CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT (Unaudited)

Dear Stockholders,

2015 has proven to be a mixed year for Chinese equity investors. The A share market went on something of a roller coaster ride over the last 12 months as market participants reacted to various events that shaped their expectations. This volatility is evidenced by significant fluctuations in the direction of returns of both the market and the Fund over various periods during the year.

In the one-year period ending October 31, 2015, the Fund did better than the broader market but still finished in slightly negative territory, returning -1.16%. Over the three years ended October 31, 2015, our Fund managed a healthy 9.35% average annual return.

The depreciation of the Renmimbi (“RMB”) in August was not a surprise to our investment manager who saw it as a logical move towards a more fair valuation of a currency that had been on a multi-year appreciation trajectory. However, investors who interpreted this as a competitive devaluation clearly introduced volatility to the market. Government intervention measures to shore up the equity market also caused concern among investors.

We believe that China’s continued efforts to transition to a more service-led economy, specifically the move from low cost manufacturing to higher value added industries like finance, bode well for our long term investment prospects. This structural change clearly will result in winners and losers, and companies that stand to benefit from this shift should be expected to outperform for our Fund.

Against the backdrop of an optimistic long term view, we do expect continued volatility in the market as certain events unfold. One closely followed event is the International Monetary Fund’s decision to include the RMB in the Special Drawing Rights bucket. The resulting buying of the RMB by governments worldwide will be supportive of the currency. Investors also are watching how various initiatives to open up China’s financial markets and internationalize the currency develop.

As in most cases, change represents both risk and opportunity. While the ride may be bumpy, we think that our investment manager has clearly mapped out a plan to navigate the portfolio through the volatility and take advantage of our long term investment horizon to capitalize on the opportunities that this environment presents. The investment manager’s comments in this report contain more details on some of the current positioning and strategy.

The entire Board joins me in thanking you for your support.

Sincerely,

Joe O. Rogers

Chairman

INVESTMENT MANAGER’S STATEMENT (Unaudited)

Market Review

It has been a volatile twelve months for the Greater China equity markets. The first six months saw a massive liquidity driven rally in the Chinese A-share market where the Shanghai Composite Index more than doubled, reaching a high of 5,166.35. The rally was fueled on expectations of monetary easing and supportive measures by the Chinese Government to manage the economic slowdown. At the same time, various policy announcements, such as the Local Government Financing Vehicle replacement program and the deposit insurance scheme, were regarded as significant breakthroughs on the fiscal reforms front and that further spurred investors to buy into the rally. The share prices of brokers, banks and exchanges did particularly well during this period.

The rally in China came to an abrupt halt in the middle of 2015, as the Chinese Government took measures to cool down the market on worries of the formation of a bubble. This led to a sharp correction in share prices in the domestic A-share market and the offshore markets as Chinese retail investors started selling their holdings indiscriminately. Since the correction in June, global investors have been fretting over an implosion in China as the release of poor economic data continued. China is clearly one of the biggest worries for global investors at the moment and the persistent investor unease over a hard landing has spread.

The Taiwan stock market reversed its previous technology-driven rally and saw the weakest returns over the past year among Greater China equity markets. After the launch of iPhone 6, many investors have been concerned about the maturing smartphone cycle globally, leading to poor performance of many companies along the smartphone supply chain. On the macro side, economic growth remained lackluster as the economy struggles to find the next growth driver.

To round out the twelve months, Chinese and global equity markets rebounded strongly from the recent lows, ending on a positive note.

Performance

The Fund outperformed the MSCI Golden Dragon Index (the “Benchmark”) for the year ended October 31, 2015. During this period the Fund returned -1.16% compared with -2.99% for the Benchmark.

A major part of the outperformance can be attributable to our position in Chinese companies, including high conviction names in the Chinese railway sector, life insurance space and specific China A-shares. For example, one of the top contributors for the year has been CRRC Corp., Ltd., the largest railway company in China after the merger between China CNR and China CSR. We have owned China CNR for around a year on the anticipation of rising railway infrastructure spending in China and our position played out very well in late 2014. When the share price rallied, we took advantage of the rally and trimmed the position. Another key contributor has been Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd., the second largest insurance provider in China. We like the company given its strong agency salesforce, high agency productivity and cross-selling opportunities with its own banking segment. The company is one of our key positions in the Chinese insurance space, benefiting from the rising penetration of life insurance in China.

THE CHINA FUND, INC.

INVESTMENT MANAGER’S STATEMENT (continued) (Unaudited)

Conversely, Li & Fung Ltd., a global sourcing company for many US and European firms, was the top detractor during the past year. We invested in this company after a period of share price weakness, and expected that stabilization of its business should contribute to a re-rating of the stock. We were right in terms of the investment thesis but timing-wise we were early. After its sluggish performance over the past year, we are seeing more investors revisiting this name and believe that the stock should be able to re-rate from the current level. Another area of weakness was a small cap Chinese high-end steel manufacturer, Tiangong International Co., Ltd. The company is a leader in China producing high speed steel and die steel, which are often used in the automotive, machinery manufacturing and aviation industries. We expected the company to benefit from an industrial upgrade in China. However, the weak macro environment and declining industrial production growth in China has weighed negatively on this stock.

Outlook

After the Chinese equity market rebounded in October, many people have questioned the sustainability of this recovery. The overhang is whether the extremely high volatility this summer will be repeated and we could return to a market crash. We believe this is quite unlikely. Some of the reasons for the previous wave of market volatility, such as the surge in margin finance in the China A-share market, have now eased and the pressure of forced selling is largely behind us.

The key question now is whether economic conditions will continue to worsen after three quarters of weak economic readings. Yes, the economy is weak, but everything has a price. If we look at the current valuation of Hong Kong listed Chinese stocks, many of the stocks are trading close to financial crisis levels. This means that if the economic data starts to show some signs of stabilization, and therefore beats many expectations, continued recovery in the equity market is likely. On top of this, supporting government policies should help relieve the debt burden of many highly leveraged companies and ease the pain of an economic slowdown.

Under the current economic cycle, stock selection is particularly important for investors, as many parts of the economy such as energy, steel, and asset heavy manufacturers, will suffer from the weakening macro environment. We are investing in companies that can still produce sustainable growth. We like companies within the technology, environmental protection and industrial automation areas, which look to be boosted by policy support over multiple years under the 13th Five Year Plan.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OCTOBER 31, 2015

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The China Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on April 28, 1992, and is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation which it seeks to achieve by investing primarily in equity securities (i) of companies for which the principal securities trading market is the People’s Republic of China (“China”), (ii) of companies for which the principal securities trading market is outside of China, or constituting direct equity investments in companies organized outside of China, that in both cases derive at least 50% of their revenues from goods and services sold or produced, or have at least 50% of their assets, in China and (iii) constituting direct equity investments in companies organized in China. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Use of estimates:    The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Security valuation:    Portfolio securities listed on recognized United States or foreign security exchanges are valued at the last quoted sales price in the principal market where they are traded. Listed securities with no such sales price and unlisted securities are valued at the mean between the current bid and asked prices, if any, from brokers. Short-term investments having maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost (original purchase cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount) which when combined with accrued interest approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value in good faith by or at the direction of the Board of Directors considering relevant factors, data and information including, if relevant, the market value of freely tradable securities of the same class in the principal market on which such securities are normally traded. Direct Investments, if any, are valued at fair value as determined by or at the direction of the Board of Directors based on financial and other information supplied by the Direct Investment Manager regarding each Direct Investment. Forward currency contracts are valued at the current cost of offsetting the contract. Equity linked securities are valued at fair value primarily based on the value(s) of the underlying security (or securities), which normally follows the same methodology as the valuation of securities listed on recognized exchanges.

Factors used in determining fair value may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the size of the holding, the initial cost of the security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies, the availability of quotations from broker-dealers, the availability of values of third parties other than the Investment Manager or Direct Investment Manager, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (if available), an analysis of the company’s financial statements, an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination, and the movement of the market in which they trade.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Repurchase Agreements:    In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Fund’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Realization of the collateral proceeds may be subject to costs and delays.

Securities Lending:    The Fund may lend up to 33 1/3% of the Fund’s total assets held by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) as custodian to certain qualified brokers, except those securities which the Fund or the Investment Manager specifically identifies as not being available. By lending its investment securities, the Fund attempts to increase its net investment income through the receipt of interest on the loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that might occur and any interest or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Risks of delay in recovery of the securities or even loss of rights in the collateral may occur should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Risks may also arise to the extent that the value of the collateral decreases below the value of the securities loaned. Upon entering into a securities lending transaction, the Fund receives cash or other securities as collateral in an amount equal to or exceeding 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to securities of the U.S. government or its agencies, 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to U.S. securities and 105% of the current market value of the loaned securities with respect to foreign securities. Any cash received as collateral is generally invested by State Street, acting in its capacity as securities lending agent (the “Agent”), in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Prime Portfolio. Non-cash collateral is not disclosed in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as it is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and the Fund does not have the ability to re-hypothecate those securities. A portion of the dividends received on the collateral is rebated to the borrower of the securities and the remainder is split between the Agent and the Fund.

As of October 31, 2015, the Fund had loaned securities which were collateralized by cash, short term investments, long term bonds and equities. The value of the securities on loan and the value of the related collateral were as follows:

Value of Securities		Value of Cash Collateral		Value of Non-Cash Collateral*		Total Collateral
	$39,669,593	$	21,195,809	$	20,948,025	$	42,143,834

* Fund cannot repledge or dispose of this collateral, nor does the Fund earn any income or receive dividends with respect to this collateral.

