(a) | Each Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its net income and net realized capital 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 Fund is returned to the shareholder. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect a Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” When distributions exceed total return performance, the difference will reduce a Fund’s net asset value per share.

Section 19(a) notices for the Funds, as applicable, are available on the BlackRock website at

Managed Distribution Plan
The Funds, each with the approval of its Board of Directors (the “Board”), has adopted a managed distribution 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 Funds currently distribute the following fixed amounts
per share on a monthly basis.

Fund Name | Amount Per Common Share
DSU | $ 0.098730
FRA | 0.123840
BKT | 0.088200
BLW | 0.107900
BIT | 0.123700

The fixed amounts distributed per share are subject to change at the discretion of each Fund
’
s Board. Each Fund is currently not relying on any exemptive relief from
Section 19(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Under its Plan, a Fund will distribute all available investment income to its shareholders
as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If sufficient income (inclusive of net investment income and short-term capital gains) is not earned
on a monthly basis, a Fund 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; however, a Fund may make additional distributions from time to time, including additional capital
gain distributions at the end of the taxable year, if required to meet requirements imposed by the Code and/or the 1940 Act.
Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about a Fund
’
s investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of the Plan. Each Fund
’
s total
return performance is presented in its financial highlights table.
Each Fund
’
s Board may amend, suspend or terminate a Fund
’
s Plan at any time without prior notice to the Fund
’
s shareholders if it deems such actions to be in the best
interests of the Fund or its shareholders. The suspension or termination of the Plan could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if the Fund
’
s stock is trading at or above
net asset value) or widening an existing trading discount. Each Fund is subject to risks that could have an adverse impact on its ability to maintain level distributions. Examples
of potential risks include, but are not limited to, economic downturns impacting the markets, changes in interest rates, decreased market volatility, companies suspending or
decreasing corporate dividend distributions and changes in the Code. Please refer to DSU

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging
The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the distribution rate on, and net asset value (“NAV”) of, their common shares (“Common Shares”). However, there is no
guarantee that these objectives can be achieved in all interest rate environments.
In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the financing cost of leverage, which is based on short-term interest rates, is normally lower than the income
earned by a Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments purchased with the proceeds from leverage. To the extent that the total assets of each Fund (including the assets
obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, each Fund
’
s shareholders benefit from the incremental net income. The interest earned on
securities purchased with the proceeds from leverage (after paying the leverage costs) is paid to shareholders in the form of dividends, and the value of these portfolio holdings
(less the leverage liability) is reflected in the per share NAV.
To illustrate these concepts, assume a Fund’s capitalization is $100 million and it utilizes leverage for an additional $30 million, creating a total value of $130 million available
for investment in longer-term income securities. If prevailing short-term interest rates are 3% and longer-term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive
slope. In this case, a Fund’s financing costs on the $30 million of proceeds obtained from leverage are based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the
securities purchased by a Fund with the proceeds from leverage earn income based on longer-term interest rates. In this case, a Fund’s financing cost of leverage is
significantly lower than the income earned on a Fund’s longer-term investments acquired from such leverage proceeds, and therefore the holders of Common Shares
(“Common Shareholders”) are the beneficiaries of the incremental net income.
However, in order to benefit shareholders, the return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds must exceed the ongoing costs associated with the leverage. If interest and
other costs of leverage exceed a Fund
’
s return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds, income to shareholders is lower than if a Fund had not used leverage.
Furthermore, the value of the Funds’ portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can influence the value
of portfolio investments. In contrast, the amount of each Fund
’
s obligations under its respective leverage arrangement generally does not fluctuate in relation to interest rates.
As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Funds’ NAVs positively or negatively. Changes in the future direction of interest rates are very difficult to predict
accurately, and there is no assurance that a Fund
’
s intended leveraging strategy will be successful.
The use of leverage also generally causes greater changes in each Fund
’
s NAV, market price and dividend rates than comparable portfolios without leverage. In a declining
market, leverage is likely to cause a greater decline in the NAV and market price of a Fund’s shares than if the Fund were not leveraged. In addition, each Fund may be required
to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the
terms of leverage instruments, which may cause the Fund to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit a Fund’s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain
types of hedging strategies. Each Fund incurs expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by shareholders and may reduce income to the
shareholders. Moreover, to the extent the calculation of each Fund
’
s investment advisory fees includes assets purchased with the proceeds of leverage, the investment
advisory fees payable to the Funds’ investment adviser will be higher than if the Funds did not use leverage.
Each Fund may utilize leverage through a credit facility or reverse repurchase agreements as described in the Notes to Financial Statements, if applicable.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), each Fund is permitted to borrow money (including through the use of TOB Trusts) or issue debt
securities up to 33 1/3% of its total managed assets. A Fund may voluntarily elect to limit its leverage to less than the maximum amount permitted under the 1940 Act. In
addition, a Fund may also be subject to certain asset coverage, leverage or portfolio composition requirements imposed by its credit facility, which may be more stringent than
those imposed by the 1940 Act.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Funds may invest in various derivative financial instruments. These instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, commodity, index, market, and/or other assets
without owning or taking physical custody of securities, commodities and/or other referenced assets 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 and 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 instrument.
Pursuant to Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, among other things, the Funds must either use derivative financial instruments with embedded leverage in a limited manner or
comply with an outer limit on fund leverage risk based on value-at-risk. The Funds
’
successful use of a derivative financial instrument depends on the investment adviser’s
ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of these instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used,
may limit the amount of appreciation a Fund can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to shareholders. The Funds’ investments in these
instruments, if any, are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

s allocation to BBB and BB rated issues and trimmed its position in CCCs. It also increased the allocation to B2s, moving from a
small underweight to a slight overweight. Conversely, it decreased the position in B1s from an overweight to an underweight.
The Fund continued to use liquid, index-based derivatives in the loan and high yield markets to manage its positioning.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
The Fund was overweight in BBBs and B2/B3s. It also maintained a small but important overweight in CCCs to capitalize on idiosyncratic opportunities. The Fund’s largest
overweights were in the technology, diversified manufacturing, and property and casualty sectors, whereas its most significant underweights were in retailers, cable and

BlackRock Floating Rate Income Strategies Fund, Inc.
’
s (FRA) (the “Fund”)
investment objective is to provide shareholders with high current income and such
preservation of capital as is consistent with investment in a diversified, leveraged portfolio consisting primarily of floating rate debt securities and instruments. The Fund seeks
to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its managed assets in floating rate debt securities, including floating or variable
rate debt securities that pay interest at rates that adjust whenever a specified interest rate changes and/or which reset on predetermined dates (such as the last day of a month
or calendar quarter). The Fund invests a substantial portion of its investments in floating rate debt securities consisting of secured or unsecured senior floating rate loans that
are rated below investment grade at the time of investment or, if unrated, are considered by the investment adviser to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest directly
in floating rate debt securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

The following discussion relates to the Fund’s absolute performance based on NAV:
What factors influenced performance?
Performance of the Fund benefited over the period from an allocation to last cash flow structures within agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) as spreads
tightened, as well as agency mortgage-backed security (“MBS”) derivatives including interest-only securities. Allocations across agency commercial mortgage-backed
securities (“CMBS”) including single-asset/single-borrower (“SASB”) and interest-only securities also proved additive.
Tactical positioning with respect to portfolio duration and corresponding interest rate sensitivity detracted, specifically a long duration bias as Treasury yields moved higher over
the period.
The Fund
’
s practice of maintaining a speciﬁed level of monthly distributions to shareholders did not have a material impact on the Fund

s investment strategy.

(continued)
BlackRock Income Trust, Inc. (BKT)
Describe recent portfolio activity.
The Fund
’
s substantial allocation to well-structured agency CMOs as a source of high-quality income was slightly reduced over the period. The allocation to agency MBS
pass-throughs was also reduced slightly while increasing the underweight to low coupon pools and increasing the overweight to middle coupons. The allocation to CMBS was
increased.
The Fund held derivatives during the period as a part of its investment strategy and can sometimes have notional derivative exposure greater than 20%. Derivatives are used
by the portfolio management team as a means to hedge and/or take outright views on interest rates and/or credit risk positions in the portfolio. Specifically, the portfolio used
Treasury futures to express duration bias and curve bias. The Fund also tactically allocates to mortgage derivatives to gain market exposure to specific collateral stories when
relative value opportunities present themselves.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
At the end of the period, the Fund held a substantial allocation to well-structured agency CMOs as well as agency MBS passthrough securities with a focus on middle coupons.
Holdings were focused on seasoned collateral, which demonstrates more favorable prepayment performance across both higher and lower mortgage rate regimes relative to
generic collateral. The Fund held a modest but increased allocation to floating rate, AAA-rated non-agency CMBS to augment income, with a focus on SASB issues in order
to be more discerning with respect to the underlying collateral.

performance.
More information about the Fund’s historical performance can be found in the “Closed End Funds” section of
blackrock.com
.
The following discussion relates to the Fund’s absolute performance based on NAV:
What factors influenced performance?
The largest contributors to the Fund
’
s absolute performance over the period included exposure to a range of credit-oriented sectors including bank loans, high yield corporate
bonds, collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and capital securities. Exposure to emerging markets debt also proved additive.
The largest detractor from the Fund
’
s performance was its use of derivatives, including Treasury futures, currency forwards, currency options, interest rate swaps and credit
default swaps. Derivative securities were employed primarily to adjust duration (sensitivity to interest rate changes) and yield curve exposure, as well as to hedge credit and
currency risk. Currency forwards were used to provide the portfolio with active currency exposure. Exposure to U.S. Treasuries and agency mortgage-backed securities
(“MBS”) detracted as well.
The Fund
’
s practice of maintaining a speciﬁed level of monthly distributions to shareholders did not have a material impact on the Fund
’
s investment strategy.
Describe recent portfolio activity.
The Fund traded duration tactically over the period amid mixed economic data, while maintaining an overall long-duration bias due to slowing inflation and as a hedge against
any widening in credit spreads. The Fund initially increased exposure to high yield corporate bonds as the sector benefited from an uptick in credit quality as well as a decrease
in net supply.
As volatility decreased and agency MBS spreads compressed, the Fund reduced exposure in the sector while taking profits. Toward the end of the period,
indexed exposure to high yield credit default swaps was added as a hedge against potential spread widening due to uncertainty surrounding the U.S. presidential election.
Finally, in June 2024, the Fund added positions in shorter maturity U.S. Treasuries to benefit from any curve steepening.
Describe portfolio positioning at period end.
At period end, the Fund maintained diversified exposure to non-government spread sectors including bank loans, high yield and investment grade corporate bonds, and CLOs.
As noted, the Fund also held exposure to U.S. Treasuries. The Fund was positioned with an overweight to duration and corresponding interest rate sensitivity versus the
benchmark on the view that the United States Federal Reserve was poised to begin cutting interest rates later this year.

