s at least 80% of its total assets in municipal bonds, municipal securities and derivative instruments with exposure to such bonds and securities, in each case that are expected to pay interest or income that is exempt from regular Federal income tax. BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) will not conduct its own analysis of the tax status of the interest or income paid by these instruments, but will rely on the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each such instrument. For the purposes of the foregoing 80% policy, “total assets” are the Fund’s net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund’s investments in derivatives will be counted toward the Fund’s 80% policy to the extent that they provide investment exposure to the securities included within that policy or to one or more market risk factors associated with such securities. The Fund’s 80% policy is a fundamental policy that may not be changed without the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Trust (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)). Substantially all of the municipal bonds owned by the Fund are rated below investment grade; however, because the Fund has economic exposure to additional municipal bonds through its ownership of residual interest tender option bonds, at least 50% of the Fund’s economic exposure to investment securities is to municipal bonds rated investment grade quality. Economic exposure to municipal bonds refers to bonds owned by the Fund and bonds to which the Fund is exposed through the ownership of residual interest tender option bonds. Investment grade quality means that such bonds are rated, at the time of investment, within the four highest grades (“Baa” or “BBB” or better by Moody’s Investor Service Inc. (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”)) or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Manager. Municipal bonds rated “Baa” by Moody’s are investment grade, but Moody’s considers municipal bonds rated “Baa” to have speculative characteristics. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity for issuers of municipal bonds that are rated “BBB” or “Baa” (or that have equivalent ratings) to make principal and interest payments than is the case for issues of higher grade municipal bonds. Under normal market conditions, up to 50% of the Fund’s economic exposure to investment securities may be to municipal bonds that are rated,
