Unclaimed Share Accounts
Please be advised that
abandoned or unclaimed property laws for certain states require financial organizations to transfer (escheat) unclaimed property (including Fund shares) to the state. Each state has its own definition of unclaimed
property, and Fund shares could be considered “unclaimed property” due to account inactivity (e.g., no owner-generated activity for a certain period), returned mail (e.g., when mail sent to
a shareholder is returned to the Fund's transfer agent as undeliverable), or a combination of both. If your Fund shares are categorized as unclaimed, your financial advisor or the Fund's transfer agent will
follow the applicable state’s statutory requirements to contact you, but if unsuccessful, laws may require that the shares be escheated to the appropriate state. If this happens, you will have to contact the
state to recover your property, which may involve time and expense. For more information on unclaimed property and how to maintain an active account, please contact your financial adviser or the Fund's transfer
agent.
Open Market Repurchase Program
The Board approved an open
market repurchase and discount management policy (the "Program"), which allows the Fund to purchase, in the open market, its outstanding common shares, with the amount and timing of any repurchase determined at the
discretion of the Fund’s investment manager. If shares are repurchased, the Fund reports the number of shares repurchased on its website monthly. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2024, the Fund did
not repurchase any shares through this program.
On a quarterly basis, the
Board will receive information on any transactions made pursuant to this Program during the prior quarter and if shares are repurchased management will post the number of shares repurchased on the Fund’s website
on a monthly basis. Under the terms of the Program, the Fund is permitted to repurchase up to 10% of its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market during any 12 month period.
Portfolio Holdings Disclosure
The Fund's complete schedule
of portfolio holdings for the second and fourth quarters of each fiscal year are included in the Fund's semi-annual and annual reports to shareholders. The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT. These reports are available on the SEC’s website
at http://www.sec.gov. The Fund makes the information available to shareholders upon request and without charge by calling Investor Relations toll-free at 1-800-522-5465.

and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities and information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month
period ended June 30 is available by August 31 of the relevant year: (1) upon request without charge by calling Investor Relations toll-free at 1-800-522-5465; and (2) on the SEC’s website at

Loan Facilities and the Use of Leverage
(unaudited)
Loan Facilities and the Use of Leverage
The amounts borrowed under
the Revolving Credit Facility, the Notes and the Series A MRPS (each as defined below) may be invested to seek to return higher rates than the rates pursuant to which interest or dividends are paid under such forms of
leverage. However, the cost of leverage could exceed the income earned by the Fund on the proceeds of such leverage. To the extent that the Fund is unable to invest the proceeds from the use of leverage in assets
which pay interest at a rate which exceeds the rate paid on the leverage, the yield on the Fund’s common stock will decrease. In addition, in the event of a general market decline in the value of assets in which
the Fund invests, the effect of that decline will be magnified in the Fund because of the additional assets purchased with the proceeds of the leverage.
The Fund employed leverage
obtained via bank borrowing and other forms of leverage during the six-month period ended April 30, 2024. On August 1, 2023, the Fund executed an amendment of the $100,000,000 senior secured revolving credit loan
facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia, acting as administrative agent. On June 25, 2023, the Fund's $50,000,000 in Series A MRPS matured
and the Fund drew-down $35,000,000 on its revolving credit facility. During the period, the Fund also Fund paid down $24,000,000 on its revolving credit facility. As of April 30, 2024, the Fund’s
outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility was $76,000,000.
At April 30, 2024, the Fund
had $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes rated `AAA’ by Kroll Ratings outstanding ($50,000,000 in 3.87% Series C Senior Secured Notes due February 28, 2032, $100,000,000 in 3.70%
Series D Senior Secured Notes due August 10, 2032 and $100,000,000 in 3.73% Series E Senior Secured Notes due June 19, 2034) (collectively, the “Notes”).
The Fund’s leveraged
capital structure creates special risks not associated with unleveraged funds having similar investment objectives and policies. The funds borrowed pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility and the Notes may
constitute a substantial lien and burden by reason of their prior claim against the income of the Fund and against the net assets of the Fund in liquidation. The Fund is limited in its ability to declare dividends or
other distributions under the terms of the various forms of leverage. In the event of an event of default under the Revolving Credit Facility, the lenders have the right to cause a liquidation of the collateral (i.e.,
sell portfolio securities and other assets of the Fund) and, if any such default is not cured, the lenders may be able to control the liquidation as well. In the event of an event of default under the Note Purchase
Agreement, the holders of the Notes have the right to cause a liquidation of the collateral (i.e., cause the sale of portfolio securities and other assets of the Fund). A
liquidation of the Fund’s collateral
assets in an event of default, or a voluntary paydown of the Revolving Credit Facility, Series A MRPS or the Notes in order to avoid an event of default, would typically involve administrative expenses and sometimes
penalties. Additionally, such liquidations often involve selling off of portions of the Fund’s assets at inopportune times which can result in losses when markets are unfavorable.
The Revolving Credit Facility
Agreement, and the Note Purchase Agreement, includes usual and customary covenants for the applicable type of transaction. These covenants impose on the Fund asset coverage requirements, Fund composition
requirements and limits on certain investments, such as illiquid investments, which are more stringent than those imposed on the Fund by the 1940 Act. The covenants or guidelines could impede the Fund’s
investment manager or sub-adviser from fully managing the Fund’s portfolio in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. Furthermore, non-compliance with such covenants or the occurrence
of other events could lead to the cancellation of any and/or all of the forms of leverage. As of April 30, 2024, the Fund was in compliance with all covenants under the agreements relating to the various forms of
leverage. Under the Fund's loan facilities, the Fund is charged interest on amounts borrowed at a variable rate, which may be based on a reference rate such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate
(“SOFR”), plus a spread. Additionally, the Fund may invest in certain debt securities, derivatives or other financial instruments that utilize SOFR as a “benchmark” or “reference
rate” for various interest rate calculations.
Interest Rate Swaps
As of April 30, 2024, the
Fund held interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $76,000,000, which represented 100% of the Fund’s Revolving Credit Facility balance outstanding. Under the terms of the
agreements currently in effect,the Fund receives a floating rate of interest and pays fixed rates of interest for the terms and based upon the notional amounts set forth below:

Total Investment Return (unaudited) (concluded)
abrdn Inc. has entered into
an agreement with the Fund to limit investor relations services fees, without which performance would be lower. This agreement aligns with the term of the advisory agreement and may not be terminated prior to the end
of the current term of the advisory agreement. See Note 3 in the Notes to Financial Statements.
Returns represent past
performance. Total investment return at NAV is based on changes in the NAV of Fund shares and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any, at market prices pursuant to the dividend reinvestment program
sponsored by the Fund’s transfer agent. All return data at NAV includes fees charged to the Fund, which are listed in the Fund’s Statement of Operations under “Expenses.” Total investment
return at market value is based on changes in the market price at which the Fund’s shares traded on the NYSE American during the period and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any, at market
prices pursuant to the dividend reinvestment program sponsored by the Fund’s transfer agent. The Fund’s total investment return is based on the reported NAV as of the financial reporting period end date of
April 30, 2024. Because the Fund’s shares trade in the stock market based on investor demand, the Fund may trade at a price higher or lower than its NAV. Therefore, returns are calculated based on both market
price and NAV. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions received
from the Fund. The current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the figures shown. The Fund’s yield, return, market price and NAV will fluctuate. Performance information current to the most recent
month-end is available at www.abrdnfax.com or by calling 800-522-5465.
The annualized net operating
expense ratio based on the six-month period ended April 30, 2024 was 3.25%.The annualized net operating expenses excluding interest expense and distributions to Series A Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares based on
the six-month period ended April 30, 2024 was 1.29%.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
April 30, 2024
1. Organization
abrdn Asia-Pacific Income
Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland on March 14, 1986 as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Fund’s principal investment objective is to seek current
income. The Fund may also achieve incidental capital appreciation. To achieve its investment objectives, the Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment
purposes, in "Asia-Pacific debt securities,” which include: (1) debt securities of Asia-Pacific Country issuers, including securities issued by Asia-Pacific Country governmental entities, as well as by banks,
companies and other entities which are located in Asia-Pacific Countries, whether or not denominated in an Asia-Pacific Country currency; (2) debt securities of other issuers, denominated in, or linked to, the
currency of an Asia-Pacific Country, including securities issued by supranational issuers, such as The World Bank and derivative debt securities that replicate, or substitute for, the currency of an Asia-Pacific
Country; (3) debt securities issued by entities which, although not located in an Asia-Pacific Country, derive at least 50% of their revenues from Asia-Pacific Countries or have at least 50% of their assets located in
Asia-Pacific Countries; and (4) debt securities issued by a wholly-owned subsidiary of an entity located in an Asia-Pacific Country, provided that the debt securities are guaranteed by the parent entity located in the
Asia-Pacific Country (the “80% Policy”). With reference to items (3) and (4) above, Asia-Pacific debt securities may be denominated in an Asia-Pacific Country currency or U.S. dollars. “Asia-Pacific
Countries” (each, an “Asia-Pacific Country”) means countries included in “Asia” and “Oceania” in the United Nations (“UN”) geographic regions used by the UN
Statistics Division. The 80% Policy is fundamental and may not be changed without a vote of shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives. The ability of issuers of debt
securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry, country or region.
The maximum exposure to any
one “Investment Grade Country” (other than the U.S.) is limited to 25% of the Fund's total assets and the maximum exposure to any one “Non-Investment Grade Country” is limited to 15% of the
Fund's total assets. Investment Grade Countries are those countries whose sovereign debt is rated not less than Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), BBB- by S&P Global
Ratings (“S&P”) or BBB- by Fitch Ratings, Inc. ("Fitch") or comparably rated by another appropriate nationally or internationally recognized ratings agency. Non-Investment Grade Countries are those
that are not Investment Grade Countries.
2. Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies
The Fund is an investment
company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards
Codification Topic 946 Financial
Services-Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform to generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accounting records of
the Fund are maintained in U.S. Dollars and the U.S. Dollar is used as both the functional and reporting currency. However, the Australian Dollar is the functional currency for U.S. federal tax purposes.
a. Security Valuation:
The Fund values its
securities at current market value or fair value, consistent with regulatory requirements. "Fair value" is defined in the Fund's Valuation and Liquidity Procedures as the price that could be received to sell an asset
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants without a compulsion to transact at the measurement date. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the "1940 Act"), the Board designated abrdn Asia Limited (“abrdn Asia” or the “Investment Manager”) as the valuation designee ("Valuation Designee") for the Fund to perform the
fair value determinations relating to Fund investments for which market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable.
In accordance with the
authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under U.S. GAAP, the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments using a three-level hierarchy that classifies the inputs to valuation techniques
used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy assigns Level 1, the highest level, measurements to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, Level 2 measurements to
valuations based upon other significant observable inputs, including adjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets, and Level 3, the lowest level, measurements to valuations based upon unobservable
inputs that are significant to the valuation. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk
inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable
inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable
inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information
24

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
April 30, 2024
available in the circumstances. A financial
instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Open-end mutual funds are
valued at the respective NAV as reported by such company. The prospectuses for the registered open-end management investment companies in which the Fund invests explain the circumstances under which those companies
will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing. Closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) are valued at the market price of the security at the Valuation Time (defined
below). A security using any of these pricing methodologies is generally determined to be a Level 1 investment.
Long-term debt and other
fixed-income securities are valued at the last quoted or evaluated bid price on the valuation date provided by an independent pricing service provider. If there are no current day bids, the security is valued at the
previously applied bid. Pricing services generally price debt securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional "round lot" size and the strategies employed by the Investment Manager as Valuation Designee
generally trade in round lot sizes. In certain circumstances, some trades may occur in smaller "odd lot" sizes which may be effected at lower or higher prices than institutional round lot trades. Short-term debt
securities (such as commercial paper and U.S. treasury bills) having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if it represents the best approximation of fair value. Debt and other
fixed-income securities are generally determined to be Level 2 investments.
Short-term investments are
comprised of cash and cash equivalents invested in short-term investment funds which are redeemable daily. The Fund sweeps available cash into the State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund,
which has elected to qualify as a “government money market fund” pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, and has an objective, which is not guaranteed, to maintain a $1.00 per share NAV. Generally, these
investment types are categorized as Level 1 investments.
Derivatives are valued at fair value.
Exchange traded derivatives are generally Level 1 investments and over-the-counter and centrally cleared derivatives are generally Level 2 investments. Forward foreign currency contracts are generally valued based on
the bid price of the forward rates and the current spot rate. Forward exchange rate quotations are available for scheduled settlement dates, such as 1-, 3-, 6-, 9- and 12-month periods. An interpolated valuation is
derived based on the actual settlement dates of the forward contracts held. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price or at the last bid price if no settlement price is available. Interest rate swaps
agreements are generally valued by an approved pricing agent based on the terms of the swap agreement (including future cash flows).
In the event that a
security’s market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable (for reasons other than because the foreign exchange on which it trades closes before the Valuation Time), the security is valued
at fair value as determined by the Valuation Designee, taking into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances using valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board. Under normal circumstances
the Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). A security that has been fair valued by the Investment Manager may be classified as
Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the nature of the inputs.
The three-level hierarchy of
inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 - quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments;
Level 2 - other significant observable
inputs (including valuation factors, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk, etc.); or
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs
(including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

