Section 19(b) Disclosure

BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust IV (BTZ) and BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. (CII) (collectively, the “Funds”), acting pursuant to
a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) exemptive order and with the approval of each Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”), each have
adopted a plan, consistent with its investment objectives and policies to support a level distribution of income, capital gains and/or return of capital (“Plan”).
In accordance with the Plans, the Funds currently distribute the following fixed amounts per share on a monthly basis for BTZ and a quarterly basis for CII:

Exchange Symbol  Amount Per Common Share 
BTZ  $ 0.100 
CII  $ 0.485 

The fixed amounts distributed per share are subject to change at the discretion of each Fund’s Board. Under its Plan, each Fund 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
(the “Code”). If sufficient investment income is not available on a monthly/quarterly basis, the Funds will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of
capital to shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution. Each monthly/quarterly distribution to shareholders is expected to be at the fixed amount
established by the Board, except for extraordinary distributions and potential distribution rate increases or decreases to enable the Funds to comply with
the distribution requirements imposed by the Code.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Funds’ investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of the Plan.
Each Fund’s total return performance on net asset value is presented in its financial highlights table.

The Board may amend, suspend or terminate a Fund’s Plan without prior notice if it deems such actions to be in the best interests of the Fund or its share-
holders. The suspension or termination of the Plan could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if the Fund’s stock is trading at or above net asset
value) or widening an existing trading discount. The Funds are subject to risks that could have an adverse impact on their ability to maintain level distri-
butions. Examples of potential risks include, but are not limited to, economic downturns impacting the markets, decreased market volatility, companies sus-
pending or decreasing corporate dividend distributions and changes in the Code. Please refer to each Fund’s prospectus for a more complete description
of its risks.

Please refer to Additional Information for a cumulative summary of the Section 19(a) notices for each Fund’s current fiscal period. Section 19(a) notices for
the Funds, as applicable, are available on the BlackRock website www.blackrock.com.

2 ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009


Dear Shareholder

Over the past 12 months, we have witnessed a seismic shift in market sentiment — from fear and pessimism during the worst economic decline and crisis

of confidence in financial markets since The Great Depression to increasing optimism amid emerging signs of recovery. The period began in the midst of an

intense deterioration in global economic activity and financial markets in the final months of 2008 and the early months of 2009. The collapse of confi-

dence resulted in massive government policy intervention on a global scale in the financial system and the economy. The tide turned dramatically in March

2009, however, on the back of new US government initiatives, as well as better-than-expected economic data and upside surprises in corporate earnings.

Not surprisingly, global equity markets endured extreme volatility over the past 12 months, starting with steep declines and heightened risk aversion in the

early part of the reporting period, which eventually gave way to an impressive rally that began in March. Although there have been fits and starts along the

way and a few modest corrections, the new bull market has pushed all major US indices well into positive territory for 2009. The experience in international

markets was similar to that in the United States. In particular, emerging markets (which were less affected by the global credit crunch and are experiencing

faster economic growth rates when compared to the developed world) have posted impressive gains since the rally began.

In fixed income markets, the flight-to-safety premium in Treasury securities prevailed during the equity market downturn, which drove yields sharply lower,

but concerns about deficit spending, debt issuance, inflation and dollar weakness have kept Treasury yields range bound in recent months. As economic

and market conditions began to improve in early 2009, near-zero interest rates on risk-free assets prompted many investors to reallocate money from cash

investments into higher-yielding and riskier non-Treasury assets. The high yield sector was the greatest beneficiary of this move, having decisively outpaced

all other taxable asset classes since the start of 2009. Similarly, the municipal bond market is on pace for its best performance year ever in 2009, following

one of its worst years in 2008. Investor demand remains strong for munis, helping to create a highly favorable technical backdrop. Municipal bond mutual

funds are seeing record inflows, reflecting the renewed investor interest in the asset class.

As a result of the rebound in sentiment and global market conditions, most major benchmark indexes are now in positive territory for both the

6- and 12-month periods.

Fund Summary as of October 31, 2009 BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust I, Inc.

Investment Objective

BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust I, Inc. (PSW) (formerly BlackRock Preferred and Corporate Income Strategies Fund, Inc.) (the “Fund”) seeks to
provide shareholders with high current income and capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing primarily in credit-related securi-
ties, including, but not limited to, investment grade corporate bonds, high yield bonds, bank loans, preferred securities or convertible bonds or derivatives with
economic characteristics similar to these credit-related securities.

Effective November 13, 2009, BlackRock Preferred and Corporate Income Strategies Fund, Inc. was renamed BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust I, Inc.

The Board approved a change to the Fund’s non-fundamental investment policies during the period. Please refer to page 70 in the Additional Information
section.

No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

Performance

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the Fund returned 37.59% based on market price and 46.46% based on net asset value (“NAV”). For the
same period, the closed-end Lipper Income & Preferred Stock Funds category posted an average return of 39.55% on a market price basis and 40.36% on
a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between
performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Strong annual performance has been driven by the Fund’s positioning to fully capture the
near-term strength anticipated in the preferred sector during 2009. The Fund benefited from an overweight allocation to institutional hybrids (preferred secu-
rities available only over-the-counter to institutional investors) as the sector continued its dramatic outperformance during 2009 relative to retail preferred
securities, which are exchange traded. This position also served as a performance detractor when the preferred sector deteriorated during the fourth quarter
of 2008. Performance benefited from participation in several additional issuer-related tenders in preferred equity exchanges, along with an overweight in
the insurance sector. A generally large position in short-term securities proved beneficial as well — most notably during 2008 and into the first quarter
of 2009 — as it preserved NAV better than had the Fund been fully invested. Finally, the Fund notably reduced leverage in response to rating agency
methodology changes for preferred securities requiring greater collateral due to increased volatility in the sector, which detracted from performance.

Fund Summary as of October 31, 2009  BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. 
     Investment Objective   
BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. (CII) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with a combination of current income and capital 
appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks in an attempt to 
generate current income and by employing a strategy of writing (selling) call options on equity indexes in an attempt to generate gains from option 
premiums primarily on the S&P 500 Index.   
The Board approved a change to the Fund’s option writing policy during the period. Please refer to page 70 in the Additional Information section. 
       No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.   
     Performance   
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the Fund returned 29.88% based on market price and 22.01% based on NAV. For the same period, the 
benchmark S&P 500 Citigroup Value Index returned 2.98% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund's discount to NAV, which 
narrowed significantly during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The main con- 
tributor to Fund performance relative to the S&P 500 Citigroup Value Index was the Option strategy that was implemented by the Fund. The option strategy 
contributed almost 75% of the outperformance over the index. From an equity holdings standpoint, the main contributors were an underweight and stock 
selection in financials, stock selection in health care and industrials, and overweights in the information technology and energy sectors. The main detractors 
from performance for the one-year period included stock selection in materials and consumer staples, as well as an underweight in the consumer 
discretionary sector.

Fund Summary as of October 31, 2009 BlackRock Floating Rate Income Trust

Investment Objective

BlackRock Floating Rate Income Trust (BGT) (formerly BlackRock Global Floating Rate Income Trust) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a high level of current
income and to seek the preservation of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a global portfolio of primarily floating and variable
rate securities.

No assurance can be given that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

Performance

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the Fund returned 54.14% based on market price and 39.51% based on NAV. For the same period, the
closed-end Lipper Loan Participation Funds category posted an average return of 39.76% on a market price basis and 25.60% on a NAV basis. All returns
reflect reinvestment of dividends. (The performance of the Lipper category does not necessarily correlate to that of the Fund, as the Lipper group comprises
both closed-end funds that employ leverage and continuously offered closed-end funds that do not. For this reporting period, those Lipper peers that do not
employ leverage were at a disadvantage given the market rally.) The Fund's discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference
between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. For the first two months of the reporting period, the high yield loan market was under
extreme pressure and lost 10.9%, as measured by the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index. However, this brief period of underperformance was followed by the
market’s strongest results ever, as the sector gained more than 40% for the period January 1, 2009 to October 31, 2009. On average, market performance was
positive and the Fund’s reduction of leverage in response to higher collateral requirements imposed by the major rating agencies had a negative effect on
absolute performance. Relative to its Lipper peers, the Fund gained from both maintaining leverage and focusing on higher-quality sectors and structures, which
benefited most during the sharp rally in 2009. Conversely, the Fund’s cash position hurt performance during the period.

The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These
views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging

The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and NAV of their
Common Shares. However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest
rate environments.

The Funds may utilize leverage through borrowings, the issuance of
Preferred Shares or by entering into reverse repurchase agreements. In
general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the cost of
assets to be obtained from leverage will be based on short-term interest
rates, which normally will be lower than the income earned by each Fund
on its longer-term portfolio investments. To the extent that the total assets
of each Fund (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in
higher-yielding portfolio investments, each Fund’s Common Shareholders
will benefit from the incremental net income.

The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from lever-
age is paid to Common Shareholders in the form of dividends, and the
value of these portfolio holdings is reflected in the per share NAV of each
Fund’s Common Shares. However, in order to benefit Common Shareholders,
the yield curve must be positively sloped; that is, short-term interest rates
must be lower than long-term interest rates. If the yield curve becomes
negatively sloped, meaning short-term interest rates exceed long-term
interest rates, income to Common Shareholders will be lower than if the
Funds had not used leverage.

To illustrate these concepts, assume a Fund’s Common Shares capitalization
is $100 million and it borrows and/or issues Preferred Shares for an addi-
tional $50 million, creating a total value of $150 million available for invest-
ment in long-term securities. If prevailing short-term interest rates are 3%
and long-term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive
slope. In this case, the Fund pays interest expense and/or dividends on
the $50 million of Preferred Shares based on the lower short-term interest
rates. At the same time, the securities purchased by the Fund with assets
received from the borrowings and/or issuance of Preferred Shares can earn
income based on long-term interest rates. In this case, the interest expense
and/or dividends paid to Preferred Shareholders are significantly lower
than the income earned on the Fund’s long-term investments, and there-
fore the Common Shareholders are the beneficiaries of the incremental
net income.

If short-term interest rates rise, narrowing the differential between short-
term and long-term interest rates, the incremental net income pickup on
the Common Shares will be reduced or eliminated completely. Furthermore,
if prevailing short-term interest rates rise above long-term interest rates of
6%, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case, the Fund pays divi-
dends on the higher short-term interest rates whereas the Fund’s total port-
folio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates.

Furthermore, the value of a Fund’s portfolio investments generally varies
inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors
can influence the value of portfolio investments. In contrast, the redemption
value of the Funds’ borrowings and/or Preferred Shares does not fluctuate
in relation to interest rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influ-
ence the Funds’ NAV positively or negatively in addition to the impact on
Fund performance from leverage from borrowings.

The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased income to the
Funds and Common Shareholders, but as described above, it also creates
risks as short- or long-term interest rates fluctuate. Leverage also will gener-
ally cause greater changes to each Fund’s NAV, market price and dividend
rates than a comparable portfolio without leverage. If the income derived
from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the
cost of leverage, each Fund’s net income will be greater than if leverage had
not been used. Conversely, if the income from the securities purchased is
not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, each Fund’s net income will be
less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount available
for distribution to shareholders will be reduced. Each Fund may be required
to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values in
order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of lever-
age or as required by the terms of leverage instruments which may cause
a Fund to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit each Fund’s ability to
invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strate-
gies, such as in the case of certain restrictions imposed by ratings agencies
that rate Preferred Shares issued by each Fund. Each Fund will incur
expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by
the Common Shareholders and may reduce income on the Common Shares.

