<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Aberdeen Australia Equity Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") has entered into an amended and restated sales agreement (the "sales agreement") with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC ("JonesTrading") relating to the shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, ("Common Shares"), offered by this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. In accordance with the terms of the sales agreement, the Fund may offer and sell up to 3,250,000 Common Shares from time to time through JonesTrading as its agent for the offer and sale of the Common Shares. As of January 3, 2014, the Fund had offered and sold 796,519 Common Shares pursuant to a prior sales agreement with JonesTrading. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the Fund may not sell any Common Shares at a price below the current net asset value of such Common Shares, exclusive of any distributing commission or discount. The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund'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's secondary investment objective is current income, which is expected to be derived primarily from dividends and interest on Australian corporate and governmental securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Fund's currently outstanding Common Shares are, and the Common Shares offered by this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus will be, subject to notice of issuance, listed on the NYSE MKT under the symbol "IAF." The last reported sale price for the Fund's Common Shares on the NYSE MKT on January 3, 2014 was $8.58 per share. The net asset value of the Fund's Common Shares at the close of business on January 3, 2014 was $8.56 per share.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Sales of the Common Shares, if any, under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be "at the market" as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), including sales made directly on the NYSE MKT or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">JonesTrading will be entitled to compensation of 100 to 300 basis points of the gross sales price per share for any Common Shares sold under the sales agreement, with the exact amount of such compensation to be mutually agreed upon by the Fund and JonesTrading from time to time. In connection with the sale of the Common Shares on the Fund's behalf, JonesTrading may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the compensation of JonesTrading may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"><b>You should review the information set forth under "Risks and Special Considerations" on page 22 of the accompanying Prospectus before investing in the Fund's Common Shares.</b></font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"><i>The following information is only a summary. You should consider the more detailed information contained in this Prospectus Supplement, the accompanying Prospectus, dated December 17, 2013, and the SAI, dated December 17, 2013, especially the information under "Risks and Special Considerations" on page 22 of the accompanying Prospectus.</i></font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Fund&nbsp;&nbsp; </font><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company organized as a Maryland corporation.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Fund's Common Shares are listed for trading on the NYSE MKT under the symbol "IAF." As of January 3, 2014, the net assets of the Fund were $193,124,178 and the Fund had outstanding 22,574,119Common Shares. The last reported sale price of the Fund's Common Shares, as reported by the NYSE MKT on January 3, 2014 was $8.58 per Share. The net asset value of the Fund's Common Shares at the close of business on January 3, 2014was $8.56 per Share. See "Description of Shares" in the accompanying Prospectus.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Fund'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 ("ASX"). Its secondary objective is current income, which is expected to be derived primarily from dividends and interest on Australian corporate and governmental securities.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Fund will normally 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. As a fundamental policy, at least 65% of the Fund's total assets must be invested in companies listed on the ASX. Australian Companies are companies that are tied economically to Australia. Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Limited, the Fund's investment manager ("AAMAL" or the "Investment Manager"), uses the following criteria in determining if a company is "tied economically" to Australia: whether the company: (i) is a constituent of the ASX; (ii) has its headquarters located in Australia; (iii) pays dividends on its stock in Australian dollars; (iv) has its accounts audited by Australian auditors; (v) is subject to Australian taxes levied by the Australian Taxation Office; (vi) holds its annual general meeting in Australia; (vii) has common stock/ordinary shares and/or other principal class of securities registered with Australian regulatory authorities for sale in Australia; (viii) is incorporated in Australia; or (ix) has a majority of its assets located in Australia or a majority of its revenues derived from Australian sources. In determining whether a company is "tied economically" to Australia, the Investment Manager will consider certain of these criteria separately while others will only be considered in combination with other criteria.</font></p>

Such debt securities will be rated in one of the four highest rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the Investment Manager, and will typically have a maturity of 10 years or less. The Fund's investments in any one industry or group of industries are generally limited to 25% of its total assets, except that it may invest between 25% and 35% of its total assets in securities of an industry group that, at the time of investment, represents 20% or more of the S&amp;P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index.

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Sales of the Fund's Common Shares, if any, under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be "at the market" as defined in Rule 415 under the 1933 Act, including sales made directly on the NYSE MKT or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. There is no guarantee that there will be any sales of the Fund's Common Shares pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. Actual sales, if any, of the Fund's Common Shares under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus may be less than as set forth in this paragraph. In addition, the price per share of any such sale may be greater or less than the price set forth in this paragraph, depending on the market price of the Fund's Common Shares at the time of any such sale. As a result, the actual net proceeds the Fund receives may be more or less than the amount of net proceeds estimated in this Prospectus Supplement. Assuming the sale of all of the Fund's Common Shares offered under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus, at the last reported sale price of $8.58 per share for the Fund's Common Shares on the NYSE MKT as of January 3, 2014, the Fund estimates that the net proceeds of this offering will be approximately $27,466,725 after deducting the estimated sales load and the estimated offering expenses payable by the Fund.</font></p>

It is anticipated that the Fund will be able to invest substantially all of the net proceeds of an offering in accordance with its investment objectives and policies within approximately 60 days after completion of the offering. Pending such investment, the Fund anticipates investing the proceeds in short-term securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities or in high quality, short-term or long-term debt obligations or money market instruments.</font></p>

