 of the holders of shares entitled to cast one-thirdof the votes entitled to be cast by each class or series entitled to vote as a separate class or series shall constitute a quorum to conduct business at the Special Meeting. For each Target Fund, the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter at a shareholder meeting present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum for purposes of conducting business on such matter. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the shareholders, the chair of the Special Meeting shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, in the manner provided in the Fund’s bylaws, until a quorum shall be present or represented. The inspectors of election, who may be employees of BlackRock, will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the Special Meeting. The inspectors of election will generally treat abstentions and “broker non-votes”,if any, as present for purposes of determining a quorum, subject to any applicable rules of the NYSE. 122

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 the applicable proposals before the Special Meeting. Each Fund expects that broker-dealer firms holding shares of the Fund in
“street name” for their customers will not be permitted by NYSE rules to vote on the applicable proposals on behalf of their customers and beneficial owners in the absence of voting instructions from their customers and beneficial owners.
Accordingly, each Fund does not expect to receive any “broker non-votes.” Broker non-votes occur when shares are held by brokers or
nominees for which proxies have been returned but (a) voting instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote, (b) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power or elects not to
exercise discretion on a particular matter and (c) the shares are present at the meeting.We urge you to instruct your broker or other nominee to vote your shares.

If you hold your shares directly (not through a broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution) and if you return a properly executed
proxy card that does not specify how you wish to vote on a proposal, your shares will be voted “FOR” each proposal on which you
