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

The below table represents a comparison between the current fiscal year end and the prior fiscal year end of the Fund's market price to NAV and associated Premium(+) and Discount(-).

	NAV	Closing Market Price	Premium(+)/ Discount(-)
10/31/2025	$3.79	$3.88	2.37%
10/31/2024	$4.20	$4.30	2.38%

Aberdeen Name Change

On March 4, 2025, abrdn plc, the parent company of the Fund's adviser and sub-adviser, announced that it would change its name, and from that date, will use 'Aberdeen' as the principal trading identity for its Investments business. On March 12, 2025, abrdn plc completed the steps to legally change its name to Aberdeen Group plc. Aberdeen has retained 'abrdn' as an operational abbreviation across its subsidiary legal entities (including the Fund's adviser and sub-adviser, fund names and descriptors).

Distribution Policy

Distributions to common shareholders for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 totaled $0.48 per share. Based on the market price of $3.88 on October 31, 2025, the distribution rate over the twelve month period ended October 31, 2025 was 12.37%. Based on the NAV of $3.79 on October 31, 2025, the distribution rate for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 was 12.66%. Since all distributions are paid after deducting applicable withholding taxes, the effective distribution rate may be higher for those U.S. investors who are able to claim a tax credit.

On November 11, 2025 and December 9, 2025, the Fund announced that it will pay on November 28, 2025 and January 12, 2026, respectively, a distribution of $0.04 per share to all shareholders of record as of November 21, 2025 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

The Fund’s policy is to provide investors with a stable monthly distribution out of current income, supplemented by realized capital gains and, to the extent necessary, paid-in capital, which is a nontaxable return of capital. This policy is subject to an annual review as well as regular review at the Board of Trustees of the Fund’s (the “Board”) quarterly meetings, unless market conditions require an earlier evaluation.

The FTSE EPRA Nareit Global Real Estate Index (Net Total Return) is a total return index that is designed to represent general trends in eligible real estate equities worldwide. The Index is calculated net of withholding taxes to which the Fund is generally subject. Indexes are unmanaged and have been provided for comparison purposes only. No fees or expenses are reflected. You cannot invest directly in an index.

Loan Facility and Use of Leverage

The Fund is permitted to borrow for investment purposes as may be permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") or any rule, order or interpretation thereunder. This allows the Fund to borrow for investment purposes in the amount up to 33 1/3% of the Fund’s total assets. The Fund has entered into a lending agreement with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage International Ltd. (“BNPP PB”) which allows the Fund to borrow on an uncommitted and secured basis up to $175 million. The Fund’s outstanding balance as of October 31, 2025 was $30,802,087. See Notes to Financial Statements for further information.

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 has approved an open market repurchase and discount management policy (the “Program”). The Program allows the Fund to purchase, in the open market, up to 10% of 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 fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, 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.

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.

Market review

The global listed real estate sector posted gains over the 12-month review period ended October 31, 2025.

The period was marked by significant volatility¹ due to U.S. tariff headlines, fiscal policy² shifts in Europe, and trade tensions with Asia, raising greater uncertainty about the pace of global economic growth. Investors started the review period hoping that the new U.S. administration would spur growth through deregulation³ and tax cuts. However, markets were later whipsawed by the announcement of broad tariffs across most goods coming into the U.S. These actions, along with fears of reciprocal tariffs from other countries and numerous headlines about negotiations, made it difficult for companies to make decisions about both short-term inventory sourcing and needs, and long-term capital-allocation around locating manufacturing and other business decisions. Meanwhile, continued macroeconomic uncertainty, including persistent inflationary pressures and mixed signals from central banks regarding the interest rate path, caused some of the divergence in regional performances for the asset class.

