                   BLACKROCK FRONTIERS INVESTMENT TRUST PLC                    

                                ("the Company")                                

In conformity with the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules ("the Rules"),
the Company would like to notify the market that the Company's issued share
capital consisted of the following as at 31 July 2013:

  * 94,766,267 ordinary shares;
   
  * 63,566,000 C shares; and
   
  * 50,000 management shares.
   
The ordinary shares and the C shares carry the right to 1 voting right per
share as if the C shares and the ordinary shares were a single class. The
management shares carry voting rights only in limited circumstances and
shareholders are not required to notify their interest in, or change to their
interest in, management shares under the Rules.

Therefore, holders of ordinary shares and/or C shares should use 158,332,267 as
the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the
Company under the Rules.
