reinvest your distributions in shares of the Fund&#146;s common stock at favorable commission rates. Distributions made under the Plan are taxable to the same extent as are cash distributions. The Plan also enables you to make additional cash
investments in shares of at least $100 per transaction, with a maximum of $10,000 per month, and an aggregate annual limit of $120,000. Under this arrangement, The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (the &#147;Plan Agent&#148;) will purchase shares
for you on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise on the open market on or before the investment date. The investment date is the 15th day of each month, but if such date is not a business day, the preceding business&nbsp;day. </FONT></P> <P

However this was not enough in most cases to erase the losses of January and February. The two largest sectors of the market nevertheless showed a gain, with resource stocks rising 6.0% as commodity prices recovered and the bank index gaining 7.7%
on encouraging profitability statements. The US market also lost ground, the S&amp;P500 index fell 11.7%. Corporate earnings reporting season was a focal point for the Australian market in February. Profit numbers were roughly in line with analyst
forecasts, but weak outlook statements and forecast downgrades made for a broadly negative reaction from stock prices. Many companies also testified to strains on balance sheets and cash flow. Related to this, equity issuance was a consistent theme
of the first quarter. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2">Having ended the first quarter on a positive note,
global equity markets retained their momentum in the second quarter of the calendar year. The ASX200&#146;s gain of 10.4% was the first positive quarterly return since September 2007 and the best since December 2004. It eliminated the losses of the
first quarter to leave the market up 6.2% on the six months to end June; coupled with the S&amp;P500 gain of 15.2%. Within the Australian market more cyclical sectors outperformed, though for resources a marginal &#043;11% even though commodity
prices gained ground. Consumer discretionary (&#043;17.4%)&nbsp;was the strongest sector and banks (&#043;8.4%)&nbsp;lagged slightly being weighed down by disappointing earnings reports and capital raisings. As in the first quarter, equity issuance
was a consistent theme in the three months to June as companies sought to strengthen balance sheets. Notable among the issuers in the second quarter were Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. (&#147;ANZ&#148;), Macquarie Group, Rio Tinto and

<FONT STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2">The S&amp;P/ASX 200 index climbed 19.9% in the third quarter of the calendar year, ending 50.8% above the 2009 closing low on March&nbsp;6, 2009. This was
the best quarterly price return since third quarter 1987 (All Ordinances). Australia kept pace with other developed markets in local currency &#150; the S&amp;P500 gained 15.0% and the DJ Euro Stoxx 19.6%. In USD terms, Australia was one of the
strongest markets in the world due to a 9.5% gain in the AUD. Sector performance generally reflected a rotation to cyclical risk and became clear the Australian economy was stabilizing. Banks (&#043;35.6%)&nbsp;led as investors became more
comfortable about loan losses. The cyclical theme however did little for the relative performance of Resources (&#043;11%), as commodity prices were mixed in AUD terms. The equity issuance which was a feature of the first two quarters began to lag
in the third quarter. Most companies had already raised capital, as the cost and availability of debt improved. Acquisition activity continued the comeback which began in the second quarter. The 6 months June results came in generally better than
expectations including significant share price moves on results (more than 5% relative), gains outnumbered losses by two to one. Indicators of Australian activity pointed to a downturn that was shallow and short. Unemployment edged higher from May
to August, but the rate of change was modest compared with expectations. GDP was reported to have grown by 0.6% in the second quarter. Data from the US and Europe was more mixed but did suggest a turning point. </FONT></P> <P

recovery, causing an end to the Australian stock market&#146;s prospects of an eighth consecutive monthly rise as the S&amp;P/ASX200 index decreasing by 2.1%. Overseas markets also suffered within the Australian market, Banks (-1.4%) held up a
little better than average. Resources (-1.2%) also outperformed although Energy (-5.3%) took little comfort from higher oil prices. Other underperformers included REITs (-9.0%), which hit profit-taking after a strong run. The Australian dollar
continued to rally following a rise in the RBA&#146;s cash rate, and this weighed on sectors with overseas earnings such as Healthcare (-4.1%). National Australia Bank and ANZ began the bank earnings season with results that pointed to widening
margins and rising provisioning levels. The Reserve Bank became the first developed economy central bank to raise rates since the financial crisis, taking the cash rate target up by 0.25% to 3.25%. The move had generally been expected to come later
and led to further upward revision of short rate expectations. Labour market data added to this trend showing a surprise rise in employment in September. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

