STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Combined Fund will be managed in accordance with the same investment objective and investment policies, and subject to the same risks, as the Acquiring Fund.&nbsp;Risk is inherent in all investing.
The value of your investment in the Acquiring Fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly from day to day and over time.&nbsp;The Acquiring Fund is not meant to provide a vehicle for those who
wish to exploit short-term swings in the stock market and is intended for long-term investors. An investment in Common Shares of the Acquiring Fund should not be considered a complete investment program. Each shareholder should take into account the
Acquiring Fund&#146;s investment objective as well as the shareholder&#146;s other investments when considering an investment in the Acquiring Fund.&nbsp;You may lose part or all of your investment in the Acquiring Fund or your investment may not
perform as well as other similar investments.&nbsp;The risks that predominately affect Common Shares of the Acquiring Fund include the following: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Non-Diversified Status</U>.&nbsp;The Acquiring Fund is a non-diversified fund. As defined in the 1940 Act, a non-diversified fund may have a significant part of its investments in a smaller number of
issuers than can a diversified fund. Having a larger percentage of assets in a smaller number of issuers makes a non-diversified fund, like the Acquiring Fund, more susceptible to the risk that one single event or occurrence can have a significant
adverse impact upon the Acquiring Fund. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Investment and Market Discount Risk</U>.&nbsp;An investment in the Acquiring
Fund&#146;s Common Shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire amount that you invest. As with any stock, the price of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s Common Shares will fluctuate with market conditions and other
factors. Common Shares are designed for long-term investors and the Acquiring Fund should not be treated as a trading vehicle. Shares of closed-end management investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their NAV. This risk is separate
and distinct from the risk that the Acquiring Fund&#146;s NAV could decrease as a result of its investment activities.&nbsp;At any point in time an investment in the Acquiring Fund&#146;s Common Shares may be worth less than the original amount
invested, even after taking into account distributions paid by the Acquiring Fund. This risk may be greater for investors who sell their Common Shares in a relatively short period of time after completion of the Reorganization. </FONT></P>

municipal tender option bonds (&#147;TOBs Residuals&#148;).&nbsp;The municipal market is one in which dealer firms make markets in bonds on a principal basis using their proprietary capital, and
during the recent market turmoil these firms&#146; capital was severely constrained.&nbsp;As a result, some firms were unwilling to commit their capital to purchase and to serve as a dealer for municipal bonds.&nbsp;Certain municipal bonds may not
be registered with the SEC or any state securities commission and will not be listed on any national securities exchange.&nbsp;The amount of public information available about the municipal bonds to which the Acquiring Fund is economically exposed
is generally less than that for corporate equities or bonds, and the investment performance of the Acquiring Fund may therefore be more dependent on the analytical abilities of the Investment Advisor than would be a stock fund or taxable bond
fund.&nbsp;The secondary market for municipal bonds, particularly the below investment grade bonds to which the Acquiring Fund may be economically exposed, also tends to be less well-developed or liquid than many other securities markets, which may
adversely affect the ability to sell such bonds at attractive prices or at prices approximating those at which the Acquiring Fund currently values them. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

issuers to make timely payments of interest and principal may be diminished during general economic downturns and as governmental cost burdens are reallocated among federal, state and local governments.&nbsp;The taxing power of any governmental
entity may be limited by provisions of state constitutions or laws and an entity&#146;s credit will depend on many factors, including the entity&#146;s tax base, the extent to which the entity relies on federal or state aid, and other factors which
are beyond the entity&#146;s control.&nbsp;In addition, laws enacted in the future by Congress or state legislatures or referenda could extend the time for payment of principal and/or interest, or impose other constraints on enforcement of such
obligations or on the ability of municipalities to levy taxes.&nbsp;Issuers of municipal bonds might seek protection under the bankruptcy laws.&nbsp;In the event of bankruptcy of such an issuer, holders of municipal bonds could experience delays in
collecting principal and interest and such holders may not, in all circumstances, be able to collect all principal and interest to which they are entitled.&nbsp;To enforce its rights in the event of a default in the payment of interest or repayment
of principal, or both, the Acquiring Fund may take possession of and manage the assets securing the issuer&#146;s obligations on such securities, which may increase the Acquiring Fund&#146;s operating expenses.&nbsp;Any income derived from the
Acquiring Fund&#146;s ownership or operation of such assets may not be tax-exempt. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Risk Factors and Special Considerations

economy experienced a faster decline than the U.S. economy, hampered by continued job losses, mostly in the manufacturing sector. Michigan&#146;s economy relies heavily on the performance of the manufacturing sector in general, and the auto industry
specifically. Employment in Michigan peaked in June 2000 and dropped steadily until 2003. Throughout most of the 2000s, employment in Michigan fluctuated with monthly job gains offset by monthly job losses. However, in 2009, Michigan&#146;s
unemployment rate rose to 13.5 percent- the State&#146;s highest rate since 1983. In each year between 2010 and 2014, inclusive, the State&#146;s unemployment rate decreased. Over the past four years, Michigan&#146;s unemployment rate dropped a
combined 4.7 percentage points with the largest share of decline occurring in 2011 (-2.3 points). Michigan&#146;s 2013 unemployment rate was 8.8%, the State&#146;s lowest annual unemployment rate since 2008. Although unemployment in Michigan
continues to fall, it still remains above the national rate. </FONT></P>

economic activity and rise in unemployment. On July&nbsp;18, 2013, the City of Detroit filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 9 of Title 11 of the United States Code. On December&nbsp;10, 2014, less than seventeen months later, the City of
Detroit emerged from the nation&#146;s largest municipal bankruptcy. The bankruptcy process included a &#147;Grand Bargain&#148; whereby philanthropic and business communities joined with the State to contribute funds to the City of Detroit to
reduce the impact on pensions and extend vital services. $194.8 million was withdrawn to fund the State&#146;s contribution to the Detroit bankruptcy &#147;Grand Bargain.&#148; The impact of the bankruptcy filing on the State and other local units

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of June 1, 2015 Moody&#146;s and S&amp;P have assigned Michigan&#146;s long term general obligation bonds ratings of &#147;Aa2&#148; and &#147;AA-&#148; respectively. These ratings reflect the
State&#146;s credit quality only, and do not indicate the creditworthiness of other tax-exempt securities in which the Fund may invest. Additionally, it should be noted that the creditworthiness of obligations issued by local Michigan issuers may be
unrelated to the creditworthiness of obligations issued by the State, and that there is no obligation on the part of the State to make payment on such local obligations in the event of default. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Michigan&#146;s economic problems heighten the risk of investing in bonds issued by the State and its political subdivisions, agencies,
instrumentalities and authorities, including the risk of potential issuer default. There is a heightened risk that there could be an interruption in payments to bondholders in some cases. This possibility, along with the risk of a further downgrade
in the credit rating of the State&#146;s general obligation debt, could result in a reduction in the market value of the bonds held by the Fund, which could adversely affect the Fund&#146;s net asset values or the distributions paid by the Fund. No
assurance can be given that such rating will not be lowered in the future. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Fixed Income Securities Risks</U>.&nbsp;Fixed
income securities in which the Acquiring Fund may invest are generally subject to the following risks: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Interest Rate
Risk</I>.&nbsp;The market value of bonds and other fixed-income securities changes in response to interest rate changes and other factors. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will increase as
interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. The Acquiring Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of historically low interest rates. The magnitude of these fluctuations in the market
price of bonds and other fixed-income securities is generally greater for those securities with longer maturities. Fluctuations in the market price of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s investments will not affect interest income derived from instruments
already owned by the Acquiring Fund, but will be reflected in the Acquiring Fund&#146;s NAV. The Acquiring Fund may lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply in a manner not anticipated by the Acquiring Fund&#146;s
management. To the extent the Acquiring Fund invests in debt securities that may be prepaid at the option of the obligor (such as mortgage-related securities), the sensitivity of such securities to changes in interest rates may increase (to the
detriment of the Acquiring Fund) when interest rates rise. Moreover, because rates on certain floating rate debt securities typically 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 the Acquiring Fund to the extent that it invests in floating rate debt securities. These basic principles of bond prices also apply to U.S. government securities. A security backed by the
&#147;full faith and credit&#148; of the U.S. government is guaranteed only as to its stated interest rate and face value at maturity, not its current market price. Just like other fixed-income securities, government-guaranteed securities will
fluctuate in value when interest rates change. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Acquiring Fund&#146;s use of leverage, as described below, will tend to increase the
Acquiring Fund&#146;s interest rate risk.&nbsp;The Acquiring Fund may utilize certain strategies, including taking positions in futures or interest rate swaps, for the purpose of reducing the interest rate sensitivity of fixed income securities held
by the Acquiring Fund and decreasing the Acquiring Fund&#146;s exposure to interest rate risk. The Acquiring Fund is not required to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk and may choose not to do so. In addition, there is no assurance that any
attempts by the Acquiring Fund to reduce interest rate risk will be successful or that any hedges that the Acquiring Fund may establish will perfectly correlate with movements in interest rates. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Issuer Risk</I>.&nbsp;The value of fixed income securities may decline for a number of reasons which directly relate to the issuer,
such as management performance, financial leverage, reduced demand for the issuer&#146;s goods and services, historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of the assets of the issuer. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Credit Risk</I>.&nbsp;Credit risk is the risk that one or more fixed income securities in the Acquiring Fund&#146;s portfolio will
decline in price or fail to pay interest or principal when due because the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial status. Credit risk is increased when a portfolio security is downgraded or the perceived creditworthiness of
the issuer deteriorates.&nbsp;In addition, to the extent the Acquiring Fund uses credit derivatives, such use will expose it to additional risk in the event that the bonds underlying the derivatives default.&nbsp;The degree of credit risk depends on
the issuer&#146;s financial condition and on the terms of the securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Prepayment Risk</I>. During periods of declining
interest rates, borrowers may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled. For fixed rate securities, such payments often occur during periods of declining interest rates, forcing the Acquiring Fund to reinvest in lower yielding
securities, resulting in a possible decline in the Acquiring Fund&#146;s income and distributions to shareholders. This is known as prepayment or &#147;call&#148; risk. For premium bonds (bonds acquired at prices that exceed their par or principal
value) purchased by the Acquiring Fund, prepayment risk may be enhanced. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Reinvestment Risk</I>.&nbsp;Reinvestment risk is
the risk that income from the Acquiring Fund&#146;s portfolio will decline if the Acquiring Fund invests the proceeds from matured, traded or called fixed income securities at market interest rates that are below the Acquiring Fund portfolio&#146;s
current earnings rate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Duration and Maturity Risk</I>.&nbsp;The Investment Advisor may seek to adjust the portfolio&#146;s
duration or maturity based on their assessment of current and projected market conditions and all factors that the Investment Advisor deems relevant.&nbsp;Any decisions as to the targeted duration or maturity of any particular category of
investments or of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s portfolio generally will be made based on all pertinent market factors at any given time.&nbsp;The Acquiring Fund may incur costs in seeking to adjust the portfolio average duration or maturity.&nbsp;There
can be no assurance that the Investment Advisor&#146;s assessment of current and projected market conditions will be correct or that any strategy to adjust the portfolio&#146;s duration or maturity will be successful at any given
time.&nbsp;Generally speaking, the longer the duration of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s portfolio, the more exposure the Acquiring Fund will have to the interest rate risks described above. </FONT></P>

relative lack of information about certain issuers of municipal securities, and the possibility of future legislative changes which could affect the market for and value of municipal securities. These risks include: </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>General Obligation Bonds Risks</I>.&nbsp;The full faith, credit and taxing power of the municipality that issues a general obligation
bond secures payment of interest and repayment of principal. Timely payments depend on the issuer&#146;s credit quality, ability to raise tax revenues and ability to maintain an adequate tax base. </FONT></P>

interest costs.&nbsp;Payments of interest and principal on revenue bonds are made only from the revenues generated by a particular facility, class of facilities or the proceeds of a special tax
or other revenue source. These payments depend on the money earned by the particular facility or class of facilities, or the amount of revenues derived from another source.&nbsp;Such bonds are generally nonrecourse against the property owner, may be
junior to the rights of others with an interest in the properties, may pay interest that changes based in part on the financial performance of the property, may be prepayable without penalty and may be used to finance the construction of housing
developments which, until completed and rented, do not generate income to pay interest.&nbsp;Increases in interest rates payable on senior obligations may make it more difficult for issuers to meet payment obligations on subordinated bonds.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Private Activity Bonds Risks</I>.&nbsp;Municipalities and other public authorities issue private activity bonds to finance
development of industrial facilities for use by a private enterprise. The private enterprise pays the principal and interest on the bond, and the issuer does not pledge its full faith, credit and taxing power for repayment. If the private enterprise
defaults on its payments, the Acquiring Fund may not receive any income or get its money back from the investment. These bonds may subject certain investors in the Acquiring Fund to the federal alternative minimum tax. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Moral Obligation Bonds Risks</I>.&nbsp;Moral obligation bonds are generally issued by special purpose public authorities of a state or
municipality. If the issuer is unable to meet its obligations, repayment of these bonds becomes a moral commitment, but not a legal obligation, of the state or municipality. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Municipal Notes Risks</I>.&nbsp;Municipal notes are shorter term municipal debt obligations. They may provide interim financing in anticipation of, and are secured by, tax collection, bond sales or
revenue receipts. If there is a shortfall in the anticipated proceeds, the notes may not be fully repaid and the Acquiring Fund may lose money. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Municipal Lease Obligations Risks</I>.&nbsp;In a municipal lease obligation, the issuer agrees to make payments when due on the lease obligation. The issuer will generally appropriate municipal funds
for that purpose, but is not obligated to do so. Although the issuer does not pledge its unlimited taxing power for payment of the lease obligation, the lease obligation is secured by the leased property. However, if the issuer does not fulfill its
payment obligation it may be difficult to sell the property and the proceeds of a sale may not cover the Acquiring Fund&#146;s loss. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Municipal leases and certificates of participation involve special risks not normally associated with general obligations or revenue bonds.&nbsp;Leases and installment purchase or conditional sale
contracts (which normally provide for title to the leased asset to pass eventually to the governmental issuer) have evolved as a means for governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment without meeting the constitutional and statutory
requirements for the issuance of debt.&nbsp;The debt issuance limitations are deemed to be inapplicable because of the inclusion in many leases or contracts of &#147;nonappropriation&#148; clauses that relieve the governmental issuer of any
obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for such purpose by the appropriate legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis.&nbsp;In addition, such leases or contracts may be subject to the
temporary abatement of payments in the event that the governmental issuer is prevented from maintaining occupancy of the lease premises or utilizing the leased equipment.&nbsp;Although the obligations may be secured by the leased equipment or
facilities, the disposition of the property in the event of nonappropriation or foreclosure might prove difficult, time consuming and costly, and may result in a delay in recovering or the failure to fully recover ownership of the assets.

Risk</I>.&nbsp;In making investments, the Acquiring Fund and the Investment Advisor will rely on the opinion of issuers&#146; bond counsel and, in the case of derivative securities, sponsors&#146; counsel, on the tax-exempt status of interest on
municipal obligations and payments under tax-exempt derivative securities. Neither the Acquiring Fund nor&nbsp;the Investment Advisor will independently review the bases for those tax opinions. If any of those tax opinions are ultimately determined
to be incorrect or if events occur after the security is acquired that impact the security&#146;s tax-exempt&nbsp;status, the Acquiring Fund and its shareholders could be subject to substantial tax liabilities. An assertion by the Internal Revenue
Service (&#147;IRS&#148;) that a portfolio security is not exempt from U.S. federal income tax (contrary to indications from the issuer) could affect the Acquiring Fund&#146;s and shareholder&#146;s income tax liability for the current or past years
and could create liability for information reporting penalties. In addition, an IRS assertion of taxability may impair the liquidity and the fair market value of the securities. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Taxability Risk</U>.&nbsp;The Acquiring Fund intends to minimize the payment of taxable income to shareholders by investing in
tax-exempt or municipal securities in reliance at the time of purchase on an opinion of bond counsel to the issuer that the interest paid on those securities will be excludable from gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such securities,
however, may be determined to pay, or have paid, taxable income subsequent to the Acquiring Fund&#146;s acquisition of the securities. In that event, the IRS may demand that the Acquiring Fund pay U.S. federal income taxes on the affected interest
income, and, if the Acquiring Fund agrees to do so, the Acquiring Fund&#146;s yield could be adversely affected. In addition, the treatment of dividends previously paid or to be paid by the Acquiring Fund as &#147;exempt interest dividends&#148;

future direction of interest rates are very difficult to predict accurately. If the Acquiring Fund were to reduce leverage based on a prediction about future changes to interest rates, and that prediction turned out to be incorrect, the reduction in
leverage would likely operate to reduce the income and/or total returns to holders of Common Shares relative to the circumstance where the Acquiring Fund had not reduced leverage. The Acquiring Fund may decide that this risk outweighs the likelihood

the liquidity provider for the Acquiring Fund VRDP Shares or the governing instrument for the Acquiring Fund VRDP Shares. These guidelines may impose asset coverage or portfolio composition requirements that are more stringent than those imposed by

