This is your official notice that the Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders (“Meeting”) of each Delaware Investments closed-end registered investment company listed above (each individually, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) will be held at the offices of Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP, located at One Commerce Square, 2005 Market Street, 26th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 on Wednesday, August 18, 2010 at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. The purpose of the Meeting is:

Meeting Information. The Board of Directors or Trustees (each Board is hereinafter referred to as a “Board” 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 Wednesday, August 18, 2010, at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, at the offices of Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP located at One Commerce Square, 2005 Market Street, 26th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 and/or at any adjournments of the meeting (the “Meeting”). Only Fund shareholders will be admitted to the Meeting.

General Voting Information. You may provide proxy instructions by returning the enclosed proxy card(s) (“Proxy Card”) 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 you return a signed Proxy Card without any voting instructions, your shares will be voted “FOR” the proposal (the “Proposal”) in accordance with the recommendation of the Board. The persons designated on the Proxy Card as proxies will also be authorized to vote (or to withhold their votes) in their discretion on any other matters which properly come before the Meeting. They may also vote in their discretion to adjourn 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 and present it at the Meeting. You may revoke your proxy at any time before the Meeting (i) by notifying Delaware Investments in writing at 2005 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 of record on June 21, 2010 (the “Record Date”). 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 any Fund on that date. It is expected that this Combined Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy Card(s) will be first mailed to shareholders on or about July 9, 2010.

This proxy solicitation is being made primarily by mail, but may also be made by officers or employees of the Funds or their investment manager or affiliates, through telephone, facsimile, or other communications. The Funds may also employ a professional proxy solicitation firm. If a proxy solicitor is used, the cost will be borne by the Funds. The Funds may reimburse banks, brokers or dealers for their reasonable expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of the Funds’ shares.

The presence in person or by proxy of holders of a majority of a Fund’s outstanding shares shall constitute a quorum for such Fund. In the event that a quorum is not present or if sufficient votes are not received consistent with the Board’s recommendation regarding the Proposal, management may propose an adjournment or adjournments of the Meeting for a Fund. Any adjournment would require a vote in favor of the adjournment by the holders of a majority of the shares present at the Meeting in person or by proxy. The persons named as proxies on the Proxy Card(s) may vote (or withhold their votes) in their discretion on any proposed adjournment.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes. Because the only Proposal is for the election of Directors, the Funds do not expect to receive any abstentions or broker non-votes. In the unlikely event that they do, however, abstentions and broker non-votes will be included for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present for each Fund 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 a proposal which requires a plurality or majority of votes cast for approval, but would have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” a proposal requiring a majority of votes present. Broker non-votes arise when shares are held in street name and the broker does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Broker non-votes can occur when a meeting has (1) a “routine” proposal, such as the election of directors, where the applicable stock exchange permits brokers to vote their clients’ shares in their discretion, and (2) a “non-routine” proposal, such as a change to a fundamental investment policy, where the applicable exchange does not permit brokers to vote their clients’ shares in their discretion. The shares that are considered to be present as a result of the broker discretionary vote on the routine proposal but that are not voted on the non-routine proposal are called “broker non-votes.” Because the Proposal presented is considered to be a “routine” voting item, the Funds do not expect to receive any broker non-votes.

Copies of each Fund’s most recent Annual Report and Semi-Annual Report, including financial statements, have previously been delivered to shareholders. Copies of these reports are available upon request, at no charge, by writing the Funds at the address shown on the top of the first page of the Combined Proxy Statement or by calling 1-800-523-1918.

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 by the persons named as proxies to vote for a substitute nominee or nominees as recommended by the Board.

Common Board of Directors. The business of each Fund is managed under the direction of its Board. The Directors also serve on the Boards of all other investment companies that comprise the Delaware Investments Family of Funds. The Directors believe that having a common Board for all funds in the complex is efficient and enhances the ability of the Board to address its responsibilities to each fund in the complex. The Directors believe that the common board structure allows the Directors to leverage their individual expertise and that their judgment is enhanced by serving on the boards of all the funds in the complex.

