Distribution Policy

Each Fund adheres to a distribution strategy aiming to provide steady payouts primarily from current income, bolstered by realized capital gains and, if necessary, from paid-in capital. However, due to the complexities of U.S. tax regulations, the full character of distributable income can only be confirmed at the fiscal year’s end.

Important Considerations

The reported distributions should be viewed as estimates and are not finalized for tax purposes until the fiscal year's conclusion. The funds' performance and returns fluctuate based on market conditions and the particular circumstances of each fund’s operations. Consequently, the value at which closed-end funds trade is influenced by market forces beyond the control of Aberdeen's Board or Investment Advisors.

Investors should remain vigilant about the distinctions between investment performance and distribution amounts, particularly regarding dividends that might appear as returns of capital — a potential sign of overspending the fund's income or capital gains.

Further advisement from tax professionals is recommended, as specific tax implications may vary significantly from one investor to another. This announcement reflects only a snapshot of distribution characteristics and should not be taken as a full representation of past or future performance.

For additional details regarding the specifics of the Funds and their distributions, shareholders can monitor the updates provided through official communications from Aberdeen Investments.
