JPMorgan China Region Fund, Inc.

Accordingly, based on the solicitor’s preliminary vote count, the Fund’s stockholders have voted to:

  • Approve the election of Mr. John R. Hass and Mr. Alistair E.M. Laband as Directors for a term expiring in 2019; and
  • Reject the two stockholder proposals put forth by two activist stockholders, Ancora Catalyst Fund LP and Merlin Partners LP, to terminate the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and JF International Management Inc., and to request the Board authorize a self-tender offer and potential liquidation of the Fund.

Final results of the election will be published once they are certified by the independent inspector of elections following the customary review period.
