&ldquo;Corporation&rdquo;) shall be held on a date fixed from time to time by at least a majority of the Board of Directors and
two-thirds of the Continuing Directors (as defined in Section 3 of Article X) each year. An annual meeting may be held at any place
in or out of the State of Maryland as may be determined by the Board of Directors as shall be designated in the notice of the meeting
and at the time specified by the Board of Directors. Any business of the Corporation may be transacted at an annual meeting without
being specifically designated in the notice unless otherwise provided by statute, the Corporation&rsquo;s charter, or these By-Laws.
Failure to hold an annual meeting does not invalidate the Corporation&rsquo;s existence or affect any otherwise valid corporate
acts. A majority of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Continuing Directors, has the sole power to fix the means
of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be considered present in person and may vote at the
meeting</P>

in the interval between annual meetings, a special meeting of stockholders may be called by at least a majority of the Board of
Directors and two-thirds of the Continuing Directors (as defined in Section 3 of Article X), by the Chairman of the Board or by
the President, and shall be called at the request in writing of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes
entitled to be cast at the meeting upon payment by such stockholders to the Corporation of the reasonably estimated cost of preparing
and mailing a notice of a meeting (which estimated cost shall be provided to such stockholders by the Secretary of the Corporation).
A written request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on. The chairman
of the special meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought
before the meeting or is not a proper subject for the meeting; any such business shall not be considered or transacted. A majority
of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Continuing Directors, has the sole power to fix the means of remote communication,
if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be considered present in person and may vote at the meeting</P>

Not less than 10 nor more than 90 days before each meeting of stockholders, the Secretary shall give to each stockholder entitled
to vote at such meeting, and to each stockholder not entitled to vote who is entitled to notice of the meeting, notice in writing
or by electronic transmission stating the time and place of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting or as otherwise may
be required by statute, the purpose for which the meeting is called. Notice may be given to a stockholder by mail, by presenting
it to such stockholder personally, by leaving it at the stockholder&rsquo;s residence or usual place of business, or by any other
means permitted by Maryland law. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the U.S. mail addressed to
the stockholder at the stockholder&rsquo;s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.
If transmitted electronically, such notice shall be deemed to be given when transmitted to the stockholder by an electronic transmission
to any address or number of the stockholder at which the stockholder receives electronic transmissions. The Corporation may give
a single notice to all stockholders who share an address, which single notice shall be effective as to any stockholder at such
address, unless a stockholder objects to receiving such single notice or revokes a prior consent to receiving such single notice.
Failure to give notice of any meeting to one or more stockholders, or any irregularity in such notice, shall not affect the validity
of any meeting fixed in accordance with this Article I or the validity of any proceedings at any such meeting. The notice of any
meeting of stockholders may be accompanied by a form of proxy approved by the Board of Directors in favor of the actions or persons
as the Board of Directors may select. Notwithstanding the forgoing provisions, each person who is entitled to notice waives notice
if he or she attends the meeting in person or by proxy, or before or after the meeting delivers a written waiver or a waiver by
electronic transmission, which is filed with the records of stockholders meetings. Except as otherwise required by law, only the
business stated in the notice of the meeting shall be considered at such meeting; <I>provided that</I>, additional business may
be brought before the meeting by or at the direction of at least a majority of the Directors and two-thirds of the Continuing Directors
(as defined in Section 3 of Article X).</P>

a qualified representative of the stockholder) wishing to submit a proposal does not appear at the annual or special meeting of
the stockholders of the Corporation to present proposed business, such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding
that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes hereof, to be considered a qualified
representative of a stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be
authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder delivered by such stockholder to the Secretary of the Corporation in writing
at least ten business days in advance of the stockholder meeting to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of the stockholders
of the Corporation.&#9;SECTION 5. <U>Required Compliance with Exchange Act</U>. A stockholder shall also comply with all applicable
requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Article
I; provided however, that any references in these By-Laws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended
to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to proposals as to any business to be considered pursuant to this Article I,
and compliance with these By-Laws shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to submit business (other than matters brought
properly under and in compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act (or any successor provision of law)).</P>

as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Maryland, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (&ldquo;1940 Act&rdquo;)
or other applicable statute, or by the Corporation&rsquo;s charter, these By-Laws, or a resolution of the Directors specifying
a greater or lesser vote requirement for the transaction of any item of business that properly comes before a meeting of stockholders,

At all times, the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of votes entitled to be cast thereon shall be required to
approve the election of a director. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of a stockholders meeting, without notice other than
by announcement at the meeting, may adjourn the meeting from time to time as provided in Section 7 of this Article I until a quorum
shall attend. The stockholders present at any duly organized meeting may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding
the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. The absence from any meeting in person or by proxy of holders
of the number of shares of stock of the Corporation in excess of the number that may be required by the laws of the State of Maryland,
the 1940 Act or other applicable statute, the Corporation&rsquo;s charter, or by these By-Laws for action upon any given matter

are present, in person or by proxy, holders of the number of shares of stock of the Corporation required for action upon the other
matter or matters.</P>

of stockholders may vote the stock he or she owns of record in person, by written proxy, or by electronic or telecommunications

The placing of a stockholder&rsquo;s name on a proxy pursuant to telephonic or electronically transmitted instructions obtained
pursuant to procedures reasonably designed to verify that such instructions have been authorized by such stockholder shall constitute
execution or signature of such proxy by or on behalf of such stockholder. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months

executing it, except in those cases in which the proxy states that it is irrevocable and in which an irrevocable proxy is permitted

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Liberty All-Star<SUP>&reg;</SUP>
Growth Fund, Inc.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
of Liberty All-Star<SUP>&reg;</SUP> Growth Fund, Inc. (the &ldquo;Fund&rdquo;), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020,
in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), we considered the Fund&rsquo;s
internal control over financial reporting, including controls over safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-CEN,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund&rsquo;s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are
required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A fund&rsquo;s internal control over financial reporting
is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A fund&rsquo;s internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the fund; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the fund are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management
and directors of the fund; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition,
use, or disposition of a fund&rsquo;s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject
to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists
when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies,
in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the fund&rsquo;s
annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Our consideration of the Fund&rsquo;s internal control over financial
reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal
control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the PCAOB. However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund&rsquo;s
internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to
be a material weakness, as defined above, as of December 31, 2020.</P>
