Dear Fellow Shareholder:

 

The ASA Gold & Precious Metals (“ASA”) shareholder meeting will be held on April 26th, 2024, less than ten days from now.

 

Dissident shareholder Saba is trying to take control of ASA with its board slate. Based on Saba’s past actions with other closed end funds once it gets control, we believe ASA will be severely diminished, its mission changed and ultimately may end up being liquidated.

 

We believe that Saba’s articulated goals are adverse to the interests of ASA’s long term shareholders and their investment objectives.

 

Now is the time to vote your shares for your ASA board nominees, all of whom are your fellow shareholders. Please call our proxy solicitor, Morrow Sodali Fund Solutions, at 1-888-698-3070 between the hours of 10:00a.m. and 10:00p.m., Eastern time with your WHITE proxy card available. They will help ensure that your shares are voted.

 

Sincerely,

 

/s/ Axel Merk
