FAQ
Was this Form 4 transaction for AMJB a buy or a sell?
The transaction is categorized as an “other” type, not a standard buy or sell. DNT Asset Trust exchanged 1,541 preferred shares of BlackRock Municipal Income Trust for the same number in BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc., in a cashless, restructuring-related swap rather than a market purchase or sale.
What is JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s role in this BlackRock Municipal Income Trust filing?
JPMorgan Chase & Co. is a joint reporting person because it indirectly held an interest in the preferred shares through its subsidiary DNT Asset Trust. The filing explains that JPMorgan’s involvement arises solely from this indirect ownership chain and not from direct trading activity in the trust’s securities.
Do the reporting persons admit to acting as a group under U.S. securities laws?
No, the reporting persons explicitly disclaim group status under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act. They state that filing the Form 4 together should not be construed as acting as a partnership, syndicate, or other group with respect to the issuer or its securities.
