President’s Letter

Dear Stockholder,

I am pleased to present this semi-annual report for Neuberger Berman California Municipal Fund Inc. (NBW), Neuberger Berman Municipal Fund Inc. (NBH) and Neuberger Berman New York Municipal Fund Inc. (NBO and, together with NBW and NBH, the Funds) for the six months ended April 30, 2019. The report includes portfolio commentaries, listings of the Funds’ investments and their unaudited financial statements for the reporting period.

Each Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax and, for the state-specific Funds, NBW seeks to provide income that is also exempt from California’s personal income taxes and NBO seeks to provide income that is also exempt from New York State and New York City personal income tax. (The Funds may invest in securities the interest on which is subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax.)

We maintain a conservative investment philosophy and disciplined investment process in an effort to provide you with tax-exempt current income over the long term with less volatility and risk.

On April 2, 2019, each Fund announced that it had extended the term of its existing Variable Rate Municipal Term Preferred Shares (VMTP Shares) to March 31, 2022. Each Fund’s VMTP Shares previously had a term redemption date of on or about June 30, 2019. In addition, each Fund redeemed a portion of its outstanding VMTP Shares on April 1, 2019. The redemption price for the VMTP Shares was the $100,000 liquidation preference per share, plus the final accumulated distribution amounts owed. NBH redeemed 90 VMTP Shares and has 1,704 VMTP Shares outstanding. NBW redeemed 40 VMTP Shares and has 550 VMTP Shares outstanding. NBO redeemed 20 VMTP Shares and has 463 VMTP Shares outstanding.

Thank you for your confidence in the Funds. We will continue to do our best to retain your trust in the years to come.

Sincerely,


Joseph V. Amato
President and CEO
Neuberger Berman California Municipal Fund Inc.

Neuberger Berman Municipal Closed-End Funds
Portfolio Commentaries

For six months ended April 30, 2019, on a net asset value (NAV) basis, two of the three Neuberger Berman Municipal Closed-End Funds outperformed their benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 10-Year Municipal Bond Index (the Index). Neuberger Berman California Municipal Fund Inc. (NBW), Neuberger Berman Municipal Fund Inc. (NBH) and Neuberger Berman New York Municipal Fund Inc. (NBO and, together with NBW and NBH, the Funds) posted 7.47%, 6.27% and 5.99% total returns for the reporting period, respectively, whereas the Index generated a 6.19% total return for the same period. (Fund performance on a market price basis is provided in the table immediately following this commentary.) The use of leverage (typically a performance enhancer in up markets and a detractor during market retreats) contributed to performance given the positive price return for the municipal market during the reporting period.

The investment grade municipal bond market posted a positive absolute return and outperformed the taxable bond market on a relative basis during the reporting period. All told, the investment grade municipal bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, returned 5.68% for the six months ended April 30, 2019, whereas the overall taxable bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 5.49% for the period. Both short- and long-term U.S. Treasury yields declined as the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed) indicated that it did not expect to raise rates in 2019. The Fed also said it would end its balance sheet reduction program in September 2019. Municipal securities were also supported by overall positive fundamentals, as well as solid investor demand at times and moderating new supply.

The Funds’ yield curve positioning detracted from performance, due to an underweight to the 10-year portion of the curve. The Funds’ allocation to certain tobacco securitization bonds was not rewarded as these bonds underperformed over the period. The Funds maintained a lower quality relative to that of the Index as they sought to generate additional yield. This was positive for results given the relative outperformance of lower quality bonds. Finally, for NBH, an allocation to Illinois state general obligation bonds contributed to results.

There were a number of adjustments made to the portfolios during the reporting period. In particular, we selectively added to each Fund’s allocation to lower rated securities to take advantage of what we felt were attractive opportunities in that portion of the municipal bond market. We also increased each Fund’s exposure to long-term securities.