European stock market performance was largely driven by a revitalized macroeconomic environment, resilient consumer demand, and easing inflation, alongside sustained support from the European Central Bank through liquidity measures⁴ and fiscal stimulus⁵ (notably from Germany). That said, geopolitical dynamics, trade tensions with the U.S., and uncertainty surrounding the Russia-Ukraine conflict added to volatility. In the U.K., the Bank of England’s cautious pivot from peak interest rates to cutting policy rates in November 2024, while warning of persistent inflation into 2026, led to changing investor sentiment that supported equities tied to lower funding costs. Meanwhile, continued post-Brexit hesitancy, fund outflows, and the pound sterling’s weakness tempered market gains.

After several years of significant underperformance, Asia Pacific markets benefited from equity inflows during the reporting period. A

coordinated rate-cutting cycle that began in the third quarter of 2024 across the region, and Chinese stimulus⁶ and stabilization efforts in the property market buoyed sentiment in the region. Real estate fundamentals in Hong Kong fared better, with the residential-for-sale sector having reached a low level for now, helped by the expectation of rate cuts in the U.S. and several months of extremely low borrowing costs.

Sector wise, healthcare real estate investment trusts (REITs)⁷, and Japanese and Singaporean developers were the standout performers globally during the period. The healthcare sector benefitted from strong underlying fundamentals due to aging demographics, which drove double-digit net operating income (NOI)⁸ growth. Meanwhile, the Japanese and Singaporean developers, which had materially underperformed in prior years, rose due to attractive relative prices and fluctuations in interest rate policies that provided hope for greater economic growth in these regions. Conversely, U.S. cold storage, U.S. self-storage, and U.S. residential REITs were among the worst-performing sectors. Supply pressures, lackluster demand growth and a series of downward earnings revisions led to the underperformance in the cold storage sector. Supply pressures and declining new move-in rents led to a softening NOI outlook in the self-storage sector. Residential REITs, particularly in the multi-family segment, underperformed due to a weaker peak leasing season and concerns about a cooling job market, particularly in key Sunbelt markets⁹.

Fund performance review

The abrdn Global Premier Properties Fund (the “Fund”) returned 2.10% on a net asset value¹⁰ basis for the 12-month period ending October 31, 2025. This compared to a return of 3.62% for its

benchmark, the FTSE EPRA Nareit Global Index (Net Total Return).¹¹ The Fund's unlevered NAV return was 2.49% for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, demonstrating that the decision to leverage had a slightly negative impact on the Fund, detracting 0.39% to performance over that timeframe.

The Fund’s overweight¹² allocation to the residential sector mainly drove its underperformance relative to the benchmark as U.S. residential REITs lagged the market due to a weaker than expected peak leasing season and concerns around the health of the labor market. Conversely, the Fund’s overweight allocation to the healthcare sector was favorable as the sector material outperformed thanks to stronger than expected earnings growth from the senior housing focused REITs.

At the stock level, Iron Mountain’s shares lagged after the news that Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company DeepSeek developed a working AI model at a fraction of the cost spent by U.S. competitors, and with inferior chips, we subsequently exited the name. Australian logistics landlord Goodman Group also detracted from performance as concerns around global trade and questions around the pace of its data center investments weighed on its shares, despite an attractive relative valuation we believe these issues could continue to weigh on the stock and therefore reduced the size of our position during the review period. Invitation Homes underperformed due to soft rental growth and cautious investor sentiment around single-family housing. Meanwhile, SL Green Realty detracted from performance as the potential election of Zohran Mamdani as the new mayor of New York City (NYC) and his proposed policies raised fears about the pace of business activity and, therefore, the demand for NYC office space. While we are closely monitoring the potential policy changes in New York we continue to believe the stock is attractively valued. 

On the other hand, healthcare REITs American Healthcare REIT and Welltower were among the top contributors. These REITs benefited from continued strong demand for senior housing, which supported earnings growth during the period, and the companies have indicated in their published guidance that demand trends remain supportive. Also, in healthcare, our lack of exposure to Alexandria Real Estate Equities added to returns as this stock continued to struggle due to weak life science demand and excess supply. Elsewhere, the Fund's position in CTP, a European logistics developer focused on Central Europe, also outperformed, driven by hopes of increased demand for

logistics after the German budget announcement and nearshoring opportunities amid the trade uncertainty.

