Aberdeen Emerging Markets Investment Company Limited (the "Company")

Legal Entity Identifier: 213800RIA1NX8DP4P938

Compliance with US Executive Order 13959

Following the US Presidential Executive Order 13959 dated 12 November 2020, which prohibits US Persons from purchasing "publicly traded securities" of 35 Chinese companies identified as Communist Chinese Military Companies, the Company can confirm that it has no direct investments in any of these 35 companies.  It does, however, have indirect exposure via a number of its holdings.  Following analysis of the Company's holdings by the Manager, this indirect exposure only amounts to approximately 0.6% of the Company's Net Asset Value.  The Company does not expect to have any exposure (direct or indirect) to these 35 companies by 11 November 2021.

This announcement is only anticipated to be of interest to Shareholders who are US Persons, who should seek their own advice on this matter.
