A Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder

Financial markets endured heightened volatility during 2007, culminating in mixed results for some of the major benchmark indexes:

Total Returns as of December 31, 2007    6-month    12-month 

 
 
U.S. equities (S&P 500 Index)    –1.37%    + 5.49% 

 
 

Small cap U.S. equities (Russell 2000 Index)    –7.53    1.57    

 
 

International equities (MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East Index)    +0.39    +11.17 

 
 
Fixed income (Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index)    +5.93    + 6.97 

 
 

Tax-exempt fixed income (Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index)    +3.22    + 3.36 

 
 

High yield bonds (Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index)    –0.67    + 2.27 

 
 


Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Index performance shown for illustrative purposes only. You cannot invest directly in an index.

Subprime mortgage woes dominated headlines for much of 2007, spawning a widespread liquidity and credit crisis with ramifications across global markets. The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) stepped in to inject liquidity into the markets and bolster investor confidence, cutting the federal funds rate by 0.50% in September, 0.25% in October and 0.25% in December, which brought the target short-term interest rate to 4.25% . In taking action, the central bankers, who had long deemed themselves inflation fighters, were seeking to stem the fallout from the credit crunch and forestall a wider economic unraveling.

Amid the volatility, equity markets displayed surprising resilience. Market fundamentals generally held firm, dividend payouts and share buybacks continued, and valuations remained attractive. To some extent, the credit turmoil dampened corporate merger-and-acquisition (M&A) activity, a key source of strength for equity markets, but 2007 remained a record year for global M&A nonetheless. As the returns indicate, the most recent six months were more trying, reflecting the slowing U.S. economy, a troubled housing market and a more difficult corporate earnings backdrop. Overall, large cap stocks outperformed small caps as investors grew increasingly risk averse. International markets fared better than their U.S. counterparts, benefiting from generally stronger economies.

In fixed income markets, mixed economic signals and subprime fallout resulted in a flight to quality. Investors shunned bonds associated with the housing and credit markets in favor of higher-quality Treasury issues. The yield on 10-year Treasury issues, which touched 5.30% in June (its highest level in five years), fell to 4.04% by year-end, while prices correspondingly rose. The tax-exempt bond market waffled amid the economic uncertainty and concerns around the credit worthiness of bond insurers, but set a new-issuance record in 2007. A drop in municipal bond prices created buying opportunities, and the heightened supply was generally well absorbed.

As you navigate the uncertainties inherent in the financial markets, we encourage you to start the year by reviewing your investment goals with your financial professional and making portfolio changes, as needed. For more reflection on 2007 and our 10 predictions for 2008, please ask your financial professional for a copy of “What’s Ahead in 2008: An Investment Perspective,” or view it online at www.blackrock.com/funds. As always, we thank you for entrusting BlackRock with your investment assets, and we look forward to continuing to serve you in the new year and beyond.

Sincerely,

4 BLACKROCK ENHANCED CAPITAL AND INCOME FUND, INC. DECEMBER 31, 2007


Additional Information About Your Investment

Effective May 2, 2007, pursuant to board approval, BlackRock Capital and Income Strategies Fund, Inc. changed its name to BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. (the “the Fund”). This change reflects the Fund's restructuring of its portfolio to invest primarily in equity securities and to utilize an option writing strategy. The Fund will continue to be managed in line with its current investment objective of seeking to provide current income and capital appreciation, and the restructuring of the portfolio was within the Fund's existing prospectus guidelines.

  The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging

The Fund utilizes leveraging through borrowings or issuance of short-term debt securities or shares of Preferred Stock. 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 or dividend rates, which normally will be lower than the income earned by the Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments. To the extent that the total assets of the Fund (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, the Fund’s Common Stock shareholders are the beneficiaries of the incremental yield.

There was no leverage outstanding as of December 31, 2007.

Leverage creates risks for holders of Common Stock including the likelihood of greater net asset value and market price volatility. In addition, there is the risk that fluctuations in interest rates on borrowings (or in the dividend rates on any Preferred Stock, if the Fund were to issue the Preferred Stock) may reduce the Common Stock’s yield and negatively impact its net asset value and market price. If the income derived from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, the 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, the Fund’s net income will be less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount available for distribution to Common Stock shareholders will be reduced.

Share Repurchase Program

The Board of Directors of the Fund authorized the Fund, at the discretion of the Fund officers, to engage in periodic open market repurchases of up to 5% of the Fund’s outstanding Common Stock. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund had no repurchases.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. (formerly BlackRock Capital and Income Strategies Fund, Inc.) (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Fund determines and makes available for publication the net asset value of its Common Stock on a daily basis. The Fund’s Common Stock shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol CII.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.

Valuation of Investments: The Fund values most of its investments on the basis of last available bid price or current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services selected under the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, 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. Effective September 4, 2007, 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 and previously were valued at the last sales price as of the close of options trading on applicable exchanges. Options traded in the OTC market are valued at the last asked price (options written) and the last bid price (options purchased). Swap agreements are valued based upon quoted fair valuations received daily by the Fund from a pricing service or coun-terparty. Financial futures contracts are traded on exchanges and are valued at their last sale price. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day. Short-term securities may be valued at amortized cost.

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, the investment will be valued by, under the direction of or in accordance with a method approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor shall seek to determine the price that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arms-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets shall be subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.

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

Derivative Financial Instruments: The Fund may engage in various portfolio investment strategies to increase the return of the Fund and to hedge, or protect, its exposure to interest rate movements and movements in the securities markets. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the contract due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security, or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

Options: The Fund may purchase and write call and put options. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. When a security 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 security acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the security sold. When an option expires (or the Fund enters into a closing transaction), the 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).