For the six-month period ended
April 30, 2024, there were no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies.
b. Restricted
Securities:
Restricted securities are privately-placed
securities whose resale is restricted under U.S. securities laws. The Fund may invest in restricted securities, including unregistered securities eligible for resale without registration pursuant to Rule 144A and
privately-placed securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers offered outside the U.S. without registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). Rule 144A securities may
be freely traded among certain qualified institutional investors, such as the Fund, but resale of such securities in the U.S. is permitted only in limited circumstances.
c. Foreign Currency Translation:
Foreign securities,
currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. Dollar, as of the Valuation Time, as provided by
an independent pricing service approved by the Board.
Foreign currency amounts are
translated into U.S. Dollars on the following basis:
26
| abrdn Asia-Pacific Income Fund, Inc.
|
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
April 30, 2024
(i) market value of investment securities,
other assets and liabilities – at the current daily rates of exchange at the Valuation Time; and
(ii) purchases and sales of
investment securities, income and expenses – at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Fund isolates that
portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the foreign exchange rates due to the fluctuations in the market prices of the securities held at the end of the reporting period. Similarly, the Fund
isolates the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of portfolio securities sold during the reporting period. The effect of changes in foreign
exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of portfolio securities sold during the reported period is reported in the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows within the investments
sold and principal repayments caption.
Net realized foreign exchange
gains or losses represent foreign exchange gains and losses from transactions in foreign currencies and forward foreign currency contracts, exchange gains or losses realized between the trade date and settlement date
on security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received.
Foreign security and currency
transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin, including unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. Dollar.
Generally, when the U.S. Dollar rises in value against foreign currency, the Fund's investments denominated in that foreign currency will lose value because the foreign currency is worth fewer U.S. Dollars; the
opposite effect occurs if the U.S. Dollar falls in relative value.
d. Derivative Financial
Instruments:
The Fund is
authorized to use derivatives to manage currency risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk and to replicate, or use as a substitute for, physical securities. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the
contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of derivative instruments involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange
Contracts:
A forward foreign currency
exchange contract ("forward contract") involves an obligation to purchase and sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties,
at a price set at the time of the contract. Forward contracts are used to manage the Fund's currency exposure in an efficient manner. They are used to sell unwanted currency exposure that comes with holding securities
in a
market, or to buy currency exposure where
the exposure from holding securities is insufficient to give the desired currency exposure either in absolute terms or relative to a particular benchmark or index. The use of forward contracts allows for the
separation of investment decision-making between foreign exchange holdings and their currencies.
The forward contract is
marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Forward contracts' prices are received daily from an independent pricing provider. When the
forward contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. These realized and unrealized gains and
losses are reported on the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or from unanticipated movements in exchange
rates. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2024, the Fund used forward contracts to hedge its currency exposure.
While the Fund may enter
into forward contracts to seek to reduce currency exchange rate risks, transactions in such contracts involve certain risks. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet
the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in exchange rates. Thus, while the Fund may benefit from such transactions, unanticipated changes in currency prices may result in a poorer overall
performance for the Fund than if it had not engaged in any such transactions. Moreover, there may be an imperfect correlation between the Fund’s portfolio holdings or securities quoted or denominated in a
particular currency and forward contracts entered into by the Fund. Such imperfect correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving a complete hedge, which will expose the Fund to the risk of foreign exchange loss.
Forward contracts are
subject to the risk that the counterparties to such contracts may default on their obligations. Since a forward foreign currency exchange contract is not guaranteed by an exchange or clearing house, a default on the
contract would deprive the Fund of unrealized profits, transaction costs or the benefits of a currency hedge or force the Fund to cover its purchase or sale commitments, if any, at the market price at the time of the
default.
Futures Contracts:
The Fund may invest in
financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities, or securities that the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by
changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes, however, in those instances, (a) either the aggregate initial margin and premiums
required to establish the Fund's position may not exceed 5% of the Fund's NAV after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such contract into which it has entered into, or (b) the
aggregate net notional value of the Fund’s position may not

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
April 30, 2024
exceed 100% of the Fund's NAV after taking
into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such contract which it has entered into.
Upon entering into a
futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This payment is known as initial margin. Subsequent payments,
known as “variation margin,” are calculated each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. An unrealized gain/(loss) equal to the variation margin is
recognized on a daily basis. When the contract expires or is closed, the gain/(loss) is realized and is presented in the Statement of Operations as a net realized gain/(loss) on futures contracts. Futures contracts
are valued daily at their last quoted sale price on the exchange on which they are traded.
A “sale” of a
futures contract means a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures
contract means a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.
There are significant risks
associated with the Fund's use of futures contracts, including the following: (1) the success of a hedging strategy may depend on the ability of the Fund's investment manager and/or sub-adviser to predict movements in
the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates; (2) there may be an imperfect or no correlation between the movement in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and
the value/market value of the securities held by the Fund; (3) there may not be a liquid secondary market for a futures contract; (4) trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an exchange; and (5)
government regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts. In addition, should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a
loss.
During the six-month period
ended April 30, 2024, the Fund used U.S. Treasury futures to efficiently manage U.S. interest rate exposure and hedge the U.S. interest rate risk.
Swaps:
A swap is an agreement that
obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows and/or meet certain obligations at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates (interest rates in the case
of interest rate swaps, currency exchange rates in the case of currency swaps) or the occurrence of a credit event with respect to an underlying reference obligation (in the case of a credit default swap) for a
specified amount of an underlying asset or notional principal amount. The Fund will enter into swaps only on a net basis, which means that the two payment streams are netted out, with the Fund receiving or paying, as
the case may be, only the amount of the difference between the two payments. Except for currency swaps and credit default swaps, the notional principal
amount is used solely to calculate the
payment streams but is not exchanged. With respect to currency swaps, actual principal amounts of currencies may be exchanged by the counterparties at the initiation, and again upon the termination of the
transaction.
Traditionally, swaps were
customized, privately negotiated agreements executed between two parties (“OTC Swaps”) but since 2013, certain swaps are required to be cleared pursuant to rules and regulations related to the Dodd –
Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd Frank”) and/or Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 on OTC Derivatives, Central Counterparties and Trade Repositories (“EMIR”) (“Cleared
Swaps”). Like OTC Swaps, Cleared Swaps are negotiated bilaterally. Unlike OTC Swaps, the act of clearing results in two swaps executed between each of the parties and a central counterparty (“CCP”),
and thus the counterparty credit exposure of the parties is to the CCP rather than to one another. Upon entering into a Cleared Swap, the Fund is required to pledge an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a
certain percentage of the contract amount. This payment is known as “initial margin”. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are calculated each day, depending on the daily
fluctuations in the fair value/market value of the underlying assets. An unrealized gain/(loss) equal to the variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. When the contract matures or is terminated, the gain or
loss is realized and is presented in the Statements of Operations as a net realized gain or loss on swap contracts. The margin requirements associated with OTC Swaps and Cleared Swaps may not be the same.
Entering into swap
agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there
will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform and that there may be unfavorable changes in the value of the index or securities
underlying the agreement. The Fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk related to swaps is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by the posting of collateral by the counterparties to the
Fund to cover the Fund's exposure to the counterparty.
Interest Rate Swaps:
The Fund may use interest
rate swap contracts to manage its exposure to interest rates. Interest rate swap contracts typically represent the exchange between the Fund and a counterparty of respective commitments to make variable rate and fixed
rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Interest rate swap contracts may have a term that is greater than one year, but typically require periodic interim settlement in cash, at which time the
specified value of the variable interest rate is reset for the next settlement period. Net payments of interest are recorded as realized gains or losses. During

the period that the swap contract is open,
the contract is marked-to-market as the net amount due to or from the Fund and changes in the value of swap contracts are recorded as unrealized gains or losses.

