April&nbsp;25, 2024, BlackRock MuniHoldings New York Quality Fund, Inc. (the &#147;Fund&#148;) filed a definitive proxy statement (the &#147;Proxy Statement&#148;) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the&nbsp;&#147;SEC&#148;), which was
distributed in connection with the annual meeting of shareholders of the Fund to be held on Tuesday, June&nbsp;18, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) (the &#147;Meeting&#148;). The Fund is filing this amendment (this&nbsp;&#147;Amendment&#148;) to

December&nbsp;5, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted judgment in favor of a plaintiff&#146;s claim for rescission of resolutions by sixteen <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">closed-end</FONT> funds that are
Maryland corporations and statutory trusts, including certain BlackRock-sponsored funds domiciled in Maryland, that &#147;opted in&#148; to elect to be subject to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. The district court declared that the
funds&#146; elections violate Section&nbsp;18(i) of the 1940 Act. The funds have appealed the district court&#146;s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In light of the district court&#146;s decision, the Maryland Control
Share Acquisition Act will not apply to the Fund&#146;s 2024 and 2025 annual shareholder meetings. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Important Information </I></B></P>