The following table presents financial instruments that are subject to enforceable netting arrangements as of October 31, 2015.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Foreign currency translations:    The records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from the disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade dates and settlement dates of security transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included in realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, as a result of changes in exchange rates.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts:    The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell currency at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into these contracts, risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The U.S. dollar value of forward currency contracts is determined using forward exchange rates provided by quotation services. Daily fluctuations in the value of such contracts are recorded as unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Such gain or loss is disclosed in the realized and unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency in the Fund’s accompanying Statement of Operations. At October 31, 2015, the Fund did not hold forward foreign currency contracts.

Option Contracts:    The Fund may purchase and write (sell) call options and put options provided the transactions are for hedging purposes and the initial margin and premiums do not exceed 5% of total assets. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the options are traded. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option contract. Such gain or loss is disclosed in the realized and unrealized gain or loss on options in the Fund’s accompanying Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales of the underlying security for a written call option, the purchase cost of the security for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.

The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Risks may also arise from an illiquid secondary market or from the inability of counter parties to meet the terms of the contract. At October 31, 2015, the Fund did not hold any option contracts.

19

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Equity-Linked Securities:    The Fund may invest in equity-linked securities such as linked participation notes, equity swaps and zero-strike options and securities warrants. Equity-linked securities currently held by the Fund are privately issued securities whose investment results are designed to correspond generally to the performance of a specified stock index or “basket” of stocks, or a single stock. Equity-linked securities may be used by the Fund to gain exposure to countries that place restrictions on investments by foreigners. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity-linked securities whose return corresponds to the performance of a foreign securities index or one or more foreign stocks, investing in equity-linked securities will involve risks similar to the risks of investing in foreign securities. In addition, the Fund bears the risk that the issuer of any equity-linked securities may default on its obligation under the terms of the arrangement with the counterparty. Equity-linked securities are often used for many of the same purposes as, and share many of the same risks with, derivative instruments. In addition, equity-linked securities may be considered illiquid.

At October 31, 2015, the Fund held equity-linked securities, in the form of warrants issued by Credit Lyonnais, Citigroup Global Markets Holdings and Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC), (the “Issuers”). Under the terms of the agreements, each warrant entitles the Fund to receive from the related Issuer an amount in U.S. dollars linked to the performance of specific equity shares. Under these agreements, the Fund has agreed to pay or provide reimbursement for any taxes imposed on the China A Share investments underlying the equity-linked securities. Non-resident corporate investors in China, such as the Issuers of the equity-linked securities, are subject to a statutory 10% withholding tax on both dividend and interest income sourced from China, absent an applicable tax treaty. During the year ended October 31, 2015, pursuant to an indemnification agreement entered into on February 28, 2007, the Fund incurred a liability to reimburse Citigroup Global Markets Holdings $2,001,458 for capital gains taxes paid related to investments in equity-linked securities from the period of November 2009 through November 2014.

Direct Investments:    The Fund may invest up to 25% of the net proceeds from its offering of its outstanding common stock in direct investments; however, the Board of Directors of the Fund has suspended additional investments in direct investments. Direct investments are generally restricted and do not have a readily available resale market. Because of the absence of any public trading market for these investments, the Fund may take longer to liquidate these positions than would be the case for publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices on these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund. Issuers whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to public disclosure and other investor protections requirements applicable to publicly traded securities. At October 31, 2015, the Fund did not hold direct investments.

Indemnification Obligations:    Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its Officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

Security transactions and investment income:    Security transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the

20

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

ex-dividend date, or, in the case of dividend income on foreign securities, on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund becomes aware of its declaration. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.

Dividend and interest income generated in Taiwan is subject to a 20% withholding tax. Stock dividends received are taxable at 20% of the par value of the stock dividends received. The Fund records the taxes paid on stock dividends as an operating expense.

Dividends and distributions:    The Fund intends to distribute to its stockholders, at least annually, substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains. Distributions to stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Certain capital accounts in the financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences in order to reflect their tax character. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or net asset value per share. Temporary differences which arise from recognizing certain items of income, expense, gain or loss in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes will reverse at some time in the future. Unless the Board of Directors elects to make distributions in shares of the Fund’s common stock, the distributions will be paid in cash, except with respect to stockholders who have elected to participate in the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan.

Federal Taxes:    It is the Fund’s policy to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (“Code”) and to distribute to stockholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. As of and during the period ended October 31, 2015, the Fund did not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. For the tax years ending October 31, 2012, October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2014, the Fund remains subject to examination by the Fund’s major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the State of Maryland. The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by governments of countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Fund accrues and applies such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or gains are earned.

The tax character of distributions the Fund made during the year ended October 31, 2015, was $4,676,381 from ordinary income and $54,368,026 from long-term capital gains. For the year ended October 31, 2014, the Fund distributed $6,879,707 from ordinary income and $45,090,537 from long-term capital gains.

Tax components of distributable earnings are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from the composition of net assets reported under GAAP. Accordingly, for the year ended October 31, 2015, the effects of certain differences were reclassified. The Fund decreased undistributed net investment income by $656,592 and increased accumulated net realized gain by $656,592. These differences were primarily due to the differing tax treatment of foreign currency. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications and the calculation of net investment income per share in the Financial Highlights excludes these adjustments.

21

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

As of October 31, 2015, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were $10,185,434 of undistributed ordinary income and $13,270,001 of undistributed capital gains, the Fund also had $3,150,152 of net unrealized depreciation on investments and currency, resulting in a total accumulated earnings of $20,305,283. Permanent book/tax differences relate to foreign currency gains and losses.

At October 31, 2015, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $333,751,084. Gross unrealized appreciation of investments was $38,448,817 while gross unrealized depreciation of investments was $41,535,120, resulting in net unrealized depreciation of investments of $3,086,303.

NOTE B — ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (“AllianzGI U.S.”) is the Investment Manager for the Fund’s listed assets (the “Listed Assets”). AllianzGI U.S. receives a fee, computed weekly and payable monthly, at the following annual rates: 0.70% of the first US$315 million of the Fund’s average weekly net assets invested in Listed Assets; and 0.50% of the Fund’s average weekly net assets invested in Listed Assets in excess of US$315 million. For the year ended October 31, 2015, the Listed Assets investment management fee rate was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.68% of the Fund’s average weekly net assets. AllianzGI U.S. is the Investment Manager for the Fund’s direct investments. AllianzGI U.S. receives a fee computed weekly and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 1.50% of the average weekly value of the Fund’s assets invested in direct investments, if any. For the year ended October 31, 2015, the Investment Manager was paid no fees for direct investments as the Fund held no such investments during the period.

No director, officer or employee of the Investment Manager or Direct Investment Manager or any affiliates of those entities will receive any compensation from the Fund for serving as an officer or director of the Fund. The Fund pays the Chairman of the Board and each of the directors (who is not a director, officer or employee of the Investment Manager or Direct Investment Manager or any affiliate thereof) an annual fee of $35,000 and $20,000 respectively, plus $3,000 for each Board of Directors’ meeting or Audit and Nominating Committee meeting attended, $3,000 for each telephonic meeting attended. In addition, the Fund will reimburse each of the directors for travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending Board of Directors’ meetings.

The Fund pays State Street a fee that is calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate based on aggregate average daily assets of the Fund. The Fund also pays State Street an annual fee for certain legal administration services, including corporate secretarial services and preparing regulatory filings.

The Fund has also contracted with State Street to provide custody and fund accounting services to the Fund. For these services, the Fund pays State Street asset-based fees that vary according to the number of positions and transactions plus out-of-pocket expenses.

NOTE C — FUND SHARES

NOTE G — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Fund has adopted fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;

• Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;

• Level 3 — Inputs that are unobservable.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2015 in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at value:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT

REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and The Board of Directors of

The China Fund, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of The China Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”), as of October 31, 2015 and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the period ended October 31, 2011 have been audited by other auditors whose report dated December 23, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on such financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or through other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were unable to be obtained. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The China Fund, Inc. as of October 31, 2015, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS:

SUMMARY OF DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND CASH PURCHASE PLAN

The Fund will distribute to stockholders, at least annually, substantially all of its net investment income from dividends and interest earnings and expects to distribute any net realized capital gains annually. Pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the “Plan”), adopted by the Fund, each stockholder will automatically be a participant (a “Participant”) in the Plan unless Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the Plan Agent, is otherwise instructed by the stockholder in writing, to have all distributions, net of any applicable U.S. withholding tax, paid in cash. Stockholders who do not participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check in U.S. dollars mailed directly to the stockholder by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as paying agent. Stockholders who do not wish to have distributions automatically reinvested should notify the Fund by contacting Computershare Trust Company, N.A. c/o The China Fund, Inc. at P.O. Box 43078, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-3078, by telephone at 1-800-426-5523 or via the Internet at www.computershare.com/investor.

The Plan will operate whenever a dividend or distribution is declared payable only in cash or in cash or shares of the Fund’s common stock, but it will not operate with respect to a dividend or distribution declared payable only in shares of the Fund’s common stock (including such a declaration that provides an option to receive cash).

Computershare Trust Company, N.A (“Computershare” or the “Plan Agent”) act as Plan Agent. If the Directors of the Fund declare an income dividend or a capital gains distribution payable either in the Fund’s Common Stock or in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive Common Stock. The shares of common stock issued by the Fund will be valued at net asset value or, if the net asset value is less than 95% of the market price on the valuation date, then shares will be valued at 95% of the market price. If the net asset value per share of the common stock on the valuation date exceeds the market price, participants will be issued shares at market price. The valuation date will be the dividend or distribution payment date or, if that date is not a trading day on the exchange on which the Fund’s shares are then listed, the next preceding trading day. If the Fund should declare a dividend or capital gains distribution payable only in cash, the Plan Agent will, as purchasing agent for the participants, buy shares of common stock in the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere, with the cash in respect of such dividend or distribution, for the participant’s accounts on, or shortly after, the payment date.

