a&#xa0;shareholder&#xa0; is returned to the Fund's transfer agent as undeliverable), or a combination of both. If your Fund shares are categorized as unclaimed, your financial advisor or the Fund's transfer agent will
follow the applicable state&#x2019;s statutory requirements to contact you, but if unsuccessful, laws may require that the shares be escheated to the appropriate state. If this happens, you will have to contact the

significantly during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, reaching a new all-time high in the last few weeks of the review period. Performance was driven by encouraging signs that inflation was under control.
Economic growth also remained robust enough to allay recession fears. This was true for the U.S., with Australian equities benefitting from strong U.S. economic data and the start of the U.S. Federal Reserve&#x2019;s
interest rate cutting cycle. Investor sentiment also picked up towards the end of the period under review, with the expectations that the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) would begin policy rate cuts in 2025. This was
alongside cautious optimism over China&#x2019;s stimulus announcement in September 2024.</div>

sensitive to interest rate movements, such as banks and wider&#xa0;financials (capital markets, platforms, etc.), performed well, given that Australia lagged the rest of the world in cutting interest rates. That said,
signs that the RBA was near the end of its policy rate hiking cycle helped the IT and real estate sectors. Real estate stocks gained from resilient property demand, as a sharp rise in post-pandemic immigration and
elevated residential construction costs triggered a housing squeeze. In contrast, the commodity-linked energy sector was the only sector laggard due to falling commodity prices.</div>
<div style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:9.5pt; font-style:Normal; font-weight:Normal; line-height:12.5pt; margin-top:6pt; text-align:justify; text-decoration:none; text-transform:none">The domestic growth outlook
remained mixed, with a strong labor market on the one hand, and signs of weakened consumer sentiment and a cooling economy on the other. The&#xa0;RBA held interest rates at 4.35%, citing labor and inflation data as
reasons to warrant keeping interest rates where they were. Core inflation printed at 3.5% year-on-year growth in the third quarter of 2024. Consumers, however, tightened their belts, as evidenced by the decline in
spending in September 2024. If this continues, it would heighten the probability of a rate cut in the first quarter of 2025.</div>

holdings performed well amid a broader rally on easing concerns over the impact of GLP-1 drugs and their impact on healthcare companies. Pro Medicus rose with further contract wins. Resmed, CSL and Cochlear also
performed well. Cochlear announced strong interim results and raised its full-year 2024 earnings guidance thanks to strong sales of implants. Resmed also did well following reduced concerns over the impact of GLP-1
drugs on its sleep apnea solutions, showing strong results with further margin expansion.</div>

holdings in Charter Hall Group and Goodman Group also contributed positively to performance. Property fund manager Charter Hall&#x2019;s share price rose sharply on expectations that transaction activity will pick up
across the commercial property sector. This would improve the outlook for its assets and transaction fees, as the interest-rate environment looks to peak globally. Goodman Group benefitted from rising demand for data
centers, driven by artificial intelligence and the cloud. It also secured 1 gigawatt of power for one site in Japan and is close to starting 100 megawatts of data center projects.</div>

sector, Aristocrat Leisure, known for its electronic gaming machines, casino management systems, free-to-play mobile games, and online real money games, also performed well. This was due to its exceptional results
that reflected its high-quality business model and ability to gain market share. We believe the company is making the right strategic moves by reviewing its casual strategy and role-playing game business. Also, it is
focusing on core competencies that can best make use of its industry-leading slot machine gaming research and development capabilities. iGaming (online gaming products) and further penetration in hotels, casinos and
clubs are the growth drivers. Management of Aristocrat Leisure has also shown good discipline in retracting from businesses that have not worked out and thus has gained the market&#x2019;s trust.</div>

included gold production and exploration company Northern Star Resources (NST), which rallied as geopolitical tensions and central bank demand drove up gold prices. We believe that NST is a strong operator with a
decent track record. The company has differentiated capabilities in terms of its technical team and its highly specialized internal contractor arm, which is highly specialized.</div>

some commodity-linked holdings. Beach Energy was among the key detractors. The oil and gas exploration and production company&#x2019;s Waitsia Gas Project suffered setbacks that pushed back timelines for first gas
production. This added to ongoing productivity issues and challenges in commissioning new facilities. We exited the stock in early September 2024. Pilbara Minerals, meanwhile, posted results that showed
weaker-than-expected price realization, owing to a poor lithium price environment. The Fund still holds Pilbara as it is a high-quality lithium player in a difficult market. Its cash margins remain at healthy
double-digits and management is taking the appropriate steps to defer non-essential projects to preserve balance sheet strength.</div>

Fund continued to invest in companies that we believe&#xa0;would enhance the quality and return of the portfolio. Among the initiations, CAR Group is a leading global auto classifieds business with a dominant position
in its core markets and promising expansion prospects overseas. Hub24 is a specialist platform provider for the domestic wealth management industry and offers application and technology products to the financial
services sector. We also added electronics and appliances retailer JB Hi-fi, which is one of the highest-quality retailers and has the largest footprint in Australia.</div>

addition and is the dominant toll road developer and operator in Australia, with a handful of U.S. assets. We also introduced a new position in ALS, a global testing, inspection, and certification company serving the
life science and commodities sectors. We believe ALS is well-positioned to benefit from the new regulation on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and the increase in mineral exploration spending.</div>

Fund was WiseTech Global, which is a leading developer and provider of software solutions to the logistics execution industry worldwide. Its main product, CargoWise, offers end-to-end logistics solutions, including
customs, transport, warehouse, parcel, and e-commerce services.</div>

its position in Bapcor and Beach Energy given better opportunities elsewhere. We also exited Charter Hall to manage our exposure to interest-rate movements in light of volatile rate expectations and waning conviction
in its acquisition pipeline. Finally, we exited Endeavour Group and Woolworths on declining conviction in the face of increasing regulatory scrutiny.</div>

distribution reflects its current policy to provide shareholders with a relatively stable cash flow per share. This policy did not have a significant impact on the Fund&#x2019;s investment strategy over the reporting
fiscal year. During the 12-month fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, the distributions were comprised of ordinary income, realized gains and a return of capital.</div>

Trump as its next president, and the Republican Party secured control of both Houses of Congress. Asset prices have moved along with a focus on the reflationary aspects of Trump&#x2019;s pre-election pledges and
promises. We expect tax cuts and deregulation, but also higher tariffs. This could mean higher nominal GDP, mainly via inflation, and potentially higher-for-longer interest rates. We continue to monitor the
developments in the U.S. closely.</div>

implications of the Trump win for Australia, we see some companies with notable&#xa0;U.S. exposure that could benefit from potential U.S. domestic tax cuts, such as our holdings in Aristocrat, CAR, James Hardie and
WiseTech.</div>

the&#xa0;RBA has remained resolute in its guidance so far this year. It held the cash rate unchanged at 4.35% in its November 2024 meeting and ruled out a reduction until 2025, with policy guidance more hawkish than
the prior meeting in September 2024. However, with the RBA being one of the last central banks to reduce interest rates, questions are emerging about its ability to maintain its current stance. This is magnified if
the Australian economy shows signs of cooling faster than expected. We are positioning the portfolio to benefit from anticipated potential rate cuts in early 2025, and any faster rate cut narrative would help the
holdings in the Fund&#x2019;s portfolio that are sensitive to interest rate changes.</div>

of living pressures, there are reasons to be more optimistic. The latest&#xa0;Westpac-Melbourne Institute Consumer Survey<sup style="font-size:85%; font-style:Normal; text-transform:none">4</sup> showed strong sentiment, with views on current and future conditions at their best in over two years. Similarly, the National Australia Bank October
Business Survey<sup style="font-size:85%; font-style:Normal; text-transform:none">5</sup> showed higher confidence, with improved conditions around the long-term average consumer confidence level and falling input costs for labor and
materials. Labor conditions were positive in both surveys&#x2014;hiring intentions seem to have stabilized, and unemployment expectations have improved significantly.</div>

the Fund is positioned to benefit from potential rate cuts and an improving economy, with an overweight to the healthcare, consumer discretionary, and real estate sectors. We will continue to opportunistically take
advantage of market movements to invest in quality companies that we believe can thrive when the positive effects become evident, while keeping a mindful eye on valuations. We prefer businesses that we believe have
strong pricing power and defensive advantages, and we favor those with clear growth prospects tied to long-term structural changes.</div>