Swaps: The Fund may enter into swap agreements, which are OTC contracts in which the Fund and a counterparty agree to make peri- odic net payments on a specified notional amount. The net payments can be made for a set period of time or may be triggered by a redetermined credit event. The net periodic payments may be based on a fixed or variable interest rate; the change in market value of a speci- fied security, basket of securities, or index; or the return generated by a security. These periodic payments received or made by the Fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Gains or losses are also realized upon termination of the swap agreements. Swaps are “marked to market” daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts’ terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Financial Futures Contracts: The Fund may purchase or sell financial or index futures contracts and options on such futures contracts.

Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities at a specific future date and at a specific price or yield. Upon entering into a contract, the Fund deposits, and maintains as collateral, such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees 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 variation margin and are recognized by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records 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 Fund may utilize futures for the purpose of reducing the interest rate sensitivity of the portfolio and decreasing the Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk.

Foreign Currency Transactions: Foreign currency amounts are translated into United States dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment 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. For equity income securities, the Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held at period end and sold during the period. For fixed income securities, the Fund isolates the portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held at period end and sold during the period.

Preferred Stocks: The Fund 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 convertible preferred stock generally also reflects some element of conversion value. Because preferred stock is junior to debt securities and other obligations 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.

Trust Preferred Stock: 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.

Segregation: In cases in which the 1940 Act, and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) require that the Fund segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., when-issued securities or swap agreements), the Fund will, consistent with certain interpretive letters used by the SEC, 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.

Income Taxes: It is the 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 law, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.

Effective June 29, 2007, the Fund implemented Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity, including investment companies, before being measured and recognized in the financial statements. Management has evaluated the application of FIN 48 to the Fund, and has determined that the adoption of FIN 48 does not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the years ended December 31, 2004 through December 31, 2006. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on security transactions

14 BLACKROCK ENHANCED CAPITAL AND INCOME FUND, INC. DECEMBER 31, 2007


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend 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 Fund has determined the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes all premiums and discounts on debt securities.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions paid by the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates.

Securities Lending: The Fund may lend securities to financial institutions that provide cash or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government as collateral, which will be maintained at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The Fund typically receives the income on the loaned securities but does not receive the income on the collateral. Where the Fund receives cash collateral, it may invest such collateral and retain the amount earned on such investment, net of any amount rebated to the borrower. The Fund may receive a flat fee for its loans. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

The Fund may pay reasonable lending agent, administrative and custodial fees in connection with its loans. In the event that the borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities because of insolvency or for any other reason, the Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund also could suffer a loss where the value of the collateral falls below the market value of the borrowed securities, in the event of borrower default or in the event of losses on investments made with cash collateral.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Acutal results could differ from these estimates and such differences may be material.

Other: Expenses that are directly related to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Other operating expenses are generally pro-rated to the Fund on the basis of relative net assets of all the BlackRock Closed-End Funds.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The impact on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

In addition, in February 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FAS 157. FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The impact on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

Reclassification: Accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. Accordingly, during the current year, $148,933 has been reclassified between undistributed net realized capital gains and undistributed net investment income as a result of permanent differences attributable to the classification of investments, foreign currency transactions, amortization methods on fixed income securities, and swap agreements. This reclassification has no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC, (the “Advisor”) an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. to provide investment advisory and administration services. Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) and The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) are principal owners of BlackRock, Inc.

The Advisor is responsible for the management of the Fund’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Fund. For such services, the Fund pays a monthly fee at an annual rate of .85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, including the proceeds of any outstanding borrowings used for leverage. In addition, the Advisor has entered into separate sub-advisory agreements with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”) and BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”), both affiliates of the Advisor, under which the Advisor pays BIM and BFM for their sub-advisory services.

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded)

The Fund has received an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission permitting it to lend portfolio securities to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“MLPF&S”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch, or its affiliates. Pursuant to that order, the Fund has retained BIM, an affiliate of the Advisor, as the securities lending agent for a fee based on a share of the returns on investment of cash collateral. BIM may, on behalf of the Fund, invest cash collateral received by the Fund for such loans, among other things, in a private investment company managed by the Advisor or in registered money market funds advised by the Advisor or its affiliates. For the year ended December 31, 2007, there were no securities lending agent fees paid to BIM.

In addition, MLPF&S received $43,108 in commissions on the execution of portfolio security transactions for the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2007.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund reimbursed the Advisor $5,258 for certain accounting services.

Certain officers and/or directors of the Fund are officers and/or directors of BlackRock, Inc. or its affiliates.

3. Investments:

Purchases and sales (including paydowns) of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $189,539,298 and $305,537,619, respectively.

Transactions in options written for the year ended December 31, 2007 were as follows:

    Number of    Premiums 
Call Options Written    Contracts    Received 

 
 
Outstanding call options written,         
   beginning of year    2,806    $ 461,466

Outstanding call options written, end         
   of year    1,621    $ 4,023,610 
   
 
 
4. Capital Share Transactions:         

The Fund is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value $.10 per share, all of which were initially classified as Common Stock. The Board is authorized, however, to classify and reclassify any unissued shares of capital stock without approval of holders of Common Stock.

Common Stock

Shares issued and outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2007 remained constant. Shares issued and outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2006 decreased by 641,500, as a result of a share repurchase program.

The shares tendered in the share repurchase program will be subject to a repurchase fee retained by the Fund to compensate the Fund for expenses directly related to the repurchase offer.

5. Short-Term Borrowings:

On May 18, 2007, the Fund renewed its revolving credit and security agreement funded by a commercial paper asset securitization program with Citicorp North America, Inc. (“Citicorp”) as Agent, certain secondary backstop lenders, and certain asset securitization conduits as lenders (the “Lenders”). The agreement was renewed for one year and has a maximum limit of $135,000,000. Under the Citicorp program, the conduits will fund advances to the Fund through the issuance of highly rated commercial paper. As security for its obligations to the Lenders under the revolving securitization facility, the Fund has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets to and in favor of the Lenders. The interest rate on the Fund’s borrowings is based on the interest rate carried by the commercial paper plus a program fee. The Fund pays additional borrowing costs including asset securitization fees and a backstop commitment fee.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the average amount borrowed was approximately $38,788,000 and the daily weighted average interest rate was 5.61% . There were no short-term borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2007.

