name change, the Board considered, among other factors, that as the only U.S. closed-end fund currently offering the emerging market ex-China strategy, the Fund will be less driven by the policy actions of the
Government of China, and more driven by stock fundamentals, which aligns with Management&#x2019;s style of bottom-up investing. The Fund will remain a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company whose
objective is to provide both current income and long-term appreciation. Subsequent to the reporting period, and in connection with these changes, the Fund transitioned its portfolio consistent with its change to an
emerging market ex-China strategy, which would include the sale of China securities held by the Fund. Any realized capital gains generated from these sales would be offet by the Fund's capital loss carryforward listed
in Notes to Financial Note 11.</div>

as part of the strategic changes, the Board approved an increase to its annualized distribution rate from 6.5% to 10%, commencing with the quarterly distribution to be paid March 2025. The actual amount of the
distribution will continue to be based on the average daily net asset value (&#x201c;NAV&#x201d;) for the previous three months as of the month-end prior to declaration. The Fund intends to maintain the increased
distribution rate for at least the 12 months following the effective increase, unless there is a significant and unforeseen change in market conditions. This policy will be subject to regular review by the Board. The
policy is expected to provide a steady and sustainable quarterly cash distribution to Fund</div>

prospects. China saw a late-year surge thanks to a slew of government stimulus measures in September 2024, signaling a shift towards a pro-growth stance. Meanwhile, in September 2024, the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered

contributor to relative returns, benefiting from a tech rally tied to robust artificial intelligence (AI)-driven demand, particularly in the first half of the year 2024. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. was a
standout performer. The chipmaker executed consistently well, reporting stronger-than-expected results. Electronic test equipment maker Chroma ATE was buoyed by increased demand for system level testers due to the
rising complexity of semiconductor chips. Logic circuit switch maker Accton Technology gained from exposure to data center switches and AI accelerators.</div>

market sentiment in China and Hong Kong, particularly in the first half of 2024, detracted from performance. Despite strong fundamentals, the Fund&#x2019;s consumer-related stocks trailed up until mid-September, as the
market favored value trades. This changed after China announced its wide-ranging stimulus policies in September 2024. The market rebounded sharply initially but gains faded due to a lack of measures targeting direct
consumption. President Trump&#x2019;s win and the anticipated impact on China further affected investor risk appetite in the area.</div>

ended the year positively, value names outpaced quality and growth. Fund stock selection was overall negative. Pan-Asian insurer AIA fell on weak market sentiment and foreign outflows, despite delivering positive
earning results. The Fund&#x2019;s underweight to food delivery platform Meituan, which was introduced to the portfolio during the year, also proved costly as the stock rallied following China&#x2019;s stimulus

petrochemical pipeline project. Losses in South Korea were partly mitigated by HD Korea Shipbuilding &amp;</div>

company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment
Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America ("U.S.&#xa0;GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accounting records of
the Fund are maintained in U.S. Dollars and the U.S. Dollar is used as both the functional and reporting currency.</div>

securities at fair value, consistent with regulatory requirements. "Fair value" is defined in the Fund's Valuation and Liquidity Procedures as the price that could be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants without a compulsion to transact at the measurement date, also referred to&#xa0;as market value. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the
Board of Directors (the "Board") designated abrdn Investments Limited (the "Adviser") as the valuation designee ("Valuation Designee") for the Fund to perform the fair value determinations relating to Fund investments
for which market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable.</div>

authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under U.S. GAAP, the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments using a three-level hierarchy that classifies the inputs to valuation techniques

valuations based upon other significant observable inputs, including adjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets, and Level 3, the lowest level, measurements to valuations based upon unobservable

broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure
fair value including a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting
entity&#x2019;s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. A financial
instrument&#x2019;s level within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.</div>

valuation policies and procedures established by the Board. The Fund&#x2019;s estimate of fair value assumes a willing buyer and a willing seller neither of whom are acting under the compulsion to buy or sell. Although
these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized on such sales could differ from the prices originally paid by the Fund or the current carrying values, and the difference could
be material. These securities are stated at fair value by utilizing the net asset valuations provided by the underlying funds as a practical expedient. In determining the fair value of these investments, management
uses the market approach which includes as the primary input the capital balance reported; however, adjustments to the reported capital balance may be made based on various factors, including, but not limited to, the
attributes of the interest held, including the rights and obligations, and any restrictions or illiquidity of such interests, and the fair value of these private equity investments. No such adjustments were made to

monthly basis. The Fund uses leverage for investment purposes. In the event of a general market decrease in the value of assets in which the Fund invests, the effect of that decline will be magnified in the Fund

capital structure creates special risks not associated with unleveraged funds having similar investment objectives and policies. The funds borrowed pursuant to the loan facility may constitute a substantial lien and
burden by reason of their prior claim against the income of the Fund and against the net assets of the Fund in liquidation. The Fund is not permitted to declare dividends or other distributions in the event of default
under the loan facility. In the event of a default under the loan facility, the lenders have the right to cause a liquidation of the collateral (i.e., sell portfolio securities and other assets of the Fund) and, if
any such default is not cured, the lenders may be able to control the liquidation as well. A liquidation of the Fund&#x2019;s collateral assets in an event of default, or a voluntary paydown of the loan facility in

liquidations often involve selling off of portions of the Fund&#x2019;s assets at inopportune times which can result in losses when markets are unfavorable. The loan facility has a one year term and is not a perpetual
form of leverage; there can be no assurance that the loan facility will be available for renewal on acceptable terms, if at all. Bank loan fees and expenses included in the Statement of Operations include fees for the
loan facility as well as commitment fees for any portion of the loan facility not drawn upon at any time during the period. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund incurred fees of approximately

governing the loan facility includes usual and customary covenants for this type of transaction. These covenants impose on the Fund asset coverage requirements, Fund composition requirements and limits on certain
investments, such as illiquid investments, which are more stringent than those imposed on the Fund by the 1940 Act. The covenants or guidelines could impede the Investment Adviser from fully managing the Fund&#x2019;s
portfolio in accordance with the Fund&#x2019;s investment objective and policies. Furthermore, non-compliance with such covenants or the occurrence of other events could lead to the cancellation of the loan

and special considerations not typically associated with investing in other more established economies or securities markets. Exposure to China may be gained through investments in securities that are economically
tied to China or, in some cases, through direct investment in China securities. The Fund invests in China A shares. China A shares are shares in mainland China-based companies that trade on Chinese stock exchanges and
are usually only available to foreign investors through a quota license or by purchasing Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchange-listed securities via brokers in Hong Kong through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and
Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect programs (collectively, "Stock Connect&#x201d;). Investing in China A shares may involve special risk considerations such as volatility in the China A share market and uncertainty

exposure to companies based or operated in China by investing through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs). Instead of directly owning the equity securities of a Chinese company, a VIE enters

financial statements. The government of&#xa0;China could intervene with respect to VIEs, which could significantly affect the Chinese company's performance and the enforceability of the VIE's contractual arrangement

If the Fund does not qualify for or chooses not to make such an election, shareholders will not be entitled separately to claim a credit or deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to foreign taxes

are expected to be illiquid and may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses. Because of the current absence of any liquid trading market for these investments, the
private equity funds may take longer to liquidate than would be the case for publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized on such sales

the capability of management, and (5) the most material Environmental, Social and Governance (&#x201c;ESG&#x201d;) factors impacting a company. Examples of ESG factors considered by the Investment Adviser include, but
are not limited to, carbon emissions, climate risks, labor management, employee safety and corporate governance. The specific factors considered may vary depending on the type of company being evaluated. As ESG
information is just one investment consideration, ESG considerations generally are not solely determinative in any investment decision made by the Investment Adviser.</div>

portfolio securities with an aggregate market value of up to one-third of the Fund&#x2019;s total assets when it deems advisable. Any such loans must be secured by collateral (consisting of any combination of cash,
U.S. government securities, irrevocable bank letters of credit or other high quality debt securities) in an amount at least equal, on a daily marked-to-market basis, to the current market value of the securities
loaned. If the Fund enters into a securities lending arrangement, it is expected that cash collateral will be invested by the lending agent in short-term instruments, money market mutual funds or other collective
investment funds, and income from these investments will be allocated among the Fund, the borrower and the lending agent. The Fund may terminate a loan after such notice period as is provided for the particular loan.
The Fund would receive from the borrower amounts equivalent to any cash payments of interest, dividends and other distributions with respect to the loaned securities, although the tax treatment of such payments may
differ from the treatment of distributions paid directly by the issuer to the Fund. The Fund would also have the option to require non-cash distributions on the loaned securities to be credited to its

market value of common stock can fluctuate significantly, reflecting the business performance of the issuing company, investor perception and general economic or financial market movements. Smaller companies are
especially sensitive to these factors and may even become valueless. Despite the risk of price volatility, however, common stocks also offer a greater potential for gain on investment, compared to other classes of
financial assets such as bonds or cash equivalents. The Fund may also receive common stock as proceeds from a defaulted debt security held by the Fund or from a convertible bond converting to common stock. In such

generally debt securities or preferred stocks that may be converted into common stock. Convertible securities typically pay current income as either interest (debt security convertibles) or dividends (preferred
stocks). A convertible security&#x2019;s value usually reflects both the stream of current income payments and the value of the underlying common stock. The market value of a convertible security performs like that of
a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. Since it is convertible into common stock, the convertible security also has the same types of market
and issuer risk as the underlying common stock. A convertible debt security is not counted as an equity security for purposes of the Fund&#x2019;s 80% policy.</div>

are subject to restrictions on resale as a matter of contract or under federal securities laws. Because there may be relatively few potential purchasers for such securities, especially under adverse market or economic
conditions or in the event of adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuer, the Fund could find it more difficult to sell such securities when it may be advisable to do so or it may be able to sell such
securities only at prices lower than if such securities were more widely held. At times, it also may be more difficult to determine the fair value of such securities for purposes of computing the Fund&#x2019;s net
asset value due to the absence of a trading market.</div>

primarily for investment purposes through senior securities representing indebtedness from a bank, although it may engage in other transactions, such as reverse repurchase agreements and issuance of debt securities or
preferred securities, which have the effect of leverage. The 1940 Act generally prohibits the Fund from engaging in most forms of leverage representing indebtedness other than preferred shares unless immediately after
such incurrence the Fund&#x2019;s total assets less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities (for these purposes, &#x201c;total net assets&#x201d;) is at least 300% of the aggregate senior
securities representing indebtedness (i.e., the use of leverage through senior securities representing indebtedness may not exceed 33 1/3% of the Fund&#x2019;s total net assets (including the proceeds from leverage)).
Additionally, under the 1940 Act, the Fund generally may not declare any dividend or other distribution upon any class of its capital shares, or purchase any such capital shares, unless at the time of such declaration
or purchase, this asset coverage test is satisfied. The portfolio management team anticipates using leverage of 5% to 15% of the Fund&#x2019;s total assets and does not currently expect such leverage to actively exceed
20% of total assets. With respect to asset coverage for preferred shares, under the 1940 Act, the Fund is not permitted to issue preferred shares unless immediately after such issuance the value of the Fund&#x2019;s
total net assets (as defined above) is at least 200% of the liquidation value of the outstanding preferred shares and the newly issued preferred shares plus the aggregate amount of any senior securities of the Fund
representing indebtedness (i.e., such liquidation value plus the aggregate amount of senior securities representing indebtedness may not exceed 50% of the Fund&#x2019;s total net assets). In addition, the Fund is not
permitted to declare any cash dividend or other distribution on its Common Shares unless, at the time of such declaration, the value of the Fund&#x2019;s total net assets (determined after deducting the amount of such
dividend or other distribution) satisfies the above-referenced 200% coverage requirement. Although the Fund has the ability to issue debt securities and preferred stock, it does not currently anticipate issuing any
debt securities or preferred stock, which would be subject to approval by the Fund&#x2019;s Board. The Fund&#x2019;s use of leverage does not impact the fees paid to the Investment Adviser for investment advisory and
management services because the Investment Adviser is paid on net assets not total assets.</div>

negatively affected. In addition, any spread of an infectious illness, public health threat or similar issue could reduce consumer demand or economic output, result in market closures, travel restrictions or
quarantines, and generally have a significant impact on the world economy, which in turn could adversely affect the Fund's investments. The impact of the recent U.S. elections on such policies remains uncertain and

management of &#x201c;other accounts&#x201d; may give rise to potential conflicts of interest in connection with their management of the Fund's investments, on the one hand, and the investments of the other accounts, on
the other. The other accounts may have the same investment objective as the Fund. Therefore, a potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of the identical investment objectives, whereby the portfolio manager
could favor one account over another. However, the Investment Adviser believes that these risks are mitigated by the fact that: (i) accounts with like investment strategies managed by a particular portfolio manager
are generally managed in a similar fashion, subject to exceptions to account for particular investment restrictions or policies applicable only to certain accounts, differences in cash flows and account sizes, and
similar factors; and (ii) portfolio manager personal trading is monitored to avoid potential conflicts. In addition, the Investment Adviser has adopted trade allocation procedures that require equitable allocation of
trade orders for a particular security among participating accounts.</div>

could include instances in which securities considered as investments for the Fund also may be appropriate for other investment accounts managed by the Adviser or its affiliates. Whenever decisions are made to buy or
sell securities by the Fund and one or more of the other accounts simultaneously, the Investment Adviser may aggregate the purchases and sales of the securities and will allocate the securities transactions in a
manner that it believes to be equitable under the circumstances. As a result of the allocations,</div>

not participate in a transaction that is allocated among other accounts. While these aggregation and allocation policies could have a detrimental effect on the price or amount of the securities available to the Fund
from time to time, it is the opinion of the Investment Adviser that the benefits from the policies outweigh any disadvantage that may arise from exposure to simultaneous transactions. The Trust has adopted policies
that are designed to eliminate or minimize conflicts of interest, although there is no guarantee that procedures adopted under such policies will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises. From time
to time, the Investment Adviser may seed proprietary accounts for the purpose of evaluating a new investment strategy that eventually may be available to clients through one or more product structures. Such accounts
also may serve the purpose of establishing a performance record for the strategy. The management by the Investment Adviser of accounts with proprietary interests and nonproprietary client accounts may create an
incentive to favor the proprietary accounts in the allocation of investment opportunities, and the timing and aggregation of investments. The Investment Adviser's proprietary seed accounts may include long-short
strategies, and certain client strategies may permit short sales. A conflict of interest arises if a security is sold short at the same time as a long position, and continuous short selling in a security may adversely
affect the stock price of the same security held long in client accounts. The Investment Adviser have adopted various policies to mitigate these conflicts.</div>
<div style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:9.5pt; font-style:Normal; font-weight:Normal; line-height:12.5pt; margin-top:6pt; text-align:justify; text-decoration:none; text-transform:none">In addition, the 1940 Act
limits the Fund's ability to enter into certain transactions with certain affiliates of the Investment Adviser. As a result of these restrictions, the Fund may be prohibited from buying or selling any security
directly from or to any portfolio company of a fund managed by the Investment Adviser or one of their affiliates. Nonetheless, the Fund may under certain circumstances purchase any such portfolio company's loans or
securities in the secondary market, which could create a conflict for the Investment Adviser between the interests of the Fund and the portfolio company, in that the ability of the Investment Adviser to recommend
actions in the best interest of the Fund might be impaired. The 1940 Act also prohibits certain &#x201c;joint&#x201d; transactions with certain of the Fund's affiliates (which could include other abrdn-managed Funds),
which could be deemed to include certain types of investments, or restructuring of investments, in the same portfolio company (whether at the same or different times). These limitations may limit the scope of
investment opportunities that would otherwise be available to the Fund. The Board has approved policies and procedures reasonably designed to monitor potential conflicts of interest. The Board will review these
procedures and any conflicts that may arise. The Investment Adviser or their respective members, officers, directors, employees, principals or affiliates may come into possession of material, non-public information.

securities involves certain special considerations that are not typically associated with investments in the securities of U.S. issuers. Foreign issuers are not generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing and

Securities of some foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable domestic issuers. There is generally less government supervision and regulation of securities markets, brokers and
issuers than in the United States. In addition, with respect to certain foreign countries, there is a possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation, political and social instability, or diplomatic
developments, which could affect the value of investments in those countries. These risks are heightened under adverse economic, market, geopolitical and other conditions. The costs of investing in foreign countries
frequently are higher than the costs of investing in the United States. Although the investment adviser endeavors to achieve the most favorable execution costs in portfolio transactions, trading costs in non-U.S.
securities markets are generally higher than trading costs in the United States.</div>

actions could have a significant effect on economic conditions in a developing or emerging market country and on market conditions, prices and yields of securities in the Fund&#x2019;s portfolio. Moreover, the
economies of developing and emerging market countries generally are heavily dependent upon international trade and, accordingly, have been and may continue to be adversely affected by trade barriers, exchange
controls, managed adjustments in relative currency values and other protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they trade. These economies also have been and may continue to be adversely
affected by economic conditions in the countries with which they trade. Many developing and emerging market economies are considered to be more politically volatile than the developed markets. Investments in
securities of issuers in countries other than the U.S. may involve greater political risk, including in some countries, the possibility of nationalization of assets, expropriation or confiscatory taxation,

foreign exchange reserves. Governments have responded by restricting currency conversions. Future restrictive exchange controls could prevent or restrict a company&#x2019;s ability to make dividend or interest payments

are subject to restrictions on resale as a matter of contract or under federal securities laws. Because there may be relatively few potential purchasers for such securities, especially under adverse market or economic

securities only at prices lower than if such securities were more widely held. At times, it also may be more difficult to determine the fair value of such securities for purposes of computing the Fund&#x2019;s net

types of market and issuer risks that may negatively affect the pricing of the underlying common stock. As the market price of the underlying common stock declines, the convertible security tends to trade increasingly
on a yield basis and thus may not decline in price to the same extent as the underlying common stock. Convertible securities rank senior to common stock in an issuer&#x2019;s capital structure and consequently entail
less risk than the issuer&#x2019;s common stock. A convertible debt security is not counted as an equity security for purposes of the Fund&#x2019;s 80% policy.</div>

depositary receipts are not obligated to disclose information that is, in the United States, considered material. Therefore, there may be less information available regarding these issuers and there may not be a
correlation between such information and the market value of the depositary receipts. Certain depositary receipts are not listed on an exchange and therefore may be considered to be illiquid securities. In addition,
the issuers of depositary receipts may discontinue issuing new depositary receipts and withdraw existing depositary receipts at any time, which may result in costs and delays in the distribution of the underlying
assets to the Fund and may negatively impact the Fund&#x2019;s performance. Although ADRs are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their national markets and currencies, they are

Leverage involves certain additional risks, including that the cost of leverage may exceed the return earned by the Fund on the proceeds of such leverage. In the event of a general market decline in the value of
assets in which the Fund invests, the effect of that decline will be magnified in the Fund because of the additional assets purchased with the proceeds of the leverage. In addition, funds borrowed pursuant a credit
facility may constitute a substantial lien and burden by reason of their prior claim against the income of the Fund and against the net assets of the Fund in liquidation. In the event of an event of default under a
loan facility, lenders may have the right to cause a liquidation of the collateral (i.e., sell portfolio securities and other assets of the Fund) and, if any such default is not cured, the lenders may be able to
control the liquidation as well. A leverage facility agreement may include covenants that impose on the Fund asset coverage requirements, Fund composition requirements and limits on certain investments, such as
illiquid investments or derivatives, which are more stringent than those imposed on the Fund by the 1940 Act. The covenants or guidelines could impede the Fund&#x2019;s Investment Adviser from fully managing the
Fund&#x2019;s portfolio in accordance with the Fund&#x2019;s investment objective and policies; however, because the Fund&#x2019;s use of leverage is expected to be relatively modest and the Fund generally is not
expected to engage in derivatives transactions, the Fund&#x2019;s Investment Adviser currently does not believe that such restrictions would significantly impact its management of the Fund.</div>

shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and to distribute any net realized capital gains at least annually. Net investment income for this purpose is income other than net realized long-term and
short-term capital gains net of expenses. Pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment and Optional Cash Purchase Plan (the &#x201c;Plan&#x201d;), shareholders whose shares of common stock are registered in their own names
will be deemed to have elected to have all distributions automatically reinvested by Computershare Trust Company N.A. (the &#x201c;Plan Agent&#x201d;) in the Fund shares pursuant to the Plan, unless such shareholders
elect to receive distributions in cash. Shareholders who elect to receive distributions in cash will receive such distributions paid by check in U.S. Dollars mailed directly to the shareholder by the Plan Agent, as
dividend paying agent. In the case of shareholders such as banks, brokers or nominees that hold shares for others who are beneficial owners, the Plan Agent will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of shares
certified from time to time by the shareholders as representing the total amount registered in such shareholders&#x2019; names and held for the account of beneficial owners that have not elected to receive
distributions in cash. Investors that own shares registered in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee should consult with such nominee as to participation in the Plan through such nominee and may be required to
have their shares registered in their own names in order to participate in the Plan. Please note that the Fund does not issue certificates so all shares will be registered in book entry form. The Plan Agent serves as
agent for the shareholders in administering the Plan. If the Directors of the Fund declare an income dividend or a capital gains distribution payable either in the Fund&#x2019;s common stock or in cash, nonparticipants
in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive common stock, to be issued by the Fund or purchased by the Plan Agent in the open market, as provided below. If the market price per share (plus
expected per share fees) on the valuation date equals or exceeds NAV per share on that date, the Fund will issue new shares to participants at NAV; provided, however, that if the NAV is less than 95% of the market
price on the valuation date, then such shares will be issued at 95% of the market price. The valuation date will be the payable date for such distribution or dividend or, if that date is not a trading day on the NYSE
American, the immediately preceding trading date. If NAV exceeds the market price of Fund shares at such time, or if the Fund should declare an income dividend or capital gains distribution payable only in cash, the
Plan Agent will, as agent for the participants, buy Fund shares in the open market, on the NYSE American or elsewhere, for the participants&#x2019; accounts on, or shortly after, the payment date. If, before the Plan
Agent has completed its purchases, the market price exceeds the NAV of the Fund's share, the average per share purchase price paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the NAV of the Fund&#x2019;s shares, resulting in the
acquisition of fewer shares than if the distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund on the dividend payment date. Because of</div>

open-market purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full dividend amount in open-market purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium

of making additional cash payments of a minimum of $50 per investment (by check, one-time online bank debit or recurring automatic monthly ACH debit) to the Plan Agent for investment in the Fund&#x2019;s common stock,
with an annual maximum contribution of $250,000. The Plan Agent will wait up to three business days after receipt of a check or electronic funds transfer to ensure it receives good funds. Following confirmation of
receipt of good funds, the Plan Agent will use all such funds received from participants to purchase Fund shares in the open market on the 25th day of each month or the next trading day if the 25th is not a trading
day.</div>

recurring automatic monthly ACH debits, funds will be withdrawn from his or her U.S. bank account on the 20th of each month or the next business day if the 20th is not a banking business day and invested on the next
investment date. The Plan Agent maintains all shareholder accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmations of all transactions in an account, including information needed by shareholders for personal and tax
records. Shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Agent in the name of the participant, and each shareholder&#x2019;s proxy will include those shares purchased pursuant to the Plan. There
will be no brokerage charges with respect to common shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a per share fee of $0.02 incurred with respect to the Plan Agent&#x2019;s open market purchases
in connection with the reinvestment of dividends, capital gains distributions and voluntary cash payments made by the participant. Per share fees include any applicable brokerage commissions the Plan Agent is required
to pay.</div>

option of selling their shares through the Plan. The Plan supports two types of sales orders. Batch order sales are submitted on each market day and will be grouped with other sale requests to be sold. The price will
be the average sale price obtained by Computershare&#x2019;s broker, net of fees, for each batch order and will be sold generally within 2 business days of the request during regular open market hours. Please note that
all written sales requests are always processed by Batch Order. ($10 and $0.12 per share). Market Order sales will sell at the next available trade. The shares are sold real time when they hit the market, however an

PCAOB Rule 3526 requires that, at least annually, the auditor: (1) disclose to the Committee in writing all relationships between the auditor and its related entities and the Registrant and its related entities that in the auditor&#x2019;s professional judgment may reasonably be thought to bear on independence; (2) confirm in the letter that, in its professional judgment, it is independent of the Registrant within the meaning of the Securities Acts administered by the SEC; and (3) discuss the auditor&#x2019;s independence with the audit committee. The Committee is responsible for actively engaging in a dialogue with the independent auditor with respect to any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the independent auditor and for taking, or recommending that the full Board take, appropriate action to oversee the independence of the independent auditor.

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 21.7pt; text-align: justify">&#xa0;</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Adviser and its affiliates (collectively
referred to herein as &#x201c;abrdn&#x201d;) serve as investment advisers for multiple clients, including the Registrant and other
investment companies registered under the 1940 Act and private funds (such clients are also referred to below as
 &#x201c;accounts&#x201d;). The portfolio managers&#x2019; management of &#x201c;other accounts&#x201d; may give rise to potential
conflicts of interest in connection with their management of the Registrant&#x2019;s investments, on the one hand, and the
investments of the other accounts, on the other. The other accounts may have the same investment objective as the Registrant.
Therefore, a potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of the identical investment objectives, whereby the portfolio
manager could favor one account over another. However, the Adviser believes that these risks are mitigated by the fact that: (i)
accounts with like investment strategies managed by a particular portfolio manager are generally managed in a similar fashion,
subject to exceptions to account for particular investment restrictions or policies applicable only to certain accounts, differences
in cash flows and account sizes, and similar factors; and (ii) portfolio manager personal trading is monitored to avoid potential
conflicts. In addition, the Adviser has adopted trade allocation procedures that require equitable allocation of trade orders for a
particular security among participating accounts.</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&#xa0;</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In some cases, another account managed by the
same portfolio manager may compensate abrdn based on the performance-based fees with qualified clients. The existence of such a performance-based
fee may create additional conflicts of interest for the portfolio manager in the allocation of management time, resources and investment
opportunities.</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&#xa0;</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Another potential conflict could include instances
in which securities considered as investments for the Registrant also may be appropriate for other investment accounts managed by the
Adviser or its affiliates. Whenever decisions are made to buy or sell securities for the Registrant and one or more of the other accounts
simultaneously, the Adviser may aggregate the purchases and sales of the securities and will allocate the securities transactions in a
manner that it believes to be equitable under the circumstances. As a result of the allocations, there may be instances where the Registrant
will not participate in a transaction that is allocated among other accounts. While these aggregation and allocation policies could have
a detrimental effect on the price or amount of the securities available to the Registrant from time to time, it is the opinion of the
Adviser that the benefits from the policies outweigh any disadvantage that may arise from exposure to simultaneous transactions. The Registrant
has adopted policies that are designed to eliminate or minimize conflicts of interest, although there is no guarantee that procedures
adopted under such policies will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">With respect to non-discretionary model delivery
accounts (including UMA accounts) and discretionary SMA accounts, abrdn Inc. will utilize a third party service provider to deliver model
portfolio recommendations and model changes to the Sponsors. abrdn Inc. seeks to treat clients fairly and equitably over time, by delivering
model changes to our service provider and investment instructions for our other discretionary accounts to our trading desk, simultaneously
or approximately at the same time. The service provider will then deliver the model changes to each Sponsor on a when-traded, randomized
full rotation schedule. All Sponsors will be included in the rotation schedule, including SMA and UMA.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">UMA Sponsors will be responsible for determining
how and whether to implement the model portfolio or model changes and implementation of any client specific investment restrictions. The
Sponsors are solely responsible for determining the suitability of the model portfolio for each model delivery client, executing trades
and seeking best execution for such clients.</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#xa0;</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">As it relates to SMA accounts, abrdn Inc. will
be responsible for managing the account on the basis of each client&#x2019;s financial situation and objectives, the day to day investment
decisions, best execution, accepting or rejecting client specific investment restrictions and performance. The SMA Sponsors will collect
suitability information and will provide a summary questionnaire for our review and approval or rejection. For dual contract SMAs, abrdn
Inc. will collect a suitability assessment from the client, along with the Sponsor suitability assessment. Our third party service provider
will monitor client specific investment restrictions on a day to day basis. For SMA accounts, model trades will be traded by the Sponsor
or may be executed through a &#x201c;step-out transaction,&#x201d;- or traded away- from the client&#x2019;s Sponsor if doing so is consistent
with abrdn&#x2019;s obligation to obtain best execution. When placing trades through Sponsor Firms (instead of stepping them out), we will
generally aggregate orders where it is possible and in the client&#x2019;s best interests. In the event we are not comfortable that a Sponsor
can obtain best execution for a specific security and trading away is infeasible, we may exclude the security from the model.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Trading costs are not covered by the Wrap
Program fee and may result in additional costs to the client. In some instances, step-out trades are executed without any additional
commission, mark-up, or mark-down, but in many instances, the executing broker-dealer may impose a commission or a mark-up or
mark-down on the trade. Typically, the executing broker will embed the added costs into the price of the trade execution, making it
difficult to determine and disclose the exact added cost to clients. In this instance, these additional trading costs will be
reflected in the price received for the security, not as a separate commission, on trade confirmations or on account statements. In
determining best execution for SMA accounts, abrdn Inc. takes into consideration that the client will not pay additional trading
costs or commission if executing with the Sponsor.</p>

as and may perform similarly to SMA accounts, there are expected to be performance differences between them. There will be performance
dispersions between UMAs and other types of accounts because abrdn does not have discretion over trading and there may be client specific
restrictions for SMA accounts.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">abrdn may have already commenced trading for its
discretionary client accounts before the model delivery accounts have executed abrdn's recommendations. In this event, trades placed by
the model delivery clients may be subject to price movements, particularly with large orders or where securities are thinly traded, that
may result in model delivery clients receiving less favorable prices than our discretionary clients. abrdn has no discretion over transactions
executed by model delivery clients and is unable to control the market impact of those transactions.</p>

with the implementation of trades may result in non-discretionary and model delivery clients receiving materially different prices relative

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 27pt">abrdn&#x2019;s remuneration policies are designed
to support its business strategy as a leading international asset manager.&#xa0; The objective is to attract, retain and reward talented
individuals for the delivery of sustained, superior returns for abrdn&#x2019;s clients and shareholders.&#xa0; abrdn operates in a highly
competitive international employment market, and aims to maintain its strong track record of success in developing and retaining talent.</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#xa0;</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 27pt">abrdn&#x2019;s policy is to recognize corporate and
individual achievements each year through an appropriate annual bonus scheme. The bonus is a single, fully discretionary variable pay
award. The aggregate value of awards in any year is dependent on the group&#x2019;s overall performance and profitability.&#xa0; Consideration
is also given to the levels of bonuses paid in the market.&#xa0; Individual awards, which are payable to all members of staff, are determined
by a rigorous assessment of achievement against defined objectives.</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#xa0;</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 27pt">The variable pay award is composed of a mixture
of cash and a deferred award, the portion of which varies based on the size of the award.&#xa0; Deferred awards are by default abrdn plc
shares, with an option to put up to 50% of the deferred award into funds managed by abrdn. Overall compensation packages are designed
to be competitive relative to the investment management industry. Information below is as of December 31, 2024.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#xa0;</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 27pt">abrdn&#x2019;s policy is to pay a fair salary commensurate
with the individual&#x2019;s role, responsibilities and experience, and having regard to the market rates being offered for similar roles
in the asset management sector and other comparable companies. Any increase is generally to reflect inflation and is applied in a manner
consistent with other abrdn employees; any other increases must be justified by reference to promotion or changes in responsibilities.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 27pt">The Remuneration Committee determines the key performance
indicators that will be applied in considering the overall size of the bonus pool.&#xa0; In line with practices amongst other asset management
companies, individual bonuses are not subject to an absolute cap.&#xa0; However, the aggregate size of the bonus pool is dependent on
the group&#x2019;s overall performance and profitability.&#xa0; Consideration is also given to the levels of bonuses paid in the market.&#xa0;
Individual awards are determined by a rigorous assessment of achievement against defined objectives, and are reviewed and approved by
the Remuneration Committee.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 27pt">abrdn has a deferral policy which is intended to
assist in the retention of talent and to create additional alignment of executives&#x2019; interests with abrdn&#x2019;s sustained performance
and, in respect of the deferral into funds managed by abrdn, to align the interest of portfolio managers with our clients.</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#xa0;</p>


<p style="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 27pt">Staff performance is reviewed formally at least
once a year. The review process evaluates the various aspects that the individual has contributed to abrdn, and specifically, in the case
of portfolio managers, to the relevant investment team. Discretionary bonuses are based on client service, asset growth and the performance
of the respective portfolio manager. Overall participation in team meetings, generation of original research ideas and contribution to
presenting the team externally are also evaluated.</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#xa0;</p>


<p style="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 27pt">In the calculation of a portfolio management team&#x2019;s
bonus, abrdn takes into consideration investment matters (which include the performance of funds, adherence to the company investment
process, and quality of company meetings) as well as more subjective issues such as team participation and effectiveness at client presentations
through key performance indicator scorecards.&#xa0; To the extent performance is factored in, such performance is not judged against any
specific benchmark and is evaluated over the period of a year - January&#xa0;to December. The pre- or after-tax performance of an individual
account is not considered in the determination of a portfolio manager&#x2019;s discretionary bonus; rather the review process evaluates
the overall performance of the team for all of the accounts the team manages.</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#xa0;</p>


<p style="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 27pt">Portfolio manager performance on investment matters
is judged over all of the accounts the portfolio manager contributes to and is documented in the appraisal process.&#xa0; A combination
of the team&#x2019;s and individual&#x2019;s performance is considered and evaluated.</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#xa0;</p>


<p style="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 27pt">Although performance is not a substantial portion
of a portfolio manager&#x2019;s compensation, abrdn also recognizes that fund performance can often be driven by factors outside one&#x2019;s
control, such as (irrational) markets, and as such pays attention to the effort by portfolio managers to ensure integrity of our core
process by sticking to disciplines and processes set, regardless of momentum and &#x2018;hot&#x2019; themes.&#xa0; Short-terming is thus
discouraged and trading-oriented managers will thus find it difficult to thrive in the abrdn environment.&#xa0; Additionally, if any of
the aforementioned undue risks were to be taken by a portfolio manager, such trend would be identified via abrdn&#x2019;s dynamic compliance
monitoring system.</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&#xa0;</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">In rendering investment management
services, the Adviser may use the resources of additional investment adviser subsidiaries of abrdn plc. These affiliates have entered
into a memorandum of understanding (&#x201c;MOU&#x201d;) pursuant to which investment professionals from each affiliate may render portfolio
management, research or trading services to abrdn clients. Each investment professional who renders portfolio management, research or
trading services under a MOU or personnel sharing arrangement (&#x201c;Participating Affiliate&#x201d;) must comply with the provisions
of the Advisers Act of 1940, the 1940 Act, the Securities Act of 1933, the Exchange Act, and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, and the laws of states or countries in which the Adviser does business or has clients. No remuneration is paid by the Fund with
respect to the MOU/personnel sharing arrangements.</p>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"><B>Overview:</B>&nbsp;A &ldquo;conflict
of interest&rdquo; occurs when a Covered Officer&rsquo;s private interest interferes with the interests of, or service to, the Funds.
For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his or her family, receives improper benefits as
a result of his or her position with the Funds.</P>


<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>


<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Certain conflicts of interest
arise out of the relationship between Covered Officers and each Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the &ldquo;1940 Act&rdquo;) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the &ldquo;Advisers Act&rdquo;).
For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other
property) with the Funds because of their status as &ldquo;affiliated persons&rdquo; of the Funds. Each Fund&rsquo;s Adviser and Sub-adviser
(the &ldquo;adviser(s)&rdquo;) have adopted and implemented respective compliance programs and procedures that are designed to prevent,
or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to repeat or replace these programs and
procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code. Each Covered Officer should be sensitive to situations that
may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest and should encourage his or her colleagues who provide service to the
Funds, whether directly or indirectly, to do the same.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Although typically not presenting
an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between each Fund
and the investment adviser (and distributor to the Aberdeen open-end funds) of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees.
As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Fund
or the investment adviser or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects
on the investment adviser, distributor and the Funds. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the
contractual relationship between the Funds and the Adviser and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties
as officers of each Fund. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act, such activities will
be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Funds&rsquo; Board that the Covered Officers may also be
officers or employees of the Funds.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Other conflicts of interest
are covered by this Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act. The overarching
principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Funds. A defining
question is, &ldquo;What is the long term interest of current shareholders?&rdquo; The following list provides examples of conflicts of
interest under this Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive.</P>

the Funds must have procedures and internal controls to ensure compliance with proxy voting regulations. Specifically, the sub-advisers
must have procedures for the reporting of proxy voting, and communicating changes in proxy voting policies to the Funds. Prior to Board
approval of new advisers, the Chief Compliance Officer (&#8220;CCO&#8221;) reviews the proxy voting policies and procedures of the sub-adviser.
The CCO ensures that any inadequate procedures or controls of a sub-adviser are reported to the Board and must be corrected in a timely
manner.</P>

policies have been established to vote these proxies in the best interests of our clients.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We employ ISS as a service provider to facilitate electronic voting.
We require ISS to provide recommendations based on <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">our own set of parameters
tailored to abrdn</FONT>&#8217;<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">s assessment and approach, but remain conscious
that all voting decisions are our own on behalf of our clients. We consider ISS</FONT>&#8217;<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">s
recommendations and those based on our custom parameters as </FONT>input to our voting decisions. We make use of the ISS standard research
and recommendations and those based on our own custom policy as input to our voting decisions. Where our analysts make a voting decision
that is different from the recommendations based on our custom policy they will provide a rationale for such a decisions which will be
made publicly available in our voting disclosures.</P>


<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>


<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In order to make proxy voting decisions, an abrdn analyst
assesses the resolutions at general meetings in our active investment portfolios. This analysis will be based on our knowledge of
the company, but will also make use of the custom and standard recommendations provided by ISS as described above. The product of
this analysis will be a final voting decision instructed through ISS and applied to all funds for which abrdn have been appointed to
vote. For funds managed by a sub-adviser, we may delegate to the sub-adviser the authority to vote proxies; however, the sub-adviser
will be required to either follow our policies and procedures or to demonstrate that their policies and procedures are consistent
with ours, or otherwise implemented in the best interest of clients.</P>


<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>


<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">There may be certain circumstances where abrdn Inc. may take a more
limited role in voting proxies. We will not vote proxies for client accounts in which the client contract specifies that abrdn Inc. will
not vote. We may abstain from voting a <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">client proxy if the voting is uneconomic
or otherwise not in clients</FONT>&#8217; <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">best interests. For companies held
only in passively </FONT>managed portfolios, abrdn Inc. custom recommendations provided by ISS will be used to automatically apply our
voting approach; we have scope to intervene to test that this delivers appropriate results, and will on occasions intrude to apply <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">a
vote more fully in clients</FONT>&#8217; <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">best interests. If voting securities
are part of a securities lending program, we may be unable to </FONT>vote while the securities are on loan. However, we have the ability
to recall shares on loan or to restrict lending when required, in order to ensure all shares have voted. In addition, certain jurisdictions
may impose share-blocking restrictions at various times which may prevent abrdn Inc. from exercising our voting authority.</P>

clients. Companies must be clear about the drivers of their business success and their strategy for maintaining and enhancing it.
Investment is a forward-looking process; we seek to understand the opportunity for a business and its scope for future
value-creation over the long term. In order to do this, we need clarity on past business delivery and its drivers, and on the
effective track record of management; we require honest and open reporting to build confidence in that track record. We seek
confidence that companies and their management can maintain their competitive positioning and operational performance and
subsequently enhance returns for investors. A clear strategy and clarity about the drivers of operational success provides the lens
through which we will consider most corporate issues, not least assessing performance and risk management.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Effective decision making requires a mix of skills around the table
and constructive debate between diverse and different-minded individuals. A range of skills, experience and perspectives should be drawn
together on the board. These include industry knowledge, experience from other sectors and relevant geographical knowledge. Independence
of thought plays a crucial role in the ability of a board to generate the debate and discussion that will challenge management, help
enhance business performance and improve decision-making. Board assessments will help the board ensure it has the necessary mix of skills,
diversity and quality of individuals to address the current risks and opportunities the company faces. Unitary boards should comprise
an appropriate combination of executive and non-executive directors such that no group of individuals dominates decision-making. We expect
the size of the board to reflect the size, nature and complexity of the business. We also expect regular internal and external board
evaluations which include an assessment of board composition and effectiveness.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Running businesses effectively for the long term requires
effective collaboration and cooperation, with no individual or small group having unfettered powers. Nor should they have dominant
influence over the way a business is run or over major decisions about its operations or future. There should be a division of
responsibility between board leadership and executive leadership of the business. We believe that there should be a division of
roles at the top of the organisation, typically between a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and an independent Chair.</P>

re-elections to take place at least every three years. Lengthier board mandates, while not uncommon in some markets, risk divorcing
directors from an appropriate sense of accountability. Directors and management should make themselves available for discussions
with major shareholders as we expect to have open dialogue to share our perspectives and gain confidence that the individuals are
carrying out their roles with appropriate vigour and diligence. A further important element of director accountability to
shareholders is that investors should have the right, both formal and informal, to propose and promote individual directors to be
considered for election to the board by all shareholders.</P>

best outcome for the company in the context of the best outcome for our clients. There are instances where we are supportive of the
spirit of a resolution however there may be a reason which prevents our support for the proposal. For example, where the purpose of
the resolution is unclear, where the wording is overly prescriptive, when suggested implementation is overly burdensome or <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">where
the proposal strays too closely to the board</FONT>&#8217;<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">s responsibility

as so called &#8216;<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">say on climate</FONT>&#8217; <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">votes,
for shareholder approval. While we welcome the intention of accountability behind these votes, we </FONT>have reservations about the
potential for them to limit the scope for subsequent investor challenge and diminish the direct responsibility and accountability of
the board and individual directors. We believe it is the role of the board and the executive to develop and apply strategy,
including ESG strategies, and we will continue to use existing voting items to hold boards to account on the implementation of these
strategies. As active investors we also regularly engage with investee companies on ESG topics and find this dialogue to be the best
opportunity to provide feedback.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">A growing number of resolutions call on companies to increase the
transparency of their reporting on climate- related lobbying. These proposals typically encompass direct lobbying undertaken by the
company and indirect lobbying undertaken by trade associations and other organisations of which it is a member or supporter.

equity audit is an independent analysis of a company</FONT>&#8217;<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">s
business practices designed to identify practices that </FONT>may have a discriminatory effect. We are supportive of racial equity
audits in relation to internal and external D&amp;I programmes. It is appropriate that these programmes should have KPIs and audit
mechanisms in place to measure and evaluate outcomes. Some proposals request racial equity audits of provision of services. We are
aware that measuring provision of service is challenging and gathering racial data on customers can be difficult and inappropriate.
There are also multiple different factors that can influence service provision and which could be misconstrued as being racially
motivated. We will however, support resolutions which are not unduly prescriptive and allow companies to carry out audits within a
reasonable timeframe, at a reasonable cost, and excluding confidential or proprietary information.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We consider standardised gender pay gap disclosure to be an important
tool for assessing how companies are addressing gender inequality. Reporting on gender pay gaps across global operations can help companies
to remain ahead of the regulatory curve. It also enables them to offer better opportunities and remuneration for women around the world.
We are therefore supportive of resolutions which are likely to deliver these benefits. Proposals must be carefully drafted to achieve
these outcomes. For instance, in the past we have been unable to support resolutions which called for global median gender and racial
pay gap reporting as it was unclear how this would reveal potential pay disparities at a local level and how it could be implemented
by companies with operations in jurisdictions where collection of racial identity data is illegal.</P>

companies. The EEO-1 form details a comprehensive breakdown of workforce by race and gender according to ten employment categories.
The form is submitted privately to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on an annual basis. When publicly disclosed, it
offers investors and other stakeholders data in a standardised and comparable form. We have used our engagement programme to ask the
companies in which we invest to disclose this form for their US operations while making it central to our D&amp;I voting approach
and supporting resolutions that request it.</P>

indirect lobbying undertaken by trade associations and other organisations of which it is a member or supporter. Proposals may also request
the disclosure of more information regarding the process and rationale for political contributions. We expect companies to make transparent,
consolidated disclosures of direct and indirect lobbying and political expenditure. This disclosure should be underpinned by a coherent
policy that: explains public policy priorities and the rationale for associated expenditure, identifies the management positions responsible
for public policy engagement, and provides appropriate mechanisms for board oversight. These measures should mitigate the risks associated
with corporate lobbying and political contributions, protecting the interest of shareholders and other stakeholders.</P>

reliance on coal and its energy strategy presents safe nuclear power generation as an </FONT>important source of base-load power. In

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Applying ESG and sustainability criteria in the investment process
may result in the exclusion of securities within the universe of potential investments. The interpretation of ESG and sustainability
criteria is subjective meaning that products may invest in companies which similar products do not (and thus perform differently) and
which do not align with the personal views of any individual investor. Furthermore, the lack of common or harmonized definitions and
labels regarding ESG and sustainability criteria may result in different approaches by managers when integrating ESG and sustainability
criteria into investment decisions. This means that it may be difficult to compare strategies within ostensibly similar objectives and
that these strategies will employ different security selection and exclusion criteria. Consequently, the performance profile of otherwise
similar vehicles may deviate more substantially than might otherwise be expected. Additionally, in the absence of common or harmonized
definitions and labels, a degree of subjectivity is required and this will mean that a product may invest in a security that another
manager or an investor would not. abrdn plc is registered in Scotland (SC286832) at 1 George Street, Edinburgh EH2 2LL.</P>