Fund, Inc. (the &#x201c;Fund&#x201d;) is a non-diversified closed-end management investment company incorporated in Maryland on September 30, 1985. The Fund&#x2019;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 (&#x201c;ASX&#x201d;). Its secondary objective is current income, which is expected
to be derived primarily from dividends and interest on Australian corporate and governmental securities. The Fund normally invests 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 companies tied economically to Australia (each an &#x201c;Australian Company&#x201d;). This 80% investment policy is
a non-fundamental policy of the Fund and may be changed by the Board of Directors of the Fund ("the Board") upon 60 days&#x2019; prior written notice to shareholders. As a fundamental policy, at least 65% of the Fund's
total assets must be invested in companies listed on the ASX. abrdn Asia Limited ("abrdn Asia"), the Fund&#x2019;s investment manager (the &#x201c;Investment Manager&#x201d;), uses the following criteria in determining
if a company is &#x201c;tied economically&#x201d; 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 are derived from Australian sources. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.</div>

securities at current fair value, consistent with regulatory requirements. "Fair value" is defined in the Fund's Valuation and Liquidity Procedures as the price that could be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants without a compulsion to transact at the measurement date, also known as market value. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the&#xa0;Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the Board designated abrdn Asia as the valuation designee ("Valuation Designee") for the Fund to perform the fair value determinations relating to Fund investments for

authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under U.S. GAAP, the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments using a three-level hierarchy that classifies the inputs to valuation techniques
used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy assigns Level 1, the highest level, measurements to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, Level 2 measurements to
valuations based upon other significant observable inputs, including adjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets, and Level 3, the lowest level, measurements to valuations based upon unobservable
inputs that are significant to the valuation. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk
inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable
inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable
inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity&#x2019;s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in
the circumstances. A financial instrument&#x2019;s level within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.</div>

operated with a QBU for U.S. federal income purposes since 1989. The home office of the Fund is designated as the United States and of the QBU is Australia with a functional currency of the Australian dollar. The
securities held within the Fund reside within either the home office of the QBU or the home office depending on certain factors including geographic region of the security. As an example, the majority of the
Fund&#x2019;s Australian securities reside within the Australian QBU. When sold, the Australian dollar denominated securities within the Australian QBU generate capital gain/loss but not currency gain/loss, because the
QBU&#x2019;s functional currency is Australian dollar.</div>

that currency gain/loss is generated when money is repatriated from a QBU to the home office. The currency gain/loss would result from the difference between the current exchange rate and the average exchange rate for
the year during which money was originally contributed to the QBU from the home office. Based on the QBU structure, there may be sizable differences in the currency gain/loss recognized for U.S. federal income tax
purposes and what is reported within the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, the Fund&#x2019;s composition of the distributions to shareholders is calculated based on U.S. federal income tax
requirements whereby currency gain/loss is characterized as income and distributed as such. As of the Fund&#x2019;s fiscal year-end, the calculation of the composition of distributions to shareholders is finalized and
reported in the Fund&#x2019;s annual report to shareholders.</div>

capital structure creates special risks not associated with unleveraged funds having similar investment objectives and policies. The funds borrowed pursuant to the loan facility may constitute a substantial lien and
burden by reason of their prior claim against the income of the Fund and against the net assets of the Fund in liquidation. The Fund is not permitted to declare dividends or other distributions in the event of default
under the loan facility. In the event of a default under the loan facility, the lenders have the right to cause a liquidation of the collateral (i.e., sell portfolio securities and other assets of the Fund) and, if
any such default is not cured, the lenders may be able to control the liquidation as well. A liquidation of the Fund&#x2019;s collateral assets in an event of default, or a voluntary paydown of the loan facility in
order to avoid an event of default, would typically involve administrative expenses and sometimes penalties. Additionally, such liquidations often involve selling off of portions of the Fund&#x2019;s assets at
inopportune times which can result in losses when markets are unfavorable. The loan facility has a term of one-year and is not a perpetual form of leverage; there can be no assurance that the loan facility will be
available for renewal on acceptable terms, if at all. Bank loan fees and expenses included in the Statement of Operations include fees for the loan facility as well as commitment fees for any portion of the loan
facility not drawn upon at any time during the period. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, the Fund incurred fees of approximately $24,063.</div>

governing the loan facility includes usual and customary covenants for this type of transaction. These covenants impose on the Fund asset coverage requirements, Fund composition requirements and limits on certain
investments, such as illiquid investments, which are more stringent than those imposed on the Fund by the 1940 Act. The covenants or guidelines could impede the Investment Manager from fully managing the Fund&#x2019;s
portfolio in accordance with the Fund&#x2019;s investment objective and policies. Furthermore, non-compliance with such covenants or the occurrence of other events could lead to the cancellation of the loan

of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States due to focused investments in a limited number of countries or regions subject to foreign securities or currency risks. The Fund focuses its

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 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 currency in which a security is
denominated against the U.S. dollar will generally result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of the Fund&#x2019;s assets. Such a change may thus decrease the Fund&#x2019;s NAV.</div>

possibility of losses due to currency fluctuations, or to adverse political, economic or diplomatic developments in Australia and New Zealand, including possible increases in taxes. 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&#xa0;Australian market may be higher than in the United States.</div>

A shareholder&#x2019;s ability to claim an offsetting foreign tax credit or deduction in respect of such foreign taxes is subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code, which may result in the shareholder&#x2019;s

If the Fund does not qualify for or chooses not to make such an election, shareholders will not be entitled separately to claim a credit or deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to foreign taxes

rental income, neighborhood values or the appeal of properties to tenants; changes in interest rates and changes in general economic and market conditions; reduced demand for commercial and office space; increased

risk.&#xa0;Certain REITs, like mutual funds, have expenses, including management and administration fees, that are paid by their shareholders. As a result, shareholders will directly bear the expenses of their

provided to the chief operating decision maker (the &#x201c;CODM&#x201d;). ASU 2023-07, among other things, (i) requires a single segment public entity to provide all of the disclosures as required by Topic 280, (ii)
requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to
allocate resources and (iii) provides the ability for a public entity to elect more than one performance measure. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods
within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and retrospective adoption is required for all prior periods</div>