6. Distributions to Shareholders:

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was as follows:

    12/31/2007    12/31/2006 

 
 
Distributions paid from:         
   Ordinary income    $ 5,911,539    $ 10,997,211 
   Long-term capital gains    23,835,961    7,264,347 
   
 
Total distributions    $ 29,747,500    $ 18,261,558 
   
 

As of December 31, 2007, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income — net    $ 5,025,603 
Undistributed long-term capital gains — net    861,592 
   
Total undistributed earnings — net    5,887,195 
Capital loss carryforward     
Unrealized gains — net    22,149,143* 
   
Total accumulated earnings — net    $ 28,036,338 
   

*      The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains is attribut- able primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the tax deferral of losses on straddles and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain futures and foreign currency contracts.
 

16 BLACKROCK ENHANCED CAPITAL AND INCOME FUND, INC. DECEMBER 31, 2007


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. (formerly BlackRock Capital and Income Strategies Fund, Inc.)(the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments as of December 31, 2007 and the related statements of operations and cash flows 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 financal highlights for the respective periods then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

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 Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. 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 Fund’s 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 significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 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 Enhanced Capital and Income Fund, Inc. as of December 31, 2007, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the respective periods then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan

How the Plan Works — The Fund offers a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) under which income and capital gains dividends paid by the Fund are automatically reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock of the Fund. The Plan is administered on behalf of the shareholders by The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Plan Agent”). Under the Plan, whenever the Fund declares a dividend, participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in shares of Common Stock of the Fund. The Plan Agent will acquire the shares for the participant’s account either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized shares of the Fund (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding shares of Common Stock on the open market on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere. If, on the dividend 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 Agent 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 Agent will invest the dividend amount by purchasing on the open market additional shares. If the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full dividend amount in open market purchases, or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Agent 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 — Participation in the Plan is automatic, that is, a shareholder is automatically enrolled in the Plan when he or she purchases shares of Common Stock of the Fund unless the shareholder specifically elects not to participate 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 the 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.

Benefits of the Plan — The Plan provides an easy, convenient way for shareholders to make additional, regular investments in the Fund. 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 the Fund’s shares is above the net asset value, participants in the Plan will receive shares of the Fund 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 available in the market to make distributions in shares at prices below the net asset value. Also, since the Fund does not redeem shares, the price on resale may be more or less than the net asset value.

Plan Fees — There are no enrollment fees or brokerage fees for participating in the Plan. The Plan Agent’s service fees for handling the reinvestment of distributions are paid for by the Fund. However, brokerage commissions may be incurred when the Fund purchases shares on the open market and shareholders will pay a pro rata share of any such commissions.

Tax Implications — 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. Participation in the Plan generally will not affect the tax-exempt status of exempt interest dividends paid by the Fund. If, when the Fund’s shares are trading at a market premium, the Fund issues 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 Fund’s shares) could be viewed as a taxable distribution. 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 allocable share of the discount.

Contact Information — All correspondence concerning the Plan, including any questions about the Plan, should be directed to the Plan Agent at The Bank of New York Mellon, One Wall Street, New York, NY 10286, Telephone: 800-432-8224.

ment of the Fund’s portfolio.

22 BLACKROCK ENHANCED CAPITAL AND INCOME FUND, INC. DECEMBER 31, 2007


Managed Distribution Policy

The Fund has adopted a policy of paying regular distributions on its Common Stock (the “Managed Distribution Policy”). The Fund’s Board of Directors has initially determined to pay quarterly distributions at an annualized rate of 6% of the initial public offering price per share ($.30 per share, per quarter). The Fund’s Board of Directors has determined to pay additional distributions on an annual basis equal to any income earned by the Fund in excess of the quarterly distributions as may be necessary to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s net investment company taxable income for that year.

The Fund generally is not permitted to distribute net realized long-term capital gains more than once per year without exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, the Fund has applied for an exemptive order that will permit the Fund to make periodic distributions of realized long-term capital gains to its shareholders. Until such time, if any, as the exemptive relief is granted, the Fund intends to make distributions from its net investment income on a quarterly basis and from its net realized long-term capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. If such exemptive relief is granted, the Fund intends to make distributions from its net investment income and its realized long-term capital gains, if any, on a quarterly basis.

If the total distributions paid by the Fund to its shareholders for any calendar year exceed the Fund’s net investment company taxable income and net realized capital gain for that year, the excess will generally be treated as a tax-free return of capital up to the amount of a shareholder’s tax basis in his or her stock. Any distributions that constitute tax-free return of capital will reduce a shareholder’s tax basis in his or her stock. In effect, a return of capital is the return of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund and will result in a corresponding decline in the Fund’s net asset value. Return of capital distributions also may have the effect of increasing the Fund’s operating expense ratio. Any amounts distributed to a shareholder in excess of such shareholder’s tax basis in his or her stock will generally be taxable to the shareholder as capital gain.

The Fund currently expects that the amount of distributions made under the Managed Distribution Policy generally will be independent of, and not contingent upon, the Fund’s performance in any of the first three quarters of the Fund’s fiscal year. Distribution rates under the Managed Distribution Policy may be increased in the Fund’s fourth fiscal quarter in light of the Fund’s performance for the fiscal year and to enable the Fund to comply with the distribution requirements applicable to regulated investment companies. It also is currently expected that the Fund’s investment portfolio initially will not produce sufficient dividend and interest income to fully fund distributions under the Managed Distribution Policy. Consequently, if the Fund does not realize sufficient short-term capital gains and long-term capital gains to make up any shortfall, distributions to the Fund’s Common Stock shareholders will include returns of capital. Prior to receipt of the above-referenced exemptive order, long-term capital gains will be available to make up any shortfall in funding distributions only on an annual basis, thereby increasing the likelihood that distributions will include returns of capital to shareholders. The Fund is not required to maintain the Managed Distribution Policy and such policy (including the amount of the quarterly distribution) may be modified or terminated at any time without notice. Any such modification or termination of the Managed Distribution Policy may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund’s Common Stock.

