President's Letter

Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to present this annual report for the Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds for the 12 months ended October 31, 2013. The report includes portfolio commentaries, listings of the Funds' investments and their audited financial statements for the reporting period.

Each Fund's investment objective is to provide a high level of current income exempt from regular federal income tax and, for each state-specific Fund, a high level of current income exempt from that state's personal income taxes (and, in the case of the New York Fund, New York City personal income tax).

We maintain a conservative investment philosophy and disciplined investment process in an effort to provide you with superior tax-exempt current income over the long term with less volatility and risk.

Thank you for your confidence in the Funds. We will continue to do our best to earn your trust in the years to come.

Sincerely,

ROBERT CONTI
PRESIDENT AND CEO
NEUBERGER BERMAN CALIFORNIA INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL FUND INC.
NEUBERGER BERMAN INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL FUND INC.
NEUBERGER BERMAN NEW YORK INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL FUND INC.

Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds Portfolio Commentaries (Unaudited)

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2013, on a net asset value (NAV) basis, all three of the Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds posted negative returns and underperformed their benchmark, the Barclays 10-Year Municipal Bond Index. The California Intermediate Municipal Fund, Intermediate Municipal Fund and New York Intermediate Municipal Fund posted -3.65%, -3.59% and -3.50% total returns, respectively, whereas the benchmark generated a -0.81% return. The use of leverage (typically a performance enhancer in up markets and a detractor during market retreats) detracted from performance given the weakness in the municipal market during the reporting period.

The municipal market was volatile at times during the 12-month period. This was triggered by a number of factors, including uncertainties surrounding the tax-favored status of municipal bonds amid the fiscal cliff negotiations, expectations for shifting Federal Reserve (the Fed) monetary policy and rising Treasury yields. Investor sentiment was also challenged given concerns regarding the potential fallout from Detroit's bankruptcy. However, the municipal market rallied sharply following the Fed's decision to not begin tapering its asset purchases, which was announced after its September 18, 2013 meeting. All told, the overall municipal market posted a negative return for the reporting period.

Based on the steepness of the municipal yield curve and our desire to increase income, we maintained long durations for the Funds during the period. Overall, having durations that were longer than the index detracted from performance as rates moved higher. In terms of the Funds' yield curve positioning, we maintained a barbell approach (investing in shorter and longer maturities). In contrast, the Funds' benchmark is concentrated in the eight- to 12-year portion of the curve. Given the outperformance of the intermediate portion of the curve, the Funds' barbell approach detracted from relative results.

The Funds maintained a lower quality bias than that of the benchmark as we sought to generate incremental yield. This was a negative for results given the underperformance of lower-quality bonds during the reporting period. In addition, having on overweight to Puerto Rico was not rewarded as it generated weak results.

From a security selection perspective, we opportunistically purchased a number of municipal bonds we believed to be attractively valued for the Funds during the summer sell-off. This was additive for results as the municipal market rallied in September and October of 2013.

We have a fairly positive outlook for the municipal market. The municipal yield curve is steep from a historical perspective. In addition, as the economy has been gaining some traction, we believe the trend of rising state tax revenues could remain in place, helping to strengthen state balance sheets. Should the real estate market show further improvement, local tax revenues, which have been challenged, could increase as well. We are also cautiously optimistic for the technical backdrop (supply/demand). Retail demand for municipal securities was weak during the second half of the reporting period. Given higher tax rates and attractive valuations versus equal-duration Treasuries, we're anticipating somewhat better demand for this asset class going forward. At the same time, we anticipate that supply will moderate in 2014 given less refinancing activity, a major driver of new municipal issuance in recent years.

Despite these positives, we believe there are several risks. News about Detroit's bankruptcy, credit issues in Puerto Rico and the likelihood of other municipal downgrades could negatively impact retail demand and put pressure on the market. While we anticipate the Fed will remain largely accommodative and not rush the taper of its asset purchases, in our opinion it's reasonable to assume that rates will move moderately higher in 2014. This, too, could be a headwind for the municipal market.

Sincerely,

Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continually offered. Generally, there is an initial public offering and, once issued, common shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and do not indicate future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For more current performance data, please visit www.nb.com.

The results shown in the table reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the sale of Fund shares.

The investment return and market price will fluctuate and common shares may trade at prices below NAV. Fund common shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("Management") had not waived a portion of its investment management fees during certain of the periods shown. Please see Note B in the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding fee waiver arrangements.

  In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), all investments held by each of Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. ("California"), Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. ("Intermediate") and Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. ("New York") (each individually a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") are carried at the value that Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("Management") believes a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment under current market conditions. Various inputs, including the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in the market, are considered in valuing the Funds' investments, some of which are discussed below. Significant management judgment may be necessary to value investments in accordance with ASC 820.

ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to create a classification of value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.

•  Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

•  Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, amortized cost, etc.)

