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 also reflects the fact that the voting rights effectively held indirectly by the underlying intermediate holding company Aberdeen Asset Management PLC ("AAMPLC") decreased below the 10% notifiable threshold due to trading on 3 November 2020.  AAMPLC now effectively holds the delegated voting rights to 9.18% of the shares in M.P. Evans Group PLC.  Prior to this crossing, AAMPLC effectively held 10.13% of the delegated voting rights.
