IMPORTANT NOTICE

 

Re: Aberdeen Chile Fund, Inc.

 

Dear Shareholder:

 

Recently the Aberdeen Chile Fund, Inc. announced an extremely important initiative regarding the consolidation of several closed-end funds with the Aberdeen Chile Fund (the “Fund”) and a change to the investment strategy, which is described in the Fund’s proxy statement dated December 27, 2017.   This consolidation project is anticipated to result in several benefits to Fund shareholders including, among others, a lower operating expense ratio, greater secondary market liquidity, better trade execution for shareholders and possible improved premium/discount levels.

 

Following the consolidation, the Fund will commence a tender offer for its shares. It is expected that assets distributed in the tender offer, together with accrued capital gains to be distributed in 2018, will aggregate up to a maximum distribution of 50%, and not less than 40%, of the net assets of the Fund post-consolidation. For more information about the consolidation and potential benefits, please review the Fund’s proxy statement available at CH Proxy Statement.   In order to proceed with this consolidation, the Fund is required to seek consent from you.

 

It is very important that we speak to you regarding this matter.  The call will only take a few moments of your time and there is no confidential information required.  Please contact us toll-free at 1-888-288-0951 between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time Monday through Friday.  At the time of the call, please reference the number listed below. Please contact us before January 19, 2018.

 

We appreciate your consideration regarding this matter and look forward to hearing from you.

 

Sincerely yours,

 

 

Christian Pittard

President and Chief Executive Officer of the Fund
