24.45% based on market price and 16.96% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Pennsylvania Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 16.92% on a market price basis and 12.05% on a NAV basis. 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. A higher concentration in interest-rate-sensitive bonds benefited Trust performance as rates steadily declined through the period. Certain sector allocations also contributed to the Trust’s performance, specifically the long-term care and continuing care retire- ment communities sector, bonds escrowed to maturity, and US territories (i.e., Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands). Conversely, low exposure to both the corporate and non-investment-grade credit sectors detracted from the Trust’s performance as credit spreads tightened and these issues outperformed. The Trust’s moderate cash level had no impact on performance. The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.
2 Tax equivalent yield assumes the maximum federal tax rate of 35%.
3 The distribution is not constant and is subject to change.
4 Represents Preferred Shares and TOBs as a percentage of total managed assets, which is the total assets of the Trust, including any assets attribu-
table to Preferred Shares and TOBs, minus the sum of accrued liabilities. For a discussion of leveraging techniques utilized by the Trust, please see

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging The Trusts may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and NAV of their Common Shares. However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments. To leverage, all the Trusts, except for BTA, issue Preferred Shares, which pay dividends at prevailing short-term interest rates, and invest the proceeds in long-term municipal bonds. In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the cost of assets to be obtained from leverage will be based on short-term interest rates, which normally will be lower than the income earned by each Trust on its longer-term portfolio investments. To the extent that the total assets of each Trust (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, each Trust’s Common Shareholders will benefit from the incremental net income. To illustrate these concepts, assume a Trust’s Common Shares capitalization is $100 million and it issues Preferred Shares for an additional $50 million, creating a total value of $150 million available for investment in long-term municipal bonds. If prevailing short-term interest rates are 3% and long- term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive slope. In this case, the Trust pays dividends on the $50 million of Preferred Shares based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the securi- ties purchased by the Trust with assets received from Preferred Shares issuance earn the income based on long-term interest rates. In this case, the dividends paid to Preferred Shareholders are significantly lower than the income earned on the Trust’s long-term investments, and therefore the Common Shareholders are the beneficiaries of the incremental net income. If short-term interest rates rise, narrowing the differential between short- term and long-term interest rates, the incremental net income pickup on the Common Shares will be reduced or eliminated completely. Furthermore, if prevailing short-term interest rates rise above long-term interest rates of 6%, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case, the Trust pays divi- dends on the higher short-term interest rates whereas the Trust’s total port- folio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates. Furthermore, the value of the Trusts’ portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can influence the value of portfolio investments. In contrast, the redemp- tion value of the Trusts’ Preferred Shares do not fluctuate in relation to inter- est rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Trusts’ NAV positively or negatively in addition to the impact on Trust performance from leverage from Preferred Shares discussed above. The Trusts may also leverage their assets through the use of tender option bond (“TOB”) programs, as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. TOB investments generally will provide the Trusts with economic benefits in periods of declining short-term interest rates, but expose the Trusts to risks during periods of rising short-term interest rates similar to

those associated with Preferred Shares issued by the Trusts, as described above. Additionally, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB trust may adversely affect each Trust’s NAVs per share. The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased income to the Trusts and Common Shareholders, but as described above, it also creates risks as short- or long-term interest rates fluctuate. Leverage also will gen- erally cause greater changes in the Trusts’ NAV, market price and dividend rate than a comparable portfolio without leverage. If the income derived from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, the Trusts’ net income will be greater than if leverage had not been used. Conversely, if the income from the securities purchased is not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, each Trust’s net income will be less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount avail- able for distribution to Common Shareholders will be reduced. Each Trust may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at dis- tressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of leverage instruments, which may cause a Trust to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit each Trust’s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies, such as in the case of certain restrictions imposed by ratings agencies that rate preferred shares issued by the Trusts. Each Trust will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by Common Shareholders and may reduce income to the Common Shares. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trusts are permitted to issue Preferred Shares in an amount of up to 50% of their total managed assets at the time of issuance. Under normal circumstances, each Trust anticipates that the total economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs will not exceed 50% of its total managed assets at the time such leverage is incurred. As of October 31, 2009, the Trusts had economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs as a percentage of their total managed assets as follows:

Percent of
Leverage
BKN 38%
BTA 37%
BKK 39%
BFK 38%
BPS 38%
BSD 38%

Derivative Financial Instruments The Trusts may invest in various derivative instruments, including finan- cial futures contracts, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which constitute forms of economic leverage. Such instruments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market and/or interest rate risks. Such derivative instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative instrument and the underlying asset and illiquidity of the derivative instrument. The Trusts’ ability to successfully use a derivative instrument depends on the investment advisor’s ability to accu-

rately predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require the Trusts to sell or purchase portfolio securi- ties at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation the Trusts can realize on an investment or may cause the Trusts to hold a security that they might otherwise sell. The Trusts’ invest- ments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

• Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows: • Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities • 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) • 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) The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indica- tion of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. The following table summarizes the inputs used as of October 31, 2009 in deter- mining the fair valuation of the Trust’s investments:

• Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of
investments, which are as follows:
• Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets
and liabilities
• 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)
• 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)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indica-
tion of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about
the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting
policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of October 31, 2009 in deter-
mining the fair valuation of the Trust’s investments:

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies: BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (“BKN”) is organized as a Maryland corporation. BlackRock Long-Term Municipal Advantage Trust (“BTA”), BlackRock Municipal 2020 Term Trust (“BKK”), BlackRock Municipal Income Trust (“BFK”), BlackRock Pennsylvania Strategic Municipal Trust (“BPS”) and BlackRock Strategic Municipal Trust (“BSD”) (collectively, the “Trusts” or individually as the “Trust”) are organized as Delaware statutory trusts. BKN, BKK, BFK and BSD are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as diversified, closed-end management investment companies. BTA and BPS are registered under the 1940 Act as non-diversified, closed-end manage- ment investment companies. The Trusts’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Board of Directors and the Board of Trustees of the Trusts are referred to throughout this report as the “Board of Trustees” or the “Board.” Each Trust determines, and makes available for publication the net asset value of its Common Shares on a daily basis. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trusts: Valuation: Municipal investments (including commitments to purchase such investments on a “when-issued” basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services selected under the super- vision of each Trust’s Board. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments and information with respect to various relationships between investments. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Short- term securities with maturities less than 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment or is not available, the investment will be valued by a method approved by each Trust’s Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that each Trust might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub- advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof. Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery Securities: Each Trust may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement of such trans- actions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale

commitment is made. The Trusts may purchase securities under such con- ditions with the intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Trusts may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the purchaser is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Trusts assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. In the event of default by the coun- terparty, the Trusts’ maximum amount of loss is the unrealized gain of the commitment, which is shown on the Schedules of Investments, if any. Municipal Bonds Transferred to Tender Option Bond Trusts : The Trusts leverage their assets through the use of tender option bond trusts (“TOBs”). A TOB is established by a third party sponsor forming a special purpose entity, into which one or more funds, or an agent on behalf of the funds, transfers municipal bonds. Other funds managed by the investment advisor may also contribute municipal bonds to a TOB into which a Trust has con- tributed securities. A TOB typically issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate certificates, which are sold to third party investors, and residual certificates (“TOB Residuals”), which are generally issued to the participating funds that made the transfer. The TOB Residuals held by a Trust include the right of the Trust (1) to cause the holders of a propor- tional share of the floating rate certificates to tender their certificates at par, and (2) to transfer, within seven days, a corresponding share of the municipal bonds from the TOB to the Trust. The TOB may also be terminated without the consent of the Trust upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the TOB agreements. Such termination events may include the bankruptcy or default of the municipal bond, a substantial downgrade in credit quality of the municipal bond, the inability of the TOB to obtain quar- terly or annual renewal of the liquidity support agreement, a substantial decline in market value of the municipal bond or the inability to remarket the short-term floating rate certificates to third party investors. The cash received by the TOB from the sale of the short-term floating rate certificates, less transaction expenses, is paid to the Trust, which typically invests the cash in additional municipal bonds. Each Trust’s transfer of the municipal bonds to a TOB is accounted for as a secured borrowing, there- fore the municipal bonds deposited into a TOB are presented in the Trust’s Schedules of Investments and the proceeds from the issuance of the short- term floating rate certificates shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as trust certificates. Interest income from the underlying securities is recorded by the Trusts on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee services to a TOB are reported as expenses of the Trusts. The floating rate certifi- cates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender certificates to the TOB for redemption at par at each reset date. At October 31, 2009, the aggregate value of the underlying municipal bonds transferred to TOBs, the related liability for trust

