• | Legg Mason becomes a singularly focused, more profitable and certainly more influential organization within the global asset management community1 |
• | Legg Mason becomes the 5th largest manager of mutual funds in the United States1 |
• | Legg Mason’s equity fund platform gains a number of large-cap growth and large-cap core funds and well regarded managers to complement Legg Mason’s existing strength across value, blend and small-cap asset classes |

Citigroup Asset Management [Logo] | — Page 7 |
Board | Considerations in Approving New Agreements |
• | Among other things, the Board Members considered the following when approving the New Management Agreements and New Subadvisory Agreements: |
• | The reputation, financial strength and resources of Legg Mason and its investment advisory subsidiaries (including Western Asset); |
• | There is not expected to be any diminution in the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Funds and their shareholders by the Advisers, including compliance services |
• | The potential benefits to Fund shareholders from being part of a combined fund family with Legg Mason-sponsored funds, including possible economies of scale and access to investment opportunities |
• | The fact that each Fund’s total advisory and administrative fees will not increase by virtue of the New Management Agreements, but will remain the same |
Citigroup Asset Management [Logo] | — Page 8 |
Board Considerations in Approving New Agreements |
• | Assurances from Citigroup and Legg Mason that, for a three year period following the closing of the Transaction, the Advisers will have substantially the same access to the Citigroup sales force when distributing shares of the Funds |
• | The Funds would not bear the costs of obtaining shareholder approval of the New Management Agreements |
Citigroup Asset Management [Logo] | — Page 9 |
Election of Directors |
• | Open–end mutual funds only |
• | Experienced Directors |
• | Closed-end funds elect directors at regularly scheduled annual meetings |
Citigroup Asset Management [Logo] | — Page 10 |
• | Independence of Board – All Boards have only one interested Director. All other Directors are independent. |
• | Each Fund has an Independent Audit Committee & Nominating/Governance Committee |
• | Independent Directors meet regularly in executive sessions with counsel to the Independent Directors |
• | Independent Directors separately reviewed and unanimously approved the new management and subadvisory agreements |

Dissident Proxy Fights – Closed End Funds |
• | Dissident Objectives |
• | Side-show issue: Dissidents are focusing on issue that lacks relevance to purpose of Special Meeting |
• | Asking shareholders to vote against long-term interests of shareholders and approval of new management agreement |
• | Opportunistic proxy fights centered on “discounts” |
• | Focusing on the interests of short-term shareholders only |
• | Closed-end Funds frequently trade at a discount, these funds are not unique |
• | Taking advantage of need for shareholder approval to reap short-term windfall for minority group |
Citigroup Asset Management [Logo] | — Page 12 |
Dissident Proxy Fights – Closed End Funds |
• | Board Objectives |
• | Focused on the interests ofallshareholders |
• | The Boards review and evaluate issues surrounding discounts at least quarterly : |
• | Reviewed various “solutions” to the discount problem |
• | Instituted share repurchase plans for some funds (SBF, SCD) |
• | DRIP Plans repurchase shares at certain levels |
• | Believe that closed-end fund structure is beneficial to shareholders |

Important Notes
• | Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering, and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of a closed-end fund’s shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the fund. Therefore, the funds cannot predict whether their shares will trade at, below or above net asset value. |
• | Past performance does not guarantee or predict future performance. The funds described in this presentation are not appropriate for everyone. An interested party must make his or her own independent legal, tax, accounting and financial evaluation of their merits and risks. |
• | Fund shares are not FDIC-insured and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any bank. Fund shares involve investment risk, including possible loss of principal. |

Investors of the Funds are urged to read the proxy statement as it contains important information about the Funds. Investors and shareholders may obtain a free copy of the proxy statements at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. |
