<p align="center" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:center;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">to be held on October&nbsp;18, 2018</font></p>

The Meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m.&nbsp;Eastern time.&#160; A Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and a WHITE proxy card (the &#147;Proxy&#148;) accompany this Proxy Statement.&#160; This Proxy Statement is first being mailed to shareholders on or about September&nbsp;[&nbsp;&nbsp;], 2018.</p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Meeting had previously been scheduled for September&nbsp;19, 2018, but has been rescheduled to October&nbsp;18, 2018. Shareholders had previously been mailed proxy materials, including a proxy card, on or about August&nbsp;15, 2018 relating to the Meeting. Prior to the change of manager to Aberdeen Asset Managers Limited (&#147;AAML&#148; or the &#147;Investment Adviser&#148;) and the election of four new members of the Board on May&nbsp;4, 2018, both of which were approved at a special meeting of shareholders held on March&nbsp;14, 2018, an activist hedge fund (i)&nbsp;announced its intention to nominate one new nominee to the Board of Trustees of the Fund at the Meeting, and (ii)&nbsp;submitted a proposal to declassify the Board for consideration at the Meeting. <b>Because of these changes, any older form of proxy card received by the Fund will be disregarded, and you will need to submit a new WHITE proxy card, even if your vote has not changed.</b></font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As a threshold matter, the activist hedge fund proposals relate to the prior Fund manager and prior Board and are not relevant to the current Fund manager and current Board. The activist hedge fund&#146;s principal claim regarding the Fund&#146;s performance is that the Fund has been subject to &#147;mismanagement by [its] investment manager, Alpine Woods Capital Investors, LLC.&#148; However, Alpine Woods Capital Investors, LLC (&#147;Alpine&#148;) is no longer the Fund&#146;s manager. Further, the activist hedge fund nominee is proposed to replace Samuel A. Lieber, who was an interested Trustee when the Fund was advised by Alpine and who resigned from the Board on May&nbsp;4, 2018 when the Fund transitioned to the new manager.</font></p>

The persons named as proxy holders on the Proxy will vote in their discretion on any other matters that may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.&#160; Any Proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise by submitting a properly executed, subsequently dated Proxy, giving written notice to Megan Kennedy, Secretary of the Fund, 1735 Market Street, 32</font><font size="1" style="font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-3.0pt;">nd</font>&#160;Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103, or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">With regard to Proposal 1, the election of a Trustee to the Board requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares entitled to vote for the election of any Trustee present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting with a quorum present. Under the Fund&#146;s Agreement and Declaration of Trust, a quorum is constituted by the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders representing a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund on the record date entitled to vote on a matter. For purposes of Proposal 1, abstentions and broker non-votes (<i>i.e.</i>, proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that they have not received instructions from the beneficial owners on an item for which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power to vote) will be counted as shares present for quorum purposes, but will not be treated as votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes, therefore, will have no effect on the election of a candidate as a Trustee.&#160; All properly executed proxies received prior to the Meeting will be voted, at the Meeting or at any adjournments or postponements thereof, in accordance with the instructions marked thereon. Proxies received on the WHITE proxy card prior to the Meeting on which no vote with respect to Proposal 1 is indicated will be voted &#147;FOR&#148; the election of Mr.&nbsp;Sievwright as Trustee.</font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Proposal 2 must&nbsp;be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund on the record date entitled to vote on the matter. As stated above with respect to Proposal 1, abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as shares present for quorum purposes but will not be treated as votes cast with respect to Proposal 2. Abstentions and broker non-votes, therefore, will have the effect of a vote against Proposal 2.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Brokers holding shares of the Fund in &#147;street name&#148; for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on each Proposal. Under the rules&nbsp;of the NYSE, such brokers may, for certain &#147;routine&#148; matters, grant discretionary authority to the proxies designated by the Board to vote if no instructions have been received from their customers and clients prior to the date specified in the brokers&#146; request for voting instructions. Neither Proposal is a &#147;routine&#148; matter and accordingly beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions or who do not return a proxy card will not have their shares voted by broker-dealer firms in favor of either Proposal.