For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at a Meeting, withheld votes and broker 'non-votes' (that is, proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote shares on a particular Proposal with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power) will be treated as shares that are present at the Meeting.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="font-size:10pt;">With regard to Proposal 1 for FCO, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast of common stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present is necessary for the election of a common share Director, provided that, for the Fund, if the number of nominees for Director, as determined by the Secretary of the Fund, exceeds the number of Directors to be elected, the common share Directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares of common stock. Under a plurality vote, the nominees who receive the highest number of votes up to the number of Directors to be elected will be elected even if they receive less than a majority of the votes cast. With regard to Proposal 1 for IAF, the vote of a plurality of all the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is necessary for the election of a common share Director. Approval of Proposal 2 for FAX will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of preferred stock cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present to elect the preferred share Director, provided that if the number of nominees for preferred share Director, as determined by the Secretary of the Fund, exceeds the number of preferred share Directors to be elected, the preferred share Directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the preferred shares represented virtually or by proxy. With respect to Proposal 3, the vote of a majority of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is required. For purposes of the election of Directors for FAX and FCO, withheld votes and broker 'non-votes' will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote. For purposes of the election of Directors for IAF, withheld votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote, but broker 'non-votes' will be voted "FOR" the Proposal.</font></p>

With respect to clause (ii) above, Independent Directors currently serving on the Boards will be submitted to stockholders for consideration of continuation as a director on an annual basis beginning at the first annual meeting following the end of each such Board member's three-year term in office after the end of such Independent Director's current term.</font></p>

Absent the establishment of a subsequent record date and the giving of notice to the holders of record thereon, the adjourned Meeting must take place not more than 120 days after the record date.</font></p>

Each Board has also considered the contributions that each Director can make to the respective Board on which he or she serves and to the Fund(s). A Director's ability to perform his or her duties effectively may have been attained through the Director'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. Bird, Chief Executive Officer of abrdn and prior Chief Executive Officer of other public companies; Mr. Malone, legal background and public service leadership experience, board experience with other public and private companies, and executive and business consulting experience; Mr. Miles, financial services, investment management and executive experience and board experience with various Australian public and private companies; Mr. Potter, financial services, investment management and merchant banking experience, executive and consulting experience, and board experience with public companies and non-profit organizations; Ms. Ajmera, financial background in fund management; and Mr. 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.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="font-size:10pt;">Each Board believes that the significance of each Director'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'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 ("SEC"), 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>

Each Fund's bylaws provide that the Board to be elected by holders of a Fund's common stock shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, each of which will serve for three years, with one class being elected each year.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="font-size:10pt;">The Boards of FAX and FCO have appointed Mr. Malone, an Independent Director, as Chair. The Board of IAF has appointed Mr. Miles, an Independent Director, as Chair. Upon the retirement of Mr. Miles as a Director of the Board of IAF effective April 28, 2022, the IAF Board has appointed Mr. Malone, an Independent Director, as Chair. The Chair presides at meetings of the Directors, participates in the preparation of the agenda for meetings of the Board, and acts as a liaison between the Directors and management between Board meetings. Except for any duties specified herein, the designation of the Chair does not impose on such Director any duties, obligations or liability that is greater than the duties, obligations or liability imposed on such person as a member of the Board, generally.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="font-size:10pt;">Each Board holds regular quarterly meetings each year to consider and address matters involving the respective Fund. Each Board also may hold special meetings to address matters arising between regular meetings. The Independent Directors also meet outside the presence of management in executive session at least quarterly and have engaged separate, independent legal counsel to assist them in performing their oversight responsibilities.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="font-size:10pt;">Each Board has established a committee structure that includes an Audit and Valuation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (each discussed in more detail below) to 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'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's Committee structure. Each Committee is comprised entirely of Independent Directors. Each Committee member is also "independent" within the meaning of the New York Stock Exchange ("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 </font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="font-size:10pt;">Each Fund's Audit and Valuation Committee, established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the 1934 Act, is responsible for the selection and engagement of the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm (subject to ratification by the Fund's Independent Directors), pre-approves and reviews both the audit and non-audit work of the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm, and reviews compliance of the Fund with regulations of the SEC and the Internal Revenue Service, and other related matters. The members of each Fund's Audit and Valuation Committee are Messrs. P. Gerald Malone, Neville J. Miles, William Potter and Moritz Sell and Ms. Radhika Ajmera.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="font-size:10pt;">Each Board has adopted an Audit and Valuation Committee Charter for its Audit and Valuation Committee, the current copy of which is available on each Fund's respective website at http://aberdeenfax.com, http://www.aberdeenfco.com and http://www.aberdeeniaf.com.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="font-size:10pt;">Each Audit and Valuation Committee oversees the activities of its Fund's Pricing Committee and performs the responsibilities assigned to the Audit and Valuation Committee in the Fund's Valuation and Liquidity Procedures, such as overseeing the implementation of the Valuation and Liquidity Procedures. Each Board has delegated to its Audit and Valuation Committee the responsibility of determining the fair value of its Fund's securities or other assets in situations set forth in the Valuation and Liquidity Procedures.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="font-size:10pt;">Each Fund's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends nominations for membership on the Board and reviews and evaluates the effectiveness of the Board in its role in governing the Fund and overseeing the management of the Fund. It evaluates candidates' qualifications for Board membership and, with respect to nominees for positions as Independent Directors, their independence from the Fund's Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser, as appropriate, and other principal service providers. Each Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee generally meets twice annually to identify and evaluate nominees for director and makes its recommendations to its respective Board at the time of each Board's December meeting. Each Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also periodically reviews director compensation and will recommend any appropriate changes to the Boards as a group. Each Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also reviews and may make recommendations to its respective Board relating to the effectiveness of the Board in carrying out its responsibilities in governing the Fund and overseeing the management of the Fund. Each Board has adopted a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter, a copy of which is on each Fund's respective website at http://aberdeenfax.com, http://www.aberdeenfco.com and http://www.aberdeeniaf.com. The members of each Fund's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Messrs. P. Gerald Malone, Neville J. Miles, William J. Potter and Moritz Sell and Ms. Radhika Ajmera.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="font-size:10pt;">Each Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may take into account a wide variety of factors in considering prospective director candidates, including (but not limited to): (i) availability (including availability to attend to Board business on short notice) and commitment of a candidate to attend meetings and perform his or her responsibilities on the Board; (ii) relevant industry and related experience; (iii) educational background; (iv) reputation; (v) financial expertise; (vi) the candidate's ability, judgment and expertise; (vii) overall diversity of the Board's composition; and (viii) commitment to the representation of the interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Each Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers the effect of any relationships beyond those delineated in the 1940 Act that might impair independence, such as business, financial or family relationships with the Investment Manager or Sub-Adviser or their affiliates, as appropriate.