through the use of TOB Residuals, which are derivative interests in municipal bonds. The TOB Residuals in which the Acquiring Fund will invest pay interest or income that, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer, is exempt from regular Federal
income tax. BlackRock will not conduct its own analysis of the tax status of the interest or income paid by TOB Residuals held by the Acquiring Fund, but will rely on the opinion of counsel to the issuer. There is no assurance that the Acquiring
Fund&#146;s strategy of using TOB Residuals to leverage its assets will be successful. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">TOB Residuals represent beneficial
interests in a special purpose trust formed for the purpose of holding municipal bonds contributed by one or more funds (a &#147;TOB Trust&#148;). A TOB Trust typically issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests
(&#147;TOB Floaters&#148;), which are sold to third party investors, and TOB Residuals, which are generally issued to the fund(s) that transferred municipal bonds to the TOB Trust. TOB Floaters may have first priority on the cash flow from the
municipal bonds held by the TOB Trust and are enhanced with a liquidity support arrangement provided by a third-party bank or other financial institution (the &#147;TOBs Liquidity Provider&#148;) which allows holders to tender their position at par
(plus accrued interest). The Acquiring Fund, as a holder of TOB Residuals, is paid the residual cash flow from the TOB Trust. As result, distributions on TOB Residuals will bear an inverse relationship to short-term municipal bond interest rates.
Distributions on the TOB Residuals paid to the Acquiring Fund will be reduced or, in the extreme, eliminated as short-term municipal interest rates rise and will increase when short-term municipal interest rates fall. The amount of such reduction or
increase is a function, in part, of the amount of TOB Floaters sold by the TOB Trust relative to the amount of the TOB Residuals that it sells. The greater the amount of TOB Floaters sold relative to the TOB Residuals, the more volatile the
distributions on the TOB Residuals will be. Short-term interest rates are at historic lows and may be more likely to rise in the current market environment. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Any economic leverage achieved through the Acquiring Fund&#146;s investment in TOB Residuals will increase the possibility that Common Share long-term returns will be diminished if the cost of the TOB
Floaters issued by a TOB Trust exceeds the return on the securities in the TOB Trust. If the income and gains earned on municipal securities owned by a TOB Trust that issues TOB Residuals to the Acquiring Fund are greater than the payments due on
the TOB Floaters issued by the TOB Trust, the Acquiring Fund&#146;s returns will be greater than if it had not invested in the TOB Residuals. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Although the Acquiring Fund generally would unwind a TOB transaction rather than try to sell a TOB Residual, if it did try to sell a TOB Residual, its ability to do so would depend on the liquidity of the
TOB Residual. TOB Residuals have varying degrees of liquidity based, among other things, upon the liquidity of the underlying securities deposited in the TOB Trust. The market price of TOB Residuals is more volatile than the underlying municipal
bonds due to leverage. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The leverage attributable to the Acquiring Fund&#146;s use of TOB Residuals may be &#147;called
away&#148; on relatively short notice and therefore may be less permanent than more traditional forms of leverage. The TOB Trust may be collapsed without the consent of the Acquiring Fund upon the occurrence of tender option termination events
(&#147;TOTEs&#148;) and mandatory termination events (&#147;MTEs&#148;), as defined in the TOB Trust agreements. In the case of an MTE, after the payment of fees, the holders of the TOB Floaters would be paid senior to the TOB Residual holders
(i.e., the Acquiring Fund). In contrast, in the case of a TOTE, after payment of fees, the holders of TOB Floaters and the TOB Residual holders would be paid pro rata in proportion to the respective face values of their certificates. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Acquiring Fund may invest in a TOB Trust on either a non-recourse or recourse basis. If the Acquiring Fund invests in a TOB Trust on
a recourse basis, it will typically enter into a reimbursement agreement with the TOBs Liquidity Provider pursuant to which the Acquiring Fund is required to reimburse the TOBs Liquidity Provider the balance, if any, of the amount owed under the
liquidity facility over the liquidation proceeds (the &#147;Liquidation Shortfall&#148;). As a result, if the Acquiring Fund invests in a recourse TOB Trust, the Acquiring Fund will bear the risk of loss with respect to any Liquidation Shortfall.

However, insurance does not protect the Acquiring Fund or its shareholders against losses caused by declines in a municipal security&#146;s value. Also, the Acquiring Fund cannot be certain that
any insurance company will make the payments it guarantees. Certain significant providers of insurance for municipal securities have recently incurred significant losses as a result of exposure to sub-prime mortgages and other lower credit quality
investments that have experienced recent defaults or otherwise suffered extreme credit deterioration. As a result, such losses have reduced the insurers&#146; capital and called into question their continued ability to perform their obligations
under such insurance if they are called upon to do so in the future. While an insured municipal security will typically be deemed to have the rating of its insurer, if the insurer of a municipal security suffers a downgrade in its credit rating or
the market discounts the value of the insurance provided by the insurer, the rating of the underlying municipal security will be more relevant and the value of the municipal security would more closely, if not entirely, reflect such rating. The
Acquiring Fund may lose money on its investment if the insurance company does not make payments it guarantees. If a municipal security&#146;s insurer fails to fulfill its obligations or loses its credit rating, the value of the security could drop.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Yield and Ratings Risk</U>.&nbsp;The yields on certain obligations are dependent on a variety of factors, including
general market conditions, conditions in the particular market for the obligation, the financial condition of the issuer, the size of the offering, the maturity of the obligation and the ratings of the issue. The ratings of&nbsp;Moody&#146;s,
S&amp;P and Fitch, which are described in Appendix C to the Statement of Additional Information, represent their respective opinions as to the quality of the obligations which they undertake to rate.&nbsp;Ratings are relative and subjective and,
although ratings may be useful in evaluating the safety of interest and principal payments, they do not evaluate the market value risk of such obligations.&nbsp;Although these ratings may be an initial criterion for selection of portfolio
investments, the Investment Advisor also will independently evaluate these securities and the ability of the issuers of such securities to pay interest and principal.&nbsp;To the extent that the Acquiring Fund invests in securities that have not
been rated by a rating agency, the Acquiring Fund&#146;s ability to achieve its investment objective will be more dependent on the Investment Advisor&#146;s credit analysis than would be the case when the Acquiring Fund invests in rated securities.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Unrated Securities Risk</U>. Because the Acquiring Fund may purchase securities that are not rated by any rating
organization, the Investment Advisor may, after assessing their credit quality, internally assign ratings to certain of those securities in categories similar to those of rating organizations.&nbsp;Some unrated securities may not have an active
trading market or may be difficult to value, which means the Acquiring Fund might have difficulty selling them promptly at an acceptable price. To the extent that the Acquiring Fund invests in unrated securities, the Acquiring Fund&#146;s ability to
achieve its investment objective will be more dependent on the Investment Advisor&#146;s credit analysis than would be the case when the Acquiring Fund invests in rated securities. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Zero Coupon Securities Risk</U>.&nbsp;Zero coupon securities are securities that are sold at a discount to par value and do not pay
interest during the life of the security. The discount approximates the total amount of interest the security will accrue and compound over the period until maturity at a rate of interest reflecting the market rate of the security at the time of
issuance. Upon maturity, the holder of a zero coupon security is entitled to receive the par value of the security. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">While
interest payments are not made on zero coupon securities, holders of such securities are deemed to have received income (&#147;phantom income&#148;) annually, notwithstanding that cash may not be received currently. The effect of owning instruments
that do not make current interest payments is that a fixed yield is earned not only on the original investment but also, in effect, on all discount accretion during the life of the obligations. This implicit reinvestment of earnings at a fixed rate
eliminates the risk of being unable to invest distributions at a rate as high as the implicit yield on the zero coupon bond, but at the same time eliminates the holder&#146;s ability to reinvest at higher rates in the future. For this reason, some
of these securities may be subject to substantially greater price fluctuations during periods of changing market interest rates than are comparable securities that pay interest currently. Longer term zero coupon bonds are more exposed to interest
rate risk than shorter term zero coupon bonds. These investments benefit the issuer by mitigating its need for cash to meet debt service, but also require a higher rate of return to attract investors who are willing to defer receipt of cash.

securities typically will involve greater risk than an investment in a fixed rate security. Distributions on inverse floaters, residual interest tender option bonds and similar instruments will typically bear an inverse relationship to short term
interest rates and typically will be reduced or, potentially, eliminated as interest rates rise. Inverse floaters, residual interest tender option bonds and similar instruments will underperform the market for fixed rate securities in a rising
interest rate environment. Inverse floaters may be considered to be leveraged to the extent that their interest rates vary by a magnitude that exceeds the magnitude of the change in a reference rate of interest (typically a short term interest
rate). The leverage inherent in inverse floaters is associated with greater volatility in their market values. Investments in inverse floaters, residual interest tender option bonds and similar instruments that have fixed income securities
underlying them will expose the Acquiring Fund to the risks associated with those fixed income securities and the values of those investments may be especially sensitive to changes in prepayment rates on the underlying fixed income securities.

securities are purchased or sold by the Acquiring Fund with payment and delivery taking place in the future to secure an advantageous yield or price. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may expose the Acquiring Fund to
counterparty risk of default as well as the risk that securities may experience fluctuations in value prior to their actual delivery. The Acquiring Fund will not accrue income with respect to a when-issued or delayed delivery security prior to its
stated delivery date. Purchasing securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis can involve the additional risk that the price or yield available in the market when the delivery takes place may not be as favorable as that obtained in the
transaction itself. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Swaps</U>.&nbsp;Swap agreements are types of derivatives.&nbsp;In order to seek to hedge the value of
the Acquiring Fund&#146;s portfolio, to hedge against increases in the Acquiring Fund&#146;s cost associated with the interest payments on its outstanding borrowings or to seek to increase the Acquiring Fund&#146;s return, the Acquiring Fund may

Acquiring Fund to make payments to its counterparty in the transaction that could adversely affect Fund performance.&nbsp;In addition to the risks applicable to swaps generally, credit default
swap transactions involve special risks because they are difficult to value, are highly susceptible to liquidity and credit risk, and generally pay a return to the party that has paid the premium only in the event of an actual default by the issuer
of the underlying obligation (as opposed to a credit downgrade or other indication of financial difficulty).&nbsp;The Acquiring Fund is not required to enter into interest rate or credit default swap transactions for hedging purposes or to enhance
its return and may choose not to do so. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Repurchase Agreements Risk</U>. Repurchase agreements typically involve the
acquisition by the Acquiring Fund of fixed income securities from a selling financial institution such as a bank, savings and loan association or broker-dealer. The agreement provides that the Acquiring Fund will sell the securities back to the
institution at a fixed time in the future. The Acquiring Fund does not bear the risk of a decline in the value of the underlying security unless the seller defaults under its repurchase obligation. In the event of the bankruptcy or other default of
a seller of a repurchase agreement, the Acquiring Fund could experience both delays in liquidating the underlying securities and losses, including possible decline in the value of the underlying security during the period in which the Acquiring Fund
seeks to enforce its rights thereto; possible lack of access to income on the underlying security during this period; and expenses of enforcing its rights. The value of the collateral underlying the repurchase agreement will be at least equal to the
repurchase price, including any accrued interest earned on the repurchase agreement. In the event of a default or bankruptcy by a selling financial institution, the Acquiring Fund generally will seek to liquidate such collateral. However, the
exercise of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s right to liquidate such collateral could involve certain costs or delays and, to the extent that proceeds from any sale upon a default of the obligation to repurchase were less than the repurchase price, the
Acquiring Fund could suffer a loss. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Investment in Other Investment Companies Risk</U>.&nbsp;As with other investments,
investments in other investment companies are subject to market and selection risk. In addition, if the Acquiring Fund acquires shares of investment companies, including ones affiliated with the Acquiring Fund, the Acquiring Fund&#146;s common
shareholders will bear both their proportionate share of expenses in the Acquiring Fund (including management and advisory fees) and, indirectly, the expenses of the investment companies. To the extent the Acquiring Fund is held by an affiliated
fund, the ability of the Acquiring Fund itself to hold other investment companies may be limited. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Restricted and Illiquid
Securities Risk</U>. The Acquiring Fund may invest in illiquid or less liquid securities or securities in which no secondary market is readily available or which are otherwise illiquid, including private placement securities. The Acquiring Fund may
not be able to readily dispose of such securities at prices that approximate those at which the Acquiring Fund could sell such securities if they were more widely-traded and, as a result of such illiquidity, the Acquiring Fund may have to sell other
investments or engage in borrowing transactions if necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations. Limited liquidity can also affect the market price of securities, thereby adversely affecting the Acquiring Fund&#146;s NAV and ability to make
dividend distributions.&nbsp;The financial markets in general have in recent years experienced periods of extreme secondary market supply and demand imbalance, resulting in a loss of liquidity during which market prices were suddenly and
substantially below traditional measures of intrinsic value.&nbsp;During such periods, some securities could be sold only at arbitrary prices and with substantial losses.&nbsp;Periods of such market dislocation may occur again at any time.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Restricted securities are securities that may not be sold to the public without an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, or that may be sold only in a privately negotiated transaction or pursuant to an exemption from registration. When registration is required to sell a security, the Acquiring Fund may be obligated to pay all or part of the
registration expenses and considerable time may pass before the Acquiring Fund is permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If adverse market conditions develop during this period, the Acquiring Fund might obtain a less
favorable price than the price that prevailed when the Acquiring Fund decided to sell. The Acquiring Fund may be unable to sell restricted and other illiquid securities at opportune times or prices. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Strategic Transactions Risk</U>. The Acquiring Fund may engage in various derivative
transactions or portfolio strategies both to increase the return of the Acquiring Fund and for duration and risk management purposes (&#147;Strategic Transactions&#148;). These Strategic Transactions include the use of derivatives, such as indexed
securities, inverse floating rate securities, options, futures, options on futures, interest rate swap transactions and credit default swaps. The risks associated with Strategic Transactions include (i)&nbsp;the imperfect correlation between the
value of such instruments and the underlying assets, (ii)&nbsp;the possible default of the counterparty to the transaction, (iii)&nbsp;illiquidity of the derivative instruments, and (iv)&nbsp;high volatility losses caused by unanticipated market
movements, which are potentially unlimited. Although both over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivatives markets may experience the lack of liquidity, over-the-counter non-standardized derivative transactions are generally less liquid than
exchange-traded instruments. The Acquiring Fund&#146;s ability to successfully use Strategic Transactions depends on the Investment Advisor&#146;s ability to predict pertinent securities prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and other
economic factors, which cannot be assured. Strategic Transactions subject the Acquiring Fund to the risk that, if the Investment Advisor incorrectly forecasts market values, interest rates or other applicable factors, the Acquiring Fund&#146;s
performance could suffer. Certain of these Strategic Transactions, such as investments in inverse floating rate securities and credit default swaps, may provide investment leverage to the Acquiring Fund&#146;s portfolio. The Acquiring Fund is not
required to use derivatives or other portfolio strategies to seek to increase return or to seek to hedge its portfolio and may choose not to do so. There can be no assurance that the Acquiring Fund&#146;s Strategic Transactions will be effective.
The use of Strategic Transactions may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require the Acquiring Fund to sell or purchase portfolio securities at inopportune times or for prices other than current market values, may limit the
amount of appreciation the Acquiring Fund can realize on an investment or may cause the Acquiring Fund to hold a security that it might otherwise sell. Additionally, segregated liquid assets, amounts paid by a Fund as premiums and cash or other
assets held in margin accounts with respect to Strategic Transactions are not otherwise available to the Acquiring Fund for investment purposes. Some of the derivative strategies that the Acquiring Fund may use to seek to increase its return are
riskier than its hedging transactions and have speculative characteristics. Such strategies do not attempt to limit the Acquiring Fund&#146;s risk of loss. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Derivatives Risk</U>.&nbsp;Derivatives are financial contracts or instruments whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index (or relationship
between two indices).&nbsp;The Acquiring Fund&#146;s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives are
subject to a number of risks described elsewhere in this section, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk and management risk. They also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also involve the
risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. In this regard, the Acquiring Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective, in part, by investing in derivatives positions that
are designed to closely track the performance (or inverse performance) of an index on a daily basis. However, the overall investment strategies of the Acquiring Fund are not designed or expected to produce returns which replicate the performance (or
inverse performance) of the particular index, and the degree of variation could be substantial, particularly over longer periods. There are a number of factors which may prevent the Acquiring Fund, or the derivatives or other strategies used by the
Acquiring Fund, from achieving desired correlation (or inverse correlation) with an index, such as the impact of fees, expenses and transaction costs, the timing of pricing, and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for derivative instruments or
securities in which the Acquiring Fund invests. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Acquiring Fund&#146;s investments in a derivative instrument could lose
more than the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances and there can be no assurance that the Acquiring Fund will engage in these transactions to reduce exposure to other risks when
that would be beneficial. Although the Investment Advisor seeks to use derivatives to further the Acquiring Fund&#146;s investment objective, there is no assurance that the use of derivatives will achieve this result. </FONT></P>

the Acquiring Fund had not been leveraged. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Counterparty Risk</U>.&nbsp;The Acquiring Fund will be subject to credit risk
with respect to the counterparties to the derivative contracts purchased by the Acquiring Fund. Because derivative transactions in which the Acquiring Fund may engage may involve instruments that are not traded on an exchange but are instead traded
between counterparties based on contractual relationships, the Acquiring Fund is subject to the risk that a counterparty will not perform its obligations under the related contracts. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform
its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Acquiring Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in bankruptcy or other reorganization proceedings. The Acquiring Fund may obtain only a limited recovery, or may obtain no
recovery, in such circumstances. Although the Acquiring Fund intends to enter into transactions only with counterparties that the Investment Advisor believes to be creditworthy, there can be no assurance that, as a result, a counterparty will not
default and that the Acquiring Fund will not sustain a loss on a transaction. In the event of the counterparty&#146;s bankruptcy or insolvency, the Acquiring Fund&#146;s collateral may be subject to the conflicting claims of the counterparty&#146;s
creditors, and the Acquiring Fund may be exposed to the risk of a court treating the Acquiring Fund as a general unsecured creditor of the counterparty, rather than as the owner of the collateral.&nbsp;There can be no assurance that a clearing
organization, or its members, will satisfy its obligations to the Acquiring Fund. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, the Acquiring Fund is subject
to the risk that issuers of the instruments in which it invests and trades may default on their obligations under those instruments, and that certain events may occur that have an immediate and significant adverse effect on the value of those
instruments. There can be no assurance that an issuer of an instrument in which the Acquiring Fund invests will not default, or that an event that has an immediate and significant adverse effect on the value of an instrument will not occur, and that
the Acquiring Fund will not sustain a loss on a transaction as a result. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Legal, Tax and Regulatory Risks</U>. Legal, tax
and regulatory changes could occur that may materially adversely affect the Acquiring Fund.&nbsp;For example, the regulatory and tax environment for derivative instruments in which the Acquiring Fund may participate is evolving, and changes in the
regulation or taxation of derivative instruments may materially adversely affect the value of derivative instruments held by the Acquiring Fund and the ability of the Acquiring Fund to pursue its investment strategies. To qualify for the favorable
U.S. federal income tax treatment generally accorded to regulated investment companies (&#147;RICs&#148;), the Acquiring Fund must, among other things, derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its gross income from certain prescribed sources and
distribute for each taxable year at least 90% of its &#147;investment company taxable income&#148; (generally, ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss) and its net tax-exempt interest
income.&nbsp;If for any taxable year the Acquiring Fund does not qualify as a RIC, all of its taxable income for that year (including its net capital gain) would be subject to tax at regular corporate rates without any deduction for distributions to
shareholders, and such distributions would be taxable as ordinary dividends to the extent of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s current and accumulated earnings and profits. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>1940 Act Regulation</U>. The Acquiring Fund is a registered closed-end investment company and as such is subject to regulations under the 1940 Act.&nbsp;Generally speaking, any contract or provision
thereof that is made, or where performance involves a violation of the 1940 Act or any rule or regulation thereunder is unenforceable by either party unless a court finds otherwise. </FONT></P>

as early as 2005 and throughout the global financial crisis, routinely made artificially low submissions in the London Interbank Offered Rate (&#147;LIBOR&#148;) setting process. Since the LIBOR scandal came to light, several financial institutions
have been fined significant amounts by various financial regulators in connection with allegations of manipulation of LIBOR. Other financial institutions in various countries are being investigated for similar actions. These developments may have
adversely affected the interest rates on securities whose interest payments were determined by reference to LIBOR. Any future similar developments could, in turn, reduce the value of such securities owned by the Acquiring Fund. </FONT></P>

United States credit rating, deterioration of the housing market, the failure of major financial institutions and the resulting United States federal government actions led in the recent past, and may lead in the future, to worsening general
economic conditions, which did, and could, materially and adversely impact the broader financial and credit markets and reduce the availability of debt and equity capital for the market as a whole and financial firms in particular.&nbsp;These events
may increase the volatility of the value of securities owned by the Acquiring Fund and/or result in sudden and significant valuation increases or decreases in its portfolio.&nbsp;These events also may make it more difficult for the Acquiring Fund to
accurately value its securities or to sell its securities on a timely basis. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">While the extreme volatility and disruption that
U.S. and global markets experienced for an extended period of time beginning in 2007 and 2008 has generally subsided, uncertainty and periods of volatility remain, and risks to a robust resumption of growth persist.&nbsp;In 2010, several EU
countries, including Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain and Portugal, began to face budget issues, some of which may have negative long-term effects for the economies of those countries and other EU countries.&nbsp;There is continued concern about
national-level support for the Euro and the accompanying coordination of fiscal and wage policy among European Monetary Union (&#147;EMU&#148;) member countries.&nbsp;Recent downgrades to the credit ratings of major banks could result in increased
borrowing costs for such banks and negatively affect the broader economy. Moreover, the policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (&#147;Federal Reserve&#148;), including with respect to certain interest rates and the decision
to end its quantitative easing policy, may adversely affect the value, volatility and liquidity of dividend and interest paying securities. Market volatility, rising interest rates and/or a return to unfavorable economic conditions could impair the

risk have led to market imbalances of sellers and buyers, which in turn have resulted in significant valuation uncertainties in a variety of securities and significant and rapid value decline in certain instances.&nbsp;Additionally, periods of
market volatility remain, and may continue to occur in the future, in response to various political, social and economic events both within and outside of the United States. These conditions resulted in, and in many cases continue to result in,
greater price volatility, less liquidity, widening credit spreads and a lack of price transparency, with many securities remaining illiquid and of uncertain value.&nbsp;Such market conditions may make valuation of some of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s

significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s portfolio. Any partial or complete dissolution of the EMU could have significant adverse effects on currency and financial markets, and on the values of the

the Dodd-Frank Act, the Volcker Rule&#146;s effective date was July&nbsp;21, 2012 and the Final Regulations become effective on April&nbsp;14, 2014; however, concurrent with the adoption of the Final Regulations the Federal Reserve granted a
statutorily permitted conformance period, essentially making the effective date of the Volcker Rule and the Final Regulations July&nbsp;21, 2015.&nbsp;On&nbsp;December&nbsp;18, 2014, the Federal Reserve granted an additional extension to the
conformance period, giving banking entities until July&nbsp;21, 2016 to comply with the Volcker Rule, in respect of investments in and relationships with certain funds that were in place prior to December&nbsp;31, 2013 (&#147;legacy covered funds
and relationships&#148;). The Federal Reserve also announced that, with respect to legacy covered funds and relationships, the Federal Reserve intends to grant a final one-year extension to the conformance period in 2015, which would give banking
entities until July&nbsp;21, 2017 to comply with the Volcker Rule. However, all investments in and relationships with funds covered by the Volcker Rule made after December&nbsp;31, 2013 must be divested or restructured by July&nbsp;21, 2015. The
Volcker Rule and the Final Regulations could have a significant negative impact on BlackRock and the Investment Advisor.&nbsp;BlackRock may attempt to take certain actions to lessen the impact of the Volcker Rule, although no assurance can be given
that such actions would be successful and no assurance can be given that such actions would not have a significant negative impact on the Acquiring Fund.&nbsp;Upon the end of the applicable conformance period, BlackRock&#146;s relationship with PNC
may require BlackRock to curtail some or all of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s activities with respect to PNC (if any). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The
continuing implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act could also adversely affect the Investment Advisor and the Acquiring Fund by increasing transaction and/or regulatory compliance costs.&nbsp;In addition, greater regulatory scrutiny and the
implementation of enhanced and new regulatory requirements may increase the Investment Advisor&#146;s and the Acquiring Fund&#146;s exposure to potential liabilities, and in particular liabilities arising from violating any such enhanced and/or new
regulatory requirements.&nbsp;Increased regulatory oversight could also impose administrative burdens on the Investment Advisor and the Acquiring Fund, including, without limitation, responding to investigations and implementing new policies and
procedures.&nbsp;The ultimate impact of the Dodd-Frank Act, and any resulting regulation, is not yet certain and the Investment Advisor and the Acquiring Fund may be affected by the new legislation and regulation in ways that are currently

Investment Advisor, and its affiliates, which include the Investment Advisor and PNC (&#147;Affiliates&#148;), are involved worldwide with a broad spectrum of financial services and asset management activities and may engage in the ordinary course
of business in activities in which their interests or the interests of their clients may conflict with those of the Acquiring Fund. BlackRock and its Affiliates may provide investment management services to other funds and discretionary managed
accounts that follow an investment program similar to that of the Acquiring Fund. Subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, BlackRock and its Affiliates intend to engage in such activities and may receive compensation from third parties for their
services. Neither BlackRock nor its Affiliates are under any obligation to share any investment opportunity, idea or strategy with the Acquiring Fund. As a result, BlackRock and its Affiliates may compete with the Acquiring Fund for appropriate
investment opportunities. The results of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s investment activities, therefore, may differ from those of an Affiliate or another account managed by an Affiliate and it is possible that the Acquiring Fund could sustain losses
during periods in which one or more Affiliates and other accounts achieve profits on their trading for proprietary or other accounts. The 1940 Act imposes limitations on certain transactions between a registered investment company and affiliated
persons of the investment company, as well as affiliated persons of such affiliated persons.&nbsp;Among others, affiliated persons of an investment company include its investment adviser; officers; directors/trustees; any person who directly or
indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such investment company; any person directly or indirectly owning, controlling or holding with power to vote, five percent or more of the outstanding voting securities of such
investment company; and any person five percent or more of whose outstanding voting securities are directly or indirectly owned, controlled or held with power to vote by such investment company. BlackRock has adopted policies and procedures designed
to address potential conflicts of interests. For additional information about potential conflicts of interest and the way in which BlackRock addresses such conflicts, please see &#147;Conflicts of Interest&#148; in the Statement of Additional

by the Acquiring Fund will decline.&nbsp;There is a risk that equity and/or bond markets will go down in value, including the possibility that such markets will go down sharply and unpredictably.&nbsp;Stock markets are volatile, and the price of
equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company&#146;s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions.&nbsp;An adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of a particular common stock held
by the Acquiring Fund. Also, the price of common stocks is sensitive to general movements in the stock market and a drop in the stock market may depress the price of common stocks to which the Acquiring Fund has exposure. Common stock prices
fluctuate for several reasons, including changes in investors&#146; perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general condition of the relevant stock market, or when political or economic events affecting the issuers occur.

to conduct business, the Acquiring Fund is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events.&nbsp;Cyber attacks include, but are not limited
to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems (e.g., through &#147;hacking&#148; or malicious software coding) for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cyber attacks
may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites (i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users). Cyber security failures or breaches
by the Acquiring Fund&#146;s investment adviser and other service providers (including, but not limited to, fund accountants, custodians, transfer agents and administrators), and the issuers of securities in which the Acquiring Fund invests, have
the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Acquiring Fund&#146;s ability to calculate its net asset value, impediments to trading, the inability of Acquiring Fund
shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, or additional compliance costs. In addition, substantial costs may be
incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. While the Acquiring Fund has established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, such cyber attacks, there are inherent limitations in such
plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Acquiring Fund cannot control the cyber security plans and systems put in place by service providers to the Acquiring Fund and issuers in which

binding the Acquiring Fund to transactions that exceed authorized limits or present unacceptable risks and unauthorized trading activities, concealing unsuccessful trading activities (which, in any case, may result in unknown and unmanaged risks or
losses) or making misrepresentations regarding any of the foregoing.&nbsp;Losses could also result from actions by the Acquiring Fund&#146;s service providers, including, without limitation, failing to recognize trades and misappropriating
assets.&nbsp;In addition, employees and service providers may improperly use or disclose confidential information, which could result in litigation or serious financial harm, including limiting the Acquiring Fund&#146;s business prospects or future
marketing activities. Despite the Investment Advisor&#146;s due diligence efforts, misconduct and intentional misrepresentations may be undetected or not fully comprehended, thereby potentially undermining the Investment Advisor&#146;s due diligence
efforts. As a result, no assurances can be given that the due diligence performed by the Investment Advisor will identify or prevent any such misconduct. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Inflation Risk</U>. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investment will be worth less in the future, as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases,
the real value of the Common Shares and distributions on those shares can decline. In addition, during any periods of rising inflation, interest rates on any borrowings by the Acquiring Fund would likely increase, which would tend to further reduce
returns to the holders of Common Shares. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Deflation Risk</U>.&nbsp;Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the
economy decline over time, which may have an adverse effect on the market valuation of companies, their assets and their revenues. In addition, deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer default more
likely, which may result in a decline in the value of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s portfolio. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Portfolio Turnover Risk</U>.
The Acquiring Fund&#146;s annual portfolio turnover rate may vary greatly from year to year, as well as within a given year.&nbsp;Portfolio turnover rate is not considered a limiting factor in the execution of investment decisions for the Acquiring
Fund.&nbsp;A higher portfolio turnover rate results in correspondingly greater brokerage commissions and other transactional expenses that are borne by the Acquiring Fund.&nbsp;High portfolio turnover may result in an increased realization of net
short-term capital gains by the Acquiring Fund which, when distributed to common and preferred shareholders, will be taxable as ordinary income.&nbsp;Additionally, in a declining market, portfolio turnover may create realized capital losses.

its Fund have historically traded at both a premium and a discount. As of June&nbsp;5, 2015, the NAV per Common Share of the Target Fund was $14.34 and the market price per Common Share of the Target Fund was $12.50, representing a discount to NAV
of (12.83)%, and the NAV per Common Share of the Acquiring Fund was $15.34 and the market price per Common Share of the Acquiring Fund was $13.44, representing a discount to NAV of (12.39)%. The Board of the Target Fund noted that to the extent the
Target Fund Common Shares are trading at a wider discount (or a narrower premium) than the Acquiring Fund at the time of the Reorganization, the Target Fund&#146;s common shareholders would have the potential for an economic benefit by the narrowing
of the discount or widening of the premium. The Board of the Target Fund also noted that to the extent the Target Fund Common Shares are trading at a narrower discount (or wider premium) than the Acquiring Fund at the time of the Reorganization,
Target Fund common shareholders may be negatively impacted if the Reorganization is consummated. The Board of the Acquiring Fund noted that Acquiring Fund common shareholders would only benefit from a premium/discount perspective to the extent the
Acquiring Fund&#146;s post-Reorganization discount (or premium) improves. There can be no assurance that, after the Reorganization, Common Shares of the Combined Fund will trade at a narrower discount to NAV or wider premium to NAV than the Common

the Reorganization, the Acquiring Fund expects to issue 873 additional VRDP Shares to Target Fund VRDP Holders.&nbsp;Following the completion of the Reorganization, the Combined Fund is expected to have 2,319 VRDP Shares outstanding. </FONT></P>

Fund&#146;s shareholders will remain invested in an exchange-listed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act that will have substantially greater net assets and substantially identical investment
objective, investment policies and investment restrictions. Each Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal obligations exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax) and
Michigan income taxes. Each Fund also currently invests primarily in investment grade municipal bonds and utilize leverage in the form of VRDP Shares and tender option bonds. The risk/return profile of the Combined Fund is expected to remain
comparable to those of each Fund before the Reorganization because of the similarities in the investment policies of each Fund. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Consistency of Portfolio Management and Portfolio Composition</I>. Each Board noted that each Fund has the same investment adviser and

Kalinoski, Theodore R. Jaeckel, Jr. and Walter O&#146;Connor. Each Board also considered the portfolio composition of its Fund and the impact of the Reorganization on the Fund&#146;s portfolio. Each Board noted that it is not anticipated that there

in tighter bid-ask spreads, better trade execution for the Combined Fund&#146;s common shareholders when purchasing or selling Combined Fund Common Shares and potential for improved premium/discount levels for the Combined Fund&#146;s Common Shares.

administrative efficiencies from its larger net asset size, including greater investment flexibility and investment options, greater diversification of portfolio investments, the ability to trade in larger positions, additional sources of leverage
or more competitive leverage terms and more favorable transaction terms. Each Board also noted that the Combined Fund may experience potential benefits from having fewer closed-end funds offering similar products in the market, including an
increased focus by investors on the remaining funds in the market (including the Combined Fund) and additional research coverage. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

gains, if any, recognized after the Reorganization, when such income and gains are eventually distributed by the Combined Fund. To the extent that such a distribution is not an &#147;exempt interest dividend&#148; (as defined in the Code), the

the Reorganization.&nbsp;Each Board also noted that the Combined Fund&#146;s capital loss carryforward loss on a per share basis is expected to be lower than the Acquiring Fund&#146;s capital loss carryforward loss per share, but higher than the
Target Fund&#146;s capital loss carryforward loss per share.&nbsp;Each Board considered that the ability of its Fund to fully utilize its existing capital loss carryforwards depends on many variables and assumptions, including projected performance,
and is, therefore, highly uncertain. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The portion of distributions that exceeds the Fund&#146;s current and accumulated
earnings and profits, which are calculated under tax principles, will constitute a non-taxable return of capital. Although capital loss carryforwards from prior years can offset realized net capital gains, capital loss carryforwards will offset
current earnings and profits only if they were generated in the Fund&#146;s 2012 taxable year or thereafter. If distributions in any tax year are less than the Fund&#146;s current earnings and profits but are in excess of net investment income and
net realized capital gains (which would occur, for example, if the Fund utilizes pre-2012 capital loss carryforwards to offset capital gains in that tax year), such excess is not treated as a non-taxable return of capital but rather may be taxable
to shareholders at ordinary income rates even though it may economically represent a return of capital. Under certain circumstances, such taxable excess distributions could be significant. Please see &#147;Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences of the Reorganization&#148; for additional information. </FONT></P>

that the Investment Advisor anticipated that the projected costs of the Reorganization may be recovered over time. The expenses of the Reorganization are estimated to be $331,000 for the Target Fund and $351,000 for the Acquiring Fund. Because of
the expected expense savings and other benefits for each Fund, the Investment Advisor recommended and the Board of each Fund has approved that its respective Fund be responsible for a portion of its own Reorganization expenses. The Board of each

objective is to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal and Michigan income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management. The Acquiring Fund seeks to achieve its
investment objective by investing at least 80% of an aggregate of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s net assets (including proceeds from the issuance of any preferred shares) and the proceeds of any borrowings for investment purposes, in a portfolio of
municipal obligations issued by or on behalf of the State of Michigan, its political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and by other qualifying issuers, each of which pays interest that, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is
excludable from gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes (except that the interest may be includable in taxable income for purposes of the Federal alternative minimum tax) and exempt from Michigan income taxes (&#147;Michigan Municipal
Bonds&#148;). The Acquiring Fund may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. The Acquiring Fund also may invest in municipal obligations issued by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the
United States and their political subdivisions, agencies or instrumentalities, each of which pays interest that is excludable from gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, but is not excludable
from gross income for Michigan income tax purposes (&#147;Municipal Bonds&#148;). In general, the Acquiring Fund does not intend for its investments to earn a large amount of interest income that is (i)&nbsp;includable in gross income for U.S.
federal income tax purposes or (ii)&nbsp;not exempt from Michigan income taxes. There can be no assurance that the Acquiring Fund&#146;s investment objective will be realized. Unless otherwise noted, the term &#147;Municipal Bonds&#148; also

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under normal market conditions, the Acquiring Fund expects to invest primarily in a
portfolio of long term Municipal Bonds that are commonly referred to as &#147;investment grade&#148; securities, which are obligations rated at the time of purchase within the four highest quality ratings as determined by either Moody&#146;s
(currently Aaa, Aa, A and Baa), S&amp;P (currently AAA, AA, A and BBB) or Fitch (currently AAA, AA, A and BBB). In the case of short term notes, the investment grade rating categories are SP-1+ through SP-2 for S&amp;P, MIG-1 through MIG-3 for
Moody&#146;s and F-1+ through F-3 for Fitch. In the case of tax exempt commercial paper, the investment grade rating categories are A-1+ through A-3 for S&amp;P, Prime-1 through Prime-3 for Moody&#146;s and F-1+ through F-3 for Fitch. Obligations
ranked in the lowest investment grade rating category (BBB, SP-2 and A-3 for S&amp;P; Baa, MIG-3 and Prime-3 for Moody&#146;s and BBB and F-3 for Fitch), while considered &#147;investment grade,&#148; may have certain speculative characteristics.
There may be sub-categories or gradations indicating relative standing within the rating categories set forth above. In assessing the quality of Municipal Bonds with respect to the foregoing requirements, the Investment Advisor takes into account
the Municipal Bond insurance as well as the nature of any letters of credit or similar credit enhancement to which particular Municipal Bonds are entitled and the creditworthiness of the financial institution that provided such Municipal Bond
insurance or credit enhancement. Insurance is expected to protect the Acquiring Fund against losses caused by a bond issuer&#146;s failure to make interest or principal payments. However, insurance does not protect the Acquiring Fund or its
shareholders against losses caused by declines in a bond&#146;s market value. Also, the Acquiring Fund cannot be certain that any insurance company does not make these payments. If a bond&#146;s insurer fails to fulfill its obligations or loses its
credit rating, the value of the bond could drop. See Appendix C&#151;&#147;Ratings of Investments&#148; to the Statement of Addition Information. If unrated, such securities will possess creditworthiness comparable, in the opinion of the Investment
Advisor, to other obligations in which the Acquiring Fund may invest. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">All percentage and ratings limitations on securities in
which the Acquiring Fund may invest apply at the time of making an investment and shall not be considered violated if an investment rating is subsequently downgraded to a rating that would have precluded the Acquiring Fund&#146;s initial investment
in such security. In the event that the Acquiring Fund disposes of a portfolio security subsequent to its being downgraded, the Acquiring Fund may experience a greater risk of loss than if such security had been sold prior to such downgrade.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The net asset value of the common shares of a closed-end investment company, such as the Acquiring Fund, which invests
primarily in fixed income securities, changes as the general levels of interest rates fluctuate. When interest rates decline, the value of a fixed income portfolio can be expected to rise. Conversely, when interest rates rise, the value of a fixed
income portfolio can be expected to decline. Prices of longer term securities generally fluctuate more in response to interest rate changes than do shorter term securities. These changes in net asset value are likely to be greater in the case of a
fund having a leveraged capital structure, such as the Acquiring Fund. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Acquiring Fund invests primarily in long term
Municipal Bonds with maturities of more than ten years. However, the Acquiring Fund also may invest in intermediate term Municipal Bonds with maturities of between three years and ten years. The Acquiring Fund also may invest from time to time in
short term Municipal Bonds with maturities of less than three years. The average maturity of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s portfolio securities will vary based upon the Investment Advisor&#146;s assessment of economic and market conditions. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For temporary periods or to provide liquidity, the Acquiring Fund has the authority to invest as much as 20% of its total assets in tax
exempt and taxable money market obligations with a maturity of one year or less (such short term obligations being referred to herein as &#147;Temporary Investments&#148;). In addition, the Acquiring Fund reserves the right as a defensive measure to
invest temporarily a greater portion of its assets in Temporary Investments, when, in the opinion of the Investment Advisor, prevailing market or financial conditions warrant. Taxable money market obligations will yield taxable income. The Acquiring
Fund also may invest in variable rate demand obligations (&#147;VRDOs&#148;) and VRDOs in the form of participation interests (&#147;Participating VRDOs&#148;) in variable rate tax exempt obligations held by a financial institution. See

income tax purposes and, if applicable, exempt from Michigan income taxes (&#147;Non-Municipal Tax Exempt Securities&#148;). Non-Municipal Tax Exempt Securities could include trust certificates, partnership interests or other instruments evidencing
interest in one or more long term municipal securities. Non-Municipal Tax Exempt Securities also may include securities issued by other investment companies that invest in Municipal Bonds, to the extent such investments are permitted by the
Acquiring Fund&#146;s investment restrictions and applicable law. Non-Municipal Tax Exempt Securities are subject to the same risks associated with an investment in Municipal Bonds as well as many of the risks associated with investments in
derivatives. If the Internal Revenue Service were to issue any adverse ruling or take an adverse position with respect to the taxation of Non-Municipal Tax Exempt Securities, there is a risk that the interest paid on such securities would be deemed
taxable at the Federal level. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Acquiring Fund ordinarily does not realize significant investment income not exempt from

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Municipal Bonds include debt obligations issued to obtain funds for various public purposes, including the construction of a wide range of public facilities, refunding of outstanding obligations and
obtaining funds for general operating expenses and loans to other public institutions and facilities. In addition, certain types of private activity bonds (&#147;PABs&#148;) are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to finance various
privately owned or operated facilities, including among other things, airports, public ports, mass commuting facilities, multi-family housing projects, as well as facilities for water supply, gas, electricity, sewage or solid waste disposal and
other specialized facilities. Other types of PABs, the proceeds of which are used for the construction, equipment or improvement of privately operated industrial or commercial facilities, may constitute Municipal Bonds. The interest on Municipal
Bonds may bear a fixed rate or be payable at a variable or floating rate. The two principal classifications of Municipal Bonds are &#147;general obligation&#148; bonds and &#147;revenue&#148; bonds, which latter category includes PABs and, for bonds
issued on or before August&nbsp;15, 1986, industrial development bonds or &#147;IDBs.&#148; Municipal Bonds typically are issued to finance public projects, such as roads or public buildings, to pay general operating expenses or to refinance
outstanding debt.&nbsp;Municipal Bonds may also be issued for private activities, such as housing, medical and educational facility construction, or for privately owned industrial development and pollution control projects. General obligation bonds
are backed by the full faith and credit, or taxing authority, of the issuer and may be repaid from any revenue source. Revenue bonds may be repaid only from the revenues of a specific facility or source. Municipal Bonds may be issued on a long term
basis to provide permanent financing. The repayment of such debt may be secured generally by a pledge of the full faith and credit taxing power of the issuer, a limited or special tax, or any other revenue source, including

however, by provisions of its state constitution or laws, and an entity&#146;s creditworthiness will depend on many factors, including potential erosion of its tax base due to population declines, natural disasters, declines in the state&#146;s
industrial base or inability to attract new industries, economic limits on the ability to tax without eroding the tax base, state legislative proposals or voter initiatives to limit ad valorem real property taxes and the extent to which the entity
relies on Federal or state aid, access to capital markets or other factors beyond the state&#146;s or entity&#146;s control. Accordingly, the capacity of the issuer of a general obligation bond as to the timely payment of interest and the repayment
of principal when due is affected by the issuer&#146;s maintenance of its tax base. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Revenue Bonds</I>.&nbsp;Revenue or
special obligation bonds are typically payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source such as from the user of
the facility being financed. Accordingly, the timely payment of interest and the repayment of principal in accordance with the terms of the revenue or special obligation bond is a function of the economic viability of such facility or such revenue
source. Revenue bonds issued by state or local agencies to finance the development of low-income, multi-family housing involve special risks in addition to those associated with municipal securities generally, including that the underlying
properties may not generate sufficient income to pay expenses and interest costs. Such bonds are generally non-recourse against the property owner, may be junior to the rights of others with an interest in the properties, may pay interest that
changes based in part on the financial performance of the property, may be prepayable without penalty and may be used to finance the construction of housing developments which, until completed and rented, do not generate income to pay interest.
Increases in interest rates payable on senior obligations may make it more difficult for issuers to meet payment obligations on subordinated bonds. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Municipal Notes</I>.&nbsp;Municipal notes are shorter term municipal debt obligations. They may provide interim financing in anticipation of tax collection, bond sales or revenue receipts. If there is
a shortfall in the anticipated proceeds, repayment on the note may be delayed or the note may not be fully repaid, and the Acquiring Fund may lose money. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Municipal Commercial Paper</I>. Municipal commercial paper is generally unsecured and issued to meet short-term financing needs. The lack of security presents some risk of loss to the Acquiring Fund
since, in the event of an issuer&#146;s bankruptcy, unsecured creditors are repaid only after the secured creditors out of the assets, if any, that remain. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

alternative minimum tax and may impact the overall tax liability of certain investors in the Acquiring Fund. PABs, formerly referred to as industrial development bonds, are issued by, or on behalf of, states, municipalities or public authorities to
obtain funds to provide privately operated housing facilities, airport, mass transit or port facilities, sewage disposal, solid waste disposal or hazardous waste treatment or disposal facilities and certain local facilities for water supply, gas or
electricity. Other types of PABs, the proceeds of which are used for the construction, equipment, repair or improvement of privately operated industrial or commercial facilities, may constitute municipal securities,

although the federal tax laws may place substantial limitations on the size of such issues. Such bonds are secured primarily by revenues derived from loan repayments or lease payments due from
the entity which may or may not be guaranteed by a parent company or otherwise secured. PABs generally are not secured by a pledge of the taxing power of the issuer of such bonds. Therefore, an investor should be aware that repayment of such bonds
generally depends on the revenues of a private entity and be aware of the risks that such an investment may entail. Continued ability of an entity to generate sufficient revenues for the payment of principal and interest on such bonds will be
affected by many factors including the size of the entity, capital structure, demand for its products or services, competition, general economic conditions, government regulation and the entity&#146;s dependence on revenues for the operation of the
particular facility being financed. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Moral Obligation Bonds</I>.&nbsp;Municipal Bonds may also include &#147;moral
obligation&#148; bonds, which are normally issued by special purpose public authorities. If an issuer of moral obligation bonds is unable to meet its obligations, the repayment of such bonds becomes a moral commitment but not a legal obligation of
the state or municipality in question. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Municipal Lease Obligations</I>.&nbsp;Also included within the general category of
Municipal Bonds are certificates of participation (&#147;COPs&#148;) issued by government authorities or entities to finance the acquisition or construction of equipment, land and/or facilities. The COPs represent participations in a lease, an
installment purchase contract or a conditional sales contract (hereinafter collectively called &#147;lease obligations&#148;) relating to such equipment, land or facilities. Municipal leases, like other municipal debt obligations, are subject to the
risk of non-payment Although lease obligations do not constitute general obligations of the issuer for which the issuer&#146;s unlimited taxing power is pledged, a lease obligation is frequently backed by the issuer&#146;s covenant to budget for,
appropriate and make the payments due under the lease obligation. However, certain lease obligations contain &#147;non-appropriation&#148; clauses which provide that the issuer has no obligation to make lease or installment purchase payments in
future years unless money is appropriated for such purpose on a yearly basis. Although &#147;non-appropriation&#148; lease obligations are secured by the leased property, disposition of the property in the event of foreclosure might prove difficult
and the value of the property may be insufficient to issue lease obligations. Certain investments in lease obligations may be illiquid. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The ability of issuers of municipal leases to make timely lease payments may be adversely impacted in general economic downturns and as relative governmental cost burdens are allocated and reallocated
among federal, state and local governmental units. Such non-payment would result in a reduction of income to the Acquiring Fund, and could result in a reduction in the value of the municipal lease experiencing non-payment and a potential decrease in
the net asset value of the Acquiring Fund. Issuers of municipal securities might seek protection under the bankruptcy laws. In the event of bankruptcy of such an issuer, the Acquiring Fund could experience delays and limitations with respect to the
collection of principal and interest on such municipal leases and the Acquiring Fund may not, in all circumstances, be able to collect all principal and interest to which it is entitled. To enforce its rights in the event of a default in lease
payments, the Acquiring Fund might take possession of and manage the assets securing the issuer&#146;s obligations on such securities, which may increase the Acquiring Fund&#146;s operating expenses and adversely affect the net asset value of the
Acquiring Fund. When the lease contains a non-appropriation clause, however, the failure to pay would not be a default and the Acquiring Fund would not have the right to take possession of the assets. Any income derived from the Acquiring
Fund&#146;s ownership or operation of such assets may not be tax-exempt. In addition, the Acquiring Fund&#146;s intention to qualify as a &#147;regulated investment company&#148; under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, may limit the extent to which
the Acquiring Fund may exercise its rights by taking possession of such assets, because as a regulated investment company the Acquiring Fund is subject to certain limitations on its investments and on the nature of its income. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Zero Coupon Bonds</I>.&nbsp;Municipal Bonds may include zero-coupon bonds. Zero coupon bonds are securities that are sold at a
discount to par value and do not pay interest during the life of the security. The discount approximates the total amount of interest the security will accrue and compound over the period until maturity at a rate of interest reflecting the market
rate of the security at the time of issuance. Upon maturity, the holder of a zero coupon bond is entitled to receive the par value of the security. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">While interest payments are not made on such securities, holders of such securities are
deemed to have received income (&#147;phantom income&#148;) annually, notwithstanding that cash may not be received currently. The effect of owning instruments that do not make current interest payments is that a fixed yield is earned not only on
the original investment but also, in effect, on all discount accretion during the life of the obligations. This implicit reinvestment of earnings at a fixed rate eliminates the risk of being unable to invest distributions at a rate as high as the
implicit yield on the zero coupon bond, but at the same time eliminates the holder&#146;s ability to reinvest at higher rates in the future. For this reason, some of these securities may be subject to substantially greater price fluctuations during
periods of changing market interest rates than are comparable securities that pay interest currently. Longer term zero coupon bonds are more exposed to interest rate risk than shorter term zero coupon bonds. These investments benefit the issuer by
mitigating its need for cash to meet debt service, but also require a higher rate of return to attract investors who are willing to defer receipt of cash. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Acquiring Fund accrues income with respect to these securities for U.S. federal income tax and accounting purposes prior to the receipt of cash payments.&nbsp;Zero coupon bonds may be subject to

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Further, to maintain its qualification for pass-through treatment under the Federal tax laws, the Acquiring Fund is required to distribute income to its shareholders and, consequently, may have to dispose
of other, more liquid portfolio securities under disadvantageous circumstances or may have to leverage itself by borrowing in order to generate the cash to satisfy these distributions. The required distributions may result in an increase in the
Acquiring Fund&#146;s exposure to zero coupon bonds. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition to the above-described risks, there are certain other risks
related to investing in zero coupon bonds. During a period of severe market conditions, the market for such securities may become even less liquid. In addition, as these securities do not pay cash interest, the Acquiring Fund&#146;s investment
exposure to these securities and their risks, including credit risk, will increase during the time these securities are held in the Acquiring Fund&#146;s portfolio. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Pre-Refunded Municipal Securities</I>. The principal of, and interest on, pre-refunded municipal securities are no longer paid from the original revenue source for the securities. Instead, the source
of such payments is typically an escrow fund consisting of U.S. Government securities. The assets in the escrow fund are derived from the proceeds of refunding bonds issued by the same issuer as the pre-refunded municipal securities. Issuers of
municipal securities use this advance refunding technique to obtain more favorable terms with respect to securities that are not yet subject to call or redemption by the issuer. For example, advance refunding enables an issuer to refinance debt at
lower market interest rates, restructure debt to improve cash flow or eliminate restrictive covenants in the indenture or other governing instrument for the pre-refunded municipal securities. However, except for a change in the revenue source from
which principal and interest payments are made, the pre-refunded municipal securities remain outstanding on their original terms until they mature or are redeemed by the issuer. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Special Taxing Districts</I>.&nbsp;Special taxing districts are organized to plan and finance infrastructure developments to induce
residential, commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. The bond financing methods such as tax increment finance, tax assessment, special services district and Mello-Roos bonds (a type of municipal security established by the Mello-Roos
Community Facilities District Act of 1982), are generally payable solely from taxes or other revenues attributable to the specific projects financed by the bonds without recourse to the credit or taxing power of related or overlapping
municipalities. They often are exposed to real estate development-related risks and can have more taxpayer concentration risk than general tax-supported bonds, such as general obligation bonds. Further, the fees, special taxes, or tax allocations
and other revenues that are established to secure such financings are generally limited as to the rate or amount that may be levied or assessed and are not subject to increase pursuant to rate covenants or municipal or corporate guarantees. The
bonds could default if development failed to progress as anticipated or if larger taxpayers failed to pay the assessments, fees and taxes as provided in the financing plans of the districts. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Indexed and Inverse Floating Rate Securities</I>. The Acquiring Fund may invest in
Municipal Bonds (and Non-Municipal Tax-Exempt Securities) that yield a return based on a particular index of value or interest rates. For example, the Acquiring Fund may invest in Municipal Bonds that pay interest based on an index of Municipal Bond
interest rates. The principal amount payable upon maturity of certain Municipal Bonds also may be based on the value of the index. To the extent the Acquiring Fund invests in these types of Municipal Bonds, the Acquiring Fund&#146;s return on such
Municipal Bonds will be subject to risk with respect to the value of the particular index. Interest and principal payable on the Municipal Bonds may also be based on relative changes among particular indices. Also, the Acquiring Fund may invest in
so-called &#147;inverse floating rate bonds&#148; or &#147;residual interest bonds&#148; on which the interest rates typically vary inversely with a short-term floating rate (which may be reset periodically by a dutch auction, a remarketing agent,
or by reference to a short-term tax-exempt interest rate index). The Acquiring Fund may purchase synthetically-created inverse floating rate bonds evidenced by custodial or trust receipts. Generally, income on inverse floating obligations will
decrease when short-term interest rates increase, and will increase when short-term interest rates decrease. Such securities have the effect of providing a degree of investment leverage, since they may increase or decrease in value in response to
changes, as an illustration, in market interest rates at a rate that is a multiple (typically two) of the rate at which fixed-rate, long-term, tax-exempt securities increase or decrease in response to such changes. As a result, the market values of
such securities generally will be more volatile than the market values of fixed-rate tax-exempt securities. To seek to limit the volatility of these securities, the Acquiring Fund may purchase inverse floating rate bonds with shorter-term maturities
or limitations on the extent to which the interest rate may vary. Certain investments in such obligations may be illiquid. </FONT></P>

that it is entitled to receive on a when issued basis. The Acquiring Fund may also purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery basis. The Acquiring Fund may also purchase or sell securities through a forward commitment. These transactions
involve the purchase or sale of securities by the Acquiring Fund at an established price with payment and delivery taking place in the future. The purchase will be recorded on the date the Acquiring Fund enters into the commitment and the value of
the securities will thereafter be reflected in the Acquiring Fund&#146;s net asset value. The Acquiring Fund has not established any limit on the percentage of its assets that may be committed in connection with these transactions. At the time the
Acquiring Fund enters into a transaction on a when-issued basis, it will segregate or designate on its books and records cash or liquid assets with a value not less than the value of the when-issued securities. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There can be no assurance that a security purchased on a when issued basis will be issued or that a security purchased or sold through a
forward commitment will be delivered. A default by a counterparty may result in the Acquiring Fund missing the opportunity of obtaining a price considered to be advantageous. The value of&nbsp;securities in these transactions on the delivery date
may be more or less than the Acquiring Fund&#146;s purchase price. The Acquiring Fund may bear the risk of a decline in the value of the security in these transactions and may not benefit from an appreciation in the value of the security during the
commitment period. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If deemed advisable as a matter of investment strategy, the Acquiring Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a

or loss. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">When the Acquiring Fund engages in when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, it relies on

interest rates, will normally be lower than the income earned by the Acquiring Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments purchased with the proceeds from leverage. To the extent that the total assets of the Acquiring Fund (including the assets
obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, the Acquiring Fund&#146;s common shareholders can benefit from incremental net income. The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from leverage is paid
to common shareholders in the form of dividends, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected in the per share NAV. </FONT></P>

