Certain Trusts estimate that 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 the Trusts, 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 distributed the following fixed amounts per share on a monthly basis as of June 30, 2015:


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	$0.0655
	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 Trust’s 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 at any time without prior notice to the Trust’s shareholders 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,

During the 12-month period ended June 30, 2015, market volatility increased from the remarkably low levels seen in recent years, although it remained below the historical average. In the middle of 2014, geopolitical tensions intensified in Ukraine and the Middle East and oil prices became highly volatile, stoking worries about economic growth outside the United States. The U.S. economy, however, was showing improvement, which made investors concerned that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) would raise short-term rates sooner than previously anticipated. The U.S. dollar appreciated and global credit markets tightened, ultimately putting a strain on investor flows.

In the fourth quarter, U.S. growth picked up considerably while the broader global economy showed more signs of slowing. This, combined with rising global risks, drove investors to the relative stability of U.S. assets. International markets continued to struggle even as the European Central Bank (“ECB”) and the Bank of Japan eased monetary policy. Oil prices plummeted due to a global supply-and-demand imbalance, sparking a selloff in energy-related assets and putting stress on emerging markets. Fixed income investors piled into U.S. Treasuries despite their persistently low yields, which had become attractive as compared to the even lower yields on international sovereign debt.

Equity markets reversed in early 2015, with international markets outperforming the United States as global risks abated. Investors had held high expectations for the U.S. economy, but a harsh winter and west coast port strike brought disappointing first-quarter data and high valuations took their toll on U.S. stocks, while bond yields fell to extreme lows. (Bond prices rise as yields fall.) In contrast, economic reports in Europe and Asia easily beat investors’ very low expectations, and accommodative policies from central banks in those regions helped international equities rebound. Oil prices stabilized, providing some relief for emerging market stocks, although a stronger U.S. dollar continued to be a headwind for the asset class.

U.S. economic data regained momentum in the second quarter, helping U.S. stocks resume an upward path. However, meaningful strength in the labor market underscored the likelihood that the Fed would raise short-term rates before the end of 2015 and bond yields moved swiftly higher. The period ended on a downbeat, but temporary, note as Greece’s long-brewing debt troubles came to an impasse. As the drama unfolded around the tumultuous negotiations between Greece and its creditors, investors feared the possibility of Greece leaving the euro zone and the impact such an event might have on global markets. Most asset classes broadly sold off, especially in Europe, even while macroeconomic and company fundamentals continued to improve.

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.

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 the Trusts’ distribution rate 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 limiting 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.

Trust Summary as of June 30, 2015			BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust

TrustOverview

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.

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

Average return.

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 the Trust’s absolute performance based on NAV:

What factors influenced performance?

•

The Trust’s position in the U.S.-based refiner Phillips 66 was the largest contributor to absolute performance. U.S. refiners generally performed well due to the combination of continued oversupply in the oil market and strong demand for refined petroleum products. The Trust’s holding in BG Group PLC was another notable contributor, as the stock was bid for by fellow integrated company Royal Dutch Shell PLC. The U.K.-listed exploration and production (E&P) company Cairn Energy PLC also made a robust contribution to performance. The company issued a positive update that contained further details regarding its recent discoveries in Senegal and future exploration plans in the region.

•

The price of oil recovered during the period, and while near-term oil futures con- tracts rallied strongly, longer-dated contracts weakened. Since energy stocks are typically priced on expectations of future profits, the sector significantly underperformed spot (near-term) oil prices. Concerns that Greek debt

re-negotiations and China’s stock market pullbacks could have an adverse impact on global growth also weighed on market sentiment regarding energy companies. The Trust’s holdings in some of the large, integrated energy companies detracted from absolute performance, with positions in Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. among the largest individual detractors.

•

Describe recent portfolio activity.

•

During the first calendar quarter of 2015, the Trust’s investment advisor gradually began to increase the portfolio’s sensitivity to oil prices. The rationale for this move was the increasing evidence that lower oil prices had forced energy companies to change their behavior in ways that should lead to a more favorable balance of supply and demand over time. The Trust achieved this shift by adding to positions in E&P companies and reducing exposure to lower-beta, more defensive integrated oil & gas companies. The investment advisor subsequently maintained its oil-price sensitivity at a constant level as it awaited further clarity on variables such as U.S. production, geopolitical unrest and the outcome of the Iran talks.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

•

As of period end, the Trust held its largest allocations in the E&P and integrated oil & gas sub-industries, with smaller allocations to oil services, distribution, and refining & marketing stocks. The Trust continued to emphasize companies with strong balance sheets, high-quality assets and low costs of production.

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.

NA — Not applicable as the index does not have a market price

The following discussion relates to the Trust’s relative performance based on the index cited above:

What factors influenced performance?

•

The Trust generated a positive return through its stock selection across multiple sectors. Within the consumer discretionary sector, Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. made the largest contribution to return after industry leader Expedia, Inc. announced it would acquire the company at a premium. The Trust’s overweight to managed care companies within the health care sector was also additive, as rumors of merger and acquisition activity sparked a rally in the group. Generally benign medical cost trends provided an additional lift for the industry, as did a favorable Supreme Court ruling concerning insurance subsidies under the Affordable Care Act. Selection in the energy sector, notably among refining stocks, was an additional source of positive performance. Refiners benefited from a stabilization in crude prices and a widening price spread between their primary input, oil, and their finished products (such as gasoline). An underweight in utility stocks also added to performance.