September&nbsp;30, 1985. The Fund&#146;s principal investment objective is long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in equity securities of Australian companies listed on the Australian Stock Exchange Limited. The Fund&#146;s
secondary investment objective is current income. In order to comply with a rule adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1940 Act regarding fund names, the Board of Directors has adopted an investment policy that, for as long as
the name of the Fund remains Aberdeen Australia Equity Fund, Inc., it shall be the policy of the Fund normally to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities, consisting of
common stock, preferred stock and convertible stock, of Australian companies listed on the Australian Stock Exchange Limited. For these purposes, &#147;Australian companies&#148; means companies that are tied economically to Australia. This 80%
investment policy is a non-fundamental policy of the Fund and may be changed by the Board of Directors upon 60 days prior written notice to shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

America which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The United States dollar is used as both the
functional and reporting currency. However, the Australian dollar is the functional currency for Federal tax purposes. (see Taxes on page 14). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

Directors has adopted Valuation and Liquidity Procedures (the &#147;Procedures&#148;) to be used in determining the value of the assets held by the Fund. These Procedures were reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors on December&nbsp;9, 2008.
In accordance with the Procedures, investments are stated at current fair market value. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted closing price on the date of determination as obtained from a pricing
source. If no such trade price is available, such investments are valued at the last quoted bid price as obtained from a pricing agent or broker selected by the Fund&#146;s Manager. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

sale) are to be valued at fair value. As a general rule, whether or not the Fund is required to &#147;fair value price&#148; an asset is dependent on the ready availability of current market quotes or, even if readily available, the reliability of
such quotes. Any assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which available prices are not reliable, shall be determined in a manner that most fairly reflects the asset&#146;s (or group of assets) &#147;fair value&#148;
(i.e., the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the asset upon its current sale) on the valuation date, based on a consideration of all available information. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management services for the Fund. The Committee and the Board also considered the allocation of responsibilities among the Advisers. In addition, the Committee and the Board
considered the financial condition of the Advisers and whether they had the financial wherewithal to provide a high level and quality of service to the Fund. The Committee and the Board also considered information received from the Fund&#146;s Chief
Compliance Officer regarding the Advisers&#146; compliance policies and procedures. The Committee and the Board also considered the Advisers&#146; brokerage polices and practices. Management also reported to the Committee and the Board on, among
other things, its business plans and organizational changes. The Committee and the Board also noted that the Board reviewed and assessed the quality of the services the Fund receives from the Advisers throughout the year, and received detailed
portfolio review and performance reports on a regular basis. The Committee and the Board determined that the advisory services provided were extensive in nature and of high quality. </FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE> <P

advisory fee and the administration fee) was below the Peer Group&#146;s median and average fee rates, respectively. The Committee and the Board noted that, among other information, the SI data also indicated that the Fund&#146;s annualized expense
ratio based on average net assets, excluding the principal amount of borrowings, for the six months ended April&nbsp;30, 2009 was above the average and median expense ratios, respectively, of the Peer Group. The Committee and the Board also took

considered that the compensation paid to the Investment Adviser is paid by the Investment Manager and not the Fund, and, accordingly that the retention of the Investment Adviser does not increase the fees or expenses otherwise incurred by the

STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2">Shareholders may elect to have all distributions automatically reinvested in Fund shares pursuant to the Plan. Generally, shareholders who do not participate in the Plan will receive distributions in cash paid by
check in United States dollars mailed directly to the shareholders of record (or if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Plan Agent. A shareholder whose shares are held by a broker or nominee that is
unable to participate in the Plan may request to have his shares re-registered in his own name to participate in the Plan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2">The Plan Agent serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Plan. Distributions payable to Plan participants will be promptly invested. If the Fund
declares a distribution payable in stock to shareholders who are not Plan participants, then Plan participants will receive that distribution in newly issued shares of the Fund&#146;s common stock on identical terms and conditions. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2">In every other case, Plan participants will receive shares on the following basis: if on
payable date, the market price of the Fund&#146;s common stock plus any applicable brokerage commission is equal to or exceeds the net asset value per share, Plan participants will receive newly-issued shares of the Fund&#146;s common stock valued
at the greater of net asset value per share or 95% of the then-current market price. If, on the other hand, the net asset value per share plus any brokerage commission exceeds the market price at such time, the Plan Agent will buy shares of common
stock in the open market. If the market price plus any applicable brokerage commission, exceeds net asset value per share as last determined before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases, the Plan Agent will suspend making open market purchases
and shall invest the balance available in newly-issued shares valued at the greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market value. All reinvestments are in full and fractional shares carried to four decimal places. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2">There is no direct charge to participants for reinvesting distributions, except for
brokerage commissions. The Plan Agent&#146;s fees for the handling of the reinvestment of distributions are paid by the Fund. There will be no brokerage commissions charged with respect to shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each
participant will pay a pro-rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent&#146;s open market purchases. Purchases and sales may be made through a broker affiliated with the Plan Agent. The automatic reinvestment of
distributions does not relieve participants of any federal income tax that may be payable on such distributions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:arial" SIZE="2">The Plan also allows participants to make voluntary cash investments by sending additional funds by a check drawn on a U.S. bank, in U.S. dollars, payable to the Plan
Agent. Additional voluntary cash investments must be in an amount of at least $100 with a maximum of $10,000 per month with an aggregate annual limit of $120,000 for the purchases of shares on the open market. Voluntary cash investments will be
invested on or before the 15th day of the month, and in no event more than 45 days after such date except where temporary curtailment or suspension of purchases is necessary to comply with applicable provisions of the federal securities laws. Cash
investments may be commingled with the Funds held by the Plan Agent for other shareholders of the Fund, and the average price (including brokerage commissions) of all shares purchased by the Plan Agent will be the price per share allocated to each
participant. In the event a participant&#146;s voluntary cash investment check is returned unpaid for any reason, the participant will be charged a $20.00 return fee. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

