Dear Fellow Shareholder,

Time is running short and the Special Shareholder Meeting is rapidly approaching. You recently received proxy materials requesting that you consider and approve a new investment advisory agreement with Aberdeen Asset Managers Limited and a new sub-advisory agreement with Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. and elect three new Trustees to serve as the Trustees of ACP at a Special Meeting of Shareholders, which will be held at the offices of Dechert LLP, 1095 Avenue of the Americas, 28th Floor, New York, NY, on Thursday, November 16, 2017, at 8:00 a.m. (Eastern Time).  You are receiving this REMINDER notice because you held ACP shares as of the record date and we have not received your vote.  Please help us avoid adjournments, phone calls, costs and additional mailings by promptly voting your shares.
