The closing of each Reorganization is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including approval by the shareholders of each BofA Fund at a joint special meeting of shareholders expected to be held in the first part of 2016. In each Reorganization, if various conditions to the closing of the Reorganization are satisfied, a BlackRock Fund will receive substantially all of the assets and assume certain of the liabilities of the BofA Fund, and BofA Fund shareholders will receive shares of the BlackRock Fund in exchange for their shares of the BofA Fund. A BofA Fund shareholder will receive shares of the BlackRock Fund with the same aggregate net asset value as the shares of the BofA Fund that such shareholder owns immediately prior to the closing of the Reorganization.  Each Reorganization is intended to be a tax-free transaction and it is anticipated that no gain or loss will be recognized by a BofA Fund or its shareholders as a result of the Reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  Additionally, BofA Fund shareholders will not incur any transaction charges as a result of the Reorganizations.

 

Each Reorganization, if it is approved by shareholders and all other conditions to the closing are satisfied, is expected to occur in the first part of 2016.  Prior to the closing of each Reorganization, BofA Fund shareholders may continue to purchase, redeem and exchange their shares subject to the limitations described in their BofA Fund’s prospectuses.

 

No shareholder action is necessary at this time. Additional information, including a description of the applicable Reorganization and information about fees, expenses, and risk factors, will be provided to shareholders of each BofA Fund in a Prospectus/Proxy Statement that is expected to be mailed in the first part of 2016. The Prospectus/Proxy Statement will provide information regarding the date, time and location of the shareholder meeting where the Reorganization will be considered.
