The Board of Trustees
Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund
100 Independence
610 Market Street
Philadelphia, PA 19106-2354
Dear Trustees:
Special Opportunities Fund has been a beneficial holder of shares of
Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund valued in excess of
$25,000 continuously for more than a year and plans to hold them through
the special meeting of shareholders targeted for November 2022. We hereby
submit the following proposal and supporting statement pursuant to rule
14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for inclusion in management's
proxy materials. We are available to discuss this matter at your
convenience.
RESOLVED: If shareholders of Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income
Fund (the Fund) do not approve the proposed merger of the Fund into Abrdn
Global Dynamic Dividend Fund ("AGD") at this meeting, they request that
the Board of Trustees take steps to cause the Fund to be liquidated or
converted to (or merged with) an exchange traded fund (ETF) or an
open-end mutual fund.
SUPPORTING STATEMENT
On August 11, 2022, the Fund announced that its Board of Trustees approved
the reorganization of the Fund into AGD. The Fund's shares have traded at
a persistent discount from NAV for years. Just before the announcement,
the discount stood at about 14%. If shareholders do not approve the merger
with AGD, we think the Board should provide a means for all shareholders
to realize net asset value for their shares via a liquidation of the Fund
or conversion into (or merger with) an ETF or an open-end fund.
Very truly yours,
/s/Phillip Goldstein
Phillip Goldstein
Chairman