•

The Trust’s positioning in the information technology (IT) sector, particularly the semiconductor industry, was among the primary detractors from performance. Micron Technology, Inc. underperformed due to lower earnings caused by slowing

personal computer (PC) sales. In addition, the company experienced rising costs as it invested in product lines outside of the PC end market and began manufacturing next-generation DRAM technology. Stock selection was also negative in industrials, as airlines struggled due to concerns about capacity discipline, weaker pricing and rising fuel costs. Also in industrials, bellwether 3M Co. lost ground after reporting an earnings miss stemming from the impact of the strong U.S. dollar.

•

The Trust made use of options, principally written call options on individual stocks, in order to seek enhanced income returns while continuing to participate in the performance of the underlying equities. The Trust’s option writing strategy modestly detracted from performance during the period. The Trust also utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts, and these positions added value in the context of U.S. dollar strength.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

•

The Trust reduced exposure to consumer discretionary and materials stocks, and it exited the telecommunications sector. Conversely, it increased its positions in the health care and consumer staples sectors.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

•

The portfolio’s cash weighting was slightly over 5% at the end of the period. Modestly elevated cash levels served to dampen the impact of the Trust’s underweight position in lower-volatility market segments, such as utilities and telecommunications. At a near-zero return, this cash position underperformed the return of the broader portfolio but outpaced the S&P 500 Value index, which posted a negative return for the period.

•

Relative to the S&P 500^® Value Index, the Trust ended the period overweight in the health care, consumer discretionary and IT sectors. The Trust was underweight in the utilities, consumer staples, materials, industrials and telecommunication services sectors.

N/A — Not applicable as the index does not have a market price.

The following discussion relates to the Trust’s relative performance based on the index cited above:

What factors influenced performance?

•

The largest contributor to relative performance was stock selection in the consumer staples sector. Notably, an underweight to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and holding non-benchmark stocks The Kroger Co. and Kraft Foods Group, Inc. proved beneficial. Stock selection in energy also added to relative returns, with an underweight to Exxon Mobil Corp. and an overweight to Marathon Petroleum Corp. the leading relative contributors within the sector. Lastly, a combination of stock selection and an overweight in consumer discretionary proved additive, as non-benchmark holding The Home Depot, Inc. performed strongly.

•

The most significant detractor from relative performance during the period came from a combination of stock selection and an underweight in health care. Notably, an underweight to the health care providers & services industry proved costly as the benchmark companies Cigna Corporation, Aetna, Inc. and Humana, Inc. —

none of which were held in the portfolio — benefited from speculation over merger and acquisition activity. Stock selection in industrials also hurt relative performance, as non-benchmark holdings Union Pacific Corp. and United Parcel Service detracted, as did an overweight to aerospace & defense contractor Raytheon Co. Lastly, stock selection in materials and a combination of stock selection and an underweight in financials weighed on relative returns for the period.

•

Describe recent portfolio activity.

•

During the six-month period, the Trust’s exposure to the health care and information technology (“IT”) sectors was increased. Notable transactions within health care included initiating positions in managed care providers UnitedHealth Group, Inc. and Anthem, Inc. Within IT, the Trust purchased shares of Oracle Corp. and increased its allocation in QUALCOMM, Inc. Conversely, exposure to the consumer discretionary sector was reduced through the elimination of positions in VF Corporation and The Walt Disney Co., as well as a reduction of the Trust’s position in Comcast Corp.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

•

The Trust’s largest allocations were in the financials, industrials and health care sectors. The Trust maintained more selective exposure to the higher-yielding segments of the equity market, including consumer staples, real estate investment trusts and utilities, given the current level of their valuations and payout ratios.

Trust Overview

BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust’s (BOE) (the “Trust”) primary investment objective is to provide current income and current gains, with a secondary investment objective of long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in equity securities issued by companies located in countries throughout the world and utilizing an option writing (selling) strategy to seek total return performance and enhance distributions.

The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

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

The following discussion relates to the Trust’s relative performance based on the index cited above:

What factors influenced performance?

•

For the six-month period, the Trust’s stock selection was positive in 9 of 10 economic sectors. The most notable contributions came from stock selection within the financials and consumer staples sectors. In financials, notable contributors included WisdomTree Investments, Inc., which reported continued strong inflows into its exchange-traded fund lineup and exceeded earnings expectations for the period, and Bank United, Inc., which reported robust loan growth in its two main markets, New York and Florida. In consumer staples, Nomad Foods Ltd. also boosted returns, as the company announced both an acquisition of a U.K. frozen food vendor, and that its shares were to be listed on the London Stock Exchange.

•

The only notable detractor during the period came from stock selection in the energy sector, after shares of Royal Dutch Shell PLC trended lower over concerns regarding the cost of the company’s recently proposed acquisition of BG Group

PLC, an integrated natural gas company domiciled in the U.K. Investor concerns over the potential merger were coupled with weakness in the price of oil over the six-month period. However, the Trust’s investment advisor believes that the acquisition would ultimately be helpful to Royal Dutch Shell PLC’s earnings, though the benefits might not be captured until the price of oil rebounds and business synergies between the two companies are realized.

