Managed Distribution Policy (unaudited)
The Board of Directors of the Fund has authorized a managed distribution policy (MDP) of paying monthly distributions at an annual rate set once a year. It is the Boards intention that a monthly distribution of $0.035 per share be maintained for 12 months beginning with the June 30, 2015 distribution payment. With each distribution, the Fund will issue a notice to shareholders and an accompanying press release which will provide detailed information regarding the amount and composition of the distribution and other information required by the Funds MDP exemptive order. The Funds Board of Directors may amend or terminate the MDP at any time without prior notice to shareholders; however, at this time, there are no reasonably foreseeable circumstances that might cause the termination of the MDP. You should not draw any conclusions about the Funds investment performance from the amount of distributions or from the terms of the Funds MDP.
Distribution Disclosure Classification (unaudited)
The Funds policy is to provide investors with a stable monthly distribution out of current income, supplemented by realized capital gains and, to the extent necessary, paid-in capital.
The Fund is subject to U.S. corporate, tax and securities laws. Under U.S. tax rules, the amount applicable to the Fund and character of distributable income for each fiscal period depends on the actual exchange rates during the entire year between the U.S. Dollar and the currencies in which Fund assets are denominated and on the aggregate gains and losses realized by the Fund during the entire year.
Therefore, the exact amount of distributable income for each fiscal year can only be determined as of the end of the Funds fiscal year, October 31. Under Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), the Fund is required to indicate the sources of certain distributions to shareholders. The estimated distribution composition may vary from month to month because it may be materially impacted by future income, expenses and realized gains and losses on securities and fluctuations in the value of the currencies in which the Funds assets are denominated.
Based on generally accepted accounting principles, the Fund estimates that distributions for the fiscal year commenced November 1, 2014, through the distributions declared on May 11, 2015 and June 9, 2015, consisted of 60% net investment income and 40% return of capital.
In January 2016, a Form 1099-DIV will be sent to shareholders, which will state the amount and composition of distributions and provide information with respect to their appropriate tax treatment for the 2015 calendar year.

Computershare Trust Company, N.A., (Computershare) the Funds transfer agent, sponsors and administers a Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan), which is available to shareholders.

Returns represent past performance. Total investment return at net asset value (NAV) is based on changes in the NAV of Fund shares and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any, at market prices pursuant to the dividend reinvestment program sponsored by the Funds transfer agent. All return data at NAV includes investment management fees, administrative fees (such as Director and legal fees) and custodial charges. Total investment return at market value is based on changes in the market price at which the Funds shares traded on the NYSE MKT during the period and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any, at market prices pursuant to the dividend reinvestment program sponsored by the Funds transfer agent. The Funds total return is based on the reported NAV on each annual period end. Because the Funds shares trade in the stock market based on investor demand, the Fund may trade at a price higher or lower than its NAV. Therefore, returns are calculated based on both market price and NAV. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions received from the Fund. The current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the figures shown. The Funds yield, return, market price and NAV will fluctuate. Performance information current to the most recent month-end is available at www.aberdeenfax.com or by calling 800-522-5465.
The net operating expense ratio based on the six months ended April 30, 2015 is 2.08%. The net operating expense ratio, excluding interest expense, and distributions to Series A Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares, based on the six months ended April 30, 2015 is 1.11%.

Financial Highlights (concluded)
(a) | Based on average shares outstanding. |
(b) | Total investment return based on market value is calculated assuming that shares of the Funds common stock were purchased at the closing market price as of the beginning of the period, dividends, capital gains, and other distributions were reinvested as provided for in the Funds dividend reinvestment plan and then sold at the closing market price per share on the last day of the period. The computation does not reflect any sales commission investors may incur in purchasing or selling shares of the Fund. The total investment return based on the net asset value is similarly computed except that the Funds net asset value is substituted for the closing market value. |
(c) | The total return shown above includes the impact of financial statement rounding of the NAV per share and/or financial statement adjustments. |
(d) | Ratios calculated on the basis of income, expenses and preferred share dividends applicable to both the common and preferred shares relative to the average net assets of common shareholders. For the six months ended April 30, 2015 and each of the years ended October 31, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010 the ratios of net investment income before preferred stock dividends to average net assets of common shareholders were 6.55%, 4.26%, 4.10%, 4.85%, 5.30% and 5.44%, respectively. |
(e) | Asset coverage ratio is calculated by dividing net assets plus the amount of any borrowings, including Series A Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares, for investment purposes by the amount of any long-term debt obligations, which includes the senior secured notes, revolving credit facility and term loans. |
(f) | Asset coverage ratio is calculated by dividing net assets plus the amount of any borrowings, including Series A Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares, for investment purposes by the amount of any borrowings. |
Amounts listed as are $0 or round to $0.
