Tender Offer

The Board of BlackRock Greater Europe Investment Trust plc (the Company) announces that it has decided not to implement a semi-annual tender offer in May 2024.

Over the six months to 29 February 2024, the average discount to net asset value (cum income) (NAV) was 6.3%. However, as the discount to NAV on a cum income basis (diluted for treasury shares) as at close of business on 20 March 2024 was 5.3% and the Company was trading at the narrowest discount within its peer group, the Board has concluded that it is not in the interests of shareholders as a whole to implement a semi-annual tender offer in May 2024.

The Board will continue to monitor the Company’s discount to NAV and will look to buy back shares and/or operate six monthly tender offers if it is deemed to be in the interests of shareholders as a whole.