•

Describe recent portfolio activity.

•

During the six-month period, the Trust reduced its holdings in the energy sector on concerns over the continued downward pressure on the price of oil, as well as in health care in order to lock in gains after notable outperformance. Proceeds were used to increase exposure to the telecommunications services (“telecom”) and consumer discretionary sectors. Regionally, the Trust reduced its exposure to the developed Americas and emerging Asia, using the proceeds to add to its holdings in developed Europe and Asia Pacific Basin.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

•

Relative to the MSCI All Country World Index, the Trust ended the period overweight in the Europe and emerging Asia regions, and underweight in the Pacific Basin (including Japan) and developed Americas. From a sector perspective, the Trust was most notably overweight in the information technology and telecom sectors, funded by underweights in the materials and energy sectors.

The following discussion relates to the Trust’s relative performance based on the index cited above:

What factors influenced performance?

•

All four health care sub-sectors (pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices & supplies and health care providers & services) aided relative performance during the period under review, with the majority of gains generated by effective stock selection within the pharmaceuticals and biotechnology industries. In pharmaceuticals, the Trust was helped by its underweight positions in Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer, Inc., both of which were hampered by concerns about future growth. Overweight positions in Eli Lilly & Co. and the specialty pharmaceutical company Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. aided performance as well. In addition, Eisai Co., Ltd., Chugai Pharmaceutical, Co. Ltd. and Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc. gained ground due to positive clinical developments. Within biotechnology, the gains were led by Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical, Inc., Receptos, Inc., Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. and Synageva BioPharma Corp., which received an acquisition bid.

•

During a six-month period of strong performance for the health care sector, there were only a handful of detractors from the Trust’s performance. At the industry level, managed health care was the largest detractor. The Trust was also hurt by its underweight in the biotechnology company Gilead Sciences, Inc. and lack of a position in Pharmacylics, Inc., which received an acquisition bid. Overweight positions in Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (biotechnology) and AstraZeneca PLC also detracted from performance.

•

The Trust made use of options, principally written call options on individual stocks, in order to seek enhanced income returns while continuing to participate in the performance of the underlying equities. Given the positive absolute return for the health care sector, the Trust’s option writing strategy detracted from performance during the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

•

The Trust’s industry allocations generally stayed in line with their allocations at the beginning of the period, although there were individual stock changes in each sub-sector. The Trust slightly decreased its weightings in the pharmaceuticals and biotechnology industries, and its weightings in health care providers & services and medical devices & supplies rose slightly. These allocations were the by-product of the Trust’s bottom-up, fundamental investment process.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

•

The Trust continues to focus on identifying innovative companies. Accordingly, its three largest allocations were to the biotechnology, medical devices & supplies and pharmaceuticals industries, where favorable trends in the innovation cycle have supported positive secular growth.

What factors influenced performance?

•

Stock selection in the financials and consumer discretionary sectors contributed positively to performance. In financials, contributors included Element Financial Corp., a Canadian leasing company, which rallied strongly after announcing the acquisition of General Electric’s vehicle fleet-management business. Within consumer discretionary, the Trust’s private investment in Snapdeal.com, an e-commerce firm from India, benefited from a successful additional round of financing. Also within consumer discretionary, Crest Nicholson Holdings PLC, a U.K. developer of sustainable housing, reported strong spring sales, coupled with a favorable earnings forecast.

•

The only notable detractor for the period came from stock selection in the information technology (“IT”) sector. Two positions within the sector, Alibaba Group Holding — ADR and Baidu, Inc., came under pressure during the six-month period after outperforming during the prior calendar year. The investment advisor

believes that both firms remain attractive because of exposure to Chinese e-commerce and Internet search, respectively.

•

Describe recent portfolio activity.

•

During the six-month period, the Trust reduced its exposure to the consumer discretionary and health care sectors in order to lock in gains following strong performance. The proceeds were used to increase exposure to the financials and telecommunications sectors. Regionally, the Trust reduced its exposure to the developed Americas and emerging Europe, using the proceeds to add to its holdings in developed Europe.

•

In addition, the Trust’s cash position increased over the period as profits were taken in several names that rallied strongly following the European Central Bank’s announcement of its quantitative easing program. The Trust’s cash position was a slight detractor from performance during the most recent six-month period, but is intended to be deployed opportunistically going forward.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

•

Relative to the MSCI All Country World Index, the Trust ended the period overweight in Europe, primarily funded by a significant underweight to the Asia Pacific region, including Japan. From a sector perspective, the Trust was most notably overweight in the IT, health care and consumer discretionary sectors, while the most significant underweights were in the materials and financials sectors.

The Trust will seek to achieve its investment objectives, under normal market conditions, by investing at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities issued by commodity or natural resources companies, derivatives with exposure to commodity or natural resources companies or investments in securities and derivatives linked to the underlying price movement of commodities or natural resources.

The Trust’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 the Trust’s absolute performance based on NAV:

What factors influenced performance?

