<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">A Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the "Plan") is available to provide Stockholders with automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions in additional Fund shares. The Plan also allows you to make optional annual cash investments in Fund shares through the Plan Agent. A brochure fully describing the Plan's terms and conditions is available on the Fund's website at www.japanequityfund.com and from the Plan Agent by calling (866) 669-9904 or by writing The Japan Equity Fund, Inc., c/o the American Stock Transfer &amp; Trust Company, Operations Center, 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">A brief summary of the material aspects of the Plan follows:</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"><b>Who can participate in the Plan?</b></font><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">  If you wish to participate and your shares are held in your name, you may elect to become a direct participant in the Plan by completing and mailing the Enrollment Authorization form on the back cover of the Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan Brochure to the Plan Agent. However, if your shares are held in the name of a financial institution, you should instruct your financial institution to participate in the Plan on your behalf. If your financial institution is unable to participate in the Plan for you, you should request that your shares be registered in your name, so that you may elect to participate directly in the Plan.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"><b>May I withdraw from the Plan?</b></font><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">  If your shares are held in your name and you wish to receive all dividends and capital gain distributions in cash rather than in shares, you may withdraw from the Plan without penalty at any time by contacting the Plan Agent. If your shares are held in the name of a financial institution, you should be able to withdraw from the Plan without a penalty at any time by sending written notice to your financial institution. If you withdraw, you or your financial institution will receive a share certificate for all full shares or, if you wish, the Plan Agent will sell your shares and send you the proceeds, after the deduction of brokerage commissions. The Plan Agent will convert any fractional shares to cash at the then-current market price and send you a check for the proceeds.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"><b>How are the dividends and distributions reinvested?</b></font><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">  If the market price of the Fund's shares on the payment date should equal or exceed their net asset value per share, the Fund will issue new shares to you at the </font></p>

If the market price is lower than the net asset value per share, the Fund will issue new shares to you at the market price. If the dividends or distributions are declared and payable as cash only, you will receive shares purchased for you by the Plan Agent on the NYSE or otherwise on the open market to the extent available.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"><b>What is the Cash Purchase feature?</b></font><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">  The Plan participants have the option of making semi-annual investments in Fund shares through the Plan Agent. You may invest any amount from $100 to $5,000 semi-annually. The Plan Agent will purchase shares for you on the NYSE or otherwise on the open market on or about February 15th and August 15th of each year. Plan participants should send voluntary cash payments to be received by the Plan Agent approximately ten days before the applicable purchase date. The Plan Agent will return any cash payments received more than thirty days prior to the purchase date. You may withdraw a voluntary cash payment by written notice, if the notice is received by the Plan Agent not less than two business days before the investment date.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"><b>Is there a cost to participate?</b></font><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">  There are no Plan charges or brokerage charges for shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a service fee of $2.50 for each investment and a pro rata portion of brokerage commissions for shares purchased on the NYSE or on the open market by the Plan Agent.</font></p>

In addition, the Plan Agent will reinvest dividends for foreign participants and for any participant subject to federal backup withholding after the deduction of the amounts required to be withheld.</font></p>
<p style="margin:8pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"><i>Please note that, if you participate in the Plan through a brokerage account, you may not be able to continue as a participant if you transfer those shares to another broker.

