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 November 2026.
Over the six months to 31 August 2026, the average discount to net asset value (cum income) (NAV) was 6.72% compared to a peer group average of 5.37%. The discount to NAV on a cum income basis (diluted for treasury shares) as at close of business on 18 September 2026 was 7.63%.
In addition, during the six months to the date of this announcement, the Company has bought back 2.6 million ordinary shares, representing 2.8% of ordinary shares in issue excluding treasury shares. Given the Company’s current discount and that the buyback activity has minimized the Company’s discount volatility over the period, the Board concluded that it is not in the interests of shareholders as a whole to implement a semi-annual tender offer in November 2026.
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.
