GLOBAL PARTNERS INCOME FUND INC. MUNICIPAL ADVANTAGE FUND INC. MUNICIPAL PARTNERS FUND INC. MUNICIPAL PARTNERS FUND II INC. January __, 2000 Dear Stockholder: We are pleased to enclose the notice and proxy statement for the Special Meetings of Stockholders (the "Special Meetings") of The Emerging Markets Income Fund II Inc, The Emerging Markets Floating Rate Fund Inc., Municipal Partners Fund Inc. and Municipal Partners Fund II Inc. and for the Annual Meetings of Stockholders of The Emerging Markets Income Fund Inc, Global Partners Income Fund Inc. and Municipal Advantage Fund Inc. (the "Annual Meetings", and together with the "Special Meetings", the "Meetings") to be held on February 24, 2000. Each fund is referred to in this notice and proxy statement as a "Fund", and collectively, as the "Funds". As you may know, on October 31, 1999, PIMCO Advisors L.P. ("PIMCO Advisors"), its general partners, PIMCO Advisors Holdings L.P. and PIMCO Partners G.P., certain of their affiliates, Allianz of America, Inc. ("Allianz of America") and certain other parties named therein, entered into an Implementation and Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which Allianz of America agreed to acquire majority ownership of PIMCO Advisors. At the Meetings, stockholders of each Fund will be asked to approve one or more new management or advisory agreements, which will be identical to the existing agreements with that Fund, to be in effect following such acquisition. Approval of the new agreements is necessary because the closing of the acquisition could be deemed to result in the termination of the existing agreements pursuant to the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940. In addition, stockholders of The Emerging Markets Income Fund Inc, Global Partners Income Fund Inc. and Municipal Advantage Fund Inc. will be asked to vote on the election of directors and to ratify the selection of independent accountants. It is important to keep in mind that Allianz of America is acquiring control of PIMCO Advisors, not the Funds. Your Fund shares and the management or advisory fees charged each Fund will not change as a result of the acquisition. Moreover, Allianz of America has advised each Fund's Board of Directors, that following the acquisition, PIMCO Advisors will continue to provide the high-quality services to which you have grown accustomed. The acquisition does not involve Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc ("SBAM"), which serves as investment adviser or manager to all of the Funds except Municipal Advantage Fund Inc. However, because PIMCO Advisors is a party to the current agreements between SBAM and certain of the Funds on the one hand, and between OpCap Advisors ("OpCap") and certain of the Funds on the other hand, stockholders of those Funds are being asked to consider new agreements with SBAM and OpCap. Because the Funds are affected similarly by the acquisition, each Fund's Board of Directors determined it would be most efficient to prepare a single combined notice and proxy statement which has been sent to the stockholders of all of the Funds. Further information relating to each Fund is contained in a separate exhibit, which is an important part of the proxy statement. If you are a stockholder of more than one Fund, you will receive the combined notice of meetings, proxy statement and proxy card for each such Fund. Each Fund votes separately, so please sign and return all of your proxy cards if you are a stockholder of more than one Fund. Please note that you are not being asked to vote on every proposal included in the proxy statement. The enclosed notice of meetings describes which Funds' stockholders are being asked to vote on each proposal, and the enclosed proxy cards provide for voting only with respect to the proposals relating to the Funds in which you are a shareholder. After careful consideration, each Fund's Board of Directors, including its independent directors, approved the proposals relating to such Fund and recommends that its stockholders vote "FOR" each such proposal. We urge you to review the enclosed materials for all of the details on the proposals described above. It is very important that you complete and return the enclosed proxy card(s). We thought it would be helpful to provide the following questions and answers regarding the acquisition and the related proposals. They are designed to help answer questions you may have and help you cast your votes, and are being provided as a supplement to, not a substitute for, the proxy statement, which we urge you to review carefully. Please feel free to call the proxy solicitor, D.F. King & Co., Inc., at 1-800-735-3568 to answer any questions you may have regarding the voting of your shares. Please do not hesitate to call 1-800-[ ] with any questions regarding the acquisition or other matters. If we have not received your proxy card(s) prior to the date of the Meetings, you may -2- receive a telephone call from D.F. King & Co., Inc. encouraging you to exercise your right to vote. As always, we thank you for your confidence and support. Sincerely, The Chairmen of the Boards and Presidents of: THE EMERGING MARKETS INCOME FUND INC THE EMERGING MARKETS INCOME FUND II INC THE EMERGING MARKETS FLOATING RATE FUND INC. GLOBAL PARTNERS INCOME FUND INC. MUNICIPAL ADVANTAGE FUND INC. MUNICIPAL PARTNERS FUND INC. MUNICIPAL PARTNERS FUND II INC. -3- QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Q. WHO IS BEING ACQUIRED IN THE ACQUISITION? A. Allianz of America has agreed to acquire approximately 70% of the outstanding partnership interests in PIMCO Advisors. The Funds themselves are not being acquired. Q. WHY AM I BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON THESE PROPOSALS? A. Pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, consummation of the acquisition will cause the automatic termination of each of the current management or investment advisory agreements with PIMCO Advisors and each of the current investment advisory agreements among PIMCO, SBAM and OpCap Advisors, respectively. Therefore, in order to ensure continuity of management, stockholders are being asked to approve sub- stantially similar new agreements with PIMCO Advisors, OpCap Advisors and SBAM. Q. HOW WILL THE ACQUISITION AFFECT ME AS A FUND STOCKHOLDER? A. Your Fund shares and the fees charged each Fund will not change as a result of the acquisition. Moreover, Allianz of America has advised each Fund's Board that PIMCO Advisors will continue following the acquisition to provide the high-quality services to which you've grown accustomed. Consequently, management of each Fund believes that the acquisition will not adversely affect the operations of the Fund. Q. HOW DO THE BOARDS RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE? A. After careful consideration, each Fund's Board of Directors, including its independent directors, recommends that stockholders vote "FOR" each of the proposals relating to such Fund on the enclosed proxy card(s) and with respect to the Funds holding annual meetings, "FOR" the election of directors. Q. WHOM DO I CALL IF I HAVE QUESTIONS? A. Please feel free to call the proxy solicitor, D.F. King & Co., Inc., at 1-800-735-3568 to answer any questions you may have regarding the voting of your shares, and please feel free to call 1-800-[ - ] with any questions regarding the acquisition or other matters. -1- PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD(S) IN THE POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE.

