Market Review: Increased supply and demand on the back of a strong market

The year ended December 31, 2009, was a positive one for the high yield bond market. Stabilizing credit fundamentals, improved liquidity, and increased demand for debt products with larger spreads resulted in an extraordinary recovery in both credit and equity markets and led the high yield bond market to post monthly gains throughout much of the year. The BofA Merrill Global High Yield Master Constrained Index returned 60.91% for 2009 — the best year in the history of the Index. For the same time period, global high yield spreads tightened 1,139 basis points compared to Treasuries to end the period at +677 basis points, while yields ended the year at 9.30%.

Throughout much of 2009, improvements in high yield returns were driven by the riskiest, most aggressive segments of the market. CCC-rated securities in the index led the rally, returning 116.29% for the year. Similarly, BB-rated and B-rated securities returned 48.53% and 52.91%, respectively, for the same time period.

Although high yield default rates rose throughout the year (Moody's reported December 2009 defaults at 12.5%), actual high yield defaults slowed — only one company defaulted in December (according to JPMorgan). This compares with an average of 15 defaults per month during January-April 2009, and 10 defaults per month during May-August 2009. Bank of America Merrill Lynch's distress ratio (defined as the proportion of bonds trading at spreads of more than 1,000 basis points over U.S. Treasuries) has been falling steadily throughout the year to end December at 17.9% — down from its high of 83.6% in November 2008. Finally, the most recent Federal Loan Officers Survey (done in September 2009) reflects a marked decreased in the tightening of lending standards. The net percent of respondents reporting tightening standards dropped to 16.1% for small companies, and 14.0% for large and medium-sized firms. In comparison, these figures stood at 74.5% and 83.6%, respectively, at their highs in September 2008.

Annual Investment Adviser's Report (continued)

December 31, 2009 (unaudited)

After being virtually shut down at the end of 2008, the new issue market began the year slowly. As the year progressed, activity picked up and there was a material increase in diversity among issuers — with lower-rated, more cyclical companies able to access the public debt market for the first time since the summer of 2008. A total of $180.7 billion in high yield bonds were issued in 2009, easily surpassing 2004's record of $158.2 billion. Against this backdrop of increased supply, demand for high yield debt products was strong throughout much of 2009, with AMG Data Services reporting that high yield mutual funds experienced inflows totaling more than $32.7 billion.

Strategic Review and Outlook: Anticipating a return to fundamentals will drive the market

For the annual period ended December 31, 2009, the Fund underperformed its benchmark. Superior security selection in the printing and publishing, forestry, and wireless telecom sectors contributed positively to returns. Conversely, an underweight to the more volatile finance sectors hurt relative returns. Security selection in the energy-exploration and production, integrated telecom, and pharmaceutical sectors also detracted from relative performance. Lastly, the portfolio's underweight positions in the most aggressive segments of the high yield market — namely CC and C-rated securities — also detracted from relative performance.

Against the more positive backdrop in 2009, portfolio construction remained selective and we continued to opportunistically pare back exposures to riskier companies following the market's rally. In addition, we have taken advantage of opportunities in the new issue market at attractive yields, especially in more senior bonds. Portfolio exposures reflect a more positive view on the technology, cable, and telecommunications sectors. However, we remain cautious with respect to consumer-driven industries and have sought to limit exposures to those sectors.

The reopening of both debt and equity capital markets has made capital available to a broad range of companies, allowing many below-investment-grade issuers to refinance and extend debt maturities. This improved liquidity, combined with a stabilizing fundamental backdrop, has decreased expectations for upcoming defaults significantly. Moody's is currently forecasting that the December 2010 global default rate will decline from its current rate of 12.5% to 3.3%. Additionally, recovery rates (i.e., the price at which a defaulted security trades one month post default) have also begun to rise from early 2009 figures. Given this backdrop of declining defaults, a stabilizing economy, and yields that remain above historical averages despite the rally, we remain constructive in our general outlook for high yield bonds. However, security selection will become

increasingly important going forward, as we expect that issuer fundamentals, rather than technical factors, will drive credit markets in 2010. This return to fundamentals will likely result in greater price dispersion among issuers and, as a result, will continue to warrant a selective approach.

The Credit Suisse High Yield Management Team

High yield bonds are lower-quality bonds that are also known as "junk bonds." Such bonds entail greater risks than those found in higher-rated securities.

International investing entails special risk considerations, including currency fluctuations, lower liquidity, economic and political risks, and differences in accounting methods; these risks are generally heightened for emerging-market investments. The Fund may involve a greater degree of risk than other funds that invest in larger, more developed markets.

In addition to historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements, which may concern, among other things, domestic and foreign market, industry and economic trends and developments and government regulation and their potential impact on the Fund's investments. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual trends, developments and regulations in the future, and their impact on the Fund could be materially different from those projected, anticipated or implied. The Fund has no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses

As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six month period ended December 31, 2009.

