NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. (NYSE Amex: NBW),
Neuberger Berman Income Opportunity Fund Inc. (NYSE Amex: NOX) and Neuberger
Berman Real Estate Securities Income Fund Inc. (NYSE Amex: NRO) (each, a "Fund"
and, collectively, the "Funds") each announced the final results of its tender
offer.
The tender offers, which expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on Friday
October 16, 2009, were oversubscribed. In accordance with the terms of each
Fund`s Offer to Purchase, notwithstanding that its tender offer is
oversubscribed, each Fund will accept all common stock properly tendered by
stockholders holding fewer than 100 shares of common stock who tendered all
their shares and provided appropriate certification as part of their tender
("odd-lot adjustment"). Since the total number of shares tendered exceeds the
number of shares each Fund offered to purchase, each Fund will purchase the
maximum percentage of outstanding common stock previously announced (10% for
each of NOX and NBW and 5% for NRO) on a pro-rata basis, after making the
odd-lot adjustment, based on the number of shares properly tendered, the
"Pro-Ration Factor." The final results of the tender offers are provided in the
table below.
Fund Number of Number of Pro-Ration Purchase Price Number of Outstanding
Shares Tendered Shares Factor (98% of NAV Shares after Tender