e. Bank Loans:
The Fund may invest in bank
loans. Bank loans include floating and fixed-rate debt obligations. Floating rate loans are debt obligations issued by companies or other entities with floating interest rates that reset periodically. Bank loans may
include, but are not limited to, term loans, delayed funding loans, bridge loans and revolving credit facilities. Loan interest will primarily take the form of assignments purchased in the primary or secondary market
but may include
participations. Floating rate loans are
secured by specific collateral of the borrower and are senior to most other securities of the borrower (e.g., common stock or debt instruments) in the event of bankruptcy. Floating rate loans are often issued in
connection with recapitalizations, acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, and refinancings. Floating rate loans are typically structured and administered by a financial institution that acts as the agent of the lenders
participating in the floating rate loan. Floating rate loans may be acquired directly through the agent, as an assignment from another lender who holds a direct interest in the floating rate loan, or as a
participation interest in another lender’s portion of the floating rate loan.
The Fund may also enter into,
or acquire participations in, delayed funding loans and revolving credit facilities. Delayed funding loans and revolving credit facilities are borrowings in which the Fund agrees to make loans up to a maximum amount
upon demand by the borrowing issuer for a specified term. A revolving credit facility differs from a delayed funding loan in that as the borrowing issuer repays the loan, an amount equal to the repayment is again made
available to the borrowing issuer under the facility. The borrowing issuer may at any time borrow and repay amounts so long as, in the aggregate, at any
30

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
April 30, 2024
given time the amount borrowed does not
exceed the maximum amount established by the loan agreement. Delayed funding loans and revolving credit facilities usually provide for floating or variable rates of interest.
See “Bank Loan
Risk” under “Portfolio Investment Risks” for information regarding the risks associated with an investment in bank loans.
f. Security Transactions,
Investment Income and Expenses:
Security transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized and unrealized gains/(losses) from security and foreign currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual
basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted or amortized on an effective yield basis over the estimated lives of the respective securities.
g. Distributions:
The Fund has a managed
distribution policy to pay distributions from net investment income supplemented by net realized foreign exchange gains, net realized short-term capital gains, net realized long-term capital gains and return of
capital distributions, if necessary, on a monthly basis. The managed distribution policy is subject to regular review by the Board. The Fund will also declare and pay distributions at least annually from net realized
gains on investment transactions and net realized foreign exchange gains, if any. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Distributions to Series A
MRPS shareholders were accrued daily and paid quarterly based on an annual rate of 4.125%. The Fund was not able to pay distributions to its preferred shareholders unless (i) the pro forma asset coverage ratios for
the Series A MRPS, as calculated in accordance with the Kroll total and net overcollateralization tests per the 'AAA' rating guidelines outlined in Kroll's closed-end fund criteria, is in excess of 100%, and (ii) the
Fund's asset coverage ratios for the Series A MRPS, as calculated in accordance with the 1940 Act, is in excess of 225%. The character of distributions to Series A MRPS shareholders made during the fiscal year may
differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. For tax purposes, the Fund's distributions to Series A MRPS shareholders for the six-month period ended April 30, 2024 were 100% net
investment income.
h. Federal Income Taxes:
For U.S. federal income
purposes, the Fund includes a separately identifiable unit called a Qualified Business Unit (“QBU”) (see Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) section 987). The Fund has operated
with a QBU for U.S. federal income purposes since 1990.
The home office of the Fund is designated as
the United States and of the QBU is Australia with a functional currency of Australian dollar. The securities held within the Fund reside within either the QBU or the home office. Australian dollar denominated
securities within the Australian QBU generate capital gain/loss (which are translated for U.S. federal income tax purposes into U.S. Dollars based on the weighted average exchange rate for the period) but not currency
gain/loss. If a non AUD denominated security were to sit in the AUD QBU and was sold, the sale would generate capital gain/loss as well as currency gain/loss based on the currency exchange between the currency the
security is denominated in and the Australian dollar.
Currency gain/loss related to
currency exchange between the U.S. Dollar and the QBU functional currency is generated when money is transferred from a QBU to the home office. The currency gain/loss would result from the difference between the
current exchange rate and the fiscal year to date average exchange rate until which profits are repatriated to U.S. Dollar basis in the QBU (which is generally computed based on the currency exchange rates from when
money was transferred into such QBU and from gain/losses generated within such QBU based on the weighted average exchange rates for the periods such gain/loss was recognized). Based on the QBU structure, there may be
sizable differences in the currency gain/loss recognized for U.S. federal income tax purposes and what is reported within the financial statements under GAAP. As of the Fund’s fiscal year-end, the calculation of
the composition of distributions to shareholders is finalized and reported in the Fund’s annual report to shareholders. As of October 31, 2023, the Fund has terminated its QBU structure.
The Fund intends to continue
to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in Subchapter M of the Code, and to make distributions of net
investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all federal income taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain
tax positions only where the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that
would require recognition in the financial statements. Since tax authorities can examine previously filed tax returns, the Fund's U.S. federal and state tax returns for each of the most recent four fiscal years up to
the most recent fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 are subject to such review.
i. Foreign Withholding
Tax:
Dividend and interest
income from non-U.S. sources received by the Fund are generally subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes. In addition, the Fund may be subject to capital gains tax in certain countries in which it invests. The above
taxes may be reduced or eliminated under
abrdn Asia-Pacific Income Fund, Inc.
| 31
|
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
April 30, 2024
the terms of applicable U.S. income tax
treaties with some of these countries. The Fund accrues such taxes when the related income is earned.
In addition, when the Fund
sells securities within certain countries in which it invests, the capital gains realized may be subject to tax. Based on these market requirements and as required under GAAP, the Fund accrues deferred capital gains
tax on securities currently held that have unrealized appreciation within these countries. The amount of deferred capital gains tax accrued, if any, is reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
j. Cash Flow
Information:
The Fund invests in
securities and distributes dividends from net investment income and net realized gains on investment and currency transactions which are paid in cash or are reinvested at the discretion of shareholders. These
activities are reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and additional information on cash receipts and cash payments is presented in the Statement of Cash Flows. Cash includes domestic and foreign currency
as well as cash in segregated accounts for financial futures, swaps, and forward contracts which has been designated as collateral.
3. Agreements and Transactions
with Affiliates
a. Investment Manager,
Investment Sub-Adviser, and Fund Administration:
abrdn Asia serves as
Investment Manager to the Fund, pursuant to a management agreement. abrdn Investments Limited (the "Sub-Adviser") serves as the sub-adviser pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement with the Investment Manager. The
Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser (collectively, the “Advisers”) are wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of abrdn plc. In rendering advisory services, the Advisers may use the resources of investment
advisor subsidiaries of abrdn plc. These affiliates have entered into procedures pursuant to which investment professionals from affiliates may render portfolio management and research services as associated persons
of the Advisers.
The Investment Manager
manages the Fund’s investments and makes investment decisions on behalf of the Fund including the selection of and the placement of orders with brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions on behalf of
the Fund. The Sub-Adviser manages the portion of the Fund’s assets that the Investment Manager allocates to it. The Sub-Adviser is paid by the Investment Manager, not the Fund.
The management agreement
provides the Investment Manager with a fee, payable monthly by the Fund, at the following annual rates: 0.65% of the Fund’s average weekly Managed Assets up to $200 million, 0.60% of Managed Assets between $200
million and $500 million, 0.55% of Managed Assets between $500 million and
$900 million, 0.50% of Managed Assets
between $900 million and $1.75 billion and 0.45% of Managed Assets in excess of $1.75 billion. Managed Assets is defined in the management agreement to mean total assets of the Fund, including any form of investment
leverage, minus all accrued expenses incurred in the normal course of operations, but not excluding any liabilities or obligations attributable to investment leverage obtained through (i) indebtedness of any type
(including, without limitation, borrowing through a credit facility or the issuance of debt securities), (ii) the issuance of preferred stock or other similar preference securities, (iii) the reinvestment of
collateral received for securities loaned in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies, and/or (iv) any other means.
For the six-month period ended
April 30, 2024, the Fund paid the Investment Manager $3,064,917.
abrdn Inc., an affiliate of
the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser, is the Fund’s Administrator pursuant to an agreement under which abrdn Inc. receives a fee payable monthly by the Fund, at an annual fee rate of 0.125% of the Fund’s
average weekly Managed Assets up to $1 billion, 0.10% of the Fund’s average weekly Managed Assets between $1 billion and $2 billion, and 0.075% of the Fund’s average weekly Managed Assets in excess of $2
billion. For the six-month period ended April 30, 2024, abrdn Inc. earned $657,738 from the Fund for administration fees.
b. Investor Relations:
Under the terms of the
Investor Relations Services Agreement, abrdn Inc. provides and/or engages third parties to provide investor relations services to the Fund and certain other funds advised by abrdn Asia or its affiliates as part of an
Investor Relations Program. Under the Investor Relations Services Agreement, the Fund owes a portion of the fees related to the Investor Relations Program (the "Fund's Portion"). However, investor relations services
fees are limited by abrdn Inc. so that the Fund will only pay up to an annual rate of 0.05% of the Fund's average weekly net assets. Any difference between the capped rate of 0.05% of the Fund's average weekly net
assets and the Fund's Portion is paid for by abrdn Inc.
During the six-month period
ended April 30, 2024, the Fund incurred investor relations fees of approximately $117,365. For the six-month period ended April 30, 2024, abrdn Inc. did not bear any portion of to the investor relations fees for the
Fund because the Fund’s contribution was below 0.05% of the Fund’s average weekly net assets on an annual basis.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of
investment securities (excluding short-term securities) for the six-month period ended April 30, 2024, were $145,050,608 and $0, respectively.

