PROXY STATEMENT

Important Notice Regarding Availability of Proxy Materials for the Stockholder Meeting to Be Held on October 28, 2010. This proxy statement is available atwww.edocumentview.com/lbf_mtg

This Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of DWS Global High Income Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Fund”), for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Fund to be held at the offices of Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc., 27^th Floor, 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154 on Thursday October 28, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time), and at any postponement(s) or adjournment(s) thereof (the “Meeting”).

This Proxy Statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the enclosed proxy card are first being mailed to stockholders on or about October 8, 2010, or as soon as practicable thereafter. Any stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it 1) in person at the Meeting or 2) by submitting a notice of revocation by mail (addressed to the Secretary of the Fund at One Beacon Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02108). Any stockholder giving a proxy may also revoke it by executing or authorizing a later-dated proxy. All properly executed proxies received in time for the Meeting will be voted as specified in the proxy or, if no specification is made, in accordance with the Board’s recommendations as stated in the Proxy Statement. Also, all votes entitled to be cast will be cast in the proxies’ discretion on any other matters as may properly come before the Meeting.

ITEM 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Persons named as proxies on the accompanying proxy card intend, in the absence of contrary instructions, to vote all proxies “FOR” the election of the four nominees indicated in this Item 1 and listed in “Information Concerning the Board’s Nominees” below as Class II Directors of the Fund. If elected, Ms. Jean Gleason Stromberg and Messrs. Keith R. Fox, Kenneth C. Froewiss and Richard J. Herring will each serve on the Board of the Fund until the Fund’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2013 and until his or her respective successor has been duly elected and qualifies or until he or she sooner retires, resigns or is removed from office. All nominees have consented to stand for election and to serve if elected. If any such nominee should be unable to serve, an event not now anticipated, the proxies will be voted for such person, if any, as shall be designated by the Board of Directors of the Fund to replace any such nominee.

The Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for evaluating candidates for membership on the Board and recommending a

proposed slate of nominees for consideration by the full Board. In determining to recommend the nomination of current Directors of the Fund, the Nominating and Governance Committee considered the cost and operational efficiencies realized by having a single consolidated board oversee substantially all DWS funds. The Fund’s Board concluded that the nomination of the current Directors whose terms expire at the Meeting is in the best interests of the Fund because they will fairly and objectively consider the interests of the Fund in determining the future direction of the Fund. See pages 6-8 for discussion of the qualifications of the Board’s Class II nominees, as well as the qualifications of the continuing Directors.The Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote for the election of the Board’s nominees.

Information Concerning the Board’s Nominees

The following table sets forth certain information concerning each of the nominees for Director of the Fund. Each nominee is now a Director of the Fund and of other DWS funds managed by Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. (“DIMA” or the “Investment Manager”). Unless otherwise noted, each of the nominees has engaged in the principal occupation listed in the following table for the past five years, but not necessarily in the same capacity.

As reported to the Fund, Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement sets forth the dollar range of securities beneficially owned and the amount of shares beneficially owned by the Directors and Nominees in the Fund as of September 30, 2010. Under the Board Governance Policies, the Board has established the expectation that within three years of becoming a Director, a Director will have invested in the aggregate at least $200,000 in the DWS funds.

The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for recommending proposed nominees for election to the full Board for its approval. In recommending the election of the current Directors, the Committee generally considered the educational, business and professional experience of each Director in determining his or her qualifications to serve as a Director, including the Director’s record of service as a director or trustee of public and private organizations. In the case of most Directors, this included their many years of previous service as a director or trustee of certain of the DWS funds. This previous service has provided these Directors with a valuable understanding of the history of the DWS funds and the DIMA organization and has also served to demonstrate their high

6

level of diligence and commitment to the interests of Fund stockholders and their ability to work effectively and collegially with other members of the Board. The Committee also considered, among other factors, the particular attributes described below with respect to the Board’s current nominees as well as the other individual Directors:

John W. Ballantine — Mr. Ballantine’s experience in banking, financial risk management and investments acquired in the course of his service as a senior executive of various U.S. and foreign banks.

Keith R. Fox — Mr. Fox’s experience as the chairman and a director of various private operating companies and investment partnerships and his experience as a director and audit committee member of several public companies.