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">It is our pleasure on behalf of the Board of Directors to present the Annual Report for The Japan Equity Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") for the year ended October 31, 2013.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 2pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"><b>Market Review (November 2012 &#150; October 2013)</b></font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Tokyo market rallied from November 2012 until May 2013. There was a correction in May, but it trended strongly afterwards. As a result, the Tokyo market returned 63.97% on a JPY basis in the period from November 2012 to October 2013. The Tokyo market began its long rally on November 12, 2012. This is the day it was decided that the lower house would be dissolved, and the overwhelming probability that the economic growth-focused Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) would beat the social welfare-focused Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) in the subsequent December election boosted the stock market. Since November 12, 2012 the market began to react sensitively to statements by then-LDP leader Shinzo Abe (now Prime Minister). Statements about monetary policy were scrutinized in particular. After LDP leader Shinzo Abe declared he would cooperate with the Bank of Japan (BOJ) and advance bold monetary easing, and the yen was sold off in foreign exchange markets in response, and exporters which had been sold during yen appreciation rebounded. The LDP combined with its coalition partner The New Komei Party (NKP) to win over two-thirds of the lower house seats in a massive victory, and the Tokyo market rallied almost constantly through May 2013 due to the renewed energy towards monetary and fiscal policy.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The economic policy brought forward by Prime Minister Abe in December came to be known as "Abenomics," which contains "three arrows." The first arrow is pushing the BOJ for aggressive monetary easing, the second arrow is fiscal stimulus in the form of public works spending, and the third is an economic growth strategy which includes various forms of deregulation. The first arrow had the largest impact on financial markets. The BOJ agreed to the strong demands from the LDP and strengthened their stance on monetary easing, and the yen depreciated against all major currencies in response. This was expected to contribute greatly to improving the competitiveness of the Japanese export industry.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">However, the Tokyo market plummeted after hitting its high point on May 22. The following factors contributed to this:</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">1.&nbsp;&nbsp;The US Federal Reserve (FRB) declared that they would begin tapering their quantitative easing 3 (QE3) program, and this caused the dollar long-term interest rate to rise.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">2.&nbsp;&nbsp;Equities fell across the globe in response to the rising dollar interest rate.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">3.&nbsp;&nbsp;Emerging markets including Brazil, India, and China continued their economic slump.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Tokyo market once again rose steadily from June and on. The following factors contributed to the global rebound rally in global stock prices:</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">1.&nbsp;&nbsp;Continued recovery in the Japanese economy and in Japanese corporate earnings,</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">2.&nbsp;&nbsp;The spread of the view that the FRB would prolong its monetary easing due to a lack of signs that the US economy was overheating, and</font></p>

</div>
<div style="margin:8pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;">
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 2pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"><b>Comments:</b></font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 3pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">As shown in Table 1 on the previous page, the net asset value (NAV) of the Fund increased by 33.28% in USD terms during the twelve months from November 2012 to October 2013, while the benchmark (TOPIX index) increased 30.10% in USD terms. As a result, the portfolio outperformed the benchmark by 3.18% for the period.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 3pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Table 2 shows that the performance of the equity portion of the portfolio (excluding expenses and cash positions in JPY terms) was 67.69% versus the benchmark return of 63.97%, which indicates that the fund outperformed by 3.72% on this basis. Relative to the TOPIX, the sector selection effect was 2.82%, while the stock selection effect was 0.90% (see Table 4 above).</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 3pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">In terms of sector selection, positive effects were generated by the Fund's overweight position in other financing businesses (+0.88%) and iron &amp; steel (+0.58%), and its underweight position in pharmaceuticals (+1.08%) and foods (+0.69%). Overweights in cyclical sectors and underweights in non-cyclical sectors contributed to the capture of added value.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 3pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Japanese steel industry saw strong earnings on improvement in export competitiveness due to yen depreciation, as well as on rising prices for high-end steel used by the automobile industry. The non-bank sector was also strong due to falling interest rates and the effects of increased demand for lending domestically. The pharmaceuticals and food sectors underperformed. These sectors are stereotypical non-cyclicals, and they underperformed as they always due during periods of economic recovery.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 3pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">In terms of individual stocks, our overweight in </font><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"><b>Minebea Co. Ltd.</b></font><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"> in the electric appliances sector contributed positively to the stock selection effect. Minebea benefitted from depreciation of the Thai Baht, improving the competitiveness of its ball bearings manufactured in Thailand, and its profits recovered rapidly.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 3pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">In the glass &amp; ceramics products sector, an overweight in </font><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"><b>Taiheiyo Cement</b></font><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"> contributed to the stock selection effect. Taiheiyo Cement's share price rose on increasing expectations for an increase in demand and prices for cement, as redevelopment in Tokyo is expected to accelerate due to its selection as the host city for the 2020 Olympics.