5. Capital
The authorized capital of
the Fund is 400 million shares of $0.01 par value per share of common stock. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2024, the Fund repurchased no shares pursuant to its Open Market Repurchase Program, see Note 6
for further information. As of April 30, 2024, there were 247,695,769 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
6. Open Market Repurchase
Program
The Board approved an open
market repurchase and discount management policy (the “Program”). The Program allows the Fund to purchase, in the open market, its outstanding common stock, with the amount and timing of any repurchase
determined at the discretion of the Investment Manager. Such purchases may be made opportunistically at certain discounts to NAV per share in the reasonable judgment of management based on historical discount levels
and current market conditions.
On a quarterly basis, the
Board will receive information on any transactions made pursuant to this Program during the prior quarter and if shares are repurchased management will post the number of shares repurchased on the Fund’s website
on a monthly basis. Under the terms of the Program, the Fund is permitted to repurchase up to 10% of its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market during any 12 month period.
For the six-month period ended
April 30, 2024, the Fund did not repurchase any shares through this program.
7. Senior Secured Notes
At April 30, 2024, the Fund
had $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes rated ‘AAA’ by Kroll outstanding
($50,000,000 in 3.87% Series C Senior
Secured Notes due February 8, 2032, $100,000,000 in 3.70% Series D Senior Secured Notes due August 10, 2032 and $100,000,000 in 3.73% Series E Senior Secured Notes due June 19, 2034) (collectively, the
“Notes”). The Notes are secured obligations of the Fund and, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Fund, will rank senior to all unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and senior to any
common or preferred stock pari passu in priority and security with all other secured indebtedness. Holders of the Notes are entitled to receive cash interest payments semi-annually until maturity. The Series C Notes,
the Series D Notes and the Series E Notes accrue interest at annual fixed rates of 3.87%, 3.70% and 3.73%, respectively.
The Notes were issued in
private placement offerings to institutional investors and are not listed on any exchange or automated quotation system.
The estimated fair value of
each series of fixed-rate Notes was calculated, for disclosure purposes, by discounting future cash flows by a rate equal to the current U.S. Treasury rate with an equivalent maturity date, plus either 1) the spread
between the interest rate on recently issued debt and the U.S. Treasury rate with a similar maturity date or 2) if there has not been a recent debt issuance, the spread between the AAA corporate finance debt rate and
the U.S. Treasury rate with an equivalent maturity date. The following table shows the maturity date, interest rate, notional/carrying amount and estimated fair value for each series of Notes outstanding at April 30,
2024.

