11. 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 is to reflect the fact that previous disclosures detailed that none of the voting rights attached to shares were directly held as there was an inter-company delegation agreement which delegated management and voting discretion to one of abrdn plc's underlying investment management entities, abrdn Investment Management Limited. However this delegation agreement has been updated to reflect that abrdn plc directly holds management and voting discretion for those shares detailed in Sections 8A and 9.As a consequence of the above, this disclosure reflects the fact that the voting rights held directly by abrdn plc are above the 10% notifiable threshold as at 30 September 2022.
As of 30 September 2022, abrdn plc directly holds 10.410974% of the delegated voting rights of the shares in Phoenix Group Holdings PLC.