Fund&#x2019;s Morningstar category (the &#x201c;Morningstar Group&#x201d;). In addition, the Board received and reviewed information regarding the Fund&#x2019;s total return on a gross and net basis against the
Fund&#x2019;s benchmark, the impact of foreign currency movements on the Fund&#x2019;s performance and the Fund&#x2019;s share price performance and premium/discount information. The Directors noted that the Fund&#x2019;s
return trailed the average return of funds in its Peer Group and Morningstar Group for the one-year period, but compared favorably for longer time periods. The Board considered management&#x2019;s discussion of the
factors that contributed to differences in performance, including differences in the investment strategies, restrictions, risks and geographic focus of these other funds. The Board took into account information about
and management&#x2019;s discussion of the Fund&#x2019;s discount/premium ranking relative to its Peer Group. Additionally, the Directors considered management&#x2019;s discussion of the factors contributing to
differences in performance, including differences in the investment strategies of each of these other funds and accounts.&#xa0; The Board also considered the Adviser&#x2019;s performance generally, the historical
responsiveness of the Adviser to Director concerns about performance, and the willingness of the Adviser to take steps intended to improve performance. The Board concluded that the Fund&#x2019;s overall performance, in
conjunction with management&#x2019;s explanation of the reasons for underperformance and the actions taken to improve performance, was acceptable.</font></div>

Directors took into account the management fee structure, including that management fees for the Fund were based on the Fund&#x2019;s total managed assets. The Directors also considered information from management
about the fees charged by the Adviser to other clients investing primarily in an asset class similar to that of the Fund. The Board considered the fee comparisons in light of the differences in resources and costs
required to manage the different types of accounts. In evaluating the Fund&#x2019;s management fees, the Board took into account the complexity and quality of the investment management of the Fund.&#xa0; The Board also
took into account management&#x2019;s discussion of the Fund&#x2019;s expenses, including the factors that impacted the Fund&#x2019;s expenses.&#xa0; The Board also reviewed the profitability of the investment management
relationship with the Fund to the Adviser, and received information on the profitability of the Fund&#x2019;s other contractual relationships with the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board determined that the cost of

other things, the Board reviewed the background and experience of the Adviser&#x2019;s senior management personnel and the qualifications, background and responsibilities of the portfolio managers primarily responsible
for the day-to-day portfolio management services for the Fund. The Board also considered the financial condition of the Adviser and the Adviser&#x2019;s ability to provide quality service to the Fund. Management

Adviser&#x2019;s risk management processes. The Board also considered information regarding the Adviser&#x2019;s compliance with applicable laws and Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory inquiries or
audits of the Fund and/or the Adviser. In determining that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund were adequate and appropriate, the Directors took into account their knowledge of

Exchange Limited (&#x201c;ASX&#x201d;). Its secondary objective is current income, which is expected to be derived primarily from dividends and interest on Australian corporate and governmental securities.</font></div>

Strategy.<font style="font-style:Normal"> 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&#x2019;s total assets must be invested in companies listed on the ASX. Australian Companies are companies that are tied
economically to Australia. The Fund&#x2019;s investment manager, abrdn Asia Limited ("abrdn Asia" or the "Investment Manager"), the Fund&#x2019;s investment manager, uses the following criteria in determining if a
company is &#x201c;tied economically&#x201d; 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</font></div>

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 &#x201c;tied economically&#x201d; to Australia, the Investment Manager will consider certain of these criteria separately while others will only be considered in combination with other
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&#x2019;s headquarters,&#xa0; 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&#x2019;s 80% investment policy
is a non-fundamental policy of the Fund and may be changed by the Board of Directors upon 60 days&#x2019; 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&#x2019;s definition of an Australian company under criterion (i) above. However, up to 10% of the value of the
Fund&#x2019;s total assets (at the time of purchase) may be invested in unlisted equity securities. In seeking to achieve the Fund&#x2019;s investment objectives, the Investment Manager invests in quality companies and
is an active, engaged owner. The Investment Manager evaluates every company against quality criteria and build conviction using a team-based approach and peer review process. The quality assessment covers five key
factors: 1) the durability of the business model, 2) the attractiveness of the industry, 3) the strength of financials, 4) the capability of management, and 5) the most material environmental, social and governance
(&#x201c;ESG&#x201d;) factors impacting a company. The Investment Manager seeks to understand what is changing in companies, industries and markets but is not being priced into the market or is being mispriced. Through
fundamental research, supported by a global research presence and proprietary tools, the Investment Manager seeks to identify companies whose quality is not yet fully recognized by the market. The Investment Manager
may sell a security when it perceives that a company's business direction or growth potential has changed or the company's valuations no longer offer attractive relative value.</div>

less. During periods when, in the Investment Manager&#x2019;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;

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 receive from the borrower amounts equivalent to any cash payments of interest, dividends and other distributions with respect to
the loaned securities, although the tax treatment of such payments may differ from the treatment of distributions paid directly by the issuer to the Fund. The Fund also has the option to require non-cash distributions
on the loaned securities to be credited to its account. The terms of the Fund&#x2019;s lending arrangement includes provisions to permit the Fund to vote the loaned securities.</div>

non-diversified, closed-end investment company designed primarily as a long-term investment vehicle and not as a trading tool. The Fund invests primarily in Australian equity securities. An investment in the Fund's
shares may be speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including risks and considerations not typically associated with funds that invest only in U.S. securities. The Fund should not be considered a complete
investment program. Due to the uncertainty in all investments, there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.&#xa0; The value of an investment in the Fund's Common Shares could decline

The value of your investment in
the Fund's Common Shares may vary with the effectiveness of the research and analysis conducted by the Investment Manager and their ability to identify and take advantage of attractive investment opportunities. If the
investment strategies of the Investment Manager do not produce the expected results, the value of your investment could be diminished or even lost entirely, and the Fund could underperform the market or other funds
with similar investment objectives. Additionally, there can be no assurance that all of the personnel of the Investment Manager will continue to be associated with the Investment Manager for any length of time. The
loss of the services of one or more key employees of the Investment Manager could have an adverse impact on the Fund's ability to realize its investment objective</font></div>

Risk.<font style="font-style:Normal; font-weight:Normal"> An investment in the Fund's shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest. Your investment in shares
represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of the
securities in which the Fund invests will affect the value of the shares. Your shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund
dividends and distributions.</font></div>

Risk.<font style="font-style:Normal; font-weight:Normal"> Because the Fund's investments are primarily in equity securities of Australian Companies, the Fund is particularly vulnerable to loss in the event of adverse political,

securities in which the Fund invests. The Fund is therefore exposed to the risks that could affect the economies of its Asian, Australasian, European and American trading partners, such as fluctuations in commodities
markets, exchange rates, high unemployment, trade regulations and deficits, among others. Also, Australia is located in a part of the world that has historically been prone to natural disasters such as drought and is

securities that are traded on foreign markets, including Australian and New Zealand securities, are subject to risks of loss that are different from the risks of investing in U.S. securities. These include the
possibility of losses due to currency fluctuations, or to adverse political, economic or diplomatic developments in Australia and New Zealand, including possible increases in taxes. 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 regulations 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.</div>

non-U.S. investing may reduce the amount the Fund can earn on its investments and typically results in a higher operating expense ratio than for investment companies that invest only in the United States. Regulatory
oversight of the Australian securities market may differ from that of U.S. markets. There also may be difficulty in invoking legal protections across borders.</div>

Fluctuations.<font style="font-style:Normal; font-weight:Normal"> 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 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 currency in which a security is denominated against the U.S. dollar will generally result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of the Fund's assets. Such a change may thus
decrease the Fund's net asset value.</font></div>

the Fund'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'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

