ABERDEEN ASIAN INCOME FUND LIMITED
(the "Company")
Result of Extraordinary General Meeting
The Board of Aberdeen Asian Income Fund Limited announces that,
at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held earlier
today, the proposed special resolutions (the "Resolutions") were
approved by Shareholders.
As a result, with effect from 1 January 2022, the Company
intends to become tax resident in the United Kingdom and join the
United Kingdom's investment trust regime in order to benefit from
the double tax treaty arrangements that the United Kingdom
currently has in place with several of the jurisdictions in which
the Company invests. For this purpose, the New Articles will be
adopted in substitution for the existing articles of association
with effect from 1 January 2022.
In addition, also with effect from 1 January 2022, the Company's
name will be changed to abrdn Asian Income Fund Limited to align
the Company's name with that of the investment manager's business,
which recently changed from Standard Life Aberdeen plc to abrdn
plc.
Defined terms have the meaning given to them in the circular
published by the Company on 20 August 2021.
Details of the number of proxy votes cast for, against and
withheld in respect of the Resolutions (which were held on a show
