Disclosure of Share Buy Back Authority Renewal

In accordance with the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of
8.3.2016                    (the                               Buy-back and
Stabilisation RTS)                    .          
          
          BlackRock Income and Growth Investment Trust plc (the               
      Company                    ) is hereby disclosing to a regulatory
information services (                     RIS                    ) details of
its share buyback authority which it renews annually. This authority was last
renewed at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on 17 March 2026 when a
special resolution was approved by shareholders authorising the Company to
make market purchases of its own shares of up to a maximum of 14.99% of the
Company’s shares in issue (excluding any shares held in treasury).          
                     
          
          The Company has authority to repurchase a maximum of 2,817,190 of
its ordinary shares (being the outstanding shareholder authority at the date
of this announcement). Such authority lasts until the next shareholder
authority granted, or where expressly revoked by shareholders. The share
buybacks may be funded from the Company’s resources (including redemptions
on funds the Company has invested in and debt facilities). No maximum
consideration payable has been determined by the Company, but the Company is
unable to pay a price for any shares pursuant to the buy-back which would
equate to a premium to the prevailing net asset value.          
          
          The Company has appointed J.P. Morgan Securities plc to act as its
broker in respect of the Company’s share buy-back programme.          
          
          The share buy-backs will be undertaken pursuant the Company’s
discount management programme.          
          
          This arrangement is in accordance with Chapter 12 of the FCA Listing
Rules and the Company’s general authority to repurchase shares.