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

constitute a substantial lien and burden by reason of their prior claim against the income of the Fund and against the net assets of the Fund in liquidation. The Fund is limited in its ability to declare dividends or
other distributions in the event of default under the loan facility. In the event of default under the loan facility, the lender has the right to cause a liquidation of the collateral (i.e., sell portfolio securities
and other assets of the Fund) and, if any such default is not cured, the lender may be able to control the liquidation as well. The loan facility has a term of 364 days and is not a perpetual form of leverage; there
can be no assurance that the loan facility will be available for renewal on acceptable terms, if at all.</font></div>

that group represents 20% or more of the S&amp;P/ASX 200. 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

impacted by the volatility of commodity prices, changes in exchange rates, social and political unrest, depletion of resources, decreases in demand, overproduction, litigation and changes in government regulations,
among other factors. Significant exposure to the healthcare sector may make the Fund susceptible to adverse regulatory, economic or political factors or trends relating to the healthcare industry. Healthcare companies
are generally characterized by limited product focus, rapidly changing technology, extensive government regulation and intense competition. The complex nature of the technologies involved can lead to patent disputes,
including litigation, that may be costly and that could result in a company losing an exclusive right to a patent. Additionally, certain healthcare companies may be exposed to potential product liability risks that

trading and tariff arrangements, war, terrorism, natural disasters and other circumstances in one country or region could have profound impacts on global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the Fund
invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments may be negatively affected. In addition, any spread of an
infectious illness, public health threat or similar issue could reduce consumer demand or economic output, result in market closures, travel restrictions or quarantines, and generally have a significant impact on the

Many non-governmental issuers, and even certain governments, have defaulted on, or been forced
to restructure, their debts; many other issuers have faced difficulties obtaining credit or refinancing existing obligations; financial institutions have in many cases required government or central bank support, have
needed to raise capital, and/or have been impaired in their ability to extend credit; and financial markets in Europe and elsewhere have experienced extreme volatility and declines in asset values and liquidity. These
difficulties may continue, worsen or spread within and outside Europe. Responses to the financial problems by European governments, central banks and others, including austerity measures and reforms, may not work, may
result in social unrest and may limit future growth and economic recovery or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and others of their debt could have additional adverse
effects on economies, financial markets and asset valuations around the world.</font></div>

transfer agents) to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality. In addition, work-from-home arrangements by the Fund, the Investment Manager or their service providers could increase all
of the above risks, create additional data and information accessibility concerns, and make the Fund, the Investment Manager or their service providers susceptible to operational disruptions, any of which could
adversely impact their operations. Furthermore, the Fund may be an appealing target for cybersecurity threats such as hackers and malware.</font></div>

This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that net
asset value will decrease. The Fund's shares have frequently traded in the market below net asset value since the commencement of the Fund's operations. The Fund cannot predict whether its shares in the future will
trade at, below or above net asset value. This risk that shares of a closed-end fund might trade at a discount is more significant for investors who wish to sell their shares in a relatively short period of time. For
those investors, realization of gain or loss on their investment is likely to be more dependent upon the existence of a premium or discount than upon portfolio performance.</font></div>

supplemented by realized capital gains and, to the extent necessary, paid-in capital. 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'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 the Fund distribution (or a portion thereof) represents a return of a portion of a shareholder's investment in the
Fund, rather than making a distribution that is funded from the Fund'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's shares, and therefore, may increase a shareholder's tax liability for capital gains upon a sale of shares, even if sold at a loss to the shareholder's original investments. The Fund'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'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></div>

investments, on the one hand, and the investments of the other accounts, on the other. The other accounts may have the same investment objective as the Fund. Therefore, a potential conflict of interest may arise as a
result of the identical investment objectives, whereby the portfolio manager could favor one account over another. However, the Investment Manager believes that these risks are mitigated by the fact that: (i) accounts
with like investment strategies managed by a particular portfolio manager are generally managed in a similar fashion, subject to exceptions to account for particular investment restrictions or policies applicable only
to certain accounts, differences in cash flows and account sizes, and similar factors; and (ii) portfolio manager personal trading is monitored to avoid potential conflicts. In addition, the Investment Manager has
adopted trade allocation procedures that require equitable allocation of trade orders for a particular security among participating accounts.</font></div>

where the Fund will not participate in a transaction that is allocated among other accounts. While these aggregation and allocation policies could have a detrimental effect on the price or amount of the securities
available to the Fund from time to time, it is the opinion of the Investment Manager that the benefits from the policies outweigh any disadvantage that may arise from exposure to simultaneous transactions. The Trust
has adopted policies that are designed to eliminate or minimize conflicts of interest, although there is no guarantee that procedures adopted under such policies will detect each and every situation in which a

Investment Manager may seed proprietary accounts for the purpose of evaluating a new investment strategy that eventually may be available to clients through one or more product structures. Such accounts also may serve
the purpose of establishing a performance record for the strategy. The management by the Investment Manager of accounts with proprietary interests and nonproprietary client accounts may create an incentive to favor
the proprietary accounts in the allocation of investment opportunities, and the timing and aggregation of investments. The Investment Manager's proprietary seed accounts may include long-short strategies, and certain
client strategies may permit short sales. A conflict of interest arises if a security is sold short at the same time as a long position, and continuous short selling in a security may adversely affect the stock price
of the same security held long in client accounts. The Investment Manager have adopted various policies to mitigate these conflicts.</div>

limits the Fund's ability to enter into certain transactions with certain affiliates of the Investment Manager. As a result of these restrictions, the Fund may be prohibited from buying or selling any security
directly from or to any portfolio company of a fund managed by the Investment Manager or one of its affiliates. Nonetheless, the Fund may under certain circumstances purchase any such portfolio company's loans or
securities in the secondary market, which could create a conflict for the Investment Manager between the interests of the Fund and the portfolio company, in that the ability of the Investment Manager to recommend
actions in the best interest of the Fund might be impaired. The 1940 Act also prohibits certain &#x201c;joint&#x201d; transactions with certain of the Fund's affiliates (which could include other abrdn managed Funds),
which could be deemed to include certain types of investments, or restructuring of investments, in the same portfolio company (whether at the same or different times). These limitations may limit the scope of
investment opportunities that would otherwise be available to the Fund. The Board has approved policies and procedures reasonably designed to monitor potential conflicts of interest. The Board will review these
procedures and any conflicts that may arise.</div>

If it so qualifies, it generally will be relieved of U.S. federal
income tax on its investment company taxable income and net capital gains, if any, which it distributes to shareholders in accordance with requirements under the Code. 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'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</font></div>

be eligible for long-term capital gain tax rates if certain holding period rules 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's current and accumulated earnings and profits will first reduce a shareholder's basis in his shares and, after the shareholder'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 discuss with their tax advisers the specific tax consequences of investing in the Fund.</div>

The bylaws provide for a staggered
election of the Fund'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 "anti-takeover" because it makes it more difficult for Fund shareholders to change a majority of the Fund's Directors and, thus, has the effect of maintaining
continuity of management. Other bylaw provisions that may be regarded as "anti-takeover:" (a) provide specific requirements for shareholder-requested special meetings; (b) 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) establish Director qualifications; (d) 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) 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</font></div>

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'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'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>

