<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Each Board believes that each Director&#146;s experience, qualifications, attributes and skills on an individual basis and
in combination with those of the other Directors lead to the conclusion that the Directors possess the requisite experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to serve on their respective Board. Each Board believes that the Directors&#146;
ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them; to interact effectively with AAMAL, AAM Aus and AAML, as applicable, other service providers, counsel and independent auditors; and to exercise effective
business judgment in the performance of their duties, support this conclusion. Each Board has also considered the contributions that each Director can make to the respective Board on which he serves and the Fund(s). A Director&#146;s ability to
perform his duties effectively may have been attained through the Director&#146;s executive, business, consulting, and/or legal positions; experience from service as a Director of the Fund(s) and other funds/portfolios in the Aberdeen fund complex,
other investment funds, public companies, or non-profit entities or other organizations; educational background or professional training or practice; and/or other life experiences. In this regard, the following specific experience, qualifications,
attributes and/or skills apply as to each Director in addition to the information set forth in the table above: Mr.&nbsp;Gilbert, Chief Executive Officer and director roles within the Aberdeen complex, board experience with other public companies
and investment trusts; Mr.&nbsp;Young, investment management experience in director and executive roles within the Aberdeen complex and director experience with other investment management companies; Mr.&nbsp;Malone, legal background and public
service leadership experience, board experience with other public and private companies, and executive and business consulting experience; Mr.&nbsp;Miles, financial services, investment management and executive experience and board experience with
various Australian public and private companies; Mr.&nbsp;Potter, financial services, investment management and merchant banking experience, executive and consulting experience, and board experience with public companies and non-profit
organizations; Mr.&nbsp;Sacks, accounting background (chartered accountant in Canada and South Africa), treasury experience in banking organizations, investment management and executive experience; Mr.&nbsp;Sell, director and executive experience at
an investment banking and trading firm and board experience with another closed-end fund outside of the Aberdeen complex; and Mr.&nbsp;Sheehy, executive experience at venture capital and investment banking firms, as well as board experience at
several public and private companies. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Each Board believes that the significance of each Director&#146;s
experience, qualifications, attributes or skills is an individual matter (meaning that experience important for one Director may not have the same value for another) and that these factors are best evaluated at the Board level, with no single
Director, or particular factor, being indicative of Board effectiveness. In its periodic self-assessment of the effectiveness of the Board, each Board considers the complementary individual skills and experience of the individual Directors in the
broader context of the Board&#146;s overall composition so that the Board, as a body, possesses the experience, appropriate (and appropriately diverse) skills and experience to oversee the business of the Fund. References to the qualifications,
attributes and skills of Directors are presented pursuant to disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, do not constitute holding out a Board or any Director as having any special expertise or experience, and shall not impose
any greater responsibility or liability on any such person or on a Board by reason thereof. </FONT></P>

The Board of Directors of FCO is composed of five Independent Directors and one Interested Director, Martin J. Gilbert. The Board of Directors of IAF is composed of six Independent Directors and one Interested Director, Hugh Young. Each Fund&#146;s
bylaws provide that the Board shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, each of which will serve for three years, with one class being elected each year. The Boards of FAX and FCO have each appointed
Mr.&nbsp;Malone, an Independent Director, as Chairman. The Board of IAF has appointed Mr.&nbsp;Miles, an Independent Director, as Chairman. The Chairman presides at meetings of the Directors, participates in the preparation of the agenda for
meetings of the Board, and acts as a liaison between the Independent Directors and management between Board meetings. Except for any duties specified herein, the designation of the Chairman does not impose on such Director any duties, obligations or

respective Fund, and from time to time may establish informal ad hoc committees or working groups to review and address the practices of the respective Fund with respect to specific matters. The Committee system facilitates the timely and efficient
consideration of matters by the Directors, and facilitates effective oversight of compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and of each Fund&#146;s activities and associated risks. The standing Committees currently conduct an annual review
of their charters, which includes a review of their responsibilities and operations. Each Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and each Board as a whole also conduct an annual evaluation of the performance of the Board, including
consideration of the effectiveness of the Board&#146;s Committee structure. Each Committee is comprised entirely of Independent Directors. Each Committee member is also &#147;independent&#148; within the meaning of the NYSE MKT listing standards.
Each Board reviews its structure regularly and believes that its leadership structure, including having a super-majority of Independent Directors, coupled with an Independent Director 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>

investment management and business affairs, and also by AAM Aus and AAML, as applicable, and other service providers in connection with the services they provide to the Funds. Each of AAMAL, AAM Aus and AAML, as applicable, and other service

occurrence or effects. Each Board may, at any time and in its discretion, change the manner in which it conducts risk oversight. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Board and

Funds recognize that it would be impractical for most Directors to attend such meetings and would create a significant expense for the Funds. In light of the fact that the residences of most Directors are substantial distances from the location of
the annual meetings of shareholders and that, historically, few shareholders have attended the annual meetings in person, the Funds have not established a policy with respect to Director attendance at annual meetings of shareholders. Messers. Malone