Positive contributions to the Fund

s performance over the period were highlighted by exposure to U.S. high yield corporate bonds. In addition, exposure to non-agency
residential mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) proved additive.
The principal detractor from the Fund
’

Describe recent portfolio activity.
The Fund continued to favor CLOs as a high quality source of attractive risk-adjusted income, and as such increased its allocation to the sector. The Fund
’
s allocation to high
yield corporate bonds was also increased as a source of incremental yield given sound fundamentals within the sector. Conversely, the Fund reduced the allocation to
investment grade corporate bonds as spreads narrowed, realizing gains in doing so.

BlackRock Debt Strategies Fund, Inc. | DSU | Maryland | Diversified
BlackRock Floating Rate Income Strategies Fund, Inc. | FRA | Maryland | Diversified
BlackRock Income Trust, Inc. | BKT | Maryland | Diversified

The Boards of Directors and Boards of Trustees of the Funds are collectively referred to throughout this report as the “Board,” and the directors/trustees thereof are collectively
referred to throughout this report as “Directors”. The Funds determine and make available for publication the net asset values (“NAVs”) of their Common Shares on a daily
basis.
The Funds, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) or its affiliates, are included in a complex of
funds referred to as the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex.
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The 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 Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to
investment companies. Below is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Investment
Transactions and Income Recognition:
For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are executed.
Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method.
Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are
recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend dates at fair value.
Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend
dates may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend dates. 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, a portion 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, and payment-in-kind interest are recognized daily on an accrual basis.
For convertible securities, premiums attributable to the debt instrument are amortized, but
premiums attributable to the conversion feature are not amortized.
Foreign Currency
Translation:
Each Fund’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. 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 trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). 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.
Each Fund does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market prices of investments 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.
Each
Fund reports 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 U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Foreign Taxes:
The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, capital gains on investments, or certain foreign
currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which each
Fund
invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by each
Fund and are reflected in its Statements of Operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a
reduction of income, foreign taxes on securities lending income are presented as a reduction of securities lending income, foreign taxes on stock dividends are presented as
“Foreign taxes withheld”, and foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign taxes on foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net
realized gain (loss) categories. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of June 30, 2024, if any, are disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The Funds file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Funds may record a reclaim receivable based on
collectability, which includes factors such as the jurisdiction’s applicable laws, payment history and market convention. The Statements of Operations include tax reclaims
recorded as well as professional and other fees, if any, associated with recovery of foreign withholding taxes.
Bank Overdraft:
The
Funds had outstanding cash disbursements exceeding deposited cash amounts at the custodian during the reporting period. The Funds
are obligated to
repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses, where applicable. For financial reporting purposes, overdraft fees, if any, are included in interest
expense in the Statements of Operations.

Collateralization:
If required by an exchange or counterparty agreement, the Funds may be required to deliver/deposit cash and/or securities to/with an exchange, or
broker-dealer or custodian as collateral for certain investments.
Distributions:
Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid monthly.
Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates and made at least
annually.
The portion of distributions, if any, that exceeds a fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, as measured on a tax basis, constitute a non-taxable return
of capital. The character and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Deferred Compensation Plan:
Under the Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) approved by each Fund
’
s Board, the directors who are not “interested persons” of the
Funds, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Directors”), 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 funds in the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex selected by the Independent Directors.
This has the same economic effect for the Independent Directors as if the Independent Directors had invested the deferred amounts directly in certain funds in the BlackRock
Fixed-Income Complex.
The Plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of each Fund, as applicable. Deferred compensation
liabilities, if any, are included in the Directors
’
and Officer
’
s fees payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will remain as a liability of the Funds until such amounts
are distributed in accordance with the Plan. Net appreciation (depreciation) in the value of participants’ deferral accounts is allocated among the participating funds in the
BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex and reflected as Directors and Officer expense on the Statements of Operations. The Directors and Officer expense may be negative as a
result of a decrease in value of the deferred accounts.
Indemnifications:
In the normal course of business, a Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification. A Fund
’
s
maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against a Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Other:
Expenses directly related to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Other operating expenses shared by several funds, including other funds managed by the Manager, are
prorated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
3.
INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Investment
Valuation Policies:
Each
Fund
’
s investments are valued at fair value (also referred to as “market value” within the
financial statements) each day that the Fund
is open for business and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Board has approved the designation of each
Fund’s Manager as the valuation
designee for each
Fund. Each
Fund determines the fair values of its financial instruments using various independent dealers or pricing services under the Manager’s policies.
If a security’s market price is not readily available or does not otherwise accurately represent the fair value of the security, the security will be valued in accordance with the
Manager’s policies and procedures as reflecting fair value. The Manager has formed a committee (the “Valuation Committee”) to develop pricing policies and procedures and
to oversee the pricing function for all financial instruments, with assistance from other BlackRock pricing committees.
Fair Value Inputs and Methodologies:
The following methods and inputs are used to establish the fair value of each Fund
’
s assets and liabilities:
•
Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s official closing price, as applicable, on the exchange where the stock is primarily
traded. 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.
•
Fixed-income investments for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued using the last available bid price or current market quotations provided
by independent dealers or third-party pricing services. Floating rate loan interests are valued at the mean of the bid prices from one or more independent brokers or
dealers as obtained from a third-party pricing service. Pricing services generally value fixed-income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot
size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. The pricing services may
use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data (e.g., recent representative bids and
offers), market data, credit quality information, perceived market movements, news, and other relevant information. Certain fixed-income securities, including asset-backed
and mortgage related securities may be valued based on valuation models that consider the estimated cash flows of each tranche of the entity, establish a
benchmark yield and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. The amortized cost method
of valuation may be used with respect to debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining to maturity unless the Manager determines such method does not represent
fair value.
•
Exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and closed-end funds traded on a recognized securities exchange are valued at that day’s official closing price, as applicable, on the
exchange where the stock is primarily traded. ETFs and closed-end funds 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.
•
Investments in open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s published NAV.
•
Futures contracts are valued based on that day’s last reported settlement or trade price on the exchange where the contract is traded.
•
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined as of the close of trading on the NYSE based
on that day’s prevailing forward exchange rate for the underlying currencies.
Notes to Financial Statements
171

Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited) (continued)
•
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.
•
Swap agreements are valued utilizing quotes received daily by independent pricing services or through brokers, which are derived using daily swap curves and models
that incorporate a number of market data factors, such as discounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlying reference instruments.
Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of trading on the NYSE. Each business day, the Funds use
current market factors supplied by independent pricing services to value certain foreign instruments (“Systematic Fair Value Price”). The Systematic Fair Value Price is
designed to value such foreign securities at fair value as of the close of trading on the NYSE, which follows the close of the local markets.
If events (e.g., market volatility, company announcement or a natural disaster) occur that are expected to materially affect the value of such investment, or in the event that
application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not
available, the investment will be valued by the Valuation Committee in accordance with the Manager’s policies and procedures as reflecting fair value (“Fair Valued
Investments”). The fair valuation approaches that may be used by the Valuation Committee include market approach, income approach and cost approach. Valuation
techniques such as discounted cash flow, use of market comparables and matrix pricing are types of valuation approaches and are typically used in determining fair value.
When determining the price for Fair Valued Investments, the Valuation Committee seeks to determine the price that each Fund 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 Valuation
Committee deems relevant and consistent with the principles of fair value measurement.
For investments in equity or debt issued by privately held companies or funds (“Private Company” or collectively, the “Private Companies”) and other Fair Valued Investments,
the fair valuation approaches that are used by the Valuation Committee and third-party pricing services utilized by the Valuation Committee include one or a combination of, but
not limited to, the following inputs.

| Standard Inputs Generally Considered By The Valuation Committee And Third-Party Pricing Services
Market approach | (i) | recent market transactions, including subsequent rounds of financing, in the underlying investment or comparable issuers;
| (ii) | recapitalizations and other transactions across the capital structure; and
| (iii) | market multiples of comparable issuers.
Income approach | (i) | future cash flows discounted to present and adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, and/or market risks;
| (ii) | quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and
| (iii) | other risk factors, such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts and/or default rates.
Cost approach | (i) | audited or unaudited financial statements, investor communications and financial or operational metrics issued by the Private Company;
| (ii) | changes in the valuation of relevant indices or publicly traded companies comparable to the Private Company;
| (iii) | relevant news and other public sources; and
| (iv) | known secondary market transactions in the Private Company ’ s interests and merger or acquisition activity in companies comparable to the Private Company.