MUNICIPAL PARTNERS FUND II INC. ______________________ COMBINED PROXY STATEMENT MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS This combined proxy statement is furnished in connection with a solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of each of the above funds (each, a "Fund" and, collectively, the "Funds"), to be used at meetings of stockholders (in each case, the "Meeting", and, collectively, the "Meetings") of the Funds and any adjournment(s) thereof. The Meetings will be held on February 24, 2000. The Meeting of Municipal Advantage Fund Inc. will be held at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York on the __th Floor at 10:00 a.m. Each other Meeting will be held at 7 World Trade Center, New York, New York in the Downtown Conference Center at the following times: 10:00 a.m. for The Emerging Markets Income Fund Inc, 10:30 a.m. for Global Partners Income Fund Inc, 11:00 a.m. for The Emerging Markets Income Fund II Inc, 11:20 a.m. for the Emerging Markets Floating Rate Fund Inc., 11:40 a.m. for Municipal Partners Fund Inc., and 12:00 p.m. for Municipal Partners Fund II Inc. This proxy statement and the accompanying form of proxy are first being mailed to stockholders on or about January __, 2000. The primary purpose of the Meetings is to permit each Fund's stockholders to consider one or more new management and/or investment advisory agreements to take effect upon consummation of a series of transactions contemplated by the Implementation and Merger Agreement (the "Transaction"), dated as of October 31, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among PIMCO Advisors L.P. ("PIMCO Advisors"), its general partners, PIMCO Advisors Holdings L.P. ("PAH") and PIMCO Partners G.P. ("Partners GP"), certain of their affiliates, Allianz of America, Inc. ("Allianz of America") and certain other parties named therein. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Allianz of America will acquire approximately 70% of the outstanding partnership interests in PIMCO Advisors. For a discussion of the Transaction, see "The Transaction" under Proposal 1 below. Pursuant to the terms of each Fund's management or investment advisory agreement currently in place with PIMCO advisors and the relevant provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), consummation of the Transaction will cause the automatic termination of such agreements. Therefore, in order to ensure continuity in the management of the Funds, stockholders of each Fund are being asked to approve a new investment management or advisory agreement with PIMCO Advisors. Moreover, since PIMCO Advisors is a party to the investment -1- advisory and administration agreement with each SBAM Fund (as defined on page __) and Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc ("SBAM"), which serves as investment adviser and administrator to each SBAM Fund, at the time of consummation of the Transaction, stockholders of each SBAM Fund are being asked to approve a new investment advisory and administration agreement with PIMCO Advisors and SBAM so that SBAM may continue to serve as investment adviser and administrator to each SBAM Fund. Similarly, since PIMCO Advisors is a party to the investment advisory and administration agreement with Municipal Advantage Fund Inc. and OpCap Advisors ("OpCap"), a subsidiary of PIMCO Advisors which serves as investment adviser and administrator to this Fund, stockholders of this Fund are being asked to approve a new advisory agreement with PIMCO Advisors and OpCap so that OpCap may continue to serve as investment adviser and administrator to this Fund. In addition, the Meeting will serve as the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of The Emerging Markets Income Fund Inc, Global Partners Income Fund Inc. and Municipal Advantage Fund Inc. and such stockholders also are being asked to vote on the election of directors for the respective Funds and ratify the selection of the Funds' respective independent accountants. Stockholders who execute proxies retain the right to revoke them in person at the relevant Meeting or by written notice received by the Secretary of the relevant Fund at any time before they are voted. Unrevoked proxies will be voted in accordance with the specifications thereon and, unless specified to the contrary, will be voted "FOR" each of the proposals set forth below (each, a "Proposal" and, collectively, the "Proposals"). The close of business on December 30, 1999, has been fixed as the record date (the "Record Date") for the determination of stockholders of each Fund entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the relevant Meeting and any adjournment(s) thereof. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each full share (and a fractional vote for each fractional share) held of record on the Record Date, with no shares having cumulative voting rights. On the Record Date, each Fund had outstanding the number of shares indicated in the separate fund exhibit pertaining to the Funds (the "Fund Exhibit") accompanying as Exhibit A to, and forming an important part of, this proxy statement. Stockholders of each Fund may vote only on those Proposals affecting their Fund, and stockholders of each Fund will vote separately on each such Proposal from stockholders of the other Funds voting on such Proposal. All of the outstanding capital stock of each Fund will vote together as a single class with respect to each Proposal. The Proposals are to be voted upon by stockholders of the Funds as follows: -2- Proposals Funds to Which Each Proposal Applies --------- ------------------------------------ 1. Approval of a new investment All Funds. management or advisory agreement between PIMCO Advisors and the Fund. 2. Approval of a new investment The Emerging Markets Income Fund II advisory and administration Inc, The Emerging Markets Floating Rate agreement among PIMCO Advisors, Fund Inc., Global Partners Income Fund SBAM and the Fund.

Ratification of the selection of The Emerging Markets Income Fund Inc, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Global Partners Income Fund Inc. independent accountants of and Municipal Advantage Fund Inc. the Fund. Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes (reflected by signed but unvoted proxies), as defined below, do not count as votes cast with respect to any Proposal. With respect to a Proposal requiring the affirmative vote of a majority of a Fund's outstanding shares of capital stock, the effect of abstentions and Broker Non-Votes is the same as a vote against the Proposal. Otherwise, abstentions and Broker Non-Votes have no effect on the outcome of a Proposal. "Broker Non-Votes" are shares held in the name of a broker or nominee for which an executed proxy is received by a Fund, but are not voted on the Proposal because voting instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power. In accordance with each Fund's By-Laws, a quorum is constituted by the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting. In the event that a quorum is not present at the Meeting of any Fund, or in the event that a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve any of the Proposals to be acted on at the Meeting are not received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to a date not more than 120 days after the Record Date to permit further solicitation of proxies and without establishing a new Record Date. Any adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares present at the relevant Meeting in person or by proxy. The persons named as proxies will vote those proxies which they are entitled to vote FOR or AGAINST any adjournment proposal in their discretion. A stockholder vote may be taken on one or more of the Proposals in this proxy statement with -3- respect to a Fund prior to any adjournment if sufficient votes have been received for approval. Each Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of its most recent Annual Report to Stockholders and its most recent Semi-Annual Report to Stockholders, if any, succeeding such Annual Report, to any stockholder upon request. Requests should be directed to the Secretary of the relevant Fund in writing at its address below or by calling [1-800- - ]. The principal executive offices of The Emerging Markets Income Fund II Inc, The Emerging Markets Floating Rate Fund Inc., Global Partners Income Fund Inc., Municipal Partners Fund Inc. and Municipal Partners Fund II Inc. (each sometimes referred to herein as an "SBAM Fund" and collectively as the "SBAM Funds") and The Emerging Markets Income Fund Inc are located at 7 World Trade Center, New York, New York 10048. The principal executive offices of Municipal Advantage Fund Inc. (sometimes referred to herein as "MAF") are located at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105. Each of the Funds is a closed-end management investment company. Proposal 1: Approval of a New Investment Management or Advisory Agreement between PIMCO Advisors and the Fund Stockholders of each of the funds will vote on this Proposal. Introduction PIMCO Advisors currently serves as investment adviser to The Emerging Markets Income Fund Inc pursuant to an advisory agreement with such Fund and as investment manager to each other Fund pursuant to a management agreement with such Fund (in each case, the "Existing PIMCO Agreement" and, collectively, the "Existing PIMCO Agreements"), the date of each of which is set forth in the Fund Exhibit. The Fund Exhibit sets forth the respective dates on which each Fund's stockholders and its Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of such Fund or PIMCO Advisors, most recently approved the Fund's Existing PIMCO Agreement. Previously, Value Advisors LLC, a subsidiary of PIMCO Advisors, served as investment manager to MAF. As required by the 1940 Act, each Existing PIMCO Agreement provides for its automatic termination in the event of its "assignment," as defined in such Act. The consummation of the Transaction will constitute an assignment of the Existing PIMCO Agreement with each Fund because it will result in a change of control of PIMCO Advisors. Therefore, in anticipation of the Transaction, the Board of Directors of each Fund is proposing that its -4- stockholders approve a new investment management or advisory agreement between the Fund and PIMCO Advisors (in each case, the "New PIMCO Agreement" and, collectively, the "New PIMCO Agreements"). The New PIMCO Agreement proposed for each Fund is substantially similar to its Existing PIMCO Agreement. A description of the New PIMCO Agreement proposed for each Fund, including the services to be provided by PIMCO Advisors thereunder, is set forth below. The description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of New PIMCO Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B. The New PIMCO Agreements would take effect on the