ANNUAL REPORT |
JULY 31, 2013
|
One year ago,
risk assets (such as equities) were on the rise as weakening
global economic data spurred increasing optimism that the world’s
largest central banks would intervene to stimulate growth.
This much-anticipated monetary policy easing ultimately came
in September when the European Central Bank (“ECB”)
and the US Federal Reserve announced their plans for increasing
global liquidity. Although financial markets worldwide were
buoyed by these aggressive policy actions, risk assets weakened
later in the fall of 2012. Global trade slowed as many European
countries fell into recession and growth continued to decelerate
in China. In the United States, investors became increasingly
concerned about the “fiscal cliff” of tax increases
and spending cuts that had been scheduled to take effect at
the beginning of 2013. High levels of global market volatility
persisted through year-end due to fears that bipartisan gridlock
would preclude a timely resolution, putting the US economy
at high risk for recession. As 2013 began, the worst of the
fiscal cliff was averted with a last-minute tax deal.
Investors shook
off the nerve-wracking finale to 2012 and the New Year started
with a powerful relief rally. Money that had been pulled to
the sidelines amid year-end tax-rate uncertainty poured back
into the markets in January. Key indicators signaling modest
but broad-based improvements in the world’s major economies
helped propel the rally. Underlying this aura of comfort was
the absence of negative headlines from Europe. Global equities
surged, while rising US Treasury yields pressured high quality
fixed income assets. (Bond prices move in the opposite direction
of yields.)
However, February
brought a slowdown in global economic momentum and the pace
of the rally moderated. In the months that followed, US equities
outperformed international markets, as the US economic recovery
showed greater stability compared to most other regions. Slow,
but positive, growth in the United States was sufficient to
support corporate earnings, while uncomfortably high unemployment
reinforced investors’ expectations that the US Federal
Reserve would keep interest rates low. International markets
experienced higher levels of volatility as political instability
in Italy and a severe banking crisis in Cyprus reminded investors
that the eurozone was still vulnerable to a number of macro
risks, while a poor outlook for European economies also dampened
sentiment. Emerging markets significantly lagged the rest of
the world as growth in these economies (particularly China
and Brazil) fell short of expectations.
After peaking
in late May, financial markets broadly sold off due to concerns
about the US Federal Reserve reducing monetary stimulus. Volatility
picked up considerably as investors abruptly retreated from
risk assets and a sharp and dramatic rise in US Treasury yields
resulted in tumbling prices for higher-quality fixed income
investments. The downswing bottomed out in late June as a more
dovish tone from the US central bank served to quell the volatility
in interest rates, while improving economic data and a positive
outlook for corporate earnings helped the markets regain strength
in July, with major US equity indices regularly hitting new
record highs.
Despite the
swings in the markets in the second quarter, most risk asset
classes generated positive returns for the 6- and 12-month
periods ended July 31, 2013. US equities were particularly
strong. International equities also performed well, although
political and economic uncertainty in Europe resulted in less
impressive gains for the last six months. Emerging markets
suffered the impact of slowing growth and concerns about a
shrinking global money supply. Extreme levels of interest rate
volatility in the final months of the period resulted in poor
performance for fixed income markets, especially US Treasury
bonds and other higher quality sectors such as tax-exempt municipals
and investment grade corporate bonds. The high yield sector
performed relatively better as demand continued to be supported
by investors’ ongoing search for income in the low-rate
environment. Short-term interest rates remained near zero,
keeping yields on money market securities near historical lows.
Market conditions
remain volatile, and investors still face a number of uncertainties
in the current environment. At BlackRock, we believe investors
need to think globally and extend their scope across a broader
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 www.blackrock.com for
further insight about investing in today’s world.

Municipal Market Overview |
|
For the Reporting Period Ended July 31, 2013
Municipal Market Conditions
During the majority of the period, municipal bond supply was met
with strong demand as investors were starved for yield in the low-rate, low-return environment. Investors poured into municipal bond mutual funds,
favoring long-duration and high-yield funds as they tend to provide higher levels of income.
However, municipal bond funds saw robust
outflows in the last three months of the period, leaving net flows essentially flat for the 12-month period as a whole (based on
data from the Investment Company Institute). Market conditions turned less favorable in May when signals from the US Federal Reserve
suggesting a retrenchment of its bond-buying stimulus program led to rising interest rates and waning demand. (Bond prices fall
as rates rise.) High levels of interest rate volatility resulted in a sharp curtailment of tax-exempt issuance in May, June and
July. However, from a historical perspective, total new issuance for the 12 months ended July 31, 2013 remained relatively strong
at $358 billion (down modestly from the $369 billion issued in the prior 12-month period). A significant portion of new supply
during this period (roughly 60%) was attributable to refinancing activity as issuers took advantage of lower interest rates to
reduce their borrowing costs. Total new supply was also supported by recent activity in the taxable market, where taxable-municipal
issuance was up 58% year-over-year.

A Closer Look at Yields
From July 31, 2012 to July 31, 2013, municipal yields increased by
136 basis points (“bps”) from 2.84% to 4.20% on AAA-rated 30-year municipal bonds, while increasing 101 bps from 1.66% to 2.67% on 10-year
bonds and rising another 62 bps from 0.65% to 1.27% on 5-year issues (as measured by Thomson Municipal Market Data). Overall, the municipal yield curve
remained relatively steep over the 12-month period as the spread between 2- and 30-year maturities widened by 122 bps and the spread between 2- and
10-year maturities widened by 87 bps.
During the same time period, US Treasury rates rose by 109 bps on
30-year and 111 bps on 10-year bonds, while moving up 80 bps in 5-years. Accordingly, tax-exempt municipal bonds moderately outperformed Treasuries in
the short and intermediate portion of the yield curve. This outperformance was driven largely by a supply/demand imbalance within the municipal market
while evidence of a recovering domestic economy coupled with the removal of certain political and tax policy uncertainties pushed interest rates
higher. Additionally, as higher US tax rates began to appear imminent late in 2012, municipal bonds benefited from the increased appeal of tax-exempt
investing. The municipal market continues to be an attractive avenue for investors seeking yield in today’s environment of low absolute rates as
the asset class is known for its lower volatility and preservation of principal with an emphasis on income as tax rates rise.
Financial Conditions of Municipal Issuers Continue to
Improve
Following an extended period of nation-wide austerity and
de-leveraging as states sought to balance their budgets, 13 consecutive quarters of positive revenue growth coupled with the elimination of more than
750,000 jobs in recent years have put state and local governments in a better financial position. Many local municipalities, however, continue to face
increased health care and pension costs passed down from the state level. BlackRock maintains the view that municipal bond defaults will be minimal and
remain in the periphery, and that the overall market is fundamentally sound. We continue to recognize that careful credit research, appropriate
structure and security selection remain imperative amid uncertainty in this fragile economic environment.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging |
|
The Trusts may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and
net asset value (“NAV”) of their common shares (“Common Shares”). However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate
environments.
To obtain leverage, the Trusts issue Auction Market Preferred
Shares (“AMPS”), Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares (“VRDP Shares”), Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares (“VMTP
Shares”) or Remarketable Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares (“RVMTP Shares”) (collectively, “Preferred Shares”).
Preferred Shares pay dividends at prevailing short-term interest rates, and the Trusts invest the proceeds in long-term municipal bonds. In general,
the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the financing cost of assets to be obtained from leverage, which will be based on short-term
interest rates, will normally be lower than the income earned by each Trust on its longer-term portfolio investments. To the extent that the total
assets of each Trust (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, each Trust’s
shareholders will benefit from the incremental net income.
The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from
leverage is paid to shareholders in the form of dividends, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected in the per share NAV. However, in
order to benefit shareholders, the yield curve must be positively sloped; that is, short-term interest rates must be lower than long-term interest
rates. If the yield curve becomes negatively sloped, meaning short-term interest rates exceed long-term interest rates, income to shareholders will be
lower than if the Trusts had not used leverage.
To illustrate these concepts, assume a Trust’s Common Shares
capitalization is $100 million and it issues Preferred Shares for an additional $50 million, creating a total value of $150 million available for
investment in long-term municipal bonds. If prevailing short-term interest rates are 3% and long-term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a
strongly positive slope. In this case, the Trust pays dividends on the $50 million of Preferred Shares based on the lower short-term interest rates. At
the same time, the securities purchased by the Trust with assets received from Preferred Shares issuance earn income based on long-term interest rates.
In this case, the dividends paid to holders of Preferred Shares (“Preferred Shareholders”) are significantly lower than the income earned on
the Trust’s long-term investments, and therefore the holders of Common Shares (“Common Shareholders”) are the beneficiaries of the
incremental net income.
If short-term interest rates rise, narrowing the differential
between short-term and long-term interest rates, the incremental net income pickup will be reduced or eliminated completely. Furthermore, if prevailing
short-term interest rates rise above long-term interest rates, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case, the Trust pays higher short-term
interest rates whereas the Trust’s total portfolio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates.
Furthermore, the value of the Trusts’ portfolio investments
generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can influence the value of portfolio investments. In
contrast, the redemption value of the Trusts’ Preferred Shares does not fluctuate in relation to interest rates. As a result, changes in interest
rates can influence the Trusts’ NAVs positively or negatively in addition to the impact on Trust performance from leverage from Preferred Shares
discussed above.
The Trusts may also leverage their assets through the use of
tender option bond trusts (“TOBs”), as described in Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements. TOB investments generally will provide the
Trusts with economic benefits in periods of declining short-term interest rates, but expose the Trusts to risks during periods of rising short-term
interest rates similar to those associated with Preferred Shares issued by the Trusts, as described above. Additionally, fluctuations in the market
value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB trust may adversely affect each Trust’s NAV per share.
The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased income
to the Trusts and Common Shareholders, but as described above, it also creates risks as short- or long-term interest rates fluctuate. Leverage also
will generally cause greater changes in the Trusts’ NAVs, market prices and dividend rates than comparable portfolios without leverage. If the
income derived from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, the Trusts’ net income will be greater
than if leverage had not been used. Conversely, if the income from the securities purchased is not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, each
Trust’s net income will be less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount available for distribution to Common Shareholders
will be reduced. Each Trust may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values in order to comply with
regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of leverage instruments, which may cause a Trust to incur losses.
The use of leverage may limit each Trust’s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies, such as in
the case of certain restrictions imposed by rating agencies that rate the Preferred Shares issued by the Trusts. Each Trust will incur expenses in
connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by Common Shareholders and may reduce income to the Common Shares.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
“1940 Act”), the Trusts are permitted to issue senior securities in the form of equity securities (e.g., Preferred Shares) up to 50% of their
total managed assets (each Trust’s total assets less the sum by its accrued liabilities). In addition, each Trust voluntarily limits its economic
leverage to 50% of its total managed assets for Trusts with AMPS or 45% for Trusts with VRDP Shares, VMTP Shares or RVMTP Shares. As of July 31, 2013,
the Trusts had economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs as a percentage of their total managed assets as follows:

Derivative Financial Instruments |
|
The Trusts may invest in various derivative financial instruments,
including financial futures contracts and options, as specified in Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic
leverage. Such 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 hedge market and/or interest rate risks. Derivative financial instruments 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 require a Trust to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune
times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation a Trust can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to
shareholders or may cause a Trust to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. The Trusts’ investments in these instruments are discussed
in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

BlackRock California
Municipal Income Trust
|
Trust Overview
BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust’s (BFZ) (the
“Trust”) investment objective is to provide current income exempt from regular US federal income and California income taxes. The Trust
seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in municipal obligations exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest
may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax) and California income taxes. The Trust invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of
its assets in municipal obligations that are investment grade quality. 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.
Performance
• |
|
For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2013, the Trust returned
(13.17)% based on market price and (5.81)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds category posted an
average return of (12.17)% based on market price and (4.63)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust moved from a
premium to NAV to a discount by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The
following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. |
• |
|
The Trust posted a negative return as bond prices broadly declined
in the rising interest rate environment. The Trust’s exposure to bonds with longer maturities, which tend to have higher durations (greater
sensitivity to interest rate movements), particularly hurt performance during the period. Additionally, leverage on the Trust’s assets achieved
through the use of tender option bonds amplified the negative effect of rising rates on the Trust’s holdings. As rates rose rather significantly
in the latter part of the period, pushing bond prices down indiscriminately, California school districts and the utilities sector were especially
exposed to price depreciation. To a degree, this represented an unwinding of the positive performance in these segments when rates fell in prior
periods. |
• |
|
While the Trust’s cash reserves were generally maintained at
a minimal level, to the extent reserves were held, the cash holdings provided liquidity to the Trust and held their value as interest rates rose during
the period. Additionally, the Trust’s use of derivatives to hedge against interest rate risk helped performance. Specifically, short positions in
US Treasury financial futures enhanced results as rates increased during the period. |

Trust Overview
BlackRock Florida Municipal 2020 Term Trust’s (BFO) (the
“Trust”) investment objectives are to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax and Florida intangible personal
property tax and to return $15.00 per common share (the initial offering price per share) to holders of common shares on or about December 31, 2020.
The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes
(except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax) and Florida intangible personal property tax. The Trust invests at
least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds that are investment grade quality at the time of investment. The Trust actively manages the maturity of its
bonds to seek to have a dollar weighted average effective maturity approximately equal to the Trust’s maturity date. The Trust may invest directly
in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. Effective January 1, 2007, the Florida intangible personal property tax was
repealed.
No
assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective
will be achieved.

For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2013, the Trust returned
1.73% based on market price and 0.12% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds category posted an
average return of (14.04)% based on market price and (6.25)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to
NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following
discussion relates to performance based on NAV. |
• |
|
Positive performance was derived mainly from the Trust’s
coupon income component and exposure to pre-refunded bonds with terms of less than five years as investors fled longer-term investments in favor of
shorter-duration instruments. |
• |
|
The Trust’s duration exposure (sensitivity to interest rate
movements) detracted from performance as tax-exempt municipal rates increased significantly during the period. (Bond prices fall when yields rise.) The
Trust’s credit exposure had a negative impact on results as spreads widened during the period (interest rates on lower quality bonds increased
more than on higher quality municipal bonds). Leverage on the Trust’s assets achieved through the use of tender option bonds amplified the
negative effect of rising rates on the Trust’s holdings. |

Trust Summary as of July 31, 2013 |
BlackRock Municipal
Income Investment Trust
|
Trust Overview
BlackRock Municipal Income Investment Trust’s (BBF) (the
“Trust”) investment objective is to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax and Florida intangible personal
property tax. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except
that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Trust invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds that are
investment grade quality at the time of investment. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
Due to the repeal of the Florida intangible personal property tax, the Board approved an amended policy in September 2008 allowing the Trust the
flexibility to invest in municipal obligations regardless of geographical location.
No
assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective
will be achieved.
Performance
• |
|
For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2013, the Trust returned
(18.75)% based on market price and (7.56)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds
(Leveraged) category posted an average return of (14.54)% based on market price and (5.78)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of
dividends. The Trust moved from a premium to NAV to a discount by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and
performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. |
• |
|
The Trust’s longer duration holdings (those with greater
sensitivity to interest rate movements) hindered results as the yield curve began to steepen in 2013 (rates on longer-dated bonds rose more than rates
on shorter-dated securities). This especially impacted the Trust’s holdings in the water and sewer, utilities, transportation and education
sectors. Leverage on the Trust’s assets achieved through the use of tender option bonds amplified the negative effect of rising rates on the
Trust’s holdings. The Trust’s holdings of Puerto Rico Sales Tax Revenue Bonds had a negative impact on performance as the continued decline
of Puerto Rico’s economy and concerns about credit rating agency downgrades resulted in falling prices across Puerto Rico securities. |
• |
|
Contributing positively to the Trust’s performance was its
use of derivatives to hedge against interest rate risk. Specifically, short positions in US Treasury financial futures enhanced results as interest
rates increased during the period. Additionally, the Trust’s holdings in pre-refunded bonds with terms of up to five years added to returns as
investors seeking protection amid interest rate volatility moved down the yield curve. |

Target Term Trust
|
Trust Overview
BlackRock Municipal Target Term Trust’s (BTT) (the
“Trust”) investment objectives are to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax (but which may be subject to the
federal alternative minimum tax in certain circumstances) and to return $25.00 per common share (the initial offering price per share) to holders of
common shares on or about December 31, 2030. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal
bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Trust invests at least 80%
of its assets in municipal bonds that are investment grade quality at the time of investment. The Trust actively manages the maturity of its bonds to
seek to have a dollar weighted average effective maturity approximately equal to the Trust’s maturity date. 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.
Performance
• |
|
For the period beginning with the Trust’s initial trading
date on August 30, 2012 through July 31, 2013, the Trust returned (23.05)% based on market price and (18.00)% based on NAV. For the same period, the
closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of (13.78)% based on market price and
(6.37)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust ended the period trading at a discount to NAV, which accounts for the
difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. |
• |
|
The Trust’s duration exposure (sensitivity to interest rate
movements) detracted from performance as tax-exempt municipal rates increased significantly during the period. (Bond prices fall when yields rise.)
Exposure to the intermediate part of the yield curve hurt returns as rates increased most in the 15- to 22-year range of the curve. The Trust’s
credit exposure also had a negative impact on results as spreads widened during the period. Leverage on the Trust’s assets achieved through the
use of tender option bonds amplified the negative effect of rising rates on the Trust’s holdings. |
• |
|
The Trust’s position in an option on US Treasury futures as a
strategy for hedging interest rate risk contributed positively to performance. Additionally, falling bond prices during the period provided the Trust
an opportunity to improve its overall coupon structure and increase book yields. |

Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest

Performance
• |
|
For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2013, the Trust returned
(17.95)% based on market price and (5.82)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper New Jersey Municipal Debt Funds category posted an
average return of (16.01)% based on market price and (5.78)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust moved from a
premium to NAV to a discount by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The
following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. |
• |
|
The Trust’s longer duration holdings (those with greater
sensitivity to interest rate movements) hindered results as the yield curve began to steepen in 2013 (rates on longer-dated bonds rose more than rates
on shorter-dated securities). This especially impacted the Trust’s holdings in the water and sewer, utilities, transportation and education
sectors. Leverage on the Trust’s assets achieved through the use of tender option bonds amplified the negative effect of rising rates on
theTrust’s holdings. The Trust’s holdings of Puerto Rico Sales Tax Revenue Bonds had a negative impact on performance as the continued
decline of Puerto Rico’s economy and concerns about credit rating agency downgrades resulted in falling prices across Puerto Rico
securities. |
• |
|
Contributing positively to the Trust’s performance was its
use of derivatives to hedge against interest rate risk. Specifically, short positions in US Treasury financial futures enhanced results as interest
rates increased during the period. Additionally, the Trust’s holdings in pre-refunded bonds with terms of up to six years added to returns as
investors seeking protection amid interest rate volatility moved down the yield curve. |

Trust Summary as of July 31, 2013 |
BlackRock New York
Municipal Income Trust
|
Trust Overview
BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust’s (BNY) (the
“Trust”) investment objective is to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax and New York State and New York City
personal income taxes. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes
(except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax) and New York State and New York City personal income taxes. The Trust
invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds that are investment grade quality at the time of investment. 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.
Performance
• |
|
For the 12-month period ended July 31, 2013, the Trust returned
(16.73)% based on market price and (8.18)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds category posted an
average return of (14.17)% based on market price and (6.42)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust moved from a
premium to NAV to a discount by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The
following discussion relates to performance based on NAV. |
• |
|
The Trust’s long duration posture (sensitivity to interest
rate movements) was detrimental to performance as rates increased over the period. (Bond prices fall when yields rise.) The Trust’s holdings were
more concentrated on the long end of the yield curve which hurt returns as the yield curve steepened (rates on longer-dated bonds rose more than rates
on shorter-dated bonds). The Trust’s exposure to Puerto Rico credits hurt performance as the credit quality of the island’s municipal issuers
has deteriorated and the bonds have underperformed. The Trust’s zero-coupon holdings, which have longer durations for their respective maturities,
also negatively impacted performance. Additionally, leverage on the Trust’s assets achieved through the use of tender option bonds amplified the
negative effect of rising rates on the Trust’s holdings. |
• |
|
Contributing positively to performance was the Trust’s income
generated from coupon payments on its fully invested portfolio of tax-exempt municipal bonds. |
|
|
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

