The Board of Directors
The Taiwan Fund, Inc.
c/o State Street Bank & Trust Company
One Lincoln Street
P.O. Box 5049
Boston, MA 02110.
Dear Board Members:
Our clients own about 325,000 shares of The Taiwan Fund.
According to a press release issued on July 8, 2022, "The Board expects
to announce the replacement adviser selected by the Board by the end of
July 2022 and to seek stockholder approval of the new adviser at a
special meeting of stockholders to be held early in September 2022."
The Fund's shares currently trade at a discount of about 16%. We believe
that it connection with a change of advisers, the Board should consider
affording stockholders an opportunity to monetize a portion of their
shares at a price close to net asset value via a self-tender offer.
We would like to have a discussion with a representative of the Board as
to how to strike a balance between the desire of those shareholders that
would like to sell some of their shares at a price higher than the
market price and those that want the Fund to continue as a viable
long-term vehicle for investing in Taiwan. If the proper balance can be
achieved, it should be relatively easy and inexpensive to get
stockholder approval for a new advisory agreement. Please let us know
if such a discussion can be arranged. Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
/S/ Phillip Goldstein
Phillip Goldstein
Managing Partner
