    <B>2.&#160;&#160;Approve the declaration of a distribution of
    long-term and short-term capital gain in fund
    shares.</B>&#160;&#160;As I have written previously, the change
    in the Fund&#146;s investment manager has led to the realization
    of considerable gains that are required by the
    U.S.&#160;Internal Revenue Code to be distributed to
    stockholders to avoid the application of Fund-level taxes. At
    June&#160;30, 2008, the Fund had approximately
    $208.8&#160;million ($8.57 per share) and $16.5&#160;million
    ($0.68 per share) of realized long-term and short-term capital
    gains, respectively. The Fund also may need to pay out as a part
    of such required distribution any additional capital gains
    realized between July&#160;1, 2008 and October&#160;31, 2008.
    This required distribution is expected to be paid in January
    2009. Paying such a distribution in cash would require the sale
    of additional portfolio holdings, the realized gains from which
    would need to be distributed at the end of next year. In short,
    a cash distribution would create a so-called
    &#147;cascading&#148; effect which would cause the Fund to
    shrink over time, likely causing its expense ratio to increase.
    Consequently, your Board has proposed that this distribution of
    realized gains be paid to a stockholder in Fund shares, unless
    the stockholder elects to receive the distribution in cash (as
    you may know, this distribution of Fund shares with a cash
    election option would be consistent with the approach taken by
    the Fund last year). Paying a distribution in Fund shares
    reduces the shrinkage of the Fund in two ways&#160;&#150; first,
    it eliminates the immediate shrinkage resulting from the current
    distribution because those stockholders not electing cash will,
    in effect, reinvest their distribution, and second, it
    eliminates the cascade effect by avoiding the need to sell
    portfolio holdings to raise cash, which would trigger the
    realization of additional gains requiring distribution. An added
    benefit of paying the distribution in Fund shares is that it
    more easily permits those stockholders wishing to maintain
    exposure to Korea to retain their positions. The Fund shares
    issued in connection with the expected distribution of gains
    will be issued at the lower of the market value of Fund shares
    or the net asset value of Fund shares. As the Fund&#146;s shares
    are currently trading at a discount to net asset value, it is
    likely that those stockholders receiving the distribution in
    Fund shares will be issued such shares at a price below net
    asset value. Alternatively, stockholders wishing to raise cash
    may either sell stock or elect to accept the distribution in
    cash. Additional information on this proposal is set out in the
    proxy statement.

    As mentioned above, the Fund provided stockholders with the same
    cash election option last year. Due to unanticipated
    complications, the notice period for stockholders to make their
    election was shorter than expected. I wish to confirm that, if
    this proposal is approved by stockholders, the Fund will
    endeavor to provide stockholders with a longer notice period in
    which to make their election for a cash dividend.

    Due to the Fund&#146;s prior investment manager&#146;s &#147;buy
    and hold&#148; investment style, and as a consequence of
    substantial changes made to the Fund&#146;s holdings by RCM SF
    and RCM AP in connection with the transition of the Fund to a
    new investment manager, the Fund has realized a significant
    amount of capital gains. Under the U.S.&#160;Internal Revenue
    Code, in order to avoid the application of a Fund-level excise
    tax, the Fund is required each calendar year to distribute at
    least 98% of its &#147;capital gain net income&#148; (the excess
    of capital gains over capital losses) for the
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">12-month</FONT>
    period ending on October&#160;31st. In addition, the Fund will
    be subject to tax at regular corporate rates on any net capital
    gains (net long-term capital gains in excess of net short-term
    capital losses) that are not distributed. Although gains
    realized through October&#160;31, 2007 already have been
    distributed, at June&#160;30, 2008, the Fund had approximately
    $208.8&#160;million ($8.57 per share) and $16.5&#160;million
    ($0.68&#160;per share) of realized long-term and short-term
    capital gains, respectively. In addition, the Fund could realize
    additional capital gains between July&#160;1, 2008 and
    October&#160;31, 2008, which also may need to be distributed to
    stockholders. If the Fund were to make a distribution of gains
    in cash and the Fund remained fully invested, it would need to
    sell additional portfolio securities to raise the cash to make
    the distribution. These additional sales would cause the Fund to
    realize additional gains that in turn would need to be
    distributed. As a result of this &#147;cascade,&#148; the Fund
    would shrink, likely causing an increase in the Fund&#146;s
    expense ratio.

