The Board of Directors has adopted a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter,Charter. a current copy of which is attachedwas included as an appendix to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A.the Fund’s proxy statement in 2008. The members of the Fund’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Messrs. P. Gerald Malone, Neville J. Miles and E. Duff Scott.William J. Potter.

The Committee will consider potential director candidates recommended by Fund stockholders provided that: (i) the proposed candidates satisfy the director qualification requirements set forth in the Fund’s bylaws, and (ii) in addition to the procedures and requirements

1216

as are set forth in the Fund’s bylaws, the nominating stockholders comply with the Fund’s Policies for Consideration of Board Member Candidates Submitted by Fund Stockholders (the “Stockholder Nomination Policies”), a copy of which may be obtained from the Fund, by writing to Aberdeen Asset Management Inc., the Fund’s investor relations services provider, at 1735 Market Street, 37^th Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19103, or by sending an e-mail to Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. at InvestorRelations@aberdeen-asset.com. The Stockholder Nomination Policies provide certain conditions that stockholder nominees must meet in order to be eligible for consideration by the Committee. The Stockholder Nomination Policies provide eligibility guidelines for stockholder nominees that take into account, among other things, the relationship between the nominating stockholder and the nominee. The Stockholder Nomination Policies also require nominating stockholders to meet certain qualifications with respect to their ownership of the Fund and certain regulatory reporting requirements. Finally, the Stockholder Nomination Policies impose certain procedural requirements for any stockholder submitting a nomination to the Committee. Other than compliance with the preceding requirements, the Committee will not otherwise 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 reasonable source and has the ability to engage third-party search services for the identification and evaluation of potential nominees.

The Fund’s bylaws (Article III, Section 2(c)) contain provisions regarding minimum qualifications for directors. These include a requirement that, to qualify as a nominee for a directorship, each candidate, at the time of nomination, other than persons who were directors at the time of the adoption of the minimum qualifications, must possess at least the following specific minimum qualifications: (i) a nominee shall have at least five years’ experience in either investment management, economics, public accounting or Australian business; (ii) 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 United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada or New Zealand, or the equivalent degree from an equivalent institution of higher learning in another country; and (iii) a nominee shall not have violated any provision of the U.S. federal or state securities laws, or comparable laws of another country.

The Fund’s bylaws (Article II, Section 11) also contain advance notice provisions and general procedures with respect to the submission of proposals, including the nomination of directors. Stockholders recommendingwho intend to propose potential director candidates must substantiate compliance with these requirements. The Fund’s Board of Directors recently amended the Fund’s bylaws in December 2008, with such enhancements including the information requirements atset forth in the time of submitting their proposed director candidateadvance notice provisions, as well as a change to the attentionnotice period for stockholder nominations. Beginning with the 2010 Annual Meeting of the Fund’s Secretary. NoticeStockholders, notice of stockholder proposals must be provided to the Fund’s Secretary should be provided in accordance withnot earlier than the deadline specified in150^th day and not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the 120^th day prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s proxy statement.

Communications with the Board of Directors

Stockholders who wish to communicate with Board members with respect to matters relating to the Fund may address their written correspondence to the Board as a whole or to individual Board members c/o Aberdeen Asset Management Inc., the Fund’s investor relations services provider, at 1735 Market Street, 37^th Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19103, or may send e-mail correspondence to the Director(s) c/o Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. at InvestorRelations@aberdeen-asset.com.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

Generally, in the event that any of the Fund’s Directors are geographically close to the site of an annual meeting of stockholders at the time of such meeting, one or more of such Directors will attend the meeting. However, since a majority of the Fund’s Directors reside outside of the United States, the Fund recognizes that it would be impractical for most Directors to attend such meetings and would create a significant expense for the Fund. In light of the fact that the residences of most Directors are substantial distances from the location of the annual meetings of stockholders and that, historically, few stockholders have attended annual meetings in person, the Fund has not established a policy with respect to Director attendance at annual meetings of stockholders. No Directors attended the 20072008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Compensation of Directors and Officers

The following table sets forth information regarding compensation of Directors by the Fund and by the Fund Complex of which the Fund is a part for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007.2008. Officers of the Fund and Directors who are interested persons of the Fund do not receive any compensation directly from the Fund or any other fund in the Fund Complex for performing their duties as officers or Directors, respectively.

Each Independent Director of the Fund receives a retainer fee of $19,000 per year and a fee of $1,500$2,000 per meeting for attendance at Board meetings. In addition, the Chairman of the Board receives a fee of $10,000$12,000 per year; the Chairman of the Contract Review Committee receives a fee of $5,000 per year; and the Chairman of the Audit and Valuation Committee receives a fee of $5,000 per year. There are no per meeting fees for attendance at meetings of the Board’s standing committees (Contract Review Committee, Audit and Valuation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee). Members of ad hoc committees of the Board receive a fee of $500 per meeting attended and the Chairman of each ad hoc committee receives an additional fee of $500 per meeting attended. However, the fees for attendance at ad hoc committee meetings may be less than $500 per meeting, in certain instances where committee meetings are held jointly with committee meetings of other funds in the same Fund Complex. At the December 2007 Board of Directors meeting, the Board, based upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, approved, effective as of January 1, 2008, an increase in the attendance fee for Board meetings from $1,500 per meeting to $2,000 per meeting, and an increase in the additional annual retainer receivable by the Chairman of the Board from $10,000 to $12,000.

Other than as set forth in the table above, PwC billed $14,500 and $13,400 in non-audit fees forFor the fiscal yearsyear ended October 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006, respectively.

The Fund’s Audit and Valuation Committee has adopted Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures pursuant to which the Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services provided by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm (“Auditor”) and any non-audit services provided by the Auditor to the Fund’s Investment Manager, Investment Adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Fund’s Investment Manager or the Fund’s Investment Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund (“Service AffiliatesAffiliates”) during the period of the Auditor’s engagement to provide audit services to the Fund, if those services directly impact the Fund’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) certain services that are audit-related, such as consultations regarding financial accounting and reporting standards and confirmations required under the terms of the Fund’s AMPS, and (ii) tax services. Certain services may not be provided by the Auditor to the Fund or to the Fund’s Service Affiliates without jeopardizing the Auditor’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’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.

The Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures require Audit and Valuation Committee approval of the engagement of the Auditor for each fiscal year and approval of the engagement by at least a majority of the Fund’s Independent Directors. In determining whether to engage the Auditor for its audit services, the Audit and Valuation Committee will consider the Auditor’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’s engagement and on a project-by-project basis. At the time of the annual engagement of the Fund’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.

21

---

The Audit and Valuation Committee may also appoint a Designated Member of the Committee to pre-approve non-audit services that have not been pre-approved or material changes in the nature or cost of any non-audit services previously pre-approved. Any actions by the Designated Member are to be ratified by the Audit and Valuation Committee by the time of its next regularly scheduled meeting. The Fund’s Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures are to be reviewed annually by the Audit and Valuation Committee and the Fund maintains a record of the decisions made by the Committee pursuant to those procedures.
