Letter to Shareholders (unaudited)

Dear Shareholder,

We present the Semi-Annual Report, which covers the activities of abrdn Emerging Markets Equity Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”), for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide both current income and long-term capital appreciation.

Total Investment Return¹

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the total return to shareholders of the Fund based on the net asset value (“NAV”) and market price of the Fund, respectively, compared to the Fund’s benchmark is as follows:

NAV²^,³	6.46%
Market Price²	7.13%
MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net Daily Total Return)⁴	7.49%

For more information about Fund performance, please visit the Fund on the web at www.abrdnaef.com. Here, you can view quarterly commentary on the Fund's performance, monthly fact sheets, distribution and performance information, and other Fund literature.

NAV, Market Price and Premium(+)/Discount(-)

The below table represents comparison from current six-month period end to prior fiscal year end of market price to NAV and associated Premium(+) and Discount(-).


	NAV	Closing Market Price	Premium(+)/ Discount(-)
6/30/2024	$6.12	$5.28	-13.71%
12/31/2023	$5.96	$5.11	-14.26%

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund’s NAV was within a range of $5.54 to $6.32 and the Fund’s market price traded within a range of $4.73 to $5.38. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund’s shares traded within a range of a

premium(+)/discount(-) of -16.33% to -12.98%. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 and fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund made distributions of $0.19 and $0.39, respectively.

Distribution Policy

The Fund has a managed distribution policy of paying quarterly distributions at an annual rate, set once a year, as a percentage of the rolling average of the Fund’s NAVs over the preceding three month period ending on the last day of the month immediately preceding the distribution’s declaration date. In December 2023, the Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Board”) determined the rolling distribution rate to be 6.5% for the 12-month period commencing with the distribution payable in March 2024. This policy will be subject to regular review by the Board.

The policy is expected to provide a steady and sustainable quarterly cash distribution to Fund shareholders that may help reduce any discount to NAV at which the Fund’s shares trade. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve these results.

The distributions will be made from net investment income generated by dividends paid from the Fund’s underlying securities and return of capital. As net assets of the Fund may vary from quarter to quarter, the quarterly distribution may represent more or less than one quarter of 6.5% of the Fund’s net assets at the time of distribution. Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the distributions or the terms of the Fund’s policy.

Conditional Tender Offer

In May 2023, the Board adopted a policy pursuant to which it will cause the Fund to conduct a one-time tender offer for twenty percent (20%) of its then issued and outstanding shares of common stock on or before December 31, 2025, if the Fund's total return investment performance measured on a NAV basis does not equal or exceed the total return investment performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net Daily Total Return) during the period commencing on October 1, 2022 and ending on September 30, 2025. For the period

{foots1}

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate and shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. NAV return data include investment management fees, custodial charges and administrative fees (such as Director and legal fees) and assumes the reinvestment of all distributions.

The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net Daily Total Return) (the "Index") captures large and mid-cap representation across 24 Emerging Markets (EM) countries. With 1,375 constituents, the Index covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each country. EM countries in the Index are: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and United Arab Emirates. The Index is calculated net of withholding taxes to which the Fund is generally subject. The Index is unmanaged and has been provided for comparison purposes only. No fees or expenses are reflected. You cannot invest directly in an index. Index performance is not an indication of the performance of the Fund itself. For complete Fund performance, please visit http://www.abrdnaef.com.

Letter to Shareholders (unaudited) (concluded)

October 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024, the Fund's total return was 17.64% compared to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net Daily Total Return) of 15.92%.

Credit Facility

On June 18, 2024, the Fund renewed its revolving credit facility for a 1-year period with The Bank of Nova Scotia with a committed facility of $50,000,000. The outstanding balance on the loan as of June 30, 2024 was $35,000,000. Under the terms of the loan facility and applicable regulations, the Fund is required to maintain certain asset coverage ratios for the amount of its outstanding borrowings. The Board regularly reviews the use of leverage by the Fund.

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”). 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. If shares are repurchased, the Fund reports repurchase activity on its website on a monthly basis. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund did not repurchase any shares through the Program.

On a quarterly basis, the 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 its 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.

Performance of a $10,000 Investment (as of June 30, 2024)

This graph shows the change in value of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund for the periods indicated. For comparison, the same investment is shown in the indicated index.

