PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today, Delaware
Investments Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), a
New York Stock Exchange-listed closed-end fund trading under the
symbol "DGF," declares a monthly dividend of $0.0575 per share.
This dividend is payable January 29, 2010, to shareholders of
record at the close of business on January 15, 2010. The
ex-dividend date will be January 13, 2010. The Fund is a
diversified, closed-end fund. The primary investment objective is
to seek high current income; capital appreciation is a secondary
objective. The Fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing,
under normal circumstances, at least 50% of its total assets in
income-generating equity securities, including dividend-paying
common stocks, convertible securities, preferred stocks, and other
equity-related securities of U.S. and foreign issuers. Up to 50% of
the Fund's total assets may be invested in nonconvertible debt
securities consisting primarily of government and high yield, high
risk corporate bonds of U.S. and foreign issuers. Under normal
market conditions, the Fund will invest: (1) at least 50% of its
total assets in securities of U.S. issuers; and (2) at least 40% of
its assets (including leveraged assets) in securities of non-U.S.
issuers, unless market conditions are not deemed favorable by the
Manager, in which case the Fund would invest at least 30% of its
assets (including leveraged assets) in securities of non-U.S.
issuers. The Fund may not, however, invest more than 50% of its
total assets in the securities of any developed or emerging markets
foreign country. The Fund utilizes leveraging techniques in an
attempt to obtain higher return for the Fund. There is no assurance
that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives. The Fund has
implemented a managed distribution policy. Under the policy, the
Fund is managed with a goal of generating as much of the
distribution as possible from net investments income and short-term
capital gains. The balance of the distribution will then come from
long-term capital gains to the extent permitted and, if necessary,
a return of capital. About Delaware Investments: Delaware
