The registered holder (the “Holder”) of this Subscription Certificate named below, or the assignee, is entitled to the number of transferable Rights shown above to subscribe for common shares of beneficial interest, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Shares”), of Aberdeen Income Credit Strategies Fund (the “Fund”), in the ratio of one Common Share for each three Rights, pursuant to the primary subscription (the “Primary Subscription”) and upon the terms and conditions and at the price for each Common Share specified in the Prospectus Supplement, dated [ ], and the accompanying Prospectus, dated [ ], 2019 (collectively the “Prospectus”) relating thereto. If you are a Record Date Shareholder and hold fewer than three Rights, you are entitled to subscribe for one Common Share.

Under the Over-Subscription Privilege, as described in the Prospectus, any number of additional Common Shares may be purchased by a Record Date Shareholder if such Common Shares are available and the owner’s Rights under the Primary Subscription have been fully exercised and the pro rata allocation requirements have been satisfied. Any additional payment required from a participating Holder of Rights must be received by the Subscription Agent by 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date of [ ], 2019, unless the Offer is extended. Any excess payment to be refunded by the Fund to a Record Date Shareholder who is not allocated the full amount of Common Shares subscribed for pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege will be returned to him or her by mail by the Subscription Agent as promptly as practicable. A participating Holder of Rights will have no right to rescind a purchase after the Subscription Agent has received a properly completed and executed Subscription Certificate and payment by means of a check. This Subscription Certificate may be transferred, in the same manner and with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument payable to specific persons, by duly completing and signing the assignment on the reverse side hereof. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Subscription Certificate shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Prospectus relating to the Rights. This Subscription Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

If you are not exercising in full your Primary Subscription, check box E below and we will attempt to sell any remaining unexercised Rights.

Please note that $[ ] is an estimated price only. The Subscription Price will be determined on [ ], 2019, the Expiration Date (unless extended) and could be higher or lower than the estimated Subscription Price depending on changes in the net asset value and market price of the Common Shares.

To subscribe for any Common Shares under the Over-Subscription Privilege, please complete line “B “ below.

Please Note: Only Record Date Shareholders who have exercised all of their Rights under the Primary Subscription in full may apply for Common Shares pursuant to the Over- Subscription Privilege.

Payment for Common Shares: (i) Full payment for both the Common Shares to be issued under the Primary Subscription and pursuant to exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege and/or (ii) a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery must accompany this Subscription Certificate. Please reference your rights card control number on your check or Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.

If the aggregate estimated Subscription Price paid by a Record Date Shareholder is insufficient to purchase, at the estimated Subscription Price, the number of Common Shares that the participating Holder of Rights indicates are being subscribed for, or if a Record Date Shareholder does not specify the number of Common Shares to be purchased, then the Record Date Shareholder will be deemed to have exercised first, its Rights under the Primary Subscription (if not already fully exercised) and second, the Over-Subscription Privilege to purchase Common Shares to the full extent of the payment rendered. If the aggregate estimated Subscription Price paid by a Record Date Shareholder exceeds the amount necessary to purchase the number of Common Shares for which the participating Holder of Rights has indicated an intention to subscribe, then the Record Date Shareholder will be deemed to have exercised first, the Primary Subscription (if not already fully exercised) and second, the Over-Subscription Privilege to the full extent of the excess payment tendered.