•

The Trust’s holding in the agriculture science company Syngenta AG was among the largest contributors to returns during the period, as the stock rallied following a bid from Monsanto Co. This deal would result in a combined entity that would be the market leader in both the crop protection and seed industries. Syngenta rejected Monsanto’s initial offer, however, stating that it undervalued Syngenta’s prospects and underestimated the significant execution risks. At the end of the period, the deal remained unresolved.

•

The price of oil recovered during the period, and while near-term oil futures contracts rallied strongly, longer-dated contracts weakened. Since energy stocks are typically priced on expectations of future profits, the sector significantly underperformed spot (near-term) oil prices. The Trust’s holdings in some of the

large, integrated energy companies detracted from absolute performance as a result, and positions in Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. were among the largest individual detractors. The Trust’s positioning in Monsanto Co. also detracted from absolute performance, as the stock came under pressure following its unsuccessful attempt to acquire Syngenta and its announcement of worse-than-expected results.

•

Describe recent portfolio activity.

•

The Fund reduced its energy exposure during the period, while it increased its positions in the metals & mining and agriculture-related sectors. The primary driver of the Trust’s agriculture allocation was the investment advisor’s view that there are emerging opportunities within certain subsectors amid a stable price environment for agricultural commodities. The investment advisor saw diminished downside risks in the metals & mining industry and found a growing number of attractive valuation opportunities in the group.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

•

The agriculture-related sector (which includes chemicals, food products and paper & forest products) was the Trust’s largest allocation as of period end, followed by metals & mining and energy stocks, respectively.

N/A—Not applicable as the index does not have a market price.

The following discussion relates to the Trust’s relative performance based on the index cited above:

What factors influenced performance?

•

The Trust received positive contributions from all information technology sub-sectors during the period. Within the Internet software & services sub-industry, the Trust’s position in Tencent Holdings Ltd. led contributors as the company’s popular chat service continued to garner additional users in China and enterprise contracts with large corporations. The next most significant contributor came from Sony Corp. within household durables, which saw its shares rise on positive earnings results and a favorable earnings forecast. Sony Corp.’s new growth plan includes new stock issuance to fund innovation in its image-sensor and camera modules businesses.

•

The Trust’s position in Microsoft Corp., within the software sub-industry, was the largest detractor for the period. Investors have become more pessimistic about the company’s ability to transition out of a declining PC industry into the booming big-data/cloud space. Within Internet

software & services, Alibaba Group Holding — ADR came under pressure during the six-month period after outperforming for the prior calendar year. The investment advisor believes that the stock remains attractive because of its exposure to the strengthening Chinese consumer, as the company continues to profit from Internet search and e-commerce.

•

Also, during the period, the Trust made use of options, principally written call options on individual stocks, in order to seek enhanced income 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.

•

Over the six-month period, the Trust reduced its exposure to the Internet software & services and semiconductors & semiconductor equipment sub-sectors. The proceeds were used to fund more attractive opportunities in two sub-sectors: electronic equipment, instruments & components, and also communications equipment.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

•

Relative to the MSCI World Information Technology Index, the Trust’s positioning reflected a number of themes. These included idiosyncratic software & services opportunities, particularly in China, to capture the proliferation of internet search demand and e-commerce. In addition, the Trust was overweight in companies successfully transitioning from declining PC-related industries to enterprise-driven big data initiatives. Finally, the portfolio included companies whose industry-leading innovation allows them to consistently re-invent their business models.

Trust Summary as of June 30, 2015			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.

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

Average return.

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 the Trust’s absolute performance based on NAV:

What factors influenced performance?

•

Broadly, U.S. utilities opened 2015 with weak performance, with a rebound in U.S. interest rates and uncertainty over the timing of future Federal Reserve monetary policy actions contributing to poor returns. The electric utilities industry led detractors from the Trust’s performance, including Duke Energy Corp., ITC Holdings Corp. and Edison International. Exposure to the multi-utilities industry also detracted from absolute returns, led by Dominion Resources, Inc. and Sempra Energy. Finally, the Trust’s exposure to master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) within the energy sector negatively affected absolute performance, led by Enterprise Products Partners LP and MarkWest Energy Partners LP.

•

Conversely, the Trust’s exposure to the transportation infrastructure industry within the industrials sector was the largest contributor to absolute performance, led by Atlantia SpA, Flughafen Zurich AG, Japan Airport Terminal Co., and Groupe Eurotunnel SE. Ferrovial SA in the construction & engineering industry also performed strongly

during the period, as did TerraForm Power, Inc. in the renewable electricity industry. Finally, the Trust’s exposure to the road & rail and wireless telecommunication services industries added modestly to absolute returns.