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, BGT is permitted to borrow
through a credit facility up to 33 1 / 3 % of its total managed assets and the
Funds are permitted to issue Preferred Shares in an amount of up to 50%
of their total managed assets at the time of issuance. Under normal cir-
cumstances, each Fund anticipates that the total economic leverage from
Preferred Shares, reverse repurchase agreements and credit facility borrow-
ings will not exceed 50% of its total managed assets at the time such lever-
age is incurred. As of October 31, 2009, the Funds had economic leverage
from Preferred Shares, reverse repurchase agreements and/or credit facility
borrowings as a percentage of their total managed assets as follows:

  Percent of 
  Leverage 
PSW  32% 
PSY  30% 
BPP  29% 
BTZ  31% 
BGT  19% 

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Funds may invest in various derivative instruments, including financial
futures contracts, swaps, foreign currency exchange contracts and options,
as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which consti-
tute forms of economic leverage. Such instruments are used to obtain
exposure to a market without owning or taking physical custody of securi-
ties or to hedge market, equity, credit, interest rate and/or foreign currency
exchange rate risks. Such derivative instruments involve risks, including the
imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative instrument and the
underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction
and illiquidity of the derivative instrument. Each Fund’s ability to success-

fully use a derivative instrument depends on the investment advisor’s
ability to accurately predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be
assured. The use of derivative instruments may result in losses greater than
if they had not been used, may require the Funds to sell or purchase port-
folio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values, may limit the
amount of appreciation the Funds can realize on an investment or may
cause the Funds to hold a security that they might otherwise sell. The
Funds’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the
Notes to Financial Statements.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust I, Inc. (formerly BlackRock
Preferred and Corporate Income Strategies Fund, Inc.) (“PSW”), BlackRock
Credit Allocation Income Trust II, Inc. (formerly BlackRock Preferred Income
Strategies Fund, Inc.) (“PSY”) and BlackRock Enhanced Capital and
Income Fund, Inc. (“CII”) are registered as diversified, closed-end manage-
ment investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the “1940 Act”). BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust III
(formerly BlackRock Preferred Opportunity Trust) (“BPP”), BlackRock Credit
Allocation Income Trust IV (formerly BlackRock Preferred and Equity
Advantage Trust) (“BTZ”) and BlackRock Floating Rate Income Trust (for-
merly BlackRock Global Floating Rate Income Trust) (“BGT”) are registered
as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies under
the 1940 Act. PSW, PSY and CII are organized as Maryland corporations.
BPP, BTZ and BGT are organized as Delaware statutory trusts. PSW, PSY,
BPP, BTZ, CII and BGT are collectively referred to as the “Funds” or individu-
ally as the “Fund.” The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in con-
formity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America, which may require the use of management accruals and esti-
mates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Board of Directors
and Board of Trustees of the Funds, as applicable, are referred to throughout
this report as the “Board of Directors” or the “Board.” The Funds determine
and make available for publication the net asset value of their Common
Shares on a daily basis.

CII Reorganization: The Board and the shareholders of each of BlackRock
Enhanced Equity Yield Fund, Inc. (“EEF”), BlackRock Enhanced Equity Yield
and Premium Fund, Inc. (“ECV”) (the “Target Funds”) and CII approved the
reorganization of each Target Fund into CII (the “Reorganizations”). The Reor-
ganizations were tax-free events and were effective as of the opening for
business of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on November 3, 2008.

Target Funds        Acquiring Fund 
EEF        CII 
ECV        CII 
Under the agreement and plan of reorganization between each Target 
Fund and CII, the shares of each Target Fund (“Target Fund Shares”) were 
exchanged for CII shares. The conversion ratios for Target Fund Shares 
were as follows:         
EEF/CII        0.80653563 
ECV/CII        0.81144752 
The net assets of CII before and after the Reorganizations and CII shares 
issued and Target Fund Shares redeemed in connection with the Reorgani- 
zations were as follows:       
  Net Assets  Net Assets    Target Funds 
Acquiring  After the  Prior to the    Shares 
Fund  Reorganizations  Reorganizations  Shares Issued  Redeemed 
CII  $591,399,963  $170,431,810  30,542,706  37,766,622 

Included in the net assets acquired by CII were the following components: 
Target  Paid-In  Realized  Net Unrealized   
Funds  Capital  Loss  Depreciation  Net Assets 
EEF  $329,483,362  $(16,478,636)  $(80,066,510)  $232,938,216 
ECV  $270,207,354  $(15,306,983)  $(66,870,434)  $188,029,937 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by 
the Funds:         

Valuation: The Funds value their bond investments on the basis of last avail-
able bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing
services selected under the supervision of each Fund’s Board. Floating rate
loan interests are valued at the mean of the bid prices from one or more
brokers or dealers as obtained from a pricing service. In determining the
value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain informa-
tion with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from deal-
ers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various
relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated
yield measures based on valuation technology commonly employed in the
market for such investments. Swap agreements are valued utilizing quotes
received daily by the Funds’ pricing service or through brokers, which are
derived using daily swap curves and trades of underlying securities. Invest-
ments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value
each business day. Short-term securities with maturities less than 60 days
may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Funds
value their investments in the Cash Sweep Series of BlackRock Liquidity
Series, LLC at fair value, which is ordinarily based upon their pro rata own-
ership in the net assets of the underlying fund.

Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign curren-
cies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates determined as
of the close of business on the NYSE. Foreign currency exchange contracts
are valued at the mid between the bid and ask prices and are determined
as of the close of business on the NYSE. Interpolated values are derived
when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quo-
tations are not available.

Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the
NASDAQ Global Market System are valued at the last reported sale price
that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity
investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale
price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity
investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no
sales on that day are valued at the last available bid (long positions) or
ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s
price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior day’s price no
longer reflects the fair value of the security.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and
ask prices at the close of the options market in which the options trade. An
exchange-traded option for which there is no mean price is valued at the
last bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price
is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that
such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the option. Over-
the-counter (“OTC”) options are valued by an independent pricing service
or through brokers using a mathematical model which incorporates a

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

number of market data factors, such as the trades and prices of the
underlying instruments.

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a
price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the
market value of such investment or is not available, the investment will be
valued by a method approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair
Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the invest-
ment advisor and/or sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that each
Fund 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 the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor
deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported
to the Board or a committee thereof.

Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each
day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. The values
of such instruments used in computing the net assets of each Fund are
determined as of such times. Occasionally, events affecting the values of
such instruments may occur between the times at which they are deter-
mined and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in
the computation of each Fund’s net assets. If events (for example, a com-
pany announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during
such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such instru-
ments, those instruments may be Fair Value Assets and be valued at their
fair value as determined in good faith by the Board or by the investment
advisor using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the Board.

Foreign Currency Transactions: Foreign currency amounts are translated
into United States dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of invest-
ment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange; and
(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at
the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Funds report foreign currency related transactions as components of
realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such compo-
nents are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Capital Trusts and Trust Preferreds: These securities are typically issued by
corporations, generally in the form of interest-bearing notes with preferred
securities characteristics, or by an affiliated business trust of a corporation,
generally in the form of beneficial interests in subordinated debentures or
similarly structured securities. The securities can be structured as either
fixed or adjustable coupon securities that can have either a perpetual or
stated maturity date. Dividends can be deferred without creating an event
of default or acceleration, although maturity cannot take place unless all
cumulative payment obligations have been met. The deferral of payments
does not affect the purchase or sale of these securities in the open market.
Payments on these securities are treated as interest rather than dividends
for Federal income tax purposes. These securities can have a rating that is
slightly below that of the issuing company’s senior debt securities.

Preferred Stock: Certain Funds may invest in preferred stocks. Preferred
stock has a preference over common stock in liquidation (and generally

in receiving dividends as well) but is subordinated to the liabilities of the
issuer in all respects. As a general rule, the market value of preferred stock
with a fixed dividend rate and no conversion element varies inversely with
interest rates and perceived credit risk, while the market price of convert-
ible preferred stock generally also reflects some element of conversion
value. Because preferred stock is junior to debt securities and other obli-
gations of the issuer, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer will
cause greater changes in the value of a preferred stock than in a more
senior debt security with similar stated yield characteristics. Unlike interest
payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if
declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be
subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.

Floating Rate Loan Interests: Certain Funds may invest in floating rate
loans, which are generally non-investment grade, made by banks, other
financial institutions, and privately and publicly offered corporations.
Floating rate loans are senior in the debt structure of a corporation.
Floating rate loans generally pay interest at rates that are periodically
determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. The
base lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate offered by one or
more European banks, such as LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate),
(ii) the prime rate offered by one or more US banks or (iii) the certificate
of deposit rate. The Funds consider these investments to be investments
in debt securities for purposes of their investment policies.

The Funds earn and/or pay facility and other fees on floating rate loans.
Other fees earned/paid include commitment, amendment, consent and
prepayment penalty fees. Facility, commitment and amendment fees are
typically amortized over the term of the loan. Consent fees and various
other fees are recorded as income. Prepayment penalty fees are recorded
as realized gains. When a Fund buys a floating rate loan it may receive a
facility fee and when it sells a floating rate loan it may pay a facility fee. On
an ongoing basis, the Funds may receive a commitment fee based on the
undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a floating rate
loan. In certain circumstances, the Funds may receive a prepayment
penalty fee upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan by a borrower.
Other fees received by the Funds may include covenant waiver fees and
covenant modification fees.

The Funds may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan. A different
series or tranche may have varying terms and carry different associated risks.

Floating rate loans are usually freely callable at the issuer’s option. The
Funds may invest in such loans in the form of participations in loans
(“Participations”) and assignments of all or a portion of loans from third
parties. Participations typically will result in the Funds having a contractual
relationship only with the lender, not with the borrower. The Funds will have
the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it
is entitled only from the lender selling the Participation and only upon
receipt by the lender of the payments from the borrower.

In connection with purchasing Participations, the Funds generally will have
no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan

48 ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

agreement relating to the loans, nor any rights of offset against the borrower,
and the Funds may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the
loan in which it has purchased the Participation.

As a result, the Funds will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and
the lender that is selling the Participation. The Funds’ investments in loan
participation interests involve the risk of insolvency of the financial interme-
diaries who are parties to the transactions. In the event of the insolvency of
the lender selling the Participation, the Funds may be treated as a general
creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any offset between the
lender and the borrower.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements: Certain Funds may enter into reverse
repurchase agreements with qualified third party broker-dealers. In a
reverse repurchase agreement, the Funds sell securities to a bank or bro-
ker-dealer and agree to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed
upon date and price. Interest on the value of the reverse repurchase agree-
ments issued and outstanding is based upon competitive market rates
determined at the time of issuance. The Funds may utilize reverse repur-
chase agreements when it is anticipated that the interest income to be
earned from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater
than the interest expense of the transaction. Reverse repurchase agree-
ments involve leverage risk and also the risk that the market value of
the securities that the Funds are obligated to repurchase under the agree-
ment may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of
securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or
becomes insolvent, the Funds’ use of the proceeds from the agreement
may be restricted while the other party, or its trustee or receiver, determines
whether or not to enforce the Funds’ obligation to repurchase the securities.

Defensive Positions: Each of PSW, PSY, BPP and BTZ may vary its invest-
ment policies for temporary defensive purposes during periods in which
the investment advisor believes that conditions in the securities markets or
other economic, financial or political conditions warrant. Under such condi-
tions, the Funds for temporary defensive purposes may invest up to 100%
of its total assets in, as applicable and described in each Fund’s prospec-
tus, U.S. government securities, certificates of deposit, repurchase agree-
ments that involve purchases of debt securities, bankers’ acceptances and
other bank obligations, commercial paper, money market funds and/or
other debt securities deemed by the investment advisor to be consistent
with a defensive posture, or may hold its assets in cash.

Zero-Coupon Bonds: Certain Funds may invest in zero-coupon bonds, which
are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not
provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may experience
greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obligations
which provide for regular interest payments.

Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and
the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) require that a Fund either deliver collateral or segregate assets in
connection with certain investments (e.g., written options, foreign currency
exchange contracts, financial futures contracts and swaps), or certain bor-
rowings (e.g., reverse repurchase agreements and loan payable) each Fund

will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by
the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or
other liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount
that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore,
based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third
party broker-dealers, each party has requirements to deliver/deposit secu-
rities as collateral for certain investments.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting
purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the trans-
actions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on
investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Divi-
dend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends from foreign
securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently
recorded when the Funds have determined the ex-dividend date. Interest
income is recognized on the accrual basis. The Funds amortize all premiums
and discounts on debt securities. Upon notification from issuers, some of
the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may
be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or
realized gain. Consent fees are compensation for agreeing to changes in
the terms of debt instruments and are included in interest income in the
Statements of Operations.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are
declared and paid monthly (quarterly for CII). Distributions of capital gains
are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. If the total dividends and distribu-
tions made in any tax year exceeds net investment income and accumu-
lated realized capital gains, a portion of the total distribution may be
treated as a tax return of capital.

Income Taxes: It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies
and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders.
Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Under the applicable
foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends
and capital gains at various rates.

