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

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

Section 19(b) Disclosure

The Trusts, acting pursuant to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) exemptive order and with the approval of each Trust’s Board of Trustees/Directors (the “Board”), each have adopted a plan, consistent with its investment objectives and policies to support a level distribution of income, capital gains and/or return of capital (the “Plan”). In accordance with the Plans, the Trusts distributed the following fixed amounts per share on a monthly basis as of December 31, 2015:

|  | Exchange Symbol |  | Amount Per Common Share |  |
|  | BGR |  | $0.1100 |  |
|  | CII |  | $0.1000 |  |
|  | BDJ |  | $0.0467 |  |
|  | BOE |  | $0.0970 |  |
|  | BME |  | $0.2000 |  |
|  | BGY |  | $0.0490 |  |
|  | BCX |  | $0.0655 |  |
|  | BST |  | $0.1000 |  |
|  | BUI |  | $0.1210 |  |

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

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

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

The Markets in Review

Dear Shareholder,

Diverging monetary policies and shifting economic outlooks across regions have been the overarching themes driving financial markets over the past couple of years. With U.S. growth outpacing the global economic recovery in 2015 while inflationary pressures remained low, investors spent most of the year anticipating a short-term rate hike from the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), which ultimately came to fruition in December. In contrast, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) and the Bank of Japan moved to a more accommodative stance during the year. In this environment, the U.S. dollar strengthened considerably, causing profit challenges for U.S. exporters and high levels of volatility in emerging market currencies and commodities. Oil prices were particularly volatile and below the historical norm due to an ongoing imbalance in global supply and demand.

Market volatility broadly increased in the middle of 2015, beginning with a sharp, but temporary, selloff in June as Greece’s long-brewing debt troubles came to an impasse. Just as these concerns abated, Chinese equities tumbled amid weakness in the country’s economy. This, combined with a depreciation of the yuan and declining confidence in China’s policymakers, stoked worries about the potential impact to the broader world economy, causing heightened volatility to spread throughout markets globally. Given a dearth of meaningful growth across most of the world, financial markets became more reliant on central bank policies to drive performance. In that vein, risk assets (such as equities and high yield bonds) rallied in October when China’s central bank provided more stimulus, the ECB hinted at further easing, and soft U.S. data pushed back expectations for a Fed rate hike. As the period came to a close, however, the ECB disappointed investors with its subdued policy changes. The Fed’s December rate hike had a positive impact on the markets as it removed a source of uncertainty, but this was counteracted by the dampening effect of a stronger U.S. dollar, falling oil prices and tighter credit conditions.

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

Sincerely,

Rob Kapito

The Benefits and Risks of Option Over-Writing |  |

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trust Summary as of December 31, 2015 |  |  | BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust |

Trust Overview

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

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

Performance and Portfolio Management Commentary

Returns for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2015 were as follows:

|  | Returns Based On
|  | Market Price |  | Net Asset Value
BGR1,2 |  | (31.42)% |  | (27.47)%
Lipper Natural Resources Funds3 |  | (30.07)% |  | (29.43)%

| 1 |  | All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or distributions.

| 2 |  | The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV.

| 3 |  | Average return.

The following discussion relates to the Trust’s absolute performance based on NAV:

What factors influenced performance?

• |  | Global oil production outstripped demand during 2015, contributing to extreme weakness in oil prices and leading to both elevated volatility and poor performance for the energy sector. In this environment, the Trust’s position in the refining and marketing company Phillips 66 was the leading contributor to performance. Since crude oil is the primary input cost for the refining & marketing industry, lower prices boosted profit margins and enabled the group to outperform the broader energy sector.

• |  | During the first half of the year, the investment advisor positioned the portfolio for a U-shaped recovery in oil prices. The rationale for this move was the increasing evidence that lower oil prices had compelled energy companies to change their behavior in ways that would lead to a more favorable balance of supply and demand for oil. The Trust achieved this shift by adding to positions in exploration and production (E&P) companies and reducing exposure to lower-beta, more defensive integrated oil & gas companies. The integrated oil and gas companies typically display less sensitivity to the oil price due to their exposure to both

|  | upstream (production) and downstream (refining) elements of the supply chain. The E&P companies typically display greater sensitivity to the oil price as they are focused in the upstream elements only. In order to increase the Trust’s oil price sensitivity during the period, we added to our positions in E&P companies Pioneer Natural Resources and Marathon Oil and reduced exposure to integrated oil and gas companies Royal Dutch Shell, Exxon and Chevron. The recovery process proved slower than the advisor anticipated and the oil price continued to weaken during the year (Brent and WTI declined (30.5)% and (33.5)% respectively). Those companies with greater oil price sensitivity declined more than those with less sensitivity to the oil price and as such, the decision to increase the Trust’s sensitivity to oil prices weighed on absolute performance in 2015.

• |  | The Trust’s investment in Royal Dutch Shell PLC was the largest detractor from absolute returns, owing to both the stock’s large weighting in the portfolio and the market’s negative market reaction to the company’s takeover bid for BG Group PLC. The Trust’s positions in the U.S. E&P companies Marathon Oil Corp., Devon Energy Corp. and Encana Corp. were also notable detractors due to their relatively high sensitivity to oil prices.

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

Describe recent portfolio activity.

• |  | The investment advisor retained a bias to higher-quality companies, with an emphasis on those with strong balance sheets, high-quality assets and low costs of production. During the fourth calendar quarter, the investment advisor added to the Trust’s weighting in integrated companies based on its expectation for continued volatility in the broader energy sector.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

• |  | The Trust held its largest allocations in the integrated oil & gas and exploration & production sub-industries, with smaller allocations to oil services, distribution, and refining & marketing stocks.