There is no guarantee that there will be any sales of the Fund's Common Shares pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. Actual sales, if any, of the Fund's Common Shares under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus may be less than as set forth in this paragraph. In addition, the price per share of any such sale may be greater or less than the price set forth in this paragraph, depending on the market price of the Fund's Common Shares at the time of any such sale. Assuming 3,250,000 of the Fund's Common Shares offered hereby are sold at a market price of $8.58 per share (the last reported sale price for the Fund's Common Shares on the NYSE MKT on January 3, 2014), the Fund estimates that the total expenses for the offering, excluding compensation payable to JonesTrading under the terms of the sales agreement, would be approximately $175,000, which are included under "Other Expenses" in the fee table above and are part of the Fund's "Total Annual Operating Expenses." This estimate is inclusive of reimbursable expenditures to JonesTrading of up to $25,000 in reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for JonesTrading in each annual period following the date of the sales agreement.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Settlement for sales of Common Shares will occur on the third business day (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made, or on some other date that is agreed upon by the Fund and JonesTrading in connection with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to the Fund. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">In connection with the sale of the Common Shares on the Fund's behalf, JonesTrading may, and will with respect to sales effected in an "at the market offering," be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the 1933 Act, and the compensation of JonesTrading may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. The Fund has agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to JonesTrading against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the 1933 Act.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The offering of the Fund's Common Shares pursuant to the sales agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the sale of all Common Shares subject to the sales agreement or (2) termination of the sales agreement. The sales agreement may be terminated by the Fund in its sole discretion at any time by giving notice to JonesTrading. In addition, JonesTrading may terminate the sales agreement under the circumstances specified in the sales agreement and in its sole discretion at any time following a period of 12 months from the date of the sales agreement by giving notice to the Fund.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The   Fund will normally 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.   As a fundamental policy, at least 65% of the Fund&#146;s total assets must be   invested in companies listed on the ASX. Australian Companies are companies   that are tied economically to Australia. Aberdeen Asset Management Asia   Limited, the Fund&#146;s investment manager (&#147;AAMAL&#148; or the &#147;Investment Manager&#148;),   uses the following criteria in determining if a company is &#147;tied   economically&#148; to Australia: whether the company: (i) is a constituent of the   ASX; (ii) has its headquarters located in Australia; (iii) pays dividends on   its stock in Australian dollars; (iv) has its accounts audited by Australian   auditors; (v) is subject to Australian taxes levied by the Australian   Taxation Office; (vi) holds its annual general meeting in Australia; (vii)   has common stock/ordinary shares and/or other principal class of securities   registered with Australian regulatory authorities for sale in Australia; (viii)   is incorporated in Australia; or (ix) has a majority of its assets located in   Australia or a majority of its revenues derived from Australian sources. In   determining whether a company is &#147;tied economically&#148; to Australia, the   Investment Manager will consider certain of these criteria separately while   others will only be considered in combination with other criteria.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The   Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in unlisted equity securities.   The Fund may also invest in debt securities issued by companies tied   economically to Australia, Australian Federal and State governments and the   U.S. government. Such debt securities will be rated in one of the four   highest rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating   organization or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the   Investment Manager, and will typically have a maturity of 10 years or less.   The Fund&#146;s investments in any one industry or group of industries are   generally limited to 25% of its total assets, except that it may invest   between 25% and 35% of its total assets in securities of an industry group   that, at the time of investment, represents 20% or more of the S&amp;P/ASX   200 Accumulation Index. The Fund has authority to enter into repurchase   agreements and to lend its portfolio securities. See &#147;Investment Policies.&#148;</font></p>    </td>   </tr>  </table>

Fluctuations in the value of these non-U.S. currencies relative   to the U.S. dollar can adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of the Fund&#146;s   assets.

Additionally, distributions may   include return of capital as well as net investment income and capital gains.   A return of capital is a return to investors of a portion of their original   investment in the Fund. In general terms, a return of capital would involve a   situation in which a Fund distribution (or a portion thereof) represents a   return of a portion of a shareholder&#146;s investment in the Fund, rather than   making a distribution that is funded from the Fund&#146;s earned income or other   profits. Although return of capital distributions may not be currently   taxable, such distributions would decrease the basis of a shareholder&#146;s   shares, and therefore, may increase a shareholder&#146;s tax liability for capital   gains upon a sale of shares, even if sold at a loss to the shareholder&#146;s   original investments. If the Fund&#146;s investments do not generate sufficient   income, the Fund may be required to liquidate a portion of its portfolio to   fund these distributions.

To the extent that the Fund has earnings available   for distribution, its distributions in the hands of shareholders may be   treated as ordinary dividend income, although certain distributions may be   reported by the Fund as capital gain distributions, which would be treated as   long-term capital gain, or qualified dividend income, in the case of   individuals which may be eligible for long-term capital gain tax rates if   certain holding period rules&nbsp;apply. Dividends and capital gains   distributions paid by the Fund are not expected to qualify for the corporate   dividends- received deduction. Distributions in excess of the Fund&#146;s current   and accumulated earnings and profits will first reduce a shareholder&#146;s basis   in his shares and, after the shareholder&#146;s basis is reduced to zero, will   constitute capital gains to the shareholder who holds his shares as capital   assets.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On December&nbsp;9, 2013, the per share net asset value was $8.45 and the per Share market price was $9.46, representing a 11.95% premium over such net asset value.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fund&#146;s Shares have traded in the market below, at and above net asset value since the commencement of the Fund&#146;s operations.&#160; However, it has been the case that the Fund&#146;s Shares have traded at a discount from net asset value. The Fund cannot determine the reasons why the Fund&#146;s Shares trade at a premium to or discount from net asset value, nor can the Fund predict whether its Shares will trade in the future at a premium to or discount from net asset value, or the level of any premium or discount. Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount from net asset value.</font></p>

The Board of Directors amended the program on December&nbsp;12, 2007. The stock repurchase program permits the Fund to repurchase up to 10% of its outstanding shares on the open market during any 12-month period, if and when the discount from net asset value is at least 8%. All purchases must be made in compliance with applicable legal requirements and such requirements may prevent the Fund from making such repurchases during the offering of Shares described in this Prospectus.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">When the Fund repurchases its shares for a price below their net asset value, the net asset value of the shares that remain outstanding will be enhanced, but this does not necessarily mean that the market price of those outstanding shares will be affected. Any acquisition of shares by the Fund will decrease the amount of total assets of the Fund and therefore may increase the Fund&#146;s expense ratio. Furthermore, if the Fund borrows to finance share repurchases, interest on such borrowings will reduce the Fund&#146;s net investment income. (The Fund&#146;s fundamental investment restrictions permit it to borrow to the extent permitted, or not prohibited, by the 1940 Act, and related rules&nbsp;and regulatory interpretations.) If the Fund must liquidate a portion of its investment portfolio in connection with a share repurchase, such liquidation might be at a time when independent investment judgment would not dictate such action, increasing the Fund&#146;s overall portfolio turnover and making it more difficult for the Fund to achieve its investment objective. Since inception of the share repurchase program, the Fund has repurchased 435,500 Shares, for a total consideration of $2,567,294, with a cumulative effect of increasing the Fund&#146;s per Share net asset value by 3.11 cents. There have not been any repurchases of shares under this program since the fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2009.</font></p>

