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
2019.
Over the six months to 28 February
2019, the average discount to net asset value (cum income)
(NAV) was 4.6% and the discount to NAV on a cum income basis
(diluted for treasury shares) as at close of business on
22 March 2019 was 3.7%. The Board has
therefore concluded that it is not in the interests of shareholders
as a whole to implement a semi-annual tender offer in May 2019.
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.