The Trust intends to remove the S&P 500® Value Index comparison in future shareholder reports.

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

The following discussion relates to the Trust’s relative performance based on the S&P 500® Index:

What factors influenced performance?

• |  | The Trust generated a positive return through its stock selection across multiple sectors, in particular consumer discretionary, health care and energy.

• |  | Within consumer discretionary, Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. made the largest contribution to return after industry leader Expedia, Inc. announced it would acquire the company at a premium. Positions in specialty retail and automobiles also contributed in the sector. The Trust’s overweight to managed-care companies proved most advantageous in the health care sector as the companies consistently beat earnings expectations and raised guidance on strong underlying fundamentals,

| while further benefiting from the summer’s favorable Supreme Court ruling concerning insurance subsidies under the Affordable Care Act and, more critically, the broader consolidation trend in the industry. Strength in energy was attributable to both the Trust’s underweight to the benchmark’s worst-performing names concentrated in exploration & production, and overweight to refining & marketing. The benefit of this positioning more than offset weakness resulting from an overweight in energy services companies, which struggled amid the steep decline in the price of oil.

• |  | Information technology (“IT”) was the prime detractor from relative performance, largely owing to the Trust’s tilt toward enterprise hardware and compute-intensive semiconductor companies. Key names underperformed as the magnitude of PC unit weakness was worse than anticipated, pressuring earnings and forward guidance of several holdings with PC exposure. Micron Technology Inc. and Western Digital Corp. were leading individual detractors within the Trust for the 12-month period. Elsewhere in the portfolio, zero exposure to internet & catalog retail name Amazon.com Inc. hindered relative returns as the stock more than doubled in the period.

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

Describe recent portfolio activity.

• |  | During the 12-month period, the Trust’s exposure to the consumer staples, health care and IT sectors increased. Reductions were made in several sectors, including consumer discretionary, telecommunication services, industrials and financials.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

• |  | Relative to the S&P 500® Index, the Trust ended the period with its largest sector overweights in consumer discretionary, health care and IT. The Trust’s most notable underweights were industrials, telecommunication services and utilities.

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

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

What factors influenced performance?

• |  | The largest contributors to relative performance came from the Trust’s underweight allocation and stock selection in energy. Notable relative contributors within the sector included an overweight in the refiner Marathon Oil Corp. and the decision not to have a position in the benchmark holding Kinder Morgan, Inc. An underweight in the exploration & production and oilfield service industries also proved beneficial amid falling crude oil prices. Stock selection in the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors also added to relative returns. Within consumer staples, top contributors included a position in the grocery store operator Kroger Co. and an overweight to the tobacco industry. Within consumer discretionary, the Trust’s position in The Home Depot, Inc. outperformed due to stronger than expected sales and earnings growth. In addition, stock selection in industrials, especially an overweight to the aerospace & defense sub-industry, contributed positively.

• |  | The largest detractor from relative performance came from a combination of stock selection and portfolio allocation decisions in the health care segment. Notably, an

| overweight in the managed care industry hurt relative returns, as did a lack of holdings in the benchmark companies Cigna Corporation and Humana Inc., both of which benefited from merger & acquisition activity during the period. In addition, a combination of stock selection and allocation decisions in financials detracted from relative return. In particular, stock selection in the insurance industry and an underweight within real estate investment trusts were costly. In financials, an overweight in American Express Co. also negatively impacted returns. Lastly, a combination of stock selection and an overweight in materials weighed on relative performance.

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

Describe recent portfolio activity.

• |  | During the 12-month period, the Trust’s exposure to the health care sector was increased through the initiation of new positions in the managed care providers UnitedHealth Group, Inc., Anthem, Inc., and Aetna, Inc. Other notable new purchases included the consumer discretionary holding Dollar General Corp. and the financials firm American International Group, Inc. Conversely, the Trust reduced exposure to the consumer discretionary sector by exiting its position in VF Corp. and reducing its allocation to Comcast Corp. Lastly, the Trust reduced its financials allocation by exiting positions in The Toronto-Dominion Bank and Fifth Third Bancorp, and by trimming its holdings in American Express Co.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

• |  | The Trust’s largest overweight positions were in the industrials, health care and consumer staples sectors. Conversely, the Trust’s largest underweights were in the information technology, financials and energy sectors.

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

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

What factors influenced performance?

• |  | Gains for the period were dispersed through seven of ten market sectors, led by stock selection in the information technology (“IT”) and financials segments. Within IT, stock selection in the Internet software & services sub-industry led performance after holdings in Facebook, Inc. performed strongly on the company’s positive earnings momentum, driven by increasing advertising revenue. The investment advisor believes that Facebook’s valuation remains attractive given its growth profile. Within utilities, stock selection in the electric utilities sub-industry was the next largest contributor to the Trust’s performance, as the group generally traded higher on the basis of strong earnings and a positive outlook.

• |  | The Trust’s position in private company Jasper InfoTech Private Ltd., Series F and Uber Technologies, Inc., Series D contributed positively to performance.