•  Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing an investment are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The value of the Funds' investments in municipal securities is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on readily available bid quotations, or if quotations are not available, by methods which include various considerations such as yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions (generally Level 2 inputs). Other Level 2 inputs used by an independent pricing service to value municipal securities include current trades, bid-wanted lists (which informs the market that a holder is interested in selling a position and that offers will be considered), offerings, general information on market movement, direction, trends, and specific data on specialty issues.

Management has developed a process to periodically review information provided by independent pricing services for all types of securities.

If a valuation is not available from an independent pricing service, or if Management has reason to believe that the valuation received does not represent the amount a Fund might reasonably expect to receive on a current sale in an orderly transaction, the applicable Fund seeks to obtain quotations from principal market makers (generally considered Level 3 inputs). If such quotations are not readily available, the security is valued using methods the Fund's Board of Directors (each Fund's Board of Directors, a "Board") has approved on the belief that they reflect fair value. Numerous factors may be considered when determining the fair value of a security based on Level 2 or 3 inputs, including available analyst, media or other reports, trading in futures or American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and whether the issuer of the security being fair valued has other securities outstanding.

Fair value prices are necessarily estimates, and there is no assurance that such a price will be at or close to the price at which the security is next quoted or next trades.

Notes to Financial Statements Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds

Note A—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

1  General: The Funds were organized as Maryland corporations on July 29, 2002. California and New York registered as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies and Intermediate registered as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Each Fund's Board may classify or re-classify any unissued shares of capital stock into one or more classes of preferred stock without the approval of shareholders.

A zero balance, if any, reflects an actual amount rounding to less than $1,000.

The assets of each Fund belong only to that Fund, and the liabilities of each Fund are borne solely by that Fund and no other.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires Management to make estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2  Portfolio valuation: Investment securities are valued as indicated in the notes following the Funds' Schedule of Investments.

3  Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Interest income, including accretion of discount (adjusted for original issue discount, where applicable) and amortization of premium, where applicable, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the basis of identified cost and stated separately in the Statements of Operations.

4  Income tax information: It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders. To the extent a Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to shareholders, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.

The Funds have adopted the provisions of ASC 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as an income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the prior three fiscal years 2010 - 2012. As of October 31, 2013, the Funds did not have any unrecognized tax positions.

Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences, if any, are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by each Fund, timing differences, capital loss carryforwards expiring and differing characterization of distributions made by each Fund.

As determined on October 31, 2013, permanent differences resulting primarily from different book and tax accounting were reclassified at year end. Such differences may be attributed to one or more of the following: expiration of capital loss carryforwards and defaulted bond income adjustments. These reclassifications had no


29



effect on net income, net asset value ("NAV") or NAV per share of each Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the Funds recorded the following permanent reclassifications:

   

Paid-in Capital

  Undistributed
Net Investment
Income (Loss)
  Accumulated Net
Realized Gains
(Losses) on

(2,490,784

The differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings are primarily due to: timing differences of distribution payments, timing differences of wash sales, capital loss carryforwards and, for Intermediate and New York, defaulted bond income adjustments.

To the extent each Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carryforwards, it is the policy of each Fund not to distribute such gains. The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") became effective for the Funds on November 1, 2011. The Act modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs. Among the changes made are changes to the capital loss carryforward rules allowing for RICs to carry forward capital losses indefinitely and to retain the character of capital loss carryforwards as short-term or long-term ("Post-Enactment"). Rules in effect previously limited the carryforward period to eight years and all carryforwards were considered short-term in character ("Pre-Enactment"). As determined at October 31, 2013, the following Funds had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset net realized capital gains, if any, as follows:

Post-Enactment capital loss carryforwards must be fully used before Pre-Enactment capital loss carryforwards; therefore, under certain circumstances, Pre-Enactment capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date may expire unused.

During the year ended October 31, 2013, Intermediate and New York had capital loss carryforwards expire of $58,816 and $18,838, respectively.

5  Distributions to common shareholders: Each Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. It is the policy of each Fund to declare and pay monthly distributions to common shareholders. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally distributed in December. Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-date. Distributions to preferred shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note A-7.

On November 15, 2013, each Fund declared a monthly distribution to common shareholders payable December 16, 2013, to shareholders of record on November 29, 2013, with an ex-date of November 26, 2013 as follows:

6  Expense allocation: Certain expenses are applicable to multiple funds. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses borne by the complex of related investment companies, which includes open-end and closed-end investment companies for which Management serves as investment manager, that are not directly attributable to a particular investment company (e.g., a Fund) are allocated among the Funds and the other investment companies in the complex or series thereof on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the investment companies in the complex or series thereof can otherwise be made fairly.

7  Financial leverage: On October 21, 2002, the Funds re-classified unissued shares of capital stock into several series of Auction Market Preferred Shares ("AMPS"), as follows:

   

Series A Shares

On December 13, 2002, the Funds issued several series of AMPS, as follows:

   

Series A Shares

 

Series B Shares

 

California

   

1,180

Intermediate

   

3,588

New York

All shares of each series of AMPS have a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share plus any accumulated unpaid distributions, whether or not earned or declared by a Fund, but excluding interest thereon ("Liquidation Value"). Distributions to AMPS shareholders, which are cumulative, are accrued daily. It is the policy of each Fund to pay distributions every 7 days for each Fund's AMPS Series A and every 28 days for each Fund's AMPS Series B, unless in a special rate period.

In the absence of a special rate period, distribution rates are reset every 7 days for each Fund's AMPS Series A, based on the results of an auction. For the year ended October 31, 2013, distribution rates ranged from:

   

Distribution Rate

 

California

   

0.08

% – 0.38%

 

Intermediate

   

0.08

% – 0.38%

 

New York

   

0.08

% – 0.38%

 

In the absence of a special rate period, distribution rates are reset every 28 days for each Fund's AMPS Series B, based on the results of an auction. For the year ended October 31, 2013, distribution rates ranged from:

   

Distribution Rate

 

California

   

0.10

% – 0.32%

 

Intermediate

   

0.08

% – 0.32%

 

New York

   

0.08

% – 0.30%

 

The Funds declared distributions to AMPS shareholders for the period November 1, 2013 to November 30, 2013 for each series of the AMPS as follows:

   

Series A Shares

 

Series B Shares

 

California

 

 

  2,892

Intermediate

   

7,801

Since February 2008, the market for auction rate preferred securities has experienced an unprecedented number of failed auctions. In the Funds' regularly scheduled auctions, more AMPS were submitted for sale than there were offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear," and that preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their AMPS in these auctions were unable to do so. When a failed auction of AMPS occurs, the distribution rate for AMPS resets to a maximum rate, which is 110% of the base rate (the base rate is the greater of an "AA" rated composite commercial paper rate or the taxable equivalent of a short-term municipal bond rate) as a result of the failed auctions. Although the failed auctions have resulted in a current lack of liquidity for preferred shareholders, they are not an event of default for the Funds nor have they affected the credit quality of the AMPS. The Funds have paid, and continue to pay, distributions on their AMPS that are set at the maximum rate as a result of the failed auctions. If auctions continue to fail and the maximum rate increases due to changes in short term interest rates, the Funds' returns for common shareholders could be adversely affected. The Funds continue to monitor the developments in the AMPS market.

The Funds may redeem shares of each series of AMPS, in whole or in part, on the second business day preceding any distribution payment date at Liquidation Value.


32



The Funds are also subject to certain restrictions relating to the AMPS. Failure to comply with these restrictions could preclude the Funds from declaring any distributions to common shareholders or repurchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of AMPS at Liquidation Value.

The holders of AMPS are entitled to one vote per share and will vote with holders of common shares as a single class, except that the AMPS will vote separately as a class on certain matters, as required by law or a Fund's charter. The holders of a Fund's AMPS, voting as a separate class, are entitled at all times to elect two Directors of the Fund, and to elect a majority of the Directors of the Fund if the Fund fails to pay distributions on AMPS for two consecutive years.

8  Concentration of risk: The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry or region. California and New York normally invest a substantial portion of their assets in municipal bonds of issuers located in the state of California and the state of New York, respectively. The value of each of these Funds' securities are more susceptible to adverse economic, political, regulatory or other factors affecting the issuers of such municipal bonds than a fund that does not limit its investments to such issuers.

9  Indemnifications: Like many other companies, the Funds' organizational documents provide that their officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, both in some of their principal service contracts and in the normal course of their business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide indemnifications to other parties for certain types of losses or liabilities. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims against each Fund.

10  Arrangements with certain non-affiliated service providers: Prior to January 1, 2013, each Fund had an expense offset arrangement in connection with its custodian contract. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the impact of this arrangement was a reduction of expenses of $113, $40 and $79 for California, Intermediate and New York, respectively.

In connection with the settlement of each AMPS auction, each Fund pays, through the auction agent, a service fee to each participating broker-dealer based upon the aggregate liquidation preference of the AMPS held by the broker-dealer's customers. For any auction preceding a rate period of less than one year, the service fee is paid at the annual rate of 1/4 of 1% for each successful auction, and up to 3/20 of 1% if the auction fails; for any auction preceding a rate period of one year or more, the service fee is paid at a rate agreed to by each Fund and the broker-dealer.

In order to satisfy rating agency requirements, each Fund is required to provide the rating agency that rates its AMPS a report on a monthly basis verifying that each Fund is maintaining eligible assets having a discounted value equal to or greater than the Preferred Shares Basic Maintenance Amount, which is a minimum level set by the rating agency as one of the conditions to maintain its rating on the AMPS. "Discounted value" refers to the fact that the rating agency requires each Fund, in performing this calculation, to discount portfolio securities below their face value, at rates determined by the rating agency. Each Fund pays a fee to State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") for the preparation of this report which is reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Basic maintenance expense (Note A)."

Note B—Management Fees, Administration Fees, and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

Each Fund retains Management as its investment manager under a Management Agreement. For such investment management services, each Fund pays Management a fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily Managed Assets. Managed Assets equal the total assets of the Fund, less liabilities other than the aggregate indebtedness entered into for purposes of leverage. For purposes of calculating Managed Assets, the Liquidation Value of any AMPS outstanding is not considered a liability.


