Proposal to Liquidate the Company

The Board of abrdn Latin American Income Fund Limited (the "Company")
announces that proposals will be put forward for the Company to be placed into
summary winding up (the Jersey solvent liquidation process commenced by
members' special resolution), with the cash proceeds of the liquidation being
returned to shareholders (the "Proposals").

While the Board believes that the Company's strategy remains attractive in the
longer term, it is aware that the Company's small size makes it difficult to
attract significant demand for its shares and that the discount at which the
shares trade to net asset value is likely to persist.

The Board has considered the views of its largest shareholder and its
professional advisors and, taking into account the composition of the share
register as a whole, believes that the Proposals are in the best interests of
shareholders.

The Company will publish a Circular in due course setting out details of the
Proposals and to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting at which approval
for the Proposals will be sought from shareholders. It is anticipated that, if
shareholder approval is forthcoming, the Company would be placed into summary
winding up by the end of May 2023.

The Board will recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the Proposals.

MAR.