• |  | Conversely, stock selection in the consumer staples and industrials sectors led detractors for the period. Within consumer staples, stock selection in the tobacco sub-industry hindered returns as shares of ITC Ltd. declined after a steep increase in state taxes in India that is projected to hurt the company’s future earnings potential. The Trust sold the position. Stock selection in the airlines sub-industry was the second largest detractor based on the underperformance of the Trust’s position in American Airlines Group Inc., which was negatively affected by investor concerns regarding over-capacity and increased competition. The Trust continues to hold the shares because of the company’s strong future growth profile following its acquisition of U.S. Airways, and because airlines generally should benefit from significantly lower fuel costs.

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

Describe recent portfolio activity.

• |  | During the 12-month period, the Trust shifted to more defensive stocks in the telecommunication services and utilities sectors, funded by profit taking within the financials and health care sectors. Regionally, these sector decisions resulted in increased exposure to Europe and the emerging markets, and decreased exposure to North America.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

• |  | Relative to the MSCI All Country World Index, the Trust ended the period with its largest overweight positions in the IT and consumer discretionary sectors, and underweight positions in the financials and industrials sectors. Regionally, this resulted in overweight positions in Europe and the emerging markets, and underweights in North America and the Pacific Basin.

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

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

What factors influenced performance?

• |  | The Trust generated strong stock selection in all four of the sub-sectors within health care (pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices & supplies and health care providers & services), with biotechnology leading the way. The gains from biotechnology were broad-based, with a number of holdings — including Receptos, Inc., Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical, Inc., Dyax Corp. and Synageva BioPharma Corp. — benefiting from positive clinical developments and/or being acquired. Favorable clinical developments also boosted the shares of the pharmaceutical stocks Eisai, Inc., Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc., and Nektar Therapeutics.

• |  | Many of the Trust’s holdings benefited from solid financial results, including the specialty pharmaceutical stocks Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. and Perrigo Co., as well as the medical devices & supplies companies Boston Scientific Corp., DexCom, Inc., Masimo Corp., Becton Dickinson and Co. and Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. Lastly, the Trust’s underweight in several large-cap

|  | pharmaceuticals with substantial weightings in the benchmark, including Johnson & Johnson and Merck & Co. Inc., aided relative performance.

• |  | During a period of strong returns for the health care sector, there were only a handful of detractors from the Trust’s performance. Most notably, the Trust’s overweight allocation in managed care stocks and its stock selection in the health care distributors industry hindered performance. In the latter group, McKesson Corp. detracted after reporting mixed financial results. Other positions that weighed on results included Mallinckrodt PLC (pharmaceuticals), The Cooper Cos., Inc. (medical devices & supplies) and an underweight in the strong performing biotechnology stock Gilead Sciences, Inc. The Trust’s lack of a position in Pharmacyclics, Inc., which was acquired by AbbVie, Inc., also detracted.

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

Describe recent portfolio activity.

• |  | The Trust’s allocations generally remained in line with its allocations at the prior fiscal year-end. The Trust’s weightings in biotechnology and health care providers & services sub-sectors increased slightly, while its weightings in the medical devices & supplies and pharmaceutical sub-sectors declined. These allocations were the by-product of the Trust’s bottom-up, fundamental investment process.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

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

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

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

What factors influenced performance?

• |  | Stock selection in the financials and consumer discretionary sectors contributed to performance. Within the financial sectors, stock selection within the diversified banks sub-industry led contributors after shares of HDFC Bank Ltd. traded higher throughout the 12-month period, as the bank continues to take market share from legacy state-owned enterprises in India. Within the consumer discretionary sector, the Trust’s position in Jasper Infotech Private Ltd., Series F, an online marketplace company based in India, was the second-largest individual contributor. The Trust’s investment in Jasper InfoTech Private Ltd., a private company, benefited when additional rounds of funding increased the valuation of the company.

• |  | Conversely, stock selection within the information technology (“IT”) and health care sectors hindered performance over the period. Within IT, holdings in the

|  | Internet software & services company Baidu, Inc. detracted given the firm’s large share of revenue exposure to China. The Trust exited the position. In health care, stock selection in the pharmaceuticals sub-industry was the next largest detractor after shares of Sanofi detracted due to disappointing earnings results. The investment advisor remains optimistic regarding Sanofi’s cardiovascular drug for cholesterol and the Trust has retained its position there.

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

Describe recent portfolio activity.

• |  | During the 12-month period, exposure to the financials and telecommunication services (“telecom”) sectors was increased, funded by profit taking in the consumer discretionary and health care sectors. Regionally, these sector decisions resulted in increased exposure to Europe and a decreased weighting in emerging Asia.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

• |  | Relative to the MSCI All Country World Index ex-US, the Trust ended the period with overweight positions in the telecom and IT sectors, and underweights in materials and utilities. Regionally, the Trust remains overweight in Europe, and underweight in the emerging markets and the Pacific Basin.

Trust Summary as of December 31, 2015 |  | BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust

Trust Overview

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

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

Performance and Portfolio Management Commentary

Returns for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2015 were as follows:

|  | Returns Based On
|  | Market Price |  | Net Asset Value

| 2 |  | 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.

| 3 |  | Average return.

The following discussion relates to the Trust’s absolute performance based on NAV:

What factors influenced performance?

• |  | Tyson Foods, Inc., which continued to deliver on its strategy to develop and expand its value-added and branded capabilities, was one of the largest positive contributors to the Trust’s absolute performance in 2015. The company’s profit margins generally outperformed expectations as management’s efforts to improve the quality of its operations, especially in its chicken business, paid off.

• |  | The Trust’s exposure to the Russian nickel miner MMC Norilsk Nickel PJSC contributed positively to absolute performance during the year. The company benefited from a decline in the perceived political risk in Russia, as well as a reduction in costs stemming from the weakness in the Russian ruble.