For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications
used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. These definitions may not apply
for purposes of this report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. |

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation
techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
|
• |
|
|
|
Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations 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) |
|
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
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. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment
and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy
regarding valuation of investments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

For
Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more
widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this
report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. |

|
|
|
Fair
Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized
into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
|
• |
|
|
|
Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations 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) |
|
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
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. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not
necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation
of investments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

Fair
Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized
into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
|
• |
|
|
|
Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations 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) |
|
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
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. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not
necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation
of investments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

For
Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more
widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this
report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. |

Fair
Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized
into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
|
• |
|
|
|
Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations 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) |
|
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
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. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not
necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation
of investments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

For
Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more
widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this
report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. |

Fair
Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized
into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
|
• |
|
|
|
Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations 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) |
|
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
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. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not
necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation
of investments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

For
Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more
widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this
report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. |

Fair
Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized
into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
|
• |
|
|
|
Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations 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) |
|
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
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. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and is not
necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation
of investments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

Notes to Financial Statements |

1. Organization:
BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust (“BFZ”),
BlackRock Municipal Income Investment Trust (“BBF”), BlackRock Municipal Target Term Trust (“BTT”), BlackRock New Jersey Municipal
Income Trust (“BNJ”), BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust (“BNY”)(collectively, the “Income Trusts”) and BlackRock
Florida Municipal 2020 Term Trust (“BFO”) are organized as Delaware statutory trusts. The Income Trusts and BFO are referred to herein
collectively as the “Trusts.” The Trusts are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as
non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies. The Board of Trustees of the Trusts are collectively referred to throughout this report as
the “Board of Trustees” or the “Board”, and the trustees thereof are collectively referred to throughout this report as
“Trustees”. The Trusts determine and make available for publication the NAVs of their Common Shares on a daily basis.
Investment operations for BTT commenced on August 30, 2012. Prior
to commencement of operations, BTT had no operations other than those relating to organizational matters and the sale of 5,571 Common Shares on August
16, 2011 to BlackRock Holdco 2, Inc., an affiliate of BTT, for $133,008.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The Trusts’ financial statements are prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US 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. The following is a summary of the
significant accounting policies followed by the Trusts:
Valuation: US 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 of the Trusts. 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.
Municipal investments (including commitments to purchase such
investments on a “when-issued” basis) are valued on the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services. In determining the value of
a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers,
pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments and information with respect to various relationships between investments. Financial
futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at NAV
each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair
value.
With exchange traded purchased options and futures, 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, the credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse.
Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange traded futures with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s
customer accounts. 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 allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in
losses to the Trusts.
In the event that 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 Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to
determine the price that each Trust might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair
value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate deem 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 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, a regular review 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 Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly
basis.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the
1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that the Trusts either deliver collateral
or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., TOBs and financial futures
ANNUAL REPORT |
JULY 31, 2013 |

|
|
|
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
|
contracts), the Trusts will, consistent with SEC rules and/or
certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market
value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with
certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, a Fund engaging in such transactions may have requirements to deliver/deposit securities to/with an
exchange or broker-dealer as collateral for certain investments.
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. Interest income,
including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment
income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. 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 nontaxable return of capital.
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 character and timing of dividends and
distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Dividends and distributions to Preferred
Shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note 9.
Income Taxes: 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
its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Each Trust files US federal and various state and local tax
returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations for BFZ, BFO, BBF, BNJ and BNY US federal tax returns
remains open for each of the four years ended July 31, 2013. The statute of limitations for BTT US federal tax return remains open for the year ended
July 31, 2013. The statutes of limitations on each Trust’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the
jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Recent Accounting Standards: In December 2011, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance that will expand current disclosure requirements on the offsetting of
certain assets and liabilities. The new disclosures will be required for investments and derivative financial instruments subject to master netting or
similar agreements which are eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will require an entity to disclose both gross and net
information about such investments and transactions in the financial statements. In January 2013, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies which
investments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements. The scope of the disclosure requirements for offsetting will be
limited to derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending
transactions. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact, if any, of this guidance on the Trusts’ financial statement disclosures.
Deferred Compensation Plan: Under the Deferred Compensation
Plan (the “Plan”) approved by each Trust’s Board, the independent Trustees (“Independent Trustees”) may defer a portion of
their annual complex-wide compensation. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common
shares of certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Trustees. This has the same economic effect for the Independent Trustees
as if the Independent Trustees had invested the deferred amounts directly in certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds.
The Plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent
general unsecured claims against the general assets of each Trust. Deferred compensation liabilities are included in officer’s and Trustees’
fees payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will remain as a liability of the Trusts until such amounts are distributed in accordance
with the Plan.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Trust are charged to
that Trust. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate
methods.
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:
Zero-Coupon Bonds: The Trusts may invest in zero-coupon
bonds, which are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may
experience greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obligations which provide for regular interest payments.

Forward Commitments and When-Issued Delayed Delivery
Securities: The Trusts may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement
of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. The Trusts may purchase securities under
such conditions with the intention of actually acquiring them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement
date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Trusts may be required to pay more at settlement than the security
is worth. In addition, the Trusts are not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery
basis, the Trusts assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. In the event of default
by the counterparty, the Trusts’ maximum amount of loss is the unrealized appreciation of unsettled when-issued transactions, which is shown in
the Schedules of Investments.
Municipal Bonds Transferred to TOBs: The Trusts leverage
their assets through the use of TOBs. A TOB is a special purpose entity established by a third party sponsor, into which a fund, or an agent on behalf
of a fund, transfers municipal bonds into a trust (“TOB Trust”). Other funds managed by the investment advisor may also contribute municipal
bonds to a TOB into which a Trust has contributed bonds. A TOB typically issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate
certificates (“TOB Trust Certificates”), which are sold to third party investors, and residual certificates (“TOB Residuals”),
which are generally issued to the participating funds that contributed the municipal bonds to the TOB Trust. If multiple funds participate in the same
TOB, the rights and obligations under the TOB Residual will be shared among the funds ratably in proportion to their participation.
The TOB Residuals held by a Trust include the right of a Trust (1)
to cause the holders of a proportional share of the TOB Trust Certificates to tender their certificates at par plus accrued interest upon the
occurrence of certain mandatory tender events defined in the TOB agreements, and (2) to transfer, subject to a specified number of days’ prior
notice, a corresponding share of the municipal bonds from the TOB to a Trust. The TOB may also be collapsed without the consent of a Trust, as the TOB
Residual holder, upon the occurrence of certain termination events as defined in the TOB agreements. Such termination events may include the bankruptcy
or default of the municipal bond, a substantial downgrade in credit quality of the municipal bond, the inability of the TOB to obtain renewal of the
liquidity support agreement, a substantial decline in market value of the municipal bond and a judgment or ruling that interest on the municipal bond
is subject to federal income taxation. Upon the occurrence of a termination event, the TOB would generally be liquidated in full with the proceeds
typically applied first to any accrued fees owed to the trustee, remarketing agent and liquidity provider, and then to the holders of the TOB Trust
Certificates up to par plus accrued interest owed on the TOB Trust Certificates, with the balance paid out to the TOB Residual holder. During the year
ended July 31, 2013, no TOBs in which the Trusts participated were terminated without the consent of the Trusts.
The cash received by the TOB from the sale of the TOB Trust
Certificates, less transaction expenses, is paid to a Trust. The Trust typically invests the cash received in additional municipal bonds. Each
Trust’s transfer of the municipal bonds to a TOB Trust is accounted for as a secured borrowing; therefore, the municipal bonds deposited into a
TOB are presented in the Trusts’ Schedules of Investments and the TOB Trust Certificates are shown in other liabilities in the Statements of
Assets and Liabilities. The carrying amount of the Trusts’ payable to the holder of the TOB Trust Certificates, as reported in Statements of
Assets and Liabilities as TOB Trust Certificates, approximates its fair value.
The Trusts may invest in TOBs on either a non-recourse or recourse
basis. TOB Trusts are typically supported by a liquidity facility provided by a bank or other financial institution (the “Liquidity
Provider”) that allows the holders of the TOB Trust Certificates to tender their certificates in exchange for payment from the Liquidity Provider
of par plus accrued interest on any business day prior to the occurrence of the termination events described above. When a Trust invests in TOBs on a
non-recourse basis, and the Liquidity Provider is required to make a payment under the liquidity facility due to a termination event, the Liquidity
Provider will typically liquidate all or a portion of the municipal securities held in the TOB Trust and then fund, on a net basis, the balance, if
any, of the amount owed under the liquidity facility over the liquidation proceeds (the “Liquidation Shortfall”). If a Trust invests in a TOB
on a recourse basis, the Trust will typically enter into a reimbursement agreement with the Liquidity Provider where the Trust is required to repay the
Liquidity Provider the amount of any Liquidation Shortfall. As a result, a Trust investing in a recourse TOB will bear the risk of loss with respect to
any Liquidation Shortfall. If multiple funds participate in any such TOB, these losses will be shared ratably in proportion to their participation. The
recourse TOB Trusts, if any, are identified in the Schedules of Investments.
Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums
and discounts, from the underlying municipal bonds is recorded by the Trusts on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing
and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee services to a TOB are shown as interest expense, fees and amortization of
offering costs in the Statements of Operations. The TOB Trust Certificates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the
option to tender such certificates to the TOB for redemption at par at each reset date. At July 31, 2013, the aggregate value of the underlying
municipal bonds transferred to TOBs, the related liability for TOB Trust Certificates and the range of interest rates on the liability for TOB Trust
Certificates were as follows:

Should short-term interest rates rise, the Trusts’
investments in TOBs may adversely affect the Trusts’ net investment income and dividends to Common Shareholders. Also, fluctuations in the market
value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB may adversely affect the Trusts’ NAVs per share.
4. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Trusts engage in various portfolio investment strategies using
derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Funds and/or to economically hedge their exposure to certain risks such as interest rate risk.
These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.
Financial Futures Contracts: The Trusts purchase and/or
sell financial futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against, changes in interest
rates (interest 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. 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 and are recorded by the Trusts as unrealized appreciation or
depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Trusts record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the
time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the
movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.
Options: The Trusts purchase and write call and put options
to increase or decrease their exposure to underlying instruments (including interest rate 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 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.

instruments categorized by risk exposure:

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.
With exchange traded purchased options and futures, 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, the credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While
offset rights may exist under applicable law, the Trusts do 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. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange
traded futures with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer accounts. While brokers are required to segregate
customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in
the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the
broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Trusts.
5. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with
Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder
and an affiliate, for 1940 Act purposes of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”).
Each Trust entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with
BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Trusts’ investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide
investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of each Trust’s portfolio and provides the
necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Trust. For such services, each Trust pays the
Manager a monthly fee based on a percentage of each Trust’s average weekly net assets except for BTT, which is based on average daily net assets,
at the following annual rates:

BNY |
|
|
|
|

Average weekly net assets are the average daily value of each
Trust’s total assets minus the sum of its accrued liabilities.
The Manager contractually agreed to waive a portion of the
investment advisory fee on BFZ at an annual rate of 0.01% of average weekly net assets through December 31, 2012. For the year ended July 31, 2013, the
Manager waived $35,992, which is included in fees waived by advisor in the Statements of Operations.
The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory
fees by the amount of investment advisory fees each Trust pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds.
However, the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid in connection with each Trust’s
investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. These amounts are included in fees waived by Manager in the Statements of Operations. For
the year ended July 31, 2013, the amounts waived were as follows:

sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays BFM and BIM for
services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by each Trust to the Manager.
Certain officers and/or Trustees of the Trusts are officers and/or
directors 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.

Ordinary income consists primarily of taxable
income recognized from market discount and net short-term capital gains. Additionally, all ordinary income distributions
are comprised of interest related dividends and qualified short-term capital gain dividends for non-US residents and are
eligible for exemption from US withholding tax for nonresident aliens and foreign corporations. |

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis
net unrealized gains (losses) was attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, amortization and accretion
methods of premiums and discounts on fixed income securities, the accrual of income on securities in default, the treatment
of residual interests in tender option bond trusts and the deferral of compensation to Trustees. |

The Trusts have elected to defer certain
qualified late-year losses and recognize such losses in the year ending July 31, 2014. |
As of July 31, 2013, the Trusts had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated

8. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:
BFZ, BFO, BNJ and BNY invest a substantial amount of their assets
in issuers located in a single state or limited number of states. Please see the Schedules of Investments for concentrations in specific states or US
territories.
Many municipalities insure repayment of their bonds, which may
reduce the potential for loss due to credit risk. The market value of these bonds may fluctuate for other reasons, including market perception of the
value of such insurance, and there is no guarantee that the insurer will meet its obligation.
In the normal course of business, the Trusts invest in securities
and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its
obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Trusts may decline in response to certain events, including those directly
involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Trusts; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or
global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Trusts may
be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Trusts have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable
to perform on its commitments. The Trusts manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have
the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which
potentially expose the Trusts to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from
counterparties. The extent of the Trusts’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is
generally approximated by their value recorded in the Trusts’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the
Trusts.
As of July 31, 2013, BFZ and BFO invested a significant portion of
their assets in securities in the County/City/Special District/School District and Utilities sectors. BBF and BNY invested a significant portion of
their assets in securities in the County/City/Special District/School District sector. BNJ invested a significant portion of its assets in securities
in the State sector. BTT invested a significant portion of its assets in the Transportation sector. Changes in economic conditions affecting the
County/City/Special District/School District, State, Utilities and Transportation sectors would have a greater impact on the Trusts and could affect
the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.
9. Capital Share Transactions:
Each Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares,
all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. The par value for each Trust’s Common Shares is $0.001. The Board is authorized, however,
to reclassify any unissued Common Shares to Preferred Shares without approval of Common Shareholders.
At July 31, 2013, 5,571 Common Shares of BTT were owned by
affiliates.
Upon commencement of operations, organization costs associated
with the establishment of the BTT were expensed by BTT. Offering costs incurred in connection with BTT’s offering of Common Shares have been
charged against the proceeds from the initial Common Share offering in the amount of $2,612,000.
Common Shares
For the years shown, shares issued and outstanding increased by
the following amounts as a result of dividend reinvestment:

Shares issued and outstanding remained constant for BFO for the
year ended July 31, 2013 and for the year ended July 31, 2012.
For BTT, shares issued and outstanding for the period August 30,
2012 to July 31, 2013, increased by 62,000,000 from the initial public offering and 8,500,000 from the underwriters’ exercising the over-allotment
option.
Preferred Shares
The Trusts’ Preferred Shares rank prior to the Trusts’
Common Shares as to the payment of dividends by the Trusts and distribution of assets upon dissolution or liquidation of the Trusts. The 1940 Act
prohibits the declaration of any dividend on the Trusts’ Common Shares or the repurchase of the Trusts’ Common Shares if the Trusts fail to
maintain the asset coverage of at least 200% of the liquidation preference of the outstanding Preferred Shares. In addition, pursuant to the Preferred
Shares’ governing instrument, the Trusts are restricted from declaring and paying dividends on classes of shares ranking junior to or on parity
with the Preferred Shares or repurchasing such shares if the Trusts fail to declare and pay dividends on the Preferred Shares, redeem any Preferred
Shares required to be redeemed under the Preferred Shares governing instrument or comply with the basic maintenance amount requirement of the rating
agencies then rating the Preferred Shares.
The holders of Preferred Shares have voting rights equal to the
holders of Common Shares (one vote per share) and will vote together with holders of Common Shares as a single class. However, the holders of Preferred
Shares, voting as a separate class, are also entitled to elect two Trustees for each Trust. In addition, the 1940 Act requires that along with approval
by shareholders that might otherwise be required, the approval of the holders of a majority of any outstanding Preferred Shares, voting separately as a
class would be required to (a) adopt any plan of reorganization that would adversely affect the Preferred Shares, (b) change a Trust’s
sub-classification as a closed-end investment company or change its fundamental investment restrictions or (c) change its business so as to cease to be
an investment company.

VRDP Shares
BBF has issued Series W-7 VRDP Shares, $100,000 liquidation value
per share, in a privately negotiated offering. The VRDP Shares were offered to qualified institutional buyers as defined pursuant to Rule 144A under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and include a liquidity feature, pursuant to a liquidity agreement, that
allows the holders of VRDP Shares to have their shares purchased by the liquidity provider in the event of a failed remarketing. BBF is required to
redeem the VRDP Shares owned by the liquidity provider after six months of continuous, unsuccessful remarketing. Upon the occurrence of the first
unsuccessful remarketing, BBF is required to segregate liquid assets to fund the redemption. The VRDP Shares are subject to certain restrictions on
transfer.

BBF has entered into a fee agreement with the liquidity provider
that required a per annum liquidity fee payable to the liquidity provider. These fees are shown as liquidity fees in the Statements of
Operations.
The initial fee agreement between BBF and the liquidity provider
was for a 364 day term and was scheduled to expire on September 15, 2012 and subsequently extended until March 15, 2013, unless renewed or terminated
in advance. On November 29, 2012, BBF entered into a new fee agreement with an alternate liquidity provider. The new fee agreement is for a 2 year term
and is scheduled to expire on December 4, 2014, unless renewed or terminated in advance. The change in liquidity provider resulted in a mandatory
tender of BBF’s VRDP Shares on November 28, 2012 which were successfully remarketed by the remarketing agent.
In the event the fee agreement is not renewed or is terminated in
advance, and BBF does not enter into a fee agreement with an alternate liquidity provider, the VRDP Shares will be subject to mandatory purchase by the
liquidity provider prior to the termination of the fee agreement. BBF is required to redeem any VRDP Shares purchased by the liquidity provider six
months after the purchase date. Immediately after the purchase of any VRDP Shares by the liquidity provider, BBF is required to begin to segregate
liquid assets with BBF’s custodian to fund the redemption. There is no assurance BBF will replace such redeemed VRDP Shares with any other
preferred shares or other form of leverage.
BBF is required to redeem its VRDP Shares on the maturity date,
unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. Six months prior to the maturity date, BBF is required to begin to segregate liquid assets with the BBF’s
custodian to fund the redemption. In addition, BBF is required to redeem certain of its outstanding VRDP Shares if it fails to maintain certain asset
coverage, basic maintenance amount or leverage requirements.
Subject to certain conditions, VRDP Shares may be redeemed, in
whole or in part, at any time at the option of BBF. The redemption price per VRDP Share is equal to the liquidation value per share plus any
outstanding unpaid dividends. In the event of an optional redemption of VRDP Shares prior to the initial termination date of the fee agreement, BBF
must pay the liquidity provider fees on such redeemed VRDP Shares for the remaining term of the fee agreement up to the initial termination
date.
Dividends on the VRDP Shares are payable monthly at a variable
rate set weekly by the remarketing agent. Such dividend rates are generally based upon a spread over a base rate and cannot exceed a maximum rate. In
the event of a failed remarketing, the dividend rate of the VRDP Shares will be reset to a maximum rate. The maximum rate is determined based on, among
other things, the long-term preferred share rating assigned to the VRDP Shares and the length of time that the VRDP Shares fail to be remarketed. At
the date of issuance, the VRDP Shares were assigned a long-term rating of Aaa from Moody’s and AAA from Fitch. In May 2012, Moody’s completed
the review of its methodology for rating securities issued by registered closed-end funds. As of July 31, 2013, the VRDP Shares were assigned a
long-term rating of Aa1 from Moody’s under its new ratings methodology. The VRDP Shares continue to be assigned a long-term rating of AAA from
Fitch.
The short-term ratings on the VRDP Shares are directly related to
the short-term ratings of the liquidity provider for such VRDP Shares. Changes in the credit quality of the liquidity provider could cause a change in
the short-term credit ratings of the VRDP Shares as rated by Moody’s, Fitch and S&P. A change in the short-term credit rating of the liquidity
provider or the VRDP Shares may adversely affect the dividend rate paid on such shares, although the dividend rate paid on the VRDP Shares is not
directly related based upon either short-term rating. As of July 31, 2013, the short-term ratings of the liquidity provider and the VRDP Shares for BBF
were P-1, F1 and A1 as rated by Moody’s, Fitch and S&P, respectively, which is within the two highest rating categories. The liquidity
provider may be terminated prior to the scheduled termination date if the liquidity provider fails to maintain short-term debt ratings in one of the
two highest rating categories.
For financial reporting purposes, the VRDP Shares are considered
debt of the issuer; therefore, the liquidation value, which approximates fair value, of the VRDP Shares is recorded as a liability in the Statements of
Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends are included in interest expense and fees payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and the
dividends accrued and paid on the VRDP Shares are included as a component of interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the
Statements of Operations. The VRDP Shares are treated as equity for tax purposes. Dividends paid to holders of the VRDP Shares are generally classified
as tax-exempt income for tax-reporting purposes.
BBF may incur remarketing fees of 0.10% on the aggregate principal
amount of all the VRDP Shares, which, if any, are included in remarketing fees on Preferred Shares in the Statements of Operations. All of BBF’s
VRDP Shares that were tendered for remarketing were successfully remarketed, with an annualized dividend rate of 0.26% for the year ended July 31,
2013.

