TORONTO, Oct. 19 /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 5.0 cents per ordinary share on November 13, 2009 to all ordinary shareholders of record as of October 30, 2009 (ex-distribution date October 28, 2009).

For the 12 months to September 30, 2009, the Company has paid total distributions amounting to CAD 60.0 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, supplemented by available realized capital gains and 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 2009.

Shareholders with registered addresses in Canada will receive distributions in Canadian dollars unless they have elected otherwise. Although a portion of the amount distributed is recorded as a return of capital for financial statement purposes, the full amount of the distribution will be foreign income for Canadian income tax purposes.

The Company is managed by Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Limited, advised by Aberdeen Asset Management Limited and sub-advised by Aberdeen Fund Management Limited.