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 3pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">On the other hand, our non-holding of </font><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"><b>Softbank Corporation</b></font><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"> was a negative contributor in the information &amp; communication sector. Softbank's shares soared on expectations for growth in overseas markets. However, we judged that Softbank's profits will not grow to the extent the market is expecting. We considered it overvalued, and did not hold it.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 3pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Overweights in </font><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"><b>NAFCO Co. Ltd.</b></font><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"> and </font><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"><b>DCM Holdings CO. Ltd.</b></font><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"> in the retail trade sector were also detractors. These are deep value stocks, but they underperformed as investors shunned them for their low growth potential.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 3pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">We are overweighting discounted cyclicals including financials and exporters. In our main economic scenario the world economy is bottoming out, however we are not betting big on that yet since the probability of our risk scenario is increasing. We are cautious about the Chinese and other emerging economies. We are actively taking value risk. We plan to actively invest in companies which are extremely discounted against their net asset value (NAV). Takeover bids for such companies are beginning to increase on the Japanese stock market. Due to this increase in takeover bids, we forecast that stocks extremely discounted against their NAV will outperform going forward.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Japan Equity Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") was incorporated in Maryland on July 12, 1990 under its former name "The Japan Emerging Equity Fund, Inc." and commenced operations on July 24, 1992. It is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a closed-end, diversified management investment company. The Fund's objective is to outperform over the long term, on a total return basis (including appreciation and dividends), the Tokyo Stock Price Index (TOPIX).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. Dollars.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Fund is required to value its securities at fair market value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Equity securities that are traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded at the "Valuation Time", subject to application, when appropriate, of the fair valuation factors described in the paragraph below. The Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). In the absence of a sale price, the security is valued at the mean of the bid/ask quoted at the close on the principal exchange on which the security is traded. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds are valued at the market price of the security at the Valuation Time. A security using any of these pricing methodologies is determined to be a Level 1 investment.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Foreign equity securities that are traded on foreign exchanges that close prior to the Valuation Time are valued by applying valuation factors to the last sale price or the mean price as noted above. Valuation factors are provided by an independent pricing service provider. These valuation factors are used when pricing the Fund's portfolio holding to estimate market movements between the time foreign markets close and the time the Fund values such foreign securities.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">These valuation factors are based on inputs such as depositary receipts, indices, futures, sector indices/ETFs, exchange rates, and local exchange opening and closing prices of each security. When prices with the application of valuation factors are utilized, the value assigned to the foreign securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on their primary markets. A security that applies a valuation factor is determined to be a Level 2 investment because the exchange-traded price has been adjusted. Valuation factors are not </font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">In the event that a security's market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, (for reasons other than because the foreign exchange on which they trade closed before the Valuation Time), the security is valued at fair value as determined by the Fund's Pricing Committee, taking into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances using valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board. A security that has been fair valued by the Pricing Committee may be classified as Level 2 or 3 depending on the nature of the inputs.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under 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 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 identical assets, and Level 3 measurements to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation. 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'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's level within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Level 1&#151;quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Level 2&#151;other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk); or</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Level 3&#151;significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2013 in valuing the Fund's investments at fair value. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement. It is the Fund's policy that its custodian/counterparty segregate the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the collateral is valued on a daily basis to determine its adequacy. Under the Master Repurchase Agreement, if the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the counterparty of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund held a repurchase agreement of $247,000 as of October 31, 2013. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the repurchase agreement at period end.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. Dollars on the following basis:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Fund does not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments in equity securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. Accordingly, realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses with respect to such securities are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investment transactions balances.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions and foreign taxes withheld on security transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such foreign currency related transactions are treated as ordinary income for U.S. federal income tax purposes.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Net unrealized currency gains or losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at period end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation/depreciation in value of investments, and translation of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses represent foreign exchange gains and losses from transactions in foreign currencies and forward foreign currency contracts, exchange gains or losses realized between the trade date and settlement date on security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin, including unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. Dollar. Generally, when the U.S. Dollar rises in value against foreign currency, the Fund's investments denominated in that foreign currency will lose value because the foreign currency is worth fewer U.S. Dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. Dollar falls in relative value.