date of consummation of the Transaction. If for any reason the Transaction is not completed, the Existing PIMCO Agreements will remain in effect. Information Concerning the PIMCO Parties PIMCO Advisors is a publicly traded investment management firm whose principal business address is 800 Newport Center Drive, Suite 100, Newport Beach, California 92660. As of September 30, 1999, PIMCO Advisors and its subsidiary partnerships had approximately $256 billion of assets under management. PIMCO Advisors was organized as a limited partnership under Delaware law in 1987. PIMCO Partners, G.P. ("PGP") and PIMCO Advisors Holdings L.P. ("PAH") are the general partners of PIMCO Advisors. PGP is a general partnership between PIMCO Holding LLC ("PH LLC"), a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Life Insurance Company, and PIMCO Partners LLC, a California limited liability company controlled by the current Managing Directors and two former Managing Directors of Pacific Investment Management Company ("PIMCO"). PGP is the sole general partner of PAH. PIMCO Advisors is governed by a management board which exercises substantially all of the governance powers of the general partner and serves as the functional equivalent of a board of directors. The names, titles and principal occupations of the directors and executive officers of PIMCO Advisors are set forth in the following table. Name Title and Principal Occupation - ---- ------------------------------ William D. Cvengros Chief Executive Officer of PIMCO Advisors Robert M. Fitzgerald Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of PIMCO Advisors Kenneth M. Poovey Chief Operating Officer of PIMCO Advisors Stephen J. Treadway Executive Vice President of PIMCO Advisors -5- James G. Ward Senior Vice President and Director of Human Resources of PIMCO Advisors Richard M. Weil Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of PIMCO Advisors Ernest L. Schneider Senior Vice President of PIMCO Advisors The business address of each person listed above other than Mr. Treadway is 800 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California 92660 and the business address of Mr. Treadway is 2187 Atlantic Street, Stamford, Connecticut 06902. Information Concerning Allianz of America and Its Affiliates Allianz AG, the parent of Allianz of America, is a publicly traded German Aktiengesellschaft. The Allianz group companies comprise the world's second largest insurance group as measured by premium income. The Allianz group is a leading provider of financial services, particularly in Europe, and is represented in 68 countries worldwide through subsidiaries, branch and representative offices, and other affiliated entities. The Allianz group currently has assets under management of more than $390 billion, and in its last fiscal year wrote approximately $50 billion in gross insurance premiums. After completion of the Transaction, PIMCO Advisors and Allianz group companies combined will have over $650 billion in assets under management. Allianz AG's address is Allianz Aktiengesellschaft, Koeniginstrasse 28, D-80802, Munich, Germany. Affiliates of Allianz AG currently include Dresdner Bank AG, Deutsche Bank AG, Munich Re, and Hypo Vereinsbank. These entities, as well as certain broker-dealers controlled by or affiliated with these entities, such as Bankers Trust Company, BT Alex. Brown Incorporated, Morgan Grenfell and Kleinwort Benson, may be considered "Affiliated Brokers". Once the Transaction is completed, absent an exemption from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or other relief, the Funds would generally be precluded from effecting principal transactions with Affiliated Brokers, and their ability to purchase securities from underwriting syndicates including an Affiliated Broker or to utilize Affiliated Brokers for agency transactions would be subject to restrictions. PIMCO Advisors does not believe that applicable restrictions on transactions with the Affiliated Brokers described above will materially adversely affect its ability, post-closing, to provide services to the Funds, the Funds' ability to take advantage of market opportunities or the overall performance of the Funds. The Transaction On October 31, 1999, PIMCO Advisors, its general partners, PAH and Partners GP, certain of their affiliates, Allianz of America and certain other -6- parties named therein entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which Allianz of America agreed to acquire majority ownership of PIMCO Advisors. The Merger Agreement provides for the acquisition of PAH by Allianz of America through a merger of a subsidiary of Allianz of America with and into PAH. In the merger, all of the outstanding units of limited and general partnership interests in PAH will be converted into the right to receive cash in an amount per unit equal to $38.75, subject to downward adjustment if PIMCO Advisors' investment advisory revenue base, expressed as a "revenue run rate," declines (excluding market-based changes) below a specified level (the "Unit Transaction Price"). As a result of the merger, PAH will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz of America. Following the merger, subsidiaries of Allianz of America will, in a series of transactions, acquire for cash at the Unit Transaction Price substantially all of the remaining interests in PIMCO Advisors (the "PA Units"), other than those interests beneficially owned by Pacific Life Insurance Company ("Pacific Life"). As part of the transaction, a subsidiary of Allianz of America will acquire Partners GP through an acquisition of the Managing general partner interest in Partners GP from PIMCO Partners LLC (the managing general partner of Partners GP) for approximately $5.5 million. Pacific Life, which through subsidiaries owns approximately a 31% interest in PIMCO Advisors will maintain an indirect interest in PIMCO Advisors following the closing. In connection with the closing, Allianz of America will enter into a put/call arrangement for the eventual disposition of Pacific Life's indirect investment in PIMCO Advisors. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (together, the "Transaction"), Allianz of America will control PIMCO Advisors, having acquired approximately 70% of the outstanding partnership interests in PIMCO Advisors. The Transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2000, although there is no assurance that the Transaction will be completed. Completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, (i) the approval of the public unitholders of PAH, (ii) the receipt of certain regulatory approvals and (iii) PIMCO Advisors' revenue run-rate for all accounts managed by PIMCO Advisors and its subsidiaries being at least 75% of the September 30, 1999 amount. PIMCO Advisors has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, prior to completion of the Transaction, the approval of the New PIMCO Agreements, the New SBAM Agreements and the New OpCap Agreement by the shareholders of each Fund. If the new agreements are not approved by the Funds' shareholders and the Transaction is completed, the Board of Directors of each Fund will consider appropriate action. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, PIMCO Advisors and Pacific Investment Management Company, a subsidiary partnership of PIMCO Advisors, -7- will enter into employment, retention and incentive arrangements with key employees of PIMCO Advisors and Pacific Investment Management Company. These benefits include new employment agreements, retention and incentive awards vesting over a term of years and restricted stock grants. In addition, certain key employees of PIMCO Advisors' investment advisory subsidiaries will receive payment in respect of previously existing non-competition arrangements in connection with the acquisition by Allianz of America of the PA Units on which such arrangements were based. Post-Transaction Structure and Operations. Upon completion of the Transaction, PIMCO Advisors and its subsidiaries will be controlled by Allianz of America. Allianz of America is a holding company that owns several insurance and financial service companies and is a subsidiary of Allianz AG, which, together with its subsidiaries, comprise the world's second largest insurance group as measured by premium income. Allianz of America will control PIMCO Advisors through its managing member interest in PacPartners LLC, which will be the sole general partner of PIMCO Advisors following the Transaction. While Allianz of America will control PacPartners LLC, Pacific Life will hold a portion of its continuing interest in PIMCO Advisors through an interest in PacPartners LLC. Operationally, PIMCO Advisors is expected to become a unit of Allianz Asset Management ("AAM"), the division of Allianz AG that coordinates global Allianz asset management activities. PIMCO Advisors is expected to become the global fixed income investment management division of Allianz AG. PIMCO Advisors and its subsidiaries are currently expected to continue to operate in the United States under their existing names. Both William S. Thompson Jr., a member of the Management Board and Chairman of the Executive Committee of PIMCO Advisors, and William H. Gross, the current Chief Investment Officer of PIMCO, will have roles on the Executive Committee of AAM, with Mr. Thompson serving as the Executive Committee's Deputy Chairman. In the Transaction, Messrs. Thomson and Gross will enter into employment contracts with a term of seven years following the Transaction. Certain key employees of PIMCO Advisors have also contractually agreed to remain with PIMCO Advisors following the Transaction. William D. Cvengros is a Director of Each Fund (other than Municipal Advantage Fund Inc.) and is President and Chief Executive Officer of PIMCO Advisors and a member of its Management Board. In connection with the Transaction, Mr. Cvengros and the Cvengros Living Trust will receive cash for 5,000 and 355,000 PA Units, respectively, at the Unit Transaction Price. Additionally, Mr. Cvengros, who has elected not to continue his employment -8- with PIMCO Advisors after the Transaction, will receive a transition award of approximately $1.7 million per annum for three years. Options for 250,000 PA Units previously granted to Mr. Cvengros pursuant to PIMCO Advisors' 1998 Unit Incentive Plan will be converted into the right to receive cash for the difference between the exercise price for those options (which averages $16.65) and the Unit Transaction Price. Stephen J. Treadway is President of each Fund (other than Municipal Advantage Fund Inc.) and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Municipal Advantage Fund Inc. Mr Treadway serves as Executive Vice President of PIMCO Advisors, and as Chairman and President of PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC. In connection with the