Statement re Change of Depositary

BlackRock Frontiers Investment Trust plc
(LEI: 5493003K5E043LHLO706)

The European Union Alternative Investment Fund Managers’ Directive which came into effect in July 2014, required BlackRock Frontiers Investment Trust plc (‘the Company’) to appoint a Depositary to perform certain functions.  Consequently the Company appointed BNY Mellon Trust & Depositary (UK) Limited to act as the Company’s Depositary on 2 July 2014.   

The Company now announces that with effect from 1 November 2017, the role of the Depositary will be transferred from BNY Mellon Trust & Depositary (UK) Limited to its indirect parent company, The Bank of New York Mellon (International) Limited due to a streamlining of the legal structure of The Bank of New York Mellon.
