Relatively favorable market results, despite sovereign debt concerns

The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index), a broad measure of equity markets around the world, experienced uneven performance during the fiscal year. Despite its fluctuations, the MSCI ACWI (net) gained 7% for the 12 months ended Nov. 30, 2010, trailing the S&P 500 Index, a measure of the broad stock market in the United States, which rose nearly 10% during the same time frame.

Equity-market volatility was precipitated by mounting fears about debt levels in European countries with the biggest financial challenges. The first concerns began in Greece in January 2010, as many investors became worried about the ability of the heavily indebted country to repay its financial obligations. Although the markets resumed their upward momentum in early February, an even steeper decline in global stock prices began in late April. The drop accelerated throughout the rest of the spring, as fears about Greece’s financial situation increased and many investors began to question whether the problems could spread to other economically troubled European nations with outsized debt levels, such as Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and Spain. The European Union and International Monetary Fund eventually came to the Greek government’s rescue, with a 110 billion euro (approximately $140 billion) loan package designed to keep the government afloat while it implements a series of austerity programs.

Other factors also dampened global financial markets during this time, including new economic data from the U.S. that seemed to indicate an increased potential for a stalled recovery, and the Chinese government’s efforts to slow the pace of that country’s fast-growing economy.

Beginning in early summer 2010, equities bounced back, enjoying strong gains between early July and early November, as fears about a return to recession in the U.S. eased and confidence in the strength of European banks grew. In the final month of the Fund’s fiscal year, however, financial markets encountered renewed difficulties, with Ireland’s government appearing to be on the brink of bankruptcy (source: Bloomberg). European monetary policy makers implemented emergency rescue measures in an effort to stave off the spread of this “contagion” to other challenged economies in the region.

Fixed income assets saw a generally positive backdrop during the fiscal year. Bonds were a key beneficiary of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s efforts to stimulate economic growth by keeping interest rates down. The Fed sought to accomplish this goal through several rounds of quantitative easing, in which the U.S. central bank bought back debt securities in an attempt to generally drive down yields providing more economic stimulus, through lowered cost of credit.

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) also experienced a highly supportive environment during the annual period as credit was widely available and grew less expensive as

the year went on. REITs often finance new investment and development projects through debt, and when credit is affordable, it can provide issuing companies such as REITs with increased financial flexibility. REITs rose more than 30% during the 12-month period ended Nov. 30, 2010, as measured by the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index, which tracks the performance of all publicly traded REITs on U.S. exchanges.

Meanwhile, low interest rates led to healthy results from high yield bonds, as many investors seemed willing to take on additional credit risk in exchange for higher levels of income. As such, credit spreads narrowed throughout most of the period, extending a trend of the past several years. Credit spreads are the differences between yields of Treasury bonds and riskier securities of varying credit qualities, and they provide a measure of the market’s outlook for riskier assets. The narrowing of credit spreads can generally be taken to signal a more normalized market environment. (Source: Barclays Capital.)

Fund positioning: An emphasis on credit

The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek high current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. In managing the Fund, we pursue these goals by investing broadly in a range of income-generating securities from around the globe. These include “core” fixed income holdings (such as Treasury and agency securities), as well as investment grade and high yield corporate bonds, convertible bonds, REITs, large-cap value stocks, and international value stocks.

With several notable exceptions, the Fund’s positioning remained relatively stable throughout the fiscal year. As the Fund’s fiscal year began, the Fund had a modest overweighting in credit-oriented investments. Credit exposure is most obvious in the fixed income asset class, but it also runs through a variety of other asset classes, including REITs.

For much of the Fund’s fiscal year, we felt that credit-oriented investments had good total-return characteristics, and emphasized high yield bonds in particular. At the end of the Fund’s fiscal year, high yield bonds were the Fund’s second-largest asset class weighting at roughly 25% of the portfolio, up from 18% a year earlier. The increased allocation resulted partially from market movements, but also reflected additional investments in the asset class. We favored these securities for their attractive yields and because we felt that high yield bonds could be supported by increasingly favorable economic conditions. To a lesser extent, we looked to REITs because of their credit-sensitive nature. Over time, however, as REITs gained in value and as we anticipated less-favorable credit costs going forward, we were more cautious about adding to our holdings in this asset class. In fact, the Fund’s REIT weighting declined from close to 4% of the portfolio at the beginning of the period to about 2% at period end.

