GLOBAL INCOME FUND, INC. ANNOUNCES EFFECTIVENESS OF DELISTING ITS COMMON STOCK
New York (April 7, 2008) – Global Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) today announced that the withdrawal of the Fund’s listing of its common stock from the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) became effective today.
The Fund expects that delisting will allow management to focus its resources on pursuing the Fund’s investment objectives and position the Fund to enhance long term stockholder value. The Fund will continue to maintain its investment company registration and update its stockholders with financial information as required.
Although the Fund’s common stock no longer will be quoted on the AMEX and the Fund can provide no assurance that trading in the stock will continue, the common stock will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under symbol GIFD and on the Pink Sheets LLC (“Pink Sheets”) under symbol GIFD.PK to the extent market makers commit to make a market in the Fund’s shares. The OTCBB and Pink Sheets are electronic networks through which participating broker-dealers can make markets and enter orders to buy and sell shares of issuers. They are centralized quotation services that collect and publish market maker quotes in real time primarily through their websites, www.otcbb.com and www.pinksheets.com, which provide stock and bond price quotes, financial news, and information about securities traded.
The primary investment objective of Global Income Fund, Inc. is to provide for its shareholders a high level of income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The Fund pursues its investment objectives by investing primarily in a global portfolio of investment grade fixed income securities and closed end funds that invest significantly in income producing securities. The Fund is managed by CEF Advisers, Inc., a subsidiary of Winmill & Co. Incorporated, which is engaged through subsidiaries in stock market and gold investing through its investment management of equity and gold mutual funds, and closed end funds.
