Investment operations for S&P Quality Rankings commenced on May 28, 2004.

Investment Valuation:  Each Trust values its investments primarily by using market quotations. Short-term debt investments having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less when purchased and debt investments originally purchased with maturities in excess of 60 days but which currently have maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Any investments or other assets for which current market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value (“Fair Value Assets”) as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of each Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The investment advisor and/or sub-advisor will submit its recommendations regarding the valuation and/or valuation methodologies for Fair Value Assets to a valuation committee. The valuation committee may accept, modify or reject any recommendations. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets shall be subsequently reported to and ratified by the Board of Trustees.

     When determining the price for a Fair Value Asset, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor shall seek to determine the price that the Trust might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that BlackRock Advisors deems relevant.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed. These dividends are recorded as soon as the Trust is informed of the ex-dividend date. Dividend income on foreign securities is recorded net of any withholding tax.

Option Writing/Purchasing: When a Trust writes or purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Trust is recorded as a liability or an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by the Trust on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or the proceeds from the sale in determining whether a Trust has realized a gain or a loss on investment transactions. A Trust, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

     A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying position at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying position at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the option period.

     The main risk that is associated with purchasing options is that the option expires without being exercised. In this case, the option expires worthless and the premium paid for the option is considered the loss. The risk associated with writing call options is that a Trust may forgo the opportunity for a profit if the market value of the underlying position increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing put options is that a Trust may incur a loss if the market value of the underlying position decreases and the option is exercised. In addition, the Trust risks not being able to enter into a closing transaction for the written option as the result of an illiquid market.

Federal Income Taxes: It is each Trust’s intention to elect to be treated as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute sufficient amounts of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provisions are required.

Dividends and Distributions: The Trusts declare and pay dividends and distributions to common shareholders quarterly from net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains and other sources, if necessary. Net long-term capital gains, if any, in excess of loss carryforwards may be distributed annually. If the total dividends and distributions made in any tax year exceeds net investment income and accumulated realized capital gains, a portion of the total distribution may be treated as a tax-free return of capital. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by the Board, non-interested Trustees are required to defer a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation pursuant to the plan. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of other BlackRock closed-end trusts selected by the Trustees. This has the same economic effect for the Trustees as if the Trustees had invested the deferred amounts in such Trusts.

     The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trust. Each Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of those Trusts selected by the Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations.

Note 2. Agreements     Each Trust has an Investment Management Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., serves as sub-advisor to each Trust. BlackRock, Inc. is an indirect majority owned subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. The investment management agreement covers both investment advisory and administration services.

     Each Trust’s investment advisory fee paid to the Advisor is computed weekly, accrued daily and payable monthly based on an annual rate, 0.65% for Dividend Achievers, 1.20% for Global Energy and Resources, 1.00% for Health Sciences, 0.75% for Strategic Dividend Achievers and 0.75% for S&P Quality Rankings, of each Trust’s average weekly managed assets. Because the Trusts have no present intention of borrowing for investment purposes, the Trusts’“managed assets” will generally be equal to the Trusts’net assets. The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fees or some other expenses on Global Energy and Resources as a percentage of its average weekly managed assets as follows: 0.20% for first five years of the Trust’s operations, 0.15% in year 6, 0.10% in year 7 and 0.05% in year 7.

     Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, the Advisor provides continuous supervision of the investment portfolio and pays the compensation of officers of the Trust who are affiliated persons of the Advisor. The Advisor pays occupancy and certain clerical and accounting costs. Each Trust bears all other costs and expenses, which may include reimbursements to the Advisor for cost of employees that provide pricing, secondary market support and compliance support to the Trust.

(“Mergent®”) to use the Dividend AchieverTM universe of common stocks. If Mergent® revokes each Trust’s license to use the Dividend AchieversTM universe, the Board of that Trust may need to adopt a new investment strategy and/or new investment policies.