The Fund’s exposure to international value stocks, the largest allocation in the Fund, slightly increased throughout the year, from about 23% at the beginning of the fiscal year to about 25% at the end. International value stocks underperformed the Fund’s other asset classes and detracted from the Fund’s overall return; however, we remain overweight in this asset class as we believe it offers good value, especially after the selloff in the last month of the fiscal year, and may provide diversification and a solid income base.

At the same time, we generally maintained sizable positions in investments nearer the top of issuers’ capital structures. In light of macroeconomic risks such as European sovereign debt troubles and the potential for higher interest rates down the road, we felt it would be prudent to own defensive income-oriented investments that would be among the first to be paid back if the issuers encountered financial problems. This approach enabled us to still capture relatively attractive yields while maintaining what we believed to be greater downside protection by avoiding lower-credit-rated securities.

Our emphasis on credit was helpful for the Fund’s performance until late in its fiscal year. When the Fed announced its second round of quantitative easing in October 2010, equity investors generally became more optimistic, and equities began outperforming (source: Bloomberg). The Fund had less exposure to stocks than to high yield and other, more credit-sensitive investments. In hindsight, our decision to maintain an overweight position in high yield was too defensive and did not allow the Fund to take full advantage of the equity market rally.

From a currency perspective, the Fund lost value over its fiscal year. During the fiscal year, however, we did not make active currency bets or hedge currencies; rather, the Fund has embedded currency exposure through foreign securities bought in local currencies. The two largest detractors on a currency basis were an overweight in euro-zone country holdings and an underweight in Japan, as the euro weakened and the Japanese yen strengthened against the U.S. dollar over the course of the Fund’s fiscal year. The negative effect on the Fund from these allocations was partially offset by our overweight in Canadian securities, as the Canadian dollar strengthened against the U.S. dollar during the Fund’s fiscal year.

A recent shift toward equities

As the Fund’s fiscal year came to a close, we were gradually seeing more investment opportunities in stocks, so we began to shift the Fund’s portfolio holdings in this direction. In our opinion, the U.S. economy appears to be slowly expanding, and credit-oriented securities, following a long run upward, have started to give back some of their gains. In this environment, we began favoring shares of large-cap companies with good cash flow and lower debt levels, because they are less credit sensitive and we believe they could benefit from an improving economy.

Diversification may not protect against market risk.

Fixed income securities and bond funds can lose value, and investors can lose principal, as interest rates rise. They also may be affected by economic conditions that hinder an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments on its debt.

The Fund may also be subject to prepayment risk, the risk that the principal of a fixed income security that is held by the Fund may be prepaid prior to maturity, potentially forcing the Fund to reinvest that money at a lower interest rate.

High yielding, noninvestment grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risk than investment grade bonds.

The Fund may invest in derivatives, which may involve additional expenses and are subject to risk, including the risk that an underlying security or securities index moves in the opposite direction from what the portfolio manager anticipated. A derivative transaction depends upon the counterparties’ ability to fulfill their contractual obligations.

Narrowly focused investments may exhibit higher volatility than investments in multiple industry sectors.

REIT investments are subject to many of the risks associated with direct real estate ownership, including changes in economic conditions, credit risk, and interest rate fluctuations.

International investments entail risks not ordinarily associated with U.S. investments including fluctuation in currency values, differences in accounting principles, or economic or political instability in other nations.

If and when the Fund invests in forward foreign currency contracts or uses other investments to hedge against currency risks, the Fund will be subject to special risks, including counterparty risk.

The Fund borrows through a line of credit for purposes of leveraging. Leveraging may result in higher degrees of volatility because the Fund’s net asset value could be subject to fluctuations in short-term interest rates and changes in market value of portfolio securities attributable to leverage.

The “Fund performance” table and the “Performance of a $10,000 investment” graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

Returns reflect the reinvestment of all distributions. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed, for the purpose of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment policy. Shares of the Fund were initially offered with a sales charge of 6%. Performance since inception does not include the sales charge or any other brokerage commission for purchases made since inception. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

1 The average shares outstanding method has been applied for per share information.

2 Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of common stock on the opening of the first day and a sale on the closing of the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for the purpose of this calculation, to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. Generally, total investment return based on net asset value will be higher than total investment return based on market value in periods where there is an increase in the discount or decrease in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods. Conversely, total investment return based on net asset value will be lower than total investment return based on market value in periods where there is a decrease in the discount or an increase in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods.