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, the Acquiring Fund&#146;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 the Acquiring Fund with the proceeds from leverage earn income based on longer-term interest rates. In this case, the Acquiring Fund&#146;s financing cost of leverage is significantly lower than the income earned on the Acquiring
Fund&#146;s longer-term investments acquired from leverage proceeds, and therefore the holders of Common Shares are the beneficiaries of the incremental net income. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

exceed the Acquiring Fund&#146;s return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds, income to common shareholders will be lower than if the Acquiring Fund had not used leverage. Furthermore, the value of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s 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 value of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s obligations under its leverage
arrangement generally does not fluctuate in relation to interest rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Acquiring Fund&#146;s NAVs positively or negatively. </FONT></P>

Common Shares than if the Acquiring Fund were not leveraged. In addition, the Acquiring 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 Acquiring Fund to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit the Acquiring Fund&#146;s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of
hedging strategies. The Acquiring Fund will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by common shareholders and may reduce income to the Common Shares. During periods in which the Acquiring Fund is using

more likely to suffer capital losses than to enjoy capital appreciation. For example, a total return of 0% assumes that the tax-exempt interest the Acquiring Fund receives on its municipal securities investments is entirely offset by losses in the

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Acquiring Fund has leveraged its portfolio by issuing VRDP Shares. Under the 1940 Act, the Acquiring Fund is not permitted to issue preferred shares if, immediately after such issuance, the
liquidation value of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s outstanding preferred shares exceeds 50% of its assets (including the proceeds from the issuance) less liabilities other than borrowings (i.e., the value of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s assets must be at
least 200% of the liquidation value of its outstanding preferred shares). In addition, the Acquiring Fund would not be permitted to declare any cash dividend or other distribution on its Common Shares unless, at the time of such declaration, the
value of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s assets less liabilities other than borrowings is at least 200% of such liquidation value.&nbsp;Please see &#147;Information about the VRDP Shares of the Funds&#148; for a description of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s
VRDP Shares. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For tax purposes, the Acquiring Fund is currently required to allocate tax-exempt interest income, net capital
gain and other taxable income, if any, between its Common Shares and preferred shares outstanding in proportion to total dividends paid to each class for the year in which or with respect to which the net capital gain or other taxable income is
paid. If net capital gain or other taxable income is allocated to preferred shares, instead of solely tax-exempt income, the Acquiring Fund will likely have to pay higher total dividends to preferred shareholders or make special payments to
preferred shareholders to compensate them for the increased tax liability. This would reduce the total amount of dividends paid to the holders of Common Shares, but would increase the portion of the dividend that is tax-exempt. If the increase in
dividend payments or the special payments to preferred shareholders are not entirely offset by a reduction in the tax liability of, and an increase in the tax-exempt dividends received by, the holders of Common Shares, the advantage of the Acquiring
Fund&#146;s leveraged structure to holders of Common Shares will be reduced. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>TOBs Residuals </I></FONT></P>

with comparable credit quality. </FONT></P>

  <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">TOB Residuals represent beneficial interests in a TOB Trust formed for the purpose of
holding municipal bonds contributed by one or more funds. A TOB Trust typically issues two classes of beneficial interests: TOB Floaters, which are sold to third party investors, and TOB Residuals, which are generally issued to the fund(s) that
transferred municipal bonds to the TOB Trust. The Acquiring Fund may invest in both TOB Floaters and TOB Residuals. TOB Floaters may have first priority on the cash flow from the municipal bonds held by the TOB Trust and are enhanced with a
liquidity support arrangement from a third party TOBs Liquidity Provider (defined below) which allows holders to tender their position at par (plus accrued interest). The Acquiring Fund, as a holder of TOB Residuals, is paid the residual cash flow
from the TOB Trust. The Acquiring Fund contributes municipal bonds to the TOB Trust and is paid the cash received by the TOB Trust from the sale of the TOB Floaters, less certain transaction costs, and typically will invest the cash to purchase
additional municipal bonds or other investments permitted by its investment policies. If the Acquiring Fund ever purchases all or a portion of the TOB Floaters sold by the TOB Trust, it may surrender those TOB Floaters together with a proportionate
amount of TOB Residuals to the TOB Trust in exchange for a proportionate amount of the municipal bonds owned by the TOB Trust. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Other BlackRock-advised funds may contribute municipal bonds to a TOB Trust into which the Acquiring Fund has contributed municipal
bonds. If multiple BlackRock-advised funds participate in the same TOB Trust, the economic rights and obligations under the TOB Residual will generally be shared among the funds ratably in proportion to their participation in the TOB Trust.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The municipal bonds transferred to a TOB Trust typically are high grade municipal bonds. In certain cases, when municipal
bonds transferred are lower grade municipal bonds, the TOB Trust transaction includes a credit enhancement feature that provides for the timely payment of principal and interest on the bonds to the TOB Trust by a credit enhancement provider. The TOB
Trust would be responsible for the payment of the credit enhancement fee and the Acquiring Fund, as a TOB Residual holder, would be responsible for reimbursement of any payments of principal and interest made by the credit enhancement provider.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The TOB Residuals held by the Acquiring Fund generally provide the Acquiring Fund with the right to cause the holders of a
proportional share of the TOB Floaters to tender their notes to the TOB Trust at par plus accrued interest. Thereafter, the Acquiring Fund may withdraw a corresponding share of the municipal bonds from the TOB Trust. As a result, a TOB transaction,
in effect, creates exposure for the Acquiring Fund to the entire return of the municipal bonds in the TOB Trust, with a net cash investment by the Acquiring Fund that is less than the value of the municipal bonds in the TOB Trust. This multiplies
the positive or negative impact of the municipal bonds&#146; return within the Acquiring Fund (thereby creating leverage). The leverage within a TOB Trust depends on the value of the municipal bonds deposited in the TOB Trust relative to the value
of the TOB Floaters it issues. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Acquiring Fund may invest in highly leveraged TOB Residuals. A TOB Residual generally is
considered highly leveraged if the principal amount of the TOB Floaters issued by the related TOB Trust exceeds 75% of the principal amount of the municipal bonds owned by the TOB Trust. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The TOB Trust may be collapsed without the consent of the Acquiring Fund upon the occurrence of TOTEs and MTEs, as defined in the TOB
Trust agreements. TOTEs include the bankruptcy or default of the issuer of the municipal bonds held in the TOB Trust, a substantial downgrade in the credit quality of the issuer of the municipal bonds held in the TOB Trust, failure of any scheduled
payment of principal or interest on the municipal bonds, and a judgment or ruling that interest on the municipal bonds is subject to federal income taxation. MTEs may include, among other things, a failed remarketing of the TOB Floaters, the
inability of the TOB Trust to obtain renewal of the liquidity support agreement, and a substantial decline in the market value of the municipal bonds held in the TOB Trust. Upon the occurrence of a TOTE or an MTE, a TOB Trust would be liquidated
with the proceeds applied first to any accrued fees owed to the trustee of the TOB Trust, the remarketing agent of the TOB Floaters and the TOBs Liquidity Provider. In the case of an MTE, after the payment of fees, the holders of the TOB Floaters

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">TOB Trusts are typically supported by a liquidity facility provided by a TOBs Liquidity Provider that allows the holders of the TOB
Floaters to tender their TOB Floaters in exchange for payment of par plus accrued interest on any business day (subject to the non-occurrence of a TOTE described above). Depending on the structure of the TOB Trust, the TOBs Liquidity Provider may
purchase the tendered TOB Floaters, or the TOB Trust may draw upon a loan from the TOBs Liquidity Provider to purchase the tendered TOB Floaters. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Acquiring Fund may invest in a TOB Trust on either a non-recourse or recourse basis. When the Acquiring Fund invests in TOB Trusts on a non-recourse basis, and the TOBs Liquidity Provider is required
to make a payment under the liquidity facility, the TOBs Liquidity Provider will typically liquidate all or a portion of the municipal bonds held in the TOB Trust and then fund the balance, if any, of the Liquidation Shortfall. If the Acquiring Fund
invests in a TOB Trust on a recourse basis, it will typically enter into a reimbursement agreement with the TOBs Liquidity Provider pursuant to which the Acquiring Fund is required to reimburse the TOBs Liquidity Provider the amount of any
Liquidation Shortfall. As a result, if the Acquiring Fund invests in a recourse TOB Trust, the Acquiring Fund will bear the risk of loss with respect to any Liquidation Shortfall. If multiple BlackRock-advised funds participate in any such TOB
Trust, these losses will be shared ratably, in proportion to their participation in the TOB Trust. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under accounting rules,
municipal bonds of the Acquiring Fund that are deposited into a TOB Trust are investments of the Acquiring Fund and are presented on the Acquiring Fund&#146;s Schedule of Investments and outstanding TOB Floaters issued by a TOB Trust are presented
as liabilities in the Acquiring Fund&#146;s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Interest income from the underlying municipal bonds is recorded by the Acquiring Fund on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the TOB Floaters and other
expenses related to remarketing, administration, trustee and other services to a TOB Trust are reported as expenses of the Acquiring Fund. In addition, under accounting rules, loans made to a TOB Trust sponsored by the Acquiring Fund may be
presented as loans of the Acquiring Fund in the Acquiring Fund&#146;s financial statements even if there is no recourse to the Acquiring Fund&#146;s assets. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For TOB Floaters, generally, the interest rate earned will be based upon the market rates for municipal bonds with maturities or remarketing provisions that are comparable in duration to the periodic
interval of the tender option. Since the tender option feature has a shorter term than the final maturity or first call date of the underlying municipal bonds deposited in the TOB Trust, the holder of the TOB Floaters relies upon the terms of the
agreement with the financial institution furnishing the liquidity facility as well as the credit strength of that institution. The risk associated with TOB Floaters, however, may be increased in the current market environment as a result of recent
downgrades to the credit ratings, and thus the perceived reliability and creditworthiness, of many major financial institutions, some of which sponsor and/or provide liquidity support to TOB Trusts. This in turn may reduce the desirability of TOB
Floaters as investments, which could impair the viability or availability of TOB Trusts. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The use of TOB Residuals will

</I></FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On December&nbsp;10, 2013, regulators published final rules implementing the Volcker Rule, which prohibit banking
entities from engaging in proprietary trading of certain instruments and limit such entities&#146; investments in, and relationships with, &#147;covered funds&#148;, as defined in the Volcker Rule. The Volcker Rule precludes banking entities and
their affiliates from sponsoring TOB Trusts as such Trusts have been structured prior to the effective date of the Volcker Rule. Banking entities subject to the Volcker Rule are required to fully comply by July&nbsp;21, 2015, with respect to
investments in and relationships with TOB Trusts that were not in place prior to December&nbsp;31, 2013, and by July&nbsp;21, 2016, with respect to investments in and relationships with TOB Trusts that were in place prior to December&nbsp;31, 2013.
As a result, TOB Trusts may need to be restructured or unwound. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In response to the restrictions imposed by the Volcker Rule,
market participants have developed a new structure for TOB Trusts designed to ensure that no banking entity is sponsoring the TOB Trust for purposes of the Volcker Rule. Specifically, the Acquiring Fund will establish, structure and
&#147;sponsor&#148; the TOB Trusts in which it holds TOB Residuals. In such a structure, certain responsibilities that previously belonged to the sponsor bank will be performed by, or on behalf of, the Acquiring Fund. The Acquiring Fund may utilize
service providers in meeting these responsibilities. This structure remains untested. It is possible that regulators could take positions that could limit the market for such newly structured TOB Trust transactions or the Acquiring Fund&#146;s
ability to hold TOB Residuals. Under the new TOB Trust structure, the Acquiring Fund will have certain additional duties and responsibilities, which may give rise to certain additional risks including, but not limited to, compliance, securities law
and operational risks. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Service providers to a TOB Trust, such as administrators, liquidity providers, trustees, and
remarketing agents, would be acting at the direction of, and as agent of, the Acquiring Fund as the TOB Residual holder. Similar to the current tender option bond structure, the Acquiring Fund would deposit municipal bonds into the TOB Trust in
exchange for TOB Residuals, the TOB Trust would then issue and sell TOB Floaters to third party investors, and the proceeds of the sale of the TOB Floaters would be distributed to such TOB Residual holders (i.e., the Acquiring Fund). Tendered TOB
Floaters would continue to be supported by a remarketing agent and a liquidity facility. However, the remarketing agent is not anticipated to purchase tendered TOB Floaters for its own account in the event of a failed remarketing, which may increase
the likelihood that a TOB Trust will need to be collapsed and liquidated in order to purchase the tendered TOB Floaters. In the event of a failed remarketing of TOB Floaters, the TOBs Liquidity Provider, at its option, may advance a loan to the TOB
Trust the proceeds of which would be used by the TOB Trust to purchase the tendered TOB Floaters. The TOBs Liquidity Provider is not obligated to advance such a loan. The TOB Trust would be the borrower with respect to any such loan. Any loans made
by a TOBs Liquidity Provider will be secured by the purchased TOB Floaters held by the TOB Trust. </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Similar to the current
structure for TOB Trusts, the Acquiring Fund may hold either non-recourse TOB Residuals or recourse TOB Residuals under the new structure. In the event of a Liquidation Shortfall, there would generally be no contractual recourse to the Acquiring
Fund&#146;s assets if the Acquiring Fund holds a non-recourse TOB Residual. However, as described above, the Acquiring Fund would bear the risk of loss with respect to any Liquidation Shortfall if it holds a recourse TOB Residual. </FONT></P>

financial futures contracts (&#147;financial futures contracts&#148;) in order to hedge its investments in Municipal Bonds against declines in value, and to hedge against increases in the cost of securities it intends to purchase or to seek to
enhance the Acquiring Fund&#146;s return. However, any transactions involving financial futures or options (including puts and calls associated therewith) will be in accordance with the Acquiring Fund&#146;s investment policies and limitations. A
financial futures contract obligates the seller of a contract to deliver and the purchaser of a contract to take delivery of the type of financial instrument covered by the contract, or in the case of index-based futures contracts to make and accept
a cash settlement, at a specific future time for a specified price. To hedge its portfolio, the Acquiring Fund may take an investment position in a futures contract which will move in the opposite direction from the portfolio position being hedged.
A sale of financial futures contracts may provide a hedge against a decline in the value of portfolio securities because such depreciation may be offset, in whole or in part, by an increase in the value of the position in the financial futures
contracts. A purchase of financial futures contracts may provide a hedge against an increase in the cost of securities intended to be purchased because such appreciation may be offset, in whole or in part, by an increase in the value of the position
in the futures contracts. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Distributions, if any, of net long term capital gains from certain transactions in futures or

futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a security or, in the case of an index-based futures contract, to make and accept a cash settlement for a set price on a future date. A majority of transactions in futures
contracts, however, do not result in the actual delivery of the underlying instrument or cash settlement, but are settled through liquidation, <I>i.e.</I>, by entering into an offsetting transaction. Futures contracts have been designed by boards of
trade which have been designated &#147;contracts markets&#148; by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (&#147;CFTC&#148;). </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The purchase or sale of a futures contract differs from the purchase or sale of a security in that no price or premium is paid or
received. Instead, an amount of cash or securities acceptable to the broker and the relevant contract market, which varies, but is generally about 5% of the contract amount, must be deposited with the broker. This amount is known as &#147;initial
margin&#148; and represents a &#147;good faith&#148; deposit assuring the performance of both the purchaser and seller under the futures contract. Subsequent payments to and from the broker, called &#147;variation margin,&#148; are required to be
made on a daily basis as the price of the futures contract fluctuates making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable, a process known as &#147;marking to the market.&#148; At any time prior to the settlement date
of the futures contract, the position may be closed out by taking an opposite position that will operate to terminate the position in the futures contract. A final determination of variation margin is then made, additional cash is required to be
paid to or released by the broker and the purchaser realizes a loss or gain. In addition, a nominal commission is paid on each completed sale transaction. </FONT></P>

indices that may become available if the Investment Advisor should determine that there is normally a sufficient correlation between the prices of such futures contracts and the Municipal Bonds in which the Acquiring Fund invests to make such

assume a short position) in anticipation of a decline in the value of its investments in Municipal Bonds resulting from an increase in interest rates or otherwise. The risk of decline could be reduced without employing futures as a hedge by selling
such Municipal Bonds and either reinvesting the proceeds in securities with shorter maturities or by holding assets in cash. This strategy, however, entails increased transaction costs in the form of dealer spreads and typically would reduce the
average yield of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s portfolio securities as a result of the shortening of maturities. The sale of futures contracts provides an alternative means of hedging against declines in the value of its investments in Municipal Bonds.
As such values decline, the value of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s positions in the futures contracts will tend to increase, thus offsetting all or a portion of the depreciation in the market value of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s Municipal Bond investments
that are being hedged. While the Acquiring Fund will incur commission expenses in selling and closing out futures positions, commissions on futures transactions are lower than transaction costs incurred in the purchase and sale of Municipal Bonds.
In addition, the ability of the Acquiring Fund to trade in the standardized contracts available in the futures markets may offer a more effective defensive position than a program to reduce the average maturity of the portfolio securities due to the
unique and varied credit and technical characteristics of the municipal debt instruments available to the Acquiring Fund. Employing futures as a hedge also may permit the Acquiring Fund to assume a defensive posture without reducing the yield on its
investments beyond any amounts required to engage in futures trading. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">When the Acquiring Fund intends to purchase Municipal
Bonds, the Acquiring Fund may purchase futures contracts as a hedge against any increase in the cost of such Municipal Bonds resulting from a decrease in interest rates or otherwise, that may occur before such purchases can be effected. Subject to
the degree of correlation between the Municipal Bonds and the futures contracts, subsequent increases in the cost of Municipal Bonds should be reflected in the value of the futures held by the Acquiring Fund. As such purchases are made, an
equivalent amount of futures contracts will be closed out. Due to changing market conditions and interest rate forecasts, however, a futures position may be terminated without a corresponding purchase of portfolio securities. </FONT></P>

financial futures contracts. The purchase of a call option on a futures contract is analogous to the purchase of a call option on an individual security. Depending on the pricing of the option compared to either the futures contract upon which it is
based or the price of the underlying debt securities, it may or may not be less risky than ownership of the futures contract or underlying debt securities. Like the purchase of a futures contract, the Acquiring Fund may purchase a call option on a

