A joint annual meeting of the BlackRock Closed-End Funds listed in Appendix A to the enclosed joint proxy statement (each, a “Fund”) will be held at the offices of BlackRock Advisors, LLC, Park Avenue Plaza, 55 East 52nd Street, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10055, on Thursday, September 2, 2010, at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time), to consider and vote on the proposal discussed in the enclosed joint proxy statement.

The purpose of the meeting is to seek shareholder approval of the 10 nominees named in the enclosed joint proxy statement to the Board of Directors or Trustees (each, a “Board,” the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of each Fund. Each Board has unanimously approved the 10 proposed nominees named in the enclosed joint proxy statement on behalf of its Fund (the “Board Nominees”), subject to approval by the Fund’s shareholders. The Boards have reviewed the qualifications and backgrounds of the Board Nominees and believe that they are experienced in overseeing investment companies and are familiar with the Funds and their investment advisers and that their election is in your best interests.

The Board Members responsible for your Fund recommend that you vote “FOR” the Board Nominees for your Fund. In connection with your vote, we urge you to read the full text of the enclosed joint proxy statement.

Your vote is important. Even if you plan to attend the meeting, please promptly follow the enclosed instructions to submit voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet. Alternatively, you may submit voting instructions by signing and dating each proxy card you receive, and if received by mail, returning it in the accompanying postage-paid return envelope.

You have received this joint proxy statement because you were a shareholder of record of at least one of the Funds listed in Appendix A on July 6, 2010. Certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds not listed in Appendix A will also hold their annual meetings at the place and on the date stated above. If you were also a shareholder of record on July 6, 2010 of one or more of those other funds, you will receive a separate proxy statement and proxy card relating to those funds. Please be certain to sign, date and return each proxy card you receive.

If you have any questions about the proposal to be voted on, please call The Altman Group, Inc., the firm assisting us in the solicitation of proxies, at 1-866-796-7185.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
FOR FUND SHAREHOLDERS

While we encourage you to read the full text of the enclosed joint proxy statement, for your convenience we have provided a brief overview of the matters to be voted on.

Questions and Answers

Q.	Why am I receiving the joint proxy statement?

A.	Each Fund is required to hold an annual meeting of shareholders for the election of Board Members. This joint proxy statement describes a proposal to approve the nominees to the Board of the Fund(s) in which you own shares and provides you with other information relating to the meeting. The enclosed proxy card(s) indicate the Fund(s) in which you own shares. The table beginning on page 3 of the joint proxy statement identifies the Board Nominees for each Fund.

Q.	How do the Boards of the Funds recommend that I vote?

A.	The Boards have reviewed the qualifications and backgrounds of the Board Nominees and believe that they are experienced in overseeing investment companies and are familiar with the Funds and their investment advisers. The Boards have approved the Board Nominees named in the joint proxy statement, believe their election is in your best interests and recommend that you vote “FOR” each Board Nominee.

Q.	How do I vote my shares?

A.	You can provide voting instructions by telephone by calling the toll-free number on the proxy card(s) or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or by computer by going to the Internet address provided on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy card(s) and following the instructions. Alternatively, if you received your proxy card(s) by mail, you can vote your shares by signing and dating the proxy card(s) and mailing it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. You may also attend the meeting and vote by ballot in person; however, even if you intend to do so, we encourage you to provide voting instructions by one of the methods discussed above.


Q.	Will my vote make a difference?

A.	Your vote is very important and can make a difference in the governance and management of the Funds, no matter how many shares you own. Your vote can help ensure that the Board Nominees will be elected. We encourage all shareholders to participate in the governance of their Funds.

Q.	Are the Funds paying for the cost of the joint proxy statement?

A.	The costs associated with the joint proxy statement, including the mailing and the proxy solicitation costs, will be borne by the Funds. Additional out-of-pocket costs, such as legal expenses and auditor fees, incurred in connection with the preparation of the joint proxy statement, also will be borne by the Funds. Costs that are borne by the Funds collectively will be allocated among the Funds on the basis of a combination of their respective net assets and number of shareholder accounts, except when direct costs can reasonably be attributed to one or more specific Funds. The Funds and BlackRock, Inc. have retained The Altman Group, Inc. (“Altman”), 60 East 42nd Street, Suite 916, New York, NY 10165, a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the printing and distribution of proxy materials and the solicitation and tabulation of proxies. In addition, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717, will assist the Funds in the distribution of proxy materials. It is anticipated that Altman and Broadridge will be paid approximately $45,000 and $725,000, respectively, for such services (including reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses).


Q.	Whom do I call if I have questions?

A.	If you need more information, or have any questions about voting, please call Altman, the Funds’ proxy solicitor, at 1-866-796-7185.

Please vote now . Your vote is important.

To avoid the wasteful and unnecessary expense of further solicitation, we urge you to indicate your voting instructions on the proxy card(s), and if received by mail, date and sign it and return it promptly in the postage-paid envelope provided, or record your voting instructions by telephone or via the Internet, no matter how large or small your holdings may be. If your shares are held through a broker, you must provide voting instructions to your broker about how to vote your shares in order for your broker to vote your shares as you instruct at the meeting.

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

SEPTEMBER 2, 2010

JOINT PROXY STATEMENT

This joint proxy statement (this “Proxy Statement”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors or Trustees (each, a “Board,” the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of each BlackRock Closed-End Fund listed in Appendix A of this Proxy Statement (each, a “Fund”). The proxies will be voted at the joint annual meeting of shareholders of the Funds and at any and all adjournments, postponements or delays thereof. The meeting will be held at the offices of BlackRock Advisors, LLC, Park Avenue Plaza, 55 East 52nd Street, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10055, on Thursday, September 2, 2010, at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time). The meeting will be held for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice.

The Boards of the Funds have determined that the use of this Proxy Statement for the meeting is in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by the shareholders of each Fund. Distribution to shareholders of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials, or a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, will commence on or about July 23, 2010.