33



Each Fund retains Management as its administrator under an Administration Agreement. Each Fund pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.30% of its average daily Managed Assets under this agreement. Additionally, Management retains State Street as its sub-administrator under a Sub-Administration Agreement. Management pays State Street a fee for all services received under the agreement.

Neuberger Berman LLC ("Neuberger") is retained by Management to furnish it with investment recommendations and research information without added cost to the Funds. Several individuals who are officers and/or Directors of each Fund are also employees of Neuberger and/or Management.

Management and Neuberger are indirect subsidiaries of Neuberger Berman Group LLC (("NBG") and together with its consolidated subsidiaries ("NB Group")). NBSH Acquisition, LLC ("NBSH" and together with NBG, the "NB Parties"), which is owned by portfolio managers, members of the NB Group management team and certain of NB Group's key employees, senior professionals, and certain of their permitted transferees, owns, as of September 30, 2013, approximately 76% of NBG's equity, and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("LBHI") and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively the "LBHI Parties") own the remaining 24% of such equity. Pursuant to agreements among the NB Parties and the LBHI Parties, as well as the issuance of NBSH equity to employees with respect to their previously made equity elections relating to 2013 compensation, it is expected that NBSH will own 81% of NBG's equity as of January 1, 2014. NBG has the opportunity to continue to redeem the remaining NBG equity held by the LBHI Parties through a process that is expected to end in 2016.

Note E—Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities ("ASU 2011-11"). Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods, ASU 2011-11 is intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. At this time, Management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on the Funds' financial statements.

In June 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-08 Financial Services — Investment Companies (Topic 946) — Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements ("ASU 2013-08"). Effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013, ASU 2013-08 sets forth a methodology for determining whether an entity should be characterized as an investment company and prescribes fair value accounting for an investment company's non-controlling ownership interest in another investment company. FASB has determined that a fund registered under the 1940 Act automatically meets ASU 2013-08's criteria for an investment company. Although still evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2013-08 on the Funds' financial statements, Management expects that the impact will be limited to additional financial statement disclosures.

Notes to Financial Highlights Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds

  Total return based on per share NAV reflects the effects of changes in NAV on the performance of each Fund during each fiscal period. Total return based on per share market value assumes the purchase of common shares at the market price on the first day and sale of common shares at the market price on the last day of the period indicated. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed to be reinvested at prices obtained under each Fund's distribution reinvestment plan. Results represent past performance and do not indicate future results. Current returns may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment returns may fluctuate and shares when sold may be worth more or less than original cost. For each Fund, total return would have been lower if Management had not waived a portion of the investment management fee during certain of the periods shown.

#  Represents the annualized ratios of net expenses to average daily net assets if Management had not waived a portion of the investment management fee.

  After waiver of a portion of the investment management fee by Management during certain of the periods shown. Each Fund is required to calculate an expense ratio without taking into consideration any expense reductions related to expense offset arrangements. Prior to January 1, 2013, each Fund had an expense offset arrangement in connection with its custodian contract. Had the Funds not received expense reductions related to expense offset arrangements, the annualized ratios of net expenses to average daily net assets applicable to common shareholders would have been:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of:

Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc.
Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc.
Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc., Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc., and Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. (the "Funds"), including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc., Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. and Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. at October 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan for each Fund

Computershare Trust Company, N.A (the "Plan Agent") will act as Plan Agent for shareholders who have not elected in writing to receive dividends and distributions in cash (each a "Participant"), will open an account for each Participant under the Distribution Reinvestment Plan ("Plan") in the same name as their then-current shares of the Fund's common stock ("Shares") are registered, and will put the Plan into effect for each Participant as of the first record date for a dividend or capital gains distribution.

Whenever the Fund declares a dividend or distribution with respect to the Shares, each Participant will receive such dividends and distributions in additional Shares, including fractional Shares acquired by the Plan Agent and credited to each Participant's account. If on the payment date for a cash dividend or distribution, the net asset value is equal to or less than the market price per Share plus estimated brokerage commissions, the Plan Agent shall automatically receive such Shares, including fractions, for each Participant's account. Except in the circumstances described in the next paragraph, the number of additional Shares to be credited to each Participant's account shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend or distribution payable on their Shares by the greater of the net asset value per Share determined as of the date of purchase or 95% of the then current market price per Share on the payment date.