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The chairman of the Meeting shall have the power to adjourn the Meeting without further notice other than announcement at the Meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, and regardless of the number of shares then voted for or against a Proposal. The Board also has the power to postpone the Meeting to a later date and/or time in advance of the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect at any adjourned or postponed meeting as noted above. Any business that might have been transacted at the Meeting may be transacted at any such adjourned or postponed session(s)&nbsp;at which a quorum is present.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We will admit to the Meeting (1)&nbsp;all shareholders of record on July&nbsp;20, 2018 (the &#147;Record Date&#148;), (2)&nbsp;persons holding proof of beneficial ownership at the Record Date, such as a letter or account statement from the person&#146;s broker, (3)&nbsp;persons who have been granted proxies, and (4)&nbsp;such other persons that we, in our sole discretion, may elect to admit. To gain admittance, if you are a shareholder of record or a proxy holder of a shareholder of record, you must bring a form of personal identification to the Meeting, where your name will be verified against our shareholder list. If a broker or other nominee holds your shares and you plan to attend the Meeting, you should bring a recent brokerage statement showing your ownership of the shares, as well as a form of personal identification. If you are a beneficial owner and plan to vote at the Meeting, you should also bring a proxy card from your broker.</font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board has fixed the close of business on July&nbsp;20, 2018 as the Record Date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. Shareholders on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote for each share held.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Yes.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">You may receive a different proxy statement (along with a [GOLD] proxy card) from the activist hedge fund managed by Saba Capital Management, L.P. (&#147;Saba&#148;), seeking approval of its self-interested proposal to declassify the Board so that all Trustees are elected annually and nominating its dissident nominee who is unfamiliar with the Fund.&nbsp; Please discard any [GOLD] proxy card that you receive from the activist hedge fund. Do not return it, even to withhold votes from the activist hedge fund&#146;s nominees or to vote against its proposal, because doing so will cancel out any previously-submitted votes on the Fund&#146;s WHITE proxy card. We are not responsible for the accuracy of any information provided by or related to the activist hedge fund or the nominee contained in any proxy solicitation materials filed or disseminated by, or on behalf of, the activist hedge fund or any other statements that the activist hedge fund or its representatives have made or may otherwise make.</font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

In contrast, the&nbsp;Board believes that the activist hedge fund nominee&nbsp;will seek to advance the short-term goals of the activist hedge fund that nominated him rather than the long-term goals of Fund shareholders.</font></p>

Each year, the term of office of one class will expire and the successor(s)&nbsp;elected to such class will serve for a three year term.&#160; Therefore, at least one Board nominee is presented to shareholders every year.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Why is a classified board structure beneficial?</font></i></b></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board is comprised of highly qualified individuals that are committed to the Fund&#146;s long-term ability to achieve its investment objective. The Board believes that the classified board structure continues to provide the Fund and its shareholders with important benefits, including strengthening the independence of the Board and providing stability and continuity of management. Electing Trustees to three-year terms enhances the independence of non-management Trustees by providing them with a longer term of office. This longer term provides additional independence from management and from special interest groups, such as the dissident shareholder that made the declassification proposal (Proposal 2), which may have an agenda contrary to the long-term interests of all shareholders. Independent trustees are able to make decisions that are in the best interest of Fund shareholders. The classified board prevents a complete turnover of the Board, and a corresponding radical change in direction, in any one year.&#160; The benefits of a classified board structure are described more fully in the &#147;Statement of the Board of Trustees in Opposition of the Shareholder Proposal&#148; under Proposal 2.</font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Why do the Trustees recommend that I vote against Proposal 2?