All performance information for the periods prior to April 30, 2018 are for the Aberdeen Latin American Equity Fund, Inc. (“LAQ”), the performance and accounting survivor of the reorganizations of seven closed-end funds into the Fund. Performance information for periods prior to April 30, 2018 do not reflect the Fund’s current investment strategy. Returns prior to April 30, 2018 reflect the impact of any contractual waivers in effect for LAQ, without which performance would be lower. Effective April 30, 2018, abrdn Investments Limited (formerly known as Aberdeen Asset Managers Limited) (the "Investment Adviser" or the "Adviser"), the Fund’s Adviser, entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund that is effective through June 30, 2025. Without such waivers and limitation agreements, performance would be lower.

abrdn Inc. has entered into an agreement with the Fund to limit investor relations services fees,without which performance would be lower if the Fund’s investor services fees exceeded such limit during the relevant period. 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.

The Custom Index reflects the returns of the MSCI Emerging Markets Latin America Index (Net Daily Total Return) for periods prior to April 27, 2018 and the returns of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net Daily Total Return) for periods subsequent to April 30, 2018. The indices and time periods for the Custom Index align with the strategies utilized by and benchmark for the Fund during the same time periods.

Total Investment Return (unaudited) (concluded)

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 New York Stock Exchange ("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 during the six-month period ended June 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.abrdnaef.com or by calling 800-522-5465.

The annualized total expense ratio excluding fee waivers based on the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 was 2.08%. The annualized total expense ratio net of fee waivers based on the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 was 1.99%. The annualized total expense ratio net of fee waivers and excluding interest expense based on the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 was 1.20%.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
June 30, 2024

1. Organization

abrdn Emerging Markets Equity Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland on January 30, 1989 and commenced investment operations on September 27, 1989. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified closed-end, management investment company. The Fund trades on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol “AEF.”

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.

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 1940 Act, the Board of Directors (the "Board") designated abrdn Investments Limited (the "Adviser") 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 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 net asset value (“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.

Equity securities that are traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price or the official close price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded at the “Valuation Time” subject to application, when appropriate, of the valuation factors described in the paragraph below. 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). In the absence of a sale price, the security is valued at the mean of the bid/ask price quoted at the close on the principal exchange on which the security is traded. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price.

Foreign equity securities that are traded on foreign exchanges that close prior to the Valuation Time are valued by applying valuation factors to the last sale price or the mean price as noted above. Valuation factors are provided by an independent pricing service provider. These valuation factors are used when pricing the Fund's portfolio holdings to estimate market movements between the time foreign markets close and the time the Fund values such foreign securities. These valuation factors are based on inputs such as depositary receipts, indices, futures, sector indices/ETFs, exchange rates, and local exchange opening and closing prices of each security. When prices with the application of valuation factors are utilized, the value assigned to the foreign securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on their primary markets. A security that applies a valuation factor is generally determined to be a Level 2 investment because the exchange-traded price has been

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
June 30, 2024

adjusted. Valuation factors are not utilized if the independent pricing service provider is unable to provide a valuation factor or if the valuation factor falls below a predetermined threshold.

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.

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. A security that has been fair valued by the Adviser 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).

The Fund may also invest in private equity private placement securities, which represented less than 0.1% of the net assets of the Fund as of June 30, 2024. The private equity private placement securities in which the Fund is invested are deemed to be restricted securities. In the absence of readily ascertainable market values, these securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of the Board, pursuant to valuation policies and procedures established by the Board. The Fund’s estimate of fair value assumes a willing buyer and a willing seller neither of whom are acting under the compulsion to buy or sell. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized on such sales could differ from the prices originally paid by the Fund or the current carrying values, and the difference could be material. These securities are stated at fair value by utilizing the net asset valuations provided by the underlying funds as a practical expedient. In determining the fair value of these investments, management uses the market approach which includes as the primary input the capital balance reported; however, adjustments to the reported capital balance may be made based on various factors, including, but not limited to, the attributes of the interest held, including the rights and obligations, and any restrictions or illiquidity of such interests, and the fair value of these private equity investments. No such adjustments were made to the NAVs provided by the underlying funds.