Should the net asset value per Share exceed the market price per Share plus estimated brokerage commissions on the payment date for a cash dividend or distribution, the Plan Agent or a broker-dealer selected by the Plan Agent shall endeavor, for a purchase period lasting until the last business day before the next date on which the Shares trade on an "ex-dividend" basis, but in no event, except as provided below, more than 30 days after the payment date, to apply the amount of such dividend or distribution on each Participant's Shares (less their pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent's open-market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of such dividend or distribution) to purchase Shares on the open market for each Participant's account. No such purchases may be made more than 30 days after the payment date for such dividend or distribution except where temporary curtailment or suspension of purchase is necessary to comply with applicable provisions of federal securities laws. If, at the close of business on any day during the purchase period the net asset value per Share equals or is less than the market price per Share plus estimated brokerage commissions, the Plan Agent will not make any further open-market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of such dividend or distribution. If the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full dividend or distribution amount through open-market purchases during the purchase period, the Plan Agent shall request that, with respect to the uninvested portion of such dividend or distribution amount, the Fund issue new Shares at the close of business on the earlier of the last day of the purchase period or the first day during the purchase period on which the net asset value per Share equals or is less than the market price per Share, plus estimated brokerage commissions, such Shares to be issued in accordance with the terms specified in the third paragraph hereof. These newly issued Shares will be valued at the then-current market price per Share at the time such Shares are to be issued.

For purposes of making the reinvestment purchase comparison under the Plan, (a) the market price of the Shares on a particular date shall be the last sales price on the New York Stock Exchange (or if the Shares are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, such other exchange on which the Shares are principally traded) on that date, or, if there is no sale on such Exchange (or if not so listed, in the over-the-counter market) on that date, then the mean between the closing bid and asked quotations for such Shares on such Exchange on such date and (b) the net asset value per Share on a particular date shall be the net asset value per Share most recently calculated by or on behalf of the Fund. All dividends, distributions and other payments (whether made in cash or Shares) shall be made net of any applicable withholding tax.

Open-market purchases provided for above may be made on any securities exchange where the Fund's Shares are traded, in the over-the-counter market or in negotiated transactions and may be on such terms as to price, delivery and otherwise as the Plan Agent shall determine. Each Participant's uninvested funds held by the Plan Agent will not bear interest, and it is understood that, in any event, the Plan Agent shall have no liability in connection with any inability to purchase Shares within 30 days after the initial date of such purchase as herein provided, or with the timing of any purchases effected. The Plan Agent shall have no responsibility as to the value of the Shares acquired for each


41



Participant's account. For the purpose of cash investments, the Plan Agent may commingle each Participant's funds with those of other shareholders of the Fund for whom the Plan Agent similarly acts as agent, and the average price (including brokerage commissions) of all Shares purchased by the Plan Agent as Plan Agent shall be the price per Share allocable to each Participant in connection therewith.

The Plan Agent may hold each Participant's Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan together with the Shares of other shareholders of the Fund acquired pursuant to the Plan in noncertificated form in the Plan Agent's name or that of the Plan Agent's nominee. The Plan Agent will forward to each Participant any proxy solicitation material and will vote any Shares so held for each Participant only in accordance with the instructions set forth on proxies returned by the Participant to the Fund.

The Plan Agent will confirm to each Participant each acquisition made for their account as soon as practicable but not later than 60 days after the date thereof. Although each Participant may from time to time have an undivided fractional interest (computed to three decimal places) in a Share, no certificates for a fractional Share will be issued. However, dividends and distributions on fractional Shares will be credited to each Participant's account. In the event of termination of a Participant's account under the Plan, the Plan Agent will adjust for any such undivided fractional interest in cash at the market value of the Shares at the time of termination, less the pro rata expense of any sale required to make such an adjustment.

Any Share dividends or split Shares distributed by the Fund on Shares held by the Plan Agent for Participants will be credited to their accounts. In the event that the Fund makes available to its shareholders rights to purchase additional Shares or other securities, the Shares held for each Participant under the Plan will be added to other Shares held by the Participant in calculating the number of rights to be issued to each Participant.

The Plan Agent's service fee for handling capital gains distributions or income dividends will be paid by the Fund. Participants will be charged their pro rata share of brokerage commissions on all open-market purchases.

Each Participant may terminate their account under the Plan by notifying the Plan Agent in writing. Such termination will be effective immediately if the Participant's notice is received by the Plan Agent not less than ten days prior to any dividend or distribution record date, otherwise such termination will be effective the first trading day after the payment date for such dividend or distribution with respect to any subsequent dividend or distribution. The Plan may be terminated by the Plan Agent or the Fund upon notice in writing mailed to each Participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any dividend or distribution by the Fund.

These terms and conditions may be amended or supplemented by the Plan Agent or the Fund at any time or times but, except when necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or the rules or policies of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory authority, only by mailing to each Participant appropriate written notice at least 30 days prior to the effective date thereof. The amendment or supplement shall be deemed to be accepted by each Participant unless, prior to the effective date thereof, the Plan Agent receives written notice of the termination of their account under the Plan. Any such amendment may include an appointment by the Plan Agent in its place and stead of a successor Plan Agent under these terms and conditions, with full power and authority to perform all or any of the acts to be performed by the Plan Agent under these terms and conditions. Upon any such appointment of any Plan Agent for the purpose of receiving dividends and distributions, the Fund will be authorized to pay to such successor Plan Agent, for each Participant's account, all dividends and distributions payable on Shares held in their name or under the Plan for retention or application by such successor Plan Agent as provided in these terms and conditions.