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' 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'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, etc.) that would be borne by the holders of

to Holders of Common Stock.<font style="font-style:Normal; font-weight:Normal"> The Fund's fundamental investment policies permit it to borrow to the extent permitted, or not prohibited, by the 1940 Act and related rules and regulatory
interpretations. Borrowing involves 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 generally exaggerates the positive and negative effects of market, interest rate and currency fluctuations on the net asset value and
market value of the Fund's common stock, as well as on distributions to common stockholders. By increasing the Fund'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's common stock. Any decline in the value of the Fund'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's common stock. Moreover, a decline in the value of the Fund's assets, and thus its asset coverage for any senior

certified from time to time by the shareholders as representing the total amount registered in such shareholders&#x2019; names and held for the account of beneficial owners that have not elected to receive
distributions in cash. Investors that own shares registered in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee should consult with such nominee as to participation in the Plan through such nominee and may be required to
have their shares registered in their own names in order to participate in the Plan. Please note that the Fund does not issue certificates so all shares will be registered in book entry form. The Plan Agent serves as
agent for the shareholders in administering the Plan. If the Directors of the Fund declare an income dividend or a capital gains distribution payable either in the Fund&#x2019;s common stock or in cash, nonparticipants
in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive common stock, to be issued by the Fund or purchased by the Plan Agent in the open market, as provided below. If the market price per share (plus
expected per share fees) on the valuation date equals or exceeds NAV per share on that date, the Fund will issue new shares to participants at NAV; provided, however, that if the NAV is less than 95% of the market
price on the valuation date, then such shares will be issued at 95% of the market price. The valuation date will be the payable date for such distribution or dividend or, if that date is not a trading day on the NYSE
American, the immediately preceding trading date. If NAV exceeds the market price of Fund shares at such time, or if the Fund should declare an income dividend or capital gains distribution payable only in cash, the
Plan Agent will, as agent for the participants, buy Fund shares in the open market, on the NYSE American or elsewhere, for the participants&#x2019; accounts on, or shortly after, the payment date. If, before the Plan
Agent has completed its purchases, the market price exceeds the NAV of the Fund's share, the average per share purchase price paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the NAV of the Fund&#x2019;s shares, resulting in the
acquisition of fewer shares than if the distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund on the dividend payment date. Because of</div>

of making additional cash payments of a minimum of $50 per investment (by check, one-time online bank debit or recurring automatic monthly ACH debit) to the Plan Agent for investment in the Fund&#x2019;s common stock,
with an annual maximum contribution of $250,000. The Plan Agent will wait up to three business days after receipt of a check or electronic funds transfer to ensure it receives good funds. Following confirmation of
receipt of good funds, the Plan Agent will use all such funds received from participants to purchase Fund shares in the open market on the 25th day of each month or the next trading day if the 25th is not a trading

recurring automatic monthly ACH debits, funds will be withdrawn from his or her U.S. bank account on the 20th of each month or the next business day if the 20th is not a banking business day and invested on the next
investment date. The Plan Agent maintains all shareholder accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmations of all transactions in an account, including information needed by shareholders for personal and tax
records. Shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Agent in the name of the participant, and each shareholder&#x2019;s proxy will include those shares purchased pursuant to the Plan. There
will be no brokerage charges with respect to common shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a per share fee of $0.02 incurred with respect to the Plan Agent&#x2019;s open market purchases
in connection with the reinvestment of dividends, capital gains distributions and voluntary cash payments made by the participant. Per share fees include any applicable brokerage commissions the Plan Agent is required

be the average sale price obtained by Computershare&#x2019;s broker, net of fees, for each batch order and will be sold generally within 2 business days of the request during regular open market hours. Please note that
all written sales requests are always processed by Batch Order. ($10 and $0.12 per share). Market Order sales will sell at the next available trade. The shares are sold real time when they hit the market, however an

    Registrant&#x2019;s Audit Committee (the &#x201c;Committee&#x201d;) has adopted a Charter that provides that the Committee shall
    annually select, retain or terminate, and recommend to the Independent Directors for their ratification, the selection, retention or
    termination, the Registrant&#x2019;s independent auditor and, in connection therewith, to evaluate the terms of the engagement
    (including compensation of the independent auditor) and the qualifications and independence of the independent auditor, including
    whether the independent auditor provides any consulting, auditing or tax services to the Registrant&#x2019;s investment adviser (the
    &#x201c;Adviser&#x201d;) or any sub-adviser, and to receive the independent auditor&#x2019;s specific representations as to their
    independence, delineating all relationships that may affect the independent auditor&#x2019;s independence, including the disclosures
    required by PCAOB Rule&#xa0;3526 or any other applicable auditing standard. PCAOB Rule&#xa0;3526 requires that, at least annually,
    the auditor: (1)&#xa0;disclose to the Committee in writing all relationships between the auditor and its related entities and the
    Registrant and its related entities that in the auditor&#x2019;s professional judgment may reasonably be thought to bear on
    independence; (2)&#xa0;confirm in the letter that, in its professional judgment, it is independent of the Registrant within the
    meaning of the Securities Acts administered by the SEC; and (3)&#xa0;discuss the auditor&#x2019;s independence with the audit
    committee. The Committee is responsible for actively engaging in a dialogue with the independent auditor with respect to any
    disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the independent auditor and for taking, or
    recommending that the full Board take, appropriate action to oversee the independence of the independent auditor. The Committee
    Charter also provides that the Committee shall review in advance, and consider approval of, any and all proposals by Management or
    the Adviser that the Registrant, the Adviser or their affiliated persons, employ the independent auditor to render
    &#x201c;permissible non-audit services&#x201d; to the Registrant and to consider whether such services are consistent with the
    independent auditor&#x2019;s independence. &#x201c;Permissible non-audit services&#x201d; include any professional services, including
    tax services, provided to the Registrant by the independent auditor, other than those provided to the Registrant in connection with
    an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Registrant. Permissible non-audit services may not include:
    (i)&#xa0;bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Registrant;
    (ii)&#xa0;financial information systems design and implementation; (iii)&#xa0;appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or
    contribution-in-kind reports; (iv)&#xa0;actuarial services; (v)&#xa0;internal audit outsourcing services; (vi)&#xa0;management
    functions or human resources; (vii)&#xa0;broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; (viii)&#xa0;legal
    services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and (ix)&#xa0;any other service the PCAOB determines, by regulation, is
    impermissible.&#xa0;&#xa0;Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as:
    (i)&#xa0;the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the Registrant constitutes not more than 5% of
    the total amount of revenues paid by the Registrant to its auditor during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit
    services are provided; (ii)&#xa0;the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Registrant at the time of the
    engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii)&#xa0;such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and
    approved by the Committee or its Delegate(s)&#xa0;prior to the completion of the audit. The Committee may delegate to one or more of
    its members (&#x201c;Delegates&#x201d;) authority to pre-approve permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Registrant. Any
    pre-approval determination of a Delegate shall be presented to the full Committee at its next meeting. Any pre-approval
    determination of a Delegate shall be presented to the full Committee at its next meeting. Pursuant to this authority, the
    Registrant&#x2019;s Committee delegates to the Committee Chair, subject to subsequent ratification by the full Committee, up to a
    maximum amount of $25,000, which includes any professional services, including tax services, provided to the Registrant by its
    independent registered public accounting firm other than those provided to the Registrant in connection with an audit or a review of
    the financial statements of the Registrant.&#xa0;&#xa0;The Committee shall communicate any pre-approval made by it or a Delegate to
    the Adviser, who will ensure that the appropriate disclosure is made in the Registrant&#x2019;s periodic reports required by
    Section&#xa0;30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and other documents as required under the federal securities

