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 reflects the fact that the voting rights held indirectly by
the underlying investment management entity abrdn Investment Management
Limited (“aIML”) increased above the 5% notifiable threshold due to an
internal corporate restructure on 31 August 2022. aIML now holds the delegated
voting rights to 7.804363% of the shares in Bodycote plc.
For the same reason, the voting rights effectively held indirectly by the
underlying intermediate holding company Ignis Asset Management Limited
("IAML") and held by the underlying investment management entity Ignis
Investment Services Limited ("IISL") decreased below the 5% notifiable
threshold on 31 August 2022. Prior to this crossing, IAML effectively held and
IISL held the delegated voting rights to 5.536041% of the shares in Bodycote
plc.