In our view, the U.S. economy has enough momentum to continue expanding, albeit at a more moderate pace than during the recent past. Against this backdrop, we anticipate inflation to remain benign and the Fed to be data-dependent in terms of future monetary policy adjustments. With regard to the municipal bond market, technicals continue to look promising, in our opinion, especially for lower-rated securities. We believe municipal fundamentals, overall, are also favorable, although valuations are less attractive given the market’s strong results in recent months. At this stage of the economic and credit cycle, we believe security selection will take on added importance. As such, we continue to conduct thorough research of individual securities and closely follow the primary and secondary markets to find what we believe are attractive buying opportunities.

Sincerely,

James L. Iselin and S. Blake Miller

Listed closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continually offered. Generally, there is an initial public offering and, once issued, shares of common stock of closed-end funds are sold in the secondary market on a stock exchange.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and do not indicate future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For more current performance data, please visit www.nb.com/cef-performance.

The results shown in the table reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a stockholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the sale of shares of a Fund’s common stock.

The investment return and market price will fluctuate and shares of a Fund’s common stock may trade at prices above or below NAV. Shares of a Fund’s common stock, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC (“Management”) had not waived a portion of its investment management fees during certain of the periods shown. The waived fees are from prior years that are no longer disclosed in the Financial Highlights.

Notes to Financial Statements Municipal Closed-End Funds
(Unaudited)

Note A—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

1

General: Neuberger Berman California Municipal Fund Inc. (“California Fund”) (formerly, Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc.), Neuberger Berman Municipal Fund Inc. (“Municipal Fund”) (formerly, Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc.) and Neuberger Berman New York Municipal Fund Inc. (“New York Fund”) (formerly, Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc.), (each individually a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) were organized as Maryland corporations on July 29, 2002. California Fund and New York Fund registered as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies and Municipal Fund registered as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Under the 1940 Act, the status of a Fund that was registered as non-diversified may, under certain circumstances, change to that of a diversified fund. Each Fund is currently a diversified fund. The Funds’ Boards of Directors (each Fund’s Board of Directors, a “Board”) may classify or re-classify any unissued shares of capital stock into one or more classes of preferred stock without the approval of stockholders.

A balance indicated with a “—”, either reflects a zero balance or a balance that rounds to less than $1,000.

The assets of each Fund belong only to that Fund, and the liabilities of each Fund are borne solely by that Fund and no other.

Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 “Financial Services—Investment Companies.”

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC (“Management”) to make estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

          
2

Portfolio valuation: In accordance with ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASC 820”), all investments held by each of the Funds are carried at the value that Management believes a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment under current market conditions. Various inputs, including the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in the market, are considered in valuing the Funds’ investments, some of which are discussed below. Significant Management judgment may be necessary to value investments in accordance with ASC 820.

ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to create a classification of value measurements for disclosure purposes. 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 observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, amortized cost, etc.)
 
Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

The value of the Funds’ investments in municipal notes and liquidating trust - real estate is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on readily available bid quotations, or if quotations are not available, by methods which include various considerations such as yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions (generally Level 2 inputs). Other Level 2 and 3 inputs used by independent


33



 

pricing services to value municipal notes and liquidating trust - real estate include current trades, bid-wanted lists (which inform the market that a holder is interested in selling a position and that offers will be considered), offerings, general information on market movement, direction, trends, appraisals, bid offers and specific data on specialty issues.

Management has developed a process to periodically review information provided by independent pricing services for all types of securities.

If a valuation is not available from an independent pricing service, or if Management has reason to believe that the valuation received does not represent the amount a Fund might reasonably expect to receive on a current sale in an orderly transaction, Management seeks to obtain quotations from brokers or dealers (generally considered Level 2 or Level 3 inputs depending on the number of quotes available). If such quotations are not readily available, the security is valued using methods the Board has approved in the good-faith belief that the resulting valuation will reflect the fair value of the security. Numerous factors may be considered when determining the fair value of a security based on Level 2 or Level 3 inputs, including available analyst, media or other reports, securities within the same industry with recent highly correlated performance, trading in futures or American Depositary Receipts and whether the issuer of the security being fair valued has other securities outstanding.

