Aberdeen Chile Fund, Inc. Announces Payment of Cash Election Dividend
January 28 2011 - 10:58AM
Business Wire
The Board of Directors of Aberdeen Chile Fund, Inc. (NYSE
AMEX: CH) (the “Fund”) is pleased to report the Fund’s
payment of a distribution of $1.6591 per share of common stock,
which was declared on December 7, 2010 and payable on January 28,
2011, to shareholders of record at the close of business on
December 16, 2010.
As previously announced, the distribution was payable in the
Fund's common stock. However, stockholders had the option to
request that their distributions be paid in cash in lieu of common
stock. The aggregate amount of cash distributions to all
stockholders was limited to 10% of the aggregate dollar amount of
the total distribution. Because cash distribution requests exceeded
this limit, the Fund pro rated the cash distribution among all
stockholders who made such requests. Stockholders who requested
cash distributions received $0.28396 per share or 17.11% of the
distribution in cash and received the balance in the Fund's common
stock. For purposes of computing the stock portion of the dividend,
the common stock distributed was valued at $20.61 per share, which
equaled the average closing price of the Fund’s common shares on
the NYSE AMEX on January 19, 2011 and the two preceding trading
days.
Under U.S. tax rules applicable to the Fund, the amount and
character of distributable income for each fiscal year can be
finally determined only as of the end of the Fund’s fiscal year.
However, under Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the “1940 Act”) and related Rules, the Fund may be
required to indicate to shareholders the source of certain
distributions to shareholders.
The following table sets forth the estimated amounts of the
sources of the distribution for purposes of Section 19 of the 1940
Act and the Rules adopted thereunder. The table includes estimated
amounts and percentages for this distribution and for the
cumulative distributions paid 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 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 2010
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.

total return, consisting of capital appreciation and income, by
investing primarily through investment in Chilean securities.
