To Ratify the Selection of Ernst & Young LLP as Independent Auditors for each Fund Please vote your Proxy promptly to avoid the need for further mailings. Your vote is important. /s/Wayne A. Stork Wayne A. Stork Chairman September 28, 1999 DELAWARE SM 1818 Market Street INVESTMENTS Philadelphia, PA 19103 1-800-523-1918 PROXY STATEMENT JOINT ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1999 Meeting Information. The Board of Directors or Trustees (each Board is hereafter referred to as a "Board of Directors" and Board members are referred to as "Directors") of each Fund listed on the accompanying Notice is soliciting your proxy to be voted at the Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Thursday, October 28, 1999 at 10:00 a.m. at the Union League of Philadelphia, 140 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and any adjournments of the meeting (hereafter, the "Meeting"). Purpose of Meeting. The purpose of the Meeting is to consider the Proposals listed in the accompanying Notice. The Board of Directors of each Fund urges you to complete, sign and return the Proxy Card (or Cards) included with this Proxy Statement, whether or not you intend to be present at the Meeting. It is important that you provide voting instructions promptly to help assure a quorum for the Meeting. General Voting Information. Shareholders may provide proxy instructions by returning their Proxy Card(s) by mail in the enclosed envelope. The persons designated on the Proxy Card(s) as proxies will vote your shares as you instruct on each Proxy Card. If your signed Proxy Card is returned without any voting instructions, your shares will be voted "FOR" each of the nominees for election as Director and "FOR" the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors for the Fund. The persons designated as proxies will also be authorized to vote in their discretion on any other matters which may come before the Meeting. If you sign and return a Proxy Card, you may still attend the Meeting to vote your shares in person. If your shares are held of record by a broker and you wish to vote in person at the Meeting, you should obtain a Legal Proxy from your broker of record and present it at the Meeting. You may also revoke your proxy at any time before the Meeting: (i) by notifying Delaware Investments in writing at 1818 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103; (ii) by submitting a later signed Proxy Card; or (iii) by voting your shares in person at the Meeting. If your shares are held in the name of your broker, you will have to make arrangements with your broker to revoke any previously executed proxy. Each shareholder may cast one vote for each full share and a partial vote for each partial share of a Fund that they owned on the record date, which was September 16, 1999. Exhibit A shows the number of shares of each Fund that were outstanding on the record date and Exhibit B lists the shareholders who owned 5% or more of each Fund on that date. It is expected that this Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy Card(s) will be mailed to shareholders of record on or about October 6, 1999. This proxy solicitation is being made largely by mail, but may also be made by officers or employees of the Fund or their investment managers or affiliates, through telephone, facsimile, or other communications. Delaware Management Company ("DMC"), the Funds' investment manager, will reimburse banks, brokers or dealers for their reasonable expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to shareholders. Required Votes. All shareholders of each Fund vote together on the Proposals, regardless of whether the Fund has both common and preferred shareholders, with one exception. That is that the holders of preferred shares of each of the six Funds that were previously part of the Voyageur family of funds ("Voyageur Funds") have the exclusive right to separately elect two Directors, in addition to the right to vote for the remaining Directors together with the holders of the common shares. The amount of votes of each Fund that are needed to approve the Proposals varies. The voting requirements are described within each Proposal. Abstentions will be included for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting. They will be treated as votes present at the Meeting, but will not be treated as votes cast. They therefore would have no effect on Proposals which require a plurality or majority of votes cast for approval, but would have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" on Proposals requiring a majority of votes present. (These different voting standards are explained in the various Proposals.) Because the two Proposals presented are considered to be "routine" voting items, the Funds do not expect to recognize broker non-votes. In the event that a quorum is not present or if sufficient votes are not received for the adoption of any proposal, management may propose an adjournment or adjournments of the Meeting. Any adjournment would require a vote in favor of the adjournment by the holders of a majority of the shares present at the Meeting (or any adjournment thereof) in person or by proxy. In such circumstances, the persons named as proxies will vote in favor of any proposed adjournment. Proposal One: To Elect a Board of Directors for each Fund You are being asked to vote to elect each of the current members of the Board of Directors for your Fund. The nominees are: Wayne A. Stork, David K. Downes, Walter P. Babich, Anthony D. Knerr, Ann R. Leven, Thomas F. Madison, Charles E. Peck and Jan L. Yeomans. In addition, shareholders of Delaware Group Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. and Delaware Group Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. are being asked to re-elect John H. Durham, who is also a current member of the Board of Directors of each of those Funds. Mr. Durham is not currently a member of the Board of the Voyageur Funds and is not a nominee for the Boards of those Funds. The Voyageur Funds each issue shares of common stock and shares of preferred stock. The governing documents of each of these Funds provide that the holders of preferred shares of the Fund are entitled to elect two of the Fund's Directors, and the remaining Directors are to be elected by the holders of the preferred shares and common shares voting together. The nominees for Directors to be voted on separately by the preferred shareholders of such Funds are Thomas F. Madison and Jan L. Yeomans. If elected, these persons will serve as Directors until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders called for the purpose of electing Directors, and/or until their successors have been elected and qualify for office. It is not expected that any nominee will withdraw or become unavailable for election, but in such a case, the power given by you in the Proxy Card may be used to vote for a substitute nominee or nominees as recommended by the existing Board of Directors.

