reasons set forth below, the Board determined to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement with AAMISL, as it would result in the services provided to the Fund by the London Employees being supervised by a US registered investment adviser (AAMISL) and its
Chief Compliance Officer located in London. By approving the Sub-Advisory Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section&nbsp;15 of the 1940 Act, the Fund&#146;s Board will be required to annually review the relationship between AAMAL and AAMISL
and determine that such relationship remains in the best interests of the Fund and its stockholders. For business reasons, the London Employees are associated with, but not employed by, AAMISL. This arrangement will continue following the execution
of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, with the London Employees providing services to AAMISL through a Memorandum of Understanding. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><U>AAMISL

Committee met to consider the proposed sub-advisory arrangement with AAMISL and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. Based on the materials presented, the Contract Review Committee determined to recommend to the Fund&#146;s Board of Directors that it approve
the proposed sub-advisory arrangement with AAMISL and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, as presented in the Board&#146;s materials. To assist the Board in its consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, as discussed below, the Board received and
considered extensive information about AAMISL and the resources that it intends to commit to the Fund. The Board of Directors also relied on information previously provided in connection with its annual review of the Fund&#146;s Investment
Management Agreement and Investment Advisory Agreement. This information, which was discussed at the Board&#146;s September 9, 2008 meeting, included a description of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by AAMAL
and AAML; the investment performance of the Fund; the costs of the services to be provided and the profitability to AAMAL and AAML from providing such services to the Fund; and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund
grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. The Board of Directors noted that (1) the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement are consistent with the terms of the Investment Management and Investment
Advisory Agreements previously considered and determined to be in the best interests of the Fund&#146;s and its stockholders; (2) substantially all of the same London Employees of the Aberdeen Group who currently provide investment advisory services
to the Fund would continue to provide the same services for the Fund&#146;s Sub-Adviser Assets pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding; and (3) the overall scope of the services provided to the Fund and the standard of care applicable to those
services would be the same. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Board conducted a thorough review of the potential implications of the Sub-Advisory

approved the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and directed that the Agreement be submitted to the Fund&#146;s stockholders for their consideration. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

evaluate stockholder director nominees in a different manner than other nominees and the standard of the Committee is to treat all equally qualified nominees in the same manner. The Committee may identify prospective director candidates from any

qualifications, must possess at least the following specific minimum qualifications: (i)&nbsp;a nominee shall have at least five years&#146; experience in either investment management, economics, public accounting or Australian business; (ii)&nbsp;a
nominee shall have a college undergraduate or graduate degree in economics, finance, business administration, accounting or engineering, or a professional degree in law, engineering, or medicine, from an accredited university or college in the

directors. Stockholders who intend to propose potential director candidates must substantiate compliance with these requirements. The Fund&#146;s Board of Directors recently amended the Fund&#146;s bylaws in December 2008, with such enhancements
including the information requirements set forth in the advance notice provisions, as well as a change to the notice period for stockholder nominations. Beginning with the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, notice of stockholder proposals must be

any non-audit services to any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Fund&#146;s Investment Manager or the Fund&#146;s Investment Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund (&#147;Service Affiliates&#148;).<B>

Investment Adviser and Service Affiliates during the period of the Auditor&#146;s engagement to provide audit services to the Fund, if those services directly impact the Fund&#146;s operations and financial reporting. Audit services include those
typically associated with the annual audit such as evaluation of internal controls. Non-audit services include (i)&nbsp;certain services that are audit-related, such as consultations regarding financial accounting and reporting standards and
confirmations required under the terms of the Fund&#146;s AMPS, and (ii)&nbsp;tax services. Certain services may not be provided by the Auditor to the Fund or to the Fund&#146;s Service Affiliates without jeopardizing the Auditor&#146;s
independence. These services are deemed prohibited services and include certain management functions; human resources services; broker-dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; legal services; and expert services unrelated to the
audit. Other services are conditionally prohibited and may be provided if the Audit and Valuation Committee reasonably concludes that the results of the services will not be subject to audit procedures during an audit of the client&#146;s financial
statements. These types of services include bookkeeping; financial information systems design and implementation; appraisal or valuation services; actuarial services; and internal audit outsourcing services. </FONT></P> <P

year and approval of the engagement by at least a majority of the Fund&#146;s Independent Directors. In determining whether to engage the Auditor for its audit services, the Audit and Valuation Committee will consider the Auditor&#146;s proposed
fees for the engagement, in light of the scope and nature of the audit services that the Fund will receive. The Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures also permit the Audit and Valuation Committee to pre-approve the provisions of types or categories
of permissible non-audit services for the Fund and its Service Affiliates on an annual basis at the time of the Auditor&#146;s engagement and on a project-by-project basis. At the time of the annual engagement of the Fund&#146;s Auditor, the Audit
and Valuation Committee is to receive a list of the categories of expected non-audit services with a description and an estimated budget of fees. In its pre-approval, the Audit and Valuation Committee should determine that the provision of the
service is consistent with, and will not impair, the ongoing independence of the Auditor and set any limits on fees or other conditions it finds appropriate. Non-audit services may also be approved on a project-by-project basis by the Audit and
Valuation Committee consistent with the same standards for determination and information. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Audit and Valuation
