Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of each Fund, pursuant to Rule 14a-6(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, filed herewith are the preliminary proxy materials consisting of a Letter to Stockholders, Notice of Joint Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Joint Proxy Statement and Form of Proxy to be used in connection with the Joint Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Funds (collectively, the “Meeting”).
As set forth in more detail in the accompanying preliminary proxy materials, the Meeting is being held to approve new management agreements, new sub-advisory agreements and the election of Class I Directors to the Board of Directors of each Fund. Please note that in addition to the incumbent Directors that each Board is recommending to be elected at the Meeting, Western Investment LLC notified each Board of its intention to nominate five candidates at the Meeting to serve as Class I Directors of each Fund. Please also note that the disclosure in these preliminary proxy materials in connection with the sale of a controlling interest in each Fund’s investment manager is substantially similar to the corresponding disclosure contained in the Neuberger Berman open-end fund definitive proxy statements filed with the SEC on February 6, 2009 and that certain information in the preliminary proxy materials is in the process of being compiled and will be included in each Fund’s definitive proxy statement filing.
If you have any questions regarding the foregoing, please call me at (202) 303-1262.
Very truly yours,
/s/ David Joire