This report, including the financial information herein, is transmitted
to shareholders of BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund,
Inc. for their information. It is not a prospectus. The Fund leverages
its Common Stock to provide Common Stock shareholders with a
potentially higher rate of return. Leverage creates risk for Common
Stock shareholders, including the likelihood of greater volatility of
net asset value and market price of Common Stock shares, and
the risk that fluctuations in short-term interest rates may reduce
the Common Stock’s yield. Past performance results shown in
this report should not be considered a representation of future
performance. Statements and other information herein are as
dated and are subject to change.

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: independent:
David O. Beim (term ended effective November 1, 2007)
W. Carl Kester
James T. Flynn
Karen P. Robards
Robert S. Salomon, Jr. (term began effective November 1, 2007)
Kent Dixon (term began effective November 1, 2007)
Frank J. Fabozzi (term began effective November 1, 2007)

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.

2 The nature of the services include tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.

3 The nature of the services include a review of compliance procedures and attestation thereto.

(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”). However, such services will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $5,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 for all of the registrants the Committee oversees. 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.

(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.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

These Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (“Policy”) for BlackRock Advisors,

LLC and its affiliated U.S. registered investment advisers1 (“BlackRock”) reflect our duty as a fiduciary under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”) to vote proxies in the best interests of our clients. BlackRock serves as the investment manager for investment companies, other commingled investment vehicles and/or separate accounts of institutional and other clients. The right to vote proxies for securities held in such accounts belongs to BlackRock’s clients. Certain clients of BlackRock have retained the right to vote such proxies in general or in specific circumstances.2 Other clients, however, have delegated to BlackRock the right to vote proxies for securities held in their accounts as part of BlackRock’s authority to manage, acquire and dispose of account assets.

     When BlackRock votes proxies for a client that has delegated to BlackRock proxy voting authority, BlackRock acts as the client’s agent. Under the Advisers Act, an investment adviser is a fiduciary that owes each of its clients a duty of care and loyalty with respect to all services the adviser undertakes on the client’s behalf, including proxy voting. BlackRock is therefore subject to a fiduciary duty to vote proxies in a manner BlackRock believes is consistent with the client’s best interests,3 whether or not the client’s proxy voting is subject to the fiduciary standards of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).4 When voting proxies for client accounts (including investment companies), BlackRock’s primary objective is to make voting decisions solely in the best interests of clients and ERISA clients’ plan beneficiaries and participants. In fulfilling its obligations to clients, BlackRock will seek to act in a manner that it believes is most likely to enhance the economic value of the underlying securities held in client accounts.5 It is imperative that BlackRock considers the interests of its clients, and not the interests of BlackRock, when voting proxies and that real (or

1 The Policy does not apply to BlackRock Asset Management U.K. Limited and BlackRock Investment Managers International Limited, which are U.S. registered investment advisers based in the United Kingdom.

2 In certain situations, a client may direct BlackRock to vote in accordance with the client’s proxy voting policies. In these situations, BlackRock will seek to comply with such policies to the extent it would not be inconsistent with other BlackRock legal responsibilities.

3 Letter from Harvey L. Pitt, Chairman, SEC, to John P.M. Higgins, President, Ram Trust Services (February 12, 2002) (Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act imposes a fiduciary responsibility to vote proxies fairly and in the best interests of clients); SEC Release No. IA-2106 (February 3, 2003).

4      DOL Interpretative Bulletin of Sections 402, 403 and 404 of ERISA at 29 C.F.R. 2509.94-2
 
5      Other considerations, such as social, labor, environmental or other policies, may be of interest to
 

particular clients. While BlackRock is cognizant of the importance of such considerations, when voting proxies it will generally take such matters into account only to the extent that they have a direct bearing on the economic value of the underlying securities. To the extent that a BlackRock client desires to pursue a particular social, labor, environmental or other agenda through the proxy votes made for its securities held through BlackRock as investment adviser, BlackRock encourages the client to consider retaining direct proxy voting authority or to appoint independently a special proxy voting fiduciary other than BlackRock.

perceived) material conflicts that may arise between BlackRock’s interest and those of BlackRock’s clients are properly addressed and resolved.

     Advisers Act Rule 206(4)-6 was adopted by the SEC in 2003 and requires, among other things, that an investment adviser that exercises voting authority over clients’ proxy voting adopt policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the adviser votes proxies in the best interests of clients, discloses to its clients information about those policies and procedures and also discloses to clients how they may obtain information on how the adviser has voted their proxies.

     In light of such fiduciary duties, the requirements of Rule 206(4)-6, and given the complexity of the issues that may be raised in connection with proxy votes, BlackRock has adopted these policies and procedures. BlackRock’s Equity Investment Policy Oversight Committee, or a sub-committee thereof (the “Committee”), addresses proxy voting issues on behalf of BlackRock and its clients.6 The Committee is comprised of senior members of BlackRock’s Portfolio Management Group and advised by BlackRock’s Legal and Compliance Department.

6 Subject to the Proxy Voting Policies of Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Company FSB, the Committee may also function jointly as the Proxy Voting Committee for Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Company FSB trust accounts managed by personnel dually-employed by BlackRock.

I. Scope of Committee Responsibilities

The Committee shall have the responsibility for determining how to address
proxy votes made on behalf of all BlackRock clients, except for clients who have retained
the right to vote their own proxies, either generally or on any specific matter. In so doing,
the Committee shall seek to ensure that proxy votes are made in the best interests of
clients, and that proxy votes are determined in a manner free from unwarranted or
inappropriate influences. The Committee shall also oversee the overall administration of
proxy voting for BlackRock accounts.7

The Committee shall establish BlackRock’s proxy voting guidelines, with such
advice, participation and research as the Committee deems appropriate from portfolio
managers, proxy voting services or other knowledgeable interested parties. As it is
anticipated that there will not necessarily be a “right” way to vote proxies on any given
issue applicable to all facts and circumstances, the Committee shall also be responsible
for determining how the proxy voting guidelines will be applied to specific proxy votes,
in light of each issuer’s unique structure, management, strategic options and, in certain
circumstances, probable economic and other anticipated consequences of alternative
actions. In so doing, the Committee may determine to vote a particular proxy in a manner
contrary to its generally stated guidelines.