A summary of standard inputs is listed below:

Security Type	Standard Inputs
Foreign equities utilizing a fair value factor	Depositary receipts, indices, futures, sector indices/ETFs, exchange rates, and local exchange opening and closing prices of each security.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of June 30, 2024 in valuing the Fund's investments and other financial instruments at fair value. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

^(a)

Private Equity investments are measured at the net asset valuations provided by the underlying funds as a practical expedient and have not been classified in the fair value levels. The fair value amounts presented are intended to permit reconciliation to the total investment amount presented in the Portfolio of Investments.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, there have been no transfers between levels and no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies. Level 3 investments held during and at the end of the six-month period in relation to net assets were not significant (0.0% of total net assets) and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 is not presented. The valuation technique used at June 30, 2024 was fair valuation at zero pursuant to procedures approved by the Board.

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:

(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 does not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments in equity securities due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from the portion due to changes in market prices of equity securities. Accordingly, realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses with respect to such securities are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investment transactions balances.

The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions and foreign taxes withheld on security transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such foreign

currency related transactions are treated as ordinary income for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Net unrealized currency gains or losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at period end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation/depreciation in value of investments, and translation of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

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. Rights Issues and Warrants:

Rights issues give the right, normally to existing shareholders, to buy a proportional number of additional securities at a given price (generally at a discount) within a fixed period (generally a short-term period) and are offered at the company’s discretion. Warrants are securities that give the holder the right to buy common stock at a specified price for a specified period of time. Rights issues and warrants are speculative and have no value if they are not exercised before the expiration date. Rights issues and warrants are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are traded.

e. Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses:

Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized and unrealized gains/(losses) from security and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except for certain dividends on foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed after the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

Certain distributions received by the Fund could represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
June 30, 2024

distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain.

f. Distributions:

The Fund records dividends and distributions payable to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These book basis/tax basis differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions which exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.

g. Federal Income Taxes:

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 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended 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 December 31, 2023 are subject to such review.

h. 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 and are recorded on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files for tax reclaims for the refund of such withholdings taxes according to tax treaties. Tax reclaims that are deemed collectible are booked as tax reclaim receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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 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 is reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

3. Agreements and Transactions with Affiliates

a. Investment Adviser:

abrdn Investments Limited serves as the Fund’s investment adviser with respect to all investments. The Adviser is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of abrdn plc. The Adviser receives an annual fee, calculated weekly and paid quarterly, equal to 0.90% of the first $250 million, 0.80% of amounts $250-$500 million and 0.75% of amounts over $500 million. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Adviser earned $1,327,442 for advisory services.

The Adviser and the Fund are party to an expense limitation agreement dated April 27, 2018 (the "Expense Limitation Agreement"), which was in effect through June 30, 2024. At a meeting of the Board held on June 11, 2024, the Expense Limitation Agreement was renewed through June 30, 2025. The Expense Limitation Agreement limits the total ordinary operating expenses of the Fund (excluding any interest, taxes, brokerage fees, short sale dividend and interest expenses and non-routine expenses) from exceeding 1.20% of the average daily Net Assets of the Fund on an annualized basis. Through June 30, 2024, the Adviser waived a total of $130,260 pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement. The Adviser may request and receive reimbursement of the advisory fees waived and other expenses reimbursed pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement as of a date not more than three years after the date when the Adviser limited the fees or reimbursed the expenses; provided that the following requirements are met: the reimbursements do not cause the Fund to exceed the lesser of the applicable expense limitation in the contract at the time the fees were limited or expenses are paid or the applicable expense limitation in effect at the time the expenses are being recouped by the Adviser (the “Reimbursement Requirements”).

As of June 30, 2024, to the extent the Reimbursement Requirements are met, the cumulative potential reimbursements to the Adviser for the Fund, based on expenses reimbursed by the Adviser, including adjustments described above, would be:

Total*		$723,686

*	Amounts reported are due to expire throughout the respective 3-year expiration period presented above.

b. Fund Administration:

abrdn Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, is the Fund’s Administrator, pursuant to an agreement under which abrdn Inc. receives a fee paid by the Fund, at an annual fee rate of 0.08% of the Fund’s average monthly net assets. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, abrdn Inc. earned $120,312 from the Fund for administration services.

c. 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 the Adviser 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 June 30, 2024, the Fund incurred investor relations fees of approximately $38,906. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, abrdn Inc. did not contribute 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 June 30, 2024, were $71,024,488 and $81,185,015, respectively.

