Appendix E – Initial Charges and Management FeesInitial ChargesThe current initial charge applied for investment into Class A, Class D and Class E Shares is 4.25%. This charge is purely indicative and issubject to an increase of up to the maximum initial charge provided for in the Prospectus. The hedged versions of Class A Shares have thesame initial charge as the underlying Class of Share.Currently, no initial charge is charged for investment into Class C, Class I, Class J, Class K or Class Z Shares and the hedged versions of theseClasses of Share.Contingent Deferred Sales ChargeA contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% of the Share Price of the Shares being redeemed, is imposed on Class C Shares and the hedgedversions of Class C Shares, if the shareholder redeems their Shares within one year of purchase.The contingent deferred sales charge will be calculated as a percentage of the lesser of the relevant Share Price of the Shares on the date ofredemption or the date of issue, exclusive of reinvestments.In determining whether a contingent deferred sales charge is applicable to the proceeds of a redemption, the calculation will be made inthe manner which results in the lowest possible charge. Thus, it will be assumed that the Class C Shares (or the hedged versions of ClassC Shares) first being redeemed are those Shares held by the shareholder which are not subject to a contingent deferred sales charge then,after that, those which have been held by the shareholder for the longest period of time.Investors should note that in the case of Class C Shares and the hedged versions of Class C Shares, a distributor fee of 1.00% per annum ofthe Net Asset Value of the relevant Class is payable by Aberdeen Global IV to the Global Distributor for providing distribution services (i.e.co-ordinating sales and marketing activities). This fee is accrued daily and paid monthly in arrears.The Global Distributor reserves the right, at its discretion, to reallocate the Distributor’s Fees, in whole or in part to certain recognizedfinancial intermediaries or institutions.Management Fees (% of Net Asset Value)Fund NameClass A1,Class C2,Class Dand Class ESharesClass IShares3Class JShares4Class KShares5Class ZShares6Aberdeen Global IV – Core Plus Index Linked Bond Fund 1.00% 0.40% 0.30% 0.15% 0.00%Aberdeen Global IV – Core Plus Long Dated Sterling 1.00% 0.40% 0.30% 0.15% 0.00%Bond Fund*Aberdeen Global IV – Core Plus Long Dated Sterling 1.00% 0.40% 0.30% 0.15% 0.00%Credit FundAberdeen Global IV – Core Plus Sterling Bond Fund 1.00% 0.40% 0.30% 0.15% 0.00%Aberdeen Global – Core Plus Sterling Credit Fund 1.00% 0.40% 0.30% 0.15% 0.00%Aberdeen Global IV – Fixed Income Alpha Fund 1.00% 0.40% 0.30% 0.15% 0.00%Aberdeen Global IV – Diversified Fixed Income Fund * 1.50% 0.50% 0.30% 0.15% 0.00%*These Funds will be launched at a future date to be confirmed by the Directors of Aberdeen Global IV.Note:1 The hedged versions of Class A Shares will bear the same management charge as the underlying Class A Share for the relevant Fund.2 Class C Shares are only accessible to investors whose investment is covered by a suitable agreement with the Investment Manager orone of its Associates.