In terms of activity over the review period, the Fund exited its positions in Iron Mountain, Mid-America Apartments, and Healthpeak due to lower conviction around underlying business fundamentals. The proceeds from these sales in the U.S. were reinvested into senior housing REITs, American Healthcare REIT, Ventas, and Welltower as they remained some of our highest conviction positions. Additionally, the Fund initiated a position in EPR Properties, a triple-net lease¹³ REIT focused on lifestyle and entertainment tenants. Conversely, the Fund exited UK warehouse company SEGRO due to concerns around the health of the UK economy. The Fund also disposed of Unite Group due to concerns about the pace of leasing ahead of the current school year. Lastly, in Asia Pacific, the Fund participated in the initial public offering of NTT DC REIT, a Singaporean company focused on data-center development.

The monthly distribution reflects the Fund’s current policy to provide shareholders with a relatively stable cash flow per share. This policy did not have a material effect on the Fund’s investment strategy over the reporting period. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the distributions were comprised of ordinary income and a return of capital.

Outlook

We believe that the real estate sector is currently well positioned for relative performance. The defensive¹⁴ nature of real estate, with contractual leases, should allow earnings to remain stable relative to the broader market, especially if prolonged economic uncertainty arises. Additionally, unlike during previous economic downturns, supply is currently under control, which may help to mitigate downward pressure on market rents. However, the sector is not entirely immune to economic weakness, and some sectors with long-term secular tailwinds¹⁵ tend to prove more resilient than those that are sensitive to short-term economic activity.

As a result, we are focused on sectors and companies where we see opportunities to increase rents in the near term, with strong structural tailwinds supporting longer-term growth. We have also increased the Fund’s allocation to less economically sensitive sectors, which we believe could offer greater stability in a weaker environment.

Risk Considerations

Past performance is not an indication of future results.

Foreign securities may be more volatile, harder to price and less liquid than U.S. securities. They are subject to risks associated with less stringent accounting and regulatory standards, the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuation, political and economic instability, reduced information about issuers, higher transaction costs and delayed settlement. Equity stocks of small- and mid-cap companies carry greater risk, and more volatility, than equity stocks of larger, more established companies. Dividends are not guaranteed and a company’s future ability to pay dividends may be limited. The use of leverage will also increase market exposure and magnify risk. Because

the Fund concentrates its investments in the real estate industry, the portfolio may experience more volatility and be exposed to greater risk than the portfolios of many other mutual funds. Risks associated with investment in securities of companies in the real estate industry may include: declines in the value of real estate; overbuilding and increased competition; increases in property taxes and operating expenses; changes in zoning laws; casualty or condemnation losses; variations in rental income; neighborhood values; changes in interest rates; and changes in economic conditions.

1.  Organization

abrdn Global Premier Properties Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on February 13, 2007, and commenced operations on April 26, 2007. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek high current income and capital appreciation. The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) authorized an unlimited number of shares with no par value.

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 in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). 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 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, also referred to as market value. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the Board designated 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.

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.

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.

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

16	abrdn Global Premier Properties Fund

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; in such case, the security is determined to be a Level 1 investment.

Derivative instruments are valued at fair value. Exchange-traded futures are generally Level 1 investments and centrally cleared swaps and forwards are generally Level 2 investments. Forward foreign currency contracts are generally valued based on the bid price of the forward rates and the current spot rate. Forward exchange rate quotations are available for scheduled settlement dates, such as 1-, 3-, 6-, 9- and 12-month periods. An interpolated valuation is derived based on the actual settlement dates of the forward contracts held. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price or at the last bid price if no settlement price is available. Swap agreements are generally valued by an approved pricing agent based on the terms of the swap agreement (including future cash flows). When market quotations or exchange rates are not readily available, or if the Adviser concludes that such market quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Fund’s assets are determined in good faith in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

Short-term investments are comprised of cash and cash equivalents invested in short-term investment funds which are redeemable

daily. 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 Valuation Designee 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).

