Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws

 

The Board of Directors of Aberdeen Singapore Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) has voted to amend Article 1 Section 6 of the Fund’s Amended and Restated By-laws (the “By-laws”) effective March 31, 2017.  Article 1 Section 6, as amended, provides the chairman of a  meeting of stockholders the authority to adjourn a meeting for which there is no quorum, which is an authority previously held only by the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting who are present in person or represented by proxy.

 

As revised Section 6. Quorum, Adjournment of Meetings. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of a majority of the shares of the common stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation.  If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, (a) the chairman of the meeting or (b) the holders of a majority of the stock present in person or by proxy shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting until the requisite amount of stock entitled to vote at such meeting shall be present.  At such adjourned meeting at which the requisite amount of stock entitled to vote thereat shall be represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.