The table illustrates your Fund's expenses in two ways:

Actual Fund Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund using the Fund's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Fund Return. This helps you to compare your Fund's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Fund's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds.

Annualized Expense Ratio*     0.70 %  

 

*  Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year period, then divided by 365.

  The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" and the "Annualized Expense Ratio" in the tables are based on actual expenses paid by the Fund during the period, net of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. If those fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements had not been in effect, the Fund's actual expenses would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2009

Note 1. Organization

Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company that seeks high total return. The Fund was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on July 31, 1998.

The Fund is authorized to offer three classes of shares: Common Class shares, Advisor Class shares and Institutional Class shares. The Fund currently offers only Institutional Class shares.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

A) SECURITY VALUATION — The net asset value of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value. Equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). If no sales are reported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund's closing net asset value per share on the day of valuation. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Fund's Valuation Time but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Directors under procedures established by the Board of Directors. The Fund may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board of Directors to fair value certain securities. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the


34



Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2009

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

United States of America ("GAAP"), the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. In accordance with GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.

•  Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

•  Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

•  Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund's investments carried at value:

The notional amount of forward foreign currency contracts at period end are reflected in the Notes to Financial Statements and the volume of these open positions relative to the net assets of the Fund is generally representative of open positions throughout the reporting period for the Fund.

C) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the current exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of operations for the current period. The Fund does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in equity securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. The Fund isolates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities.

D) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.

E) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.


38



Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2009

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

F) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.

The Fund adopted the authoritative guidance for uncertainty in income taxes and recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority's widely understood administrative practices and procedures. The Fund has reviewed its current tax positions and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

G) USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

H) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS — The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group AG, pools available cash into a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Fund's custodian. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment.

I) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS — The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency. The Fund will enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily for hedging purposes. Forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily forward exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date or an offsetting position is entered into. At

Currency Abbreviations:

J) CREDIT DEFAULT SWAPS — The Fund may enter into credit default swap agreements either as a buyer or seller. The Fund may buy a credit default swap to attempt to mitigate the risk of default or credit quality deterioration in one or more individual holdings or in a segment of the fixed income securities market. The Fund may sell a credit default swap in an attempt to gain exposure to an underlying issuer's credit quality characteristics without investing directly in that issuer.

The Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a credit default swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of the counterparty. The Fund will enter into swap agreements only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness (generally, such counterparties would have to be eligible counterparties under the terms of the Fund's repurchase agreement guidelines). Credit default swap agreements are generally valued at a price at which the counterparty to such agreement would terminate the agreement. At December 31, 2009, the Fund had no outstanding credit default swap contracts.

K) SECURITIES LENDING — Loans of securities are required at all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). Cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse and may be invested in a variety of investments, including funds advised by SSB, the Fund's securities lending

agent, or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

SSB has been engaged by the Fund to act as the Fund's securities lending agent. The Fund's securities lending arrangement provides that the Fund and SSB will share the net income earned from securities lending activities. During the year ended December 31, 2009, total earnings from the Fund's investment in cash collateral received in connection with securities lending arrangements was $1,411, of which $138 was rebated to borrowers (brokers). The Fund retained $1,014 in income from the cash collateral investment, and SSB, as lending agent, was paid $259. Securities lending income is accrued as earned.

L) OTHER — Lower-rated debt securities (commonly known as "junk bonds") possess speculative characteristics and are subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of lost income and principal than higher-rated debt securities for a variety of reasons. Also, during an economic downturn or substantial period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress which would adversely affect their ability to service their principal and interest payment obligations, to meet projected business goals and to obtain additional financing.

In addition, periods of economic uncertainty and changes can be expected to result in increased volatility of market prices of lower-rated debt securities and (to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds) the Fund's net asset value.

The Fund may invest in securities of foreign countries and governments which involve certain risks in addition to those inherent in domestic investments. Such risks generally include, among others, currency risk (fluctuations in currency exchange rates), information risk (key information may be inaccurate or unavailable) and political risk (expropriation, nationalization or the imposition of capital or currency controls or punitive taxes). Other risks of investing in foreign securities include liquidity and valuation risks.

The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests with respect to its investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Fund accrues such taxes when the related income is earned or gains are realized.

Note 3. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties

Credit Suisse serves as investment adviser for the Fund. For its investment advisory services, Credit Suisse is entitled to receive a fee from the Fund at an annual rate of 0.70% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2009, investment advisory fees earned, voluntarily waived and expenses reimbursed were as follows:

Gross
Advisory
Fee
  Waiver   Net
Advisory
Fee
  Expense
Reimbursement
 
$ 201,501     $ (201,501 )   $ 0     $ (17,274 )  

 

Credit Suisse will not recapture from the Fund any fees it waived or expenses it reimbursed during the year ended December 31, 2009. Fee waivers and expense reimbursements are voluntary and may be discontinued by Credit Suisse at any time.