Should short-term interest rates rise, the Trusts’ investments in TOBs may adversely affect the Trusts’ investment income and distributions to Common Shareholders. Also, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB may adversely affect the Trusts’ net asset value per share. Zero-Coupon Bonds: Each Trust may invest in zero-coupon bonds, which are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obligations which provide for regular interest payments. Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that a Trust either delivers collateral or segregates assets in connec- tion with certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts) each Trust will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or other liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party has requirements to deliver/deposit secu- rities as collateral for certain investments. Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the trans- actions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Interest income is recognized

on the accrual method. Each Trust amortizes all premiums and discounts on debt securities. Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends and distributions to Preferred Shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note 6. Income Taxes: It is each Trust’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Each Trust files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limita- tions on the Trusts’ US federal tax returns remain open for the year or period ended April 30, 2009 and the preceding three taxable years of the respec- tive Trust. The statutes of limitations on the Trusts’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Recent Accounting Standards: In June 2009, amended guidance was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board for transfers of finan- cial assets. This guidance is intended to improve the relevance, represen- tational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial perform- ance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of this guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, the enhanced disclo- sure provisions of the amended guidance should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this guidance. The impact of this guidance on the Trusts’ financial statements and disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed. Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each Trust’s Board, non-interested 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 other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Trustees. This has approximately the same economic effect for the Independent Trustees as if the Independent Trustees had invested the deferred amounts directly in the other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds. The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of each Trust. Each Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations. Investments to cover each Trust’s deferred compensation liability are included in other assets in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends and distribu- tions from the BlackRock Closed-End Fund investments under the plan are included in income — affiliated in the Statements of Operations.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) Other: Expenses directly related to each Trust are charged to that Trust. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro-rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. 2. Derivative Financial Instruments: The Trusts may engage in various portfolio investment strategies both to increase the returns of the Trusts and to economically hedge, or protect, their exposure to interest rate risk. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying security, or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. To the extent amounts due to the Trusts from their counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Trusts bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. See Note 1 “Segregation and Collateralization” for information with respect to collateral practices. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts is minimal because of the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which they trade. Financial Futures Contracts: The Trusts may purchase or sell financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain expo- sure to, or economically hedge against, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk). Financial futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Pursuant to the contract, the Trusts agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recognized by the Trusts as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Trusts record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.

  1. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates: The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) and Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate for 1940 Act purposes, but BAC is not.

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 necessary to the operations of each Trust. For such services, each Trust pays the Manager a monthly fee of the Trust’s average weekly net assets at the following annual rates:

BKN 0.35%
BTA 1.00%
BKK 0.50%
BFK 0.60%
BPS 0.60%
BSD 0.60%

Average weekly net assets for all of the Trusts, except BTA, is the average weekly value of each Trust’s total assets minus the sum of its accrued lia- bilities. For BTA, average weekly net assets is the average weekly value of the Trust’s total assets minus the sum of its total liabilities. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fee as a percentage of net assets as follows:

Through Rate
BTA January 31, 2008 – January 31, 2011 0.40%
January 31, 2012 0.30%
January 31, 2013 0.20%
January 31, 2014 0.10%
BFK July 31, 2008 – July 31, 2009 0.10%
July 31, 2010 0.05%
For the six months ended October 31, 2009, the Manager waived the fol-
lowing amounts, which are included in fees waived by advisor in the
Statements of Operations.
Fees Waived
by Manager
BTA $278,179
BFK $323,964

Additionally, the Manager has agreed to waive its advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees each Trust pays to the Manager indi- rectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds, which are included in fees waived by advisor in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended October 31, 2009, the amounts waived were as follows:

Fees Waived
by Manager
BKN $ 7,501
BTA $ 1,697
BKK $ 2,680

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) The Manager has entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”), an affiliate of the Manager, under which the Manager pays BFM, for services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fee paid by the Trusts to the Manager. BKN has an Administration Agreement with the Manager. The administration fee paid to the Manager is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Trust’s average weekly net assets including proceeds from the issuance of Preferred Shares and TOBs. For the six months ended October 31, 2009, certain Trust’s reimbursed the Manager for certain accounting services in the following amounts, which are included in accounting services in the Statements of Operations.

