BLACKROCK NORTH AMERICAN INCOME TRUST PLC

Tender Offer

The Board of BlackRock North American Income Trust plc (the 'Company')
announces that it has decided not to implement a semi-annual tender offer in
July 2015. Over the six months to 30 April 2015, the average discount to net
asset value ('NAV') on a cum income basis was 6.8% and ranged from a discount
of 3.6% to 8.8%. The current discount on a cum income basis is 7.5%.

Following a shareholder consultation, the Board has concluded that it is not in
the interests of shareholders or the Company to implement a semi-annual tender
offer in July 2015. The Board will continue to monitor the Company's discount
to NAV and use its buy back authority when appropriate, with the objective of
ensuring that the Company's shares do not trade at a significant discount to
their NAV value.