Each Fund files US federal and various state and local tax returns. No
income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations
on PSW’s and PSY’s US federal tax returns remains open for the four years
ended October 31, 2009. The statute of limitations on BPP’s, CII’s and BGT’s
US federal tax returns remains open for the two years ended December 31,
2007, the period ended October 31, 2008 and year ended October 31,
2009. The statute of limitations on BTZ’s US Federal tax returns remains
open for the two years ended October 31, 2009 and the period ended
October 31, 2007. The statutes of limitations on the Funds’ state and
local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon
the jurisdiction.

Recent Accounting Standards: In June 2009, amended guidance was
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board for transfers of finan-
cial assets. This guidance is intended to improve the relevance, representa-
tional faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting

ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009 49


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial
assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial perform-
ance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in
transferred financial assets. The amended guidance is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15,
2009. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement
provisions of this guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or
after the effective date. Additionally, the enhanced disclosure provisions of
the amended guidance should be applied to transfers that occurred both
before and after the effective date of this guidance. The impact of this
guidance on the Funds’ financial statements and disclosures, if any, is
currently being assessed.

Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent
Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by
each Fund’s Board, non-interested Directors or Trustees (“Independent
Directors or Trustees”) may defer a portion of their annual complex-wide
compensation. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though
equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of other
certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Directors
or Trustees. This has approximately the same economic effect for the
Independent Directors or Trustees as if the Independent Directors or
Trustees had invested the deferred amounts directly in other certain
BlackRock Closed-End Funds.

The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations there-
under represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of
each Fund. Each Fund may, however, elect to invest in common shares of
other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent
Directors or Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obliga-
tions. Investments to cover each Fund’s deferred compensation liability,
if any, are included in other assets in the Statements of Assets and
Liabilities. Dividends and distributions from the BlackRock Closed-End
Fund investments under the plan are included in income-affiliated in
the Statements of Operations.

Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Other
operating expenses shared by several funds are pro rated among those
funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
Pursuant to the terms of the custody agreement, custodian fees may be
reduced by amounts calculated on uninvested cash balances, which are
shown in the Statements of Operations as fees paid indirectly.

2. Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Funds may engage in various portfolio investment strategies both to
increase the returns of the Funds and to economically hedge, or protect,
their exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate
risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. Losses may arise if the value
of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of
the underlying security or if the counterparty does not perform under the
contract. The Funds may mitigate counterparty risk through master net-
ting agreements included within an International Swaps and Derivatives
Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreement between a Fund and each
of its counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement allows each Fund to
offset with its counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ pay-
ables and/or receivables with collateral held with each counterparty. The

amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is based
upon minimum transfer amounts of up to $500,000. To the extent amounts
due to the Funds from their counterparties are not fully collateralized con-
tractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty
non-performance. See Note 1 “Segregation and Collateralization” for addi-
tional information with respect to collateral practices.

The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-
the-counter derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized gain in excess
of any collateral pledged by the counterparty to the Funds. For over-the-
counter purchased options, the Funds bear the risk of loss in the amount
of the premiums paid and change in market value of the options should
the counterparty not perform under the contracts. Options written by the
Funds do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as written options obli-
gate the Funds to perform and not the counterparty. Certain ISDA Master
Agreements allow counterparties to over-the-counter derivatives to termi-
nate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Fund’s net assets
decline by a stated percentage or a Fund fails to meet the terms of its
ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate pay-
ment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. Counterparty risk related
to exchange-traded financial futures contracts and options is minimal
because of the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on
which they trade.

Financial Futures Contracts: Certain Funds may purchase or sell financial
futures contracts and options on financial futures contracts to gain expo-
sure to, or economically hedge against, changes in the value of interest
rates (interest rate risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange
rate risk). Financial futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of
securities at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Pursuant
to the contract, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an
amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such
receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recognized by
the Funds as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the
Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the
value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time
it was closed. The use of financial futures contracts involves the risk of an
imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of financial futures
contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Certain Funds may enter into foreign
currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific
transactions or portfolio positions (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A
foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties
to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Foreign
currency exchange contracts, when used by a Fund, help to manage the
overall exposure to the currency backing some of the investments held by
a Fund. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market
value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the con-
tract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the differ-
ence between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the
time it was closed. The use of foreign currency exchange contracts involves
the risk that counterparties may not meet the terms of the agreement or
unfavorable movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the
US dollar.

50 ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Options: Certain Funds may purchase and write call and put options to
increase or decrease their exposure to underlying instruments. A call option
gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy,
and obligates the seller to sell (when the option is exercised), the underly-
ing instrument at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time dur-
ing the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and
obligates the writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise price
at any time or at a specified time during the option period. When a Fund
purchases (writes) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid
(received) by a Fund is reflected as an asset (liability). The amount of the
asset (liability) is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current
market value of the option purchased (written). When an instrument is
purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium
paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the instru-
ment acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the instru-
ment sold. When an option expires (or a Fund enters into a closing
transaction), a Fund realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of
the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the
closing transaction exceeds the premium received or paid). When a Fund
writes a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that a Fund holds
the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counter-
party, or cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation. When a Fund
writes a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient
to cover the obligation.

In purchasing and writing options, a Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable
change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that a Fund
may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid mar-
ket. Exercise of a written option could result in a Fund purchasing or selling
a security at a price different from the current market value. The Funds may
execute transactions in both listed and OTC options.

Swaps: Certain Funds may enter into swap agreements, in which a Fund
and a counterparty agree to make periodic net payments on a specified
notional amount. These periodic payments received or made by the Funds
are recorded in the Statements of Operations as realized gains or losses,
respectively. Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are
recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). When the swap is ter-
minated, the Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference
between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the
Fund’s basis in the contract, if any. Swap transactions involve, to varying
degrees, elements of interest rate, credit and market risk in excess of the
amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks
involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agree-
ments, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its

obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual
terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in
interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions.

Credit default swaps — Certain Funds may enter into credit default
swaps to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the
market, to reduce their risk exposure to defaults of corporate and/or
sovereign issuers or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign
issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed (credit risk). The Funds
enter into credit default agreements to provide a measure of protection
against the default of an issuer (as buyer of protection) and/or gain
credit exposure to an issuer to which it is not otherwise exposed (as
seller of protection). The Funds may either buy or sell (write) credit
default swaps on single-name issuers (corporate or sovereign) or
traded indexes. Credit default swaps on single-name issuers are agree-
ments in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in
consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific pay-
ment should a negative credit event take place (e.g., bankruptcy, failure
to pay, obligation accelerators, repudiation, moratorium or restructur-
ing). Credit default swaps on traded indexes are agreements in which
the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration
for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific payment should a
write-down, principal or interest shortfall or default of all or individual
underlying securities included in the index occurs. As a buyer, if an
underlying credit event occurs, the Funds will either receive from the
seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver
the referenced security or underlying securities comprising of an index
or receive a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of
the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securi-
ties comprising of an index. As a seller (writer), if an underlying credit
event occurs the Funds will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the
notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced secu-
rity or underlying securities comprising of an index or pay a net settle-
ment of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery
value of the security or underlying securities comprising of an index.

Interest rate swaps — Certain Funds may enter into interest rate swaps
to manage duration, the yield curve or interest rate risk by economically
hedging the value of the fixed rate bonds which may decrease when
interest rates rise (interest rate risk). Interest rate swaps are agreements
in which one party pays a floating rate of interest on a notional princi-
pal amount and receives a fixed rate of interest on the same notional
principal amount for a specified period of time. In more complex swaps,
the notional principal amount may decline (or amortize) over time.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions
with Affiliates:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) and Bank of America
Corporation (“BAC”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc.
(“BlackRock”). BAC became a stockholder of BlackRock following its
acquisition of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) on January 1,
2009. Prior to that date, both PNC and Merrill Lynch were considered
affiliates of the Funds under the 1940 Act. Subsequent to the acquisition,
PNC remains an affiliate, but due to the restructuring of Merrill Lynch’s
ownership interest of BlackRock, BAC is not deemed to be an affiliate
under the 1940 Act.

Each Fund entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock
Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Funds’ investment advisor, an indirect,
wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and
administration services.

The Manager is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio
and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain

other services necessary to the operations of the Funds. For such services,
each Fund pays the Manager a monthly fee at the following annual rates of
each Fund’s average daily (weekly for BPP, BTZ and BGT) net assets (includ-
ing any assets attributable to borrowings or the proceeds from the issuance
of Preferred Shares) minus the sum of liabilities (other than borrowings
representing financial leverage) as follows:

PSW  0.60% 
PSY  0.60% 
BPP  0.65% 
BTZ  0.65% 
CII  0.85% 
BGT  0.75% 

The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment
advisory fees or other expenses on BGT as a percentage of its average weekly
net assets as follows: 0.20% for the first six years of the Fund’s operations
(through August 30, 2010), 0.10% in year seven (through August 30, 2011)
and 0.05% in year eight (through August 30, 2012). For the year ended
October 31, 2009, the Manager waived $706,594, which is included in
fees waived by advisor in the Statements of Operations.

52 ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009


Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 
The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive its advisory fees by the amount 
of investment advisory fees each Fund pays to the Manager indirectly through 
its investment in affiliated money market funds. These amounts are included 
in fees waived by advisor in the Statements of Operations as follows: 
PSW    $14,003 
PSY    $14,491 
BPP    $21,506 
BTZ    $95,646 
CII    $ 7,172 
BGT    $ 2,448 
The Manager has entered into a separate sub-advisory agreement with 
BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”), an affiliate of the Manager, 
with respect to PSW, PSY, BPP, BTZ and BGT. BFM and BlackRock Invest- 
ment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Manager, serve as sub- 
advisors for CII. The Manager pays the sub-advisors for services they pro- 
vide, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fees 
paid by each Fund to the Manager.     
For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Funds reimbursed the Manager for 
certain accounting services, which are included in accounting services in

5. Commitments:           
BGT invests in floating rate loans. In connection with these investments, 
the Fund may, with its Manager, also enter into unfunded corporate loans 
(“commitments”). Commitments may obligate the Fund to furnish temporary 
financing to a borrower until permanent financing can be arranged. In con- 
nection with these commitments, the Fund earns a commitment fee, typi- 
cally set as a percentage of the commitment amount. Such fee income, 
which is classified in the Statements of Operations as facility and other 
fees, is recognized ratably over the commitment period. As of October 31, 
2009, the Fund had the following unfunded loan commitments: 
          Value of 
    Underlying    Underlying 
    Commitment    Loan 
    (000)    (000) 
Delphi Acquisition Holding IBV    $368    $306 
NVT Networks LLC Exit Term Loan    $ 50    $ 51 
Smurfit-Stone Container Enterprises, Inc.,         
   U.S. Term Loan Debtor in Possession  $910    $900 
6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:       
PSY, BPP and BTZ invest a significant portion of their assets in securities 
in the financials sector and BGT invests a significant portion of its assets 
in securities in the media sector. Please see the Schedules of Investments 
for these securities. Changes in economic conditions affecting the finan- 
cials and media sectors would have a greater impact on the respective 
Funds and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in 
such securities.           
In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter 
into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market 
risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (credit 
risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to 

ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009 53


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securi-
ties are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy;
overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or eco-
nomic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations.
Similar to credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or
the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open trans-
actions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds
to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash
due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and
counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by
their value recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less
any collateral held by the Funds.

7. Capital Share Transactions:

PSW, PSY and CII are authorized to issue 200 million of $0.10 par value
shares, all of which initially were classified as Common Shares. The Boards
of PSW and PSY are authorized to classify and reclassify any unissued
shares. In this regard, the Boards of PSW and PSY have reclassified 5,460
and 22,000 shares, respectively, of unissued shares as Preferred Shares.
There are an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares authorized for
BPP, BTZ and BGT.

Common Shares       
At October 31, 2009, the shares owned by an affiliate of the Manager of 
the Funds were as follows:       
      Shares 
PSW      7,656 
PSY      7,927 
BTZ      4,817 
CII      23,362 
BGT      8,239 
Shares issued and outstanding during the years ended October 31, 2009 
and October 31, 2008 for PSW and PSY and the year ended October 31, 
2009, the period January 1, 2008 to October 31, 2008 and the year ended 
December 31, 2007 for BPP, CII and BGT increased by the following 
amounts as a result of dividend reinvestment:     
  October 31,  October 31,  December 31, 
  2009  2008  2007 
PSW  20,060    N/A 
PSY  200,878    N/A 
BPP  76,154  5,794  30,981 
CII  221,870     
BGT      42,574 
Shares issued and outstanding remained constant for BTZ for the years 
ended October 31, 2009 and October 31, 2008.     

