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 amending its 
disclosure policy to include on 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 7 March 2023 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 3,143,140 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.