The Plan Agent shall at all times act in good faith and agrees to use its best efforts within reasonable limits to ensure the accuracy of all services performed under this Agreement and to comply with applicable law, but assumes no responsibility and shall not be liable for loss or damage due to errors unless such error is caused by the Plan Agent's negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct or that of its employees. These terms and conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland.


42



Reinvested dividends and distributions are taxed in the same manner as cash dividends and distributions — i.e., reinvestment in additional Shares does not relieve shareholders of, or defer the need to pay, any income tax that may be payable (or that is required to be withheld) on Fund dividends and distributions. Participants should contact their tax professionals for information on how the Plan impacts their personal tax situation. For additional information about the Plan, please contact the Plan Agent at 1-866-227-2136 or 480 Washington Boulevard, Jersey City, NJ 07317.

Board Consideration of the Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements

On an annual basis, the Boards of Directors (each a "Board") of Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc., Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc., and Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. (each a "Fund"), including the Directors who are not "interested persons" of Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("Management") (including its affiliates) or a Fund ("Independent Fund Directors"), consider whether to continue the Funds' Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements ("Agreements"). At a meeting held on October 22-23, 2013, each Board, including the Independent Fund Directors, approved the continuation of the Agreements for its Fund.

In evaluating the Agreements, the Boards, including the Independent Fund Directors, reviewed extensive materials provided by Management and Neuberger Berman LLC ("Neuberger") in response to questions submitted by the Boards and counsel for the Independent Fund Directors, and met with senior representatives of Management and Neuberger regarding their personnel, operations and financial conditions as they relate to the Funds. The annual contract review extends over at least two regular meetings of the Boards to ensure that Management and Neuberger have time to respond to any questions the Independent Fund Directors may have on their initial review of the materials and that the Independent Fund Directors have time to consider those responses.

In connection with its deliberations, the Boards also considered the broad range of information relevant to the annual contract review that is provided to the Boards (including their various standing committees) at meetings throughout the year, including investment performance reports and related portfolio information for the Funds, as well as periodic reports on, among other matters, pricing and valuation; brokerage and execution; and compliance and other services provided by Management, Neuberger and their affiliates. To assist the Boards in their deliberations regarding the annual contract review, the Boards have established Contract Review Committees comprised of Independent Fund Directors, as well as other committees that focus throughout the year on specific areas relevant to the annual contract review, such as Fund performance or compliance matters.

Throughout the process, the Independent Fund Directors were advised by counsel that is experienced in Investment Company Act of 1940 matters and that is independent of Management. The Independent Fund Directors received from independent counsel a memorandum discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements. During the course of the year and during their deliberations regarding the annual contract review, the Independent Fund Directors met with such counsel separately from representatives of Management and Neuberger.

In connection with its approval of the continuation of the Agreements for its Fund, each Board evaluated the terms of the Agreements, the overall fairness of the Agreements to its Fund and whether the Agreements were in the best interests of its Fund and Fund shareholders. Each Board considered all factors it deemed relevant with respect to its Fund, including the following factors: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Management and Neuberger; (2) the investment performance of the Fund compared to relevant market indices and a peer group of investment companies; (3) the costs of the services provided and profit or loss realized by Management and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the Fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect any such potential economies of scale for the benefit of investors in the Fund. While each Director may have attributed different weights to the various factors, each Board's determination to approve the continuation of the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to it throughout the year and specifically in connection with the annual contract review. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling. Each Board focused on the overall costs and benefits of the Agreements relating to its Fund and, through its Fund, Fund shareholders.

With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, each Board considered the investment philosophy and decision-making processes of Management and Neuberger, and the qualifications, experience and capabilities of and the resources available to the portfolio management personnel of Management and Neuberger who perform services for its Fund. The Boards noted that Management also provides certain administrative services, including fund accounting


55



and compliance oversight. The Boards also considered Management's and Neuberger's policies and practices regarding brokerage and allocation of portfolio transactions and reviewed the quality of the execution services that Management had provided. The Boards also considered that Management's responsibilities include daily management of investment, operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory and compliance risks as they relate to the Funds, and considered information regarding Management's process for managing risk. In addition, the Boards noted the positive compliance history of Management and Neuberger, as each firm has been free of significant reported compliance problems. The Boards also considered the general structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the Funds. As in past years, the Board also considered the manner in which Management addressed various non-routine matters that arose during the year, some of them a result of developments in the broader fund industry or the regulations governing it. In addition, the Boards considered actions taken by Management and Neuberger in response to recent market conditions, including actions taken in response to changes in market volatility, and considered the overall performance of Management and Neuberger in this context.

