        <footnote id="F1">The amount reported represents the estimated number of shares tendered to the abrdn Japan Equity Fund, Inc. (the &quot;Fund&quot;) in connection with the issuer tender offer by the Fund pursuant to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 1, 2025 (the &quot;Tender Offer&quot;). The Fund purchased only a prorated portion of the shares properly tendered by each tendering stockholder. The final proration factor for the Tender Offer is 63.61%.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">This Form 4 amends and restates in its entirety the Form 4 filed on 9/05/2025, to reflect that the total amount of securities beneficially owned following the reported transactions should have been 1,249.4984, rather than 1,348.4984, and to correct disclosure with respect to the ownership form of the securities and the nature of direct and indirect beneficial ownership. This amendment corrects an administrative error.</footnote>
