(&#147;GCH&#148;), each a closed-end investment company, are also being asked to approve the reorganization of each such fund into the Acquiring Fund. The Acquiring Fund is an emerging markets equity income fund that seeks to provide both current income and long-term capital appreciation and is advised by Aberdeen Asset Managers Limited (&#147;AAML&#148; or the &#147;Investment Adviser&#148;).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Asia Tigers Fund,&nbsp;Inc. was initially launched at a time when options for investors to obtain investment exposure to the types of securities in which GRR invests were limited. The markets in which GRR invests have evolved over time and there now are multiple ways in which investors can obtain that exposure. In addition, GRR&#146;s shares have tended to trade in recent years at prices that are below their net asset value (&#147;NAV&#148;) per share, which is the differential between market price and NAV per share being hereinafter called the &#147;discount&#148;. GRR has taken certain actions to address the discount, including conducting periodic tender offers, adopting for a period of time an interval structure and implementing share buyback programs. These actions have not eliminated GRR&#146;s discount nor have they reduced</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">substantially the discount for significant periods of time. In addition, the actions taken to address GRR&#146;s discount have resulted in a reduction of GRR&#146;s assets and reduced the Board&#146;s flexibility to consider additional efforts to address GRR&#146;s discount that might further reduce GRR&#146;s assets. GRR&#146;s high expense ratio operates to adversely affect its investment returns. Further, institutional investors have accumulated significant holdings in GRR. Given the size of these holdings, GRR is vulnerable to shareholder proposals that could be costly, distracting to management and potentially detrimental to other investors. The other Target Funds have faced similar issues. In light of the changes in the markets and the potential for activism, an affiliate of the investment adviser of each Fund undertook an analysis of available alternatives, ultimately recommending a consolidation of all of the Funds into a single Aberdeen advised closed-end fund, which would be restructured to have an emerging markets equity income strategy, followed by a post-consolidation tender offer to provide liquidity at a price close to net asset value (&#147;NAV&#148;) to shareholders and increase the likelihood of shareholder support for the consolidation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Combined Fund&#146;s Total Expense Ratio will depend on the combination of the Funds in the proposed Reorganizations and the resulting size of the Combined Fund, and furthermore, there can be no assurance that future expenses will not increase or that any expense savings for any Fund will be realized.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">It is estimated that the completion of all of the Reorganizations would result in a Net Total Expense Ratio for the Combined Fund of 1.38% pre-tender offer and 1.46% post-tender offer (assuming a maximum reduction in the Combined Fund&#146;s net assets of 50% as a result of the capital gain distributions and tender offer) on a historical and <i>pro forma </i>basis for the 12-month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2017.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">An unfavorable vote on a proposed Reorganization by the shareholders of one or more Target Funds will not affect the implementation of the Reorganizations of the other Target Funds if the other Reorganizations are approved by the shareholders of the other Target Funds.</font></p>

Although it is anticipated that the Reorganizations would all be consummated on the same date, one or more Reorganizations could be delayed and occur at a later date.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Combined Fund will conduct a tender offer for shares of the Combined Fund at 99% of NAV in an amount that, together with capital gains then-accrued by the Combined Fund and to be distributed in 2018, will aggregate up to a maximum distribution of 50%, and not less than 40%, of the net assets of the Combined Fund. Barring exceptional or unforeseen circumstances, the Combined Fund anticipates announcing the amount of the tender offer and an estimate of a special capital gains distribution within approximately 10 business days after the closing of the consolidation, both of which are expected to be completed and paid within approximately 60 days following the closing of the consolidation. These gains may still be offset by any capital losses realized during the Combined Fund&#146;s fiscal year ending December&nbsp;31, 2018.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Combined Fund will follow a multi-cap emerging markets equity income investment strategy that utilizes leverage. The Combined Fund will seek to provide both current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in emerging market equity securities. Additionally, it is anticipated that the Combined Fund will begin using leverage for investment purposes through borrowing from a bank in an amount currently estimated to be approximately 10% of total assets. The countries that the Combined Fund&#146;s portfolio management team currently estimates will have approximately 10% or more representation in the Combined Fund&#146;s portfolio are Brazil, China and India. The countries that the Combined Fund&#146;s portfolio management team currently estimates will have approximately 5% or more representation in the Combined Fund&#146;s portfolio are Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa, Taiwan and Thailand. The sectors that the Combined Fund&#146;s portfolio management team currently estimates will have approximately 10% or more representation in the Combined Fund&#146;s portfolio are Consumer Staples, Financials,&nbsp;Information Technology and Telecom Services. The sectors that the Combined Fund&#146;s portfolio management team currently estimates will have approximately 5% or more representation in the Combined Fund&#146;s portfolio are Materials,&nbsp;Industrials, Consumer Discretionary and Real Estate. The Combined Fund&#146;s portfolio management team&#146;s estimates with respect to the percentages of leverage, country allocation and sector allocation are based on current market conditions and could significantly vary under different circumstances.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Although the Combined Fund will be permitted to utilize leverage for investment purposes upon the closing of the Reorganizations, it is not anticipated that the Combined Fund would implement leverage until after the proposed tender offer is completed.

You will receive newly issued common shares of the Acquiring Fund, par value $0.001 per share, the aggregate NAV (not the market value) of which will equal the aggregate NAV (not the market value) of the common shares of GRR that you held immediately prior to the GRR Reorganization (although you may receive cash for fractional shares). The NAV of GRR and the Acquiring Fund will reflect the applicable costs of the GRR Reorganization, except to the extent that GRR&#146;s costs exceed its expense limitation.

To the extent that GRR is trading at a narrower discount (or wider premium) than the Acquiring Fund at the time of the GRR Reorganization, GRR shareholders may be negatively impacted if the GRR Reorganization is consummated.

As of September&nbsp;15, 2017, AAMAL expects to bear such expenses for GRR because its current expenses already exceed its contractual expense limitation.

<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;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Generally, all U.S. shareholders (other than tax-exempt shareholders) of the Combined Fund who sell shares in the tender offer are expected to recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the cash they receive for the shares sold and their adjusted cost basis in the shares, except that in certain circumstances a tendering shareholder who does not have a complete termination of his or her interest in the Combined Fund may be treated as having received a distribution from the Combined Fund (rather than having recognized gain or loss from a sale). The sale date for tax purposes will be the date the Combined Fund accepts shares for purchase. Participating shareholders should consult their tax adviser regarding specific tax consequences, including potential state, local and foreign tax consequences. Shareholders of the Combined Fund who choose not to tender will retain their investment in the Combined Fund and therefore generally will not trigger a taxable event at that time. The Combined Fund will be required to sell portfolio securities in order to raise cash to pay the tender offer proceeds, which will also result in portfolio transaction costs and possibly generate capital gains. The Combined Fund currently expects to use tax equalization accounting adjustments to reduce the impact of the net capital gains required to be distributed for ongoing shareholders.</font></p>
