TORONTO, Oct. 12, 2016 /CNW/ -- Aberdeen Asia-Pacific Income Investment Company Limited (TSX: FAP) (the "Company"), a closed-end investment
company trading on The Toronto Stock Exchange, announced today that it will pay a monthly distribution of CAD 3.25 cents per ordinary share on October 28, 2016 to all ordinary shareholders
of record as of October 21, 2016.
For the 12 months to September 30, 2016, the Company has paid total distributions amounting to
CAD 45.75 cents per ordinary share.
The policy of the Company's Board of Directors is to maintain a stable monthly distribution out of net investment income and
realized capital gains supplemented with paid-in capital as required. This policy is subject to regular review at the Board's
quarterly meetings. The next review is scheduled to take place in December 2016.
Shareholders with registered addresses in Canada will receive distributions in Canadian dollars
unless they have elected otherwise. Although a portion of any distribution may be recorded as a return of capital for
financial statement purposes, the full amount of the distribution (other than a return of capital out of par value, if any) will be
foreign income for Canadian income tax purposes. The Company's portfolio is managed by Aberdeen Asset Management Asia
Limited, and it is further advised by Aberdeen Asset Management Limited and sub-advised by Aberdeen Asset Managers Limited.
The Company's Administrator is Aberdeen Asset Management Inc.
