Dear Shareholder:
The Special Meeting of Shareholders of Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) is just a few weeks away. At the meeting, you are being asked to vote to approve a new management agreement for your Fund with your Fund’s current investment adviser, Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc (“SBAM”).
YOUR VOTE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
As you are aware, the Fund is currently operating under an interim management agreement that will terminate automatically on April 29, 2006. Under rules promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may not extend the current interim agreement or enter into a new agreement with SBAM beyond that date without shareholder approval. Your vote today helps ensure that the management of the Fund will continue uninterrupted.
VOTE NOW IN FAVOR OF THE NEW MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
If the new management agreement is approved, the Fund has agreed to conduct up to five partial tender offers under certain circumstances, the first such tender to commence before June 30, 2006. Pursuant to these tenders, the Fund would purchase a portion of its shares at 98% of net asset value, providing Fund shareholders the opportunity to receive near net asset value for a portion of their shares. Your vote today increases the possibility that the Fund will conduct these tender offers.
We ask you to sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card TODAY or vote using the toll-free number on the enclosed proxy card or through the Internet.
Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, and regardless of the number of shares you own, your Board urges you to vote FOR the new management agreement. Time is running short, so please vote today.
