Total Voting Rights

Aberdeen Asset Management PLC ("Aberdeen")

In accordance with the DTR rule 5.6.1 of the Financial Services Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules we would like to notify the market of the following:

Aberdeen's issued share capital as at 11 December 2012 consists of 1,198,405,457 ordinary shares with voting rights. Aberdeen does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury.

There are also 8,945,316 ordinary shares under option which if exercised (in accordance with their terms) would result in a further 8,945,316 ordinary shares in issue with voting rights.

There are no longer any 3.5% convertible bonds 2014 in issue as all bondholders have now exercised their rights to convert to ordinary shares in the Company. 

The above figure of 1,198,405,457 ordinary shares 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, Aberdeen under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