Each Fund listed in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement is organized as a Massachusetts business trust (each, a “Massachusetts Trust”) or a Maryland corporation (each, a “Maryland Corporation”). The Massachusetts Trusts and Maryland Corporations are closed-end investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). A list identifying each Massachusetts Trust and Maryland Corporation is set forth in Appendix A .

Shareholders of record of a Fund as of the close of business on July 6, 2010 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at that Fund’s meeting. Shareholders of the Funds are entitled to one vote for each share held, with no shares having cumulative voting rights. Holders of the auction market preferred stock, auction market preferred shares or auction preferred shares (collectively, “AMPS”) of each of the Funds identified in Appendix A as having AMPS outstanding (collectively, the “AMPS Funds”) will have equal voting rights with the shares of common stock or common shares of beneficial interest (collectively, the “common shares”) of the AMPS Funds and, except as otherwise noted in this Proxy Statement, will vote together with the holders of common shares as a single class on each nominee to the Board of the AMPS Fund in which they own AMPS, except that they are entitled to vote separately as a class to elect two Board Members for each AMPS Fund in which they own AMPS. The quorum and voting requirements for each Fund are described in the section below entitled “Vote Required and Manner of Voting Proxies.”

The number of shares outstanding of each Fund as of the close of business on the Record Date and the net assets of each Fund on the Record Date are shown in Appendix A . Except as set forth in Appendix H , to the knowledge of each Fund, as of June 30, 2010, no person was the beneficial owner of five percent or more of a class of a Fund’s outstanding shares.

The Fund in which you owned shares on the Record Date is named on the proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. If you owned shares in more than one Fund on the Record Date, you may receive more than one proxy card. Even if you plan to attend the meeting, please sign, date and return EACH proxy card you receive or, if you provide voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet, please vote on the proposal affecting EACH Fund you own. If you vote by telephone or over the Internet, you will be asked to enter a unique code that has been assigned to you, which is printed on your proxy card(s) or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as applicable. This code is designed to confirm your identity, provide access into the voting site and confirm that your voting instructions are properly recorded.

All properly executed proxies received prior to the meeting will be voted at the meeting. On any matter coming before the meeting as to which a shareholder has specified a choice on that shareholder’s proxy, the shares will be voted accordingly. If a proxy card is properly executed and

returned and no choice is specified with respect to the proposal, the shares will be voted “FOR” the proposal. Shareholders who execute proxies or provide voting instructions by telephone or the Internet may revoke them with respect to the proposal at any time before a vote is taken on the proposal by filing with the applicable Fund a written notice of revocation (addressed to the Secretary of the Fund at the principal executive offices of the Fund at the address above), by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the meeting and voting in person by ballot, in all cases prior to the exercise of the authority granted in the proxy card. Merely attending the meeting, however, will not revoke any previously executed proxy. If you hold shares through a bank or other intermediary, please consult your bank or intermediary regarding your ability to revoke voting instructions after such instructions have been provided.

Certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds not listed in Appendix A will also hold their annual meetings at the place and date stated above. If you were also a shareholder of record on the Record Date of one or more of those other funds, you will receive a separate proxy statement and proxy card relating to those funds.

Photographic identification and proof of ownership of Fund shares will be required for admission to the meeting. For directions to the meeting, please contact The Altman Group, Inc., the firm assisting us in the solicitation of proxies, at 1-866-796-7185.

Each Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of its annual report and most recent semi-annual report succeeding the annual report, if any, to a shareholder upon request. Such requests should be directed to the applicable Fund at Park Avenue Plaza, 55 East 52nd Street, New York, NY 10055, or by calling toll free at 1-800-441-7762. Copies of annual and semi-annual reports of each Fund are also available on the EDGAR Database on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.

BlackRock will update performance data for the Funds, as well as certain other data for Funds that are municipal funds, on a monthly basis on its website in the “Closed-End Funds” section of www.blackrock.com. Investors and others are advised to periodically check the website for updated performance information and the release of other material information about the BlackRock Closed-End Funds.

Please note that only one annual or semi-annual report or Proxy Statement or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials may be delivered to two or more shareholders of a Fund who share an address, unless the Fund has received instructions to the contrary. To request a separate copy of an annual report or semi-annual report or this Proxy Statement or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or for instructions as to how to request a separate copy of these documents or as to how to request a single copy if multiple copies of these documents are received, shareholders should contact the applicable Fund at the address and phone number set forth above.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT

To avoid the wasteful and unnecessary expense of further solicitation, we urge you to indicate voting instructions on the enclosed proxy card(s), and if received by mail, date and sign it and return it promptly in the postage-paid envelope provided, or record your voting instructions by telephone or via the Internet, no matter how large or small your holdings may be. If you submit a properly executed proxy card but do not indicate how you wish your shares to be voted, your shares will be voted “FOR” the proposal. If your shares are held through a broker, you must provide voting instructions to your broker about how to vote your shares in order for your broker to vote your shares as you instruct at the meeting.

(1)	The 10 Board Member nominees are: Richard E. Cavanagh, Richard S. Davis, Frank J. Fabozzi, Kathleen F. Feldstein, James T. Flynn, Henry Gabbay, Jerrold B. Harris, R. Glenn Hubbard, W. Carl Kester and Karen P. Robards. Except as noted herein, these nominees are voted upon by the common and preferred shareholders of each respective Fund voting together as a single class, except for those Funds for which Messrs. Fabozzi and Kester are AMPS Nominees, in which case Messrs. Fabozzi and Kester are voted upon by owners of AMPS voting as a separate class. Please see the description below under “PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBER NOMINEES” for a more detailed discussion regarding the AMPS Nominees.

(2)	The AMPS Nominees are Frank J. Fabozzi and W. Carl Kester. These nominees are voted upon by the owners of AMPS voting as a separate class. Please see the description below under “PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBER NOMINEES” for a more detailed discussion regarding the AMPS Nominees.