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Adviser and its affiliates (collectively referred
to herein as &#x201c;abrdn&#x201d;) serve as investment advisers for multiple clients, including the Registrant and other investment companies
registered under the 1940 Act and private funds (such clients are also referred to below as &#x201c;accounts&#x201d;). The portfolio managers&#x2019;
management of &#x201c;other accounts&#x201d; may give rise to potential conflicts of interest in connection with their management of the
Registrant&#x2019;s investments, on the one hand, and the investments of the other accounts, on the other. The other accounts may have
the same investment objective as the Registrant. Therefore, a potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of the identical investment
objectives, whereby the portfolio manager could favor one account over another. However, the Adviser believes that these risks are mitigated
by the fact that: (i)&#xa0;accounts with like investment strategies managed by a particular portfolio manager are generally managed in
a similar fashion, subject to exceptions to account for particular investment restrictions or policies applicable only to certain accounts,
differences in cash flows and account sizes, and similar factors; and (ii)&#xa0;portfolio manager personal trading is monitored to avoid
potential conflicts. In addition, the Adviser has adopted trade allocation procedures that require equitable allocation of trade orders
for a particular security among participating accounts.</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#xa0;</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In some cases, another account managed by the
same portfolio manager may compensate abrdn based on the performance-based fees with qualified clients. The existence of such a performance-based
fee may create additional conflicts of interest for the portfolio manager in the allocation of management time, resources and investment
opportunities.</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#xa0;</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Another potential conflict could include instances
in which securities considered as investments for the Registrant also may be appropriate for other investment accounts managed by the
Adviser or its affiliates. Whenever decisions are made to buy or sell securities for the Registrant and one or more of the other accounts
simultaneously, the Adviser may aggregate the purchases and sales of the securities and will allocate the securities transactions in a
manner that it believes to be equitable under the circumstances. As a result of the allocations, there may be instances where the Registrant
will not participate in a transaction that is allocated among other accounts. While these aggregation and allocation policies could have
a detrimental effect on the price or amount of the securities available to the Registrant from time to time, it is the opinion of the
Adviser that the benefits from the policies outweigh any disadvantage that may arise from exposure to simultaneous transactions. The Registrant
has adopted policies that are designed to eliminate or minimize conflicts of interest, although there is no guarantee that procedures
adopted under such policies will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.</p>

accounts (including UMA accounts) and discretionary SMA accounts, abrdn Inc. will utilize a third party service provider to deliver model
portfolio recommendations and model changes to the Sponsors. abrdn Inc. seeks to treat clients fairly and equitably over time, by delivering
model changes to our service provider and investment instructions for our other discretionary accounts to our trading desk, simultaneously
or approximately at the same time. The service provider will then deliver the model changes to each Sponsor on a when-traded, randomized
full rotation schedule. All Sponsors will be included in the rotation schedule, including SMA and UMA.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">UMA Sponsors will be responsible for determining
how and whether to implement the model portfolio or model changes and implementation of any client specific investment restrictions. The
Sponsors are solely responsible for determining the suitability of the model portfolio for each model delivery client, executing trades
and seeking best execution for such clients.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">As it relates to SMA accounts, abrdn Inc. will
be responsible for managing the account on the basis of each client&#x2019;s financial situation and objectives, the day to day investment
decisions, best execution, accepting or rejecting client specific investment restrictions and performance. The SMA Sponsors will collect
suitability information and will provide a summary questionnaire for our review and approval or rejection. For dual contract SMAs, abrdn
Inc. will collect a suitability assessment from the client, along with the Sponsor suitability assessment. Our third party service provider
will monitor client specific investment restrictions on a day to day basis. For SMA accounts, model trades will be traded by the Sponsor
or may be executed through a &#x201c;step-out transaction,&#x201d;- or traded away- from the client&#x2019;s Sponsor if doing so is consistent
with abrdn&#x2019;s obligation to obtain best execution. When placing trades through Sponsor Firms (instead of stepping them out), we will
generally aggregate orders where it is possible and in the client&#x2019;s best interests. In the event we are not comfortable that a Sponsor
can obtain best execution for a specific security and trading away is infeasible, we may exclude the security from the model.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Trading costs are not covered by the Wrap Program
fee and may result in additional costs to the client. In some instances, step-out trades are executed without any additional commission,
mark-up, or mark-down, but in many instances, the executing broker-dealer may impose a commission or a mark-up or mark-down on the trade.
Typically, the executing broker will embed the added costs into the price of the trade execution, making it difficult to determine and
disclose the exact added cost to clients. In this instance, these additional trading costs will be reflected in the price received for
the security, not as a separate commission, on trade confirmations or on account statements. In determining best execution for SMA accounts,
abrdn Inc. takes into consideration that the client will not pay additional trading costs or commission if executing with the Sponsor.</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#xa0;</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">While UMA accounts are invested in the same strategies
as and may perform similarly to SMA accounts, there are expected to be performance differences between them. There will be performance
dispersions between UMAs and other types of accounts because abrdn does not have discretion over trading and there may be client specific
restrictions for SMA accounts.</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#xa0;</p>


<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">abrdn may have already commenced trading for its
discretionary client accounts before the model delivery accounts have executed abrdn's recommendations. In this event, trades placed by
the model delivery clients may be subject to price movements, particularly with large orders or where securities are thinly traded, that
may result in model delivery clients receiving less favorable prices than our discretionary clients. abrdn has no discretion over transactions
executed by model delivery clients and is unable to control the market impact of those transactions.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Timing delays or other operational factors associated
with the implementation of trades may result in non-discretionary and model delivery clients receiving materially different prices relative
to other client accounts. In addition, the constitution and weights of stocks within model portfolios may not always be exactly aligned
with similar discretionary accounts. This may create performance dispersions within accounts with the same or similar investment mandate.</p>

indicators that will be applied in considering the overall size of the bonus pool.&#xa0; In line with practices amongst other asset management
companies, individual bonuses are not subject to an absolute cap.&#xa0; However, the aggregate size of the bonus pool is dependent on
the group&#x2019;s overall performance and profitability.&#xa0; Consideration is also given to the levels of bonuses paid in the market.&#xa0;

<p style="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Staff performance is reviewed formally at least
once a year. The review process evaluates the various aspects that the individual has contributed to abrdn, and specifically, in the case
of portfolio managers, to the relevant investment team. Discretionary bonuses are based on client service, asset growth and the performance
of the respective portfolio manager. Overall participation in team meetings, generation of original research ideas and contribution to
presenting the team externally are also evaluated.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">In the calculation of a portfolio management team&#x2019;s
bonus, abrdn takes into consideration investment matters (which include the performance of funds, adherence to the company investment
process, and quality of company meetings) as well as more subjective issues such as team participation and effectiveness at client presentations
through key performance indicator scorecards.&#xa0; To the extent performance is factored in, such performance is not judged against any
specific benchmark and is evaluated over the period of a year - January&#xa0;to December. The pre- or after-tax performance of an individual
account is not considered in the determination of a portfolio manager&#x2019;s discretionary bonus; rather the review process evaluates
the overall performance of the team for all of the accounts the team manages.</p>

of a portfolio manager&#x2019;s compensation, abrdn also recognizes that fund performance can often be driven by factors outside one&#x2019;s
control, such as (irrational) markets, and as such pays attention to the effort by portfolio managers to ensure integrity of our core
process by sticking to disciplines and processes set, regardless of momentum and &#x2018;hot&#x2019; themes.&#xa0; Short-terming is thus
discouraged and trading-oriented managers will thus find it difficult to thrive in the abrdn environment.&#xa0; Additionally, if any of
the aforementioned undue risks were to be taken by a portfolio manager, such trend would be identified via abrdn&#x2019;s dynamic compliance
monitoring system.</p>

