Deutsche Global High Income Fund, Inc. Announces Additional Details Regarding Its Liquidation

Deutsche Global High Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE:LBF) (the “Fund”) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution for the Fund (the “Plan”) related to the previously approved liquidation of the Fund to occur on or before September 30, 2017. As further described below, pursuant to the Plan a final liquidating distribution is expected to be made on or about September 15, 2017.

Under the terms of the Plan, the “Cessation Date” for the Fund’s planned liquidation is expected to occur on or about September 8, 2017. As provided in the Plan, at the close of business on the Cessation Date, the Fund will cease to engage in any business activities, except for the purpose of liquidating and winding up its affairs, and the books of the Fund will be closed. Effective the business day following the Cessation Date, the Fund’s shares will not be transferable (except for the settlement of prior transactions), and it is anticipated that trading in the Fund’s shares on the New York Stock Exchange will cease. The Fund will subsequently seek to reduce all remaining portfolio securities to cash or cash equivalents and make a final liquidating distribution to shareholders on or about September 15, 2017. All Fund shareholders as of the close of business on the Cessation Date will be entitled to receive a liquidating distribution. The Cessation Date may be extended if necessary or appropriate in connection with the orderly liquidation of the Fund or to protect the interests of Fund shareholders.

Prior to the Cessation Date, the Fund intends to reduce and eliminate its financial leverage by paying back its bank line of credit. It is anticipated that the Fund’s de-levering will occur in stages over time and, subject to portfolio management’s discretion, is currently expected to be completed no later than early August. In addition, prior to the Cessation Date and subject to portfolio management’s discretion, the Fund intends to begin the process of converting its portfolio securities to more liquid investments, including cash or cash equivalents. As the Fund de-levers and begins to transition its portfolio to more liquid investments, its net investment income may decline, which, in turn, may reduce its remaining regular monthly dividends. The Fund’s last anticipated regular monthly dividend will be for the month of August. The Fund does not expect to pay its regular September monthly dividend. Any net investment income earned in September would consequently be included as part of the Fund’s final liquidating distribution to shareholders.

Important Information

Deutsche Global High Income Fund, Inc. seeks high current income with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate, credit, liquidity and market risks to varying degrees. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Floating rate loans tend to be rated below-investment-grade and may be more vulnerable to economic or business changes than issuers with investment-grade credit. Emerging markets tend to be more volatile than the markets of more mature economies, and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Investing in foreign securities presents certain risks, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic changes, and market risks. Leverage results in additional risks and can magnify the effect of any gains or losses.

Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are bought and sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to the net asset value. The price of a fund’s shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the fund. Therefore, a fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset value.
