The following is a transcript of a voicemail message from Robert Fairbairn, a Trustee of BlackRock ESG Capital Allocation Term Trust (ECAT or the Fund), to shareholders of the Fund. Good Day, this is Rob Fairbairn, Trustee of the BlackRock Closed-End Funds, calling about an important shareholder vote taking place at your funds upcoming shareholder meeting that could impact your investment, including the monthly distributions you receive. Saba, a predatory hedge fund, is attempting to install 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. In addition, Saba is proposing to fire BlackRock as investment advisor to your fund, which would deprive the fund of BlackRocks 35+ years experience and expertise managing closed-end funds. We ask that you make your voice heard and vote FOR your highly qualified Board nominees and AGAINST the proposal to terminate the investment management agreement using the WHITE card only. Please discard any gold card you may receive from Saba. We hope that you will support your current Board nominees and protect your investment by voting on the White card. Should you have any questions, please contact your Funds proxy solicitor at 1-866-920-4784. ****** Additional Information BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION, SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS, DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND AND THE UPCOMING ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS.