Transaction, Mr. Treadway will sell 5,000 PA Units at the Unit Transaction Price. Upon completion of the Transaction Mr. Treadway will enter into an employment agreement with PIMCO Advisors for an initial term of two years, beginning January 1, 2000, with automatic renewal for successive two year periods. Mr. Treadway will receive an annual salary of $350,000 and bonus, and will be eligible to participate in certain benefit plans and programs. In addition, pursuant to a new PIMCO Advisors LP Transition and Retention Plan, Mr. Treadway will receive a fixed payment of $1 million per year for five years and will be eligible for a performance based award of up to $1 million per year for five years depending on the achievement of certain retail product sales targets. Additionally, 25,688 PA Units attributable to Mr. Treadway's account balance in PIMCO Advisors' Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (including certain restricted PA Units) will fully vest and the PA Units owned by that plan will be exchanged for cash at the Unit Transaction Price. Options for 105,000 PA Units previously granted to Mr. Treadway pursuant to PIMCO Advisors' 1998 Unit Incentive Plan will be converted into the right to receive cash for the difference between the exercise price for those options (which averages $22.75) and the Unit Transaction Price. Newton B. Schott, Jr. is Executive Vice President of each Fund and is also Assistant Secretary to Municipal Advantage Fund Inc. Mr. Schott is Senior Vice President of PIMCO Advisors Mutual Fund Division and Executive Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer, Secretary and General Counsel to PIMCO Funds Distributors LLC. Any options for PA Units held by Mr. Schott will be converted into a right to receive the difference between the exercise price for such options and the Unit Transaction Price. Additionally, any such person's interest in PIMCO Advisors' Executive Deferred Compensation Plan will fully vest and the PA Units owned by that plan will be sold at the Unit Transaction Price. As a result of the direct and indirect interests in the Transaction and in PIMCO Advisors and its affiliates, as well as the employment arrangements with PIMCO Advisors and its affiliates, each of the persons identified in the foregoing paragraphs may be deemed to have a substantial interest in shareholder approval of the matters set forth in proposals 1,2 and 3. -9- Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act. Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act is available to the current owners of PIMCO Advisors in connection with the Transaction. Section 15(f) provides in substance that when a sale of an investment advisory business occurs, the investment adviser or its affiliates may receive any amount or benefit in connection with the sale as long as two conditions are satisfied. First, an "unfair burden" must not be imposed on investment company clients of the adviser as a result of the transaction, or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable to the transaction. The term "unfair burden" (as defined in the 1940 Act) includes any arrangement during the two-year period after the transaction whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor adviser), or any "interested person" (as defined in the 1940 Act) (an "Interested Person") of any such adviser, receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from such an investment company or its security holders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services) or from any other person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of such investment company. The Board of Directors of each Fund is aware of no circumstances arising from the Transaction that might result in an unfair burden being imposed on the Fund. The second condition of Section 15(f) is that during the three-year period after the transaction, at least 75% of the investment company's board of directors must not be "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor adviser). Allianz of America, and each of the other parties to the Transaction have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to ensure compliance with Section 15(f) as it applies to the Transaction. In connection with compliance with Section 15(f), PIMCO Advisors and The Emerging Markets Income Fund Inc, The Emerging Markets Income Fund II Inc, The Emerging Markets Floating Rate Fund Inc., Global Partners Income Fund Inc., Municipal Advantage Fund Inc., Municipal Partners Fund Inc. and Municipal Partners Fund II Inc. have applied to the SEC for an exemption from the 75% disinterested board requirement to avoid the need to reconstitute the Funds' Boards of Directors upon consummation of the Transaction. Existing PIMCO Agreements and New PIMCO Agreements The Existing PIMCO Agreement and the New PIMCO Agreement for each Fund are substantially similar. The following description of the New PIMCO Agreement for each Fund is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of New PIMCO Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B. -10- Services to be Performed Pursuant to each New PIMCO Agreement, PIMCO Advisors will continue to supervise the Fund's investment program, including advising and consulting with the Fund's investment manager (or adviser, in the case of The Emerging Markets Income Fund Inc) regarding the Fund's overall investment strategy. PIMCO Advisors also will continue to provide access to economic information, research and assistance to all Funds. Expenses and Advisory Fees Each New PIMCO Agreement provides that the Fund is responsible for all of its expenses and liabilities, except that PIMCO Advisors is responsible for the expenses in connection with maintaining a staff within its organization to furnish the above services to the Fund and the investment manager (or adviser, in the case of The Emerging Markets Income Fund Inc). For each Fund, the rate used to determine fees payable by the Fund pursuant to its New PIMCO Agreement is identical to the rate in its Existing PIMCO Agreement. Consequently, each Fund will pay PIMCO Advisors a monthly fee at a rate under its New PIMCO Agreement which is identical to the fee rate for its Existing PIMCO Agreement, which is set forth in the Fund Exhibit. For each Fund, the aggregate amount of investment management or advisory fees paid by such Fund to PIMCO for the Fund's most recent fiscal year under its Existing PIMCO Agreement is set forth in the Fund Exhibit. PIMCO remitted a certain percentage of such fees to third parties, including (i) SBAM, pursuant to the Existing SBAM Agreements (for a discussion of such agreements, see Proposal 2) and (ii) OpCap, pursuant to the Existing OpCap Agreement (for a discussion of this agreement, see Proposal 3). Limitation of Liability Each New PIMCO Agreement provides that, in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard for its obligations thereunder ("disabling conduct"), PIMCO Advisors shall not be liable to the Fund or its stockholders for any act or omission in the course of or in connection with the rendering of its services thereunder. In addition, each New PIMCO Agreement provides that the Fund, under certain circumstances, will indemnify PIMCO Advisors against any losses or expenses incurred, including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments and reasonable legal costs, not resulting from disabling conduct. Duration and Termination Each Fund's New PIMCO Agreement will have an initial term of two years, and thereafter will continue in effect for successive annual -11- periods provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) a majority of the members of the Fund's Board of Directors who are not parties to the New PIMCO Agreement, and who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any such party, and (ii) a majority of the Fund's Board of Directors or the holders of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund. For each Fund, its New PIMCO Agreement may be terminated, without penalty, on 60 days' notice, by the Fund's Board of Directors, by a vote of the holders of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund (as defined under "Required Vote" below) or by PIMCO Advisors, and each New PIMCO Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its "assignment" (as defined in the 1940 Act). Evaluation by the Boards of Directors Each Fund's Board of Directors, including the Board members who are not interested persons of any party to the New PIMCO Agreement or its affiliates, has approved the New PIMCO Agreement for such Fund and recommends that stockholders of the Fund approve such agreement. Such Board approvals occurred at meetings held on November 2, 1999 with respect to The Emerging Markets Income Fund Inc, The Emerging Markets Income Fund II Inc, The Emerging Markets Floating Rate Fund Inc., Global Partners Income Fund Inc., Municipal Partners Fund Inc. and Municipal Partners Fund II Inc. and on December 10, 1999 with respect to Municipal Advantage Fund Inc. Each New PIMCO Agreement will become effective on the later of the date the Transaction is consummated and the date the stockholders of the relevant Fund approve such agreement. In approving the New PIMCO Agreement and determining to submit it to stockholders for their approval, the Board of Directors of each Fund has determined that continuity and efficiency of management or advisory services after the Transaction is consummated can best be assured by approving the New PIMCO Agreement on behalf of the Fund. The Board of Directors of each Fund believes that the New PIMCO Agreement will enable the Fund to obtain high-quality services at costs which it deems appropriate and reasonable and that approval of the New PIMCO Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its stockholders. In connection with its review of the New PIMCO Agreement, each Fund's Board of Directors requested and reviewed, with the assistance of its own legal counsel, materials furnished by PIMCO Advisors and Allianz of America. These materials included financial statements as well as other written information regarding PIMCO Advisors and Allianz of America and their personnel, operations and financial condition. In approving the New PIMCO Agreement, the Board of Directors of each Fund focused primarily on the nature, quality and scope of the operations and services to date provided by PIMCO Advisors to the Fund, which -12- will continue to be provided by PIMCO Advisors after the consummation of Transaction with no change in fees, comparative fee information concerning other investment companies currently advised by PIMCO Advisors with similar investment objectives (which information is presented in the Fund Exhibit as the first item appearing under the heading "A. General Information"), and the fact that the Existing PIMCO Agreement and the New PIMCO Agreement for such