Paul K. Freeman — Dr. Freeman’s professional training and experience as an attorney and an economist, his experience as the founder and chief executive officer of an insurance company, his experience as a senior executive and consultant for various companies focusing on matters relating to risk management and his service on the Independent Directors Council of the Investment Company Institute.

Required Vote; Recommendations of the Board of Directors

The election of each Class II Director under Item 1 requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund’s shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. With respect to Item 1, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have the effect of votes against the applicable nominee(s). If no candidate receives the required vote, the current Class II Directors will continue to serve until the next annual meeting of the Fund and until their respective successors have been elected and qualify.The Board of Directors of the Fund recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” its nominees on the proxy card.

Officers

The officers of the Fund are set forth in Exhibit B hereto.

Compensation of Directors and Officers

Each Independent Director receives compensation from the Fund for his or her services, which includes retainer fees and specified amounts for various committee services and for the Board Chairperson. No additional compensation is paid to any Independent Director for travel time to

8

meetings, attendance at directors’ educational seminars or conferences, service on industry or association committees, participation as speakers at directors’ conferences or service on special fund industry director task forces or subcommittees. Independent Directors do not receive any employee benefits such as pension or retirement benefits or health insurance from the Fund or any fund in the DWS fund complex.

Directors and Fund officers who are officers, directors, employees or stockholders of Deutsche Asset Management or its affiliates receive no direct compensation from the Fund, although they are compensated as employees of Deutsche Asset Management, or its affiliates, and as a result may be deemed to participate in fees paid by the Fund. Deutsche Asset Management is the marketing name in the US for the asset management activities of Deutsche Bank AG, DIMA, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and DWS Trust Company.

Exhibit C to this Proxy Statement sets forth compensation paid to each Independent Director by the Fund for its most recently completed fiscal year and to each Independent Director by the DWS funds complex for the calendar year ended December 31, 2009.

Board Structure

The primary responsibility of the Fund’s Board is to represent the interests of the Fund and to provide oversight of the management of the Fund. If the Class II Director nominees are elected by stockholders, the Board will be comprised of one individual who would be an interested Director, and twelve individuals who would be Independent Directors. SEC rules currently require a majority of the board members of a fund to be “independent” if the fund takes advantage of certain exemptive rules under the 1940 Act. If the Class II Director nominees are elected by stockholders, 92% will be Independent Directors. Each of the Class II Director nominees that will be considered an Independent Director, if elected, has been selected and nominated solely by the current Independent Directors of the Fund.

The Fund’s Board meets multiple times during the year to review investment performance and other operational matters, including regulatory and compliance related policies and procedures. Furthermore, the Independent Directors review the fees paid to the Investment Manager and its affiliates for investment advisory services and other services. The Board has adopted specific policies and guidelines that, among other things, seek to further enhance the effectiveness of the Independent Directors in performing their duties. For example, the Independent Directors select independent legal counsel to work with them in reviewing fees, advisory and other contracts and overseeing fund matters, and regularly meet privately with their counsel. An Independent Director, Dr. Freeman, has served as Chairperson of the Board of the Fund since January 1,

9

2009. He was elected by the other Directors for an initial three year term ending December 31, 2011.

During calendar year 2009, the Board met seven (7) times. Each Director attended at least 75% of the respective meetings of the Board and the Committees (if a member thereof) held during calendar year 2009. The Fund does not have a policy with regard to the Directors’ attendance at annual stockholder meetings.

The Board of the Fund provides a process for stockholders to send communications to the Board. Correspondence should be sent by U.S. mail or courier service to Paul K. Freeman, Independent Chairman, DWS Funds, P.O. Box 101833, Denver, CO80250-1833, who will forward it to a specific Director if addressed to that Director.

Taking into account the number, the diversity and the complexity of the funds overseen by the Directors and the aggregate amount of assets under management in the DWS funds, the Board has determined that the efficient conduct of its affairs makes it desirable to delegate responsibility for certain specific matters to committees of the Board. These committees, which are described in more detail below, review and evaluate matters specified in their charters and make recommendations to the Board as they deem appropriate. Each committee may utilize the resources of the Fund’s counsel and auditors as well as other experts. The committees meet as often as necessary, either in conjunction with regular meetings of the Board or otherwise. The membership and chair of each committee are appointed by the Board upon recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee. The membership and chair of each committee consists exclusively of Independent Directors.

