Third capital distribution by way of B Share scheme

abrdn European Logistics Income plc (the "Company" or "ASLI") announces its
third capital distribution under the B Share scheme.

Approved B Share Scheme

Following the completion of recent asset sales, the Board has resolved to
return approximately £53.5 million in aggregate net sales proceeds to
Shareholders under the B Share scheme.

B Shares will be allotted and issued to Shareholders pro rata to their
holdings of Ordinary Shares as at the Record Date. No fractions of B Shares
will be issued and entitlements will be rounded down to the nearest whole B
Share. The B Shares carry only limited rights and full details of their rights
and restrictions are set out in Part 3 of the Company's circular, dated 6
November 2024, available on the Company's website at www.abrdn.com/en-gb/asli
(http://www.abrdn.com/en-gb/asli) under the Literature section.

No share certificates will be issued in respect of the B Shares, no CREST
accounts will be credited with such shares, and no application will be made
for the B Shares to be admitted to listing or trading on any exchange.

B Shares will be issued and redeemed by the Company's registrar, Equiniti.
Each redemption will be at the option of the Company and undertaken shortly
after issue. At that time, all B Shares in issue will be compulsorily redeemed
and cancelled in accordance with their terms for an amount equal to the
nominal value paid up on the B Shares.

Redemption proceeds will be delivered via CREST to uncertificated Shareholders
and by cheque to certificated Shareholders.

Third B Share Scheme Distribution

Pursuant to the authority received from Shareholders at the general meeting
held on 22 November 2024, the Board has approved the issue of further B Shares
of one penny each, paid up from the Company's special distributable reserve,
created by the cancellation of the share premium account. B Shares will be
issued to Shareholders by way of a bonus issue on the basis of 13 B Shares for
every 1 Ordinary Share held at the Record Date of 6.00 p.m. on 16 September
2025 (ex-date: 15 September 2025).

The B Shares will be issued and immediately redeemed on 17 September 2025,
with redemption proceeds equivalent to 13.0 pence per Ordinary Share. Payments
will be made on 30 September 2025 through CREST to uncertificated Shareholders
or via cheque to certificated Shareholders.

This third distribution follows prior returns of 4.0 pence (20 March 2025) and
12.0 pence per Ordinary share (13 August 2025). Inclusive of this
distribution, Shareholders will have received a total of 29.0 pence per
Ordinary share, equivalent to an aggregate return of approximately £119.5
million.

NOTE: NO SHARE CERTIFICATES WILL BE ISSUED IN RESPECT OF B SHARES