The VMTP Funds are required to redeem their VMTP Shares on the
term date, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased or unless extended. There is no assurance that the term of the Trusts’ VMTP Shares will be
extended or that the Trusts’ VMTP Shares will be replaced with any other preferred shares or other form of leverage upon the redemption or
repurchase of the VMTP Shares. Six months prior to term date, the VMTP Funds are required to begin to segregate liquid assets with the Trusts’
custodian to fund the redemption. In addition, the Trusts are required to redeem certain of their outstanding VMTP Shares if they fail to maintain
certain asset coverage, basic maintenance amount or leverage requirements.
Subject to certain conditions, the Trusts’ VMTP Shares may be
redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the Trusts. The redemption price per VMTP Share is equal to the liquidation value per share
plus any outstanding unpaid dividends and applicable redemption premium. If the Trusts redeem the VMTP Shares on a date that is one year or more prior
to the term date and the VMTP Shares are rated above A1/A+ by Moody’s and Fitch, respectively, then such redemption is subject to a prescribed
redemption premium (up to 3% of the liquidation preference) payable to the holder of the VMTP Shares based on the time remaining to the term date,
subject to certain exceptions for redemptions that are required to maintain minimum asset coverage requirements. The VMTP Shares are subject to certain
restrictions on transfer, and the Trusts may also be required to register the VMTP Shares for sale under the Securities Act under certain
circumstances. In addition, amendments to the VMTP governing document generally require the consent of the holders of VMTP Shares.
Dividends on the VMTP Shares are declared daily and payable
monthly at a variable rate set weekly at a fixed rate spread to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index (SIFMA).
The fixed spread is determined based on the long-term preferred share rating assigned to the VMTP Shares by Moody’s and Fitch. At the date of
issuance, the VMTP Shares were assigned long-term ratings of Aaa from Moody’s and AAA from Fitch. In May 2012, Moody’s completed the review
of its methodology for rating securities issued by registered closed-end funds. As of July 31, 2013, the VMTP Shares were assigned a long-term rating
of Aa2 from Moody’s under its new rating methodology. The VMTP Shares continue to be assigned a long-term rating of AAA from Fitch. The dividend
rate on the VMTP Shares is subject to a step-up spread if the Trusts fail to comply with certain provisions, including, among other things, the timely
payment of dividends, redemptions or gross-up payments, and maintaining certain asset coverage and leverage requirements.
The average annualized dividend rates for the VMTP Shares for the
year ended July 31, 2013 were as follows:

For financial reporting purposes, the VMTP Shares are considered
debt of the issuer; therefore the liquidation value, which approximates fair value, of the VMTP Shares is recorded as a liability in the Statements of
Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends are included in interest expense and fees payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and the
dividends accrued and paid on the VMTP Shares are included as a component of interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the
Statements of Operations. The VMTP Shares are treated as equity for tax purposes. Dividends paid to holders of the VMTP Shares are generally classified
as tax-exempt income for tax-reporting purposes.
VMTP Shares issued and outstanding for BFZ, BNJ and BNY remained
constant for the year ended July 31, 2013.
RVMTP Shares
BTT has offered for issuance Series W-7 RVMTP Shares, $5,000,000
liquidation value per share, in a privately negotiated offering and sale of RVMTP Shares exempt from registration under the Securities Act. BTT has
entered into an agreement with a qualified institutional buyer (the “Purchaser”) to sell up to $750,000,000 in Series W-7 RVMTP Shares to the
Purchaser, and in connection with such agreement, BTT has sold $750,000,000 in RVMTP to the Purchaser as of July 31, 2013.

BTT is required to redeem its RVMTP Shares on the term date or
within six months of an unsuccessful remarketing, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. There is no assurance that BTT’s RVMTP Shares will be
replaced with any other preferred shares or other form of leverage upon the redemption or repurchase of the RVMTP Shares. In addition, BTT is required
to redeem certain of its outstanding RVMTP Shares if it fails to maintain certain asset coverage, basic maintenance amount or leverage
requirements.
Subject to certain conditions, BTT’s RVMTP Shares may be
redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of BTT. The redemption price per RVMTP Share is equal to the liquidation value per share plus
any outstanding unpaid dividends. The RVMTP Shares are subject to certain restrictions on transfer outside of a remarketing. The RVMTP Shares are
subject to remarketing upon 90 days’ notice by holders of the RVMTP Shares and 30 days’ notice by BTT. Each remarketing must be at least
six

months apart from the last remarketing. A holder of RVMTP
Shares may submit notice of remarketing only if such holder requests a remarketing of at least the lesser of (i) $100,000,000 of RVMTP Shares or (ii)
all of the RVMTP Shares held by such holder. Amendments to the RVMTP governing document generally require the consent of the holders of RVMTP
Shares.
Dividends on the RVMTP Shares are declared daily and payable
monthly at a variable rate set weekly at a fixed rate spread to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index (SIFMA).
The initial fixed rate spread was agreed upon by the Purchaser and BTT on the initial date of issuance for the Series W-7 RVMTP Shares. The initial
fixed rate spread may be adjusted at each remarketing or upon the agreement between BTT and all of the holders of the RVMTP Shares. In the event all of
the RVMTP Shares submitted for remarketing are not successfully remarketed, a failed remarketing will occur, and all holders would retain their RVMTP
Shares. In the event of a failed remarketing, the fixed rate spread would be set at the fixed rate spread applicable to such failed remarketing. BTT
has the right to reject any fixed spread determined at a remarketing, and such rejection would result in a failed remarketing and the fixed rate spread
being set at the fixed rate spread applicable to such failed remarketing. The fixed rate spread applicable due to a failed remarketing depends on
whether the remarketing was pursuant to a mandatory or non-mandatory tender. In the case of a failed remarketing following a mandatory tender, the
failed remarketing spread would be the sum of the last applicable spread in effect immediately prior to the failed remarketing date for such failed
remarketing plus 0.75%. In the case of a failed remarketing not associated with a mandatory tender, the failed remarketing spread would be the sum of
the last applicable spread in effect immediately prior to the failed remarketing date for such failed remarketing plus 0.25%. In the event of a failed
remarketing that is not subsequently cured, BTT will be required to redeem the RVMTP Shares subject to such failed remarketing on a date that is
approximately 6 months from the remarketing date for such failed remarketing, provided that no redemption of any RVMTP Share may occur within 1 year of
the date of issuance of such RVMTP Share. At the date of issuance, the RVMTP Shares were assigned long-term ratings of Aa1 from Moody’s and AAA
from Fitch. The dividend rate on the RVMTP Shares is subject to a step-up spread if the Fund fails to comply with certain provisions, including, among
other things, the timely payment of dividends, redemptions or gross-up payments, and maintaining certain asset coverage and leverage
requirements.
There were no RVMTP Shares that were tendered for remarketing
during the period ended July 31, 2013.
The average annualized dividend rate for the BTT RVMTP Shares for
the period ended July 31, 2013 was 0.76%.
For financial reporting purposes, the RVMTP Shares are considered
debt of the issuer; therefore the liquidation value, which approximates fair value, of the RVMTP Shares is recorded as a liability in the Statements of
Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends are included in interest expense and fees payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and the
dividends accrued and paid on the RVMTP Shares are included as a component of interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the
Statements of Operations. The RVMTP Shares are treated as equity for tax purposes. Dividends paid to holders of the RVMTP Shares are generally
classified as tax-exempt income for tax-reporting purposes.
Offering Costs: The Income Trusts incurred costs in
connection with the issuance of VRDP Shares, VMTP Shares and/or RVMTP Shares. For VRDP Shares, these costs were recorded as a deferred charge and will
be amortized over the 30-year life of the VRDP Shares with the exception of upfront fees paid to the liquidity provider which were amortized over the
life of the liquidity agreement. For VMTP Shares, these costs were recorded as a deferred charge and will be amortized over the 3-year life of the VMTP
Shares. For RVMTP Shares, these costs were recorded as a deferred charge and will be amortized over the 18-year life of the RVMTP Shares. Amortization
of these costs is included in interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations.
AMPS
The AMPS are redeemable at the option of BFO, in whole or in part,
on any dividend payment date at their liquidation preference per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The AMPS are
also subject to mandatory redemption at their liquidation preference plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, if certain
requirements relating to the composition of the assets and liabilities of BFO, as set forth in BFO’s Statement of Preferences (the “Governing
Instrument”) are not satisfied.
From time to time in the future, BFO may effect repurchases of its
AMPS at prices below their liquidation preference as agreed upon by BFO and seller. BFO also may redeem its AMPS from time to time as provided in the
applicable Governing Instrument. BFO intends to effect such redemptions and/or repurchases to the extent necessary to maintain applicable asset
coverage requirements or for such other reasons as the Board may determine.
The BFO had the following series of AMPS outstanding, effective
yields and reset frequency as of July 31, 2013:

Dividends on seven-day AMPS are cumulative at a rate which is
reset every seven days based on the results of an auction. If the AMPS fail to clear the auction on an auction date, BFO is required to pay the maximum
applicable rate on the AMPS to holders of such shares for successive dividend periods until such time as the shares are successfully auctioned. The
maximum applicable rate on all series of AMPS prior to November 1, 2012 was the higher of 110% of the AA commercial paper rate or 100% of 90% of the
Kenny S&P 30-day High Grade Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate. The Kenny S&P 30-day High Grade Index was discontinued as
of November 1, 2012. For purposes of calculating the maximum applicable rate, the Kenny S&P 30-day High Grade Index was replaced with the S&P
Municipal Bond 7 Day High Grade Rate Index as of November 1, 2012. The low, high and average dividend rates on the AMPS for BFO for the year ended July

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded) |
|
Since February 13, 2008, the AMPS of BFO failed to clear any of
their auctions. As a result, the AMPS dividend rates were reset to the maximum applicable rate, which ranged from 0.08% to 0.38% for the year ended
July 31, 2013. A failed auction is not an event of default for BFO but it has a negative impact on the liquidity of AMPS. A failed auction occurs when
there are more sellers of BFO’s AMPS than buyers. A successful auction for BFO’s AMPS may not occur for some time, if ever, and even if
liquidity does resume, holders of AMPS may not have the ability to sell the AMPS at their liquidation preference.
BFO pays commissions of 0.15% on the aggregate principal amount of
all shares that fail to clear their auctions and 0.25% on the aggregate principal amount of all shares that successfully clear their auctions. Certain
broker dealers have individually agreed to reduce commissions for failed auctions. The commissions paid to these broker dealers are included in
remarketing fees on Preferred Shares in the Statements of Operations.
During the year ended July 31, 2013, BFO announced the following
redemptions of AMPS at a price of $25,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the redemption date:

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust,
BlackRock Florida Municipal 2020 Term Trust,
BlackRock Municipal Income Investment Trust,
BlackRock New Jersey
Municipal Income Trust,
BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust, and
BlackRock Municipal Target Term
Trust:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and
liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust, BlackRock Florida Municipal 2020 Term Trust,
BlackRock Municipal Income Investment Trust, BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Income Trust, and BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust, (each a
“Trust”) as of July 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in
net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. We
have also audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of BlackRock Municipal Target Term Trust
(collectively with each Trust, the “Trusts”) as of July 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations, cash flows, changes in net
assets, and the financial highlights for the period August 30, 2012 (commencement of operations) to July 31, 2013. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trusts’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Trusts are not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Trusts’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned as of July 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing
procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust, BlackRock Florida
Municipal 2020 Term Trust, BlackRock Municipal Income Investment Trust, BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Income Trust, BlackRock New York Municipal
Income Trust, and BlackRock Municipal Target Term Trust as of July 31, 2013, and the results of their operations, cash flows, the changes in their net
assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.

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 California
Municipal Income Trust (“BFZ”), BlackRock Florida Municipal 2020 Term Trust (“BFO”), BlackRock Municipal Income Investment Trust
(“BBF”), BlackRock New Jersey Municipal Income Trust (“BNJ”) and BlackRock New York Municipal Income Trust (“BNY” and
together with BFZ, BFO, BBF, and BNJ, each a “Fund,” and, collectively, the “Funds”) met in person on April 18, 2013 (the
“April Meeting”) and June 4-5, 2013 (the “June Meeting”) to consider the approval of each Fund’s investment advisory agreement
(each, an “Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), each Fund’s investment advisor. The Board of
each Fund also considered the approval of the sub-advisory agreement (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) among the Manager, BlackRock
Financial Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Advisor”), and its 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
Each Board consists of eleven individuals, nine of whom are 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 Funds 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, the Boards are required to consider the
continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. The Boards have four quarterly meetings per year, each extending over two days, and a fifth one-day
meeting to consider specific information surrounding the consideration of renewing the Agreements. In connection with this process, the Boards
assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the services provided to the Funds by BlackRock, its personnel and its affiliates,
including investment management, administrative and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services, risk oversight,
compliance and assistance in meeting applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
The Boards, acting directly and through their respective
committees, considered 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, and
applicable benchmarks, if any, as well as senior management’s and portfolio managers’ analysis of the reasons for any over-performance or
underperformance against their peers and/or benchmark, 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 and fund accounting; (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 objectives, policies and restrictions; (e) the Funds’ compliance with their Code of Ethics and other 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) 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 objectives across the open-end fund, closed-end fund and
institutional account product channels, as applicable; (l) BlackRock’s compensation methodology for its investment professionals and the
incentives it creates; 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. In addition, the Boards requested and
BlackRock provided an analysis of fair valuation and stale pricing policies. BlackRock also furnished information to the Boards in response to specific
questions. These questions covered issues such as BlackRock’s profitability, investment performance and management fee levels. The Boards further
considered the importance of: (i) organizational and structural variables to investment performance; (ii) rates of portfolio turnover; (iii)
BlackRock’s performance accountability for portfolio managers; (iv) marketing support for the funds; (v) services provided to the Funds by
BlackRock affiliates; and (vi) BlackRock’s oversight of relationships with third party service providers.
The Board of each Trust considered BlackRock’s efforts during
the past year with regard to refinancing outstanding AMPS, as well as ongoing time and resources devoted to other forms of preferred shares and
alternative leverage. As of the date of this report, BFZ, BBF, BNJ and BNY have each redeemed 100% of its outstanding AMPS and BFO has redeemed 60.9%
of its outstanding AMPS.
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 engaged in a process with its independent legal counsel
and BlackRock to review the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist their deliberations. The materials provided in connection
with the April Meeting included (a) information independently compiled and 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 the Funds as compared with a
peer group of

Agreements (continued) |
funds as determined by Lipper1 and, where
applicable, a customized peer group selected by BlackRock; (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 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, and the Sub-Advisory Agreement among the
Manager, the Sub-Advisor, and its Fund, each for a one-year term ending June 30, 2014. 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) economies of scale; (f) fall-out benefits to BlackRock 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, 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 Fund performance to the
performance of a comparable group of closed-end funds and/or the
performance of a relevant benchmark, if any. The Boards met with
BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment operations, including the senior investment officers. Each Board also reviewed
the materials provided by its Fund’s portfolio management team discussing the Fund’s performance and the Fund’s investment objective,
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; 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 their Funds’ portfolio management teams and
BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high-quality talent and create performance incentives.
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, the summary prospectus (as applicable) and the statement of additional information
in connection with the initial public offering and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) preparing communications with analysts to support secondary
market trading of the Funds; (iii) assisting with daily accounting and pricing; (iv) preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges;
(v) overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; (vi) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board
meetings; (vii) 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 or consolidation 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 its 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, which analyzed various factors that affect Lipper’s rankings. In
connection with their review, each Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance, based on net asset value (NAV), of its
Fund

Agreements (continued) |
as compared to other funds in that Fund’s applicable
Lipper category and, where applicable, the customized peer group selected by BlackRock. 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 their methodology. The Boards and each Board’s
Performance Oversight Committee regularly review, and meet with Fund management to discuss, the performance of the Funds throughout the
year.
The Board of BFZ noted that BFZ ranked in the third, second and
first quartiles against its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite for the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, respectively. BlackRock
believes that the Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite is an appropriate performance metric for BFZ in that it measures a blend of total return and
yield. The Board of BFZ and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for BFZ’s underperformance during the one-year period and will monitor
BFZ’s performance in the coming year.
The Board of BFO noted that BFO ranked in the fourth, third and
fourth quartiles against its Lipper Performance Universe Composite for the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, respectively. BlackRock
believes that the Lipper Performance Universe Composite is an appropriate performance metric for BFO in that it measures a blend of total return and
yield. The Board of BFO and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for BFO’s underperformance during these periods compared to its Lipper
Performance Universe Composite. BFO’s Board was informed that, among other things, BFO has a targeted maturity, and as such is managed to achieve
the specific maturity goal.
The Board of BBF noted that BBF ranked in the third, third and
second quartiles against its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite for the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, respectively. BlackRock
believes that the Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite is an appropriate performance metric for BBF in that it measures a blend of total return and
yield. The Board of BBF and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for BBF’s underperformance during the one- and three-year periods
compared to its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite. BBF’s Board was informed that, among other things, BBF’s underperformance is
attributed to its below market average distribution yield for the one- and three-year periods. The challenge going forward for BBF is seeking ways to
increase its yield component. One disadvantage BBF has versus its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite is that its prospectus does not allow it to
purchase securities that are subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT), which provides peer funds with additional yield.
The Board of BBF and BlackRock also discussed BlackRock’s
strategy for improving BBF’s performance and BlackRock’s commitment to providing the resources necessary to assist BBF’s portfolio
managers and to improve BBF’s performance.
The Board of BNJ noted that BNJ ranked in the first quartile
against its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported. BlackRock believes that the Customized
Lipper Peer Group Composite is an appropriate performance metric for BNJ in that it measures a blend of total return and yield.
The Board of BNY noted that BNY ranked in the second, first and
first quartiles against its Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite for the one-, three- and five-year periods reported, respectively. BlackRock
believes that the Customized Lipper Peer Group Composite is an appropriate performance metric for BNY in that it measures a blend of total return and
yield.
The Boards noted that BlackRock has recently made, and continues
to make, changes to the organization of BlackRock’s overall portfolio management structure designed to result in strengthened leadership
teams.
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 net operating expense ratio,
as well as actual management fee rate, to those of other funds in its Lipper category. The total net operating expense ratio
and actual management fee rate both give effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers that benefit the funds. The
Boards considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other types of clients with similar investment
mandates, including institutional accounts.
The Boards received and reviewed statements relating to
BlackRock’s financial condition. The Boards were also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses
incurred by BlackRock for services provided to the Funds. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to the Funds and other funds
the Boards currently oversee for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the prior two years.
The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to certain other 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, comparing profitability 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.

