Good (morning, afternoon, evening), my name is (AGENT'S FULL NAME).
May I please speak with (SHAREHOLDER'S FULL NAME)?
(Re-Greet If Necessary)
I am calling on a recorded line regarding your current investment with Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund. You should have received a proxy statement and a WHITE proxy card for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for August 22, 2018. Do you still have Management's WHITE proxy card?
(Pause For Response)
STILL HAS WHITE CARD: (Proceed)
DOESN'T HAVE WHITE PROXY CARD:
Registered Holder - We will be happy to send you an additional WHITE proxy card. (Proceed)
Beneficial Holder – Please contact your broker for an additional proxy card. Be sure to inform them that you need the WHITE proxy card representing management. (Proceed)
The Board of Trustees greatly appreciates your support and is asking shareholders to vote using only Management's WHITE proxy card to vote in support of the nine incumbent nominees to the Board and against the shareholder proposal. The Board urges shareholders to disregard any proxy card sent to you by Saba Capital, an activist hedge fund group.
Your Fund's Board believes strongly that your Fund is best able to serve the interests of all shareholders and to achieve the Fund's investment objectives if it continues as a closed-end fund.
Your Board has taken significant steps to enhance the value of your investment in the Fund, including (i) implementing a managed distribution policy; (ii) announcing a tender offer for up to 20% of Fund shares to be completed in the fourth quarter of this year; and (iii) announcing annual tender offers whenever the market price discount to NAV exceeds 10% during a designated measurement period, commencing in 2019.
The Board plans to fight vigorously against Saba's demands and will not be pressured by Saba into making decisions that jeopardize the Fund and your investment.
Do you think that you will be returning the WHITE proxy card in support of the Board and in maintaining the Fund as a closed-end fund?
(Pause For Response)
YES OR POSITIVE RESPONSE:
Thank you. Please vote promptly by internet or telephone by following the instructions on the WHITE proxy card or voting instruction form you received to ensure your shares are counted at the meeting. Remember, even if you have already sent back Saba's proxy card, you can still support your Board by sending back the WHITE proxy card before the August 22nd meeting date. If you have any questions, or you require any assistance, please feel free to call 1-800-207-2872 Monday thru Friday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern Time. Thank you and have a good (Morning/Afternoon/Evening).