If S&P® terminates the license to use either the S&P Quality Rankings or the S&P International Quality Rankings, the Board may need to adopt a new investment strategy and/or new investment polices. There is no assurance that the Trust would pursue or achieve its investment objective during the period in which it implements these replacement investment policies or strategies. “Standard & Poor’s®”, “S&P®”, “Standard & Poor’s Earnings and Dividend Rankings”, “S&P Earnings and Dividend Rankings”, “Standard & Poor’s Quality Rankings”, “Standard & Poor’s International Quality Rankings”, “S&P International Quality Rankings” and “S&P Quality Rankings” are trademarks of Standard & Poor’s® and have been licensed for use by the Trust.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLANS (unaudited) 


     Pursuant to each Trust’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), common shareholders are automatically enrolled to have all distributions reinvested by The Bank of New York (the “Plan Agent”) in the respective Trust’s shares pursuant to the Plan. Shareholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check and mailed directly to the shareholders of record (or if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Plan Agent.

     The Plan Agent serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Plan. After a Trust declares a distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Trust (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding shares on the open market, on the Trust’s primary exchange or elsewhere (“open-market purchases”). If, on the distribution payment date, the net asset value per share (“NAV”) is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market premium”), the Plan Agent will invest the distribution amount in newly issued shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the distribution by the NAV on the date the shares are issued. However, if the NAV is less than 95% of the market price on the payment date, the dollar amount of the distribution will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date. If, on the distribution payment date, the NAV is greater than the market value per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market discount”), the Plan Agent will invest the distribution amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases.

     Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the distribution record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared distribution.

     The Plan Agent’s fees for the handling of the reinvestment of distributions will be paid by each Trust. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of distributions. The automatic reinvestment of distributions will not relieve participants of any Federal income tax that may be payable on such distributions.

     Each Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, each Trust reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Participants that request a sale of shares through the Plan Agent are subject to a $2.50 sales fee and a $0.15 per share sold brokerage commission. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at The Bank of New York, Dividend Reinvestment Department, P.O. Box 1958, Newark, New Jersey 07101-9774; or by calling 1-866-216-0242.

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (unaudited) 


     Before Global Energy and Resources and Health Sciences (collectively, the “Trusts”) initial public offering, the Trusts disclosed that they may engage in the purchase and sale of over-the-counter options. However, at that time, the Trusts did not intend to make transactions involving over-the-counter options a substantial portion of their option writing strategy. Currently, the Trusts’ portfolio managers believe there are attractive opportunities to make greater use of over-the-counter options. The Trusts now anticipate that they will engage in the purchase and sale of over-the-counter options with greater frequency.

     Over-the-counter options differ from exchange-listed options in that they are two-party contracts, with exercise price, premium and other terms negotiated between buyer and seller, and generally do not have as much market liquidity as exchange-listed options. The counterparties to these transactions typically will be major international banks, broker-dealers and financial institutions. The Trust may be required to restrict the sale of securities being used to cover certain written over-the-counter options. The over-the-counter options written by the Trust will not be issued, guaranteed or cleared by the Options Clearing Corporation. In addition, the Trusts’ ability to terminate the over-the-counter options may be more limited than with exchange-traded options. Banks, broker-dealers or other financial institutions participating in such transaction may fail to settle a transaction in accordance with the terms of the option as written. In the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, the Trusts may be unable to liquidate an over-the-counter option position.

The Trusts will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including annual and semi-annual reports and proxy statements, to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly called “householding” and is intended to reduce expenses and eliminate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Trusts at (866) 216-0242.

The Trusts have delegated to the Advisor the voting of proxies relating to their voting securities pursuant to the Advisor’s proxy voting policies and procedures. You may obtain a copy of these proxy voting policies and procedures, without charge, by calling (866)216-0242. These policies and procedures are also available on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) at http://www.sec.gov.

Information on how proxies relating to the Trusts’ voting securities were voted (if any) by the Advisor during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30th is available, upon request, by calling (866) 216-0242 or on the website of the Commission at http://www.sec.gov.

The Trusts file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings for the first and third quarters of their respective fiscal years with the Commission on Form N-Q. Each Trust’s Form N-Q will be available on the Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Each Trust’s Form N-Q, when available, may be reviewed and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information regarding the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330. Each Trust’s Form N-Q, when available, may also be obtained, upon request, by calling (866) 216-0242.
