NOTES:-

1.   Only those shareholders registered in the register of members of the
Fund as at 1 April 2022 or, if the EGM is adjourned, the day that is two days
before the day appointed for the adjourned EGM, are entitled to attend and
vote at the EGM or at any adjournment thereof.  Changes in the register of
members after this time will be disregarded in determining the rights of any
person to attend and/or vote at the EGM or any adjournment thereof.

2.   As a result of the Company's move to the International Central
Securities Depositary ("ICSD") settlement model, The Bank of New York
(Depository) Nominees Limited is the only registered shareholder of the
Fund.

3.   The Bank of New York (Depository) Nominees Limited, being the only
registered shareholder of the Fund, is entitled to appoint a proxy or an
authorised representative to attend, speak and vote on its behalf. A proxy or
an authorised representative need not be a member of the Fund. The form of
proxy enclosed with this notice of EGM is therefore only for use by the
registered shareholder of the Fund.

4.   Investors in the Fund should submit their voting instructions through
an ICSD or through a participant in the ICSD being their local central
securities depositary (which in turn should be instructed to submit their
voting instructions to the ICSD) to ensure the sole registered shareholder of
the Fund votes in accordance with their instructions.  Investors who have
invested in the Fund via their brokers, dealers or intermediaries should
contact these entities to provide voting instructions to the ICSD on their
behalf.  In accordance with their respective rules and procedures, each ICSD
is  required to collate and transfer all votes received from its participants
to the Company's common depositary, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch
(the "Common Depositary"), and the Common Depositary is, in turn, required to
collate and transfer all votes received from each ICSD to The Bank of New York
(Depository) Nominees Limited, which is obligated to vote in accordance with
the Common Depositary's voting instructions. Investors should consult with
their brokers, dealers or intermediaries to understand any timing implications
for them in this regard.

5.   To be valid, a completed form of proxy and any power of attorney under
which it is signed must be deposited with mfdsecretaries@maples.com
(mailto:mfdsecretaries@maples.com)  by no later than 10.00am on 22 April
2022, or if the EGM is adjourned, not less than 48 hours before the time
appointed for the holding of the adjourned meeting.
