Item 1. Report to Stockholders.

Following is a copy of the annual report transmitted to stockholders pursuant to Rule 30e-1 under the Act.

 

Dear Stockholder,

I am pleased to present this annual report for Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. (“California Fund”), Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. (“Intermediate Fund”) and Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. (“New York Fund” and together with the California Fund and the Intermediate Fund, the “Funds”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2016. The report includes a portfolio commentary, 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.

On April 15, 2016, the New York Fund announced a decrease in its monthly distribution rate to $0.048 per share of common stock from $0.057 per share, and the California Fund announced a decrease in its monthly distribution rate to $0.062 per share of common stock from $0.068 per share. The changes were reflected in the Funds’ May 16, 2016 distribution. The Funds’ decreases in distribution rates were the result of numerous factors, including the general decline in yields available in the municipal market and the resulting impact on the Funds’ levels of earnings.

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,

1

For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, on a net asset value (NAV) basis, each of Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. (“California Fund”), Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. (“Intermediate Fund”) and Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. (“New York Fund” and together with the California Fund and the Intermediate Fund, the “Funds”) outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 10-Year Municipal Bond Index. The California Fund, Intermediate Fund and New York Fund posted 7.28%, 7.19% and 6.27% total returns, respectively, whereas the benchmark generated a 4.31% return for the reporting period. (Fund performance on a market basis is provided in the table immediately following this letter.) The use of leverage (typically a performance enhancer in up markets and a detractor during market retreats) contributed to performance given the positive return for the municipal market during the reporting period.

The municipal bond market posted a positive return during the reporting period, but modestly lagged the overall taxable bond market. Fundamentals in the municipal market remained stable overall as the U.S. economy continued to modestly expand. However, federal and state tax revenues moderated in 2016, which bears close scrutiny going forward. The market was also supported by declining long-term Treasury yields and continued policy accommodation by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed). While new supply meaningfully increased as the reporting period progressed, this was generally met with solid demand. All told, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index gained 4.06% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016. In contrast, the overall taxable bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 4.37%.

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. Yield curve positioning was positive for results as the municipal curve flattened over the period. In general, the average durations of the securities held by the Funds were slightly shorter than the benchmark. This detracted from performance as longer-term rates declined over the fiscal year.

The Funds maintained a lower quality relative to that of the benchmark in an attempt to generate additional yield. This was additive for results given the outperformance of lower quality bonds during the reporting period. From a sector perspective, overweights to revenue bonds contributed to results as they largely outperformed general obligation bonds. In particular, an overweight and security selection of tobacco securitization bonds contributed to performance. Conversely, the Funds’ underweight to uninsured bonds issued by Puerto Rico was a drag on returns as these bonds rallied sharply over the period.

Looking ahead, we maintain an overall positive outlook for the municipal bond market.

We believe the U.S. economy will continue to expand at a moderate pace and the Fed will take a very measured approach in terms of normalizing monetary policy. Despite some weakening late in the period, we believe technical factors for the municipal market will improve in the coming months. In particular, we anticipate seeing moderating supply and solid demand from retail investors. We continue to believe that security selection and active yield curve management could be key drivers of returns for the remainder of the year and in 2017.

Sincerely,

James L. Iselin and S. Blake Miller

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015 were as follows:

As of October 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a U.S. federal income tax basis were as follows:

The differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings are primarily due to: timing differences of distribution payments, partnership basis adjustments, capital loss carryforwards and 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 Modernization Act of 2010 made 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, 2016, the following Funds had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset net realized capital gains, if any, as follows:

35

On December 15, 2016, each Fund declared a monthly distribution to common stockholders payable January 17, 2017, to stockholders of record on December 30, 2016, with an ex-date of December 28, 2016 as follows:

36

All shares of each series of AMPS had 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 (“AMPS Liquidation Value”). Distributions to AMPS stockholders, which were cumulative, were accrued daily. It was 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.

