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.