5. Capital

The authorized capital of the Fund is 100 million shares of $0.001 par value per share of common stock. As of June 30, 2024, there were 50,751,778 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

6. Open Market Repurchase Program

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 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.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund did not repurchase any shares through this program.

7. Credit Facility

On June 18, 2024, the Fund renewed its revolving credit facility for a 1-year period with The Bank of Nova Scotia with a committed facility of $50,000,000. Previously the committed facility amount was $40,000,000. The outstanding balance on the loan as of June 30, 2024 was $35,000,000. During the current fiscal period ended June 30, 2024 the average daily balance outstanding and the average interest rate on the loan facility was $35,000,000 and 6.68%, respectively. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the average daily balance outstanding and the average interest rate on the loan facility was $44,315,068 and 6.35%, respectively. The interest expense is accrued on a daily basis and is payable to The Bank of Nova Scotia on a monthly basis. The Fund uses leverage for investment purposes. In the event of a general market decrease 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. Non-recurring expenses in connection with the implementation of the loan facility will reduce the Fund’s performance.

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 loan facility 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 not permitted to declare dividends or other distributions in the event of default under the loan facility. In the event of a default under the loan 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. A liquidation of the Fund’s collateral assets in an event of default, or a voluntary paydown of the loan facility 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

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
June 30, 2024

can result in losses when markets are unfavorable. The loan facility has a one year term and is not a perpetual form of leverage; there can be no assurance that the loan 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 loan facility as well as commitment fees for any portion of the loan facility not drawn upon at any time during the period. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund incurred fees of approximately $12,981.

The credit agreement governing the loan facility includes usual and customary covenants for this 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 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 the loan facility.

8. Private Equity Investments

Certain of the Fund’s investments, listed in the chart below, are restricted as to resale and are valued at NAV as a practical expedient.

Security^(a)	Acquisition Date(s)	Commitment	Cost	Fair Value at June 30, 2024	Percent of Net Assets	Cumulative Distributions Received^(b)

Amounts listed as “–” are $0 or round to $0.

(a)	Telesoft Partners II QP, L.P. is still considered an active investment by the Fund’s Adviser. BPA Israel Ventures, LLC, and Emerging Markets Ventures I, L.P. are in liquidation.
(b)	Cumulative Distributions include distributions received from Income, realized gains or return of capital. Distributions from return of capital will reduce the cost basis of the security.
(c)	BPA Israel Ventures LLC has open commitments of $1,250,825. Emerging Markets Ventures I, L.P. has open commitments of $1,555,957. These investments are in liquidation status, as indicated on the Portfolio of Investments. As such, future contributions are expected to be limited.

The Fund may incur certain costs in connection with the disposition of the above securities.

9. Portfolio Investment Risks

a. China Risk:

The economy of China differs from the U.S. and other more established economies in such respects as structure, general development, government involvement, wealth distribution, rate of inflation, growth rate, allocation of resources and capital reinvestment, and some of these differences are unfavorable to investors. Therefore, investing in China involves a high degree of risk and special considerations not typically associated with investing in other more established economies or securities markets. Exposure to China may be gained through investments in securities that are economically tied to China or, in some cases, through direct investment in China securities. The Fund invests in China A shares. China A shares are shares in mainland China-based companies that trade on Chinese stock exchanges and are usually only available to foreign investors through a quota license or by purchasing Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchange-listed securities via brokers in Hong Kong through the Shanghai-Hong Kong

Stock Connect and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect programs (collectively, "Stock Connect”). Investing in China A shares may involve special risk considerations such as volatility in the China A share market and uncertainty regarding taxation.

The Fund’s ability to freely trade in China A shares as a foreign investor through the quota license or Stock Connect may be limited by quota and repatriation restrictions, and utilizing Stock Connect is subject to trading, clearance and settlement procedures in China that are relatively new and untested.