On June 24, 2014, the Funds re-classified unissued shares of capital stock into VMTPS Series A, as follows:

On June 30, 2014, July 1, 2014 and July 2, 2014, the Funds issued VMTPS Series A, as follows:

Each Fund used the proceeds of the sale of VMTPS to redeem its outstanding AMPS. Each Fund’s VMTPS have a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share plus any accumulated unpaid distributions, whether or not earned or declared by the Fund, but excluding interest thereon (“VMTPS Liquidation Value”). Distributions on the VMTPS are accrued daily and paid monthly at a floating rate. For financial reporting purposes only, the liquidation preference of the VMTPS is recognized as a liability in each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The distribution rate for each Fund’s VMTPS is calculated based on the applicable SIFMA Municipal Swap Index plus a spread. The table below sets forth key terms of each Fund’s VMTPS.

The Funds have paid up front expenses in connection with offering the VMTPS, which are being amortized over the life of the VMTPS. The expenses are included in the “Distributions to variable rate municipal term preferred shareholders and amortization of offering costs (Note A)” line item that is reflected in the Statements of Operations.

Each Fund may redeem VMTPS, in whole or in part, at its option after giving a minimum amount of notice to the relevant holders of its VMTPS, but will incur additional expenses if it chooses to so redeem. Each Fund is also subject to certain restrictions relating to the VMTPS. Failure to comply with these restrictions could preclude a Fund from declaring any distributions to common stockholders or repurchasing common stock and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of VMTPS at VMTPS Liquidation Value. The holders of VMTPS are entitled to

Note B—Investment 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, any VMTPS Liquidation Value (AMPS Liquidation Value prior to June 30, 2014, July 1, 2014 and July 2, 2014 for California, Intermediate and New York, respectively) is not considered a liability.

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.

Prior to January 1, 2016, Neuberger Berman LLC (“Neuberger”) was retained by Management pursuant to Sub-Advisory Agreements 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 Management.

38

During the year ended October 31, 2016, there were purchase and sale transactions of long-term securities as follows:

Note D—Capital:

Transactions in shares of common stock for the years ended October 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015 were as follows:

Note E—Legal Entity Consolidation:

Effective January 1, 2016, Neuberger Berman Management LLC (“NBM”) and Neuberger transferred to Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC (“NBFI”) their rights and obligations pertaining to all services they provided to the Funds under the Management Agreements, Sub-Advisory Agreements and the Administration Agreements (the “Agreements”). Following such transfer, NBFI was renamed Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC. Additionally, effective January 1, 2016, the Sub-Advisory Agreements between Neuberger and NBFI were terminated.

Management now serves as the Funds’ investment manager and administrator. The investment professionals of NBM and Neuberger, who provided services to the Funds under the Agreements, continue to provide the same services, except that they provide those services in their new capacities as investment professionals of Management. Further, the consolidation did not result in any change in the investment processes currently employed by any Fund, the nature or level of services provided to any Fund, or the fees any Fund pays under its Agreements.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders 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, 2016, 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, 2016 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, 2016, 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.

Computershare, Inc. (the “Plan Agent”) will act as Plan Agent for stockholders 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

46

The Plan Agent may hold each Participant’s Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan together with the Shares of other stockholders 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 stockholders 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 and other 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.

On an annual basis, the Boards of Directors (each a “Board” and, collectively, the “Boards”) 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” and, collectively, the “Funds”), including the Directors who are not “interested persons” of Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC (“Management”) (including its affiliates) or a Fund (“Independent Fund Directors”), consider whether to continue the Funds’ management agreements with Management (the “Agreements” and, with respect to each Fund, the “Agreement”). Throughout the process, the Independent Fund Directors are advised by counsel that is experienced in Investment Company Act of 1940 matters and that is independent of Management (“Independent Counsel”). At a meeting held on October 18, 2016, each Board, including its Independent Fund Directors, approved the continuation of the Agreement.

In evaluating the Agreements, the Boards, including the Independent Fund Directors, reviewed extensive materials provided by Management in response to questions submitted by the Independent Fund Directors and Independent Counsel, and met with senior representatives of Management regarding its personnel, operations and financial condition as they relate to the Funds. The annual contract review extends over at least two regular meetings of the Boards to ensure that Management has 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 their 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 each Fund, as well as periodic reports on, among other matters, pricing and valuation; quality of portfolio trade execution; compliance and other services provided by Management and its 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. Those committees provide reports that feed into the Contract Review Committee, which reviews and takes account of the information.

