To Our Clients:

Enclosed for your consideration is the Offer to Purchase, dated May 25, 2017, of First Trust/Aberdeen Global Opportunity Income Fund (the “Fund”), and a related Letter of Transmittal. Together these documents constitute the “Offer.” The Fund is offering to purchase up to 25% of its outstanding common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 (the “Shares”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer.

A tender of your Shares can be made only by us as the registered holder and only pursuant to your Instructions. The Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal are being sent to you for your information only. They cannot be used by you to tender Shares held by us for your account. We are the registered holder of Shares held for your account.

Your attention is called to the following:

(1) The purchase price to be paid for the Shares is an amount per Share, net to the seller in cash, equal to 98% of the net asset value per Share (“NAV”) in U.S. dollars per Share as determined by the Fund as of the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on June 23, 2017, or if the Offer period is extended, as of the close of the regular trading session of the NYSE on the newly designated expiration date. The current NAV of the Fund will be calculated daily and may be obtained by calling Georgeson LLC, the Information Agent, toll free at (800) 903-2897.

(2) The Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum number of Shares being tendered.

(3) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the Fund will purchase all Shares validly tendered (and not withdrawn) on or prior to the Expiration Date, provided that the total number of Shares tendered does not exceed 25% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares. In the event that more than 25% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares are tendered, the Fund will purchase 25% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares on a pro rata basis.

(4) Tendering shareholders will not be obligated to pay stock transfer taxes on the purchase of Shares by the Fund pursuant to the Offer, except in the instances described in Section 4, “Payment for Shares,” of the Offer to Purchase.

(5) Your instructions to us should be forwarded in ample time before the Expiration Date to permit us to submit a tender on your behalf.

If you wish to have us tender any or all of your Shares, please so instruct us by completing, executing and returning to us the instruction form set forth below. An envelope to return your instructions to us is enclosed. If you authorize the tender of your Shares, all such Shares will be tendered unless otherwise specified below. Your instructions to us should be forwarded as promptly as possible in order to permit us to submit a tender on your behalf in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer.

The Offer is not being made to, nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of, holders of Shares in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance of the Offer would not be in compliance with applicable law.

Neither the Fund nor its Board of Trustees is making any recommendation to any shareholder whether to tender or refrain from tendering Shares in the Offer. Each shareholder is urged to read and evaluate the Offer and accompanying materials carefully.