Participants in the Plan have the option of making additional payments to the Plan Agent annually, in any amount from $100 to $3,000 for investment in the Fund’s Common Stock. The Plan Agent will use all funds received from participants (as well as any dividends and capital gains distributions received in cash) to purchase Fund shares in the open market on January 15 of each year or the next trading day if January 15th is not a trading day. Participants may make voluntary cash payments by sending a check (in U.S. dollars and drawn on a U.S. Bank) made payable to “Computershare” along with a completed transaction form which is attached to each statement a Participant receives. The Plan Agent will not accept cash, traveler’s checks, money orders or third party checks. Any voluntary cash payments received more than thirty-five days prior to such date will be returned by the Plan Agent, and interest will not be paid on any such amounts. To avoid unnecessary cash accumulations, and also to allow ample time for receipt and processing by the Plan Agent, participants should send in voluntary cash payments to be received by the Plan Agent approximately two days before January 15. A participant may withdraw a voluntary cash payment by written notice, if the notice is received by the Plan Agent not less than 48 hours before such payment is to be invested. In the event that a Participant’s check for a voluntary cash payment is returned unpaid for any reason, the

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS:

SUMMARY OF DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND CASH PURCHASE PLAN (continued)

Plan Agent will consider the request for investment of such funds null and void, and shall immediately remove from the Participant’s account those shares, if any, purchased upon the prior credit of such funds. The Plan Agent shall be entitled to sell shares to satisfy any uncollected amount plus any applicable fees. If the net proceeds of the sale of such shares are insufficient to satisfy the balance of such uncollected amounts, the Plan Agent shall be entitled to sell such additional shares from the Participant’s account as may be necessary to satisfy the uncollected balance.

The Plan Agent will confirm in writing, each trade for a Participant’s account and each share deposit or share transfer promptly after the account activity occurs. The statement will show the number of shares held, the number of shares for which dividends are being reinvested, any cash received for purchase of shares, the price per share for any purchases or sales, and any applicable fees for each transaction charged the Participant. In the event the only activity in a Participant’s account is the reinvestment of dividends, this activity will be confirmed in a statement on at least a quarterly basis. If the Fund pays an annual dividend and the only activity in a Participant’s account for the calendar year is the reinvestment of such dividend, the Participant will receive an annual statement. These statements are a Participant’s continuing record of the cost basis of purchases and should be retained for income tax purposes.

The Plan Agent will hold shares of common stock acquired pursuant to the Plan in non-certificated form in the name of the Participant for whom such shares are being held and each Participant’s proxy will include those shares of common stock held pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Agent will forward to each Participant any proxy solicitation material received by it. In the case of stockholders, such as banks, brokers or nominees, which hold shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Agent will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of shares certified from time to time by the stockholder as representing the total amount registered in the name of such Participants and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan. Upon a Participant’s Internet, telephone or written request, the Plan Agent will deliver to her or him, without charge, a certificate or certificates representing all full shares of common stock held by the Plan Agent pursuant to the Plan for the benefit of such Participant.

Participants will not be charged a fee in connection with the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions. The Plan Agent’s transaction fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be paid by the Fund. However, Participants will be charged a per share fee (currently $0.05) incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions and with purchases from voluntary cash payments made by the Participant. A $2.50 transaction fee and a per share fee of $0.15 will also be charged by the Plan Agent upon any request for sale. Per share fees include any brokerage commissions the Plan Agent is required to pay.

The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any income tax which may be payable on such dividends and distributions. Participants will receive tax information annually for their personal records and to help them prepare their federal income tax return. For further information as to tax consequences of participation in the Plan, Participants should consult with their own tax advisors.

These terms and conditions may be amended or supplemented by the Plan Agent or the Fund at any time or times but, except when necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or the rules or policies of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory authority, only by mailing to the Stockholders appropriate

written notice at least 30 days prior to the effective date thereof. The amendment or supplement shall de deemed to be accepted by the Participants unless, prior to the effective date thereof, the Plan Agent receives written notice of the termination of a Participant’s account under the Plan. Any such amendment may include an appointment by the Plan Agent in its place and stead of a successor Plan Agent under these terms and conditions, with full power and authority to perform all or any of the acts to be performed by the Plan Agent under these terms and conditions. Upon any such appointment of a successor Plan Agent for the purposes of receiving dividends and distributions, the Fund will be authorized to pay to such successor Plan Agent, for the Participants’ accounts, all dividends and distributions payable on the shares of common stock held in the Participants’ name or under the Plan for retention or application by such successor Plan Agent as provided in these terms and conditions.

Requests for copies of the Plan, which sets forth all of the terms of the Plan, and all correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the Plan Agent for The China Fund, Inc., in writing at P.O. Box 43078, Providence, Rhode Island, 02940-3078, by telephone at 1-800-426-5523 or via the Internet at www.computershare.com/investor.

Ms. Chung’s simultaneous management of the Fund and the other accounts noted above may present actual or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to the allocation and aggregation of securities orders placed on behalf of the Fund and the other accounts. AGI has adopted procedures and methodology to demonstrate effective conflict management. It believes that sufficient controls, policies and systems are in place to address such conflicts.

Its suite of compliance and investment policies are designed to address those practices within AGI that could cause conflicts of interest across all client funds. The firm has policies, systems and controls in place to identify potential conflicts between itself and its clients, as well as between one client and another, to achieve consistent treatment of conflicts of interest throughout its business. It aims to manage conflicts of interest that may arise with an aim, as far as practicable, that such conflicts do not adversely affect the interests of its clients.

AGI reviews its internal policies regularly and will notify clients of any material changes, as and when they occur.

Compensation:

AGI’s compensation system is designed to support its corporate values and culture. While it acknowledges the importance of financial incentives and seek to pay top quartile remuneration for top quartile performance, it also believes that compensation is only one of a number of critically important elements that allow the emergence of a strong, winning culture that attracts, retains and motivates talented investors and teams.

The primary components of compensation are the base salary and an annual discretionary variable compensation payment. This variable compensation component typically comprises a cash bonus that pays out immediately as well as a deferred component, for members of staff whose variable compensation exceeds a certain threshold. The deferred component for most recipients would be a notional award of the Long Term Incentive Programme (LTIP); for members of staff whose variable compensation exceeds an additional threshold, the deferred compensation is itself split 50%/50% between the aforementioned LTIP and a Deferral into Funds programme (DIF). Currently, the marginal rate of deferral of the variable compensation can reach 50% for those in the highest variable compensation bracket. Overall awards, splits and components are regularly reviewed to ensure they meet industry best practice and, where applicable, at a minimum comply with regulatory standards.

Base salary typically reflects scope, responsibilities and experience required in a particular role, be it on the investment side or any other function in our company. Base compensation is regularly reviewed against peers with the help of compensation survey data. Base compensation is typically a greater percentage of total compensation for more junior positions, while for the most senior roles it will be a comparatively small component, often capped and only adjusted every few years.

Discretionary variable compensation is primarily designed to reflect the achievements of an individual against set goals, over a certain time period. For an investment professional these goals will typically be 70% quantitative and 30% qualitative. The former will reflect a weighted average of investment performance over a three-year rolling time period (one-year (25%) and three year (75%) results) and the latter reflects contributions to broader team goals, contributions made to client review meetings, product development or product refinement initiatives. Portfolio managers have their performance metric aligned with the benchmarks of the client portfolios they manage.

The LTIP element of the variable compensation, cliff vests three years after each (typically annual) award. Its value is directly tied to the operating result of AGI over the three year period of the award.

The DIF element of the variable compensation, cliff vests three years after each (typically annual) award and enables these members of staff to invest in a range of AGI funds (Investment Professionals are encouraged to invest into their own funds or funds where they may be influential from a research or product group relationship perspective). Again, the value of the DIF awards is determined by the growth of the fund(s) value over the three year period covering each award.

Assuming an annual deferral of 33% over a three year period, a typical member of staff will have roughly one year’s variable compensation (3x33%) as a deferred component ‘in the bank.’ Three years after the first award, and for as long as deferred components were awarded without break, cash payments in each year will consist of the annual cash bonus for that current year’s performance as well as a pay-out from LTIP/DIF commensurate with the prior cumulative three-year performance.

There exist a small number of revenue sharing arrangements that generate variable compensation for specialist investment teams, as well as commission payments for a limited number of members of staff in distribution. The overwhelming majority of these payments are subject to the same deferral rules and deferred instruments as described above for the discretionary compensation scheme.

EX-99.CODEETH

Exhibit 12(a)(1)

The China Fund, Inc.

CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND

SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS

I. Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code

This Code of Conduct (the “Code”) shall apply to the China Fund, Inc.’s (the “Fund”) Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Controller, Principal Accounting Officer and persons performing similar functions (the “Covered Officers”) for the purpose of promoting:

• honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

• full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Fund files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Fund;

• compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

• the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

• accountability for adherence to the Code.

Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

II. Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

Overview. A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the interests of, or his service to, the Fund. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Fund. Covered Officers must avoid conduct that conflicts, or appears to conflict, with their duties to the Fund. All Covered Officers should conduct themselves such that a reasonable observer would have no grounds for belief that a conflict of interest exists. Covered Officers are not permitted to self-deal or otherwise to use their positions with the Fund to further their own or any other related person’s business opportunities.