    12-month period ended October&#xa0;31 up to 10% of its outstanding shares of common stock outstanding as of October&#xa0;31 of the prior
    year. The Program allows the Fund to purchase, in the open market, its outstanding common shares, with the amount and timing of any repurchase
    determined at the discretion of the Fund's investment adviser. Such purchases may be made opportunistically at certain discounts to NAV
    per share in the reasonable judgment of management based on historical discount levels and current market conditions.</p>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"><B>Overview:</B>&nbsp;A &ldquo;conflict
of interest&rdquo; occurs when a Covered Officer&rsquo;s private interest interferes with the interests of, or service to, the Funds.
For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his or her family, receives improper benefits as
a result of his or her position with the Funds.</P>


<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>


<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Certain conflicts of interest
arise out of the relationship between Covered Officers and each Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the &ldquo;1940 Act&rdquo;) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the &ldquo;Advisers Act&rdquo;).
For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other
property) with the Funds because of their status as &ldquo;affiliated persons&rdquo; of the Funds. Each Fund&rsquo;s Adviser and Sub-adviser
(the &ldquo;adviser(s)&rdquo;) have adopted and implemented respective compliance programs and procedures that are designed to prevent,
or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to repeat or replace these programs
and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code. Each Covered Officer should be sensitive to situations
that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest and should encourage his or her colleagues who provide service
to the Funds, whether directly or indirectly, to do the same.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Although typically not presenting
an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between each Fund
and the investment adviser (and distributor to the Aberdeen open-end funds) of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees.
As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Fund
or the investment adviser or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects
on the investment adviser, distributor and the Funds. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the
contractual relationship between the Funds and the Adviser and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties
as officers of each Fund. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act, such activities
will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Funds&rsquo; Board that the Covered Officers may
also be officers or employees of the Funds.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Other conflicts of interest
are covered by this Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act. The
overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Funds.
A defining question is, &ldquo;What is the long term interest of current shareholders?&rdquo; The following list provides examples of
conflicts of interest under this Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive.</P>

own custom policy as input to our voting decisions. Where our analysts make a voting decision that is different from the recommendations

be a final voting decision instructed through ISS and applied to all funds for which abrdn have been appointed to vote. For funds managed
by a sub-adviser, we may delegate to the sub-adviser the authority to vote proxies; however, the sub-adviser will be required to either
follow our policies and procedures or to demonstrate that their policies and procedures are consistent with ours, or otherwise implemented
in the best interest of clients.</P>

or otherwise not in clients</FONT>&rsquo; <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">best interests. For companies held

vote more fully in clients</FONT>&rsquo; <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">best interests. If voting securities
are part of a securities lending program, we may be unable to</FONT> vote while the securities are on loan. However, we have the ability

<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">best interests. We seek to ensure that voting reflects our understanding of

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In line with our active ownership approach, we review the majority
of general meeting agendas convened by companies which are held in our active equity portfolios. Analysis is undertaken by a member of
our regional investment teams or our Active Ownership team and votes instructed following consideration of our policies, our views of
the company and our investment insights. To enhance our analysis we may engage with a company prior to voting to understand additional
context and explanations, particularly where there is deviation from what we believe to be best practice.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">To supplement our own analysis we make use of the benchmark research
and recommendations provided by ISS, a <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">provider of proxy voting services. In
the UK we also make use of the Investment Association</FONT>&rsquo;<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">s (IA) Institutional
Voting Information Service. We have implemented regional voting policy guidelines with ISS which ISS applies to all meetings in order
to produce customised vote recommendations. These custom recommendations help identify resolutions which deviate from our expectations.
They are also used to determine votes where a company is held only in passive funds. Within our custom policies, however, we do specify
numerous resolutions which should be referred to us for active review.</FONT> For example we will analyse all proposals marked by ISS
as environmental or social proposals.</P>

we will vote our clients</FONT>&rsquo; <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">shares</FONT> against resolutions which
are not consistent with their best interests. We may also vote against resolutions which conflict with local governance guidelines, such
as the IA in the UK. Although we seek to vote either in favour or against a resolution we do make use of an abstain vote where this is
considered appropriate. For example we may use an abstention to acknowledge some improvement, but as a means to reserve our position
in expectation that further improvement is needed before we can vote in favour. Where we vote against a resolution we endeavour to inform
companies of our rationale.</P>

clients. Companies must be clear about the drivers of their business success and their strategy for maintaining and enhancing it.
Investment is a forward-looking process; we seek to understand the opportunity for a business and its scope for future
value-creation over the long term. In order to do this, we need clarity on past business delivery and its drivers, and on the
effective track record of management; we require honest and open reporting to build confidence in that track record. We seek
confidence that companies and their management can maintain their competitive positioning and operational performance and
subsequently enhance returns for investors. A clear strategy and clarity about the drivers of operational success provides the lens
through which we will consider most corporate issues, not least assessing performance and risk management.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Effective decision making requires a mix of skills around the table
and constructive debate between diverse and different-minded individuals. A range of skills, experience and perspectives should be drawn
together on the board. These include industry knowledge, experience from other sectors and relevant geographical knowledge. Independence
of thought plays a crucial role in the ability of a board to generate the debate and discussion that will challenge management, help
enhance business performance and improve decision-making. Board assessments will help the board ensure it has the necessary mix of skills,
diversity and quality of individuals to address the current risks and opportunities the company faces. Unitary boards should comprise
an appropriate combination of executive and non-executive directors such that no group of individuals dominates decision-making. We expect
the size of the board to reflect the size, nature and complexity of the business. We also expect regular internal and external board
evaluations which include an assessment of board composition and effectiveness.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Running businesses effectively for the long term requires
effective collaboration and cooperation, with no individual or small group having unfettered powers. Nor should they have dominant
influence over the way a business is run or over major decisions about its operations or future. There should be a division of
responsibility between board leadership and executive leadership of the business. We believe that there should be a division of
roles at the top of the organisation, typically between a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and an independent Chair.</P>

carrying out their roles with appropriate vigour and diligence. A further important element of director accountability to
shareholders is that investors should have the right, both formal and informal, to propose and promote individual directors to be
considered for election to the board by all shareholders.</P>

standards has led to much greater investor confidence in the accounts produced by companies around the world. It has also assisted in
creating consistency of reporting across companies, enabling fairer comparisons between different operating businesses. We therefore

aligned with strategy, attracting and retaining talent and incentivising the decisions and behaviours needed to create long-term
value. The component parts of remuneration should be structured so as to link rewards to corporate and individual performance and
they should be considered in the context of the remuneration policies when taken as a whole. We recognise the benefits of simplicity
in forming the policy, which should clearly link outcomes and expectations for those receiving the remuneration, as well as external
stakeholders. The structure should be transparent and understandable.</P>

sustainable performance and risk appetite over the long term. We expect all variable pay to be capped, preferably as a proportion of
base salary. In the UK we expect variable pay to be capped as a proportion of salary. In other markets, if variable pay is capped at
a number of shares, we expect the value of grants to be kept under review annually to ensure the value remains appropriate and is not