Fair value prices are necessarily estimates, and there is no assurance that such a price will be at or close to the price at which the security is next quoted or next trades.

          
3

Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Interest income, including accretion of discount (adjusted for original issue discount, where applicable) and amortization of premium, where applicable, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the basis of identified cost and stated separately in the Statements of Operations.

 
4

Income tax information: Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) by complying with the requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code applicable to RICs and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to its stockholders. To the extent a Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to stockholders, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.

The Funds have adopted the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as an income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not yet expired. As of April 30, 2019, the Funds did not have any unrecognized tax positions.

At April 30, 2019, selected Fund information for all long security positions for U.S. federal income tax purposes was as follows:


Gross Gross Net Unrealized
Unrealized Unrealized Appreciation/
(000’s omitted) Cost       Appreciation       Depreciation       (Depreciation)
California Fund       $ 128,265      $ 9,619           $ 536            $ 9,083      
Municipal Fund 415,220 35,300 2,342 32,958
New York Fund 112,557 4,294 1,835 2,459

          

Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences, if any, are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by each Fund, timing differences, capital loss carryforwards expiring and differing characterization of distributions made by each Fund.


34



 

          

As determined on October 31, 2018, permanent differences resulting primarily from different book and tax accounting were reclassified at year end. Such differences are attributed to the non-deductible offering costs on Variable Rate Municipal Term Preferred Shares, Series A (“VMTPS”) and expiration of capital loss carryforwards. These reclassifications had no effect on net income, net asset value (“NAV”) or NAV per share of common stock of the Funds. For the year ended October 31, 2018, the Funds recorded the following permanent reclassifications:


            Total Distributable
Paid-in Capital Earnings/(Losses)
California Fund      $ (29,565 )               $ 29,565         
Municipal Fund (359,367 ) 359,367
New York Fund (27,693 ) 27,693

          

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017 was as follows:


      Distributions Paid From:
            Long-Term
Tax Exempt Ordinary Capital Return of
Income Income Gain Capital Total
2018 2017 2018       2017       2018       2017       2018       2017       2018       2017
California Fund $ 4,479,419 $ 4,743,113 $ 13,796 $ 33,345 $ $ $ 183,085 $ $ 4,676,300 $ 4,776,458
Municipal Fund 18,977,618 19,069,206 192,492 187,099 19,170,110 19,256,305
New York Fund 3,679,064 3,627,414 67,991 71,711 3,747,055 3,699,125

          

As of October 31, 2018, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a U.S. federal income tax basis were as follows:


    Undistributed     Undistributed     Undistributed     Unrealized     Loss     Other    
Ordinary Tax-Exempt Long-Term Appreciation/ Carryforwards Temporary
Income Income Capital Gain (Depreciation) and Deferrals Differences Total
California Fund    $       $       $       $ 4,759,192       $ (3,056,409 )       $ (389,382 )       $ 1,313,401   
Municipal Fund 5,646,621 22,095,707 (11,109,401 ) (1,601,932 ) 15,030,995
New York Fund 515,485 (371,549 ) (3,038,888 ) (314,874 ) (3,209,826 )

          

The temporary differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings are primarily due to: timing differences of distribution payments, partnership basis adjustments, capital loss carryforwards and defaulted bond income adjustments.