This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace the programs and procedures or codes of ethics of the Fund’s investment adviser or distributor.

1

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Fund and its service providers, including investment adviser or administrator, of which the Covered Officers may be officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Fund, the investment adviser or administrator, or other service providers), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the service providers and the Fund. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Fund and its service providers and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company Act”) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Advisers Act”), such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by other codes.

The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Fund.

*    *    *    *

Each Covered Officer must not:

• use his personal influence or personal relationship improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund;

• cause the Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Fund; or

• retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Fund or its affiliated persons for reports of potential violations by the Fund of applicable rules and regulations that are made in good faith.

Each Covered Officer must discuss certain material conflict of interest situations with the Fund’s Audit Committee. Examples of such situations include:

• service as a Director, general partner, or officer of any unaffiliated business organization. This rule does not apply to charitable, civic, religious, public, political, or social organizations, the activities of which do not conflict with the interests of the Fund;

• the receipt of any non-nominal gifts;

• the receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Fund has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as raise any question of impropriety;

2

• any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Fund’s service providers, other than its investment adviser, administrator, transfer agent, custodian or any affiliated person thereof; and

• a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Fund for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

III. Disclosure and Compliance

• Each Covered Officer will monitor the compliance of the Fund and the Fund’s service providers with federal or state statutes, regulations or administrative procedures that affect the operation of the Fund.

• Each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Fund to others, whether within or outside the Fund, including to the Fund’s Board, Fund’s Audit Committee and the Fund’s independent auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulators and self-regulatory organizations.

• Each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Fund and its service providers with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Fund files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Fund.

• It is the responsibility of each covered officer to promote and encourage professional integrity in all aspects of the Fund’s operations.

IV. Reporting and Accountability

Each Covered Officer must:

• upon adoption of this Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), sign and return a report in the form of Exhibit A to the Fund’s compliance officer affirming that he or she has received, read, and understands the Code;

• annually sign and return a report in the form of Exhibit B to the Fund’s compliance officer as an affirmation that he or she has complied with the requirements of the Code; and

3

• notify the Fund’s Audit Committee promptly if he or she knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

The Fund’s Audit Committee is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation including any approvals or waivers sought by the Covered Persons.

The Audit Committee will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

• The Audit Committee will take all appropriate actions to investigate any potential violations reported to the Committee.

• If, after such investigation, the Audit Committee believes that no violation has occurred, the Audit Committee is not required to take any further action.

• Any matter that the Audit Committee believes is a violation of this Code will be reported to the full Board.

• If the Board concurs that a violation has occurred, it will notify the appropriate personnel of the applicable service provider and may dismiss the Covered Officer as an officer of the Fund.

• The Audit Committee will be responsible for granting waivers of provisions of this Code, as appropriate.

• Any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

V. Other Policies and Procedures

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Fund for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Fund, the Fund’s investment adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Fund’s, investment adviser’s and principal underwriter’s codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and the investment adviser’s more detailed policies and procedures are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

VI. Amendments

Any amendments to this Code must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of Independent Directors.

4

VII. Confidentiality

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Fund’s Board or Audit Committee.

VIII. Internal Use

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Fund and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of Fund, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.

EX-99.PROXY

Exhibit 12(a)(4)

Adopted September 12, 2003

The China Fund, Inc.

Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures

The Board of Directors of The China Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) hereby adopts the following policy and procedures with respect to voting proxies relating to Fund securities managed by Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (the “Listed Investment Manager” and the “Direct Investment Manager”, collectively the “Investment Managers”).

I. Policy

It is the policy of the Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Board”) to delegate the responsibility for voting proxies relating to securities held by the Fund to the Investment Managers as a part of the Investment Managers’ general management of the Fund’s assets, subject to the Board’s continuing oversight. The Board of Directors of the Fund hereby delegates such responsibility to the Investment Managers, and directs each Investment Manager to vote proxies relating to Fund portfolio securities managed by the Investment Manager consistent with the duties and procedures set forth below. The Investment Managers may retain one or more vendors to review, monitor and recommend how to vote proxies in a manner consistent with the duties and procedures set forth below, to ensure such proxies are voted on a timely basis and to provide reporting and/or record retention services in connection with proxy voting for the Fund.

II. Fiduciary Duty

The right to vote a proxy with respect to securities held by the Fund is an asset of the Fund. Each Investment Manager, to which authority to vote on behalf of the Fund is delegated, acts as a fiduciary of the Fund and must vote proxies in a manner consistent with the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. In discharging this fiduciary duty, each Investment Manager must maintain and adhere to its policies and procedures for addressing conflicts of interest and must vote in a manner substantially consistent with its policies, procedures and guidelines, as presented to the Board.

III. Procedures

The following are the procedures adopted by the Board for the administration of this policy:

A. Review of Investment Managers’ Proxy Voting Procedures. The Investment Managers shall present to the Board their policies, procedures and other guidelines for voting proxies at least annually, and must notify the Board promptly of material changes to any of these documents, including changes to policies addressing conflicts of interest.

B. Voting Record Reporting. Each Investment Manager shall provide the voting record information necessary for the completion and filing of Form N-PX to the Fund at least annually. Such voting record information shall be in a form acceptable to the Fund and shall be provided at such time(s) as are required for the timely filing of Form

1

Adopted September 12, 2003

N-PX and at such additional time(s) as the Fund and the Investment Manager may agree from time to time. With respect to those proxies that an Investment Manager has identified as involving a conflict of interest¹, the Investment Manager shall submit a separate report indicating the nature of the conflict of interest and how that conflict was resolved with respect to the voting of the proxy.

C. Record Retention. Each Investment Manager shall maintain such records with respect to the voting of proxies as may be required by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the rules promulgated thereunder or by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules promulgated thereunder.

D. Conflicts of Interest. Any actual or potential conflicts of interest between or an Investment Manager and the Fund’s shareholders arising from the proxy voting process will be addressed by the relevant Investment Manager and the Investment Manager’s application of its proxy voting procedures pursuant to the delegation of proxy voting responsibilities to the Investment Manager. In the event that the Investment Manager notifies the officer(s) of the Fund that a conflict of interest cannot be resolved under the Investment Manager’s Proxy Voting Procedures, such officer(s) are responsible for notifying the Chairman of the Board of the Fund of the irreconcilable conflict of interest and assisting the Chairman with any actions he determines are necessary.

IV. Revocation

The delegation by the Board of the authority to vote proxies relating to securities of the Fund is entirely voluntary and may be revoked by the Board, in whole or in part, at any time.

V. Annual Filing

The Fund shall file an annual report of each proxy voted with respect to securities of the Fund during the twelve-month period ended June 30 on Form N-PX not later than August 31 of each year.²

¹  As it is used in this document, the term “conflict of interest” refers to a situation in which the Investment Managers or affiliated persons of the Investment Managers have a financial interest in a matter presented by a proxy other than the obligation they incur as Investment Managers to the Fund which could potentially compromise the Investment Managers’ independence of judgment and action with respect to the voting of the proxy.

²  The Fund must file its first report on Form N-PX not later than August 31, 2004, for the twelve-month period beginning July 1, 2003, and ending June 30, 2004.

2

Adopted September 12, 2003

VI. Disclosures

A. The Fund shall include in its annual report filed on Form N-CSR:

1. a description of this policy and of the policies and procedures used by the Fund and the Investment Managers to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities or copies of such policies and procedures; and

2. a statement disclosing that a description of the policies and procedures used by or on behalf of the Fund to determine how to vote proxies relating to securities of the Fund is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund’s toll-free telephone number; through a specified Internet address, if applicable; and on the SEC’s website; and

3. a statement disclosing that information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to Fund securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund’s toll-free telephone number; or through a specified Internet address; or both; and on the SEC’s website.

VII. Review of Policy

The Board shall review from time to time this policy to determine its sufficiency and shall make and approve any changes that it deems necessary from time to time.

AND PROCEDURES

Proxy Voting Guidelines	Schedule A

Policy Statement

Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (“AllianzGI US”) typically votes proxies as part of its discretionary authority to manage accounts, unless a client has explicitly reserved the authority for itself. AllianzGI US exercises its proxy voting responsibilities as a fiduciary, and the proxy voting guidelines are designed to meet applicable fiduciary standards. As a result, in the cases where ALLIANZGI US has voting authority of its client proxies, AllianzGI US intends to vote such proxies in a manner consistent with the best interests of its clients.

