BlackRock Enhanced Government Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) (NYSE:
EGF, CUSIP: 09255K108) announced the expiration of the Fund’s
annual repurchase offer for its shares of common stock (the
“Repurchase Offer”). The Repurchase Offer and withdrawal rights
expired at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 15, 2024. The Fund
offered to repurchase up to 5% of its issued and outstanding shares
of common stock (the “Shares”) for cash at a price equal to the net
asset value of the Shares as of the close of regular trading on the
New York Stock Exchange on November 18, 2024, subject to a
repurchase fee of 2% of the value of the Shares repurchased, which
will be deducted from the repurchase price. As of Friday, November
15, 2024, 3,738,502 Shares of the Fund were outstanding. A
repurchase amount of 5% of the Shares outstanding as of November
15, 2024 would represent approximately 186,925 Shares.
The preliminary count by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the
Fund's depositary agent, indicated that approximately 439,157
Shares (approximately 12% of the Fund's Shares outstanding as of
November 15, 2024) were validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to
the expiration of the Fund's Repurchase Offer. This determination
is subject to final confirmation and the proper delivery of all
Shares tendered and not withdrawn.
Because the aggregate number of Shares tendered and not
withdrawn exceeds the total number of Shares that the Fund offered
to repurchase, the Fund will repurchase any Shares tendered on a
pro rata basis. However, the Fund will accept all Shares tendered
by stockholders who own, beneficially or of record, an aggregate of
not more than 99 Shares and who tender all of their Shares, before
pro rating Shares tendered by other stockholders. Shares validly
tendered and accepted will not be entitled to receive any Fund
dividend or distribution with a record date on or after November
22, 2024.
The Fund is a diversified, closed-end management investment
company. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide stockholders
with current income and gains.
None of the Fund, its investment adviser or its Board of
Directors has made any recommendation to any stockholder as to
whether to tender or refrain from tendering Shares in the
Repurchase Offer.
For client-specific information regarding the Repurchase Offer,
please contact your broker or financial advisor, or in the case of
registered stockholders, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., which
is acting as the depositary agent in connection with the Repurchase
Offer.