</font></i></b></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">After careful and thoughtful consideration, the Board, including the independent Trustees who constitute a majority of the Fund&#146;s Board, has unanimously determined that Proposal 2 to declassify the Board is <i>not</i> in the best interests of the Fund or its shareholders.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The classified board structure is beneficial to shareholders as noted directly above and as described more fully in the &#147;Statement of the Board of Trustees in Opposition of the Shareholder Proposal&#148; under Proposal 2.&#160; Accordingly, the Trustees unanimously recommend that you vote <b>AGAINST</b> Proposal 2 by promptly completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed <b>WHITE</b> proxy card.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">What other information should I know in deciding how to vote?</font></i></b></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We encourage you to read the entire Proxy Statement because it contains important information about the Board&#146;s nominee to serve as Trustee, information about a shareholder proposal (which the Board recommends you vote <b>AGAINST</b>) and other important information about the Fund, its management and its operations.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">You may also receive a proxy statement from an activist hedge fund managed by Saba, seeking your proxy to elect another nominee to serve as a trustee of the Fund and making claims about the Fund&#146;s performance. These claims seem clearly to be misguided.&#160; As a threshold matter, as further discussed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, Saba&#146;s principal claim regarding the Fund&#146;s performance is that the Fund has been subject to &#147;mismanagement by [its] investment manager, Alpine Woods Capital Investors, LLC.&#148; Alpine is, in fact, no longer the Fund&#146;s investment manager. Effective May&nbsp;4, 2018, the shareholders of the Fund approved a new investment advisory contract with AAML, which is part of Aberdeen Standard Investments (&#147;ASI&#148; or &#147;Aberdeen&#148;), and AAML has served as the Fund&#146;s investment adviser since that time. Saba&#146;s criticisms in this respect are no longer relevant or applicable to the current management of the Fund.</font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Saba, through its hedge funds, invests in closed-end funds and has a history of attempting to cash in on one-time or short-term gains&nbsp;by causing&nbsp;the closed-end funds to conduct debilitating tender offers, open-end fund conversions or other liquidity events. Saba does this to benefit its own hedge funds and to be paid higher fees, and not to benefit the shareholders of the closed-end funds it attacks. <b><u style="font-weight:bold;">Do not be fooled into thinking that Saba&#146;s actions are for the benefit of all shareholders.</u></b> The Board believes that Saba&#146;s actions are harmful to long-term shareholders in the Fund. For example, funds forced into these types of activist actions may be left with significantly less assets and higher expenses and fees, and the remaining shareholders in these funds may see their distributions reduced.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board has appointed Mr.&nbsp;Malone, an Independent Trustee, as Chairman. The Chairman presides at meetings of the Trustees, participates in the preparation of the agenda for meetings of the Board, and acts as a liaison between the Trustees and management between Board meetings. Except for any duties specified herein, the designation of the Chairman does not impose on such Trustee any duties, obligations or liability that is greater than the duties, obligations or liability imposed on such person as a member of the Board, generally.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:36.2pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board holds regular quarterly meetings to consider and address matters involving the Fund.&#160; The Board also may hold special meetings to address matters arising between regular meetings.&#160; The Independent Trustees also meet outside the presence of management in executive session at least quarterly and have engaged separate, independent legal counsel to assist them in performing their oversight responsibilities.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:36.2pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board has established a committee structure that includes an Audit and Valuation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (each discussed in more detail below) to assist the Board in the oversight and direction of the business affairs of the Fund, and from time to time may establish informal ad hoc committees or working groups to review and address the practices of the Fund with respect to specific matters.&#160; The Committee system facilitates the timely and efficient consideration of matters by the Trustees, and facilitates effective oversight of compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and of the Fund&#146;s activities and associated risks.&#160; The standing Committees currently conduct an annual review of their charters, which includes a review of their responsibilities and operations.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board as a whole also conduct an annual self-assessment of the performance of the Board, including consideration of the effectiveness of the Board&#146;s Committee structure.&#160; Each Committee is comprised entirely of Independent Trustees.&#160; Each Committee member is also &#147;independent&#148; within the meaning of the NYSE listing standards.&#160; The Board reviews its structure regularly and believes that its leadership structure, including having a super-majority of Independent Trustees, coupled with an Independent Trustee as Chairman, is appropriate because it allows the Board to exercise informed and independent judgment over the matters under its purview and it allocates areas of responsibility among the Committees and the full Board in a manner that enhances efficient and effective oversight.</font></p>