Investments in series of preferred stock issued by Private Companies are typically valued utilizing market approach in determining the enterprise value of the company. Such
investments often contain rights and preferences that differ from other series of preferred and common stock of the same issuer. Enterprise valuation techniques such as an
option pricing model (“OPM”), a probability weighted expected return model (“PWERM”), current value method or a hybrid of those techniques are used as deemed appropriate
under the circumstances. The use of these valuation techniques involves a determination of the exit scenarios of the investment in order to appropriately allocate the enterprise
value of the company among the various parts of its capital structure.
The Private Companies are not subject to the public company disclosure, timing, and reporting standards applicable to other investments held by a Fund. Typically, the most
recently available information by a Private Company is as of a date that is earlier than the date a Fund is calculating its NAV. This factor may result in a difference between the
value of the investment and the price a Fund could receive upon the sale of the investment.
Fair Value Hierarchy:
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value
hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:
•
Level 1 – Unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that each Fund has the ability to access;

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.
Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable
inputs used by the Valuation Committee in determining the price for Fair Valued Investments. Level 3 investments include equity or debt issued by Private Companies that may
not have a secondary market and/or may have a limited number of investors.
The categorization of a value determined for financial instruments is based on the pricing
transparency of the financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
As of June 30, 2024, certain investments of BLW were fair valued using NAV as a practical expedient as no quoted market value is available and therefore have been excluded
from the fair value hierarchy.

SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities:
Asset-backed securities are generally issued as pass-through certificates or as debt instruments. Asset-backed securities
issued as pass-through certificates represent undivided fractional ownership interests in an underlying pool of assets. Asset-backed securities issued as debt instruments,
which are also known as collateralized obligations, are typically issued as the debt of a special purpose entity organized solely for the purpose of owning such assets and
issuing such debt. Asset-backed securities are often backed by a pool of assets representing the obligations of a number of different parties. The yield characteristics of certain
asset-backed securities may differ from traditional debt securities. One such major difference is that all or a principal part of the obligations may be prepaid at any time because
the underlying assets (i.e., loans) may be prepaid at any time. As a result, a decrease in interest rates in the market may result in increases in the level of prepayments as
borrowers, particularly mortgagors, refinance and repay their loans. An increased prepayment rate with respect to an asset-backed security will have the effect of shortening
the maturity of the security. In addition, a fund may subsequently have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates. If a fund has purchased such an asset-backed security
at a premium, a faster than anticipated prepayment rate could result in a loss of principal to the extent of the premium paid.
For mortgage pass-through securities (the “Mortgage Assets”) there are a number of important differences among the agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government
that issue mortgage-related securities and among the securities that they issue. For example, mortgage-related securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae are guaranteed as to the
timely payment of principal and interest by Ginnie Mae and such guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. However, mortgage-related securities
issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates, which are solely the obligations of Freddie
Mac and Fannie Mae, are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States, but are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury.
Non-agency mortgage-backed securities are securities issued by non-governmental issuers and have no direct or indirect government guarantees of payment and are subject
to various risks. Non-agency mortgage loans are obligations of the borrowers thereunder only and are not typically insured or guaranteed by any other person or entity. The
ability of a borrower to repay a loan is dependent upon the income or assets of the borrower. A number of factors, including a general economic downturn, acts of God,
terrorism, social unrest and civil disturbances, may impair a borrower’s ability to repay its loans.
Collateralized Debt Obligations:
Collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), including collateralized bond obligations (“CBOs”) and collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), are
types of asset-backed securities. A CDO is an entity that is backed by a diversified pool of debt securities (CBOs) or syndicated bank loans (CLOs). The cash flows of the CDO
can be split into multiple segments, called “tranches,” which will vary in risk profile and yield. The riskiest segment is the subordinated or “equity” tranche. This tranche bears
the greatest risk of defaults from the underlying assets in the CDO and serves to protect the other, more senior, tranches from default in all but the most severe circumstances.
Since it is shielded from defaults by the more junior tranches, a “senior” tranche will typically have higher credit ratings and lower yields than their underlying securities, and
often receive investment grade ratings from one or more of the nationally recognized rating agencies. Despite the protection from the more junior tranches, senior tranches can
experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, increased sensitivity to future defaults and the disappearance of one or more protecting tranches as a result of changes
in the credit profile of the underlying pool of assets.
Multiple Class Pass-Through Securities:
Multiple class pass-through securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) and commercial mortgage-backed
securities, may be issued by Ginnie Mae, U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities or by trusts formed by private originators of, or investors in, mortgage loans. In
general, CMOs are debt obligations of a legal entity that are collateralized by a pool of residential or commercial mortgage loans or Mortgage Assets. The payments on these
are used to make payments on the CMOs or multiple pass-through securities. Multiple class pass-through securities represent direct ownership interests in the Mortgage
Assets. Classes of CMOs include interest only (“IOs”), principal only (“POs”), planned amortization classes and targeted amortization classes. IOs and POs are stripped
mortgage-backed securities representing interests in a pool of mortgages, the cash flow from which has been separated into interest and principal components. IOs receive the
interest portion of the cash flow while POs receive the principal portion. IOs and POs can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise
and fall, the value of IOs tends to move in the same direction as interest rates. POs perform best when prepayments on the underlying mortgages rise since this increases the
rate at which the principal is returned and the yield to maturity on the PO. When payments on mortgages underlying a PO are slower than anticipated, the life of the PO is
lengthened and the yield to maturity is reduced. If the underlying Mortgage Assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a fund’s initial investment in
the IOs may not fully recoup.
Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities:
Stripped mortgage-backed securities are typically issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities. Stripped
mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest (IOs) and principal (POs) distributions on a pool of
Mortgage Assets. Stripped mortgage-backed securities may be privately issued.
Zero-Coupon Bonds:
Zero-coupon bonds are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. These bonds may
experience greater volatility in market value than other debt obligations of similar maturity which provide for regular interest payments.
Capital Securities and Trust Preferred Securities:
Capital securities, including trust preferred securities, are typically issued by corporations, generally in the form of
interest-bearing notes with preferred securities characteristics. In the case of trust preferred securities, an affiliated business trust of a corporation issues these securities,
generally in the form of beneficial interests in subordinated debentures or similarly structured securities. The securities can be structured with either a fixed or adjustable
coupon that can have either a perpetual or stated maturity date. For trust preferred securities, the issuing bank or corporation pays interest to the trust, which is then distributed

to holders of these securities as a dividend. Dividends can be deferred without creating an event of default or acceleration, although maturity cannot take place unless all
cumulative payment obligations have been met. The deferral of payments does not affect the purchase or sale of these securities in the open market. These securities
generally are rated below that of the issuing company’s senior debt securities and are freely callable at the issuer’s option.
Preferred Stocks:
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.
Warrants:
Warrants entitle a fund to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock and are non-income producing. The purchase price and number of shares are
subject to adjustment under certain conditions until the expiration date of the warrants, if any. If the price of the underlying stock does not rise above the strike price before the
warrant expires, the warrant generally expires without any value and a fund will lose any amount it paid for the warrant. Thus, investments in warrants may involve more risk
than investments in common stock. Warrants may trade in the same markets as their underlying stock; however, the price of the warrant does not necessarily move with the
price of the underlying stock.
Floating Rate Loan Interests:
Floating rate loan interests are typically issued to companies (the “borrower”) by banks, other financial institutions, or privately and publicly
offered corporations (the “lender”). Floating rate loan interests are generally non-investment grade, often involve borrowers whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain
and companies that are highly leveraged or in bankruptcy proceedings. In addition, transactions in floating rate loan interests may settle on a delayed basis, which may result
in proceeds from the sale not being readily available for a fund to make additional investments or meet its redemption obligations. Floating rate loan interests may include fully
funded term loans or revolving lines of credit. Floating rate loan interests are typically senior in the corporate capital structure of the borrower. Floating rate loan interests
generally pay interest at rates that are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. Since the rates reset only periodically, changes in prevailing
interest rates (and particularly sudden and significant changes) can be expected to cause some fluctuations in the NAV of a fund to the extent that it invests in floating rate loan
interests. The base lending rates are generally the lending rate offered by one or more European banks, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), the prime
rate offered by one or more U.S. banks or the certificate of deposit rate. Floating rate loan interests may involve foreign borrowers, and investments may be denominated in
foreign currencies. These investments are treated as investments in debt securities for purposes of a fund’s investment policies.
When a fund purchases a floating rate loan interest, it may receive a facility fee and when it sells a floating rate loan interest, it may pay a facility fee. On an ongoing basis, a
fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit amount of a floating rate loan interest. Facility and commitment fees are
typically amortized to income over the term of the loan or term of the commitment, respectively. Consent and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned. Prepayment
penalty fees, which may be received by a fund upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan interest by a borrower, are recorded as realized gains. A fund may invest in multiple
series or tranches of a loan. A different series or tranche may have varying terms and carry different associated risks.
Floating rate loan interests are usually freely callable at the borrower’s option. A fund may invest in such loans in the form of participations in loans (“Participations”) or
assignments (“Assignments”) of all or a portion of loans from third parties. Participations typically will result in a fund having a contractual relationship only with the lender, not
with the borrower. A fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the Participation and only upon
receipt by the lender of the payments from the borrower. In connection with purchasing Participations, a fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower
with the terms of the loan agreement, nor any rights of offset against the borrower. A fund may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has
purchased the Participation. As a result, a fund assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the Participation. A fund’s investment in loan
participation interests involves the risk of insolvency of the financial intermediaries who are parties to the transactions. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling the
Participation, a fund may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any offset between the lender and the borrower. Assignments typically result
in a fund having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and a fund may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.
In connection with floating rate loan interests, the Funds may also enter into unfunded floating rate loan interests (“commitments”). In connection with these commitments, a
fund earns a commitment fee, typically set as a percentage of the commitment amount. Such fee income, which is included in interest income in the Statements of Operations,
is recognized ratably over the commitment period. Unfunded floating rate loan interests are marked-to-market daily, and any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is included
in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Operations. As of period end, the Funds had the following unfunded floating rate loan interests:

Fund Name | Borrower | Par | Commitment Amount | Value | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

Forward Commitments, When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities:
The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase or sell securities
on a forward commitment basis. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. The Funds may
purchase securities under such conditions with the intention of actually acquiring them but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date.
Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Funds may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, a fund
is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of
the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Funds
’
maximum amount of loss is the unrealized appreciation of
unsettled when-issued transactions. These types of securities may be considered unfunded and may obligate the
Funds to make future cash payments. An unfunded
commitment is marked-to-market and any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is separately presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of
Operations.
TBA Commitments:
TBA commitments are forward agreements for the purchase or sale of securities, including mortgage-backed securities for a fixed price, with payment
and delivery on an agreed upon future settlement date. The specific securities to be delivered are not identified at the trade date. However, delivered securities must meet
specified terms, including issuer, rate and mortgage terms. When entering into TBA commitments, a fund may take possession of or deliver the underlying mortgage-backed
securities but can extend the settlement or roll the transaction. TBA commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases,
respectively, prior to settlement date, if there are expenses or delays in connection with the TBA transactions, or if the counterparty fails to complete the transaction.
In order to better define contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a fund mitigate its counterparty risk, TBA commitments may be entered into by a fund under Master
Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (each, an “MSFTA”).
An MSFTA typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event
of default and/or termination event. 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 the collateral currently pledged by a fund and the counterparty. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover the obligations of a fund
and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral for TBA commitments
or cash received as collateral for TBA commitments, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by a fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Typically, a fund is
permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral it receives; however, the counterparty is not permitted to do so. To the extent amounts due to a fund are not fully collateralized,
contractually or otherwise, a fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.
Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions:
The Funds may sell TBA mortgage-backed securities and simultaneously contract to repurchase substantially similar (i.e., same type,
coupon and maturity) securities on a specific future date at an agreed upon price. During the period between the sale and repurchase, a fund is not entitled to receive interest
and principal payments on the securities sold. Mortgage dollar roll transactions are treated as purchases and sales and a fund realizes gains and losses on these transactions.
Mortgage dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the securities that a fund is required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those
securities.
Borrowed Bond Agreements:
Repurchase agreements may be referred to as borrowed bond agreements when entered into in connection with short sales of bonds. In a
borrowed bond agreement, a fund borrows a bond from a counterparty in exchange for cash collateral. The agreement contains a commitment that the security and the cash
will be returned to the counterparty and a fund at a mutually agreed upon date. Certain agreements have no stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time.
Earnings on cash collateral and compensation to the lender of the bond are based on agreed upon rates between a fund and the counterparty. The value of the underlying cash
collateral approximates the market value and accrued interest of the borrowed bond. To the extent that a borrowed bond transaction exceeds one business day, the value of
the cash collateral in the possession of the counterparty is monitored on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. As the market value of the borrowed bond
changes, the cash collateral is periodically increased or decreased with a frequency and in amounts prescribed in the borrowed bond agreement. A fund may also experience
delays in gaining access to the collateral.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements:
Reverse repurchase agreements are agreements with qualified third-party broker dealers in which a fund sells securities to a bank or
broker-dealer and agrees to repurchase the same securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. A fund receives cash from the sale to use for other investment purposes.
During the term of the reverse repurchase agreement, a fund continues to receive the principal and interest payments on the securities sold. Certain agreements have no
stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time. Interest on the value of the reverse repurchase agreements issued and outstanding is based upon
competitive market rates determined at the time of issuance. A fund may utilize reverse repurchase agreements when it is anticipated that the interest income to be earned from
the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk. If a fund suffers
a loss on its investment of the transaction proceeds from a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund would still be required to pay the full repurchase price. Further, a fund
remains subject to the risk that the market value of the securities repurchased declines below the repurchase price. In such cases, a fund would be required to return a portion
of the cash received from the transaction or provide additional securities to the counterparty.
Cash received in exchange for securities delivered plus accrued interest due to the counterparty is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at face
value including accrued interest. Due to the short-term nature of the reverse repurchase agreements, face value approximates fair value. Interest payments made by a fund
to the counterparties are recorded as a component of interest expense in the Statements of Operations. In periods of increased demand for the security, a fund may receive
a fee for the use of the security by the counterparty, which may result in interest income to a fund.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the average daily amount of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding and the weighted average interest rate for the Funds were
as follows:

Fund Name | Average Amount Outstanding | Weighted Average Interest Rate
BKT | $ 106,850,840 | 5.30 %
BLW | 292,732,528 | 5.59
BIT | 299,430,042 | 5.43

Borrowed bond agreements and reverse repurchase transactions are entered into by a fund under Master Repurchase Agreements (each, an “MRA”), which permit a fund,
under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or
posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from a fund. With borrowed bond agreements and reverse repurchase transactions, typically a fund and
counterparty under an MRA are permitted to sell, re-pledge, or use the collateral associated with the transaction. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may
impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of the MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, a fund
receives or posts securities and cash as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be paid or received by a fund upon the maturity of the transaction.
Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, a fund is considered an unsecured creditor to the extent that the aggregate market value of the cash collateral and
the purchased securities it holds is less than the repurchase price. As such, the receipt of any shortfall or any closeout amount owed to a fund upon termination of the MRA
could be delayed or not received at all.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Funds engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Funds and/or to manage their exposure to certain
risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk or other risks (e.g., inflation risk). Derivative financial
instruments categorized by risk exposure are included in the Schedules of Investments. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.
Futures Contracts:
Futures contracts are purchased or sold to gain exposure to, or manage exposure to, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk) and changes in the value
of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk).
Futures contracts are exchange-traded agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and
on a specified date. Depending on the terms of a contract, it is settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a
cash amount on the settlement date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds 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.
Amounts pledged, which are considered restricted, are included in cash pledged for futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited, if any, are shown as cash pledged for futures contracts in the
Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Pursuant to the contract, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in market
value of the contract (“variation margin”). Variation margin is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable (or payable)
on futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statements of Operations equal to the
difference between the notional amount of the contract at the time it was opened and the notional amount at the time it was closed. The use of futures contracts involves the
risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts and interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or underlying assets.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
: Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are entered into to gain or reduce exposure to 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 specified date. These contracts help
to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments held by the Funds are denominated and in some cases, may be used to obtain exposure
to a particular market. The contracts are traded OTC and not on an organized exchange.
The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statements
of Assets and Liabilities. When
a contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statements
of Operations equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the
time it was closed. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency. 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, and such value may exceed the amount(s)
reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Cash amounts pledged for forward
foreign currency exchange contracts are considered restricted and are included in cash pledged as collateral for OTC derivatives in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund
’
s
risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund.
Options:
The Funds may purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease their exposure to the risks of underlying instruments, including equity risk, interest
rate risk and/or commodity price risk and/or, in the case of options written, to generate gains from options premiums.
Notes to Financial Statements