Reimbursement
BTA $2,396
BKK $4,370
BFK $8,937
BPS $ 428
BSD $1,234

Certain officers and/or trustees of the Trusts are officers and/or directors of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Trusts reimburse the Manager for compensa- tion paid to the Trusts’ Chief Compliance Officer. 4. Investments: Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended October 31, 2009 were as follows:

Purchases Sales
BKN $ 85,896,962 $ 75,472,356
BTA $ 54,084,061 $ 45,547,898

BPS $ 7,090,667 $ 6,242,835
BSD $ 23,954,360 $ 26,237,766
  1. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk: Each Trust invests a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single state or limited number of states. Please see the Schedules of Investments for concentrations in specific states. Many municipalities insure repayment of their bonds, which reduces the risk of loss due to issuer default. The market value of these bonds may fluctuate for other reasons, including market perception of the value of such insur- ance, and there is no guarantee that the insurer will meet its obligation. 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 (credit risk). The value of securities held by the Trusts may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securi- ties are owned by the Trusts; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or eco- nomic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to credit risk, the Trusts may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Trusts have unsettled or open trans- actions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Trusts

to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Trusts’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in the Trusts’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Trusts. 6. Capital Share Transactions: BTA, BKK, BFK, BPS and BSD are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, including Preferred Shares, par value $0.001 per share, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. BKN is authorized to issue 200 million shares, including Preferred Shares, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares par value $0.01 per share. Each Trust’s Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued shares without approval of Common Shareholders. Common Shares At October 31, 2009, the shares owned by an affiliate of the Manager of the Trusts were as follows:

BTA Shares — 9,704
BKK 8,028
For the periods shown, shares issued and outstanding increased by the fol-
lowing amounts as a result of dividend reinvestment:

BPS — — 1,436
BSD 1,237 — 6,166

Shares issued and outstanding remained constant for BTA and BKK for the current period, prior year and two years prior. Preferred Shares The Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of each Trust, in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date at their liquidation preference plus any accumulated unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The Preferred Shares are also subject to mandatory redemption at their liqui- dation preference plus any accumulated or unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and liabilities of a Trust, as set forth in each Trust’s Statement of Preferences/Articles Supplementary (“Governing Instrument”), as applica- ble, are not satisfied. From time to time in the future, each Trust that has issued Preferred Shares may effect repurchases of such shares at prices below their liquidation preferences as agreed upon by the Trusts and seller. Each Trust also may redeem such shares from time to time as provided in the applicable Governing Instrument. The Trust intends to effect such redemptions and/or repurchases to the extent necessary to maintain applicable asset coverage requirements or for such other reasons as the Board may determine. The holders of Preferred Shares have voting rights equal to the holders of Common Shares (one vote per share) and will vote together with holders

46 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) of Common Shares (one vote per share) as a single class. However, holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, are also entitled to elect two Trustees for each Trust. In addition, the 1940 Act requires that along with approval by shareholders that might otherwise be required, the approval of the holders of a majority of any outstanding Preferred Shares voting separately as a class, would be required to (a) adopt any plan of reorganization that would adversely affect the Preferred Shares, (b) change a Trust’s sub-classification as a closed-end investment company or change its fundamental investment restrictions or (c) change its business so as to cease to be an investment company. The Trusts had the following series of Preferred Shares outstanding, effec- tive yields and reset frequency at October 31, 2009:

Preferred Effective Reset — Frequency
Series Shares Yield Days
BKN T7 2,804 0.43% 7
T28 2,234 0.43% 28
BKK M7 2,318 0.43% 7
W7 2,318 0.43% 7
F7 2,318 0.43% 7
BFK M7 2,167 0.43% 7
T7 2,167 0.43% 7
W7 2,167 0.43% 7
R7 2,167 0.41% 7
F7 2,167 0.43% 7
BPS W7 653 0.43% 7
BSD W7 1,719 0.43% 7

Dividends on seven-day and 28-day Preferred Shares are cumulative at a rate which is reset every seven or 28 days, respectively, based on the results of an auction. If the Preferred Shares fail to clear the auction on an auction date, the affected Trust is required to pay the maximum applicable rate on the Preferred Shares to holders of such shares for successive divi- dend periods until such time as the shares are successfully auctioned. The maximum applicable rate on all series of Preferred Shares is the higher of 110% of the AA commercial paper rate or 110% of 90% of the Kenny S&P 30-day High Grade Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate. The low, high and average dividend rates on the Preferred Shares for each Trust for the six months ended October 31, 2009 were as follows:

Series Low High Average
BKN T7 0.40% 0.67% 0.50%
T28 0.40% 0.63% 0.49%
BKK M7 0.40% 0.76% 0.50%
W7 0.38% 0.66% 0.50%
F7 0.35% 0.76% 0.50%
BFK M7 0.40% 0.76% 0.50%
T7 0.40% 0.67% 0.50%
W7 0.38% 0.66% 0.50%
R7 0.35% 0.64% 0.49%
F7 0.35% 0.76% 0.50%
BPS W7 0.38% 0.66% 0.50%
BSD W7 0.38% 0.66% 0.50%

Since February 13, 2008, the Preferred Shares of each Trust failed to clear any of their auctions. As a result, the Preferred Shares dividend rates were reset to the maximum applicable rate that ranged from 0.35% to 0.76% for the six months ended October 31, 2009. A failed auction is not an event of

default for the Trusts but it has a negative impact on the liquidity of Preferred Shares. A failed auction occurs when there are more sellers of a trust’s auction rate preferred shares than buyers. It is impossible to predict how long this imbalance will last. A successful auction for the Trusts’ Preferred Shares may not occur for some time, if ever, and even if liquidity does resume, Preferred Shareholders may not have the ability to sell the Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference. The Trusts may not declare dividends or make other distributions on Common Shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the decla- ration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the out- standing Preferred Shares is less than 200%. The Trusts pay commissions of 0.25% on the aggregate principal amount of all shares that successfully clear their auctions and 0.15% on the aggregate principal amount of all shares that fail to clear their auctions. Certain broker-dealers have individually agreed to reduce commissions for failed auctions. During the six months ended October 31, 2009, the Trusts announced the following redemptions of Preferred Shares at a price of $25,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the redemption dates:

Series Redemption — Date Shares — Redeemed Aggregate — Principal

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements

The Board of Trustees (each, a “Board” and, collectively, the “Boards,” and the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of each of BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust (“BKN”), BlackRock Long- Term Municipal Advantage Trust (“BTA”), BlackRock Municipal 2020 Term Trust (“BKK”), BlackRock Municipal Income Trust (“BFK”), BlackRock Pennsylvania Strategic Municipal Trust (“BPS”) and BlackRock Strategic Municipal Trust (“BSD,” and together with BKN, BTA, BKK, BFK and BPS, each a “Fund,” and, collectively, the “Funds”) met on April 14, 2009 and May 28 – 29, 2009 to consider the approval of each Fund’s investment advisory agreement (each, an “Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), each Fund’s investment advisor. Each Board also considered the approval of the sub-advisory agreement (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between its respective Fund, the Manager and BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Advisor”). The Manager and the Sub-Advisor are referred to herein as “BlackRock.” The Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to herein as the “Agreements.” Unless otherwise indicated, references to actions taken by the “Board” or the “Boards” shall mean each Board acting independently with respect to its respective Fund. Activities and Composition of the Boards Each Board consists of twelve individuals, ten of whom are not “interested persons” of the Funds as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board Members of each Fund are responsible for the oversight of the oper- ations of such Fund and perform the various duties imposed on the direc- tors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in con- nection with their duties. The Chairman of each Board is an Independent Board Member. Each Board has established five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compli- ance Committee, a Performance Oversight Committee and an Executive Committee, each of which is composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Executive Committee, which has one interested Board Member) and is chaired by an Independent Board Member. In addition, each Board has established an Ad Hoc Committee on Auction Market Preferred Shares. The Agreements Pursuant to the 1940 Act, each Board is required to consider the continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. In connection with this process, each Board assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the services provided to its respective Fund by the personnel of BlackRock and its affiliates, including investment management, administrative and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services and assistance in meeting applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Throughout the year, the Boards, acting directly and through their commit- tees, consider at each of their meetings factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements, including the serv- ices and support provided by BlackRock to the Funds and their shareholders.