The Board has determined that this committee structure also allows the Board to focus more effectively on the oversight of risk as part of its broader oversight of the Fund’s affairs. While risk management is the primary responsibility of the Fund’s investment adviser, the Board regularly receives reports regarding investment risks and compliance risks. The Board’s committee structure allows separate committees to focus on different aspects of these risks and their potential impact on some or all of the DWS funds and to discuss with the Fund’s investment adviser and administrator how it monitors and controls such risks.

The Board of the Fund has established the following standing committees: Audit Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee, Contract Committee, Fixed-Income and Quant Oversight Committee and Operations Committee (each a “Committee”). The Board also has an Equity Oversight Committee which has no responsibility with respect to the Fund. For each Committee, a written charter setting forth the Committee’s responsibilities was adopted by the Board. The function, membership and

10

number of meetings held in calendar year 2009 for each Committee is discussed below. All Committee members are Independent Directors.

Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee, which consists entirely of Independent Directors, assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of (1) the integrity of the financial statements, (2) the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and procedures, (3) the Fund’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements related to accounting and financial reporting and (4) the qualifications, independence and performance of the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund. It also approves and recommends to the Board the appointment, retention or termination of the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund, reviews the scope of audit and internal controls, considers and reports to the Board on matters relating to the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting practices, and performs such other tasks as the full Board deems necessary or appropriate. The Audit Committee receives annual representations from the independent registered public accounting firm as to its independence. The Fund’s Audit Committee is governed by the Audit Committee Charter, which is available athttps://www.dws-investments.com/EN/docs/products/Audit_Committee_
Charter.pdf. The Fund’s Audit Committee is comprised of only Independent Directors who are “independent” as defined in the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) listing standards applicable to closed-end funds. During the calendar year 2009, the Audit Committee of the Fund’s Board held nine (9) meetings.

For the 2009 fiscal year, the Fund’s Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management. The Fund’s Audit Committee also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114 (The Auditor’s Communications With Those Charged With Governance). The Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm provided the Fund’s Audit Committee the written disclosure required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Rule 3526 (Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence), and the Fund’s Audit Committee discussed with representatives of the independent registered public accounting firm their firm’s independence, including the matters described on page 15. Based on its review of the Fund’s financial statements and discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm and other written disclosure provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, the Fund’s Audit Committee recommended to the Fund’s Board that the audited financial statements be included in the annual

report provided to stockholders for the Fund’s 2009 fiscal year. The current members of the Fund’s Audit Committee are:

Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee, which consists entirely of Independent Directors, recommends individuals for membership on the Board, nominates officers, Board and committee chairs, vice chairs and committee members, and oversees the operations of the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee has not established specific, minimum qualifications that must be met by an individual to be considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee for nomination as a Director. The Nominating and Governance Committee may take into account a wide variety of factors in considering Director candidates, including, but not limited to: (i) availability and commitment of a candidate to attend meetings and perform his or her responsibilities to the Board, (ii) relevant industry and related experience, (iii) educational background, (iv) financial expertise, (v) an assessment of the candidate’s ability, judgment and expertise, and (vi) the current composition of the Board. The Committee generally believes that the Board benefits from diversity of background, experience and views among its members, and considers this as a factor in evaluating the composition of the Board, but has not adopted any specific policy in this regard. The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews recommendations by stockholders for candidates for Board positions on the same basis as candidates recommended by other sources. Stockholders may recommend candidates for Board positions by forwarding their correspondence by U.S. mail or courier service to Paul K. Freeman, Independent Chairman, DWS Funds, P.O. Box 101833, Denver,CO 80250-1833. The members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are Henry P. Becton, Jr. (Chair), Rebecca W. Rimel (Vice Chair), Paul K. Freeman and William McClayton. During the calendar year 2009, the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Fund’s Board held seven (7) meetings. A copy of the Fund’s Nominating and Governance Committee Charter is available at https://www.dws-investments.com/EN/docs/products/Nominating_and_Governance_Committee.pdf.