The Audit and Valuation Committees assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the integrity of the Fund&#146;s accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices, the qualifications and independence of the Fund&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm and the Fund&#146;s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit and Valuation Committee approves, and recommends to the Board for ratification, the selection, appointment, retention or termination of the Fund&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm and approves the compensation of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit and Valuation Committee also approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund by the independent registered public accounting firm and all permissible non-audit services provided by the Fund&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm to the Investment Adviser and service providers if the engagement relates directly to the Fund&#146;s operations and financial reporting. The Audit and Valuation Committee is also responsible for monitoring the valuation of portfolio securities and other investments. The written Charter for each of the Audit Committee and the Valuation Committee is available at the Fund&#146;s website. The written Charter for the Audit and Valuation Committee will be posted on the website when available. During the fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2017, based on available records, the Audit Committee met four times and the Valuation Committee met four times.</font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board has a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the &#147;Nominating Committee&#148;) consisting of all the Independent Trustees. The members of the Nominating Committee are Ms.&nbsp;Maasbach, Mr.&nbsp;Malone and Mr.&nbsp;Sievwright. Mr.&nbsp;Malone serves as the Chairman of the Nominating Committee.&#160; Prior to May&nbsp;4, 2018, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board was composed of the previous Independent Trustees.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Nominating Committee is responsible for overseeing the Board&#146;s governance and related Trustee practices, including selecting and recommending candidates to fill vacancies on the Board. The Nominating Committees will consider Trustee candidates recommended by shareholders of the Fund. Recommendations for consideration by the Nominating Committee should be sent to the Chairman of the Nominating Committee in writing together with the appropriate biographical information concerning each such recommended nominee. In addition, shareholders may themselves nominate individuals for election to the Board of Trustees if they follow the advance notice provisions in the Fund&#146;s By-Laws, as more fully set forth on page&nbsp;[18].</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In identifying and evaluating nominees for Trustee, the Nominating Committee seeks to ensure that the Board possesses, in the aggregate, the strategic, managerial and financial skills and experience necessary to fulfill its duties and to achieve its objectives, and also seeks to ensure that the Board of Trustees is comprised of Trustees who have broad and diverse backgrounds. The Nominating Committee looks at each nominee on a case-by-case basis. In looking at the qualification of each candidate to determine if his or her election would further the goals described above, the Nominating Committee takes into account all factors it considers appropriate, which may include strength of character, mature judgment, career specialization, relevant technical skills or financial acumen, diversity of viewpoint and industry knowledge. However, the Board believes that to be recommended as a nominee, whether by the Nominating Committee or at the suggestion of a shareholder, each candidate must: (1)&nbsp;display the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values; (2)&nbsp;have the ability to exercise sound business judgment; (3)&nbsp;be highly accomplished in his or her respective field; (4)&nbsp;have relevant expertise and experience; (5)&nbsp;be able to represent all shareholders and be committed to enhancing long-term shareholder value; and (6)&nbsp;have sufficient time available to devote to activities of the Board and enhance his or her knowledge of the Fund&#146;s business. Based on available records, the Nominating Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2017. The Board has adopted a written Charter for the Nominating Committee, which is available at the Fund&#146;s website.