UK reporting fund status information

Certain share classes of the Standard Life Investments Global SICAV have elected to be ‘Reporting Funds’ for UK tax purposes.

The following table shows the share classes which have Reportable Income for the purposes of the UK reporting fund regime in respect of the financial year ending 31 December 2011.

The amount of income treated as received by a UK investor will be any distributions plus any “Amount of reportable income per unit in excess of distributions” (“the excess”) set out below multiplied by the number of shares the investor held at 31 December 2011. Investors should consider whether they need to include this income in their tax return for the relevant year.

For UK tax purposes, UK investors will be treated as receiving the excess on the “Fund distribution date” set out below.

Investors should consult their tax advisor if there is any doubt as to whether, and how, this information is to be included on their tax return.
