    BlackRock Announces Special Distributions Related to the Reorganization of Six Municipal Closed-End Funds

    New York, March 19, 2021 – BlackRock Advisors, LLC today announced the declaration of a special distribution for BlackRock Maryland Municipal Bond Trust (NYSE: BZM), BlackRock Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Trust (NYSE: MHE), BlackRock MuniYield Arizona Fund, Inc. (NYSE: MZA), BlackRock MuniYield Investment Fund (NYSE: MYF), BlackRock MuniEnhanced Fund, Inc. (NYSE: MEN) and BlackRock MuniYield Quality Fund, Inc. (NYSE: MQY and collectively with BZM, MHE, MZA, MYF and MEN, the “Funds,” and each, a “Fund”) in connection with the reorganizations of BZM, MHE, MZA, MYF, and MEN into MQY, with MQY continuing (the “Combined Fund”) as the surviving Fund (the “Reorganizations”).

    With respect to each of the Funds, the special distribution declared today represents undistributed net investment income earned through the effective date of the Reorganizations. In order to maintain status as a regulated investment company and to avoid the imposition of a corporate level income tax, each of BZM, MHE, MZA, MYF, and MEN are required to declare a distribution of all net investment income prior to the consummation of the Reorganizations as described below. Other than the special distribution announced today, BZM, MHE, MZA, MYF, and MEN will declare no further distributions prior to or following the Reorganizations. As this special distribution includes all net investment income earned by each Fund in earlier periods and not previously distributed, it is not indicative of the amount of the Combined Fund’s future monthly distributions.

    BZM, MHE, MZA, MYF, and MEN are declaring a special distribution that will be payable on May 3, 2021. The ex-dividend date for the distribution is April 7, 2021 and the record date is April 8, 2021. Accordingly, persons who are holders of record of BZM, MHE, MZA, MYF, or MEN common shares on April 8, 2021 should expect to receive the distribution. The distribution payable to shareholders of BZM, MHE, MZA, MYF, or MEN will be paid in cash. Common shares of BZM, MHE, MZA, MYF, or MEN acquired after April 6th, 2021 will not be entitled to the distribution.


    MQY is declaring a special distribution that will be payable on May 3, 2021. The ex-dividend date for the distribution is April 7, 2021, and the record date is April 8, 2021. Accordingly, persons who are holders of record of MQY common shares on April 8, 2021 should expect to receive the distribution. Common shares of MQY acquired after April 6th, 2021 will not be entitled to the distribution.

    Common shares of BZM, MHE, MZA, MYF, or MEN acquired after April 6th, 2021 will not be entitled to their respective special distributions and will not be eligible to receive a distribution until an initial distribution is declared on the Combined Fund after the closing of the Reorganizations. We expect that on May 3, 2021 the Combined Fund will declare its first monthly distribution payable on June 1, 2021.

    It is currently expected that the Reorganizations will be completed by the open of business on the New York Stock Exchange on April 19, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. To facilitate the Merger, all shares of BZM, MHE, MZA, MYF, and MEN will cease trading on the NYSE as of market close on Friday, April 16, 2021. Each Reorganization, if completed, would occur based on the relative net asset values of the common shares of the applicable Funds. In addition, holders of Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares (“VMTP Shares”) of each of BZM, MHE, MZA, MYF, and MEN would receive on a one-for-one basis VMTP Shares of MQY in an amount equal to the aggregate VMTP Share liquidation preference (including any accumulated and unpaid dividends) held by holders of BZM, MHE, MZA, MYF, and MEN VMTP Shares immediately prior to the Reorganizations.

    Distribution details are as follows:
