Strategies Fund Inc. (NYSE American: NHS), Neuberger Berman MLP and Energy Income Fund Inc. (NYSE American: NML), Neuberger Berman Municipal Fund Inc. (NYSE American: NBH), Neuberger Berman New York Municipal Fund Inc. (NYSE American: NBO) and
Neuberger Berman Real Estate Securities Income Fund Inc. (NYSE American: NRO) (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) announced today that, due to the public health impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and to support the health
and safety of each Fund’s stockholders, each Fund’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders (each, a “Meeting” and, collectively, the “Meetings”) has been changed to a virtual meeting format and will no longer provide for in-person participation.
As previously announced, the Joint Annual Meeting of Stockholders of each of NBW, NML, NBH, NBO and NRO will be held on Thursday,
October 29, 2020, at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time and the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of NHS will be held on Thursday, October 29, 2020, at 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time. In light of public health concerns regarding COVID-19, each Meeting will be held
in a virtual meeting format only. Each Meeting will be accessible solely by means of remote communication.
As described in the proxy materials for each Meeting that were previously distributed to stockholders, each Fund’s Board of
Directors has fixed the close of business on August 6, 2020, as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at each Meeting or at any adjournments or postponements thereof. If you held shares of a Fund
through an intermediary (such as a broker-dealer) as of August 6, 2020, in order to participate in and vote at a Meeting, you must first obtain a legal proxy from your intermediary reflecting your Fund’s name(s), the number of Fund shares you
held as of August 6, 2020, and your name and email address. You may forward an email from your intermediary containing the legal proxy or attach an image of the legal proxy, email it to AST Fund Solutions, LLC (“AST”)
at attendameeting@astfinancial.com and put “Legal Proxy” in the subject line. Requests for registration must be received by AST no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, October 28, 2020. After receiving the appropriate information, AST
will then email you the conference call dial-in information and instructions for voting during the Meeting.
If you were a record holder of shares of a Fund as of August 6, 2020 (i.e., you held shares of a Fund directly in an account with
the Fund’s transfer agent), you can participate in and vote at a Meeting or at any adjournments or postponements thereof. To do so, please email AST at attendameeting@astfinancial.com no later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, October 28,
2020. Please include your Fund’s name(s) in the subject line and provide your name and address in
the body of the e-mail. After receiving the appropriate information, AST will then email you the conference call dial-in information and instructions
for voting during the Meeting.
Stockholders of each Fund are not required to attend a Meeting to vote. Whether or not stockholders plan to attend a Meeting,
each Fund urges its stockholders to authorize a proxy to vote their shares in advance of a Meeting by one of the methods described in the proxy materials for the Meeting. In connection with the Meetings, each Fund has filed a definitive Proxy
Statement and additional proxy solicitation materials, if any, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Stockholders are advised to read the Proxy Statement and any additional proxy solicitation materials as they contain important
information. All proxy materials are available on the Internet at https://vote.proxyonline.com.
