BLE Director Stayce Harris Disposes 10.755 Shares in Fund Reorganization
What Happened
- Stayce D. Harris, a director of BlackRock Municipal Income Trust II (BLE), had 10.755 BLE shares disposed on Feb 9, 2026 as part of a fund reorganization. The Form 4 reports the disposition code (J) with no open‑market price (N/A) because the shares were converted into shares of the acquiring fund rather than sold.
- Per the footnote, BLE was reorganized into BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc.; BLE shareholders received common shares of the acquiring fund based on NAVs and a conversion ratio. Harris received 9 common shares of the acquiring fund (and cash for any fractional share). Using the stated NAVs (BLE $11.4106; Acquiring Fund $12.8419 as of Feb 6, 2026), the surrendered BLE position totaled roughly $122.72 and the 9 acquiring‑fund shares are worth about $115.58 (difference reflects reorg costs/fractional cash).
