* In order to comply with the requirements of Section 19 of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, each of the Funds noted
above posted to the DTC bulletin board and sent to their
shareholders as of the applicable record date a Section 19 notice
with the previous dividend payment. The Section 19 notice
was provided not for tax reporting purposes but for informational
purposes only. This information can be found in the “Closed-End
Funds” section of www.blackrock.com. If applicable, the
final determination of the source and tax characteristics of all
distributions in 2010 will be made after the end of the year.
BlackRock Enhanced Government Fund, Inc. (NYSE:EGF), BlackRock
Global Opportunities Equity Trust (NYSE:BOE) and BlackRock S&P
Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust (NYSE AMEX:BQY)
(collectively, the “Trusts”) have adopted a level distribution plan
(the “Plan”) and employ either a managed distribution or an option
over-write policy to support a level distribution of income,
capital gains and/or return of capital. The fixed amounts
distributed per share are subject to change at the discretion of
each Trust’s Board. Under its Plan, each Trust will distribute
all available investment income to its shareholders, consistent
with its primary investment objectives and as required by the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If
sufficient investment income is not available on a
quarterly/monthly basis, the Trust will distribute long-term
capital gains and or return capital to its shareholders in order to
maintain a level distribution.
The Trusts’ estimated sources of the distributions paid as of
August 31, 2010 or October 29, 2010, as applicable, and for their
current fiscal year are as follows:

1 The Trust estimates that it has distributed more than its
income and capital gains in the current fiscal year; therefore, a
portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return
of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the
shareholder’s investment is paid back to the shareholder. A return
of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect a Trust's
investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or
‘income’.
2 At August 12, 2010, and after giving effect to the Fund's
cumulative gain distributions for its fiscal year, the Fund has
accumulated net realized losses and net unrealized losses of
approximately $2.7 million. The amount of the Fund's unrealized
depreciation of portfolio securities as of that date was $4.4
million.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only
estimates and are not provided for tax reporting purposes. The
actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting
purposes will depend upon the Trust’s investment experience during
the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes
based on tax regulations. The Trust will send you a Form 1099-DIV
for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these
distributions for federal income tax purposes.
