Neutral other Written later 4.01

Aberdeen Chile Fund, Inc. dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm on June 15, 2017, and engaged KPMG LLP for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, with both steps approved by the Board on June 13, 2017 on the Audit Committee's recommendation. The filing states that PwC's reports for fiscal 2016 and 2015 contained no adverse opinion, disclaimer, or qualification, and that there were no disagreements or reportable events with PwC.
