UNDERWRITERS EXERCISE OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION
New York, NY - March 9, 2007 - NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) (NASDAQ: QQQX) announced today that it has closed on the underwriters’ overallotment option in connection with its previously announced common stock offering. The underwriters exercised their option to purchase 1,450,000 common shares, representing a portion of their total option. The gross proceeds to the Fund from the exercise of the option were $27,695,000, which was received by the Fund on March 9, 2007. The total gross proceeds from the offering, including the initial public offering and the over-allotment, were $347,620,000.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide stockholders with premium income and capital appreciation. The Fund pursues its investment objective principally through a two-part strategy. First, the Fund invests, under normal circumstances, substantially all of its net assets in a portfolio of investments designed to closely track the performance over time, before fees and expenses, of the Nasdaq 100 Index®. Second, the Fund uses certain option strategies, primarily consisting of writing (selling) Nasdaq 100 Index® call options, to generate premium income and reduce the volatility of the Fund’s returns, with the intent of improving the Fund’s risk adjusted returns. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective or be able to structure its investments as anticipated. The Fund is not intended as a complete investment program.
This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy shares of common stock of the Fund. The offering of these securities will be made only by means of a prospectus.