Fund, including the terms relating to the services to be performed thereunder by PIMCO Advisors, are identical. In connection with these primary considerations, comparisons were made between the New PIMCO Agreement and similar arrangements by other investment companies, particularly with regard to levels of fees and the anticipated benefits to PIMCO Advisors of its relationship with each Fund. In addition to the foregoing primary considerations, each Fund's Board of Directors considered the likelihood of PIMCO Advisors' and Allianz's financial stability following consummation of the Transaction, particularly in light of the overall experience and reputation of each of PIMCO Advisors and Allianz of America, and whether there are any aspects of the Transaction likely to affect the ability of PIMCO Advisors to retain and attract qualified personnel following consummation. In connection with these considerations, each Board of Directors considered possible alternatives to approval of the New PIMCO Agreement. Based upon its review of the above factors, the Board of Directors of each Fund concluded that the New PIMCO Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its stockholders. Certain directors and officers of each Fund may have a substantial interest in the approval of the New PIMCO Agreement for such Fund as a result of their interests in PIMCO Advisors or affiliates thereof, as described above under "The Transaction" and in the Fund Exhibit. Required Vote As provided by the 1940 Act, approval of each Fund's New PIMCO Agreement will require the affirmative vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund, which means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the shares of the Fund entitled to vote thereon present or represented by proxy at the Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote thereon are present or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote thereon. For this purpose, abstentions and Broker Non-Votes will be counted as shares present at the Meeting for quorum purposes but not voting and will have the same effect as votes cast against the Proposal. -13- THE DIRECTORS OF EACH FUND, INCLUDING THE DIRECTORS WHO ARE NOT "INTERESTED PERSONS" (AS DEFINED IN THE 1940 ACT) OF THE FUND, ALLIANZ OF AMERICA, PIMCO ADVISORS OR THEIR AFFILIATES, RECOMMEND THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE FUND VOTE "FOR" THE NEW PIMCO AGREEMENT. Proposal 2: Approval of a New Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement among PIMCO Advisors, SBAM and the Fund Stockholders of The Emerging Markets Income Fund II Inc, The Emerging Markets Floating Rate Fund Inc., Global Partners Income Fund Inc. Municipal Partners Fund Inc. and Municipal Partners Fund II Inc. will vote on this Proposal. Introduction SBAM serves as investment adviser and administrator to each SBAM Fund pursuant to an investment advisory and administration agreement currently in place among PIMCO Advisors, SBAM and such SBAM Fund (in each case, the "Existing SBAM Agreement" and, collectively, the "Existing SBAM Agreements"), the date of each of which is set forth in the Fund Exhibit. In addition, SBAM serves as investment manager and administrator to The Emerging Markets Income Fund Inc pursuant to a management agreement with such Fund. The Fund Exhibit sets forth the respective dates on which each SBAM Fund's stockholders and Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of such SBAM Fund, PIMCO Advisors or SBAM, most recently approved the SBAM Fund's Existing SBAM Agreement. As required by the 1940 Act, each Existing SBAM Agreement provides for its automatic termination in the event of its "assignment," as defined in such Act. For a discussion of the Transaction, see "The Transaction" under Proposal 1 above. Therefore, in anticipation of the Transaction, the Board of Directors of each SBAM Fund is proposing that its stockholders approve a new investment advisory and administration agreement among PIMCO Advisors, SBAM and the SBAM Fund (in each case, the "New SBAM Agreement" and, collectively, the "New SBAM Agreements"). The New SBAM Agreement proposed for each SBAM Fund is substantially similar to its Existing SBAM Agreement. A description of the New SBAM Agreement proposed for each SBAM Fund, including the services to be provided by SBAM thereunder, is set forth below. The description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of New SBAM Agreement for each SBAM Fund attached hereto as Exhibit C. The New SBAM Agreements would take effect on the date of the consummation of the Transaction. If for any reason the Transaction is not completed, the Existing SBAM Agreements will remain in effect. -14- Information Concerning SBAM SBAM is a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware on December 24, 1987 and is registered as an investment adviser pursuant to the Advisers Act.

Existing and New SBAM Agreements The Existing SBAM Agreement and the New SBAM Agreement for each SBAM Fund are substantially similar. The following description of the New SBAM Agreement for each SBAM Fund is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of New SBAM Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C. Services to be Performed Pursuant to each New SBAM Agreement, subject to the direction and control of the directors of the SBAM Fund and in consultation with PIMCO Advisors, SBAM will make investment strategy decisions for each SBAM Fund, manage the investing and reinvesting of assets in accordance with the SBAM Fund's stated policies, place purchase and sale orders for the SBAM Fund, provide financial research and data to the SBAM Fund and be responsible for administrative and stockholder services. Expenses and Advisory Fees Each New SBAM Agreement provides that the SBAM Fund is responsible for all of its expenses and liabilities, except that SBAM is responsible for the expenses in connection with providing facilities and per- sonnel reasonably necessary for the performance of the services to be provided by it to the SBAM Fund. For each SBAM Fund, the rate used to determine fees payable by PIMCO Advisors to SBAM pursuant to the New SBAM Agreement is identical to the rate in the Existing SBAM Agreement. Consequently, SBAM will be paid by PIMCO Advisors a monthly fee at a rate under each SBAM Fund's New SBAM Agreement which is identical to the fee rate for its Existing SBAM Agreement, which is set forth in the Fund Exhibit. For each SBAM Fund, the aggregate amount of fees paid to SBAM for the SBAM Fund's most recent fiscal year under its Existing SBAM Agreement is set forth in the Fund Exhibit. Limitation of Liability Each New SBAM Agreement provides that in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its -16- obligations thereunder ("disabling conduct"), SBAM shall not be liable to the SBAM Fund or its stockholders for any act or omission in the course of or in connection with the rendering of its services thereunder. In addition, each New SBAM Agreement provides that the SBAM Fund, under certain circumstances, will indemnify SBAM against any losses or expenses incurred, including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments and reasonable legal costs, not resulting from disabling conduct. Duration and Termination Each SBAM Fund's New SBAM Agreement will have an initial term of two years, and thereafter will continue in effect for successive annual periods provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) a majority of the members of the SBAM Fund's Board of Directors who are not parties to the New SBAM Agreement, and who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any such party, and (ii) a majority of the SBAM Fund's Board of Directors or the holders of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the SBAM Fund. For each SBAM Fund, its New SBAM Agreement may be terminated, without penalty, on 60 days' notice, by the SBAM Fund's Board of Directors, by a vote of the holders of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the SBAM Fund, or by SBAM, and each New SBAM Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its "assignment" (as defined in the 1940 Act). Evaluation by the Boards of Directors Each SBAM Fund's Board of Directors, including the Board members who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the New SBAM Agreement or its affiliates, has approved the New SBAM Agreement for such SBAM Fund and recommends that stockholders of the SBAM Fund approve such agreement. Such Board approvals occurred at meetings held on November 2, 1999. Each New SBAM Agreement will become effective on the later of the date the Transaction is consummated and the date the stockholders of the relevant Fund approve such agreement. In approving the New SBAM Agreement and determining to submit it to the stockholders for their approval, the Board of Directors of each SBAM Fund has determined that continuity and efficiency of management or advisory services after the Transaction is consummated can best be assured by approving the New SBAM Agreement on behalf of the SBAM Fund. The Board of each SBAM Fund believes that the New SBAM Agreement will enable the SBAM Fund to obtain high-quality services at costs which it deems appropriate and reasonable and that approval of the New SBAM Agreement is in the best interests of the SBAM Fund and its stockholders. -17- In connection with its review of the New SBAM Agreement, each SBAM Fund's Board of Directors requested and reviewed, with the assistance of its own legal counsel, materials furnished by SBAM. These materials included financial statements as well as other written information regarding SBAM and its personnel, operations and financial condition. In approving the New SBAM Agreement, the Board of Directors of each SBAM Fund focused primarily on the nature, quality and scope of the services provided to date by SBAM to the SBAM Fund, which are expected to continue to be provided after the Transaction with no change in fees, comparative fee information concerning other investment companies advised by SBAM with similar investment objectives (which information is presented in the Fund Exhibit as the first item appearing under the heading "A. General Information"), and the fact that the Existing SBAM Agreement and the New SBAM Agreement for such SBAM Fund, including the terms relating to the services to be performed thereunder by SBAM, are identical. In connection with these primary considerations, comparisons were made between the New SBAM Agreement and similar arrangements by other investment companies, particularly with regard to levels of fees and the benefits to SBAM of its relationship with each SBAM Fund. In addition, each SBAM Fund's Board of Directors considered the commitment of SBAM to maintain and enhance the services provided to the SBAM Fund by it. In addition to the foregoing primary considerations, each