PROPOSAL 1—ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBER NOMINEES

The purpose of Proposal 1 is to elect Board Member nominees for each Fund.

Nominees for each Fund. The Board of each Fund consists of 10 Board Members, eight of whom are not “interested persons” of the Funds (as defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Board Members”). Prior to December 31, 2009, the Board of each Fund had 12 Board Members. However, on December 31, 2009, Kent Dixon retired from the Board of each Fund pursuant to each Fund’s mandatory retirement policy, which requires Board Members to retire on December 31 in the year in which they turn 72. Following the retirement of Mr. Dixon, the Board of each Fund determined to reduce the number of Board Members from 12 to 11. On March 31, 2010, G. Nicholas Beckwith, III resigned from the Board of each Fund. Following Mr. Beckwith’s resignation, the Board of each Fund determined to reduce the number of Board Members from 11 to 10. As such, no persons have been nominated to replace Messrs. Beckwith or Dixon. Shareholders of each Fund will consider electing all 10 Board Member nominees at the meeting. Each Board Member elected at the meeting will serve until the later of the date of the 2011 annual meeting or until his or her successor is elected and qualifies, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal.

With respect to the AMPS Funds, the owners of AMPS are entitled to vote as a separate class to elect two of the Board Members (the “AMPS Nominees”) for the AMPS Fund in which they own AMPS. This means that owners of common shares are not entitled to vote in connection with the election of the AMPS Nominees. However, except as described below for MVF, the owners of common shares and the owners of AMPS, voting together as a single class, are entitled to elect the remainder of the Board Member nominees. For MVF, the remainder of the Board Nominees are elected exclusively by the common shareholders, voting as a separate class. Frank J. Fabozzi and W. Carl Kester are standing for election this year as the AMPS Nominees.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the election of Richard E. Cavanagh, Richard S. Davis, Frank J. Fabozzi, Kathleen F. Feldstein, James T. Flynn, Henry Gabbay, Jerrold B. Harris, R. Glenn Hubbard, W. Carl Kester and Karen P. Robards (the “Board Nominees”). To vote for the Board Nominees, please vote by telephone or over the Internet, as described in the proxy card, or date and sign the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. Each of the Board Nominees has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and to serve as a Board Member if elected.

Please refer to the following table which identifies the Board Nominees, including any AMPS Nominees, for election to the Board of each Fund.

Biographical Information. The following table sets forth certain biographical information about the Board Nominees for all of the Funds. Each Board Nominee was nominated by the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of each respective Fund. Richard E. Cavanagh was selected to serve as the Chair and Karen P. Robards was selected to serve as the Vice Chair of each Board. All of the closed-end registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC, including the Funds, are referred to collectively as the “Closed-End Complex.”

Following the combination of Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P. (“MLIM”) and BlackRock in September 2006, the various legacy MLIM and legacy BlackRock fund boards were realigned and consolidated into three new fund boards in 2007. As a result, although the chart shows certain Board Members as joining the Boards in 2007, each Board Member first became a member of the Board of Directors/Trustees of other legacy MLIM or legacy BlackRock funds as follows: Richard E. Cavanagh since 1994; Richard S. Davis since 2007; Frank J. Fabozzi since 1988; Kathleen F. Feldstein since 2005; James T. Flynn since 1996; Henry Gabbay since 2007;

	Jerrold B. Harris since 1999; R. Glenn Hubbard since 2004; W. Carl Kester since 1998; and Karen P. Robards since 1998. Board Members serve until their resignation, removal or death, or until December 31 of the year in which they turn 72.

**	For purposes of this chart, “RICs” refers to registered investment companies and “Portfolios” refers to the investment programs of the Funds. The Closed-End Complex is comprised of 99 RICs. Some of the RICs have the same investment program because they invest through a master-feeder structure, which results in the smaller number of Portfolios than RICs.

***	Directorships disclosed under this column do not include directorships disclosed under the column “Principal Occupation(s) During Past Five Years.”

†	Messrs. Davis and Gabbay are “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Funds by virtue of their current or former positions with BlackRock Advisors, LLC, BlackRock Capital Management, Inc. or BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (collectively, “BlackRock Advisors”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., and their ownership of BlackRock, Inc. and The PNC Financial Service Group, Inc. securities.

The Independent Board Members have adopted a statement of policy that describes the experiences, qualifications, skills and attributes that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Board Member candidates (the “Statement of Policy”). The Boards believe that each Independent Board Member satisfied, at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Board Member, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. Furthermore, in determining that a particular Board Member was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Board Member, the Boards have considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Boards believe that, collectively, the Board Members have balanced and diverse experiences, skills, attributes and qualifications, which allow the Boards to operate effectively in governing the Funds and protecting the interests of shareholders. Among the attributes common to all Board Members is their ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively with the Funds’ investment adviser, sub-advisers, other service providers, counsel and independent auditors, and to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties as Board Members. Each Board Member’s ability to perform his or her duties effectively is evidenced by his or her educational background or professional training; business, consulting, public service or academic positions; experience from service as a board member of the Funds or the other funds in the BlackRock fund complexes (and any predecessor funds), other investment funds, public companies, or not-for-profit entities or other organizations; ongoing commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout the years; or other relevant life experiences.

Compensation. Information relating to compensation paid to the Independent Board Members and Dr. Gabbay for each Fund’s most recent fiscal year is set forth in Appendix B .

Equity Securities Owned by Board Members. Information relating to the amount of equity securities owned by Board Members in the Funds that they are nominated to oversee, as well as certain other funds in the Closed-End Complex, as of May 31, 2010 is set forth in Appendix C.

Attendance of Board Members at Annual Shareholders’ Meetings. It is the policy of all the Funds to encourage Board Members to attend the annual shareholders’ meeting. All of the Board Members of each Fund attended last year’s annual shareholders’ meeting.