For the year ended October 31, 2009, shares issued and outstanding for
CII increased 30,542,706 as a result of a reorganization as discussed in
Note 1 “CII Reorganization”.

Preferred Shares

The Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of each Fund, in whole
or in part, on any dividend payment date at $25,000 per share plus any
accumulated or unpaid dividends whether or not declared. The Preferred
Shares are also subject to mandatory redemption at their liquidation pref-

erence plus any accumulated or unpaid dividends, whether or not declared,
if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and liabili-
ties of the Fund, as set forth in the Fund’s Statement of Preferences/Articles
Supplementary (“Governing Instrument”), as applicable, are not satisfied.

From time to time in the future, the Funds that have issued Preferred
Shares may effect repurchases of such shares at prices below their liquida-
tion preferences as agreed upon by the Funds and seller. The Funds also
may redeem such shares from time to time as provided in the applicable
Governing Instrument. The Funds intend to effect such redemptions and/or
repurchases to the extent necessary to maintain applicable asset coverage
requirements or for such other reasons as the Board may determine.

The holders of Preferred Shares have voting rights equal to the holders of
Common Shares (one vote per share) and will vote together with holders
of Common Shares (one vote per share) as a single class. However, holders
of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, are also entitled to elect
two Directors/Trustees for each Fund. In addition, the 1940 Act requires
that along with approval by shareholders that might otherwise be required,
the approval of the holders of a majority of any outstanding Preferred
Shares, voting separately as a class would be required to (a) adopt any
plan of reorganization that would adversely affect the Preferred Shares,
(b) change a Fund’s subclassification as a closed-end investment com-
pany or change its fundamental investment restrictions or (c) change its
business so as to cease to be an investment company.

PSW, PSY, BPP, BTZ and BGT had the following series of Preferred Shares 
outstanding, effective yields and reset frequency as of October 31, 2009:

Dividends on seven-day and 28-day Preferred Shares are cumulative at a
rate that is reset every seven or 28 days, respectively, based on the results
of an auction. If the Preferred Shares fail to clear the auction on an auction
date, the affected Fund is required to pay the maximum applicable rate on
the Preferred Shares to holders of such shares for successive dividend
periods until such time as the shares are successfully auctioned. The maxi-
mum applicable rate on Preferred Shares are as follows: for PSW, PSY and
BGT, the higher of 125% times or 1.25% plus the Telerate/BBA LIBOR rate;
for BPP 150% of the interest equivalent of the 30-day commercial paper
rate and for BTZ, the higher of 150% times or 1.25% plus the Telerate/BBA

54 ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009

LIBOR rate. The low, high and average dividend rates for the year ended 
October 31, 2009, were as follows:       
  Series  Low  High  Average 
PSW  M7  1.48%  3.39%  1.62% 
  T7  1.48%  3.34%  1.63% 
PSY  M7  1.48%  3.39%  1.63% 
  T7  1.48%  3.34%  1.63% 
  W7  1.47%  3.27%  1.63% 
  TH7  1.47%  2.89%  1.62%

  W7  1.47%  3.27%  1.66% 
  R7  1.47%  2.89%  1.64% 

Since February 13, 2008, the Preferred Shares of the Funds failed to clear
any of their auctions. As a result, the Preferred Shares dividend rates were
reset to the maximum applicable rate, which ranged from 0.20% to 5.76%.
A failed auction is not an event of default for the Funds but it has a nega-
tive impact on the liquidity of Preferred Shares. A failed auction occurs
when there are more sellers of a fund’s auction rate preferred shares than
buyers. It is impossible to predict how long this imbalance will last. A suc-
cessful auction for the Funds’ Preferred Shares may not occur for some time,
if ever, and even if liquidity does resume, Preferred Shareholders may not
have the ability to sell the Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference.

The Funds may not declare dividends or make other distributions on
Common Shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the
declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the
outstanding Preferred Shares is less than 200%.

Prior to December 22, 2008, the Funds paid commissions to certain
broker-dealers at the end of each auction at an annual rate of 0.25%,
calculated on the aggregate principal amount. On December 22, 2008,
commissions paid to broker-dealers on Preferred Shares that experience a
failed auction were reduced to 0.15% on the aggregate principal amount.
Subsequently, certain broker-dealers have individually agreed to further
reduce commissions for failed auctions. The Funds will continue to pay
commissions of 0.25% on the aggregate principal amount of all shares
that successfully clear their auctions. MLPF&S earned commissions for the
period November 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008 (after which time Merrill
Lynch was no longer considered an affiliate) as follows:

  Commissions 
PSW  $14,200 
PSY  $42,997 
BPP  $13,434 
BTZ  $41,221 
BGT  $ 683 
During the year ended October 31, 2009 the Funds announced the follow- 
ing redemptions, as of the date indicated, of Preferred Shares at a price of 
$25,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the 
redemption dates:

ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009 55


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

All of the Funds, except BGT, financed the Preferred Share redemptions
with cash received from reverse repurchase agreements. BGT financed the
Preferred Share redemptions with cash received from a loan.

Preferred Shares issued and outstanding for the year ended December 31,
2007 for BGT and BPP remained constant.

8. Borrowings:

On May 16, 2008, BGT renewed its revolving credit and security Agreement
(“Citicorp Agreement”) pursuant to a commercial paper asset securitization
program with Citicorp North America, Inc. (“Citicorp”), as Agent, certain sec
ondary backstop lenders and certain asset securitization conduits, as
lenders (the “Lenders”). The agreement was renewed for one year and at
the time of renewal had a maximum limit of $190 million.

Under the Citicorp Agreement, the conduits funded advances to the Fund
through the issuance of highly rated commercial paper. The Fund had
granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets to, and in favor
of, the Lenders as security for its obligations to the Lenders. The interest
rate on the Fund’s borrowings was based on the interest rate carried by
commercial paper plus a program fee. Effective December 5, 2008, the
Fund renegotiated certain terms of the Citicorp Agreement and reduced
the commitment amount to $134 million.

On March 5, 2009, BGT terminated its revolving credit agreement with
Citicorp and entered into a senior committed secured, 364-day revolving

line of credit and a separate security agreement with State Street Bank
and Trust Company (“SSB”). The SSB line of credit provides the Fund with
a maximum commitment of $134 million. The Fund has granted a security
interest in substantially all of its assets to SSB.

Advances are made by SSB to BGT at BGT’s option at either (a) the higher
of 1.00% above the Fed Effective Rate or 1.00% above the Overnight LIBOR
Rate and (b) 1.00% above 7-day, 30-day, or 60-day LIBOR Rate. In addi-
tion, BGT pays a facility fee and a commitment fee based upon SSB’s total
commitment to BGT. The fees associated with each of the agreements are
included in the Statements of Operations as borrowing costs. Advances to
BGT as of October 31, 2009 are shown in the Statements of Assets and
Liabilities as loan payable. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the daily
weighted average interest rate was 2.15%.

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, BGT may not declare divi-
dends or make other distributions on Common Shares if, at the time of the
declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the
outstanding indebtedness is less than 300%.

For the year ended October 31, 2009, the daily weighted average interest
rates for Funds with reverse repurchase agreements were as follows:

PSW  1.93% 
PSY  1.45% 
BPP  2.38% 
BTZ  2.33% 

9. Income Tax Information:

Reclassifications: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to
reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The
following permanent differences as of October 31, 2009 attributable to accounting for swap agreements, the classification of investments, foreign currency
transactions and non-deductible expenses were reclassified to the following accounts:

    PSW  PSY  BPP  BTZ  CII  BGT 
Paid-in capital      $ (3,858)      $ (7,879)   
Undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income  $ (254,371)  $ (1,436,139)  $ (3,866,202)  $ (1,415,793)  $ 7,879  $ (3,185,823) 
Accumulated net realized loss    $ 254,371  $ 1,439,997  $ 3,866,202  $ 1,415,793    $ 3,185,823 
The tax character of distributions paid during the periods ended October 31, 2009 and 2008 for all Funds and December 31, 2007 for BPP, CII and BGT 
were as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded)           
As of October 31, 2009, the tax components of accumulated net losses were as follows:         
    PSW  PSY  BPP  BTZ  CII  BGT 
Capital loss carryforwards    $(127,842,748)  $(447,757,170)  $(185,378,942)  $(387,036,152)  $(106,212,859)  $ (73,270,778) 
Net unrealized losses*    (13,773,056)  (85,650,823)  (34,137,626)  (95,975,896)  (83,448,589)  (41,417,420)

* The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized losses were attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the amortization methods for premi- 
       ums and discounts on fixed income securities, the accrual of income on securities in default, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/(losses) on certain futures and 
foreign currency contracts, the timing and recognition of partnership income, the accounting for swap agreements, the deferral of compensation to trustees and directors, the classi- 
       fication of investments and other temporary differences.             
As of October 31, 2009, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates:

years in the period ended December 31, 2007. We have also audited the
accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of BlackRock Credit
Allocation Income Trust IV (formerly BlackRock Preferred and Equity
Advantage Trust), including the schedule of investments, as of October 31,
2009, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended,
the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the two years
in the period ended October 31, 2009, and for the period December 27,
2006 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 2007. We have also

ments, as of October 31, 2009, and the related statement of operations
for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the

31, 2008, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2007, and for the period April 30, 2004 (commencement of operations) to

tions and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes

period ended December 31, 2007, and for the period August 30, 2004
(commencement of operations) to December 31, 2004. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trusts’ man-
agement. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial high-
lights of BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust I, Inc. and BlackRock
Credit Allocation Income Trust II, Inc., for the year ended October 31, 2005
were audited by other auditors whose report, dated December 9, 2005,
expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of
material misstatement. The Trusts are not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform an audit of their internal control over financial report-
ing. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Trusts’ internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and signifi-
cant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. Our procedures include confirmation of
the securities owned as of October 31, 2009, by correspondence with the
custodian and financial intermediaries; where replies were not received
from financial intermediaries, we performed other auditing procedures. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust I, Inc. and BlackRock Credit
Allocation Income Trust II, Inc., the results of their operations for the year
then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in
the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four
years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Additionally, in our
opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BlackRock
Credit Allocation Income Trust III, the results of its operations for the year
then ended, the changes in its net assets for the year then ended,
for the period January 1, 2008 to October 31, 2008, and for the year

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements

The Board of Directors or the Board of Trustees, as the case may be, (each,
a “Board” and, collectively, the “Boards,” and the members of which are
referred to as “Board Members”) of each of BlackRock Credit Allocation
Income Trust I, Inc. (formerly BlackRock Preferred and Corporate Income
Strategies Fund, Inc.) (“PSW”), BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust
II, Inc. (formerly BlackRock Preferred Income Strategies Fund, Inc.) (“PSY”),
BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust III (formerly BlackRock Preferred
Opportunity Trust) (“BPP”), BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust IV (for-
merly BlackRock Preferred and Equity Advantage Trust) (“BTZ”), BlackRock
Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. (“CII”) and BlackRock Floating
Rate Income Trust (“BGT,” and together with PSW, PSY, BPP, BTZ, and CII,
each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) met on April 14, 2009,
May 28 – 29, 2009 and August 25 – 26, 2009 to consider the approval
of its respective Fund’s investment advisory agreement (each, an “Advisory
Agreement”) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), each Fund’s
investment advisor. The Board of each of PSW, PSY, BPP, BTZ, CII and BGT
also considered the approval of a sub-advisory agreement (each, a “Sub-
Advisory Agreement”) among its respective Fund, the Manager and one
or both of the following sub-advisors, as the case may be: BlackRock
Financial Management, Inc.; and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC
(each, a “Sub-Advisor”). The Manager and the Sub-Advisors are referred
to herein as “BlackRock.” The Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory
Agreements are referred to herein as the “Agreements.” Unless otherwise
indicated, references to actions taken by the “Board” or the “Boards” shall
mean each Board acting independently with respect to its Fund.

