On
December 5, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted judgment in favor of a plaintiffs claim for rescission of resolutions by sixteen closed-end funds that are
Maryland corporations and statutory trusts, including certain BlackRock-sponsored funds domiciled in Maryland, that opted in to elect to be subject to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. The district court declared that the
funds elections violate Section 18(i) of the 1940 Act. The funds have appealed the district courts decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In light of the district courts decision, the Maryland Control
Share Acquisition Act will not apply to each Funds 2024 and 2025 annual shareholder meetings.
