#   Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Fund normally obtains market values for its securities from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized “matrix” systems that derive values based on comparable securities. A matrix system incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio securities. Securities which are listed on U.S. and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued at the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. In cases where securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”), the investment advisor and administrator of the Fund. UBS Global AM is an indirect wholly owned asset management subsidiary of UBS AG, an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland and operations in many areas of the financial services industry. If a market value is not available from an independent pricing source for a particular security, that security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Fund’s board of directors. (the “Board”) All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued weekly in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time of such valuation. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined prior to the close of the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the value of the foreign investments and such exchange rates occur between the time at which they are determined and the close of the NYSE, which will not be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net asset value. If events materially affecting the value of such securities or currency exchange rates occur during such time periods, the securities will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board.
    Securities in which the Fund invests are traded in markets that close before 4.00 p.m. Eastern Time. Normally, developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and 4.00 p.m. Eastern Time will not be reflected in the Fund’s NAV. However, the Fund may determine that such developments are so significant that they will materially affect the value of the Fund’s securities. The Fund may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what the Board believes to be the fair value of these securities as of 4.00 p.m. Eastern Time.
