BLACKROCK FRONTIERS INVESTMENT TRUST PLC

Tender Offer update – Tender Price

Further to the announcement on 23 February 2026, the Board of BlackRock Frontiers Investment Trust plc (the “ Company ”) confirms that all the assets in the Tender Pool have been fully realised. The Tender Pool Determination Date was 24 March 2026 and, as at that date, the Final Tender Offer Asset Value was £48,139,318.67, giving a Tender Price of 186.01 pence per Exit Share.

Winterflood will, as principal, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Tender Offer, buy 25,628,728 Ordinary Shares (being the 25,878,728 Exit Shares less the 250,000 On-Sale Shares placed into the market) at the Tender Price in the market then sell these Ordinary Shares to the Company at the Tender Price in accordance with the Repurchase Agreement, with this expected to happen on 1 April 2026. All of the repurchased Ordinary Shares will be transferred into and held in treasury until further notice.

Cheques or electronic payments (if there is an electronic payment mandate on file) are expected to be dispatched to certificated Shareholders and payments are expected to be made through CREST to uncertificated Shareholders on or around 1 April 2026.

Following the repurchase the Company will have 241,822,801 Ordinary Shares in issue (including 78,181,281 Ordinary Shares held in treasury). The total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights in the Company is 163,641,520 and this figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company.

Capitalised terms used in this announcement, unless otherwise defined, have the same meanings as set out in the circular published by the Company on 10 December 2025.

Certain Overseas Shareholders are being excluded from the Tender Offer in order to avoid breaching applicable local laws relating to the implementation of the Tender Offer.   It is the responsibility of all Overseas Shareholders to satisfy themselves as to the observance of any legal requirements in their jurisdiction, including, without limitation, any relevant requirements in relation to the ability of such holders to participate in the Tender Offer.

Winterflood Securities Limited (“ Winterflood ”), which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom, is acting exclusively for the Company and no-one else in connection with the Proposals and will not be responsible to anyone other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to customers of Winterflood or for providing advice in relation to the Tender Offer or any matter referred to in the Circular or herein.   Nothing herein   shall serve to exclude or limit any responsibilities which Winterflood may have under the FSMA or the regulatory regime established thereunder.

Any decision to participate in the Tender Offer should only be made on the basis of an independent review by an Eligible Shareholder of the Company's publicly available information.

Notice for U.S. Shareholders

The Tender Offer relates to securities in a non-U.S. company registered in England and Wales and listed on the London Stock Exchange and is subject to the disclosure requirements, rules and practices applicable to companies listed in the United Kingdom, which differ from those of the United States in certain material respects. A circular has been prepared in accordance with UK style and practice for the purpose of complying with the laws of England and Wales and the rules of the FCA and of the London Stock Exchange, and U.S. Shareholders should read the entire circular. The Tender Offer is not subject to the disclosure and other procedural requirements of Regulation 14D under the U.S. Exchange Act. The Tender Offer will be made in the United States pursuant to Section 14(e) of, and Regulation 14E under, the U.S. Exchange Act, subject to the exemptions provided by Rule 14d-1 thereunder and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of the rules of the FCA and the London Stock Exchange. Accordingly, the Tender Offer will be subject to disclosure and other procedural requirements that are different from those applicable under U.S. domestic tender offer procedures and law. The Company is not listed on a U.S. securities exchange, is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the U.S. Exchange Act and is not required to, and does not, file any reports with the SEC thereunder.

It may be difficult for U.S. Shareholders to enforce certain rights and claims arising in connection with the Tender Offer under U.S. federal securities laws since the Company is located outside the United States and its officers and directors reside outside the United States. It may not be possible to sue a non-U.S. company or its officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of U.S. securities laws. It also may not be possible to compel a non-U.S. company or its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment.

To the extent permitted by applicable law and in accordance with normal UK practice, the Company, Winterflood or any of their affiliates, may make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, Ordinary Shares outside the United States during the period in which the Tender Offer remains open for acceptance, including purchases of Ordinary Shares effected by Winterflood acting as market maker in the Ordinary Shares.