Board Meetings. During the calendar year 2009, the Board of each Fund met six times. Information relating to the number of times that the Boards met during each Fund’s most recent fiscal year is set forth in Appendix D . No incumbent Board Member attended less than 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of each Board and of each committee of each Board on which the Board Member served during each Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year.

Standing and Other Operating Committees of the Boards. Information relating to the various standing and other operating committees of the Boards is set forth in Appendix E .

The Boards of the AMPS Funds established an ad hoc Committee on AMPS (the “AMPS Committee”) in March 2008. The current members of the AMPS Committee are: Richard E. Cavanagh (Chair), Karen P. Robards, Frank J. Fabozzi, Henry Gabbay and W. Carl Kester. Since February 2008, most auction rate preferred shares, including the AMPS, have been unable to hold successful auctions and AMPS holders have faced reduced liquidity. The AMPS Committee was formed for the purpose of monitoring issues arising from recent market turmoil and overseeing efforts to address the effects of reduced AMPS liquidity on each Fund and to evaluate the liquidity considerations of the AMPS holders, each in a manner consistent with each Fund’s and its shareholders’ best interests and investment strategies. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the AMPS Committee has met eight times in the last calendar year and 35 times since its formation. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the total amount of

redemptions of auction market preferred shares across the Closed-End Complex, including the AMPS Funds, equaled $3.190 billion, which represents approximately 32.5% of all auction market preferred shares outstanding for the Closed-End Complex as of February 2008. The AMPS Funds are currently exploring alternative forms of leverage in order to provide liquidity to holders of AMPS, including, among other things, development of a new form of preferred stock that includes a put feature, which would make the securities eligible for purchase by money market funds. The AMPS Funds are also exploring the use of additional alternative forms of leverage such as tender option bonds, repurchase agreements and credit facilities.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Funds’ Board Members, executive officers, persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of a Fund’s equity securities, BlackRock Advisors and certain officers of BlackRock Advisors, to file reports on holdings of, and transactions in, Fund shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and to furnish the Funds with copies of all such reports. Based solely on a review of copies of such reports furnished to the relevant Funds and representations from these reporting persons, each Fund believes that its Board Members, executive officers, ten percent holders, BlackRock Advisors and certain officers of BlackRock Advisors met all applicable SEC filing requirements except for late Forms 4 relating to the Fund’s most recently concluded fiscal year, as listed in Appendix I .

Executive Officers of the Funds. Information about the executive officers of each Fund, including their year of birth and their principal occupations during the past five years, is set forth in Appendix F .

Indemnification of Board Members and Officers. The governing documents of each Fund generally provide that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Fund will indemnify its Board Members and officers against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices with the Fund unless, as to liability to the Fund or its investors, it is finally adjudicated that they engaged in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in their offices. In addition, the Fund will not indemnify Board Members with respect to any matter as to which Board Members did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the Fund or, in the case of any criminal proceeding, as to which Board Members had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. Indemnification provisions contained in a Fund’s governing documents are subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law.

The Funds in the Closed-End Complex have also entered into a separate indemnification agreement with the Board Members of each Board (the “Indemnification Agreement”). The Indemnification Agreement (i) extends the indemnification provisions contained in a Fund’s governing documents to Board Members who leave that Fund’s Board and serve on an advisory board of a different fund in the Closed-End Complex; (ii) sets in place the terms of the indemnification provisions of a Fund’s governing documents once a Board Member retires from a Board; and (iii) in the case of Board Members who left the Board of a Fund in connection with or prior to the board consolidation that occurred in 2007 as a result of the merger of BlackRock and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.’s investment management business, clarifies that such Fund continues to indemnify the Board Member for claims arising out of his or her past service to that Fund.

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of each Board Nominee to the Board of your Fund(s).

VOTE REQUIRED AND MANNER OF VOTING PROXIES

A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each meeting. For MFL, MFT, MHE, MPA and MYF, the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter at a meeting present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum for purposes of conducting business on such matter. For the remainder of the Funds, the holders of ¹ / 3 of the shares entitled to vote on any matter at a meeting present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum for purposes of conducting business on such matter.

Except for the Funds listed in the next sentence, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast with respect to a Board Nominee at a meeting at which a quorum is present and entitled to vote on a Board Nominee is necessary to elect each of the respective Board Nominees under Proposal 1 for each respective Fund. For MFL, MFT, MHE, MPA and MYF, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at a meeting at which a quorum is present is necessary to elect each of the respective Board Nominees under Proposal 1 for each respective Fund.

Votes cast by proxy or in person at each meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that meeting. The inspectors of election, who may be employees of a Fund, will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the meeting. The inspectors of election will treat abstentions and “broker non-votes” as present for purposes of determining a quorum. Broker non-votes occur when shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name,” as to which proxies have been returned but (a) voting instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (b) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power or elects not to exercise discretion on a particular matter. Shares of AMPS of any Fund held in “street name” may be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum of that Fund if no instructions are received one business day before the applicable meeting or, if adjourned, one business day before the day to which the meeting is adjourned.

If you hold your shares directly (not through a broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution) and if you return a signed and dated proxy card that does not specify how you wish to vote on a proposal, your shares will be voted “FOR” the Board Nominees in Proposal 1.

Broker-dealer firms holding shares of a Fund in “street name” for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on Proposal 1 before the meeting. The Funds understand that, under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, such broker-dealer firms may for certain “routine” matters, without instructions from their customers and clients, grant discretionary authority to the proxies designated by the Board to vote if no instructions have been received prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm’s request for voting instructions. Proposal 1 is a “routine” matter and a properly executed proxy card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of Fund shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner’s shares should be voted on Proposal 1 may be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the proposal. Beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions or who do not return a proxy card may have their shares voted by broker-dealer firms in favor of Proposal 1.

If you hold shares of a Fund through a bank or other financial institution or intermediary (called a service agent) that has entered into a service agreement with the Fund or a distributor of the Fund, the service agent may be the record holder of your shares. At the meeting, a service agent will vote shares for which it receives instructions from its customers in accordance with those instructions. A properly executed proxy card or other authorization by a shareholder that does not specify how the shareholder’s shares should be voted on a proposal may be deemed to authorize a service provider to vote such shares in favor of the proposal. Depending on its policies, applicable law or contractual or other restrictions, a service agent may be permitted to vote shares with respect to which it has not received specific voting instructions from its customers. In those cases, the service agent may, but is not required to, vote such shares in the same proportion as those shares for which the service agent has received voting instructions. This practice is commonly referred to as “echo voting.”

If you beneficially own shares that are held in “street name” through a broker-dealer or that are held of record by a service agent, and if you do not give specific voting instructions for your shares, they may not be voted at all or, as described above, they may be voted in a manner that you may not intend. Therefore, you are strongly encouraged to give your broker-dealer or service agent specific instructions as to how you want your shares to be voted.

Approval of a Board Nominee by shareholders of a Fund will occur only if a sufficient number of votes are cast “FOR” the Board Nominee at the Fund’s meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast. For the Funds that require a plurality of votes to elect each of the Board Nominees, abstentions and broker non-votes will not have an effect on the outcome of Proposal 1. For the Funds that require a majority of votes present to elect each of the Board Nominees, abstentions will be counted as represented at the meeting and will have the same effect as a vote against Proposal 1 and broker non-votes will be treated as shares not represented at the meeting and will not have an effect on the outcome of Proposal 1.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board Members, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, of each Fund have selected Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds. D&T, in accordance with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (ISB No. 1), has confirmed to each applicable Audit Committee that it is an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to each Fund.

A representative of D&T is expected to be present at the meeting.

Each Audit Committee has discussed with D&T its independence with respect to the Fund and certain matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standard No. 61, as currently modified or supplemented. Each Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm is compatible with maintaining the independence of that registered public accounting firm. Each Audit Committee also reviews and discusses the Fund’s financial statements with Fund management and the independent registered public accounting firm. If any material concerns arise during the course of the audit and the preparation of the audited financial statements mailed to shareholders and included in the Fund’s Annual Report to Shareholders, the Audit Committee would be notified by Fund management or the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committees received no such notifications for any Fund during its most recently completed fiscal year. Following each Audit Committee’s review and discussion of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, pursuant to authority delegated by its respective Board, each Audit Committee approved the respective Fund’s audited financial statements for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year (each Fund’s fiscal year end is set forth in Appendix G) for which audited financial statements are available be included in each Fund’s Annual Report to Shareholders.

Appendix G sets forth for each Fund the fees billed by that Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the two most recent fiscal years for all audit and non-audit services provided directly to the Fund. The fee information in Appendix G is presented under the following captions:

(a) Audit Fees—fees related to the audit and review of the financial statements included in annual reports and registration statements, and other services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, including out-of-pocket expenses.

(b) Audit-Related Fees—fees related to assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements, but not reported under “Audit Fees,” including accounting consultations, agreed-upon procedure reports, attestation reports, comfort letters, out-of-pocket expenses and internal control reviews not required by regulators.

(c) Tax Fees—fees associated with tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, including services relating to the filing or amendment of federal, state or local income tax returns, regulated investment company qualification reviews, tax distribution and analysis reviews and miscellaneous tax advice.

(d) All Other Fees—fees for products and services provided to the Fund other than those reported under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees.”

Each Audit Committee is required to approve all audit engagement fees and terms for its Fund. Each Audit Committee also is required to consider and act upon (i) the provision by the Fund’s independent accountant of any non-audit services to the Fund, and (ii) the provision by the Fund’s independent accountant of non-audit services to BlackRock and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with BlackRock that provide ongoing services to the Fund (“Affiliated Service Providers”) to the extent that such approval (in the case of this clause (ii)) is required under applicable regulations of the SEC. See Appendix G to this Proxy Statement for information about the fees paid by the Funds, their investment advisers, and Affiliated Service Providers to each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee of each Fund complies with applicable laws and regulations with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to a Fund on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Fund’s Audit Committee. As noted above, the Audit Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to a Fund and those non-audit services provided to a Fund’s Affiliated Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fund. Each Audit Committee has implemented policies and procedures by which such services may be approved other than by the full Audit Committee. Subject to such policies and procedures, including applicable dollar limitations, the Audit Committee may pre-approve, without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”), certain permissible non-audit services that the Audit Committee believes are (a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and (b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. Each service approved subject to general pre-approval is presented to each Audit Committee for ratification at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting.

For each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years, there were no services rendered by D&T to the Funds for which the general pre-approval requirement was waived.

Each Audit Committee has considered the provision of non-audit services that were rendered by D&T to the Fund’s Affiliated Service Providers that were not pre-approved (and did not require pre-approval) in connection with determining such auditor’s independence. All services provided by D&T to each Fund and each Fund’s Affiliated Service Provider that required pre-approval were pre-approved during the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year.

The Audit Committee of each Fund consists of the following Board Members:

     Karen P. Robards (Chair);
     Frank J. Fabozzi;
     James T. Flynn; and
     W. Carl Kester.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

5% Share Ownership

As of June 30, 2010, to the best of the Funds’ knowledge, the persons listed in Appendix H beneficially owned or owned of record 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the class of the Funds indicated.

Submission of Shareholder Proposals

A shareholder proposal intended to be presented at a future meeting of shareholders of a Fund must be received at the offices of the Fund, Park Avenue Plaza, 55 East 52nd Street, New York, NY 10055, in accordance with the timing requirements set forth below. Timely submission of a proposal does not guarantee that such proposal will be included in a proxy statement.

If a shareholder intends to present a proposal at the 2011 annual meeting of a Fund’s shareholders and desires to have the proposal included in such Fund’s proxy statement and form of proxy for that meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, the shareholder must deliver the proposal to the offices of the appropriate Fund by March 25, 2011. In the event a Fund moves the date of its 2011 annual meeting by more than 30 days from the anniversary of its 2010 annual meeting, under current rules, shareholder submissions of proposals for inclusion in such Fund’s proxy statement and proxy card for the 2011 meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be delivered to the Fund a reasonable time before the Fund begins to print and send its proxy materials.

Shareholders who do not wish to submit a proposal for inclusion in a Fund’s proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2011 annual meeting in accordance with Rule 14a-8 may submit a proposal for consideration at the 2011 annual meeting in accordance with the By-laws of the Fund. The By-laws for all of the Funds require that advance notice be given to the Fund in the event a shareholder desires to transact any business, including business from the floor, at an annual meeting of shareholders, including the nomination of Board Members. Notice of any such business or nomination must be in writing, comply with the requirements of the By-laws and be received by the Fund between Thursday, May 5, 2011 and Saturday, June 4, 2011. In order for proposals of shareholders made outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act to be considered “timely” within the meaning of Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act, such proposals must be received at the Fund’s principal executive offices by Saturday, June 4, 2011. In the event a Fund moves the date of its 2011 annual meeting by more than 30 days from the anniversary of its 2010 annual meeting, shareholders who wish to submit a proposal or nomination for consideration at the 2011 annual meeting in accordance with the advance notice provisions of the By-laws of a Fund must deliver such proposal or nomination not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the meeting date was made, whichever comes first. If such proposals are not “timely” within the meaning of Rule 14a-4(c), then proxies solicited by the Board for next year’s annual meeting may confer discretionary authority to the Board to vote on such proposals. Copies of the By-laws of each Fund are available on the EDGAR Database on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. Each Fund will also furnish, without charge, a copy of its By-laws to a shareholder upon request. Such requests should be directed to the appropriate Fund at Park Avenue Plaza, 55 East 52nd Street, New York, NY 10055, or by calling toll free at 1-800-441-7762.

For all Funds, written proposals (including nominations) and notices should be sent to the Secretary of the Fund, Park Avenue Plaza, 55 East 52nd Street, New York, NY 10055.

Shareholder Communications

Shareholders who want to communicate with the Board or any individual Board Member should write their Fund to the attention of the Secretary, Park Avenue Plaza, 55 East 52nd Street, New York, NY 10055. Shareholders may communicate with the Boards electronically by sending an email to closedendfundsbod@blackrock.com . The communication should indicate that you are a Fund shareholder. If the communication is intended for a specific Board Member and so indicates, it will be sent only to that Board Member. If a communication does not indicate a specific Board Member, it will be sent to the Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee and the outside counsel to the Independent Board Members for further distribution as deemed appropriate by such persons.

Additionally, shareholders with complaints or concerns regarding accounting matters may address letters to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), Park Avenue Plaza, 55 East 52nd Street, New York, NY 10055. Shareholders who are uncomfortable submitting complaints to the CCO may address letters directly to the Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board that oversees the Fund. Such letters may be submitted on an anonymous basis.

Expense of Proxy Solicitation

The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy, accompanying notice and this Proxy Statement and costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Funds. Additional out-of-pocket costs, such as legal expenses and auditor fees, incurred in connection with the preparation of this Proxy Statement, also will be borne by the Funds. Costs that are borne by the Funds collectively will be allocated among the Funds on the basis of a combination of their respective net assets and number of shareholder accounts, except when direct costs can be reasonably attributed to one or more specific Funds.

Solicitation may be made by mail, telephone, fax, e-mail or the Internet by officers or employees of BlackRock Advisors, or by dealers and their representatives. Brokerage houses, banks and other fiduciaries may be requested to forward proxy solicitation material to their principals to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies. The Funds will reimburse brokerage firms, custodians, banks and fiduciaries for their expenses in forwarding this Proxy Statement and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of each Fund’s shares. The Funds and BlackRock have retained The Altman Group, Inc. (“Altman”), 60 East 42nd Street, Suite 916, New York, NY 10165, a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the printing and distribution of proxy materials and the solicitation and tabulation of proxies. In addition, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717, will assist the Funds in the distribution of proxy materials. It is anticipated that Altman and Broadridge will be paid approximately $45,000 and $725,000, respectively, for such services (including reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses). Altman may solicit proxies personally and by mail, telephone, fax, e-mail or the Internet. Each Fund’s portion of the foregoing expenses is not subject to any cap or voluntary agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses that may otherwise apply to that Fund.

If you are located in a jurisdiction where specific laws, rules or regulations require BlackRock to provide you with additional or different privacy-related rights beyond what is set forth below, then BlackRock will comply with those specific laws, rules or regulations.

BlackRock obtains or verifies personal non-public information from and about you from different sources, including the following: (i) information we receive from you or, if applicable, your financial intermediary, on applications, forms or other documents; (ii) information we receive from your transactions with us, our affiliates, or others; (iii) information we receive from a consumer reporting agency; and (iv) information we receive from visits to our websites.

General

Management does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that any other items of business will be presented at the meeting. However, if other matters are properly presented to the meeting for a vote, the proxies will be voted by the persons named in the enclosed proxy upon such matters in accordance with their judgment of the best interests of the Fund.

A list of each Fund’s shareholders of record as of the Record Date will be available for inspection at the shareholder meeting.

Failure of a quorum to be present at any meeting will necessitate adjournment. The persons named in the enclosed proxy may also move for an adjournment of any meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to the proposal if they determine that adjournment and further solicitation are reasonable and in the best interests of shareholders. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Fund present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the time of the meeting to be adjourned. Any adjourned meeting or meetings may be held without the necessity of another notice. The persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote in favor of any such adjournment if they believe the adjournment and additional proxy solicitation are reasonable and in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares that are present at the meeting.

Please vote promptly by signing and dating each enclosed proxy card, and if received by mail, returning it in the accompanying postage-paid return envelope OR by following the enclosed instructions to provide voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet.

By Order of the Boards,

Howard B. Surloff
Secretary of the Funds

Appendix B

Compensation of the Board Members

Each Board Member who is not an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Board Members”), is paid an annual retainer of $250,000 per year for his or her services as a Board Member of all BlackRock-advised closed-end funds (the “Closed-End Complex”) that are overseen by the respective director/trustee and each Board Member may also receive a $10,000 board meeting fee for special unscheduled meetings or meetings in excess of six Board meetings held in a calendar year, together with out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with a Board policy on travel and other business expenses relating to attendance at meetings. In addition, the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Board are paid an additional annual retainer of $120,000 and $40,000, respectively. The 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 member is paid an additional annual retainer of $25,000. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Closed-End Complex reimbursed Independent Board Member expenses in an aggregate amount of $50,726. Each Fund shall pay a pro rata portion quarterly (based on relative net assets) of the foregoing Board Member fees paid by the funds in the Closed-End Complex.

Dr. Gabbay is an interested person of the Funds and serves as an interested Board Member of three groups of BlackRock-advised funds—the Closed-End Complex and two complexes of open-end funds (the “Equity-Liquidity Complex” and the “Equity-Bond Complex”; each such complex, a “BlackRock Fund Complex”). Dr. Gabbay receives for his services as a Board Member of such BlackRock Fund Complexes (i) an annual retainer of $487,500 allocated to the funds in these three BlackRock Fund Complexes, including the Funds, based on their relative net assets and (ii) with respect to each of the two open-end BlackRock Fund Complexes, a Board meeting fee of $3,750 (with respect to meetings of the Equity-Liquidity Complex) and $18,750 (with respect to meetings of the Equity-Bond Complex) to be paid for attendance at each Board meeting up to five Board meetings held in a calendar year by each such complex (compensation for meetings in excess of this number to be determined on a case-by-case basis). Dr. Gabbay is also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with a Board policy on travel and other business expenses relating to attendance at meetings. Dr. Gabbay’s compensation for serving on the boards of the funds in these BlackRock Fund Complexes (including the Funds) is equal to 75% of each retainer and, as applicable, of each meeting fee (without regard to additional fees paid to Board and Committee chairs) received by the Independent Board Members serving on such boards. The Boards of the Funds or of any other fund in a BlackRock Fund Complex may modify the Board Members’ compensation from time to time depending on market conditions and Dr. Gabbay’s compensation would be impacted by those modifications.

The Independent Board Members have agreed that a maximum of 50% of each Independent Board Member’s total compensation paid by funds in the Closed-End Complex may be deferred pursuant to the Closed-End Complex’s deferred compensation plan. Under the deferred compensation plan, deferred amounts earn a return for the Independent Board Members as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of certain funds in the Closed-End Complex selected by the Independent Board Members. This has approximately the same economic effect for the Independent Board Members as if they had invested the deferred amounts in such other funds in the Closed-End Complex. The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of a fund and are recorded as a liability for accounting purposes. A fund may, however, elect to invest in common shares of those funds in the Closed-End Complex selected by the Independent Board Members in order to match its deferred compensation obligation.

B-1

The following table sets forth the aggregate compensation, including deferred compensation amounts, paid to each Independent Board Member and Dr. Gabbay by each Fund during its most recently completed fiscal year and by the Closed-End Complex for the most recently completed calendar year.

Standing and Other Operating Committees of the Boards

The business and affairs of each Fund are managed by or under the direction of its Board.

Standing Committees . The Board of each Fund has established the following standing committees:

Audit Committee. Each Board has a standing Audit Committee comprised of Karen P. Robards (Chair), Frank J. Fabozzi, James T. Flynn and W. Carl Kester, all of whom are Independent Board Members. The principal responsibilities of the Audit Committee are to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to the accounting and financial reporting polices and practices of the Fund. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities include, without limitation: (i) approving the selection, retention, termination and compensation of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “independent auditors”) and evaluating the independence and objectivity of the independent auditors; (ii) approving all audit engagement terms and fees for the Fund; (iii) reviewing the conduct and results of each audit and discussing the Fund’s audited and unaudited financial statements; (iv) reviewing any issues raised by the independent auditor or management regarding the accounting or financial reporting policies and practices of the Fund, its internal controls, and, as appropriate, the internal controls of certain service providers and management’s response to any such issues; (v) reviewing and discussing the Fund’s audited and unaudited financial statements and disclosure in the Fund’s shareholder reports relating to the Fund’s performance; (vi) assisting the Board in considering the performance of the Fund’s internal audit function provided by its investment adviser, administrator, pricing agent or other service provider; and (vii) resolving any disagreements between Fund management and the independent auditors regarding financial reporting.

A copy of the Audit Committee Charter for each Fund can be found in the “Corporate Governance” section of the BlackRock Closed-End Fund website at www.blackrock.com. ¹

Governance and Nominating Committee. Each Board has a standing Governance and Nominating Committee. Each Governance and Nominating Committee is comprised of R. Glenn Hubbard (Chair), Richard E. Cavanagh, Kathleen F. Feldstein and Jerrold B. Harris, all of whom are Independent Board Members.

The principal responsibilities of the Governance Committee are: (i) identifying individuals qualified to serve as Independent Board Members and recommending Independent Board Member nominees for election by shareholders or appointment by the Board; (ii) advising the Board with respect to Board composition, procedures and committees (other than the Audit Committee); (iii) overseeing periodic self-assessments of the Board and committees of the Board (other than the Audit Committee); (iv) reviewing and making recommendations in respect of Independent Board Member compensation; (v) monitoring corporate governance matters and making recommendations in respect thereof to the Board; and (vi) acting as the administrative committee with respect to Board policies and procedures, committee policies and procedures (other than the Audit Committee) and codes of ethics as they relate to the Independent Board Members.