Board and Committee Meetings. During the twelve months ended September 30, 1999, each Fund held seven Board meetings. All of the Directors attended at least 75% of those meetings during the time which they served as Director. Each Fund has an Audit Committee for the purpose of meeting, at least annually, with the Fund's independent auditors and officers to oversee the quality of financial reporting and the internal controls of the Fund, and for such other purposes as the Board of Directors may from time to time direct. The Audit Committee of each Fund consists of the following four Directors appointed by the Board, all of whom are considered to be independent because they are not "interested persons" under the 1940 Act: Ann R. Leven, Chairperson, Walter P. Babich, Anthony D. Knerr, Thomas F. Madison and Charles E. Peck. Members of the Audit Committee serve for three years or until their successors have been appointed and qualified. The Audit Committee held four meetings for each Fund during the twelve months ended September 30, 1999. Each Board of Directors also has a Nominating Committee, which meets for the purpose of proposing nominees to serve as Directors. Nominees are considered by the full Board of Directors for each Fund and, when appropriate, by shareholders at annual or special shareholder meetings. The Nominating Committee of each Fund currently consists of the following three Directors appointed by the Board: Anthony D. Knerr and Charles E. Peck, both of whom are independent, and Wayne A. Stork. The selection and nomination of the independent Director nominees is committed to the discretion of the present independent Directors. The Nominating Committee will consider suggestions for Board of Directors nominations from shareholders. Shareholders who wish to suggest candidates for nomination to the Boards of Directors at any future annual meeting should identify the candidate and furnish a written statement of the person's qualifications to the Nominating Committee at the principal executive offices of the Funds. Board Compensation. Each independent Director receives compensation from each Fund of which he/she is a member of the Board of Directors. The interested Directors are compensated by the investment manager and do not receive compensation from the Funds. Each independent Director (other than John H. Durham) currently receives a total annual retainer fee of $38,000 for serving as a Director for all 33 investment companies within Delaware Investments, plus $3,145 for each set of Board meetings attended (seven regular meetings). John H. Durham currently receives a total annual retainer fee of $31,180 for serving as a Director for 19 investment companies within Delaware Investments, plus $1,810 for each set of Board meetings attended. Members of the Audit Committee currently receive additional annual compensation of $5,000 from all Companies, in the aggregate, with the exception of the chairperson, who receives $6,000. Under the terms of each Company's retirement plan for Directors, each independent Director who, at the time of his or her retirement from the Board of Directors, has attained the age of 70 and served on the Board of Directors for at least five continuous years, is entitled to receive payments from the Company for a period of time equal to the lesser of the number of years that the person served as a Director or the remainder of the person's life. The annual amount of such payments will be equal to the amount of the annual retainer that is paid to Directors of the Company at the time of the person's retirement. If an eligible Director of each Company within the Delaware Investments family had retired as of August 31, 1999, he or she would have been entitled to annual payments in an amount equal to the annual retainer fee noted in the previous paragraph. The following table identifies the amount each Director received from each Fund during its last fiscal year and from the fund complex as a whole during the twelve months ended August 31, 1999. - ------------------- --------- --------- ---------- ----------- ------------ -------------- ----------- ------------ ------------- Fund Name Wayne David Walter John H.