Options</I>.&nbsp;Investment in futures contracts involves the risk of imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the futures contract and the price of the security being hedged. The hedge will not be fully effective when there is
imperfect correlation between the movements in the prices of two financial instruments. For example, if the price of the futures contract moves more than the price of the hedged security, the Acquiring Fund will experience either a loss or gain on
the futures contract which is not completely offset by movements in the price of the hedged securities. To compensate for imperfect correlations, the Acquiring Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts in a greater dollar amount than the hedged
securities if the volatility of the hedged securities is historically greater than the volatility of the futures contracts. Conversely, the Acquiring Fund may purchase or sell fewer futures contracts if the volatility of the price of the hedged
securities is historically less than that of the futures contracts. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The correlation between futures contracts on U.S.
Government securities and the Municipal Bonds held by the Acquiring Fund may be adversely affected by disparities in the average maturity, ratings, geographical mix or structure of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s investments as compared to the U.S.
Government securities underlying the futures contract and general economic and political factors. The trading of futures contracts also is subject to certain market risks, such as inadequate trading activity, which could at times make it difficult
or impossible to liquidate existing positions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Acquiring Fund expects to liquidate a majority of the futures contracts it

required to sell portfolio securities to meet daily variation margin requirements at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so. The inability to close out futures positions also could have an adverse impact on the Acquiring Fund&#146;s ability

liquidity of a secondary market in a futures contract may be adversely affected by &#147;daily price fluctuation limits&#148; established by commodity exchanges which limit the amount of fluctuation in a futures contract price during a single
trading day. Once the daily limit has been reached in the contract, no trades may be entered into at a price beyond the limit, thus preventing the liquidation of open futures positions. Prices have in the past moved beyond the daily limit on a
number of consecutive trading days. The Acquiring Fund will enter into a futures position only if, in the judgment of the Investment Advisor, there appears to be an actively traded secondary market for such futures contracts. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The successful use of transactions in futures and related options also depends on the ability of the Investment Advisor to forecast
correctly the direction and extent of interest rate movements within a given time frame. To the extent interest rates remain stable during the period in which a futures contract or option is held by the Acquiring Fund or such rates move in a
direction opposite to that anticipated, the Acquiring Fund may realize a loss on the hedging transaction which is not fully or partially offset by an increase in the value of portfolio securities. As a result, the Acquiring Fund&#146;s total return
for such period may be less than if it had not engaged in the hedging transaction. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because of low initial margin deposits
made upon the opening of a futures position, futures transactions involve substantial leverage. As a result, relatively small movements in the price of the futures contracts can result in substantial unrealized gains or losses. There is also the
risk of loss by the Acquiring Fund of margin deposits in the event of bankruptcy of a broker with whom the Acquiring Fund has an open position in a financial futures contract. Because the Acquiring Fund will engage in the purchase and sale of
futures contracts for hedging purposes or to seek to enhance the Acquiring Fund&#146;s return, any losses incurred in connection therewith should, if the hedging strategy is successful, be offset in whole or in part by increases in the value of
securities held by the Acquiring Fund or decreases in the price of securities the Acquiring Fund intends to acquire. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The

participations therein. Municipal notes include tax anticipation notes, bond anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes and grant anticipation notes. Anticipation notes are sold as interim financing in anticipation of tax collection, bond sales,
government grants or revenue receipts. Municipal commercial paper refers to short term unsecured promissory notes generally issued to finance short term credit needs. The taxable money market securities in which the Acquiring Fund may invest as
Temporary Investments consist of U.S. Government securities, U.S. Government agency securities, domestic bank or savings institution certificates of deposit and bankers&#146; acceptances, short term corporate debt securities such as commercial paper
and repurchase agreements. These Temporary Investments must have a stated maturity not in excess of one year from the date of purchase. The Acquiring Fund may not invest in any security issued by a commercial bank or a savings institution unless the
bank or institution is organized and operating in the United States, has total assets of at least one billion dollars and is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (&#147;FDIC&#148;), except that up to 10% of total assets may be

Fund against interest rate fluctuations, to hedge against increases in the Acquiring Fund&#146;s costs associated with the dividend payments on any preferred shares, including the VRDP Shares, or to seek to increase the Acquiring Fund&#146;s return,
the Acquiring Fund may enter into interest rate swap transactions such as Municipal Market Data AAA Cash Curve swaps (&#147;MMD Swaps&#148;) or Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index swaps (&#147;SIFMA
Swaps&#148;). To the extent that the Acquiring Fund enters into these transactions, the Acquiring Fund expects to do so primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio as a duration management
technique or to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Acquiring Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date. The Acquiring Fund may enter into these transactions primarily as a hedge or for duration or risk management rather
than as a speculative investment. However, the Acquiring Fund also may invest in MMD Swaps and SIFMA Swaps to seek to enhance return or gain or to increase the Acquiring Fund&#146;s yield, for example, during periods of steep interest rate yield
curves (<I>i.e.</I>, wide differences between short term and long term interest rates). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Acquiring Fund may purchase and
sell SIFMA Swaps in the SIFMA swap market. In a SIFMA Swap, the Acquiring Fund exchanges with another party their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (<I>e.g.</I>, an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments linked to
the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index). Because the underlying index is a tax-exempt index, SIFMA Swaps may reduce cross-market risks incurred by the Acquiring Fund and increase the Acquiring Fund&#146;s ability to hedge effectively. SIFMA Swaps are
typically quoted for the entire yield curve, beginning with a seven day floating rate index out to 30 years. The duration of a SIFMA Swap is approximately equal to the duration of a fixed-rate Municipal Bond with the same attributes as the swap
(<I>e.g.</I>, coupon, maturity, call feature). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Acquiring Fund may also purchase and sell MMD Swaps, also known as MMD
rate locks. An MMD Swap permits the Acquiring Fund to lock in a specified municipal interest rate for a portion of its portfolio to preserve a return on a particular investment or a portion of its portfolio as a duration management technique or to
protect against any increase in the price of securities to be purchased at a later date. By using an MMD Swap, the Acquiring Fund can create a synthetic long or short position, allowing the Acquiring Fund to select the most attractive part of the
yield curve. An MMD Swap is a contract between the Acquiring Fund and an MMD Swap provider pursuant to which the parties agree to make payments to each other on a notional amount, contingent upon whether the Municipal Market Data AAA General
Obligation Scale is above or below a specified level on the expiration date of the contract. For example, if the Acquiring Fund buys an MMD Swap and the Municipal Market Data AAA General Obligation Scale is below the specified level on the
expiration date, the counterparty to the contract will make a payment to the Acquiring Fund equal to the specified level minus the actual level, multiplied by the notional amount of the contract. If the Municipal Market Data AAA General Obligation
Scale is above the specified level on the expiration date, the Acquiring Fund will make a payment to the counterparty equal to the actual level minus the specified level, multiplied by the notional amount of the contract. </FONT></P>

deliverable obligations of the reference entity whose value may have significantly decreased. As a seller, the Acquiring Fund generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap, which typically is between
six months and three years, provided that there is no credit event. If a credit event occurs, generally the seller must pay the buyer the full notional value of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the
reference entity whose value may have significantly decreased. As the seller, the Acquiring Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Acquiring Fund would be subject to investment exposure

invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to illiquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risks. The Acquiring Fund will enter into credit default swap agreements
only with counterparties the Investment Advisor believes to be creditworthy at the time they enter into such transactions. A buyer generally also will lose its investment and recover nothing should no credit event occur and the swap is held to its
termination date. If a credit event were to occur, the value of any deliverable obligation received by the seller, coupled with the upfront or periodic payments previously received, may be less than the full notional value it pays to the buyer,

the Acquiring Fund is a seller of protection in a credit default swap transaction, it will segregate or designate on its books and records in connection with such transaction liquid assets or cash with a value at least equal to the full notional
amount of the contract. Such segregation or designation will ensure that the Acquiring Fund has assets available to satisfy its obligations with respect to the transaction and will avoid any potential leveraging of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s

repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements may be entered into only with a member bank of the Federal Reserve System or primary dealer or an affiliate thereof, in U.S. Government securities or an affiliate thereof. A repurchase agreement is a
contractual agreement whereby the seller of securities agrees to repurchase the same security at a specified price on a future date agreed upon by the parties. The agreed-upon repurchase price determines the yield during the Acquiring Fund&#146;s
holding period. The risk to the Acquiring Fund is limited to the ability of the issuer to pay the agreed-upon repurchase price on the delivery date; however, although the value of the underlying collateral at the time the transaction is entered into
always equals or exceeds the agreed-upon repurchase price, if the value of the collateral declines there is a risk of loss of both principal and interest. In the event of default, the collateral may be sold but the Acquiring Fund might incur a loss
if the value of the collateral declines, and might incur disposition costs or experience delays in connection with liquidating the collateral. In addition, if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security,
realization upon the collateral by the Acquiring Fund may be delayed or limited. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In general, for Federal income tax purposes,
repurchase agreements are treated as collateralized loans secured by the securities &#147;sold.&#148; Therefore, amounts earned under such agreements will not be considered tax exempt interest. The treatment of purchase and sales contracts is less
certain. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Investment Restrictions </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

the Fund&#146;s Common Shares and in the net assets of the Fund available for distribution to holders of the Common Shares. Common shareholders do not have preemptive or conversion rights and each Fund&#146;s Common Shares are not
redeemable.&nbsp;Voting rights are identical for the common shareholders of each Fund. Common shareholders of each Fund are entitled to one vote for each Share held by them and do not have any preemptive or preferential right to purchase or
subscribe to any Shares of such Fund. Each Fund&#146;s Common Shares do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of a Fund&#146;s Common Shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of the
directors standing for election by such holders, and, in such event, the holders of the Fund&#146;s remaining Common Shares will not be able to elect any directors.&nbsp;The outstanding Common Shares of each Fund are fully paid and non-assessable.
Whenever preferred shares, including VRDP Shares, are outstanding, a Fund may not declare a dividend or distribution to common shareholders (other than a distribution in Common Shares of the Fund) or purchase its Common Shares unless all accumulated
dividends on preferred shares have been paid, and unless asset coverage (as defined in the 1940 Act) with respect to preferred shares at the time of declaration of such dividend or distribution or at the time of such purchase would be at least 200%
after giving effect to the dividend or distribution or purchase price. </FONT></P>

rate is determined based on, among other things, the long-term preferred share rating assigned to the VRDP Shares and the length of time that the VRDP Shares fail to be remarketed. The maximum rate of the VRDP Shares will not exceed 15%&nbsp;per
annum, exclusive of any applicable gross-up payments or increased dividend payment relating to the inclusion in any dividend of net capital gains or ordinary income taxable for regular federal income tax purposes. At the date of issuance, the VRDP

Common Shares is substantially the same as that of the Acquiring Fund. The Acquiring Fund intends to make regular monthly cash distributions of all or a portion of its net investment income, after payment of dividends on the Acquiring Fund&#146;s
preferred shares outstanding, to holders of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s Common Shares, except as described below in &#147;&#151;Undistributed Net Investment Income.&#148; The Acquiring Fund&#146;s net investment income consists of all interest income
accrued on portfolio assets less all expenses of the Acquiring Fund. The Acquiring Fund is required to allocate net capital gains and other taxable income, if any, received by the Acquiring Fund among its common shareholders on a pro rata basis in

individual Funds if the Reorganization was not completed. To permit the Acquiring Fund to maintain more stable monthly distributions and to the extent consistent with the distribution requirements imposed on regulated investment companies by the
Code, the Acquiring Fund may from time to time distribute less than the entire amount earned in a particular period. The income would be available to supplement future distributions. As a result, the distributions paid by the Acquiring Fund for any
particular month may be more or less than the amount actually earned by the Acquiring Fund during that month.&nbsp;The amount of undistributed income paid by the Acquiring Fund for any particular month may vary from time to time.&nbsp;The portion of
a Combined Fund&#146;s monthly distribution that consists of undistributed income may be greater than any individual Fund prior to the Reorganization for any particular month. Undistributed earnings will increase the Acquiring Fund&#146;s NAV and,

original purchase price of the outstanding preferred shares plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not earned or declared on a cumulative basis). In addition to the requirements of the 1940 Act, the Acquiring Fund may be required
to comply with other asset coverage requirements as a condition of the Acquiring Fund obtaining a rating of its preferred shares from a nationally recognized rating service. These requirements may include an asset coverage test more stringent than
that under the 1940 Act. This limitation on the Acquiring Fund&#146;s ability to make distributions on its Common Shares could in certain circumstances impair the ability of the Acquiring Fund to maintain its qualification for taxation as a
regulated investment company under the Code. The Acquiring Fund intends, however, to the extent possible, to purchase or redeem preferred shares from time to time to maintain compliance with such asset coverage requirements and may pay special
dividends to the holders of the preferred shares in certain circumstances in connection with any such impairment of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s status as a regulated investment company under the Code. </FONT></P>

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The tax treatment and characterization of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s distributions may vary significantly from time to time because of the varied nature of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s investments. The

capital is a return of a portion of an investor&#146;s original investment.&nbsp;A return of capital is generally not taxable, but it reduces a shareholder&#146;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 income tax purposes when the final determination of the source and character of the distributions is made. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As
described above, the portion of distributions that exceeds the Acquiring Fund&#146;s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which are calculated under tax principles, will constitute a non-taxable return of capital. Although capital loss
carryforwards from prior years can offset realized net capital gains, capital loss carryforwards will offset current earnings and profits only if they were generated in the Acquiring Fund&#146;s 2012 taxable year or thereafter. If distributions in
any tax year are less than the Acquiring Fund&#146;s current earnings and profits but are in excess of net investment income and net realized capital gains (which would occur, for example, if the Acquiring Fund utilizes pre-2012 capital loss
carryforwards to offset capital gains in that tax year), such excess is not treated as a non-taxable return of capital but rather may be taxable to shareholders at ordinary income rates even though it may economically represent a return of capital.
Under certain circumstances, such taxable excess distributions could be significant. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><A NAME="tx940896_13"></A>AUTOMATIC

amount in newly issued Acquiring Fund Common Shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued Acquiring Fund Common Shares to be credited to each participant&#146;s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the
dividend by the NAV on the dividend payment date. However, if the NAV is less than 95% of the market price on the dividend payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the dividend payment date. If,
on the dividend payment date, the NAV is greater than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition often referred to as a &#147;market discount&#148;), the Reinvestment Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in
Acquiring Fund Common Shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases. In the event of a market discount on the dividend payment date, the Reinvestment Plan Agent will have until the last business day before the next date on
which the Acquiring Fund Common Shares trade on an &#147;ex-dividend&#148; basis or 30 days after the dividend payment date, whichever is sooner (the &#147;last purchase date&#148;), to invest the dividend amount in Acquiring Fund Common Shares
acquired in open-market purchases. If, before the Reinvestment Plan Agent has completed its open-market purchases, the market price per Acquiring Fund Common Share exceeds the NAV per Acquiring Fund Common Share, the average per Acquiring Fund
Common Share purchase price paid by the Reinvestment Plan Agent may exceed the NAV of the Acquiring Fund Common Shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer Acquiring Fund Common Shares than if the dividend had been paid in newly issued Acquiring

open-market purchases, or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Reinvestment Plan Agent may cease making open-market purchases and may invest any uninvested portion in newly issued Acquiring Fund Common
Shares. Investments in newly issued Acquiring Fund Common Shares made in this manner would be made pursuant to the same process described above and the date of issue for such newly issued Acquiring Fund Common Shares will substitute for the dividend

charter.&nbsp;The amendment requires (i)&nbsp;the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of such Fund&#146;s outstanding Common Shares and VRDP Shares entitled to be voted on the matter, voting as a single class (or a majority of such
shares if the amendment was previously approved, adopted or authorized by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the total number of directors fixed in accordance with the bylaws), and (ii)&nbsp;the affirmative vote of a 1940 Act Majority of
the outstanding VRDP Shares, voting as a separate class. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The foregoing votes would satisfy a separate requirement in the 1940
Act that any conversion of a Fund to an open-end investment company be approved by the shareholders. If approved in the foregoing manners, we anticipate conversion of a Fund to an open-end investment company might not occur until 90 days after the
shareholders&#146; meeting at which such conversion was approved and would also require at least 10 days&#146; prior notice to all shareholders. Following any such conversion, it is possible that certain of the Fund&#146;s investment policies and
strategies would have to be modified to assure sufficient portfolio liquidity. In the event of conversion, the Fund&#146;s Common Shares would cease to be listed on the NYSE. Shareholders of an open-end investment company may require the company to
redeem their shares at any time, except in certain circumstances as authorized by or under the 1940 Act, at their NAV, less such redemption charge, if any, as might be in effect at the time of redemption. An open-end investment company expects to
pay all such redemption requests in cash, but reserves the right to pay redemption requests in a combination of cash and securities. If such partial payment in securities were made, investors may incur brokerage costs in converting such securities
to cash. If a Fund were converted to an open-end investment company, it is likely that new shares would be sold at NAV plus a sales load. Each Board believes, however, that its Fund&#146;s closed-end structure is desirable in light of its
Fund&#146;s investment objective and policies. Therefore, shareholders should assume that it is not likely that any Board would vote to convert its Fund to an open-end fund. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT

portfolio turnover and applicable law (including the requirement that capital loss carryforwards without expiration dates be utilized before capital loss carryforwards that have expiration dates), and is, therefore, highly uncertain. The Funds&#146;

