Explanation of Responses:

1. On October 2, 2019, Aberdeen Income Credit Strategies Fund (the "Fund") announced the commencement of a pro rata offering (the "Rights Offering") of transferable rights (the "Rights") to holders of the Fund's common shares, as of the record date of October 16, 2019 ("Record Date Shareholder"), entitling the holders of such rights to subscribe for up to an aggregate of 4,358,024 of the Fund's common shares. Record Date Shareholders received one Right for each outstanding whole common share held on the record date. The Rights entitled their holders to purchase one new common share for every three Rights held. The subscription price per common share was $10.17 and was fixed as of the close of the subscription period on November 13, 2019 (the "basic subscription privilege"). The Rights Offering also includes an oversubscription privilege, (continued in footnote 2)

2. which entitled holders who fully exercised their basic subscription privilege the right to purchase, at a price of $10.17 per common share, additional common shares of the Fund, subject to availability and pro rata allocation of shares among Record Date Shareholders exercising such oversubscription privilege. The reporting person exercised his basic subscription right and oversubscription privilege in full and expects to participate in the Fund's allocation of available shares at the close of the subscription period. The subscription rights expired on November 13, 2019 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time.