Contract Committee. The Contract Committee, which consists entirely of Independent Directors, reviews at least annually, (a) the Fund’s financial arrangements with DIMA and its affiliates, and (b) the Fund’s expense ratios.

Fixed Income and Quant Oversight Committee. The Fixed Income and Quant Oversight Committee reviews the investment operations of those funds that primarily invest in fixed-income securities or are managed by a quantitative investment team. The members of the Fixed Income and Quant Oversight Committee are William N. Searcy, Jr. (Chair), Jean Gleason Stromberg (Vice Chair), Dawn-Marie Driscoll, Kenneth C. Froewiss and Robert H. Wadsworth. During the calendar year 2009, the Fixed Income and Quant Oversight Committee of the Fund’s Board held six (6) meetings.

Operations Committee. The Operations Committee reviews the administrative operations and general compliance matters of the Fund. The Operations Committee reviews administrative matters related to the operations of the Fund, policies and procedures relating to portfolio transactions, custody arrangements, fidelity bond and insurance arrangements, valuation of Fund assets and securities and such other tasks as the full Board deems necessary or appropriate. The Operations Committee also oversees the valuation of the Fund’s securities and other assets and determines, as needed, the fair value of Fund securities or other assets under certain circumstances as described in the Fund’s Valuation Procedures. The Operations Committee has appointed a ValuationSub-Committee, which may make determinations of fair value required when the Operations Committee is not in session. The members of the Operations Committee are Dawn-Marie Driscoll (Chair), John W. Ballantine (Vice Chair), Rebecca W. Rimel, Jean Gleason Stromberg and Robert H. Wadsworth. The members of the ValuationSub-Committee are John W. Ballantine, Robert H. Wadsworth, Dawn-Marie Driscoll (Alternate), Rebecca W. Rimel (Alternate) and Jean Gleason Stromberg (Alternate). During the calendar year 2009, the Operations Committee held six (6) meetings and the ValuationSub-Committee did not meet.

Ad Hoc Committees. In addition to the standing committees described above, from time to time the Board may also form ad hoc committees to consider specific issues.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board, including the Independent Directors, has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) to act as independent registered public accounting firm to audit the books and records of the Fund for the current fiscal year. PwC has served the Fund in this capacity since the Fund was organized and has no direct or indirect financial interest in the Fund except as the independent registered public accounting firm.

The following table shows the amount of fees that PwC billed to (i) the Fund during the Fund’s last two fiscal years; and (ii) DIMA and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with DIMA

13

(collectively, the “DIMA Entities”) that provides ongoing services to the Fund, for engagements directly related to the Fund’s operations and financial reporting, during the Fund’s last two fiscal years. The Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that PwC provided to the Fund.

The Audit Committee pre-approved all non-audit services that PwC provided to the DIMA Entities that related directly to the Fund’s operations and financial reporting. The Audit Committee requested and received information from PwC about any non-audit services that PwC rendered during the Fund’s last fiscal year to the DIMA Entities.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.  Generally, the Fund’s Audit Committee must pre-approve (i) all services to be performed for the Fund by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm and (ii) all non-audit services to be performed by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the DIMA Entities with respect to operations and financial reporting of the Fund, except that the Chairperson or Vice Chairperson of the Fund’s Audit Committee may grant the pre-approval for non-audit services described in items (i) and (ii) above for non-prohibited services for engagements of less than $100,000. All such delegated pre-approvals shall be presented to the Fund’s Audit Committee no later than the next Audit Committee meeting.

There were no amounts that were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception underRule 2-01 ofRegulation S-X.

According to Fund’s principal Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, all of the principal Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm’s hours spent on auditing the Fund’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

PwC advised the Fund’s Audit Committee that PwC has identified two matters that it determined to be inconsistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules. In the first instance, an employee of PwC had power of attorney over an account which included DWS funds. The employee did not perform any audit services for the DWS Funds, but did work on a non audit project for Deutsche Bank AG. In the second instance, an employee of PwC served as a nominee shareholder (effectively equivalent to a Trustee) of various companies/trusts since 2001. Some of these companies held shares of Aberdeen, asub- advisor to certain DWS Funds, and of certain funds sponsored by subsidiaries of Deutsche Bank AG. The trustee relationship has ceased. PwC informed the Audit Committee that these matters could have constituted an investment in an affiliate of an audit client in violation of theRule 2-01(c)(1) ofRegulation S-X. PwC advised the Audit Committee that PwC believes its independence had not been impacted as it related to the audits of the Fund. In reaching this conclusion, PwC noted that during the time of its audit, the engagement team was not aware of the investment and that PwC does not believe these situations affected PwC’s ability to act objectively and impartially and to issue a report on financial statements as the funds’ independent auditor.