8. Credit
Facility
On August 1, 2023, the Fund executed an
amendment and assignment of the $100,000,000 senior secured revolving credit loan facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia, acting as administrative
agent. During the period, the Fund also Fund paid down $24,000,000 on its revolving credit facility. At April 30, 2024, the Fund had $76,000,000 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Under the terms of
the Revolving Credit Facility and the Agreement and applicable regulations, the Fund is required to maintain certain asset coverage ratios for the amount of its outstanding borrowings.
For the six-month period ended April 30,
2024, the average interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was 6.85% and the average balance of the Revolving Credit Facility was $76,000,000.
The Revolving Credit Facility
has a term of one year and is not a perpetual form of leverage; there can be no assurance that the Revolving Credit Facility will be available for renewal on acceptable terms, if at all. Bank loan fees and expenses
included in the Statement of Operations include fees for the renewal of the Revolving Credit

Facility as well as commitment fees for any
portion of the loan facility not drawn upon at any time during the period.
9. Risks of Leveraged Capital
Structure
The Fund may use leverage
to the maximum extent permitted by the 1940 Act, which permits leverage to exceed 33 1/3% of the Fund’s total assets (including the amount obtained through leverage) in certain market conditions.
The amounts borrowed under
the Revolving Credit Facility and the Notes, may be invested to return higher rates than the rates pursuant to which interests or dividends are paid under such forms of leverage. However, the cost of leverage could
exceed the income earned by the Fund on the proceeds of such leverage. To the extent that the Fund is unable to invest the proceeds from the use of leverage in assets which pay interest at a rate which exceeds the
rate paid on the leverage, the yield on the Fund’s common stock will decrease. In addition, in the event of a general market decline in the value of assets in which the Fund invests, the effect of that decline
will be magnified in the Fund because of the additional assets purchased with the proceeds of the leverage.
The Fund’s leveraged
capital structure creates special risks not associated with unleveraged funds having similar investment objectives and policies. The funds borrowed pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility and the Notes may
constitute a substantial lien and burden by reason of their prior claim against the income of the Fund and against the net assets of the Fund in liquidation. The Fund is limited in its ability to declare dividends or
other distributions under the terms of the various forms of leverage. In the event of an event of default under the Revolving Credit Facility, the lenders have the right to cause a liquidation of the collateral (i.e.,
sell portfolio securities and other assets of the Fund) and, if any such default is not cured, the lenders may be able to control the liquidation as well. In the event of an event of default under the Note Purchase
Agreement, the holders of the Notes have the right to cause a liquidation of the collateral (i.e., sell portfolio securities and other assets of the Fund). A liquidation of the Fund’s collateral assets in an
event of default, or a voluntary paydown of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Notes in order to avoid an event of default, would typically involve administrative expenses and sometimes penalties. Additionally, such
liquidations often involve selling off of portions of the Fund’s assets at inopportune times which can result in losses when markets are unfavorable.
Each of the Revolving Credit
Facility Agreement, and the Note Purchase Agreement includes usual and customary covenants for the applicable type of transaction. These covenants impose on the Fund asset coverage requirements, Fund composition
requirements and limits on certain investments, such as illiquid investments, which are more stringent than those imposed on the Fund by the 1940 Act. The covenants or guidelines could impede the Investment Manager
or
Sub-Adviser from fully managing the
Fund’s portfolio in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. Furthermore, non-compliance with such covenants or the occurrence of other events could lead to the cancellation of any
and/or all of the forms of leverage. As of April 30, 2024, the Fund was in compliance with all covenants under the agreements relating to the various forms of leverage.
During the six-month period
ended April 30, 2024, the Fund incurred fees of approximately $7,364,732 for the Revolving Credit Facility and Notes.
10. Portfolio Investment
Risks
a. Bank Loan Risk:
There are a number of risks
associated with an investment in bank loans including credit risk, interest rate risk, illiquid securities risk, and prepayment risk. There is also the possibility that the collateral securing a loan, if any, may be
difficult to liquidate or be insufficient to cover the amount owed under the loan. These risks could cause the Fund to lose income or principal on a particular investment, which in turn could affect the Fund’s
returns. In addition, bank loans may settle on a delayed basis, resulting in the proceeds from the sale of such loans not being readily available to make additional investments or distributions. To the extent the
extended settlement process gives rise to short-term liquidity needs, the Fund may hold additional cash, sell investments or temporarily borrow from banks or other lenders.
b. Credit and Market
Risk:
A debt instrument’s
price depends, in part, on the credit quality of the issuer, borrower, counterparty, or underlying collateral and can decline in response to changes in the financial condition of the issuer, borrower, counterparty, or
underlying collateral, or changes in specific or general market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions. Funds that invest in high yield and emerging market instruments are
subject to certain additional credit and market risks. The yields of high yield and emerging market debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit risk. The Fund's investments in securities rated below
investment grade typically involve risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, greater risk of not receiving timely and/or ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market
price volatility, and less liquid secondary market trading. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, war, terrorism, natural disasters, public health issues like pandemics or
epidemics, and other circumstances in one country or region could have profound impacts on global economies or markets.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
April 30, 2024
c. Focus Risk:
The Fund may have elements
of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States due to focused investments in a limited number of countries or regions subject to foreign securities or currency risks. Such focused investments
may subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could
cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.
d. High-Yield Bonds and
Other Lower-Rated Securities Risk:
The Fund’s
investments in high-yield bonds (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. Investments in high-yield bonds are speculative
and issuers of these securities are generally considered to be less financially secure and less able to repay interest and principal than issuers of investment-grade securities. Prices of high-yield bonds tend to be
very volatile. These securities are less liquid than investment-grade debt securities and may be difficult to price or sell, particularly in times of negative sentiment toward high-yield securities.
e. Interest Rate Risk:
The prices of fixed income
securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to perceptions about the creditworthiness of individual issuers, including governments. Generally, the Fund's fixed income
securities will decrease in value if interest rates rise and vice versa, and the volatility of lower-rated securities is even greater than that of higher-rated securities. Also, longer-term securities are generally
more volatile, so the average maturity or duration of these securities affects risk.
The Fund may be subject to a
greater interest rate risk due to a changing interest rate environment and the effect of potential government fiscal and monetary policy initiatives and resulting market reaction to those initiatives. Changes in
interest rates or a lack of market participants may lead to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the fixed-income or debt markets, making it more difficult for the Fund to sell its holdings.
f. Risk Associated with
Foreign Securities and Currencies:
Investments in securities
of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange
controls or other foreign
governmental laws and restrictions. In
addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, and political or social instability or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect
investments in those countries. Foreign securities may also be harder to price than U.S. securities.
Certain countries also may
impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These
factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.
The value of foreign
currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar fluctuates in response to market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical or other conditions. A decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. Dollar reduces
the value in U.S. Dollars of investments denominated in that foreign currency. This risk may impact the Fund more greatly to the extent the Fund does not hedge its currency risk, or hedging techniques used by the
Advisers are unsuccessful.
g. Russia/Ukraine Risk:
In February 2022, Russia
commenced a military attack on Ukraine. The outbreak of hostilities between the two countries and the threat of wider spread hostilities could have a severe adverse effect on the region and global economies, including
significant negative impacts on the markets for certain securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas. In addition, sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and other countries, and any sanctions
imposed in the future, could have a significant adverse impact on the Russian economy and related markets. The price and liquidity of investments may fluctuate widely as a result of the conflict and related events.
This armed conflict is still ongoing as of the date of this report. How long the armed conflict and related events will last cannot be predicted. These tensions and any related events could have a significant impact
on Fund performance and the value of the Fund's investments.
11. Contingencies
In the normal course of
business, the Fund may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made
against the Fund, and therefore, cannot be estimated; however, the Fund expects the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.