The Fund&#146;s investment objectives and each of the percentage limitations on investments set forth below in &#147;Investment Policies,&#148; unless otherwise indicated, are fundamental policies that may not be changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund&#146;s outstanding voting securities. Under the 1940 Act, a majority of the Fund&#146;s outstanding voting securities means the lesser of (i)&nbsp;67% or more of the shares represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of the outstanding shares are represented or (ii)&nbsp;more than 50% of the outstanding shares. In the event that the Fund issues preferred shares, changes in fundamental policies would also require approval by a majority of the outstanding preferred shares, voting as a separate class.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board of Directors has adopted a policy that, for as long as the name of the Fund remains Aberdeen Australia Equity Fund,&nbsp;Inc., the Fund will normally 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. As a fundamental policy, at least 65% of the Fund&#146;s total assets must be invested in ASX-listed companies. Australian Companies are companies that are tied economically to Australia. The following criteria will be considered in determining if a company is &#147;tied economically&#148; to Australia: whether the company (i)&nbsp;is a constituent of the ASX; (ii)&nbsp;has its headquarters located in Australia; (iii)&nbsp;pays dividends on its stock in Australian dollars; (iv)&nbsp;has its accounts audited by Australian auditors; (v)&nbsp;is subject to Australian taxes levied by the Australian Taxation Office; (vi)&nbsp;holds its annual general meeting in Australia; (vii)&nbsp;has common stock/ordinary shares and/or other principal class of securities registered with Australian regulatory authorities for sale in Australia; (viii)&nbsp;is incorporated in Australia; or (ix)&nbsp;has a majority of its assets located in Australia or a majority of its revenues derived from Australian sources. Certain of these criteria can be considered on their own in determining whether a company is &#147;tied economically&#148; to Australia, while others are only considered in combination with other criteria. Most of the Fund&#146;s holdings meet several of the above-listed criteria. The Fund uses such criteria for the following reasons: the ASX is a primary benchmark for equity investment in Australia; location in Australia of a company&#146;s headquarters, auditors or site of its annual meeting are indicative of where key strategic planning and direction of the company take place; payment of dividends may be an important component of returns in which earnings are distributed to shareholders; payment of taxes generally evidences that assets of the company are resident in, or that income is earned in, Australia; registration of securities for sale in Australia indicates that the company is seeking capital from Australian securities markets; and incorporation in Australia establishes corporate domicile and subjects the company to Australian legal, tax and regulatory requirements. The Fund&#146;s 80% investment policy is a non-fundamental policy of the Fund and may be changed by the Board of Directors upon 60 days&#146; prior written notice to shareholders. However, it is a fundamental policy of the Fund to normally invest at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock and convertible preferred stock, listed on the ASX. Although securities listed on the ASX may include securities of New Zealand issuers that are listed on the ASX, New Zealand companies will not be included in the Fund&#146;s definition of an Australian company under criterion (i)&nbsp;above. However, up to 10% of the value of the Fund&#146;s total assets (at the time of purchase) may be invested in unlisted equity securities.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fund may also invest in debt securities, consisting of notes and debentures of Australian companies, bills and bonds of the Federal and State governments of Australia and U.S. Government securities. Such debt securities will be rated in one of the four highest rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the Investment Manager, and will typically have a maturity of 10 years or less. During periods when, in the Investment Manager&#146;s judgment, changes in the Australian market or other economic conditions warrant a defensive economic policy, the Fund may temporarily reduce its position in equity securities and increase its position in debt securities or in money market instruments having a maturity of not more than six months and consisting of Australian bank time deposits; bills and acceptances; Australian Federal Treasury bills; Australian corporate notes; and U.S. Treasury bills. The Fund may also invest in such money market instruments in order to meet dividend and expense obligations.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In 1999, the Fund received a no-action assurance letter from the SEC staff to permit the Fund to concentrate its portfolio investments under certain circumstances. The Fund will not invest in a security if, after the investment, more than 25% of its total assets would be invested in any one industry or group of industries, provided that the Fund may invest between 25% and 35% of its total assets in the securities of any one industry group if, at the time of investment, that industry group represents 20% or more of the S&amp;P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index. The no-action letter issued by the SEC staff referred to industry sectors of the Australian All Ordinaries Index, then the Fund&#146;s performance benchmark. The Fund&#146;s performance benchmark was subsequently changed to the S&amp;P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index, as reported to shareholders in the Fund&#146;s semi-annual report for the period ended April&nbsp;30, 2000. The S&amp;P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index comprises the top 200 companies listed on the ASX by market capitalization, and was introduced by the ASX in April&nbsp;2000. The S&amp;P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index most closely represents the universe of stocks that are held by the Fund. Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s subsequently discontinued the use of the ASX classification system for the S&amp;P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index and replaced such classification system with the Global Industry Classification Standard (&#147;GICS&#148;). The GICS classification tier of 23 Industry Groupings, which the Fund currently uses for its concentration policy, is the classification most comparable to the 24 ASX sectors formerly used by both the Australian All Ordinaries Index and the S&amp;P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index.</font></p>

The Fund&#146;s annual portfolio turnover rate for its fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2013 was 15%. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated by dividing the lesser of sales or purchases of portfolio securities by the average monthly value of the Fund&#146;s portfolio securities. For purposes of this calculation, portfolio securities exclude purchases and sales of debt securities having a maturity at the date of purchase by the Fund of one year or less.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with banks and broker-dealers when it deems it advisable. A repurchase agreement is a contract under which the Fund acquires a security for a relatively short period (usually no more than one week) subject to the obligations of the seller to repurchase and the Fund to resell such security at a fixed time and price (representing the Fund&#146;s cost plus interest). The Investment Manager will monitor the value of such securities daily to determine that the value equals or exceeds the repurchase price. Under the 1940 Act, repurchase agreements are considered to be loans made by the Fund which are collateralized by the securities subject to repurchase.