established by the Plan Agent and will receive stock certificates for all full shares. The Plan Agent will convert any fractional shares to cash at the then current market price, less a sales fee, and send a check to the participant for the
proceeds. The sales fee payable will be the lesser of $10 or the net proceeds from the sale of the fractional shares. If the fees and commissions exceed the proceeds from the sale of a fractional share, participants will receive a transaction advice
instead of a check. There is no sales fee in the case of issuance of a certificate for all full shares. If by giving proper notice to the Plan Agent, participants request cash, the Plan Agent will sell the shares and send the participant the
proceeds less a sales fee of $10 plus brokerage commissions of $0.10 per share. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:arial"

80% of their bonus as shares. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In the calculation of a portfolio manager&#146;s bonus, Aberdeen 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. Each Fund&#146;s performance is judged against the benchmark as established in the relevant Fund&#146;s most recent shareholder report. 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. A combination of the team&#146;s and individual&#146;s performance is considered. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"
ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Although performance is taken into account in setting a portfolio manager&#146;s compensation, Aberdeen also recognizes that fund performance can often be driven by factors outside
one&#146;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 &#145;hot&#146; themes.
Short-terming is thus discouraged and trading-oriented managers will thus find it difficult to thrive in the Aberdeen Group&#146;s environment. Additionally, if any of the aforementioned undue risks were to be taken by a portfolio manager, not only
would the portfolio manager be in breach of Aberdeen&#146;s Code of Ethics, but any such trend would be identified via Aberdeen&#146;s dynamic compliance monitoring system. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"

of an effective remuneration package, a long term incentive plan is used to structure the package so as to retain, motivate, and reward key staff members with a view to improving performance and thereby increasing the value of Aberdeen for the

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Each Fund&#146;s Board annually evaluates its Fund&#146;s contract with its Manager and Adviser, and decides whether to renew the contract. This process gives each Fund an annual opportunity to ensure
that its Manager&#146;s and Adviser&#146;s investment philosophy is generally consistent with its investment objectives and the best economic interests of its stockholders. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because the investment philosophy of each Fund&#146;s Manager and Adviser is generally consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund
and the best economic interests of Fund stockholders, investment decisions for each Fund should generally be consistent with its Manager&#146;s and Adviser&#146;s philosophy. In proxy voting decisions, as in other investment decisions, each
Fund&#146;s Manager or Adviser is in the best position to determine whether a particular proxy proposal is consistent with its philosophy, and therefore generally consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and the best economic interests
of Fund stockholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Accordingly, each Fund has chosen to delegate all responsibility for proxy voting to its Manager and
Adviser, provided that each Fund&#146;s Board has the opportunity to periodically review and approve their proxy voting policies and any material amendments (and that the policies contains provisions to address any conflicts of interest as described
below). The Trade Processing Department of the Administrator will serve as the Proxy Administrator and will take responsibility for ensuring, among other things, that the vote for each proxy is cast in accordance with the proxy voting policies and
procedures of the Manager and the Adviser. A Proxy Committee of the Manager and Adviser will take responsibility for determining whether and how to vote each proxy, whether a conflict of interest exists, and how such conflicts are to be resolved in
accordance with the proxy voting policies and procedures of the Manager and the Adviser. Under this delegation, the Manager and Adviser may vote, abstain from voting, or take no action on proxies for a Fund in any manner consistent with the
Manager&#146;s and Adviser&#146;s proxy voting policies (subject to provisions for addressing conflicts of interest). Each Fund may revoke all or part of such delegation at any time by a vote of its Board. In the event that a Fund revokes the
delegation of proxy voting responsibility to its Manager and Adviser, the Fund will assume full responsibility for ensuring that proxies are voted in the best interest of its stockholders, and will promptly notify stockholders of the revocation.
Thereafter, such Fund will vote proxies of portfolio securities consistently with the policies of its Manager and Adviser, or develop its own basis for voting on particular matters. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">This delegation generally applies to all proxy voting matters on which each Fund may vote, such as corporate governance matters (including
changes in the state of incorporation, mergers and other corporate restructurings, and anti-takeover provisions such as staggered boards, poison pills, and supermajority provisions); changes to capital structure, including increases and decreases of
capital and preferred stock issuance; stock option plans and other management compensation issues; and social and corporate responsibility issues. This delegation permits the Manager and Adviser to vote (or abstain from voting or take no action on)
proxies relating to matters that may affect substantially the rights or privileges of the holders of securities to be voted, and to vote based on the Adviser&#146;s decisions or on provisions of the Manager&#146;s and Adviser&#146;s proxy policies
that may support or give weight to the views of management of a portfolio company. </FONT></P>

