NEW YORK, June 1, 2009 — Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. (AMEX: NBW), Neuberger Berman Dividend Advantage Fund Inc. (AMEX: NDD), Neuberger Berman High Yield Strategies Fund (NYSE: NHS), Neuberger Berman Income Opportunity Fund Inc. (AMEX: NOX), Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. (AMEX: NBH), Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. (AMEX: NBO) and Neuberger Berman Real Estate Securities Income Fund Inc. (AMEX: NRO) (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) each announced today the preliminary results of its tender offer. The tender offers, all of which expired at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time on Friday, May 29, 2009 were, with the exception of NRO’s, oversubscribed. Because the number of shares tendered exceeded the number of shares each Fund other than NRO offered to purchase, each Fund other than NRO will purchase up to 10% of its outstanding common shares on a pro-rata basis in accordance with the number of shares duly tendered by each shareholder and the terms of its Offer to Purchase.
 

Based on preliminary information, the results of the tender offers are provided in the table below. The Funds currently expect that they will announce the final results of their tender offers on Thursday, June 4, 2009, the day after the period for delivering shares tendered by guaranteed delivery expires.