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date upon which the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized and unrealized gains and losses from security and foreign currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and corporate actions are recorded generally on the ex-date, except for certain dividends and corporate actions which may be recorded after the ex-date, as soon as the Fund acquires information regarding such dividends or corporate actions. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Fund records dividends and distributions payable to its stockholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These book basis/tax basis ("book/tax") differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions which exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Fund intends to continue to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and to comply with the minimum distribution and other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. As of October 31, 2013, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. As of October 31, 2013, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund's federal tax returns for the current and prior four fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.</font></p>

However, any losses incurred during those taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law. Capital loss carryforwards expire as follows:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">On May 23, 2012, the Fund announced that its Board of Directors had approved a Discount Management Program. The Discount Management Program authorizes management, from time to time and to the extent permitted by law, to repurchase up to 10% of the Fund's outstanding shares in open market transactions for each twelve-month period ended October 31. Such purchases will be made when the Fund's shares are trading at a discount to NAV of 9% or more and the daily average discount from the Fund's NAV for the five-day period ending the prior day is 9% or more.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Board of Directors authorized the Discount Management Program in order to potentially enhance share liquidity and increase shareholder value through the potential accretive impact of the purchases to the Fund's NAV. There is no assurance that the Fund will purchase shares in any specific amounts. 187,121 shares were repurchased by the Fund pursuant to the Discount Management Program during the year ended October 31, 2013.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, and political or social instability or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries. Foreign securities may also be harder to price than U.S. securities.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Fund may have elements 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 currencies risks. Such focused investments may subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">On December 19, 2013, stockholders of the Fund approved Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Limited ("Aberdeen") as the Fund's new investment manager pursuant to an investment management agreement (the "Agreement"), effective January 6, 2014. The Agreement will replace the Fund's existing investment management agreement pursuant to which the Fund's existing investment manager, Daiwa SB Investments (USA) Ltd. ("Daiwa SB"), managed the investment of the Fund's assets. Under the Agreement, the total management fees paid by the Fund will be a monthly fee at an annual rate of (1) 0.60% of the Fund's average weekly net assets for the first U.S. $20 million, (2) 0.40% of the Fund's average weekly net assets for the next U.S. $30 million and (3) 0.20% of the Fund's average weekly net assets in excess of U.S. $50 million.

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Japan Equity Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") at October 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.</font></p>

The Board concluded that the nature and extent of the advisory services provided were necessary and appropriate for the conduct of the business and investment activities of the Fund.

The Board also reviewed and considered information showing that while the Investment Adviser does not manage any other U.S. registered funds, it does advise equity accounts for Japanese investors with advisory fees that are higher than the Advisory Fee. The Board concluded that the Advisory Fee charged by the Advisers was appropriate as compared to other funds and accounts advised by the Advisers.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Board reviewed the fee paid by the other U.S. registered closed-end fund investing in Japan, The Japan Smaller Capitalization Fund. The Board noted that the advisory fee rate was higher for The Japan Smaller Capitalization Fund than for the Fund. In addition, the Board reviewed and considered the advisory fees paid by other closed-end funds investing in a single country. While the fees vary widely, the majority of these fees paid in connection with these country funds were in the 1.00% and higher range. The Board concluded that the Advisory Fee was competitive with these other country funds. The Board further noted that the total expense ratio of the Fund was lower than that of many other country funds, including Japan Smaller Capitalization Fund, Inc., and concluded that the Fund's total expense ratio was competitive.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Board reviewed and considered the structure of the Fund's advisory fee schedule under the Advisory Agreement and Investment Management Agreement and noted that it does include breakpoints. The Board considered that the Fund is closed-ended, and, therefore, the Board concluded that economies of scale for the Fund beyond the current breakpoints were not a factor that needed to be considered at the current asset levels.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Board reviewed and considered a profitability report for each of the Advisers for the last year included in the materials previously provided to the Board. Based on its review of the information it received, the Board concluded that the profits earned by each Adviser were not excessive in light of the advisory services provided to the Fund.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Board considered the controls and procedures adopted and implemented by each of the Advisers and monitored by the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer and concluded that the conduct of business by each of the Advisers indicates a good faith effort on its part to adhere to high ethical standards.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 2pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"><b>General Conclusion</b></font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">After considering and weighing all of the above factors, the Board concluded it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its stockholders to approve renewal of each of the Advisory Agreement and Investment Management Agreement for another year, subject, however, to the outcome of the adviser/manager review process the Board has commenced.