This disclosure also reflects the fact that the voting rights held indirectly by the underlying intermediate holding company Aberdeen Asset Management PLC (“AAMPLC”) decreased below the 5% notifiable threshold due to trading on 16 July 2018. “AAMPLC” now effectively holds the delegated voting rights to 4.72% of the shares in Oxford Instruments plc. Prior to this crossing, “AAMPLC” effectively held 5.05% of the delegated voting rights. | |||||||