Under such agreements, the Fund may lend to borrowers (primarily banks and broker-dealers) portfolio securities with an aggregate market value of up to one- third of the Fund&#146;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. 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 will</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The financial crisis that began in 2008 has caused a significant decline in the value and liquidity of many securities of issuers worldwide. In response to the crisis, governments and central banks around the world have taken steps to support financial markets. The withdrawal of this support, failure of efforts to respond to the crisis, or investor perception that such efforts are not succeeding could also negatively affect financial markets generally as well as the value and liquidity of certain securities.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Currency Exchange Rate Fluctuations. </font></i></b><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Currency exchange rates can fluctuate significantly over short periods and can be subject to unpredictable changes based on a variety of factors, including political developments and currency controls by foreign governments. The Fund will normally hold almost all its assets in Australian dollar denominated securities, although some assets may be denominated in other foreign currencies. Accordingly, a change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will generally result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of the Fund&#146;s assets. Such a change may thus decrease the Fund&#146;s net asset value.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition, although most of the Fund&#146;s income will be received or realized primarily in Australian dollars, the Fund will be required to compute and distribute its income in U.S. dollars. Therefore, for example, if the exchange rate for the Australian dollar declines after the Fund&#146;s income has been accrued and translated in U.S. dollars, but before the income has been received or converted into U.S. dollars, the Fund could be required to liquidate portfolio securities to make distributions. Similarly, if the exchange rate declines between the time the Fund incurs expenses in U.S. dollars and the time such expenses are paid, the amount of Australian dollars required to be converted into U.S. dollars in order to pay those expenses will be greater than the Australian dollar equivalent of those expenses at the time they were incurred. Similar effects may result from the Fund&#146;s investments that are denominated in other foreign currencies.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Currency exchange rate fluctuations can decrease or eliminate income available for distribution or, conversely, increase income available for distribution. For example, in some situations, if certain currency exchange losses exceed net investment income for a taxable year, the Fund would not be able to make ordinary income distributions, and all or a portion of distributions made before the losses were realized but in the same taxable year would be recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, thus reducing shareholders&#146; cost basis in their Fund shares, or as a capital gain distribution, rather than as an ordinary income dividend.</font></p>

Additionally, accounting, auditing, financial reporting standards and other regulatory practices and requirements for securities in which the Fund may invest vary from those applicable to entities subject to regulation in the United States. The Australian securities market for both listed and unlisted securities may be more volatile and less liquid than the major U.S. markets. In addition, the cost to the Fund of buying, selling and holding securities in the Australian market may be higher than in the United States.</font></p>

Consequently, the Investment Manager and the Investment Adviser will benefit from an increase in the Fund&#146;s net assets resulting from an offering. In addition, a Director who is an &#147;interested person&#148; (as such term is defined under the 1940 Act) of the Fund or a portfolio manager of the Fund could benefit indirectly from an offering because of such affiliations.</font></p>

Also, Australia is located in a part of the world that has historically been prone to natural disasters such as drought and is economically sensitive to environmental events. Any such event could result in a significant adverse impact on the Australian economy.</font></p>

At any time the Fund has such a concentration of investments in a single industry group, it will be particularly vulnerable to adverse economic, political and other factors that affect that industry group. An industry sector can include more than one industry group. As of October&nbsp;31, 2013, 37% of the Fund&#146;s total assets were invested in the financials sector of the Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s Global Industry Classification Sectors, making the Fund particularly vulnerable to developments that negatively affect that sector. While the Fund did not concentrate its investments in the materials sector, as of October&nbsp;31, 2013, 22% of the Fund&#146;s total assets were invested in the materials sector of the Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s Global Industry Classification Sectors, making the Fund particularly vulnerable to developments that negatively affect that sector. Concentration in the financials sector may make the Fund vulnerable to risks of regulation, consolidation, financial innovation and technological progress. Significant exposure to the materials sector may make the Fund vulnerable to risks that the issuers in such sector will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes and/or increased competition affecting that sector.</font></p>

This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that net asset value will decrease. The Fund&#146;s shares have frequently traded in the market below net asset value since the commencement of the Fund&#146;s operations. However, during the 12-month period ended October&nbsp;31, 2013, the Fund&#146;s Shares have traded in the market at an average premium over net asset value of 8.20%.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Distribution Rate. </font></i></b><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fund has a managed distribution policy under which quarterly distributions, at a rate determined annually by the Board of Directors, are paid from current income, supplemented by realized capital gains and, to the extent necessary, paid-in capital. See &#147;Dividends and Distributions - Managed Distribution Policy.&#148; There can be no assurance that the distribution rate set at any time, or the policy itself, will be maintained. To the extent total distributions for a year exceed the Fund&#146;s net investment income, such excess will be deemed for U.S. federal income tax purposes to have been distributed from realized capital gains and/or will be treated as return of capital, as applicable. In general terms, a return of capital would involve a situation in which a Fund distribution (or a portion thereof) represents a return of a portion of a shareholder&#146;s investment in the Fund, rather than making a distribution that is funded from the Fund&#146;s earned income or other profits. Although return of capital distributions may not be currently taxable, such distributions would decrease the basis of a shareholder&#146;s shares, and therefore, may increase a shareholder&#146;s tax liability for capital gains upon a sale of shares, even if sold at a loss to the shareholder&#146;s original investments. The Fund&#146;s managed distribution policy may, in certain situations, cause the Fund to make taxable distributions to shareholders in excess of the minimum amounts of such taxable distributions required to avoid liability for federal income and excise taxes. Such excess taxable distributions may, in such situations, cause shareholders to be liable for taxes for which they would not otherwise be liable if the Fund only paid that amount required to avoid liability for federal income and excise taxes. The Fund&#146;s income distributions and its capital and currency gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currencies.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If the Fund&#146;s investments do not generate sufficient income, the Fund may be required to liquidate a portion of its portfolio to fund these distributions, and therefore a portion or all of such distributions may represent a reduction of the shareholders&#146; principal investment. Such liquidation might be at a time when independent investment judgment would not dictate such action, increasing the Fund&#146;s overall portfolio turnover (and related transaction costs) and making it more difficult for the Fund to achieve its investment objective.</font></p>

This means that the Fund is not subject to limits under the 1940 Act as to the proportion of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer. As a non-diversified investment company, the Fund may therefore invest its assets in securities of a smaller number of issuers, and, as a result, would be subject to greater risk with respect to its portfolio securities. Although the Fund must comply with certain diversification requirements in order to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Code, the Fund may be more susceptible to any single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than would be the case if it had elected to diversify its holding sufficiently to be classified as a &#147;diversified&#148; management investment company under the 1940 Act.</font></p>

Furthermore, if the Fund borrows to finance share repurchases, interest on such borrowings would reduce the Fund&#146;s net investment income. If the Fund liquidates a portion of its investment portfolio in connection with a share repurchase, such liquidation might be at a time when independent investment judgment would not dictate such action, increasing the Fund&#146;s overall portfolio turnover (and related transaction costs) and making it more difficult for the Fund to achieve its investment objective.</font></p>