AllianzGI US has adopted the Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy (the “Proxy Guidelines”), attached hereto as Schedule A, which are reasonably designed to ensure that we are voting in the best interest of our clients. A Proxy Committee, including portfolio management, research and legal and compliance personnel, is responsible for establishing our proxy voting policies and procedures. The Proxy Guidelines summarize our positions on various issues and give general indication as to how we will vote shares on each issue. However, this listing is not exhaustive and does not include all potential voting issues and for that reason, there may be instances when we may not vote proxies in strict adherence to the Proxy Guidelines. To the extent that the Proxy Guidelines do not cover potential voting issues or a case arises of a material conflict between our interest and those of a client with respect to proxy voting, our Proxy Committee will convene to discuss the issues. In evaluating issues, the Proxy Committee may consider information from many sources, including but not limited to our portfolio management team, our analyst responsible for monitoring the stock of the company at issue, management of a company presenting a proposal, shareholder groups, and independent proxy research services.

page 1

Voting Procedure

The voting of all proxies is conducted under the direction of the Proxy Committee consisting of representatives from the Research Department, Portfolio Management Team (PMT), Operations and/or the Legal and Compliance Department. Vote decisions are made in accordance with the Proxy Guidelines and implemented by AllianzGI US’s third party proxy services providers. In situations where the Proxy Guidelines do not give clear guidance on an issue, an analyst or portfolio manager and/or the Proxy Committee will review the issue. In the event that either the analyst or portfolio manager wishes to override the Proxy Guidelines, the proposal will be presented to the Proxy Committee for a final decision. Deviation from the Proxy Guidelines will be documented and maintained in accordance with Rule 204-2 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

AllianzGI US’s third party proxy services providers are responsible for notifying AllianzGI US of all upcoming meetings, providing a proxy analysis and vote recommendation for each proposal, verifying that all proxies are received, submitting vote instructions to the appropriate tabulator, and contacting custodian banks to request missing proxies. AllianzGI US’s third party proxy services providers also provide holdings reconciliation reports on a monthly basis, and vote summary reports for clients on a quarterly or annual basis. AllianzGI US keeps proxy materials used in the vote process onsite for at least two years.

Resolving Conflicts of Interest

AllianzGI US may have conflicts that can affect how it votes its clients’ proxies. For example, AllianzGI US may manage a pension plan whose management is sponsoring a proxy proposal. AllianzGI US may also be faced with clients having conflicting views on the appropriate manner of exercising shareholder voting rights in general or in specific situations. Accordingly, AllianzGI US may reach different voting decisions for different clients. Regardless, votes shall only be cast in the best interests of clients affected by the shareholder right. For this reason, AllianzGI US shall not vote shares held in one client’s account in a manner designed to benefit or accommodate any other client.

In order to ensure that all material conflicts of interest are addressed appropriately while carrying out its obligation to vote proxies, the Proxy Committee shall be responsible for addressing how AllianzGI US resolves such material conflicts of interest with its clients. AllianzGI US has adopted safeguards to ensure that its proxy voting is not influenced by interests other than those of its clients. For that reason, while AllianzGI US includes members from different parts of the organization on its Proxy Committee, AllianzGI US does not include individuals whose primary duties relate to client relationship management, marketing, or sales. Because AllianzGI US’s voting guidelines are predetermined and implemented through an independent third party proxy services provider, application of the guidelines to vote clients’ proxies should in most instances adequately address any possible conflicts of interest. In the event that an analyst or portfolio manager proposes a proxy vote that appears to be inconsistent with the guidelines, the Proxy Committee reviews the proposed vote to determine whether the voting rationale appears reasonable. In such cases, the Proxy Committee also assesses whether any business or other relationships between the portfolio manager or analyst and the portfolio company may be influencing the proposed vote on that company’s proxy. Issues

page 2

raising possible conflicts of interest are promptly resolved by the Proxy Committee prior to the time AllianzGI US casts its vote. With respect to personal conflicts of interest, AllianzGI US’s Code of Ethics requires all employees to conduct themselves with integrity and distinction, putting first the interests of its clients and taking care to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Portfolio managers, analysts or Proxy Committee members with a personal conflict of interest regarding a particular proxy vote must recuse themselves and not participate in the voting decisions with respect to that proxy.

Cost-Benefit Analysis Involving Voting Proxies

AllianzGI US shall review various criteria to determine whether the costs associated with voting the proxy exceeds the expected benefit to its clients and may conduct a cost-benefit analysis in determining whether it is in the best economic interest to vote client proxies. Given the outcome of the cost-benefit analysis, AllianzGI US may refrain from voting a proxy on behalf of its clients’ accounts.

The circumstances under which AllianzGI US may refrain from voting may include, but are not limited to the following: 1) proxy statements and ballots being written in a foreign language, 2) untimely notice of a shareholder meeting, 3) requirements to vote proxies in person, 4) restrictions on a foreigner’s ability to exercise votes, and 5) requirements to provide local agents with power of attorney to facilitate the voting instructions. Such proxies are voted on a best-efforts basis.

Proxy voting in certain countries requires “share blocking.” To vote proxies in such countries, shareholders must deposit their shares shortly before the date of the meeting with a designated depositary and the shares are then restricted from being sold until the meeting has taken place and the shares are returned to the shareholders’ custodian banks. Absent compelling reasons, AllianzGI US believes the benefit to its clients of exercising voting rights does not outweigh the effects of not being able to sell the shares. Therefore, if share blocking is required AllianzGI US generally abstains from voting.

AllianzGI US will not be able to vote securities on loan under securities lending arrangements into which AllianzGI US’s clients have entered. However, under rare circumstances, for voting issues that may have a significant impact on the investment, and if the client holds a sufficient number of shares to have a material impact on the vote, AllianzGI US may request that clients recall securities that are on loan if it determines that the benefit of voting outweighs the costs and potential lost revenue to the client and the administrative burden of retrieving the securities.

Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy

Preamble

The Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy are detailed as follows in the form of voting criteria, which provide a framework for analysis but are not necessarily applied systematically in the form of box-ticking. Their objective is to give a generally applicable answer for the all points, as well as indications to help each entity with regard to those voting criteria that need to be modified to reflect local corporate governance “Best Practice”. We will evaluate governance issues on a case-by-case basis, using the Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy but taking into account the variances across markets in regulatory and legal frameworks, best practices, actual market practices, and disclosure regimes (including, but not limited to, the UK Corporate Governance Code and the NAPF Corporate Governance Policy and Voting Guidelines, the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (Australia), the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, AFEP Corporate Governance Code of Listed Corporations (France), the German Corporate Governance Code, the Hong Kong Code on Corporate Governance, the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance, and the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance).

While the Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy often provide explicit guidance on how to vote proxies with regard to specific issues that appear on the ballot, they are not intended to be exhaustive. Rather, these guidelines are intended to address the most significant and frequent proxy issues that arise. Each proxy issue will be subject to rigorous analysis of the economic impact of that issue on the long-term share value. All votes shall be cast solely in the long-term interest of shareholders.

Disclaimer

The Allianz Global Investors Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy represent a set of recommendations that were agreed upon by the Global Executive Committee. These Guidelines and Policy were developed to provide Allianz Global Investors entities with a comprehensive list of recommendations that provide guidance to each Allianz Global Investors entity in determining how to vote proxies for its clients. These guidelines allow each Allianz Global Investors entity the discretion to vote proxies in accordance with local laws, standards and client requirements, as appropriate, independently of influence either directly or indirectly by parent or affiliated companies. The governance structures of each of the Allianz Global Investors legal entities allows that entity to execute proxy voting rights on behalf of clients independently of any Allianz Global Investors’ parent or affiliated company. The individuals that make proxy voting decisions are also free to act independently, subject to the normal and customary supervision by the management/boards of these legal entities and to our fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of our clients. These Guidelines and Policy represent the views and guidance of Allianz Global Investors as at the date of publication. They may be subject to change at any time. The Guidelines and Policy are for Allianz Global Investors internal guidance purposes only and are not intended to be relied upon by any third party.

Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy

Section 1: Board of Directors

1.1 Composition and Structure of the Board

1.1.1 Chairman and CEO

Allianz Global Investors believes that the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer should be separate, as there should be a clearly accepted division of responsibility at the head of the company.

1.1.2 Independence of the Board of Directors

Allianz Global Investors believes that there should be a majority of independent directors on the board, as far as legal regulations do not impose constraints on the composition of the board by law. In markets where independence of directors is currently not standard market practice, Allianz Global Investors will encourage moves towards a more independent board.

Allianz Global Investors considers independence to be an important criterion when voting for board members but will take into account other factors as well, as described elsewhere in these guidelines.

Allianz Global Investors expects companies to appoint a senior independent director, who acts as a crucial conduit for shareholders to raise issues of particular concern.

While dealing with specific corporate structures, Allianz Global Investors also considers the following points:

• State-owned companies: there should be a sufficient number of directors independent from the company and the government.

• Subsidiary of multinational organisations: there should be a sufficient number of directors independent from the group.

• Family-controlled companies should provide sufficient information, which makes the relationship of non-dependent directors to the family more transparent.

1.1.3 Competence and Experience of the Board

The board should have a requisite balance of special skills, competence, experience, and knowledge of the company and of the industry the company is active in. This should enable the directors to discharge their duties and responsibilities in an effective way.

1.1.4 Diversity of the Board

While the board members’ independence, competence, skills and experience are of high importance, the board of directors is also encouraged to have a diversified representation in terms of education, age, nationality, gender, etc.

In this respect Allianz Global Investors generally votes in favour of requests for reports on the company’s efforts to diversify the board, unless the board composition is reasonably diversified in relation to companies of similar size and industry as well as local laws and practices.

7

Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy

1.1.5 Size of the Board

Allianz Global Investors generally supports proposals requiring shareholder approval to fix or alter the size of the board. Allianz Global Investors supports boards of between four and 18 directors.

1.1.6 Classified Boards

Allianz Global Investors votes against the introduction of classified/staggered boards and supports efforts to declassify boards.

1.1.7 Age Limits and Tenure Limits

Allianz Global Investors generally does not support minimum or maximum age or tenure limits.

1.1.8 Board Committees

Allianz Global Investors believes that there should be three key committees specialising in audit, director nomination and compensation issues. Such committees constitute a critical component of corporate governance and contribute to the proper functioning of the board of directors.

The remuneration committee should be responsible for setting remuneration for all executive directors and the chairman.

In addition Allianz Global Investors strongly supports the establishment of a separate and independent risk committee responsible for supervision of risks within the company.

The members of these committees should in general be independent non-executive directors.