The Fund may also gain exposure to companies based or operated in China by investing through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs). Instead of directly owning the equity securities of a Chinese company, a VIE enters into service and other contracts with the Chinese company. Although the VIE has no equity ownership of the

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
June 30, 2024

Chinese company, the contractual arrangements permit the VIE to consolidate the Chinese company into its financial statements. The Chinese government could intervene with respect to VIEs, which could significantly affect the Chinese company's performance and the enforceability of the VIE's contractual arrangement with the Chinese company.

b. Equity Securities Risk:

The stock or other security of a company may not perform as well as expected, and may decrease in value, because of factors related to the company (such as poorer than expected earnings or certain management decisions) or to the industry in which the company is engaged (such as a reduction in the demand for products or services in a particular industry). Holders of common stock generally are subject to more risks than holders of preferred stock or debt securities because the right to repayment of common shareholders' claims is subordinated to that of preferred stock and debt securities upon the bankruptcy of the issuer.

c. Illiquid Securities Risk:

Illiquid securities are assets that the Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the asset. An inability to sell a portfolio position can adversely affect the Fund’s value or prevent the Fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities. Illiquid securities are relatively less liquid securities may also be difficult to value.

d. Issuer Risk:

The value of a security may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services. In an increasingly interconnected financial market, the adverse changes in the financial conditions of one issuer may negatively affect other issuers.

e. Leverage Risk:

The Fund may use leverage to purchase securities. Increases and decreases in the value of the Fund's portfolio will be magnified when the Fund uses leverage.

f. Management Risk:

The Fund is subject to the risk that the Adviser may make poor security selections. The Adviser, and its portfolio managers apply their own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund and there can be no guarantee that these decisions will achieve the desired results for the Fund. In addition, the Adviser may select securities that underperform the relevant market or other funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.

g. Market Events Risk:

Markets are affected by numerous factors, including interest rates, the outlook for corporate profits, the health of the national and world economies, the fluctuation of other stock markets around the world, and financial, economic and other global market developments and disruptions, such as those arising from war, terrorism, market manipulation, government interventions, defaults and shutdowns, political changes or diplomatic developments, public health emergencies and natural/environmental disasters. Such events can negatively impact the securities markets and cause the Fund to lose value.

Policy and legislative changes in countries around the world are affecting many aspects of financial regulation, and governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and regulators throughout the world have previously responded to serious economic disruptions with a variety of significant fiscal and monetary policy changes.

The impact of these changes on the markets, and the practical implications for market participants, may not be fully known for some time. In addition, economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries or sectors experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by such events.

h. Mid-Cap Securities Risk:

Securities of medium-sized companies tend to be more volatile and less liquid than securities of larger companies.

i. Non-U.S. Taxation Risk:

Income, proceeds and gains received by the Fund from sources within foreign countries may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by such countries, which will reduce the return on those investments. Tax treaties between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

If, at the close of its taxable year, more than 50% of the value of the Fund’s total assets consists of securities of foreign corporations, including for this purpose foreign governments, the Fund will be permitted to make an election under the Code that will allow shareholders a deduction or credit for foreign taxes paid by the Fund. In such a case, shareholders will include in gross income from foreign sources their pro rata shares of such taxes. A shareholder’s ability to claim an offsetting foreign tax credit or deduction in respect of such foreign taxes is subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code, which may result in the shareholder’s not receiving a full credit or deduction (if any) for the amount of such taxes. Shareholders who do not itemize on their U.S. federal income tax returns may claim a credit (but not a deduction) for such foreign taxes. If the Fund does not

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
June 30, 2024

qualify for or chooses not to make such an election, shareholders will not be entitled separately to claim a credit or deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to foreign taxes paid by the Fund; in that case the foreign tax will nonetheless reduce the Fund’s taxable income. Even if the Fund elects to pass through to its shareholders foreign tax credits or deductions, tax-exempt shareholders and those who invest in the Fund through tax-advantaged accounts such as IRAs will not benefit from any such tax credit or deduction.

j. Risks 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 Adviser are unsuccessful.

k. Risks Associated with Emerging Markets:

The emerging countries' securities markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. A high proportion of the securities of many companies in emerging countries may be held by a limited number of persons, which may limit the number of securities available for investment by the Fund. The limited liquidity of emerging country securities markets may also affect the Fund's ability to acquire or dispose of securities at the price and time it wishes to do so.

l. Risks Associated with Restricted Securities:

The Fund, subject to local investment limitations, may invest up to 30% of its assets (at the time of commitment) in illiquid equity securities, including securities of private equity funds (whether in

corporate or partnership form) that invest primarily in emerging markets. When investing through another investment fund, the Fund will bear its proportionate share of the expenses incurred by that underlying fund, including management fees. Such securities are expected to be illiquid and may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses. Because of the current absence of any liquid trading market for these investments, the private equity funds may take longer to liquidate than would be the case for publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized on such sales could be substantially less than those originally paid by the Fund or the current carrying values and these differences could be material. Further, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosures and other investor protection requirements applicable to companies whose securities are publicly traded.

m. 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. 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. As of June 30, 2024, the Fund holds 3 Russian securities that are all valued at zero.

n. Sector Risk:

To the extent that the Fund has a significant portion of its assets invested in securities of companies conducting business in a broadly related group of industries within an economic sector, the Fund may be more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in that economic sector than funds that invest more broadly.

Information Technology Sector Risk. To the extent that the information technology sector represents a significant portion of the Fund, the Fund will be sensitive to changes in, and its performance may depend to a greater extent on, factors impacting this sector. Information technology companies face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, which may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (concluded)
June 30, 2024

companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.

Financial Sector Risk. To the extent that the financial sector represents a significant portion of the Fund's investments, the Fund will be sensitive to changes in, and its performance may depend to a greater extent on, factors impacting this sector. Performance of companies in the financials sector may be adversely impacted by many factors, including, among others, government regulations, economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, changes in interest rates, and decreased liquidity in credit markets. The impact of more stringent capital requirements, recent or future regulation of any individual financial company, or recent or future regulation of the financials sector as a whole cannot be predicted. In recent years, cyber attacks and technology malfunctions and failures have become increasingly frequent in this sector and have caused significant losses.

o. Small-Cap Securities Risk:

Securities of smaller companies are usually less stable in price and less liquid than those of larger, more established companies. Therefore, they generally involve greater risk.

p. Valuation Risk:

The price that the Fund could receive upon the sale of any particular portfolio investment may differ from the Fund's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair valuation methodology or a price provided by an independent pricing service. As a result, the price received upon the sale of an investment may be less than the value ascribed by the Fund, and the Fund could realize a greater than expected loss or lower than expected gain upon the sale of the investment. The Fund's ability to value its investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third-party service providers.

10. 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.

11. Tax Information

The U.S. federal income tax basis of the Fund's investments (including derivatives, if applicable) and the net unrealized appreciation as of June 30, 2024, were as follows:

Tax Cost of Securities	Unrealized Appreciation	Unrealized Depreciation	Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)
$326,607,509	$89,717,509	$(67,468,026)	$22,249,483

12. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.

Based on this evaluation, no disclosures and/or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of June 30, 2024.

Board of Directors’ Consideration of Investment Advisory Agreement

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and the terms of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the abrdn Emerging Markets Equity Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) and abrdn Investments Limited (the “Adviser” or “aIL”) require that the Advisory Agreement be approved annually at an in-person meeting by the Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Board” or “Directors”), all of whom have no direct or indirect interest in the Advisory Agreement and are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”).

At a regularly scheduled quarterly meeting held on June 11, 2024 (the “Quarterly Meeting”), the Board voted unanimously to renew the Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser for an additional one-year period. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Fund’s Advisory Agreement, the Board members received and considered a variety of information provided by the Adviser relating to the Fund, the Advisory Agreement and the Adviser, including information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, comparative investment performance, fee and expense information of a peer group of funds (the “Peer Group”) selected by Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”), an independent third-party provider of investment company data and other performance information for relevant benchmark indices (collectively, the “15(c) Materials”). In addition, the Directors of the Fund held a separate telephonic meeting in advance of the Quarterly Meeting (the “Contract Review Meeting”) to review the materials provided and the relevant legal considerations and met in executive session outside the presence of Fund management at the Contract Review Meeting and Quarterly Meeting with their independent legal counsel to discuss the Advisory Agreement. The Independent Directors also, together with the independent board members of other registered investment companies advised by the Adviser and its affiliates (collectively, the “abrdn Funds complex”), met in advance of the Quarterly Meeting with the Chief Investment Officer (the “CIO”) of abrdn plc, the ultimate parent of the Adviser. During the meeting with the CIO, the Independent Directors received information on, and responses to their questions concerning, among other items, abrdn plc’s and the Adviser’s investment decision-making framework, monitoring of investment theses and responses to underperformance, key personnel and investment team consistency, and investment product developments at abrdn plc, including with respect to the abrdn Funds complex. In addition to the 15(c) Materials, the Board received and reviewed materials in advance of each regular quarterly meeting that contained information about the Fund and its investment performance and information relating to the services provided by the Adviser.

