IMPORTANT NOTICE
Re: Aberdeen Israel Fund, Inc.
Dear Shareholder:
Recently the Aberdeen Israel Fund, Inc. (the Fund) announced an extremely important initiative regarding the consolidation of several closed-end funds with the Aberdeen Chile Fund, Inc. which is described in the Funds proxy statement dated February 1, 2018. This consolidation is anticipated to result in several benefits to Fund shareholders including, among others, the potential for greater secondary market liquidity, better trade execution for shareholders and possible improved premium/discount levels.
Following the consolidation, the combined fund will commence a tender offer for its shares. It is expected that assets distributed in the tender offer, together with accrued capital gains to be distributed in 2018, will aggregate up to a maximum distribution of 50%, and not less than 40%, of the net assets of the combined fund post-consolidation. For more information about the consolidation and potential benefits, please review the Funds proxy statement available at: http://www.aberdeenisl.com/en/usclosedisl/announcements. In order to proceed with this consolidation, the Fund is required to seek consent from you.
Approval for the Plan of Reorganization requires an affirmative vote of the majority of total outstanding shares eligible to vote. It is critical that ALL shareholders vote, regardless of the number of shares that are owned, to pass the all-important Plan of Reorganization.
It is very important that we speak to you regarding this matter. The call will only take a few moments of your time and there is no confidential information required. Please contact us toll-free at 1-888-288-0951 between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time Monday through Friday. At the time of the call, please reference the number listed below.