(NYSE:&nbsp;MIY) (&#147;MIY&#148; or the &#147;Acquiring Fund,&#148; and together with the Target Fund, the &#147;Funds&#148;), whereby the Acquiring Fund will acquire substantially all of the assets and assume substantially all of the liabilities
of the Target Fund in exchange solely for newly issued shares of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s common stock, par value $0.10 per share (&#147;Common Shares&#148;) and Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares, par value $0.10 per share and with a
liquidation preference of $100,000 per share (plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends that have accrued on such Target Fund VRDP Share up to and including the day immediately preceding the effective date of the Reorganization if such dividends
have not been paid prior to such effective date) (&#147;VRDP Shares&#148; and together with the Common Shares, the &#147;Shares&#148;), in the form of book entry interests.&nbsp;The Acquiring Fund will list the newly issued Common Shares on the New

Strategic Transactions and Derivatives. </I>The Acquiring Fund&#146;s use of derivatives may reduce its returns and/or increase volatility.&nbsp;Volatility is defined as the characteristic of a security, an index or a market to fluctuate
significantly in price within a short time period.&nbsp;A risk of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s use of derivatives is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities markets.&nbsp;Derivatives are also
subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation.&nbsp;In addition, some derivatives are more sensitive to interest rate changes and market price fluctuations than
other securities.&nbsp;The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Acquiring Fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Acquiring Fund to losses and could make
derivatives more difficult for the Acquiring Fund to value accurately.&nbsp;The Acquiring Fund could also suffer losses related to its derivative positions as a result of unanticipated market movements, which losses are potentially
unlimited.&nbsp;Finally, the Investment Advisor may not be able to predict correctly the direction of securities prices, interest rates and other economic factors, which could cause the Acquiring Fund&#146;s derivatives positions to lose
value.&nbsp;When a derivative is used as a hedge against a position that the Acquiring Fund holds, any loss generated by the derivative generally should be substantially offset by gains on the hedged investment, and vice versa.&nbsp;While hedging
can reduce or eliminate losses, it can also reduce or eliminate gains.&nbsp;Hedges are sometimes subject to imperfect matching between the derivative and the underlying security, and there can be no assurance that the Acquiring Fund&#146;s hedging
transactions will be effective.&nbsp;The income from certain derivatives may be subject to federal income tax.&nbsp;Swap agreements involve the risk that the party with whom the Acquiring Fund has entered into the swap will default on its obligation
to pay the Acquiring Fund and the risk that the Acquiring Fund will not be able to meet its obligations to pay the other party to the agreement.&nbsp;Credit default swaps involve special risks in addition to those mentioned above because they are
difficult to value, are highly susceptible to liquidity and credit risk, and generally pay a return to the party that has paid the premium only in the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying obligation (as opposed to a credit
downgrade or other indication of financial difficulty). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Credit Risk</I>&#151;the risk that the counterparty in a

securities, including inverse securities (which move in an opposite direction to the index), may create leverage, to the extent that they increase or decrease in value at a rate that is a
multiple of the changes in the applicable index. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There can be no assurance that, at any specific time, either a liquid
secondary market will exist for a derivative or the Acquiring Fund will otherwise be able to sell such instrument at an acceptable price.&nbsp;It may, therefore, not be possible to close a position in a derivative without incurring substantial
losses, if at all.&nbsp;Certain transactions in derivatives (such as futures transactions or sales of put options) involve substantial leverage risk and may expose the Acquiring Fund to potential losses that exceed the amount originally invested by
the Acquiring Fund.&nbsp;When the Acquiring Fund engages in such a transaction, the Acquiring Fund will deposit in a segregated account liquid assets with a value at least equal to the Acquiring Fund&#146;s exposure, on a mark-to-market basis, to
the transaction (as calculated pursuant to requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission).&nbsp;Such segregation will ensure that the Acquiring Fund has assets available to satisfy its obligations with respect to the transaction, but will
not limit the Acquiring Fund&#146;s exposure to loss. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Risk Factors in Futures Transactions and Options Thereon</I>.
Investment in futures contracts involves the risk of imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the futures contract and the price of the security being hedged. The hedge will not be fully effective when there is imperfect correlation
between the movements in the prices of two financial instruments. For example, if the price of the futures contract moves more or less than the price of the hedged security, the Acquiring Fund will experience either a loss or gain on the futures
contract which is not completely offset by movements in the price of the hedged securities. To compensate for imperfect correlations, the Acquiring Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts in a greater dollar amount than the hedged securities if
the volatility of the hedged securities is historically greater than the volatility of the futures contracts. Conversely, the Acquiring Fund may purchase or sell fewer futures contracts if the volatility of the price of the hedged securities is
historically less than that of the futures contracts. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The correlation between futures contracts on U.S. Government securities
and the Municipal Bonds held by the Acquiring Fund may be adversely affected by disparities in the average maturity, ratings, geographical mix or structure of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s investments as compared to the U.S. Government securities
underlying the futures contract and general economic and political factors. The trading of futures contracts also is subject to certain market risks, such as inadequate trading activity, which could at times make it difficult or impossible to
liquidate existing positions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular futures
contract at any specific time. Thus, it may not be possible to close out a futures position. In the event of adverse price movements, the Acquiring Fund would continue to be required to make daily cash payments of variation margin. In such
situations, if the Acquiring Fund has insufficient cash, it may be required to sell portfolio securities to meet daily variation margin requirements at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so. The inability to close out futures positions also
could have an adverse impact on the Acquiring Fund&#146;s ability to hedge effectively its investments in Municipal Bonds. The liquidity of a secondary market in a futures contract may be adversely affected by &#147;daily price fluctuation
limits&#148; established by commodity exchanges which limit the amount of fluctuation in a futures contract price during a single trading day. Once the daily limit has been reached in the contract, no trades may be entered into at a price beyond the
limit, thus preventing the liquidation of open futures positions. Prices have in the past moved beyond the daily limit on a number of consecutive trading days. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The successful use of transactions in futures and related options also depends on the ability of the Investment Advisor to forecast correctly the direction and extent of interest rate movements within a
given time frame. To the extent interest rates remain stable during the period in which a futures contract or option is held by the Acquiring Fund or such rates move in a direction opposite to that anticipated, the Acquiring Fund may realize a loss
on the hedging transaction which is not fully or partially offset by an increase in the value of portfolio securities. As a result, the Acquiring Fund&#146;s total return for such period may be less than if it had not engaged in the hedging
transaction. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because of low initial margin deposits made upon the opening of a futures position, futures
transactions involve substantial leverage. As a result, relatively small movements in the price of the futures contracts can result in substantial unrealized gains or losses. There is also the risk of loss by the Acquiring Fund of margin deposits in
the event of bankruptcy of a broker with whom the Acquiring Fund has an open position in a financial futures contract. Because the Acquiring Fund will engage in the purchase and sale of futures contracts for hedging purposes or to seek to enhance
the Acquiring Fund&#146;s return, any losses incurred in connection therewith should, if the hedging strategy is successful, be offset in whole or in part by increases in the value of securities held by the Acquiring Fund or decreases in the price
of securities the Acquiring Fund intends to acquire. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The amount of risk the Acquiring Fund assumes when it purchases an
option on a futures contract is the premium paid for the option plus related transaction costs. In addition to the correlation risks discussed above, the purchase of an option on a futures contract also entails the risk that changes in the value of
the underlying futures contract will not be fully reflected in the value of the option purchased. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Options Risks</I>. There
are several risks associated with transactions in options on securities and indexes. For example, there are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets,
causing a given transaction not to achieve its objectives. In addition, a liquid secondary market for particular options, whether traded over-the-counter or on a national securities exchange (&#147;Exchange&#148;) may be absent for reasons which
include the following: there may be insufficient trading interest in certain options; restrictions may be imposed by an Exchange on opening transactions or closing transactions or both; trading halts, suspensions or other restrictions may be imposed
with respect to particular classes or series of options or underlying securities; unusual or unforeseen circumstances may interrupt normal operations on an Exchange; the facilities of an Exchange or the OCC may not at all times be adequate to handle
current trading volume; or one or more Exchanges could, for economic or other reasons, decide or be compelled at some future date to discontinue the trading of options (or a particular class or series of options), in which event the secondary market
on that Exchange (or in that class or series of options) would cease to exist, although outstanding options that had been issued by the OCC as a result of trades on that Exchange would continue to be exercisable in accordance with their terms.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Over-the-Counter Trading Risk.</I> The derivative instruments that may be purchased or sold by the Acquiring Fund may
include instruments not traded on an exchange. The risk of nonperformance by the counterparty to an instrument may be greater than, and the ease with which the Acquiring Fund can dispose of or enter into closing transactions with respect to an
instrument may be less than, the risk associated with an exchange traded instrument. In addition, significant disparities may exist between &#147;bid&#148; and &#147;asked&#148; prices for derivative instruments that are not traded on an exchange.
The absence of liquidity may make it difficult or impossible for the Acquiring Fund to sell such instruments promptly at an acceptable price. Derivative instruments not traded on exchanges also are not subject to the same type of government
regulation as exchange traded instruments, and many of the protections afforded to participants in a regulated environment may not be available in connection with the transactions. Because derivatives traded in OTC markets generally are not
guaranteed by an exchange or clearing corporation and generally do not require payment of margin, to the extent that the Acquiring Fund has unrealized gains in such instruments or has deposited collateral with its counterparties the Acquiring Fund
is at risk that its counterparties will become bankrupt or otherwise fail to honor its obligations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Clearing Broker and

applicable regulations.&nbsp;There is a risk that assets deposited by the Acquiring Fund with any swaps or futures clearing broker as margin for futures contracts or cleared swaps may, in certain
circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s clearing broker.&nbsp;In addition, the assets of the Acquiring Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the Acquiring Fund&#146;s clearing broker&#146;s
bankruptcy, as the Acquiring Fund would be limited to recovering only a pro rata share of all available funds segregated on behalf of the clearing broker&#146;s combined domestic customer accounts. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Similarly, the CEA requires a clearing organization approved by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (&#147;CFTC&#148;) as a
derivatives clearing organization to segregate all funds and other property received from a clearing member&#146;s clients in connection with domestic futures and options contracts from any funds held at the clearing organization to support the
clearing member&#146;s proprietary trading.&nbsp;Nevertheless, all customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any futures or options contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the
clearing member&#146;s individual customers.&nbsp;With respect to futures and options contracts, a clearing organization may use assets of a non-defaulting customer held in an omnibus account at the clearing organization to satisfy payment
obligations of a defaulting customer of the clearing member to the clearing organization.&nbsp;As a result, in the event of a default of the clearing broker&#146;s other clients or the clearing broker&#146;s failure to extend its own funds in
connection with any such default, the Acquiring Fund would not be able to recover the full amount of assets deposited by the clearing broker on behalf of the Acquiring Fund with the clearing organization. </FONT></P>

derivatives markets, with particular emphasis on swaps and security-based swaps (collectively &#147;swaps&#148;). This new regulatory framework covers a broad range of swap market participants, including banks, non-banks, credit unions, insurance
companies, broker-dealers and investment advisers. The SEC, other U.S. regulators, and to a lesser extent the CFTC (the &#147;Regulators&#148;) still are in the process of adopting regulations to implement the Derivatives Title, though certain
aspects of the new regulatory structure are substantially complete. Until the Regulators complete their rulemaking efforts, the full extent to which the Derivatives Title and the rules adopted thereunder will impact the Acquiring Fund is unclear. It
is possible that the continued development of this new regulatory structure for swaps may jeopardize certain trades and/or trading strategies that may be employed by the Investment Advisor, or at least make them more costly. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Recently, new regulations have required the mandatory central clearing and mandatory exchange trading of particular types of interest
rate swaps and index credit default swaps (together, &#147;Covered Swaps&#148;).&nbsp;Together, these new regulatory requirements change the Acquiring Fund&#146;s trading of Covered Swaps.&nbsp;With respect to mandatory central clearing, the
Acquiring Fund is now required to clear its Covered Swaps through a clearing broker, which requires, among other things, posting initial margin and variation margin to the Acquiring Fund&#146;s clearing broker in order to enter into and maintain
positions in Covered Swaps.&nbsp;With respect to mandatory exchange trading, the Investment Advisor may be required to become participants of a new type of execution platform called a swap execution facility (&#147;SEF&#148;) or may be required to
access the SEF through an intermediary (such as an executing broker) in order to be able to trade Covered Swaps for the Acquiring Fund.&nbsp;In either scenario, the Investment Advisor and/or the Acquiring Fund may incur additional legal and
compliance costs and transaction fees. Just as with the other regulatory changes imposed as a result of the implementation of the Derivatives Title, the increased costs and fees associated with trading Covered Swaps may jeopardize certain trades
and/or trading strategies that may be employed by the Investment Advisor, or at least make them more costly. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Additionally,
the Regulators plan to finalize proposed regulations that would require swap dealers to collect from the Acquiring Fund initial margin and variation margin for uncleared derivatives transactions and that would impose upon swap dealers new capital
requirements.&nbsp;These requirements, when finalized, may make certain types of trades and/or trading strategies more costly or impermissible. </FONT></P>

Chairs of the Audit Committee, Compliance Committee, Governance and Nominating Committee, and Performance Oversight Committee are paid an additional annual retainer of $35,000, $20,000, $10,000 and $20,000, respectively. Each Audit Committee and

Compensation may include a variety of components and may vary from year to year based on a number of factors. The principal components of compensation include a base salary, a performance-based discretionary bonus, participation in various benefits

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Discretionary incentive compensation is a function of several components: the performance of BlackRock, Inc., the performance of the portfolio manager&#146;s group within BlackRock, the investment
performance, including risk-adjusted returns, of the firm&#146;s assets under management or supervision by that portfolio manager relative to predetermined benchmarks, and the individual&#146;s performance and contribution to the overall performance
of these portfolios and BlackRock. In most cases, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Funds or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. Among other things,
BlackRock&#146;s Chief Investment Officers make a subjective determination with respect to each portfolio manager&#146;s compensation based on the performance of the Funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager relative to the various
benchmarks. Performance of fixed income funds is measured on a pre-tax and/or after-tax basis over various time periods including 1-, 3- and 5- year periods, as applicable. With respect to these portfolio managers, such benchmarks for the Fund and
other accounts are: a combination of market-based indices (e.g., Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s Municipal Bond Index), certain customized indices and certain fund industry peer groups. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

range of investment options, including registered investment companies and collective investment funds managed by the firm. BlackRock, Inc. contributions follow the investment direction set by participants for their own contributions or, absent
participant investment direction, are invested into a target date fund that corresponds to, or is closest to, the year in which the participant attains age 65. The ESPP allows for investment in BlackRock, Inc. common stock at a 5% discount on the
fair market value of the stock on the purchase date. Annual participation in the ESPP is limited to the purchase of 1,000 shares of common stock or a dollar value of $25,000 based on its fair market value on the purchase date. All of the eligible
portfolio managers are eligible to participate in these plans </FONT></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Securities Ownership of Portfolio Managers as of July&nbsp;31, 2014

and dealers to effect the transactions and the negotiation of prices and any brokerage commissions. The securities in which the Funds invest are traded principally in the over-the-counter market. In the over-the-counter market, securities are
generally traded on a &#147;net&#148; basis with dealers acting as principal for their own accounts without a stated commission, although the price of such securities usually includes a markup to the dealer. Securities purchased in underwritten
offerings generally include, in the price, a fixed amount of compensation for the manager(s), underwriter(s) and dealer(s). The Funds may also purchase certain money market instruments directly from an issuer, in which case no commissions or
discounts are paid. Purchases and sales of bonds on a stock exchange are effected through brokers who charge a commission for their services. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Investment Advisor is responsible for effecting securities transactions of the Funds and will do so in a manner deemed fair and reasonable to shareholders of the Funds and not according to any
formula. The Investment Advisor&#146;s primary considerations in selecting the manner of executing securities transactions for the Funds will be prompt execution of orders, the size and breadth of the market for the security, the reliability,
integrity and financial condition and execution capability of the firm, the difficulty in executing the order, and the best net price. There are many instances when, in the judgment of the Investment Advisor, more than one firm can offer comparable
execution services. In selecting among such firms, consideration is given to those firms which supply research and other services in addition to execution services. Consideration may also be given to the sale of shares of the Funds.&nbsp;However, it
is not the policy of BlackRock, absent special circumstances, to pay higher commissions to a firm because it has supplied such research or other services. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Investment Advisor is able to fulfill its obligation to furnish a continuous investment program to the Funds without receiving research or other information from brokers; however, each considers
access to such information to be an important element of financial management. Although such information is considered useful, its value is not determinable, as it must be reviewed and assimilated by the Investment Advisor, and does not reduce the
Investment Advisor&#146;s normal research activities in rendering investment advice under the investment management agreement or the sub-investment advisory agreement. It is possible that the Investment Advisor&#146;s expenses could be materially
increased if it attempted to purchase this type of information or generate it through its own staff. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">One or more of the other
investment companies or accounts which the Investment Advisor manages may own from time to time some of the same investments as the Funds. Investment decisions for the Funds are made independently from those of such other investment companies or
accounts; however, from time to time, the same investment decision may be made for more than one company or account. When two or more companies or accounts seek to purchase or sell the same securities, the securities actually purchased or sold will
be allocated among the companies and accounts on a good faith equitable basis by the Investment Advisor in their discretion in accordance with the accounts&#146; various investment objectives. In some cases, this system may adversely affect the
price or size of the position obtainable for the Funds. In other cases, however, the ability of the Funds to participate in volume transactions may produce better execution for the Funds. It is the opinion of the Funds&#146; Boards that this
advantage, when combined with the other benefits available due to the Investment Advisor&#146;s organization, outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">It is not the Funds&#146; policy to engage in transactions with the objective of seeking profits from short-term trading. However, the
annual portfolio turnover rate of the Funds may be greater than 100%. Because it is difficult to predict accurately portfolio turnover rates, actual turnover may be higher or lower. Higher portfolio turnover results in increased Fund costs,
including brokerage commissions, dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and on the reinvestment in other securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

accounts or funds (including separate accounts and other funds and collective investment vehicles) that have investment objectives similar to those of a Fund and/or that engage in transactions in the same types of securities, currencies, and
instruments as a Fund. One or more Affiliates are also major participants in the global currency, equities, swap and fixed income markets, in each case both on a proprietary basis and for the accounts of customers. As such, one or more Affiliates

may invest, which could have an adverse impact on such Fund&#146;s performance. Such transactions, particularly in respect of most proprietary accounts or customer accounts, will be executed independently of a Fund&#146;s transactions and thus at
prices or rates that may be more or less favorable than those obtained by such Fund. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">When BlackRock and its Affiliates seek
to purchase or sell the same assets for their managed accounts, the assets actually purchased or sold may be allocated among the accounts on a basis determined in their good faith discretion to be equitable. In some cases, this system may adversely
affect the size or price of the assets purchased or sold for a Fund. In addition, transactions in investments by one or more other accounts managed by BlackRock or its Affiliates may have the effect of diluting or otherwise disadvantaging the
values, prices or investment strategies of a Fund, particularly, but not limited to, with respect to small capitalization, emerging market or less liquid strategies. This may occur when investment decisions regarding a Fund are based on research or
other information that is also used to support decisions for other accounts. When BlackRock or its Affiliates implements a portfolio decision or strategy on behalf of another account ahead of, or contemporaneously with, similar decisions or
strategies for a Fund, market impact, liquidity constraints, or other factors could result in such Fund receiving less favorable trading results and the costs of implementing such decisions or strategies could be increased or such Fund could
otherwise be disadvantaged. BlackRock or its Affiliates may, in certain cases, elect to implement internal policies and procedures designed to limit such consequences, which may cause a Fund to be unable to engage in certain activities, including

