American Marconi Wireless News - abrdn Emerging Markets Ex-China Fund, Inc. (AEF) Announces Distribution Payment Details

As announced in December 2024, as part of the strategic changes, the Board approved an increase to its annualized distribution rate from 6.5% to 10%. The quarterly distributions will continue to be based on the average daily net asset value ("NAV") for the previous three months as of the month-end prior to declaration. The Fund intends to maintain the increased distribution rate for at least the next 12 months, unless there is a significant and unforeseen change in market conditions. This policy will be subject to regular review by the Board. The policy is expected to provide a steady and sustainable quarterly cash distribution to Fund shareholders that may help reduce any discount to NAV at which the Fund's shares trade. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve these results.

At the end of each calendar year, a Form 1099-DIV will be sent to shareholders, which will state the amount and composition of the Fund's distributions and provide information with respect to their appropriate tax treatment for the prior calendar year. The Fund's distribution policy is subject to modification by the respective Board of Directors at any time, and there can be no guarantee that the policy will continue. You should not draw any conclusions about any of these Funds' investment performance from the amount of the distributions.
