All holdings you wish to add to your abrdn plc Share Portal must match the name and address of existing holdings already in the abrdn plc Share Portal.
If you hold ordinary shares then this is generally due to a restriction that may
be in place against your holding(s). Please contact our helpline on +44 371 384 2464 for further information.
If you are an employee this is because we do not accept changes to address or
bank details online. You can change your address by calling our helpline on +44 371 384 2464, however
you must ensure that you also notify your HR department. Failure to do this will
mean that your address will revert back when we receive the next employee
maintenance file from your employing company.
You can also change your address by completing and returning a
change
of Address form.
You can change your bank details by completing and returning a

Your shareholding may have been affected by the share consolidation exercises carried out by the Company following the sale of the Canadian businesses in 2015 and the sale of the UK and European Insurance business to Phoenix in 2018. You can find out more below:
Sale of Standard Life Canadian businesses - 2015
Following the completion of the sale of Standard Life’s Canadian businesses, Standard Life (now abrdn) returned 73 pence in cash to shareholders for each existing Ordinary Share held at 6pm (UK time) on 13 March 2015. The cash was returned through a B/C Share Scheme, which included a consolidation of the existing Ordinary Shares at a ratio of 9 new Ordinary Shares for every 11 existing Ordinary Shares held. While the number of Ordinary Shares that a shareholder held was reduced, shareholders continued to own broadly the same proportion of the Company.
Sale of the UK and European Insurance business to Phoenix - 2018
Following the completion of the sale of the UK and European Insurance business to Phoenix, Standard Life Aberdeen (now abrdn), returned 33.99 pence in cash to shareholders for each existing Ordinary Share held at 6pm (UK time) on 19 October 2018. The cash was returned through a B share scheme, which included a consolidation of the existing Ordinary Shares at a ratio of 7 new Ordinary Shares for every 8 existing Ordinary Shares held. While the number of Ordinary Shares that a shareholder held was reduced, shareholders continued to own broadly the same proportion of the Company.