(and therefore benefit) one or more Affiliates or their other accounts, and the purchase of a security or covering of a short position in a security by such Fund may increase the price of the same security held by (and therefore benefit) one or more

the current sale of that asset in an arm&#146;s-length transaction. The price generally may not be determined based on what a Fund might reasonably expect to receive for selling an asset at a later time or if it holds the asset to maturity. While
fair value determinations will be based upon all available factors that BlackRock deems relevant at the time of the determination, and may be based on analytical values determined by BlackRock using proprietary or third-party valuation models, fair
value represents only a good faith approximation of the value of a security. The fair value of one or more securities may not, in retrospect, be the price at which those assets could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair
values were used in determining a Fund&#146;s NAV. As a result, a Fund&#146;s sale or repurchase of its shares at NAV, at a time when a holding or holdings are valued by BlackRock (pursuant to Board-adopted procedures) at fair value, may have the

sell, or such Fund to sell and another client of BlackRock to purchase, the same security or instrument on the same day. From time to time, the activities of a Fund may be restricted because of regulatory requirements applicable to BlackRock or its
Affiliates and/or BlackRock&#146;s internal policies designed to comply with, limit the applicability of, or otherwise relate to such requirements. A client not advised by BlackRock would not be subject to some of those considerations. There may be
periods when BlackRock may not initiate or recommend certain types of transactions, or may otherwise restrict or limit their advice in certain securities or instruments issued by or related to companies for which an Affiliate is performing
investment banking, market making, advisory or other services or has proprietary positions. For example, when an Affiliate is engaged in an underwriting or other distribution of securities of, or advisory services for, a company, a Fund may be
prohibited from or limited in purchasing or selling securities of that company. Similar situations could arise if personnel of BlackRock or its Affiliates serve as directors of companies the securities of which a Fund wishes to purchase or sell.
However, if permitted by applicable law, a Fund may purchase securities or instruments that are issued by such companies or are the subject of an underwriting, distribution, or advisory assignment by an Affiliate, or in cases in which personnel of
BlackRock or its Affiliates are directors or officers of the issuer. The investment activities of one or more Affiliates for their proprietary accounts and for client accounts may also limit the investment strategies and rights of a Fund. For
example, in regulated industries, in certain emerging or international markets, in corporate and regulatory ownership definitions, and in certain futures and derivative transactions, and to comply with certain provisions of the 1940 Act that
prohibit affiliated transactions, there may be limits on the aggregate amount of investment by Affiliates that may not be exceeded without the grant of a license or other regulatory or corporate consent, or, if exceeded, may cause BlackRock, a Fund
or other client accounts to suffer disadvantages or business restrictions. As a result, BlackRock on behalf of its clients (including a Fund) may limit purchases, sell existing investments, or otherwise restrict or limit the exercise of rights
(including voting rights) when BlackRock, in its sole discretion, deems it appropriate in light of potential regulatory or other restrictions on ownership or other consequences resulting from reaching investment thresholds. </FONT></P>

opportunities equitably among clients (including a Fund), taking into consideration benchmark weight and investment strategy. When ownership in certain securities nears an applicable threshold, BlackRock may limit purchases in such securities to the
issuer&#146;s weighting in the applicable benchmark used by BlackRock to manage a Fund. If client (including Fund) holdings of an issuer exceed an applicable threshold and BlackRock is unable to obtain relief to enable the continued holding of such

This could be viewed as having the potential to provide BlackRock an incentive to keep high positive cash balances for funds with expense caps in order to offset fund custody fees that BlackRock might otherwise reimburse. However, BlackRock&#146;s

affiliated person of such Fund or the Investment Advisor, on the other. In such event, provided that the Investment Advisor&#146;s Equity Investment Policy Oversight Committee, or a sub-committee thereof (the &#147;Committee&#148;) is aware of the
real or potential conflict, if the matter to be voted on represents a material, non-routine matter and if the Committee does not reasonably believe it is able to follow its general voting guidelines (or if the particular proxy matter is not
addressed in the guidelines) and vote impartially, the Committee may retain an independent fiduciary to advise the Committee on how to vote or to cast votes on behalf of the Investment Advisor&#146;s clients. If the Investment Advisor determines not
to retain an independent fiduciary, or does not desire to follow the advice of such independent fiduciary, the Committee shall determine how to vote the proxy after consulting with the Investment Advisor&#146;s Portfolio Management Group and/or the
Investment Advisor&#146;s Legal&nbsp;&amp; Compliance Department and concluding that the vote cast is in its client&#146;s best interest notwithstanding the conflict. A copy of the Funds&#146; Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures is included as

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In 1978 the State Constitution was amended to limit the amount of total State revenues raised from taxes and other sources. State revenues
(excluding federal aid and revenues for payment of principal and interest on general obligation bonds) in any fiscal year are limited to a fixed percentage of State personal income in the prior calendar year or average of the prior three calendar
years, whichever is greater. The percentage is fixed by the amendment to equal the ratio of the 1978-79 fiscal year revenues to total 1977 State personal income. If any fiscal year revenues exceed the revenue limitation by one percent or more, the
entire amount of such excess shall be rebated in the following fiscal year&#146;s personal income tax or business tax. Any excess of less than one percent may be transferred to the State&#146;s Budget Stabilization Fund. </FONT></P>

local government to total State spending may not be reduced below the proportion in effect in the 1978-79 fiscal year. The State originally determined that proportion to be 41.6%. Effective with fiscal year 1992-93, a recalculation was made of the
base year proportion as a consequence of a settlement agreement reached in the County of Oakland v. State of Michigan lawsuit, which was settled in 1991. The recalculated base year proportion is 48.97%. If such spending does not meet the required
level in a given year, an additional appropriation for local governmental units is required by the &#147;following fiscal year,&#148; which means the year following the determination of the shortfall, according to an opinion issued by the
State&#146;s Attorney General. The State Constitution also requires the State to finance any new or expanded activity of local governments mandated by State law. Any expenditures required by this provision would be counted as State spending for
local units of government for purposes of determining compliance with the provision cited above. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><U>Issues Affecting Property Valuations

which property shall be assessed shall not exceed 50% of true cash value. The Michigan Legislature by statute has provided that property shall be assessed at 50% of its true cash value, except as described below. The Michigan Legislature or the
electorate may at some future time reduce the percentage below 50% of true cash value. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On March&nbsp;15, 1994, the electors
of the State approved an amendment to the Michigan Constitution permitting the Legislature to authorize ad valorem taxes on a non-uniform basis. The legislation implementing this constitutional amendment added a new measure of property value known
as &#147;Taxable Value.&#148; Beginning in 1995, taxable property has two valuations&#151;State equalized valuation (&#147;SEV&#148;) and Taxable Value. Property taxes are levied on Taxable Value. Generally, Taxable Value of property is the lesser
of (a)&nbsp;the Taxable Value of the property in the immediately preceding year, adjusted for losses and additions, and increased or reduced by the lesser of the inflation rate or 5%, or (b)&nbsp;the property&#146;s current SEV. Under certain

existing law is 50% of the current true cash value. The Taxable Value of new construction is equal to current SEV. Taxable Value and SEV of existing property are also adjusted annually for additions and losses. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Responsibility for assessing taxable property rests with the local assessing officer of each township and city. Any property owner may

Michigan Constitution also mandates a system of equalization for assessments. Although the assessors for each local unit of government within a county are responsible for actually assessing at 50% of true cash value, adjusted for Taxable Value
purposes, the final SEV and Taxable Value are arrived at through several steps. Assessments are established initially by the municipal assessor. Municipal assessments are then equalized to the 50% levels as determined by the county&#146;s department
of equalization. Thereafter, the State equalizes the various counties in relation to each other. SEV is important, aside from its use in determining Taxable Value for the purpose of levying ad valorem property taxes, because of its role in the
spreading of taxes between overlapping jurisdictions, the distribution of various State aid programs, State revenue sharing and in the calculation of debt limits. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There has been a broad based decline in the market prices of residential real estate in the United States since the beginning of calendar year 2006, resulting in a slowing in appreciation and declines in
residential and other real property assessed valuations. A decline in assessed valuation of any individual residential or non-residential real property will result in a reduction in the individual SEV for that property. If the SEV of an individual
parcel of real property falls below the Taxable Value for that real property for the same year, the reduced SEV will become the Taxable Value for that real property. All such individual reductions, in the aggregate, negatively affect the local unit
of government&#146;s total SEV and total Taxable Value. Each mill, then, that the municipality levies against the reduced Taxable Value will produce less property tax receipts than the same mill levied the prior year. Municipalities throughout
Michigan have had to make changes to current and future fiscal year budgets to adjust municipal expenditures as a result of reduced property tax receipts resulting from the downturn in the real estate market. As property values have recovered, the
Michigan Constitution caps the rate of increase in the Taxable Value for each parcel. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under the Michigan Constitution, the
total amount of general ad valorem taxes imposed on taxable property in any year cannot exceed certain millage limitations specified by the Constitution, statute or charter. The Michigan Constitution was amended by popular vote in November 1978
(effective December&nbsp;23, 1978 and commonly called the &#147;Headlee Amendment&#148;) to prohibit local units of government from levying any tax not authorized by law or charter, or from increasing the rate of an existing tax above the rate
authorized by law or charter, at the time the amendments were ratified, without the approval of a majority of the electors of the local unit voting on the question. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Local units of government and local authorities are authorized to issue bonds and other evidences of indebtedness in a variety of situations without the approval of electors, but their ability to levy
taxes for the payment of such obligations is subject to the foregoing limitations unless the obligations were authorized before December&nbsp;23, 1978 or approved by the electors. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The 1978 amendments to the State Constitution also contain millage reduction provisions. Under such provisions, should the value of
taxable property (exclusive of new construction and improvements) increase at a percentage greater than the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index, the maximum authorized tax rate would be reduced by a factor which would result in the same
maximum potential tax revenues to the local taxing unit as if the valuation of taxable property (less new construction and improvements) had grown only at the Consumer Price Index rate instead of at the higher actual growth rate. Thus, if Taxable
Values rise faster than consumer prices, the maximum authorized tax rate would be reduced accordingly. </FONT></P>

sales tax from 4% to 6% as part of a complex plan to restructure the source of funding of public education (K-12) in order to reduce reliance on local property taxes for school operating purposes and to reduce the per pupil finance resource
disparities among school districts. The State school aid package passed by the legislature as part of the school finance reform legislation instituted a per pupil foundation allowance. The foundation allowance is funded by locally raised property
taxes plus State aid. All local school boards levy, with voter approval, up to the lesser of 18 mills or the number of mills levied in 1993 for school operating purposes on non-homestead property and non-qualified agricultural property. The revenues
for the State&#146;s contribution to the foundation allowance are derived from a mix of taxing sources, including but not limited to, a statewide property tax of 6 mills on all taxable property, a State sales and use tax, a real estate transfer tax

Trustees/Directors (&#147;Directors&#148;) of the BlackRock Closed-End Funds (the &#147;Funds&#148;) have the responsibility for voting proxies relating to portfolio securities of the Funds, and have determined that it is in the best interests of
the Funds and their shareholders to delegate that responsibility to BlackRock Advisors, LLC and its affiliated U.S. registered investment advisers (&#147;BlackRock&#148;), the investment adviser to the Funds, as part of BlackRock&#146;s authority to
manage, acquire and dispose of account assets. The Directors hereby direct BlackRock to vote such proxies in accordance with this Policy, and any proxy voting guidelines that the Adviser determines are appropriate and in the best interests of the
Funds&#146; shareholders and which are consistent with the principles outlined in this Policy. Individual series of the Funds may be specifically excluded from this Policy by the Directors by virtue of the adoption of alternative proxy voting policy
for such series. The Directors have authorized BlackRock to utilize unaffiliated third-parties as its agents to vote portfolio proxies in accordance with this Policy and to maintain records of such portfolio proxy voting. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 requires, among other things, that an investment adviser that exercises voting
authority over clients&#146; proxy voting adopt policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the adviser votes proxies in the best interests of clients, discloses to its clients information about those policies and procedures and also
discloses to clients how they may obtain information on how the adviser has voted their proxies. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">BlackRock has adopted
guidelines and procedures that are consistent with the principles of this Policy. BlackRock&#146;s corporate governance committee structure (the &#147;Committee&#148;), oversees the proxy voting function on behalf of BlackRock and its clients,
including the Funds. The Committee is comprised of senior members of BlackRock&#146;s Portfolio Management and Administration Groups and is advised by BlackRock&#146;s Legal and Compliance Department. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">BlackRock votes (or refrains from voting) proxies for each Fund in a manner that BlackRock, in the exercise of its independent business
judgment, concludes is in the best economic interests of such Fund. In some cases, BlackRock may determine that it is in the best economic interests of a Fund to refrain from exercising the Fund&#146;s proxy voting rights (such as, for example,
proxies on certain non-U.S. securities that might impose costly or time-consuming in-person voting requirements). With regard to the relationship between securities lending and proxy voting, BlackRock&#146;s approach is also driven by our
clients&#146; economic interests. The evaluation of the economic desirability of recalling loans involves balancing the revenue producing value of loans against the likely economic value of casting votes. Based on our evaluation of this
relationship, BlackRock believes that the likely economic value of casting a vote generally is less than the securities lending income, either because the votes will not have significant economic consequences or because the outcome of the vote would
not be affected by BlackRock recalling loaned securities in order to ensure they are voted. Periodically, BlackRock analyzes the process and benefits of voting proxies for securities on loan, and will consider whether any modification of its proxy
voting policies or procedures are necessary in light of any regulatory changes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">BlackRock will normally vote on specific
proxy issues in accordance with BlackRock&#146;s proxy voting guidelines; provided, however, that in the case of securities held by the Funds of closed-end funds that have or propose to adopt classified board, BlackRock will typically (a)&nbsp;vote
in favor of classification and against proposals to eliminate classification, and (b)&nbsp;not vote against directors as a result of their adoption of a classified board structure. BlackRock&#146;s proxy voting guidelines provide detailed guidance
as to how to vote proxies on certain important or commonly raised issues. BlackRock may, in the exercise of its business judgment, conclude that the proxy voting guidelines do not cover the specific matter upon which a proxy vote is requested, or
that an exception to the proxy voting guidelines would be in the best economic interests of a Fund. BlackRock votes (or refrains from voting) proxies without regard to the relationship of the issuer of the proxy (or any shareholder of

and oversee management. The Funds therefore believe that the foundation of good corporate governance is the election of responsible, qualified, independent corporate directors who are likely to diligently represent the interests of shareholders and
oversee management of the corporation in a manner that will seek to maximize shareholder value over time. In individual cases, consideration may be given to a director nominee&#146;s history of representing shareholder interests as a director of the

<TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"><B>Please explain to us why (i)&nbsp;in Proposal 1(A) VRDP Holders of the Target Fund are voting together with the Target Fund common shareholders as a single class to approve the Reorganization, in addition to voting
as a separate class in Proposal 1(B), and (ii)&nbsp;in Proposal 2 VRDP Holders of the Acquiring Fund are voting together with the Acquiring Fund common shareholders as a single class to approve the issuance of additional Acquiring Fund Common Shares
in the Reorganization. Please also explain whether VRDP Holders vote on a share-for-share basis or based on the value of such shares, and why common shareholders of the Funds do not get a separate class vote on Reorganization-related proposals.
</B></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The voting requirements reflected in the Preliminary N-14 result from Section&nbsp;18(i) of the Investment Company Act
of 1940 (the &#147;<U>1940 Act</U>&#148;). Section&nbsp;18(i) requires that every share of stock issued by a registered investment company be voting stock and have equal voting rights with every other outstanding voting stock, except as provided in
section 18(a) of the 1940 Act or as otherwise required by law. As a result, Holders of VRDP Shares vote together with common shareholders, except as provided in section 18(a) of the 1940 Act or as otherwise required by law, and that is why Holders
of VRDP Shares are voting together with common shareholders as a single class in Proposal 1(A) and Proposal 2. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; margin-right:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;18(a)(2)(D) of the 1940 Act requires a separate class vote of senior securities that are stock with respect to
any plan of reorganization adversely affecting such securities. In order to deny preferred shareholders a separate class vote under this provision, the Fund would be required to conclude that preferred shareholders are not adversely affected. There
is very little guidance on the topic of what constitutes an adverse effect in this context and, out of an abundance of caution, industry practice is generally to provide preferred shareholders the vote to which they are entitled under section
18(a)(2)(D) of the 1940 Act. As a result, the Holders of VRDP Shares of each Fund are being asked to vote on the Reorganization as a separate class in Proposal 1(B) and Proposal 1(C). Further, in Proposal 2, Holders of VRDP Shares are not voting as
a single class because approval of the issuance of additional common shares is not an item that entitles the Holders of VRDP Shares to a separate class vote under the 1940 Act or the governing documents establishing the Acquiring Fund&#146;s VRDP
Shares. </P>
