OF

SPECIAL MEETING

OF

SHAREHOLDERS

SALOMON BROTHERS FUNDS

125 Broad Street, 10^th Floor

New York, New York 10004

September 2, 2005

Dear Shareholder:

A special meeting of your Salomon Brothers Fund will be held at American Conference Centers, 780 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10017, on October 21, 2005, at 4:00 p.m. (New York time), to vote on the proposals listed in the enclosed joint proxy statement.

Citigroup Inc., the parent company of the Funds’ investment adviser, Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc, has entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of its worldwide asset management business, including the Funds’ investment adviser, to Legg Mason, Inc. The sale will cause the Funds’ current investment advisory or management agreements to terminate. Certain Funds also have a subadvisory agreement which will terminate upon the consummation of the sale. In order for the management of each Fund to continue uninterrupted after the sale, we are asking the shareholders of each Fund to approve a new management agreement for the Fund and, in certain cases, a new subadvisory agreement. Each Fund’s total fees for advisory and administrative services will remain the same under its new management agreement and, where applicable, subadvisory agreement.

If you are a shareholder of an open-end Fund, you will also be asked to elect Directors of your Fund.

The Directors responsible for your Fund recommend that you vote FOR each of these proposals.

You are invited to attend the meeting in person. If you do not expect to attend the meeting, we encourage you to vote by completing, signing and dating the enclosed white proxy card and promptly returning it in the accompanying postage-paid return envelope OR by following the enclosed instructions to vote by telephone or over the Internet. Your vote on these matters is important.

If you have any questions about the proposals to be voted on, please call Computershare Fund Services at 1-866-718-0017.

Sincerely,

R. Jay Gerken

Chairman

IMPORTANT NEWS

FOR FUND SHAREHOLDERS

While we encourage you to read the full text of the enclosed Joint Proxy Statement, for your convenience, we have provided a brief overview of the matters to be voted on.

Questions and Answers

Q. What am I being asked to vote “FOR” in this proxy?

A. You are being asked to vote in favor of proposals to:

1. Approve a new management agreement for your Fund with your Fund’s current investment adviser. This new management agreement will take effect when your Fund’s current investment adviser becomes a subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc.

2. Approve a new subadvisory agreement, in relevant cases, with your Fund’s current subadviser. This new subadvisory agreement will take effect when your Fund’s current subadviser becomes a subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc.

3. Elect a Board of Directors for each of the open-end Funds.

Q. Why am I being asked to vote on a new management agreement and subadvisory agreement, if applicable?

A. Citigroup Inc. is the parent company of the Funds’ investment adviser and subadviser, if applicable. Citigroup has entered into an agreement to sell its asset management business, Citigroup Asset Management, which includes the Funds’ investment adviser and subadviser, to Legg Mason, Inc. The sale will cause the Funds’ current management or advisory agreements and, for the relevant Funds, the current subadvisory agreements, to terminate. The sale will not be completed unless a number of conditions are met. One of these conditions is that shareholders of a certain number of the Funds managed by Citigroup affiliates approve the proposed new agreements. Your Fund’s Board of Directors has approved, and recommends that you approve, the new agreements.

Q. What prompted the sale of Citigroup Asset Management to Legg Mason?

A. Citigroup advised that after careful review, it has determined that its emphasis should continue to be on expanding access to investment products through various distribution channels rather than focusing on managing proprietary and third party investment products.

Q. How will the sale of Citigroup Asset Management potentially benefit me?

A. The combination of Legg Mason and Citigroup Asset Management will create one of the world’s largest asset management organizations representing over $800 billion in assets under management. Following the transaction, Citigroup Asset Management will be part of an organization focused on the asset management business but will still have the opportunity to continue its strong working partnership with the Citigroup businesses and will also have new opportunities to grow.

Q. How does the proposed new management agreement differ from my Fund’s current agreement?

A. The current management agreement for certain Funds provides for investment management services only, with administrative services being provided pursuant to a separate administration agreement. The proposed new management agreement addresses the Adviser’s provision of both investment management and administrative services to your Fund. The Joint Proxy Statement describes other differences between your Fund’s current management agreement and the proposed new management agreement.

Q. How does the proposed new subadvisory agreement differ from my Fund’s current agreement?

A. The proposed new subadvisory agreement is substantially similar to the existing subadvisory agreement. The Joint Proxy Statement describes the differences between your Fund’s current subadvisory agreement and the proposed new subadvisory agreement.

i

Q. Will my Fund’s total fees for advisory and administrative services increase?

A. No. The total fees for advisory and administrative services will remain the same. For those Funds currently operating under separate management and administration agreements, both functions will now be covered under one agreement and shareholders of the Funds will no longer pay a separate administration fee. As a result, the management fee for certain Funds will exceed the current advisory fee, but in no case will it exceed the current combined advisory and administrative fee.

Q. Will there be any adviser or subadviser changes?

A. Immediately following the sale of Citigroup Asset Management to Legg Mason, the adviser and, in relevant cases, the subadviser that currently manages your Fund will continue to manage the Fund. However, Legg Mason has advised the Fund Board members that it intends to combine the fixed income investment operations of Citigroup Asset Management with those of Legg Mason’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Western Asset Management Company, and its affiliates (“Western Asset”). Western Asset focuses on managing fixed income assets on behalf of institutional separate accounts, retirement plans and other institutional investors, including mutual funds. As of June 30, 2005, Western Asset managed approximately $230 billion in assets on behalf of its clients.

Legg Mason has advised the Fund Board members that, after the closing of the sale, Legg Mason will take steps to combine the investment management operations of Western Asset with the fixed income operations of the adviser and, in relevant cases, the subadviser to the Funds. Among other things, this may involve Western Asset, the adviser and, in relevant cases, the subadviser to the Funds sharing common systems and procedures, employees (including portfolio managers), investment and trading platforms, and other resources. Legg Mason may also wish to combine other Citigroup Asset Management operations with those of other Legg Mason subsidiaries.

It is expected that these combination processes, as well as the likelihood that certain fixed-income portfolio managers or portfolio management teams may not remain with Citigroup Asset Management advisers or subadvisers or join Western Asset, will result in changes to portfolio managers or portfolio management teams for a number of the Funds, subject to Board consent and appropriate notice to shareholders and that, in other cases, the current portfolio managers or portfolio management teams will remain in place. Legg Mason has also advised the Fund Board members that, in the future, it may recommend that Western Asset or other Legg Mason subsidiaries be appointed as the adviser or subadviser to some or all of the Funds, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.

Q. How do the Board members suggest I vote in connection with the new management agreement and, if applicable, new subadvisory agreement?

A. After careful consideration, the Board of your Fund unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the new management agreement and, if applicable, new subadvisory agreement.

Q. How do the Board members suggest that I vote in connection with the election of Board members to the open-end funds?

A. The Board of each open-end Fund also unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the nominees for the Board.

Q. Will my vote make a difference?

A. Your vote is needed to ensure that the proposals can be acted upon. We encourage all shareholders to participate in the governance of their Fund.

Q. Are the Funds paying for preparation, printing and mailing of this proxy?

A. No, all costs will be borne by Citigroup and Legg Mason whether or not the proposals are successful.

Q. Who do I call if I have questions?

A. If you need any assistance, or have any questions regarding the proposals or how to vote your shares, please call Computershare Fund Services at 1-866-718-0017.

Q. How do I vote my shares?

A. You can vote your shares by attending the meeting, or if you do not expect to attend, by completing and signing the enclosed white proxy card, and mailing it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. Alternatively, you may vote by telephone by calling the toll-free number on the proxy card or by computer by going to the Internet address provided on the proxy card and following the instructions, using your proxy card as a guide.

It is important that you vote promptly.

VOTE REQUIRED AND MANNER OF VOTING PROXIES

A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Meeting. For the Funds of Series Fund, Variable Fund and Institutional Fund, one-third of the shares entitled to vote at each Meeting, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum of shareholders at that Meeting. For each of the other Funds, a majority of the shares entitled to vote at each Meeting, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum of shareholders at that Meeting.

Votes cast by proxy or in person at each Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the Meeting. The inspectors of election will treat abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name,” as to which proxies have been returned but (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as present for purposes of determining a quorum.

Broker-dealer firms, including Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”) and other Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”) affiliates, holding shares of a Fund in “street name” for the benefit of their customers and clients, will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on each Item before the Meetings. The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) has taken the position that broker-dealers that are members of the NYSE and that have not received instructions from a customer prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firms’ request for voting instructions may not vote such customer’s shares on the new management agreements in Item 1 or the new subadvisory agreements in Item 2. A signed proxy card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of Fund shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner’s shares are to be voted on a proposal may be deemed to be an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the applicable proposal.

If you hold shares of a Fund through a bank or other financial institution or intermediary (called a service agent) that has entered into a service agreement with the Fund or the Fund’s distributor, the service agent may be the record holder of your shares. At the Meetings, a service agent will vote shares for which it receives instructions from its customers in accordance with those instructions. A signed proxy card or other authorization by a shareholder that does not specify how the shareholder’s shares should be voted on a proposal may be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the applicable proposal. If a service agent is not a member of the NYSE, it may be permissible for the service agent to vote

3

shares with respect to which it has not received specific voting instructions from its customers on Items 1, 2 and 3. Some service agents are affiliates of Citigroup and, therefore, have an interest in the outcome of the voting on the new management agreements in Item 1 and the new subadvisory agreements in Item 2, and stand to benefit if these proposals are approved. For example, if shareholders of the Funds fail to approve the new management agreements and the new subadvisory agreements, the transaction involving Citigroup, which is described below under the heading “Description of the Transaction,” may not be consummated or the payments to Citigroup in connection with the transaction may be reduced. With respect to any shares for which a Citigroup-affiliated service agent (other than a broker-dealer) is the holder of record and for which it does not receive voting instructions from its customers, such service agent intends to vote those shares in the same proportion as the votes received from its customers for which instructions have been received.

Shares of Variable Fund are offered only to separate accounts established by participating insurance companies to fund the benefits for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (the “Participating Insurance Companies”). In accordance with current law and interpretations thereof, Participating Insurance Companies will vote shares held in the separate accounts in a manner consistent with voting instructions timely received from the holders of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies. A signed proxy card or other authorization by a holder that does not specify how the holder’s shares should be voted on a proposal may be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the applicable proposal. Those persons who have a voting interest at the close of business on August 22, 2005 will be entitled to submit instructions to their Participating Insurance Company. The Participating Insurance Companies will vote all their shares in the same proportion as the voting instructions actually received from the holders of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies. For purposes of this Joint Proxy Statement, all reference to “shareholders” shall refer to Participating Insurance Companies and not to individual contract or policy holders.

If you beneficially own shares that are held in “street name” through a broker-dealer or that are held of record by a service agent, or if you hold shares through a variable annuity contract or a variable life insurance policy, and if you do not give specific voting instructions for your shares, they may not be voted at all or, as described above, may be voted in a manner that you may not intend. Therefore, you are strongly encouraged to give your broker-dealer, service agent or Participating Insurance Company specific instructions as to how you want your shares to be voted.

Approval of Items 1 and 2 requires the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the relevant Fund. Under applicable law, the vote of “a majority of the outstanding voting securities” means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting securities of the Fund that are present at the Meeting or represented by proxy if holders of shares representing more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

Each nominee named in Item 3 must be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting by the shareholders of the relevant Corporation. In the case of a Corporation that comprises one or more series, the shares of each series will be counted together as a single class in determining the results of the voting for Item 3.

If you are a shareholder of a closed-end fund, you are not being asked to elect Board Members at this time. Each of the Funds which is a closed-end fund is listed in Appendix B (each a “Closed-end Fund,” and collectively, the “Closed-end Funds”). Unlike open-end funds, closed-end funds generally hold annual meetings of their shareholders at which Board Members are elected, and many of the Closed-end Funds covered by this Joint Proxy Statement have already held their 2005 annual meetings or are scheduled to hold meetings shortly at which Board Members will be elected.

The following table summarizes these voting requirements:

	Shareholders Entitled to Vote	Vote Required for Approval
Item 1 (Approval of New Management Agreement)	Shareholders of the relevant Fund, voting separately	Approved by a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the relevant Fund
Item 2 (Approval of New Subadvisory Agreement)	Shareholders of the relevant Fund, voting separately	Approved by a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the relevant Fund

4

	Shareholders Entitled to Vote	Vote Required for Approval
Item 3 (Election of Board Members)	Shareholders of the relevant Fund (other than the Closed-end Funds) voting together with shareholders of the other Funds, if any, that are series of the same Corporation	Each nominee must be elected by a plurality of the shares voted at the Meeting

Approval of each proposal will occur only if a sufficient number of votes at the Meeting are cast FOR that proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered “votes cast” and, therefore, do not constitute a vote FOR. Abstentions and broker non-votes effectively result in a vote AGAINST Items 1 and 2. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote on Item 3.

Properly executed white proxy cards will be voted by the persons named therein in the manner directed by the shareholder executing the proxy. Properly executed white proxy cards that do not give specific direction with respect to specific proposals will be voted FOR Items 1, 2 and 3 and in the best judgment of the named proxies as to any other matters.

ITEM 1—TO APPROVE A NEW MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

At the Meeting, you will be asked to approve a new management agreement between your Fund and the investment adviser (each a “New Management Agreement” and collectively, the “New Management Agreements”). A general description of the proposed New Management Agreement and a general comparison of the proposed New Management Agreement and the investment management agreements currently in effect for the Funds (each, a “Current Management Agreement” and collectively, the “Current Management Agreements”) are included below. More detailed comparisons are included in Appendix C. The form of the New Management Agreement is attached hereto as Appendix D.

Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc (“SBAM” or the “Adviser”) currently provides investment advisory services to the Funds. The Adviser is responsible for the Funds’ overall investment strategy and its implementation. The date of each Fund’s Current Management Agreement and the date on which it was last approved by shareholders and approved for continuance by the Board is provided in Appendix E. Each Current Management Agreement has been approved for continuance since July 2005.

The Board Members are proposing a New Management Agreement for each Fund because the Current Management Agreements will terminate when the Adviser’s parent company, Citigroup, sells its interest in the Adviser to Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”). This transaction is discussed in more detail below. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that an advisory agreement of an investment company provide for automatic termination of the agreement in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act). A sale of a controlling block of an investment adviser’s voting securities generally is deemed to result in an assignment of the investment adviser’s advisory agreements. The consummation of the transaction discussed below will constitute a sale of a controlling block of voting securities of the Adviser that will result in the automatic termination of each Current Management Agreement.

Description of the Transaction

On June 23, 2005, Citigroup entered into a definitive agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with Legg Mason under which Citigroup will sell substantially all of its asset management business, Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”), to Legg Mason in exchange for the broker-dealer and investment banking businesses of Legg Mason, a number of shares of Legg Mason common stock representing 4.39% of the outstanding voting securities of Legg Mason and a number of shares of non-voting, convertible preferred stock representing approximately 10% of the pro-forma common stock of Legg Mason (on an as converted basis) and, subject to certain adjustments, approximately $550 million in the form of a five-year loan facility provided to Legg Mason by Citigroup Corporate and Investment Banking (the “Transaction”). Subject to certain adjustments, the total value of the Transaction (based on the average price of Legg Mason common stock prior to June 23, 2005) is approximately $3.7 billion. As a result of the Transaction, the Adviser to the Funds will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Legg Mason.

Consummation of the Transaction is subject to certain terms and conditions, including, among others: (1) Citigroup and Legg Mason obtaining certain required regulatory approvals, (2) consent by certain advisory clients of CAM representing no less than 75% of the revenue attributable to the assets under management for such clients to continue their advisory relationship with CAM following the consummation of the Transaction and (3) conversion of Legg Mason’s subsidiary, Legg Mason Trust, fsb, from a federal thrift charter to a trust company chartered under state law or the National Bank Act that is not a bank, thrift or savings association under the Bank Holding Company Act. Although there is no assurance that the

5

Transaction will be completed, if each of the terms and conditions is satisfied or waived, the closing of the Transaction is expected by Citigroup and Legg Mason to take place during the fourth quarter of 2005.

Legg Mason, whose principal executive offices are at 100 Light Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202, is a financial services holding company. Legg Mason is a holding company that currently provides asset management, securities brokerage, investment banking and related financial services through its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2005, Legg Mason’s asset management operation had aggregate assets under management of approximately $397 billion, of which, approximately $248 billion (62%) represented fixed income assets, and $75 billion (19%) represented assets in mutual and closed-end funds sponsored by Legg Mason and its affiliates.

In anticipation of the Transaction, members of the Funds’ Boards met in person on July 11, 2005 and during the week of August 8, 2005 for purposes of, among other things, considering whether it would be in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders to approve the New Management Agreement between the Fund and the Fund’s Adviser. The 1940 Act requires that the New Management Agreement be approved by the Fund’s shareholders in order for it to become effective. At those Board meetings, and for the reasons discussed below (see “Board Considerations” below), each Board, including a majority of the Board Members who are not “interested persons” of the Funds or the Adviser as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Board Members”), unanimously approved each New Management Agreement applicable to the Funds overseen by that Board and unanimously recommended its approval by shareholders in order to assure continuity of investment advisory services to the Fund after the Transaction. In the event shareholders of a Fund do not approve the New Management Agreement, the Fund’s Board will take such action as it deems to be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

It is anticipated that the names of the Funds and the Adviser will remain the same immediately following the closing of the Transaction, but will eventually change. Upon closing of the Transaction, Legg Mason will have a license which will permit the Funds and the Adviser to continue using their current names for up to twelve months following the closing.

Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act

Citigroup is relying on Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act. Section 15(f) provides in substance that when a sale of a controlling interest in an investment adviser occurs, the investment adviser or any of its affiliated persons may receive any amount or benefit in connection with the sale so long as two conditions are satisfied. The first condition of Section 15(f) is that during the three-year period following the consummation of a transaction, at least 75% of the investment company’s board of directors must not be “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment adviser or predecessor adviser. Each of the Funds currently meets this test. Second, an “unfair burden” must not be imposed on the investment company as a result of the transaction relating to the sale of such interest, or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto. The term “unfair burden” (as defined in the 1940 Act) includes any arrangement during the two-year period after the transaction whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor adviser), or any “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of such an adviser, receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the investment company or its security holders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services) or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the investment company (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter for the investment company). Citigroup and Legg Mason have agreed under the Transaction Agreement not to take, and have informed the Boards that they will not take, any action that is not contemplated by the Transaction, or fail to take any action, that to their respective knowledge would cause any of the requirements of Section 15(f) not to be met.

The New Management Agreement

As noted above, under the requirements of the 1940 Act, each Fund is required to enter into a new advisory agreement as a result of the Transaction. The Current Management Agreements pursuant to which the Funds currently receive investment advisory services differ in many cases from Fund to Fund and in some cases contain outdated provisions. CAM management has proposed that the Funds use this opportunity to both standardize the terms of the agreements used in the fund complex and to update the agreements. In addition, for those Funds currently operating under separate investment management and fund administration agreements, both functions will now be covered under one agreement.

The fees payable to the Adviser under each New Management Agreement will in each case be no greater than the aggregate fees currently payable to the Adviser by the Fund for investment management and fund administration services. In addition, the Adviser has assured each Board that it will continue to provide the same level of advisory and administrative services to each Fund under the New Management Agreements as provided under the Current Management Agreements and any separate administrative agreements. CAM has assured the Boards that the nature and scope of services provided under the Current Management Agreements will continue undiminished under the New Management Agreements.

6

The New Management Agreements reflect, consistent with recent regulatory initiatives, an increased role for a Fund’s Board particularly in areas where the Adviser may have a conflict of interest in providing services to a Fund. For example, in recent years the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has focused on proxy voting by investment companies, adopting new disclosure and reporting requirements, and focusing on the duty of an investment adviser to vote proxies in the best interests of a fund and its shareholders. The New Management Agreements require the Adviser to exercise voting and other rights pertaining to a Fund’s portfolio securities subject to such direction as a Fund’s Board may provide. Also, in recent years there has been an increased focus on the payment of brokerage fees by investment companies in connection with their portfolio transactions, and the role of a fund’s adviser in selecting brokers to execute a fund’s trades, in particular where the adviser may benefit directly, such as in the use of “soft dollars” (as described below). The New Management Agreements, while permitting the Adviser to select brokers for the Funds and to utilize soft dollars as now permitted under applicable law, permits the Funds’ Boards to adopt policies and procedures relating to brokerage practices that may limit the broad authority granted to the Adviser in the New Management Agreements.

The New Management Agreements also include fund administration services as well as investment management functions. Because both of these functions are currently performed by personnel of the Adviser or its affiliates, and because of the importance of all of these functions, it is proposed that both functions be provided under one agreement, which will be subject to annual review by a Fund’s Board both as to the services provided and the fees payable thereunder.

Comparison of Current Management Agreements to the New Management Agreement

Set forth below is a general description of the terms of the New Management Agreements and a general comparison with the terms of the Current Management Agreements. A copy of the form of New Management Agreement is included in this Joint Proxy Statement as Appendix D and you should refer to Appendix D for the complete terms of the New Management Agreement. A more detailed examination of the material differences between the New Management Agreements and the Current Management Agreements on a Fund by Fund basis is set forth on Appendix C, and you should refer to Appendix C to determine how the New Management Agreement may differ in any material respect from your Fund’s Current Management Agreement.

Fees. There is no change in the aggregate fees payable by any Fund to the Adviser for investment management and fund administration services under the New Management Agreement. However, as noted below, the New Management Agreement addresses the provision of both investment management and administrative services to the Fund, and the fees payable under the Agreements therefore include the fees for both investment management and administrative services. For certain Funds, the fee for administrative services is currently paid to the Adviser or its affiliates under separate agreements. The current fee schedule for management services and, if applicable, administrative services for each Fund is set forth in Appendix E.

Investment Management Services. Each New Management Agreement provides that, subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board, the Adviser will regularly provide the Fund with investment research, advice, management and supervision; will furnish a continuous investment program for the Fund’s portfolio of securities and other investments consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions; will determine from time to time what securities and other investments will be purchased, retained or sold by the Fund; and will implement those decisions, all subject to the provisions of the Fund’s governing documents, the 1940 Act, the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and other applicable federal and state law, as well as any specific policies adopted by the Fund’s Board and disclosed to the Adviser. Each Current Management Agreement contains similar provisions.

As noted above, under each Fund’s New Management Agreement, the Adviser is authorized to place orders pursuant to its investment determinations for the Fund either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer, foreign currency dealer, futures commission merchant or others selected by it. Subject to any policies and procedures of the Fund’s Board that may modify or restrict the Adviser’s authority regarding the execution of the Fund’s portfolio transactions provided in the Agreement and described below, brokers or dealers may be selected by the Adviser who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (“1934 Act”) to the Funds and/or the other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion, a practice commonly referred to as “soft dollars”. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for a Fund that is in excess of the amount of commission or spread another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed either in terms of that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities that the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion.

7

Many of the Current Management Agreements also authorize the Adviser to select brokers and dealers for the execution of portfolio transactions, with such limitations as are also described in Appendix C. Many of the Current Management Agreements also provide that the Adviser must seek the best competitive execution price in selecting brokers or dealers to execute transactions on behalf of a Fund. However, none of the Current Management Agreements give specific authority to the Board of a Fund, as do the New Management Agreements, to adopt policies and procedures that may modify or restrict the Adviser’s authority regarding trades for the Fund, and some of the Current Management Agreements do not address the selection of brokers or dealers at all.

Each New Management Agreement further provides that the Adviser will provide advice and recommendations with respect to other aspects of the business and affairs of the Fund, and will exercise voting rights, rights to consent to corporate action and any other rights pertaining to a Fund’s portfolio securities subject to such direction as the Board may provide, and will perform such other functions of investment management and supervision as may be directed by the Board. Except as described in Appendix C, the Current Management Agreements do not have similar provisions. None of the Current Management Agreements requires or otherwise mentions proxy voting on behalf of a Fund. None of the Current Management Agreements gives specific authority to the Board of the Fund to provide direction to the Adviser with respect to proxy voting.

Fund Administration Services. Each New Management Agreement provides that the Adviser will also perform such administrative and management services as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Fund as necessary for the operation of the Fund, subject to the direction and control of the Board. Such administrative services include (i) supervising the overall administration of the Fund, including negotiation of contracts and fees with and the monitoring of performance and billings of the Fund’s transfer agent, shareholder servicing agents, custodian and other independent contractors or agents; (ii) providing certain compliance, fund accounting, regulatory reporting, and tax reporting services; (iii) preparing or participating in the preparation of Board materials, registration statements, proxy statements and reports and other communications to shareholders; (iv) maintaining the Fund’s existence; and (v) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining the registration and qualification of the Fund’s shares under federal and state laws. The Adviser is also required to supply the Fund’s Board and officers with all information and reports reasonably required by them and reasonably available to the Adviser. The Adviser further oversees the maintenance and preservation of all books and records with respect to the Fund’s securities transactions and the keeping of the Fund’s books of account in accordance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations. In addition, each New Management Agreement requires the Adviser to furnish the Fund, at its own expense, with office facilities, including space, furniture and equipment and all personnel reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund. Each New Management Agreement also requires the Adviser to provide each Fund with persons satisfactory to the Fund’s Board to serve as officers and employees of the Fund and to permit any of its directors, officers and employees, who may be elected as Board Members or officers of the Fund to serve in the capacities in which they are elected.

Each of the Funds currently has in place agreements providing for similar administrative services to be provided by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. In some cases, as in the New Management Agreement, these administrative services are included with investment management services in one agreement. In other cases, a Fund has entered into a separate agreement covering the provision of administrative services with the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser has provided assurances to the Boards that it will provide at least the same level of services under a Fund’s New Management Agreement as are currently provided under the existing management or administrative services agreement pertaining to that Fund.

Payment of Expenses. The New Management Agreement requires the Adviser to bear all expenses, and to furnish all necessary services, facilities and personnel in connection with its responsibilities to provide the Fund with investment advisory and administrative services under the New Management Agreement. Except for these expenses, the Adviser is not responsible for a Fund’s expenses as described more fully in Appendix C. As described in Appendix C, each Current Management Agreement also requires that the Adviser bear all expenses in connection with the performance of its services under the Agreement.

Conflicts of Interest. As noted above, the New Management Agreement contains several provisions that address potential conflicts of interest that may arise in a typical investment advisory relationship. In addition to those provisions discussed above, the New Management Agreement provides that the Adviser may not deal with itself, or with members of a Fund’s Board or any principal underwriter of the Fund, as principals or agents, in making purchases or sales of securities or other property for the Fund, nor may the Adviser purchase any securities from an underwriting or selling group in which the Adviser or its affiliates is participating, or arrange for purchases and sales of securities between a Fund and another account advised by the Adviser or its affiliates, except in each case as permitted under the 1940 Act, the applicable rules and

8

regulations promulgated thereunder by the SEC and interpretive guidance issued thereunder by the SEC staff and in accordance with such policies and procedures as may be adopted by a Fund from time to time. The New Management Agreement specifically provides that personnel of the Adviser, even if serving the Fund as a Board Member, officer or employee, may nonetheless engage in any other business or devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar nature or a dissimilar nature. In addition, the Adviser may engage in any other business or render services of any kind, including investment advisory and management services, to any other fund, firm, individual or association. However, the New Management Agreement also provides that if the purchase or sale of securities consistent with the investment policies of a Fund or one or more other accounts of the Adviser is considered at or about the same time, transactions in such securities must be allocated among the accounts in a manner deemed equitable by the Adviser. In addition, if transactions of a Fund and another client are combined, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations, such transactions must be consistent with the Adviser’s policies and procedures as presented to the Board from time to time.

As more fully described in Appendix C, certain of the Current Management Agreements address some, but not all, of these potential conflicts.

Limitation on Liability. Under each New Management Agreement, the Adviser assumes no responsibility other than to render the services called for by the Agreement in good faith, and the Adviser is not liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law, or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of securities transactions for a Fund. The Adviser is not protected however, for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Agreement. This same limitation of liability applies to affiliates of the Adviser who may provide services to the Fund as contemplated by the New Management Agreement.

Except as described in Appendix C, each Current Management Agreement contains similar provisions that limit the liability of the Adviser to the Fund, except for liability for willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence on its part in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Agreement. The Current Management Agreements, however, do not specifically mention losses arising out of any investment or any act or omission in the execution of securities transactions for a Fund. Certain of the Current Management Agreements also require the Adviser to exercise its best judgment in rendering services under the Agreement, but, unlike the New Management Agreements, do not also specifically require the Adviser to act in good faith. The Adviser has informed the Boards that the same standard of care applicable under the Current Management Agreements is intended to apply under the New Management Agreements, as well. These differences are more fully described in Appendix C.

Term and Continuance. If approved by shareholders of a Fund, the New Management Agreement for the Fund will terminate, unless sooner terminated as set forth therein, two years from the date of implementation. Thereafter, if not terminated, each New Management Agreement will continue in effect from year to year if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by the Board or (ii) by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, provided that in either event the continuance is also approved by a majority of the Board Members who are not interested persons of any party to the New Management Agreement. The Current Management Agreements have similar provisions for their term and continuance, although the initial dates of the Agreements differ, and the initial term has elapsed in most cases.

Termination. The New Management Agreement for each Fund provides that the Agreement may be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty by the Fund upon not more than sixty days’ and not less than thirty days’ written notice to the Adviser or by the Adviser upon not less than ninety days’ written notice to the Fund. A Fund may effect termination by action of the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, accompanied by appropriate notice. Both the Current Management Agreement and the New Management Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of their “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act). Except as described in Appendix C, the Current Management Agreements contain similar termination provisions.

Board Considerations

At meetings held during the week of August 8, 2005, the Board of each Fund, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the New Management Agreement between the Fund and its Adviser. The exact date of each Board’s meeting is noted in Appendix F.

9

To assist the Boards in their consideration of the New Management Agreements, Legg Mason provided materials and information about Legg Mason, including its financial condition and asset management capabilities and organization, and Legg Mason and CAM provided materials and information about the Transaction between Legg Mason and Citigroup. The Independent Board Members, through their independent legal counsel, also requested and received additional information from CAM and Legg Mason in connection with their consideration of the agreements. The additional information was provided in advance of and at the August meetings. In addition, the Independent Board Members consulted with their counsel on various occasions on, and received from their counsel a memorandum outlining, among other things, the legal standards and certain other considerations relevant to the Board Members’ deliberations.

On July 11, 2005 and during the week of August 8, 2005, members of the Boards discussed with CAM management and certain Legg Mason representatives the Transaction and Legg Mason’s general plans and intentions regarding the Funds, including the preservation, strengthening and growth of CAM’s business and its combination with Legg Mason’s business. The Board Members also inquired about the plans for and anticipated roles and responsibilities of certain CAM employees and officers after the Transaction. The Independent Board Members of each Board also conferred separately and with their counsel about the Transaction on a number of occasions, including in connection with the July discussion and August meetings.

At each Board’s August meeting, representatives of CAM and Legg Mason made presentations to and responded to questions from the Board. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials provided, the Independent Board Members met in executive session with their counsel to consider the New Management Agreements.

Among other things, the Board Members considered:

(i) the reputation, financial strength and resources of Legg Mason and its investment advisory subsidiaries;

(ii) that Legg Mason and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Western Asset Management Company and its affiliates (“Western Asset”), are experienced and respected asset management firms, and that Legg Mason has advised the Board Members that (a) it intends to combine the fixed income investment operations (including money market fund operations) of CAM with those of Western Asset and may also wish to combine other CAM operations with those of other Legg Mason subsidiaries; (b) after the closing of the Transaction, it will take steps to combine the investment management operations of Western Asset with the fixed income operations of the Adviser and, in relevant cases, the subadviser to the Funds, which, among other things, may involve Western Asset, the Adviser and, in relevant cases, the subadviser to the Funds sharing common systems and procedures, employees (including portfolio managers), investment and trading platforms, and other resources; (c) it is expected that these combination processes will result in changes to portfolio managers or portfolio management teams for a number of the Funds, subject to Board consent and appropriate notice to shareholders, and that, in other cases, the current portfolio managers or portfolio management teams will remain in place; and (d) in the future, it may recommend that Western Asset or other Legg Mason subsidiaries be appointed as the adviser or subadviser to some or all of the Funds, subject to applicable regulatory requirements;

(iii) that CAM management and Legg Mason have advised the Boards that following the Transaction, there is not expected to be any diminution in the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Funds and their shareholders by the Adviser, including compliance services;

(iv) that Legg Mason has advised the Boards that it has no present intention to alter the expense waivers and reimbursements currently in effect and, while it reserves the right to do so in the future, it would consult with the applicable Boards before making any changes;

(v) the assurances from Citigroup and Legg Mason that, for a three year period following the closing of the Transaction, the Adviser will have substantially the same access to the Citigroup sales force when distributing shares of the Funds as is currently provided to CAM and that other arrangements between the Adviser and Citigroup sales channels will be preserved;

(vi) for Funds currently having an investment subadviser, the existence of that subadvisory relationship, the division of responsibilities between the Adviser and the subadviser and the services provided by each of them;

(vii) that Legg Mason and Citigroup intend to enter into an agreement in connection with the Transaction under which Citigroup-affiliated broker-dealers will continue to offer the Funds as investment products, and the potential benefits to Fund shareholders from this and other third-party distribution access;

10

(viii) the potential benefits to Fund shareholders from being part of a combined fund family with Legg Mason-sponsored funds, including possible economies of scale and access to investment opportunities;

(ix) that Citigroup and Legg Mason would derive benefits from the Transaction and that as a result, they have a financial interest in the matters that were being considered;

(x) the potential effects of regulatory restrictions on the Funds if Citigroup-affiliated broker-dealers remain the Funds’ principal underwriters;

(xi) the fact that each Fund’s total advisory and administrative fees will not increase by virtue of the New Management Agreements, but will remain the same;

(xii) the terms and conditions of the New Management Agreements, including the differences from the Current Management Agreements (see “Comparison of Current Management Agreements to the New Management Agreement” above and Appendix C), and the benefits of a single, uniform form of agreement covering these services;

(xiii) that in July 2005 each Board had performed a full annual review of or initially approved, if applicable, the Current Management Agreements as required by the 1940 Act, and had determined that the Adviser has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide the advisory and administrative services currently provided to each Fund; and that the advisory and/or management fees paid by each Fund, taking into account any applicable agreed-upon fee reductions and breakpoints, represent reasonable compensation to the Adviser in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the investment performance of each Fund and the Adviser, the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds, the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as each Fund grows, the reflection of these economies of scale in the fee levels for the benefit of Fund shareholders, and such other matters as the Board Members considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment (the date of each Board’s most recent full annual review of the Current Management Agreements is noted in Appendix E);

(xiv) that the Funds would not bear the costs of obtaining shareholder approval of the New Management Agreements; and

(xv) that under the Transaction Agreement, Citigroup and Legg Mason have agreed not to take any action that is not contemplated by the Transaction or fail to take any action that to their respective knowledge would cause any of the requirements of Section 15(f) not to be met.

Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below.

In their deliberations, the Board Members considered information received in connection with their recent approval of continuance of each Current Management Agreement in addition to information provided by Legg Mason and CAM in connection with their evaluation of the terms and conditions of the New Management Agreements. The Board Members did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Board Member attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board Members evaluated all information available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Board Members, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, concluded that the terms of the New Management Agreements are fair and reasonable, that the fees stated therein are reasonable in light of the services to be provided to each Fund, and that the New Management Agreements should be approved and recommended to Fund shareholders.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services Provided

In evaluating the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser under the New Management Agreements, the Board Members considered, among other things, the expected impact, if any, of the Transaction on the operations, facilities, organization and personnel of the Adviser; the potential implications of regulatory restrictions on the Funds following the Transaction; the ability of the Adviser to perform its duties after the Transaction, taking into account, where the Fund currently has a subadviser, the delegation of certain duties to the subadviser; and any anticipated changes to the current investment and other practices of the Funds. The Board Members considered Legg Mason’s advice that, after the closing of the Transaction, Legg Mason intends to review all aspects of the Funds’ operations (including equity, fixed income and money market fund operations). The Board Members considered Legg Mason’s advice that it intends to combine the fixed income investment operations of CAM with those of Western Asset and may also wish to combine other CAM operations with those of other Legg Mason subsidiaries. The Board Members noted that Western Asset is an experienced and

11

respected institutional asset manager that focuses on managing fixed income assets on behalf of institutional separate accounts, retirement plans and other institutional investors, including mutual funds. The Board Members further noted that, as of June 30, 2005, Western Asset managed approximately $230 billion in assets on behalf of its clients. The Board Members considered Legg Mason’s advice that, after the closing of the sale, Legg Mason will take steps to combine the investment management operations of Western Asset with the fixed income operations of the Adviser and, in relevant cases, Citigroup Asset Management Limited (the “Subadviser”) to the Funds, which, among other things, may involve Western Asset, the Adviser and, in relevant cases, the Subadviser to the Funds sharing common systems and procedures, employees (including portfolio managers), investment and trading platforms, and other resources. In the case of Salomon Brothers High Yield Bond Fund and Salomon Brothers Strategic Bond Fund, both series of Series Fund; Salomon Brothers Variable High Yield Bond Fund and Salomon Brothers Variable Strategic Bond Fund, both series of Variable Fund; and Salomon Brothers Institutional Emerging Markets Debt Fund and Salomon Brothers Institutional High Yield Bond Fund, both series of Institutional Fund, as well as Salomon Brothers Capital and Income Fund Inc., Salomon Brothers Emerging Markets Debt Fund Inc., Salomon Brothers Emerging Markets Floating Rate Fund Inc., Salomon Brothers Emerging Markets Income Fund Inc., Salomon Brothers Emerging Markets Income Fund II Inc., Salomon Brothers Global High Income Fund Inc., Salomon Brothers Global Partners Income Fund Inc., Salomon Brothers High Income Fund Inc, Salomon Brothers High Income Fund II Inc, Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc., Salomon Brothers 2008 Worldwide Dollar Government Term Trust Inc, Salomon Brothers Variable Rate Strategic Fund Inc. and Salomon Brothers Worldwide Income Fund Inc., the applicable Boards considered the likelihood that certain fixed income portfolio managers or portfolio management teams may not remain with CAM advisers or subadvisers or join the Western Asset organization, and considered assurances from senior officers of Legg Mason and Western Asset as to Western Asset’s resources and experience in managing similar investment asset classes. The Board Members also considered Legg Mason’s advice that it is expected that the combination processes described above will result in additional changes to portfolio managers or portfolio management teams for a number of the Funds, subject to Board consent and appropriate notice to shareholders, and that, in other cases, the current portfolio managers or portfolio management teams will remain in place. The Board Members also considered Legg Mason’s advice that, in the future, Legg Mason may recommend that Western Asset or other Legg Mason subsidiaries be appointed as the adviser or subadviser to some or all of the Funds, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.

