NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BlackRock Technology and Private Equity Term Trust (NYSE: BTX) (the “Fund”) announced today the commencement, expiration and pricing dates of the previously announced offer to repurchase up to 50% of outstanding common shares at a price per share equal to 99.5% of the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per common share as determined on the pricing date (the “Tender Offer”).

The Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the dates as detailed in the table below:

Commencement Date

Expiration Date and Time

Tuesday, July 8, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time,

unless otherwise extended

Pricing Date

Wednesday July 9, 2025

Shares of the Fund will be repurchased at a price equal to 99.5% of the Fund’s NAV per share as determined as of the close of the regular trading session of the NYSE on the next day the NAV is calculated after the expiration date of the Tender Offer (or, if the Tender Offer is extended, on the next day the NAV is calculated after the day to which the Tender Offer is extended). If more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding common shares are tendered, the Fund will purchase its shares from tendering shareholders on a pro rata basis. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Fund will purchase all of the shares tendered by a shareholder in the Tender Offer. Payments for shares tendered and accepted are expected to be made approximately five business days after the expiration date. Shareholders participating in the Tender Offer will not be entitled to receive the July 2025 monthly distribution on tendered shares.

The terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are set forth in an Offer to Purchase, a related Letter of Transmittal, and related documents, which will be distributed to the Fund’s common shareholders and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