Activities and Composition of the Boards

Each Board consists of twelve individuals, ten of whom are not “interested
persons” of the Funds as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”). The
Board Members of each Fund are responsible for the oversight of the oper-
ations of such Fund and perform the various duties imposed on the direc-
tors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board
Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in con-
nection with their duties. The Chairman of each Board is an Independent
Board Member. Each Board has established five standing committees: an
Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance
Committee, a Performance Oversight Committee and an Executive
Committee, each of which is composed of Independent Board Members
(except for the Executive Committee, which has one interested Board
Member) and is chaired by an Independent Board Member. In addition,
the Boards of certain of the Funds have established an Ad Hoc Committee
on Auction Market Preferred Shares.

The Agreements

Pursuant to the 1940 Act, each Board is required to consider the continuation
of the Agreements on an annual basis. In connection with this process, each
Board assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the
services provided to its respective Fund by the personnel of BlackRock and its
affiliates, including investment management, administrative and shareholder
services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services and
assistance in meeting applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Throughout the year, the Boards, acting directly and through their commit-
tees, consider at each of their meetings factors that are relevant to their
annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements, including the
services and support provided by BlackRock to the Funds and their share-
holders. Among the matters the Boards considered were: (a) investment
performance for one-, three- and five-year periods, as applicable, against
peer funds, and applicable benchmarks, if any, as well as senior manage-
ment and portfolio managers’ analysis of the reasons for any out perform-
ance or underperformance against its peers; (b) fees, including advisory
and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by the Funds for
services such as call center and fund accounting; (c) the Funds’ operating
expenses; (d) the resources devoted to, and compliance reports relating to,
the Funds’ investment objectives, policies and restrictions; (e) the Funds’
compliance with their Code of Ethics and compliance policies and proce-
dures; (f) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management
services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates; (g) BlackRock’s and other
service providers’ internal controls; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the
proxy voting policies approved by the Board; (i) execution quality of port-
folio transactions and, as applicable, the use of brokerage commissions;
(j) BlackRock’s implementation of the Funds’ valuation and liquidity proce-
dures; and (k) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business.

Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements

The Approval Process: Prior to the April 14, 2009 meeting, each Board
requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements.
Each Board is engaged in an ongoing process with BlackRock to continu-
ously review the nature and scope of the information provided to better
assist their deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the
April meeting included (a) information independently compiled and pre-
pared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on Fund fees and expenses, and the invest-
ment performance of each Fund as compared with a peer group of funds
as determined by Lipper and, where applicable, a customized peer group
selected by BlackRock (collectively, “Peers”); (b) information on the profit-
ability of the Agreements to BlackRock and a discussion of fall-out benefits
to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders; (c) a general
analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment advisory fees charged
to other clients, such as institutional clients and open-end funds, under
similar investment mandates, as well as the performance of such other
clients; (d) the impact of economies of scale; (e) a summary of aggregate
amounts paid by each Fund to BlackRock; and (f) an internal comparison
of management fees classified by Lipper, if applicable.

At an in-person meeting held on April 14, 2009, each Board reviewed
materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the
discussions that occurred during the April 14, 2009 meeting, the Boards
presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional informa-
tion and BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written
information in advance of the May 28 – 29, 2009 Board meeting.

At an in-person meeting held on May 28 – 29, 2009, the Boards of each
of BGT, BPP, BTZ and CII, including the Independent Board Members, unani-
mously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (continued)

Manager and such Fund and the Sub-Advisory Agreement among such
Fund, the Manager and the Sub-Advisor(s), as applicable, each for a one-
year term ending June 30, 2010. The Boards considered all factors they
believed relevant with respect to the Funds, including, among other factors:
(a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock;
(b) the investment performance of the Fund and BlackRock portfolio man-
agement; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to
be realized by BlackRock and certain affiliates from their relationship with
the Fund; (d) economies of scale; and (e) other factors.

Each Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the
approval process, such as services related to the valuation and pricing
of its respective Fund’s portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to
BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders from their relation
ship with such Fund and advice from independent legal counsel with
respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Board’s
review. The Boards noted the willingness of BlackRock personnel to engage
in open, candid discussions with the Boards. The Boards did not identify
any particular information as controlling, and each Board Member may
have attributed different weights to the various items considered.

At the in-person meeting held on May 28 – 29, 2009, the Boards of each
of PSY and PSW held extended discussions of the long- and short-term
performance of PSY and PSW and the future prospects for the investment
policies of such Funds with respect to investing in primarily preferred
stocks. At such meeting, the Boards of each of PSY and PSW approved
the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and
each such Fund and the Sub-Advisory Agreement among such Fund, the
Manager and the Sub-Advisor(s) on an interim basis for a three-month
period ended September 30, 2009. In taking such action, the Boards of
each of PSY and PSW noted that the interim approval of the Agreements
was intended to allow and encourage BlackRock to explore various alter-
natives for the future management of PSY and PSW, and to report back to
the Boards with recommendations at the Boards’ next regularly scheduled
in-person meetings.

At an in-person meeting of the Boards of each of PSY and PSW on
August 25 – 26, 2009, BlackRock recommended changing certain
investment policies of PSY and PSW by removing their non-fundamental
investment policies requiring that they invest at least 80% of their respec-
tive assets in preferred securities and adopting a new non-fundamental
policy requiring that PSY and PSW invest at least 80% of their respective
total assets in credit-related securities, including, but not limited to,
investment grade corporate bonds, high yield bonds, bank loans, preferred
securities or convertible bonds or derivatives with economic characteristics
similar to these credit-related securities. As a result of these investment
policy amendments, PSY and PSW were proposed to be renamed
BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust I, Inc. and BlackRock Credit
Allocation Income Trust II, Inc., respectively, to reflect their new
portfolio characteristics.

After considering BlackRock’s proposed changes for PSY and PSW and
recalling their deliberations with respect to PSY and PSW at the April
and May Board meetings, the Board of each such Fund, including the

Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of
the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and such Fund and the Sub-
Advisory Agreement among such Fund, the Manager and the Sub-Advisor(s),
each for a nine-month term ending June 30, 2010.

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services: Each Board, including its
Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of
services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services
and the resulting performance of its respective Fund. Throughout the year,
each Board compared its respective Fund’s performance to the perform-
ance of a comparable group of closed-end funds, and the performance of
a relevant benchmark, if any. The Boards met with BlackRock’s senior man-
agement personnel responsible for investment operations, including the
senior investment officers. Each Board also reviewed the materials provided
by its respective Fund’s portfolio management team discussing such Fund’s
performance and such Fund’s investment objective, strategies and outlook.

Each Board considered, among other factors, the number, education and
experience of BlackRock’s investment personnel generally and its respective
Fund’s portfolio management team, investments by portfolio managers in the
funds they manage, BlackRock’s portfolio trading capabilities, BlackRock’s
use of technology, BlackRock’s commitment to compliance and BlackRock’s
approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research,
advisory and management personnel. Each Board also reviewed a general
description of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to its
respective Fund’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s ability
to attract and retain high-quality talent.

In addition to advisory services, each Board considered the quality of the
administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to its respec-
tive Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders provide
the Funds with certain administrative and other services (in addition to any
such services provided to the Funds by third parties) and officers and other
personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Funds. In addition to
investment advisory services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Funds
with other services, including (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as
the prospectus and the statement of additional information in connection
with the initial public offering and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) prepar-
ing communications with analysts to support secondary market trading of
the Funds; (iii) assisting with daily accounting and pricing; (iv) preparing
periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; (v) overseeing and
coordinating the activities of other service providers; (vi) organizing Board
meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (vii) pro-
viding legal and compliance support; and (viii) performing other adminis-
trative functions necessary for the operation of the Funds, such as tax
reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements, and call center services.
The Boards reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund adminis-
tration, accounting, legal and compliance departments and considered
BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applica-
ble laws and regulations.

B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and BlackRock: Each Board,
including its Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered
the performance history of its respective Fund. In preparation for the April 14,

ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009 61


Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (continued)

2009 meeting, the Boards were provided with reports, independently pre-
pared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of each Fund’s
performance. The Boards also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis
of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed various
factors that affect Lipper’s rankings. In connection with its review, each
Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment per-
formance of its respective Fund as compared to a representative group
of similar funds as determined by Lipper and to all funds in such Fund’s
applicable Lipper category and, where applicable, a customized peer group
selected by BlackRock. Each Board was provided with a description of the
methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds. Each Board regularly
reviews the performance of its respective Fund throughout the year.

The Board of BTZ noted that, in general, BTZ performed better than its Peers
in that the performance of BTZ was at or above the median of its customized
Lipper peer group in both the one-year and since inception periods reported.

The Board of CII noted that, in general, CII performed better than its Peers
in that the performance of CII was at or above the median of its Lipper
Performance Universe in two of the one-year, three-year and since incep-
tion periods reported.

The Board of BGT noted that, in general, BGT performed better than its
Peers in that the performance of BGT was at or above the median of its
Lipper Performance Universe in each of the one-year, three-year and since
inception periods reported.

The Board of each of PSW, PSY, and BPP noted that PSW, PSY, and BPP
performed below the median of their respective customized Lipper peer
group in the one-, three- and five-year periods reported. The Board of
each of PSW, PSY, and BPP, and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for PSW’s,
PSY’s, and BPP’s underperformance during these periods compared with
their respective Peers. Each Board was informed that, among other things,
PSW’s, PSY’s, and BPP’s respective underweight position to retail preferreds
negatively impacted each such Fund.

For PSW, PSY and BPP, the Board of each respective Fund and BlackRock
discussed BlackRock’s commitment to providing the resources necessary
to assist the portfolio managers and to improve each such Fund’s per-
formance, including the changes to PSW’s and PSY’s non-fundamental
investment policies.

C. Consideration of the Advisory Fees and the Cost of the Services
and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their
Relationship with the Funds: Each Board, including its Independent
Board Members, reviewed its respective Fund’s contractual advisory fee
rates compared with the other funds in its respective Lipper category.
Each Board also compared its respective Fund’s total expenses, as well
as actual management fees, to those of other comparable funds. Each
Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by
BlackRock to other types of clients with similar investment mandates,
including separately managed institutional accounts.

The Boards received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s
financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided
the Funds. The Boards were also provided with a profitability analysis that

detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for
services provided to the Funds. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitabil-
ity with respect to the Funds and other funds the Boards currently oversee
for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to available aggregate
profitability data provided for the year ended December 31, 2007. The
Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to other fund com-
plexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Boards reviewed
BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the
profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among
various advisory products. The Boards recognized that profitability may be
affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers by
the Manager, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and busi-
ness mix, and therefore comparability of profitability is somewhat limited.

The Boards noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability
of other advisors is not publicly available. Nevertheless, to the extent such
information is available, the Boards considered BlackRock’s overall operat-
ing margin, in general, compared to the operating margin for leading invest-
ment management firms whose operations include advising closed-end
funds, among other product types. The comparison indicated that operating
margins for BlackRock with respect to its registered funds are generally
consistent with margins earned by similarly situated publicly traded com-
petitors. In addition, the Boards considered, among other things, certain
third-party data comparing BlackRock’s operating margin with that of other
publicly-traded asset management firms, which concluded that larger asset
bases do not, in themselves, translate to higher profit margins.

In addition, the Boards considered the cost of the services provided to the
Funds by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating to the
management and distribution of the Funds and the other funds advised by
BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of their analysis, the Boards reviewed
BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the
Funds. The Boards also considered whether BlackRock has the financial
resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment manage-
ment personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to con-
tinue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Boards.

The Boards of each of BGT, BPP, BTZ, CII, PSY and PSW noted that its
respective Fund paid contractual management fees, which do not take into
account any expense reimbursement or fee waivers, lower than or equal to
the median contractual management fees paid by such Fund’s Peers.

D. Economies of Scale: Each Board, including its Independent Board
Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be
realized as the assets of its respective Fund increase and whether there
should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable
such Fund to participate in these economies of scale, for example through
the use of breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the assets of such
Fund. The Boards considered that the funds in the BlackRock fund complex
share some common resources and, as a result, an increase in the overall
size of the complex could permit each fund to incur lower expenses than
it would otherwise as a stand-alone entity. The Boards also considered
BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and
improve the quality of, its operations.

62 ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009


Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements (concluded)

The Boards noted that most closed-end fund complexes do not have fund
level breakpoints because closed-end funds generally do not experience
substantial growth after the initial public offering and each fund is man-
aged independently, consistent with its own investment objectives. The
Boards noted that only one closed-end fund in the Fund Complex has
breakpoints in its fee structure. Information provided by Lipper also
revealed that only one closed-end fund complex used a complex-level
breakpoint structure.