The Board Members were advised that if Citigroup-affiliated broker-dealers remain the Funds’ principal underwriters, the Funds would continue to be subject to restrictions concerning certain transactions involving Citigroup affiliates (for example, transactions with a Citigroup broker-dealer acting as principal) absent regulatory relief or clarification.

Based on their review of the materials provided and the assurances they had received from CAM management and Legg Mason, the Board Members determined that the Transaction was not expected to adversely affect the nature and quality of services provided by the Adviser and that the Transaction was not expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Adviser to provide those services. It was noted, however, that, in addition to the changes previously described, it is expected that there will be other changes in personnel following the Transaction or after the combination of CAM’s operations with those of Legg Mason subsidiaries. The Board Members noted that if current portfolio managers or other personnel cease to be available, each Board would consider all available options, which could include seeking the investment advisory or other services of Legg Mason affiliates or investment advisers not affiliated with Legg Mason. In this regard, it was noted that Legg Mason has indicated that it could potentially make available to the Adviser additional portfolio management resources in the event of loss of CAM personnel for particular investment disciplines. Accordingly, the Board Members concluded that, overall, they were satisfied at the present time with assurances from Legg Mason and CAM as to the expected nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Funds under the New Management Agreements.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability

In evaluating the costs of the services to be provided by the Adviser under the New Management Agreements and the profitability to the Adviser of their relationships with the Funds, the Board Members considered, among other things, whether advisory and administrative (or management) fees or other expenses would change as a result of the Transaction. Based on their review of the materials provided and the assurances they had received from CAM management and Legg Mason, the Board Members determined that the Transaction would not increase the fees payable for advisory and administrative (or management) services and that overall Fund expenses were not expected to increase materially as a result of the Transaction. The Board Members noted that it was not possible to predict how the Transaction would affect the Adviser’s profitability from its relationship with the Funds, but that they had been satisfied in their most recent review of the Current Management Agreements that the Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Funds was not excessive. It was noted that in conjunction with that review, the Board Members had obtained an independent accountant’s

12

review of the methodology used to determine the Adviser’s profitability. The Board Members concluded that, overall, they were satisfied that currently, the Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with each Fund was not excessive.

The Board Members noted that they expect to receive Adviser profitability information on an annual basis and thus be in a position to evaluate whether any adjustments in Fund fees and/or fee breakpoints would be appropriate.

Fall-Out Benefits

In evaluating the fall-out benefits to be received by the Adviser under the New Management Agreements, the Board Members considered whether the Transaction would have an impact on the fall-out benefits received by virtue of the Current Management Agreements. Based on their review of the materials provided, including materials received in connection with their recent approval of the continuance of each Current Management Agreement, and their discussions with CAM management, Legg Mason and Western Asset, the Board Members determined that those benefits could include increased ability for Legg Mason to distribute shares of its funds and other investment products and to obtain research services using the Funds’ portfolio transaction brokerage. The Board Members noted that any such benefits were difficult to quantify with certainty at this time, and indicated that they would continue to evaluate them going forward.

Fees and Economies of Scale

In reviewing the Transaction, the Board Members considered, among other things, whether advisory and administrative fees or other expenses would change as a result of the Transaction. Based on the assurances they had received from CAM management and Legg Mason, the Board Members determined that as a result of the Transaction, each Fund’s total advisory and administrative fees would not increase. The Board Members noted that in conjunction with their most recent deliberations concerning the Current Management Agreements, advisory or management fee reductions and fee breakpoints had been implemented for certain Funds, and that after taking those reductions and breakpoints into account, the Board Members had determined that the total fees for advisory and administrative services for many Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided and that CAM management had already initiated or would be taking steps to address the Board Members’ concerns regarding the fee levels of other Funds. It was noted that in conjunction with the recent review of the Current Management Agreements, the Board Members had received, among other things, a report from Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) comparing each Fund’s fees, expenses and performance to those of a peer group for that Fund selected by Lipper, and information as to the fees charged by the Adviser to other registered investment company clients for investment management services. The Board Members concluded that because the advisory and administrative fees for each Fund were not expected to increase as a result of the Transaction, each Fund’s fees for advisory and administrative services remain appropriate and that no additional fee reductions or breakpoints were necessary at this time. The Board Members recognized that Legg Mason may realize economies of scale from the Transaction based on certain consolidations and synergies of operations.

Investment Performance

The Board Members noted that investment performance for many Funds was satisfactory or better, and that CAM management had already implemented or undertaken to implement steps to address investment performance in other Funds. Following the closing of the Transaction, these steps may include combining certain CAM operations with those of certain Legg Mason subsidiaries. The Boards noted Legg Mason’s considerable investment management experience and capabilities, but were unable to predict what effect, if any, consummation of the Transaction would have on the future performance of the Funds.

Information About the Adviser

The Adviser is a registered investment adviser and is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup. The Adviser is a Delaware corporation that is wholly owned by Citigroup Financial Products Inc., which is wholly owned by Citigroup Global Market Holdings Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup. Citigroup businesses offer a broad range of financial services—asset management, banking and consumer finance, credit and charge cards, insurance, investments, investment banking and trading—and use diverse channels to make them available to consumer and corporate customers around the world. The Adviser and Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (“SBFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser, provide administrative services to the Funds. These administrative services are provided under the Fund’s Current Management Agreement or under a separate agreement with the Fund covering the provision of administrative services. The address of Citigroup, the Adviser and SBFM is 399 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022.

13

CGMI currently serves as the distributor for each of the Funds. CGMI is located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013. CGMI is an affiliate of Citigroup. After the closing of the Transaction, it is contemplated that an affiliate of Legg Mason will, subject to Board approval, become the primary distributor of all of the Funds and that CGMI will either remain as distributor of the Funds or will become a selling dealer. In either case the Citigroup affiliates that are involved in distributions of the Funds’ shares will be compensated for their services.

The tables set forth in Appendix G show amounts paid to affiliates of the Adviser during the Funds’ most recently completed fiscal year for the services noted in the Appendix. There were no other material payments by the Funds to the Adviser or any of their affiliates during that period.

The aggregate brokerage commissions paid by each Fund to Legg Mason and its affiliated brokers during the Funds’ most recently completed fiscal year are set forth in Appendix H. There were no other material payments by the Funds to Legg Mason or its affiliates during that period.

The name and principal occupation of the directors and principal executive officers of the Adviser are as set forth in Appendix I. The principal address of each individual as it relates to his or her duties at the applicable Adviser is the same as that of the Adviser.

The Adviser provides investment advisory services to certain other funds that may have investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds. The table set forth in Appendix J lists other funds advised by the Adviser, the net assets of those funds, and the management fees the Adviser received from those funds during the fiscal years ended on the dates noted.

Shareholder Approval

To become effective with respect to a particular Fund, the New Management Agreement must be approved by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. The “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of the vote of (i) 67% or more of the voting securities of the Fund entitled to vote thereon present at the Meeting or represented by proxy if holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund entitled to vote thereon. Each New Management Agreement was approved by the Independent Board Members, separately, and by the Board of the applicable Fund, as a whole, after consideration of all factors which it determined to be relevant to its deliberations, including those discussed above. The Board of each Fund also determined to submit the Fund’s New Management Agreement for consideration by the shareholders of the Fund.

The Board of each Corporation recommends that shareholders of each Fund vote FOR the approval of the New Management Agreement.

ITEM 2—TO APPROVE NEW SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS

The following discussion is applicable only to Salomon Brothers Strategic Bond Fund, a series of Series Fund; Salomon Brothers Variable Strategic Bond Fund, a series of Variable Fund; Salomon Brothers Global High Income Fund Inc.; and Salomon Brothers Variable Rate Strategic Fund Inc.

At the Meeting, you will also be asked to approve a new subadvisory agreement between your Fund’s Adviser and Subadviser (each a “New Subadvisory Agreement” and collectively, the “New Subadvisory Agreements”). The New Subadvisory Agreement will be substantially similar to the subadvisory agreements currently in effect for the Funds (each a “Current Subadvisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Current Subadvisory Agreements”), except for the dates of execution and termination and the addition of representations made by the Subadviser related to its registration under and the classification of the Funds under the United Kingdom Financial Services Act. A general description of the proposed New Subadvisory Agreement is included below. The form of the New Subadvisory Agreement is attached hereto as Appendix K.

The Subadviser provides certain subadvisory services to certain Funds relating to currency transactions and investments in non-dollar denominated debt securities for the benefit of the Funds pursuant to the Current Subadvisory Agreement. The date of each Fund’s Current Subadvisory Agreement and the date on which it was last approved by shareholders and approved for continuance by the applicable Board is provided in Appendix E.

14

The Boards are proposing the New Subadvisory Agreement for each Fund because the consummation of the Transaction discussed above will constitute a change in control of the Adviser and Subadviser and, therefore, will result in the automatic termination of each Current Subadvisory Agreement. As a result of the Transaction, the Subadviser will become an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Legg Mason.

Comparison of Current Subadvisory Agreements to the New Subadvisory Agreements

As noted above, under the requirements of the 1940 Act, each Fund is required to enter into a New Subadvisory Agreement as a result of the Transaction. The Subadviser will continue to provide the same level of advisory services to each Fund and the Adviser under the New Subadvisory Agreements as it provides under the Current Subadvisory Agreements. The following description of the terms of the New Subadvisory Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of New Subadvisory Agreement attached hereto as Appendix K.

Fees. The Adviser, and not any of the Funds, is responsible for paying the Subadviser its subadvisory fee under the New Subadvisory Agreement. The rate of the fees payable by the Adviser to the Subadviser pursuant to the New Subadvisory Agreement is the same as the rate in the Current Subadvisory Agreement. Consequently, the Subadviser will be paid by the Adviser a fee at a rate under the New Subadvisory Agreement which is identical to the fee rate for its Current Subadvisory Agreement, which fee is set forth in Appendix E.

Subadvisory Services. Pursuant to the New Subadvisory Agreement, the Subadviser, subject to the supervision of the Adviser and each Fund’s Board of Directors, will manage such investments and determine the composition of such assets of the Fund as may be agreed from time to time between the Adviser and the Subadviser. As is the case with respect to the Current Subadvisory Agreement, it is anticipated that the Subadviser primarily will provide subadvisory services with respect to currency transactions and non-dollar denominated debt securities pursuant to the New Subadvisory Agreement.

Term and Continuance. If approved by shareholders of the Funds, each New Subadvisory Agreement will terminate, unless sooner terminated as set forth therein, two years from the date of implementation. Thereafter, if not terminated, each New Subadvisory Agreement, will continue in effect for successive annual periods provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by: (i) a majority of the members of the Board of Directors who are not parties to the New Subadvisory Agreement, and who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any such party; and (ii) a majority of the Board of Directors or the holders of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Funds. The Current Subadvisory Agreement has the same provisions.

Termination. The New Subadvisory Agreements provide that they may be terminated, without penalty, on 60 days’ notice, by the Board of Directors or by the Adviser or Subadviser, or by a vote of the holders of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Funds. The New Subadvisory Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act). The Current Subadvisory Agreements have the same provisions.

