The China Fund, Inc. Announces Postponement of Annual Meeting of Stockholders

New York, New York, April 19, 2018 – The China Fund, Inc. (NYSE: CHN) (the “Fund”) announced today that the Fund’s annual stockholders meeting (the “Meeting”), originally scheduled to be held Tuesday, March 27, 2018 and subsequently postponed to Thursday, April 26, 2018 has been further postponed to Wednesday, May 23, 2018 at 12:00 noon. The Meeting will be held at the offices of Clifford Chance US LLP, 51 West 52nd Street, New York, New York 10019. Stockholders of record as of February 2, 2018 will be entitled to notice of, and to attend and vote at, the Meeting.

In connection with the postponement, Joe Rogers, Chairman of the Fund, stated “We would like to hold the Meeting as soon as practicable. We hope this postponement will allow sufficient time for a decision in the appeal of our case against City of London Investment Management to be rendered and implemented. If that does not occur by May 23, we may have to postpone the meeting again.”

The Fund also announced that its bylaws were amended effective today to confirm that, as permitted by Maryland law, the Fund can postpone stockholder meetings and can hold its annual stockholder meeting on such date as the Board may select.