E. Other Factors: The Boards also took into account other ancillary or “fall-
out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates and significant shareholders
may derive from their relationship with the Funds, both tangible and intan-
gible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals
who manage other portfolios, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the
investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affili-
ates and significant shareholders as service providers to the Funds, includ-
ing for administrative and distribution services. The Boards also noted that
BlackRock may use third-party research obtained by soft dollars generated
by certain mutual fund transactions to assist itself in managing all or a
number of its other client accounts.

In connection with their consideration of the Agreements, the Boards also
received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar prac-
tices. The Boards received reports from BlackRock, which included informa-
tion on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout
the year.

Conclusion

Each Board, including its Independent Board Members, unanimously
approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between its respec-
tive Fund and the Manager for a one-year term ending June 30, 2010, in
the case of BGT, BPP, BTZ and CII, and for a three-month interim period
followed by a nine-month term ending June 30, 2010 for each of PSW
and PSY, and, where applicable, the Sub-Advisory Agreement among such
Fund, the Manager and such Fund’s Sub-Advisor(s) for a one-year term
ending June 30, 2010, in the case of BGT, BPP, BTZ and CII, and for a
three-month interim period followed by a nine-month term ending June 30,
2010 for each of PSW and PSY. Based upon its evaluation of all these fac-
tors in their totality, each Board, including its Independent Board Members,
was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable
and in the best interest of its respective Fund and its shareholders. In
arriving at a decision to approve the Agreements, each Board did not
identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling,
but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may
have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The
Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of inde-
pendent legal counsel in making this determination. The contractual fee
arrangements for each Fund reflects the results of several years of review
by such Fund’s Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and
discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board
Members) and BlackRock. Certain aspects of the arrangements may be
the subject of more attention in some years than in others, and the Board
Members’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these
arrangements in prior years.

ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009 63


Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plans

For PSW, PSY and CII

PSW, PSY and CII offer a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) under
which income and capital gains dividends paid by a Fund are automati-
cally reinvested in additional Common Shares of the Fund. The Plan is
administered on behalf of the shareholders by BNY Mellon Shareowner
Services for CII and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. for PSW and PSY
(individually, the “Plan Agent” or together, the “Plan Agents”). Under the Plan,
whenever a Fund declares a dividend, participants in the Plan will receive
the equivalent in Common Shares of the Fund. The Plan Agents will acquire
the shares for the participant’s account either (i) through receipt of addi-
tional unissued but authorized shares of the Funds (“newly issued shares”)
or (ii) by purchase of outstanding Common Shares on the open market on
the New York Stock Exchange, as applicable, or elsewhere. If, on the divi-
dend payment date, the Fund’s net asset value per share is equal to or less
than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions
(a condition often referred to as a “market premium”), the Plan Agents will
invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares. If the Fund’s net asset
value per share is greater than the market price per share (a condition often
referred to as a “market discount”), the Plan Agents will invest the dividend
amount by purchasing on the open market additional shares. If the Plan
Agents are unable to invest the full dividend amount in open market pur-
chases, or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the
purchase period, the Plan Agents will invest any uninvested portion in
newly issued shares. The shares acquired are credited to each shareholder’s
account. The amount credited is determined by dividing the dollar amount
of the dividend by either (i) when the shares are newly issued, the net
asset value per share on the date the shares are issued or (ii) when shares
are purchased in the open market, the average purchase price per share.

Participation in the Plan is automatic, that is, a shareholder is automati-
cally enrolled in the Plan when he or she purchases shares of Common
Shares of the Funds unless the shareholder specifically elects not to partici-
pate in the Plan. Shareholders who elect not to participate will receive all
dividend distributions in cash. Shareholders who do not wish to participate
in the Plan must advise their Plan Agent in writing (at the address set forth
below) that they elect not to participate in the Plan. Participation in the
Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any
time without penalty by writing to the Plan Agent.

The Plan provides an easy, convenient way for shareholders to make addi-
tional, regular investments in the Funds. The Plan promotes a long-term
strategy of investing at a lower cost. All shares acquired pursuant to the
Plan receive voting rights. In addition, if the market price plus commissions
of a Fund’s shares is above the net asset value, participants in the Plan will
receive shares of the Funds for less than they could otherwise purchase
them and with a cash value greater than the value of any cash distribution
they would have received. However, there may not be enough shares avail-
able in the market to make distributions in shares at prices below the net
asset value. Also, since the Funds do not redeem shares, the price on
resale may be more or less than the net asset value.

There are no enrollment fees or brokerage fees for participating in the
Plan. The Plan Agents’ service fees for handling the reinvestment of distri-
butions are paid for by the Funds. However, brokerage commissions may be
incurred when the Funds purchase shares on the open market and share-
holders will pay a pro rata share of any such commissions.

The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve
participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable
(or required to be withheld) on such dividends. Therefore, income and
capital gains may still be realized even though shareholders do not receive
cash. If, when the Funds’ shares are trading at a market premium, the
Funds issue shares pursuant to the Plan that have a greater fair market
value than the amount of cash reinvested, it is possible that all or a portion
of the discount from the market value (which may not exceed 5% of the
fair market value of the Funds’ shares) could be viewed as a taxable distri-
bution. If the discount is viewed as a taxable distribution, it is also possible
that the taxable character of this discount would be allocable to all the
shareholders, including shareholders who do not participate in the Plan.
Thus, shareholders who do not participate in the Plan might be required to
report as ordinary income a portion of their distributions equal to their allo-
cable share of the discount.

All correspondence concerning the Plan, including any questions about
the Plan, should be directed to the Plan Agent at the following addresses:
Shareholders of CII should contact BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, P.O.
Box 385035, Pittsburgh, PA 15252-8035 Telephone: (866) 216-0242
and shareholders of PSW and PSY should contact Computershare Trust
Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078 Telephone:
(800) 699-1BFM or overnight correspondence should be directed to the
Plan Agent at 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021.

For BPP, BTZ and BGT

Pursuant to the Plan of BPP, BTZ and BGT (the “Funds”), shareholders are
automatically enrolled to have all distributions of dividends and capital
gains reinvested by Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Plan Agent”)
in the respective Fund’s shares pursuant to the Plan. Shareholders who
do not 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, which serves as agent for the shareholders in administering
the Plan.

After the Funds declare a dividend or determine to make a capital gain
distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants’ account,
depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through
receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Funds (“newly issued
shares”) or (ii) by open market purchases. If, on the dividend 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 dividend amount in newly issued shares on behalf of the participants.
The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participant’s

64 ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009


Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plans (concluded)

account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend
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 dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment
date. If, on the dividend 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 dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in
open-market purchases.

The Plan Agent’s fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and
distributions will be paid by each Fund. 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 dividends and distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends
and distributions will not relieve participants of any Federal income tax
that may be payable on such dividends or distributions.

Each Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is
no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however each Fund
reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable
by the participants. Participants who 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 P.O. Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078
or by calling (800) 699-1BFM. All overnight correspondence should be
directed to the Plan Agent at 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021.

Dividend Policy

Each Fund’s, except CII’s, dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of
its net investment income to its shareholders on a monthly (quarterly for
CII) basis. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of
dividend distributions, the Funds may at times pay out less than the entire
amount of net investment income earned in any particular month/quarter
and may at times in any particular month/quarter pay out such accumu-
lated but undistributed income in addition to net investment income

earned in that month/quarter. As a result, the dividends paid by the Funds
for any particular month/quarter may be more or less than the amount
of net investment income earned by the Funds during such month/quarter.
The Funds’ current accumulated but undistributed net investment income,
if any, is disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, which com-
prises part of the financial information included in this report.

General Information

The Funds do not make available copies of their Statements of Additional
Information because the Funds’ shares are not continuously offered, which
means that the Statement of Additional Information of each Fund has not
been updated after completion of the respective Fund’s offerings and the
information contained in each Fund’s Statement of Additional Information
may have become outdated.

CII

During the period, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of CII approved a
change to the Fund’s option writing policy. The Fund has the authority to
write (i.e., sell) put options on the types of securities or instruments that
may be held by the Fund, provided that such put options are covered,
meaning that such options are secured by segregated, liquid instruments
or cash. Under the original policy, the Fund was limited from selling puts if,
as a result, more than 50% of the Fund’s assets would be required to cover
its potential obligations under its hedging and other investment transac-
tions. The Board approved the elimination of this 50% requirement. When
the Fund writes covered put options, it bears the risk of loss if the value of
the underlying stock declines below the exercise price minus the put pre-
mium. If the option is exercised, the Fund could incur a loss if it is required
to purchase the stock underlying the put option at a price greater than the
market price of the stock at the time of exercise plus the put premium the
Fund received when it wrote the option. While the Fund’s potential gain in
writing a covered put option is limited to distributions earned on the liquid
assets securing the put option plus the premium received from the pur-
chaser of the put option, the Fund risks a loss equal to the entire exercise
price of the option minus the put premium.

PSW, PSY, BPP and BTZ

On August 26, 2009, the Board of PSW, PSY, BPP and BTZ (the “Funds”)
approved a change to certain investment policies of the Funds. As a result
of these policy changes, PSY and BPP will no longer focus their investments
primarily on preferred securities and PSW will no longer focus its invest-
ments primarily on preferred securities and corporate bonds. In addition,
BTZ will no longer focus its investments primarily on preferred and equity
securities, nor will it employ an option-writing strategy in the future.
Instead, the Funds will transition to a portfolio investing in a broader
spectrum of securities across the capital structure. In addition, the
Board approved name changes for the Funds as follows:

Prior Name New Name
BlackRock Preferred and Corporate BlackRock Credit Allocation Income
Income Strategies Fund, Inc. Trust I, Inc.
BlackRock Preferred Income Strategies BlackRock Credit Allocation Income
Fund, Inc. Trust II, Inc.
BlackRock Preferred Opportunity Trust BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust III
BlackRock Preferred and Equity BlackRock Credit Allocation Income Trust IV
Advantage Trust

PSY and BPP each previously employed a non-fundamental investment pol-
icy of investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its total
assets in preferred securities. PSW previously employed a non-fundamental
investment policy of investing, under normal market conditions, at least
80% of its total assets in a portfolio of preferred securities and corporate
debt securities. In addition, PSW employed a policy of investing, under
normal market conditions, at least 65% of its total assets in preferred
securities and up to 35% of its total assets in debt securities. BTZ previ-
ously employed a non-fundamental investment policy of investing, under
normal market conditions, at least 80% of its total assets in preferred and
equity securities and derivatives with economic characteristics similar to
individual or groups of equity securities. For each Fund, its non-fundamen-
tal policy has been revised to allow the Fund to invest, under normal mar-
ket conditions, at least 80% of its total assets in credit-related securities,
including, but not limited to, investment grade corporate bonds, high yield
bonds, bank loans, preferred securities or convertible bonds or derivatives
with economic characteristics similar to these credit-related securities.

The Board has taken these actions in response to the current and prospec-
tive market environment for preferred securities. BlackRock and the Board
believe the amended policies will better position each Fund to achieve its
investment objective and are in the best interests of the Funds’ sharehold-
ers. The approved changes will not alter the Funds’ investment objectives
and each Fund will continue to be managed in accordance with its invest-
ment objective of primarily providing shareholders with current income and
secondarily providing shareholders with capital appreciation.

In addition to the foregoing, the Board also approved changes to each
Fund’s restriction on credit quality of eligible investments. Previously, each
Fund was restricted to investing, under normal market conditions, no more
than 20% of its total assets in securities rated below investment grade at
the time of purchase. The amended policy allows each Fund to invest,
under normal market conditions, without limitation in securities rated below
investment grade at the time of purchase. While this policy affords each
Fund additional flexibility to invest in securities rated below investment
grade at the time of purchase, it is anticipated, under current market con-
ditions, that the Fund will maintain an average credit quality of at least
investment grade.

BlackRock anticipates that it will gradually reposition each Fund’s portfolio
over time and that during such period the Fund may continue to hold a
substantial portion of its assets in preferred securities, corporate bonds
and/or equity securities, as applicable. At this time, it is uncertain how long
the repositioning may take, and the Fund may continue to be subject to

risks associated with investing a substantial portion of its assets in pre-
ferred securities until the repositioning is complete.

