Tender Offer

Tender Offer Announcement

The board of BlackRock Commodities Income Investment Trust plc (the "Company") today announces its decision not to proceed with the discretionary semi-annual tender offer in August 2016.

Over the six month period to 31 May 2016, the Company's shares traded at an average premium to net asset value ("NAV") of 1.4% (on a cum-income basis). Given that this is better than a discount of 2.0% to NAV, the price at which any tender offer would be made, the Board has concluded that it is not in the interests of shareholders to implement the tender offer in August 2016.
