Re:  Administration Agreement — Aberdeen Global Select Opportunities Fund Inc. (the “Fund”)

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made to the Administration Agreement between State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Administrator”), and each Aberdeen management investment company identified on Schedule A thereto dated as of October 1, 2011, as amended and supplemented (the “Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Agreement, this letter is to provide notice that the Board of Directors of the Fund and its shareholders have approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which the Fund will be reorganized into the Aberdeen Global Equity Fund, a series of Aberdeen Funds (the “Reorganization”).  The Reorganization is expected to take place on or about February 25, 2015.  The Fund will require services of the Administrator following the Reorganization, including completing final reporting and filing requirements for the Fund.  Please provide a good faith estimate of your fees through the complete winding up of the Fund’s affairs following its Reorganization.

 

Please indicate your acceptance of the foregoing by executing two copies of this letter, returning one to Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. and retaining one for your records.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

 

ABERDEEN ASSET MANAGEMENT INC.