• |  | The mining industry detracted dramatically during the year due to a combination of slow global growth and oversupply in a number of the mined commodities. The sector was also hurt by weakening economic data in China, including a sharp drop in industrial activity and evidence of domestic firms struggling under heavy

|  | debt burdens. The Trust’s investment in the diversified miner BHP Billiton Ltd. — which was hurt by both its exposure to falling oil prices and the tragic collapse of a mining dam in Brazil — detracted from performance, as did its position in the copper producer First Quantum Minerals Ltd.

• |  | The Trust made use of options, principally written call options on individual stocks, in order to seek enhanced returns while continuing to participate in the performance of the underlying equities. The Trust’s option writing strategy had a positive impact on performance during the period and helped offset some of the volatility among resources stocks.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

• |  | At the beginning of 2015, the Trust was positioned with the majority of its investments in agriculture and energy, with the lowest weighting in the mining sector. These allocations were driven by the investment advisor’s views regarding the varying outlooks and relative valuations for the three sectors. This positioning benefited performance in the first half of the year, during which the agriculture sector held up better than the energy and mining sectors.

• |  | During the third calendar quarter, the investment advisor made significant shifts to the portfolio, taking down its agriculture exposure and substantially increasing its weightings in the energy and mining groups. This adjustment reflected the investment advisor’s view that indiscriminate selling in mining and energy shares had created compelling tactical opportunities.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

• |  | The energy sector was the Trust’s largest allocation, followed by metals & mining and agriculture stocks, respectively.

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

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

What factors influenced performance?

• |  | Performance for the 12-month period was led by the Trust’s position in Amazon.com, Inc., which rallied on strong revenue growth and margin control, both of which exceeded analysts’ forecasts. The Trust’s investment advisor looks favorably on Amazon.com, Inc.’s long-term opportunities. The second largest individual contributor to performance was the Trust’s position in Facebook, Inc., Class A, as the stock benefited from strong earnings momentum driven by an increase in the company’s advertising revenues.

• |  | Conversely, the Trust’s position in the Indian language film company Eros International PLC detracted after questions arose concerning the firm’s accounting practices. In addition, the Trust’s position in Oracle Corp. detracted after some investors became skeptical about revenue recognition after discovering aggressive sales incentives. During this time, the

|  | Trust sold out of the stock, but reinvested later in the year after the stock appeared to be undervalued, as the investment advisor is optimistic concerning Oracle’s future growth prospects around cloud computing.

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

Describe recent portfolio activity.

• |  | Over the 12-month period, the Trust added to positions in the software & services and retailing industries, funded by reductions within the semiconductors & semiconductor equipment and technology hardware & equipment industries. From a regional perspective, the Trust increased exposure to North America and Europe and rotated out of the emerging markets, particularly emerging Asia.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

• |  | Relative to the MSCI World Information Technology Index, the Trust’s positioning reflected a number of themes. These included company-specific software & services opportunities, particularly in China, to capture the proliferation of Internet search demand and e-commerce. In addition, the Trust was overweight in companies successfully transitioning out of declining PC-related industries and into enterprise-driven “big data” initiatives. Lastly, the portfolio included companies the investment advisor views as industry-leading innovators that consistently re-invent their business models.

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

Trust Overview

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

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

Performance and Portfolio Management Commentary

Returns for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2015 were as follows:

|  | Returns Based On
|  | Market Price |  | Net Asset Value
BUI1,2 |  | (12.45)% |  | (6.09)%

| 2 |  | The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV.

| 3 |  | Average return.

The following discussion relates to the Trust’s absolute performance based on NAV:

What factors influenced performance?

• |  | Broadly, U.S. utilities experienced weak performance in 2015, with a rebound in U.S. interest rates and uncertainty over the timing of future Federal Reserve monetary policy actions contributing to poor returns. The largest detractor from absolute returns was the Trust’s exposure to master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) within the oil, gas & consumable fuels industry. Weakness in crude oil prices negatively impacted MLP returns, as did reduced expectations for long-term growth within the industry. Notable MLP detractors included Dominion Midstream Partners LP, Plains All American Pipeline, L.P . and Enbridge Inc. Stock selection in the independent power & renewables and electric utilities industries also hindered absolute returns.

• |  | The Trust’s position in water utility operator American Water Works Company, Inc. was the largest absolute contributor to performance. Exposure to the transportation infrastructure industry also added to returns, with notable contributions from Atlantia S.p.A. and Transurban Group Ltd. Finally, the Trust’s

|  | allocation to gas utilities and multi-utilities also contributed modestly to portfolio absolute returns.

• |  | From a country allocation standpoint, the Trust’s international exposure contributed positively to absolute returns. Portfolio holdings based in Italy and Australia performed particularly well during the reporting period.

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

Describe recent portfolio activity.

• |  | The Trust increased its transportation infrastructure exposure, by adding to existing positions in Atlantia S.p.A. and Sydney Airport. In utilities, exposure to larger-cap operators including Dominion Resources, Inc., CMS Energy Corporation, and NextEra Energy, Inc. was increased. Finally, the Trust increased its construction & engineering industry allocation by initiating a new position in VINCI SA. Conversely, MLP exposure was reduced, with notable sales including positions in MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P . and TransCanada Corporation.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

• |  | The utilities sector accounted for just over one-half of the Trust’s assets, with holdings weighted toward in the U.S. electric and multi-utilities industries. The Trust also maintained a significant allocation to the industrial sectors, including construction and infrastructure operators, and the sector represented approximately 20% of the portfolio. MLPs also accounted for approximately 20% of the portfolio, with a tilt toward midstream pipeline operators with manageable debt burdens, low capital costs and strong coverage ratios. In view of uncertainty around the pace of U.S. interest rate increases and the changing global backdrop against which Trust holdings operate, the Trust was positioned with an emphasis on investments across multiple geographic and regulatory environments.

