Revised Management Fee Arrangements
The Board of Aberdeen Standard Equity Income Trust plc (the "Company") announces that it has reached agreement with its Manager, Aberdeen Standard Fund Managers Limited ("ASFML"), to revise the fees payable under the Investment Management Agreement. Under the revised agreement the management fee will be calculated on a net assets basis rather than a total assets basis and the threshold at which a lower fee rate will apply will be reduced from £250m to £175m. Accordingly, with effect from 1 October 2019, the fees payable to ASFML will be calculated at a rate of 0.65% per annum of net assets up to £175 million and at a rate of 0.55% per annum of net assets above this level.
