NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Please replace the release dated April 11, 2023, with the following corrected version due to changes in the table, "Summary of share repurchase activity since Repurchase Program inception as of March 31, 2023". The updated release reads: BLACKROCK CLOSED-END FUND SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM UPDATE BlackRock Advisors, LLC (“BlackRock”) released today share repurchase activity for certain BlackRock-advised closed-end funds (the “Funds”) during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The Funds have authorized open market share repurchase programs (the “Repurchase Programs”) pursuant to which each Fund may repurchase, through November 30, 2023, up to 5% of its outstanding common shares in open market transactions. The Repurchase Programs seek to enhance shareholder value by purchasing Fund shares trading at a discount from their net asset value (“NAV”) per share, which could result in incremental accretion to a Fund’s NAV. Below is a summary of share repurchase activity over this past quarter and since the inception of each Fund’s Repurchase Program: Summary of share repurchase activity during the most recent calendar quarter ended March 31, 2023: Fund Name Ticker Number of Shares Repurchased Total Amount of Shares Repurchased Total Amount of NAV Accretion Average Discount on Days Repurchased BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust BGR 115,340 $1,503,284 $183,604 -11.0% BlackRock Enhanced Global Dividend Trust BOE 154,883 $1,504,183 $220,829 -13.1% BlackRock Enhanced International Dividend Trust BGY 705,341 $3,795,236 $529,887 -12.7% BlackRock Health Sciences Term Trust BMEZ 1,249,867 $20,361,376 $3,428,666 -14.6% BlackRock Science and Technology Term Trust BSTZ 790,769 $13,820,656 $2,364,926 -14.5% BlackRock Innovation and Growth Term Trust BIGZ 2,756,968 $20,553,458 $5,206,390 -20.2% BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust BCX 911,703 $9,093,513 $1,185,440 -12.0% BlackRock Floating Rate Income Trust BGT 55,022 $624,592 $74,337 -10.8% BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust BFZ 268,657 $3,046,545 $450,492 -13.0% BlackRock MuniHoldings California Quality Fund, Inc.