    In an effort to reduce the shrinkage of the Fund caused by both
    the current distribution and future distributions resulting from
    the &#145;cascade&#146; effect, the Fund intends to make all or
    part of its distribution of long-term and short-term capital
    gains in newly-issued Fund shares or, at the election of the
    stockholder, in cash (a &#147;Cash Election Dividend&#148;).
    Stockholders that do not make any election, or whose elections
    are not received in proper form before an appropriate deadline,
    would receive the distribution in Fund shares.

    than 95% of the market price on the payment date. Because the
    Fund shares have typically traded at a discount to NAV, it is
    likely that the shares issued pursuant to the Cash Election
    Dividend would be issued at a price below NAV.

    ordinary income (for distributions of short-term capital gains).
    Stockholders will be notified of the allocation of the
    distribution between long-term and short-term capital gains. For
    U.S.&#160;federal income tax purposes, shareholders receiving
    their distributions in Fund shares will be treated as having
    received an amount equal to the fair market value of the Fund
    shares received. In addition, whether paid in cash or additional
    Fund shares, the amounts distributed will be net of any
    applicable withholding taxes. This discussion of the
    U.S.&#160;federal income tax consequences of the Cash Election
    Dividend are general in nature. Stockholders should consult
    their own tax advisors regarding their particular situation and
    the possible application of state, local, and

    If the shares are issued at less than NAV, the issuance of such

    stockholders will, upon completion of the Fund&#146;s payment of
    the Cash Election Dividend, own a smaller proportional interest
    in the Fund.

    Rule&#160;312.03 of the New York Stock Exchange

    of shares representing 20% or more of the voting power
    outstanding prior to the issuance of such shares.
    Rule&#160;312.03 also requires the Fund to obtain shareholder
    approval prior to issuing shares to any substantial security
    holder of the Fund. Depending on the identity and number of Fund
    shares held by persons electing to receive cash in the Cash
    Election Dividend and the amount of gains to be distributed, the
    dividend could involve an issuance of 20% or more of the
    Fund&#146;s pre-issuance outstanding shares, and it could also
    involve an issuance of shares to a substantial stockholder of
    the Fund. See above for disclosure regarding stockholders

    In addition, Section&#160;23(b) of the 1940 Act restricts

    permits such issuances &#147;with the consent of a majority of

    interpret applicable law to permit the Cash Election Dividend to
    be paid without stockholder approval, the Board has determined
    to seek stockholder approval. At the Meeting, you will be asked

    In June and September 2004, AGIFM and certain of its affiliates
    agreed to settle, without admitting or denying the allegations,
    claims brought by the SEC, the New Jersey Attorney General and
    the California Attorney General alleging violations of federal
    and state securities laws with respect to certain open-end funds
    for which the Manager serves as investment adviser. Two
    settlements (with the SEC and New Jersey) related to an alleged
    &#147;market timing&#148; arrangement in certain open-end funds
    sub-advised by an affiliate of AGIFM. In February 2006, the
    plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed RCM from the consolidated
    market timing lawsuits. Two settlements (with the SEC and
    California) related to the alleged use of cash and fund
    portfolio commissions to finance &#147;shelf-space&#148;
    arrangements with broker-dealers for open-end funds. AGIFM and
    its affiliates agreed to pay a total of $68&#160;million to
    settle the claims related to market timing and
    $20.6&#160;million to settle the claims related to shelf-space.
    In addition to monetary payments, the settling parties agreed to
    undertake certain corporate governance, compliance and
    disclosure reforms related to market timing, brokerage
    commissions, revenue sharing and shelf-space arrangements, and
    consented to cease and desist orders and censures. None of the
    settlements alleged that any inappropriate activity took place
    with respect to the Fund.

    Solicitation of proxies is being made primarily by the mailing

    As the meeting date approaches, certain stockholders may receive
    telephone calls from representatives of Broadridge if their
    votes have not been received. Authorization to permit Broadridge
    to execute proxies may be obtained by telephonic instructions or
    electronically transmitted instructions from stockholders of the
    Fund. If proxies are obtained telephonically, they will be
    recorded in accordance with procedures that are consistent with
    applicable law and that the Fund believes are reasonably
    designed to ensure that both the identity of the stockholder
    casting the vote and the voting instructions of the stockholder
    are accurately determined.

    If a stockholder wishes to participate in the Meeting, but does
    not wish to give a proxy by telephone, the stockholder may still

    Should stockholders require additional information regarding the
    proxy or a replacement proxy card, they may contact Broadridge
    toll-free at 1-866-451-3782. Any proxy given by a stockholder is
    revocable until voted at the Meeting. See &#147;Proxy

    to adjourn the Meeting without further notice to a date not more
    than 120&#160;days following the Record Date. The persons named
