PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT AND VOTE THE WHITE

PROXY CARD FOR NBH’S CURRENT DIRECTORS

•	Your vote is important, no matter how many shares you own.  Every vote is important.  We urge you to support your Fund’s nominees who are focused on the best interest of ALL stockholders and dedicated to enhancing the value of your investment.

•	Saba Capital Master Fund Ltd., a hedge fund managed by Saba Capital Management, L.P. (together, “Saba”), has submitted a nominee for election as a director on your Fund’s Board.

•	Saba is an opportunistic hedge fund manager focused only on its own interests and not the interests of all stockholders.

•	Your Fund’s Board believes that Saba seeks to disrupt the experienced and reliable oversight provided by your Fund’s Board for its own gain and does not care about impairing your Fund and limiting its long-term investment potential.

•	Your Fund’s Board believes that if Saba’s nominee is elected, he will harm the Fund and may hinder its ability to generate competitive investment returns in the future.

•	Unlike prior years, stockholders may receive multiple proxy cards this year. It is important that you vote and return all WHITE proxy cards and DO NOT return any GOLD proxy card(s) sent by Saba.

Dear Stockholder:

The Board of Directors of the Fund is unanimously urging you to vote FOR the re-election of your Board’s highly qualified and experienced current Directors:

Marc Gary

–	A highly regarded attorney that served as the Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Fidelity Investments, among other distinguished roles.

–	Serves as the Chair of the Fund’s Ethics and Compliance Committee.

Martha Goss

–	A tenured financial services professional that has held multiple senior executive positions, including with a major insurance company (Prudential) and consulting firm (Booz Allen).

–	Serves as the Chair of the Fund’s Governance and Nominating Committee and Vice Chair of the Fund’s Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The incumbent directors each currently also serve on the Board of Directors for four other Neuberger Berman closed-end funds.  They are highly experienced in matters affecting closed-end funds and, with respect to those funds, have taken a variety of actions designed to enhance stockholder value.  These include the following actions:

–	approving certain discount mitigation measures, such as individual tender offers or tender option programs where a fund would conduct a tender offer if its market price traded at a certain discount level compared to its NAV;

–	managing the funds’ distribution rates and making changes in distribution rates, when necessary;

–	approving fund mergers;

–	actively managing leverage structures to best position funds to maintain levered exposure at a reasonable cost; and

–	making changes to funds’ investment strategies when they believe a different strategy would enhance investor return potential without undue risk.

We Plan to Vigorously Defend YOUR FUND!

_______________________________

Your Fund has retained EQ Fund Solutions, (“EQ”) as its proxy solicitor.  If representatives of EQ call you, they will clearly identify themselves as the proxy solicitor for the Fund.

We urge you to VOTE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF YOUR FUND'S NOMINEES (PROPOSAL 1) by filling out and signing the enclosed WHITE PROXY CARD and returning it to us in the enclosed postage-paid envelope or voting online or by phone using the instructions on the WHITE PROXY CARD.  Do not vote for the Saba nominee or sign or return any proxy card sent to you by Saba.

YOUR FUND NEEDS ALL OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS TO VOTE – NOT VOTING HELPS DISSIDENT SABA AND WE BELIEVE WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE LONG-TERM PROSPECTS OF THE FUND.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND BACK SABA'S GOLD PROXY CARD, even to withhold votes on Saba’s nominee, as this may cancel any prior vote for your Fund's nominees.  If you have already returned Saba’s gold proxy card, you can still support your Board and your Fund by returning the enclosed WHITE PROXY CARD.  Only your latest dated proxy card submission will count.

If you have any questions, please contact our proxy solicitor:
