* 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 of record as of the applicable record date a Section 19 notice with the previous distribution payment. The Section 19 notice was provided for informational purposes only and not for tax reporting purposes. This information can be found in the "Closed-End Funds" section of www.blackrock.com.

(NYS: CII) and BlackRock Enhanced Government Fund, Inc. (NYS: EGF) have each adopted a level distribution plan (the "Plan" and such Funds, the "Plan Funds") 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.