The 15(c) Materials provided to the Board generally included, among other items: (i) information on the investment performance of the Fund and the performance of funds in the Peer Group and the Fund’s performance benchmark, including, with respect to the Fund’s performance and accounting predecessor (the “Predecessor Fund”), information for the Predecessor Fund for periods prior to the reorganization of seven closed-end funds with and into the Fund (the “Reorganization”) and the renaming of the Fund that took effect on April 30, 2018; (ii) information regarding the Fund’s expenses and advisory fees, including information comparing the Fund’s expenses to the Peer Group and information about applicable fee “breakpoints” and expense limitations; (iii) information regarding the profitability of the Advisory Agreement to the Adviser; (iv) a report prepared by the Adviser in response to a request submitted by the Independent Directors’ independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Directors; and (v) a memorandum from the Independent Directors’ independent legal counsel on the responsibilities of the Board in considering the approval of the investment advisory arrangement under the 1940 Act and Maryland law.

The Board also considered other matters such as: (i) the Adviser’s investment personnel and operations, (ii) the Adviser’s financial condition and stability, (iii) the resources devoted by the Adviser to the Fund, (iv) the Fund’s investment objective and strategy and the Adviser’s record of compliance with the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions, (v) the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ compliance program, (vi) possible conflicts of interest, and (vii) the allocation of the Fund’s brokerage. Throughout the process, including at the meeting with the CIO, the Contract Review

Supplemental Information (Unaudited) (continued)

Meeting and the Quarterly Meeting, the Board members had and availed themselves of the opportunity to ask questions of and request additional information from the Adviser.

The Independent Directors were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process and also consulted in executive sessions with their counsel regarding consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement. In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor as determinative. Individual Directors may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another and given different weights to various factors. Matters considered by the Board in connection with its approval of the continuation of the Advisory Agreement include the factors listed below.

The costs of the services provided and profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund. The Board reviewed information compiled at the request of the Fund by ISS that compared the Fund’s effective annual management fee rate with the fees paid by its Peer Group. The Board reviewed with management the effective annual management fee rate paid by the Fund to the Adviser for investment management services. The Board considered the Fund’s advisory fee structure, including that management fees for the Fund were based on the Fund’s average weekly net assets rather than total managed assets. Management noted that due to the unique strategy and structure of the Fund, the Adviser and its affiliates (together, “abrdn”) did not have any Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)-registered closed-end funds that were directly comparable to the Fund. Although there were no other substantially similar abrdn-advised investment vehicles against which to compare the Fund’s advisory fees, the Adviser provided information for other abrdn-advised products with similar investment strategies, including separately managed accounts, to those of the Fund where available. In evaluating the Fund’s advisory fees, the Board took into account the regulatory regimes, demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of the Fund.

In addition to the foregoing, the Board considered the Fund’s fees and expenses as compared to its Peer Group, consisting of closed-end funds in the Fund’s Morningstar expense category as compiled by ISS. The Board also reviewed the profitability of the investment advisory relationship with the Fund to the Adviser, and received information on the profitability of the Fund’s other contractual relationships with the Adviser’s affiliates.

Investment performance of the Fund and the Adviser. The Board received and reviewed with the Fund’s management, among other performance data, information that compared the Fund’s return over various time periods to those of comparable investment companies and discussed this information and other related performance data with management. The Board also received and considered information on performance compiled by ISS as compared with the funds in the Fund’s Morningstar category (the “Morningstar Category”).

