BlackRock ESG Capital Allocation Term Trust (NYSE: ECAT)
Dear Shareholder:
I am writing with important information about your upcoming 2024 Annual Shareholder Meeting for BlackRock ESG Capital Allocation Term Trust (NYSE: ECAT) (the “Fund”). In the next few weeks, you will receive ECAT’s proxy statement and WHITE proxy card. I urge you to review the proposals and protect your long-term investment by promptly voting your shares on the WHITE proxy card when you receive it.
Your fund is under attack
This year, your voice matters more than ever. A well-known activist hedge fund, Saba Capital Management L.P. (“Saba”), is once again attacking your long-term investment and threatening actions that we believe would harm the Fund and all shareholders by attempting to:
• Take control of the Fund’s board with a slate of inexperienced, hand-picked candidates
• Fire BlackRock as investment advisor to the Fund
This would deprive shareholders of BlackRock’s and the Board’s expertise and potentially imperil the Fund’s ability to generate your consistent income and returns. In addition, if Saba were to succeed, it may seek to appoint itself as investment advisor and/or fundamentally disrupt ECAT’s investment objectives and strategies, all to enrich itself.
Your experienced Board and award-winning management team have consistently worked to meet ECAT’s investment objectives to provide total return and income through a combination of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation.
Under their stewardship, the Fund has delivered growth and stable monthly distributions. Your Board and management team are committed to protecting and advancing the interests of all shareholders, not just a few.
ECAT delivers for all shareholders…
32% shareholder return in 2023, Independent, experienced and proven Board outperforming 96% of all closed-end funds
50% increase in monthly distribution rate Rick Rieder, ECAT’s lead portfolio manager, named since 2023 Morningstar’s Outstanding Portfolio Manager of the Year in 2023 $55 million in share repurchases at a discount, 100% liquidity at net asset value via term structure enhancing value for shareholders
We ask all shareholders to support their long-term investment in the fund. As always, we will continue to prioritize your best interests and help you meet your financial goals. Thank you for your continued loyalty and support. Sincerely,
John M. Perlowski
President and Chief Executive Officer