With respect to investment performance, each Board considered information regarding its Fund's short-, intermediate-, and long-term performance, as applicable, on both a market return and net asset value basis and relative to a relevant market index (or benchmark) and the average performance of a composite peer group of closed-end investment companies pursuing broadly similar strategies (as constructed by an independent organization). Each Board reviewed performance in relation to certain measures of the degree of investment risk undertaken by the portfolio managers. The Boards factored into their evaluations of the Funds' performance the limitations inherent in the methodology for constructing peer groups and determining which investment companies should be included in which peer groups. In the case of those Funds that had underperformed their relevant market indices and/or peer groups, the Boards discussed with Management each Fund's performance and steps that Management had taken or intended to take, to improve performance. The Boards considered Management's responsiveness with respect to the Funds that experienced lagging performance. In this regard, the Boards noted that performance, especially short-term performance, is only one of the factors that it deems relevant to its consideration of a Fund's Agreements and that, after considering all relevant factors, it may be appropriate to approve the continuation of the Agreements notwithstanding a Fund's recent performance.

With respect to the overall fairness of the Agreements, each Board considered the fee structure under the Agreements as compared to a peer group of comparable funds and any fall-out benefits likely to accrue to Management or Neuberger or their affiliates from their relationship with the applicable Fund. The Boards also considered the profitability of Management and its affiliates from their association with the Funds.

Each Board reviewed a comparison of its Fund's management fee and overall expense ratio to a peer group of broadly comparable funds. With regard to the sub-advisory fee paid to Neuberger, the Boards noted that this fee is "at cost." Each Board noted that the comparative management fee analysis includes, in its Fund's management fee, the separate administrative fee paid to Management, but it was not clear whether this was the case for all funds in the peer group. In addition, each Board considered the mean and median of the management fees and expense ratios of its Fund's peer group. Where a Fund's management fee was higher than the peer group mean and/or median, the Board considered whether specific portfolio management or administration needs contributed to the management fee. The Boards considered the size of any profit or loss that management realized.

The Boards considered whether there were other funds that were advised or sub-advised by Management or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the Funds. Each Board compared the fees charged to its Fund to the fees charged to any such funds. Each Board considered the appropriateness and reasonableness of any differences between the fees charged to its Fund and any such funds, and determined that any differences in fees and fee structures were consistent with the management and other services provided.

Each Board also evaluated any apparent or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services Management provides to its Fund. The Boards considered that the Funds are closed-end bond funds that are not continuously offering shares and that, without daily inflows and outflows of capital, there are limited opportunities for significant economies of scale to be realized by Management in managing the Funds' assets.


56



In concluding that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship to its Funds were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to the Fund, each Board reviewed specific data as to Management's profit or loss on each Fund for a recent period. The Boards also carefully examined Management's cost allocation methodology. The Boards recognized that Management should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for services it provides to the Funds and, based on their review, concluded that Management's reported level of profitability was reasonable.

Conclusions

In approving the Agreements, each Board concluded that the terms of each respective Agreement are fair and reasonable to its Fund and that approval of the Agreements is in the best interests of the respective Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, with respect to each Fund, the respective Board considered that Management and Neuberger could be expected to provide a high level of service to the Fund; that the performance of each Fund was satisfactory over time, or, in the case of underperforming Funds, that it retained confidence in Management's and Neuberger's capabilities to manage the Fund; that the Fund's fee structure appeared to the Board to be reasonable given the nature, extent and quality of services provided; and that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship to the Fund were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to the Fund. Each Board's conclusions may be based in part on its consideration of materials prepared in connection with the Agreements in prior years and on each Board's ongoing regular review of fund performance and operations throughout the year, in addition to material prepared specifically for the most recent annual review of the Agreements.

The complete schedule of investments for the Registrant is disclosed in the Registrant’s Annual Report, which is included as Item 1 of this Form N-CSR.
 
Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.
 
The Board has delegated to Neuberger Berman Management LLC (“NB Management”) the responsibility to vote proxies related to the securities held in the Registrant’s portfolio. Under this authority, NB Management is required by the Board to vote proxies related to portfolio securities in the best interests of the Registrant and its stockholders. The Board permits NB Management to contract with a third party to obtain proxy voting and related services, including research of current issues.
 
NB Management has implemented written Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (“Proxy Voting Policy”) that are designed to reasonably ensure that NB Management votes proxies prudently and in the best interest of its advisory clients for whom NB Management has voting authority, including the Registrant. The Proxy Voting Policy also describes how NB Management addresses any conflicts that may arise between its interests and those of its clients with respect to proxy voting.
 
NB Management’s Proxy Committee is responsible for developing, authorizing, implementing and updating the Proxy Voting Policy, overseeing the proxy voting process and engaging and overseeing any independent third-party vendor as a voting delegate to review, monitor and/or vote
 
 
 
 

 
proxies. In order to apply the Proxy Voting Policy noted above in a timely and consistent manner, NB Management utilizes Glass, Lewis & Co. (“Glass Lewis”) to vote proxies in accordance with NB Management’s voting guidelines.
 
NB Management’s guidelines adopt the voting recommendations of Glass Lewis.  NB Management retains final authority and fiduciary responsibility for proxy voting. NB Management believes that this process is reasonably designed to address material conflicts of interest that may arise between NB Management and a client as to how proxies are voted.
 
