Past Roles

External Roles

Fixed Compensation

ASGI’s executive officers are employees of, and compensated by, the investment adviser or its affiliates; none received compensation from the Fund for FY2024. The Fund does not have any bonus, profit-sharing, pension, or retirement plans for executives .

Performance Compensation

ASGI does not disclose executive performance incentive structures for Fund-paid compensation because executives are not paid by the Fund; the Fund states it has no bonus or profit-sharing plans for executives .

Equity Ownership & Alignment

Notes:

• Goodson’s beneficial ownership is reported in dollar ranges; exact share counts are not disclosed .
• No disclosure of pledged or hedged shares in the proxy; independent trustees and their immediate families owned no shares of the adviser/sub-adviser or their control affiliates as of April 1, 2025 .

Employment Terms

• Employer of record: abrdn Inc. (Investment Adviser). ASGI does not disclose Goodson’s employment agreement terms (start date as CEO role in Fund disclosed as 2024; contract length, renewal, non-compete, severance, and change-of-control economics are not disclosed in the Fund’s proxy as they relate to adviser employment) .
• ASGI executive officers are not compensated by the Fund and thus Fund-level severance or CoC provisions tied to Fund compensation are not applicable/disclosed .

Board Governance

• Roles: Class III Trustee; Chief Executive Officer and President; Interested Trustee status due to abrdn affiliation .
• Committee membership: Audit Committee and Nominating & Corporate Governance Committees are comprised entirely of Independent Trustees; Goodson, as an Interested Trustee, is not listed as a member .
• Board leadership: Independent Chair (P. Gerald Malone); Independent Trustees hold executive sessions at least quarterly and retain separate independent counsel .
• Meetings and attendance: In FY2024 the Board held five regular and one special meeting; trustees serving during that year attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of Board and committee meetings .
• Dual-role implications: Goodson’s executive + trustee roles create a non-independent presence on the Board; mitigants include an Independent Chair, super-majority Independent Trustees, and fully independent committees .

Director Compensation

Notes:

• Other trustees receive cash retainers; specific retainer structures are not itemized in the displayed proxy sections, but aggregate totals are disclosed .

Performance & Track Record

• Background and qualifications: Proxy highlights Goodson’s financial and research analysis experience in addition to product governance leadership within abrdn .
• Fund-level performance metrics (TSR, revenue, EBITDA) tied to executive incentives are not disclosed in the proxy; ASGI executives are not Fund-paid .

Past Roles (Fund-Specific)

| Organization | Role | Years | Strategic Impact | |---|---|---| | ASGI | Chief Executive Officer and President | Since 2024 | Principal executive officer duties; leadership over Fund operations via adviser relationship | | ASGI | Class III Trustee | Term expires 2026; Trustee since 2024 | Board oversight with Interested Trustee status |

External Roles (Fund Complex)

Risk Indicators & Red Flags

• Section 16 compliance: The Fund reports that officers, trustees, and >10% holders timely filed required reports during the fiscal period ended Sep 30, 2024 .
• Independence and conflicts: Goodson is an Interested Trustee due to his adviser role; Board structure (Independent Chair, super-majority independent trustees, independent committees, quarterly executive sessions) is intended to mitigate conflicts .

Investment Implications

• Pay-for-performance alignment: At the Fund level, there are no executive compensation levers because ASGI does not pay executives; any incentive alignment for Goodson occurs within abrdn Inc., which is not disclosed in ASGI’s proxy—limiting insight into bonus metrics, vesting schedules, severance, and CoC terms .
• Ownership alignment: Goodson reports $50k–$100k in ASGI equity ownership, indicating some skin-in-the-game; however, aggregate trustee/officer holdings are <1% of outstanding, and exact share counts or pledging status are not disclosed—reducing precision of alignment analysis .
• Governance and independence: Dual executive–trustee role introduces potential independence concerns, but mitigants include Independent Chair, independent committees, and regular executive sessions; Goodson is not on key board committees, which are fully independent .
• Trading signals: No insider selling pressure indicators or late filings are noted; Section 16 compliance was timely. Without disclosed adviser-level compensation or vesting schedules, near-term trading signals tied to executive incentives cannot be inferred from ASGI’s proxy .
