The following is a transcript of a voicemail message from Robert Fairbairn, a Trustee of BlackRock Innovation and Growth Term Trust (“BIGZ” or the “Fund”), to shareholders of the Fund.
“Hello, this is Rob Fairbairn, Trustee of the BlackRock Innovation and Growth Term Trust, calling about an important shareholder vote taking place on July 10th that could impact your investment, including the monthly distributions you receive.
We ask that you make your voice heard and vote for your highly qualified Board nominees on BlackRock’s WHITE card.
Please discard any gold card you may receive from Saba, a predatory hedge fund attempting to take control of your fund by installing inexperienced and unqualified nominees who may take actions that are harmful to the Fund and its shareholders, like you, so that Saba may earn a profit at your expense.
We hope that you will support your current director nominees by voting on the WHITE card.
Please call 1-888-654-1722 if you have any questions about this matter or to opt out of pre-recorded voicemails. Thank you.”
