Recently we sent you proxy materials regarding the Joint Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Meeting”) that will take place on June 11, 2010. The Funds’ records indicated that we have not received your important vote. The Meeting is being held to ask you to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which both NHS and NOX would be reorganized into a newly formed Maryland corporation, named Neuberger Berman High Yield Strategies Fund Inc. (the “Reorganization”) and to vote on the election of Directors of NOX and Trustees of NHS.
The Boards of NHS and NOX, including all of the Independent Directors
of each Fund, unanimously recommend that you vote
FOR the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and FOR each nominee.