The Committee may determine that the subject matter of certain proxy issues are
not suitable for general voting guidelines and requires a case-by-case determination, in
which case the Committee may elect not to adopt a specific voting guideline applicable to
such issues. BlackRock believes that certain proxy voting issues – such as approval of
mergers and other significant corporate transactions – require investment analysis akin to
investment decisions, and are therefore not suitable for general guidelines. The
Committee may elect to adopt a common BlackRock position on certain proxy votes that
are akin to investment decisions, or determine to permit portfolio managers to make
individual decisions on how best to maximize economic value for the accounts for which
they are responsible (similar to normal buy/sell investment decisions made by such
portfolio managers).8

While it is expected that BlackRock, as a fiduciary, will generally seek to vote
proxies over which BlackRock exercises voting authority in a uniform manner for all
BlackRock clients, the Committee, in conjunction with the portfolio manager of an
account, may determine that the specific circumstances of such account require that such
account’s proxies be voted differently due to such account’s investment objective or other
factors that differentiate it from other accounts. In addition, on proxy votes that are akin

7 The Committee may delegate day-to-day administrative responsibilities to other BlackRock personnel
and/or outside service providers, as appropriate.
8 The Committee will normally defer to portfolio managers on proxy votes that are akin to investment
decisions except for proxy votes that involve a material conflict of interest, in which case it will determine,
in its discretion, the appropriate voting process so as to address such conflict.

3


to investment decisions, BlackRock believes portfolio managers may from time to time
legitimately reach differing but equally valid views, as fiduciaries for BlackRock’s
clients, on how best to maximize economic value in respect of a particular investment.

The Committee will also be responsible for ensuring the maintenance of records
of each proxy vote, as required by Advisers Act Rule 204-2.9 All records will be
maintained in accordance with applicable law. Except as may be required by applicable
legal requirements, or as otherwise set forth herein, the Committee’s determinations and
records shall be treated as proprietary, nonpublic and confidential.

The Committee shall be assisted by other BlackRock personnel, as may be
appropriate. In particular, the Committee has delegated to the BlackRock Operations
Department responsibility for monitoring corporate actions and ensuring that proxy votes
are submitted in a timely fashion. The Operations Department shall ensure that proxy
voting issues are promptly brought to the Committee’s attention and that the Committee’s
proxy voting decisions are appropriately disseminated and implemented.

To assist BlackRock in voting proxies, the Committee may retain the services of a
firm providing such services. BlackRock has currently retained Institutional Shareholder
Services (“ISS”) in that role. ISS is an independent adviser that specializes in providing a
variety of fiduciary-level proxy-related services to institutional investment managers,
plan sponsors, custodians, consultants, and other institutional investors. The services
provided to BlackRock may include, but are not limited to, in-depth research, voting
recommendations (which the Committee is not obligated to follow), vote execution, and
recordkeeping.

9 The Committee may delegate the actual maintenance of such records to an outside service provider. Currently, the Committee has delegated the maintenance of such records to Institutional Shareholder Services.

II. Special Circumstances

     Routine Consents. BlackRock may be asked from time to time to consent to an amendment to, or grant a waiver under, a loan agreement, partnership agreement, indenture or other governing document of a specific financial instrument held by BlackRock clients. BlackRock will generally treat such requests for consents not as “proxies” subject to these Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures but as investment matters to be dealt with by the responsible BlackRock investment professionals would, provided that such consents (i) do not relate to the election of a board of directors or appointment of auditors of a public company, and (ii) either (A) would not otherwise materially affect the structure, management or control of a public company, or (B) relate to a company in which BlackRock clients hold only interests in bank loans or debt securities and are consistent with customary standards and practices for such instruments.

     Securities on Loan. Registered investment companies that are advised by BlackRock as well as certain of our advisory clients may participate in securities lending programs. Under most securities lending arrangements, securities on loan may not be voted by the lender (unless the loan is recalled). BlackRock believes that each client has the right to determine whether participating in a securities lending program enhances returns, to contract with the securities lending agent of its choice and to structure a securities lending program, through its lending agent, that balances any tension between loaning and voting securities in a matter that satisfies such client. If client has decided to participate in a securities lending program, BlackRock will therefore defer to the client’s determination and not attempt to seek recalls solely for the purpose of voting routine proxies as this could impact the returns received from securities lending and make the client a less desirable lender in a marketplace. Where a client retains a lending agent that is unaffiliated with BlackRock, BlackRock will generally not seek to vote proxies relating to securities on loan because BlackRock does not have a contractual right to recall such loaned securities for the purpose of voting proxies. Where BlackRock or an affiliate acts as the lending agent, BlackRock will also generally not seek to recall loaned securities for proxy voting purposes, unless the portfolio manager responsible for the account or the Committee determines that voting the proxy is in the client’s best interest and requests that the security be recalled.

     Voting Proxies for Non-US Companies. While the proxy voting process is well established in the United States, voting proxies of non-US companies frequently involves logistical issues which can affect BlackRock’s ability to vote such proxies, as well as the desirability of voting such proxies. These issues include (but are not limited to): (i) untimely notice of shareholder meetings, (ii) restrictions on a foreigner’s ability to exercise votes, (iii) requirements to vote proxies in person, (iv) “shareblocking” (requirements that investors who exercise their voting rights surrender the right to dispose of their holdings for some specified period in proximity to the shareholder meeting), (v) potential difficulties in translating the proxy, and (vi) requirements to provide local agents with unrestricted powers of attorney to facilitate voting instructions.