A call option gives the purchaser (holder) of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller (writer) to sell (when the option is exercised) the
underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the
writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period.
Premiums paid on options purchased and premiums received on options written, as well as the daily fluctuation in market value, are included in investments at value –
unaffiliated and options written at value, respectively, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When an instrument is purchased or sold through the exercise of an option,
the premium is offset against the cost or proceeds of the underlying instrument. When an option expires, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statements of Operations to
the extent of the premiums received or paid. When an option is closed or sold, a gain or loss is recorded in the Statements of Operations to the extent the cost of the closing
transaction exceeds the premiums received or paid. When the Funds write a call option, such option is typically “covered,” meaning that they hold the underlying instrument
subject to being called by the option counterparty. When the Funds write a put option, cash is segregated in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation. These amounts, which
are considered restricted, are included in cash pledged as collateral for options written in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
•
Swaptions — The Funds may purchase and write options on swaps (“swaptions”) primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of the
Funds
’
holdings, as a duration management technique or to protect against an increase in the price of securities it anticipates purchasing at a later date. The purchaser
and writer of a swaption is buying or granting the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate or credit default swap agreement (interest rate risk and/or
credit risk) at any time before the expiration of the option.
In purchasing and writing options, the Funds bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that they may not be able to enter into
a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Exercise of a written option could result in the Funds purchasing or selling a security when they otherwise would not, or at a price
different from the current market value.
Swaps:
Swap contracts are entered into to manage exposure to issuers, markets and securities. Such contracts are agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to
make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount or a net payment upon termination. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market and may be
entered into as a bilateral contract (“OTC swaps”) or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”).
For OTC swaps, any upfront premiums paid and any upfront fees received are shown as swap premiums paid and swap premiums received, respectively, in the Statements
of
Assets and Liabilities and amortized over the term of the contract. The daily fluctuation in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on OTC swaps in
the Statements
of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received or paid are recorded in the Statements of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. When an OTC swap
is terminated, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statements
of Operations equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the
Funds
’
basis in the contract, if any. Generally, the basis of the contract is the premium received or paid.
In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap contract, the swap contract is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the CCP becomes the
Funds
’
counterparty on the swap. Each
Fund is required to interface with the CCP through the broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, each
Fund is required to
deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited
as initial margin are designated in the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited is shown as cash pledged for centrally cleared swaps in the Statements
of Assets and
Liabilities. Amounts pledged, which are considered restricted cash, are included in cash pledged for centrally cleared swaps in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Pursuant to the contract, each
Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker variation margin. Variation margin is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and
shown as variation margin receivable (or payable) on centrally cleared swaps in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty are
amortized over the term of the contract and recorded as realized gains (losses) in the Statements of Operations, including those at termination.
•
Credit default swaps — Credit default swaps are entered into to manage exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce risk exposure to defaults of
corporate and/or sovereign issuers or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign issuers to which a fund is not otherwise exposed (credit risk).
The Funds
may either buy or sell (write) credit default swaps on single-name issuers (corporate or sovereign), a combination or basket of single-name issuers or traded
indexes. Credit default swaps are agreements in which the protection buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a promise from the protection
seller to make a specific payment should a negative credit event take place with respect to the referenced entity (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation acceleration,
repudiation, moratorium or restructuring). As a buyer, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Funds
will either (i) receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional
amount of the swap and deliver the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index, or (ii) receive a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount
of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index. As a seller (writer), if an underlying credit event occurs, the Funds
will
either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or
pay a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index.
•
Total return swaps — Total return swaps are entered into to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning such security or investing directly in such market or
to exchange the risk/return of one security or market (e.g., fixed-income) with another security or market (e.g., equity or commodity prices) (equity risk, commodity price
risk and/or interest rate risk).
Total return swaps are agreements in which there is an exchange of cash flows whereby one party commits to make payments based on the total return (distributions
plus capital gains/losses) of an underlying instrument, or basket of underlying instruments, in exchange for fixed or floating rate interest payments. If the total return of
the instrument(s) or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting fixed or floating interest rate obligation, the Funds receive payment from or
make a payment to the counterparty.
•
Interest rate swaps — Interest rate swaps are entered into to gain or reduce exposure to interest rates or to manage duration, the yield curve or interest rate (interest
rate risk).

BlackRock Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders

Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited) (continued)
Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, in exchange for another party’s stream of interest
payments, either fixed or floating, on the same notional amount for a specified period of time. In more complex interest rate swaps, the notional principal amount may
decline (or amortize) over time.
Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit and market risks in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and
Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to
perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated
with these transactions.
Master Netting Arrangements:
In order to define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help it mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund may enter into an International
Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master
Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a
Fund 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, a
Fund 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. However, bankruptcy or
insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
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 the Funds
and the counterparty.
Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds
and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately in the Statements
of
Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Funds, if any, is noted in the Schedules
of
Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty is subject to a certain minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required, which is
determined at the close of business of the Funds. Any additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Funds
on the next business day. Typically, the counterparty
is not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use cash and non-cash collateral it receives. A
Fund
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, interest may be paid pursuant
to the collateral arrangement with the counterparty. To the extent amounts due to the Funds
from the counterparties are not fully collateralized, each
Fund
bears the risk of loss
from counterparty non-performance. Likewise, to the extent the
Funds
have
delivered collateral to a counterparty and stand
ready to perform under the terms of
their
agreement with such counterparty, each
Fund
bears the risk of loss from a counterparty in the amount of the value of the collateral in the event the counterparty fails to
return such collateral. Based on the terms of agreements, collateral may not be required for all derivative contracts.
For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do
not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements, if any, in the Statements of Assets
and Liabilities.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Investment Advisory:
Each Fund entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Manager, the Funds
’
investment adviser and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary
of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”), to provide investment advisory and administrative services. The Manager is responsible for the management of each Fund
’
s portfolio and
provides the personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Fund.
For such services, DSU and FRA pay the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate equal to the following percentages of the average daily value of each Fund’s net assets, plus
the proceeds of any debt securities or outstanding borrowings used for leverage:

| DSU | FRA
Investment advisory fees | 0.55 % | 0.75 %

For purposes of calculating these fees, “net assets” mean the total assets of each Fund minus the sum of its accrued liabilities.
For such services, BKT pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate equal to 0.65% of the average weekly value of the Fund’s net assets. For purposes of calculating this
fee, “net assets” means the total assets of the Fund minus the sum of its accrued liabilities (including the aggregate indebtedness constituting financial leverage).
For such services, BLW pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate equal to 0.55% of the average weekly value of the Fund’s managed assets, including the proceeds
of any debt securities or outstanding borrowings used for leverage.
For such services, BIT pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate equal to 0.80% of the average daily value of the Fund’s managed assets. For purposes of calculating
this fee, “managed assets” are determined as total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to money borrowed for investment purposes) less the sum of its
accrued liabilities (other than money borrowed for investment purposes).
With respect to each Fund, the Manager entered into separate sub-advisory agreements with BlackRock International Limited (“BIL”), an affiliate of the Manager. With respect
to BLW and BIT, the Manager also entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock (Singapore) Limited (“BSL”), an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays
BIL and BSL for services they provide for that portion of each Fund for which BIL and BSL, as applicable, acts as sub-adviser, a monthly fee that is equal to a percentage of the
investment advisory fees paid by each Fund to the Manager.
Distribution Fees:
DSU, BKT, BLW and BIT have each entered into a Distribution Agreement with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”), an affiliate of the Manager, to provide
for distribution of DSU, BKT, BLW and BIT
common shares on a reasonable best efforts basis through an equity shelf offering (a “Shelf Offering”) (the “Distribution Agreement”).
Notes to Financial Statements

Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, BRIL will receive commissions with respect to sales of common shares at a commission rate of 1.00% of the gross proceeds of the sale
of DSU
’
s, BKT
’
s BLW
’
s and BIT’s common shares and a portion of such commission is re-allowed to broker-dealers engaged by BRIL. The commissions retained by BRIL
during the period ended June 30, 2024 amounted to $11,427, $0, $0 and $22,343 for each of DSU, BKT, BLW and BIT respectively.
Administration:
BKT has an Administration Agreement with the Manager. The administration fee paid monthly to the Manager is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the
Fund’s average weekly net assets. For BKT, the Manager may reduce or discontinue this arrangement at any time without notice.
Expense Waivers and Reimbursements:
With respect to each Fund, the Manager contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment
advisory fees each Fund pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds (the “affiliated money market fund waiver") through June 30,
2025. The contractual agreement may be terminated upon 90 days’ notice by a majority of the Independent
Directors, or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of a
Fund. These amounts are included in fees waived and/or reimbursed by the Manager in the Statements
of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2024,
the amounts waived were as follows:

Fund Name | Fees Waived and/or Reimbursed by the Manager
DSU | $ 519
FRA | 129
BKT | 1,505
BLW | 1,141
BIT | 2,951

The Manager contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee with respect to any portion of each
Fund
’
s assets invested in affiliated equity and fixed-income mutual
funds and affiliated exchange-traded funds that have a contractual management fee through June 30, 2025. The agreement can be renewed for annual periods thereafter, and
may be terminated on 90 days’ notice, each subject to approval by a majority of the Funds
’
Independent Directors. These amounts are included in fees waived and/or
reimbursed by the Manager in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the amounts waived in investment advisory fees pursuant to these
arrangements were as follows:

Fund Name | Fees Waived and/or Reimbursed by the Manager
DSU | $ 2,016
FRA | 13,624

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

INCOME TAX INFORMATION
It is each
Fund
’
s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute
substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no U.S. federal income tax provision is required.
Each
Fund files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on each
Fund
’
s
U.S. federal tax returns generally remains open for a period of three years after they are filed. The statutes of limitations on each
Fund
’
s state and local tax returns may remain
open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

BANK BORROWINGS
DSU and FRA
are party to a senior committed secured, 360-day rolling line of credit facility and a separate security agreement (the “SSB Agreement”) with State Street Bank
and Trust Company (“SSB”). SSB may elect to terminate its commitment upon 360-days written notice to DSU and FRA. As of period end, DSU and FRA
have not received any
notice to terminate. DSU and FRA
have granted a security interest in substantially all of their assets to SSB.
The SSB Agreement allows for the following maximum commitment amounts:

Fund Name | Commitment Amounts
DSU | $ 276,000,000
FRA | 255,000,000

Advances will be made by SSB to DSU and FRA, at DSU’s and FRA’s option of (a) Daily Simple SOFR plus 0.80% or (b) One Month Term SOFR plus 0.80%. SOFR and One
Month Term SOFR are subject to a 0% floor.
In addition, DSU and FRA paid a commitment fee (based on the daily unused portion of the commitments). Advances to DSU and FRA as of period end, if any, are shown in
the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as bank borrowings. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the line of credit and the variable interest rate, the carrying
amount of the borrowings approximates fair value.
DSU and FRA may not declare dividends or make other distributions on shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the declaration, distribution or purchase, asset
coverage with respect to the outstanding borrowings is less than 300%.
For the six months
ended June 30, 2024, the maximum amount borrowed, the average daily borrowing and the weighted average interest rate, if any, under the credit
agreement were as follows:

Fund Name | Maximum Amount Borrowed | Average Amount Outstanding | Daily Weighted Average Interest Rate
DSU | $ 149,000,000 | $ 135,708,791 | 6.22 %
FRA | 152,000,000 | 137,131,868 | 6.22

10.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
In the normal course of business, the Funds
invest in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject each
Fund to various
risks, including among others, fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations. The value of securities or other instruments may also
be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social instability;
(iii) regulation, taxation or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate and price fluctuations. Local, regional or global events such as war,
acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Funds and their investments.
Illiquidity Risk:
Each Fund may invest without limitation in illiquid or less liquid investments or investments in which no
secondary
market is readily available or which are
otherwise illiquid, including private placement securities. A Fund may not be able to readily dispose of such investments at prices that approximate those at which a Fund could
Notes to Financial Statements
181

Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
(co
ntinued)
sell such investments if they were more widely traded and, as a result of such illiquidity, a Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions if
necessary to raise funds to meet its obligations. Limited liquidity can also affect the market price of investments, thereby adversely affecting a Fund’s NAV and ability to make
dividend distributions. Privately issued debt securities are often of below investment grade quality, frequently are unrated and present many of the same risks as investing in
below investment grade public debt securities.
Market Risk:
Each
Fund may be exposed to prepayment risk, which is the risk that borrowers may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled during
periods of declining interest rates, which would force each
Fund to reinvest in lower yielding securities. Each
Fund
may also be exposed to reinvestment risk, which is the risk
that income from each
Fund’s portfolio will decline if each
Fund invests the proceeds from matured, traded or called fixed-income securities at market interest rates that are
below each
Fund portfolio’s current earnings rate.
Valuation Risk:
The market values of equities, such as common stocks and preferred securities or equity related investments, such as futures and options, may decline due
to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries.
A
Fund may invest in illiquid investments. An illiquid investment is any investment that a
Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions
in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. A
Fund may experience difficulty in selling illiquid
investments in a timely manner at the price that it believes the investments are worth. Prices may fluctuate widely over short or extended periods in response to company,
market or economic news. Markets also tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. This volatility may cause each
Fund’s NAV to experience significant
increases or decreases over short periods of time. If there is a general decline in the securities and other markets, the NAV of a
Fund may lose value, regardless of the
individual results of the securities and other instruments in which a
Fund invests.
The price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any particular portfolio investment may differ from a Fund
’
s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in
thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair valuation technique or a price provided by an independent pricing service. Changes to significant unobservable inputs and
assumptions (i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit) due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore
a Fund
’
s results of operations. As a result, the price received upon the sale of an investment may be less than the value ascribed by a Fund, and a Fund could realize a greater
than expected loss or lesser than expected gain upon the sale of the investment. A Fund
’
s ability to value its investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or
errors by pricing services or other third-party service providers.
Counterparty Credit Risk:
The Funds 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, including making timely interest and/or principal payments or otherwise honoring its obligations. The Funds 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 Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and
receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds
’
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 Funds.
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.
For OTC options purchased, each
Fund 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
Funds should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Funds do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally
obligate the Funds, and not the counterparty, to perform. The Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk with respect to options written to the extent each
Fund
deposits
collateral with its counterparty to a written option.
With exchange-traded options purchased, exchange-traded futures and centrally cleared swaps, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Funds 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 Fund 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 futures and centrally
cleared swaps 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 Funds.
Geographic/Asset Class Risk:
A diversified portfolio, where this is appropriate and consistent with a fund’s objectives, minimizes the risk that a price change of a particular
investment will have a material impact on the NAV of a fund. The investment concentrations within each
Fund’s portfolio are disclosed in its Schedule of Investments.
Certain
Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in high yield securities. High yield securities that are rated below investment-grade (commonly referred to as “junk
bonds”) or are unrated may be deemed speculative, involve greater levels of risk than higher-rated securities of similar maturity and are more likely to default. High yield
securities may be issued by less creditworthy issuers, and issuers of high yield securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations. High yield
securities are subject to extreme price fluctuations, may be less liquid than higher rated fixed-income securities, even under normal economic conditions, and frequently have
redemption features.
The Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in fixed-income securities and/or use derivatives tied to the fixed-income markets. Changes in market interest rates or
economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of such investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease
as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. The Funds may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates during a period of historically low interest rates. The
Federal Reserve has raised the federal funds rate as part of its efforts to address inflation. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in
heightened market volatility, and could negatively impact the Funds
’
performance.

The
Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in securities of issuers located in the United States.
A decrease in imports or exports, changes in trade regulations,
inflation and/or an economic recession in the United States may have a material adverse effect on the U.S. economy and the securities listed on U.S. exchanges. Proposed
and adopted policy and legislative changes in the United States may also have a significant effect on U.S. markets generally, as well as on the value of certain securities.
Governmental agencies project that the United States will continue to maintain elevated public debt levels for the foreseeable future which may constrain future economic
growth. Circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal on U.S. government debt, such as reaching the legislative “debt ceiling.” Such
non-payment would result in substantial negative consequences for the U.S. economy and the global financial system. If U.S. relations with certain countries deteriorate, it
could adversely affect issuers that rely on the United States for trade. The United States has also experienced increased internal unrest and discord. If these trends were to
continue, they may have an adverse impact on the U.S. economy and the issuers in which the Funds invest.
Certain
Funds
invest
a significant portion of their
assets in securities backed by commercial or residential mortgage loans or in issuers that hold mortgage and other asset-backed
securities. When a fund concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes a greater risk of prepayment or payment extension by securities issuers. Changes in
economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults on assets underlying these securities, can affect the value, income and/or liquidity of such positions. Investment
percentages in these securities are presented in the Schedules of Investments.
LIBOR Transition Risk
: The Funds may be exposed to financial instruments that recently transitioned from, or continue to be tied to, the London Interbank Offered Rate
(“LIBOR”) to determine payment obligations, financing terms, hedging strategies or investment value. The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates
LIBOR, has ceased publishing all LIBOR settings, but some USD LIBOR settings will continue to be published under a synthetic methodology until September 30, 2024 for
certain legacy contracts. SOFR has been used increasingly on a voluntary basis in new instruments and transactions. Under U.S. regulations that implement a statutory
fallback mechanism to replace LIBOR, benchmark rates based on SOFR have replaced LIBOR in certain financial contracts. The ultimate effect of the LIBOR transition
process on the Funds is uncertain.

CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS
DSU is authorized to issue 400 million shares, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. FRA and BKT are authorized to issue 200 million shares, all of which
were initially classified as Common Shares. BLW and BIT is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. The par
value for DSU’s, FRA’s, BKT
’
s, BLW’s and BIT
’
s shares is $0.10, $0.10, $0.010, $0.001 and $0.001, respectively. The Board for DSU, FRA, BLW and BIT are each authorized,
however, to reclassify any unissued Common Shares to Preferred Shares without the approval of Common Shareholders.
Common Shares
For the periods shown, shares issued and outstanding increased by the following amounts as a result of dividend reinvestment:

| Six Months Ended | Year Ended
Fund Name | 06/30/24 | 12/31/23
DSU | 50,893 | —
BKT | — | 3,394
BLW | 23,810 | —
BIT | 100,398 | 31,420

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, shares issued and outstanding remained constant for FRA and BKT. For the year ended December 31, 2023, shares issued and
outstanding remained constant for DSU, FRA and BLW.
The Funds participate in an open market share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”). From December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2024, each Fund may
repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding common shares under the Repurchase Program, based on common shares outstanding as of the close of business on November 30,
2023, subject to certain conditions. The Repurchase Program has an accretive effect as shares are purchased at a discount to the Fund’s NAV. There is no assurance that the
Funds will purchase shares in any particular amounts.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023, the Funds did not repurchase any shares.
DSU, BKT, BLW and BIT have each filed a prospectus with the SEC allowing them to issue an additional 16,000,000, 8,333,333, 10,000,000 and 15,000,000 Common Shares,
respectively, through an equity Shelf Offering. Under the Shelf Offering, DSU, BKT, BLW and BIT, 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 each Fund’s NAV per Common Share (calculated within 48 hours of pricing). As of
period end, 15,476,875, 8,333,333, 10,000,000 and 14,245,619 Common Shares, respectively, remain available for issuance under the Shelf Offering. During the period