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Given the nature of the topics covered by these resolutions we do
not apply binary voting policies. We adopt a nuanced approach to our voting research and outcomes and will consider the specific
circumstances of the company concerned. Our objective is not to vote in favour of all shareholder resolutions but to determine the
best outcome for the company in the context of the best outcome for our clients. There are instances where we are supportive of the
spirit of a resolution however there may be a reason which prevents our support for the proposal. For example, where the purpose of
the resolution is unclear, where the wording is overly prescriptive, when suggested implementation is overly burdensome or <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">where
the proposal strays too closely to the board</FONT>&rsquo;<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">s responsibility
for setting the company</FONT>&rsquo;<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">s strategy.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We are supportive of the steps being taken by companies to provide
transparent, detailed reporting of their ESG strategies and targets. While shareholder proposals on environmental and social topics have
been common on AGM agenda for several years, an increasing number of companies are presenting management proposals, such as so called
<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">&lsquo;say on climate</FONT>&rsquo; <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">votes,
for shareholder approval. While we welcome the intention of accountability behind these votes, we have reservations about the potential
for them to limit the scope for subsequent investor challenge and diminish the direct responsibility and accountability of the board
and individual directors. We believe it is the role of the board and the executive to develop and apply strategy, including ESG strategies,
and we will continue to use existing voting items to hold boards to account on the implementation of these strategies. As active investors
we also regularly engage with investee</FONT> companies on ESG topics and find this dialogue to be the best opportunity to provide feedback.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We are members of the Net Zero Asset Manager Initiatives and this
is reflected in our Active Ownership approach. We encourage the companies in which we invest to demonstrate a robust methodology underpinning
Paris aligned goals and targets and are supportive of resolutions that will help companies to achieve this. Once a credible climate strategy
is in place, we prioritise evidence of implementation over requests to re-draft strategies and targets after only a year or two.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">A growing number of resolutions call on companies to increase the
transparency of their reporting on climate- related lobbying. These proposals typically encompass direct lobbying undertaken by the company
and indirect lobbying undertaken by trade associations and other organisations of which it is a member or supporter. Lobbying contrary
to the objectives of the Paris Agreement is effective in creating climate policy inertia and impeding the transition to net zero economies.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We do not evaluate resolutions in isolation. Our approach recognises
the links between corporate governance, strategy <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">and climate approach. Where
a company</FONT>&rsquo;<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">s operational response to climate change is inadequate,
the effectiveness of board oversight and corporate governance may also be called into question.</FONT></P>

Inclusion (D&amp;I) is an important and growing theme for shareholder resolutions. In recent years resolutions</FONT> have focussed

equity audit is an independent analysis of a company</FONT>&rsquo;<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">s
business practices designed to identify practices that</FONT> may have a discriminatory effect. We are supportive of racial equity
audits in relation to internal and external D&amp;I programmes. It is appropriate that these programmes should have KPIs and audit
mechanisms in place to measure and evaluate outcomes. Some proposals request racial equity audits of provision of services. We are
aware that measuring provision of service is challenging and gathering racial data on customers can be difficult and inappropriate.
There are also multiple different factors that can influence service provision and which could be misconstrued as being racially
motivated. We will however, support resolutions which are not unduly prescriptive and allow companies to carry out audits within a
reasonable timeframe, at a reasonable cost, and excluding confidential or proprietary information.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We consider standardised gender pay gap disclosure to be an important
tool for assessing how companies are addressing gender inequality. Reporting on gender pay gaps across global operations can help companies
to remain ahead of the regulatory curve. It also enables them to offer better opportunities and remuneration for women around the world.
We are therefore supportive of resolutions which are likely to deliver these benefits. Proposals must be carefully drafted to achieve
these outcomes. For instance, in the past we have been unable to support resolutions which called for global median gender and racial
pay gap reporting as it was unclear how this would reveal potential pay disparities at a local level and how it could be implemented
by companies with operations in jurisdictions where collection of racial identity data is illegal.</P>

The EEO-1 form details a comprehensive breakdown of workforce by race and gender according to ten employment categories. The form is
submitted privately to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on an annual basis. When publicly disclosed, it offers investors
and other stakeholders data in a standardised and comparable form. We have used our engagement programme to ask the companies in which
we invest to disclose this form for their US operations while making it central to our D&amp;I voting approach and supporting resolutions
that request it.</P>

Proposals may also request the disclosure of more information regarding the process and rationale for political contributions. We
expect companies to make transparent, consolidated disclosures of direct and indirect lobbying and political expenditure. This
disclosure should be underpinned by a coherent policy that: explains public policy priorities and the rationale for associated
expenditure, identifies the management positions responsible for public policy engagement, and provides appropriate mechanisms for
board oversight. These measures should mitigate the risks associated with corporate lobbying and political contributions, protecting
the interest of shareholders and other stakeholders.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Applying ESG and sustainability criteria in the investment process
may result in the exclusion of securities within the universe of potential investments. The interpretation of ESG and sustainability
criteria is subjective meaning that products may invest in companies which similar products do not (and thus perform differently) and
which do not align with the personal views of any individual investor. Furthermore, the lack of common or harmonized definitions and
labels regarding ESG and sustainability criteria may result in different approaches by managers when integrating ESG and sustainability
criteria into investment decisions. This means that it may be difficult to compare strategies within ostensibly similar objectives and
that these strategies will employ different security selection and exclusion criteria. Consequently, the performance profile of otherwise
similar vehicles may deviate more substantially than might otherwise be expected. Additionally, in the absence of common or harmonized
definitions and labels, a degree of subjectivity is required and this will mean that a product may invest in a security that another
manager or an investor would not. abrdn plc is registered in Scotland (SC286832) at 1 George Street, Edinburgh EH2 2LL.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">While NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund&rsquo;s investment
performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder&rsquo;s investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder&rsquo;s investment
in the Fund is determined by the Fund&rsquo;s market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund&rsquo;s shares in the
open market.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Funds may distribute any long-term capital gains more frequently than the limits provided in Section&nbsp;19(b)&nbsp;under
the 1940 Act and Rule&nbsp;19b-1 thereunder. Therefore, distributions paid by the Funds during the year may include net income, short-term
capital gains, long-term capital gains and/or a return of capital. Net income dividends and short-term capital gain dividends, while generally
taxable at ordinary income rates, may be eligible, to the extent of qualified dividend income earned by the Funds, to be taxed at a lower
rate not to exceed the maximum rate applicable to your long-term capital gains. Distributions made in any calendar year in excess of investment
company taxable income and net capital gain are treated as taxable ordinary dividends to the extent of undistributed earnings and profits,
and then as a return of capital that reduces the adjusted basis in the shares held. To the extent return of capital distributions exceed
the adjusted basis in the shares held, capital gain is recognized with a holding period based on the period the shares have been held
at the date such amount is received.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The payment of distributions in accordance with
the Distribution Policy may result in a decrease in the Fund&rsquo;s net assets. A decrease in the Fund&rsquo;s net assets may cause
an increase in the Fund&rsquo;s annual operating expense ratio and a decrease in the Fund&rsquo;s market price per share to the extent
the market price correlates closely to the Fund&rsquo;s net asset value per share. The Distribution Policy may also negatively affect
the Fund&rsquo;s investment activities to the extent that the Fund is required to hold larger cash positions than it typically would
hold or to the extent that the Fund must liquidate securities that it would not have sold, for the purpose of paying the distribution.
Each Fund&rsquo;s Board has the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Distribution Policy at any time. The amendment, suspension or
termination of the Distribution Policy may affect the Fund&rsquo;s market price per share. Investors should consult their tax advisor
regarding federal, state, and local tax considerations that may be applicable in their particular circumstances.</P>

market through one of the stock exchanges. A Fund&rsquo;s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor&rsquo;s
shares may be worth more or less than the original cost. Shares of closed-end funds may trade above (a premium) or below (a discount)
the net asset value (NAV) of the fund&rsquo;s portfolio. There is no assurance that a Fund will achieve its investment objective. Past
performance does not guarantee future results.</P>
