  11. Additional information(xvi) 
 
    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 is to reflect the fact that the voting rights effectively 
    held indirectly by the underlying intermediate holding company Aberdeen 
    Asset Management PLC ("AAM PLC") decreased below the 5% notifiable threshold 
    due to trading on 21 September 2018. AAM PLC now effectively holds the 
    delegated voting rights to 4.98% of the shares in Royal Mail plc. Prior 
    to this crossing, AAM PLC held 5.02% of the delegated voting rights.