The Fund’s Investments

Following the transition, each Fund will invest at least 80% of its total
assets in credit-related securities, including, but not limited to, the follow-
ing types of investments:

Corporate Bonds — The Funds may invest in corporate bonds. The invest-
ment return of corporate bonds reflects interest on the security and
changes in the market value of the security. The market value of a
corporate bond generally may be expected to rise and fall inversely with
interest rates. The market value of a corporate bond also may be affected
by the credit rating of the corporation, the corporation’s performance and
perceptions of the corporation in the market place. There is a risk that
the issuers of the securities may not be able to meet their obligations on
interest or principal payments at the time called for by an instrument.

Below Investment Grade Securities — Though the Funds’ portfolios are
expected to maintain an average credit quality of at least investment grade
quality, the Fund may have a portion of its assets invested in securities
rated below investment grade, such as those rated Ba or lower by Moody’s
and BB or lower by S&P or Fitch or securities comparably rated by other
rating agencies, or in unrated securities determined by BlackRock Advisors,
LLC (the “Manager”) to be of comparable quality. Securities rated Ba by
Moody’s are judged to have speculative elements, their future cannot be
considered as well assured and often the protection of interest and princi-
pal payments may be very moderate. Securities rated BB by S&P or Fitch
are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics and, while
such obligations have less near-term vulnerability to default than other
speculative grade debt, they face major ongoing uncertainties or exposure
to adverse business, financial or economic conditions which could lead to
inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments.
Securities rated C are regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever
attaining any real investment standing. Securities rated D are in default
and the payment of interest and/or repayment of principal is in arrears.
When the Manager believes it to be in the best interests of the Funds’ share-
holders, the Funds will reduce their investment in lower grade securities.

Bank Loans — The Fund may invest in bank loans denominated in US and
foreign currencies that are originated, negotiated and structured by a syn-
dicate of lenders (“Co-Lenders”) consisting of commercial banks, thrift
institutions, insurance companies, financial companies or other financial
institutions one or more of which administers the security on behalf of the
syndicate (the “Agent Bank”). Co-Lenders may sell such securities to third
parties called “Participants.” The Fund may invest in such securities either
by participating as a Co-Lender at origination or by acquiring an interest
in the security from a Co-Lender or a Participant (collectively, “Participation
Interests”). Co-Lenders and Participants interposed between the Fund and
the corporate borrower (the “Borrower”), together with Agent Banks, are
referred herein as “Intermediate Participants.” The Fund also may purchase a
participation interest in a portion of the rights of an Intermediate Participant,
which would not establish any direct relationship between the Fund and
the Borrower. In such cases, the Fund would be required to rely on the

Intermediate Participant that sold the participation interest not only for
the enforcement of the Fund’s rights against the Borrower but also for the
receipt and processing of payments due to the Fund under the security.
Because it may be necessary to assert through an Intermediate Participant
such rights as may exist against the Borrower, in the event the Borrower
fails to pay principal and interest when due, the Fund may be subject to
delays, expenses and risks that are greater than those that would be
involved if the Fund could enforce its rights directly against the Borrower.
Moreover, under the terms of a Participation Interest, the Fund may be
regarded as a creditor of the Intermediate Participant (rather than of the
Borrower), so that the Fund may also be subject to the risk that the Inter-
mediate Participant may become insolvent. Similar risks may arise with
respect to the Agent Bank if, for example, assets held by the Agent Bank
for the benefit of the Fund were determined by the appropriate regulatory
authority or court to be subject to the claims of the Agent Bank’s creditors.
In such case, the Fund might incur certain costs and delays in realizing
payment in connection with the Participation Interest or suffer a loss of
principal and/or interest. Further, in the event of the bankruptcy or insol-
vency of the Borrower, the obligation of the Borrower to repay the loan may
be subject to certain defenses that can be asserted by such Borrower as a
result of improper conduct by the Agent Bank or Intermediate Participant.

Convertible Bonds — The Fund may invest in convertible bonds. A convertible
bond is a bond that may be converted into or exchanged for a prescribed
amount of common stock or other equity security of the same or a different
issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or formula. A
convertible bond entitles the holder to receive interest paid or accrued on
debt until the convertible bond matures or is redeemed, converted or
exchanged. Before conversion, convertible bonds have characteristics simi-
lar to nonconvertible income securities in that they ordinarily provide a sta-
ble stream of income with generally higher yields than those of common
stocks of the same or similar issuers, but lower yields than comparable
nonconvertible bonds. The value of a convertible bond is influenced by
changes in interest rates, with investment value declining as interest rates
increase and increasing as interest rates decline. The credit standing of the
issuer and other factors also may have an effect on the convertible bond’s
investment value. Convertible bonds rank senior to common stock in a cor-
poration’s capital structure but are usually subordinated to comparable
nonconvertible bonds. Convertible bonds may be subject to redemption at
the option of the issuer at a price established in the convertible bond’s
governing instrument.

Credit Derivatives — The Fund may engage in credit derivative transactions.
There are two broad categories of credit derivatives: default price risk
derivatives and market spread derivatives. Default price risk derivatives are
linked to the price of reference securities or loans after a default by the
issuer or borrower, respectively. Market spread derivatives are based on the
risk that changes in market factors, such as credit spreads, can cause a
decline in the value of a security, loan or index. There are three basic trans-
actional forms for credit derivatives: swaps, options and structured instru-
ments. The Fund may use credit default swaps. A credit default swap is an
agreement between two counterparties that allows one counterparty (the
“seller”) to purchase or be “long” a third party’s credit risk and the other
party (the “buyer”) to sell or be “short” the credit risk. Typically, the seller

ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009 71


Additional Information (continued)

General Information (continued)

agrees to make regular fixed payments to the buyer with the same fre-
quency as the underlying reference bond. In exchange, the seller typically
has the right upon default of the underlying bond to put the bond to the
buyer in exchange for the bond’s par value plus interest. Credit default
swaps can be used as a substitute for purchasing or selling a credit secu-
rity and sometimes are preferable to actually purchasing the security. The
Fund does not intend to leverage its investments through the use of credit
default swaps. A purchaser of a credit default swap is subject to counter-
party risk. The Fund will monitor any such swaps or derivatives with a view
towards ensuring that the Fund remains in compliance with all applicable
regulatory, investment policy and tax requirements.

Risks

As a result of the Fund’s portfolio restructuring and revisions to certain of
its non-fundamental investment policies, your investment in the Fund will
be subject to the following additional risks following the transition:

Credit Risk — Credit risk is the risk that one or more debt securities in the
Fund’s portfolio will decline in price or fail to pay interest or principal when
due because the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial
status. If the recent adverse conditions in the credit markets adversely
affect the broader economy, the credit quality of issuers of credit securities
in which the Fund may invest would be more likely to decline, all other
things being equal. While a senior position in the capital structure of a bor-
rower may provide some protection with respect to the Fund’s investments
in senior secured floating rate and fixed rate loans or debt, losses may still
occur. To the extent the Fund invests in below investment grade securities, it
will be exposed to a greater amount of credit risk than a Fund which invests
in investment grade securities. The prices of lower grade securities are more
sensitive to negative developments, such as a decline in the issuer’s rev-
enues or a general economic downturn, than are the prices of higher grade
securities. Securities of below investment grade quality are predominantly
speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay
principal when due and therefore involve a greater risk of default. In addi-
tion, the Fund’s use of credit derivatives will expose it to additional risk in
the event that the bonds underlying the derivatives default.

Interest Rate Risk — The value of certain debt securities in the Fund’s port-
folio could be affected by interest rate fluctuations. When interest rates
decline, the value of fixed rate securities can be expected to rise. Con-
versely, when interest rates rise, the value of fixed rate securities can be
expected to decline. Recent adverse conditions in the credit markets may
cause interest rates to rise. Although changes in prevailing interest rates
can be expected to cause some fluctuations in the value of floating rate
securities (due to the fact that rates only reset periodically), the values of
these securities are substantially less sensitive to changes in market inter-
est rates than fixed rate instruments. Fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s
securities will not affect interest income on existing securities, but will be
reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. The Fund may utilize certain strate-
gies, including taking positions in futures or interest rate swaps, for the pur-
pose of reducing the interest rate sensitivity of the portfolio and decreasing
the Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk, although there is no assurance
that it will do so or that such strategies will be successful.

Prepayment Risk — During periods of declining interest rates, borrowers
may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled. For
fixed rate securities, such payments often occur during periods of declin-
ing interest rates, forcing the Fund to reinvest in lower yielding securities,
resulting in a possible decline in the Fund’s income and distributions to
shareholders. This is known as prepayment or “call” risk. Below investment
grade securities frequently have call features that allow the issuer to redeem
the security at dates prior to its stated maturity at a specified price (typi-
cally greater than par) only if certain prescribed conditions are met (“call
protection”). An issuer may redeem a below investment grade security if,
for example, the issuer can refinance the debt at a lower cost due to declin-
ing interest rates or an improvement in the credit standing of the issuer.
Certain of the Fund’s investments will not have call protection. For premium
bonds (bonds acquired at prices that exceed their par or principal value)
purchased by the Fund, prepayment risk may be enhanced.

Below Investment Grade Risk — The Fund may invest a substantial portion
of its assets in fixed income securities that are rated below investment
grade, which are commonly referred to as “junk bonds” and are regarded
as predominately speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay
interest and repay principal.

Lower grade securities may be particularly susceptible to economic down-
turns. It is likely that a prolonging of the current economic recession or a
future economic recession could disrupt severely the market for such secu-
rities and may have an adverse impact on the value of such securities. In
addition, it is likely that any such continuing or future economic downturn
could adversely affect the ability of the issuers of such securities to repay
principal and pay interest thereon and increase the incidence of default for
such securities.

Lower grade securities, though high yielding, are characterized by high risk.
They may be subject to certain risks with respect to the issuing entity and
to greater market fluctuations than certain lower yielding, higher rated
securities. The retail secondary market for lower grade securities may be
less liquid than that for higher rated securities. Adverse conditions could
make it difficult at times for the Fund to sell certain securities or could
result in lower prices than those used in calculating the Fund’s net asset
value. Because of the substantial risks associated with investments in lower
grade securities, you could lose money on your investment in common
shares of the Fund, both in the short-term and the long-term.

Bank Loan Risk — As in the case of junk bonds, bank loans may be rated
in lower grade rating categories, or may be unrated but of lower grade qual-
ity. As in the case of junk bonds, bank loans can provide higher yields than
higher grade income securities, but are subject to greater credit and other
risks. Although bank loan obligations often are secured by pledges of
assets by the borrower and have other structural aspects intended to pro-
vide greater protection to the holders of bank loans than the holders of
unsecured and subordinated securities, there are also additional risks in
holding bank loans. In particular, the secondary trading market for bank
loans is not well developed, and therefore, bank loans present increased
market risk relating to liquidity and pricing concerns. In addition, there is

General Information (concluded)

no assurance that the liquidation of the collateral would satisfy the claims
of the borrower’s obligations in the event of the nonpayment of scheduled
interest or principal, or that the collateral could be readily liquidated. As
a result, the Fund might not receive payments to which it is entitled and
thereby may experience a decline in the value of its investment and its
net asset value.

Convertible Bonds Risk — Although to a lesser extent than with fixed-income
securities, the market value of convertible bonds tends to decline as inter-
est rates increase and, conversely, tends to increase as interest rates
decline. In addition, because of the conversion feature, the market value
of convertible bonds tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of
the underlying common stock. A unique feature of convertible bonds is that
as the market price of the underlying common stock declines, convertible
bonds tend to trade increasingly on a yield basis, and so may not experi-
ence market value declines to the same extent as the underlying common
stock. When the market price of the underlying common stock increases,
the prices of the convertible bonds tend to rise as a reflection of the value
of the underlying common stock. While no securities investments are with-
out risk, investments in convertible bonds generally entail less risk than
investments in common stock of the same issuer.

Credit Derivatives Risk — The use of credit derivatives is a highly specialized
activity which involves strategies and risks different from those associated
with ordinary portfolio security transactions. If the Manager is incorrect in its
forecasts of default risks, market spreads or other applicable factors, the
investment performance of the Fund would diminish compared with what it
would have been if these techniques were not used. Moreover, even if the
Manager is correct in its forecasts, there is a risk that a credit derivative posi-
tion may correlate imperfectly with the price of the asset or liability being
protected. The Fund’s risk of loss in a credit derivative transaction varies with
the form of the transaction. For example, if the Fund purchases a default
option on a security, and if no default occurs with respect to the security, the
Fund’s loss is limited to the premium it paid for the default option. In con-
trast, if there is a default by the grantor of a default option, the Fund’s loss
will include both the premium that it paid for the option and the decline in
value of the underlying security that the default option protected.

