Delaware Investments National Municipal Income Fund announces intent to redeem preferred shares

Today, Delaware Investments National Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”), a NYSE American listed closed-end fund trading under the symbol “VFL”, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a notice of intention to redeem up to 1,350 shares in the aggregate of one or more series of the Fund’s outstanding Muni-MultiMode Preferred Shares (“preferred shares”). The preferred share redemption price will be the $100,000 liquidation preference per share, plus an additional amount representing the final accumulated dividend amounts owed. The Fund expects to finance the preferred share redemptions with cash on hand and portfolio sales. The purpose of the redemption is to manage leverage levels in connection with the Fund’s issuer tender offer for its common shares announced on July 22, 2022, commencing November 14, 2022 and expiring, unless extended, on December 13, 2022. The Fund expects to determine the actual amount of preferred shares to be redeemed based on the results of the tender offer, among other considerations.

The anticipated date of redemption (the actual date may be earlier or later) and the maximum number of preferred shares for each series expected to be redeemed are as follows:

The Fund will determine the applicable series and the actual amount of preferred shares to be redeemed (which may be less than the maximum amount indicated above for the applicable series) at a later date. Formal notification of redemption by the Fund will be delivered to holders of the applicable preferred share series at a later date through The Depository Trust Company (DTC).

The address of the tender and paying agent of the preferred shares is The Bank of New York Mellon, 240 Greenwich Street, 7E, New York, New York 10007.

The preferred shares intended for redemption have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities laws, and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws.

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax consistent with the preservation of capital. In addition, the Fund has the ability to use leveraging techniques in an attempt to obtain a higher return for the Fund. Currently, the Fund has outstanding variable-rate preferred shares as leverage. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

The offer to purchase common shares and other documents filed by the Fund with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the Fund’s annual report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, are or will be available without cost at the SEC’s website (sec.gov) or by calling the Fund’s Information Agent. Listed closed-end funds are traded on the secondary market through one of the stock exchanges. The Fund’s investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that an investor’s common shares may be worth more or less than the original cost. Common shares of closed-end funds may trade above (a premium) or below (a discount) the net asset value (NAV) of the fund’s portfolio. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

The above is for informational purposes only and should not be considered as an offer, or solicitation, to deal in any of the investments mentioned herein.