Derivative Financial Instruments |  |

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

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

| 2 |  | Any difference between net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments still held at December 31, 2015 is generally due to investments no longer held or categorized as Level 3 at period end.

The following table summarizes the valuation techniques used and unobservable inputs utilized by the BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) to determine the value of certain of the Trust’s Level 3 investments as of period end.

|  | Value |  |  | Valuation Techniques |  | Unobservable Inputs |  | Range of Unobservable Inputs Utilized |
Assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Preferred Stocks |  | $ | 4,362,568 |  |  | Discounted Cash Flow |  | Discount Rate1 |  |  | 1.87% |

Total |  | $ | 4,362,568 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

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

| 2 |  | The Trust fair values certain of its Level 3 investments using acquisition cost, although the transaction may not have occurred during the current reporting period. These investments are generally privately held investments. There may not be a secondary market, and/or there are a limited number of investors. The determination to fair value such investments at cost is based upon factors consistent with the principles of fair value measurement that are reasonably available to the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate. Valuations are reviewed utilizing available market information to determine if the carrying value should be adjusted. Such market data may include, but is not limited to, observations of the trading multiples of public companies considered comparable to the private companies being valued, financial or operational information released by the company, and/or news or corporate events that affect the investment. Valuations may be adjusted to account for company-specific issues, the lack of liquidity inherent in a nonpublic investment and the fact that comparable public companies are not identical to the investments being fair valued by the Trust.

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

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

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

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

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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |  |

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |  |

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

Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements of BCX include the accounts of BlackRock Cayman Resources & Commodities Strategy Fund, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of BCX and primarily invests in commodity-related instruments. The Subsidiary enables BCX to hold these commodity-related instruments and satisfy regulated investment company tax requirements. BCX may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. During the year ended December 31, 2015, there were no transactions in the Subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions, if any, have been eliminated. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment policies and restrictions that apply to BCX, except that the Subsidiary may invest without limitation in commodity-related instruments.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

122 |  | ANNUAL REPORT |  | DECEMBER 31, 2015 |  |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |  |

taxable to shareholders at ordinary income rates. Under certain circumstances, taxable excess distributions could be significant. See Note 8, Income Tax Information, for the tax character of each Trust’s distributions paid during the period.

Net income and realized gains from investments held by the Subsidiary are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. If a net loss is realized by the Subsidiary in any taxable year, the loss will generally not be available to offset the Trust’s ordinary income and/or capital gains for that year.

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

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

Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, the Trusts enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against the Trust, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.

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

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

3. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements:

Investment Valuation Policies: The Trusts’ investments are valued at fair value (also referred to as “market value” within the financial statements) as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Trusts would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Trusts determine the fair values of its financial instruments using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board of Trustees of each Trust. 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.

Fair Value Inputs and Methodologies: The following methods (or “techniques”) and inputs are used to establish the fair value of the each Trust’s assets and liabilities:

• |  | Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at the official close price each day, if available. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the official close price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day may be valued at the last available bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such instruments may occur between the foreign market close and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of the Trust’s net assets. Each business day, the Trust’s use a pricing service to assist with the valuation of certain foreign exchange-traded equity securities and foreign exchange-traded and over-the-counter (“OTC”) options (the “Systematic Fair Value Price”). Using current market factors, the Systematic Fair Value Price is designed to value such foreign securities and foreign options at fair value as of the close of business on the NYSE, which follows the close of the local markets.

• |  | Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value (“NAV”) each business day.

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

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

|  | ANNUAL REPORT |  | DECEMBER 31, 2015 |  | 123

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |  |

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

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

If events (e.g., a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur that are expected to materially affect the value of such instruments, or in the event that the application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Valued Investments”). When determining the price for Fair Valued Investments, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that each Trust might reasonably expect to receive or pay from the current sale or purchase of that asset or liability in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, deems relevant consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, which include the market approach, income approach and/or in the case of recent investments, the cost approach, as appropriate. The market approach generally 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 each Trust’s pricing vendors, regular reviews of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices and large movements in market values and reviews of any market related activity. The pricing of all Fair Valued Investments is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.

Fair Value Hierarchy: Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value 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 each 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 each Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The significant unobservable inputs used by the Global Valuation Committee in determining the price for Fair Valued Investments are typically categorized as Level 3. The fair value hierarchy for each Trust’s investments has been included in the Schedule of Investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Trusts’ policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investments and derivative financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

4. Securities and Other Investments:

Preferred Stock: Preferred stock has a preference over common stock in liquidation (and generally in receiving dividends as well) but is subordinated to the liabilities of the issuer in all respects. As a general rule, the market value of preferred stock with a fixed dividend rate and no conversion element varies inversely with interest rates and perceived credit risk, while the market price of convertible preferred stock generally also reflects some element of conversion value. Because preferred stock is junior to debt securities and other obligations of the issuer, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer will cause greater changes in the value of a preferred stock than in a more senior debt security with similar stated yield characteristics. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.

