The Thai Capital Fund, Inc. Announces Shareholder Approval Of Liquidation And Dissolution Of The Fund

NEW YORK, July 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Thai Capital Fund, Inc. (NYSE MKT:TF) (the "Fund") today announced that, at a Special Meeting of Stockholders held today, shareholders approved the liquidation and dissolution of the Fund in accordance with a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution approved by the Fund's Board of Directors (the "Plan").

The Plan will become effective and the Fund will liquidate upon the termination and liquidation of the investment plan ("Investment Plan"), established in conformity with Thai law, through which the Fund invests in Thai securities. Following the termination and liquidation of the Investment Plan, the Fund will cease to invest its assets in accordance with its investment objective and will, as soon as reasonable and practicable, complete the sale of any remaining portfolio securities it holds and will dissolve.

Due to uncertainties regarding the length of time needed to complete the termination and liquidation of the Investment Plan, the Fund is not currently in a position to estimate when the liquidation and dissolution of the Fund will be completed.  The Fund will make a further announcement once it has determined the likely timeframe for termination and liquidation of the Investment Plan.  At the same time, the Fund will announce when it expects trading of the Fund's shares on the NYSE MKT to be suspended in connection with the liquidation of the Fund.