Board Chairman. Mr. Coyne, who is an Interested Director, serves as the Chairman of the Board. The Board believes that it is beneficial to have a representative of Fund management as its Chairman. Mr. Coyne is President of Delaware Management Company (“DMC”) and its service provider affiliates and oversees the day-to-day investment and business affairs affecting DMC and the Funds. Accordingly, his

Coordinating Director. The Board designates one of the independent Directors to serve as Coordinating Director. The Coordinating Director, in consultation with Fund management, counsel and the other Directors, proposes Board agenda topics, actively participates in developing Board meeting agendas, and ensures that appropriate and timely information is provided to the Board in connection with Board meetings. The Coordinating Director also conducts meetings of the independent Directors. The Coordinating Director also generally serves as a liaison between outside Directors, the Chairman, Fund officers, and counsel, and is an ex officio member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance and Investment Committees, discussed below.

Size and Composition of Board. The Board is comprised of nine Directors. The Directors believe that the current size of the Board is conducive to Board interaction, dialogue and debate, resulting in an effective decision-making body. The Board is comprised of Directors with a variety of professional backgrounds. The Board believes that the skill sets of its members are complementary and add to the overall effectiveness of the Board. The Directors regard diversity as an important consideration in the present composition of the Board and the selection of qualified candidates to fill vacancies on the Board.

Board Meetings. Each of Delaware Investments Arizona Municipal Income Fund, Inc., Delaware Investments Colorado Municipal Income Fund, Inc., Delaware Investments National Municipal Income Fund, and Delaware Investments Minnesota Municipal Fund II, Inc., (each, a “Municipal Fund,” and collectively, the “Municipal Funds”) held six Board meetings during their last fiscal year, ended March 31, 2010. Delaware Investments Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. (“DDF”), Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund (“DEX”) and Delaware Investments Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. (“DGF”) held six Board meetings during their last fiscal year, ended November 30, 2009. Each Director attended at least 75% of the Board meetings described above and of the meetings of committees on which the Director serves. Directors are encouraged to attend each annual meeting of shareholders either in person or by telephone, if possible. All Directors were present at the Funds’ annual meeting held on August 19, 2009.

Board Committees. The Board has established several committees, each of which focuses on a particular substantive area and provides reports and recommendations to the full Board. The committee structure enables the Board to manage efficiently and effectively the large volume of information relevant to the Board’s oversight of the Funds. The committees benefit from the professional expertise of their members. At the same time, membership on a committee enhances the expertise of its members and benefits the overall effectiveness of the Board.

Each Fund has an Audit Committee that monitors accounting and financial reporting policies, practices and internal controls for the Fund. It also oversees the quality and objectivity of the Fund’s financial statements and the independent audit thereof, and acts as a liaison between the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm and the full Board. The Audit Committee of each Fund consists of the following independent Directors appointed by the Board: Thomas F. Madison, Chairperson; Thomas L. Bennett; John A. Fry; Janet L. Yeomans, and J. Richard Zecher. Each Audit Committee member is not an “interested person” of the Funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and each meets the standard of independence for Audit Committee members set forth in the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and NYSE Amex Equities (“NYSE Amex”) (formerly the American Stock Exchange). Members of the Audit Committee serve for two year terms or until their successors have been appointed and qualified. The Audit Committee held five meetings for DDF, DEX and DGF for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009 and five meetings for the Municipal Funds for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. The Board of each Fund has adopted a written charter for the Fund’s Audit Committee, which is available on the Funds’ website at www.delawareinvestments.com.

Each Fund has an Independent Directors Committee that develops and recommends to the Board a set of corporate governance principles and oversees the evaluation of the Board, its committees and its activities. The committee is comprised of all of the Fund’s independent Directors. The Independent Directors Committee held four meetings during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009 for DDF, DEX and DGF, and four meetings for the Municipal Funds for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

Each Fund has an Investments Committee. The primary purposes of the Investments Committee are to: (i) assist the Board at its request in its oversight of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Fund’s investment adviser as well as any sub-advisers; (ii) review all proposed advisory and sub-advisory agreements for new funds or proposed amendments to existing agreements and to recommend what action the full Board and the independent Trustees should take regarding the approval of all such proposed agreements; and (iii) review reports supplied by the investment adviser regarding investment performance, portfolio risk and expenses and to suggest changes to such reports. The Investments Committee consists of the following five independent Directors: Thomas L. Bennett, Chairman; Anthony D. Knerr, Lucinda S. Landreth, Janet L. Yeomans; and Ann R. Leven (ex officio). The Investments Committee held four meetings during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009 for DDF, DEX and DGF, and four meetings for the Municipal Funds for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

Each Fund’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) that recommends Board members, fills vacancies and considers the qualifications of Board members. The committee also monitors the performance of counsel for the independent Trustees. The Nominating Committee is comprised of the following Directors appointed by the Board: John A. Fry, Chairperson; Anthony D. Knerr; J. Richard Zecher, and Ann R. Leven (ex-officio), all of whom meet the independence requirements set forth in the listing standards of the NYSE and NYSE Amex and are not “interested persons” under the 1940 Act. The Nominating Committee recommends nominees for independent Directors for consideration by the incumbent independent Directors of each Fund, and the Nominating Committee recommends nominees for interested Directors for consideration by the full Board of each Fund. The Nominating Committee held four meetings during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009 for DDF, DEX and DGF and four meetings for the Municipal Funds for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. Each Fund’s Board has adopted a formal charter for the Nominating Committee setting forth its responsibilities, which is available on the Funds’ website at www.delawareinvestments.com.

The Nominating Committee will consider shareholder recommendations for nominations to the Board only in the event that there is a vacancy on the Board. Shareholders who wish to submit recommendations for nominations to fill a vacancy on the Board must submit the recommendations in writing to John A. Fry, Chairman of the Nominating Committee, c/o the Funds at 2005 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. Shareholders should include appropriate information on the background and qualifications of any person recommended to the Nominating Committee (e.g., a resume), as well as the candidate’s contact information and a written consent from the candidate to serve if nominated and elected. Shareholder recommendations for nominations to the Board will be accepted on an ongoing basis and such recommendations will be kept on file for consideration when there is a vacancy on the Board.

The Nominating Committee generally identifies candidates for Board membership through personal and business contacts of Directors and shareholders. In addition, the Nominating Committee may use a search firm to identify candidates for the Board. The Nominating Committee’s process for evaluating a candidate generally includes a review of the candidate’s background and experience, a check of the candidate’s references, other due diligence and, when appropriate, interviews with Nominating Committee members. In evaluating a candidate, the Nominating Committee will also consider whether the candidate, if elected, would be an independent director for purposes of the 1940 Act and the listing standards of the NYSE and NYSE Amex.

The Nominating Committee has not established any specific minimum requirements that candidates must meet in order to be recommended by the Nominating Committee for nomination for election to the Board. Rather, the Nominating Committee seeks candidates who, in its judgment, will serve the best interests of the Funds’ long-term shareholders and whose background will complement the experience, skills and diversity of the other Directors and add to the overall effectiveness of the Board.

In evaluating and selecting candidates for the Board, the Board intends to seek individuals who will serve the best interests of the Funds’ shareholders and whose attributes will, among other factors, also complement the experience, skills and diversity of the other Directors and add to the overall effectiveness of the Board. In the evaluation of such candidates, the Board believes that diversity with respect to factors such as background, education, experience, skills, differences of viewpoint, race, gender, national origin, and other factors that contribute to the Board’s having an appropriate range of expertise, talents, experiences and viewpoints is an important consideration in the Board’s composition. In addition to discussing diversity considerations in connection with the evaluation of each candidate for Board membership, the Board requests that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee discuss diversity considerations on a periodic basis in connection with the composition of the Board as a whole.

In reaching its determination that an individual should serve or continue to serve as a Director, the committee considers, in light of each Fund’s business and structure, the individual’s experience, qualifications, attributes and skills (the “Selection Factors”). No one Selection Factor is determinative, but some of the relevant factors that have been considered include: (i) the Director’s business and professional experience and accomplishments, including prior experience in the financial services industry or on other boards; (ii) the ability to work effectively and collegially with other people; and (iii) how the Director’s background and attributes contribute to the overall mix of skills and experience on the Board as a whole.

Board Role in Risk Oversight. The Board performs a risk oversight function for the Funds consisting, among other things, of the following activities: (1) receiving and reviewing reports related to the performance and operations of the Funds; (2) reviewing, approving, or modifying, as applicable, the compliance policies and procedures of the Funds; (3) meeting with portfolio management teams to review investment strategies, techniques and the processes used to manage related risks; (4) addressing security valuation risk in connection with its review of fair valuation decisions made by Fund management pursuant to Board-approved procedures; (5) meeting with representatives of key service providers, including the Funds’ investment adviser, transfer agent, custodian and independent public accounting firm, to review and discuss the activities of the Funds and to provide direction

The Directors perform this risk oversight function throughout the year in connection with each quarterly Board meeting. The Directors routinely discuss certain risk management topics with Fund management at the Board level and also through the standing committees of the Board. In addition to these recurring risk management discussions, Fund management raises other specific risk management issues relating to the Fund with the Directors at Board and committee meetings. When discussing new product initiatives with the Board, Fund management also discusses risk -- either the risks associated with the new proposals or the risks that the proposals are designed to mitigate. Fund management also provides periodic presentations to the Board to give the Directors a general overview of how the Funds’ investment adviser and its affiliates identify and manage risks pertinent to the Fund.

The Audit Committee looks at specific risk management issues on an ongoing basis. The Audit Committee is responsible for certain aspects of risk oversight relating to financial statements, the valuation of Fund assets, and certain compliance matters. In addition, the Audit Committee meets with the investment adviser’s internal audit and risk management personnel on a quarterly basis to review the reports on their examinations of functions and processes affecting the Fund.

The Board’s other committees also play a role in assessing and managing risk. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Independent Director Committee play a role in managing governance risk by developing and recommending to the Board corporate governance principles and, in the case of the Independent Director Committee, by overseeing the evaluation of the Board, its committees and its activities. The Investments Committee plays a significant role overseeing risk through its review of investment performance, investment process, investment risk controls and Fund expenses.

Because risk is inherent in the operation of any business endeavor, and particularly in connection with the making of financial investments, there can be no assurance that the Board’s approach to risk oversight will be able to minimize or even mitigate any particular risk. Each Fund is designed for investors that are prepared to accept investment risk, including the possibility that as yet unforeseen risks may emerge in the future.

Board Compensation. Each independent Director receives compensation from each Fund of which he/she is a member of the Board. The interested Director is compensated by the investment adviser and does not receive compensation from the Funds. Each independent Director currently receives a total annual retainer fee of $125,000 for serving as a Director of all 30 investment companies within the Fund Complex, plus $10,000 per meeting. Ann R. Leven is the current Lead/Coordinating

Director for the Funds and receives an additional annual retainer totaling $40,000 with respect to all 30 investment companies within the Fund Complex. The incoming annual 2011 Lead/Coordinating Director receives an additional retainer of $20,000. Members of the Audit, Investments, and Nominating Committees receive additional compensation of $2,500 for each Committee meeting attended. In addition, the chairperson of the Audit Committee receives an annual retainer of $25,000, the chairperson of the Investments Committee receives an annual retainer of $20,000, and the chairperson of the Nominating Committee receives an annual retainer of $15,000.

Officers. The Board and the senior management of each Fund appoint officers each year, and from time to time as necessary. The following individuals are executive officers of one or more of the Funds: Patrick P. Coyne, Richard Salus, and Daniel V. Geatens. Exhibit C includes biographical information and the past business experience of these officers, except for Mr. Coyne, whose information is set forth with that of the other Directors. The Exhibit also identifies which of these executive officers are also officers of DMC, the investment adviser of each Fund. These officers are considered to be “interested persons” of the Funds under the 1940 Act. The shares of each Fund that are owned by the executive officers as a group is less than one percent.

Prior to May 27, 2010 (May 20, 2010 in the case of DDF, DGF and DEX), the firm of Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) served as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds. In accordance with Rule 3526 of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, E&Y prior to such date confirmed to each Fund’s Audit Committee the independence of E&Y.

Due to independence requirements under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s auditor independence rules, as applied to the January 4, 2010 acquisition of Delaware Investments (including DMC) by Macquarie Group, E&Y resigned as the auditors for the Funds on May 27, 2010 (May 20, 2010 in the case of DDF, DGF and DEX). At a meeting held on February 18, 2010, the Board, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC (“PwC”) to serve as the auditors for the Municipal Funds for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011, and at a meeting held on May 20, 2010, the Board, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, selected PwC to serve as the auditors for DDF, DGF and DEX for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2010. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 in the case of the Municipal Funds, and during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2009 and November 30, 2008 in the case of DDF, DGF and DEX, E&Y’s audit reports on the financial statements of the Funds did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In addition, there were no disagreements between the Funds and E&Y on accounting principles, financial statements disclosures or audit scope, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement in their reports. Neither the Funds nor anyone on their behalf had consulted with PwC at any time prior to their selection with respect to the application of accounting principles to any transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Funds’ financial statements.

Each Fund’s Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to provide a framework for the Audit Committee’s consideration of non-audit services by the auditors. These policies and procedures require that any non-audit service to be provided by the auditors to a Fund, DMC, or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with DMC that relate directly to the operations or financial reporting of a Fund are subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee before such service is provided. The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain services with respect to the Funds up to certain specified fee limits.

As required by its charter, each Fund’s Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with Fund management and representatives from E&Y the audited financial statements for each Fund’s last fiscal year. The Audit Committee has discussed with E&Y its judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Funds’ accounting principles and such other matters required to be discussed with the Audit Committee by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 90 (Communication with Audit Committees). The Audit Committee also received the written disclosures and the letter from E&Y required by Rule 3526 of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and discussed with a representative of E&Y the firm’s independence. Each Fund’s Board considered fees received by E&Y from DMC and its affiliates during the last fiscal year in connection with its consideration of the E&Y’s independence. Based on the foregoing discussions with management and the independent auditors, each Fund’s Audit Committee unanimously recommended to the Fund’s Board that the aforementioned audited financial statements be included in each Fund’s annual report to shareholders for the last fiscal year.

As noted above, the members of each Fund’s Audit Committee are: Thomas L. Bennett, John A. Fry, Thomas L. Madison, Janet L. Yeomans and J. Richard Zecher. All members of each Fund’s Audit Committee meet the standard of independence set forth in the listing standards of the NYSE and NYSE Amex, as applicable, and are not considered to be “interested persons” under the Investment Company Act

Audit fees. The aggregate fees paid to E&Y in connection with the annual audit of each Fund’s financial statements and for services normally provided by the independent auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009 for DEX, DDF and DGF and ended March 31, 2010 for the Municipal Funds, and for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008 for DEX, DDF and DGF and ended March 31, 2009 for the Municipal Funds are set forth below:

The aggregate fees billed for all services other than those set forth above provided by the Funds’ independent auditors to the Funds’ investment adviser and other service providers under common control with the investment adviser and that relate directly to the operations or financial reporting of the Funds were $0 for the Funds’ prior two fiscal years.

Aggregate non-audit fees to the Funds, the investment adviser and service provider affiliates. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the independent auditors for services rendered to the Municipal Funds and to their investment adviser and other service providers under common control with the investment adviser were $212,214 and $263,202 for the Funds’ fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, respectively. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the independent auditors for services rendered to DEX and to its investment adviser and other service providers under common control with the investment adviser were $204,264 and $258,552 for the Fund’s fiscal years ended November 30, 2009 and November 30, 2008, respectively.

In connection with its selection of the independent auditors, the Audit Committee has considered the independent auditors’ provision of non-audit services to the investment adviser and other service providers under common control with the investment adviser that were not required to be pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X. The Audit Committee has determined that the independent auditors’ provision of these services is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.
