(the "Fund"), for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Fund to be held at the Citigroup Center, 153 E. 53rd Street, New York, New York, 14th floor Conference Center on January 21, 2003 at 10:30 a.m., New York time, and at any adjournments thereof (the "Meeting"), for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Notice"). The cost of soliciting proxies and the expenses incurred in preparing this proxy statement will be borne by the Fund. Solicitation costs are expected to be approximately $11,000. In addition, the Fund will reimburse brokerage firms or other record holders for their expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to beneficial owners of shares of the Fund. Proxy solicitations will be made primarily by mail. In addition, certain officers, directors and employees of the Fund; Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("Salomon Smith Barney"); Smith Barney Fund Management LLC ("SBFM" or the "Manager"), the Fund's investment manager, which is an affiliate of Salomon Smith Barney; and/or PFPC Global Fund Services ("PFPC"), the Fund's transfer agent, may solicit proxies in person or by telephone or mail. Salomon Smith Barney and SBFM are located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013 and 399 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022, respectively; PFPC is located at P.O. Box 8030, Boston, Massachusetts 02266. The Annual Report of the Fund, including audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, has previously been furnished to all shareholders of the Fund. The Fund will provide additional copies of the Annual Report to any shareholder upon request by calling the Fund at 1-800-451-2010. This proxy statement and proxy are first being mailed to shareholders on or about December 23, 2002. All properly executed proxies received prior to the Meeting will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or otherwise as provided therein. Unless instructions to the contrary are marked, shares represented by the proxies will be voted "FOR" all the proposals listed in the Notice. Proposal No. 1 requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting with a quorum present for approval. A quorum consists (of the presence in person or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Meeting, abstentions and broker "non-votes" (i.e., proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other person entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to which such broker or nominee does not have discretionary power) will be treated as shares that are present but which have not been voted. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on Proposal No. 1, for which the required vote is a plurality of the votes cast. Any proxy may be revoked at any time prior to the exercise thereof by submitting another proxy bearing a later date or by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Fund at the Fund's address indicated above prior to the Meeting or by voting in person at the Meeting. The Board knows of no business other than that specifically mentioned in the Notice that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting. If any other matters are properly presented, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote in accordance with their best judgment to the extent permissible under applicable law. The Board has fixed the close of business on December 2, 2002 as the record date (the "Record Date") for the determination of shareholders of the Fund entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Shareholders of the Fund as of the Record Date will be entitled to one vote on each matter for each share held and a fractional vote with respect to fractional shares, with no cumulative voting rights. As of the Record Date, the Fund had outstanding 9,781,666.667 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of which 9,739,445 shares (or 99.6%) were held but not beneficially owned by Cede & Co., P.O. Box 20, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004. As of the Record Date, the Fund had outstanding 1,700 shares of Series A and 1,700 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (collectively, the "Preferred Stock") of which 3,400 shares (100%) were held but not beneficially owned by Cede & Co. As of the Record Date, no other person (including any "group" as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), to the knowledge of the Board, owned beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. As of the Record Date, the officers and Board members of the Fund as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. In the event that a quorum is not present, or if sufficient votes in favor of the proposals set forth in the Notice and this proxy statement are not received by the time scheduled for the Meeting, the persons named as proxies may propose one or 2 more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to any such proposals. In determining whether to adjourn the Meeting, the following factors, among others, may be considered: the nature of the proposals that are the subject of the Meeting, the percentage of votes actually cast, the percentage of negative votes actually cast, the nature of any further solicitation and the information to be provided to shareholders with respect to the reasons for the solicitation. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the Meeting. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment those shares which they are entitled to vote in favor of such proposals and will vote against such adjournment those shares which they are entitled to vote against such proposals. OWNERS OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF THE FUND The following table shows, as of December 2, 2002, the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. This information is based on reports (Schedules 13 D and G) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") by each of the firms listed in the table below as well as information as to beneficial ownership reported to the Fund on behalf of the holder. Amount and Nature Name and Address of of Beneficial Percent* Title of Class Beneficial Owner Ownership of Class -------------- ------------------- ------------- -------- Common Stock Travelers Casualty 1,333,334 13.6% and Surety Company One Tower Square Hartford, CT 06283 - -------- * Based upon 9,781,666.667 shares outstanding as of December 2, 2002. As of the Record Date, to the knowledge of the Fund, no shares of securities issued by Salomon Smith Barney's ultimate parent corporation, Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup"), were held by Board members who are not "interested persons" of the Fund (as that term is used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")). 3 PROPOSAL NO. 1 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Board is divided into three classes. The directors currently serving in Class III have terms expiring at the Meeting; each Class III director currently serving on the Board has been nominated by the Board for reelection at the Meeting to serve for a term of three years (until the year 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders) or until his successor has been duly elected and qualified. Under the terms of the Fund's Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the "Charter"), the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled as a class, to the exclusion of the holders of Common Stock, to elect two Directors of the Fund (the "Preferred Directors"). The Charter further provides that the remaining nominees shall be elected by holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock voting together as a single class. Of those designated as Preferred Directors, Paolo M. Cucchi is the sole Preferred Director whose term is expiring at the Meeting. Therefore, the holders of the Fund's Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, are being asked to vote for Messrs. Crane and Hutchinson, and the holders of the Fund's Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, are being asked to vote for Mr. Cucchi, as directors of the Fund. The Board knows of no reason why any of the nominees listed below will be unable to serve, and each nominee has consented to serve if elected, but in the event of any such unavailability, the proxies received will be voted for such substitute nominee(s) as the Board may recommend. Certain information concerning the nominees and the directors continuing in office is set forth below. For any nominee or director indicated as owning shares of the Fund, such ownership constituted less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund as of the Record Date. All of the nominees are currently directors of the Fund. Except as indicated, each nominee or director has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the last five years.