In addition, the Board received and reviewed information regarding the Fund’s total return on a net and gross basis and relative to the Fund’s benchmark and the Fund’s and Predecessor Fund’s share performance and premium/discount information. The Board also received and considered information about the Fund’s and Predecessor Fund’s total return against the respective Morningstar Category average and against other comparable abrdn-managed funds. The Directors considered management’s discussion of the factors contributing to differences in performance, including differences in the investment strategies, restrictions and risks of the other funds. Additionally, the Board considered information about the Fund’s discount/premium ranking relative to its Morningstar Category and the Adviser’s discussion of the Fund’s performance. The Directors noted that, while the Fund’s performance trailed the Morningstar Category average for the time periods presented, the Fund’s returns ranked it ahead of a majority of peers in the Morningstar Category. The Board also considered the Adviser’s performance and reputation generally and the willingness of the Adviser to take steps intended to improve performance. The Board also considered the responsiveness of the Adviser to Director and shareholder concerns about performance. The Board considered the Fund’s overall performance, including the Adviser’s explanation for the performance and the actions taken and to be taken by the Adviser, in determining to continue the Advisory Agreement.

The nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Directors considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund. They reviewed information about the resources dedicated to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. Among other things, the Board reviewed and discussed the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management personnel who serviced the Fund and the qualifications, background and responsibilities of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for providing day-to-day portfolio management services for the Fund. The Directors also considered the financial condition of the Adviser and the Adviser’s ability to provide quality service to the Fund. Management representatives reported to the Board and responded to questions on, among other things, the Adviser’s business plans and any current or proposed organizational changes. The Directors also took into account the Adviser’s experience as an asset manager and considered information regarding the Adviser’s compliance with applicable laws and SEC and other regulatory agency inquiries or audits of the Fund, the Adviser and/or the Adviser’s affiliates. The Board considered reports from the Adviser on its risk management processes. The Board noted that they received information on a regular basis from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding the Adviser’s compliance policies and procedures and information concerning the Adviser’s brokerage policies and practices. The Directors also noted that the Adviser had provided information and periodic reporting, including updates on its management of the Fund and the quality of its performance and had discussed these matter with the Directors at meetings held regularly throughout the preceding year.

The Independent Directors also took into account their recent meetings, together with the independent board members of other registered investment companies in the abrdn Funds complex, with the chair of abrdn plc and abrdn plc’s interim Chief Executive Officer. During those

Supplemental Information (Unaudited) (concluded)

meetings, the abrdn plc representatives responded to questions from the Independent Directors and affirmed abrdn’s long-term commitment to the investments business and the abrdn Funds complex in particular.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered management’s discussion of the Fund’s management fee structure and determined that the management fee structure was reasonable and reflected the sharing of economies of scale between the Fund and the Adviser as the Fund’s assets increased. The Board based its determination on various factors, including how the Fund’s management fees compared relative to the Peer Group at higher asset levels and that the breakpoints in the Fund’s Advisory Agreement would adjust the advisory fee rate downward to reflect anticipated economies of scale in the event of asset increases, as applicable. The Board also considered that the Adviser had agreed to extend its expense limitation agreement with the Fund, pursuant to which the Adviser agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses as a means of limiting the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for a period of time.

Other factors. The Board also considered other factors, which included: (i) the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative services and investor relations services performed by abrdn Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, under separate agreements covering administrative services and investor relations services; (ii) whether the Fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, the Fund’s record of compliance with its investment restrictions, and the compliance programs of the Adviser; (iii) the compliance-related resources the Adviser and its affiliates were providing to the Fund; (iv) the effect of any market and economic volatility on the performance, asset levels and expense ratios of the Fund; and (v) so-called “fallout benefits” to the Adviser or abrdn Inc., such as reputational and other indirect benefits. The Board considered any possible conflicts of interest associated with these fallout and other benefits, and the reporting, disclosure and other processes in place to disclose and monitor such possible conflicts of interest.

* * *

Based on their evaluation of all factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Directors concluded that renewal of the Advisory Agreements would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board approved the Fund’s Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year period.

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's 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

Dividend Reinvestment and Optional Cash Purchase Plan (Unaudited) (concluded)

be requested by phone at 1-800-647-0584 or using Investor Center through www.computershare.com/buyaberdeen. ($25 and $0.12 per share).

The receipt of dividends and distributions under the Plan will not relieve participants of any income tax that may be payable on such dividends or distributions. The Fund or the Plan Agent may terminate the Plan as applied to any voluntary cash 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. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent by phone at 1-800-647-0584, using Investor Center through www.computershare.com/buyaberdeen or in writing to Computershare Trust Company N.A., P.O. Box 43006, Providence, RI 02940-3078.

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. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund did not repurchase any shares through this Program.