•

Also, during the six-month period, the Trust made use of options, principally written call options on individual stocks, in order to seek enhanced income returns while continuing to participate in the performance of the underlying equities. The Trust’s option writing strategy had a positive impact on performance during period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

•

During the six-month period, the Trust increased its transportation infrastructure exposure, selectively targeting companies that may benefit from signs of economic improvement in Europe and Japan. Additionally, the Trust shifted its utility exposure, initiating positions in gas utility Laclede Group, Inc., electric utility El Paso Electric Co., and multi-utility TECO Energy Inc., while exiting positions in electric utilities Cleco Corp. and OGE Energy Corp. as well as multi-utility MDU Resources Group, Inc.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

•

At period end, the utilities sector accounted for just under one-half of the Trust’s assets, with holdings centered in the U.S. electric and multi-utilities industries. The Trust’s second largest exposure was to MLPs, which represented over a quarter of the Trust’s assets, based on attractive fundamentals and healthy dividend yields in the space. The investment advisor 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 toward 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.

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 instruments 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:

•

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

•

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 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.

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:

•

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

•

As of June 30, 2015, the following tables summarize the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments categorized in the disclosure hierarchy:

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:

•

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

•

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:

•

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

•

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 collectively as the “Trusts” or individually, as a “Trust”:


Fund Name	Herein Referred To As	Organized	Diversification Classification
BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust	BGR	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/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.

The Trusts, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) or its affiliates, are 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


108		SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT		JUNE 30, 2015


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:

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

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

• 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:

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

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

• 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.


		SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT		JUNE 30, 2015		109


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Reorganization costs incurred by BDJ and BCX in connection with their respective reorganizations were expensed by BCX and BDJ.

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 June 30, 2015, 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.

Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price.

Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the official close price 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 (long positions) or ask (short positions). 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


110		SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT		JUNE 30, 2015


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 dates 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., financial futures contracts, 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.

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


		SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT		JUNE 30, 2015		111


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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.

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, if applicable. 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.

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: Certain 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: Certain Trusts may lend their 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, or excess collateral returned by the Trust, on the next business day. During the term of the loan, 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, all of which were classified as common stocks in the Trusts’ Schedules of Investments, 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 June 30, 2015, 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.


112		SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT		JUNE 30, 2015


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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 June 30, 2015, the following table is a summary of the Trusts’ securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under an MSLA:

Collateral with a value of $4,572,208, $396,552, $217,423, $31,761, and $755,976 has been received in connection with securities lending agreements for BGR, CII, BOE, BCX and BST, 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 loaned 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 manage economically, their exposure to certain risks such as equity risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.

Financial Futures Contracts: Certain Trusts invest in long and/or short positions in financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). Financial futures contracts are agreements between the Trusts and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and at a specified date. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, financial futures contracts are settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date.

Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Trusts are required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on a contract’s size and risk profile. The initial margin deposit must then be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for financial futures contracts. 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 variation margin. Variation margin is recorded by the Trusts as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and, if applicable, as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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 or foreign currency exchange rates and the underlying assets.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Certain 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 Trusts, help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments held by the Trusts are denominated. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Trusts 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: Certain 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 less the value of 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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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.

For financial reporting purposes, the Trusts do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

As of June 30, 2015, the Trusts’ derivative assets and liabilities (by type) are as follows:

5. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

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

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	%
BUI	1.00	%

BST pays the Manager a monthly fee of 1.00% of its average daily managed assets. Managed assets are the total assets of the Trust (including any assets attributable to money borrowed for investment purposes) minus the sum of the Trust’s accrued liabilities (other than money borrowed for investment purposes).

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


			Expiration Date
BST	0.20	%		December 31, 2018
	0.15	%		December 31, 2019
	0.10	%		December 31, 2020
	0.05	%		December 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. This voluntary waiver may be reduced or discontinued at any time without notice.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, BST waived $443,700 and BGY waived $212,398 which is included in fees waived by the Manager in the Statements of Operations.

Effective July 1, 2015, the Manager has agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees on the following Trusts as a percentage of average daily net assets as follows:


BGR	0.050	%
BDJ	0.025	%
BOE	0.050	%
BGY	0.100	%

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.

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. These amounts are included in fees waived by the Manager in the Statements of Operations. 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. 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. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the amounts waived were as follows:


BGR	$	5,864
CII	$	8,297
BDJ	$	9,857
BOE	$	5,104
BME	$	2,227

BGY	$	18,173
BCX	$	5,386
BST	$	4,931
BUI	$	3,810

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 each Trust, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by each Trust to the Manager.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 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 January 1, 2015, 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.

The share of securities lending income earned by each Trust is shown as securities lending — affiliated — net in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, each Trust paid BIM the following amounts for securities lending agent services:


BGR	$	10,801
CII	$	1,981
BOE	$	3,784
BME	$	151
BGY	$	6,428
BCX	$	5,233
BST	$	1,293

BUI recorded a payment from an affiliate to compensate for foregone securities lending revenue, which is shown as other income — affiliated 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.

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 six months ended June 30, 2015, the purchase and sale transactions with an affiliated fund in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act were as follows:


	Purchases		Sales
CII	$	7,846,750	$	17,172,283

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’ as of June 30, 2015, inclusive of the open tax years and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Trusts’ financial statements.

As of December 31, 2014 the Trusts had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates as follows:

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, including to pay principal and interest when due (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, 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 the Manager believes 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 June 30, 2015, the Trusts listed below invested a significant portion of their assets in securities in the following sectors:


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

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

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

As of June 30, 2015, the Trusts’ investments listed below had the following industry classifications:


Industry	BOE		BGY
Banks		10%		12%
Pharmaceuticals		8%		12%
Internet Software & Services		7%		3%
Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels		6%		6%
Software		5%		2%
Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment		—		5%

* All other industries held were each less than 5%.

