11 Important Information Issued by BlackRock Investment Management (UK) Limited, authorised and regulated by the Financial ConductAuthority. Registered office: 12 Throgmorton Avenue, London EC2N 2DL. Tel: Registered in England No For your protection telephone calls are usually recorded. BlackRock is a trading name of BlackRock Investment Management (UK) Limited. All financial investments involve an element of risk. Therefore, the value of your investment and the income from it will vary and your initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed. BlackRock have not considered the suitability of this investment against your individual needs and risk tolerance. To ensure you understand whether our product is suitable, please read the Key Features document, current Shareholder circular and the Annual and Half Yearly Reports which give more information about the risk profile of the investment. We recommend you seek independent professional advice prior to investing. The Trust investments may be subject to liquidity constraints, which means that shares may trade less frequently and in small volumes, for instance smaller companies. As a result, changes in the value of investments may be more unpredictable. In certain cases, it may not be possible to sell the security at the last market price quoted or at a value considered to be fairest. Investment strategies, such as borrowing, used by the Trust can result in even larger losses suffered when the value of the underlying investments fall. The BlackRock Investment Trusts ISA are managed by BlackRock Investment Management (UK) Limited. The BlackRock Investment Trusts Savings Plan is operated by BlackRock Investment Management (UK) Limited. All the trusts are traded on the London Stock Exchange and dealing may only be through a member of the Exchange. The Trust has appointed BlackRock Investment Management (UK) Limited as Investment Manager. It will not invest more than 15% of its gross assets in other listed investment trusts.

This document is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer or invitation to anyone to invest in any BlackRock Group funds and has not been prepared in connection with any such offer. Subject to the express requirements of any client-specific investment management agreement or provisions relating to the management of a fund, we will not provide notice of any changes to our personnel, structure, policies, process, objectives or, without limitation, any other matter contained in this document. 11

12 Important Information Any research in this document has been procured and may have been acted on by BlackRock for its own purpose. The results of such research are being made available only incidentally. The views expressed do not constitute investment or any other advice and are subject to change. They do not necessarily reflect the views of any company in the BlackRock Group or any part thereof and no assurances are made as to their accuracy. Investment companies can borrow to purchase additional investments. This is called "gearing". It allows investment companies to take advantage of a long-term view on a sector or to take advantage of a favourable situation or a particularly attractive stock without having to sell existing investments. Gearing works by magnifying the company's performance. If a company "gears up"and then markets rise and the returns on the investments outstrip the costs of borrowing, the overall returns to investors will be even greater. But if markets fall and the performance of the assets in the portfolio is poor, then losses suffered by the investor will also be magnified. The fund investments may be subject to liquidity constraints, which means that shares may trade less frequently and in small volumes, for instance smaller companies. As a result, changes in the value of investments may be more unpredictable. In certain cases, it may not be possible to sell the security at the last market price quoted or at a value considered to be fairest. Reference to the names of each company mentioned in this communications is merely for explaining the investment strategy, and should not be construed as investment advice or investment recommendation of those companies.
