Statement re Tender Offer

BlackRock Commodities Income Investment Trust plc

Tender Offer Announcement

The Board of BlackRock Commodities Income Investment Trust plc (the "Company")
today announces its decision not to proceed with a semi-annual tender offer in
February 2011.

Over the six month period to 30 November 2010, the Company's shares traded at
an average premium to Net Asset Value ("NAV") of 2%. Given that this is better
than a discount of 2% 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 as at 28 February 2011.