9. Capital Share Transactions:

There are an unlimited number of $0.001 par value common shares of beneficial interest authorized for each Trust, with the exception of CII. 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, BME filed an initial registration statement with the SEC seeking the ability to issue additional Common Shares through an equity shelf program (a “Shelf Offering”), which was declared effective on August 11, 2015. Under the Shelf Offering, BME, subject to market conditions, may raise additional equity capital from time to time in varying amounts and utilizing various offering methods at a net price at or above the BME’s net asset value (“NAV”) per Common Share (calculated within 48 hours of pricing). See Additional Information — Shelf Offering Program for additional information.

Costs incurred by BME in connection with the Shelf Offering are recorded as a deferred charge and amortized over 12 months.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements

The Board of Directors or Trustees, as applicable (each, a “Board,” collectively, the “Boards,” and the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”), of BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust (“BGR”), BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. (“CII”), BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust (“BDJ”), BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust (“BOE”), BlackRock Health Sciences Trust (“BME”), BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust (“BGY”), BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust (“BCX”) and BlackRock Utility and Infrastructure Trust (“BUI” and together with BGR, CII, BDJ, BOE, BME, BGY, and BCX, each a “Fund,” and, collectively, the “Funds”) met in person on April 30, 2015 (the “April Meeting”) and June 11-12, 2015 (the “June Meeting”) to consider the approval of each Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), each Fund’s investment advisor. The Board of each of BGR and BCX also considered the approval of the sub-advisory agreement (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) among the Manager, BlackRock International Limited (the “Sub-Advisor”), and each Fund. 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.”

Activities and Composition of the Board

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

The Agreements

Pursuant to the 1940 Act, each Board is required to consider the continuation of its Advisory Agreement, and with respect to BGR and BCX, its Sub-Advisory Agreement, on an annual basis. The Boards have four quarterly meetings per year, each extending over two days, a fifth one-day meeting to consider specific information surrounding the consideration of renewing the Agreements and additional in-person and telephonic meetings as needed. In connection with this year-long deliberative process, the Boards assessed, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by BlackRock, BlackRock’s personnel and affiliates, including, as applicable; investment management services, administrative, and shareholder services; the oversight of fund service providers; marketing services; risk oversight; compliance; and ability to meet applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

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

The Boards have engaged in an ongoing strategic review with BlackRock of opportunities to consolidate funds and of BlackRock’s commitment to investment performance. BlackRock also furnished information to the Boards in response to specific questions. These questions covered issues such as: BlackRock’s profitability; investment performance; funds trading at a discount; subadvisory and advisory relationships with other clients (including mutual funds sponsored by third parties); fund size; portfolio manager’s investments in the funds they manage; and management fee levels and breakpoints. The Boards further discussed with BlackRock: BlackRock’s management structure; portfolio turnover; BlackRock’s portfolio manager compensation and performance accountability; marketing support for the funds; services provided to the funds by BlackRock affiliates; and BlackRock’s oversight of relationships with third party service providers.

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

Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements

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

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

At the June Meeting, each Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and its Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2016. The Board of each of BGR and BCX, including the Independent Board Members, also unanimously approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement among the Manager, the Sub-Adviser and its Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2016. In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Boards considered: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of the Funds and BlackRock; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds; (d) the Funds’ costs to investors compared to the costs of Expense Peers and performance compared to the relevant performance comparison as previously discussed; (e) the sharing of potential economies of scale; (f) fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates as a result of its relationship with the Funds; and (g) other factors deemed relevant by the Board Members.

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

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by BlackRock: The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and the resulting performance of the Funds. Throughout the year, the Boards compared the Funds’ performance to the performance of a comparable group of closed-end funds, relevant benchmark, and performance metrics, as applicable. The Boards met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment activities, including the senior investment officers. Each Board also reviewed the materials provided by its Fund’s portfolio management team discussing the Fund’s performance and the Fund’s investment objective(s), strategies and outlook.

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

Funds are ranked by Lipper in quartiles, ranging from first to fourth, where first is the most desirable quartile position and fourth is the least desirable.


		SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT		JUNE 30, 2015		129


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

In addition to advisory services, the Boards considered the quality of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided to the Funds. BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Funds with certain services (in addition to any such services provided to the Funds by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Funds. In particular, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Funds with the following administrative services including, among others: (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus and the statement of additional information in connection with the initial public offering, periodic shareholder reports, and with respect to BME, registration statements in connection with the Fund’s equity shelf program; (ii) preparing communications with analysts to support secondary market trading of the Funds; (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; (viii) furnishing analytical and other support to assist the Boards in their consideration of strategic issues such as the merger, consolidation or repurposing of certain closed-end funds; and (ix) performing other administrative functions necessary for the operation of the Funds, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements and call center services. The Boards reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, shareholder services, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

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

In evaluating performance, the Boards recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot of a period or as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce significantly different results. Further, the Boards recognized that it is possible that long-term performance can be adversely affected by even one period of significant underperformance so that a single investment decision or theme has the ability to affect long-term performance disproportionately.