Any committee should have the authority to engage independent advisers where appropriate at the company’s expense.

1.1.9 Director Conflicts of Interest

Allianz Global Investors expects companies to have a process for identifying and managing conflicts of interest directors may have. Individual directors should seek to avoid situations where there might be an appearance of a conflict of interest. If a director has an interest in a matter under consideration by the board, then the director should recuse himself from those discussions.

1.2 Election of Board of Directors

1.2.1 Information on Directors

Allianz Global Investors expects companies to provide comprehensive and timely information on their directors, in order to be enabled to assess the value they provide. The company should also disclose the positions and mandates of the directors in the annual report.

8

Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy

The disclosure should include but not limited to the biographical information, information on core competencies and qualifications, professional or other background, recent and current board and management mandates at other companies, factors affecting independence as well as board and committee meetings attendance.

The list of candidates should be available in a timely manner.

While Allianz Global Investors encourages the possibility to vote for each director individually, a bundled proposition on the election (or discharge) of the directors may be considered if Allianz Global Investors is satisfied with the performance of every director. Nevertheless, sufficient information should be provided, and all the directors should fulfil also other criteria, as mentioned in 1.2.4., in such a case.

1.2.2 Term of Directors’ Contract

For executive directors, long-term incentives are considered key. Overly short-term contracts may be counterproductive in this respect. Allianz Global Investors encourages instead that the contract terms state clear performance measurement criteria, while refraining from stipulating excessive severance packages.

For non-executive directors, Allianz Global Investors generally supports minimum contract terms of three years and maximum contract terms of five years with annual approval, except when local market practices differ. In markets where shorter or longer terms are industry standard, Allianz Global Investors will consider voting against directors with terms which substantially deviate from best practice in those markets.

1.2.3 Attendance of Board and Committee Meetings

Allianz Global Investors believes that all directors should be able to allocate sufficient time and effort to the company to discharge their responsibilities efficiently. Thus, the board members should attend at least 75% of board and – in cases where directors are board committee members—committee meetings.

Allianz Global Investors expects information about attendance of the board and committee meetings to be disclosed, and will support initiatives to in this sense in markets where it is not yet standard practice.

1.2.4 Discharge of the Board

Allianz Global Investors will consider the criteria on attendance, performance, competence etc. when voting on propositions to discharge the board.

Allianz Global Investors will vote against single directors or the whole board in cases of established fraud, misstatements of accounts and other illegal acts.

1.2.5 Multiple Directorships

Allianz Global Investors believes that directors should be able to allocate sufficient time to performing their duties as board members efficiently. Therefore, Allianz Global Investors will question whether directors are able to perform their duties whilst already being members of other boards, membership on more than 6 of which is viewed as excessive if the director is not a CEO, and more than 3 of which is viewed as excessive if the director is a CEO.

9

Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy

1.2.6 Majority Voting for Directors

Allianz Global Investors believes that one of the fundamental rights shareholders have is the power to elect or remove corporate directors. Allianz Global Investors generally believes that a majority voting standard is an appropriate mechanism to provide greater board accountability.

Based on our beliefs, Allianz Global Investors would in general vote in favour of proposals that would require the implementation of a majority voting standard for elections of directors in uncontested director elections.

There should be no provisions in place that hamper modifications to the composition of the board or impede the ability to adapt quickly to changing environments.

Allianz Global Investors would support cumulative voting in case it substantially enhances minority shareholders’ rights in a particular company and has the potential to add value.

1.2.7 Shareholders Access to Board of Directors

Shareholders should be able to nominate director candidates for the board.

1.2.8 Legal Indemnification of Board Members

Allianz Global Investors will consider voting against proposals that would limit or eliminate all liability for monetary damages, for directors and officers who violate the duty of care.

Allianz Global Investors would also consider voting against proposals that would expand indemnification to cover acts, such as negligence, that are more serious violations of fiduciary obligations than mere carelessness.

If, however, a director was found to have acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed was in the best interest of the company, and if only the director’s legal expenses would be covered, Allianz Global Investors may consider voting for expanded coverage.

1.2.9 Proxy Contests

Proxy contests are among the most difficult and most crucial corporate governance decisions because an investor must attempt to determine which group is best suited to manage the company. Allianz Global Investors will vote case-by- case on proxy contests, considering the following factors:

• Past performance relative to its peers;

• Market in which fund invests;

• Measures taken by the board to address the issues;

• Past shareholder activism, board activity, and votes on related proposals;

• Strategy of the incumbents versus the dissidents;

• Independence of directors;

• Experience and skills of director candidates;

10

Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy

• Governance profile of the company;

• Evidence of management entrenchment.

1.2.10 Reimburse Proxy Solicitation Expenses

Allianz Global Investors will vote case-by-case on proposals to reimburse proxy solicitation expenses. When voting in conjunction with support of a dissident slate, Allianz Global Investors will support the reimbursement of all appropriate proxy solicitation expenses associated with the election.

Allianz Global Investors will generally support shareholder proposals calling for the reimbursement of reasonable costs incurred in connection with nominating one or more candidates in a contested election where the following apply:

• The election of fewer than 50% of the directors to be elected is contested in the election;

• One or more of the dissident’s candidates is elected;

• Shareholders are not permitted to cumulate their votes for directors; and

• The election occurred, and the expenses were incurred, after the adoption of this bylaw.

11

Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy

Section 2: Remuneration and Benefits

2.1 Executive and Director Compensation

2.1.1 Compensation of Executive Directors and Senior Managers

Compensation should contain both a short-term and long-term element, which fully aligns the executive with shareholders and where superior awards can only be achieved by attaining truly superior performance.

Allianz Global Investors believes that executive directors should be encouraged to receive a certain percentage of their salary in form of company stock. Therefore Allianz Global Investors would generally support the use of reasonably designed stock-related compensation plans, including appropriate deferrals.

Each director’s share option schemes should be clearly explained and fully disclosed (including exercise prices, expiry dates and the market price of the shares at the date of exercise) to both shareholders and participants, and should be subject to shareholder approval. They should also take into account appropriate levels of dilution. Overall, share options plans should be structured in a way to reward above-median performance.

Allianz Global Investors would generally vote against equity award plans or amendments that are too dilutive and expensive to existing shareholders, may be materially altered (cancellation and re-issue, re-testing and especially re-pricing of options, or the backdating of options) without shareholder approval, allow management significant discretion in granting certain awards, or are otherwise inconsistent with the interests of shareholders.

2.1.2 Performance Measurement and Disclosure of Performance Criteria and Achievement

Allianz Global Investors reserves the right to vote against boards or individual directors if performance has been significantly unsatisfactory for a prolonged time.

For performance measurement different criteria should be taken into consideration:

• The management goals should be linked to the mid- and long-term goals of the company.

• It is not sensible to define companies’ performance by only one dimension or key indicator (such as EPS). Therefore, a healthy mixture of various indicators should be considered.

• A very important criterion is the sustainability of companies’ performance. Social, environmental and governance issues should be integrated into the companies’ performance measurement to the degree possible.

• Performance measurement should incorporate risk considerations so that there are no rewards for taking inappropriate risks at the expense of the company and its shareholders.

• Performance should be measured over timescales which are sufficient to determine that value has in fact been added for the company and its shareholders.

The performance criteria used by the companies as well as their achievement should be disclosed to the shareholders.

12

Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy

2.1.3 Compensation of Non-Executive Directors

Allianz Global Investors believes that compensation for non-executive directors should be structured in a way which aligns their interests with the long-term interests of the shareholders, does not compromise their independence from management or from controlling shareholders of the company and does not encourage excessive risk-taking behaviour.

In particular the following elements should be taken into account:

• Compensation should be in line with industry practice, with no performance link.

• The amount of time and effort that the directors can invest in the company, given other directorships they may have.

2.1.4 Remuneration Committee and “Say on Pay”

Any remuneration policy should be determined by independent remuneration committees, be transparent and fully disclosed (to shareholders for every executive and non-executive director) in a separate Remuneration Report within the Annual Report. In markets for which proposals to approve the company’s remuneration policy or the company’s Remuneration Report, Allianz Global Investors will evaluate such proposals on a case-by-case basis, taking into account RCM’s approach to executive and non-executive director compensation as described elsewhere in these guidelines.

In the US market, the Dodd-Frank Act requires advisory votes on pay (MSOP), and requires that the proxy for the first annual or other meeting of the shareholders occurring after the enactment includes vote item to determine going forward, the frequency of the say-on-pay vote by shareholders to approve compensation.

Allianz Global Investors will support annual advisory votes on compensation, which provide the most consistent and clear communication channel for shareholder concerns about companies’ executive pay programs.

Allianz Global Investors encourages companies to increase transparency in this respect, and furthermore in general supports moves to empower shareholders with regard to having a say on the remuneration policy.

Allianz Global Investors pays close attention to perquisites, including pension arrangements, and will vote against them if deemed excessive.

2.1.5 Special Provisions

Special provisions whereby additional payment becomes due in the event of a change of control are an inappropriate use of shareholder funds and should be discouraged.

Transaction bonuses, executive severance agreements, poison pills or other retrospective ex-gratia payments should be subject to shareholder approval and should not be excessive.

13

Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy

Allianz Global Investors believes that clawbacks should be used in order to better align long-term incentives of executive directors with the interests of the shareholders.

Allianz Global Investors also:

• Votes against retirement benefits for non-executive directors.

• Believes that severance pay should not exceed one year’s fixed salary or two years if the executive is dismissed during his first term of office.

2.2 Employee Remuneration

Remuneration structures and frameworks for the employees should reinforce the corporate culture and foster above-average performance.

