FAQ

What insider transaction is reported in this Form 4 related to AMJB?

The Form 4 reports an internal restructuring transaction where DNT Asset Trust exchanged 1,541 preferred shares of BlackRock Municipal Income Trust for an equal number of preferred shares of BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc. The move was cashless and reflects a reorganization, not an open-market trade.

How many BlackRock Municipal Income Trust preferred shares were affected?

A total of 1,541 Series W-7 Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares of BlackRock Municipal Income Trust were exchanged. These shares were beneficially owned by DNT Asset Trust and were swapped one-for-one into similar preferred shares of BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc. during a reorganization.

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.

Did DNT Asset Trust retain any BlackRock Municipal Income Trust preferred shares after the transaction?

No preferred shares of BlackRock Municipal Income Trust remained after the exchange. The Form 4 indicates that, following the cashless swap of 1,541 preferred shares into BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc. preferred shares, the reported balance of these specific trust securities was reduced to zero.

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.