In order to continue to meet the requirements of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to minimize its U.S. federal income tax liability, it is the Fund&#146;s policy to distribute substantially all of its net income and capital gains, if any, to shareholders. To the extent that the Fund has earnings available for distribution, its distributions in the hands of shareholders may be treated as ordinary dividend income, although certain distributions may be reported by the Fund as capital gain distributions, which would be treated as long-term capital gain, or qualified dividend income, which in the case of individuals may be eligible for long-term capital gain tax rates if certain holding period rules&nbsp;apply. Dividends and capital gains distributions paid by the Fund are not expected to qualify for the corporate dividends- received deduction. Distributions in excess of the Fund&#146;s current and accumulated earnings and profits will first reduce a shareholder&#146;s basis in his shares and, after the shareholder&#146;s basis is reduced to zero, will constitute capital gains to the shareholder who holds his shares as capital assets. Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code, foreign income taxes withheld from distributions or otherwise paid by the Fund may be creditable or deductible by U.S. shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, if the Fund is eligible to and makes an election to treat the shareholders as having paid those taxes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No assurance can be given that the Fund will be eligible to make this election each year, but it intends to do so if it is eligible. If the election is made, the foreign taxes paid by the Fund will be includable in the U.S. federal taxable income of shareholders. Non-U.S. investors may not be able to credit or deduct the foreign taxes, but they may be deemed to have additional income from the Fund equal to their share of the foreign taxes paid by the Fund, subject to U.S. withholding tax. Investors should review carefully the information discussed under the heading &#147;Taxation&#148; and should discuss with their tax advisers the specific tax consequences of investing in the Fund.</font></p>

The bylaws provide for a staggered election of the Fund&#146;s Directors, who are divided into three classes, each having a term of three years and until their successors are duly elected and qualify, or, when filling a vacancy, for the unexpired portion of such term and until their successors are duly elected and qualify. Thus, only Directors in a single class may be changed in any one year and it would require two years to change a majority of the Board of Directors. This system of electing Directors may be regarded as &#147;anti-takeover&#148; because it makes it more difficult for Fund shareholders to change a majority of the Fund&#146;s Directors and, thus, has the effect of maintaining continuity of management. Other bylaw provisions that may be regarded as &#147;anti-takeover:&#148; (a)&nbsp;provide specific requirements for shareholder-requested special meetings; (b)&nbsp;require that shareholders who wish to propose a nominee for Director or have shareholders vote on other proposals satisfy certain advance written notice and information requirements; (c)&nbsp;establish Director qualifications; (d)&nbsp;establish supermajority Board vote requirements for certain actions, including mergers, dissolution, election of officers, officer and Director compensation, and the amendment of the Director term and qualification requirements and the director quorum and voting requirements; (e)&nbsp;establish restrictive approval requirements for an investment advisory agreement, a sub-advisory agreement or a management agreement between the Fund and an affiliate of a disinterested director then serving on the Board or who served on the Board in the two years prior to approval of such agreement; and (f)&nbsp;subject to such conditions as provided in the bylaws, reserve to the Board the power to adopt, alter, or repeal the bylaws or any provision of the bylaws.</font></p>

The Fund also bears the risk of loss on the investment of cash collateral. There is also the risk that, in the event of default by the borrower, the collateral might not be sufficient to cover any losses incurred by the Fund. There can be no assurance that the return to the Fund from a particular loan, or from its loans overall, will exceed the related costs and any related losses.</font></p>

Because the market for unlisted securities is not liquid, it may be difficult for the Fund to sell these securities timely and at a desirable price. If not listed, such securities could nonetheless be resold in privately negotiated transactions, although the price may be lower and the time to dispose of the security may take considerably longer than for listed securities and the sale price may be lower than the price paid by the Fund. Unlisted securities are not subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements of Australian law applicable to listed securities.</font></p>

The Board has not yet exercised this authority and has no current intention of exercising this authority. The following is a description of the risks involved if the Fund were to issue preferred shares.</font></p>

It is expected that the initial dividend rate or rates that would be paid on any class or series of preferred shares would be determined at the time of issuance and would depend on various factors, including market conditions prevailing at the time. If the investment performance of the capital represented by the preferred shares fails to cover the dividends payable thereon, the total return on the Fund&#146;s common stock would be less or, in the case of negative returns, would result in higher negative returns to a greater extent than would otherwise be the case. Negative performance of the invested capital would also reduce the Fund&#146;s net asset value. The requirement to pay dividends on the preferred stock in full before any dividends may be paid on the common stock means that dividends on the common stock from earnings may be reduced or eliminated.</font></p>

The voting rights of the holders of the current outstanding common stock would be limited by the issuance of any preferred shares because the holders of any preferred shares would have the following class voting rights. Pursuant to current applicable law, holders of preferred shares, voting as a separate class, would be entitled to elect two of the Fund&#146;s Directors (the remaining Directors would be elected by holders of the Fund&#146;s common stock.) Additionally, if dividends on preferred shares were unpaid in an amount equal to two years&#146; dividends, holders of such preferred shares, voting as a separate class and subject to any prior rights of any other outstanding class of senior securities, would be entitled to elect a majority of the Fund&#146;s Directors and to continue to be so represented until all dividends in arrears have been paid or otherwise provided for. Approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding preferred shares, voting as a separate class, would also be required for a plan of reorganization that would adversely affect their shares, for changes in fundamental investment restrictions, for a change to an open-end classification, or for a proposal for the Fund to cease to be an investment company.</font></p>

The Fund would not be permitted to pay any dividend (except a dividend paid in common stock) or distribution, or to purchase its common stock, unless the asset coverage test is met at the time of declaring the dividend or distribution, or purchasing the stock, after deducting the amount of the dividend, distribution or stock purchase price, as applicable.</font></p>