BlackRock Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements
The Boards of Directors/Trustees, as applicable (collectively, the “Board,” the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of BlackRock Debt Strategies Fund, Inc.
(“DSU”), BlackRock Floating Rate Income Strategies Fund, Inc. (“FRA”), BlackRock Income Trust, Inc. (“BKT”), BlackRock Limited Duration Income Trust (“BLW”), and
BlackRock Multi-Sector Income Trust (“BIT”) (collectively, the “Funds” and each, a “Fund”) met on May 3, 2024 (the “May Meeting”) and June 6-7, 2024 (the “June Meeting”)
to consider the approval to continue the investment advisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) between each Fund and BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), each
Fund’s investment advisor. The Board also considered the approval to continue the sub-advisory agreements (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) between (1) the Manager,
BlackRock International Limited (“BIL”) and each Fund and (2) the Manager, BlackRock (Singapore) Limited (“BRS” and together with BIL, the “Sub-Advisors”) and each of
BLW and BIT. The Manager and the Sub-Advisors are referred to herein as “BlackRock.” The Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to herein
as the “Agreements.”
The Approval Process
Consistent with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board considers the approval of the continuation of the Agreements for each
Fund on an annual basis. The Board members who are not “interested persons” of each Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act, are considered independent Board members (the
“Independent Board Members”). The Board’s consideration entailed a year-long deliberative process during which the Board and its committees assessed BlackRock’s various
services to each Fund, including through the review of written materials and oral presentations, and the review of additional information provided in response to requests from
the Independent Board Members. The Board had four quarterly meetings per year, each of which extended over a two-day period, as well as additional ad hoc meetings and
executive sessions throughout the year, as needed. The committees of the Board similarly met throughout the year. The Board also had an additional one-day meeting to
consider specific information regarding the renewal of the Agreements. In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature,
extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund by BlackRock, BlackRock’s personnel and affiliates, including (as applicable): investment management services;
accounting oversight; administrative and shareholder services; oversight of each Fund’s service providers; risk management and oversight; and legal, regulatory and
compliance services. Throughout the year, including during the contract renewal process, the Independent Board Members were advised by independent legal counsel, and
met with independent legal counsel in various executive sessions outside of the presence of BlackRock’s management.
During the year, the Board, acting directly and through its committees, considered information that was relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements,
including the services and support provided by BlackRock to each Fund and its shareholders. BlackRock also furnished additional information to the Board in response to
specific questions from the Board. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance for one-year, three-year, five-year, and/or since inception
periods, as applicable, against peer funds, relevant benchmarks, and other performance metrics, as applicable, as well as BlackRock senior management’s and portfolio
managers’ investment performance analyses, and the reasons for any outperformance or underperformance relative to its peers, benchmarks, and other performance metrics,
as applicable; (b) leverage management, as applicable; (c) fees, including advisory, administration, if applicable, and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by each
Fund for services; (d) Fund operating expenses and how BlackRock allocates expenses to each Fund; (e) the resources devoted to risk oversight of, and compliance reports
relating to, implementation of each Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions, and meeting regulatory requirements; (f) BlackRock’s and each Fund’s adherence to
applicable compliance policies and procedures; (g) the nature, character and scope of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates and the
estimated cost of such services, as available; (h) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls and risk and compliance oversight mechanisms; (i) BlackRock’s
implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Board; (j) execution quality of portfolio transactions; (k) BlackRock’s implementation of each Fund’s valuation and
liquidity procedures; (l) an analysis of management fees paid to BlackRock for products with similar investment mandates across the open-end fund, closed-end fund,
sub-advised mutual fund, collective investment trust and institutional separate account product channels, as applicable, and the similarities and differences between these
products and the services provided as compared to each Fund; (m) BlackRock’s compensation methodology for its investment professionals and the incentives and
accountability it creates, along with investment professionals’ investments in the fund(s) they manage; (n) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business; and (o) each Fund’s
market discount/premium compared to peer funds.
Prior to and in preparation for the May Meeting, the Board received and reviewed materials specifically relating to the renewal of the Agreements. The Independent Board
Members continuously engaged in a process with their independent legal counsel and BlackRock to review the nature and scope of the information provided to the Board to
better assist its deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the May Meeting included, among other things: (a) information independently compiled and prepared
by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), based on either a Lipper classification or Morningstar category, regarding each Fund’s fees and expenses as compared
with a peer group of funds as determined by Broadridge (“Expense Peers”) and the investment performance of each Fund as compared with a peer group of funds
(“Performance Peers”); (b) information on the composition of the Expense Peers and Performance Peers and a description of Broadridge’s methodology; (c) information on the
estimated profits realized by BlackRock and its affiliates pursuant to the Agreements and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates; (d) a general analysis
provided by BlackRock concerning investment management fees received in connection with other types of investment products, such as institutional accounts, sub-advised
mutual funds, closed-end funds, and open-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as applicable; (e) a review of non-management fees; (f) the existence, impact and
sharing of potential economies of scale, if any, with each Fund; (g) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by each Fund to BlackRock; and (h) various additional information
requested by the Board as appropriate regarding BlackRock’s and each Fund’s operations.
At the May Meeting, the Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements and the Independent Board Members presented BlackRock with questions
and requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to these questions and requests with additional written information in advance of the June Meeting, and such
responses were reviewed by the Board Members.
At the June Meeting, the Board concluded its assessment of, among other things: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment
performance of each Fund as compared to its Performance Peers and to other metrics, as applicable; (c) the advisory fee and the estimated cost of the services and estimated
profits realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund; (d) each Fund’s fees and expenses compared to its Expense Peers; (e) the existence and
sharing of potential economies of scale; (f) any fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates as a result of BlackRock’s relationship with each Fund; and (g) other factors
deemed relevant by the Board Members.
The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as other payments made to BlackRock or its affiliates relating to securities lending
and cash management, and BlackRock’s services related to the valuation and pricing of Fund portfolio holdings. The Board noted the willingness of BlackRock’s personnel to
Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements
185

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements
(continued)
engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board evaluated the information available to it on a fund-by-fund basis. The following paragraphs provide more
information about some of the primary factors that were relevant to the Board’s decision. The Board Members did not identify any particular information, or any single factor as
determinative, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items and factors considered.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services
Provided by BlackRock
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services,
and the resulting performance of each Fund. Throughout the year, the Board compared Fund performance to the performance of a comparable group of closed-end funds,
relevant benchmarks, and performance metrics, as applicable. The Board met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment activities, including
the senior investment officers. The Board also reviewed the materials provided by each Fund’s portfolio management team discussing each Fund’s performance, investment
strategies and outlook.
The Board considered, among other factors, with respect to BlackRock: the experience of each Fund’s portfolio management team; research capabilities; investments by
portfolio managers in the funds they manage; portfolio trading capabilities; use of technology; commitment to compliance; credit analysis capabilities; risk analysis and
oversight capabilities; and the approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Board also considered
BlackRock’s overall risk management program, including the continued efforts of BlackRock and its affiliates to address cybersecurity risks and the role of BlackRock’s Risk &
Quantitative Analysis Group. The Board engaged in a review of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to each Fund’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s
ability to attract and retain high-quality talent and create performance incentives.
In addition to investment advisory services, the Board considered the nature and quality of the administrative and other non-investment advisory services provided to each
Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Fund with certain administrative, shareholder and other services (in addition to any such services provided to each Fund by
third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of each Fund. In particular, BlackRock and its affiliates provide each Fund with administrative
services including, among others: (i) responsibility for disclosure documents, registration statements in connection with DSU’s, BKT’s BLW’s and BIT’s equity shelf programs,
and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) preparing communications with analysts to support secondary market trading of each Fund; (iii) oversight of daily accounting and pricing;
(iv) responsibility for periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; (v) overseeing and coordinating the activities of third-party service providers including, among others,
each Fund’s custodian, fund accountant, transfer agent, and auditor; (vi) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (vii) providing legal
and compliance support; (viii) furnishing analytical and other support to assist the Board in its consideration of strategic issues such as the merger, consolidation or repurposing
of certain closed-end funds; and (ix) performing or managing administrative functions necessary for the operation of each Fund, such as tax reporting, expense management,
fulfilling regulatory filing requirements, and shareholder call center and other services. The Board reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration,
shareholder services, and legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and
regulations. The Board considered the operation of BlackRock’s business continuity plans.
The Board noted that the engagement of the Sub-Advisors with respect to each Fund, as applicable, facilitates the provision of investment advice and trading by investment
personnel out of non-U.S. jurisdictions. The Board considered that this arrangement provides additional flexibility to the portfolio management team, which may benefit each
Fund and its shareholders.
B. The Investment Performance of each Fund
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed and considered the performance history of each Fund throughout the year and at the May Meeting. In
preparation for the May Meeting, the Board was provided with reports independently prepared by Broadridge, which included an analysis of each Fund’s performance as of
December 31, 2023, as compared to its Performance Peers. The performance information is based on net asset value (“NAV”), and utilizes Lipper data. Lipper’s methodology
calculates a fund’s total return assuming distributions are reinvested on the ex-date at a fund’s ex-date NAV. Broadridge ranks funds in quartiles, ranging from first to fourth,
where first is the most desirable quartile position and fourth is the least desirable. In connection with its review, the Board received and reviewed information regarding the
investment performance of each Fund as compared to its Performance Peers and certain performance metrics (“Performance Metrics”). The Board and its Performance
Oversight Committee regularly review and meet with Fund management to discuss the performance of each Fund throughout the year.
In evaluating performance, the Board focused particular attention on funds with less favorable performance records. The Board also noted that while it found the data provided
by Broadridge generally useful, it recognized the limitations of such data, including in particular, that notable differences may exist between a fund and its Performance Peers
(for example, the investment objectives and strategies). Further, the Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot of a period as of a particular date and that
selecting a different performance period could produce significantly different results. The Board also acknowledged that long-term performance could be impacted by even one
period of significant outperformance or underperformance, and that a single investment theme could have the ability to disproportionately affect long-term performance.
The Board reviewed and considered DSU’s performance relative to DSU’s Performance Metrics. Based on an overall rating relative to the Performance Metrics, DSU generally
performed in line with expectations. The Board noted that BlackRock believes that the Performance Metrics are an appropriate performance comparison for DSU, and that
BlackRock has explained its rationale for this belief to the Board.
The Board reviewed and considered FRA’s performance relative to FRA’s Performance Metrics. Based on an overall rating relative to the Performance Metrics, FRA generally
performed in line with expectations. The Board noted that BlackRock believes that the Performance Metrics are an appropriate performance comparison for FRA, and that
BlackRock has explained its rationale for this belief to the Board.
The Board reviewed and considered BKT’s performance relative to BKT’s Performance Metrics. Based on an overall rating relative to the Performance Metrics, BKT generally
performed in line with expectations. The Board noted that BlackRock believes that the Performance Metrics are an appropriate performance comparison for BKT, and that
BlackRock has explained its rationale for this belief to the Board.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements
(continued)
The Board reviewed and considered BLW’s performance relative to BLW’s Performance Metrics. Based on an overall rating relative to the Performance Metrics, BLW generally
performed in line with expectations. The Board noted that BlackRock believes that the Performance Metrics are an appropriate performance comparison for BLW, and that
BlackRock has explained its rationale for this belief to the Board.
The Board reviewed and considered BIT’s performance relative to BIT’s Performance Metrics. Based on an overall rating relative to the Performance Metrics, BIT generally
performed in line with expectations. The Board noted that BlackRock believes that the Performance Metrics are an appropriate performance comparison for BIT, and that
BlackRock has explained its rationale for this belief to the Board.
C. Consideration of the Advisory/Management Fees and the Estimated Cost of the Services and Estimated Profits Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from
their Relationship with each Fund
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed each Fund’s contractual management fee rate compared with those of its Expense Peers. The contractual
management fee rate represents a combination of the advisory fee and any administrative fees, before taking into account any reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board also
compared each Fund’s total expense ratio, as well as its actual management fee rate as a percentage of managed assets, which is the total assets of each Fund (including any
assets attributable to money borrowed for investment purposes) minus the sum of each Fund’s accrued liabilities (other than money borrowed for investment purposes) to
those of its Expense Peers. The total expense ratio represents a fund’s total net operating expenses, excluding any investment related expenses. The total expense ratio gives
effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers, and the actual management fee rate gives effect to any management fee reimbursements or waivers. The Board
considered that the fee and expense information in the Broadridge report for each Fund reflected information for a specific period and that historical asset levels and expenses
may differ from current levels, particularly in a period of market volatility. The Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock and its affiliates to
other types of clients with similar investment mandates, as applicable, including institutional accounts and sub-advised mutual funds (including mutual funds sponsored by third
parties).
The Board received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability methodology and was also provided
with an estimated profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to each Fund. The Board reviewed
BlackRock’s estimated profitability with respect to each Fund and other funds the Board currently oversees for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to available
aggregate estimated profitability data provided for the prior two years. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s estimated profitability with respect to certain other U.S. fund complexes
managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the estimated profitability analysis,
noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including,
among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds managed, precision of expense allocations and business mix. The Board
thus recognized that calculating and comparing profitability at the individual fund level is difficult.
The Board noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s overall operating
margin, in general, compared to that of certain other publicly traded asset management firms. The Board considered the differences between BlackRock and these other firms,
including the contribution of technology at BlackRock, BlackRock’s expense management, and the relative product mix.
The Board considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations
under the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Board. The Board further considered factors including but not limited to
BlackRock’s commitment of time and resources, assumption of risk, and liability profile in servicing each Fund, including in contrast to what is required of BlackRock with
respect to other products with similar investment mandates across the open-end fund, closed-end fund, sub-advised mutual fund, collective investment trust, and institutional
separate account product channels, as applicable.
The Board noted that DSU’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the first quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked in first
quartile relative to the Expense Peers.
The Board noted that FRA’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the first quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked in the
first quartile relative to the Expense Peers.
The Board noted that BKT’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the third quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked in the
first quartile relative to the Expense Peers.
The Board noted that BLW’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the first quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked in the
first quartile relative to the Expense Peers.
The Board noted that BIT’s contractual management fee rate ranked in the second quartile, and that the actual management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked in
the second quartile relative to the Expense Peers.
D. Economies of Scale
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which any economies of scale might benefit each Fund in a variety of ways as the assets of
each Fund increase. The Board considered multiple factors, including the advisory fee rate and breakpoints, and fee waivers, as applicable. The Board considered each Fund’s
asset levels and whether the current fee was appropriate.
Based on the Board’s review and consideration of the issue, the Board concluded that most closed-end funds do not have fund level breakpoints because closed-end funds
generally do not experience substantial growth after the initial public offering. Closed-end funds are typically priced at scale at a fund’s inception. The Board noted that although
each of DSU, BKT, BLW and BIT may from time-to-time make additional share offerings pursuant to its equity shelf program, the growth of each of DSU’s, BKT’s, BLW’s and
BIT’s assets will occur primarily through the appreciation of its investment portfolio.

