JERSEY CITY, NJ, November 23, 2010 – SunAmerica Focused Alpha Large-Cap Fund, Inc. (NYSE: FGI) (the “Fund”) announced today that in accordance with its in-kind tender offer (the “Offer”) to acquire up to 25% of its outstanding shares of common stock, which expired at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday, November 18, 2010, the Fund has accepted 2,413,809 properly tendered shares, representing 25% of the Fund’s outstanding shares of common stock, at a price per share of $16.64 (the “Purchase Price”), which is equal to 98.5% of the Fund’s net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on November 19, 2010. The total value of the assets of the Fund to be distributed in payment for such properly tendered shares accepted in the Offer based on the Purchase Price is $40,165,782.
7,244,050 shares, or 75% of the Fund’s outstanding shares of common stock, were tendered and not withdrawn in response to the Offer. Because the number of shares tendered exceeded 25% of the Fund’s outstanding shares of common stock, the Fund will purchase tendered shares on apro rata basis. Accordingly, on a pro rata basis, approximately 33.3% of the shares properly tendered by each participating shareholder has been accepted for payment.

The market value of each of these portfolio securities may increase or decrease before the actual receipt by shareholders of such portfolio securities. The Fund will pay cash in lieu of any fractional share of a portfolio security that is not distributed due to rounding. In addition, the Fund will pay cash in lieu of delivering fewer than 100 shares of a portfolio security to any participating shareholder. The Fund delivered the distributable assets on November 22, 2010 to brokers whose customers tendered shares in the Offer.
The Offer referred to in this announcement was made only by an Offer Notice, a related Letter of Transmittal and other documents which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as exhibits to a tender offer statement on Schedule TO. Shareholders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisers regarding the tax consequences of participating in the Offer.