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 Contract Review Committees and the Independent Fund Directors met with Independent Counsel separately from representatives of Management.

In connection with its approval of the continuation of the Agreement for its Fund, each Board evaluated the terms of the Agreement, the overall fairness of the Agreement to its Fund and whether the Agreement was in the best interests of its Fund and Fund stockholders. 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; (2) the investment performance of the Fund compared to an appropriate market index and a peer group of investment companies; (3) the costs of the services provided and the profit realized by Management and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; (4) whether and to what extent 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 the Fund’s stockholders. Each Board’s determination to approve the continuation of the Agreement 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, and each Director may have attributed different weights to the various factors. Each Board focused on the overall costs and benefits of the Agreement to its Fund and, through the Fund, Fund stockholders.

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 the qualifications, experience, capabilities of, and resources available to, the portfolio management personnel of Management who perform services for its Fund. The Boards noted that Management also provides certain administrative services, including fund accounting and compliance oversight. The

With respect to investment performance, each Board considered information regarding its Fund’s short-, intermediate- and long-term performance on both a market return and net asset value basis relative to its benchmark and the average net asset value performance of a composite peer group (as constructed by an independent organization) of closed-end investment companies pursuing broadly similar strategies. Considering short-, intermediate- and long-term performance enables each Board to evaluate performance in a variety of market conditions. Each Board also 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 benchmark index and/or peer groups over certain periods, the Boards discussed with Management each Fund’s performance and steps that Management had taken, or intended to take, to improve performance. Each Board met with the Portfolio Managers of its Fund during the period since the last contract renewal to discuss the Fund’s performance. The Boards also considered Management’s responsiveness with respect to the Funds that experienced lagging performance. In this regard, each Board noted that performance, especially short-term performance, is only one of the factors that it deems relevant to its consideration of its Fund’s Agreement and that, after considering all relevant factors, it may be appropriate to approve the continuation of the Agreement notwithstanding its Fund’s recent performance.

With respect to the overall fairness of the applicable Agreement, each Board considered the fee structure for its Fund under the Agreement as compared to a peer group of comparable funds and any fall-out (i.e. indirect) benefits likely to accrue to Management or its affiliates from their relationship with its Fund. The Boards also considered the profitability of Management and its affiliates from their association with the Funds, and year-over-year changes in each of Management’s reported expense categories. Each Board reviewed a comparison of its Fund’s management fee and total expense ratio to a peer group of broadly comparable funds. 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 administrative services were included in the management fees 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.

With regard to the investment performance of each Fund and the costs of the services provided to each Fund, the applicable Board considered the following information.

The Boards also considered whether there were other funds or separate accounts that were advised or sub-advised by Management or its affiliates with investment objectives, policies and strategies that were similar to those of the Funds. Each Board had before them the fees charged to its Fund and the fees charged to any such funds and separate accounts managed in similar styles to the Fund. Each Board was aware of the additional expenses borne by common stockholders as a result of its Fund’s leveraged structure. Each Board considered the appropriateness and reasonableness of any differences between the fees charged to its Fund and any such comparable funds and/or separate accounts and determined that 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.

Each Board also considered that Management has provided, at no added cost to its Fund, certain additional services that were required by new regulations or regulatory interpretations, impelled by changes in the securities markets or the business landscape, and/or requested by the Board. In concluding that the benefits accruing to Management and affiliates by virtue of their relationship with its 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 reviewed specific data as to Management’s profit on its Fund for a recent period. The Boards also considered 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 on the Funds was reasonable.

Conclusions

In approving the continuation of the applicable Agreement, each Board concluded that the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable to its Fund and that approval of the continuation of the Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and Fund stockholders. In reaching this determination, with respect to its Fund, the respective Board considered that Management could be expected to provide a high level of service to the Fund; that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory over time, or, in the case of underperforming Funds, that it retained confidence in Management’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 with 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 approval or continuance of the Agreement 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 Agreement.