Credit Suisse Asset Management Securities, Inc. ("CSAMSI"), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, and SSB serve as co-administrators to the Fund. No compensation is payable by the Fund to CSAMSI for co-administrative services.

For its co-administrative services, SSB receives a fee, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, calculated in total for all the Credit Suisse funds/portfolios co-administered by SSB and allocated based upon the relative average net assets of each fund/portfolio, subject to an annual minimum fee. For the year ended December 31, 2009, co-administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket expenses) were $63,512.

In addition to serving as the Fund's co-administrator, CSAMSI currently serves as distributor of the Fund's shares without compensation.

Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, has been engaged by the Fund to provide certain financial printing services. For the year ended December 31, 2009, Merrill was paid $18,610 for its services by the Fund.

Note 4. Line of Credit

The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participates in a $50 million committed, unsecured line of credit facility ("Credit Facility") for temporary or emergency purposes with SSB. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Participating Funds pay an aggregate commitment fee on the average unused

amount of the Credit Facility, which is allocated among the Participating Funds in such manner as is determined by the governing Boards of the Participating Funds. In addition, the Participating Funds pay interest on borrowings at either the Overnight Federal Funds rate or the Overnight LIBOR rate plus a spread. At December 31, 2009, the Fund had no borrowings under the Credit Facility. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund had borrowings under the Credit Facility as follows:

Average Daily
Loan Balance
  Weighted Average
Interest Rate %
  Maximum Daily
Loan Outstanding
 
$ 1,447,700       1.443 %   $ 2,985,000    

 

Note 5. Purchases and Sales of Securities

For the year ended December 31, 2009, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were $22,312,533 and $25,749,123, respectively.

Note 6. Capital Share Transactions

The Fund is authorized to issue one billion full and fractional shares of capital stock, $.001 par value per share. Transactions in capital shares for the Fund were as follows:

    For the Year Ended
December 31, 2009
  For the Year Ended
December 31, 2008
 
Shares sold     722,923       1,651,201    
Shares issued in reinvestment of dividends     380,283       363,403    
Shares redeemed     (1,584,120 )     (2,064,276 )  
Net decrease     (480,914 )     (49,672 )  

 

The Fund imposes a 2% redemption fee on shares currently being offered that are purchased on or after March 1, 2007 and redeemed or exchanged within 30 days from the date of purchase. Reinvested dividends and distributions are not subject to the fee. The fee is charged based on the value of shares at redemption, is paid directly to the Fund and becomes part of the Fund's daily net asset value calculation. When shares are redeemed that are subject to the fee, reinvested dividends and distributions are redeemed first, followed by the shares held longest.

Note 6. Capital Share Transactions

On December 31, 2009, the number of shareholders that held 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund was as follows:

Number of
Shareholders
  Approximate Percentage
of Outstanding Shares
 
  1       91 %  

 

Some of the shareholders are omnibus accounts, which hold shares on behalf of individual shareholders.

Note 7. Federal Income Taxes

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

The tax characteristics of dividends paid during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, by the Fund were as follows:

Ordinary Income  
2009   2008  
$ 3,055,599     $ 3,005,159    

 

The tax basis components of distributable earnings differ from the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by temporary book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of dividends payable, wash sales, forward contracts mark to market and defaulted bond income accruals.

At December 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Dividends payable   $ (18,697 )  
Accumulated realized loss     (40,271,863 )  
Unrealized depreciation     (355,508 )  
Deferral of post-October capital losses     (281,800 )  
Deferral of post-October currency losses     (72,584 )  
    $ (41,000,452 )  

 

At December 31, 2009, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains as follows:

Expires December 31,  
2010   2011   2012   2013   2014   2015   2016   2017  
$ 24,516,347     $ 5,397,886     $ 2,626,651     $ 940,567     $ 1,166,759     $ 297,542     $ 2,721,368     $ 2,604,743

Note 7. Federal Income Taxes

During the tax year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund did not utilize any of the capital loss carryforwards and $9,989,083 of the capital loss carryforwards expired.

It is uncertain whether the Fund will be able to realize the benefits of the capital loss carryforwards before they expire.

At December 31, 2009, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, as well as the gross unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost, gross unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value and the net unrealized depreciation from investments were $32,689,171, $1,875,032, $(2,230,400) and $(355,368), respectively.

