Notes: July 27, 2009 -- BlackRock, Inc. today announced that the reorganizations of BlackRock Global Equity Income Trust (NYSE:BFD) and BlackRock World Investment Trust (NYSE:BWC) into BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust (NYSE:BOE) are effective as of the opening for business of the New York Stock Exchange on July 27, 2009. In the reorganizations, BOE acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of BFD and BWC in a tax-free transaction in exchange for an equal aggregate value of newly-issued common shares of BOE. BFD and BWC distributed the common shares of BOE to their respective common shareholders in an amount equal to the aggregate net asset value of BFD and BWC common shares, as applicable, as determined at the close of business on July 24, 2009, less the costs of the applicable reorganization (though some BFD and BWC common shareholders received cash for their fractional common shares).