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 October 31, 2025 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. Please refer to the Portfolio of Investments for a detailed breakout of the security types:

Investments, at Value	Level 1 – Quoted Prices	Level 2 – Other Significant Observable Inputs	Level 3 – Significant Unobservable Inputs	Total
Assets
Investments in Securities
Common Stocks	$253,376,713	$117,253,272	$–	$370,629,985
Total Investment Assets	$253,376,713	$117,253,272	$–	$370,629,985

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

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, there were no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies.

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) fair 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.

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.  Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses:

Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains/(losses) from security and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and corporate actions are recorded generally on the ex-date, except for certain dividends and

corporate actions which may be recorded after the ex-date, as soon as the Fund acquires information regarding such dividends or corporate actions. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital included in distributions received from the Fund's investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Fund after the end of the fiscal year; accordingly, the Fund estimates these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available.

e.  Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Fund is authorized to use derivatives to manage currency risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk and to replicate, or use as a substitute for, physical securities. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of derivative instruments involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts:

A forward foreign currency exchange contract ("forward contract") involves an obligation to purchase and sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. Forward contracts are used to manage the Fund's currency exposure in an efficient manner. They are used to sell unwanted currency exposure that comes with holding securities in a market, or to buy currency exposure where the exposure from holding securities is insufficient to give the desired currency exposure either in absolute terms or relative to a particular benchmark or index. The use of forward contracts allows for the separation of investment decision-making between foreign exchange holdings and their currencies.

The forward contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Forward contracts' prices are received daily from an independent pricing provider. When the forward contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. These realized and unrealized gains and losses are reported on the Statement of Operations. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or from unanticipated movements in exchange rates.

While the Fund may enter into forward contracts to seek to reduce currency exchange rate risks, transactions in such contracts involve certain risks. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in exchange rates. Thus, while the

18	abrdn Global Premier Properties Fund

Fund may benefit from such transactions, unanticipated changes in currency prices may result in a poorer overall performance for the Fund than if it had not engaged in any such transactions. Moreover, there may be an imperfect correlation between the Fund’s portfolio holdings or securities quoted or denominated in a particular currency and forward contracts entered into by the Fund. Such imperfect correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving a complete hedge, which will expose the Fund to the risk of foreign exchange loss.

Forward contracts are subject to the risk that the counterparties to such contracts may default on their obligations. Since a forward foreign currency exchange contract is not guaranteed by an exchange or clearing house, a default on the contract would deprive the Fund of unrealized profits, transaction costs or the benefits of a currency hedge or force the Fund to cover its purchase or sale commitments, if any, at the market price at the time of the default.

f.  Distributions:

The Fund implemented a managed distribution policy to pay a stable monthly distribution out of current income, supplemented by realized short-term capital gains and long-term capital gains, and, to the extent necessary, paid-in capital, which is a nontaxable return of capital. The managed distribution policy is subject to regular review by the Board. The Fund expects to pay its common shareholders annually all or substantially all of its investment company taxable income. In addition, at least annually, the Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net capital gains, if any.

Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains which are ordinary income for tax purposes. Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book-tax” differences are considered either 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 income tax treatment. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes they are reported to shareholders as return of capital.

g.  Federal Income Taxes:

The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” ("RIC") 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 all open tax years 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 withholding 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. The amount of capital gains tax, if any, is reported on the Statement of Operations. Based on these market requirements and as required under U.S. GAAP, the Fund accrues deferred capital gains tax, if any, on securities currently held that have unrealized appreciation within these countries. The amount of deferred capital gains tax accrued and the change in deferred capital gains tax, if any, is reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations, respectively.