Officers. Each Board of Directors and the senior management of the Funds appoint officers each year, and from time to time as necessary. The following individuals are executive officers of one or more of the Funds: Wayne A. Stork, David K. Downes, Richard G. Unruh, H. Thomas McMeekin, Richard J. Flannery, Eric E. Miller, Michael P. Bishof, Joseph H. Hastings, Patrick P. Coyne, Mitchell L. Conery, Elizabeth H. Howell, Paul A. Matlack, Andrew M. McCullagh and Michael J. Dugan. Exhibit D includes biographical information and the past business experience of such officers, except for Mr. Stork and Mr. Downes, whose information is set forth above along with the other Directors. The Exhibit also identifies which officers are also officers of DMC or Delaware International Advisors Ltd. ("DIAL"), the sub-adviser to Delaware Group Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. The above officers of the Funds own shares of common stock and/or options to purchase shares of common stock of Lincoln National Corporation ("LNC"), the ultimate parent of DMC and DIAL. They are considered to be "interested persons" of the Funds under the 1940 Act. Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that directors, certain officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of each Fund's common stock, as well as each Fund's investment manager or sub-adviser and certain affiliated persons of the investment manager or sub-adviser, file with the SEC and the relevant securities exchange, reports of their ownership and changes in ownership of such common stock on Forms 3, 4 and 5. Such filing persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish to each such Fund copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 that they file. Based upon a review of these filings and certain written representatives from such persons that no other reports were required to be filed, the Funds believe that, except as noted below, the requirements of Section 16 were met. All of the Funds note that Form 3s were not filed on a timely basis for Jan L. Yeomans. Delaware Group Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. and Delaware Group Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. note that Form 3s were not filed on a timely basis for John H. Durham and Michael J. Dugan. Management's Ownership of the Funds. Attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit E is a list of the Directors' shareholdings of the Delaware Investments Funds on an individual basis. Exhibit A lists the aggregate holdings by all of the Directors and executive officers as a group. Required Vote. Provided that a quorum is present at the Meeting, either in person or by proxy, the following votes are required to elect each Fund's Board of Directors. For Delaware Group Dividend and Income Fund, Inc., Delaware Group Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. and Voyageur Florida Insured Municipal Income Fund, a plurality of votes cast at the Meeting is sufficient to elect any nominee as Director. This means that the nominees receiving the largest number of votes will be elected to fill the available Board positions. For the remaining five Funds, which are Delaware-Voyageur Funds, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented at the Meeting is required to elect each nominee as Director. In addition, the holders of the preferred shares of the six Voyageur Funds have the exclusive right to vote to elect Mr. Madison and Ms. Yeomans to the Board of Directors of those Funds. The affirmative vote of a majority of the preferred shares represented at the Meeting of a Voyageur Fund is sufficient to elect these two nominees, except in the case of Voyageur Florida Insured Municipal Income Fund, where the vote of only a plurality of the preferred shares is required. Proposal Two: To Ratify the Selection of Ernst & Young LLP as Independent Auditors for the Company The Board of Directors of each Fund has selected Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors for the current fiscal year and shareholders are asked to ratify this selection. Ernst & Young LLP's principal address is Two Commerce Square, Philadelphia, PA 19103. A representative from Ernst & Young LLP is expected to be present at the Meeting. The representative of Ernst & Young LLP will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. Each Fund's Audit Committee meets periodically with the representatives of Ernst & Young LLP to receive reports from Ernst & Young LLP and plan for the Fund's annual audit. Required Vote. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes of Delaware Group Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. and Delaware Group Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. that are cast at the Meeting is required to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP for those Funds. The shareholders of the Delaware-Voyageur Funds can ratify the selection of the auditors with the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the Meeting. The Board of Directors of each Fund recommends you ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors for such Fund for the current fiscal year. OTHER INFORMATION Investment Manager.
