Update on Portfolio Allocation

This announcement follows up on the statement made by the Chairman on 9 November 2021 following the completion of the scheme of reconstruction (the "Scheme") of Aberdeen New Thai Investment Trust ("ANW" or "New Thai") that the Company would provide an update on its portfolio allocation in the next few days.

Since the Scheme completed on 9 November over £100m has been invested in Chinese equities, taking the exposure to the country to almost 77% of net assets.  This figure is expected to exceed 90% by the end of November. Uninvested cash currently represents around 10% of net assets.

The Company's portfolio no longer contains any holdings that have been identified as a threat to U.S. national security interests as classified by President Biden's Executive Order (the "Order") 14032 that restricts the purchase or sale by US Persons, of the publicly traded securities of certain Chinese Military Industrial Complex companies ("CMICC"s).