3.  Agreements and Transactions with Affiliates

a.  Investment Adviser and Investment Sub-Adviser:

The Adviser and abrdn Inc. (“abrdn Inc.” or the “Sub-Adviser”) serve as the Fund’s investment adviser and subadviser, respectively, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) and sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with the Fund. The Adviser and abrdn Inc. (collectively, the “Advisers”) are wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of Aberdeen Group plc. In rendering advisory services, the Advisers may use the resources of investment advisor subsidiaries of Aberdeen Group plc. These affiliates have entered into procedures pursuant to which investment professionals from affiliates may render portfolio management and research services as associated persons of the Advisers.

abrdn Global Premier Properties Fund

19

As compensation for its services to the Fund, the Adviser receives an annual investment advisory fee of 1.00% based on the Fund’s average daily Managed Assets, computed daily and payable monthly. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund paid the Adviser $3,914,170. "Managed Assets" means total assets of the Fund, including any form of investment leverage, minus all accrued expenses incurred in the normal course of operations, but not excluding any liabilities or obligations attributable to investment leverage obtained through (i) indebtedness of any type (including, without limitation, borrowing through a credit facility or the issuance of debt securities), (ii) the issuance of preferred stock or other similar preference securities, (iii) the reinvestment of collateral received for securities loaned in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies, and/or (iv) any other means. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is responsible for the payment of fees to abrdn Inc.

Effective May 4, 2018, the Adviser entered into a written contract (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) with the Fund that is effective through June 30, 2026. The Expense Limitation Agreement limits the total ordinary operating expenses of the Fund (excluding any leverage costs, taxes, interest, brokerage commissions and any non-routine expenses) from exceeding 1.40% of the average daily net assets of the Fund on an annualized basis. The total amount of the waiver for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement was $153,999.

The Adviser may request and receive reimbursement from the Fund 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, and the payment of such reimbursement is approved by the Board on a quarterly basis (the "Reimbursement Requirements"). Except as provided for in the Expense Limitation Agreement, reimbursement of amounts previously waived or assumed by the Adviser is not permitted.

As of October 31, 2025, to the extent the Reimbursement Requirements are met, the cumulative potential reimbursements to the Adviser from the Fund, based on expenses reimbursed by the Adviser, including adjustments described above, would be:

Amount Fiscal Year 2023(Expires 10/31/26)		$967,158
Amount Fiscal Year 2024 (Expires 10/31/27)		$921,400
Amount Fiscal Year 2025 (Expires 10/31/28)		$153,999
Total*		$2,042,557

    

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

b.  Fund Administrator:

abrdn Inc. serves as the Fund’s Administrator. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, 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.  State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the Fund's Sub-Administrator. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, abrdn Inc. earned $270,276 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 fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund incurred investor relations fees of $105,386. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, 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 fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, were $254,593,061 and $319,608,558, respectively.

20	abrdn Global Premier Properties Fund

6.  Open Market Repurchase Program

The Board has approved an open market repurchase and discount management policy (the “Program”). The Program allows the Fund to purchase, in the open market, up to 10% of 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 fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, 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.

7.  Line of Credit

The Fund has entered into a lending agreement with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage International Ltd. (“BNPP PB”) which allows the Fund to borrow on an uncommitted and secured basis up to $175 million. The interest on the BNPP PB for the Fund on amounts borrowed is charged at a variable rate, which may be based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a spread. The BNPP PB facility provides a secured, uncommitted line of credit for the Fund where selected Fund assets are pledged against advances made to the Fund. The Fund has granted a security interest in all pledged assets used as collateral to BNPP PB. The maximum amount of the line of credit available is the lesser of 33.33% of its total assets of the Fund or the amount disclosed above, including the amount borrowed. Either BNPP PB or the Fund may terminate this agreement upon delivery of written notice. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the average borrowing by the Fund was $53,359,522 with an average interest rate on borrowings of 5.40%. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the maximum borrowing by the Fund was $85,011,467. Interest expense related to the line of credit for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 was $2,938,572. As of October 31, 2025, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $30,802,087.