Representatives of PwC are not expected to be present at the Meeting.

Audit Committee Report for DWS Global High Income Fund, Inc.

The Audit Committee of the Fund has provided the following report:

In connection with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended October 31, 2009 included in the Fund’s Annual Report (the

15

“Annual Report”), at a meeting held on December 17, 2009, the Audit Committee considered and discussed the audited financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and discussed the audit of such financial statements with the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114 (The Auditor’s Communications With Those Charged With Governance), as amended. The independent registered public accounting firm provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosure and the letter required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Rule 3526 (Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence) and the Audit Committee discussed with representatives of the independent registered public accounting firm their firm’s independence.

The members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not employed by the Fund for accounting, financial management or internal control. Moreover, the Audit Committee relies on and makes no independent verification of the facts presented to it or representations made by management or the independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, the Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or policies, or internal controls and procedures, designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions referred to above do not provide assurance that the audit of the Fund’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or that the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Based on its consideration of the audited financial statements and the discussions referred to above with management and the independent registered public accounting firm and subject to the limitation on the responsibilities and role of the Audit Committee set forth in the Audit Committee Charter and those discussed above, the Audit Committee of the Fund recommended to the Board of Directors of the Fund that the audited financial statements be included in the Fund’s Annual Report.

Submitted by the Audit Committee of the Fund’s Board of Directors. For the period covered by this report, the Audit Committee of the Fund was comprised of: John W. Ballantine, Henry P. Becton, Jr., Keith R. Fox, Kenneth C. Froewiss, William McClayton and William N. Searcy, Jr.

Additional Information

Quorum and Required Vote.  Proxies are being solicited from the Fund’s stockholders by the Fund’s Board for the Meeting. Unless revoked, all valid proxies will be voted in accordance with the specification thereon or, in the absence of specification, FOR the election of all Class II Director nominees, and as the persons named in the proxy determine on such other business as may come before the Meeting. In case any Class II Director nominee shall be unable or shall fail to act as a Director by virtue of an unexpected occurrence, persons named as proxies will vote in their discretion for such other nominee or nominees as the current Directors may recommend. Stockholders who execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted, either by writing to the Fund or in person at the time of the Meeting. The presence at the Meeting of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting constitutes a quorum for the Meeting.

Whether or not a quorum is present, the Meeting of the Fund may be adjourned from time to time (with respect to any one or more matters) by the chairman of the Meeting without notice other than announcement at the Meeting at which the adjournment is taken. In addition, upon motion of the chairman of the Meeting, the question of adjournment may be submitted to a vote of the stockholders, and, in any such case, any adjournment with respect to one or more matters must be approved by the vote of holders of a majority of the shares of stock present and entitled to vote with respect to the matter or matters adjourned, and without further notice other than announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. On any adjournment put to a stockholder vote, the persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card will exercise their best judgment to vote as they deem to be in the best interest of stockholders. Unless a proxy is otherwise limited in this regard, any shares of stock present and entitled to vote at the Meeting that are represented by broker non-votes, may, at the discretion of the proxies named therein, be voted in favor of such an adjournment. Adjournment will subject the Fund to additional expenses. An adjournment may not extend beyond a date 120 days after the Record Date (defined below). The Inspectors of Election will count shares represented by proxies that reflect “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or the persons entitled to vote, and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have the discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

Each whole share is entitled to one vote and each fractional share is entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. Item 1 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against the Item.

17

Record Date and Method of Tabulation.  Stockholders of record at the close of business on August 13, 2010 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. As of the Record Date, shares of the Fund were issued and outstanding as follows:

	Shares
Fund Name	Outstanding
DWS Global High Income Fund, Inc.		9,910,619.36

Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be counted by persons appointed by the Fund as Inspectors of Election for the Meeting.

Share Ownership.  As of August 13, 2010, the Fund knows of no person who owns more than 5% of any of the outstanding shares of a class of the Fund, except as follows:

	Amount of Shares		Percentage
Stockholder Name and Address	Owned		Owned
Western Investment LLC(1) 7050 South Union Park Center Suite 590 Midvale, Utah 84047		804,078		8.1	%

(1)	This information is based exclusively on information provided by such entity on Schedule 13D/A filed with respect to the Fund on June 28, 2010 and on Schedule 14A filed on July 30, 2010. As members of a group for the purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Western Investment LLC, Arthur D. Lipson, Western Investment Hedged Partners L.P., Western Investment Total Return Partners L.P., Western Investment Activism Partners L.L.C., Robert H. Daniels, Gregory R. Dube and Neil Chelo may be deemed to beneficially own the 804,078 shares owned in the aggregate by the group constituting approximately 8.1% of the Fund’s outstanding shares.
(2)	This information based exclusively on information provided by such entity on Schedule 13G filed with respect to the Fund on February 3, 2010.
(3)	This information based exclusively on information provided by such entity on Schedule 13G filed with respect to the Fund on January 22, 2010.

Except as noted in Exhibit A, no Director nor the Fund’s principal executive officer or principal financial officer owned shares of the Fund.

Proxy Costs and Solicitation of Proxies.  In addition to solicitations made by mail, solicitations also may be made by telephone, through the Internet or in person by officers or employees of the Fund and by certain financial services firms and their representatives, who will receive no extra compensation for their services. Georgeson Inc. has been engaged to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Fund at an estimated cost of $6,000 plus reimbursement ofout-of-pocket expenses.

However, the exact cost will depend on the amount and types of services rendered. If the stockholders record votes by telephone or through the Internet, the proxy solicitor will use procedures designed to authenticate stockholders’ identities, to allow stockholders to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their instructions and to allow stockholders to confirm that their instructions have been recorded properly.

If a stockholder wishes to participate in the Meeting, but does not wish to give a proxy by telephone or via the Internet, the stockholder still may submit the Proxy Card originally sent with the Proxy Statement or attend the Meeting in person. Should stockholders require additional information regarding the proxy or a replacement Proxy Card, they may contact Georgeson Inc. toll-free at 1-866-628-6123. Any proxy given by a stockholder is revocable until voted at the Meeting.

As the Meeting date approaches, certain stockholders of a Fund may receive a telephone call from a representative of Georgeson Inc. if their votes have not yet been received.

Persons holding shares as nominees will, upon request, be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses in soliciting instructions from their principals. The Fund will pay the costs of solicitation, including (a) the printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials, (b) the reimbursement of brokerage firms and others for their expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the Fund’s shares, (c) payment to Georgeson Inc. for its services in soliciting proxies and (d) supplementary solicitations to submit proxies.

One Proxy Statement may be delivered to two or more stockholders of the Fund who share an address, unless the Fund has received instructions to the contrary. To request a separate copy of the Proxy Statement, which will be delivered upon written or oral request, or for instructions as to how to request a single copy if multiple copies are received, stockholders should call800-349-4281 or write to the Fund at 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154.

Revocation of Proxies.  Proxies, including proxies given by telephone or via the Internet, may be revoked at any time before they are voted either (i) by a written revocation received by the Secretary of the Fund at One Beacon Street, Boston, MA 02108, (ii) by properly submitting a later-dated Proxy Card that is received by the Fund at or prior to the Meeting or

19

(iii) by attending the Meeting and voting in person. Merely attending the Meeting without voting, however, will not revoke a proxy previously given.

Section 16 Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.  Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act and Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 require the Fund’s officers and Directors, DIMA, affiliated persons of DIMA and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Fund’s equity securities to file forms reporting their affiliation with the Fund and reports of ownership and changes in ownership of the Fund’s shares with the SEC. These persons and entities are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Fund with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon its review of the copies of such forms received by it, and written representations from certain reporting persons that no year-end reports were required for those persons, the Fund believes that during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, all filings were timely.