SBAM Fund's Board of Directors considered the likelihood of SBAM's continued financial stability, particularly in light of its overall experience and reputation and the fact that the Transaction will have no impact on SBAM, its personnel or the services it provides to each SBAM Fund. In connection with these considerations, each SBAM Fund's Board considered possible alternatives to approval of the New SBAM Agreement. Based upon its review of the above factors, the Board of Directors of each SBAM Fund concluded that the New SBAM Agreement is in the best interests of the SBAM Fund and its stockholders. Certain directors and officers of each SBAM Fund may have a substantial interest in the approval of the New SBAM Agreement for such Fund as a result of their interests in SBAM or affiliates thereof, as described in the Fund Exhibit. Required Vote As provided by the 1940 Act, approval of each SBAM Fund's New SBAM Agreement will require the affirmative vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the SBAM Fund. For a discussion of the definition of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities," see "Required Vote" under Proposal 1 above. -18- THE DIRECTORS OF EACH FUND, INCLUDING THE DIRECTORS WHO ARE NOT "INTERESTED PERSONS" (AS DEFINED IN THE 1940 ACT) OF THE FUND, ALLIANZ OF AMERICA, SBAM, PIMCO ADVISORS OR THEIR AFFILIATES, RECOMMEND THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE FUND VOTE "FOR" THE NEW SBAM AGREEMENT. Proposal 3: Approval of a New Investment Advisory or Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement among PIMCO Advisors, OpCap and the Fund Stockholders of Municipal Advantage Fund Inc. will vote on this Proposal. Introduction OpCap serves as investment adviser and administrator to MAF pursuant to an investment advisory and administration agreement currently in place among PIMCO Advisors, OpCap and MAF (the "Existing OpCap Agreement"), the date of which is set forth in the Fund Exhibit. The Fund Exhibit sets forth the respective dates on which Municipal Advantage Fund Inc's stockholders and Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of this Fund, PIMCO Advisors or OpCap, most recently approved the Fund's Existing OpCap Agreement. As required by the 1940 Act, the Existing OpCap Agreement provides for its automatic termination in the event of its "assignment", as defined in such Act. For a discussion of the Transaction, see "The Transaction" under Proposal 1 above. Therefore, in anticipation of the Transaction, the Board of Directors of MAF is proposing that its stockholders approve a new investment advisory or investment advisory and administration agreement among PIMCO Advisors, OpCap and MAF (the "New OpCap Agreement"). The New OpCap Agreement is substantially similar to the Existing OpCap Agreement. A description of the New OpCap Agreement proposed for this Fund, including the services to be provided by OpCap thereunder, is set forth below. The description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of New OpCap Agreement for this Fund attached hereto as Exhibit D. The New OpCap Agreement would take effect on the date of consummation of the Transaction. If for any reason the Transaction is not completed, the Existing OpCap Agreement will remain in effect. Information Concerning OpCap OpCap is a Delaware general partnership and a registered investment adviser under the Advisers Act. OpCap is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PIMCO Advisors. OpCap has served as the investment adviser and administrator to Municipal Advantage Fund Inc. since commencement of the Fund's operations. At September 30, 1999, OpCap, together with its parent company, Oppenheimer -19- Capital, managed approximately $56 billion of assets. The Fund Exhibit provides information with respect to the investment companies with similar investment objectives to this Fund for which OpCap provides advisory services. The names, titles and principal occupations of the current executive officers of OpCap are set forth in the following table. The business address of each person listed below is 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105. Name Title and Principal Occupation - ---- ------------------------------ Peter M. Jones Managing Director of OpCap Frank Poli Vice President and Secretary of OpCap Lawrence K. Becker Treasurer of OpCap Existing and New OpCap Agreements The Existing OpCap Agreement and the New OpCap Agreement are substantially similar. The following description of the New OpCap Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of New OpCap Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D. Services to be Performed Pursuant to the New OpCap Agreement, subject to the direction and control of the directors of MAF and in consultation with PIMCO Advisors, OpCap will make investment strategy decisions for MAF, manage the investing and reinvesting of assets in accordance with MAF's stated policies, place purchase and sale orders for MAF, provide financial research and data to MAF and be responsible for administrative and stockholders services. Expenses and Advisory Fees The New OpCap Agreement provides that MAF is responsible for all of its expenses and liabilities, except that OpCap is responsible for the expenses in connection with providing office space, office facilities and personnel reasonably necessary for performance of the services to be provided by it to MAF. The rate used to determine fees payable by PIMCO Advisors to OpCap pursuant to the New OpCap Agreement is identical to the rate in the Existing OpCap Agreement. Consequently, OpCap will be paid by PIMCO Advisors a monthly fee at a rate under the New OpCap Agreement which is identical to -20- the fee rate under the Existing OpCap Agreement as set forth in the Fund Exhibit. The aggregate amount of the fees paid to OpCap for MAF's most recent fiscal year under the Existing OpCap Agreement is set forth in the Fund Exhibit. Limitation of Liability The New OpCap Agreement provides that in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations thereunder ("disabling conduct"), OpCap shall not be liable to MAF or its stockholders for any act or omission in the course of or in connection with the rendering of its services thereunder. In addition, the New OpCap Agreement provides that MAF, under certain circumstances, will indemnify OpCap against any losses or expenses incurred, including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments and reasonable legal costs, not resulting from disabling conduct. Duration and Termination The New OpCap Agreement will have an initial term of two years, and thereafter will continue in effect for successive annual periods provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) a majority of the members of MAF's Board of Directors who are not parties to the New OpCap Agreement, and who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any such party, and (ii) a majority of MAF's Board of Directors or the holders of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of MAF. The New OpCap Agreement may be terminated, without penalty, on 60 days' notice, by MAF's Board of Directors, by a vote of the holders of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of MAF, or by PIMCO Advisors, and the New OpCap Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its "assignment" (as defined in the 1940 Act). In addition, like the Existing OpCap Agreement, the New OpCap Agreement may be terminated, without penalty, on 60 days' notice, by OpCap. Evaluation by the Boards of Directors MAF's Board of Directors, including the Board members who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the New OpCap Agreement or its affiliates, has approved the New OpCap Agreement for MAF and recommends that the stockholders of MAF approve such agreement. Such Board approval occurred at a meeting held on December 10, 1999. The New OpCap Agreement will become effective on the later of the date the Transaction is consummated and the date the stockholders of MAF approve such agreement. In approving the New OpCap Agreement and determining to submit it to stockholders for their approval, the Board of Directors of MAF -21- has determined that continuity and efficiency of advisory services after the Transaction is consummated can best be assured by approving the New OpCap Agreement on behalf of MAF. The Board of Directors of MAF believes that the New OpCap Agreement will enable MAF to obtain high-quality services at costs which it deems appropriate and reasonable and that approval of the New OpCap Agreement is in the best interests of this Fund and its stockholders. In connection with its review of the New OpCap Agreement, MAF's Board of Directors requested and reviewed, with the assistance of its own legal counsel, materials furnished by OpCap, PIMCO Advisors and Allianz of America. These materials included financial statements as well as other written information regarding PIMCO Advisors and Allianz of America and their personnel, operations and financial condition. In approving the New OpCap Agreement, the Board of Directors of MAF focused primarily on the nature, quality and scope of the operations and services to date provided by OpCap to MAF, which are expected to continue to be provided after the consummation of Transaction with no change in fees, and the fact that the Existing OpCap Agreement and the New OpCap Agreement for MAF, including the terms relating to the services to be performed thereunder by OpCap, are identical. In connection with these primary considerations, comparisons were made between the New OpCap Agreement and similar arrangements by other investment companies, particularly with regard to levels of fees and the anticipated benefits to OpCap of its relationship with MAF. In addition to the foregoing primary considerations, MAF's Board of Directors considered the likelihood of OpCap's financial stability following consummation of the Transaction particularly in light of the overall experience and reputation of each of OpCap, PIMCO Advisors and Allianz of America, and whether there are any aspects of the Transaction likely to affect the ability of OpCap to retain and attract qualified personnel following consummation of the Transaction. In connection with these consideration, the Board of Directors considered possible alternatives to approval of the New OpCap Agreement. Based upon its review of the above factors, the Board of Directors of MAF concluded that the New OpCap Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its stockholders. Certain directors and officers of MAF may have a substantial interest in the approval of the New OpCap Agreement for such Fund as a result -22- of their interests in OpCap or affiliates thereof, as described in Proposal 1 and in the Fund Exhibit. Required Vote As provided by the 1940 Act, approval of the New OpCap Agreement