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 the voting rights effectively held indirectly by the underlying intermediate holding company Standard Life Investments (Holdings) Limited ("SLIHL") decreased below a notifiable threshold due to trading on 1 August 2019. SLIHL now effectively holds the delegated voting rights to 10.98% of the shares in Kainos Group plc. Prior to this crossing, SLIHL effectively held 11.03% of the delegated voting rights
