in combination with those of the other Directors lead to the conclusion that the Directors possess the requisite experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to serve on their respective Board. Each Board believes that the Directors&#146;
ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them; to interact effectively with AAMAL, AAM Aus and AAML, as applicable, other service providers, counsel and independent auditors; and to exercise effective
business judgment in the performance of their duties, support this conclusion. Each Board has also considered the contributions that each Director can make to the respective Board on which he serves and to the Fund(s). A Director&#146;s ability to
perform his duties effectively may have been attained through the Director&#146;s executive, business, consulting, and/or legal positions; experience from service as a Director of the Fund(s) and other funds/portfolios in the Aberdeen complex, other
investment funds, public companies, or non-profit entities or other organizations; educational background or professional training or practice; and/or other life experiences. In this regard, the following specific experience, qualifications,
attributes and/or skills apply as to each Director in addition to the information set forth in the table above: Mr.&nbsp;Gilbert, Chief Executive Officer and director roles within the Aberdeen complex, board experience with other public companies
and investment trusts; Mr.&nbsp;Young, investment management experience in director and executive roles within the Aberdeen complex and director experience with other investment management companies; Mr.&nbsp;Malone, legal background and public
service leadership experience, board experience with other public and private companies, and executive and business consulting experience; Mr.&nbsp;Miles, financial services, investment management and executive experience and board experience with
various Australian public and private companies; Mr.&nbsp;Potter, financial services, investment management and merchant banking experience, executive and consulting experience, and board experience with public companies and non-profit
organizations; Mr.&nbsp;Sacks, accounting background (chartered accountant in Canada and South Africa), treasury experience in banking organizations, investment management and executive experience; Mr.&nbsp;Sell, director and executive experience at
an investment banking and trading firm and board experience with another closed-end fund outside of the Aberdeen complex; and Mr.&nbsp;Sheehy, executive experience at venture capital and investment banking firms, as well as board experience at
several public and private companies. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Each Board believes that the significance of each Director&#146;s
experience, qualifications, attributes or skills is an individual matter (meaning that experience important for one Director may not have the same value for another) and that these factors are best evaluated at the Board level, with no single
Director, or particular factor, being indicative of Board effectiveness. In its periodic self-assessment of the effectiveness of the Board, each Board considers the complementary individual skills and experience of the individual Directors in the
broader context of the Board&#146;s overall composition so that the Board, as a body, possesses the appropriate (and appropriately diverse) skills and experience to oversee the business of the Fund. References to the qualifications, attributes and
skills of Directors are presented pursuant to disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;), do not constitute holding out a Board or any Director as having any special expertise or experience, and shall not
impose any greater responsibility or liability on any such person or on a Board by reason thereof. </FONT></P>

assist each Board in the oversight and direction of the business affairs of the respective Fund, and from time to time may establish informal ad hoc committees or working groups to review and address the practices of the respective Fund with respect
to specific matters. The Committee system facilitates the timely and efficient consideration of matters by the Directors, and facilitates effective oversight of compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and of each Fund&#146;s activities and
associated risks. The standing Committees currently conduct an annual review of their charters, which includes a review of their responsibilities and operations. Each Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and each Board as a whole also
conduct an annual self-assessment of the performance of the Board, including consideration of the effectiveness of the Board&#146;s Committee structure. Each Committee is comprised entirely of Independent Directors. Each Committee member is also
&#147;independent&#148; within the meaning of the NYSE MKT listing standards. Each Board reviews its structure regularly and believes that its leadership structure, including having a super-majority of Independent Directors, coupled with an
Independent Director as Chairman, is appropriate because it allows the Board to exercise informed and independent judgment over the matters under its purview and it allocates areas of responsibility among the Committees and the full Board in a
manner that enhances efficient and effective oversight. </FONT></P>

procedures designed to address these risks. Different processes, procedures and controls are employed with respect to different types of risks. Day-to-day risk management functions are subsumed within the responsibilities of AAMAL, who carries out
each Fund&#146;s investment management and business affairs, and also by AAM Aus and AAML, as applicable, and other service providers in connection with the services they provide to the Funds. Each of AAMAL, AAM Aus and AAML, as applicable, and
other service providers have their own, independent interest in risk management, and their policies and methods of risk management will depend on their functions and business models. As part of its regular oversight of each Fund, the respective
Board, directly and/or through a Committee, interacts with and reviews reports from, among others, AAMAL, AAM Aus and AAML, as applicable, and each Fund&#146;s other service providers (including the Funds&#146; transfer agent), the Funds&#146; Chief
Compliance Officer, the Funds&#146; independent registered public accounting firm, legal counsel to the Funds, and internal auditors, as appropriate, relating to the operations of the Funds. The Boards also require AAMAL to report to the Boards on
other matters relating to risk management on a regular and as-needed basis. The Boards recognize that it may not be possible to identify all of the risks that may affect the Funds or to develop processes and controls to eliminate or mitigate their
occurrence or effects. Each Board may, at any time and in its discretion, change the manner in which it conducts risk oversight. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Board and

representative of AST, if the Fund has not yet received their vote. Authorization to permit AST to execute proxies may be obtained by telephonic instructions from shareholders of a Fund. Proxies that are obtained telephonically will be recorded in
accordance with procedures that management of each of the Funds believes are reasonably designed to ensure that the identity of the shareholder casting the vote is accurately determined and that the voting instructions of the shareholder are
