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 consists of 1,144,111,252 ordinary shares with voting rights. Aberdeen does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury.

There are also in existence 4,230 convertible preference share units which each consist of one preference share in Aberdeen (which in certain limited circumstances has voting rights) and one warrant to subscribe for preference shares in Aberdeen Warrants (Jersey) Limited ("JerseyCo"). Upon the exercise of a warrant, preference shares in JerseyCo will be issued which are then (in accordance with the terms of the JerseyCo warrants) immediately exchangeable for ordinary shares in Aberdeen. The total number of ordinary shares in Aberdeen which could result after the exercise of warrants and subsequent share exchange are 4,597,826 ordinary shares with voting rights.

There are also 20,243,400 ordinary shares under option which if exercised (in accordance with their terms) would result in a further 20,243,400 ordinary shares in issue with voting rights.

There are also 900 3.5% convertible bonds 2014 in issue which can be converted in accordance with the terms of issue of such bonds into a total of 48,648,649 ordinary shares with voting rights.

The above figure of 1,144,111,252 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.