Among the matters the Boards considered were: (a) investment perform- ance for one-, three- and five-year periods, as applicable, against peer funds, and applicable benchmarks, if any, as well as senior management and portfolio managers’ analysis of the reasons for any out performance or underperformance against each Fund’s peers; (b) fees, including advisory fees and, with respect to BKN, administration fees, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by the Funds for services such as call center and fund accounting; (c) the Funds’ operating expenses; (d) the resources devoted to, and compliance reports relating to, the Funds’ investment objectives, policies and restrictions; (e) the Funds’ compliance with their Code of Ethics and compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates; (g) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting poli- cies approved by the Boards; (i) execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) BlackRock’s implementation of the Funds’ valuation and liquidity proce- dures; and (k) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business. Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements The Approval Process: Prior to the April 14, 2009 meeting, each Board requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. Each Board is engaged in an ongoing process with BlackRock to continu- ously review the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist their deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the April meeting included (a) information independently compiled and pre- pared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on Fund fees and expenses, and the invest- ment performance of each Fund as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper and, where applicable, a customized peer group selected by BlackRock (collectively, “Peers”); (b) information on the prof- itability of the Agreements to BlackRock and a discussion of fall-out bene- fits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment advisory fees charged to other clients, such as institutional clients and open-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as well as the performance of such other clients; (d) the impact of economies of scale; (e) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by each Fund to BlackRock; and (f) an internal comparison of management fees classified by Lipper, if applicable. At an in-person meeting held on April 14, 2009, each Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the April 14, 2009 meeting, the Boards presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional informa- tion and BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the May 28 – 29, 2009 Board meeting. At an in-person meeting held on May 28 – 29, 2009, each Fund’s Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and such Fund and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between such Fund, the Manager and the Sub-Advisor, each for a one-year term ending June 30, 2010. The Boards considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to the

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009 49

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

Funds, including, among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of the Funds and BlackRock portfolio management; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and certain affiliates from their relationship with the Funds; (d) economies of scale; and (e) other factors. Each Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as services related to the valuation and pricing of its respective Fund’s portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders from their rela- tionship with such Fund and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Board’s review. The Boards noted the willingness of BlackRock personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Boards. The Boards did not identify any particular information as controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered. A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services: Each Board, including its Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and the resulting performance of its respective Fund. Throughout the year, each Board compared its respective Fund’s performance to the perform- ance of a comparable group of closed-end funds, and the performance of a relevant benchmark, if any. The Boards met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment operations, including the senior investment officers. Each Board also reviewed the materials provided by its respective Fund’s portfolio management team discussing such Fund’s performance and such Fund’s investment objective, strategies and outlook. Each Board considered, among other factors, the number, education and experience of BlackRock’s investment personnel generally and its respec- tive Fund’s portfolio management team, investments by portfolio man- agers in the funds they manage, BlackRock’s portfolio trading capabilities, BlackRock’s use of technology, BlackRock’s commitment to compliance and BlackRock’s approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. Each Board also reviewed a general description of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to its respective Fund’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high-quality talent. In addition to advisory services, each Board considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to its respective Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders provide the Funds with certain administrative and other services (in addi- tion to any such services provided to the Funds by third parties) and offi- cers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Funds. In addition to investment advisory services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Funds with other services, including (i) preparing disclosure doc- uments, such as the prospectus and the statement of additional informa- tion in connection with the initial public offering and periodic shareholder

reports; (ii) preparing communications with analysts to support secondary market trading of the Funds; (iii) assisting with daily accounting and pric- ing; (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) perform- ing other administrative functions necessary for the operation of the Funds, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements, and call cen- ter services. The Boards reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, accounting, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations. B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and BlackRock: Each Board, including its Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of its respective Fund. In preparation for the April 14, 2009 meeting, the Boards were provided with reports, independently pre- pared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of each Fund’s performance. The Boards also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed various factors that affect Lipper’s rankings. In connection with its review, each Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment per- formance of its respective Fund as compared to a representative group of similar funds as determined by Lipper and to all funds in such Fund’s applicable Lipper category and, where applicable, a customized peer group selected by BlackRock. Each Board was provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds. Each Board regularly reviews the performance of its respective Fund throughout the year. The Board of BPS noted that, in general, BPS performed better than its Peers in that BPS’s performance was at or above the median of its Lipper performance universe composite in two of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported. The Board of each of BKN, BFK and BSD noted that, in general, each of BKN, BFK and BSD performed better than their respective Peers in that the performance of each of BKN, BFK and BSD was at or above the median of their respective customized Lipper peer group composite in each of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported. The Board of BKK noted that BKK performed below the median of its Lipper performance universe composite in the one-, three- and five-year periods reported. The Board of BKK and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for BKK’s underperformance during these periods compared with its Peers. The Board of BKK was informed that, among other things, performance was heavily influenced by BKK’s sector allocation which experienced volatile market movement last year. The Board of BTA noted that BTA performed below the median of its cus- tomized Lipper peer group composite in the one-year period reported. The Board of BTA and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for BTA’s underperformance during this period compared with its Peers. The Board of BTA was informed