Board Considerations

At the meetings held during the week of August 8, 2005 at which the Boards approved the New Management Agreements, the Board of each Fund, including the Independent Board Members, also unanimously approved the New Subadvisory Agreement between each of the Funds and the Subadviser. The exact date of each Board’s meeting is noted in Appendix F.

To assist the Boards in their consideration of the New Subadvisory Agreements, CAM provided materials and information about the Subadviser. The Independent Board Members, through their independent legal counsel, also requested and received additional information from CAM and Legg Mason in connection with their consideration of the agreements. The additional information was provided in advance of and at the August meetings. In addition, the Independent Board Members consulted with their counsel on various occasions on, and received from their counsel a memorandum outlining, among other things, the legal standards and certain other considerations relevant to the Board Members’ deliberations.

At each Board’s August meeting, representatives of CAM and Legg Mason made presentations to and responded to questions from the Board. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials provided, the Independent Board Members met in executive session with their independent counsel to consider the New Subadvisory Agreements.

15

Among other things, the Board Members considered:

(i) the current responsibilities of the Subadviser and the services currently provided by it;

(ii) Legg Mason’s combination plans as described in Item 1 above;

(iii) CAM management and Legg Mason have advised the Boards that following the Transaction, there is not expected to be any diminution in the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Funds and their shareholders by the Subadviser, including compliance services;

(iv) the fact that the fees paid to the Subadviser (which are paid by the Adviser and not the Fund) will not increase by virtue of the New Subadvisory Agreements, but will remain the same;

(v) the terms and conditions of the New Subadvisory Agreements, including the differences from the Current Subadvisory Agreements (see “Comparison of Current Subadvisory Agreements to the New Subadvisory Agreements” above);

(vi) that in July 2005 each Board had performed a full annual review of the Current Subadvisory Agreements as required by the 1940 Act and had determined that the Subadviser has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide the advisory services currently provided to each relevant Fund; and that the advisory fees paid by the Adviser to the Subadviser represent reasonable compensation to the Subadviser in light of the services provided, the costs to the Subadviser of providing those services, the fees paid by similar funds, and such other matters as the Board Members considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment (the date of each Board’s most recent full annual review of the Current Subadvisory Agreements is noted in Appendix C);

(vii) that the Funds would not bear the costs of obtaining shareholder approval of the New Subadvisory Agreements; and

(viii) the factors enumerated and/or discussed in Item 1 above, to the extent relevant.

Certain of these considerations are discussed in more detail below.

In their deliberations, the Board Members considered information received in connection with their recent continuation of each Current Subadvisory Agreement in addition to information provided by Legg Mason and CAM in connection with their evaluation of the terms and conditions of the New Subadvisory Agreement. They did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Board Member attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board Members evaluated all information available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Board Members, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, concluded that the terms of the New Subadvisory Agreements are fair and reasonable, that the fees stated therein are reasonable in light of the services to be provided to each Fund, and that the New Subadvisory Agreements should be approved and recommended to Fund shareholders.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services Provided

In evaluating the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Subadviser under the New Subadvisory Agreements, the Board Members considered, among other things, information and assurances provided by CAM and Legg Mason as to the expected impact, if any, of the Transaction on the operations, facilities, organization and personnel of the Subadviser; the ability of the Subadviser to perform its duties after the Transaction; and any anticipated changes to the current investment and other practices of the Funds.

The Board Members considered Legg Mason’s advice that it intends to combine the fixed income investment operations of CAM with those of Western Asset and may also wish to combine other CAM operations with those of other Legg Mason subsidiaries. The Board Members noted that Western Asset is an experienced and respected institutional asset manager that focuses on managing fixed income assets on behalf of institutional separate accounts, retirement plans and other institutional investors, including mutual funds. The Board Members further noted that, as of June 30, 2005, Western Asset managed approximately $230 billion in assets on behalf of its clients. The Board Members considered Legg Mason’s advice that, after the closing of the sale, Legg Mason will take steps to combine the investment management operations of Western Asset with the fixed income operations of the Adviser and, in relevant cases, the Subadviser to the Funds, which, among other things, may involve Western Asset, the Adviser and, in relevant cases, the Subadviser to the Funds sharing common systems and procedures, employees (including portfolio managers), investment and trading platforms, and other resources. The Board

16

Members also considered Legg Mason’s advice that it is expected that these combination processes will result in changes to portfolio managers or portfolio management teams for a number of the Funds, subject to Board consent and appropriate notice to shareholders and that, in other cases, the current portfolio managers or portfolio management teams will remain in place. The Board Members also considered Legg Mason’s advice that, in the future, Legg Mason may recommend that Western Asset or other Legg Mason subsidiaries be appointed as the adviser or subadviser to some or all of the Funds, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.

Based on their review of the materials provided and the assurances they had received from CAM management and Legg Mason, the Board Members determined that the Transaction was not expected to adversely affect the nature and quality of services provided by the Subadviser and that the Transaction was not expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Subadviser to provide those services. It is expected that there will be changes in personnel following the closing of the Transaction. The Board Members noted that if current portfolio managers and other personnel cease to be available, each Board would consider all available options, which could include seeking the investment advisory and other services of Legg Mason affiliates or other investment advisers not affiliated with Legg Mason. In this regard, it was noted that Legg Mason has indicated that it could potentially make available to the Subadviser additional portfolio management resources in the event of loss of CAM personnel for particular investment disciplines. Accordingly, the Board Members concluded that, overall, they were satisfied at the present time with the assurances from Legg Mason and CAM as to the expected nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Funds under the New Subadvisory Agreements.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability

In evaluating the costs of the services to be provided by the Subadviser under the New Subadvisory Agreements and the profitability to the Subadviser of its relationships with the Funds, the Board Members noted that the Fund does not pay the subadvisory fee and considered, among other things, whether the subadvisory fees would change as a result of the Transaction. Based on their review of the materials provided and the assurances they had received from CAM management and Legg Mason, the Board Members determined that the Transaction would not increase the fees payable by the Adviser for subadvisory services. The Board Members noted that it was not possible to predict how the Transaction would affect the Subadviser’s profitability from its relationship with the Funds, but that they had been satisfied in their recent review of the Current Subadvisory Agreements that the Subadviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Funds and the Adviser was not excessive. Accordingly, the Board Members concluded that, overall, they were satisfied that currently the Subadviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with each Fund was not excessive.

The Board Members recognized that Legg Mason may realize economies of scale from the Transaction based on certain consolidations and synergies of operations. The Board Members noted that they expect to receive Subadviser profitability information on an annual basis and thus be in a position to evaluate whether any adjustments in subadvisory fees would be appropriate.

Fall-Out Benefits

In evaluating the fall-out benefits to be received by the Subadviser under the New Subadvisory Agreements, the Board Members considered whether the Transaction would have an impact on the fall-out benefits received by virtue of the Current Subadvisory Agreements. Based on their review of the materials provided, including materials received in connection with their recent approval of continuance of each Current Subadvisory Agreement, and their discussions with CAM management and Legg Mason, the Board Members determined that the Transaction could increase the benefits to be received in connection with the New Subadvisory Agreements. The Board Members noted that any such benefits were difficult to quantify with certainty at this time, and indicated that they would evaluate them going forward.

Fees

In reviewing the New Subadvisory Agreements and in considering Transaction, the Board Members considered, among other things, whether subadvisory fees would change as a result of the Transaction. Based on the assurances they had received from CAM management and Legg Mason, the Board Members determined that the Transaction would not increase the subadvisory fees paid with respect to any Fund. The Board Members had determined at their most recent annual review of the Current Subadvisory Agreements that the Subadviser’s fees were reasonable in light of the services provided. It was noted that in conjunction with the recent review of the Current Subadvisory Agreements, the Board Members had received, among other things, a report from Lipper comparing each Fund’s fees, expenses and performance to those of a peer group for

17

that Fund selected by Lipper, and information as to the fees charged by the Subadviser to other clients for investment management services. The Board Members concluded that because subadvisory fees were not expected to increase as a result of the Transaction, each Fund’s aggregate fees for advisory and subadvisory services remain appropriate and that no additional fee reductions were necessary at this time.

Investment Performance

The Board Members noted that investment performance for many Funds was satisfactory or better, and that CAM management had already implemented or undertaken to implement steps to address investment performance in other Funds. Following the closing of the Transaction, these steps may include combining certain CAM operations with those of certain Legg Mason subsidiaries. The Boards noted Legg Mason’s considerable investment management experience and capabilities, but were unable to predict what effect, if any, consummation of the Transaction would have on the future performance of the Funds.

Information About the Subadviser

The Subadviser is a registered investment adviser and is organized as a corporation under the laws of England and Wales. The Subadviser is wholly owned by Citigroup Global Markets International LLC, which is wholly owned by Citigroup Financial Products Inc., which is wholly owned by Citigroup Global Market Holdings Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup. The address of the Subadviser is Citigroup Centre, Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London, England E14 5LB.

The tables set forth in Appendix G show amounts paid to affiliates of the Subadviser during each Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year for the services noted. There were no other material payments by the Funds to the Subadviser or any of its affiliates during that period.

The name, address and principal occupation of the directors and principal executive officers of the Subadviser are set forth in Appendix I. The Subadviser provides investment advisory services to other funds which may have investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds. The table set forth in Appendix J lists other funds advised by the Subadviser, the net assets of those funds, and the management fee the Subadviser received from those funds during the fiscal years ended on the dates noted.

Shareholder Approval

To become effective with respect to a particular Fund, each New Subadvisory Agreement must be approved by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. The “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of the vote of (i) 67% or more of the voting securities of the Fund entitled to vote thereon present at the Meeting or represented by proxy if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund entitled to vote thereon. Each New Subadvisory Agreement was approved by the Independent Board Members, separately, and by the Board of the applicable Fund, as a whole, after consideration of all factors which it determined to be relevant to its deliberations, including those discussed above. The Board of each Fund also determined to submit the Fund’s New Subadvisory Agreement for consideration by the shareholders of the Fund.

The Board of each Fund with a Current Subadvisory Agreement recommends that shareholders of the Fund vote FOR the approval of the New Subadvisory Agreement.

ITEM 3—TO ELECT BOARD MEMBERS

The purpose of this proposal is to elect Board Members of each open-end Corporation.

If you are a shareholder of a Closed-end Fund, you are not being asked to elect Board Members at this time.

Each Board oversees more than one Corporation and supervises more than one Fund. The shareholders of each Fund will vote on the election of Board Members of the Board that supervises their Fund. It is intended that the enclosed white proxy card will be voted FOR all nominees (each a “Nominee” and, collectively, the “Nominees”) for the Board that supervises the applicable Fund, as shown below, unless the proxy card contains specific instructions to the contrary.

Board Meetings

During its most recent fiscal year, each of the Series Fund Board, the Variable Fund Board and the Institutional Fund Board met four times. Each Board Member of Series Fund, Variable Fund and Institutional Fund attended more than 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and committees on which the Board Member served.

Compensation

Information regarding compensation paid to the Board Members with respect to Series Fund and Variable Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and with respect to Institutional Fund for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2005 is set forth below. The Independent Board Members receive a fee for each meeting of the Boards and committee meetings attended and are reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at such meetings. Mr. Gerken, an “interested person,” as defined in the 1940 Act, does not receive compensation from the Funds but may be reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at such meetings.

Each Fund in Variable Fund currently pays each Board Member who is not an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Adviser or any of its affiliates its pro rata share based on asset size of: an annual fee of $7,000 plus $750 for attendance at each in-person Board meeting and $500 for each telephonic Board meeting in which that Board Member participates. Each Fund in Institutional Fund currently pays each of the Board Members who is not an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Adviser or any of its affiliates its pro rata share based on asset size of: an annual fee of $2,000 plus $750 for attendance at each in-person Board meeting and $500 for each telephonic Board meeting in which that Board Member participates.

Indemnification of Board Members and Officers

The governing documents of each Corporation provide that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation will indemnify its Board Members and officers against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices with the Corporation, unless, as to liability to the Corporation or its investors, it is finally adjudicated that they engaged in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in their offices. Indemnification is not permitted in the case of actions or omissions committed in bad faith or as a result of active and deliberate dishonesty, or with respect to which an improper personal benefit was received or, in the case of a criminal proceeding, committed with reasonable cause to believe that the action or omission was unlawful.

Standing Committees of the Boards

The business affairs of each Corporation are managed by or under the direction of the Boards.

