AAB Aberdeen International Inc

Aberdeen International Inc. (TSX:AAB) ("Aberdeen" or the "Company") announces
its intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB"), subject to Toronto
Stock Exchange ("Exchange") approval, to buy back its common shares through the
facilities of the Exchange.  Any purchases made pursuant to the NCIB will be
made in accordance with the rules of the TSX and in some instances may be
effected through alternative trading systems and will be made at the market
price of the common shares at the time of the acquisition.


The maximum number of common shares that may be purchased for cancellation
pursuant to the NCIB is that number of common shares that represents 10% of the
common shares in the public float. Based on the 70,739,102 common shares in the
public float as at May 27, 2013, the maximum number of shares to be purchased
and cancelled would be 7,073,910.  Aberdeen notes that the number of its shares
in the public float is less than the 85,994,602 total basic issued and
outstanding Aberdeen common shares as of May 27, 2013, because the public float
number does not include common shares held by Aberdeen insiders. Daily purchases
will be limited to 50,036 common shares other than block purchase exceptions. 
This number represents 25% of the average daily trading volume for the six month
period from November 1, 2012 to April 30, 2013.  The actual number of common
shares that would be purchased, if any, and the timing of such purchases will be
determined by Aberdeen considering market conditions, stock prices, its cash
position, and other factors.  Aberdeen made a previous NCIB that terminated
effective February 26, 2013, pursuant to which Aberdeen purchased 1,005,500
securities at a weighted average price per security of $0.41.


The Board of Directors of Aberdeen believes that the underlying value of the
Company is not reflected in the current market price of its common shares, and
may not be so reflected at certain times during the course of the NCIB, and has
thus concluded that the repurchase of common shares pursuant to the proposed
NCIB presently constitutes an appropriate use of financial resources and would
be in the best interest of Aberdeen shareholders.


Purchases under the NCIB are permitted to commence on May 30, 2013 and will
terminate on May 29, 2014 or the date upon which the maximum number of common
shares have been purchased by Aberdeen pursuant to the NCIB. There cannot be any
assurance as to how many common shares, if any, will ultimately be acquired by
Aberdeen under the NCIB. Aberdeen intends that any shares acquired pursuant to
the NCIB will be cancelled.


Aberdeen will make no purchases of common shares other than open market
purchases that may be made during the period that the NCIB is outstanding.