Securities Lending: Certain Trusts may lend their securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Trusts collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. The initial collateral received by each Trust is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter, at a value equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Trust and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Trust, or excess collateral returned by the Trust, on the next business day. During the term of the loan, the Trusts are entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

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

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

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

| 1 |  | Collateral with a value of $944,554, $427,550, $2,751,247, $35,689 and $119,000 has been received in connection with securities lending agreements for BGR, BOE, BGY, BCX and BST, respectively. Collateral received in excess of the value of securities loaned from the individual counterparty is not shown for financial reporting purposes in the table above.

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

5. Derivative Financial Instruments:

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

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

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

When the contract is closed, the Trusts record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures contracts, interest or foreign currency exchange rates and the underlying assets.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Certain Trusts enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to, or hedge exposure away from, foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by the Trusts, help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments held by the Trusts are denominated. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Trusts as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Trusts record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a forward foreign currency exchange contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies.

Options: Certain Trusts purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease their exposure to underlying instruments (including equity risk and/or commodity price risk) and/or, in the case of options written, to generate gains from options premiums. A call option gives the purchaser (holder) of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller (writer) to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and

126 |  | ANNUAL REPORT |  | DECEMBER 31, 2015 |  |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |  |

obligates the writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. When the Trusts purchase (write) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by the Trusts is reflected as an asset (liability). The amount of the asset (liability) is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased (written). When an instrument is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the instrument acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the instrument sold. When an option expires (or the Trusts enter into a closing transaction), the Trusts realize a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premiums received or paid). When the Trusts write a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that the Trusts hold the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty. When the Trusts write a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation.

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

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

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

Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Trusts and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Trusts, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (typically either $250,000 or $500,000) before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of business of the Trusts. Any additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Trusts on the next business day. Typically, a Trust’s counterparty is not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use cash and non-cash collateral it receives A Trust generally agrees not to use non-cash collateral that it receives but may, absent default or certain other circumstances defined in the underlying ISDA Master Agreement, be permitted to use cash collateral received. In such cases, a Trust may pay interest pursuant to the collateral arrangement with the counterparty. To the extent amounts due to the Trusts from their counterparties are not fully collateralized, the Trusts bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. Likewise, to the extent the Trusts have delivered collateral to a counterparty and stand ready to perform under the terms of their agreement with such counterparty, the Trusts bear the risk of loss from a counterparty in the amount of the value of the collateral in the event the counterparty fails to return such collateral. Based on the terms of agreements, collateral may not be required to all derivative contracts.

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

6. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

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

Each Trust entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Trusts’ investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of

|  | ANNUAL REPORT |  | DECEMBER 31, 2015 |  | 127

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |  |

each Trust’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services to the operations of each Trust. For such services, each Trust pays the Manager a monthly fee at the following annual rates:

Average weekly value of each Trust’s net assets: |  |  |  |
BGR |  |  | 1.20 | %
BDJ |  |  | 0.80 | %
BOE |  |  | 1.00 | %
BME |  |  | 1.00 | %

Average daily value of each Trust’s net assets: |  |  |  |
CII |  |  | 0.85 | %
BGY |  |  | 1.00 | %
BCX |  |  | 1.00 | %
BUI |  |  | 1.00 | %

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

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

|  |  |  |  | Expiration Date |
BST |  |  | 0.20 | % |  |  | December 31, 2018 |
|  |  | 0.15 | % |  |  | December 31, 2019 |
|  |  | 0.10 | % |  |  | December 31, 2020 |
|  |  | 0.05 | % |  |  | December 31, 2021 |

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

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

Prior to July 1, 2015, the Manager had voluntarily agreed to waive 0.05% of the investment advisory fees on BGY as a percentage of its average daily net assets.

These voluntary waivers may be reduced or discontinued at any time without notice.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, investment advisory fees waived which is included in fees waived by the Manager in the Statements of Operations were as follows:

BGR |  | $ | 121,210 |
BDJ |  | $ | 207,534 |
BOE |  | $ | 257,227 |
BGY |  | $ | 613,033 |
BST |  | $ | 885,533 |

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

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

128 |  | ANNUAL REPORT |  | DECEMBER 31, 2015 |  |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |  |

investment advisory fees paid in connection with each Trust’s investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. For the period ended December 31, 2015, the amounts waived pursuant to this arrangement were as follows:

BGR |  | $ | 9,560 |
CII |  | $ | 17,996 |
BDJ |  | $ | 17,074 |
BOE |  | $ | 11,317 |
BME |  | $ | 8,987 |
BGY |  | $ | 28,199 |
BCX |  | $ | 11,707 |
BST |  | $ | 6,330 |
BUI |  | $ | 8,324 |

The Manager entered into separate sub-advisory agreements with BlackRock International Limited (“BIL”), an affiliate of the Manager, to serve as sub-advisor for BGR and BCX. The Manager pays BIL for services it provides to each Trust, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees paid by each Trust to the Manager.

BME has entered into a Distribution Agreement with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”), an affiliate of the Manager, to provide for distribution of BME common shares on a reasonable best efforts basis through an equity shelf offering (a “Shelf Offering”) (the “Distribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, BME compensates BRIL with respect to sales of common shares at a commission rate of 1.00% of the gross proceeds of the sale of BME’s common shares and a portion of such commission is redistributed to broker-dealers engaged by BRIL. The commissions retained by BRIL during the period ended December 31, 2015 amounted to $20,882.

