Dividend Re-investment Plan

NB Global Floating Rate Income Fund Limited (the "Company") has historically offered the option for shareholders to receive cash dividends by way of scrip dividends. Under the Articles of the Company, Directors are permitted, in their absolute discretion, to offer scrip dividends, under which new shares are issued at the higher of the prevailing average mid-market quotation of the shares of the relevant class over five trading days or the net asset value per share of the relevant class. The Directors have stated an intention not to offer a scrip dividend at any time that the Shares trade at a material discount to the Net Asset Value per share.

The Directors are aware that recent take-up of the scrip dividend option has fallen. Accordingly, in light of the administrative costs associated with offering the scrip dividend and the current discount to NAV at which the shares trade, the Company has determined to suspend the scrip dividend option until further notice. The Directors will continue to monitor the discount to NAV at which the shares trade and, if deemed appropriate, may re-introduce the scrip dividend option in connection with future dividends.

However, the Board realises that certain investors who hold the shares would prefer to focus on the generation of capital growth and would rather re-invest the dividend proceeds in additional shares. Accordingly, a dividend re-investment plan is being introduced which would allow those shareholders who choose this option automatically to re-invest dividends on an efficient basis.

There are significant differences between the dividend re-investment plan and the historic offer of scrip dividends.  More information on the plan can be found under the Dividend Information section of the Company's website at www.nbgfrif.com.