SIZE="2">A. Client&#146;s Best Interest. These Policies and Procedures are designed and implemented in a way that is reasonably expected to ensure that proxies are voted in the best interests of clients. Proxies are voted with the aim of furthering
the best economic interests of clients, promoting high levels of corporate governance and adequate disclosure of company policies, activities and returns, including fair and equal treatment of stockholders. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">B. Shareholder Activism. Aberdeen Advisers seek to develop relationships with the management of portfolio companies to encourage transparency

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">C. Case-by-Case Basis. These Policies and Procedures are guidelines. Each vote is ultimately cast on a case-by-case basis, taking into
consideration the contractual obligations under the advisory agreement or comparable document, and all other relevant facts and circumstances at the time of the vote. Aberdeen Advisers may cast proxy votes in favor of management proposals or seek to
change the views of management, considering specific issues as they arise on their merits. Aberdeen Advisers may also join with other investment managers in seeking to submit a shareholder proposal to a company or to oppose a proposal submitted by
the company. Such action may be based on fundamental, social, environmental or human rights grounds. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">D. Individualized. These
Policies and Procedures are tailored to suit Aberdeen&#146;s advisory business and the types of securities portfolios Aberdeen Advisers manage. To the extent that clients (e.g., investment companies, corporations, pension plans) have adopted their
own procedures, Aberdeen Advisers may vote the same securities differently depending upon clients&#146; directions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">E.
Material Conflicts of Interest. Material conflicts are resolved in the best interest of clients. When a material conflict of interest between an Aberdeen Adviser and its respective client(s) is identified, the Aberdeen Adviser will choose among the
procedures set forth in Section IV.B.2. below to resolve such conflict. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">F. Limitations. The circumstances under which Aberdeen
may take a limited role in voting proxies, include the following: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">1. No Responsibility. Aberdeen Advisers will not vote
proxies for client accounts in which the client contract specifies that Aberdeen will not vote. Under such circumstances, the clients&#146; custodians are instructed to mail proxy material directly to such clients or the clients&#146; designees.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">2. Limited Value. An Aberdeen Adviser may abstain from voting a client proxy if the Aberdeen Adviser determines that the
effect on shareholders&#146; economic interests or the value of the portfolio holding is indeterminable or insignificant. Aberdeen Advisers may also abstain from voting the proxies of portfolio companies held in their passively managed funds.
Proxies with respect to securities that have been sold before the date of the shareholders meeting and are no longer held by a client generally will not be voted. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">3. Unjustifiable Costs. An Aberdeen Adviser may abstain from voting a client proxy for cost reasons (e.g., non-U.S. securities). </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">4. Securities Lending Arrangements. If voting securities are part of a securities lending program, Aberdeen may be unable to vote while the
securities are on loan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">5. Share Blocking. Certain jurisdictions may impose share blocking restrictions at various times which
may prevent Aberdeen from exercising its voting authority. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">6. Special Considerations. Aberdeen&#146;s responsibilities for voting proxies are
determined generally by its obligations under each advisory contract or similar document. If a client requests in writing that an Aberdeen Adviser vote its proxy in a manner inconsistent with these Policies and Procedures, the Aberdeen Adviser may
follow the client&#146;s direction or may request that the client vote the proxy directly. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">G. Sources of Information. The
Aberdeen Advisers may conduct research internally and/or use the resources of an independent research consultant. The Aberdeen Advisers may consider legislative materials, studies of corporate governance and other proxy voting issues, and/or
