SALOMON BROTHERS CAPITAL AND INCOME FUND INC.
125 Broad Street, 10th Floor
New York, New York 10004
October 26, 2005
Dear Shareholder:
The Special Meeting of Shareholders of Salomon Brothers Capital and Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) has been postponed to November 15, 2005 so that the Fund may continue to solicit votes to reach the necessary quorum to conduct business at the Special Meeting. The Special Meeting will be held at 4:00 p.m. (New York time) at 399 Park Avenue, 12th Floor Auditorium, New York, New York 10022 on Tuesday, November 15, 2005 for the following purposes:
ITEM 1. To approve a new Management Agreement.
ITEM 2. To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting and any postponements or adjournments thereof.
Shareholders of record on August 22, 2005 are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and at any postponements or adjournments thereof.
The Fund needs your vote to ensure continuity of the management of the Fund. As you are aware, if the new Management Agreement is not approved by shareholders of the Fund, the Fund will face considerable uncertainty and its ability to pursue its investment objectives may be disrupted following the consummation of the transaction between Citigroup Inc. and Legg Mason, Inc. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting on November 15, and regardless of the number of shares you own, your Board urges you to vote FOR the new Management Agreement on the enclosed WHITE proxy card now. If you do not return a proxy card, the Fund may not reach the quorum necessary to act on this proposal, and in that event, the new Management Agreement cannot be approved.
Your Board strongly urges you to discard and not sign any green proxy card that may be sent to you by Karpus Management Inc. d/b/a Karpus Investment Management. If you previously signed a green proxy card, you can easily rescind your vote by voting the WHITE proxy card or by following the instructions for phone and Internet voting on the enclosed WHITE proxy card. If you are uncertain as to whether you have previously sent a WHITE proxy card, you can vote for the new Management Agreement on the enclosed WHITE proxy card.
