NEUBERGER BERMAN CLOSED-END MUNICIPAL FUNDS
ANNOUNCE STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL OF
PROPOSED REORGANIZATIONS

NEW YORK, July 26, 2023 — Neuberger Berman Municipal Fund Inc. (NYSE American: NBH), Neuberger Berman California Municipal Fund Inc. (NYSE American: NBW), and Neuberger Berman New York Municipal Fund Inc. (NYSE American: NBO) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) have announced that common and preferred stockholders of each Fund have approved proposals to reorganize each of NBO and NBW with and into NBH, with NBH continuing as the surviving Fund in each case.

It is currently expected that the reorganizations will be completed prior to the Funds’ October 31, 2023 fiscal year-ends, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. Each transaction is expected to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes and will be effected at each Fund’s respective net asset value (NAV) at the time of the reorganization.

Further information regarding the reorganizations is contained in a proxy statement/prospectus filed publicly with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and disseminated to each Fund’s stockholders. This press release is not intended to, and does not, constitute an offer to purchase or sell shares of, or a solicitation of proxies for, the Funds.