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

Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities, and less the collateral investment expenses. Each Trust retains a portion of securities lending income and remits a remaining portion to BIM as compensation for its services as securities lending agent. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement effective January 1, 2015, BIM may lend securities only when the difference between the borrower rebate rate and the risk free rate exceeds a certain level (such securities, the “specials only securities”).

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

The share of securities lending income earned by each Trust is shown as securities lending — affiliated — net in the Statements of Operations. For the period ended December 31, 2015, each Trust paid BIM the following amounts for securities lending agent services:

BGR |  | $ | 48,018 |
CII |  | $ | 2,523 |
BDJ |  | $ | 9 |
BOE |  | $ | 3,906 |
BME |  | $ | 1,197 |
BGY |  | $ | 8,555 |
BCX |  | $ | 5,692 |
BST |  | $ | 4,998 |
BUI |  | $ | 1,411 |

BUI recorded a payment from an affiliate to compensate for foregone securities lending revenue, which is shown as other income – affiliated in the Statements of Operations.

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

|  | ANNUAL REPORT |  | DECEMBER 31, 2015 |  | 129

The Trusts may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is due solely to having a common investment advisor, common officers, or common trustees. For the period ended December 31, 2015, the purchase and sale transactions with an affiliated fund in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act were as follows:

8. Income Tax Information:

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

The Trusts file U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on each Trust’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the year ended December 31, 2015, the period ended December 31, 2014 and each of the three years ended October 31, 2014 with the exception of BST and BUI. The statutes of limitations on BUI’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the year ended December 31, 2015, the period ended December 31, 2014, the two years ended October 31, 2014 and the period ended October 31, 2012. The statutes of limitations on BST’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the period ended December 31, 2014. The statute of limitations on each Trust’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Trusts’ as of December 31, 2015, inclusive of the open tax years and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Trusts’ financial statements.

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

| 1 |  | The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains (losses) was attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and straddles, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/losses on certain foreign currency contracts, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies, the timing and recognition of partnership income, the characterization of corporate actions, and the deferral of compensation to Trustees.

9. Principal Risks:

In the normal course of business, the Trusts invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer to meet all its obligations, including the ability to pay principal and interest when due (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Trusts may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers of securities owned by the Trusts. Changes arising from the general economy; the overall market and; local, regional or global political, or/and social or instability; as well as currency, interest rate and price fluctuations also affect the securities’ value.

132 |  | ANNUAL REPORT |  | DECEMBER 31, 2015 |  |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |  |

Counterparty Credit Risk: Similar to issuer credit risk, the Trusts may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments related to unsettled or open transactions. The Trusts manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that the Manager believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Trusts to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Trust’s exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is approximately their value recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Trusts.

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.

The Trust’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain less the value of any collateral held by the Trust.

For OTC options purchased, each Trust bears the risk of loss in the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by the Trusts should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Trusts do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Trusts, and not the counterparty, to perform. The Trusts may be exposed to counterparty credit risk with respect to options written to the extent the Trusts deposit collateral with its counterparty to a written option.

With exchange-traded options purchased, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Trusts since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, a Trust does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency). Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange-traded options 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.

Concentration Risk: As of period end, the Trusts listed below invested a significant portion of their assets in securities in the following sectors:

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

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

BOE and BGY invest a substantial amount of their assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. When a Trust concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries may have a significant impact on their investment performance. Foreign issuers may not be subject to the same uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices as used in the U.S. Foreign securities markets may also be less liquid, more volatile, and less subject to governmental supervision not typically associated with investing in United States securities. Investment percentages in specific countries are presented in the Schedule of Investments.

As of period end, BOE’s and BGY’s investments had the following industry classifications:

Industry |  | BOE |  |  | BGY |
Banks |  |  | 9 | % |  |  | 14 | %
Internet Software & Services |  |  | 9 | % |  |  | 2 | %
Pharmaceuticals. |  |  | 7 | % |  |  | 11 | %
Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels |  |  | 6 | % |  |  | 4 | %
Beverages |  |  | 4 | % |  |  | 6 | %
Diversified Telecommunication Services. |  |  | 2 | % |  |  | 5 | %

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

10. Capital Share Transactions:

There are an unlimited number of $0.001 par value common shares of beneficial interest authorized for each Trust, with the exception of CII. CII is authorized to issue 200 million shares of $0.10 par value shares, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. The Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued Common Shares to Preferred Shares without approval of Common Shareholders.

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

Transactions in common shares of beneficial interest during the period ended December 31, 2014 were as follows:

BME |  |  | 117,681 |  |  |  | 45,589 |  |  |  | 67,810 |

For the period ended December 31, 2015, CII, BDJ, BOE, BGY, BCX, BST and BUI, for the period ended December 31, 2014, BGR, CII, BOE, BGY, and BUI and for the year ended October 31, 2014, BGR, CII, BDJ, BOE, BGY, BCX and BUI, shares issued and outstanding remained constant.

BME filed a final prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) allowing it to issue an additional 453,000 Common Shares through a Shelf Offering. Under the Shelf Offering, BME, subject to market conditions, may raise additional equity capital from time to time in varying amounts and utilizing various offering methods at a net price at or above BME’s net asset value (“NAV”) per Common Share (calculated within 48 hours of pricing). As of period end, 200,020 Common Shares remain available for issuance under the Shelf Offering. See Additional Information -Shelf Offering Program for additional information about the Shelf Offering.

