1The Plan Fund estimates that it has distributed more thanits income and net-realized capital gains in the current fiscal year; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the shareholder's investment is paid back to the shareholder. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Plan Fund's investment performance and shouldnot be confused with 'yield' or 'income'. Whendistributions exceed total return performance, the difference will reduce thePlan Fund's net asset valueper share.

The amounts and sources ofdistributionsreported are only estimates and are not provided for tax reporting purposes.The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon each Plan Fund's investmentexperience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Each Plan Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year thatwill tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

  • Portfolio launched within the past 5 years; the performance and distribution rate information presented for this Fund reflects data from inception to 6/30/2020.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about a Plan Fund's investment performance from the amountof the Plan Fund's currentdistributions orfrom the terms of a Plan Fund's Plan.

BKT has adopted a Plan whereby beginningAugust 2018 the Fund will make fixed monthly distributions to common stockholders and will distribute all available investment income to its stockholders, consistent with its investment objective and as required by the Code.

The fixed amount distributed per share is subject to change at the discretion of BKT's Board. If sufficient investment income is not available on a monthly basis, the Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return capital to its stockholders in order to maintain a level distribution. The Fund is currently not relying on any exemptive relief from Section 19(b) of the 1940 Act. The Fund expects that distributions under the Plan will exceed current income and capital gains and therefore will likely include a return of capital. BKT may make additional distributions from time to time, including additional

6

capital gain distributions at the end of the taxable year, if required to meet requirements imposed by the Code and/or the 1940 Act.

BKT's estimated sources of the distributions paid as of July 31, 2020 and for its current fiscal year are as follows:

No conclusions should be drawn about BKT's investment performance from the amount of the Fund's distributions or from the terms of the Fund's Plan.

The amount distributed per share under a Plan is subject to change at the discretion of the applicable Fund's Board. Each Plan will be subject to ongoing review by the Board to

7

determine whether the Plan should be continued, modified or terminated. The Board may amend the terms of a Plan or suspend or terminate a Plan at any time without prior notice to the Fund's shareholders if it deems such actions to be in the best interest of the Fund or its shareholders. The amendment or termination of a Plan could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund's shares.