To the extent each Fund’s net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carryforwards, it is the policy of each Fund not to distribute such gains. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 made changes to the capital loss carryforward rules allowing for RICs to carry forward capital losses indefinitely and to retain the character of capital loss carryforwards as short-term or long-term (“Post-Enactment”). Rules in effect previously limited the carryforward period to eight years and all carryforwards were considered short-term in character (“Pre-Enactment”). As determined at October 31, 2018, the following Funds had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset net realized capital gains, if any, as follows:


      Pre-Enactment
Expiring in:
2019
California Fund     $    
Municipal Fund
New York Fund 7,374

35



 

Post-Enactment (No Expiration Date)
            Long-Term       Short-Term      
California Fund $ 2,655,048 $ 401,361
Municipal Fund 9,482,284

1,627,117

New York Fund 2,452,141 579,373

Post-Enactment capital loss carryforwards must be fully used before Pre-Enactment capital loss carryforwards; therefore, under certain circumstances, Pre-Enactment capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date may expire unused.

During the year ended October 31, 2018, California Fund utilized capital loss carryforwards of $124,217.

During the year ended October 31, 2018, Municipal Fund had capital loss carryforwards expire of $302,263.

          

5

Distributions to common stockholders: Each Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. It is the policy of each Fund to declare and pay monthly distributions to common stockholders. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally distributed in December. Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-date. Distributions to preferred stockholders are accrued and determined as described in Note A-7.

On May 15, 2019, each Fund declared a monthly distribution to common stockholders payable June 17, 2019, to stockholders of record on May 31, 2019, with an ex-date of May 30, 2019 as follows:


      Distribution per share
California Fund             0.04480            
Municipal Fund 0.06244
New York Fund 0.03933

On June 17, 2019, each Fund declared a monthly distribution to common stockholders payable July 15, 2019, to stockholders of record on June 28, 2019, with an ex-date of June 27, 2019 as follows:

      Distribution per share
California Fund             0.04480            
Municipal Fund 0.06244
New York Fund 0.03933

6

Expense allocation: Certain expenses are applicable to multiple funds within the complex of related investment companies. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses borne by the complex of related investment companies, which includes open-end and closed-end investment companies for which Management serves as investment manager, that are not directly attributable to a particular investment company (e.g., a Fund) are allocated among the Funds and the other investment companies or series thereof in the complex on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the investment companies or series thereof in the complex can otherwise be made fairly.

          

7

Financial leverage: On June 30, 2014, July 1, 2014 and July 2, 2014, the Funds issued VMTPS as follows:


      Shares
California Fund   590  
Municipal Fund 1,794
New York Fund 483

   36



 

On April 1, 2019, the Funds extended the maturity and completed a partial redemption of VMTPS. After such partial redemptions, the Funds had VMTPS outstanding as follows:

Shares
Redeemed
      Shares
Outstanding
California Fund 40       550      
Municipal Fund 90 1,704
New York Fund 20 463

Each Fund’s VMTPS have a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share plus any accumulated unpaid distributions, whether or not earned or declared by the Fund, but excluding interest thereon (“VMTPS Liquidation Value”). Distributions on the VMTPS are accrued daily and paid monthly at a floating rate. For financial reporting purposes only, the liquidation preference of the VMTPS is recognized as a liability in each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The distribution rate for each Fund’s VMTPS is calculated based on the applicable SIFMA (Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association) Municipal Swap Index plus a spread. The table below sets forth key terms of each Fund’s VMTPS.

Term Aggregate
Redemption Shares Liquidation
Fund       Series       Date       Outstanding       Preference
California Fund Series A 3/31/2022 550 $55,000,000
Municipal Fund Series A 3/31/2022 1,704 $170,400,000
New York Fund Series A 3/31/2022 463 $46,300,000

The Funds have paid up front expenses in connection with offering the VMTPS, which are being amortized over the life of the VMTPS. The expenses are included in the “Distributions to variable rate municipal term preferred shareholders and amortization of offering costs (Note A)” line item that is reflected in the Statements of Operations.

Each Fund may redeem its VMTPS, in whole or in part, at its option after giving notice to the relevant holders of its VMTPS. Each Fund is also subject to certain restrictions relating to the VMTPS. Failure to comply with these restrictions could preclude a Fund from declaring any distributions to common stockholders or repurchasing common stock and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of its VMTPS at the VMTPS Liquidation Value. The holders of the VMTPS are entitled to one vote per share and will vote with holders of common stock as a single class, except that the holders of the VMTPS will vote separately as a class on certain matters, as required by law or the Fund’s organizational documents. The holders of the VMTPS, voting as a separate class, are entitled at all times to elect two Directors of the Fund, and to elect a majority of the Directors of the Fund if the Fund fails to pay distributions on its VMTPS for two consecutive years.

During the six months ended April 30, 2019, the average aggregate liquidation preference value outstanding and average annualized distribution rate of the VMTPS were $58,337,000 and 2.82%, $177,908,000 and 2.82%, and $47,969,000 and 2.82%, for California Fund, Municipal Fund and New York Fund, respectively.

          

8

Securities lending: Each Fund, using State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) as its lending agent, may loan securities to qualified brokers and dealers in exchange for negotiated lender’s fees. These fees, if any, would be disclosed within the Statements of Operations under the caption “Income from securities loaned-net” and are net of expenses retained by State Street as compensation for its services as lending agent.

The initial cash collateral received by a Fund at the beginning of each transaction shall have a value equal to at least 102% of the prior day’s market value of the loaned securities (105% in the case of international securities). Thereafter, the value of the cash collateral is monitored on a daily basis, and cash collateral is moved daily between a counterparty and a Fund until the close of the transaction. A Fund may only receive collateral in the form of cash


   37



 

   

(U.S. dollars). Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of State Street. The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the securities loaned and any interest earned or dividends paid or owed on those securities during the term of the loan would accrue to the Fund.

As of April 30, 2019, the Funds did not participate in securities lending.

     
9         Concentration of risk: The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry or region. California Fund and New York Fund normally invest a substantial portion of their assets in municipal bonds of issuers located in the state of California and the state of New York, respectively. The value of each of these Funds’ securities are more susceptible to adverse economic, political, regulatory or other factors affecting the issuers of such municipal bonds than a fund that does not limit its investments to such issuers.
 
10 Indemnifications: Like many other companies, the Funds’ organizational documents provide that their officers (“Officers”) and directors (“Directors”) are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, both in some of their principal service contracts and in the normal course of their business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide indemnifications to other parties for certain types of losses or liabilities. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims against each Fund.
 
11 Arrangements with certain non-affiliated service providers: In order to satisfy rating agency requirements, each Fund is required to provide the rating agency that rates its VMTPS a report on a monthly basis verifying that each Fund is maintaining eligible assets having a discounted value equal to or greater than the Preferred Shares Basic Maintenance Amount, which is a minimum level set by the rating agency as one of the conditions to maintain its rating on the VMTPS. “Discounted value” refers to the fact that the rating agency requires each Fund, in performing this calculation, to discount portfolio securities below their face value, at rates determined by the rating agency. Each Fund pays a fee to State Street Bank for the preparation of this report which is reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption “Basic maintenance expense (Note A).”

Note B—Investment Management Fees, Administration Fees, and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

           Each Fund retains Management as its investment manager under a Management Agreement. For such investment management services, each Fund pays Management a fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily Managed Assets. Managed Assets equal the total assets of the Fund, less liabilities other than the aggregate indebtedness entered into for purposes of leverage. For purposes of calculating Managed Assets, any VMTPS Liquidation Value is not considered a liability.
 
Each Fund retains Management as its administrator under an Administration Agreement. Each Fund pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.30% of its average daily Managed Assets under this agreement. Additionally, Management retains State Street as its sub-administrator under a Sub-Administration Agreement. Management pays State Street a fee for all services received under the agreement.

38



 

Note C—Securities Transactions:

           During the six months ended April 30, 2019, there were purchase and sale transactions of long-term securities as follows:

(000’s omitted)       Purchases       Sales
California Fund    $ 21,789        $ 26,804     
Municipal Fund 86,509   96,674  
New York Fund 12,431   14,375  

Note D—Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

          

In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, “Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (“ASU 2017-08”). ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period to the earliest call date for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact of applying this guidance.

In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820: Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”)). ASU 2018-13 eliminates the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will require the disclosure of the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and the changes in unrealized gains and losses for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will also require that information is provided about the measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair value measurements as of the reporting date. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 and allows for early adoption of either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the disclosure requirements. Management has elected to adopt early the provisions that eliminate the disclosure requirements. Management is still currently evaluating the impact of applying the rest of the guidance.

Note E—Unaudited Financial Information:

           The financial information included in this interim report is taken from the records of each Fund without audit by an independent registered public accounting firm. Annual reports contain audited financial statements.

Notes to Financial Highlights (Unaudited)

@ Calculated based on the average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each fiscal period.
          
Total return based on per share NAV reflects the effects of changes in NAV on the performance of each Fund during each fiscal period. Total return based on per share market value assumes the purchase of shares of common stock at the market price on the first day and sale of common stock at the market price on the last day of the period indicated. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed to be reinvested at prices obtained under each Fund’s distribution reinvestment plan. Results represent past performance and do not indicate future results. Current returns may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment returns will fluctuate and shares of common stock when sold may be worth more or less than original cost.
 
* Not annualized.
 
** Annualized.
 
†† Expense ratios do not include the effect of distributions on Auction Market Preferred Shares (“AMPS”). Income ratios include income earned on assets attributable to the VMTPS (AMPS prior to June 30, 2014, July 1, 2014 and July 2, 2014 for California Fund, Municipal Fund and New York Fund, respectively) outstanding.
 
^ Prior to June 30, 2014, California Fund had AMPS outstanding. On June 30, 2014, California Fund issued VMTPS and redeemed its outstanding AMPS.
 
^^ Prior to July 1, 2014, Municipal Fund had AMPS outstanding. On July 1, 2014, Municipal Fund issued VMTPS and redeemed its outstanding AMPS.
 
^^^ Prior to July 2, 2014, New York Fund had AMPS outstanding. On July 2, 2014, New York Fund issued VMTPS and redeemed its outstanding AMPS.
 
Ø Distributions on VMTPS are included in expense ratios. The annualized ratios of distributions on VMTPS to average net assets applicable to common stockholders were:

New York Fund 1.96 % 1.78 % 1.36 % 1.01 % 0.85 % 0.91 %

ØØ At April 30, 2019, the Value of Preferred Stock Outstanding is being shown net of unamortized deferred offering costs of approximately $36,000, $40,000 and $36,000 for California Fund, Municipal Fund and New York Fund, respectively. At October 31, 2018, the Value of Preferred Stock Outstanding is being shown net of unamortized deferred offering costs of approximately $19,000, $38,000 and $18,000 for California Fund, Municipal Fund and New York Fund, respectively. At October 31, 2017, the Value of Preferred Stock Outstanding is being shown net of unamortized deferred offering costs of approximately $49,000, $95,000 and $46,000 for California Fund, Municipal Fund and New York Fund, respectively.
          
¢ Calculated by subtracting the Fund’s total liabilities (excluding the liquidation preference of VMTPS and accumulated unpaid distributions on VMTPS (AMPS prior to June 30, 2014, July 1, 2014 and July 2, 2014 for California Fund, Municipal Fund and New York Fund, respectively)) from the Fund’s total assets and dividing by the number of VMTPS/AMPS outstanding.

a

In May 2016, the Funds’ custodian, State Street, announced that it had identified inconsistencies in the way in which the Funds were invoiced for categories of expenses, particularly those deemed “out-of-pocket” costs, from 1998 through November 2015, and refunded to the Funds certain expenses and interest determined to be payable to the Funds for the period. These amounts had no impact on the Funds’ total returns for the year ended October 31, 2017.