JULY 31, 2013 |

|
|
Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory
Agreements (concluded) |
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 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 Boards.
The Board of each of BFZ and BFO noted that its respective
Fund’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the first quartile relative to the Fund’s Expense Peers.
The Board of each of BBF, BNJ and BNY noted that its respective
Fund’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the second quartile relative to the 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 Boards noted that only one closed-end fund
in the Fund Complex has breakpoints in its advisory fee structure.
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 they 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.
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, including the completion of such
financing for BFZ, BBF, BNJ and BNY, the refinancing of auction rate preferred securities; 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 refinancing efforts related to auction rate preferred securities;
sponsoring and participating in conferences; communicating with closed-end fund analysts covering the BlackRock funds throughout the year; providing
marketing and product updates for the closed-end funds; and maintaining and enhancing its closed-end fund website.
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, 2014, and the Sub-Advisory
Agreement among the Manager, the Sub-Advisor, and its Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2014. Based upon its evaluation of all of the
aforementioned factors in their totality, the Boards, including the Independent Board Members, were satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were
fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders. In arriving at their decision to approve the Agreements, the Boards
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 these determinations. 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.

Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plans |
|
Pursuant to each Trust’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the
“Reinvestment Plan”), Common Shareholders are automatically enrolled to have all distributions of dividends and capital gains reinvested by
Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Reinvestment Plan Agent”) in the respective Trust’s shares pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan.
Shareholders who do not participate in the Reinvestment Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check and mailed directly to the
shareholders of record (or if the shares are held in street name or other nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Reinvestment Plan Agent, which
serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Reinvestment Plan.
After BFZ, BBF, BNJ and BNY declares a dividend or determines to
make a capital gain distribution, the Reinvestment Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the following
circumstances, either (i) through receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Trusts (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by purchase of
outstanding shares on the open market or on the Trust’s primary exchange (“open-market purchases”). If, on the dividend payment date,
the net asset value per share (“NAV”) is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such
condition often referred to as a “market premium”), the Reinvestment Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares
acquired on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by
dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV on the date the shares are issued. However, if the NAV is less than 95% of the market price on
the dividend payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the dividend payment date. If, on the
dividend payment date, the NAV is greater than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition often referred to as a
“market discount”), the Reinvestment Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in
open-market purchases. If the Reinvestment Plan Agent is unable to invest the full dividend amount in open-market purchases, or if the market discount
shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Reinvestment Plan Agent will invest any un-invested portion in newly issued shares.
Investments in newly issued shares made in this manner would be made pursuant to the same process described above and the date of issue for such newly
issued shares will substitute for the dividend payment date.
After BFO and BTT declare a dividend or determine to make a
capital gain distribution, the Reinvestment Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants’ account by the purchase of outstanding shares on
the open market or on BFO’s or BTT’s primary exchange (“open-market purchases”). BFO and BTT will not issue any new shares under
the Reinvestment Plan.
Participation in the Reinvestment Plan is completely voluntary and
may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Reinvestment Plan Agent prior to the dividend
record date. Additionally, the Reinvestment Plan Agent seeks to process notices received after the record date but prior to the payable date and such
notices often will become effective by the payable date. Where late notices are not processed by the applicable payable date, such termination or
resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution.
The Reinvestment Plan Agent’s fees for the handling of the
reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be paid by each Trust. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions
incurred with respect to the Reinvestment Plan Agent’s open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any federal income tax that may be payable on such dividends
or distributions.
Each Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the
Reinvestment Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Reinvestment Plan. However, each Trust reserves the right to amend the
Reinvestment Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Participants that request a sale of shares are subject to a $2.50 sales fee
and a $0.15 per share fee. Per share fees include any applicable brokerage commissions the Reinvestment Plan Agent is required to pay. All
correspondence concerning the Reinvestment Plan should be directed to Computershare Trust Company, N.A. through the internet at
http://www.computershare.com/blackrock, or in writing to Computershare, P.O. Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078, Telephone: (800) 699-1236. Overnight
correspondence should be directed to the Reinvestment Plan Agent at 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021.

or death, or until

extending the mandatory
retirement age for
James T. Flynn and
in 2013, the Board
unanimously approved

2 Date
shown is the earliest
date a person has
served for the Trusts
covered by this
annual report. Following
the combination
of Merrill Lynch
Investment Managers,
L.P. (“MLIM”)
and BlackRock, Inc.
(“BlackRock”)
in September 2006,
the various legacy
MLIM and legacy
BlackRock fund boards
were realigned and
consolidated into
three new fund boards
in 2007. As a result,
although the chart
shows certain Trustees
as joining the Trusts’
board in 2007, those
Trustees first became
members of the boards
of other legacy
MLIM or legacy BlackRock
funds as follows:
Richard E. Cavanagh,
1994; Frank J. Fabozzi,
1988; Kathleen F.
Feldstein, 2005;
James T. Flynn,
1996; Jerrold B.

Regulation Regarding Derivatives
Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject
registered investment companies and advisers to registered investment companies to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed
level of its net assets in CFTC-regulated futures, options and swaps (“CFTC Derivatives”), or if a fund markets itself as providing
investment exposure to such instruments. To the extent a Trust uses CFTC-regulated futures, options and swaps, it intends to do so below such
prescribed levels and will not market itself as a “commodity pool” or a vehicle for trading such instruments. Accordingly, BlackRock
Advisors, LLC has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act
(“CEA”) pursuant to Rule 4.5 under the CEA. BlackRock Advisors, LLC is not, therefore, subject to registration or regulation as a
“commodity pool operator” under the CEA in respect of a Trust.
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 Trusts may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net
investment income earned in any particular month and may at times in any particular month pay out such accumulated but undistributed income in addition
to net investment income earned in that month. As a result, 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 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.

Additional Information (continued) |
|
General Information
On July 29, 2010, the Manager announced that a shareholder
derivative complaint was filed on July 27, 2010 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County with respect to BFZ and BNJ, which had
previously received a demand letter from a law firm on behalf of each trust’s common shareholders. The complaint was filed against the Manager,
BlackRock, BFZ, BNJ and certain of the directors, officers and portfolio managers (collectively, the “BlackRock Parties”) in connection with
the redemption of auction-market preferred shares, auction rate preferred shares, auction preferred shares and auction rate securities (collectively,
“AMPS”). The complaint alleged, among other things, that the BlackRock Parties breached their fiduciary duties to the common shareholders of
BFZ and BNJ (the “Shareholders”) by redeeming AMPS at their liquidation preference and alleges that such redemptions caused losses to the
Shareholders. On April 16, 2012, the plaintiffs amended their complaint and filed a consolidated shareholder derivative complaint which contained
similar substantive allegations to the original complaint but which did not include BNJ as a nominal defendant. On July 20, 2012, the BlackRock Parties
filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint (the “Dismissal Motion”). Plaintiffs, on September 14, 2012, moved to hold the defendant’s
motion to dismiss in abeyance and allow plaintiffs to conduct limited discovery before responding to the motion. After the parties agreed to proceed
with limited discovery, plaintiffs advised defendants that they would withdraw their action and, on June 10, 2013, the parties filed a stipulation
dismissing the consolidated complaint without prejudice, subject to the approval of the court. The court dismissed the case without prejudice on June
17, 2013.
The Trusts do not make available copies of their Statements of
Additional Information because the Trusts’ shares are not continuously offered, which means that the Statement of Additional Information of each
Trust has not been updated after completion of the respective Trust’s offerings and the information contained in each Trust’s Statement of
Additional Information may have become outdated.
During the period, there were no material changes in the
Trusts’ investment objectives or policies or to the Trusts’ charters or by-laws that would delay or prevent a change of control of the Trusts
that were not approved by the shareholders or in the principal risk factors associated with investment in the Trusts. There have been no changes in the
persons who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Trusts’ portfolios.

combined with those for other members of your household, please call the Trusts at (800) 882-0052.

The Trust estimates that it has 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 the Trust is
returned to the shareholder. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect the Trust’s investment performance and
should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income.’ When distributions exceed total return performance,
the difference will incrementally reduce the Trust’s net asset value per share. |

This report is transmitted to shareholders only. It is not a
prospectus. Past performance results shown in this report should not be considered a representation of future performance. Certain Trusts have
leveraged their Common Shares, which creates risks for Common Shareholders, including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and
market price of the Common Shares, and the risk that fluctuations in the dividend rates of the Preferred Shares, including AMPS, which are currently
set at the maximum reset rate as a result of failed auctions, may reduce the Common Shares’ yield. Statements and other information herein are as
dated and are subject to change.

Item 2 – Code of Ethics
– The registrant (or the “Fund”) has adopted a code of ethics, as of the end of the period covered by this report,
applicable to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or
controller, or persons performing similar functions. During the period covered by this report, there have been no amendments to
or waivers granted under the code of ethics. A copy of the code of ethics is available without charge at www.blackrock.com.
Item 3 – Audit Committee
Financial Expert – The registrant’s board of directors (the “board of directors”), has determined that
(i) the registrant has the following audit committee financial experts serving on its audit committee and (ii) each audit committee
financial expert is independent:
Michael Castellano
Frank J. Fabozzi
James T. Flynn
W. Carl Kester
Karen P. Robards
The registrant’s board of directors
has determined that W. Carl Kester and Karen P. Robards qualify as financial experts pursuant to Item 3(c)(4) of Form N-CSR.
Prof. Kester has a thorough
understanding of generally accepted accounting principles, financial statements and internal control over financial reporting as
well as audit committee functions. Prof. Kester has been involved in providing valuation and other financial consulting services
to corporate clients since 1978. Prof. Kester’s financial consulting services present a breadth and level of complexity of
accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised
by the registrant’s financial statements.
Ms. Robards has a thorough understanding of generally accepted accounting principles, financial statements
and internal control over financial reporting as well as audit committee functions. Ms. Robards has been President of Robards &
Company, a financial advisory firm, since 1987. Ms. Robards was formerly an investment banker for more than 10 years where she
was responsible for evaluating and assessing the performance of companies based on their financial results. Ms. Robards has over
30 years of experience analyzing financial statements. She also is a member of the audit committee of one publicly held company
and a non-profit organization.
Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial expert will
not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities
Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification
as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities greater than the
duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence
of such designation or identification. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does
not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
The Committee has adopted policies
and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant
on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided
to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the Investment Adviser and Fund Service Providers that relate directly
to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes
are (a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and (b) routine and recurring services that will not impair
the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case
basis (“general pre-approval”). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval,
unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct
impact on the operations or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual
project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project. For this purpose, multiple projects will
be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.
Any proposed services
exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject
to general pre-approval (e.g.,
unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject
to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services
is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to approve the
provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost
levels.
(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Committee pursuant to the de minimis
exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not Applicable
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees paid to the accountant for services rendered by the accountant to the registrant, the Investment
Adviser and the Fund Service Providers were:

Additionally,
SSAE 16 Review (Formerly, SAS No. 70) fees for the current and previous fiscal years of $2,865,000
and $2,970,000, respectively, were billed by D&T to the Investment Adviser.
(h) The Committee has considered
and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Investment Adviser, and the Fund Service Providers
that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal
accountant’s independence.
Item 5 – Audit
Committee of Listed Registrants
(a)
The following individuals are members of the registrant’s separately-designated standing
audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)):

(a) The registrant’s Schedule of Investments is included as part of the Report to Stockholders filed under Item 1 of this
Form.
(b) Not Applicable due to no such divestments during the semi-annual period covered since the previous Form N-CSR filing.
Item 7 – Disclosure of
Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies – The board of directors has delegated
the voting of proxies for the Fund’s portfolio securities to the Investment Adviser pursuant to the Investment Adviser’s
proxy voting guidelines. Under these guidelines, the Investment Adviser will vote proxies related to Fund securities in the best
interests of the Fund and its stockholders. From time to time, a vote may present a conflict between the interests of the Fund’s
stockholders, on the one hand, and those of the Investment Adviser, or any affiliated person of the Fund or the Investment Adviser,
on the other. In such event, provided that the Investment Adviser’s Equity Investment Policy Oversight Committee, or a sub-committee
thereof (the “Oversight Committee”) is aware of the real or potential conflict or material non-routine matter and if
the Oversight Committee does not reasonably believe it is able to follow its general voting guidelines (or if the particular proxy
matter is not addressed in the guidelines) and vote impartially, the Oversight Committee may retain an independent fiduciary to
advise the Oversight Committee on how to vote or to cast votes on behalf of the Investment Adviser’s clients. If the Investment
Adviser determines not to retain an independent fiduciary, or does not desire to follow the advice of such independent fiduciary,
the Oversight Committee shall determine how to vote the proxy after consulting with the Investment Adviser’s Portfolio Management
Group and/or the Investment Adviser’s Legal and Compliance Department and concluding that the vote cast is in its client’s
best interest notwithstanding the conflict. A copy of the Fund’s Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures are attached as Exhibit
99.PROXYPOL. Information on how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period
ended June 30 is available without charge, (i) at www.blackrock.com and (ii) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

(iv) Potential Material
Conflicts of Interest
BlackRock has built a professional working
environment, firm-wide compliance culture and compliance procedures and systems designed to protect against potential incentives
that may favor one account over another. BlackRock has adopted policies and procedures that address the allocation of investment
opportunities, execution of portfolio transactions, personal trading by employees and other potential conflicts of interest that
are designed to ensure that all client accounts are treated equitably over time. Nevertheless, BlackRock furnishes investment management
and advisory services to numerous clients in addition to the Fund, and BlackRock may, consistent with applicable law, make investment
recommendations to other clients or accounts (including accounts which are hedge funds or have performance or higher fees paid
to BlackRock, or in which portfolio managers have a personal interest in the receipt of such fees), which may be the same as or
different from those made to the Fund. In addition, BlackRock, Inc., its affiliates and significant shareholders and any
officer, director, shareholder or employee may or may not have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale BlackRock
recommends to the Fund. BlackRock, Inc., or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders, or any officer, director,
shareholder, employee or any member of their families may take different actions than those recommended to the Fund by BlackRock
with respect to the same securities. Moreover, BlackRock may refrain from rendering any advice or services concerning securities
of companies of which any of BlackRock, Inc.’s (or its affiliates’ or significant shareholders’) officers, directors
or employees are directors or officers, or companies as to which BlackRock, Inc. or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders
or the officers, directors and employees of any of them has any substantial economic interest or possesses material non-public
information. Certain portfolio managers also may manage accounts whose investment strategies may at times be opposed to the
strategy utilized for a fund. It should also be noted that a portfolio manager may be managing certain hedge fund and/or
long only accounts, or may be part of a team managing certain hedge fund and/or long only accounts, subject to incentive fees.
Such portfolio managers may therefore be entitled to receive a portion of any incentive fees earned on such accounts. Currently,
the portfolio managers of the Fund are not entitled to receive a portion of incentive fees of other accounts.
As a fiduciary, BlackRock owes a duty
of loyalty to its clients and must treat each client fairly. When BlackRock purchases or sells securities for more than one
account, the trades must be allocated in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties. BlackRock attempts to allocate investments
in a fair and equitable manner among client accounts, with no account
receiving preferential treatment. To this end, BlackRock,
Inc. has adopted policies that are intended to ensure reasonable efficiency in client transactions and provide BlackRock with sufficient
flexibility to allocate investments in a manner that is consistent with the particular investment discipline and client base, as
appropriate.
(a)(3) As of July 31, 2013:
Portfolio Manager Compensation Overview
BlackRock’s
financial arrangements with its portfolio managers, its competitive compensation and its career path emphasis at all levels reflect
the value senior management places on key resources. Compensation may include a variety of components and may vary from year to
year based on a number of factors. The principal components of compensation include a base salary, a performance-based discretionary
bonus, participation in various benefits programs and one or more of the incentive compensation programs established by BlackRock.
Base Compensation.
Generally,
portfolio managers receive base compensation based on their position with BlackRock, Inc.
Discretionary Incentive Compensation.
Discretionary incentive compensation
is a function of several components: the performance of BlackRock, Inc., the performance of the portfolio manager’s
group within BlackRock, the investment performance, including risk-adjusted returns, of the firm’s assets under management
or supervision by that portfolio manager relative to predetermined benchmarks, and the individual’s performance and contribution
to the overall performance of these portfolios and BlackRock. In most cases, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark
or benchmarks against which the performance of the Fund or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured.
Among other things, BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers make a subjective determination with respect to each portfolio
manager’s compensation based on the performance of the funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager relative
to the various benchmarks. Performance of fixed income funds is measured on a pre-tax and/or after-tax basis over various
time periods including 1-, 3- and 5- year periods, as applicable. With respect to these portfolio managers, such benchmarks for
the Fund and other accounts are:
Portfolio Manager |
Benchmark |
Theodore R. Jaeckel, Jr. |
A combination of peer based fund classifications or subsets thereof (e.g., Lipper Intermediate Debt Funds classification, Lipper NJ Municipal Debt Funds classification, Lipper Closed-End General Bond Fund classification, subset of Lipper Closed-End High Quality/Insured Muni Debt Leveraged Fund classification, subset of Lipper Closed-End Other Single State High Quality/Insured Muni Fund classification). |
Michael Kalinoski |
A combination of peer based fund classifications or subsets thereof (e.g., Lipper Closed-End General Bond Fund classification, a subset of Lipper Closed-End High Quality/Insured Muni Debt Leveraged Fund classification, a subset of Lipper Closed-End CPG Other Single State High Quality/Insured Muni Fund classification). |
|
Phillip Soccio
|
A combination of peer based fund classifications or subsets thereof (e.g. Lipper Closed-End General & Insured Muni Debt Fund classification, Lipper Closed-End Pennsylvania Municipal Debt Fund classifications, a subset of Lipper Closed-End Other States Municipal Debt Fund classification). |
Distribution of Discretionary Incentive Compensation
Discretionary incentive compensation
is distributed to portfolio managers in a combination of cash and BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units which vest ratably over
a number of years. For some portfolio managers, discretionary incentive compensation is also distributed in deferred cash awards
that notionally track the returns of select BlackRock investment products they manage and that vest ratably over a number of years.
The BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units, upon vesting, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Typically, the cash
portion of the discretionary incentive compensation, when combined with base salary, represents more than 60% of total compensation
for the portfolio managers. Paying a portion of discretionary incentive compensation in BlackRock stock puts compensation earned
by a portfolio manager for a given year “at risk” based on BlackRock’s ability to sustain and improve its performance
over future periods. Providing a portion of discretionary incentive compensation in deferred cash awards that notionally track
the BlackRock investment products they manage provides direct alignment with investment product results.
Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards
— From time to time long-term incentive equity awards are granted to certain key employees to aid in retention, align
their interests with long-term shareholder interests and motivate performance. Equity awards are generally granted in the
form of BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units that, once vested, settle in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Mr. Jaeckel has unvested
long-term incentive awards.
Deferred Compensation Program —
A portion of the compensation paid to eligible United States-based BlackRock employees may be voluntarily deferred at their
election for defined periods of time into an account that tracks the performance of certain of the firm’s investment products.
Any portfolio manager who is either a managing director or director at BlackRock is eligible to participate in the deferred compensation
program.
Other Compensation Benefits. In
addition to base compensation and discretionary incentive compensation, portfolio managers may be eligible to receive or participate
in one or more of the following:
Incentive
Savings Plans — BlackRock, Inc. has created a variety of incentive savings plans in which BlackRock, Inc.
employees are eligible to participate, including a 401(k) plan, the BlackRock Retirement Savings Plan (RSP), and the BlackRock
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The employer contribution components of the RSP include a company match equal to 50% of the
first 8% of eligible pay contributed to the plan capped at $5,000 per year, and a company retirement contribution equal to 3-5%
of eligible compensation up to the Internal Revenue Service limit ($255,000 for 2013). The RSP offers a range of investment
options,
including registered investment companies and collective investment funds managed by the firm. BlackRock, Inc. contributions
follow the investment direction set by participants for their own contributions or, absent participant investment direction, are
invested into a target date fund that corresponds to, or is closest to, the year in which the participant attains age 65.
The ESPP allows for investment in BlackRock, Inc. common stock at a 5% discount on the fair market value of the stock on the purchase
date. Annual participation in the ESPP is limited to the purchase of 1,000 shares of common stock or a dollar value of $25,000
based on its fair market value on the Purchase Date. All of the eligible portfolio managers are eligible to participate in
these plans.
