    BlackRock Income Trust (BKT) (the "Fund") announced today the results of the Measurement Period (as defined below) under its previously announced discount management program (the "Program").

    Under the Program, the Fund intends to offer to repurchase a minimum of 5% of its outstanding common shares if the Fund's common shares trade at an average daily discount to net asset value ("NAV") of greater than 7.50% during the twelve-week measurement period that commenced on July 9, 2025 and ended on September 30, 2025 (the "Measurement Period"). The average daily premium/(discount) to NAV for the Fund during the Measurement Period is summarized below.

    Based on the average daily premium/(discount) during the Measurement Period, a tender offer is not required under the Program and therefore the Fund will not be conducting a tender offer.

    The Program is part of the Fund's ongoing effort to manage its premium/discount to NAV, enhance long-term shareholder value and provide liquidity to the market for its common shareholders. There can be no assurances as to the effect, if any, that the Program will have on the market for the Fund's shares or the discount at which the Fund's shares may trade relative to its NAV.
