**Summary**

BlackRock Greater Europe Investment Trust plc announced on September 22, 2025, that it will not proceed with a semi-annual tender offer in November 2025. The decision was based on the company’s average discount to net asset value (NAV) of 5.3% over the six months to August 31, 2025, which was narrower than the peer group average of 6.2%. As of September 19, 2025, the discount to NAV stood at 5.0%, and the company’s one-year average discount was the second narrowest in its peer group. The Board concluded that implementing a tender offer would not benefit shareholders as a whole. However, the Board will continue to monitor the discount to NAV and may consider share buybacks or future tender offers if deemed in shareholders’ best interests. The announcement is not intended for release in the United States, Canada, Australia, or Japan.
