The Board appointed Jason Mehring as Trustee, Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and appointed Dan Worrell as President, each effective September 2, 2026.

Why It Matters
Management and Board leadership changed quickly and internally—Jason Mehring and Dan Worrell are longtime BlackRock executives who move into Chair/CEO and President roles, respectively—so investors should note continuity in the adviser and investment team. The filing does not indicate any disagreements or other issues; it documents a personnel transition and corresponding updates to officer and Investment Committee memberships that govern the fund’s portfolio decision process.
