The Thai Fund

(the “Fund”) is pleased to announce that, at the Fund's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 24, 2013 (the “Stockholder Meeting”), its stockholders approved the election of Frank L. Bowman, James F. Higgins and Manuel H. Johnson as Class III Directors for a term expiring in 2016. The Fund is also pleased to announce that, at the Stockholder Meeting, its stockholders approved a proposal to liquidate and terminate the contractual investment plan (the “Investment Plan”) existing in Thailand through which the Fund currently holds all of its Thai assets (the “Restructuring”), as recommended by the Board of Directors. A stockholder proposal to terminate the Fund's Investment Management Agreement was withdrawn prior to the Stockholder Meeting. The officers of the Fund, under the supervision of the Board, will take the necessary steps to effect the Restructuring, including seeking any necessary approvals from the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission. It is currently anticipated that the Restructuring will be completed around or before the end of the third quarter of 2013.