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="font-size:10pt;">Governance Committee will consider potential director candidates, if any, recommended by its Fund shareholders provided that the proposed candidates: (i) satisfy any minimum qualifications of the Fund for its directors; (ii) are not "interested persons" of the Fund, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act; and (iii) are "independent" as defined in the listing standards of any exchange on which the Fund's shares are listed.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="font-size:10pt;">While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees have not adopted a particular definition of diversity or a particular policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying candidates, when considering a candidate's and a Board's diversity, the Committees generally consider the manner in which each candidate's leadership, independence, interpersonal skills, financial acumen, integrity and professional ethics, educational and professional background, prior director or executive experience, industry knowledge, business judgment and specific experiences or expertise would complement or benefit the Board and, as a whole, contribute to the ability of the Board to oversee the Fund. Each Committee may also consider other factors or attributes as they may determine appropriate in their judgment. Each Committee believes that the significance of each candidate's background, experience, qualifications, attributes or skills must be considered in the context of the Board as a whole.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="font-size:10pt;">Each Fund's bylaws contain provisions regarding minimum qualifications for directors. These include a requirement that, to qualify as a nominee for a directorship, each candidate, at the time of nomination, other than persons who were directors at the time of the adoption of the minimum qualifications, must possess at least the following specific minimum qualifications: (i) a nominee shall have at least five years' experience in any of investment management, economics, public accounting or Australian business; (ii) a nominee shall have a college undergraduate or graduate degree in economics, finance, business administration, accounting or engineering, or a professional degree in law, engineering, or medicine, from an accredited university or college in the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada or New Zealand, or the equivalent degree from an equivalent institution of higher learning in another country; and (iii) a nominee shall not have violated any provision of the U.S. federal or state securities laws, or comparable laws of another country.</font></p>

Shareholders who intend to propose potential director candidates must substantiate compliance with these requirements. Notice of shareholder proposals must be provided to the Fund's Secretary not earlier than the 150<sup>th</sup> day and not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the 120<sup>th</sup> day prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year's proxy statement.

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="font-size:10pt;">The Funds are subject to a number of risks, including, among others, investment, compliance, operational and valuation risks. Risk oversight forms part of each Board's general oversight of the respective Fund and is addressed as part of various Board and Committee activities. Each Board has adopted, and periodically reviews, policies and 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 ASIAL, who carries out each Fund's investment management and business affairs, and also by AAML, as applicable, and other service providers in connection with the services they provide to the Funds. Each of ASIAL 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, ASIAL and AAML, as applicable, and each Fund's other service providers (including the Funds' transfer agent), the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer, and the Funds' independent registered public accounting </font></p>