Holders of preferred shares might have interests that differ from holders of common stock, and there can be no assurance that holders of preferred shares would vote to approve transactions approved by holders of the common stock. The flexibility to issue preferred shares as well as common stock could enhance the Board of Directors&#146; ability to negotiate on behalf of the shareholders in a takeover, but might also render more difficult, or discourage, a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control by the holder of a large block of the Fund&#146;s securities or the removal of incumbent management. The issuance of preferred shares would involve costs (underwriting commissions, offering expenses, rating agency expenses, legal fees,&nbsp;etc.) that would be borne by the holders of common stock. See also &#147;Risks of Borrowing and Leverage to Holders of Common Stock,&#148; below.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Risks of Borrowing and Leverage to Holders of Common Stock. </font></i></b><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fund&#146;s fundamental investment policies permit it to borrow to the extent permitted, or not prohibited, by the 1940 Act and related rules&nbsp;and regulatory interpretations. The Board has not yet exercised this authority and has no current intention of exercising this authority. Borrowing is a form of leverage, as is the issuance of preferred stock. Certain risks of leverage are discussed under &#147;Risks of Issuance of Preferred Shares&#148; above. Borrowing, either by the issuance of debt obligations or through loans from banks or private sources, would involve interest and other costs to the Fund. If the return to the Fund from investments made with proceeds of a borrowing does not exceed the interest and costs of the borrowing, such costs could reduce the return to the holders of common stock. Moreover, leveraging would generally exaggerate the positive and negative effects of market, interest rate and currency fluctuations on the net asset value and market value of the Fund&#146;s common stock, as well as on distributions to common stockholders. By increasing the Fund&#146;s invested assets, and thus its market exposure, leveraging would increase the volatility of both the net asset value and, consequently, the market value of the Fund&#146;s common stock. Any decline in the value of the Fund&#146;s investments would be borne entirely by the holders of its common stock. Thus, although leveraging may enhance benefits to holders of common stock in a rising market environment, a market downturn can be particularly disadvantageous to holders of common stock of a leveraged fund. Because the Fund invests primarily in securities that are not U.S. dollar-denominated and because it pays dividends and other distributions in U.S. dollars, any leveraging or the issuance of debt securities that also pay interest in U.S. dollars would exaggerate the effects of currency fluctuations on the prices of, and distributions on, the Fund&#146;s common stock. Moreover, a decline in the value of the Fund&#146;s assets, and thus its asset coverage for any senior securities, could prevent the Fund from paying dividends or distributions on its common stock, which could, in turn, jeopardize the Fund&#146;s qualification as a regulated investment company under the Code and/or subject the Fund to income and excise taxes and/or force the Fund to sell portfolio securities at a time or price that is not favorable.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Borrowings by the Fund generally require asset coverage of 300%. The Fund would be prohibited from declaring a dividend (other than a dividend payable in stock of the Fund) or distribution on any class of its stock, and from purchasing Fund stock, unless this asset coverage requirement is met at the time such dividend or distribution is declared, or stock is purchased, after deducting the amount of such dividend, distribution or stock purchase price, as applicable. However, the Fund would be permitted to pay dividends on any preferred stock if, at the time of declaring the dividend, the Fund has asset coverage of at least 200% for its borrowings, after deducting the amount of the dividend. Holders of senior securities representing indebtedness would have the right to elect a majority of the Fund&#146;s directors if the Fund failed to have asset coverage for its debt of at least 100% on the last business day of each of twelve consecutive calendar months. This right would continue until such asset coverage was 110% or more on the last business day of each of three consecutive calendar months. An event of default would be deemed to have occurred if the Fund failed</font></p>

None of the Directors or officers has authorized an agent for service of process in the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for U.S. investors to effect service of process upon such Directors and officers within the United States or to effectively enforce judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liabilities of the Directors or officers under the federal securities laws of the United States.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Board of Directors has implemented a managed distribution policy of paying quarterly distributions at an annual rate, set once a year, that is a percentage of the rolling average of the Fund&#146;s prior four quarter-end net asset values. The current rolling distribution rate is 10%. This policy is subject to regular review by the Fund&#146;s Board of Directors. The distributions are made from current income, supplemented by realized capital gains and, to the extent necessary, paid-in capital. Persons who purchase Shares in an offering will be entitled to any regular quarterly distributions the record date for which occurs after such Shares are purchased. For the fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2013, the Fund made distributions in the amount of $1.01 per Share, of which 33% represented net investment income, 43% represented long-term capital gains and 24% represented return of capital. If the Fund&#146;s distributions were to consist of a large amount of return of capital, it would result in the deterioration of the Fund&#146;s assets.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If the Fund&#146;s assets do not generate sufficient income and net long-term capital gains, the Fund may be required to liquidate a portion of its portfolio to fund these distributions, and therefore, these payments may represent a reduction of a shareholder&#146;s principal investment. Distributions in excess of the Fund&#146;s current and accumulated earnings and profits will first reduce a shareholder&#146;s basis in his shares (thereby increasing any realized gain or decreasing realized loss upon ultimate disposition of the shareholder&#146;s shares, possibly increasing such shareholder&#146;s income tax liability at such time) and, after the shareholder&#146;s basis is reduced to zero, will constitute capital gains to a shareholder who holds his shares as capital assets. There can be no assurance that the current rolling distribution rate will be maintained in the future. The Board of Directors may determine not to maintain the managed distribution rate at its current level, and it is possible, depending on market conditions, that it may determine to abandon the managed distribution policy altogether.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In March&nbsp;2010, the Fund obtained an order under section 6(c)&nbsp;of the 1940 Act granting an exemption from section 19(b)&nbsp;and rule&nbsp;19b-1 under the 1940 Act, permitting the Fund to make periodic distributions of long-term capital gains with respect to its outstanding common stock as frequently as monthly in any one taxable year, subject to certain conditions. The order superseded a prior order that permitted the Fund to make up to four distributions of net long-term capital gains in any one taxable year.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">It is the Fund&#146;s policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable net income and capital gains, if any, to shareholders. On an annual basis, the Fund intends to distribute its net realized capital gains, if any, by way of a final distribution to be declared during the calendar quarter ending December&nbsp;31. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Income distributions and capital and currency gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations (see &#147;Taxation&#148;) that may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currencies.</font></p>

