        -    All Funds in Fund Complex (Appendix A)

  Proposal 2:   To Approve a New Subadvisory Agreement

Citigroup Asset Management [Logo]   — Page 2


   The Proposed Transaction

 

    Sale of substantially all of Citigroup’s asset management business, Citigroup Asset Management (CAM), to Legg Mason in exchange for the broker-dealer and investment banking business of Legg Mason, shares of common and preferred stock of Legg Mason and a loan

 

    Several conditions to the sale, including:

 

    Obtaining certain required regulatory approvals

 

    Consent of certain advisory clients of CAM representing no less than 75% of the revenue attributable to the assets under management for such clients to continue their advisory relationship with CAM

 

Citigroup Asset Management [Logo]   — Page 3


   The Proposed Transaction – Advisory Agreements

 

    Sale will cause the Funds’ current investment advisory and subadvisory agreements to terminate as a matter of law

 

    Shareholder approval is needed to assure continuity of investment advisory services after the completion of the transaction

 

    Total fees for advisory and administrative services will remain the same under the new management agreements and new subadvisory agreements

 

Citigroup Asset Management [Logo]   — Page 4


   The Proposed Transaction – About Legg Mason

 

    The combination will create the world’s 5th largest money manager in the U.S. with assets under management of over $830 billion

 

    Legg Mason becomes a singularly focused, more profitable and certainly more influential organization within the global asset management community1

 

    Legg Mason becomes the 5th largest manager of mutual funds in the United States 1

 

    Legg Mason’s equity fund platform gains a number of large-cap growth and large-cap core funds and well regarded managers to complement Legg Mason’s existing strength across value, blend and small-cap asset classes

 

    Western Asset becomes the #1 pure manager of fixed income in the world, with approximately $490 billion of assets under management and broad capabilities in all major fixed income asset types and currencies

   The Proposed Transaction – About Legg Mason Cont’d

 

    Salomon Brothers Asset Management, Smith Barney Fund Management LLC and TIMCO, the Funds’ advisers, will become part of a pure play asset management organization

 

    Percent of assets beating the Lipper Category Average (U.S. open- and closed-end funds):

 

1-Year

  3-Year

  5-Year

  10-Year

71%   88%   95%   98%

Citigroup Asset Management [Logo]   — Page 6


   Approval of New Management and Subadvisory Agreements

 

    No increase in the aggregate advisory and administrative fees

 

    Advisers will continue to provide the same level of advisory and administrative services to the Funds

 

    New standardized investment management agreement for the fund complex combining advisory and administrative services

 

    Advisers will be owned by Legg Mason with its reputation for asset management excellence

 

Citigroup Asset Management [Logo]   — Page 7


Board Considerations in Approving New Agreements

 

    Among other things, the Board Members considered the following when approving the New Management Agreements and New Subadvisory Agreements:

 

    The reputation, financial strength and resources of Legg Mason and its investment advisory subsidiaries (including Western Asset);

 

    There is not expected to be any diminution in the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Funds and their shareholders by the Advisers, including compliance services

 

    The potential benefits to Fund shareholders from being part of a combined fund family with Legg Mason-sponsored funds, including possible economies of scale and access to investment opportunities

 

    The fact that each Fund’s total advisory and administrative fees will not increase by virtue of the New Management Agreements, but will remain the same

 

Citigroup Asset Management [Logo]   — Page 8


   Board Considerations in Approving New Agreements

 

    Assurances from Citigroup and Legg Mason that, for a three year period following the closing of the Transaction, the Advisers will have substantially the same access to the Citigroup sales force when distributing shares of the Funds

 

    The Funds would not bear the costs of obtaining shareholder approval of the New Management Agreements

 

Citigroup Asset Management [Logo]   — Page 9


   Election of Directors

 

    Open–end mutual funds only

 

    Experienced Directors

 

    Closed-end funds elect directors at regularly scheduled annual meetings

 

Citigroup Asset Management [Logo]   — Page 10


Corporate Governance

 

    Independence of Board – All Boards have only one interested Director. All other Directors are independent.

 

    Each Fund has an Independent Audit Committee & Nominating/Governance Committee

 

    Independent Directors meet regularly in executive sessions with counsel to the Independent Directors

 

    Independent Directors separately reviewed and unanimously approved the new management and subadvisory agreements

 

Citigroup Asset Management [Logo]   — Page 11


     Dissident Proxy Fights – Closed End Funds

 

    Dissident Objectives

 

    Side-show issue: Dissidents are focusing on issue that lacks relevance to purpose of Special Meeting

 

    Asking shareholders to vote against long-term interests of shareholders and approval of new management agreement

 

    Opportunistic proxy fights centered on “discounts”

 

    Focusing on the interests of short-term shareholders only

 

    Closed-end Funds frequently trade at a discount, these funds are not unique

 

    Taking advantage of need for shareholder approval to reap short-term windfall for minority group

 

Citigroup Asset Management [Logo]   — Page 12


     Dissident Proxy Fights – Closed End Funds

 

    Board Objectives

 

    Focused on the interests of all shareholders

 

    The Boards review and evaluate issues surrounding discounts at least quarterly :

 

    Reviewed various “solutions” to the discount problem

 

    Instituted share repurchase plans for some funds (SBF, SCD)

 

    DRIP Plans repurchase shares at certain levels

 

    Believe that closed-end fund structure is beneficial to shareholders

Important Notes

 

  Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering, and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of a closed-end fund’s shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the fund. Therefore, the funds cannot predict whether their shares will trade at, below or above net asset value.

 

  Past performance does not guarantee or predict future performance. The funds described in this presentation are not appropriate for everyone. An interested party must make his or her own independent legal, tax, accounting and financial evaluation of their merits and risks.

 

  Fund shares are not FDIC-insured and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any bank. Fund shares involve investment risk, including possible loss of principal.

 

  This presentation is provided for informational purposes only and is not intended for trading purposes. The information provided in this presentation is neither financial advice nor a recommendation, offer or solicitation of a fund, and Citigroup Asset Management makes no representation concerning its accuracy, completeness or fairness. We assume no responsibility to advise the recipients of this document with regard to changes in our views. All opinions in this presentation, reflect our judgment on the date of this report and are subject to change without notice.

 

  The Funds have mailed definitive proxy statements to their shareholders in connection with a 2005 Special Meeting. Investors of the Funds are urged to read the proxy statement as it contains important information about the Funds. Investors and shareholders may obtain a free copy of the proxy statements at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