Each Board has a standing Audit Committee comprised of all of the Board Members who are not “interested persons” of the Corporations, within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and who are “independent” as defined in the NYSE listing standards. The primary purposes of each Board’s Audit Committee are to assist each Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the integrity of the accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices of the Corporation, the qualifications and independence of the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm, and the Corporation’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee reviews the scope of the Corporation’s audits, the Corporation’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and its internal controls. The Audit Committee approves and recommends to the Independent Board Members of the Corporation for their ratification, the selection, appointment, retention or termination of the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm and approves the compensation of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided to the Corporation by its independent registered public accounting firm and all permissible non-audit services provided by the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm to the Adviser and any affiliated service providers if the engagement relates directly to the Corporation’s operations and financial reporting. The Audit Committee of each of Series Fund, Variable Fund and Institutional Fund met five times during the most recently completed fiscal year. The Audit Committees of each of Capital Fund and Investors Fund met two times during the most recently completed fiscal year.

Each Board has a standing Nominating Committee. All Board Members who are not “interested persons” of the Corporations, within the meaning of the 1940 Act, are members of the Nominating Committees. Each Nominating Committee is responsible for, among other things, recommending candidates to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors. Each Nominating Committee will accept nominees recommended by a shareholder as it deems appropriate. Shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send recommendations to their Corporation’s Secretary that include all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of Board Members. A recommendation must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board and to serve if elected by the shareholders. The Nominating Committee of Series Fund did not meet during the most recent fiscal year. The Nominating Committee of each of Variable Fund and Institutional Fund did not meet during the most recent fiscal year. The Nominating Committee of Capital Fund and Investors Fund did not meet during the most recent fiscal year. A copy of the Nominating Committee charter for each of the Corporations is included in Appendix L.

Each Nominating Committee identifies potential nominees through its network of contacts, and may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. Each Nominating Committee meets to discuss and consider such candidates’ qualifications and then chooses a candidate by majority vote. None of the Nominating Committees has specific, minimum qualifications for nominees and none has established specific qualities or skills that it regards as necessary for one or more of the Board Members to possess (other than any qualities or skills that may be required by applicable law, regulation or listing standard). However, in evaluating a person as a potential nominee to serve as a Board Member, each Nominating Committee may consider the following factors, among any others it may deem relevant:

• whether or not the person is an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act and whether the person is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Board Member;

• whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence, such as any business, financial or family relationships with management, the investment adviser, service providers or their affiliates;

• whether or not the person serves on boards of, or is otherwise affiliated with, competing financial service organizations or their related mutual fund complexes;

• whether or not the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Board Member;

• the contribution which the person can make to the Board (or, if the person has previously served as a Board Member, the contribution which the person made to the Board during his or her previous term of service), with consideration being given to the person’s business and professional experience, education and such other factors as the Nominating Committee may consider relevant;

31

• the character and integrity of the person; and

• whether or not the selection and nomination of the person would be consistent with the requirements of the retirement policies of the Corporations, as applicable.

Attendance of Board Members at Annual Meeting

The Corporations of which the Funds are a part do not have a formal policy with regard to attendance of Board Members at annual meetings. None of the Boards held annual meetings last year.

Communications with the Boards and Board Members

Shareholders of each Fund can send communications to its Board and to individual Board Members in accordance with the following process: each Corporation’s Audit Committee has established guidelines and procedures regarding the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters (collectively, “Accounting Matters”). Persons with complaints or concerns regarding Accounting Matters may submit their complaints to the Corporation’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). Persons who are uncomfortable submitting complaints to the CCO, including complaints involving the CCO, may submit complaints directly to the Corporation’s Audit Committee Chair (together with the CCO, “Complaint Officers”). Complaints may be submitted on an anonymous basis.

The CCO may be contacted at:

Citigroup Asset Management

Compliance Department

399 Park Avenue, 4^th Floor

New York, NY 10022

Complaints may also be submitted by telephone at 1-800-742-5274. Complaints submitted through this number will be received by the CCO.

Each Corporation’s Audit Committee Chair may be contacted at:

[Fund Name]

Audit Committee Chair

c/o Robert K. Fulton, Esq.

Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP

2600 One Commerce Square

Philadelphia, PA 19103

Any shareholder who wishes to send any other communications to the Boards should also deliver such communications to the Secretary of the applicable Corporation at the address listed above. The Secretary is responsible for determining, in consultation with other officers of the Corporations, counsel and other advisers as appropriate, which shareholder communications will be relayed to the Boards.

Legal Proceedings Relating to Citigroup Affiliates and Certain of the Nominees

Beginning in June 2004, class action lawsuits alleging violations of the federal securities laws were filed against CGMI and a number of its affiliates, including SBFM and SBAM (the “Managers”), substantially all of the mutual funds managed by the Managers (the “Defendant Funds”), and Directors or Trustees of the Defendant Funds (collectively, the “Defendants”). The complaints alleged, among other things, that CGMI created various undisclosed incentives for its brokers to sell Smith Barney and Salomon Brothers funds. In addition, according to the complaints, the Managers caused the Defendant Funds to pay excessive brokerage commissions to CGMI for steering clients towards proprietary funds. The complaints also alleged that the defendants breached their fiduciary duty to the Defendant Funds by improperly charging Rule 12b-1 fees and by drawing on fund assets to make undisclosed payments of soft dollars and excessive brokerage commissions. The complaints also alleged that the Defendant Funds failed to adequately disclose certain of the allegedly wrongful conduct. The complaints sought injunctive relief and compensatory and punitive damages, rescission of the

32

Defendant Funds’ contracts with the Managers, recovery of all fees paid to the Managers pursuant to such contracts and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.

On December 15, 2004, a consolidated amended complaint (the “Complaint”) was filed alleging substantially similar causes of action. While the lawsuit is in its earliest stages, to the extent that the Complaint purports to state causes of action against the Defendant Funds, CAM believes the Defendant Funds have significant defenses to such allegations, which the Defendant Funds intend to vigorously assert in responding to the Complaint.

Additional lawsuits arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Defendant Funds in the future.

By Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent dated March 18, 2005, CGMI accepted and consented, without admitting or denying the allegations or findings, to the entry of findings by the NASD arising from CGMI’s sales of Class B and Class C shares of mutual funds in approximately 18,000 customer households and approximately 90,000 transactions between January 1, 2002 and June 30, 2003. CGMI, through its registered representatives, known as financial consultants (“FCs”), either did not adequately disclose at the point of sale, or did not adequately consider in connection with its recommendations to customers to purchase Class B and Class C shares, the differences in share classes and that an equal investment in Class A shares would generally have been more advantageous for the customers.

In particular, the FCs did not consider that large investments in Class A shares of mutual funds entitle customers to breakpoint discounts on sales charges, generally beginning at the $50,000 investment level, which are not available for investments in Class B shares. In fact, customers may be entitled to breakpoints based upon a single mutual fund purchase, multiple purchases in the same “family of funds,” and/or mutual fund investments held, at the time of the new purchase, by members of the customer’s “household,” as that term is defined in the prospectus of the fund in which the shares are being purchased. Class B shares are also subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSCs”) for a period of time, generally six years, as well as higher ongoing Rule 12b-1 fees for as long as the Class B shares are held. The CDSCs and/or the higher ongoing Rule 12b-1 fees significantly impact the return on customers’ mutual fund investments.

In addition, CGMI’s supervisory and compliance policies and procedures were not reasonably designed to ensure that FCs consistently provided adequate disclosure of, or consideration to, the benefits of the various share classes as they applied to individual customers. As a result of the foregoing, CGMI violated NASD Conduct Rules 2110, 2310, and 3010.

On May 31, 2005, the SEC issued an order in connection with the settlement of an administrative proceeding against SBFM and CGMI relating to the appointment of an affiliated transfer agent for the Smith Barney family of mutual funds (the “Smith Barney Funds”).

The SEC order finds that SBFM and CGMI willfully violated Section 206(1) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”). Specifically, the order finds that SBFM and CGMI knowingly or recklessly failed to disclose to the Boards of the Smith Barney Funds in 1999 when proposing a new transfer agent arrangement with an affiliated transfer agent: that First Data Investors Services Group (“First Data”), the Smith Barney Funds’ then-existing transfer agent, had offered to continue as transfer agent and do the same work for substantially less money than before; and that CAM, the Citigroup business unit that includes the Smith Barney Fund’s investment manager and other investment advisory companies, had entered into a side letter with First Data under which CAM agreed to recommend the appointment of First Data as sub-transfer agent to the affiliated transfer agent in exchange, among other things, for a guarantee by First Data of specified amounts of asset management and investment banking fees to CAM and CGMI. The order also finds that SBFM and CGMI willfully violated Section 206(2) of the Advisers Act by virtue of the omissions discussed above and other misrepresentations and omissions in the materials provided to the Smith Barney Funds’ Boards, including the failure to make clear that the affiliated transfer agent would earn a high profit for performing limited functions while First Data continued to perform almost all of the transfer agent functions, and the suggestion that the proposed arrangement was in the Smith Barney Funds’ best interests and that no viable alternatives existed. SBFM and CGMI do not admit or deny any wrongdoing or liability. The settlement does not establish wrongdoing or liability for purposes of any other proceeding.

The SEC censured SBFM and CGMI and ordered them to cease and desist from violations of Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Advisers Act. The order requires Citigroup to pay $208.1 million, including $109 million in disgorgement of profits, $19.1 million in interest, and a civil money penalty of $80 million. Approximately $24.4 million has already been paid to the Smith Barney Funds, primarily through fee waivers. The remaining $183.7 million, including the penalty, has

33

been paid to the U.S. Treasury and will be distributed pursuant to a plan to be prepared by Citigroup and submitted within 90 days of the entry of the order for approval by the SEC. The order also requires that transfer agency fees received from the Smith Barney Funds since December 1, 2004 less certain expenses be placed in escrow and provides that a portion of such fees may be subsequently distributed in accordance with the terms of the order.

The order requires SBFM to recommend a new transfer agent contract to the Smith Barney Fund Boards within 180 days of the entry of the order; if a Citigroup affiliate submits a proposal to serve as transfer agent or sub-transfer agent, an independent monitor must be engaged at the expense of SBFM and CGMI to oversee a competitive bidding process. Under the order, Citigroup also must comply with an amended version of a vendor policy that Citigroup instituted in August 2004. That policy, as amended, among other things, requires that when requested by a Smith Barney Fund Board, CAM will retain at its own expense an independent consulting expert to advise and assist the Board on the selection of certain service providers affiliated with Citigroup.

At this time, there is no certainty as to how the proceeds of the settlement will be distributed, to whom such distributions will be made, the methodology by which such distributions will be allocated, and when such distributions will be made.

The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this Joint Proxy Statement. Additional lawsuits presenting allegations and requests for relief arising out of or in connection with any of the foregoing matters may be filed against these and related parties in the future.

The Fund did not implement the transfer agent arrangement described above and therefore will not receive any portion of the distributions.

Shareholder Approval

Proposal 3, the election of the Director Nominees, whose term of office will commence as of the date of their election, must be approved with respect to each Corporation by a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting at which a quorum exists. The votes of each Fund in the same Corporation will be counted together as a single class with respect to the election of the Nominees to the Board.

The Board of each Corporation recommends that the shareholders of the Funds vote FOR the election of each of the Director Nominees to the Board.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board Members, including a majority of the Independent Board Members have selected KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds’ current fiscal years. KPMG, in accordance with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (ISB No. 1), has confirmed to each audit committee that it is an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Funds.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) served as the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm for the two most recent fiscal years. PwC resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds effective as of June 17, 2005 for Capital Fund, Investors Fund, Series Fund, Variable Fund and Institutional Fund. A majority of the Funds’ Board Members, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, approved the appointment of KPMG, subject to the right of the Fund, by a majority vote of the shareholders at any meeting called for that purpose, to terminate the appointment without penalty.

The reports of PwC on each Fund’s financial statements for each of the last two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. There have been no disagreements with PwC during each Fund’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years.

No representatives of KPMG or PwC will be present at the Meeting.

34

Appendix M sets forth for each open-end Fund, for each of the applicable Fund’s two most recent fiscal years, the fees billed by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for all audit and non-audit services provided directly to the Fund. The fee information in Appendix M is presented under the following captions:

(i) Audit Fees—fees related to the audit and review of the financial statements included in annual reports and registration statements, and other services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

(ii) Audit-Related Fees—fees related to assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements, but not reported under “Audit Fees,” including accounting consultations, agreed-upon procedure reports, attestation reports, comfort letters and internal control reviews not required by regulators.

(iii) Tax Fees—fees associated with tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, including services relating to the filing or amendment of federal, state or local income tax returns, regulated investment company qualification reviews and tax distribution and analysis reviews.

(iv) All Other Fees—fees for products and services provided to the Fund by PwC other than those reported under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees.”

The charter of each Audit Committee requires that the Audit Committee shall approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided to each Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditors to the investment adviser and any service providers controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provide ongoing services to the Fund (“Covered Service Providers”) if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. The Audit Committee may implement policies and procedures by which such services are approved other than by the full Committee.

No Audit Committee may approve non-audit services that the Committee believes may impair the independence of the auditors. Permissible non-audit services include any professional services (including tax services) that are not prohibited services as described below, provided to the Fund by the independent auditors, other than those provided to a Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Fund. Permissible non-audit services may not include (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund; (ii) financial information systems design and implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services; (v) internal audit outsourcing services; (vi) management functions or human resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; (viii) legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and (ix) any other service the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.

Pre-approval by the Audit Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to a Fund, the Adviser and any Covered Service Provider constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided to (a) the Fund, (b) the Adviser and (c) any Covered Service Provider during the fiscal year in which services are provided that would not have to be approved by the Committee; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved by the Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to completion of the audit.

For each Fund’s two most recent fiscal years, there were no services rendered by PwC to the Fund for which the pre-approval requirement was waived.

Non-audit fees billed for services rendered to the Funds and the Adviser or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Funds were $3.5 million and $6.4 million, respectively, in 2003 and 2004. For the period May 6, 2003, through December 31, 2004, PwC billed the Adviser or any Covered Service Provider $1.39 million, for non-audit services.

Each Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered by PwC to the Adviser and Covered Service Providers that were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with

35

maintaining PwC’s independence. All services provided by PwC to each Fund, the Adviser or Covered Service Providers that were required to be pre-approved were pre-approved as required.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

5% Share Ownership

As of August 22, 2005, the persons listed in Appendix N owned of record the amounts indicated of the shares of the class of the Funds indicated in Appendix N.

Security Ownership of Management

As of April 1, 2005, the Board Members and officers of each Fund owned, in the aggregate, less than 1% of each Fund’s outstanding shares.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Interest Reporting Compliance

Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act and Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act require Board Members and officers, the investment adviser, affiliated persons of the investment adviser and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of a registered closed-end investment company’s equity securities to file forms reporting their affiliation with that closed-end investment company and reports of ownership and changes in ownership of that closed-end investment company’s shares with the SEC and the NYSE or American Stock Exchange, as applicable. These persons and entities are required by SEC regulations to furnish the closed-end investment company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Each of the Funds which is a Closed-end Fund is listed in Appendix K.

Based on a review of these forms furnished to each Closed-end Fund, each Closed-end Fund believes that its Board Members and officers, the Adviser and affiliated persons of the Adviser have complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during its last fiscal year. To the knowledge of management of the Closed-end Funds, no shareholder of a Closed-end Fund owns more than 10% of a registered class of a Closed-end Fund’s equity securities, except as set forth in Appendix N.

Submission of Shareholder Proposals

A shareholder proposal intended to be presented at a Closed-end Fund’s next annual meeting of shareholders must be (or must have been) received at the offices of that Closed-end Fund, 125 Broad Street, 10^th Floor, New York, New York 10004, not later than the date specified in Appendix B to be included in the proxy statement and the form of proxy relating to that meeting. The submission by a shareholder of a proposal for inclusion in the proxy statement does not guarantee that it will be included in a proxy statement. Shareholder proposals are subject to certain regulations under the federal securities laws.

The persons named as proxies for a Closed-end Fund’s next annual meeting of the shareholders will have discretionary authority to vote on any matter presented by a shareholder for action at that meeting unless that Closed-end Fund receives (or received) notice of the matter by the date specified in Appendix B, in which case these persons will not have discretionary voting authority except as provided in the SEC’s rules governing shareholder proposals.

The open-end funds do not hold annual meetings of shareholders. A shareholder proposal intended to be presented at a future special meeting of shareholders of an open-end fund must be (or must have been) received at the offices of the Corporation, 125 Broad Street, 10^th Floor, New York, New York 10004, a reasonable time before the Fund begins to print and mail its proxy materials. Timely submission of a proposal does not guarantee that the proposal will be included in a proxy statement.

Expense of Proxy Solicitation

The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy, accompanying notice and the Joint Proxy Statement and all other costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies will not be borne by the Funds and will be split equally between Citigroup and Legg Mason. These costs will be borne by Citigroup and Legg Mason whether or not the proposals are

36

successful. Solicitation may be made by letter or telephone by officers or employees of the Adviser, or by dealers and their representatives. Brokerage houses, banks and other fiduciaries may be requested to forward proxy solicitation material to their principals to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies. Citigroup and Legg Mason will reimburse brokerage firms, custodians, banks and fiduciaries for their expenses in forwarding the Joint Proxy Statement and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of each Fund’s shares. In addition, CAM, on behalf of each Fund, has retained Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc., 17 State Street, New York, New York 10004, a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the solicitation of proxies. It is anticipated that Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc. will be paid approximately $1,119,000 for such solicitation services (plus reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses), to be shared equally between Citigroup and Legg Mason. Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc. may solicit proxies personally and by telephone.

Fiscal Year

The fiscal year end of each Fund is as set forth in Appendix G.

General

Management does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that any other items of business will be presented at the Meetings. However, if other matters are properly presented at the Meetings for a vote, the proxies will be voted by the persons acting under the proxies upon such matters in accordance with their judgment of the best interests of the Fund.

A list of shareholders entitled to be present and to vote at each Meeting will be available at the offices of the Funds, 125 Broad Street, New York, New York, for inspection by any shareholder during regular business hours beginning ten days prior to the date of the Meetings.

Failure of a quorum to be present at any Meeting will necessitate adjournment. The chairman of the Meeting or persons named in the enclosed proxy may also move for an adjournment of any Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to any of the proposals if they determine that adjournment and further solicitation is reasonable and in the best interests of the Corporation. Under the By-Laws of Capital Fund and Investors Fund, an adjournment of a meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. Under the By-Laws of the other Funds, a meeting may be adjourned from time to time without further notice by the chairman of the meeting. In each case, the meeting may be adjourned to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date.

Please vote promptly by completing, signing and dating the enclosed white proxy card and returning it in the accompanying postage-paid return envelope OR by following the enclosed instructions to vote by telephone or over the Internet.

Appendix C

Comparison of Terms of Management Agreements

This Appendix C contains six charts comparing the principal terms of the Current Management Agreements with the corresponding terms of the proposed New Management Agreements for each of the Funds. Funds are grouped on a chart based on similarities in their Current Management Agreement and you should look for the chart or charts containing a comparison of the Agreements for your Fund or Funds, as the case may be.

You should note that the charts contain only a description of the principal provisions of the Current Management Agreements and may not include all of the terms of those Agreements, or the exact wording of those provisions described. The amount of compensation and dates of effectiveness and term of the Current Management Agreements have been omitted. You can find the dates of the Current Management Agreements and the compensation payable under the Agreements in Appendix E.

For the purposes of the description of the provisions of the Current Management Agreements, you should note than many of the terms used in your Current Management Agreement may have been changed for the sake of consistency. For example, references to a “Series” or “Portfolio” have been disregarded in favor of the consistent use of the term “Fund,” references to “Manager” or “Investment Adviser” have been disregarded in favor of the consistent use of the term “Adviser,” references to “Directors” have been disregarded in favor of the consistent use of the term “Board,” and references to “Articles of Incorporation” and “Charter” have been disregarded in favor of “governing documents.” In addition, grammatical differences, such as the use of singular versus plural, have been disregarded.

Note that capitalized terms used but not defined in the descriptions of the New Management Agreement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Form of New Management Agreement appearing in Appendix D.

The complete text of the form of New Management Agreement is included in Appendix D and you should refer to that Appendix for the complete terms of the Agreement.

Salomon Brothers Capital Fund Inc

Current Management Agreement

New Management Agreement

Investment Management Services. The Fund employs Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc (the “Adviser”) to manage the investing and reinvesting of its assets in securities of the type, in the manner and in accordance with the investment objective and restrictions specified in the Fund’s governing documents and Registration Statement, and to provide to the Fund the management and other services specified elsewhere in the Current Management Agreement. As manager of the Fund’s assets, the Adviser will make purchases and sales of securities for the Fund’s account in accordance with the Adviser’s best judgment and within the investment objective and restrictions set forth in the Fund’s governing documents, Registration Statement, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), relating to regulated investment companies and policy decisions adopted by the Fund’s Board from time to time. The Adviser will advise the Fund’s officers and Board, at times that the Fund’s Board may specify, of purchases and sales made for the Fund’s account and will, when requested by the Fund’s officers or Board, supply the reasons for making those purchases and sales.

FORM OF NEW

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

This MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made this      day of                     , 2005, by and between [NAME OF CORPORATION], a Maryland corporation (the “Corporation”) and Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Manager”).

WHEREAS, the Corporation is registered as a management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

WHEREAS, the Manager is engaged primarily in rendering investment advisory, management and administrative services and is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended;

WHEREAS, the Corporation wishes to retain the Manager to provide investment advisory, management, and administrative services to the Corporation [with respect to the series of the Corporation designated in Schedule A annexed hereto] (the “Fund”); and

WHEREAS, the Manager is willing to furnish such services on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

1. The Corporation hereby appoints the Manager to act as investment adviser and administrator of the Fund for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Manager accepts such appointment and agrees to render the services herein set forth, for the compensation herein provided.

2. The Fund shall at all times keep the Manager fully informed with regard to the securities owned by it, its funds available, or to become available, for investment, and generally as to the condition of its affairs. It shall furnish the Manager with such other documents and information with regard to its affairs as the Manager may from time to time reasonably request.

3. (a) Subject to the supervision of the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), the Manager shall regularly provide the Fund with investment research, advice, management and supervision and shall furnish a continuous investment program for the Fund’s portfolio of securities and other investments consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions, as stated in the Fund’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The Manager shall determine from time to time what securities and other investments will be purchased, retained, sold or exchanged by the Fund and what portion of the assets of the Fund’s portfolio will be held in the various securities and other investments in which the Fund invests, and shall implement those decisions, all subject to the provisions of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws (collectively, the “Governing Documents”), the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and interpretive guidance issued thereunder by the SEC staff (the “1940 Act”) and any other applicable federal and state law, as well as the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund referred to above, and any other specific policies adopted by the Board and disclosed to the Manager. The Manager is authorized as the agent of the Corporation to give instructions to the custodian of the Fund as to deliveries of securities and other investments and payments of cash for the account of the Fund. Subject to applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and direction from the Board, the investment program to be provided hereunder may entail the investment of all or substantially all of the assets of a Fund in one or more investment companies. The Manager will place orders pursuant to its investment determinations for the Fund either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer, foreign currency dealer, futures commission merchant or others selected by it. In connection with the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, subject to applicable law, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Funds and/or the other accounts over which the Manager or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. The Manager is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for a Fund which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Manager determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker

D-1

or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Manager and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Board may adopt policies and procedures that modify and restrict the Manager’s authority regarding the execution of the Fund’s portfolio transactions provided herein. The Manager shall also provide advice and recommendations with respect to other aspects of the business and affairs of the Fund, shall exercise voting rights, rights to consent to corporate action and any other rights pertaining to a Fund’s portfolio securities subject to such direction as the Board may provide, and shall perform such other functions of investment management and supervision as may be directed by the Board.

(b) Subject to the direction and control of the Board, the Manager shall perform such administrative and management services as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Fund as necessary for the operation of the Fund, such as (i) supervising the overall administration of each Fund, including negotiation of contracts and fees with and the monitoring of performance and billings of the Fund’s transfer agent, shareholder servicing agents, custodian and other independent contractors or agents, (ii) providing certain compliance, fund accounting, regulatory reporting, and tax reporting services, (iii) preparing or participating in the preparation of Board materials, registration statements, proxy statements and reports and other communications to shareholders, (iv) maintaining the Fund’s existence, and (v) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining the registration and qualification of the Fund’s shares under federal and state laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager shall not be deemed to have assumed any duties with respect to, and shall not be responsible for, the distribution of the shares of any Fund, nor shall the Manager be deemed to have assumed or have any responsibility with respect to functions specifically assumed by any transfer agent, fund accounting agent, custodian, shareholder servicing agent or other agent, in each case employed by the Fund to perform such functions.

(c) The Fund hereby authorizes any entity or person associated with the Manager which is a member of a national securities exchange to effect any transaction on the exchange for the account of the Fund which is permitted by Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 11a2-2(T) thereunder, and the Fund hereby consents to the retention of compensation for such transactions in accordance with Rule 11a2-2(T)(a)(2)(iv). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager agrees that it will not deal with itself, or with members of the Board or any principal underwriter of the Fund, as principals or agents in making purchases or sales of securities or other property for the account of a Fund, nor will it purchase any securities from an underwriting or selling group in which the Manager or its affiliates is participating, or arrange for purchases and sales of securities between a Fund and another account advised by the Manager or its affiliates, except in each case as permitted by the 1940 Act and in accordance with such policies and procedures as may be adopted by a Fund from time to time, and will comply with all other provisions of the Governing Documents and the Fund’s then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information relative to the Manager and its directors and officers.

