Exhibit (a)(5)(v)
Why am I receiving this letter?
You are receiving this letter because you hold shares in BlackRock Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (MUI or the Fund). MUI will be
converting from an exchange-listed closed-end fund to an unlisted interval fund (the Conversion). The Conversion is currently expected to occur in the first quarter of 2025.
How will the interval fund differ from MUI?
MUI
shareholders are currently able to sell their shares on the NYSE at market price on any day that the NYSE is open for trading. The market price for Fund shares can be higher (at a premium to) or lower (at a discount to) than the Funds net
asset value (NAV).
Following the Conversion, the Funds shares will no longer trade on a stock exchange. Instead, the Fund will provide
periodic liquidity by conducting quarterly offers to repurchase between 5% and 25% of the Funds outstanding shares at NAV.
Shareholders may face
reduced liquidity following the Conversion, but may benefit from the ability to have their shares repurchased at NAV (as opposed to potentially having to sell shares at a discount on an exchange). In addition, the Fund will be continuously offered,
which will provide shareholders with the ability to purchase additional shares of the Fund at NAV (less any applicable sales load).
When will the
conversion take place?
The Conversion is currently expected to occur in the first quarter of 2025. After converting, shareholders will have limited
liquidity via quarterly repurchase offers.
What are my options to sell if I do not want to hold the interval fund?
Tender your shares:
Tender your shares prior to
November 15, 2024 by responding to the current tender offer materials that you recently received in the mail. Please note that the Fund may only purchase a portion of your shares if the number of shares tendered by all shareholders exceeds the
number of shares to be repurchased by the Fund. You can contact Georgeson LLC, the Funds tender information agent, at (866)-735-8139 if you have any questions.
Sell your shares on the NYSE:
MUI shares will
continue to trade on the NYSE until the Conversion, which is currently expected to occur in the first quarter of 2025. Computershare, MUIs transfer agent (where your MUI shares are held), can help you facilitate the sale of your shares. Please
refer to the next page for your options.
