Aberdeen Group plc

(the 'Company')

The notification set out below is provided under Article 19 of the Market
Abuse Regulation ('MAR').

On 14 November 2025, the Company granted to Siobhan Boylan the following
awards ('Buyout Awards') to compensate for remuneration she forfeited on
leaving her previous employer.

The Buyout Awards were structured as conditional awards to acquire ordinary
shares in the Company and were granted under a one-off award arrangement
established under UK Listing Rule 9.3.2(2) in order to facilitate the
recruitment of Ms Boylan.

The vesting timelines are the same as those which applied to the forfeited
awards.

Further details will be disclosed in the Company's Directors' Remuneration
Report for the year ending 31 December 2025.

Awards have been made in the form of conditional awards to acquire ordinary
shares in the Company which are subject to time-based vesting.

The Awards will normally vest on the dates shown below and vested awards are
subject to a holding period of one year. After this date they are released,
and the shares are transferred.