Other than the revisions discussed above, there were no material changes
in the Funds’ investment objectives or policies or to the Funds’ charters or
by-laws that were not approved by the shareholders or in the principal risk
factors associated with investment in the Funds. There have been no
changes in the persons who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day
management of the Funds’ portfolios.

BGT

During the period, the Board of BGT approved a change to the Fund’s name
from “BlackRock Global Floating Rate Income Trust” to “BlackRock Floating
Rate Income Trust.”

Each Fund estimates that it has distributed more than the amount of earned income and net realized gains; 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 the shareholder’s investment in a Fund is returned to the shareholder. 
A return of capital does not necessarily reflect a Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income.

74 ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2009



This report is transmitted to shareholders only. It is not a prospectus. Past performance results shown in this report should not be considered a representation
of future performance. PSW, PSY, BPP, BTZ and BGT leverage their Common Shares, which creates risk for Common Shareholders, including the likelihood of
greater volatility of net asset value and market price of Common Shares, and the risk that fluctuations in short-term interest rates may reduce the Common
Shares’ yield. Statements and other information herein are as dated and are subject to change.



Item 2 – Code of Ethics – The registrant (or the “Fund”) has adopted a code of ethics, as of the end of the
period covered by this report, applicable to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal
financial officer and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions. During
the period covered by this report, there have been no amendments to or waivers granted under the
code of ethics. A copy of the code of ethics is available without charge at www.blackrock.com.

Item 3 – Audit Committee Financial Expert – The registrant’s board of directors or trustees, as applicable
(the “board of directors”) has determined that (i) the registrant has the following audit committee
financial experts serving on its audit committee and (ii) each audit committee financial expert is
independent:
Kent Dixon
Frank J. Fabozzi
James T. Flynn
W. Carl Kester
Karen P. Robards
Robert S. Salomon, Jr. (retired effective December 31, 2008)

The registrant’s board of directors has determined that W. Carl Kester and Karen P. Robards qualify
as financial experts pursuant to Item 3(c)(4) of Form N-CSR.

Prof. Kester has a thorough understanding of generally accepted accounting principles, financial
statements and internal control over financial reporting as well as audit committee functions. Prof.
Kester has been involved in providing valuation and other financial consulting services to corporate
clients since 1978. Prof. Kester’s financial consulting services present a breadth and level of
complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of
issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the registrant’s financial statements.

Ms. Robards has a thorough understanding of generally accepted accounting principles, financial
statements and internal control over financial reporting as well as audit committee functions. Ms.
Robards has been President of Robards & Company, a financial advisory firm, since 1987. Ms.
Robards was formerly an investment banker for more than 10 years where she was responsible for
evaluating and assessing the performance of companies based on their financial results. Ms.
Robards has over 30 years of experience analyzing financial statements. She also is a member of
the audit committee of one publicly held company and a non-profit organization.

Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial expert will
not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section
11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee
financial expert. The designation or identification as an audit committee financial expert does not
impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and
liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the
absence of such designation or identification.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
The registrant’s audit committee (the “Committee”) has adopted policies and procedures with
regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to
the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee
also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services
provided to the registrant’s affiliated service providers that relate directly to the operations and the
financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes
are a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services
that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the
Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). The
term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the
Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant
which have a direct impact on the operation or financial reporting of the registrant will only be
deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to
the registrant or $50,000 for all of the registrants the Committee oversees. For this purpose,
multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost
levels.
Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-
approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g.,
unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved
subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this
meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee
may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to approve the provision of and fees for
any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved
cost levels.

(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the audit
committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not Applicable

(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit
services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any non-affiliated
sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by
the registrant’s investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not
pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with
maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 5 – Audit Committee of Listed Registrants – The following individuals are members of the registrant’s

(a) The registrant’s Schedule of Investments is included as part of the Report to Stockholders filed
under Item 1 of this form.
(b) Not Applicable due to no such divestments during the semi-annual period covered since the
previous Form N-CSR filing.

Item 7 – Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment
Companies – The board of directors has delegated the voting of proxies for the Fund securities to the
Fund’s investment adviser (“Investment Adviser”) pursuant to the Investment Adviser’s proxy
voting guidelines. Under these guidelines, the Investment Adviser will vote proxies related to Fund
securities in the best interests of the Fund and its stockholders. From time to time, a vote may
present a conflict between the interests of the Fund’s stockholders, on the one hand, and those of the
Investment Adviser, or any affiliated person of the Fund or the Investment Adviser, on the other. In
such event, provided that the Investment Adviser’s Equity Investment Policy Oversight Committee,
or a sub-committee thereof (the “Oversight Committee”) is aware of the real or potential conflict or
material non-routine matter and if the Oversight Committee does not reasonably believe it is able to
follow its general voting guidelines (or if the particular proxy matter is not addressed in the
guidelines) and vote impartially, the Oversight Committee may retain an independent fiduciary to
advise the Oversight Committee on how to vote or to cast votes on behalf of the Investment
Adviser’s clients. If the Investment Adviser determines not to retain an independent fiduciary, or
does not desire to follow the advice of such independent fiduciary, the Oversight Committee shall
determine how to vote the proxy after consulting with the Investment Adviser’s Portfolio
Management Group and/or the Investment Adviser’s Legal and Compliance Department and
concluding that the vote cast is in its client’s best interest notwithstanding the conflict. A copy of the


Fund’s Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures are attached as Exhibit 99.PROXYPOL. Information on
how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period
ended June 30 is available without charge, (i) at www.blackrock.com and (ii) on the SEC’s website
at http://www.sec.gov.

Item 8 – Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies – as of October 31, 2009.

(a)(1) The registrant (or “Fund”) is managed by a team of investment professionals led by John
Burger, Managing Director at BlackRock. Mr. Burger is a member of BlackRock’s fixed
income portfolio management group and is primarily responsible for the day-to-day
management of the registrant’s portfolio and the selection of its investments. Mr. Burger has
been a member of the registrant’s portfolio management team since 2006.

             (iv) Potential Material Conflicts of Interest       

BlackRock and its affiliates (collectively, herein “BlackRock”) has built a professional working
environment, firm-wide compliance culture and compliance procedures and systems designed to
protect against potential incentives that may favor one account over another. BlackRock has adopted
policies and procedures that address the allocation of investment opportunities, execution of
portfolio transactions, personal trading by employees and other potential conflicts of interest that are
designed to ensure that all client accounts are treated equitably over time. Nevertheless, BlackRock
furnishes investment management and advisory services to numerous clients in addition to the Fund,
and BlackRock may, consistent with applicable law, make investment recommendations to other
clients or accounts (including accounts which are hedge funds or have performance or higher fees
paid to BlackRock, or in which portfolio managers have a personal interest in the receipt of such
fees), which may be the same as or different from those made to the Fund. In addition, BlackRock,
its affiliates and significant shareholders and any officer, director, stockholder or employee may or
may not have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale BlackRock recommends to the
Fund. BlackRock, or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders, or any officer, director,
stockholder, employee or any member of their families may take different actions than those
recommended to the Fund by BlackRock with respect to the same securities. Moreover, BlackRock
may refrain from rendering any advice or services concerning securities of companies of which any
of BlackRock’s (or its affiliates’ or significant shareholders’) officers, directors or employees are


directors or officers, or companies as to which BlackRock or any of its affiliates or significant
shareholders or the officers, directors and employees of any of them has any substantial economic
interest or possesses material non-public information. Each portfolio manager also may manage
accounts whose investment strategies may at times be opposed to the strategy utilized for a fund. In
this connection, it should be noted that a portfolio manager may currently manage certain accounts
that are subject to performance fees. In addition, a portfolio manager may assist in managing certain
hedge funds and may be entitled to receive a portion of any incentive fees earned on such funds and
a portion of such incentive fees may be voluntarily or involuntarily deferred. Additional portfolio
managers may in the future manage other such accounts or funds and may be entitled to receive
incentive fees.

As a fiduciary, BlackRock owes a duty of loyalty to its clients and must treat each client fairly.
When BlackRock purchases or sells securities for more than one account, the trades must be
allocated in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties. BlackRock attempts to allocate
investments in a fair and equitable manner among client accounts, with no account receiving
preferential treatment. To this end, BlackRock has adopted a policy that is intended to ensure that
investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably among client accounts over time. This
policy also seeks to achieve reasonable efficiency in client transactions and provide BlackRock with
sufficient flexibility to allocate investments in a manner that is consistent with the particular
investment discipline and client base.

(a)(3) As of October 31, 2009:

Portfolio Manager Compensation Overview

BlackRock’s financial arrangements with its portfolio managers, its competitive compensation and
its career path emphasis at all levels reflect the value senior management places on key resources.
Compensation may include a variety of components and may vary from year to year based on a
number of factors. The principal components of compensation include a base salary, a performance-
based discretionary bonus, participation in various benefits programs and one or more of the
incentive compensation programs established by BlackRock such as its Long-Term Retention and
Incentive Plan.

Base compensation. Generally, portfolio managers receive base compensation based on their
seniority and/or their position with the firm. Senior portfolio managers who perform additional
management functions within the portfolio management group or within BlackRock may receive
additional compensation for serving in these other capacities.

Discretionary Incentive Compensation
Discretionary incentive compensation is a function of several components: the performance of
BlackRock, Inc., the performance of the portfolio manager’s group within BlackRock, the
investment performance, including risk-adjusted returns, of the firm’s assets under management or
supervision by that portfolio manager relative to predetermined benchmarks, and the individual’s
seniority, role within the portfolio management team, teamwork and contribution to the overall
performance of these portfolios and BlackRock. In most cases, including for the portfolio managers
of the Fund, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the
performance of the Fund or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured.


BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers determine the benchmarks against which the performance of
funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager is compared and the period of time
over which performance is evaluated. With respect to the portfolio manager, such benchmarks for
the Fund include a combination of certain fund industry peer groups.

BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers make a subjective determination with respect to the
portfolio manager’s compensation based on the performance of the funds and other accounts
managed by each portfolio manager relative to the various benchmarks noted above. Performance is
measured on both a pre-tax and after-tax basis over various time periods including 1, 3, 5 and 10-
year periods, as applicable.

Distribution of Discretionary Incentive Compensation
Discretionary incentive compensation is distributed to portfolio managers in a combination of cash
and BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units which vest ratably over a number of years. The
BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units, if properly vested, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common
stock. Typically, the cash bonus, when combined with base salary, represents more than 60% of
total compensation for the portfolio managers. Paying a portion of annual bonuses in stock puts
compensation earned by a portfolio manager for a given year “at risk” based on BlackRock’s ability
to sustain and improve its performance over future periods.

Long-Term Retention and Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) — The LTIP is a long-term incentive
plan that seeks to reward certain key employees. Beginning in 2006, awards are granted under the
LTIP in the form of BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units that, if properly vested and subject to the
attainment of certain performance goals, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Mr.
Burger has received awards under the LTIP.

Deferred Compensation Program — A portion of the compensation paid to eligible
BlackRock employees may be voluntarily deferred into an account that tracks the performance of
certain of the firm’s investment products. Each participant in the deferred compensation program is
permitted to allocate his deferred amounts among the various investment options. Mr. Burger has
participated in the deferred compensation program.

Other compensation benefits. In addition to base compensation and discretionary incentive
compensation, portfolio managers may be eligible to receive or participate in one or more of the
following:

Incentive Savings Plans — BlackRock, Inc. has created a variety of incentive savings
plans in which BlackRock employees are eligible to participate, including a 401(k) plan, the
BlackRock Retirement Savings Plan (RSP), and the BlackRock Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(ESPP). The employer contribution components of the RSP include a company match equal to 50%
of the first 6% of eligible pay contributed to the plan capped at $4,000 per year, and a company
retirement contribution equal to 3-5% of eligible compensation. The RSP offers a range of
investment options, including registered investment companies managed by the firm. BlackRock
contributions follow the investment direction set by participants for their own contributions or,
absent employee investment direction, are invested into a balanced portfolio. The ESPP allows for
investment in BlackRock common stock at a 5% discount on the fair market value of the stock on


the purchase date. Annual participation in the ESPP is limited to the purchase of 1,000 shares or a
dollar value of $25,000. Each portfolio manager is eligible to participate in these plans.
