, the most recent investment adviser registration forms were provided
to the Trustees, as were responses to detailed requests submitted by the Independent Trustees’ independent legal counsel
on their behalf, as described above. The Trustees also had previously met with senior personnel across various departments of Aberdeen.
The Trustees considered the information provided with respect to the proposed experienced portfolio management teams and other
resources that would be dedicated to each Combined Fund, as well as the investment philosophies and processes that would be followed
by those individuals in managing each Combined Fund. Further, the Trustees noted that Aberdeen has advised the Trustees that in
transitioning the management of each Combined Fund, Aberdeen would be focused on minimizing any disruption to each Combined Fund
and its shareholders and that it expects any repositioning of each Combined Fund’s investment portfolio to be undertaken
in a manner that minimizes transaction costs and mitigates adverse tax consequences. The Trustees noted that Aberdeen has substantial
experience in assimilating closed-end funds into its family of funds.

The Trustees considered that Aberdeen and its
affiliates currently manage 15 U.S. closed-end funds and 14 non-U.S. closed-end funds, totaling $28 billion in assets as of November
10, 2025. The Trustees additionally considered Aberdeen’s commitment to its asset management business, in particular its
larger closed-end fund platform, its knowledge of the closed-end fund marketplace, and dedicated closed-end fund investor services
professionals. With respect to MFM specifically, they also considered that Aberdeen has extensive experience in managing municipal
securities and currently manages another municipal closed-end fund, VFL.

The Trustees noted Aberdeen’s and MFS’
representations that, if Aberdeen were approved as each Combined Fund’s investment adviser, there would be no expected diminution
in the nature, quality and extent of services provided to each Trust and their respective shareholders, including administrative,
regulatory and compliance services. The Trustees further considered the valuation policies of Aberdeen and MFS and its anticipated
impact on each Trust’s net asset value following the close of the transaction, noting MFS’ and Aberdeen’s representations
that the policies were substantially similar and that any resulting impact was expected to be minimal.

Based on the
foregoing and other relevant information reviewed, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with assurances from Aberdeen
and MFS as to the expected nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund under the New Management Agreement.
