Re:  Aberdeen Funds—Additional Funds Letter, and Fund Liquidation and Name Change

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made to the Sub-Administration between State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Sub-Administrator”) and Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. (the “Administrator”) dated as of June 1, 2010, as amended and supplemented (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, this letter is to provide notice of the creation of Aberdeen U.S. Mid Cap Equity Fund, a new Fund (as defined in the Agreement) of Aberdeen Funds.

 

In accordance with Section 1 of the Agreement, we request that you act as Sub-Administrator with respect to the additional Fund listed above.  A current Schedule A to the Agreement is attached hereto. In connection with such request, the undersigned hereby confirms to you, as of the date hereof, the representations and warranties in Section 4 of the Agreement.

 

Further, the Board of Trustees approved changing the name of the Aberdeen Small Cap Fund to “Aberdeen U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund” and the name of the Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund to “Aberdeen International Small Cap Fund”, both changes to be effective on or about February 29, 2016. Additionally, a correction has been made to the former Aberdeen U.S. Equity Fund to correctly reflect that the new name of the Fund is Aberdeen U.S. Multi-Cap Equity Fund.

 

The foregoing changes are reflected in the attached current Schedule A to the Agreement.

 

Please indicate your acceptance of the foregoing by executing two copies of this letter, returning one to Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. and retaining one for your records.