3 Adjusted average net assets excludes debt outstanding.

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Investments ® Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc.
November 30, 2010

Delaware Investments Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. (Fund) is organized as a Maryland corporation and is a diversified closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol DGF.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek high current income. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation — Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the NYSE on the valuation date. Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Short-term debt securities are valued at market value. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Other debt securities, credit default swap (CDS) contracts and interest rate swap contracts are valued by an independent pricing service or broker. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Investment company securities are valued at net asset value per share. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes — No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (November 30, 2007 – November 30, 2010), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.

Distributions — 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 investment 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. Even though the Fund may realize current year capital gains, such gains may be offset, in whole or in part, by the Fund’s capital loss carryovers from prior years. For federal income tax purposes, the effect of such capital loss carryovers may be to convert (to the extent of such current year gains) what would otherwise be returns of capital into distributions taxable as ordinary income. This tax effect can occur during times of extended market volatility. Shareholders should receive written notification regarding the actual components and tax treatments of all Fund distributions for the calendar year 2010 in early 2011.

Foreign Currency Transactions — Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar daily. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund isolates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities, which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. For foreign equity securities, these changes are included in realized gains (losses) on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other — Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income.

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Investments ® Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Discounts and premiums on non-convertible bonds are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all non-rebatable tax withholdings. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and interest have been recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. Such commission rebates are included in realized gain on investments in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $295 for the year ended November 30, 2010. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement accorded the order, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction. DMC, as defined below and its affiliates have previously and may in the future act as an investment advisor to mutual funds or separate accounts affiliated with the administrator of the commission recapture program described above. In addition, affiliates of the administrator act as consultants in helping institutional clients choose investment advisors and may also participate in other types of business and provide other services in the investment management industry.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from their custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. There were no earnings credits for the year ended November 30, 2010.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its transfer agent when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset transfer agent fees. There were no earnings credits for the year ended November 30, 2010.

2. Investment Management, Administration Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

In accordance with the terms of its Investment Management Agreement, the Fund pays Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust and the investment manager, an annual fee of 0.70% (calculated daily) of the adjusted average weekly net assets of the Fund. For purposes of the calculation of investment management fees, adjusted average weekly net assets excludes the line of credit liability.

Delaware Service Company, Inc. (DSC), an affiliate of DMC, provides fund accounting and financial administration oversight services to the Fund. For these services, the Fund pays DSC fees based on the aggregate daily net assets of the Delaware Investments ® Family of Funds at the following annual rate: 0.0050% of the first $30 billion; 0.0045% of the next $10 billion; 0.0040% of the next $10 billion; and 0.0025% of adjusted average daily net assets in excess of $50 billion. The fees payable to DSC under the service agreement described above are allocated among all Funds in the Delaware Investments Family of Funds on a relative net asset value basis. For the year ended November 30, 2010, the Fund was charged $2,243 for these services.

At November 30, 2010, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

Investment management fee payable to DMC	$	26,635
Fees and other expenses payable to DSC		189
Other expenses payable to DMC and affiliates*		1,615

*DMC, as part of its administrative services, pays operating expenses on behalf of the Fund and is reimbursed on a periodic basis. These expenses include items such as printing of shareholder reports, fees for audit, legal and tax services, stock exchange fees, custodian fees and Directors’ fees.

As provided in the investment management agreement, the Fund bears the cost of certain legal and tax services, including internal legal and tax services provided to the Fund by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees. For the year ended November 30, 2010, the Fund was charged $1,253 for internal legal and tax services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees.

3. Investments

For the year ended November 30, 2010, the Fund made purchases of $22,212,769 and sales of $23,831,388 of investment securities other than U.S. government securities and short-term investments. For the year ended November 30, 2010, the Fund made purchases of $271,679, and sales of $273,945 of long-term U.S. government securities.

At November 30, 2010, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $49,447,952. At November 30, 2010, net unrealized appreciation was $257,703, of which $4,439,328 related to unrealized appreciation of investments and $4,181,625 related to unrealized depreciation of investments.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the

reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Fund’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1	–	inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g. equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2	–	other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g. debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3	–	inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g. broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities) The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of November 30, 2010:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Common Stock	$	13,846,004	$	9,346,083	$	1	$	23,192,088

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which introduced new disclosure requirements and clarified certain existing disclosure requirements around fair value measurements currently presented above. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are generally effective for the Fund’s fiscal year ending November 30, 2010, and interim periods therein. Utilizing international fair value pricing for a security could cause transfers from Level 1 investments to Level 2 investments in the hierarchy. During the year ended November 30, 2010, transfers out of Level 3 investments into Level 2 investments were made in the amount of $217,820 for the Fund. This was due to the Fund’s pricing vendor being able to supply matrix prices for an investment that had been utilizing broker quoted prices. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2010, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that had a material impact on the Fund.