</font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:36.2pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fund is subject to a number of risks, including, among others, investment, compliance, operational and valuation risks. &nbsp;Risk oversight forms part of the Board&#146;s general oversight of the Fund and is addressed as part of various Board and Committee activities. &nbsp;The Board has adopted, and periodically reviews, policies and procedures designed to address these risks. &nbsp;Different processes, procedures and controls are employed with respect to different types of risks. &nbsp;Day-to-day risk management functions are subsumed within the responsibilities of the Fund&#146;s investment adviser, who carries out the Fund&#146;s investment management and business affairs, and other service providers in connection with the services they provide to the Fund. The investment adviser and other service providers have their own, independent interest in risk management, and their policies and methods of risk management will depend on their functions and business models. &nbsp;As part of its regular oversight of the Fund, the Board, directly and/or through a Committee, interacts with and reviews reports from, among others, the investment adviser and the Fund&#146;s other service providers (including the Fund&#146;s transfer agent), the Fund&#146;s Chief Compliance Officer, the Fund&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm, legal counsel to the Fund, and internal auditors, as appropriate, relating to the operations of the Fund. The Board also requires the investment adviser to report to the Board on other matters relating to risk management on a regular and as-needed basis. &nbsp;The Board recognizes that it may not be possible to identify all of the risks that may affect the Fund or to develop processes and controls to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects. &nbsp;The Board may, at any time and in its discretion, change the manner in which it conducts risk oversight.</font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;RESOLVED, that the shareholders of Alpine Total Dynamic Dividend Fund (the &#147;<u>Trust</u>&#148;) request that the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the &#147;<u>Board</u>&#148;) take all necessary steps in its power to declassify the Board so that trustees are elected on an annual basis starting at the next annual meeting of shareholders.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We believe the annual election of all trustees encourages board accountability to its shareholders and when trustees are held accountable for their actions, they perform better. This view is shared by most shareholders and institutional investors, who believe it to be the standard for corporate governance best practices. The vast majority of companies in the S&amp;P 500 and Russell 1000 indexes elect all board members annually.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Currently, the Board is divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms. It is our belief that the classification of the Board is strong proof that the Board is not acting in the best interests of shareholders. A classified board protects the incumbents, which in turn limits accountability to shareholders.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We are committed to improving the corporate governance of the Trust for the benefit of all shareholders. Declassification of the Board is a positive step which will allow more productive shareholder engagement and will help the Trust achieve its optimal valuation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Trust invested in the midst of one of the biggest bull markets in history; the NASDAQ 100, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&amp;P 500 have generated total returns of 297%, 149% and 129%, respectively, since the Trust&#146;s IPO.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Unfortunately, during this ten year period, the Trust&#146;s <b>shareholders have received a total return of -13.3% (including all dividends, interest and distributions). </b>This is a tragic loss of value that resulted from mismanagement by the Trust&#146;s investment manager, Alpine Woods Capital Investors, LLC (&#147;Alpine&#148;).</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">All shareholders should be furious as each of the three Alpine closed-end funds has generated a negative return over their life. What is most concerning is that during this period of wealth destruction, <b>Alpine has generated over $300 million in fees and expenses</b>.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Saba Capital has submitted a shareholder proposal to declassify the Board of the Trust, and also nominated an independent nominee for the Board seat of Samuel A. Lieber in an attempt to allow the Board to operate freely and in the best interest of shareholders.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For a greater voice in the Trust&#146;s corporate governance and to increase the accountability of the Board to shareholders, we urge you to vote <b>FOR </b>this proposal.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">After careful and thoughtful consideration, the Board, including the Independent Trustees who constitute a majority of the Fund&#146;s Board, has unanimously determined that this proposal is <i>not</i> in the best interests of the Fund or its shareholders.

