 The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. The Trust also seeks to achieve its investment objective by employing a strategy of writing (selling) call and put options. On November 22, 2024, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Trust approved a proposal to change the name of the Trust to BlackRock Enhanced Large Cap Core Fund, Inc. In connection with the name change, the Board approved the adoption of a non-fundamental investment policy to invest at least 80% of the Trust’s net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in large cap equity securities and derivatives that provide investment exposure to such securities or to one or more market risk factors associated with such securities. These changes were effective at the close of business on December 31, 2024. No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved. Trust Information