Delaware Investments ® Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc.

4. Dividend and Distribution Information

Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Additionally, distributions from net gains on foreign currency transactions and net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended November 30, 2010 and 2009 was as follows:

	Year Ended
	11/30/10		11/30/09
Ordinary income	$	2,394,732	$	1,978,297
Return of capital		1,007,679		1,645,361
Total	$	3,402,411	$	3,623,658

5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis

As of November 30, 2010, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

Shares of beneficial interest	$	43,323,047
Capital loss carrryforwards		(8,984,730	)
Other temporary differences		(104,306	)
Unrealized appreciation of investments
and foreign currencies		247,670
Net assets	$	34,481,681

The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, contingent payment debt instruments, mark-to-market of forward foreign currency contracts, tax treatment of partnership income and market discount and premium on debt instruments.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, dividends and distributions, market discount and premium on certain debt instruments and contingent payment debt instruments. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended November 30, 2010 the Fund recorded the following reclassifications:

Distributions in excess of net investment income	$	892,396
Accumulated net realized gain		699,358
Paid-in capital		(1,591,754	)

For federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. $1,565,061 was utilized in 2010. Capital loss carryforwards remaining at November 30, 2010 will expire as follows: $4,555,963 expires in 2016 and $4,428,769 expires in 2017.

6. Capital Stock

Shares obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan are purchased by the Fund’s transfer agent, The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon) Shareowner Services, in the open market. There were no shares issued under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan for the years ended November 30, 2010 and 2009.

On May 21, 2009, the Fund’s Board approved a tender offer for shares of the Fund’s common stock. The tender offer authorized the Fund to purchase up to 5% of its issued and outstanding shares at a price equal to the Fund’s net asset value at the close of business on the NYSE on June 29, 2009, the first business day following the expiration of the offer. The tender offer commenced on June 1, 2009 and expired on June 26, 2009.

In connection with the tender offer, the Fund purchased 259,528 shares of capital stock at a total cost of approximately $1,531,217. The tender offer was oversubscribed and all tenders of shares were subject to pro-ration (at a ratio approximately 0.578412712) in accordance with the terms of the tender offer.

The Fund did not repurchase shares under the Share Repurchase Program during the years ended November 30, 2010 and 2009.

7. Line of Credit

For the year ended November 30, 2010, the Fund borrowed money pursuant to a $17,000,000 Credit Agreement with BNY Mellon that expires on November 28, 2011. Depending on market conditions, the amount borrowed by the Fund pursuant to the Credit Agreement may be reduced or possibly increased in the future.

At November 30, 2010, the par value of loans outstanding was $10,725,000 at a variable interest rate of 1.45%. During the year ended November 30, 2010, the average daily balance of loans outstanding was $10,725,000 at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.43%. Interest on borrowings is based on a variable short-term rate plus an applicable margin. The commitment fee is computed at a rate of 0.25% per annum on the unused balance. The loan is collateralized by the Fund’s portfolio.

8. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures that enable investors to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives, 2) how they are accounted for, and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. The change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although foreign currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

9. Securities Lending

The Fund, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with BNY Mellon. With respect to each loan, if on any business day the aggregate market value of securities collateral plus cash collateral held is less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are the subject of such loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral by the end of the following business day which, together with the collateral already held, will be not less than the applicable collateral requirements for such security loan. If the aggregate market value of securities collateral and cash collateral held with respect to a security loan exceeds the applicable collateral requirement, upon the request of the borrower BNY Mellon must return enough collateral to the borrower by the end of the following business day to reduce the value of the remaining collateral to the applicable collateral requirement for such security loan. As a result of the foregoing, the value of the collateral held with respect to a loaned security may be temporarily more or less than the value of the security on loan.

Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Delaware Investments Collateral Fund No. 1 (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of funds managed by DMC that participate in BNY Mellon’s securities lending program. The Collective Trust may invest in U.S. government securities and high quality corporate debt, asset-backed and other money market securities and in repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities, provided that the Collective Trust will generally have a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 60 days or less. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. The Fund may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust or another collateral investment pool. This could occur if an investment in a collateral investment pool defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the collateral investment pool to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the collateral investment pool’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Fund may not receive an amount from the collateral investment pool that is equal in amount to the collateral the Fund would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Fund would be required to make up this shortfall. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon transferred the assets of the Fund’s previous collateral investment pool other than cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less to the BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund), effectively bifurcating the previous collateral investment pool. The Fund’s exposure to the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Fund’s assets mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the previous collateral investment pool into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Fund can also accept U.S. government securities and letters of credit (non-cash collateral) in connection with securities loans. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the lending agent, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. In the event the borrower fails to return loaned securities and the collateral received is insufficient to cover the value of the loaned securities and provided such collateral shortfall is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Fund, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Fund continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Fund receives loan premiums paid by the borrower. With respect to security loans collateralized by cash collateral, the earnings from the collateral investments are shared among the Fund, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Fund records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.

