NEUBERGER BERMAN REAL ESTATE SECURITIES INCOME FUND INC. 605 Third Avenue New York, New York 10158-0180 ADJOURNED MEETING NOTICE: JOINT SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS Dear Stockholder: I am writing to ask for your vote on a matter of importance to your Fund, the proposed merger of Neuberger Berman Realty Income Fund Inc. into Neuberger Berman Real Estate Securities Income Fund Inc. As explained more fully in the proxy materials sent to you in December, your Fund's Board of Directors believes that the larger combined Fund will benefit from efficiencies, from greater market liquidity for stockholders and, as one of the largest funds in its class, from greater attention by analysts. Unfortunately, the stockholder meeting called to approve the merger had to be adjourned on Friday because we did not have sufficient votes to approve the matter. We were close, and we plan to reconvene the meeting on Thursday, February 7, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. The Funds' records indicate that as of the record date for the meeting, November 29, 2007, you held shares of one or both of the Funds and, therefore, you are entitled to vote on the proposed merger. Voting promptly will help reduce your Fund's solicitation costs and will eliminate your receiving follow-up phone calls or mailings. Your vote can be cast quickly and easily by signing, dating and mailing the proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid return envelope. You may also be able to vote by telephone or Internet by following instructions on your proxy card. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF YOUR FUND RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE MERGER REMEMBER: Your vote is important, no matter how large or small your holdings may be. If you should have any questions regarding the meeting agenda or the execution of your proxy, please call the Funds at 1-877-461-1899. If we have not received your vote as February 7 approaches, you may receive a call asking you to vote. GEORGESON INC. HAS BEEN RETAINED BY THE FUNDS TO MAKE FOLLOW-UP PHONE CALLS TO HELP SECURE THE REMAINING VOTES NEEDED FOR THE MEETING. Thank you in advance for your participation and your consideration in this extremely important matter. On behalf of your Boards of Directors, /s/ Peter Sundman Peter Sundman Chairman of the Board Neuberger Berman Realty Income Fund Inc. Neuberger Berman Real Estate Securities Income Fund Inc. Internet and Telephone Voting Holders in many banks and brokerage firms will be able to vote by internet or by toll-free telephone. Instructions for internet and telephone voting in most cases will be included on the WHITE voting form provided by your broker or bank. We urge you to take advantage of the opportunity to vote by following the instructions on the WHITE voting form. ================================================================================ If you have questions or need assistance in voting your shares, please call: GEORGESON 17 State Street, 10th Floor New York, NY 10004 (866) 577-4995 (TOLL FREE) ================================================================================ -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