The Governance Committee of each Board seeks to identify individuals to serve on the Board who have a diverse range of viewpoints, qualifications, experiences, backgrounds and skill sets so that the Board will be better suited to fulfill its responsibility of overseeing the Fund’s activities. In so doing, the Governance Committee reviews the size of the Board, the ages of the current Board Members and their tenure on the Board, and the skills, background and experiences of the Board Members in light of the issues facing the Fund in determining whether one or more new directors should be added to the Board. The Governance Committee believes that the Board Members as a group possess the array of skills, experiences and backgrounds necessary to guide the Fund. The

E-1

Board Members’ biographies included herein highlight the diversity and breadth of skills, qualifications and expertise that the Board Members bring to the Fund.

Each Governance and Nominating Committee may consider nominations for Board Members made by the Fund’s shareholders as it deems appropriate. Shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send a recommendation to the Fund’s Secretary that includes all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of Board Members or is required by the advance notice provision of the Fund’s By-laws. For a candidate to be considered by the Governance and Nominating Committee, a shareholder must submit the recommendation in writing and must include:

the name and record address of the shareholder, the class or series and number of shares of the Fund which are owned beneficially or of record by the shareholder, a description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and each proposed candidate and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the nomination(s) made by the shareholder, a representation that the shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the persons named in its recommendation, and any other information relating to the shareholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors/trustees pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and
the name, age, business address and residential address of the candidate(s), the principal occupation or employment of the candidate(s), the class or series and number of shares of the Fund which are owned beneficially or of record by the candidate(s), if any, and any other information relating to the candidate(s) that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors/trustees pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act.

Such recommendation must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed candidate to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director/trustee if elected. The Governance and Nominating Committee may take into consideration the number of shares held by the recommending shareholder and the length of time that such shares have been held.

A copy of the Governance and Nominating Committee Charter for each Fund can be found in the “Corporate Governance” section of the BlackRock Closed-End Fund website at www.blackrock.com. ²

Compliance Committee. Each Fund has a Compliance Committee composed of Kathleen F. Feldstein (Chair), Richard E. Cavanagh, Jerrold B. Harris and R. Glenn Hubbard, all of whom are Independent Board Members. The Compliance Committee’s purpose is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility with respect to the oversight of regulatory and fiduciary compliance matters involving the Fund, the fund-related activities of BlackRock, and any subadvisor and the Fund’s other third party service providers. The Compliance Committee’s responsibilities include, without limitation: (i) overseeing the compliance policies and procedures of the Fund and its service providers; (ii) reviewing information on and, where appropriate, recommending policies concerning the Fund’s compliance with applicable law; (iii) reviewing information on any significant correspondence with or other actions by regulators or governmental agencies with respect to the Fund and any employee complaints or published reports that raise concerns regarding compliance matters; and (iv) reviewing reports from and making certain recommendations in respect of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer, including, without limitation, determining the amount and structure of the Chief Compliance Officer’s compensation. The Boards have adopted a written charter for each Compliance Committee.

E-2

Performance Oversight Committee. Each Fund has a Performance Oversight Committee composed of Frank J. Fabozzi (Chair), Richard E. Cavanagh, Kathleen F. Feldstein, James T. Flynn, Jerrold B. Harris, R. Glenn Hubbard, W. Carl Kester and Karen P. Robards, all of whom are Independent Board Members. The Performance Oversight Committee’s purpose is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee the Fund’s investment performance relative to the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and practices. The Performance Oversight Committee’s responsibilities include, without limitation: (i) reviewing the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and practices; (ii) recommending to the Board any required action in respect of changes in fundamental and non-fundamental investment restrictions; (iii) reviewing information on appropriate benchmarks and competitive universes; (iv) reviewing the Fund’s investment performance relative to such benchmarks; (v) reviewing information on unusual or exceptional investment matters; (vi) reviewing whether the Fund has complied with its investment polices and restrictions; and (vii) overseeing policies, procedures and controls regarding valuation of the Fund’s investments. The Boards have adopted a written charter for each Performance Oversight Committee.

Executive Committee. Each Fund has an Executive Committee composed of Richard E. Cavanagh and Karen P. Robards, both of whom are Independent Board Members, and Richard S. Davis, who serves as an interested Board Member. The principal responsibilities of the Executive Committee include, without limitation: (i) acting on routine matters between meetings of the Board; (ii) acting on such matters as may require urgent action between meetings of the Board; and (iii) exercising such other authority as may from time to time be delegated to the Executive Committee by the Board. The Boards have adopted a written charter for each Executive Committee.

Other Operating Committees . The Funds also have adopted the following ad hoc committee.

Ad Hoc AMPS Committee. Each AMPS Fund has an ad hoc Committee on Auction Market Preferred Shares (the “AMPS Committee”) composed of Richard E. Cavanagh (Chair), Karen P. Robards, Frank J. Fabozzi, Henry Gabbay and W. Carl Kester. Since February 2008, most auction rate preferred shares, including the AMPS, have been unable to hold successful auctions and AMPS holders have faced reduced liquidity. The AMPS Committee was formed to monitor issues arising from recent market turmoil and oversee efforts to address the effects of reduced AMPS liquidity on each Fund and to evaluate the liquidity considerations of the AMPS holders, each in a manner consistent with each Fund’s and its shareholders’ best interests and investment strategies. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the AMPS Committee has met eight times in the calendar year and 35 times since its formation. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the total amount of redemptions of auction market preferred shares across the Closed-End Complex, including the AMPS Funds, equaled $3.190 billion, which represents approximately 32.5% of all auction market preferred shares outstanding for the Closed-End Complex as of February 2008. The AMPS Funds are currently exploring alternative forms of leverage in order to provide liquidity to holders of AMPS, including, among other things, development of a new form of preferred stock that includes a put feature, which would make the security eligible for purchase by money market funds. The AMPS Funds are also exploring the expanded use of additional alternative forms of leverage such as tender option bonds, repurchase agreements and credit facilities.

Each Audit Committee, each Governance and Nominating Committee, each Compliance Committee, each Performance Oversight Committee, each Executive Committee and each AMPS Committee met the following number of times for each Fund’s most recent fiscal year:
