Fund&#146;s shares trade is ultimately caused by matters of supply and demand for the Fund&#146;s shares, and the Board does not believe that adopting the proposed interval fund structure will substantially alter the imbalance between demand for and
supply of the Fund&#146;s shares that produces the discount. Moreover, the experience of The Asia Tigers Fund cited by the stockholder does not provide clear evidence that an interval fund structure reduces the discount of a closed-end fund&#146;s
shares. <B>For example, although The Asia Tigers Fund&#146;s discount was 19% on January 1, 2002, the discount fell to 16.50% on January 4, 2002 and 13.95% on January 11, 2002, before the interval fund proposal was publicly announced on January 29,
2002. Throughout the remainder of 2002, that Fund&#146;s discount drifted up and down.</B> Accordingly, it is unclear whether any reduction in that fund&#146;s discount resulted from the interval fund structure or from general market conditions.
There is no reason to assume that adopting an interval fund structure would have the effect of reducing the Fund&#146;s discount. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:-6px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P

interval fund structure, certain stockholders would benefit as a result of the ability of stockholders to resell their shares to the Fund at net asset value less the applicable repurchase fee, if any, and the fact that the Fund&#146;s shares might
momentarily trade at a lower discount than is currently the case. Nevertheless, your Board of Directors does not believe that adopting an interval fund structure would benefit the Fund&#146;s stockholders generally, particularly longer-term
stockholders, and is strongly opposed to Proposal 2 for the following reasons: </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:-6px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

can be more fully invested. Moreover, the Fund is never forced to sell securities at an inopportune time to meet repurchase requests. Both features would change if the Fund were to adopt the proposed interval fund structure and conduct regular
large-scale repurchases accordingly. The Fund would thereafter be required to alter its investments so as to maintain cash reserves and portfolio liquidity to effect repurchases, and might be forced to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times
to obtain cash to meet repurchase requests. Both changes would likely have an adverse effect on the Fund&#146;s performance. In addition, as the Manager has advised the Board, the Manager would be constrained in its ability to add value through
appropriate diversification, sector allocation and investment in medium and smaller capitalization companies as well as less liquid companies in a manner consistent with the Fund&#146;s past practice or investor expectations. <B>The closed-end
structure of the Fund allows it to invest in securities that the Manager deems appropriate to hold over the long term, with the potential for higher returns than investments which are meant to be held for short time periods. Adopting an interval
fund structure may render the Fund unable to make such long-term investments, which may adversely affect the Fund&#146;s performance. </B> </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:-6px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P

consistently strong relative performance of the past several years in comparison with its benchmark market index, which is the Bombay Stock Exchange National Index, comprised of a market capitalization weighted index of 100 companies expressed in
U.S. dollar terms. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Fund outperformed its benchmark with the Fund having a total return (based on net asset value per share) of 13.94%, compared to 7.5% for its benchmark. For the five years ended December
31, 2002, the Fund outperformed its benchmark with the Fund having an average annual return (based on net asset value per share) of 11.89%, compared to an average of &#150;3.02% for the Fund&#146;s benchmark. Accordingly, the benefit of the
reduction, if any, in the Fund&#146;s discount that might occur upon the adoption of the proposed interval fund structure, may be partially offset by resulting impairment in the Fund&#146;s performance. </FONT></P><P

four repurchases per year as proposed by the stockholder). Finally, if the Fund adopts the proposed interval fund structure, the increased transaction costs with respect to portfolio securities caused by increased repurchases would cause a
