                               Issues Statement



NEW YORK - (PR Newswire-FirstCall) - December 1, 2003
Salomon Brothers Emerging Markets Income Fund Inc., which is traded on the New
York Stock Exchange under the symbol "EMD," issued today the following
statement:

The Fund has received the following information from Citigroup Asset
Management ("CAM"), the Citigroup business unit which includes the Fund's
Investment Manager and other investment advisory companies, all of which are
indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Citigroup. CAM is reviewing its entry,
through an affiliate, into the transfer agent business in the period
1997-1999. As CAM currently understands the facts, at the time CAM decided to
enter the transfer agent business, CAM sub-contracted for a period of five
years certain of the transfer agency services to a third party and also
concluded a revenue guarantee agreement with this sub-contractor providing
that the sub-contractor would guarantee certain benefits to CAM or its
affiliates (the "Revenue Guarantee Agreement"). In connection with the
subsequent purchase of the sub-contractor's business by an affiliate of the
current sub-transfer agent (PFPC Inc.) used by CAM on many of the funds it
manages, this Revenue Guarantee Agreement was amended eliminating those
benefits in exchange for arrangements that included a one-time payment from
the sub-contractor.

The Boards of CAM-managed funds (the "Boards") were not informed of the
Revenue Guarantee Agreement with the sub-contractor at the time the Boards
considered and approved the transfer agent arrangements. Nor were the Boards
informed of the subsequent amendment to the Revenue Guarantee Agreement when
that occurred.

CAM has begun to take corrective actions. CAM will pay to the applicable funds
$16 million (plus interest) that CAM and its affiliates received from the
Revenue Guarantee Agreement and its amendment. CAM also plans an independent
review to verify that the transfer agency fees charged by CAM were fairly
priced as compared to competitive alternatives. CAM is instituting new
procedures and making changes designed to ensure no similar arrangements are
entered into in the future.

CAM has briefed the SEC, the New York State Attorney General and other
regulators with respect to this matter, as well as the U.S. Attorney who is
investigating the matter. CAM is cooperating with governmental authorities on
this matter.





The Fund's transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, is not
affiliated with either CAM or PFPC Inc.

Salomon Brothers Emerging Markets Income Fund Inc., a non-diversified
investment management company, is managed by Salomon Brothers Asset Management
Inc, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc.
