**BlackRock Utilities, Infrastructure & Power Opportunities Trust (BUI) Announces Results of its Rights Offering** 

**New York, April 2, 2026 -** BlackRock Utilities, Infrastructure & Power Opportunities Trust (NYSE: BUI) (the "Fund") today announced the successful completion of its transferable rights offer (the "Offer") which expired on April 2, 2026 (the "Expiration Date"). The Offer entitled rights holders to subscribe for up to an aggregate of 6,019,793 shares of the Fund's common stock, par value of $0.001 per share (each, a "Common Share"). The final subscription price of $26.37 per Common Share was determined based upon the formula equal to 95% of the net asset value as of 4/2/2026.

The Offer was undersubscribed and the full amount of shares subscribed will be allocated.

**"Thank you to our shareholders for their continued confidence in the Fund. Although geopolitical events are causing market volatility, we believe increasing capital investment on infrastructure and power supply around the globe provides a tremendous backdrop for our strategy. For example, current Middle East activities may accelerate governments' infrastructure spending to address their energy security needs. The fresh injection of capital from the rights offering will help us take advantage of these opportunities."** – Alastair Bishop – Portfolio Manager of the Fund.

The Offer is expected to result in the issuance of more than 2.4 million Common Shares (including Common Shares subscribed pursuant to notices of guaranteed delivery), resulting in anticipated proceeds to the Fund of approximately $64.6 million. The Fund will receive the entire proceeds of the Offer since BlackRock Advisors, LLC, the Fund's investment adviser, has agreed to pay all expenses related to the Offer. The Fund intends to invest the proceeds of the Offer in accordance with its investment objective and policies.

Shares issued pursuant to the Offer will be entitled to receive the monthly distribution expected to be payable in April 2026.