At November 30, 2010, the value of securities on loan was $5,334,459, for which the Fund received collateral, comprised of non-cash collateral valued at $28,719 and cash collateral of $5,615,493. At November 30, 2010, the value of invested collateral was $5,539,129. Investments purchased with cash collateral are presented on the statement of net assets under the caption “Securities Lending Collateral.”

10. Credit and Market Risk

The Fund borrows through its line of credit for purposes of leveraging. Leveraging may result in higher degrees of volatility because the Fund’s net asset value could be subject to fluctuations in short-term interest rates and changes in market value of portfolio securities attributable to the leverage.

10. Credit and Market Risk (continued)

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund holds real estate directly as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company may be jeopardized. There were no direct real estate holdings during the year ended November 30, 2010. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund invests in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated lower than BBB- by Standard & Poor’s and Baa 3 by Moody’s Investor Services, or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment grade securities.

The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Fund’s Board has delegated to DMC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the 10% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities have been identified on the statement of net assets.

11. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

12. Subsequent Events

Management has determined no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to November 30, 2010 that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

13. Tax Information (Unaudited)

The information set forth below is for the Fund’s fiscal year as required by federal income tax laws. Shareholders, however, must report distributions on a calendar year basis for income tax purposes, which may include distributions for portions of two fiscal years of the Fund. Accordingly, the information needed by shareholders for income tax purposes will be sent to them in January of each year. Please consult your tax advisor for proper treatment of this information.

For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2010, the Fund designates distributions paid during the year as follows:

(A)
Ordinary	(B)
Income	Return	Total	(C)
Distributions*	of Capital	Distributions	Qualifying
(Tax Basis)	(Tax Basis)	(Tax Basis)	Dividends 1
70.38%	29.62%	100.00%	32.65%

(A) and (B) are based on a percentage of the Fund’s total distributions.

1 Qualifying dividends represent dividends which qualify for the corporate dividends received deduction.

*For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2010, certain dividends paid by the Fund may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. The Fund intends to designate the $234,814 to be taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. Complete information will be computed and reported in conjunction with your 2009 or 2010 Form 1099-DIV.

Dividend reinvestment plan

The Fund offers an automatic dividend reinvestment program (“Plan”). Shareholders who have shares registered in their own names are eligible to elect to participate in the Plan by contacting BNY Mellon Shareowner Services at 800 851-9677. Shareholders who hold their shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee should request the bank, broker, or nominee to participate in the Plan on their behalf. This can be done as long as the bank, broker, or nominee provides a dividend reinvestment service for the Fund. If the bank, broker, or nominee does not provide this service, such shareholders must have their shares taken out of “street” or nominee name and re-registered in their own name in order to participate in the Plan. Shareholders will receive their Distributions (as defined below) in cash unless they notify BNY Mellon Shareowner Services or their bank, broker, or nominee of their desire to enroll in the Plan.

BNY Mellon Shareowner Services will apply all cash dividends, capital gains and other distributions (collectively, “Distributions”) on the Fund’s shares of common stock which become payable to each Plan participant to the purchase of outstanding shares of the Fund’s common stock for such participant. These purchases may be made on a securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market, and may be subject to such terms of price, delivery, and related matters to which BNY Mellon Shareowner Services may agree. The Fund will not issue new shares in connection with the Plan.

Distributions reinvested for participants are subject to income taxes just as if they had been paid directly to the shareholder in cash. Participants will receive a year-end statement showing distributions reinvested, and any brokerage commissions paid on such participant’s behalf.

Shareholders holding shares of the Fund in their own names who wish to terminate their participation in the Plan may do so by sending written instruction to BNY Mellon Shareowner Services so that BNY Mellon Shareowner Services receives such instructions at least 10 days prior to the Distribution record date. Shareholders with shares held in account by a bank, broker, or other nominee should contact such bank, broker, or other nominee to determine the procedure for withdrawal from the Plan.

If written instructions are not received by BNY Mellon Shareowner Services at least 10 days prior to the record date for a particular Distribution, that Distribution may be reinvested at the sole discretion of BNY Mellon Shareowner Services. After a shareholder’s instructions to terminate participation in the Plan become effective, Distributions will be paid to shareholders in cash. Upon termination, a shareholder may elect to receive either stock or cash for all the full shares in the account. If cash is elected, BNY Mellon Shareowner Services will sell such shares at the then current market value and then send the net proceeds to the shareholder, after deducting brokerage commissions and related expenses. Any fractional shares at the time of termination will be paid in cash at the current market price, less brokerage commissions and related expenses, if any. Shareholders may at any time request a full or partial withdrawal of shares from the Plan, without terminating participation in the Plan. When shares outside of the Plan are liquidated, Distributions on shares held under the Plan will continue to be reinvested unless BNY Mellon Shareowner Services is notified of the shareholder’s withdrawal from the Plan.

Dividend reinvestment plan (continued)

An investor holding shares that participate in the Plan in a brokerage account may not be able to transfer the shares to another broker and continue to participate in the Plan. Please contact your broker/dealer for additional details.

BNY Mellon Shareowner Services will charge participants their proportional share of brokerage commissions on market purchases. Participants may obtain a certificate or certificates for all or part of the full shares credited to their accounts at any time by making a request in writing to BNY Mellon Shareowner Services. A fee may be charged to the participant for each certificate issuance.

If you have any questions and shares are registered in your name, contact BNY Mellon Shareowner Services at 800 851-9677 or P.O. Box 358035, Pittsburgh, PA 15252-8035. If you have any questions and shares are registered in “street” name, contact the broker/dealer holding the shares or your financial advisor.

Effective August 1, 2008, the Dividend Reinvestment Plan may be amended by the Fund upon twenty days written notice to the Plan’s participants.

Change in independent registered public accounting firm

Due to independence matters under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s auditor independence rules relating to the January 4, 2010 acquisition of Delaware Investments (including DMC and DSC) by Macquarie Group, Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) has resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for Delaware Investments ® Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) effective May 20, 2010. At a meeting held on May 20, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Fund, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2010. During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, E&Y’s audit reports on the financial statements of the Fund did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In addition, there were no disagreements between the Fund and E&Y on accounting principles, financial statements disclosures or audit scope, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement in their reports. Neither the Fund nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with PwC at any time prior to their selection with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Fund’s financial statements.

The Adviser has established a Proxy Voting Committee (the “Committee”) which is responsible for overseeing the Adviser’s proxy voting process for the registrant. One of the main responsibilities of the Committee is to review and approve the Procedures to ensure that the Procedures are designed to allow the Adviser to vote proxies in a manner consistent with the goal of voting in the best interests of the registrant.

In order to facilitate the actual process of voting proxies, the Adviser has contracted with Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of RiskMetrics Group ("RiskMetrics"), to analyze proxy statements on behalf of the registrant and other Adviser clients and vote proxies generally in accordance with the Procedures. The Committee is responsible for overseeing ISS/RiskMetrics’s proxy voting activities. If a proxy has been voted for the registrant, ISS/RiskMetrics will create a record of the vote. By no later than August 31 of each year, information (if any) regarding how the registrant voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recently disclosed 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge (i) through the registrant’s Web site at http://www.delawareinvestments.com; and (ii) on the Commission’s Web site at http://www.sec.gov.

The Procedures contain a general guideline that recommendations of company management on an issue (particularly routine issues) should be given a fair amount of weight in determining how proxy issues should be voted. However, the Adviser will normally vote against management’s position when it runs counter to its specific Proxy Voting Guidelines (the “Guidelines”), and the Adviser will also vote against management’s recommendation when it believes that such position is not in the best interests of the registrant.

As stated above, the Procedures also list specific Guidelines on how to vote proxies on behalf of the registrant. Some examples of the Guidelines are as follows: (i) generally vote for shareholder proposals asking that a majority or more of directors be independent; (ii) generally vote against proposals to require a supermajority shareholder vote; (iii) votes on mergers and acquisitions should be considered on a case-by-case basis, determining whether the transaction enhances shareholder value; (iv) generally vote against proposals to create a new class of common stock with superior voting rights; (v) generally vote re-incorporation proposals on a case-by-case basis; (vi) votes with respect to equity-based compensation plans are generally determined on a case-by-case basis; and (vii) generally vote for proposals requesting reports on the level of greenhouse gas emissions from a company’s operations and products.