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 2pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"><b>Background Related to the Approval of Aberdeen as Investment Manager</b></font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">After deliberations over several months, the Fund's Board, including all of the directors who are not "interested persons" (as defined under the 1940 Act) of the Fund (the "Independent Directors"), approved a new investment management agreement (the "Proposed Agreement") between the Fund and Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Limited ("Aberdeen"), a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Singapore and an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Aberdeen is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aberdeen Asset Management PLC ("Aberdeen PLC").</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">In light of the Board's concerns about several recent changes in personnel and business at the Fund's current investment manager, Daiwa SB Investments (USA) Ltd. (the "Existing Investment Manager"), and at an affiliate of the Existing Investment Manager that provided services to the Fund, the Fund's Board decided to review the continued retention of the Existing Investment Manager. The Board decided to retain a consultant to assist the Board in reviewing possible alternatives to the Existing Investment Manager. The consultant conducted a performance review of several potential managers and submitted a report back to the Board on the results of its work. Following review of this report, the Board arranged to obtain performance information on additional potential managers. After reviewing all of the performance information that had been obtained, the Board decided to submit request for proposals ("RFPs") to several of the potential managers, including the Existing Investment Manager and Aberdeen. Some of those that received RFPs declined to respond; and at the end of the RFP process, the Board received responses from four potential managers.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The materials received from the four candidates were made available to the Board prior to its meeting in September 2013. These materials discussed many different aspects of each candidate's investment management capabilities, including its past performance, its portfolio management team, its investment process, its compliance function, its support services and its proposed fees. At the September 2013 Board meeting, the Board decided to give further consideration to Aberdeen as a possible replacement for the Existing Investment Manager. Aberdeen was requested to provide additional information to the Board. The additional information was </font></p>

At that meeting, the Board approved the engagement of Aberdeen as the Fund's investment manager, subject to stockholder approval, which was achieved at the Special Meeting of Stockholders on December 19, 2013.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Board, including the Independent Directors, determined that the termination of the Existing Agreement with the Existing Investment Manager (the "Existing Agreement") and the retention of Aberdeen as the Fund's investment manager was in the best interests of the Fund and its stockholders.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 2pt 0pt;" align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;"><b>Board Considerations</b></font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Board, including the Independent Directors, approved the Proposed Agreement at a Board meeting on October 4, 2013. The Board determined that the terms of the Proposed Agreement are fair and reasonable and that the Proposed Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund. The Board believes that the scope and quality of services to be provided to the Fund under the Proposed Agreement are at least equivalent to the scope and quality of services provided under the Existing Agreement. To reach its determination, the Board considered its duties under the 1940 Act, as well as under the general principles of state law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts; the requirements of the 1940 Act; the fiduciary duty of investment advisers with respect to advisory agreements and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards have fulfilled their duties; and the factors to be considered by the Board in voting on such agreements.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">In light of the Board's concerns about several recent changes at the Existing Investment Manager, and at an affiliate of the Existing Investment Manager that provided services to the Fund, the Fund's Board decided to review the continued retention of the Existing Investment Manager. At a series of in-person and telephonic meetings over the course of several months, the Board conducted a search process involving the review of several potential investment managers, including the Existing Investment Manager and Aberdeen.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The information for each candidate included an overview of the candidate's credentials in the United States (particularly with regards to the candidate's experience managing closed-end funds registered in the United States) and Asia and comparative data showing the performance of the Fund as compared to the performance of comparable funds managed by each investment manager. During this time, the Board reviewed the one-, three- and five- year total return performance of the Fund as compared to the total return performance during the same periods of each potential investment manager, including Aberdeen. The Board also compared the information ratio, tracking error and total assets that each candidate managed in Japanese equities. Based on all the information provided to the Board, the Board concluded that Aberdeen had consistently outperformed the other investment manager candidates. At the Board's request, Aberdeen made a formal presentation to the Board at a meeting held on September 2, 2013. Thereafter, the Board requested additional information from Aberdeen. On October 4, 2013, the Board, all of whom are Independent Directors, had a meeting to discuss the detailed responses that Aberdeen had provided in response to this request. The Independent Directors also considered a draft of the Proposed Agreement at this meeting. At the conclusion of this meeting the Board unanimously approved the Proposed Agreement.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">In reviewing the Proposed Agreement, the Board considered the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by Aberdeen under the Proposed Agreement. The Board reviewed the qualifications of the portfolio management team and other key personnel of Aberdeen and determined that they are each qualified to perform the services in an efficient and professional manner. The Board also reviewed the services to be provided to the Fund by Aberdeen and its personnel. The Board also considered the representations of Aberdeen that the Fund and its stockholders would benefit from Aberdeen's extensive presence in Asia, as well as its core focus on regional and single-country investment vehicles. In light of the information presented and the considerations made at the various Board meetings, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided to the Fund by Aberdeen under the Proposed Agreement are expected to be in the best interest of the Fund and its stockholders.