8.  Portfolio Investment Risks

a.  Concentration Risk:

The Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets in the equity securities of issuers engaged in the real estate industry, including real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). As a result, the Fund may be more affected by economic developments in the real estate industry than would a general equity fund. At times, the performance of real estate companies will lag behind the performance of companies in other industries or the broader market as a whole.

b.  Emerging Markets Risk:

The Fund is subject to emerging market risk. This is a magnification of the risks that apply to foreign investments. These risks are greater for securities of companies in emerging market countries because the countries may have less stable governments, more volatile currencies and less established markets (see “Foreign Securities Risk” below). Additional risks associated with investing in emerging markets include, among other things, smaller market capitalizations, less government regulation, less extensive and less frequent accounting, financial and other reporting requirements, loss resulting from problems in share registration and custody, and in the nationalization of foreign deposits or assets.

c.  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

abrdn Global Premier Properties Fund

21

management decisions), to the industry in which the company is engaged (such as a reduction in the demand for products or services in a particular industry) or to the market as a whole (such as periods of market volatility or instability, or general and prolonged periods of economic decline). 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.

d.  Foreign Currency Exposure Risk:

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 Advisers are unsuccessful.

e.  Foreign Securities Risk:

Foreign countries in which the Fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the Fund's investments may decline because of factors such as unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support and political or financial instability. To the extent the Fund focuses its investments in a single country or only a few countries in a particular geographic region, economic, political, regulatory or other conditions affecting such country or region may have a greater impact on Fund performance relative to a more geographically diversified fund.

f.  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.

g.  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. Certain investments or trading strategies that involve leverage can result in losses that greatly exceed the amount originally invested.

h.  Management Risk:

The Fund is subject to the risk that the Advisers may make poor security selections. The Advisers and their 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 Advisers may select securities that underperform the relevant market or other funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.

i.  Market Events Risk:

The market values of securities or other assets will fluctuate, sometimes sharply and unpredictably, due to changes in general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, governmental actions or intervention, actions taken by the Fed or foreign central banks, market disruptions caused by trade disputes or other factors, political developments, investor sentiment and other factors that may or may not be related to the issuer of the security or other asset. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, war, terrorism, natural disasters, public health issues such as pandemics or epidemics, and other circumstances in one country or region could have profound impacts on global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments may be negatively affected. In addition, any spread of an infectious illness, public health threat or similar issue could reduce consumer demand or economic output, result in market closures, travel restrictions or quarantines, and generally have a significant impact on the world economy, which in turn could adversely affect the Fund's investments.

j.  Mid-Cap Securities Risk:

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

k.  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

22	abrdn Global Premier Properties Fund

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 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.

l.  Passive Foreign Investment Company Tax Risk:

Equity investments by the Fund in certain “passive foreign investment companies” (“PFICs”) could subject the Fund to a U.S. federal income tax (including interest charges) on distributions received from the PFIC or on proceeds received from the disposition of shares in the PFIC. The Fund may be able to elect to treat a PFIC as a “qualified electing fund” (i.e., make a “QEF election”), in which case the Fund will be required to include its share of the company’s income and net capital gains annually. The Fund may make an election to mark the gains (and to a limited extent losses) in such holdings “to the market” as though it had sold and repurchased its holdings in those PFICs on the last day of the Fund’s taxable year. Such gains and losses are treated as ordinary income and loss. Because it is not always possible to identify a foreign corporation as a PFIC, the Fund may incur the tax and interest charges  described above in some instances.

m.  Qualified Dividend Income Tax Risk:

Favorable U.S. federal tax treatment of Fund distributions may be adversely affected, changed or repealed by future changes in tax laws.

n.  REIT and Real Estate Risk:

Investment in REITs and real estate involves the risks that are associated with direct ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general. These risks include: declines in the value of real estate; risks related to local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition; increases in property taxes and operating expenses; changes in zoning laws; casualty or condemnation losses; variations in rental income, neighborhood values or the appeal of properties to tenants; changes in interest rates and changes in general economic and market conditions; reduced demand for commercial and office space; increased maintenance or tenant improvement costs

to convert properties for other uses; default risk of tenants and borrowers; the financial condition of tenants, buyers and sellers; and the inability to re-lease space on attractive terms or to obtain mortgage financing on a timely basis or at all. REITs’ share prices may decline because of adverse developments affecting the real estate industry including changes in interest rates. The returns from REITs may trail returns from the overall market. Additionally, there is always a risk that a given REIT will fail to qualify for favorable tax treatment. REITs may be leveraged, which increases risk. Certain REITs, like mutual funds, have expenses, including management and administration fees, that are paid by their shareholders. As a result, shareholders will directly bear the expenses of their investment in the Fund and indirectly bear the expenses of the Fund’s investments when the Fund invests in REITs.

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.

9.  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.

In this reporting period, the Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). Adoption of the new standard impacted disclosures only and did not affect the Fund's financial position nor the results of its operations. Operating segments are components of a public entity that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, have discrete financial information available, and have their operating results regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) when assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment resources. The Chief Financial Officer of the Fund acts as the Fund's CODM. The CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole, and the Fund's asset allocation is managed in accordance with its Prospectus. The Fund operates as a single operating and reporting segment pursuant to its investment objective and principal investment strategy. The Fund's portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets used by the CODM to assess segment performance and make resource allocations are consistent with the information presented within the Fund's financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Total Assets” and significant segment expenses are listed on the Statement of Operations.

12.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosure requirements in order to increase disclosure consistency, bifurcate income tax information by jurisdiction and remove information that is no longer beneficial. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. Fund Management is evaluating the impacts of these changes on the Fund's financial statements.

13.  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 October 31, 2025, other than as noted below.

On November 11, 2025 and December 9, 2025, the Fund announced that it will pay on November 28, 2025 and January 12, 2026, respectively, a distribution of $0.04 per share to all shareholders of record as of November 21, 2025 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

volatility and declines in asset values and liquidity. These difficulties may continue, worsen or spread within and outside Europe. Responses to the financial problems by European governments, central banks and others, including austerity measures and reforms, may not work, may result in social unrest and may limit future growth and economic recovery or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and others of their debt could have additional adverse effects on economies, financial markets and asset valuations around the world.

ESG Integration Risk

To the extent that ESG factors are used to evaluate investments, the consideration of such factors may adversely affect the Fund’s performance. Not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated for every investment. ESG characteristics may not be the only factors considered and, as a result, the issuers in which the Fund invests may not be issuers with favorable ESG characteristics or high ESG ratings. The application of ESG factors may result in the Fund performing differently than its benchmark index and other funds in its peer group that do not consider ESG factors or consider different ESG factors.

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 Trustees 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, 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 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

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.

Senior Securities

The following table sets forth information about the Fund’s outstanding senior securities as of the end of each of the Fund’s last ten fiscal years. The Fund’s senior securities during this time period are comprised of borrowings which constitutes a “senior security” as defined in the 1940 Act. Audited information regarding the Fund's senior securities is incorporated by reference from the Fund's Financial Highlights included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Description of Common Shares

The Fund’s Common Shares are publicly held and are listed and traded on the NYSE (trading symbol "AWP"). The following table sets forth for the fiscal quarters indicated the highest and lowest daily prices during the applicable quarter at the close of market on the NYSE per Common Share along with (i) the highest and lowest closing NAV and (ii) the highest and lowest premium or discount from NAV represented by such prices at the close of the market on the NYSE.

The Common Shares have traded both at a premium and at a discount to the Fund’s NAV per Common Share. Shares of closed-end management investment companies may trade at a market price that is less than the NAV that is attributable to those shares. The Fund’s NAV will be reduced immediately following an offering of Common Shares due to the costs of such offering, which will be borne entirely by the Fund. The sale of Common Shares by the Fund (or the perception that such sales may occur) may have an adverse effect on prices of Common Shares in the secondary market. An increase in the number of Common Shares available may result in downward pressure on the market price for Common Shares. The possibility that the Fund’s Common Shares will trade at a discount to NAV or at a premium that is unsustainable over the long term is separate and distinct from the risk that the Fund’s NAV will decrease. It is not possible to predict whether the Fund’s Common Shares will trade at, above or below NAV in the future. On December 22, 2025, the Fund’s NAV was $3.80, and the last reported sale price of a Common Share on the NYSE was $3.89, representing a premium to NAV of 2.37%.
