| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. On March 20, 2015, Boulder Total Return Fund, Inc. ("BTF"), The Denali Fund Inc. ("DNY") and First Opportunity Fund, Inc. ("FOFI") reorganized into Boulder Growth & Income Fund, Inc. ("BIF") (the "Reorganization") pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of March 5, 2015 (the "Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, BIF acquired all of the assets and liabilities of BTF, DNY and FOFI in exchange for common shares of BIF (the "BIF Shares"). |
| 2. The Reorganization occurred based on the relative net asset values ("NAV") of BIF, BTF, DNY and FOFI as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on March 20, 2015. At such time, BIF reported net assets of $273,608,352.67 and a NAV per share of $10.73; BTF reported net assets of $413,286,769.95 and a NAV per share of $33.50. Holders of BTF shares received 3.121182 BIF Shares for each BTF share owned. Fractional shares were paid in cash. |
| 3. In connection with the Reorganization, Richard I. Barr received 18,775 BIF Shares (and cash for fractional shares, if any) for his 6,016 shares of BTF. |
| Remarks: |
| This Form 4/A (this "Amendment") is being filed by the Reporting Person to amend and restate in its entirety the Form 4 originally filed by the Reporting Person with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2015 (the "Original Form 4"). This Amendment revises the Original Form 4 by (i) correcting the transaction code in Column 3 of Table I to reflect that the disposition of shares was an exempt transaction under Rule 16b-3(e) and not an open market or private sale of non-derivative or derivative security and (ii) amending the footnotes to provide more adequate disclosure of the Reorganization. |
