Dividend Declaration: Delaware Investments(R) Global Dividend and Income Fund,
Inc. Announces Dividends

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2 /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 November 27,
2009, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 13, 2009.
The ex-dividend date will be November 10, 2009.

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.
