 consummation of the Transaction with respect to a Trust is subject to shareholder approval of its Proposals described
in this Proxy Statement. Therefore, if shareholders of a Trust do not approve the Proposals, or if the other conditions in the
Purchase Agreement are not satisfied or waived, then the Transaction will not be completed and the Purchase Agreement will terminate
with respect to such Trust. The election of the five new Trustees for a Trust is therefore contingent on the adoption by such Trust
of its New Management Agreement.

In connection with its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the broader Transaction, Aberdeen has agreed to comply with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act. Section 15(f) provides a non-exclusive “safe harbor” for an investment company’s adviser or any affiliated persons of the adviser to receive any amount or benefit in connection with a sale of securities or other interest in the investment adviser as long as two conditions are met. First, for a period of three years after the change of control, at least 75% of the directors of the investment company must not be interested persons of the adviser or the predecessor adviser. Second, there must not be any “unfair burden” imposed on the investment company as a result of the transaction or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings relating to the transaction. Section 15(f) defines “unfair burden” to include any arrangement during the two-year period after the transaction in which the adviser or predecessor adviser, or any interested person of the adviser or predecessor adviser, receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the investment company or its security holders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services) or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the investment company (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter for the investment company).

MFS has advised the Trusts that neither it, nor Aberdeen, after reasonable inquiry, is aware of any express or implied term, condition, arrangement or understanding that would impose an “unfair burden” on the funds as a result of the Transaction. Moreover, Aberdeen has advised the funds that Aberdeen will not take, nor cause its affiliates to take, any action that would have the effect of causing the conditions of Section 15(f) not to be met with respect to the Transaction, and Aberdeen has advised the funds that Aberdeen will not fail to take, and will cause its affiliates not to fail to take, any action