Performance measurement for staff remuneration should incorporate risk considerations to ensure that there are no rewards for taking inappropriate risks at the expense of the company and its shareholders.

Allianz Global Investors will consider voting against stock purchase plans with discounts exceeding 15%. Allianz Global Investors will also vote against share issues to employees which appear to excessively dilute existing shareholder capital.

14

Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy

Section 3: Audit

3.1 Role of Audit

Allianz Global Investors recognizes the critical importance of financial statements which provide a complete and precise picture of a company’s financial status.

Allianz Global Investors would generally support the audit committee to scrutinize auditor fees and the independence of the audit function.

3.2 Role of Audit Committee

Allianz Global Investors believes that the most important responsibilities of the Audit Committee are:

• Assuring itself and shareholders of the quality of the audit carried out by the auditors as well as reviewing and monitoring their independence and objectivity.

• Approval of the remuneration and terms of engagement of external auditors.

• Reviewing and monitoring key auditing and accounting decisions.

• Making recommendations to the board for consideration and acceptance by shareholders, in relation to the appointment, reappointment and, if necessary, the removal of the external auditors.

The board should disclose and explain the main role and responsibilities of the audit committee and the process by which the audit committee reviews and monitors the independence of the external auditors.

3.3 Independence of Auditors

Allianz Global Investors believes that annual audits should be carried out by an independent, external audit firm. The audit committee should have ongoing dialogue with the external audit firm without presence of management. Any resignation of an auditor as well as the reasons for such resignation should be publicly disclosed.

Fees paid for consulting and other services should not exceed fees paid for auditing services.

3.4 Remuneration of Auditors

Companies should be encouraged to delineate clearly between audit and non-audit fees. The breakdown of the fees should be disclosed.

Audit committees should keep under review the non-audit fees paid to the auditor and in relation to the company’s total expenditure on consultancy. Audit fees should never be excessive.

15

Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy

Section 4: Risk Management and Internal Control

4.1 Role of Risk Management

Allianz Global Investors believes that boards with high standards of corporate governance will be better able to make sound strategic decisions and to oversee the approach to risk management. Boards need to understand and ensure that proper risk management is put in place for all material and relevant risks that the company faces.

4.2 Risk Management Process

The board has the responsibility to ensure that the company has implemented an effective and dynamic ongoing process to identify risks, measure their potential outcomes, and proactively manage those risks to the extent appropriate.

The Chief Risk Officer should be a member of the main Board.

4.3 Risk Management Documentation

Companies should maintain a documented risk management plan. The board should approve the risk management plan, which it is then the responsibility of management to implement. Risk identification should adopt a broad approach and not be limited to financial reporting; this will require consideration of relevant financial, operational and reputational risks.

Allianz Global Investors in general supports proposals which require the board to conduct a review of the effectiveness of the company’s risk management and internal control systems and the risk management plan at least annually.

4.4 Risk Committee

Allianz Global Investors strongly supports the establishment of a risk committee responsible for supervision of risks within the company. If necessary the board or the risk committee should seek independent external support to supplement internal resources.

16

Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy

Section 5: Sustainability Issues

Allianz Global Investors customarily reviews shareholder proposals concerning sustainability issues. Consideration should be given to the circumstances of a particular environment, social, governance or ethical issue and whether this may have financial consequences, either directly or indirectly for the company.

In these cases, Allianz Global Investors would consider:

• whether adoption of the proposal would have either a positive or negative impact on the company’s short-term or long-term share value;

• whether the company has already responded in some appropriate manner to the request embodied in the proposal;

• what other companies have done in response to the issue in question.

Allianz Global Investors generally supports proposals that encourage increased transparency on forward-looking and strategy- related sustainability issues deemed material to the financial performance of the company.

Allianz Global Investors can leverage its dedicated Sustainability Research team to formulate coherent and insightful opinions reflecting best practice for all industries globally, guided by national and international law and voluntary codes of good practice developed by authoritative bodies.

As a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI), Allianz Global Investors is committed where appropriate, to actively implementing the principles into its voting activities.

17

Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy

Section 6: Capital Structure and Corporate Finance Issues

6.1 Capital Increases

6.1.1 Increase in Authorised Common Stock

Allianz Global Investors in general considers acceptable capital increases for purposes which aim to increase shareholder value in the long term. Any capital increase should take into consideration appropriate levels of dilution.

Allianz Global Investors regards the protection of minority and existing shareholders as a fundamental task for companies, and generally favours pre-emptive rights – i.e. for any new issue of shares to be first offered to existing shareholders. For companies in markets which have conditional capital systems (e.g. Germany, South Africa, etc.) Allianz Global Investors will in general support non-specific capital increases (i.e. not tied to any particular transaction) with pre-emptive rights to a maximum of 100% of the current authorised capital. Capital increases without pre-emptive rights will in general be accepted to a maximum of 20% of the current authorised capital. Only in exceptional circumstances will Allianz Global Investors consider voting for higher ceilings.

However, given wide variations of local market practices, Allianz Global Investors will support lower ceilings in markets where they are industry standard (e.g. in the UK, where NAPF guidelines stipulate an amount for share issuances with pre-emptive rights no more than 33% of the current issued share capital that could be used under the general issuance and no more than an additional 33% pursuant to a rights issue, and for share issuances without pre- emptive rights up to a maximum of 5% of the current issued share capital).

An issuance period for a capital increase is favoured to be limited to a reasonable amount of time in line with local market practice, but normally not longer than 18 months.

For companies in markets which have authorized capital systems (e.g. US, Brazil, etc.), Allianz Global Investors will in general support proposals to increase authorized capital up to 100% over the current authorization unless the increase would leave the company with less than 30% of its new authorization outstanding.

6.1.2 Issuance or Increase of Preferred Stock

Allianz Global Investors generally votes against issuance of securities conferring special rights conflicting with the principle of “one share, one vote” (e.g. preferred shares).

Allianz Global Investors will in general support the issuance or the increase of preferred stock if its conditions are clearly defined (in terms of voting, dividend and conversion possibility, as well as other rights and terms associated with the stock) and are considered reasonable with a view of the overall capital structure of the firm, as well as with previously issued preferred stock.

Allianz Global Investors will in this respect also consider the impact of issuance/increase of preferred stock on the current and future rights of common shareholders.

Allianz Global Investors will generally oppose “blank check” preferred stock where the conditions are left at the discretion of the board, in particular when no clear statement is provided by the board that the preferred stock will not be used to prevent a takeover. Allianz Global Investors will only approve preferred stock deemed reasonable in light of the overall capital structure of the company, as well as previously issued preferred stock.

18

Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy

6.2 Issuance of Debt

Allianz Global Investors is in favour of proposals that enhance a company’s long-term prospects and do not result in the company reaching unacceptable levels of financial leverage. Allianz Global Investors is in favour that shareholders should be consulted on the significant issuance of debt and the raising of borrowing limits.

When convertible debt is to be issued, Allianz Global Investors will analyse such a proposal also in light of its criteria to approve issuance of common shares.

6.3 Issues Related to Mergers, Takeovers and Restructurings

6.3.1 General Criteria for Mergers and Restructurings

A merger, restructuring, or spin-off in some way affects a change in control of the company`s assets. Allianz Global Investors expects companies to provide sufficient information to be able to evaluate the merits of such transactions considering various factors such as valuation, strategic rationale, conflicts of interest and corporate governance. Allianz Global Investors expects significant changes in the structure of a company to be approved by the shareholders

Allianz Global Investors may support a merger or restructuring where the transaction appears to offer fair value and the shareholders presumably cannot realise greater value through other means, where equal treatment of all shareholders is ensured and where the corporate governance profile is not significantly altered for the worse.

6.3.2 Poison Pill Plans

In general, Allianz Global Investors will not support Poison Pill plans and similar anti-takeover measures. Allianz Global Investors is clearly in favour of putting all poison pill plans to shareholder vote.

6.3.3 Anti-Greenmail Provisions

Greenmail is the practise of buying shares owned by a corporate raider back at a premium to the market price. Allianz Global Investors will generally support anti-greenmail provisions that do not include other anti-takeover provisions. Allianz Global Investors believes that paying greenmail in favour of a corporate raider discriminates against other shareholders.

6.3.4 Fair Price Provisions

Allianz Global Investors will generally favour fair price provisions that protect minority shareholders and that are not merely designed for the purpose of imposing barriers to transactions.

Allianz Global Investors will vote against “standard fair price provisions” that are from RCM’s view marginally favourable to the remaining disinterested shareholders.

19

Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy

Allianz Global Investors will vote against fair price provisions if the shareholder vote requirement imbedded in the provision is greater than a majority of disinterested shares.

Allianz Global Investors will vote for shareholder proposals to lower the shareholder vote requirement embedded in existing fair price provisions.

6.3.5 Control Share Acquisition and Cash-Out Provisions

Control share acquisition statutes function by denying shares their voting rights when they contribute to ownership in excess of certain thresholds. Voting rights for those shares exceeding ownership limits may only be restored by approval of either a majority or supermajority of disinterested shares. Thus, control share acquisition statutes effectively require a hostile bidder to put its offer to a shareholder vote or risk voting disenfranchisement if the bidder continues buying up a large block of shares.

Allianz Global Investors will support proposals to opt out of control share acquisition statutes unless doing so would enable the completion of a takeover that would be detrimental to shareholders. Allianz Global Investors will oppose proposals to amend the charter to include control share acquisition provisions. Allianz Global Investors will support proposals to restore voting rights to the control shares.