          

 

b

The custodian expenses refund noted in (a) above, which is non-recurring, is included in these ratios on a non-annualized basis. Had the Funds not received the refund, the annualized ratios of net expenses to average net assets and net investment income/(loss) to average net assets would have been:

Distribution Reinvestment Plan for each Fund

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the “Plan Agent”) will act as Plan Agent for stockholders who have not elected in writing to receive dividends and distributions in cash (each a “Participant”), will open an account for each Participant under the Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“Plan”) in the same name as their then-current shares of the Fund’s common stock (“Shares”) are registered, and will put the Plan into effect for each Participant as of the first record date for a dividend or capital gains distribution.

Whenever the Fund declares a dividend or distribution with respect to the Shares, each Participant will receive such dividends and distributions in additional Shares, including fractional Shares acquired by the Plan Agent and credited to each Participant’s account. If on the payment date for a cash dividend or distribution, the net asset value is equal to or less than the market price per Share plus estimated brokerage commissions, the Plan Agent shall automatically receive such Shares, including fractions, for each Participant’s account. Except in the circumstances described in the next paragraph, the number of additional Shares to be credited to each Participant’s account shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend or distribution payable on their Shares by the greater of the net asset value per Share determined as of the date of purchase or 95% of the then-current market price per Share on the payment date.

Should the net asset value per Share exceed the market price per Share plus estimated brokerage commissions on the payment date for a cash dividend or distribution, the Plan Agent or a broker-dealer selected by the Plan Agent shall endeavor, for a purchase period lasting until the last business day before the next date on which the Shares trade on an “ex-dividend” basis, but in no event, except as provided below, more than 30 days after the payment date, to apply the amount of such dividend or distribution on each Participant’s Shares (less their pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open-market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of such dividend or distribution) to purchase Shares on the open market for each Participant’s account. No such purchases may be made more than 30 days after the payment date for such dividend or distribution except where temporary curtailment or suspension of purchase is necessary to comply with applicable provisions of federal securities laws. If, at the close of business on any day during the purchase period the net asset value per Share equals or is less than the market price per Share plus estimated brokerage commissions, the Plan Agent will not make any further open-market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of such dividend or distribution. If the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full dividend or distribution amount through open-market purchases during the purchase period, the Plan Agent shall request that, with respect to the uninvested portion of such dividend or distribution amount, the Fund issue new Shares at the close of business on the earlier of the last day of the purchase period or the first day during the purchase period on which the net asset value per Share equals or is less than the market price per Share, plus estimated brokerage commissions, such Shares to be issued in accordance with the terms specified in the third paragraph hereof. These newly issued Shares will be valued at the then-current market price per Share at the time such Shares are to be issued.

For purposes of making the reinvestment purchase comparison under the Plan, (a) the market price of the Shares on a particular date shall be the last sales price on the New York Stock Exchange (or if the Shares are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, such other exchange on which the Shares are principally traded) on that date, or, if there is no sale on such Exchange (or if not so listed, in the over-the-counter market) on that date, then the mean between the closing bid and asked quotations for such Shares on such Exchange on such date and (b) the net asset value per Share on a particular date shall be the net asset value per Share most recently calculated by or on behalf of the Fund. All dividends, distributions and other payments (whether made in cash or Shares) shall be made net of any applicable withholding tax.

Open-market purchases provided for above may be made on any securities exchange where the Fund’s Shares are traded, in the over-the-counter market or in negotiated transactions and may be on such terms as to price, delivery and otherwise as the Plan Agent shall determine. Each Participant’s uninvested funds held by the Plan Agent will not bear interest, and it is understood that, in any event, the Plan Agent shall have no liability in connection with any inability to purchase Shares within 30 days after the initial date of such purchase as herein provided, or with the timing

45



 

of any purchases effected. The Plan Agent shall have no responsibility as to the value of the Shares acquired for each Participant’s account. For the purpose of cash investments, the Plan Agent may commingle each Participant’s funds with those of other stockholders of the Fund for whom the Plan Agent similarly acts as agent, and the average price (including brokerage commissions) of all Shares purchased by the Plan Agent as Plan Agent shall be the price per Share allocable to each Participant in connection therewith.