50 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009

$$/page=

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

that, among other things, BTA’s above market weight exposure to both credit and the long end of the yield curve negatively impacted performance. For BKK and BTA, the Board of each respective Fund and BlackRock dis- cussed BlackRock’s commitment to providing the resources necessary to assist the portfolio managers and to improve each such Fund’s performance. C. Consideration of the Advisory Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Funds: Each Board, including its Independent Board Members, reviewed its respective Fund’s contractual advisory fee rates compared with the other funds in its respective Lipper category. Each Board also compared its respective Fund’s total expenses, as well as actual management fees, to those of other comparable funds. Each Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, including separately managed institutional accounts. The Boards received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided the Funds. The Boards were also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to the Funds. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitabil- ity with respect to the Funds and other funds the Boards currently oversee for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to other fund com- plexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Boards recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers by the Manager, the types of funds managed, expense alloca- tions and business mix, and therefore comparability of profitability is somewhat limited. The Boards noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitabil- ity of other advisors is not publicly available. Nevertheless, to the extent such information is available, the Boards considered BlackRock’s overall operating margin, in general, compared to the operating margin for leading investment management firms whose operations include advising closed- end funds, among other product types. The comparison indicated that operating margins for BlackRock with respect to its registered funds are generally consistent with margins earned by similarly situated publicly traded competitors. In addition, the Boards considered, among other things, certain third-party data comparing BlackRock’s operating margin with that of other publicly-traded asset management firms, which con- cluded that larger asset bases do not, in themselves, translate to higher profit margins. In addition, the Boards considered the cost of the services provided to the Funds by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating to

the management and distribution of the Funds and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of their analysis, the Boards reviewed BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Funds. The Boards also considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment manage- ment personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to con- tinue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Boards. The Board of each of BKN, BKK, BFK, BPS and BSD noted that its respec- tive Fund paid contractual management fees, which do not take into account any expense reimbursement or fee waivers, lower than or equal to the median contractual management fees paid by such Fund’s Peers. The Board of BTA noted that although BTA paid contractual management fees higher than the median of its Peers, its actual management fees were lower than or equal to the median of its Peers. D. Economies of Scale: Each Board, including its Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of its respective Fund increase and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable such Fund to participate in these economies of scale, for example through the use of breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the assets of such Fund. The Boards considered that the funds in the BlackRock fund complex share some common resources and, as a result, an increase in the overall size of the complex could permit each fund to incur lower expenses than it would otherwise as a stand-alone entity. The Boards also considered BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Boards noted that most closed-end fund complexes do not have fund level breakpoints because closed-end funds generally do not experience substantial growth after the initial public offering and each fund is man- aged independently, consistent with its own investment objectives. The Boards noted that only one closed-end fund in the Fund Complex has breakpoints in its fee structure. Information provided by Lipper also revealed that only one closed-end fund complex used a complex-level breakpoint structure. E. Other Factors: The Boards also took into account other ancillary or “fall- out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates and significant shareholders may derive from their relationship with the Funds, both tangible and intan- gible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affili- ates and significant shareholders as service providers to the Funds, includ- ing for administrative and distribution services. The Boards also noted that BlackRock may use third-party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain mutual fund transactions to assist itself in managing all or a number of its other client accounts.

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

In connection with their consideration of the Agreements, the Boards also received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar prac- tices. The Boards received reports from BlackRock, which included informa- tion on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year. Conclusion Each Board, including its Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between its respec- tive Fund and the Manager for a one-year term ending June 30, 2010 and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between such Fund, the Manager and such Fund’s Sub-Advisor for a one-year term ending June 30, 2010. Based upon its evaluation of all these factors in their totality, each Board, includ- ing its Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the

Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of its respec- tive Fund and its shareholders. In arriving at a decision to approve the Agreements, each Board did not identify any single factor or group of fac- tors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the vari- ous factors considered. The Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination. The contractual fee arrangements for each Fund reflects the results of sev- eral years of review by such Fund’s Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and BlackRock. Certain aspects of the arrangements may be the subject of more attention in some years than in others, and the Board Members’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.