Properly reported distributions of long-term capital gains, if any, earned by the Fund are taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gains, regardless of how long shareholders have held their shares. Long-term capital gain is taxed at 15% for individuals with incomes below $400,000 ($450,000 if married filing jointly), 20% for individuals with any income above those amounts and 0% for individuals at certain lower income levels. The above income thresholds are adjusted annually for inflation. Distributions in excess of the Fund&#146;s current and accumulated earnings and profits will first reduce a shareholder&#146;s basis in his shares and, after the shareholder&#146;s basis is reduced to zero, will constitute capital gains to the shareholder who holds his shares as capital assets.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">No portion of the dividends paid by the Fund is expected to be eligible for the dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A portion of the dividends received from the Fund by an individual shareholder may be treated as &#147;qualified dividend income&#148; which is taxable to individuals at the same rates that are applicable to long-term capital gains. A Fund distribution will be treated as qualified dividend income to the extent that the Fund receives dividend income from taxable domestic corporations and certain qualified foreign corporations (including, generally, Australian corporations), provided that certain holding period and other requirements are met by the Fund and the shareholder. Fund distributions generally will not qualify as qualified dividend income to the extent attributable to interest, capital gains, real estate investment trust distributions and, in many cases, distributions from non-U.S. corporations.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Fund distributions are taxable to shareholders in the same manner whether received in cash or reinvested in additional Fund shares.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Fund distributions may also subject shareholders to alternative minimum tax liability. Because of the complexity of the alternative minimum tax rules, shareholders should consult their tax advisers as to their applicability to a Fund investment.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A distribution will be treated as paid to shareholders on December&nbsp;31 of the current calendar year if it is declared by the Fund in October, November&nbsp;or December&nbsp;with a record date in such a month and paid by the Fund during January&nbsp;of the following calendar year. Such distributions will be taxable to shareholders in the calendar year in which the distributions are declared, rather than the calendar year in which distributions are received.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Each year, the Fund will notify shareholders of the tax status of dividends and other distributions.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A shareholder who invests through a tax-deferred account, such as a retirement plan, generally will not pay tax on Fund dividends or other taxable distributions until they are distributed from the account.

No assurance can be given that the Fund will be eligible to make this election each year, but it intends to do so if it is eligible. If the election is made, the foreign withholding taxes paid by the Fund will be includable in the U.S. federal taxable income of shareholders. Non-U.S. investors may not be able to credit or deduct the foreign taxes, but they may be deemed to have additional income from the Fund, equal to their share of the foreign taxes paid by the Fund, subject to U.S. withholding tax.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fund may be required to withhold at a 28% rate U.S. federal income tax on all taxable distributions payable to a non-exempt shareholder if the shareholder fails to provide the Fund with such shareholder&#146;s correct taxpayer identification number or to make required certifications, or if the shareholder has been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that such shareholder is subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld may be credited against a shareholder&#146;s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fund&#146;s charter and bylaws contain certain provisions, described below, that may be regarded as &#147;anti-takeover&#148; provisions and that may deprive shareholders of certain opportunities to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices. The following is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fund&#146;s charter and bylaws, and to the provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law.</font></p>

However, a Maryland corporation may provide in its charter for approval of these matters by a lesser percentage, but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. The Fund&#146;s charter generally provides for approval of charter amendments by the shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. However, the Fund&#146;s charter does not contain a provision reducing the supermajority vote of the shareholders required to approve a dissolution, merger, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or a share exchange.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Fund, by supplement to its charter, has elected to be subject to certain provisions of Maryland law that make it more difficult for challengers to gain control of the Board. Articles Supplementary approved by the Board of Directors in 2000 subject the Fund to certain provisions of Subtitle 8 of the Maryland General Corporation Law with respect to unsolicited takeovers. These provisions: (i)&nbsp;provide that the shareholders of the Fund may remove any Director by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast by the shareholders generally in the election of Directors (and since the Fund&#146;s directors have been divided into classes, a director may not be removed without cause), (ii)&nbsp;require that the number of Directors of the Fund shall be fixed only by the vote of the Board of Directors, (iii)&nbsp;provide that a vacancy on the Board of Directors due to an increase in the size of the Board or the death, resignation or removal of a Director, may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the majority of the remaining Directors in office, even if the remaining Directors do not constitute a quorum, and (iv)&nbsp;provide that the Secretary of the Fund may call a shareholder-requested special meeting only on the written request of the stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all votes entitled to be cast at the meeting. The provisions of the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act do not apply to any shares of stock of the Fund, now or hereafter outstanding, and all such shares and the voting rights thereof shall be exempt from the provisions of the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act.</font></p>

Directors who served in such capacity as of January&nbsp;16, 2003, the initial date of adoption of the qualifications for Fund Directors are exempted from these requirements (except compliance with the Fund&#146;s conflict of interest policy) because they had become qualified through past experience as Directors of the Fund.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We may sell our Shares directly to, and solicit offers from, institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act of 1933 (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;) for any resales of the securities. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. We may use electronic media, including the Internet, to sell offered securities directly.</font></p>

Underwriters may sell our Shares to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of our Shares may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions they receive from us and any profit realized by them on the resale of our Shares may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Any such underwriter or agent will be identified and any such compensation received from us will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The maximum amount of compensation to be received by any Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (&#147;FINRA&#148;) member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed eight percent for the sale of any securities being offered pursuant to Rule&nbsp;415 under the Securities Act. We will not pay any compensation to any underwriter or agent in the form of warrants, options, consulting or structuring fees or similar arrangements. In connection with any rights offering to existing shareholders, we may enter into a standby underwriting arrangement with one or more underwriters pursuant to which the underwriter(s)&nbsp;will purchase Shares remaining unsubscribed after the rights offering.</font></p>

Institutions with which such contacts may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and others, but in all cases such institutions must be approved by us. The obligation of any purchaser under any such contract will be subject to the condition that the purchase of the Shares shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to which such purchaser is subject. The underwriters and such other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of such contracts. Such contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, and the Prospectus Supplement will set forth the commission payable for solicitation of such contracts.</font></p>