Control share cash-out statutes give dissident shareholders the right to “cash-out” of their position in a company at the expense of the shareholder who has taken a control position. In other words, when an investor crosses a preset threshold level, remaining shareholders are given the right to sell their shares to the acquirer, who must buy them at the highest acquiring price.

Allianz Global Investors will generally support proposals to opt out of control share cash-out statutes.

6.3.6 Going Private/Going Dark Transactions

Allianz Global Investors will vote case-by-case on going private transactions, taking into account the following:

• Offer price/premium;

• Fairness opinion;

• How the deal was negotiated;

• Conflicts of interest;

• Other alternatives/offers considered; and

• Non-completion risk.

Allianz Global Investors will vote case-by-case on going dark transactions, determining whether the transaction enhances shareholder value by taking into consideration:

• Whether the company has attained benefits from being publicly-traded (examination of trading volume, liquidity, and market research of the stock);

• Balanced interests of continuing vs. cashed-out shareholders, taking into account the following:

• Are all shareholders able to participate in the transaction?

• Will there be a liquid market for remaining shareholders following the transaction?

20

Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy

• Does the company have strong corporate governance?

• Will insiders reap the gains of control following the proposed transaction?

• Does the state of incorporation have laws requiring continued reporting that may benefit shareholders?

6.3.7 Joint Ventures

When voting on proposals to form joint ventures, Allianz Global Investors will consider the following factors:

• Percentage of assets/business contributed;

• Percentage ownership;

• Financial and strategic benefits;

• Governance structure;

• Conflicts of interest;

• Other alternatives; and

• Non-completion risk.

6.3.8 Liquidations

Allianz Global Investors will consider liquidations on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the following:

• Management’s efforts to pursue other alternatives;

• Appraisal value of assets; and

• The compensation plan for executives managing the liquidation.

Allianz Global Investors will support the liquidation if the company will file for bankruptcy if the proposal is not approved.

6.3.9 Special Purpose Acquisition Corporations (SPACs)

Allianz Global Investors will consider SPAC mergers and acquisitions on a case-by-case basis taking into account the following:

• Valuation – Is the value being paid by the SPAC reasonable?

• Market reaction – How has the market responded to the proposed deal?

• Deal timing – A main driver for most transactions is that the SPAC charter typically requires the deal to be complete within 18 to 24 months, or the SPAC is to be liquidated.

• Negotiations and process – What was the process undertaken to identify potential target companies within specified industry or location specified in charter?

• Conflicts of interest – How are sponsors benefiting from the transaction compared to IPO shareholders? Potential conflicts could arise if a fairness opinion is issued by the insiders to qualify the deal rather than a third party or if management is encouraged to pay a higher price for the target because of an 80% rule (the charter requires that the fair market value of the target is at least equal to 80% of net assets of the SPAC).

• Voting agreements – Are the sponsors entering into enter into any voting agreements/ tender offers with shareholders who are likely to vote against the proposed merger or exercise conversion rights?

6.4 Other Corporate Finance Issues

6.4.1 Stock Splits and Reverse Stock Splits

In general Allianz Global Investors will support stock splits.

Regarding reverse stock splits, Allianz Global Investors will support them in case their purpose is to fulfil a minimum stock exchange listing requirement.

6.4.2 Share Repurchase Programs

Allianz Global Investors will approve share repurchase programs when they are in the best interest of the shareholders, when all shareholders can participate on equal terms in the buyback program and where Allianz Global Investors agrees that the company cannot use the cash in a more useful way.

Allianz Global Investors will also view such programs in conjunction with the company’s dividend policy.

6.4.3 Dividend Policy

Allianz Global Investors believes that the proposed dividend payments should be disclosed in advance to shareholders and be put to a vote.

6.4.4 Creating Classes with Different Voting Rights/Dual-Voting Share Class Structures

Allianz Global Investors will in general support the principle “one-share, one-vote” as unequal voting rights allow for voting power to potentially be concentrated in the hands of a limited number of shareholders.

Therefore, Allianz Global Investors will normally favour a conversion to a “one-share, one-vote” capital structure and will in principle not support the introduction of multiple-class capital structures or the creation of new or additional super-voting shares.

6.4.5 Conversion of Securities

Allianz Global Investors will vote case-by-case on proposals regarding conversion of securities. When evaluating these proposals the investor should review the dilution to existing shareholders, the conversion price relative to market value, financial issues, control issues, termination penalties, and conflicts of interest.

Allianz Global Investors will support the conversion if it is expected that the company will be subject to onerous penalties or will be forced to file for bankruptcy if the transaction is not approved.

22

Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy

6.4.6 Private Placements/Warrants/Convertible Debentures

Allianz Global Investors will consider proposals regarding private placements, warrants, and convertible debentures on a case-by- case basis, taking into consideration:

• Dilution to existing shareholders’ position;.

• Terms of the offer (discount/premium in purchase price to investor, including any fairness opinion, conversion features, termination penalties, exit strategy);

• Financial issues (the company’s financial condition, degree of need for capital, use of proceeds, effect of the financing on the company’s cost of capital, current and proposed cash burn rate, going concern viability, and the state of the capital and credit markets);

• Management’s efforts to pursue alternatives and whether the company engaged in a process to evaluate alternatives;

• Control issues (potential change in management/board seats, change in control, standstill provisions, voting agreements, veto power over certain corporate actions, and minority versus majority ownership and corresponding minority discount or majority control premium);

• Conflicts of interest (as viewed from the perspective of the company and the investor), considering whether the terms of the transaction were negotiated at arm’s length, and whether managerial incentives are aligned with shareholder interests;

• Market reaction – How has the market responded to the proposed deal?

Allianz Global Investors will support the private placement or the issuance of warrants and/or convertible debentures in a private placement, if it is expected that the company will file for bankruptcy if the transaction is not approved.

Section 7: Other Issues

7.1 General Issues regarding Voting

7.1.1 Bundled Proposals

Allianz Global Investors in general favours voting on individual issues and therefore votes against bundled resolutions.

Agenda items at shareholder meetings should be presented in such a way that they can be voted upon clearly, distinctly and unambiguously.

7.1.2 “Other Business” Proposals

Allianz Global Investors in general opposes “Other Business” proposals unless there is full and clear information about the exact nature of the business to be voted on.

7.1.3 Simple Majority Voting/Elimination of Supermajority

Allianz Global Investors in general supports simple majority voting and the elimination of supermajority. In certain cases, Allianz Global Investors may consider favouring supermajority in cases where it protects minority shareholders from dominant large shareholders.

7.2 Miscellaneous

7.2.1 Re-domiciliation

Allianz Global Investors will oppose re-domiciliation if the reason is to take advantage of a protective status and if the change will incur a significant loss of shareholder power.

7.2.2 Shareholder Right to Call Special Meeting/Act by Written Consent

Allianz Global Investors believes that companies should enable holders of a specified portion of its outstanding shares or a specified number of shareholders to call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of transacting the legitimate business of the company. While it is appropriate to limit abuses, these hurdles should nevertheless be low enough to enable appropriate accountability of the company to its shareholders. Shareholders should be enabled to work together to make such a proposal.

7.2.3 Disclosure and Transparency

Allianz Global Investors believes that companies should apply high standards of disclosure and transparency. In this regards, Allianz Global Investors shows a preference for:

• at least half-year or full-year reports;

• adherence to consistent internationally accepted financial standards;

• availability of financial information and investor communication in a Business English translation;

• personal accessibility and availability of top management for investors;

• preparation of two reports (simplified and detailed versions) in at least two commonly used languages;

• a guide to reading financial statements and clear explanations of proposed resolutions;

24

Allianz Global Investors Global Corporate Governance Guidelines and Proxy Voting Policy

• publication of documents on the Internet;

• mandatory presence of directors at general meetings;

• video link for shareholders not physically present;

• adoption of electronic voting;

• standardisation of voting forms.

7.2.4 Proposals to Adjourn Meeting

Allianz Global Investors will generally oppose proposals to provide management with the authority to adjourn an annual or special meeting absent compelling reasons to support the proposal.

However, Allianz Global Investors will support proposals that relate specifically to soliciting votes for a merger or transaction if supporting that merger or transaction.

7.2.5 Amend Bylaws without Shareholder Consent

Providing the board with the sole ability to amend a company’s bylaws could serve as an entrenchment mechanism and could limit shareholder rights. As such, Allianz Global Investors will oppose proposals giving the board exclusive authority to amend the bylaws. However, Allianz Global Investors will support proposals giving the board the ability to amend the bylaws in addition to shareholders.

7.2.6 Routine Agenda Items

Many routine proposals are operational issues of a non-controversial nature. The list of operational issues includes, but is not limited to: changing date, time, or location of the annual meeting; amending quorum requirements; amending minor bylaws; approving financial results, director reports, and auditor reports; approving allocation of income; changing the company’s fiscal term; and lowering disclosure threshold for stock ownership.

While these proposals are considered to be routine, they are not inconsequential. Fiduciaries remain charged with casting their votes, so these proposals must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, taking into account shareholders’ rights and the potential economic benefits that would be derived from implementation of the proposal.

7.2.7 Succession Planning

All companies should have succession planning policies and succession plans in place, and boards should periodically review and update them. Guidelines for disclosure of a company’s succession planning process should balance the board’s interest in keeping business strategies confidential with shareholders’ interests in ensuring that the board is performing its planning duties adequately.

Allianz Global Investors will generally support proposals seeking disclosure on a CEO succession planning policy, considering at a minimum, the following factors:

• The reasonableness/scope of the request; and

• The company’s existing disclosure on its current CEO succession planning process