Dividend Reinvestment and Optional Cash Purchase
Plan (Unaudited)
The Fund intends to distribute to
shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and to distribute any net realized capital gains at least annually. Net investment income for this purpose is income other than net realized long-term and
short-term capital gains net of expenses. Pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment and Optional Cash Purchase Plan (the “Plan”), shareholders whose shares of common stock are registered in their own names
will be deemed to have elected to have all distributions automatically reinvested by Computershare Trust Company N.A. (the “Plan Agent”) in the Fund shares pursuant to the Plan, unless such shareholders
elect to receive distributions in cash. Shareholders who elect to receive distributions in cash will receive such distributions paid by check in U.S. Dollars mailed directly to the shareholder by the Plan Agent, as
dividend paying agent. In the case of shareholders such as banks, brokers or nominees that hold shares for others who are beneficial owners, the Plan Agent will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of shares
certified from time to time by the shareholders as representing the total amount registered in such shareholders’ names and held for the account of beneficial owners that have not elected to receive
distributions in cash. Investors that own shares registered in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee should consult with such nominee as to participation in the Plan through such nominee and may be required to
have their shares registered in their own names in order to participate in the Plan. Please note that the Fund does not issue certificates so all shares will be registered in book entry form. The Plan Agent serves as
agent for the shareholders in administering the Plan. If the Directors of the Fund declare an income dividend or a capital gains distribution payable either in the Fund’s common stock or in cash, nonparticipants
in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive common stock, to be issued by the Fund or purchased by the Plan Agent in the open market, as provided below. If the market price per share (plus
expected per share fees) on the valuation date equals or exceeds NAV per share on that date, the Fund will issue new shares to participants at NAV; provided, however, that if the NAV is less than 95% of the market
price on the valuation date, then such shares will be issued at 95% of the market price. The valuation date will be the payable date for such distribution or dividend or, if that date is not a trading day on the NYSE
American, the immediately preceding trading date. If NAV exceeds the market price of Fund shares at such time, or if the Fund should declare an income dividend or capital gains distribution payable only in cash, the
Plan Agent will, as agent for the participants, buy Fund shares in the open market, on the NYSE American or elsewhere, for the participants’ accounts on, or shortly after, the payment date. If, before the Plan
Agent has completed its purchases, the market price exceeds the NAV of the Fund share, the average per share purchase price paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the NAV of the Fund’s shares, resulting in the
acquisition of fewer shares than if the distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund on the dividend payment date. Because of
the foregoing difficulty with respect to
open-market purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full dividend amount in open-market purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium
during the purchase period, the Plan Agent will cease making open-market purchases and will receive the uninvested portion of the dividend amount in newly issued shares at the close of business on the last purchase
date.
Participants have the option
of making additional cash payments of a minimum of $50 per investment (by check, one-time online bank debit or recurring automatic monthly ACH debit) to the Plan Agent for investment in the Fund’s common stock,
with an annual maximum contribution of $250,000. The Plan Agent will wait up to three business days after receipt of a check or electronic funds transfer to ensure it receives good funds. Following confirmation of
receipt of good funds, the Plan Agent will use all such funds received from participants to purchase Fund shares in the open market on the 25th day of each month or the next trading day if the 25th is not a trading
day.
If the participant sets up
recurring automatic monthly ACH debits, funds will be withdrawn from his or her U.S. bank account on the 20th of each month or the next business day if the 20th is not a banking business day and invested on the next
investment date. The Plan Agent maintains all shareholder accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmations of all transactions in an account, including information needed by shareholders for personal and tax
records. Shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Agent in the name of the participant, and each shareholder’s proxy will include those shares purchased pursuant to the Plan. There
will be no brokerage charges with respect to common shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a per share fee of $0.02 incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open market purchases
in connection with the reinvestment of dividends, capital gains distributions and voluntary cash payments made by the participant. Per share fees include any applicable brokerage commissions the Plan Agent is required
to pay.
Participants also have the
option of selling their shares through the Plan. The Plan supports two types of sales orders. Batch order sales are submitted on each market day and will be grouped with other sale requests to be sold. The price will
be the average sale price obtained by Computershare’s broker, net of fees, for each batch order and will be sold generally within 2 business days of the request during regular open market hours. Please note that
all written sales requests are always processed by Batch Order. ($10 and $0.12 per share). Market Order sales will sell at the next available trade. The shares are sold real time when they hit the market, however an
available trade must be presented to complete this transaction. Market Order sales may only

The receipt of dividends and

payments made and any dividend or distribution paid subsequent to notice of the termination sent to members of the Plan at least 30 days prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution. The Plan also may be
amended by
the Fund or the Plan Agent, but (except when
necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or the rules or policies of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory authority) only by mailing a written notice at least 30 days prior to
the effective date to the participants in the Plan.

On March 1, 2001, the Board of Trustees approved an open market share repurchase program (the “Program”). The Program allows the Fund to purchase, in the open market, its outstanding common shares, with the amount and timing of any repurchase determined at the discretion of the Fund’s investment adviser. Such purchases may be made opportunistically at certain discounts to NAV per share in the reasonable judgment of management based on historical discount levels and current market conditions. On a quarterly basis, the Fund’s Board will receive information on any transactions made pursuant to this policy during the prior quarter and management will post the number of shares repurchased on the Fund's website on a monthly basis. Under the terms of the Program, the Fund is permitted to repurchase up to 10% of its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market during any 12 month period as of October 31 of the prior year. For the period ended April 30, 2024, the Fund did not repurchase any shares through this program. |

Each closed-end fund listed above (each a "Fund" and collectively,
the "Funds") announced today that it paid on July 31, 2023, a distribution to all shareholders of record as of July 24,
2023 (ex-dividend date July 21, 2023).
Under U.S. tax rules applicable to the Funds, the amount and character
of distributable income for each fiscal year can be finally determined only as of the end of the Funds’ fiscal year. However, under
Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and related Rules, the Funds may be required
to indicate to shareholders the estimated source of certain distributions to shareholders.
The following tables set forth the estimated amounts of the sources
of the distributions for purposes of Section 19 of the 1940 Act and the rules adopted thereunder. The tables have been computed
based on generally accepted accounting principles. The tables include estimated amounts and percentages for the current distributions
paid this month as well as for the cumulative distributions paid relating to fiscal year to date, from the following sources: net investment
income; net realized short-term capital gains; net realized long-term capital gains; and return of capital. The estimated compositions
of the distributions may vary because the estimated composition may be impacted by future income, expenses and realized gains and losses
on securities and currencies.
The Funds’ estimated sources of the distributions paid this month
and for their current fiscal year to date are as follows:

has a 9/30 fiscal year end.
** includes currency gains.
Where the estimated amounts above show a portion of the distribution
to be a “Return of Capital,” it means that Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains;
therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur for example, when some or all of the
money that you invested in a Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s
investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.”
As of July 18, 2023, after giving effect to this payment, AWP
estimates it has a net deficit of $63,686,000.00. A net deficit results when the Fund has net unrealized losses that are in excess of
any net realized gains that have not yet been distributed.
Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s
investment performance from the amount of the Fund’s current distributions.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates
and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The final determination of the source of all distributions in 2023 will be made
after year- end. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment
experience during the remainder of the fiscal year and may be subject to change based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV
for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
Circular 230 disclosure: To ensure compliance with requirements
imposed by the U.S. Treasury, we inform you that any U.S. tax advice contained in this communication (including any attachments) is not
intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or
(ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed herein.
In the United States, abrdn is the marketing name for the following
affiliated, registered investment advisers: abrdn Inc., abrdn Investments Limited, abrdn Asia Limited, Aberdeen Capital Management, LLC,
abrdn ETFs Advisors LLC and abrdn Alternative Funds Limited.
Closed-end funds are traded on the secondary market through one of
the stock exchanges. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares may be worth
more or less than the original cost. Shares of closed-end funds may trade above (a premium) or below (a discount) the net asset value
(NAV) of the fund’s portfolio. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Past performance does
not guarantee future results.

of distributable income for each fiscal year can be finally determined only as of the end of the Funds’ fiscal year. However, under
Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and related Rules, the Funds may be required
to indicate to shareholders the estimated source of certain distributions to shareholders.
The following tables set forth the estimated amounts of the sources
of the distributions for purposes of Section 19 of the 1940 Act and the rules adopted thereunder. The tables have been computed
based on generally accepted accounting principles. The tables include estimated amounts and percentages for the current distributions
paid this month as well as for the cumulative distributions paid relating to fiscal year to date, from the following sources: net investment
income; net realized short-term capital gains; net realized long-term capital gains; and return of capital. The estimated compositions
of the distributions may vary because the estimated composition may be impacted by future income, expenses and realized gains and losses
on securities and currencies.

Where the estimated amounts above show a portion of the distribution
to be a “Return of Capital,” it means that Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains;
therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur for example, when some or all of the
money that you invested in a Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s
investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.”
As of September 12, 2023, after giving effect to this payment,
AWP estimates it has a net deficit of $77,451,000.00. A net deficit results when the Fund has net unrealized losses that are in excess
of any net realized gains that have not yet been distributed.
Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s
investment performance from the amount of the Fund’s current distributions.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates
and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The final determination of the source of all distributions in 2023 will be made
after year- end. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment
experience during the remainder of the fiscal year and may be subject to change based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV
for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Where the estimated amounts above show a portion of the distribution
to be a “Return of Capital,” it means that Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains;
therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur for example, when some or all the
money that you invested in a Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s
investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.”
Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s
investment performance from the amount of the Fund’s current distributions.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates
and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The final determination of the source of all distributions in 2023 will be made
after year- end. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment
experience during the remainder of the fiscal year and may be subject to change based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV
for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Each closed-end fund listed above (each a "Fund" and collectively,
the "Funds") announced today that it paid on January 10, 2024, a distribution to all shareholders of record as of December 29,
2023 (ex-dividend date December 28, 2023).
Under U.S. tax rules applicable to the Funds, the amount and character
of distributable income for each fiscal year can be finally determined only as of the end of the Funds’ fiscal year. However, under
Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and related Rules, the Funds may be required
to indicate to shareholders the estimated source of certain distributions to shareholders.
The following tables set forth the estimated amounts of the sources
of the distributions for purposes of Section 19 of the 1940 Act and the rules adopted thereunder. The tables have been computed
based on generally accepted accounting principles. The tables include estimated amounts and percentages for the current distributions
paid this month as well as for the cumulative distributions paid relating to fiscal year to date, from the following sources: net investment
income; net realized short-term capital gains; net realized long-term capital gains; and return of capital. The estimated compositions
of the distributions may vary because the estimated composition may be impacted by future income, expenses and realized gains and losses
on securities and currencies.

and for their current fiscal year to date are as follows:

Where the estimated amounts above show a portion of the distribution
to be a “Return of Capital,” it means that Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains;
therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur for example, when some or all the
money that you invested in a Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s
investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.”
Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s
investment performance from the amount of the Fund’s current distributions.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates
and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The final determination of the source of all distributions in 2023 will be made
after year- end. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment
experience during the remainder of the fiscal year and may be subject to change based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV
for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Each closed-end fund listed above (each a “Fund”
and collectively, the “Funds”) announced today that it paid on March 28, 2024, a distribution to all shareholders of
record as of March 21, 2024 (ex-dividend date March 20, 2024).
Under U.S. tax rules applicable to the Funds, the amount
and character of distributable income for each fiscal year can be finally determined only as of the end of the Funds’ fiscal year.
However, under Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and related Rules, the Funds
may be required to indicate to shareholders the estimated source of certain distributions to shareholders.
The following tables set forth the estimated amounts of the
sources of the distributions for purposes of Section 19 of the 1940 Act and the rules adopted thereunder. The tables have been
computed based on generally accepted accounting principles. The tables include estimated amounts and percentages for the current distributions
paid this month as well as for the cumulative distributions paid relating to fiscal year to date, from the following sources: net investment
income; net realized short-term capital gains; net realized long-term capital gains; and return of capital. The estimated compositions
of the distributions may vary because the estimated composition may be impacted by future income, expenses and realized gains and losses
on securities and currencies.
The Funds’ estimated sources of the distributions paid
this month and for their current fiscal year to date are as follows:

and character of distributable income for each fiscal year can be finally determined only as of the end of the Funds’ fiscal year.
However, under Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and related Rules, the Funds
may be required to indicate to shareholders the estimated source of certain distributions to shareholders.
The following tables set forth the estimated amounts of the
sources of the distributions for purposes of Section 19 of the 1940 Act and the rules adopted thereunder. The tables have been
computed based on generally accepted accounting principles. The tables include estimated amounts and percentages for the current distributions
paid this month as well as for the cumulative distributions paid relating to fiscal year to date, from the following sources: net investment
income; net realized short-term capital gains; net realized long-term capital gains; and return of capital. The estimated compositions
of the distributions may vary because the estimated composition may be impacted by future income, expenses and realized gains and losses
on securities and currencies.

this month and for their current fiscal year to date are as follows:

end. VFL has a 9/30 fiscal year end.
** includes currency gains.
Where the estimated amounts above show a portion of the distribution
to be a “Return of Capital,” it means that Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains;
therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur for example, when some or all the
money that you invested in a Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s
investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.”
Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the
Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the Fund’s current distributions.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported are
only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The final determination of the source of all distributions in 2024
will be made after year-end. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s
investment experience during the remainder of the fiscal year and may be subject to change based on tax regulations. The Fund will send
you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
