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 795,558,118 ordinary shares with voting rights. Aberdeen does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury.
There are also in existence 39,994 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 42,546,808 ordinary shares with voting rights.
There are also 23,868,800 ordinary shares under option which if exercised (in accordance with their terms) would result in a further 23,868,800 ordinary shares in issue with voting rights.
The above figure of 795,558,118 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.