Jay Gerken None Over $100,000 - -------- * Mr. Gerken is an "interested person" as defined in the 1940 Act. The Fund has no compensation committee of the Board, or any committee performing similar functions. The Board has an Audit Committee and a Nominating Committee, each composed of all the directors who are not "interested persons" of the Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Independent Directors"). The Independent Directors are also independent as such term is defined in the NYSE's Listed Company Manual. The Audit Committee is charged with recommending a firm of independent auditors to the Board and reviewing accounting matters as set forth in the Audit Committee's charter. The 6 Nominating Committee is charged with recommending nominees for election as Directors of the Fund. The Audit Committee held three meetings during the last fiscal year. The Board held 15 meetings during the last fiscal year, four of which were regular meetings and 11 of which were special telephonic meetings. In the last fiscal year, each of the directors attended at least 75% of the regular meetings, and each of the directors, other than Messrs. Crane and Hutchinson, attended at least 75% of the telephonic meetings of the Board. COMPENSATION Only the Independent Directors receive remuneration from the Fund for acting as directors. Aggregate fees and expenses (including reimbursement for travel and out-of-pocket expenses) of $5,205 were paid to such directors by the Fund during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. Fees for the Independent Directors are set at $5,000 per annum. In addition, the Independent Directors receive $500 for each Board meeting attended in person and $100 for each telephonic Board meeting, plus travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with Board meetings. The out-of-pocket expenses are borne equally by each individual fund, including the Fund, in the group of funds served by the same board members (the "Fund Complex"). None of the officers of the Fund received any compensation from the Fund for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. Officers and interested directors of the Fund are compensated by the Manager or by Salomon Smith Barney. The following table shows the compensation paid by the Fund to each director during the Fund's last fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 and by the Fund complex for the calendar year ended December 31, 2001: COMPENSATION TABLE Total Compensation Aggregate from Fund and Compensation Fund Complex Total Number from Fund Pension or for the of Funds for the Fiscal Retirement Calendar Year for Which Year Ended Benefits Accrued Ended Director September 30, as part of Fund December 31, Serves within Name of Person 2002 Expenses 2001 Fund Complex -------------- -------------- ---------------- ------------- ------------- Allan J.

Directors emeritus are entitled to serve in emeritus status for a maximum of 10 years during which time they are paid 50% of the annual retainer fee and meeting fees otherwise applicable to Fund directors, together with reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for each meeting attended. During the Fund's last fiscal year, total compensation paid by the Fund to directors emeritus totaled $2,800. Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act in combination require the Fund's directors and officers and persons who own more than 10% of the Fund's common stock, as well as SBFM and certain of its affiliated persons, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Such persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Fund with copies of all such filings. Based solely upon its review of the copies of such filings received by it and certain other information received by it, the Fund believes that, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, all filing requirements applicable to such persons were complied with except that timely filings were not made on behalf of Kaprel Ozsolak on Form 3 and Robert Wallace on Form 3. However, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, no purchases or sales were made by any of the foregoing people, and each has subsequently filed Forms 3. REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE The Audit Committee reports that it: (i) reviewed and discussed the Fund's audited financial statements with management; (ii) discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61; and (iii) received written confirmation from KPMG LLP ("KPMG") that it is independent and disclosures regarding such independence as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, and discussed with the auditors the auditor's independence. Based on the review and discussions referred to in items (i) through (iii) above, and subject to the limitations on the responsibilities and role of the Audit Committee as set forth in the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Fund's annual report for the Fund's fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. The membership of the Audit Committee is comprised of all of the independent directors. 8 EXECUTIVE OFFICERS The following is a list of the current executive officers of the Fund, all of whom have been elected by the Board to serve until their respective successors are elected: Offices and Positions Period Principal Occupations During Name Held with Fund Offices Held Past Five Years and Age ---- ------------------------- ------------ -------------------------------- R.

SUBMISSION OF SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS Shareholder proposals intended to be presented at the 2004 Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of the Fund must be received by September 1, 2003 to be included in the proxy statement and the form of proxy relating to that meeting, as the Fund expects that the 2004 Annual Meeting will be held in January of 2004. The submission by a shareholder of a proposal for inclusion in the proxy statement does not guarantee that it will be included. Shareholder proposals are subject to certain regulations under the federal securities laws. The persons named as proxies for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders for 2004 will have discretionary authority to vote on any matter presented by a shareholder for action at that meeting unless the Fund receives notice of the matter by November 14, 2003, in which case these persons will not have discretionary voting authority except as provided in the SEC's rules governing shareholder proposals. 10 OTHER MATTERS The Manager knows of no other matters which are to be brought before the Meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote such proxy in accordance with their judgment on such matters. All proxies received will be voted "for" Proposal 1 unless otherwise directed therein. By Order of the Board of Directors Christina T. Sydor Secretary December 23, 2002 It is important that proxies be returned promptly.