6


As a consequence, BlackRock votes proxies of non-US companies only on a
“best-efforts” basis. In addition, the Committee may determine that it is generally in the
best interests of BlackRock clients not to vote proxies of companies in certain countries
if the Committee determines that the costs (including but not limited to opportunity costs
associated with shareblocking constraints) associated with exercising a vote generally are
expected to outweigh the benefit the client will derive by voting on the issuer’s proposal.
If the Committee so determines in the case of a particular country, the Committee (upon
advice from BlackRock portfolio managers) may override such determination with
respect to a particular issuer’s shareholder meeting if the Committee believes the benefits
of seeking to exercise a vote at such meeting outweighs the costs, in which case
BlackRock will seek to vote on a best-efforts basis.

  Securities Sold After Record Date. With respect to votes in connection with
securities held on a particular record date but sold from a client account prior to the
holding of the related meeting, BlackRock may take no action on proposals to be voted
on in such meeting.

Conflicts of Interest. From time to time, BlackRock may be required to vote
proxies in respect of an issuer that is an affiliate of BlackRock (a “BlackRock Affiliate”),
or a money management or other client of BlackRock (a “BlackRock Client”).10 In such
event, provided that the Committee is aware of the real or potential conflict, the following
procedures apply:

§      The Committee intends to adhere to the voting guidelines set forth herein for all proxy issues including matters involving BlackRock Affiliates and BlackRock Clients. The Committee may, in its discretion for the purposes of ensuring that an independent determination is reached, retain an independent fiduciary to advise the Committee on how to vote or to cast votes on behalf of BlackRock’s clients; and
 
§      if the Committee determines not to retain an independent fiduciary, or does not desire to follow the advice of such independent fiduciary, the Committee shall determine how to vote the proxy after consulting with the BlackRock Legal and Compliance Department and concluding that the vote cast is in the client’s best interest notwithstanding the conflict.
 

10 Such issuers may include investment companies for which BlackRock provides investment advisory, administrative and/or other services.

7


III. Voting Guidelines

     The Committee has determined that it is appropriate and in the best interests of BlackRock’s clients to adopt the following voting guidelines, which represent the Committee’s usual voting position on certain recurring proxy issues that are not expected to involve unusual circumstances. With respect to any particular proxy issue, however, the Committee may elect to vote differently than a voting guideline if the Committee determines that doing so is, in the Committee’s judgment, in the best interest of its clients. The guidelines may be reviewed at any time upon the request of any Committee member and may be amended or deleted upon the vote of a majority of voting Committee members present at a Committee meeting for which there is a quorum.

8


A. Boards of Directors

These proposals concern those issues submitted to shareholders relating to the
composition of the Board of Directors of companies other than investment companies.
As a general matter, the Committee believes that a company’s Board of Directors (rather
than shareholders) is most likely to have access to important, nonpublic information
regarding a company’s business and prospects, and is therefore best-positioned to set
corporate policy and oversee management. The Committee therefore believes that the
foundation of good corporate governance is the election of qualified, independent
corporate directors who are likely to diligently represent the interests of shareholders and
oversee management of the corporation in a manner that will seek to maximize
shareholder value over time. In individual cases, the Committee may look at a Director
nominee’s history of representing shareholder interests as a director of other companies,
or other factors to the extent the Committee deems relevant.

The Committee’s general policy is to vote:

#         
    VOTE and DESCRIPTION 

 
 
A.1    FOR nominees for director of United States companies in 
    uncontested elections, except for nominees who 
             §    have missed at least two meetings and, as a result, 
        attended less than 75% of meetings of the Board of 
        Directors and its committees the previous year, unless the 
        nominee missed the meeting(s) due to illness or company 
        business 
             §    voted to implement or renew a “dead-hand” poison pill 
             §    ignored a shareholder proposal that was approved by 
        either a majority of the shares outstanding in any year or 
        by the majority of votes cast for two consecutive years 
             §    failed to act on takeover offers where the majority of the 
shareholders have tendered their shares
             §    are corporate insiders who serve on the audit, 
        compensation or nominating committees or on a full 
        Board that does not have such committees composed 
        exclusively of independent directors 
             §    on a case-by-case basis, have served as directors of other 
        companies with allegedly poor corporate governance 
             §    sit on more than six boards of public companies 

 
 
A.2    FOR nominees for directors of non-U.S. companies in uncontested 
elections, except for nominees from whom the Committee
    determines to withhold votes due to the nominees’ poor records of 
representing shareholder interests, on a case-by-case basis

A.3    FOR proposals to declassify Boards of Directors, except where 
there exists a legitimate purpose for classifying boards

A.4    AGAINST proposals to classify Boards of Directors, except where 
there exists a legitimate purpose for classifying boards


9


A.5    AGAINST proposals supporting cumulative voting 

 
A.6    FOR proposals eliminating cumulative voting 

 
A.7    FOR proposals supporting confidential voting 

 
A.8    FOR proposals seeking election of supervisory board members 

 
A.9    AGAINST shareholder proposals seeking additional 
    representation of women and/or minorities generally (i.e., not 
    specific individuals) to a Board of Directors 

 
A.10    AGAINST shareholder proposals for term limits for directors 

 
A.11    FOR shareholder proposals to establish a mandatory retirement 
    age for directors who attain the age of 72 or older 

 
A.12    AGAINST shareholder proposals requiring directors to own a 
    minimum amount of company stock 

 
A.13    FOR proposals requiring a majority of independent directors on a 
    Board of Directors 

 
A.14    FOR proposals to allow a Board of Directors to delegate powers to 
    a committee or committees 

 
A.15    FOR proposals to require audit, compensation and/or nominating 
    committees of a Board of Directors to consist exclusively of 
    independent directors 

 
A.16    AGAINST shareholder proposals seeking to prohibit a single 
    person from occupying the roles of chairman and chief executive 
    officer 

 
A.17    FOR proposals to elect account inspectors 

 
A.18    FOR proposals to fix the membership of a Board of Directors at a 
    specified size 

 
A.19    FOR proposals permitting shareholder ability to nominate 
    directors directly 

 
A.20    AGAINST proposals to eliminate shareholder ability to nominate 
    directors directly 

 
A.21    FOR proposals permitting shareholder ability to remove directors 
    directly 

 
A.22    AGAINST proposals to eliminate shareholder ability to remove 
    directors directly 

 

10


B. Auditors

These proposals concern those issues submitted to shareholders related to the
selection of auditors. As a general matter, the Committee believes that corporate auditors
have a responsibility to represent the interests of shareholders and provide an independent
view on the propriety of financial reporting decisions of corporate management. While
the Committee will generally defer to a corporation’s choice of auditor, in individual
cases, the Committee may look at an auditors’ history of representing shareholder
interests as auditor of other companies, to the extent the Committee deems relevant.

The Committee’s general policy is to vote:

B.1    FOR approval of independent auditors, except for 
    §    auditors that have a financial interest in, or material 
        association with, the company they are auditing, and are 
        therefore believed by the Committee not to be independent 
    §    auditors who have rendered an opinion to any company which 
        in the Committee’s opinion is either not consistent with best 
        accounting practices or not indicative of the company’s 
        financial situation 
    §    on a case-by-case basis, auditors who in the Committee’s 
        opinion provide a significant amount of non-audit services to 
        the company 

 
 
B.2    FOR proposals seeking authorization to fix the remuneration of 
    auditors 

 
B.3    FOR approving internal statutory auditors 

 
B.4    FOR proposals for audit firm rotation, except for proposals that 
would require rotation after a period of less than 5 years


11


C. Compensation and Benefits

These proposals concern those issues submitted to shareholders related to
management compensation and employee benefits. As a general matter, the Committee
favors disclosure of a company’s compensation and benefit policies and opposes
excessive compensation, but believes that compensation matters are normally best
determined by a corporation’s board of directors, rather than shareholders. Proposals to
“micro-manage” a company’s compensation practices or to set arbitrary restrictions on
compensation or benefits will therefore generally not be supported.

The Committee’s general policy is to vote:

C.1    IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECOMMENDATION OF ISS 
    on compensation plans if the ISS recommendation is based solely 
    on whether or not the company’s plan satisfies the allowable cap 
    as calculated by ISS. If the recommendation of ISS is based on 
    factors other than whether the plan satisfies the allowable cap the 
    Committee will analyze the particular proposed plan. This policy 
    applies to amendments of plans as well as to initial approvals. 

 
C.2    FOR proposals to eliminate retirement benefits for outside 
    directors 

 
C.3    AGAINST proposals to establish retirement benefits for outside 
    directors 

 
C.4    FOR proposals approving the remuneration of directors or of 
    supervisory board members 

 
C.5    AGAINST proposals to reprice stock options 

 
C.6    FOR proposals to approve employee stock purchase plans that 
    apply to all employees. This policy applies to proposals to amend 
ESPPs if the plan as amended applies to all employees.

C.7    FOR proposals to pay retirement bonuses to directors of Japanese 
    companies unless the directors have served less than three years 

 
C.8    AGAINST proposals seeking to pay outside directors only in stock 

 
C.9    FOR proposals seeking further disclosure of executive pay or 
    requiring companies to report on their supplemental executive 
    retirement benefits 

 
C.10    AGAINST proposals to ban all future stock or stock option grants 
    to executives 

 
C.11    AGAINST option plans or grants that apply to directors or 
    employees of “related companies” without adequate disclosure of 
    the corporate relationship and justification of the option policy 

 
C.12    FOR proposals to exclude pension plan income in the calculation 
    of earnings used in determining executive bonuses/compensation 

 

12


D. Capital Structure

These proposals relate to various requests, principally from management, for
approval of amendments that would alter the capital structure of a company, such as an
increase in authorized shares. As a general matter, the Committee will support requests
that it believes enhance the rights of common shareholders and oppose requests that
appear to be unreasonably dilutive.

The Committee’s general policy is to vote:

D.1    AGAINST proposals seeking authorization to issue shares without 
    preemptive rights except for issuances up to 10% of a non-US 
    company’s total outstanding capital 

 
D.2    FOR management proposals seeking preemptive rights or seeking 
    authorization to issue shares with preemptive rights 

 
D.3    FOR management proposals approving share repurchase programs 

 
D.4    FOR management proposals to split a company’s stock 

 
D.5    FOR management proposals to denominate or authorize 
    denomination of securities or other obligations or assets in Euros 

 
D.6    FOR proposals requiring a company to expense stock options 
    (unless the company has already publicly committed to do so by a 
    certain date). 

 

13


  E. Corporate Charter and By-Laws

These proposals relate to various requests for approval of amendments to a
corporation’s charter or by-laws, principally for the purpose of adopting or redeeming
“poison pills”. As a general matter, the Committee opposes poison pill provisions.

The Committee’s general policy is to vote:

E.1    AGAINST proposals seeking to adopt a poison pill 

 
E.2    FOR proposals seeking to redeem a poison pill 

 
E.3    FOR proposals seeking to have poison pills submitted to 
    shareholders for ratification 

 
E.4    FOR management proposals to change the company’s name 

 

14


F. Corporate Meetings

These are routine proposals relating to various requests regarding the formalities
of corporate meetings.