In the event that an investment professional at NB Management believes that it is in the best interests of a client or clients to vote proxies in a manner inconsistent with NB Management’s proxy voting guidelines or in a manner inconsistent with Glass Lewis recommendations, the Proxy Committee will review information submitted by the investment professional to determine that there is no material conflict of interest between NB Management and the client with respect to the voting of the proxy in that manner.
 
If the Proxy Committee determines that the voting of a proxy as recommended by the investment professional presents a material conflict of interest between NB Management and the client or clients with respect to the voting of the proxy, the Proxy Committee shall: (i) take no further action, in which case Glass Lewis shall vote such proxy in accordance with the proxy voting guidelines or as Glass Lewis recommends; (ii) disclose such conflict to the client or clients and obtain written direction from the client as to how to vote the proxy; (iii) suggest that the client or clients engage another party to determine how to vote the proxy; or (iv) engage another independent third party to determine how to vote the proxy.

Conflicts of Interest
 
Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a Portfolio Manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund or other account. The management of multiple funds and accounts (including proprietary accounts) may give rise to actual or potential conflicts of interest if the funds and accounts have different or similar objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees, as the Portfolio Manager must allocate his time and investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts.  A Portfolio Manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by the Registrant, and which may include transactions that are directly contrary to the positions taken by the Registrant.  For example, a Portfolio Manager may engage in short sales of securities for another account that are the same type of securities in which the Registrant also invests.  In such a case, a Portfolio Manager could be seen as harming the performance of the Registrant for the benefit of the account engaging in short sales if the short sales cause the market value of the securities to fall.  Additionally, if a Portfolio Manager identifies a limited investment opportunity that may be suitable for more than one fund or other account, the Registrant may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity.  If one account were to buy or sell portfolio securities shortly before another account bought or sold the same securities, it could affect the price paid or received by the second account.  Securities selected for funds or accounts other than the Registrant may outperform the securities selected for the Registrant.  Finally, a conflict of interest may arise if NB Management and a Portfolio Manager have a financial incentive to favor one account over another, such as a performance-based management fee that applies to one account but not the Registrant or other accounts for which the Registrant’s Portfolio Manager is responsible.
 
 
 
 

 
NB Management, Neuberger Berman LLC and the Registrant have adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.
 
(a)(3) Compensation (as of October 31, 2013)
 
Our compensation philosophy is one that focuses on rewarding performance and incentivizing our employees.  We are also focused on creating a compensation process that we believe is fair, transparent, and competitive with the market.

Compensation for Portfolio Managers consists of fixed and variable compensation but is more heavily weighted on the variable portion of total compensation and reflects individual performance, overall contribution to the team, collaboration with colleagues across Neuberger Berman Group LLC (“NBG,” and together with its consolidated subsidiaries “NB Group”) and, most importantly, overall investment performance.  In particular, the bonus for a Portfolio Manager is determined by using a formula and may or may not contain a discretionary component.  If applicable, the discretionary component is determined on the basis of a variety of criteria, including investment performance (including the pre-tax three-year track record in order to emphasize long-term performance and in certain instances the one-year and five-year track records), utilization of central resources (including research, sales and operations/support), business building to further the longer term sustainable success of the investment team, effective team/people management, and overall contribution to the success of NB Group.  In addition, compensation of portfolio managers at other comparable firms is considered, with an eye toward remaining competitive with the market.

The terms of our long-term retention incentives are as follows:

Employee-Owned Equity.  An integral part of the management buyout of Neuberger Berman in 2009 was implementing an equity ownership structure which embodies the importance of incentivizing and retaining key investment professionals.

Most of the senior Portfolio Managers on the mutual fund teams are key shareholders in the equity ownership structure.  Currently, on a yearly basis, the equity ownership allocations will be re-evaluated and re-allocated based on performance and other key metrics. Employee equity and preferred stock is subject to vesting and other terms and conditions.

Contingent Compensation Plan. We have also established the Neuberger Berman Group Contingent Compensation Plan pursuant to which a certain percentage of a Portfolio Manager’s compensation is deemed contingent and vests over a three-year period.  Under the plan, participating Portfolio Managers and other participating employees who are members of mutual fund investment teams will receive a cash return on their contingent compensation with a portion of such return being determined based on the team’s investment performance, as well as the performance of a portfolio of other investment funds managed by NB Group investment professionals.

Restrictive Covenants. Portfolio Managers who have received equity interests have agreed to certain restrictive covenants, which impose obligations and restrictions on the use of confidential
 
 
 

 
information and the solicitation of Neuberger Berman employees and clients over a specified period of time if the Portfolio Manager leaves the firm.

Other Accounts. Certain Portfolio Managers may manage products other than mutual funds, such as high net worth separate accounts.  For the management of these accounts, a Portfolio Manager may generally receive a percentage of pre-tax revenue determined on a monthly basis less certain deductions (e.g., a “finder’s fee” or “referral fee” paid to a third party).  The percentage of revenue a Portfolio Manager receives will vary based on certain revenue thresholds.
