Dated: July 14, 2006 By: /s/ Phillip Goldstein Name: Phillip Goldstein President, Kimball and Winthrop, Inc. Managing General Partner, BIGP Exhibit 1. Letter to Issuer 60 Heritage Drive, Pleasantville, NY 10570 (914) 747-5262 // Fax: (914) 747-5258//oplp@optonline.net July 14, 2006 Michael L. Hirschfeld Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP One Chase Manhattan Plaza New York, New York 10005-1413 Dear Mr. Hirschfeld: On December 18, 2005, we wrote you the following letter: On November 23, 2005, we wrote a letter to the board of directors of Neuberger Berman Real Estate Income Fund Inc. (the ?Fund?) advising it that we had acquired an aggregate of 478,093 shares representing 11.5006% of the Fund?s outstanding shares. On November 29, 2005, you advised us that the Fund had amended the poison pill so that ?its implementation is not required when the triggering threshold is exceeded by an acquisition that the Board determines to be DE MINIMUS.? We still want to trigger the pill because (1) we don?t approve of poison pills generally, and (2) we think triggering the poison pill will lead to a settlement of the costly litigation about its legitimacy. Since November 23, 2005, we have acquired more shares of the Fund. As of December 16, 2005 our group beneficially owns 491,593 shares representing 11.8253% of the Fund?s outstanding shares. Please tell us how many shares we have to buy to exceed the triggering threshold by more than a DE MINIMUS amount. Thank you. We never received a response to that letter but on April 12, 2006, the board announced that it had adopted a new poison pill with a 15% trigger. We now own 14.47% of the Fund?s outstanding shares and we would like to continue to acquire shares. Can you tell us exactly how many shares we can acquire before the board will implement the poison pill? Unless the board is willing to specify this number, shareholders have no way of knowing what the real trigger is. If we do not get a response by July 21, 2006, we will assume that the board does not intend to implement the poison pill even if we acquire more than 15% of the outstanding shares. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Very truly yours, Phillip Goldstein -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