(4) Subject to the Board’s approval, the Manager or the Fund may enter into contracts with one or more investment sub-advisers or sub-administrators, including without limitation, affiliates of the Manager, in which the Manager delegates to such investment sub-advisers or sub-administrators any or all its duties specified hereunder, on such terms as the Manager will determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, provided that in each case the Manager shall supervise the activities of each such sub-adviser or sub-administrator and further provided that such contracts impose on any investment sub-adviser or sub-administrator bound thereby all the conditions to which the Manager is subject hereunder and that such contracts are entered into in accordance with and meet all applicable requirements of the 1940 Act.

5. (a) The Manager, at its expense, shall supply the Board and officers of the Corporation with all information and reports reasonably required by them and reasonably available to the Manager and shall furnish the Fund with office facilities, including space, furniture and equipment and officers and employees satisfactory to the Board. The Manager shall oversee the maintenance of all books and records with respect to the Fund’s securities transactions and the keeping of the Fund’s books of account in accordance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Manager hereby agrees that any records that it maintains for the Fund are the property of the Fund, and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Fund any of such records upon the Fund’s request. The Manager further agrees to arrange for the preservation of the records required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act. The Manager shall authorize and permit any of its directors, officers and employees, who may be elected as Board members or officers of the Fund, to serve in the capacities in which they are elected.

(b) The Manager shall bear all expenses, and shall furnish all necessary services, facilities and personnel, in connection with its responsibilities under Section 3 above. Other than as herein specifically indicated, the Manager shall not be responsible for the Fund’s expenses, including, without limitation, advisory fees; distribution fees; interest; taxes;

D-2

governmental fees; voluntary assessments and other expenses incurred in connection with membership in investment company organizations; organization costs of the Fund; the cost (including brokerage commissions, transaction fees or charges, if any) in connection with the purchase or sale of the Fund’s securities and other investments and any losses in connection therewith; fees and expenses of custodians, transfer agents, registrars, independent pricing vendors or other agents; legal expenses; loan commitment fees; expenses relating to share certificates; expenses relating to the issuing and redemption or repurchase of the Fund’s shares and servicing shareholder accounts; expenses of registering and qualifying the Fund’s shares for sale under applicable federal and state law; expenses of preparing, setting in print, printing and distributing prospectuses and statements of additional information and any supplements thereto, reports, proxy statements, notices and dividends to the Fund’s shareholders; costs of stationery; website costs; costs of meetings of the Board or any committee thereof, meetings of shareholders and other meetings of the Fund; Board fees; audit fees; travel expenses of officers, members of the Board and employees of the Fund, if any; and the Fund’s pro rata portion of premiums on any fidelity bond and other insurance covering the Fund and its officers, Board members and employees; litigation expenses and any non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including, without limitation, those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Fund is a party and the legal obligation which the Fund may have to indemnify the Fund’s Board members and officers with respect thereto.

6. No member of the Board, officer or employee of the Corporation or Fund shall receive from the Corporation or Fund any salary or other compensation as such member of the Board, officer or employee while he is at the same time a director, officer, or employee of the Manager or any affiliated company of the Manager, except as the Board may decide. This paragraph shall not apply to Board members, executive committee members, consultants and other persons who are not regular members of the Manager’s or any affiliated company’s staff.

7. As compensation for the services performed and the facilities furnished and expenses assumed by the Manager, including the services of any consultants retained by the Manager, the Fund shall pay the Manager, as promptly as possible after the last day of each month, a fee, computed daily at an annual rate set forth opposite the Fund’s name on Schedule A annexed hereto, provided however, that if the Fund invests all or substantially all of its assets in another registered investment company for which the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager serves as investment adviser or investment manager, the annual fee computed as set forth on such Schedule A shall be reduced by the aggregate management fees allocated to that Fund for the Fund’s then-current fiscal year from such other registered investment company. The first payment of the fee shall be made as promptly as possible at the end of the month succeeding the effective date of this Agreement, and shall constitute a full payment of the fee due the Manager for all services prior to that date. If this Agreement is terminated as of any date not the last day of a month, such fee shall be paid as promptly as possible after such date of termination, shall be based on the average daily net assets of the Fund in that period from the beginning of such month to such date of termination, and shall be that proportion of such average daily net assets as the number of business days in such period bears to the number of business days in such month. The average daily net assets of the Fund shall in all cases be based only on business days and be computed as of the time of the regular close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, or such other time as may be determined by the Board.

8. The Manager assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder, in good faith, and shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law, or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of securities transactions for a Fund, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall protect the Manager against any liability to the Fund to which the Manager would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. As used in this Section 8, the term “Manager” shall include any affiliates of the Manager performing services for the Corporation or the Fund contemplated hereby and the partners, shareholders, directors, officers and employees of the Manager and such affiliates.

9. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, or employee of the Manager who may also be a Board member, officer, or employee of the Corporation or the Fund, to engage in any other business or to devote his time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar nature or a dissimilar nature, nor to limit or restrict the right of the Manager to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind, including investment advisory and management services, to any other fund, firm, individual or association. If the purchase or sale of securities consistent with the investment policies of a Fund or one or more other accounts of the Manager is considered at or about the same time, transactions in such securities will be allocated among the accounts in a manner deemed equitable by the Manager. Such transactions may be combined, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and consistent with the Manager’s policies and procedures as presented to the Board from time to time.

D-3

10. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Fund’s “net assets” shall be determined as provided in the Fund’s then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information and the terms “assignment,” “interested person,” and “majority of the outstanding voting securities” shall have the meanings given to them by Section 2(a) of the 1940 Act, subject to such exemptions as may be granted by the SEC by any rule, regulation or order.

11. This Agreement will become effective with respect to the Fund on the date set forth opposite the Fund’s name on Schedule A annexed hereto, provided that it shall have been approved by the Corporation’s Board and by the shareholders of the Fund in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act and, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, will continue in effect for two years from the above written date. Thereafter, if not terminated, this Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to the Fund, so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by the Board or (ii) by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, provided that in either event the continuance is also approved by a majority of the Board members who are not interested persons of any party to this Agreement, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

12. This Agreement is terminable with respect to the Fund without penalty by the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, in each case on not more than 60 days’ nor less than 30 days’ written notice to the Manager, or by the Manager on not less than 90 days’ written notice to the Fund, and will be terminated upon the mutual written consent of the Manager and the Corporation. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment by the Manager and shall not be assignable by the Corporation without the consent of the Manager.

13. The Manager agrees that for services rendered to the Fund, or for any claim by it in connection with services rendered to the Fund, it shall look only to assets of the Fund for satisfaction and that it shall have no claim against the assets of any other portfolios of the Corporation.

14. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought, and no material amendment of the Agreement shall be effective until approved, if so required by the 1940 Act, by vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities.

15. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Should any part of this Agreement be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. This Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors.

16. This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions thereof interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their officers thereunto duly authorized.

FORM OF

SUBADVISORY CONSULTING AGREEMENT

Agreement dated as of             , by and between [SALOMON BROTHERS ASSET MANAGEMENT INC], a Delaware corporation (“[SBAM]”) and [CITIGROUP ASSET MANAGEMENT LIMITED], a company incorporated under the laws of England (“[CAM Limited]”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement dated as of              between SBAM and [Fund (the “Fund”)] (the “Management Agreement”), SBAM is the Investment Manager to the Fund, a [closed-end][open-end]¹ management investment company [comprised of separate portfolios of investment companies]¹;

WHEREAS, SBAM desires to retain CAM Limited to assist SBAM in furnishing certain investment services to the Fund;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein made, SBAM and CAM Limited agree as follows:

1. SBAM hereby employs CAM Limited to serve as Sub-Adviser Consultant to SBAM with respect to such portion of the assets of the Fund as SBAM shall allocate (the “Designated Portion”), it being contemplated that all of such assets are to be invested in foreign currencies and the non-dollar denominated debt securities of non-U.S. issuers. CAM Limited will have full power to direct the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Designated Portion of the Fund in accordance with the requirements of the Management Contract. CAM Limited hereby accepts such employment and agrees, for the compensation herein provided, to assume all obligations herein set forth. CAM Limited represents, warrants and covenants that it is authorized and regulated by Financial Services Authority (the “FSA”) and has classified the Fund as an Intermediate Customer as defined by the FSA Rules.

2. SBAM will pay CAM Limited, as full compensation for all services provided under this Subadvisory Consulting Agreement, a fee (such portion herein referred to as the “Subadvisory Consulting Fee”) in an amount equal to the rate set forth on Annex I multiplied by the current value of the net assets of the Designated Portion of the Fund and divided by the current value of the net assets of the Fund. The Subadvisory Consulting Fee shall be accrued for each calendar day in the period commencing as of the date first above written and ending on the date on which this Subadvisory Consulting Agreement terminates and the sum of the daily fee accruals shall be paid to CAM Limited by SBAM at such times and for such periods as CAM Limited and SBAM shall agree.

3. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first above written and shall remain in force for two years from the date hereof, and for such successive annual periods thereafter but only so long as each such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (1) a vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) or by the Fund’s Board of Directors and (2) a majority of the Directors of the Fund who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any such parties (other than as Directors of the Fund), by vote cast in person at a meeting duly called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

4. This Agreement may be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty: (1) by a vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors of the Fund on sixty (60) days’ written notice to CAM Limited and SBAM; (2) by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund (as defined in the 1940 Act); or (3) by CAM Limited or SBAM on 60 days’ written notice to the Fund.

This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its assignment, the term “assignment” for this purpose having the meaning defined in Section 2(a)(4) of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder.

5. Nothing contained herein shall limit the obligations of SBAM under the Management Agreement.

6. To the extent that state law is not preempted by the provisions of any law of the United States heretofore or hereafter enacted, as the same may be amended from time to time, this Agreement shall be administered, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

7. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

¹ As applicable.

NOMINATING COMMITTEE CHARTER

Organization

The Nominating Committee of each registered investment company listed on Appendix A hereto (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) shall be composed solely of Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and, with respect to those Funds listed on the New York Stock Exchange, who are “independent” as defined in the New York Stock Exchange listing standards (“Independent Directors”). The Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Board”) shall nominate the members of the Committee and shall designate the Chairperson of the Committee. The Chairperson shall preside at each meeting of the Committee.

Responsibilities

The Committee shall select and nominate persons for election or appointment by the Board as Directors of the Fund.

Evaluation of Potential Nominees

In evaluating a person as a potential nominee to serve as a Director of the Fund, the Committee should consider among other factors it may deem relevant:

• whether or not the person is an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act and whether the person is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Director of the Fund;

• whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence, such as any business, financial or family relationships with Fund management, the investment manager of the Fund, other Fund service providers or their affiliates;

• whether or not the person serves on boards of, or is otherwise affiliated with, competing financial service organizations or their related mutual fund complexes;

• whether or not the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Director of the Fund;

• the contribution which the person can make to the Board and the Fund (or, if the person has previously served as a Director of the Fund, the contribution which the person made to the Board during his or her previous term of service), with consideration being given to the person’s business and professional experience, education and such other factors as the Committee may consider relevant;

• the character and integrity of the person; and

• whether or not the selection and nomination of the person would be consistent with the requirements of the Fund’s retirement policies.

While the Committee is solely responsible for the selection and nomination of Directors, the Committee may consider nominees recommended by Fund stockholders as it deems appropriate. Stockholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send nominations to the Secretary of the Fund that include all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of Directors. The recommendation must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board of Directors and to serve if elected by the stockholders.

Quorum

A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of the members of the Committee present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Committee.

L-1

Nomination of Directors

After a determination by the Committee that a person should be selected and nominated as a Director of the Fund, the Committee shall present its recommendation to the full Board for its consideration.

Meetings

The Committee may meet either on its own or in conjunction with meetings of the Board. Meetings of the Committee may be held in person, video conference or by conference telephone. The Committee may take action by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting.

Adopted: January 20, 2004 (for Board I with respect to all Funds overseen by Board I except Salomon Brothers Inflation Management Fund Inc., with respect to which the Charter was adopted on April 19, 2004, and Salomon Brothers Variable Rate Strategic Fund Inc., with respect to which the Charter the charter was adopted on September 13, 2004) and February 4, 2004 (for Board II)