<br clear="all" style="page-break-before:always;">
<div style="font-family:Times New Roman;">
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As an initial matter, the criticisms set forth in Saba&#146;s proposal are plainly irrelevant. Saba submitted its proposal in November&nbsp;of 2017, when the Fund was still named the Alpine Total Dynamic Dividend Fund and was managed by Alpine. On May&nbsp;4</font><font size="1" style="font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-3.0pt;">th</font>&#160;of this year, the Fund entered into a new investment advisory contract with AAML, which has since served as the Fund&#146;s investment adviser. The assertions in Saba&#146;s proposal regarding the performance of the Fund when it was managed by Alpine and the fees and expenses Alpine generated during that time bear no relevance to AAML&#146;s management of the Fund over the past four months.&#160; One portfolio manager, Josh Duitz, joined Aberdeen&#146;s Global Equity team (which manages the Fund) from Alpine; however, the remainder of the 11-member team consists of legacy Aberdeen employees. The Global Equity team works in a truly collaborative fashion, with all team members having both portfolio management and research responsibilities. Further, the Global Equity team receives support from a much larger team at Aberdeen than was available to the Fund at Alpine, with the team being supported by 93 additional investment professionals located regionally in offices around the world in London, Edinburgh, Singapore, Sao Paulo, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Philadelphia, Sydney, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, and Jakarta.</p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">To further underscore this point, Saba&#146;s proposal purports to put forth an &#147;independent nominee&#148; for the Board seat of Samuel A. Lieber &#147;in an attempt to allow the Board to operate freely and in the best interest of shareholders.&#148; Samuel A. Lieber, together with all other Trustees in place while Alpine was manager of the Fund, resigned from the Board effective May&nbsp;4, 2018, when the transition to Aberdeen management occurred, and have not been affiliated with the Fund since AAML became the Fund&#146;s investment adviser. The Trustee whose seat Saba&#146;s nominee is actually contesting, John Sievwright, is himself an Independent Trustee. Mr.&nbsp;Sievwright, together with all other current Trustees, was elected to the Board effective May&nbsp;4, 2018, after receiving favorable votes for his election of over 90% of the shares voting. The current Board was elected by shareholders less than five months ago, knowing the Fund had a classified Board structure. Saba&#146;s proposal would undo what shareholders only recently have done.</font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition, while a board in place for an extended period could perhaps be criticized as being entrenched, in this case, the Board members have been Trustees for less than five months. Once again, Saba&#146;s proposal is addressing a fact pattern that does not currently exist.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board is comprised of highly qualified individuals that are committed to the Fund&#146;s long-term ability to achieve its investment objectives, effective monitoring of Fund fees and expenses and active oversight of the premium/discount at which Fund shares trade. The Board believes that the classified board structure continues to provide the Fund and its shareholders with important benefits, including strengthening the independence of the Board and providing stability and continuity of management.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">Staggered Board Enhances Board Independence</font></i>. Electing Trustees to three-year terms enhances the independence of non-management Trustees by providing them with a longer term of office. This longer term provides additional independence from management and from special interest groups, such as the dissident shareholder that made the declassification proposal, which may have an agenda contrary to the long-term interests of all shareholders. As a result, independent Trustees are able to make decisions that are in the best interest of Fund shareholders. The staggered board prevents a complete turnover of the Board, and a corresponding radical change in direction, in any one year.</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">Staggered Board Promotes Stability and Continuity in a Complex Fund</font></i>. The Fund is complicated, using a variety of techniques to achieve its investment objective. The regulations to which the Fund is subject are also complicated. It takes time to master these complexities. The Board is divided into three classes that serve staggered, three-year terms to provide stability, continuity and independence, while also&nbsp;to enhance&nbsp;long-term planning. It also ensures that there are experienced Trustees serving on the Board who are familiar with the Fund, its operations and its investment strategy. A classified Board helps attract and retain Trustees who are willing to make long-term commitments of their time and energy. While a classified board structure provides the Board with some protection against abusive tactics and artificial pressures, more importantly for shareholders, it also provides the Board the time and opportunity to engage activist shareholders in good-faith, arm&#146;s-length discussions and negotiate the best result for the Fund. Absent the classified Board, an activist shareholder (or group of shareholders) could gain control of the Fund by acquiring or obtaining enough shares to replace the entire Board with its own nominees at a single annual meeting. This could result in radical changes to the way the Fund is operated&#151;even changes to the investment strategies that were the reason shareholders invested.</p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

Saba&#146;s assertion that the classified board structure limits a Trustee&#146;s accountability to the Fund&#146;s shareholders is wrong. Trustees elected to three-year terms are just as accountable to shareholders as Trustees elected annually, since all Trustees are required to uphold their fiduciary duties to the Fund and its shareholders regardless of term. The Board has implemented measures to ensure accountability of the Trustees, by providing</p>