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

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust, BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc., BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust, BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust, BlackRock Health Sciences Trust, BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust, BlackRock Science and Technology Trust and BlackRock Utility and Infrastructure Trust, as of December 31, 2015, 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 periods presented, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. We have also audited the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments of BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust (collectively with BlackRock Energy and Resources trust, BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc., BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust, BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust, BlackRock Health Sciences Trust, BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust, BlackRock Science and Technology Trust and BlackRock Utility and Infrastructure Trust, the “Trusts”), as of December 31, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the period then ended, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the periods presented and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trusts’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Trusts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trusts’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2015, 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, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust, BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc., BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust, BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust, BlackRock Health Sciences Trust, BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust, BlackRock Science and Technology Trust and BlackRock Utility and Infrastructure as of December 31, 2015, the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the periods presented, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, and the consolidated financial position of BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust as of December 31, 2015, the consolidated results of its operations and the cash flows for the year then ended, the consolidated changes in net assets for each of the periods presented, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plans |  |

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

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

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

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

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

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. Other than as described on page 142, there have been no changes in the persons who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Trusts’ portfolios.

Additional Information (concluded) |  |

Shelf Offering Program

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

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

Dividend Policy

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

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

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

3

|  | Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.
|  | (e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
|  | (f) Not Applicable
|  | (g) The aggregate non-audit fees paid to the accountant for services rendered by the accountant to the registrant, the Investment Adviser and the Fund Service Providers were:

|  | Entity Name |  | Current Fiscal Year End 12/31/2015 |  | Previous Fiscal Year End 12/31/20144
| BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust |  | $16,147 |  | $4,000

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

|  | Additionally, SSAE 16 Review (Formerly, SAS No. 70) fees for the current and previous fiscal years of $2,391,000 and $2,555,000, respectively, were billed by D&T to the Investment Adviser.
|  | (h) The Committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Investment Adviser, and the Fund Service Providers that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
Item 5 – |  | Audit Committee of Listed Registrants
|  | (a) |  | The following individuals are members of the registrant’s separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)):

Item 6 – |  | Investments
|  | (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) Portfolio Manager 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

6

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 Ms. Macpherson and Messrs. Freedman and Holl may be managing hedge fund and/or long only accounts, or may be part of a team managing hedge fund and/or long only accounts, subject to incentive fees. Ms. Macpherson and Messrs. Freedman and Holl may therefore be entitled to receive a portion of any incentive fees earned on such 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 December 31, 2015:

Portfolio Manager Compensation Overview

The discussion below describes the portfolio managers’ compensation as of December 31, 2015.

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

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

Discretionary Incentive Compensation

Messrs. Freedman and Holl and Ms. Macpherson

Generally, discretionary incentive compensation for Active Equity portfolio managers is based on a formulaic compensation program. BlackRock’s formulaic portfolio manager compensation program is based on team revenue and pre-tax investment performance relative to appropriate competitors or benchmarks over 1-, 3- and 5-year performance periods, as applicable. In most cases, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Funds or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers determine the benchmarks or rankings against which the performance of funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio management team is compared

7

and the period of time over which performance is evaluated. With respect to these portfolio managers, such benchmarks for the Fund and other accounts are:

|  | Portfolio Manager |  | Applicable Benchmarks
|  | Skye Macpherson Joshua Freedman Thomas Holl |  | Euromoney Global Mining Index; FTSE Gold Mines Index; MSCI World Energy; DAX Global Agribusiness Index; WilderHill New Energy Index; BGR Option Overwriting Strategy Composite Index; Wilshire 5000 Modified Energy Index, Equal Weighted; BCX Overwrite Benchmark Strategy Index

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

Discretionary Incentive Compensation

Messrs. Accettella and McClements

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

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

8

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. The portfolio managers of this Fund have unvested long-term incentive awards.

Deferred Compensation Program — A portion of the compensation paid to eligible United States-based BlackRock employees may be voluntarily deferred at their election for defined periods of time into an account that tracks the performance of certain of the firm’s investment products. Messrs. Accettella and McClements are eligible to participate in the deferred compensation program.

Other Compensation Benefits. In addition to base salary and discretionary incentive compensation, portfolio managers may be eligible to receive or participate in one or more of the following:

Incentive Savings Plans — BlackRock, Inc. has created a variety of incentive savings plans in which BlackRock, Inc. employees are eligible to participate, including a 401(k) plan, the BlackRock Retirement Savings Plan (RSP), and the BlackRock Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The employer contribution components of the RSP include a company match equal to 50% of the first 8% of eligible pay contributed to the plan capped at $5,000 per year, and a company retirement contribution equal to 3-5% of eligible compensation up to the Internal Revenue Service limit ($265,000 for 2015). 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. Messrs. Accettella and McClements are eligible to participate in these plans.

Incentive Savings Plans — United Kingdom-based portfolio managers are also eligible to participate in broad-based plans offered generally to BlackRock employees, including broad-based retirement, health and other employee benefit plans. For example, BlackRock has created a variety of incentive savings plans in which BlackRock employees are eligible to participate, including the BlackRock Retirement Savings Plan (RSP) and the BlackRock Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The employer contribution to the RSP is between 6% to 15% (dependent on service related entitlement) of eligible pay capped at £150,000 per annum. The RSP offers a range of investment options, including several collective investment funds managed by the firm. BlackRock contributions follow the investment direction set by participants for their own contributions or, in the absence of an investment election being made, 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 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

9

common stock or a US dollar value of $25,000 based on its fair market value on the purchase date. Ms. Macpherson and Messrs. Freedman and Holl are eligible to participate in these plans.
