Dear Shareholder:
We apologize for the multiple letters and phone calls you may have received regarding the Shareholder Meeting held on October 17, 2016. As one of the largest un-voted shareholders in the Aberdeen Global Natural Resources Fund your vote is crucial to the success of the meeting. While an overwhelming amount of shareholders have voted in-favor of the proposal, unfortunately due to lack of participation the meeting has been adjourned to October 31, 2016.

Shareholders have the option of voting FOR, AGAINST OR ABSTAIN in order for the shares to be represented at the upcoming meeting.