Because the registrant has delegated proxy voting to the Adviser, the registrant is not expected to encounter any conflict of interest issues regarding proxy voting and therefore does not have procedures regarding this matter. However, the Adviser does have a section in its Procedures that addresses the possibility of conflicts of interest. Most proxies which the Adviser receives on behalf of the registrant are voted by ISS/RiskMetrics in accordance with the Procedures. Because almost all registrant proxies are voted by ISS/RiskMetrics pursuant to the pre-determined Procedures, it normally will not be necessary for the Adviser to make an actual determination of how to vote a particular proxy, thereby largely eliminating conflicts of interest for the Adviser during the proxy voting process. In the very limited instances where the Adviser is considering voting a proxy contrary to ISS/RiskMetrics’s recommendation, the Committee will first assess the issue to see if there is any possible conflict of interest involving the Adviser or affiliated persons of the Adviser. If a member of the Committee has actual knowledge of a conflict of interest, the Committee will normally use another independent third party to do additional research on the particular proxy issue in order to make a recommendation to the Committee on how to vote the proxy in the best interests of the registrant. The Committee will then review the proxy voting materials and recommendation provided by ISS/RiskMetrics and the independent third party to determine how to vote the issue in a manner which the Committee believes is consistent with the Procedures and in the best interests of the registrant.

DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Individual portfolio managers may perform investment management services for other funds or accounts similar to those provided to the Funds and the investment action for such other fund or account and the Funds may differ. For example, an account or fund may be selling a security, while another account or Fund may be purchasing or holding the same security. As a result, transactions executed for one fund or account may adversely affect the value of securities held by another fund, account or Fund. Additionally, the management of multiple other funds or accounts and the Funds may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, as a portfolio manager must allocate time and effort to multiple funds or accounts and the Funds. A portfolio manager may discover an investment opportunity that may be suitable for more than one account or fund. The investment opportunity may be limited, however, so that all funds or accounts for which the investment would be suitable may not be able to participate. The Manager has adopted procedures designed to allocate investments fairly across multiple funds or accounts.

One of the accounts managed by the portfolio managers have a performance-based fee. This compensation structure presents a potential conflict of interest. The portfolio manager has an incentive to manage this account so as to enhance its performance, to the possible detriment of other accounts for which the investment manager does not receive a performance-based fee.

A portfolio manager’s management of personal accounts also may present certain conflicts of interest. While Delaware’s code of ethics is designed to address these potential conflicts, there is no guarantee that it will do so.

Compensation Structure
Each portfolio’s manager’s compensation consists of the following:

Base Salary - Each named portfolio manager receives a fixed base salary. Salaries are determined by a comparison to industry data prepared by third parties to ensure that portfolio manager salaries are in line with salaries paid at peer investment advisory firms.

Bonus – (Mr. Nutt, Ms. Bartholdson, Mr. Lalvani, Mr. Lombardi and Mr. Vogel only) Each named portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The bonus pool is determined by the revenues associated with the products a portfolio manager manages. Delaware keeps a percentage of the revenues and the remaining percentage of revenues (minus appropriate expenses associated with relevant product and the investment management team) create the "bonus pool" for the product. Various members of the team have the ability to earn a percentage of the bonus pool with the most senior contributor having the largest share. The pool is allotted based on subjective factors and objective factors. The primary objective factor is the performance of the funds managed relative to the performance of the appropriate Lipper peer groups and the performance of institutional composites relative to the appropriate indices. Performance is measured as the result of one's standing in the Lipper peer groups on a one-year, three-year and five-year basis. Three-year and five-year performance is weighted more heavily and there is no objective award for a fund whose performance falls below the 50th percentile for a given time period.

Individual allocations of the bonus pool are based on individual performance measurements, both objective and subjective, as determined by senior management.

(Mr. Bassion and Mr. Gray only) Each named portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The bonus pool is determined by the revenues associated with the products a portfolio manager manages. Delaware keeps a percentage of the revenues and the remaining percentage of revenues (minus appropriate expenses associated with relevant product and the investment management team) create the "bonus pool" for the product. Various members of the team have the ability to earn a percentage of the bonus pool with the most senior contributor having the largest share. The pool is allotted based on subjective factors (50%) and objective factors (50%). The primary objective factor is the performance of the funds managed relative to the performance of the appropriate Lipper peer groups and the performance of institutional composites relative to the appropriate indices. Performance is measured as the result of one’s standing in the Lipper peer groups on a one-year, three-year and five-year basis. Three-year and five-year performance are weighted more heavily and there is no objective award for a fund whose performance falls below the 50 th percentile for a given time period.