Such allocations of securities for Internet distributions will be made on the same basis as other allocations. In addition, securities may be sold by the underwriters to securities dealers who resell securities to online brokerage account holders.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Following the 1990-91 recession, economic activity accelerated with strong growth in private consumption and housing investment. Concern about the possible inflation consequences of strong growth prompted the Reserve Bank of Australia (&#147;RBA&#148;) to raise interest rates in the second half of 1994. The tightening in monetary policy saw growth return to more sustainable levels. Annual GDP growth peaked at 6.2% in the September&nbsp;quarter of 1994 and slowed to an annual rate of 2.8% by the March&nbsp;quarter of 1997. Weaker economic growth during 1996 and early 1997, combined with low inflation, encouraged the RBA to lower cash rates (the rate charged on overnight loans between financial intermediaries operating in the Australian money market), which promoted a reacceleration of economic growth driven mostly by business investment spending and residential real estate activity. Rising inflation once again saw the RBA increase rates in early 2000, but this was quickly followed by rate cuts in 2001 due to the dramatic slowdown in domestic and global growth. The easy monetary settings fostered strong domestic growth fueled by consumption and housing activity. This allowed the domestic economy to grow at an average rate of 3.7% over 2002-2003, a period when global economic growth was anemic. The robust growth in consumer credit posed a risk for longer term economic growth and the RBA recommenced tightening in November&nbsp;2003 to counter this perceived risk. As such, economic growth eased back to its long run average of 3.2% over 2004. From 2004, robust global demand for resources saw business investment replace consumption and housing as the economy&#146;s main engine of growth. The rising prices for minerals and resources resulted in a significant boost to the terms of trade, adding to the growth impetus from solid business investment. With the economic expansion extending into 2007, the economy had for some time operated near full capacity resulting in heightened inflationary pressures. As such the RBA continued on a protracted tightening cycle from 2003 to August&nbsp;2008 with cash rates peaking at 7.25%. After an extended period of strong growth, the pace of economic activity slowed noticeably in 2008. Retail sales were weak with consumer sentiment falling and conditions in the housing market softening. The escalation of pressures in the international markets was reflected in Australian financial markets, although generally to a lesser extent. Beginning in September&nbsp;2008 the RBA began easing cash rates as the strains in the global economy saw subdued consumer demand and slowing of overall economic growth. This easing cycle continued through April&nbsp;2009 with cash rates bottoming at 3.0%. In Australia, the economic downturn was relatively mild, and the economy entered a period of gradual recovery. With the risk of serious economic contraction in Australia having passed the RBA began raising cash rates by 25 basis points in each of 3 successive months to 3.75% as of December&nbsp;1, 2009. After a brief pause the RBA again raised cash rates by 25 basis points in each of three successive months to 4.50% as of May&nbsp;5, 2010. Effective November&nbsp;3, 2010, the RBA again raised cash rates by 25 basis points to 4.75% noting high terms of trade and the risk of inflation rising over the medium term. Due to Australia&#146;s relative low rate of exports to European countries and the small amount of European sovereign bonds held by Australia, Australia was relatively insulated from the effects of the growing insolvency of certain European countries in 2011. However, Australia was not totally immune from this European debt crisis, as falling commodities prices and slowing domestic consumer demand prompted the RBA to lower the cash rate from 4.75% to 4.50% on November&nbsp;2, 2011. Since then, the RBA began progressively lowering the cash rate in .25% increments over a period of months, eventually settling to 2.75% as of May&nbsp;8, 2013.&#160; The RBA further cut the cash rate to 2.5% at the August&nbsp;6, 2013 meeting, citing current exchange rates and the below trend pace of economic growth. As of the December&nbsp;3, 2013 meeting, the RBA maintained a 2.5% cash rate.&#160; Australian GDP grew a seasonally adjusted 2.3% over the twelve months ending August&nbsp;31, 2013. In the case of the U.S. and Europe, cash rates are maintained at 0.25% and 0.25%, respectively, the lows since the economic downturn began in mid-2007.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For the past several years, the RBA has adopted a target for the underlying CPI inflation rate of 2-3% (averaged over a number of years).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">With Australian cash rates currently the highest in the G12 countries (Belgium, the Netherlands, Canada, France, Germany,&nbsp;Italy, Japan, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States), the Australian dollar has benefited from its &#147;high yielding currency&#148; status. The Australian dollar fluctuated from an exchange rate of US$1 = A$1.3617 on December&nbsp;31, 2005 to an exchange rate of US$1 = A$1.4232 on December&nbsp;31, 2008 in the wake of the difficult global economic environment. Over 2009-2011, the Australian dollar gained against the U.S. dollar in part because of strong mining operations and commodities prices. The Australian dollar eventually reached parity against the U.S. dollar in December&nbsp;2010, and finished the calendar year with an exchange rate of US$1 = A$0.9840 on December&nbsp;31, 2010. In 2011, the Australian dollar gained significantly over the U.S. dollar, peaking at an all-time high of US$1 to A$0.9046 on July&nbsp;28, 2011, before closing at US$1 to A$0.9846 on December&nbsp;30, 2011. The Australian dollar fluctuated during 2012 before finishing December&nbsp;31, 2012 with an exchange rate of US$1 to A$0.9630. However, on the back of the RBA cash rate cut of .25% from 3.00% to 2.75% on May&nbsp;8, 2013, the parity reversed on May&nbsp;13, 2013, with a closing exchange rate of US$ 1 to A$1.004.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Australian Stock Exchange Limited (&#147;ASX&#148;) was formed in 1987 through the amalgamation of six independent stock exchanges that formerly operated in the State capital cities. Each of those exchanges had a history of share trading dating back to the 19th century.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">ASX was originally a mutual organization of stockbrokers, like its predecessor State stock exchanges. However, in 1996, its members decided to demutualize and become a listed company, which required legislation of the Australian parliament. The change of status took place on October&nbsp;13, 1998, and the following day ASX shares were listed for trading on ASX&#146;s own market. On July&nbsp;25, 2006 the ASX merged with SFE Corporation Limited, the holding company of the Sydney Futures Exchange and related businesses. Effective December&nbsp;5, 2006 the Australian Stock Exchange Limited changed its name to ASX Limited and the group operates under the brand &#147;Australian Securities Exchange&#148;.</font></p>

Australian corporations and Government entities also issue Australian dollar-denominated bonds and notes in the Euromarket.</font></p>

Trading in Eurobonds also takes place off the European stock exchanges. Certain major commercial banks, stockbrokers and other financial institutions have been designated by the RBA as reporting bond dealers through which the RBA usually conducts transactions in Commonwealth Government securities with maturities of more than one year. In addition, commercial banks and investment banking institutions operate an unofficial secondary market in the debt securities of corporations and Government entities.</font></p>

These instruments include notes and bills from Government entities, bank and commercial bills, promissory notes, and certificates of deposit. Short-term non-marketable debt instruments include deposits with banks or merchant banks on a fixed- term basis, varying from 24 hours to 365 days. These securities are traded by commercial banks and investment banking institutions on an unofficial secondary market.</font></p>
