For Immediate Release

ABRDN DIVERSIFIED INCOME AND GROWTH PLC

(the "Company")

Update on Managed Wind-Down

The Board is pleased to announce that the Company has completed two further secondary sales of its fund investments and private market assets ("Fund Interests") (the "Newly Completed Sales") raising gross consideration of approximately £13.8 million. In addition, the Company has entered into further conditional sale and purchase agreements in respect of an additional Fund Interest (the "Newly Agreed Sale") for gross consideration of approximately £13.3 million (subject to customary completion adjustments and before transaction costs).

As previously reported, each of the Fund Interests sold pursuant to the Newly Completed Sales were being carried by the Company at the agreed sale price in the Company's last reported net asset value ("NAV") (as at 31 December 2025), which also included accruals for the Company's expected transaction, operating and liquidation costs. Furthermore, in the light of the advanced stage of negotiations, the Fund Interest to be sold pursuant to the Newly Agreed Sale was also being carried by the Company at the agreed sale price in the 31 December 2025 NAV.

These recent developments leave only the Fund Interest that is the subject of the Newly Agreed Sale and the remaining 50 per cent. of an additional Fund Interest subject to the Company's secondary sales process (together, the "Remaining Sales").(1) Both of the Remaining Sales are now subject to signed conditional sale agreements. The completion of the Remaining Sales remains subject to certain conditions but are currently expected to complete during the week commencing 16 March 2026. Accordingly, the Board expects to write to shareholders of the Company shortly regarding proposals to place the Company into members' voluntary liquidation. 

The timing of receipt of consideration from the Remaining Sales will be driven by the closing date of the transaction.
