ABERDEEN WARRANTS (JERSEY) LIMITED ("Jerseyco")

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:

Jerseyco's issued share capital consists of 2 founders shares of no par value with voting rights. Jerseyco does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury.

There are also in existence 39,649 convertible preference share units which each consist of one preference share in Aberdeen Asset Management PLC (which in certain limited circumstances has voting rights) and one warrant to subscribe for preference shares in Jerseyco. Upon the exercise of a warrant, preference shares in Jerseyco will be issued (which in certain limited circumstances have voting rights) which are then (in accordance with the terms of the Jerseyco warrants) immediately exchangeable for ordinary shares in Aberdeen Asset Management PLC.

The above figure of 2 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, Jerseyco under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
