BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust (NYSE:BCX), BlackRock
Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust (NYSE:BDJ), BlackRock Energy and
Resources Trust (NYSE:BGR), BlackRock Enhanced International Dividend
Trust (NYSE:BGY), BlackRock Health Sciences Trust (NYSE:BME), BlackRock
Enhanced Global Dividend Trust (NYSE:BOE), BlackRock Utilities,
Infrastructure & Power Opportunities Trust (NYSE:BUI), BlackRock
Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE:CII), BlackRock Science and
Technology Trust (NYSE:BST), and BlackRock Enhanced Government Fund,
Inc. (NYSE:EGF) (collectively, the “Plan Funds”) have adopted a managed
distribution plan (a “Plan”) and employ an option over-write policy to
support a level distribution of income, capital gains and/or return of
capital. The fixed amounts distributed per share are subject to
change at the discretion of each Plan Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees.
Under its Plan, each Plan Fund will distribute all available investment
income to its shareholders, consistent with its investment objectives
and as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If
sufficient investment income is not available on a monthly basis, each
Plan Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return capital
to its shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution.

The Plan Funds’ estimated sources of the distributions paid as of April
30, 2019 and for its current fiscal year is as follows:

¹The Plan Fund estimates that it has distributed more than
its income and net-realized capital gains in the current fiscal year;
therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A
return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the
shareholder’s investment is paid back to the shareholder. A return of
capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Plan Fund’s
investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or
‘income’. When distributions exceed total return performance, the
difference will reduce the Plan Fund’s net asset value per share.

The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates
and are not provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and
sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon each
Plan Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its
fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Each
Plan Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will
tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax
purposes.

*Portfolio launched within the past 5 years; the performance and
distribution rate information presented for this Fund reflects data from
inception to 3/31/2019.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about a Plan Fund’s
investment performance from the amount of the Plan Fund’s current
distributions or from the terms of a Plan Fund’s Plan.

BKT has adopted a Plan whereby beginning August 2018 the Fund will make
fixed monthly distributions to common stockholders and will distribute
all available investment income to its stockholders, consistent with its
investment objective and as required by the Code. The fixed amount
distributed per share is subject to change at the discretion of BKT’s
Board. If sufficient investment income is not available on a monthly
basis, the Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return
capital to its stockholders in order to maintain a level distribution.
The Fund is currently not relying on any exemptive relief from Section
19(b) of the 1940 Act. The Fund expects that distributions under the
Plan will exceed current income and capital gains and therefore will
likely include a return of capital. BKT may make additional
distributions from time to time, including additional capital gain
distributions at the end of the taxable year, if required to meet
requirements imposed by the Code and/or the 1940 Act.

BKT’s estimated sources of the distributions paid as of April 30, 2019
and for its current fiscal year is as follows:

²BKT estimates that it has distributed more than its income
and net realized capital gains in the current fiscal year; therefore, a
portion of the distribution may be a return of capital. A return of
capital may occur, for example, when some or all of a stockholder’s
investment is paid back to the stockholder. A return of capital
distribution does not necessarily reflect BKT’s investment performance
and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’. When distributions
exceed total return performance, the difference will reduce BKT’s net
asset value per share.

The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates
and are being provided to you pursuant to regulatory requirements and
are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts
and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon
BKT’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and
may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. BKT will send its
stockholders a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will illustrate
how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes

No conclusions should be drawn about the BKT’s investment performance
from the amount of the Fund’s distributions or from the terms of the
Fund’s Plan.

The amount distributed per share under a Plan is subject to change at
the discretion of the applicable Fund’s Board. Each Plan will be
subject to ongoing review by the Board to determine whether the Plan
should be continued, modified or terminated. The Board may amend the
terms of a Plan or suspend or terminate a Plan at any time without prior
notice to the Fund’s shareholders if it deems such actions to be in the
best interest of the Fund or its shareholders. The amendment or
termination of a Plan could have an adverse effect on the market price
of the Fund’s shares.
