Additional Information
In reference to
Section 9, the shares detailed are managed by the named
discretionary investment management entity within multiple
portfolios on behalf of underlying clients, based on investment
management agreements whereby the client has delegated the exercise
of the voting power to the referenced investment
manager.
This disclosure
reflects the fact that the voting rights effectively held
indirectly by the underlying intermediate holding company abrdn
Holdings Limited (“a(H)L”) and held by the underlying investment
management entity abrdn Investments Limited
(“aIL”)
increased above
the 5% notifiable threshold due to an internal clarification of
current position on 26 February
2024.
a(H)L now
effectively holds and aIL holds the delegated voting rights to
5.084843% of the shares in Oxford Instruments plc.