The Plan Agent may hold each Participant’s Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan together with the Shares of other stockholders of the Fund acquired pursuant to the Plan in noncertificated form in the Plan Agent’s name or that of the Plan Agent’s nominee. The Plan Agent will forward to each Participant any proxy solicitation material and will vote any Shares so held for each Participant only in accordance with the instructions set forth on proxies returned by the Participant to the Fund.

The Plan Agent will confirm to each Participant each acquisition made for their account as soon as practicable but not later than 60 days after the date thereof. Although each Participant may from time to time have an undivided fractional interest (computed to three decimal places) in a Share, no certificates for a fractional Share will be issued. However, dividends and distributions on fractional Shares will be credited to each Participant’s account. In the event of termination of a Participant’s account under the Plan, the Plan Agent will adjust for any such undivided fractional interest in cash at the market value of the Shares at the time of termination, less the pro rata expense of any sale required to make such an adjustment.

Any Share dividends or split Shares distributed by the Fund on Shares held by the Plan Agent for Participants will be credited to their accounts. In the event that the Fund makes available to its stockholders rights to purchase additional Shares or other securities, the Shares held for each Participant under the Plan will be added to other Shares held by the Participant in calculating the number of rights to be issued to each Participant.

The Plan Agent’s service fee for handling capital gains and other distributions or income dividends will be paid by the Fund. Participants will be charged their pro rata share of brokerage commissions on all open-market purchases.

Each Participant may terminate their account under the Plan by notifying the Plan Agent in writing. Such termination will be effective immediately if the Participant’s notice is received by the Plan Agent not less than ten days prior to any dividend or distribution record date, otherwise such termination will be effective the first trading day after the payment date for such dividend or distribution with respect to any subsequent dividend or distribution. The Plan may be terminated by the Plan Agent or the Fund upon notice in writing mailed to each Participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any dividend or distribution by the Fund.

These terms and conditions may be amended or supplemented by the Plan Agent or the Fund at any time or times but, except when necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or the rules or policies of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory authority, only by mailing to each Participant appropriate written notice at least 30 days prior to the effective date thereof. The amendment or supplement shall be deemed to be accepted by each Participant unless, prior to the effective date thereof, the Plan Agent receives written notice of the termination of their account under the Plan. Any such amendment may include an appointment by the Plan Agent in its place and stead of a successor Plan Agent under these terms and conditions, with full power and authority to perform all or any of the acts to be performed by the Plan Agent under these terms and conditions. Upon any such appointment of any Plan Agent for the purpose of receiving dividends and distributions, the Fund will be authorized to pay to such successor Plan Agent, for each Participant’s account, all dividends and distributions payable on Shares held in their name or under the Plan for retention or application by such successor Plan Agent as provided in these terms and conditions.

The Plan Agent shall at all times act in good faith and agrees to use its best efforts within reasonable limits to ensure the accuracy of all services performed under this Agreement and to comply with applicable law, but assumes no responsibility and shall not be liable for loss or damage due to errors unless such error is caused by the Plan Agent’s negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct or that of its employees. These terms and conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland.

46



 

Reinvested dividends and distributions are taxed in the same manner as cash dividends and distributions — i.e., reinvestment in additional Shares does not relieve stockholders of, or defer the need to pay, any income tax that may be payable (or that is required to be withheld) on Fund dividends and distributions. Participants should contact their tax professionals for information on how the Plan impacts their personal tax situation. For additional information about the Plan, please contact the Plan Agent by telephone at 1-866-227-2136 or by mail at 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, 11219 or online at www.astfinancial.com.
