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 2026.

The discount to net asset value (NAV) on a cum income basis (diluted for treasury shares) as at close of business on 7 April 2026 was 6.29%. However, as the average discount to NAV (cum income) was 5.29% over the six months to 31 March 2026, 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 2026.

The Board remains committed to managing 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.