Individual allocations of the bonus pool are based on individual performance measurements, both objective and subjective, as determined by senior management.

(Mr. Andres and Mr. Zenouzi only) Each named portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The bonus pool is determined by the revenues associated with the products a portfolio manager manages. Delaware keeps a percentage of the revenues and the remaining percentage of revenues (minus appropriate expenses associated with relevant product and the investment management team) create the "bonus pool" for the product. Various members of the team have the ability to earn a percentage of the bonus pool with the most senior contributor having the largest share. The pool is allotted based on subjective factors (50%) and objective factors (50%). The primary objective factor is the performance of the funds managed relative to the performance of the appropriate Lipper peer groups and the performance of institutional composites relative to the appropriate indices. Performance is measured as the result of one’s standing in the Lipper peer groups on a one-year, three-year and five-year basis. Three-year and five-year performance is weighed more heavily and there is no objective award for a fund whose performance falls below the 50th percentile for a given time period.

Individual allocations of the bonus pool are based on individual performance measurements, both objective and subjective, as determined by senior management.

(Mr. Anglace, Mr. Chow, Mr. Early and Mr. Loome only) Due to transitioning of responsibilities of our fixed income managers over the past year, some of the managers’ bonuses may have been guaranteed for the past year. It is anticipated that going forward an objective component will be added to the bonus for each manager that is reflective of account performance relative to an appropriate peer group or database. The following paragraph describes the structure of the non-guaranteed bonus.

Each portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus, which is based on quantitative and qualitative factors. There is one pool for bonus payments for the fixed income department. The amount of the pool for bonus payments is determined by assets managed (including investment companies, insurance product-related accounts and other separate accounts), management fees and related expenses (including fund waiver expenses) for registered investment companies, pooled vehicles, and managed separate accounts. Generally, 60%-75% of the bonus is quantitatively determined. For more senior portfolio managers, a higher percentage of the bonus is quantitatively determined. For investment companies, each manager is compensated according the Fund’s Lipper or Morningstar peer group percentile ranking on a one-year, three-year, and five-year basis, with longer-term performance more heavily weighted. For managed separate accounts the portfolio managers are compensated according to the composite percentile ranking against the Frank Russell and Callan Associates databases (or similar sources of relative performance data) on a one-year, three-year, and five-year basis, with longer term performance more heavily weighted. There is no objective award for a fund that falls below the 50 th percentile, but incentives reach maximum potential at the 25 th -30 th percentile. There is a sliding scale for investment companies that are ranked above the 50 th percentile. The remaining 25%-40% portion of the bonus is discretionary as determined by Delaware Investments and takes into account subjective factors.

For new and recently transitioned portfolio managers, the compensation may be weighted more heavily towards a portfolio manager’s actual contribution and ability to influence performance, rather than longer-term performance. Management intends to move the compensation structure towards longer-term performance for these portfolio managers over time.

Incentive Plan/Equity Compensation Plan — Portfolio managers may be awarded options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, and performance awards (collectively, “Awards”) relating to the underlying shares of common stock of Delaware Investments U.S., Inc. pursuant to the terms of the Delaware Investments U.S., Inc. 2009 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) established on March 24, 2009. Since the establishment of the Plan, Awards are no longer granted under the Amended and Restated Delaware Investments U.S., Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan effective December 26, 2008, which was established in 2001.

The Plan was established in order to: assist the Manager in attracting, retaining, and rewarding key employees of the company; enable such employees to acquire or increase an equity interest in the company in order to align the interest of such employees and the Manager; and provide such employees with incentives to expend their maximum efforts. Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable award agreements, Awards typically vest in 25% increments on a four-year schedule, and shares of common stock underlying the Awards are issued after vesting. Shares issued typically must be held for six months and one day, after which time the stockholder may put them back to the company, subject to any applicable holding requirements. The fair market value of the shares of Delaware Investments U.S., Inc., is normally determined as of each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. The fair market value of shares of common stock underlying Awards granted on or after December 26, 2008 is determined by an independent appraiser utilizing an appraisal valuation methodology in compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The fair market value of shares of common stock underlying Awards granted prior to December 26, 2008 is determined by an independent appraiser utilizing a formula-based valuation methodology.

Other Compensation - Portfolio managers may also participate in benefit plans and programs available generally to all employees.

Ownership of Securities
As of November 30, 2010, the portfolio managers did not own any shares of the Fund.