The Board of BUI noted that for each of the one-year, three-year and since-inception periods reported, BUI exceeded its customized benchmark. The since inception period is as of the customized benchmark creation date. BlackRock believes that performance relative to the customized benchmark is an appropriate performance metric for BUI.

The Board of BME noted that for each of the one-year, three-year and since-inception periods reported, BME exceeded, exceeded and underperformed its customized benchmark. The since inception period is as of the customized benchmark creation date. BlackRock believes that performance relative to the customized benchmark is an appropriate performance metric for BME.

The Board of BCX noted that for each of the one-year and since-inception periods reported, BCX exceeded and underperformed, respectively, its customized benchmark. The since inception period is as of the customized benchmark creation date. BlackRock believes that performance relative to the customized benchmark is an appropriate performance metric for BCX.

The Board of each of BOE and BGY noted that for each of the one-year, three-year and since-inception periods reported, its respective Fund underperformed its customized benchmark. The since inception period is as of the customized benchmark creation date. BlackRock believes that performance relative to the customized benchmark is an appropriate performance metric for its respective Fund. The Board of each of BOE and BGY and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for its respective Fund’s underperformance during these periods. BOE’s and BGY’s Board was informed that, among other things, the primary detractor of performance for these periods was BOE’s and BGY’s overweight bias to Europe, focusing on companies geared for economic recovery in the periphery and improved real estate markets in the U.K. and Ireland. BOE and BGY also had a beta-adjusted overweight bias to Japan, primarily in financial companies poised to benefit from the reflationary policies of the Bank of Japan. Additionally, BOE’s and BGY’s notable underweight bias to emerging markets detracted from each Fund’s performance.

The Board of BGR noted that for each of the one-year, three-year and since-inception periods reported, BGR underperformed its customized benchmark. The since inception period is as of the customized benchmark creation date. BlackRock believes that performance relative to the customized benchmark is an appropriate performance metric for BGR. The Board of BGR and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for BGR’s underperformance during these periods. BGR’s Board was informed that, among other things, performance was challenged over the three-year and since-inception periods, as BGR’s investment strategy was previously positioned for an upward trending energy market. Over the one-year period,


130		SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT		JUNE 30, 2015


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

the underperformance is primarily attributable to energy companies that displayed greater relative sensitivity to the significant oil price fall in the second half of 2014, to some of which BGR had overweight exposure.

The Board of CII noted that for each of the one-year, three-year and since-inception periods reported, CII underperformed its customized benchmark. The since inception period is as of the customized benchmark creation date. BlackRock believes that performance relative to the customized benchmark is an appropriate performance metric for CII. The Board of CII and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for CII’s underperformance during these periods. CII’s Board was informed that, among other things, poor stock selection was the key driver of underperformance relative to the customized benchmark.

The Board of BDJ noted that for each of the one-year, three-year and since-inception periods reported, BDJ underperformed its customized benchmark. The since inception period is as of the customized benchmark creation date. BlackRock believes that performance relative to the customized benchmark is an appropriate performance metric for BDJ. The Board of BDJ and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for BDJ’s underperformance during these periods. BDJ’s Board was informed that, among other things, the largest detractor from relative performance over these periods was BDJ’s underweight and stock selection in healthcare and information technology.

The Board of each of BOE, BGY, BDJ, CII, and BGR and BlackRock also discussed BlackRock’s strategy for improving its respective Fund’s performance and BlackRock’s commitment to providing the resources necessary to assist its respective Fund’s portfolio managers in seeking to do so.

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

C. Consideration of the Advisory/Management Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Funds: Each Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed its Fund’s contractual management fee rate compared with the other funds in its Lipper category. The contractual management fee rate represents a combination of the advisory fee and any administrative fees, before taking into account any reimbursements or fee waivers. Each Board also compared its Fund’s total expense ratio, as well as its actual management fee rate as a percentage of total assets, to those of other funds in its Lipper category. The total expense ratio represents a fund’s total net operating expenses, excluding any investment related expenses. The total expense ratio gives effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers that benefit a fund, and the actual management fee rate gives effect to any management fee reimbursements or waivers that benefit a fund. The Boards 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 and sub-advised mutual funds.

The Boards received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitability methodology and were also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to the Funds. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to the Funds and other funds the Boards currently oversee for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the prior two years. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to certain other U.S. fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Boards recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds managed, precision of expense allocations and business mix. As a result, calculating and comparing profitability at individual fund levels is difficult.

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

In addition, the Boards considered the cost of the services provided to the Funds by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating to the management of the Funds and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of its analysis, the Boards reviewed BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Funds. The Boards may periodically receive and review information from independent third parties as part of their annual evaluaton. BlackRock retained an independent third party to evaluate its cost allocation methodologies in the context of BlackRock’s 1940 Act Fund business. The Boards considered the results of that evaluation in connection with Blackrock’s profitability reporting. The Boards also considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the


		SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT		JUNE 30, 2015		131


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

Boards. The Boards further considered factors including but not limited to BlackRock’s commitment of time, assumption of risk and liability profile in servicing the Funds in contrast to what is required of BlackRock with respect to other products with similar investment mandates across the open-end fund, ETF, closed-end fund, sub-advised mutual fund and institutional account product channels, as applicable.

The Board of BGR noted that BGR’s contractual management fee rate ranked third out of four funds, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked in the third quartile, relative to BGR’s Expense Peers. The Board of BGR determined that BGR’s contractual management fee rate and total expense ratio were appropriate in light of the median contractual management fee rate and median total expense ratio paid by BGR’s Expense Peers. After discussions between BGR’s Board, including the Independent Board Members, and BlackRock, BGR’s Board and BlackRock agreed to a voluntary advisory fee waiver. This waiver was effective on July 1, 2015.

The Board of CII noted that CII’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the first quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked in the first quartile, relative to CII’s Expense Peers.

The Board of BDJ noted that BDJ’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the first quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked in the first quartile, relative to BDJ’s Expense Peers. After discussions between BDJ’s Board, including the Independent Board Members, and BlackRock, BDJ’s Board and BlackRock agreed to a voluntary advisory fee waiver. This waiver was effective on July 1, 2015.

The Board of BOE noted that BOE’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the second quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked in the second quartile relative to BOE’s Expense Peers. After discussions between BOE’s Board, including the Independent Board Members, and BlackRock, BOE’s Board and BlackRock agreed to a voluntary advisory fee waiver. This waiver was effective on July 1, 2015.

The Board of BME noted that BME’s contractual management fee rate ranked first out of three funds, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio ranked first out of four funds and in the first quartile, respectively, relative to BME’s Expense Peers.

The Board of BGY noted that BGY’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the second quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked in the second quartile, relative to BGY’s Expense Peers. The Board of BGY also noted that BlackRock had voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the advisory fee payable by BGY. After discussions between BGY’s Board, including the Independent Board Members, and BlackRock, BGY’s Board and BlackRock agreed to an increase to the voluntary advisory fee waiver. This waiver increase was effective on July 1, 2015.

The Board of each of BCX and BUI noted that its respective Fund’s contractual management fee rate ranked first out of four funds, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked in the first quartile relative to its respective Fund’s Expense Peers.

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

Based on the Boards’ review and consideration of the issue, the Boards concluded that most closed-end funds do not have fund level breakpoints because closed-end funds generally do not experience substantial growth after the initial public offering. They are typically priced at scale at a fund’s inception. The Board of BME noted that although BME may from time-to-time make additional share offerings pursuant to its equity shelf program, the growth of BME’s assets will occur primarily through the appreciation of its investment portfolio.

E. Other Factors Deemed Relevant by the Board Members: The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, also took into account other ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates may derive from their respective relationships with the Funds, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios and risk management personnel, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates as service providers to the Funds, including securities lending and cash management services. The Boards also considered BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Boards also noted that BlackRock may use and benefit from third party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain registered fund transactions to assist in managing all or a number of its other client accounts. The Boards further noted that 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 Agreements, the Boards also received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Boards received reports from BlackRock which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year.

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

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

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

Conclusion

Each Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and its Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2016. The Board of each of BGR and BCX, including the Independent Board Members, also unanimously approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement among the Manager, the Sub-Adviser and its Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2016. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, each Board, including the Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of its Fund and its shareholders. In arriving at its decision to approve the Agreements for its Fund, 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. The contractual fee arrangements for the Funds reflect the results of several years of review by the Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and BlackRock. As a result, the Board Members’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.

Additional Information (concluded)

Shelf Offering Program

From time-to-time, BME may seek to raise additional equity capital through an equity shelf program (a “Shelf Offering”). In a Shelf Offering, BME may, subject to market conditions, raise additional equity capital by issuing new Common Shares from time to time in varying amounts at a net price at or above BME’s net asset value (“NAV”) per Common Share (calculated within 48 hours of pricing). While any such Shelf Offering may allow BME to pursue additional investment opportunities without the need to sell existing portfolio investments, it could also entail risks - including that the issuance of additional Common Shares may limit the extent to which the Common Shares are able to trade at a premium to NAV in the secondary market.

BME filed a final prospectus with the SEC in connection with its Shelf Offerings, which was declared effective on August 11, 2015. This report and the prospectus are not offers to sell Fund Common Shares or solicitations to buy Fund Common Shares in any jurisdiction where such offers or sales are not permitted. The prospectus contains important information about BME, including its investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Investors are urged to read the prospectus of BME carefully and in its entirety before investing. A copy of the final prospectus for BME can be obtained from BlackRock at http://www.blackrock.com.

Dividend Policy

Each Trust’s dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of its net investment income to its shareholders on a monthly basis. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, the dividends paid by the Trusts for any particular month may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Trusts during such month. The portion of dividend distributions that exceeds a Trust’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which are measured on a tax basis, will constitute a nontaxable return of capital. Dividend distributions in excess of a Trust’s taxable income and net capital gains, but not in excess of a Trust’s earnings and profits, will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income and will not constitute a nontaxable return of capital. The Trusts’ current accumulated but undistributed net investment income, if any, is disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, which comprises part of the financial information included in this report.