E. Other Factors Deemed Relevant by the Board Members
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also took into account other ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates may derive from BlackRock’s
respective relationships with each Fund, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios and its
risk management personnel, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates as service providers to
each Fund, including for administrative, securities lending and cash management services. With respect to securities lending, during the year the Board also considered
information provided by independent third-party consultants related to the performance of each BlackRock affiliate as securities lending agent. The Board also considered
BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Board also noted that, subject to applicable law, BlackRock
may use and benefit from third-party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain registered fund transactions to assist in managing all or a number of its other client
accounts.
In connection with its consideration of the Agreements, the Board also received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Board received
reports from BlackRock which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year.
The Board also considered the various notable initiatives and projects BlackRock performed in connection with its closed-end fund product line. These initiatives included
developing equity shelf programs; efforts to eliminate product overlap with fund mergers; ongoing services to manage leverage that has become increasingly complex; periodic
evaluation of share repurchases and other support initiatives for certain BlackRock funds; and efforts to reduce fund discounts, including continued communication efforts with
shareholders, fund analysts and financial advisers. With respect to the latter, the Independent Board Members noted BlackRock’s continued commitment to supporting the
secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds through a comprehensive secondary market communication program designed to raise investor and analyst
awareness and understanding of closed-end funds. BlackRock’s support services included, among other things: sponsoring and participating in conferences; communicating
with closed-end fund analysts covering the BlackRock funds throughout the year; providing marketing and product updates for the closed-end funds; and maintaining and
enhancing its closed-end fund website.
Conclusion
At the June Meeting, in a continuation of the discussions that occurred during the May Meeting, and as a culmination of the Board’s year-long deliberative process, the Board,
including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements between the Manager and each Fund for a one-year term
ending June 30, 2025, and the Sub-Advisory Agreements among (1) the Manager, BIL and each Fund and (2) the Manager, BRS and each of BLW and BIT for a one-year term
ending June 30, 2025. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, as well as other information, the Board, including the Independent Board
Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders. In arriving at its decision to
approve the Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board
Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the
deliberative process.

Although the Funds do not seek to implement a specific sustainability objective, strategy or process unless otherwise disclosed, Fund management will consider ESG factors
as part of the investment process for the Funds. Fund management views ESG integration as the practice of incorporating financially material ESG data or information into
investment processes with the objective of enhancing risk-adjusted returns. These ESG considerations will vary depending on the Funds
’
particular investment strategies and
may include consideration of third-party research as well as consideration of proprietary BlackRock research across the ESG risks and opportunities regarding an issuer. The
ESG characteristics utilized in the Funds
’
investment process are anticipated to evolve over time and one or more characteristics may not be relevant with respect to all issuers
that are eligible for investment. Certain of these considerations may affect the Funds
’
exposure to certain companies or industries. While Fund management views ESG
considerations as having the potential to contribute to the Funds
’
long-term performance, there is no guarantee that such results will be achieved.
Dividend Policy
Each Fund’s policy is to make monthly distributions to shareholders. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, each Fund employs a
managed distribution plan (the "Plan"), the goal of which is to provide shareholders with consistent and predictable cash flows by setting distribution rates based on expected
long-term returns of each Fund.
The distributions paid by each Fund for any particular month may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by each Fund during such month.
Furthermore, the final tax characterization of distributions is determined after the year-end of each Fund and is reported in each Fund’s annual report to shareholders.
Distributions can be characterized as ordinary income, capital gains and/or return of capital. Each Fund’s taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains
(“taxable income”) may not be sufficient to support the level of distributions paid. To the extent that distributions exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and
profits, the excess may be treated as a non-taxable return of capital.
A return of capital is a return of a portion of an investor’s original investment. A return of capital is not expected to be 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 for U.S. federal income tax purposes when the final determination of the source and
character of the distributions is made.
Such distributions, under certain circumstances, may exceed a Fund’s total return performance. When total distributions exceed total return performance for the period, the
difference reduces the Fund’s total assets and net asset value (“NAV”) per share and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the Fund’s expense ratio and reducing the
amount of assets the Fund has available for long term investment.

Shelf Offering Program
From time-to-time, DSU, BKT, BLW and BIT may seek to raise additional equity capital through a Shelf Offering. In a Shelf Offering, DSU, BKT, BLW and BIT 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 DSU
’
s, BKT
’
s BLW
’
s and BIT
’
s
NAV per Common Share (calculated within 48 hours of pricing). While any such Shelf Offering may allow DSU, BKT, BLW and BIT 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.
DSU, BKT, BLW and BIT filed final prospectuses with the SEC in connection with their Shelf Offerings on January 3, 2023, June 23, 2022, May 17, 2022 and May 3, 2022,
respectively. This report and the prospectuses of DSU, BKT, BLW and BIT are not offers to sell DSU, BKT, BLW and BIT Common Shares or solicitations of an offer to buy DSU,
BKT, BLW and BIT Common Shares in any jurisdiction where such offers or sales are not permitted. The prospectuses of DSU, BKT, BLW and BIT contain important
information about DSU, BKT, BLW and BIT, including their investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Investors are urged to read the prospectuses of DSU, BKT,
BLW and BIT carefully and in their entirety before investing. Copies of the final prospectuses for DSU, BKT, BLW and BIT can be obtained from BlackRock at
