BlackRock Enhanced Government Fund, Inc. (NYSE:EGF), BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust (NYSE:BOE) and BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust (NYSE AMEX:BQY) (collectively, the “Trusts”) have adopted a level distribution plan (the “Plan”) and employ either a managed distribution or 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 Trust’s Board. Under its Plan, each Trust will distribute all available investment income to its shareholders, consistent with its primary investment objectives and as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If sufficient investment income is not available on a quarterly/monthly basis, the Trust will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return capital to its shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution.