At December 31, 2009, the Fund reclassified $88,720 to undistributed net investment income and $9,900,363 to accumulated loss from paid in capital to adjust for current period permenant book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatments of foreign currency transactions, realized gain/(loss) on the sale of defaulted bonds and expiration of capital loss carryforwards. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

Note 8. Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Fund may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

Note 9. Subsequent Events

Effective June 30, 2009, the Fund adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amendments to general standards on accounting for and disclosures of subsequent events. Management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events existing in the Fund's financial statements through February 18, 2010. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure in the Fund's financial statements through this date.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund, Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund, Inc.

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

Credit Suisse Global High Yield Fund
Board Approval of Advisory Agreement
(unaudited)

In approving the renewal of the current Advisory Agreement, the Board of Directors, including the Independent Directors, at a meeting held on November 16 and 17, 2009, considered the following factors with respect to the Global High Yield Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"):

Investment Advisory Fee Rates

The Board reviewed and considered the contractual advisory fee rate of 0.70% for the Fund ("Contractual Advisory Fee") in light of the extent and quality of the advisory services provided by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse"). The Board also reviewed and considered the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for the Fund and considered the actual fee rate of 0.00% paid by the Fund after taking waivers and expense reimbursements into account ("Net Advisory Fee"). The Board acknowledged that voluntary fee waivers and expense reimbursements could be discontinued at any time.

Additionally, the Board received and considered information comparing the Fund's Contractual Advisory Fee, Net Advisory Fee and the Fund's overall expenses with those of funds in both the relevant expense group ("Expense Group") and universe of funds ("Expense Universe") provided by Lipper Inc., an independent provider of investment company data.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services under the Advisory Agreement

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Credit Suisse under the Advisory Agreement. The Board also noted information received at regular meetings throughout the year related to the services rendered by Credit Suisse. The Board reviewed background information about Credit Suisse, including its Form ADV. The Board considered the background and experience of Credit Suisse's senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, senior personnel of Credit Suisse. In addition, the Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and the extent of the resources devoted to research and analysis of actual and potential investments. The Board also received and considered information about the nature, extent and quality of services and fee rates offered to other Credit Suisse clients for comparable services.

(unaudited) (continued)

Fund Performance

The Board received and considered performance results of the Fund over time, along with comparisons both to the relevant performance group ("Performance Group") and universe of funds ("Performance Universe") for the Fund. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used to arrive at the funds included in the Performance Group and the Performance Universe.

Credit Suisse Profitability

The Board received and considered a profitability analysis of Credit Suisse based on the fees payable under the Advisory Agreement for the Fund, including any fee waivers, as well as other relationships between the Fund on the one hand and Credit Suisse affiliates on the other. The Board received profitability information for the other funds in the Credit Suisse family of funds.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Fund were being passed along to the shareholders. Accordingly, the Board considered whether alternative fee structures (such as breakpoint fee structures) would be more appropriate or reasonable taking into consideration economies of scale or other efficiencies that might accrue from increases in the Fund's asset levels.

Other Benefits to Credit Suisse

The Board considered other benefits received by Credit Suisse and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. Such benefits include, among others, benefits potentially derived from an increase in Credit Suisse's businesses as a result of its relationship with the Fund (such as the ability to market to shareholders other financial products offered by Credit Suisse and its affiliates).

The Board considered the standards applied in seeking best execution and reviewed Credit Suisse's method for allocating portfolio investment opportunities among its advisory clients.

Board Approval of Advisory Agreement
(unaudited) (continued)

Conclusions

In selecting Credit Suisse, and approving the Advisory Agreement and the investment advisory fee under such agreement, the Board concluded that:

•  Although the Contractual Advisory Fee was above the median of the Expense Group, the fee was considered reasonable, recognizing that the Net Advisory Fee was among the lowest of the Expense Group.

•  The Fund's performance was above the median of its Performance Universe for all time periods except the two year period. It was also above the median of its Performance Group for the four and five year periods, but was below the median of its Performance Group for all remaining time periods. The Board determined that it would continue to monitor steps undertaken by Credit Suisse to improve performance.

•  The Board was satisfied with the nature and extent of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by Credit Suisse and that, based on dialogue with management and counsel, the services provided by Credit Suisse under the Advisory Agreement are typical of, and consistent with, those provided to similar mutual funds by other investment advisers.

•  In light of the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Fund, which had increased due to additional resources Credit Suisse had made available, and Credit Suisse's ongoing commitment to the Fund and willingness to waive fees and reimburse expenses, the profits and other ancillary benefits that Credit Suisse and its affiliates received were considered reasonable.

•  Credit Suisse's profitability based on fees payable under the Advisory Agreement was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund thereunder.

•  In light of the fee waivers, expense reimbursements and the Net Advisory Fee, the Fund's current fee structure (without breakpoints) was considered reasonable.

No single factor reviewed by the Board was identified by the Board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement. The Independent Directors were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process.
