Dear Stockholder:

In May, we mailed you a proxy statement requesting your vote on proposals that affect your investments in Neuberger Berman High Yield Strategies Fund (NYSE: NHS) and/or Neuberger Berman Income Opportunity Fund Inc. (NYSE Amex: NOX).  Our records indicate that we have not yet received your vote.

The joint annual stockholder meeting which was scheduled for June 11, 2010 has been adjourned with respect to the proposal to reorganize the Funds into a newly formed fund.  While most of the shares that have been voted have voted FOR the proposal the Funds have not yet received a sufficient number of affirmative votes to approve the proposal.

The adjourned meeting will be held on July 1, 2010, at 2:30p.m. Eastern Time.

The Boards of NHS and NOX, including all of the Independent Directors of each Fund,

unanimously recommend that you vote FOR the Proposed Reorganization.

The proposed Reorganization could provide stockholders with certain benefits, including:

-   the potential for lower operating costs;

-   enhanced market liquidity for shares of the new fund; and

-   increased portfolio management efficiencies and greater diversification of portfolio holdings.

Please take a moment to vote today. Remember that further solicitations increase the costs borne by all stockholders.

You can vote by returning the enclosed proxy card in the envelope provided, by calling the toll-free number on the card, or by visiting the website listed on the card.

If you have any questions or need more information, please call our proxy information line at 1-866-615-7264 or contact your financial representative.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Robert Conti

President
