First Trust/Aberdeen Global Opportunity Income Fund (the “Fund”)

Shareholders that was postponed until April 7, 2020 (the “Annual
Meeting”) will be held exclusively via AST Fund Solutions, LLC’s
(“AST”) web-based portal (a “Virtual” meeting).
Due to the public health and safety concerns related to the
coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, recommendations from the federal
government, and the shelter in place order from the Governor of the
State of Illinois, the Fund’s Annual Meeting will be held
exclusively as a Virtual meeting. As previously announced, the
Annual Meeting will be held on April 7, 2020 at 12:00 p.m. Central
Time. Online access to the Annual Meeting will begin at 11:30 a.m.
Central Time. Shareholders will not be able to attend the Annual
Meeting in person.

Record
Any shareholder of record as of the close of business on January
6, 2020 (i.e., you held your shares in your own name as reflected
in the Fund’s records), is entitled to participate in and vote at
the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. You
can attend the Annual Meeting by accessing

If you were a beneficial owner of record as of January 6, 2020
(i.e., you held your shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank
or other similar agent), you will need to provide proof of your
power (legal proxy) which you must obtain from your intermediary
reflecting your Fund holdings. You may forward an e-mail from your
intermediary or attach an image of your legal proxy and transmit it
via e-mail to AST at attendameeting@astfinancial.com and you should
label the e-mail “Legal Proxy” in the subject line. Requests for

Voting Shares
If you have already voted your shares in advance of the Annual

can vote your shares electronically at the Annual Meeting by
clicking on the “Cast Your Vote” link on the web-portal meeting
center site. If you are a record shareholder you will need the
unique control number from your proxy card included with the Proxy