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Board also considered the management fees payable under the Proposed Agreement. The Board noted that the management fees under the Proposed Agreement would be the same as the fees payable under the Existing Agreement. The Board also noted that, once Aberdeen became the Fund's investment manager, the Fund's administrator, which is an affiliate of Aberdeen, would no longer charge the Fund a fee for providing compliances services. The Board also reviewed the level of investment management fees proposed by Aberdeen relative to the fees charged to all other U.S. registered closed-end funds managed by Aberdeen or its affiliates ("Other Aberdeen Funds") and fees charged by Aberdeen to other clients with assets invested in Japan. The Board also reviewed the fees paid by comparable funds to other investment managers in the Japanese marketplace. The Board reviewed not only the investment management fees, but other fees and expenses of the Fund and the Fund's total expense ratio under the Existing Agreement and the Proposed Agreement. The Board also considered the Fund's expense ratio as compared to the expense ratios of Other Aberdeen Funds and other comparable funds. The Board noted that the Agreement includes breakpoints. The Board determined that the Proposed Agreement includes breakpoints that are identical to the breakpoints in the Existing Agreement (providing for two reductions in fee rate for average weekly assets of the Fund in excess of $20 million and $50 million) that effectively address any potential economies of scale in the same manner as the Existing Agreement given the Fund's current asset levels. Based on the information presented on the fees under the Proposed Agreement, the Board concluded that the investment management fee to be charged by Aberdeen was reasonable and appropriate in light of the nature, quality and extent of services expected to be provided by Aberdeen and supported a decision to approve the Proposed Agreement.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">The Board discussed whether Aberdeen was financially sound and had the resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Proposed Agreement. The Board determined that the analysis of Aberdeen's financial soundness and financial capability supported a decision to approve the Proposed Agreement.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">In light of the information considered at the various Board meetings and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable and that the approval of the Proposed Agreement, and the approval of Aberdeen as the Fund's investment manager, was in the best interests of the Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font face="Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" style="font-size:10pt;">Accordingly, the Board recommended that the Fund's stockholders vote to approve the Proposed Agreement.</font></p>

Whenever decisions are made to buy or sell securities by the Fund and one or more of the other accounts simultaneously, Aberdeen 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 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 a Fund from time to time, it is the opinion of Aberdeen that the benefits from the Aberdeen organization outweigh any disadvantage that may arise from exposure to simultaneous transactions. Aberdeen 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.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">Aberdeen&#146;s policy is to recognize corporate and individual achievements each year through an appropriate annual bonus scheme.&#160; The Remuneration Committee of Aberdeen determines the key performance indicators that will be applied in considering the overall size of the bonus pool.&#160; In line with practice amongst other asset management companies, individual bonuses are not subject to an absolute cap.&#160; However, the aggregate size of the bonus pool is dependent on the group&#146;s overall performance and profitability.&#160; Consideration is also given to the levels of bonuses paid in the market.&#160; Individual awards are determined by a rigorous assessment of achievement against defined objectives, and are reviewed and approved by the Remuneration Committee.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">Staff performance is reviewed formally at least once a year. The review process evaluates the various aspects that the individual has contributed to the Aberdeen, 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.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">In the calculation of a portfolio management team&#146;s bonus, the Aberdeen 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.&#160; 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&nbsp;to December. The pre- or after-tax performance of an individual account is not considered in the determination of a portfolio manager&#146;s discretionary bonus; rather the review process evaluates the overall performance of the team for all of the accounts they manage.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">Portfolio manager performance on investment matters is judged over all of the accounts the portfolio manager contributes to and is documented in the appraisal process.&#160; A combination of the team&#146;s and individual&#146;s performance is considered and evaluated.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">Although performance is not a substantial portion of a portfolio manager&#146;s compensation, the Aberdeen also recognizes that fund performance can often be driven by factors outside one&#146;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 &#145;hot&#146; themes.&#160; Short-terming is thus discouraged and trading-oriented managers will thus find it difficult to thrive in the Aberdeen environment.&#160; Additionally, if any of the aforementioned undue risks were to be taken by a portfolio manager, such trend would be identified via Aberdeen&#146;s dynamic compliance monitoring system.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">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 &#147;1940 Act&#148;) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the &#147;Advisers Act&#148;).&#160; 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 &#147;affiliated persons&#148; of the Funds.&#160; Each Fund&#146;s Adviser and Subadviser (the &#147;adviser(s)&#148;) have adopted and implemented respective compliance programs and procedures that are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions.&#160; 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.&#160; 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.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">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.&#160; 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.&#160; 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.&#160; 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.&#160; In addition, it is recognized by the Funds&#146; Board that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of the Funds.</font></p>
