BlackRock ESG Capital Allocation Trust

Distribution Dates and Amounts Announced for Certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds

BlackRock declared October through December 2026 distributions for its closed-end funds, including a monthly distribution of $0.0986 per share for BlackRock Taxable Municipal Bond Trust (BBN), unchanged from the prior distribution. BBN's October distribution has an ex- and record date of October 15, 2026, payable October 30, 2026. Declarations now move to a quarterly schedule for added visibility, but the funds will continue paying distributions monthly. An estimated 90% of BBN's current distribution ($0.088702) is net investment income and 10% ($0.009898) is return of capital; fiscal-year-to-date distributions of $0.7888 per share were 86% income and 14% return of capital. BBN's annualized distribution rate stands at 7.20% of NAV as of 7/31/2026, while its five-year annualized total return relative to NAV is negative at 2.23%. Elsewhere in the complex, BMN raised its payout while BCAT and ECAT trimmed theirs.