The Committee’s general policy is to vote:

F.1    AGAINST proposals that seek authority to act on “any other 
    business that may arise” 

 
F.2    FOR proposals designating two shareholders to keep minutes of 
    the meeting 

 
F.3    FOR proposals concerning accepting or approving financial 
    statements and statutory reports 

 
F.4    FOR proposals approving the discharge of management and the 
    supervisory board 

 
F.5    FOR proposals approving the allocation of income and the 
    dividend 

 
F.6    FOR proposals seeking authorization to file required 
    documents/other formalities 

 
F.7    FOR proposals to authorize the corporate board to ratify and 
    execute approved resolutions 

 
F.8    FOR proposals appointing inspectors of elections 

 
F.9    FOR proposals electing a chair of the meeting 

 
F.10    FOR proposals to permit “virtual” shareholder meetings over the 
    Internet 

 
F.11    AGAINST proposals to require rotating sites for shareholder 
    meetings 

 

15


G. Investment Companies

These proposals relate to proxy issues that are associated solely with holdings of
shares of investment companies, including, but not limited to, investment companies for
which BlackRock provides investment advisory, administrative and/or other services. As
with other types of companies, the Committee believes that a fund’s Board of Directors
(rather than its shareholders) is best-positioned to set fund policy and oversee
management. However, the Committee opposes granting Boards of Directors authority
over certain matters, such as changes to a fund’s investment objective, that the
Investment Company Act of 1940 envisions will be approved directly by shareholders.

The Committee’s general policy is to vote:

G.1    FOR nominees for director of mutual funds in uncontested 
    elections, except for nominees who 
       § have missed at least two meetings and, as a result, attended 
             less than 75% of meetings of the Board of Directors and its 
             committees the previous year, unless the nominee missed the 
             meeting due to illness or fund business 
       § ignore a shareholder proposal that was approved by either a 
             majority of the shares outstanding in any year or by the 
majority of votes cast for two consecutive years
       § are interested directors who serve on the audit or nominating 
             committees or on a full Board that does not have such 
             committees composed exclusively of independent directors 
       § on a case-by-case basis, have served as directors of companies 
             with allegedly poor corporate governance 

 
G.2    FOR the establishment of new series or classes of shares 

 
G.3    AGAINST proposals to change a fund’s investment objective to 
    nonfundamental 

 
G.4    FOR proposals to establish a master-feeder structure or 
    authorizing the Board to approve a master-feeder structure without 
    a further shareholder vote 

 
G.5    AGAINST a shareholder proposal for the establishment of a 
    director ownership requirement 

 
G.6    FOR classified boards of closed-end investment companies 

 

16


H. Environmental and Social Issues

These are shareholder proposals to limit corporate conduct in some manner that
relates to the shareholder’s environmental or social concerns. The Committee generally
believes that annual shareholder meetings are inappropriate forums for the discussion of
larger social issues, and opposes shareholder resolutions “micromanaging” corporate
conduct or requesting release of information that would not help a shareholder evaluate
an investment in the corporation as an economic matter. While the Committee is
generally supportive of proposals to require corporate disclosure of matters that seem
relevant and material to the economic interests of shareholders, the Committee is
generally not supportive of proposals to require disclosure of corporate matters for other
purposes.

The Committee’s general policy is to vote:

H.1    AGAINST proposals seeking to have companies adopt 
    international codes of conduct 

 
H.2    AGAINST proposals seeking to have companies provide non- 
    required reports on: 
    §    environmental liabilities; 
    §    bank lending policies; 
    §    corporate political contributions or activities; 
    §    alcohol advertising and efforts to discourage drinking by 
        minors; 
    §    costs and risk of doing business in any individual country; 
    §    involvement in nuclear defense systems 

 
 
H.3    AGAINST proposals requesting reports on Maquiladora 
    operations or on CERES principles 

 
H.4    AGAINST proposals seeking implementation of the CERES 
    principles 

 

17


Notice to Clients

BlackRock will make records of any proxy vote it has made on behalf of a client
available to such client upon request.11 BlackRock will use its best efforts to treat proxy

BlackRock encourage clients with an interest in particular proxy voting issues to
make their views known to BlackRock, provided that, in the absence of specific written
direction from a client on how to vote that client’s proxies, BlackRock reserves the right

  (iv) Potential Material Conflicts of Interest

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 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 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’) officers, directors or
employees are directors or officers, or companies as to which BlackRock or any of its
affiliates 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 the Fund. In addition, certain portfolio managers 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 December 31, 2007:

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 for Messrs. Rendino and Martorelli:
Discretionary incentive compensation is based on a formulaic compensation program.
BlackRock’s formulaic portfolio manager compensation program includes: pre-tax
investment performance relative to appropriate competitors or benchmarks over 1-, 3- and
5-year performance periods and a measure of operational efficiency. If a portfolio
manager’s tenure is less than 5-years, performance periods will reflect time in position. 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 to compare the performance of funds and
other accounts managed by each portfolio manager and the period of time over which
performance is evaluated. With respect to Messrs. Rendino and Martorelli, such
benchmarks for the equity component of the Fund include the Lipper Large Cap Value
Funds classification.

Portfolio managers who meet relative investment performance and financial management
objectives during a specified performance time period are eligible to receive an additional
bonus which may or may not be a large part of their overall compensation. A smaller
element of portfolio manager discretionary compensation may include consideration of:
financial results, expense control, profit margins, strategic planning and implementation,
quality of client service, market share, corporate reputation, capital allocation, compliance
and risk control, leadership, workforce diversity, supervision, technology and innovation.
All factors are considered collectively by BlackRock management.

Discretionary Incentive Compensation for Mr. Clark:
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, 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 to compare the performance of funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio
manager and the period of time over which performance is evaluated. With respect to Mr.
Clark, such benchmarks include a combination of market-based indices (e.g., The S&P 500
Index, MSCI World Index), certain customized indices and 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 a pre-tax basis over various time periods including 1, 3 and 5-
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 the Company’s ability to sustain and improve its performance
over future periods.

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:

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. Messrs. Rendino, Martorelli and Clark have each received
awards under the LTIP.

Deferred Compensation Program —A portion of the compensation paid to each
portfolio manager may be voluntarily deferred by the portfolio manager into an account that

is permitted to allocate his deferred amounts among various options, including to certain of
the firm’s hedge funds and other unregistered products. Each portfolio manager has

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% of eligible
compensation, plus an additional contribution of 2% for any year in which BlackRock has
positive net operating income. The RSP offers a range of investment options, including
registered investment companies managed by the firm. Company 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.