will require the affirmative vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of MAF. For a discussion of the definition of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities", see "Required Vote" under Proposal 1 above. THE DIRECTORS OF MUNICIPAL ADVANTAGE FUND, INC., INCLUDING THE DIRECTORS WHO ARE NOT "INTERESTED PERSONS" (AS DEFINED IN THE 1940 ACT) OF THE FUND, ALLIANZ OF AMERICA, OPCAP, PIMCO ADVISORS OR THEIR AFFILIATES, RECOMMEND THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE FUND VOTE "FOR" THE NEW OPCAP AGREEMENT. Proposal 4: Election of Directors Stockholders of The Emerging Markets Income Fund Inc, Global Partners Income Fund Inc. and Municipal Advantage Fund Inc. will vote on this Proposal. The Meeting of each of the Funds listed above also will serve as that Fund's Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and stockholders of those Funds are being asked to consider for election as directors the individuals (the "Nominees") listed in the Fund Exhibit. As described in the Fund Exhibit, each Fund's Board of Directors is divided into three classes. Consequently, stockholders of The Emerging Markets Income Fund and Global Partners Income Fund Inc. will be electing two directors at the respective Meetings to hold office until the year 2002 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and stockholders of Municipal Advantage Fund, Inc. will be electing one director to hold office until the year 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or, in each case, thereafter when their respective successors are elected and qualified. Biographical information about the Nominees and other directors and executive officers of the Funds, and other information relating to, among other things, compensation of such individuals, is set forth in the Fund Exhibit (Exhibit A) under the heading "B. Specific Fund Information." Each Nominee currently serves as a director of the relevant Fund. The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy intend to vote at the Meeting (unless directed otherwise) FOR the election of the Nominees. Each Nominee has indicated that he or she will serve if elected, but if any Nominee should be unable to serve, the proxy will be voted for any other person determined by the persons named in the proxy in accordance with their judgment. -23- Required Vote For each Fund, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares of the Fund's Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting at which a quorum is present. For purposes of the election of directors, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be considered votes cast, and do not effect the plurality vote required for directors. THE DIRECTORS OF EACH FUND, INCLUDING THE DIRECTORS WHO ARE NOT "INTERESTED PERSONS" (AS DEFINED IN THE 1940 ACT) OF EACH FUND, RECOMMEND THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE FUND VOTE "FOR" EACH OF THE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTORS. Proposal 5: Ratification of the Selection of Independent Accountants Stockholders of The Emerging Markets Income Fund Inc, Global Partners Income Fund Inc. and Municipal Advantage Fund Inc. will vote on this Proposal. Because the Meetings of each of the Funds listed above will serve as that Fund's Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the stockholders of each Fund will be asked to ratify the selection by the Fund's Board of Directors of the Fund's independent accountants. The Board of Directors of each Fund has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent accountants of the Fund for the fiscal year of each Fund set forth in the Fund Exhibit. The appointment of independent accountants is approved annually by each Fund's Board of Directors and is subsequently submitted to its stockholders for ratification. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP served as independent accountant for each Fund for the most recently completed fiscal year. Each Fund has been advised by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP that, as of the Record Date, neither the firm nor any of its partners had any direct or material indirect financial interest in either Fund. A representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is expected to attend the Meeting to answer questions concerning each Fund's financial statements and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she chooses to do so.

In consideration of the services to be rendered by the Investment Adviser under this agreement, the Investment Manager shall pay the Investment Adviser a monthly fee in United States dollars on the fifth business day of each month for the previous month at an annual rate of [0.36%]<F48> of the Fund's average weekly net assets (i.e., the average weekly value of the Fund's assets less its liabilities exclusive of capital stock and surplus). If the fee payable to the Investment Adviser pursuant to this paragraph 8 begins to accrue before the end of any month or if this agreement terminates before the end of any month, the fee for the period from such date to the end of such month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination occurs. For purposes of calculating each such monthly fee, the value of the Fund's net assets shall be computed at the time and in the manner specified in the Registration Statement. 9. The Investment Adviser represents and warrants that it is duly registered and authorized as an investment adviser under the [1940 Act]<F49>, the Investment Adviser agrees to maintain effective all requisite registrations, authorizations, and licenses, as the case may be, until the termination of this Agreement. 10. The Investment Adviser shall exercise its best judgment in rendering the services in accordance with the terms of this agreement. The Investment Adviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any act or omission or any loss suffered by the Fund [or the Investment Manager]<F50> in connection with the matters to which this agreement relates, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to protect or purport to protect the Investment Adviser against any liability to the Fund or [the Investment Manager]<F51> to which the Investment Adviser would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on its part in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties under this agreement ("disabling conduct"). The Fund will indemnify the Investment Adviser against, and hold it harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses), including any amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines or penalties, not resulting from disabling conduct by the Investment Adviser. Indemnification pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be made only following: (i) a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before whom the proceeding was brought that the Investment Adviser was not liable by reason of disabling conduct, or (ii) in the absence of such a decision, a reasonable determination, based upon a review of the facts, that the Investment Adviser was not liable by reason of disabling conduct by (a) -4- the vote of a majority of a quorum of directors of the Fund who are neither "interested persons" of the Fund nor parties to the proceeding ("disinterested non-party directors") or (b) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion. The Investment Adviser shall be entitled to advances from the Fund for payment of the reasonable expenses incurred by it in connection with the matter as to which it is seeking indemnification in the manner and to the fullest extent permissible under law. [Prior to any such advance, the]<F52> Investment Adviser shall provide to the Fund a written affirmation of its good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Fund has been met and a written undertaking to repay any such advance if it should ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met. In addition, at least one of the following additional conditions shall be met: (a) the Investment Adviser shall provide security in form and amount acceptable to the Fund for its undertaking; (b) the Fund is insured against losses arising by reason of the advance; or (c) a majority of a quorum of disinterested non-party directors, or independent legal counsel, in a written opinion, shall have determined, based on a review of facts readily available to the Fund at the time the advance is proposed to be made, that there is reason to believe that the Investment Adviser will ultimately be found to be entitled to indemnification arising by reason of the advance; or (c) a majority of a quorum of disinterested non-party directors, or independent legal counsel, in a written opinion, shall have determined, based on a review of facts readily available to the Fund at the time the advance is proposed to be made, that there is reason to believe that the Investment Adviser will ultimately be found to be entitled to indemnification. 11. This agreement shall continue in effect until __________ and thereafter for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (a) by the vote of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) or by the Fund's Board of Directors and (b) by the vote, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose, of a majority of the Fund's directors who are not parties to this agreement or "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any such party. This agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by a vote of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) or by a vote of a majority of the Fund's entire Board of Directors on 60 days' written notice to the Investment Adviser or by the Investment Adviser on 60 days' written notice to the Investment Manager. This agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act). This agreement may only be terminated in accordance with-the provisions of this paragraph 11; provided, however, that nothing contained in this agreement shall prohibit the ability of the Investment Manager, in the exercise of its fiduciary duty, to recommend to the Fund that the Fund take action to terminate this agreement as provided in this paragraph 11. -5- 12. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict the right of the Investment Adviser, or any affiliate of the Investment Adviser, or any employee of the Investment Adviser, to engage in any other business or to devote time and attention to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature, or to render services of any kind to any other corporation, firm, individual or association. Nothing herein shall be construed as constituting the Investment Adviser an agent of the Investment Manager or the Fund. 13. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed as being inconsistent with the 1940 Act. 14. Notices.

The Investment Manager has been employed by Municipal Advantage Fund Inc.

The Fund is a closed-end, diversified management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Fund engages in the business of investing and reinvesting its assets in the manner and in accordance with the investment objective and limitations specified in the Fund's Articles of Incorporation, as amended from time to time (the "Articles"), in the Registration Statement on Form N-2, as in effect from time to time (the "Registration Statement"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by the Fund under the 1940 Act and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and in such manner and to such extent as may from time to time be authorized by the Board of Directors of the Fund. Copies of the documents referred to in the preceding sentence have been furnished to the Investment Adviser. Any amendments to these documents shall be furnished to the Investment Adviser. 2. The Investment Manager employs the Investment Adviser, subject to the direction and control of the directors of the Fund, including without limitation any approval of the directors of the Fund required by the 1940 Act, to (a) make, in consultation with the Investment Manager and the Fund's Board of Directors, investment strategy decisions for D-1 the Fund, (b) manage the investing and reinvesting of the Fund's assets as specified in paragraph 1, (c) place purchase and sale orders on behalf of the Fund, (d) provide research and statistical data to the Fund in relation to investing and other matters within the scope of the investment objective and limitations of the Fund and (e) provide the following services for the Fund: (A) compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, including record keeping, reporting requirements and preparation of registration statements and proxies; (B) supervision of Fund operations, including coordination of functions of the transfer agent, custodian, accountants, counsel and other parties performing services or operational functions for the Fund, (C) administrative and clerical services, including accounting services and maintenance of books and records; and (D) services to Fund shareholders, including responding to shareholder inquiries and maintaining a flow of information to shareholders. The Investment Adviser shall have the sole ultimate discretion over investment decisions for the Fund. 3. (a) The Investment Adviser shall, at its expense, provide the Fund with office space, office facilities and personnel reasonably necessary for performance of the services to be provided by the Investment Adviser pursuant to this Agreement. (b) Except as provided in subparagraph 3(a) hereof and Section 1 of the Management Agreement, the Fund shall be responsible for all of the Fund's expenses and liabilities, including organizational and offering expenses (which include out-of-pocket expenses, but not overhead or employee costs of the Investment Adviser); expenses for legal, accounting and auditing services; taxes and governmental fees; dues and expenses incurred in connection with membership in investment company organizations; fees and expenses incurred in connection with listing the Fund's shares on any stock exchange; costs of printing and distributing shareholder reports, proxy materials, prospectuses, stock certificates and distribution of dividends; charges of the Fund's custodians, sub-custodians, registrars, transfer agents, dividend-paying agents and dividend reinvestment plan agents; payment for portfolio pricing services to a pricing agent, if any; registration and filing fees of the SEC; expenses of registering or qualifying securities of the Fund for sale in the various states; freight and other charges in connection with the shipment of the Fund's portfolio securities; fees and expenses of non-interested directors; travel expenses or an appropriate portion thereof of directors and officers of the Fund who are directors, officers or employees of the Investment Adviser or the Investment Manager to the extent that such expenses relate to attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof; costs of shareholders meetings; insurance; interest; brokerage costs; expenses in connection with the offering and issuance of and, if applicable, auctions of any shares of preferred stock issued by the Fund; and litigation and other extraordinary or non-recurring expenses. D-2 4. The Investment Adviser shall make investments for the Fund's account in accordance with the investment objective and limitations set forth in the Articles, the Registration Statement, the 1940 Act, the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, relating to regulated investment companies, and policy decisions adopted by the Fund's Board of Directors from time to time. The Investment Adviser shall advise the Fund's officers and Board of Directors, at such times as the Fund's Board of Directors may specify, of investments made for the Fund's account and shall, when requested by the Fund's officers or Board of Directors, supply the reasons for making such investments. 5. The Investment Adviser may contract with or consult with such banks, other securities firms, brokers or other parties, without additional expense to the Fund, as it may deem appropriate regarding investment advice, research and statistical data, clerical assistance, accounting services or otherwise. 6. The Investment Adviser is authorized on behalf of the Fund, from time to time when deemed to be in the best interests of the Fund and to the extent permitted by applicable law, to purchase and/or sell securities in which the Investment Adviser or the Investment Manager or any of their affiliates underwrites, deals in and/or makes a market and/or may perform or seek to perform investment banking services for issuers of such securities. The Investment Adviser is further authorized, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to select brokers affiliated with the Investment Adviser or the Investment Manager for the execution of trades for the Fund. 7. The Investment Adviser is authorized, for the purchase and sale of the Fund's portfolio securities, to employ such dealers and brokers as may, in the judgment of the Investment Adviser, implement the policy of the Fund to obtain the best net results taking into account such factors as price, including dealer spread, the size, type and difficulty of the transaction involved, the firm's general execution and operational facilities and the firm's risk in positioning the securities involved. Consistent with this policy, the Investment Adviser is authorized to direct the execution of the Fund's portfolio transactions to dealers and brokers furnishing statistical information or research deemed by the Investment Adviser to be useful or valuable to the performance of its investment advisory functions for the Fund. Information so received will be in addition to and not in lieu of the services required to be performed by the Investment Adviser. It is understood that the expenses of the Investment Adviser will not necessarily be reduced as a result of the receipt of such information or research. 8. In consideration of the services to be rendered by the Investment Adviser under this agreement, the Investment Manager shall pay the Investment Adviser a monthly fee in United States dollars on the fifth D-3 business day of each month for the previous month at an annual rate of 0.36% of the Fund's average weekly net assets (i.e. the average weekly value of the Fund's assets less its liabilities exclusive of common and preferred stock and surplus). If the fee payable to the Investment Adviser pursuant to this paragraph 8 begins to accrue before the end of any month or if this agreement terminates before the end of any month, the fee for the period from such date to the end of such month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination occurs. For purposes of calculating each such monthly fee, the value of the Fund's net assets shall be computed at the time and in the manner specified in the Registration Statement. 9. The Investment Adviser represents and warrants that it is duly registered and authorized as an investment adviser under the 1940 Act, and the Investment Adviser agrees to maintain effective all requisite registrations, authorizations and licenses, as the case may be, until the termination of this Agreement. 10. The Investment Adviser shall exercise its best judgment in rendering the services in accordance with the terms of this agreement. The Investment Adviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any act or omission or any loss suffered by the Fund for the Investment Manager in connection with the matters to which this agreement relates, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to pro- tect or purport to protect the Investment Adviser against any liability to the Fund or the Investment Manager to which the Investment Adviser would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on its part in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties under this agreement ("disabling conduct"). The Fund will indemnify the Investment Adviser against, and hold it harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses), including any amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines or penalties, not resulting from disabling conduct by the Investment Adviser. Indemnification pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be made only following: (i) a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before whom the proceeding was brought that the Investment Adviser was not liable by reason of disabling conduct, or (ii) in the absence of such a decision, a reasonable determination, based upon a review of the facts, that the Investment Adviser was not liable by reason of disabling conduct by (a) the vote of a majority of a quorum of directors of the Fund who are neither "interested persons" of the Fund nor parties to the proceeding ("disinterested non-party directors"), or (b) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion. The Investment Adviser shall be entitled to advances from the Fund for payment of the reasonable expenses incurred by it in connection with the matter as to which it is seeking indemnification in the manner and D-4 to the fullest extent permissible under law. Prior to any such advance, the Investment Adviser shall provide to the Fund a written affirmation of its good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Fund has been met and a written undertaking to repay any such advance if it should ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met. In addition, at least one of the following additional conditions shall be met: (a) the Investment Adviser shall provide security in form and amount acceptable to the Fund for its undertaking (b) the Fund is insured against losses arising by reason of the advance; or (c) a majority of a quorum of disinterested non-party directors, or independent legal counsel, in a written opinion, shall have determined, based on a review of facts readily available to the Fund at the time the advance is proposed to be made, that there is reason to believe that the Investment Adviser will ultimately be found to be entitled to indemnification. 11. This agreement shall continue in effect until ___________ and thereafter for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (a) by the vote of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) or by the Fund's Board of Directors and (b) by the vote, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose, of a majority of the Fund's directors who are not parties to this agreement or "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any such party. This Agreement (a) may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by a vote of holders of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) or by a vote of a majority of the Fund's entire Board of Directors or by the Investment Manager or the Investment Adviser on 60 days' written notice delivered to each party hereto, and (b) shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act). This agreement may only be terminated in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph 11; provided, however, that nothing contained in this agreement shall prohibit the ability of the Investment Manager, in the exercise of its fiduciary duty, to recommend to the Fund that the Fund take action to terminate this agreement as provided in this paragraph 11. 12. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict the right of the Investment Adviser, or any affiliate of the Investment Adviser, or any employee of the Investment Adviser, to engage in any other business or to devote time and attention to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature, or to render services of any kind to any other corporation, firm, individual or association. Nothing herein shall be construed as constituting the Investment Adviser an agent of the Investment Manager or the Fund. 13. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed as being inconsistent with the 1940 Act. D-5 14. Notices.
